[18:11] doctor tiffany tate are you here. Did you come back tiffany take going once
[18:17] going twice you not hear him and move on ok we have eighty mm color. Let's take a caller
[18:31] please. Hello hey go ahead hello everyone in riverside if you're not aware. City
[18:45] officials in this city are trying to sell you on this climate change policy that
[18:53] they're bringing in this global plan coming from the united nations and their
[19:03] agenda. Twenty thirty means google that and look at look at their version of it
[19:13] because they're trying to tell you that this is about having clean water clean air
[19:17] all of that that's not true we've got fluoride and chlorine in our waters. If
[19:22] you're not filtering our water you're really putting dangerous and your body part
[19:29] in the air spraying the air every single day. Look up and buy new cds can trail are
[19:39] taught. There's a brand that you have to research that information and the city
[19:43] officials. I know the mayor she is very strong with this climate change policy whether
[19:49] she is not where who's behind it or it just fits her her political agenda to her korea
[20:01] I mean they get they get state funds by implementing these programs and federal
[20:11] funds though. But in the bottom line you guys are the ones that are going to be
[20:12] suffering because you're going to be happen to credit for every carbon footprint
[20:21] your carbon footprint. Anyway on another note and twenty six years ago I was part of
[20:27] protesters were protesting the tyson miller shooting. If you remember that whole saga
[20:33] was pretty sad and how the city responded to that well there were certain
[20:41] black members in the community that refused to speak out and gail roberts
[20:44] was one of those that is when he was not to be seen because if he spoke out about that we
[20:52] would not be getting the praise from the city that she is getting today I was
[20:57] there to those people who wear their helicopters did not speak out on the shooting
[21:04] of tyson miller. There were other people that came forward of a lot of church
[21:09] members a lot of pastors local pastors including reverend mike byrd anyway
[21:19] just thought I'd share. Thank you. Let's have our next caller please my money's
[21:31] christine c man I just graduated with a masters in policy from uc riverside have
[21:37] questions about the flock cameras and they'll pee ours that are around the city. I'm
[21:43] curious if you all know probably not the top of the head but if there's a way
[21:48] for me to get information on how much the city of riverside is paying for those
[21:54] cameras are on like more information about the contracts and you see are
[22:03] saying they they do not own the cameras that are on campus but the city does and
[22:07] I'm wondering if that's correct that's all right thank you that ever next
[22:21] caller please. Good afternoon our full council city staff mrs. Padgett morning I want

[38:59] third as dale roberts standing uh uh I uh I uh uh and we have a number of folks
[39:17] who want to speak and presents them some certificates but first I just
[39:19] wanna think mary welch who's here in the crowd very revealing and the when mary
[39:27] reached out to me and said you do something for del I said well let me think about
[39:32] it. Yes though I was not a hard decision to make bread thank you mary appreciated
[39:38] and that we we're really pleased to recognize dell for his service or community and
[39:43] also proclaim this day in his honor. So we have a couple of things I think what I would
[39:48] like to do is all save the city's proclamation for the end m and then I will but
[39:54] I work on a few people I know I've caught counselors are on tenses up on the list here
[40:06] you wanna go first well there are so many things I could be sad I will say in my
[40:10] five years of being on the council. I have never seen the line wrapped around
[40:17] city hall for someone to be recognized on their birthdays and I had to text a lot of
[40:23] people at the council's ears are packed I'm very sorry if you're trying to get in
[40:26] the dell. It's a testament to the community. You've touched here in riverside you know
[40:32] for me personally I can explain and put into words the impact you've had in my
[40:37] life in the lives I've been able to see you impact in the east side and beyond is
[40:43] truly something to be proud of and I hope that you are able to I wanna say rest in
[40:49] knowing how well that you're taking care of his community but we all know dale
[40:56] robertson he doesn't stop the marais area but I think that that's also what
[40:59] motivates so many of us to keep fighting to keep going to keep showing up and I as I
[41:05] shared at the toppings are many but I'll share here with the community on never forget
[41:09] sitting down with del and I was running for city council and asking for his support
[41:16] because if you're writing for war to office you want to have dale roberts standing by
[41:19] you and I'll never forget even carmen as well cuz when I went to talk to people
[41:25] adores I kid you not there were times or they look at say all I need to know and
[41:29] see is that del carmen are with you and I'm with you but I know that for me that that
[41:34] was a testament to you again to what you have done as a couple as a community and
[41:40] with everyone behind you but your legacy is truly to me a reflection of your heart and
[41:46] your soul and for what you have given to us here in riverside and so I just wanna
[41:53] say wish you the happiest birthday I hope you are able to take in all the love that
[41:57] you truly are worthy of receiving and I hope that you just never forget that
[42:02] the impact you made on so many lives reaches beyond even the borders of the city
[42:08] riverside. We have a limp the athletes we have so many students youth who got
[42:13] incredible colleges space is higher education leaders in different parts of the world
[42:19] and some other stories are too high to you and so I just want you to know that your
[42:25] legacy is going to live on and so many different ways but we're so proud to be able
[42:29] to say here at the city riverside that we could celebrate you today and that
[42:33] your name will be on the building for the del roberts gymnasium that is
[42:39] coming to the side uh the uh with the idea of a certificate from the office
[42:47] of war two is your councilmember curt curt health member now how we get
[42:53] to share with you a camera coney but just know that I anything I could ever deal a
[42:56] phone call away and as we all say when dale roberts calls you answer thankyou thankyou
[43:04] counselors or front is our right and I hope he brought a wagon del cuz I got quite a
[43:08] few things to give you our eight. Next up is your friend and mine supervisor jose
[43:16] medina welcome supervisor with the well it certainly is excited to be here to
[43:24] celebrate dull robertson ideas birthday and l roberts day here in the chamber of
[43:32] riverside city council. So thank you to the mayor thank you to the city council
[43:40] members I first had the opportunity to meet dao over thirty years ago when I
[43:44] was a brand new teacher at poly high school and I feel like though maybe took me
[43:51] under his wing but we certainly became great friends and we remain great
[44:00] friends when iowa's elected to the legislature. I happen to me then senator holly
[44:08] mitchell now lee county supervisor holly mitchell holly mitchell shared a story
[44:16] with me she said she had never been to sacramento ever before which she was a
[44:22] student at riverside poly high school and it was dull robbers who took her and
[44:29] the bsu members and I think ali was the president of bsu at the time window roberts to
[44:37] holly mitchell to sacramento and I can tell you this having served with holly
[44:42] mitchell in sacramento. She is a force she remains a force on the lee county board
[44:49] of supervisors. It is really an honor for me to call dial a friend and he really is a
[44:58] friend and the history of riverside and the history of dull robbers are so much
[45:07] inner woven you can't talk about the history of riverside without talking
[45:11] about the history of del roberts is vast and it is good and if you have been
[45:19] fortunate to hear his stories you know what I'm talking about or if you're fortunate
[45:26] like I have been over the years to be able to share a breakfast at one of our
[45:34] favorite restaurants socket that his cafe. He's been known to go there once or
[45:42] twice so it really is an honor to be here on behalf of the riverside county board of
[45:49] supervisors honored all robbers for all the accomplishments. There
[45:53] are so many that I will really start to try the name of but let me mention one
[46:03] because just one. You know many of it was dull roberts who while he was at riverside
[46:09] poly started the multi cultural council and the multicultural counts of I
[46:17] understand well brought students from different ethnic groups different
[46:19] racial groups together. It was very important. It still is so important right and
[46:27] that is part of the work the dough roberts has done over the years again an honor
