We ask, Lord, God, that you will give those in authority the inside and the courage to

18
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:49,690
make thoughtful and courageous decisions for the fruitfulness and the prosperity of not

19
00:01:49,690 --> 00:01:53,430
just this generation, but the next generation to come in Jesus' name, we pray.

20
00:01:53,690 --> 00:01:53,890
Amen.

21
00:01:54,170 --> 00:01:54,310
Amen.

22
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:58,170

23
00:01:58,330 --> 00:01:59,330
Put your right hand over your heart.

24
00:01:59,530 --> 00:01:59,850
Ready?

25
00:02:00,050 --> 00:02:00,230
Begin.

26
00:02:00,230 --> 00:02:02,350
I pledge allegiance to the

27
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:08,160
Republic of Winchester's One Nation.

28
00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:14,250
Thank you, Pastor.

29
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:20,090
All right, item five is reported on close session items.

30
00:02:20,530 --> 00:02:21,550
I'm Mrs. Sultani.

31
00:02:22,270 --> 00:02:23,070
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

32
00:02:23,370 --> 00:02:24,770
The council met in close session and

33
00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:30,970
pursuant to government code section 54956.92 to discuss one potential litigation or

34
00:02:30,970 --> 00:02:32,170
reportable action was taken.

35
00:02:32,830 --> 00:02:33,350
Thank you.

36
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:36,770
Item six is presentations and announcements.

37
00:02:37,010 --> 00:02:37,570
We have none.

38
00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:40,490
Item seven in our youth advisory committee communications.

39
00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:44,930
This report will be given by Miguel Ramirez, our Vice President of the Youth Advisory Committee.

40
00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:54,340
Good evening Honorable Mayor, members of the City Council and City staff.

41
00:02:54,820 --> 00:02:59,760
My name is Miguel Ramirez, and I am honored to serve as Vice President of the Paris Youth Advisory Committee.

42
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,000
I would like to share a few of our upcoming YC activities.

43
00:03:03,380 --> 00:03:07,840
This Friday, September 11th, YC will be assisting with the end of the summer splash and

44
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Chanted Hills Park.

45
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,240
We look forward to helping with this event, spending a fun evening with our community.

46
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:20,140
Also, on Saturday, September 12th, we will hold our YEC's strategic planning session at

48
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,620
developing goals and establishing priorities for this upcoming year.

49
00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:35,160
Our next YEC meeting will be Tuesday, September 15th, and by our youth, we invite the youth

50
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,640
in our community who are interested in leadership, community service, and getting involved with

51
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600
their community to join us, meet our members, and learn more about YEC.

52
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,360
Then on Saturday, September 19th, YEC will participate in the Park Certification at Mercado Park.

53
00:03:48,820 --> 00:03:52,820
Check in will begin at 7.30 a.m., and the beautification will begin at 8 a.m.

54
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,800
Afterwards, YEC members will attend and support Baseball Clinic at FOSS Field Park.

We look forward to continue to serve our community, grow as young leaders, and

56
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,940
make positive impacts throughout Paris.

57

Make sure to follow us at our shows so at Paris YC for more updates.

58
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,640
Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

59
00:04:20,020 --> 00:04:21,900
Okay, item 8 is our public comments.

60
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:23,400
Man, I'm sure you have any requests to speak.

61
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:24,140
No, sir.

62
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,760
Thank you.

63
00:04:25,780 --> 00:04:27,020
Item 9 is approval of minutes.

64
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,540
9 a.m. is consideration to approve the minutes of the regular joint meeting held on August 25th, 2026.

65
00:04:39,570 --> 00:04:41,390
Michael, do you have someone for public comment?

66
00:04:43,530 --> 00:04:50,070
We do sir, but they were did after public comment ended. Do we want to allow them to speak? No, that's okay

67
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:52,130
Come on in I keep forgetting to check with you guys.

68
00:04:58,180 --> 00:04:59,340
Is it the Anita?

69
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:32,240
Hello. Yes. Oh, hi. I'm calling in from on zoom. Good evening, council members and residents of Paris. My name is Sochi Martin and today I would like to be addressing course of control and human trafficking. I stand before you from my home here in San Diego as a former resident of Paris and a survivor of a coercive group hiding under the veil of a church. Unfortunately, I would

70
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,480
was born into this environment

71
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:36,140
and exploited in every way by its leaders

72
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:39,520
since I was a child, taken to them by my own family

73
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,320
and my community.

74
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:42,280
Path fast forward.

