It is with deep gratitude, humility 25 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,760 and reflection that I submit my resignation from the position of the Lake Elsinore City Council 26 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:12,440 effective September 8, 2025, as I will be sworn in as member of the California State Assembly 27 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,440 that afternoon in California. When I was first elected to the City Council in November 2012, 28 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,860 I could not have imagined the incredible journey ahead. For 13 years, I've had the 29 00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:28,140 privilege to learn, lead, launch initiatives that have shaped Lake Elsinore into a place 30 00:03:28,140 --> 00:03:32,620 where families can live, work and play. Yet, like Elsinore, it's not just the city I have 31 00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:37,140 served. It is a home. It is a home where my husband and I build our business, where we 32 00:03:37,140 --> 00:03:42,620 raise our children, and where my heart will always remain. My original motivation to run 33 00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:46,680 for office was inspired by the business community's call for a voice that would 34 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,040 advocate for economic growth in a business-friendly environment. That call became a foundation 35 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,840 for so much of what we accomplished together, strengthening public safety, expanding 36 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,420 in economic development, building new public works facilities in the state of art emergency 37 00:04:01,420 --> 00:04:06,460 operations center, addressing homelessness with a hand up, not a hand out, creating a 38 00:04:06,460 --> 00:04:11,980 2040 vision, implementing the lake management plan, and conservation and development for 39 00:04:11,980 --> 00:04:14,920 the back basin to name just a few of the standouts. 40 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,340 Along the way we have fought battles, some won, some lost. 41 00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:23,400 We stood against the sanctuary state law, represented Lake Elsinore at the White 42 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:29,280 house and navigate the balance between progress and presentation. Even in moments of compromise, 43 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,600 our focus has always remained the same, doing what is best for the community and residents 44 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,720 who call Lake Elsinore home. Among our greatest accomplishments, the Lake Management Plan stands 45 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,560 out as a hallmark achievement. The cutting edge, science-driven approach we create 46 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,660 is innovative, forward-thinking and built to sustain our most important natural resource. 47 00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:53,860 Its success will continue for generations to come, ensuring responsible growth while preserving 48 00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:57,680 the natural beauty and recreational opportunities that make Lake Elsinore unique. 49 00:04:58,420 --> 00:05:02,640 The solutions that we implement here reflect exactly the kind of leadership our region 50 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,100 and state need moving forward, practical, visionary, and sustainable. 51 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,020 Another lasting source of pride for me is LaunchPoint, our first city-owned project 52 00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:19,140 in business. From the rock tile and fabric selections to the overall design and vision, 53 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,460 I poured my heart into every inch of that project. The Council's commitment to delivering 54 00:05:23,460 --> 00:05:32,340 a world class result was unwavering and together we created something that remains a shining 55 00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:39,780 example of how municipal projects can be both innovative and successful. I remain astonished 56 00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:44,340 by what we have accomplished and proud of the way launch point continues to serve as a true 57 00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:46,300 asset for the residents and visitors alike. 58 00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:53,540 Leader Kelsenor also meant leading through natural disasters and tragedies. 59 00:05:53,860 --> 00:05:59,380 The holy fire, devastating floods, and the remarkable super blooms all demanded resilience, 60 00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:01,420 collaboration and quick action. 61 00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:06,320 Governing through these moments gave me an edge I didn't know I had, and it deepened 62 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,120 my appreciation for our staff and first responders, our team's response was like 63 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:10,520 no other. 64 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,920 And I work hard to ensure that every level of staff from city employees, the public officers, 65 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,320 fighters, and first responders knew just how valued they were both in times of crisis 66 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,920 and the daily work of running a city. 67 00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:24,720 It was during these moments that the theme Elsinore Strong came to life. 68 00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:29,380 I will always carry pride in having been part of a community that rises to the occasion 69 00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:30,500 time and time again. 