160
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:34,560

161
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,560

162
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,560
have inspired and supported us along

163
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,560
the way. This recognition is just

164
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,560
not about us,

165
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,560
but about 20 working together to create

166
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,560
something meaningful. What I think

167
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,560
about the journey

168
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,560
that is led to this moment, I realize

169
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,560
what truly makes the committee strong

170
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,560
is not any one individual effort,

171
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,560
but the collective strength of its people.

172
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,560
obviously, he brought them up, we

173
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,560
have coach sam

174
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,560
back there. Coach was a.

175
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,560
always believe in the power of connection

176
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,560
. The idea that when we come together,

177
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,560
we can

178
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,560
achieve more than we ever could alone.

179
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,560
whether it is helping a neighbor,

180
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,560
entering the

181
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,560
next generation,

182
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,560
simply lending a listening ear to

183
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,560
those in need, it is the smallest

184
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,560
american act that laid the foundation

185
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,560

186
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,560

187
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,560
moments of support and unity that

188
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,560
we find the true essence of community.

189
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,560
for

190
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,560
kids living in neighborhoods where

191
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,560
violence or criminal activity might

192
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,560
be common,

193
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,560
boxing provides a safe outlet, with

194
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,560

it combines physical and mental --

199
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,560

kids away from violence and offer

201
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,560
them a positive path forward. We have

202
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,560
kids who

203
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,560
show great promise and dedication

204
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,560
in the sport of boxing

205
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,560
, but some cannot afford to continue

206
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,560
training. We believe every child,

207
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,560
regardless

208
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,560
of financial background, to have the

209
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,560
opportunity to develop the discipline,

210
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,560
fitness, and self-confidence to

211
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,560
the sport. Our program currently serves

212
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,560

214
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,560
parents, sponsor. When they cannot

215
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,560
afford it,

216
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,560
we dip into our pockets to make sure

217
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,560
that our bills are paid and the doors

218
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,560

219
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,560
know how important it is, not for

00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,560

221
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,560

we have over 600 employees. Civilian

351
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:04,560

to vehicles that are crushed and someone

388
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,560
needs to get out.

389
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:15,560
they are the professionals .

390
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,560
there are two of those in the county.

391
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,560
one is in concorde

392
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,560
staffed with three and one right here

393
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,560
at

394
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,560
-- point. We also have our hazmat

395
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,560
division. They work with the state

396
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,560
oh yes. They can travel anywhere up

397
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,560
and down the states.

398
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,560
they are

399
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,560
the biggest nerds we have in the fire district.

400
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,560
they know chemical compositions,

401
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,560
what is happening, why it is happening,

402
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,560
what it is going to do. It is kind

403
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,560
of a bigger addition

404
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,560
to what the district has done. They

405
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,560
have been out

406
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,560
here in pittsburg

407
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,560
and industry . Railroads

408
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,560
with railcars leaking

409
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:08,560
, mysterious gases

410
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:09,560
, a very slow

411
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:10,560
painful process. They are very much

412
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,560
professionals. We also have our prevention

413
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,560
bureau.

414
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,560
we have a staff of five law enforcement

415
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,560
, fire investigators

416
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:23,560
. We continue to grow. We have paramedics

417
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,560
on every piece of

418
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,560
apparatus which is great.

419
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,560
we have our

420
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:31,560
fema urban search and rescue folks

421
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,560
read one of our assistant chiefs was

422
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,560
just

423
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:40,560
a ploy to kentucky for the tornadoes

424
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,560
and weather events happening out there.

425
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,560
a lot of good

426
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,560
stuff. In our regional fire and ems

427
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,560
communications center

428
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,560
is continuing to grow. If

429
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,560
you're in the area, pleasant hill

430
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:50,560
off of tree boulevard, which turns

431
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,560
into dairy. You

432
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,560
will see it down to the studs . They

433
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,560
are rebuilding

434
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,560
it to make it state of the art so

435
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,560
it will not just be

436
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,560
the bones it will be all of the computer

437
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,560
equipment. A lot of

438
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,560
good stuff. 2024 we graduated an academy

439
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,560
of

440
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,560
60 folks . Excuse me. 13 folks.

441
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,560
class 60. They just got a probation

442
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,560
actually this

443
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,560
last week. We have two

444
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,560
new ladder trucks

445
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,560
we talked about. Six new engines coming.

446
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,560
the byron boys ranch. If remember

447
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,560
that area, it was acquired by the

448
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,560
fire district. So wildland fire

449
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:31,560
center. During

450
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,560
the summer months, you will see a

451
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,560
helicopter that we

452
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,560
contract out there. You will see them

453
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,560
drop waterbed are handful of folks

454
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,560
are

455
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,560
out there. We have water tenders out there.

456
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,560
a lot of good

457
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,560
things are happening with that. We

458
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,560
just finished

459
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,560
our organizational

460
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,560
dei training this last year.

461
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,560
and we launched a k-9

462
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,560
peer support k-9 program. If you need

463
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,560
to love and

464
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,560
a god

465
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,560
--love on a dog, we have four. Two

466
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,560
our support dogs. We have

467
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,560
an arson dog and then we have a human

468
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,560
live search and rescue dog. That is

469
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,560
a lot of good

470
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,560
stuff happening.

471
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,560
looking ahead to 2025. Next

472
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,560
month, we're going to graduate academy

473
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,560
61. That will be 23 folks coming out

474
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,560
of that. Rodeo hercules you may have

475
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,560
seen in the news. If you

476
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,560
paid attention all to what we are doing

477
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,560
, we are going

478
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,560
to annex

479
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,560
rodeo hercules fire department. There

480
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,560
are two stations out there.

481
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,560
what

482
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,560
is really mean to the city of pittsburg?

483
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,560
it means more capacity. More

484
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,560
engines coming your way. Or firefighters

485
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,560
on

486
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,560
the streets.

487
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,560
it is a good thing for us. We talked about

488
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,560
the communications

489
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,560
center. We have got new stations happening

490
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,560
out further east in brentwood.

491
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:56,560
and in our marine program continues

492
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,560
to expand and where in

493
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,560
the process of the ambulance rfp.

494
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,560
we are working together

495
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,560
with a public/private partnership

496
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,560
with amr

497
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,560
to provide really good

498
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,560
service with our emr folks.

499
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,560
if you look up

500
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,560
and down the state of california,

501
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,560
we are all having a problem

502
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,560
. Every fire department is

503
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:25,560
hiring paramedics. If you are a paramedic

504
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,560
and you want to become a firefighter,

505
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,560
you're going to get a

506
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,560
job anywhere you want to go. We are

507
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:30,560
having a hard time hiring

508
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,560
paramedics specifically. We got creative

509
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,560
these last couple years.

510
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:36,560
we will take our newer

511
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,560
firefighters are interested in going

512
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,560
through the paramedic program. They

513
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,560
work out of the san

514
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:44,560
pablo community college out there.

515
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,560
we just graduated 12.

516
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:48,560
we graduated 12 previous to that.

517
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:49,560
we are finding creative

518
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,560
ways to deal with problems we are facing.

519
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,560
for the

520
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,560
city of pittsburg, you can see the

521
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,560
calls for 2024.

522
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,560
over 10,000 calls. A lot of fires.

523
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,560
a lot of ems calls for that

524
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,560
is the majority of what we have been

525
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,560
running on.

526
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,560
you can see the rescues, vehicle

527
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,560
accidents.

528
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,560
highway 4, you see it all the time

529
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,560
on the news.

530
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,560
the most dangerous place we are going

531
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,560
to work . That

532
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,560
is on the freeway. I have been doing

533
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,560
this job for 22 years now.

534
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,560
I have had plenty of experiences

535
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,560
in

536
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,560
the freeways. That is what scares

537
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,560
me the most. Having my personal on

538
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,560
the

539
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,560
free we

540
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,560
--freeways scares me even more. If

541
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:41,560
the public needs to hear one thing,

542
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,560
it is slow down. Put your phone

543
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,560
away. Get home safely. We have crashed

544
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,560
a lot of fire engines

545
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,560
that are

546
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,560
stopped on the side of the road because

547
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,560
people are not paying attention or

548
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,560
they have been prepared. A lot of accidents

549
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,560
and highway 4 seems to be a hot spot

550
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,560
for it. Since the beginning

551
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:02,560
of the year, you have had three significant

552
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,560
structure fires on biking, clear

553
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,560
wood, and alvarado. If you want

554
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,560
more details on that,

555
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,560
I can get the ipo

556
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,560
and send you some of that. Some of

557
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,560
that info. And

558
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:17,560
since the beginning of the year, you

559
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,560
can see we are trending towards the

560
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,560
same amount of calls and

561
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,560
we get a little bit more during the year.

562
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,560
I want to

563
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:27,560
talk a little bit about wildland fire

564
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,560
preparedness. We were just

565
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,560
talking about

566
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,560
how the greens or the

567
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,560
hills are really green. It is going

568
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,560
to change in a matter of minutes.

569
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,560
I mean,

570
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,560
it is literally minutes it is going

571
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,560
to change. We want

572
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,560
you to know your cws alerts

573
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,560
, the

574
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,560
sony 11 . I will give you some qr

575
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,560
codes for that. You can grab it and

576
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,560
get out. Learning the difference between

577
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,560
a warning

578
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,560
and an order. We are going to give

579
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,560
a warning

580
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,560
,

581
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,560
law enforcement is going to say, it

582
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,560
is an order and we have to go.

583
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,560
we work well with our partners in

584
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,560
law enforcement. Some key things about

585
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,560
just

586
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,560
the initial beginnings of an incident.

587
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,560
there is not

588
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,560
a lot of information you are going

589
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,560
to get right away. For us, it is a

590
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,560
life think we are

591
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,560
worried about. We just want you out

592
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,560
of the danger zone

593
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,560
as quickly as possible. As the

594
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,560
incident begins to expand, we start

595
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,560
talking about routes

596
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,560
, evacuation, where you need to go

597
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,560
, where red cross is

598
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,560
going to be put all of that stuff.

599
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,560
in the very beginning of an incident,

600
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,560
you should already have preplanned

601
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,560
how

602
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,560
my going to get out of my neighborhood?

603
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,560
and where my going to go? That information

604
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,560
is not going

605
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,560
to be given to you in the first 15-30

606
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,560
minutes of the incident.

607
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,560
it takes

608
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:54,560
time to develop and figure all of

609
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,560
those things out. The

610
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,560
cws alerts sign up, if you use this

611
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,560
qr code

612
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,560
on the left ear, you can register

613
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,560
to get alerts in your area.

614
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,560
when we communicate through the

615
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,560
sheriff's office, for a community warning,

616
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,560
they run

617
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,560
the program.