75
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,820
As a young woman, the group's leader Nasson Puking

76
00:05:45,820 --> 00:05:49,700
and my abuser, ordered me to live with Lupebomé Zvarera.

77
00:05:50,260 --> 00:05:52,880
In exchange for shelter, she climbed the ranks

78
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,300
to a director's seat in the nonprofit APS.

79
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,300
Many know APS as her youth movement,

80
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:02,340
but it is a structure used to traffic its members.

81
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,740
I was a victim of labor trafficking within APS

82
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:08,600
and the church's media company, Berea,

83
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:10,360
where Lupe also worked.

84
00:06:10,940 --> 00:06:13,020
These businesses are funded by the church

85
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:15,020
to enforce leaders orders.

86
00:06:15,740 --> 00:06:17,920
Lupe Gomez publicly defends the innocence

87
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,940
of a convicted child sex offender.

88
00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:23,200
Her influence is a danger to our most vulnerable.

89
00:06:23,980 --> 00:06:25,760
This is not a local anomaly.

90
00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:27,660
It is a global criminal enterprise.

91
00:06:27,660 --> 00:06:32,500
National Parking is currently facing a massive federal indictment by the U.S. Department

92
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:36,920
of Justice for racketeering, sex trafficking, and child exploitation.

93
00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:44,040
The Department of Justice describes the Joaquin LLDM Enterprise as a system that has abused

94
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,160
generations of followers for the personal gratification of its leaders.

95
00:06:48,980 --> 00:06:51,200
My warnings are not based on opinions.

96
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,880
They are backed by the courts.

97
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:59,780
In November 2024, Youth Leader Abraham Hadnell Coronado, who held close ties to the San

98
00:06:59,780 --> 00:07:00,080
Leader.

99
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:01,440
Mr. Mayor, point of order.

100
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,720
So she, hang on one second, Senate Attorney needs to make a comment.

101
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:05,400
Yes.

102
00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:14,320
So I heard a candidate's name mentioned we are embarking on election season and you are

103
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,700
not to use the public forum to do electioneering for any candidate.

104
00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:28,520
You may speak about what happened in a church, things like that of that nature, but you cannot be bringing up candidates' name and advocating and electioneering for them.

105
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:44,720
So, Mr. Mayor, I think we need to have a process going forward that anyone that brings up any candidates' names during public comment, advocating in any shape or form directly or indirectly for them that their might gets cut off, so we're not violating any laws.

106
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,880
Yes, thank you.

107
00:07:48,410 --> 00:07:49,570
I'm sorry, do I proceed?

108
00:07:50,730 --> 00:07:53,250
You could proceed, but can I be talking about the candidates?

109
00:07:53,890 --> 00:07:54,090
Okay.

110
00:07:55,390 --> 00:08:00,890
This pastor was sentenced to 175 years to life for the systemic sexual abuse of children

111
00:08:00,890 --> 00:08:02,950
at the churches of NSED Ranch and Redlands.

112
00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:04,390
This pattern is clear.

113
00:08:04,570 --> 00:08:09,250
These generations use their properties and youth movements to isolate and exploit children.

114
00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:13,990
The person running, defends the leadership and fosters predators.

115
00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:16,590
I urge the city of Paris to not look away.

116
00:08:16,970 --> 00:08:23,030
Of course, if calls are real, active, and dangerous, we have a moral obligation to protect our citizens.

117
00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:24,830
Okay, your time's up, so she thank you.

118
00:08:25,330 --> 00:08:25,690
Thank you.

119
00:08:27,450 --> 00:08:28,870
Anybody else? IT?

120
00:08:30,050 --> 00:08:30,830
That is all.

121
00:08:32,050 --> 00:08:39,510
All right, item 9 is approval of minutes, 9 a's, consideration to approve the minutes of the regular joint meeting held on August 25th, 2026.

122
00:08:40,090 --> 00:08:45,630
Council have been having the pool or question, if not looking for a motion to approve.

123
00:08:49,390 --> 00:08:53,250
I have a motion by Councilman Raab, seconded by Councilwoman Nava, please call the vote.

124
00:09:10,910 --> 00:09:11,150
Elizabeth.

125
00:09:14,780 --> 00:09:16,020
By the motion approved.

126
00:09:16,420 --> 00:09:16,720
Thank you.

127
00:09:18,340 --> 00:09:19,900
Item 10 is consent calendar items.

128
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,520
Consent calendar items are enacted in one motion, the mayor of the city council may remove the consent

129
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,000
calendar item for a separate action.

