1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
It's Tuesday, December 15th, it's 7.01. That's on to a roll call.

2
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Okay, declaration of posting of the agenda.

3
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
You did a husband posted for the government code.

4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Great. Everyone, pledge of allegiance?

5
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,000
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States.

6
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:59,000
I'm sorry, my daughter is spending money.

7
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Is there any public comment?

8
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:15,000
So, checking our attendees list, oh, you know what?

9
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
I think I am going to be able to bring in.

10
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
It looks like Craig is an attendee.

11
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Yeah, I just added in.

12
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Just realize that.

13
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Chair van Killing, are you there?

14
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
There he is.

15
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:57,000
You're muted.

16
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Yeah.

17
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
I guess you got on mute yourself from me to handle the gavel Craig.

18
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
There you go.

19
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Sorry guys, apologize.

20
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000
I finished the pledge and now we're seeing if there's public comment.

21
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Thank you.

22
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
And I do not see any actually members of the public on the Zoom.

23
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,000
So, I'm assuming there's no public comment.

24
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Wow, you guys did that all in two minutes, excellent.

25
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
All right, let's see here.

26
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,000
We have a community services director report.

27
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Thank you, Mr. Chair, just a brief report tonight.

28
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Just to provide an update on Parks and Recreation through our COVID-19 experience.

29
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:05,000
As I'm sure everyone's aware, we are under the state home order of the state implemented by the county.

30
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000
And we're pretty similar to where we were last month all of the week.

31
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:21,000
We're still offering swimming and outdoor fitness at the Centennial Recreation Center and Aquatic Center with the condition at the CRC fitness.

32
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:30,000
It's 100% masking based on the new state home order except for those with medical exemptions or disability exemption.

33
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Our CRC membership is actually about 50% of what it was before COVID, which is not terrible.

34
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Our parks are still seeing good use a little bit less use than we were seeing during the summer.

35
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Pretty much all areas of parks are currently open.

36
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:55,000
I think you probably saw on the news originally the state home order required playgrounds to be closed and then a day later the playgrounds could be open.

37
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:05,000
So we close the playgrounds and then reopen the playgrounds all of the areas have signage and for the required modifications and directions for people.

38
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:23,000
We don't see too many people actually in the parks that are that are not following the social distancing or masking requirements with one exception, which is our skate park, which we've been trying to work with the users for the last week.

39
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:44,000
To get some sort of compliance but it's not possible so we will be closing the skate park unfortunately starting tomorrow just just made that decision because there's just a whole slew of adults and youth in there all standing next to each other completely unmasked.

40
00:04:44,000 --> 00:05:00,000
The other other updates just the city city and general trying to support our businesses downtown is you've seen we've been working in that area quite a bit as well as businesses across the way with streamlined permitting and that sort of thing.

41
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
But the recent orders and the cold weather are just a huge struggle for our restaurants and businesses.

42
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:18,000
The city's doing work for trying our best and I know the restaurants and businesses are trying their best but it's just a pretty difficult.

43
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Our sales even our operations are now impacted by COVID-19 not just because we have employees that test positive but we also have people who have close contacts with people who test positive so it's reducing and when that happens people are out of work so it's depleting our.

44
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:46,000
The ability to provide service especially in the areas of maintenance and we're trying to to go to basic services so you might see things a little bit less maintained that before.

45
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
But we're all we're doing okay just like no different than most other cities around.

46
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,000
That concludes my report and be happy to take any questions anyone might have.

47
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
You know.

48
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Good question.

49
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Chris not to put you on the spot you can tell us at a later time but just kind of wondering what's the fiscal impact of CRC membership.

50
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Couldn't have.

51
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
So it's not just that fiscal impact of the CRC membership cut in half.

52
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Because it's also all the other programs we can't often offer as well as the rentals but we're thinking we are we are about.

53
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:35,000
One point nine million dollars down from what we projected for budget what that's what will be at your end.

54
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:46,000
So it's a pretty big impact for us it's it's big in recreation because we are almost full cost recovery but recreation we're pretty far down.

55
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:56,000
And that's but we we do have expensive savings so we are we are doing quite a bit there as well.

56
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Yeah but overall okay.

57
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Is the 1.9 a net number then or is that the revenue number.

58
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:13,000
And that actually the 1.9 is kind of worst case scenario if things open sooner it could be a little bit better but that's a net not a gross.

59
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:19,000
So that's after the savings we have and then the revenue being down.

60
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Thank you.

61
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Any other questions.

62
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:33,000
All right thank you very much Chris we have emotionally adopt the agenda.

