Steve Benton, and Mayor President, are Kiesel here.

9
00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:26,320
Actually, item for special presentations,

10
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:36,020
or point one, a proclamation recognizing May 2026 as Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

11
00:02:36,020 --> 00:02:39,740
Okay, for those of you who come in, that's what we call them.

12
00:02:45,970 --> 00:02:50,610
Recognizing May 20, 26, as an Asian American Native Hawaiian

13
00:02:50,610 --> 00:02:56,210
and Pacific Islanders, A.A. and H.P.I. Heritage Month.

14
00:02:56,730 --> 00:03:00,750
Whereas Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander,

15
00:03:00,930 --> 00:03:04,790
A.A. and H.P.I. Heritage Month is an annual celebration

16
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:08,810
in the recognizes of historical and cultural contributions

17
00:03:08,810 --> 00:03:12,010
of individuals and groups of Asian and Pacific Islanders.

18
00:03:12,010 --> 00:03:19,510
to the United States Gantt, whereas according to the federal Asian Pacific American Council

19
00:03:19,510 --> 00:03:29,850
at APAC, the theme for A&HPI Heritage Month, 2026 is power and unity, strengthening communities

20
00:03:29,850 --> 00:03:36,810
together, highlighting the importance of leveraging collective power, telling stories and building

21
00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:43,910
approaches and communities, and whereas in 1970 the U.S. Congress recognized Asian Pacific

22
00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:50,170
American heritage week. In 1990 Congress passed a law expanding the observance to a

23
00:03:50,170 --> 00:03:57,830
month for that year. In 1992 Congress passed a law annually, designating May as Asian Pacific

24
00:03:57,830 --> 00:04:05,130
American Heritage Month. In 2009 President Barack Obama expanded the Asian Pacific American

25
00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:14,190
to include Pacific Islanders and issued his proclamation in honor of AAPI Heritage Month.

26
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:22,070
And, whereas the month that May was selected for AAPI Heritage Month, commemorate the immigration

27
00:04:22,070 --> 00:04:28,610
of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of

28
00:04:28,610 --> 00:04:36,670
completion of the Transcontinental Railroad on May 10, 1869 with substantial contributions from Chinese

29
00:04:36,670 --> 00:04:44,050
immigrants. And, whereas today, A.A.N.H.P.I. are the fastest growing racial group in the United

30
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:51,030
States. And, whereas A.A.N.H.P.I. have contributed significantly to many facets of American

31
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:56,690
culture, and society including science and medicine, literature and art, sports and

32
00:04:56,690 --> 00:05:00,390
recreation, government and politics, and activism.

33
00:05:02,050 --> 00:05:06,390
Now, therefore, I, Stacy Humanus, on behalf of Art Kiesel, Mayor and of the Zinny

34
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:13,490
Council, recognize May 2026 as Asian American, Native American and Pacific Islander

35
00:05:13,490 --> 00:05:18,450
Month, and encourage everyone to celebrate the cultural traditions and

36
00:05:18,450 --> 00:05:26,270
industry, native languages, and unique experiences represented by PAE and HPI, both across

37
00:05:26,270 --> 00:05:28,270
our country and infrastructure.

38
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:35,230
And so that we have a former council member, Steve Ockelmodo, and Michelle Draws, representing

39
00:05:35,230 --> 00:05:42,190
the Zurich Druse, representing team with the Amideo Gany API, Huckus and the San Mateo Gany

40
00:05:42,190 --> 00:05:43,570
API Foundation.

41
00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:44,790
Thank you.

42
00:05:54,620 --> 00:06:06,040
My name is Steve Okamoto, I am the President of the San Mateo County chapter of the

43
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:14,240
Japanese-American Citizens League, or the JACL. The JACL is going to be celebrating its

44
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:20,940
100th anniversary in two years, so we're really very proud of that fact.

45
00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:29,660
I also want to thank you for the Asian American, David Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Heritage

46
00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:30,720
Months of Proclamation.

47
00:06:31,580 --> 00:06:32,520
Thank you very much.

48
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:39,760
I also would like to introduce Michelle Trollos, G, along with Jeff G, co-founder of the

49
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,320
APX San Mateo County API competition.

50
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:46,500
Please leave.

51
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,340
Thank you.

52
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:47,860
Thank you.

53
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,040
Everyone for letting me be here and for that direction.

54
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:59,100
for something very important to us, but unlike the 100 years, the foundation is only about a year and a half years old.

55
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:06,350
It's the only API foundation in San Diego County, and I'm very proud of myself and Jeff D. is proud of that.

56
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:15,520
The origin of it was to actually create and continue a summer youth internship program that you recall.

57
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:34,280
I have, let's say, last July and about 15 of them attend a council member meeting and you're going to see them again in July because we try to teach the use the civic rules and engagement and letting go and put better place in custody council.

58
00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:41,960
So we will be listening again in July and we teach all the interns, professional skills, get out the vote.

59
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:48,620
what it means to be a cynic leader and just stating for their visit and we're going to be launching

60
00:07:48,620 --> 00:07:53,680
that June and which is thank you so much for this population. That's quite a lot, especially

61
00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:01,400
in my city. Hold down. Thank you. I just want to comment, Jeff Gee, the same Jeff Gee,

62
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:05,180
who has been a long term council reporter for my mayor for my visit.

63
00:09:25,580 --> 00:09:26,220
Next item,

64
00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:30,360
4.28 proclamation

65
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,480
recognizing May 2020, 6th as the Jewish American Heritage Month.

66
00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:42,020
Okay, if I can imagine the City of Foster City, you recognize in May 2020, 5th as

67
00:09:42,020 --> 00:09:48,500
Jewish American Heritage Month, whereas Jewish Americans have been an important part of

68
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:55,300
American story, an upgraded contributed in all areas of American life and culture, so it's

69
00:09:55,300 --> 00:10:03,140
nation's earliest days, and whereas on April 20, 2006, the federal government proclaimed

70
00:10:03,140 --> 00:10:11,340
May as Jewish American heritage, stating, as a nation of migrant immigrants, the United

71
00:10:11,340 --> 00:10:19,060
States, is better and stronger because Jewish people, from all over the world, have chosen

72
00:10:19,060 --> 00:10:26,480
to become American citizens. Since then, proclamations in support of Jewish American heritage

73
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,480
might have been made by presidents of the United States and the United States. To know

74
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:39,600
where as generations of Jewish generations of Jews have led to the United States in search

75
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:46,300
of a better life for themselves and their families, and these immigrants may invaluable contributions

76
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:52,700
in support of equality and civil rights through their leadership and chiefs.

77
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,340
And whereas Jewish Americans, whereas

78
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,160
Jewish Americans connect to their Jewish identity

79
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:09,920
in a variety of ways such as culturally, ethnically, religiously, and by following

80
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,580
Jewish ethics and values.

81
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:17,260
And whereas Jewish Americans are actually ethnically, socially, politically, and economically

82
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:18,040
diverse.

83
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:24,840
with approximately 2, 12 to 15 percent of Jews in the United States being individuals of

84
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:31,620
color. And in the Bay Area, around 25 percent of Bay Area Jewish households include a

85
00:11:31,620 --> 00:11:41,660
person of color and these increases to nearly 40 percent of households. If he had the

86
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:57,800
If the head of the household is younger than 25 and whereas in recent years, Jewish Americans have increasingly experimented anti-Semitism, including but not limited to physical attacks.

87
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:06,820
and the wisdom, verbal and physical harassment, hateful comments posted on social media and

88
00:12:06,820 --> 00:12:13,460
foster city shares in an application to start with the Jewish American media against

89
00:12:13,460 --> 00:12:14,640
shared in paper.

90
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:16,960
Here, hatred and bigadry.

91
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:23,800
Whereas there is a need for education and policies that are culturally competent when

92
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:30,740
describing or addressing the impacts of being Jewish in all aspects of Americans' society,

93
00:12:31,180 --> 00:12:37,140
including discourse and policy, and whereas we recognize Jewish American commitment

94
00:12:37,140 --> 00:12:41,860
to civic engagement, and how foster city has been enshrined

95
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,560
by Jewish, and by local Jewish

96
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:52,180
institutions, and synagogues such as a peninsula-surhanic congregation, the Ronald

97
00:12:52,180 --> 00:12:58,440
seeing a warm act, Jewish debate, school, and the financial and Jewish community sector.

98
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:04,020
Now, therefore, our case of mayor of Boston City on behalf of the rest of the City Council

99
00:13:04,020 --> 00:13:09,800
to hear by Rick and I have made 2026, the Jewish American Heritage Month, and encourage

100
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:15,560
everyone to celebrate the rich and diverse heritage of the Jewish American community, including

101
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:19,000
those who live, who work in play, and what's your city?

102
00:13:21,270 --> 00:13:22,510
We have

103
00:13:28,810 --> 00:13:31,990
been in the CIO of the P.J.C.C. of the American Mayor K-SILP.

104
00:13:32,170 --> 00:13:33,850
Vice Mayor Nader Hoffer of the City Council.

105
00:13:34,450 --> 00:13:36,470
We are very existence of the P.J.C.C.C.C.

106
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:38,850
here in Costa Rica is a direct result of this council.

107
00:13:39,650 --> 00:13:43,370
And the partnership that we have enjoyed with the city for the past 22 years.

108
00:13:43,810 --> 00:13:48,470
In fact, this May 8, we will be celebrating 22 years on this very site.

109
00:13:48,950 --> 00:13:54,810
We moved up from Belmont 22 years ago with the leadership and vision of folks sitting on this

110
00:13:54,810 --> 00:14:00,370
Council will say we need a community center in our community and work with us to make that happen.

111
00:14:00,890 --> 00:14:05,810
Since that time we have enjoyed a very close working relationship with this Council and with the city.

112
00:14:05,930 --> 00:14:09,970
Currently we serve over 10,000, foster city residents and you will be in our facility.

113
00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:12,610
I think that's more than any other business intent.

114
00:14:13,550 --> 00:14:24,790
We have a commitment to building community and I'm particularly proud to share this month with those in the

115
00:14:26,330 --> 00:14:33,490
I'm proud to work in a community where we step forward and say we're going to celebrate our differences.

116
00:14:34,250 --> 00:14:40,090
We're going to acknowledge that we're here to support each other, to strengthen community and be stronger from it.

117
00:14:40,170 --> 00:14:42,650
I thank you for this acknowledgement and appreciate and included.

118
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:48,600
Item 4.3, a proclamation declaring May 4th through May 8th, 2026 as public service recognition week.

119
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,660
Which will be read by Councilmember Sullivan.

120
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:59,980
Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor. Just a couple quick comments. Usually at the end of the council, we have comments from Council.

121
00:15:59,980 --> 00:16:06,480
And I use the end up with a line public service as the best work of the life and that comes from the J.C.

122
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,280
Anybody that was a J.C. would know what that means.

123
00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:15,620
I'm honored for a recognition for public service of the week.

124
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:21,980
And the couple, unfortunately, were doing some volunteer work and their names Kevin and

125
00:16:21,980 --> 00:16:28,460
the pastor, they live in Foster City, and they've been doing this project for probably several

126
00:16:28,460 --> 00:16:35,060
years, and they live on Port Royal, what they've decided on the pedway back there, is a

127
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:41,080
growth, drought, tolerant plants, a lot of cactus and stuff like that, and they've encouraged

128
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:46,660
their neighbors, they will go down there and plan it, take the time for me, and deliver it.

129
00:16:46,660 --> 00:17:00,040
Right now, we also have a result of a park person that worked Nash, Roder, who worked with the castors and getting leaves to take it over to Baywins Park.

130
00:17:00,380 --> 00:17:05,960
If you look at Baywins Park, you'll see that you'll see that stuff there.

131
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:14,040
So, recognizing May 3rd through 9th on 2026 as Public Service Recognition Week,

132
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:20,140
We're as public service recognition week is an opportunity to pause and recognize the

133
00:17:20,140 --> 00:17:24,940
roles of those dedication themselves to improving our community.

134
00:17:25,660 --> 00:17:31,420
We're as public service helps support the general public's equality of life by supplementing

135
00:17:31,420 --> 00:17:33,180
essential city services.

136
00:17:33,940 --> 00:17:40,340
And we're as from generosity of volunteering their time, donating resources of sharing their

137
00:17:40,340 --> 00:17:41,920
skills and knowledge.

138
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,920
The dedication of public service providers touches nearly every part of the daily lives.

139
00:17:48,540 --> 00:17:54,740
And whereas public service is a noble and selfless form of contribution from individuals

140
00:17:54,740 --> 00:18:02,160
and organizations seeking to better their local community by the advancement of common good.

141
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,780
And whereas these charitable public service efforts are crucial to cultivating and

142
00:18:07,780 --> 00:18:14,700
driving diverse and unique community and where I ask by the City of Foster City wants to recognize

143
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:20,980
and honor those providing a public service and enhanced our society and acknowledge their

144
00:18:20,980 --> 00:18:23,380
own continuing to make Foster City.

145
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,180
A great place to live work and play.

146
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:32,240
Now, therefore, I art case will remain the City of Foster City on behalf of the City Council.

147
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:39,560
So, do here by designate this week, May 3rd through the 9th, 2026, this public surface recognition

148
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:45,960

149
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,380

150
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:47,740
Thank you.

151
00:18:48,060 --> 00:18:52,980
And I will make sure that the casters get the proclamation, and I just let's get them around

152
00:18:52,980 --> 00:18:53,680
a little closer.

153
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:02,560
Thank you.

154
00:19:03,340 --> 00:19:03,920
Got it.

155
00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:04,380
Okay.

156
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:05,540
Next item.

157
00:19:06,340 --> 00:19:06,980
Any comments?

158
00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:11,440
Then, okay, Patrick made him for us, I think.

159
00:19:12,420 --> 00:19:12,940
Next item?

160
00:19:13,060 --> 00:19:18,980
Item 4.4, a proclamation declaring the week of May 10th through 16th.

161
00:19:19,540 --> 00:19:27,660
That will be a 26th as National Police Week and May 15th, 2026 as Peace Officers Memorial Day.

