1
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:22,980
To the city council meeting tonight, I would like to call the meeting to order and ask our city clerk to do the roll call.

2
00:02:23,180 --> 00:02:25,500
Thank you. We'll start roll call with Vice Mayor Elvord.

3
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Here.

4
00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:28,240
Council Member Haldechal has been excused.

5
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:29,880
Councilor Mendenza.

6
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,180
Here.

7
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,420
Council Member Ruckucci.

8
00:02:31,660 --> 00:02:31,800
Here.

9
00:02:32,020 --> 00:02:33,960
And Mayor Bernerskone has been excused.

10
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,000
Okay, so we will have the Pledge of Allegiance.

11
00:02:37,180 --> 00:02:39,660
Our CFO, Dennis Kaufman, is going to come up and lead us.

12
00:02:44,260 --> 00:02:50,280
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands.

13
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:56,300
which stands one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

14
00:03:02,660 --> 00:03:08,380
Before we get started, we lost a colleague from Rockland who is a former city council

15
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:13,540
member there, Peter Hill. So we're going to dedicate the meeting tonight to Peter. And

16
00:03:13,540 --> 00:03:18,040
at the end, when we do comments, Pauline Rakucci, council member Rakucci will have

17
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:23,060
a few words to say about him. And with that, we're going to start with the meeting

18
00:03:23,060 --> 00:03:27,160
procedures. I'd like to request the City Clerk announce those. Thank you. Good

19
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,280
evening everyone and welcome to the City of Roswell City Council meeting. We

20
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,620
appreciate your participation whether you're in person or tuning in remotely.

21
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,380
Agendas are available just outside our council chambers or online on our city's

22
00:03:38,380 --> 00:03:41,900
website. All public comments should be directed to the City Council and not

23
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:45,860
to the audience or staff. Speakers in the audience must use the podium as

24
00:03:45,860 --> 00:03:50,160
this meeting is being recorded. For public comment section is limited to 25

25
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,540
minutes and we'll start with speakers present in the audience followed by those attending remotely.

26
00:03:55,340 --> 00:03:59,260
Each speaker will be allowed at three minutes for their comments while speakers addressing

27
00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:03,780

28
00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:08,480
Act does allow for public comment on all items listed and comments should be relevant to the

29
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,780
matter that is being considered. When the red light begins to blink at the podium we kindly

30
00:04:12,780 --> 00:04:17,460
ask the speakers to conclude their comments. The Brown Act prohibits the City Council

31
00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:21,640
from discussing debating or taking action on items that are not listed on tonight's agenda.

32
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:27,000
Members of the public are welcome to speak about any topic within the council's jurisdiction that

33
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,300
isn't listed on the agenda tonight. For those participating remotely, you will enter the

35
00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:42,580
order that their hands are raised. Please monitor your assigned number as it will switch to one

36
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:44,200
when it is your turn to speak.

37
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,800
Once recognized as the next speaker in queue as one,

38
00:04:48,180 --> 00:04:49,980
you may unmute yourself and if you wish,

39
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:51,220
you can turn on your camera.

40
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:53,640
If you're calling in on a phone,

41
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,040
you will be recognized by the last four digits

42
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:56,920
in your phone number.

43
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,480
You must press star five to raise your hand

44
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,400
and star six to unmute yourself.

45
00:05:02,940 --> 00:05:04,960
Please note that using the remote options

46
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,840
will have anywhere from a five to 15 second delay

47
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,400
from the time when you are called

48
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,520
to when the council can hear you in the chamber.

49
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,500
Per SB 707, if there are any interruptions due to technical issues on the remote platform,

50
00:05:17,980 --> 00:05:21,600
the city will work diligently to resolve the issue within an hour or sooner.

51
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,900
If we're unable to fix the issue in the time allotted,

52
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,540
the public can still view the meeting via the city's YouTube channel

53
00:05:29,540 --> 00:05:33,160
or on Comcast 14, our government access channel.

54
00:05:33,820 --> 00:05:38,740
The council meeting may continue if a determination is made in accordance with our adopted city policy.

55
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:43,020
with that we thank you for your civic participation tonight and welcome you to

56
00:05:43,020 --> 00:05:51,140
the City of Roseville we have quite a few tonight so I would I would ask given

57
00:05:51,140 --> 00:05:56,300
the time limit of 25 minutes and we have a couple possibly on the phone if you

58
00:05:56,300 --> 00:06:00,620
have already heard something try not to repeat what's already been heard and

59
00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:04,480
and we welcome you to come up and kind of add some new content and and have

60
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:11,920
you three minutes. So let's see, we will start with Kate Rosenlieb and there you are. Hi,

61
00:06:12,020 --> 00:06:12,140
Kate.

62
00:06:15,210 --> 00:06:19,710
Good evening. I'm Kate Rosenlieb, a resident of Heritage Solar in West Roosevelt.

63
00:06:20,170 --> 00:06:25,550
I came and spoke to you at last month's July 15th meeting regarding safety issues from

64
00:06:25,550 --> 00:06:31,110
lack of adequate cell phone service in my senior living community. I thought it only

65
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:34,810
appropriate to come and say what's happened since I spoke to you last month.

66
00:06:35,570 --> 00:06:41,350
The City IT representatives we've been working with, Se Hong and Matt Sweet, and our Council

67
00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:46,410
Representative Karen Alford, included us in a meeting with Senior Deputy City Attorney

68
00:06:46,410 --> 00:06:52,610
Mike Christensen, Development Services Director Mike Isom, and Development Services Assistant

69
00:06:52,610 --> 00:06:55,070
Director Greg Bitter, which occurred yesterday.

70
00:06:55,070 --> 00:07:01,910
day. We at Heritage Solar are immensely grateful for the efforts of our city representatives

71
00:07:01,910 --> 00:07:09,670
to engage us in an open forum where information, ideas, concerns, goals, and constraints could

72
00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:15,950
be shared and better understood. The meeting didn't produce any magical answers or short-term

73
00:07:15,950 --> 00:07:21,890
results, but just having the city recognize the need for this open forum where several

74
00:07:21,890 --> 00:07:28,390
stakeholders got a voice and resulted in all of us being better informed was so vital to our

75
00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:36,410
community. The city's IT reps teamed up with Verizon to try a new enhanced version of a small cell

76
00:07:36,410 --> 00:07:41,750
unit that will definitely help many in our neighborhood and this should go live in just a

77
00:07:41,750 --> 00:07:48,250
few days. T-Mobile is making good progress on a new cell tower at the Westbrook Storage Facility

78
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:52,430
which also will improve cell phone service to many in my neighborhood.

79
00:07:53,250 --> 00:07:59,190
These new and exciting service improvements will not solve all of our service coverage gaps,

80
00:07:59,550 --> 00:08:00,430
not even close.