130
00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:29,320
We will have public comment limited to the three minutes.

131
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,900
Do we have any requests to speak on this item?

132
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:31,700
No, sir.

133
00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:39,260
Okay, Council item 10D, I believe we all got a memorandum from the City of Engineers' Office requesting to pull it.

134
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:45,200
It sounds like Edison is finally coming through with what they need to do to get us with a timeline.

135
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,260
So we're going to pull this item until September 29th.

136
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:52,560
Sure.

137
00:09:54,820 --> 00:09:55,420
Go ahead.

138
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:55,820
Okay.

139
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,980
You know, you don't have questions because I think there's a-

140
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:29,000
With the second time that we've, we've, we've moved it to a future meeting. So I guess the question I have, like, like, what, if you could give us an update, give the public an update, because especially in the last two weeks, I've been kind of, like receiving messages with regards to this street closure, that's been closed for about two years already. Thank you, Councilman Corona. As you know, you know, we've been, they've been working, the applicant's been working on this part for the last three years through design process.

141
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,880
this, and ultimately we should once the plans were complete, we should be road closure.

142
00:10:37,140 --> 00:10:44,260
But since two years ago, they've been a lot of coordination between the numerous agencies

143
00:10:44,260 --> 00:10:45,500
that we have to work with.

144
00:10:45,940 --> 00:10:48,940
These are local agencies as well as state agencies.

145
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:56,160
So hopefully we have everything resolved by now and trying to get a finalized schedule

146
00:10:57,180 --> 00:11:00,980
from one of the agencies, so we can proceed in completing the work.

147
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,140
Meanwhile, the developer has been doing a lot of the work, conduits are in place,

148
00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:08,840
a lot of the other facilities have been in place.

149
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,300
So we're just waiting for this final connection.

150
00:11:12,740 --> 00:11:14,640
So we can proceed and finalize the work.

151
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:15,680
And do we have an estimate?

152
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,320
Not at this time.

153
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:19,260
Thank you, Mayor Vargas.

154
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:25,360
You helped us writing a letter to Edison requesting and they've been responsive.

155
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,400
And they have selected the contractor, so we're waiting for this schedule from the contractor.

156
00:11:31,460 --> 00:11:33,640
Hopefully within this week.

157
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,000
Okay, thank you.

158
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,200
And that's the purpose of this extension.

159
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,000
We will get some dates finally or timeline, right?

160
00:11:42,580 --> 00:11:42,840
Yes.

161
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:43,640
All right.

162
00:11:44,020 --> 00:11:44,340
Anybody else?

163
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:45,940
All right.

164
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,600

00:13:11,270 --> 00:13:11,670

Thank you.

184
00:13:29,470 --> 00:13:31,510
Council, in any way, have any questions at this time?

185
00:13:33,070 --> 00:13:35,190
Madam Clerk, do we have any requests to speak on?

189
00:13:39,330 --> 00:13:43,070
Very good, and I'm looking for a motion then on 10 A and B.

190
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,040
I'm sorry, 11 A and B, thank you.

191
00:13:50,540 --> 00:13:51,640
I can't hear you.

192
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,960
You have ballots, go ahead and pull the ballots, I'm sorry, for both of them.

193
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:57,140
Okay.

194
00:14:15,950 --> 00:14:24,110
City of Paris, annexation of CUP 22-05172, maintenance district number 841.

195
00:14:24,110 --> 00:14:25,490

201
00:15:52,970 --> 00:15:59,950
So, at this point, if all the ballots were marked yes, I'm calling for a motion on the three resolutions.

220
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,220
known as the CAPER.

This is going to be introduced by a director of public services, Sabrina Chavez.

222
00:18:24,660 --> 00:18:30,020
Good evening Honorable Mayor, members of the City Council, this item will be presented

223
00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:32,780
by a principal management analyst, Martin Martinez.

224
00:18:33,180 --> 00:18:33,680
Thank you.

225
00:18:41,090 --> 00:18:44,150
Good evening Honorable Mayor, council members and city staff.

226
00:18:44,890 --> 00:18:48,730
Before we begin the formal K-Prepresentation, I would like to take a few minutes to provide

227
00:18:49,230 --> 00:18:51,390
a CDBG program overview.

228
00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:58,550
The Community Development Blog Grant was initiated by an act of Congress as a part of the Community

229
00:18:58,550 --> 00:19:00,450
Development Act of 1974.

