[0:10] I saw. A lot. Oh yeah there's

[0:17] a green light green one gas prices. OK So we have

[0:23] a motion 2nd we have

[0:25] a 2nd I'll 2nd OK. Any discussion and when the public want to

[0:32] make a comment OK we've

[0:33] a motion 2nd all in favor say aye. Abstain OK

[0:40] now if if this board of directors orientation what are we doing. Well I have

[0:46] a history for you and we do have a lot of new members this year and I do have

[0:50] a paper document that I'm going to update but I thought it would be good just to do

[0:55] a Powerpoint funner that way and I'll start with the 1st slide I've been in humbled

[1:01] for 24 years it's the 1st time this year went to the Benbow it was off so there's

[1:06] a picture right right on the ground it was wonderful. OK.

[1:13] God does have

[1:14] a mission statement I'm not going to read it for you I'm not going to be that kind

[1:17] of a presenter but I could not find

[1:19] a picture with all the things we do in it so I found another pretty picture one

[1:24] thing you'll notice that is not there is any mention of housing so we all know that

[1:30] age card is responsible for the regional housing needs allocation process and we

[1:34] got. That duty because it was formed under

[1:39] a specific government code in 1068 but we're not it's an unfunded mandate that

[1:44] doesn't mean it can't be in our mission statement but this mission statement was

[1:47] made before my time probably 20 years ago. So this thought was kind of interesting

[1:53] that housing isn't

[1:54] a part of what the mission is. The other thing I wanted to mention is that the

[2:00] Senate bill 375 required large regional transportation planning agencies were

[2:06] called M.P.O.

[2:08] The. Metropolitan transportation planning organizations they required them to do

[2:15] a special document with r.g.p that links housing and transportation in order to

[2:19] reduce greenhouse gas we don't we don't not have that requirement right now but it

[2:23] could happen in 2020 they'll be another census and if the census turns out

[2:30] that the area and not just the city limits but the area around it where people are

[2:35] clustered if it's more than $50000.00 people then we will be in M.P.O.

[2:40] At that time I think they give you 2 years to do that in 2010 are the greater

[2:44] Eureka area was 40 just over 45000 so I don't know what happened in the last 10

[2:50] years but and there's also to consider how they determine what

[2:54] a cluster is they talk about jumping and hopping and they have

[2:57] a matrix on how they determine when to stop so you know for instance you Rican

[3:03] arcade are considered

[3:04] a cluster because there's not enough people in between but if they change their

[3:08] methodology that could make

[3:10] a big difference as well so that could come and there's If the board had any wish

[3:17] to update the mission statement or anything then that's something that we can bring

[3:20] up. And bring back to you. OK so this

[3:27] picture here does anybody guess where did this. Well it was

[3:33] a 64 flood but that is Ferndale and you can perfect timing. You can see for in

[3:39] bridge on the top left corner up there so I chose that picture because.

[3:46] When it's called was formed in 100-7968. It really had limited

[3:53] duties. I mean how would you deal with a big problem like that you can't

[3:59] a city can't fix that on their own you have to work together and apparently at that

[4:03] time from what I read some state and federal money were tied to having an

[4:09] organization a regional organization so the G.P.A.

[4:13] Was very limited to what they can do it was it was

[4:16] a planning organization that not transportation so they they didn't have staff

[4:22] planners in

[4:23] a committee and the chair would come to their meeting and they weren't paid they

[4:28] did have

[4:28] a secretary I'm not sure how that worked but it was. A lot different then than how

[4:35] we are now so we did change

[4:41] a lot in the seventy's and that was due to

[4:44] a few things in 1071 the transportation Development Act was passed and we have

[4:50] items on our agenda today for all of our jurists most of our jurisdictions. And

[4:56] that is

[4:57] a quarter cent of the sales tax that goes it was part of the local transportation

[5:00] Development Act We also had some bill $69.00 that that formed

[5:05] a Caltrans so Caltrans was formed it was

[5:07] a bunch of other departments that they formed in one department of transportation.

[5:14] And the state designated as the regional transportation planning agency.

[5:21] And that decade in the $75.00 in $76.00 I read in the J.P.

[5:24] Is that it was the 1st time cities had to pay dues and. Each

[5:31] city gave a certain dollar amount and it was

[5:34] a very much then and the idea was that it could match a state grant to fund

[5:39] a city administrator and a planner and even had it in their G.P.A.

[5:46] That the city of Trinidad got that plan or for half of

[5:48] a day. I think blue lake for 3 quarters of

[5:52] a day and they kind of doled out that like that the city of Rio del offered. Office

[5:58] for these people and they paid the fringe benefits and got paid back but it was

[6:03] very very limited in terms of each cog. In it was kind of like

[6:10] well to show you my next fight in the O.C.

[6:12] What I'm talking about so I don't know if you've seen the albino tree. So I was

[6:18] kind of like you know but you didn't make its own chloroform so they didn't have we

[6:22] didn't have their own employees in the eighty's. Some other big changes happened

[6:29] they. Stopped doing that the shares or the do and they they

[6:36] were receiving state funding they actually hired them their own employees. They

[6:42] were receiving money so they named the county auditor as

[6:46] a treasured or treasure and they even accepted gifts from the public so. It was

[6:52] a different time as we are now. After that happened it's you know it's kind of like

[6:58] the tree got its own roots and could live on its own but before that time each cog

[7:03] was. Just you know

[7:05] a very small part of each city in the county. In 1903

[7:12] we were designated each congress days ignited as the service authority for freeway

[7:16] emergencies for

[7:17] a complex program and the next big change to the Joint Powers agreement was

[7:24] adding

[7:25] a few bullet points actually in it that talked about more of the duties that had

[7:31] taken on from the past because the duties that were listed were way back from 78

[7:36] they had never really been added to. The other big thing was that each card was

[7:42] identified as

[7:43] a public entity separate and apart from its individual members and from what I read

[7:48] in our in our files and that was so that none of the cities or the county would be

[7:53] liable for anything so I thought you'd like you would all like to know that So

[8:00] today we did have

[8:02] a few amendments in $2161.00 is to clarify that your counsel in the Board of

[8:08] Supervisors can point at an alternate that has the same powers as the primary

[8:15] we did break away

[8:16] a little bit from the county in terms of their auditing department so the state law

[8:20] requires our transportation development funds to go there that we. Named our

[8:27] fiscal officer as the Treasurer and we have an auditor that comes every year you've

[8:32] met Keith he was here and make sure that our audits are in order so that was there

[8:37] was a big change. And the other thing that we did when we attempted to be

[8:43] a self-help County in 2016 with measure you. The Board of Supervisors David

[8:49] designated each card as the local transportation authority and with that there was

[8:54] the transaction and use of youth in use authority what's interesting now what's

[9:00] going on is there is assembly Assembly Bill 1413 it will be heard in the Senate

[9:07] Transportation Committee on June 25th and Governor governance and finance on July

[9:13] 8th and that I think I spoke about before is where the county can carve out

[9:18] a certain area to be self-help so I know the city of Eureka was very successful

[9:23] last year not enough but very close city of R K That might be interested. If this

[9:30] bill goes through you wouldn't have to move forward with the whole county sales tax

[9:35] it could only be for and

[9:36] a specific area you carve out only the people living in the area or the taxes incur

[9:44] in that area and only development can go in that area and the money can only be

[9:48] used in that area so you can't use it anywhere else so that would if this does go

[9:53] through and it looks like it might then that would be

[9:55] a good conversations for the jurisdictions it does have to be continuous though so

[10:01] the further you go out the less votes you get and fortunately.