81
00:08:00,910 --> 00:08:04,210
But I am so thankful for the steps in the right direction

82
00:08:04,210 --> 00:08:07,350
and for the incredible efforts your team is making.

83
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:11,310
I want to also mention the team at Roseville Electric

84
00:08:11,310 --> 00:08:14,850
who have been so helpful to our heritage solar community.

85
00:08:14,850 --> 00:08:18,650
They often deal with cell phone providers and their subcontractors.

86
00:08:19,460 --> 00:08:25,130
So shout out to all of you who work and volunteer here, pouring your hearts into this amazing

87
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:25,770
community.

88
00:08:26,370 --> 00:08:31,650
Keep working hard on this issue and continue to think outside of the box, as we still need

89
00:08:31,650 --> 00:08:33,750
better cell phone service in West Roseville.

90
00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:40,310
I am truly awed and inspired by the personal and collective efforts on this issue.

91
00:08:40,390 --> 00:08:40,830
Thank you.

92
00:08:40,830 --> 00:08:50,210
Thank you for your comments Kate. Okay, next up is Ken Dell. Hello

93
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,480
council members. My name

94
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:05,480
is Ken Dell. I have lived in Roseville since 1998. So I have seen its growth and expansion.

95
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:11,100
And I understand that having strong leadership takes a lot of work.

96
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:19,380
So I find that measure A would be a good thing for city council members, and you guys deserve

97
00:09:19,380 --> 00:09:20,580
a pay raise.

98
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:29,980
A raise that goes from $600 to $2,550 is, I would want that raise too.

99
00:09:29,980 --> 00:09:31,340
However,

100
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,760
when you are enabling mass surveillance via flock or other ALPR

101
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:45,260
cameras, wanting a data center built and us residents have to cover the cost of

102
00:09:45,260 --> 00:09:50,560
resources being used, like water and electricity bills going up significantly,

103
00:09:52,640 --> 00:10:00,760
and ICE being in Roseville wreaking or will wreak havoc on our economy. Take

104
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:06,580
For example, denials, where I have talked to people that have been negatively impacted

105
00:10:06,580 --> 00:10:07,900
by ICE's presence.

106
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,320
The vendors that had been there for years are gone.

107
00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:18,600
They left out of fear of being detained and or being killed by ICE.

108
00:10:20,380 --> 00:10:26,020
This then impacts the surrounding businesses, which I've also talked to, and they can

109
00:10:26,020 --> 00:10:26,740
confirm it.

110
00:10:26,740 --> 00:10:35,620
it. It's a domino effect, a really bad one. People are already struggling just to get groceries.

111
00:10:36,660 --> 00:10:44,100
I know an extra $2,000 would be a blessing, but that's not the case, because that's what

112
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:46,900
you guys are asking for. Council members are asking for.

113
00:10:48,940 --> 00:10:51,660
So I would ask that you rethink

114
00:10:51,660 --> 00:11:00,260
your stance and your approach and understand that Flock, ICE and this data

115
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:09,060
center, they are bad for us on a social and economic level. Thank you. Thank you

116
00:11:09,060 --> 00:11:09,600
for your comments.

117
00:11:12,010 --> 00:11:16,070
Hey, Mark Hoffman. It's Mark there.

118
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,240
Good evening.

119
00:11:22,980 --> 00:11:24,640
I come as a

120
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:32,560
representative of Placer Repertory Theater. Placer Repertory Theater is Placer

121
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:41,520
County's only professional theater company. It's been in existence since 2018

122
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:57,060
18 prior to the COVID crisis. We provide theatrical experience for all communities within the Placer

123
00:11:57,060 --> 00:12:08,360
County region all the way up to the summit of the Sierras. We provide performances, public

124
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:16,340
performances for general audiences. We provide programs and shows for schools.

125
00:12:19,860 --> 00:12:26,120
There's a visual and performing arts program that we offer to schools.

126
00:12:26,860 --> 00:12:34,040
We are certified vendors for several of the school districts in the region.

127
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:45,340
Our season this year opens next month and we will be having performances here in Roseville and all the neighboring communities.

128
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:52,220
We have no permanent performance home venue.

129
00:12:52,220 --> 00:13:03,800
you, all our performances are done either from in rented spaces or spaces that are provided

130
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:10,560
by whoever contracts with us to perform shows for them.

131
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:22,320
We provide opportunities, it's an educational, there's an educational aspect to what we do,

132
00:13:22,580 --> 00:13:36,040
and we provide opportunities for aspiring professional actors and theatrical technicians to gain experience.

133
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:46,340
We are also open to, we are actively hoping to recruit to expand our board of directors

134
00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:56,680
and our advisory board and actively inviting people who would like to volunteer to be a

135
00:13:56,680 --> 00:14:11,640
part of the theatrical work, and gain training. So we're easy to find on Facebook, Placerrep,

136
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:19,800
also website, placerrep.org. Thank you. Thank you for your comments, and good luck with

137
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,280
your season.

138
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:26,040
Okay, next is Mary Steele.

139
00:14:35,540 --> 00:14:38,420
I'm Mary Steele. I'm President of the Midoo

140
00:14:38,420 --> 00:14:44,360
Neighborhood Association, and I have a letter of appreciation to the City

141
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:50,920
Council and to the Parks, Recreation and Libraries Department. On behalf of the

142
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,800
Roosevelt Coalition of Neighborhood Associations, Arcona, and the Midoo

143
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,380
Neighborhood Association, we want to recognize and present this letter of

144
00:14:58,380 --> 00:14:59,920
appreciation for this.

145
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,840
Street scape improvements, enhancing both sides of Rocky Ridge Drive between Professional

146
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:10,140
Drive and Mallard Lane, as well as on South Kirby Way between Rocky Ridge Drive and Old

147
00:15:10,140 --> 00:15:15,040
Auburn Road. These improvements form the perfect framework showcasing the inviting resources

148
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,140
of my new regional park and the surrounding community. These landscaping improvements

149
00:15:20,140 --> 00:15:25,420
reflect the commitment of the city and the community to fulfill the city's mission

150
00:15:25,420 --> 00:15:30,500
and vision statements and the joint purposes of Arcona and the subsidiary

151
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:34,600
Mydu Neighborhood Association. More specifically the city's mission to

152
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,060
provide exceptional services in a fiscally responsible manner that

153
00:15:38,060 --> 00:15:42,820
enhance the quality of life for its residents and city staff. These

154
00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:46,460
landscaping improvements blend a balance of optimizing the city's

155
00:15:46,460 --> 00:15:50,780
infrastructure to enhance land roads and regional and mighty regional park

156
00:15:50,780 --> 00:15:54,600
with its facilities while compensating, complimenting, sorry,

157
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,620
homes in the adjacent neighborhoods and contributing to a vibrant community.