70 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:40,080 Even in tragedy, whether it was the loss of CHP Sergeant Steve Leacon or Riverside 71 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,080 Lake Elsinor was undeniable. What our residents demonstrated was not just an 72 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,460 outpouring of support but a remarkable, deeply woven fabric of care and 73 00:06:48,460 --> 00:06:52,780 resilience. No elect official can truly put into words the power of seeing 74 00:06:52,780 --> 00:06:57,900 community unite in such ways. But I can say with certainty, if one must face 75 00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:01,760 tragedy or hardship, there is no place better to endure in the city of Lake 76 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,320 Elsinor. Together we have tackled challenges, embraced innovation, 77 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,680 built a future stronger than the past from the Veterans Memorial to major 78 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,540 infrastructure improvements. Every effort has been guided by the belief that Lake Elsinore 79 00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:18,900 deserves nothing less than excellence. We pioneered our projects like launch point, 80 00:07:19,260 --> 00:07:24,400 invested in infrastructure through heat works, pavement, technology, advanced environmental 81 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,680 stewardship with the nano-bubbler system, and the safeguard our future with the 82 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,960 lake management plan. Each of these successes reflect not only bold vision but also the 83 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,620 courage to lead in ways few cities dare to. These achievements will endure for 84 00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:40,740 generations, long after our individual terms have ended. 85 00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:44,320 Serving along each of you, just talking about us, good guys now. 86 00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:51,160 In Servenous City has been one of the most impactful professional, personal experiences 87 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,800 of my life, and I am forever grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the friendship 88 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,800 built along the way and for the lessons that will continue to guide me as I step 89 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,820 into the next chapter. 90 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,380 Though I now transition to assembly, I care with me the pride values and innovation 91 00:08:05,380 --> 00:08:06,700 spirit of Lake Elsinore. 92 00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:10,220 I look forward to continue to represent our region at the state level, 93 00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:14,280 ensure in our communities the forest remains strong and Sacramento and that 94 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,660 resilience and creativity, boldness of Lake Elsinore continues to inspire 95 00:08:18,660 --> 00:08:22,320 across California with deepest gratitude and respect sincerely. 96 00:08:22,660 --> 00:08:24,840 Natasha Johnson, Lake Elsinore Strong. 97 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,560 I knew that was a little long but I wanted to take a moment and read that. 98 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,720 We're going to miss Natasha. 99 00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:38,500 Our relationship started on soccer fields when our kids were about four or five years old. 100 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,400 And so it's endured to this point, and she's going to serve us well. 101 00:08:44,060 --> 00:08:48,080 So again, thank you for enduring with me to go through that. 102 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,520 All right.

Today is the 175th anniversary of California statehood. 370 00:27:08,180 --> 00:27:16,200 On September 9th, 1850, President Millard Fillmore, who is from Central New York, not too far from where I was born, 371 00:27:16,780 --> 00:27:21,240 signed an act for the admission of the state of California into the Union. 372 00:27:22,420 --> 00:27:27,340 It was part... California became a state as part of the compromise of 1850. 373 00:27:27,340 --> 00:27:32,400 It's a very interesting history and because I happened to see it today, I wanted to make 374 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:32,920 note of it. 375 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,220 So, happy birthday to the state of California, 175 years old today. 376 00:27:41,970 --> 00:27:44,210 We will go to my first slide. 377 00:27:44,530 --> 00:27:50,210 As you know, I am the RTA representative on the council and keep in mind that youth 378 00:27:50,210 --> 00:27:55,770 ride free on RTA buses and that will continue through the end of December of 2026. 379 00:27:55,770 --> 00:28:00,370 We had some meetings since our last council meeting. 380 00:28:00,810 --> 00:28:04,570 I had a TNOW meeting in Canyon Lake on August 27th. 381 00:28:04,570 --> 00:28:08,090 The Canyon Lake City Manager, Aaron Brown, gave a presentation. 382 00:28:08,930 --> 00:28:13,350 We also had a Board of Directors meeting on August 28th in Riverside. 383 00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:16,470 We completed three different items. 384 00:28:17,670 --> 00:28:23,610 The first, we agreed to enhance 16 bus stop locations, 385 00:28:23,610 --> 00:28:29,730 including their shelters, benches and trash cans in various locations in Western Riverside County. 386 00:28:30,350 --> 00:28:38,430 We also awarded a project to renovate nine 30-year-old restrooms at the Riverside facility, that's the RTA Riverside facility. 387 00:28:39,010 --> 00:28:48,970 And then we also agreed to provide engineering services for six additional electric vehicle charging stations at the Hemet facility. 