162
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,940
And that proclamation will be read by Vice-Mayors.

163
00:19:31,620 --> 00:19:32,680
Thank you.

164
00:19:34,060 --> 00:19:39,940
So, the Proclamation for a national police week of May 10 through 16th,

165
00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:48,660
2026, and peace officers, Memorial Day, May 15th, 2026, whereas the Congress and President

166
00:19:48,660 --> 00:19:54,540
of the United States had designated May 15th as peace officers Memorial Day, and the

167
00:19:54,540 --> 00:19:58,180
week of which it falls as National Police Week.

168
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,840
And whereas the members of the Foster City Police Department play an essential role in

169
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,660
safeguarding the rights and freedoms of the citizens of Foster City.

170
00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:14,640
And whereas it is important that all residents know and understand the problems, duties,

171
00:20:15,140 --> 00:20:20,080
and responsibilities of their police department, and that members of our police department

172
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:25,980
recognize their duty to serve the people by safeguarding life and property by protecting

173
00:20:25,980 --> 00:20:32,220
them against violence or disorder by protecting the innocent against deception and the

174
00:20:32,220 --> 00:20:35,060
against oppression or intimidation.

175
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,280
And whereas the Foster City Police Department has grown to be a progressive law enforcement agency,

176
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,540
which uncesely provides a vital public service.

177
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:54,860
And whereas in 2025, the Foster City Police Department received 26,514 calls for service.

178
00:20:54,860 --> 00:21:07,460
and handled 26,461 incidents, made 473 arrests and saw a combined 41% decrease in violent and property crimes.

179
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:15,760
And now, therefore, I, Susie Niederhofer, on behalf of Mayor Art Kiesel and the rest of City Council,

180
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:22,980
Call upon all residents of Foster City and upon all patriotic, civic, and educational organizations

181
00:21:22,980 --> 00:21:29,360
to observe the week of May 10th through 16th, 2026 as National Police Week.

182
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,420
With appropriate recognition commemorating police officers, past and present, who by their

183
00:21:35,420 --> 00:21:40,580
faithful and loyal devotion to their responsibilities have rendered a dedicated service

184
00:21:40,580 --> 00:21:46,460
to their communities and in doing so have established for themselves an enviable and enduring

185
00:21:46,460 --> 00:21:51,160
reputation for preserving the rights and security of all citizens.

186
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:58,780
I further call upon the Foster City community to observe Thursday, May 15th, 2026 as

187
00:21:58,780 --> 00:22:01,100
peace officers Memorial Day.

188
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:06,420
An honor of those peace officers who through their courageous deeds have lost their lives

189
00:22:06,420 --> 00:22:09,260
or have become disabled in the performance of duty.

190
00:22:09,740 --> 00:22:17,020
And I believe we have a few police, Foster City Police here, Sergeant Fan, Corporal Butler,

191
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:21,080
Officer Kromosini.

192
00:22:21,180 --> 00:22:22,280
Did I say that right?

193
00:22:23,180 --> 00:22:25,580
Officer Mai and Officer Mai, man.

194
00:22:26,460 --> 00:22:27,520
Do you want to come forward?

195
00:22:41,730 --> 00:22:43,230
First off, thank you guys.

196
00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:46,470
I've been here too many times, so I'm going to keep it pretty short.

197
00:22:47,630 --> 00:22:49,290
I want to thank everyone for being here.

198
00:22:49,290 --> 00:22:55,570
And also I want to thank the community for your continued love support and trust in our police department.

199
00:22:56,130 --> 00:23:02,610
As we continue to serve and protect and provide excellent service, every contact, every call every day.

200
00:23:02,970 --> 00:23:04,110
So we thank you guys.

201
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:51,740
Good.

202
00:24:33,010 --> 00:24:34,190
Boy, similar for officers.

203
00:24:34,650 --> 00:24:36,810
Getting looking younger and younger every year.

204
00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:39,840
Next item.

205
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,100
Item five public.

206
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:47,020
This is an opportunity for members of the public to speak on items not listed on the agenda.

207
00:24:47,020 --> 00:24:56,220
Anyone who wants to provide public comment in person, fill out a yellow speaker slip and hand it to me, anyone who wants to provide public comment on Zoom, raise your hand during this time.

208
00:24:56,620 --> 00:25:00,160
We'll take in person's speakers first followed by those on Zoom.

209
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:05,020
And so in person, we do have a speaker slip for Mahir Burari.

210
00:25:16,430 --> 00:25:21,910
Here and Council members. First of all, thank you so much for taking out the time to hear my project for our community.

211
00:25:21,910 --> 00:25:27,070
I am a herberari, a 15-year-old freshman at Design Tech High School, and I have lived in

212
00:25:27,070 --> 00:25:28,930
Fossure City for the past seven years.

213
00:25:29,330 --> 00:25:33,710
I wanted to share with you all, and the Fossure City community, a web app that I have created

214
00:25:33,710 --> 00:25:34,350
called Local.

215
00:25:35,050 --> 00:25:35,930
Now what is Local?

216
00:25:36,930 --> 00:25:41,770
Local is a free platform for verified teams to showcase your skills, such as babysitting, tutoring,

217
00:25:42,090 --> 00:25:47,590
tech help, and more, set their rate and timings, and build their profile to help out

218
00:25:47,590 --> 00:25:48,630
their local neighbourhood.

219
00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:55,530
Local is also placed for neighbors to find trusted neighborhood help, building community connections and engagements.

220
00:25:56,650 --> 00:26:02,410
One different, one differentiating factor of local is that both the teens and neighbors on the app are fully verified

221
00:26:02,410 --> 00:26:06,810
with ID checks and interviews completed by myself and our local team.

222
00:26:07,610 --> 00:26:13,030
Local addresses are real need in our communities as families are looking for trustworthy help with tech support,

223
00:26:13,030 --> 00:26:19,470
senior assistants such as tech help and support household tasks, tutoring, babysitting, and so much more.

224
00:26:19,790 --> 00:26:25,270
I created local solely for the purpose of helping my community and teenagers and it is completely free.

225
00:26:25,790 --> 00:26:32,050
My vision is to create a trusted community where foster city residents like myself and eventually Bay Area

226
00:26:32,050 --> 00:26:37,350
genuinely help each other where teams can earn money and build meaningful work experiences for college

227
00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:42,750
and where families have access to reliable verified local support right in their neighborhood.

228
00:26:43,270 --> 00:26:51,870
I would greatly appreciate your support and encouragement into making local household name, as well as spreading the word about local as we build this initiative for foster city.

229
00:26:52,490 --> 00:26:55,750
I would happily like to answer any questions and thank you so much.

230
00:27:04,780 --> 00:27:09,160
So, can you find your app on the on the app store or how do you get it?

231
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,740
So, it's a web app and the website is called localteens.net and it's like marketed publicly.

232
00:27:14,740 --> 00:27:19,300
I think I saw you on next door, are you on next door already?

233
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,440
No, but we're going to be posting on it.

234
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:22,860
Okay.

235
00:27:24,260 --> 00:27:24,660
Good luck.

236
00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:25,660
Thank you.

237
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,400
Thanks, Mayor.

238
00:27:26,580 --> 00:27:33,340
I think this is fantastic that you saw a challenge and you created an opportunity to combine your

239
00:27:33,340 --> 00:27:35,760
technology, but also your care for the community.

240
00:27:35,900 --> 00:27:38,680
And I love that you also included senior tech out.

241
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,080
That's something that is really rapidly expanding as the senior population grows.

242
00:27:42,180 --> 00:27:42,940
Thank you so much.

243
00:27:42,940 --> 00:27:50,440
best of luck with your app. Thank you so much. Okay. Thank you.

244
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,420
We do not have any more public

245
00:27:54,420 --> 00:28:01,740
comment. Okay, next item. Item 6 City Emed consent calendar all matters listed under consent

246
00:28:01,740 --> 00:28:06,440
are considered to be retained by the City Council and Board of Directors and will be enacted

247
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:12,460
by one motion unless or removed by a member of the council board staff or public. Anyone who wants

248
00:28:12,460 --> 00:28:16,540
to provide public comment. Please provide a speaker slip or raise your hand on Zoom.

249
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,180
Okay, does anybody want to pull any

250
00:28:23,510 --> 00:28:27,150
scene? You do? Oh, I'm sorry. What do you mean number?

251
00:28:27,730 --> 00:28:32,150
Uh, Mayor Kiesel. I'd like to pull item 6.3 the crossing school crossing guard agreement.

252
00:28:34,590 --> 00:28:35,610
That's it.

253
00:28:38,260 --> 00:28:42,580
Okay. I'm looking for public comment on the remainder of the Senate consent calendar.

254
00:28:44,460 --> 00:28:45,220
There is none.

255
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:46,840
Okay.

256
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:49,340
I'm looking for a motion.

257
00:28:50,100 --> 00:29:00,000
I'll make a motion to approve the remaining items on the consent calendar 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 6.5 and 6.6.

258
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,020
I'll second.

259
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,000
Okay, I have a motion in second.

260
00:29:03,140 --> 00:29:04,320
All those in favor say aye.

261
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:05,880
Opposed.

262
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,640
Thank you.

263
00:29:08,540 --> 00:29:10,340
Now let's go to 6.3.

264
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,040
Welcome to.

265
00:29:29,620 --> 00:29:30,000
Good evening.

266
00:29:30,260 --> 00:29:31,060
Any questions?

267
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:35,380
I think you want to take public comment after I take care of the state.

268
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:43,220
Yeah, I just wanted to lift up this item just because I had some questions on it and

269
00:29:43,220 --> 00:29:48,580
I believe maybe some other council members did too and thank you Chief Call for addressing

270
00:29:48,580 --> 00:29:49,300
some of the questions.

271
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,840
The ones you could, I know that there wasn't always a chance to get some of the data, especially

272
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,300
in the short amount of time.

273
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:59,840
So one of the questions I'd ask was around the funding level for

274
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,220
I know it's a shared cost between foster city and the K-38 school district. For our share, it's

275
00:30:06,220 --> 00:30:12,980
remained at $21,600 since fiscal year 2009.

276
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,780
At least that might be accurate. I'm not sure of the exact year when that shifted to $21,000.

277
00:30:20,140 --> 00:30:28,860
I was curious to know if the school district, if they've increased their percentage, like I am going

278
00:30:28,860 --> 00:30:35,860
I guess that labor costs have gone up and continue to go up, so I mean this is a great deal.

279
00:30:36,060 --> 00:30:39,860
We're getting that we haven't had to pay more than the share that we've been paying,

280
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:47,320
so I was just curious what has changed on their end if at all, or these fees.

281
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,140
But what were paying the school crossing guards have just remained flat since then?

282
00:30:54,060 --> 00:31:01,860
I can't speak for the school district as far as the fluctuation in any cost, maybe a safe assumption,

283
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,260
as far as rates going up.

284
00:31:05,380 --> 00:31:07,580
But that information is not shared with us.

285
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,000
However, I'd be happy to try to get that information and pass it on to you.

286
00:31:11,260 --> 00:31:12,240
Okay, thank you.

287
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,040
Let's see.

288
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:23,080
I had asked about how are the crossing guards, performance, assess, I understand they're working

289
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:29,000
one to two hours a day, mats, don't expect them to have 360 reviews and things like that,

290
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,820
but how do people decide who gets retained, who gets let go, and I know that's something

291
00:31:34,820 --> 00:31:40,360
that we're not aware of on the city side, so if the school can get a state, I think, I don't

292
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,360
want to have to go through all the questions because I don't want to put you on the spot

293
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,200
because I think a lot of these, we just don't have data around.

294
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:54,080
I'd love to know, like, according to the crossing guards themselves or school representatives

295
00:31:54,080 --> 00:32:00,580
where they feel like there's areas that are not well-covered, right, to have that kind

296
00:32:00,580 --> 00:32:06,160
of feedback even if it's just anecdotal that will help me understand, like, do we need to

297
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:15,120
up our amount of school guards and do we as the count city need to up the amount that we pay

298
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,040
into this agreement.

299
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,800
If they make a request, we would consider it along with any other supporting information

300
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:29,300
that they would provide to us, however that request hasn't come for quite some time, and

301
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:32,480
as far as I'm happy to review any of the information that I've supplied earlier.

302
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:38,560
The separation is their employees of the school district, and we're just contributing funds

303
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:46,680
towards those salaries, but again I'm happy to facilitate or get any information I can

304
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,320
to help understand this better.

305
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:54,060
Okay, thank you, Chief, because I do want to support this going forward and keep the partnership,

306
00:32:54,580 --> 00:33:00,460
but I want to also be able to ratchet up the support if it's needed.

307
00:33:00,460 --> 00:33:06,780
so I guess for me it's unclear whether at this level it's good as is or we need to invest

308
00:33:06,780 --> 00:33:12,620
either more funds or resources. I understand there's also volunteers that also work as

309
00:33:12,620 --> 00:33:19,140
crossing guard so you know how is that all folded into this so any additional information from

310
00:33:19,140 --> 00:33:27,960
either you are in the school district would be helpful okay thank you. So I just wanted to address

311
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:33,920
And the packet is said that the school district reaches out to parents and asked for donations and they're going to do it again this year.

312
00:33:34,060 --> 00:33:36,900
So that might be one of the ways that they get additional funding.

313
00:33:37,620 --> 00:33:40,100
So I decided to bring that. Yeah.

314
00:33:40,740 --> 00:33:44,940
And I also know that there's currently quite a few vacancies and it's a hard job to fill.

315
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,680
So that may be part of my work.

316
00:33:48,340 --> 00:33:53,920
I just want to thank the chief for trying to answer those questions for Councilman Phoebe.

317
00:33:53,920 --> 00:34:05,950
And I also greatly appreciate the questions because we all are concerned about that and I think that's up to the school district to push our change, so to speak if we need to step up to the plate more. Thank you.

318
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,120
Okay, thank you. Any more?

319
00:34:10,740 --> 00:34:11,980
Okay, public timing.

320
00:34:13,660 --> 00:34:15,040
You don't have any.