158
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:06,300
Overall, these improvements provide a boost to maintaining the high quality of life we enjoy in the City of Roseville.

159
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,780
Your investment in our community is visible and appreciated.

160
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,480
And I want to thank Lance Hibbins for writing the letter.

161
00:16:15,540 --> 00:16:17,760
Who can I give this to? The City Clerk?

162
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,600
Thank you for your comments.

163
00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:24,540
Thank you so much.

164
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,220
Next up will be Clayton Straughn.

165
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,020
Hello, members of the council. My name is Clayton Straughn. I'm resident of

166
00:16:41,020 --> 00:16:46,620
Roseville District 2. I'm here also to talk about flock cameras and in response to the

167
00:16:46,620 --> 00:16:51,440
recent study published in Business Insider that more than 70% of the alerts sent to

168
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,560
were false positives. These false positives waste half time and can cause significant

169
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,560
financial and social consequences or even endanger the lives of people who are falsely accused

170
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:07,580
of car theft or another crime. The trade-off implicit in a flock contract is that we bear

171
00:17:07,580 --> 00:17:12,040
the high contract costs, the increased surveillance, potentially abusable data tracking in exchange

172
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:17,300
for better crime clearance stats, but this was not a great idea to begin with and now

173
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:21,340
Now it's clear that in addition to the known downsides, it actually just wastes time and

174
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:23,600
harm citizens in place of the supposed upside.

175
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,940
In that same article, Flock's security blamed the City of Roosevelt's installation intentionally

176
00:17:28,940 --> 00:17:34,080
chosen to follow our own privacy laws and policies for the shockingly high error rate,

177
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:37,460
which honestly I feel is very telling about the level of respect they give to the public

178
00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:38,980
servants who are working with them.

179
00:17:39,820 --> 00:17:41,680
I recommend cancelling the contract with Flock.

180
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:45,940
You would not be the first city to do so, in fact over 50 cities around the

181
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:47,840
have already ended their flock contracts

182
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,760
for a variety of security and abuse risks

183
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,200
and documented failures of the program.

184
00:17:52,420 --> 00:17:54,200
Most recently, Grass Valley directly to the north

185
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,700
just voted to end their contract

186
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:56,920
within the last couple of weeks.

187
00:17:58,660 --> 00:17:59,820
Even if you end it,

188
00:18:00,020 --> 00:18:01,840
there are some cities such as Dayton, Ohio

189
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,020
and Evanston, Illinois have identified that it was unclear

190
00:18:04,020 --> 00:18:05,640
whether flock actually even went

191
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,980
and commissioned the cameras,

192
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:09,220
or if they were still recording the network without permission.

193
00:18:10,020 --> 00:18:11,980
So they had to resort to blocking them

194
00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:13,320
by putting a trash bag over them.

195
00:18:13,820 --> 00:18:18,060
Another sign of the disrespect that this company has for the municipalities that are contracting

196
00:18:18,060 --> 00:18:18,580
its service.

197
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,880
So, and by extension, the citizens that they're surveilling.

198
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,820
We don't need to give them any more of our money to provide this subpar and dangerous

199
00:18:25,820 --> 00:18:26,200
service.

200
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:27,440
Thank you for your time.

201
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,300
Thank you for your comments.

202
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:31,760
Okay.

203
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:35,800
And the last card I have up here is Kim, think Brown?

204
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,160
Right.

205
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:37,580
Oh, right.

206
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:38,880
Come on up, Kim.

207
00:18:41,770 --> 00:18:42,710
My name is Kim.

208
00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:47,550
I am also a resident of the city of Roseville. I've grown up here. I've raised my daughter here. I love the city

209
00:18:47,550 --> 00:18:48,350
I love this community

210
00:18:49,070 --> 00:18:51,890
I'm here to speak about flock because after doing some research

211
00:18:52,790 --> 00:18:58,970
It's become alarming the information that I'm learning. I don't think ALPRs are a bad idea

212
00:18:58,970 --> 00:19:02,030
I think they're a good idea and they can be a useful tool for the police

213
00:19:02,030 --> 00:19:08,650
But what I am seeing right now in the terms and conditions of flock earlier this year they changed it to

214
00:19:08,650 --> 00:19:13,350
granting them exclusive rights to the data and information that they are

215
00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:18,590
collecting. That is a huge privacy and safety issue. It's a huge privacy and

216
00:19:18,590 --> 00:19:24,590
concern for all of us. If a private company worth billions of dollars whose

217
00:19:24,590 --> 00:19:29,610
main objective is to make money has access to our data and our private

218
00:19:29,610 --> 00:19:33,850
information. I'm asking you to please cancel this contract with Flock. It's

219
00:19:33,850 --> 00:19:38,290
no good for anyone. Flock has a history we've already talked about. They're

220
00:19:38,290 --> 00:19:44,370
accuracy and reliability rates and the dangers about that, but they have a history. They're

221
00:19:44,370 --> 00:19:49,270
not a company with integrity. They have a history of lying. They've lied about when

222
00:19:49,850 --> 00:19:54,270
cities and corporations have canceled their contracts. They've continued to stream. They've

223
00:19:54,270 --> 00:20:00,190
continued to collect that data. They lied to a police chief about when the police

224
00:20:00,190 --> 00:20:05,570
chief asked if it had heat mapping capabilities. They lied about the technological capabilities

225
00:20:05,570 --> 00:20:13,010
capabilities of their product. It does have mapping capabilities. That's predictive AI

226
00:20:13,010 --> 00:20:19,070
that can use patterns based on information gathered to find out where you'll go next,

227
00:20:19,330 --> 00:20:25,030
what you'll do next. That information in the hands of the wrong people is very dangerous.

228
00:20:25,150 --> 00:20:30,630
It could have catastrophic consequences for all of us, for our city across the nation.

229
00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:37,330
It is not safe to give a private company information that used to be exclusive to law enforcement

230
00:20:37,330 --> 00:20:43,770
agencies that used to be exclusive and required a warrant to access to a private company whose

231
00:20:43,770 --> 00:20:45,330
main objective is to make money.

232
00:20:45,650 --> 00:20:48,570
This is a dangerous situation I'm asking you for our privacy.

233
00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:51,390
Now that we know better, we need to do better.

234
00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:52,770
Information is coming to light.

235
00:20:52,890 --> 00:20:56,470
I'm asking you to please consider cancelling your contract with Flock.

236
00:20:56,670 --> 00:20:57,710
Thank you so much for your time.

237
00:20:57,710 --> 00:20:59,710
Thank you for your comments.

238
00:21:00,390 --> 00:21:01,710
Okay, I'm going to ask the city clerk.

239
00:21:01,890 --> 00:21:03,430
Did we have anybody on line?