[10:10] So our council of government duties I'm calling them is basically our Rina duties

[10:15] and we've just been through this what I just wanted to reemphasize this happens

[10:20] every 8 years and the process is the California Department of Housing and Community

[10:26] Development gives us our our numbers on expected housing in that 8 year period.

[10:34] By different income levels and it's called works with local staff we work at the

[10:39] public and you ultimately develop

[10:42] a methodology on how to split. And then once that's approved. Housing

[10:49] elements are do so for all of our cities in the county the deadline is August 31st

[10:56] and the City of Fortuna and the county have already submitted theirs so the state

[11:01] is reviewing there's

[11:02] a. Couple months early we do have 3 cities in the county that have been. Out of

[11:09] compliance with housing elements not just this new cycle but in the past so

[11:15] hopefully funding is going to be coming through to help them get

[11:19] a get caught up. QUESTION He said every 8 years and we just did it

[11:26] last year but then that was supposed to last for 5 years or so and it's what

[11:32] happened when will it show up again in I think it's 2025 so at the last cycle it

[11:38] was it was like 5.6 years cog elected to increase the frequency of our regional

[11:45] transportation plan from 5 to 4 and because we did that the state allows it to go

[11:49] to an 8 year housing element and that was something that every planning staff.

[11:57] In the county was was happy about. It does cost

[12:01] a little more because we have to update you know more frequently but I think it's

[12:06] a good compromise. Is to lead one of the other complaints and cities. It's what

[12:13] he has turned out as well and I'm not going to name oh it's going to be one report

[12:17] . Yes and blue like did submit in February but they

[12:24] got

[12:25] a long list of. Long to do list so. That

[12:33] I get the next one. So I'm not going to read through every one of these but we do

[12:39] have

[12:39] a lot of requirements and duties and I would just put them in order of how often we

[12:46] . We have to update plans so we have the transit development plan that was updated

[12:51] I think

[12:52] a year ago. To help our transit agencies look forward on how to make improvements

[12:58] in the region we do

[13:00] a regional bicycle plan that at one time was ever acquirement to get the

[13:05] predecessor of what we call the active transportation funds now that requirement is

[13:11] not. Is not there anymore but our bicycle plan is

[13:16] a really good document it will probably morphed into an active transportation plan

[13:20] in the future and that could be

[13:22] a requirement in the future to get funding but they don't really have the

[13:26] guidelines developed for that some agencies do already have active transportation

[13:31] plans we incorporate pedestrian but we haven't moved to that next step yet it will

[13:36] be

[13:37] a big one but we do update it every year and we will be giving the board and update

[13:42] on the progress made we do that on an annual basis as well. This is

[13:48] a long one of the According to public transit human services transportation plan

[13:52] that's

[13:52] a requirement from the federal government the federal government gives the state

[13:56] Caltrans funding and they require that the that this these plans are developed so

[14:02] it has to be developed every 5 years and it does look at transportation needs of

[14:08] seniors and individuals with disabilities our last update was $28.00 teams so it

[14:14] was right around the corner it will be coming to you again our regional

[14:18] transportation plan we update every 4 years and if you're not aware it's

[14:23] a 20 year vision of transportation in the region.

[14:30] We do a pavement management program on behalf of all the cities it's not

[14:34] a requirement for age but for your cities to get federal funding you have to check

[14:39] a box that says you have a private management plan and it is

[14:41] a very helpful document. Wes where we get our ratings for how our votes are the

[14:47] percentages if they're about to fail and we also pay for the software

[14:54] for our 4 largest cities and we have one software package paid for the smaller

[15:00] cities your public works departments are the ones using these we do

[15:06] a public participation plan in conjunction with our title 6 report I'm not sure if

[15:10] you're all aware of that I think every city has to have one as well. And are

[15:17] limited in English proficiency plan we look at. The census data and see if

[15:24] we need to produce documents and have information in different languages so as of

[15:29] the last one we do have things in Spanish available every year we look to see if

[15:34] there's

[15:34] a new new need in the region or every 3 years. We pay

[15:41] for performance audits this is

[15:43] a requirement from the transportation Development Act and it looks at all of

[15:47] functions and in addition to that the operators and. Not only see how they

[15:53] performed in the past but give us recommendations for the future. Putting in our.

[15:59] By the end of this month and start that process pretty soon.

[16:06] Our regional transportation improvement program is every 2 years we will be doing

[16:11] that this year every year local governments need to submit their program of

[16:17] projects by December 15th. This is

[16:22] a part of what we call the state transportation improvement program the stip to our

[16:28] tip is 75 percent of the funds that are in local control 25 percent are in what we

[16:34] call the into regional transportation improvement plan. And Caltrans controls that

[16:40] so we we have partnered with the one on one corridor plan projects Jeff this year

[16:47] he's on the agenda later he'll be talking about that project as well. But this is

[16:52] the most amount of money that comes to the region it differs every year I will find

[16:58] out next Tuesday what our target is the state gives us

[17:00] a target last year the target was around 7 $1000000.00 And that's kind of

[17:05] a minimum target and then they give you a 2nd target

[17:08] a maximum target. Which I think last last 2 years it was $10000000.00 And we asked

[17:14] for all the money and we did get all of the money and the reason we got all the

[17:18] money is that not every region asked for all their funds they're saving for

[17:22] a big project so we got really lucky but we're also in the hole about $3000000.00

[17:27] So we will find out I find out next Tuesday the estimate will come out and then the

[17:31] California Transportation Commission will do their final estimate at their August

[17:36] meeting so they'll be

[17:37] a few months. Will start working with the technical advisory committee and we'll

[17:43] have discussions with Caltrans will start them today to talk about what our

[17:48] priority needs are for that. Overall work program you're think you're all familiar

[17:54] with that it really documents all of our activities all the projects we're working

[17:58] on. Not only are required projects but when there's extra funding we either do