63
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
I moved to adopt the agenda.

64
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Second.

65
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
All in favor.

66
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
I.

67
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000
I.

68
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Be opposed any extensions.

69
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
All right.

70
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
The agenda's been adopted.

71
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Okay first item of business.

72
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
We have emotionally approve the October 20 and 20 meeting next.

73
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Please.

74
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Thanks.

75
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
I motion we approve it.

76
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Second.

77
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Second.

78
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
All right.

79
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,000
All right.

80
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Any discussion.

81
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Seeing none all in favor.

82
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000
I.

83
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,000
I.

84
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
And I opposed.

85
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,000
I wasn't there.

86
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Any extensions.

87
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Thank you.

88
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
That motion passes.

89
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
There we have a report.

90
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000
I assume with regard to the community based transportation plan.

91
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Yeah.

92
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
I'll give you a short report.

93
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Reef introduction.

94
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
I'm going to turn it over to John.

95
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
It's a money from the VTA.

96
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000
So in 2019 and this has been delayed a little bit.

97
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:49,000
The VTA actually reached out to us because they received funding grant funding to do a community based transportation plan for Morgan Hill.

98
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000
So John and his team have been the ones leading that planning process.

99
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Completely involved us from the city perspective from the South perspective and also did considerable.

100
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Community outreach through.

101
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Through Morgan Hill.

102
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
And various areas.

103
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,000
And pretty will probably at least not be your delayed and getting this to you all.

104
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
But that is really because of COVID and other priorities.

105
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,000
But the draft plan is attached for your review and John's going to walk walk you through that.

106
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:27,000
And what we'd be looking for tonight is a recommendation on adoption of the plan by the city council.

107
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
We'll see it in January.

108
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
With that, I'll turn it over to you, John.

109
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Anything you need, everyone?

110
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
I'm John Sugami.

111
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
I'm a planner at the VTA.

112
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:44,000
As Chris mentioned, the city and VTA both worked on developing a community based transportation plan.

113
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,000
I have a short PowerPoint slide deck.

114
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
I'll share with you.

115
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
And as Chris mentioned, you do have the report in your packet.

116
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:00,000
When your commissioner is David Lobato was actually one of our leads on community outreach on the project.

117
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
So he was involved as well.

118
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000
So we want to give him a shout out for that.

119
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,000
So let me go ahead and share my screen.

120
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Can you guys see the presentation?

121
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Yes.

122
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:31,000
And so basically the community based transportation plan is a product of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, which has the role in funding projects.

123
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:46,000
And one of the funding sources that they have is the Lifeline Transportation Program, which goes to do studies for community based transportation plans, as well as sometimes fund operations for other transit agencies.

124
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000
In the past, we've done quite a few of these community based transportation plans.

125
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:56,000
However, as you know, on some of the dates on some of the plans here, there are a little bit old now.

126
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:06,000
So what the process will start again is that once we finish this community based transportation plan will then begin to kind of update the other previous ones.

127
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:13,000
And the hope is after a few years, we'll go back and revisit the Morgan Hill community based transportation plan.

128
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,000
And to update it based on conditions, as well as we'll have an opportunity to go back out to the public.

129
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,000
And after a few years and go, these are the projects that we identified as part of the plan.

130
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
If the conditions are right, we can change some of those projects.

131
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:35,000
And if we complete some of those projects that I'll go through later on, that's not something you need to do that as well.

132
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,000
And the goals of the CBTP are actually two-fold here.

133
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,000
They are to improve access and mobility for low-income and undeserved community.

134
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000
So the basis of doing a community based transportation plan is actually focused on low-income and minority communities.

135
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:04,000
And as an opportunity to engage those residents and community organizations in doing some analysis and devising some of the recommendations in the former projects.

136
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
And the former projects and programs.

137
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:17,000
So on the project management team, we actually had not only the city in Morgan Hill, but the Chamber of Commerce, John from the Chamber of Commerce, was a part of this process.

138
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:27,000
And we actually collaborated with quite a few groups within Morgan Hill and actually used those groups to help us reach out to the community.

139
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,000
And in fact, one of the things that we did, in the past one of the ways to do public outreach for us,

140
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:43,000
was to have a couple public meetings, get feedback, we may get 10 or 20 people at the most, and then we kind of go back and do the report.

141
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:51,000
However, this time around what we did, which we decided to talk to a lot of these collaborators and figure out what's the best way to reach out to the public.

142
00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:01,000
We did have a public meeting, but we also went out to various affordable housing complexes, senior center, senior groups that were meeting.