230
00:19:00,450 --> 00:19:07,870
The program is funded directly by the federal government's U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developments, also known as HUD.

231
00:19:10,380 --> 00:19:12,520
City of Paris, CDBG Program overview.

232
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:17,980
Since the CDBG Program transition to the public services department back in August of 2025,

233
00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:24,900
one of our primary focuses has been to gain a complete understanding of the program's financial and administrative standing.

234
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:31,340
In order to accomplish this, we have established by weekly meetings with our non-public service project teams

235
00:19:31,340 --> 00:19:35,600
increasing our tracking of active projects, our tracking of expenditures.

236
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:42,740
HUD timeliness requirements and providing more frequent technical assistance to our sub-recipients and city project leads.

237
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:50,100
We have also scheduled CDBG committee meetings to update and provide program progress and status updates.

238
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:56,500
A significant amount of our work has centered around program reconciliation and compliance.

239
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:59,960
The staff has conducted a comprehensive review of the

240
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:08,760
We have CDBG records, funding balances, expenditures, prior year activities, and information reported in HUD's IDIS portal.

241
00:20:09,820 --> 00:20:29,240
We have worked closely with our CDBG consultant and the city's finance department to identify and resolve outstanding items and ensure that our program records accurately reflect the status of our funding and activities. Through that process, we have also identified timeliness as an area requiring significant attention.

242
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:38,240
staff developed a plan to accelerate expenditures and has been closely tracking prior your projects towards completion and close out.

243
00:20:39,340 --> 00:20:47,480
It is also important to recognize that this particular program year 2526 experience an unusual delay at the federal level.

244
00:20:48,020 --> 00:20:57,660
Due to the federal government shutdown, the city's HUD grant agreement which would typically expect to be received around September or October of 2025

245
00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:01,660
was not received until the end of January of 2026.

246
00:21:02,340 --> 00:21:08,120
This reduced the timeframe available to execute agreements and begin moving forward current year activities.

247
00:21:08,820 --> 00:21:13,520
This delay was a critical concern in counter during the 2526 fiscal year.

248
00:21:14,260 --> 00:21:18,420
But despite that delay, staff continue working on the items that could be advanced internally,

249
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,320
so that the projects would be positioned to move forward.

250
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:28,480
Now, next steps, while a significant amount of work has been completed, moving forward,

251
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:34,540
our focus is to continue implementing the fiscal year 2627 programs, execute agreements

252
00:21:34,540 --> 00:21:37,980
and launch funded projects and expand remaining funds.

253
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,880
Overall, since CDBG transition to the Public Services Department, our focus has been to strengthen

254
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:49,700
the foundation of the program financially, administratively, and operationally, while also

255
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:54,080
addressing prior year activities and preparing current and future projects for implementation.

256
00:21:54,820 --> 00:21:59,220
A tremendous amount of work has occurred behind the scenes to get the programs to where it is today.

257
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,780
And I want to thank our staff, our finance department, the CDBG committee,

258
00:22:04,420 --> 00:22:10,000
project leads, sub-recipients, and our consultant for their continued collaboration throughout this transition.

259
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:17,760
And with that overview, I will now turn it over to our consultant to walk the city council through the fiscal year 2526,

260
00:22:34,140 --> 00:22:46,880
I will be reviewing the CDBG reporting overview to continue to receive its annual location had requires the city comply with three specific requirements.

261
00:22:47,460 --> 00:22:50,980
The first being the consolidated plan also known as the comp plan.

262
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:58,360
The comp plan is a five year plan that outlines the city's five year goals and strategies for the next five year cycle.

263
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:04,620
The fiscal year 2526 represents the second year of the city's comp plan year.

264
00:23:05,420 --> 00:23:15,520
The second is the annual action plan, or known as the AAP, is an annual plan that outlines the city's intended use of CDBG funds for

265
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,760
the year in alignment with the meeting, sorry, with meeting the sitting schools as established

266
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:27,440
in the consolidated plan. Lastly is the paper, which is the report presented to you today,

267
00:23:28,180 --> 00:23:33,780
the paper assessments, the cities in which the progress and performance in meeting the goal

268
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:39,940
outlined in the previous fiscal year's annual action plan. So this paper reports on the

269
00:23:39,940 --> 00:23:42,980
the 2526 annual action plan goals.

270
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,580
In accordance with the city's citizen participation plan,

271
00:23:47,140 --> 00:23:52,380
the paper was made available to the public for 15 days common period,

272
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,420
beginning August 24.