321
00:34:15,340 --> 00:34:17,780
Okay, that I'm looking for motion.

322
00:34:19,060 --> 00:34:21,940
I'll make a motion to approve consent item 6.3.

323
00:34:21,940 --> 00:34:27,460
Second. I have a motion in a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed.

324
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:37,300
I want to support this, but would I would be able to bring back this item after we get some of the information from the school district?

325
00:34:37,860 --> 00:34:43,500
Or is this what you thought? Well, we've already, well, we've already approved with this motion.

326
00:34:44,820 --> 00:34:50,640
this item. Okay. Now you want to bring it back. We might talk to the city manager and say,

327
00:34:51,020 --> 00:34:56,180
well, in fact, what I suggest is you go talk to the school board. I go talk to school

328
00:34:56,180 --> 00:35:01,900
board. You go talk to the school board. Okay. And then get some information. So I'll make

329
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:08,200
all that all that works. Then come back and talk to the city manager if it's appropriate

330
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:15,460
to do so. Mayor, if I may. So I think what Councilmember Venkit is asking is, is that she

331
00:35:15,460 --> 00:35:21,580
fails that the vote was premature. So she feels that there maybe could have been a motion

332
00:35:21,580 --> 00:35:27,360
to continue the item prior to the motion to approve the item, so that she could get more information

333
00:35:28,420 --> 00:35:35,700
from the chief on what she was asking about. So one option for Council members who supported

334
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:41,100
the motion would be for a motion to reconsider the item if Council.

335
00:35:41,140 --> 00:35:44,480
Well, you have to reconsider the item before you.

336
00:35:44,820 --> 00:35:45,600
All right, all right.

337
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,840
So those Council members that voted in favor could make a motion for reconsideration

338
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,180
to bring the item back forward to the Council.

339
00:35:53,780 --> 00:35:55,680
Once it's before the Council again,

340
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,900
then there could be a consideration of a motion to continue the item to table it.

341
00:36:01,900 --> 00:36:06,940
So this poses another question, right?

342
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:14,580
If it takes long enough, when does the funds get paid to the school district?

343
00:36:17,190 --> 00:36:19,890
I'm just saying it based on their reimbursement.

344
00:36:20,510 --> 00:36:26,310
So this school district comes to us once they've expanded the funds and we reimburse them.

345
00:36:26,370 --> 00:36:33,750
So I don't think it's like, yeah, so my concept of this is it may take some time before they even get the

346
00:36:33,750 --> 00:36:41,370
these phones. My suggestion is that we can come back with another item if it wants to increase.

347
00:36:41,610 --> 00:36:44,430
Let me just make that as a assumption here.

348
00:36:44,710 --> 00:36:48,790
And under the contract we can, if they, if they, if they want to add locations or

349
00:36:49,570 --> 00:36:50,890
you want to add something to it.

350
00:36:50,890 --> 00:36:56,490
They can, we can, we can, we can do that or they can do that. So I would say it's moved forward.

351
00:36:56,570 --> 00:37:01,710
And if there's an appetite on behalf of the school district, I mean they should have done it

352
00:37:01,710 --> 00:37:05,730
and they presented the contract renewal to us, but.

353
00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:09,710
But there's a leg work that needs to be done with the school district.

354
00:37:09,950 --> 00:37:19,430
Okay, this one, two, is there going to be a recommendation to go and we, you can bring that forward for the difference for the Delta in the amounts.

355
00:37:20,690 --> 00:37:23,130
So the school district, let me just ask a clarifying question.

356
00:37:23,350 --> 00:37:27,390
A school district approaches and said, it's time to renew this.

357
00:37:27,430 --> 00:37:27,650
Right.

358
00:37:27,650 --> 00:37:36,950
We went ahead and put this on consent calendar in between that time was anyone asking for any

359
00:37:36,950 --> 00:37:40,870
Data or anything or that's how I feel like I'm

360
00:37:40,870 --> 00:37:42,290
I'm asking for something that's like not

361
00:37:43,290 --> 00:37:49,630
Is this how long as I can recall yeah, there's that there were a question has been I think made

362
00:37:49,630 --> 00:37:56,410
I don't know that it really has it just been renewed every year sure and I want to really but I want to know understand

363
00:37:56,410 --> 00:38:00,610
And what's worth good while, what hasn't worked as well, where we need to invest.

364
00:38:00,670 --> 00:38:05,670
I'm not saying we would know tonight, but normally I would want to know these things before

365
00:38:05,670 --> 00:38:06,510
I'm asked to.

366
00:38:06,530 --> 00:38:06,910
I agree.

367
00:38:07,010 --> 00:38:11,570
And I understand that I think you might be able to find most of that out from the school district.

368
00:38:11,810 --> 00:38:12,210
Okay.

369
00:38:12,650 --> 00:38:13,250
Not from people.

370
00:38:13,250 --> 00:38:15,310
So that's for me to go find that out.

371
00:38:15,590 --> 00:38:16,090
Well, I'll be honest.

372
00:38:16,490 --> 00:38:16,950
I'll be honest.

373
00:38:18,690 --> 00:38:19,450
I don't want to hate that.

374
00:38:19,450 --> 00:38:20,870
Put that on staff.

375
00:38:21,530 --> 00:38:21,870
I mean, yeah.

376
00:38:21,870 --> 00:38:29,470
This is a school program, as you all know, and they make the requests and if they request

377
00:38:29,470 --> 00:38:34,530
more money, then we bring that to the council with whatever justification there is for

378
00:38:34,530 --> 00:38:35,210
that.

379
00:38:35,290 --> 00:38:42,430
This has been what they've asked for every year, and we've paid as far as how they manage the

380
00:38:42,430 --> 00:38:42,930
program.

381
00:38:43,350 --> 00:38:47,210
We don't have a whole lot of information or say in that.

382
00:38:47,210 --> 00:38:54,110
we can certainly inquire, and I understand the desire to kind of understand, to know, you know,

383
00:38:54,150 --> 00:38:59,450
what are they doing here, how is it working, because we are investing in some of that,

384
00:38:59,450 --> 00:39:06,270
and there may be an appetite to invest a little bit more. I think there is a challenge I have

385
00:39:06,270 --> 00:39:09,350
heard in filling some of those positions.

386
00:39:11,810 --> 00:39:15,910
They struggle sometimes to get crossing guards to do

387
00:39:15,910 --> 00:39:17,130
that particular job.

388
00:39:18,050 --> 00:39:22,490
So all of those things, I would suggest that if the council

389
00:39:22,490 --> 00:39:24,030
would like some additional information,

390
00:39:24,350 --> 00:39:26,790
then we can certainly reach out to the school district

391
00:39:26,790 --> 00:39:30,690
and see if they would come and provide that information

392
00:39:30,690 --> 00:39:33,970
to the council or you might be able to just talk

393
00:39:33,970 --> 00:39:35,690
to a member of the school board or the district

394
00:39:35,690 --> 00:39:38,410
and get that information yourself, if you'd like.

395
00:39:39,530 --> 00:39:45,430
But for me, for myself, I guess I'm just

396
00:39:45,430 --> 00:39:48,010
to approve it, or I, okay.

397
00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:49,770
That's up to the council.

398
00:39:49,770 --> 00:39:51,610
I can't tell you whether to approve it or not.

399
00:39:51,710 --> 00:39:52,770
Okay, but that's up to you guys.

400
00:39:52,810 --> 00:39:55,350
And to be clear, the council has voted on it.

401
00:39:55,530 --> 00:39:58,970
So we have four council members who voted, yes.

402
00:39:59,450 --> 00:40:01,530
Council member, Vanket, I didn't hear your vote.

403
00:40:01,590 --> 00:40:03,030
Right, because I wanted to understand

404
00:40:03,030 --> 00:40:04,050
what I was voting on.

405
00:40:04,050 --> 00:40:04,330
Right.

406
00:40:05,310 --> 00:40:08,630
So the option you laid out was that I can vote, yes,

407
00:40:08,750 --> 00:40:12,590
and then ask if we can bring this back

408
00:40:12,590 --> 00:40:15,190
after we get more data within a reasonable amount of time.

409
00:40:15,190 --> 00:40:18,750
I guess where I'm going is, what do you want me to bring back?

410
00:40:19,310 --> 00:40:21,310
It's a school district program.

411
00:40:23,710 --> 00:40:32,350
If you would like to get the council to direct the staff to go out

412
00:40:32,350 --> 00:40:32,830
and research.

413
00:40:32,830 --> 00:40:35,410
No, obviously, I do think that's the fact that we can do that.

414
00:40:35,410 --> 00:40:35,570
Yeah.

415
00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:37,190
No, it's OK.

416
00:40:38,110 --> 00:40:39,390
Yeah, whatever your thought is.

417
00:40:40,690 --> 00:40:41,410
I'm not sure.

418
00:40:41,950 --> 00:40:44,090
So I can't vote yes on something.

419
00:40:44,090 --> 00:40:48,130
I don't feel like I have enough information on, okay, and I know that sounds wild.

420
00:40:48,410 --> 00:40:49,190
I mean, you're voting over a minute.

421
00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:51,330
So I'm not saying anything, yeah, thank you.

422
00:40:51,590 --> 00:40:55,350
So we have a 401 board.

423
00:40:55,530 --> 00:40:56,310
Back to date.

424
00:40:56,570 --> 00:40:58,630
I find out to become some staff.

425
00:40:58,930 --> 00:41:03,670
You bring it back to, because you want to, you're going to bring it up.

426
00:41:03,970 --> 00:41:06,350
No, I know, let's go through an assumption here, okay.

427
00:41:06,970 --> 00:41:12,130
Let's assume for the moment you want to raise the, let's amend it on there.

428
00:41:12,130 --> 00:41:14,030
Well, my understanding is, I think.

429
00:41:14,030 --> 00:41:16,030
You want to raise it another 5,000.

430
00:41:16,550 --> 00:41:18,850
Let's just say for the sake of a discussion.

431
00:41:20,450 --> 00:41:25,090
You would bring that back and talk to Stephen about getting it.

432
00:41:25,090 --> 00:41:29,470
And it genders the item to increase it by having an additional 5,000.

433
00:41:29,810 --> 00:41:32,470
That would be a new agenda item.

434
00:41:32,490 --> 00:41:32,650
Yeah.

435
00:41:33,330 --> 00:41:33,470
Okay.

436
00:41:34,230 --> 00:41:36,010
And which we would vote on.

437
00:41:36,270 --> 00:41:38,010
And that's how you would get.

438
00:41:38,010 --> 00:41:45,850
And we assume we'd say, give you a 50 vote on that particular item, then you've accomplished

439
00:41:46,610 --> 00:41:47,530
your mission.

440
00:41:48,190 --> 00:41:52,290
So if I also vote for this and say, this is fine to pass tonight, and then I'll go

441
00:41:52,290 --> 00:41:53,030
gather it in the night.

442
00:41:53,030 --> 00:41:53,990
It doesn't, yeah.

443
00:41:54,270 --> 00:42:00,190
If you vote, yes, or no, tonight, it doesn't negate what you bring forward in the future.

444
00:42:01,250 --> 00:42:02,250
So, sorry.

445
00:42:02,690 --> 00:42:06,550
So, I'll vote to support this, and I will go and find out, see if I can find any more

446
00:42:06,550 --> 00:42:06,850
data.

447
00:42:06,850 --> 00:42:14,230
If not, then it rusts, and machinery takes place, so we have been, okay, thanks.

448
00:42:15,310 --> 00:42:18,470
The Bob basically is in a school district's court as far as I'm concerned.

449
00:42:19,210 --> 00:42:20,910
Yeah, so what do they want to do with it?

450
00:42:20,990 --> 00:42:22,290
But yeah, I see, I see your concern.

451
00:42:23,090 --> 00:42:24,990
Usually you contact, I don't know, yeah.

452
00:42:26,070 --> 00:42:30,650
Okay, so we're good with the 50, okay.

453
00:42:31,850 --> 00:42:32,410
Next item.

454
00:42:33,370 --> 00:42:38,930
Item 7 reports 7.1 update on the utility box art program.

455
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,960
Good evening, Mayor and members of the City Council.

456
00:42:50,140 --> 00:42:51,100
My name is Tiffany Orrin.

457
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,700
I'm the Recreation Manager for the Parks and Recreation Department.

458
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,920
Today I'm here to provide an overview of the utility box art program and seek your

459
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,120
direction in Neckon Next Steps.

460
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:06,800
I'll start with a quick overview of the pilot, walk through key outcomes, highlight a few

461
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,680
take away and then wrap up with next steps in questions for council direction.

462
00:43:15,110 --> 00:43:19,570
Program development started in 2023 and as a as a way to brighten up some of our

463
00:43:19,570 --> 00:43:25,090
everyday infrastructures while also helping to turn vandalism and partnership with the police department.

464
00:43:25,950 --> 00:43:30,650
We put a call out to local artists when through a selection process and completely

465
00:43:30,650 --> 00:43:36,610
ultimately completed four utility boxes using a mix of painted and vinyl designs.

466
00:43:37,990 --> 00:43:42,810
I'll take a moment to show the four boxes that were completed through the pilots.

467
00:43:45,450 --> 00:43:49,970
These reflect a mix of local artists, including students, residents, and you'll also see

468
00:43:49,970 --> 00:43:51,570
a mix of painted and vinyl applications.

469
00:43:52,570 --> 00:43:56,990
As the four selected artists, there are three our foster city residents, one works in

470
00:43:56,990 --> 00:43:59,250
foster city, and two of the four were students.

471
00:44:00,330 --> 00:44:03,570
This application here on Focity Boulevard is a vinyl application.

472
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:12,780
This one on East Hillsdale is a hand-painted application,

473
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,180
one located on Metro Center Boulevard

474
00:44:18,180 --> 00:44:26,060
is vinyl application and the final one Port Royal is painted.

475
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,940
Overall, the pilot showed strong community value.

476
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:42,440
We had solid interest from local artists with 15 artists submitting 23 unique designs.

477
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:47,440
We also received positive feedback from the community and you can feel you can see the immediate

478
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,200
improvement in how these spaces look and feel.

