Where we're we're gonna be discussing a public information campaign.

88
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:13,000
Especially since

01:33:14,433 --> 01:33:16,333
Berkeley has initiated the zone zero.

90
01:33:17,667 --> 01:33:21,900
Policy ahead of what the state is proposing. So we

91
01:33:21,900 --> 01:33:25,133
wanna get ahead of, you know, what that means for

92
01:33:25,233 --> 01:33:28,033
homeowners within the high fire severity zone.

93
01:33:29,734 --> 01:33:33,367
I also serve as a board member of Ericks and.

94
01:33:35,500 --> 01:33:36,100
We have

95
01:33:37,133 --> 01:33:41,367
considered adopting a resolution, authorizing the board chair to sign

96
01:33:41,500 --> 01:33:43,166

Application to acquire two new radio sites on wheels.

01:33:51,066 --> 01:33:51,900
And those are

100
01:33:53,333 --> 01:33:55,333
sites in case there is, you know, a major.

101
01:33:56,166 --> 01:33:59,000
Emergency earthquake wildfire, where

102
01:34:00,333 --> 01:34:03,266
a site is taken out of commission that if we

103
01:34:03,266 --> 01:34:03,567
have.

104
01:34:04,634 --> 01:34:07,533
You know, these radio sites on wheels, they could be

105
01:34:07,533 --> 01:34:10,066
deployed to where there's a, a problem.

106
01:34:11,233 --> 01:34:14,100

that contract for the restoration is 2.3 million.

120
01:35:00,100 --> 01:35:03,300
I also attended the mayor's conference last week, where we

121
01:35:03,300 --> 01:35:04,166

122
01:35:05,133 --> 01:35:08,066

And we went over quite a bit of bills that

134
01:35:39,767 --> 01:35:42,033
we recommended positions for. I'm not gonna go over all

135
01:35:42,033 --> 01:35:45,033

One of them being the election of a secondary alternate

01:36:11,634 --> 01:36:14,834
representative for CCTA. So I just want to congratulate our

145
01:36:14,834 --> 01:36:19,033
colleague says there's Zeda from Richmond who won that appointment.

146
01:36:20,033 --> 01:36:22,634
Look forward to seeing him serve on that committee.

147
01:36:23,433 --> 01:36:26,000
We also went over a, a Richmond ferry service update

148

01:36:28,166 --> 01:36:30,667
And so was being proposed as a 6% fair increase

150
01:36:30,700 --> 01:36:33,100
for fiscal year 2027 for the Richmond route.

151
01:36:34,033 --> 01:36:36,667
And, and a lot more updates on things like parking.

152
01:36:37,533 --> 01:36:40,567
For ferry as well, and also very, very.

153
01:36:42,233 --> 01:36:45,767
Proud to see Pinole given update at the same meeting,

154
01:36:46,166 --> 01:36:48,667
big shoutout to, and thank you to director El Wendy

155
01:36:48,700 --> 01:36:50,033
from public works department.

156
01:36:51,066 --> 01:36:52,734
Gave a project update to the WIC TAC.

157
01:36:53,533 --> 01:36:56,100
Commission on two projects that we have right now, which

158
01:36:56,100 --> 01:36:58,000
is the bay trail gap closure project.

159
01:36:59,066 --> 01:37:01,133
And the San pebble avenue bridge project, both very important.

160
01:37:02,100 --> 01:37:04,133
Some feedback that I gave on that commission. I'll start

161
01:37:04,133 --> 01:37:05,634
with the Senate avenue bridge project.

162
01:37:06,667 --> 01:37:08,667
Is very pleased to see that we're gonna have class

163
01:37:08,700 --> 01:37:10,033
four protected bike lanes.

164
01:37:10,900 --> 01:37:12,033
As a part of that project.

165
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,667
Wanna make sure that we have input at some point

166
01:37:15,667 --> 01:37:17,634
as a council to on the design of that.

167
01:37:18,634 --> 01:37:21,033
The lane design, just to make sure that when we

168
01:37:21,033 --> 01:37:23,900
do have potato bike lanes, we actually have fiscal barriers,

169
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:24,333
not just.

170
01:37:25,133 --> 01:37:28,734
Flexible Ballards but also something like raised curbs to make

171
01:37:28,734 --> 01:37:32,100
sure that we protect both bicyclists and pedestrians on that

172
01:37:32,333 --> 01:37:33,100
specific part of.

173
01:37:33,900 --> 01:37:38,066
That bridge, which historically, and currently right now we don't

174
01:37:38,066 --> 01:37:39,066
have great protection.

175
01:37:40,033 --> 01:37:42,533
Or accessibility for pedestrians or bicyclists on that bridge.

176
01:37:43,467 --> 01:37:47,100
On the bay trail gap closure project. Just very happy

177
01:37:47,100 --> 01:37:48,100
that it's moving forward.

178
01:37:49,066 --> 01:37:51,133
You know, during the pandemic, I used to bike a

179
01:37:51,133 --> 01:37:55,266
lot on our bay trail and, and my brother actually

180
01:37:55,266 --> 01:37:59,033
got injured on that specific part. Where, of the bay

181
01:37:59,033 --> 01:38:03,033
trail gap, foreclosure project on the sediment there, the, the

182
01:38:03,033 --> 01:38:06,100
gravel is not in safe conditions right now for our

183
01:38:06,100 --> 01:38:06,567
bicyclists.

184
01:38:07,066 --> 01:38:08,533
Bicyclists and so really proud that we're gonna be moving

185
01:38:08,533 --> 01:38:09,100
forward with that.

186
01:38:10,100 --> 01:38:11,900
Those are my updates. Thanks mayor. Okay.

187
01:38:13,133 --> 01:38:16,066
Thank you. Council member Sai council member Martinez, Ruben.

188
01:38:17,634 --> 01:38:20,667
Oh, since we last met, I attended two events that

189
01:38:20,667 --> 01:38:22,567
were quite interesting. One of them was.

190
01:38:23,433 --> 01:38:27,033
Held the weekend of March 28th, it was sponsored by the

191
01:38:27,033 --> 01:38:29,000
water education for Latino leaders.

192
01:38:29,900 --> 01:38:32,367
Organization. It was a statewide annual conference.

193
01:38:33,333 --> 01:38:37,000
In Friant, California, which is in Fresno or near Fresno

194
01:38:37,367 --> 01:38:37,734
area.

195
01:38:38,533 --> 01:38:41,100
And there were a number of researchers.

196
01:38:43,066 --> 01:38:45,367
Advocates representatives from water districts.

197
01:38:46,467 --> 01:38:49,867
Districts and others who just talked, give a number of,

198
01:38:49,867 --> 01:38:51,000
of presentations.

199
01:38:52,033 --> 01:38:54,100
Essentially informing and

200
01:38:55,066 --> 01:38:58,533
building our awareness of issues having to do with the

201
01:38:58,533 --> 01:39:00,066
way water is used.

202
01:39:01,033 --> 01:39:05,066
Its origins, whether it's groundwater or water from aquifers or.

203
01:39:08,934 --> 01:39:10,066
Ground or surface water.

204
01:39:11,066 --> 01:39:12,533
And they also touched on.

205
01:39:13,734 --> 01:39:15,066
Issues that affect.

206
01:39:16,033 --> 01:39:18,767
Infrastructure and how our aging infrastructure throughout the state of

207
01:39:18,767 --> 01:39:19,166
California.

208
01:39:20,533 --> 01:39:23,734
Has is, is in a, at a point of, of,

209
01:39:23,867 --> 01:39:24,667
of needing to have.

210
01:39:25,533 --> 01:39:27,066
You know, a lot number of repairs.

211
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:31,066
Repairs and affecting the overall rates of water that are

212
01:39:31,567 --> 01:39:33,000
essentially felt by.

213
01:39:33,900 --> 01:39:36,300
People in urban areas and one fun fact, and I

214
01:39:36,300 --> 01:39:37,433
hope I don't. I get this correct.

215
01:39:38,300 --> 01:39:41,634
Is that of the available water in California? 10% is

216
01:39:41,634 --> 01:39:42,533
used by urbanites.

217
01:39:43,433 --> 01:39:47,033
Urbanites. And about 78 to 80% is used in agricultural

218
01:39:47,033 --> 01:39:47,367
fields.

219
01:39:48,166 --> 01:39:51,033
Which is quite unlike what people might think. And yet

220
01:39:51,100 --> 01:39:52,133
urbanites end up.

221
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:56,433
Paying more, oh, well in their rates because of how

222
01:39:56,433 --> 01:39:59,133
water is delivered and what it takes to, to get

223
01:39:59,133 --> 01:40:00,033
it to our taps.

224
01:40:01,133 --> 01:40:03,066
Taps. They also talked about strategies.

225
01:40:04,033 --> 01:40:05,266
That are used, whether it's.

226
01:40:06,100 --> 01:40:08,634
It's and considerations which have to be made and locally,

227
01:40:09,033 --> 01:40:12,166
we also think about some of these with our.

228
01:40:13,133 --> 01:40:15,433
Wastewater treatment plan, for example, which is altogether a different

229
01:40:15,433 --> 01:40:19,000
kind of system. But nonetheless, it's a question of whether

230
01:40:19,166 --> 01:40:22,266
we manage by demand or use or whether we damage.

231
01:40:23,533 --> 01:40:24,000
By building.

232
01:40:25,700 --> 01:40:29,033
Infrastructure. And so that's an ongoing issue throughout the state

233
01:40:29,667 --> 01:40:32,900
and, and something that, that to be considered.

234
01:40:33,700 --> 01:40:35,767
Something that a new word that I learned.

235
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:38,166
Land subsidence.

236
01:40:39,066 --> 01:40:41,634
Which may affect some of our buildings and probably a

237
01:40:42,033 --> 01:40:44,033
consideration already by our public work staff.

238
01:40:44,934 --> 01:40:48,133
And staff at the water treatment plant because we're in

239
01:40:48,133 --> 01:40:50,000
an area that is subject to flooding.

240
01:40:51,066 --> 01:40:53,767
And also given the state of, or the age of

241
01:40:53,767 --> 01:40:56,433
our treatment plant might, might be a consideration. So that's

242
01:40:56,433 --> 01:40:58,100
a question that I have now.

243
01:40:59,066 --> 01:41:02,567
Come come with after attending this conference.

244
01:41:03,433 --> 01:41:05,500
So that our public work staff can, you know, consider

245
01:41:05,700 --> 01:41:07,033
some of that and how it might affect.

246
01:41:08,033 --> 01:41:11,100
Pinole or not. The other event that I attended was

247
01:41:11,100 --> 01:41:13,900
the Contra Costa mayor's conference held on April 2nd and it's

248
01:41:13,900 --> 01:41:15,000
sponsored by city of Concord.

249
01:41:16,033 --> 01:41:18,367
Concord. And there we heard presentation by the director of

250
01:41:18,367 --> 01:41:21,266
the south bay coalition to end human trafficking.

251
01:41:22,433 --> 01:41:23,900
And how they have

252
01:41:24,934 --> 01:41:27,533
responded or are responding in our requesting assistance.

253
01:41:28,367 --> 01:41:29,867
From everyone.

254
01:41:31,667 --> 01:41:34,500
Government and otherwise as well, just simply members of the

255
01:41:34,500 --> 01:41:34,734
public.

256
01:41:35,834 --> 01:41:39,000
To end human trafficking, which not only touches upon sexual

257
01:41:39,300 --> 01:41:40,667
trafficking, but also trafficking.

258
01:41:41,533 --> 01:41:42,667
For abuse in labor.

259
01:41:43,934 --> 01:41:46,533
And now that the world cup games will be coming

260
01:41:46,533 --> 01:41:49,634
to Santa to the Santa Clara area in June. It's

261
01:41:49,734 --> 01:41:53,066
a consideration that some of the trafficking it.

262
01:41:54,100 --> 01:41:56,433
That kind of the venues and those kinds of events

263
01:41:56,433 --> 01:41:59,900
present an opportunity for increased rates of trafficking. One of

264
01:41:59,900 --> 01:42:02,100
the campaigns that they have is to.

265
01:42:03,233 --> 01:42:03,266
Have

266
01:42:05,533 --> 01:42:08,033
these little stickers that can be posted on the

267
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,567
backs of bathrooms in other public locations.

268
01:42:11,634 --> 01:42:15,300
Locations with a QR code. So that persons who might

269
01:42:15,300 --> 01:42:17,734
feel that they need help could can call.

270
01:42:19,266 --> 01:42:21,100
The resources near, near them.

271
01:42:21,900 --> 01:42:23,066
And these are available in multiple languages.

272
01:42:24,367 --> 01:42:27,300
Languages. So, yep. That's something that, that we heard from.

273
01:42:28,166 --> 01:42:31,533
Council member Toms. Did, did I address what you had.

274
01:42:32,867 --> 01:42:36,133

275
01:42:36,133 --> 01:42:39,266
both there at, at the mayor's conference. That's it for

276
01:42:39,266 --> 01:42:39,433
now?

277
01:42:40,367 --> 01:42:44,133
Fantastic. Thank you. Okay, so let's move on to.

278
01:42:45,900 --> 01:42:47,300
Counsel request for future agenda items.

279
01:42:48,634 --> 01:42:51,567

284
01:43:03,767 --> 01:43:06,066
is established is a housing leadership designation.

285
01:43:06,667 --> 01:43:10,000
To recognize and reward cities and counties that have achieved.

286
01:43:10,867 --> 01:43:13,100
Achieved measurable success in building new homes. And also that

287
01:43:13,133 --> 01:43:16,166
staff note in our resolution and letter of support, the

288
01:43:16,166 --> 01:43:18,266
fact that the city Pinole was amongst among the first

289
01:43:18,300 --> 01:43:20,867
few cities in California to earn the pro housing designation.

290
01:43:29,533 --> 01:43:30,100
Madam. I'm good.

291
01:43:32,333 --> 01:43:33,500

My request is to have staff.

313
01:44:42,033 --> 01:44:45,634
Research the availability of these little stickers so that they

314
01:44:45,634 --> 01:44:48,100
can possibly be applied to the public.

315
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:51,867
Restrooms that we have here in the city and other

316
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:52,133
locations.

317
01:44:53,133 --> 01:44:56,066
Locations so that the city can support the campaign.

318
01:44:57,133 --> 01:44:58,667
That safety for the bay has.

319
01:44:59,634 --> 01:45:02,867
Regarding the prevention and, and resource assistance.

320
01:45:03,834 --> 01:45:07,667
To persons that are at risk or are being trafficked.

321
01:45:08,066 --> 01:45:08,634
I'll second that.

322
01:45:11,533 --> 01:45:11,867
Okay.

323
01:45:12,767 --> 01:45:15,266

01:45:24,033 --> 01:45:27,300
All right, moving on to item seven E city manager

328
01:45:27,433 --> 01:45:31,066
report, interim city manager, please. Thank you very much, Mr.

329
01:45:31,066 --> 01:45:32,300
Mayor and members of the council.

330
01:45:33,433 --> 01:45:37,433
As the clerk said, staff will be requesting item nine

331
01:45:37,567 --> 01:45:39,734
C be pulled from the agenda and will return at

332
01:45:39,734 --> 01:45:42,166
a future date. Otherwise, no other comments from the city

333
01:45:42,166 --> 01:45:42,500
manager.

334
01:45:43,433 --> 01:45:45,533
Okay, thank you. Interim city manager.

335
01:45:46,300 --> 01:45:49,000
Will go to item seven F city attorney report.

336
01:45:49,900 --> 01:45:51,567
Thank you mayor. Tave nothing to report at this time.

337
01:45:52,433 --> 01:45:54,834
Okay. So what we're gonna do is jump.

338
01:45:55,634 --> 01:45:56,767
Back to citizens to be heard.

339
01:45:58,100 --> 01:46:01,300
Well, six 30. I mean, , I think proclamations will

340
01:46:01,500 --> 01:46:02,500
probably take us a little bit longer.

341
01:46:03,233 --> 01:46:06,033
So we'll jump to citizens to be hurt.

342
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:09,734
So Madam clerk, if you could that's item six.

343
01:46:11,834 --> 01:46:12,000
Okay.

344
01:46:18,934 --> 01:46:23,000
We have Peter Murray followed by Debbie long and followed by

345
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:23,767
William Horton.

346
01:46:37,100 --> 01:46:37,433
I thought

347
01:46:55,934 --> 01:46:57,634
getting older have to have these.

348
01:47:06,467 --> 01:47:07,567
Good evening, Mr. Mayor.

349
01:47:08,567 --> 01:47:09,734
Council members, staff.

350
01:47:10,867 --> 01:47:12,433
Appreciate the opportunity to speak tonight.

351
01:47:13,900 --> 01:47:15,033
First thing I'll say is.

352
01:47:16,166 --> 01:47:18,166
Everybody out there in Pinole land.

353
01:47:19,066 --> 01:47:19,834
Vote, no on measure D.

354
01:47:22,567 --> 01:47:24,066
It's not something that's in your best.

355
01:47:25,667 --> 01:47:26,033
Interests.

356
01:47:28,367 --> 01:47:30,066
I got a call today who knew was about.

357
01:47:31,500 --> 01:47:32,567
One of our elderly.

358
01:47:33,533 --> 01:47:36,867
Folks that has to commute and travel around town in

359
01:47:36,900 --> 01:47:37,066
a.

360
01:47:38,100 --> 01:47:38,100
Medical

361
01:47:40,567 --> 01:47:42,333
what do you want scooter? And.

362
01:47:43,834 --> 01:47:47,834
He said that the bridge behind trader Joe's between.

363
01:47:48,567 --> 01:47:51,867
Two Sarah drive is in such bad shape that he

364
01:47:51,867 --> 01:47:54,667
thought he was gonna have his brains fall out today.

365
01:47:54,700 --> 01:47:55,033
And that.

366
01:47:56,033 --> 01:47:59,033
He's anticipating that if he has to travel on that,

367
01:48:00,100 --> 01:48:02,900
for any length of time, he's gonna find a scooter.

368
01:48:04,033 --> 01:48:07,166
In pieces. So I just wanted to relay that to

369
01:48:07,166 --> 01:48:09,266
you. And then maybe somebody from public works can get

370
01:48:09,266 --> 01:48:11,033
out there and, and check that out.

371
01:48:12,133 --> 01:48:14,300
It's it's been, this is.

372
01:48:15,066 --> 01:48:17,533
Occurred in the past as well. And we've repaired it,

373
01:48:17,700 --> 01:48:18,000
but.

374
01:48:19,066 --> 01:48:21,066
I think in, in the interest of, you know, helping

375
01:48:21,100 --> 01:48:21,834
our handicap.

376
01:48:22,867 --> 01:48:24,667
Individuals in town, it would be a good thing to

377
01:48:24,667 --> 01:48:25,000
look at.

378
01:48:27,767 --> 01:48:29,433
Then I wanted to ask the city attorney.

379
01:48:30,467 --> 01:48:31,834
If a council member

380
01:48:35,567 --> 01:48:38,567
puts out something detrimental to a citizen.

381
01:48:42,300 --> 01:48:44,900
Does the citizen have the right to Sue the city

382
01:48:44,900 --> 01:48:46,567
sitting city council member.

383
01:48:48,033 --> 01:48:48,300
And

384
01:48:50,100 --> 01:48:52,567
my point was, is that sometimes I think people think

385
01:48:52,567 --> 01:48:55,066
because of their situation that they can't Sue.

386
01:48:56,000 --> 01:48:57,166
They can say things about other people.

387
01:48:58,500 --> 01:49:00,734
You know, that are in the public public persons.

388
01:49:01,900 --> 01:49:04,900
Persons they're vulnerable. I'm asking, are they vulnerable to be

389
01:49:05,033 --> 01:49:05,133
sued?

390
01:49:06,100 --> 01:49:08,066
And you can gimme that after the fact.

391
01:49:08,934 --> 01:49:10,867
But because I have a couple more things to talk

392
01:49:10,867 --> 01:49:11,767
about and I don't want to get.

393
01:49:12,767 --> 01:49:13,266
Tied up with that.

394
01:49:26,567 --> 01:49:26,900
Okay.

395
01:49:31,467 --> 01:49:32,767
Oh, that was like, I guess.

396
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:37,000
The gist of it, getting that thing taken care of

397
01:49:37,100 --> 01:49:37,567
for the.

398
01:49:38,667 --> 01:49:39,834
The handicap and

399
01:49:43,367 --> 01:49:45,100
setting council number, right.

400
01:49:48,033 --> 01:49:50,033
Oh, and, and I just wanna say, you know, I,

401
01:49:50,066 --> 01:49:52,300
I, I kind of see glimpses of things from the

402
01:49:52,300 --> 01:49:52,634
past.

403
01:49:53,700 --> 01:49:54,667
Going on in Pinole right now.

404
01:49:56,033 --> 01:49:56,767
In particular.

405
01:49:59,166 --> 01:50:02,567
Kind of the task tactics that were used back in

406
01:50:03,100 --> 01:50:04,066
say 2008.

407
01:50:05,133 --> 01:50:07,634
Where you fire the city manager, create chaos.

408
01:50:08,433 --> 01:50:11,567
And just push that thought, please.

409
01:50:12,567 --> 01:50:14,767
Thank you speeder. Just wrap, wrap up the call, wrap

410
01:50:14,767 --> 01:50:15,667
it right up. Go ahead.

411
01:50:17,133 --> 01:50:19,367
And then we have chaos in the community and then

412
01:50:19,367 --> 01:50:21,433
things get thrown out there. And I'm saying that like,

413
01:50:21,533 --> 01:50:22,667
measure D now.

414
01:50:23,433 --> 01:50:25,734
We've got chaos. Two city managers.

415
01:50:27,066 --> 01:50:28,000
Managers have gone by the wayside.

416
01:50:29,133 --> 01:50:32,100
And I think it's inappropriate time to do, to pull

417
01:50:32,100 --> 01:50:33,900
these kind of things out of the hat.

418
01:50:34,667 --> 01:50:36,300
And then drop 'em on the community. Thank you, speaker.

419
01:50:37,533 --> 01:50:39,300
Next speaker, please. Debbie long.

420
01:50:43,166 --> 01:50:44,567
Good evening, mayor and counsel.

421
01:50:45,533 --> 01:50:48,066
And I wanted to make sure my comments are directed

422
01:50:48,066 --> 01:50:48,867
through the mayor.

423
01:50:50,033 --> 01:50:52,333
ESP at a special meeting two weeks ago during the

424
01:50:52,333 --> 01:50:56,266
discussion about commercial cannabis mayor pro Tim Murphy said, and

425
01:50:56,266 --> 01:50:59,367
I quote, we need to educate people who have held

426
01:50:59,500 --> 01:51:01,033
power in the city before.

427
01:51:01,900 --> 01:51:04,066
There were three things I took away from this comment.

428
01:51:04,300 --> 01:51:07,300
First, he was referencing the previous mayors in the audience,

429
01:51:07,467 --> 01:51:10,567
which he confirmed. And two, what he meant by this

430
01:51:10,567 --> 01:51:13,634
statement was, let me educate you because I'm right. And

431
01:51:13,634 --> 01:51:16,567
three, most importantly were, was his use of the word

432
01:51:16,767 --> 01:51:17,033
power.

433
01:51:18,100 --> 01:51:21,000
Unfortunately, because of his role as a Councilman, he feels

434
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:22,367
he has power over the people.

435
01:51:23,233 --> 01:51:25,300
This is sad because the primary role of a council

436
01:51:25,300 --> 01:51:25,734
person.

437
01:51:26,467 --> 01:51:28,033
Is their role of serving the community.

438
01:51:28,767 --> 01:51:31,533
Not acting like the all powerful wizard of Oz, which

439
01:51:31,533 --> 01:51:33,667
leads me directly as another reason you should.

440
01:51:34,467 --> 01:51:37,634
Vote, no on measure D the elected mayor, Devin Murphy

441
01:51:37,700 --> 01:51:39,066
claims. This is a choice.

442
01:51:40,033 --> 01:51:42,634
As measure D the elected mayor.

443
01:51:43,433 --> 01:51:46,066
Devin Murphy claims. This is a choice and democracy is

444
01:51:46,066 --> 01:51:49,033
at play when it is really about being more powerful

445
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:51,834
in a greater leadership role within the city, he has

446
01:51:51,834 --> 01:51:54,500
never quantified how an elected mayor will serve the community

447
01:51:54,500 --> 01:51:57,100
better than the current system of Rhode rotating mayor. Other

448
01:51:57,100 --> 01:51:59,767
than to declare that there would be more accountability to

449
01:51:59,767 --> 01:52:01,367
the public and the elected mayor would.

450
01:52:01,700 --> 01:52:03,333
Be directly responsible for projects.

451
01:52:04,567 --> 01:52:06,367
Projects. How could that be when he has declared on

452
01:52:06,367 --> 01:52:07,066
next door?

453
01:52:07,834 --> 01:52:09,900
That he would have no more power. There's the word

454
01:52:09,900 --> 01:52:10,100
again?

455
01:52:11,066 --> 01:52:12,166
Then any other council member.

456
01:52:13,133 --> 01:52:15,300
People don't be fooled. This is all about a power

457
01:52:15,333 --> 01:52:18,367
grab. And while it will be whitewash going in all

458
01:52:18,834 --> 01:52:20,133
responsibilities, power and salary.

459
01:52:21,133 --> 01:52:24,000
Can be given over and increased with the majority vote

460
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:24,500
of the council.

461
01:52:25,333 --> 01:52:26,433
Just like what took place.

462
01:52:27,634 --> 01:52:31,033
In wasting 55,000 plus staff time by putting measure D

463
01:52:31,100 --> 01:52:31,734
on the ballot.

464
01:52:32,767 --> 01:52:34,100
Vote. No on measure D thank you.

465
01:52:35,066 --> 01:52:37,834
Thank you. Speaker next speaker, please. William Horton.

466
01:52:39,367 --> 01:52:41,033
Followed by Jennifer Horn.

467
01:52:45,033 --> 01:52:48,533
Mayor and counsel, my name is William Horton and I'm a

468
01:52:48,533 --> 01:52:49,066
Pinole voter.

469
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:52,266
I speak against Pinole measure D tonight.

470
01:52:53,133 --> 01:52:54,667
This directly elected mayor.

471
01:52:55,433 --> 01:52:57,567
Is an unnecessary waste of 55,000.

472
01:52:58,667 --> 01:53:01,834
That money is money that will not enhance our police,

473
01:53:02,133 --> 01:53:03,900
fire parks or streets.

474
01:53:05,233 --> 01:53:09,500
Measure D will not guarantee any new budget funds or

475
01:53:09,533 --> 01:53:10,100
new ideas.

476
01:53:11,066 --> 01:53:14,500
Ideas measure D apparently does not limit the future cost

477
01:53:14,500 --> 01:53:15,533
of the mayor's salary.

478
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:20,066
Measured. He apparently does not specify term limits.

479
01:53:21,133 --> 01:53:22,433
Limits which council members have already.

480
01:53:23,233 --> 01:53:24,000
Had 12 years.

481
01:53:25,533 --> 01:53:27,900
I was opposed to term limits in 2018.

482
01:53:28,767 --> 01:53:31,634
However I am in favor of council and mayor term

483
01:53:31,634 --> 01:53:31,900
limits.

484
01:53:32,934 --> 01:53:36,033
Limits now that I learned at lost council meeting March 31st.

485
01:53:37,133 --> 01:53:39,333
At the city has a deficit of over $3 million.

486
01:53:40,634 --> 01:53:43,266
Through the mayor. I would like the city attorney to

487
01:53:43,266 --> 01:53:43,667
clarify.

488
01:53:44,767 --> 01:53:47,066
If the director directly elected mayor.

489
01:53:48,033 --> 01:53:50,266
Is subject to term limits. Yes or no.

490
01:53:51,066 --> 01:53:52,734
Good evening. Thank you, speaker.

491
01:53:53,700 --> 01:53:54,000
Next speaker, please.

492
01:53:56,667 --> 01:53:57,033
Jennifer Horn.

493
01:54:09,033 --> 01:54:12,300
Good evening, mayor prote, council members, staff, and the public.

494
01:54:13,133 --> 01:54:15,066
I'm here to talk about measure D which will be

495
01:54:15,066 --> 01:54:18,533
on the ballot in the June 2nd, 2026 election.

496
01:54:19,634 --> 01:54:20,567
The public will soon be seeing.

497
01:54:21,900 --> 01:54:24,266
No OND signs throughout the city. They look like this,

498
01:54:24,700 --> 01:54:25,166
but they're bigger.

499
01:54:26,300 --> 01:54:28,100
I will be voting. No. And I'd like to explain

500
01:54:28,100 --> 01:54:29,166
the reason for my no vote.

501
01:54:30,100 --> 01:54:33,433
On this measure, measure D changes the governance structure of

502
01:54:33,433 --> 01:54:36,533
the city of Pinole from a rotating mayor structure to

503
01:54:36,533 --> 01:54:37,767
an elected mayor structure.

504
01:54:38,867 --> 01:54:40,367
Is there a need for this change?

505
01:54:41,333 --> 01:54:42,734
None that I have heard.

506
01:54:43,634 --> 01:54:45,500
That would persuade me to vote. Yes.

507
01:54:46,467 --> 01:54:48,767
I've heard that the current structure is archaic.

508
01:54:49,700 --> 01:54:51,734
But in the words of a recent next door poster.

509
01:54:52,567 --> 01:54:55,000
Labeling something archaic. Doesn't make it true.

510
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:59,433
I've also heard that it isn't about replacing the voter's

511
01:54:59,433 --> 01:54:59,767
voice.

512
01:55:00,567 --> 01:55:02,500
But I'm not sure about that rationale either.

513
01:55:03,433 --> 01:55:06,033
Three council members voted to place this measure on the

514
01:55:06,033 --> 01:55:06,166
ballot.

515
01:55:07,233 --> 01:55:09,667
Despite the unanimous opinion of Pinole voters.

516
01:55:10,467 --> 01:55:13,900
Who had raised their voices to say, no, don't spend

517
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,100
$57,000 to do that.

518
01:55:17,133 --> 01:55:20,300
Sure sounds like replacing the loiters the voter's voice to

519
01:55:20,300 --> 01:55:20,500
me.

520
01:55:21,367 --> 01:55:24,433
I've also heard that Pinole voters would have an expanded

521
01:55:24,467 --> 01:55:28,033
voice with an elected mayor as opposed to an appointed

522
01:55:28,033 --> 01:55:28,100
mayor.

523
01:55:29,133 --> 01:55:31,867
Because an elected mayor's authority stems from an election.

524
01:55:32,934 --> 01:55:34,066
Rather than an appointment.

525
01:55:35,066 --> 01:55:38,834
What don't Pinole voters elect the city council members who

526
01:55:38,834 --> 01:55:40,667
are eventually appointed mayor.

527
01:55:41,533 --> 01:55:44,533
If anything under the current structure, our mayors have even

528
01:55:44,533 --> 01:55:45,767
greater authority. No.

529
01:55:46,667 --> 01:55:48,066
They are both elected.

530
01:55:49,133 --> 01:55:52,333
And appointed. They make no sense. These arguments.

531
01:55:53,333 --> 01:55:56,100
Arguments, certainly not enough to justify a wholesale change in

532
01:55:56,100 --> 01:55:58,266
a governance structure that has been in place over a

533
01:55:58,266 --> 01:55:59,000
hundred years.

534
01:55:59,834 --> 01:56:01,867
That the vast majority of California cities employ.

535
01:56:02,667 --> 01:56:04,834
City's employ and that Pinole voters know and have no

536
01:56:04,834 --> 01:56:05,367
problem with.

537
01:56:06,467 --> 01:56:09,066
That was brought home to me by the results of

538
01:56:09,066 --> 01:56:10,834
a recent survey of Pinole voters.

539
01:56:11,767 --> 01:56:15,166
Where governance structure was mentioned by no Pinole voter as

540
01:56:15,166 --> 01:56:16,166
an area of concern.

541
01:56:17,133 --> 01:56:19,066
It was also brought home to me by the unanimity

542
01:56:19,066 --> 01:56:19,734
of Pinole voters.

543
01:56:20,567 --> 01:56:23,333
That no change to the current governance structure was warranted

544
01:56:23,734 --> 01:56:26,667
and that taxpayer funds would be better spent on issues

545
01:56:26,667 --> 01:56:30,100
of concern like road conditions, parks, and public safety.

546
01:56:30,867 --> 01:56:33,133
Thus, no argument can be made that the voters of

547
01:56:33,133 --> 01:56:35,667
Pinole are clamoring for this because they aren't.

548
01:56:36,567 --> 01:56:38,634
Aren't so there's really no reason I could find to

549
01:56:38,634 --> 01:56:42,066
vote. Yes. On measure D I encourage all Peno voters.

550
01:56:43,066 --> 01:56:45,000
Not to take my word for it though. They should

551
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:48,166
look at the minutes of the June 25th, 24 agenda.

552
01:56:49,133 --> 01:56:52,500
December 2nd, 25, January 20th, 26 city council meetings.

553
01:56:53,533 --> 01:56:55,300
Meetings review the comments from your neighbors, which are in

554
01:56:55,300 --> 01:56:56,100
the agenda packets.

555
01:56:57,133 --> 01:56:58,100
Packets. See if you can find a good reason for

556
01:56:58,100 --> 01:56:59,033
this wholesale change.

557
01:57:00,100 --> 01:57:02,033
But don't count on seeing any good arguments on the

558
01:57:02,033 --> 01:57:02,266
ballot.

559
01:57:03,066 --> 01:57:05,367
For some reason, those who are form measured, he submitted

560
01:57:05,367 --> 01:57:05,834
nothing.

561
01:57:06,667 --> 01:57:09,867
In response in support, perhaps that's the most compelling evidence

562
01:57:09,900 --> 01:57:10,867
of all that. There was.

563
01:57:13,700 --> 01:57:15,367
For the church. Thank you, speaker. Thank you. Next speaker,

564
01:57:15,367 --> 01:57:15,834
please.

565
01:57:19,066 --> 01:57:20,100
That concludes public comment.

566
01:57:21,133 --> 01:57:22,166
Okay. Any online.

567
01:57:23,233 --> 01:57:24,867
Speed. Okay. All right.

568
01:57:26,100 --> 01:57:29,166
So we got through assistance heard, we're gonna jump back

569
01:57:29,233 --> 01:57:30,066
to item.

570
01:57:31,066 --> 01:57:35,000
Eight recognitions presentations and community events. So we have.

571
01:57:35,900 --> 01:57:40,000
Item a proclamations we'll start with Parkinson's awareness month.

572
01:57:41,066 --> 01:57:42,266
April, 2026.

573
01:57:43,667 --> 01:57:46,734
Whereas Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive.

574
01:57:47,634 --> 01:57:50,033
Neurological disease and is the second most common.

575
01:57:51,066 --> 01:57:55,433
Neurodegenerative disease in the United States. And whereas Parkinson's disease is

576
01:57:55,467 --> 01:57:57,667
estimated to affect approximately one.

577
01:57:58,467 --> 01:57:59,667
Million people in the United States.

578
01:58:00,767 --> 01:58:05,066
And the prevalence will rise to 1.2 million by 2030.

579
01:58:05,934 --> 01:58:09,166
And whereas Parkinson's disease is the 14th leading cause of

580
01:58:09,166 --> 01:58:12,300
death in the United States. According to the center of disease

581
01:58:12,300 --> 01:58:12,767
control.

582
01:58:13,533 --> 01:58:15,900
And prevention and whereas it is estimated.

583
01:58:16,767 --> 01:58:19,500
That the economic burden of Parkinson's disease is at least

584
01:58:19,533 --> 01:58:23,266
52 billion annually, including direct and indirect costs.

585
01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:27,066
Including treatment, social security payments and lost income.

586
01:58:28,033 --> 01:58:29,834
To patients and family members and.

587
01:58:30,867 --> 01:58:34,100
Whereas research suggests the cause of Parkinson's disease.

588
01:58:35,066 --> 01:58:37,333
Is a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

589
01:58:38,100 --> 01:58:42,066
But the exact cause and progression of the disease is

590
01:58:42,066 --> 01:58:42,734
still unknown.

591
01:58:43,634 --> 01:58:47,300
And whereas there is no objective test or biomarker for

592
01:58:47,367 --> 01:58:48,500
Parkinson's disease.

593
01:58:49,333 --> 01:58:52,066
And there is no cure or drug to slow or

594
01:58:52,133 --> 01:58:54,066
halt the progression of the disease.

595
01:58:55,033 --> 01:58:59,166
And whereas the symptoms of Parkinson's disease vary from person

596
01:58:59,433 --> 01:59:00,100
to person.

597
01:59:00,934 --> 01:59:02,300
And can include tremors.

598
01:59:03,066 --> 01:59:05,300
Slowness of movement and rigidity.

599
01:59:06,333 --> 01:59:07,734
Difficulty with balance.

600
01:59:08,567 --> 01:59:10,100
Swallowing chewing.

601
01:59:10,867 --> 01:59:13,100
And speaking, cognitive impairment.

602
01:59:14,100 --> 01:59:15,834
In dementia mood disorders.

603
01:59:16,934 --> 01:59:20,033
Disorders and a variety of other non-motor symptoms. And.

604
01:59:21,066 --> 01:59:24,667
Whereas volunteers, researchers, caregivers, and medical professionals.

605
01:59:25,533 --> 01:59:28,033
Are working, working to improve the quality of life.

606
01:59:28,767 --> 01:59:31,667
Of persons living with Parkinson's disease and their families.

607
01:59:32,567 --> 01:59:37,066
Increased research, education and community support services, such as those

608
01:59:37,066 --> 01:59:40,033
provided by the Parkinson's foundation and other.

609
01:59:40,934 --> 01:59:43,500
Organizations are needed to find more effective treatments.

610
01:59:44,367 --> 01:59:47,367
And to profi to provide access to quality care to

611
01:59:47,367 --> 01:59:49,066
those living with the disease today.

612
01:59:50,100 --> 01:59:52,767
Now, therefore I, Anthony Tave mayor of the city of

D.

626

Is a developmental disability that can cause significant social.

627
02:00:35,634 --> 02:00:36,634
Communication and behavioral challenges.

628
02:00:37,900 --> 02:00:39,533
Challenges and whereas we celebrate difference.

Whereas about one in every 54 children are affected by

632
02:00:49,333 --> 02:00:53,133
autism and disability can affect anyone regardless of race, ethnicity,

633
02:00:53,133 --> 02:00:55,100
gender, or socioeconomic background.

634
02:00:56,000 --> 02:00:59,066
And whereas autism can take an emotional, physical and financial

635
02:00:59,066 --> 02:01:02,834
toll on the families and children affected. And whereas until

636
02:01:02,834 --> 02:01:06,033
recent years, autism was considered to be a condition with

637
02:01:06,033 --> 02:01:06,867
poor prognosis.

638
02:01:08,100 --> 02:01:12,033
Now research shows that early care and intervention are key

639
02:01:12,033 --> 02:01:14,100
to helping those who are diagnosed with.

640
02:01:15,066 --> 02:01:16,266

And their families adjust to its challenges and.

Whereas America is founded on the idea that all people

651
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:50,033
are created equal.

652
02:01:50,867 --> 02:01:53,533
And it deserved to be treated equally throughout their lives.

653
02:01:54,300 --> 02:01:59,000
And whereas autism acceptance month recognizes that autism is more

654
02:01:59,000 --> 02:01:59,734
than a diagnosis.

655
02:02:00,767 --> 02:02:02,500
It is an identity community.