240
00:21:04,050 --> 00:21:05,910
At this time, if any member of the public...

241
00:21:05,910 --> 00:21:07,510
Oh, we've got someone else here in the public.

242
00:21:07,810 --> 00:21:08,510
Did you want to...

243
00:21:08,510 --> 00:21:08,730
Okay.

244
00:21:09,910 --> 00:21:10,530
Go ahead.

245
00:21:10,770 --> 00:21:12,070
We'll take one more here.

246
00:21:12,630 --> 00:21:12,890
Okay.

247
00:21:13,030 --> 00:21:14,330
Hi, Jennifer Chapman.

248
00:21:14,450 --> 00:21:15,630
I'm a resident of Roseville,

249
00:21:15,630 --> 00:21:17,310
and I just had a few things.

250
00:21:17,850 --> 00:21:20,710
First, a big thank you for these concerts in the park.

251
00:21:20,850 --> 00:21:23,190
I had so much fun at Bee Gees Fever

252
00:21:23,670 --> 00:21:25,430
with all the hundreds of other people.

253
00:21:25,530 --> 00:21:26,270
It was really great.

254
00:21:26,270 --> 00:21:32,690
I want to also say, I was glad to see that there was some public restroom facilities at

255
00:21:32,690 --> 00:21:39,210
Eastwood Park along the multi-use trail, which I've been just walking with neighbors regularly

256
00:21:39,210 --> 00:21:43,130
and there's a lot of people out there and I thought it was very strategic that they

257
00:21:43,130 --> 00:21:49,830
had three portable restrooms and two of them were zip tied so that only one was available

258
00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:58,290
and it was obviously a strategy to be cost-effective with the pumping, cleaning sort of process.

259
00:21:58,610 --> 00:22:03,870
But I know that it sounds like the one that was created down at Riverside had, you know,

260
00:22:03,930 --> 00:22:09,470
issues with, you know, whatever people seeking shelter and using them maybe for other purposes

261
00:22:09,470 --> 00:22:14,350
and it had to be closed. But it's going to be very important to deal with human waste along

262
00:22:14,350 --> 00:22:16,430
along the trail and along the creek.

263
00:22:17,230 --> 00:22:21,850
I guess with that, I'll just also say just being out there more, there's, I saw a beautiful

264
00:22:21,850 --> 00:22:25,730
blue heron, there's, you know, incredible wildlife, but there's also non-natives.

265
00:22:26,330 --> 00:22:31,450
And one that really stood out, it looks like a wild forest of bamboo, but there's something

266
00:22:31,450 --> 00:22:36,490
called Arundo, it's a giant reed is the common name, and it's really a problem in

267
00:22:36,490 --> 00:22:40,950
the whole Sacramento River watershed, so just put that on radar.

268
00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:48,290
And then I just want to say I've been navigating roof replacement on a duplex with an adjacent

269
00:22:48,290 --> 00:22:49,970
owner that is not receptive.

270
00:22:50,550 --> 00:22:57,250
And I just want to say anything that the city can do in local ordinances to require

271
00:22:57,250 --> 00:23:06,630
future two-family unit dwellings to have separate roofs architecturally would be a

272
00:23:06,630 --> 00:23:07,470
really beautiful thing.

273
00:23:07,570 --> 00:23:08,990
It would just prevent a lot of conflict.

274
00:23:08,990 --> 00:23:14,010
I mean, there's going to be a shared wall, but you don't have to have a shared roof in the design.

275
00:23:14,250 --> 00:23:17,130
And then lastly, I just want to say El Nino is coming.

276
00:23:17,350 --> 00:23:21,090
We're all hearing a lot about this approaching storm season,

277
00:23:21,170 --> 00:23:28,030
and we just need to really step up the storm preparedness for everybody in messaging.

278
00:23:28,550 --> 00:23:34,030
And just there's so many property things related to gutters and all kinds of things.

279
00:23:34,030 --> 00:23:39,770
and I know it relates to the city's, you know, water management issues as well, so thank you.

280
00:23:40,570 --> 00:23:47,270
Thank you for your comments. Okay, now, is there any other here? Okay, we'll take, we'll take a

281
00:23:47,270 --> 00:23:49,830
couple more in here and then we're going to move to those that have been waiting online.

282
00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:55,410
Good evening and thank you for your time. My name is Stacy Frost. I am a member of,

283
00:23:55,610 --> 00:23:58,750
and the general secretary of the Rosal Tuesday night group of Alcoholics Anonymous

284
00:23:58,750 --> 00:24:05,150
at 315 Lincoln Street. Floyd B., who got sober on January 20th, 1945, started the

285
00:24:05,150 --> 00:24:10,890
Rosalind Tuesday night group on October 5th, 1945, at 307 Main Street. This made

286
00:24:10,890 --> 00:24:15,710
the fourth AA group in Northern California and Nevada. Once the group grew

287
00:24:15,710 --> 00:24:20,510
larger, Floyd B. moved it to 315 Lincoln Street, where it still holds 27

288
00:24:20,510 --> 00:24:24,970
meetings every week. 178 original members of the Rosalind Tuesday night group

289
00:24:24,970 --> 00:24:29,190
passed away sober and another 106 members have passed away sober since.

290
00:24:29,930 --> 00:24:35,510
There are currently 296 members that have more than one year sober and more than 50 members

291
00:24:35,510 --> 00:24:38,770
that have less than a year sober with more joining every day.

292
00:24:39,210 --> 00:24:43,750
We have several meetings that have up to 50 to 75 people in attendance.

293
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:48,970
Parking is already hard with the use of the lot across from the Opera House which

294
00:24:48,970 --> 00:24:50,430
has 55 parking spots.

295
00:24:50,430 --> 00:24:54,850
Without help without it there will be people that cannot attend meetings at

296
00:24:54,850 --> 00:24:58,570
the Roswell Tuesday night group. The program of Alcoholics Anonymous and the

297
00:24:58,570 --> 00:25:02,250
Roswell Tuesday night group doesn't just provide us with meetings it provides us

298
00:25:02,250 --> 00:25:07,170
with a sense of belonging and a place for fellowship. It saves lives and brings

299
00:25:07,170 --> 00:25:10,690
families back together. We ask that the City of Roosevelt please renew its

300
00:25:10,690 --> 00:25:13,610
lease with the parking lot so we can continue to save lives and help

301
00:25:13,610 --> 00:25:16,990
countless others to recover from the disease of alcohol. Thank you for

302
00:25:16,990 --> 00:25:25,470
time. Thank you for your comments. Okay, is any other, anybody else? Okay, we'll move to

303
00:25:25,470 --> 00:25:29,770
online. Okay, great. At this time, if any member of the public that's joining us remotely

304
00:25:29,770 --> 00:25:33,590
would like to make a comment on non-agenda items, please raise your hand.