[18:05] a planning project ourselves or contract out or we do

[18:08] a call for projects for your cities to do planning projects where we can pass the

[18:12] funds to them. Physical and compliance audits we have those every year we just had

[18:19] our presentation from our auditor I think at the last meeting at the meeting before

[18:24] that's very standard and then. I just thought I'd quickly go

[18:30] through the list of all the funding that comes through each cogged I think this is

[18:35] it but. What I don't have are like planning grants and things like that there's

[18:40] just the list for planning grants are not plan it just grants in general to be very

[18:45] long so I'll start with the local transportation fund that's

[18:48] a part of the transportation Development Act funding it's

[18:51] a quarter cent sales tax it comes into the region I'm estimating for last year is

[18:57] about $5200000.00. There are priorities it's called Take spending off the top for

[19:03] planning in the ministration the county auditor across the street get some funds we

[19:09] take 2 percent of the remaining out every time the money comes in for

[19:14] a bike and pet projects and then the rest is distributed to all the cities in the

[19:18] county by population and that's you cannot change the population rule that's by law

[19:23] . I just mentioned the 2 percent Baikal bicycle and pedestrian fund this board

[19:30] did approve allocation. I believe it was the last meeting I think everything's the

[19:36] last meeting but we do

[19:37] a call for projects. And I can remember. One of the

[19:44] awarded projects was

[19:46] a. Safety signal in blue lake. Trinidad as well

[19:53] and. The city of Arcadia asked to extend their ask for funds to extend their

[20:00] planning process so they can look outside of their city limits for the NE and Mary

[20:06] extension project into the county's area just to make it

[20:10] a complete projects so. You know the funding they had didn't extend very far didn't

[20:16] extend outside their city limits that the 2 percent funding will let them do that

[20:21] so there was

[20:22] a full support of the state transit Assistance Fund it's also the 2nd part of the

[20:28] local trip the transportation Development Act It's derived from sales tax on diesel

[20:32] fuel all that goes to our transit agencies so we do

[20:35] a call for projects and it comes to you in

[20:37] a resolution. State of good repair is created out of

[20:42] a Senate bill one the gas tax and it too goes to our transit operators. And it

[20:49] is restricted to their current system so they can't they can't use that money to

[20:55] expand out or to go new places it's to. Keep your system in good repair the low

[21:02] carbon transit operation program. That is for transit operators again and

[21:08] the guidelines on that are specific to reducing greenhouse gas they will in that

[21:14] program let you try new areas to see if you can get people out of their cars so

[21:19] that it does allow an expansion of service. There is the Federal Transit

[21:24] Administration $5311.00 formula grants for rural areas we just had approvals for

[21:29] that and that is for our transit operators and they're restricting it to operations

[21:34] only so years ago they would

[21:37] a lot of our transit operators were used to these funds to buy

[21:40] a bus and now it's restricted to operation so they're looking for other areas and

[21:45] grant opportunities to purchase vehicles the F.D.A.

[21:49] $5311.00 at program is also

[21:51] a federal program and it also has specific guidelines to connect cities and the

[21:58] main requirement there is you have to connect to it one urban area to another and

[22:03] it has to be at least 15 miles so in our area the humble Transit Authority gets

[22:08] funding for the Will Creek system and the Southern humbled system and I believe

[22:14] Greyhound applied again this year so those are the 3 in our region the regional

[22:20] surface transportation program those start as federal funds they go through

[22:25] Caltrans and Caltrans to the gracious enough to swap those funds for state which

[22:31] makes all of your planet

[22:33] a public works staff happy because as many strings tight tied to it we will be we

[22:39] got our dollar amount and we're waiting for

[22:42] a contract from Caltrans So that will be coming to you hopefully next month if not

[22:46] in them the month before. I'd already spoke about the regional transportation

[22:51] improvement program and the last is a new one there is

[22:55] a new one that's the highway infrastructure program. The tatt technical advisory

[23:01] committee has already discussed the dollar amount is about $800000.00 and we will

[23:07] be moving forward a recommendation to you hopefully next month but that was just

[23:13] a surprise that there's new funding out there. Now it does let you use it

[23:20] on streets and roads if there are

[23:22] a certain level so not necessarily has to be. An

[23:28] arterial or. A collector you think you might. Be.

[23:37] So I would fund the structure I think if I think it's coming from the federal

[23:43] government it is because it has to get into

[23:46] a federal program right so the 2 projects that can't talk we're looking

[23:53] at were the old Arcadia road project so the older kind of road projects project was

[24:00] awarded funding in our chip in 2017 but not all the money they needed they wanted

[24:06] a little bit more for some bike and pet projects the things they applied for active

[24:11] transportation program and were not successful the problem is that these funds

[24:15] cannot be used for

[24:16] a bicycle in pedestrian uses So if that's what's going to move forward I'll be

[24:21] working with the California Transportation Commission to see if we can still add

[24:27] that money to that project it'll just be that that money is not paying for the bike

[24:30] impaired it's paying for the road and I'm sure that will be fine and the other

[24:34] project was the Fortuna project on Redwood So that was the same story it was funded

[24:38] in the in our our tip. In the step there was

[24:43] a short fall for active transportation they applied and were not successful so

[24:48] we're hoping we could. You know make those projects whole. So I'm not sure what the

[24:54] final decision is going to be yet but it will be

[24:56] a recommendation to you. And for your board.

[25:04] I say these are our member agencies we will have

[25:08] a report from complete member AVIs on his board meeting with the California

[25:15] so she shouldn't of councils of governments I also attend the world can't really

[25:20] any task force meetings we meet and actually we report to the California

[25:24] Transportation Commission we review everything that's coming through the works in

[25:29] terms. In Sacramento and have a voice for rural areas it's

[25:35] a very very good organization and I think well respected in the California

[25:42] Transportation Commission there's also the North State super region and that was

[25:46] formed probably 67 years ago that's the most northern 16 counties and it's

[25:53] regional transportation exec's the secular group directors getting together to make

[25:57] sure that we're on the same page if there is

[26:00] a big project. Or someone's going to get

[26:03] a grant we can all get together and support that one project in the bill grants or

[26:08] the TIGER grants or things like that but it's just good to have. A northern really

[26:15] Northern California group. And that's it and I

[26:22] can certainly answer any questions and if there's ideas for any changes then that's

[26:26] something that you can direct me to work on. Thank you.

[26:38] Thank you. Most of these are councils of government and we are an association of

[26:44] government you know that. In 1068 if it were. Just most

[26:51] people did Council of Governments but we're all under that same government code

[26:55] 6550 Yeah Are there any others like us now we're special.

[27:08] And you know on the board of thoughts comments anywhere in the public and they want

[27:14] to say about the history of H.R.

