1
00:00:22,130 --> 00:00:33,150
Council Member Espinoza, Council Member Beckmeyer is here, Vice Mayor Wright, Mayor Bulls here.

2
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:40,320
Thank you all for being here today. I'd love to say a full room.

3
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:50,940
I just want to start by reminding everyone that you need to put a parking pass on your car if you're parked out here in the lot, and those are little slips that are found right downstairs.

4
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:59,580
And then I'm going to start with just a general announcement about public comments at the meeting.

5
00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:05,160
So public meetings are a limited public forum, meaning that there are rules for commenting of these meetings.

6
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,080
Comments on non-agendized items must address matters within the subject matter jurisdiction of the city

7
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,220
and comments on non-agendized items must relate to that specific item.

8
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,260
If comments do not fall into one of these categories, the city will provide you with an initial warning

9
00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:23,720
to stay within the subject manager's section of the city or on topic.

10
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,520
If the warning is not followed, I will direct the city clerk to cut off the microphone.

11
00:01:29,380 --> 00:01:32,800
And throughout this morning's system, I'll seek the assistance of the city attorney and

12
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,480
identifying comments not related to the agenda item or not within the subject manager's

13
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,800
section of the city.

14
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,720
So I'll start with taking a breath and reading our land acknowledgement.

15
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,420
The city of Pacifica acknowledges that we occupy the unseated ancestral homeland of the

16
00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:58,600
Ramotish alony peoples, who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula.

17
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,420
We honor the Ramotish alony peoples for their enduring commitment to Mother Earth.

18
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,700
As the indigenous protectors of this land, an importance with their traditions, the Ramotish

19
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:14,020
alony have never seated, lost, nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers

20
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:19,100
of this place, as well as for all the peoples who reside in their traditional territory.

21
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,860
We refer them their sovereign rights as first peoples, and wish to pay our respects to

22
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:29,200
the ancestors, elders, and relatives of the Romantic and Shalomese peoples.

23
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:37,840
Councillor Mbrees, may I ask myself, may I ask myself, may I ask myself, may I ask

24
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:47,880
and to be part of it for which stands one nation on the guard in the digital with liberty and justice for all.

25
00:02:55,580 --> 00:03:00,400
So we are starting our council meeting with a couple of proclamations.

26
00:03:01,460 --> 00:03:14,080
The first is about suicide prevention month, and I want to invite Bernard Buriantos from the San Mateo County suicide prevention committee to join us.

27
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,760
So I'll read the proper question first.

28
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:28,560
We're asked the City of Pacifica and San Mateo County will join the country and state in honoring

29
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:35,660
Suicide Prevention Month in September National Suicide Prevention Week September 6, 12 and

30
00:03:35,660 --> 00:03:40,660
World Suicide Prevention Days September 10 to spread the message that Suicide

31
00:03:40,660 --> 00:03:41,740
can be prevented.

32
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:50,180
And whereas in 2025, 65 people died by suicide in San Mateo County, and 9,212

33
00:03:50,180 --> 00:04:01,420
calls, 173 chats, and 1,735 text messages were received by the 988 suicide and crisis

34
00:04:01,420 --> 00:04:06,720
lifeline that is operated by Felton Institute's Peninsula suicide prevention.

35
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:16,960
And whereas residents of the city Pacifica are urged to play a role in supporting each other and preventing suicide by knowing the signs of suicidal thoughts,

36
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:25,020
finding the words of support, and sharing connections to local resources, including the 988 suicide and crisis lifeline.

37
00:04:26,740 --> 00:04:33,460
Alternatives to suicide peer support group by heart and soul, suicide loss support group by mission

38
00:04:33,460 --> 00:04:38,820
hospice and home care, and be sensitive, be brave, and mental health first aid trainings.

39
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:45,040
And whereas the San Mateo County Public Health, policy and planning, behavioral health and recovery

40
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,540
services, suicide prevention committee and partners are collectively organizing activities

41
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:56,660
that our community can participate in throughout September suicide prevention month, including

42
00:04:56,660 --> 00:05:03,460
free and person and virtual events, advocacy days and communication campaign with ongoing

43
00:05:03,460 --> 00:05:11,020
updates posted at SMChealth.org slash suicide prevention month. And whereas the 2016,

44
00:05:11,780 --> 00:05:19,240
the Weight Week carry recognises that many people, particularly LGBTQ plus individuals, racial

45
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:25,980
and ethnic minorities, veterans, men and boys, and people with severe psychiatric diagnoses,

46
00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:32,460
carry heavy, often silent emotional burdens, trauma, and mental health struggles. It is a reminder

47
00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:38,280
that no one has to bear that hardship alone, and asking for help as an act of deep courage.

48
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:45,840
And whereas the governor's executive order in dash 31-25 focuses attention on men and boys

49
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:50,420
with disproportionately high rates of suicide that are often overlooked.

50
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,840
Yet, carry invisible burdens such as emotional pain,

51
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,420
stress, grief, isolation, and expectations.

52
00:05:58,540 --> 00:06:01,780
And whereas the 2024 San Mateo County Board of Supervisors

53
00:06:01,780 --> 00:06:05,220
Resolution declaring loneliness, a public health crisis,

54
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:08,020
calls on our community to reduce stigma,

55
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,520
strengthen social connection and belonging,

56
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,200
and ensure that no one has to carry these burdens alone.

57
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:20,080
And whereas beyond September you can join the San Mateo County Suicide Prevention Committee,

58
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,720
which provides oversight and direction to suicide prevention efforts in the county,

59
00:06:25,380 --> 00:06:30,540
and advances the submission by focusing on strategies and activities in the Suicide Prevention

60
00:06:30,540 --> 00:06:33,680
roadmap, 2021 to 2026.

61
00:06:34,340 --> 00:06:38,520
The roadmap recommends activities that span across the continuum of care,

62
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,840
including stable housing, education and trainings, and risk appropriate treatment.

63
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:49,380
Now, therefore, I, Christine Bols, on behalf of the City Council of the City of Pacifica

64
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:56,060
and all its citizens, do hereby designate September 2026 as suicide prevention month in

65
00:06:56,060 --> 00:07:01,620
the City of Pacifica and call upon everyone in the City of Pacifica to find their role in

66
00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:02,700
suicide prevention.

67
00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:11,740
What do you like to say somewhere outside that I don't think, so thank you and good evening.

68
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,060
So my name is Bernabarian Toes.

69
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,740
I issue her pronouns, and I'm a licensed clinical social worker, and a member of the San Mateo

70
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:22,180
County Suicide Prevention Committee.

71
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,600
So I just wanted to let folks know that the Suicide Prevention Committee meetings are open

72
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,360
to the public.

73
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,240
Everyone's welcome.

74
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:46,460
I would like to thank the City of Pacifica, Marables and the Pacifica City Council members for recognizing September 2026 as suicide prevention month.

75
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,120
I know the topic of suicide as well as mental challenges are difficult to discuss.

76
00:07:52,120 --> 00:08:01,900
And the best way to support those of us living with mental challenges and suicidal ideation is by talking openly and honestly about these topics.

77
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:12,340
Suicide prevention is near and dear to my heart. In October 2023 my steps in Joshua Marsland completed suicide.

78
00:08:13,900 --> 00:08:19,960
Not a day goes by that I don't think about him, what his life could have been, and just

79
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,020
that I mismderely.

80
00:08:24,410 --> 00:08:29,410
As a suicide law survivor, I feel it is important to talk about suicide prevention so

81
00:08:29,410 --> 00:08:33,610
that hopefully others do not go through the pain and anguish that myself and my family

82
00:08:33,610 --> 00:08:34,610
has been through.

83
00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:38,050
Suicide affects a lot of people.

84
00:08:38,690 --> 00:08:44,930
Researchers have found that up to 135 people are affected to some degree by every person

85
00:08:44,930 --> 00:08:48,230
lost to suicide, 135 people.

86
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:50,470
That is a lot of grief in the world.

87
00:08:52,910 --> 00:08:55,170
While talking about suicide can be uncomfortable,

88
00:08:55,450 --> 00:08:58,090
I assure you, living through a suicide attempt

89
00:08:58,090 --> 00:09:00,190
or completion feels a lot worse.

90
00:09:03,090 --> 00:09:05,450
A few ways all of us in this room

91
00:09:05,450 --> 00:09:08,510
can make these conversations easier,

92
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:12,030
include getting comfortable with some of the following.

93
00:09:13,370 --> 00:09:15,230
For example, ask the question,

94
00:09:15,230 --> 00:09:17,730
Are you thinking of killing yourself?

95
00:09:18,970 --> 00:09:24,230
This opens a dialogue and lets the person and distress know you are someone they can talk to.

96
00:09:25,570 --> 00:09:29,310
And no, you will not put the ideas instead if you ask this question.

97
00:09:29,730 --> 00:09:33,210
In fact, the opposite is true. You just might have to save a life.

98
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:42,920
After asking someone if they are thinking of suicide, you can direct them to call or text 988, the suicide crisis lifeline.

99
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:50,080
980 is available nationwide and is opened 24, 7, 365 days a year.

100
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:54,260
You can also offer to sit with the person while they make this potentially life-saving

101
00:09:56,610 --> 00:09:57,130
call.

102
00:09:57,390 --> 00:10:02,010
It heads up, 980 is not just for those going through a mental health crisis.

103
00:10:02,870 --> 00:10:05,610
980 also offers emotional support as well.

104
00:10:06,750 --> 00:10:10,710
This is a great resource for family members and friends of those who may be having mental

105
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:13,910
challenges and want someone to talk to themselves.

106
00:10:15,650 --> 00:10:19,270
So I ask you, please help to spread the word about 988.

107
00:10:19,490 --> 00:10:21,150
Again, this could save a life.

108
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:29,000
For more information about Suicide Prevention, I recommend checking out 988lifeline.org

109
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:36,160
and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention at AFSP.org.

110
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,700
So thank you again to Pacifica for this buckleation and for standing with San Mateo County

111
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:47,980
community, and preventing suicide, promoting connection, and reminding everyone that help

112
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:54,180
is available. Together, we can help ensure that we practice our own self-care and support

113
00:10:54,180 --> 00:10:58,360
each other. Thank you. Thank you so much for that.

114
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,700
What any council members like to?

115
00:11:02,380 --> 00:11:03,620
I'll go ahead.

116
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,900
Hi, it evening. Thank you so much for being here tonight. I really appreciate it.

117
00:11:12,430 --> 00:11:12,930
The most

118
00:11:12,930 --> 00:11:15,990
important thing is to prevent suicide, right?

119
00:11:17,070 --> 00:11:19,570
And by having taken the be sensitive,

120
00:11:19,710 --> 00:11:22,130
be brave training a couple times,

121
00:11:23,130 --> 00:11:26,590
I think it's just such a worthy training for our communities.

122
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:28,330
And we were able to bring the training here

123
00:11:28,330 --> 00:11:29,790
through the libraries at one point.

124
00:11:29,790 --> 00:11:31,670
And I think we need to do it again.

125
00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:34,490
We should probably do it on an annual basis.

126
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:38,210
Just so folks can experience what it feels like

127
00:11:38,210 --> 00:11:41,730
to learn how to talk to each other, right?

128
00:11:41,730 --> 00:11:44,410
because it's such a taboo topic.

129
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:46,910
There was two suicides in my family.

130
00:11:47,690 --> 00:11:52,250
And I don't think we ever really talked about it.

131
00:11:52,510 --> 00:11:53,650
It was like pushed under the word.

132
00:11:53,690 --> 00:11:58,730
Well, he did this, but, and I think the beauty

133
00:11:58,730 --> 00:12:02,750
of having these coalitions and commissions

134
00:12:02,750 --> 00:12:06,890
and trainings is that we learn that it's OK to talk about it.

135
00:12:07,170 --> 00:12:10,470
And that there's resources out there to support family members

136
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:13,950
to our grieving, right, but first and foremost,

137
00:12:14,410 --> 00:12:16,710
is to support the folks that are suffering

138
00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:18,470
and thinking of ending their own lives.

139
00:12:18,730 --> 00:12:21,450
And so I really appreciate you being here,

140
00:12:21,710 --> 00:12:25,950
spreading awareness, and we'll work to get that training here again.

141
00:12:26,270 --> 00:12:26,990
Thank you.

142
00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:36,760
Not an easy topic for anyone, and it is a true tragedy

143
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,760
that we've lost 65 people in our county.

144
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:50,620
At the same time, no, it's through the work of people like you that take those 9-D-212 calls.

145
00:12:51,380 --> 00:12:55,620
And those are small victories in comparison to the tragedy,

146
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,620
but they are small victories together.

147
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,340
We can demonstrate that there's hope and be there for each other

148
00:13:03,340 --> 00:13:05,780
and listen to each other and help each other.

149
00:13:05,780 --> 00:13:08,880
And I want to thank you for trying to turn a tragedy

150
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,540
into something that potentially could prevent some in the future.

151
00:13:14,020 --> 00:13:14,940
Thank you.

152
00:13:19,330 --> 00:13:24,830
I would like to echo what Councilmember Beer said about bringing the training back.

153
00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:26,730
I was able to do it myself.

154
00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:35,750
And I would like to add to that outreach to Pacifica School District and to Jefferson Union High School District.

155
00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:44,090
Just at the top of my head that are local to see about staff training in the same vein.

156
00:13:45,290 --> 00:13:48,870
And thank you so much for sharing your story and for being here.

157
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:59,340
I will say, if you know, well, I grew up with 14 siblings.

158
00:13:59,340 --> 00:14:26,160
And we were usually paying attention to each other when you each other and I think it's important to pay attention to see like what we do is that if we see someone depressed we will ask them to let's do go to something let's do some activities to take them out of you know where they are.

159
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:41,540
And I believe that we have to pay a little more attention to our friends and relatives and they don't have to suffer along which would be there to help them and get resources.

160
00:14:42,580 --> 00:14:49,820
If we don't, there are resources available also to make sure that we pay attention.

161
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,720
Thank you.

162
00:14:55,570 --> 00:14:59,970
I appreciate that you say it's okay to ask the question, or are you thinking about that?

163
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:25,840
I would never think about asking that. You see someone who's maybe a little aloof or sad and I don't know. And our society would say, oh, how are you? And you just expect a happy answer or I'm okay and nobody ever follows up, right? But you're sensing something, taking another little minute to try to find out how they're really doing and maybe spend a little time with them and maybe maybe get to asking that question.

164
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:33,640
When my daughter was in her first year of college at MIT, there were three suicides among

165
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,600
her class, that first year.

166
00:15:36,540 --> 00:15:39,300
Like you don't know, like there's so much pressure.

167
00:15:39,460 --> 00:15:43,460
I mean, we talk about all the different parts of society that have so much pressure for

168
00:15:43,460 --> 00:15:47,580
kids or under so much pressure, and to think of these smart kids who did all that work

169
00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:53,420
to get there, and yet it was too much right to take their lives this one and what they were

170
00:15:53,420 --> 00:15:59,360
starting with promise, they design their school rings with a star for each one of those kids,

171
00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:02,860
which is really beautiful, but it's a life that didn't need to be lost.

172
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:10,140
So, yes, let's do what we can to help get the word out, help get more training, so we can

173
00:16:10,140 --> 00:16:15,280
protect our people that have full lives ahead of them, yeah, thank you so much.

174
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:22,320
So, I have a proclamation here, I don't know if we have a lot on our, we can take a picture,

175
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,300
or just give it to you as you would love?

176
00:16:25,020 --> 00:16:27,440
Okay, okay.

177
00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:30,140
And then we have one more proclamation for National Preparedness month.

178
00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:35,900
And so I want to invite Clyde Preston from the North County Fire Tower of 30, 60 inspectors.

179
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,400
Thanks for being here with us tonight.

180
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:44,840
Okay, Proclamation of the City Pacific and Reclamation of National Preparedness Month September

181
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:45,700
2026.

182
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,140
I'm sorry any might or glass.

183
00:17:50,290 --> 00:17:55,110
Whereas during September the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, and the National

184
00:17:55,110 --> 00:18:00,570
Preparedness Month Coalition, urge all Americans to better prepare their families for emergencies

185
00:18:00,570 --> 00:18:07,330
by acknowledging this year's theme, Americans stand ready, and whereas National Preparedness

186
00:18:07,330 --> 00:18:12,250
month encourages individuals and families to take an active role in their own preparedness,

187
00:18:12,610 --> 00:18:17,930
including creating emergency plans and building kits, which include three days of non-perishable

188
00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:25,310
food and water, a battery-powered or crank radio, a flashlight first aid kit, whistle, dust

189
00:18:25,310 --> 00:18:31,650
mass, cell phone with charger, noise-tellets, medications, duct tape, and other supplies.

190
00:18:31,650 --> 00:18:38,090
And whereas national preparedness months from promotes the use of technology resources, including

191
00:18:38,090 --> 00:18:46,670
SMC Alert, the Genesis Protect App, and websites like NorthcountyFire.gov, Protect.genesis.com,

192
00:18:46,910 --> 00:18:52,390
and Ready.gov, which provide educational resources, as well as update information about critical

193
00:18:52,390 --> 00:18:55,350
emergencies, weather, and evacuations.

194
00:18:56,250 --> 00:19:00,790
And whereas it is highly recommended that our citizens become better educated by participating

195
00:19:00,790 --> 00:19:06,710
in local and regional classes, such as tsunami and earthquake preparedness classes, and fire

196
00:19:06,710 --> 00:19:11,850
prevention and medication provided by Pacific Police and North County Fire and others.

197
00:19:13,010 --> 00:19:17,810
And whereas, in the event of a major city or regional disaster, emergency responders may

198
00:19:17,810 --> 00:19:23,230
be overwhelmed with large-scale issues, and we regularly encourage residents to participate

199
00:19:23,230 --> 00:19:27,570
and Community Emergency Response Team or SERT training.

200
00:19:28,530 --> 00:19:34,390
SERT provides education for residents about disaster preparedness and trains in basic disaster

201
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:41,190
response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster

202
00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:46,730
medical operations so that SERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace

203
00:19:46,730 --> 00:19:51,210
following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.

204
00:19:51,210 --> 00:19:56,130
Now, therefore, I, Christine Bulls, on behalf of the City Council of the City of Pacifica

205
00:19:56,130 --> 00:20:02,770
and all of the citizens, do hereby proclaim September 2026 as National Preparedness Month

206
00:20:02,770 --> 00:20:09,070
in the City of Pacifica and encourage all Pacifica residents to increase their knowledge of proper safety measures

207
00:20:09,070 --> 00:20:19,210
to follow the four during and after disaster and to prepare now to ensure the best protection of their families and neighbors in the event of the disaster.

208
00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:28,130
Thank you so much for declaring September National Prepared Dispunt here in the City of Pacific.

209
00:20:29,070 --> 00:20:34,690
And the timing is perfect as I just want to let everyone know here in the audience tonight and watching at home.

210
00:20:35,930 --> 00:20:41,990
There will be a certain series of classes starting next week as a matter of fact next Thursday night.

211
00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:44,610
It's hosted by our own Pacifica Police Department.

212
00:20:45,310 --> 00:20:51,050
It'll be at the police station, and it'll be for the seven Thursday nights in one Saturday,

213
00:20:51,650 --> 00:20:52,590
and they still have openings.

214
00:20:52,850 --> 00:20:57,070
So if anybody who's watching tonight would like to get involved with the Sir, the Community

215
00:20:57,070 --> 00:21:01,750
Emergency Response Team Training, it is free, open to all Pacifica residents.

216
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:08,150
You can go online to the Pacifica website, type in Sir, as all the information you can sign

217
00:21:08,150 --> 00:21:08,590
up.

218
00:21:08,590 --> 00:21:14,870
It's actually training. It is a somewhat of a time commitment for those seven-thirds days and that one Saturday,

219
00:21:15,530 --> 00:21:22,350
but it is information that you can use to protect your home, your family, your co-workers before

220
00:21:22,350 --> 00:21:28,830
during and after-northquake. So it's time, well spent and we encourage all residents to take advantage of that.

221
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:34,510
If not this series, there's going to be other series as we have done in the past. So thank you so much for

222
00:21:35,230 --> 00:21:38,450
raising that awareness for the community here tonight and for this month.

