they do 21 00:03:39,170 --> 00:03:47,060 have underlying medical conditions putting them at a high risk of serious 22 00:03:44,209 --> 00:03:52,730 medical issues or even death if they become infected with kovat 19 it is a 23 00:03:50,420 --> 00:04:03,230 requirement as part of the program to be at least age 65 and to have underlying 24 00:03:56,590 --> 00:04:07,730 medical conditions the project room key program provides a way for senior 25 00:04:05,630 --> 00:04:12,860 citizens who do not have a home to stay inside senior citizens who do not have a 26 00:04:10,430 --> 00:04:18,890 home to

county and motel 6 and we 32 00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:56,840 are not involved since we're not a party in negotiating that agreement the 33 00:04:55,010 --> 00:05:01,880 agreement between the county and motel 6 has not yet been signed by both of the 34 00:04:59,390 --> 00:05:06,130 parties as of yesterday according to what we're told by motel 6 35 00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:13,850 representatives Thank

this is in the county and in motel six but isn't this a 38 00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:32,040 mandated thing from the state also this is a program that has been authorized by 39 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:38,040 governors and urgency order under the California sorry 40 00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:47,520 the governor's executive order under the California Emergency Services Act and it 41 00:05:43,740 --> 00:05:58,190 has been held by several trial courts that cities do not have the legal 42 00:05:50,220 --> 00:06:04,320 authority to zone these kinds of uses okay we'll open up public comment do we

respond to public comment yes it is important to 60 00:07:19,770 --> 00:07:27,120 keep in mind tonight that we have public comment on the agenda but we do not have 61 00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:33,570 an

party to 69 00:08:16,470 --> 00:08:24,720 but the purpose is I think if someone was listening why are we even having a 70 00:08:21,750 --> 00:08:32,219 closed session we're having closed session to discuss the city's potential 71 00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:38,159 initiation of litigation in connection with the project room key program and 72 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:43,349 the legal risks of the the potential for litigation and to send to have the City 73 00:08:41,370 --> 00:08:56,100 Council direct staff on potential initiation of litigation thank you yes 74 00:08:52,740 --> 00:09:03,060 my name is Lisa Vermeulen and I live here in San Dimas I have been here since 75 00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:10,620 2005 and when I first heard about this project I was really kind of appalled 76 00:09:06,270 --> 00:09:16,800 and concerned at the same time my concerns are is well first of all with 77 00:09:14,339 --> 00:09:21,589 the area that it's added close to restaurants which means that there will 78 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:28,230 probably be a lot of homeless people panhandling asking for money I'm 79 00:09:24,540 --> 00:09:36,630 concerned also about possibly crime going up in San Dimas in this area and 80 00:09:32,420 --> 00:09:43,850 and possibly burglaries close to it being by the park and ride then 81 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:49,170 wandering around also too worried about its bringing down I mean how are we 82 00:09:47,070 --> 00:09:55,500 going to get them out of here once the ninety days is up are they really going 83 00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:59,460 to leave trying to get them out it's going to be responsible of cleaning up 84 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:03,270 the hotel room making sure everything is okay 85 00:10:00,270 --> 00:10:07,770 there's just a lot of concerns and I know that they need a place that they 86 00:10:04,980 --> 00:10:13,500 need to go with San Dimas is such a beautiful city and you take a lot of 87 00:10:10,770 --> 00:10:17,620 pride here all of us do and it's