[46:34] to be here with all of you to celebrate though roberts and roberts day his ninetieth
[46:41] birthday and let me just lift up the proclamation the neighboring from
[46:44] riverside county board of supervisors that he can add to his wagon to make you sick
[46:55] or resin the uh the uh the uh the you are right what they are taking photos. I am going
[47:13] to call it chief larry king's allah as podium. I know he is going to make some comments
[47:18] if you can get in their teeth I had on highly unlikely to make it to the podium. Thank
[47:34] you jose. Thanks for being here chief. Happy birthday uncle bill. I guess it is I
[47:44] the you know I would tease him because he does get so many awards I'm surprise not
[47:48] getting like the del roberts award joe roberts tonight did I do get that many awards or
[47:54] something but I'm glad you're here still and ninety home in all seriousness I think
[47:59] you'll hear over and over the theme with l roberts is the same words here over
[48:05] community leader he's a leader he's a coach a mentor and to most of us in here a
[48:12] friend I would be remiss if I didn't talk about dale roberts effect on committee
[48:19] relations with the riverside please. I was I couldn't wait to talk first of all sippy
[48:24] with but after heard the comment come in I said I can't wait to talk now
[48:30] because I don't know what was but um to get us through our darkest days and even our
[48:35] good days in our darkest days again. That man was there from the beginning I don't
[48:41] know what meetings back I was at but the meetings I was at bill roberts spoke out and
[48:51] he's been instrumental to not only his favorite keeping me but the past she's uh five
[49:01] chiefs ago he's been of all views on chief's advisory board during this time and to
[49:04] build those relationships has taken us a long time and that man's if not the biggest
[49:09] party huge part probably the biggest part of that to build those relationships I
[49:13] know he's somebody I can always count on him he's going to shoot me straight in
[49:20] to tell me the truth but as a friend I always know that he has my back unless I'm wrong
[49:25] maybe not but he's always been there is a friend just quickly so I was sitting on
[49:30] the interview panel last week for you see are and um couple police chiefs on their couple
[49:35] highly hire education folks on there for position there and one of the questions were
[49:40] they were going over was community involvement home port that is for use or to
[49:43] reach out to the community when the panel member says why was mentored by the best
[49:46] I was mentored by dale roberts was mentor by the simply chic was in here
[49:54] said was mentored by john roberts. So it was it was great to see what a shadow he
[50:00] casts across this city and I'm proud to call my friend a blessing to his nice you know
[50:05] my position I get phone calls all day long texts all day long the start of a you good
[50:13] how are you and it'll come in what can you do this to take care of this have you looked
[50:18] into that ordeal will call me regularly to say how you doing you're right there's no
[50:23] question behind it there's no just to see how I'm doing and I can't say much I
[50:27] appreciate that and his friendship relation of years and and I know it will be
[50:31] many more years I have that relationship to rely on but I'm thankful that he's always
[50:38] here for us in building those salacious when the police department and the tree

[1:33:06] have to leave your house leave a fast one of the things you need to get
[1:33:12] make sure his medications. So one thing I advise people to do was go to home depot or
[1:33:13] lowe's get the parts box small parts box and put a week's worth of medications
[1:33:18] in that box and put it somewhere preferably toward like the fun of the garage
[1:33:23] were you know if the house collapses you can get to if you have to run about every
[1:33:27] ninety days change those out because in a disaster situation and you need
[1:33:32] the medications you might be able to get him so make sure you have that backup plan for
[1:33:37] yourself take care of yourself to carry health just a little parts box to box
[1:33:42] will pay for itself and in health or think you can serve or hunger and I'm sure that
[1:33:47] in many more tips are available on the ready riverside website so we are
[1:33:53] now at our item every two nd periodic leah to hear from our city departments and I
[1:34:01] get to do an overview tell us what they're up to an employee recognition and

[1:34:35] software up to be able to serve our community were structured under three
[1:34:41] strategic decisions we have an innovation team under purcell holly's leadership

[1:35:15] administration under chris garcia he leads our budget procurement policy purchasing
[1:35:18] and special projects arm a little bit of an overview we are supporting the complexity
[1:35:25] of the city of riverside is as broad. We have seventy two locations that were
[1:35:29] connecting we have more than nine thousand connected devices and last year we had
[1:35:34] thirty six thousand support tickets to serve all of our city employees and with that
[1:35:39] volume just to put that in context we have a support ticket coming in every three
[1:35:43] point eight minutes for accounting for business hours just to put the work load and
[1:35:48] volume love chickens for presentations from going to use similar parallels hundred
[1:35:52] and forty service requests coming in thai tea per day and that's not counting
[1:35:55] projects maintenance and things that we have to maintain and that he has done
[1:35:59] that and were able to achieve ninety five percent customer satisfaction rating or big
[1:36:04] believers in performance management and we measure all of our every service requests
[1:36:08] followed by a satisfaction survey. We have thirty seven projects from system upgrades
[1:36:13] from permitting system enhancements to financial system upgrades et-cetera as
[1:36:19] well as defending the city some of our major accomplishments we had a lot
[1:36:25] of a lot of you have seen ready rei agent that we haven't or websites also
[1:36:30] integrated with our phone system on it supported in excess of five thousand
[1:36:35] conversations in the lasts in the last year and it's doing about ten percent of the call
[1:36:41] volume right now coming into our three one one call center and achieving a fairly high
[1:36:44] satisfactory ninety plus percent on generational change project were trying to
[1:36:52] transform the city so we have a chat bot is available twenty four seven will
[1:36:55] continue to enhance that we're leveraging and I we deploy microsoft co pilot to
[1:37:00] enhance productivity and support all of our departments were also
[1:37:04] leveraging data driven decision making or merrill was encouraged us to we
[1:37:09] launched the dash the dash is accessible to all leadership for monitoring how their
[1:37:14] performance employee overtime analytics et-cetera we also launch or gis roadmap to be
[1:37:21] able to leverage a lot of real time decision making and dashboard and capabilities as
[1:37:26] ry has and much much more there is infrastructure upgrades enhancements
[1:37:30] maintenance and replacement of outdated infrastructure some of our goals were
[1:37:36] continue to defend the city and just to give you context or were under constant
[1:37:41] barrage of this not just the attacks. I wanted to also mention the productivity
[1:37:46] enhancements we had twenty seven million e mails that was the liver to the city in
[1:37:51] the last twelve months twenty one million of those were filtered out from buyer
[1:37:56] cybersecurity systems. If we just put ten seconds per e mail that staff would have to
[1:38:00] read that is in excess of three million dollars of labor. About fifty plus
[1:38:05] employee full time employee year long by just having to offset that volume of e mail
[1:38:10] coming through. So not only are we dealing with protecting the infrastructure
[1:38:14] world's increasing productivity for little comment about eighteen
[1:38:16] thousand of those were advanced malware attacks ran somewhere but sixty four
[1:38:21] thousand were fishing e mails about four thousand were fraudulent wire transfer
[1:38:26] times trying to exploit the city. We also lean with homelessness we built up
[1:38:33] through our gis supporting field staff to be able to do surveys outreach surveys and
[1:38:39] supporting our hs team as well as optimizing infrastructure replacing and
[1:38:44] the wife cameras through the investments we have three measures e baseline
[1:38:48] operations we've seen year over year about eighteen percent increase we had about
[1:38:52] thirty thousand service requests thirty one thousand service request and thirty
[1:38:57] seven thousand this year and it's by eighteen percent increase year over year
[1:39:07] the department is not just recognize were recognized nationally we've turned
[1:39:10] the twenty twenty five municipal information system excellence awards digital
[1:39:17] cities award saw and were a national contender on the recognitions little
[1:39:23] personal matrix and I thought that's helpful as all departments look for