479
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,480
While still early in these types of programs are known to help reduce vandalism which aligns with the

480
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:56,880
original intent of the program.

481
00:44:57,620 --> 00:44:59,840
Overall for a relatively small program.

482
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,460
We saw a noticeable impact.

483
00:45:05,270 --> 00:45:09,970
Few takeaways from our pilot, painted boxes were most cost effective,

484
00:45:10,310 --> 00:45:15,230
where all vinyl wraps allowed for faster inflation and moving forward would be more intentional

485
00:45:15,230 --> 00:45:21,030
in selecting the application method. Overall, the program that's manageable and can be expanded.

486
00:45:24,700 --> 00:45:29,620
Looking ahead, there are a few opportunities to build on this pilot. That includes expanding

487
00:45:29,620 --> 00:45:35,320
to additional locations, refining site selection on the process, exploring potential sponsorships

488
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,720
to help offset costs.

489
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,020
Any expansion would be done in a phase and manageable way.

490
00:45:44,060 --> 00:45:47,720
In terms of cost, the estimated annual investment

491
00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:51,280
is about $13,700 based on the current pricing.

492
00:45:52,180 --> 00:45:53,760
And any future funding would be considered

493
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,180
through the budget process.

494
00:46:00,660 --> 00:46:02,560
So with that, we're looking for council direction

495
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,480
on continuing and expanding the program,

496
00:46:05,900 --> 00:46:08,360
the proposed funding approach for the next two fiscal years,

497
00:46:08,460 --> 00:46:10,900
including the use of the community benefit fund,

498
00:46:10,900 --> 00:46:16,480
Any feedback to help refine the program and we're happy to hear to answer any questions you may have as well

499
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:18,360
Question?

500
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,940
No, all of us have comments at the end. Okay.

501
00:46:22,460 --> 00:46:22,620
C.V.

502
00:46:23,060 --> 00:46:23,580
Questions?

503
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:26,560
Susie?

504
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:32,320
The painted versus vinyl. I know it's been not a very long time, but is one more

505
00:46:34,420 --> 00:46:38,160
better at wearing than the other or you haven't or not in the time yet.

506
00:46:39,060 --> 00:46:44,000
Right now, for both applications, we do put an anti-graphy D coat afterwards, and it's still

507
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:49,260
little too early to make it another way, but that's something we'll be definitely watching

508
00:46:49,260 --> 00:46:50,060
for.

509
00:46:50,300 --> 00:46:50,600
Moving forward.

510
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:51,560
Okay, great.

511
00:46:52,020 --> 00:46:57,900
And then the 13,700, I'm just trying to find it, because I wanted to, so that's for how

512
00:46:57,900 --> 00:46:58,440
many boxes.

513
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,820
That's for, for, great.

514
00:47:01,420 --> 00:47:02,120
Thank you.

515
00:47:04,180 --> 00:47:08,960
So just carry out at a curiosity and I know I think asked this last time.

516
00:47:09,380 --> 00:47:13,660
What's the difference between wanting to hand paint some boxes and wanting to vinyl

517
00:47:13,660 --> 00:47:14,220
wrap others?

518
00:47:16,750 --> 00:47:22,810
So in the pilot program we let artists decide which application and moving forward I think

519
00:47:22,810 --> 00:47:29,850
for us a staff we would help to help guide that decision based on some artwork or better for

520
00:47:29,850 --> 00:47:34,270
and some are just for vital wrap, and I think we would play a bigger role in that and

521
00:47:34,270 --> 00:47:37,210
guiding them to make sure what makes sense for each location and design.

522
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:51,720
When you said four boxes, is that four more and how many in total do we have and would we still

523
00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:56,280
have more that are available to be decorated, so to speak?

524
00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:02,380
We have four currently that are applied and then the pilot every year we have the

525
00:48:02,380 --> 00:48:05,340
budget would be for additional four.

526
00:48:05,540 --> 00:48:09,540
And you have identified any more than those eight.

527
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,220
Other locations do you mean?

528
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,300
There would be we had part of the pilot program with assistance with police department.

529
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,500
They provide a list of recommended boxes.

530
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,960
And so one part of our project would be moving forward is make sure you're

531
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:28,380
an inventory list of all the city owned utility boxes and then working with police

532
00:48:28,380 --> 00:48:30,980
department to see which boxes would be the most had the most impact.

533
00:48:31,300 --> 00:48:33,580
Do you have an idea how many there are on total?

534
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,620
Mayor Kiesel, I think I could answer the question.

535
00:48:35,700 --> 00:48:40,720
If I recall from the reports there really report there was something like 20 plus 20

536
00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:46,260
to 30 utility boxes that we know that we can city owned, we can access them.

537
00:48:46,700 --> 00:48:53,000
We also have a number of lift stations throughout the city that are actually held in most

538
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:59,340
of our parks. We've actually had residents inquire about that in order to beautify some of

539
00:48:59,340 --> 00:49:04,780
our parks. So we have lots of potential growth. We can go as far as you want the Council

540
00:49:04,780 --> 00:49:08,420
directs on this, but that was the purpose of the pilot, just to see if there was a great

541
00:49:08,420 --> 00:49:09,020
enough interest.

542
00:49:09,780 --> 00:49:16,140
Yeah, I'd just like to see how big this potential is. And the other question is,

543
00:49:18,490 --> 00:49:19,010
is there

544
00:49:19,010 --> 00:49:28,650
Any thought, but given to people becoming desensitized to it, it's there, it's a golden

545
00:49:28,650 --> 00:49:35,710
gate bridge in the San Francisco people, they walked across it and then it's there.

546
00:49:36,990 --> 00:49:40,590
We become desensitized to it.

547
00:49:41,590 --> 00:49:51,710
I'm not sure, at this point, we've just heard feedback on the positive side, I really

548
00:49:51,710 --> 00:49:54,210
couldn't say whether or not anybody else done this.

549
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:57,970
Yes, I mean, this is a very popular program up and down the peninsula.

550
00:49:58,190 --> 00:50:02,150
In fact, many, much of our program is modeled after a number of other cities.

551
00:50:02,250 --> 00:50:09,110
Belmont, our neat and nearest neighbor, has a very robust program that they have similar to this.

552
00:50:09,110 --> 00:50:13,950
have they done, how long has it been in existence? What's the longest one that's been in existence?

553
00:50:15,070 --> 00:50:18,390
Or do you? Yeah, unfortunately we don't have that information off the top of our head.

554
00:50:19,050 --> 00:50:26,550
Okay, and could you elaborate a little bit more on the, over the last paragraph, it said,

555
00:50:26,830 --> 00:50:36,730
staff will explore the potential sponsorship or partnership opportunities? Could you elaborate on what that means?

556
00:50:37,550 --> 00:50:42,810
Yeah, similar to our other sponsorship programs we would create a program and come back to

557
00:50:42,810 --> 00:50:47,570
Council to make sure it falls with the fundraising plan, see if there's interest for local

558
00:50:47,570 --> 00:50:53,750
businesses or even individuals who want to sponsor a box and that helps if they want to

559
00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:57,950
sponsor what would they benefit be to them.

560
00:50:58,530 --> 00:51:03,690
It would contribute financially, though, just help offset the cost of that box and that

561
00:51:03,690 --> 00:51:05,670
the neighborhood or that area?

562
00:51:06,370 --> 00:51:14,770
It might be a business that has the box right next to their business or a neighbor or something that wants to see that one done sooner than later and they might want to.

563
00:51:15,270 --> 00:51:17,070
There's a lot that I hate as much as I can.

564
00:51:17,850 --> 00:51:19,270
It's a marketing purposes.

565
00:51:19,410 --> 00:51:20,610
No, it's not for no.

566
00:51:22,010 --> 00:51:22,270
All right.

567
00:51:22,790 --> 00:51:23,690
That's it.

568
00:51:24,430 --> 00:51:24,650
A pet?

569
00:51:24,990 --> 00:51:25,630
You like a comment?

570
00:51:26,130 --> 00:51:26,550
Oh no.

571
00:51:27,030 --> 00:51:27,430
No, no, no, no, no.

572
00:51:27,430 --> 00:51:27,690
I'm not.

573
00:51:28,510 --> 00:51:28,890
Hang on.

574
00:51:29,670 --> 00:51:30,210
All right.

575
00:51:30,550 --> 00:51:31,150
Any more questions?

576
00:51:32,190 --> 00:51:32,790
Okay.

577
00:51:33,310 --> 00:51:33,810
Public comment.

578
00:51:34,450 --> 00:51:36,590
We do not have any for this item.

579
00:51:38,950 --> 00:51:39,350
No thanks.

580
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:42,770
I first of all want to congratulate you on that program.

581
00:51:43,290 --> 00:51:45,630
I can remember 20 years ago in Foster City.

582
00:51:45,830 --> 00:51:50,250
We had an art and cultural committee, but the committee couldn't decide on anything.

583
00:51:50,610 --> 00:51:53,930
So this proves something maybe by young people.

584
00:51:54,110 --> 00:51:57,010
I'm not assuming there might have been some older painters too.

585
00:51:57,110 --> 00:51:59,370
Congratulations to the City of Foster City.

586
00:51:59,370 --> 00:52:01,850
we can establish art and culture.

587
00:52:05,420 --> 00:52:08,240
We care for what the Arts and Culture Committee.

588
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,380
That was my first liaison assignment.

589
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:12,920
Oh, I'm excited to meet.

590
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:15,420
Any other comments?

591
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:16,760
Maybe.

592
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,820
I'll say the Arts and Culture Commission did a great job, right?

593
00:52:21,720 --> 00:52:22,300
I wouldn't know.

594
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,520
Yeah, I think it's great that this project came into place

595
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,200
to alleviate one issue and then end up bringing

596
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:35,660
just beautiful art, more beautiful art to our community. Tiffany, thanks for addressing my questions.

597
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:41,260
ahead of time, I just wanted to lift up that, you know, the staff was able to get 15 applicants out

598
00:52:41,260 --> 00:52:46,440
of those, 15 forward students, and then half of the four that were selected were from students,

599
00:52:46,740 --> 00:52:53,500
so it really shows like youth, you know, stepping up to showcase their skills. So Kudos to staff

600
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:55,920
and the students for doing that.

601
00:52:57,700 --> 00:52:58,340
So, thank you.

602
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,860
Now, I'm excited that we're doing this again.

603
00:53:01,980 --> 00:53:03,440
So, thank you for bringing it back.

604
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,280
I guess my only comment was I did hear the first round.

605
00:53:07,460 --> 00:53:12,340
We did have a young woman who was not treated very nicely

606
00:53:12,340 --> 00:53:15,200
by a resident while she was painting one of the boxes.

607
00:53:15,580 --> 00:53:18,480
So, I appreciate I guess you ended up putting a sign post

608
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,640
out letting people know that yes, she's not vandalizing.

609
00:53:21,700 --> 00:53:22,900
You know, this is approved.

610
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:34,420
So we could just continue that to do we can to keep our residents safe, and maybe put out some sort of public announcement that kids will be painting and it's approved all of that.

611
00:53:34,540 --> 00:53:37,080
But I'm really glad we're doing this. Thank you.

612
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,100
And in terms of direction, I think the pace is sorry.

613
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:42,860
I've done this twice today.

614
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:48,980
I think the pace is fine. I think we should absolutely plan for and start budgeting for this in the future.

615
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:51,700
Thank you.

616
00:53:51,700 --> 00:53:59,740
I think this is a wonderful program. I really love it, starving as the council member said,

617
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,760
solving a problem and making something beautiful at the same time is wonderful.

618
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:11,020
So I'm just going to go through, you had one of the feedback from council and I'm just going to provide my feedback for that.

619
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:18,040
I think you've already addressed that there was an issue with a young woman and a resident not knowing what she was doing,

620
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:22,460
So the signage is a good thing to the surrounding residents

621
00:54:22,460 --> 00:54:27,320
and maybe a sandwich board while they're working.

622
00:54:27,620 --> 00:54:29,840
So they know they're not bothering anybody.

623
00:54:30,780 --> 00:54:33,020
I do support the continuation and expansion

624
00:54:33,020 --> 00:54:34,240
of this program.

625
00:54:35,720 --> 00:54:41,520
And I am very interested in sponsorships and donations

626
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,900
for this, I think that would be a great way

627
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:46,860
to fund part of this program.

628
00:54:46,860 --> 00:54:50,260
So yes, yes, yes, yes, thank you.

629
00:54:51,020 --> 00:54:53,380
Yeah, I'm very supportive of the program.

630
00:54:54,420 --> 00:54:57,780
That's why I was wondering how many we had our potential.

631
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:05,460
But what it's me the most is it could tail some of the graffiti

632
00:55:05,460 --> 00:55:07,120
that's out there today.

633
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,080
And I think that's what we were trying to do originally,

634
00:55:11,540 --> 00:55:14,220
so that I'm very appreciative of that.

635
00:55:14,220 --> 00:55:15,980
So other than that, looking for motion.

636
00:55:17,380 --> 00:55:20,500
Motion to accept, report 7.1.

637
00:55:21,140 --> 00:55:21,480
Second.

638
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:24,820
I have a motion and a second.

639
00:55:25,180 --> 00:55:26,420
All those in favor say aye.

640
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:26,820
Aye.

641
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:27,080
Aye.

642
00:55:27,500 --> 00:55:28,020
Opposed.

643
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:29,540
Thank you.

644
00:55:29,700 --> 00:55:30,200
Next item.

645
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,640
Item 8 resolutions for adoption.

646
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:36,700
8.1.

647
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:42,680
A resolution of the city council of the city of foster city adopting a policy for disruption

648
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:49,580
of remote access during public open meetings of city council consistent with AB 707. Anyone

649
00:55:49,580 --> 00:55:53,780
wants to provide public comment, provide a speaker slip or raise your hand on Zoom.

650
00:55:57,820 --> 00:56:02,120
Mayor and members of the city council, it is recommended that the city council adopt

651
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:07,280
a resolution establishing a disruption policy that will establish steps on how to address

652
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:12,560
disruption of telephonic or internet service connection during public open meetings of

653
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:16,220
Council in compliance with SB 707.