618
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,560
they tell what zone it's in and that

619
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:19,560
is the

620
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,560
one on the right here. This will show

621
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,560
you where you live

622
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,560
and what evacuation zone you actually

623
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,560
live in. Two kind of

624
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:36,560
important things. Cal fire has changed

625
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,560
the hazard severity

626
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,560
zones. If you want information on

627
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,560
that, there is a qr code for that

628
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,560
as well. It does have impact on insurance

629
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,560
and all other kinds

630
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,560
of things. We propose a lot

631
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:54,560
of the changes but at the end of the day,

632
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,560
we are keeping it as is. With

633
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,560
that, if there are questions, I will

634
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,560
take them. I will not

635
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,560
get a picture with the mayor like

636
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,560
the other group did.

637
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:06,560
» [ laughter ] >> thank you for the

638
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,560
presentation. Definitely heroes on

639
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:08,560
the trinity. Definitely appreciate

640
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,560
all the work you in the department

641
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,560
are doing and

642
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,560
appreciate you coming to give the update.

643
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,560
I left my

644
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:21,560
colleagues, does anybody have any questions?

645
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,560
vice mayor adams?

646
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:23,560
» thank you to

647
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,560
the mayor. I had a question about the

648
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:25,560
significant calls you mentioned? Are

649
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,560
those the

650
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,560
theories of incidents that happened

651
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,560
at this location? Or was this a single

652
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,560
incident

653
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,560
when you reference

654
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,560
biking, theater,

655
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,560
or alvarado?

656
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,560
» yeah, those are three different

657
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,560
working structure files that we call

658
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,560
a working structure fire is that we

659
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,560
are going to be engaged in a

660
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,560
fire for a period of

661
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:48,560
time. It is not just a trash can on

662
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,560
the side of

663
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,560
the house

664
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:54,560
where structure is involved. These

665
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,560
are three separate, on three

666
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,560
separate dates as well.

667
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,560
» yes, okay. I

668
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,560
was curious, as you're describing

669
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,560
it,

670
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,560
is wondering if it was something reoccurring

671
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,560
in a particular location? And then

672
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,560
I had a separate question around

673
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,560
fireworks safety. And incidents

674
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,560
around that?

675
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,560
I talked to residents in certain neighborhoods

676
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,560
and they get concerned about fireworks.

677
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,560
things like that. You do prevention education?

678
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:30,560
how many incidents have you seen

679
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:31,560
in our region related to that? Just

680
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,560
for awareness?

681
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,560
» quite a bit, actually. In our

682
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,560
--our fire investigators will look

683
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,560
with

684
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:39,560
law enforcement as we get closer to

685
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,560
the fourth of july to

686
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,560
do, I don't know what you call them?

687
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,560
fireworks bus.

688
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,560
we have a lot of that every

689
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,560
year. We

690
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,560
of staff on the fourth of july, meaning

691
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,560
we

692
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,560
put more units into service for more

693
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,560
personal in the

694
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:57,560
service because it gets crazy. The

695
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,560
best fireworks I've ever seen

696
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:01,560
is in the middle of a field in martinez.

697
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,560
standing there

698
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:09,560
watching the public

699
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:10,560
light off a barrage of fireworks but

700
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,560
it was

701
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,560
something that we cannot control alone.

702
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:13,560
it takes a lot of education. It seems

703
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,560
like

704
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,560
every year

705
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,560
, in the county, fireworks are illegal,

706
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,560
but somehow, they still get here

707
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,560
did you feel the dry tender areas

708
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,560
around the neighborhood . That stuff

709
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,560
lights off very quickly. So

710
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,560
from about dusk when it is starting to

711
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,560
get dark until

712
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:33,560
about 11:30 at night, it is pandemonium

713
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,560
for us

714
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,560
we are running a lot of calls and

715
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,560
a lot of them

716
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:45,560
are small fires and some build into

717
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,560
your, 20-50 acre fires. We do education.

718
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:47,560
we will start

719
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,560
to see that as we get closer to the

720
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:49,560
fourth of july. Your social media

721
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,560
and

722
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,560
through other media programs

723
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:54,560
when we get closer. Yeah.

724
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,560
» okay.

725
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,560
thank you. The other season

726
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,560
, we do see works

727
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,560
around the lunar new year. So

728
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,560
maybe considering used activity, adding that

729
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,560
to the education canopy period?

730
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:10,560
» 

731
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,560
absolutely.

732
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,560
» thank you for this

733
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:13,560
great presentation. Fire is very important

734
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,560
in making

735
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,560
sure we are doing our part as we have

736
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,560
climate

737
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,560
change happening.

738
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,560
» councilmember kobata. >> I was

739
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,560
wondering,

740
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,560
what are you using

741
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,560
for water when there is a fire and

742
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:39,560
you have a helicopter? What places

743
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,560
do you get the water to put out the

744
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,560
fires?

745
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,560
» the helicopters will

746
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:43,560
dip into the delta quite a bit, especially

747
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,560
if it is closer to hear.

748
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,560
on the other side of the county, if

749
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,560
we are further east, there is

750
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:49,560
a spot where we can get that from

751
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,560
, as

752
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,560
well as the delta.

753
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,560
they will get

754
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,560
stuff out of pools if they have to.

755
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,560
we are in the process

756
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,560
of purchasing the helipad's. They

757
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,560
will be strategically located

758
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,560
further west . So

759
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,560
the concord million is

760
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,560
a spot. East bay is a spot.

761
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,560
the marsh creek detention center

762
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,560
is a spot. There

763
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,560
are these giant water tanks that are

764
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,560
close to

765
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,560
a water source. They can fill up

766
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,560
. Some people out there to kind of

767
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:29,560
manage those.

768
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,560
» sometimes

769
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,560
do you use, the water treatment plant

770
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,560
in pittsburg, correct?

771
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,560
» no.

772
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:35,560
they will dip

773
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,560
right out of the delta because it

774
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,560
is right there.

775
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,560
» okay. I

776
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,560
have seen helicopters scoop up water

777
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,560
there in the past and I

778
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:43,560
was wondering if that was something

779
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,560
that

780
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,560
was a regular thing? Or if it was

781
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:57,560
just because

782
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,560
it was closer to the fire?

783
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,560
» it is

784
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:00,560
going to be incident

785
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:01,560
dependent. Where the incident is can

786
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,560
we are newer to the aviation game

787
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:03,560
could we

788
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:04,560
just started contracting last year.

789
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,560
we put the pilot is from up north

790
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:06,560
in washington.

791
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,560
we put a captain on the helicopter

792
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,560
as well to help

793
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,560
communication and other things that

794
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,560
we are going to get most of the helicopters

795
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,560
that are going to come from cal fire.

796
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,560
the black up helicopters and they

797
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,560
drop a lot of water into a

798
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,560
lot of this stuff. The other aircraft

799
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:26,560
that are coming is the

800
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,560
fixed wing aircraft you will see one

801
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,560
flying one way and another

802
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,560
couple of flying another way. The

803
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:32,560
one flying by itself this way is

804
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,560
kind of the air traffic controller.

805
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,560
the other ones like the

806
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:38,560
other way are doing the

807
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,560
water retardant traps. They're coming

808
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,560
out of hollister and

809
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,560
is somewhere else that I'm not aware of.

810
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,560
» okay, yeah I was going to

811
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:49,560
ask you approximately how much water

812
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,560
you are allowed to

813
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,560
use from there. Okay.

814
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,560
» no. >> thank you. >>

815
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,560
and other questions,

816
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:01,560
thank you for coming out and making

817
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,560
the presentation.

818
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:10,560
[ applause ]

819
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,560
we are going to move on to item

820
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,560
number seven.

821
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:17,560
I will turn it over to the

822
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,560
city manager.

823
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,560
» thank you very much,

824
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,560
mr. Mayor. The ever exciting future

825
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:21,560
budget look,

826
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:22,560
fiscal year 2025-26. Paul, I don't

827
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,560
know if you've

828
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,560
ever --many people in the

829
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:34,560
audience. And , you know, let's go ahead

830
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,560
and see where we are looking forward.

831
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,560
» thank you,

832
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,560
mr. City manager. Good evening here

833
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,560
in city council.

834
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,560
fiscal year 2025-26 budget workshop

835
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,560
will provide a broad

836
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,560
overview of expenditures focusing

837
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,560
on the city of pittsburg's general

838
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,560
fund.

839
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,560
these are some of the assumptions

840
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,560
with regard to the 20 year

841
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,560
projection tool that we will be presenting

842
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,560
over the next several slides.

843
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:02,560
as the

844
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:03,560
budget process continues, staff will

845
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,560
be performing further analysis on both

846
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:05,560
revenues and expenditures.

847
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,560
they have been conservatively estimated

848
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:12,560
for this presentation.

849
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:13,560
--for example, right now, budgeted

850
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:19,560
at a 1% increase.

851
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,560
they may very

852
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,560
well come in higher than that 1%.

853
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:23,560
staff will continue to present updated

854
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,560
projections

855
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,560
as the budget process continues. As

856
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:26,560
staff completes their expenditure

857
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,560
estimates, the goal

858
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,560
has been to keep expenditures

859
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,560
at fiscal year 2024 levels.

860
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,560
costs, however, to rise, and the model

861
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:40,560
does reflect increases.

862
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,560
scenario one.

863
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:43,560
this shows a 1% increase in salaries

864
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,560
and benefits while

865
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,560
all other assumptions remain the same.

866
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,560
this projection estimates an

867
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,560
operating deficit

868
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,560
for 2025-26 at $911,550.

869
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,560
that grows to

870
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:07,560
track $22 million in

871
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,560
2026-27. Stop at anytime if you have questions.

872
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,560
I would like as a kind of go

873
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,560
through the next several slides to

874
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,560
take a look

875
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,560
at the light green or aqua bars. Those are

876
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,560
, they

877
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,560
shrink as expenditures go up.

878
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,560
it will become clear as we

879
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,560
go through these flights here.

880
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,560
keeping all of the assumptions the

881
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,560
same with the assumption of keeping

882
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,560
salaries to

883
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,560
1.5 increases. The

884
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:37,560
incoming deficit increases two --

885
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,560
as of

886
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,560
6/30/26

887
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,560
but that the rigor grows to

888
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,560
10 $22 million .

889
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,560
the half increase in salaries and

890
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,560
benefits increased general fund

891
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,560
salary and benefit by about

892
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,560
$130,000. Each

893
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,560
have percent . About

894
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:07,560
$130,000 increase.

895
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,560
a 2% increase in salaries and benefits

896
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,560
increases

897
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,560
the deficit of $1,169,641

898
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,560
for 2025-26.

899
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,560
in 2026-27,

900
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,560
that increases to one $.9 million

901
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,560
--

902
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,560
1.9 million

903
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,560
dollars. And

904
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,560
--this increases the deficit to

905
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,560
1.3 million

906
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,560
dollars in 2025-26 but

907
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,560
in increases to .2

908
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,560
million four 2026-27. As you

909
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:53,560
can see, those aqua bars are shrinking.