[27:16] . OK OK thank you Marcella that was nice of you to think of us that are

[27:22] those of us that are new There's

[27:24] a lot to grasp. I appreciate that the premier which is yeah it's

[27:31] always good to get

[27:31] a review even and I think we've we've asked in times past and I think you came up

[27:36] with at one time of just all the acronyms Oh hands and maybe even put it in plastic

[27:41] you know we talked about it today too. We have it up here as we have been updated

[27:46] updated them today but we forgot to bring them. So now we're on the

[27:53] Consent Calendar. Read over Steve. By

[28:00] motion approved the following items considered to be routine and acted in one

[28:04] motion item may be reef removed from the Consent Calendar and will be heard

[28:52] it's

[28:52] a new one on the board want to remove any of those Consent Calendar items do

[29:01] you want to remove it. For.

[29:10] 2nd Trinidad. Resolution it should say ceiling it's just been

[29:16] misspelled course now I can't find it.

[29:31] In the staff report or yeah it was just in the figures here I have it

[29:38] it's in the 2nd Trinidad. I believe it's

[29:42] a typo on the 2nd Trinidad project it says street maintenance I think that's

[29:49] opposed to say sealing etc If you can find that in your package to me.

[29:58] OK Do the ocean to approve the Consent Calendar as amended I'll make that was.

[30:07] OK We have

[30:08] a motion in the 2nd and one of the public comments about the said calendar. OK I

[30:14] guess we don't really do that but I do know we do we do we. I do have one comment

[30:20] though we did have an audit finding this year and that was to get. Jurisdictions to

[30:27] turn their claims in early and I just have to say Phil did

[30:29] a great job. That is why we have

[30:32] a long list Yeah I noticed some were 2819 Some were 2120 is like it's some

[30:39] sort of well it's good to have it at the beginning of the year so that everything's

[30:42] ready to go instead of you know sometimes we don't get them and sometimes we get

[30:48] them in June for that year I don't know how they spend the money but they do. OK We

[30:54] have

[30:54] a motion 2nd all those in favor say aye aye aye. Very. We are on

[31:01] to 18 we are reconvening as the H.

[31:04] Called board so I'm looking for

[31:05] a motion to approve the pact with the nations also move 2nd

[31:12] OK we have

[31:13] a motion in the seconds all those in favor say aye aye aye. And now we're onto each

[31:19] called staff and pack member reports and 8 we have the California Association of

[31:25] councils governments board of directors meeting. In this directory this here will

[31:31] provide the report of the meeting. Thank you. This was the

[31:37] 2nd board meeting that I had a chance to attend told in Sacramento it's

[31:43] a very large board. So they have to have

[31:47] a large room in which to to find that so we ended up in the California Museum which

[31:52] was pretty interesting in its own right. The

[31:59] Council of. California Association of councils government is

[32:04] a really unique organization. It represents all of the different locals cogs.

[32:12] And also ties itself closely with both the League of California cities and the

[32:19] California so Cieszyn counties and we were. Treated by.

[32:27] Presentations by the executive directors from both of the sort of musicians and

[32:32] they stressed. Their value working with alcohol on

[32:37] a number of issues. Because they find that it represents

[32:41] a broad swatch of California governments representing

[32:46] a large population base and they get

[32:48] a lot more movement when they're working with the legislature and with the governor

[32:54] we were also treated with a presentation by

[32:57] a new economic. Appointee to Governor newsman's office to work on

[33:04] housing issues and housing was in fact the primary topic of the meeting there were

[33:10] a number of things that we do we looked at but primarily there was one item that

[33:16] Marcella had actually. Expressed interest in hearing more about. Which was the

[33:23] trailer bill and so I headed off all enthusiastic expecting to

[33:30] find out about tiny houses and travel trailers and of the things that could

[33:37] be put into backyards but it turned out not to be trailers

[33:45] trailer is different term. It just sort of trails along behind the governor's whim

[33:52] and it's called a traitor bill and we call it that instead of calling it a B.

[33:56] Arrest be something that's just a name but what is the shorthand is it it's

[34:03] a large pot of money and it's coming to California communities and there will be

[34:08] money that is spent directly or some sent directly to local communities an equal

[34:15] amount of money that's been sent for redistribution to the through the coffee so we

[34:21] will get

[34:22] a package of money available. For the figures that they were looking at is about

[34:27] $840000.00. I mean happily

[34:34] Marcel has been working in league with with the executive director from Cal clogged

[34:40] and the other member executive directors and she's more versed in the details of

[34:46] what actually is happening than I am I. AM So if you have any specific questions

[34:50] about that she'll be available to to to respond to it we only

[34:57] meet 3 times

[34:59] a year. Once November which is coming up and then there is an annual. Conference

[35:08] that's held in the spring and then he made me so I'll be able to report back

[35:14] again to

[35:16] a few items on the agenda but they're usually pretty big picture items and things

[35:20] have to filter down through the through several filters before they reach our level

[35:25] here. Want to give me

[35:31] a quick synopsis of the well I haven't seen the details so that's the hard part and

[35:38] from what I hear the story changes

[35:40] a lot so at one point for the smaller cogs they were going to instead of giving

[35:47] into the CAGR give it directly to the cities or let the cities decide if they

[35:52] wanted to take it directly and then the leftovers would come to the Coggan we could

[35:55] help the small cities and I just don't know what is going to happen at the end I.

[36:03] Don't have access to the document itself so I think the executive director might be

[36:07] sitting in meetings. That's one thing I'll have to look for to see if there's

[36:12] drafts out there but it changes so much. In terms of the throbber purpose is to

[36:18] assist with I was it is yes so I think every city in the county is going to get

[36:24] 120000 they say directly and that's to help. Help people get their housing elements

[36:31] done so I'm hoping that they don't disqualify disqualify the cities that don't have

[36:37] a current housing element I don't know that detail and then they're also putting

[36:41] And you did

[36:42] a very good report here. 500000000. Into. A

[36:49] pot to solve the problem of well you know you could build

[36:54] a house here but then you have to fix the roads you need to get sewer and

[36:57] everything so this is these funds will go into an existing program that helps with

[37:01] the infrastructure part of it the applicant for that fund is not a city or

[37:06] a county it's a private developer that works with

[37:08] a city or county so that's that's one of the big tricks and in our region I looked

[37:13] at past cycles of this program Danko has been successful they would have 2 projects

[37:17] in Eureka that there. Were successful in and Samoa they use this program to get

[37:24] funding for that and I believe there was another one in Arcadia so. But there is

[37:29] a link there is

[37:30] a lot of discussion about the linkage between transportation and housing.

