00:17:42,620 --> 00:17:43,340
You're up.

152
00:17:45,290 --> 00:17:46,270
Good evening Madam Mayor.

153
00:17:46,270 --> 00:17:47,410
Members City Council.

154
00:17:49,690 --> 00:17:57,070
We just passed our mid-year mark, and CD manager asked me to give you a mid-year budget

155
00:17:57,070 --> 00:17:58,210
actual update.

156
00:17:58,990 --> 00:18:05,530
I know everyone is anxious to hear how measure SCM impacted the city and its financial

157
00:18:05,530 --> 00:18:06,330
future.

158
00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:14,930
So, I want to keep this short, so I only have five slides, and the first slides has the list

159
00:18:14,930 --> 00:18:16,610
of items that I'm going to cover today.

160
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:20,400
the next slide.

161
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:22,920
Thank you.

162
00:18:33,670 --> 00:18:34,090
Not working.

163
00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:36,550
Okay.

164
00:18:38,850 --> 00:18:39,690
But, right.

165
00:18:40,350 --> 00:18:51,230
Before I dive into this, I just want to thank you in the city manager for your leadership and support to get the city to this point because it is quite unusual where we are today.

166
00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:58,230
And I just want to highlight just a few bullet point of things of how we work as a team and it was like clock work to get to where we are.

167
00:18:58,230 --> 00:19:02,030
So in June 11, you adopted the fiscal 25 budget.

168
00:19:02,990 --> 00:19:07,990
Two weeks later, we're busy working on possibly modernizing our business license ordinance.

169
00:19:08,830 --> 00:19:14,650
July 22nd, Councilman Delgado tells City Manager that the county is working on measuring,

170
00:19:14,830 --> 00:19:17,330
measure H might expire early.

171
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:20,110
The same day, we reached out to the special council.

172
00:19:22,050 --> 00:19:27,530
And then a few days after that, City finally reaches an agreement with its labor unions.

173
00:19:27,530 --> 00:19:33,590
few days after that, special council finishes drafting all the resolution ordinance required

174
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:36,710
to take this in front of the voters.

175
00:19:38,730 --> 00:19:41,130
On August 7, only six days after that city council

176
00:19:41,130 --> 00:19:46,910
held a special meeting and approved submitting a tax measure to the voters. And by September

177
00:19:46,910 --> 00:19:54,410
10, we incorporate all of the changes in our assumptions, all the results of the Union negotiations.

178
00:19:54,410 --> 00:19:58,690
And September 10th, you adopted an amended fiscal 25 budget.

179
00:19:59,730 --> 00:20:02,650
So what I'm comparing the actual against is the budget

180
00:20:02,650 --> 00:20:05,430
that you've been in on September 10th.

181
00:20:05,730 --> 00:20:06,350
So next slide, please.

182
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:14,940
So at six months, the general fund looks

183
00:20:14,940 --> 00:20:18,680
little short of the budget, but for this city,

184
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,640
a lot more revenues come in in the second half of the year.

185
00:20:22,140 --> 00:20:25,780
So when we forecast that out, we believe we're going to be ahead

186
00:20:25,780 --> 00:20:29,240
on the revenue side as well, the expenditure for the general fund.

187
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:33,520
For the special revenue fund, as I always say, it's a wash,

188
00:20:33,980 --> 00:20:36,640
because the revenue that comes in can only be spent

189
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,320
for its legal intended purpose, so it's usually a timing difference.

190
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:44,380
We expend funds first and we submit it to the grant

191
00:20:44,380 --> 00:20:48,000
towards reimbursement, so usually there's a lag in that,

192
00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:51,700
and that causes some timing difference in the numbers,

193
00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:54,580
But overall, it's always going to be a wash.

194
00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:59,500
Now, the next slide, the elated slide.

195
00:21:01,180 --> 00:21:03,920
So, with the passage of measure SEM,

196
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,200
it's going to kick in April first.

197
00:21:08,020 --> 00:21:11,880
We were assuming that we're going to get about 1.6 per year,

198
00:21:12,180 --> 00:21:16,780
so we only included additional 400 in the 25 actual.

199
00:21:16,780 --> 00:21:23,640
And going forward, we included a 1.6 million cell-use transaction tax.

200
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,140
And we escalated the revenue that 3% which is a little bit higher than the last

201
00:21:29,140 --> 00:21:30,920
escalation I showed you.

202
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:36,360
This is based on some of the assumptions I got from HDL and therefore cast the numbers.

203
00:21:37,260 --> 00:21:41,820
And the cost, we even always using 5% to be conservative.