143
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,000
And we also tried to reach out to some of the nonprofits within Morgan Hill.

144
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:14,000
In terms of what a community concern is, NTC actually identified these locations within the map.

145
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Now, the locations that NTC chose were based on old census data.

146
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And look, the communities of concern as of 2020 may be a little different than what you're seeing here on the map.

147
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:36,000
NTC is actually working on a process to update the definition of communities of concern, and they intend to update the map in 2021.

148
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,000
But for the most part, there was a small segment within Morgan Hill that fell within that definition.

149
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:56,000
And from the map here, one thing I'd like to share is that, if I can point right over here, there was this little section here that was considered a community of concern.

150
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Well, a lot of the project effort actually focused on some of those locations.

151
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:12,000
What we then did was we then went back to NTC and said, you know what, it doesn't make any sense to use such a small section to look at improvements.

152
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:28,000
And what they allowed us to do was to expand our sphere of influence for Morgan Hill, so it included the entire city boundary of Morgan Hill as well as kind of some segments right outside the city limits.

153
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:35,000
What we did find out was some of the people that lives kind of in the county or in unincorporated portions of the area.

154
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,000
They considered themselves Morgan Hill residents, so we did include some of those folks as well.

155
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Some of the locations that we did reach out to were in these areas.

156
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
As Chris mentioned, we were delayed a little bit.

157
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:56,000
In fact, the project manager for the project is not is in a different department at BTA.

158
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:01,000
So we were kind of moving forward to kind of wrapping this up early part of the year.

159
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Here, when COVID happened, we had to go back and we had the other things to do and think it's time to get messed up for a little bit for kind of gut use of the normal that COVID has right now.

160
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:20,000
And then now we're coming back to kind of finalize our report and do a final report to the city council in January.

161
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:27,000
As I mentioned, one of the things we hope to do as part of this is to actually come back in a few years time and revisit some of the things that we outlined here.

162
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:35,000
And then kind of go back and see if there are changes that need to be made and if they're kind of refresh the plan.

163
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:49,000
One of the things we did was kind of highlight location or communities that within Morgan Hill, we did find out that there's a big segment of the population and minority population that was Asian and Hispanic origin.

164
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000
So we did prior best when we did our survey to have it in multiple languages.

165
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:04,000
And again, we did go to different locations where in some cases where if it was an affordable housing complex that had a large number of Latino residents,

166
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:13,000
we had someone from the actual complex, translate our presentations into Spanish.

167
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:31,000
And this just another chart that just kind of shows within the census tract, the percentage of limited English speaking households was about 7% in terms of the city market hill that was about 4% but a lot of that was in that census tract.

168
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:38,000
And in terms of poverty level, the census tract was well below kind of the cities average as well as the county average.

169
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:48,000
And the number of folks that were in living below poverty was actually 10% within that census tract in the city market hill.

170
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Some of the outreach message that we did was kind of do focus group meetings.

171
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
That was probably the best way to reach out to folks.

172
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,000
As I mentioned, we did have public meeting that wasn't very well attended.

173
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:11,000
However, we felt like because we went through all these different venues to talk about it, we did get a lot of feedback from that.

174
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:21,000
We also did a lot of social media and partner posts and David actually helped out a lot with some of the dissemination of information by a Facebook or a detailed website.

175
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:33,000
We did one of the big things we did was release a survey that actually had questions kind of asking folks in Morgan Hill or some of the improvements that they would request.

176
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Some of the other things that we did, as you see, David over here, we did do a little table and table laying at the Morgan Hill business expo in the senior nutrition program and we had numerous meetings with city staff.

177
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:56,000
And this graphic is something that we just kind of put here that kind of shows the amount of outreach that we did.

178
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:04,000
One of the things that was hard was to try to reach everyone that we could, but we did the best we could.

179
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:11,000
A lot of folks actually took our survey via email and we had various drop boxes around the city.

180
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:20,000
If when we handed out physical copies of the survey, they were able to drop it off at the city hall.

181
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:30,000
And some of the results that we got from the work from the CVTP, we asked some of the transportation challenges and concerns.

182
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Of course, number one was, I find bus coverage within the city.

183
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
As folks know, we're in a government pandemic.

184
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,000
VTA has to make some decisions on reducing service.

185
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:49,000
I know in the city of Morgan Hill I think I believe the 68 is the only line that you have right now that's going through.

186
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:55,000
The other area that we saw a lot of comments on was kind of.

187
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Seven months of the population having difficulty crossing the street.