910
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:58,560
okay.

911
00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:59,560
finally, 3% increase in salaries and

912
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,560
benefits

913
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,560
will increase the deficit to

914
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:11,560
1.4, and

915
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:12,560
2.4

916
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,560
in 2026-27. As we scroll through the

917
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,560
slides, you can see the

918
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:18,560
bars represent

919
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:19,560
the reserve balances and how they

920
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:20,560
are affected. If you scroll all the

921
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:21,560
way back

922
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,560
a little bit to the first, these reserves

923
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,560
are quite a bit higher

924
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,560
as

925
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,560
expenditures are increased. You can

926
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,560
see kind

927
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:41,560
of a dramatic drop in our reserves.

928
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,560
finance staff has

929
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:43,560
also projected an analysis based upon

930
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,560
historical actuals, as well as the

931
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,560
2024-25 midyear budget.

932
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:47,560
staff has presented three scenarios.

933
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:48,560
pessimistic,

934
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,560
realistic, and optimistic. For fiscal

935
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,560
2022 actuals

936
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:56,560
report --negative far make an adjustment

937
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,560
to the . While

938
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:05,560
the 2024 actual revenue is reflect a

939
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:06,560
2.6 percent market value adjustment.

940
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:07,560
these are on paper only as required

941
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,560
by the governmental standards board

942
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,560
in either the

943
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,560
loss or gain

944
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,560
have been or will be realized in other words

945
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,560
, they do not impact the budget. However,

946
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:18,560
they do

947
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:23,560
inflate the revenues with the actuals

948
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,560
as we break it down. The fiscal year

949
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:27,560
2024 revenues reflect one-time project

950
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:28,560
returned

951
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,560
to source revenues of 2.1 dollars.

952
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:36,560
excuse me. The comparable 2024 revenue

953
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,560
, when adjusting for the fair market

954
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,560
value adjustment, as well as the return

955
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,560
to source one-time revenue, is about

956
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,560
$64.8 million.

957
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,560
with that said, businesslike projects a

958
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,560
1% increase

959
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:56,560
to salaries and benefits.

960
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,560
the three scenarios project

961
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,560
in the working capital reserves of 32%

962
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:08,560
for pessimistic.

963
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:09,560
35% for realistic, and 37%

964
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,560
respectively. These reserve percentages

965
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:12,560
are being presented and rounded to

966
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,560
the

967
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,560
nearest whole dollar.

968
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:23,560
this slide represents

969
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,560
a 1.5 percent leaving

970
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,560
reserve balances for the three scenarios

971
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,560
at

972
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,560
the two, 35, and 36%. The

973
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,560
2% increase in salaries and benefits

974
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,560
projects a new working capital

975
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,560
reserve percentages at

976
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,560
6/30, 26, at 32, 34, and 36%.

977
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:45,560
in a 2.5% increase to salaries and

978
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,560
benefits projects

979
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,560
and a reserve balances of 31 , 34,

980
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,560
and 35%.

981
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,560
oregon, pessimistic ,

982
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,560
realistic, and optimistic

983
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,560
projections. I should stop for a moment and

984
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,560
show you

985
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,560
. The pessimistic takes the midyear

986
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:08,560
revenue is and presents no increase

987
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:14,560
to the revenues.

988
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,560
a realistic is across the board of a

989
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,560
2% increase revenues. Optimistic

990
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,560
projects a straight-line 3% increase

991
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,560
to a revenues but again, staff will

992
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,560
be diving further into

993
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:27,560
the general fund revenues as the budget

994
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,560
process progresses.

995
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,560
and then for operating expenditures

996
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,560
other than personal costs

997
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,560
, the pessimistic shows

998
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,560
up 3% increase

999
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:42,560
in our

1000
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,560
expenditures. The realistic, 2% increase

1001
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,560
to managers. And optimistic, 1% increase

1002
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,560
to expenditures , with again, stepping directed

1003
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,560
to try to live

1004
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:53,560
within our fiscal year 2024 budget.

1005
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:59,560
each

1006
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:00,560
have

1007
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:01,560
percent increase to personnel costs

1008
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:02,560
reduces the operating reserve percentage

1009
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,560
by about

1010
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,560
a quarter to a half percent to 3%

1011
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,560
increase in salaries and benefits

1012
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,560
projects ending worker capital reserve

1013
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,560
balances of 31%

1014
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,560
, 34%, and 35% for the three projected scenarios.

1015
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,560
if the council chooses,

1016
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,560
their potential project funny dollars

1017
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:23,560
that could be returned to source ,

1018
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,560
increasing the general

1019
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,560
been reserves. The not

1020
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:38,560
yet returned to staff has received direction

1021
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,560
at the fiscal year

1022
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:41,560
2025 budget to return to source the

1023
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:42,560
items identified in the midyear budget.

1024
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:43,560
that will

1025
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:44,560
positively impact the 2024-25 deficit,

1026
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,560
reducing that deficit to around $40,000.

1027
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,560
for 2025-26, it is

1028
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:51,560
estimated there will be about $100

1029
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:52,560
million of

1030
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:53,560
general fund reserves the were previously

1031
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,560
transferred out to project funds

1032
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,560
to fund the

1033
00:39:58,560 --> 00:39:59,560
fema winter storm project but will

1034
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,560
now be

1035
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:02,560
available to be returned back to the

1036
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,560
general fund reserves.

1037
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,560
this slide

1038
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,560
down here at the bottom, as you

1039
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:11,560
can see , this takes both of those.

1040
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:17,560
it takes

1041
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:18,560
the $651,000 of

1042
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,560
potential 2024-25 midyear adjustments,

1043
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,560
and the

1044
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,560
1.2 million

1045
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:26,560
dollars for the slideshows if you

1046
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,560
take the ending balance of 38.1%,

1047
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,560
the blue shaded at the

1048
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,560
bottom include those returned

1049
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,560
to source on

1050
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:47,560
the expenditures

1051
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:48,560
or revenues back into the general fund

1052
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:49,560
and

1053
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:50,560
with that, I will turn it over to

1054
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:51,560
the city manager.

1055
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:52,560
» we have seen

1056
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:53,560
a lot

1057
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:54,560
of numbers your pet a lot of different

1058
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:55,560
scenarios. And I want to maybe

1059
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:56,560
summarize a bit of the narrative here.

1060
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,560
bottom line, and as you know from

1061
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,560
the last

1062
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:00,560
meeting, with the midyear, this current

1063
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:01,560
fiscal

1064
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,560
year, 2024-25, we do not have a structural

1065
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,560
deficit. A lot of that is a

1066
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:07,560
credit to

1067
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,560
this council in previous councils

1068
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,560
establishing a fiscal sustainability

1069
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:18,560
ordinance. Living within our means.

1070
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:19,560
or expenditures. We have lost

1071
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:24,560
a couple of different revenue generators.

1072
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:25,560
target. We have

1073
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:26,560
had some closures. U.s. Steel. Things

1074
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:27,560
that have taken away some revenues

1075
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:28,560
that we

1076
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,560
have a new revenue source. It does

1077
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,560
not fill in all the gap there.

1078
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,560
but overall,

1079
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:36,560
there are certain one-time expenditures

1080
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,560
that this

1081
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:40,560
council is

1082
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,560
directed such as infrastructure for

1083
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:43,560
roads.

1084
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,560
for certain types of maintenance.

1085
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,560
trying to

1086
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:54,560
address needs. Whenever you have seen

1087
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:55,560
a deficit in the last couple of years,

1088
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,560
after he built up a nine plus million

1089
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,560
dollars surplus in one year,

1090
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,560
that is

1091
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:03,560
the council carefully spending that down.

1092
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:04,560
we

1093
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,560
are at the point now where we spent

1094
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:07,560
that down and we are doing

1095
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,560
various projects. Now is the time

1096
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:10,560
where we have to be

1097
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:11,560
careful because, you know, expenditures, whether

1098
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:12,560
that is through salaries or ongoing

1099
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,560
increase in

1100
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:18,560
operational costs , are going up. So

1101
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,560
it will be a

1102
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,560
fine balance to make sure we do

1103
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,560
not cross over the one-time expenditures

1104
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,560
into an ongoing

1105
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:33,560
structural deficit.

1106
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,560
hopefully, people do not read as

1107
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:36,560
many articles on city as I do, I guess

1108
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:37,560
that you see a lot of

1109
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,560
cities going through structural issues.

1110
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,560
that is when you really see a

1111
00:42:41,560 --> 00:43:07,560
constriction of activities in a government.

1112
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,560
we are around a million dollars

1113
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,560
right now oh. Over the next two

1114
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:14,560
months we work with the budget

1115
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,560
subcommittee to own those numbers

1116
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,560
and get that

1117
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,560
back within that 1% we

1118
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,560
shoot for and really look

1119
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:26,560
forward to hearing this

1120
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,560
through. Again, there is some silver

1121
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:29,560
linings in here. You have

1122
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,560
all these numbers and scenarios in

1123
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,560
front of you

1124
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,560
but we have

1125
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,560
to be vigilant. I

1126
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:41,560
#y50e8d it back.

1127
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,560
» thank you.

1128
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,560
I know it will be a lot more

1129
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,560
discussions we will have. At least

1130
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:49,560
one more workshop and then as well

1131
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:50,560
finance

1132
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,560
subcommittee will be meeting as well

1133
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,560
taking a deeper dive into what

1134
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:55,560
is being me sented by staff. Definitely

1135
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,560
want to open

1136
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:58,560
up this opportunity as we are getting

1137
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:59,560
this

1138
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,560
initial presentation. There is a new

1139
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,560
thank council members want to

1140
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:04,560
flag. Is there anything they want

1141
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,560

enter into this budget process? All

1145
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,560
right. Seeing none

00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,560
are aligned

1214
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,560
to priorities of cities across

1215
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,560

tours accompanied by her staff and

00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,560
district office. Last week we

1225
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,560
did a full tour for the city of concord. These visits were

1226
00:46:58,560 --> 00:46:59,560
intended to learn more about the

1227
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,560
city's legislative needs and discuss

1228
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,560
ways her office can

1229
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:04,560
support and advocate for your local

1230
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,560
priorities. If your city

1231
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:07,560
would like to schedule a tour or connect with

1232
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,560
our office please don't

1233
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,560

with the

1242
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:32,560

» 

1246
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,560
good evening mayor,

1247
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,560
vice

1248
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:46,560
mayor, council members. I am dish

1249
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,560
come here as a member of

1250
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:49,560
the community. I am a teacher at pittsburg

1251
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,560
high school

1252
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,560
and I'm also the head cross country

1253
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:55,560
coach. It is kind of relevant we had

1254
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,560
the fire

1255
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,560
thing but two years ago our home

1256
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:01,560
course was burned down. In the year

1257
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,560
since a major

1258
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:04,560
way we fund raise is hosting invitationals. So

1259
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,560
that is

1260
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,560
where

1261
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,560
invite other schools. It funds most

1262
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:14,560
of the program outside of parent and

1263
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:15,560
community donations. One

1264
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:16,560
thing that has affected our program

1265
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,560
has been no course for

1266
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,560
us to host the invitational. I'm asking

1267
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,560
that with the stuff that is being

1268
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:26,560
built near the old golf course maybe

1269
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:27,560
we

1270
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:28,560
could provide or help the city with

1271
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,560
cause not only

1272
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:31,560
as coach this would help my program

1273
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,560
but you will hear from some

1274
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:34,560
of the athletes and families there

1275
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:35,560
is some safety

1276
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,560
stuff going nonpittsburg. It is tough

1277
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,560
for our team to

1278
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:40,560
run at night because of traffic. There

1279
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,560
is

1280
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,560
not really much

1281
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,560
of the infrastructure notous trainer

1282
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,560
so you

1283
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,560
will hear more from

1284
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:52,560
them. As a coach a course would help

1285
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,560
us raise

1286
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,560
funds

1287
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:07,560
and build our program. Thank you chlt

1288
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:08,560
.