656
02:02:03,233 --> 02:02:06,367
And they lived experience that encompasses both challenges and triumphs.

657
02:02:07,433 --> 02:02:09,367

02:05:29,133 --> 02:05:30,133
April 11th, 2026.

723
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:34,634
Whereas pets are one of the most important parts of

724
02:05:34,634 --> 02:05:35,834
our lives and families.

725
02:05:36,767 --> 02:05:36,767
And

726
02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:43,066
res pets make life better by giving people love, companionship,

727
02:05:43,033 --> 02:05:46,166
and comfort. Getting us outside for exercise and helping us

728
02:05:46,166 --> 02:05:47,333
build social connections.

729
02:05:48,166 --> 02:05:51,834
And whereas national APPE on April 11th, dedicates the date to

730
02:05:51,834 --> 02:05:54,367
those pets who may not always get the companionship and

731
02:05:54,367 --> 02:05:56,000
attention pets deserve. And.

732
02:05:56,934 --> 02:05:59,133
Whereas national pet day is a day set aside.

733
02:06:00,066 --> 02:06:03,000
Time to reflect on how those furry feathered.

734
02:06:04,033 --> 02:06:06,266
Scaled and other animal friends impact our lives.

735
02:06:07,066 --> 02:06:09,533
And it should also be a day to think about.

736
02:06:10,300 --> 02:06:13,634
What we can do to help our animal compa companions

737
02:06:13,867 --> 02:06:16,367
live a fuller, richer, and happier life.

738
02:06:17,333 --> 02:06:20,433
And whereas national pet day can also be a great

739
02:06:20,734 --> 02:06:21,333
reminder that.

740
02:06:22,100 --> 02:06:24,066
As much as we love our animals.

741
02:06:25,300 --> 02:06:28,500
There are still many out there that need our help

742
02:06:28,900 --> 02:06:29,000
and.

743
02:06:29,900 --> 02:06:32,667
Whereas on this day, we can make a pledge to

744
02:06:32,700 --> 02:06:36,433
donate to shelters and organizations that do so much incredible

745
02:06:36,533 --> 02:06:38,333
work on behalf of these animals.

746
02:06:39,433 --> 02:06:41,667
And whereas responsible pet ownership.

747
02:06:42,667 --> 02:06:44,867
Is vital to the wellbeing of pets and people.

748
02:06:45,900 --> 02:06:47,634
And whereas helping other animals in similar.

749
02:06:48,367 --> 02:06:49,867
Situations might be the perfect.

750
02:06:50,667 --> 02:06:53,734
Way to honor your own pets on national pet day.

751
02:06:54,500 --> 02:06:57,300
Now, therefore I, Anthony Tave mayor of the city of

Animal shelters and rescues.

Rescues. All right, everybody. Thank you.

759
02:07:17,467 --> 02:07:18,000
All right.

760
02:07:19,433 --> 02:07:22,033
Okay. We've got through proclamations can make one comment on

761
02:07:22,033 --> 02:07:23,900
that mayor. Yeah. Were there any comments?

762
02:07:24,934 --> 02:07:27,266
Comments in any public. Did we take public comment on?

02:07:27,767 --> 02:07:30,834
Yeah, we could. Yeah, please. Yes. Ahead. We.

764

Go ahead. Council member Sai, we'll take, just wanna make

765
02:07:35,266 --> 02:07:39,266
one comment. If you go to Contra casaa.ca.gov and go

766
02:07:39,266 --> 02:07:43,300
under Contra Costa animal shelter, there's a list of currently

767
02:07:43,300 --> 02:07:45,433
available animals, both cats and dogs.

768
02:07:46,567 --> 02:07:49,300
That's my call to action, please. Adopt, do not shop.

769
02:07:49,433 --> 02:07:51,567
Thank you to you. Deputy city clerk. .

770
02:07:53,667 --> 02:07:56,567
Thank you. Council member Sai. We do have one online

771
02:07:56,567 --> 02:07:57,900
Richard castle.

772
02:08:01,133 --> 02:08:01,533
Go ahead, speaker.

773
02:08:03,667 --> 02:08:04,433
You might be on mute.

774
02:08:05,533 --> 02:08:08,634
Yes. Hi, excuse me. Sorry. I, I thought that you

775
02:08:08,634 --> 02:08:10,100
were resuming at seven.

776
02:08:11,066 --> 02:08:14,500
So I, I just was going through the budget that.

777
02:08:15,867 --> 02:08:18,767
One sec, the last Richard one second. I, I do,

778
02:08:18,867 --> 02:08:21,100
I did say seven o'clock and what we'll do is

779
02:08:21,233 --> 02:08:22,533
let's close out this item.

780
02:08:23,433 --> 02:08:25,066
I'm not sure if we can.

781
02:08:26,100 --> 02:08:28,367
Do that city attorney, we can take that public.

782
02:08:29,900 --> 02:08:31,266
Publicly by the way. Wait, I, I just, I, I

783
02:08:31,266 --> 02:08:33,300
knew it was seven and Mr. Cost, let me, let

784
02:08:33,300 --> 02:08:35,266
me check, hang one second, one second. Let me check

785
02:08:35,266 --> 02:08:36,900
with the city attorney to see if we can take

786
02:08:36,900 --> 02:08:37,734
that public comment.

787
02:08:38,567 --> 02:08:41,533
Because we did say seven. Yep. Through the chair. You,

788
02:08:41,533 --> 02:08:44,533
you can reopen public comment. Okay. Yeah. So we'll take

789
02:08:44,667 --> 02:08:48,567
that public comment then just, and then after seven, we'll

790
02:08:48,567 --> 02:08:51,100
keep moving forward until our next public comment at the

791
02:08:51,100 --> 02:08:51,567
end of the meeting.

792
02:08:53,333 --> 02:08:55,000
Okay, let, let us close this one out and then

793
02:08:55,000 --> 02:08:57,266
we will we'll do that. So if there's any other

794
02:08:57,500 --> 02:08:59,066
comments on proclamations,

795
02:09:01,133 --> 02:09:04,033
none. Okay. See none then we'll go ahead and reopen.

796
02:09:05,433 --> 02:09:06,100
Public comment.

797
02:09:07,467 --> 02:09:08,367
To take public comment.

798
02:09:09,467 --> 02:09:10,266
As we said at seven.

799
02:09:12,100 --> 02:09:13,767
Richard castle. Go ahead.

800
02:09:15,066 --> 02:09:19,066
Okay, I'm sorry for the confusion. I just was going

801
02:09:19,066 --> 02:09:20,367
through the budget that.

802
02:09:21,700 --> 02:09:23,734
We had discussed last week.

803
02:09:24,567 --> 02:09:26,834
And I just noticed one thing and I I'm kind

804
02:09:26,834 --> 02:09:27,000
of.

805
02:09:27,834 --> 02:09:32,333
Wondering why we have a sustainability project manager that seems

806
02:09:32,333 --> 02:09:35,100
to be a new position that looks like it's about

807
02:09:35,100 --> 02:09:35,567
a hundred. And.

808
02:09:36,367 --> 02:09:38,500
$30,000. I mean, if we take the.

809
02:09:39,233 --> 02:09:42,533
The budget for that and divide by 10.

810
02:09:44,166 --> 02:09:47,734
That seems to be kind of odd, especially with the

811
02:09:47,734 --> 02:09:49,000
budget issues that we have.

812
02:09:49,900 --> 02:09:53,066
Also that particular position is unusual for a city. This

813
02:09:53,100 --> 02:09:53,433
size.

814
02:09:54,300 --> 02:09:55,567
So I just would like to.

815
02:09:56,934 --> 02:09:58,634
Ask the, our city manager.

816
02:09:59,433 --> 02:10:02,000
To review the need or the necessa necessity.

817
02:10:03,066 --> 02:10:05,266
Of a sustainability project manager.

818
02:10:06,100 --> 02:10:08,133
And whether or not it is needed going forward.

819
02:10:09,133 --> 02:10:10,000
That's it. Thank you very much.

820
02:10:12,066 --> 02:10:13,133
Thank you. Thank you, speaker.

821
02:10:14,133 --> 02:10:15,634
Okay. So we'll

822
02:10:16,367 --> 02:10:19,767
move on to item eight, B presentations.

823
02:10:21,734 --> 02:10:23,033
Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor.

824
02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:27,100
I'm going to introduce for the clean California community designation

825
02:10:27,100 --> 02:10:29,634
sign unveiling and installation suggestions.

826
02:10:30,467 --> 02:10:33,333
Our sustainability project manager will be here with a presentation.

827
02:10:34,667 --> 02:10:38,066
Kail. And I, I will say in my experience,

828
02:10:38,867 --> 02:10:40,166
sustainability is a growing

829
02:10:41,433 --> 02:10:45,533
field where cities of all sizes need to address this.

830
02:10:45,767 --> 02:10:46,066
And.

831
02:10:47,467 --> 02:10:50,000
The wonderful city of Pinole is very lucky to have

832
02:10:50,033 --> 02:10:50,266
Kapil.

833
02:10:51,233 --> 02:10:54,000
And looking forward to his presentation as he sets it

834
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:54,767
up right now.

835
02:10:55,834 --> 02:10:56,000
So, thank you.

836
02:10:59,333 --> 02:11:00,100
Right here.

837
02:11:24,133 --> 02:11:27,100
Okay, great timing on that. .

838
02:11:29,333 --> 02:11:31,634
So today. Good evening, mayor counsel.

839
02:11:32,567 --> 02:11:35,333
Members of the staff and members of the public. I'm

840
02:11:35,333 --> 02:11:36,333
KA I'm the.

841
02:11:37,333 --> 02:11:38,166
Sustainability project manager.

842
02:11:39,634 --> 02:11:40,533
And tonight we have

843
02:11:42,100 --> 02:11:43,767
a special presentation to unveil.

844
02:11:45,533 --> 02:11:47,834
Our sign for achieving the clean California.

845
02:11:48,567 --> 02:11:49,567
Community designation.

846
02:11:50,867 --> 02:11:53,533
Next slide. Do you wanna ask presentation?

847
02:11:54,667 --> 02:11:58,333
Oh, Dave, do you have the presentation?

848
02:12:01,033 --> 02:12:01,300
Oh, there.

849
02:12:02,300 --> 02:12:02,900
Yeah, next slide.

850
02:12:06,133 --> 02:12:09,500
So for some background, the clean California community designation program,

851
02:12:09,834 --> 02:12:11,533
it's offered by the Caltrans.

852
02:12:12,567 --> 02:12:16,166
Caltrans clean California initiative. It's a statewide effort to remove

853
02:12:16,266 --> 02:12:16,767
litter.

854
02:12:17,734 --> 02:12:19,834
Create jobs and revitalize public spaces.

855
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:24,033
And so the city submitted an application to the program.

856
02:12:25,133 --> 02:12:27,033
Highlighting efforts and various criteria.

857
02:12:28,033 --> 02:12:30,033
And the four that are listed, they're not exhaustive.

858
02:12:31,066 --> 02:12:35,033
But we have for little assessment, we have audits that

859
02:12:35,033 --> 02:12:37,900
are currently being conducted by Sacramento state.

860
02:12:38,867 --> 02:12:41,500
University and art team for our trash capture.

861
02:12:42,300 --> 02:12:44,500
Devices for cleanups.

862
02:12:45,533 --> 02:12:47,066
We have friends of Pinole Creek watershed here.

863
02:12:48,367 --> 02:12:50,634
They organize many community cleanups.

864
02:12:51,634 --> 02:12:55,000
As well as hosting, we host our annual coastal cleanup

865
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:55,033
day.

866
02:12:57,667 --> 02:12:59,634
For infrastructure we've rolled out.

867
02:13:00,567 --> 02:13:03,500
New tri stream rep receptacles at the soccer field. You'll

868
02:13:03,500 --> 02:13:04,166
see, like three.

869
02:13:05,166 --> 02:13:11,033
Two trash receptacles that like compost, recycling and landfill.

870
02:13:12,300 --> 02:13:15,667
For collection drives, we host our annual dumpster day.

871
02:13:16,934 --> 02:13:19,033
And so this list is not exhaustive. There are about

872
02:13:19,100 --> 02:13:22,066
six other criteria that we met to receive the designation.

873
02:13:23,066 --> 02:13:23,367
Next slide.

874
02:13:27,467 --> 02:13:32,500
So in September of 2025, governor Newsom announced Pinole as

875
02:13:32,500 --> 02:13:36,033
one of the first 30 communities statewide to have earned

876
02:13:36,033 --> 02:13:36,767
this designation.

877
02:13:37,867 --> 02:13:39,533
And we really want to give a special shout out

878
02:13:39,533 --> 02:13:41,867
to our partners. We couldn't have done it without them.

879
02:13:42,867 --> 02:13:44,533
And especially shout out to the friends of Pinole Creek

880
02:13:44,533 --> 02:13:49,066
watershed. They helped us achieve about three criteria to achieve

881
02:13:49,100 --> 02:13:49,900
the designation.

882
02:13:51,100 --> 02:13:53,433
And so benefits of the designation.

883
02:13:54,300 --> 02:13:56,500
Are personalized signage, which we have here today.

884
02:13:57,667 --> 02:14:03,166
Statewide recognition, promotional rights, priority, access to resources such as

885
02:14:03,166 --> 02:14:04,000
cleanup kits.

886
02:14:04,934 --> 02:14:08,066
Kits and automatic membership to keep California beautiful.

887
02:14:09,767 --> 02:14:10,634
Next slide, please.

888
02:14:12,533 --> 02:14:16,333
So we actually received confirmation today from Caltrans that we

889
02:14:16,333 --> 02:14:19,767
can't put it on on-ramp on-ramps and off-ramps of the

890
02:14:19,767 --> 02:14:20,000
highways.

891
02:14:21,133 --> 02:14:23,500
Highways civils, get the slide and the next two.

892
02:14:26,133 --> 02:14:27,033
Yes, the next one.

893
02:14:28,100 --> 02:14:29,333
So the public works.

894
02:14:30,100 --> 02:14:32,767
Director and I, we worked on maybe some suggested locations.

895
02:14:34,300 --> 02:14:35,734
Possibly, maybe at like the cross section.

896
02:14:36,567 --> 02:14:37,867
Of San Pablo and Oak Ridge.

897
02:14:38,867 --> 02:14:40,133
Which is between the main.

898
02:14:41,133 --> 02:14:41,734
Antenna.

899
02:14:43,233 --> 02:14:45,834
Roads. And so that's kind of behind city hall.

900
02:14:47,433 --> 02:14:47,834
Next slide.

901
02:14:49,700 --> 02:14:51,634
As well as Bayfront park.

902
02:14:52,567 --> 02:14:53,533
Past the railroad tracks.

903
02:14:54,867 --> 02:14:56,000
But we're open to

904
02:14:57,133 --> 02:14:59,066
suggestions. So the next slide is just counsel.

905
02:15:00,100 --> 02:15:02,033
Suggestions on where we could put.

906
02:15:02,867 --> 02:15:03,100
The sign.

907
02:15:07,133 --> 02:15:10,433
Do you who wants twin village? Should mm-hmm want

908
02:15:10,433 --> 02:15:14,266
me unveil? Yeah, go ahead. Or the mayor? Mayor. Okay.

909
02:15:14,634 --> 02:15:15,033
You can do it.

910
02:15:20,367 --> 02:15:21,433
This is kind of exciting.

911
02:15:26,100 --> 02:15:27,133
Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah.

912
02:15:30,233 --> 02:15:30,567
Nice.

913
02:15:33,166 --> 02:15:34,433
All right, that looks great.

914
02:15:36,467 --> 02:15:37,533
Okay. So we'll

915
02:15:38,300 --> 02:15:40,634
take some questions from council members and then.

916
02:15:41,533 --> 02:15:43,567
Some public comment and bring it back to council.

917
02:15:44,367 --> 02:15:46,767
Sounds good. Council member Toms. Go ahead.

918
02:15:47,634 --> 02:15:50,300
Yeah. So is it just one sign that we need

919
02:15:50,300 --> 02:15:52,634
to find a house, a place for? Yeah.

920
02:15:54,033 --> 02:15:57,266
I was actually going to suggest we not do something

921
02:15:57,367 --> 02:15:59,667
at Caltrans because we still have a lot of work

922
02:15:59,667 --> 02:16:02,000
to do with Caltrans, with the state to.

923
02:16:03,066 --> 02:16:04,300
Work on cleaning up the litter.

924
02:16:05,133 --> 02:16:06,333
In that area. So

925
02:16:07,834 --> 02:16:10,166
I think it would be counterproductive to put it there,

926
02:16:10,367 --> 02:16:12,100
but they made the decision for us.

927
02:16:14,634 --> 02:16:17,000
One of the areas that I was thinking about was.

928
02:16:18,300 --> 02:16:21,066
An entrance to the Creek trail, which is on.

929
02:16:22,100 --> 02:16:25,567
Henry avenue at the Creek crossing behind sprouts.

930
02:16:26,667 --> 02:16:28,367
Sprouts. And then I think another area is.

931
02:16:29,133 --> 02:16:32,734
Behind our, after you cross over the railroad tracks, which

932
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:36,867
is an area that you mentioned, but an area where

933
02:16:36,900 --> 02:16:40,000
we have both vehicles and a trail.

934
02:16:41,667 --> 02:16:42,734
Intersect, I think

935
02:16:43,634 --> 02:16:45,567
might be a good, good place to consider.

936
02:16:46,634 --> 02:16:48,100
Okay. Okay.

937
02:16:50,100 --> 02:16:51,033
Questions questions. Yes.

938
02:16:52,567 --> 02:16:54,367
Council member set. Go ahead. Thanks mayor. And thank you

939
02:16:54,433 --> 02:16:57,500
for the great presentation. It looks beautiful.

940
02:16:59,367 --> 02:17:01,634
Out of the options that you presented that are not

941
02:17:01,634 --> 02:17:02,533
on Caltrans.

942
02:17:03,834 --> 02:17:06,834
Property or on-ramps off-ramps where, where is.

943
02:17:07,634 --> 02:17:08,834
Trash litter. Most prevalent.

944
02:17:11,900 --> 02:17:12,867
I say along

945
02:17:13,700 --> 02:17:16,333
the creeks and heavens here downtown. Sorry.

946
02:17:19,934 --> 02:17:21,567
And I asked a question both because.

947
02:17:22,667 --> 02:17:25,500
Considering placement of this want, want, of course, to be

948
02:17:25,533 --> 02:17:27,100
a sense of pride for folks, but also.

949
02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:29,734
Deterrent for, for litter as well. Yeah.

950
02:17:30,667 --> 02:17:33,000
We've invited the public works director up. I can say

951
02:17:33,700 --> 02:17:37,066
anecdotally and from a economic development perspective.

952
02:17:38,100 --> 02:17:41,567
There is hotspots of trash in our commercial shopping areas.

953
02:17:41,567 --> 02:17:44,333
So we are working with code enforcement right now. So

954
02:17:44,333 --> 02:17:47,000
I know of, of those areas as being pretty heavy.

955
02:17:48,033 --> 02:17:48,900
But I'll let Heba

956
02:17:52,567 --> 02:17:56,033
I believe that honorable mayor and council members.

957
02:17:56,934 --> 02:17:59,266
Good evening. public director.

958
02:18:00,433 --> 02:18:02,333
I believe the areas of concerns.

959
02:18:03,233 --> 02:18:07,667
Concerns are near the freeway. Ramps I 80 ramps.

960
02:18:08,767 --> 02:18:12,300
Rams the sign, however will be installed within the city's

961
02:18:12,300 --> 02:18:13,033
right of way.

962
02:18:13,900 --> 02:18:17,567
So we will pay attention to, to the Caltrans versus

963
02:18:17,867 --> 02:18:20,533
the city right of way. And we will be able.

964
02:18:21,533 --> 02:18:23,100
To maintain the surrounding area.

965
02:18:24,033 --> 02:18:26,567
The reason that we would install it within the cities

966
02:18:26,734 --> 02:18:29,333
right of way also, so that we wouldn't be forced.

967
02:18:30,100 --> 02:18:32,433
Into obtaining an encroachment permit and so forth.

968
02:18:33,634 --> 02:18:36,367
Okay. And, and second question as well.

969
02:18:37,133 --> 02:18:39,300
Did you need counsel to give direction on the placement

970
02:18:39,300 --> 02:18:40,567
tonight during this presentation?

971
02:18:42,166 --> 02:18:44,300
No, you could, oh yeah, you could think about it.

972
02:18:44,300 --> 02:18:46,500
And then we'll come back to the council. A separate

973
02:18:46,500 --> 02:18:48,533
item. Yeah. Okay, great. Thank you.

974
02:18:49,333 --> 02:18:53,000
Okay. Council member Martinez, Ruben, and then council member Toms.

975
02:18:53,367 --> 02:18:57,300
Yeah. One of those hotspots is the corridor that has

976
02:18:58,033 --> 02:19:02,033
UN Fitzgerald that has a number of fast food out

977
02:19:02,033 --> 02:19:03,066
outlets or eatery.

978
02:19:04,000 --> 02:19:07,066
Eateries. And so I am thinking, not knowing exactly the

979
02:19:07,066 --> 02:19:10,033
right of way that the city has and, and versus

980
02:19:10,266 --> 02:19:11,100
Caltrans property.

981
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:14,500
That off-ramp going east.

982
02:19:15,300 --> 02:19:16,767
Let's see at Appian way.

983
02:19:17,867 --> 02:19:20,333
Because I think it's also, it's also serves as a

984
02:19:20,333 --> 02:19:20,567
welcome.

985
02:19:21,333 --> 02:19:22,367
Sign right. And

986
02:19:23,634 --> 02:19:27,000
so definitely near, near one of the off-ramps where we

987
02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:27,533
do have.

988
02:19:29,133 --> 02:19:31,767
Almost an alley or a corridor of.

989
02:19:32,567 --> 02:19:36,300
Of litter that's that that's there because of the.

990
02:19:37,367 --> 02:19:40,033
Customers to those eateries, but as well, because it's, it's

991
02:19:40,033 --> 02:19:40,333
wind blown.

992
02:19:41,900 --> 02:19:44,100
So it would be very obvious and hopefully.

993
02:19:45,133 --> 02:19:46,100
There would be an effort, greater effort.

994
02:19:48,467 --> 02:19:51,367
By by pastors by as well as drivers.

995
02:19:52,367 --> 02:19:53,500
Who often just

996
02:19:54,667 --> 02:19:56,300
litter right out of their windows.

997
02:19:57,133 --> 02:19:59,667
Rolling down their windows and just drop, drop litter onto

998
02:19:59,767 --> 02:20:00,767
the street or the.

999
02:20:01,867 --> 02:20:04,033
Part of the road. So that's one thought.

1000
02:20:04,934 --> 02:20:08,033
But I think of others. It's a beautiful sign. And

1001
02:20:08,033 --> 02:20:09,567
I, I want to thank.

1002
02:20:10,667 --> 02:20:14,033
Tripoli friends of Pinole Creek watershed. This is a long

1003
02:20:14,100 --> 02:20:14,734
way coming.

1004
02:20:16,700 --> 02:20:20,433
And the work that, that this group has done together

1005
02:20:20,433 --> 02:20:21,033
with you.

1006
02:20:21,900 --> 02:20:25,033
Staff to, to get to the point of, of having

1007
02:20:25,033 --> 02:20:27,867
this designation and as well, our council members, because I

1008
02:20:27,867 --> 02:20:31,033
think there was some interest in particular to have that

1009
02:20:31,033 --> 02:20:34,266
designation as an agenda item at some point last year.

1010
02:20:34,467 --> 02:20:35,300
And, and here we are.

1011
02:20:36,700 --> 02:20:39,300
As a result of, of three different efforts.

1012
02:20:40,367 --> 02:20:41,066
Efforts by three different.

1013
02:20:42,667 --> 02:20:46,667
Groups of people representing the city in its many role

1014
02:20:46,734 --> 02:20:48,500
in the many roles that, that people.

1015
02:20:49,333 --> 02:20:50,567
Here in Pinole as residents.

1016
02:20:51,634 --> 02:20:54,567
Residents have to create something that will.

1017
02:20:55,900 --> 02:20:56,900
Continue benefiting.

1018
02:20:57,700 --> 02:21:00,100
Everyone, not only the residents, but the visitors to Pinnel

1019
02:21:00,100 --> 02:21:02,033
so that they know that we indeed have.

1020
02:21:03,433 --> 02:21:06,300
A clean city as something that's an ongoing.

1021
02:21:07,233 --> 02:21:10,033
Desire and in keeping with one of the city's goals

1022
02:21:10,033 --> 02:21:11,567
to have a thriving and beautiful city.

1023
02:21:13,100 --> 02:21:14,834
This is one means of getting us.

1024
02:21:15,634 --> 02:21:18,033
There or having us there. So thanks everyone who has

1025
02:21:18,033 --> 02:21:18,367
been involved.

1026
02:21:22,100 --> 02:21:23,900
Okay. Council member, Tom, for questions.

1027
02:21:24,934 --> 02:21:27,133
Questions. Oh, it's not a question. Okay. It's a suggestion.

1028
02:21:28,000 --> 02:21:30,266
Suggestions. Yeah, I have two, two more sites. Oh, we

1029
02:21:30,266 --> 02:21:32,533
still have public comment. We could probably bring it back.

1030
02:21:32,834 --> 02:21:35,066
Okay. Okay. But I, I would like to hear their

1031
02:21:35,066 --> 02:21:39,066
comments after I make suggestions, though. Okay. Well, go ahead.

1032
02:21:39,233 --> 02:21:43,333
Thank you. Thank you. Thanking about Pino road and Henry

1033
02:21:43,500 --> 02:21:44,066
and front of.

1034
02:21:45,700 --> 02:21:48,867
If there's a room on that triangular area in front

1035
02:21:48,867 --> 02:21:52,266
of Collins elementary school, and then the other area would

1036
02:21:52,300 --> 02:21:52,567
be.

1037
02:21:53,333 --> 02:21:54,767
On at

1038
02:21:55,634 --> 02:21:57,567
the split of tenant and Pinole valley road, where we

1039
02:21:57,867 --> 02:21:58,066
normally.

1040
02:21:58,867 --> 02:22:00,100
Post events.

1041
02:22:01,133 --> 02:22:03,000
Events. There's a lot of people that see that area

1042
02:22:06,100 --> 02:22:06,100
and it is a crossing of a trail and aroad.

1043
02:22:07,066 --> 02:22:09,634
So thank you for letting me that's fine. Let's see

1044
02:22:09,634 --> 02:22:12,533
what happens. Now. I wanna ask questions and comments, but

1045
02:22:12,533 --> 02:22:15,033
we are gonna miss the public comments. So maybe we

1046
02:22:15,033 --> 02:22:18,133
should do public comments and then hopefully get some suggestions

1047
02:22:18,133 --> 02:22:19,000
from, from public.

1048
02:22:20,033 --> 02:22:22,033
And we also wanted to get a picture with the

1049
02:22:22,033 --> 02:22:23,000
friends and council.

1050
02:22:23,834 --> 02:22:26,000
Will do. Okay. So do we have any public comment?

1051
02:22:27,066 --> 02:22:28,900
There are no public comments, none at all.

1052
02:22:29,900 --> 02:22:30,033
Okay.

1053
02:22:32,634 --> 02:22:35,166
I guess for, for me, I, the, the Caltrans thing

1054
02:22:35,166 --> 02:22:36,100
keeps coming up.

1055
02:22:37,667 --> 02:22:41,000
We keep talking about how much track and it's because

1056
02:22:41,033 --> 02:22:44,033
the freeway's like a bowl right there. And so all

1057
02:22:44,033 --> 02:22:45,567
the trash comes down into our area.

1058
02:22:46,500 --> 02:22:48,133
And, and I'm trying to figure out, is there like

1059
02:22:48,300 --> 02:22:49,333
fencing or.

1060
02:22:50,300 --> 02:22:51,767
Some type of catch that can be done.

1061
02:22:52,900 --> 02:22:54,266
Along that ramp it's.

1062
02:22:55,066 --> 02:22:56,367
It's relatively in inexpensive.

1063
02:22:57,333 --> 02:22:59,066
But when the wind blows it, it doesn't blow all

1064
02:22:59,066 --> 02:23:00,867
the way down into Pinole onto.

1065
02:23:01,900 --> 02:23:03,133
Pinole valley road. And then.

1066
02:23:04,000 --> 02:23:05,500
You know, into our Creek.

1067
02:23:06,467 --> 02:23:09,433
So there's, there's, I've seen this method before they use

1068
02:23:09,433 --> 02:23:11,433
it kind of like with SWES when you're catching water

1069
02:23:11,533 --> 02:23:12,133
to redirect.

1070
02:23:13,133 --> 02:23:15,000
There's ways to put fencing up, to try to catch

1071
02:23:15,000 --> 02:23:16,867
some of this stuff. So it's easier to clean up

1072
02:23:17,000 --> 02:23:20,066
and it's not spread completely across the off-ramp.

1073
02:23:21,166 --> 02:23:24,066
I'm just wondering, we talked about this designation back then.

1074
02:23:25,133 --> 02:23:27,100
But we also talked about getting some type of.

1075
02:23:28,000 --> 02:23:29,900
Effort to for Cal from Caltrans.

1076
02:23:31,066 --> 02:23:32,667
Caltrans my, my, I guess my question would be what,

1077
02:23:32,934 --> 02:23:35,567
what F I guess what has been that effort?

1078
02:23:39,066 --> 02:23:40,834
That. Well, I kinda wanna hear from staff first, but

1079
02:23:40,900 --> 02:23:41,066
then.

1080
02:23:42,100 --> 02:23:44,033
Didn't just because we, we talked about this for.

1081
02:23:45,133 --> 02:23:45,900
A few years and then.

1082
02:23:53,767 --> 02:23:55,433
I apologize for working back.

1083
02:23:56,166 --> 02:23:59,100
I just wanted to, to share that we've been in

1084
02:23:59,100 --> 02:24:04,033
communication with Caltrans and we placed multiple.

1085
02:24:05,333 --> 02:24:06,066
Work orders.

1086
02:24:07,066 --> 02:24:08,066
To do the cleanup.

1087
02:24:09,667 --> 02:24:14,300
It's it's a large organization and responding to request is

1088
02:24:14,367 --> 02:24:15,433
not as fast.

1089
02:24:17,300 --> 02:24:20,834
I personally think that the fencing is a good idea

1090
02:24:21,033 --> 02:24:23,066
and we could pursue it if you wish.

1091
02:24:24,834 --> 02:24:27,333
Okay, thank you. Thank you for that. I I'm glad

1092
02:24:27,333 --> 02:24:30,333
to hear that the conversation hasn't dropped, I just don't

1093
02:24:30,333 --> 02:24:32,667
wanna put up with this beautiful sign. It says clean

1094
02:24:32,667 --> 02:24:35,266
California community, and then we'll still have the same issue.

1095
02:24:35,300 --> 02:24:37,166
Council member, Tom, you said you might have some info

1096
02:24:37,166 --> 02:24:39,266
information left the front, have a about a year and

1097
02:24:39,300 --> 02:24:40,166
a half ago. We.

1098
02:24:41,133 --> 02:24:45,100
Submitted a letter to Caltrans and copied our state legislators

1099
02:24:45,033 --> 02:24:46,867
mm-hmm and got a.

1100
02:24:47,834 --> 02:24:50,000
I would say we were blown off by staff.

1101
02:24:51,066 --> 02:24:52,000
To put it mildly.

1102
02:24:53,133 --> 02:24:56,867
Wait by, by Cal, by Cal. And we asked for

1103
02:24:56,867 --> 02:24:59,066
permanent, which been great trash.

1104
02:25:00,100 --> 02:25:02,433
Fencing to trash capture fencing.

1105
02:25:03,433 --> 02:25:07,033
Especially over the Creek on the, on and off ramps

1106
02:25:07,033 --> 02:25:08,033
of Pinole valley road.

1107
02:25:09,166 --> 02:25:11,066
I have since brought it up when I have met

1108
02:25:11,433 --> 02:25:13,667
directly with Senator Ergen.

1109
02:25:14,667 --> 02:25:17,100
And again sent the copy of the letter and the

1110
02:25:17,266 --> 02:25:20,033
response to his staff. And I did the same when

1111
02:25:20,033 --> 02:25:20,767
we met with.

1112
02:25:22,100 --> 02:25:23,367
Assembly member wicks. Mm-hmm .

1113
02:25:24,567 --> 02:25:27,266
Recent. In fact, I made copies and handed them to

1114
02:25:27,300 --> 02:25:30,100
her when we met with them in December. And you're

1115
02:25:30,100 --> 02:25:32,567
saying we've got no response. We have gotten no.

1116
02:25:33,767 --> 02:25:36,300
Concrete response other than we will clean it up. When

1117
02:25:36,300 --> 02:25:37,266
you put in a work order.

1118
02:25:38,300 --> 02:25:39,367
But we need something permanent.

1119
02:25:40,734 --> 02:25:42,100
Agreed. I think

1120
02:25:42,867 --> 02:25:45,300
sometimes what happens is they'll put like vegetation. The, the

1121
02:25:45,300 --> 02:25:47,500
issue is the trash is going way up that hill

1122
02:25:47,500 --> 02:25:50,033
mm-hmm and is staying up there because of the

1123
02:25:50,033 --> 02:25:53,033
level of effort to bring all that stuff down. Whereas

1124
02:25:53,033 --> 02:25:54,634
if you catch it on the concrete, it's a little

1125
02:25:54,634 --> 02:25:57,634
bit easier to clean up a, okay. I think.

1126
02:25:58,900 --> 02:26:01,266
We might need to consider reviving that.

1127
02:26:02,834 --> 02:26:05,066
City manager and, and trying to chase this one down,

1128
02:26:05,066 --> 02:26:08,100
because it's something we've been talking about. I know for

1129
02:26:08,100 --> 02:26:08,433
years.

1130
02:26:09,333 --> 02:26:11,166
And it just seems like there hasn't been any traction.

1131
02:26:11,467 --> 02:26:13,500
We have a beautiful ramp, but I think somebody had

1132
02:26:13,500 --> 02:26:14,333
to crash into it.

1133
02:26:15,433 --> 02:26:17,900
On Appian in order for them to like now redo

1134
02:26:17,900 --> 02:26:18,433
the whole thing.

1135
02:26:19,433 --> 02:26:21,066
Which is odd, but

1136
02:26:22,667 --> 02:26:24,033
they did everything. But

1137
02:26:24,767 --> 02:26:26,634
what we had asked for.

1138
02:26:28,033 --> 02:26:29,000
Coming down the line. So I just wanna see if

1139
02:26:29,000 --> 02:26:30,634
we could maybe chase that down a little bit.

1140
02:26:32,100 --> 02:26:35,066
Was there any other comments, questions? Add a comment. Oh,

1141
02:26:35,133 --> 02:26:37,000
okay. Council member society. Go ahead.

1142
02:26:37,900 --> 02:26:39,300
Thank you, Mary. And also just wanna thank councilor Toms

1143
02:26:39,300 --> 02:26:40,867
for advocacy on, on that issue.

1144
02:26:41,734 --> 02:26:45,300
I would proudly support another letter to Caltrans district.

1145
02:26:46,100 --> 02:26:47,900
Ocala trans district. And maybe, I mean, I know last

1146
02:26:47,900 --> 02:26:49,667
time we had engagement from.

1147
02:26:51,000 --> 02:26:53,333
State Senate office and state assembly, but would be great.

1148
02:26:53,333 --> 02:26:56,433
Good to have supervisor Joy's office chime in as well

1149
02:26:56,433 --> 02:26:58,000
to try to try to elevate that.

1150
02:26:59,100 --> 02:27:01,000
Honest suggestions for, for the placement.

1151
02:27:02,734 --> 02:27:05,900
Definitely would be good to happen. An invisible area.

1152
02:27:06,667 --> 02:27:07,567
Definitely agree that it would be.

1153
02:27:09,634 --> 02:27:12,066
Double purpose as a, as a welcome sign. It's it's

1154
02:27:12,066 --> 02:27:13,133
a huge sign and, and.

1155
02:27:14,100 --> 02:27:14,533
And great. And so

1156
02:27:16,166 --> 02:27:19,100
I'm thinking about after the BNSF.

1157
02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:21,333
BNSF bridge before or after BNSF bridge.

1158
02:27:22,300 --> 02:27:24,266
Coming in from Hercules might be a good place.

1159
02:27:25,133 --> 02:27:25,900
Either direction.

1160
02:27:27,834 --> 02:27:29,333
Thinking too about coming from.

1161
02:27:30,500 --> 02:27:32,033
Richmond unincorporated Contra Costa county.

1162
02:27:32,934 --> 02:27:35,667
On the west side of Pinole by Pinole shores, something

1163
02:27:35,700 --> 02:27:36,333
along there.

1164
02:27:37,333 --> 02:27:40,133
And then I'm not exactly sure what would be feasible.

1165
02:27:40,166 --> 02:27:43,100
And if Fitzgeral drive area were as next to commercial.

1166
02:27:44,233 --> 02:27:46,567
But anything, there would be great as well since it's

1167
02:27:46,634 --> 02:27:48,000
one of the more prevalent places for litter.

1168
02:27:51,066 --> 02:27:53,000
other than that, just wanna thanks staff again for

1169
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:54,767
their work. Thank you, director Whalen.

1170
02:27:56,033 --> 02:27:57,100
Whalen and, and public works director Al Wendy.

1171
02:27:58,100 --> 02:28:01,066
And also Kail as well. Thank you. Your work is

1172
02:28:01,066 --> 02:28:01,500
appreciated.

1173
02:28:02,300 --> 02:28:04,367
Did a wonderful job on, on our cap and all

1174
02:28:04,367 --> 02:28:08,867
these, these different projects as well as application for designation

1175
02:28:08,867 --> 02:28:11,000
that we have here tonight. So congratulations and thank you

1176
02:28:11,000 --> 02:28:11,066
so much.

1177
02:28:12,033 --> 02:28:15,133
Great. Any other comments? I guess one of the comment

1178
02:28:15,266 --> 02:28:17,000
I have is with this designation.

1179
02:28:18,166 --> 02:28:21,567
You mentioned resources. What other type of resources would you

1180
02:28:21,567 --> 02:28:24,000
say come from a program like this? And I know

1181
02:28:24,000 --> 02:28:25,133
it's something that's evolving.

1182
02:28:26,433 --> 02:28:27,066
Over time.

1183
02:28:29,033 --> 02:28:32,033
There was like clean, clean up kits that are available.

1184
02:28:33,533 --> 02:28:37,567
Bags and yeah, so we have been offered some cleanup

1185
02:28:37,634 --> 02:28:39,500
kits that we put our name in first.

1186
02:28:40,500 --> 02:28:42,867
We got some, some bags out of that. I, I

1187
02:28:42,867 --> 02:28:45,667
believe that there might be some more kits and garbage

1188
02:28:45,834 --> 02:28:48,000
bags coming down the line that we would have priority

1189
02:28:48,033 --> 02:28:48,867
access to.

1190
02:28:49,700 --> 02:28:50,634
We also have

1191
02:28:52,166 --> 02:28:54,767
I don't remember Kail. You might recall if we.

1192
02:28:55,834 --> 02:28:57,100
Received extra points.

1193
02:28:58,100 --> 02:29:02,333
On our clean California grant application, but I believe that

1194
02:29:02,333 --> 02:29:05,066
there is an advantage of being a clean California community.

