00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,360
record specialist and then you can feel

191
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,910
free to present these sar.

192
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,200
» All right, we got some really nice

193
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,880
things here that uh people have written.

194
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,399
But before we say that, I just want to

195
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:37,279
tell Blinda myself how much I appreciate

196
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:39,200
her because she is absolutely my go-to

197
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,880
person. Not just for records, but it

198
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,920
seems like for everything. I just say,

199
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,839
"Where's Blenda?" and things work out.

200
00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:46,320
So amazing communication skills. She

201
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,399
talks to everybody. She gets things done

202
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:49,519
and then lets you know that they're

203
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:52,480
done. She's responsive. Um, I was joking

204
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,000
with her earlier that it should be like

205
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,720
employee of the century because um, I

206
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,920
don't think employee of the quarter is

207
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,839
enough. But here we go. Um, I'm going to

208
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:00,959
read some of the nice things that people

209
00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:03,440
had to say. Blinda epitomizes what it

210
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,200
means to be a dedicated and hardworking

211
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,600
employee. Time and time again, she

212
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,600
demonstrated remarkable reliability,

213
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,800
consistently managing her

214
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,480
responsibilities with efficiency and

215
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,800
care. Her readiness to assist others no

216
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,399
matter the task highlights her team

217
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:18,480
first attitude and steadfast support for

218
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,480
her colleagues. In addition to her

219
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,720
impressive work ethic, Blinda excels in

220
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,720
communication. See, told you. She

221
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,399
ensures that information flows clearly

222
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:28,079
and effectively, fostering a cohesive

223
00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:29,600
work environment. Moreover, she

224
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,519
dedicates time to mentor and guide new

225
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:33,120
team members, helping them gain

226
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,560
confidence and competence in their

227
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,320
roles. We're truly fortunate to have her

228
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,548
as part of the Los Alamos team.

229
00:11:39,548 --> 00:11:45,360
[applause]

230
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,120
And I hope you're ready to hold a lot of

231
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,360
things. We have a certificate from the

232
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,000
city, certificate of recognition from

233
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,720
the county, Janet Nin, and from Tony

234
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,000
Strickland's office.

235
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,079
>> All right.

236
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:01,269
>> Here's

237
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:02,800
I got one.

238
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:10,790
>> I got the belt.

239
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,720
» And then you come and you stand on one

240
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:25,388
side and I'll stand on the other floor.

241
00:12:25,398 --> 00:12:34,150
» [applause]

242
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,079
» Next up,

243
00:12:36,079 --> 00:12:38,320
we have a part uh presentation of a

244
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,440
certificate to Diana Lada, the executive

245
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,959
director of Food Finders in recognition

246
00:12:42,959 --> 00:12:44,240
of being featured in the mayor's

247
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,320
business spotlight. So, if I can invite

248
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,519
Miss Diana to come on down.

249
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:56,710
Come on. Well, clap. We can clap.

250
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,800
Okay. Now, they write a lot of stuff

251
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,040
that I'm supposed to say, but I can

252
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,200
never completely articulate or

253
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,440
encapsulate the beauty of the work that

254
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,519
the business actually does. So, what I

255
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:09,920
will say is this is the city's way of

256
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,000
trying to give back a small portion to

257
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,519
our businesses. We want to highlight

258
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:15,440
you. We want to celebrate you. We want

259
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,440
to encourage and edify you and tell the

260
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,200
world about you. But no one would do

261
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,120
that better than you. So, they've got

262
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,399
this little video queued up. We're going

263
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:23,839
to let the video play and then I want

264
00:13:23,839 --> 00:13:25,279
you to kind of share with our audience a

265
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:29,040
little bit about what these five.

266
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:42,870
All right, Miss Wendy.

267
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:51,030
Spotlight

268
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,240
37 years

269
00:13:54,240 --> 00:14:09,110
from local business

270
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,120
innovation

271
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,639
is proving

272
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:15,279
active

274
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:27,910
at a time

275
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,360
and we will have the full version of

276
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,199
that available on our website and then

277
00:14:31,199 --> 00:14:32,720
we will also send it over to you so that

278
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,639
you can push it out. And while I go and

279
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:36,880
get your certificate because I don't see

280
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,560

281
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,269

Mayor Dolby, to spotlight Food Finders

284
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,040
and our relationship. Um, we have a very

285
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,120
long-standing connection with Los

286
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,880
Alamidos.

287
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,560
Um, we have 11 donors that we pick up

288
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,800
from here in Los Alamos and we give to

289
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,720
five nonprofit agencies. Kasa started in

290
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,279
1990, just a year after we opened our

291
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:10,399
doors and then um Precious Life started

292
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:13,519
two years later. So very long-standing

293
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:16,160
relationship. We are a nonprofit food

294
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,160
rescue, but we do so much more than

295
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,880
that. We have a food for kids program

296
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,600
which provides uh weekend mailboxes to

297
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,680
47 Long Beach Unified School District

298
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,519
schools. We have our only uh direct

00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,839
our community marketplace and that's at

301
00:15:33,839 --> 00:15:35,680
Admiral Kid Park and that's the fourth

302
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,440
Saturday of each month and we're serving

303
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680
500 families and that's growing every

304
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,920
month. Then our last program is our

305
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,560
backyard harvest which recovers produce

306
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,480
from local homes throughout the

307
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,519
surrounding cities. So I again I'd like

308
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:51,680
to thank Mayor Dolby and her staff for

309
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,440
this opportunity. They made it a lot of

310
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,240
fun and um thank you so much for the

311
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,575
support.

312
00:15:59,585 --> 00:16:03,030
[applause]

313
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,680

315
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,600
of Los Alamos. Thank you food finders.

316
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,000
And we have a certificate from our

317
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,320

320
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:22,800
>> Thank you so much. And then you want the

321
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,030
backdrop or you'll

00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:54,629
take one picture.

323
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:56,800
All right. Next up, we have a

Christina from the space program manager

326
00:17:01,199 --> 00:17:03,120
of Arrowhead Products. So, can I get

327
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,396
Miss Christina to come on down?

328
00:17:06,396 --> 00:17:11,270
[applause]

329
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,640
All right. So, I think this might be the

330
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,000
first time I've ever remembered y'all

331
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,439
coming into my chamber. So, I'm going to

332
00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:17,360
read what they said about you. Okay. Is

333
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:20,000
that okay with you? Okay. So, the city

334
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,679
council of the city of Los Alamos would

335
00:17:21,679 --> 00:17:23,520
like to recognize arrowhead products for

336
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,240
their meaningful impact on our nation

337
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,079
through the advanced national security

338
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:31,200
and space exploration. Los Alamos may be

339
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,200
just two square miles, but big things

340
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,280
are happening here. Companies like

341
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,039

and space exploration efforts, proving

345
00:17:43,679 --> 00:17:46,160
that innovation can thrive in our small

346
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,760
community.

347
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,200
So tonight, it's my privilege to

348
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,880
recognize one of the people helping to

349
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,520
make that possible, Miss Christina. And

350
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,720
I'm not gonna butcher your name.

351
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:55,520

369
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,679
years. I started off as a one-day temp.

370
00:18:39,679 --> 00:18:43,039

for a few more weeks, then was offered a

373
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,679
full-time job. Um worked my way through

374
00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:52,000
the company. I've had amazing mentors

375
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,840
and bosses at Arrowhead Products. I

376
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,000
can't say enough. It's a large business,

377
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,520
but it has that kind of small business

378
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,080
feel to it because we're so connected

379
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,720
with what we do. Um we support defense,

380
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,360
we support commercial aviation, and then

381
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:06,880
I was fortunate enough to kind of get

382
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,919
kidnapped over to our plant group for

383
00:19:09,919 --> 00:19:12,559
space and I am proud to be the program

384
00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:14,960
manager for space launch system which is

385
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,440
the four stage of Artemis. Um if you

386
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,840
guys drive down Cella you see the signs.

387
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,480
We started off with Saturn and we're now

388
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,360
on Artemis. I love what I do and I love

389
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:27,520
the city. I mean growing up here I never

390
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,640
thought I'd come back but yeah it's a

391
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:36,383
great city to live in.

392
00:19:36,393 --> 00:19:40,150
» [applause]

393
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,600
» Well, no, no, you I'm looking past you.

394
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:42,960
I know. I'm sorry. I just been smiling

395
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,320
at you, grinning and grinning and I'm

396
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,400
grinning at this rascal

397
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,559
>> because it's not often that we actually

398
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:50,320
have someone that's representing one of

399
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,480
the certificates. So, I'm going to have

400
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,600
you present for uh Yobos.

401
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,120
And so, this beauty is from the city of

402
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:02,240
Los Al.

403
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,840
Thank you. Thank you. And then

404
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,679
Hello, my name is Michelle Shutes. I'm

405
00:20:07,679 --> 00:20:09,760
here representing Assemblyman Triita.

406
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,679
Thank you to the city council and mayor

407
00:20:11,679 --> 00:20:14,799
for allowing us here to um to give this

408
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:16,400
to you. I'm really sorry because my

409
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,314
shirt, I guess, didn't arrive.

410
00:20:18,314 --> 00:20:19,919
[laughter] I know it's the postal

411
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:22,720
service, so I apologize, but um I was

412
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,720
reading over everything that we were

413
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,960
given from Chelsea about your career and

414
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,559
everything you've done in the community.

415
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:30,000
And then you walk up here and I'm like,

416
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,919
she cannot be this young. [laughter] So,

417
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:34,000
you've done a lot and and we really

418
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,440
appreciate it. We're so honored to have

419
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,600
you in our district. Again, these are

420
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,360
amazing accomplishments. Um, we're happy

421
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:40,480
to have you here and we want to just

422
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,120
thank you.

423
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:44,320
>> Thank you so much. No,

424
00:20:44,320 --> 00:21:00,470
so honored.

425
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,840
There's more.

426
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,760
>> 30 years deserves a little bit more than

427
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,919
just a couple presentations.

428
00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:10,159
Uh 30 years, that's a lot of loyalty and

429
00:21:10,159 --> 00:21:11,919
dedication. Very impressive.

430
00:21:11,919 --> 00:21:14,720
Congratulations. Uh here I have a

431
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,400

[applause]

447
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,400
So, I don't happen to have anybody here

448
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,880
from Janet's office, do I? No. Okay.

449
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,760
Very good. So, on behalf of Supervisor

450
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,000
Janet Win, Oh, we're loading you down.

