1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,240
Item nine. So, okay. Thank you.

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,320
Item six is a consent calendar. The

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,920
following items are presented for

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,679
approval without a discussion as a

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,440
single agenda item. Is there a council

6
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:19,520
person that wishes to pull an item

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,119
to discuss outside of the consent

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,039
calendar?

9
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:24,720
I don't I don't I don't believe we've

10
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:26,480
received any public comment regarding

11
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,640
that. So, is there a motion to approve

12
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,480
the consent calendar? I'll motion to

13
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,599
approve the consent calendar.

14
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,120
» Is there a second?

15
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:36,000
» I'll second.

16
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,559
» Any discussion?

17
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,440
Uh no. And all those in favor of the

18
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:40,800
motion say I.

19
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,640
» I.

20
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,440
» All eyes.

21
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,680
Thank you. Now we'll go to management

22
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,079
reports. Uh

23
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,079
Mr. Trill.

24
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:56,559
» All right. Good evening, Mr. Mayor,

25
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,079
council members, staff, and

26
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:02,559
resident

27
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:05,119
residents. Um, okay. Um,

28
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:06,720
so, uh, what we got going this week, um,

29
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:09,119
we got some stuff with the Royal

30
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,720
Theater. They were able to, uh, get some

31
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:13,040
footers poured on the inside of the

32
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,479
facility. Uh, they got the okay for the

33
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,439
facade, um, for the front wall. Um,

34
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:21,520
they've started demoing that, uh, a

35
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:24,159
little bit at a time. Um they still

36
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,759
can't really go all the way because

37
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:28,320
we're still waiting for the encroment

38
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:30,640
permit for um the sidewalk and and all

39
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,439
that through CALR. Um all of which was

40
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,400
submitted last week. Um so that's just

41
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:39,680
pending now. Um we are kind of starting

42
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,759
to make some relationships with the um

43
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,680
permit inspectors and the the permit

44
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:47,280
writers. Um it's a slow process uh kind

45
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,240
of befriending them, but they're kind of

46
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,840
starting to see what we're going

47
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,880
through. So, uh, they're kind of

48
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,600
starting to come on our side.

49
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,040
» Good.

50
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,240
» Um, they are getting inspected this week

51
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,759
on, um, some interior rebar and some

52
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,079
rebar on the south pad. Um, those

53
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:06,399
pending passing the the city inspector.

54
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:09,520
Then, uh, they hope to pour at least the

55
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:11,840
south pad this week. Um

56
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:16,959
and then

57
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:18,319
um they're doing some re um

58
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:20,319
uh checking some stuff with the

59
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:22,400
architect. Um but they yanked off some

60
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:24,959
plaster on the inside of the building or

61
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,480
the bathrooms and uh it doesn't look

62
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:27,440
like it's going to fit with the original

63
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,360
design. So they're probably going to

64
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,760
have to fur it out a little bit and then

65
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,760
and then throw some drywall. Um but

66
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,840
they're just making sure that that's

67
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:40,319
within the cost formula that that we

68
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:43,680
have going right now. Um, and then with

69
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:46,239
the park, um, with Las Muheres, uh, we

70
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,360
got the skate park guys out there. Um,

71
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:49,280
they're getting their construction

72
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,480
going. Uh, they started doing some

73
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,319
paving in the parking area on the, um, I

74
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,720
guess it's the Ninth Street side.

75
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,280
» Mhm.

76
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,959
» Um, right there by the jail. They've

77
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,200
redone some stuff right there. Um, they

78
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:02,879
had to pull some stuff out and, put some

79
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,760
stuff back in because the sidewalks

80
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:08,800
weren't uh, poured with ADA compliance.

81
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,560
But, uh, all that got fixed. So, uh,

82
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,800
they're moving right along. Um,

83
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,319
their big thing that they had is the,

84
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,680
um, portaloo, which is the outside

85
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:19,360
bathroom that's going in there. That

86
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,720
takes some processing time, but they're

87
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,360
anticipating that the end of June,

88
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,200
beginning of July. Uh, so, you know,

89
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,280
it's still falling right in the the

90
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,560
middle of their construction period. So,

91
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,760
u, we're not going to get bogged down at

92
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:35,040
all with that. Um over here at 303 at

93
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:38,319
the courtyard, um all we're really

94
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:42,959
waiting on is the gates. Um they had to

95
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:44,959
do a redesign because of um I think the

96
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:47,440
original design had the gate kind of

97
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:50,000
floating um instead of on a wheel like

98
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:53,200
on a track and the distance wasn't taken

99
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,400
into account. So now with the distance

100
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,400
uh they're getting one with the wheel

101
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,360
put on. Uh so they're getting that all

102
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,400
back sorted out. Um but even with that,

103
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:05,920
they're expecting that hopefully. Uh

104
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:08,799
fingers crossed this week. Um and all

105
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,720
they're doing is striping. Um putting

106
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:12,560
some some landscaping behind the bus

107
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,760
stop right there against the fence. Uh

108
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,320
they're going to replace the fence

109
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,840
slats. Uh make that all kind of look um

110
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,040
even the same, you know, all the way

111
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:24,320
across. Um and then once that done,

112
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,440
that's done. That'll be the first

113
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:31,280
project of 26 complete. Um we're

114
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,680
shooting for possibly this week. Um

115
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:39,360
worst case scenario will be next Friday.

116
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:41,840
Um with trying to get um Smart to come

117
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,080
on over um pull into the little bus

118
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:46,639
charging station, get some, you know,

119
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,919
some stuff for the social media stuff

120
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:51,759
and and uh show that we actually have a

121
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:55,840
fully functioning uh charging station

122
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:57,680
and um fleet charging all that as well.

123
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:01,120
Um, they did run into an issue with the

124
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,440
breaker. So, pending how fast that

125
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,199
actually comes in. Uh, it might not

126
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,280
actually be working for the picture. U,

127
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:10,080
but it'll be like the next week. Uh,

128
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:11,600
that's just, you know, way order the way

129
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,880
ordering goes. You know, sometimes you

130
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,720
get here when you want it, sometimes you

131
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:19,280
don't. Um, so that's that. Um the only

132
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,720
other thing we kind of had um you know

133
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:23,199
we've had day and error coming through

134
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,560
all this uh

135
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:26,160
all this grant paperwork and we're

136
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,000
starting to get a bunch of you know

137
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,240
reimbursements going and and getting

138
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,000
some money coming back to us. Um, we

139
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:36,639
were on a talk last week um with the new

140
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,240
agency that is doing our uh grant

141
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:43,039
management. Um, and they brought up that

142
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:46,400
based on our population, CDBG might be

143
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:48,479
giving us um formula money or might

144
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,400
should be giving us formula money

145
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:51,759
because of our population and we're DAC

146
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,000
and all these kind of things that kind

147
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:55,919
of meet this little criteria. Uh, so

148
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,840
they are looking into that and then we

149
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:01,039
will let you guys know what they come up

150
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:03,199
with. But uh that is all I have. So is

151
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:05,840
there any questions?

152
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:07,600
» I think I mentioned

153
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:10,560
» No, go ahead.

154
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:13,199
» That the charging station at the senior

155
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,680
center is that going to we're going to

156
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:17,520
eliminate that and charging is going to

157
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,240
go

158
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,479
this street.

159
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,039
» That's correct. As soon as um charging

160
00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:25,840
is fully functional at the courtyard at

161
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:28,800
303 um then we can charge our fleet

162
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:31,280
vehicles. Uh so we will decommission the

163
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:36,800
charging station at the senior center

164
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:38,639
and then with hopes that with the um uh

165
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,880
earmark funds that we received from

166
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:42,880
Carver Hall's office just replace that

167
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,160
with a pay to use charger so that we

168
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,199
don't eliminate the ability for people

169
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,080
to charge there.

170
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:50,400
» Um we just don't make it free.

171
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,720
» So that's the that's the plan.

172
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,039
» Okay. Thank you. Did you just have a

173
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,759
question?

174
00:06:53,039 --> 00:06:57,600
» Yeah, I did. Um, I know that David

175
00:06:55,759 --> 00:07:00,080
recently met with me last week in

176
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,039
regards to some concerns, um, in regards

177
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,440
to not having a recreation manager and I

178
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:07,599
still continue to get those concerns. I

179
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,199
wanted to see if there you can share a

180
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:10,639
little bit about if there is a plan in

181
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:13,680
place. I know that there's summer

182
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:16,800
recreation coming up. Um, kids are out

183
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,880
on school. So, um, you know, I just

184
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,479
signed up for the Junior Giants as a

185
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,800
coach. I want to see what that looks

186
00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:25,360
like. I know that um I got an email

187
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,680
saying that um that little league opens

188
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,680
up next week and so I want to make sure

189
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,280
that parents are in forformed. What does

190
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,160
that look like for them? They're going

191
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,479
to start making plans. Um and then um I

192
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,440
continue to get um questions in regards

193
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:41,520
to the horseshoes. I know that um when

194
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,199
we had the cleanup at the park, there

195
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:48,160
was some funding that went into

196
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:50,160
supporting um the park updates. And so,

197
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,759
um, also if you have any updates in

198
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,880
regards to that, that way I can also

199
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:54,400
share with the horseshoes. I think

200
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,599
they're just eager to get out there and

201
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,199
play. And, um, I think, um, anytime we

202
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:02,000
have a space for the community, that's

203
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:03,680
really important to keep maintained.

204
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,199
» Yeah. Uh, so we'll start with the Junior

205
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:09,520
Giant stuff. Um,

206
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:11,360
the, um, I guess he's the local

207
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,599
commissioner, uh, Fernando. He came by

208
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,680
today. Uh, I was not in the office, but

209
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:16,960
I intend to call him tomorrow. Um that

210
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:22,560
is not something that we're looking to

211
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:24,479
stop or postpone. Um but as uh you know

212
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,000
today being a council day, there's not a

213
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:31,120
lot of room for just random meetings. Um

214
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,399
so that's on the agenda tomorrow. Uh

215
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,399
because we need to get in touch with

216
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:36,719
him. Uh find out how many coaches we

217
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:38,719
have. Do we have enough coaches? Uh what

218
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:40,719
are the steps going forward? Um I think

219
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:42,719
they have a Slack channel that they do

220
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:45,440
their communication on. Um so we need to

221
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:48,959
get up to speed on that. and then uh

222
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:51,839
also start to get in touch with the um

223
00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:54,240
recreation commission and get them more

224
00:08:51,839 --> 00:08:56,720
involved and back on board uh with this

225
00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:00,480
whole process. Um

226
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,839
and then for the horseshoes uh the mayor

227
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:06,000
brought that up to me this morning as

228
00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:08,640
well. Um so we will start having the

229
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,360
maintenance guys go out and assess that

230
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:14,320
and get that back in operational order.

231
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,760
Um, you know, with it being a horseshoe

232
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,920
pit, it shouldn't take that long to

233
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,000
actually get functioning again. Um,

234
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,279
they're pretty simple stuff. Uh, there

235
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,160
should be like a one day turnaround or

236
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:25,120
so. So, uh, we'll get them out there,

237
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,839
get that going.

238
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,600
» That's That is pretty easy fix. There's

239
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:34,560
three horseshoe pits. Uh, Trust Pro

240
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,880
donated wood about a month and a half

241
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:40,240
ago for that and it's in the storage

242
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:42,240
area. And so it's a matter of uh just

243
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,640
getting the crew out there. And I know

244
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,600
the fence was down and then sand was put

245
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,040
there. Uh I I don't know about that, but

246
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,519
in a horseshoe pit, you have to have

247
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,920
clay in the actual pit or or

248
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:56,720
» I think that was added the clay when

249
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,160
» Inside um when we did the park cleanup,

250
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,040
um my I

251
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,120
» When was

252
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,920
» When we did the park cleanup, I had to

253
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,519
excavate all the sand out um probably 3

254
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,920
hours in there and then my father went

255
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:09,680
the next day um made sure that there was

256
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,160
already clay inside the horseshoe pit so

257
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:14,240
it wouldn't bounce. So my dad just mixed

258
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,000
it up and put it back in. So that that

259
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,160
does not need to be touched the sand

260
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,040
inside because it already has clay and

261
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,600
it's um approved to not bounce.

262
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,640
» So just is that the one closer to the

263
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,640
restroom?

264
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,800
» I believe all I have to ask him, but I

265
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,920
believe all the sand was fixed.

266
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:34,800
» No, there's I think there's three of the

267
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,079
boards that are down. So it's so it's

268
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,880
going to take more than just what what's

269
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:41,519
there now, but at least to get one one

270
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:45,440
going. Um and I don't know. I think our

271
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:48,880
staff put the fence back up and um that

272
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:51,040
should be an easy fix. So, and Fernando

273
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,959
is with who?

274
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,360
» Uh he is with the Junior Giants.

275
00:10:52,959 --> 00:10:56,000
» Oh, is where from San from San.

276
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,640
» Okay, good.

277
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,839
» Yeah, he uh Cynthia brought him over

278
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,079
this afternoon, but I was not available.

279
00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:04,480
So,

280
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:06,560
» All right. And then just to follow up,

281
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,480
um, one of my first questions was if we

282
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:11,519
had like a plan in place with not having

283
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,839
a recreation manager or will a plan be,

284
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:17,240
uh, shared with us as we move forward?

285
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:17,240
» Um, so

286
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,079
for the summer, which is probably the

287
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:25,120
actual concern, right? Um, giving kids

288
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:28,800
somewhere to, you know, hang out and

289
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:31,200
have fun. Um,

290
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,920
you know this

291
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,920
I'm sorry you're pointing.

292
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,880
» Thank you. Well,

293
00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:45,200
» So it's not live.

294
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,560
» Okay.

295
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,680
» I I don't know how to do it live.

296
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:49,920
» It's not live. So,

297
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:51,360
» But I'll I'll forward Shirley the email

298
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,120
with the link.

299
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,160
» Yeah, absolutely.

300
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,959
» Thank you. Um,

301
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,480
so with the plan for the summer, we're

302
00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:03,680
not

303
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,360
going to cut anything that's like say a

304
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,600
Wednesday and Friday drop in kind of

305
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,279
thing. Um,

306
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,680
and then if there's people here in city

307
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:12,880
hall working, uh, you know, like they

308
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,079
would come and play basketball and stuff

309
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,760
like that. I mean, that's not

310
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:18,160
necessarily something that we intend to

311
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,680
change. Um, but what I would encourage

312
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,279
is some of these other agencies like the

313
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,560
schools, the Boys and Girls Club to be

314
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,240
more proactive and get more involved

315
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:26,880
with their community, you know, because

316
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,839
city hall can absorb every activity. We

317
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,040
don't have the staffing, we don't have

318
00:12:27,839 --> 00:12:33,920
the manpower, we don't have the

319
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:36,000
supervision. Um, but we will try to keep

320
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,240
things going the best we can. You know,

321
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,560
we have outdoor facilities here. We have

322
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,200
outdoor facilities at Okonnell. Uh, so

323
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:46,160
there is locations where people can

324
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,680
participate in, you know, recreation.

325
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,519
Um,

326
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:53,279
I think as a city we're going to try to

327
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:54,720
maintain the Junior Giants the best we

328
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:58,160
can and have that our plan going

329
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,680
forward. Um,

330
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,920
because that's bringing structured

331
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:04,800
activities to the city, which is

332
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:09,680
probably what's really missing as far as

333
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:11,760
participation out of club. Um, so I

334
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:15,360
would say that is our focus going

335
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:18,160
forward. But to say, you know, a week

336
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,160
post the recreation manager, do we have

337
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,519
a direct plan in place to make sure that

338
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,160
every kid is taken care of over the

339
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:25,160
summer? We do not.

340
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,880
» Go ahead. Um hopefully by the end of the

341
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,480
month or um within the new next months,

342
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,200
it would be great just to make sure that

343
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,360
our recreation commission is up to date

344
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,800
so they're not feeling um left out or

345
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,600
anything as we move along with this

346
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,360
process.

347
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,760
» You know, according to the minutes, they

348
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,920
are updated in terms of what's going on.

349
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,720
So if you you see seen the minutes,

350
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,480
there's a the continuing activities.

351
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,600
So I think they're aware of what's going

352
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,200
on. But like the Junior Giants, uh first

353
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,920
of all, the field's ready. All you have

354
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,560
to do is add people. Uh, I don't know. I

355
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:03,120
don't know the numbers that were

356
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:04,959
registered. Um, I don't know if anybody

357
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,519
has that.

358
00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:06,880
» Okay. Yeah,

359
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:10,320
» I don't have that off top of my head.

360
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,519
» Okay. But the field's ready. It's 99.9%.

361
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,240
There's a couple other things we have to

362
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:18,240
fix, but it's ready to bases are in.

363
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:20,000
It's all level. All the dirt's in. Um,

364
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,120
everything's clean, ready, ready to go.

365
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,480
So, so in fact, people are out actually

366
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,399
using it now. They're out there playing

367
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,480
and practicing. So that's good. You said

368
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:29,600
that little league's starting.

369
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,680
» Did you say little league?

370
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,480
» The the one for here, the Junior Giants.

371
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,920
» For the Junior Giants.

372
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,519
» Yeah, correct. that's supposed to, you

373
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,839
know,

374
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:40,959
several months ago I uh Arniful couldn't

375
00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:43,199
go to the to San Francisco for the

376
00:14:40,959 --> 00:14:44,800
ambassadors meeting and I emailed them

377
00:14:43,199 --> 00:14:48,480
to find out how to how to get a hold of

378
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,399
that the ambassadors because you have to

379
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:54,560
there's specific things that the Junior

380
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:57,600
Giants requires for the coaching for the

381
00:14:54,560 --> 00:15:00,079
there's a a list of like the seven weeks

382
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,760
of you have to do this and perhaps

383
00:15:00,079 --> 00:15:03,360
Fernando has that and be good to get

384
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,480
information from him see what's you know

385
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,519
what's going on. So

386
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:10,000
» Yeah, it's my understanding that um the

387
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:13,920
Santa Maria like region or the Santa

388
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,160
Maria Valley I guess is um they did have

389
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,680
uh somebody who had attended all those

390
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,959
activities that the Giants had put on.

391
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,040
» Okay, good.

392
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:22,959
» Perfect. I I was just reached out by the

393
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,480
commissioners for Guadalupe and sharing

394
00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:26,079
their concerns. And so that's why I

395
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,240
bring that up because I did hear

396
00:15:26,079 --> 00:15:30,560
firsthand their concerns and we

397
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,160
previously had a joint commission um

398
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,760
joint meeting with them where they

399
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,040
shared that they kind of felt out of the

400
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,199
loop and they wanted to be more

401
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,120
supportive and so um just want to make

402
00:15:37,199 --> 00:15:40,720
sure that um we're supporting each other

403
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,959
during this difficult time.

404
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,680
» Yeah. Uh, you know, if you could, you

405
00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:48,399
could give them my phone number um and

406
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,800
email and, you know, they can connect

407
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:52,399
with me and we can talk it out on the

408
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,199
moment and see what kind of ideas they

409
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:57,120
have versus, you know, trying to pass

410
00:15:55,199 --> 00:15:59,040
everything through you. Ju just to make

411
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,160
it to where, you know, if if we can come

412
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,320
up with something a little bit quicker

413
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,680
and and get these questions kind of

414
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,720
answered a little bit more proactively,

415
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,519
then, you know, the it's ease

416
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,199
transitions.

417
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:11,040
» Yes. My last question. um would the

418
00:16:09,199 --> 00:16:13,040
commission meetings moving forward be

419
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,639
cancelled or are you going to continue

420
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,560
to have them? And if you're not going to

421
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:17,920
continue to have them, would you uh be

422
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,199
okay with reaching out with them and

423
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,720
having that conversation?

424
00:16:19,199 --> 00:16:24,399
» No, the intent is not to halt anything

425
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,720
with the recreation commission.

426
00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:26,720
» Okay.

427
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,000
» I I think the city needs the recreation

428
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,399
commission more than

429
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,040
» Okay.

430
00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:32,320
» Any other commission that we have going.

431
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,720
And I would be more than happy to meet

432
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,399
with him with the with the commission

433
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,880
because Joe when I talked to Joe Joe

434
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:41,680
Harris he uh he was concerned about

435
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:44,320
Wednesday volleyball and I think he was

436
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,880
he actually staffed it. So there's a m

437
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,399
it's a matter of you don't want to turn

438
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,120
that away because there's quite a few

439
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:53,839
people that play it that in basketball.

440
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,079
So it's a matter of of like David says

441
00:16:53,839 --> 00:17:00,399
just organizing it to see who can do

442
00:16:56,079 --> 00:17:02,880
what. So I think during this lapse that

443
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:07,199
there's people that will come to, you

444
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:09,039
know, come forward to to help out. So

445
00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:10,000
So is your dad still involved with the

446
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:10,799
horseshoe?

447
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,799
» Yeah, he's still

448
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:15,439
» So is he does he have a shovel?

449
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:17,120
» Yeah, he he took his own shovel to

450
00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:18,959
» He felt really bad actually cuz he

451
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:21,520
learned that um I was out there for 3

452
00:17:18,959 --> 00:17:22,720
hours with Mr. Navaro um and another

453
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,839
gentleman and he's like, "You should

454
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,079
have told me I would have been there."

455
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:27,760
So the next day he went out there um I

456
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:29,600
believe he spent two weekends trying to

457
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,919
um fill back the dirt.

458
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,559
» Well the thing about it in that instance

459
00:17:31,919 --> 00:17:36,799
there should have been a the a plan of

460
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:39,600
who's going to do what when and then uh

461
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:41,520
what the the resources are the like the

462
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,720
like there's wood there that's already

463
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:47,280
ready to ready to you know be placed and

464
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:50,400
that's not a hard thing to do. So thank

465
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:53,280
you Dad.

466
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,280
Any other questions?

467
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,160
All right, we'll go to item eight, the

468
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,960
director of public safety.

469
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:07,280
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor, council, staff,

470
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:09,679
and our community members. Um,

471
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,840
try to go down through this. Um,

472
00:18:09,679 --> 00:18:15,360
currently we're trying to update all the

473
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:18,360
cameras in the parks. Um, some are not

474
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:18,360
working

475
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,440
and maybe that one here too.

476
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:26,440
» Yeah. Um here.

477
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,440
» Yeah.

478
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:35,280
» Oh, hey Shirley. She can't hear. No.

479
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:37,840
» Okay. Um so, um we're still got some

480
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:40,640
parks offline. Uh and we're still

481
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,559
working on trying to get one system for

482
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,200
the whole city.

483
00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:47,440
Attended hospital board meeting. Um we

484
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:50,320

485
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:56,000
doctors that are coming online. Um, and

486
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:57,760
I spoke with um the president um Susan,

487
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,679
I forgot her last name. She's the

488
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,480
president of the uh Marian Hospital

489
00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:04,880
Board. And

490
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,360
» Thank you. And uh we're going to arrange

491
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,840
for her to come down to Guadalupe to to

492
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:12,240
have lunch so we can discuss some other

493
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:14,720
issues uh because we're looking at

494
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,520
trying to put on a health and safety

495
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:20,559
fair at Riverview. Um I've already went

496
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:23,760
down and spoke to um someone there in

497
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:26,559
the office. Um and I have a meeting with

498
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,799
uh one from fire, one from police uh so

499
00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:30,799
that we can put together uh what we

500
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:32,559
think some things they may need and then

501
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:35,039
we'll also include them and I want to

502
00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:37,919
try to bring some health officials from

503
00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:39,840
uh Marian. So that's uh the reason we'll

504
00:19:37,919 --> 00:19:42,640
be meeting with the president here in

505
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:45,840
Guadalupe having lunch.

506
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:48,799
also during the week uh um met with uh

507
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:51,440
Hancock president. Uh we were in another

508
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:54,880
board meeting and um he wants to come

509
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:57,840
down to Guadalupe. Um I want to talk to

510
00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:00,799
him concerning some um issues about

511
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,720
getting some of our kids uh to the

512
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:05,200
college and at least bringing some of

513
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,600
the resources here in Guad um at an

514
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,200
early age at our junior high level u

515
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,160
where it should be starting to kind of

516
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,320
get our kids into that thought process.