[37:37] There's one move for example try to get some of the large companies in Silicon

[37:42] Valley to relocate or at least send off

[37:47] a portion of their workforce how do were people living so you might find things

[37:52] that Tracy or other outlying regions to prevent the need for people to have to make

[37:58] those long commutes and reduce some of the congestion issues that would also allow

[38:05] for greater economic development of the communities where the people live since

[38:09] they would be able to be working in town and could do

[38:13] a lot of their shopping there bring in the sales tax dollars to those communities

[38:18] instead of having them all end up in Santa Clara County. One of

[38:24] the board members is is really insistent on making sure that we always link housing

[38:30] and transportation. We just don't have the ability to

[38:36] handle huge is increases in traffic on existing roadway systems we really don't

[38:42] have the financial wherewithal I think to keep adding more roads you know major

[38:48] roads collect the roads so the idea of locating jobs and housing in proximity to

[38:53] one another really becomes ever more prominent.

[39:00] I will County is not growing thriftily fast I do doubt that it will change too soon

[39:07] but we may begin to see some increases as we get climate refugees looking to move

[39:12] out of hot areas into cooler areas. And that could happen

[39:19] over

[39:19] a fairly short period of time and so having these opportunities with these different

[39:26] findings and and the work that does to try to assist rural

[39:33] communities as well as the big urban areas is. Really going to be useful

[39:40] we have recognition as have been special needs in rural areas. Because of

[39:47] low population bases and low economic ability to get things done but still have the

[39:53] kinetic needs we also have a lot of highway miles or road miles for

[39:58] a given population so there's

[39:59] a lot of infrastructure to maintain. For relatively small population

[40:06] and we're fortunate that we aren't. Having to suffer from poor road maintenance.

[40:13] You know Cal friends on

[40:15] a main highways. The can be otherwise it was strictly based on

[40:19] a per capita basis for fortune to be up here thank you.

[40:29] Yeah there's any other board members the comments are thoughts or questions. Like

[40:39] that's what the story is so. It's called Get 840 gotten on top of that

[40:46] that's what that's what they're saying so the but the 1st funding goes directly to

[40:50] cities and counties and it's mostly for planning purposes for preparing

[40:57] preparing for what most jurisdictions haven't done their 6 Flags cycle every night

[41:01] yet so

[41:02] a lot of them will be using that to get ready for their for what we just went through

[41:07] . So we're currently working on our hot housing element and almost done with it and

[41:14] that comes right after it does that mean. Anything that is and it's yeah yeah

[41:21] I mean that. For being on time.

[41:28] If you don't get the money from teamwork and targets I suspect you would get the

[41:31] funding and you already spent the money you had to get reimbursed Yeah I don't know

[41:36] I'm not saying that because it sounds too good to be true but I mean there's always

[41:40] going to be planning to do even when it's completed you have your next planning. Or

[41:46] sort of on action thing where I would hope so and

[41:53] I think once it comes out I can get my eyes on it there are

[41:56] a lot of him right there are a lot of people like he's forcing over it there's

[42:02] a lot of meetings and discussions going on and other executives director from

[42:06] Calgary does send e-mails and say oh they changed their mind on this they change

[42:09] their mind on that so I'm kind of just wait and see what comes out so does does it

[42:14] matter that like say We chose I think if I recall correctly Jones 5050 jobs housing

[42:20] does it make any difference if you like to use more 60 percent towards jobs that

[42:25] help is that making a difference and not in terms of the funding it makes

[42:29] a difference if you want to have more housing in. An arcade because that's where

[42:36] most of the jobs are so that would be

[42:38] a difference if if you got more numbers in the in the cities as opposed to the

[42:42] county in the smaller areas I mean we saw the numbers I can't remember if it was

[42:47] a big difference or not it. Is relatively what it was what you know it was one so

[42:52] we didn't have the biggest. And White House and the county it always says.

[43:01] Yeah city. Did have

[43:05] a thing for any if you heard anything regarding There was talk. Eliminating or

[43:12] severely limiting impact the that wasn't mentioned reading you

[43:19] earlier in the budget. Wanted to make it easier

[43:26] for developers by limiting ory limited eating impact. Without necessarily

[43:33] regional we could be interested. There was

[43:39] a bill that did is did fail and it said if you didn't have your housing element. Or

[43:44] you didn't mean part of the arena then you didn't get your gas tax money so that

[43:48] did not move forward.

[43:55] Thank you. So now we're 90 Caltrans report on the one

[44:01] a one quarter front. Well might just want to go OK.

[44:12] Hello everyone. My name is Jeff come and tell me

[44:16] a project manager here Caltrans in our district one office. And I am the project

[44:22] manager for the record kid record or project so today I'm here to provide an update

[44:26] on that. So 1st I'll cover. The mitigation the well in mitigation project

[44:33] that we are currently designing and negotiating with the permitting agencies so I

[44:39] know there's been

[44:40] a change in the board but previously we had. Not so good

[44:47] news that in the amount of wetland mitigation we had

[44:50] a parcel that was dedicated for the wetland mitigation wasn't going to be able to

[44:55] produce the amount of wetland mitigation we needed it to so the team had to go back

[45:01] to the drawing board a little bit in terms of either finding

[45:05] a suitable site to provide that mitigation and work with the permitting agencies on

[45:11] that on that topic so we were successfully able to get the Coastal Commission to

[45:18] agree to spar tiny eradication in the humble Bay region which is an invasive grass

[45:23] species that is ecologically not good for the environment so we are going to be

[45:29] actually doing that to satisfy V.M.

[45:32] Packs required by offsetting those impacts for the Coastal Commission most likely

[45:38] on Indian island. Which will be is

[45:42] a tribe property and we've gotten approval from them to partner with them on doing

[45:47] that and they're very excited about that so that will have

[45:50] a huge economic or not economic ecological benefit to the humble Bay. Are to other

[45:56] permanent Gavan seas we're dealing with and well in mitigation is the water board

[46:00] and the Army Corps of Engineers and we will be developing the Samoa parcel which

[46:07] the project has had for quite some time doing well in mitigation there and. Putting

[46:13] that whole package together we expect and see that the cost of actually doing the

[46:17] mitigation sit be should be substantially cheaper than the previous plan at the

[46:23] land fair parcel and so with that it appears as though we'll have the capacity and

[46:29] space to be able to ride all the wet limited geisha and that the Hubble Bay Trail

[46:33] South will need for the impacts related to the trail so that's obviously

[46:38] a positive thing we had already committed to doing the well in mitigation for

[46:42] humble Bay Trail North this it which the city of arcade already completed so

[46:46] between these 2 this part time eradication and the smoke mitigation that will be

[46:51] building off site we should be able to mitigate for all the recur kid

[46:58] a Corps projects which there are so Cal Tran focus projects as well not it's part