[1:39:28] efficiencies of how can we do better and faster work we rely more on technology are
[1:39:32] staffing level has been fairly static. We have some vacancies right now but as
[1:39:36] you can see our work work volume is year over year says exponentially increasing as
[1:39:44] well turn over. We have roughly eleven vacant positions were recruiting it
[1:39:50] does take us a little bit longer. The level of access we have requires getting
[1:39:54] peace security clearance that takes a little but the time but it also means that we're
[1:39:58] able to have cross coverage with our police departments with about nine point five
[1:40:03] percent turnover were fairly diverse group we have a really close knit team we
[1:40:08] work hard. We also like having all that fun and it's the age distribution as well
[1:40:15] we're all over the place and we have tremendous amount of knowledge and experience in
[1:40:21] the team promotions we've been investing into developing the team and
[1:40:23] the team has been investing into developing themselves through competitive or care
[1:40:29] for the recruitment swede had plenty of promotions and every single one of them has
[1:40:32] been very well deserved. Some of our new hires we have a new client services manager
[1:40:39] bernie and chris our new admin serves as manager that just joined us we are a lot
[1:40:46] of the promotions has occurred has been a progression with the client
[1:40:51] services team so we're leveraging some time services and we're grateful for
[1:40:54] the staff that are helping us keep to the operations going well we recruit we also been
[1:41:00] leveraging in turns. We've had really good luck with our interns being able to take
[1:41:04] the experience they learned in the department to be able to have your full time job in
[1:41:10] the city or outsides and with that our employee of the year twenty twenty five employee
[1:41:14] of the years eric uranium eric has recently been promoted to our principal I t
[1:41:21] analysts. He is more or less or are one man team for cybersecurity all that
[1:41:24] wonderful things we're hearing eric is handling a lot of this and he has a very
[1:41:29] positive attitude can do attitudes getting to a yes and trying to find the best
[1:41:35] way of supporting our business partners in protecting the city. We wish
[1:41:38] she was here today he was expecting a baby he's no longer expecting as of this
[1:41:43] morning so he's getting two recognitions of the same day I so not only inherently
[1:41:58] rarely does happiness and with that. We recommend the council receive and file
[1:42:02] overview of the department and happy to answer any questions you have great
[1:42:06] thank you george think un can you have your team stand up so we can recognize all of
[1:42:17] them here and I always I always say to dirty every time acm people don't

[1:42:30] behind the scenes but we very much appreciate it we know how hard you all work so
[1:42:34] thank you so much and well deserved recognition. Thank you thank you thank your
[1:42:46] patience today to the all right council. We are now at our consent calendar a buoy

[1:44:19] hernandez he wished to speak to this did you have a question or kanye council
[1:44:22] member I would actually like to make a motion to approve a substitution between
[1:44:30] councilmember role r and myself on the housing and homelessness standing
[1:44:34] committee for special meeting on monday august thirty first as item number two
[1:44:41] the proposed acquisition and conversion of hotel six days in into affordable senior
[1:44:48] housing units specifically in my ward and just for just for that item the second twenties
[1:44:57] to appoint myself to stay neat standing committees previously held by former
[1:45:04] council member perry on the mobility and infrastructure committee
[1:45:09] governmental process committee and youth safety and wellness committee as
[1:45:14] they think it's incredibly important that it seeks be represented on each of these
[1:45:24] committees to have a second ok. Council members around okay I don't come in first
[1:45:34] or come back to counter that well let me let me go ahead and hear comment revelation
[1:45:46] second thoughts or comments go ahead the price if you're a new drink you can go ahead
[1:46:03] and start speaking arate eye color we are not hearing you not see a new so we will
[1:46:10] close comment and come back to council considers front yes thank you and I just
[1:46:17] want a convocation and I I do support a knife and cut a record topping on two of her
[1:46:21] committee meeting next week and there is an item in ward six I just I don't know if we
[1:46:25] can or clerk were able to include that in this because it's related to committees or
[1:46:30] if there's another action we can take to see if today the council can vote to make
[1:46:35] sure customer hernandez can join us for the meeting next week what our options
[1:46:38] regarding that first part of the motion. Thank you for the question madam pro tem of
[1:46:42] the matter before you is to discuss the I'm standing committees and regional
[1:46:50] organization assignments which my understanding from consulting with legal that is
[1:46:57] a proper motion. Ok wonderful thank you so that's the case and I'll actually come from
[1:47:03] or other potentially repair funds and they have another common for the second portion
[1:47:07] right thank you cancer road work. Yes me in the customer has discussed this earlier
[1:47:11] for the special meeting that decided to have bills to committee for the number two
[1:47:18] bearcats never okay think you can surf the county could separate the two motions of
[1:47:23] pos wiv no issue with the first one the second one though I do have an issue
[1:47:26] with because that is reworking the whole way that we do seniority in a certain
[1:47:30] committees that I know myself come a ruler cancer male wanted to be on and that
[1:47:34] would be a violation of our seniority rules sometime in the first portion of
[1:47:37] the motion of the second portion would not support because I would not like
[1:47:42] senior members to be their seniority be usurped. Ok so that was the substitute
[1:47:50] motion for just taking it really ought to be to separate them anyway. A
[1:47:57] separate separate killings early on for effect and I heard a second from
[1:48:00] councilmember kinder for the substitute council member mildred you were king I just
[1:48:07] had a quick question yes we did the agenda. I mean is that is it is this
[1:48:12] the correct time to be bringing up the substitution of on the committee cairo
[1:48:16] problem sitting in but I don't know under the rules we have it that was an agenda I
[1:48:21] don't know if this is the proper under this particular item I don't know
[1:48:25] if it is or is it so the matter before you today is to discuss a standing
[1:48:30] committee appointments now what that looks like in terms of a substitution an
[1:48:35] appointment that all income is standing committee appointments so that batters
[1:48:40] before you that what we have on the agenda is a recommendation that was
[1:48:44] brought forth by the mayor's nominee screening committee was certainly assure pleasure
[1:48:48] to deviate from that recommendation should I just love that it was that we had
[1:48:56] to attend eyes when we do such a substitution that is how we have done in the heart
[1:49:01] was always in the past and I have no note no problem with it but I just think it's just
[1:49:07] that. Are we following proper procedures and I mean you know folks folks we have
[1:49:14] rules for reason and meaning so and are under under normal circumstances if this item
[1:49:20] was not a jin dies and the plan was to the standing committee you are correct we
[1:49:23] would bring you forth on the consent calendar with the substitution requests but
[1:49:28] because the matter is already again dies as appointments it is a proper motion by
[1:49:35] ward six to request the substitution. Ok so I think why in the past it's
[1:49:39] been past practice because it hasn't been the overall appointments but it's been
[1:49:44] some special circumstance I think that's richer thinking so but it sounds like it's
[1:49:50] okay for this right. Cancer hernandez will be going back to you know addressing
[1:49:59] the separation of the two motion says. I don't understand how it's usurp in
[1:50:10] any of the seniority of the in any of the other council members. It's merely
[1:50:17] are you know allowing me to sit on the heartache the previous council members
[1:50:22] place on those committees until the next election where the council members will then
[1:50:31] have ability to choose their committees. It's not usurping the other council members are
[1:50:45] ready on committees and this will leave a vacancy on those committees and ward six won't
[1:50:52] be represented on any of these committees is to a cancer survivor to us if we
[1:50:59] could I I do have some comments on the second portion as well. Of or can we
[1:51:03] vote on the first one for the substitution I would recommend that up so I would
[1:51:06] follow counter for clooney's comments and I will make the motion to move forward
[1:51:09] with the first piece which is substituting count from hernandez to join is only for