654
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:27,880
SB 707 requires that all eligible legislative bodies comply with additional meeting requirements for public open meetings to be accessible for public viewing and participation.

655
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:35,380
The city is considered an eligible legislative body because the city population exceeds 30,000 residents.

656
00:56:35,380 --> 00:56:42,660
As such, the city is required to offer remote public access to open public meetings by either

657
00:56:42,660 --> 00:56:47,520
two-way telephonic service or two-way audio visual platforms.

658
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:53,960
The city already complies with this SB 707 requirements of conducting city council meetings

659
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:58,240
in a hybrid format via Zoom, which is a two-way AV platform.

660
00:57:00,700 --> 00:57:06,580
SB 707 further requires that the city establish a policy on how to address disruption of

661
00:57:06,580 --> 00:57:11,540
telephonic or internet service connection during a public open meeting of the city council.

662
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:15,620
The policy must be implemented by July 1, 2026.

663
00:57:15,820 --> 00:57:18,840
Staff has prepared a policy to comply with these provisions.

664
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:24,800
Specifically, the policy outlines the procedural steps for council to follow if the

665
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:26,980
hybrid Zoom platform is disrupted.

666
00:57:27,740 --> 00:57:31,140
The council would need to immediately announce the disruption to the public.

667
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:36,080
The city council would need to decide whether to adjourn the open session or to

668
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:42,240
recess from open session for one hour or until the remote access services are restored.

669
00:57:43,020 --> 00:57:47,560
During the recess, the council may meet in closed session if there is a closed session item.

670
00:57:48,380 --> 00:57:53,980
The policy also outlines examples that IT may use to troubleshoot the technical issues.

671
00:57:53,980 --> 00:58:11,280
If remote access services cannot be restored within one hour and the council intends to continue with open session then the council must conduct a roll call vote confirming that good faith efforts are made and at the public interest and continuing the meeting outweighs the need for remote access.

672
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,080
And the public would still be able to attend the meeting in person.

673
00:58:15,580 --> 00:58:18,800
That concludes my report and I'm available for any questions.

674
00:58:21,020 --> 00:58:29,100
The direction of this rule is primarily because of the zoom bombing that we had, we experienced across the state.

675
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,960
No, this is now legally required by SBO set 707.

676
00:58:34,180 --> 00:58:36,220
So that's why we're bringing this forward.

677
00:58:42,420 --> 00:58:43,740
Question question.

678
00:58:45,060 --> 00:58:45,680
Yeah.

679
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,280
Thank you for addressing the question.

680
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:50,140
I just wanted to raise up the question.

681
00:58:50,140 --> 00:58:53,720
And I ask thank you, Priscilla, I feel like that might be helpful for the audience.

682
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:59,620
I had asked if a meeting is recessed and then reconvened without the remote access available,

683
00:59:00,300 --> 00:59:06,040
how would the city clerk immediately notify the public and city clerk shall

684
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:12,480
indicate that they would post on social media that the city made good faith efforts to restore the zoom service

685
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,480
and that the Council took a roll call vote to continue the meeting.

686
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,140
And they also note that it's available for in-person attendance.

687
00:59:19,140 --> 00:59:22,140
I just wanted to share that.

688
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:24,980
Public comment.

689
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,160
We do not have any.

690
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:28,540
Okay.

691
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:29,960
Comments?

692
00:59:32,310 --> 00:59:32,570
Then?

693
00:59:33,510 --> 00:59:33,930
I don't know.

694
00:59:34,090 --> 00:59:34,130
I don't know.

695
00:59:34,170 --> 00:59:35,970
You're either then.

696
00:59:36,570 --> 00:59:37,250
Thank you.

697
00:59:37,810 --> 00:59:38,290
707.

698
00:59:40,190 --> 00:59:40,250
Okay.

699
00:59:41,130 --> 00:59:42,670
Other than that, I'm looking for a motion.

700
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:50,260
I'll make a motion to approve the resolution of the city council of the city of

701
00:59:50,260 --> 00:59:54,620
Master City, adopting the policy for disruption of remote access during public open meetings

702
00:59:54,620 --> 00:59:58,120
of the City Council consistent with SB 707.

703
00:59:58,420 --> 00:59:58,720
Oh, second.

704
00:59:59,320 --> 00:59:59,900
I have a motion.

705
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,220
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

706
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:14,440
Item 8.2 consideration of authorizing that execution of a project labor agreement, PLA, between the City of

707
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:19,480
Foster City, a sterom, municipal improvement, district, and the SAM2, county building, and construction

708
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:29,980
tree and council for three city district public works projects. Anyone who wants to

709
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:35,500
for the first time.

710
01:00:43,620 --> 01:00:45,060
Good evening, Mayor and Council.

711
01:00:45,220 --> 01:00:47,560
I am a director of public works.

712
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,660
Before you see the evening, it is a Project Labor Agreement.

713
01:00:51,460 --> 01:00:55,340
Also known as a PLA with the City of San Antonio, the San Antonio, the San Antonio,

714
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:59,100
would be San Antonio County building in construction trades, council,

715
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,500
for serving city and district public works projects.

716
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,620
PLA is a pre-hired collective bargaining agreement between

717
01:01:06,620 --> 01:01:10,200
labor organizations and public agencies that establishes

718
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:14,160
the trends and conditions of work for the construction of select cap projects.

719
01:01:15,340 --> 01:01:19,980
For the direction provided by Council of the November 4th, 2024 council meeting, staff

720
01:01:19,980 --> 01:01:25,860
might look labor-humane representatives to discuss an echo-chain PLA. The proposed PLA would

721
01:01:25,860 --> 01:01:29,900
be executed between the city, the district, and the San Mateo County Building Construction

722
01:01:29,900 --> 01:01:35,600
Trade Council, and the contractors and subcontractors would be required to be powered to

723
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:43,040
as a condition of performing or consulate projects. To obtain the highest impact of the benefits

724
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:48,660
of a PLA, including minimizing labor disruptions and local job creation staff recommends

725
01:01:48,660 --> 01:01:53,880
three projects in a five-year gap improvement program to be included in the PLA due to their size

726
01:01:53,880 --> 01:02:00,680
complexity and potential for multiple traits to be involved. The proposed improvement includes

727
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:05,580
provisions related to the use of skilled labor, union and referral procedures, wages and

728
01:02:05,580 --> 01:02:10,400
benefits. It includes the establishment of consistent labor relations framework for

729
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:15,040
covered projects including kind of procedures for referrals, pre-job practices and

730
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:20,380
work assignments, and provisions related to labor dispute, resolution, no strike, and

731
01:02:20,380 --> 01:02:26,960
all kinds of work requires a lot of focus. This includes the specific staff report, and I'm

732
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,940
answer any questions if you have a question,

733
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:33,820
I've

734
01:02:37,750 --> 01:02:37,990
got a

735
01:02:40,810 --> 01:02:44,430
few unions, trade unions, including

736
01:02:44,430 --> 01:02:45,250
the

737
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:52,900
PM Mr. Marathi, both union and non-union contractor

738
01:02:55,460 --> 01:02:57,920
projects under the PLA, and so

739
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:06,560
as long as they comply with the terms of the PLA, nobody is exempt from that. So workers, including members

740
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:13,300
So other unions that may not be part of the Building Trade Commission, they are not exempt

741
01:03:13,300 --> 01:03:18,560
or excluded from this, they too can participate in

742
01:03:24,030 --> 01:03:24,030
that.

743
01:03:24,670 --> 01:03:27,450
So I mean, I'm a little bit afraid that the Carpenters are

744
01:03:30,010 --> 01:03:31,630
not, like I said, the Carpenters

745
01:03:31,630 --> 01:03:36,730
members of the Carpenters Union, that they're not excluded from it, so that they can participate

746
01:03:36,730 --> 01:03:37,430
as well.

747
01:03:37,750 --> 01:03:42,590
They were not at the table with us as we negotiate that this contract with the Building Trade

748
01:03:42,590 --> 01:03:43,050
Commission.

749
01:03:43,050 --> 01:03:47,850
We are aware of the concerns that they have.

750
01:03:48,850 --> 01:03:52,850
We are not, or the city is not choosing between unions here.

751
01:03:53,090 --> 01:03:56,830
We're not getting into that discussion or getting in between any of that.

752
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,400
Building trades commission approached the city as you recall over a year ago.

753
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,020
I want to do something like this.

754
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:09,540
The city council directed staff to sit down at them and begin the negotiation process.

755
01:04:10,340 --> 01:04:13,820
And so through over a year and now we've been, I think it's been over

756
01:04:17,620 --> 01:04:17,880
a year.

757
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:26,880
any potential problem, here's a scenario. You said that they're not excluded. First up, the

758
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:31,340
staff report doesn't have a state. It says the signatures are there, but there's this

759
01:04:31,340 --> 01:04:31,660
dissent.

760
01:04:37,350 --> 01:04:38,610
If we have a scenario,

761
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,300
we're disagreement with one of the, so

762
01:05:00,770 --> 01:05:01,610
if they're current

763
01:05:01,610 --> 01:05:04,030
the traits, the other rest of the traits, we're equal.

764
01:05:07,070 --> 01:05:09,310
I'm in the terms of the PLA, we work

765
01:05:09,310 --> 01:05:17,170
the PLA to prevent those kinds of things from happening. So we work directly with them and

766
01:05:17,170 --> 01:05:24,590
they can speak to this as well. They have the trade commission can speak to this as well.

767
01:05:24,910 --> 01:05:31,600
But that's really one of the objectives of the PLA of the PLA to prevent those types of

768
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:38,340
answer strikes. So, as I said before, whether you or you and you and your client, you and

769
01:05:40,580 --> 01:05:42,380
you, and I'm going to answer you, comply with the jury,

770
01:05:45,140 --> 01:05:45,980
able to bid on these.

771
01:05:48,450 --> 01:05:48,770
But obviously,

772
01:05:48,950 --> 01:05:49,650
that's where it comes.

773
01:05:57,830 --> 01:06:00,950
If I can clarify, if it came, we're not a person to bid on.

774
01:06:01,010 --> 01:06:01,990
I would have to fight.

775
01:06:08,700 --> 01:06:12,780
Okay. So, is that what I was trying to put to all of the league?

776
01:06:13,300 --> 01:06:15,920
Whether or not they sign out of the agreement, they think you have this intellectual

777
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:20,440
line, and those blocks aren't there, because I should put those on after I decided

778
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,780
of the city where we're assigned to, and then we go down the rest of those signatures.

779
01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:29,340
So whether or not they sign up to them, so they're prerogative, and the reality is, currently,

780
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:35,900
we just approved a project with the helpers of the council district for housing, in which the general contractor

781
01:06:35,900 --> 01:06:40,940
awarded was happy to sign the PLA to work on those conditions, even though they are,

782
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:47,160
seeing a toy in the gardener. So it's kind of, it's, it's, has yet to be an issue on the job.

783
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,420
I don't know, sort of, Stefan's point.

784
01:06:49,620 --> 01:06:51,480
We have no signal lockouts on all the trades.

785
01:06:51,660 --> 01:06:54,160
We continue to work to uphold our end of the bargain.

786
01:06:54,860 --> 01:06:59,180
If all that issue with the cart position and at that point,

787
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:03,240
they would be the only ones given their contractor problem at that point.

788
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,980
If they signed the PLA, then they would be not do that.

789
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,560
If they don't, they could just put their own cart, their own contractor.

790
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,020
But we also have David online.

791
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,320
He's the attorney that worked with us on this.

792
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,540
that he may be able to add some more of the David King years.

793
01:07:20,900 --> 01:07:21,080
Yes, sir.

794
01:07:21,540 --> 01:07:25,420
I think everything else in there is exactly right.

795
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:30,720
I think we're just looking at some facts, I think we'll have to sign off on the K&M agreement.

796
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:32,640
We're going to go ahead.

797
01:08:05,340 --> 01:08:11,100
I want to understand how that will go higher provision will be, and I know that we can't

798
01:08:11,100 --> 01:08:12,560
enforce it for specific residents

799
01:08:20,330 --> 01:08:20,830
for them.

800
01:08:20,850 --> 01:08:24,590
Mr. Mayor, I'd ask David Hinnman to respond to this question.

801
01:08:24,590 --> 01:08:28,210
is an attorney in our office as a sitting enters, and

802
01:08:30,450 --> 01:08:31,710
so, as

803
01:08:34,630 --> 01:08:35,410
we know, whether you can

804
01:08:38,610 --> 01:08:43,090
go to California, that's a really hard thing to do. You know, I believe you're saying

805
01:08:43,090 --> 01:08:43,910
you can really show

806
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:52,300
these proposals like

807
01:08:58,770 --> 01:09:01,990
we got it, as you see in policy, you can make

808
01:09:01,990 --> 01:09:07,870
the area of the bathroom cells, but you can't move the lives,

809
01:09:11,300 --> 01:09:13,240
but you're saying, if

810
01:09:15,390 --> 01:09:16,410
I count to me,

811
01:09:16,550 --> 01:09:21,690
you can find it in the city, you're saying, and the way that that works is functionally is

812
01:09:21,690 --> 01:09:22,130
If there

813
01:09:25,100 --> 01:09:31,210
are questions you need to layer to the following a project, then we'll go to the

814
01:09:31,210 --> 01:09:32,370
community to leave it all in September

815
01:09:54,930 --> 01:09:56,490
before we're going to talk about the time that's

816
01:09:56,490 --> 01:09:57,290
here today.

817
01:09:57,510 --> 01:09:58,870
Most responses, we're also

818
01:10:01,210 --> 01:10:03,670
going to be more inspirational in all

819
01:10:11,700 --> 01:10:12,340
of the moment we come

820
01:10:12,340 --> 01:10:12,720
into.

821
01:10:28,850 --> 01:10:32,250
The first one would be Nathaniel Harris,

822
01:10:41,290 --> 01:10:43,650
the next one is Trevor Hall, Mr. Mayor.