273
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:12,800
For fiscal year 2526, the city received a total of 940,237 of which 188,047 was allocated to the city's

274
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,340

275
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:25,720
There's also a 15% cap on public services, which is a total of $141,035.

276
00:24:26,420 --> 00:24:33,580
The city was successful in the spending 100% of its administrative and public service funds.

277
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:45,160
Public service accomplishments, this table outlines organizations that received funds and

278
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,600
implemented programs in fiscal year 2025, along with the respective accomplishments.

279
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:57,420
Although CDBG experience, implementation delays due to government shutdowns,

280
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,940
and processing the agreement's subversive-

281

2526 were allocated to public facility projects.

286
00:25:33,060 --> 00:25:39,320
As noted, early in implementation challenges, there were delays in launching these activities.

287
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,840
And spending money, however, staff efforts and reconciliation,

288

318
00:29:13,380 --> 00:29:19,080
south of Nuevo, west of Dunlap, drive within the city limits. City of Paris, excuse me.

319
00:29:19,980 --> 00:29:22,780
This will be introduced by a director of finance, Mr. Matthew Schenk.

320
00:29:22,780 --> 00:29:25,920
Thank you, Honorable Mayor, members of the City Council for this item.

321
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,340
We will have the city's municipal advisor, Jim Fabian, from Fieldman Real App and Associates.

322
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:31,320
Thank you, Jim.

323
00:29:32,380 --> 00:29:35,800
Honorable Mayor, members of the City Council, Jim Fabian of Fieldman Real App.

324
00:29:36,180 --> 00:29:37,220
Pleasure to be here tonight.

325
00:29:37,660 --> 00:29:42,120
Have a short presentation to walk through regarding this matter in front of you.

326
00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:50,060
So tonight, to summarize, we have in front of you a resolution that will approve the issuance of bonds for

327
00:29:50,060 --> 00:29:57,240
the park west CFD improvement area number one, the not to exceed amount of the bond issue will be 12

328
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,580
2,250,000.

329
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,880
In front of you two are all the documents that have prepared by the city's bond council required for the sale of the bonds. The bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the developer for infrastructure and fees paid for the development of the project. We will also fund a death service reserve fund and a capitalized interest fund and cost of issuance. I'll look at those on slide five when we go through the sources.

330
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:36,820
and uses. The security for the bonds is the property located within the improvement area

331
00:30:36,820 --> 00:30:43,580
number one. All the homes that are in that development have a special tax lien recorded

332
00:30:44,270 --> 00:30:50,680
that is used to secure the repayment of the special taxes to secure the repayment of

333
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,760
the bonds. There's no impact to the city's general fund by approval of this item.

334
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,660
Just a point of background, this was formed back on January 9th of 2024.

335
00:31:03,420 --> 00:31:09,460
You can see on the map there that the red outline is improvement area number one.

336
00:31:09,940 --> 00:31:14,460
The Park West project actually has three improvement areas, one, two, and three.

337
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:20,640
All I think improvement area number two is also under development development right now.

338
00:31:21,260 --> 00:31:25,080
And then improvement area number three is about to begin development.

339
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:35,020
And so, really going well out there at the project, myself and Rick Brandis of Oppenheimer had a chance to tour the site a couple weeks ago.

340
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,280
And the sales are going really strong.

341
00:31:37,460 --> 00:31:40,960
Pulties very happy with the sales out there at Park West.

342
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:47,200
As I mentioned, we have a resolution to prove up to 14 million of bonds.

343
00:31:47,460 --> 00:31:48,680
We won't go that high.

344
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:58,420
The special taxes on the property within the Improven area number one are paid and

345
00:31:58,420 --> 00:32:03,720
apportioned through the rate and method of apportionment that was adopted when the CFD was formed.

346
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:10,080
This financing is solely for Improven area number one, not for two or not for three.

347
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,020
As I mentioned, Poltty is the developer.

348
00:32:14,020 --> 00:32:20,360
We have 211 single-family homes that are out there across three different neighborhood Cyprus,

349
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,220
Botanica and Sage.

350
00:32:23,060 --> 00:32:31,200
As of July 10th, when the appraisal was done, we had 87 homes that are occupied by individual

351
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,120
homeowners now.

352
00:32:32,380 --> 00:32:40,400
We have 124 homes that are either under being built or are going to be built very soon.

353
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,680
And we have 50 homes that are in escrow.

354
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:49,060
So, you know, we basically have half the project that are actually now sold to individual homeowners.