1195
02:29:06,100 --> 02:29:08,667
With applying for grants from the D O T such

1196
02:29:08,667 --> 02:29:10,834
as one that we've recently secured.

1197
02:29:11,834 --> 02:29:12,767
Secured. Awesome. Okay. Thank you.

1198
02:29:14,233 --> 02:29:16,166
All right. Are we gonna take a picture with the

1199
02:29:16,166 --> 02:29:16,433
sign?

1200
02:29:17,533 --> 02:29:20,000
Yeah, the friends are here as well. Awesome. Join us.

1201
02:29:20,000 --> 02:29:21,667
Yeah. Okay, great. Can we.

1202
02:29:22,667 --> 02:29:24,433
Can we have friends of Pearl Creek watershed come up

1203
02:29:24,433 --> 02:29:26,266
and join us since they have been a great part

1204
02:29:26,266 --> 02:29:26,533
of this.

1205
02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:37,133
Do we want shirt?

1206
02:29:39,266 --> 02:29:39,867
To represent

1207
02:29:42,500 --> 02:29:45,333
at least for , you know,

1208
02:29:50,533 --> 02:29:52,634
and then maybe some people behind it. Yeah, that's probably

1209
02:29:52,634 --> 02:29:53,734
good. That's good.

1210
02:30:01,133 --> 02:30:01,433
Can't see.

1211
02:30:17,266 --> 02:30:19,166
All right, here we go.

1212
02:30:29,734 --> 02:30:32,033
Thank you. Thank you.

1213
02:30:34,033 --> 02:30:34,100
My

1214
02:30:35,634 --> 02:30:41,066
hands was an excellent job. That's that's excellent.

1215
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:49,433
Okay, everyone. Let's go ahead and move.

1216
02:30:50,533 --> 02:30:53,100
On, is there any comment? No public comment.

1217
02:30:54,000 --> 02:30:57,066
No words, nothing. All right. No problem. .

1218
02:30:58,100 --> 02:31:00,333
Okay, so we'll go ahead and move forward.

1219
02:31:01,133 --> 02:31:06,367
With the coordinated outreach referral and engagement, our core program.

1220
02:31:08,300 --> 02:31:10,367
City management. Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor.

1221
02:31:11,767 --> 02:31:15,734
Item two of the presentations is an update by core.

1222
02:31:16,634 --> 02:31:19,667
And right now we've got our chief of police club

1223
02:31:19,667 --> 02:31:20,033
wound here.

1224
02:31:21,133 --> 02:31:23,367
And I just have to say core is such a

1225
02:31:23,367 --> 02:31:24,867
great addition to a community.

1226
02:31:25,900 --> 02:31:27,000
And really does help.

1227
02:31:28,367 --> 02:31:30,834
All the efforts within, within a community, cuz obviously.

1228
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:34,867
The police can only be so many places and so

1229
02:31:34,867 --> 02:31:37,500
many times, and get pulled so many different directions and

1230
02:31:37,567 --> 02:31:40,867
core is a great resource. So chief, if you could

1231
02:31:40,867 --> 02:31:42,100
please introduce Jenny.

1232
02:31:42,867 --> 02:31:46,567
Absolutely good evening, mayor and council members. I'm Melissa. Clun

1233
02:31:46,634 --> 02:31:49,433
our police chief and I'm pleased to be here to.

1234
02:31:50,500 --> 02:31:51,900
Present our next

1235
02:31:52,767 --> 02:31:56,033
presentation as the interim city manager.

1236
02:31:56,934 --> 02:31:59,533
Stated core has, is a new program for us. It

1237
02:31:59,533 --> 02:32:00,100
started this.

1238
02:32:01,133 --> 02:32:05,533
Current fiscal year and it has been a great partnership.

1239
02:32:06,467 --> 02:32:10,533
That the police department specifically has had with the core

1240
02:32:10,567 --> 02:32:12,166
team. We've worked with them over.

1241
02:32:13,133 --> 02:32:16,066
This entire year we've we've had a lot of communication

1242
02:32:16,133 --> 02:32:20,567
back and forth about specific individuals and specific concerns within

1243
02:32:20,667 --> 02:32:21,166
the community.

1244
02:32:22,100 --> 02:32:24,433
And, and they have just been really fantastic.

1245
02:32:25,333 --> 02:32:27,567
And so you will receive an update.

1246
02:32:30,000 --> 02:32:33,333
This evening, and that is from, it will be presented

1247
02:32:33,367 --> 02:32:36,767
by Jenny Robbins, who is the community response director and

1248
02:32:36,767 --> 02:32:39,767
Shelby Ferguson, who is the core program director. Thank you.

1249
02:32:51,000 --> 02:32:51,166
All right.

1250
02:32:52,166 --> 02:32:54,100
Good evening everybody. Thank you for the warm welcome.

1251
02:32:55,066 --> 02:32:58,133
Good evening, mayor Tave council members and members of the

1252
02:32:58,133 --> 02:32:58,367
public.

1253
02:32:59,266 --> 02:33:02,033
Thank you again for having us to share the great

1254
02:33:02,033 --> 02:33:04,033
work that core is doing in the city of Pinole.

1255
02:33:04,634 --> 02:33:07,166
My name's Jenny Robbins, I'm the director of community response,

1256
02:33:07,166 --> 02:33:09,734
and I'm here with Shelby Ferguson, our core program director.

1257
02:33:10,500 --> 02:33:13,166
And real quick before diving into the slides, I was

1258
02:33:13,166 --> 02:33:15,000
here about a year ago and I shared the same

1259
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:18,000
that I'm a proud Pinole. I've been living here and

1260
02:33:18,166 --> 02:33:20,300
raised my family here over the last 16 years.

1261
02:33:21,333 --> 02:33:24,000
And, and have seen the number of our unhoused community

1262
02:33:24,000 --> 02:33:25,266
members shift.

1263
02:33:26,100 --> 02:33:29,500
Things look different these days across Contra Costa, nationally, and

1264
02:33:29,500 --> 02:33:30,033
here in Pinole.

1265
02:33:31,066 --> 02:33:33,634
So as a member of the community, I'm just very

1266
02:33:33,700 --> 02:33:36,667
proud that our city has invested in these resources and

1267
02:33:36,667 --> 02:33:39,734
these supports for our neighbors and our community members.

1268
02:33:40,567 --> 02:33:41,333
Next slide, please.

1269
02:33:42,867 --> 02:33:45,266
All right, to get us grounded and a little bit

1270
02:33:45,266 --> 02:33:48,033
about the work that we do. Core stands for coordinated

1271
02:33:48,300 --> 02:33:51,533
outreach, referral and engagement. We are a housing focused street

1272
02:33:51,734 --> 02:33:52,100
outreach program.

1273
02:33:53,000 --> 02:33:55,333
That really is our secret sauce. We don't just give

1274
02:33:55,333 --> 02:33:58,734
out survival supplies and food and hygiene, but we really

1275
02:33:58,734 --> 02:34:01,500
are working to move folks from outside to inside through

1276
02:34:01,500 --> 02:34:07,066
engagement, trust, building support with shelter placement, housing placement, transportation,

1277
02:34:07,634 --> 02:34:10,300
et abatement supports, and really the list goes on. We'll

1278
02:34:10,300 --> 02:34:11,100
pretty much do it.

1279
02:34:11,300 --> 02:34:13,734
Whatever it takes to support somebody from getting outside from

1280
02:34:13,734 --> 02:34:15,734
inside, inside to outside.

1281
02:34:16,767 --> 02:34:20,634
Outside inside. We work very closely with Pinole police department.

1282
02:34:21,033 --> 02:34:24,100
We are tailoring our services to meet the needs. So

1283
02:34:24,100 --> 02:34:26,767
if it's business outreach, that's needed, we're at our businesses.

1284
02:34:26,767 --> 02:34:29,166
If we're in local hotspots, then that's where our, our

1285
02:34:29,166 --> 02:34:30,266
teams will be taking us.

1286
02:34:31,066 --> 02:34:32,500
And so a lot of the great work that we

1287
02:34:32,500 --> 02:34:35,333
have is really through that partnership and connection. Our core

1288
02:34:35,333 --> 02:34:39,000
members start our day by calling into, to Pinole dispatch.

1289
02:34:39,033 --> 02:34:41,834
We'll also call into El Cerrito dispatch when we're in

1290
02:34:42,367 --> 02:34:44,634
other cities to let's them know that we're here and

1291
02:34:44,634 --> 02:34:47,567
that we're taking referrals and to identify where the.

1292
02:34:48,367 --> 02:34:50,300
Where the hotspots are of that day or that week,

1293
02:34:50,300 --> 02:34:51,300
or that month.

1294
02:34:52,166 --> 02:34:53,033
Next slide, please.

1295
02:34:54,734 --> 02:34:56,533
All right. So a little bit of background of how

1296
02:34:56,533 --> 02:34:57,100
we got here.

1297
02:34:58,100 --> 02:35:02,166
Back in 24, 25, we started out with a Tri-City court

1298
02:35:02,166 --> 02:35:05,166
team that was comprised of cities of El Cerrito and

1299
02:35:05,233 --> 02:35:08,300
San Pablo in the county. That was really a recognition

1300
02:35:08,300 --> 02:35:10,000
that there was more of a need of street outreach

1301
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:13,033
services in west Contra Costa. Prior to that, we had

1302
02:35:13,166 --> 02:35:15,867
one all county team in west county, and then we

1303
02:35:15,867 --> 02:35:16,066
had.

1304
02:35:16,166 --> 02:35:18,834
A shared team in San Pablo and Richmond, and it

1305
02:35:18,834 --> 02:35:22,100
wasn't enough. And so that pilot was very successful. And

1306
02:35:22,100 --> 02:35:22,867
through that pilot,

1307
02:35:23,634 --> 02:35:25,567
the word spread. And we started to connect with Pinole

1308
02:35:25,567 --> 02:35:27,433
and Hercules, and that's where our.

1309
02:35:28,367 --> 02:35:30,000
Quad city team pilot began.

1310
02:35:31,066 --> 02:35:32,667
And so we are within our first six months of

1311
02:35:32,667 --> 02:35:35,867
our first year of this pilot, it's very successful. It's

1312
02:35:35,867 --> 02:35:38,634
going very well. And the remainder of this presentation will

1313
02:35:38,634 --> 02:35:41,266
be used to talk about our outcomes and our successes

1314
02:35:41,266 --> 02:35:42,000
over the last six months.

1315
02:35:43,700 --> 02:35:44,533
Next slide, please.

1316
02:35:46,166 --> 02:35:49,100
So this slide depicts some very kind of high level

1317
02:35:49,367 --> 02:35:52,333
housing needs in Pinole, a few data points that we

1318
02:35:52,333 --> 02:35:55,033
pulled. There's lots of numbers that go around, but we

1319
02:35:55,033 --> 02:35:57,266
have a, an annual point in time count Mount. I

1320
02:35:57,266 --> 02:35:58,834
don't know if folks are for familiar with that. It's

1321
02:35:58,834 --> 02:36:00,500
one day of the year where we do a account.

1322
02:36:01,500 --> 02:36:04,033
By no means is it representative of all the individuals

1323
02:36:04,100 --> 02:36:06,767
in the city, but it does give us snapshot. So

1324
02:36:06,767 --> 02:36:09,000
you can see in, in 2024,

1325
02:36:09,700 --> 02:36:11,734
there was a count of seven individuals on that one

1326
02:36:11,734 --> 02:36:15,033
night in January. And in 2025, it moved up to

1327
02:36:15,033 --> 02:36:18,367
12. We probably have another couple months before our 26th

1328
02:36:18,433 --> 02:36:19,533
data points will be out.

1329
02:36:20,567 --> 02:36:23,533
The second bar graph, depicts folks who lost their housing

1330
02:36:23,533 --> 02:36:24,033
in Pinole.

1331
02:36:25,133 --> 02:36:27,567
So we capture a lot of data with core. So

1332
02:36:27,567 --> 02:36:30,066
of all of our core teams, not just our quad

1333
02:36:30,066 --> 02:36:33,533
city team, but of all of our contacts in 20 24 30

1334
02:36:33,533 --> 02:36:36,300
individuals said that they lost their housing in Pinole. And

1335
02:36:36,300 --> 02:36:39,266
in 20 25, 40 individuals said that they lost their housing in

1336
02:36:39,266 --> 02:36:41,767
Pinole. And we like to look at that factor because

1337
02:36:41,767 --> 02:36:42,433
those who are.

1338
02:36:43,233 --> 02:36:45,767
Losing their housing is a good indicator of some of

1339
02:36:45,767 --> 02:36:48,033
those individuals might become unsheltered.

1340
02:36:48,767 --> 02:36:51,000
So looking at that metric is, is also helpful when

1341
02:36:51,000 --> 02:36:52,000
we're comparing year to year.

1342
02:36:52,934 --> 02:36:57,300
And then in looking at everybody's served by core in

1343
02:36:57,567 --> 02:36:59,634
the city of Pinole in 24, we.

1344
02:37:00,934 --> 02:37:04,033
Contacted 55 individuals. And in 2025 calendar year.

1345
02:37:04,767 --> 02:37:05,834
We contacted 81 individuals.

1346
02:37:07,066 --> 02:37:09,133
Individuals. It doesn't necessarily mean our numbers are going have

1347
02:37:09,133 --> 02:37:11,533
gone up that much. But what it means is that

1348
02:37:11,667 --> 02:37:13,634
we have more boots on the ground. And so we're

1349
02:37:13,634 --> 02:37:17,500
able to engage with more individuals. So in 2024, we

1350
02:37:17,500 --> 02:37:20,066
might have had more individuals, but core wasn't seeing them

1351
02:37:20,066 --> 02:37:22,033
cuz we didn't have that dedicated resource here.

1352
02:37:23,867 --> 02:37:24,634
Next slide, please.

1353
02:37:27,266 --> 02:37:27,734
All right.

1354
02:37:28,767 --> 02:37:30,433
So, so much of the work that we do here

1355
02:37:30,533 --> 02:37:32,767
is around community partnership and impact.

1356
02:37:33,767 --> 02:37:37,066
We have, have a strong partnership with this Pinole PD.

1357
02:37:38,100 --> 02:37:40,734
And, and get a lot of our information from them

1358
02:37:40,734 --> 02:37:43,367
around where the hotspots are, where the local business are,

1359
02:37:43,367 --> 02:37:45,266
where we should be focusing our attention.

1360
02:37:46,300 --> 02:37:48,734
And building relationships with businesses is.

1361
02:37:49,533 --> 02:37:51,266
Very important to get our word out into the community

1362
02:37:51,266 --> 02:37:53,033
that we're here and how to reach us.

1363
02:37:54,900 --> 02:37:55,533
Next slide, please.

1364
02:37:58,634 --> 02:37:59,900
So this slide shows

1365
02:38:00,767 --> 02:38:02,533
many, but not all of the businesses that we've been

1366
02:38:02,533 --> 02:38:05,066
in communication with over the last six months or so.

1367
02:38:05,900 --> 02:38:08,166
We do door-to-door outreach. We go to each of the

1368
02:38:08,500 --> 02:38:12,033
businesses, our core team will identify themselves. We'll share information

1369
02:38:12,033 --> 02:38:15,834
about the program. We'll provide business cards and we'll talk

1370
02:38:15,834 --> 02:38:18,900
to business owners, managers, store staff, so they know how

1371
02:38:18,900 --> 02:38:20,367
to reach us. And we'll say you can give us

1372
02:38:20,433 --> 02:38:21,734
a call on two 11.

1373
02:38:22,567 --> 02:38:24,567
Or let us know when folks are in your, in

1374
02:38:24,567 --> 02:38:26,634
the area and we will make sure to come by

1375
02:38:26,900 --> 02:38:28,433
and, and offer those services.

1376
02:38:29,533 --> 02:38:31,734
Services most recently, we've had a lot of success on

1377
02:38:31,734 --> 02:38:35,066
the Fitzgerald kind of business strip. We've worked closely with

1378
02:38:35,066 --> 02:38:38,900
the dollar tree, grocery outlet, O'Reilly auto parts. And they're

1379
02:38:38,900 --> 02:38:41,100
now calling us directly when they have folks that are

1380
02:38:41,100 --> 02:38:41,367
in their area.

1381
02:38:43,100 --> 02:38:46,500
And I, and one recent success, I think Lucky's identified

1382
02:38:46,500 --> 02:38:49,000
an individual recently. That was just kind of loitering.

1383
02:38:50,100 --> 02:38:52,066
In their, in their parking lots. And so they let

1384
02:38:52,066 --> 02:38:54,033
us know. And so of course come back and done

1385
02:38:54,166 --> 02:38:56,500
direct outreach to that individual. And they're now open to

1386
02:38:56,500 --> 02:38:57,533
services, which has been.

1387
02:38:58,300 --> 02:39:00,900
Wonderful. Next slide, please.

1388
02:39:03,433 --> 02:39:07,066
We also do a lot of outreach to our school

1389
02:39:07,166 --> 02:39:10,367
districts, Y M C a the senior center Pinole library,

1390
02:39:10,433 --> 02:39:12,300
when it was open, now it's closed, but we do

1391
02:39:12,300 --> 02:39:14,667
see folks that are in the creeks near the height

1392
02:39:14,667 --> 02:39:17,367
school. And so we are also making direct outreach to

1393
02:39:17,367 --> 02:39:19,867
those, to those locations. So folks that are.

1394
02:39:20,000 --> 02:39:21,533
Working there, know how to reach us.

1395
02:39:22,367 --> 02:39:24,367
And that the picture is the, is our core team,

1396
02:39:24,433 --> 02:39:27,100
our quad city core team. So that's Ellie and Kellyann.

1397
02:39:28,033 --> 02:39:29,834
They do incredible work here. They know our city.

1398
02:39:30,667 --> 02:39:34,300
Front to back. And our I'm definitely building wonderful relationships

1399
02:39:34,300 --> 02:39:36,266
with our unhoused community members.

1400
02:39:37,667 --> 02:39:39,634
I could go on and on, but I know we

1401
02:39:39,634 --> 02:39:42,066
have about 10 minutes or less for this presentation and

1402
02:39:42,066 --> 02:39:44,900
I will send the mic to Shelby. And she'll talk

1403
02:39:44,900 --> 02:39:45,900
a little bit about our outcomes.

1404
02:39:49,767 --> 02:39:52,266
Good evening. If you can go to the next slide.

1405
02:39:52,667 --> 02:39:54,834
Thank you so much. So I'm gonna go over some

1406
02:39:54,834 --> 02:39:58,100
of our data from the first half of the 25 26

1407
02:39:58,100 --> 02:39:59,567
fiscal year. Next slide.

1408
02:40:01,700 --> 02:40:04,000
All right. So all of our core teams in Pinole,

1409
02:40:04,133 --> 02:40:07,834
not just the quad city core team, they served 44

1410
02:40:07,834 --> 02:40:11,000
participants in the city of Pinole. And the first half

1411
02:40:11,000 --> 02:40:15,433
of the fiscal year they're set in individuals are 84%

1412
02:40:15,467 --> 02:40:18,000
like generous talking about, they have roots in Pinole.

1413
02:40:18,667 --> 02:40:21,133
That means they are from here. They have friends or

1414
02:40:21,133 --> 02:40:23,000
family here, their services are here.

1415
02:40:23,834 --> 02:40:26,300
So people tend to stay where they're from or where

1416
02:40:26,300 --> 02:40:27,100
they're familiar with.

1417
02:40:28,266 --> 02:40:31,000
Low income and loss of jobs were the leading causes

1418
02:40:31,000 --> 02:40:34,567
of homelessness that people reported when interacting with core.

1419
02:40:35,634 --> 02:40:39,667
75% of the individuals that engage with corn Pinole had

1420
02:40:39,834 --> 02:40:40,867
a disabling condition.

1421
02:40:41,734 --> 02:40:43,500
Which means this is a high need population.

1422
02:40:44,567 --> 02:40:48,066
12 individuals or 35% exited to stable housing.

1423
02:40:49,000 --> 02:40:50,333
And stable. That just means.

1424
02:40:51,233 --> 02:40:53,500
Could be to a shelter that could be permanently with

1425
02:40:53,500 --> 02:40:54,166
friends or family.

1426
02:40:55,066 --> 02:40:55,867
Or to their own unit.

1427
02:40:57,333 --> 02:41:01,300
And in 2024, that was a 52% increase.

1428
02:41:02,100 --> 02:41:04,166
So having this dedicated resource here in Pinole is a

1429
02:41:04,166 --> 02:41:06,567
really big deal to be able to exit our participants

1430
02:41:06,567 --> 02:41:07,333
to housing quickly.

1431
02:41:08,767 --> 02:41:13,000
68% of the individuals reported being first time homeless. That's

1432
02:41:13,000 --> 02:41:14,033
also a, a pretty big.

1433
02:41:15,066 --> 02:41:17,734
Stat that over half of the individuals at core serving

1434
02:41:17,734 --> 02:41:20,867
here in Pinole are experiencing homelessness for the first time.

1435
02:41:22,934 --> 02:41:26,834
And 49% of these contacts were made directly by the

1436
02:41:26,867 --> 02:41:29,000
Pinole core team or the quad city core team.

1437
02:41:29,834 --> 02:41:32,333
Which just means when we have a dedicated resource, we're

1438
02:41:32,333 --> 02:41:35,166
really able to serve the individuals in Pinole.

1439
02:41:36,367 --> 02:41:37,066
Next slide.

1440
02:41:39,867 --> 02:41:43,367
Okay. So specifically our quad city, our Pinole core team

1441
02:41:43,433 --> 02:41:44,767
let's look at those outcomes.

1442
02:41:45,700 --> 02:41:47,166
Outcomes. So for the first half of this fiscal year,

1443
02:41:48,166 --> 02:41:49,500
26 participants were served.

1444
02:41:50,567 --> 02:41:51,567
Unduplicated participants.

1445
02:41:52,767 --> 02:41:53,567
Through 46 contacts.

1446
02:41:55,066 --> 02:41:57,266
Contacts, there were 85 emergency supplies provided.

1447
02:41:58,467 --> 02:42:01,033
Provided a hundred services for housing coordination.

1448
02:42:02,100 --> 02:42:04,066
And 15 animal services. That means getting someone.

1449
02:42:05,133 --> 02:42:07,133
Connected to vaccines, micro chipping.

1450
02:42:08,000 --> 02:42:12,100
77% of the individuals served by the Pinole core team

1451
02:42:12,467 --> 02:42:15,433
lost their housing in west county. So not just necessarily

1452
02:42:15,433 --> 02:42:17,266
in Pinole, but in a west county city.

1453
02:42:18,533 --> 02:42:21,133
This really shows that participants are from here.

1454
02:42:22,533 --> 02:42:24,133
42% of the.

1455
02:42:25,033 --> 02:42:28,834
Women served by the Pinal core team, identify themselves as

1456
02:42:29,066 --> 02:42:30,834
domestic violence survivors, which is a pretty.

1457
02:42:31,834 --> 02:42:35,000
Important stat, I think. And there were 15 warming center

1458
02:42:35,000 --> 02:42:37,900
placements, which is our night by night shelters.

1459
02:42:39,066 --> 02:42:40,900
Shelters next slide.

1460
02:42:43,100 --> 02:42:45,834
All right. And I just wanna end on a success

1461
02:42:45,834 --> 02:42:46,000
story.

1462
02:42:47,066 --> 02:42:50,000
So core had been engaging with a chronically homeless individual

1463
02:42:50,100 --> 02:42:51,333
since 2017.

1464
02:42:52,166 --> 02:42:56,667
Off and on, although this individual did get into housing

1465
02:42:56,867 --> 02:42:59,166
briefly, they were not able to maintain it.

1466
02:43:00,433 --> 02:43:03,367
So core reconnected with them back in July of this

1467
02:43:03,367 --> 02:43:03,667
year.

1468
02:43:04,767 --> 02:43:07,500
And the focus really was to secure stable housing that

1469
02:43:07,500 --> 02:43:09,100
they could maintain on their own.

1470
02:43:10,500 --> 02:43:12,767
During this consistent engagement with core.

1471
02:43:13,700 --> 02:43:16,367
They were actually offered a permanent supportive housing opportunity.

1472
02:43:17,133 --> 02:43:21,900
In December, which is permanent housing with supportive services attached.

1473
02:43:23,000 --> 02:43:25,066
Upon receiving that housing and moving in.

1474
02:43:25,900 --> 02:43:28,333
They express joy relief, renewed sense of hope for their

1475
02:43:28,333 --> 02:43:28,667
future.

1476
02:43:29,700 --> 02:43:30,834
And it really shows when we.

1477
02:43:32,033 --> 02:43:35,367
Continuously engage maybe year after year contact, after contact. And

1478
02:43:35,367 --> 02:43:37,734
we're able to get people connected to housing that has

1479
02:43:37,767 --> 02:43:39,567
services that it works out.

1480
02:43:41,934 --> 02:43:43,000
And that is it for us.

1481
02:43:44,000 --> 02:43:45,066
Okay, happy to take questions.

1482
02:43:46,300 --> 02:43:49,266
Questions. All right, so we'll take some questions from council.

1483
02:43:49,300 --> 02:43:52,266
We'll start with council member Martinez, Ruben and work our

1484
02:43:52,266 --> 02:43:52,533
way.

1485
02:43:53,333 --> 02:43:57,634
Across. Thank you. I have three questions starting with a

1486
02:43:57,634 --> 02:44:00,066
success story. You know, that's a long time, a long

1487
02:44:00,066 --> 02:44:01,266
period to engage with someone.

1488
02:44:02,300 --> 02:44:05,634
When you indicated they were unable to maintain their housing.

1489
02:44:06,467 --> 02:44:07,166
What were the reasons for that?

1490
02:44:08,767 --> 02:44:12,567
The housing, sorry, let me stand up. the housing

1491
02:44:12,700 --> 02:44:15,634
that they were in, wasn't permanent supportive housing, so it

1492
02:44:15,634 --> 02:44:18,767
didn't come. It wasn't attached with those supportive services. And

1493
02:44:18,767 --> 02:44:20,166
those are really some of the key things that people

1494
02:44:20,233 --> 02:44:21,533
need when moving into housing.

1495
02:44:22,467 --> 02:44:24,500
Who have been unhoused for many years.

1496
02:44:25,333 --> 02:44:28,367
Is having that supportive services attached. That means you have

1497
02:44:28,367 --> 02:44:30,100
a case manager, maybe on site.

1498
02:44:30,867 --> 02:44:32,734
That's working with you week after weekday after day.

1499
02:44:34,000 --> 02:44:36,000
And working with you toward what goals.

1500
02:44:36,934 --> 02:44:39,734
Really in maintaining your housing, that could be building life

1501
02:44:39,734 --> 02:44:42,900
skills. Many of our participants haven't been in housing for

1502
02:44:42,900 --> 02:44:44,767
a long time, or maybe they've never been in their

1503
02:44:44,767 --> 02:44:48,033
own independent housing. So being able to build those life

1504
02:44:48,033 --> 02:44:51,066
skills, like budgeting, being able to go to the grocery

1505
02:44:51,066 --> 02:44:53,266
store on your own. There's a lot of those skills

1506
02:44:53,266 --> 02:44:54,734
that you may not have built.

1507
02:44:55,066 --> 02:44:56,333
If you haven't been in housing before.

1508
02:44:57,433 --> 02:44:59,433
Thank you. Yeah. So earlier.

1509
02:45:00,333 --> 02:45:03,066
There was mention of abatement support. And what came to

1510
02:45:03,066 --> 02:45:07,500
mind was the homeless quote, homelessness or unhoused camps, is

1511
02:45:07,500 --> 02:45:09,333
that where you were alluding to? And if.

1512
02:45:10,100 --> 02:45:11,533
So tell us more, if not.

1513
02:45:12,367 --> 02:45:14,834
Please tell us what you meant by abatement support.

1514
02:45:15,634 --> 02:45:17,834
Were you referencing the point in time? Count.

1515
02:45:19,000 --> 02:45:20,567
Sorry. Did you say it was early on in your

1516
02:45:20,567 --> 02:45:23,066
presentation and you mentioned that some, that some of what

1517
02:45:23,066 --> 02:45:26,500
you offer abatement support. So I wondered what that meant.

1518
02:45:26,867 --> 02:45:28,734
Okay. Yeah, no problem. I thought you were connecting it

1519
02:45:28,734 --> 02:45:31,300
to the pit, the point in time count. So, so

1520
02:45:31,300 --> 02:45:35,667
yeah, so core has abatement protocol. So if any jurisdiction,

1521
02:45:36,333 --> 02:45:36,734
public.

1522
02:45:37,133 --> 02:45:39,734
Works has an area that they're looking to abate. We

1523
02:45:39,734 --> 02:45:42,300
have a abatement protocol in a form that gets submitted

1524
02:45:42,300 --> 02:45:44,767
to core where we come out, we engage with those

1525
02:45:44,767 --> 02:45:47,867
individuals. We try to get them into services, offer supports,

1526
02:45:47,867 --> 02:45:50,000
and really try and move them along so that they're

1527
02:45:50,000 --> 02:45:52,166
not in impacted by an abatement. So we try to

1528
02:45:52,166 --> 02:45:52,567
come in.

1529
02:45:53,333 --> 02:45:56,300
Prior to somebody actually being abated and, and tagging an

1530
02:45:56,300 --> 02:45:59,533
encampment. And so we really work in partnership with, with

1531
02:45:59,533 --> 02:46:03,166
local jurisdictions to mitigate any of the, you know, impacts

1532
02:46:03,233 --> 02:46:05,734
of somebody being abated and getting all their items taken

1533
02:46:05,734 --> 02:46:07,533
away and how to move local location altogether.

1534
02:46:08,834 --> 02:46:09,433
Okay, thank you.

1535
02:46:10,667 --> 02:46:13,333
So if there is someone that is on the streets.

1536
02:46:14,100 --> 02:46:18,266
And appears to not be housed. What is the best

1537
02:46:18,266 --> 02:46:21,433
point of contact? Is it two 11? Is it our,

1538
02:46:21,734 --> 02:46:23,767
our Pinole police department? Dispatch number?

1539
02:46:24,767 --> 02:46:27,533
Or so that's one but related.

1540
02:46:28,667 --> 02:46:29,500
If there

1541
02:46:30,867 --> 02:46:32,266
appears to be items.

1542
02:46:33,333 --> 02:46:35,433
That belong to someone and those items are.

1543
02:46:37,266 --> 02:46:38,533
Under and overpass.

1544
02:46:40,300 --> 02:46:43,100
Yes. Would that be Caltrans? Mm-hmm so who, who

1545
02:46:43,100 --> 02:46:43,667
do we call?

1546
02:46:44,533 --> 02:46:47,433
Yeah. Yeah, it's a great question. We pulled that slide

1547
02:46:47,433 --> 02:46:50,033
because we were limited on time, but so there's a

1548
02:46:50,033 --> 02:46:51,533
couple different ways that you can reach us. You can

1549
02:46:51,533 --> 02:46:54,000
call two 11 and there's an option three to connect

1550
02:46:54,000 --> 02:46:56,166
with core. And then we have a menu of options

1551
02:46:56,767 --> 02:47:01,433
for community member law, law enforcement, PD, hospitals. So two

1552
02:47:01,533 --> 02:47:02,433
one is a great way to reach.

1553
02:47:02,900 --> 02:47:06,533
Us we're available seven days a week from 7:00 AM until

1554
02:47:06,767 --> 02:47:11,166
midnight and or community members can call Pinole non-emergency police.

1555
02:47:11,433 --> 02:47:14,000
And they have a way to reach us either their

1556
02:47:14,000 --> 02:47:15,767
direct core team and or 2, 1, 1.

1557
02:47:16,900 --> 02:47:18,667
The quad city team is not the only team that

1558
02:47:18,667 --> 02:47:20,900
works in the city. We also leverage many of our

1559
02:47:20,900 --> 02:47:23,533
other teams. We have teams dedicated to families, the reentry

1560
02:47:23,533 --> 02:47:26,433
population folks with high health needs. So we'll really try

1561
02:47:26,433 --> 02:47:29,000
and find a team that's available and, and dispatch them

1562
02:47:29,000 --> 02:47:29,166
out.

1563
02:47:30,533 --> 02:47:34,433
As it relates to the freeway overpasses that is Caltrans

1564
02:47:34,667 --> 02:47:34,767
property.

1565
02:47:35,767 --> 02:47:38,166
We do have a great relationship with Caltrans. We have

1566
02:47:38,166 --> 02:47:41,533
a couple state grants, encampment resolution grants. That's really opened

1567
02:47:41,667 --> 02:47:41,900
up.

1568
02:47:42,900 --> 02:47:45,533
Really nice communication channels with Caltran so that we do

1569
02:47:45,533 --> 02:47:48,033
coordinate with them when there is an area to abate.

1570
02:47:48,000 --> 02:47:50,900
But what we try to do is offer services and

1571
02:47:50,900 --> 02:47:54,100
engage. And re-engage, I've seen some folks under the overpasses

1572
02:47:54,100 --> 02:47:57,300
as of late, and they were very resistant to services,

1573
02:47:57,300 --> 02:47:59,667
but our team has been going out consistently and they're

1574
02:47:59,667 --> 02:48:00,433
now open to.

1575
02:48:01,000 --> 02:48:02,900
Speaking with us and working with us. So.

1576
02:48:03,533 --> 02:48:06,166
Oftentimes through kind of consistent engagement, we're able to make

1577
02:48:06,166 --> 02:48:06,667
inroads.

1578
02:48:07,767 --> 02:48:09,000
Inroads. We also have a lot of folks with high

1579
02:48:09,433 --> 02:48:13,033
mental health needs, substance use needs. And so we are

1580
02:48:13,033 --> 02:48:15,433
also working through some of those challenges and barriers and

1581
02:48:15,433 --> 02:48:19,033
will call in our mobile crisis teams if needed as

1582
02:48:19,033 --> 02:48:21,300
well as connect with other services. So it's kind of

1583
02:48:21,300 --> 02:48:23,100
a patchwork, but yeah.

1584
02:48:26,033 --> 02:48:26,433
Thank you.

1585
02:48:27,166 --> 02:48:28,767
So I'm thinking based on.

1586
02:48:30,100 --> 02:48:33,300
General experience with Caltrans Caltrans would not be the first

1587
02:48:33,667 --> 02:48:34,000
to call.

1588
02:48:35,433 --> 02:48:37,033
Would you concur?

1589
02:48:38,000 --> 02:48:41,900
Correct Caltrans. Isn't gonna provide services to those individuals. We

1590
02:48:41,900 --> 02:48:44,166
would be really the first ones to call, to communicate

1591
02:48:44,166 --> 02:48:44,767
with, to.

1592
02:48:45,533 --> 02:48:48,667
Support people from moving into a, a more habitable location,

1593
02:48:49,033 --> 02:48:51,667
more safe location. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay.

1594
02:48:52,533 --> 02:48:55,900
Council member Toms. Yes. Thank you for the presentation.

1595
02:48:57,533 --> 02:48:59,166
You mentioned, you know, that there's.

1596
02:49:00,533 --> 02:49:05,300
26 participants and you had 46 contacts. So you're contacting.

1597
02:49:06,433 --> 02:49:09,667
Several of them more than once. Correct. Is there an

1598
02:49:09,667 --> 02:49:10,000
advantage.

1599
02:49:10,900 --> 02:49:12,900
To them ultimately finding

1600
02:49:13,667 --> 02:49:16,667
services finding a room, finding a unit.

1601
02:49:17,767 --> 02:49:18,900
The more that you contact.

1602
02:49:19,767 --> 02:49:21,533
With them or is it really up to them to.

1603
02:49:22,667 --> 02:49:23,767
Be receptive to accepting.

1604
02:49:25,166 --> 02:49:28,166
Help. It's a really great question. It's a, it's a

1605
02:49:28,166 --> 02:49:32,433
both. And oftentimes those multiple contacts in the start are

1606
02:49:32,900 --> 02:49:36,033
used to build engagement and trust. Somebody that's been living

1607
02:49:36,033 --> 02:49:38,166
outside for many, many years is often not gonna say,

1608
02:49:38,166 --> 02:49:40,033
Hey, I'm gonna come with you to the shelf. I,

1609
02:49:40,300 --> 02:49:42,767
they might be comfortable living outside. They might.

1610
02:49:43,100 --> 02:49:45,033
Have been other traumas or reasons why they don't want

1611
02:49:45,033 --> 02:49:47,533
to come in. So we really do repeated contacts to

1612
02:49:47,667 --> 02:49:50,033
let them know what services we have available that, that

1613
02:49:50,033 --> 02:49:52,166
were folks that they can trust. And then we'll start

1614
02:49:52,300 --> 02:49:57,166
small. But those repeated contacts might look like taking somebody's

1615
02:49:57,166 --> 02:49:58,667
to the D M V to get a, an ID.

1616
02:49:58,900 --> 02:50:00,667
It might look like taking somebody to.

1617
02:50:01,533 --> 02:50:04,300
A local apartment complex to fill out an application to

1618
02:50:04,667 --> 02:50:08,900
a doctor's appointment. So repeated contacts really do help move

1619
02:50:09,000 --> 02:50:10,300
somebody from outside to inside.

1620
02:50:11,166 --> 02:50:13,166
And I didn't mention it, but you know, you can

1621
02:50:13,433 --> 02:50:16,033
probably see, we take data very seriously. And we have

1622
02:50:16,000 --> 02:50:18,900
a, we collect data on every contact that we provide,

1623
02:50:19,533 --> 02:50:23,000
every services that's given. And so through that, we're able

1624
02:50:23,000 --> 02:50:24,767
to kind of kind of connect the dots that those

1625
02:50:25,000 --> 02:50:26,433
contacts can help folks.

1626
02:50:27,533 --> 02:50:29,667
Ultimately move from, you know, into housing.

1627
02:50:30,433 --> 02:50:34,100
Excellent. Thank you. You're welcome. Can't remember, thank you both

1628
02:50:34,100 --> 02:50:36,667
for your presentation and, and also very proud at a

1629
02:50:36,667 --> 02:50:39,166
Pinole residents doing this very important work. We appreciate your

1630
02:50:39,166 --> 02:50:42,166
help. You're of the folks that you've served, who are

1631
02:50:42,166 --> 02:50:46,533
unhoused and Pinole, even after repeated con contact.

1632
02:50:47,533 --> 02:50:50,100
How, what percentage of those folks have not been receptive

1633
02:50:50,166 --> 02:50:50,433
to.

1634
02:50:51,166 --> 02:50:53,033
Getting resources or housing.

1635
02:50:53,900 --> 02:50:56,433
And receiving this. That's a great question. It's hard to

1636
02:50:56,433 --> 02:50:58,433
track that because the, we have to.

1637
02:51:00,100 --> 02:51:02,533
Somebody has to be open to giving us their demographic

1638
02:51:02,533 --> 02:51:04,433
information in order for us to.

1639
02:51:05,300 --> 02:51:08,000
Collect data on them. And we don't collect information on

1640
02:51:08,100 --> 02:51:08,667
who is.

1641
02:51:09,533 --> 02:51:12,100
Refusing services, but it's a really good question. And it's

1642
02:51:12,100 --> 02:51:14,767
something that we can look, look at is who, who

1643
02:51:14,767 --> 02:51:17,667
ends up, who does not is refusing services, but more

1644
02:51:17,667 --> 02:51:20,433
times than not with continued and repeat engagement, they do

1645
02:51:20,433 --> 02:51:22,900
open up over time, but it might take three or

1646
02:51:22,900 --> 02:51:27,166
four tens, sometimes 10 attempts, plus for somebody to say,

1647
02:51:27,166 --> 02:51:27,433
yes,

1648
02:51:27,767 --> 02:51:29,767
I'll give you our, my information and if they don't

1649
02:51:29,767 --> 02:51:32,033
want to, they don't have to, we'll take an alias.