388 00:28:48,970 --> 00:28:53,990 Just so you know, RTA has facilities in both Riverside and in Hemet. 389 00:28:54,450 --> 00:28:58,690 And so we agreed to enhance those two locations. 390 00:28:59,570 --> 00:29:05,850 We then had a board administration and operations committee meeting on September 3rd. 391 00:29:05,870 --> 00:29:07,150 I am the chair of that board. 392 00:29:07,870 --> 00:29:13,770 And we accepted a study on workers' comp and liability programs. 393 00:29:13,770 --> 00:29:18,710 programs, we set to the full board for their consideration at the end of the month in agreement 394 00:29:18,710 --> 00:29:25,370 to install Wi-Fi routers on dialer ride vehicles. So the full board will consider that at the 395 00:29:25,370 --> 00:29:32,050 end of the month. We also approved the agency's Title VI program. That was their 2025 update. 396 00:29:32,490 --> 00:29:38,090 And then we accepted the California broker compensation disclosure reporting for public 397 00:29:38,090 --> 00:29:44,770 agencies for 2024. So that's what the Board Administration and Operations Committee did, 398 00:29:45,090 --> 00:29:48,410 and we will send all of those items to the full board for their consideration, 399 00:29:48,790 --> 00:29:52,110 as I said, at the end of September. Next slide, please. 400 00:29:53,410 --> 00:29:59,730 I also attended the JPIA meeting, which is the California Joint Powers and 401 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,660 Assurance agency meeting on July 23rd. That is in La Palma, California. I've been the representative 402 00:30:05,660 --> 00:30:11,760 for California JPA since I was first put on the council, or I was first elected to the 403 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:19,140 council in 2018. And at that particular meeting, we reelected Margaret Finley as the president 404 00:30:19,140 --> 00:30:26,120 of the agency and elected committee members from Lakewood, Norwalk, and Belfour. 405 00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:29,980 We 406 00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:38,140 event awards and the strategic plan and operational overview. The JPIA Board meets once a year. 407 00:30:38,380 --> 00:30:43,500 It usually happens in July, and I did that this year. Next slide, please. 408 00:30:44,940 --> 00:30:48,920 I made note of this at the last meeting, but I thought it was important to bring it up 409 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:56,100 again and put his picture on the board. That is John Gray. He's a planning commissioner 410 00:30:56,100 --> 00:31:00,560 commissioner here in Lake Elsinore. He is my planning commissioner. I appointed him to 411 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:08,100 his position. And he received this year from Supervisor Karen Spiegel the 2025 Senior Legacy 412 00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:14,140 Award. And I just wanted to make note of that. John is a terrific individual, a class act, 413 00:31:14,260 --> 00:31:19,700 a real gentleman. And I wanted to make sure that we recognized his accomplishments in 414 00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:23,880 the city. And so to John, if you're watching tonight, thank you for everything that 415 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:31,120 you do, we truly do appreciate it. Next slide, please. As you know, coming up in two weeks 416 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:37,500 and a day, the Lake Elsinore Historical Society will present its third Ruth Atkins speaker 417 00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:43,720 series event right in this room. The event will take place Wednesday, September 24th at 418 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:50,840 7 p.m. And we are honored to have Dr. Michael Bouchard, who works at JPL in Pasadena. 419 00:31:50,840 --> 00:32:00,000 He is a Martian specialist, and he is going to come out and talk about the history of 420 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,120 exploration of Mars, among other things. 421 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,020 It should be a terrific event. 422 00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:10,460 So please plan on coming here on September 24th for our third speaker series event. 423 00:32:11,020 --> 00:32:15,940 The Historical Society just loves doing this, and we're really looking forward to Dr. 424 00:32:15,940 --> 00:32:19,700 Dr. Bouchard from JPL, so hopefully you can come out and enjoy that discussion. 425 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,380 The next slide, please. 426 00:32:23,140 --> 00:32:29,880 I represent Canyon Hills, as does Mayor Pro Tem McGee, and in an area called the Hillside 427 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:35,540 Neighborhood, they're going to have some crack ceiling, you know, of the roads, 428 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,400 and you can see the various phases, and I wanted to bring this to your attention 429 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:39,860 tonight. 430 00:32:40,460 --> 00:32:43,520 If you have any questions about this, of course, you can always contact either 431 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,500 me or Mayor Pro Tembegee about how that's coming along. 432 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:49,340 Next slide. 433 00:32:49,540 --> 00:32:50,140 I think that's it. 434 00:32:51,380 --> 00:32:51,720 Okay. 435 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:57,940 One more thing I wanted to make note of, had the chance last night to go to the California 436 00:32:57,940 --> 00:33:00,260 Cities Riverside County Division meeting. 437 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,260 And Battalion Chief Sean Arnold, who was actually based in Sacramento, but lives here in Southern 438 00:33:06,260 --> 00:33:11,540 California, gave a presentation on the maps that had been recently approved and 439 00:33:11,540 --> 00:33:12,720 were approved earlier tonight. 