[1:51:13] item two for housing homelessness next week that you hadn't made them pay. I
[1:51:20] had ward one and word for it was a second sale on the paralysis going burden
[1:51:29] that the queue and if I could buy or build on for the second most thinkers
[1:51:35] unanimous think you and for the second item I I would also like to say here counts
[1:51:39] and hernandez I guess my car got my question is to the city clerk. Given
[1:51:43] the recommendation from the mayor's nominees green committee that we keep what's
[1:51:48] in place and we have comes member hernandez it's now in ward six with that not
[1:51:53] automatically then have him become the member that is holding the positions of
[1:52:02] health member perry my understanding is that once the vacancy occur in an
[1:52:06] action would have to read and actually need to be taken by the city council to make an
[1:52:11] appointment of a new council member for your rules and so if there's not an action for
[1:52:16] him to be to take those what the charter says that each of us has to serve as a chair
[1:52:22] vice chair and a member. So what process does he have to be able to occupy to fulfill
[1:52:28] a charter as an elected member of this council this I think I can clarify with
[1:52:36] the mares nominee and screening committee discussion was that that
[1:52:40] would be taken up when because there has to be the whole shockley you know
[1:52:46] this counter surround has or has yes whole shuffling we are given on
[1:52:51] the recommendations ask and so then there's seniority and I think that's there are not
[1:52:56] and that was in taking in account for these particular spot so I think that's where
[1:53:02] the issue but that's where mike so then what is going to happen in the interim account
[1:53:05] number hernandez to be able to fill to fill open positions I think it was to
[1:53:11] hold those steady and leave them open until november or december. That was the motion
[1:53:18] at the nominee is green one and so I will share that of the third ranking senior
[1:53:23] member here now on this council. I personally if we're going to talk about
[1:53:27] seniority. There are some other positions I have been sought after put my
[1:53:32] recommendations and so for myself I've personally believe more so though that
[1:53:38] it is not in the interests of our residents of our community at large. And if I
[1:53:44] can look for city attorney and to the cork once again though it's my understanding
[1:53:48] that it says very clearly in the charter that we each are to have a role as the chair
[1:53:55] vice chair member after having a cafe so I'm confused does the proposed list not
[1:54:04] have been and is in seats know what I'm looking at here it shows propose listing
[1:54:11] that has was there not to propose this but then were voting on so he would have
[1:54:14] you would have a seat on the finance committee would have a seat on the housing
[1:54:18] homelessness committee he would have a seat on at least what I'm reading isn't that
[1:54:21] what the committee voted when they come I may delete seniority in the in the usurp
[1:54:26] sian comment I made is that for example counselor perry had the most seniority of all
[1:54:31] members of p are there certain committees that comes from perry was on it now that
[1:54:34] once he vacated the seat have people in the sand but mayor your list of the once once
[1:54:42] counter perry vacated that's eat their words are highly sought after seat he vacated
[1:54:45] particular the sea on the mobility infrastructure committee is highly sought
[1:54:48] after and there was other members that wanted that seat and so because their cert
[1:54:53] members have more seniority than customer hernandez we would then get axis that seat
[1:54:58] before counselor and as with similar leaders cousin restaurant has more seniority
[1:55:02] than I do if she wanted that seat she would have access to sea before I could have acted
[1:55:07] to think and I agree and and so the three quick things one I think at some point
[1:55:13] the government a process kit committee could look at. We only do this every two years
[1:55:20] not if someone wins outright in june. I think that should come forward just a side note
[1:55:23] number two I think we're talking about two separate things what you're talking
[1:55:26] about seniority of how the shuffle happens but I think l hernandez talking was
[1:55:30] thinking that he's not going to be able to serve on any committees but I'm saying
[1:55:34] the proposed list has him serving on three committees and think there might be some
[1:55:37] confusion what we would be approved today would have him in fact fulfilling
[1:55:43] the charter obligations serving on three committees with me that the city clerk
[1:55:46] respond to that. Thank you to propose so let's start from the beginning so the mares
[1:55:53] the main screening committee that received the presentation from
[1:55:56] the city clark related to the our preferences our provide provided by every
[1:56:03] council member. The proposed list that you see is part of your packet was the lists
[1:56:06] provided to that committee at the time that could meet. I decided unanimously to leave
[1:56:15] the appointment the status quo not consider the posts lists but to leave everything
[1:56:21] as status quo and those appointments where perry sat will remain vacant until this
[1:56:27] matter were to come up again in december when the new two council members from wards
[1:56:33] two and four when those seats are are sore knee and in so I've provided the proposed
[1:56:41] list to you today just for a fact of information just in case you decided on a
[1:56:46] different direction you had work of what information was provided to the mayor's
[1:56:55] nominees queenie committee so I had mis read than I thought it was we're going to proof
[1:56:56] this does seem that we would have a cult or not serving on the committee so so yummy
[1:57:03] the mayor's nominee and screen committee vote on that and then council member at
[1:57:09] the kearney me that motion to just not feel anything and just leave it open right now
[1:57:13] because they are and have two other people come in then there would be another
[1:57:17] massive re shuffling so I think that their work recommended to me is knowing
[1:57:21] screening committee my concern is this I said that when I came on the city
[1:57:27] council and issuers can insert me into customer edwards former seats and I
[1:57:29] her committees. I don't care for any of her committee that she was on and so I said why
[1:57:32] would I go there for few months just to be reassigned a few months later so we
[1:57:38] could do is this mayor's committee could meet again that if your if your pleasure
[1:57:42] so see that fit mayor to look at that but I what I wouldn't be supportive of just
[1:57:48] plugging in cancerous tumor cancer perry was because again it goes back to what
[1:57:51] I'm sane is that that means other senior members in the sty is to not get to be
[1:57:55] in concert they want to be on weekend that the list I think that is they are that perhaps
[1:58:00] has that seniority folded into that security that a vote on that list every day
[1:58:06] if I'm not the least today it was just the it was just the recommendation of a
[1:58:10] committee to hold it but that list is there you can make a motion to vote on the five by
[1:58:15] may then I would recommend that we move with the proposed assignments
[1:58:19] because I believe the cork was actually able to get with this and what majority in
[1:58:23] every once and already was asking for it which by the clerk of court thank you
[1:58:27] that it's very challenging to deal and I think what maybe we could hold off as
[1:58:31] the regional assignments being paused until we have a new council. There's many of
[1:58:36] us that serve in those capacities in the three alternates and I think that
[1:58:40] could occupy any absences so my motion would be as we move forward with the proposed
[1:58:46] assignments and hold on any regional assignments second ari question a second counter
[1:58:56] rove learned ignore that I was discussing which is okay great for its revelation is
[1:59:00] second to make appointments as working in may the city clerk to the city council
[1:59:06] response of clarification what does this take effect. I think it would be immediate
[1:59:12] but so in that would not include regional boards and so those would be things like
[1:59:20] the jpa and so then it was just a clarification. It took over immediately with
[1:59:22] the first motion that we needed that we took is irrelevant because he would
[1:59:26] already be serving on the housing and this committee so it's irrelevant
[1:59:30] so if that's the route we're going to go now you vote on it saying you probably have
[1:59:41] to reconsider guessing or test so that portion to buy just says for the record with
[1:59:47] and we kids would make a motion that we though we'd remove the substitution
[1:59:53] request for house number hernandez that the council initially voted on. Ok super
[1:59:59] aren't so now we have a motion the second met me at them. May I verify the most
[2:00:04] it is for the as they get a little confusing and so the motion on the floor is to