204
00:21:42,340 --> 00:21:46,760
Now, when we do that, for the next five years, we actually have

205
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:54,940
balance budget. So this looks quite sustainable and healthy to me. If we live within our

206
00:21:54,940 --> 00:22:00,120
means, for example, if the revenues grows faster than 3% or if we live within our

207
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:06,180
means and keep our cost below 5%, this could continue for many more years depending on

208
00:22:06,180 --> 00:22:12,280
what happens in the future. At the moment, our reserve could go up as 100% in few years.

209
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,660
Next slide.

210
00:22:22,510 --> 00:22:23,350
The cache bound.

211
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,520
So we've been investing our cache.

212
00:22:31,450 --> 00:22:39,370
When we saw that key with inflation, the interest rate was rising, we joined camp and we started moving all the money in our

213
00:22:39,370 --> 00:22:47,410
life and so forth into camp to catch the way with the climbing interest rates. This is the cash we currently hold in these accounts.

214
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:59,850
And I kind of laid out what the average maturity is and in those kind of funds. And for fiscal 24, the city made a record of making interest income over 1.9 million.

215
00:22:59,850 --> 00:23:04,230
So I just want to share that. Next slide please.

216
00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:14,930
When René became the city manager, he wanted to put a lot of thought and time into preparing the budget correctly.

217
00:23:15,310 --> 00:23:20,850
So we actually started months early then usual. So usually now we start January 1st.

218
00:23:21,450 --> 00:23:29,730
And this is the budget calendar or how we go through four rounds of review and give the department opportunity to

219
00:23:30,510 --> 00:23:35,270
update their budget, have a meeting with city manager and back and forth and before we bring

220
00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:36,370
in front of city council.

221
00:23:37,810 --> 00:23:41,330
With that, if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

222
00:23:42,590 --> 00:23:43,370
Any questions?

223
00:23:44,690 --> 00:23:50,110
No questions, but congratulations, making sure that we're doing the right thing, so thank you

224
00:23:50,110 --> 00:23:51,490
very much to you and your staff.

225
00:23:51,870 --> 00:23:52,610
Thank you.

226
00:23:53,250 --> 00:23:53,390
Mr. Mayor.

227
00:23:54,050 --> 00:23:54,330
Mr. Mayor.

228
00:23:54,330 --> 00:23:57,230
Missami, thank you for providing this for us.

229
00:23:57,230 --> 00:23:58,050
I do have one question.

230
00:23:58,050 --> 00:24:02,470
I think it was last year that we did the budget that we were looking at a four-year forecast

231
00:24:02,470 --> 00:24:07,890
that was going to be under 50% of reserves so can you explain the difference that's how

232
00:24:07,890 --> 00:24:14,890
that's turned around and because now we're looking at the 95% or something like that.

233
00:24:15,230 --> 00:24:21,730
So both the June 11 and the September 10 presentation I made by 29 I was showing that the reserve

234
00:24:21,730 --> 00:24:28,230
will go down from like 80% down to 50% because as the general fund has a deficit, it starts

235
00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:32,030
small by starts growing and you start to eat into your reserve.

236
00:24:32,850 --> 00:24:38,850
Now technically you don't have an fiscal emergency until you don't have enough money to

237
00:24:38,850 --> 00:24:40,590
go on another fiscal year.

238
00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:47,070
So for this city, you actually have a fiscal and it will take many years when you have such

239
00:24:47,070 --> 00:24:53,490
high reserve because it may start out like 100,000 extra might be a few 100,000 but to actually

240
00:24:53,490 --> 00:25:01,760
use up the amount of fund balance you have, it will be much more than five years is my point

241
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:07,920
because we're starting out like at 92%. And we have a surplus of what's going to add

242
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:14,860
into that reserve and as you start, so you haven't even tapped in at 2029, so maybe 2030,

243
00:25:14,860 --> 00:25:21,740
31, as you start to tap in, you still have many years before you create a fiscal emergency for the city.

244
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,000
Right. So you have ample time to plan ahead and strategize in my mind.

245
00:25:26,540 --> 00:25:31,380
And this is not forecasting out any additional funds that might be coming in the future on top of what we have.

246
00:25:31,940 --> 00:25:37,520
We included what we know so far, but we did not include things like allocation.

247
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,460
We might get from the county pass measure A for homeless and everything like that.

248
00:25:41,860 --> 00:25:43,600
Okay. Okay. Thank you so much.

249
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,140
I'm sorry, I'm looking at your numbers here.

250
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,940
It is a little bit brighter, but still looking at the numbers here.

251
00:25:53,060 --> 00:25:55,400
There's 3.3 million six month variants.

252
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:57,720
Still has been a little bit of worry.