355
00:32:49,860 --> 00:32:52,640
As I mentioned, the appraisal was done in August.

356
00:32:53,100 --> 00:33:02,120
The apprais value and the assess value, because we did have some homes that were on the secure property tax roll was approximately $90 million dollars.

357
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:10,400
As I mentioned, based upon current interest rates, we're going to be issuing about $11.1 million of bonds.

358
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:34,400
We do have some dollars that were collected from 25, 26 special tax levies that will be used, the project fund which will be used to reimburse the developer for the project cost for infrastructure and fees is approximately 9.2 million, the city will get its $1,000 per residential unit which is $211,000.

359
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,800
There will be a debt service reserve fund funded through the bond proceeds capitalized

360
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,520
interest and cost of issuance and underwriters discount.

361
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,640
The final maturity on the bonds will be September 1st of 2057.

362
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,940
There will be roughly 30 year bonds.

363
00:33:50,580 --> 00:33:58,960
We anticipate that will be right around 5.41% interest rate as of August 21st.

364
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:06,580
The parameters within the resolution, as I mentioned, are 12,250 in terms of the bond

365
00:34:06,580 --> 00:34:13,400
authorization, 6.5% for the true interest cost, and 1.5% for the under-udders discount.

366
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:20,200
On this slide, just wanted to highlight the value to lean, as I mentioned, is 8.3 to 1.

367
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:23,740
So we have a lot of value for the lean on the property.

368
00:34:23,740 --> 00:34:31,180
Your policies require four to one, so we're double what the minimum policy threshold is for the city.

369
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:42,580
We are providing 110% debt service coverage on the bond, so for every dollar debt service, we collect a dollar 10, so there's a cushion for

370
00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:48,460
the potential, any delinquency and payment of special taxes for the bond holders.

371
00:34:48,460 --> 00:34:53,240
This shows a breakdown of the different types of products within the development.

372
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:59,840
You can see we have some, some homes over 3,300 square feet and then some down in the 21.

373
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:29,980
I will mention that the effective tax rate of homes in this development are below 2% which is the city's policy. So tonight in front of you with the resolution we have the preliminary official statement that is the marketing document used by the underwriter to market the bonds to the public. It provides all information of bond investor needs to make a decision whether they want to buy the bonds or not.

374
00:35:29,980 --> 00:35:36,260
not. We also have the continuing disclosure agreement annually. You'll provide update on the

375
00:35:36,260 --> 00:35:41,560
development to the bond market, the fiscal age and agreement which lays out all the terms with

376
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:47,440
US bank about how principal and interest payments will be paid over the 30 year life of the bonds.

377
00:35:48,060 --> 00:35:53,680
And then the bond purchase agreement which is the document where Oppenheimer buys the bonds from

378
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,940
the city and then resells them to the public.

379
00:35:57,660 --> 00:36:02,860
So tonight we have the approval of the resolution to authorize the issuance of the bonds.

380
00:36:03,660 --> 00:36:08,640
On September 14th, we're going to post the preliminary official statement that starts

381
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,340
the marketing for the bonds.

382
00:36:10,820 --> 00:36:16,320
The bonds are scheduled to be sold right around September the 24th and then close on October

383
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:17,840
the 8th.

384
00:36:19,150 --> 00:36:25,850
So tonight's recommendation is to adopt the resolution for the issuance of the bonds

385
00:36:25,850 --> 00:36:30,650
for part-quest improvement area number one, approve the financing documents that are

386
00:36:30,650 --> 00:36:36,730
in your packet tonight, authorize the city officers to take any necessary actions required

387
00:36:36,730 --> 00:36:42,590
to complete the financing, and as I mentioned, the principal not to exceed amount is 12,250.

388
00:36:42,590 --> 00:36:51,290
50. A need a look of Alshar Winder is on Zoom if you have any legal questions. Again, Jim

389
00:36:51,290 --> 00:36:58,030
Fabian, Philman Rolab, Rick Brandis of Oppenheimer is in the audience. Also, we have Will Dan,

390
00:36:58,210 --> 00:37:02,790
who is the City Special Tax Consultant in the audience as well. So with that, answer any

391
00:37:02,790 --> 00:37:04,930
questions that you might have regarding this matter.

392
00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:08,650
Thank you, Jim. Councilor Bay of any quick questions or comments?

393
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,700
Madam Clerk, do you have any requests this week?

394
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:14,700
No, sir.

395
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,520
I.T.?

