And I went to several of the conference breakout sessions, so we're very 45 00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:11,520 good. This year, one of the ones that I went to was, I don't see, sorry while I go to look 46 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:18,140 through my thing, the authentic leadership and communication in special district governance. 47 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,440 That 48 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,820 with confidence, a practical guide for special districts since we have our municipal services 49 00:03:29,820 --> 00:03:34,460 review coming up. I thought it would be good to know about that. And then there was another 50 00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:43,080 one you called teamwork makes the dream work, how to focus on your team for success, strategic planning 51 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:50,760 for special district boards and managers, see, one more, 52 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,460 I didn't get to see Martin Rache, 53 00:03:55,580 --> 00:04:00,540 I think Catherine went, one voice clear expectations, how courts can get general manager 54 00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:06,920 evaluations right, but I did go to unlocking your agency's future succession planning through 55 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:14,900 talent development. And since we just have like one general manager and one president, 56 00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:23,240 and if either of you or two suddenly unexpectedly expire, we should have a succession plan 57 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:30,860 in place. But you know, that was a really interesting seminar how they did it. They said that 58 00:04:30,860 --> 00:04:40,840 train people, bringing them up through management by, you know, getting them to take on responsibilities, 59 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,120 even if they weren't, but if the person bought, they weren't ready, they still made them do it, 60 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,960 so that they were kind of brimming them for leadership down the road. Then there's another one that I 61 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:57,160 went to from insights, to influencing developing political acumen, reading the room, 62 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:09,220 It's not a town, it's a skill, and that was it, and then they had the last meeting was just a breakout conference, and it was pretty good. I thought, what do you think Catherine did you enjoy it? 63 00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:10,680 I'll do it for my Turkish speech. 64 00:05:10,860 --> 00:05:16,520 Okay, well, I have some other things I want to, but I'll give them under directives for reports. 65 00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:17,520 Okay, thank you. 66 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:26,360 It was a few days ago, I took a check from San Mateo County for $400, found that ATMs could not digest it. 67 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,580 So I actually had to take it in the side because so I don't know something about the check format and it, 68 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,880 but the reason I had the check as some of you guys know is that if it turns out your election is unopposed, 69 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:44,260 then the $400 that you paid for putting your candidate statement and name in the bathroom, the voter pamphlet, 70 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:51,640 So they saved money and I got my money back and got another little story of tech failure. 71 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,440 But what it's tempting is I need to run a campaign. 72 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,380 My there's no position statement. 73 00:05:59,380 --> 00:06:01,520 It's possible nobody will even know why exist. 74 00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:07,240 So I'm going to I've already got some signage in my front yard and every now and then long shares out there. 75 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:13,200 I'm not going to have good campchairs and I'm like, sir, some drinks and I and I will have a little bat signal. 76 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,060 I forgot to bring it for a little batman logo. 77 00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:19,060 I can display up in the house as a kind of a front yard forum for 78 00:06:19,060 --> 00:06:22,740 monetary people and more speech if they want to put it to talk about 79 00:06:22,740 --> 00:06:27,500 whatever and it might be one of the stuff of course, but I just think we need 80 00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:31,240 to spend more time talking to each other and relative to the number of 81 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,040 documents we find. 82 00:06:32,260 --> 00:06:36,080 So the more documents we put in the pipeline, more we need to up our game in 83 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,940 person where it's going to the way off site. 84 00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:41,140 You know, and CSDA, they have a lot to perform that. 85 00:06:42,340 --> 00:06:43,080 Through the chat. 86 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,320 They have a lot to do. 87 00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:44,540 Great. 88 00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:54,660 I'm looking forward to using the excuse of running for election to actually really talk to my 89 00:06:54,660 --> 00:06:57,920 neighbors about all kinds of things about how we make these places better. 90 00:06:58,280 --> 00:06:59,540 Thank you. 91 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,640 Yes, I did go to the CSDA conference. 92 00:07:03,980 --> 00:07:07,920 The reason we needed to stay inside was because it was something like that. 93 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:18,820 and 15 degrees somewhere between between 100 and 117 degrees outside for the entire conference. 