223
00:21:38,590 --> 00:21:39,510
Thank you.

224
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,500
They wouldn't like to say anything, we don't all have to say anything.

225
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:55,280
Well, I would definitely like to start up by saying thank you, you guys are out there

226
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:02,940
looking out for us 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

227
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:08,960
I think going through something like the served program we're talking about, seven days plus

228
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:16,760
one Saturday, it's not that big and asking that the very least to just have us consider thinking

229
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:22,380
about it and doing a little bit to prepare, to take care of our own selves, isn't a big

230
00:22:22,380 --> 00:22:27,260
ass, you're a big left, but the first part is getting a communication out there, you're out there

231
00:22:27,260 --> 00:22:29,980
do in that representing us, trying to...

232
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:48,740
I hope us all help ourselves and help our neighbors. I truly thank you for that. I want Pacifica to be a safer place. We do have tsunamis. We do have earthquakes. We do have threat of forest fires. And thanks for being there and taking care of us all. Thank you.

233
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,240
Thank you so much for keeping us safe.

234
00:22:56,220 --> 00:22:58,160
All of us live here on the coast.

235
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,940
Preparinance is not an option.

236
00:23:01,780 --> 00:23:03,400
We have to do that.

237
00:23:04,140 --> 00:23:06,620
I encourage everyone watching,

238
00:23:06,620 --> 00:23:13,360
every family watching to just take a small step to prepare a bag.

239
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,720
Just in case.

240
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:16,880
You never know when something's going to happen.

241
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:19,820
Thank you.

242
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:34,560
I'm going to encourage people to check their bag, I used to keep one all the time and I opened it and the baby clothes were in there, the kids were ten and I said, yeah, that's not going to work.

243
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:43,280
Need to make sure that you have that crank radio that flashlight I mean, right, and pet food.

244
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:48,800
That's what I was just going to say and that, you know, those were just things that I hadn't

245
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:54,980
really thought of and because kids grow fast, having those extra clothes or whatever you might

246
00:23:54,980 --> 00:24:00,000
have in there, you might need to update that. Even though you know you have the bag ready.

247
00:24:00,660 --> 00:24:06,300
Thank you so much for all you do. And I just want to make another plug for the search training.

248
00:24:06,660 --> 00:24:12,260
I did it with my husband and my kids, one in middle school and one in high school at the time,

249
00:24:12,260 --> 00:24:14,560
And let me tell you, they weren't really studying that book.

250
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,480
I mean, I can still tell you what kind of fire extinguisher you need and how to use it.

251
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,420
But, you know, it's really about you not being a victim first, helping your own family.

252
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,540
And then you might have seniors or others in your neighborhood so you look out for each other.

253
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:34,800
So you're there because it may take a few days before our firefighters and police can arrive,

254
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,220
you know, in the event of a major disaster like an earthquake.

255
00:24:39,540 --> 00:24:47,240
I was October 17th coming up on its anniversary, my gobag hasn't been checked in a little while.

256
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,220
And then we might have a super al Nino coming this winter.

257
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:56,240
So have your sandbags ready ahead of time.

258
00:24:56,540 --> 00:24:59,840
Look at those hills that might have some erosion and landslides.

259
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,280
And really just be careful and mindful every day and report things.

260
00:25:04,340 --> 00:25:06,340
Make sure storm drains are cleaned around you.

261
00:25:06,340 --> 00:25:10,420
It's about us all being prepared individually and then together as a community.

262
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,160
So, yeah, thank you so much.

263
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,000
And I'll just thank all the first responders for everything that you do for us every single day.

264
00:25:19,220 --> 00:25:21,220
Thank you so much.

265
00:25:21,740 --> 00:25:22,040
Thank you.

266
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,020
Thank you.

267
00:25:23,460 --> 00:25:24,620
And would you like a picture?

268
00:25:24,940 --> 00:25:28,480
Would you like a

269
00:26:16,030 --> 00:26:16,030
picture?

270
00:26:32,370 --> 00:26:34,730
So, a couple of things before we move on to consent.

271
00:26:34,930 --> 00:26:38,610
If anyone would like to make a public comment about the two proclamations,

272
00:26:38,610 --> 00:26:44,950
You can come up now and fill out a card later, and do we have anyone online?

273
00:26:45,170 --> 00:26:47,070
We have one raise now, okay.

274
00:26:47,890 --> 00:26:48,970
Please go ahead.

275
00:26:49,210 --> 00:26:50,410
It is for Lila Reniro.

276
00:26:53,430 --> 00:26:54,010
Go ahead Lila.

277
00:26:54,710 --> 00:26:55,870
Hi, can you hear me?

278
00:26:56,170 --> 00:26:56,650
Yep.

279
00:26:57,390 --> 00:26:58,870
Hi, this is Lila Reniro.

280
00:26:59,010 --> 00:27:02,590
I have done the search training and it is so informative and awesome.

281
00:27:03,350 --> 00:27:07,570
Just one clarification though, the upcoming search training program with the Pacific

282
00:27:07,570 --> 00:27:12,750
Police Department is currently full with a wait list. I know this because I just try

283
00:27:12,750 --> 00:27:18,110
helping my young adult daughter to sign up today. It is full and my daughter's number one

284
00:27:18,110 --> 00:27:24,290
on the wait list. Okay, thank you for letting us know. I'd like to thank you for letting us know.

285
00:27:24,290 --> 00:27:29,210
Does anyone else on? There are no other raised hands. Okay, and then Kimberly Finalee?

286
00:27:30,770 --> 00:27:36,870
I could have been council members and community members, city staff from Kimberly Finalee Pacific

287
00:27:36,870 --> 00:27:44,490
a resident. I wanted to just have expressed my sincere appreciation for both the proclamation

288
00:27:44,490 --> 00:27:51,890
and the presenters of them, the awareness on both topics is really, really important for

289
00:27:51,890 --> 00:28:00,930
all of our community members. And I have personal experience with the cert training. I was in

290
00:28:00,930 --> 00:28:07,790
first graduating class after COVID after the pause from COVID and it was just an

291
00:28:07,790 --> 00:28:11,610
invaluable experience. I did it with my dad and his wife and we just had a

292
00:28:11,610 --> 00:28:18,110
really nice time but the seven weeks goes by really quickly. The training is

293
00:28:18,110 --> 00:28:25,030
excellent. The training is free. They just do an amazing job so I want to give

294
00:28:25,030 --> 00:28:33,470
my heartfelt thank you and urge any community members who are interested in community emergency

295
00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:40,730
response to take advantage of this free program because anyone can learn it and you

296
00:28:40,730 --> 00:28:42,830
will feel like a superhero when you graduate.

297
00:28:43,590 --> 00:28:44,170
Thank you.

298
00:28:44,330 --> 00:28:45,270
Thank you so much.

299
00:28:45,410 --> 00:28:46,150
Can really.

300
00:28:46,710 --> 00:28:50,850
Okay, with that, I'll close public comment and then one of the things I forgot to do was to ask

301
00:28:50,850 --> 00:28:53,470
if there was a close session or a program or a program that you're meeting.

302
00:28:54,110 --> 00:28:54,310
Yes.

303
00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:58,130
I do want to note for the record that there is no reportable action from either of the

304
00:28:58,130 --> 00:28:58,970
closed sessions tonight.

305
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,610
Thank you so much.

306
00:29:01,190 --> 00:29:01,330
All right.

307
00:29:01,530 --> 00:29:04,070
So that moves us to our consent calendar.

308
00:29:05,130 --> 00:29:09,350
So are there any council members who'd like to pull an item off consent?

309
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:22,480
Item 5.

310
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,280
And I'm going to ask the city manager to do a presentation first.

311
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,160
So if you can just hold your question on that.

312
00:29:30,060 --> 00:29:31,860
I have a question on item 9.

313
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:32,980
Okay.

314
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:45,320
should we allow you to do the presentation first and then maybe take questions on the other

315
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,980
before public comment.

316
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:47,420
Thank you.

317
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,120
So this is about the peer.

318
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,700
Good evening, Shunch up into your city manager.

319
00:29:57,140 --> 00:29:59,960
To provide a quick update on item number five.

320
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,860
Just a little bit of background on June 4th, a large crack was identified in the abutment that the Pacific

321
00:30:06,860 --> 00:30:13,720
Unisable Peer. The Peer was promptly closed. The city declared a state of emergency, the county declared

322
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:21,520
a state of emergency for us. We submitted to CaloES for the governor's declared a state of emergency

323
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:29,880
and for emergency technical and financial assistance from the state. We are still in the emergency

324
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:35,240
stabilization mode, and the action before you tonight is an important milestone in that

325
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:44,560
process. It is to ratify my execution of a contract with power engineering construction

326
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:52,480
to do investigation, design, and construction of the emergency stabilization work at the municipal

327
00:30:52,480 --> 00:31:00,080
here. The good news is that we will be moving forward with hopefully construction,

328
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:04,260
designing construction projects that will stabilize, provide the emergency stabilization

329
00:31:04,260 --> 00:31:12,720
necessary to prevent the peer situation from getting worse. One note is that this

330
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:19,760
work will not do the construction, designer construction work necessary to bring the peer

331
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:25,540
back to it's original use, and that is next phase, but before we can get to that phase,

332
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:33,420
we have to ensure that the peer is stabilized and deterioration slows or stops altogether.

333
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:40,580
And that is what this contract does. There are several phases. It is an iterative contract.

334
00:31:41,780 --> 00:31:48,640
The first one is investigation. They will be preparing their own investigation of the existing

335
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:55,840
conditions, and then they'll move into the design of the phase that would stabilize the first

336
00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,820
span of the pier, and right now they're proposing to do that with pylons and a bracing,

337
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:07,300
and that would help to prevent the abutment from sinking further and also take tension off

338
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:09,380
the other spans of the pier.

339
00:32:10,180 --> 00:32:16,140
Then they will move into the design and construction of efforts to protect beach boulevard,

340
00:32:16,140 --> 00:32:19,680
And there are two aspects that we're looking at.

341
00:32:19,740 --> 00:32:24,080
One is a sort of sheet piles, along the edge of beach boulevard.

342
00:32:24,780 --> 00:32:29,140
And then one is a sort of protective sheet piles around the abutment.

343
00:32:29,380 --> 00:32:32,480
And both of those would serve to help to stabilize

344
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,160
beach boulevard from future damage.

345
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,740
It is set up as a design progressive design contract.

346
00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:46,480
So it'll be working with the designers of the contractor.

347
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:53,860
and the work will be authorized in phases, and for the fiscal impact, as mentioned, we have

348
00:32:53,860 --> 00:32:58,360
submitted to Kahlo AS for financial reimbursement and we're also working with our insurance

349
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:07,140
company, and it's our intent to complete this work in advance or to the best of our ability

350
00:33:07,140 --> 00:33:10,380
in advance of the winter storms,

351
00:33:13,670 --> 00:33:17,150
and that concludes my presentation or my summary and we're

352
00:33:17,150 --> 00:33:18,510
available if there are any questions.

353
00:33:19,030 --> 00:33:20,230
Okay, did you have some questions?

354
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:24,340
Some of them.

355
00:33:24,820 --> 00:33:34,500
But what is the total cost ceiling on this agreement or there is no cap at all?

356
00:33:36,490 --> 00:33:41,850
There is a process, if you look at section 3.5 and the contract, it allows us to

357
00:33:41,850 --> 00:33:43,530
authorize work in phases.

358
00:33:45,650 --> 00:33:54,890
The contractor did provide some rough order and magnitude construction estimates, but they are very preliminary, and those are in the contract as well.

359
00:33:55,410 --> 00:34:04,950
So the work will be authorized as we accomplish each stage and as available funding from, as mentioned, either CaloES or the insurance company is available.

360
00:34:06,270 --> 00:34:13,430
I understand that we only got one bid on this job. Is that right?

361
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:22,710
That's correct. We submitted to under our emergency authorization. We submitted the proposal to three maritime construction firms.

362
00:34:22,710 --> 00:34:32,330
And it's really the known universe of qualified maritime construction firms in Northern California and much of California.

363
00:34:33,170 --> 00:34:37,610
And we were in close contact with all of them and we did receive one bid. That's correct.

364
00:34:39,570 --> 00:34:45,950
Yeah, it's kind of difficult to find out that's the fair price because we only had.

365
00:34:45,950 --> 00:34:48,770
So it's kind of like, but what can we do?

366
00:34:48,970 --> 00:34:55,130
So the other one is that share of the total cost,

367
00:34:55,770 --> 00:35:00,050
the stuff, expect, insurance, you already talk about the insurance,

368
00:35:00,110 --> 00:35:01,290
I understand that.

369
00:35:01,950 --> 00:35:09,910
So what is the exposure, if reimbursement is not,

370
00:35:09,970 --> 00:35:13,250
it's fall short, and you don't have, right?

371
00:35:13,250 --> 00:35:19,250
We would limit that exposure by not authorizing that work until we had funds.

372
00:35:19,570 --> 00:35:21,230
That is the goal.

373
00:35:22,170 --> 00:35:24,550
The risk of doing nothing is great.

374
00:35:25,970 --> 00:35:32,470
Given the need to stabilize it and now is the time to be doing construction before the winter storms occur.

375
00:35:33,450 --> 00:35:40,750
So that explains why that's the rationale for moving forward quickly and under my executive authority

376
00:35:40,750 --> 00:35:43,650
and asking the council to ratify that.

377
00:35:46,530 --> 00:35:52,750
It's kind of a couple of questions too, so you say we'll be getting prices for the different

378
00:35:52,750 --> 00:35:57,630
phases as we go to those end up coming back to us when there's a little bit more information

379
00:35:57,630 --> 00:36:04,850
or do you have full emergency emergency manager to approve those?

380
00:36:05,490 --> 00:36:07,750
I think it depends on the order of magnitude.

381
00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:24,350
We know the amount that we've a reasonably likely to receive from CaloIS or insurance, so as long as it's within that, and also if there's timing, we come back to Council, but we are in a situation in emergency situation where we don't want to miss a week.

382
00:36:24,710 --> 00:36:32,310
And if we're not spending the money if it's coming from others, it's probably not something that we need to necessarily apply not, especially in this emergency.

383
00:36:32,710 --> 00:36:36,270
Like when we go to the next stage of what are we doing with the peer that's a different conversation.

384
00:36:37,170 --> 00:36:48,610
And we can work with the Council to give regular updates as Council sees appropriate on what works been authorized and what funding has been committed.

385
00:36:49,670 --> 00:37:02,930
Okay, and then I know some of the boulders were taken from the C-wall south of the peer to be able to shore up the abutment, you know, from, yeah, deteriorating further.

386
00:37:03,490 --> 00:37:12,930
I understand, that's a whole separate project and contract that will also be working on simultaneously here before the winter. Maybe you could talk about that a little bit.

387
00:37:12,990 --> 00:37:19,350
It is our intent to, so we did mine boulders from south of the pier to shore up the abutment.

388
00:37:19,490 --> 00:37:24,150
And that was one of the reasons why we think the sinking of the abutment has slowed so dramatically.

389
00:37:24,430 --> 00:37:29,370
We did this in the early days of the emergency, and it is our goal and intent.

390
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,940
To replace those boulders before the rainy season, and we're looking at a variety of ways to do that

391
00:37:35,940 --> 00:37:42,200
through either this contractor or other emergency contracts, but we're fully aware of that concern

392
00:37:43,260 --> 00:37:47,020
and plan to remedy that before the rainy season.

393
00:37:47,660 --> 00:37:49,360
Thank you so much.

394
00:37:50,220 --> 00:37:52,740
Okay, and then item 9, you had a question?

395
00:37:53,660 --> 00:37:59,980
Just a quick question on this particular study that we're being

396
00:37:59,980 --> 00:38:04,020
ask to approve who is paying for the cost for that?

397
00:38:05,990 --> 00:38:10,850
The applicant property owner will be paying the cost for that, and the city will not proceed

398
00:38:10,850 --> 00:38:13,590
with any work until funded by the property owner.

399
00:38:15,830 --> 00:38:16,950
Thank you.

400
00:38:17,530 --> 00:38:27,330
Okay, and with that we'll move on to public comments on the consent calendar, and a few people

401
00:38:27,330 --> 00:38:28,530
didn't say they were on consent.

402
00:38:28,530 --> 00:38:35,230
So, again, these are only comments related to items 1, 2, 11 on the consent calendar.

403
00:38:35,830 --> 00:38:39,630
There'll be a time right after this for comments on anything not on the agenda.

404
00:38:41,430 --> 00:38:47,330
So, catagalms you wrote to make tech number 1, but I don't think number 1 is on the consent calendar.

405
00:38:47,730 --> 00:38:48,530
Is that for general?

406
00:38:49,450 --> 00:38:49,930
Public comment?

407
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:52,460
Oh, the peer.

408
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:53,720
All right.

409
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:59,060
where you can come up now, and then Michael Women and then Sam Kaseyas.

410
00:39:06,180 --> 00:39:09,520
Good evening, City Council, staff, and community members.

411
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:16,040
My name is Cata Gomes, Rami Tush, descendant from the village of Timic Talk, along Clare Creek.

412
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:24,440
You know, it takes a very special person to be able to have the vision of taking a negative

413
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,740
situation and turning it into a positive.

414
00:39:28,580 --> 00:39:35,060
And I want to thank the former speakers and representatives who make that their life's work.

415
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:43,640
I think the situation with the peer is an opportunity for us to have a more long-term vision

416
00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:52,280
of what could happen here, to take a negative, and take this peer that's crumbling and falling

417
00:39:52,280 --> 00:40:02,440
apart and to use it in the future as a possibility of having an offshore reef and normally

418
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:11,840
I'm opposed to any armoring or sea walls. It's a very short term vision, a bandaid,

419
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:21,780
on a situation that's much larger. So I would like it that the pilings that are being installed

420
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:33,480
in the future could also be part of that offshore reef and I hope that our city leaders here

421
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:40,620
can have the vision to look beyond the immediate emotional attachment to this structure

422
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:50,500
and to think about how it could benefit the whole community not only to stabilize and to diminish

423
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:57,160
the impact of erosion along the coast from the offshore reef. But also to create habitat.

424
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:06,280
So that's always a priority for me is creating habitat. So I thank you all and I hope you

425
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:12,920
keep a broad vision on what can be as we move forward into the future. Thank you.

426
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:20,460
Thank you so much,

427
00:41:20,460 --> 00:41:25,820
questions, draws over again. I'm not sure if you're on general public comment or on the

428
00:41:25,820 --> 00:41:29,080
consent agenda. So come up with that's for a break.

429
00:41:29,540 --> 00:41:34,240
I like mayor of the vice mayor. You don't, my turn? Okay, great. I'm like

430
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:41,720
woman. Is that good, D2? Thank you mayor, vice mayor, city council staff and members of

431
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:48,420
the public. Speaking today about the consent calendar item one, general budget, approval of

432
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:57,400
And looking through the list, and it's not really super clear to a general member of the public as to what each of these expenses are.

433
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,960
I don't know if it's even necessarily clear to City Council or to this staff.

434
00:42:03,020 --> 00:42:09,040
But it'd be extremely helpful to be able to drill into these and see, hey, this expense is related to this contract.

435
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,680
This is milestone six. This is what's left in that budget item.

436
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:18,400
Because I see items in here of the $5 million, we're like $2.5 million dollars.

437
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,320
I could answer to what this was, plan JPA.

438
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,000
Apparently this is a joint insurance program for multiple city minospobies.

439
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:26,720
Great, awesome.

440
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,800
Well, what does that provide us for coverage?

441
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,920
Well, what percentage of that is that of one-time fee?

442
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,120
Is that monthly quarterly?

443
00:42:35,540 --> 00:42:37,720
It's semi-annually, no way to tell that from here.

444
00:42:38,340 --> 00:42:40,780
Other things, I mean, I see law enforcement tools.

445
00:42:40,780 --> 00:42:49,960
I see money to an RV park, it's just not at all clear what the expenses, what the frequency

446
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,340
of that expenses, what the ceiling of that expense will be.