[47:02] of the step in the you know location but then also humble Bay Trail North and I

[47:07] will be trail south and we're currently working on agreement with Humboldt County

[47:12] right now to solidify those agreements on the mitigation that we're open to be able

[47:17] to provide to the county for their trail project. Currently we're in the permitting

[47:22] phase. And we expect to be getting our permits through this month

[47:29] and into next month and then with our final permit the close development permit

[47:33] which we were scheduled to be able to get in June but unfortunately was pushed. To

[47:40] August so we are on target to be heard and have a hearing for

[47:45] a coast of element permit and this would include all projects at the August hearing

[47:50] which I believe is August 7th 8th and 9th that's here in Eureka the wharf and

[47:55] you're building. And the big driver behind wanting to get our permits done is

[48:02] we have other safety projects that had delivery dates in June and we're trying to

[48:07] meet those deadlines and deliver those projects to the public and get them

[48:10] constructed so we have a little bit of

[48:12] a delay but the nice thing for the Indian ls to project. Which God has

[48:19] most interest then is we will have those but we expect to have those permits by

[48:23] August for all projects so we will be. We expect to complete the permitting phase

[48:29] well in advance of delivery of the project which is a really nice thing

[48:33] a lot of times especially here on the coast with all the complexities in the

[48:36] coastal zone and various other issues that we're dealing with on permit ing

[48:41] sometimes our permits are coming in at the 11th hour and it puts

[48:44] a lot of risk in terms of the project schedule still be nice that the Caltrans shop

[48:49] projects that we're trying to deliver kind of driving that schedule to get those

[48:52] early on in the development process. See here we've been closely

[48:59] coordinating with all the Permit me agencies on the mitigation as well as the

[49:03] permit and. I was actually going to mention.

[49:09] Thomas Stewart

[49:11] a local photographer had taken some video footage at the end in the intersection

[49:15] back in 2013 when we when there was

[49:17] a coastal development hearing related to the consistency conditions that Caltrans

[49:23] of set with around sea level rise planning visual and well in mitigation and

[49:28] betrayal or trail planning he went out recently took more footage of the

[49:33] intersection shared some planetary clips with me and I think we've got some really

[49:38] good compelling footage to be able to present at the Coastal Commission hearing in

[49:42] August again just to reiterate the real significant need for this safety project so

[49:48] that was nice for him to. Volunteer his time to to do that and support of the

[49:55] project. So you hear so the deadlines I'm going I do

[50:02] have

[50:02] a bit of unfortunate news that recently popped up on the project so. Late last

[50:09] year we performed in the fall September October November we performed drilling at

[50:15] the N.D.L.

[50:15] Intersection to understand more about the soil. The soil condition at the side

[50:22] of the structure and the results recently came in after all the testing we had to

[50:27] send off the samples to various labs are Geo Tech folks got the data and April of 2

[50:33] $1019.00 April this year and the soils are such that the amount of

[50:39] settlement that will occur as

[50:41] a result of the large bills and structure and just the loading at that location

[50:47] that there is going to be significant settlement that the current design of the

[50:51] structures in terms of the foundation. Won't be able to accommodate that amount of

[50:57] settlement so with that there's going to need to be some modification to the

[51:03] structure and fill prison designed to be able to accommodate that amount of

[51:08] settlement which is in the neighborhood of 6 to 8 feet so if you imagine

[51:13] a 20 foot fill prism being placed on that soil they're saying that original soil

[51:19] that's there they're expecting it to settle anywhere between 6 and 8 feet and so

[51:24] that leads to a lot of. Consideration when you're designing

[51:28] a structure foundation to be sure that your structure is not you know is is held

[51:36] is held there and standing and not not moving in ways you don't want to move so

[51:41] this is a very recent news it is most definitely going to have

[51:46] a cost impact on the project to what magnitude I am not sure yet I

[51:53] should know more and by next week the team is 100 percent focused on

[52:00] developing a solution for this which

[52:02] a part of that solution will definitely be increased pile diameters for the piles

[52:07] of the of the footing for the for the structure as well as. Longer length of piles

[52:13] or pile length is likely told nearly doubling in length and so. And there's other

[52:20] considerations that are being taken and into place so all of our jihad techs

[52:24] structure staff design staff are all this is

[52:27] a priority for them right now and the team has done an exhaustive effort looking at

[52:34] one of the constraints around developing

[52:36] a solution and one of those top constraints that I really feel as

[52:40] a project manager H.

[52:42] Kaga is you know my and the department's client and so we serve you in this project

[52:47] and so one of the top constraints is doing everything we can to minimize those cost

[52:50] increases and the team's aware of that because when you're developing

[52:56] a solution there's more expensive things that made us that might necessarily make

[53:01] sense and then maybe there are simpler things that we can do that do make more

[53:04] sense and so there's

[53:06] a lot of constraints and developing that solution from you know not increasing

[53:11] environmental impacts to all kinds of other things that we need to look at and so I

[53:16] just wanted to communicate that to you that cost is definitely something that is

[53:22] a priority in terms of how we develop the solution so I have given Marcel of this

[53:28] update similar to what I just mentioned last week so as we get more information

[53:33] we'll share that. And with that we were you know we've been.

[53:41] Communicating with our headquarters programming staff and by the end of this month

[53:45] our headquarters programming staff on the steps aside needs to have updated project

[53:51] programming requests are also called P P R's which basically set out all the

[53:56] funding commitments by the various programs for the projects and they need to know

[54:00] about any cost increases for existing project program projects they're going to

[54:04] carry over into the 2020 step and this would be one of them so by the end of the

[54:10] month we need to submit an updated project programming request to them that

[54:15] reflects those costs and our son I have communicated little bit about this I know

[54:20] Marcello's voice to me that she's hopeful that the I tip which we had

[54:26] a sizable increase back and I think it was 201617 both on the mitigation and

[54:33] on the project itself we were able to get the eye to kick in 85 percent of that

[54:38] increase with only 15 percent coming from local repairs so that was obviously

[54:43] a nice thing in talking with our programming staff it appears as though.

[54:49] Those funding splits are kind of the basis for moving forward on cost increases but

[54:54] you know Marcello has voiced that desire to look for

[54:58] a potential of getting. Di tip to fully kick and increases but that's not

[55:05] necessarily

[55:05] a decision that the district makes that's really something that you know we are all

[55:10] working together as partners because we have the relationship here with the local

[55:13] staff but we just need to have more conversations with headquarters programming on

[55:18] that topic but I do know in talking with them that the initial starting point is

[55:23] always that funding arrangement and it's likely the 8515.

[55:30] Percentages that were used on the last funding increase like I said I don't have

[55:37] a barometer on where the costs are going to be. But as soon as we know will be

[55:42] informing and letting you guys know but we will need to be submitting that P.P.R.