305
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,620
Okay, we see

306
00:25:42,620 --> 00:25:47,500
none at this time, Mayor, so that concludes this portion of public comment. Okay, thank

307
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:51,700
you. Okay, we'll move to the consent calendar. I'm going to request that the clerk announce

308
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:53,940
their procedures for the consent calendar.

309
00:25:54,060 --> 00:25:55,220
Thank you so very much.

310
00:25:55,780 --> 00:25:58,440
So consent calendar items are considered routine in nature

311
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,220
and are approved on one motion of the city council.

312
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,940
An item may be pulled for further discussion

313
00:26:05,420 --> 00:26:06,920
from any member of the city council

314
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,580
or a member of the staff or the public.

315
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,060
At this time, no such requests have been made

316
00:26:12,060 --> 00:26:14,600
either by the city council members or staff.

317
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:17,100
At this time, is there any member in the public

318
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,260
that would like to pull an item from the consent calendar?

319
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:26,440
Okay, seeing none. Any member of the public joining us remotely? Would anyone

320
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:27,940
like to pull an item from consent?

321
00:26:32,940 --> 00:26:35,880
We see none. So at this time, the City

322
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,500
Council will consider consent calendar items 1 through 14. May I please have

323
00:26:40,500 --> 00:26:45,360
a motion to approve? So moved. Second. Thank you. We have a motion on the floor

324
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:48,700
with the second. We'll start our roll call with Council Member Mendenza. Yes.

325
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:52,740
Council Member Rucuti. Yes. And Vice Mayor Albert. Yes. Thank you.

326
00:26:55,450 --> 00:26:56,290
We will move

327
00:26:56,290 --> 00:26:59,750
And item number seven, we have staff to provide our presentation.

328
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,940
Item 15 on the agenda, if you're following along.

329
00:27:15,030 --> 00:27:18,530
Good evening, Vice Mayor and members of the City Council.

330
00:27:19,130 --> 00:27:23,230
My name is Jill Nunn and I'm your Director of Parks, Recreation and Libraries.

331
00:27:23,870 --> 00:27:29,030
Joining me tonight is Tara Gee, our Park Planning and Development Manager, and Narendra

332
00:27:29,030 --> 00:27:35,590
Sufi, our librarian who also sees, not only sees our libraries, but also our cultural

333
00:27:35,590 --> 00:27:36,990
arts program as well.

334
00:27:36,990 --> 00:27:43,710
So Tara is going to share a little bit about the Fitiment Homestead Vision Plan that we are asking you to approve tonight.

335
00:27:43,950 --> 00:27:45,250
So I'll turn it over to Tara.

336
00:27:45,790 --> 00:27:50,850
Thanks Jill. It's a pleasure to be here to present the vision plan to you.

337
00:27:51,990 --> 00:28:00,510
In 2023, the City Hire page in Turnbull to assist us in developing a vision plan for the Historic Fitiment Homestead.

338
00:28:00,510 --> 00:28:10,210
This picture shows Walter Fitiment standing in front of the Fitiment homestead with two dogs, and presumably two of his children.

339
00:28:10,610 --> 00:28:12,730
This is around 1890.

340
00:28:14,770 --> 00:28:26,370
This project is located on a .85 acre area and represents the last remaining elements of the Fitiment family's agricultural holdings.

341
00:28:26,370 --> 00:28:32,130
This location is off of Panther Place and across from West Park High School.

342
00:28:32,670 --> 00:28:39,390
This site is part of the pistachio regional park. Here's a brief chronology of

343
00:28:39,390 --> 00:28:48,770
the homestead. In 1856 the property was initially established. 1910 the second

344
00:28:48,770 --> 00:28:54,110
story was added. In 1948 the granary was converted to a

345
00:28:54,110 --> 00:29:01,930
turkey hatchery and in 1965 pistachio trees were planted. In 2002, the property was sold.

346
00:29:03,170 --> 00:29:10,290
In 2010, the property was placed on the National Register for Historic Places and the timeframe

347
00:29:10,690 --> 00:29:19,590
that is noted in the registers from 1879 to 1956. And in 2017, the property was deeded

348
00:29:19,590 --> 00:29:20,770
over to us by the city.

349
00:29:22,670 --> 00:29:26,350
In formulating or developing this vision plan,

350
00:29:26,570 --> 00:29:29,810
we had an extensive public outreach program.

351
00:29:30,670 --> 00:29:32,170
It was long and deliberate.

352
00:29:32,590 --> 00:29:36,590
So we started out with in August of 2024

353
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,050
where we held our first meeting with key stakeholders

354
00:29:40,050 --> 00:29:43,970
to brainstorm potential opportunities.

355
00:29:44,490 --> 00:29:47,090
And 17 people attended and they represented

356
00:29:47,090 --> 00:29:49,290
the Roseville Historical Society,

357
00:29:49,290 --> 00:29:53,850
the Roseville City School District, the Roseville Joint Union School District,

358
00:29:54,270 --> 00:29:58,790
Finnavitt Farm, Neighborhood Association, and Residence, and of course City staff.

359
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,480
In January of 2025, we held a virtual public meeting to introduce the project to the public,

360
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:12,900
provide background information, present goals and objectives for the plan, and relevant case

361
00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:20,880
studies. Attendees provided their thoughts and feedback. And in July of 2025, we held an in-person

362
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:29,540
meeting and shared concept ideas for two alternatives. And asked the attendee's to share their

363
00:30:29,540 --> 00:30:37,160
priorities through a dot exercise where they selected a number of preferences and also

364
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,780
indicated a number of preferences that they could not support.

365
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,480
So both in support of features and ideas that they didn't like.

366
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,820
In February of 26, we opened a two week writing period where we recorded the consultants

367
00:30:53,820 --> 00:31:00,800
review of the final draft plan and included a written transcript. We posted

368
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:07,880
that online and then asked residents to respond over a two-week period. And

369
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,660
through this we only received one comment and that comment was not relevant to

370
00:31:12,660 --> 00:31:18,880
the project. So to share what the vision plan shows I'm going to break it out

371
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,080
into outdoor spaces as well as indoor spaces.

372
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,360
So we'll start with the front lawn,

373
00:31:24,620 --> 00:31:26,360
which is more of a formal area.

374
00:31:27,020 --> 00:31:31,600
The front lawn area is proposed to be the area

375
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,120
that takes advantage of the facade of the building

376
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,020
and it would be because the facade is more stately.

377
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:41,460
So the activities that could occur there

378
00:31:41,460 --> 00:31:43,600
once renovated are family picnics,

379
00:31:43,780 --> 00:31:45,800
lawn games, weddings, wedding receptions

380
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,180
and events such as that.