440 00:33:13,820 --> 00:33:15,860 But the reason why I wanted to raise this 441 00:33:15,860 --> 00:33:20,540 is Chief Arnold will be joining me in Tuscany Hills. 442 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,360 This is my first announcement on this. 443 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,160 On Thursday, October 16th for a Firewise meeting 444 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,860 that we're gonna have up in Tuscany Hills. 445 00:33:29,220 --> 00:33:31,580 More details will be forthcoming, 446 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,880 but I'm looking forward to having Chief Sean Arnold 447 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,600 in Tuscany Hills to talk about 448 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,560 how we can put together a Firewise program, 449 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:48,880 which is a program that has been set up in the state to help harden houses and possibly reduce insurance rates. 450 00:33:49,460 --> 00:33:51,940 So looking forward to that, more information forthcoming. 451 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,220 And again, that will take place on Thursday, October 16th in Tuscany Hills. 452 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:05,620 And let me finally say congratulations to Assemblywoman Johnson on her election and her swearing in yesterday. 453 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,740 She's going to do great work for us in Sacramento, so congratulations. 454 00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:12,720 And with that, Mayor Tisdell, I say thank you. 455 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:13,960 Thank you, sir. 456 00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:15,300 Councilman Manos. 457 00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:17,040 Thank you, Honorable Mayor. 458 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,900 I have no slides this evening, but I will. 459 00:34:20,780 --> 00:34:22,160 I just, I do need to disclose. 460 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:27,240 I did attend the Southern California Association of Governments meeting, 461 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:28,040 monthly meeting. 462 00:34:28,180 --> 00:34:29,680 We were dark in August. 463 00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:31,940 We picked it back up here in September. 464 00:34:31,940 --> 00:34:37,280 It wasn't a whole lot specific to Lake Ellison or discussed. 465 00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:41,400 We had a long conversation about the upcoming Olympics. 466 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:48,660 There's some grant funding that was acquired from the state to and granted to MetroLink 467 00:34:48,660 --> 00:34:56,800 to go ahead and help with transportation to and from some folks who think that that's 468 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,980 probably going to run short of expectations and needs, 469 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,660 but we have a few more years to figure all that out, I guess. 470 00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:11,300 And also a discussion on how cities can make themselves 471 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,640 a viewing centers and whatnot, hubs for various 472 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,940 Olympic activities and events, not so much the games 473 00:35:20,940 --> 00:35:22,340 because those have all been assigned, 474 00:35:22,420 --> 00:35:24,000 mostly in the county of Los Angeles, 475 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:29,100 list despite Mayor Garcetti's previous comments saying that it was going to be a regional 476 00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:34,600 event. It's not so regional anymore and they're now offering viewing opportunities in different 477 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:42,040 places. So that's what we discussed in large part, some budget items, nothing too exciting. 478 00:35:43,020 --> 00:35:51,600 I'm going to close my comments tonight by expressing my extreme gratitude to Councilwoman 479 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:57,260 Johnson or now Assemblywoman Johnson for her service here in the city of Lake Elsinore. 480 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:06,140 We came on at the same time in 2012 and she has been a very positive force for the people 481 00:36:06,140 --> 00:36:07,480 here in Lake Elsinore. 482 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:13,280 And I do believe that she is going to carry that forward at the state capitol. 483 00:36:13,580 --> 00:36:17,680 My whole heartedly encourage her to go ahead and do her best. 484 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:23,700 It's going to be an uphill battle being in the super minority party, but if anyone's used 485 00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:26,960 to dealing with difficult situations, she certainly is. 486 00:36:27,580 --> 00:36:32,020 So I'm looking forward to her progress for years to come. 487 00:36:32,420 --> 00:36:34,060 This is a big deal for Lake Elsinore. 488 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:40,780 We have now had state representatives from our city represent us for almost over a decade. 489 00:36:41,060 --> 00:36:45,580 I have nearly two decades now with a short three-year absence here. 490 00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:46,620 This last three years. 491 00:36:46,620 --> 00:36:51,300 So it's nice to go ahead and get representation period in Sacramento again and 492 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:58,820 Here at home. We've got work to do and we certainly have an empty seat to either fill by appointment or by election 493 00:36:58,820 --> 00:37:01,880 We'll be talking about that in the next meeting and whatnot. So 494 00:37:02,740 --> 00:37:03,960 very good and 495 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,720 It's a good day. It's a good day. So with that, thank you for the time.