[2:00:08] adopt the proposed list that was recommended to the mayor's nominee and
[2:00:16] screen committee and to withdraw the substitution request and the propose this
[2:00:18] is just for the city council for the standing committee stating they helpful or even
[2:00:28] get ari yes. Just because in fact right now there may be scheduling conflicts in
[2:00:34] everything because people's schedules were reflecting old committee assignments are
[2:00:40] done I get on the very joyful cries yes yes you will be a very pretty clear right thank
[2:00:47] you ari thinks everybody vote thanks for that discussion most chic asian and perfect
[2:01:00] your work and a team cancer that's right we are item thirteen was pulled as well
[2:01:03] so we open comment for eight of thirteen comment is now open for this item available
[2:01:09] in both english and spanish call nine five one eight two six eight six eight six and
[2:01:16] follow the prompts to access the meeting in either language to request to speak
[2:01:21] pressed our nine. You can also join the a zoom the meeting id for both
[2:01:25] languages can be found on the agenda and council member bill wanted to hear sorry
[2:01:39] from tess. Thank you and that I was so wonderful to be able to make a comment and then
[2:01:41] that I think we have available think amanda for being here head of
[2:01:44] development for a potential questions but um this for clarification for the know
[2:01:49] there was concern that this was on her agenda about two weeks ago truth weeks ago now
[2:01:55] which had phase one phase two tie to this item. Looking ahead and for me personally
[2:02:00] while we are always excited to create opportunities for veterans and for those in our
[2:02:04] community with workforce training of their still language in here that
[2:02:09] references ai and I know that there are still concerns around what that piece is
[2:02:14] going to look like. So I will say my why I think there's parts of this that are
[2:02:22] exciting that could be very helpful to what we're looking to do in the community I
[2:02:27] going to personally abstain until we could see what other future items that we have
[2:02:29] coming from some council members around data centers and how that could impact
[2:02:36] riverside and our constituents but I just wanted to I guess since we
[2:02:40] have your peer director could you please speak to some of the adjustments that were
[2:02:43] made to this report as it related to language originally that's a data
[2:02:47] center and I understand it was removed but just given that things are always ever
[2:02:53] changing. I wasn't sure if that something could emerge again in the future depending
[2:02:57] on how this program could unfold. Yes absolutely thank you so much good good
[2:03:04] afternoon america dozen members of the city council randy evans kenny an
[2:03:07] economic element tractor before you today. This is in response to this mou that was
[2:03:12] last heard in for the economic development committee last month at
[2:03:16] the june meeting. This is with the institute for veterans and emerging
[2:03:19] technology skills also known as I vets which works out very well and stem works and
[2:03:24] so really what we're looking at to address the mayor pro tem comments are how can we
[2:03:31] encourage and focus on workforce development as it relates to skilling re
[2:03:34] skilling for veteran and that includes emerging technology and so part of that is caught
[2:03:39] is quantum computing. Yes mayor pro tem you're absolutely correct on ai and
[2:03:44] we also have language learning models included in that robotics and
[2:03:47] semiconductors also considering infrastructure and training and job
[2:03:53] readiness around veterans in the area and also defense and aerospace as we're continuing
[2:03:58] to build out that thriving cluster that we have in riverside as well so that
[2:04:02] includes drones tunnel systems and advanced manufacturing. So in response
[2:04:07] to comments received and the discussion after the june eighteen twenty twenty six
[2:04:13] economic development committee conversation staff did go back and revise
[2:04:16] the mou to remove that phase two is you had mentioned which could consider we
[2:04:21] didn't have any binding language but it would consider the potential of
[2:04:25] exploring a data center so that part was completely removed in terms of the staff
[2:04:30] report presentation and the mou itself it is all non binding and entering into
[2:04:35] this and though you really is a workforce development tool and authorizes mare locked us
[2:04:40] in her doesn't need to be able to make any minor changes to that as well so as
[2:04:44] we're waiting for the cut the conversation coming in september the land use
[2:04:47] committee surrounding data center's staff out of respect for that remove that
[2:04:52] completely. We also have a representative today from the institute for veterans
[2:04:56] and emerging technology mr. Robert nava who might want to speak to that announcement
[2:05:01] missional context as well so that we ensure all of your questions or just appreciate
[2:05:07] that and I think just for myself knowing that there are still layers that would need
[2:05:10] to be worked out a future as a release two more so the defense and aerospace
[2:05:15] references drones autonomous systems advanced manufacturing the drug
[2:05:20] the time systems for me are still little bit of a point that I am there's there's
[2:05:25] been a lot emerging in those sectors some of which are very concerning whether
[2:05:30] that's through our labor workforce. You know with labor unions with the time
[2:05:37] the systems or even drones through some of you know alice a lot for some agencies
[2:05:42] and other groups you know and how they are being utilized at this time right now and
[2:05:47] communities and so I still have apprehensions with some of the pieces but I was
[2:05:50] really I wanna say I appreciate the sling which being removed. Regarding
[2:05:55] the data center and also one of the celts memorable art. I know is you know working on
[2:05:59] the site connecting communicating with your team as you know he had worked
[2:06:02] helping this economic development committee and so just today I still think I'd
[2:06:07] be more information before I could feel comfortable confident moving forward but
[2:06:10] wanted to make those quick comments for the as to why personally will be abstaining
[2:06:15] but again loving the emerging tech component the infrastructure and I
[2:06:19] think there's some really great pieces to this but again think there's still
[2:06:22] some work we have to do some other areas before I could feel comfortable taking a
[2:06:26] formal vote on it but thank you for being here today for giving us some insight to
[2:06:32] cancer thank you doctor evans eye to eye to cancer road to sp for asking the eye I see
[2:06:42] we have no cars would close comment will come back to counsel kids will think you
[2:06:49] are just were quickly you know her savant is a cancer him they were on
[2:06:52] the committee when it came to four s proposal and a couple clarification points. It is
[2:06:59] an mou this with combining about this is just a framework of saying hey
[2:07:04] there's an organization or community that wants to do this could work this try to
[2:07:08] help and do good work that there's nothing details beyond that the phase two
[2:07:13] portion of it had the bad nasty word of data center and heard r r I t team we had a
[2:07:25] son hears it all we did a sitter approach every office building in riverside
[2:07:28] the server room on that's the equivalent of what we were talking about here. Ah
[2:07:32] mm. So nevertheless we're going move on from the data center pieces and and focus
[2:07:36] on the phase one part of this which is workforce training it's not just veterans
[2:07:41] although they are the target audience is expanded for on the riverside or they can
[2:07:45] they can participate in this training and look for to the future and I think you
[2:07:52] know we have a ton of the shuttle's upper inner city were the first city in
[2:07:56] the united states to have a government contract for transportation authority
[2:08:01] these are all things that are already happening in our city and I think when we look at
[2:08:06] our economic conditions that were in there are winners and losers in the ones who are
[2:08:11] not participating and not moving for losers and this technology what's happening
[2:08:19] today the hundreds of different tomorrow. It's it's you think about ten years
[2:08:24] from now look at pc from ten years ago it's when you know an ancient machine compared
[2:08:30] to what we have today and so I think we'll wait for the data center conversation
[2:08:33] a later date but I think this mou as a stand which is phase one is it's it's not open
[2:08:38] the door to anything that scariest just getting people that work force training that
[2:08:42] they need and a changing economy and denied access to our own residence to
[2:08:48] the skytrain I think is going to hurt us economically but most leave it there
[2:08:59] the emotion out of the motion passes think you have a motion word three
[2:09:02] second by ward four councilmember felt phony thank you mayor I don't get