381
00:31:48,180 --> 00:31:54,900
In the rear lawn it is combined with a patio area which I'll describe in a

382
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:59,940
minute the patio but the lawn space is near the rear and can accommodate active

383
00:31:59,940 --> 00:32:06,780
and passive uses. It's a flexible space to have both community events and

384
00:32:06,780 --> 00:32:12,740
private gatherings. And now for the patio this area provides paved surface

385
00:32:12,740 --> 00:32:18,040
for events and community programs. Private events can also occur such as

386
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:23,860
art and wine festivals, farmers markets, art shows, school tours, and more.

387
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:29,340
Included in the plan is a perimeter fence with gated pedestrian access points

388
00:32:29,340 --> 00:32:33,560
around the homestead property as well as connections to the larger

389
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,360
Pistachio Regional Park. It includes skates for vehicular access

390
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,060
for maintenance and for event setup and takedown.

391
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,180
These skates are intended to be locked and opened only when staff are

392
00:32:45,180 --> 00:32:53,440
present. Lastly, the parking. An initial area shown here to the right of the screen. The

393
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:59,040
future intentions are to expand the parking when additional phases of the larger park

394
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,220
are constructed.

395
00:33:02,460 --> 00:33:06,640
We have two exterior buildings associated with the homestead. The coolers

396
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,940
on the right of the slide and close to the house and the smokehouse is shown on the

397
00:33:11,940 --> 00:33:16,780
left is further away from the home. Both are proposed to be stabilized and

398
00:33:16,780 --> 00:33:21,860
potentially used for storage. There will be interpretive signs that describe the

399
00:33:21,860 --> 00:33:28,740
purpose of both buildings as they were used in the late 1880s and 1890s.

400
00:33:30,820 --> 00:33:31,300
I'm

401
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:35,740
moving on to the home itself. For the exterior, in order to open it to the

402
00:33:35,740 --> 00:33:39,860
public, we will need to make ADA improvements. While the house has been

403
00:33:39,860 --> 00:33:45,580
stabilized small work can be done to further stabilize it. Previous stabilization work

404
00:33:45,580 --> 00:33:51,920
included a new roof, the addition of downspouts, removal of dry rot, and new exterior paint.

405
00:33:52,620 --> 00:33:58,160
Other work to occur is to address the additional dry rot, address the windows and doors to

406
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:03,200
name just a few of those items. On the west side, new fabric canopies are proposed

407
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:08,880
and on the south side, new stairs and handrails are also proposed. For the interior,

408
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,200
where the first floor is proposed to be the main public area.

409
00:34:13,780 --> 00:34:16,640
The two largest rooms, if you can see it in green,

410
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,020
are the exhibit areas.

411
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,320
These same areas could also host smaller indoor gatherings

412
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,180
such as where the exhibits can move to the side.

413
00:34:28,380 --> 00:34:30,520
So during, when there's not a gathering,

414
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,260
the first floor will be filled with different exhibits.

415
00:34:34,260 --> 00:34:44,800
and the other gatherings could be part of either rental or class instructional or

416
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:50,800
any other kind of rental that people might be interested in. Also the existing

417
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,300
kitchen is proposed to become a small catering kitchen to support those small

418
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:59,940
events. The floor plan also accommodates a public reception area where

419
00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:06,220
staff can be during open office hour or open hours of the facility as well as

420
00:35:06,220 --> 00:35:13,020
restroom. The existing garage is also an opportunity for more activities. It's

421
00:35:13,020 --> 00:35:18,560
proposed to include public restrooms in the interior multi-use space which can

422
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:23,320
be used for classroom tours either for education or as a lunch area or both.

423
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:29,200
Perhaps a small gift shop or a meeting space can also be included. Also

424
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:35,560
proposed his large extended overhang which could extend seating opportunities outdoors

425
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:42,780
when the weather is appropriate. The second floor is proposed to be a back-of-house space

426
00:35:42,780 --> 00:35:49,680
for staff to store exhibits, prepare or assemble new exhibits, or prep an area for school tours.

427
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:56,380
A future potential could be that the second floor is an area for art exhibits. For this

428
00:35:56,380 --> 00:36:02,060
to happen, we would also need to add an elevator to ensure access for all since the art gallery

429
00:36:02,060 --> 00:36:04,340
would invite the public into that space.

430
00:36:06,930 --> 00:36:09,430
For interpretation, the home set is great place

431
00:36:09,430 --> 00:36:15,510
for education and interpretation. What better place to learn about the pioneer days of the 1800s?

432
00:36:16,090 --> 00:36:21,990
So in the landscape, interpretation can include interactive outdoor exhibits about agricultural

433
00:36:21,990 --> 00:36:26,950
natural history, natural ecology, and other interpretive signs.

434
00:36:28,010 --> 00:36:34,030
For this, we would need a more detailed interpretive plan, and that is recommended in the vision

435
00:36:34,030 --> 00:36:34,410
plan.

436
00:36:35,410 --> 00:36:40,750
For the main house interpretation, as I mentioned, permanent exhibits could be along the walls

437
00:36:40,750 --> 00:36:44,970
and movable exhibits in the center when there are no events.

438
00:36:45,810 --> 00:36:52,630
covered, suggested topics to be covered within the house are the arrival of pioneer families,

439
00:36:53,150 --> 00:36:59,450
putting down roots, home life in the 1800s, and information about food and agriculture.

440
00:37:01,450 --> 00:37:04,670
The vision plan also identifies potential phasing.

441
00:37:05,130 --> 00:37:09,390
Depending on funding, we could either combine phases or break them out even further.

442
00:37:09,930 --> 00:37:12,610
For example, phase 1A, phase 1B.

443
00:37:12,610 --> 00:37:18,790
For the bigger effort, these phases are outlined in the plan, and the first one is additional

444
00:37:18,790 --> 00:37:21,350
stabilization of the building.

445
00:37:22,350 --> 00:37:25,330
Phase two is the basic landscape cleanup.

446
00:37:25,930 --> 00:37:32,190
Phase three is front of house or the blue area shown here, which is, as I described

447
00:37:32,190 --> 00:37:37,350
that first effort, taking advantage of the estate facade.

448
00:37:38,190 --> 00:37:41,950
The phase four is the house rehab shown in purple.

449
00:37:42,490 --> 00:37:46,270
Phase five is the rear outdoor garden space in yellow.

450
00:37:46,770 --> 00:37:49,590
And then lastly, the garage in pink.

451
00:37:50,750 --> 00:37:53,330
This suggested phasing is strategic.

452
00:37:53,910 --> 00:37:55,610
By following the recommended phasing,

453
00:37:55,790 --> 00:38:00,690
we're able to use portions of the .85 acres sooner rather than later.