253
00:25:59,340 --> 00:26:02,500
There are a number of other things that potentially that we can look at.

254
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:05,880
And I think that all of us up here at one time are another discuss,

255
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:11,460
particularly with some type of utility users tax.

256
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,340
And I know, and again, very preliminary,

257
00:26:14,340 --> 00:26:16,240
But I know it's something that we have actually

258
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:22,840
I have considered here. I don't know if it's something that this body wants to move forward at a future date

259
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:23,920
But I think it's certainly

260
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:33,280
Something we need to look at consider whether it be a water gas electricity cell phone internet whatever it may be those were all different options and

261
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:42,040
That burden needs to be straight across the board for both businesses and for residents there. So and I know we've talked about that the other thing

262
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:48,560
that we have not taken into consideration here is with the cannabis

263
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,640
measure that also passed a number of years ago. Here it's been two years

264
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,320
actually going on three years now and the city we've stayed idle on that. We've

265
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,200
lost out on hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue if not millions of

266
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,680
dollars in revenue here and compare to some other cities. So this city really needs

267
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:14,040
take a hard look and trying to make that a priority. Again, that was approved by the voters.

268
00:27:14,540 --> 00:27:19,980
So we need to get in full gear. And that's certainly something that could help our

269
00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:25,340
coffers here as well. So, and again, those are two different things here that have not been

270
00:27:25,340 --> 00:27:28,320
considered here for a linear future here as well.

271
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,300
Is there a reason?

272
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:36,380
Well, I want to say thank you for your hard work and one thing that I like that you said

273
00:27:36,380 --> 00:27:41,660
you guys started early and you started building this and I like that the direction we're going

274
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:47,020
you know upward and you know I hope you guys continue that and like I said I 100% back you guys

275
00:27:47,020 --> 00:27:51,820
on whatever you do thank you sir. Thank you. All right well thank you for that report Miss Sony.

276
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,380
We'll be in forward we'll go ahead and oh and good chat to you and your team.

277
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:04,580
For B, San Guillermo Valley cashier program presentation by mobility development

278
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,680
I'm still sorry, I think it's a fancy word, Karsha.

279
00:28:16,990 --> 00:28:18,590
Can I get the slides?

280
00:28:19,030 --> 00:28:20,430
Okay, so I'm creating Randall.

281
00:28:20,450 --> 00:28:23,690
Thank you for having us and having us back to

282
00:28:23,690 --> 00:28:25,950
Sharon update on a program.

283
00:28:25,950 --> 00:28:27,350
And it was Waldobrecht, won't it?

284
00:28:27,850 --> 00:28:29,950
Program manager for MDL.

285
00:28:30,850 --> 00:28:32,250
I'm the CEO, by the way.

286
00:28:32,970 --> 00:28:34,550
So a little bit of background on us.

287
00:28:35,090 --> 00:28:39,330
So we've been doing this work for about 15, 16 years now.

288
00:28:39,330 --> 00:28:43,370
have been focused on exclusively electric cars since 2018.

289
00:28:44,550 --> 00:28:49,870
This is one of three programs that we're running in partnership with California

290
00:28:49,870 --> 00:28:54,010
Resources Board and with a bunch of local partners that we'll get to in a moment.

291
00:28:54,670 --> 00:28:58,610
I did want to jump right in and just talk about the pricing of the program because we're

292
00:28:58,610 --> 00:29:04,930
ready to launch and I know this was an issue that did come up in our last conversation.

293
00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:08,370
I believe our COO James Douglass was able to join.

294
00:29:09,910 --> 00:29:17,290
So just a refresher, car sharing is a little bit like car rental, but slightly more simplified.

295
00:29:17,550 --> 00:29:23,370
It's sort of like you can think of it as sort of self-serve, cars are available when you need it.

296
00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:31,790
And so the cars are all electric and accessible at either $24 a day or $22 a week.

297
00:29:31,790 --> 00:29:38,610
With that $20 one-time application fee, that just covers the cost of us running the motor vehicle record of the driver.

298
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:43,850
So we wanted to just reiterate that and we can kind of get back to some of the details on that in a minute.

299
00:29:44,530 --> 00:29:46,530
And also just to recognize some of our partners here.

300
00:29:47,470 --> 00:29:50,370
So the energy coalition is the lead on this project.

301
00:29:50,490 --> 00:29:53,890
They've kind of pulled the partners together, recruited us as the operator, again,

302
00:29:53,970 --> 00:29:59,970
where mobility development, active San Gabriel has been a key partner in the community and is going to be big.

303
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,100
Art of getting the outreach to the community to spread awareness about this program, and EVCS is the charging

304
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:10,140
vendor that they'll be the ones installing the infrastructure at the community center.