447
00:42:53,780 --> 00:42:58,840
And without that kind of information, how can people understand what is it we're spending?

448
00:42:59,780 --> 00:43:05,320
So I know we have a budget crisis here, we need to raise more income, but we also need

449
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:06,260
to track our expenditures.

450
00:43:06,260 --> 00:43:13,800
So please provide the public and city staff, a method by which we can actually look into these items.

451
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:20,740
My preference would be perhaps an online tool that you can just search, maybe see an Excel spreadsheet, click into and say,

452
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,040
ah, this is how much we paid, you know, the sign guy this year.

453
00:43:25,740 --> 00:43:26,860
Thank you.

454
00:43:30,020 --> 00:43:30,540
Sam?

455
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:32,180
Can you see us?

456
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:33,000
Please go ahead.

457
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,200
Good evening, City Council.

458
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,160
Tonight I would like to address consent item number nine,

459
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,160
the approval of the consulting services agreement

460
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:46,300
with Recon consultants for the Hillside Meadows Project.

461
00:43:47,740 --> 00:43:51,740
I am providing comments on it because there is a serious issue

462
00:43:51,740 --> 00:43:54,380
with the contract and the full scope of the project.

463
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,380
I'm a lifelong advocate for our affordable safe housing

464
00:43:58,380 --> 00:44:00,420
and this project just isn't it.

465
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,940
The whole community is a poses project

466
00:44:02,940 --> 00:44:09,180
because it is an ecological hazard zone that most likely should not be built on contains protected species

467
00:44:09,180 --> 00:44:13,480
and should be considered in the larger scope of the full true development that includes a

468
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:20,920
linamar development application, which sits on a fire hazard zone. The applicant needs to include

469
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:27,260
both parts of the development application as one development, but so to appropriately address all EIR issues.

470
00:44:27,260 --> 00:44:30,940
and task 4.1, the updated biological resource assessment.

471
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,920
There's several issues with it.

472
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,120
First, the total impact traffic mitigation,

473
00:44:36,580 --> 00:44:38,080
including emergency egress,

474
00:44:38,260 --> 00:44:40,320
can not be adequately addressed without including

475
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,900
the full potential build-out of the parcels

476
00:44:42,900 --> 00:44:46,100
that need to include SB9, SB10,

477
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,960
and other recent density bonus considerations

478
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,720
in the impact of the larger Dlinomar Woods project.

479
00:44:52,580 --> 00:44:55,780
The project also sits on a natural depression

480
00:44:55,780 --> 00:44:59,960
since it sits in the watershed of the Lindemar Valley and also includes.

481
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:16,860
Use the watershed runoff coming from Shamrock Ranch. This site will naturally have a shallow water table and underground springs causing any development on it to result in significant flood water runoff to the adjacent homes down below in Linda Marr, which we know we have to protect.

482
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:22,220
This runoff impacts impact needs to be addressed in the EIR.

483
00:45:22,940 --> 00:45:27,860
The proposal also states that Rinkong will assess the existence of protected species, including

484
00:45:27,860 --> 00:45:30,880
crutches, bumblebee, and the Western ponderonal.

485
00:45:31,460 --> 00:45:35,640
But it does not address the assessment of the California Red League frog, which has a

486
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:41,860
high likelihood of habitat at this site due to the wetland characteristics and they identified

487
00:45:41,860 --> 00:45:48,200
habitats upstream at Chevrolet Ranch in the area below San Pedro Habitat, San Pedro

488
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:53,500
Creek Habitat. For all these concerns outlined above, the site requires a much more

489
00:45:53,500 --> 00:46:00,020
expanded scope for the EIR to address all the practical environmental impacts and is necessary

490
00:46:00,020 --> 00:46:03,580
for the component to be compliant with SIGWA. Thank you very much.

491
00:46:06,590 --> 00:46:07,090
Thank you, Sam.

492
00:46:09,010 --> 00:46:14,350
And Sebastian, I'm guessing I'm going to save your car for general public comment.

493
00:46:16,550 --> 00:46:18,890
So that's all I have on the Consequent Courser Anyone online?

494
00:46:19,070 --> 00:46:19,830
Your no-reasons.

495
00:46:20,990 --> 00:46:22,730
With that, I'll close public comment.

496
00:46:24,830 --> 00:46:30,250
If I could just ask just a couple of follow-up questions to some of the public questions.

497
00:46:32,290 --> 00:46:45,370
So, yeah, agenda item one has all the checks and disbursements where I'm used to seeing more detailed information about what is spent and how it's allocated goes on the quarterly financial reports.

498
00:46:46,510 --> 00:46:53,910
Is that correct or is there some other process of sharing more information?

499
00:46:53,910 --> 00:47:23,050
That is correct, the quarterly disbursements, the quarterly report has much more detail about the items than the annual checks, it's sort of a disbursement registry, and we are working on an online portal that would offer more details on budget that would give people the ability to lifetime, which is always risky because a lot of what we do is lumpy, as was mentioned by one of the other speakers with our insurance plan payment.

500
00:47:23,910 --> 00:47:30,410
but it gives you, it will give the public an opportunity to see where we are in actual year-to-date

501
00:47:30,410 --> 00:47:35,550
as of that day and hopefully we'll be able to roll that out in the next couple of months.

502
00:47:36,130 --> 00:47:37,090
Okay, thank you.

503
00:47:37,710 --> 00:47:46,070
And then on the EIR for Healthside Meadows, I know generally the first step in any EIR is a notice

504
00:47:46,070 --> 00:47:50,470
of preparation where the public can be involved and bring out these kind of issues to make sure

505
00:47:50,470 --> 00:47:56,170
things are covered, is that still they're appropriate way to do that, and then if we're

506
00:47:56,170 --> 00:48:01,210
approving a contract for a certain amount, but then more work needs to be done, you would

507
00:48:01,210 --> 00:48:06,710
just come back to us, I assume, with a greater fee, right? I mean, all this is reimbursable

508
00:48:06,710 --> 00:48:11,350
to the developer. That is correct. We would follow that process, and the notice of preparation

509
00:48:11,910 --> 00:48:20,450
is the stage in which issues in the EIR can also be raised. Thank you. Any other questions?

510
00:48:20,450 --> 00:48:21,510
comments from Council?

511
00:48:22,710 --> 00:48:31,230
Have a quick question for the city attorney. Is it necessary to acknowledge any expertise in regards to any of the items on the consent calendar?

512
00:48:33,740 --> 00:48:37,280
Yes, if there are expertise, it would be appropriate to reference them.

513
00:48:37,460 --> 00:48:42,300
Then I've had at least four conversations with David,

514
00:48:42,300 --> 00:48:47,700
to make their President of Powers and Associates trying to understand and get a better understanding

515
00:48:47,700 --> 00:48:50,120
of what's going on out there.

516
00:48:51,620 --> 00:48:55,380
So I am familiar with him, Ms. Engineering.

517
00:48:59,420 --> 00:49:02,640
Does that set up a complication for voting to have a calendar?

518
00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:08,800
No, conversations are fine, that doesn't represent a conflict, okay, all right, great.

519
00:49:09,100 --> 00:49:09,180
Thank you.

520
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,540
All right, with that, I'll take a motion.

521
00:49:11,540 --> 00:49:13,520
Mm-hmm.

522
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,180
Move the approval of the consent agenda.

523
00:49:18,890 --> 00:49:19,170
Second.

524
00:49:19,870 --> 00:49:20,830
Okay, please vote.

525
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:35,060
The motion to approve the consent agenda made by Councilmember Beckmire, seconded by Vice Mayor Wright, the vote passes unanimously.

526
00:49:36,260 --> 00:49:37,040
Thank you.

527
00:49:37,980 --> 00:49:45,280
Okay, and that moves us to comments, public comments on items not on the agenda, and I have a bunch of cards.

528
00:49:45,300 --> 00:49:45,960
I'm not counted.

529
00:49:46,660 --> 00:49:51,860
But we'll have a shorter agenda today, so I want to make sure everyone has their three minutes.

530
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:58,960
So we'll start with Sebastian Strasser, followed by Max, followed by Pete Schumacher.

531
00:50:00,100 --> 00:50:04,260
And if you don't mind lining up so that we don't lose too much time in between that would be really great.

532
00:50:13,700 --> 00:50:14,640
Oh, should I start now?

533
00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:15,660
Yes, yes, please.

534
00:50:15,780 --> 00:50:16,040
Thank you.

535
00:50:16,540 --> 00:50:23,740
We have all of these commissions dedicated to supporting the city and climate resilience, economic development, zoning, and so on.

536
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:30,800
It's straightforward that the city council can't do every business on every matter on its own.

537
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:40,740
We get stakeholders to do the tough job of asking hard questions and doing the harder work of governing for us all.

538
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:52,420
At least I would hope that with this we can do better than the cities that would force AI data centers down the throats and in other cities where local governments are giving up their neighbor's ties.

539
00:50:52,420 --> 00:50:59,900
And with that, I see no reason why automatic license plate readers should be any different.

540
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:11,780
Policy 435 is specific a PD's guidance on capturing storing and using all the data from ALPRs.

541
00:51:11,780 --> 00:51:18,280
It says quote that a reasonable suspicion or probable cause is not required before using an ALPR in quote.

542
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:23,180
That is a gross, blatant violation of warrants,

543
00:51:23,420 --> 00:51:26,780
probable cause, and individualized particularized

544
00:51:26,780 --> 00:51:28,000
suspicions of wrongdoing.

545
00:51:28,300 --> 00:51:31,960
That the Fourth Amendment requires to use to search us.

546
00:51:32,220 --> 00:51:35,680
In your time, where a Texas sheriff can use

547
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,780
flock to access thousands of camera databases

548
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,600
to target a woman who got an abortion,

549
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,180
and others who have stalked their partners.

550
00:51:43,820 --> 00:51:46,200
Pacific can rise up and do better.

551
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:51,960
It is, in my personal opinion, as someone who has lived in this town for nearly 20 years,

552
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,940
that flock safety outright just should not be welcome in our town.

553
00:51:56,580 --> 00:52:01,440
But as far as all of our shared collective governance is concerned, let's get some serious

554
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:02,020
oversight.

555
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,020
Let's support our friends in the city council.

556
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,940
There should be an advising body to the city council with some real power in its hands

557
00:52:09,940 --> 00:52:12,880
to conduct public hearings and ask serious questions.

558
00:52:13,660 --> 00:52:25,900
We need watchdogs that are wholly outside the Pacific APD command structure that go through the very same public appointments process as the aforementioned commissions I said earlier.

559
00:52:26,540 --> 00:52:29,720
Every day, Pacificans, Workers, Activists.

560
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:36,800
Parents, students, a lawyer or two perhaps should deliberate on pauses, bans and other reforms.

561
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:42,800
Please city council, get to work on getting all of our rights, the reverence that they deserve.

562
00:52:43,580 --> 00:52:47,640
Because if civic a PD has nothing to fear on this issue then they should have nothing to hide.

563
00:52:48,020 --> 00:52:48,580
Thank you.

564
00:52:48,580 --> 00:52:48,960
Thank you.

565
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:49,380
Thank you.

566
00:52:51,140 --> 00:52:51,620
Next.

567
00:52:52,260 --> 00:52:52,800
Follow-up.

568
00:52:53,060 --> 00:52:54,120
I'm going to interrupt you.

569
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,620
Yeah, we try not to clap because it interrupts and slows down the meeting.

570
00:52:57,620 --> 00:53:02,700
so your hands are better if you agree and we can see you better that way too so I really

571
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:11,000
appreciate that. So Max Pete and then Ren Murphy. Hello my name is Max Marino. I am a Mexican

572
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:18,860
American citizen and I feel like we should take off lock not in Pacifica because I have to have

573
00:53:18,860 --> 00:53:25,800
been doing data and I realize that I use this lock and I don't think any kid or any teen should

574
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:31,800
be afraid for their parents and or having nightmares of their parents getting deported or getting

575
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:36,780
shot by ICE agents because they don't want to leave a stolen land.

576
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:43,940
And I don't think no one wants to see their own parents in a car getting dragged out of

577
00:53:43,940 --> 00:53:48,220
a car because they want to have aliens out of a stolen land.

578
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,600
And I don't think any kids should be thinking about it or I don't think any adult should

579
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:56,480
be having to worry about, oh, am I going to get the point at the next day?

580
00:53:56,720 --> 00:53:59,420
Oh, I'm scared to go to work because what if they call ice on me?

581
00:53:59,660 --> 00:54:00,740
I don't think no one should think of that.

582
00:54:00,980 --> 00:54:06,400
And I think we should take, we should be having flawed cameras anywhere in the San Mateo

583
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,740
County or anywhere in the United States, honestly.

584
00:54:10,620 --> 00:54:11,560
So thank you for your time.

585
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:12,360
Thank you so much.

586
00:54:16,450 --> 00:54:16,810
Peace.

587
00:54:16,810 --> 00:54:22,450
Thank you, Mr. Murphy, and then Adam, to, to, to Ralph's.

588
00:54:22,790 --> 00:54:24,550
All right, peachy maker, Valemar.

589
00:54:24,650 --> 00:54:27,190
I'm speaking on a measure that's going to be on the upcoming ballot.

590
00:54:27,810 --> 00:54:29,090
No, no, no, November 3rd.

591
00:54:29,270 --> 00:54:35,810
This is measure B, B. This is the one cent tax on non-essential items that is going to Pacifica.

592
00:54:35,930 --> 00:54:41,030
Only 100% goes to Pacifica, and it's desperately needed to maintain our,

593
00:54:41,470 --> 00:54:44,470
our essential services and keep the city financially stable.

594
00:54:45,530 --> 00:54:49,690
Brief background on Macy, you can judge and see if my opinion on this is credible or not.

595
00:54:49,930 --> 00:54:53,630
On my wife and I came here 37 years ago raised to our kids here, working on the grandchildren.

596
00:54:54,430 --> 00:54:59,490
We've been involved, I've been involved in the city stuff from the beginning from the tunnel to coaching soccer

597
00:54:59,490 --> 00:55:02,850
to being on all kinds of committees when the general plan was up for review.

598
00:55:03,510 --> 00:55:06,670
I read every page of the 400 page of the plan on most of the 1000 page.

599
00:55:07,350 --> 00:55:11,550
Environmental impact report, unfortunately, and also I was about a dozen years ago.

600
00:55:11,550 --> 00:55:14,910
I was at a city financing committee with a lot of other citizens.

601
00:55:15,170 --> 00:55:18,250
We literally went over every line item of the city budget.

602
00:55:19,350 --> 00:55:24,310
So in all of that time and continued to do so, I've seen that Pacific has been managed very

603
00:55:24,310 --> 00:55:28,490
regionally and responsibly, certainly on par with other cities in the region.

604
00:55:29,130 --> 00:55:31,950
Any city can look back and look on decisions that they should have made better.

605
00:55:32,390 --> 00:55:35,990
And we have that of course, but no more than other cities in the region.

606
00:55:35,990 --> 00:55:41,530
We have, right now, we have the New City Manager, staff, the current council, upcoming council

607
00:55:41,530 --> 00:55:43,370
and all the wash dogs that are here.

608
00:55:43,670 --> 00:55:48,130
I feel like we've got a lot of people watching to make sure that this money is spent

609
00:55:48,130 --> 00:55:48,810
responsibly.

610
00:55:49,610 --> 00:55:52,290
So, I'm looking over the city line item of the city budget.

611
00:55:52,710 --> 00:55:57,690
I was impressed not with the waste fraud and corruption that a lot of people alleged, with

612
00:55:57,690 --> 00:56:05,970
unfounded from out front of my eyes, but I was impressed with the efficiency in the, and

613
00:56:05,970 --> 00:56:09,430
into my head that I think, oh, the city ought to do this and say money, either they had

614
00:56:09,430 --> 00:56:13,550
already thought of it, done it, or were about to do it, and if they didn't do it, it was

615
00:56:13,550 --> 00:56:19,370
probably not a good idea. So I'm very confident that we really, really need this measure,

616
00:56:19,530 --> 00:56:25,210
measure BB, and I urge you all to vote, yes, on the upcoming BB on November 3rd. Thank

617
00:56:25,210 --> 00:56:25,710
you.

618
00:56:25,710 --> 00:56:26,470
Thank you, Pete.

619
00:56:27,530 --> 00:56:31,270
Uh, Seren Adam and then Elias Navanzo.

620
00:56:33,590 --> 00:56:34,190
Welcome, man.

621
00:56:35,650 --> 00:56:36,390
Hello everyone.

622
00:56:37,110 --> 00:56:39,130
It's nice to see something familiar faces tonight.

623
00:56:39,570 --> 00:56:42,170
For those who do not know me, my name is Dr. Ren Murphy.

624
00:56:42,710 --> 00:56:44,670
I have a doctorate in organizational psychology

625
00:56:44,670 --> 00:56:48,830
and experience working as a researcher in statistician for the last 10 years.

626
00:56:49,610 --> 00:56:51,770
Now the first thing that they taught me in stats 101

627
00:56:51,770 --> 00:56:55,230
is that correlation does not equal causation.

628
00:56:55,770 --> 00:56:59,270
That basically means that just because two things happen around the same time,

629
00:56:59,610 --> 00:57:01,530
it doesn't mean that one cause the other.

630
00:57:01,990 --> 00:57:06,790
For example, it would be silly to say that I get a somber in every time I eat ice cream.

631
00:57:07,130 --> 00:57:09,690
We'd be missing the context that the sun plays.

632
00:57:10,550 --> 00:57:14,490
So, I suggest in this case, that we can't forget about context,

633
00:57:14,850 --> 00:57:17,650
when we talk about flock cameras and lowering crime rate.

634
00:57:17,650 --> 00:57:24,090
I did do my own research to educate myself on how we can increase public safety for the people of Pacifica.

635
00:57:24,490 --> 00:57:29,630
I used years of publicly available Pacifica crime data and GPS coordinates of those cameras.

636
00:57:30,270 --> 00:57:36,750
I also reviewed published academic studies to see what folks in criminology, sociology, and public health had to say.

637
00:57:37,450 --> 00:57:38,450
In my findings, we're clear.

638
00:57:39,130 --> 00:57:45,530
There is no statistically significant difference in crime near the cameras before after they were installed.

639
00:57:46,230 --> 00:57:51,830
And this is pretty on par with what decades of research on ALPR's effectiveness of lowering

640
00:57:51,830 --> 00:57:52,910
crime tests.

641
00:57:53,250 --> 00:57:57,030
Crime rates typically follow regional trends or economic shifts.

642
00:57:57,370 --> 00:57:59,830
Correlation does not equal causation.

643
00:58:00,730 --> 00:58:03,850
So I asked the council here tonight to consider this.

644
00:58:04,210 --> 00:58:08,950
Instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars on reactionary, surveillance, subscriptions

645
00:58:08,950 --> 00:58:14,690
that have not proven to make us safer, we should invest in true prevention.

646
00:58:14,690 --> 00:58:19,210
I'm talking about prevention that is rooted in community care and not fear.

647
00:58:19,930 --> 00:58:21,070
I do have three examples.

648
00:58:21,910 --> 00:58:24,570
One is that we could put money towards upgrading our street lighting,

649
00:58:24,970 --> 00:58:27,790
which has been found to reduce outdoor crime at night.

650
00:58:28,310 --> 00:58:31,390
Two, we could create community-engaged public spaces

651
00:58:31,390 --> 00:58:35,410
as they have been found to significantly deter violent and property crime

652
00:58:35,410 --> 00:58:38,470
by fostering natural community-driven social control.

653
00:58:39,430 --> 00:58:43,370
And finally, we could expand peer-sease emergency financial assistance

654
00:58:43,370 --> 00:58:49,190
Because one time financial assistance has been proven to drop overall crime, especially violent offenses.

655
00:58:50,030 --> 00:58:56,970
I would be very, very happy to meet with any of you and all of you to talk about these interventions and review my research, one-on-one.

656
00:58:57,290 --> 00:58:58,090
Thank you for your time.

657
00:58:58,450 --> 00:59:00,190
Thank you so much for your

658
00:59:03,100 --> 00:59:03,100
time.

