[4:21] Irizarry, is out.

[4:24] He's out on a fire.

[15:14] you want to make some comments before I go down there

[15:17] and present the letters?

[15:18] Yeah, Real quick.

[15:19] Yeah.

[15:20] I think it's very fitting.

[15:22] This is fire season for us and it's a first

[15:25] for our families over the years have stepped in

[15:28] for us from root.

[15:29] And that support system of extended family

[15:33] you know relatives, kids, wives, husbands stepping in.

[15:37] And when you're gone for weeks at a time is so important.

[15:40] But this is the first time I've ever

[15:41] seen them accept award for us.

[15:42] So pretty, pretty remarkable.

[15:46] Good evening, mayors.

[15:47] Silliness.

[15:48] Members of city council and residents of Hayward.

[15:50] Thank you for giving us the opportunity tonight

[15:52] to recognize these three members of the Hayward Fire Department

[15:54] for actions worthy of special recognition.

[15:57] Firefighter Klimek and Battalion Chief Ferguson apparatus topper

[16:00] Irizarry were nominated for unique citations based

[16:03] on their actions in two separate structure fires earlier

[16:06] this year in both incidents Their training

[16:09] situational awareness and willingness to act

[16:11] had a direct impact on the people we serve Firefighters

[16:15] generally do not seek recognition

[16:17] for doing their jobs, and I think

[16:18] most would tell you they're simply doing

[16:20] what they were trained to do.

[16:22] However, there are moments when individual actions stand out

[16:25] and deserve to be recognized.

[16:27] These moments also demonstrate ways

[16:29] why we invest so much time in training, preparation

[16:33] and developing our people.

[16:34] When conditions are at their worst

[16:36] and decisions need to be made quickly,

[16:38] that preparation matters.

[16:40] These rescues were not accomplished

[16:42] by one person working alone.

[16:44] Fire Task Force Plant research.

[16:46] Ventilation DCMs Communications and command all had to occur.

[16:50] Similar famously and effectively for those incidents

[16:52] to have successful outcomes.

[16:54] These incidents also reflect the work

[16:56] our members have put into strengthening our search

[16:58] capabilities and preparing our firefighters to make

[17:01] good decisions under pressure.

[17:03] That preparation creates the opportunity

[17:05] for individual actions to take a meaningful difference Tonight,

[17:09] we recognize these three individuals will also

[17:11] recognize this, recognizing the crews who worked besides them.

[17:15] Unfortunately, apparatus operator Irizarry

[17:17] was unable to join us tonight because he's currently assigned

[17:21] to the timber fire in Big Sur.

[17:23] His deployment is part of a broader commitment The Hayward

[17:26] firefighters this season with our members

[17:27] responding to incidents in Washington, Oregon

[17:29] and throughout California, well, we wish he could be here tonight

[17:33] We are grateful that members of his family

[17:35] are here to accept the award on his behalf.

[17:37] His absence is a fit to reminder that our members not only serve

[17:41] the Hayward, but communities across the country when they're

[17:43] called firefight or clinic firefighter or battalion chief

[17:47] Ferguson and apparatus here has already

[17:48] demonstrated that situational awareness, decisive teamwork

[17:51] work and commitment to serve that we

[17:53] expect from the members of the Hayward Fire Department.

[17:55] More importantly, their actions made a difference

[17:57] for people experiencing what was like, most likely one

[18:00] of the worst days of their lives.

[18:02] I am proud to recognize their performance and their service

[18:05] to the community.

[18:06] With that, it is my privilege to present firefighter Mitch

[18:09] Klimek.

[18:10] Battalion Chief Darren Ferguson and Operator

[18:12] as apparatus operator John Irizarry

[18:15] with the Hayward Fire department Unit Citation for Paul.

[18:42] So just take a look at this.

[18:45] Skip address.

[18:50] Thank you OK.

[18:53] And why don't we all go down there?

[18:56] Yeah Oh, yeah.

[19:22] Yeah.

[19:24] This is Yeah.

[19:33] OK Yes Yes Nice.

[20:24] Okay And in chief.

[20:28] Henry, if you can, please, please

[20:31] tell the men and women of the Hayward Fire Department

[20:36] to please be safe out there.

[20:38] And particularly the folks that are throughout the state

[20:42] and throughout the western region of the United States

[20:44] to be.

[20:45] Please be safe out there.

[20:47] Thank you.

[20:48] Let's give the fire department another big round

[20:51] of applause Okay.

[21:04] What I'm going to do now is I'm going

[21:06] to move on to the public comments Public comment is

[21:11] reserved for anybody in the audience or online.

[21:15] That would like to make a public comment on something that is not

[22:39] Our per say disruptive to a meeting and will not be

[22:43] tolerated And in we can and we may refer items

[22:50] to staff at the conclusion of public comment.

[22:54] So with that said, I like to move

[22:58] to our first public commenter is Mala sattar or Sister Safer?

[23:07] Thank you i wrote this down.

[23:22] So I don't forget anything.

[23:24] I have been as a resident of Hayward

[23:27] for 40 years, more than half my life.

[23:30] I married a lifelong Hayward man and raised my two sons here.

[23:34] I was the office manager at Eldridge school for 17 years.

[23:39] I consider Hayward my home, and I care deeply about her.

[23:43] But since March of 2025, I have been

[23:46] focused on what was happening in Washington, D.C.,

[23:49] and how it was negatively affecting the whole country.

[23:53] So I started a protest group and we

[23:55] are here at City Hall by the farmers market every Saturday.

[23:59] For the past 17 months.

[24:01] I am embarrassed to admit I was so focused on national issues

[24:05] that I knew nothing until a month ago

[24:08] about the SVO three, a data center being

[24:12] built in my own city.

[24:14] For the last eight months.

[24:16] I have been following the growing concerns of people

[24:19] in every state where data centers were trying

[24:22] to get built. I have seen these people

[24:24] find ways to pump information into their communities

[24:27] and rally people to stop construction

[24:30] from being approved or finding creative ways to limit water

[24:34] or electric access.

[24:35] Critical for the center's operation What I discovered here

[24:40] is that most residents were like me,

[24:44] not even aware of the data center here being

[24:46] approved in March of 25, and construction currently underway.

[24:51] Like me, thousands of Hayward residents

[24:54] were shocked to learn only recently, the water

[24:57] and electricity demands.

[24:59] This center or would place on our resources

[25:02] daily, as well as the environment

[25:04] affect of 28 diesel powered backup generators are

[25:09] huge proof with no solar collectors

[25:12] or storage batteries planned.

[25:15] We know you have agendas for a September meeting,

[25:18] a ban on future data centers.

[25:20] However we have grave concerns about this one,

[25:24] and we would like you to form a committee that

[25:26] includes community members as soon as possible

[25:29] to study these issues to determine what amendments

[25:33] can be negotiated and added to construction requirements.

[25:37] This cannot wait As construction continues.

[25:40] And we would also like to know the expected date of completion

[25:44] of the SB 03A.

[25:47] I know you can't address the things I'm bringing up today,

[25:50] but I thank you for giving me the opportunity.

[25:52] Tunity to speak about them.

[25:54] And I just want to put one note in here today,

[25:58] Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania

[26:01] signed the most stringent executive order in the country

[26:07] to limit data centers, meaning they have to comply,

[26:10] they have to generate their own electrical power.

[26:14] And they may not pollute water or air.

[26:18] I'm not sure that we've made sure

[26:21] that this data center is going to comply with things like that.

[26:25] But I certainly think it bears something

[26:27] that we should look into.

[26:28] And I welcome the opportunity to see You more about this issue.

[26:33] Thank you And you are right at three minutes

[26:50] Cheryl, is that you're doing, you're no.

[27:04] Hit the button Okay.

[27:07] Well, you can see from the signs on my shirt

[27:10] that I'm actually here to speak about savings.

[27:12] SkyWest has an open space park in Hayward.

[27:15] Some of you know me from a previous committee meeting.

[27:17] I want to turn and face the audience that you can also see.

[27:21] I'm here to speak for the thousands of people in Hayward

[27:24] who support maintaining SkyWest, the former golf course,

[27:27] as an open space park.

[27:28] You can rotate the microphone.

[27:30] Sure.

[27:31] Yes.

[27:31] Yeah, for the podium itself.

[27:33] OK, good.

[27:34] That works because we need first of all, excuse me.

[27:37] The rest of what I'm saying here has yes.

[27:40] To open space Okay.

[27:43] Thank.

[27:45] Perfect.

[27:45] Thank you.

[27:46] No, to airport development and parks for people who live here.

[27:52] That's what we stand for.

[27:53] And there's an actual campaign to save SkyWest

[27:55] before I say a little bit more about that,

[27:57] I want to say I completely support

[27:59] the comments made by Marla.

[28:01] I've only learned recently about the air development.

[28:04] Hayward And I was shocked, surprised and disappointed

[28:08] and extremely upset.

[28:10] But I believe we actually have for air centers that

[28:13] are in process right now and nobody knew about them.

[28:15] So this is actually related to the topic of SkyWest

[28:18] because it has to do with land use decisions and resource

[28:22] making.

[28:23] How resources are used here in Hayward by the city council.

[28:26] So sort of lost my train of thought here.

[28:31] If you don't know about SkyWest, it's

[28:34] i live right near the Hayward Airport.

[28:37] And as we speak, there is a proposal by the city council

[28:40] and by the airport to expand road

[28:42] into this beautiful piece of open space land that

[28:46] provides habitat for monarch butterflies, endangered turtles.

[28:50] And it's just a beautiful piece of land where people can walk.

[28:53] It's very important for climate change that we keep open space.

[28:58] So there's a proposal that the airport

[29:00] would like to expand onto this land,

[29:03] pave it over, build more hangars and provide more

[29:06] space for private jet owners.

[29:09] And there's a lot more of them now

[29:11] in the were ten years ago because there's

[29:12] a lot of money in the tech sector

[29:14] who are landing and basically using

[29:16] the airport as like their private limousine service.

[29:19] I don't want any more that and neither do thousands

[29:22] of people who live in Hayward.

[29:24] We don't need more diesel fuel.

[29:26] Jet fuel in our air, polluting the air.

[29:29] I could go on and on.

[29:30] So if you're interested in learning more about this,

[29:32] this proposal is live.

[29:34] It's probably going to go before the council in the fall.

[29:37] I don't know for sure.

[29:38] Please come and talk to me.

[29:39] We have a petition.

[29:40] You can sign And I don't know anyone

[29:42] who in Hayward who wants to yay for airport expansion

[29:46] or development.

[29:47] We want open space for our children

[29:49] for the future It's just amazing to me.

[29:54] OK.

[29:55] Thank you.

[29:57] Thank you Gina.

[30:01] Pickled up I'm here because i'm full of love for the land,

[30:24] for the sacred water that we drink each day

[30:27] And for the beauty that I find here in this place

[30:32] we call Heart of the Bay.

[30:35] I'm here to actually ask you to consider this desire posting

[30:45] cease and desist.

[30:46] To stop, pause the construction of this data center

[30:53] I'm not the only one, as I've known this evening,

[30:58] that recently found out about this data center.

[31:02] I think you I think it would be wise for everyone

[31:07] to on your council to be well aware of what you have approved,

[31:13] because I think even in retrospect, fact,

[31:16] there's a lot of information.

[31:18] And that is very dubious.

[31:20] Question noble and possibly illegal

[31:26] that hurts me because I understand

[31:29] that you are public servants.

[31:31] I understand you have dedicated her life to the city.

[31:35] So I respect your work and your time

[31:38] However, deciding on a data center, an eight story data

[31:42] center, when I am told that it's going to be solar powered.

[31:51] How can that possibly be true when we know that solar power

[31:54] all 24 seven, it's going to run 24 seven on solar power

[31:59] and possible.

[32:01] I on diesel fuel tons gallons, tons of gallons,

[32:07] 160 some 1000 gallons of diesel fuel.

[32:12] How can that not create pollution?

[32:16] How can our water are sacred water

[32:19] that we drink from the Hetch hetchy not be affected?

[32:25] We are in a environmental crisis.

[32:29] I still have buckets in my ballet bucket in my bathroom

[32:33] because I we still save water.

[32:36] Okay.

[32:36] So the fact that our water is so precious to us, our lives,

[32:43] that the tradeoff doesn't match up

[32:45] the math does not match up The employees

[32:49] do the amount of exploitation of our resources.

[32:52] It does not match up for our future.

[32:56] So I'm asking you to please consider

[33:00] taking the measures to pause and reflect and understand

[33:06] that our actions will have and by our mental impacts

[33:10] for the future.

[33:13] Thank you Our next speaker is Tom Wong Any city council

[33:36] members Mayor Katie.

[33:38] Yeah.

[33:39] I'm here to speak about the data center

[33:41] and hopefully could change your mind.

[33:43] Maybe it's your emergency meeting

[33:45] to actually stop future data centers or put a moratorium in.

[33:49] This is a very important issue to our community.

[33:53] And I don't think people realize how much power our data centers

[33:57] using the Four data center combined uses about 160 Mega.

[34:03] What that's about 220,000 homes running 24 hours.

[34:10] That's four times what the city of Hayward

[34:13] to the residents of Hayward are using.

[34:15] So imagine what the electricity bill will be.

[34:18] One starts out or two comes online.

[34:20] When start comes online what Hayward Exchange comes online.

[34:24] Not only that the water Hayward exchange users will

[34:28] use a million gallons of water a year stacks

[34:32] will use 3 million gallons.

[34:34] That's not including the 200 Amazon data centers.

[34:37] There's no data on that right now.

[34:39] So I think there's an existential crisis

[34:42] in our community I think that this warrants an emergency

[34:46] session to actually freeze any future data centers

[34:49] and put a stop on what is currently here and there.

[34:53] They want addresses that we actually give this data center

[34:56] type data center, any type of tax credit

[34:59] for building in our city because if you did, please extend it

[35:04] to our small business.

[35:06] They are suffering right now.

[35:07] And they need tax relief versus an additional burden

[35:11] of more taxes.

[35:12] You know, when these data center.