396
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:17,620
No, sir.

397
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:18,760
Very good.

398
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:19,360
Thank you.

399
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,080
All right.

400
00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:22,320
And I'm going to call for a motion on the resolution.

401
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,940
I have motion by Mayor Proktaem Corona, second by Councilman Rab.

402
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:31,720
Please call the vote.

403
00:37:38,070 --> 00:37:39,170
By vote, motion approved.

404
00:37:40,270 --> 00:37:40,830
Very good.

405
00:37:42,090 --> 00:37:42,450
Okay.

406
00:37:42,610 --> 00:37:45,770
Moving on to M13, Council Communications, Councilman Rab.

407
00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:46,990
Yes.

408
00:37:47,070 --> 00:37:47,610
Thank you, Mayor Vargas.

409
00:37:48,070 --> 00:37:51,150
If you want to give us a shout out to staff in our parks committee, I noticed a lot of

410
00:37:51,150 --> 00:37:54,970
the utility boxes that have been decorated around the city,

411
00:37:55,010 --> 00:37:56,190
and I just throughout the city,

412
00:37:56,250 --> 00:37:57,830
even as far south as the Hunt Club.

413
00:37:58,050 --> 00:37:59,090
So when I go on my walks,

414
00:37:59,090 --> 00:38:01,930
it's really been a pleasure seeing the different utility boxes

415
00:38:01,930 --> 00:38:02,490
and the variety.

416
00:38:02,750 --> 00:38:04,030
So I just want to give a shout out to staff,

417
00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:06,510
the artists and our parks committee for doing that.

418
00:38:06,830 --> 00:38:08,630
I just want a quick request.

419
00:38:09,110 --> 00:38:10,130
If we can bring back,

420
00:38:10,350 --> 00:38:12,230
I brought this up a while back,

421
00:38:12,390 --> 00:38:14,250
and we reviewed it at the Ways and Means Committee.

422
00:38:14,670 --> 00:38:16,470
If we can bring back the per diem,

423
00:38:17,010 --> 00:38:19,190
the revisions for the full council to discuss,

424
00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:24,910
us either at the 29th meeting, September 29th meeting, October 14th meeting, depending on

425
00:38:24,910 --> 00:38:28,690
the time frame, either one is amenable. So I think we should bring that back and we should

426
00:38:28,690 --> 00:38:34,110
also look into it, expanding it for staff as well. So that's just my only request. And I

427
00:38:34,110 --> 00:38:39,090
just hope everyone has a happy Labor Day and I say falls we enter into the fall season. Thank you.

428
00:38:39,550 --> 00:38:44,990
Thank you. Council Member Leho. Thank you, Mayor. I'm just going to keep it short. I just want

429
00:38:44,990 --> 00:38:48,890
I want to say that I went to the YC Open Mic night last Friday.

430
00:38:49,630 --> 00:38:51,310
Staff is doing really good there.

431
00:38:51,710 --> 00:38:53,190
The kids are always happy there.

432
00:38:53,810 --> 00:38:55,990
We have some really amazing students, singers.

433
00:38:56,450 --> 00:38:57,330
It was karaoke night.

434
00:38:57,430 --> 00:39:00,350
I did not see them because they just did so well.

435
00:39:00,490 --> 00:39:01,370
I would look very bad.

436
00:39:01,670 --> 00:39:06,150
So I just want to say thank you for staff because they are doing really good with those kids.

437
00:39:06,890 --> 00:39:11,710
And then lastly, I just want to wish everyone a happy Labor Day.

438
00:39:11,710 --> 00:39:14,010
and then I hope everyone's ready to go back to work,

439
00:39:14,350 --> 00:39:17,050
back to school, but if you guys need a mental day,

440
00:39:17,390 --> 00:39:18,890
take it off, just so I know.

441
00:39:19,150 --> 00:39:19,550
Thank you guys.

442
00:39:20,190 --> 00:39:20,750
Thank you.

443
00:39:21,070 --> 00:39:21,710
Councilwoman Abba.

444
00:39:22,230 --> 00:39:22,790
Thank you, Mayor.

445
00:39:22,990 --> 00:39:25,190
I'd also like to comment on the utility boxes.

446
00:39:25,410 --> 00:39:27,410
I'd like to thank staff and everyone involved

447
00:39:27,410 --> 00:39:28,530
for putting that together.

448
00:39:28,650 --> 00:39:30,170
They're a great addition to our city,

449
00:39:30,330 --> 00:39:32,570
and I know our beautification committee members

450
00:39:32,570 --> 00:39:36,030
would love to talk about that and chime in on that.