1289
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,560
» christopher. >>

1290
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,560
good evening. I

1291
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:14,560
am going to say good evening to the

1292
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,560
council

1293
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,560
men and women, everybody here. I'm

1294
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,560
a parent with the cross country program. My

1295
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,560
daughter has been

1296
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:23,560
there for three years now. It is a

1297
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:24,560
good

1298
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,560
experience. I know everybody is hell

1299
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,560
bent

1300
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,560
on football

1301
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,560
in pittsburg and basketball but

1302
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,560
cross country is a big thing. It has

1303
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,560
brought her out of her shell. With her

1304
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:41,560
being with fellow students and running,

1305
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:42,560
it

1306
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,560
is a good program. Like coach said

1307
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,560
I am there

1308
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:47,560
like other parents here. We don't

1309
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:48,560
have a course. We

1310
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,560
don't need no major course, we just

1311
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,560
need something because we go to brentwood,

1312
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,560
oakley and I know that

1313
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:56,560
is different. I grew up in this community. My

1314
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,560
dad 40

1315
00:49:58,560 --> 00:49:59,560
something years ran for mayor. Like,

1316
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,560
it

1317
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:02,560
is crazy to see that little things

1318
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,560
have gotten better

1319
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:05,560
but it could be so much better. What

1320
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:06,560
he was saying about

1321
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,560
the safety thing, that is my biggest concern. I'm

1322
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,560
sure

1323
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:12,560
a lot

1324
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,560
of us live in pittsburg. This running

1325
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,560
red light stuff, they have to

1326
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:17,560
stop at the lights. People just running lights. I

1327
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,560
know that is

1328
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,560
on them but if we could

1329
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,560
have a course directly for

1330
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:26,560
them to practice and for community to

1331
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:27,560
use

1332
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,560
that would be a good thing. Obviously

1333
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,560
y'all will come out and support us

1334
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,560
and see what we are

1335
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:36,560
talking about. I'm just

1336
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:37,560
here to push that idea. Thank you.

1344
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,560
I talk about their topic. Aside from

1345
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:14,560
the kids pittsburg is

1346
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:20,560

1348
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,560
there is not a

1349
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,560
lot of facilities here. I come

1350
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:33,560
from a family

1351
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,560
of weight issues, alcoholism. Cross

1352
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,560
country at pitt high did a

1353
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:39,560
lot for me. I know that

1354
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,560
if you take these family member's

1355
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,560
opinions into mind you

1356
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,560
can do

1357
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:48,560
a lot for their kids. Thank you.

1359
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,560
hello esteemed council. I

1360
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,560
am a member of the pitt

1361
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:08,560
high cross country team. I just want

1362
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:11,560
to come

1363
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,560
here and say we

1364
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,560
are looking for some help in regards

1365
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,560
to something for us to do in regardings to

1366
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,560
running. I think I can speak for a

1367
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,560
lot of my youth, my

1368
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,560
peers when I say that

1369
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,560
outside of many sports or

1370
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:33,560
including many sports running is very

1371
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,560
important

1372
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,560
for us as young people

1373
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:39,560
and seeing

1374
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,560
that joining cross country and trying

1375
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,560
to get

1376
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,560
more active

1377
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,560
and being met

1378
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,560
with the terrible or less than

1379
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,560
I guess perfect infrastructure

1380
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,560
that we have in regards to people

1381
00:52:58,560 --> 00:52:59,560
running red lights or the crosswalks

1382
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,560
being

1383
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:02,560
less than favorable, we would be greatly

1384
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,560
appreciative if we

1385
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:05,560
could get something to look forward

1386
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,560
to

1387
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,560
regards to better or more workable roads.

1388
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:11,560
being a kid and being able to run

1389
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,560
around

1390
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:15,560
is something that is very important. It gets

1391
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,560
us out

1392
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:18,560
of our shells and to play around with

1393
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,560
our peers

1394
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,560
and go outside. It getstous be a

1395
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,560
more active community. I

1396
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:27,560
think this would really help. Thank you.

1407
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,560

1408
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,560

00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:03,560
having some

1411
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,560
issues with running and then like

1412
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,560
with what coach said

1413
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,560
with a new coach --when

1414
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:11,560
home course originally burned down

1415
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,560
we haven't

1416
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:14,560
gotten a home course to ourselves. We

1417
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,560
tried doing

1418
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:18,560
it but that

1419
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:23,560
hasn't gone so well. No offense, coat.

1420
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,560
all I'm saying

1421
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:26,560
is it would be really appreciate if

1422
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,560
you guys could

1423
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:29,560
let us having our own home course

1424
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,560
and

1425
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,560
so that way we can like learn and

1426
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,560
just like have fun. And

1427
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,560
that is it. And I'm hoping this

1428
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,560
year --next season we can do

1429
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,560
what we got to do to

1430
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:47,560
keep doing. That is what we do. We

1431
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,560
got

1432
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:50,560
everything done and that is it. So

1433
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,560

1434
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,560

1480
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,560
everyone.

1481
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,560
I own a one barbershop. I'm also homeowner

1482
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,560
here in pittsburg. I'm here because our plaza

1483
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,560
has gotten a lot better due

1484
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:46,560
to the pressure of fixing up

1485
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,560
the plaza. It is also overwhelming

1486
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:49,560
with everything going

1487
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,560
on. I'm glad that someone spoke about

1488
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,560
the drug usage that is

1489
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:54,560
happening. I sent an e-mail like three

1490
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,560
weeks

1491
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:57,560
ago to this commission with no response. I

1492
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,560
am asking you please spend some

1493
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:00,560
time with your merchants, with your

1494
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,560
business

1495
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:04,560
owners so you can see firsthand what

1496
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,560
we see. I have done some research

1497
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,560
and I've been to a couple

1498
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:09,560
of meetings in pittsburg that as of

1499
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,560
most recent data

1500
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,560
our police department

1501
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,560
has

1502
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:19,560
only 81 sworn staff. 81. That

1503
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:20,560
is approximately eight officers per

1504
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:24,560
1,000 residents. Our police department

1505
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:25,560
shouldn't be who we call when

1506
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,560
we have someone having a mental health

1507
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:28,560
break down or on

1508
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:29,560
drugs. Our businesses are being pushed

1509
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:30,560
away because of the pressure we are

1510
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,560
seeing and

1511
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,560
having to result to call the police

1512
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,560
department. I'm asking you not only

1513
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,560
as homeowner but as a business owner

1514
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:39,560
that you please come spend some time.come

1515
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,560
out of here and come spend some

1516
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,560
time with the business owners at

1517
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:45,560
different times so you can see firsthand

1518
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:46,560
what we

1519
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,560
are experiencing as business owners. I

1520
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,560
was ready to open up my

1521
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:52,560
second business but I was scared because

1522
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,560
it wasn't that much support. There

1523
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:55,560
is about six of us

1524
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,560
getting together. We will rally more

1525
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,560
business owners here in pittsburg

1526
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,560
to ask that you please

1527
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:03,560
figure out a plan. We need maybe on

1528
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,560
demand services for

1529
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:07,560
people who are

1530
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,560
suffering from this illness. More education. I'm

1531
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:10,560
happy to hear

1532
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,560
there will be some education around

1533
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:15,560
fentanyl and maybe that could

1534
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:16,560
be offered to the

1535
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,560
businesses here in pittsburg. Our

1536
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,560
police department is under served. They

1537
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:21,560
need more support in order to protect our

1538
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:22,560
community but

1539
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,560
we need on demand services. I'm asking

1540
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:26,560
you the please come so now

1541
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:27,560
I'm here physically giving you the

1542
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,560
invitation to come

1543
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:30,560
spend the day where my son works at

1544
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,560
everyday

1545
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:34,560
and his safety is my concern. As a

1546
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:35,560
barber

1547
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:36,560
trying to help people feel good because

1548
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,560
when people

1549
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,560
feel good

1550
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:43,560
they do good. My invitation stands. Thank you.

1553
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,560
» 

1554
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,560
good

1555
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:57,560
afternoon everybody. I'm here on behalf

1556
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,560
of

1557
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,560
cross country. I wanted to give

1558
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,560
a couple of

1559
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:07,560
personal antidotes about my safety

1560
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:08,560
concerns. There

1561
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:09,560
was a couple of times I've been running

1562
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:10,560
and cars

1563
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,560
don't really see me. There was a time down

1564
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,560
the street over

1565
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,560
here where the lights were flashing

1566
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,560
and a truck just like went by

1567
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,560
without slowing down. There was one

1568
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:25,560
time on a bridge near

1569
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,560
pittsburg high school where I had

1570
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,560
my foot slipped and

1571
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:31,560
I fell into the road,

1572
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,560
into the street where thankfully there

1573
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,560
wasn't any cars passing but

1574
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,560
I was able to get up

1575
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,560
and go to

1576
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,560
back

1577
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:45,560
to school. I think that is it. I think

1578
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,560
it would help

1579
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,560
if we had a trail

1580
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:55,560
built for our safety so

1581
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:56,560
that everybody could be safe. Thank you.

1582
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:03,560
» 

1583
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:04,560
no more speakers, mayor.

1584
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:05,560
» 

1585
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:06,560
all right. Thank you. Thank you everybody

1587
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,560
your public comments. It is definitely

1588
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:10,560
noted. I know we can't deliberate

1589
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:11,560
or

1590
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:12,560

1591
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,560

advocacy here tonight. At this time

1594
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,560
we will move

1595
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:22,560
on to our committee

1596
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,560
reports. Do any council members have

1597
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:30,560
any

1598
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,560
reports for any

1599
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:33,560
of their subcommittees?