451
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,400
This is 30 years in the in the making

452
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,400
here, friend. This is a resolution from

453
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,960
her office as a thank you. So, um,

454
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:21,270
>> she taking pictures.

455
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:41,510
Yes, it's your city, too.

456
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,335
» Thank you everybody. Thank you so much.

457
00:22:46,345 --> 00:22:54,390
[applause]

458
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,720
What does the script tell me to do next?

459
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,799
All right. Oh, script says, and I I'm

460
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:02,480
still staying up here. Okay. So, we have

461
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,159
a presentation of a proclamation to

462
00:23:04,159 --> 00:23:06,320
Craig CVY.

463
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,000
He's our division chief of the Orange

464
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,679
County Fire Authority in recognition of

465
00:23:09,679 --> 00:23:12,240
drowning prevention awareness. Chief

466
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,919
Cubby, come on down. Come on down. Come

467
00:23:13,919 --> 00:23:17,510
on down.

468
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,440
Okay. So, you've got a presentation. So,

469
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,720
you present first. I'll present after

470
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,320
you and we take a picture.

471
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:28,070
>> Okay. Let's do it.

472
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,640
» All right. Thank you, mayor, council,

473
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,960
city staff, most importantly, residents.

474
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,840
So, it's that time of year again, and uh

475
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,000
tonight's presentation, for once, I'm

476
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,919
going to talk about something good and

477
00:23:39,919 --> 00:23:42,400
then also something not so good. But

478
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,840
those are cliffhers to keep your

479
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,440
attention. So, you have to stay through

480
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,200
it. Okay. So, we're talking about water

481
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,280
safety. Uh it's that annual time of year

482
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,720
where everyone's in the pools, in the

483
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,559
oceans, and stuff like that. And it's

484
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:54,320
that tragic time of year where we're not

485
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,480
paying attention and our our kids and

486
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,400
our family members are drowning. So,

487
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,200
there's two kind of uh drownings here.

488
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,799
Obviously, there's fatal and nonfatal.

489
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:06,880
Uh but when you hear that non-fatal is something you need to understand. For

490
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,280
every drowning, there's five incidents

491
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,760
where someone didn't drown and die. But

492
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,360
in those five incidents, many of them

493
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:16,159
are gravely disabled. So it's it's more

494
00:24:16,159 --> 00:24:17,600
to it than when you hear that five to

495
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,480
one ratio. So when you talk about

496
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,320
drowning, you can see all the casual

497
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,320
factors here for risk factors. But

498
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,640
understand that 90% of the parents say

499
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,279
that 50 or 90% of the parents say that

500
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:30,880
their child will be near the water this

501
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,799
summer, but less than half of them

502
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:35,360
actually know how to swim. That's that's

503
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:37,120
unacceptable when it's something that is

504
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:38,351
so preventable.

505
00:24:38,351 --> 00:24:38,640
>> [snorts]

506
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,080
>> 10 people die each day due to unintended

507
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,840
drownings.

508
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,640
So in 2025 stats, this is where we start

509
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,600
doing something maybe positive. Okay, so

510
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,080
you can see the stats here in 2025 what

511
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,640
we tracked last year. Uh the key to it,

512
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,720
you'll see that it's surprising as you

513
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,400
would expect many of these children that

514
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,240
are drowning are under the age of four.

515
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,080
Uh 28 or 38 of those. But what's even

516
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,720
more surprising, we had 41 over the age

517
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,840
of 35 drown last year. So, it's not just

518
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,840
the kids. We have to pay attention to

519
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,480
everybody that's in the water. This is

520
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,400
where the good news comes in. If you

521
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,640
look at our 10-year tracking, we went

522
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,120
down 15% and at a 10-year low. That's a

523
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:25,120
positive, and we want to celebrate that.

524
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:26,720
Hopefully, this message is getting out

525
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,960
there, but 95 drownings is still too

526
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,279
many, unacceptable,

527
00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:35,600
quite honestly. And um we have to keep

528
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,240
working on making it better. We should

529
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,232
get this down to zero. It's preventable.

530
00:25:41,232 --> 00:25:42,880
[snorts] So where does these happen? As

531
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,880
you would expect, the community pools,

532
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,360
the uh back backyard pools and the

533
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:50,640
oceans are our primary places and the

534
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,960
number one distraction or number one

535
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,880
factor here. You'll see labs in

536
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,520
supervision. That is the number one

537
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,000
issue and that's someone not watching

538
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,159
our people on the water. distractions

539
00:26:02,159 --> 00:26:04,080
whether on their phone or they have

540
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,559
other things that are creating them not

541
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:08,320
to be paying attention to the children

542
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,880
and everything going on or whoever's in

543
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,320
the water as I said because it's not

544
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,679
just kids in 2025 in my division in the

545
00:26:15,679 --> 00:26:18,400
four cities that we serve uh I serve or

546
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,039
I supervise we had three in Garden Grove

547
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:22,799
we had two in Westminster we had one in

548
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:24,320
Seal Beach and unfortunately we did have

549
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,880
one drowning in Los Alamos

550
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,600
so for 2026

551
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,799
as we go into here Um, we've already off

552
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:34,559
to a banger start and it's really

553
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:36,400
unfortunate. This stat is a little bit

554
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,600
old with 28 drownings already or 35 uh

555
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,279
drownings already year to date with 11

556
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:44,159
fatalities. In that is the tragic news.

557
00:26:44,159 --> 00:26:46,240
We had a child in Garden Grove 2 years

558
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,799
old drown in a koi pond. That's all it

559
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:51,760
takes. Small amount of water, top heavy

560
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,760
child and fell in. It doesn't have to be

561
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,240
a pool. It can be a bucket. It can be a a

562
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,080
bathtub. It can be many things. And we

563
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,159
also had a 40-year-old woman drowned

564
00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:04,480
about two weeks ago.

565
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,559
Again, both ends of those spectrums

566
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:08,799
captured in my division alone last this

567
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:11,840
last couple months. [snorts]

568
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,240
So time is the important factor when we

569
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,320
all know how how long it takes for

570
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,679
people to start having brain damage.

571
00:27:17,679 --> 00:27:20,000
It's really quick and how it affects.

572
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,480
But the key here is if you have water

573
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,320
around your house and you have someone

574
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,400
missing, the first thing you do is check

575
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,960
that water. Go look there. rule that out

576
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,320
first and then go find them.

577
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,080
So, how do we prevent this? This is the

578
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,919
key to this whole conversation. There's

579
00:27:35,919 --> 00:27:38,880
the ABCs of water safety. Active

580
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,559
supervision, not distracted barriers and

581
00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:44,960
classes. Learn how to swim. So, going

582
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,279
into that active supervision, assign

583
00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:48,880
somebody to watch the water at all

584
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,960
times. Never swim alone and make sure

585
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,640
they're not distracted. It's not fair

586
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,000
for someone to spend their whole day

587
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,080
watching the water. Rotate them. prevent

588
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,960
that fatigue of watching and have them

589
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,880
doing something else. So, but whoever's

590
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,120
doing it is in charge of the safety of

591
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:05,039
our most prized possessions. That's our

592
00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:07,120
family members and our children.

593
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:08,640
Barriers

594
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,120
2017 safety pool act requires two of

595
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:13,600
seven barriers to that are out there

596
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,679
readily available at least two of them

597
00:28:15,679 --> 00:28:17,200
to be there and I am going to read those

598
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,520
for the for the audience. An enclosure

599
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,520
that isolates the pool or spa from the

600
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,240
home. Two, removable mesh fentching in

601
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,760
conjunction with a self-latching

602
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,880
self-closing gate. Three, an approved

603
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,279
safety cover. Four, exit alarms in the

604
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:33,039
home. Five, a self-closing,

605
00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:35,120
self-latching device with a release

606
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,559
mechanism at least 54 in above the floor

607
00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:41,120
of the home. Six, an alarm placed on a

608
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,120
pool or spa. Seven, other means of

609
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,720
protection to determine. There's a lot

610
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,720
of new tech technologies out there that

611
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,559
fall under number seven uh that are

612
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:50,399
becoming more commonplace especially

613
00:28:50,399 --> 00:28:53,679
through AI and other technic uh [snorts]

614
00:28:53,679 --> 00:28:56,960
sorry other options that will provide a

615
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,760
more significant level of announcement

616
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,000
that someone is near that pool uh

617
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,799
through all the technologies. So C is

618
00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:07,279
the uh obvious one is classes learn how

619
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:09,760
to swim. It's it's the number one of

620
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,640
prevail drownings but not the number one

621
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,640
guarantee. Many of the people that are

622
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,880
drowning do know how to swim uh but

623
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,200
they're drowning for other reasons. And

624
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,799
there's [snorts] no such thing as a safe

625
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:22,720
pool. If you look at all those stats,

626
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,120
it's pretty pretty amazing when you

627
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,440
think about pools are most attractive

628
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,520
thing to go do during the summer, but

629
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,120
yet one of the most dangerous things we

630
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,720
have around our house. There's no such

631
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440
thing as a safe water. When you see

632
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,919
someone that's 4 and 1/2 ft deep, water

633
00:29:37,919 --> 00:29:39,440
4 and 1/2 ft deep, you're thinking

634
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,039
that's not very deep. But the average

635
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:43,440
kid 12 and under are under 4 and 1/2 ft

636
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,360
tall and they are susceptible to

637
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,830
drowning.

638
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,520
Drain safety is something you can't

639
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,039
overlook. Um there's the ability for

640
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:56,559
someone to get entangled in the bottom

641
00:29:56,559 --> 00:29:58,640
of the pool in a drain is is very

642
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,559
plausible if the right cover is not

643
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:02,720
being used. So the important factor of

644
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,520
this is know where to turn that off. If

645
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,960
someone gets trapped in there, it's the

646
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,799
first thing you do is turn it off and

647
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:11,520
then you go rescue them. Flotation

648
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,600
devices. Flotation devices. Flotation

649
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,240
devices equal love. If you don't ought

650
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,720
to swim, have a flotation device on. It

651
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,840
doesn't mean that they can be

652
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,279
unsupervised, but at least you're

653
00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:22,960
providing some sort of protection to

654
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,279
them. Like I talked about those other

655
00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:27,520
water sources, bathtubs, open water,

656
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,600
boating, and all that. Uh, as

657
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,520
California, we have a lot of waterways

658
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,360
and a lot of people out on the water.