454
00:38:00,890 --> 00:38:04,010
So that, for example, if we focused on the front of house,

455
00:38:05,490 --> 00:38:11,410
activities and events rentals can occur there while more construction or

456
00:38:11,410 --> 00:38:17,170
rehabilitation occurs at the back of house. It also allows for access so that

457
00:38:17,170 --> 00:38:22,630
whatever we do first second or third is not impacted by the fourth fifth and

458
00:38:22,630 --> 00:38:25,890
sixth phases of construction.

459
00:38:30,220 --> 00:38:34,620
All right now about the money. Funding is

460
00:38:34,620 --> 00:38:44,580
estimated about 5, between 5 and 7 million in 2026 dollars. This amount will

461
00:38:44,580 --> 00:38:50,060
need to be advanced and consider inflation depending on how long it takes

462
00:38:50,060 --> 00:38:54,040
us to build the park for each you know each year it's going to cost us just a

463
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,680
little bit more and we should be considering 3 to 5 percent annual

464
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,980
inflation for every phase that we put off. For the stabilization work

465
00:39:03,980 --> 00:39:11,460
work previously done, we spent $350,000 in 2017. In the West Roosevelt specific plan,

466
00:39:11,860 --> 00:39:18,480
it only accounted for $250,000 of funding. And currently, there are no additional monies

467
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:24,600
allocated or funding sources for this plan. So the question is, why did we put so much

468
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:30,720
work into a vision plan? Well, seeking grants or holding fundraisers

469
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:34,920
donors will be necessary to make this vision plan a reality.

470
00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:39,740
And without a vision to share, we would not be able to apply for grants.

471
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,720
We would not be able to attract donors.

472
00:39:41,940 --> 00:39:47,560
We would not have a vision to share with any potential fundraising opportunities we might

473
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:47,940
have.

474
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:55,900
And so this vision plan incentivizes people to participate and help us build this vision

475
00:39:55,900 --> 00:40:00,040
and preserve the historic value of this site.

476
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,520
The vision plan was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation

477
00:40:04,980 --> 00:40:08,180
Commission at their May 4th meeting

478
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,640
where they recommended approval to the council.

479
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,660
So this concludes the presentation

480
00:40:14,660 --> 00:40:17,880
and we're all here available to answer any questions

481
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:18,600
you may have.

482
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:19,600
Thank you.

483
00:40:20,340 --> 00:40:21,720
Does the council have any questions?

484
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:27,180
only comment is that how you have it in different phases so that you can get

485
00:40:27,180 --> 00:40:31,780
something done maybe still you you know you utilize it and use it before you

486
00:40:31,780 --> 00:40:37,440
know finish the complete program I had a couple questions I love the aspect of the

487
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,580
mix use of the art alternative on the second level and then the opportunity

488
00:40:42,580 --> 00:40:48,720
to be able to have a variety of events inside and outside with big and

489
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:52,940
small events my question was and that slides out up anymore but I think it was

490
00:40:52,940 --> 00:40:58,200
a third or fourth one where you went into the parking to the right of the house I

491
00:40:58,900 --> 00:41:02,660
was trying to follow along I saw the parking I saw that would have been what

492
00:41:02,660 --> 00:41:06,480
the north there I think it's the next one

493
00:41:08,530 --> 00:41:11,790
whatever one had the gate that was

494
00:41:11,790 --> 00:41:16,490
open here we go so I see where we've got the parking to the side of the

495
00:41:16,490 --> 00:41:22,170
house but if there's going to be a catering or a prep kitchen along the

496
00:41:22,170 --> 00:41:28,190
back which you alluded to is there specific parking or an alley because if

497
00:41:28,190 --> 00:41:32,450
I'm looking at this right you've got parking on both sides with a with a lane

498
00:41:32,450 --> 00:41:38,170
like you would a regular you know parking spot in a you know retail shopping

499
00:41:38,170 --> 00:41:42,670
center but if a catering company is coming in how do they navigate to get

500
00:41:42,670 --> 00:41:47,090
to that back area are we you know you know that there was going to be gates that

501
00:41:47,090 --> 00:41:50,850
would be open only when staff is present is there a service gate for the service

502
00:41:50,850 --> 00:41:57,430
area of that house that's designated yes so you see two white squares and the

503
00:41:57,430 --> 00:42:04,030
one that is by the parking lot closest to the parking lot that's the garage and

504
00:42:04,030 --> 00:42:11,190
right above that you see a beige color so that's hard paving concrete

505
00:42:11,190 --> 00:42:17,630
probably and then again to the right is the parking lot and you see gray pathways

506
00:42:17,630 --> 00:42:24,210
so that gray leads right into the concrete path and then to the back of the

507
00:42:24,210 --> 00:42:29,210
house that the catering kitchen is part of the big house so that is a little

508
00:42:29,210 --> 00:42:33,870
further down so they would have to drive through the gate and down the path

509
00:42:33,870 --> 00:42:38,810
the beige pathway past the garage into the main house or to the back of the

510
00:42:38,810 --> 00:42:43,710
house and that's where the catering kitchen is. Okay which brings me to my next question and maybe

511
00:42:43,710 --> 00:42:50,150
it's not on here because it just is assumed but is that also towards the back area where the

512
00:42:50,150 --> 00:42:54,990
dumpsters will be for those events and just for the daily use? Well those are actually details

513
00:42:54,990 --> 00:43:00,570
we'll have to work out we haven't really this is the high level plan so we certainly to your

514
00:43:00,570 --> 00:43:06,910
point need to look and accommodate that so we'll have to strategically locate that and

515
00:43:06,910 --> 00:43:11,270
And then perhaps when there's an event we can move things closer and then move them out

516
00:43:11,270 --> 00:43:14,970
when we're not using or we don't have a high volume abuse.

517
00:43:16,910 --> 00:43:17,790
Okay, great.

518
00:43:18,050 --> 00:43:18,190
Thank you.

519
00:43:19,030 --> 00:43:19,490
Okay.

520
00:43:20,430 --> 00:43:24,650
As far as the parking, I didn't see where that is in the phase, so is that in an early

521
00:43:24,650 --> 00:43:25,050
phase?

522
00:43:25,610 --> 00:43:26,850
It would have to be, yes.

523
00:43:27,410 --> 00:43:27,650
Okay.

524
00:43:28,070 --> 00:43:28,630
And then grants.