823
01:10:43,850 --> 01:10:48,950
Maybe we want to first find out how many speakers we have, and then decide if it's going

824
01:10:48,950 --> 01:10:52,070
to be the standard three minutes, or if you want to do something to them.

825
01:10:52,150 --> 01:10:52,250
Okay.

826
01:10:52,250 --> 01:11:02,630
We have 10, but if you have the same thing to say, please say, you can come up and say

827
01:11:02,630 --> 01:11:07,350
in a minute, but just echoing a green with the

828
01:11:19,250 --> 01:11:22,150
first care of apprentice with smart local

829
01:11:22,150 --> 01:11:25,130
panel for and send two county resident.

830
01:11:28,550 --> 01:11:35,470
If you're here to go, I'm sending you to the Crew Change, and I found out about Symptok Token

831
01:11:35,470 --> 01:11:37,630
program, which is where I got to meet

832
01:11:40,380 --> 01:11:45,020
in my accounts a minute. Through that program, I got to learn

833
01:11:45,020 --> 01:11:51,360
about machine metal and smart, and I was fortunate enough to start my career in funds

834
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:53,960
or city with that Gilliatte.

835
01:11:59,330 --> 01:12:05,890
I'm here to give my support for this PLA, because I and my fellow

836
01:12:05,890 --> 01:12:11,410
apprentices and fellow union members would like to continue to help build the community so we live

837
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,480
Next, we have Trevor Long.

838
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:29,980
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

839
01:12:32,330 --> 01:12:35,610
Project Labor Agreements are one of the smartest ways of protecting.

840
01:12:35,610 --> 01:12:36,610
To protect,

841
01:12:40,300 --> 01:12:40,780
to clear.

842
01:13:47,110 --> 01:13:49,050
Thanks to we have Bart's Pen to.

843
01:13:58,020 --> 01:14:01,560
So we're receiving Bart Panto, because this matter for the Bill and Trade Council.

844
01:14:01,900 --> 01:14:06,140
So we have to do a county on behalf of the 13,000 minimum in construction.

845
01:14:06,660 --> 01:14:08,820
We're presenting over 21 trade unions.

846
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:11,980
And so we'll open, if I can have way.

847
01:14:12,100 --> 01:14:15,080
Brothers, there's just please stand with building trades and construction industry.

848
01:14:15,820 --> 01:14:20,940
As you are going to practice already, we also have all residents and in representatives.

849
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:21,920
Thank you.

850
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:30,380
I thank the Council for your direction to have a BLA policy, like I think, city staff,

851
01:14:30,860 --> 01:14:34,440
where your diligence and your candor in our discussions and negotiation.

852
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:39,480
The agreement you have before you is forged through the furnace of discussion and debate.

853
01:14:40,380 --> 01:14:41,100
We have an agreement.

854
01:14:41,100 --> 01:14:51,160
We got it done. It's a commitment. It's a deal that is inclusive and beneficial to workers and taxpayers.

855
01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:59,840
By maximizing, it's beneficial by maximizing the effectiveness of our tax dollars, as well as safely.

856
01:15:30,140 --> 01:15:36,060
Is it best we to do it? The trade runs according to your adoption, approval of this resolution

857
01:15:36,060 --> 01:15:43,220
that be a lay policy, and I just want to give you those to the press. I did not meet him when

858
01:15:43,220 --> 01:15:46,740
I approached him. I knew that the first time he was spoken to council meeting, so I mean, that's

859
01:15:46,740 --> 01:15:51,900
pretty weird. Something I remember my first time in the, my hands still gets sweaty when I get up here.

860
01:15:53,220 --> 01:15:58,060
Thank you. Thank you, staff. We are excited to move forward.

861
01:15:58,720 --> 01:15:58,980
Thank you.

862
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,000
Next, we have Scott Beale.

863
01:16:14,830 --> 01:16:17,610
Good evening, Council members. My name is Scott Beale.

864
01:16:18,250 --> 01:16:24,210
I represent thousands of members who live in Sanctuary County, many of whom live in Beale, full foster city.

865
01:16:24,830 --> 01:16:30,150
But I finished my enlistment in the Army. I was so lucky if I went away in a local 467,

866
01:16:30,210 --> 01:16:36,010
the plumbers by FERS, HBCR, serves the mechanics. There I started my five year

867
01:16:36,010 --> 01:16:45,110
apprenticeship and was fortunate to work with highly skilled crafts people and really

868
01:16:45,110 --> 01:16:51,630
holding in my craft that afforded me the opportunity to purchase a home in Pacifica

869
01:16:51,630 --> 01:16:59,280
raise my family, all with medical benefits, and the security of

870
01:17:01,810 --> 01:17:04,570
and so in cities, consider

871
01:17:04,570 --> 01:17:12,430
project labor agreements, they're also considering the benefits of communities, because

872
01:17:12,430 --> 01:17:19,440
without that work, we can't bring new prices into our program, and so I'm better way

873
01:17:19,440 --> 01:17:25,860
to help complete the circle, who live, and they're communicating to

874
01:17:28,030 --> 01:17:28,250
work.

875
01:17:28,250 --> 01:17:30,410
So, I just want to thank you for your consideration,

876
01:17:32,530 --> 01:17:33,210
the board here.

877
01:17:36,750 --> 01:17:38,470
Next is Eric Tassia.

878
01:17:47,990 --> 01:17:48,310
Good evening.

879
01:17:48,770 --> 01:17:52,230
Mayor Vice Mayor, Council members of Staff, my name is Eric Tassia.

880
01:17:52,730 --> 01:17:55,350
I'm a business representative of the Plovers of the Plovers of the Plovers Union.

881
01:17:55,750 --> 01:17:58,650
You wait a look before 67, based in the 7th day of County California.

882
01:17:59,830 --> 01:18:01,990
I'm here to speak in support of this PLA.

883
01:18:03,270 --> 01:18:07,890
PLA is the support strong union and labor standards and workforce development.

884
01:18:08,190 --> 01:18:11,590
I would also like to convey my support for future PLAs.

885
01:18:11,590 --> 01:18:16,770
That will include all trades and crowds of providing employment opportunities for charity-level

886
01:18:16,770 --> 01:18:19,870
workers and apprentices in these respective trades.

887
01:18:20,430 --> 01:18:21,970
Thank you.

888
01:18:23,820 --> 01:18:25,800
Next, we have Tom Trayer.

889
01:18:39,710 --> 01:18:45,390
I'm a second generation member of the Community Executive County Council of Second Generation

890
01:18:45,390 --> 01:18:45,690
Chairman.

891
01:18:46,590 --> 01:18:50,550
My father was a little more informed member for his overyear.

892
01:18:50,770 --> 01:18:51,770
His overyear is the happy retired.

893
01:18:52,210 --> 01:18:54,130
I'm a self-joined rapper of graduating.

894
01:18:55,670 --> 01:18:59,590
You need career as a lot of people live and work in San Mateo County, and it's something

895
01:18:59,590 --> 01:19:00,750
I'm very proud of.

896
01:19:00,890 --> 01:19:03,830
My first part in one of my life was you had a huge part of board board, and I've worked

897
01:19:03,830 --> 01:19:06,830
on several projects and also city including large-gillian projects.

898
01:19:07,630 --> 01:19:10,950
I really encourage the adoption of this project labor game so that we can get this next

899
01:19:10,950 --> 01:19:13,210
opportunity to next generation coming up.

900
01:19:13,490 --> 01:19:17,090
Project labor games will help put yellow people to work, and it's really a huge advantage

901
01:19:17,090 --> 01:19:17,550
of the community.

902
01:19:17,930 --> 01:19:18,510
Thank you.

903
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:26,320
Next we have Ethan Lester.

904
01:19:34,930 --> 01:19:42,630
Council members, my name is Steve Lusher, I'm a resident of San Mateo County, I'm here in 1999.

905
01:19:43,630 --> 01:19:50,150
I love this place, I'm not very engaged here. We work well with all the trades.

906
01:19:51,090 --> 01:19:58,910
We do bidder sea wall with the carpenters. We work on many, many jobs with the carpenters.

907
01:19:59,450 --> 01:20:04,530
They're very, very good with us. They're just not good with our building trades.

908
01:20:04,530 --> 01:20:11,470
for some reason. We can't give in to involved in any of that, but we want your support

909
01:20:11,470 --> 01:20:13,630
on this PLA. Appreciate your time.

910
01:20:14,190 --> 01:20:14,870
Thank you.

911
01:20:16,510 --> 01:20:16,910
Thank you.

912
01:20:17,110 --> 01:20:17,750
Adrian and Vila.

913
01:20:31,230 --> 01:20:37,330
I'm sitting council members. My name is Adrian. I'm a long time member of local and a resident

914
01:20:37,330 --> 01:20:42,390
of San Antonio County. I'm here to express my support for a doubt to be the project

915
01:20:42,390 --> 01:20:49,230
agreement for the upcoming city projects to keep the short and I believe the PLA has opened

916
01:20:49,230 --> 01:20:54,330
the door for apprenticeship and workforce development. The great pathways for young people

917
01:20:54,330 --> 01:20:58,910
and local residents to enter the trades when our family will skills and build long-term careers

918
01:20:58,910 --> 01:21:05,270
in the city. I'm one of those kids and I'm happy to build fresh high school and I've found

919
01:21:05,270 --> 01:21:11,510
an opportunity with local workforce. I grew up in a seven-tailed county and in the building

920
01:21:11,510 --> 01:21:17,270
trade has allowed me to continue to live here, and that raise a family to kids, a couple of

921
01:21:17,270 --> 01:21:17,530
buildings.

922
01:21:17,990 --> 01:21:22,090
I've heard hoping you support the PLA, and thank you for your time.

923
01:21:22,630 --> 01:21:23,010
Thank you.

924
01:21:25,390 --> 01:21:27,250
Anthony Viscusco.

925
01:21:38,580 --> 01:21:39,620
My name is Anthony Viscusco.

926
01:21:39,700 --> 01:21:42,380
I'm a business agent for local 16-key and cross-dense layers.

927
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:47,060
I do represent many members that lay in the cross-dense and up and down the peninsula.

928
01:21:48,660 --> 01:21:53,120
I'm an officer business agent, I'm also a compliance officer, so we don't, you need to

929
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:57,520
just represent any workers. We also represent not any workers when they get to get

930
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,560
advantage of them. I was going to go that to the job site and find out that somebody

931
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:05,540
did the right work and they didn't get paid the right wage by putting PLAs in the

932
01:22:05,540 --> 01:22:09,040
place. You guys keep that off the table and make sure that everybody gets to be in the

933
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:12,900
right wage at the right time. More importantly, if you look at our apprenticeship in the

934
01:22:12,900 --> 01:22:16,380
bottom that are hiring us, we have hundreds of people that are waiting to come into our

935
01:22:16,380 --> 01:22:20,940
program. Anything that's happening to you to have program. Because this is, this is a

936
01:22:21,860 --> 01:22:26,700
We have pathways and people come into this. They're not getting in. We have a church worker.

937
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,740
You can church worker and get it out two years later. They stay with this for 30 years.

938
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:37,180
We have so that the best skilled craftsmen, because we continue to educate people and keep them up on all the new stuff that's going on.

939
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:41,420
The only way that happens is when we have more opportunities to bring more people in.

940
01:22:41,660 --> 01:22:46,160
And this does that. The PLS do that. So, we're looking forward to your support on this.

941
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:52,880
And I just want to thank you guys for getting us all the way to where it is and encouraging them to the Supreme Court. Thank you.

942
01:22:52,940 --> 01:22:54,160
Thank you.

943
01:22:54,900 --> 01:23:00,280
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. One last thing. If the Carpenters were opposed to this, they would actually be here tonight to save that.

944
01:23:00,500 --> 01:23:04,660
And we know that because we see them, we see them everywhere. And nobody, nobody frames a building.

945
01:23:05,180 --> 01:23:06,740
They're the Carpenters. When would they walk out?

946
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:07,740
We want them to.

947
01:23:09,660 --> 01:23:11,100
True, we've been

948
01:23:20,990 --> 01:23:25,030
serving the squeaky shoes, but I'm not sweating on your furniture, so I'm still with.

949
01:23:25,030 --> 01:23:30,970
I'm too len with the same as say a labor council representing 105 unions and over 95,000

950
01:23:30,970 --> 01:23:33,090
workers in their families across our county.

951
01:23:33,710 --> 01:23:38,990
Workers who build mainstream and power the communities that we all rely on every day.

952
01:23:39,530 --> 01:23:41,390
I want to start by recognizing something important.

953
01:23:41,690 --> 01:23:45,430
This council made a decision at the end of 2024 to move this work forward.

954
01:23:45,990 --> 01:23:50,290
He gave staff direction and they delivered what's in front of you tonight is a result of

955
01:23:50,290 --> 01:23:55,750
of serious thoughtful, professional work, and that matters, and it deserves to be seen through.

956
01:23:56,470 --> 01:24:00,050
Because this agreement isn't theoretical, it's not political, it's practical.

957
01:24:01,210 --> 01:24:04,970
A project labor agreement is how you ensure that when foster city invests public dollars

958
01:24:04,970 --> 01:24:10,710
you give to pay for. Projects built safely built writing built on time, and ensures a stable

959
01:24:10,710 --> 01:24:14,970
skilled workforce, clear accountability, and no disruptions will leave taxpayers putting

960
01:24:14,970 --> 01:24:19,830
the bill and the data back to them. Projects using this model and work productive,

961
01:24:19,830 --> 01:24:24,710
more predictable and far less likely to run into the kinds of labor shortages that drive

962
01:24:24,710 --> 01:24:30,370
the costs and derail timelines, but beyond performance is about something bigger. This is about

963
01:24:30,370 --> 01:24:34,910
whether the people who live here, your residents have a real shot at building careers on the

964
01:24:34,910 --> 01:24:40,390
projects their tax dollars fund, whether young people can access apprenticeship programs, whether

965
01:24:40,390 --> 01:24:45,710
families can count on stable middle-class jobs, and whether public investment actually strengthens

966
01:24:45,710 --> 01:24:50,690
community has meant to serve. That's what this does. I know you've heard opposition in

967
01:24:50,690 --> 01:24:54,290
the past, and I like to offer some clarity. He may have been told this agreement

968
01:24:54,290 --> 01:24:58,330
excludes people, as the spinics lay in thus far, does mock and applies to everyone

969
01:24:58,330 --> 01:25:02,450
in the union in non-union in a life, and anyone who wants to work under these standards

970
01:25:02,450 --> 01:25:07,730
is welcome to do so. He may have heard concerns or have concerns about a particular

971
01:25:07,730 --> 01:25:13,690
human. The reality is simple. They made the decision to step away. No one pushed them out,

972
01:25:13,690 --> 01:25:18,850
and has been said, as has been said, still they are more than welcome to sign this agreement

973
01:25:18,850 --> 01:25:23,170
just as they are signed to so many more active agreements in the county.