1650
02:51:32,900 --> 02:51:35,300
Alias to, you know, to collect the information, to kind

1651
02:51:35,300 --> 02:51:37,667
of, you know, track the services that are being provided.

1652
02:51:37,900 --> 02:51:38,433
Great to hear.

1653
02:51:39,533 --> 02:51:42,000
You mentioned low income and loss of job with the

1654
02:51:42,000 --> 02:51:46,000
leading causes of homelessness also said 75% report, a disabling

1655
02:51:46,000 --> 02:51:48,533
condition from the folks that you have worked with.

1656
02:51:49,533 --> 02:51:51,033
Was the signaling condition. The reason.

1657
02:51:51,767 --> 02:51:54,767
Of job loss and, and being of a, a lower

1658
02:51:55,166 --> 02:51:57,667
income background mm-hmm or, or were those two not

1659
02:51:57,667 --> 02:51:58,000
connected.

1660
02:51:59,533 --> 02:52:00,433
They're not necessarily

1661
02:52:01,300 --> 02:52:03,900
connected. They're two separate questions on our, on our intake.

1662
02:52:04,433 --> 02:52:07,166
And when somebody says what led to your homelessness, they

1663
02:52:07,300 --> 02:52:10,166
can check off many boxes. Somebody can say job loss,

1664
02:52:10,533 --> 02:52:11,767
you know, they have a disability.

1665
02:52:12,533 --> 02:52:15,000
Divorce things of that nature, but those aren't connected. But

1666
02:52:15,000 --> 02:52:17,533
what we do look at is, you know, when, when

1667
02:52:17,533 --> 02:52:19,533
we do see a higher disabling conditions, it it's a

1668
02:52:19,533 --> 02:52:21,166
population has a much higher service need.

1669
02:52:22,100 --> 02:52:24,433
And so they're, you know, needing a higher number of

1670
02:52:24,433 --> 02:52:27,100
services. Gotcha. Mm-hmm thank you. My last question here

1671
02:52:27,533 --> 02:52:29,767
is about staff coordination with, with the city of Pinole.

1672
02:52:31,667 --> 02:52:34,433
Not all residents know about how great this program is

1673
02:52:34,433 --> 02:52:35,667
or, or that it even exists.

1674
02:52:36,533 --> 02:52:39,100
Exists. Most of the time residents will call.

1675
02:52:40,000 --> 02:52:43,000
Our our PD to assist on house residents.

1676
02:52:44,033 --> 02:52:48,033
Residents on, on the police side of things, desert officers

1677
02:52:48,033 --> 02:52:48,533
automatically.

1678
02:52:49,300 --> 02:52:54,100
Refer them to core. Do they work simultaneously with each

1679
02:52:54,100 --> 02:52:56,033
other to provide resources? Or how does that sort of

1680
02:52:56,033 --> 02:53:00,900
work? Yeah, another really great question. So they will Pinole

1681
02:53:01,000 --> 02:53:03,100
dispatch. So the quad city to team will start their

1682
02:53:03,100 --> 02:53:05,000
day and call in into dispatch. Let them know that

1683
02:53:05,000 --> 02:53:07,033
we're here. They'll put us on the board and then

1684
02:53:07,033 --> 02:53:07,100
if.

1685
02:53:07,900 --> 02:53:10,433
Non-emergency is getting calls for folks who are unhoused and

1686
02:53:10,433 --> 02:53:13,767
there's no other issue, any criminal matter, then they'll call

1687
02:53:13,900 --> 02:53:16,000
our quad city team directly. So they have our cell

1688
02:53:16,000 --> 02:53:18,000
phone numbers and then they'll call us. And they'll, it's

1689
02:53:18,000 --> 02:53:21,033
really an, an alternative response. It's diverting police away from,

1690
02:53:21,033 --> 02:53:24,033
you know, you know, community issues that, that don't involve

1691
02:53:24,100 --> 02:53:24,667
law enforcement.

1692
02:53:25,533 --> 02:53:27,900
So we take those referrals very, you know, directly from,

1693
02:53:28,000 --> 02:53:30,667
from dispatch. And we've done a lot of work in

1694
02:53:30,667 --> 02:53:32,667
our, continuing to build on that, to make sure that

1695
02:53:33,033 --> 02:53:36,533
all officers know our services, we've done some outreach and

1696
02:53:36,533 --> 02:53:38,900
meet and greets. I know Shelby's working currently to try

1697
02:53:38,900 --> 02:53:41,433
and set up some more time cuz officers change and,

1698
02:53:41,533 --> 02:53:41,900
you know,

1699
02:53:43,100 --> 02:53:46,433
the community kind of safety specialist changeover. And so it's

1700
02:53:46,433 --> 02:53:48,533
always important for us to kind of continue to let

1701
02:53:48,533 --> 02:53:50,433
folks know that we're here and what we do. Hey,

1702
02:53:50,433 --> 02:53:52,166
those are my questions. Thank you. You're welcome.

1703
02:53:53,900 --> 02:53:55,900
This is awesome. I mean, I, I know that we

1704
02:53:55,900 --> 02:53:56,000
talked.

1705
02:53:56,900 --> 02:53:59,000
When we first started this program, we really didn't have

1706
02:53:59,000 --> 02:54:00,166
too much data other than.

1707
02:54:01,000 --> 02:54:02,166
The work that you were doing beforehand.

1708
02:54:03,767 --> 02:54:07,000
Seeing the connection between the police department and your group

1709
02:54:07,100 --> 02:54:07,667
has been.

1710
02:54:08,300 --> 02:54:10,433
Been huge for us in, in Pinole. I can think

1711
02:54:10,433 --> 02:54:12,000
of maybe a couple times where.

1712
02:54:13,300 --> 02:54:17,100
I've seen unhoused and it looked more like drug addiction

1713
02:54:17,100 --> 02:54:18,433
looked mental health.

1714
02:54:19,433 --> 02:54:21,900
And with the kids and, you know, in Pinole, that's

1715
02:54:21,900 --> 02:54:25,767
kind of a rare scene on Fitzgerald, but to know

1716
02:54:25,767 --> 02:54:28,900
that there's a service there to help people is, is

1717
02:54:28,900 --> 02:54:29,300
fantastic.

1718
02:54:31,433 --> 02:54:34,100
I'm seeing this working in the data's great. And my

1719
02:54:34,433 --> 02:54:34,767
question is.

1720
02:54:37,100 --> 02:54:37,433
I guess

1721
02:54:38,433 --> 02:54:42,033
what would be the max of your services? I mean,

1722
02:54:42,100 --> 02:54:42,300
if.

1723
02:54:43,166 --> 02:54:45,667
Where you were saying, Hey, we need more help. Or,

1724
02:54:45,767 --> 02:54:48,166
you know, like I, I'm seeing 81 people that, that

1725
02:54:48,166 --> 02:54:49,900
to me seems like a lot of, a lot of

1726
02:54:49,900 --> 02:54:50,000
people.

1727
02:54:51,300 --> 02:54:52,767
How I, I guess, gauging.

1728
02:54:53,533 --> 02:54:54,900
In, in the world of, of.

1729
02:54:55,900 --> 02:54:58,900
This work is that normal? Is that.

1730
02:54:59,767 --> 02:55:01,033
Comfortable comfortable.

1731
02:55:01,900 --> 02:55:04,100
Size population to be working with with the city of

1732
02:55:04,100 --> 02:55:04,433
Pinole.

1733
02:55:06,300 --> 02:55:07,900
What, what are you seeing? I guess?

1734
02:55:09,100 --> 02:55:10,166
In in, in this work.

1735
02:55:11,900 --> 02:55:14,166
It's I don't it's, it's hard to say, cuz we're

1736
02:55:14,166 --> 02:55:16,300
only within our first six months of our mm-hmm ,

1737
02:55:16,300 --> 02:55:18,000
you know, work here. So I, I, I don't really

1738
02:55:18,000 --> 02:55:20,767
have like a comparison point, but when you look at

1739
02:55:20,767 --> 02:55:23,533
other cities, like for example, El Cerrito, we have kind

1740
02:55:23,533 --> 02:55:25,900
of similar numbers with our first six months of services.

1741
02:55:25,900 --> 02:55:26,166
It's a.

1742
02:55:27,166 --> 02:55:30,433
There's not a huge unhoused need, but there's enough where

1743
02:55:31,033 --> 02:55:34,667
it's growing and, and that by providing that resources and

1744
02:55:34,667 --> 02:55:38,533
support, we're able to, you know, move folks inside and

1745
02:55:38,533 --> 02:55:40,100
it, you know, reduces the number of people who are

1746
02:55:40,100 --> 02:55:43,000
continuing to live outside. So I think with the next,

1747
02:55:43,100 --> 02:55:44,767
you know, six months or so, we'll have a better.

1748
02:55:45,300 --> 02:55:48,166
Kind of okay. Data set to look at and then

1749
02:55:48,166 --> 02:55:50,300
kind of year over year. So different cities that have

1750
02:55:50,300 --> 02:55:53,100
invested in core over many, many years, we can see

1751
02:55:53,100 --> 02:55:55,533
that some, you know, three years looking back, what are

1752
02:55:55,533 --> 02:55:57,900
your numbers now? And where are they at? Future doesn't

1753
02:55:57,900 --> 02:56:00,533
necessarily mean that core is the reason why that numbers

1754
02:56:00,533 --> 02:56:02,900
aren't going up or down necessarily, but you can't kind

1755
02:56:02,900 --> 02:56:03,166
of gauge.

1756
02:56:04,667 --> 02:56:07,166
Those services? Well, I mean, just seeing loss of job.

1757
02:56:08,000 --> 02:56:11,166
Mm-hmm the economy. I, I guess what I'm thinking

1758
02:56:11,300 --> 02:56:12,000
is is that.

1759
02:56:12,900 --> 02:56:14,166
Is there a point where you have to scale your

1760
02:56:14,166 --> 02:56:15,166
operations up?

1761
02:56:16,000 --> 02:56:18,033
And what would that number mm-hmm look like and

1762
02:56:18,033 --> 02:56:20,900
how do we as a city help when that scale

1763
02:56:20,900 --> 02:56:24,000
happens? Mm-hmm I, I know that the communication is

1764
02:56:24,000 --> 02:56:26,900
pretty tight between Pinole. I'm just trying to understand where,

1765
02:56:26,900 --> 02:56:27,433
where does the.

1766
02:56:28,767 --> 02:56:30,166
The Hey, we need more help.

1767
02:56:31,100 --> 02:56:34,033
Button. Yeah, we, I mean, we're all we always need.

1768
02:56:34,300 --> 02:56:37,166
We always need more, more services. So our quad city

1769
02:56:37,166 --> 02:56:40,433
team, so currently Pinole Hercules share a third of a

1770
02:56:40,433 --> 02:56:42,767
team. So a team is 40 hours a week. El

1771
02:56:42,767 --> 02:56:46,000
Cerrito has 33% of those, a hours sample Pablo's 33%

1772
02:56:46,000 --> 02:56:48,100
in the then Pinole and Hercules were sharing those days.

1773
02:56:49,100 --> 02:56:51,100
So the more boots on the ground that we have,

1774
02:56:51,100 --> 02:56:54,166
the better we are to, you know, address the need

1775
02:56:54,166 --> 02:56:57,000
when it's coming up. We're not 9 1 1. So we can't

1776
02:56:57,100 --> 02:56:59,166
have a, an immediate response. When we get a call,

1777
02:56:59,166 --> 02:57:00,900
we have to triage our calls based on kind of

1778
02:57:00,900 --> 02:57:03,433
the needs coming in. But yeah, I, I would say

1779
02:57:03,433 --> 02:57:06,100
that we're, we're kind of getting to that point and

1780
02:57:06,166 --> 02:57:06,900
I think once we.

1781
02:57:07,166 --> 02:57:09,033
Close out this year, we'll be able to look back

1782
02:57:09,166 --> 02:57:12,166
from 20, you know, from 25 to 26, to see

1783
02:57:12,166 --> 02:57:14,000
how, you know, what those increases have been.

1784
02:57:15,033 --> 02:57:17,000
What I w I do wanna share is that.

1785
02:57:17,900 --> 02:57:20,166
Looking at other cities, the number of first time homeless

1786
02:57:20,166 --> 02:57:22,667
and Pinole is very high. So that 60, I think

1787
02:57:22,667 --> 02:57:23,767
it was 68%.

1788
02:57:24,533 --> 02:57:26,667
And I think our more recent data point was I

1789
02:57:26,667 --> 02:57:29,900
think up to 70% of folks that were contacting Pinole

1790
02:57:29,900 --> 02:57:30,767
our first time homeless.

1791
02:57:31,667 --> 02:57:34,533
Which means that they recently lost their housing, they're new

1792
02:57:34,533 --> 02:57:38,100
on the streets. And that's a really great opportunity to

1793
02:57:38,100 --> 02:57:39,166
support people, to move.

1794
02:57:40,166 --> 02:57:42,300
Into housing, the longer you're outside, the harder it is

1795
02:57:42,300 --> 02:57:44,033
to get yourself out of that situation.

1796
02:57:45,000 --> 02:57:48,000
So I, I would wanna plug the city of El

1797
02:57:48,000 --> 02:57:48,433
Cerrito.

1798
02:57:50,000 --> 02:57:52,433
Has a housing security fund. So they have kind of

1799
02:57:52,433 --> 02:57:55,100
like a flexible fund it's I think around $15,000 a

1800
02:57:55,100 --> 02:57:59,000
year. And it supports, you know, flex funding, short term

1801
02:57:59,166 --> 02:58:01,300
kind of needs. So if somebody needs a gas card

1802
02:58:01,433 --> 02:58:04,000
to get to work, that's gonna get them their income

1803
02:58:04,000 --> 02:58:05,900
in order to get into housing that we can provide

1804
02:58:05,900 --> 02:58:07,767
with that. If somebody, if we have a.

1805
02:58:08,000 --> 02:58:10,100
Family with their kids who are living in their car

1806
02:58:10,100 --> 02:58:12,667
and their unit's gonna be coming up in the next

1807
02:58:12,667 --> 02:58:14,300
couple of weeks. We can put them into a hotel.

1808
02:58:14,300 --> 02:58:16,000
So the kids aren't having to live in a car.

1809
02:58:17,433 --> 02:58:19,900
Help with depo first and last month's deposit. So.

1810
02:58:20,900 --> 02:58:22,166
Those are some of the interventions that we are looking

1811
02:58:22,166 --> 02:58:24,533
at as successful kind of ways to support those who

1812
02:58:24,533 --> 02:58:26,900
are first time homeless. So that when I was looking

1813
02:58:26,900 --> 02:58:28,667
at the data, that was what was standing out.

1814
02:58:29,667 --> 02:58:32,533
Another couple data points that stood out was the increase

1815
02:58:32,667 --> 02:58:36,900
in from 24 to 25 of our youth, our children.

1816
02:58:37,100 --> 02:58:39,767
So children and families, as well as our seniors. So

1817
02:58:39,767 --> 02:58:42,166
we're looking at vulnerable populations as well. That's also, those

1818
02:58:42,166 --> 02:58:44,767
are also, you know, things that we can consider and

1819
02:58:44,767 --> 02:58:46,767
how we kind of tailor our approach and our services.

1820
02:58:47,767 --> 02:58:50,300
Cuz not all in-house community members are somebody who's been

1821
02:58:50,300 --> 02:58:52,533
outside for 20 years. Right. We have folks that are,

1822
02:58:52,533 --> 02:58:55,000
have just lost their housing and others who, you know,

1823
02:58:55,000 --> 02:58:57,166
haven't did you have a general idea of the age

1824
02:58:57,166 --> 02:58:57,667
group?

1825
02:58:58,667 --> 02:58:59,000
That were

1826
02:59:01,667 --> 02:59:03,300
we're in Pinole that may have lost housing.

1827
02:59:05,166 --> 02:59:07,900
We, I don't have a specific, I don't have age

1828
02:59:07,900 --> 02:59:10,033
groups of those first time homeless, but it is something

1829
02:59:10,033 --> 02:59:12,100
that we can come, I can come back with, but

1830
02:59:12,100 --> 02:59:14,533
we do have just general kind of brackets of our

1831
02:59:14,533 --> 02:59:16,433
kind of age ranges of those who we have served.

1832
02:59:16,433 --> 02:59:18,767
And, and I'm happy to put, provide. We have all

1833
02:59:18,767 --> 02:59:21,433
of our demographic information. We can, you know, provide them

1834
02:59:21,433 --> 02:59:22,166
right. We do provide monthly.

1835
02:59:22,667 --> 02:59:26,300
Reports on a semi-annual that can be reviewed great as

1836
02:59:26,300 --> 02:59:28,166
well. I think the only.

1837
02:59:29,000 --> 02:59:30,900
Thing. The only other question I have is if.

1838
02:59:32,033 --> 02:59:35,000
If I know, like let's say I'm, I know that.

1839
02:59:36,000 --> 02:59:38,033
In three months, like, you know, I just lost my

1840
02:59:38,033 --> 02:59:38,100
job.

1841
02:59:39,433 --> 02:59:42,533
In two months, I am going to be in.

1842
02:59:43,433 --> 02:59:47,000
In trouble. Does that prohibit me from contacting core?

1843
02:59:48,166 --> 02:59:52,433
Early, I guess I'm trying to understand. Yeah, no, it's

1844
02:59:52,433 --> 02:59:55,000
a great question rather than wait till the two weeks

1845
02:59:55,000 --> 02:59:57,300
before I'm I'm about to be homeless or.

1846
02:59:58,100 --> 02:59:58,433
Already homeless.

1847
03:00:00,300 --> 03:00:04,533
There's there's a stigma there that individuals might be experiencing

1848
03:00:04,533 --> 03:00:06,667
when they know, Hey, I have to pull the plug

1849
03:00:06,667 --> 03:00:08,667
on this apartment. Mm-hmm in order to be able

1850
03:00:08,667 --> 03:00:09,433
to feed my family.

1851
03:00:10,300 --> 03:00:12,900
While I'm in a car until I can get work.

1852
03:00:13,533 --> 03:00:15,000
I'm trying to figure out, is there a service.

1853
03:00:16,166 --> 03:00:18,533
There is, or, or do you provide like prevent mm-hmm

1854
03:00:18,667 --> 03:00:21,033
so I'm just trying to connect the dots

1855
03:00:21,000 --> 03:00:23,533
where if somebody is it's going bad.

1856
03:00:24,300 --> 03:00:26,767
We know it's going bad. Yep. And how do we

1857
03:00:27,033 --> 03:00:30,000
kind of ease that transition to core and then back

1858
03:00:30,000 --> 03:00:32,667
into housing well, hope what we would love to

1859
03:00:32,667 --> 03:00:35,100
do is prevent them from losing their housing altogether. Right.

1860
03:00:35,100 --> 03:00:36,767
And so what I would tell that family as to

1861
03:00:36,767 --> 03:00:40,166
call 2, 1, 1, and to ask for prevention resources, cuz they'res

1862
03:00:40,533 --> 03:00:42,166
resources that can help somebody. If you're back.

1863
03:00:42,667 --> 03:00:45,000
PA, you know, if you're, you know, back due on

1864
03:00:45,000 --> 03:00:47,166
rent, maybe you were out of work for a period

1865
03:00:47,166 --> 03:00:48,767
of time and now you have a job and you

1866
03:00:48,767 --> 03:00:50,767
can pay your rent, but you're in arrears or your

1867
03:00:50,767 --> 03:00:53,433
utilities bills are in arrears. So there's prevention programs. It's

1868
03:00:53,433 --> 03:00:55,166
not core, but we work very closely with the other

1869
03:00:55,166 --> 03:00:58,000
prevention, you know, providers. So we would say call 2, 1 11

1870
03:00:58,000 --> 03:01:00,433
and see if there's any prevention dollars that that would.

1871
03:01:00,900 --> 03:01:05,433
Help. If they're unable, perhaps prevention isn't available or they're

1872
03:01:05,433 --> 03:01:08,166
not eligible for that resource, then they can most definitely

1873
03:01:08,166 --> 03:01:11,667
contact contact core. But our work really is to work

1874
03:01:11,667 --> 03:01:14,667
with folks who are unhoused and living outside. It doesn't

1875
03:01:14,667 --> 03:01:16,433
mean that we can't, you know, support somebody who's gonna

1876
03:01:16,433 --> 03:01:17,433
be losing their housing.

1877
03:01:19,533 --> 03:01:22,000
For example with El Cerita with their housing security fund,

1878
03:01:22,533 --> 03:01:24,667
we core does support folks who are in that exact

1879
03:01:24,667 --> 03:01:25,667
situation. So.

1880
03:01:26,433 --> 03:01:28,300
We will work with people who are about to lose

1881
03:01:28,300 --> 03:01:31,433
their housing and then core will facilitate that, that check

1882
03:01:31,433 --> 03:01:34,000
cutting and to support them with maintaining their housing.

1883
03:01:36,100 --> 03:01:38,433
Thank you for that. I I'm, I'm glad that there

1884
03:01:38,433 --> 03:01:41,166
is that because we always talk about the services right

1885
03:01:41,166 --> 03:01:45,166
after something traumatic happens, but there's almost like a.

1886
03:01:46,433 --> 03:01:47,667
A way to kind of ease.

1887
03:01:48,533 --> 03:01:52,000
Into that not so good situation so that it doesn't

1888
03:01:52,000 --> 03:01:54,533
break you. Right? I mean, that's typically where I think

1889
03:01:54,767 --> 03:01:56,533
you're running into people that have just.

1890
03:01:57,533 --> 03:02:00,166
Lost everything and, and are dealing with the mental trauma

1891
03:02:00,433 --> 03:02:00,900
for that.

1892
03:02:01,667 --> 03:02:03,533
Where there's a way to kind of, you know, let

1893
03:02:03,900 --> 03:02:04,033
somebody.

1894
03:02:05,100 --> 03:02:08,000
Y out into, into that situation. Easier. Absolutely.

1895
03:02:09,300 --> 03:02:11,433
Okay, well, no, I, those were my questions and, and.

1896
03:02:12,166 --> 03:02:14,900
Thank you for the responses. We'll go to public comment.

1897
03:02:15,767 --> 03:02:16,433
For the presentation.

1898
03:02:19,533 --> 03:02:21,166
We have Raphael menace.

1899
03:02:22,100 --> 03:02:24,433
And then Anthony Val spring online. Great. Thank you.

1900
03:02:25,300 --> 03:02:25,433
Go ahead, speaker.

1901
03:02:29,033 --> 03:02:32,166
Good evening, mayor council, staff, mayors, public mayors, Rael mass

1902
03:02:32,533 --> 03:02:35,533
resident Pinole. I apologies for not being there in person

1903
03:02:35,533 --> 03:02:38,166
this evening, but I'm unwell going into more details on

1904
03:02:38,166 --> 03:02:39,433
that drinks as to be heard.

1905
03:02:42,033 --> 03:02:43,166
I have some questions.

1906
03:02:44,166 --> 03:02:47,433
Questions about the slide on page 18, the co Pinole.

1907
03:02:48,533 --> 03:02:50,900
July through December, basically slide.

1908
03:02:52,533 --> 03:02:53,667
Were there any cases?

1909
03:02:54,433 --> 03:02:57,667
Where the rent being raised was the cause of someone

1910
03:02:58,033 --> 03:02:59,767
becoming homeless or was it just.

1911
03:03:00,533 --> 03:03:02,433
Loss of income led to.

1912
03:03:03,433 --> 03:03:05,166
Becoming homeless more directly.

1913
03:03:07,033 --> 03:03:07,433
Secondly

1914
03:03:10,033 --> 03:03:11,533
I'm not quite sure how to match up all the

1915
03:03:11,533 --> 03:03:11,900
numbers.

1916
03:03:12,767 --> 03:03:14,100
Because if you go to say.

1917
03:03:15,900 --> 03:03:18,300
The first page where you see numbers, page 13, where

1918
03:03:18,300 --> 03:03:20,433
it's housing needs a Pinole. You've got a point in

1919
03:03:20,433 --> 03:03:21,100
time. Count of.

1920
03:03:22,000 --> 03:03:25,300
12 lost housing of 40 served by core of.

1921
03:03:26,166 --> 03:03:29,433
81. So one question I have there is.

1922
03:03:30,300 --> 03:03:32,767
When you've got 30 lost housing and no in 24

1923
03:03:32,767 --> 03:03:35,300
and 40 lost housing and Pinole in 25.

1924
03:03:36,300 --> 03:03:38,000
How much of an overlap is there between.

1925
03:03:39,033 --> 03:03:40,100
30 and 40

1926
03:03:41,166 --> 03:03:43,900
are ALS of the 30 from the prior year included

1927
03:03:44,033 --> 03:03:46,667
in the 40. Is it 40 new people? Is it

1928
03:03:46,667 --> 03:03:48,667
a mix? Do you have data, a granular.

1929
03:03:49,900 --> 03:03:53,100
Enough level to be able to track people in that

1930
03:03:53,166 --> 03:03:53,433
way.

1931
03:03:55,166 --> 03:03:55,767
Secondly

1932
03:03:59,000 --> 03:04:02,667
just figuring out the number of people that you serve,

1933
03:04:02,667 --> 03:04:05,433
because going back again to page 18, you have 44

1934
03:04:05,667 --> 03:04:07,166
unduplicated participants served.

1935
03:04:08,433 --> 03:04:12,900
And then on page 19, you say there's 26 participants

1936
03:04:13,100 --> 03:04:15,000
served through 46 contacts.

1937
03:04:16,300 --> 03:04:17,667
Contacts. And so

1938
03:04:20,433 --> 03:04:22,000
I, I guess my question is.

1939
03:04:23,533 --> 03:04:25,900
Is it 44 people that you served or is it

1940
03:04:25,900 --> 03:04:27,433
26 people that you served?

1941
03:04:29,300 --> 03:04:33,100
And then finally with regards to the success story.

1942
03:04:35,000 --> 03:04:37,000
I'm assuming this person is still.

1943
03:04:37,900 --> 03:04:40,000
In supportive housing, but I just wanna double check on

1944
03:04:40,000 --> 03:04:42,300
that and make sure, because right now the story reads,

1945
03:04:42,300 --> 03:04:44,767
like it basically ends in 25 with the person.

1946
03:04:45,900 --> 03:04:48,000
Entering supportive housings. I want to be sure that.

1947
03:04:49,000 --> 03:04:51,667
They're continuing to be in supportive housing.

1948
03:04:56,000 --> 03:04:56,166
And

1949
03:04:57,000 --> 03:04:58,900
I guess that's all my comments on this side. Thank

1950
03:04:58,900 --> 03:04:59,000
you.

1951
03:05:01,066 --> 03:05:04,767
Okay. So the questions that we got what's the 26th.

1952
03:05:06,000 --> 03:05:07,867
Just real quick. If we can answer that.

1953
03:05:08,834 --> 03:05:10,700
That comment. And then the supportive housing one.

1954
03:05:11,734 --> 03:05:14,000
Yeah. So the, the 44.

1955
03:05:14,934 --> 03:05:17,533
I believe the, let me, let me go back to

1956
03:05:17,533 --> 03:05:18,000
my slides.

1957
03:05:19,133 --> 03:05:19,533
So the first

1958
03:05:21,934 --> 03:05:23,033
I just wanna make sure I have my numbers.

1959
03:05:24,066 --> 03:05:24,100
Correct.

1960
03:05:26,634 --> 03:05:30,300
Yes. So those 44 unduplicated participants, those were.

1961
03:05:31,100 --> 03:05:32,867
Touches by all of our core teams. So we have

1962
03:05:32,867 --> 03:05:36,900
23 core teams that are funded, so all of our

1963
03:05:36,900 --> 03:05:39,667
court. So this, that slide was looking at any, any.

1964
03:05:40,467 --> 03:05:41,900
Any one of our core teams that touched somebody in

1965
03:05:41,900 --> 03:05:42,900
Pinole, those were our data.

1966
03:05:43,700 --> 03:05:47,734
Outputs, the following slide is specific to the, the quad

1967
03:05:47,734 --> 03:05:48,266
city team.

1968
03:05:49,033 --> 03:05:52,367
So the quad city team, our Pinole core team, they

1969
03:05:52,367 --> 03:05:56,000
touch 26 participants through those 46 contacts. So that is

1970
03:05:56,233 --> 03:05:57,634
specific to the team that's funded.

1971
03:05:58,367 --> 03:06:00,467
And as Shelby was sharing that.

1972
03:06:01,567 --> 03:06:04,000
That, that quad city team made about half of our

1973
03:06:04,000 --> 03:06:06,100
contacts on the city of Pinole. So we're doing the

1974
03:06:06,100 --> 03:06:08,133
quad city. Team's doing a lot of work here, basically.

1975
03:06:08,367 --> 03:06:11,133
So we're looking at all core teams contacts versus just

1976
03:06:11,133 --> 03:06:14,700
the team contacts from the funded team. Great. Thank you

1977
03:06:14,700 --> 03:06:18,000
for, for that and this, for this success story support.

1978
03:06:18,333 --> 03:06:19,000
Yeah. The individuals.

1979
03:06:19,900 --> 03:06:23,634
Is still housed and that housing is deeply subsidized housing

1980
03:06:24,133 --> 03:06:26,700
and those housing units are for folks with.

1981
03:06:28,000 --> 03:06:30,934
Some type of disabling or chronic condition. So most of

1982
03:06:30,934 --> 03:06:33,133
the time they're just working to pay their rent and

1983
03:06:33,133 --> 03:06:35,300
keep things moving. But yeah, they are definitely still.

1984
03:06:36,066 --> 03:06:37,634
Successfully housed. Right.

1985
03:06:38,333 --> 03:06:40,367
Okay, so we'll go to the next speaker.

1986
03:06:41,300 --> 03:06:42,133
Anthony Voss.

1987
03:06:49,066 --> 03:06:50,367
Mr. Voss, Frank, you might be muted.

1988
03:06:51,500 --> 03:06:55,900
Muted. Oh, hello. Can you hear me? Yes. Yeah, we

1989
03:06:55,900 --> 03:06:56,033
got you.

1990
03:06:57,867 --> 03:06:59,000
Oh, yes, I, I was.

1991
03:07:00,066 --> 03:07:02,000
Wondering were the public

1992
03:07:03,834 --> 03:07:04,233
info here.

1993
03:07:05,934 --> 03:07:08,433
I, it wasn't clear whether your service.

1994
03:07:09,433 --> 03:07:11,900
Core that is, or your core service.

1995
03:07:13,133 --> 03:07:14,100
The field work.

1996
03:07:14,934 --> 03:07:17,000
People that go out and make the field call the

1997
03:07:17,000 --> 03:07:17,533
field worker.

1998
03:07:18,333 --> 03:07:20,433
Contact people are they

1999
03:07:22,000 --> 03:07:23,634
first level people, are they professionally?

2000
03:07:24,467 --> 03:07:26,734
Trained or do you have different levels of.

2001
03:07:28,266 --> 03:07:29,867
Expertise that work with

2002
03:07:30,934 --> 03:07:32,100
with people out in the field.

2003
03:07:33,033 --> 03:07:36,634
For the speaker, your contacts. And is that a 24 7

2004
03:07:36,900 --> 03:07:39,233
service or is just your switchboard?

2005
03:07:40,100 --> 03:07:42,100
Operator at 24 7.

2006
03:07:43,133 --> 03:07:46,233
Service that operates seven days a week around the clock.

2007
03:07:48,000 --> 03:07:49,233
And then with regard to.

2008
03:07:50,734 --> 03:07:53,133
Loiters or panhandles and things like that.

2009
03:07:55,100 --> 03:08:00,066
You know, I, I I've experienced firsthand or secondhand, like.

2010
03:08:01,033 --> 03:08:02,433
You know, there might be one person in front of

2011
03:08:02,500 --> 03:08:04,100
a retail store on a corner.

2012
03:08:05,033 --> 03:08:07,100
Then again, there might be two like a husband and

2013
03:08:07,100 --> 03:08:09,867
wife team. And then again, there's like three or four.

2014
03:08:09,867 --> 03:08:11,900
Maybe they take a whole family.

2015
03:08:12,900 --> 03:08:16,000
I seen from time to time, be it at the

2016
03:08:16,166 --> 03:08:20,033
trader Joe's shopping center, sprout shopping center up on Fitzer

2017
03:08:20,000 --> 03:08:20,433
drive.

2018
03:08:21,433 --> 03:08:23,133
Fitzgerald drive. And then next thing you know, they're jumping

2019
03:08:23,266 --> 03:08:26,100
into a late model van, whether they came from another

2020
03:08:26,166 --> 03:08:26,500
city.

2021
03:08:27,500 --> 03:08:30,700
Or within our town deer track the people that come

2022
03:08:30,700 --> 03:08:30,934
from.

2023
03:08:31,700 --> 03:08:35,033
Outside of Pinal and entrepreneur. And then how would you

2024
03:08:35,033 --> 03:08:37,533
recommend or suggest as well as the.

2025
03:08:38,734 --> 03:08:43,000
Police department. How, how, how would the public be addressing

2026
03:08:43,000 --> 03:08:44,000
those people? Like.

2027
03:08:45,333 --> 03:08:47,667
The the, the panhandler sort of speak.

2028
03:08:50,934 --> 03:08:54,100
Would you, would you say, go ahead and donate and

2029
03:08:54,100 --> 03:08:55,867
give them food that they need?

2030
03:08:56,667 --> 03:09:00,667
And or some, some monetary money and, and so on,

2031
03:09:00,667 --> 03:09:02,000
so forth. And then how would you.

2032
03:09:03,767 --> 03:09:04,233
Deal with

2033
03:09:05,634 --> 03:09:07,900
I don't know the correct term, but people are moving

2034
03:09:07,900 --> 03:09:10,900
around, you know, like nomads across. I don't want to

2035
03:09:10,900 --> 03:09:13,900
use the word transient, but Mr. ****, you have 45

2036
03:09:13,900 --> 03:09:14,000
seconds.

2037
03:09:15,934 --> 03:09:19,166
I've seen a few people like that. One case in

2038
03:09:19,166 --> 03:09:19,433
point.

2039
03:09:20,266 --> 03:09:22,767
He he's, he's a young, young man. Like he looks

2040
03:09:22,767 --> 03:09:24,533
like he's in his twenties, maybe.

2041
03:09:25,433 --> 03:09:27,533
And I, I think he has, I I've talked to

2042
03:09:27,533 --> 03:09:27,700
him.

2043
03:09:28,667 --> 03:09:31,000
Once or twice. And, and, and he has a dog,

2044
03:09:31,166 --> 03:09:31,634
you know,

2045
03:09:32,467 --> 03:09:34,233
and it's a two part question here. It's a nice.

2046
03:09:35,900 --> 03:09:38,700
Alaskan Husky, a brown and white Alaskan Husky.

2047
03:09:39,500 --> 03:09:41,900
And he is a middle-aged young, Caucasian gentleman.

2048
03:09:42,734 --> 03:09:46,100
And he moves around from like certain times of the

2049
03:09:46,100 --> 03:09:49,533
day. He'll be in Hercules around the Hercules strip mall.

2050
03:09:51,000 --> 03:09:54,867
Center acro across from the post office and by, by

2051
03:09:55,033 --> 03:09:57,133
one or two of those restaurants with his dog.

2052
03:09:58,000 --> 03:09:59,433
And then another time you see him walking.

2053
03:10:00,767 --> 03:10:02,100
Okay, thank thank you, speaker.

2054
03:10:04,100 --> 03:10:06,133
I'm not sure if there was any questions.

2055
03:10:07,300 --> 03:10:10,700
Questions in there, but questions. Yeah.

2056
03:10:11,834 --> 03:10:13,367
I'm happy to address it. Thank you. If you would.

2057
03:10:13,367 --> 03:10:15,433
Yeah. Yeah. I'm happy. I was gonna say that, that

2058
03:10:15,433 --> 03:10:16,667
we could answer .

2059
03:10:17,567 --> 03:10:20,233
But please go ahead. I was trying to, to track

2060
03:10:20,233 --> 03:10:21,233
them as best as I can.

2061
03:10:22,000 --> 03:10:24,133
So I think the first question was around kind of

2062
03:10:24,133 --> 03:10:27,467
the, the background of our field-based teams, our outreach staff,

2063
03:10:28,000 --> 03:10:32,100
majority of them have lived experience. So there's no, they're

2064
03:10:32,100 --> 03:10:35,533
not mental health clinicians. We don't have an educational background.

2065
03:10:35,567 --> 03:10:38,000
You don't need to have a bachelor's degree. We really

2066
03:10:38,000 --> 03:10:39,133
look for folks that are.

2067
03:10:40,066 --> 03:10:44,033
Compassionate and are, want to do the work and, and

2068
03:10:44,133 --> 03:10:46,266
some recent staff services that we've done. I think about

2069
03:10:46,266 --> 03:10:49,367
80% of our team has lived experience. So they've either

2070
03:10:49,533 --> 03:10:51,767
been unhoused. They have family members who have been unhoused.

2071
03:10:51,767 --> 03:10:54,667
And when you can, can connect with some and can

2072
03:10:54,667 --> 03:10:56,300
understand where they're coming from, it really helps to build

2073
03:10:56,333 --> 03:10:58,000
out engagement. I think that.

2074
03:10:58,166 --> 03:11:00,467
That's a part of our success is that our teams

2075
03:11:01,066 --> 03:11:02,033
have walked the walk.

2076
03:11:03,100 --> 03:11:06,734
I think the second question was around our hours of

2077
03:11:06,767 --> 03:11:10,367
operation. We're not 24 7. We operate seven days a week

2078
03:11:10,367 --> 03:11:13,867
from 7:00 AM until midnight. The majority of our teams are

2079
03:11:13,867 --> 03:11:16,867
operational Monday through Friday. So after hours it's more limit

2080
03:11:17,033 --> 03:11:19,900
in on the weekends, it's limited, but all of those.

2081
03:11:20,667 --> 03:11:23,266
Calls come in through core dispatch through calling two 11

2082
03:11:23,500 --> 03:11:25,767
and pressing pound three.

2083
03:11:27,734 --> 03:11:29,467
I think the next question was around.

2084
03:11:30,533 --> 03:11:32,667
Kind of how to handle loitering and panhandling.

2085
03:11:33,900 --> 03:11:36,500
So it really is a personal decision. How folks want

2086
03:11:36,533 --> 03:11:38,533
to address, if you wanna give money or you wanna

2087
03:11:38,533 --> 03:11:43,166
give food, we recommend providing services and letting folks know

2088
03:11:43,166 --> 03:11:47,133
how to get services. Our closest service center multi service

2089
03:11:47,133 --> 03:11:49,934
center is in Richmond. It's at the greater Richmond interface

2090
03:11:49,934 --> 03:11:50,100
program.

2091
03:11:51,133 --> 03:11:52,734
Interfaith program, you can get meals there. You can get

2092
03:11:52,734 --> 03:11:57,367
some light case management. There's also a shelter in Richmond

2093
03:11:57,367 --> 03:11:59,934
called the bay area rescue mission. So we would much,

2094
03:12:00,166 --> 03:12:03,000
we would be directing people into services rather than providing

2095
03:12:03,266 --> 03:12:06,033
cash, but it is everyone's choice.