659
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,600
79% of the boating deaths are due to

660
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,720
drowning and 85% of them did not have

661
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,279
life jackets on. We ranked third in the

662
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:43,039
United States with the highest number of

663
00:30:43,039 --> 00:30:45,440
boating deaths and second with the most

664
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,039
number of boating accidents. And you can

665
00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:48,720
guess what the most casual factor on

666
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,320
that is alcohol and boating. [snorts]

667
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,039
Drowning myths. you you see the TV,

668
00:30:55,039 --> 00:30:56,640
everyone's screaming for the lifeguard

669
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,919
to help them and all that, but the

670
00:30:57,919 --> 00:31:01,360
reality is a quiet, silent drowning. Uh

671
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,960
you don't hear them. They're gasping.

672
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,960
They're got their mouth just above the

673
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,159
water. Those are the clues you're

674
00:31:06,159 --> 00:31:08,320
looking at that someone is struggling in

675
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,240
the water. And as we close this out,

676
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,480
here's the top 10 water safety tips. And

677
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,559
the ones I want to emphasize here is

678
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:17,200
never swim alone, supervise, supervise,

679
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,399
undistracted supervision, and u be aware

680
00:31:20,399 --> 00:31:22,960
of the hazards around the pools.

681
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,880
So again, just a last reminder, it's

682
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,679
fast, it's silent, and it's 100%

683
00:31:27,679 --> 00:31:29,840
preventable. Just because you can swim

684
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,520
doesn't mean you can't sink. So there's

685
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,600
more information available at ocfa.org

686
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,240
if anybody wants to dive into this more,

687
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,440
all pun intended, and uh and the city

688
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,679
can support you with their social media

689
00:31:41,679 --> 00:31:43,200
and everything as well. So thank you

690
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,071
very much.

691
00:31:46,071 --> 00:31:49,430
[applause]

692
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,480
» You stay. So, I know I give you a hard

693
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,000
time about coming to make that

694
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,760
presentation, but thank you for sobering

695
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,240
us because I I do know how quickly it

696
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,320
can happen. So, thank you very much.

697
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,840
I love it when he comes. But some of

698
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,440
these presentations, buddy, I tell you

699
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,279
what, I just had to make sure there was

700
00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:08,720
Oh,

701
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,950
>> come back Strickland's office.

702
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,840
But on behalf of our city and our good

703
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,760
folks here, I would like to present you

704
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,760
this proclamation because um this year's

705
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,440
drowning prevention and awareness is

706
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,080
observed May through August 2026 and

707
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,399
this year's safety campaign is always

708
00:32:28,399 --> 00:32:31,919
watch the water and never swim alone. It

709
00:32:31,919 --> 00:32:33,440
gives in-depth information that will be

710
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,039
provided by staff on what Orange County

711
00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:36,799
residents can do to prevent drowning. So

712
00:32:36,799 --> 00:32:39,279
that is what you just gave us. you are

713
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:42,159
so appreciated and um you are up next

714
00:32:42,159 --> 00:32:45,830
Monday.

715
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,600
» On behalf of California State Senator

716
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,039
Tony Strickland, we just wanted to say

717
00:32:49,039 --> 00:32:50,320
thank you for all that you do. Thank you

718
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,960
for advocating and um we appreciate all

719
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,399
of the messages that you give to the

720
00:32:54,399 --> 00:32:56,480
community and we know that uh a lot of

721
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,679
them are um informative and or all of

722
00:32:59,679 --> 00:33:01,679
them are informative and uh really

723
00:33:01,679 --> 00:33:03,200
important especially during these summer

724
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:35,190
months. So, thank you.

725
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,000
So, we're going to post it.

726
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:59,590
people who

727
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,279
magic agenda say next.

728
00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:07,360
Okay, looks like skipping G. Okay. Gonna

729
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,359
move on to H, which is a presentation of

730
00:34:09,359 --> 00:34:11,919
a proclamation for America's 250th

731
00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:14,000
anniversary. This one's funny because

732
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,119
I'm making a presentation, but I'm

733
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:16,320
making it to us, so I'm making it to

734
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,760
myself. So, uh, Chad, come down. I'm

735
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,599
going to make it to you.

736
00:34:21,599 --> 00:34:23,599
>> So, the city of Los Alamos is proudly

737
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:24,960
joining communities across the nation

738
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,839
and recognizing America's 250th

739
00:34:27,839 --> 00:34:30,079
anniversary. Our celebration is already

740
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:31,839
in full swing. City Hall and the Council

741
00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:33,679
Chamber have been transformed with

742
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:35,839
vibrant America 250 decorations. Y'all

743
00:34:35,839 --> 00:34:36,639
see it?

744
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:38,560
>> It's all outside. We're the best looking

745
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,720
city. Our staff is sporting

746
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:42,079
commemorative shirts. Take a look

747
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:44,639
around. We're all wearing them. Twinsies

748
00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:46,159
across the board. Our staff is

749
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:48,879
supporting the shirts and new America

750
00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:51,359
250 flag now stands prominently as a

751
00:34:51,359 --> 00:34:54,079
symbol of unity and patriotism. We

752
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:55,760
kicked off our festivities with an

753
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,320
unforgettable America 250 summer concert

754
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,640
block party on June 25th. If you missed

755
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,440
it, you missed it. We brought music,

756
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,720
neighbors, and community spirit

757
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:07,280
together. Celebration continued with our

758
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,119
beloved 3rd of July fireworks

759
00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:11,200
spectacular. We lit up the sky in honor

760
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,200
of this historic milestone. And we're

761
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,760
not done yet. Los Alamito will be

762
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,440
proudly recognizing our nation's freedom

763
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,520
again during Celebrate Los on September

764
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,359

775
00:35:53,664 --> 00:35:54,800

824
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,320
Our mission here is to connect

organizations meet their ordinary

844
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,359
necessary financial obligations that

845
00:39:49,359 --> 00:39:51,359
cannot be met as a result of the hazmat

846
00:39:51,359 --> 00:39:53,839

assist through the recovery period.

848
00:39:56,079 --> 00:39:57,839
There are many ways that businesses

849
00:39:57,839 --> 00:39:59,680
could have been affected. their regular

850
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,240
clients may have been in that disaster

851
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:04,400
area and they weren't able to get to

852
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,119
those businesses at that time. Uh they

853
00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:09,359
may get products from businesses in that

854
00:40:09,359 --> 00:40:11,119
area and because of the closure they

855
00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:12,800
could not get business or get their

856
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,079
products any longer. Um

857
00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:18,079
their businesses may service that area

858
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:19,599
and they couldn't go into that area

859
00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:22,079
because of the shutdown

860
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:23,520
and they couldn't do their jobs because

861
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,839
of that evacuation. that was a holiday

862
00:40:25,839 --> 00:40:27,920
weekend and possibly some of their

863
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,240
clients may have canceled their plans uh

864
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:32,960
to come out to the area during that time

865
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,000
and uh they may have suffered that

866
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,320
economic injury. Businesses should not

867
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,560
hesitate to reach out to see if they may

868
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,960
qualify. There's no obligation to accept

869
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,960
those funds. The Small Business

870
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,960
Administration has set up a business

871
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,880
recovery center where business

872
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,040
representatives can go and meet with our

873
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,119
customer service representatives to walk

874
00:40:53,119 --> 00:40:55,839
them through that process of applying.

875
00:40:55,839 --> 00:40:58,240
The business recovery center is located

876
00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:00,560
on the first floor of the Uklid office

877
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,240
building and that's at 12966

878
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:06,560
Uklid Street in the city of Garden

879
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,040
Grove. The hours are Monday through

880
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,920
Friday 9:00 a.m. to 6 pm and there is no

881
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,079
appointment needed. However, if you do

882
00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:16,079
want to make an appointment, you can go

883
00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:23,109

884
00:41:23,119 --> 00:41:23,839
Again, that's

885
00:41:23,839 --> 00:41:29,510
appointment.sba.govscchedu.

886
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,720
We also have an amazing mobile recovery

887
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:35,520
vehicle that is here in California and

888
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,480
we can bring that to any location. It is

889
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,599
a self-contained center that has power.

890
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:43,599
It has internet. It comes with customer

891
00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:45,920
service representatives and computers so

892
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,599
that the business owners can go there

893
00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:49,920
and they can uh start that application

894
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,480
process right there at any location. So,

895
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,119
if you have a location that would allow

896
00:41:55,119 --> 00:41:57,440
us to come and park our MRV there, we

897
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,000
would love to talk to you. Businesses

898
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,440
can also apply online at sba.govdesaster

899
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,470

and they can call the customer service

901
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:14,470
line at 1-8006592955.

902
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,560
Businesses may not know that they have

903
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,040
been affected until their next financial

904
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,920

00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,200

Powers and Maria Theresa Diaz.

925
00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:21,990
>> Come on down

926
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:28,630
from St. Isidor's Historical Plaza.

927
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,515
gonna hold this up on the side.

928
00:43:31,515 --> 00:43:32,960
[laughter] Hello. Thank you so much for

929
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,560
having us. We appreciate it. We were

930
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,480
here a couple months ago advertising for

931
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,520
our centennial, our hundth anniversary.

932
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,520
Uh we had the festival. Thank you very

933
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,359
much for those of you who came. A lot of

934
00:43:43,359 --> 00:43:44,960
nonprofit booths and small business

935
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,599
booths. It was a fabulous day. Now,

936
00:43:47,599 --> 00:43:49,119
we're here because we're doing something

937
00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:50,960
a little bit more formal to celebrate

938
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,640
our centennial. Hence our gar today. We

939
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:55,750
wanted to be a little sparkly.

940
00:43:55,750 --> 00:43:56,480
[laughter]

941
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,720
This is going to be an an evening of

942
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:01,200
fun. We've got a happy hour live music

943
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,920
performance. We have an opera singer for

944
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,240
our dinner prelude and then we have a

945
00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:07,920
live band after that. So, we're hoping

946
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,920
that all of you can make it. You should

947
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,079
already have in your postal mail. Each

948
00:44:12,079 --> 00:44:13,440
one of you should have received an

949
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,839
invitation. We also left some flyers

950
00:44:15,839 --> 00:44:18,960
here and a poster and uh and because

951
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,800
she's the heart, she'll explain who we

952
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,119
are and I'm the business. I like to say

953
00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:25,280
that all of you are in businesses and we

954
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,200
would love it and be honored and pleased

955
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:28,560
if you would take a look at the

956
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,160
sponsorship opportunities that we have

957
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,760
available. I think they're very

958
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,520
affordable. We're trying something new

959
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,440
in our organization and so they're not

960
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,240
as high as maybe you might think.