659
00:59:03,300 --> 00:59:05,900
So Adam, Eliza and then Kim Kale,

660
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:12,700
hello, welcome.

661
00:59:14,420 --> 00:59:18,240
Good evening Pacifica City Council members and fellow Pacifica residents.

662
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:25,180
My name is Adam Dubber Volski, I've been a Pacifica resident for over six years, and I work in the commercial construction industry.

663
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:35,540
I'm here tonight to talk about not only the renewal of the flawed contract potentially in Pacifica, but just general usage of flawed technology as a whole.

664
00:59:36,660 --> 00:59:42,800
When government asks the surrender privacy and exchange for safety, history tells us that we should be extremely skeptical.

665
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,040
We have been here before.

666
00:59:45,700 --> 00:59:48,400
After September 11th, Congress passed the Patriot Act.

667
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:54,540
Section 215 was ultimately used to justify the NSA's bulk collection of Americans' telephone metadata.

668
00:59:55,260 --> 00:59:59,980
Collecting records on millions of people, not because they were suspected of crimes, but because of the government.

669
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,020
Government argued that collecting information and bulk could help find the people who were. In ACLU vs. Clapper, the

670
01:00:07,020 --> 01:00:12,840
second circuit court of appeals ruled that this bulk telephone records program was not authorized by the Patriot Act.

671
01:00:13,220 --> 01:00:18,500
Think about that lesson. An extraordinary surveillance power was created in the name of public safety.

672
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,440
The government interpreted that authority expansively, a massive database was built.

673
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,900
And only years later, after the program became public that our federal appeals court

674
01:00:27,900 --> 01:00:32,400
conclude that the statute would be relied upon to not authorize the bulk collection.

675
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,560
This is why exactly, this is exactly why we should be cautious about building surveillance

676
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,740
infrastructure first and promising safeguards later.

677
01:00:41,380 --> 01:00:45,860
The Supreme Court is repeatedly recognized that technology changes the constitutional equation.

678
01:00:46,700 --> 01:00:50,920
In the United States versus Jones, the government tracked a vehicle by GPS for 28 days.

679
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,820
The Supreme Court held that the government's conduct constituted a Fourth Amendment

680
01:00:54,820 --> 01:00:55,420
search.

681
01:00:56,060 --> 01:01:00,000
Five justice is separately recognized as a profound private concede concerns created by

682
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,860
prolonged tracking of someone's movements.

683
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:07,000
Then, in Carpenter of the United States, the Supreme Court confronted historical location

684
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,600
information from cell phones, the court recognized that aggregating location data

685
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:16,160
can create a detailed chronicle of a person's movements and held without obtaining

686
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,900
the records that issue constituted a Fourth Amendment search requiring a warring.

687
01:01:19,900 --> 01:01:23,600
Floor cameras raise the same fundamental, fundamental concern.

688
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:28,660
One camera seen one license plate is one thing, a network of cameras recording where thousands

689
01:01:28,660 --> 01:01:33,520
of innocent people travel, storing those observations, making them searchable, and potentially

690
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,360
connecting them across to jurisdictions is something fundamentally differing.

691
01:01:37,620 --> 01:01:40,800
There is no longer simply observing a car on a public street.

692
01:01:41,260 --> 01:01:44,480
It creates the infrastructure to reconstruct a person's life,

693
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,140
and the overwhelming majority

694
01:01:48,140 --> 01:01:51,320
of people being recorded are not suspected of committing any crimes.

695
01:01:51,940 --> 01:01:56,980
The ACLU reports a less than 1% of vehicle skin by LPR systems are associated with

696
01:01:56,980 --> 01:01:58,200
suspected wrongdoing.

697
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:00,900
That means we are not merely surveilling suspects.

698
01:02:01,060 --> 01:02:03,780
We are surveilling the public in order to find suspects.

699
01:02:04,100 --> 01:02:05,340
Those are very different principles.

700
01:02:06,260 --> 01:02:11,820
And surveillance infrastructure does not remain confined to the jurisdiction of, it's originally

701
01:02:11,820 --> 01:02:16,360
given to, if it was creating it, California has already seen litigation involving law,

702
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,940
enforcement sharing billions of license plate and location records with

703
01:02:19,940 --> 01:02:21,820
public federal and out of state agency.

704
01:02:22,020 --> 01:02:24,460
Sorry, your time is up.

705
01:02:24,780 --> 01:02:28,480
Would you mind, if you have more to share, would you mind putting in an email to us

706
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,540
City Council at Pacifica.gov.

707
01:02:31,300 --> 01:02:32,100
Thank you so very much.

708
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:32,500
Thank you.

709
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:33,300
Thanks for being here.

710
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,520
So, Elizna followed by Kim and then caught to go.

711
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,600
Good evening City Council and fellow neighbors.

712
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:52,720
My name is Elisna Vensile, or Liz is what I go by, and I've been a pacific a resident

713
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:56,520
that was my husband there for the last several years.

714
01:02:58,260 --> 01:03:01,420
I work as an emergency department pharmacist in the South Bay.

715
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,560
Through my work as a healthcare professional, I've come to appreciate the way that individuals

716
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,760
privacy should be guarded and respected.

717
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:13,800
Our privacy is tightly linked to our ability to authentically and freely move about in the world.

718
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,600
Express ourselves and to feel safe doing so.

719
01:03:17,900 --> 01:03:20,100
I'm reaching out to you because of the pacific of

720
01:03:20,100 --> 01:03:24,280
flawed contract that will renew if the council does not vote to cancel it.

721
01:03:24,620 --> 01:03:30,120
Because of ALPR's every single one of our neighbors, even persons with nothing to hide

722
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:34,620
are being surveilled indiscriminately.

723
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,900
We are being exposed to mass data harvesting and vulnerable to the

724
01:03:40,900 --> 01:03:43,040
technological weaknesses of these cameras.

725
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:47,860
The cameras are like an AI-enabled drag net that captures the movement patterns in digital

726
01:03:47,860 --> 01:03:52,840
fingerprints of innocent and guilty alike, and the rapid expansion of ALPRs such as

727
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:57,580
flock and axon and their exponentially expanding capabilities, worry me a great deal.

728
01:03:58,700 --> 01:04:02,240
At the time of the initial flock pilot program, there was not a lot of information about

729
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,640
the security weaknesses that these cameras pose.

730
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,500
With the information that the council had at the time, I understand why it obtained

731
01:04:08,500 --> 01:04:09,920
and trial-based technology.

732
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,320
However, as many folks in cities across the U.S. are discovering,

733
01:04:13,940 --> 01:04:15,840
there are irreducible privacy issues

734
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,000
with the indiscriminate surveillance program.

735
01:04:18,980 --> 01:04:22,580
Multiple cities, 55 contracts in the last 21 days,

736
01:04:22,780 --> 01:04:24,500
have terminated their contracts with flock

737
01:04:24,500 --> 01:04:28,100
as a result of the serious violation of the public's trust

738
01:04:28,780 --> 01:04:30,480
and Fourth Amendment rights.

739
01:04:30,820 --> 01:04:33,640
I rely on you to keep my family and my neighbors safe

740
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:37,640
from surveillance, data theft and abduction.

741
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:50,860
I humbly ask to protect us from warrantless surveillance by not only the police, but by government agencies like ICE and DHS who have unrestricted back door access to flock and their agglomerated data.

742
01:04:51,260 --> 01:04:55,520
If you'd like to meet or speak with me in person, I would be very appreciative of your time.

743
01:04:56,260 --> 01:05:01,780
Thank you for your time and your service to Pacifica and have a good night.

744
01:05:05,780 --> 01:05:08,840
So Kim, Katta, and then Laura Obergon.

745
01:05:10,780 --> 01:05:13,360
Do I get a warning buzz or is it just-

746
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,800
Yeah, there's a one-minute warning, so it'll turn over.

747
01:05:15,860 --> 01:05:18,980
Oh, and then you have one more minute after that.

748
01:05:22,490 --> 01:05:23,150
Good evening.

749
01:05:23,510 --> 01:05:24,910
Thanks for having me.

750
01:05:25,330 --> 01:05:29,110
My name is Kim, and I've lived in Pacifica for 30 years,

751
01:05:29,110 --> 01:05:35,670
Brace 2 daughters here and I'm also a member of the local and divisible group. I want

752
01:05:35,670 --> 01:05:41,210
to express my concern with the Float Cameras in Pacifica and ask that you cancel the contract

753
01:05:41,210 --> 01:05:47,310
and remove the cameras. I urge you to take some time to learn about Clock Safety. It is a

754
01:05:47,310 --> 01:05:53,190
flawed organization. Their network is not secure. It is easily hackable and they are driven

755
01:05:53,190 --> 01:05:55,110
by profit, not by safety.

756
01:05:55,910 --> 01:05:58,470
Float cameras and mass surveillance is dangerous.

757
01:05:59,250 --> 01:06:02,530
Citizens are presumed innocent until proven guilty of a crime.

758
01:06:03,190 --> 01:06:05,590
Mass surveillance removes the presumption of innocence

759
01:06:05,590 --> 01:06:09,330
in assumes that we are permanently suspicious of a crime.

760
01:06:10,470 --> 01:06:12,950
It's an assault on what it means to be an American.

761
01:06:13,910 --> 01:06:16,890
There are many instances of errors made by their cameras.

762
01:06:17,170 --> 01:06:21,230
It will only take one error for someone to file a lawsuit

763
01:06:21,230 --> 01:06:27,910
against our city. We say that we're a sanctuary city, it is not difficult for a bad actor

764
01:06:27,910 --> 01:06:33,890
or corrupt federal agency to tap into the flock network and data collected a pacifica

765
01:06:33,890 --> 01:06:38,150
and use it to terrorize women, immigrants, and marginalized communities.

766
01:06:39,990 --> 01:06:46,070
Your position with these cameras is that if we give our personal liberty and freedom,

767
01:06:46,070 --> 01:06:53,410
you will keep us safe. By implementing mass surveillance in Pacifica, we weren't asked if we

768
01:06:53,410 --> 01:06:59,050
wanted to give up our freedom or personal liberties in our privacy. You guys just took it with

769
01:06:59,050 --> 01:07:05,310
all due respect. Trading our liberty in freedom for safety is fundamentally a bad bargain.

770
01:07:05,830 --> 01:07:11,070
When citizens hand over their freedoms for safety, we assume the government's benevolent.

771
01:07:15,170 --> 01:07:15,610
However,

772
01:07:15,610 --> 01:07:20,290
concentration of power that creates room for severe abuses of power.

773
01:07:20,790 --> 01:07:26,810
The ACLU has found agencies routinely violating laws, policies, and

774
01:07:26,810 --> 01:07:28,910
guardrails that protect our privacy.

775
01:07:29,750 --> 01:07:29,970
I don't...

776
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:43,440
What have an issue with the police? This is not a problem with the police. This is a problem of giving any agency for person so much power and hoping that they will have the will to not abuse that power.

777
01:07:44,100 --> 01:07:57,580
I believe it would be difficult for anyone including myself to hold so much power and not be corrupted by it. I understand the allure of wanting safety, wanting to ensure that we are all safe.

778
01:07:57,580 --> 01:08:01,360
Unfortunately, there is no world in which we are all safe.

779
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:02,760
It does not exist.

780
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:08,860
Our best chance for safe community is for the community to work together and support each other.

781
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:13,300
Flot cameras will only create more divisions and make us less safe.

782
01:08:13,900 --> 01:08:15,420
Thanks again for hearing me out.

783
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:16,300
Thank you Kim.

784
01:08:18,500 --> 01:08:18,780
Okay.

785
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:23,080
Katata, Laura, and then Rubbing Reneels.

786
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:26,840
Katakums.

787
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:36,220
I'm here to bring attention to the city of an environmental lead contamination that exists at the former

788
01:08:36,220 --> 01:08:38,740
rifle range at Sharp Park.

789
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:47,260
I recently attended a meeting at Lake Merced, where the San Francisco Utilities Commission

790
01:08:47,260 --> 01:08:56,820
just completed an environmental cleanup of a former rifle range there at Lake Merced, where

791
01:08:56,820 --> 01:09:01,580
The contaminated lead soil was removed from the site.

792
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:08,100
This is not the case that is happening right now in our community.

793
01:09:09,060 --> 01:09:15,140
The city of San Francisco who has the responsibility for this cleanup has merely put

794
01:09:15,140 --> 01:09:19,000
a cement cap on the contaminated area.

795
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:29,020
I spoke with Christopher Campbell, the Natural Resource Manager of Sharp Park, and asked

796
01:09:29,020 --> 01:09:32,440
him specific questions about the testing.

797
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:40,980
He informed me that there has been testing done on the soil, but that no testing of the nearby

798
01:09:40,980 --> 01:09:48,540
stream that wraps around two sides of this cap-to-contaminated area has taken place.

799
01:09:49,420 --> 01:09:57,500
This is the primary watershed for the San Francisco Garder Snake and the Red League of

800
01:09:57,500 --> 01:10:03,620
Frog and the multitude of other wildlife that reside in that valley.

801
01:10:03,620 --> 01:10:15,720
This is a huge concern to me, and this, the price of cleaning this up and the responsibility falls on the city of San Francisco.

802
01:10:16,980 --> 01:10:24,480
It would cost the city of Pacific a nothing to pressure San Francisco to clean up the site.

803
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:30,900
They just did it like Merced. I would like to see this happen here as well. Thank you.

804
01:10:30,900 --> 01:10:31,880
Thank you, Katta.

805
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,080
Okay Laura, Rubin, and then Margot Mike.

806
01:10:43,340 --> 01:10:43,720
Good evening.

807
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:49,160
I'm Laura Obergon, and I'm a city of citizen of Pacifica,

808
01:10:49,540 --> 01:10:52,180
and I'm here to talk about the plot cameras as well.

809
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,600
Recently was invited by my neighbor

810
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,120
to a rotary club meeting, which I'd never been to,

811
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:05,500
and our new city manager, you were there talking about the budget.

812
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:08,480
And I was quite frankly horrified.

813
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:15,880
about our budget. I've not really been involved in politics or the city that much to this

814
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:22,840
extent and it was pretty scary. I am a member of Coastside United and divisible and we recently

815
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:29,620
were taught about the flop cameras and it seemed like a pretty easy connection get rid of the

816
01:11:29,620 --> 01:11:35,500
flop cameras that are costing us money to help with our budget issue. The more that I've learned

817
01:11:35,500 --> 01:11:42,080
about these cameras that seems like such a violation on our Fourth Amendment, right, and how

818
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:46,200
it's going to divide the community instead of make us safer.

819
01:11:48,460 --> 01:11:55,360
Pacific is such a special place to live, and we have so many things going for us.

820
01:11:55,840 --> 01:12:03,360
We are supposed to be a sanctuary city here where we are looking out for our community and

821
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:05,200
the citizens here.

822
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,480
and these flat cameras are doing the exact opposite.

823
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:17,500
They also, one of the things is there's California SB 34 is a state law that explicitly

824
01:12:17,500 --> 01:12:22,300
bans sharing ALPR data without a state federal agencies.

825
01:12:23,780 --> 01:12:31,540
So many audits have been done that show that out of federal agencies and ice are able to

826
01:12:31,540 --> 01:12:36,720
backdoor ways and to get this data and that it's extremely concerning to me.

827
01:12:41,480 --> 01:12:42,000
I think one

828
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:51,060
of the ways that the city should look at this money issue is and making us safer is take

829
01:12:51,060 --> 01:12:57,020
this money that we're using for flock and build up our communities, make our communities safer

830
01:12:57,020 --> 01:13:05,420
with making sure every citizen here is supported in whatever they need. So I'm asking that you

831
01:13:05,420 --> 01:13:10,040
please cancel the contract. Thank you. Thank you, Leia.

832
01:13:12,020 --> 01:13:16,760
So we're being Margot and then Tukuno, Hirana.

833
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:27,880
Good evening, Council members. Madam Mayor, thank you. My name is Robin Reneels,

834
01:13:28,420 --> 01:13:33,560
a 50-year resident of West Sharp Park. It's hard to say.

835
01:13:34,300 --> 01:13:39,060
Makes me think of my age, but that's even worse. But anyway, I'm here as a member of the Board

836
01:13:39,060 --> 01:13:43,800
of the Pacific Coast Fog Fest and I'm here on my,

837
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:45,460
it seems like it's an annual thing

838
01:13:45,460 --> 01:13:48,780
I've been doing for years, which is the public sector

839
01:13:48,780 --> 01:13:51,440
arousing of registrations for the parade.

840
01:13:52,180 --> 01:13:53,980
And first I'd like to say council members,

841
01:13:54,060 --> 01:13:55,140
thank you for your registration.

842
01:13:55,380 --> 01:13:57,240
It's done, you're all set for the fire truck

843
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:58,260
with the fire department.

844
01:14:00,060 --> 01:14:01,520
I'm gonna go through the departments.

845
01:14:01,860 --> 01:14:04,280
I'd like to first invite our new city manager,

846
01:14:04,940 --> 01:14:08,420
Mr. Carpenter, we would love to honor you in the parade this year

847
01:14:08,420 --> 01:14:22,340
And we'd love the, I think joining us in registering for the parade will get you a car or PD can provide you a vehicle and if it gets a wonderful way for you to meet fog fest for the very first time is to go down the middle of Palmetto Avenue and meet the locals.

848
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:24,220
So please register.

849
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:28,520
Registration closes one week from today on the 31st.

850
01:14:28,700 --> 01:14:30,460
So that's a very important thing.

851
01:14:30,460 --> 01:14:38,100
So please come to the website, PacifichostFogFest.com and just go you'll see a button for the

852
01:14:38,100 --> 01:14:43,400
parade and registration and since you are city officials and city businesses and elected

853
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,500
officials, registration is free for you.

854
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:52,000
I'd also like to invite the PD to catch up on the registration of your two vehicles.

855
01:14:52,780 --> 01:14:53,560
She's not listening.

856
01:14:54,420 --> 01:14:59,980
and then public public works, public works, also needs to catch up and get there.

857
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,980
Registration in for the myriad of giant vehicles that go down the street every year. And part speeches in wreck. We would like part speeches wrecked to come back. They were honored as Grand Marshall's last year. Speaking of Grand Marshall's this year, we'll be honoring the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. So for after 250 years, we will be honoring as Grand Marshall's in the parade, our local veterans, our veterans of foreign wars,

858
01:15:29,980 --> 01:15:35,280
and we will have some interesting vehicles that will honor them and they can write in.

859
01:15:35,660 --> 01:15:40,620
We will also be honoring equally the very first inhabitants of this land, which is the

860
01:15:40,620 --> 01:15:45,740
Ramitutia Looney, and we have families representing that group that will be in the parade also.

861
01:15:46,500 --> 01:15:51,720
So everyone come on down and please register one week left for registration and tomorrow

862
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,960
I go after recology and North Coast County Water District.

863
01:15:55,340 --> 01:15:56,520
Thank you for your time.

864
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,000
Thank you so much, friends.

865
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:05,600
Welcome, Margot, to Cucco, and then Sofia, in Toronto.

866
01:16:11,480 --> 01:16:12,880
I'm going to use the box.

867
01:16:13,300 --> 01:16:13,520
Hi there.

868
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:22,660
I have two things to discuss Margot Myman representing first of all the Pacific Beach Coalition.

869
01:16:23,100 --> 01:16:31,880
The community to know and city council to know about Coastal Cleanup Day on September 19th.

870
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,760
It's the statewide event here in Pacifica happening

871
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:40,580
between 9 and 11 AM to note all of our events

872
01:16:40,580 --> 01:16:43,300
are happening on September 19th.

873
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,500
Instead of this, the rotational schedule

874
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:49,660
that we normally have are only event that is happening

875
01:16:49,660 --> 01:16:52,460
on its normal rotation is the Lindemar Habitat

876
01:16:52,460 --> 01:16:54,220
Restoration, but all the rest are happening

877
01:16:54,220 --> 01:16:57,100
on Saturday, September 19th.

878
01:16:57,540 --> 01:17:00,540
It's notable that this is the event where

879
01:17:00,540 --> 01:17:04,300
account every single piece of trash that we pick up, every single

880
01:17:04,300 --> 01:17:10,260
bottle cap, food, wrapper, cigarette, but we keep track of all of that.