2096
03:12:07,634 --> 03:12:10,533
And we really try and work with local law enforcement

2097
03:12:10,567 --> 03:12:13,667
so that we're not stepping over into an area. That's

2098
03:12:13,667 --> 03:12:16,367
not ours. If anything is criminal in nature, that's not

2099
03:12:16,367 --> 03:12:19,100
for core to address, but if it's social needs and

2100
03:12:19,100 --> 03:12:21,433
that's definitely something that we will be, that we will

2101
03:12:21,433 --> 03:12:25,100
be assisting with. So somebody is sleeping in, in.

2102
03:12:25,233 --> 03:12:28,100
A business doorway. We can go in there and check

2103
03:12:28,100 --> 03:12:30,367
in with them. See how they're doing. Offer, offer services.

2104
03:12:31,700 --> 03:12:35,100
Services and, and kind of on that. I, I, I

2105
03:12:35,100 --> 03:12:37,700
didn't mention it and it's probably implied, but all of

2106
03:12:37,700 --> 03:12:41,100
our services are voluntary, so we can't force anyone to,

2107
03:12:41,500 --> 03:12:43,667
to connect with us. So regarding the gentleman with the

2108
03:12:43,667 --> 03:12:47,000
dog, it core has, you know, we're, we're.

2109
03:12:48,066 --> 03:12:51,100
We're very familiar with many, if not all of the

2110
03:12:51,100 --> 03:12:53,734
unhoused community members here in Pinole and will continue to

2111
03:12:53,734 --> 03:12:56,867
offer services. And if somebody says, Nope, we don't wanna

2112
03:12:56,867 --> 03:12:59,133
talk to you. We will give some distance. We will

2113
03:12:59,233 --> 03:13:01,000
return and come back. But if at a certain point

2114
03:13:01,000 --> 03:13:02,667
of they say, I have a no interest in, in

2115
03:13:02,667 --> 03:13:05,033
your services. We'll, we'll cool off for a minute.

2116
03:13:06,000 --> 03:13:08,467
But we can't force anyone to take, to take, to

2117
03:13:08,467 --> 03:13:10,634
take anything that we're we're given out or to, you

2118
03:13:10,634 --> 03:13:11,300
know, take our services.

2119
03:13:12,667 --> 03:13:15,100
Services, but through continued engagement more times than not, they

2120
03:13:15,100 --> 03:13:16,634
open up over a period of time.

2121
03:13:17,700 --> 03:13:19,133
Fantastic. I think that was.

2122
03:13:20,100 --> 03:13:21,634
I think that was most of them. I think I

2123
03:13:21,634 --> 03:13:24,700
cut. Yeah. Okay. So we'll bring it back to council.

2124
03:13:24,767 --> 03:13:25,166
Any comments?

2125
03:13:26,333 --> 03:13:27,667
Comments council members decide

2126
03:13:29,567 --> 03:13:32,033
thank you mayor I'd have some comments. A few questions

2127
03:13:32,100 --> 03:13:34,867
actually came up after some follow up here.

2128
03:13:35,700 --> 03:13:39,900
You mentioned the housing flex fund from El Cerrito, $15,000

2129
03:13:39,934 --> 03:13:43,767
annually that they budgeted for, what type of materials or

2130
03:13:43,767 --> 03:13:45,767
services do they provide through that fund? And is it

2131
03:13:45,767 --> 03:13:48,900
complimentary to what you all do and, and, and is

2132
03:13:48,934 --> 03:13:49,100
core.

2133
03:13:50,133 --> 03:13:53,300
Responsible for requesting those funds from the city who approves

2134
03:13:53,300 --> 03:13:55,000
it. Mm-hmm tell me how that kind of works

2135
03:13:55,000 --> 03:13:58,133
there. Yeah, so they, it it's part of their contract.

2136
03:13:58,166 --> 03:14:01,467
So they are contracting with core for our service provision.

2137
03:14:01,467 --> 03:14:03,166
And then there is a line in their budget for

2138
03:14:03,166 --> 03:14:05,767
the housing secure fund. So that money comes over to.

2139
03:14:06,734 --> 03:14:08,767
To core. And then we are working with the city

2140
03:14:08,867 --> 03:14:11,233
for approval. When those requests come in for the housing

2141
03:14:11,300 --> 03:14:12,033
flex fund.

2142
03:14:13,467 --> 03:14:15,433
I think we have, I, I don't have it off

2143
03:14:15,433 --> 03:14:18,133
the top, our breakdown, but it could be a hoteling,

2144
03:14:18,233 --> 03:14:21,767
some short, some like a security deposit, but we do

2145
03:14:21,834 --> 03:14:23,133
track all of the.

2146
03:14:24,100 --> 03:14:26,467
Checks that we cut to understand kind of what, you

2147
03:14:26,467 --> 03:14:29,033
know, what kind of funding we're providing to support somebody

2148
03:14:29,033 --> 03:14:29,934
from getting into housing.

2149
03:14:30,734 --> 03:14:33,133
Gotcha. But it comes straight to core. And then we

2150
03:14:33,133 --> 03:14:35,367
partner with the city to approve all, any check that

2151
03:14:35,367 --> 03:14:35,700
we cut.

2152
03:14:36,467 --> 03:14:38,500
Makes sense has El Cerrito used all of their housing?

2153
03:14:40,000 --> 03:14:42,233
Security funds at the end of a fiscal school year.

2154
03:14:43,467 --> 03:14:46,100
Last year we did. I think we might have left

2155
03:14:46,133 --> 03:14:49,033
a little change on the table. Mm-hmm and I

2156
03:14:49,033 --> 03:14:51,033
pardoned me up, I think, are we, was it, it

2157
03:14:51,033 --> 03:14:52,767
might have been 15 the first year. Is it 25

2158
03:14:52,767 --> 03:14:55,533
this year? 20. So they increased it. So 15 was,

2159
03:14:55,533 --> 03:14:58,233
I believe there first year for their first pilot year

2160
03:14:58,266 --> 03:15:00,667
and this year, because we were pretty successful with it.

2161
03:15:00,667 --> 03:15:01,100
They increas.

2162
03:15:01,433 --> 03:15:03,467
Increased it to 25,000 to give us enough of a

2163
03:15:03,467 --> 03:15:03,667
buffer.

2164
03:15:04,667 --> 03:15:07,033
I, I don't know if we're halfway spent at this

2165
03:15:07,033 --> 03:15:10,000
point. We're about halfway we're about halfway spent. So we're

2166
03:15:10,000 --> 03:15:11,300
right where we would like to be at this point

2167
03:15:11,300 --> 03:15:12,133
in time, in the year.

2168
03:15:13,033 --> 03:15:15,233
Great. Thank you. And just wanna say.

2169
03:15:16,467 --> 03:15:18,166
You know, our PD does an amazing job at humanizing.

2170
03:15:19,133 --> 03:15:21,300
These folks when they do interact with, with unhoused people.

2171
03:15:22,166 --> 03:15:25,100
And so this is so important, especially during a time

2172
03:15:25,100 --> 03:15:25,634
when a lot of.

2173
03:15:26,500 --> 03:15:29,500
Cities are particularly trying to be more punitive and, and

2174
03:15:30,100 --> 03:15:32,934
criminalizing homelessness. This is an even going to force treatment.

2175
03:15:33,767 --> 03:15:35,133
This is such an essential service.

2176
03:15:36,100 --> 03:15:37,667
And I'm con I'm very.

2177
03:15:38,533 --> 03:15:42,634
Concerned about like many people, HR, one cuts, cuts to

2178
03:15:42,867 --> 03:15:43,033
Medicaid.

2179
03:15:44,100 --> 03:15:47,033
The mayor mentioned the economy and how that, that may

2180
03:15:47,033 --> 03:15:48,934
affect folks in the coming years.

2181
03:15:50,667 --> 03:15:51,900
Bless you and

2182
03:15:53,033 --> 03:15:55,266
yeah. Just curious to see whether or not the need

2183
03:15:55,266 --> 03:15:57,900
for this increases of your next year's and, and, and

2184
03:15:57,900 --> 03:15:59,500
would love to support any way that we, we could

2185
03:15:59,500 --> 03:16:02,000
as a council. So that's my comments. Thanks mayor. Great.

2186
03:16:03,000 --> 03:16:06,233
Okay. Seeing no other comments, wanna thank you for coming

2187
03:16:06,300 --> 03:16:09,467
out and look forward to the six month report for

2188
03:16:09,467 --> 03:16:10,133
the annual data.

2189
03:16:11,166 --> 03:16:13,233
You're welcome. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you.

2190
03:16:14,000 --> 03:16:14,133
Have a good evening.

2191
03:16:16,767 --> 03:16:19,100
Okay, so moving on to.

2192
03:16:20,834 --> 03:16:25,133
Eight B three update the 2008 neighborhood traffic calming policy.

2193
03:16:26,100 --> 03:16:30,100
City. Yes. Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor, we have

2194
03:16:30,333 --> 03:16:32,433
your public works director coming up.

2195
03:16:33,233 --> 03:16:35,433
And she is here to present the update on the

2196
03:16:35,433 --> 03:16:35,934
2000.

2197
03:16:36,834 --> 03:16:38,300
The traffic calming policy update.

2198
03:16:44,233 --> 03:16:44,934
Good evening.

2199
03:16:47,333 --> 03:16:49,300
If, if I may just take.

2200
03:16:50,166 --> 03:16:51,934
One minute of your time.

2201
03:16:52,867 --> 03:16:53,266
To thank you.

2202
03:16:55,133 --> 03:16:57,033
For recognizing Arab Americans.

2203
03:17:09,000 --> 03:17:13,133
I worked under a number of governing bodies over the

2204
03:17:13,133 --> 03:17:13,367
years.

2205
03:17:15,767 --> 03:17:18,467
Never witnessed such recognition.

2206
03:17:19,333 --> 03:17:22,300
Except for pinhole. This is this second year in a

2207
03:17:22,300 --> 03:17:23,767
row. So thank you very much.

2208
03:17:30,834 --> 03:17:31,367
With that.

2209
03:17:33,033 --> 03:17:35,467
I would like to share with you some.

2210
03:17:36,667 --> 03:17:37,867
Brief information on

2211
03:17:39,233 --> 03:17:42,667
of the neighborhood traffic coming program.

2212
03:17:45,834 --> 03:17:48,233
And depending on your

2213
03:17:49,033 --> 03:17:52,233
interest in more details. I'll be happy to bring the

2214
03:17:52,266 --> 03:17:53,100
item back.

2215
03:17:54,000 --> 03:17:56,934
With the track change document for approval.

2216
03:17:57,767 --> 03:18:01,734
Either as a consent item or as a, a new

2217
03:18:02,133 --> 03:18:02,934
business item.

2218
03:18:05,133 --> 03:18:06,133
Next page, please.

2219
03:18:11,900 --> 03:18:14,467
The reason we are bringing.

2220
03:18:15,500 --> 03:18:19,667
This brief presentation on traffic coming in this meeting.

2221
03:18:20,734 --> 03:18:25,767
Is because you, the active transportation plan.

2222
03:18:27,066 --> 03:18:29,233
Will come before you for approval.

2223
03:18:30,000 --> 03:18:31,100
In the next council meeting.

2224
03:18:32,266 --> 03:18:35,634
And there is reference to the update of the traffic

2225
03:18:35,667 --> 03:18:36,533
calming policy.

2226
03:18:37,634 --> 03:18:42,300
The existing policy was first the, the developed in 2008.

2227
03:18:43,166 --> 03:18:45,166
And as you know, the capital.

2228
03:18:46,000 --> 03:18:48,033
Improvement plan has

2229
03:18:49,033 --> 03:18:50,767
an annual traffic calming project.

2230
03:18:52,000 --> 03:18:57,000
Although this year, we're not utilizing the funds for individual

2231
03:18:57,033 --> 03:18:58,133
traffic calming projects.

2232
03:18:59,500 --> 03:19:00,767
Projects we combine this fund.

2233
03:19:01,900 --> 03:19:04,500
As part of the pavement rehabilitation project.

2234
03:19:05,934 --> 03:19:09,233
That will be vetted out for construction.

2235
03:19:10,333 --> 03:19:12,533
Within a week to 10 days.

2236
03:19:14,367 --> 03:19:18,734
For implementation of three flat top speed homes on Pinole

2237
03:19:18,734 --> 03:19:20,667
valley road. And also because of.

2238
03:19:21,634 --> 03:19:26,166
The H sub grant is not sufficient for rectangular, rapid.

2239
03:19:27,133 --> 03:19:28,767
Flashing beacon that will be installed.

2240
03:19:29,567 --> 03:19:32,934
At Pinal valley road and Savage. So we're adding to

2241
03:19:33,000 --> 03:19:33,500
that cost.

2242
03:19:34,367 --> 03:19:38,667
That's why we did not pursue additional implementation this fiscal

2243
03:19:38,734 --> 03:19:39,100
year.

2244
03:19:40,367 --> 03:19:42,133
But it is budgeted.

2245
03:19:43,166 --> 03:19:45,734
For 200,000 per year.

2246
03:19:47,133 --> 03:19:48,000
Which will

2247
03:19:49,734 --> 03:19:52,467
will come before you as part of the budget.

2248
03:19:53,233 --> 03:19:55,500
Was the same amount for your consideration.

2249
03:19:57,467 --> 03:19:58,367
Next slide, please.

2250
03:20:02,166 --> 03:20:03,033
This slide.

2251
03:20:04,066 --> 03:20:06,033
Will briefly describe

2252
03:20:07,834 --> 03:20:08,767
the review elements.

2253
03:20:10,000 --> 03:20:11,667
Elements contained in the policy to.

2254
03:20:12,467 --> 03:20:15,133
Assess request for traffic calming projects.

2255
03:20:16,266 --> 03:20:17,533
Traffic coming in general.

2256
03:20:18,533 --> 03:20:21,433
Is best implemented on an area wide basis.

2257
03:20:22,567 --> 03:20:24,467
To avoid diverting traffic.

2258
03:20:25,233 --> 03:20:27,900
To, to neighboring areas or to parallel.

2259
03:20:29,033 --> 03:20:31,433
Corridors and the policy.

2260
03:20:32,266 --> 03:20:35,900
Contains a process for initiating a petition.

2261
03:20:37,767 --> 03:20:39,867
For the city staff review.

2262
03:20:40,667 --> 03:20:43,700
And consideration and relation to a number.

2263
03:20:44,467 --> 03:20:45,533
Of determining factors.

2264
03:20:46,734 --> 03:20:49,934
Depending on the size of the, the project, if it's

2265
03:20:49,934 --> 03:20:53,700
not site specific, but more as an area wide basis.

2266
03:20:55,133 --> 03:20:58,133
It comes before the traffic and pedestrian safety.

2267
03:20:59,133 --> 03:21:01,634
Committee for the review and recommendations.

2268
03:21:02,333 --> 03:21:03,734
And followed by

2269
03:21:04,667 --> 03:21:07,000
consideration and approval by the city council.

2270
03:21:08,300 --> 03:21:09,266
Next slide, please.

2271
03:21:17,500 --> 03:21:19,033
There are a number.

2272
03:21:20,066 --> 03:21:23,433
Of criteria that we would like to revise.

2273
03:21:24,467 --> 03:21:28,000
Revise. And we also would like to add a few

2274
03:21:28,000 --> 03:21:29,367
additional criteria.

2275
03:21:30,834 --> 03:21:32,667
The first one, the current.

2276
03:21:33,433 --> 03:21:38,133
Policy requires that the corridor would have at least.

2277
03:21:38,934 --> 03:21:41,033
$1,500 vehicle. I'm sorry.

2278
03:21:42,000 --> 03:21:44,266
1500 vehicles per day.

2279
03:21:45,734 --> 03:21:47,266
And 150.

2280
03:21:48,066 --> 03:21:51,500
Vehicles per hour, that's higher than a local street. The,

2281
03:21:51,500 --> 03:21:52,767
the highway capacity manual.

2282
03:21:54,300 --> 03:21:57,467
Has a provision of about a thousand vehicle per day

2283
03:21:57,934 --> 03:21:58,934
for a local street.

2284
03:21:59,900 --> 03:22:04,033
We would like to make it more, less stringent.

2285
03:22:05,333 --> 03:22:05,634
By

2286
03:22:07,500 --> 03:22:10,533
changing right. The criteria to local streets.

2287
03:22:11,500 --> 03:22:12,767
Or minor residential.

2288
03:22:13,767 --> 03:22:19,033
Collectors because traffic coming could be implemented on collectors trees

2289
03:22:19,100 --> 03:22:22,667
D depending on the surrounding land uses and the need.

2290
03:22:23,700 --> 03:22:27,300
To reduce the, the vehicle traffic volumes and speeds along

2291
03:22:27,333 --> 03:22:28,100
these streets.

2292
03:22:29,033 --> 03:22:33,300
And designed the corridors to better fit the community's need.

2293
03:22:34,166 --> 03:22:36,100
And within residential communities.

2294
03:22:37,033 --> 03:22:39,233
And I mentioned Pinal valley road, for example.

2295
03:22:40,500 --> 03:22:40,867
That

2296
03:22:42,667 --> 03:22:46,166
the flat off speed hums will be implemented in the

2297
03:22:46,166 --> 03:22:48,467
vicinity of the soccer fields.

2298
03:22:49,233 --> 03:22:52,700
And the school so it's affected by the surrounding land

2299
03:22:52,700 --> 03:22:53,033
users.

2300
03:22:55,533 --> 03:22:58,233
The second criteria within the policy.

2301
03:22:59,233 --> 03:23:02,867
Requires that the 67% of motorists.

2302
03:23:03,700 --> 03:23:05,166
Exceed 25 mile per hour.

2303
03:23:07,634 --> 03:23:08,033
Which

2304
03:23:09,033 --> 03:23:13,000
somewhat unusual and staff currently has to weigh in to

2305
03:23:13,000 --> 03:23:14,000
come up with the 60.

2306
03:23:14,934 --> 03:23:16,000
Seven percentile.

2307
03:23:17,367 --> 03:23:21,533
The speed surveys identified the 80 Fs percentile speed. That's

2308
03:23:21,533 --> 03:23:22,133
the speed.

2309
03:23:22,934 --> 03:23:26,367
At or below which 85% of the motorists travel.

2310
03:23:28,000 --> 03:23:32,000
So the speed surveys typically provide the 85 percentile speed.

2311
03:23:32,834 --> 03:23:34,000
The median and average.

2312
03:23:35,300 --> 03:23:38,100
So for staff to try to weigh in and come

2313
03:23:38,100 --> 03:23:40,867
up with a percentage is somewhat complicated.

2314
03:23:42,000 --> 03:23:43,767
And also the, the speed limit.

2315
03:23:44,667 --> 03:23:48,533
Is set based on the 85th percentile speed. So we

2316
03:23:48,533 --> 03:23:49,233
would like to.

2317
03:23:50,000 --> 03:23:54,133
Simplify the calculations and make it more consistent with typical.

2318
03:23:54,934 --> 03:24:01,367
Guidelines. The, the third criteria that's existing within the policy.

2319
03:24:03,000 --> 03:24:05,133
Is for the street to have.

2320
03:24:06,567 --> 03:24:08,000
One lean per direction.

2321
03:24:09,033 --> 03:24:10,100
If it's a two way roadway.

2322
03:24:11,533 --> 03:24:14,867
Or one travel lane. If it's a one way street.

2323
03:24:15,700 --> 03:24:18,300
However again, that there will be circumstances.

2324
03:24:19,100 --> 03:24:22,667
Where the roadway could potentially have one lane and a

2325
03:24:22,667 --> 03:24:26,166
center two-way left turn lane, or two lanes per direction,

2326
03:24:26,533 --> 03:24:27,900
but still be applicable.

2327
03:24:28,834 --> 03:24:29,934
So we would like to.

2328
03:24:32,166 --> 03:24:35,133
Lessen the restriction under this criteria.

2329
03:24:36,066 --> 03:24:39,433
And I would very much appreciate your feedback on, on

2330
03:24:39,433 --> 03:24:40,033
these comments.

2331
03:24:41,033 --> 03:24:44,367
Comments, we also would like to add.

2332
03:24:45,734 --> 03:24:49,500
Consideration of the abutting land uses schools.

2333
03:24:50,533 --> 03:24:53,734
Senior housing. We recently

2334
03:24:55,133 --> 03:24:58,266
requested funding, for example, for a ha signal and a

2335
03:24:58,266 --> 03:25:01,300
new crossing in front of the signal, the senior housing

2336
03:25:01,634 --> 03:25:03,100
on, on San Pablo.

2337
03:25:04,066 --> 03:25:08,700
Avenue. So there are, there are circumstances that would warrant

2338
03:25:09,066 --> 03:25:12,433
the establishment of traffic coming and traffic control devices.

2339
03:25:14,166 --> 03:25:16,767
Says, and we would like also to take into consideration

2340
03:25:16,900 --> 03:25:18,233
visibility conditions.

2341
03:25:19,300 --> 03:25:24,000
Whether at intersection corners, the side triangles or along the,

2342
03:25:24,033 --> 03:25:28,867
the roadway, segments themselves and safety conditions in consideration.

2343
03:25:29,567 --> 03:25:30,767
Of the collision statistics.

2344
03:25:31,900 --> 03:25:34,634
And the contributing factors to these collisions, whether.

2345
03:25:35,700 --> 03:25:37,166
Excessive speeding or

2346
03:25:38,166 --> 03:25:41,533
contributing factors that could be mitigated through traffic coming.

2347
03:25:45,100 --> 03:25:46,100
Next slide, please.

2348
03:25:53,066 --> 03:25:54,133
The this slide.

2349
03:25:55,667 --> 03:25:57,133
Identifies in general.

2350
03:25:58,000 --> 03:26:02,634
Terms, the various elements of traffic coming that could be.

2351
03:26:03,767 --> 03:26:06,100
Considered and, and one of.

2352
03:26:07,133 --> 03:26:09,767
The important elements is safety.

2353
03:26:10,533 --> 03:26:12,700
Education and enforcement. It's not just.

2354
03:26:13,767 --> 03:26:16,667
The physical devices, it has to be supported.

2355
03:26:18,000 --> 03:26:20,533
By enhancing public awareness.

2356
03:26:21,433 --> 03:26:23,500
Of the travel behaviors.

2357
03:26:24,667 --> 03:26:25,533
Behaviors along the, the streets.

2358
03:26:27,066 --> 03:26:32,734
And, and we, again, we submitted a grant application for,

2359
03:26:33,100 --> 03:26:36,133
to the office of traffic safety for a safety education

2360
03:26:36,667 --> 03:26:36,867
campaign.

2361
03:26:38,333 --> 03:26:42,000
Signage and pavement markings the effect, the visual.

2362
03:26:42,934 --> 03:26:46,500
Influence on the motorist traveling behavior.

2363
03:26:48,033 --> 03:26:49,133
The crosswalk.

2364
03:26:50,000 --> 03:26:52,667
Shown at the top. That's actually in Morgan hill.

2365
03:26:54,166 --> 03:26:55,000
The left.

2366
03:26:56,066 --> 03:26:59,033
Bottom photo that's in Culver city.

2367
03:27:00,066 --> 03:27:03,100
And those designs were actually implemented by volunteers.

2368
03:27:04,100 --> 03:27:07,867
They, they painted these areas at night. We just implemented

2369
03:27:07,867 --> 03:27:09,900
traffic control plans to secure.

2370
03:27:10,734 --> 03:27:12,634
Their efforts and it

2371
03:27:14,066 --> 03:27:17,233
they, they are very proud of their effort as part

2372
03:27:17,233 --> 03:27:18,500
of this project.

2373
03:27:20,900 --> 03:27:26,233
The implementation, the design and implementation of multi-modal facilities.

2374
03:27:27,300 --> 03:27:32,467
Appropriate sidewalk, sidewalk quits, where that's accessible.

2375
03:27:33,734 --> 03:27:35,433
And provide amenities.

2376
03:27:37,266 --> 03:27:42,100
For seating, like furniture amenities for at bus stops and,

2377
03:27:42,166 --> 03:27:42,934
and so forth.

2378
03:27:45,000 --> 03:27:45,300
The bicycle.

2379
03:27:46,166 --> 03:27:48,000
Facilities was all its classes.

2380
03:27:48,834 --> 03:27:52,367
Whether it's class two regular bike lanes with buffer or

2381
03:27:52,367 --> 03:27:53,367
without, or.

2382
03:27:54,166 --> 03:27:56,000
Class four was physical.

2383
03:27:57,066 --> 03:27:58,634
Devices within the buffer.

2384
03:28:00,300 --> 03:28:04,533
And of course provision for the Mo motorist.

2385
03:28:05,433 --> 03:28:09,767
Travel lane. And whether it's serves trucks or, or not.

2386
03:28:11,000 --> 03:28:13,533
On street parking can also play a role.

2387
03:28:14,667 --> 03:28:18,700
In affecting the, the travel speeds and in safety conditions

2388
03:28:18,867 --> 03:28:19,266
in general.

2389
03:28:20,567 --> 03:28:23,266
This photo in the middle right hand side.

2390
03:28:24,266 --> 03:28:25,700
Shows the rear

2391
03:28:26,900 --> 03:28:28,634
end parking.

2392
03:28:29,433 --> 03:28:33,033
AR which actually enhances visibility of the driver.

2393
03:28:34,000 --> 03:28:37,000
To be able to see upcoming cyclists.

2394
03:28:38,333 --> 03:28:40,300
And cars traveling along.

2395
03:28:41,433 --> 03:28:43,467
The, the abutting, the direction.

2396
03:28:45,100 --> 03:28:49,500
And of course, landscaping and street furniture to change the

2397
03:28:49,533 --> 03:28:50,133
overall.

2398
03:28:50,934 --> 03:28:53,033
Environment of the roadway.

2399
03:28:53,767 --> 03:28:56,033
And, and it

2400
03:28:57,033 --> 03:28:57,033
allow

2401
03:28:59,567 --> 03:29:02,934
to become more pleasant for the communities together.

2402
03:29:03,900 --> 03:29:05,700
Because there is safety in numbers.

2403
03:29:06,533 --> 03:29:07,900
The, and it affects

2404
03:29:08,834 --> 03:29:10,934
affects it affects the overall environment.

2405
03:29:11,700 --> 03:29:13,767
Of the streets, the, the bottom.

2406
03:29:15,333 --> 03:29:15,734
Photo.

2407
03:29:17,533 --> 03:29:18,233
A protected.

2408
03:29:19,300 --> 03:29:21,734
Intersection with designated

2409
03:29:22,900 --> 03:29:26,500
bicycle crossing facilities and pedestrian crossing facilities.

2410
03:29:27,300 --> 03:29:29,634
And, and most likely it would have also.

2411
03:29:30,834 --> 03:29:34,867
Bicycle signals and pedestrian signals as, as part of the

2412
03:29:34,867 --> 03:29:35,100
control.

2413
03:29:36,667 --> 03:29:37,100
Next slide, please.

2414
03:29:38,934 --> 03:29:41,433
Please, let me know if I'm going too fast. I'm

2415
03:29:41,433 --> 03:29:42,934
I'm respectful of your time.

2416
03:29:46,767 --> 03:29:49,533
There are many considerations.

2417
03:29:50,333 --> 03:29:53,000
That are taken into account when considering.

2418
03:29:54,000 --> 03:29:55,900
Physical traffic coming devices.

2419
03:29:57,033 --> 03:29:58,467
Devices, including street lighting.

2420
03:29:59,433 --> 03:30:01,767
And whether it needs to be enhanced or not.

2421
03:30:02,567 --> 03:30:06,467
Underground utilities and whether it needs to be role relocated

2422
03:30:06,834 --> 03:30:07,700
or uplifted.

2423
03:30:08,667 --> 03:30:12,133
In, in the event of, of building a traffic circle

2424
03:30:12,333 --> 03:30:12,634
or.

2425
03:30:13,433 --> 03:30:16,033
Around about, for example, if it's in the center of

2426
03:30:16,033 --> 03:30:16,667
the intersection,

2427
03:30:18,834 --> 03:30:19,867
and there are various

2428
03:30:22,033 --> 03:30:26,467
the, the device types, including traffic circles and roundabouts, depending

2429
03:30:26,467 --> 03:30:28,133
on the size of the intersection.

2430
03:30:29,500 --> 03:30:31,266
Center medians and, and gateway.

2431
03:30:32,266 --> 03:30:34,133
Effects, especially at, in intersections.

2432
03:30:35,100 --> 03:30:36,133
Intersections chokers.

2433
03:30:37,533 --> 03:30:41,100
The parabolic or flat up speed hums depending on the

2434
03:30:41,300 --> 03:30:42,467
location and usage.

2435
03:30:44,300 --> 03:30:44,700
Chickens.

2436
03:30:46,000 --> 03:30:47,634
Chickens one way streets.

2437
03:30:48,667 --> 03:30:52,734
Diagonal diverters where the intersection would function as two LS.

2438
03:30:53,767 --> 03:30:56,734
LS with diagonal diverter in, in the middle.

2439
03:30:58,834 --> 03:31:03,233
So the, and typically the traffic calming plan would contain

2440
03:31:03,667 --> 03:31:05,700
a combination of devices.

2441
03:31:06,934 --> 03:31:08,767
Devices to have a cumulative effect.

2442
03:31:09,767 --> 03:31:13,133
On on the driver's behavior and overall travel.

2443
03:31:14,000 --> 03:31:15,934
Speeds along the corridor.

2444
03:31:16,867 --> 03:31:19,900
There are of course guidelines and standards.

2445
03:31:21,033 --> 03:31:25,000
Standards for dimensions, for example, the, it has an equation

2446
03:31:25,066 --> 03:31:29,734
for the spacing between speed hums. So there are some

2447
03:31:29,734 --> 03:31:30,867
guiding principles.

2448
03:31:31,900 --> 03:31:34,000
But it also takes into consideration.

2449
03:31:35,033 --> 03:31:38,100
The the community's desire and what they want to establish

2450
03:31:38,433 --> 03:31:39,767
for, for their neighborhood.

2451
03:31:42,066 --> 03:31:42,133
And

2452
03:31:43,133 --> 03:31:45,734
was that I'll be happy to answer any questions that

2453
03:31:45,734 --> 03:31:46,300
you may have.

2454
03:31:47,100 --> 03:31:49,934
Okay, thank you for that presentation. We'll bring it to

2455
03:31:49,934 --> 03:31:50,900
counsel for questions.

2456
03:31:52,066 --> 03:31:53,000
Questions council member CSAI.

2457
03:31:54,266 --> 03:31:59,133
Thanks mayor. First off, happy Arab American heritage month. We're

2458
03:31:59,133 --> 03:32:01,133
a very proud representation and thank you for being part

2459
03:32:01,133 --> 03:32:03,367
of team Pinole. And thank you for your presentation here.

2460
03:32:04,533 --> 03:32:05,934
First question I have is.

2461
03:32:06,867 --> 03:32:08,467
How does this traffic calming program?

2462
03:32:09,233 --> 03:32:11,133
Overlap with existing C a P projects.

2463
03:32:12,066 --> 03:32:17,000
Projects, namely. So both funded and unfunded the AP way

2464
03:32:17,166 --> 03:32:18,100
completes streets, project.

2465
03:32:19,100 --> 03:32:22,033
The San Pablo avenue, complete streets, project, and others that

2466
03:32:22,333 --> 03:32:23,634
may have some overlap.

2467
03:32:27,166 --> 03:32:29,734
The update of the policy.

2468
03:32:30,900 --> 03:32:32,634
Would provide guidance.

2469
03:32:33,567 --> 03:32:37,634
And more flexibility. And, and what would be considered for

2470
03:32:37,634 --> 03:32:38,233
these corridors?

2471
03:32:39,300 --> 03:32:40,867
Corridors, both San Pablo avenue.

2472
03:32:41,567 --> 03:32:43,500
And are arterial corridors.

2473
03:32:44,834 --> 03:32:46,033
Corridors, but

2474
03:32:47,133 --> 03:32:51,000
some segments of these corridors about single family homes, for

2475
03:32:51,000 --> 03:32:52,133
example, or.

2476
03:32:53,033 --> 03:32:55,000
Commercial facilities with

2477
03:32:56,100 --> 03:32:59,667
that act as traffic generators for pedestrians and cyclists.

2478
03:33:00,834 --> 03:33:02,867
Cyclists. So the land use has an effect.

2479
03:33:04,500 --> 03:33:08,767
And by updating the policy, it would allow for more

2480
03:33:08,934 --> 03:33:09,533
flexibility.

2481
03:33:12,500 --> 03:33:16,500
The two projects that are being mentioned are being considered

2482
03:33:16,634 --> 03:33:17,033
under.

2483
03:33:17,767 --> 03:33:18,033
Different.

2484
03:33:20,066 --> 03:33:21,033
C I P project.

2485
03:33:22,767 --> 03:33:24,133
Actually the Sam Pablo.

2486
03:33:25,033 --> 03:33:31,367
Avenue, there are multiple considerations for that corridor. One of

2487
03:33:31,367 --> 03:33:31,667
them.

2488
03:33:32,467 --> 03:33:34,000
Is is the San Pablo avenue.

2489
03:33:34,734 --> 03:33:40,467
Bridge replacement, which affects the timing of implementing traffic calming

2490
03:33:40,567 --> 03:33:42,700
along some San Pablo avenue, because.

2491
03:33:43,700 --> 03:33:46,300
Construction of the bridge will, will.

2492
03:33:47,233 --> 03:33:48,934
Generate quite a bit of truck traffic.

2493
03:33:49,767 --> 03:33:51,533
That could potentially damage the, the roadway.

2494
03:33:52,667 --> 03:33:53,934
During the construction period.

2495
03:33:55,000 --> 03:33:56,100
So timing-wise

2496
03:33:57,033 --> 03:33:58,367
of of the various projects.

2497
03:33:59,700 --> 03:34:00,767
Projects, but we're currently

2498
03:34:02,000 --> 03:34:03,734
working with the county.

2499
03:34:04,867 --> 03:34:10,667
On a bicycle and pedestrian improvements along San Pablo avenue.

2500
03:34:10,900 --> 03:34:11,634
It's a study.

2501
03:34:13,066 --> 03:34:16,667
And Kimberly Horne was recently selected.

2502
03:34:17,567 --> 03:34:18,734
To conduct the, the study.

2503
03:34:19,900 --> 03:34:22,900
It's funded by a grant. Our local match is only

2504
03:34:22,900 --> 03:34:27,300
$25,000 that you will see wi within the, the upcoming

2505
03:34:27,900 --> 03:34:28,100
budget.

2506
03:34:29,867 --> 03:34:32,266
But, but with sufficient funding for it.

2507
03:34:34,700 --> 03:34:35,033
Also

2508
03:34:35,900 --> 03:34:39,000
the C C T a is evaluating.

2509
03:34:40,433 --> 03:34:43,233
A vision of complete street.

2510
03:34:44,300 --> 03:34:47,467
Corridors. And one of them that was selected is San

2511
03:34:47,467 --> 03:34:48,100
Pablo avenue.

2512
03:34:49,033 --> 03:34:50,867
Within Pinal.

2513
03:34:51,900 --> 03:34:56,667
So we're, we're fortunate that we've received some input from.

2514
03:34:57,567 --> 03:35:00,066
And they have fear and peers doing this work.

2515
03:35:00,867 --> 03:35:03,000
So we have their feedback already.

2516
03:35:04,500 --> 03:35:07,934
And we're working. The study will include additional.

2517
03:35:09,133 --> 03:35:11,433
Details and it'll be based on.

2518
03:35:12,266 --> 03:35:16,266
Associated analysis, including multimodal segment.

2519
03:35:17,033 --> 03:35:19,133
And intersection level of service.

2520
03:35:20,000 --> 03:35:24,133
So when the actual devices are recommended, they're based on.

2521
03:35:25,033 --> 03:35:27,500
Supporting analysis that would

2522
03:35:28,266 --> 03:35:28,500
not cause

2523
03:35:30,533 --> 03:35:31,734
issues in, in the future.

2524
03:35:32,834 --> 03:35:33,166
Thank you.

2525
03:35:35,166 --> 03:35:39,266
You know, $150,000 to $20,000 is appropriated for, for this

2526
03:35:39,667 --> 03:35:40,033
project.

2527
03:35:40,834 --> 03:35:41,266
Per fiscal year.

2528
03:35:43,100 --> 03:35:45,700
You know, the, the description of the project is, is

2529
03:35:45,700 --> 03:35:46,166
pretty broad.

2530
03:35:47,100 --> 03:35:49,700
On its face. I'm wondering what, what is the.

2531
03:35:50,867 --> 03:35:52,100
How do you as staff determine.

2532
03:35:53,033 --> 03:35:55,300
Which projects to advance.

2533
03:35:56,066 --> 03:35:57,900
Is it, is it the same process that you mentioned

2534
03:35:57,934 --> 03:36:00,266
here with going through petition and then going to through

2535
03:36:00,433 --> 03:36:01,767
tabs and, and counsel or.

2536
03:36:02,533 --> 03:36:04,367
How, how specific do you get with input from tabs

2537
03:36:04,367 --> 03:36:06,500
and council? Yes.

2538
03:36:07,900 --> 03:36:10,667
And we already have a list of.

2539
03:36:11,500 --> 03:36:16,667
Requests it's mainly first come first served basis in terms

2540
03:36:16,667 --> 03:36:17,634
of the analysis.

2541
03:36:18,533 --> 03:36:20,500
And when traffic coming is warranted.

2542
03:36:21,433 --> 03:36:23,033
Then we proceed with the process.

2543
03:36:24,066 --> 03:36:25,100
Including the approval process.

2544
03:36:26,166 --> 03:36:29,700
It is just that this particular year, because we wanted

2545
03:36:29,900 --> 03:36:34,634
to, to allocate additional funding to the overall pave rehabilitation

2546
03:36:34,634 --> 03:36:35,033
project.

2547
03:36:36,533 --> 03:36:38,233
We prioritize those.

2548
03:36:39,300 --> 03:36:42,100
Devices, because we're also

2549
03:36:45,300 --> 03:36:49,100
there is a plan to grind, an overlay Shea, which

2550
03:36:49,133 --> 03:36:52,266
has a number of hums that will be re removed

2551
03:36:52,433 --> 03:36:53,266
and replaced.

2552
03:36:54,333 --> 03:36:57,000
Replaced. So there is a number of traffic calming elements

2553
03:36:57,033 --> 03:36:58,100
that contained.

2554
03:36:58,934 --> 03:37:01,700
In the paved, my rehabilitation project. And we just prioritized

2555
03:37:01,700 --> 03:37:03,900
that because we needed to add the fund.

2556
03:37:04,667 --> 03:37:08,900
Gotcha. You mentioned desire for feedback. What would feedback, what

2557
03:37:08,900 --> 03:37:10,266
kind of feedback would be useful for right now?

2558
03:37:11,300 --> 03:37:15,233
From the council feedback on whether or not you would

2559
03:37:15,300 --> 03:37:16,233
like to.

2560
03:37:17,033 --> 03:37:21,000
Receive the details for approval, whether as a consent.

2561
03:37:22,000 --> 03:37:25,100
Or a as a new business item.

2562
03:37:26,567 --> 03:37:29,300
And I'll, I'll be happy to, to proceed as you

2563
03:37:29,300 --> 03:37:29,533
wish.