[35:14] Come online, they have very little

[35:16] to contribute, very little to our community.

[35:19] They promise 200 jobs, that over $200,000.

[35:22] But none of them has ever come to fruition,

[35:25] that these promises ever come true.

[35:29] So for that reason, you know, we have

[35:32] to look at these data centers.

[35:34] Again, their application is scrutinized

[35:37] to make sure that they actually performing what they promise.

[35:41] The little bit of money that we do get to help with services

[35:45] are not enough.

[35:46] One of reasons why data centers are in the city

[35:50] is because they're using our resources.

[35:52] If they build a data center further out into the valley,

[35:56] they would have to pull all the resources there,

[35:58] the sewage, the fresh water, the power, the internet, police

[36:02] and fire.

[36:02] It takes longer for them to get there.

[36:05] That's why they're doing it in the cities

[36:07] to actually use our using our resources.

[36:10] So they're not benefiting us.

[36:12] They're actually they're actually taking advantage of us.

[36:16] And we're no, we're getting very little in return.

[36:20] What they do get is that they get to build to their investors,

[36:25] pre-IPO, they get to tell them that, hey, we

[36:28] have so many data centers.

[36:30] We can rent it out.

[36:31] We could actually do all these things.

[36:33] That's how they get their money.

[36:34] So this is all for billionaires and millionaires and tech

[36:37] companies.

[36:37] Please put a stop to it Thank you.

[36:46] Our next speaker is Sheila Is it Cho

[36:50] or guess what I'm going to talk about Good evening, Mayor

[37:01] Salinas and council members.

[37:03] Oh, my name is Sheila, and I'm a Hayward resident I live here.

[37:08] Most of my life.

[37:10] Moved back like over five years ago.

[37:12] I'm here to formally ask mayors Salinas to agenda

[37:15] is a dedicated council meeting regarding

[37:18] the current stock as we Y03A that her center on even Landing

[37:23] Road excuse me in April, the council leadership closed

[37:29] the loophole that allowed massive hyperscale

[37:31] say the centers sorry to bypass elected oversight by being

[37:40] classified in a simple office space

[37:43] You changed the rules so that projects over 50 megawatt.

[37:46] It's cool.

[37:47] Must now face a public council vote.

[37:50] Unfortunately, the 76.6MW stack project slipped through just

[37:55] before those rules took effect.

[37:57] As a result, it's the single largest consumer

[38:00] of power and water in Hayward's history

[38:02] was approved by city staff without a single vote

[38:06] from this elected body a full capacity.

[38:10] This facility will draw enough energy to power 76,000 homes.

[38:15] Thank you It places an immense and valid burden on our grid,

[38:20] sits right next to our shoreline and includes

[38:22] the to utilize scale diesel generators that

[38:26] will impact our air quality.

[38:29] Well, I applaud the upcoming September 15

[38:32] meeting to discuss banning future data centers

[38:35] The immediate danger to our local resources

[38:38] is this one being built right now.

[38:41] Mayor Salinas you acknowledge the process that allowed

[38:44] the 3038 to pass was flawed.

[38:48] Please use your 32 agendas.

[38:50] A formal item on this specific project.

[38:53] The community deserves a public hearing

[38:56] to demand independent environmental monitoring

[38:59] and strict oversight of this actual resource consumption.

[39:03] Thank you for your time Thank you.

[39:12] Next speaker is Joe Ramos Good evening, City Council.

[39:28] Your for Lopez.

[39:33] I come to apologize for last week Anyway,

[39:37] I like to speak on 7 quick points.

[39:41] The first one is if you notice there's a lot of taco trucks

[39:47] and vendors that are on all different streets,

[39:49] especially on the churches.

[39:51] I don't know if their license or not

[39:53] but it seems to me like they're not

[39:56] that needs to be checked out.

[39:58] The other point I think is very important

[40:00] is that all city employees or hayward School District

[40:03] employees.

[40:03] Are they should all live in Hayward.

[40:05] There should be a rule that if you're going to work in Hayward,

[40:08] you live in Hayward.

[40:09] And once you're hired, you got 90 days to come live in Hayward.

[40:13] So if I think if you're going to be working

[40:15] for the city or any administration

[40:18] here or the school district, you need to you need to live in.

[40:20] Hayward That's my opinion.

[40:22] I don't know what the rest of the people think.

[40:24] Number three, no data center.

[40:26] I just heard about it last week and i'm not sure

[40:29] where they were hiding it.

[40:30] Maybe.

[40:31] Maybe I had my head in the clouds, but I'm opposed to it.

[40:34] Number four we need to get quality employers

[40:40] to come in here.

[40:41] Number five is a transfer parent.

[40:46] City hall.

[40:47] You guys got to be transferred.

[40:49] Parent Like this thing was a data center.

[40:52] I never heard about it.

[40:53] And probably numbers of other Hayward community members

[40:56] probably didn't either.

[40:57] I don't know, but I never heard about it the last two points.

[41:01] Number six, fix the Hayward loop.

[41:04] We've been going in circles cause it was a waste of time.

[41:07] It's a waste trying to get the other side of the city fixed.

[41:10] That damn loop.

[41:12] Excuse my French.

[41:13] And the last one?

[41:15] I took this from my friend Tom Wong.

[41:18] And I won't deny it.

[41:21] He is my friend.

[41:23] He said something about putting out zero interest loans

[41:28] for business owners.

[41:28] I think that's a hell of a good idea.

[41:31] So now it's up to you.

[41:32] Do you think it's a good idea or not?

[41:34] Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time.

[41:37] For those who don't know me, my name is Joe Ramos,

[41:40] and I've been living in Hayward for 41 years.

[41:43] When the Marine Corps brought me up here,

[41:45] if it sounds familiar, because I was on the school board,

[41:47] I'm not going anywhere yet.

[41:49] Anyway, God bless you all.

[41:51] And I hope you pay attention.

[41:53] George.

[41:53] Keep it up.

[41:55] That's a positive Okay.

[42:02] Our next speaker is online.

[42:04] It's Caitlin Is it Kayla?

[42:10] Yes, Kelly.

[42:11] Whoops.

[42:12] I don't know why.

[42:13] Mike.

[42:13] Camera is not up or not Not on.

[42:17] I just wanted to reiterate a lot of the comments

[42:20] that people mentioned about the data center.

[42:24] I think we are in danger with this data center.

[42:27] That was approved without, again,

[42:29] any kind of public vote or city council vote

[42:33] I was at the meeting on Tuesday, that town hall that was fully

[42:37] packed with people outside really just trying

[42:40] to listen in and hear more about the data center.

[42:44] And frankly, to protest.

[42:45] It, as many people there have already heard, many of us,

[42:50] Hayward residents were unaware.

[42:52] And I understand at that meeting on Tuesday,

[42:54] we were told that there were different forums of ways

[42:58] that people heard about it.

[42:59] But frankly, one of the first ways that I heard about it

[43:02] was through the Hayward Herald.

[43:04] I think if we still had newspapers like The Daily Review

[43:07] more people would have been hearing about it

[43:09] on a larger scale.

[43:10] I'm very grateful to the Hayward Herald

[43:12] for all of the articles they've written

[43:14] about the data center and even the newest

[43:16] One that dropped today.

[43:18] But what I'm hearing is that many residents are not

[43:21] only scared, but they're very upset that this was approved

[43:25] without their knowledge And I think

[43:27] as another person mentioned, that we were taken advantage

[43:31] of by a city, people picked Hayward

[43:33] because maybe they thought they could get away with this.

[43:36] And frankly, it seems like they are.

[43:39] And so I just want to reiterate the points that were already

[43:43] stated that we do need to have some kind of public hearing.

[43:47] We do need to have some kind of environmental impact report.

[43:50] And I commend the folks who are currently

[43:52] organizing to stop stack SB Y03A And I just

[43:56] want to reiterate the comments that so many of us

[44:00] are deeply upset that this was approved.

[44:04] I've been in Hayward all my life.

[44:06] My father lives about a mile and a half away from

[44:09] where this data center will be built.

[44:11] I think just fathoming the kind of environmental impact

[44:15] is really difficult because we know that these centers are

[44:20] very difficult. And they're not good for our communities.

[44:24] So if city council can work together, whether, again, this

[44:28] is an emergency session as people discussed

[44:31] a public hearing, we as a community

[44:33] want to get together here to discuss this,

[44:35] to see how we can stop it.

[44:37] And more importantly, how we can understand

[44:40] further the environmental impact that this kind of center

[44:43] is going to have.

[44:44] So I thank you for listening to me.

[44:46] And again, I appreciate everybody

[44:48] who's come up ahead of me to say that they

[44:51] are against this center and want to do what they can to stop it.

[44:55] So thank you for listening.

[44:56] Thank you.

[45:03] Okay.

[45:04] I don't have any cards left and there

[45:06] are no more callers online.

[45:09] So before I close public comment,

[45:11] I just wanted to make a quick statement.

[45:13] As all of you know, we cannot comment on items brought to us

[45:18] from from public comment.

[45:21] But I do know it's safe to say that myself, along with Mayor

[45:27] Pro Tem Syrup and Councilmember andrews,

[45:31] we have co-authored a referral to hear discussion

[45:40] and to direct staff in the exploring of banning data

[45:45] centers in the city of Hayward, moving forward.

[45:49] We will hear that on September 15 of this of next month.

[45:55] And so just stay tuned for more information.

[45:58] And if you have not done this already,

[46:00] I would go online, go to the city's home page scroll

[46:05] all the way to the bottom and subscribe to our newsletter.

[46:10] Subscribe to the stack.

[46:12] And when you're subscribing to the newsletter,

[46:15] you can even click on, you know, you can subscribe for agendas

[46:20] to council meetings and planning commission meetings.

[46:22] And so forth, and you'll get that.

[46:25] So stay tuned.

[46:26] And that item is coming in due time.

[46:30] So with that said, I would like to close

[46:33] public comment and the city manager's comments.

[46:38] See manner does not have any comments.

[46:39] This evening.

[46:40] So thank you.

[46:41] So now I'd like to move on to a special presentation

[46:46] if those who don't know, in the front here

[46:52] we are real pleased to have AC transit out in the house.

[46:59] So let's give AC transit a big round of applause

[47:05] and I'm not going to steal his introductions,

[47:09] but I wanted to introduce to you the AC Transit director who

[47:14] is in our district, who represents us,

[47:17] and that's Director Silva.

[47:19] So I'll let you introduce your GM and your staff and sir,

[47:25] take it away.

[47:26] Fantastic.

[47:26] Thank you.

[47:28] Good evening.

[47:28] Mayor and council members.

[47:31] My name is Anthony Silva.

[47:33] I'm on the board of directors for AC Transit.

[47:35] I represent Ward six, which is Hayward.

[47:41] I'm today AC Transit, a special district

[47:46] serving 13 cities in eight incorporated counties

[47:49] across the Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

[47:52] 3 out of four riders are people of color and nearly two thirds

[47:57] are low income, making aC transit an essential lifeline

[48:01] for all the communities we serve 40 million rides every year,

[48:12] more than 140,000 riders on board a typical weekday each

[48:18] weekday, more than 9500 riders use our transbay lines At least

[48:25] 30,000 students will depend on us to get safety to and from

[48:30] class each day.

[48:32] I will now invite you to our general manager, Sal Yeomans,

[48:38] to follow up.

[48:40] Thank you.

[48:41] Good evening, Mayor Salinas and City Council members.

[48:44] I'm Salvatore Llamas, the general manager and CEO.

[48:47] Easy Transit In terms of AC Transit, economic impact,

[48:51] AC Transit Supports more than 5100 jobs across the East Bay.

[48:57] More than half of those jobs are created outside of our agency

[49:02] Together, they generate over 604 million annual wages

[49:07] and they inject nearly 1 billion into the East Bay economy

[49:13] every single year.

[49:15] Every bus we operate creates jobs, supports local businesses

[49:20] and strengthens our communities.

[49:22] Is an excellent.

[49:27] Today, our fleet reflects 58 zero emission buses

[49:32] and they're eliminating any tailpipe emission

[49:34] from our streets.

[49:36] That leadership earned AC transit $40 million

[49:39] in federal investment to launch the transit industry's

[49:43] first ever zero emission bus university or as we call it,

[49:47] Zev, you alongside Chabot College and Union ATU Local 192,

[49:54] Zab blue will help our employees earn associate degrees

[49:58] while preparing to clean by preparing

[50:00] to repair the clean transits of the future and our workforce.

[50:07] Next line riders recognize our value

[50:10] because we're making transit more affordable, faster,

[50:14] and safer.

[50:16] Easy pass provides unlimited resource,

[50:19] deep discounts for participating employers, colleges

[50:24] and communities.

[50:26] Clipper Start gives income eligible adults

[50:30] half off every rider we rec we redesigned the 104 bus

[50:37] lines last summer with our rail line network

[50:39] cutting travel times and making our lines a lot more

[50:44] reliable and accessible.

[50:47] Next line as we mentioned earlier, three out of four AC

[50:53] transit riders are people of color

[50:56] and nearly Two thirds are low income.

[50:59] More than half earn less than $50,000 a year.

[51:03] Well below the federal poverty level And one of the nation's

[51:07] most expensive of regions.

[51:09] Many are already struggling to afford essential essentials

[51:13] like housing and transportation that

[51:16] helps explain why 65% of our riders are transit dependent.

[51:21] So service cuts.

[51:23] We're not be an inconvenience they

[51:26] would upend the lives of those who

[51:28] rely on most, who rely the most on AC transit Excellent.

[51:36] At AC Transit, we're making every taxpayer dollar count.

[51:40] We know that when fares go unpaid,

[51:43] the cost does not disappear.

[51:45] It creates a funding gap this summer,

[51:48] we launched the multilingual fare required

[51:52] for compliance campaign.

[51:55] The message is simple Pay the fare Protect the bustling,

[52:00] also comprehensive of a comprehensive California

[52:04] out of state auditor review found

[52:07] that AC transit synchronizes has serve as well with other East

[52:11] Bay Transit bus agencies.