As you know, electric vehicles do not pay gas tax, so they do not help us expand 501 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,840 or maintain our freeway system. 502 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,740 So I expect a lively discussion at the commission meeting 503 00:37:45,740 --> 00:37:48,720 tomorrow, and I look forward to reporting back to you. 504 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,240 Next up, once again, speaking of driving, 505 00:37:53,020 --> 00:37:55,660 the San Diego chapter of the Sports Car Club of America 506 00:37:55,660 --> 00:37:58,840 will be holding a novice school here 507 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,600 at Diamond Stadium parking lot. 508 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,760 October the 4th, if you've ever wanted 509 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:10,540 to get professional instruction, now is your time. 510 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,880 Sign-ups begin this Friday. 511 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:19,360 Come on down and figure out what you can and can't do with your very own vehicle. 512 00:38:19,820 --> 00:38:24,920 Regular racing will return the following day on October the 5th. 513 00:38:25,700 --> 00:38:30,540 And lastly, Saturday the 27th. 514 00:38:30,540 --> 00:38:36,840 We will have the Freestyle Kings here at Diamond Stadium, led by Robbie Madison. 515 00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:45,300 Mr. Madison is known for his crazy motocross stunts, many of which he practices right here 516 00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:48,300 in our valley down at our very own motocross park. 517 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,860 So you will not be disappointed if you buy tickets and attend this event. 518 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,620 The last time we had something similar, I believe we had 10,000 people in attendance. 519 00:38:57,620 --> 00:39:04,780 So buy those tickets early. And with that, I thank you for your time and decorum this evening. 520 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:13,080 Thank you, sir. Just a couple of slides for tonight. First, though, as Councilman Manos mentioned, 521 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:21,400 on the next agenda, we will have an item to have a discussion on how we're going to replace 522 00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:26,440 Assemblywoman Johnson, and so that will be next agenda. 523 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,440 And then we'll go from there. 524 00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:32,680 First slide, please. 525 00:39:33,700 --> 00:39:36,760 So we had a meeting Monday at the Western Riverside Council Government. 526 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:42,720 The one item that we did that really sort of impacted us here was the five-year TUMP plan. 527 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:48,200 So we approved that, and this is how they decide how the money is going to be spent for our region 528 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,680 throughout the next five years and Lake Ellsner did very well and I want to thank Ramon and 529 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,520 his staff because they are always the ones that are making sure that all of our projects 530 00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:58,480 are pushed forward. 531 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:06,380 One of the other items that I briefed on was on June 12, 2025 President Trump signed 532 00:40:06,380 --> 00:40:09,640 in the law HJA Resolution 878889. 533 00:40:10,220 --> 00:40:15,300 This action revoked the California's authority to set its own vehicle emissions standards 534 00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:21,320 aiming at reducing air pollution and promoting zero emission vehicles which are stricter than the federal governments. 535 00:40:21,740 --> 00:40:27,400 So what does that mean? It means that the regulation would, that required all passenger cars, trucks, 536 00:40:27,620 --> 00:40:31,040 and SUVs to be sold in the state to be zero emission by 2035. 537 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:37,200 The action also would require manufacturers to sell an increasing percentage of zero emission vehicles, 538 00:40:37,820 --> 00:40:45,280 and then the low NOx regulation would establish stricter oxides of nitrogen engine emission standards 539 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:51,860 for off-road. So those things that the president did remove California's ability to do something 540 00:40:51,860 --> 00:40:59,380 higher than what the federal government does. So I don't know how folks take it, but I do 541 00:40:59,380 --> 00:41:03,320 know, and I use this joke that didn't go over very well, I said that people in Sacramento 542 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:09,400 went high into the left. Yeah, well, see, it didn't work here either. Sometimes it 543 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:15,180 takes a minute, you know. But again, there are some good things that California does, 544 00:41:15,540 --> 00:41:20,180 but for all these things that they propose with the Clean Air Acts and all these things, 545 00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:26,000 we have to be ready for it, and California's not ready for it. And so hopefully between 546 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,520 the President and what we do in California, we can come to some middle ground that makes 547 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:35,220 sense for all of the residents of California's, because some of these Clean Air Acts, they 548 00:41:35,220 --> 00:41:39,160 hurt our people that struggle the most in the state. They absolutely hurt them. 549 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:49,140 So anyway, next slide please. So this Saturday at 08.30 at Lowe's we are doing our emergency 550 00:41:49,140 --> 00:41:52,900 preparedness fair. So every year as part of emergency preparedness month we do a fair. 551 00:41:53,420 --> 00:41:57,560 So please come out and support. The city will be there.