1600
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:34,560

» thank you

1603
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:42,560

life enrichment subcommittee

1606
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,560
met. During the subcommittee meeting

1607
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,560
we reviewed cdbg block grants and

1608
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:54,560
organizations that have submitted to

1609
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,560
be

1610
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:58,560
allocated

1611
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,560
funds to support their programs. So

1612
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,560
we made some selections and they

1613
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:09,560
will be coming to the

1614
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:10,560
council at a future date.

1615
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,560
» I will

1616
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,560
just report out on march 24th the

1617
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:16,560
two by two sub committee

1618
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:17,560
met which is subcommittee comprised

1619
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:18,560
of representatives from the city of

1620
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,560
pittsburg as

1621
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,560
well as the pittsburg unified school

1622
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:24,560
district. Items that were discussed

1623
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:25,560
was

1624
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,560
our joint facility use agreement. We

1625
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,560
also heard about a

1626
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:30,560
proposal for pittsburg plays which

1627
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,560
is

1628
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,560
an opportunity to secure

1629
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,560
funding from the health advisory

1630
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,560
committee to support access to local

1631
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,560
facilities for youth sports programs. We

1632
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,560
also got an update on the

1633
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:48,560
sister city delegation that is being

1634
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,560
planned

1635
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,560
for later this year. The school

1636
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:55,560
district presented on sb937 which

1637
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,560
is

1638
01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:58,560
essentially a state bill that will

1639
01:01:58,560 --> 01:01:59,560
impact

1640
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:00,560
how they collect developer's fees. They

1641
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,560
just wanted to provide us an

1642
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:05,560
update about how that will

1643
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:06,560
impact the district. We also received

1644
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,560
some project updates

1645
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:11,560
in terms of projects that are

1646
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:12,560
happening throughout the city as well

1647
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,560
as an

1648
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:16,560
update regarding school resource officers

1649
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:17,560
and campus safety

1650
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:18,560
and also just heard from the district about

1651
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,560
some of the

1652
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:21,560
instances that have been happening on

1653
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,560
campus and how

1654
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:24,560
there has been great coordination

1655
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,560
with the police department

1656
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:28,560
and as well as communication with the

1657
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,560
community which

1658
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,560
was a good it foam discussion

1659
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,560
and just overall how the district

1660
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,560
communicates with the community and parents

1661
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,560
and so we also

1662
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,560
got an update on

1663
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:44,560
pedestrian

1664
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,560
safety and traffic and so that was

1665
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:47,560
all

1666
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:49,560
for this two by two subcommittee. We

1667
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:51,560
also

1668
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,560
had a meeting for the pittsburg arts

1669
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,560
and community foundation subcommittee

1670
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,560
on march 26th

1671
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,560
which is myself

1672
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:02,560
and council member lopez. Items

1673
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,560
of discussion really were around pacf. It

1674
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:05,560
is

1675
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,560
budget as well as future activities. We

1676
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,560
also had

1677
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:11,560
a discussion about the railroad

1678
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,560
book depot as well as assets. Discussion

1679
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,560
about the

1680
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:17,560
future of the railroad book depot. This

1681
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,560
has been an ongoing conversation for

1682
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:20,560
at least a couple

1683
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,560
of years now. The subcommittee was

1684
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,560
really looking forward

1685
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,560
to being able to bring some type

1686
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:29,560
of resolution to the item and a

1687
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,560
future recommendation for the council. I

1688
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:32,560
know staff is

1689
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,560
working through the item. We look

1690
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:36,560
forward at a future

1691
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:37,560
date to bring at least a recommendation

1692
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,560
to the council as

1693
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:41,560
it relates to the pittsburg

1694
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,560
arts and community foundation. So

1695
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,560
with that

1696
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:46,560
that will conclude my subcommittee

1697
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,560
reports. If there are

1698
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,560
no other reports at this time we

1699
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,560
will

1700
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:56,560
move on to the next

1701
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:57,560
item.

1702
01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:58,560
» thank you very much. Tonight's

1703
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,560
first consideration item is

1704
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,560

fruits of a collaborative effort.

1723
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,560
I wanted to go over each of these

1724
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,560

1743
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,560
issues at the root the council

1744
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:31,560
strives to develop strategies that strengthen

1745
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,560

1777
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:38,560
roads and shorter drives in town. While

1787
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:52,560
revenues like the city's half cent

1788

1795
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:07,560

01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:14,560
where it is coming to even as vice

1894
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:16,560
major shared

1895
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:17,560
really all of our finger prints. That

1896
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,560
was

1897
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:20,560
something that when we first were looking

1898
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,560
down

1899
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:24,560
a number of goals we had it

1900
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,560
was something the council took ownership of

1901
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:27,560
in terms of something we were

1902
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,560
communicating to the community as

1903
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:30,560
large but

1904
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,560
also having that shared vision and

1905
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:33,560
priorities as we are looking at

1906
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,560
strategic planning in terms of our

1907
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,560
investments as well and

1908
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:38,560
how it ties in with the budget. Great

1909
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:39,560
job. Thank you to

1910
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,560
all of the city staff that helped

1911
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,560
us get to this document. I know

1912
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:44,560
there is a lot of work ahead. Even

1913
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,560
for the

1914
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:47,560
community even as we heard some of

1915
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,560
the concerns tonight we know

1916
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:51,560
that we have to be flexible as a city. Just

1917
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,560
because we don't see something called

1918
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,560
out in the document

1919
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:56,560
we know we want to be responsive which

1920
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:57,560
is apart

1921
01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:58,560
of our effective service delivery. I

1922
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,560
think just even going back to what we

1923
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:02,560
hear a little bit in the public comment

1924
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,560
tonight about some of what

1925
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:05,560
is going on in our shopping corridors

1926
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,560
with the businesses. We touched

1927
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,560
on that when it came to effective

1928
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:11,560
service delivery with trying to understand

1929
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:13,560
the experience that

1930
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:14,560
people are having within the community

1931
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,560
and so looking forward to

1932
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,560
how even as we have the embedded goals

1933
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:20,560
how we don't flush that out in term of

1934
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,560
that experience that

1935
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:23,560
people are having here in the community. With

1936
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,560
that I want to

1937
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:27,560
say thank you to my colleagues. Thank

1938
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:28,560

01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:29,560

1966
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,560
consideration item is

1967
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:32,560
an ordinance amending section 1.28.015

1968
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:35,560
of

1969
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:36,560
the pittsburg code

1970
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,560
and by minute order accepting standards. As

1971
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:41,560
you will see in the upcoming slides

1972
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,560
this is a process is

1973
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,560
that started

1974
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,560
in

1975
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:50,560
2022. It has involved plenty of the

1976
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,560
meetings. A

1977
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:56,560
whole lot of participation so

1978
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:58,560
tonight

1979
01:12:58,560 --> 01:12:59,560
we have jordan davis. We have denae

1980
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,560
romero

1981
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:02,560
and we have our excellent consultant

1982
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,560
who

1983
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:07,560
has helped us through

1984
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:08,560
this whole process with a presentation.

1985
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:09,560
» 

1986
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:10,560
thank

1987
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:11,560
you very much. As the city manager

1988
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:13,560
mentioned this is

1989
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:14,560
a process that has taken several years

1990
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:15,560
to come

1991
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:17,560
to fruition. I also want to note this

1992
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,560
is one of the first

1993
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:21,560
items that was included in our

1994
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:23,560
economic development strategic plan

1995
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,560
when that

1996
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:26,560
was adopted in early 2022. So we are

1997
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,560
excited to bring this

1998
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:29,560
before you tonight. We are going to tag

1999
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:30,560
team this presentation. I will

2000
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,560
talk a little bit about background,

2001
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,560
hand it over to sam preston with

2002
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:37,560
north star to talk about the process

2003
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:38,560
in developing what is before you tonight

2004
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:40,560
and

2005
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:41,560
then pass it over to denae to talk

2006
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,560
about

2007
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:44,560
what the next steps are in implementation. This is

2008
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:46,560
only the first step in what

2009
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:47,560
is going to be a multi-year process

2010
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,560
to help market the

2011
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:51,560
city and

2012
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:52,560
bring new businesses to pittsburg.

2013
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:53,560
» 

2014
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,560
so starting with a little bit of background

2015
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,560
this was something that

2016
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:00,560
began in 2022. We did issue an rfp

2017
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:02,560
and contracted with

2018
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:03,560
north star. They did a lot of background

2019
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:05,560
research

2020
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,560
that sam will

2021
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,560
dye a little

2022
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,560
more into. I want to talk

2023
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,560
about the reaction we got as

2024
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,560
we under took

2025
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:20,560
this effort. Really trying to bring

2026
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,560
new businesses to

2027
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:26,560
the city on pittsburg and focus the

2028
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:27,560
image of the city to be attractive

2029
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:28,560
to

2030
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:29,560
some of these businesses, especially the

2031
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:31,560
business we were hoping to

2032
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:32,560
attract in that strategic plan which are

2033
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,560
businesses that bring

2034
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:36,560
jobs to the community but are modern

2035
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:38,560
forward thinking,

2036
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:40,560
looking at the changing face

2037
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:41,560
of industry going forward and we wanted

2038
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:46,560
to meet them and put our

2039
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:52,560
best foot forward and be attractive.

2040
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:53,560
one of the challenges we have that

2041
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,560
we don't have

2042
01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:59,560
a lot of standardization in our logo. So here

2043
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,560
we have take an

2044
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:02,560
few screen shots doing a quickal. On

2045
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,560
the left suicide you will

2046
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:06,560
see what is in our municipal code

2047
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:07,560
we

2048
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:08,560
are proposing to change tonight. These

2049
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,560
two logos in

2050
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,560
fact don't even really

2051
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,560
match. You

2052
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:17,560
see different line weights, different

2053
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,560
perspectives and

2054
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,560
then the logos we use on our

2055
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,560
letter heads and our websites and

2056
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:27,560
even our flag don't always match. And

2057
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:29,560
this can

2058
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,560
be really difficult when a

2059
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:34,560
business is going through

2060
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:36,560
the entitlement process and are file

2061
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:37,560
an application and

2062
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:39,560
see one logo. Then they get a planning

2063
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:40,560
letter and see a

2064
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:41,560
different letter. Then they get their

2065
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:42,560
building permit and there is a different

2066
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:44,560
logo. There we

2067
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:48,560
want to make sure we can standardize

2068
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:53,560
this so that way we have a

2069
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:54,560
cohesive image to any business coming

2070
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,560
forward. One

2071
01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:58,560
of the big goals was

2072
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,560
economic development. When we talked

2073
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:06,560
to the

2074
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,560
submit committee we recognized this

2075
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,560
is a

2076
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:13,560
city wide effort. It is

2077
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:15,560
the whole city working together to

2078
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:16,560
try to bring businesses

2079
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,560
here. We really wanted to do something

2080
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,560
with the idea that we

2081
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:21,560
were going to drive economic development

2082
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:23,560
but

2083
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:27,560
use something that was going to be

2084
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:28,560
utilized by the entire city. We wanted

2085
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,560
to find our place in contra costa

2086
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,560
county and what makes

2087
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:36,560
us special. I will leave it to sam

2088
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:37,560
to talk more about

2089
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,560
that. And the professionalism in our

2090
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:40,560
municipal services. I said on february

2091
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:41,560
8@city

2092
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:42,560
of pittsburg is not a business but

2093
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:43,560
we are dealing with a lot

2094
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,560
of businesses. We will continue to

2095
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:47,560
deal with businesses

2096
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:48,560
and we want to match businesses in

2097
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,560
the

2098
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:51,560
image and what we are conveying to

2099
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,560
them in order

2100
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:54,560
to bring them here. We want them to

2101
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,560
see us as professional and caring

2102
01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,560
about what we

2103
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:03,560
look like and what we present. So

2104
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:04,560
with that I will hand it

2105
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,560
over to sam. He will talk more about

2106
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,560
how

2107
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:11,560
we

2108
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:12,560
uncovered the brand for pittsburg. Sam.