517
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,640
uh a lot sooner than waiting for high

518
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,120
school. So, uh he is looking forward to

519
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:22,240
that. Um I just got to set a date so

520
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:24,559
that he can come down and uh we'll tour

521
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,919
and talk about things here uh in

522
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:31,440
Guadalupe. I was in a a reb uh a u

523
00:20:27,919 --> 00:20:35,280
webinar this morning at uh 6 on on the

524
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:38,320
safer grant um that is opening back up

525
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:41,360

grant writer. Um, we have all the

527
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:46,080
information. We've applied before. Um,

528
00:20:43,679 --> 00:20:48,880
that could be three years that we really

529
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:51,120
don't have to pay for for firefighters.

530
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:56,400
Um, that could help us cuz we just lost

531
00:20:51,120 --> 00:21:00,000
our one uh PCF. Um, he's gone to the um

532
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,679
wildfires um for the summer. So, we're

533
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,440
going to have to look to try to fill. We

534
00:21:01,679 --> 00:21:07,840
got uh two potentials um that we hope we

535
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,000
can work out something to get them here.

536
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,600
Um, we had the Memorial Day event and

537
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,720
I'll leave that to the mayor to talk

538
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,760
about as far as um I keep saying Sunday.

539
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,640
Um,

540
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:21,760
» That that was Monday. Okay. Days kind of

541
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,600
flowing after a while. Um,

542
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,480
really good event. I'll tell you it was

543
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,880
uh and Ameilia was there and so forth.

544
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,080
So, uh, I'll leave that to you if if you

545
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,960
don't mind. Just give an update.

546
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,559
» A will do.

547
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,039
» Okay, perfect.

548
00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:37,520
um attended the uh police officer

549
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:40,240
memorial and at the Santa Maria Police

550
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,559
Department. Um very good event. We had

551
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,320
all the way from from LMPoke different

552
00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:47,600
departments that were there. So that was

553
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:50,400
the uh um as far as falling officer um

554
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,320
memorial that we had there. Um I

555
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,120
attended the I'm on the board of the New

556
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:58,400
Life K9 program. So, we were in slow

557
00:21:55,120 --> 00:22:03,360
talking about um

558
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:07,120
how to get um service animals to um

559
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:08,640
first responders and to uh veterans. Um

560
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:10,720
the only thing that really kind of came

561
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,240
out they um I've never seen the

562
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,919
commercial. Everyone talks about the

563
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,760
commercial. I have it's me and Debbie in

564
00:22:13,919 --> 00:22:19,120
there and uh they said it's been very

565
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,640
successful. So, um, I let them know if

566
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:22,480
we're going to they want to do some more

567
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:26,000
commercials, any commercials we're going

568
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:29,039
to film in Guadalupe. So, I says we we

569
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,520
need to get that put out in front. Um,

570
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:34,880
probation department as far as the

571
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:37,360
budget uh the budget work group um that

572
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,559
was going good, but uh they've had some

573
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:41,039
uh they're going to have some some

574
00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:43,440
deficits. Um, and at times that can

575
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:45,600
affect some of our youth that are in

576
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,080
that probation system for them to be

577
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:51,679
able to get resources. Um, but I'm going

578
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:54,640
to to uh those monthly meetings uh to

579
00:22:51,679 --> 00:22:57,600
make sure that um um kids that are in

580
00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:01,360
our area uh are are getting provided

581
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:03,840
services that they really need. Um, last

582
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:07,120
week I attended the uh Santa Maria

583
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:10,240
airport tabletop uh exercise with uh

584
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:14,080
TSA, Homeland Security. We had Santa

585
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:16,240
Maria uh FBI and everybody else. Um,

586
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,120
very good uh tabletop. It's something

587
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:22,799
that is mandatory on a regular basis.

588
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:26,559
And it was great to um

589
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:30,159
talk with the the the staff there. Um

590
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:32,799
we're in our ninth year of the contract

591
00:23:30,159 --> 00:23:36,400
um that we signed uh public safety and

592
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:39,200
and um the airport and you know we've

593
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,360
looked at um approximately over almost

594
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,400
about 600 something thousand dollars and

595
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:47,760
that's just revenue um that has come our

596
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,960
way. But um talking with our staff here,

597
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,400
there's some things that we need to

598
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:55,440
clean up so that we make sure that um

599
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:57,039
that is benefiting us to the best of our

600
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,120
abilities if it's if it's going to be a

601
00:23:57,039 --> 00:24:02,720
revenue generator.

602
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:05,200
Um public safety, fire and police. Um

603
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,679
we're going to be volunteering

604
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:10,640
this Thursday at Boys and Girls Club um

605
00:24:07,679 --> 00:24:13,840
at the mentoring event. Um so uh they

606
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:16,400
reached out to us to to head down there.

607
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,480
Uh we did this last year um in

608
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,640
conjunction with some of the Santa Maria

609
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,640
uh people. So um it's really good when

610
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,520
we have all our kids there and they'll

611
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,039
be sanctioned off with an officer or a

612
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,039
firefighter.

613
00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:31,120
Um

614
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:33,919
one uh police officer and one

615
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:35,919
firefighter um they're they've been

616
00:24:33,919 --> 00:24:40,159
tasked with putting together a kids

617
00:24:35,919 --> 00:24:43,039
outreach event. Um I discussed it this

618
00:24:40,159 --> 00:24:45,440
weekend with them and um they're they're

619
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:47,120
really excited. So it's more of just uh

620
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,120
getting public safety out into the

621
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:53,360
community and the community to uh really

622
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:55,360
get to know us. Um on a more

623
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:59,919
kind of ser oh well the last one before

624
00:24:55,360 --> 00:25:02,720
the serious note um after June 12th um I

625
00:24:59,919 --> 00:25:06,960
have a uh meeting

626
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:09,919
in uh Monaceto um with uh donors

627
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:13,120
regarding the Royal Theater um and some

628
00:25:09,919 --> 00:25:16,080
projects I talk with Dave about uh David

629
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:17,440
about the um opening and uh what are

630
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,760
some of those things kind of looking

631
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:24,799
like and um um they have some kind of

632
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:27,440
ideas that we want to put together. Um

633
00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:31,440
so uh I'll be uh they're they're in the

634
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:34,559
UK right now. Um I talked with them. So

635
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,799
they'll be back and uh we'll be uh

636
00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:38,960
meeting just to do preliminaries to see

637
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:40,799
what is the possibilities. Um they're

638
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,440
very much to see what like what they can

639
00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:45,760
do here in Guadalupe. And so to kind of

640
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:49,360
bring some of those resources up here I

641
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:52,000
think would be um very important.

642
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:55,039
Um, I just finished up after this

643
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:59,440
weekend. Um, met with pretty much or met

644
00:25:55,039 --> 00:26:02,640
with all fire uh personnel and met with

645
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:05,039
pretty much all police personnel, sworn

646
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:08,799
and nonsworn. Um, I think it's very

647
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:11,679
important uh regarding the budget. Um,

648
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:13,919
if it's going to affect people, then uh

649
00:26:11,679 --> 00:26:15,679
they need to be uh brought into the

650
00:26:13,919 --> 00:26:18,080
loop. Um, I gave them as much

651
00:26:15,679 --> 00:26:20,559
information that I had to kind of share.

652
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:23,600
And what I was looking for them is for

653
00:26:20,559 --> 00:26:26,320
their input. If I'm going to uh ask them

654
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,559
to kind of have some of this burden, um,

655
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,960
I think it's important for managers to

656
00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:33,440
be able to speak to all their employees

657
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,840
and see what their their uh, input is

658
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,000
and then formulate some. So after that,

659
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:41,360
I was able to put together a public

660
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:44,400
safety contingency plan for for the

661
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:46,480
budgeting. uh we kind of mapped out what

662
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,400
our critical department needs were and

663
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,400
what our deferred department needs are

664
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:53,840
and then we looked at all our uh where

665
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:56,320
revenue can be brought in um to be able

666
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,919
to maybe to support some things and to

667
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,919
hold off on some things. So, it was it

668
00:26:57,919 --> 00:27:04,880
was very positive and I think uh um the

669
00:27:01,919 --> 00:27:06,799
employees uh of course no one's happy

670
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:10,000
with it, but at least they're having a

671
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:11,679
voice and uh that way at least when when

672
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,360
things do kind of fall, they understand

673
00:27:11,679 --> 00:27:14,960
that that they're going to fall behind

674
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:17,120
this and and we're all going to head in

675
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,840
the same direction. So, u it's it's

676
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:22,480
important to to uh get their input and

677
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:26,159
feedback. So um kind of finally finished

678
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:29,360
that and uh they're also gave them the

679
00:27:26,159 --> 00:27:32,240
vision of uh what I see us moving

680
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:35,120
forward to for the next fiscal year and

681
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,520
the next two years after that um as far

682
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:40,000
as um some of the things that they are

683
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:42,240
looking for what I think that we should

684
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,720
be doing following from what the goals

685
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,600
are that the uh council gave us a couple

686
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:50,240
years back. um using that as the the

687
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,880
template so that way they stay focused

688
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:55,120
on what the mission is and what

689
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,120
direction we're going. So with that

690
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:58,159
that's my report unless there's any

691
00:27:57,120 --> 00:27:59,919
questions.

692
00:27:58,159 --> 00:28:02,000
» Any questions chief?

693
00:27:59,919 --> 00:28:03,520
» Thank you chief um for the comment in

694
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,120
regards to connecting with our

695
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,600
community. I think that's really

696
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:09,600
important um growing up in Gualupe. I

697
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,080
didn't have that good relationship and I

698
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,600
think that our children deserve that. Um

699
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,279
I want to also thank you for reaching

700
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,200
out to Dr. Walters. I think that's

701
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:19,600
really an important conversation to be

702
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:22,640
had. Um I've connected with the schools

703
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,960
in regards to um kind of this issue is

704
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,440
how can we um ensure our kids are going

705
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:30,080
to higher education. Um some things they

706
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:32,640
shared is that um I have toured the Lo

707
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,480
Valley the Loke um Hancock College and

708
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,159
the Santa Maria one. I went to the

709
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,240
public safety department. It was

710
00:28:36,159 --> 00:28:41,600
phenomenal um everything they had and I

711
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,840
think I even seen some action. Um but

712
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,440
seeing how they this um Hancock can

713
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,039
expose our community to the different

714
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,679
departments, I think it's really

715
00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:51,440
important. Um after I worked at the Dune

716
00:28:49,679 --> 00:28:53,760
Center for 10 years, I thought, "Wow, if

717
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,840
I would have been exposed to this career

718
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,760
earlier, I would have been a biologist."

719
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,600
Um so exposing our students at

720
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,720
» They were too late.

721
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,240
» Um is is really important. So if you can

722
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,399
just share with Dr. for Walters if

723
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,399
there's any way that we can um bring

724
00:29:06,399 --> 00:29:10,960
that exposure down to our communities,

725
00:29:08,399 --> 00:29:12,799
get our our parents exposed. Just as the

726
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,640
mayor mentioned, it's never too late. Uh

727
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:16,000
my partner is going back to Alan Hancock

728
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,399
College and I'm really excited to

729
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,240
support them. And so, um, if we can

730
00:29:18,399 --> 00:29:22,640
expose students early on to what

731
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,360
departments there is, um, the better.

732
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,520
» And, and that, um, maybe that's some

733
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:30,720
direction I get from you guys here is,

734
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,399
um, they've always offered and

735
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,080
got to be very straightforward is, you

736
00:29:32,399 --> 00:29:35,919
know, it's easy for me to explain to,

737
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:39,039
you know, to go be a cop, be a fireman.

738
00:29:35,919 --> 00:29:41,520
I want them to find other jobs. Um, you

739
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:42,799
know, uh, I'm proud of what we do, but,

740
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,960
you know, there's there's other

741
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:46,640
opportunities out there. And if we can

742
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,480
get them on field trips, you know,

743
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,279
especially, you know, someone who might

744
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:54,080
drive a bus, um, that can volunteer

745
00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:56,960
their time to be able to, uh, take a

746
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:59,600
group of, uh, young people to to some of

747
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,360
those, uh, campuses. Um, I think that'll

748
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,600
be great. I believe all third graders

749
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,039
here in Guadalupe actually do um I don't

750
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,799
know if it's called week of action or

751
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:09,039
bow or something along those lines where

752
00:30:06,799 --> 00:30:10,559
they go to Hancock and explore and

753
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:12,320
they're with their teachers but I think

754
00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:14,640
it it's a little a step further than

755
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,159
that um because they can go expose but

756
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,240
what does that conversation looks like

757
00:30:16,159 --> 00:30:19,679
with their parents um and their parents

758
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,760
telling them they can do that

759
00:30:19,679 --> 00:30:24,720
» And that's the key part is getting the

760
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:27,679
parents um because I I did a talk there

761
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:30,799
and I got to meet some of the faculty um

762
00:30:27,679 --> 00:30:32,799
and so they're kind of plugged in but

763
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:34,880
that's the key component is is the

764
00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:37,520
parents and some are either working or

765
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:40,799
whatever but um if I can find that tie

766
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,960
in so that we have not only the

767
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:44,720
community help pushing our youth but

768
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,520
then too when they get home so we have

769
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,200
24hour pushing them to the the direction

770
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,799
that they should go. So

771
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,600
» We'll work together on that. Perfect.

772
00:30:50,799 --> 00:30:55,360
» Thank you.

773
00:30:51,600 --> 00:31:01,760
» Did uh Mr. Walters talk about the

774
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:04,480
continuing um use of senior center or

775
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,840
the bridging the high school to college

776
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,840
because they've they've rented that

777
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,120
before that whole I don't know have you

778
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,520
been in there? I guess you have.

779
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,480
» Yes, but I did not see how that program

780
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,240
worked.

781
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,200
» Well, it they actually had teachers come

782
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,720
in and and

783
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,080
» That was a night school kind of thing.

784
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,080
» Yeah, exactly. So the high school

785
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,159
students went to the senior center and

786
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,799
they the whole that whole room is set up

787
00:31:24,159 --> 00:31:29,120
for classroom and there's no reason why

788
00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:32,640
that couldn't be for the younger

789
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:34,640
elementary age age kids also. So uh in

790
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,720
the past we had a contract with them to

791
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,799
be there. Well, I and only thing I that

792
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,799
that's great. And so if anyone here has

793
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:43,600
any of those, please send me like an

794
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:45,919
email so I can have bullets to so I said

795
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,559
these are our things and once I get that

796
00:31:45,919 --> 00:31:50,240
date down, um I'll make sure I send it

797
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:52,880
around and that way if someone has

798
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:55,519
opportunity to come and put something

799
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,120
like into his ear, the more the marrier.

800
00:31:55,519 --> 00:31:59,440
» Well, he's he's supportive of that. So

801
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:02,559
there's there's an actual with us the

802
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,159
city and and

803
00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:04,720
» And the teachers. So

804
00:32:04,159 --> 00:32:05,600
» That's great.

805
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,000
» More to follow.

806
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,360
» Okay.

807
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:13,000
» Any other questions?

808
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,000
» Okay. Thank you, Chief.

809
00:32:15,919 --> 00:32:19,600
» Uh we're now we're going on to item

810
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,200
nine, regular business, discussion,

811
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,200
direction regarding the proposed

812
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:26,480
Guadalipia Harvest Festival at Jack

813
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:28,320
Okonnell Park. Uh Mr. Trillo.

814
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,679
» All right. Uh Mr. Mayor, council

815
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:35,279
members, community, and staff. Uh so

816
00:32:31,679 --> 00:32:39,120
this kind of came to uh fruition a

817
00:32:35,279 --> 00:32:41,919
couple months ago um

818
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:46,240
about trying to bring a festival to the

819
00:32:41,919 --> 00:32:49,360
city of Guadalupe. Um a first kind of

820
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,760
first off for the Central Coast um a way

821
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,120
to kind of bring people to the community

822
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,399
that wouldn't normally come to the

823
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:58,480
community. Um and bring something about

824
00:32:56,399 --> 00:33:02,640
that maybe people in the community would

825
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:05,840
be interested in. um and what um

826
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:09,840
Austin and SlowCal Roots has kind of put

827
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:11,360
together here. Um so the intent is to

828
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,919
get some kind of direction on whether or

829
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:18,240
not they should move forward or they

830
00:33:13,919 --> 00:33:20,799
shouldn't. Um they're working with um

831
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:24,640
good vibes uh a slowcale management

832
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:28,880
company um like real marketers that do

833
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:32,080
this often um and they want to book real

834
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:36,159
bands um bands that have headlined areas

835
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:37,760
like you know the Monterey Festival um

836
00:33:36,159 --> 00:33:42,159
Avala you know different things like

837
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:45,200
that so these these they're in demand so

838
00:33:42,159 --> 00:33:46,799
if we want to have something like this,

839
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:50,799
they need to kind of get their marketing

840
00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:53,120
going. Um, this has a potential to bring

841
00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:56,480
10, 12, 15,000 people here to the

842
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:59,039
community uh over a weekend. Um, it is a

843
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:03,200
permitted event if it is to go through.

844
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:04,720
Um, potential earnings for the city

845
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,200
would be somewhere between $60 and

846
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:10,480
$100,000 uh depending on tickets,

847
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:12,159
parking, u various things like that. Um,

848
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,520
I'm sure Austin will touch on it here

849
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:17,760
shortly. Um they are aware that they

850
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,720
will have to cover all overhead for any

851
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:24,320
PD, fire, uh anything like that, any

852
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:25,440
overtime hours. Um and security um

853
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,280
they've already gone through all this

854
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,879
with chief about what the requirements

855
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:33,599
would be. Um and there is some planning

856
00:34:30,879 --> 00:34:34,879
going on uh some discussions with Bill

857
00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:37,359
um about whether or not it would be

858
00:34:34,879 --> 00:34:39,839
allowed, would it not be allowed for our

859
00:34:37,359 --> 00:34:41,200
municipal code. Um, our mun municipal

860
00:34:39,839 --> 00:34:43,040
code doesn't really hit on it all too

861
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,440
much, so it would fall under state state

862
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,599
code. State code says it's okay.

863
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,839
However, um, there may be other things

864
00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:52,159
that kind of get in the way. Um, I think

865
00:34:49,839 --> 00:34:55,679
Philip is doing some research on that.

866
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:56,800
Um, but that's all I got. Uh, Austin's

867
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,079
going to come up. He's got a little

868
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,040
PowerPoint. He's going to give you about

869
00:34:58,079 --> 00:35:06,960
10 minutes and then, uh, people will

870
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:09,760
move on. Let me uh you know normally um

871
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,599
what what should happen

872
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,520
needs to happen is actually let people

873
00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:15,040
know what we're talking about because a

874
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,720
lot of people don't have their agenda.

875
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:20,320
So I'm going to read what's what's going

876
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:21,760
on. uh a confirm the city's willingness

877
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,480
to move forward with the permitting

878
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:26,720
process for the proposed Guadalupy Green

879
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:30,000
uh Greens Festival at Jack Oonnell Park

880
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:33,440
and B authorize event organizers to

881
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:36,079
begin marketing and advance ticket sales

882
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:39,280
while permit conditions are finalized

883
00:35:36,079 --> 00:35:42,400
and C direct staff to continue working

884
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:44,560
with the event organizers to finalize

885
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,200
operational requirements, fee

886
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:50,160
structures, public safety measures and

887
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:53,520
regulatory compliance prior to final

888
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:56,079
permit approval and or decline to move

889
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,520
forward with the proposed festival. So,

890
00:35:56,079 --> 00:35:58,560
I just want to lay that out so people

891
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,520
know what we're talking about. So,

892
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:03,520
Austin, it's yours. Thank you, Mayor.

893
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,040
Um, council members, my name is Austin

00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,720
decades, working alongside local

901
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,079
government and local law enforcement.

902
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:22,079
But tonight, I want to talk about

903
00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:23,920
building something bigger, an event that

904
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:26,400
I believe can put Guadalupe on the map

905
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,520
in the way that this community deserves.

906
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,359
Before I walk you through the

907
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,359
presentation, I want to note that we've

908
00:36:29,359 --> 00:36:32,800
already completed full draft permit

909
00:36:31,359 --> 00:36:35,280
package, including site plans,

910
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,920
operations plan, parking plan, security

911
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,760
plans, etc. Um, all that's on file with

912
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,680
city staff. So, we didn't come here with

913
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:44,960
just a concept. We tried to come here

914
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:46,400
with a plan. Um, go to the next slide.

915
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,160
Um, I also want to say that we haven't

916
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,240
been working in a vacuum. Um, we've been

917
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,839
in close communication with city staff

918
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:53,359
throughout this process and I'm very

919
00:36:51,839 --> 00:36:55,200
grateful for the support we received

920
00:36:53,359 --> 00:36:57,200
from everyone um that we've worked with

921
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,040
so far and from the community response

922
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,720
that we've seen so far. I think it's

923
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,560
clear that Guadalupe is ready for

924
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:04,400
something like this. Um, so let me

925
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,720
introduce the Guadalupe Greens Festival.

926
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:09,920
Um, it's two days September 19th and

927
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:13,200
20th at Jack Ookono Park up to 10,000

928
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:16,160
people a day. An estimated 150 to 250

929
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:18,960
temporary local jobs at zero net cost to

930
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,480
the city. And go to the next slide. Um,

931
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,880
going to talk about the venue. One more

932
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,359
slide there. Uh, Jack Connell Park is

933
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,119
approximately 15 acres of flat open

934
00:37:25,359 --> 00:37:29,040
fencable land with existing

935
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:30,720
infrastructure already in place. There's

936
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,119
restrooms, ball courts, a covered

937
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:35,359
barbecue pavilion, and it sits naturally

938
00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:38,480
set back from most of the dense

939
00:37:35,359 --> 00:37:40,000
residential of town. And um because the

940
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,599
proposed parking would sit at Highway

941
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,440
One and West Main Street Quarter,

942
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:45,839
festival traffic would never touch

943
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,160
residential streets. Um I've looked at a

944
00:37:45,839 --> 00:37:49,680
lot of sites um for festivals and this

945
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,200
one, this one works. The boundaries

946
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,760
work, the access works, and the

947
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:56,320
infrastructure works. Um it was it was

948
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,480
kind of made for an event like this. um

949
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,640
go the next one which is the site plan.

950
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,960
Um this is just a working site plan um

951
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,720
drawn over the actual park footprint. It

952
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,960
kind of gives you a sense of how each

953
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:10,160
zone um would relate. There'd be a main

954
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:13,200
stage area, some food areas, a family

955
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:15,359
area, um a car show on the in the

956
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,440
parking lot there. And then there would

957
00:38:15,359 --> 00:38:21,040
be a cannabis village in the north

958
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,880
corner located on the ball field. Um,

959
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,119
what you can see is it's physically

960
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,800
separated from the main stage area if

961
00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:28,960
the site allows. And that's kind of the

962
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,560
closeup on the right there shows that up

963
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,760
there on the ball ball field.

964
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,520
» Is that the orange?

965
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,839
» The orange is actually the the other

966
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:38,000
ball field which would be the uh staff

967
00:38:35,839 --> 00:38:40,000
parking.

968
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,920
So the green with the kind of green

969
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,160
diamond shape, that green diamond shape

970
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,960
would be the consumption tent. So it

971
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:49,280
would kind of focus consumption inside

972
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,880
of a a tent

973
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,040
» Structure. Yeah.

974
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:57,920
» Be a pull a pull tent essentially.

975
00:38:53,040 --> 00:39:00,560
» So it have open sides but a covered top.

976
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:03,040
Um and then there's the cannabis vendors

977
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,800
located within there. And then the red

978
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:07,599
block in the top left that would be

979
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:10,560
where the cannabis sales took place. Um

980
00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:13,680
all by Route One underneath Route One's

981
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:17,680
license. um and a dcc permit which we'll

982
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:21,760
get into here in a second. Um

983
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:23,359
but um this would basically you know

984
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,640
this site plan still being refined and

985
00:39:23,359 --> 00:39:27,119
we'd continue to work through this

986
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,040
throughout the permit process um as

987
00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:31,280
public and staff feedback came in as

988
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,400
well. Um so this would be an all ages

989
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:36,240
event if you want to go to the next

990
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:39,599
slide. Um we'd have the main stage area.