188
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:07,000
The speed of cars was it was a big issue of having pedestrian improvements was big.

189
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:15,000
When we went to the youth advisory council here, a lot of them felt that they felt unsafe biking.

190
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,000
A lot of it had to do with the absence of bike lanes.

191
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Also another part where we heard a lot from the public was traffic addition on U.S. 101 at the time.

192
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:36,000
And during commute hours and there was a discussion about a freeway project that could widen 101.

193
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:47,000
And another thing we heard was the limit availability of these, you know, bike share, scooter share, Uber on demand kind of service.

194
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
There weren't many particular projects that could come out with that.

195
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,000
There was just one of the things that we heard as part of our outreach process.

196
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:03,000
And so gathering kind of the feedback from the various ways we did it.

197
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,000
We worked with the city and other partners to develop a set of projects.

198
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,000
And those projects, you know, kind of vary from highway, local street, bike and pad to transit.

199
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:21,000
And once we identified what those projects were and a lot of the times there were projects that were in the city's general plan.

200
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
The county is expressway steady.

201
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000
VTA's own planning efforts in our highway program.

202
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
And when we did that, what we did was we kind of separated out the projects.

203
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:39,000
And when I get to the project list, I don't have them separated by the way of the criteria and how they're listed here.

204
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,000
However, what we had to do was identify, you know, what projects we can do.

205
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Did you see?

206
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
What did you get grant funding for those projects?

207
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000
What's the best way that we can implement them?

208
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Are there community benefits to them and what's the timeline?

209
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:05,000
So that the biggest thing was, what are the projects we can do in a short-term timeframe, which is zero to three years?

210
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000
And a mid to long timeframe, which is about four to six years.

211
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,000
And anything long-term was six years or more.

212
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000
And so some of the projects in terms of local roads and highways.

213
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:28,000
One of the projects that was big was these panetaries at L-Cortor, road and trail between Duitt and Maine.

214
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:34,000
You see a black check box right next to it because over time we were able to fund the project.

215
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
That project is actually under the lead of Santa Clara County.

216
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
It's part of their expressway study.

217
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,000
And they were able to get measure B funding from VTA to do that project.

218
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,000
There's a signalized sanctuary and Watsonville at the intersection.

219
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
There's another signalization project that's actually being done.

220
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
That's why you see a black check mark.

221
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
That's another project that the county is actually doing.

222
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
And they got funding for it.

223
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Some of the other projects that we see here is kind of the phase two of, you know, the trail and road work on San Teresa and the Hill corridor.

224
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Again, another big one is the expansion of 101, adding one expressway through Morgan Hill.

225
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:29,000
I would like to say that for that project, that was actually submitted as a project as part of the regional long range transportation plan.

226
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,000
That the Metropolitan Transportation Commission has a project thus far.

227
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:46,000
And there's various signal timing projects for a regional traffic and on our trivial streets that have been identified by the city that can alleviate some of the challenges that people are seeing.

228
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
In terms of bike and pad programs.

229
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000
There's intersection improvement program.

230
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,000
That's actually part of the transportation element of the general plan.

231
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:05,000
And there's various city wide pedestrian safety improvement projects along various streets in Morgan Hill that have been identified.

232
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,000
There's safety improvements for some of the school children here.

233
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:18,000
The main avenue bike lane sidewalk project that's a project that the city Morgan Hill got a grant to do is going to be doing.

234
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,000
As well as the Modron channel trail, which is something that I believe the city Morgan Hill.

235
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Working with the water district and other state grant funds was able to establish some funding for.

236
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
And there's the little Yagas Creek trail project.

237
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000
There's various phases of that project, some of which are funded.

238
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:46,000
But there's some other sections that are not funded that the city will work with both VTA, the state and the water district to fund some of that.

239
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:55,000
And the safe route school program implementation, which is really trying to find a coordinator to manage that program for the city.

240
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
And those are some of the things that we identified.

241
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:04,000
In terms of public transportation, there's a pilot program that VTA is working on.

242
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000
It's to look at their paratransit service and make improvements to it.

243
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,000
So they were supposedly running a pilot program beginning at the start of the year.

244
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,000
However, I think that's been put on hold for now.

245
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,000
But the funding is done through VTA's existing budget, so that's paid for.

246
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,000
So when the conditions get better, they're able to do that.

247
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
There's a mobility assistance program.

248
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:32,000
That's another pilot project that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission has funded fully.

249
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,000
That project is actually going to get started in 2021.

250
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:46,000
The Cooper Start program, which is a means-based fair discount program pilot, but also be underway fairly soon.