881
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,900
And we send that data to the California Coastal Commission.

882
01:17:13,420 --> 01:17:17,980
And it's this kind of data that can impact state legislations.

883
01:17:18,020 --> 01:17:23,880
So for example, it was Coastal Cleanup Data that helped to enact our

884
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:33,520
The state's 2014 ban on single-use plastic bags and also helps to inform the more recent

885
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:35,460
update of that ban in 2020's deck.

886
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:39,960
So we would like to invite the community to join us for that event.

887
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:45,360
And also there's going to be an informal celebration afterwards at Humble C and everybody

888
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,120
is welcome to that as well.

889
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:55,420
So now, switching gears representing myself as a resident of District 5 and also giving voice

890
01:17:55,420 --> 01:18:02,140
to people who couldn't be here tonight in the community, I debated about whether to talk

891
01:18:02,140 --> 01:18:09,120
about this now or in the consent calendar, having to do with the Hillside Meadows project.

892
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:16,600
I just want to reiterate there is a lot of community opposition to that project.

893
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:24,680
because of the environmental impacts, traffic implications, infrastructure demands, all of the

894
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:25,100
above.

895
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:31,700
I do want to say that I'm glad to see that Rincon consultant is on the job to do the EIR,

896
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,340
the environmental impact report.

897
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:40,700
Rincon was the company that did the greenhouse gas emissions analysis for the climate action

898
01:18:40,700 --> 01:18:41,280
plan.

899
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:51,600
Rinkon Consultants is engaged with the San Mateo County and individuals cities throughout the county on their sustainability efforts.

900
01:18:52,720 --> 01:19:04,840
I have faith that when Rinkon does their environmental impact report, they are going to find all number of issues that will prevent the project from going forward.

901
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:18,820
But I do want to reiterate that transparency is really, really important, keeping the community up to date on what the steps are happening and when the community can be involved.

902
01:19:19,180 --> 01:19:19,500
Thank you.

903
01:19:19,540 --> 01:19:20,740
Thank you, my girl.

904
01:19:21,940 --> 01:19:25,300
So to Skukko, Sophia and then Latte Robas.

905
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,500
And I'm not seeing Tukuko come up.

906
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:34,640
So Sophia and Toronto.

907
01:19:35,260 --> 01:19:35,940
Oh, she's there.

908
01:19:36,180 --> 01:19:38,000
I see you.

909
01:19:38,340 --> 01:19:40,840
So if the other two people could line up, too, please.

910
01:19:41,440 --> 01:19:42,740
So Sophia and Latte.

911
01:19:44,780 --> 01:19:45,420
Yes, I did.

912
01:19:45,860 --> 01:19:47,400
Sorry, I'm not loud enough, apparently.

913
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:50,860
And yeah, please do use the little stuff there.

914
01:19:51,420 --> 01:19:53,360
So we can see you.

915
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:54,340
Thank you.

916
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:55,740
Kind of scary.

917
01:20:02,990 --> 01:20:03,050
All right.

918
01:20:03,170 --> 01:20:03,650
Good afternoon.

919
01:20:05,090 --> 01:20:07,530
Yeah, please put your mouth close to the mic.

920
01:20:07,570 --> 01:20:08,490
So we can hear you properly.

921
01:20:09,570 --> 01:20:09,770
Hello.

922
01:20:10,390 --> 01:20:11,330
Thank you.

923
01:20:12,710 --> 01:20:18,290
I think that public art should inspire love, peace,

924
01:20:19,350 --> 01:20:23,650
warmth, kindness, compassion, and generosity.

925
01:20:24,730 --> 01:20:30,050
Furthermore, that environment should bring feeding of safety

926
01:20:31,310 --> 01:20:34,070
and humanity, humanity.

927
01:20:34,630 --> 01:20:39,370
This building you are in right now is one of the best-looking Spanish

928
01:20:39,370 --> 01:20:41,450
style building in Pacifica.

929
01:20:41,450 --> 01:20:50,730
When someone painted the black on the outside wall of the building, I immediately felt uncomfortable.

930
01:20:52,470 --> 01:20:56,310
You do not paint the black on Spanish-style building.

931
01:20:57,590 --> 01:21:04,370
Spanish-style architecture does not use black paint on wall surfaces.

932
01:21:05,370 --> 01:21:10,370
I call the planning department to find out more about the public artwork.

933
01:21:10,370 --> 01:21:19,250
She said, you'd love a red lobster, not a red octopus.

934
01:21:21,590 --> 01:21:28,730
And then she said, if you don't like the artwork, you can use a different street.

935
01:21:30,250 --> 01:21:34,230
So am I supposed to detour my everyday drive course?

936
01:21:34,230 --> 01:21:47,210
And waste my gas and time to avoid public art, let octopus in that world as a public artwork appears in other cities too.

937
01:21:47,710 --> 01:21:55,370
However, the most octopus, which we have now, is very scary to me.

938
01:21:56,410 --> 01:22:02,330
Why don't you walk along next to the octopus wall after dark?

939
01:22:02,330 --> 01:22:05,350
Why don't you bring me your children,

940
01:22:06,190 --> 01:22:09,890
grant your children to octopus wall at night?

941
01:22:11,590 --> 01:22:14,590
One shiny eye, on the wall,

942
01:22:15,270 --> 01:22:17,990
look at you, and let long leg

943
01:22:17,990 --> 01:22:19,810
will love around your body.

944
01:22:20,990 --> 01:22:23,610
There is enough scary things going on in the world.

945
01:22:24,710 --> 01:22:29,410
Why don't we, why don't you have another scary things in peaceful?

946
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:38,900
Peace for Pacifica. City of Pacifica does not have to, does not have to copy artwork from another city.

947
01:22:39,220 --> 01:22:52,580
I strongly suggest you replace a scary monster red octopus with a new artwork which conveys love, peace, worms, kindness, generosity.

948
01:22:52,580 --> 01:22:59,440
I hope city future public artwork always promote safety and humanity.

949
01:23:00,060 --> 01:23:06,700
Finally, I want to tell you that a combination of red and black is color of the red,

950
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,780
color of the red and black.

951
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,280
So do not use red and black for your house.

952
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:15,620
Each color has a meaning.

953
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:17,060
Thank you very much.

954
01:23:17,260 --> 01:23:17,840
Thank you so much.

955
01:23:18,340 --> 01:23:18,660
Thank you.

956
01:23:18,660 --> 01:23:20,260
Thank you.

957
01:23:20,260 --> 01:23:23,320
So Sophia, latte, and then I need a read.

958
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:24,700
So good

959
01:23:27,930 --> 01:23:29,210
evening, council members.

960
01:23:29,410 --> 01:23:32,830
My name is Sophia and Trona and I'm a resident of Pacifica.

961
01:23:32,850 --> 01:23:34,910
I live on Esplanade Ave.

962
01:23:35,150 --> 01:23:39,050
I'm here tonight because I want to speak about an issue that has become increasingly

963
01:23:39,050 --> 01:23:45,030
frustrating for residents who live along Esplanade, the ongoing presidents of large.

964
01:23:45,310 --> 01:23:49,410
Are these parks along our street for extended periods of time?

965
01:23:49,410 --> 01:23:56,710
I want to be clear that I understand the complexity of homelessness and I understand that

966
01:23:56,710 --> 01:24:00,830
people living in vehicles need compassion and access to services.

967
01:24:01,490 --> 01:24:04,930
This is not about wanting to criminalize people for being unhoused.

968
01:24:05,470 --> 01:24:11,750
The truth is, the RV issue at the present moment is actually being largely caused by individuals

969
01:24:12,350 --> 01:24:15,770
who park their RVs and aren't specific or residents.

970
01:24:15,770 --> 01:24:27,210
They're parking their RVs, playing a weekly Tetris game, and they're renting their RVs for people to live in them with my knowledge is illegal.

971
01:24:28,410 --> 01:24:34,890
I think that this is something the city of Pacifica should investigate, and these reports deserve to be looked into.

972
01:24:34,890 --> 01:24:52,830
Pacifica already has a 72-hour parking roll under the current ordinance, a vehicle that remains in the same location for 72 hours consecutive hours must be moved and at least a thousand feet and cannot return within a thousand feet for another 24 hours.

973
01:24:53,170 --> 01:24:58,110
The city also has an abandoned vehicle hotline, which I think is a great resource.

974
01:24:58,110 --> 01:25:02,990
The problem is that from the perspective of residents on S on S grenade,

975
01:25:03,550 --> 01:25:06,150
Inforts enforcement have not been consistent.

976
01:25:06,790 --> 01:25:08,170
Residents can make the calls.

977
01:25:08,550 --> 01:25:09,770
We can document the vehicles.

978
01:25:10,390 --> 01:25:12,710
We provide licensed plates and addresses,

979
01:25:13,110 --> 01:25:16,830
but when the same RVs continue to occupy the same area,

980
01:25:17,250 --> 01:25:18,930
sometimes for weeks or months,

981
01:25:19,590 --> 01:25:23,430
residents understandably begin to feel like the ordinance is actually

982
01:25:23,430 --> 01:25:25,310
isn't actually being enforced.

983
01:25:25,310 --> 01:25:27,530
And this isn't just about parking.

984
01:25:28,270 --> 01:25:33,310
There are sanitation concerns associated with long-term RV habitation.

985
01:25:33,870 --> 01:25:39,990
When people are living in vehicles without access to regular sanitation facilities, there

986
01:25:39,990 --> 01:25:46,590
are inevitable concerns about trash, human waste, wastewater, and the cleanliness of the

987
01:25:46,590 --> 01:25:48,170
surrounding public space.

988
01:25:48,610 --> 01:25:51,130
This is a very practical safety issue.

989
01:25:51,130 --> 01:25:57,670
Last year, the bike lane markings were put in a long aspirin aid in effort and in part

990
01:25:57,670 --> 01:26:03,450
to create a clear separation between traffic, parking and cyclists, but the RVs continue

991
01:26:03,450 --> 01:26:08,710
to park over the line when these oversized vehicles extend to the bike lane or roadway

992
01:26:08,710 --> 01:26:14,810
to create an obstruction and undermine the safety purpose of the infrastructure we've already

993
01:26:14,810 --> 01:26:16,190
invested in.

994
01:26:16,190 --> 01:26:20,590
And I think we should be willing to look at what other cities are doing.

995
01:26:20,630 --> 01:26:25,410
San Francisco implemented a two-hour parking restriction for large vehicles,

996
01:26:25,490 --> 01:26:29,310
including RVs, and I think we can do that.

997
01:26:29,430 --> 01:26:31,510
I believe they, and I'm out of time.

998
01:26:31,830 --> 01:26:34,050
Well, I'll come back and talk about this.

999
01:26:35,230 --> 01:26:36,070
So, thank you so much.

1000
01:26:36,070 --> 01:26:36,790
Thank you, Cynthia.

1001
01:26:37,030 --> 01:26:38,110
You have my email.

1002
01:26:42,250 --> 01:26:44,730
Latte, and then Anita, and then Kimberly Finale.

1003
01:26:44,730 --> 01:26:49,910
Hello, my name is Ladi and I'm a Sophia Stabila.

1004
01:26:50,030 --> 01:26:58,710
I also like to add to Sophia's comment.

1005
01:26:59,830 --> 01:27:01,870
During my daily walk this morning,

1006
01:27:02,250 --> 01:27:06,570
I found soiled paper tissue on the beach.

1007
01:27:07,150 --> 01:27:09,270
Also soiled sweater.

1008
01:27:10,130 --> 01:27:18,610
Of course, regular coffee cups, soda, cans, beer cans, beer bottles, and it's just getting

1009
01:27:18,610 --> 01:27:19,590
out of control.

1010
01:27:20,270 --> 01:27:25,590
It's like I've been talking there every single day and now it's like before I could carry

1011
01:27:25,590 --> 01:27:30,730
the trash with my two hands, but now I feel like I have to carry a trash bag just to keep

1012
01:27:30,730 --> 01:27:31,750
up with the trash.

1013
01:27:32,290 --> 01:27:38,110
So, but, oh, we also have the whales this morning so, thank you.

1014
01:27:39,970 --> 01:27:40,850
Thank you.

1015
01:27:42,170 --> 01:27:44,630
So, Anita, Kimberly, and then Cindy Abbott.

1016
01:27:49,170 --> 01:27:52,750
I probably should stand up, but I'm not going to.

1017
01:27:52,750 --> 01:27:54,490
You're tall enough, I see you, yeah.

1018
01:27:55,530 --> 01:27:58,810
My name is Anita Reece, I'm the Executive Director of the Pacific Air Resource Center,

1019
01:27:58,910 --> 01:28:01,070
and I want to give you all some updates.

1020
01:28:01,070 --> 01:28:08,070
We continue to be open Monday Tuesday Thursday 9 to 5 Wednesday is 9 to 7 and Friday is 9 to 1.

1021
01:28:08,950 --> 01:28:10,930
And one Saturday a month, 9 to 1.

1022
01:28:11,050 --> 01:28:14,150
We are close for lunch Monday through Thursday 12.30 to 1.30.

1023
01:28:14,670 --> 01:28:20,350
Our next Saturday open hours is actually going to be in October because we have POMO PLUSA this month.

1024
01:28:20,830 --> 01:28:23,790
It means in September as well as Fogfest.

1025
01:28:25,390 --> 01:28:30,990
We are continuing to provide groceries weekly at our pantry and our next grocery distribution is

1026
01:28:30,990 --> 01:28:37,370
this Wednesday at the American Legion Hall, which is at 555 fuel, if you haven't already signed up

1027
01:28:37,370 --> 01:28:42,470
in the groceries, please arrive to the American Legion Hall around 4 o'clock and we'll be sure to

1028
01:28:42,470 --> 01:28:48,590
serve you and sign you up for next time. Our unhoused on the coast outreach team will respond for

1029
01:28:48,590 --> 01:28:53,730
a request for outreach to unhoused folks in Pacifica through Pascadero every Monday through Friday,

1030
01:28:53,970 --> 01:29:00,570
9am to 10pm Saturday, Sunday and holiday is 9 to 5. So if you see someone living outside in vehicles,

1031
01:29:00,990 --> 01:29:12,690
or another place not meant for habitation, please email us at ucoutreachatpackresourcecenter.org or call us at 6504526279.

1032
01:29:13,590 --> 01:29:19,990
As of today, there are nine encampments in Pacifica, including two that are for the safe parking program.

1033
01:29:20,570 --> 01:29:29,150
This includes 84 individuals who are in those nine encampments and 48 that are not in encampments, but in Pacifica.

1034
01:29:29,150 --> 01:29:35,630
That means that there are 132 folks who are unhoused in Pacifica as of today, including

1035
01:29:35,630 --> 01:29:38,470
21 that are in the Safe Temporary Safe Parking Program.

1036
01:29:39,150 --> 01:29:45,690
I will say that that has increased slightly since the last time I came to Council, and

1037
01:29:45,690 --> 01:29:50,930
we have seen a decline in the number of people in encampments most likely because of some

1038
01:29:50,930 --> 01:29:53,490
closures and cleanups that have happened across the city.

1039
01:29:54,930 --> 01:29:59,970
As part of our work with partnership for the Bayes Future, we are having

1040
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:09,260
The second of three workshops on Wednesday, the 26th at 6 o'clock at the Peter Point Firehouse, the topic is understanding Pacifica's housing element.

1041
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:18,920
The third workshop will be on the 9th of September, and it will be on learning effective ways to influence policies, so hopefully folks can attend that.

1042
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:33,920
I also wanted to let you know that this year we provided 170 Pacifica Youth so far from 100 families with gift cards for backpacks and school supplies there are back to school program and even though school has already started, please reach out if you need help.

1043
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:47,400
I'm running out of time so please call us at 6,000, 7, 3, 8, 7, 4, 7, 0, go to our website, packresourcecenter.org or email us at info at packresourcecenter.org if you need help.

1044
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:51,200
Thank you. Thank you any of that.

1045
01:30:51,700 --> 01:30:55,260
So Kimberly is Cindy and then my last card is Michael Wellen.

1046
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:04,360
Good evening council members and staff.

1047
01:31:04,820 --> 01:31:09,220
I just want to begin by acknowledging the city clerks Sarah Ed Emily.

1048
01:31:09,620 --> 01:31:13,740
Elections are before us and I know this adds a layer of work to the heavy load.

1049
01:31:13,940 --> 01:31:17,280
They're already carry with such grace and professionalism.

1050
01:31:17,700 --> 01:31:18,400
Thank you.

1051
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:23,260
My name is Kimberly Finale, I'm a resident of Pacifica, grateful to be here.

1052
01:31:23,900 --> 01:31:29,300
On Wednesday, August 5th, I made an intentional decision not to leave work early in

1053
01:31:29,300 --> 01:31:34,100
order to attend the special council meeting held here as a procedural matter to place

1054
01:31:34,100 --> 01:31:39,220
a new sales tax measure BB on the upcoming November 3rd ballot.

1055
01:31:39,780 --> 01:31:45,000
I rarely believe this, but I knew my two cents would make no difference as this body had

1056
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:46,240
already made up its mind.

1057
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:52,940
By all appearances, our citizens, local taxpayer dollars, have been mismanaged for years,

1058
01:31:53,500 --> 01:31:56,620
which would be why it seems we are headed towards bankruptcy.

1059
01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:02,860
Now a decision has been made to continue us on the same old irresponsible path as has

1060
01:32:02,860 --> 01:32:08,820
gotten us here, more status quo, the definition of insanity, repeating the same actions

1061
01:32:08,820 --> 01:32:12,060
over and over again, expecting a different result.

1062
01:32:12,060 --> 01:32:18,920
For some reason, the city of Pacifica and this council refuses to take a look at the top line items on our budget.

1063
01:32:19,540 --> 01:32:24,100
The result is to continue to nickel and dime residents on the lower end of the income spectrum,

1064
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:28,180
already struggling to put gas in the car and food in the fridge,

1065
01:32:28,740 --> 01:32:32,620
enabling the city to continue mismanaging our funds.

1066
01:32:33,140 --> 01:32:37,940
All by telling us, day in and day out, we need more affordable housing.

1067
01:32:38,940 --> 01:32:45,180
Remember, the last time an attack was added to the ballot for schools, folks voted to pass

1068
01:32:45,180 --> 01:32:50,120
that because they want quality education for their children only to have ocean shore school

1069
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:56,060
closed shortly after. That one over like a lead balloon and so will this new sales tax measure

1070
01:32:56,060 --> 01:33:02,020
disguised as a stream of income to secure public safety when in actuality it will be directed

1071
01:33:02,020 --> 01:33:07,360
to the general fund. Could this have anything to do with the mail that I received a few months

1072
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:13,200
back suggesting that results to the city's recent survey with leading questions, creating response

1073
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:20,520
bias and skewed data regarding public safety, then mailing this to residents, the stated

1074
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:29,640
responses to the polling which, coincidentally, resulted in a pre-determined outcome. I find

1075
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:35,580
this scheme to be manipulating and a total misrepresentation. The city in Council has failed

1076
01:33:35,580 --> 01:33:39,600
request or look at alternatives regarding police and fire.

1077
01:33:40,100 --> 01:33:42,880
Only to suggest it, I hire tax on the people.

1078
01:33:43,500 --> 01:33:47,480
I will vote no on the sales tax measure, and so will my fellow community members and

1079
01:33:47,480 --> 01:33:51,660
neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet as we sit here tonight.

1080
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:52,980
Thank you.

1081
01:33:53,740 --> 01:33:54,260
Okay, Kimberly.

1082
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:58,920
Cindy and then Michael's my last card.

1083
01:34:03,910 --> 01:34:09,430
Good evening, Cindy Abbott, I'm happy to share with you that on August

1084
01:34:09,430 --> 01:34:19,610
In 2011, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an e-bike ordinance for the unincorporated areas of San Mateo County.

1085
01:34:20,330 --> 01:34:35,850
The hope is that this will be rolled out to additional jurisdictions using their work as a model, of course, making adjustments as applicable to the other cities, but to create an equal playing field across the county.