991
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:42,720
There would be two food zones, um a kids

992
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:45,200
area uh located and fenced in and around

993
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:47,760
the existing play structure, the car

994
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:51,680
zone on the parking lot and a holistic

995
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:53,280
village area on the um basketball court

996
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,240
which would be like massage and

997
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:58,960
acupuncture and other type of uh of

998
00:39:56,240 --> 00:40:00,720
holistic um vendors. Um, and those would

999
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,240
all be open to every generation. Um,

1000
00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:03,920
except for this cannabis component,

1001
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:06,079
which would be the only fully contained

1002
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,240
zone, um, and completely separate from

1003
00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:10,480
the rest of the event. The food program

1004
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:13,119
would prioritize Guadalupe restaurants

1005
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,640
and five city businesses. The car show

1006
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:16,800
is built around the central coast low

1007
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,880
rider culture and the event is designed

1008
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,760
to reflect the community it is in from

1009
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:24,079
the food to the music. Um, go to the

1010
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:26,560
next slide. Um, on the talent, we are in

1011
00:40:24,079 --> 00:40:28,160
active negotiations with headlining acts

1012
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,160
like Revolution, Collie Buds, and

1013
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,760
Bington Levy. We haven't been able to

1014
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,440
sign any contracts yet, but I want to be

1015
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,359
straight with you. Um, we need to have

1016
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,280
the city's authorization first before we

1017
00:40:35,359 --> 00:40:39,839
can move forward with any of that. Um,

1018
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,599
because locking in talent at this level,

1019
00:40:39,839 --> 00:40:43,920
uh, requires us to make some significant

1020
00:40:41,599 --> 00:40:45,359
capital investments, and we can't do

1021
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,200
that without knowing that the city is

1022
00:40:45,359 --> 00:40:49,200
with us. Um, that said, these aren't

1023
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:52,720
cold calls, these are, um, established

1024
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:54,560
negotiations. Um and um we're ready to

1025
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:56,160
pull the trigger on that. So uh

1026
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,800
Revolution is one of the nation's

1027
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,480
largest reggae acts. They uh started in

1028
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,319
Santa Barbara and they have a deeply

1029
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,400
loyal touring fan base on the west

1030
00:41:02,319 --> 00:41:06,400
coast. So their audience travels and

1031
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,920
that matters for Guadalupe because those

1032
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,960
visitors would also be spending money

1033
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,720
here. Um Good Vibes are present presents

1034
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,800
our production partner has produced the

1035
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:16,960
Abila Avala Beach Revolution Show for

1036
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,480
the last 10 years. Um which we would be

1037
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,240
relocating here. So there wouldn't be

1038
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:23,200
the Revolution Show in Avala this year.

1039
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:24,720
It would be here in Guadalupe. Um so

1040
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,800
it's it's it has a 10-year kind of

1041
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:28,480
running start at least of this headliner

1042
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,720
and this this fan base here on the

1043
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,480
central coast. Um and other acts like

1044
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:35,520
Collie Buzz and Bington Levy would bring

1045
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:37,920
international credibility um and strong

1046
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,359
positive messages um with strong social

1047
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,760
media reach that would support our

1048
00:41:39,359 --> 00:41:43,040
marketing efforts as well. Um, so as

1049
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,520
David mentioned, the names on this

1050
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,280
lineup would signal to the regional

1051
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,920
music community that this is a serious

1052
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:52,400
production. Um, the full lineup is being

1053
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:54,720
built out, but uh, over 20 regional and

1054
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:57,040
local acts would would fill both stages.

1055
00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:58,720
Go to the next slide. Our production

1056
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,200
partner, Good Vibes Presents, is an

1057
00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:03,599
experienced national festival company. I

1058
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,280
already mentioned the Avala shows. Um

1059
00:42:03,599 --> 00:42:06,800
they've ran those for the last 10 10

1060
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,680
years and they also do festivals like

1061
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:12,000
Holo Holo Fest and Cali Roots which was

1062
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:14,240
just this last weekend in Monterey. So

1063
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,800
they would be replicating that same

1064
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:19,040
level of production infrastructure here

1065
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:21,760
handling staging logistics vendor

1066
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:24,079
operations and day of coordinations. Um

1067
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,680
they would work directly with our team

1068
00:42:24,079 --> 00:42:28,400
our harm reduction partners and

1069
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,079
Guadalupe PD as well. Um so I would be

1070
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,640
bringing the compliance and the cannabis

1071
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:34,079
operations as well as the dream and they

1072
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,160
would be bringing the production

1073
00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:37,680
experience but together um we are

1074
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,960
professional operation with a track

1075
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:42,560
record in this exact market. Um next

1076
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,640
slide.

1077
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,160
Uh safety and compliance. I know this is

1078
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,640
important and I want you guys to feel

1079
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,000
confident that we've uh been working

1080
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,240
will continue to work with Chief Cash on

1081
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,200
this but we feel like we have a a strong

1082
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:58,880
safety plan. to go to the next slide.

1083
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:01,119
Um, the DCC compliant cannabis village

1084
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:03,280
would be operated by Route One under our

1085
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:05,359
existing Guadalupe operator permit and

1086
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,359
our state retail license. So, it

1087
00:43:05,359 --> 00:43:09,280
wouldn't be a new operator um asking for

1088
00:43:07,359 --> 00:43:11,440
trust as we have already have a working

1089
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,599
relationship with the city. The village

1090
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,839
would be fully enclosed with opaque

1091
00:43:13,599 --> 00:43:17,280
fencing on every side. You would not be

1092
00:43:15,839 --> 00:43:19,599
able to see into it from the general

1093
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:22,319
festival area. There would be a single

1094
00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:25,040
staffed entry and a single staffed exit

1095
00:43:22,319 --> 00:43:27,839
where age uh would be strictly enforced

1096
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:31,359
21 and over with governmentissued IDs

1097
00:43:27,839 --> 00:43:33,680
with no exceptions. Um there will um

1098
00:43:31,359 --> 00:43:35,359
most likely be a DCC compliance agent

1099
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:38,319
from the state on site throughout the

1100
00:43:35,359 --> 00:43:40,800
event. Um cannabis consumption would be

1101
00:43:38,319 --> 00:43:43,200
limited to the designated cannabis

1102
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,680
consumption tent in the area within the

1103
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,760
perimeter of the cannabis village. Um,

1104
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,839
so no cannabis product or signage would

1105
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,079
be visible from any family area or

1106
00:43:49,839 --> 00:43:54,079
outside of the cannabis area and the

1107
00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:57,599
village would close 30 minutes before

1108
00:43:54,079 --> 00:43:59,599
the main stage uh each day. Um, we've

1109
00:43:57,599 --> 00:44:01,200
begun to apply for the event organizer

1110
00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:03,200
license with the state and the temporary

1111
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:06,800
event license would get filed with the

1112
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:09,119
DCC no later than July 21st, 60 days

1113
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:13,680
before the event as required. Next

1114
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:15,680
slide. Um, we would have uh BSIS

1115
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,800
licensed security guards. There'd be 29

1116
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:20,640
on Saturday, 25 on Sunday. Dedicated

1117
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,480
offers serves inside the cannabis

1118
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,880
village at all times. There would be

1119
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,880
overnight security um with exterior

1120
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,880
coverage on Saturday and full

1121
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:31,040
coordination with uh Chief Cash and the

1122
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,599
Guadalupe Fire Department and EMS

1123
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,280
throughout the event. Um for medical and

1124
00:44:33,599 --> 00:44:36,880
harm reduction, we would be either

1125
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,280
working with the Guardian team out of

1126
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,400
Santa Barbara or Jaw Med. Both are

1127
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,319
professional harm reduction

1128
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:45,119
organizations with proven festival

1129
00:44:42,319 --> 00:44:46,880
records. Whichever partner we finalize

1130
00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:49,359
bring would bring things like Narcan,

1131
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,920
fentanyl test strips, drink test kits,

1132
00:44:49,359 --> 00:44:54,720
wellness checkpoints, a sanctuary space,

1133
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:57,440
and an ambulance on site both days. The

1134
00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:59,680
Guardians track team uh record includes

1135
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:02,480
Soultopia and Santa Barbara this year

1136
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:04,960
with over 11,000 attendees with zero

1137
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:07,200
overdose fatalities.

1138
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,680
Um, next slide.

1139
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:12,720
Um parking. Um this has been a concern

1140
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:15,119
and I want to address it head on. Um we

1141
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:16,800
are proposing that the uh public parking

1142
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:19,599
would be at the highway one and west

1143
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:22,319
main street coordinate corridor on um

1144
00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:24,480
the pasada pasadera devel commercial

1145
00:45:22,319 --> 00:45:28,880
development lots essentially. Um we've

1146
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:30,400
received um initial um verbal um okay

1147
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,760
from the developer who's going to be

1148
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,839
working with the land owners to give us

1149
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,960
full authorization. But that is the

1150
00:45:33,839 --> 00:45:39,599
natural entry point um into Guadalupe.

1151
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:41,760
um where all three main travel corridors

1152
00:45:39,599 --> 00:45:43,920
converge. So attendees would park at the

1153
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:46,800
edge of town and take the free shuttle

1154
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,880
straight to the park um to try to avoid

1155
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,839
festival traffic on uh residential

1156
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:53,920
streets. Um so combined capacity across

1157
00:45:51,839 --> 00:45:56,240
those lots is approximately 2,800

1158
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:59,040
vehicles after surface preparation and

1159
00:45:56,240 --> 00:46:01,520
our Saturday peak parking demand using

1160
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:04,160
standard transportation methodology

1161
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,359
comes out to around 2,700 vehicles. So,

1162
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,839
we have a little bit of a positive

1163
00:46:05,359 --> 00:46:10,079
surplus on the busiest day. Um, there

1164
00:46:07,839 --> 00:46:12,079
would be a shuttle fleet on Saturday.

1165
00:46:10,079 --> 00:46:14,800
Um, would be 10 coaches running in a

1166
00:46:12,079 --> 00:46:17,280
continuous loop with about 1,750 riders

1167
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:19,520
per hour. Um, and we'd also coordinate

1168
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,440
with Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner stop

1169
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,280
here in Guadalupe. Um, which would

1170
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,760
hopefully keep a portion of attendees

1171
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,440
off the road entirely. Um, but all

1172
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,920
parking and shuttle costs will be paid

1173
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:33,520
for by the event with zero cost to the

1174
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:35,680
city. Um, next slide. Um now the

1175
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,680
financial picture um what what's in it

1176
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,000
for the city. Go ahead to the next

1177
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:42,160
slide. Um we we are proposing some

1178
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,800
direct revenue to the city. Um we're

1179
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,640
projecting approx uh somewhere around 60

1180
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:50,400
to $73,000.

1181
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:53,760
That would come from a $4 per ticket per

1182
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:56,400
day contribution. So $2 per ticket per

1183
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:59,200
day would go to a park improvement fund

1184
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:01,760
and $2 per ticket per day would go to

1185
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:03,359
the city's general fund. Um, in addition

1186
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:07,119
to that, there would be additional

1187
00:47:03,359 --> 00:47:08,720
alcohol sales tax. Um, the 4% cannabis

1188
00:47:07,119 --> 00:47:11,520
uh contribution from our existing

1189
00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:15,040
cannabis um business agreement with the

1190
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:17,760
city um on top of food, merch, sales tax

1191
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:20,079
um and other permit fees. Um, but every

1192
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:23,599
city operational cost from police, fire,

1193
00:47:20,079 --> 00:47:25,839
staff time um would be build um at cost

1194
00:47:23,599 --> 00:47:28,079
directly to us. The city wouldn't absorb

1195
00:47:25,839 --> 00:47:29,760
a dollar of that. So there would be a

1196
00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:33,680
net financial gain to the city of

1197
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:36,560
approximately 70 to $90,000 um when you

1198
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:39,040
factor in um the community benefit that

1199
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:42,000
we're also proposing which would be 50%

1200
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:44,960
of the food vendor fees would be um go

1201
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:48,560
to Guadalupe nonprofits um by our

1202
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:50,560
estimates that's probably 20 to $25,000

1203
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,079
um which would go to local organizations

1204
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,400
um and we're inviting the city to

1205
00:47:52,079 --> 00:47:57,040
participate in choosing which ones

1206
00:47:54,400 --> 00:48:00,880
receive it. Um

1207
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:03,839
go ahead the next slide

1208
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:08,160
would be um those are the the direct

1209
00:48:03,839 --> 00:48:11,599
numbers. The indirect uh

1210
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:14,640
impact would be is a little bit harder

1211
00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:15,760
uh to nail down but it matters for guy's

1212
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:19,760
long-term story. Okay. So, if you want

1213
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:23,119
to go one more slide, one more. Um,

1214
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:25,520
we're looking at roughly 11 to 14,000

1215
00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:27,119
total attendees over the weekend. That's

1216
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,800
a meaningful meaningful share of those

1217
00:48:27,119 --> 00:48:31,119
people are coming in from outside of the

1218
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:33,280
immediate area. They will stop for gas.

1219
00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:34,800
They will eat before and after the show.

1220
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,960
They will stay in Santa Maria or the

1221
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,559
five cities areas. Although there are no

1222
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,640
hotels in Guadalupe, but there are

1223
00:48:38,559 --> 00:48:42,400
spending that will happen here and the

1224
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,640
surrounding area that would not happen

1225
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,480
otherwise. Research on comparable

1226
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,880
festivals puts the regional economic

1227
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:51,119
multiplier at roughly $3 to5 dollars for

1228
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,559
every dollar of ticket revenue applied

1229
00:48:51,119 --> 00:48:54,720
here. That's somewhere in the range of

1230
00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:56,640
500,000 to well over a million dollars

1231
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:58,400
flowing into the region. Those are

1232
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:01,440
estimates, not guarantees, but they are

1233
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:03,119
based on real benchmarks. But the bigger

1234
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:06,079
long-term play is what this does for

1235
00:49:03,119 --> 00:49:07,839
Guadalupee's identity. A strong year one

1236
00:49:06,079 --> 00:49:10,240
puts the city on the Central Coast

1237
00:49:07,839 --> 00:49:12,480
Festival map. The reputation will

1238
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:14,160
compound, the event will grow, and every

1239
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,480
year it comes back, it will bring more

1240
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:20,000
visibility and more regional spend with

1241
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:22,079
it. Uh, next slide.

1242
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,800
Uh, four things that protect the city

1243
00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:27,520
completely. One is all operational costs

1244
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:29,760
are build to us. Two, our existing

1245
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:32,559
cannabis business um agreement already

1246
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:35,839
governs the cannabis contribution, 4% to

1247
00:49:32,559 --> 00:49:38,400
the city and 1% to nonprofits. Um,

1248
00:49:35,839 --> 00:49:40,400
three, full uh full event insurance

1249
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,160
naming Guadalupe as additionally insured

1250
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,559
with a minimum $5 million per

1251
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,880
occurrence. And four, the finance

1252
00:49:44,559 --> 00:49:49,040
director would have full audit rights on

1253
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:51,200
ticketing records and we would deliver a

1254
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:53,200
reconciliation report within 30 days of

1255
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:55,040
the event. Essentially, we're asking to

1256
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:58,079
be your partner and asking you, you

1257
00:49:55,040 --> 00:50:01,680
know, not asking you to take a risk. Um,

1258
00:49:58,079 --> 00:50:03,440
slide 20. So, what we're asking tonight,

1259
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,280
um, and I know it's not necessarily full

1260
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,040
permit approval, um, and that we're not

1261
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:09,119
there yet, but we want to respect the

1262
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,040
process, however that plays out, but

1263
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:12,880
tonight we would like, um, to confirm

1264
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,280
that the city is willing to move forward

1265
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,880
with the permitting process. Um, and

1266
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,720
that would be a green light to us to

1267
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:21,760
begin to form formalize everything with

1268
00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:25,119
the with the talent and um, everyone

1269
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:27,280
else. Um so two alo authorize us to

1270
00:50:25,119 --> 00:50:28,960
begin marketing and advanced ticket

1271
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:31,280
sales while we finalize permit

1272
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:33,680
conditions with staff. Um this is

1273
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:36,480
timesensitive talent negotiations,

1274
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:39,680
vendor commitments, marketing timelines.

1275
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:41,839
Um we need to be able to make the the

1276
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,359
capital investment to lock all this in

1277
00:50:41,839 --> 00:50:47,680
and that can't really happen without

1278
00:50:43,359 --> 00:50:49,280
your guys' approval tonight. Um, so

1279
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,559
three, I'd also like to schedule up

1280
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,319
follow-up working sessions with

1281
00:50:50,559 --> 00:50:54,800
planning, police, fire, and

1282
00:50:52,319 --> 00:50:57,040
administration to finalize everything,

1283
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:59,200
every fee, every operational detail

1284
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,200
before any permit is issue. We're not

1285
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,880
going to disappear after night. We'd

1286
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,440
also like to bring this back before

1287
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:08,160
council once a month um from here on out

1288
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,760
and then maybe meeting um twice a month

1289
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,359
for the two months leading up to the

1290
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:14,000
event just to give the council updates

1291
00:51:11,359 --> 00:51:15,520
and adapt to public input. Um, so you'll

1292
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,520
always know where the festival stands

1293
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,559
and what we're working on. Um, but if

1294
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,079
you can give us the green light to

1295
00:51:18,559 --> 00:51:21,920
begin, everything else would work get

1296
00:51:20,079 --> 00:51:23,520
worked out collaboratively with staff

1297
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:26,960
um, and you as a council as it

1298
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:28,559
progresses. Go to the last slide. Um,

1299
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,040
but Guadalupe is a city with a lot of

1300
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:33,599
character and not enough events to show

1301
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:36,079
it off. This festival is built to change

1302
00:51:33,599 --> 00:51:38,160
that. It's locally owned. It's locally

1303
00:51:36,079 --> 00:51:40,319
rooted with real protection for the

1304
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:42,559
community and real money staying here.

1305
00:51:40,319 --> 00:51:44,160
We have the team, the plan, and the

1306
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:46,079
commitment. We just need the

1307
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:49,040
partnership. So, thank you. And I'm

1308
00:51:46,079 --> 00:51:52,079
happy to answer any questions.

1309
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:55,280
» Thank you. Pretty detailed. Um, we'll

1310
00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:58,079
open up the council.

1311
00:51:55,280 --> 00:52:00,079
Jean, anybody

1312
00:51:58,079 --> 00:52:02,319
» Go ahead.

1313
00:52:00,079 --> 00:52:05,359
Um Austin, I really would like to have

1314
00:52:02,319 --> 00:52:07,280
had this information prior to uh tonight

1315
00:52:05,359 --> 00:52:10,240
to make a decision to say go forward or

1316
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:12,160
not go forward, but um absent all of

1317
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:17,000
that and listening to your quick

1318
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:17,000
presentation today. Um

1319
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:23,200
I like what you you I like the idea of

1320
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:26,079
having um a festival

1321
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:29,040
um and having the potential of having

1322
00:52:26,079 --> 00:52:31,920
outside people come into our community.

1323
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:34,960
um and all of that, the the wellness

1324
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:36,800
factor and uh etc., etc. And this is

1325
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,960
going to be weird saying this because of

1326
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:42,160
who you are and the fact you have Route

1327
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:45,520
One here. Uh I like all of it absent

1328
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:48,480
cannabis. Um

1329
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:53,280
I I think the city does need a festival

1330
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:55,359
and uh again, you've laid out uh with

1331
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:58,079
the band. I think that's really great.

1332
00:52:55,359 --> 00:53:01,359
Uh other cities have festivals that we

1333
00:52:58,079 --> 00:53:03,839
go to. We leave the city to go there. Um

1334
00:53:01,359 --> 00:53:08,559
so it would be nice to have u people

1335
00:53:03,839 --> 00:53:10,640
come here. I like the idea of uh

1336
00:53:08,559 --> 00:53:12,960
Pasadera and the shuttle and all of

1337
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:15,599
that. And you you've clearly put a lot

1338
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:17,359
of thought into this. Can I ask when you

1339
00:53:15,599 --> 00:53:18,480
first started talking about this with

1340
00:53:17,359 --> 00:53:22,000
the city?

1341
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:24,480
» Um I I had initial conversations maybe

1342
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:26,319
four to six months ago with the city. um

1343
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:29,839
that this was something that could

1344
00:53:26,319 --> 00:53:32,319
possibly, you know, be wanted and and be

1345
00:53:29,839 --> 00:53:34,079
needed here. And um I began to have

1346
00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:36,720
conversations with uh people in my

1347
00:53:34,079 --> 00:53:38,240
network and um I'd say about three

1348
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:40,319
months ago as when good vibes kind of

1349
00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:42,160
circled back to me and said, you know,

1350
00:53:40,319 --> 00:53:44,160
this would this would be a good thing

1351
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,920
and we'd like to move our Avala show

1352
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,680
down there and work with you.

1353
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,599
» Okay. Um but it's it's come about

1354
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:52,880
quickly. Uh um

1355
00:53:49,599 --> 00:53:55,440
» Where where I have some mixed feelings

1356
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:57,040
is um

1357
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,280
Christina was talk council member

1358
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:01,680
Hernandez sorry was talking about

1359
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:05,040
recreation and doing things for the kids

1360
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:08,240
and the mayor has quoted numerous times

1361
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:10,720
is it 30 or 35% of our residents are 18

1362
00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:13,200
and under thereabouts. So that's a a

1363
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:16,640
decent chunk of of uh our population

1364
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:19,119
here. um

1365
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:22,400
having a festival with even the

1366
00:54:19,119 --> 00:54:25,599
controlled cannabis tent and whatever

1367
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:27,680
you call that. Um

1368
00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:31,280
that that still doesn't bring me to the

1369
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:34,079
point of saying yeah let's go ahead. Um,

1370
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:35,839
so I'm I if I was to if we were to vote

1371
00:54:34,079 --> 00:54:38,559
on this today, and I I'm assuming we

1372
00:54:35,839 --> 00:54:41,680
are, I would have to say no just because

1373
00:54:38,559 --> 00:54:44,800
that little bit. Um, again, which is

1374
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:47,440
ironic because of you're having a

1375
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:50,160
cannabis retail store here.

1376
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,760
» So, Christina, any comments?

1377
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,839
» Thank you, Austin, for sharing this. I

1378
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:57,280
also would would like to have had this

1379
00:54:53,839 --> 00:54:59,119
um form um beforehand. Um I think my

1380
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,960
only issue is just that we have a policy

1381
00:54:59,119 --> 00:55:03,839
of no smoking here that was adopted

1382
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:06,400
recently. Um but I did have a question.

1383
00:55:03,839 --> 00:55:07,760
Are your um application event um are you

1384
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,960
getting that from the department of

1385
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,400
cannabis control?

1386
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,319
» Yeah. So the department of cannabis

1387
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:14,480
control um actually allows events of

1388
00:55:12,319 --> 00:55:16,400
this type. Um we would we would have a

1389
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,920
event organizer license which is a

1390
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:20,559
separate license from the retailer

1391
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:22,480
license. Um but it also needs to work in

1392
00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:24,800
conjunction with a retailer license. So

1393
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:27,359
only licensed retailers are allowed to

1394
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:29,839
do sales at the licensed event and only

1395
00:55:27,359 --> 00:55:31,440
a licensed event organizer is allowed to

1396
00:55:29,839 --> 00:55:33,920
hold the event. So route one would be

1397
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:36,559
both the licensed event organizer and

1398
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:38,240
the retailer. And then the event itself

1399
00:55:36,559 --> 00:55:40,480
would need to be permitted through the

1400
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:43,119
DCC. So the site plans, the layout, the

1401
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:45,200
days, the dates, um the times,

1402
00:55:43,119 --> 00:55:48,400
everything goes through um a strict

1403
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:50,640
approval process with the the DC as

1404
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,480
well. Um and they do have a lot of uh

1405
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:55,200
protections in place for the public as

1406
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:58,079
far as you know no visibility um

1407
00:55:55,200 --> 00:56:01,920
distance separation, ID checks, security

1408
00:55:58,079 --> 00:56:03,520
requirements, um etc. And um while there

1409
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,200
hasn't been too many of these events

1410
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:08,240
California, they are becoming um more

1411
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:10,799
common. Um just this last year um the

1412
00:56:08,240 --> 00:56:13,119
state fairgrounds um in Sacramento at

1413
00:56:10,799 --> 00:56:14,720
the California State Fair um had a

1414
00:56:13,119 --> 00:56:17,520
cannabis village and had a cannabis

1415
00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:19,839
consumption and cannabis sales area at

1416
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:22,960
the state fair just like we you know

1417
00:56:19,839 --> 00:56:24,640
hold here in Paso. Um, so I think

1418
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:28,400
there's some models and there's some

1419
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:30,000
examples of these events working um with

1420
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,599
at all ages events where you have

1421
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,680
families and you have, you know, the

1422
00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:36,640
general public, but you have a

1423
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:38,880
controlled, regulated, and safe cannabis

1424
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:41,440
area as well. Um, it's also been done in

1425
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:44,720
Golden Gate Park, um, at music festivals

1426
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:47,280
there that are all ages. Um, some in LA

1427
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:49,119
and some in Santa Rosa as well. I did

1428
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:52,559
look up I did do a research and I did

1429
00:56:49,119 --> 00:56:54,319
look up the county fair and um I think

1430
00:56:52,559 --> 00:56:57,040
the only concern with me is just because

1431
00:56:54,319 --> 00:56:58,319
this is such a close proximity to the

1432
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,640
park. I understand that you have

1433
00:56:58,319 --> 00:57:03,440
barriers but we are known for our dunes

1434
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:05,200
because of that that gnarly wind. Um

1435
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,760
while I was looking at the application,

1436
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:10,799
can you help me better understand um

1437
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:13,520
some of their permitting? Um, I looked

1438
00:57:10,799 --> 00:57:15,200
up the uh application on the website and

1439
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:18,319
it says that there is no sales of

1440
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:20,799
alcohol or tobacco strictly prohibited

1441
00:57:18,319 --> 00:57:23,839
at a temporary cannabis event.