251
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
And that, again, is funded through MTC.

252
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
They're actually managing the program.

253
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And it's actually for fairs for things like CalTrained Service.

254
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Then there's a volunteer driver program that can be funded.

255
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:08,000
And this is one of the projects that actually came out of our interaction with some of the senior housing folks.

256
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,000
And looking to do that.

257
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:15,000
And in order to have that, you need about 100,000 annually to do that.

258
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:21,000
So we'll work with the City of Morgan Hill to find some way to fund that.

259
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Then the final two, Morgan Hill Transit and many of these improvement project.

260
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,000
That is actually a project that's fully funded through VTA.

261
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
That's going to look at updating all the bus stops.

262
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:40,000
In fact, we met with both Chris and Edith Ramirez to look at some locations where we can make some improvements to the bus stops.

263
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:48,000
And finally, one of the things we also heard was great separation work for CalTrained, high-speed rail, a tenant and done.

264
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,000
And that's about $80 million project.

265
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
And there's no existing funding for that right now.

266
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:01,000
However, it's also on the regional transportation plans project list to get funding in the future.

267
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
What is the checkmark mean again?

268
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Does that mean that it's funded or what?

269
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
The checkmark means it's been funded.

270
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Like, although money has been captured.

271
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000
All I've indicated, but it obviously hasn't started.

272
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Correct.

273
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,000
We're completed.

274
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Okay.

275
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Thank you.

276
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
So the next step, we're just going to finalize the draft that we have in the funding view.

277
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:25,000
We're looking for adoption of the plan by City Council that we'll take it to our VTA board to get it adopted.

278
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,000
And again, as I mentioned, one of the things we'll have to do is revisit the plan again in a few years.

279
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,000
I put five years down, but depending on the timeframe, we can do it sooner if necessary.

280
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:45,000
And the hope is we can look back and see if some of the projects that we listed here, if they've been completed or not completed or there are other priorities that have popped up.

281
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000
We can then go back and make updates to the plan.

282
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,000
And so I'll end my presentation there and stop to see if you have any questions.

283
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Thank you, John.

284
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Do we have any questions of John?

285
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,000
What, I have a question.

286
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:09,000
You know, with the pandemic and I know tax receipts are impacted and you know, this could be a crisp question.

287
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
It could be a combination question.

288
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:17,000
I think a lot of local jurisdictions are expecting an impact to a number of funding sources,

289
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,000
or measure B is the one that BTA controls.

290
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:29,000
What expectation is there that there's a modification to the funding that maybe some of these that are partially funded.

291
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,000
The horizon gets a little bit longer because of the situation that we're in right now.

292
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Yes, this a hard question to answer.

293
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
I'm actually working on the measure B side of things.

294
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:46,000
I know the believe the VTA board has heard some discussion on that in the past few meetings.

295
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:53,000
And I know the technical advisor committee, which is made up of members of all the cities, public works in engineering.

296
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Planning folks are working with VTA to kind of find a solution for what's the best way to do this.

297
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,000
There may be some, you know, so we, you know,

298
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:11,000
one, you know, there may be some decisions made by the VTA board in the coming months that could really determine where we go with measure B.

299
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:18,000
I personally don't know where what that is. It really depends on what the board and it's members want.

300
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,000
I can just add commissioner Scott.

301
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:29,000
That you've probably seen in the newspapers and other areas that, you know,

302
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Bart is going to take the money and there's not going to be money left everyone's seen that discussion too.

303
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
So, so he's been involved in that, which that hasn't been decided yet,

304
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
but there's a lot of a lot of discussion going on with that.

305
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:49,000
For us specifically in Morgan Hill, so we have, we are in contract for the Hill Avenue extension money.

306
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:57,000
That's the only county expressway money that's allocated for Morgan Hill within the measure.

307
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
So we already are in contract with that.

308
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,000
The city is so we have that secured. It's already been allocated.

309
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,000
So we don't have a lot of other projects that are written into the measure to be funded,

310
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:15,000
except for our local roads funding, which is a big concern for us if that drops that's close to a million dollars a year for us,

311
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000
actually 800,000, that we get to maintain our streets.

312
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:24,000
And if we, and we actually use, as you've seen in some of the things when we fix our streets,

313
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
we actually fix our bike lanes and everything else at the same time.

314
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
So it makes a big difference.

315
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Yeah.

316
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
So if that funding is reduced, then we go.

317
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:39,000
That we actually have a 1.5 million dollar grant.