961
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:41,829
Maria Teresa,

962
00:44:41,839 --> 00:44:45,520
» Madame Mayor, you said come on down and

963
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,400
I'm saying right right now come on down

964
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,400
to our place. This is from 1999. We

965
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,680
saved a place and made it historical.

966
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,920
And that means a lot to me. I've been

967
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:02,640
there for 51 years. And um the history

968
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,599
is fantastic and is the only historical

969
00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:08,400
site in Los Alamitos for goodness sakes.

970
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,400
You know, we want to celebrate a hundred

971
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,960
years of it. And I thank you very much

972
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,160
for whatever participation you have with

973
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:22,856
this with us. Thank you very much.

974
00:45:22,866 --> 00:45:25,589
» [applause]

975
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:28,000
» As I look out into the audience, is

976
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,560
there anyone else that would like to

977
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:37,266
>> come and speak?

978
00:45:37,276 --> 00:45:39,349
[laughter]

979
00:45:39,359 --> 00:45:40,640
That's what you get for being out in the

980
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,520
audience. Alrighty. Well, then we will

981
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,240
go ahead and close oral communications

982
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:49,200
and we'll move on to updates from the

983
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,720
mayor. Um, I have a few things that I

984
00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:56,319
would like to share.

985
00:45:56,319 --> 00:45:58,000
Oh, I got to do these ones first. All

986
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,680

Alamito Recreation and Community

1000
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,119
Services info. If y'all gonna want me to

1001
00:46:31,119 --> 00:46:32,880
read this, we got to shorten this. Like,

1002
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,720
let me get an acronym or something. We

1003
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:36,319
will have an info booth and family fun

1004
00:46:36,319 --> 00:46:39,040
activities provided by the Loal wreck on

1005
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,839
the go. Second set of our four concerts

1006
00:46:41,839 --> 00:46:43,599

1007
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:46,000
alternate between Little Cottonwood Park

1008
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,880
and Orville Lewis Park. These concerts

1012
00:46:55,839 --> 00:46:57,839
will also have various food vendors and

1013
00:46:57,839 --> 00:47:00,960
merchant booths. Do not miss out on some

1014
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,040
great music with our community on a warm

1015
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,880
summer evening at a park near you.

1016
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,599
Um they put up this mayor's ball that

1017
00:47:09,599 --> 00:47:12,800
will be Saturday, August 22nd. And it's

1018
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,240
basically to help fund a project through

1019
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:19,839
the Los Alamito Community Foundation. I

1020
00:47:19,839 --> 00:47:22,000
need an acronym for that, too. And the

1021
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,920
senior meals on wheels program. So, it's

1022
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,920
a fantastic event, but the mission for

1023
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,280
it is even fantastic. So come on out and

1024
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,440
have a good time. And then the Los

1038
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,040
information,

1039
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,760
jump on down to lossal

1040
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,430
businessalliance.org

1041
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,880
and then I got a couple more things um

1042
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,040
that I would like to make a request on.

1043
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,839
First, well, I want to share. I took a

1044
00:48:15,839 --> 00:48:18,800
ride in our Lost Link and it's a ride

1045
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,000
share. Like I know that it's a ride

1046
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,440
share, but then I didn't anticipate that

1047
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,359
I would share the ride. But it was cool

1048
00:48:23,359 --> 00:48:25,359
that I did because I was in a car with

1049
00:48:25,359 --> 00:48:27,440
Miss Phyllis and Mr. Walken and their

1050
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,559
driver Michelle and I was able to ask

1051
00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:32,960
this adorable couple like, "How do you

1052
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,319
like the link? What do you think?" And

1053
00:48:36,319 --> 00:48:38,400
she's like, "Oh, it's so wonderful

1054
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:39,920
because the driver, Michelle, she was

1055
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,119
really patient. You know, we had

1056
00:48:41,119 --> 00:48:42,160
something happened right when she

1057
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,400
arrived and she had to wait for us. I

1058
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:45,599
think they'll wait like five minutes

1059
00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:47,280
before they drive off. So, I'm assuming

1060
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:48,720
that she had to wait a little longer."

1061
00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:50,720
and she was very gentle with them and

1062
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:53,119
explained that um she told them how to

1063
00:48:53,119 --> 00:48:55,359
put a little note in reserving the

1064
00:48:55,359 --> 00:48:56,720
vehicle so that they wouldn't have to

1065
00:48:56,720 --> 00:48:59,280
get the big vans because they have a

1066
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,599
walker but it's a tiny walker so it fits

1067
00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:03,359
in our little hatchback. And she was

1068
00:49:03,359 --> 00:49:04,480
like, "Oh, it was just so wonderful.

1069
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,319
Miss Michelle just took such good care

1070
00:49:06,319 --> 00:49:07,760
of us." And she's like, "And I really

1071
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,160
want the city to know."

1072
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,480
I said, "Well, tell me more. I'll I'll

1073
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,400
tell the city. You tell me. I'll make

1074
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,640
sure I tell the city." But just to know

1075
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,520
that this program is

1076
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,920
doing such amazing things and making

1077
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,680
such a beautiful impact and our

1078
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,839
residents are loving it. They're so

1079
00:49:25,839 --> 00:49:28,559
appreciative. They were so happy to be

1080
00:49:28,559 --> 00:49:31,760
shuttled as was I. And it's free all

1081
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,240
summer to anybody. You just dial them

1082
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:36,160
up. Takes about five minutes for them to

1083
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:37,280
show up. They'll take you anywhere in

1084
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,040
our geoence.

1085
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:43,200
Um, then I would like to

1086
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,079
get an update on and I'm changing gears

1087
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,119
for our unhoused individuals. I would

1088
00:49:49,119 --> 00:49:50,880
like to see if we what program

1089
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,040
activities, partnerships, and I'm not

1090
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:54,640
looking for an answer today. I'm looking

1091
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,119
to throw this on people's radars so that

1092
00:49:57,119 --> 00:50:00,559
we can have it at top of mind. Uh, what

1093
00:50:00,559 --> 00:50:02,240
our outreach efforts, measurable

1094
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:04,160
outcomes, LA28 is right around the

1095
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,640
corner. I would like to be proactive in

1096
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,119
preparing for uh what is little more

1097
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:10,720
than potential increases in the number

1098
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:14,720
of the unhoused individuals that will be

1099
00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:17,200
arriving in our different jurisdictions.

1100
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,680
So, uh what are some of the programs and

1101
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,119
things that we'll have in place to

1102
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:24,640
address these challenges which are I'm

1103
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,640
so sure. So, I mean and it's something

1104
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,319
that we're talking about across the

1105
00:50:28,319 --> 00:50:30,319
county. You know, my mayor friends were

1106
00:50:30,319 --> 00:50:31,760
all trying to figure out how are we

1107
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,960
going to tackle this? So, I want it to

1108
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,720
be top of mind and I see you've pulled

1109
00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:38,240
your mic up so if you got something I'll

1110
00:50:38,240 --> 00:50:40,079
take it but there's no pressure.

1111
00:50:40,079 --> 00:50:41,280
>> I was just going to say madame mayor

1112
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,119
that this has been a topic of discussion

1113
00:50:43,119 --> 00:50:45,520
amongst all of the north county spa or

1114
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,079
the north county service group areas

1115
00:50:48,079 --> 00:50:50,720
that we're a part of and uh yes the the

1116
00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:52,400
chief and I will be prepared to bring

1117
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,960
back some I'll say uh some efforts that

1118
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,480
are being undertaken with regards to

1119
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,319
training but also the way that we deploy

1120
00:50:58,319 --> 00:50:59,920
our teams out in the streets in order to

1121
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:01,359
make sure that we're making appropriate

1122
00:51:01,359 --> 00:51:02,160
contact.

1123
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:03,920
>> Okay. And I'm assuming that it will be

1124
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,839
some connect tissue to our um business

1125
00:51:07,839 --> 00:51:09,280
watch. Okay.

1126
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:09,760
>> Of course.

1127
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,760
>> And our neighborhood watch. Okay. And

1128
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,800
then I'm going to pivot to ebikes

1129
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,960
because I recently attended our PD's

1130
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,640
community forum where ebike issues were

1131
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,280
a major topic of discussion. And then I

1132
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:22,880
also recently spoke with a Huntington

1133
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,319
Beach council member who shared the

1134
00:51:24,319 --> 00:51:26,480
steps that their city is taking. So

1135
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,079
Huntington Beach provides education to

1136
00:51:28,079 --> 00:51:29,760
middle school students similar to our

1137
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,839
current efforts. But then they also

1138
00:51:31,839 --> 00:51:33,920
offer several additional components that

1139
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,520
I think would benefit our community as

1140
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,520
well. So I would like for us to explore

1141
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,839
whether our city can partner with um Sil

1142
00:51:39,839 --> 00:51:42,000
Beach and our school district UCI

1143
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,800
Medical to expand our ebike safety

1144
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,480
initiatives and it would be something

1145
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,079
similar to what or we could just

1146
00:51:48,079 --> 00:51:49,920
appropriate their whole spiel. I'm fine

1147
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,599
either way. but Huntington Beach's

1148
00:51:51,599 --> 00:51:52,960
efforts because it would include

1149
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,960
incorporating a formal curriculum with

1150
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,280
an exam, creating a designated course

1151
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,359
for hands-on ebike riding and safety

1152
00:51:59,359 --> 00:52:01,359
training, collaborating with the UCI

1153
00:52:01,359 --> 00:52:02,960
Medical Center to bring in nurses

1154
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,640
experience in treating ebike related

1155
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,880
injuries, and then directly involving

1156
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,880
parents in the program because I believe

1157
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,640
that the parents have to go through the

1158
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,599
program with their students out in

1159
00:52:13,599 --> 00:52:15,520
Huntington Beach and that might be

1160
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,920
another layer that maybe we can fold

1161
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,640
into what we have been doing. Um, but

1162
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,160
something that I want to throw out there

1163
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,240
so that we can take another look at it.

1164
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:25,760
And again, I'm not looking for anything

1165
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,000
tonight, but just

1166
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,640
because it's top of mind.