94 00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:28,720 Fortunately, it's a huge hotel and so just walking between the rooms and the conference area. 95 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:43,800 It was a good half mind. It was indoors and air condition. So, as always, the CSTA conferences are very valuable. 96 00:07:46,020 --> 00:07:57,560 I had quite a few conversations with Martin and other people, and the workshops are always very good. 97 00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:07,400 As a board member on CSDA, we're looking for new ideas for next year where it will be in San Diego. 98 00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:14,120 There were over 1,000 people, this is the largest conference they've had. 99 00:08:15,740 --> 00:08:19,640 And I started going to them when there might have been 150. 100 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:33,360 Neil, the GM has done a fabulous job of growing and making this organization valuable 101 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,300 to special districts, 102 00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:42,560 and in more importantly, he's looking to grow it and get ideas 103 00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:47,300 for future workshops, so if anybody has any ideas, you can either send him to CSTA or give 104 00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:56,940 them to meet and I'll pass them on. One of the things I did notice was we have a very devoted 105 00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:05,700 group of special district board members in the state and a summer getting older. And so we need 106 00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:13,740 hearing assistance from some of these conferences for some of these sessions. 107 00:09:14,980 --> 00:09:21,680 So I've asked them to look into it so that we could have better hearing for folks. 108 00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:27,980 There was a woman who's been on the CSDA board for ever so long. 109 00:09:28,980 --> 00:09:33,640 And she's got a serious clock home and now, so she can't read what's on the board. 110 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:42,640 And so they've got to figure out some way to have printed handouts of the PowerPoints. 111 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:50,840 I will say that the PowerPoints are available online for every single one of those workshops 112 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:58,440 if you want to find the schedule and look at that now. 113 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:07,520 at our CNACA meeting, California, CNACA meeting, the other day we had a speaker for California 114 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:14,280 Emergency Services, or CNACA County Emergency Services, and they were talking about the 115 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:27,640 projections for this upcoming probable, but not guaranteed, I'll name it out, and I'm not 116 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:34,920 sure how to read the reporting, but at the last Sam Board meeting on Monday, which you can watch, 117 00:10:35,820 --> 00:10:43,540 I had asked Kation to do a presentation on what Sam is doing to get ready for this 118 00:10:43,540 --> 00:10:49,080 in case this storm does hit. Some people are going, oh, you don't need to worry about 119 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:55,740 this, it's how I'd pop, it's just hyperbole and hypothesis. The problem is that if it does hit, 120 00:10:55,740 --> 00:11:00,280 you don't want to be on the unprepared side. 121 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:14,040 So that's it's coming and I would recommend if you've got just in a side, you can go for a senior yard, don't disturb them, they'll help your yard great. 122 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,820 That was a little holes, a really good drainage network. 123 00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:31,820 And so other than then yesterday, I was sworn in to these special district seat on San Mateo County 124 00:11:31,820 --> 00:11:43,060 last night. And I look forward to learning a lot and taking a stronger position for the value 125 00:11:43,060 --> 00:11:51,760 of special districts in our communities, because the original life, though, was created with the 126 00:11:52,700 --> 00:12:01,880 bias against special districts.

Okay, so for you to change over to another agenda, I'm Larry, I don't 243 00:20:36,840 --> 00:21:04,940 Blocked at least a catch him had left for the cat trance that was flight bypass alignment and it goes through all the different letters that have gone through the county over the years and has a map of the alignment and it talks about the fact that in order for it to become an official linear trail that it has to get a specific plan and coastal commission certification and 244 00:21:06,340 --> 00:21:12,400 everything that I've read on that website says that we have to get the planning of 245 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,860 Department of政治 y'all counting to do it. And right now, at least through 246 00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:24,540 2020, the end of 2025, the Mid Coast Parks mitigation fee, which is nice that 247 00:21:24,540 --> 00:21:33,340 are collected through everybody that does any kind of a remodeling their home or 248 00:21:33,340 --> 00:21:39,600 they build a new home on the coastside goes into a pot and it goes into an interest-bearing 249 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,160 account at the county. 250 00:21:42,140 --> 00:21:51,020 So right now in that pot, they had at the end of 2025, 287,444 dollars and 58 cents. 