[55:46] Before the end of the month our headquarters staff want to also know what kind of

[55:52] magnitude of cost increase are we talking about and that likely may play into how

[55:57] we deal with the issue but it's an unfortunate piece of news but also timing and

[56:04] getting it in before the end of the month is I would say

[56:06] a positive thing because if we were to do this mid cycle in the 2020 step and not

[56:11] when it's being established we really risk that the step has already been. Spoken

[56:17] for in terms of the projects that will be funding and you'd run the risk of not

[56:21] being able to get the i'd have to come in and kick and dollars for cost increases

[56:26] so. See if there's anything else I want to share on that.

[56:38] That was it so can you remind me like when we're planning on doing the construction

[56:44] so yeah so the concert delivery years 2021 right now the delivery month I

[56:51] believe is August of 2020 in terms of what we call pencils down designs done and

[56:56] then we start mobilizing to get. The contract advertise and then subsequently

[57:03] awarded to

[57:03] a contractor so if it was completed in late summer fall of

[57:10] 2020 it likely would go to construction and 2021 and I also am not

[57:17] certain whether this. News in terms of the soil condition may have an impact

[57:23] on delivery of the project we don't feel at this time it would delay delivery of

[57:27] the project with the amount of settlement that needs to occur there's actually

[57:31] a time period where that soil needs to surcharge that soil and settle and that

[57:37] could potentially I'm told add some time to the construction timeline of the

[57:40] project because they need to just let soil do its thing so that they don't build

[57:45] the road in the asphalt and then things continue to move and then we have more

[57:49] complications and more cost to fix that so we're looking at that whole picture

[57:54] right now and will update you as we know more. Any questions on that or.

[58:04] So Jeff early on with your presentation thank you for that very detail you talked

[58:10] about going to the Coastal Commission and that you were doing

[58:13] a project at Woodley island in some other area so is that an offsetting of what's

[58:19] happening is that what we could call that and off setting up what's happening at

[58:25] the Bay Area which you're now working with the tribe and I know she mentioned and

[58:31] they can't remember what it was that well offset the effects of this

[58:39] interchange on Indian All right so on Indian island there's it's discovered I

[58:45] believe $180.00 acres of this invasive grass species so close the Coastal

[58:49] Commission is allowing us based on

[58:51] a formula and based on how dense that grass species is in

[58:56] a certain area crediting us for against permanent wetland loss that the court or

[59:03] projects as well as the trail projects are having so I think across all the

[59:07] corridor projects and the bailiff Bay Trail projects there's

[59:11] a little bit more than $800.00 acres of permanent weapon loss and. They call in no

[59:17] net loss policies of the impact the nature of wetland you've got to put an acre

[59:21] back in terms of the Coastal Commission there's a formula by which there's

[59:26] a certain amount of acreage of spar time eradication that we can do to offset each

[59:31] acre of wealth and loss and so the start time eradication is the side of side the

[59:35] Coastal Commission the Samoa mitigation will actually be creating wetlands at the

[59:42] smaller parcel there off to $55.00 that will be dissatisfied the no net loss policy

[59:49] of the water board Regional Water Quality Control Board as well as the Army Corps

[59:52] of Engineers. Since it's been

[59:59] a while since some of the design issues were discussed can you remind me for some

[1:00:03] of survey you know how each of the existing. Crossings will be handled

[1:00:11] yes so. The Indianola under crossing and half signal project is what we call it

[1:00:17] will include the under crossing in Indianola And when we say under crossing it's

[1:00:22] always in reference to what the local road is doing to the highway so when and you

[1:00:27] know under crossing means Indianola will go under one A $11.00 A one will go over

[1:00:32] Indianola that will be the 1st stage or part of construction il actually be

[1:00:36] multiple stages just to perform that work in Indianola along with that addition the

[1:00:42] other parts of the scope of the project would be

[1:00:44] a half signal airport road there by Karl Johnson's Jacobs Avenue where northbound

[1:00:51] traffic would be controlled by the signal as well as vehicles that are going

[1:00:55] southbound and turning left into airport road and then vehicles coming from airport

[1:01:00] road turning left to go south on WANT TO ONE would be controlled by the signal

[1:01:06] vehicles simply traveling southbound to Eureka from our kiddo would be able to flow

[1:01:11] unimpeded by the signal. So that would be the changes that intersection and then

[1:01:17] all of the other intersections including the Mid City California redwood intersect

[1:01:22] a median opening break Bayside those will all be closed and the proposed there

[1:01:29] would be to excavate out that pavement area and actually create. Did she

[1:01:35] wetlands in that area similar to what's in the middle of the media and there today

[1:01:41] and not would be done after the construction and you know so that the impacts in

[1:01:46] terms of diverting traffic and not being able to make movements with Indianola not

[1:01:51] operationally at that stage would occur after the. The Enter crossing is

[1:01:57] functioning. When you say closed you mean mean simply crossing across the other

[1:02:02] lanes of traffic or will those in or she says be no longer there those

[1:02:08] intersections will no longer be there so you would essentially continue the

[1:02:12] vegetated median with that large ditch through there it would look so I don't leave

[1:02:17] that center I mean you'd still be able to go on and off of $101.00 of each of those

[1:02:20] locations direct yes to the outside you'd be able to make so essentially you have

[1:02:25] right in and right out at those locations and then lastly how are you addressing

[1:02:32] sea level rise so sea level rises that we could probably be here for

[1:02:38] a while and that I'm not going to. Pretend to be to sea level rise expert but.

[1:02:45] That's part of our condition and I likely will if you guys want an update on sea

[1:02:49] level rise I'd like to do is come back to Future board many mine and bring our

[1:02:53] planning for its that are doing that but. Yeah I think that's probably the best

[1:02:58] approach on that question perfect thank you.

[1:03:09] I'm guessing that this is probably going probably had to see the pants guess maybe

[1:03:14] a 6 month delay in the project and depending on if

[1:03:17] a little bit of your funds you've had to do

[1:03:19] a quick report to my council you're saying with the soil issues that we're having

[1:03:24] here just well yes. I would say that's probably not accurate it could be longer it

[1:03:30] could be there could be no there could be no impact so. In terms of.

[1:03:37] The solutions that. Are being discussed just around the table but not necessarily

[1:03:45] knowing yet the fuse ability or merit that those have. Some could have no impact at

[1:03:51] all some could have significant impacts so it's kind of weighing the constraints

[1:03:56] trying obviously keep the project on schedule but minimize the cost increases as

[1:04:01] much as possible while also you know not increasing our environmental impacts and

[1:04:06] you know

[1:04:06] a multitude of things that are variables are trying to play with and as we come up

[1:04:12] with

[1:04:12] a solution to solve it thanks for being clear about what really is unclear and.