974
01:25:24,410 --> 01:25:27,650
So let's not confuse internal politics with public policy.

975
01:25:28,510 --> 01:25:31,430
At the end of the day, it comes down to a very straightforward question.

976
01:25:32,110 --> 01:25:34,510
When a foster city builds, do you want certainty?

977
01:25:34,810 --> 01:25:35,630
Where do you want risk?

978
01:25:36,170 --> 01:25:40,250
Do you want a project delivered with a skilled, trained, coordinated workforce and one

979
01:25:40,250 --> 01:25:41,770
that leads out comes to chance?

980
01:25:41,770 --> 01:25:46,930
And do you want public dollars to create real opportunity locally or not?

981
01:25:47,450 --> 01:25:51,630
You made the decision to move this forward, staff followed through, and tonight is your

982
01:25:51,630 --> 01:25:53,310
opportunity to bring us to completion.

983
01:25:53,810 --> 01:25:54,890
We strongly urge your support.

984
01:25:55,390 --> 01:25:55,650
Thank you.

985
01:26:01,450 --> 01:26:04,230
And that concludes our public comment to this item.

986
01:26:33,690 --> 01:26:51,450
I just want to say thank you to Park and to our City Manager for really committing to this process and seeing it through. I'm excited that we're finally here, it seems like we have an agreement that will not perfect on either side, I think that's the very definition of something that is successful.

987
01:26:51,450 --> 01:26:58,070
So thank you both for all of our work and I'm talk staff members internally with Council and all of the many people that

988
01:26:58,610 --> 01:27:03,470
But time and to make this happen. I think it's going to be a good thing for foster city

989
01:27:03,470 --> 01:27:12,470
I really have yet to be an event quite a bit of research on this. I have yet to find a city that is entered into a peeling project that was thoughtfully

990
01:27:12,470 --> 01:27:13,970
You know, well, well thought out

991
01:27:15,330 --> 01:27:20,230
Where they regretted it. I don't see that and it seems like

992
01:27:20,230 --> 01:27:38,230
When these are in place, we have projects that run smoother, there's a better dispute resolution, and ultimately what's most important to me is that we have workers that are well paid and paid well for the work they do, and they deserve it.

993
01:27:38,330 --> 01:27:42,070
I'm excited and I'm full support and I'm looking forward to coding myself.

994
01:28:11,180 --> 01:28:19,600
Thank you, everyone, participated in the negotiation process, but here's staff, obviously, the building trades.

995
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:29,420
I also just want to lift up that, you know, I know that's what he's got this speaker spoke to this, but attracting young talent,

996
01:28:29,460 --> 01:28:33,280
you know, skill talent, attracting women to the trades, right?

997
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:39,960
Attractive people who want to be able to future proof the skills that they have with AI, already here,

998
01:28:40,440 --> 01:28:46,760
and growing faster every day to have these kinds of hands on, you know,

999
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:49,940
trade is so important for youth.

1000
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:53,670
I know that a genuine different career is an office

1001
01:28:58,470 --> 01:29:00,970
career, so I think that it's great that

1002
01:29:00,970 --> 01:29:02,910
the win trades gives that option.

1003
01:29:03,930 --> 01:29:08,150
As a comment, I would like to also say, I think it's great that we also heard some

1004
01:29:08,150 --> 01:29:12,470
positive feedback about your partnerships with the Carpenter's Union.

1005
01:29:12,710 --> 01:29:16,070
I know the Carpenter's Union reaches out to the council, right?

1006
01:29:17,370 --> 01:29:20,510
Especially about this PLA tonight, which I'm in support of.

1007
01:29:20,510 --> 01:29:26,550
love to see in the future if there was a way to be able to go shape together. I think that's probably

1008
01:29:26,550 --> 01:29:32,170
easier said than done, but just something, you know, I know that will take different

1009
01:29:32,170 --> 01:29:32,970
maneuvers

1010
01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:38,520
to different traits coming together, I think.

1011
01:29:48,970 --> 01:29:54,550
I was opposing the question of both the curve. One of our responsibilities is we have

1012
01:29:54,550 --> 01:29:59,570
that those sharing responsibility has wanted to one of the speakers to point out.

1013
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:13,140
To spend taxpayer money wisely. And I'm somebody who looks down the road and we're setting a precedent here, assuming that this is approved.

1014
01:30:13,820 --> 01:30:21,020
We're setting a precedent for longer term because I'm sure in years to come, more PLAs will be presented.

1015
01:30:21,020 --> 01:30:24,920
I think that's just the way it works.

1016
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:33,800
And so I'm trying to make sure that we as a city do not put ourselves in a position where

1017
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:38,160
we have to wear a stripe shirt and a blow whistle between the unions.

1018
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:47,220
If there's a squabble, we shouldn't be in the middle of that with the PLA, and that's

1019
01:30:47,220 --> 01:30:48,740
where my concern is.

1020
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:56,260
I've been supportive of the unions, I've been supporting about talking to the unions about

1021
01:30:56,260 --> 01:31:03,020
what are you doing about your apprentice programs, for the, and to, like the journey,

1022
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,400
how are you going to become a journeymen unless you become a apprentice?

1023
01:31:07,060 --> 01:31:12,740
I'm a product, I've worked in three different unions myself in my earlier days, so I understand

1024
01:31:12,740 --> 01:31:17,180
the skill and I understand the professionals and the tape present.

1025
01:31:17,180 --> 01:31:25,340
So, that's where the rampad is for my concern is, we should not be in referee position.

1026
01:31:25,820 --> 01:31:33,780
We shouldn't have to, would we consider this, would we ever be in a position where we have to choose

1027
01:31:33,780 --> 01:31:40,300
sides, we shouldn't be in that position, or nor, I can't vote for something that puts us in

1028
01:31:40,300 --> 01:31:40,900
that position.

1029
01:31:41,440 --> 01:31:43,060
So, that's where I'm coming from.

1030
01:31:43,060 --> 01:31:44,040
Okay,

1031
01:31:46,980 --> 01:31:51,120
and the other comments, okay, as a matter of looking for a motion.

1032
01:31:53,320 --> 01:32:02,720
Move to adopt the resolution I stated in the draft resolutions attached to the staffer.

1033
01:32:03,460 --> 01:32:03,780
Second.

1034
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:07,400
Okay, I have a motion in the second. All those in favor say aye.

1035
01:32:07,440 --> 01:32:08,280
Aye. Aye.

1036
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:08,820
Opposed.

1037
01:32:10,060 --> 01:32:10,560
Thank you.

1038
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:11,840
Next item.

1039
01:32:17,440 --> 01:32:24,640
Item 8.3 consideration of reinstating the Deputy City Manager position responsible for economic

1040
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:28,800
development and the oversight of community development department.

1041
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,800
Anyone who wants to provide public comment, please provide speaker slip or raise your

1042
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:33,700
hand-on-scene.

1043
01:32:36,490 --> 01:32:39,450
Good evening, Mayor Kiesel and members of the Council.

1044
01:32:40,390 --> 01:32:44,590
I am a administrative services director, Diane Pittman here to talk about item 8.3.

1045
01:32:45,010 --> 01:32:49,010
I'll summarize the detailed staff report, which recommends the City Council approve

1046
01:32:49,010 --> 01:32:54,370
resolutions reinstating the deputy city manager position responsible for economic development

1047
01:32:54,370 --> 01:32:59,950
and provide oversight of the community development department in the fiscal year 2526 budget,

1048
01:33:00,370 --> 01:33:05,930
authorizes salary change to the current DCM position before recruiting, authorizes the city manager

1049
01:33:05,930 --> 01:33:11,030
to hire a DCM during the current fiscal year because that position was not budgeted, and of

1050
01:33:11,030 --> 01:33:16,720
course, a proven adopt the amended pay plan for fiscal year 2526. One of the city council's

1051
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:21,300
priorities of economic development and the city recently hired an outside consultant to conduct

1052
01:33:21,300 --> 01:33:26,360
a real estate economic market analysis, which requires collaboration with internal staff

1053
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:30,800
that are familiar with the city businesses as in community, as well as external businesses

1054
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:36,380
business stakeholders. Once this study is completed, phase two will focus on evaluating the data

1055
01:33:36,380 --> 01:33:41,520
and results of the analysis and translating it into meaningful action and initiatives that

1056
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:44,900
that will culminate in an economic development strategic plan.

1057
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:49,680
A deputy city manager is recommended to take the lead on that phase, and to manage the

1058
01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:52,500
CDD department because there is lots of overlap in that area.

1059
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:58,240
To provide some history, the position was budgeted and recruited in the previous fiscal year,

1060
01:33:58,540 --> 01:34:01,900
but the recruitment did not result in candidates that fit the needs of the city.

1061
01:34:02,540 --> 01:34:06,380
Management decided to use consultant services in fiscal year 2526,

1062
01:34:06,380 --> 01:34:11,480
So the funding for the DCM position was removed and shifted to consultant contracting services.

1063
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:18,080
The resolutions attached to the staff report request the city council to reinstate the DCM position into the fiscal year budget.

1064
01:34:18,580 --> 01:34:24,140
Authorize the salary change to ensure there is no compaction with the CD director who would be a direct report.

1065
01:34:24,740 --> 01:34:30,740
Authorize the city manager to hire the DCM position now and approve an amended pay plan in compliance with CalPERS.

1066
01:34:30,740 --> 01:34:46,620
The cost of filling this position now can be funded with unspent personnel resources in the existing budget, and future costs will be proposed in the fiscal year 2627 and fiscal year 2728 by annual budget, and that concludes my report, and I'm available to answer any questions.

1067
01:34:46,620 --> 01:34:48,160
Okay, questions?

1068
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:49,000
Better?

1069
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:50,880
Phoebe?

1070
01:34:53,810 --> 01:34:53,990
Choosing?

1071
01:34:54,610 --> 01:34:59,230
I don't really have a question, but I want to reiterate one of my questions that I asked,

1072
01:34:59,450 --> 01:35:01,890
just to lift it up to the public, so they know.

1073
01:35:02,330 --> 01:35:09,090
And I think that you said it down that money was shifted to contracts last year when the position was removed

1074
01:35:09,090 --> 01:35:11,310
and basically the same thing is happening now.

1075
01:35:11,590 --> 01:35:15,230
It's going to be taken out of contracts and put into the position.

1076
01:35:15,230 --> 01:35:20,230
So, I just wanted to lift that up to make it clear that it's just shifting money.

1077
01:35:21,590 --> 01:35:24,150
Okay, I don't have any questions, I gotta comment.

1078
01:35:25,090 --> 01:35:26,130
Okay, public comment?

1079
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:31,360
We do not have any.

1080
01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:32,280
Okay,

1081
01:35:34,340 --> 01:35:34,360
comments?

1082
01:35:36,420 --> 01:35:39,380
My comment is on, it's a request.

1083
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:47,020
Do you have an org chart available or where this sits in this structure?

1084
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:53,480
I have one on paper that is draft.

1085
01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:57,040
I don't have one until the council approves the position and says,

1086
01:35:57,040 --> 01:35:57,840
here you go.

1087
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:02,700
I'll have one for you once assuming that the council says yes.

1088
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:03,640
Appreciate that.

1089
01:36:03,820 --> 01:36:08,100
We have, we have org charts for the entire system right now,

1090
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,840
and so there'll be some tweaking of the current org chart

1091
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:12,600
to reflect this position and how it works.

1092
01:36:13,340 --> 01:36:13,740
Got it?

1093
01:36:14,060 --> 01:36:14,560
That's fine.

1094
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:15,100
Okay.

1095
01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:16,400
Looking for a motion.

1096
01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:22,180
I'll make a motion. I have to adopt the resolution I stated in the draft resolution attached

1097
01:36:22,180 --> 01:36:23,300
to the staff at the court.

1098
01:36:23,740 --> 01:36:23,880
Second.

1099
01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:26,940
I have a motion in the second. I'll lose the favor say aye.

1100
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:27,340
Aye.

1101
01:36:28,260 --> 01:36:28,760
Opposed.

1102
01:36:29,940 --> 01:36:30,760
Thank you.

1103
01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:31,840
Next item?

1104
01:36:32,060 --> 01:36:33,380
I had a nine communications.

1105
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:37,080
9.1 City District Board of Demance or Issue.

1106
01:36:37,140 --> 01:36:41,820
Processed an issued on March 17, 2026 and March 31, 2026.

1107
01:36:42,380 --> 01:36:44,200
Anyone who wants to provide public comment?

1108
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:49,240
read a speaker slip or raise your hand on Zoom. This is an information item only no action or

1109
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:49,720
acquired.

1110
01:36:52,870 --> 01:36:56,810
I had a intensity district to manage or reports council board statements and requests

1111
01:36:56,810 --> 01:37:03,030
and council liaison reports. Mr. Marin, Council, I don't have anything further to report. I'll

1112
01:37:03,030 --> 01:37:05,190
stand for questions if you have anything.

1113
01:37:10,310 --> 01:37:12,510
Stacey, you wonder the first?

1114
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:18,760
I sadly missed a very interesting

1115
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:25,240
E-Bite collaborative event, thanks to jury duty, but it sounds like there's an interesting

1116
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:31,380
work going on in the Serian Laws of Collaboration, happening between the county and our school

1117
01:37:31,380 --> 01:37:31,800
districts.