1167
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:31,680
>> Yes, ma'am.

1168
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,599
>> Okay.

1169
00:52:33,599 --> 00:52:35,280
>> All right. Lastly, I've got some staff

1170
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,280
shoutouts. I love these. I think I

1171
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,200
explained it uh a couple of meetings ago

1172
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:40,400
because we always acknowledge our

1173
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:41,760
executive team. We always acknowledge

1174
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,440
our directors. We typically can

1175
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,599
acknowledge managers, but then as you

1176
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:47,760
kind of metriculate down the line,

1177
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,119
there's people that we just don't see.

1178
00:52:49,119 --> 00:52:50,559
We don't know their names. We don't know

1179
00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:52,880
what their contributions are. So my

1180
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,400
first one is for wreck manager Jennifer

1181
00:52:56,400 --> 00:53:00,400
Sis Cis soy.

1182
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,880
She was formerly recognized as a 2025

1183
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,640
woman of distinction on Thursday July

1184
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,400
9th. She received the honor from Senator

1185
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,240
Strickland. The award highlights

1186
00:53:08,240 --> 00:53:09,920
Jennifer's outstanding leadership,

1187
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,760
dedication, and meaningful contributions

1188
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,000
to the law community. and we are proud

1189
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,599
to celebrate her achievements and

1190
00:53:15,599 --> 00:53:17,359
grateful for the positive impact that

1191
00:53:17,359 --> 00:53:20,240
she has had through her service. And I

1192
00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:22,400
will tell you that just a simple

1193
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,280
acknowledgement of someone's good work

1194
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,000
means so much. I walked in, Jennifer

1195
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,599
didn't know I was coming. She was almost

1196
00:53:29,599 --> 00:53:33,040
in tears and her daddy was there. Dad,

1197
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:34,880
the mayor.

1198
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,559
So, it's it's small things. I realize

1199
00:53:36,559 --> 00:53:37,680
when you have a title, you don't

1200
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,680
understand the depth and breadth of your

1201
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,599
title, but some people like, you know,

1202
00:53:41,599 --> 00:53:43,680
just take an extra second and say, "Hey,

1203
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,359
don't hit him. You're doing a good job."

1204
00:53:47,359 --> 00:53:49,760
Jordan's my dude. I can hit him. Next, I

1205
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,920
have a heartfelt shout out to support

1206
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,760
services manager Robert Aosta. And where

1207
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,040
is he? He's not even here. So, can y'all

1208
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,040
tell him I was talking about him? His

1209
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:58,480
exceptional behind thescenes

1210
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,400
contributions to our police department,

1211
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,000
which is a big deal because Robert was

1212
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,880
fired. He crossed over. Not many people

1213
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:06,559
do that particular bridge. He

1214
00:54:06,559 --> 00:54:08,319
consistently goes above and beyond to

1215
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:10,160
support critical operations. Most

1216
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:11,520
recently, he played a key role in

1217
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,040
organizing the department's community

1218
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,040
town hall meeting. His leadership has

1219
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,640
also been instrumental in many areas,

1220
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,160
including coordinating the citizens

1221
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,240
academy, guiding our emergency response

1222
00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:22,319
efforts during the recent Garden Grove

1223
00:54:22,319 --> 00:54:24,319
GKN aerospace incident, and then

1224
00:54:24,319 --> 00:54:25,839
overseeing the police department social

1225
00:54:25,839 --> 00:54:28,000
media presence. So, we extend our

1226
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,480
sincere appreciation to Robert for his

1227
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,640
dedication, professionalism, and

1228
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,640
continued to commitment to not just our

1229
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,480
community, but to our PD as a form of

1230
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,640
fire.

1231
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,520
All right. Next, we will do updates from

1232
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,200
city staff. What you got?

1233
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,319
>> Nothing for you, madam mayor.

1234
00:54:48,319 --> 00:54:51,760
>> Okay. We will move on to our warrants.

1235
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,200
Are there any questions for staff to

1236
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,040
follow up before the next council

1237
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,119
meeting?

1238
00:54:57,119 --> 00:54:58,640
Then I will ask for a motion and a

1239
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,040
second. I'll move it.

1240
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,680
>> Okay. Can I get a roll call?

1241
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:04,880
>> Mayor Dolby.

1242
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:05,359
>> Yes.

1243
00:55:05,359 --> 00:55:06,960
>> Mayor,

1244
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:07,440
>> yes.

1245
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:08,880
>> Council member Hassbury,

1246
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:09,359
>> I.

1247
00:55:09,359 --> 00:55:10,559
>> Council member Hibbert,

1248
00:55:10,559 --> 00:55:11,119
>> I.

1249
00:55:11,119 --> 00:55:12,160
>> Council member Love,

1250
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,160
>> I.

1251
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:15,839
We'll move on to the consent calendar.

1252
00:55:15,839 --> 00:55:17,599
All consent calendar items are may be

1253
00:55:17,599 --> 00:55:19,200
acted upon by one motion unless a

1254
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,720
council member requests separate action

1255
00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:23,040
on a specific item.

1256
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,800
Um, is there anybody would like to pull

1257
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,040
an item?

1258
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,920
I'm going to pull F.

1259
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,359
All right, then. Can I get a motion for

1260
00:55:31,359 --> 00:55:33,359
the balance of the consent calendar?

1261
00:55:33,359 --> 00:55:34,720
>> I move it.

1262
00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:36,319
>> Second.

1263
00:55:36,319 --> 00:55:38,240
>> This is a All in favor?

1264
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:45,200
>> I Okay. What I would like on F uh

1265
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,119
because

1266
00:55:47,119 --> 00:55:48,880
this is the approval of the B the bus

1267
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:50,079
shelter license and maintenance

1268
00:55:50,079 --> 00:55:52,720
agreement. So, what I would like I'm

1269
00:55:52,720 --> 00:55:57,200
going ask uh Dr. Na unless you know,

1270
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:58,480
Professor Simmons would like to

1271
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,240
interject.

1272
00:56:00,240 --> 00:56:03,040
This the bus shelters are of no charge

1273
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,880
to us because of an agreement that we

1274
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,760
have, right? And that includes um the

1275
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,160
maintenance and upkeep, which includes

1276
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,200
the trash cans. And so what I'm looking

1277
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:17,520
for is potentially having the attention

1278
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,280
to the trash cans and the maintenance be

1279
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,599
more uh seasonal. So maybe during the

1280
00:56:21,599 --> 00:56:23,280
summer they come out more frequently

1281
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,799
than they they would during the year

1282
00:56:24,799 --> 00:56:26,480
because I think during the summer we we

1283
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,040
get more utilization of the bus shelters

1284
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,760
because I I walk quite a bit and when I

1285
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,920
see um sometimes the trash cans they're

1286
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,319
not just full they're overflowing and I

1287
00:56:36,319 --> 00:56:37,839
think it's just because of uh the

1288
00:56:37,839 --> 00:56:40,000
traffic that is more seasonal especially

1289
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:41,440
during the summer. So, is that something

1290
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,839
that can be because it's already in our

1291
00:56:43,839 --> 00:56:45,040
contract, there's like we can approve

1292
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,079
this tonight and it's not going to make

1293
00:56:46,079 --> 00:56:47,200
a difference either way because it's

1294
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:48,720
already something that we're paying for,

1295
00:56:48,720 --> 00:56:53,190
right? It's not additional monies.

1296
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,319
» So, yes, maybe

1297
00:56:56,319 --> 00:56:58,960
council. So, uh, yes, to answer your

1298
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,040
question, in the agreement that

1299
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,040
hopefully will approve tonight, it does

1300
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,440
state that our trash, I mean, our

1301
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,839
contractor for the bus shelter

1302
00:57:07,839 --> 00:57:09,440
maintenance

1303
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,079
does a visit once a week to empty the

1304
00:57:12,079 --> 00:57:14,799
trash

1305
00:57:14,799 --> 00:57:18,240
as you may, you know, there might be

1306
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,440
increased use during the summertime. So,

1307
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,319
we've been with them the report for many

1308
00:57:24,319 --> 00:57:26,400
years and we're re-uping with them.

1309
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,319
We've had a very positive relationship

1310
00:57:28,319 --> 00:57:31,680
with them. We will inquire during the

1311
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,520
like we stated in the summer season. We

1312
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,160
can increase it maybe twice a week. Um

1313
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,000
and I'm very confident that we can get

1314
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,480
them because we've had a very positive.

1315
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,880
So again to clarify, we do not pay for

1316
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,559
any sort of maintenance or or cleaning.

1317
00:57:46,559 --> 00:57:49,040
It's a kind of a tradeoff where we allow

1318
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,599
them to advertise on the bus shelter. Uh

1319
00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:53,359
that's how they make their money and on

1320
00:57:53,359 --> 00:57:56,240
the end they upkeep it for us. Um, but I

1321
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:57,520
do also want to point out that during

1322
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,680
the advertisement, we as a city, we are

1323
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,839
guaranteed, um, outreach spots on the

1324
00:58:01,839 --> 00:58:03,680
bus shelter as well, which if you drive

1325
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,680
around the city, um, you'll see that we

1326
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,319
put out, um, um, America 250, um,

1327
00:58:08,319 --> 00:58:09,920
outreach on there currently. All right.

1328
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,680
So, hopefully that answer your question.

1329
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,680
>> Yeah. And then you may you mentioned the

1330
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,480
maintenance and cleaning. Um, if they

1331
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,559
could power wash,

1332
00:58:18,559 --> 00:58:19,839
>> I think would be helpful. I don't know

1333
00:58:19,839 --> 00:58:21,440
what the their cleaning mechanisms are

1334
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:22,880
now, but I mean, if there's a spill,

1335
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,799
it's it's pretty significant. I don't

1336
00:58:24,799 --> 00:58:26,960
think just a a wet rag and a squat

1337
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,119
bottle will do it for outside cleaning.

1338
00:58:29,119 --> 00:58:30,400
So if that's something that could be

1339
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,480
looked at as well under under the banner

1340
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,119
of free obviously that would be

1341
00:58:35,119 --> 00:58:35,520
wonderful.

1342
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:36,319
>> Understood.

1343
00:58:36,319 --> 00:58:37,839
>> You looking at me there. Okay.

1344
00:58:37,839 --> 00:58:38,799
>> If I could just

1345
00:58:38,799 --> 00:58:39,200
>> Yes.