251 00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:56,040 And for the past two years, 24 and 25, they hadn't spent any of it. 252 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:05,000 So I think Belgium, right time to talk to Steve Monowitz, to try to get them to get rolling on a plan, 253 00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:10,440 because if they spend that money, they've just appointed Hannah Armstrong as the new 254 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,420 parks director, because they didn't ever appoint anyone since Nicholas falls around left. 255 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:21,140 You may be still spending that money. I know once in the past they spent it all on four and a half. 256 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:29,960 So I'd like to say it gets kind of this north end of the mid coast, so I don't know if you do, but, you know, it's 257 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:40,720 If we were involved in it, we could say where the, you know, different elements of that trail plan, where I think they have to have certain spots where the bus will let you off, etc. 258 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:49,600 We don't want giant parking lots, you know, we want people to ride their bike to it, or something and not a lot of out there. 259 00:22:49,600 --> 00:23:01,820 What I think Scott said, I think it's one step at a time, and jumping into buses and parking lots is not going to maintain that property right now, so you know that 260 00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:06,460 That's what we'll have to have 261 00:23:06,460 --> 00:23:15,660 So I don't understand that's usually said that the other county has to develop the plan. 262 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,940 It's got to be approved by the Coastal Commission. 263 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,020 However, the property is owned by Kelterans. 264 00:23:23,020 --> 00:23:28,360 And they have said that the property is to sell at for sale at market value. 265 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,320 So I don't know what the market value is. 266 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:40,940 And I'll put a shameless plug in from my son because he's a executive director of a 267 00:23:40,940 --> 00:23:45,780 child's spirit of the Santa Cruz Mountains. And I put him in contact with Clements, 268 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:51,740 because he's aware of grant money that can be obtained for buying property to keep it open 269 00:23:51,740 --> 00:23:56,200 space. So I don't know if Clements is a stock tumor or not. I don't get anything out of this 270 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,300 point.

So we are every year asking our 294 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:35,400 account and Peter McKinna and his firm to review the information that psychology provides 295 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:42,700 and we receive a report and this is what this item is about so before I hand this over to Peter 296 00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:49,640 to tell us what he saw in the records. I'm going to let the board know that like every year 297 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:59,180 We will prepare a prop to 18 notice for a rate increase of 6% for the first meeting in December. 298 00:25:59,780 --> 00:26:01,100 Thank you. 299 00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:04,770 Here. 300 00:26:05,810 --> 00:26:06,050 There you go. 301 00:26:06,990 --> 00:26:07,470 Yes. 302 00:26:07,970 --> 00:26:11,410 As I was saying, it's an annual island that we bring to the board. 303 00:26:12,410 --> 00:26:17,430 The ecology provides, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's basically the same as the exhibit 304 00:26:17,430 --> 00:26:25,290 e, which basically lays out prior years and then all the various indices which are applied 305 00:26:25,290 --> 00:26:31,050 to the prior year expenditure categories to then come up with the current year rate. 306 00:26:31,710 --> 00:26:41,170 As comes in, it said, we are fortunate in the overall agreement to have the S4CAP because this year is 307 00:26:41,170 --> 00:26:46,690 4.41%, but because of the effort about from previous years, we are going to get to this 308 00:26:46,690 --> 00:26:47,510 6%. 309 00:26:48,890 --> 00:26:58,650 My procedures basically go through a pretty rigid set of really driven, and as far as I say, 310 00:26:59,130 --> 00:27:04,770 okay, setting up testing procedures to basically go through, and in essence, test what has 311 00:27:04,770 --> 00:27:08,170 been provided to us by our college, and I say, okay, yes, is it accurate? 312 00:27:08,910 --> 00:27:20,290 And are there any slim mistakes that would come from formulas or just inappropriate application of the agreement? 313 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:22,030 That's why I'm going through a testing. 314 00:27:23,230 --> 00:27:29,050 And so I said, with the period of time going through it and basically going through that process to then say, 315 00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:36,310 Yeah, in essence, this is accurate based on the information that we have and a time constraints that are involved. 316 00:27:36,310 --> 00:27:43,550 this is an accurate number. The current year is at 4.4 per cent. We are applying the 317 00:27:43,550 --> 00:27:48,850 prior year deferred amounts to them, to the 6% which has been reducing the overall 318 00:27:48,850 --> 00:27:52,830 deferred amount for future years. For other two more years, the agreement goes through 319 00:27:52,830 --> 00:27:58,250 2028. At which time we're going to go through the overall negotiation process again. 320 00:27:59,230 --> 00:28:05,170 But what we have in front of us is basically the agreement that yes. Recology went through 321 00:28:05,170 --> 00:28:15,910 process correctly, and there were no material deviations from their process to come up with 322 00:28:15,910 --> 00:28:16,810 the six percent increase. 323 00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:20,360 Questions? 324 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:22,940 Any questions? 325 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,980 I have another question for Cummins. 326 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:46,080 4.1 percent, why has our, has our, has our, have our other costs gone up, 4.1 percent as well? 327 00:28:48,190 --> 00:28:49,910 4 percent is a lot. 328 00:28:50,690 --> 00:28:53,110 Which other costs are you referring to? 329 00:28:53,110 --> 00:29:00,510 I'm talking about district costs, there is 4.1, a carried out from years where it was 330 00:29:00,510 --> 00:29:10,690 high and we had to smooth it out so that we didn't get a 70% or an 8% price it cost 331 00:29:10,690 --> 00:29:13,670 to services increase from Ritholipheet. 