1442
00:57:20,799 --> 00:57:25,839
» Correct. So the premise diagram for the

1443
00:57:23,839 --> 00:57:28,559
cannabis and the alcohol. So you can you

1444
00:57:25,839 --> 00:57:31,119
can have you can't have alcohol sales

1445
00:57:28,559 --> 00:57:33,359
within the cannabis premises basically.

1446
00:57:31,119 --> 00:57:35,760
So there would be no alcohol allowed on

1447
00:57:33,359 --> 00:57:38,559
the ball field. So there would be

1448
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:40,400
alcohol checks at the gate that the

1449
00:57:38,559 --> 00:57:42,319
entry points as well. So no alcohol

1450
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:45,200
sales, no alcohol consumption, no

1451
00:57:42,319 --> 00:57:48,319
tobacco sales or tobacco consumption um

1452
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:49,599
either inside the cannabis zone.

1453
00:57:48,319 --> 00:57:52,000
» Got it. So it's it's

1454
00:57:49,599 --> 00:57:54,960
» It's a separate premises. So basically

1455
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:57,280
it's a an event within an within the

1456
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:59,200
other event and inside that other event

1457
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:02,319
that there is no alcohol allowed.

1458
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:05,880
» Okay. Thank you for clarifying. Uh-huh.

1459
00:58:02,319 --> 00:58:05,880
» Jean, any comments?

1460
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,240
Um,

1461
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:17,280
like my fellow council members said,

1462
00:58:14,079 --> 00:58:20,640
this would have been good to have for

1463
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:26,079
our residents to kind of see more or

1464
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:30,000
less what you had planned out. Um,

1465
00:58:26,079 --> 00:58:31,839
I understand where my fellow council

1466
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,799
members are coming from, but at the same

1467
00:58:31,839 --> 00:58:38,240
time,

1468
00:58:34,799 --> 00:58:40,240
I look at it as an opportunity

1469
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:44,480
for our city to have something where

1470
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:47,280
people will come join enjoy the festival

1471
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:51,040
and whatnot, but also being able to

1472
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:55,920
spend money with some of our merchants

1473
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:59,040
restaurants here in down. Um

1474
00:58:55,920 --> 00:59:00,880
it looks like you've done a lot of

1475
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:04,319
schooling on this to get it. You've

1476
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:07,200
talked with our city workers. You've

1477
00:59:04,319 --> 00:59:10,480
talked with chief, you know, ironing out

1478
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:13,040
details and all. um

1479
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:17,839
not knowing how one of these ever goes,

1480
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:20,400
but to see how you have a section

1481
00:59:17,839 --> 00:59:23,200
dedicated strictly to the cannabis sales

1482
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:25,839
and stuff away from everything else

1483
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:27,680
bringing in um

1484
00:59:25,839 --> 00:59:31,119
I would be okay with going forward with

1485
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:33,440
this just because I see this as an

1486
00:59:31,119 --> 00:59:34,960
opportunity, but I also understand where

1487
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:37,040
residents

1488
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,680
and my fellow members come from looking

1489
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:41,760
at it from the other perspective.

1490
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:45,119
But a lot of times we do is we look at

1491
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:48,880
only the negative impact on what

1492
00:59:45,119 --> 00:59:51,359
something has and not looking at what

1493
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:54,960
positive can come from it. And I can see

1494
00:59:51,359 --> 00:59:56,799
this as being a positive for our city

1495
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,200
with something like this to bring in

1496
00:59:56,799 --> 01:00:01,119
maybe some other festivals that aren't

1497
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:04,480
to deal with cannabis, but to open the

1498
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:08,799
door for those venues to look at how it

1499
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:11,520
went, a blueprint of what can be for us

1500
01:00:08,799 --> 01:00:13,280
here. So,

1501
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:16,160
I like how everything was planned out,

1502
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:20,400
but I just wish we would have got this

1503
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:21,839
piece sooner so our residents who saw

1504
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:24,640
this on there could have looked more

1505
01:00:21,839 --> 01:00:26,400
into it to kind of understand, but yeah,

1506
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,240
» Understandable.

1507
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:32,079
Okay, if I don't sure, go ahead. And

1508
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:34,960
just to what you said, uh, Jean,

1509
01:00:32,079 --> 01:00:38,559
um,

1510
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:40,559
back to Yeah, I agree that we have a

1511
01:00:38,559 --> 01:00:44,160
deficit. Revenue is revenue. I

1512
01:00:40,559 --> 01:00:45,760
understand that. Um,

1513
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:48,240
I just lost my train of thought. Hang

1514
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:51,760
on. Give me a minute.

1515
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:54,000
Don't make a comment about why. Um,

1516
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:56,880
oh jeez.

1517
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:00,240
Oh, you were uh Jean was talking about

1518
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:02,640
um having our we always look at we may

1519
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:04,000
look at the negatives and uh we should

1520
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:07,119
look at some of the positives and so

1521
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:09,920
forth. I I would think that uh the city

1522
01:01:07,119 --> 01:01:11,839
has not have had a festival um to my

1523
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,079
understanding. I don't think city has

1524
01:01:11,839 --> 01:01:13,200
ever

1525
01:01:12,079 --> 01:01:14,480
» Harvest festival.

1526
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,480
» Oh, I wasn't here then

1527
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,200
» With fruit. No, you

1528
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:17,599
» Vegetables.

1529
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,799
» Oh,

1530
01:01:17,599 --> 01:01:22,720
» Okay. Uh but in terms of an overall

1531
01:01:20,799 --> 01:01:25,440
festival with bands and and you know all

1532
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:28,720
that type of thing, I I think the first

1533
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:34,559
one that we should have should be absent

1534
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:36,319
the cannabis for the um community to um

1535
01:01:34,559 --> 01:01:39,040
uh just have their first taste at at

1536
01:01:36,319 --> 01:01:41,200
that. I know Tina talking about the the

1537
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,839
I I was here the vegetable. Yes.

1538
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:42,640
» Yeah. Um

1539
01:01:41,839 --> 01:01:45,119
» Right.

1540
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:46,799
» Yeah, I was there. Were they they bowled

1541
01:01:45,119 --> 01:01:48,000
with cabbage? Okay. Yeah, I was

1542
01:01:46,799 --> 01:01:50,160
» Said salad bowl. That's

1543
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,680
» Saladable. Thank you.

1544
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:54,480
» How we went. Yeah.

1545
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:58,079
» Okay. Um, so I I agree with what you're

1546
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:59,680
saying that uh I don't whether we say

1547
01:01:58,079 --> 01:02:02,559
anything that brings in revenue should

1548
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:06,319
be good to the city. Um, there should be

1549
01:02:02,559 --> 01:02:09,839
some qualifying u statements with that.

1550
01:02:06,319 --> 01:02:13,359
Um, a festival, yes. I I will repeat a

1551
01:02:09,839 --> 01:02:15,200
festival, yes. Um, even if we had a

1552
01:02:13,359 --> 01:02:16,480
regular festival, we still will get

1553
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,559
negative comments from residents,

1554
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:21,280
whatever. The noise is too loud and and

1555
01:02:18,559 --> 01:02:25,200
all things like that. I think this is

1556
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:27,040
has a bit too much um,

1557
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,440
lack of a better word, negativity around

1558
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:32,480
it that residents will look at again

1559
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:33,839
strictly because of the cannabis. My my

1560
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:36,319
opinion only.

1561
01:02:33,839 --> 01:02:38,240
» I think previously we did have a a small

1562
01:02:36,319 --> 01:02:40,400
mini festival for Fourth of July. We had

1563
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:42,480
a concert at McKenzie and I believe like

1564
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:45,440
Dominator came. I was young so I thought

1565
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:47,839
that was a big concert.

1566
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:50,000
» Um but I do have a question for Mr.

1567
01:02:47,839 --> 01:02:52,640
Sinko. Um is this something that the

1568
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:55,760
city should uh consider for future

1569
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:58,319
establishing like a staffing uh permit

1570
01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:00,400
or a special event permit? I know that

1571
01:02:58,319 --> 01:03:02,160
uh chief has spent some time already on

1572
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,240
this, but I don't see that on the fiscal

1573
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:06,319
impact and wondering if we should have

1574
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:08,160
like a standard for future largescale

1575
01:03:06,319 --> 01:03:09,920
events if if that's what we're that's

1576
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,960
what council is hoping to have here

1577
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:14,319
more.

1578
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:17,119
» Um excuse me, council member Hernandez.

1579
01:03:14,319 --> 01:03:19,440
Yes, I've spoken with our director of

1580
01:03:17,119 --> 01:03:21,280
planning uh or yeah, director of

1581
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:24,160
planning, Larry Apple, on this topic

1582
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:26,720
before. Uh there's been a couple of

1583
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:29,119
times we've had need of a special events

1584
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:30,880
permit and we've just, you know, done

1585
01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:33,680
this process by coming to the council

1586
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:35,440
directly. Um

1587
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,920
and I've spoken with Bill Scott about

1588
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:39,280
the wisdom of that. He agrees and it is

1589
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:42,480
something that I'm pretty sure they're

1590
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:44,720
going to move forward on u as a separate

1591
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:48,000
ordinance, a standalone special events

1592
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:50,079
ordinance. Uh Santa Maria has one and

1593
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Mr. Appo was aware of that. It it came

1594
01:03:50,079 --> 01:03:54,160
in handy. they had circuses would come

1595
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:56,480
into town and we would use the special

1596
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:58,880
events permit uh process, a temporary

1597
01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:00,480
use permit. So yes, there's wisdom in

1598
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,760
that and I and staff is aware that

1599
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,760
there's a need for it.

1600
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:06,559
» Okay, perfect. And I know that we

1601
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:08,160
previously adopted a no smoking policy.

1602
01:04:06,559 --> 01:04:08,799
How does that work hand inand with this

1603
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,280
event?

1604
01:04:08,799 --> 01:04:12,640
» Um I was looking at that um while the

1605
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,559
rest of the meeting was going on earlier

1606
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:19,920
because I I had a feeling that would

1607
01:04:14,559 --> 01:04:21,680
come up. Um the park policy

1608
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:24,400
I I looked at it and it does say that

1609
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:27,920
there's no smoking tobacco, marijuana,

1610
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:29,839
you know that in a public park, but um

1611
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:34,160
it also says there's no alcohol allowed

1612
01:04:29,839 --> 01:04:35,839
in parks um or in certain public places

1613
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:38,079
except permits can be granted to

1614
01:04:35,839 --> 01:04:40,400
override that. So I imagine if the

1615
01:04:38,079 --> 01:04:44,240
council wanted to interpret its

1616
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:46,720
ordinance in a way that uh consumption

1617
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:48,640
uh smoking of marijuana in a canop's

1618
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,400
village was something that could be

1619
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:53,520
legally done with a special events

1620
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:55,039
permit and if we had a special events

1621
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:58,240
ordinance that would answer that

1622
01:04:55,039 --> 01:04:59,920
question. Um, I think that the council

1623
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:02,000
could move could pro could proceed

1624
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:03,920
legally on that because I think that the

1625
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:07,039
law the spirit of that law is to prevent

1626
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:10,079
individuals from occupying the park

1627
01:05:07,039 --> 01:05:11,920
that's open to everybody and smoking

1628
01:05:10,079 --> 01:05:14,559
cigarettes or marijuana. It's not really

1629
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:17,440
intended to apply to a special special

1630
01:05:14,559 --> 01:05:19,520
events permit with a festival and

1631
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:21,839
permitting in a separate cannabis area.

1632
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:23,920
So, I think there's wiggle room for the

1633
01:05:21,839 --> 01:05:25,760
can for the council to uh to act if it

1634
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,880
wishes, but it's a little bit of a gray

1635
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:30,240
area right now.

1636
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:35,440
» Okay. Thank you. Um I know that there is

1637
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:36,960
like a 2% um financial help or parks,

1638
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,559
but does that mean um because I'm

1639
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:40,240
looking at parking and it's kind of in

1640
01:05:38,559 --> 01:05:41,920
that dirt law and I'm like, "Oh no, I've

1641
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:44,240
seen people get stuck in the baseball

1642
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:46,400
fields. That does heavy damage to our

1643
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:49,200
parks." Um and I want to avoid any

1644
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:51,839
damage. Um, do do you guys have

1645
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,400
» Uh So it's not 2%, it's $2 per ticket.

1646
01:05:51,839 --> 01:05:55,440
» Okay.

1647
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:57,039
» Um, so it could be drastically more than

1648
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:59,119
2%. Um,

1649
01:05:57,039 --> 01:06:00,960
» But that's not to cover cost damage.

1650
01:05:59,119 --> 01:06:01,280
That's to support other parks. Is that

1651
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,160
correct?

1652
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:07,039
» No, that would be for essentially to

1653
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:09,440
return the park to the condition it was

1654
01:06:07,039 --> 01:06:10,480
in before the event.

1655
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,480
» Okay.

1656
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:14,880
No, we would return the park to the

1657
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:17,599
condition before it was before the event

1658
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:19,920
on at our cost and that $2 would go to

1659
01:06:17,599 --> 01:06:21,520
future park improvements was our goal.

1660
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,119
» Even better.

1661
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,720
» We want to try to we want to try to make

1662
01:06:23,119 --> 01:06:26,319
the park better each year with this

1663
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:28,240
event. Um, and the parking that's

1664
01:06:26,319 --> 01:06:30,799
proposed for staff parking is right now

1665
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:33,680
is the unused B baseball diamond and

1666
01:06:30,799 --> 01:06:35,839
it's it's pretty overgrown and ungraded

1667
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,760
and so there would be some actual site

1668
01:06:35,839 --> 01:06:40,559
improvement to even get it ready for

1669
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:43,119
parking. Um, so this first year it would

1670
01:06:40,559 --> 01:06:45,359
probably be left closer to a usable

1671
01:06:43,119 --> 01:06:48,400
state than it is currently right now in

1672
01:06:45,359 --> 01:06:49,920
the overgrown kind of ungraded

1673
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:52,799
» And and that's kind of the same thing

1674
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:55,200
along um I think that's what they told

1675
01:06:52,799 --> 01:06:55,680
you at Pasadera as well, right? They

1676
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,280
even have

1677
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:59,039
» Yeah, we Yeah, we would do pregrading

1678
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:01,760
and site prep there as well to make sure

1679
01:06:59,039 --> 01:07:03,599
that you know

1680
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:05,839
um and you know first year I think that

1681
01:07:03,599 --> 01:07:07,839
money could go into the the big green

1682
01:07:05,839 --> 01:07:10,160
field maybe and and the gopher issues

1683
01:07:07,839 --> 01:07:12,480
and there's there's plenty of needs

1684
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:16,000
there. Um, so that we see this as an

1685
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:19,119
opportunity and um, I do understand the

1686
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:20,640
the concerns over cannabis and um, maybe

1687
01:07:19,119 --> 01:07:22,640
we could separate the music and the

1688
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:25,920
cannabis now and leave that for future

1689
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:29,599
discussion um, and public input um, as

1690
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:31,839
as we get closer.

1691
01:07:29,599 --> 01:07:35,359
There's uh thank you council for

1692
01:07:31,839 --> 01:07:37,039
comments and and discussions and I and I

1693
01:07:35,359 --> 01:07:38,880
I've talked to Austin about this before

1694
01:07:37,039 --> 01:07:40,480
that there was something coming uh

1695
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:42,960
forward

1696
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:46,559
uh and it did come forward and it's

1697
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:47,920
huge. Uh I just wanted one one item I

1698
01:07:46,559 --> 01:07:50,240
wanted to make sure that we had there's

1699
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:54,000
two public comments

1700
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:55,200
uh opposing this and one is from uh I'm

1701
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,599
not even going to name the name but

1702
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:59,119
anyway they're talking about reputation

1703
01:07:57,599 --> 01:08:01,520
talking about public safety talking

1704
01:07:59,119 --> 01:08:04,960
about police toxic talking about

1705
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:06,880
intoxicated driving normalizing

1706
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:09,760
uh cannabis

1707
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:12,880
um our youth. The other one that with

1708
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:15,119
one was from uh tobacco prevention and

1709
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:17,759
cannabis education which we've been

1710
01:08:15,119 --> 01:08:19,679
trying to to push in terms of for for

1711
01:08:17,759 --> 01:08:21,839
the kids and stuff. This kind of sends

1712
01:08:19,679 --> 01:08:23,920
an opposite an opposite message that

1713
01:08:21,839 --> 01:08:27,120
it's okay to go ahead and and have an

1714
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:29,120
event in a community like Guadalupe uh

1715
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:31,600
when they're when we're we've been

1716
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:34,960
pushing and so as a schools uh you know

1717
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:36,560
uh tobacco prevention and cannabis

1718
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:39,359
education.

1719
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:41,679
Um several things. one is uh when is the

1720
01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:43,040
16th of September? When is that going to

1721
01:08:41,679 --> 01:08:48,560
happen? Is that going to be the 15th,

1722
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:54,719
the 14th or the week before? Um

1723
01:08:48,560 --> 01:09:00,640
okay. The you know, one of the things

1724
01:08:54,719 --> 01:09:02,000
looking at our community is 86% Latino.

1725
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,679
90% of the people that are going to be

1726
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,920
coming in aren't Latino, which is fine.

1727
01:09:03,679 --> 01:09:11,199
I don't care what nationality they are.

1728
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:14,159
But when you have 60 6,500 people um

1729
01:09:11,199 --> 01:09:17,040
coming at a you know you mentioned 11 11

1730
01:09:14,159 --> 01:09:20,159
to 14,000 people in that two-day two-day

1731
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:23,440
event. Our population is 8,700. So

1732
01:09:20,159 --> 01:09:26,239
basically there's more people coming

1733
01:09:23,440 --> 01:09:29,040
into this than there is population.

1734
01:09:26,239 --> 01:09:31,839
Your map shows Kaya Caesar Chavez which

1735
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:34,080
is may may be l

1736
01:09:31,839 --> 01:09:37,199
renamed in the future. That's all

1737
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:39,199
residential area and every sound

1738
01:09:37,199 --> 01:09:42,239
that comes from this event here is going

1739
01:09:39,199 --> 01:09:46,000
to go through all of Guadalupe.

1740
01:09:42,239 --> 01:09:48,000
It's gonna it's um you you can play uh

1741
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,520
and chief knows about this. You you play

1742
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,400
music down at Point Cell Dunes.

1743
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:54,560
Everybody's going to hear it all the way

1744
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:57,280
to Treasure Park. My concern is the

1745
01:09:54,560 --> 01:10:01,199
impact that it has on a residents

1746
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:05,360
in that area and in the perception of

1747
01:10:01,199 --> 01:10:07,520
using cannabis as a as a draw to a

1748
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:09,600
community like VIP. I I I don't have any

1749
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:12,239
problems in in those who consume

1750
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:15,120
cannabis. Uh that that's that's not a

1751
01:10:12,239 --> 01:10:17,920
problem. It's legal. Uh but I I think

1752
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:19,520
this event is too huge for for

1753
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:23,679
Guadalupe.

1754
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:25,280
Uh, one is that, um, and I'm I spent a

1755
01:10:23,679 --> 01:10:27,360
lot of time at that park and looking at

1756
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:29,360
the right where you have that that tent

1757
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,560
there's that'd be nice to have you there

1758
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,400
because you'd kill the gophers because

1759
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:36,480
there's a lot of gophers there.

1760
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:39,199
» But the park is a park for a community.

1761
01:10:36,480 --> 01:10:42,719
We had several weeks ago, several months

1762
01:10:39,199 --> 01:10:45,199
ago, we had an event just at the b that

1763
01:10:42,719 --> 01:10:48,400
little purple area on your map, that

1764
01:10:45,199 --> 01:10:50,560
basketball court, just basketball there.

1765
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:54,239
there was no parking and I know you have

1766
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:57,040
plans for parking elsewhere. Um

1767
01:10:54,239 --> 01:10:58,640
the you know we talk about there's going

1768
01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:01,280
to be a lot of staffing, police

1769
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:04,800
protection, stuff like that at this

1770
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:06,320
point in in our time in terms of and

1771
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,719
we're going to talk about the the budget

1772
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:10,080
soon is I don't think we can handle it

1773
01:11:08,719 --> 01:11:13,679
even though there's going to be money

1774
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:16,400
for that. It's just too it's too much

1775
01:11:13,679 --> 01:11:18,080
too soon uh for a community like

1776
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:22,320
Guadalupe and it sends a message that

1777
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:25,199
says okay it's to me uh and I think I'll

1778
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:26,880
echo what Amelia says

1779
01:11:25,199 --> 01:11:31,280
oh it's okay to use cannabis when we're

1780
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:33,280
trying to get the kids uh the youngsters

1781
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:36,080
those that are underage not to use it

1782
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:39,199
and they do use it I have a I'm not

1783
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:41,679
going to say who uh I won't even go

1784
01:11:39,199 --> 01:11:44,640
there but there's there's

1785
01:11:41,679 --> 01:11:47,199
too much youth consumption of tobacco

1786
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:49,280
illegally. It's not your fault. It's not

1787
01:11:47,199 --> 01:11:50,560
it's not the community in general's

1788
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:53,600
fault. It's some of the maybe the

1789
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:55,440
parents or the kids. But I think first

1790
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:58,080
of all, it's too big for Guadalupe.