305
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,740
Our core mission is to sort of think through these programs and make sure that they're there

306
00:30:15,740 --> 00:30:19,080
for a long run that it's not just a two or a three year grant and then the program goes away

307
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:25,140
at the end of it, so that's what we spend a lot of our time focused on, and the programs that we run around the country

308
00:30:25,140 --> 00:30:26,820
They are all very similar to this.

309
00:30:27,940 --> 00:30:36,440
The cost of the program is really driven down as low as we can sustain for users with that contrast from car rental, right?

310
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,360
So we try to make these cars as accessible as we can to the community, but still keep the program running.

311
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,680
So if you differences between car rental and car share, again it's all about accessibility, right?

312
00:30:46,740 --> 00:30:47,940
We don't do any credit check.

313
00:30:48,500 --> 00:30:49,500
That's a big thing.

314
00:30:49,540 --> 00:30:51,140
You don't need a credit card to become a member.

315
00:30:51,140 --> 00:30:57,240
There's no deposit required to participate in the program, and insurance is included in the price.

316
00:30:57,340 --> 00:31:03,980
We know a lot of residents, particularly low-income residents have a lot of really struggle with getting insurance on their own vehicle.

317
00:31:04,740 --> 00:31:07,980
So these are all big factors and simplifying that price point.

318
00:31:08,660 --> 00:31:12,420
These cars are electric again, so charging is included also in the price.

319
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:20,620
So there's no need for the member to either fuel up if it were a gas car or even to figure out how to charge themselves.

320
00:31:20,620 --> 00:31:23,400
that's often kind of a barrier for members.

321
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,100
We do run on 24-7 bilingual call center.

322
00:31:28,580 --> 00:31:32,700
Oftentimes, members, a little bit struggling with a program

323
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:34,740
maybe the first or second time using the service.

324
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:37,640
Electric cars are often new to our users at the beginning.

325
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,120
A lot of questions in the front end, but again, it is self-service.

326
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,320
I'll go through some of that quickly.

327
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,480
But again, they're all electric cars.

328
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:53,160
We have both Hyundai, Cohnos, and, sorry, Chevy Bolton fleet, they're both about 200 putty

329
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,060
mile range car.

330
00:31:54,860 --> 00:32:00,580
So for most uses, the members are not going to need to fill up the charge car again.

331
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,020
But again, sometimes it does take a little bit of getting used to the car.

332
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:10,660
And just real quick to run through this, people use an app, so SGV car share either on

333
00:32:10,660 --> 00:32:13,800
the app store or Google Play is the app itself.

334
00:32:14,420 --> 00:32:19,840
They download that app, we run their driving record, and then that's their sort of ticket into the program, right?

335
00:32:20,620 --> 00:32:26,120
So they go on, they book it for the time they need, the day or the week, and then it self-service from there.

336
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:31,160
They go back to the community center, get the car, return it to the community center at the end of their trip.

337
00:32:32,180 --> 00:32:36,700
And I'll turn it over to a while, though, to talk a little bit about where folks are going to charge in the community and how we're going to spread the work.

338
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:42,680
Absolutely, so it is the member, the user who is using the vehicle responsibly to charge the vehicle.

339
00:32:43,340 --> 00:32:49,260
The vehicle does come equipped with a charge print card already accessible, so they can just take it to a nearby car.

340
00:32:49,260 --> 00:32:50,360
Can you speak into the mic?

341
00:32:50,860 --> 00:32:50,920
Absolutely.

342
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:58,460
So yeah, the member can take the actual vehicle already with the charge print card included to one of the chargers nearby,

343
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:04,960
which would help the member actually achieve a preferred drive time activity facility.

344
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,660
Members can use it at no charge.

345
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:08,360
That's something that we cover.

346
00:33:09,220 --> 00:33:12,580
And they can use it through the charge point card app.

347
00:33:12,860 --> 00:33:14,120
You can see all the locations.

348
00:33:14,980 --> 00:33:18,260
You can download it at the Google Play or Apple Store.

349
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,280
It is the membership responsibility to maintain.

350
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:22,940
I'll be the next slide.

351
00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:28,470
So it is the membership responsibility to maintain

352
00:33:28,470 --> 00:33:30,170
the value driver's license.

353
00:33:31,050 --> 00:33:33,570
Obviously we through our member of guidebook.

354
00:33:33,710 --> 00:33:34,830
In case there's an accident,

355
00:33:35,390 --> 00:33:36,690
immediately they have to call 911.