2109
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,560
» 

2110
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:18,560
all right. How did

2111
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:20,560
we uncover the brand here

2112
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,560
in pittsburg? This has been a very good

2113
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,560
project for us because we rarely come

2114
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:27,560
into a community where there

2115
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:28,560
is already such a strong

2116
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,560
recognizable and adopted brand throughout

2117
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,560
the community. We

2118
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:36,560
are very impressed. When we came here

2119
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,560
in november of 2023 for

2120
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:39,560
our visit just to hear the passion

2121
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:42,560
and the pride the

2122
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:44,560
people had for living

2123
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:45,560
here in pittsburg. Going back several

2124
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:47,560
generations. This --it

2125
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:48,560
runs deal. So it is very good, very

2126
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:49,560
refreshing for us to

2127
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:51,560
hear that. We didn't want to come

2128
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:52,560
in and change

2129
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:54,560
anything about pittsburg. We really

2130
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:57,560
wanted to hear what it is that makes

2131
01:17:57,560 --> 01:17:59,560
it as great as it is. So we

2132
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:00,560
started we are search and then we

2133
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:02,560
went into strategy and

2134
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:03,560
then into creativity and then finally

2135
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,560
into action. The

2136
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:08,560
way this kind of looks is

2137
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:09,560
here on this image. The top half of

2138
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,560
that image is

2139
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:13,560
doing a lot of stake holder and

2140
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:15,560
community education, a lot of focus

2141
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:17,560
groups and

2142
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:19,560
one on one interviews and that gathering and research

2143
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:21,560
phase. Then we take all of the information

2144
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,560
we have and boil it

2145
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,560
down into a

2146
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:27,560
dna statement that says this is who

2147
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:29,560
and what pittsburg

2148
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:30,560
is. Then that is when we started working

2149
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,560
on

2150
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:33,560
some of the creative elements. We

2151
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:35,560
didn't want to

2152
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:36,560
completely overhaul the logo because

2153
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:39,560
there

2154
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:41,560
is such a brand equity in that. I mean

2155
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:42,560
people were showing up to the focus

2156
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,560
groups and interviews

2157
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:48,560
and they had the tattoo anchored on them. So

2158
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:50,560
it just really is cool

2159
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:51,560
to see it runs deep. Then last thing

2160
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:53,560
we have

2161
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:54,560
here is some brand action ideas. So

2162
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:57,560
when we delivered the final report

2163
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:58,560
it had a whole lot of ways of how

2164
01:18:58,560 --> 01:18:59,560
to

2165
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:00,560
actually enact the brand, how to implement

2166
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,560
it into the community

2167
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,560
but also there is a strategic marketing

2168
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,560
plan that we are working with so

2169
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:10,560
as this is adopted we can start promoting pittsburg and

2170
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,560
letting people know all the great

2171
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,560
things that are here and

2172
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:16,560
making it an

2173
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:18,560
easy choice for people to come here.

2174
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,560
so just to recap

2175
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:23,560
the research, we did a lot. It

2176
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:24,560
was the better part of three, almost

2177
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,560
four months of research

2178
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,560
both inside and outside of the community. I

2179
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:31,560
mentioned we were here in november

2180
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,560
23 doing

2181
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,560
focus groups, one on

2182
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:42,560
one interviews. We received several

2183
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:44,560
hundred responses on

2184
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:48,560
surveys. We also surveyed people outside pittsburg.

2185
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:51,560
then we also talked with some

2186
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,560
of your peers

2187
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,560
and neighboring cities, county wide,

2188
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:57,560
elected officials, economic development

2189
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,560
groups, chamber of

2190
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:01,560
commerce just to figure out from individuals what

2191
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:02,560
are you

2192
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:03,560
doing well where we are not doing

2193
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:06,560
well, what

2194
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,560
do we need to improve on. I want to

2195
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:10,560
recap a couple of bits of research

2196
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:12,560
though.

2197
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:14,560
from our time when we were here

2198
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:15,560
doing focus groups and interviews

2199
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,560
we ask people some

2200
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,560
of

2201
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:24,560
the best of pittsburg.

2202
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,560
some of

2203
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,560
the things that came up, togetherness. There's

2204
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,560
a great culture

2205
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:34,560
here. We are

2206
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:36,560
very prideful. We are headed towards

2207
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:38,560
progress. We have a lot of

2208
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:39,560
heart. It is rough but we are dedicated

2209
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:42,560
to making this the

2210
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:43,560
best place possible. Some of the greatest

2211
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,560
assets

2212
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:46,560
that exist here in the community,

2213
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:47,560
a lot

2214
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:48,560
of housing variety. Bart runs right

2215
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:49,560
through here. The

2216
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:51,560
marina we heard that mentioned time and

2217
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:53,560
time again just how

2218
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:54,560
much that adds to the community. The high

2219
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:57,560
school being a

2220
01:20:57,560 --> 01:20:59,560
one high school town really says

2221
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:00,560
a lot. Seafood festival, the events

2222
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:02,560
that you put on are

2223
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:03,560
fantastic and of course the senior

2224
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:05,560
center

2225
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:06,560
what is being done there. In the community

2226
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:09,560
survey

2227
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:11,560
we asked what are the

2228
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:12,560
best december crypters for pittsburg. The

2229
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,560
top things were our diversity, our

2230
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:16,560
hometown pride and it is relative

2231
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,560
affordability. We understand prices

2232
01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:21,560
all across the u.s.

2233
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:23,560
are going up. It is still

2234
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:24,560
more affordable than other areas. And

2235
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,560
what is --

2236
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,560
what are some of the pittsburg's

2237
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:30,560
greatest assets? We are well connected. Our location,

2238
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:33,560
the old town pittsburg

2239
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,560
and then also our high school sports,

2240
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:36,560
our arts and music programs. People

2241
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:39,560
really resonate with

2242
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,560
all of those. What do people not know

2243
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:42,560
about this city they should? Old town pittsburg. You

2244
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:44,560
guys

2245
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:45,560
have been making a lot of great efforts to

2246
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,560
improve

2247
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:49,560
that area and make that a

2248
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:51,560
destination. The marina and our local

2249
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:54,560
restaurants. I will say when we

2250
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:55,560
were here in november we ate really

2251
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,560
good

2252
01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:02,560
everywhere we went here in pittsburg. You

2253
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:04,560
guys got a great local scene. We also

2254
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:05,560
asked what is missing. What

2255
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,560
do you wish is here? What do you have

2256
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:08,560
to leave the

2257
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:10,560
city for? Some additional shopping

2258
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:11,560
and dining. I wish there were

2259
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:13,560
more things for kids and teens to

2260
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:14,560
do and also

2261
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:16,560
some high paying jobs. And if we were

2262
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,560
to run survey again

2263
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:21,560
today we might see we are missing

2264
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:25,560
a high school cross country track. We will

2265
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,560
make that note here,

2266
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:28,560
too. We also in our survey for outsiders

2267
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:30,560
we wanted to

2268
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:32,560
ask some very similar questions just

2269
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,560
to understand what are outsiders thinking

2270
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:36,560
about us. We asked

2271
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:37,560
how would you best describe pittsburg? Those

2272
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:39,560
that don't life

2273
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:41,560
here say it is a pass through. I travel there

2274
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:43,560
or travel through it to get somewhere

2275
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:44,560
else. There is not

2276
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:46,560
much to do. It is changing and growing

2277
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,560
but it

2278
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:50,560
is also well connected. Again

2279
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,560
with the transportation. What is the

2280
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:53,560
primary purpose or

2281
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:55,560
main reason you visited the city? Family

2282
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:56,560
members and

2283
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:58,560
friends pass through to get elsewhere

2284
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,560
and then

2285
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,560
I ate at a restaurant. While our residents

2286
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:06,560
feel

2287
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:10,560
we need more shopping and diningings

2288
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,560
, the

2289
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,560
number one

2290
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,560
reason

2291
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,560
is for our dining. So

2292
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:24,560
we took all of thatand then boiled

2293
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:25,560
it down that dna statement that said

2294
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:27,560
this is who

2295
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,560
and what we are and then worked with

2296
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:31,560
the committee to really put together

2297
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,560
this

2298
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:36,560
new brand and

2299
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:37,560
just want to share how that did come

2300
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:38,560
together. We have

2301
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:40,560
three different looks that show how

2302
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,560
that

2303
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,560
does come together with the modified

2304
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:48,560
logo, with really strong

2305
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:49,560
photography and some of the language

2306
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,560
leaning on

2307
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:52,560
that anchored phrase. We are anchored in

2308
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,560
your

2309
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:55,560
fufrngs anchored in innovation and anchored

2310
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:58,560
in fun. And

2311
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:00,560
then just want to share

2312
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:01,560
quickly the logo. We have got this

2313
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,560
modified or

2314
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:05,560
the new font we have here makes --

2315
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:10,560
we brought back this classic kind

2316
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,560
of timeless

2317
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:13,560
font. We gave it more weight. Then

2318
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:14,560
simplified some of

2319
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:16,560
the line weights, the things that

2320
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,560
jordan was mentioning

2321
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,560
so we have that here

2322
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,560
and this new logo. Then also the -- one

2323
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,560
of the biggest purposes of this project

2324
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:28,560
was to get that unified brand standards

2325
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,560
guide, to have a

2326
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:33,560
real set of rules of what to do or

2327
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:34,560
what not to do. We put together a

2328
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:35,560
brand standards

2329
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:37,560
guide. Part of that is a color palette. You

2330
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:39,560
have got

2331
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:40,560
a lot of great options but we pembroke that

2332
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,560
up with some primary

2333
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:44,560
colors and then also some secondary

2334
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:45,560
colors. That is

2335
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:46,560
not to say that these are the only

2336
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,560
ones that

2337
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:49,560
can be used but this is really what

2338
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,560
you should

2339
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,560
be leaning on. Then you can

2340
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:57,560
find that in more expanded brand

2341
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:03,560
standards guide along with fonts,

2342
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:04,560
incorrect usages november. -- you

2343
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:06,560
can share them

2344
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:16,560
with them so they can all play within the rule book.