1346
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:40,799
>> add some additional information

1347
00:58:40,799 --> 00:58:42,559
concerning the contract. As Ron had

1348
00:58:42,559 --> 00:58:44,720
noted there is a general obligation to

1349
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,720
keep these structures clean and free of

1350
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,640
debris and wash them and so forth on a

1351
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,200
regular basis. Uh but we do have some

1352
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,359
specific language in there about the

1353
00:58:53,359 --> 00:58:54,960
trash recepticles. Okay.

1354
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,640
>> And that language states that they are

1355
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,160
required to empty the trash cans

1356
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,400
whenever full but no less than two times

1357
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,520
per week. So under the current language

1358
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,359
they'll be out there twice a week but if

1359
00:59:05,359 --> 00:59:06,960
as you've indicated there's heightened

1360
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,480
use during the summer months for example

1361
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,000
and we're finding that those trash cans

1362
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,799
are full three four times a week they

1363
00:59:12,799 --> 00:59:14,559
would respond to that increased need.

1364
00:59:14,559 --> 00:59:17,119
>> Okay. Well or maybe just you know

1365
00:59:17,119 --> 00:59:19,200
circling back on enforcement. I I don't

1366
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:20,319
know if that's the right word, but

1367
00:59:20,319 --> 00:59:23,040
ensuring that they are out twice a week

1368
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,119
because when it's full, it is

1369
00:59:25,119 --> 00:59:26,559
overflowing and then I I think that

1370
00:59:26,559 --> 00:59:28,160
leads to how it would be cleaned or

1371
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:29,440
maintained and that's why I mentioned

1372
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,359
pressure washing.

1373
00:59:31,359 --> 00:59:33,040
>> That's definitely, madame mayor, that's

1374
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:34,559
something definitely that we can get

1375
00:59:34,559 --> 00:59:36,240
with the vendor and actually set up a

1376
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,400
schedule and then also anything that is

1377
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,000
above and beyond obviously that we can

1378
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,760
talk to them about or we can also have

1379
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,200
our public works team take a look as

1380
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:43,760
well.

1381
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,160
>> Okay. Well, I want them I want to get

1382
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,160
what I'm not paying. Yes, ma'am. I

1383
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,799
bartered for first. Okay, perfect. Okay.

1384
00:59:50,799 --> 00:59:52,880
Well, that was all that I had for F. So,

1385
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,640
I uh because I pulled it, I will make a

1386
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:59,359
motion to approve the agreement for um

1387
00:59:59,359 --> 01:00:01,359
for the bus shelters.

1388
01:00:01,359 --> 01:00:02,319
>> Second.

1389
01:00:02,319 --> 01:00:03,599
>> Okay. All in favor?

1390
01:00:03,599 --> 01:00:05,920
>> I

1391
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:06,720
didn't hear you.

1392
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:08,559
>> I

1393
01:00:08,559 --> 01:00:10,400
>> All right. Next, we're moving into our

1394
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,000
public hearing. We [clears throat] have

1395
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,440
a which is a resolution number 2026-26

1396
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,280
an update to the cost recovery mastery

1397
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,559
fee schedule which is through finance.

1398
01:00:20,559 --> 01:00:24,319
So can I get a staff report please?

1399
01:00:24,319 --> 01:00:26,640
>> So madame mayor just uh really quickly

1400
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,000
uh this is something that we bring

1401
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,760
before the city council each year in

1402
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,119
order to ensure that our costs are

1403
01:00:31,119 --> 01:00:34,400
keeping pace with inflation. Uh as such,

1404
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,720
we recommend that you inc that we

1405
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,400
continue to make sure that we're

1406
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,880
completing our cost recovery efforts by

1407
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,839
ensuring that we're keeping pace by

1408
01:00:43,839 --> 01:00:47,280
adding the CPI index increase each year.

1409
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,200
So this will be I think the third or

1410
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:50,880
fourth year that we have done this in a

1411
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,079
row, maybe a little bit longer.

1412
01:00:52,079 --> 01:00:52,960
>> Yeah, that's correct.

1413
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,280
>> Okay. And with that, I'll turn it over

1414
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:56,400
to Craig.

1415
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,720
>> Yeah. Thank you, city manager. Um, mayor

1416
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,599
and council, this is simply an update to

1417
01:01:01,599 --> 01:01:05,359
now include animal uh fees included into

1418
01:01:05,359 --> 01:01:07,599
the master fees. They were previously

1419
01:01:07,599 --> 01:01:10,480
not included and now um joined up with

1420
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:14,160
the Orange County um animal services to

1421
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:15,839
provide service for the city. We need to

1422
01:01:15,839 --> 01:01:18,400
include those fees in our uh schedule as

1423
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,910
well.

1424
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:23,839
» Okay.

1425
01:01:23,839 --> 01:01:27,040
Are there any questions up here?

1426
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,599
You mentioned animal services and I'm a

1427
01:01:29,599 --> 01:01:31,760
newer dog owner. What's the new fee for

1428
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,440
a pet license, a dog license?

1429
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,200
>> I believe it covers all the licenses

1430
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,680
that are required. Dog licenses, pet

1431
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,200
licenses.

1432
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:42,559
>> Same fee as what we were paying Long

1433
01:01:42,559 --> 01:01:43,280
Beach.

1434
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,000
>> Yes, but significantly

1435
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:53,750
uh less under the Orange County.

1436
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,480
» Any other questions?

1437
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,000
Okay. So, we will open the public

1438
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,442
hearing. Are there any public comments?

1439
01:02:00,442 --> 01:02:02,160
[laughter]

1440
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:03,839
I will close the public hearing.

1441
01:02:03,839 --> 01:02:05,839
>> Madam Mayor, if I may,

1442
01:02:05,839 --> 01:02:08,160
>> uh, we are streaming live um as a

1443
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,400
requirement for SB77 and we do not

1444
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:14,799
currently have any remote participation

1445
01:02:14,799 --> 01:02:21,829
either.

1446
01:02:21,839 --> 01:02:25,280
» All right. So, can I get a uh motion?

1447
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:26,640
I'll move it.

1448
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:27,760
>> Can I get a second?

1449
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:28,640
>> I'll second.

1450
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:29,599
>> All in favor?

1451
01:02:29,599 --> 01:02:30,880
>> I.

1452
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,119
>> Okay. Perfect.

1453
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:35,440
>> Next, we'll go on to resolution number

1454
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,079
2026-24, which is an annual annual

1455
01:02:38,079 --> 01:02:39,920
adjustment to the public works bidding

1456
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,319
threshold.

1457
01:02:42,319 --> 01:02:45,440
Can I get a staff report, please?

1458
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,359
>> And I'll turn it over to Mr. Not. But

1459
01:02:47,359 --> 01:02:49,359
again, this is a item that we bring

1460
01:02:49,359 --> 01:02:50,799
before the city council each year in

1461
01:02:50,799 --> 01:02:52,000
order to make sure that our cost

1462
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:53,680
recovery efforts are keeping pace with

1463
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,400
inflation.

1464
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,079
Thank you. Like the city manager Simmons

1465
01:02:58,079 --> 01:03:00,160
says that uh the charter permits annual

1466
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:01,599
adjustment to the California

1467
01:03:01,599 --> 01:03:05,920
construction cost index which is uh CCCI

1468
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,640
um annually. So um for this year um from

1469
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:12,319
June 1st 2025 to June 1st 2026 it is

1470
01:03:12,319 --> 01:03:15,760
calculated that the annual cost um

1471
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,000
increase will be 1.97.

1472
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,039
So right now um it goes from basically

1473
01:03:21,039 --> 01:03:25,200
125,000 to 127,462

1474
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,440
and so this is just a um formal

1475
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:30,480
documentation to add on the 1.97%

1476
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,119
increase.

1477
01:03:33,119 --> 01:03:36,720
>> Okay. Thank you. Are there any questions

1478
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,630
from the dis?

1479
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,839
Then I will open the public hearing.

1480
01:03:43,839 --> 01:03:47,990
Are there any public comments?

1481
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:49,839
do anything online? [laughter]

1482
01:03:49,839 --> 01:03:52,400
>> No ma'am.

1483
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,960
>> Then I will close. So the public hearing

1484
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:57,680
is that relevant to those in person and

1485
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,200
online.

1486
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:02,079
>> Um under SB77 the entire meeting is

1487
01:04:02,079 --> 01:04:04,799
relevant to remote participation.

1488
01:04:04,799 --> 01:04:07,920
>> Okay. So I will officially close the

1489
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,720
public hearing. Can I get a motion?

1490
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,960
>> I'll move it. Second.

1491
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:14,640
>> Okay. All in favor? I

1492
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:15,920
>> I

1493
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,119
>> Okay. And now we will move on to council

1494
01:04:19,119 --> 01:04:20,640
announcements.

1495
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,880
At this time, council members may also

1496
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:24,160
report on items not specifically

1497
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:25,680
described on the agenda that are of

1498
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,599
interest to the community provided no

1499
01:04:27,599 --> 01:04:29,839
action or discussion is taken except to

1500
01:04:29,839 --> 01:04:31,839
provide staff direct report back or to

1501
01:04:31,839 --> 01:04:35,200
place an item on a future agenda. So, I

1502
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:40,000
will start to my to my left. Council

1503
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,359
member Hibbert.

1504
01:04:41,359 --> 01:04:44,400
>> Thank you. to celebrate this great

1505
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,480
nation. Uh the Rossmore Highlands

1506
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,839
neighborhood. Each year we have a

1507
01:04:49,839 --> 01:04:51,680
small parade in our neighborhood. We

1508
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,880
literally head up Reagan U-turn and come

1509
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,200
back to the park on Pine and had a

1510
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:58,960
barbecue. So, I want to thank all the

1511
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,839
residents who helped plan that and help

1512
01:05:01,839 --> 01:05:05,359
plan that every year and remind also the

1513
01:05:05,359 --> 01:05:07,119
residents of uh the Rosmore Highlands

1514
01:05:07,119 --> 01:05:08,640
that our concerts in the park are coming

1515
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,599
to Orville Lewis Park this Thursday and

1516
01:05:11,599 --> 01:05:13,760
want to encourage everyone to join in

1517
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:17,349
the festivities

1518
01:05:17,359 --> 01:05:19,520
and then I'd like to read the rest of my

1519
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,079
statement. This 4th of July marked the

1520
01:05:22,079 --> 01:05:24,480
250th anniversary of the birth of our

1521
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,480
nation. To commemorate this historic

1522
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,640
milestone, I traveled to Philadelphia,

1523
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,280
Pennsylvania, the birthplace of American

1524
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:32,799
independence.