1086
01:34:35,850 --> 01:34:41,490
Because Bikers really don't necessarily have to pay attention to city lines.

1087
01:34:42,770 --> 01:34:51,950
Additionally, AB 2595, Pappin, was approved on August 17th in the Senate by 36 to 1.

1088
01:34:52,590 --> 01:34:57,490
On August 19th, California Assembly approved it 75 to 0.

1089
01:34:58,670 --> 01:35:00,990
This is another great way.

1090
01:35:01,410 --> 01:35:04,410
It's on its way to the governor's desk.

1091
01:35:04,410 --> 01:35:20,670
It's a pilot program through the 2030 that establishes a program in San Mateo County, authorizing local jurisdictions to restrict the use of class 1 and 2 electric bikes to children, 2012 years and older.

1092
01:35:21,390 --> 01:35:31,010
The measure gives local communities tools to address young riders operating powerful e-bikes on neighborhood streets by past and school campuses.

1093
01:35:31,010 --> 01:35:41,070
It's focused on youth, but accountability is shared with parents, guardians, held, jointly responsible for problems.

1094
01:35:41,570 --> 01:35:47,910
And it resolves things with a small fine structure, but ultimately the goal is to educate the community.

1095
01:35:48,510 --> 01:35:52,790
Fines can be removed if an educational program takes place.

1096
01:35:53,410 --> 01:35:59,490
I really hope that in the months to come, we can have the e-bike conversation that's on the

1097
01:35:59,490 --> 01:36:05,510
work plan, and to know that these are some tools that we have available to us, well-vetted

1098
01:36:05,510 --> 01:36:08,550
programs that Pacifica can take part in.

1099
01:36:08,910 --> 01:36:09,530
Thank you.

1100
01:36:09,530 --> 01:36:10,110
Thank you, Cindy.

1101
01:36:13,350 --> 01:36:13,710
Okay.

1102
01:36:13,950 --> 01:36:14,310
Michael?

1103
01:36:15,010 --> 01:36:17,330
Mm-hm.

1104
01:36:17,450 --> 01:36:20,750
I quite well, but I'm indeed too good to see you again.

1105
01:36:22,370 --> 01:36:29,130
So regarding flock, I've heard a lot of people mention that today, and there's reasonable

1106
01:36:29,130 --> 01:36:36,010
concerns about public rights, Fourth Amendment, et cetera.

1107
01:36:36,610 --> 01:36:42,330
However, I'm hearing the concern about finances, and we know that our police department

1108
01:36:42,330 --> 01:36:43,390
is understaffed.

1109
01:36:43,390 --> 01:36:49,390
We know that we have a budget crisis, and I think it will be important for the police when

1110
01:36:49,390 --> 01:36:55,210
they give the presentation about automated license plate readers, both fixed and mobile, that

1111
01:36:55,210 --> 01:37:01,250
we also hear about the benefits, how many crimes have been solved by the use of ALPRs.

1112
01:37:01,510 --> 01:37:04,550
I don't know, I don't think anybody else in here either does either.

1113
01:37:05,590 --> 01:37:12,170
What would be the cost to increase our law enforcement as far as additional officers, more

1114
01:37:12,170 --> 01:37:15,230
cars, additional gas, additional maintenance?

1115
01:37:15,230 --> 01:37:19,710
What is the cost of that versus the cost of the ALPR system?

1116
01:37:20,430 --> 01:37:29,670
We need to come into this conversation fully understanding what the impact will be if we remove these systems and how we will address that gap.

1117
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:57,520
It's going to be a tough conversation and that conversation comes up. Obviously, there's a lot of people both in Pacifica and around the US that are concerned about this technology. However, we do need to be mindful of how understaffed our police department is and the use of that tool, perhaps bridging some of that gap. So let's make sure there's a full cost benefit analysis of that tool and how we will address anything that's lost if it's removed. Thank you.

1118
01:37:57,520 --> 01:37:58,460
Thank you, Michael.

1119
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:00,240
Do you have anyone online, Emily?

1120
01:38:01,220 --> 01:38:04,480
There are two raised hands that first is for Sarah Matlin.

1121
01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:06,720
Go ahead, Sarah.

1122
01:38:09,660 --> 01:38:10,080
Good evening.

1123
01:38:10,740 --> 01:38:14,240
I don't even know what I know, but I'm often interested to get because my best friend lives there.

1124
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:19,800
While she and I search for whales using Pacifica Whales' body, I see these searching

1125
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:22,580
for our neighbors using Pacifica's flock of animals.

1126
01:38:23,260 --> 01:38:26,960
Pacifica leaders are trying really hard to protect our community in a place of immense pressure.

1127
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:32,020
But over the last year, ICE took 140 of our San Mateo County neighbors from our community

1128
01:38:32,020 --> 01:38:36,320
and then they had them were driving or getting out of their cars when ICE took them.

1129
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:41,960
To protect our community members from being kidnapped and to decrease the chances of a number of costly lawsuit,

1130
01:38:42,300 --> 01:38:44,920
City Council should not remove the flunk contract.

1131
01:38:45,340 --> 01:38:50,920
But as you're going to insist on renewing the contract, I urge you to pass an ordinance with the best practices included

1132
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:55,740
to avoid some of the problems that have gotten other cities in trouble and even suit for violations.

1133
01:38:55,740 --> 01:39:00,240
I'm one of a few local volunteers that are dropping a model ordinance to the city

1134
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,600
put adopt and I look forward to being in contact with you about that in the future.

1135
01:39:04,580 --> 01:39:08,300
So as an example, Pacifica's surveillance camera policy promises to implement

1136
01:39:08,300 --> 01:39:11,680
guard-real processes to decrease in proper data sharing.

1137
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:16,340
But according to the Civil Branch, your report, Pacifica's search logs reflect that

1138
01:39:16,340 --> 01:39:25,720
data we shared with other agencies without using those processes, violating the city's own

1139
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:30,340
who has studied the grand jury report and address problems in the FLOC contract in your

1140
01:39:30,340 --> 01:39:36,640
surveillance camera policy, my best friend, a significant holder resident and volunteer,

1141
01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:43,020
is an employee department, is a naturalized citizen, and she's worried for her own safety

1142
01:39:43,020 --> 01:39:49,520
in Pacifica that because she speaks with an absent. So please don't assume Pacifica's FLOC

1143
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:54,640
contract should be renewed. So they always cameras may seem like a cost-saving measure,

1144
01:39:54,640 --> 01:40:04,280
But there's a huge hidden cost to claim pain, flaw, to feed information into a violent deportation machine that is tearing our community apart.

1145
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:09,480
Please allow the contract to expire and instead use those funds to better protect our community.

1146
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:10,940
Thank you.

1147
01:40:11,140 --> 01:40:11,460
Thank you.

1148
01:40:11,460 --> 01:40:12,060
Thank you Sarah.

1149
01:40:12,940 --> 01:40:14,800
The next raise hands for Lila Reniro.

1150
01:40:15,780 --> 01:40:16,060
Thank you.

1151
01:40:16,060 --> 01:40:16,580
Go ahead Lila.

1152
01:40:18,630 --> 01:40:18,990
Hello.

1153
01:40:20,490 --> 01:40:20,710
Hi.

1154
01:40:20,790 --> 01:40:21,350
Can you hear me?

1155
01:40:21,690 --> 01:40:21,770
Yep.

1156
01:40:21,770 --> 01:40:28,150
Okay, good evening, Mayor and Council members and everyone, given the city's current budget concerns,

1157
01:40:28,390 --> 01:40:34,990
I think we need to look seriously at enforcement, collecting fines, and making sure we aren't leaving money on the table.

1158
01:40:35,630 --> 01:40:41,730
When SDR operators are allowed to operate without a required permit, the city is losing not only the permit revenue,

1159
01:40:42,050 --> 01:40:46,590
but also so many other revenues and fines associated with non-compliance.

1160
01:40:47,210 --> 01:40:50,870
Without budget is under pressure, we simply cannot afford to overlook that.

1161
01:40:50,870 --> 01:40:57,130
It also doesn't make sense to spend limited staff and tax pay or resources investigating violations.

1162
01:40:57,910 --> 01:41:01,370
If chronic violators can continue operating without meaningful consequences.

1163
01:41:02,270 --> 01:41:03,330
We also need transparency.

1164
01:41:04,170 --> 01:41:09,710
The public should have a clear, easily accessible place to see where an SDR stands with respect to compliance.

1165
01:41:10,290 --> 01:41:17,730
Whether it's permitted, whether violations have been identified, whether enforcement is underway, and whether outstanding fines have been paid.

1166
01:41:18,310 --> 01:41:25,350
If we're serious about addressing our budget challenges, we need to make sure that we are collecting revenue that is owed to the city.

1167
01:41:25,730 --> 01:41:30,210
Enforcing our ordinances and not allowing noncompliance to be the cost of doing business.

1168
01:41:31,110 --> 01:41:32,330
Thank you.

1169
01:41:32,330 --> 01:41:33,170
Thank you, Lila.

1170
01:41:34,150 --> 01:41:34,970
There are no other reasons.

1171
01:41:36,310 --> 01:41:38,650
With that, I will close public comment.

1172
01:41:40,170 --> 01:41:46,430
City manager, can I just ask, I know when we're doing agenda planning, sometimes we have things that are

1173
01:41:46,430 --> 01:41:54,770
tentatively on the agenda and flock is tentatively on the agenda for October 12th, when

1174
01:41:54,770 --> 01:41:57,810
when will we know for sure when that is coming to us.

1175
01:42:00,630 --> 01:42:08,330
So there is a civil grand jury report on automated license readers in the county and we are

1176
01:42:08,330 --> 01:42:12,250
named recipient, statutory required to provide answers.

1177
01:42:13,170 --> 01:42:14,190
This is all public information.

1178
01:42:14,390 --> 01:42:15,850
I don't want to stray too far on things

1179
01:42:15,850 --> 01:42:16,630
that are not in the agenda.

1180
01:42:17,530 --> 01:42:19,010
And we have a statutory deadline

1181
01:42:19,010 --> 01:42:24,490
to provide comments to respond to that by the end of October.

1182
01:42:25,630 --> 01:42:28,890
So within that time frame, we'll make it.

1183
01:42:28,890 --> 01:42:31,050
OK, so sometime before the end of October.

1184
01:42:31,290 --> 01:42:31,530
Yes.

1185
01:42:31,790 --> 01:42:32,610
OK, great.

1186
01:42:32,610 --> 01:42:33,910
Thank you.

1187
01:42:34,930 --> 01:42:35,350
All right.

1188
01:42:37,110 --> 01:42:37,630
Thanks Mary.

1189
01:42:37,630 --> 01:42:44,510
just a little follow-up on that. What is the best way for people to get information about

1190
01:42:44,510 --> 01:42:54,630
the Flock Program in Pacifica? I think I'd reserve that answer until we come back with those responses

1191
01:42:55,390 --> 01:42:57,530
and additional information on the contract.

1192
01:43:01,180 --> 01:43:03,620
This item's not on the agenda. I do want to be

1193
01:43:03,620 --> 01:43:08,220
The cognizant and careful, may have someone who may want to help you with that answer.

1194
01:43:10,860 --> 01:43:14,420
I don't want to go too deep into this topic tonight.

1195
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:16,840
No, I think I know it's not appropriate.

1196
01:43:17,300 --> 01:43:18,020
Thank you.

1197
01:43:18,580 --> 01:43:23,360
But if people have questions, is it appropriate to email the police department with questions?

1198
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:25,640
They can email me, they can email the police department.

1199
01:43:25,640 --> 01:43:26,400
Okay.

1200
01:43:28,300 --> 01:43:32,900
Yes, I'm going to hear at Pacifica.gov and is it Pacifica police?

1201
01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:36,700
Pacifica.gov, I'm not sure what the general email is.

1202
01:43:42,290 --> 01:43:43,170
We'll hear that from our chief.

1203
01:43:43,270 --> 01:43:45,150
Thank you so much for being at the Pacifica.

1204
01:43:45,150 --> 01:43:48,430
Democrats talking about this very issue just a couple weeks ago.

1205
01:43:48,690 --> 01:43:49,530
You're very welcome.

1206
01:43:50,030 --> 01:43:50,510
Good evening.

1207
01:43:50,830 --> 01:43:53,250
Madam Mayor and council members, Maria Sarah Sue.

1208
01:43:53,370 --> 01:43:55,090
I proudly serve as your police chief.

1209
01:43:55,830 --> 01:43:58,730
So any questions related to the Float Camera System

1210
01:43:58,730 --> 01:44:07,490
can be directed to our email address at police, at PacificaPolice.org or our transparency portal,

1211
01:44:08,210 --> 01:44:09,470
which is on our department website.

1212
01:44:10,830 --> 01:44:11,410
Thank you.

1213
01:44:11,490 --> 01:44:13,010
Thank you so much.

1214
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:16,020
Okay.

1215
01:44:19,740 --> 01:44:19,980
Sorry.

1216
01:44:23,200 --> 01:44:24,740
That brings us to item 12.

1217
01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:26,640
I'm wondering if we need a little 10 minute break.

1218
01:44:27,420 --> 01:44:27,540
Okay.

1219
01:44:28,340 --> 01:44:30,540
So we'll take a break until 9 o'clock.

1220
01:44:30,540 --> 01:44:32,940
Recording stopped.

1221
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:04,900
We need everyone else start to quiet down, please, including Mara, Spinoza, in the back.

1222
01:45:13,290 --> 01:45:22,550
Okay, so our next item is item 10, which is a continuation of a public hearing text amendment

1223
01:45:22,550 --> 01:45:31,710
about the density bonus program, and I'm sorry, I'm 12, and the zoning

1224
01:45:31,710 --> 01:45:33,130
regent regulations.

1225
01:45:35,470 --> 01:45:36,890
So, city manager, Sharpen, Tina?

1226
01:45:37,490 --> 01:45:37,750
Yes.

1227
01:45:39,410 --> 01:45:46,210
So, public hearing on the proposed amendment to the density bonus and BMR inclusionary housing

1228
01:45:46,210 --> 01:45:51,970
program was scheduled for this meeting and staff required more time.

1229
01:45:51,970 --> 01:45:56,110
to pull together the documents and the complete staff report.

1230
01:45:56,410 --> 01:46:08,870
So we are requesting that the Council take action to continue the item to the next regularly scheduled meeting on September 14th.

1231
01:46:09,230 --> 01:46:18,270
And if there are people who would like to provide public comment on this item, because they are here, we would recommend that we take that public comment.

1232
01:46:18,270 --> 01:46:22,490
Okay, are there any council questions first before public comment?

1233
01:46:23,590 --> 01:46:23,630
No.

1234
01:46:24,430 --> 01:46:26,890
Okay, I'm opening public comment on item 12.

1235
01:46:26,930 --> 01:46:28,310
I don't have any cards.

1236
01:46:29,070 --> 01:46:31,510
Can come up to the microphone if you want to see.

1237
01:46:31,610 --> 01:46:32,970
Is there anyone online, Emily?

1238
01:46:33,950 --> 01:46:35,090
There are no raise hands.

1239
01:46:35,530 --> 01:46:36,950
Okay, closing public comment.

1240
01:46:38,630 --> 01:46:42,590
I move that we postpone the item two, September 14th.

1241
01:46:42,590 --> 01:46:42,990
I'll second.

1242
01:46:43,890 --> 01:46:44,990
Okay, please vote.

1243
01:46:49,470 --> 01:46:55,550
The motion to get near the public hearing to September 14th meet by councilmember Beckmire seconded by

1244
01:46:56,050 --> 01:46:58,550
Councilmember beer the motion passes unanimously

1245
01:46:59,110 --> 01:47:06,470
Okay, that brings us to item 13 the designation of a voting delegate for the League of California cities annual conference

1246
01:47:08,070 --> 01:47:13,850
That's to you again for the manager Sharpen 10 so California cities is the statewide organization

1247
01:47:13,850 --> 01:47:18,730
that is devoted to representing the interest of cities throughout the state of California.

1248
01:47:18,970 --> 01:47:26,730
Their annual conference is mid-September in Anaheim starting on September 22, 23rd.

1249
01:47:27,790 --> 01:47:33,090
And the action before you, for this item, is to add that meeting.

1250
01:47:33,590 --> 01:47:39,470
They have an action item among their general members, with one delegate from each city.

1251
01:47:39,470 --> 01:47:51,510
I believe voting on that action item and there was a request before you tonight is to appoint a member of the Pacific City Council to be the delegate and an alternate.

1252
01:47:52,210 --> 01:47:52,730
Okay.

1253
01:47:54,950 --> 01:47:56,270
Any council questions?

1254
01:47:57,090 --> 01:47:59,030
How many members are attending?

1255
01:48:00,930 --> 01:48:07,970
The following are registered to attend Vice Mayor Wright, Council Member Beckmeyer and Council

1256
01:48:07,970 --> 01:48:09,730
Member Espinoza.

1257
01:48:10,290 --> 01:48:12,390
You're waving your hand like you're not sure.

1258
01:48:15,810 --> 01:48:16,110
You are.

1259
01:48:17,050 --> 01:48:17,070
Okay.

1260
01:48:17,090 --> 01:48:20,090
So it'll be between the three of you.

1261
01:48:22,290 --> 01:48:24,890
Well, why don't we open up public comment first?

1262
01:48:25,610 --> 01:48:26,810
Again, don't have any cards.

1263
01:48:27,070 --> 01:48:28,030
Don't see anybody getting up.

1264
01:48:28,570 --> 01:48:29,230
Is there anyone online?

1265
01:48:29,230 --> 01:48:30,410
There are no resins.

1266
01:48:30,610 --> 01:48:31,010
All right.

1267
01:48:31,010 --> 01:48:33,210
I'm going to close public comment,

1268
01:48:35,330 --> 01:48:38,650
would any of the three of you like to do it?

1269
01:48:41,700 --> 01:48:42,520
I've done it before.

1270
01:48:45,890 --> 01:48:47,290
You did it last year, right?

1271
01:48:47,510 --> 01:48:48,670
Thank you.

1272
01:48:50,730 --> 01:48:52,330
Sorry, I don't remember.

1273
01:48:52,630 --> 01:48:53,830
I think I might have been the devotee.

1274
01:48:54,070 --> 01:48:54,470
Thank you for that.

1275
01:48:54,490 --> 01:48:55,750
I think I did it for your before.

1276
01:48:59,070 --> 01:48:59,690
Thank you for the bottom.

1277
01:49:01,150 --> 01:49:02,330
I know I'm a nightmare.

1278
01:49:03,490 --> 01:49:04,050
Second.

1279
01:49:05,210 --> 01:49:06,330
Do we need to vote?

1280
01:49:06,770 --> 01:49:07,170
Yes.

1281
01:49:07,170 --> 01:49:07,790
Tell some members.

1282
01:49:08,370 --> 01:49:12,670
Also, it requests an appointing an alternate or two alternate.

1283
01:49:13,430 --> 01:49:16,330
So if you'd like to amend the motion.

1284
01:49:16,330 --> 01:49:18,170
I propose, Greg, as the alternate.

1285
01:49:20,270 --> 01:49:20,810
Yes.

1286
01:49:20,990 --> 01:49:21,470
I agree.

1287
01:49:22,510 --> 01:49:23,390
Do we need to vote?

1288
01:49:27,190 --> 01:49:27,550
Okay.

1289
01:49:27,550 --> 01:49:32,330
So the motion is myra as the representative and Greg as the alternate.

1290
01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:36,680
I'm going to repeat the motion.

1291
01:49:36,680 --> 01:49:38,340
just like J.P.

1292
01:49:40,380 --> 01:49:45,540
And with the motion made by council member, back in my ear to a point, council member Espinosa

1293
01:49:45,540 --> 01:49:51,360
as the delegate and vice mayor bright as the alternate.

1294
01:49:52,040 --> 01:49:55,960
The motion was seconded by council member beer and passes unanimously.

1295
01:49:57,180 --> 01:49:57,360
Perfect.

1296
01:50:00,620 --> 01:50:05,830
Okay, and then this is missing something.