2345
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:17,560
.

2346
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:18,560
» good evening. I am an analyst here at

2347
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:19,560
the

2348
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:20,560
city. I just want to thank you, sam, and

2349
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,560
the north star team

2350
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,560
for your efforts on the

2351
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:25,560
city's marketing and branding initiatives. I

2352
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:28,560
will

2353
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:30,560
now share some brand

2354
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:31,560
executions with the creative logo. Firstly we

2355
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,560
have stationary using

2356
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:37,560
some of the primary colors and

2357
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:40,560
the color

2358
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:43,560
palette. We have pens, letter

2359
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:44,560
heads, post-its, business cards, envelopes. We

2360
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:45,560
have

2361
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,560
some digital advertisements that can

2362
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:52,560
be used

2363
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:55,560
on billboards, media and general.

2364
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:58,560
we have

2365
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:00,560
promotional items

2366
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:01,560
including water bottles and stickers. And

2367
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:04,560
we have our public works vehicle

2368
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:07,560
if you didn't see it on your

2369
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,560
way in demonstrating how we can

2370
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,560
use our

2371
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:16,560
branding with our public service

2372
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:19,560
vehicles. We have full banners

2373
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:22,560
using the anchored

2374
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,560
in tag line,

2375
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:25,560
some economic development brochures,

2376
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,560
a

2377
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:31,560
billboard using also the anchored

2378
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,560
in fun tag line advertising dining,

2379
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:37,560
shopping

2380
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:40,560
entertainment here in

2381
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:42,560
the city. Some gate

2382
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:43,560
way signage. So what is next? The

2383
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:46,560
city is

2384
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,560
going to work on or the

2385
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:50,560
marketing and strategy working with

2386
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:52,560
the departments and collateral materials

2387
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:55,560
that will in the

2388
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:58,560
order in which those changes

2389
01:26:58,560 --> 01:26:59,560
-- some include printed material, online

2390
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,560
systems, the city website, social

2391
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,560
media, vehicles to name a

2392
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:07,560
few and how we

2393
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:09,560
will promote those moving forward. Education and

2394
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:10,560
training guide others on how to effectively

2395
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,560
implement

2396
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:16,560
the new branding and

2397
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:17,560
start collaborating with those who

2398
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:19,560
utilize

2399
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:21,560
the logo. We will create a

2400
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:22,560
quick reference guide for all

2401
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,560
staff on

2402
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:28,560
how to use the

2403
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:29,560
new logo. And finally integrate the

2404
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:31,560
new

2405
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:32,560
logo. With that staff recommends the

2406
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:34,560
city council introduce and waive

2407
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,560
the further reading

2408
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,560
of an ordinance amending section

2409
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:41,560
1.28.015, city logo, of the pittsburg

2410
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:43,560
municipal

2411
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:44,560
code, and accept

2412
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:45,560
the attached brand standards. Thank you.

2413
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:46,560
» 

2414
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:49,560
with that we would

2415
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:50,560
be happy to answer any questions you have.

2416
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:52,560
» 

2417
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:54,560
thank you for that

2418
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:55,560
presentation. I will turn my colleagues for

2419
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:58,560
questions and we

2420
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:00,560
have council member kobata in

2421
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:01,560
the cue.

2422
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:02,560
» yes. Hi. Thank you for

2423
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:04,560
the

2424
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:07,560
presentation and all your hard work. I

2425
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:09,560
was wondering --I have

2426
01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:10,560
gotten a few inquiries from residents

2427
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:13,560
regarding

2428
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,560
this

2429
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:19,560
and some of the concerns were cost implement all

2430
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:22,560
of this, to change all the los

2431
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:25,560
-- logos, to

2432
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:26,560
put them on the cars. That is one

2433
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:28,560
thing that

2434
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:31,560
was of concern

2435
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,560
as well as the colors. They

2436
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:35,560
were saying that maybe reverse colors. Put

2437
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,560
the anchor red

2438
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:39,560
since we have a red anchor in front

2439
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:40,560
and then sun red and then blue. Kind

2440
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:43,560
of reverse

2441
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:44,560
the colors a little bit. That is something

2442
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,560
because

2443
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:52,560
again the red

2444
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:53,560
anchor and the red sun. Also they

2445
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:56,560
were concerned about

2446
01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:58,560
they have had the same logo

2447
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:02,560
all these years and people grew up

2448
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:05,560
with this logo or they have had

2449
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:08,560
it for several years. It seems

2450
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,560
that the old logo

2451
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:12,560
with these colors

2452
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:14,560
were very impactful. I called it like

2453
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,560
a wow factor. It hits

2454
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:20,560
you and it is like whoa, this

2455
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:22,560
is a really

2456
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:23,560
neat logo. This logo here people were

2457
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,560
asking

2458
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:27,560
how does

2459
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:29,560
this provide that wow factor? And

2460
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:31,560
also my question also

2461
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:32,560
was how many surveys that you took

2462
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:34,560
were from pittsburg? Cause

2463
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:36,560
you said it was also from outside

2464
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:38,560
areas. So what is the percentage or if

2465
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:40,560
not if you can

2466
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:41,560
provide a number that would be appreciated.

2467
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:42,560
» 

2468
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:43,560
so I will start to answer

2469
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:47,560
some of though and then hand it over

2470
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:49,560
to sam to talk about the

2471
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:51,560
number of surveys that were done. The

2472
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:53,560
cost is really going to be dependent

2473
01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:54,560
on the type of budget we have. So

2474
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:56,560
much of the branding and marketing

2475
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:58,560
that we have out

2476
01:29:58,560 --> 01:29:59,560
there is digital. There is really

2477
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:01,560
no cost other

2478
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,560
than perhaps staff time need to implement

2479
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:05,560
that. When the city council did approve

2480
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:08,560
this project, they

2481
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:09,560
allocate add certain amount of money,

2482
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:11,560
about $200,000. Not all of which was

2483
01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:14,560
spent on

2484
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:15,560
this part of the process. The remainder

2485
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:17,560
is meant for secondary phases and

2486
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:19,560
I will mention

2487
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:20,560
this is intended to be an ongoing

2488
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:21,560
effort and economic

2489
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:23,560
development does have a marketing

2490
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:25,560
budget as do

2491
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:27,560
some other departments. We will continue

2492
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:29,560
to utilize that to market as best as

2493
01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:32,560
we can. But there is

2494
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:34,560
some money that has been set

2495
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:35,560
aside for change out of different

2496
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:38,560
logos say

2497
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:39,560
on vehicles and that type of thing. There

2498
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:40,560
is

2499
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:41,560
no way with the number of signs and

2500
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:43,560
other infrastructure we

2501
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:44,560
have throughout the city that we can change

2502
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:47,560
every

2503
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:48,560
logo everywhere. That is not our

2504
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:50,560
intent. So there will be some carry

2505
01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:53,560
overs. As far as the actual

2506
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:55,560
design of the logo and

2507
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:56,560
the history, we purposely at the direction

2508
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:58,560
of the

2509
01:30:58,560 --> 01:30:59,560
council and the community economic

2510
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:02,560
development subcommittee

2511
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:05,560
made as minor changes as

2512
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:06,560
possible in order to keep it consistent

2513
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:08,560
and with that

2514
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:10,560
her thank folks have come

2515
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:11,560
to know. I would venture to guess

2516
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:13,560
had

2517
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:14,560
we made these changes and not bread

2518
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:17,560
cast

2519
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:19,560
them they may not have even

2520
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:20,560
been noticed because we do have such

2521
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:23,560
differentiation between the

2522
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:25,560
different types of logos we

2523
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:29,560
have. We had floated an idea where

2524
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:35,560
we actually

2525
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:38,560
broke that circle. We wanted

2526
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:39,560
to keep as much of that tradition

2527
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:40,560
as

2528
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:41,560
possible. Even so far as to not break

2529
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:42,560
that

2530
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:44,560
up. The majority of the opportunities

2531
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:46,560
we implement this

2532
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:47,560
logo, it is actually a single color. So

2533
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:49,560
we are showing a

2534
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:50,560
two color design which is not something

2535
01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:52,560
that is widely used. Part of

2536
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:53,560
the reason we are doing this is because we do

2537
01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:55,560
want to add

2538
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:56,560
a little bit of excitement and your recommendations

2539
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:58,560
on color we

2540
01:31:58,560 --> 01:31:59,560
will take a look at those. This is

2541
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,560
intended to

2542
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:03,560
be something that can be a

2543
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:05,560
multitude of colors. It can be green

2544
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:08,560
for civic pride day. It

2545
01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:09,560
can be blue for the marina. It can

2546
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:11,560
be multi-colored. We show add version

2547
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:14,560
of that with the sticker. We

2548
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:17,560
can continue to use it in those different

2549
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,560
forms but again

2550
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:21,560
I go back to wanting toly say follow

2551
01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:23,560
trends and

2552
01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:25,560
I know that can be a

2553
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:26,560
little concerning because trends often die

2554
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:29,560
but over the past couple

2555
01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:30,560
of decades you have seen

2556
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:32,560
a transition into more simple logos

2557
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:33,560
that get the point

2558
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:35,560
across that are easily repeatable

2559
01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:37,560
on shirts

2560
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:38,560
and stickers and other types of things. So

2561
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:41,560
while we can use the

2562
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:43,560
full color and we will when appropriate

2563
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:44,560
we wanted to base the logo in that

2564
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,560
one color and two

2565
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:48,560
color design to make it as repeatable as

2566
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:50,560
possible and we

2567
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,560
think with the two color design and

2568
01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:53,560
by designate a two color design we

2569
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:54,560
will have

2570
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:56,560
more opportunities to sort of meet

2571
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:58,560
in the middle if you will where we

2572
01:32:58,560 --> 01:32:59,560
can't do the full color but the single

2573
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:02,560
color may

2574
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:03,560
be a little bit boring. We can add

2575
01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:04,560
a

2576
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:05,560
little bit of pop by having that second

2577
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:08,560
color there. That is something

2578
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:09,560
that is more doable than a full color logo

2579
01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:11,560
when

2580
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,560
you

2581
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:16,560
look at things as pens,

2582
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:17,560
shirted printed and that type of thing. I

2583
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:20,560
will pass it over

2584
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:21,560
to sam now.

2585
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:23,560
» this has never

2586
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:25,560
happened before. We the

2587
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:26,560
exact same number of community responses,

2588
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:29,560
community survey

2589
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:32,560
responses which is 380 and we

2590
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:35,560
also surveyed exactly 380 people from

2591
01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:36,560
outside of pittsburg. So we targeted

2592
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:37,560
100

2593
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:38,560
people from alameda county, 100 from

2594
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:41,560
sacramento county, 100

2595
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,560
from san francisco county and then

2596
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:45,560
also from san joaquin county.