318
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:46,000
We just applied for under the innovative transit for from measure B, which would, you know,

319
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:52,000
support some of the mobility into in through the city, the public transportation.

320
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:00,000
So there's, and then all the trail grants and the other grants that John had talked about for potential funding in the future.

321
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,520
If that funding is out there, then we won't be able to apply for that.

322
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,920
So there's impacts, but our major project is kind of locked in.

323
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,000
I'm glad to hear that the city is fully aware of it.

324
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:18,720
Thank you. Are there any other questions?

325
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:24,640
John, I had a quick question. I know we said five years ago to revisit this plan, but with a lot

326
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:31,200
of new housing and infrastructure changes going out with Morgan Hill, that fluid, that five-year revisit,

327
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,200
because Morgan Hill will definitely be looking different.

328
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,600
Yes, I think population in four or five years.

329
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:43,200
That's really up to us, because we secured money from MNTC to do these community-based

330
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,600
transportation plans. It's really up to us when we want to come back and look at it. We

331
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,960
could do it sooner, too, if we want.

332
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:57,960
I would add one thing that we're hoping to kick off this fiscal year is an update to the

333
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:04,120
city's general plan. Circulation element will also call that our transportation master plan.

334
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:10,720
And the hope is that that will include much more in the ways of bikeways and pedestrians, so

335
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,720
the PRC would be involved in that as we get moving forward on that project, too, which would

336
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:21,840
be another set forward and moving some of these projects along and getting them formally

337
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,280
in some of the planning documents for the city.

338
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:30,440
Another thing I would just add, too, in terms of funding, there is the Metropolitan Transportation

339
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:35,640
Commission is actually working on the next release of the one-day area grant. It's just kind

340
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:43,000
of a combination of grants that go towards projects related to local streets and roads, bike and

341
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,920
pad, and areas that are called priority development areas. Those are locations that are

342
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:56,840
city-nominated spots within the city limits that have a lot of transit, bus service and things

343
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:02,320
like that. So, there's funding coming in the new year that some of these projects can also look

344
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:09,760
forward from MTC that are not related to any measures here, so that funding will come out.

345
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:15,240
So, I think, let's say it's spring of 2021.

346
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:20,000
Kind of a build-up of what David was saying, and I apologize for not reading the whole report before

347
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:26,080
the meeting. But, you know, what kind of projections are there if they even exist for transit

348
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:32,760
ridership as city-expans? And I think we're trying to build a downtown and kind of the post-COVID

349
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:39,480
world, is the viability of VTA and the projections looking ahead? Is it better? Is it look

350
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,680
better in the future? Or is it just like, it's just too hard to tell right now?

351
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:48,200
It's really too hard to tell right now, because I think one of the things that we do know is that obviously

352
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:55,880
this pandemic has created a new normal for everyone. And there is still, our ridership has gone down

353
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:03,320
just like every other transit agency here in the Bay Area. The challenge is getting operational,

354
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:10,680
operations, funding, funding, bus service throughout all parts of the county. And each transit

355
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,800
authority is actually dealing with that same crisis. We did get the CARES Act money that gave us some

356
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:25,080
additional operating revenue for the next couple of years to pursue bus service. However, before COVID

357
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,560
happened, we're actually in the process of implementing a new transit service plan. Obviously, we COVID

358
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:35,000
could do that. And so unfortunately, right now, what we're doing is we were then going to adjust it,

359
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:42,360
which was supposed to be adopted by our board in the early part of 2021. Just increase service,

360
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:51,160
basically, is what you're saying? Or just modify service because of COVID to generate ridership.

361
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:57,160
In some cases, some locations would get the frequent service would stay. I believe in Morgan Hill,

362
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:02,120
there were actually two routes that were going to stay. However, as I said, they were supposed to adopt

363
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:08,440
that the part of the new year, but they put a hold on that for right now. So right now, I think the only

364
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:16,520
bus service Morgan Hill has at this period is the 68 line. The intent originally was to have more frequent

365
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:21,960
service down here. And when COVID that kind of with ridership the way it is, it kind of dropped off.

366
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:27,000
The interesting challenge for transit is what happens after the pandemic? How do you build up

367
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:33,720
the same ridership you had before that? Are people going to be more freaked out about

368
00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:39,640
being in close quarters with other people on a bus or rail or anything? And as you know,

369
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:46,120
caltrane, they're a ridership. I think they lost 90% of their ridership because there's a lot of folks

370
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,600
just commuting in and out. And a lot of those folks are tech workers. I can stay home and work.