[2:09:04] the top of data centers will be discussed at land use but does one explain my of my
[2:09:08] abstaining vote because I have something in the works that this item spurred that
[2:09:13] report that's why I'm abstaining is just there's too many things happening
[2:09:16] simultaneously think it's bad timing on this. Thank you understood our counsel we
[2:09:21] have a nation is second on the site and please vote and it's okay to be reset. Okay
[2:09:55] pictures. So for her. We appreciate if you didn't know who she wanted to call us to
[2:10:02] recall it would all roll call vote we're going to abstain or to abstain or three. Yes
[2:10:07] ward four or five yes would six or seven. Motion carries with four affirmative votes
[2:10:14] three of stitches word one two and six right thank you now or enter last item that
[2:10:19] was pulled from consent. This is item number thirty four now I think that would never
[2:10:26] tell them the open comment for item number thirty for comment is now open for this
[2:10:30] item available in both english and spanish call nine five one eight two six eight
[2:10:36] six eight six and follow the prompts to access the meeting in either
[2:10:40] language to request to speak pressed our nine. You can also join the air zoom
[2:10:45] the meeting id for both languages can be found on the agenda. I think you can
[2:10:51] see burma which is like to ask a question or would you want to solder together a
[2:10:57] team can create a what I wear get I got like six questions for you okay. Really you know
[2:11:03] it is about you I support you no response water conservation but what I don't
[2:11:09] support a sacramento passing yet another mandate sending it down to us here at
[2:11:12] the local government and expect our residents or businesses and major ways to
[2:11:17] pick up the bill and that's what that's what I see this is another unfunded mandate
[2:11:22] from sacramento. So I have have some questions in the report stated that there
[2:11:28] be no fiscal impact to the city so my first question two would be how can
[2:11:36] the report states there is no fiscal impact when the city will have responsibility for
[2:11:42] outreach administration inspections and enforcement so we do there's no no in
[2:11:48] fiscal impact with the ordinance in and of itself though we will have
[2:11:54] the fiscal year are right we will have that fiscal impact for any of the complaints any
[2:11:59] code violations that do go into effect just like we would with any other code a
[2:12:05] code requirement. The other and we do have other requirements under this
[2:12:10] particular legislation as well as other legislation that plath passed around
[2:12:15] the same time to do to do outreach to customers and other items but that is cost
[2:12:21] impacts that we we saw from the regulation as opposed to from this but you are correct
[2:12:30] there would be an impact on our enforcement news so far from a lay person and I'm at
[2:12:35] home you know reading council reports. It says there's no fiscal impact it's misleading
[2:12:39] to say that there's no fiscal impact when they're in fact is a fiscal impact it will
[2:12:43] cost the taxpayers of riverside something. My next question is how many
[2:12:50] riverside is is it your ways and other properties will actually be affected by this
[2:12:53] ordinance. Do we know. I don't have that number right off the top of my head I'm
[2:12:58] right here but we have been reaching out to all of our customers over the last
[2:13:03] several years and since this legislation passed and we have done several
[2:13:10] presentations to the chamber of commerce two different chamber of commerce to
[2:13:12] different neighborhood groups and we are reaching out we have done the assessment to
[2:13:17] look at which ones needed to be contacted but I just don't have that number right in
[2:13:23] front of me question what is he an estimated cost to property owners to comply
[2:13:28] have you as a staff calculated that it is highly dependent on the land area
[2:13:33] and the veggie the landscaping that they choose to replace that with
[2:13:38] this can be a small amount for for a small space and then depending on what is it
[2:13:43] can be very expensive for them. Fourth question how much rebate or other
[2:13:50] financial system is currently available and what happens when that funding runs out
[2:13:56] so am. Last summer it was there was a rebate that was available from
[2:14:03] the metropolitan water district for seven dollars per square foot every
[2:14:05] placement and those rebates were very large they rapidly ran out of money in that
[2:14:11] program is currently set at four dollars and per square foot and rp use funding but
[2:14:17] that is pretty much fully subscribed. Rp use additional funding that adds on to that
[2:14:23] and adds air supports that four dollars is also fully subscribed at this point for
[2:14:30] our commercial rebates my fifth question what hardship protections will be provided
[2:14:36] before issuing citations to businesses already are ways that cannot afford these
[2:14:42] conversions. So the support that we can provide on that and this is part of the part
[2:14:49] of the legislation that was passed was a delay in the implementation and if
[2:14:55] they are facing hardship or are in a disadvantaged community area they do have
[2:15:00] until twenty thirty one for compliance to save up for the money. Hopefully we would
[2:15:05] also get some more funding available for additional rebates but we can also
[2:15:11] assist those customers in applying for a hard ship with the department with the state
[2:15:17] department located at I apologise for not letting you know no that's fine. Not my
[2:15:24] questions on the diligence and for sticking up for what I think our businesses or
[2:15:26] agencies were being taken advantage of our friends in sacramento. Yet again I'm not
[2:15:33] apologizing for that I'm apologize that I didn't give you a heads up ahead of time
[2:15:36] so my next question what happens legally if the council senses back and
[2:15:44] asks to get those answers that I have my bike I know you were prepared has
[2:15:48] unfortunately I my my bad for not giving you the heads up on the questions ahead of
[2:15:53] time so you have those answers but what happens to us if we send this back and
[2:15:57] wait you have those answers so I can feel comfortable voting yes some of
[2:16:02] the questions some of the answers we can develop ourselves and I can
[2:16:05] definitely get those answers for you for example on the square footage the number
[2:16:09] of customers that will be impacted but this week and we can get that number for
[2:16:14] the as some of the other questions that you hide related to funding I am not
[2:16:22] even sure that the state will have an answer to that if there's going to be funding
[2:16:27] made available and some of it is for example would have been the water conservation
[2:16:32] surcharge that we no longer have here at the city of riverside. That was what was
[2:16:36] providing our remaining funding for our programs here and we're now pretty much
[2:16:41] we're going to be bringing for tonight and pretty soon to let you know that that
[2:16:44] money as you directed from a council to have that money spent down in four years we
[2:16:49] will be done with that probably this year so this really early though we can we
[2:16:55] can add you. We don't have to we don't have to move on this today we have plenty of time
[2:16:59] to move on that as long as we get this adopted before the end of the year we would
[2:17:06] not face any penalties. So we can bring this back at the next at another meeting
[2:17:10] with the additional information that you have requested here but we do have
[2:17:14] if we do not. If the council does not approve this by the end of the year. There is
[2:17:19] the potential for penalties on from the state if we are because we would be found in
[2:17:25] noncompliance. So I have other comments and I have a motion want to make but if
[2:17:33] you want to see if there's any comment that if there's a comment for this item are
[2:17:38] eight will close comment will go to cancer and cancers of I go again this is yet
[2:17:46] another impose to mandate from sacramento in our city and I want to be clear that
[2:17:52] we needed accounting of what it's going to cost us what's going to house that this is
[2:17:56] what it's going to ca I need to know what's going to cost the taxpayers because again
[2:18:01] this report says there's not modify a shot that clearly there's going to be a fine
[2:18:06] ship. I want to know what the impacts going to be like to know what the financial
[2:18:09] impact would be on on on the business is the age of ways and the folks that are
[2:18:14] are being required to pay for this you know what kind of financial assistance is going
[2:18:20] to be available I think it's important you know times are tough right now we're turn on
[2:18:24] the news businesses are struggling. This is yet another another hit to
[2:18:29] the pocketbook for businesses small businesses and I want to know what we're going to
[2:18:39] do to protect those that are in your facing economic hardship. I think you know