[Music] 124 00:17:37,030 --> 00:17:40,289 [Music] 125 00:17:44,460 --> 00:17:47,630 [Music] 126 00:17:53,020 --> 00:18:08,920 [Music] reverse to strong opposition to project 127 00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:15,220 room key itself became aware of this I understand the attorneys explanation 128 00:18:11,620 --> 00:18:20,890 that the the two parties involved in off the county and representative hotel six 129 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:26,440 however here and again community outreach with with things that effective 130 00:18:24,610 --> 00:18:31,960 community of first potential crime property values and other concerns in 131 00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:38,230 the long team resident in this community are concerning that has been fulfilled 132 00:18:33,670 --> 00:18:42,130 woman Vienna and his Facebook indication I have to tell you I was doing a lot of 133 00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:47,050 dodging for dollars and state to friends and neighbor the lights all honest were 134 00:18:44,830 --> 00:18:52,060 unaware other than maybe with either a compliment or write in a Facebook post 135 00:18:49,210 --> 00:18:56,890 or next door and so where is the outreach airs and again especially 136 00:18:54,040 --> 00:19:01,210 during the Senate quarantine especially when people are limited to communication 137 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:05,130 something is significant and it's a business not a few months ago the 138 00:19:03,970 --> 00:19:11,579 council [Music] 139 00:19:17,410 --> 00:19:50,840 and already fallen reading the criteria it also said it would be no fast round 140 00:19:48,650 --> 00:19:55,790 for criterion check to verify or validate it's pretty much all so anybody 141 00:19:52,910 --> 00:19:59,510 who stated that they had an underlying medical condition regardless of age 142 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:03,950 would ultimately allows the stay there and then what is that our previous for 143 00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:07,790 adventures what is the facts somebody moves to another few days later 144 00:20:05,210 --> 00:20:16,670 positives were good 19 where do we go in this and then how is it that one becomes 145 00:20:12,970 --> 00:20:33,680 whatever to it as how do you get people to vacate after 90 days 21 22 nobody 146 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:39,890 knows at this point so many days is the fictitious number was no idea what could 147 00:20:37,220 --> 00:20:45,770 happen like aspect of all I'm very concerned also about talk about bringing 148 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:53,230 life back sense for community in the downtown area we are looking to bring 149 00:20:48,740 --> 00:20:53,230 work across and get people accident and 150 00:20:54,270 --> 00:21:00,200 [Music] 151 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:15,359 [Music] 152 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:29,650 [Music] physically mentally emotionally or 153 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:33,789 otherwise that is a concern that it's not an improvement or a contribution to 154 00:21:31,929 --> 00:21:45,340 the people who have chosen to live in this community pay taxes it's a concern 155 00:21:36,549 --> 00:21:51,850 about I'm sorry ma'am all right well I would if the council is not at liberty 156 00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:55,480 to discuss publicly this evening because of the closed session of potential 157 00:21:53,380 --> 00:22:00,549 litigation I would like to know if the council city attorney can do something 158 00:21:57,460 --> 00:22:05,380 to advise the people taking time to call in and communicate with you when in fact 159 00:22:02,770 --> 00:22:10,270 this can receive some additional public comment and interaction with the city 160 00:22:08,140 --> 00:22:14,049 council mayor themselves and even the city manager he chose to speak on this 161 00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:18,789 matter I thank you for your time no we thank you and as I understand that 162 00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:24,309 the city attorney will make an announcement after the city's study says 163 00:22:21,580 --> 00:22:30,610 closed session is over you have anything else you want to add I beg your pardon 164 00:22:28,150 --> 00:22:36,570 okay there's going to be an announcement by this city attorney after the closed 165 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:41,559 session yeah it'll be a public announcement 166 00:22:39,390 --> 00:22:46,740 thank you very much for calling in and we appreciate your time thank you thank 167 00:22:44,289 --> 00:22:46,740 you very much 168 00:22:53,179 --> 00:23:01,919 welcome to the San Dimas City Council meeting your life yeah thanks for taking 169 00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:07,679 my call I would echo a lot of the other concerns that that have been brought up 170 00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:13,140 here primarily I would comment that there has been little to no public 171 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:20,400 education or outreach revolving around this I lucked upon it based on a 172 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:24,600 Facebook post and you know fortunately I was able to then react and and reach out 173 00:23:23,130 --> 00:23:30,570 to as many friends and family as possible but I don't think a fraction of 174 00:23:27,779 --> 00:23:37,860 the the population of San Dimas is aware of this this process second I think that 175 00:23:35,340 --> 00:23:43,500 we're all kidding ourselves if you think that it's a 90 day hard statement and 176 00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:50,190 then we're just going to magically evaporate the participants in this 177 00:23:47,070 --> 00:23:56,960 program it never happens that way third I heard at this meeting you guys were 178 00:23:53,429 --> 00:24:05,880 explicit about it being age 65 and over criteria that's not how I read the 179 00:24:00,140 --> 00:24:10,679 program to be I heard 65 and or medical