332 00:29:15,090 --> 00:29:22,710 Well, you may recall that we had actually two digit increases in the past that were requested. 333 00:29:24,510 --> 00:29:34,330 And the staff report refers to quite a large number, sorry, I already clicked it away, but I think it was over $200,000. 334 00:29:35,650 --> 00:29:38,210 And I read a new and Peter, you can confirm that. 335 00:29:39,250 --> 00:29:41,070 I may be able to do two hop in here. 336 00:29:41,070 --> 00:29:57,820 To your point specifically, the bulk of the expenses, they do apply the Bay Area CPI, which we also utilize for our salary and benefits increase. 337 00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,980 But they also include... 338 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:21,420 Include other indices, which are outside of the California CPI, or the Congress, the area CPI, mainly, and the other portion is going to be, they have a collective bargaining agreement with their operators, which can go higher than the 2.78%. 339 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:28,360 The vehicle that I know which is related to the diesel expense is at 6.7%, that's 340 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:36,200 0.07%, that was probably the largest increase fuel, 8.4%, so it's not necessarily 341 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:43,160 just CPI, there are other indices which are applied to prior year rates. 342 00:30:44,660 --> 00:30:50,620 It's an previous year, so this was an index phase years, every three years we have a cost 343 00:30:50,620 --> 00:30:57,340 base, which then they go toward their audit for their bases, for the increase, and then, 344 00:30:58,420 --> 00:31:06,460 but I said, more to your point, the increase this year, 4.4 percent combining all of their 345 00:31:06,460 --> 00:31:09,980 various indices is accurate. 346 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:21,740 hours for our audit or our budget process was not too far off, but it was a full point, less than. 347 00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:28,820 But I said, it's not very far off, but I said, when they bring in the other pieces that they do, I can see how they get to. 348 00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:38,480 which as I had a pin like go on there and verify their increases, they're not just, you 349 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,260 know, here's the spreadsheet, you know, take it for what it is. 350 00:31:41,340 --> 00:31:47,260 I do look, they do give their references, and I can't go there, because it is a matter of, 351 00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:53,540 if you want to change a number, you want to change it at a decimal point, we can see it, but 352 00:31:53,540 --> 00:32:00,000 And these are, these are posted, they, they do provide the references so that we can independently verify it. 353 00:32:01,460 --> 00:32:09,200 Okay, thank you.

We then show very clearly that 455 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:24,320 the checks get God Sam Sam recognizes it our books match theirs. It has gone over fiscal years where 456 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:29,340 we've had the book, a closing journal entry 457 00:40:29,340 --> 00:40:31,700 because it did happen after the fiscal year. 458 00:40:31,940 --> 00:40:35,920 And so it is interesting just how the interplay has worked 459 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,880 out over these, you know, going on four years now. 460 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,020 But yeah, it's a wonderful thing. 461 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,480 I truly mean that. 462 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,140 Thank you for all your hard work with the accounting on it. 463 00:40:49,140 --> 00:40:50,540 And signing it for you. 464 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:51,200 No, yeah. 465 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:57,980 Again, our engineering team, along with just the integration with the district and their staff, 466 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,080 it's a lot of hours and a lot of hard work, but they do a great job. 467 00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:12,220 And through the chair, it goes to Sam, but basically each district kind of saves that a third 468 00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:15,880 of that money. Are there a share of that money? Is that right? 469 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:21,280 in the end, yes, for race, because it's one of the same 470 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,960 that has to spend on products. Right, yes. Yeah, important products. 471 00:41:26,460 --> 00:41:29,580 And so that comes right off the top and that's the memory 472 00:41:29,580 --> 00:41:34,220 disease, get the rest. So it's definitely a very big help 473 00:41:34,220 --> 00:41:37,680 to lighten the load. I just wanted to get you in a 474 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,120 bun in the youth. Did you have anything you wanted to say? 475 00:41:44,380 --> 00:41:47,040 Yes, thank you, find me. Yeah, please. 476 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:58,480 I think that the Kudos Coast actually took lements and the board for having the foresight and the 477 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:07,820 willingness to do this. It's a lot of work for you because the first thing foremost was to 478 00:42:07,820 --> 00:42:15,260 join the San Mateo County mitigation program, right? 479 00:42:15,460 --> 00:42:17,300 Pre-disaster mitigation program. 480 00:42:18,100 --> 00:42:20,980 That was the first decision that this board made. 481 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,040 Then the board made a decision to include 482 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,060 Sam, because Sam cannot. 483 00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:28,480 Sam is not special district. 484 00:42:30,420 --> 00:42:32,420 He were the only agencies on the course 485 00:42:32,420 --> 00:42:34,680 that agreed to do this. 486 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:45,580 All these decisions that were made, we made suggestions and thank you Peter for your kind words and I know you work very hard and it's amazing what you do. 487 00:42:45,580 --> 00:42:59,620 But this board persevered and voted and supported and clum and spearheaded this New General Manager provided the leadership for this effort. 