[2:18:45] times are tough right now and this is yet another sacramento mandate that they
[2:18:49] give to us to impose on our residents or businesses folks I just don't think
[2:18:54] it's fair. So how about a promotion but I like to make I like to move that we
[2:19:01] continue this item and direct staff to return with additional information
[2:19:04] addressing the fiscal and administrative impacts of implementation enforcement
[2:19:10] the number of riverside business is it your ways and other properties affected
[2:19:14] estimated cost to property owners the availability and adequacy of rebates or other
[2:19:19] financial assistance hardship protections clear standards for determining functional
[2:19:23] versus non functional turf and confirmation that the ordinances not impose
[2:19:31] requirements beyond those mandated by ab fifteen seventy two as much a login
[2:19:40] and that the latest week a comeback is in november so we will actually have a report
[2:19:44] done in about sixty days to date at adam. We may actually be him. I'm sorry pretty so
[2:19:52] so we need to come back in november to you so the ninety days. Yet ninety two election
[2:19:58] are yet to come back sooner then refine it a guide for ninety days or sooner if you
[2:20:09] or if it's the information rights of emotion a second skelter savant else think you
[2:20:13] I think for myself and just a little confused when we actually think about water
[2:20:18] conservation and the cost it's quite expensive and to actually have to pay to make
[2:20:23] and the justification for this is the non functional turf with little water house
[2:20:27] no longer considered reasonable or sustainable use of underwater state policy
[2:20:32] so I am actually in the other side where I think this is going to save people
[2:20:36] money by not having not paying into just you know which I know that there's all
[2:20:41] different opinions on unification when it comes to green landscaping and I will
[2:20:47] say that though my on the other flip side I actually wonder how much are
[2:20:51] we say being right means in a row some residents but the clear layout of those
[2:20:56] who'd be impacted. It says here more so common errors each ways common interest
[2:21:01] developments. See I d's kami service organizations it does reference local government
[2:21:10] can seize this was unanimously approved by the are you bored I guess I
[2:21:12] if if this item does come back I first lay don't be voting today to move to
[2:21:18] extend a knot in the pa's like never in the favour of us wanting to be penalties
[2:21:22] come down from the state to not be compliant but I guess I'm kind of curious on if you
[2:21:27] can speak to right now when this was brought to our pew board was presented in terms
[2:21:31] of how this would actually have a fiscal impact positively for the for those
[2:21:38] folks and I understand why they might have to make a slight investment in a switch
[2:21:42] of potentially desert landscape for some alternatives if they want to
[2:21:45] still have their view the properties be unified but with this not actually
[2:21:49] ultimately save h away and other folks' money down the line it does have
[2:21:54] the potential the year is the upfront cost in the case said it's very dependent on
[2:21:59] individual properties what they already have in place because it depends on what
[2:22:08] their irrigation system is unfair for a place out that irrigation system that's
[2:22:10] where cost is but that isn't upfront cost but you're absolutely correct in that
[2:22:14] the customers will be saving money in the long term and by not watering and they won't
[2:22:20] have as high of a water bill or at least not as high as it would have been how they have
[2:22:26] turf in there in their yard or in their long their landscaping because this
[2:22:33] doesn't impact single family homes in anyway and this is this is purely commercial
[2:22:39] industrial and institutional we did not present those costs to the board on which
[2:22:43] is way did not have that do not have that but we'll include that as well in
[2:22:49] the subsequent report that we bring for it right can sever him in rain and maybe just
[2:22:56] for information that might come back as well do it is riverside in a unique space
[2:23:02] where I was so we have our own pub utility. We have certain water rights. I've
[2:23:07] heard things in the past about use it or lose it in all the different things. Are
[2:23:11] we uniquely position that would set us a little bit apart from others that we
[2:23:17] might need to consider how these impact differently if we don't have a chance for
[2:23:22] that maybe at some we come back with as well. We can weaken we can address that in
[2:23:25] the report but I do I riverside is not uniquely positioned in in relative to
[2:23:30] the rest of the state in this in this space are we do have our own water one hundred
[2:23:38] percent of our own water here but as far as the state law goes they did not separate
[2:23:44] out any in any type of differentiation between what you have your own water
[2:23:52] supply or you're depending on for example the state water project is that is not
[2:23:53] separated but having our own water supply and use it or lose it does not impact us in
[2:23:59] the weeks we do have a lot of growth and development from additional but we also have
[2:24:04] requirements to reduce per capita water usage and report on that and meet those
[2:24:10] standards as well having this ordinance in place actually helps us meet those
[2:24:15] requirements is well those were under the making conservation a california way
[2:24:18] of life which is another piece of legislation that we're working on implementing
[2:24:25] right now and then just as I was reading it it does say common areas of hoa hum had
[2:24:27] questions from our hoa is certainly to ease our space where they have big green
[2:24:33] patches of common grass in the middle where they have picnics and movie nights are
[2:24:38] with those be included in that space. Those are excluded because those are
[2:24:41] active turf touch areas so anything that is used actively where somebody is
[2:24:46] whether it's picnicking or it's it's used for outdoor activities. Those are
[2:24:53] excluded so parks and cemeteries are excluded from from the requirements other
[2:24:57] types of uses h two a areas that are used are definitely excluded from this process
[2:25:03] and they have to self certify and the hoa will be able to self certify they would be
[2:25:07] able to define that that is used for their for their area and that may have answered
[2:25:14] when my last question here with said it's mainly for all these larger commercial
[2:25:21] although it does say larger property owners with more than five thousand square
[2:25:23] feet. I'm guessing it will jump in the ward five but with the greenbelt area. I'm
[2:25:25] guessing there are some that have lots of trees and for no sorry it got re thinks that
[2:25:34] that would be a single property owner not necessarily commercial on
[2:25:38] some level but would they be affected maybe just a private home or to has over you know
[2:25:44] know am it again in only and only applies to commercial industrial so large that
[2:25:48] somebody who has their own single property is not used for business is not it is
[2:25:53] exempt from this things they're not required to comply. I'm not great and by
[2:25:58] real person so thankful for the fakes and counter are not to believe this point again
[2:26:05] frustrated by the sky mandates share the frustrations that sean
[2:26:08] has but you do that cost analysis I would suggest a couple like two or three
[2:26:14] specific examples properties get the quotes on them so helps us visualize
[2:26:22] the impacts are not just us but the community impacts because yes upfront costs
[2:26:26] versus down the road cos I anticipated to be a lot of grass around our city for a
[2:26:30] long time because people in the front cost but that's it that's it that's a different
[2:26:36] you have those. I'm sorry didn't mean to talk of eid we do have examples because we
[2:26:41] have had several of our customers have already done their conversions are in
[2:26:46] the process of doing out arate accounts or from pony mayor thank you trish has
[2:26:52] actually frozen to get to I actually disagree with sacramento won ninety five
[2:26:55] percent of everything that they do but in this particular case I think this
[2:26:58] is a wise wise law we have we've had several and I worked on some of my myself
[2:27:04] with landscape designer several projects and rebates have been amped have been
[2:27:12] available for ample time businesses have had time is a lot of churches in particular
[2:27:14] actually. In ward three and were five that did this work we did in a park space that
[2:27:19] was have an underutilized park space here in ward one and its paradigm because
[2:27:24] the rebates were available so there's been ample time to prepare for this I think and
[2:27:28] I just think we have to get out of this you know nineteenth century mindset of
[2:27:34] the turf it just sits past it has to be gone so I think that this is one thing that I
[2:27:38] can agree with out of sacramento and folks have had time to do it needs to be