451
00:39:36,710 --> 00:39:39,750
And I also have the honor of serving on the RTA board,

452
00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:41,290
and I just like to remind the public

453
00:39:41,290 --> 00:39:49,270
that they have continued their youth ridership program, which in the youth age 18 and under are able to ride the RTA for free.

454
00:39:49,570 --> 00:39:50,990
Those are all my comments for tonight.

455
00:39:51,110 --> 00:39:51,450
Thank you.

456
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:54,090
Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem.

457
00:39:54,510 --> 00:39:54,850
Thank you, Mayor.

458
00:39:55,990 --> 00:39:59,910
You know, I know the election season is upon us, I'm not going to talk about it, you can.

459
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:29,080
This year, but I know how emotions can increase. I know I, you know, I do personally know because I've been in several elections myself, but I do want to remind everybody that elections don't have to be nasty, especially here in the city of Paris. Supporters of candidates can support their candidate without having to trash talk another candidate. There are plenty of doors knock on spaces to put place signs and ways to get your message across. So everyone has their first amendment right, but you know, please, please, please try to refrain from coming here every two years

460
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,720
and trash talking on candidates.

461
00:40:31,780 --> 00:40:36,640
I want to take the sheriff's department for placing more cycle PD near Granny Hill's

462
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,100
TK through 8 on 8 on 8 on 8.

463
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,080
I've seen too many cars go through the stop sign.

464
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,720
As a crossing guard is still in the crosswalk.

465
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:48,840
So just to remind her to all drivers, you're not allowed to go until everyone is out of the

466
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:53,980
crosswalk, even if they appear to be safely out of the way, the safety of everyone relies

467
00:40:53,980 --> 00:40:56,160
on all of us, especially the safety of our youngest.

468
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,740
So I hope this enforcement can continue all around the city.

469
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:02,040
So thank you to the Sheriff's Department.

470
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,240
And the utility boxes, I do want to commend those that were involved in it.

471
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:10,020
You know, for the people who placed them, they did a phenomenal job.

472
00:41:10,380 --> 00:41:13,660
I know Councilman Radley said that it goes as far south as the Hunk Club.

473
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,580
But down over there by the Monument Ranch area, you know, they're way over there too.

474
00:41:18,740 --> 00:41:19,060
They look good.

475
00:41:19,460 --> 00:41:19,800
They look good.

476
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,640
I know our city clerk has seen them too, but and all around the city.

477
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,340
So the purpose of this, you know, we had them in downtown and the people in downtown

478
00:41:28,340 --> 00:41:32,300
got the CML and benefit, but now we want to spread out the beauty to everywhere else.

479
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:32,760
But great job.

480
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:33,160
Thank you.

481
00:41:34,060 --> 00:41:35,980
Yeah, they're reaching the north end too.

482
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,520
You know, a lot of comments from community members they really like and they really do look

483
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:39,760
sharp.

484
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:46,580
Some of these ideas came out really nice on the work and the rap, that's pretty amazing how

485
00:41:46,580 --> 00:41:47,480
they can rap it really.

486
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,840
And that was the fact one person commented, well, you guys are really painting as well as

487
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:50,940
that.

488
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:51,900
Not me.

489
00:41:52,020 --> 00:41:52,380
It's not me.

490
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:57,320
I just have one additional comment separate from everybody.

491
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,100
I didn't make it to the Paris Valley Philpino American Association Family Sports Fest.

492
00:42:02,260 --> 00:42:06,500
They have here annually in the gym, besides working out.

493
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,380
That's a great lunch, having that Filipino food.

494
00:42:11,060 --> 00:42:14,620
All right, with that, when we move on to item 14, City Manager's report.

495
00:42:15,460 --> 00:42:16,040
Thank you, Mayor.

496
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:16,580
Good evening.

497
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:22,260
I'd like to announce that the city is having the annual end of summer splash on Friday September 11.

498
00:42:22,260 --> 00:42:25,220
from 5.30 to 9 p.m. at Enchanted Hills Park.

499
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,360
There will be food vendors, life performances,

500
00:42:28,820 --> 00:42:31,100
raffles, and a tight pool tank.

501
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:33,600

502
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,200
Thank you.

503
00:42:34,740 --> 00:42:35,400
Very good.

504
00:42:35,740 --> 00:42:37,480
OK, item 15 is our German.

505
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:37,940