488 00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:07,660 So, and I just want to add, I think, director Yang asked the question, which part of money there was, 489 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:20,560 the most miraculous thing was that, yes, through this program, Sam received reimbursement for the disasters for the storm damage, 490 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:26,220 for the actual damage. But this money that Peter has mentioned, for the electrical building, 491 00:43:26,220 --> 00:43:30,680 is for the relocation, is the pre-disaster 492 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,180 medication, which is a miracle to get this money. 493 00:43:33,540 --> 00:43:37,400 It's so hard that we were able to 494 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,320 through all these programs, 495 00:43:38,500 --> 00:43:39,580 made a compelling case. 496 00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:41,480 So it's a real win, 497 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,700 but I would like to thank the board 498 00:43:43,700 --> 00:43:47,020 and the general manager for the leadership. 499 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:48,220 Thank you. 500 00:43:49,240 --> 00:43:49,500 Okay. 501 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,100 I'd like to have some other good 502 00:43:52,100 --> 00:44:00,080 Katherine, I want to thank you because you're knowledge of the field, the youth, you track 503 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:05,980 the opportunities, you've brought many grant opportunities to us to let us know as many 504 00:44:05,980 --> 00:44:06,460 available. 505 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:15,240 Here's what it takes to qualify and the teamwork with your, with what you know and what you 506 00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:21,200 bring and the work that you do in concert with clones bringing real administrative gift 507 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:29,960 to this, and Peter's providing that all of the financial logistics that we're fired. 508 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:38,600 I love that when we put all this together, we get the picture of governments that is the 509 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,700 the opposite of what so many people think government was about. 510 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:47,620 And it's like, nope, this is very clear, very public. 511 00:44:47,620 --> 00:44:54,060 All the money is tracked, all the work, we know the work is well-plied and well-done. 512 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:59,980 From end to end, from the glimmer of hope that we might get to go get some money too. 513 00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:08,480 What the project has been completed in we haven't. We documented a path all the way through and we like the projects that we get to do out of it. 514 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:15,180 But we know a lot about what we need to do and how much it's going to cost in this time of 515 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:25,020 Sam having to spend millions of dollars that, you know, kind of urgently through being kind of forced on us. 516 00:45:25,020 --> 00:45:34,080 It is great to get any help to take care of any of the issues, whether it's dealing with the damage, 517 00:45:34,620 --> 00:45:38,560 or getting ahead of it by mitigating it by doing things I'm moving to be a lot of trouble, 518 00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:44,000 which you brought to our attention. I believe it was in 2008 or 2009. 519 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:50,720 And here we are, well, not by 20 years later, and there is light at the end of the tunnel here. 520 00:45:51,900 --> 00:45:57,720 So, thank you, Tonya, thank you, Simon, thank you, Peter, and thank you, board. 521 00:45:58,940 --> 00:46:06,760 And thanks to our friends Sam, who agreed to let go of this complicated route, and here 522 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:14,200 we were there, we were sitting at the 1.8 million in a change, so far, Catherine? 523 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:24,200 Well, I would add that that was work that need to be done that Sam does not have money for. 524 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:32,640 That's funny and for work that does not that Sam did not have to the money to fund. 525 00:46:33,580 --> 00:46:39,640 And so it is more than just saving each or third actually half a million. 526 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:55,400 would pay 66% Granada and Montero would each pay about 20% and I know it's in a thank you 527 00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:05,980 for that one bay in our inbox, for example. But that said, that's what makes this sport 528 00:47:05,980 --> 00:47:27,500 So different from the other two member agencies is we put Sam at the head of our list, and so I like to say we had a discussion about what Sam has been doing. 529 00:47:27,500 --> 00:47:37,900 You can get ready for this probable, if it happens, maybe horrific, El Nino, but please watch 530 00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:49,660 that show because you could see how much for Sam has done with that money and so it was a very 531 00:47:49,660 --> 00:47:59,660 good thorough list raising the burn so that we won't get overflow into the electric building. 532 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:06,520 Kishan is looking at some material that we may be able to use to put in front of the door, 533 00:48:06,740 --> 00:48:10,600 so if the water seal, if the water hits it, it will seal the door. 534 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:22,480 Um, uh, happened bay ordered some and so vision is looking into it for that. Um, so we've been 535 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:33,240 Sam itself has been doing a lot. It talked about our, uh, uh, uh, manhole covers and how they have 536 00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:39,460 gone through and put in electronic ones that can gauge the flow of the water and protect water from 537 00:48:39,460 --> 00:48:46,920 waiting in. To the manholes, they replaced all the manholes that used to have holes in them 538 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:53,380 so you could lift them up easily with a pride bar. Those have all been replaced with solid caps. 539 00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:01,140 That stuff's the water running on the street from going into the sewer system. 