[2:27:42] done to remove their turf think you can spare ammonia I dislike a follow up on a
[2:27:49] comment or question from a customer hemingway and we talked about the grass open
[2:27:55] space. Who determines who makes the determination where the turf is functional or non
[2:28:02] functional who makes the call so if as far as code enforcement comes and if it
[2:28:05] looks like it's active. It'll be at kind of leaving it open instead of rigidly defined
[2:28:11] gives some leeway in that determination but again each individual customer will self
[2:28:16] certify and they can make some of those determination it could enforcement is
[2:28:20] called we will we will have to come out with standards at that time but it may be
[2:28:29] beneficial to allow its better being so rigid. You might have that flexibility
[2:28:33] because something you may want him you know either to not enforce or to enforce
[2:28:37] based on the use that makes sense for that might be unique for that particular
[2:28:42] site and it could be excluded or included. If the definition is too strict
[2:28:47] which is why the state left it as open as they did the back are areas where we
[2:28:52] run into trouble because when we go after property a move in but not proper to be I
[2:28:58] think that's where we run into it leaves us open for potential lawsuits. I just
[2:29:08] want to say you know I believe you said that we don't have to to to have this
[2:29:11] passed until next year now and by the end of december so be sure to call him ask in
[2:29:20] force for more information so I would I would hope that my colleagues would be would
[2:29:23] indulge in the fact that we before we vote on things that we would have as much
[2:29:27] information as as possible before before we vote on things and all I'm asking for
[2:29:33] is is the opportunity to have all the information in front of me before I vote yes or no
[2:29:41] and I would hope that my my colleagues would indulge me and him being informed as to
[2:29:47] what we're voting on so I if we have until december thirty first. There's no need that
[2:29:50] we need to to to move forward with this today you can come back within ninety days with
[2:30:00] the information I want and I can make an informed decision I thought I would hope that I
[2:30:03] know my voter's my residents want me to be informed when I vote on things here and I
[2:30:08] would hope that my colleagues would would join me in wanting to be have all
[2:30:13] the information before we vote or survive tess one speaking to that I was going
[2:30:17] to ask a member I feel more comfortable if we could look at me sixty days just because
[2:30:23] a I feel like want to make sure we can get this before us and I can work with
[2:30:31] the mayor with sixty six e okay I I I'm I'm a little bit works in the sunshine
[2:30:35] ordinance with getting everything done and some of that and getting the postings
[2:30:40] out but as early but early as early as sixteen ninety. Ok I am most concerned about
[2:30:52] getting the responses back from the state so that is just making sure we have
[2:30:56] adequate time to get an answer for that they will fight by appealing to support
[2:31:01] the extension of time if we can work with you home when your team on the agenda
[2:31:05] setting conference whatnot on getting this back sooner as I'd love to be able to fully
[2:31:11] participate in it as well before the end of the year but I will say that for to
[2:31:14] wrap and then would my could also be is I don't know if we have the city are able to
[2:31:20] actually get across at the be a discount on turf. If you know if we have a program or
[2:31:26] something uh if we're able to say no you go through this program we go through a
[2:31:30] certain provider of other cities have done this but essentially if you were to go
[2:31:34] through the city and want to go through this turf abatement you know you'll get
[2:31:38] a discount for x amount of square footage but just even seeing if there could be some
[2:31:43] options like that brought forward for us to look at. I think that that's my thought
[2:31:48] on line is we'll have to have some potential show people so I was apprehensive on voting
[2:31:54] to speak stand this but I'm willing to vote yes but if we can work to get more to
[2:31:59] the sixty versus ninety I feel more comfortable and happy to work with the staff
[2:32:03] on the site in terms of that we bring this back to council thank you in just a note we
[2:32:11] have a motion second on the four councilor connor are equipped with everything has
[2:32:15] been said my colleague comes member mil is very eloquent in his words he's very
[2:32:20] passionate about this that's why I will support him on this one of my problems with
[2:32:24] sacramento on the way that they just met with these law they have no idea what
[2:32:28] riverside is those old saying that the camino just as long as laws are absolute even
[2:32:34] life itself than exception is a victim of exceptions I don't like. Again some of
[2:32:42] the stuff that's here but with that said I'll support him on it right thank you

[2:33:49] project would include the fiscal year's twenty five twenty six sb one street
[2:33:53] maintenance and the downtown ballard and deletion a little background on sb one of
[2:34:01] the funding was passed in twenty seventeen by senate bill one and it actually
[2:34:08] create legislation to increase funding for our local streets and this is
[2:34:17] paid for through increase in gas taxes and registration fees these funds are
[2:34:29] distributed to local municipalities to the state of california road
[2:34:35] maintenance and rehabilitation accounts are known as rm or any part of
[2:34:40] the s b one local streets and roads program since it began we have actually received
[2:34:44] fifty nine million dollars from this program since twenty seventeen so it's
[2:34:51] actually been making a good dent in our paving needs each year the city council
[2:35:00] approves a resolution to accept list that will be funded for with these fines
[2:35:05] so for the twenty five twenty six sb one project lists was adopted by this
[2:35:11] council on august eight twenty twenty five work utilizes a combination of our
[2:35:23] pain management program and requests from residents and our council to develop our
[2:35:28] annual paving plan b one is just one part of our our pie for our poor funding we also
[2:35:36] receive revenues from other base gas tax from county measure a and from the city's
[2:35:43] measure z altogether we received roughly twenty four million dollars a year for pv
[2:35:49] this brought this project primarily uses sb one funds I say primarily because

[2:39:12] presentation on here for any comments requests. Thank you mr. Ramirez let me see if we
[2:39:17] have any comment for item number thirty eight right. No collars in their requests in
[2:39:27] chambers will close comment and come back to council comes or refund can thank
[2:39:31] mayor have one quick question that I'll make a motion for the signage is there a way
[2:39:38] for us to require these contractors to do their signage the same quality in
[2:39:42] specs that we do in our sign shop because I can on the road way I can drive and
[2:39:45] I can tell which signs are made in house by the city of riverside because they're
[2:39:49] high quality and the really kind of crappy ones that are done by a lot of our
[2:39:55] contractors. How do we do how do we ensure our specs are the same there. Yeah got
[2:40:00] the look at tor specs and ceo you know what what are they doing to cut corners or say
[2:40:07] cos obviously the contractors are trying to go the cheapest way but some of the crack in
[2:40:10] fate so much faster god that we do. I don't assign freak but it's it's it's very busy
[2:40:15] so I know director mustafa may have something there to its member and make me stop
[2:40:20] of course irked or sometimes we've noticed that the graffiti coating or I'm
[2:40:24] sorry that the uv coating as well can be omitted from some of the science which can
[2:40:28] cause quicker damage and weave weave footwork in the past make sure that our
[2:40:33] inspectors have a closer eye on that if you notice any that were recently done
[2:40:38] please let us know because generally the contractors we have them with a warranty
[2:40:43] period so we knew back in quickly resolve that we can believe me our teams where
[2:40:47] the issue in the past and will be sure to inspect as per what are they still
[2:40:51] though doing this the same specs though because I think what's happening is they're
[2:40:54] living through their warranty phase which is maybe two years or something or year
[2:40:57] but we have some that you know if you're driving from the courtyard to city hall
[2:41:01] using using city streets on the freeway you can tell these are street signs like I
[2:41:06] think it's in the mix from ward five in or three brought a rise in the thing is
[2:41:11] watching a few others that you can tell that it is or not may buy or sign sean we
[2:41:15] should be or specifications should reflect the same three m material that we use in or
[2:41:20] sign shop but will double check that part of respects following this with at recess
[2:41:24] recommendation. Thank you mayor r and motion were one second my word for discussion