2597
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:46,560
» thank

2598
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:47,560
you very

2599
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:50,560
much. I promised people I would inquire

2600
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:53,560
about

2601
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,560
these for them. Appreciate

2602
01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:57,560
that. Thank you.

2603
01:33:57,560 --> 01:33:58,560
» sure. >> any

2604
01:33:58,560 --> 01:33:59,560
other questions or thoughts? Vice

2605
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:00,560
mayor adams?

2606
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:01,560
» thank you. Through

2607
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:02,560
the mayor

2608
01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:05,560
wanted to ask you

2609
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:09,560
to talk a little bit

2610
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:11,560
about how you --what are some

2611
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:12,560
standard things you do when you are

2612
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:15,560
doing these types

2613
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:16,560
of projects where

2614
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:18,560
you are working with clients? How

2615
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:20,560
did

2616
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:21,560
you --how do you benchmark to propose

2617
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:23,560
what

2618
01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:24,560
you have created for us?

2619
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:26,560
» I guess

2620
01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:27,560
so how do you measure that success?

2621
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:28,560
» 

2622
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:29,560
not

2623
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:30,560
necessarily how you measure the success

2624
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:32,560
but I

2625
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:36,560
think as this is a different look

2626
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:38,560
and feel for how we shared or

2627
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:39,560
shown our logo and so I think helping

2628
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:41,560
people understand like

2629
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:42,560
where we are --where we are wanting to

2630
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:44,560
go

2631
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,560
as a city, maybe the things you put

2632
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:48,560
into the methodology as you were doing

2633
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:51,560
the research

2634
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:52,560
to provide what we have here

2635
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:54,560
because I think what I hear when I

2636
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:55,560
am in the

2637
01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:57,560
community and then having a background

2638
01:34:57,560 --> 01:34:58,560
in this space so

2639
01:34:58,560 --> 01:34:59,560
there is things happening in the market

2640
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:03,560
lace and sort of trends but then you

2641
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:06,560
want to be true to the identity

2642
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:09,560
of the client

2643
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:10,560
and what they are trying to

2644
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:12,560
keep as you are creating something

2645
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,560
that is more forward

2646
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:16,560
looking. So if you could share a little

2647
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:17,560
bit

2648
01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:18,560
maybe the thought leadership or the

2649
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:21,560
things you thought about to

2650
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:24,560
get us to this place that

2651
01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:27,560
may help folks as they are seeing

2652
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:29,560
this and it is new

2653
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:30,560
and different.

2654
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:31,560
» yes. So the biggest something

2655
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:32,560
really

2656
01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:33,560
engagement and involvement from the

2657
01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:36,560
community all along

2658
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:37,560
so that is why we had residents were

2659
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:39,560
invited to come and participate in

2660
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:41,560
those

2661
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:42,560
focus groups, one on one interviews. Residents

2662
01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:44,560
were

2663
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:45,560
encourage to do the community survey. We

2664
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:47,560
had a

2665
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:48,560
website where people could come in

2666
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:51,560
and check in on progress

2667
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:53,560
and sign

2668
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:54,560
up to be a ambassador. Then now we

2669
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:56,560
are

2670
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:57,560
here at the end we never recommend

2671
01:35:57,560 --> 01:36:00,560
doing

2672
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:02,560
just a brand or a huge

2673
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:03,560
unveiling of the logo as people see

2674
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:05,560
just an image. They don't know

2675
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:06,560
everything they run into and don't

2676
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:08,560
know the full context. They don't

2677
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:09,560
really know as jordan has done a great

2678
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:12,560
job of explaining the whole

2679
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:14,560
purpose of this and what we are trying

2680
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:15,560
to accomplish. Dedication is still

2681
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:18,560
on going now. So we

2682
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:21,560
are rolling out the brand. That

2683
01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:23,560
is why there is no unveiling of this

2684
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:24,560
but rather we are slowly doing this

2685
01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:25,560
also

2686
01:36:25,560 --> 01:36:27,560
in cost effect measures. The messaging

2687
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:28,560
that goes out to the community

2688
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:30,560
really helping them understand what

2689
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:32,560
went it into, what the purpose

2690
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:33,560
is, what we are hoping to accomplish

2691
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:36,560
and do

2692
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:37,560
is really how you

2693
01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:38,560
gain favor from the community.

2694
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:42,560
» 

2695
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:45,560
all

2696
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:47,560
right. Any other

2697
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:48,560
questions on this item? So the only

2698
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,560
commentsly make I appreciate

2699
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:54,560
the work that has

2700
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:57,560
been done on this. I appreciate

2701
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,560
staffs as well as

2702
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:02,560
our consultant. As we started

2703
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:03,560
this process it was just as far as

2704
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:05,560
economic development but

2705
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:06,560
we really took it as an opportunity

2706
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:09,560
as it has been

2707
01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:10,560
shared a number of times through the

2708
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:12,560
presentation

2709
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:13,560
about really just the consistency

2710
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:15,560
and

2711
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:17,560
really a uniformed approach to

2712
01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:18,560
how the city is portrayed. So with that

2713
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:21,560
you know I

2714
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:24,560
think that we really held true

2715
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:27,560
in terms of the logo itself. We

2716
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:29,560
didn't go create a brand

2717
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:30,560
new icon for the city for that very kind

2718
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:33,560
of sense

2719
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:35,560
we are talking about now, right? There is

2720
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:36,560
so much nostalgia, people with the anchor and

2721
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:39,560
so I think

2722
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:41,560
we entered into this process

2723
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:42,560
with that understanding but just knowing

2724
01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:44,560
that there was

2725
01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:45,560
a refresh that was needed as well

2726
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:48,560
as I think it

2727
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:49,560
was really more important as we are

2728
01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:51,560
looking

2729
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:52,560
at even just this process is

2730
01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:54,560
the brand standards that were created. I

2731
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:57,560
think for me as

2732
01:37:57,560 --> 01:37:58,560
we are looking at the adoption of

2733
01:37:58,560 --> 01:37:59,560
this,

2734
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:00,560
these standards and then also how

2735
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:02,560
we are communicating to

2736
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:03,560
the public and making sure that whether

2737
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:05,560
it is

2738
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:06,560
materials being put out digitally

2739
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:07,560
as

2740
01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:09,560
it was shared about, folks doing business

2741
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:11,560
with the city that everything is

2742
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:12,560
consistent and that there is really

2743
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:15,560
that level

2744
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:16,560
of professionalism we are depicting

2745
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:18,560
as a city. I

2746
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:19,560
think that even as we are looking

2747
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:20,560
at the

2748
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:21,560
colors, you know, we have had discussions

2749
01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:24,560
about

2750
01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:27,560
the colors even as

2751
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,560
we had the our goals workshop

2752
01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:31,560
we had back in february as well as

2753
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:33,560
even going through iterations and

2754
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:35,560
looking at even just over

2755
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:36,560
years about how it has morphed. I

2756
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,560
believe you will continue

2757
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:42,560
to see I'm sure

2758
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:45,560
people that will use the multi-colored

2759
01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:48,560
logo. It is one thing I shared with

2760
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,560
staff in

2761
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:52,560
times past. This logo has really --

2762
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:53,560
take

2763
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:54,560
on this life of it's own. We have

2764
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:57,560
businesses,

2765
01:38:57,560 --> 01:38:58,560
people do their own t-shirt companies. People

2766
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:01,560
have

2767
01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:02,560
all type of stuff with this

2768
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:04,560
logo, the iconic nature of it. I don't

2769
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:05,560
think that

2770
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:07,560
will ever be lost. That is why I'm

2771
01:39:07,560 --> 01:39:09,560
sharing as far as and I really

2772
01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:10,560
take to the comments that were shared

2773
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:13,560
I

2774
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:14,560
think that even if we had just

2775
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:16,560
outside of an action being done right

2776
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:18,560
now and

2777
01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:20,560
people just saw this logo out there

2778
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:22,560
online nobody would have thought that

2779
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:23,560
necessarily we changed

2780
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:25,560
it or something different happened. It

2781
01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:26,560
is essentially

2782
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:28,560
the same logo, we are just using some

2783
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:31,560
different things that

2784
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:32,560
will make it stand out and just to

2785
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:34,560
unify it. With that I don't want to

2786
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:37,560
-- I know we took some

2787
01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:39,560
time to get through this process and

2788
01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:40,560
you know our consultants took that

2789
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:42,560
feedback. I'm

2790
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:43,560
sure they would have loved to let their

2791
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:45,560
creative juices

2792
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:46,560
go and come back with a whole new

2793
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:47,560
brand

2794
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:49,560
identity for the city but we through

2795
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:50,560
community feedback and

2796
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:53,560
one more thing that is important to

2797
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:55,560
me as we are really trying to hint

2798
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:57,560
at you

2799
01:39:57,560 --> 01:39:58,560
know what we are trying to accomplish

2800
01:39:58,560 --> 01:39:59,560
with the brand

2801
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:01,560
standards I thought it was important

2802
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:03,560
when we saw what people thought

2803
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:04,560
about outside of the community as

2804
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:05,560
well as even

2805
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:07,560
what people think our strengths and

2806
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:08,560
assets are here in

2807
01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:10,560
the community. And for me that is

2808
01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:13,560
the larger thing I think

2809
01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:16,560
we are trying to

2810
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:17,560
address as a council. This will be

2811
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:18,560
put

2812
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:19,560
on materials. It is pretty standardized

2813
01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:20,560
but I think the things that we are

2814
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:22,560
gaining in terms of who brings people

2815
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:23,560
to our city, what

2816
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:25,560
their thoughts are about our city and

2817
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:26,560
about public comments in

2818
01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:28,560
terms of our business sector, I think

2819
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:30,560
those are a lot

2820
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:31,560
of the things that really make the

2821
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:34,560
brand

2822
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:36,560
stand out even more. So

2823
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:37,560
with that I don't have any reservations

2824
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,560
in terms

2825
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:41,560
of what we have here. I'm excited

2826
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:42,560
to

2827
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:43,560
see the brand standard implemented

2828
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:44,560
and looking forward

2829
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:46,560
to the marketing strategy that will

2830
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,560
accompany it as we

2831
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:49,560
tell our story. I think that is also

2832
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:51,560
the larger and

2833
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:52,560
next step of this process. Now we

2834
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:53,560
have a

2835
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:55,560
standard, what are the communications

2836
01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:57,560
we are putting

2837
01:40:57,560 --> 01:40:58,560
out? What are the stories being told? Who

2838
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:01,560
are those

2839
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:03,560
agents that will utilize to help

2840
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:04,560
tell the story of pittsburg? I think

2841
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:06,560
it will

2842
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:07,560
be really exciting. Looking forward

2843
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:09,560

2844
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:10,560