1791
01:11:55,440 --> 01:12:00,000
That's that's my opinion. It's too soon

1792
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,360
to actually say, "Okay, go ahead and go

1793
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,600
ahead and plan this out because you put

1794
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:06,159
a lot of detail into this. You have a

1795
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:09,760
lot of folks that are ready to basically

1796
01:12:06,159 --> 01:12:12,640
sign on uh perhaps. But I think that if

1797
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:14,239
if we say let's go with it and then

1798
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:16,719
regret it, it's going to hurt it's going

1799
01:12:14,239 --> 01:12:19,280
to hurt our community. Uh it's going to

1800
01:12:16,719 --> 01:12:20,880
hurt our community in terms of you know,

1801
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:23,120
we're a farmworker community and and you

1802
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:27,280
know that um just what is that going to

1803
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:31,199
what does that say to a community um

1804
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:33,280
that we allow this and and again it's

1805
01:12:31,199 --> 01:12:35,920
just too big. I think if it was smaller

1806
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:38,719
and is more more confined to a certain

1807
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:40,640
area that didn't take up all the room,

1808
01:12:38,719 --> 01:12:43,600
you're going to have all the traffic

1809
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:46,239
that you're going to have between Pasad

1810
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:48,159
and and in Guadalupe on a Saturday and a

1811
01:12:46,239 --> 01:12:52,640
Sunday, I'm assuming it's a Saturday and

1812
01:12:48,159 --> 01:12:54,320
Sunday, um it's going to be even though

1813
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:56,640
they're there there's going to be

1814
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:59,120
transit for them, it's still going to be

1815
01:12:56,640 --> 01:13:00,880
uh people have to get there and and uh

1816
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:03,920
and and leave and that's going to be

1817
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:06,719
it's going and it hit Highway 1 and 166

1818
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:09,040
pretty heavily. I think just bottom line

1819
01:13:06,719 --> 01:13:12,000
I think it's it's it says to the

1820
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:14,239
community we're we're okay to have and I

1821
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:17,760
think I echo in what what Mr. Figos is

1822
01:13:14,239 --> 01:13:21,440
saying is that it's okay if we say yes

1823
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:23,440
to cannabis then that drives to the kids

1824
01:13:21,440 --> 01:13:25,440
while the adults are doing it then why

1825
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:28,159
not why why shouldn't we be able to do

1826
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:30,640
it although they know it's illegal but

1827
01:13:28,159 --> 01:13:34,880
at this point I would say I would

1828
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:36,239
decline that I know that uh I I am

1829
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:38,480
supportive of what you what you're doing

1830
01:13:36,239 --> 01:13:40,560
there in in your in the businesses you

1831
01:13:38,480 --> 01:13:43,199
got and I think it's helpful for the

1832
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:46,239
community but it's just too it's just

1833
01:13:43,199 --> 01:13:48,480
too big for for us at this point. Maybe

1834
01:13:46,239 --> 01:13:49,920
in the future when we can work out some

1835
01:13:48,480 --> 01:13:52,239
of the details than if it were smaller

1836
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:53,679
and I know you have some big ticket

1837
01:13:52,239 --> 01:13:56,400
players that are coming to that that's

1838
01:13:53,679 --> 01:13:58,719
going to draw those those individuals

1839
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,719
and in order to make it make a go of it

1840
01:13:58,719 --> 01:14:03,120
you have to have those people. So

1841
01:14:00,719 --> 01:14:04,960
there's that catch 22. You can have the

1842
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:07,760
group, but it then it impacts community

1843
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:10,640
and uh more than physically, but in

1844
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:14,320
terms of where we stand with with with

1845
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:17,760
cannabis again, it's legal uh but it

1846
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:21,199
says it sends a different message. So my

1847
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:23,040
my opinion is is not to uh to decline to

1848
01:14:21,199 --> 01:14:26,880
move forward uh because it's going to if

1849
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:28,719
we say go and then we we end up u

1850
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:30,960
perhaps changing our mind but we're not

1851
01:14:28,719 --> 01:14:32,159
going to change our mind if we say go uh

1852
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,719
because then we're going to work on the

1853
01:14:32,159 --> 01:14:38,400
details but I think we look we're

1854
01:14:34,719 --> 01:14:41,440
looking at finances uh uh for next year

1855
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:44,159
26 27 and I think that we need to be

1856
01:14:41,440 --> 01:14:47,840
cautious in terms of what we what we say

1857
01:14:44,159 --> 01:14:49,679
to you that would perhaps impact us on a

1858
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:51,199
financial side even though there's

1859
01:14:49,679 --> 01:14:54,560
numbers here to say it's not going to

1860
01:14:51,199 --> 01:14:56,960
it's going to be positive for us. So

1861
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:58,400
please

1862
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:00,880
» Um one of the reasons I asked the

1863
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:02,800
question how early on did you bring this

1864
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:05,600
to the city's attention is because you

1865
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:07,440
have put an awful lot of work into this

1866
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:09,040
already and it it sort of seems as

1867
01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:13,760
though you're just waiting for the yes

1868
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:16,960
and you sign and it's a go. Um and my

1869
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:21,120
comment is for future uh events,

1870
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:23,600
festivals, whatever, I I think it's um

1871
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:26,640
critical to have the council brought

1872
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:32,480
into it, even if it's a very rough rough

1873
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:34,080
idea um prior to the event coordinator

1874
01:15:32,480 --> 01:15:36,719
putting a lot of work into it, then

1875
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:39,600
bringing it to the council. And all this

1876
01:15:36,719 --> 01:15:41,360
work has been been um already dealt

1877
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:44,640
with. players have already been talked

1878
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:47,840
to, etc. And then it's up to the council

1879
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:50,400
to say yay or nay. So, um it's a shame

1880
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:53,440
that this was not brought uh early on in

1881
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:57,600
the game.

1882
01:15:53,440 --> 01:15:59,600
» Jean, anything you good, Christina?

1883
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:00,960
» Um nothing else to add? No public

1884
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,120
comment. Want to make sure anything

1885
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:02,800
Well,

1886
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,560
» Here was the public comment, but Okay.

1887
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:06,239
Just making sure I seen somebody in the

1888
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:10,400
» Yeah, it's and it's also part of the

1889
01:16:06,239 --> 01:16:13,040
record, so Okay. Um,

1890
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:14,880
if we is there, you can correct me if

1891
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:19,480
I'm wrong, Phil. If there's a motion to

1892
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:19,480
adopt A, B, and C,

1893
01:16:19,679 --> 01:16:24,239
we could look at that. It's in terms of

1894
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:26,159
moving forward with it.

1895
01:16:24,239 --> 01:16:28,320
And if the motion if there was somebody

1896
01:16:26,159 --> 01:16:31,040
that made that motion to to move forward

1897
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:33,760
with that, the AB and C would basically

1898
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:35,360
direct staff to continue working. And if

1899
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:39,199
there's a motion to that effect, then we

1900
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:41,199
can take we can take action or D

1901
01:16:39,199 --> 01:16:44,560
um which is declined to move forward

1902
01:16:41,199 --> 01:16:47,600
with the proposed festival.

1903
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:50,239
Correct. Okay. It's either A, B, C, or

1904
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:53,679
D. Okay.

1905
01:16:50,239 --> 01:16:56,679
Is there a motion to approve A, B, and

1906
01:16:53,679 --> 01:16:56,679
C?

1907
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,640
A

1908
01:16:58,239 --> 01:17:04,120
» Motion to approve A, B, or C?

1909
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:04,120
» Is there a second?

1910
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:13,920
I think the motion dies for lack of a

1911
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:16,159
second. Is there a motion to approve uh

1912
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:18,239
item D?

1913
01:17:16,159 --> 01:17:19,600
» I'll make a motion to approve item D to

1914
01:17:18,239 --> 01:17:21,360
decline to move forward with the

1915
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:24,480
proposed festival.

1916

» Is there a second?

1917
01:17:24,480 --> 01:17:31,120
» I'll second.

1918
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:33,760
» There's a second. Um any discussion?

1919
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:35,600
Oh, a roll call, please.

1920
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,800
» Council member Costa Jr.

1921
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:40,080

Uh, just a couple things I want to say

1953
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:17,440
just off the bat. One, this is based on

1954
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:20,960
on audited and preliminary information.

1955
01:19:17,440 --> 01:19:23,440

directional note, we're looking for

1961
01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:41,280
direction on how to close the deficit

1962
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:43,600
because we are in a budget deficit um at

1963
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:45,280
this point in time. Uh the focus of

1964
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:48,080
today's discussion is really just the

1965
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:49,440
general fund and the and uh not the

1966
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:52,480
enterprise fund. So just the general

1967
01:19:49,440 --> 01:19:56,880
fund. So, I'm going to jump right in and

1968
01:19:52,480 --> 01:19:58,960
and maybe the best format for this is uh

1969
01:19:56,880 --> 01:20:00,719
maybe stop me for questions or hold

1970
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:04,320
questions to the end, but there is a lot

1971
01:20:00,719 --> 01:20:08,239
of information that went to you. Um and

1972
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:09,920
and if it helps um for anybody who is

1973
01:20:08,239 --> 01:20:11,520
watching and has the information, maybe

1974
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:14,719
just I'll I'll give you a brief overview

1975
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:16,080
of how to read the report. Um and and

1976
01:20:14,719 --> 01:20:20,960
then maybe I'll jump into it. How about

1977
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:23,360
that? Um, so if you can just jump to the

1978
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:27,360
the budget worksheet condensed, that's

1979
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:28,960
what it's titled. It should be uh you if

1980
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:31,520
this was numbered correctly would be

1981
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:35,280
page seven.

1982
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:38,640
And you can see you can see u report

1983
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:40,800
sort of a tabular format here. Uh on the

1984
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:43,360
left hand side you have the the name of

1985
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:45,440
the fund. This is for fund 001 the

1986
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:47,679
general fund. Um, we're going to start

1987
01:20:45,440 --> 01:20:49,920
off with the revenues.

1988
01:20:47,679 --> 01:20:51,679
Um, we're going to start off like

1989
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:53,360
reading from left to right. You have the

1990
01:20:51,679 --> 01:20:56,560
fund numbers, you have the what what

1991
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:59,040
fund it is in relation to. Um, and then

1992
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:01,760
it goes, you know, in every column is

1993
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:04,960
talking about um a different year, a

1994
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:06,880
different fiscal year. So, 2023, 2024

1995
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:09,920
and the total activity that happened in

1996
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:12,239
that year for for those funds.

1997
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:16,480
um you know following that to the right

1998
01:21:12,239 --> 01:21:20,320
2425 total activity. Uh 2526 is the next

1999
01:21:16,480 --> 01:21:23,520
column. Um and then you have 2526

2000
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:25,679
year-toate activity. So the the the

2001
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:27,920
column to the left of that is the budget

2002
01:21:25,679 --> 01:21:31,360
uh what we budgeted in 2526 and what

2003
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:32,960
we've actually expended um year-toate

2004
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:35,679
2526.

2005
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:38,880
Um and then what you have on the

2006
01:21:35,679 --> 01:21:41,120
furthest right hand column is what we're

2007
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:44,080
proposing uh or at least the preliminary

2008
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:46,960
budget for 2627.

2009
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:51,840
And you can kind of see from looking at

2010
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:53,840
what the budget was in 2526. That's uh

2011
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:56,400
column number three right in the middle.

2012
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:58,000
And you compare it to column the last

2013
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,360
column, it'll tell you what how that's

2014
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:02,560
changing. So you can kind of see how

2015
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:04,400
that's changing. So that's just a brief

2016
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,239
overview for those anybody who's

2017
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:09,440
watching that might not know how to read

2018
01:22:06,239 --> 01:22:13,360
the report. But just again just diving

2019
01:22:09,440 --> 01:22:15,920
right into this the highle overview. Um

2020
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:19,280
we're bringing in $6 million in total

2021
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:20,800
revenues. That's uh taxes for the city

2022
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:23,920
um

2023
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:27,360
uh from all places that the city can tax

2024
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:30,639
on. That includes fines. That includes

2025
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:33,199
uh property taxes. any any revenue that

2026
01:22:30,639 --> 01:22:36,800
the city brings in is uh adding up to a

2027
01:22:33,199 --> 01:22:40,719
total of $6 million. Um to contrast

2028
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:43,679
that, uh the city's uh looking at

2029
01:22:40,719 --> 01:22:47,440
spending $8.9 million.

2030
01:22:43,679 --> 01:22:50,159
So you have a $2.9 million deficit.

2031
01:22:47,440 --> 01:22:53,600
That's a that's a big hole that we need

2032
01:22:50,159 --> 01:22:56,239
to figure out how to how to plug. Um,

2033
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:58,159
another way to look at that is we're

2034
01:22:56,239 --> 01:23:01,199
spending

2035
01:22:58,159 --> 01:23:03,199
49% more than than the total re than

2036
01:23:01,199 --> 01:23:06,560
we're bringing in in total revenues.

2037
01:23:03,199 --> 01:23:07,760
That's a lot. And so again, think about

2038
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:12,000
just put in perspective. We're bringing

2039
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:15,040
in $6 million revenues. We are spending

2040
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:17,440
$3 million almost more than the amount

2041
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:19,360
of revenues that we're bringing in. So

2042
01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:21,440
that's a lot of money.

2043
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:22,800
some key assumptions just as as you

2044
01:23:21,440 --> 01:23:25,600
think about, you know, how we put this

2045
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:28,400
together, the budget, um, and some of

2046
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:31,040
the driving factors in terms of how the

2047
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:34,000
budget became, you know, what it is and

2048
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:37,040
how we got to the $2.9 million deficit.

2049
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:39,280
Uh, number one, CalPERS rates,

2050
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:42,480
fortunately for us, are going down very,

2051
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:46,800
very, very slightly.

2052
01:23:42,480 --> 01:23:49,679
3% um next year is what what they're

2053
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:51,840
forecasting. Uh to contrast with that,

2054
01:23:49,679 --> 01:23:54,880
medical costs are actually forecasted to

2055
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:58,400
go up. Uh we're baking in 12% increase.

2056
01:23:54,880 --> 01:24:00,639
On top of that, there's a $1,200 premium

2057
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:03,679
um increase on uh that the city has to

2058
01:24:00,639 --> 01:24:05,920
pay per employee. And so the medical the

2059
01:24:03,679 --> 01:24:08,080
benefits are going up substantially. So

2060
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:10,880
you'll see that across the board. Uh

2061
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:13,840
it's also baking in um step increases

2062
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:16,480
for staff and colas at their negotiated

2063
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:19,600
rates.

2064
01:24:16,480 --> 01:24:23,199
Uh moving into the biggest piece is

2065
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:26,400
driving the revenues and

2066
01:24:23,199 --> 01:24:28,960
you know again I'm I'm paraphrasing this

2067
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:30,239
this thick report so you're not

2068
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:33,760
necessarily going to be able to follow

2069
01:24:30,239 --> 01:24:35,120
this um line by line but but again I

2070
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,960
think I expect this is there's going to

2071
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:39,120
be some questions as well. So, the

2072
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:41,760
biggest pieces driving this in terms of

2073
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:43,440
the revenues is you have $4.7 million in

2074
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:45,840
taxes.

2075
01:24:43,440 --> 01:24:51,360
Um, the next biggest piece in revenues

2076
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:54,000
is is cannabis and that's about $225,000

2077
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:57,920
um in taxes. And then the next biggest

2078
01:24:54,000 --> 01:25:03,199
piece is $183,000 in in building and

2079
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:06,960
planning that's um permits. So there's

2080
01:25:03,199 --> 01:25:08,800
going to be some revenue subtractions.

2081
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:12,320
I think in past years what we've done is

2082
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:15,120
we've uh had a big transfer a couple big

2083
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:17,760
transfers from the enterprise funds to

2084
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:19,600
sort of compensate the city uh general

2085
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:22,320
fund for

2086
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:24,719
um you know the usage of the staff to

2087
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:27,120
run those those enterprises the from the

2088
01:25:24,719 --> 01:25:29,600
general fund uh cost allocations from

2089
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:31,679
the general fund. um we're going to do

2090
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:33,920
things a little differently going

2091
01:25:31,679 --> 01:25:35,600
forward where the enterprise funds are

2092
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:37,840
going to be charged directly for

2093
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:39,840
staffing. So there's never there's not

2094
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:41,600
going to be a separate charge. So it's

2095
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:43,199
not that the general fund isn't being

2096
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:45,120
compensated, it's just that the costs

2097
01:25:43,199 --> 01:25:48,639
are not hitting the general fund um

2098
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:53,440
altogether anymore. Um and that's uh

2099
01:25:48,639 --> 01:25:55,679
that's uh the uh methodology that is

2100
01:25:53,440 --> 01:25:58,960
recommended by

2101
01:25:55,679 --> 01:26:01,760
uh by Gazsby.

2102
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:04,320
So, moving into the expenses and looking

2103
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:06,560
at uh maybe I'll at this point I'll draw

2104
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:10,239
your attention to the first page of the

2105
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:13,520
memo. And if you look at that colorful

2106
01:26:10,239 --> 01:26:14,960
pie chart right on the first page, I

2107
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:18,080
think that'll be helpful to sort of

2108
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:21,199
follow along that. Um and it's very easy

2109
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:23,920
to see where the bulk of the costs are

2110
01:26:21,199 --> 01:26:26,560
for the city. Uh the biggest uh the

2111
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:29,760
biggest piece is obviously the police

2112
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:33,840
costs. Um and fire that's 63% of the

2113
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:35,280
budget is basically safety. Um another

2114
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:37,840
way to look at that and if you want to

2115
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:41,600
look at that sort of in in dollars uh

2116
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:45,040
that's 5.6 million of the 8.9 million in

2117
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:47,120
expenditures is is going just to safety.

2118
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:48,960
Big pieces in terms of safety

2119
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:51,440
expenditures.

2120
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:52,639
um you have overtime, you've got a

2121
01:26:51,440 --> 01:26:54,880
different staff, you have different

2122
01:26:52,639 --> 01:26:56,560
staffing levels, you have uh

2123
01:26:54,880 --> 01:27:00,960
disabilities

2124
01:26:56,560 --> 01:27:04,400
and and so overtime just for PD next

2125
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:07,760
year is forecasted at $380,000 and then

2126
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:10,960
fire at 281,000.

2127
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:14,400
You'll also see liability insurance for

2128
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:17,520
for the police department go up. Um I

2129
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:21,920
think in past years they the allocation

2130
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:24,320
methodology wasn't necessarily what um

2131
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:26,880
best practice. I think they were uh

2132
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:28,480
there was a a charge coming from

2133
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:30,400
although the general fund is paying for

2134
01:27:28,480 --> 01:27:33,760
it. Now, this is going to reflect that

2135
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:36,960
the majority of the liability insurance

2136
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:39,280
is actually earmarked against PD because

2137
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:40,719
they have the highest salary levels and

2138
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,400
that's how they're supposed to allocate

2139
01:27:40,719 --> 01:27:46,480
those.

2140
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:50,080
Um, there's also a big change this year

2141
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:53,040
with respect to dispatcher services. Um

2142
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:55,280
there's a Santa Maria and you know uh

2143
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:58,960
chief can might be able to add to this

2144
01:27:55,280 --> 01:28:02,000
is is going to charge us $250,000

2145
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:03,280
more or uh in addition to what they're

2146
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,440
charging us next year. So that will be

2147
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:08,639
an increase to to the budget on the PD

2148
01:28:05,440 --> 01:28:12,000
side. So there's some big expenditures

2149
01:28:08,639 --> 01:28:13,920
that are really impacting the budget on

2150
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:16,800
that side.

2151
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:18,480
The other piece of the pie, and this is

2152
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:20,159
sort of the interesting part that you

2153
01:28:18,480 --> 01:28:24,080
can kind of look at this in a couple

2154
01:28:20,159 --> 01:28:28,320
different ways. Uh 37% of the rest of

2155
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:30,400
the budget that's not safety is really

2156
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:33,760
um city operations and administration,

2157
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:36,400
that's $3.3 million. So again, I want to

2158
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:40,159
maybe just have you think again about

2159
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:45,040
the deficit. So to put this in

2160
01:28:40,159 --> 01:28:47,280
perspective, um if if we were to

2161
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:48,400
eliminate every other and not that say

2162
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:49,600
that you're going to do this, by the

2163
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:52,800
way, but just to put things in

2164
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:54,400
perspective, um even if we were to have

2165
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:56,800
a conversation of eliminating every

2166
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:59,040
other city activity except for safety,

2167
01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:02,560
we would still uh that would still leave

2168
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:06,880
the city in a 12% deficit. In other

2169
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:08,560
words, we would still be in a $720,000 a

2170
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:11,840
year deficit for the city and we would

2171
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:13,199
only have fire and PD.

2172
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:15,120
Let me say this in a different way

2173
01:29:13,199 --> 01:29:17,360
because I think it's I I just want to

2174
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:21,040
make sure that we understand what what

2175
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:24,560
is um

2176
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:28,320
what is in in front of us. Um, if we

2177
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:31,440
took all the city revenue of $6 million

2178
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:34,159
and we netted out the safety costs at

2179
01:29:31,440 --> 01:29:37,280
$5.6 million, you would only have

2180
01:29:34,159 --> 01:29:40,320
$400,000 to run the city.

2181
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:44,000
So, I hope that that makes it very clear

2182
01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:46,960
in terms of what what it is um the

2183
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:51,600
levers that we have. I I think generally

2184
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:53,840
speaking, we need to maybe think about

2185
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:57,520
the things that we can change and the

2186
01:29:53,840 --> 01:30:00,639
things that we can't change. Um just

2187
01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:03,360
anecdotally, I had a I had a professor

2188
01:30:00,639 --> 01:30:05,600
when I was working on my MBA,

2189
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:07,600
he was a a turnaround expert. He would

2190
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:10,800
go around and and help organizations

2191
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:12,719
turn around their their finances. and he

2192
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:15,760
said, "You know, the the biggest issue

2193
01:30:12,719 --> 01:30:18,560
that I have when I'm giving advice to to

2194
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:22,000
boards and councils, etc., he says, is

2195
01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:24,159
that they tend to focus on the the

2196
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:26,960
smallest slice of the pie and figuring

2197
01:30:24,159 --> 01:30:29,760
out ways how to cut cost in the smallest

2198
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:32,239
piece of the pie to solve a very big

2199
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:35,840
hole." And he said and he said that that

2200
01:30:32,239 --> 01:30:37,600
was typically the the political sort of

2201
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:39,920
attraction to it, but it would never get

2202
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:43,440
him anywhere. And he always, you know,

2203
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:47,280
he always said, "Look, when when things

2204
01:30:43,440 --> 01:30:50,400
change was when they focused on making

2205
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:52,639
smaller changes or relevant changes in

2206
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:54,880
the bigger pieces of the pie and that's

2207
01:30:52,639 --> 01:30:56,320
when it actually made an impact. And so

2208
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:59,040
I just put that out there for food for

2209
01:30:56,320 --> 01:31:01,840
thought. I think some of the challenges

2210
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:02,880
and some of the maybe on a go forward

2211
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,800
basis what we need out of this

2212
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:07,440
discussion is we need direction on again

2213
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:11,440
closing the gap. We're spending more

2214
01:31:07,440 --> 01:31:14,080
than we're making as a city and you know

2215
01:31:11,440 --> 01:31:16,480
we're behind three years on audits. Um

2216
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:21,040
we have systemwide reconciliation of the

2217
01:31:16,480 --> 01:31:25,440
books. So um I think there was um

2218
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:26,880
conceptually u that we had a reserve. I

2219
01:31:25,440 --> 01:31:28,480
can tell you right now that you know I

2220
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:32,080
pulled up the balance sheet there is no

2221
01:31:28,480 --> 01:31:33,760
reserve. The reserve was is long gone.

2222
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:35,440
And so I think that's another thing that

2223
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:37,520
just keep that in in the back of your

2224
01:31:35,440 --> 01:31:39,040
head. there is no reserve and

2225
01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:41,520
potentially

2226
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:42,960
that number could increase or decrease.

2227
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:44,719
It depends. There's a lot of moving

2228
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:46,239
pieces here as they clean up the books

2229
01:31:44,719 --> 01:31:50,080
as the as the books are cleaned up over

2230
01:31:46,239 --> 01:31:52,560
the next few years. Um

2231
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:54,880
either we become a we have a negative

2232
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:56,239
reserve which is basically what what

2233
01:31:54,880 --> 01:32:00,880
that really means if we have a negative

2234
01:31:56,239 --> 01:32:03,280
reserve is that the city general fund is

2235
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:04,800
expending dollars that they don't have

2236
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:09,760
anymore.

2237
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:11,920
Um, so that's again significant. Um,

2238
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:14,800
there, and I said this in my first

2239
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:17,440
presentation to the council, there's a

2240
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:19,679
potential liquidity uh there's potential

2241
01:32:17,440 --> 01:32:22,480
liquidity concerns that we need to work

2242
01:32:19,679 --> 01:32:24,400
very hard to avert and I've been working

2243
01:32:22,480 --> 01:32:26,880
very closely with with David on this

2244
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:29,040
front. Um, we've put a lot of thought in

2245
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:32,000
terms of the projects, how we're going

2246
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:33,920
to continue those. Uh the next thing in

2247
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:37,440
terms of my priority list to figure out

2248
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:39,679
is is uh to get a really good beat on

2249
01:32:37,440 --> 01:32:41,760
our liquidity for the city, how we're

2250
01:32:39,679 --> 01:32:43,679
spending our cash and when we're

2251
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:45,840
spending it, when it's coming in, and

2252
01:32:43,679 --> 01:32:47,679
when it's going out, because without

2253
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:49,920
that, we're not going to know what we

2254
01:32:47,679 --> 01:32:52,239
can pay and when we can pay it. And so I

2255
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:54,800
think I think it's it's we're at that

2256
01:32:52,239 --> 01:32:58,639
point where we really we're sort of at a

2257
01:32:54,800 --> 01:33:00,639
crossroads where we can um we can make a

2258
01:32:58,639 --> 01:33:03,360
positive impact in how we move forward

2259
01:33:00,639 --> 01:33:05,840
and we can sort of change uh for the

2260
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:09,600
better or or potentially you know not

2261
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:12,159
for the better on on that front. Um just

2262
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:16,080
long story short, I would say ultimately

2263
01:33:12,159 --> 01:33:17,520
either uh costs need to be cut. Uh we

2264
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:20,960
need to inc find a way to increase

2265
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:23,040
revenues, assume no reserves or and or

2266
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:25,520
do all of the above, right? Cut costs,

2267
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:27,760
increase revenues, assume no reserves.