1525
01:05:32,799 --> 01:05:34,640
While there, I had the opportunity to

1526
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,319
visit many of the places where our

1527
01:05:36,319 --> 01:05:38,640
nation's story began, including

1528
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,039
Independence Hall, where the Declaration

1529
01:05:41,039 --> 01:05:43,359
of Independence was debated and adopted

1530
01:05:43,359 --> 01:05:46,960
on July 4th, 1776.

1531
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:48,799
Standing in that historic room was a

1532
01:05:48,799 --> 01:05:50,640
powerful reminder that the freedoms we

1533
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:52,880
enjoy today are secured through

1534
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,920
extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and an

1535
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,920
unwavering belief in liberty and

1536
01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:59,680
self-government.

1537
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,920
The trip was especially meaningful to me

1538
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,440
personally because I'm the direct

1539
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,680
descendant of a Pennsylvania farmer

1540
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,480
named Matias Miller who fought in the

1541
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,480
American Revolution.

1542
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:12,720
Walking the same streets where my ances

1543
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,359
my ancestor once lived and served our

1544
01:06:15,359 --> 01:06:17,520
young nation gave me a profound

1545
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,079
appreciation for the sacrifices made by

1546
01:06:20,079 --> 01:06:22,240
ordinary men who accomplished

1547
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,039
extraordinary things. It reminded me

1548
01:06:25,039 --> 01:06:27,119
that the blessings we enjoy today were

1549
01:06:27,119 --> 01:06:29,119
earned through courage, perseverance,

1550
01:06:29,119 --> 01:06:30,880
and faith.

1551
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,359
As we celebrate 250 years of our

1552
01:06:33,359 --> 01:06:35,599
republic, I hope we all take time to

1553
01:06:35,599 --> 01:06:38,160
reflect on those who came before us and

1554
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,240
renew our commitment to preserving the

1555
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,559
freedoms and opportunities that divine

1556
01:06:42,559 --> 01:06:46,640
our nation for future generations.

1557
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:50,559
I love America. I love our history, our

1558
01:06:50,559 --> 01:06:53,599
people, our God-given rights, and our

1559
01:06:53,599 --> 01:06:56,319
freedoms that make us unlike any other

1560
01:06:56,319 --> 01:06:58,880
nation in the world. I cherish the

1561
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,520
liberties protected by our Constitution,

1562
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,280
including the First Amendment, which

1563
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,760
guarantees our freedom of speech and

1564
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,920
allows Americans to express their views

1565
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,720
openly, and the Second Amendment, which

1566
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:12,640
protects our right to keep and bear

1567
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,160
arms.

1568
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,480
These constitutional freedoms are among

1569
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,280
the cornerstones of our republic and are

1570
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:21,280
rights that generations of Americans

1571
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,920
have fought to preserve.

1572
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,319
As President Ronald Reagan once said,

1573
01:07:26,319 --> 01:07:28,720
"Freedom is never more than one

1574
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,440
generation away from extinction." It is

1575
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,680
our responsibility to preserve that

1576
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,480
freedom, to teach it to our children and

1577
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,799
grandchildren, and to leave this nation

1578
01:07:38,799 --> 01:07:41,599
stronger than we found it. May God

1579
01:07:41,599 --> 01:07:43,359
continue to bless the city of Los

1580
01:07:43,359 --> 01:07:46,400
Alamos, the great state of California,

1581
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,440
and the United States of America. Happy

1582
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:56,630
250th birthday, America.

1583
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:57,520
You done?

1584
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:58,960
>> Yes, ma'am.

1585
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:00,240
>> Council member Low.

1586
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:04,000
>> Sure. Uh, three things. Last month, I uh

1587
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,400
attended a life science company with

1588
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,280
Tree as well as Michelle Shoots who was

1589
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:13,200
here today. Um, the July 3rd spectacular

1590
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,119
with all of you, which was a great

1591
01:08:15,119 --> 01:08:18,560
event. And also last Thursday concert in

1592
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,239
the park at Little Cottonwood, which was

1593
01:08:20,239 --> 01:08:22,400
also a great event. um encourage

1594
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:24,277
everybody to attend the uh concerts in

1595
01:08:24,277 --> 01:08:24,880
[clears throat] the park. I think

1596
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:26,960
they're really a lot of fun. I enjoy

1597
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:33,189
them very much. So that's it. Mad Mayor,

1598
01:08:33,199 --> 01:08:37,040
my turn. Okay. Uh busy beginning of

1599
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,120
July. We did the fireworks stand through

1600
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:43,600
the foundation. Um big change. We moved

1601
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,600
uh the second site over to Gnol Lumber.

1602
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,520
Thank you to Goodall Lumber um for

1603
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:51,440
accommodating us. uh that uh change

1604
01:08:51,440 --> 01:08:54,560
increased that booth by about 300% from

1605
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:57,759
the previous year's in sales. Uh the

1606
01:08:57,759 --> 01:09:00,159
rough estimate that we have uh we sold

1607
01:09:00,159 --> 01:09:02,080
about $189,000

1608
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,239
in four days. People like to blow things

1609
01:09:04,239 --> 01:09:07,359
up. Um and uh

1610
01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:08,159
>> safely.

1611
01:09:08,159 --> 01:09:10,560
Yes, they're safe and sane.

1612
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,679
>> Um huge thanks to the park and rec staff

1613
01:09:13,679 --> 01:09:17,440
who absolutely uh ran this place. It was

1614
01:09:17,440 --> 01:09:19,679
great because it gave me uh room to

1615
01:09:19,679 --> 01:09:22,400
breathe. Uh we have 96 spots to fill and

1616
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:25,199
a whole lot of fireworks to reorder so

1617
01:09:25,199 --> 01:09:26,799
we don't sell out. We were selling out

1618
01:09:26,799 --> 01:09:29,839
the first day on some of the items. So,

1619
01:09:29,839 --> 01:09:31,600
um the the amount of money that people

1620
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,719
spend on these is obscene. Um we had

1621
01:09:34,719 --> 01:09:37,359
Grammy and Papa uh with their grandkids

1622
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:39,920
come and spend about $1,500

1623
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:41,920
um because they just can't say no to

1624
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,719
those sweet little things. So, uh that's

1625
01:09:44,719 --> 01:09:46,719
all great. We had uh Summer Harvest,

1626
01:09:46,719 --> 01:09:48,480
Kuanas, and Myart helping in the

1627
01:09:48,480 --> 01:09:50,560
staffing, like I said, we have 96 spots

1628
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,040
to fill in the four days. And with the

1629
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:54,719
amazing help of our park and rec staff

1630
01:09:54,719 --> 01:09:56,640
who literally took over and just ran the

1631
01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:00,400
thing, um we're we're going to have

1632
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,640
probably about $90,000

1633
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:04,560
uh into the foundation to be able to

1634
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,920
support um new services, existing

1635
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:09,600
services, especially for our sweet

1636
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,480
seniors uh with the meals on wheels and

1637
01:10:12,480 --> 01:10:15,840
also some of their um classes. So we are

1638
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,000
thrilled. Um if Elvis needs a brother,

1639
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,280
talk to me now. Um so that was really

1640
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,640
great. Uh the 3rd of July all was always

1641
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:28,320
awesome. I think you said 12,000 people.

1642
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,440
>> Okay. Give or take. A lot of people.

1643
01:10:31,440 --> 01:10:33,679
>> Um we're there. Uh everybody was in

1644
01:10:33,679 --> 01:10:36,080
great moods. Uh it was it was really

1645
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,440
quite spectacular. Um OCFA. We are dark

1646
01:10:39,440 --> 01:10:41,360
in July and August, but we've got some

1647
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,600
really cool things coming up um in

1648
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,480
September. Uh I attended my ALOC board

1649
01:10:46,480 --> 01:10:50,320
meeting. Uh, Newport Beach Dove Town

1650
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:52,960
Homes was consistent. Costa Mesa Fair

1651
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,440
View developmental sensor was

1652
01:10:55,440 --> 01:10:58,400
consistent. Uh, Costa Mason neighborhood

1653
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,960
where we all belong was inconsistent and

1654
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,600
that was due to the developments in a

1655
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,719
high noise area. It uh could exceed the

1656
01:11:06,719 --> 01:11:10,320
maximum height of 92 feet and it falls

1657
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,560
within the runway protection zone which

1658
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,040
means they are right there when planes

1659
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:18,320
take off and land. Uh so we found that

1660
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:21,199
um inconsistent. However, I was the only

1661
01:11:21,199 --> 01:11:23,600
elected there and we had a robust

1662
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:27,360
discussion about the state mandate um

1663
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,800
versus the state mandate ach that they

1664
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,719
contradicts themselves and we were told

1665
01:11:32,719 --> 01:11:37,120
just to overrule ALOC. Um so we just had

1666
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,280
a real interesting conversation about

1667
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:40,880
when the state tells you to do one thing

1668
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:42,560
and then they tell you to do the exact

1669
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:45,760
opposite thing. um we would rather be

1670
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:47,679
compliant with the state mandate because

1671
01:11:47,679 --> 01:11:50,880
that doesn't cost us money. So um that

1672
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,600
is how we go and Alec understands that

1673
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,199
uh and they're in the same boat pretty

1674
01:11:55,199 --> 01:11:58,000
much we are statemandated.

1675
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:01,920
Um let's see cities um they had their

1676
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:06,080
board meeting last week and they were um

1677
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:08,800
in support of the formal expansion of

1678
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,880
the rural cities group to now be the

1679
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:14,080
small and rural cities group. Um, this

1680
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:15,679
was near and dear to my heart. I've been

1681
01:12:15,679 --> 01:12:18,159
working on this for about 18 months and

1682
01:12:18,159 --> 01:12:20,080
talked to anybody who wouldn't tell me

1683
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:22,480
to go away. Uh, and we were able to get

1684
01:12:22,480 --> 01:12:24,239
this, uh, working with the rural cities

1685
01:12:24,239 --> 01:12:26,000
that already exist. It's fairly new, but

1686
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,560
it does already exist. Uh, this will

1687
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,159
allow us we'll have a business meeting

1688
01:12:30,159 --> 01:12:32,400
at our at the league's conference in

1689
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:35,679
Anaheim in September. Uh, we also are

1690
01:12:35,679 --> 01:12:38,400
speaking on wearing every hat, labor,

1691
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,640
leadership, and liability in small

1692
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,560
cities. that's going to be in one of the

1693
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:44,640
general sessions. We'll have a list

1694
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,560
serve where we can exchange ideas, we

1695
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,840
can discuss state mandates, and um just

1696
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:52,400
kind of learn from each other. Uh just a

1697
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,120
quick little trivia thing, 49% of cities

1698
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:58,320
in California are under 30,000 people.