356
00:33:36,690 --> 00:33:42,530
one. After that, that's taking place and it can reach out to our member services. Any

357
00:33:42,530 --> 00:33:48,370
tolls in traffic tickets or responsible, you know, members are responsible for those. Always

358
00:33:48,370 --> 00:33:55,170
keep the cars above 20 percent. When you remember using these vehicles and only the end

359
00:33:55,170 --> 00:34:01,270
reservations must be taking place at the community center. So anything above that, you

360
00:34:01,270 --> 00:34:06,150
know, there will be some fees for that and obviously report all the damage. You can use that

361
00:34:06,150 --> 00:34:09,630
of the app you can take pictures of the vehicle, of the vehicle's damage, you can go ahead

362
00:34:09,630 --> 00:34:15,010
and report the actual damage to us and we can see that. And actually I will actually

363
00:34:15,010 --> 00:34:21,230
on Saturday I will be doing a soft launch here where I'm going to go ahead and educate people

364
00:34:21,230 --> 00:34:25,490
more on the program on demand with hands-on and showing some of the vehicle technology.

365
00:34:27,130 --> 00:34:27,950
Thank you.

366
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,760
Well, last thing I would add is we've been doing beta testing the last couple of weeks with active

367
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:40,700
San Gabriel has been great helping us kind of work out the King's to program and try it out and

368
00:34:40,700 --> 00:34:46,380
been able to use the vehicles that many of their outreach events. Any questions?

369
00:34:48,540 --> 00:34:55,440
Again, no questions, but I think there's a fantastic program. I'm really really looking forward to seeing it roll out and

370
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,420
benefit the community. Thank you.

371
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,240
Yeah, so this is a beta program. Are we the first city that you guys are going to be rolling out?

372
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:09,260
So this is one of three programs in Southern California, they are just being with the housing authority, the City of Los Angeles and the City of Riverside.

373
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,200
So as far as the car share program, this is the city of Southamun, this is the first.

374
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:22,960
This is going to be the first to roll out, and we also were able to working with the city of Elmonte to also secure a grant that will sort of extend the program.

375
00:35:23,460 --> 00:35:30,280
So you combine these two together, they'll be under the same brand, because oftentimes users, you know, they're not making a distinction between city lines.

376
00:35:30,820 --> 00:35:39,020
that'll add additional 20 vehicles to the fleet, so we think this will be probably the largest in the region in terms of our programs.

377
00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:45,200
Okay, and we've done the outreach for Southern Monty or our Monty to see what it's going to be.

378
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,940
How much use did you actually get from the program?

379
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:58,660
Sure, so I'm wondering if Actors and Gabriel wants to come up and say a little bit about this because we have a full outreach plan in place.

380
00:35:58,660 --> 00:36:10,200
But I do think just to give you a short answer, based on other programs we've run and based on the weekly rental, we think it's likely it'll get fully subscribed within a matter of weeks, maybe months.

381
00:36:13,940 --> 00:36:19,520
Good evening, Council members, and my name is Dale, and we have not done any outreach yet for this program.

382
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:31,220
But we are going to begin that, our marketing and outreach for the program includes outreach to the community, including testimonials, surveys, as well as some.

383
00:36:31,220 --> 00:36:34,940
right in drives with community members.

384
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:40,960
These will include focus groups at community centers such as schools, at the South-Amentic

385
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,500
Community Center as well.

386
00:36:43,540 --> 00:36:43,760
Okay.

387
00:36:44,020 --> 00:36:44,500
Thank you.

388
00:36:45,060 --> 00:36:45,680
Thank you.

389
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:46,880
Thank you.

390
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,080
Thank you.

391
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:52,360
Thank you for there was a number of questions you just answered and first and foremost the inclusion

392
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,880
of the insurance in the rental, I think that's a big one.

393
00:36:56,580 --> 00:36:59,420
And the liability of sum of the liability, hopefully nothing happens there.

394
00:36:59,420 --> 00:37:05,120
But the other thing was awesome, the charge card. So they could take it anywhere and you guys come for that class

395
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:05,840
So

396
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,860
Bravo to you guys for that. I'm really excited and looking forward to it and

397
00:37:10,660 --> 00:37:11,100
Again

398
00:37:11,980 --> 00:37:14,140
Seeing that demonstration over the outside or

399
00:37:14,140 --> 00:37:15,920
All right, thank you for your good

400
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:23,140
I was a don't council when this first came out. So I'm kind of new to this so I one of the questions is who keeps the car's clean

401
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,640
I think it's a little bit more of an idea.

402
00:37:27,980 --> 00:37:29,900
So I'm not responsible for the vehicle type.

403
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:39,780
Program managed to fleet making sure the cars are maintained, operational, the technologies work inefficiently, and that the app is running in the end users, you know, seamless, no issues.