2268
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:29,199
So with that, maybe I'll just um stop

2269
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:31,120
for questions. I'm sure you read the

2270
01:33:29,199 --> 01:33:34,880
report. If you have questions, I'm happy

2271
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:37,120
to address questions on them.

2272
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:39,120
Yeah, when I first got this uh we've

2273
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:40,639
talked a little bit about it in terms of

2274
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:43,520
especially with the grants that we have.

2275
01:33:40,639 --> 01:33:46,639
You got to, you know, we we we have the

2276
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:48,159
Royal Theater, we have the Las Mueres,

2277
01:33:46,639 --> 01:33:50,639
we've got the train, we've got other

2278
01:33:48,159 --> 01:33:53,360
projects and a lot of that, just like I

2279
01:33:50,639 --> 01:33:58,320
mentioned before that when we did Leroy

2280
01:33:53,360 --> 01:34:01,120
Park, we used uh about 750,000 from the

2281
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:05,120
land money that we had when we sold five

2282
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:06,960
acres to Pastada, which helped us pay

2283
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:08,480
first and then get reimbured from the

2284
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:10,480
state.

2285
01:34:08,480 --> 01:34:12,480
And uh that money doesn't come real

2286
01:34:10,480 --> 01:34:14,480
quick as you know and I know that lately

2287
01:34:12,480 --> 01:34:15,840
I've been signing a bunch of requests

2288
01:34:14,480 --> 01:34:18,800
for reimbursement from different

2289
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:20,960
entities that and big money that we put

2290
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:24,320
put out and then then we're expecting uh

2291
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:26,800
you know that return. So I know that

2292
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:28,719
it's if you don't have it in your bank,

2293
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:30,800
you can't move forward with that. You

2294
01:34:28,719 --> 01:34:32,560
can't finish a project if there's not

2295
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:34,000
any money to pay for what's going on in

2296
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:36,800
construction. So, we really need to dig

2297
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:38,560
deep on where we where we are with uh

2298
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:41,920
all re reimbursements and I know you're

2299
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:45,280
doing that and trying to figure out who

2300
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:48,639
we need to submit u you know request for

2301
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:50,719
payment to that's a task and I know that

2302
01:34:48,639 --> 01:34:53,199
um is is Annette still working with with

2303
01:34:50,719 --> 01:34:56,159
you all or is she

2304
01:34:53,199 --> 01:34:58,080
» Uh generally I'm sorry we generally

2305
01:34:56,159 --> 01:34:59,679
speaking yes she um has a certain amount

2306
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:01,760
of hours that she can work she's done

2307
01:34:59,679 --> 01:35:04,800
for this fiscal year the plan is to have

2308
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:05,760
her start again in um on July 1st.

2309
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:07,280
» Okay.

2310
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:09,840
» If she's willing to come back.

2311
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:12,800
» All right. Well, I think what happens is

2312
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:16,480
that it's it's like um

2313
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:18,480
you know, an engine in the car. That's

2314
01:35:16,480 --> 01:35:20,560
all these pieces are broken. What do we

2315
01:35:18,480 --> 01:35:23,920
stick? What do you fix first? You get a

2316
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:26,719
new block. You get new heads. You So,

2317
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:30,719
what we're looking at is an engine that

2318
01:35:26,719 --> 01:35:32,320
needs to we need to fix. And the block

2319
01:35:30,719 --> 01:35:36,560
is the biggest

2320
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:38,800
cost for a car and we're looking at some

2321
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:40,960
big expenses here with with public

2322
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:43,040
safety. You can't first of all you can't

2323
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:45,440
do away with everything else other than

2324
01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:47,920
uh you know you know administration

2325
01:35:45,440 --> 01:35:49,760
finance that like you mentioned that if

2326
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:51,679
we paid just that we wouldn't have

2327
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:54,000
anything else to we wouldn't have any

2328
01:35:51,679 --> 01:35:57,440
departments other than police and fire.

2329
01:35:54,000 --> 01:36:00,320
That doesn't work. So

2330
01:35:57,440 --> 01:36:02,880
have now have you been talking with

2331
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:04,719
department heads in terms of input yet

2332
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:06,480
or have you or

2333
01:36:04,719 --> 01:36:08,159
» Yeah, maybe maybe I can just talk about

2334
01:36:06,480 --> 01:36:10,320
on that on that note I can talk about

2335
01:36:08,159 --> 01:36:13,440
the process to to get to here. Okay.

2336
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:15,520
» Um you know I um we did sit down with

2337
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:18,239
the department heads and go through the

2338
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:19,840
budget line by line and talk about

2339
01:36:18,239 --> 01:36:22,080
» You know just sort of framing it as

2340
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:25,040
we're in a in a budget deficit. We have

2341
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:26,639
to think about what we need and you know

2342
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:27,360
what's a need and what's a want.

2343
01:36:26,639 --> 01:36:29,679
» Yeah. Yeah.

2344
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:31,760
» Right. And so I think um that was the

2345
01:36:29,679 --> 01:36:34,000
narrative. Um, I know that, you know, I

2346
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:35,600
sat with David after we sat down with

2347
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:38,400
the departments and, you know, we

2348
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:40,000
sharpened the pencil even more, but I

2349
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:42,159
think at this point we're we're at the

2350
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:46,639
point where we need sort of the council

2351
01:36:42,159 --> 01:36:50,000
to say, look, uh, maybe we don't need X,

2352
01:36:46,639 --> 01:36:52,080
Y, and Z. Um or maybe we can you know

2353
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:54,159
think about this other kind of revenue

2354
01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:56,000
over here that I don't know what that

2355
01:36:54,159 --> 01:36:58,000
would be but but you know I mean there's

2356
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:59,679
only so so many places you can actually

2357
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:01,360
bring in true revenue

2358
01:36:59,679 --> 01:37:04,560
» Uh to the city and you know one of those

2359
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:07,119
true revenues is is uh taxes and

2360
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:10,119
» Yeah. So and that's a heavy word.

2361
01:37:07,119 --> 01:37:10,119
» Yeah.

2362
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:14,679
» Yeah. Um,

2363
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:20,159
» You know, it's probably been a while

2364
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:24,239
since we've actually been able to get a

2365
01:37:20,159 --> 01:37:26,080
very thorough uh well done uh financial

2366
01:37:24,239 --> 01:37:30,000
outlook for the city.

2367
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:31,600
» Um, it's very um

2368
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,960
for me I feel like it's very

2369
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:35,520
heartbreaking to find out the trouble

2370
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:37,040
that we're actually in. Um, I think, you

2371
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:39,840
know, we've been operating under this

2372
01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:41,920
facade that we had money, we had a

2373
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:44,719
reserve, you know, I think last year

2374
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:47,679
this time we had a $3 million reserve.

2375
01:37:44,719 --> 01:37:50,960
» How obviously it doesn't it doesn't

2376
01:37:47,679 --> 01:37:54,480
math, right? You know, so, um, I think

2377
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:56,639
there's been some stuff that has gone

2378
01:37:54,480 --> 01:37:58,639
very bad and we need to find ways to fix

2379
01:37:56,639 --> 01:38:01,520
it. Um,

2380
01:37:58,639 --> 01:38:04,960
and it's very difficult to get any kind

2381
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:08,639
of economic boom here. um because we do

2382
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:10,159
have the lower population um until

2383
01:38:08,639 --> 01:38:11,840
Pasadera

2384
01:38:10,159 --> 01:38:14,080
uh the north side of Pasadera starts

2385
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:18,159
developing the entrance to the city

2386
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:19,920
isn't looking super amazing. Um

2387
01:38:18,159 --> 01:38:22,320
and you know we have some things that we

2388
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:23,760
have to work out and feeds and our

2389
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:25,440
permitting process isn't super

2390
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:27,440
streamlined like developers would like

2391
01:38:25,440 --> 01:38:29,360
and you know business owners want

2392
01:38:27,440 --> 01:38:31,679
whenever they come into a city but

2393
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:32,880
that's all things that we can fix that's

2394
01:38:31,679 --> 01:38:34,639
fairly easy. Mhm.

2395
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:37,119
» Um, you know, it's a long-term

2396
01:38:34,639 --> 01:38:39,760
development. You know, that's going to

2397
01:38:37,119 --> 01:38:42,480
take time. And when we look at what

2398
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:48,000
we're what we're spending, you know, to

2399
01:38:42,480 --> 01:38:50,719
to overtake a $3 million deficit at 600

2400
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:52,880
that $300,000 a year, you know, you're

2401
01:38:50,719 --> 01:38:54,400
still looking at a 10-year plan, right?

2402
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:58,800
So, I mean, nothing is going to come

2403
01:38:54,400 --> 01:39:00,719
quick, but we need to start making

2404
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:03,360
um

2405
01:39:00,719 --> 01:39:03,840
strategic modifications.

2406
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:07,040
» Mhm.

2407
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:09,520
» Um, but I think some of that direction

2408
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:11,119
does have to come from you guys. Um,

2409
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:13,119
because we can sit around the water

2410
01:39:11,119 --> 01:39:16,719
cooler and come up with plans and ideas

2411
01:39:13,119 --> 01:39:18,719
that that we feel are going to be

2412
01:39:16,719 --> 01:39:25,400
productive and show some kind of, you

2413
01:39:18,719 --> 01:39:25,400
know, ROI in the end. But um

2414
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:32,080
we still have to have you guys on board.

2415
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:34,480
And right now the way this budget looks

2416
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:35,040
is you guys have to make some serious

2417
01:39:34,480 --> 01:39:35,520
cuts.

2418
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:37,280
» Mhm.

2419
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:40,400
» Um

2420
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:42,000
because if we start making cuts, it's

2421
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:43,679
going to be the kind of cuts that nobody

2422
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:48,239
wants to see because it's going to have

2423
01:39:43,679 --> 01:39:50,320
the fastest impact. and we need what you

2424
01:39:48,239 --> 01:39:53,440
guys would like to see in your strategic

2425
01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:55,040
long-term action plan. Um, things that

2426
01:39:53,440 --> 01:39:57,760
right now, the way this budget is

2427
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:59,679
looking, things that are on the city's

2428
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:01,040
priority list

2429
01:39:59,679 --> 01:40:04,000
are probably not going to be able to be

2430
01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:05,760
attacked, not quickly, and probably not

2431
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:07,360
within a time frame that the city would

2432
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:08,560
have liked to seen those. Those are

2433
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:12,159
probably going to be rolled out a little

2434
01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:15,360
bit longer. Um so that we can start

2435
01:40:12,159 --> 01:40:17,199
catching up on this. Um

2436
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:21,360
you know, we're we're getting our books

2437
01:40:17,199 --> 01:40:22,639
audited. We're still four years behind

2438
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:25,199
and we don't know what that's going to

2439
01:40:22,639 --> 01:40:27,520
show. We know what we have in the bank

2440
01:40:25,199 --> 01:40:29,360
and best case scenario, we find some

2441
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:30,400
checks that we didn't cash. Worst case

2442
01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:31,840
scenario, we're going to find out that

2443
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:33,360
we owe more money,

2444
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:36,560
» You know? So, we have to plan for the

2445
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:38,480
worst still. Um,

2446
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:40,880
and

2447
01:40:38,480 --> 01:40:42,960
you know, myself and Eli, Chief, we can

2448
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:45,760
only put Humpty together so much before

2449
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:47,679
we need somebody to come in and be like,

2450
01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:50,960
"Hey, you know, that's not an ear, you

2451
01:40:47,679 --> 01:40:53,440
know." So, um, whatever guidance you

2452
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:55,520
guys want to offer, um, maybe you can't

2453
01:40:53,440 --> 01:40:56,639
even offer guidance tonight. Maybe it's

2454
01:40:55,520 --> 01:41:00,480
something that has to be thought about,

2455
01:40:56,639 --> 01:41:03,040
but um we are facing some pretty strong

2456
01:41:00,480 --> 01:41:05,520
turmoil and we're going to have to dig

2457
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:08,239
dig deep and long. I think with with

2458
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:10,880
that is that we need we need to look at

2459
01:41:08,239 --> 01:41:12,480
the actual

2460
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:15,280
sections that we need to look at in

2461
01:41:12,480 --> 01:41:18,159
terms of where do we do we move forward

2462
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:20,400
or we do do we cut here or do we what is

2463
01:41:18,159 --> 01:41:23,679
our if we don't have that schematic in

2464
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:26,480
terms of where is it that that is is

2465
01:41:23,679 --> 01:41:28,560
where we bleeding where are we uh in

2466
01:41:26,480 --> 01:41:31,199
well I know revenue is an issue because

2467
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:34,000
almost every almost a whole bunch of

2468
01:41:31,199 --> 01:41:37,119
cities revenue is an issue but we need

2469
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:39,520
to look at if if it's the the police

2470
01:41:37,119 --> 01:41:41,760
department, if it's finance, if it's if

2471
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:43,600
it's uh you know, fire department,

2472
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:45,679
whatever. Those are the two biggest

2473
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:48,400
police and fire are the two biggest

2474
01:41:45,679 --> 01:41:50,960
ones. So, we need to look at how that's

2475
01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:54,000
going to uh what do we need to do to

2476
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:55,520
make sure that like like Eli is saying,

2477
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:56,880
don't go after the small stuff because

2478
01:41:55,520 --> 01:41:59,600
that isn't going to help. you need to

2479
01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:04,080
look at, you know, those are the to me

2480
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:05,520
glaring glaring and uh and glaring

2481
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:07,280
issues. That's where the biggest money

2482
01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:09,600
is going. So, how do we how do we deal

2483
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:12,639
with that? Then pair it down. But we

2484
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:13,840
need to see the specifics in terms of

2485
01:42:12,639 --> 01:42:15,199
what are we what are we talking about?

2486
01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:18,800
Are we talking about cars? Are we

2487
01:42:15,199 --> 01:42:22,320
talking about uh you know, salaries? Are

2488
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:24,639
we talking about overtime? Uh we so if

2489
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:26,639
we had that information then we could we

2490
01:42:24,639 --> 01:42:29,199
can actually uh put our foot to the

2491
01:42:26,639 --> 01:42:30,880
metal. So please

2492
01:42:29,199 --> 01:42:32,800
» Uh sort of in line with what you're

2493
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:34,960
you're saying

2494
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:38,080
David you said the department heads

2495
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:40,159
could talk around the water cooling and

2496
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:41,920
come up with whatever. Um but I think

2497
01:42:40,159 --> 01:42:43,920
that's important that ties into what

2498
01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:47,040
you're saying.

2499
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:50,239
What I I envision right now is what is

2500
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:52,560
it what are the projects that we got to

2501
01:42:50,239 --> 01:42:55,119
have and for whatever reason we must

2502
01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:57,119
have this we must have that uh you know

2503
01:42:55,119 --> 01:43:01,040
water department we must have treatment

2504
01:42:57,119 --> 01:43:03,679
plant we must have etc. um and the

2505
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:06,000
staffing involved with that. We

2506
01:43:03,679 --> 01:43:09,119
currently have X at the water treatment.

2507
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:11,040
Do we need X? Um etc., etc. That that

2508
01:43:09,119 --> 01:43:13,360
type of thing. And then we can look at

2509
01:43:11,040 --> 01:43:17,119
it. And Chief, you said in your report

2510
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:19,440
that you have kind of done this, did it

2511
01:43:17,119 --> 01:43:20,800
sound that way? Um but yeah, we would

2512
01:43:19,440 --> 01:43:23,760
need to look at all the different

2513
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:27,600
departments and then get your input as

2514
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:29,119
opposed to um our saying, you know, just

2515
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:30,719
flipping through here and saying, "Well,

2516
01:43:29,119 --> 01:43:31,520
this looks like it's a big number. Let's

2517
01:43:30,719 --> 01:43:32,960
cut that.

2518
01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:34,239
» This looks like a small number. I guess

2519
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:35,920
it's okay." You know, that kind of a

2520
01:43:34,239 --> 01:43:38,960
thing. I don't have the knowledge to do

2521
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:41,360
that. I don't. But with your input per

2522
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:44,719
department, I think we can make a

2523
01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:46,800
reasonably intelligent decision to uh

2524
01:43:44,719 --> 01:43:48,800
direct you on on how to go forward on

2525
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:51,040
this.

2526
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:53,760
You know that you talked about projects.

2527
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:55,520
You know, we've got potentially Leroy

2528
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:58,960
with that

2529
01:43:55,520 --> 01:44:00,880
was it 1.7 million for that new building

2530
01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:03,280
or the expansion. We're we're still

2531
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:06,000
dealing with issues with Royal Theater

2532
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:08,080
in terms of the costs that we need to

2533
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:11,840
finish that

2534
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:13,440
the railroad the train station. Um

2535
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:16,639
there's a lot of projects out there that

2536
01:44:13,440 --> 01:44:18,560
we need to you know do we need to slow

2537
01:44:16,639 --> 01:44:21,199
those down? Do we need to say okay let's

2538
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:22,639
let's defer that even if we lose it if

2539
01:44:21,199 --> 01:44:26,000
it's going to if it's going to

2540
01:44:22,639 --> 01:44:28,080
physically financially impact us then we

2541
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:31,360
need to look at that and say okay we can

2542
01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:33,600
we can uh the good part about Guadalupe

2543
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:36,480
is the bad part. The good part is we get

2544
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:39,040
grants and we get you know uh and the

2545
01:44:36,480 --> 01:44:41,840
bad part is that we we need the money to

2546
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:44,400
front them. I shared with Amelia

2547
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:47,040
uh when I went to this in the newspaper

2548
01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:50,000
was talking about Bolton and in the in

2549
01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:54,080
the newspaper it it showed us a

2550
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:57,199
breakdown of the Santa Barbara County um

2551
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:59,840
the tax per capita

2552
01:44:57,199 --> 01:45:01,600
per city.

2553
01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:04,560
Um I don't know if you folks have seen

2554
01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:06,800
it. It's in the it's not newssh hawk but

2555
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:09,040
it's one of the papers

2556
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:12,400
and uh builtin was highlighted in that

2557
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:16,159
and per capita uh they had they they get

2558
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:19,440
$76 per capita and I talked to David

2559
01:45:16,159 --> 01:45:21,679
David Silva who's a mayor and they have

2560
01:45:19,440 --> 01:45:26,800
a budget of something like 12 or 13

2561
01:45:21,679 --> 01:45:28,560
million and 15 staff members. So that's

2562
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:32,000
you know that you know I think the

2563
01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:33,199
sheriff's uh deal with them but they get

2564
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,560
because they have a lot of bit and I

2565
01:45:33,199 --> 01:45:36,560
talked about earlier they have a lot of

2566
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:38,239
businesses there they have you know

2567
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:41,760
money coming in they have the tax dollar

2568
01:45:38,239 --> 01:45:44,000
they have the toot

2569
01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:46,320
transit tax

2570
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:51,360
so they get $76

2571
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:55,679
per person they're ranked 27 in the um

2572
01:45:51,360 --> 01:45:58,320
in the county in the county let's see no

2573
01:45:55,679 --> 01:46:03,199
There's 540 agencies, cities and

2574
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:07,679
counties and uh they rank 27 on the one

2575
01:46:03,199 --> 01:46:11,199
of the tops. Kalita has u um you know

2576
01:46:07,679 --> 01:46:13,760
$391 a person and then and then it goes

2577
01:46:11,199 --> 01:46:17,600
Santa Maria goes uh unincorporated Santa

2578
01:46:13,760 --> 01:46:19,600
Barbara County. We get $66

2579
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:23,119
a person

2580
01:46:19,600 --> 01:46:26,159
and that's not a lot of money. And if

2581
01:46:23,119 --> 01:46:28,080
you know I know that I was you know u

2582
01:46:26,159 --> 01:46:29,280
talking with Craig Smith in terms of the

2583
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:32,320
issues that they're going through now

2584
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:35,040
with with a railroad uh trying to get

2585
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:37,360
permission to you know to you they have

2586
01:46:35,040 --> 01:46:39,360
they have to go under underground for

2587
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:40,800
the water and stuff like that and

2588
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:42,719
they're having trouble with that. So

2589
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:44,800
that delays them further. So, and I

2590
01:46:42,719 --> 01:46:46,239
think I think it was mentioned that

2591
01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:48,880
they're not going to start building

2592
01:46:46,239 --> 01:46:50,480
until probably the latter part of next

2593
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:53,760
year.

2594
01:46:50,480 --> 01:46:55,600
And that we were making money on that on

2595
01:46:53,760 --> 01:46:58,560
the permitting fees and and everything

2596
01:46:55,600 --> 01:47:03,119
else and then the taxes eventually.

2597
01:46:58,560 --> 01:47:06,320
The the other side of that was the the

2598
01:47:03,119 --> 01:47:08,400
what the acre 15 acres of commercial

2599
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:10,639
that if that were if that were here

2600
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:14,000
today that would that would have we'd

2601
01:47:10,639 --> 01:47:16,639
have a different scenario. Um

2602
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:18,719
but we're not. So we need to look at the

2603
01:47:16,639 --> 01:47:20,239
departments and say here's here's here's

2604
01:47:18,719 --> 01:47:22,719
where we are. Here's the expenses.

2605
01:47:20,239 --> 01:47:24,639
Here's where we need to you know if what

2606
01:47:22,719 --> 01:47:26,320
what it does it take to run the

2607
01:47:24,639 --> 01:47:27,760
department. What does it take to run the

2608
01:47:26,320 --> 01:47:29,760
the finance department? What does it

2609
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:31,440
take to run the fire department? Where

2610
01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:33,679
can we we cut? So if we had that before

2611
01:47:31,440 --> 01:47:36,560
us, so we'll be I I believe we'll be

2612
01:47:33,679 --> 01:47:39,199
more than happy to to say this is our

2613
01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:41,199
this is our responsibility, not the

2614
01:47:39,199 --> 01:47:43,760
staff. You just give us the give us the

2615
01:47:41,199 --> 01:47:45,840
data and we can we'll go at it. So and

2616
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:49,600
again like the like the grants that we

2617
01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:53,679
have, if if we can't, you know, uh

2618
01:47:49,600 --> 01:47:55,119
pay for them as we go, then this defer.

2619
01:47:53,679 --> 01:47:57,600
Um,

2620
01:47:55,119 --> 01:47:59,920
» I just want to thank uh Eli uh for this

2621
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:01,600
robust report. Um, yeah, I think it

2622
01:47:59,920 --> 01:48:03,679
uncovered some red flags that maybe

2623
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:04,960
should have been flagged last year. Um,

2624
01:48:03,679 --> 01:48:06,159
and unfortunately that didn't happen.

2625
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:09,040
So, I really want to thank you for this

2626
01:48:06,159 --> 01:48:10,320
thorough report. Um, speaking of last

2627
01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:12,239
year, I know that maybe we didn't have

2628
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:14,400
the strongest foundation and so I think

2629
01:48:12,239 --> 01:48:16,560
David will be working on how we can

2630
01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:18,800
create a strong foundation to have that

2631
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:21,679
um, budget play out for the best of us.

2632
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:24,320
Um, last year we seen um, I seen a few

2633
01:48:21,679 --> 01:48:26,880
spending on our warrants. Um, I want to

2634
01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:28,400
see how we can direct staff to make sure

2635
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:31,119
that, you know, reimbursements are

2636
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:32,880
submitted on time. Um, so we're not late

2637
01:48:31,119 --> 01:48:34,800
on reimbursements. I think a few times

2638
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:37,760
reimbursements have been submitted a

2639
01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:40,560
year or two late. Um, and then what can

2640
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:42,239
we also give um direction on staff for

2641
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:45,199
like purchase and travel? What does that

2642
01:48:42,239 --> 01:48:47,679
look like? Um, and if there's any more

2643
01:48:45,199 --> 01:48:49,840
realistic options that we can uh do to

2644
01:48:47,679 --> 01:48:51,840
move forward to have a structurally

2645
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:56,639
balanced budget, I would like to know.

2646
01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:59,639
So what we are going to end um

2647
01:48:56,639 --> 01:48:59,639
um

2648
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:06,719
put in place um July 1st uh we're going

2649
01:49:04,480 --> 01:49:10,880
to start doing a purchase order program.

2650
01:49:06,719 --> 01:49:13,040
Um anything $1,000 or more collectively

2651
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:15,119
uh has to come through get my approval.