1297
01:50:05,830 --> 01:50:15,680
So we have a discussion also about the resolution that's going to CalCities, sorry, I don't

1298
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:17,040
see that in I am 14,

1299
01:50:19,260 --> 01:50:24,520
oh, that is I'm 14, okay, moving on to I'm 14, thank you.

1300
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:35,060
So this is direction to the voting delegate regarding the conference resolution packet and

1301
01:50:35,060 --> 01:50:44,480
So I understand this is about a potential committee working group to look at some of the housing

1302
01:50:44,480 --> 01:50:52,380
laws and perhaps finding a way to push back a little bit on the state and all that they're

1303
01:50:52,380 --> 01:50:55,680
taking away an authority from us.

1304
01:50:55,840 --> 01:50:59,540
But I should probably let City Manager say all this instead of me that might be saying it

1305
01:50:59,540 --> 01:50:59,760
around.

1306
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:04,380
That was a better summary than the dry summary I'll give you.

1307
01:51:05,180 --> 01:51:09,580
So the next action is related to the Council providing direction to their delegate for

1308
01:51:09,580 --> 01:51:11,360
that vote in the General Assembly.

1309
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:18,000
CalCities has accepts resolutions from its memor agencies for the membership to vote on.

1310
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:21,060
This one was prepared by the city of Maria.

1311
01:51:22,620 --> 01:51:28,920
And specifically it is to direct the CalCities, the League of California cities, to support

1312
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:34,640
the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or other legislative policy

1313
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:39,320
or ballot-based initiatives that restore and strengthen local authority over housing

1314
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:44,260
and land use matters within municipal boundaries, including general plans, housing

1315
01:51:44,260 --> 01:51:50,360
elements, zoning, design, and development standards, project-siding, and the approval

1316
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:56,860
or denial of housing development applications, and as was noted in the resolution from

1317
01:51:56,860 --> 01:52:03,860
Marietta, the state, and the last 10 years has passed over 500 bills controlling or limiting

1318
01:52:03,860 --> 01:52:06,100
what cities can and can't do.

1319
01:52:07,220 --> 01:52:14,520
And my recommendation is to support this effort and be part of it as it proceeds through

1320
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:15,700
the Cal City's process.

1321
01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:23,920
It does not commit the city to ultimately supporting any particular outcome, but I think Pacific

1322
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:29,200
as a unique voice in these questions given its role as a coastal community.

1323
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:33,040
And also one who is a housing provider.

1324
01:52:36,700 --> 01:52:45,460
And this committee, if I read correctly, would be if they're looking at a ballot measure that would be something in four years.

1325
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:50,620
So it's potentially a longer study.

1326
01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:58,040
I don't know what the timing would be or it could be legislation or it could be both.

1327
01:52:58,700 --> 01:53:03,880
legislation is please do this or we're going to return to the ballot. I just don't know.

1328
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:10,400
But it is to try to have the cities have a unified voice on recognizing that there is a need

1329
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:15,540
for housing but what is the appropriate way for the state and the appropriate balance of

1330
01:53:15,540 --> 01:53:20,200
power between the state and the cities to best move that housing agenda forward.

1331
01:53:26,320 --> 01:53:29,460
Yeah, take public comment. Again, I have no cards.

1332
01:53:32,380 --> 01:53:33,540
There are no reshands.

1333
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:34,260
No reshands.

1334
01:53:34,660 --> 01:53:36,160
The closing public comment.

1335
01:53:38,900 --> 01:53:40,740
So, I have a, I just have a...

1336
01:53:40,740 --> 01:53:42,820
In the future, is, may I?

1337
01:53:42,820 --> 01:53:43,300
Yeah, yeah.

1338
01:53:43,360 --> 01:53:44,440
It's a bit of process.

1339
01:53:44,860 --> 01:53:51,060
Assuming it is legislation or a ballot measure, it would come back to the council for support.

1340
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:55,160
So, this does not denote support, sort of, a blanket support for anything.

1341
01:53:57,450 --> 01:53:58,090
Mayor Balls.

1342
01:53:58,470 --> 01:54:00,410
We called for public comment, rather quickly.

1343
01:54:00,830 --> 01:54:02,210
And I did see a hand.

1344
01:54:02,210 --> 01:54:05,350
No, I'm happy to re-open public home insurance.

1345
01:54:07,690 --> 01:54:09,170
The raise hand is where Lila Reniro.

1346
01:54:09,610 --> 01:54:10,470
Okay, go ahead, Lila.

1347
01:54:10,830 --> 01:54:12,330
Sorry to cut you off too quick.

1348
01:54:13,050 --> 01:54:13,430
No worries.

1349
01:54:13,610 --> 01:54:16,850
I'm just going to say I'm all for the DAPA action.

1350
01:54:17,410 --> 01:54:19,970
I don't know all the details, but what I do know about it,

1351
01:54:20,930 --> 01:54:23,570
it sounds like a great way to move forward and be united,

1352
01:54:25,650 --> 01:54:28,430
especially for the multiple issues that we have.

1353
01:54:28,910 --> 01:54:32,250
The STR issue and also potentially to the reading numbers.

1354
01:54:32,250 --> 01:54:35,470
That's it. Thank you. Okay, thank you so much, Simon.

1355
01:54:36,250 --> 01:54:37,510
You're in northern Rizans.

1356
01:54:40,710 --> 01:54:42,230
I haven't studied the exact resolution.

1357
01:54:43,550 --> 01:54:45,950
And I'm not sure what typically happens in these meetings.

1358
01:54:46,550 --> 01:54:50,010
Like, would the delegate be voting on the exact wording in the resolution?

1359
01:54:50,470 --> 01:54:53,210
Well, I can give you a little overview.

1360
01:54:53,490 --> 01:54:55,250
If you look at packet pay.

1361
01:54:56,890 --> 01:54:58,570
Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh.

1362
01:55:01,790 --> 01:55:05,490
Oh, shit. Where is it? I was just looking at it.

1363
01:55:09,470 --> 01:55:13,710
Oh, there's some policy committees that it goes through.

1364
01:55:14,470 --> 01:55:21,370
And one of those is going to be before the conference on September 17.

1365
01:55:23,190 --> 01:55:26,790
Which looks like it's a Zoom opportunity.

1366
01:55:26,790 --> 01:55:28,090
I don't have to go down there.

1367
01:55:28,090 --> 01:55:30,270
housing community. Yeah, that's on by.

1368
01:55:30,570 --> 01:55:33,110
It's three. It's the 17th.

1369
01:55:33,510 --> 01:55:35,750
And then there's 61.

1370
01:55:37,890 --> 01:55:44,110
There's a couple of meetings during the conference itself.

1371
01:55:44,570 --> 01:55:46,210
So page 361.

1372
01:55:47,590 --> 01:55:54,530
So the general consideration of the general assembly at 830 in the morning on Friday,

1373
01:55:54,530 --> 01:56:02,390
the 25th and oh no, there's the Resolutions Committee on Thursday, the 24th at 1 p.m.

1374
01:56:03,150 --> 01:56:03,950
at the conference.

1375
01:56:04,350 --> 01:56:13,350
So if you want to learn more about the actual debate or discussion, I've found going to

1376
01:56:13,350 --> 01:56:22,210
that session on Thursday, the 24th is supplements reading the material that we have in

1377
01:56:22,210 --> 01:56:22,770
packet.

1378
01:56:25,290 --> 01:56:30,750
And then the actual voting, the time that the delegate does the actual voting is

1379
01:56:30,750 --> 01:56:37,010
on Friday the 25th. But sometimes at that committee meeting, like the resolutions committee

1380
01:56:37,010 --> 01:56:44,490
could amend it so much or do something that negates even having the vote on Friday morning.

1381
01:56:44,530 --> 01:56:52,010
I've seen that happen. So be prepared. The vote is happening, but you'll be notified if it's

1382
01:56:53,850 --> 01:57:08,690
Now, so that's the process, as I understand it, then the issue is we're supposed to on this item give you direction of our feedback kind of of what we think about this resolution.

1383
01:57:09,110 --> 01:57:14,090
And the resolution itself, it starts on page 366, it's just a page and a half long.

1384
01:57:14,090 --> 01:57:28,330
And I don't know if a state, I mean, I think it'll come out of committee as to whether the correct decision is to do a state constitutional amendment.

1385
01:57:28,570 --> 01:57:34,110
It seems like that's one of the possibilities that they're all that's exactly what they're calling for.

1386
01:57:34,410 --> 01:57:38,790
They want a working group to consider a state constitutional amendment,

1387
01:57:38,790 --> 01:57:45,870
or other form of initiative to ensure final local authority over housing and land use decisions.

1388
01:57:46,990 --> 01:57:53,970
So I support that and I think, you know, like all things, the details are what matter.

1389
01:57:54,850 --> 01:58:01,930
I did take a quick glance at the cities that had signed on and had letters of support.

1390
01:58:01,930 --> 01:58:09,330
and two of them, Norco and torrents are charter cities.

1391
01:58:10,250 --> 01:58:16,150
So that's one thing, charter cities are different than general law cities, and we're general law city.

1392
01:58:17,450 --> 01:58:27,910
So basically, as it states in the packet in the analysis, we as a general law city must conform to state laws.

1393
01:58:27,910 --> 01:58:36,070
Charter cities have more leeway in ability to modify them, but we have to do what the state

1394
01:58:36,070 --> 01:58:40,850
law says. And so that's what I think the frustration level with these cities that have put

1395
01:58:40,850 --> 01:58:49,490
this forward is they want to bring back some of that control through the possibility of doing

1396
01:58:49,490 --> 01:58:55,150
this working group at least to start and then decide if there should be a measure, a state wide

1397
01:58:55,150 --> 01:58:57,930
measure or constitutional amendment.

1398
01:59:00,970 --> 01:59:05,210
So, I don't, I think at this point, find out, right?

1399
01:59:05,350 --> 01:59:08,710
I mean, we've certainly had a lot of impacts.

1400
01:59:09,550 --> 01:59:13,490
I think for us, the biggest one I would carry forward is,

1401
01:59:13,970 --> 01:59:16,590
we are subject to the Coastal Commission,

1402
01:59:17,430 --> 01:59:20,690
and we are subject like everyone to housing and community development.

1403
01:59:21,230 --> 01:59:23,730
And there's a lot of tension between those two,

1404
01:59:23,730 --> 01:59:33,490
And it's often not clear which one we answer to, well, they both say me and sometimes there are conflicts there.

1405
01:59:33,890 --> 01:59:37,610
That's just one thing to bring forward from our point of view.

1406
01:59:37,750 --> 01:59:46,910
And they don't mention that here, so that's something that I think is really important to bring up to make sure that that's something that they include in their study.

1407
01:59:47,470 --> 01:59:53,090
Yeah, because I don't, I mean honestly, I'm really bad with geography, but it doesn't look to me like any of these are

1408
01:59:54,590 --> 01:59:59,970
Coastal cities. The ones that are that submitted letters. That doesn't mean there might not be code

1409
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:03,900
Social Cities attending that session on the 24th.

1410
02:00:05,560 --> 02:00:08,080
They're not, they're mostly in the NMPAR.

1411
02:00:08,220 --> 02:00:13,160
Yeah, yeah, torrents is close, but maybe not right on the coast.

1412
02:00:13,900 --> 02:00:15,600
They're one of the charter cities.

1413
02:00:16,720 --> 02:00:21,700
So one of the paragraphs in the resolution that I thought really explained this very well

1414
02:00:21,700 --> 02:00:28,680
says, whereas increasingly prescriptive statewide housing mandates and development approval requirements

1415
02:00:28,680 --> 02:00:34,600
can override locally adopted plans, zoning standards, and public review procedures without

1416
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:40,640
adequately accounting for differences that exist in each unit jurisdiction, and infrastructure

1417
02:00:40,640 --> 02:00:46,240
capacity, water availability, wildlife, wildfire, and evacuation risks, environmental

1418
02:00:46,240 --> 02:00:50,820
constraints, fiscal impacts, public surface needs, and community priorities.

1419
02:00:51,780 --> 02:00:55,680
So, this is where, like all the state laws are taking away our ability to even review

1420
02:00:55,680 --> 02:01:02,040
these projects and consider these things, and it is becoming more and more problematic.

1421
02:01:05,620 --> 02:01:17,260
So, that'd be great, and then the first meeting is of the housing subcommittee, sorry,

1422
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:23,320
what were they called again, the policy committee, yeah, so that's the housing community and

1423
02:01:23,320 --> 02:01:28,600
economic development committee, and I don't know if you know Rebecca Flynn, she's on the council

1424
02:01:29,580 --> 02:01:35,560
in Pertola Valley, but she sits on that committee, so she'd be a good person to talk to,

1425
02:01:36,300 --> 02:01:39,880
I can introduce you my email or something, I had a time when I feel like,

1426
02:01:42,970 --> 02:01:44,370
yeah, not just

1427
02:01:44,370 --> 02:01:48,310
I will discuss it, but I'm prepared to make a motion.

1428
02:01:48,570 --> 02:01:48,630
Okay.

1429
02:01:49,010 --> 02:01:50,650
I guess I'll be sure to be a motion.

1430
02:01:50,690 --> 02:01:52,430
Any other concerns?

1431
02:01:52,610 --> 02:01:53,730
Questions and put?

1432
02:01:55,090 --> 02:01:55,450
All right.

1433
02:01:55,710 --> 02:01:56,710
Then go for it.

1434
02:01:57,070 --> 02:02:04,590
I'm prepared to move that we follow Sean's recommendation to move this forward.

1435
02:02:07,210 --> 02:02:07,450
Second.

1436
02:02:11,020 --> 02:02:11,760
So we vote?

1437
02:02:11,760 --> 02:02:13,460
Is that a nozzaboting item?

1438
02:02:13,620 --> 02:02:13,860
Yes.

1439
02:02:14,320 --> 02:02:14,480
Yes.

1440
02:02:15,420 --> 02:02:16,480
Move forward.

1441
02:02:17,160 --> 02:02:17,460
Yes.

1442
02:02:21,180 --> 02:02:29,140
And the motion to support a position of approval, providing that to the delegate to the

1443
02:02:29,140 --> 02:02:35,800
CalCities, made by Vice Mayor Wright, seconded by Council Member Beer, the motion passes

1444
02:02:35,800 --> 02:02:36,300
unanimously.

1445
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:44,620
So we have two more things on our agenda, Council Communications, which we haven't done

1446
02:02:44,620 --> 02:02:46,200
in a while, and then staff communication.

1447
02:02:47,460 --> 02:02:51,820
So any council members like to divide an update or two?

1448
02:02:51,860 --> 02:02:52,140
I

1449
02:02:59,400 --> 02:03:01,140
can start if nobody gets ready.

1450
02:03:01,540 --> 02:03:02,320
Please do you want a little minute?

1451
02:03:04,040 --> 02:03:07,880
So formally, I still feel like I have to say this.

1452
02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:10,200
I'm necessarily clean energy now, Westlight Energy.

1453
02:03:11,520 --> 02:03:12,660
We met in July.

1454
02:03:14,180 --> 02:03:18,920
And one exciting thing, we've just approved the first microgrid

1455
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:21,720
project for the county, which will be in Pasquadero.

1456
02:03:23,420 --> 02:03:26,340
So that's a community that gets really isolated.

1457
02:03:27,680 --> 02:03:32,460
Their power goes out a lot and with their power goes their water supply, which is also

1458
02:03:33,300 --> 02:03:34,260
well-based.

1459
02:03:34,960 --> 02:03:38,480
And so they've just been awarded a PGD grant to do that work.

1460
02:03:39,840 --> 02:03:43,380
Plus 10 million from West Light Energy and 3 million from the county.

1461
02:03:43,660 --> 02:03:44,760
So that's quite exciting.

1462
02:03:46,560 --> 02:03:52,860
And then, we've been talking about the GOV PV programs and that's how we've gotten the

1463
02:03:54,800 --> 02:04:01,420
solar carport at the Civic Center and the solar on our community center and batteries

1464
02:04:01,420 --> 02:04:11,200
are still optional for both of those projects, but so they want to continue investing in helping

1465
02:04:11,200 --> 02:04:13,860
and greenhouse gas emissions,

1466
02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:32,760
but are deciding not to find all of this themselves because it takes away from their investments and other projects so they were looking at eye bank financing and unfortunately the rates are too high to make sense for cities to take that up.

1467
02:04:32,760 --> 02:04:40,420
So we're regrouping about that, but that program is still a commitment that West Light Energy

1468
02:04:40,420 --> 02:04:41,540
wants to work on.

1469
02:04:47,300 --> 02:04:56,060
So just a few things that I want to highlight, the county VLF meeting on the 13th was really

1470
02:04:56,060 --> 02:05:03,360
powerful and Jackie Spear ended up taking my recording and my testimony up there for the

1471
02:05:03,360 --> 02:05:12,880
at the state level, but unfortunately, they didn't really get any sympathy. The hope was that

1472
02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:18,460
the state might put something on a trailer bill that would fix this problem more long

1473
02:05:18,460 --> 02:05:25,700
turn. So I think the county is still working on an action plan, but it's really going to need

1474
02:05:25,700 --> 02:05:31,580
to focus now on Bistera, and then continued pressure on other assembly members and senators.

1475
02:05:32,480 --> 02:05:36,100
There's a lot of them in the rest of the state have this impression that we're a wealthy

1476
02:05:36,100 --> 02:05:39,680
county and we don't really need this money and that's just not true.

1477
02:05:40,240 --> 02:05:45,380
This is part of our fair share that all the other cities and counties get.

1478
02:05:46,260 --> 02:05:51,880
We happen to be a donor county, giving back more to the state and taxes than they return

1479
02:05:51,880 --> 02:05:57,000
to us just like the state is to the federal government, but that doesn't mean we don't

1480
02:05:57,000 --> 02:06:04,780
needs to take care of our staffing and community services and so forth. So this

1481
02:06:04,780 --> 02:06:07,660
four and a half million that's at rest for Pacific and next year would just

1482
02:06:07,660 --> 02:06:11,820
be devastating on top of our budget issues.

1483
02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:19,580
I'm sure most of us were at the Charter Medal hearing and person or remotely

1484
02:06:19,580 --> 02:06:24,440
thank you all for being there. I just want to make sure people know there's a

1485
02:06:24,440 --> 02:06:32,300
council and planning commission meeting tomorrow night starting at six right here to talk about next steps.

1486
02:06:33,420 --> 02:06:38,700
And then why are I went to an urban land institute training last Friday?

1487
02:06:39,320 --> 02:06:45,880
Was a joint program with partnership for the Bayes teacher that the city has an intern working with too.

1488
02:06:46,360 --> 02:06:49,920
So this was officially like urban planning for elected officials.

1489
02:06:49,920 --> 02:06:56,620
so we had like a fake city with multiple blocks that they had a fire and we had to figure

1490
02:06:56,620 --> 02:07:04,240
out the combination of housing and commercial parks and other services and not just like

1491
02:07:04,800 --> 02:07:11,620
design the layout but also like run the financials and my team had a very beautiful one but

1492
02:07:11,620 --> 02:07:14,480
we lost because we would make as much money as we had it.

1493
02:07:14,480 --> 02:07:19,000
We've had a lot of open space over a couple of parts, don't you?

1494
02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:25,840
And not only that, the city had to pay 50% of that open space, plus they didn't have enough houses.

1495
02:07:27,640 --> 02:07:29,320
So, Rado return was very good.

1496
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:59,980
Mayors seem to better. All right, mayors seem. What did your project do? Same thing all the time. Well, one of the things that we have some open space to, but it's not like we're seeing, but the people who did win, they were not like, I didn't like the project. They didn't have any, any, only one park. And the other thing is like the, the council were investors. How could you be sent out to them? They would, they liked that part.

1497
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:05,320
because it made a lot of houses, but anyhow, it was a lot of fun to do that.

1498
02:08:05,740 --> 02:08:06,780
It's a good day, isn't it?

1499
02:08:08,420 --> 02:08:12,420
And the other thing I learned, I think community development director,

1500
02:08:13,620 --> 02:08:15,040
up to grave news about this too,

1501
02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:18,000
but there have been land institute has this,

1502
02:08:18,700 --> 02:08:21,740
like call it a top program technical assistance panel,

1503
02:08:22,840 --> 02:08:26,300
where the cities can invite them to look at an issue,

1504
02:08:26,300 --> 02:08:29,920
could be related ordinances, it could be related to urban planning.