1118
01:37:32,500 --> 01:37:34,000
So I'm very grateful for that.

1119
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:42,320
I was really nothing other to report other than I was in Sacramento last week, advocating

1120
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:54,940
on behalf of really, I guess, our city urging our assembly committees to basically backfill and

1121
01:37:54,940 --> 01:38:01,540
continue to fund our VLF. And I will be back in Sacramento on Thursday for the Senate

1122
01:38:01,540 --> 01:38:06,100
side doing the same thing. Sorry, that's all that I have to report.

1123
01:38:10,550 --> 01:38:11,510
Thank you for working

1124
01:38:11,510 --> 01:38:18,570
BLA. So I attended a planning commission last week. Oh, no, it was two weeks ago, the 23rd.

1125
01:38:19,510 --> 01:38:25,490
They held their third study session on the Gilead Chess Hatch project. They have the,

1126
01:38:29,390 --> 01:38:34,670
it's going to go to public hearing next and then it'll come to us. Then they had a study session

1127
01:38:34,670 --> 01:38:39,550
on phase two of the development design standards, which includes water properties and

1128
01:38:39,550 --> 01:38:43,410
I declare style properties and that's going to be a continuing discussion.

1129
01:38:44,210 --> 01:38:47,870
I wanted to thank Council Member Sullivan for attending the Emergency Service Council

1130
01:38:47,870 --> 01:38:50,890
meeting which I missed last week because I was out of the country.

1131
01:38:51,590 --> 01:38:58,710
But on the agenda was a tsunami preparedness where we were provided worst case scenarios

1132
01:38:59,230 --> 01:39:04,470
maps for each city and so I wanted to call out that foster city has three buildings identified

1133
01:39:04,470 --> 01:39:09,990
in that worst case scenario, and those are the restrooms at Shorebird Park, Baywinds Park Trail,

1134
01:39:10,490 --> 01:39:14,830
and all the buildings at Mariners' Point Golf Course, worst case scenario.

1135
01:39:17,770 --> 01:39:23,970
Also on the agenda was the budget which was proved, as I understand, and the procurement

1136
01:39:23,970 --> 01:39:26,350
process for the House Mount Response Vehicle.

1137
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:31,570
I wanted to let everybody know that I've been asked to be a chair of a legislative subcommittee

1138
01:39:31,570 --> 01:39:33,590
for the SFO round table.

1139
01:39:35,130 --> 01:39:40,170
And also, I think we all received email from Gina Pappin,

1140
01:39:40,270 --> 01:39:43,610
but there's a Sam Transmeeting this Wednesday at 2 p.m.

1141
01:39:44,150 --> 01:39:47,750
Item 10.d is a draft local investment plan

1142
01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:52,370
for the use of funds for the potential SB 63 ballot measure.

1143
01:39:52,770 --> 01:39:55,610
The sales tax measure for the Health Public Transit,

1144
01:39:56,250 --> 01:39:58,270
and I would like to encourage all council members

1145
01:39:58,270 --> 01:39:59,990
to attend and provide public comment

1146
01:39:59,990 --> 01:40:03,630
and how to use that approximately 50 million return

1147
01:40:03,630 --> 01:40:06,610
to source funds and how it can benefit foster city.

1148
01:40:07,430 --> 01:40:08,510
And that's all I have.

1149
01:40:08,870 --> 01:40:09,590
Thank you.

1150
01:40:13,100 --> 01:40:16,000
Thanks to staff, a lot of hard work

1151
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:17,020
that we accomplished tonight

1152
01:40:17,020 --> 01:40:18,660
or you all accomplished tonight.

1153
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:23,180
A couple of things happened, 5K was this weekend,

1154
01:40:23,620 --> 01:40:25,700
the foster city, 5K.

1155
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:28,760
Last year, I had the notable honor

1156
01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:30,860
of being the last person across the line

1157
01:40:30,860 --> 01:40:37,640
As the line finish line was getting folded up this year, I had the honor of being not even making that and writing my bike

1158
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:42,200
But it's okay. We still made it in the market was at the end was really great

1159
01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:47,800
Great to see some of our mini market entrepreneurial youth out there selling their wares

1160
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:51,380
So that was wonderful to see that and just bring community together

1161
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:56,140
last week was Earth Day April 24th

1162
01:40:56,780 --> 01:41:01,580
There was an off-the-grid, it was a Wednesday, so there was off-the-grid in Foster City, and

1163
01:41:01,580 --> 01:41:07,720
our local citizens' sustainability advisory committee was tabling there and educating

1164
01:41:08,300 --> 01:41:13,360
our local community around how to be more environmentally friendly, and they also teamed up

1165
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:17,560
with the local CR club chapter, so it was great to see those two groups working together.

1166
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:23,480
That couldn't have happened without the efforts of Vanessa, Nora, and Becky on the staff who

1167
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:24,560
were able to guide that.

1168
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:25,240
Thank you.

1169
01:41:26,100 --> 01:41:26,660
Andrew?

1170
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:28,740
Yes.

1171
01:41:28,740 --> 01:41:29,000
Thanks.

1172
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:30,140
Mr. Mayor.

1173
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:36,220
On the 22nd, I attended the Bicycle Pedestrian Committee and the person at

1174
01:41:36,220 --> 01:41:38,300
Runsett is Sean Carpenter.

1175
01:41:38,580 --> 01:41:40,880
I wanted to congratulate him if it was his last meeting.

1176
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:43,940
He's now the city manager of the city of Pacifica.

1177
01:41:44,300 --> 01:41:45,600
So congratulate to him.

1178
01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:50,900
The Bicycle Pedestrian Committee, we're getting to that point where different cities come in and

1179
01:41:50,900 --> 01:41:57,520
ask for a money to take care of their infrastructure for bicycles and pedestrians and I look

1180
01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:01,700
forward to the city of Foster City. We'll be putting something in so that we can get some

1181
01:42:01,700 --> 01:42:06,500
money. I know Andrew's done a great job since he's been here. We've been able to get some

1182
01:42:06,500 --> 01:42:15,420
funds from the bicycle pedestrian committee. I also attended the airport land use situation

1183
01:42:15,420 --> 01:42:17,980
And again, we've approved more proposals.

1184
01:42:18,380 --> 01:42:23,100
Again, we're just kind of in a advisory committee and we're seeing in some of those areas

1185
01:42:23,100 --> 01:42:30,680
whether it's in San Carlos or Redwood City close to the airport uses that normally you

1186
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:35,160
probably wouldn't see which will be geared around housing in child care.

1187
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:36,840
So that was great.

1188
01:42:37,440 --> 01:42:43,500
Also, I appreciate the opportunity from Vice Mayor Susie to attend the Department of Emergency

1189
01:42:43,500 --> 01:42:49,580
management for the county. A couple of highlights were there. I learned from the

1190
01:42:49,580 --> 01:42:55,120
Hazmat team, which we have a 30 plus, we have one of the largest hazmats in the Bay Area

1191
01:42:55,120 --> 01:43:01,040
and they're all skilled. They're getting due to, they're going to need to upgrade their

1192
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:07,380
Hazmat truck and that's going to be pretty expensive. So with the leadership of the surrounding

1193
01:43:07,380 --> 01:43:13,020
cities, we kind of table that until they have an RFP, could the director, the director,

1194
01:43:13,020 --> 01:43:18,120
they're wanted to have so-called blank check to put some money out there, and we thought

1195
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:18,900
it would be a good idea.

1196
01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:20,600
We still have another year left.

1197
01:43:21,620 --> 01:43:23,100
The husband, I also learned something.

1198
01:43:23,300 --> 01:43:24,940
I thought it was all the Tesla batteries.

1199
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:27,900
It is causing a lot of asmat problems.

1200
01:43:29,020 --> 01:43:34,580
But according to the asmat team, we have still a lot of problems with people with lithium

1201
01:43:34,580 --> 01:43:40,060
battery chargers, for their scooters, their skateboards, or their electric bikes that are

1202
01:43:40,060 --> 01:43:40,980
causing hazards.

1203
01:43:40,980 --> 01:43:48,600
So all going to have to be alerting our apartment buildings and other people that it's important to get the right safety equipment.

1204
01:43:49,280 --> 01:44:02,020
So you can charge your segway or whatever you may be charging. So that was important. Also with the council we attended the council of cities in Belmont.

1205
01:44:02,020 --> 01:44:09,980
And they have funded their, as you know, that drainage thing in the back and they went for

1206
01:44:09,980 --> 01:44:12,940
about these three or four grants that they received.

1207
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:20,620
So Julie Amates, which was the mayor of the city of Belmont, and I'm working with her to

1208
01:44:20,620 --> 01:44:25,400
get some more information so that if we have anything in the future that we need to get grants,

1209
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:31,340
she's got some government groups and non-government groups that made money donations to the

1210
01:44:31,340 --> 01:44:36,380
city of Belmont. So that's good. And again, I'm going to end with public services, the best

1211
01:44:36,380 --> 01:44:38,020
work of the life. Thanks, Mr. Mayor.

1212
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:49,700
Uh, re-think waste or SBWMA looking at reducing expenses. And we got an update on their infrastructure

1213
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:57,240
on how they're going to be doing the charging for electric vehicles. Uh, their trucks and

1214
01:44:57,240 --> 01:44:57,860
like.

1215
01:44:59,440 --> 01:44:59,980
Along with stay.

1216
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:11,560
Casey, attended the Yak, senior vingo, which was actually pretty good watching the Yak kids conduct

1217
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:19,020
the vingo. And I thought they did really well, either that or they're really trained by staff.

1218
01:45:19,020 --> 01:45:22,920
Okay, but it wouldn't really smooth.

1219
01:45:24,820 --> 01:45:33,820
Palo Alto put on a presentation on, quote, Horizontal Levy, and I attended that and they

1220
01:45:33,820 --> 01:45:45,420
were showing how they're trying to plant, put plants into barren areas to try to absorb

1221
01:45:45,420 --> 01:45:51,140
some of the water and basically, I thought it was for a levy which was for a wall.

1222
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:58,860
It's more so to absorb and keep the erosion down because of the wave action and tidal

1223
01:45:58,860 --> 01:45:59,620
action.

1224
01:46:00,140 --> 01:46:03,500
A very interesting project that they're working on.

1225
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:12,600
Fire Department put on something to FEMA on hazard response and there were several scenarios

1226
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:19,760
that we went through and what would you do in this situation, and I took exception because one

1227
01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:29,180
of the scenarios was the Foster City Levy was breached and I made that public that I took

1228
01:46:29,180 --> 01:46:30,780
a fence to it.

1229
01:46:34,780 --> 01:46:40,980
Oh and then yesterday I was at the San Mateo Foster City Education Foundation

1230
01:46:40,980 --> 01:46:44,500
and fundraiser at arrogant and high school,

1231
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:46,420
where they had a basketball.

1232
01:46:47,200 --> 01:46:49,520
If you've ever been to the Harlem Blown Trotters,

1233
01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:53,080
you know the type of event that it is.

1234
01:46:53,380 --> 01:46:55,980
It's called, but they were the Harlem Wizards.

1235
01:46:57,040 --> 01:47:01,300
And they did the same similar kind of joke and around.

1236
01:47:01,460 --> 01:47:03,680
And but they played a little bit of serious basketball,

1237
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:06,500
which I appreciate.

1238
01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:10,960
I can't emphasize what Stacy was talking about.

1239
01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:18,620
the BLF. And I hope they do the same thing similar with the EWAP as well, because they're

1240
01:47:18,620 --> 01:47:25,000
both really drive, put staff in a real tight spot when they're trying to present. Well,

1241
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:30,940
here's what our crystal ball says is going to happen in the future. And yet, oh, by the way,

1242
01:47:31,140 --> 01:47:39,000
we could get this much or zero on BLF or EWAP. I mean, that's a state issue, and hopefully

1243
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:46,880
we can get that built through and the lawsuit that when Stacey said it's for the city,

1244
01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:53,640
yeah, but it's mainly been run through the county and all 20 cities are on board with that lawsuit.

1245
01:47:54,340 --> 01:47:57,800
Now, I'm not trying to steal you thunder, but by the same token, I think it's very important.

1246
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:05,600
And then the sales tax that Susie brought up and I'm going to remind people again,

1247
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:10,180
It's going to cost, for that sales tax, it's going to cost us.

1248
01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:17,740
Foster City, the merchants will collect and pay $2 million more per year.

1249
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:23,920
And my comment is, what are we going to get for that $2 million?

1250
01:48:24,500 --> 01:48:30,640
If it's another bus, if it's something else great, but we need to get something for $2 million.

1251
01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:39,400
I mentioned earlier we've got a fiduciary responsibility and I can't sit there and say you're going to pay two million dollars people more per year

1252
01:48:39,400 --> 01:48:40,780
for nothing

1253
01:48:40,780 --> 01:48:42,760
It's kind of a hard cell

1254
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:45,740
Other than that

1255
01:48:45,740 --> 01:48:46,740
I think

1256
01:48:46,740 --> 01:48:48,660
Let me get to my notes

1257
01:48:48,660 --> 01:48:49,660
I think we

1258
01:48:49,660 --> 01:48:51,300
We recess

1259
01:48:51,300 --> 01:48:53,920
We recess the closed session

1260
01:48:53,920 --> 01:49:00,180
And then you have any public comment on either of the two items.

1261
01:49:01,260 --> 01:49:02,920
And you do not have any.

1262
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:03,640
Can we read that?

1263
01:49:03,860 --> 01:49:07,580
Just so that it's clear there's two items threat to public services or facilities.

1264
01:49:08,220 --> 01:49:10,080
And then conference with labor negotiators.

1265
01:49:10,660 --> 01:49:12,420
And there are designated representatives,

1266
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:16,420
Diane Pittman, Corey Call, and Austria-Sprung grungess.

1267
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:18,220
Okay.

1268
01:49:18,540 --> 01:49:20,140
So we recessed it.