[52:13] Our collective real challenges are sustainable funding, not

[52:19] mismanagement.

[52:22] What's more, an independent review

[52:24] confirmed average annual savings of 33 millions since 2020.

[52:30] This commitment to making every taxpayer dollars count

[52:34] is why we have a top tier double-A plus credit rating when

[52:41] the costs of running the bus network

[52:43] rises faster than the revenue.

[52:45] Supporting the results is a fiscal cliff.

[52:49] What's behind it?

[52:51] Fertile pandemic relief funds are gone.

[52:54] Regional sales tax revenue has flattened and fare

[52:58] revenue growth has slowed.

[53:00] Fuel costs are up by 2,028%.

[53:03] Bus business parts increased by 14%.

[53:07] The cost of buying new buses has increased by 35%.

[53:12] You can see it's lopsided and it's not sustainable.

[53:19] But we're not standing idle.

[53:20] Instead, we've taken action in the last fiscal year alone,

[53:25] we tighten our belts by $9 million.

[53:29] We're hiring only front positions that directly

[53:32] support delivering service.

[53:34] We scaled back temporary staffing,

[53:37] saving roughly $2 million annually.

[53:40] We brought outside professional services in-house.

[53:44] We're partnering with other agencies

[53:46] to purchase goods and services for less.

[53:50] We're making every taxpayer dollar count.

[53:56] The dollars must count because AC Transit

[53:58] faces a projected $200 million deficit over the next four

[54:02] years.

[54:04] That translate to an annual funding gap.

[54:08] At least $50 million beginning in 2027 with our long term

[54:13] sustainable funding service reductions up

[54:16] to 16% become unavoidable.

[54:20] And so what are the human impact potential layoffs affecting

[54:24] as many as 300 employees.

[54:28] We've been thrown a lifeline But it's not a permanent solution.

[54:34] It takes state bridge loan and it's exactly that.

[54:38] A loan, not a bailout And it must be paid with interest.

[54:44] AC Transit's share Is 55 million enough

[54:47] to close this year's budget and avoid service cuts?

[54:51] Today?

[54:52] But next summer, the loan is gone.

[54:56] Reserves are exhausted and the funding challenge

[54:59] returns That's why hope now rests with a regional transit

[55:05] measure or formally Connect Bay area Act or Senate Bill 63.

[55:10] The measure would ask voters in five Bay Area counties

[55:14] to approve a 14 year, half cent sales

[55:18] tax, $0.01 in San Francisco.

[55:21] If approved, it will generate an estimated $980 million

[55:26] annually for Bay Area buses, trains and ferries.

[55:33] AC Transit would receive approximately $52 million

[55:36] each year.

[55:38] Helping to protect its existing bus service

[55:40] and prevent layoffs with our long term funding.

[55:45] Our bus network remains at risk.

[55:48] To show what that could mean for riders and our communities,

[55:53] I'd like to invite our planning department

[55:55] to share an overview Could.

[56:04] Good evening, Mayor.

[56:06] Council.

[56:06] My name is Owen Christofferson and I'm a transportation planner

[56:09] with AC Transit.

[56:10] So you've heard from board Director Sylvia

[56:11] and general manager Yamas about the local and regional

[56:15] importance of AC Transit as an agency,

[56:17] as well as the very scene of the financial challenges

[56:20] that are facing the agency.

[56:22] So, in these uncertain financial times,

[56:24] how do you plan for the future?

[56:26] Well, our approach is simple, which is plan for the worst

[56:30] and hope for the best.

[56:32] Which is why we've developed a worst case scenario.

[56:35] Contingency service plan.

[56:37] This plan is just that It's a contingency

[56:39] and it would only take effect if no new long term funding were

[56:43] available by Know long term funding were

[56:46] secured by December 2026.

[56:49] If that happens, our priority is protecting

[56:51] as much service as possible.

[56:53] The contingency plan preserves the realigned network

[56:56] we launched last summer.

[56:57] Other priorities are to minimize wholesale eliminations

[57:00] and protect hours of service when possible and maintain

[57:03] frequent bus service where riders depend on it.

[57:06] The most Next slide, please.

[57:09] The proposed contingency service plan

[57:11] is designed to protect the most service for the greatest

[57:14] number of riders It does this by preserving our backbone.

[57:18] Excuse me?

[57:19] Backbone routes or what we like to call the primary route

[57:22] network You know, we focus service reductions

[57:27] where ridership is the lowest, which minimizes impacts

[57:30] on the greatest number of riders.

[57:32] Weekday service of every 15 minutes or better

[57:35] is preserved on key corridors, including telegraph, Broadway,

[57:38] San Pablo and the Mission Boulevard corridor here

[57:41] in Hayward Next slide, please.

[57:43] So let's talk a little bit about what this means for Hayward

[57:47] and these communities here.

[57:49] So when Hayward line 9, which serves the Mission Boulevard

[57:52] corridor, would be maintained at 15 minutes,

[57:55] with the exception of early morning service and late evening

[57:58] service, where it would then go to 30 minute service

[58:01] line 97, which serves the Hesperian Boulevard corridor,

[58:04] would be reduced to 30 minutes service all day

[58:07] and terminate at Union landing shopping center instead of going

[58:10] all the way to Union Union City, Bart Lines 60,

[58:15] which is a really important line for this community,

[58:17] serves many key destinations including

[58:19] Chabot College and Cal State.

[58:21] East Bay would see its current weekday

[58:23] service levels maintained, which includes the recently added

[58:26] trips between Hayward, Bart and Cal State east Bay.

[58:29] However, weekend service would be reduced to every 60 minutes.

[58:33] Other local lines, most of which are currently

[58:35] 40 minutes on weekdays and 60 minutes on weekends,

[58:38] would see reductions to 60 minute service.

[58:41] Seven days a week.

[58:42] All lines described here would see small reductions

[58:46] in hours of operation.

[58:48] And as I close, I just like to stress one more time

[58:51] that this plan would only take effect

[58:53] if no new long term, long term funding is

[58:55] secured by December 2026.

[58:57] Next slide, please.

[59:00] So just like to talk briefly about kind of the time.

[59:03] So the AC transit board of directors

[59:06] has set the public hearing for this plan on October 14.

[59:11] So we invite community members to submit comments and feedback

[59:14] regarding that.

[59:15] And we will hold that public hearing

[59:17] for more public hearing on October 14.

[59:19] As we all know, the general election is scheduled

[59:22] for November 3 2026, and if needed,

[59:25] the AC Transit Board of directors will consider

[59:29] on November 18 and approve on December 9th, 2026,

[59:33] this contingency service plan, which would then direct staff

[59:37] to implement the changes, which would then see on June 13, 2027.

[59:42] So again, if no new funding is secured by the end of the year,

[59:46] we would potentially see these service reductions

[59:48] on June 13, 2027.

[59:50] And with that, I'll turn the mic back to board Director Silva.

[59:52] I you again.

[59:57] Well, AC Transit wants to hear from Hayward resident

[1:00:01] and here's how to engage and scan the QR code up

[1:00:04] on the screen here to learn how AC transits propose contingency

[1:00:09] service plan and fill out the feedback form email planning

[1:00:14] at AC transit.org or visit AC transit.org to learn more.

[1:00:19] Thank you.

[1:00:20] AC Transit is committed to keeping Hayward and East

[1:00:23] Bay moving with Ford's million chips a year

[1:00:26] and connecting riders to jobs, schools, and essential services.

[1:00:31] Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today.

[1:00:35] Thank you.

[1:00:36] Thank you And you know, I just wanted to acknowledge, you know,

[1:00:40] the general manager, Yamas and, you know, Mr. Silva.

[1:00:44] I have been in other meetings where

[1:00:47] I have heard you present your, you know your stories

[1:00:52] and your histories in transportation

[1:00:55] and in bus manufacturing.

[1:00:58] And I just wanted to just tell everyone standing in front of us

[1:01:02] there is a lot of years both on the bus manufacturing side

[1:01:08] and in the bus, public transportation, but primarily

[1:01:12] bus service side.

[1:01:14] So I just wanted to acknowledge that.

[1:01:17] And there is a tremendous amount of experience and a know how

[1:01:22] in front of us this evening.

[1:01:23] So thank you very much for being here.

[1:01:25] I really appreciate it.

[1:01:27] Thank you for that.

[1:01:28] I, I was going to i have Councilmember Sara first,

[1:01:32] but we just got to make a statement or.

[1:01:34] Oh, okay.

[1:01:35] So Councilmember Syrup.

[1:01:36] Go ahead.

[1:01:36] Great.

[1:01:37] Thank you.

[1:01:37] I'm sure Councilmembers Emanuel has something similar to Add,

[1:01:39] but just wanted to appreciate the presentation.

[1:01:41] I have the pleasure of serving with you

[1:01:43] and working with AC Transit staff

[1:01:44] as one of the city's two AC Transit Interagency liaison

[1:01:48] Committee members, along with Councilmembers Romano

[1:01:51] And it's been a wonderful partnership for the few years,

[1:01:53] have had to work together.

[1:01:54] We've been able to install bus benches

[1:01:56] across the city of Hayward, conduct

[1:01:58] accessibility assessments on all of our bus stops.

[1:02:01] We've been able to make traffic signal upgrades

[1:02:03] and improve pavement to ensure that we're improving bus service

[1:02:06] frequency reliability.

[1:02:08] And I just what I really appreciated

[1:02:10] about the presentation tonight is you demonstrating

[1:02:13] very strong fiscal stewardship.

[1:02:14] And I just wanted to communicate that the deficit that you're in,

[1:02:17] in most developed countries have federally funded public transit.

[1:02:21] And so it's you're in a very difficult position where

[1:02:24] you're trying to recoup fares in order to fund your own system.

[1:02:28] But just for anyone listening and that's

[1:02:30] interested in our public transit system,

[1:02:31] if we had better federal funding for public transit, Bart,

[1:02:34] AC Transit would not be in this position.

[1:02:36] I also just wanted to add for folks that want to understand

[1:02:39] the importance of AC transit in our community,

[1:02:41] we have 14,000 bus riders taking AC transit every single day.

[1:02:45] And when we talk about climate justice

[1:02:47] and environmental justice, which, you know,

[1:02:48] when we think about SkyWest or when we think about the data

[1:02:50] centers they're all interconnected issues

[1:02:52] and we're thinking about climate change.

[1:02:54] The majority of CO2 output in the city of Hayward

[1:02:57] comes from private passenger vehicles.

[1:02:58] And so if we're serious about tackling climate change

[1:03:01] public transportation is one of the critical components

[1:03:03] of that strategy.

[1:03:03] So I really appreciate the work that you're doing.

[1:03:05] And I'm proud to be able to support it on this.

[1:03:08] And from the city of Hayward side

[1:03:09] And I'll turn it over to my colleague,

[1:03:11] Councilmember Samantha.

[1:03:12] Councilmembers to menu.

[1:03:13] Thank you, Mayor, and thank you, my colleague.

[1:03:15] Sharp I agree with those comments.

[1:03:17] I like working with you, Mr. Silver in our meetings.

[1:03:20] So we have a meeting this coming Friday at 10 a.m.

[1:03:23] So if anybody would like to provide some input as

[1:03:26] to how to improve our transportation

[1:03:29] I've been with this committee.

[1:03:30] I think we're I think the only city that has this interagency

[1:03:35] committee, I believe, of all the other cities in Alameda.

[1:03:39] So we're telling people how to do the job.

[1:03:42] We have done a lot.

[1:03:43] And I really appreciate and I really

[1:03:45] like working with you guys your tremendous team.

[1:03:49] Mr. Yarmuth, congratulations on becoming

[1:03:52] the big cheese of 80 Transit.

[1:03:55] And I love the tour.

[1:03:56] If you have an opportunity, a tour

[1:03:58] of the AC Transit and office here

[1:04:02] in Hayward, as a matter of fact.

[1:04:04] And thank you again for a good presentation and keep up

[1:04:07] and I agree with my colleague Sharpe's point.

[1:04:11] Public transportation is something

[1:04:13] that's very important to us, especially with climate change,

[1:04:16] in that way.

[1:04:16] So let's pass.

[1:04:18] SB 63.

[1:04:19] Please vote yes on it.

[1:04:21] Thank you.

[1:04:22] Thank you for your comments.

[1:04:24] Before I call upon Councillor Roach,

[1:04:26] I wanted to ask over this towards the end of the school

[1:04:31] year and during the summertime, the, you know,

[1:04:36] and I also wanted to acknowledge my colleague on the Alameda

[1:04:40] County Transportation Commission Supervisor Marquez over there.

[1:04:43] We're both on the we're both the representatives to on C

[1:04:47] So Hayward is quite represented on AC DC.

[1:04:51] But there's the we were able to get the bus pass program fully

[1:04:58] funded through AC.

[1:05:00] So all Hayward 6, 7, and or I'm sorry 789 12 students can

[1:05:08] have can get a free bus pass that

[1:05:11] would basically unlimited across the entire system also

[1:05:19] Cal State East Bay also has unlimited public transportation

[1:05:25] access on their ID cards and they can get a bus pass.

[1:05:29] And in fact, I just read recently

[1:05:32] San Jose State just opened up You know, it's good to see that.

[1:05:37] Hey, we came in first, but I wanted to, of course,

[1:05:40] you know, we have Cal State, but we also have a Shabo college.

[1:05:44] And I was just curious, you know,

[1:05:47] how can Shabo College get on that, you know, bus pass plan?

[1:05:51] And I don't know if there's if it's through acts

[1:05:54] or if there's arrangements through agencies or way.

[1:05:57] But I just wanted to if that's something that we can look into,

[1:06:02] it's Thank you.

[1:06:04] Mayor, for the question.

[1:06:06] So we do have a staff that work with the colleges

[1:06:09] and universities for our Easy Pass program.

[1:06:11] Just designed for colleges and universities

[1:06:13] and also businesses.

[1:06:14] So we will make sure that we double

[1:06:17] check that they are communicating

[1:06:18] with the board College was excellent to think.

[1:06:22] Thank you.

[1:06:23] And then the C I'll go to Councilmember Roach.

