[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
[28:08] separately
[28:09] a approval of the city of arcade US fiscal
year 1900 local transportation fund be
[28:15] approved the city of Ferndale fiscal year
1020 local transportation fund claim see
[28:21] approval of the city of Rio Dell's fiscal
year 121920 local transportation fund
[28:28] claim D.
[28:29] Approval of the city of Trinidad fiscal
year 28 in $1000.00 local transportation
[28:35] fund claim and B.
[28:36] Approval of the city of Trinidad fiscal
year 21920 local transportation claim
[28:43] and F.
[28:44] Approval of the county of humbles fiscal
year 21920 local transportation fund claim
[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.