404
00:37:40,140 --> 00:37:44,620
Is that daily or is it something that, yes, I'm out of choice daily. Yes.

405
00:37:45,460 --> 00:37:45,660
Okay.

406
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,520
And I come inspect them sometimes two, two times a week.

407
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:55,100
So is this like a pilot program or is it something we signed a contract with over so many years?

408
00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:57,980
So one of the things, it is, you could call it a pilot.

409
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,000
The state calls them a pilot, California Resources Board

410
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,260
is the funder for most of these programs.

411
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,580
And they provide the first three years of funding.

412
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,040
We're required to keep it running for a fourth year.

413
00:38:09,260 --> 00:38:11,840
Our model, though, is, you know, we've never seen a program

414
00:38:12,340 --> 00:38:13,740
dry up because of lack of funding.

415
00:38:13,740 --> 00:38:15,800
We stick with the programs for many years.

416
00:38:16,540 --> 00:38:20,240
So we would see this as, you know, five, five, ten years, sort of.

417
00:38:20,820 --> 00:38:24,760
So one last question, what type of residence are you trying to target?

418
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,260
Like, what do you think, who do you think would use this most?

419
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:30,820
Would it be seniors, would it be, you know,

420
00:38:30,940 --> 00:38:33,440
just somebody community back and forth, would it be?

421
00:38:34,220 --> 00:38:39,080
And, but I want to know your big and down the line,

422
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,740
like 1, 2, 3, who do you think would be using this?

423
00:38:41,740 --> 00:38:42,820
Are utilizing this service?

424
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,920
This is a little different than most of the programs we run

425
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,000
and that typically our programs are by the hour

426
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,440
and sometimes by the day.

427
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,960
So, our most heavily utilized programs

428
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,160
of the ones where they're only hourly rentals.

429
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,800
And so folks will use it to go grocery shopping, maybe a trip to doctors appointment or the

430
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:07,960
pharmacy, job interviews, child care, or family visits, you know, a lot of these short trips.

431
00:39:08,540 --> 00:39:12,760
When we make cars available longer like this, and you're not the only ones in the regions

432
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,820
that are focused on this, the housing authority in Los Angeles is also focused on longer

433
00:39:16,820 --> 00:39:17,440
term rentals.

434
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,420
We think we'll see different trip patterns, but it's a little bit newer to us.

435
00:39:21,420 --> 00:39:28,900
weekly. We're likely to see more job-related travel, right? If there's a kind of a 500-mile

436
00:39:28,900 --> 00:39:34,180
cap that tells you a lot about how people are going to kind of make it work for them. So we

437
00:39:34,180 --> 00:39:38,120
think we'll see a lot more commute trips in that timeframe, but we are making them available daily.

438
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,600
I do think to your point about cleaning that we're likely with this sort of pricing to see a lot

439
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,100
more weekly trips than daily.

440
00:39:48,490 --> 00:39:50,930
So yeah, that was one of my concerns who cleans it, but it wasn't

441
00:39:50,930 --> 00:39:54,830
first say who cleans it during the week or making sure they're clean. I'm talking about after each person

442
00:39:54,830 --> 00:39:59,730
use. If someone's using it, this someone actually come wipe it down with alcohol wipes and all that.

443
00:40:00,130 --> 00:40:03,910
Yes, so once the vehicle is officially used and the brought back then I go and inspect the

444
00:40:03,910 --> 00:40:10,110
car make sure the vehicle is ready for the next user. Got you. Okay. Cool. And then um.

445
00:40:10,730 --> 00:40:13,850
Yeah, you answered all the other questions, which was good. All the charging and stuff. I was like,

446
00:40:13,870 --> 00:40:17,130
what happens in the middle of the road? So you answered that. Thank you so much. Great

447
00:40:17,130 --> 00:40:20,690
presentation. Looking forward to working with you guys. Thank you. Thank you for your time.

448
00:40:21,410 --> 00:40:24,050
already moving on.

449
00:40:24,250 --> 00:40:26,950
Service Department report from the months of October, November, December.

450
00:40:31,820 --> 00:40:33,960
And before we get started, let's give our service a great weekend.

451
00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:35,020
I know they've been working hard.

452
00:40:37,130 --> 00:40:37,790
Thank you guys.

453
00:40:38,090 --> 00:40:38,170
Thank you.

454
00:40:39,690 --> 00:40:41,970
Good evening Madam Mayor and council.

455
00:40:42,310 --> 00:40:43,970
My name is Deputy Ares and I'm the presenting.

456
00:40:45,210 --> 00:40:48,970
Part one crime statistics from the months of October to December.

457
00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:50,810
So bear with me.