540 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:09,060 And so there's just a whole bunch of little things that was very, very well done. 541 00:49:09,460 --> 00:49:21,460 discussion and either say I can't emphasize enough that you will get a great deal of comfort 542 00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:30,000 from watching it because we came within a mirror several inches of losing our entire system 543 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:41,340 three years ago. And it would have taken enormous amounts of money and time to repair it. 544 00:49:41,460 --> 00:49:42,840 Had we lost the electrons? 545 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:53,000 It's really briefly about the same board members. I watched the City Council meeting Tuesday night, 546 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:59,580 and they had their DPW thought I'd give a report and he ordered palatized, already pre-filled sandbags 547 00:49:59,580 --> 00:50:01,200 for their corporation yard. 548 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:06,940 They also have just plain sandbags for their public yard 549 00:50:06,940 --> 00:50:08,220 that you can fill yourself. 550 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,800 But they have them, so in case there's an emergency, 551 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,500 they could bring them right to a spot. 552 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:20,160 And I guess when I heard that I did watch the Sandboard video, 553 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:26,200 sounded as if the timid it sounded as if the electrical room 554 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,580 is still possibly could be flooded. 555 00:50:28,580 --> 00:50:32,880 So maybe get a pallet of sandbags just in case, who knows? 556 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:37,700 Yeah. 557 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:56,360 I'll just start by saying that we've had a long run to get to the point where we could get underway on the IPS repair project at scale. 558 00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:07,900 and Monday night we approved a number of okay to go, okay to contract, okay to spend money on 559 00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:18,000 on the right of elements of what that's gonna take. So, things are going and we were again, 560 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:25,080 we're in a situation where we were obligated to be complete with the work by a next summer, 561 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:37,760 but our staff negotiated with the ERF's group that sued the agreed to change that to give time to get instead of just one year. 562 00:51:37,980 --> 00:51:41,000 Two years to get the work done really well. 563 00:51:41,260 --> 00:51:47,960 So we don't run the risk of doing work during the early wet season of our things can go pretty bad pretty quickly. 564 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:52,280 So I think it's very well worth out the, 565 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,020 everything's gave them their way. 566 00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:56,100 It is all extensive. 567 00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:00,000 So it's worth, it's worth numbers. 568 00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:01,620 I'm gonna say it's worth, thinking, 569 00:52:01,780 --> 00:52:02,840 look at where everybody's going 570 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,380 and just how big the money is 571 00:52:04,380 --> 00:52:07,400 and what it costs, you know, per foot. 572 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,300 To do what hourly rates are, 573 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,180 what how many people it takes to get the work done, 574 00:52:14,460 --> 00:52:17,000 what kind of people it takes to get the work done. 575 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,660 there's all sorts of things going on. 576 00:52:21,140 --> 00:52:25,080 And if you look at the sound at the same agenda for Monday night, 577 00:52:25,980 --> 00:52:27,520 then just look at the things that we approve. 578 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,980 You might find at least one thing on there you're going to go. 579 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:39,120 So I didn't know he had to do that. He was all part of doing a big project and especially a project that's going to span probably 18 months. So it's terrific. 580 00:52:39,780 --> 00:52:52,360 He had just been a lot of work to get to where we're all agreed to send money, but we have three English authority, you see, all the green to do this. So here we go. 581 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:59,900 Great. And I'll agree, Catherine, we point about the staff, review of all of the places 582 00:52:59,900 --> 00:53:05,500 where they've been doing all this work. It's very visual, it's informative, it's fun, it's 583 00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:12,980 sort of into the meeting. And I recommend it, I'm going to watch it again with some good stuff. 584 00:53:14,220 --> 00:53:21,120 So I guess it was good timing. It was a very pleasant and very quick sandwich. 585 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:29,540 It was part of good. Let's go to the Coast Community Council. Anything about it, just please. 586 00:53:29,660 --> 00:53:36,720 I'm going to go to the meeting because I was sleeping a lot after I got back for the bomb desert. 587 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,560 But in fact, I might have even still been there. I don't remember. 588 00:53:41,300 --> 00:53:47,780 But I did look at their agenda and it mostly talked about GCSD and their parks. 