1699
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,640
So we are combining uh all those small

1700
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:04,560
little voices into one big voice and um

1701
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,640
get get some services for the small

1702
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,960
cities and get some uh learning

1703
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:11,679
materials for the small cities. So that

1704
01:13:11,679 --> 01:13:17,350
is all I have. Thank you.

1705
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:18,400
» Thank you. I just want [clears throat]

1706
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,880
to thank the residents of the suburbia

1707
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:23,679
neighborhood. Um they invited the mayor

1708
01:13:23,679 --> 01:13:25,440
to participate but they allowed me to

1709
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:27,760
attend and participate as well. It's my

1710
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,840
understanding it's the longest running

1711
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,239
parade, Fourth of July parade, maybe

1712
01:13:32,239 --> 01:13:34,560
parade altogether in Orange County. So,

1713
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,080
thank you for that. It was a really good

1714
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:40,800
time. I uh attended both of my OC

1715
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,600
sanitation meetings. Nothing to report

1716
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,000
there. And I went to a couple of the

1717
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,040
concerts in the park. Uh the last one

1718
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:50,480
last Thursday was a really good time.

1719
01:13:50,480 --> 01:13:52,080
So, I encourage people to come out. It's

1720
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:56,080
a really good time. And um it was pretty

1721
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,239
cool. So you kind of it's not in the in

1722
01:13:58,239 --> 01:14:00,159
the heat of the day. You get out, get

1723
01:14:00,159 --> 01:14:01,840
some cool air, get some food, and listen

1724
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:08,149
to some good music. So that's it.

1725
01:14:08,159 --> 01:14:10,776
Okie dokie. Um

1726
01:14:10,776 --> 01:14:12,086
[laughter]

1727
01:14:12,086 --> 01:14:12,960
[gasps]

1728
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:14,719
I just always have like such a long

1729
01:14:14,719 --> 01:14:16,640
list, but it's just because I love my

1730
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:18,800
city so much and I give so much of

1731
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,040
myself. So we're going to go through

1732
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,440
this. I went to my ACCOC executive board

1733
01:14:23,440 --> 01:14:24,480
meeting. We are discussing

1734
01:14:24,480 --> 01:14:26,400
collaborations and advocacy across the

1735
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,960
county and then all ACCOC member cities

1736
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:30,719
and then try to add to our rank so that

1737
01:14:30,719 --> 01:14:32,239
we can strengthen our Orange County

1738
01:14:32,239 --> 01:14:34,719
voice. Um I won't say that Orange County

1739
01:14:34,719 --> 01:14:37,280
gets bullied by bigger counties, but

1740
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,840
they would like to. Uh we received a

1741
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:42,159
check from Congressman Tran's office to

1742
01:14:42,159 --> 01:14:44,239
support the city's um a facet of their

1743
01:14:44,239 --> 01:14:47,600
drone program. So it was about $300,000.

1744
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:48,800
It was like the big check, so we're

1745
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,040
waiting on the the actual check, but

1746
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:52,960
that was actually pretty cool. I

1747
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:54,960
attended several of the summer concert

1748
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,440
series over on Pine Street and it really

1749
01:14:57,440 --> 01:15:00,320
is a phenomenal turnout on each of the

1750
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,120
Thursday evenings. I strongly suggest

1751
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,199
that you go really Los knows how to

1752
01:15:05,199 --> 01:15:06,800
throw a party. So if we're throwing a

1753
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:08,239
party, you want to come out and be a

1754
01:15:08,239 --> 01:15:11,679
part. I went to my vectors board meeting

1755
01:15:11,679 --> 01:15:15,360
and um we had one positive Westnile

1756
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:19,040
virus case in our city. So we are always

1757
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:20,880
pushing out the latest information on

1758
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,199
our website. It's on our social media

1759
01:15:23,199 --> 01:15:26,640
and bottom line is any these mosquitoes

1760
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:30,960
these these little they can live in even

1761
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:34,400
a capful of water. So tip and toss make

1762
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:36,560
sure that you are emptying bodies of

1763
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:38,000
water. You're paying attention to your

1764
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,920
pools that and they can live in your

1765
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:41,840
house. So it's making sure that you're

1766
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:43,440
not leaving standing water in any of

1767
01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:45,280
your sinks, any of your bathtubs. Keep

1768
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,600
your toilet seat closed. All that jazz.

1769
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:49,920
more information on the um vector's

1770
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,960
website. I also had the distinct

1771
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:56,400
pleasure of not just MCing the ACC

1772
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,719
Golden Hub of Innovation Award, but our

1773
01:15:58,719 --> 01:16:01,120
city was actually honored with a Golden

1774
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,000
Hub and um congratulations to our staff

1775
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,320
on being recognized countywide by our

1776
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:08,719
colleagues and our counterparts for our

1777
01:16:08,719 --> 01:16:11,360
extreme excellence.

1778
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:12,960
Then I also had an OHOG board meeting

1779
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:14,640
where we approved the budget for 2026

1780
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,960
2027. It was balanced with no increases

1781
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:19,840
to dues or cuts to funding. I attended

1782
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,120
the PD's town hall. It was uh really

1783
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:24,640
well pretty well attended and very

1784
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,560
informative. The major takeaways were

1785
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,800
how to avoid senior scams and the need

1786
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,520
for more ebike intervention. We're

1787
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:33,120
actually working on trying to get more

1788
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,120
of that senior scam alert information

1789
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,360
out to our residents because it's it's

1790
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:39,440
really abhorrent the way that people can

1791
01:16:39,440 --> 01:16:41,679
take advantage of these anybody that

1792
01:16:41,679 --> 01:16:43,199
answers your phone. It's like you say

1793
01:16:43,199 --> 01:16:45,199
hello, they take your voice, they clone

1794
01:16:45,199 --> 01:16:46,960
it, and then they can call one of your

1795
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:48,800
loved ones and say, you know, they were

1796
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:50,320
arrested, they were in a catastrophic

1797
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:51,920
accident, they were this, that, and

1798
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:53,520
whatever, and now they're asking them

1799
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:57,040
for 10, 20, 30, $40,000. So, uh, we need

1800
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:58,640
to kind of push that information out

1801
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:01,280
more. And we had a spectacular Third of

1802
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,440
July event. We had so many of our

1803
01:17:03,440 --> 01:17:05,280
legislators and representatives and

1804
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,280
agency partners. We even had the u, what

1805
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:09,199
is he, an executive director from OC

1806
01:17:09,199 --> 01:17:12,080
SAND, from OC Sanitation District. He

1807
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:14,080
came out and their chair, they came out

1808
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:17,040
and our our chief came out and our um

1809
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:18,880
and I loved having and our city attorney

1810
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,760
came out. It was just flush full of a

1811
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:23,520
wonderful time and it was so very well

1812
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,040
attended that they had to close the

1813
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,280
gates. I don't know if we have to do

1814
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:29,280
that every year, but uh we had to close

1815
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:30,400
our gates this year and not allow

1816
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,239
anybody else in. But everyone that came

1817
01:17:32,239 --> 01:17:34,480
said that it was a glorious time. It

1818
01:17:34,480 --> 01:17:37,040
made me super proud to not just be a Los

1819
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:39,280
Alamdian, which is what I call my kids,

1820
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,760
but also an American.

1821
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:45,280
Uh, I was in, like Prom said, a July 4th

1822
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:48,960
parade in suburbia and they put me in a

1823
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:50,480
little red Corvette. So, you know, that

1824
01:17:50,480 --> 01:17:51,840
song was playing through my head as

1825
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:53,280
we're driving around in a short little

1826
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:55,120
circuit. I'm not going to sing it now.

1827
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,679
And then I was also honored to witness

1828
01:17:57,679 --> 01:18:01,120
our OCFA heroes receive personalized

1829
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,520
letters and challenge coins from the

1830
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,920
president of the United States for their

1831
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:07,600
excellence in handling the Garden Grove

1832
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,480
incident. And the president asked

1833
01:18:10,480 --> 01:18:12,719
specifically that the letters not just

1834
01:18:12,719 --> 01:18:14,719
be put in the mail, not just FedEx, not

1835
01:18:14,719 --> 01:18:18,239
just UPS, but handd delivered to our

1836
01:18:18,239 --> 01:18:21,040
heroes. And that was just such an honor

1837
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,360
to witness. And I'm still so incredibly

1838
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,000
proud of our first responders and and

1839
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:27,520
our, you know, our PD too. I see you

1840
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:28,880
over there turning red. Y'all did a good

1841
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:32,239
job, too. But to know that they were

1842
01:18:32,239 --> 01:18:34,800
given handwritten letters and

1843
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:36,640
handdelivered coins, that really speaks

1844
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,520
to the level of excellence.

1845
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,239
Y'all are phenomenal. My hat is off to

1846
01:18:42,239 --> 01:18:44,800
you, sir. I also attended the cadet

1847
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:46,640
graduation for our latest addition to

1848
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,800
our PD roster, who was pinned this

1849
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,840
evening. I took an OCTA tour of the 91

1850
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:53,280
express lanes to understand the service

1851
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,600
and impact of the 91 through Orange and

1852
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,480
Riverside counties. I also attended my

1853
01:18:58,480 --> 01:19:00,320
ACC board of directors meeting where we

1854
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:01,760
discuss strategies and programming to

1855
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:03,360
impact and benefit member cities and the

1856
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,120
county as a whole. And then um just now

1857
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,360
I gave a tour to our senator Tony

1858
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,679
Strickland to experience our Lost Link

1859
01:19:11,679 --> 01:19:13,199
and then see some of the excellent

1860
01:19:13,199 --> 01:19:15,199
businesses as we launch our business

1861
01:19:15,199 --> 01:19:17,760
alliance. So super shout out to Dairy

1862
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:20,560

01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,880
taking part in part of our launch for

1864
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:26,800

01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,760