[1:06:28] Thank you.

[1:06:29] You.

[1:06:29] I want to thank you for being here,

[1:06:31] for coming out together and presenting this,

[1:06:33] because I know it's tough.

[1:06:34] Times are it's tough times for a lot of us.

[1:06:35] And this budget deficit is really serious.

[1:06:37] When I say that I'm fully in support of.

[1:06:39] SB Was.

[1:06:40] SB 63 and I, I really hope that you

[1:06:42] can get that passed the goal line in November.

[1:06:45] I know it's sort of I wanted to make the first one

[1:06:47] comment that another realignment you did recently.

[1:06:50] I was sort of worried about it.

[1:06:50] My son and his friends go all over the Bay Area

[1:06:53] on the transit, but they didn't care.

[1:06:55] They just they just sort of assimilated Right.

[1:06:57] And they just figured out the way to go.

[1:06:59] And as I think that even though it

[1:07:00] feels daunting to do some of these things,

[1:07:02] like I think people that are really good users are the best

[1:07:04] they're going to get what they want

[1:07:05] to go because that's their freedom

[1:07:06] and that's how they are able to get around without us driving

[1:07:09] them everywhere.

[1:07:10] So I just want to thank you all for being here.

[1:07:12] Good luck with all of the other budget work that you're doing.

[1:07:15] And I wish you luck for November Thank you.

[1:07:17] Thank you.

[1:07:18] Councilmember Andrews, thank you for being here.

[1:07:21] I just wanted to thank staff are working on this staff report.

[1:07:25] I know it's a lot of work to present

[1:07:26] to different jurisdictions and we

[1:07:28] don't get a lot of presentations from our special districts.

[1:07:31] So it's always good to see you all come out

[1:07:33] and talk to your partner agencies.

[1:07:36] And just the question I had was with this funding,

[1:07:41] would you also see improvements to just different types

[1:07:43] of infrastructure that the public would actually

[1:07:45] see besides making sure we have ridership available

[1:07:50] or making sure we have buses for where the ridership?

[1:07:55] Yes.

[1:07:56] Thank you.

[1:07:56] Council member.

[1:07:57] So the budget, the funding that we're seeking

[1:08:00] is going to preserve what we have today, the infrastructure

[1:08:04] reinvestments.

[1:08:05] We seek that funding through our federal partners.

[1:08:09] So bus and bus facilities from the Federal Transit

[1:08:11] Administration and also now they have the law and all,

[1:08:15] in law and no emissions programs.

[1:08:17] Those are primarily and there's a formula funds

[1:08:20] that are called 53 or 7 funds that we apply for funding.

[1:08:24] The 5307 is funding that we normally

[1:08:27] receive are the long Island bus and bus facilities.

[1:08:30] Our grants and those are fund funding that we apply for.

[1:08:33] Sometimes we receive the funding.

[1:08:35] So that's uncertainty there.

[1:08:37] We're going to receive the appropriate amount

[1:08:39] that we need to reinvest in the state repair of our facilities

[1:08:42] and our vehicles.

[1:08:44] OK.

[1:08:44] And then has the agency also looked at private partnerships

[1:08:47] to offset some of the costs just in terms of shuttles

[1:08:51] to industrial areas, apartment buildings?

[1:08:54] I've seen that in other jurisdictions.

[1:08:56] So we are looking at every and exploring every opportunity.

[1:09:00] The P3 private public partnership

[1:09:02] is another opportunity that we're looking at.

[1:09:05] How do we invest in some of our facilities?

[1:09:07] I am happy to announce that here in Hayward we

[1:09:09] are going to build.

[1:09:10] And we you see part of the $40 million.

[1:09:12] I received from the federal government in 23 and 24

[1:09:16] is going to be to build a hydrogen fueling station here

[1:09:20] in our Star Hayward facility.

[1:09:22] So we can all bring clean zero emission buses to the city.

[1:09:27] OK.

[1:09:27] Thank you.

[1:09:28] Well, okay then, I guess clap for that.

[1:09:32] I would.

[1:09:32] Thank you for again, for coming out.

[1:09:35] And I want to thank your external affairs teams.

[1:09:37] I see them everywhere.

[1:09:38] And they really do come out and engage with the community.

[1:09:42] So I just wanted to give them kudos as well.

[1:09:45] Thank you.

[1:09:46] Thank you.

[1:09:47] Absolutely.

[1:09:51] See, and no more questions wanted again,

[1:09:54] thank you for coming out and i did endorse the transportation

[1:10:01] measure that's coming out.

[1:10:03] So we are crossing our fingers.

[1:10:05] It will benefit all i don't know how

[1:10:09] many transits systems you know that are that are connected.

[1:10:13] But there's many five that are directly related

[1:10:15] to this particular measure.

[1:10:17] But public transport's mission is absolutely

[1:10:20] important in the Bay Area.

[1:10:22] And I think Mayor Pro Tem Sara is absolutely correct if we

[1:10:27] really want to clean our air and really stop our carbon emissions

[1:10:32] is that we need to start taking more public transportation as it

[1:10:37] gets cleaner and greener.

[1:10:38] So thank you very much.

[1:10:41] And I think that's it Thank you.

[1:10:43] By the way, I just wanted to let you know, you know,

[1:10:45] I've served 40 years at Gillick.

[1:10:48] I know.

[1:10:49] And I just retired.

[1:10:50] So.

[1:10:50] I know.

[1:10:52] Yes Well, congratulations.

[1:10:54] So I thank you.

[1:10:55] Thank you.

[1:10:56] And you know, in on a on a sort of a side transportation

[1:11:01] note you know, students, and I'm going

[1:11:06] to say it only because supervisor Marquez is here.

[1:11:10] We made it right before the beginning of school.

[1:11:13] But for all those students that tennis and high school who

[1:11:17] walk along Whitman or walk along hunt wood and cross the train

[1:11:22] tracks to get to tennis in high school yesterday,

[1:11:26] they were able to cross through a new railroad crossing section

[1:11:32] from Underwood or Hopwood to the school because of moneys

[1:11:38] that we were able to pull together with from AC to me.

[1:11:43] And so that is a long time in the making.

[1:11:46] And that is a a clear and a very good partnership

[1:11:50] that we have had with not only Ictsi,

[1:11:53] but between the city and the school district.

[1:11:56] And so I just wanted to throw a shout out

[1:11:59] to the supervisor on that one.

[1:12:00] So we were able to get that done with Ictsi.

[1:12:02] So okay, thank you very much.

[1:12:05] And I will close that item and I will proceed.

[1:12:13] Need to our concern of calendar.

[1:12:17] I do have a couple of items I wanted to get pulled.

[1:12:21] I wanted to pull item ten and item 12 of I

[1:12:24] do have cards on those two items and so what we'll do

[1:12:30] is why don't we proceed with moving and passing the remaining

[1:12:38] items one through nine.

[1:12:40] I and one through 911 and I'll move those items moved

[1:12:46] by Mayor Pro Tem Sara, a second seconded by Council member Roach

[1:12:51] and well, actually, before we do that, Madam City Clerk,

[1:12:55] I would be remiss if I did not open it up for public comment.

[1:12:58] First, is there any public comment for those items?

[1:13:02] Not 12 or 10.

[1:13:06] I don't see any public comment in the room.

[1:13:08] I don't have any cards and I don't see hands raised.

[1:13:15] So I will.

[1:13:16] Silliness, Yes.

[1:13:18] Or something I apologize.

[1:13:19] But we have TJ.

[1:13:20] Yes, I do.

[1:13:21] See I do see that.

[1:13:23] Yeah.

[1:13:23] So TJ for Hayward concern citizens

[1:13:33] i actually it's for item 12.

[1:13:35] OK.

[1:13:36] So i'll pause on you for a moment.

[1:13:38] I will close public comment moved by Mayor pro tem Sara

[1:13:42] second by Councilmember Roach, Madam City

[1:13:45] Clerk if we can please take roll and I think the unit.

[1:14:12] It passes unanimously.

[1:14:13] Thank you Item number ten.

[1:14:15] And is adopt a resolution and adopt a resolution.

[1:14:21] Adopt a resolution authorizing the city manager

[1:14:23] to execute a memorandum of understanding

[1:14:26] between the city of Hayward and the county of Alameda.

[1:14:29] For the administration, Russell City

[1:14:31] Redress Fund and phase one payments and related actions.

[1:14:35] And so I believe I and before I acknowledge them,

[1:14:43] I just wanted to just really publicly think council members.

[1:14:49] Andrews and Roach and of course, our legal team

[1:14:55] for really keeping this is issue at the forefront and really

[1:15:01] making sure that the process is followed.

[1:15:06] Families are heard And I'm really pleased to see the point

[1:15:13] that we're at today.

[1:15:14] So with that said, Councilmember Andrews I thank you, Mayor.

[1:15:19] I want to thank the Alameda County Board of Supervisors

[1:15:23] and especially the leadership of super

[1:15:25] as we we would not be here today to get to this moment.

[1:15:29] I also want to thank her staff and in particular, I just

[1:15:33] want to thank rodney Loesch as well as Megan Turner and Alex,

[1:15:40] her chief of staff and all the other folks that have really

[1:15:43] stepped up in assisting us in figuring out this MOU, as well

[1:15:48] as the auditor's office and the legal team I want to also thank

[1:15:53] the Russell City steering Committee.

[1:15:56] Russell City was always a community that

[1:15:59] was discussed here and there.

[1:16:00] There was talked about here and there.

[1:16:02] We would talk about it when we were approved.

[1:16:05] Things on planning commission about how this area was formally

[1:16:08] Russell City.

[1:16:09] And we were you know, approving things in this area.

[1:16:13] And we were hearing from the different families

[1:16:16] that used to be from this area.

[1:16:17] And they maintain their connection and community

[1:16:20] through annual picnics and I would say in 2020, 2021,

[1:16:28] the conversation start of how we can address what happened here

[1:16:33] and how can we continue to respond to restorative justice.

[1:16:40] And so we feel that this MOU has created a step

[1:16:46] to respond as a city, as a partnership with the county

[1:16:52] and partnership also with Alameda County of Education

[1:16:56] to respond to what happened.

[1:16:58] This is not something that will make total amends,

[1:17:02] but this is a step, this is a knowledge of what happened here.

[1:17:06] And I want to thank Michael League Councilmember Julie

[1:17:09] Roach, who has been with us every step of the way in terms

[1:17:13] of providing guidance and and again,

[1:17:15] want to thank the supervisor, but also, I

[1:17:19] want to thank the city staff when

[1:17:21] we made that apology through the recommendations of the Community

[1:17:26] Services Commission and it was their job to figure this out.

[1:17:31] And I really appreciate all the work and time and commitment

[1:17:34] that they have given on a almost daily basis

[1:17:38] on trying to figure out how do we give back to this community.

[1:17:41] So thank you.

[1:17:42] And I look forward to hearing unanimous vote on this item.

[1:17:47] Thank you.

[1:17:48] Council member Roach thank you.

[1:17:51] I wanted to take a moment to recognize what

[1:17:53] a historic moment.

[1:17:54] This is for Hayward and for the rest of the city community.

[1:17:57] With this vote, we are taking a step

[1:17:59] that goes beyond acknowledging a painful chapter, chapter

[1:18:02] in our city's history.

[1:18:04] For decades, the displacement of approximately 1,400 Russell City

[1:18:07] residents caused profound economic,

[1:18:09] personal and generational harm harm that was never meaningfully

[1:18:12] addressed.

[1:18:13] And I'm proud that we're moving forward from apology to action,

[1:18:16] something tangible by establishing

[1:18:18] this redress fund to make payments to those

[1:18:20] who were directly harmed.

[1:18:21] I want to thank the Russell City Committee

[1:18:23] members and the Russell City Reparative justice

[1:18:25] Project participants who kept the history alive,

[1:18:28] shared their stories and participated in this process

[1:18:31] and continued to advocate for justice.

[1:18:33] I specifically want to recognize supervised release for Marquez,

[1:18:36] who, together with her staff and District two,

[1:18:39] have not let this work fall when it

[1:18:40] looked controversial or difficult to get approved.

[1:18:43] Supervisor marquez not let out.

[1:18:45] She kept pushing forward and made this happen.

[1:18:47] And here we are today.

[1:18:48] I also want to thank her board of supervisors, colleagues,

[1:18:51] supervisor smiley Hubbard for to Nabbous

[1:18:53] and to them for their contributions

[1:18:55] and wholehearted support of the fund.

[1:18:57] I want to thank Angels and the Delta family

[1:18:59] for keeping the memory of the Russell City community alive

[1:19:01] and for I just work on the movie The Apology, which

[1:19:04] told the story of Russell City.

[1:19:05] And what happened during redevelopment.

[1:19:07] If you haven't seen it, keep your eye

[1:19:09] out for a local screening of that.

[1:19:11] It's really informative I want to thank

[1:19:13] my colleague, of course, my fellow member of the Rejoice

[1:19:16] Fund, working Group.

[1:19:17] Councilmember Andrews has really guided us along the way

[1:19:19] and how to show up for this kind of work.

[1:19:21] And it's really appreciate her work and compassion in this.

[1:19:24] And I also want to thank my colleagues

[1:19:25] up here on the Council for your compassion

[1:19:27] in moving this work forward, too.

[1:19:29] It's really been a team effort.

[1:19:30] And I want to thank city attorney Michael

[1:19:32] Lawson, who envisioned a way forward for this to happen.

[1:19:35] And got us on our way.

[1:19:37] And I'm hoping he's going to make some comments afterwards

[1:19:39] as well.

[1:19:41] Thank you also to the Alameda County office

[1:19:42] of Education for finding this to be a meaningful cause

[1:19:45] to support.

[1:19:47] I also want to thank I look back a little bit

[1:19:48] and think our Zoom Mahdavi, who was

[1:19:50] the former chair of the Community Services

[1:19:51] Commission, that sort of kicked off this work,

[1:19:53] and Sara Vindman, who was the city Council

[1:19:55] member at the time, that was the liaison to the Community

[1:19:58] Services Commission during the apology.