589 00:53:47,780 --> 00:54:02,380 And it's a very bottom of the thing, the, well, they did also talk about the oversized vehicle parking restrictions on cap to strung our road, and they were hoping that expand that to other neighborhoods. 590 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:12,000 You guys all know what that is, right? So I need to talk about it, artbees, parking, unappropriated lands. 591 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,760 And then I didn't go, so I didn't have to watch to me or anything. 592 00:54:18,420 --> 00:54:24,800 It does say I am a C, at 825, they were going to talk about the Montero Water Sanitary Discrete 593 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:31,440 Sponsored Community Outreach in response to letters they got about sealed code, and they 594 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:36,560 want the MWSC to attend an MCC meeting and provide updates. 595 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:41,520 I don't know if they talked about it or said you guys are a letter, that's all I have on 596 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,700 but I did have some other meetings I went to. 597 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,540 Let's move to the agenda. 598 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,600 The USDA report report. 599 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,480 We reported on the most recent improvements. 600 00:54:53,580 --> 00:54:57,400 And the most recent CSDA meeting was Monday. 601 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,780 And that was where we had the Office of Emergency Services 602 00:55:03,780 --> 00:55:10,100 present and I'll be here. I will send the claimant to copy of the presentation so he's 603 00:55:10,100 --> 00:55:11,560 been put in on our website. 604 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:35,070 LACO, we were working on two issues that involve fears of influence and one is the 605 00:55:35,070 --> 00:55:38,790 I forgot in the name of it now, but it's a strip of land in 606 00:55:38,790 --> 00:55:46,670 Atherton that has been a drainage area, and it has some issues on funding. 607 00:55:47,570 --> 00:55:53,190 This lack of the vehicle license fees is hurting all of the special districts, 608 00:55:53,510 --> 00:55:56,810 including those that take care of these drainage facilities, 609 00:55:59,470 --> 00:56:00,890 where in the 610 00:56:00,890 --> 00:56:07,250 100 years ago when they were building all these neighborhoods they were just running the 611 00:56:07,250 --> 00:56:19,310 crease under pipes and now with what real drainage problems. And so trying to sort out who's responsible 612 00:56:19,310 --> 00:56:22,950 for what and who pays for what that's what the spirit was. 613 00:56:25,090 --> 00:56:28,810 So we're going to be the staff 614 00:56:28,810 --> 00:56:34,290 is going to be doing a report on the, for the November meeting. 615 00:56:37,090 --> 00:56:38,770 The Attorney's Report, they're seeing. 616 00:56:38,790 --> 00:56:40,650 I have three things to talk about. 617 00:56:40,930 --> 00:56:42,390 No, we're working our way through the report. 618 00:56:44,530 --> 00:56:46,430 Thank you, President Boyd. 619 00:56:47,190 --> 00:56:50,990 I do have a report and, coincidentally, enough. 620 00:56:51,210 --> 00:56:52,410 It's about fire prevention. 621 00:56:54,410 --> 00:57:01,910 So, I wanted to briefly alert the board to a development concerning wild-fired, defensible 622 00:57:01,910 --> 00:57:07,330 space requirements that ultimately may affect district facilities. 623 00:57:08,870 --> 00:57:17,230 In 2020, the legislature enacted AB-374, maybe some of you are familiar with it, it directed 624 00:57:17,230 --> 00:57:31,430 the state forestry and fire protection board to establish a new zone zero. So that's the one before the zones 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I think there are maybe six. 625 00:57:31,430 --> 00:57:40,630 And the zone zero is an ember resistant area within the first five feet around certain structures. 626 00:57:41,670 --> 00:57:56,250 The purpose is to reduce the risk that windblown embers will ignite vegetation or combustible materials immediately adjacent to a structure and then spread fire. 627 00:57:56,250 --> 00:58:03,610 So, although the legislation was enacted over five years ago, the detailed implementing 628 00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:06,530 regulations have been delayed. 629 00:58:06,570 --> 00:58:12,690 They're supposed to be developed by the Department of Forestry and the Fire Marshall, and 630 00:58:12,690 --> 00:58:20,570 they've missed a few deadlines, but apparently in August, the Board of Forestry finally 631 00:58:20,570 --> 00:58:28,490 approved these regulations and they're now before the OA, the Office of Administrative Law, 632 00:58:28,610 --> 00:58:34,790 but they're not yet effective. If and when they do become effective, the regulations again 633 00:58:34,790 --> 00:58:42,570 generally restrict combustible materials within a five feet radius around a building or facilities, 634 00:58:43,610 --> 00:58:50,510 they apply differently depending on whether property is located in a state responsibility area 635 00:58:50,510 --> 00:59:01,010 or within a very high fire hazards varies zone. Parts of Montana, maybe must be, I believe 636 00:59:01,010 --> 00:59:05,410 I haven't checked these in a while, are located within those two areas. 637 00:59:08,090 --> 00:59:10,270 So, we may be subject 638 00:59:10,270 --> 00:59:19,230 to the five-foot rule implementation of whatever requirements that we may be required to perform. 639 00:59:19,230 --> 00:59:22,670 We'll probably be phased over a number of years. 