2652
01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:17,280
Uh it will go through finance. It will

2653
01:49:15,119 --> 01:49:18,639
get finances approval stating that you

2654
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:21,440
do have money in that account that

2655
01:49:18,639 --> 01:49:25,360
you're trying to spend. Um, so that's

2656
01:49:21,440 --> 01:49:27,520
going to go in place. Um,

2657
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:29,360
um, what was the other part?

2658
01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:31,840
» I think the reimbursements. I sometimes

2659
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:34,159
» Reimbursements. Yeah. So, um, that's

2660
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:34,880
difficult with this new grant firm that

2661
01:49:34,159 --> 01:49:35,280
we went to.

2662
01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:37,600
» Yeah.

2663
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:38,000
» Um, they are handling everything a toz.

2664
01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:40,159
» Okay.

2665
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:42,639
» Uh, so writing, submission,

2666
01:49:40,159 --> 01:49:45,119
reimbursement, reporting. Um, and then

2667
01:49:42,639 --> 01:49:46,560
we will still have a staff member. um

2668
01:49:45,119 --> 01:49:49,040
who is also doing that that's finding

2669
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:51,199
all the money right now that who would

2670
01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:54,480
have thought right um so that's going to

2671
01:49:51,199 --> 01:49:59,280
be in place also um

2672
01:49:54,480 --> 01:50:01,360
projects are going to get halted um

2673
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:03,199
we have some projects that are going on

2674
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:06,159
that

2675
01:50:03,199 --> 01:50:08,239
have been started and then delayed due

2676
01:50:06,159 --> 01:50:10,880
to permitting

2677
01:50:08,239 --> 01:50:12,480
um so there's already been a lot charged

2678
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:14,800
to those accounts so trying to stop

2679
01:50:12,480 --> 01:50:18,320
those might not even make sense

2680
01:50:14,800 --> 01:50:21,320
Um but there is other projects that

2681
01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:21,320
um

2682
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:25,920
are not regulatory required. Uh we do

2683
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:28,560
have like lift stations that are going

2684
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:32,320
into into work that

2685
01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:36,080
we have to do um so that we don't get

2686
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:41,440
novas. Um so those will have to

2687
01:50:36,080 --> 01:50:44,000
continue. Um but things like um

2688
01:50:41,440 --> 01:50:46,239
you know uh

2689
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:47,440
and

2690
01:50:46,239 --> 01:50:48,400
all construction is probably going to

2691
01:50:47,440 --> 01:50:48,880
stop in December.

2692
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:52,159
» Okay.

2693
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:54,800
» Um retroactively and that's going to be

2694
01:50:52,159 --> 01:50:57,119
everything from the Royal Theater to if

2695
01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:58,880
Lost Mooners isn't done. Like

2696
01:50:57,119 --> 01:51:02,159
construction is stopping in December. We

2697
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:03,920
have to take a moment, pump our brakes,

2698
01:51:02,159 --> 01:51:07,520
balance our books, find out how much

2699
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:10,639
money we have because the Royal Theater

2700
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:14,320
alone will shut the city down with our

2701
01:51:10,639 --> 01:51:16,719
revolving funds and our reimbursement

2702
01:51:14,320 --> 01:51:18,800
actions with the Royal Theater because

2703
01:51:16,719 --> 01:51:22,080
it's federal. They don't reimburse

2704
01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:25,520
quick. Um, and we're working off

2705
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:29,760
borrowed time, so everything will have

2706
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:34,400
to stop in December. Um, and then take a

2707
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:36,960
breath, figure out where we are. Um,

2708
01:51:34,400 --> 01:51:40,159
and then

2709
01:51:36,960 --> 01:51:44,159
do like an actual priority list for

2710
01:51:40,159 --> 01:51:46,000
construction projects. Um, I think

2711
01:51:44,159 --> 01:51:48,719
in the past we've applied for grants,

2712
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:51,360
we've been awarded grants and then we

2713
01:51:48,719 --> 01:51:53,360
sit on grants for a long time and then

2714
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:56,159
we start cooking off grants and just

2715
01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:58,719
project project or you know whatever the

2716
01:51:56,159 --> 01:52:00,000
case may be and nobody thinks that hey

2717
01:51:58,719 --> 01:52:02,239
it's a good idea that maybe we should

2718
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:04,560
prioritize these. Which ones do we need

2719
01:52:02,239 --> 01:52:06,560
first? Which could we have waited

2720
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:08,400
another year on the theater? Could we

2721
01:52:06,560 --> 01:52:09,760
have started the park last year? you

2722
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:12,800
know, like there's no like actual

2723
01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:15,840
prioritization on needs, right? It's all

2724
01:52:12,800 --> 01:52:17,199
um we're being reactive with grants and

2725
01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:18,560
we can't be. We have to be more

2726
01:52:17,199 --> 01:52:21,520
proactive. We have to do more planning

2727
01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:24,960
up front. Um and

2728
01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:28,480
we have to manage the grant

2729
01:52:24,960 --> 01:52:30,320
as if we have the money because that's

2730
01:52:28,480 --> 01:52:32,000
the way

2731
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:33,119
it becomes. As soon as you start doing

2732
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:35,520
something and you charge something to

2733
01:52:33,119 --> 01:52:37,760
that account, you better start doing a

2734
01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:41,520
reimbursement. You know, I mean, we've

2735
01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:43,920
seen it from FEMA with Caloes to, you

2736
01:52:41,520 --> 01:52:45,360
know, the EDA with the Royal Theater. If

2737
01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:47,119
you're not staying on top of those grant

2738
01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:51,679
reimbursements,

2739
01:52:47,119 --> 01:52:53,520
you know, I mean, we we have $300,000 on

2740
01:52:51,679 --> 01:52:55,360
Highway One lift station that we can't

2741
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:58,480
get a reimbursement on because we waited

2742
01:52:55,360 --> 01:53:00,719
too long to file the reimbursement and

2743
01:52:58,480 --> 01:53:03,280
the reason for the reimbursement is null

2744
01:53:00,719 --> 01:53:05,199
and void anymore. So we're running at

2745
01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:07,520
the issues like that whenever we had

2746
01:53:05,199 --> 01:53:09,199
people in place that were supposed to be

2747
01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:10,560
doing that as their job.

2748
01:53:09,199 --> 01:53:13,520
» So that's the kind of things that we're

2749
01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:14,880
starting to find and now that they're

2750
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:17,520
being pointed out we can be more

2751
01:53:14,880 --> 01:53:20,560
proactive with our approach because this

2752
01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:24,119
reactive that we've been it's going to

2753
01:53:20,560 --> 01:53:24,119
bring the same chasable.

2754
01:53:24,480 --> 01:53:28,560
» Um

2755
01:53:25,440 --> 01:53:30,719
» I like the the prioritization. Um would

2756
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:32,239
do you have like a master list and or

2757
01:53:30,719 --> 01:53:33,679
will you create a master list of

2758
01:53:32,239 --> 01:53:36,560
projects that are happening in

2759
01:53:33,679 --> 01:53:39,440
Guualalupe the project amount and then

2760
01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:41,280
obviously if you have um prioritization

2761
01:53:39,440 --> 01:53:43,599
what that looks like so that way we know

2762
01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:44,960
what are the ongoing projects not now

2763
01:53:43,599 --> 01:53:46,080
because I know that's a lot of work

2764
01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:48,800
» You know because it is actually

2765
01:53:46,080 --> 01:53:51,920
something that we we maintain a list of

2766
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:54,159
projects um you know when I started here

2767
01:53:51,920 --> 01:53:58,400
last year

2768
01:53:54,159 --> 01:54:03,040
um a forest city of $8,700 $8700 people.

2769
01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:05,679
Um, you know, we had a $37 million CIP

2770
01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:07,760
list. You know, Slow and Santa Maria

2771
01:54:05,679 --> 01:54:10,639
aren't touching a $37 million CIP list,

2772
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:13,199
you know, or if they are, it's because

2773
01:54:10,639 --> 01:54:14,400
it's in their five-year plan, right?

2774
01:54:13,199 --> 01:54:15,760
Theoretically, whenever you're doing

2775
01:54:14,400 --> 01:54:17,199
these projects, it's a five-year plan,

2776
01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:24,080
right? You know, Jeff Comm does a

2777
01:54:17,199 --> 01:54:27,119
five-year pop um for that reason. And um

2778
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:28,880
we shouldn't have started $21 million of

2779
01:54:27,119 --> 01:54:31,119
projects within 6 months of each other,

2780
01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:34,719
right? We should have done 3 million or

2781
01:54:31,119 --> 01:54:36,800
one project, one project. And then we

2782
01:54:34,719 --> 01:54:38,880
wouldn't be stuck with the same problem

2783
01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:40,719
that we're in now where we've started

2784
01:54:38,880 --> 01:54:42,239
projects, got held up by permitting, and

2785
01:54:40,719 --> 01:54:45,119
now,

2786
01:54:42,239 --> 01:54:46,719
you know, the the

2787
01:54:45,119 --> 01:54:49,760
it doesn't make sense for us to stop

2788
01:54:46,719 --> 01:54:51,679
because we're so far as spending goes

2789
01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:53,920
into the project, you know.

2790
01:54:51,679 --> 01:54:56,000
» So, I mean,

2791
01:54:53,920 --> 01:54:58,159
it it's

2792
01:54:56,000 --> 01:55:00,239
I we can't fix the past, you know, all

2793
01:54:58,159 --> 01:55:02,480
we can do is start from right now. U we

2794
01:55:00,239 --> 01:55:05,760
have a list. we've worked and we've cut

2795
01:55:02,480 --> 01:55:07,440
that list from I don't know $37 million

2796
01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:09,360
to I don't know it's probably $5 million

2797
01:55:07,440 --> 01:55:12,800
now. There's probably one thing on there

2798
01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:15,040
um and it's stuff that has to be done or

2799
01:55:12,800 --> 01:55:18,639
um the

2800
01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:23,280
um financial effect of the city isn't

2801
01:55:18,639 --> 01:55:25,040
um great enough that it's going to um be

2802
01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:26,560
detrimental. You know, we have a project

2803
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:29,679
that you guys approved tonight for the

2804
01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:34,000
ADA uh sidewalk at the school. you know,

2805
01:55:29,679 --> 01:55:35,360
like the the cons of that project far

2806
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:37,520
outweigh what we're going to spend on

2807
01:55:35,360 --> 01:55:38,719
that project, you know. So, that that's

2808
01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:42,880
the kind of stuff that we're looking at

2809
01:55:38,719 --> 01:55:44,400
now, you know, and and it's it's we're

2810
01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:47,280
digging into the weeds of all these

2811
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:48,960
things and finding out where the money's

2812
01:55:47,280 --> 01:55:50,960
coming from. Is there a is there a

2813
01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:53,440
deadline on the on the grant? Right? How

2814
01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:55,119
close are we to that deadline? And if

2815
01:55:53,440 --> 01:55:56,639
we're too close, then it's like, hey,

2816
01:55:55,119 --> 01:55:59,679
like the mayor said, we'll just let it

2817
01:55:56,639 --> 01:56:03,199
fall and we'll reapply again. But what

2818
01:55:59,679 --> 01:56:06,159
we can't do is start a grant and then

2819
01:56:03,199 --> 01:56:08,400
let it falter because then we may not

2820
01:56:06,159 --> 01:56:10,000
get that grant again or, you know,

2821
01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:11,760
people start looking at us like, oh, we

2822
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:14,719
can't get those guys money. They can't

2823
01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:17,440
even fill out paperwork, you know. So,

2824
01:56:14,719 --> 01:56:18,800
we're trying to avoid that, but still

2825
01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:21,199
work in a way that we can balance some

2826
01:56:18,800 --> 01:56:24,960
kind of budget.

2827
01:56:21,199 --> 01:56:26,719
» Thank you. I think Christina Council

2828
01:56:24,960 --> 01:56:28,639
says good point. We need that see that

2829
01:56:26,719 --> 01:56:30,639
list. So what it's not all on your

2830
01:56:28,639 --> 01:56:32,800
shoulders that it needs to we weren't

2831
01:56:30,639 --> 01:56:34,960
aware. I think we were aware of the

2832
01:56:32,800 --> 01:56:37,760
different projects that are out there.

2833
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:39,679
The big you know the pie in the sky but

2834
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:42,960
the specifics in terms of reimbursement

2835
01:56:39,679 --> 01:56:45,760
the cost what's it how much lead time is

2836
01:56:42,960 --> 01:56:47,520
there that we have to you know that we

2837
01:56:45,760 --> 01:56:48,800
submit a request for reimbursement. When

2838
01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:50,239
do we get it paid?

2839
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:52,880
» What pocket of money does that come

2840
01:56:50,239 --> 01:56:56,080
from? general fund and then then not now

2841
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:59,360
now we're we're finding out

2842
01:56:56,080 --> 01:57:01,520
to you know too late that that's that's

2843
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:03,360
another way to do business.

2844
01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:07,280
» Hey and you know we're we're making our

2845
01:57:03,360 --> 01:57:11,199
budget based on the grant amount, right?

2846
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:13,760
So, we're we're making um Eli found this

2847
01:57:11,199 --> 01:57:14,639
out last week sometime or a couple weeks

2848
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:17,199
ago where

2849
01:57:14,639 --> 01:57:19,520
» There was grants in there for say $3.5

2850
01:57:17,199 --> 01:57:22,639
million and that's what we're budgeting,

2851
01:57:19,520 --> 01:57:22,960
but the contract amount was only 2.2.

2852
01:57:22,639 --> 01:57:25,040
» Yeah.

2853
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:26,880
» So, now we just took $1.3 million off

2854
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:28,239
our budget that we're no longer worried

2855
01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:29,920
about no more because we're not even

2856
01:57:28,239 --> 01:57:31,360
going to get there. All we need to worry

2857
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:31,760
about is the 2.2.

2858
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:33,440
» Mhm.

2859
01:57:31,760 --> 01:57:35,199
» So, you know, he's started going through

2860
01:57:33,440 --> 01:57:37,280
and picking apart contracts like how

2861
01:57:35,199 --> 01:57:40,159
much is this? How much is this? what is

2862
01:57:37,280 --> 01:57:42,000
the you know the 15% incidental stuff

2863
01:57:40,159 --> 01:57:46,199
and you know all this stuff to actually

2864
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:46,199
get us an actual formulated budget

2865
01:57:46,320 --> 01:57:51,360
» Now um

2866
01:57:49,119 --> 01:57:54,000
you mentioned FEMA where are we with

2867
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:56,400
that that's is we have any

2868
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:58,239
» That is that is the the ghost underneath

2869
01:57:56,400 --> 01:57:59,920
the bed that nobody wants to look at

2870
01:57:58,239 --> 01:58:02,719
» Well can I speak to that as well I think

2871
01:57:59,920 --> 01:58:04,960
I mean just to piggy piggyback on you

2872
01:58:02,719 --> 01:58:07,840
know obviously exclamation mark on

2873
01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:09,679
everything that David said,

2874
01:58:07,840 --> 01:58:11,280
» But with grants, as you know, I think if

2875
01:58:09,679 --> 01:58:13,440
the moral of the story, they're a

2876
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:15,440
blessing and a curse, right? I think for

2877
01:58:13,440 --> 01:58:17,520
for a city, if you manage it

2878
01:58:15,440 --> 01:58:17,840
responsibly, you can do it,

2879
01:58:17,520 --> 01:58:19,360
» Right?

2880
01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:23,599
» And I think the FEMA is a perfect

2881
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:26,639
example of why, yes, it's great to have

2882
01:58:23,599 --> 01:58:29,760
grant money. However, because you're sp

2883
01:58:26,639 --> 01:58:31,360
the outlay of money is comes up front,

2884
01:58:29,760 --> 01:58:33,840
you know, anything that happens, whether

2885
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:36,400
it's staff changes, whether it's a

2886
01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:38,400
report that's required by the federal

2887
01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:40,239
government or whoever you're getting a

2888
01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:42,320
reimbursement from can delay the

2889
01:58:40,239 --> 01:58:46,159
recovery of those funds, we're three

2890
01:58:42,320 --> 01:58:48,560
years or FEMA, three years u out from

2891
01:58:46,159 --> 01:58:49,920
the actual incident now.

2892
01:58:48,560 --> 01:58:51,280
» And so, to answer your question, where

2893
01:58:49,920 --> 01:58:53,679
are we at right now? Right now, it's in

2894
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:55,280
FEMA's right now, it's in FEMA's desk.

2895
01:58:53,679 --> 01:58:56,719
They're analyzing the information that

2896
01:58:55,280 --> 01:58:58,880
we sent them and we're waiting to hear

2897
01:58:56,719 --> 01:59:00,320
back from them. So again, that's out of

2898
01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:02,719
our control right now.

2899
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:06,880
» And so, but again, we're three years out

2900
01:59:02,719 --> 01:59:08,719
from recovering $800,000.

2901
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:13,199
» That's a chunk of change for a city of

2902
01:59:08,719 --> 01:59:16,400
this size. You know, we're um

2903
01:59:13,199 --> 01:59:19,440
the liquidity concerns are are real. Um

2904
01:59:16,400 --> 01:59:21,679
I think with respect to the grants,

2905
01:59:19,440 --> 01:59:23,040
we've you know, David and I have had a

2906
01:59:21,679 --> 01:59:25,360
lot of conversations. He's probably

2907
01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:27,280
tired of hearing from me on on this

2908
01:59:25,360 --> 01:59:29,360
front. And you know, I go in his office.

2909
01:59:27,280 --> 01:59:31,119
I said, "Look at the CIP list." And, you

2910
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:33,119
know, what can we cut? What can we cut

2911
01:59:31,119 --> 01:59:35,599
today? Because, you know, there's no way

2912
01:59:33,119 --> 01:59:38,800
that the city can,

2913
01:59:35,599 --> 01:59:40,639
you know, spend, you know, $10 million

2914
01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:42,000
on this project in this coming year

2915
01:59:40,639 --> 01:59:44,560
because quite frankly, we don't have

2916
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:45,599
that money. We don't have it. I mean,

2917
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:46,880
what are we just going to stop

2918
01:59:45,599 --> 01:59:48,560
operations for the entire city? That's

2919
01:59:46,880 --> 01:59:50,000
not going to happen. So, we have to do

2920
01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:51,679
this a little bit more intelligently and

2921
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:53,840
obviously he's been great about that.

2922
01:59:51,679 --> 01:59:55,920
Um, but just to give you a perspective

2923
01:59:53,840 --> 01:59:59,440
of how we got there and to add to

2924
01:59:55,920 --> 02:00:02,239
David's point, if you turn to page 14,

2925
01:59:59,440 --> 02:00:05,440
um, it's the 14 of the budget worksheet.

2926
02:00:02,239 --> 02:00:06,800
There's two sets of of of page of, uh,

2927
02:00:05,440 --> 02:00:08,159
numbers, and I apologize. I think next

2928
02:00:06,800 --> 02:00:11,280
time I'll I'll give you one set of

2929
02:00:08,159 --> 02:00:12,960
numbers, but it's the fund summary. It's

2930
02:00:11,280 --> 02:00:17,000
should say on the top right, and it's

2931
02:00:12,960 --> 02:00:17,000
says 14 of 14.

2932
02:00:18,639 --> 02:00:25,520
So if you look at that that column on

2933
02:00:20,960 --> 02:00:28,320
the far left 23 24 you have uh a surplus

2934
02:00:25,520 --> 02:00:30,000
of a million dollars.

2935
02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:33,199
And to David's point, the reason that

2936
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:36,480
you have a surplus is because that year,

2937
02:00:33,199 --> 02:00:41,280
if you flip if you flip to if you flip

2938
02:00:36,480 --> 02:00:43,520
back to page three of that same report,

2939
02:00:41,280 --> 02:00:46,719
um you have well, no, not page three.

2940
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:48,239
Let's see. Where is it? Um

2941
02:00:46,719 --> 02:00:51,599
sorry,

2942
02:00:48,239 --> 02:00:54,239
it's under under the grants. Well, for

2943
02:00:51,599 --> 02:00:57,040
for um simplicity sake, let's just say

2944
02:00:54,239 --> 02:00:59,840
it's under the grants inside the general

2945
02:00:57,040 --> 02:01:01,040
revenue. We banked on $1.1 million that

2946
02:00:59,840 --> 02:01:03,599
we were going to receive. I know what

2947
02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:05,360
that was supposed to be for.

2948
02:01:03,599 --> 02:01:07,040
That money got baked into the general

2949
02:01:05,360 --> 02:01:09,520
fund.

2950
02:01:07,040 --> 02:01:10,960
And um

2951
02:01:09,520 --> 02:01:12,480
you know, although that money hasn't

2952
02:01:10,960 --> 02:01:15,199
been spent for what it was supposed to

2953
02:01:12,480 --> 02:01:17,199
be spent, it inflated the revenues

2954
02:01:15,199 --> 02:01:20,320
» And we we spent like as if we had a

2955
02:01:17,199 --> 02:01:22,639
million $1.1 million more.

2956
02:01:20,320 --> 02:01:24,880
So that's the problem with that that way

2957
02:01:22,639 --> 02:01:27,440
of thinking. And as you can see, 2425

2958
02:01:24,880 --> 02:01:29,199
budget deficit, 25 26 budget deficit,

2959
02:01:27,440 --> 02:01:31,599
and the budget deficit is just going to

2960
02:01:29,199 --> 02:01:34,400
keep compounding. So, we're here for a

2961
02:01:31,599 --> 02:01:36,159
reason. And so, and if we don't change

2962
02:01:34,400 --> 02:01:37,360
the trajectory of of this, the numbers

2963
02:01:36,159 --> 02:01:41,280
are just going to get bigger and bigger

2964
02:01:37,360 --> 02:01:44,480
and bigger. Um, and so I just want to

2965
02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:46,400
make sure that for purposes of clarity

2966
02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:47,599
for me and and maybe I don't know, for

2967
02:01:46,400 --> 02:01:50,800
the rest of us to make sure that we're

2968
02:01:47,599 --> 02:01:53,280
on on the right path. um you want us to

2969
02:01:50,800 --> 02:01:56,320
come back with areas where we we could

2970
02:01:53,280 --> 02:01:57,920
cut costs um to give you sort of a

2971
02:01:56,320 --> 02:02:00,719
visual of you know by department and

2972
02:01:57,920 --> 02:02:02,639
give you some options um and and then

2973
02:02:00,719 --> 02:02:04,080
just from my perspective it's going to

2974
02:02:02,639 --> 02:02:05,920
be important to understand whether or

2975
02:02:04,080 --> 02:02:07,280
not service levels are on the table as

2976
02:02:05,920 --> 02:02:09,199
well because that's really where you're

2977
02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:10,480
going to have the most impact

2978
02:02:09,199 --> 02:02:12,400
» Because if you're going to if you're

2979
02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:15,040
going to tell us we want the exact same

2980
02:02:12,400 --> 02:02:16,560
service level and magically cut costs I

2981
02:02:15,040 --> 02:02:17,920
think we're going to be having the same

2982
02:02:16,560 --> 02:02:20,080
conversation and we're not going to get

2983
02:02:17,920 --> 02:02:20,080
anywhere.

2984
02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:28,000
Can you see it? Okay. No, we need we

2985
02:02:26,159 --> 02:02:30,000
need that. And it's our job to, you

2986
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:32,560
know, to basically

2987
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:34,080
say yay or nay to these things. And it's

2988
02:02:32,560 --> 02:02:36,239
um

2989
02:02:34,080 --> 02:02:40,480
on these numbers that you've got here 20

2990
02:02:36,239 --> 02:02:42,239
24. I know that um

2991
02:02:40,480 --> 02:02:44,159
where did you where did you get these?

2992
02:02:42,239 --> 02:02:45,920
Where where did you find these numbers?

2993
02:02:44,159 --> 02:02:46,880
Are you digging into them? Where do you

2994
02:02:45,920 --> 02:02:48,159
where do you

2995
02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:50,080
» Those are numbers that have always been

2996
02:02:48,159 --> 02:02:51,920
there. I haven't changed 20 I haven't

2997
02:02:50,080 --> 02:02:53,679
changed 23 24. I haven't changed any of

2998
02:02:51,920 --> 02:02:56,239
those pri the only year that I've

2999
02:02:53,679 --> 02:02:58,480
touched is 26 27

3000
02:02:56,239 --> 02:03:00,159
» And so those have always been there. And

3001
02:02:58,480 --> 02:03:01,920
the challenge and as I'm looking through

3002
02:03:00,159 --> 02:03:03,520
this you know my goal is to balance

3003
02:03:01,920 --> 02:03:04,080
these these accounts.