[1:20:01] And finally, I want to acknowledge that this does not

[1:20:04] undo what happened.

[1:20:05] Of course it does not fairly compensate what was lost,

[1:20:08] but it is an important step toward making

[1:20:09] amends and honoring the people of the community of Russell

[1:20:12] City.

[1:20:13] I'm grateful to the Russell City community

[1:20:15] for their persistence its courage,

[1:20:18] and the willingness to participate in the process.

[1:20:20] Even when I got hard.

[1:20:22] And painful.

[1:20:23] And I hope today's action demonstrates

[1:20:25] that their history matters, that the losses mattered

[1:20:27] and their voices matter.

[1:20:29] And yeah, I thank everyone for participating

[1:20:31] in the project and them, and I hope our city attorney will also

[1:20:34] say a few comments.

[1:20:36] Thank you.

[1:20:37] Before I defer to our city attorney.

[1:20:41] Oh, okay Mr. City Attorney, we just like to make a comment.

[1:20:46] Well, thank you, Mayor and council.

[1:20:48] I just wanted to acknowledge our staff members

[1:20:52] who have been working on this project

[1:20:55] and who really started the work and continue that up

[1:21:00] over the last couple of years.

[1:21:01] Former equity officers Jenny Jackson and Josephine and Koya

[1:21:09] and former city men, assistant city manager Regina Youngblood.

[1:21:16] Absolutely.

[1:21:16] Thank you so before I. Well, what I'll do now

[1:21:23] is all before we go through the voting procedure,

[1:21:26] I'll go to a public comment and see if there

[1:21:30] are any public comment.

[1:21:32] And I see And I see T.J. From Hayward Concerned citizens

[1:21:49] item 12.

[1:21:50] Oh, item 12.

[1:21:52] I'm sorry.

[1:21:53] OK.

[1:21:54] Thank you All right.

[1:21:59] Before I hold on a second OK.

[1:22:08] Mayor Pro Tem.

[1:22:09] Sorry.

[1:22:10] Thank you.

[1:22:11] I just also want to acknowledge the work of Councilmember

[1:22:13] Andrews and Councilmember Roach for helping lead this with city

[1:22:16] staff and the supervisor.

[1:22:17] And I think a lot of acknowledgment

[1:22:19] has been given to the Russell City Steering Committee

[1:22:21] and of course, the families that were engaged in that process,

[1:22:24] both in the steering committee and outside of it.

[1:22:26] There are a number of consultants we've worked with,

[1:22:29] as well as the Community Services Commission

[1:22:31] and I think I just wanted to put into perspective,

[1:22:33] and this was a long arc, not just the historical displacement

[1:22:36] of the Russell City families, but from the apology in the wake

[1:22:39] of the George Floyd uprisings.

[1:22:41] For organizers to come together for the Community Services

[1:22:44] Commission to come together, for the council to have the courage

[1:22:46] to embark on an apology and try to think, how do we

[1:22:48] make these historical wrongs right to the degree

[1:22:50] that we can raise really interesting questions

[1:22:53] around legality, around history, around, how do

[1:22:56] you make something right when I was so far in the past.

[1:22:59] But it's still impacting folks today and you know,

[1:23:01] some folks have struggled with this project.

[1:23:03] Some people think it's not Hayward's fault.

[1:23:05] The city did nothing wrong.

[1:23:07] But when we look at the industrial park that

[1:23:09] was built where Russell City is today,

[1:23:10] every day we're extracting tax revenue that

[1:23:12] pays for the services, that keeps the city's lights on,

[1:23:15] that keeps our roads paved, that pays for our public safety

[1:23:17] services.

[1:23:18] And so I just want to put into perspective

[1:23:20] how important this vote is, because it's our effort

[1:23:22] to at least try to attempt to set things straight and make

[1:23:26] amends for a decision that harmed a lot of families

[1:23:28] to benefit the greater public of hayward.

[1:23:30] We benefit from that harm today.

[1:23:32] And so I'm just I'm glad that this council has stayed focused.

[1:23:34] I mean, it's not easy to move a project

[1:23:36] through five years of time, and we've been able to do that.

[1:23:39] And get to this point And I think

[1:23:41] the design of this redress fund, what I'm most excited about

[1:23:44] is it will help serve as a new model for other cities

[1:23:47] to explore as well.

[1:23:48] I mean, when council wrote to this is a historic decision,

[1:23:50] I believe it is because it will demonstrate to other cities

[1:23:53] how they can also address racial inequities in historical harms

[1:23:56] as well.

[1:23:56] So I'm very pleased to be supporting this item tonight,

[1:23:59] and I just really commend you all for your work on this.

[1:24:03] Thank you.

[1:24:04] Thank you.

[1:24:05] Thank you.

[1:24:06] OK.

[1:24:07] And so i'm going to ask for a motion and a second here.

[1:24:12] And I'm going to defer to Councilmember

[1:24:14] Andrews and Councilmember Roach and councilmember interest.

[1:24:18] We're it'll be an honor for me to move this item.

[1:24:21] And thank you for the opportunity.

[1:24:23] I'd like to second moved by Councilmember Andrews seconded

[1:24:27] by Councilmember Roach.

[1:24:28] And before I call a vote, I wanted to just briefly

[1:24:32] to just tell a very small story.

[1:24:36] I'm going to take the privilege of the chair,

[1:24:39] my you know, my father moved to Hayward in 1954,

[1:24:43] and he moved here because he had an aunt here that had lived here

[1:24:47] some years before that.

[1:24:49] So probably in the late 40s, early 50s.

[1:24:52] And so, you know, we you know, my family has a very, very

[1:24:57] long history here in Hayward.

[1:25:01] Two years ago when my mother's sister passed away,

[1:25:07] my mom and I went back to New Mexico

[1:25:11] to for the funeral services.

[1:25:13] And after Mass and after the services,

[1:25:16] we go back to the church, to the reception hall, to, you know,

[1:25:22] have the reception and so we were there.

[1:25:26] And there was people there all, you know, milling around.

[1:25:30] And I drove.

[1:25:31] I said this, but my family's originally

[1:25:33] from New Mexico, small town in the southeastern part

[1:25:37] of the state, little small town back there.

[1:25:41] And as we were there at the church in the in the reception

[1:25:46] hall, we're eating this couple walked up to me and they were

[1:25:50] probably in their late 80s 90s, an age and the wife,

[1:25:56] the woman she asked me, she said,

[1:26:01] aren't you the the nephew or the grandson who is from Hayward?

[1:26:07] And I said, Yes.

[1:26:09] And she goes, You're the mayor of Hayward, aren't you?

[1:26:11] And I said, Why, I am.

[1:26:13] And she and so she went into this little story

[1:26:16] about how she lived in Hayward right off of his esperion

[1:26:22] in a little neighborhood and went in.

[1:26:24] Right.

[1:26:25] You know, over there by Shinola way.

[1:26:27] And in those streets over there And she had fond memories

[1:26:31] and she said, yes, we used to after school,

[1:26:34] we used to go across the street and play with our friends who

[1:26:38] lived in that little community right next to the airport.

[1:26:41] And I was like, Yeah, yeah.

[1:26:44] And I go, It was probably Russell City.

[1:26:47] And she says, Yes, absolu lutely.

[1:26:50] And she was sitting there as she was standing

[1:26:52] there telling the story.

[1:26:53] She kind of quietly shook her head

[1:26:55] and she said it was a travesty what had been done

[1:26:59] to those families, a travesty.

[1:27:04] And so here we were, three states away a woman who was

[1:27:10] in her 90s, maybe older, had great memories of growing up

[1:27:15] in Hayward and living in Hayward.

[1:27:17] But the one memory that she wanted to share with me

[1:27:22] was her friends who lived in Russell City

[1:27:25] and how she remembered and the treatment of that neighborhood

[1:27:30] and how it was neglected and, you know, and i

[1:27:35] and I was very happy at that time.

[1:27:38] I was very happy to say, you know, ma'am,

[1:27:41] I think the council, we are about to embark on a process

[1:27:45] where we are going to acknowledge those families

[1:27:48] and repair for the harm that was done.

[1:27:52] And she just, you know she stood there.

[1:27:56] And she goes, it's about time.

[1:27:59] It's about time.

[1:28:00] And so I, I am so glad we are doing this.

[1:28:04] I am so pleased to be the mayor of a city

[1:28:08] with a council like this, making this vote tonight.

[1:28:13] We we're certainly not going to reverse

[1:28:18] everything that had been done.

[1:28:21] But at least this here demonstrates our value

[1:28:27] as a city.

[1:28:29] The value that we focus on is the diversity, inclusion

[1:28:35] and justice.

[1:28:38] So with that, it was moved by Council member Andrews.

[1:28:42] It was seconded by Council member Roach.

[1:28:45] Madam City Clerk Can we please take

[1:28:47] the role and ladies and gentlemen,

[1:29:08] it passes unanimously Thank you.

[1:29:24] Supervisor OK our next item is item number 12,

[1:29:30] and I want to be sure our next item is item number 12.

[1:29:37] And I believe Mayor Pro Tem Seraph wanted to pull item 12.

[1:29:43] Correct Yeah.

[1:29:45] And there is.

[1:29:46] And I do have two public comment cards on that.

[1:29:48] So let me before I go to public comment,

[1:29:52] let me first referred to councilmember or Mayor Pro tem

[1:29:56] and go ahead.

[1:29:57] Thank you.

[1:29:57] I'll start with questions and give comments

[1:29:59] after public comment.

[1:30:00] But just for the public's knowledge,

[1:30:02] this contract is discussing transitioning off

[1:30:04] of flight cameras to Axon.

[1:30:07] Given that a flight cameras expiring or trying

[1:30:10] a flight contract is expiring from my understanding,

[1:30:13] we have two concurrent flight contracts.

[1:30:15] How many remaining flight cameras

[1:30:16] would there be in the city if this transition goes through

[1:30:21] or if we allowed the contract?

[1:30:22] The current flight contract to expire?

[1:30:25] I had that number last night.

[1:30:28] And I just need to look at it or i can also ask Chief Matthews

[1:30:34] if that's it.

[1:30:35] Yes.

[1:30:36] Okay.

[1:30:36] If he can get there faster.

[1:30:38] Oh 23 2023.

[1:30:39] Great.

[1:30:40] Thank you.

[1:30:41] You.

[1:30:41] Yeah, I'll keep the rest.

[1:30:43] My comments for public comment after public comment.

[1:30:46] OK.

[1:30:47] I Councilmember Roach, thank you.

[1:30:49] I wasn't going to speak but since we brought it up,

[1:30:51] I was hoping that we can comment on the funding

[1:30:53] that it's not going to.

[1:30:55] I, I specific question is it's not going now,

[1:30:57] John, any additional general fund dollars for this item,

[1:31:00] is that correct?

[1:31:00] That's correct.

[1:31:01] Okay.

[1:31:01] Thank you.

[1:31:04] Great.

[1:31:04] Okay.

[1:31:05] I'll go to public comment.

[1:31:06] I have two public cards First public comment is, is it

[1:31:11] a Arianna?

[1:31:13] OK Good evening.

[1:31:23] Council.

[1:31:24] My name is Adriana.

[1:31:25] I'm hayward, homeowner and small business owner.

[1:31:28] And I'm speaking on this item and urging council

[1:31:30] to vote no on this item at this time,

[1:31:33] or at least continue this item at least 60 days

[1:31:36] minimum to have a full audit completed,

[1:31:38] such as those done by Mountain View and Los Altos Hills.

[1:31:42] These audits have found out-of-state access

[1:31:44] and we don't yet know the vulnerabilities of access

[1:31:47] or the user center, which is also on this item.

[1:31:50] Well, this technology be similar to the flock AI capability

[1:31:53] that journalists are able to see in a video which

[1:31:56] shows a man rollerblading with the camera panned out

[1:31:58] and then zooming into his phone, playing a video

[1:32:01] while he takes a break.

[1:32:02] Should I set the expectation that these cameras

[1:32:04] can zoom in to what I'm doing?

[1:32:07] Drones.

[1:32:07] First responders are described as flying LPR cameras,

[1:32:11] drones are considered military equipment

[1:32:13] and a recent audit of Elk Grove's flock, a LPR system,

[1:32:16] shows only 3% of searches involving

[1:32:18] data recorded in the city were made by the Acro police

[1:32:22] department.

[1:32:22] The other 8 million were searches from 3,600 other

[1:32:26] cities, counties, states, federal agencies

[1:32:29] and governmental organizations This included fusion centers,

[1:32:32] which collaborate with the Department of Homeland Security.

[1:32:34] It does not appear that police departments can control

[1:32:36] who is searching the data, despite saying

[1:32:38] certain agencies do not have access

[1:32:40] to this police department.

[1:32:42] Also has a robust drone as first Responders

[1:32:44] program and RTI, RC, which is also a part of this resolution.

[1:32:48] Is this what we can expect as an evolution here in Hayward

[1:32:51] as well?

[1:32:52] Do we have policies in place that

[1:32:54] align with the 2017 California Senate Bill

[1:32:56] 54, which restricts state and local law

[1:32:59] enforcement cooperation with federal immigration agents?

[1:33:01] Does anyone know?

[1:33:02] Ice has spent almost $100 million in contracts with Exxon

[1:33:05] in the last two decades since it was created

[1:33:08] in February of this year.

[1:33:10] I signed another contract with Exxon for $220 million,

[1:33:14] at least 50 police officers have been charged or accused

[1:33:16] of using Floc for unauthorized purposes and over half

[1:33:19] of those involved using it on their wives,

[1:33:21] girlfriends, exes as exes, new partners

[1:33:23] or women they wanted to meet.

[1:33:25] According to the Washington post.

[1:33:26] How is this technology going to be different?

[1:33:28] As a survivor of gender based sexual violence,

[1:33:30] who was not able to report to the police

[1:33:32] for those same reasons?

[1:33:33] I have serious concerns about this.

[1:33:35] And representatives could come up here and say anything.