[1:04:21] I just add to that so it's not the funding that would cause

[1:04:23] a delay the funding is it is an outer years if it turns out that there increase is

[1:04:29] huge the C.T.C.

[1:04:31] Might say well we don't have enough money that year will move us out but if it's

[1:04:35] not that huge then they can add to the project and the funding wouldn't cause

[1:04:40] a delay but the other issues could you. Know

[1:04:47] moments it's there's no one in the public comments OK thank you so much again he

[1:04:53] just is good to get clear up to date information Yeah thanks for having me

[1:05:00] see Caltrans you were down last chance but. So I. Just there are bits and I'm

[1:05:07] filling in for Kevin Tucker. The. Senior planner that works with each cog

[1:05:15] and I have

[1:05:15] a report from gene that he only that Caltrans project manager for Last Chance grade

[1:05:20] and he sent me

[1:05:22] a quick update with some bullet points since I received the update I haven't had

[1:05:26] a chance to go back and ask him questions but it seems like there have been some.

[1:05:31] Some interesting developments with this project but I'll be happy to share with you

[1:05:37] his his update and if you have questions I can see clarification then I am not

[1:05:42] looking to bring that back to you next at the next board meeting but. There's 3

[1:05:48] items the 1st is the Full of their geotechnical at best a geisha ins the Phase 2

[1:05:55] a schedule is expected to begin drilling in August 2019 and the Phase 2 B.

[1:06:01] Schedule is expected to begin drilling in October 2020. The

[1:06:08] Phase 2

[1:06:09] a Phase 2 it be those those are different areas they look at some alternatives some

[1:06:15] of them are remote remote areas with limited road access and he has died that's

[1:06:20] what it's. All all looking at you know kind of. You know Jet geotechnical.

[1:06:28] Investigations for 4 or 10 potential roadway alignments.

[1:06:36] The other in this the 2nd item was. Architecture an engineering contract that this

[1:06:43] isn't an area where I would have liked of NASA more questions follow up questions

[1:06:47] but essentially it appears that this this much of the technical work for this

[1:06:52] project will be will be contracted out to consultant

[1:06:56] a consultant team you know what what the nature of that work is projected to be

[1:07:02] without. That I don't know but. But the contract is expected to be

[1:07:09] executed this winter so. We do have

[1:07:13] a contract engineers that are helping to do some of the less people on projects

[1:07:18] that have increased the workload account transfer it's not so it's not

[1:07:21] a typical at all. But there are some unknowns about that hand and that might be an

[1:07:28] area that we can provide some more information on the future of the 3rd item as

[1:07:32] a public and gauge mental development timeline. August 2019 there's

[1:07:37] a field trip. Scheduled for the last chance create alternatives and the green

[1:07:44] diamond properties. And I don't know if that you know who that's open to we do I

[1:07:49] thought we had

[1:07:50] a delegate here on age Cod that was participating in those events. So.

[1:07:57] So we can we can get confirmation on that. Representative from Rio del Right

[1:08:05] right. So so anyway if there's any interest on these these field trips you know

[1:08:12] maybe Gordon or. Can can report back the border because we could look into special

[1:08:18] requests September 2019 injured Huffman Congressman men is expected

[1:08:25] to to conduct

[1:08:26] a meeting or at 10 to meeting. November 2019 is the. California

[1:08:32] Transportation Commission townhall meeting this is something that that that double

[1:08:38] article Transportation Commission has has helped to facilitate Temora Layton up

[1:08:43] there is have had requests of this meeting today to help introduce the C.T.C.

[1:08:49] Staff or C.D.C.

[1:08:50] The commissioners to the to the project itself it's

[1:08:53] a big project that is going to require federal funding so. Sort of exceeds the

[1:08:59] local ability to to to to fund that project and their support is is essential so.

[1:09:07] So that out that that event will be into November that this this fall $2800.00

[1:09:14] and then this winter 2019 Nope no dates are provided but

[1:09:18] a public meeting is is is expected so if we provide these updates every every

[1:09:25] board meeting so so we can provide more information the future of future updates

[1:09:31] and if there's any questions at the Happy to. Provide whatever information I might

[1:09:37] have for we'll take it back to Jamie and we can ask if he can he can. Come in

[1:09:44] person to some of these board meetings if if if there's an interest. We get. We're

[1:09:51] happy to try to answer questions from him OK.

[1:09:59] Goofy's be drilling October of 20 so the fees to be drilling is expected to begin

[1:10:06] October OK $20.00. Questions. And.

[1:10:14] I just want to add that last Friday representative Huffman did

[1:10:17] a call in on the federal transportation bill and mentioned the word earmark so

[1:10:24] he would say he is requesting

[1:10:26] a list from our region it will be going to the TAC and then to you in August and he

[1:10:32] said he's not sure if that's really going to happen or not and I'm sure last chance

[1:10:35] grid will be on there for an earmark but he just wants to have that in case it's

[1:10:40] necessary if he needs to get something for us and he went once our list the last

[1:10:45] time I know of earmarks in the region was around 2005 when secured it for print

[1:10:50] some of the work on to 99. Your marks have been out of the conversation for

[1:10:56] a long time so I was going to surprise here and just like your market it's so if

[1:11:00] there is

[1:11:00] a federal bill transportation bill and someone wants your vote you say OK my

[1:11:06] project to that and your project it's one that's the simple way to say it. If

[1:11:12] anybody else has another explanation you can chime in but these would be big

[1:11:16] projects it would be big projects right. Up the foot so

[1:11:23] there's

[1:11:23] a couple interchanges unfortunate that are on our in our regional transportation

[1:11:27] plan but you will get that the technical advisory committee to to discuss it

[1:11:32] forward something. Last on the list is report Archita.

[1:11:40] Sorry one the one c 4 supplemental. So the month of May has been added to your list

[1:11:46] and I do see that now that it is. The hours on patrol

[1:11:53] and Miles log was reduced

[1:11:55] a lot one thing he did tell me that. The sergeant has another safety Grant

[1:12:02] and some sometimes will be 2 weeks on 2 weeks off what he's trying now is every

[1:12:06] other day on odd days you'll be on that contract and the other days you'll be on

[1:12:11] the court or that doesn't really explain the decrease in hours the citations were

[1:12:16] still up though so that was that was good there were 9 people cited for going over

[1:12:23] 70 miles an hour and too numerous going over $64.00 and there were 2 winners

[1:12:30] this time one from Oceanside and one from McKinley McKinley bill going over 75

[1:12:35] miles an hour. In the 50 mile an hour corridor

[1:12:45] OK. I guess with that we all know the jury.