371
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:57,320
So there's all these big questions that really kind of, you know, I know that vaccines out

372
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:02,680
once everyone gets vaccinated that's going to take a while. So what happens after that is that's the

373
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,640
big question. We don't know. To people who are going to rush back to transit or is it going to be kind of a

374
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:14,280
slow thing where for the next five years, it's going to be kind of a slow go until people feel comfortable

375
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:19,080
when we get to be in close quarters. So there's really hard to say. Yeah, no, I mean, understanding that

376
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:24,120
kind of we're in a very unique time. Like what's the, how long is this plan viable for? I mean,

377
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:31,560
how long is it relevant? You know, where conditions, I mean, we're in such a we're time right now, right?

378
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:37,240
So like, through the conditions change enough in three years that it needs to be reevaluated and

379
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:42,840
is there a cycle where we will do that? There's really got to us. You know, we can see how the next

380
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:50,520
couple years go. And if, you know, either things are slowly creeping up or not at all we can

381
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:55,400
go ahead and we visit the plan again and say, okay, this is what we identified as projects and programs

382
00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:00,280
are just still viable right now or there are other priorities that need to be accommodated for.

383
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:07,400
One of the things that has been really interesting during the pandemic is that some early studies have shown

384
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:15,240
that high school ridership has gone up and some cities have taken the opportunity to really do

385
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:23,320
complete streets projects within their boundaries. To, in some cases, do a road diet or, you know,

386
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:30,360
or have the ability to actually build more trails or improve bike lanes along actual streets. So

387
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,720
those are kind of some of the things that we can look at in the coming years saying is, do we want to really

388
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:43,080
move over to doing things like that? I have more bike impending access. That's what they have to us.

389
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:52,920
I would, I would just add on the bike impending components. I think those kind of, we have this plan

390
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:58,360
outline several pieces. Our bikes and trails master plan outlines and if we update our transportation

391
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:03,720
plans, we have these other plans that are kind of stepping past each other to keep updating as you

392
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:10,760
saw the check mark next to the main avenue bike lane project. If you drive down main avenue, we have

393
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:17,320
the first really buffered bike lane in the city and that was intentional from some from our previous

394
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:24,280
planning documents and work with our bike advocacy group is that we want to get from target to downtown.

395
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:29,080
So we've completed those buffered bike lanes and we've just finished with the grant funding John talked

396
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:35,160
about paving the major on channel trail north to where target is. It's kind of a big accomplishment for

397
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:41,800
us and those things are still outline to keep moving on the bike and pet program. But to your point

398
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:47,160
on the public transportation, I think it's just it's crazy and I think it's crazy here in Morgan Hill.

399
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:52,520
What we've noticed unlike where you know in the middle of San Jose where you see some of the streets

400
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:57,720
and highways not full at all and it's easy to get around. One of one through Morgan Hill is still

401
00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:02,280
packed and we still have cut through traffic and we're and John knows this because I've been

402
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:07,800
bugging him about statistics and asking him to help me find stats which I think will have early next year

403
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:14,360
from VTA but but we think that there's the some of the workers who can't tell a commute who might be in

404
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:19,640
the support roles. They're coming from the south of us. They're still coming through Morgan Hill and

405
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:25,560
much higher rate. The 68 is still I think it was one of the top buses for having pass ups right where

406
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:32,520
they couldn't pick up everyone and get them on the bus so our north south is is still pretty busy here

407
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:38,120
but then we still have that suburban problem of not having any like east west to connect to those

408
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:44,040
tramp hubs to go north south so it's just it's going to be interesting and we still have I think some of the

409
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:55,080
safe problems we've had all along. Thanks. All right any other comments?

410
00:38:55,080 --> 00:39:01,640
Discussion's questions? All right seeing none I guess Chris you just need a recommendation. You want

411
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:08,520
a motion or do you want Chris? A motion to adopt would be great if you feel appropriate. Sure we have a motion

412
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:18,520
to adopt the report. I'm sorry Mike you're a motion to recommend adoption by the council. A motion to

413
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:25,000
we have a motion to recommend adoption by the council please. Some of the motion to a second.

414
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:35,560
Second we have a second. Second. All right. Any further discussion? Seeing none all in favor? I.

415
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:43,320
Any opposed? Any abstentions? All right that passes. Thank you very much John for your report. We appreciate it.

416
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:50,280
Thank you. Thank you John. Was a motion in the second by I can tell I'm sorry. I made the motion

417
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:59,640
on Neil made this was the second. Okay. Commission work plan updates.

418
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:14,280
Hey I can start with the. Let's just go in order. Okay. Let's see here.