525
00:43:29,150 --> 00:43:33,770
You addressed it a little bit, but do we anticipate that there's grant programs

526
00:43:33,770 --> 00:43:38,950
that we could help to bring in you know to help fund. Yeah there's state and

527
00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:43,110
federal grants that are related to historic preservation and those would

528
00:43:43,110 --> 00:43:48,110
be the ones that we would pursue. For example the construction of the mighty

529
00:43:48,110 --> 00:43:53,710
museum we had those types of grants that supported our construction of that

530
00:43:53,710 --> 00:43:59,310
museum so we would seek those types of grants for this. Great thanks that's

531
00:43:59,310 --> 00:44:05,070
actually a really good example, so thank you for that. Okay, with that, I'm going to open it up to

532
00:44:05,070 --> 00:44:08,310
public comment. Is there anybody that would like to comment on this agenda item?

533
00:44:11,210 --> 00:44:12,890
Not seeing anybody,

534
00:44:13,070 --> 00:44:18,170
we will close public comment. Oh, we will keep it open and ask if there's anyone online.

535
00:44:18,570 --> 00:44:22,290
Yes, at this time, if any member of the public that is joining remotely would like to make a

536
00:44:22,290 --> 00:44:24,970

557
00:46:36,580 --> 00:46:40,760

00:46:59,060 --> 00:47:00,340

584
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:35,580
applicants. It's nice to have people that step up and volunteer to serve. So we'll ask

585
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:43,180
the city manager or attorney, do you have any? I don't have anything. Thank you. Okay.

586
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:49,100
The reports. Thank you. Thank you. We'll move to council reports. And let's do we want

587
00:48:49,100 --> 00:48:55,480
to start? Oh, sure. I also was going to mention that and as the vice mayor mentioned

588
00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:00,540
And when we started our meeting that we had the passing of Peter Hill, he was a council

589
00:49:00,540 --> 00:49:01,520
member from Rockland.

590
00:49:01,820 --> 00:49:08,380
He was a council member who was on a six-term mayor of council, and he was on the council

591
00:49:08,380 --> 00:49:09,300
for 30 years.

592
00:49:09,900 --> 00:49:16,520
Very nice man, very loved his city, loved California, he loved all of everything.

593
00:49:17,020 --> 00:49:22,640
And a lot of things that you see in Rockland was because of his planning and his foresight

594
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:23,580
with his community.

595
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:30,280
and that was some mention about him some things that I've been on one is the

596
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:36,060
grants advisory commission meeting I think vice mayor Albert was with me and

597
00:49:36,060 --> 00:49:42,840
so was Bruce Halvershelt but we were able to see the people who were who were

598
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:48,840
chosen for grants for in here in in our region and there were 18 of them many

599
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:55,340
more applied but that's who was picked and so it was really exciting to see them

600
00:49:55,340 --> 00:50:00,340
and get their awards and also then they told us what they did for the community

601
00:50:00,340 --> 00:50:06,880
and that was just really fantastic and what you know how thoughtful they were

602
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:15,260
and what their you know plans that they did so that was really good and I was

603
00:50:15,260 --> 00:50:24,240
was on the PCWA Roseville Water Committee with Vice Mayor Albert, and that was a good

604
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:24,540
meeting.

605
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:31,180
As a matter of fact, I'm going to be on a meeting this Friday for our group, for our

606
00:50:31,180 --> 00:50:45,240
Water Committee, representing Roseville and PCWA for a sites reservoir, so it's a

607
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:51,840
It's been on the books for a long time, but you know, almost see the light that maybe it really could happen. So that's why we go

608
00:50:55,210 --> 00:51:01,410
No, no reports vice mayor. Thank you. Okay, so I will fill in I have some some we've been spending a lot of time together

609
00:51:01,410 --> 00:51:03,070
I think last couple of weeks calling

610
00:51:04,250 --> 00:51:09,270
The August 6th, I think I was the day after our last council meeting. We opened up winding Creek School

611
00:51:09,270 --> 00:51:15,930
I think no, I wasn't I thought you were there. Okay. I know a council member how to shell was out there with me

612
00:51:15,930 --> 00:51:20,370
and I think Mayor Berlusconi and it was just kind of fine because I know that

613
00:51:20,370 --> 00:51:25,030
neighborhood has been waiting for their school and it's always fun when we can be

614
00:51:25,030 --> 00:51:28,490
a part of celebrating with the school district and open up the school for the

615
00:51:28,490 --> 00:51:34,070
residents. And there was a Sun City, I know you were with me at that one. I was

616
00:51:34,070 --> 00:51:39,190
at the board, our mayor, I said a few words. They have their own governance

617
00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:45,430
board in Sun City and so we had the privilege of being a part of kind of

618
00:51:45,430 --> 00:51:50,110
honoring the outgoing board members and celebrating the new board members coming in.

619
00:51:50,530 --> 00:51:56,610
You mentioned the grants commission, I think there were 18 non-profits, more, you know,

620
00:51:56,690 --> 00:52:03,970
more non-profit work that could have been funded, but $279,000 from the Citizens Fund went

621
00:52:03,970 --> 00:52:07,430
out to help all that hard work that's making our community better.

622
00:52:07,590 --> 00:52:09,850
So it was fun to be there to celebrate with them.

623
00:52:09,850 --> 00:52:16,210
We had the Sierraview Country Club, so many of us, I think, have probably been at events

624
00:52:16,210 --> 00:52:18,450
or meetings over the years out at the Country Club.

625
00:52:19,070 --> 00:52:21,390
It's, was it 70, I think 70 years old?

626
00:52:21,710 --> 00:52:22,410
Is that what I remember?

627
00:52:22,430 --> 00:52:24,130
I think even older than that, yeah.

628
00:52:24,170 --> 00:52:24,810
Even older than that.

629
00:52:25,210 --> 00:52:30,130
But they just went through a pretty massive renovation and we had the opportunity to

630
00:52:30,130 --> 00:52:35,390
be out there and cut the ribbon and celebrate and I know it's exciting when we see investments

631
00:52:35,390 --> 00:52:38,670
in establishments like that in our community

632
00:52:38,670 --> 00:52:42,330
where we can gather and there's not often a lot of places

633
00:52:42,330 --> 00:52:44,910
that you can bring lots of people to events.

634
00:52:45,110 --> 00:52:47,190
So it's fun to see that they've been able to modernize

635
00:52:47,190 --> 00:52:49,030
and open up for the community.

636
00:52:49,850 --> 00:52:52,870
And then I serve on the placer air pollution control.

637
00:52:53,010 --> 00:52:54,790
So we did have, we've quarterly meetings.

638
00:52:54,970 --> 00:52:57,150
I did have that meeting that thing really knew

639
00:52:57,150 --> 00:53:00,450
to report there, but it's always interesting to see

640
00:53:00,450 --> 00:53:01,970
and hear kind of some of the issues

641
00:53:01,970 --> 00:53:06,730
that that the Commission looks at in terms of making sure that our air quality is

642
00:53:06,730 --> 00:53:11,570
is clean and tomorrow is a big day we have our State of the City where Mayor

643
00:53:11,570 --> 00:53:15,830