458
00:40:50,890 --> 00:40:54,010
It's going to be a lot of numbers and percentages, but

459
00:40:54,010 --> 00:40:55,130
get through this.

460
00:40:55,130 --> 00:41:06,430
So, for those that are not aware, our part-one crimes consists of homicide, rape, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, theft,

461
00:41:07,150 --> 00:41:17,450
ramp theft auto and arson. So, this is a bar graph from 2020 to 2024. When you look at the one and four

462
00:41:17,450 --> 00:41:27,750
changes we doing a good job like double digits on decrease in crime for almost every part one

463
00:41:27,750 --> 00:41:37,930
crime statistic we are 18% difference one year change and then the four year change under 2%

464
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:47,340
Next slide please. This is going to be a bar graph from 2020 to 2024. You can

465
00:41:47,340 --> 00:41:54,420
see in 2021 and 2022 were the highest peaks of crime that was committed and we've had a

466
00:41:54,420 --> 00:42:01,260
good downward trend from from 2021. Next slide please.

467
00:42:04,300 --> 00:42:09,040
This is a page regarding the

468
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:17,980
off the breakdown and arrest your date. In 2023, we arrested 834 individuals and then in

469
00:42:17,980 --> 00:42:27,740
2024, 845. It gives a breakdown for each month and for each specific part one crime statistic.

470
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:33,640
And again, overall, we are seeing a decrease in the numbers.

471
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,300
So that's going to be for October,

472
00:42:38,580 --> 00:42:41,280
And I'm just going to be for November.

473
00:42:46,490 --> 00:42:55,130
So again, one year change in November, we are under 19% and then the four year change, just

474
00:42:55,130 --> 00:43:01,250
a slight increase of 2%, but still overall with all the part one crime statistics.

475
00:43:02,190 --> 00:43:04,470
We are seeing downward trends.

476
00:43:07,510 --> 00:43:26,090
Next slide. Again, you see 22. We had 902 part 1 crime, or part 1 crimes, and then since then, we're almost 300 under the 222 stat.

477
00:43:31,750 --> 00:43:44,230
In 2023, we had from a new November, 925 arrests compared to 2024-896,

478
00:43:51,140 --> 00:43:52,560
and then we'll go for December.

479
00:43:57,730 --> 00:44:05,490
One year change in crime statistics, 18% under 18% for year over year, and then the four year change

480
00:44:05,490 --> 00:44:08,270
we are just slightly above 1%.

481
00:44:11,860 --> 00:44:13,340
Again, next slide please.

482
00:44:14,340 --> 00:44:16,640
In 2020, 2021, 2021, 2021,

483
00:44:17,020 --> 00:44:19,780
we're probably the highest peak years

484
00:44:19,780 --> 00:44:24,000
in crimes that we're committed in the city.

485
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,740
And then since then, it's been a consistent downward trend

486
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:32,960
from December 2020 to 2024, 2022 being the highest,

487
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:38,640
195 down to almost 300 less crime coming in 2024.

488
00:44:43,660 --> 00:44:45,880
Pretty similar. Rest, 2023. We had

489
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:51,780
991 in 2024. 961. Rest.

490
00:44:54,900 --> 00:44:58,640
And one thing I just really quickly want to point out. I know

491
00:44:58,640 --> 00:44:59,900
with burglars.

492
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:20,780
They kind of go and waves the one thing that we've been trying to pass along to the businesses and residents of the city, which benefits us tremendously, is having our alarm systems, current, and working properly, and then also having video surveillance cameras.

493
00:45:20,780 --> 00:45:35,300
So that way of crimes are committed, and they're reported, we know about it, and we can work with the video footage that they have to apprehend and arrest individuals who are committing the crimes.

494
00:45:37,620 --> 00:45:39,500
There's any questions. We have a take.

495
00:45:41,860 --> 00:45:51,120
Yeah, again, no questions, thank you very much for the report, but I do want to comment on the last few years, especially during the pandemic.

496
00:45:51,580 --> 00:45:55,380
You guys were up against some unsurmountable odds, a lot of obstacles.

497
00:45:56,140 --> 00:46:03,600
For some reason, the pandemic has demonstrated in year 21, 22, we just, everybody was just a little squirrely.