2564
03:37:30,533 --> 03:37:35,000
And also as an information item in preparation for the

2565
03:37:35,166 --> 03:37:37,166
ATP, when it comes before you.

2566
03:37:38,166 --> 03:37:42,100
Next meeting? Yes. On both just for me, but back

2567
03:37:42,100 --> 03:37:44,233
to mayor. Okay. Any questions from counsel?

2568
03:37:45,233 --> 03:37:48,467
Okay scene none. We'll go ahead and question question. Okay.

2569
03:37:49,133 --> 03:37:50,467
Council member Martinez, Ruben.

2570
03:37:51,300 --> 03:37:51,767
Thank you for

2571
03:37:53,567 --> 03:37:55,100
were your presentation in the.

2572
03:37:55,900 --> 03:37:59,634
Section on the slide where you list review elements, analysis

2573
03:37:59,900 --> 03:38:00,900
and the different.

2574
03:38:02,166 --> 03:38:05,500
Criteria related to a policy.

2575
03:38:06,333 --> 03:38:08,266
For this program, you

2576
03:38:11,533 --> 03:38:12,367
you you, you

2577
03:38:15,500 --> 03:38:16,033
presented

2578
03:38:17,033 --> 03:38:19,500
as you would like to make changes to existing.

2579
03:38:20,467 --> 03:38:22,900
Policies. So once, so when will that happen? So that

2580
03:38:23,000 --> 03:38:25,000
implementation of the different activities.

2581
03:38:26,567 --> 03:38:27,100
Occurs.

2582
03:38:28,066 --> 03:38:29,133
Curse. What is the timeline?

2583
03:38:31,266 --> 03:38:31,867
We are

2584
03:38:32,667 --> 03:38:34,734
proceeding with the pavement rehabilitation project.

2585
03:38:35,500 --> 03:38:37,133
Including the traffic calming devices.

2586
03:38:39,133 --> 03:38:41,033
For the approval.

2587
03:38:42,100 --> 03:38:44,100
I'll be happy to bring forward.

2588
03:38:44,867 --> 03:38:48,300
In the next meeting, the, the actual track change document.

2589
03:38:49,233 --> 03:38:50,533
For your review and

2590
03:38:51,500 --> 03:38:53,700
whether you would like me to present on it in

2591
03:38:53,767 --> 03:38:56,900
details, or just include it as a consent item.

2592
03:38:58,066 --> 03:39:00,166
Will that would that document.

2593
03:39:01,033 --> 03:39:03,033
Include where petitions

2594
03:39:04,266 --> 03:39:06,467
petitions are, you know, you say you already have a

2595
03:39:06,467 --> 03:39:06,700
list.

2596
03:39:07,500 --> 03:39:09,767
That probably comes from the public and others.

2597
03:39:10,734 --> 03:39:12,433
That have come your way regarding.

2598
03:39:13,300 --> 03:39:14,033
Potential

2599
03:39:16,133 --> 03:39:18,233
locations where traffic calming can occur.

2600
03:39:19,300 --> 03:39:22,667
But perhaps they might not given the criteria.

2601
03:39:23,900 --> 03:39:26,467
The petition is, is just a form.

2602
03:39:27,300 --> 03:39:30,500
That's attached to the policy for the community members.

2603
03:39:31,500 --> 03:39:34,734
To follow a specific process and to use that form

2604
03:39:35,000 --> 03:39:37,133
and it would be applied consistently.

2605
03:39:38,533 --> 03:39:38,767
But

2606
03:39:40,500 --> 03:39:42,867
what will come before you will not.

2607
03:39:43,700 --> 03:39:45,634
Include the, the public informa.

2608
03:39:46,934 --> 03:39:48,166
The, like the list of.

2609
03:39:49,033 --> 03:39:50,133
Requests that we have.

2610
03:39:51,433 --> 03:39:54,166
That, that that was not the plan UN unless.

2611
03:39:55,100 --> 03:39:56,533
You would like to proceed with it.

2612
03:39:57,433 --> 03:39:59,500
Well, I, I have in mind a request that came

2613
03:39:59,500 --> 03:40:00,700
to me to my attention.

2614
03:40:01,567 --> 03:40:04,033
Yes. And when, when I was.

2615
03:40:04,834 --> 03:40:09,867
Listening to your interest in modifying existing criteria to allow

2616
03:40:10,033 --> 03:40:10,266
for.

2617
03:40:11,700 --> 03:40:12,533
Existing conditions.

2618
03:40:13,433 --> 03:40:15,433
Regarding land use and how they might have might affect.

2619
03:40:16,266 --> 03:40:19,500
The volume of traffic and et cetera, and, and even

2620
03:40:19,500 --> 03:40:21,133
to consider the need for calming.

2621
03:40:22,000 --> 03:40:25,000
That request came to to mind, but I don't know

2622
03:40:25,000 --> 03:40:25,900
where it stands.

2623
03:40:27,367 --> 03:40:30,867
And so I I'll be happy to check on it

2624
03:40:30,867 --> 03:40:31,867
Uhhuh and.

2625
03:40:32,667 --> 03:40:35,700
And email you back and okay. And let you, is

2626
03:40:35,700 --> 03:40:36,634
it the one on Henry?

2627
03:40:37,433 --> 03:40:39,033
It's the one on Henry and you know, the joke.

2628
03:40:40,433 --> 03:40:43,367
Somewhat, but it, it is, it is. There's some seriousness

2629
03:40:43,367 --> 03:40:44,133
underlying it.

2630
03:40:45,033 --> 03:40:48,033
Is that in my observation is that people drivers.

2631
03:40:49,300 --> 03:40:51,033
Interestingly, slow down.

2632
03:40:51,900 --> 03:40:55,433
For wild turkeys, more readily than they slow down for

2633
03:40:55,433 --> 03:40:56,667
people for humans.

2634
03:40:57,867 --> 03:40:58,133
And

2635
03:40:59,900 --> 03:41:01,300
at the particular location on Henry.

2636
03:41:03,300 --> 03:41:06,133
There's some of that had happens and, and, and you

2637
03:41:06,133 --> 03:41:09,166
are aware of, of why the request because of the,

2638
03:41:09,367 --> 03:41:10,767
the slope there and.

2639
03:41:11,700 --> 03:41:15,100
How human behavior is such that people will cross.

2640
03:41:15,900 --> 03:41:18,100
From one side of the street to the other from

2641
03:41:18,867 --> 03:41:19,467
the Bayside.

2642
03:41:20,266 --> 03:41:22,133
I'm sorry, the Creek side path.

2643
03:41:22,934 --> 03:41:25,500
To the other side where sprouts is.

2644
03:41:26,333 --> 03:41:30,000
Even though there's a relatively short distance to the crosswalk.

2645
03:41:30,433 --> 03:41:33,233
Yes, that is happening. And so that's the, that's what

2646
03:41:33,266 --> 03:41:35,433
I have in mind. I'm wondering where that, where that

2647
03:41:35,433 --> 03:41:35,734
stands.

2648
03:41:36,667 --> 03:41:37,867
Stance because it is one of those.

2649
03:41:39,100 --> 03:41:40,166
Areas in town where

2650
03:41:41,767 --> 03:41:44,533
again, based on analysis, perhaps you, you do see more.

2651
03:41:45,567 --> 03:41:47,867
Or less, we don't know. There is a, a bias

2652
03:41:47,867 --> 03:41:50,467
that anyone has when they start noticing certain things. They

2653
03:41:50,467 --> 03:41:52,433
believe that is where the problem is.

2654
03:41:53,834 --> 03:41:57,467
But the resident who requested that, that we look into

2655
03:41:57,467 --> 03:42:01,900
it is very patient and, and, and recognizes that.

2656
03:42:03,133 --> 03:42:05,734
Analysis and study needs to happen, but also would like

2657
03:42:05,734 --> 03:42:06,133
to see.

2658
03:42:07,300 --> 03:42:08,667
That something be done.

2659
03:42:10,000 --> 03:42:12,467
So to offer an explanations to wire, why not? I

2660
03:42:12,467 --> 03:42:13,934
think is, is important.

2661
03:42:15,033 --> 03:42:16,133
I'll be happy to

2662
03:42:17,033 --> 03:42:18,300
and it is under review.

2663
03:42:19,133 --> 03:42:21,100
To to provide the preliminary.

2664
03:42:22,433 --> 03:42:25,000
Feedback, although this is not the final answer, because I

2665
03:42:25,000 --> 03:42:27,100
would like to look into it more closely.

2666
03:42:28,500 --> 03:42:32,700
But the speed survey that's available is from 2016.

2667
03:42:34,133 --> 03:42:38,233
And it does not show speeding and there hasn't been

2668
03:42:38,367 --> 03:42:39,033
any collisions.

2669
03:42:40,266 --> 03:42:42,467
Collisions within a span of five year period.

2670
03:42:43,500 --> 03:42:46,033
So we, we looked into the data. It doesn't necessarily.

2671
03:42:47,133 --> 03:42:48,367
Support traffic coming.

2672
03:42:49,567 --> 03:42:53,300
Calming. However, I'm planning to look into other elements before

2673
03:42:53,300 --> 03:42:56,500
providing a response. Okay. That's why I held onto it

2674
03:42:56,634 --> 03:42:58,767
a little bit. thank you. Thank thank you for

2675
03:42:58,767 --> 03:43:01,033
that. I think we got to move to public comment.

2676
03:43:02,700 --> 03:43:03,867
Madam clerk is there.

2677
03:43:05,233 --> 03:43:06,100
Any public comment.

2678
03:43:06,934 --> 03:43:08,367
Yes, we have Rafael Menis online.

2679
03:43:09,433 --> 03:43:10,000
Go ahead, speaker.

2680
03:43:13,100 --> 03:43:15,634
Thank you. So I just saw a brief comment on

2681
03:43:15,634 --> 03:43:18,533
this one on page 25 of the agenda packet, the

2682
03:43:18,533 --> 03:43:20,000
review elements analysis.

2683
03:43:21,333 --> 03:43:25,133
When you're shifting it from 67% exceed the speed limit

2684
03:43:25,133 --> 03:43:28,433
to 85th percentile speed is higher.

2685
03:43:29,233 --> 03:43:31,433
Than the speed limit. Is that going to mean? You

2686
03:43:31,433 --> 03:43:34,166
need to have more motors speeding and therefore.

2687
03:43:35,133 --> 03:43:38,533
Fewer streets would be eligible to have traffic calming on

2688
03:43:38,533 --> 03:43:38,734
it.

2689
03:43:40,066 --> 03:43:42,500
Or is it the other way around? I don't quite

2690
03:43:42,500 --> 03:43:44,100
understand that one bullet point.

2691
03:43:45,033 --> 03:43:50,166
Thank you. The, the speed criteria is not just.

2692
03:43:51,567 --> 03:43:54,433
It doesn't just take into account the percentage.

2693
03:43:56,033 --> 03:44:00,367
Changing the percentage will facilitate the, the calculation so that

2694
03:44:00,367 --> 03:44:02,000
we can utilize the numbers.

2695
03:44:02,934 --> 03:44:05,700
From the speed survey into our analysis.

2696
03:44:06,734 --> 03:44:09,166
But there are other ways of going about it.

2697
03:44:10,166 --> 03:44:15,700
For example, the criterion now just simply say 76% exceeds

2698
03:44:15,767 --> 03:44:18,000
the speed limit of 25 mile per hour.

2699
03:44:19,266 --> 03:44:20,166
It's going to be

2700
03:44:21,033 --> 03:44:24,367
more flexible because the speed limit could potentially be 30

2701
03:44:24,433 --> 03:44:25,133
mile per hour.

2702
03:44:26,166 --> 03:44:28,033
And we're just referring to the speed limit.

2703
03:44:29,133 --> 03:44:32,000
There, there is also the possibility of having to say.

2704
03:44:33,834 --> 03:44:36,533
Exceeds the speed limit by five mile per hour.

2705
03:44:37,433 --> 03:44:41,133
So there are other provisions that could assist in how

2706
03:44:41,066 --> 03:44:41,300
we.

2707
03:44:42,166 --> 03:44:45,467
Utilize the speed criteria. It's not just the percentage itself.

2708
03:44:46,734 --> 03:44:50,133
Great. Thank thank you for that. Thank you, speaker.

2709
03:44:50,934 --> 03:44:51,700
Any other public speakers.

2710
03:44:53,033 --> 03:44:54,934
Speakers. Okay.

2711
03:44:56,634 --> 03:44:59,133
Actually, yes, we do have Anthony boss spring. Okay.

2712
03:45:01,100 --> 03:45:01,634
Go ahead, speaker.

2713
03:45:04,667 --> 03:45:05,500
You might be on mute.

2714
03:45:11,133 --> 03:45:12,367
Ms. Navos are you able to unmute yourself?

2715
03:45:15,100 --> 03:45:17,033
Hello. Can you hear me? Yes, go ahead.

2716
03:45:20,100 --> 03:45:21,700
Yes. I, I, it wasn't clear.

2717
03:45:24,300 --> 03:45:25,634
When, when these

2718
03:45:26,333 --> 03:45:27,000
when in holidays.

2719
03:45:28,667 --> 03:45:30,767
Different programs are going to be.

2720
03:45:33,066 --> 03:45:35,867
Evaluated or actually approved or.

2721
03:45:36,667 --> 03:45:39,266
Initiated money-wise and time-wise

2722
03:45:40,767 --> 03:45:41,433
via grants.

2723
03:45:42,734 --> 03:45:45,533
And our own city's budget.

2724
03:45:47,233 --> 03:45:48,900
And maybe I missed something there.

2725
03:45:50,033 --> 03:45:51,100
But I wasn't clear.

2726
03:45:52,066 --> 03:45:53,767
And then nothing.

2727
03:45:54,533 --> 03:45:56,367
Was brought up.

2728
03:45:57,433 --> 03:45:59,467
Or presented with regard to.

2729
03:46:02,533 --> 03:46:03,767
You traffic enforcement.

2730
03:46:04,834 --> 03:46:08,634
With the help with, from our, our police department.

2731
03:46:10,500 --> 03:46:12,634
One thing that wasn't mentioned is.

2732
03:46:13,433 --> 03:46:14,634
The use of speed trailers.

2733
03:46:15,700 --> 03:46:17,300
Trailers. I know other cities are.

2734
03:46:18,166 --> 03:46:21,934
Buying additional speed trailers. I thought we were, we had.

2735
03:46:22,734 --> 03:46:24,433
One and we were going to get another one via

2736
03:46:24,634 --> 03:46:25,634
grant or something.

2737
03:46:26,533 --> 03:46:29,266
But I haven't seen any use of any speed trailers

2738
03:46:29,767 --> 03:46:31,033
and when they did use it,

2739
03:46:32,066 --> 03:46:34,533
in certain areas say on Pinole valley road.

2740
03:46:36,500 --> 03:46:40,000
It wasn't functioning right with the current speed limit, nor

2741
03:46:40,066 --> 03:46:42,867
was it being in four N N nor was it

2742
03:46:42,867 --> 03:46:44,900
followed up with enforcement, you know,

2743
03:46:45,767 --> 03:46:48,900
and they just dropped the speed trailer in the middle

2744
03:46:48,900 --> 03:46:50,467
of the road. They don't put up any.

2745
03:46:51,500 --> 03:46:54,033
Warning cones on either side of the speed trailer.

2746
03:46:55,133 --> 03:46:58,767
In the dark alleyways of Pinole valley road with no

2747
03:46:58,767 --> 03:47:01,133
street lights around. And it's very dangerous.

2748
03:47:02,000 --> 03:47:02,367
Not to mention

2749
03:47:04,266 --> 03:47:06,100
in that regard as, as well as.

2750
03:47:07,266 --> 03:47:09,934
Where do we stand on the speed trailers? And then.

2751
03:47:10,734 --> 03:47:11,166
Why, why can't

2752
03:47:13,634 --> 03:47:14,500
the police

2753
03:47:15,500 --> 03:47:16,634
and, and the city.

2754
03:47:17,767 --> 03:47:18,634
Enforced more.

2755
03:47:20,266 --> 03:47:22,100
Actual citations with regard.

2756
03:47:23,100 --> 03:47:27,100
Regards to traffic issues, people breaking the law, speeding, running,

2757
03:47:27,300 --> 03:47:28,433
stop signs. And.

2758
03:47:29,233 --> 03:47:31,700
Red lights all over our city, you know?

2759
03:47:32,467 --> 03:47:35,100
And, and, and that would've also Mr. Vain, you have

2760
03:47:35,100 --> 03:47:37,433
45 seconds, but, but I think.

2761
03:47:38,166 --> 03:47:40,166
It's time that, you know, we move on.

2762
03:47:42,166 --> 03:47:43,100
Or compliment.

2763
03:47:44,066 --> 03:47:46,133
The education and, and

2764
03:47:47,367 --> 03:47:50,367
FYI warning stops that the police department.

2765
03:47:51,300 --> 03:47:53,367
Makes and start writing more citations.

2766
03:47:54,533 --> 03:47:57,433
Citations to, to help the city budget as well as

2767
03:47:57,433 --> 03:47:59,500
to give people a heads up that, you know, we

2768
03:47:59,500 --> 03:48:02,533
mean business here in Pinole and you just can't, willy-nilly

2769
03:48:03,166 --> 03:48:05,667
run through our city, whether they're from out of town

2770
03:48:05,667 --> 03:48:08,533
or in town. And, and we'd like to see more

2771
03:48:09,100 --> 03:48:12,100
aggressive and enforcement with, with citations.

2772
03:48:12,834 --> 03:48:16,000
Citations from the police department with your help city council.

2773
03:48:17,033 --> 03:48:19,100
Thank you. Thank you, speaker.

2774
03:48:19,900 --> 03:48:20,233
Are there any other speakers?

2775
03:48:22,000 --> 03:48:24,133
Speakers that concludes public comment. Okay. We'll bring it back

2776
03:48:24,133 --> 03:48:25,000
to counsel for any.

2777
03:48:26,000 --> 03:48:29,000
Final comments. Questions. Okay. Will we say council of ever

2778
03:48:29,133 --> 03:48:31,433
Toms? Yes. And then council members decide. Yeah, there was

2779
03:48:31,467 --> 03:48:33,367
a request as to whether or not we wanna have

2780
03:48:33,367 --> 03:48:36,533
this on consent or a presentation. I'm fine with it

2781
03:48:36,667 --> 03:48:39,100
on consent. And then if there's questions, it can always

2782
03:48:39,100 --> 03:48:39,467
be pulled.

2783
03:48:41,934 --> 03:48:43,133
Council member SI.

2784
03:48:44,066 --> 03:48:47,033
Thanks. And yes, agree. We'll be great to have in

2785
03:48:47,033 --> 03:48:48,867
consent. As long as it comes to council for review.

2786
03:48:51,100 --> 03:48:52,100
Two things I wanna mention.

2787
03:48:53,000 --> 03:48:54,033
Assembly bill 43.

2788
03:48:55,166 --> 03:48:58,367
We utilize, which that, that increased local local control over.

2789
03:48:59,100 --> 03:49:01,500
Traffic speed management. So through that with the bill allowed

2790
03:49:01,500 --> 03:49:03,266
and we were able to lower many, many.

2791
03:49:05,133 --> 03:49:06,767
Corridors of our streets in our city.

2792
03:49:07,900 --> 03:49:09,700
To 10 miles per hour down more than that.

2793
03:49:12,066 --> 03:49:15,300
There was one bill that we registered support for, I

2794
03:49:15,300 --> 03:49:17,367
think two years ago, the bill failed, but it actually

2795
03:49:17,367 --> 03:49:22,233
passed last year. It's AB 3 82 Berman, which authorizes local

2796
03:49:22,300 --> 03:49:25,700
local a authorities to reduce schools, zone speed limits.

2797
03:49:26,734 --> 03:49:29,100
Limits to 20 miles per hour, rather than 25.

2798
03:49:30,033 --> 03:49:32,500
So just wanna book, list it out. There would be

2799
03:49:32,500 --> 03:49:33,934
great to have a discussion down the line.

2800
03:49:34,734 --> 03:49:37,166
Of of lowering speed limits in school zones that applies

2801
03:49:37,166 --> 03:49:39,266
to so many spots in Pinole that.

2802
03:49:40,433 --> 03:49:43,133
There have been casualties, especially by St. Joseph's church over

2803
03:49:43,133 --> 03:49:44,867
here in, in downtown Pinole.

2804
03:49:46,033 --> 03:49:48,100
But again, thank you for the presentation.

2805
03:49:49,934 --> 03:49:51,133
This is a matter of life or death for a

2806
03:49:51,133 --> 03:49:54,133
lot of folks, as, you know, rate of speed, greatly

2807
03:49:54,133 --> 03:49:57,233
impacts rate of survival and extent to which someone is

2808
03:49:57,233 --> 03:49:59,634
injured. So it's really important. We focus on this and

2809
03:49:59,634 --> 03:50:01,000
have this come back for a view when we do

2810
03:50:01,000 --> 03:50:01,634
have possible projects.

2811
03:50:02,934 --> 03:50:05,700
Projects. Thank you. Okay. Seeing no other, I, I know

2812
03:50:05,700 --> 03:50:07,500
that I'm in favor of consent.

2813
03:50:08,667 --> 03:50:09,934
As long as it comes back to counsel.

2814
03:50:10,934 --> 03:50:14,133
Under consent. I think we'll be okay. Hey mayor, mayor

2815
03:50:14,166 --> 03:50:15,767
proton Murphy. I'm here.

2816
03:50:16,667 --> 03:50:19,634
Oh. Oh, okay. Mayor promp. Did you have any questions

2817
03:50:19,634 --> 03:50:20,000
or comments?

2818
03:50:21,033 --> 03:50:23,433
Comments. I did. Thank you so much. Just wanted to,

2819
03:50:23,900 --> 03:50:26,734
first of all, express my gratitude for director of Wendy's

2820
03:50:26,734 --> 03:50:27,000
report.

2821
03:50:28,734 --> 03:50:29,133
This is

2822
03:50:30,333 --> 03:50:32,500
very very great to hear back about the projects.

2823
03:50:33,567 --> 03:50:34,767
Projects, one of the questions. I'm not sure if was

2824
03:50:34,767 --> 03:50:37,467
asked, but a couple years ago we had a.

2825
03:50:40,033 --> 03:50:40,000
A

2826
03:50:41,033 --> 03:50:43,233
I guess addition to our, it wasn't really addition to

2827
03:50:43,233 --> 03:50:44,700
the C I P, but it was a.

2828
03:50:46,634 --> 03:50:49,500
Addition to what was kind of a concern at prune

2829
03:50:49,900 --> 03:50:50,000
and.

2830
03:50:51,033 --> 03:50:52,033
Tenant on having

2831
03:50:53,033 --> 03:50:53,033
a

2832
03:50:55,300 --> 03:50:58,266
pedestrian crosswalk there. And I believe there was like

2833
03:50:58,300 --> 03:50:58,734
a study.

2834
03:50:59,500 --> 03:51:01,133
That needed to happen in order for that to happen.

2835
03:51:01,166 --> 03:51:03,900
Can you explain the status of the pro about that

2836
03:51:03,900 --> 03:51:05,133
project or at least the study?

2837
03:51:09,900 --> 03:51:11,500
Unfortunately, I am

2838
03:51:13,033 --> 03:51:16,700
not able to, to recall that location, if it's okay.

2839
03:51:17,000 --> 03:51:17,934
I would like to.

2840
03:51:19,166 --> 03:51:21,000
Check on it and get back with you.

2841
03:51:22,000 --> 03:51:23,767
Okay, for sure. And I think it was a part

2842
03:51:23,767 --> 03:51:26,300
of a larger, one of the C I P projects

2843
03:51:26,567 --> 03:51:27,166
to consider.

2844
03:51:28,266 --> 03:51:30,533
Crosswalks at multiple locations around Pinole. And I think we

2845
03:51:30,533 --> 03:51:31,000
talked about.

2846
03:51:32,066 --> 03:51:32,634
Prune and

2847
03:51:34,333 --> 03:51:37,233
again, prune and tenant being one of those considerations for

2848
03:51:37,266 --> 03:51:39,700
the crosswalk to be added. But I think we needed

2849
03:51:39,767 --> 03:51:41,734
to take a step back and have a study before

2850
03:51:41,734 --> 03:51:45,000
we actually added a crosswalk. So if you can get

2851
03:51:45,000 --> 03:51:46,900
back to the council about that, that would be very

2852
03:51:47,100 --> 03:51:47,367
valuable.

2853
03:51:49,033 --> 03:51:50,900
And then mayor, I just wanted to add a comment

2854
03:51:51,066 --> 03:51:53,934
too, that if this hasn't already been said, this report

2855
03:51:54,066 --> 03:51:54,667
is very.

2856
03:51:55,634 --> 03:51:57,233
I think just incredibly important.

2857
03:51:58,333 --> 03:52:01,233
And I don't think we do enough justice in it

2858
03:52:01,333 --> 03:52:03,634
to put it as an item on the agenda. Although

2859
03:52:03,634 --> 03:52:06,767
thank you, director Quinty for, for prioritizing this. I would

2860
03:52:06,767 --> 03:52:09,233
love to see the staff work. The comms staff work

2861
03:52:09,233 --> 03:52:12,133
with the public works department to really be about how

2862
03:52:12,133 --> 03:52:14,367
to integrate these projects into.

2863
03:52:15,734 --> 03:52:18,000
Our communication strategy, whether it's again,

2864
03:52:19,734 --> 03:52:23,667
mayor your Vita Pinole series, or whether it's ensuring that

2865
03:52:23,667 --> 03:52:27,433
we just have these projects as a consistent update through

2866
03:52:27,433 --> 03:52:28,033
the pulse.

2867
03:52:29,166 --> 03:52:31,133
You know, I'd like to see at least one of

2868
03:52:31,133 --> 03:52:34,033
these projects highlighted or the progress of these things highlighted

2869
03:52:34,033 --> 03:52:36,133
once a week on social media. I mean, we're.

2870
03:52:37,033 --> 03:52:39,467
Director of Gundi. You've done a remarkable job at moving

2871
03:52:39,634 --> 03:52:40,867
these projects forward.

2872
03:52:41,567 --> 03:52:45,300
And you know, you're doing you're you're your department is

2873
03:52:45,300 --> 03:52:46,000
doing a lot.

2874
03:52:46,767 --> 03:52:48,734
And that being said, I think we, as a city

2875
03:52:48,734 --> 03:52:49,367
really need to.

2876
03:52:50,166 --> 03:52:53,033
Support the public works department in ensuring that these, the

2877
03:52:53,300 --> 03:52:55,533
progress, even when the projects are not done, the progress

2878
03:52:55,634 --> 03:52:56,033
is moving.

2879
03:52:57,166 --> 03:53:00,133
Is is being communicated around. And that, I think we

2880
03:53:00,133 --> 03:53:04,433
really gotta synthesize that in an easy, but consistent and

2881
03:53:04,634 --> 03:53:07,266
frequent way through communication. So I I'd ask staff to

2882
03:53:07,266 --> 03:53:10,900
work on that and in terms to manage Evans as

2883
03:53:10,900 --> 03:53:11,700
well, if thats okay.

2884
03:53:16,066 --> 03:53:17,367
City manager. Yeah.

2885
03:53:18,333 --> 03:53:20,166
Through the mayor. I completely.

2886
03:53:21,567 --> 03:53:23,000
Agree with the merit pro tem and.

2887
03:53:24,066 --> 03:53:25,700
We'll certainly talk with the.

2888
03:53:27,133 --> 03:53:29,000
Communications team on how we can start.

2889
03:53:30,000 --> 03:53:31,300
Working on promoting these items.

2890
03:53:32,066 --> 03:53:35,166
As noted. Okay. I really appreciate that. Thank you.

2891
03:53:36,266 --> 03:53:39,100
Okay. See, no other comment or questions. We'll go ahead

2892
03:53:39,100 --> 03:53:42,166
and move on to thank you. Item nine. Thank you,

2893
03:53:42,634 --> 03:53:44,266
director Oland for your work.

2894
03:53:46,467 --> 03:53:48,634
Yeah. So we'll go ahead and move on to consent

2895
03:53:48,867 --> 03:53:49,000
calendar.

2896
03:53:49,767 --> 03:53:50,634
We're going to be

2897
03:53:52,066 --> 03:53:54,100
item nine C will be continued to a future date

2898
03:53:54,100 --> 03:53:56,100
to allow for further discussion. So we are.

2899
03:53:56,834 --> 03:53:58,867
Going to be pulling that. I think the city manager

2900
03:53:58,934 --> 03:54:00,100
mentioned that earlier.

2901
03:54:01,100 --> 03:54:02,367
So we'll go ahead and.

2902
03:54:03,100 --> 03:54:06,100
Entertain any public comment on consent?

2903
03:54:09,100 --> 03:54:10,500
Yes, we have Raphael menace.

2904
03:54:11,500 --> 03:54:12,166
Please go ahead, speaker.

2905
03:54:15,634 --> 03:54:18,033
Thank you Bible a bunch of comments about nine Seba.

2906
03:54:18,033 --> 03:54:20,166
Since we're not concerned that item today, and we'll set

2907
03:54:20,166 --> 03:54:21,500
those comments aside for later.

2908
03:54:22,333 --> 03:54:23,900
For item nine F

2909
03:54:24,667 --> 03:54:27,266
I noted that the staff report says that the county's

2910
03:54:27,266 --> 03:54:28,533
basically kept the maximum.

2911
03:54:29,433 --> 03:54:34,133
Rate of charge per equivalent runoff unit of at $35

2912
03:54:34,367 --> 03:54:34,767
cents.

2913
03:54:36,567 --> 03:54:37,500
2002.

2914
03:54:38,333 --> 03:54:40,767
And if I'm calculating the inflation numbers, right. That would

2915
03:54:40,767 --> 03:54:44,100
be worth $64 and 19 cents now. So we basically.

2916
03:54:45,033 --> 03:54:45,734
Effectively.

2917
03:54:47,300 --> 03:54:51,133
We lost about 86% of the value.

2918
03:54:52,066 --> 03:54:53,700
Of this assessment.

2919
03:54:54,734 --> 03:54:55,233
To inflation.

2920
03:54:57,033 --> 03:54:59,500
Do we know whether if a county is planning to

2921
03:54:59,700 --> 03:55:00,100
ever.

2922
03:55:00,834 --> 03:55:04,100
Raise that limit again, can they, are they limited by

2923
03:55:04,233 --> 03:55:07,433
some outside rules? That just, it would be politically inconvenient

2924
03:55:07,567 --> 03:55:09,133
for them to raise it.

2925
03:55:10,000 --> 03:55:10,367
Thank you.

2926
03:55:13,233 --> 03:55:14,634
In terms of city manage. If I could.

2927
03:55:16,166 --> 03:55:19,133
I that's why you do see item G.

2928
03:55:20,333 --> 03:55:23,767
In the, county's trying to come up with creative ways

2929
03:55:24,033 --> 03:55:24,100
to.

2930
03:55:25,033 --> 03:55:27,133
Raise revenues to address stormwater challenges.

2931
03:55:28,066 --> 03:55:29,533
Challenges. Great. So that's exactly why.

2932
03:55:30,533 --> 03:55:31,166
Great. Thank you.

2933
03:55:32,834 --> 03:55:35,033
Thank thank you. Speaker. What was that? Three?

2934
03:55:36,500 --> 03:55:38,266
That was the three minutes for speaker.

2935
03:55:39,100 --> 03:55:41,533
Yes. And that concludes public comment. Great. Okay.

2936
03:55:42,367 --> 03:55:45,433
Alright. So looking at the consent calendar, looking for a

2937
03:55:45,433 --> 03:55:45,700
motion.

2938
03:55:46,533 --> 03:55:49,767
I'd like to move approval of nine, a B, D

2939
03:55:50,133 --> 03:55:50,867
E F, and G.

2940
03:55:51,700 --> 03:55:54,934
Second. Okay. It's been motion by council member, Tom. Second

2941
03:55:55,000 --> 03:55:57,266
by council member Martinez, Rubin, Madam clerk.

2942
03:55:58,333 --> 03:56:01,934
Roll call vote, please. Mayor Tave. Yes, mayor proton Murphy.

2943
03:56:03,066 --> 03:56:07,266
Aye. Council member Sai. Yes. Council member Martinez. Ruben. Yes.

2944
03:56:07,266 --> 03:56:10,133
Council member Toms. Yes. Motion carries. Thank you.

2945
03:56:11,066 --> 03:56:12,367
Okay. So

2946
03:56:13,433 --> 03:56:16,467
thank you for that. There are no public hearings or

2947
03:56:16,500 --> 03:56:19,900
old business. Next item is 12 a, so we'll be

2948
03:56:19,900 --> 03:56:20,867
moving past 10.

2949
03:56:22,000 --> 03:56:25,133
Public hearings and 11 moving on to 12, a new

2950
03:56:25,133 --> 03:56:28,867
business, interim city manager. Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor

2951
03:56:28,867 --> 03:56:31,233

An update on capital projects, inspections and permitting.

2954
03:56:36,467 --> 03:56:37,300
And maintenance operations.

2955
03:56:38,734 --> 03:56:41,100
Once again, we have your wonderful public works director here

2956
03:56:41,567 --> 03:56:42,367

2957
03:56:43,100 --> 03:56:43,133
Presentation.

2958
03:56:46,133 --> 03:56:46,867
Thank you.

2959
03:56:48,867 --> 03:56:54,867
Actually the presentation covers a sample of the capital improvement

2960
03:56:54,867 --> 03:56:55,100
projects.

2961
03:56:56,266 --> 03:56:59,033
Projects, but I'll be happy to answer any questions that

2962
03:56:59,133 --> 03:56:59,900
you have.

2963
03:57:01,000 --> 03:57:02,867
On the maintenance operations.

2964
03:57:03,700 --> 03:57:07,033
Permits and any other capital projects that are included.

2965
03:57:08,066 --> 03:57:09,033
Included in the staff report.

2966
03:57:18,100 --> 03:57:19,033
Next slide, please.

2967
03:57:23,000 --> 03:57:23,734
As you know,

2968
03:57:25,066 --> 03:57:27,133
the San Pablo avenue bridge.

2969
03:57:28,066 --> 03:57:29,700
Is over 80 years old.

2970
03:57:30,567 --> 03:57:33,500
Is the, the defined by Caltrans.

2971
03:57:34,734 --> 03:57:37,700
Caltrans with a deficient design designation.

2972
03:57:38,700 --> 03:57:41,166
That warrants, its replacement.

2973
03:57:42,100 --> 03:57:46,100
There has been a significant amount of work on this

2974
03:57:46,100 --> 03:57:46,300
project.

2975
03:57:47,500 --> 03:57:48,667
Over the past year.

2976
03:57:50,000 --> 03:57:54,266
And we intensified our environmental review this past.

2977
03:57:55,300 --> 03:57:57,667
Year and we're currently

2978
03:57:59,100 --> 03:57:59,166
in

2979
03:58:01,066 --> 03:58:02,367
at the final stage.

2980
03:58:03,100 --> 03:58:05,033
Of the, the environmental assessment.

2981
03:58:06,033 --> 03:58:07,166
The Caltrans.

2982
03:58:08,266 --> 03:58:11,500
Caltrans required. All the technical studies have been approved by

2983
03:58:11,500 --> 03:58:12,133
Caltrans.

2984
03:58:13,033 --> 03:58:13,266
Caltrans except

2985
03:58:15,300 --> 03:58:16,100
they required.

2986
03:58:17,567 --> 03:58:22,867
Investigation assessment of the soil for hazardous waste.

2987
03:58:23,700 --> 03:58:27,867
And we're planning on the 12th of April.

2988
03:58:28,867 --> 03:58:30,867
To take samples from underneath.

2989
03:58:31,700 --> 03:58:34,367
The bridge and, and we've already been.

2990
03:58:35,100 --> 03:58:36,934
Coordinating was BNSF.

2991
03:58:38,000 --> 03:58:40,934
F that's the final step. We will be finalizing the

2992
03:58:41,033 --> 03:58:41,467
analysis.

2993
03:58:42,667 --> 03:58:44,367
Was completion of N P a.

2994
03:58:45,433 --> 03:58:47,433
Next month followed.

2995
03:58:48,266 --> 03:58:49,467
By Siqua.

2996
03:58:52,000 --> 03:58:53,133
And the agreement

2997
03:58:54,367 --> 03:58:55,700
for the design phase.

2998
03:58:56,667 --> 03:59:00,133
Is already being worked on, we're working with the consultant

2999
03:59:00,367 --> 03:59:00,667
on.

3000
03:59:01,433 --> 03:59:03,000
The scoping and budgeting.

3001
03:59:04,133 --> 03:59:05,767
So it will become

3002
03:59:06,533 --> 03:59:08,734
before you next month.

3003
03:59:09,767 --> 03:59:16,033
As well, the, the design phase will commences in July.

3004
03:59:16,266 --> 03:59:19,033
That's why we're preparing in advance.

3005
03:59:20,133 --> 03:59:22,934
It's expected to take about a year and a half.

3006
03:59:24,100 --> 03:59:25,533
And followed by the construction.

3007
03:59:26,467 --> 03:59:29,634
Commencing in January of 2028.

3008
03:59:31,567 --> 03:59:34,900
One of the items that was mentioned earlier today, about

3009
03:59:35,000 --> 03:59:36,233
the placement of the sign.

3010
03:59:37,233 --> 03:59:39,266
It would be a great location.

3011
03:59:40,066 --> 03:59:43,266
However with the construction, the east side of the bridge

3012
03:59:43,567 --> 03:59:45,934
is in Hercules, the west side.

3013
03:59:47,000 --> 03:59:51,266
We're working with Caltrans under a different grant program.

3014
03:59:53,033 --> 03:59:55,133
To establish a bio retention area.

3015
03:59:56,066 --> 03:59:59,133
Not just the mitigate the impacts of the pro the.

3016
04:00:00,066 --> 04:00:01,367
The replacement of the bridge.

3017
04:00:02,567 --> 04:00:03,233
But to

3018
04:00:04,467 --> 04:00:06,100
achieve additional credits.

3019
04:00:07,300 --> 04:00:10,867
Credits for the city that could be utilized as part

3020
04:00:10,867 --> 04:00:11,900
of the GPA.

3021
04:00:15,033 --> 04:00:18,700
Funding and the funding referenced here is only.

3022
04:00:19,500 --> 04:00:21,033
For the PE phase.

3023
04:00:22,033 --> 04:00:26,033
Through the detail design. So environmental and design.

3024
04:00:27,033 --> 04:00:32,133
Is 3 million, 287,000 funded by highway bridge program.

3025
04:00:33,033 --> 04:00:35,233
Funds S TMP and measure.

3026
04:00:36,100 --> 04:00:40,533
J the, on the local level, we only have a

3027
04:00:40,533 --> 04:00:42,767
hundred thousand allocated.

3028
04:00:44,634 --> 04:00:45,900
To be able to

3029
04:00:48,066 --> 04:00:49,367
pay for the consultants.

3030
04:00:50,934 --> 04:00:53,767
Invoices while we see reimbursements from the grants.

3031
04:00:54,734 --> 04:00:56,266
Grants there is already.

3032
04:00:57,433 --> 04:00:59,233
And allocation.

3033
04:01:00,066 --> 04:01:04,100
Of 27 million of H P P funds.

3034
04:01:05,000 --> 04:01:09,767
Towards construction. Although the initial estimates of construction, it'll probably

3035
04:01:10,000 --> 04:01:12,667
be more than that. It's it's the estimate is about

3036
04:01:12,667 --> 04:01:13,533
32 million.