419
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:24,760
Number one get youth more active in parks and recreation. I don't have any thing at the time I can't be

420
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:31,000
meeting with you so we're kind of stopped right now. Okay. Thank you. Number two support

421
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:37,160
bicycle and trails development efforts. Mr. Berman and this for his on for actually.

422
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:47,320
No update on my end there was just a workshop meeting. I'll make with VTAB pack to look at countywide issues.

423
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:55,160
There's a link. Linking looking at maps and such for future future programs. That's what we did last week.

424
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:04,360
Great. Thank you. Do you anything to add? Yeah thank you. Thank you. Support efforts to create an

425
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:12,200
inclusive playground is to the sister of Mr. Berman and Mr. Scott. Okay. The playground has been

426
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:18,440
underground is in. It's been graded and pretty soon just start to see stuff on top of the

427
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:25,880
this guy actually see them actually putting stuff on top of the park and we anticipate an

428
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:37,880
opening sometime between April and May. Is anybody else having to add? All right. Thank you.

429
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:45,960
Well I do want to add one more thing. We are looking for donations for to help us with maintenance

430
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:56,920
and repairs and it's through the city to the city. It's a Morgan Hill.ca.gov slash

431
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:02,120
magical bridge and they go online and make donations for their maintenance and upkeep.

432
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:13,800
Chris has just started that. All right. Support planning for updated sports facilities and

433
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:21,880
partnerships. I have nothing to update Mr. Berman. Do you have anything to update? Okay. I

434
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,760
number five support city and grant opportunities. Mr. Scott or Mr. Berman.

435
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:33,480
No, not nothing. No update. Okay. Thank you. Probably not matter. Be.

436
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:43,960
Number six the last item I believe. Increased volunteer adopt the park program participation. Mr. Scott

437
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:52,360
in Mr. Levato. I want to pay for me. Okay. Very good. Thank you very much.

438
00:42:53,800 --> 00:43:00,840
Perfect. Who have any announcements? Chair. There's actually a second page of the work plan

439
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:08,200
with publicized. Excuse me. Number seven, evaluate opportunities to increase use involvement in

440
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:15,400
park planning. There's on. Archie and Mr. Levato. Excuse me. I think for me.

441
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:25,720
All right. No update. Support city park planning efforts. Mr. Levato.

442
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:34,600
I have no update. No update for me. I have identified one potential dog park that staff is

443
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:41,800
reviewing now. Great. Thank you very much. Are you allowed to tell us where that is or is it

444
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:51,640
confidential? Sure. Yeah. We're working with Chris on trying to reuse the butterfield

445
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:57,320
community garden site. So that organization has removed all their facilities and it's just a

446
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:04,200
necessary now. I prepare a sketch shared it with Chris and we're talking about the potential

447
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:09,320
budget and how to raise the money. Make it happen. Great idea. That's a good luck. It's fought. Lots of new houses.

448
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:16,680
Is any of that land combed by VT or CalTrans? I know the parking area nearby is combed.

449
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:24,840
It's all seen, right Chris? Yeah. Okay. But it's nice. It's got parking already there. So it's

450
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:30,760
let's walk up all the downtown. Always parking at the courthouse. That's right through.

451
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:37,320
Well, you got the skaters already over there. They're the ones that probably got kicked off the skate park

452
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:43,240
and they're right there at the sheriff's office. They use that area now. Here. All right. Great. Thank you very

453
00:44:43,240 --> 00:44:50,360
much. Number nine last item. Would you pedestrian access to park space for low income housing areas?

454
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:59,960
This is for Zahn Fachi and Mr. Money's. I don't necessarily have an update, but I kind of

455
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:25,000
I've just submitted my stuff for school. So I've got a little bit of a break. So I'm going to start, actually, I just want to actually walk it myself and create like kind of like a, a little map of this piece from kind of house to park it and really kind of note the experience. And that's kind of how I want to start. So that's why I plan to do over the next month.

456
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:41,000
I think I just had, I think some of the work that you, you do, you guys do on that could inform some of the update to our transportation master plan down the road. We can look at incorporating.

457
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Yeah, definitely commissioner reach out and I'll, I'll join you.

458
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Great. All right, thank you very much. Does anybody have any announcements?

459
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:03,000
None. Does anybody have any future commission items they'd like to have?

460
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:09,000
None. We're adjourned. Thank you. Thanks, Chris.

461
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Thank you.

462
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,000
Thank you, everybody.

463
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,000
Happy holidays.

464
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,000
You

465
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Thank you.