[1:33:38] Today in Wisconsin, the city council

[1:33:40] had to rescind a floor contract within 24 hours

[1:33:42] after Floc representatives lied about the technology's

[1:33:44] capability.

[1:33:45] So without an audit, how can we, the residents of Hayward,

[1:33:48] be expected to trust this decision,

[1:33:50] especially after what just happened with the A.I. Data

[1:33:52] Center?

[1:33:53] Is that the standard that we're setting here for Hayward, Exxon

[1:33:56] makes police more than body cameras, which

[1:33:58] also have a functionality, according

[1:34:00] to Exxon's own website.

[1:34:02] Police can ask the general info about facts,

[1:34:04] definitions, calculations.

[1:34:06] What are common street names for that?

[1:34:07] Next?

[1:34:08] What is 15% of 198?

[1:34:10] These answers are air generated, but the site

[1:34:12] encourages verification before critical use.

[1:34:15] This item also approves the Exxon Pizza Center

[1:34:18] for HPD purchase, which is a real time

[1:34:20] platform that unifies public and private video streams and apps.

[1:34:24] It also is approval of the full Arctic package.

[1:34:27] Does this include Exxon Outpost and Exxon

[1:34:29] Light post Both of these have live streaming capabilities.

[1:34:33] It does not list any other equipment.

[1:34:35] They also have Tasers and vulnerabilities

[1:34:39] have been found with the Tasers meaning general public can

[1:34:41] tap into the Bluetooth.

[1:34:42] Thanks.

[1:34:43] Thank you.

[1:34:45] Our next speaker is Brian Schott Good evening.

[1:34:56] Council Mayor.

[1:34:57] My name is Brian Shannon the resident

[1:34:59] of Hayward's new district one and have been for over 50 years.

[1:35:04] And I live in Morse court next to Cal State, East Bay

[1:35:08] and I'm here speaking in support of this project and the drones

[1:35:12] as a first responder, I had an opportunity to see a demo of it

[1:35:17] from Hayward PD to the Chamber of Commerce

[1:35:20] and the technology to me is what we need in this city.

[1:35:27] It's a necessary investment to meet the number one

[1:35:29] issue of Hayward residents, and that is public safety

[1:35:33] and the need to feel safe.

[1:35:36] I'm sorry.

[1:35:39] And I ask, what price do you put on the price?

[1:35:42] What price do you put on public safety

[1:35:44] Right now we have anywhere from 9 to 15 teams of police

[1:35:48] officers, some working solo, some in combinations at any one

[1:35:53] time on our street with the drone program they

[1:35:57] can get somebody out.

[1:35:58] They can get eyes on the scene before an officer arrives.

[1:36:03] The officer has more time to be knowledgeable

[1:36:05] about the situation.

[1:36:06] They don't have to sit and be assessed.

[1:36:09] It also protects the safety of our personnel.

[1:36:13] So they know what they're up against.

[1:36:15] The scene, we saw was a guy pulled out a gun

[1:36:19] and pointed it out.

[1:36:20] The drone that they showed in the demo, I believe you saw it.

[1:36:24] Bottom line, the the five year contract worth of roughly $2.9

[1:36:29] million breaks down to about $1,600 a day or around $68

[1:36:34] an hour.

[1:36:36] I can tell you that if you could reduce police

[1:36:41] or if you can get reduced crime at $68 an hour, it's a bargain.

[1:36:48] And I would hope that a similar program be

[1:36:50] instituted with Hayward fire.

[1:36:52] Watching these drones down from the nine

[1:36:54] fired district fire stations in the district.

[1:36:57] I live in the hills.

[1:36:59] I want somebody to see the smoke that's coming out of my canyon,

[1:37:03] whether it's a barbecue or a tree on fire.

[1:37:06] So I would urge you to pass this consent item.

[1:37:10] Thank you very much Thank you.

[1:37:14] Our next item, our next speaker, sorry is T.J. Hello.

[1:37:24] Now speaking to item 12.

[1:37:26] I'm T.J. with Hayward Concerned Citizens

[1:37:28] I wanted to pull this item again to extend our organized

[1:37:32] and steadfast support, not only for the DIA, for program itself,

[1:37:36] but also for the proposed technology

[1:37:38] package that comes with it.

[1:37:40] We had an opportunity to get all our questions answered

[1:37:42] by Captain Dan Olson and were assured this is a great deal.

[1:37:46] There will be a force multiplier for our police

[1:37:48] and aid greatly in criminal investor ations

[1:37:51] and maintaining community safety.

[1:37:52] I appreciate Captain Olson's time.

[1:37:55] And I urge Council to not only approve the five year agreement,

[1:37:59] but to consider it a good investment for our city's

[1:38:02] future.

[1:38:02] Beyond that, as Brian Schott referred to.

[1:38:05] Thank you.

[1:38:05] You and have a good night.

[1:38:07] Thank you.

[1:38:09] Next speaker is Theresa.

[1:38:13] Are.

[1:38:16] Hi.

[1:38:16] Good evening, everyone.

[1:38:18] This is Theresa Resentence.

[1:38:21] I'm also a member of Hayward, Concerned Citizen.

[1:38:24] And just like C.J. I am pleased, supportive

[1:38:29] of the deferred program.

[1:38:32] And of the passage from exon enterprises.

[1:38:39] I'm also not at all alarmed at any recording

[1:38:44] by these devices that can be used by the FBI or other law

[1:38:52] enforcement agencies in other cities

[1:38:54] in order to track criminal behavior.

[1:38:57] Here I am much more in favor of safety

[1:39:03] even if it is reducing a little bit of our civil liberties

[1:39:08] because safety is the number one concern that I have.

[1:39:12] Thank you very much Thank you.

[1:39:15] OK.

[1:39:16] So I'd like to come back to the council

[1:39:21] and put a close to public comment and Mayor Pro Tem Ciro.

[1:39:25] Thank you, Mayor.

[1:39:27] I won't belabor the point, because I

[1:39:30] think I've given my position on the expansion of surveillance

[1:39:33] tech in the time of Ice.

[1:39:34] And so I think I'm going to remain consistent

[1:39:36] with that tonight.

[1:39:38] I'm really happy to see that we're transitioning away

[1:39:40] from Floc.

[1:39:40] I do want to say that first and foremost.

[1:39:42] So I want to acknowledge the work that's gone

[1:39:44] into looking for alternatives.

[1:39:45] I do have concerns about the alternatives

[1:39:47] as I do research on Axon versus Floc I see this being coming.

[1:39:51] A battle of almost two investor camps.

[1:39:53] The Wall Street investors and the Silicon Valley investors.

[1:39:56] Silicon Valley's interested in flock.

[1:39:58] Wall Street's interested in Axon.

[1:40:00] Trump is also invested in Axon.

[1:40:02] And so, you know, there's push to move away

[1:40:04] from flock towards Axon.

[1:40:05] I think saves us a bit of money.

[1:40:06] Sure.

[1:40:07] But I don't think it addresses the underlying

[1:40:09] issue of the expansion of mass surveillance infrastructure

[1:40:11] in our communities.

[1:40:12] And so at this time, when we're seeing really blatant abuse

[1:40:16] by Ice agents and contracts being signed with Ice agents,

[1:40:21] I just can't get behind the expansion of more NPR cameras

[1:40:26] and surveillance infrastructure in our communities.

[1:40:28] I understand that is a good investment

[1:40:31] to invest in public safety.

[1:40:32] I think we spend close to 80% of our general fund

[1:40:34] on public safety features as a city,

[1:40:37] our largest chunk by far I also would retort,

[1:40:40] you know, what price do we put on our own civil liberties

[1:40:43] when we have neighbors that are being kidnapped by Ice

[1:40:46] and we're not 100% sure if our tools are

[1:40:48] being used for these purposes.

[1:40:50] So I won't belabor the point any more,

[1:40:53] but that's my stance on it.

[1:40:55] And, if died and passes, it passes Thank

[1:40:59] you, Councilmember Rob O'Neill.

[1:41:02] Thank you, Mayor.

[1:41:03] I just had a quick question for the police chief.

[1:41:06] You know, the domain issue, I think

[1:41:09] that I have is not with this particular contract,

[1:41:12] but in general, is the inappropriate usage or access

[1:41:15] to this data and to this information.

[1:41:17] I think we heard examples today of,

[1:41:20] you know, how this is how these cameras or this footage

[1:41:23] has been used by Ice or it's been in appropriately access

[1:41:26] by members of the community.

[1:41:27] Can you just talk a little bit about sort

[1:41:29] of your level of confidence with data security and access

[1:41:33] to this footage and how that's going

[1:41:34] to be sort of monitored and audited to make sure that this

[1:41:38] is only being accessed, in accordance

[1:41:40] with HPD policy and, you know, through your oversight.

[1:41:44] Yeah, absolutely I'll start with the audit process

[1:41:46] first, because we are doing that with our current program.

[1:41:49] So on a monthly basis, Captain Olson and his staff

[1:41:54] are mining our LPR data to make sure

[1:41:57] that is not being inappropriately accessed

[1:41:59] by people who shouldn't have it, including

[1:42:01] people who are outside the state of California.

[1:42:03] And for people who are from federal agencies

[1:42:05] that are responsible for immigration enforcement.

[1:42:08] We do comply with SB 34 and SB 54.

[1:42:12] And this technology that we're proposing does.

[1:42:15] Also, the other audit that we're doing is on the staff side.

[1:42:19] So in order to access information,

[1:42:21] everybody has an individual user ID

[1:42:23] and everybody has to include a reason code for doing a search.

[1:42:27] And so that is what we're auditing.

[1:42:28] We're making sure that people are accessing

[1:42:30] this for legitimate law enforcement purposes

[1:42:33] and not for personal reasons, so that work

[1:42:36] is ongoing with our current program.

[1:42:39] One of the reasons why we selected Axon as a vendor

[1:42:42] is because we are confident in their ability to protect data.

[1:42:45] We have evidence, all of our digital evidence

[1:42:48] is currently uploaded into that system.

[1:42:50] This information would be uploaded into that system

[1:42:53] as well.

[1:42:54] We contract with them for body worn cameras.

[1:42:57] We have fleet cameras that already

[1:42:59] have their API, our capability.

[1:43:02] And so confident in their ability to protect information,

[1:43:08] keep it out of the hands of people they shouldn't have it.

[1:43:11] Thank you.

[1:43:11] And then as it relates to drones,

[1:43:14] there's going to be particular use

[1:43:15] cases in which those drawings, those drones get deployed.

[1:43:18] They're not just going to be kind of roaming around the city

[1:43:21] during are doing general surveillance,

[1:43:23] like on a regular basis, right?

[1:43:25] Correct.

[1:43:25] We have very explicit prohibition language

[1:43:29] in our policy.

[1:43:31] Random surveillance is not allowed.

[1:43:34] The DIA far concept is solely based on calls for service.

[1:43:38] So it's 100% in response to somebody calling 911

[1:43:41] for something, whether it's on the PD or the fire side.

[1:43:45] Those are the cases where we're talking about using

[1:43:48] this concept Got it.

[1:43:50] And in addition to criminal stuff that will be using these,

[1:43:54] you know, this technology for can't it

[1:43:57] also be used to help us kind of respond in large scale

[1:44:00] fires or natural disasters?

[1:44:02] Can you just help us understand the application

[1:44:04] of this technology beyond, you know,

[1:44:06] crime reduction or crime response?

[1:44:08] Yeah, absolutely.

[1:44:08] I think, in the example of a wildland fire

[1:44:11] getting eyes above it to figure out

[1:44:13] which direction is traveling.

[1:44:14] Having the fire department have the ability

[1:44:16] to take a look at a structure for integrity reasons

[1:44:19] before they're sending stuff inside of it.

[1:44:21] I mean, there's a total application for it

[1:44:22] in emergency response, we set on a major fault line.

[1:44:27] I don't have to tell you, I'm sure we all share the you know,

[1:44:30] that two, 2, 2, 4 a.m.

[1:44:32] window in the middle of the night where we

[1:44:34] worry about things like that.

[1:44:35] If we are subject to a major earthquake, not

[1:44:39] only are we going to have to do damage assessment,

[1:44:41] we're going to have to do rescue operations.

[1:44:45] You know, this is a situational awareness tool

[1:44:48] that's going to help us direct staff

[1:44:50] and direct them faster than we can now.

[1:44:53] Thank you.

[1:44:54] And just because this is approved,

[1:44:56] we were looking at this on an annual basis

[1:44:59] to ensure conformance with policy is an applicable laws.

[1:45:01] And if there's ever a deviation from that,

[1:45:04] we would have an ability to stop this, right?

[1:45:06] Yes.

[1:45:07] So this falls within maybe 41.

[1:45:10] We have to get authorized action from the council annually

[1:45:13] to continue to use that equipment If there

[1:45:16] is an instance of an employee misuse

[1:45:19] or a problem with the program or something

[1:45:21] that the council says, hey, we're shutting it down,

[1:45:23] you absolutely have the ability to do that So this

[1:45:26] will be something that we talk about on an annual basis.

[1:45:28] We're also happy to talk about it.

[1:45:31] You know at the will of the council, Public Safety

[1:45:35] Committee, we have that forum as well.

[1:45:37] So we're happy to share information and present on it.

[1:45:40] We do have a public facing website

[1:45:42] that people can take a look at our policies are there.

[1:45:45] And this this concept will be integrated into that.

[1:45:48] So we will be reporting out on usage people will

[1:45:53] be able to look at that stuff.

[1:45:54] Appreciate that transparency.

[1:45:56] Thank you, Chief.

[1:45:57] And thanks for your leadership.

[1:45:59] Thank you.

[1:46:00] Before before I call on my on the next speaker, what

[1:46:07] I'd like to do is I'd like to go ahead and move this item

[1:46:11] and moved by Mayor Salinas and seconded by Council member

[1:46:15] Bonilla, Councilmember Goldstein, thank you, Chief.

[1:46:23] You have daughters.

[1:46:25] How would you feel if you found one of your officers using

[1:46:28] the surveillance technology to monitor one of your daughters?

[1:46:39] The the person misusing the technology

[1:46:42] would be subject to discipline up to and including termination.