3037
04:01:14,533 --> 04:01:16,467
So we will be seeking additional grant funds.

3038
04:01:18,266 --> 04:01:19,300
The second project.

3039
04:01:20,266 --> 04:01:25,000
Is the tenant avenue bay trail Ray road crossing gap

3040
04:01:25,467 --> 04:01:25,634
closure.

3041
04:01:26,700 --> 04:01:29,133
That said the northerly end of tenant.

3042
04:01:30,000 --> 04:01:32,367
Near the treatment plan across.

3043
04:01:33,834 --> 04:01:35,734
The railroad, the D U P tracks.

3044
04:01:37,033 --> 04:01:41,433
Tracks as well as BI pedestrian improvements along railroad avenue

3045
04:01:41,734 --> 04:01:44,300
to connect with the Pinole Creek trail.

3046
04:01:46,066 --> 04:01:46,133
And

3047
04:01:47,500 --> 04:01:50,100
I, I wish I have a cursor it was

3048
04:01:50,100 --> 04:01:53,367
the Pinole Creek trail, as well as the bay trail.

3049
04:01:54,166 --> 04:01:55,433
On the easterly side.

3050
04:01:56,467 --> 04:02:02,033
So on railroad avenue, there will be class two bike

3051
04:02:02,033 --> 04:02:04,767
lanes. There will be a sidewalk on the north side.

3052
04:02:05,767 --> 04:02:08,734
And we're also establishing a physical narrowing.

3053
04:02:09,567 --> 04:02:13,133
At the Southeast corner of the intersection west tenant.

3054
04:02:14,367 --> 04:02:16,867
To slow down the turning speeds and.

3055
04:02:17,567 --> 04:02:19,133
Reduce the crossing distance of pedestrians.

3056
04:02:20,467 --> 04:02:22,033
Pedestrians across the tracks, we will separate.

3057
04:02:23,133 --> 04:02:25,734
Pedestrian and bicycle movements from the auto.

3058
04:02:26,934 --> 04:02:28,533
Traffic and

3059
04:02:29,433 --> 04:02:33,133
establish fencing and gates for pedestrians and cyclists.

3060
04:02:34,166 --> 04:02:35,367
Cyclists so far.

3061
04:02:36,834 --> 04:02:41,734
The, the city has been awarded 1 million and 20,000 of

3062
04:02:42,066 --> 04:02:43,133
OBA grant funds.

3063
04:02:44,100 --> 04:02:47,533
745,000 of S TMP funds.

3064
04:02:48,667 --> 04:02:54,000
We recently applied for two additional grant funding programs.

3065
04:02:55,133 --> 04:02:57,233
Programs one is the, the federal.

3066
04:02:58,166 --> 04:03:01,233
State partnership program for 1.3 million.

3067
04:03:02,166 --> 04:03:05,000
And the second one, a couple of weeks ago for

3068
04:03:05,000 --> 04:03:05,767
additional.

3069
04:03:06,533 --> 04:03:09,233
S T MP funds of about 700,000.

3070
04:03:10,567 --> 04:03:14,867
And the idea is to utilize the additional S TMP

3071
04:03:14,867 --> 04:03:18,767
funds to complete construction of improvements along gray road avenue.

3072
04:03:19,133 --> 04:03:21,033
This year in 2026.

3073
04:03:22,166 --> 04:03:23,500
And the additional

3074
04:03:24,467 --> 04:03:27,367
grant funding. I, I think we have a, a, a

3075
04:03:27,367 --> 04:03:28,233
reasonable chance.

3076
04:03:29,233 --> 04:03:33,734
Is to complete the improvements across the railway tracks next

3077
04:03:33,767 --> 04:03:34,133
year.

3078
04:03:37,000 --> 04:03:38,734
We are currently working.

3079
04:03:39,500 --> 04:03:42,734
With U P R on two encroachment agreements.

3080
04:03:43,900 --> 04:03:47,700
One of, one of the areas is shown on the

3081
04:03:47,700 --> 04:03:48,033
plan.

3082
04:03:49,100 --> 04:03:51,900
The second one is, is for railroad avenue.

3083
04:03:52,667 --> 04:03:55,900
Because improvements on railroad avenue will be managed by the

3084
04:03:55,900 --> 04:03:56,000
city.

3085
04:03:57,033 --> 04:03:59,700
While the, the improvements within the rear.

3086
04:04:01,033 --> 04:04:02,734
Railroad section.

3087
04:04:03,634 --> 04:04:05,500
Will be managed by up.

3088
04:04:06,734 --> 04:04:09,667
Actually this whole area is within the right of way.

3089
04:04:09,767 --> 04:04:14,166
That's why we're entering into an encroach encroachment agreements. Even

3090
04:04:14,467 --> 04:04:16,667
railroad avenue is within the right of way.

3091
04:04:20,066 --> 04:04:22,133
And the third project.

3092
04:04:23,000 --> 04:04:25,367
Listed we're working on various.

3093
04:04:26,934 --> 04:04:28,000
Road related.

3094
04:04:28,834 --> 04:04:32,100
IM improvements. I, I just selected three.

3095
04:04:33,033 --> 04:04:34,000
And I should also mention.

3096
04:04:35,100 --> 04:04:39,533
Mentioned that the week before last I presented on these

3097
04:04:39,900 --> 04:04:44,634
two top projects to, to west county transportation commission board.

3098
04:04:45,734 --> 04:04:47,233
Just to refresh their mind.

3099
04:04:48,266 --> 04:04:51,433
And also to, to explain to them the grant application

3100
04:04:51,533 --> 04:04:54,133
for the S TMP that they will be voting on.

3101
04:04:55,567 --> 04:04:56,266
The third project.

3102
04:04:57,266 --> 04:05:02,100
Is will be implemented with the help of the county

3103
04:05:02,100 --> 04:05:04,100
county maintains and operates.

3104
04:05:05,233 --> 04:05:06,100
Operates our signals.

3105
04:05:07,500 --> 04:05:09,433
Signals and the upgrades.

3106
04:05:10,333 --> 04:05:12,100
Upgrades to, to become ADA compliant.

3107
04:05:13,033 --> 04:05:16,300
Not fully, but for the pedestrian push buttons.

3108
04:05:17,433 --> 04:05:23,000
Buttons. Well, be implemented in 18 after 22 signals. The

3109
04:05:23,000 --> 04:05:25,000
remaining for are already compliant.

3110
04:05:26,133 --> 04:05:29,734
So we will implement the remaining 18 signals.

3111
04:05:30,934 --> 04:05:34,266
Signals and that work will be completed in may or,

3112
04:05:34,333 --> 04:05:36,166
or June of, of this year.

3113
04:05:37,500 --> 04:05:40,000
And it will cost 170.

3114
04:05:41,033 --> 04:05:42,533
3000 approximately.

3115
04:05:43,333 --> 04:05:48,000
Out of the 200,000 that's already budgeted and approved as

3116
04:05:48,000 --> 04:05:49,433
part of the C I P project.

3140
04:07:04,533 --> 04:07:06,100
The middle picture.

3141
04:07:06,934 --> 04:07:10,867
Shows one of the improvements that we recently implemented at

3142
04:07:10,867 --> 04:07:14,900
the swim center, which is replacement of the tu pumps.

3143
04:07:15,900 --> 04:07:18,133
Pumps. We've also implemented a number.

3144
04:07:19,133 --> 04:07:20,300
Of other upgrades.

3145
04:07:21,233 --> 04:07:23,233

Repairs of the plumbing and replacement of the shower heads

3148
04:07:30,300 --> 04:07:30,767

3149
04:07:31,900 --> 04:07:34,433
The swim season. Start again.

3150
04:07:35,567 --> 04:07:38,100
With the remaining fund were expecting.

I P.

3154
04:07:47,100 --> 04:07:50,634
The, the next improvement that we're planning within the next

3155
04:07:50,767 --> 04:07:54,133
few weeks is to install a mini split.

3156
04:07:55,667 --> 04:07:56,867
HVAC system.

3157
04:07:57,767 --> 04:07:59,100
For the team members.

3158
04:08:00,066 --> 04:08:00,934
That work in the building.

3159
04:08:02,166 --> 04:08:03,500
And was any additional

3160
04:08:04,467 --> 04:08:05,767
or any remaining funds?

3161
04:08:06,734 --> 04:08:09,934
We have a list of additional improvements, so we will

3162
04:08:09,934 --> 04:08:12,533
see what else we can fit by the end of

3163
04:08:12,533 --> 04:08:14,133
the fiscal year. And within.

3164
04:08:15,133 --> 04:08:16,000
The available funding.

3165
04:08:18,834 --> 04:08:19,300
The last

3166
04:08:20,066 --> 04:08:22,133
project on this slide.

3167
04:08:23,133 --> 04:08:25,367
Is the planned installation.

3168
04:08:26,834 --> 04:08:31,467
Of prefabricated restrooms. It's going to have two.

3169
04:08:32,266 --> 04:08:36,000
Accessible stalls for male and, and females.

3170
04:08:37,033 --> 04:08:41,300
Females with all the standard requirements, like the, the bars,

3171
04:08:41,734 --> 04:08:42,000
the.

3172
04:08:42,934 --> 04:08:45,133
And all would be metal.

3173
04:08:46,000 --> 04:08:49,000
Fixtures to, to avoid vandalism.

3174
04:08:50,533 --> 04:08:53,000
And on the outside, there will be.

3175
04:08:53,834 --> 04:08:55,934
Two fountains, drinking fountains.

3176
04:08:57,033 --> 04:08:57,500
Fountains as shown.

3177
04:09:01,133 --> 04:09:03,000
We're expecting to receive.

3178
04:09:04,166 --> 04:09:06,734
And install the prefabricated building.

3179
04:09:07,500 --> 04:09:10,667
In may of this year, in the meantime, within the

3180
04:09:10,667 --> 04:09:11,467
next few weeks.

3181
04:09:12,500 --> 04:09:17,266
We will be implementing all the utility connections, the electric

3182
04:09:17,567 --> 04:09:18,000
water.

3183
04:09:18,867 --> 04:09:21,734
Sewer connections to the spot is going to be in

3184
04:09:21,734 --> 04:09:22,467
the parking area.

3185
04:09:23,500 --> 04:09:25,000
Need the, the skating.

3186
04:09:26,767 --> 04:09:27,133
Park.

3187
04:09:28,533 --> 04:09:29,867
The skid board park.

3188
04:09:32,100 --> 04:09:32,166
And

3189
04:09:33,100 --> 04:09:37,100
and to the base, it's not foundation per se. It's

3190
04:09:37,100 --> 04:09:38,500
the base for the building.

3191
04:09:39,500 --> 04:09:42,300
That will be implemented within the next few weeks.

3192
04:09:43,900 --> 04:09:46,667
The overall project will be completed in may.

3193
04:09:48,767 --> 04:09:49,033
So

3194
04:09:50,000 --> 04:09:53,533
the closure of the parking lot will be temporary weather

3195
04:09:53,734 --> 04:09:55,133
for the utility connections.

3196
04:09:56,100 --> 04:09:59,533
We're expecting to close that area. Not the full parking

3197
04:09:59,767 --> 04:10:00,033
lot.

3198
04:10:01,000 --> 04:10:04,700
For about a week, the installation of the building, it'll

3199
04:10:04,700 --> 04:10:05,533
be only one day.

3200
04:10:08,900 --> 04:10:09,867
Next slide, please.

3201
04:10:13,266 --> 04:10:15,900
And I also included here a sample.

3202
04:10:16,867 --> 04:10:18,133
Of the wastewater.

3203
04:10:19,500 --> 04:10:20,433
Treatment plan.

3204
04:10:21,433 --> 04:10:24,000
Project as you know, we've already.

3205
04:10:25,033 --> 04:10:26,934
Replaced one of the three blowers.

3206
04:10:28,000 --> 04:10:32,734
To reduce the energy consumptions. And also because the.

3207
04:10:34,000 --> 04:10:36,300
Blowers were outdated and we weren't able to.

3208
04:10:37,767 --> 04:10:39,634
Find parts for them.

3209
04:10:41,166 --> 04:10:45,100
And in the last council meeting.

3210
04:10:46,000 --> 04:10:49,734
We brought and it was approved the purchase of the

3211
04:10:49,867 --> 04:10:50,700
two remaining.

3212
04:10:51,634 --> 04:10:53,300
Blowers, but

3213
04:10:54,734 --> 04:10:56,033
the lead time is about six months.

3214
04:10:57,266 --> 04:11:02,667
That's why it's mentioned here that it'll be completed in

3215
04:11:02,734 --> 04:11:03,133
October.

3216
04:11:05,133 --> 04:11:09,000
But we've already paid part of the approved funding.

3217
04:11:10,266 --> 04:11:11,900
For the procurement.

3218
04:11:12,667 --> 04:11:14,266
Was the remaining after

3219
04:11:15,133 --> 04:11:17,634
installation and, and testing.

3220
04:11:20,533 --> 04:11:21,533
The second project.

3221
04:11:22,533 --> 04:11:24,934
Is the, the upgrades for.

3222
04:11:25,767 --> 04:11:27,767
The lab, which

3223
04:11:28,667 --> 04:11:32,634
includes a replacement. We try to retrofit the cabinets, but

3224
04:11:32,634 --> 04:11:33,533
they are in, in a.

3225
04:11:34,634 --> 04:11:35,867
The deteriorated

3226
04:11:36,900 --> 04:11:41,233
state. So we will be replacing the, the cabinets countertops.

3227
04:11:42,333 --> 04:11:44,033
Countertops dishwasher, the hood.

3228
04:11:45,667 --> 04:11:49,900
The approved funding amount is, is 150,000. It'll actually.

3229
04:11:50,734 --> 04:11:53,734
Exceed that we already have quotes under the different elements.

3230
04:11:54,934 --> 04:11:56,033
Elements and the individual elements.

3231
04:11:57,433 --> 04:11:59,500
Elements are are small, but.

3232
04:12:00,266 --> 04:12:05,500
The, the, the accumulation of the cost will exceed 150,000,

3233
04:12:06,367 --> 04:12:07,100
but we've already.

3234
04:12:08,066 --> 04:12:10,300
Like placed the order for the dishwasher placed the order

3235
04:12:10,834 --> 04:12:12,000
for the hood and so forth.

3236
04:12:13,900 --> 04:12:15,467
It'll be completed in August.

3237
04:12:16,266 --> 04:12:18,367
And the remaining funding shortfall.

3238
04:12:19,133 --> 04:12:22,266
That will come before you as part of the next

3239
04:12:22,266 --> 04:12:23,233
budget approval.

3240
04:12:26,066 --> 04:12:26,867
The third

3241
04:12:27,900 --> 04:12:29,100
project shown.

3242
04:12:30,000 --> 04:12:33,033
Shown it, it shows the road work, but it's actually

3243
04:12:33,266 --> 04:12:38,133
for the pinion trunk line sewer capacity. And.

3244
04:12:39,300 --> 04:12:43,533
The sewer lines that were replaced along pinion.

3245
04:12:44,467 --> 04:12:46,000
Pinyon and was completed.

3246
04:12:47,500 --> 04:12:48,667
We did additional

3247
04:12:50,033 --> 04:12:55,467
pavement repairs, the intersection of pinion and Hutchinson shown in

3248
04:12:55,467 --> 04:12:55,867
the picture.

3249
04:12:56,667 --> 04:13:01,033
Because during the, the, the replacement of the sewer line.

3250
04:13:01,767 --> 04:13:04,033
There were a number of breakage in the water lines.

3251
04:13:06,033 --> 04:13:09,433
And it caused a depression at that location.

3252
04:13:11,000 --> 04:13:11,033
So

3253
04:13:12,767 --> 04:13:14,634
we tested the area.

3254
04:13:15,500 --> 04:13:19,033
Compacted it and resurfaced the location.

3255
04:13:20,100 --> 04:13:25,667
We also did pavement repair repairs on Zoe court in.

3256
04:13:26,734 --> 04:13:30,867
Ramey court that all of which were completed in February

3257
04:13:30,867 --> 04:13:31,667
of this year.

3258
04:13:36,266 --> 04:13:40,033
That I'll be happy to answer any question you may

3259
04:13:40,033 --> 04:13:42,934
have about these projects or any of the other items.

3260
04:13:43,700 --> 04:13:44,166
In the staff report.

3261
04:13:46,000 --> 04:13:48,500
Okay, we'll bring it back to counsel for questions.

3262
04:13:49,767 --> 04:13:54,166
Questions. Okay. I mean, I'm looking around, I know

3263
04:13:54,166 --> 04:13:58,033
you have questions, council Martinez. You want me to wait

3264
04:13:58,567 --> 04:13:59,867
any, I, we can't see any.

3265
04:14:00,667 --> 04:14:01,133
Online though.

3266
04:14:03,467 --> 04:14:05,433
I do have a question, mayor, just waiting for you

3267
04:14:05,433 --> 04:14:09,033
to, okay. So, so we can't see through the

3268
04:14:09,033 --> 04:14:10,734
screen. So we're relying on the clerk.

3269
04:14:11,500 --> 04:14:14,100
Mayor prote. Why don't you go ahead first with your

3270
04:14:14,166 --> 04:14:17,166
questions and then council member Martinez. Rubin will follow.

3271
04:14:18,934 --> 04:14:21,000
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you again, mayor. And, and thank

3272
04:14:21,000 --> 04:14:23,900
you, director El Wendy for your presentation, and just want

3273
04:14:23,900 --> 04:14:26,033
to reiterate how much work I, I see.

3274
04:14:27,500 --> 04:14:30,100
Your department holding. And I, I, I really just appreciate

3275
04:14:30,166 --> 04:14:30,867
both the.

3276
04:14:31,700 --> 04:14:34,000
Presentation and, and the staff report, but also.

3277
04:14:35,000 --> 04:14:37,667
You know, within the challenges that are, that our cities

3278
04:14:37,667 --> 04:14:40,433
having and, and your particular department has had.

3279
04:14:41,233 --> 04:14:43,133
I think this is very helpful.

3280
04:14:43,900 --> 04:14:46,934
For bringing back to council, you know, one of the.

3281
04:14:47,700 --> 04:14:49,900
Biggest questions I have for you that I, I feel

3282
04:14:49,900 --> 04:14:52,433
like I often ask, but I just always want to

3283
04:14:52,433 --> 04:14:55,000
kind of a status report is that, you know, a

3284
04:14:55,000 --> 04:14:57,700
lot of our projects, you know, that you mentioned the

3285
04:14:57,834 --> 04:15:01,734
ADA curb ramps, the park upgrades, and even, I mean,

3286
04:15:01,734 --> 04:15:04,767
especially the stormwater compliance they're progressing.

3287
04:15:05,700 --> 04:15:08,033
Simultaneously. So I was just wondering, like, how are you

3288
04:15:08,033 --> 04:15:09,133
prioritizing projects?

3289
04:15:10,333 --> 04:15:14,700
Projects like through the funding and staff constraints that arise.

3290
04:15:18,100 --> 04:15:21,700
Yes. Thank you for the question. With regards to the

3291
04:15:21,700 --> 04:15:24,000
curb ramps we implemented earlier.

3292
04:15:24,867 --> 04:15:28,000
This year, the curb ramps for fiscal year.

3293
04:15:29,033 --> 04:15:29,900
24 25.

3294
04:15:31,567 --> 04:15:33,000
And also we added

3295
04:15:36,266 --> 04:15:39,700
we added six curbs as part of the public.

3296
04:15:40,467 --> 04:15:44,100
Improvements of the APN village, residential development.

3297
04:15:45,033 --> 04:15:47,100
So in all we implemented.

3298
04:15:48,100 --> 04:15:52,433
28 curbs earlier this year, but that was for fiscal

3299
04:15:52,533 --> 04:15:54,133
year 24, 25.

3300
04:15:55,133 --> 04:15:57,667
For fiscal year 25, 26.

3301
04:15:58,734 --> 04:16:03,900
Again, we accounted for the funding approved for that project.

3302
04:16:04,900 --> 04:16:08,433
And added as part of the pavement rehabilitation project.

3303
04:16:10,100 --> 04:16:11,433
Because we're implementing.

3304
04:16:13,066 --> 04:16:16,467
New programs along Pinole valley road and a number of

3305
04:16:16,734 --> 04:16:17,000
location.

3306
04:16:18,000 --> 04:16:18,100
On

3307
04:16:21,033 --> 04:16:23,033
a number of location on.

3308
04:16:24,066 --> 04:16:25,033
Shade drive.

3309
04:16:26,567 --> 04:16:28,233
And then near the school.

3310
04:16:30,066 --> 04:16:32,467
So I, I, I wanna say that.

3311
04:16:33,233 --> 04:16:35,100
The total would be a minimum of.

3312
04:16:35,900 --> 04:16:37,300
26 additional curb Rams.

3313
04:16:38,333 --> 04:16:41,433
So we just wanted to maximize the use.

3314
04:16:42,533 --> 04:16:44,000
Of the funding by

3315
04:16:45,033 --> 04:16:47,867
combining the funding under a number of projects.

3316
04:16:49,033 --> 04:16:49,867
Projects into one.

3317
04:16:51,133 --> 04:16:53,033
Project the pave my rehabilitation.

3318
04:16:53,767 --> 04:17:00,300
That would be, will increase our possibility to get beds

3319
04:17:00,500 --> 04:17:04,100
at reasonable price because of the scale of the project.

3320
04:17:05,433 --> 04:17:07,266
We're hoping that it, it would.

3321
04:17:08,533 --> 04:17:13,533
Help in, in reducing the overall cost for the size

3322
04:17:13,533 --> 04:17:14,033
of the project.

3323
04:17:15,867 --> 04:17:16,500
So priorit.

3324
04:17:17,433 --> 04:17:20,233
Prioritization is affected by a number of items.

3325
04:17:21,233 --> 04:17:23,667
And not just the need, but how we balance.

3326
04:17:24,467 --> 04:17:26,667
Out the different projects.

3327
04:17:28,066 --> 04:17:30,000
The curb ramps in the downtown area.

3328
04:17:31,000 --> 04:17:35,033
Where a priority. That's why we implemented them earlier this

3329
04:17:35,033 --> 04:17:35,233
year.

3330
04:17:36,266 --> 04:17:38,166
But where we, we assessed.

3331
04:17:39,700 --> 04:17:44,433
Various areas. We just finished assessment of zone one.

3332
04:17:45,500 --> 04:17:49,133
So we, we have a long list of locations that

3333
04:17:49,133 --> 04:17:50,100
needs either.

3334
04:17:51,133 --> 04:17:52,767
New curb ramps where it it's.

3335
04:17:53,567 --> 04:17:54,367
It's nonexistent.

3336
04:17:55,900 --> 04:18:00,100
Or non-compliant and it needs to be retrofitted or replaced.

3337
04:18:01,233 --> 04:18:04,033
Replaced. So we have, we have a long way ahead

3338
04:18:04,033 --> 04:18:07,166
of us and we're trying to maximize the, the funds

3339
04:18:07,533 --> 04:18:08,867
as much as possible.

3340
04:18:11,033 --> 04:18:12,266
I'm, I'm not sure I covered.

3341
04:18:13,634 --> 04:18:16,433
All of the question. If, if you could please let

3342
04:18:16,433 --> 04:18:19,033
me know. No, I think that was helpful. And, and

3343
04:18:19,033 --> 04:18:21,634
again, I think it's just helpful context, as I understand.

3344
04:18:22,333 --> 04:18:25,100
So many of the projects are being worked on and

3345
04:18:25,100 --> 04:18:27,467
you are making your departments making a lot of progress

3346
04:18:27,567 --> 04:18:27,867
on.

3347
04:18:28,834 --> 04:18:31,433
These projects that that seem to be all under one

3348
04:18:31,433 --> 04:18:33,233
house, but they, you know, they all have a different

3349
04:18:33,533 --> 04:18:34,734
character to them. Of course.

3350
04:18:35,667 --> 04:18:38,133
I wanted to transition a little bit to like storm

3351
04:18:38,133 --> 04:18:41,033
water compliance. Yes. Because I did notice a lot of.

3352
04:18:42,266 --> 04:18:44,233
Today's staff report included like.

3353
04:18:45,033 --> 04:18:47,033
Where our city was at in storm compliance. Can you

3354
04:18:47,033 --> 04:18:48,000
help me understand?

3355
04:18:49,033 --> 04:18:51,233
Like what the risk are. If the deadlines aren't met

3356
04:18:51,300 --> 04:18:54,033
and like what contingency plans are in place, if we

3357
04:18:54,033 --> 04:18:55,033
don't, I, I think you.

3358
04:18:56,066 --> 04:18:58,233
I forgot the number. I think you said like 70%

3359
04:18:58,367 --> 04:19:01,367
of our were like 70, 80%, but I have good

3360
04:19:01,367 --> 04:19:01,667
news.

3361
04:19:02,734 --> 04:19:05,033
Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad I asked. Can you just,

3362
04:19:05,100 --> 04:19:06,900
oh, the great. I would love to hear the good

3363
04:19:06,900 --> 04:19:09,000
news, but I was also wondering like, yeah. I mean,

3364
04:19:09,000 --> 04:19:12,000
yeah, go ahead please. I'm sorry. As, so this staff

3365
04:19:12,100 --> 04:19:12,433
report.

3366
04:19:13,233 --> 04:19:14,266
Has two different

3367
04:19:16,500 --> 04:19:16,734
approved.

3368
04:19:17,767 --> 04:19:20,033
Storm water related projects. One.

3369
04:19:21,033 --> 04:19:22,166
For annual upgrades.

3370
04:19:23,100 --> 04:19:25,000
Upgrades and we used this year's budget.

3371
04:19:25,767 --> 04:19:28,233
As part of the replacement of the.

3372
04:19:29,233 --> 04:19:32,300
Storm water lion off of Dolores court.

3373
04:19:33,433 --> 04:19:34,934
That connects to the Creek.

3374
04:19:35,700 --> 04:19:39,533
Because it was problematic every year was, was the flooding

3375
04:19:39,734 --> 04:19:40,767
on dolos court.

3376
04:19:41,767 --> 04:19:45,100
And, and amount of maintenance and it was a hazard

3377
04:19:45,100 --> 04:19:47,100
as well because it cost the.

3378
04:19:48,066 --> 04:19:50,900
Neighbor's fence to fall into the, the hole.

3379
04:19:51,700 --> 04:19:54,233
Whole like the, the crashed pipe.

3380
04:19:56,000 --> 04:19:59,033
Caused a sinking in, into the ground.

3381
04:20:01,033 --> 04:20:04,300
So that was a priority that we handled and completed

3382
04:20:04,300 --> 04:20:07,867
earlier this year. Although we have remaining funding.

3383
04:20:08,767 --> 04:20:12,033
That, that we're looking into a small scale project right

3384
04:20:12,033 --> 04:20:13,500
now to, to, to.

3385
04:20:14,333 --> 04:20:15,500
Utilize the funds for

3386
04:20:18,033 --> 04:20:19,100
the second element.

3387
04:20:20,066 --> 04:20:24,100
Is the general upgrades w was the, that has the

3388
04:20:24,100 --> 04:20:26,100
picture of the trash capture devices.

3389
04:20:27,100 --> 04:20:29,767
Devices that's general upgrade to the system.

3390
04:20:30,767 --> 04:20:32,000
And we were at

3391
04:20:33,033 --> 04:20:35,433
80% compliance. However

3392
04:20:36,767 --> 04:20:38,867
we recently worked.

3393
04:20:39,900 --> 04:20:41,233
With a consulting firm.

3394
04:20:42,166 --> 04:20:44,166
And we updated the stormwater map.

3395
04:20:45,433 --> 04:20:46,500
So we corrected.

3396
04:20:47,300 --> 04:20:52,166
Areas where it's skewed the calculations, not in, in the

3397
04:20:52,166 --> 04:20:53,000
city's favor.

3398
04:20:53,767 --> 04:20:55,867
Mm-hmm as well as we did.

3399
04:20:56,667 --> 04:20:58,700
Additional assessments earlier.

3400
04:20:59,700 --> 04:21:02,300
This month and late in, in March.

3401
04:21:03,300 --> 04:21:05,867
And, and there will be a second round of assessment.

3402
04:21:07,000 --> 04:21:09,100
In may before the reporting in June.

3403
04:21:10,133 --> 04:21:13,900
And we're actually now at 99.8%.

3404
04:21:14,934 --> 04:21:20,867
So we're, we're there. And additional improvements that were coordinating

3405
04:21:21,033 --> 04:21:25,433
was Caltrans on, for example, to install additional trash capture

3406
04:21:25,667 --> 04:21:27,233
devices along I 80.

3407
04:21:29,000 --> 04:21:31,867
To serve both depending on the location and how it,

3408
04:21:31,900 --> 04:21:32,467
it feeds.

3409
04:21:33,433 --> 04:21:36,767
Feeds, it would serve both jurisdictions to get credit.

3410
04:21:37,767 --> 04:21:40,133
That would be above and beyond the requirement.

3411
04:21:41,033 --> 04:21:45,767
And were also working with them on securing a grant.

3412
04:21:46,166 --> 04:21:50,000
As I mentioned for the establishment of the bio retention

3413
04:21:50,000 --> 04:21:52,266
area on the west side of the San Pablo avenue

3414
04:21:52,300 --> 04:21:52,767
bridge.

3415
04:21:53,667 --> 04:21:54,934
At a larger scale.

3416
04:21:56,133 --> 04:22:00,667
To secure credits that could possibly be utilized for.

3417
04:22:01,567 --> 04:22:03,934
Development and capital projects within Pinal.

3418
04:22:04,834 --> 04:22:07,000
Or through the GPA.

3419
04:22:08,066 --> 04:22:10,734
That could generate revenue for, for the city.

3420
04:22:13,767 --> 04:22:16,100
Thank you. And just my last question about some of

3421
04:22:16,100 --> 04:22:17,700
this, because I, I do feel.

3422
04:22:19,066 --> 04:22:22,433
Anecdotally that we as a city have moved forward a

3423
04:22:22,433 --> 04:22:23,533
lot in terms of.

3424
04:22:25,333 --> 04:22:29,000
The technology that's being used within the department, you know?

3425
04:22:31,700 --> 04:22:34,533
Just even our focus on these projects. And so I'm

3426
04:22:34,533 --> 04:22:37,500
just wondering about like the reporting outputs, like we're talking

3427
04:22:37,500 --> 04:22:41,000
about the permits and inspections and of course repairs, like,

3428
04:22:41,300 --> 04:22:42,000
how do you.

3429
04:22:43,567 --> 04:22:46,533
Foresee us moving forward in terms of like providing the

3430
04:22:46,533 --> 04:22:47,700
performance that's.

3431
04:22:48,667 --> 04:22:50,133
That's used to evaluate our success.

3432
04:22:51,033 --> 04:22:52,467
Whether it's like reduced

3433
04:22:53,533 --> 04:22:58,000
complaints or reduced flooding for the stormwater, like.

3434
04:22:59,133 --> 04:23:01,100
Have you given some thought as to like how.

3435
04:23:02,000 --> 04:23:04,033
To provide trend data.

3436
04:23:05,033 --> 04:23:07,634
Over time, like to better assess our conditions or, or

3437
04:23:07,634 --> 04:23:10,700
just like evaluate the success of like how these things

3438
04:23:10,700 --> 04:23:11,033
are moving.

3439
04:23:12,100 --> 04:23:14,000
I'll just add a little context too. I've noticed like,

3440
04:23:14,934 --> 04:23:17,133
you know, it seems like there's monthly, like 300.

3441
04:23:18,000 --> 04:23:20,634
Different service requests. And I'm wondering like,

3442
04:23:21,567 --> 04:23:24,166
we've talked about like the use of the tool beehive,

3443
04:23:24,300 --> 04:23:26,233
and I'm guessing like some of that is being tracked

3444
04:23:26,233 --> 04:23:27,500
there. Maybe we have a different tool.

3445
04:23:28,266 --> 04:23:30,266
But it would be nice to figure out and understand

3446
04:23:30,266 --> 04:23:30,634
like,

3447
04:23:31,500 --> 04:23:31,500
how

3448
04:23:34,000 --> 04:23:37,000
our performance metrics are being used to, again, evaluate success

3449
04:23:37,000 --> 04:23:39,266
of like what people are going through in Pinole. And

3450
04:23:39,300 --> 04:23:42,867
I, I imagine like reduced complaints would be a great

3451
04:23:42,900 --> 04:23:45,900
thing to track, right. Or, or how folks are again,

3452
04:23:45,900 --> 04:23:48,133
reduced flooding. Like, can you kind of elaborate a little

3453
04:23:48,133 --> 04:23:49,233
bit more about like what you.

3454
04:23:50,000 --> 04:23:52,133
Are doing now. And then how you feel like we're

3455
04:23:52,133 --> 04:23:52,433
going to.

3456
04:23:53,233 --> 04:23:54,367
Grow that or improve that.

3457
04:23:55,500 --> 04:23:57,367
In terms of metrics. Yes.

3458
04:23:58,333 --> 04:24:00,433
Thank you once again for, for the question.

3459
04:24:01,233 --> 04:24:06,000
Because I, I, you will see before you a request.

3460
04:24:06,734 --> 04:24:09,867
As part of the, the budget for your consideration.

3461
04:24:11,433 --> 04:24:15,133
We've been providing a significant amount of training.

3462
04:24:16,100 --> 04:24:19,900
For maintenance operations, as well as for the engineering team.

3463
04:24:22,033 --> 04:24:22,166
Like

3464
04:24:23,133 --> 04:24:25,467
tens of classes in relations to.

3465
04:24:27,100 --> 04:24:30,900
Customer service and relations to storm water and relations to

3466
04:24:31,000 --> 04:24:31,867
safe practices.

3467
04:24:33,033 --> 04:24:34,033
Practices the various aspects.

3468
04:24:35,100 --> 04:24:39,266
Of our operations, as it relates to engineering, as well

3469
04:24:39,333 --> 04:24:41,367
as, as it relates to maintenance.

3470
04:24:42,166 --> 04:24:45,300
Operations to, to be up to date and to be

3471
04:24:45,433 --> 04:24:46,133
effective.

3472
04:24:47,333 --> 04:24:49,433
In, in what we do and, and.

3473
04:24:50,166 --> 04:24:51,900
Reduce the, the level of liability.

3474
04:24:53,000 --> 04:24:57,133
To the city recently, we were actually put on, on

3475
04:24:57,133 --> 04:25:01,000
notice by the water boards to, to report more frequently.

3476
04:25:02,166 --> 04:25:06,734
But was the, the conclusion and the completion of the

3477
04:25:06,734 --> 04:25:07,934
assessment report.

3478
04:25:08,834 --> 04:25:11,500
That will be shared with them. I already shared the

3479
04:25:11,500 --> 04:25:11,734
map.

3480
04:25:12,667 --> 04:25:15,100
But I will be sharing the over our report later

3481
04:25:15,266 --> 04:25:15,500
on.

3482
04:25:16,467 --> 04:25:19,533
This week. I, I think we will go back to

3483
04:25:19,567 --> 04:25:23,367
the norm of reporting once a, a year.

3484
04:25:24,467 --> 04:25:25,667
With that being said,

3485
04:25:26,734 --> 04:25:31,133
we have a lot. Public works is, is a service.

3486
04:25:31,900 --> 04:25:32,934
Department that that serves.

3487
04:25:34,000 --> 04:25:37,100
Serves the various departments within the city and the community

3488
04:25:37,133 --> 04:25:38,000
at, at large.

3489
04:25:39,433 --> 04:25:42,700
It, it affects people's lives every single day.

3490
04:25:44,567 --> 04:25:47,033
And we, we work under.

3491
04:25:47,900 --> 04:25:51,634
Various requirements depending on, on the function.

3492
04:25:52,667 --> 04:25:53,266
Within the department.

3493
04:25:55,500 --> 04:25:59,867
There are requirements under storm water imposed by the, the

3494
04:25:59,867 --> 04:26:01,300
water board. There are requirements.

3495
04:26:02,166 --> 04:26:04,867
In terms of wastewater, there are requirements.

3496
04:26:05,767 --> 04:26:07,767
Under waste.

3497
04:26:09,834 --> 04:26:12,634
So one of the considerations.

3498
04:26:13,433 --> 04:26:14,734
That we, we would like.

3499
04:26:15,834 --> 04:26:19,033
Your your review of, as part of the budgeting.

3500
04:26:20,066 --> 04:26:22,634
Would be a designated

3501
04:26:24,900 --> 04:26:25,700
environmental.

3502
04:26:26,533 --> 04:26:30,266
Compliance person to be able to assist with these reporter

3503
04:26:30,767 --> 04:26:31,300
reporting.

3504
04:26:32,266 --> 04:26:34,367
So that nothing would fall behind.

3505
04:26:37,066 --> 04:26:40,367
We're still got the extra mile with our existing staff

3506
04:26:40,533 --> 04:26:41,367
and will do.

3507
04:26:42,166 --> 04:26:44,634
What we need to do to be able to meet

3508
04:26:44,667 --> 04:26:45,667
all the requirements.

3509
04:26:46,734 --> 04:26:47,467
But ideally

3510
04:26:49,100 --> 04:26:51,667
there should be the expertise in that area.

3511
04:26:52,467 --> 04:26:53,700
As part of the department.

3512
04:26:56,500 --> 04:27:00,634
And, and also through the various tools right now.

3513
04:27:02,066 --> 04:27:03,133
Our management.

3514
04:27:04,066 --> 04:27:07,100
Analyst collects all the requests from emails.

3515
04:27:08,066 --> 04:27:12,634
Emails from phone calls and through the website into beehive.

3516
04:27:13,667 --> 04:27:15,533
Which is still time consuming.

3517
04:27:16,767 --> 04:27:18,000
For inserting

3518
04:27:18,734 --> 04:27:20,367
all the requests that we receive.

3519
04:27:21,567 --> 04:27:24,934
And her time could be utilized on, on other.

3520
04:27:26,100 --> 04:27:27,734
Functions that would be more useful.

3521
04:27:30,133 --> 04:27:32,934
But, but we are looking into a different.

3522
04:27:34,233 --> 04:27:38,000
Software that's more adaptive, but on a citywide basis.

3523
04:27:38,934 --> 04:27:40,233
Rather than just public works.

3524
04:27:41,266 --> 04:27:43,700
So it's, it's in the works. I'm not sure that

3525
04:27:43,700 --> 04:27:47,233
it's going to materialize this year, per se, because of

3526
04:27:47,233 --> 04:27:48,100
the cost involved.

3527
04:27:50,300 --> 04:27:51,667
But it it's being under.

3528
04:27:52,667 --> 04:27:52,667
Review.

3529
04:27:54,934 --> 04:27:58,867
thank you. Okay. Council member Martinez, Ruben, please. With

3530
04:27:58,867 --> 04:27:59,233
your questions.

3531
04:28:00,266 --> 04:28:01,367
Questions. Thank you. Thank you director.

3532
04:28:02,667 --> 04:28:06,266
Aldi, when I saw your staff report, I first saw

3533
04:28:06,300 --> 04:28:08,500
thought of all the reporting and how you do it,

3534
04:28:09,100 --> 04:28:12,433
and all of the administrative work behind it, the meetings,

3535
04:28:13,000 --> 04:28:16,033
the calls for proposals, the review of proposals and all

3536
04:28:16,033 --> 04:28:17,500
the, that lead time that you speak about.