3004
02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:05,440
» Yes. Yeah.

3005
02:03:04,080 --> 02:03:07,280
» To have a balanced budget. That's where

3006
02:03:05,440 --> 02:03:08,400
the term comes from is a balanced budget

3007
02:03:07,280 --> 02:03:10,719
means that

3008
02:03:08,400 --> 02:03:13,840
» If you look at the expendit the revenues

3009
02:03:10,719 --> 02:03:15,440
and the expenditures for the account

3010
02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:15,840
» The outcome is zero because

3011
02:03:15,440 --> 02:03:17,199
» Right

3012
02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:19,119
» Right that's what city government you're

3013
02:03:17,199 --> 02:03:19,679
not in you're not here to make a profit

3014
02:03:19,119 --> 02:03:21,280
» Right

3015
02:03:19,679 --> 02:03:22,560
» Right so you're expending as much money

3016
02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:25,199
as you're taking in and you're using it

3017
02:03:22,560 --> 02:03:27,119
wisely so if you look at prior years and

3018
02:03:25,199 --> 02:03:28,880
and you can look at this later on but

3019
02:03:27,119 --> 02:03:30,560
you look at the accounts and the net the

3020
02:03:28,880 --> 02:03:33,920
net of those accounts is not going to be

3021
02:03:30,560 --> 02:03:35,760
zero okay you're if you would have kept

3022
02:03:33,920 --> 02:03:37,760
to those budgets as you would have

3023
02:03:35,760 --> 02:03:40,400
planned in the budgets, you you would

3024
02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:41,920
have intentionally over spent.

3025
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:43,599
» And that's the problem, right? So, I

3026
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:44,960
think we we need to cut that down. And

3027
02:03:43,599 --> 02:03:47,760
now that we've sort of tred it up and

3028
02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:50,320
said, "Okay, we can't we can't just say

3029
02:03:47,760 --> 02:03:52,320
we can't just say um we're not looking

3030
02:03:50,320 --> 02:03:54,159
at the enterprise funds today, but we

3031
02:03:52,320 --> 02:03:56,320
will." And I have a pretty solid idea

3032
02:03:54,159 --> 02:03:57,760
what those look like. But we can't say

3033
02:03:56,320 --> 02:04:00,239
say we're going to take, you know,

3034
02:03:57,760 --> 02:04:02,159
$800,000 from the enterprise fund when

3035
02:04:00,239 --> 02:04:05,199
the enterprise fund is not doesn't have

3036
02:04:02,159 --> 02:04:06,800
an extra $800,000 to take from it.

3037
02:04:05,199 --> 02:04:08,400
So, we just need to pump the brakes on

3038
02:04:06,800 --> 02:04:09,119
that, right? So, I I think we need to

3039
02:04:08,400 --> 02:04:11,920
figure out where we're going to get

3040
02:04:09,119 --> 02:04:14,320
those other $800 $800,000 from if it's

3041
02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:15,920
not going to be there.

3042
02:04:14,320 --> 02:04:19,760
» I just had a quick question for Mr.

3043
02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:23,440
Single. Um I know that um

3044
02:04:19,760 --> 02:04:26,480
Mr. Eli was referencing the 2023 2024

3045
02:04:23,440 --> 02:04:28,400
unudited um financials. Is there

3046
02:04:26,480 --> 02:04:30,639
anything as council that we can do to

3047
02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:32,800
safeguard the city? maybe a policy in

3048
02:04:30,639 --> 02:04:36,080
place that ensures that we have to do

3049
02:04:32,800 --> 02:04:38,480
these audits every year. I'm not too

3050
02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:40,320
sure.

3051
02:04:38,480 --> 02:04:43,360
» I

3052
02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:47,040
you certainly could have council policy

3053
02:04:43,360 --> 02:04:48,719
directing staff to do that. Um you could

3054
02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:49,760
probably adopt an ordinance to that

3055
02:04:48,719 --> 02:04:51,199
effect.

3056
02:04:49,760 --> 02:04:54,639
um

3057
02:04:51,199 --> 02:04:56,159
» What would be this I guess the best um I

3058
02:04:54,639 --> 02:04:59,440
would just like to have some safeguards

3059
02:04:56,159 --> 02:05:01,520
moving forward um to make sure that

3060
02:04:59,440 --> 02:05:04,480
we're not working with un audited

3061
02:05:01,520 --> 02:05:07,199
numbers in the future

3062
02:05:04,480 --> 02:05:09,520
» I could get back to you and see you know

3063
02:05:07,199 --> 02:05:11,119
what your options are I have to I wasn't

3064
02:05:09,520 --> 02:05:13,040
prepared to answer any questions during

3065
02:05:11,119 --> 02:05:14,800
this particular segment um

3066
02:05:13,040 --> 02:05:16,800
» Worries I just know that this impacts

3067
02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:17,199
our our residents and our communities

3068
02:05:16,800 --> 02:05:19,599
first

3069
02:05:17,199 --> 02:05:23,920
» Well a lot of agencies that that we get

3070
02:05:19,599 --> 02:05:24,159
money from want an audit. So, it's why

3071
02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:25,760
» Well,

3072
02:05:24,159 --> 02:05:27,440
» We shouldn't have to say you're gonna

3073
02:05:25,760 --> 02:05:29,679
we're gonna get it done. It's our it's

3074
02:05:27,440 --> 02:05:30,639
our job and our job the council will

3075
02:05:29,679 --> 02:05:32,560
make it happen. So,

3076
02:05:30,639 --> 02:05:34,960
» Well, and it it's my understanding that

3077
02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:36,400
both state and county have audit

3078
02:05:34,960 --> 02:05:36,960
requirements in place. Correct.

3079
02:05:36,400 --> 02:05:38,960
» That's right.

3080
02:05:36,960 --> 02:05:41,040
» Yeah. So, the county the council doesn't

3081
02:05:38,960 --> 02:05:42,719
necessarily need to do that because the

3082
02:05:41,040 --> 02:05:42,960
state and county already do that.

3083
02:05:42,719 --> 02:05:44,400
» Yeah.

3084
02:05:42,960 --> 02:05:46,159
» So, previously we would have just told

3085
02:05:44,400 --> 02:05:48,080
them we did it or what would happen?

3086
02:05:46,159 --> 02:05:49,760
What would those conversations been? It

3087
02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:51,760
probably went something along the lines

3088
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:53,520
of the same thing everybody in the

3089
02:05:51,760 --> 02:05:56,159
county did not too long ago when

3090
02:05:53,520 --> 02:05:59,360
everybody was had submitted unodudited

3091
02:05:56,159 --> 02:06:00,480
reports to what was it the SBG that

3092
02:05:59,360 --> 02:06:03,520
everybody just did it.

3093
02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:06,320
» Yeah. to to just provide something and

3094
02:06:03,520 --> 02:06:10,320
then

3095
02:06:06,320 --> 02:06:11,360
probably nobody stayed on top of it here

3096
02:06:10,320 --> 02:06:11,840
» To ensure that

3097
02:06:11,360 --> 02:06:13,440
» Right

3098
02:06:11,840 --> 02:06:15,760
» You know because I mean

3099
02:06:13,440 --> 02:06:17,599
» Whatever that last one was it TDA that

3100
02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:20,000
was submitted a couple months ago that

3101
02:06:17,599 --> 02:06:21,920
everybody should submitted unodudited

3102
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:24,080
reports

3103
02:06:21,920 --> 02:06:24,960
you know you have to stay on it you know

3104
02:06:24,080 --> 02:06:27,199
and

3105
02:06:24,960 --> 02:06:28,320
» You know God bless Eli you know he's

3106
02:06:27,199 --> 02:06:31,840
coming in here

3107
02:06:28,320 --> 02:06:33,840
» Guns blazing and he he's trying to if if

3108
02:06:31,840 --> 02:06:36,800
we didn't have RGS and we didn't have a

3109
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:38,719
net working side by side like we

3110
02:06:36,800 --> 02:06:40,000
wouldn't even be even kind of having

3111
02:06:38,719 --> 02:06:41,520
this discussion yet probably.

3112
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:43,199
» Thank you for that. Um I was new to

3113
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:44,639
council so this is my fourth year but I

3114
02:06:43,199 --> 02:06:46,639
don't think it was ever shared like this

3115
02:06:44,639 --> 02:06:48,719
needs to be audited until last year that

3116
02:06:46,639 --> 02:06:50,400
was raised to us and so that's why you

3117
02:06:48,719 --> 02:06:52,320
know we will have obviously one day

3118
02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:54,480
where none of these councils will be

3119
02:06:52,320 --> 02:06:55,840
here so what safeguards will be in place

3120
02:06:54,480 --> 02:06:57,199
to make sure that you know

3121
02:06:55,840 --> 02:06:59,360
» Well I'm I'm assuming that's why you

3122
02:06:57,199 --> 02:07:01,199
have like Gazsby and the caffer and all

3123
02:06:59,360 --> 02:07:02,159
this stuff all these financial terms

3124
02:07:01,199 --> 02:07:04,400
dictate right

3125
02:07:02,159 --> 02:07:08,480
» Yeah there's definitely there's this

3126
02:07:04,400 --> 02:07:11,679
thing's on um there's definitely u

3127
02:07:08,480 --> 02:07:14,480
regulation and there's guidance on, you

3128
02:07:11,679 --> 02:07:16,400
know, on these types of things. The

3129
02:07:14,480 --> 02:07:19,280
challenge, and I wasn't here, the

3130
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:20,480
challenge is the how it fell behind

3131
02:07:19,280 --> 02:07:21,840
» And there could been there could have

3132
02:07:20,480 --> 02:07:23,199
been a multitude of things that

3133
02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:25,440
happened. I I don't know that I can

3134
02:07:23,199 --> 02:07:27,280
speak to that. Um, and I also will say

3135
02:07:25,440 --> 02:07:29,840
this. I was at a breakfast the other day

3136
02:07:27,280 --> 02:07:33,360
with the finance directors of

3137
02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:35,840
surrounding areas and, you know, several

3138
02:07:33,360 --> 02:07:38,400
of them were behind on their audits and

3139
02:07:35,840 --> 02:07:39,840
for their cities. That being said, it it

3140
02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:41,119
doesn't necessarily help us in any way,

3141
02:07:39,840 --> 02:07:42,639
shape, or form that everybody else is

3142
02:07:41,119 --> 02:07:44,639
behind or others are behind, right?

3143
02:07:42,639 --> 02:07:47,599
We're we're still being gated on

3144
02:07:44,639 --> 02:07:50,079
accessing our funds. We have about over

3145
02:07:47,599 --> 02:07:54,159
a million dollars that are waiting uh to

3146
02:07:50,079 --> 02:07:55,520
be distributed to us from um SPAG and

3147
02:07:54,159 --> 02:07:56,719
they won't give it to us until we have

3148
02:07:55,520 --> 02:07:58,480
our audits done.

3149
02:07:56,719 --> 02:08:01,199
» Mhm.

3150
02:07:58,480 --> 02:08:02,719
» So, it's a challenge

3151
02:08:01,199 --> 02:08:06,159
» And it's all money that's already been

3152
02:08:02,719 --> 02:08:08,400
spent, right? You know, we look at and

3153
02:08:06,159 --> 02:08:10,639
you know, we're going to face this

3154
02:08:08,400 --> 02:08:14,719
probably in every six months until

3155
02:08:10,639 --> 02:08:18,480
Highway 166 is done. And that's we have

3156
02:08:14,719 --> 02:08:21,280
to pay a portion of that, right? Like

3157
02:08:18,480 --> 02:08:24,159
we're required to pay $4 million into

3158
02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:26,639
that construction. How do we do that if

3159
02:08:24,159 --> 02:08:27,760
we don't have $4 million or we're not

3160
02:08:26,639 --> 02:08:29,920
getting our audits done to get

3161
02:08:27,760 --> 02:08:31,679
reimbursements from SBK so that we do

3162
02:08:29,920 --> 02:08:32,719
have that $4 million so that we can make

3163
02:08:31,679 --> 02:08:34,880
that payment,

3164
02:08:32,719 --> 02:08:38,000
» You know, and

3165
02:08:34,880 --> 02:08:41,119
you know, we could try to to

3166
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:44,239
we don't have the safeguards in place

3167
02:08:41,119 --> 02:08:47,199
that we had prior whenever we were in

3168
02:08:44,239 --> 02:08:50,320
the same situation. You know, we can't

3169
02:08:47,199 --> 02:08:52,960
sell the water tower again. We can't

3170
02:08:50,320 --> 02:08:54,560
» Take money from Pasadera again. We we

3171
02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:57,360
don't have that option anymore, you

3172
02:08:54,560 --> 02:09:00,320
know. So, um

3173
02:08:57,360 --> 02:09:01,920
we can hope that maybe the folks that

3174
02:09:00,320 --> 02:09:03,679
bought the land over here off of Flower

3175
02:09:01,920 --> 02:09:05,360
want to annex into the city and start a

3176
02:09:03,679 --> 02:09:07,119
development. I I don't know. We can we

3177
02:09:05,360 --> 02:09:08,239
can hope something like that happens.

3178
02:09:07,119 --> 02:09:09,760
But you're still looking at, you know,

3179
02:09:08,239 --> 02:09:13,840
10 years down the road or something, you

3180
02:09:09,760 --> 02:09:16,639
know. Um it it's unfortunate our sphere

3181
02:09:13,840 --> 02:09:19,199
of influence right doesn't really reach

3182
02:09:16,639 --> 02:09:21,679
very far because of the shape of our

3183
02:09:19,199 --> 02:09:23,360
city the development opportunities

3184
02:09:21,679 --> 02:09:25,760
within our city things that give all

3185
02:09:23,360 --> 02:09:29,119
these other cities economic

3186
02:09:25,760 --> 02:09:30,320
um hope we don't really have because our

3187
02:09:29,119 --> 02:09:31,119
city's essentially developed.

3188
02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:34,880
» Yeah. We're locked in,

3189
02:09:31,119 --> 02:09:37,520
» Right? We're kind of unless we seek to

3190
02:09:34,880 --> 02:09:40,560
start going out and taking property

3191
02:09:37,520 --> 02:09:43,040
going towards the coast or you know

3192
02:09:40,560 --> 02:09:46,000
towards Santa Maria. I mean

3193
02:09:43,040 --> 02:09:47,760
» But we still hit all these agricultural

3194
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:48,960
uh

3195
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:50,480
things that are going to block us from

3196
02:09:48,960 --> 02:09:54,079
any kind of future development anytime

3197
02:09:50,480 --> 02:10:00,560
soon you know. So

3198
02:09:54,079 --> 02:10:02,159
» So what's next? Uh, next we will um

3199
02:10:00,560 --> 02:10:04,000
I kind of have a plan that you've

3200
02:10:02,159 --> 02:10:05,199
already that you requested. I kind of

3201
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:09,079
already have something like that already

3202
02:10:05,199 --> 02:10:09,079
in place. Um,

3203
02:10:09,679 --> 02:10:14,480
and I think I've already kind of started

3204
02:10:11,599 --> 02:10:18,159
working off that, but uh we could

3205
02:10:14,480 --> 02:10:23,360
present that. Um, and then we will have

3206
02:10:18,159 --> 02:10:28,480
a re or we will have a

3207
02:10:23,360 --> 02:10:30,239
enterprise funds next. Um,

3208
02:10:28,480 --> 02:10:32,800
and

3209
02:10:30,239 --> 02:10:34,639
or would you prefer us to reattack this

3210
02:10:32,800 --> 02:10:36,079
one again and then Enterprise?

3211
02:10:34,639 --> 02:10:37,760
Enterprise is going to be pretty cut and

3212
02:10:36,079 --> 02:10:39,040
dry, right? I mean, it's

3213
02:10:37,760 --> 02:10:40,560
» Prejudice. Yes, it is what it is.

3214
02:10:39,040 --> 02:10:44,239
» I think we need to get this

3215
02:10:40,560 --> 02:10:45,199
» This. Yeah. you know, next two weeks

3216
02:10:44,239 --> 02:10:45,920
we'll come back with

3217
02:10:45,199 --> 02:10:48,400
» Okay

3218
02:10:45,920 --> 02:10:50,320
» Some options of

3219
02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:52,560
corporate restructuring

3220
02:10:50,320 --> 02:10:54,079
» That and and you know I know that we had

3221
02:10:52,560 --> 02:10:56,079
we went through a different financial

3222
02:10:54,079 --> 02:10:57,599
system and a finance system so everybody

3223
02:10:56,079 --> 02:10:59,520
says well that's the problem because we

3224
02:10:57,599 --> 02:11:02,560
couldn't one couldn't talk to the other

3225
02:10:59,520 --> 02:11:03,599
and and I think Eli's

3226
02:11:02,560 --> 02:11:05,360
» Looking through that.

3227
02:11:03,599 --> 02:11:07,199
» Yeah. But yeah, I mean even talking to

3228
02:11:05,360 --> 02:11:11,040
the pros that are assisting us, you

3229
02:11:07,199 --> 02:11:14,480
know, once we get 22 23 done, we will

3230
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:18,719
only be on our current financial system

3231
02:11:14,480 --> 02:11:20,400
and there's not a a glimmer of it

3232
02:11:18,719 --> 02:11:20,719
increasing the speed in which this is

3233
02:11:20,400 --> 02:11:21,840
done,

3234
02:11:20,719 --> 02:11:23,199
» Right? Okay. That's

3235
02:11:21,840 --> 02:11:25,199
» Yeah, because that's been my question

3236
02:11:23,199 --> 02:11:26,719
too. Okay, once we get on the same we

3237
02:11:25,199 --> 02:11:27,760
get on the software we're using now, you

3238
02:11:26,719 --> 02:11:29,199
know, we're just going to be firing on

3239
02:11:27,760 --> 02:11:29,599
all cylinders and no, it's not like

3240
02:11:29,199 --> 02:11:32,800
that.

3241
02:11:29,599 --> 02:11:34,320
» Okay. Yeah. you know, because now you

3242
02:11:32,800 --> 02:11:35,199
know where to look to find where

3243
02:11:34,320 --> 02:11:35,920
everything's hidden,

3244
02:11:35,199 --> 02:11:38,719
» Right?

3245
02:11:35,920 --> 02:11:40,000
» So, depending on the auditor and you

3246
02:11:38,719 --> 02:11:41,199
know how far they want to go down the

3247
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:42,800
rabbit hole,

3248
02:11:41,199 --> 02:11:46,079
» You know, I'm not going to blame

3249
02:11:42,800 --> 02:11:50,239
anybody, but over the last year and a

3250
02:11:46,079 --> 02:11:53,199
half before Eli got here is that

3251
02:11:50,239 --> 02:11:56,560
normally we had financial reports on a

3252
02:11:53,199 --> 02:11:59,119
monthly basis to show where we were. Um

3253
02:11:56,560 --> 02:12:02,560
then it showed the reserve it showed and

3254
02:11:59,119 --> 02:12:05,280
then for some reason that didn't happen

3255
02:12:02,560 --> 02:12:09,440
and then all of a sudden we find out

3256
02:12:05,280 --> 02:12:13,280
that the 22 23 audit wasn't done. So

3257
02:12:09,440 --> 02:12:15,280
then we said why not? Um

3258
02:12:13,280 --> 02:12:18,480
we have to look forward but we can't we

3259
02:12:15,280 --> 02:12:21,199
can't we can't rehash that because it's

3260
02:12:18,480 --> 02:12:24,239
gone in terms of the you know where we

3261
02:12:21,199 --> 02:12:25,760
are. But I think it bring bring it back

3262
02:12:24,239 --> 02:12:27,920
so we could chew on it. So we could see

3263
02:12:25,760 --> 02:12:29,199
just like you know the list of the

3264
02:12:27,920 --> 02:12:31,360
projects that we have what's it going to

3265
02:12:29,199 --> 02:12:33,599
cost us to you know if we move forward

3266
02:12:31,360 --> 02:12:36,719
with this uh

3267
02:12:33,599 --> 02:12:39,760
um we need to know that so that you will

3268
02:12:36,719 --> 02:12:43,040
have direction uh you know from us.

3269
02:12:39,760 --> 02:12:48,920
building it very well.

3270
02:12:43,040 --> 02:12:48,920
» Any comments from council Jane?

3271
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:56,560
» Just repeating once we get this data uh

3272
02:12:53,040 --> 02:12:56,880
projects and departmental u information.

3273
02:12:56,560 --> 02:13:00,560
» Yeah.

3274
02:12:56,880 --> 02:13:03,119
» Um that's exactly what we need and uh

3275
02:13:00,560 --> 02:13:05,119
can make some good decisions next

3276
02:13:03,119 --> 02:13:08,639
council meeting. Are we going to have a

3277
02:13:05,119 --> 02:13:11,280
a budget workshop uh

3278
02:13:08,639 --> 02:13:12,400
to go into detail in this? Is it or

3279
02:13:11,280 --> 02:13:14,159
we're just going to

3280
02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:14,800
» Yeah, we can go into as much detail as

3281
02:13:14,159 --> 02:13:15,599
you want.

3282
02:13:14,800 --> 02:13:17,599
» Okay.

3283
02:13:15,599 --> 02:13:19,599
» Um

3284
02:13:17,599 --> 02:13:21,840
that this was a good overview. So if

3285
02:13:19,599 --> 02:13:24,079
next

3286
02:13:21,840 --> 02:13:24,800
» Man we got a lot coming up over the next

3287
02:13:24,079 --> 02:13:26,079
month, okay,

3288
02:13:24,800 --> 02:13:26,880
» Because of uh

3289
02:13:26,079 --> 02:13:28,159
» As long as you give us

3290
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:30,239
» Because we have elections and all this

3291
02:13:28,159 --> 02:13:31,280
stuff, you know, so uh we have stuff

3292
02:13:30,239 --> 02:13:34,480
that has to get passed. So

3293
02:13:31,280 --> 02:13:36,079
» Okay. Um but we will dig into as much as

3294
02:13:34,480 --> 02:13:38,000
this as

3295
02:13:36,079 --> 02:13:39,040
» You want

3296
02:13:38,000 --> 02:13:39,599
powerpoints and

3297
02:13:39,040 --> 02:13:40,880
» Okay good

3298
02:13:39,599 --> 02:13:41,520
» All this stuff if that's

3299
02:13:40,880 --> 02:13:43,760
» Yeah good

3300
02:13:41,520 --> 02:13:46,639
» Make it more um

3301
02:13:43,760 --> 02:13:50,880
» So you can see it better

3302
02:13:46,639 --> 02:13:55,440

3380
02:17:00,160 --> 02:17:04,240

» Thank you. I attended the Hancock uh

3382
02:17:04,240 --> 02:17:08,479
Hanok Scholarship Celebration. I think

3383
02:17:06,399 --> 02:17:10,319
there's over 300 students receiving

3384
02:17:08,479 --> 02:17:12,399
awards. It was really exciting to see

3385
02:17:10,319 --> 02:17:14,479
them celebrate with their parents, have

3386
02:17:12,399 --> 02:17:16,160
that conversation. I also attended

3387
02:17:14,479 --> 02:17:19,439
cruise night in Santa Maria this past

3388
02:17:16,160 --> 02:17:22,000
Friday. Um and then recently uh today I

3389
02:17:19,439 --> 02:17:24,559

02:17:22,000 --> 02:17:26,880
Catholic charity workers from Guadalupe

3391
02:17:24,559 --> 02:17:30,160
um unfortunately being revved up by ICE

3392
02:17:26,880 --> 02:17:31,760
um officers at the jail and um it's

3393
02:17:30,160 --> 02:17:35,599
unfortunate to just see that. Just

3394
02:17:31,760 --> 02:17:38,639

02:17:49,840 --> 02:17:54,719
We we took over 40 chairs

3400

and then we actually had to double it

3401
02:17:54,719 --> 02:17:57,200
because there were so many people that

3402
02:17:55,840 --> 02:18:00,319
were there. So, it was a good it was a

3403
02:17:57,200 --> 02:18:05,599
good turnout and Naros did provide the

3404
02:18:00,319 --> 02:18:07,439
food. uh the the the group 371 and 982

3405
02:18:05,599 --> 02:18:09,760
paid for it, but it was good good food.

So, thank group for putting that

3407
02:18:09,760 --> 02:18:15,679