640 00:59:23,790 --> 00:59:29,590 And so the long and short of it is, even though we're a special district, it doesn't create 641 00:59:29,590 --> 00:59:36,450 any regulatory or enforcement responsibility on our part because we're not the local fire 642 00:59:36,450 --> 00:59:46,470 protection agency, Coast Cites, but the potential significance to MWSD is as an owner and 643 00:59:46,470 --> 00:59:53,610 operator facilities located in the district if they are located within these certain areas 644 00:59:53,610 --> 00:59:58,750 we will have to make sure that we comply with the five-foot rule. 645 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:24,380 So the staff and I will continue to monitor the regulations as that you can find, final, once they're effective, and the state issues, implementation guidance, it would be appropriate for the district to identify facilities that are located in these areas, 646 01:00:24,380 --> 01:00:31,950 pump stations, tanks, buildings, equipment structures. So we'll keep you updated on that. 647 01:00:33,060 --> 01:00:39,220 I think this was, even though this was enacted in 2020, the legislation, 648 01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:47,920 there's been such a long delay to get these regulations in place. They missed a 2023 deadline 649 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:56,320 and then a 2024, but I think it was the trigger for pushing it now was probably the specific 650 01:00:56,320 --> 01:01:02,040 palicates fire. And so I think the governor's office probably put some pressure on 651 01:01:03,660 --> 01:01:09,960 the state departments in charge of this. Oh, that's all I have. Thank you. 652 01:01:10,820 --> 01:01:17,900 I've got a question. You said it's some parts of Monterey and Lassterey and Lassterey 653 01:01:17,900 --> 01:01:25,500 My hybrid area is there existing masks right now and where would we find that on the state fire 654 01:01:25,500 --> 01:01:31,260 Marshall website it's if you just type that into Google it'll take you there and it's 655 01:01:31,260 --> 01:01:35,880 pretty easy to navigate to the fire zones you type in an address you can even type in 656 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:43,980 Montana and then zoom in and out they're all color coded it's pretty pretty easy and interesting 657 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:54,400 So, through the chair on zone zero, you can also type in zone zero and find out what their guidelines are. 658 01:01:55,040 --> 01:02:04,860 And one of the main important things to note for our district is that you can't have any wood products around the perimeter. 659 01:02:04,860 --> 01:02:16,800 If you have wood chips or a bark chips, you have to remove those and have rabble, or concrete, or flex, stone, or something, right up against the perimeter of a building. 660 01:02:17,860 --> 01:02:34,460 So I already have that in my house, but some people have bushes in front of their house and anything combustible like that has to be trimmed back. You can have perennials, but you can't even have anything with wood stocky wood stems. 661 01:02:34,860 --> 01:02:45,240 In fact, some succulents don't even qualify, but I'm just thinking back in what she's talking about. 662 01:02:46,620 --> 01:02:49,920 So, you can go on the website and see all the things they've already got. 663 01:02:50,020 --> 01:02:52,600 A whole list of what's available for a sound zero. 664 01:02:52,780 --> 01:02:58,640 The main thing is not to have ladder fuel that will go up to your eaves and catch the whole darn house on fire. 665 01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:05,640 And we recently had a really bad fire in Monterey on Grant Road, and there's like an $80,000 666 01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:12,040 or a go-fun me for the family that got, you know, displaced by anybody. 667 01:03:12,780 --> 01:03:14,280 You speak moving into the direction. 668 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:14,840 Okay. 669 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:17,780 I've got three things. 670 01:03:18,500 --> 01:03:21,040 I did go to the Board of Supervisors while he'd go. 671 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,000 I was on Zoom Tuesday. 672 01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:28,520 And one of the things, they're going to propose. 673 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:36,400 shortly, they're going to have a government location here on the coast finally, and it will be a 674 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:45,000 combination facility which might have some, you know, a refuse place for emergency evacuation, 675 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:51,740 maybe some place to go in and apply for your permits, that sort of thing. They haven't picked 676 01:03:51,740 --> 01:03:58,640 spot and they are going to race that he was going to have a meeting to have people weigh in of 677 01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:05,800 different parcels that they're going to think about putting it in. And then today I went to 678 01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:12,640 Jack and Spears event of seniors on the move and one of the speakers was our 679 01:04:13,460 --> 01:04:19,240 Steve Wax staff, who's the San Mateo County District Attorney, and he did mention check 680 01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:24,000 washing and, you know, scams that seniors get, and one of the things they said is that 681 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:30,260 some of the checks get, they have a fraud prevention thing at the county because of people 682 01:04:30,260 --> 01:04:42,620 stealing checks, that even county checks gets stolen. So that might be why you couldn't have 683 01:04:42,620 --> 01:04:49,160 City Council, I went on Wednesday, at Tuesday night they had their meaning and they still have 684 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:56,820 a deficit but it's improving because they have better TOT and tax revenues and stuff like 685 01:04:56,820 --> 01:05:04,760 that but they still have a deficit. However, they did both themselves healthcare for the city leaders, 686 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:11,420 what do you call it? City Council members are going to get healthcare and they dropped their 687 01:05:13,420 --> 01:05:15,060 What do you call it, 688 01:05:17,290 --> 01:05:22,430 thing with the ALPRs, they're not going to have flock to their cameras anymore, 689 01:05:22,510 --> 01:05:24,670 but the mid coast gets to keep theirs. 690 01:05:25,130 --> 01:05:31,170 They're not going to have their contract anymore with the automatic license plate readers. 691 01:05:32,510 --> 01:05:34,270 And that's it. 692 01:05:34,910 --> 01:05:36,230 Any other directors? 693 01:05:38,780 --> 01:05:39,320 All right. 694 01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:41,880 See, General Manager of the board. 695 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,880 nothing on top of the written report.