3537
04:28:18,533 --> 04:28:21,367
Leading to actually being able to document where you are

3538
04:28:21,500 --> 04:28:24,100
and the processes involved until we see implementation.

3539
04:28:25,033 --> 04:28:25,767
So thank you for all that.

3540
04:28:27,900 --> 04:28:31,033
Three questions that, that I have in my notes.

3541
04:28:32,066 --> 04:28:34,900
Some of them might seem a little trivial or tiny

3542
04:28:35,033 --> 04:28:37,033
compared to everything that you have to attend to.

3543
04:28:38,000 --> 04:28:39,133
They have been

3544
04:28:40,667 --> 04:28:44,100
based on comments I've heard from people out in, in.

3545
04:28:45,033 --> 04:28:45,266
In pin.

3546
04:28:47,300 --> 04:28:48,900
The, and also related to.

3547
04:28:50,166 --> 04:28:53,734
What's describing your maintenance operations section, the oper maintenance operations

3548
04:28:53,734 --> 04:28:55,033
section of your staff report.

3549
04:28:56,066 --> 04:28:59,233
Are what, what percentage would you say roughly?

3550
04:29:00,066 --> 04:29:02,133
Our staff initiated maintenance.

3551
04:29:03,000 --> 04:29:04,900
Items and

3552
04:29:06,000 --> 04:29:08,667
those in response to problems that are reported via the

3553
04:29:08,734 --> 04:29:09,000
app.

3554
04:29:10,033 --> 04:29:10,667
The city app.

3555
04:29:12,066 --> 04:29:14,000
There's a form that the public can use. And.

3556
04:29:15,500 --> 04:29:17,734
And I, and I'm wondering again where the stance of

3557
04:29:17,734 --> 04:29:19,767
those relative to what you've reported.

3558
04:29:20,667 --> 04:29:23,133
So that's one question, and then I'll go to the

3559
04:29:23,133 --> 04:29:23,367
other two.

3560
04:29:25,133 --> 04:29:27,900
I don't have a precise.

3561
04:29:28,667 --> 04:29:30,467
Percentage, but I would

3562
04:29:31,900 --> 04:29:33,734
assume it's about 60, 40.

3563
04:29:35,033 --> 04:29:37,767
In the past, the, the team was just.

3564
04:29:38,533 --> 04:29:41,000
Responding to requests, but currently.

3565
04:29:42,734 --> 04:29:46,667
Because we divided the city into five zones and we're

3566
04:29:46,667 --> 04:29:47,700
taking a proactive.

3567
04:29:48,467 --> 04:29:50,467
Approach in maintaining the zones.

3568
04:29:51,700 --> 04:29:55,467
Zones. So we, we, we have been going above and

3569
04:29:55,467 --> 04:29:58,867
beyond the, the request that we receive in our work

3570
04:29:59,066 --> 04:30:01,767
in zone. One that should be completed by the end

3571
04:30:01,834 --> 04:30:02,100
of.

3572
04:30:02,934 --> 04:30:07,100
The fiscal year in terms of potholing, signage, pavement, marking

3573
04:30:07,300 --> 04:30:08,000
repairs of.

3574
04:30:09,033 --> 04:30:12,700
Lighting. So the improvements within zone one.

3575
04:30:13,767 --> 04:30:15,533
These are the added

3576
04:30:17,266 --> 04:30:18,000
proactive.

3577
04:30:19,567 --> 04:30:20,734
Staff initiated.

3578
04:30:21,767 --> 04:30:23,166
Improvements beyond.

3579
04:30:24,266 --> 04:30:26,667
The, the request that we receive and we are zone

3580
04:30:26,667 --> 04:30:26,934
one.

3581
04:30:29,433 --> 04:30:30,000
Roughly

3582
04:30:30,734 --> 04:30:33,533
just like major streets or major sections it's in the.

3583
04:30:34,634 --> 04:30:38,000
South easterly part of the city. And I'll, I'll be

3584
04:30:38,000 --> 04:30:40,000
happy to, to email a copy.

3585
04:30:41,033 --> 04:30:44,533
The, the map is posted on the city's website, but

3586
04:30:44,533 --> 04:30:46,900
I'll be happy to email a copy as well. Thank

3587
04:30:49,000 --> 04:30:49,000
you. That that's good enough. So public can know aswell.

3588
04:30:50,133 --> 04:30:52,100
The other are very more specific questions.

3589
04:30:53,033 --> 04:30:56,166
Questions back to the installation of the a day compliant,

3590
04:30:56,433 --> 04:30:58,533
prefabricated restrooms at Pinole valley park.

3591
04:30:59,500 --> 04:31:01,934
Are the two restrooms. I see two units in the

3592
04:31:01,934 --> 04:31:04,500
diagram that is part of your presentation. Are they both?

3593
04:31:04,567 --> 04:31:05,000
All gender?

3594
04:31:06,000 --> 04:31:06,166
Restrooms.

3595
04:31:08,734 --> 04:31:09,300
No actually.

3596
04:31:10,367 --> 04:31:12,133
It it's male or female.

3597
04:31:13,033 --> 04:31:15,433
Most of them could be utilized. Yeah.

3598
04:31:16,467 --> 04:31:20,033
It's it's not one female and one male. It's it's.

3599
04:31:21,033 --> 04:31:23,767
It's either one is, is, can be used by either.

3600
04:31:24,033 --> 04:31:26,233
good. So, so they are all gender, they all,

3601
04:31:26,300 --> 04:31:28,367
yes. Yes. The signage, all gender and the signage will

3602
04:31:28,367 --> 04:31:30,634
have that. Okay. Thank you. Wanted to double check on

3603
04:31:30,634 --> 04:31:30,767
that.

3604
04:31:32,567 --> 04:31:33,233
Now in your

3605
04:31:34,000 --> 04:31:38,700
staff report there's mention of, of gophers attending to the

3606
04:31:38,700 --> 04:31:39,700
damage that gophers do.

3607
04:31:40,467 --> 04:31:45,233
Stew. I am wondering whether staff have noticed greater population

3608
04:31:45,233 --> 04:31:46,166
of ground squirrels.

3609
04:31:47,100 --> 04:31:49,300
Squirrels and specifically near the.

3610
04:31:51,133 --> 04:31:54,000
Water treatment plant the south side of the water treatment

3611
04:31:54,000 --> 04:31:54,367
plant.

3612
04:31:56,767 --> 04:31:59,000
I have been told that there is an increased scene

3613
04:31:59,000 --> 04:31:59,433
or abundant.

3614
04:32:00,266 --> 04:32:03,500
Number of ground squirrels there and concern about that is

3615
04:32:03,500 --> 04:32:07,266
the damage that they cause to the given their habits.

3616
04:32:07,700 --> 04:32:07,767
.

3617
04:32:08,667 --> 04:32:10,266
Damage that could be, could lead to.

3618
04:32:11,634 --> 04:32:15,734
Wires cables and PVC conduit, and other kinds of pipes.

3619
04:32:16,667 --> 04:32:19,367
Pipes that are underground. And as near as they may

3620
04:32:19,367 --> 04:32:21,166
be to the water treatment plant, I don't know whether

3621
04:32:21,166 --> 04:32:23,433
there, there might be some liability there or some damage

3622
04:32:23,433 --> 04:32:23,767
there.

3623
04:32:24,667 --> 04:32:27,266
Sure. We'll be happy to look into that.

3624
04:32:28,166 --> 04:32:31,500
No one brought that to my attention in the past,

3625
04:32:31,634 --> 04:32:32,934
but will look into it.

3626
04:32:34,033 --> 04:32:36,767
The, the issues with gophers has been.

3627
04:32:38,133 --> 04:32:41,033
Improved significantly through the treatment.

3628
04:32:42,066 --> 04:32:45,266
And remediations that we've done. So we no longer have

3629
04:32:45,266 --> 04:32:48,900
that issue on the soccer field or, or other areas

3630
04:32:49,033 --> 04:32:49,734
and, and parks.

3631
04:32:50,934 --> 04:32:53,266
Parks. I have to ask though, aren't they seasonal?

3632
04:32:55,433 --> 04:32:59,233
Yes. So it's like they will see gophers again, as

3633
04:32:59,233 --> 04:33:00,133
cute as they might be.

3634
04:33:02,033 --> 04:33:06,667
Hopefully not as a rise, we'll go back and do

3635
04:33:06,667 --> 04:33:08,266
the three treatment again.

3636
04:33:09,166 --> 04:33:09,500
Okay.

3637
04:33:11,300 --> 04:33:14,433
Now I'm thinking of years back, there were discussions, this

3638
04:33:14,500 --> 04:33:18,533
preceded you. There were discussions about a pilot project using

3639
04:33:19,033 --> 04:33:20,867
big belly. I believe that's a brand name.

3640
04:33:21,567 --> 04:33:23,133
Big belly, trash, trash bins.

3641
04:33:24,066 --> 04:33:26,100
Bins, two of them were placed in old town.

3642
04:33:27,300 --> 04:33:29,233
Panel one right next to.

3643
04:33:30,166 --> 04:33:34,367
Tina's the eatery at the corner of San Pablo and

3644
04:33:34,367 --> 04:33:34,634
tenant.

3645
04:33:35,700 --> 04:33:36,033
And the

3646
04:33:38,000 --> 04:33:39,634
Northwest corner. And then.

3647
04:33:41,033 --> 04:33:43,166
One along on a long tenant.

3648
04:33:45,567 --> 04:33:46,700
Close to the pump house.

3649
04:33:47,500 --> 04:33:49,000
So there are two trash bins there.

3650
04:33:50,000 --> 04:33:52,367
And they, at the time that they were installed, I

3651
04:33:52,367 --> 04:33:54,667
recall that they were meant to be part of a

3652
04:33:54,667 --> 04:33:55,300
pilot project.

3653
04:33:56,066 --> 04:33:57,533
To determine their

3654
04:33:58,333 --> 04:34:01,634
utility and their effectiveness in mitigating litter.

3655
04:34:02,567 --> 04:34:05,166
And, and the pilot aspect of it was just also

3656
04:34:05,166 --> 04:34:06,867
to see whether that would be the best.

3657
04:34:07,700 --> 04:34:09,300
Whether there might be other locations.

3658
04:34:10,533 --> 04:34:12,233
Locations information based on where those two were placed, there

3659
04:34:12,233 --> 04:34:14,867
would be other lo that would inform whether they're ought

3660
04:34:14,867 --> 04:34:18,133
to be similar type trash bins placed in other locations.

3661
04:34:19,100 --> 04:34:23,000
Locations where there are hotspots of, of litter. One of

3662
04:34:23,000 --> 04:34:23,033
those.

3663
04:34:24,066 --> 04:34:26,266
Being alongside the Creek behind.

3664
04:34:29,433 --> 04:34:30,867
The restaurant that serves dim sum.

3665
04:34:32,266 --> 04:34:35,500
Always forget the name of that restaurant king valley. Thank

3666
04:34:35,500 --> 04:34:35,667
you.

3667
04:34:36,467 --> 04:34:37,500
Yeah, so

3668
04:34:38,734 --> 04:34:40,767
my, my request is this, or my question is this.

3669
04:34:41,033 --> 04:34:42,867
If, if indeed, somewhere.

3670
04:34:43,900 --> 04:34:46,367
Somewhere on file. There is mention of this pilot study

3671
04:34:46,433 --> 04:34:48,533
and impossible continuation of that.

3672
04:34:49,867 --> 04:34:50,467
To help.

3673
04:34:51,900 --> 04:34:53,667
And it, it has to do with as well.

3674
04:34:55,467 --> 04:34:56,033
Effects.

3675
04:34:57,033 --> 04:34:58,066
In the Creek effects on the water.

3676
04:34:59,900 --> 04:35:00,734
The, the niche report.

3677
04:35:02,000 --> 04:35:04,066
How we're doing that in, in regard to the.

3678
04:35:05,834 --> 04:35:09,100
Compliance with the water quality board. I think one aspect

3679
04:35:09,100 --> 04:35:11,634
of that, of that report report. At least last time

3680
04:35:11,667 --> 04:35:12,700
I looked at it years ago.

3681
04:35:13,567 --> 04:35:15,000
Before the version that we're on now.

3682
04:35:16,066 --> 04:35:18,266
There was a section that called for what is the

3683
04:35:18,266 --> 04:35:20,867
city doing with regard to mitigating litter?

3684
04:35:21,567 --> 04:35:22,533
And so there was room for that.

3685
04:35:23,900 --> 04:35:27,767
I, I was not aware probably this locations were selected.

3686
04:35:28,667 --> 04:35:30,100
Based on the, the level of.

3687
04:35:31,000 --> 04:35:35,300
The debris at these locations and, and trash, I will

3688
04:35:35,300 --> 04:35:36,000
look into it.

3689
04:35:37,000 --> 04:35:39,133
The, the locations that were currently.

3690
04:35:39,900 --> 04:35:44,000
Evaluating is the placements of the new trash re receptacles.

3691
04:35:44,100 --> 04:35:47,266
And, and they're not just for trash. It's trash recycling.

3692
04:35:48,066 --> 04:35:49,634
Green waste. So

3693
04:35:50,333 --> 04:35:53,734
that's the, the item that's currently under evaluation.

3694
04:35:54,533 --> 04:35:56,700
But I will look into that pilot.

3695
04:35:58,066 --> 04:36:01,133
And, and see where, where we're at, based on our

3696
04:36:01,133 --> 04:36:05,233
maintenance activities and, and observations. Mm-hmm . Thank you. So

3697
04:36:05,367 --> 04:36:07,667
I'm, I'm thinking roughly, that was probably about.

3698
04:36:08,667 --> 04:36:10,500
20 21, 20 22.

3699
04:36:11,500 --> 04:36:16,100
Windows were whatever year those were placed in whatever year,

3700
04:36:16,000 --> 04:36:18,367
the big belly bins were placed, where they are now.

3701
04:36:19,100 --> 04:36:21,767
All right. Okay. Thank you any.

3702
04:36:22,734 --> 04:36:25,266
Other comments questions. Okay. We'll go to public comment.

3703
04:36:28,266 --> 04:36:29,166
Raphael menace.

3704
04:36:35,266 --> 04:36:38,634
Good evening again. So I've got a few comments and

3705
04:36:38,934 --> 04:36:40,233
questions on this item.

3706
04:36:41,533 --> 04:36:45,367
So on page number 228 of the agenda packet, it

3707
04:36:45,467 --> 04:36:47,133
says the use system HVAC.

3708
04:36:48,066 --> 04:36:51,233
System only had three out of the seven units replaced.

3709
04:36:51,266 --> 04:36:53,767
I'm assuming, because those were the three that actually had

3710
04:36:53,767 --> 04:36:54,900
outright failed.

3711
04:36:55,700 --> 04:37:00,166
Components, what condition are the other four remaining units in?

3712
04:37:00,166 --> 04:37:02,266
Are they likely to fail in the near future?

3713
04:37:03,300 --> 04:37:05,900
Where they evaluated during the process of replacing the first

3714
04:37:05,900 --> 04:37:06,133
three.

3715
04:37:08,367 --> 04:37:11,767
Secondly, I noticed also on patient number 228, that there

3716
04:37:11,767 --> 04:37:14,133
are improvements to a dog park, suggested that the planning

3717
04:37:14,133 --> 04:37:16,734
is underway to add dog play areas and upgrade the

3718
04:37:17,000 --> 04:37:19,033
landscaping, following a community meeting to be led by the

3719
04:37:19,033 --> 04:37:20,433
community services to department.

3720
04:37:21,300 --> 04:37:24,166
How will the community be informed about this meeting and

3721
04:37:24,166 --> 04:37:26,533
who is going to be invited to attend it?

3722
04:37:27,433 --> 04:37:29,700
I expect you're going to receive questions from other members

3723
04:37:29,834 --> 04:37:32,734
of the public about this topic in particular tonight.

3724
04:37:34,133 --> 04:37:37,166
And then on page number 230.

3725
04:37:38,166 --> 04:37:40,667
Also to a lesser extent, page 2 29 with the storm

3726
04:37:40,667 --> 04:37:41,233
grain master.

3727
04:37:42,000 --> 04:37:44,934
Plan. It says that it's not done yet. The modeling

3728
04:37:44,934 --> 04:37:46,166
work is near done.

3729
04:37:47,100 --> 04:37:49,700
But it's scheduled for completion and city council consideration in

3730
04:37:49,700 --> 04:37:51,033
October of 26.

3731
04:37:52,033 --> 04:37:53,133
So given that

3732
04:37:54,166 --> 04:37:55,300
how do we know that we're.

3733
04:37:56,467 --> 04:38:00,767
99.6% compliance if we don't actually have a completed master

3734
04:38:01,000 --> 04:38:03,233
plan yet, is it impossible? There could be areas. We

3735
04:38:03,233 --> 04:38:03,433
just.

3736
04:38:04,667 --> 04:38:07,634
Don't know about right now or is it just, we

3737
04:38:07,634 --> 04:38:10,433
basically are done, but it gets to the formalized stage

3738
04:38:10,433 --> 04:38:13,133
with regards to the council's understanding.

3739
04:38:17,433 --> 04:38:20,767
In October, I'd also like to thank council mayor Martinez,

3740
04:38:20,900 --> 04:38:23,100
Ruben for asking the question about, you know, the gender

3741
04:38:23,100 --> 04:38:24,033
status of the various.

3742
04:38:25,033 --> 04:38:27,300
Restrooms things. The city is building out new restrooms and

3743
04:38:27,333 --> 04:38:27,767
so on.

3744
04:38:29,266 --> 04:38:32,000
And that's all my comments on this particular item. Thank

3745
04:38:32,000 --> 04:38:32,133
you.

3746
04:38:34,100 --> 04:38:34,500
Thank you.

3747
04:38:36,066 --> 04:38:37,467
May I respon.

3748
04:38:38,900 --> 04:38:42,266
With regards to the replacement of the three out of

3749
04:38:42,734 --> 04:38:44,433
seven HVAC units.

3750
04:38:45,433 --> 04:38:49,734
That's correct. They failed. So some of the offices.

3751
04:38:50,533 --> 04:38:52,133
Downstairs at, at the lower level.

3752
04:38:53,033 --> 04:38:55,500
Had no H operating HVAC and.

3753
04:38:56,266 --> 04:38:58,867
Upstairs where PC T V.

3754
04:39:00,100 --> 04:39:00,734
Is housed.

3755
04:39:02,000 --> 04:39:05,767
Housed. They had issues with humidity. Like they used to

3756
04:39:05,767 --> 04:39:07,634
collect water in, in a barrel.

3757
04:39:08,467 --> 04:39:10,066
And, and dump it.

3758
04:39:11,133 --> 04:39:12,133
Like a few times a week.

3759
04:39:13,233 --> 04:39:15,133
Which was not safe for the equipment.

3760
04:39:15,900 --> 04:39:16,767
That they have upstairs.

3761
04:39:18,000 --> 04:39:20,000
Upstairs the reason we did not replace.

3762
04:39:21,033 --> 04:39:23,667
All seven is because the, the funding was not sufficient.

3763
04:39:24,734 --> 04:39:26,767
But we did multiple assessments.

3764
04:39:27,900 --> 04:39:29,433
We also looked into

3765
04:39:30,634 --> 04:39:32,100
changing the system.

3766
04:39:32,834 --> 04:39:34,634
Into one system operating the whole building.

3767
04:39:35,700 --> 04:39:36,934
Or dual system.

3768
04:39:38,533 --> 04:39:40,900
Isolating upstairs from downstairs.

3769
04:39:41,767 --> 04:39:43,066
Downstairs, but the cheapest way.

3770
04:39:44,100 --> 04:39:47,000
For us to, to handle the emergency in a timely

3771
04:39:47,000 --> 04:39:47,266
manner.

3772
04:39:49,433 --> 04:39:50,734
Was to replace.

3773
04:39:51,700 --> 04:39:52,433
The the

3774
04:39:54,033 --> 04:39:56,734
of three units out of the seven and that's the

3775
04:39:57,033 --> 04:39:57,934
approach we took.

3776
04:39:59,266 --> 04:39:59,500
Was

3777
04:40:01,033 --> 04:40:04,266
and that's the advice we got from, from two suppliers,

3778
04:40:04,700 --> 04:40:04,867
actually.

3779
04:40:05,767 --> 04:40:07,000
And the maintenance

3780
04:40:11,233 --> 04:40:12,033
contractor.

3781
04:40:12,834 --> 04:40:13,266
Ended up the one.

3782
04:40:15,133 --> 04:40:19,133
Replacing the, the HVAC units for, for the city. They,

3783
04:40:19,133 --> 04:40:20,367
they are quite familiar.

3784
04:40:21,433 --> 04:40:24,367
With the, the various systems and the, the different buildings.

3785
04:40:25,567 --> 04:40:28,033
Buildings. So after the assessment,

3786
04:40:28,834 --> 04:40:32,000
that was the, the most efficient and, and cost.

3787
04:40:33,033 --> 04:40:36,066
Effective mean for us to, to address the problem.

3788
04:40:38,100 --> 04:40:41,934
With regards to the dock park. We did all the

3789
04:40:41,934 --> 04:40:42,467
improvements.

3790
04:40:43,500 --> 04:40:46,767
That we could do in-house for now.

3791
04:40:47,900 --> 04:40:52,000
Including upgrades to the restaurants, clean up painting.

3792
04:40:53,467 --> 04:40:56,433
Even the painting, the trash receptacles and port.

3793
04:40:57,233 --> 04:40:59,367
We removed the hazardous branches.

3794
04:41:00,467 --> 04:41:02,767
Branches and, and stumps. We are planning.

3795
04:41:04,033 --> 04:41:05,133
To add furniture.

3796
04:41:06,000 --> 04:41:07,634
And, and add grass areas.

3797
04:41:08,834 --> 04:41:12,767
Areas. So we developed some concepts for community services.

3798
04:41:14,000 --> 04:41:17,767
Services, but this will involve community consultation and, and feedback

3799
04:41:18,000 --> 04:41:21,934
what the community wants within that park. It's not, it's

3800
04:41:21,934 --> 04:41:26,734
not just us imagining things. The concept includes playgrounds for

3801
04:41:26,900 --> 04:41:28,066
the, the large dogs.

3802
04:41:29,033 --> 04:41:30,667
Versus the little dogs like.

3803
04:41:31,934 --> 04:41:32,900
That their skills.

3804
04:41:33,767 --> 04:41:36,767
It has sheeted areas. It has furniture.

3805
04:41:39,433 --> 04:41:39,700
But

3806
04:41:40,467 --> 04:41:43,033
at the end of the day, it'll be decided by

3807
04:41:43,033 --> 04:41:43,533
the community.

3808
04:41:45,000 --> 04:41:47,467
Enhance a community meeting.

3809
04:41:49,033 --> 04:41:52,667
Will be planned in the future by community services. And

3810
04:41:52,667 --> 04:41:55,066
we will support in any way we can. Some of

3811
04:41:55,066 --> 04:41:57,467
the additional improvements will be done. In-house.

3812
04:41:58,333 --> 04:41:59,934
But once final

3813
04:42:01,133 --> 04:42:02,133
decisions is made.

3814
04:42:04,233 --> 04:42:05,700
With regards to the store.

3815
04:42:06,734 --> 04:42:09,500
Water master plan versus the compliance.

3816
04:42:10,533 --> 04:42:12,634
These are, are two different things.

3817
04:42:13,734 --> 04:42:15,867
The, the master plan is being.

3818
04:42:18,100 --> 04:42:19,166
Prepared for the overall

3819
04:42:20,066 --> 04:42:22,500
system to analyze capacity.

3820
04:42:23,300 --> 04:42:26,767
Of the different lines and what needs to be replaced.

3821
04:42:27,900 --> 04:42:31,467
Replaced as well as in some areas, the, the, the.

3822
04:42:32,266 --> 04:42:37,233
Condition, but not throughout the condition of the various.

3823
04:42:39,066 --> 04:42:40,767
Access points and pipes.

3824
04:42:42,000 --> 04:42:44,367
Pipes. So that's the storm water master plan. And the

3825
04:42:44,367 --> 04:42:48,000
reason we came before council and asked for additional time

3826
04:42:48,100 --> 04:42:48,667
and budget.

3827
04:42:49,634 --> 04:42:55,033
Is because the initial evaluation identified additional locations that were

3828
04:42:55,033 --> 04:42:56,433
not taken into account.

3829
04:42:57,233 --> 04:42:58,500
Initially and that

3830
04:42:59,500 --> 04:43:02,133
it, it would've been the best time for us to,

3831
04:43:02,133 --> 04:43:05,166
to evaluate it once and for all. So the, the,

3832
04:43:05,166 --> 04:43:07,367
the difference in cost was worth it.

3833
04:43:08,467 --> 04:43:10,767
To do the modeling work for the overall.

3834
04:43:11,700 --> 04:43:14,433
City and not miss areas within the system.

3835
04:43:15,500 --> 04:43:16,700
And also

3836
04:43:17,767 --> 04:43:20,433
because we changed the land users initially.

3837
04:43:21,233 --> 04:43:24,033
It was based on existing land uses, but we changed

3838
04:43:24,066 --> 04:43:26,066
the assumptions to accommodate.

3839
04:43:27,100 --> 04:43:31,934
Projections forecasted land uses and associated usage.

3840
04:43:32,834 --> 04:43:35,667
That would impact the system. So the modeling work.

3841
04:43:36,734 --> 04:43:39,266
Was expanded to, to be able.

3842
04:43:40,066 --> 04:43:41,867
To to develop the master plan.

3843
04:43:42,734 --> 04:43:44,066
But that's an effort separate.

3844
04:43:45,033 --> 04:43:47,133
From the project that we currently.

3845
04:43:48,867 --> 04:43:53,634
Pursuing whether installation of trash capture devices at specific locations.

3846
04:43:54,934 --> 04:43:57,634
Locations sweeping. As I mentioned.

3847
04:43:58,367 --> 04:44:01,133
Revisions to the map. That's separate.

3848
04:44:02,000 --> 04:44:03,133
Under the compliance.

3849
04:44:06,300 --> 04:44:06,667
Okay.

3850
04:44:07,900 --> 04:44:10,467
Thank you. Thank you for that explanation. Do we have

3851
04:44:10,467 --> 04:44:11,000
any other.

3852
04:44:12,133 --> 04:44:14,867
Public comment. Yes, we have Anthony Voss brink.

3853
04:44:16,567 --> 04:44:17,500
Okay, go ahead, speaker.

3854
04:44:30,066 --> 04:44:32,300
Mr. Vaspring are you able to unmute yourself?

3855
04:44:37,000 --> 04:44:38,734
Can you hear me? Yes. Go ahead.

3856
04:44:40,900 --> 04:44:41,000
Yes.

3857
04:44:42,533 --> 04:44:44,100
I just wanted to comment that.

3858
04:44:45,166 --> 04:44:48,367
There was a pretty detailed presentation there. And.

3859
04:44:49,233 --> 04:44:50,300
I guess that was good. And.

3860
04:44:51,500 --> 04:44:53,233
I have to bring up a few things that.

3861
04:44:56,667 --> 04:44:59,367
The director may or may not be aware of that

3862
04:44:59,667 --> 04:45:02,066
when they went into the dog park to do some

3863
04:45:02,066 --> 04:45:02,467
of those.

3864
04:45:03,300 --> 04:45:05,467
Touch up repairs as needed.

3865
04:45:07,934 --> 04:45:10,300
I don't think they redid or painted the floors.

3866
04:45:11,300 --> 04:45:15,000
Floors or re re give it, give the refresh, look

3867
04:45:15,500 --> 04:45:16,300
to the interior.

3868
04:45:18,100 --> 04:45:19,467
Bathrooms that behind the

3869
04:45:20,934 --> 04:45:22,066
ballpark the

3870
04:45:23,100 --> 04:45:26,166
the baseball diamond there by the kids playground.

3871
04:45:27,066 --> 04:45:28,367
You know, the places

3872
04:45:29,567 --> 04:45:32,467
it smells, the, the, the pinks peeling off the floors.

3873
04:45:33,433 --> 04:45:35,634
Floors and, and some toilet seat.

3874
04:45:36,667 --> 04:45:39,133
Seats are missing there as well as in.

3875
04:45:39,900 --> 04:45:42,166
The the dog park bathroom.

3876
04:45:43,133 --> 04:45:45,133
The toilet, both toilet seats are still missing.

3877
04:45:46,000 --> 04:45:48,133
Off of there and it's really inconvenient.

3878
04:45:49,033 --> 04:45:50,900
But I guess some ladies don't mind, you know,

3879
04:45:51,700 --> 04:45:54,667
not having to sit down for anybody for that matter

3880
04:45:54,767 --> 04:45:57,266
on the cold stainless steel toilet bowl.

3881
04:45:58,333 --> 04:46:01,000
That's not any kind of an upgrade there.

3882
04:46:02,000 --> 04:46:04,367
And, and, and should be addressed. No, one's going back

3883
04:46:04,367 --> 04:46:07,467
to check the quality of work and that, that starts

3884
04:46:07,567 --> 04:46:12,300
with Mr. Joe Bingham and whoever he reports to obviously,

3885
04:46:12,867 --> 04:46:17,033
and down the line right now, the, the water plant

3886
04:46:17,300 --> 04:46:19,767
are in this repair. They're in, at.

3887
04:46:20,066 --> 04:46:22,233
The dog park, no one decided to check the water

3888
04:46:22,533 --> 04:46:23,500
fountain. It's all dirty.

3889
04:46:24,266 --> 04:46:26,300
With mud and it doesn't even work and other.

3890
04:46:27,100 --> 04:46:30,000
Water fountains or in disrepair not working behind the tennis

3891
04:46:30,033 --> 04:46:31,767
court. The only one I may mention.

3892
04:46:32,667 --> 04:46:34,767
Over in that whole area, since they closed down the

3893
04:46:35,033 --> 04:46:35,066
bathrooms.

3894
04:46:36,066 --> 04:46:38,467
Bathrooms, no mention was made about trying to reopen the

3895
04:46:38,700 --> 04:46:38,900
bathrooms.

3896
04:46:40,066 --> 04:46:42,033
Bathrooms because the city council can't get on the same

3897
04:46:42,066 --> 04:46:47,133
page with the director, Andrea Dwyer, with regard to those

3898
04:46:47,066 --> 04:46:50,533
two outdoor bathrooms that they got a reprieve on. Cuz

3899
04:46:50,533 --> 04:46:52,500
they're having to redo the library, I guess.

3900
04:46:53,634 --> 04:46:57,033
At at, at Mr. Vossen, you have 45 seconds. The,

3901
04:46:57,000 --> 04:47:00,166
the, so the soccer field with no mention was made

3902
04:47:00,166 --> 04:47:03,133
to the drainage problems that Andrew Dwyer missed.

3903
04:47:04,066 --> 04:47:05,734
On the soccer, the new soccer field.

3904
04:47:06,533 --> 04:47:08,433
That was supposed to be.

3905
04:47:09,433 --> 04:47:12,000
Put put in grain systems, as well as the trash

3906
04:47:12,033 --> 04:47:15,066
bins. Aren't new receptacles around the dog park.

3907
04:47:16,066 --> 04:47:18,000
Those were on order over several years ago.

3908
04:47:19,133 --> 04:47:20,533
But we shouldn't have to wait on those.

3909
04:47:22,000 --> 04:47:23,166
Any longer, those aren't

3910
04:47:24,066 --> 04:47:24,767
aren't those haven't been

3911
04:47:26,734 --> 04:47:29,367
repaired in all in, in, in the, in, in the

3912
04:47:29,367 --> 04:47:31,467
dark parks. And, and like I said, a lot of

3913
04:47:31,467 --> 04:47:32,300
the water fountains.

3914
04:47:33,433 --> 04:47:36,266
Pumps numerous three or four working throughout the parks and

3915
04:47:36,266 --> 04:47:39,033
the city and the bridge on Pinole valley road by

3916
04:47:39,033 --> 04:47:42,133
the fire station. That's damaged. Nobody wants to rep.

3917
04:47:46,033 --> 04:47:47,734
Okay. Thank you, speaker. Thank you.

3918
04:47:49,900 --> 04:47:52,000
Any other that concludes public comment.

3919
04:47:53,033 --> 04:47:54,767
Okay, so we'll bring it back to counsel.

3920
04:47:56,333 --> 04:47:57,133
Any other comment?

3921
04:47:59,000 --> 04:48:01,133
Okay. Are we looking for direction here or was this.

3922
04:48:02,000 --> 04:48:05,734
Informational leading into the CFIB conversation.

3923
04:48:07,066 --> 04:48:09,367
If I could through the mayor, accept the report, please

3924
04:48:09,433 --> 04:48:12,133
is all we're asking. Okay. Motion to accept the report.

3925
04:48:13,300 --> 04:48:13,767
Second.

3926
04:48:15,300 --> 04:48:17,367
Okay. please.

3927
04:48:18,300 --> 04:48:20,066
Mayor Tave. Yes.

3928
04:48:21,033 --> 04:48:22,900
Mayor pro 10 Murphy. Yes.

3929
04:48:23,700 --> 04:48:28,500
Council member Sai yes. Council member Martinez. Ruben. Yes. Council

3930
04:48:28,500 --> 04:48:30,533
member Toms. Yes. Motion carries. Thank you.

3931
04:48:31,300 --> 04:48:35,300
Okay, next item is our second citizens to be heard.

3932
04:48:36,066 --> 04:48:39,033
Item 13. This item is for citizens who do not

3933
04:48:39,033 --> 04:48:39,433
speak.

3934
04:48:40,266 --> 04:48:41,467
During the first citizens to be heard.

3935
04:48:42,533 --> 04:48:43,533
Thank you, director Ogun.

3936
04:48:44,834 --> 04:48:46,533
Goodie. Yes, we have Raphael menace online.

3937
04:48:48,000 --> 04:48:48,500
Go ahead, speaker.

3938
04:48:51,433 --> 04:48:52,033
Thank you.

3939
04:48:53,500 --> 04:48:57,433
So good evening again, Eric council staff, public prince Rael,

3940
04:48:57,433 --> 04:48:59,100
mass resident of, and.

3941
04:49:00,100 --> 04:49:03,266
I've been able to join y'all here tonight because I'm

3942
04:49:03,300 --> 04:49:07,300
a, well, even given the current very low levels of

3943
04:49:07,300 --> 04:49:09,500
COVID 19 and influenza a.

3944
04:49:10,333 --> 04:49:14,133
In the whitewater sites around Pinole and the stating country

3945
04:49:14,333 --> 04:49:15,133
more generally.

3946
04:49:17,834 --> 04:49:18,500
There's still

3947
04:49:19,300 --> 04:49:22,367
sun bugs going around out there. I guess I'll spare

3948
04:49:22,367 --> 04:49:23,000
you all the.

3949
04:49:24,500 --> 04:49:26,000
Gory details. But

3950
04:49:27,133 --> 04:49:28,934
I suspect it may be contagious. So I figured I

3951
04:49:28,934 --> 04:49:30,900
should err, on the side of not coming to the

3952
04:49:30,900 --> 04:49:32,700
council meeting in person and putting.

3953
04:49:33,767 --> 04:49:36,066
Council members, staff and members of the public present in

3954
04:49:36,066 --> 04:49:36,467
person.

3955
04:49:37,233 --> 04:49:37,300
At risk.

3956
04:49:40,934 --> 04:49:42,066
I would also note that.

3957
04:49:44,233 --> 04:49:46,000
Civilization is a good thing.

3958
04:49:46,934 --> 04:49:50,000
And threatening to destroy. Civiliz.

3959
04:49:50,734 --> 04:49:51,900
Civilizations because we're

3960
04:49:53,233 --> 04:49:54,300
unhappy about

3961
04:49:55,100 --> 04:49:56,533
how a war is going, is.

3962
04:50:03,500 --> 04:50:04,533
The very least

3963
04:50:05,433 --> 04:50:09,033
unworthy of what America should be. If not.

3964
04:50:11,000 --> 04:50:12,867
I'll work from, in its own. Right.

3965
04:50:13,767 --> 04:50:15,433
Making threats too, you know, destroy.

3966
04:50:16,266 --> 04:50:18,000
Civilian infrastructure on mass and.

3967
04:50:19,433 --> 04:50:21,934
Obama country back to S stone age. I mean,

3968
04:50:22,734 --> 04:50:23,433
imagine if

3969
04:50:25,033 --> 04:50:28,634
some foreign president say those exact same things about the

3970
04:50:28,634 --> 04:50:30,467
city of Pinole. You know, the city of Pinole is

3971
04:50:30,667 --> 04:50:32,000
terrible. They're not doing what we want.

3972
04:50:33,033 --> 04:50:35,033
So we're gonna bomb their bridges. We're going bomb their

3973
04:50:35,033 --> 04:50:37,900
wastewater and treatment plant. We're gonna bomb them back into

3974
04:50:38,000 --> 04:50:38,367
milestone age.

3975
04:50:40,734 --> 04:50:41,700
How would you feel

3976
04:50:42,533 --> 04:50:45,300
about the leader that called for that destruction.

3977
04:50:46,333 --> 04:50:48,266
Whether or not, they actually carried through on it.

3978
04:50:50,066 --> 04:50:50,867
How would you feel

3979
04:50:52,133 --> 04:50:54,133
about the government.

3980
04:50:55,133 --> 04:50:57,233
That didn't restrain that leader.

3981
04:50:58,166 --> 04:51:00,734
From making this statement in the first place or from

3982
04:51:00,734 --> 04:51:01,634
implementing it.

3983
04:51:02,500 --> 04:51:05,934
Now, fortunately at the time I'm making this statement, it

3984
04:51:06,066 --> 04:51:07,166
appears that.

3985
04:51:09,066 --> 04:51:11,367
Were going to try and have a truce.

3986
04:51:12,266 --> 04:51:15,300
For two weeks. We'll see whether Israel agrees to that

3987
04:51:15,333 --> 04:51:16,500
in Lebanon or not.

3988
04:51:17,433 --> 04:51:17,433
But

3989
04:51:23,100 --> 04:51:25,300
we're better than this as a country.

3990
04:51:26,333 --> 04:51:26,934
We have to be

3991
04:51:29,634 --> 04:51:30,133
that's all.

3992
04:51:31,100 --> 04:51:33,066
Thank you. Thank you, speaker.

3993
04:51:34,000 --> 04:51:36,767
Next speaker, please. Richard castle.

3994
04:51:42,734 --> 04:51:46,767
I thought that we limited our comments to the particular

3995
04:51:46,767 --> 04:51:47,667
subject to, and.

3996
04:51:48,667 --> 04:51:49,033
Thank you.

3997
04:51:56,834 --> 04:51:59,367
Oh, yeah, maybe that's Mr. Castle.

3998
04:52:00,667 --> 04:52:02,133
Let me, let me go ahead and read the.

3999
04:52:03,100 --> 04:52:06,700
The difference between public comment and then the citizens to

4000
04:52:06,700 --> 04:52:07,734
be, to be heard.

4001
04:52:11,000 --> 04:52:12,367
Okay, citizens should be heard.

4002
04:52:13,433 --> 04:52:15,033
Heards open only to members. And this is the second

4003
04:52:15,033 --> 04:52:17,300
one open only to members of the public who did

4004
04:52:17,300 --> 04:52:19,867
not speak under the first citizens to be heard. Agenda

4005
04:52:20,033 --> 04:52:20,533
item six.

4006
04:52:21,433 --> 04:52:24,066
Citizens may speak under any item, not listed on the

4007
04:52:24,066 --> 04:52:27,033
agenda. The time limit is three minutes for city council