1505
02:08:30,680 --> 02:08:33,680
And I was thinking that would be a super cool thing to do for

1506
02:08:34,740 --> 02:08:38,100
manner, you know, between all the housing and redevelopment of manner,

1507
02:08:38,280 --> 02:08:41,920
plaza, the freeway going in and then the issues with coastal erosion.

1508
02:08:43,360 --> 02:08:44,420
You know, it's quite complex.

1509
02:08:45,180 --> 02:08:48,160
So anyway, we'll have to talk about a little bit more next year for

1510
02:08:48,160 --> 02:08:52,140
if we have capacity to bring that on.

1511
02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:55,820
Through the mayor, we are in discussion with them about a top.

1512
02:08:55,820 --> 02:09:03,660
Awesome. Nice. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Okay. Anybody else too?

1513
02:09:04,460 --> 02:09:12,820
I have a couple notes from North County Water District meeting on the 19th.

1514
02:09:13,760 --> 02:09:18,020
And I keep listening carefully whenever they talk about recycled water

1515
02:09:18,020 --> 02:09:25,120
because I know that there's a lot of folks that are anxious to be able to go to the new North County Water District

1516
02:09:25,120 --> 02:09:33,140
facility and collect their recycled water. There are people, very near to us sitting on this day as

1517
02:09:33,140 --> 02:09:40,560
who are also part of those desiring that. There's some bio-assay testing that has to happen.

1518
02:09:41,860 --> 02:09:48,900
In our wastewater area, and also at North County Water District, and that work is supposedly happening

1519
02:09:48,900 --> 02:09:55,700
next week. So, I'm fingers crossed that they're going to pass with flying colors and very soon

1520
02:09:55,700 --> 02:10:01,720
we'll be getting notice of when we'll be able to get water. The other thing that I mentioned

1521
02:10:01,720 --> 02:10:10,410
to the city manager, that I wasn't aware of is implementation of Assembly Bill 1572 which is the

1522
02:10:10,410 --> 02:10:21,970
of potable water on non-functional turf, and there are three deadlines. Jan 1 of 27, 28, and

1523
02:10:21,970 --> 02:10:28,910
29, depending on who you are, as what entity you are and cities and school districts are in

1524
02:10:28,910 --> 02:10:36,650
the first batch. And so there's definitions of what is functional turf, obviously playing fields,

1525
02:10:36,650 --> 02:10:41,810
things like that, but I was interested to hear in the presentation that even if it doesn't

1526
02:10:41,810 --> 02:10:48,250
seem like functional turf, but there are trees present, then it's considered functional turf,

1527
02:10:48,830 --> 02:10:56,090
helping to hold water, I guess, for the trees or whatever. But so I know city staff will be on

1528
02:10:56,090 --> 02:11:03,590
this in terms of assessing what is our, you know, potentially non-functional turf. I think the

1529
02:11:03,590 --> 02:11:10,270
issue is we may have what we consider to be turf. It's all about are you irrigating it or not.

1530
02:11:11,890 --> 02:11:19,770
So, we were thinking about the area next to Sanchez library. I don't think that's irrigated.

1531
02:11:19,950 --> 02:11:26,190
I mean, grass grows there sometimes, but it's also really kind of, you know, where the frisbee golf thing is.

1532
02:11:26,190 --> 02:11:29,650
So, anyway, that was interesting and useful,

1533
02:11:31,850 --> 02:11:36,230
and the next tank that they're going to work on is the fastler tank.

1534
02:11:38,250 --> 02:11:43,950
They've completely signed off, I'm pretty sure on the Sheila tank.

1535
02:11:45,330 --> 02:11:56,880
Yeah, so, and then we heard that there may be an increase in the height of the existing cell tower that they have there.

1536
02:11:56,880 --> 02:12:01,740
In fact, I think there is going to be increased, which, you know, good news bad news people

1537
02:12:01,740 --> 02:12:07,420
don't like seeing those, but on the other hand, it might help really not good coverage

1538
02:12:07,420 --> 02:12:09,120
in that area of challenge.

1539
02:12:11,200 --> 02:12:15,140
So that's all I have there, and the other thing I wanted to report that I don't have the

1540
02:12:15,140 --> 02:12:20,900
specifics on, I can share ones I get that the slides and look for the real information.

1541
02:12:20,900 --> 02:12:28,820
And I understand that the funding source in the, in the, in the, I don't know, probably

1542
02:12:28,820 --> 02:12:36,480
hundreds, Sean Eucatales, hundreds of thousands at least, maybe more from PG&E that supported

1543
02:12:36,480 --> 02:12:45,280
all kinds of things like rye caps and, you know, which we use to help our client action plan,

1544
02:12:45,720 --> 02:12:50,360
all of that, it comes, the source of his funds, one big source is PG&E.

1545
02:12:50,360 --> 02:12:57,060
under some kind of grant program to the county, that is not going to be renewed. That funding

1546
02:12:57,060 --> 02:13:05,280
source is going in a year. I think it's not like immediately, but there was at the resource management

1547
02:13:05,280 --> 02:13:12,560
and climate protection committee meeting a whole host of things that we just, I just sort of take

1548
02:13:12,560 --> 02:13:19,240
granted as existing and now they're in jeopardy because, and certainly with the LF, it's

1549
02:13:19,240 --> 02:13:23,400
not like, oh, the county will just pick it up. Do you have any other information on that?

1550
02:13:23,880 --> 02:13:32,700
The county that flows through CCAG, the PG&E provides 800,000 to a million a year and it does

1551
02:13:32,700 --> 02:13:38,720
expire. They've indicated that they were ending the program, I think, in December of 27, I think,

1552
02:13:39,420 --> 02:13:47,740
And it does fund a lot of the climate action protection activities, a lot of the technical support for all of our climate action plans.

1553
02:13:49,260 --> 02:13:51,660
It is a huge risk.

1554
02:13:53,020 --> 02:13:54,820
So that was in good news.

1555
02:13:57,040 --> 02:13:58,180
That's what I have.

1556
02:14:01,590 --> 02:14:02,070
I'll go ahead.

1557
02:14:03,490 --> 02:14:03,750
Yeah.

1558
02:14:03,750 --> 02:14:04,810
So the Coastal Commission.

1559
02:14:05,510 --> 02:14:06,450
Oh, yeah.

1560
02:14:06,970 --> 02:14:08,250
Meeting was interesting.

1561
02:14:08,470 --> 02:14:11,950
Thank you for those of you out in the audience who were there.

1562
02:14:11,950 --> 02:14:15,830
We got made a huge difference having us be there.

1563
02:14:16,090 --> 02:14:19,210
I think it made a difference to our community seeing us there.

1564
02:14:19,970 --> 02:14:23,550
I wasn't able to stay for the whole thing, but I certainly listened the whole way home.

1565
02:14:23,910 --> 02:14:25,570
And then when I got into the classroom,

1566
02:14:26,430 --> 02:14:30,310
listened with the students that I worked with my leadership program.

1567
02:14:30,690 --> 02:14:33,310
So yeah, there were some learning moments there,

1568
02:14:33,470 --> 02:14:37,270
as I was screaming my head off in the classroom.

1569
02:14:38,030 --> 02:14:46,710
But yeah, so I just felt good to represent our community for this whole entire time, right?

1570
02:14:46,830 --> 02:14:54,530
This whole time we've been talking about SDR, so I look forward to our conversation tomorrow night with planning.

1571
02:14:55,190 --> 02:14:59,850
Um, you know, I was just want to say a couple little things about Oz Pack.

1572
02:15:00,520 --> 02:15:12,880
Our open space and parkland advisory committee. For one, I want to thank Aaron who is the chair. He is doing a fantastic job.

1573
02:15:13,900 --> 02:15:21,580
You know, you put someone with a lot of energy in a leadership position and you just let him go and he's doing great. So, way to go, Aaron.

1574
02:15:21,580 --> 02:15:26,180
And I just want to thank them, they're doing some really great work, you know, they have

1575
02:15:26,180 --> 02:15:33,340
trail days, once a month, and they're doing a lot of youth involvement, which is wonderful.

1576
02:15:33,480 --> 02:15:37,760
They're going to do a program with the library, with stickers, and all kinds of things.

1577
02:15:37,880 --> 02:15:40,360
So they're doing some really innovative things in Auspax.

1578
02:15:40,400 --> 02:15:42,880
So it's fun to be there.

1579
02:15:43,300 --> 02:15:44,680
So, way to go.

1580
02:15:45,720 --> 02:15:53,800
And then I just want to remind everybody that we are a board member for Hope, which is healing overdose prevention education.

1581
02:15:54,660 --> 02:16:04,900
And we are having our memorial walk, our third memorial walk this weekend, Saturday at Valley Mars School from 10 o'clock to 3 o'clock.

1582
02:16:05,120 --> 02:16:10,860
It's a long event, but there's really great speakers and some educational components and resources.

1583
02:16:10,860 --> 02:16:15,580
and then they'll be a memorial walk-in down to the memorial gardens.

1584
02:16:16,260 --> 02:16:19,620
And back, so please join us.

1585
02:16:20,440 --> 02:16:26,780
It's really also empowering to do work with people who are grieving.

1586
02:16:28,560 --> 02:16:33,660
And I know from the experiences that my family had when we were grieving,

1587
02:16:33,740 --> 02:16:38,960
and we started doing work in prevention, so it's really good for me to be a part of that,

1588
02:16:38,960 --> 02:16:42,780
and kind of help them through that,

1589
02:16:42,780 --> 02:16:45,120
those pieces cause they can get very personal.

1590
02:16:46,480 --> 02:16:48,140
And so, come out and join us.

1591
02:16:48,220 --> 02:16:48,940
It's going to be great.

1592
02:16:51,130 --> 02:16:52,990
And thanks, Greg, for being there.

1593
02:16:53,650 --> 02:16:55,830
I'm happy to do it.

1594
02:16:56,750 --> 02:16:58,230
I've been doing a few things.

1595
02:16:58,310 --> 02:17:00,150
I've been working a little bit on the VLF thing,

1596
02:17:00,510 --> 02:17:03,270
both at the meeting we went to and quite a bit of work

1597
02:17:03,270 --> 02:17:04,270
behind the scenes.

1598
02:17:04,990 --> 02:17:08,390
I've done a little bit of reaching out to a lot of our state

1599
02:17:08,390 --> 02:17:13,850
representatives to work on some things I've been trying to work on a bunch of stuff with

1600
02:17:13,850 --> 02:17:22,110
PRC. I'm very much hoping that we get to make their dream come true at some point and through

1601
02:17:22,110 --> 02:17:28,230
a bunch of advocacy work in collaboration with some people at the county similar to what

1602
02:17:28,230 --> 02:17:34,530
some other sitting up here are doing. I hope that we see we can make a wish come true. That

1603
02:17:34,530 --> 02:17:42,330
would just be a very wonderful and inspirational thing, and that my number of other committees

1604
02:17:42,330 --> 02:17:50,110
and commissions as well doing that in advocacy, love the work that we've been doing

1605
02:17:50,110 --> 02:17:58,190
on BPank that that was fun in having some successes and to bring some stuff home. I was

1606
02:17:58,190 --> 02:18:04,170
very disappointed with the Coastal Commission hearing both from a process perspective and a

1607
02:18:04,170 --> 02:18:11,090
It was all its perspective, but I was really glad that we were there and that my were you

1608
02:18:11,090 --> 02:18:18,590
were online there supporting us behind the scenes I greatly appreciate that and it is a refreshing

1609
02:18:18,590 --> 02:18:26,470
change to get emails complimenting our extremely hard working staff when they do extremely

1610
02:18:26,470 --> 02:18:36,530
good work and it makes me very proud of our city and proud of our staff and proud to be

1611
02:18:36,530 --> 02:18:43,370
a pacific and we're lucky to have. That's about it. And I just want to thank

1612
02:18:43,370 --> 02:18:53,170
Sarah Coffee. Sarah is such an important person on council like I will say if we don't

1613
02:18:53,170 --> 02:19:00,230
need anybody. I think we need Sarah coffee. So you'll be the hero. And you are the hero

1614
02:19:00,230 --> 02:19:06,310
for all of us, Sarah. And I do appreciate you. I just want to say thank you to you.

1615
02:19:06,510 --> 02:19:06,950
Thank you.

1616
02:19:10,650 --> 02:19:17,690
I'm just going to make one other story Emily, you too.

1617
02:19:23,720 --> 02:19:27,020
It's hard not to just then start listing out everybody else's scene.

1618
02:19:27,320 --> 02:19:29,500
It's here in the room, what do you see you?

1619
02:19:31,220 --> 02:19:34,600
Just one other event that's coming up on August 30th,

1620
02:19:35,400 --> 02:19:40,200
the historical society is having a presentation, Pacificist peer,

1621
02:19:40,700 --> 02:19:41,540
history and celebration.

1622
02:19:43,100 --> 02:19:50,860
There's going to be food in the courtyard from between the church and the city buildings

1623
02:19:50,860 --> 02:19:57,340
from noon to 1.30, the chat is providing the food that you can purchase, and then from

1624
02:19:57,340 --> 02:20:05,340
2 to 3.30, there are displays and a program inside, the little brown church. I've met

1625
02:20:05,340 --> 02:20:15,420
this writer, who lives near Gopier, and who has a book of these beautiful stories. The name

1626
02:20:15,420 --> 02:20:20,140
is spell heaven, and a lot of them about the peer book. More than the structure, the

1627
02:20:20,140 --> 02:20:24,860
people that are there in the community that are there and she'll be doing a reading from her

1628
02:20:24,860 --> 02:20:31,800
beautiful book. And they'll also be paintings of the peer from different community members.

1629
02:20:33,040 --> 02:20:39,200
And I'm honored that the one I did as a goodbye present for Kevin will be hanging there too.

1630
02:20:39,820 --> 02:20:44,580
So I can't be there. I'm really sad to miss it, but it's the 30th.

1631
02:20:49,020 --> 02:20:58,380
I want to mention that I think not 100% sure, but a fair moon homeowner association is going

1632
02:20:58,380 --> 02:21:07,060
to donate some money for purification around the Child Care Center at Fairmoon.

1633
02:21:11,080 --> 02:21:12,280
It is kind

1634
02:21:12,280 --> 02:21:19,860
if they have extra income so they could help us to purify that area and they're considering

1635
02:21:19,860 --> 02:21:25,440
that. So hopefully we will have a nice little garden around that child care center.

1636
02:21:25,500 --> 02:21:28,900
And we're on the new bathroom. Yes, I'm excited to see that.

1637
02:21:30,950 --> 02:21:33,570
All right. City managers are open here.

1638
02:21:35,550 --> 02:21:41,230
Good evening. A couple of things Councilmember Espinoza's right. The two most important people in the

1639
02:21:41,230 --> 02:21:45,130
city structure are the clerk and the person who sends out the paychecks,

1640
02:21:47,590 --> 02:21:48,930
just as a friendly reminder,

1641
02:21:50,330 --> 02:21:54,150
the council and the Planning Commission have a joint study session tomorrow, at six, and

1642
02:21:54,150 --> 02:21:59,150
then the Planning Commission has a study session immediately, I'm sorry, a special meeting

1643
02:22:00,150 --> 02:22:11,010
with action items, immediately following that on the STR topic, and then we are also recruiting

1644
02:22:11,010 --> 02:22:15,810
for our committees and I just want to make sure I use this opportunity to let folks know

1645
02:22:15,810 --> 02:22:21,590
that we have two vacancies on the Climate Action and Resilience Committee, two positions

1646
02:22:21,590 --> 02:22:27,890
on the Economic Development Committee, two positions on the Emergency Preparedness and Safety

1647
02:22:27,890 --> 02:22:29,970
Commission and three positions.

1648
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:39,360
Questions on the Library Advisory Committee and the application time frame is noon on September 4th, Friday, September 4th.

1649
02:22:39,520 --> 02:22:47,360
I need a short, do fine people. Is that September 4th?

1650
02:22:47,360 --> 02:22:48,020
the number four.

1651
02:22:48,040 --> 02:22:51,320
That's for the applications for people to put in their papers.

1652
02:22:51,560 --> 02:22:52,320
Oh, I.

1653
02:22:52,580 --> 02:22:53,580
And it's been posted.

1654
02:22:53,580 --> 02:22:55,600
The meeting hasn't been set yet.

1655
02:22:56,080 --> 02:22:56,300
No, right.

1656
02:22:57,040 --> 02:22:57,080
Sarah.

1657
02:22:58,380 --> 02:23:01,980
No, it depends on the number of applications that come in.

1658
02:23:02,260 --> 02:23:04,120
Sometimes if we don't have enough applications,

1659
02:23:04,520 --> 02:23:06,520
we'll extend by a week or two,

1660
02:23:06,580 --> 02:23:10,560
and that may be the case with the number of positions.

1661
02:23:11,220 --> 02:23:13,840
We are recruiting for a few youth positions,

1662
02:23:14,660 --> 02:23:16,400
particularly on the climate action

1663
02:23:16,400 --> 02:23:20,020
and resilience committee and also on the Library Advisory Committee.

1664
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:22,700
I was asking about that.

1665
02:23:22,740 --> 02:23:24,620
Can you clarify our, like those,

1666
02:23:24,760 --> 02:23:27,720
because we have two youth on the Climate Advisory Committee now,

1667
02:23:27,760 --> 02:23:29,020
and those are yearly positions.

1668
02:23:29,160 --> 02:23:30,260
So it was the two positions.

1669
02:23:30,620 --> 02:23:34,860
The two positions on the Climate Action and Resilience Committee are for the,

1670
02:23:34,860 --> 02:23:38,420
the one year youth positions that are,

1671
02:23:38,420 --> 02:23:40,360
that are inspiring terms.

1672
02:23:41,360 --> 02:23:44,940
So for the Climate Action and Resilience Committee,

1673
02:23:44,940 --> 02:23:56,320
youth position is defined as youth ages between 14 and 25, so covering kind of college age

1674
02:23:56,320 --> 02:24:02,960
providing that one-year position so that they don't need to commit to a full four-year position.

1675
02:24:03,520 --> 02:24:09,960
And then one of the two on the library is a youth delivery advisory committee. There are two youth positions

1676
02:24:09,960 --> 02:24:16,880
on that one as well, and those are for one year terms that expire annually in October.

1677
02:24:17,880 --> 02:24:18,740
Okay, okay, great.

1678
02:24:19,140 --> 02:24:24,580
And for the Library Advisory Committee, the youth positions are defined as under the age of 18.

1679
02:24:28,500 --> 02:24:32,140
We're narrowly, it's not best practices, my understanding,

1680
02:24:32,640 --> 02:24:34,980
but since we're having a joint study session,

1681
02:24:34,980 --> 02:24:42,060
or should we leave after the study session or is it okay to stay and watch the planning

1682
02:24:42,060 --> 02:24:43,120
commission meeting?

1683
02:24:44,740 --> 02:24:51,220
The safest harbor would be to not be in the same room, with each other given that the

1684
02:24:51,220 --> 02:25:00,480
planning commission action may come before the city council for action, and if council members

1685
02:25:00,480 --> 02:25:07,080
So desire to stay in the room and listen, which would not be the safest harbor than to sit

1686
02:25:07,080 --> 02:25:08,340
as far apart as possible.

1687
02:25:08,980 --> 02:25:11,800
But there is no difference because it was a study session.

1688
02:25:11,900 --> 02:25:19,380
That was the distinction prior to it that I was looking for, but I hear you, I will follow

1689
02:25:19,380 --> 02:25:20,300
the best practice.

1690
02:25:23,280 --> 02:25:23,580
Okay.

1691
02:25:24,580 --> 02:25:27,900
With that, I'll adjourn our meeting at 9.46 PM.

1692
02:25:28,080 --> 02:25:28,920
Thank you, everybody.

1693
02:25:29,900 --> 02:25:30,680
Thank you.

1694
02:25:31,100 --> 02:25:32,660
I got to go find...