[1:46:46] I knew that would be your answer.

[1:46:48] And I know you're a man of integrity

[1:46:50] and I absolutely agree with my colleagues

[1:46:54] that this technology can be a real lifesaver.

[1:46:57] We can also really extend our ability

[1:47:01] to reach people who need.

[1:47:04] So a responder.

[1:47:06] Right away, it's got applicability with police

[1:47:10] and fire in rescue operation.

[1:47:13] And and also in monitoring, fleeing suspects and fleeing

[1:47:18] vehicles in a way that does not jeopardize

[1:47:22] our employees or our residents.

[1:47:25] So totally understand that, you know,

[1:47:30] there's some debate around this, but this is honestly

[1:47:33] the most cost effective force multiplier

[1:47:35] that we could possibly apply.

[1:47:38] And we have, you have put in the place we have as a city

[1:47:44] put in place the mechanisms to make sure

[1:47:47] that the technology is used responsibly and not abused,

[1:47:51] correct?

[1:47:52] Absolutely.

[1:47:53] Very good.

[1:47:53] Thank you for your service.

[1:47:54] Thank you Councilmember Andrews.

[1:47:58] Thank you.

[1:47:58] I wanted to ask another question.

[1:48:02] I understand that we have reporting annually.

[1:48:05] I wanted to know if we can increase the reporting in terms

[1:48:08] if there's any misuse, if there's any reports that

[1:48:10] come out on access.

[1:48:12] Hayward anything that's been called in that,

[1:48:16] you know the residents felt like there was misuse.

[1:48:20] I know there's been calls that I've received where people

[1:48:23] thought it was a police drone, but it actually

[1:48:25] was a private drone.

[1:48:26] So just went to see if that was passed.

[1:48:27] Yeah.

[1:48:28] So anybody can report a suspected case of misuse

[1:48:33] either by contacting Internal Affairs,

[1:48:35] they can send me an email, you can

[1:48:37] go to Access Hayward is a variety of mechanisms

[1:48:39] for doing that.

[1:48:40] And they will be investigated.

[1:48:41] And we do.

[1:48:42] And, we do audit the program We have not found a case of misuse

[1:48:47] with the drone program or with the license plate reader program

[1:48:51] on, you know, on behalf of staff.

[1:48:53] I mean, that's something that we've

[1:48:54] had in place since about 2022, I believe.

[1:48:56] So.

[1:48:57] But there is a mechanism for people to report that,

[1:49:00] and that's part of what we will report out

[1:49:03] during a before anyone if we get a complaint

[1:49:05] or if we get a case of misuse.

[1:49:07] That's part of what we're responsible for telling you

[1:49:09] all as our counsel.

[1:49:11] Is it possible.

[1:49:12] You can just report that out at every public safety committee

[1:49:15] meeting and then we can include that in the standing

[1:49:18] presentation slide?

[1:49:19] Sure.

[1:49:19] OK.

[1:49:20] And then also how you all are meeting recommendations

[1:49:22] that you found in ACLU's standards

[1:49:26] for operating a drone program or license plate reader program.

[1:49:30] Is there any kind of cross-reference of that ?

[1:49:34] So we did.

[1:49:35] In fact, one of the people who helped shaped our policy

[1:49:38] was an attorney working for the ACLU at the time.

[1:49:41] I was part of the former advisory panel.

[1:49:44] So the chief and we did review a lot of material published

[1:49:49] by the ACLU on privacy concerns when we built the program

[1:49:53] And that was presented to the council and approved.

[1:49:57] So we did we did look at all of that.

[1:50:00] And can you confirm that he repeatedly

[1:50:05] does not coordinate with Ice?

[1:50:07] We do not.

[1:50:07] And it's under SB 34 and SB 54.

[1:50:12] So legal for us to do that.

[1:50:15] Our policy has been in place.

[1:50:17] Well before the current federal administration.

[1:50:19] And since some of the things that we're seeing now,

[1:50:22] we've had that policy in place for a long time.

[1:50:25] OK.

[1:50:26] Thank you.

[1:50:27] Yes, a few comments.

[1:50:28] Yeah.

[1:50:29] Council member Cyrus, thank you for answering my colleague's

[1:50:31] questions, Chief.

[1:50:32] I appreciate the thoroughness with which you're bringing forth

[1:50:34] this proposal.

[1:50:34] I have a few requests.

[1:50:35] I think you have the support you need here,

[1:50:37] but I want to make sure that we're in.

[1:50:39] What's the expression?

[1:50:39] Dotting the I's and crossing our T's?

[1:50:41] So are we able to ensure that we're not

[1:50:44] livestreaming to these cameras, but that there are drive

[1:50:46] by triggered?

[1:50:46] I want to make sure that it's not a constant surveillance

[1:50:48] speed.

[1:50:49] If this proposal goes through, what is the under.

[1:50:52] What is your understanding of how these cameras are

[1:50:54] going to operate?

[1:50:55] Are you talking about the LPR cameras or the drone technology

[1:50:58] ?

[1:50:58] So my understanding is that they are

[1:51:00] they operate the way that the cameras that we have now operate

[1:51:04] the Alpers technology is a detection technology.

[1:51:07] Does capture images of vehicles with a date

[1:51:09] and time and location stamp.

[1:51:12] The technology either you know we're

[1:51:14] proposing a bring it on board doesn't live

[1:51:19] monitor the movement of people.

[1:51:21] I think my concern is we were told that about Flock.

[1:51:23] We were told a lot of the similar arguments about Flock.

[1:51:25] And then there was found that people

[1:51:26] could hack into these cameras quite easily.

[1:51:28] They were consistently livestreaming and so, you know,

[1:51:30] I'm hearing that Axon has better privacy standards,

[1:51:32] but I just want to make sure that we're

[1:51:34] able to confirm an order that there's not

[1:51:36] a live stream happening but rather it's detection based.

[1:51:38] So that we're protecting people's privacy.

[1:51:39] I see cattle stand behind you.

[1:51:41] You might have some something to add.

[1:51:42] I want to turn it over to Captain Olson.

[1:51:44] Who knows?

[1:51:45] That's great All of this stuff.

[1:51:48] Great.

[1:51:48] Yeah, just a quick clarification on that, councilmember.

[1:51:52] Sorry.

[1:51:52] So the outpost product, the LPR product does

[1:51:55] have the ability to livestream when we are viewing it

[1:51:58] in the fuses platform.

[1:51:59] And it does not pan, it does not tilt it does not zoom

[1:52:02] and it does not record for later.

[1:52:05] Recall Great.

[1:52:06] Down the road.

[1:52:07] Okay.

[1:52:07] And then just as a point of housekeeping for the flock

[1:52:10] cameras that are expiring, how soon to be able to remove

[1:52:13] those poles from the ground.

[1:52:14] So they're not in our communities anymore

[1:52:16] One of my concerns with them is the way they're installed.

[1:52:18] They don't have a break plate, so they

[1:52:19] become a risk for drivers.

[1:52:21] How soon can we expect to see those six cameras removed?

[1:52:25] We haven't discussed that with Flock quite yet.

[1:52:27] And my expectation would be is when the contract ends

[1:52:29] in December, they're going to come get them in December,

[1:52:31] they're going to leave their equipment here

[1:52:33] in our town unpaid for.

[1:52:35] Okay.

[1:52:35] Because sometimes I have canceled their contracts,

[1:52:37] have had to put bags over them because Flock refused

[1:52:39] to come and remove them.

[1:52:40] So I just want us to be prepared to remove them if needed

[1:52:44] And then as far as reporting goes for the Public Safety

[1:52:46] Committee, I would appreciate reports

[1:52:47] similar to what Councilmember Andrews was asking for.

[1:52:50] I would like to understand the efficacy of these helpers.

[1:52:52] What is this help ability rate currently?

[1:52:54] How are the helpers contributing to that?

[1:52:56] Which cases have been associated with it?

[1:52:57] Not just the highlights.

[1:52:58] I know it's fun to tell a story of this particular shot caught

[1:53:01] this guy, but I want to understand

[1:53:03] in general you know, is this technology truly benefiting

[1:53:06] our community and is it worth the cost?

[1:53:08] And without that efficacy, it's also hard for me

[1:53:10] to approve a budget and out of this caliber, given

[1:53:12] that we're in a deficit.

[1:53:14] Yeah, we're happy to do that.

[1:53:16] On that topic, I'm happy to share two cases in the last 2

[1:53:20] or 3 months, we had two infinite auction cases

[1:53:24] One was a domestic violence incident where an offender who

[1:53:28] had prior attempted murder charges

[1:53:30] was involving the mother of his child, physically assaulted her,

[1:53:36] took their infant and left.

[1:53:38] And we had that person in custody in 20 minutes

[1:53:42] without a LPR technology that would

[1:53:44] have been a statewide Amber Alert and who knows what

[1:53:47] the outcome would have been.

[1:53:48] It was safely resolved.

[1:53:50] Maybe a month later.

[1:53:52] Similar situation in that a mother abducted an infant

[1:53:56] that she was not supposed to have.

[1:53:59] We were able to locate her vehicle down

[1:54:03] in Southern California and with the assistance of a Southern

[1:54:06] California law enforcement agency,

[1:54:07] we were able to apprehend her as she

[1:54:10] was trying to get a passport for the child to take the child out

[1:54:15] of country.

[1:54:16] So those are just two examples of the effectiveness of this.

[1:54:21] I'm really happy to hear those cases resolved.

[1:54:23] I think I want to understand on a macro level within the city,

[1:54:26] just in general, how much usage are we seeing from this program

[1:54:29] and how is it benefiting the city?

[1:54:31] I think it's great that those two cases, you know,

[1:54:33] these airports may have contributed to them being closed

[1:54:36] and those crimes being stopped.

[1:54:37] I just want to make sure we understand

[1:54:39] what we're buying here in this is having citywide.

[1:54:42] And then lastly, just one of the concerns

[1:54:44] that came up from a conceptual is

[1:54:45] there have been cases of an Alpine misreading, a license

[1:54:48] plate maybe registering it as a stolen

[1:54:51] vehicle or a vehicle registered in somebody else's name.

[1:54:53] And people are having negative altercations

[1:54:54] with police officers or law enforcement because of.

[1:54:56] So we have not and that's not to say that it can't happen.

[1:55:00] I think one of the things that I've read about

[1:55:02] and I'm familiar with in talking to chiefs from other agencies

[1:55:05] is part of that is human error.

[1:55:07] Right ?

[1:55:08] If a vehicle is reported stolen and it's recovered,

[1:55:11] but it's not taken out of the stolen vehicle system

[1:55:13] and it goes under an HPR camera, Yes, it will alert.

[1:55:16] OK.

[1:55:17] And officers have to you know, make a decision

[1:55:19] about how to respond to that.

[1:55:20] I think the important thing to understand

[1:55:22] is that this is not decision making.

[1:55:24] Technology is detection technology.

[1:55:26] The decision making rests with the individual officer

[1:55:28] who's processing everything at the scene.

[1:55:32] Could that happen?

[1:55:33] Absolutely.

[1:55:34] Am I familiar with that happening to us?

[1:55:35] No And again, you know, we are constantly

[1:55:39] in conversation with our staff to make sure those things

[1:55:41] don't happen.

[1:55:42] OK, great.

[1:55:43] And then the last question here is,

[1:55:45] you said that in order to log into these systems

[1:55:47] requires a reason, by the officer logging into it.

[1:55:50] This is also includes the future system.

[1:55:52] Is that what you're describing?

[1:55:54] Correct.

[1:55:54] OK.

[1:55:55] All right.

[1:55:55] Thank you.

[1:55:56] Thank you I see.

[1:55:58] I see.

[1:56:00] Councilmember or menu.

[1:56:04] Thank you, Mayor.

[1:56:05] And thank you for actually moving on the item.

[1:56:07] So I thought it.

[1:56:09] I you know, one of the main the emails

[1:56:12] that the group of emails that I received as public safety,

[1:56:15] public safety, public safety.

[1:56:17] So in this particular case, I certainly

[1:56:20] agree with the majority of my colleagues up here.

[1:56:25] And I think that we are going to pass this particular item

[1:56:29] on the drone system as can be used by both the firefighters

[1:56:34] and by police Our service talk about saving lives is being used

[1:56:38] right now up in the mountains, etc..

[1:56:41] I've seen it in operation.

[1:56:43] I don't it was mentioned that somebody

[1:56:47] may be using it to spy on their girlfriend

[1:56:51] or whatever the case that they know that happens.

[1:56:53] But if that were to happen then there's possible dismissal.

[1:56:56] I don't think we have that kind of personnel

[1:57:01] in our police or fire fighting force.

[1:57:06] I trust the leadership of our two forces.

[1:57:11] I trust our all of our officers and in the firefighting

[1:57:17] and in the police force, I don't see it at all.

[1:57:23] This is not going to come from our general fund.

[1:57:26] This is five years.

[1:57:30] The change from flag to the other company

[1:57:34] I think it's good for the company.

[1:57:38] 23 cameras, That's fine as far as I'm concerned.

[1:57:41] So I will support this because every m mail

[1:57:48] that I receive where the police I'm I don't feel safe.

[1:57:53] Public safety, please.

[1:57:55] And this is going to help us out.

[1:57:57] So thank you.

[1:58:00] Thank you.

[1:58:02] You know, before i call on the roll call here, I

[1:58:07] you know, I just want to just say that, you know,

[1:58:13] this world is full of cameras.

[1:58:16] There's cameras everywhere.

[1:58:19] And, you know, everywhere we go, we can go to a grocery store.

[1:58:26] Quick, stop, 7-Eleven, anywhere.

[1:58:29] We're we're all on camera and no one asks us

[1:58:35] whether we want to be on camera, but we're on it.

[1:58:45] You know, as a public official, all our or all of us

[1:58:51] are often videotaped without our permission.

[1:58:54] And it's done in hostile ways.

[1:58:57] People are waiting for gotcha moments.

[1:59:00] And they pull out their phones and they get us off guard.

[1:59:06] They get us unprepared.