condition I would really appreciate it 180 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:15,809 you could clarify that in this meeting it doesn't have to be a back-and-forth 181 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:23,250 but if you are under the impression that is a hard 65 and over and medical then 182 00:24:20,940 --> 00:24:30,570 that is not my interpretation of this this program and third I just think that 183 00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:39,720 there are many different ways to handle this homeless epidemic that we're 184 00:24:33,929 --> 00:24:45,299 struggling on under this is not in my opinion an effective way to handle a 185 00:24:42,140 --> 00:24:51,870 macro problem like homelessness in California this is a band-aid a 186 00:24:48,299 --> 00:24:57,929 desperate attempt during pandemic times the takes advantage of chaos and slam 187 00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:03,120 this through under everybody's you know noses and I appreciate the opportunity 188 00:25:01,770 --> 00:25:08,550 to voice my the other day and and that'll be all I 189 00:25:05,430 --> 00:25:16,320 have to say thank you very much is it possible Jeff could you reiterate 190 00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:25,020 what the 65 and over is I'm gonna ask the city attorney to clear clear the 191 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:31,230 understanding of the ordinance that was based on my reading the county's program 192 00:25:27,780 --> 00:25:37,230 website but if you give me a few seconds I can take another look okay I think we 193 00:25:33,570 --> 00:25:52,800 have some other calls thank you sir you don't know I thanks for having our 194 00:25:50,910 --> 00:25:58,470 commentary tonight I just want to express my extreme discontent for LA 195 00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:03,360 County Supervisors who seem to want to scapegoat the problem of homelessness 196 00:25:59,820 --> 00:26:08,370 cities and really ship out the problem to communities that that problem 197 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:12,990 shouldn't be handed to I think the biggest issue is the Pandora's Box the 198 00:26:11,460 --> 00:26:16,920 problems that sometimes come with our homeless folks and it's not for lack of 199 00:26:15,510 --> 00:26:21,150 everything that I don't want them to have housing but it's to acknowledge 200 00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:25,500 that sticking them in a hotel without the number of services are probably 201 00:26:22,950 --> 00:26:32,730 required to keep these folks stable sober medically well etc is not going to 202 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:37,830 be it's not going to be adequate in a motel 6 much less than a community near 203 00:26:35,610 --> 00:26:42,270 shopping centers that are just barely trying to get back on their feet after a 204 00:26:39,420 --> 00:26:47,730 number of weeks of being forced to shut down you know I look forward to seeing 205 00:26:45,870 --> 00:26:52,380 y'all fight for our city and the wonderful law-abiding taxpaying citizens 206 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:56,400 who try to go to work every day to keep a humble home and a good future for 207 00:26:54,480 --> 00:27:01,530 their family and kids because we don't we don't have to put up with the stuff 208 00:26:59,309 --> 00:27:05,520 Dale Lake supervisors wanted you know the problems that they fail to address 209 00:27:03,870 --> 00:27:10,710 and want to ship out to communities that don't have the problems so you know with 210 00:27:08,570 --> 00:27:14,160 sincere respect I think you all for having our commentary today and please 211 00:27:12,270 --> 00:27:16,950 keep the citizens of San Dimas in your thoughts when you look forward to 212 00:27:15,630 --> 00:27:21,690 hopefully fighting this through litigation thank you all for 213 00:27:19,350 --> 00:27:27,059 your time this evening thank you thank you sir do you have anything else sad no 214 00:27:24,659 --> 00:27:35,370 no no thanks today thank you for a concern okay mayor I did take a look at 215 00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:44,059 the county's documentation again and I did I had misread and an or for an and 216 00:27:40,110 --> 00:27:55,559 so it's or it is either over 65 or having underlying medical conditions 217 00:27:46,500 --> 00:28:00,210 Thank You Shawn here good evening City Council and members of 218 00:27:57,809 --> 00:28:04,830 the audience I have reservations about project room key that is being 219 00:28:02,220 --> 00:28:10,110 considered in our city we should be good stewards to our neighborhood neighbors 220 00:28:06,990 --> 00:28:15,330 and kin but to the degree when that there are outside elements from across 221 00:28:12,179 --> 00:28:19,889 LA County who will be occupying the 118 rooms of motel 6 and won't be receiving 222 00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:26,100 background checks to ensure that these people aren't bad actors throughout the 223 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:29,820 homelessness crisis plaguing LA County and the rest of the state we've seen 224 00:28:28,139 --> 00:28:35,399 beforehand the result of the homeless population camped in San Dimas you see 225 00:28:33,389 --> 00:28:40,950 shopping carts around the city many encampments brought up and businesses 226 00:28:37,860 --> 00:28:45,029 and experienced break-ins and handlers and the trash leftover from the 227 00:28:42,659 --> 00:28:49,529 aftermath I'll be supposed to take at face value 228 00:28:46,019 --> 00:28:54,330 who the county will dump on us will our public see with our public safety and 229 00:28:51,950 --> 00:28:59,700 infrastructure at stake I can't support this as suggested by a comments or on 230 00:28:57,059 --> 00:29:04,350 councilman vienna's Facebook page why aren't the count County Supervisors 231 00:29:01,919 --> 00:29:08,700 leading by example well why aren't they leaving by example placing your 232 00:29:06,809 --> 00:29:12,389 neighborhood before considering dumping them into ours and with that I yield 233 00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:18,649 back the balance