[1:59:11] And we don't ask for it.

[1:59:14] We don't invite it.

[1:59:16] But the cameras, phones are in our faces.

[1:59:20] They're across tables and and no one, you know,

[1:59:27] and often times people monetize all of that when they catch us

[1:59:33] off guard as elected officials.

[1:59:35] And then they posted and they posted on their platforms.

[1:59:39] And and they monetize as all of us, me, it's been done.

[1:59:46] It's happened to me.

[1:59:48] And that's one way of using cameras in the public.

[1:59:55] But in this case, we we're using cameras to protect people.

[2:00:02] And I don't know, absolutely.

[2:00:05] I know he means well.

[2:00:06] And I and I have a great deal of respect for my colleague

[2:00:11] Zarrab over there.

[2:00:12] And we simply disagree on this issue.

[2:00:15] But, you know, and I don't I don't think

[2:00:18] he meant this in his tone.

[2:00:21] But we need to be very careful on how

[2:00:24] we dismiss the victims of crimes in this city.

[2:00:28] Victims of child abductions in this city,

[2:00:33] that if it weren't for a camera or a license plate reader,

[2:00:39] we would still be looking for that baby.

[2:00:47] And so I take this i take this issue very, very serious.

[2:00:53] I take this vote very, very serious.

[2:00:57] I have been observing this issue for a very long time.

[2:01:01] I've watched council meetings.

[2:01:03] I watched other council meetings in the Bay Area grapple

[2:01:08] with cameras with license plate readers and councils

[2:01:15] all across the Bay Area from conservative councils

[2:01:19] to far left progressive councils to moderate councils.

[2:01:24] Every council I have seen across the Bay Area councils

[2:01:29] are 100% fully behind this.

[2:01:31] Whether you know, you got council members that are for it.

[2:01:35] And you got council members that are against it and and,

[2:01:41] and, and even in some of the most urban cities

[2:01:45] where we have seen kids, city of Richmond

[2:01:51] being another example where there was a girl abducted

[2:01:58] a purely avoidable case.

[2:02:02] It was completely avoidable.

[2:02:03] And not only was that little girl abducted,

[2:02:06] but the person who abducted her came back to Richmond

[2:02:13] to leave again and to be missed because of cameras, because

[2:02:18] of the lack of get or the cameras being turned off.

[2:02:22] So I hope I hope that in this discussion that we keep front

[2:02:30] and center for the victims, the potential victims,

[2:02:36] we city appear and we talk about the most vulnerable.

[2:02:40] All we talked about protecting the most vulnerable.

[2:02:43] Well, this is just one piece.

[2:02:46] And you know what?

[2:02:47] If it doesn't work out, we can pull it.

[2:02:51] We can pull it as the chair of the Public Safety Committee,

[2:02:55] we'll pull it We'll stop it.

[2:02:59] But I. I, you know, I've said this before

[2:03:03] and this will be the last point I make.

[2:03:06] You know, as a mayor and as a council.

[2:03:10] But as a mayor, I have a lot of responsibilities up here.

[2:03:15] And as a mayor But my number one responsibility number one,

[2:03:23] is to ensure that we have a safe community full stop,

[2:03:31] and while while there is a lot of conversation

[2:03:37] and discuss often around this topic,

[2:03:40] around cameras and license plate readers and all this,

[2:03:44] I still think that this is yet one tool

[2:03:47] available to us that will keep people safe

[2:03:50] and in particularly keep people that

[2:03:54] are arguably some of the most vulnerable

[2:03:56] in our community safe.

[2:03:58] And those are kids.

[2:03:59] So that's a madam City clerk, you know,

[2:04:03] please take roll Oops in the item

[2:04:23] passes with six eyes and one.

[2:04:25] No, thank you.

[2:04:31] That's okay.

[2:04:32] I'd like to now move on to our one legislative business

[2:04:37] item, which is the Cao Cities 2026 Annual Conference Adopt

[2:04:45] resolutions.

[2:04:45] One designate and a voting designee.

[2:04:48] Net an alternate for the conference scheduled

[2:04:50] for September 20th 3, 2 25, 2026,

[2:04:53] and to directing the city's voting delegate to vote

[2:04:56] on a proposed League of California Cities General

[2:04:59] Assembly resolution calling for a working group to consider

[2:05:02] actions to ensure final local authority over housing and land

[2:05:06] use decisions.

[2:05:07] And this report will come to us when we and our city manager.

[2:05:12] But I think he's going to win on this one.

[2:05:15] City Manager.

[2:05:15] I win.

[2:05:17] Do you want me to do a staff report and presentation or just.

[2:05:20] Yeah, just do a how many slides?

[2:05:23] 3.

[2:05:24] 3.

[2:05:25] Roll the slides.

[2:05:26] Okay, So those two actions we're asking you to take,

[2:05:30] there's as you may know, the staff report

[2:05:33] said there's a the Cal City conference is coming up

[2:05:36] in September.

[2:05:38] Is is a really important opportunity for the city council

[2:05:40] to advocate for the city's local interests

[2:05:43] within the state to to understand

[2:05:46] what best practices are occurring

[2:05:48] and to vote as part of the Cal City's on Cal City actions.

[2:05:54] So there's two actions.

[2:05:56] One is to essentially designate the delegates.

[2:05:59] And alternative alternates for that.

[2:06:01] So one delegate and two alternates

[2:06:04] and then the second action of someone we go to the next slide

[2:06:08] and would be great is that there is a proposed Cal City's

[2:06:12] resolution.

[2:06:12] The city of Marietta is proposing

[2:06:14] to form a working group to develop

[2:06:16] strategies for strengthening local housing

[2:06:18] and land use authority.

[2:06:20] This is consistent with the city's

[2:06:22] current legislative program that we're in the process of updating

[2:06:24] and that we do want to make sure we

[2:06:27] maintain a balance with local control and housing laws.

[2:06:31] I will say I think the jury's out in terms of whether

[2:06:35] or not the staff would support what ultimately comes

[2:06:37] from that working group or not.

[2:06:38] But we don't see any reason not to support

[2:06:40] the creation of a working group and discussion about that.

[2:06:43] And then to be a part of those discussions

[2:06:46] So we do support this resolution.

[2:06:47] And again, what comes from that working group on

[2:06:49] whether or not we ultimately support what comes from that.

[2:06:52] I think we'd have to look at that more carefully.

[2:06:53] But the formation of that working group makes sense to us.

[2:06:56] And so we are recommending even that once you designate it A

[2:07:00] or designate person to represent to the city,

[2:07:04] that that they also support this resolution.

[2:07:06] So those are the two actions and go to the next slide.

[2:07:11] Designate a General Assembly representative

[2:07:13] and support the proposed Cal Cities resolution OK.

[2:07:17] Thank you.

[2:07:18] So I'll start up here and I'm going

[2:07:21] to nominate Councilmember Bonilla as the delegate

[2:07:23] and Councilmember Roach as the alternate

[2:07:26] How is that to alternate to alternate?

[2:07:29] Oh, okay.

[2:07:30] How about.

[2:07:31] And then we'll be as your alternate Okay?

[2:07:35] Yeah.

[2:07:35] OK.

[2:07:36] So I guess I just got passed.

[2:07:38] I did.

[2:07:39] You okay with that?

[2:07:40] OK, so I'm going to be the primary and two alternates.

[2:07:43] OK, I can do that All right.

[2:07:47] I think we have to have public comment first.

[2:07:48] Yeah.

[2:07:49] Yeah.

[2:07:49] So.

[2:07:50] So we'll do.

[2:07:50] OK.

[2:07:51] So we got that covered.

[2:07:52] And it was to say, oh, and then the id,

[2:07:54] the id, the the resolution.

[2:07:56] Can you go back up to the screen with a resolution

[2:08:05] so to the slide before we go on the you OK So Councilor Ciro

[2:08:11] Mayor pro tem.

[2:08:13] Sorry.

[2:08:14] Thank you Just a question around this.

[2:08:17] The way it's framed gave me the feeling

[2:08:19] of like the Nimby movement a little bit

[2:08:21] where the state is really pushing for more housing

[2:08:23] development in communities that have traditionally blocked

[2:08:26] a lot of housing development And I'm

[2:08:28] curious if this is a way framed under the guise of local control

[2:08:30] to try to take back some of that power where you know,

[2:08:34] that I think would lead to worse housing production results.

[2:08:37] I guess I just wanted to hear your perspective on this.

[2:08:40] I agree.

[2:08:41] I think that is what where this is headed a little bit,

[2:08:45] that that's some of the tone that I'm kind of gaining.

[2:08:48] But I don't think what the action before you

[2:08:51] is really the formation of a working group.

[2:08:53] I think that might be a good thing

[2:08:54] because then you have discussion and there

[2:08:56] could be different voices.

[2:08:57] So I don't see any reason not to support that.

[2:09:00] And having a discussion about it.

[2:09:01] I do think we have in our legislative program.

[2:09:03] Some concerns about maintaining local control.

[2:09:05] So having a robust discussion about that,

[2:09:07] I don't see that as you know, something to be concerned about.

[2:09:10] But I do think what comes from that working group,

[2:09:13] there could be recommendations that when that time comes,

[2:09:16] if it comes and we may come to you

[2:09:19] and maybe recommend not supporting

[2:09:20] some of those specific recommendations

[2:09:22] if they turn out to be really focused on anti housing

[2:09:25] and/or not promoting housing production Okay, great.

[2:09:27] Thank you for that clarification that I'm okay with the staff

[2:09:30] recommendation to support.

[2:09:32] Great.

[2:09:32] And I tried to get out of being a delegate

[2:09:34] and I automatically became a delegate Barry back.

[2:09:36] So okay.

[2:09:41] Okay.

[2:09:42] Let's see.

[2:09:43] Okay.

[2:09:44] So I will close any other comments on the dais?

[2:09:46] No.

[2:09:47] So we'll open up for public comment.

[2:09:49] I don't have any cards.

[2:09:50] I would close public comment.

[2:09:52] I don't see any public comment online So hold on.

[2:09:58] Since I do.

[2:10:00] So, I. Oh, Glen Kirby, one public comment This

[2:10:12] is Raul Aguilar.

[2:10:13] I couldn't resist saying that I would support a working group

[2:10:19] to discuss this because I see pros and cons on both sides

[2:10:27] and I want to make sure we're fully cognizant of that.

[2:10:32] And discuss the impacts.

[2:10:34] Thank you Thank you.

[2:10:40] Okay.

[2:10:40] So I see no more public comment.

[2:10:43] I'll come back up here to the day.

[2:10:45] As you know, I'll entertain a motion.

[2:10:48] I think Councilmember Bonilla already moved it.

[2:10:51] Yes, I count on.

[2:10:53] OK.

[2:10:54] Moved by Councilmember Bonilla Second by Councilmember Roach.

[2:10:56] Madam City Clerk, if you please.

[2:10:58] Take roll And the item pass passes was six or.

[2:11:21] I'm sorry.

[2:11:21] It was seven votes.

[2:11:22] Yes Thank you.

[2:11:26] Before 4, I adjourn, I, absolutely.

[2:11:31] I do have an adjournment.

[2:11:34] This evening for Mayor silliness.

[2:11:38] I believe there's one more.

[2:11:39] Oh, informational item.

[2:11:42] I think I just heard.

[2:11:51] I apologize.

[2:11:53] Our next item is item number 14, the fiscal year 2026 EMQQ three

[2:12:00] quarter three and quarter four semiannual capital improvement

[2:12:04] Progress Report.

[2:12:06] This is an information item.

[2:12:07] This is one of two.

[2:12:10] First of all, there's no staff report,

[2:12:12] but I just wanted to well, there is a staff report,

[2:12:14] but I just wanted to see if there's

[2:12:16] any questions from council regarding this item.

[2:12:20] Seeing none.

[2:12:21] So I will close that item.

[2:12:23] Thanks.

[2:12:23] Thank you.

[2:12:24] Mr. Merry and next, I'd move on to adjournment.

[2:12:31] But before we do that, I do have an item

[2:12:35] that we're going to be adjourning.

[2:12:40] We have lost a inning Incredible individual here in Hayward.

[2:12:48] Judy Harrison passed away on July 19th and had I met Judy

[2:12:56] Harrison when I, I when I became a council member back in 2010.

[2:13:05] And I was a I was the LIPP, I was the liaison

[2:13:09] on to the library, the council liaison to the library.

[2:13:14] And of course, this was when we were ramping up

[2:13:17] and we were working on the Measure C campaign

[2:13:21] and of course, measure C was, you know,

[2:13:25] the measure that we were going to do a lot of infrastructure,

[2:13:30] a lot of infrastructure building the firehouse roads.

[2:13:34] And so forth, but probably the main project

[2:13:37] that we were really talking about out of the Measure C

[2:13:40] project was or the Measure C, it was Measure C was the library.

[2:13:47] Judy Harrison and her friends on the Friends

[2:13:50] of the Haverhill Public Library, a group of retirees

[2:13:57] single handedly.

[2:13:58] And I mean, I you know you know, there

[2:15:01] So let me read this.

[2:15:04] So that beloved longtime president

[2:15:06] of the Friends of the Hayward Library, Judy Harrison,

[2:15:10] passed away on July 19 of this year.

[2:15:13] Judy was a librarian at eight.

[2:15:16] She was d for most of her career,

[2:15:18] and she had a huge impact on students in the school district.

[2:15:22] Judy also believed strongly in volunteering and uplifting

[2:15:26] all those in need of help.

[2:15:29] Her impact as a volunteer through her early work

[2:15:32] with the Peace Corps at Sere at Sierra Leone

[2:15:35] and on local area residents through the American

[2:15:39] Association of University Women and her tireless advocacy

[2:15:42] for Measure C and of course her work at the library,

[2:15:47] to name just a few, is immeasurable.

[2:15:50] And through all this Judy was always fun to be around.

[2:15:55] Judy's passion for traveling continued

[2:15:58] to the very end and nothing could keep her down

[2:16:02] She traveled all over the world, spreading joy wherever she went.

[2:16:07] Judy's legacy will live on for many generations.