498
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:11,220
The majority of those issues were burglaries and deaths and and Jackie just mentioned a part of the problem was education

499
00:46:11,700 --> 00:46:14,700
a lot of the business owners didn't have cameras. They didn't have

500
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:22,160
All of these lights lights. They'd keep their you know some of the gates were unlocked and so you know

501
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,500
And we had a lot of people just roaming around and we you know

502
00:46:24,500 --> 00:46:28,900
You guys would report and we would say you know, hey hang in there hang in there just persevere

503
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:33,240
You know, stay stay on stay on top of things and things are starting to work out and then

504
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:40,340
we had a DA that just kept revolving, had a revolving door and it just made your job a lot tougher

505
00:46:40,340 --> 00:46:47,120
you to rest and then you'd see them again the next day. So things I have turned around,

506
00:46:47,380 --> 00:46:52,180
we now have a new DA which is going to make things a little easier. So thank you gentlemen for

507
00:46:52,180 --> 00:46:56,960
staying on top of things. Keep up the good work. Thanks, sir. And just to add on to that real quick

508
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:02,720
with all the community events that we do with the businesses and citizens of the community

509
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:10,200
outreach, we're always getting positive feedback when it comes to the cyber-fried presentation

510
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:18,720
that we put on or coffee with a cop or different kinds that we're meeting and going

511
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:25,600
out interacting with the community. That's extremely positive and only benefits both people

512
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:33,460
involved us and the businesses and residents, and then going with properties, which is something

513
00:47:33,460 --> 00:47:40,620
just past, I think we're going to see more of a decrease in the crimes being committed.

514
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:45,680
It's going to probably take a little bit of time just because last four years when we were

515
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:52,080
arrested as individuals, crimes were not being prosecuted. So with the new change in law, with

516
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:59,600
two prior drug conditions, or two prior thefts, they can be convicted of felonies. So that's going

517
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:05,020
to be a big change and a big plus for us and the residents and community of Southammonie,

518
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,720
but it's going to take a little bit of time just to kind of get that point.

519
00:48:09,820 --> 00:48:10,160
Don't forget

520
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:15,360
any word, watch. Yeah, exactly. It's work is. Thank you for being here. Thank you for the report.

521
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:23,660
Thank you all you guys, you know, for everything that you do is always, and it's a it's a

522
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,770
that these numbers are trending in in the right direction and

523
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,700
hopefully the change of DA is going to help it, you know, go even more in the right direction.

524
00:48:31,940 --> 00:48:33,400
So keep keep up the good work. Thanks guys.

525
00:48:33,540 --> 00:48:35,540
Sir, thank you.

526
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:37,620
Deputy Ares, one question.

527
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,520
Sir, October, November, December 2022.

528
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:43,580
There's a huge spike.

529
00:48:44,420 --> 00:48:44,880
2024.

530
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,820
What would you attribute that to?

531
00:48:47,820 --> 00:48:58,600
I think it's a lot of factors, I think, so I wasn't on the team during 2021, but I've

532
00:48:58,600 --> 00:48:59,500
expressed this before.

533
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:07,360
I think one of the big issues is the help that we're getting from city council with

534
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:08,460
crime prevention funds.

535
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:17,800
It's allowing us to do more operations, be more present out there in the streets, more interaction

536
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:24,600
with the community. And so with all that combined, I think that's where you've been able to see the numbers

537
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,280
down trend. If that's the case, we need to make a bigger investment.

538
00:49:31,100 --> 00:49:35,740
I generally mean that, you know, because that was a huge drop off in those particular months from

539
00:49:35,740 --> 00:49:42,680
2022 to 2024. So again, I think it's something that we need to consider here with this upcoming

540
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:46,760
fiscal year and where we're going to make that investment into public safety for residents and for

541
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,300
businesses. So again, thank you for your report. And again,

542
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,460
especially thank you to our team over there. So I'll definitely read

543
00:49:52,460 --> 00:49:56,380
Driggas out there. I'm just looking okay, man. I know those 12

544
00:49:56,380 --> 00:49:59,580
hour shifts are they're brutal. So again, hey, make sure you're

545
00:49:59,580 --> 00:50:02,560
spending that time with your families. Guys. Thank you. Thank you.

546
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,200
Surgees. I want to thank you guys for all your hard work. I was

547
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:11,000
services. I see you guys are, you know, patrolling and stuff like that.

548
00:50:12,540 --> 00:50:19,240
One is I'm going to ask make a request you know if you guys are ever doing reports and you want to park at the schools

549
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:26,080
as a school board well I former school board member we always encourage that we want that it's a deterrent and stuff and it keeps our kids safe

550
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:33,960
So if you ever have time and you just want to park someone and somewhere instead of a park you know a school parking lot would be awesome we encourage that

551
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,800
So I do have one question

552
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:40,480
Is there anything more the city could do to help you guys?

553
00:50:40,860 --> 00:50:45,300
Like if you had one wish on your wish list would there be something that we could do

554
00:50:45,300 --> 00:50:50,800
or we could consider in the next year how we can help you help us?

555
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:53,800
You know, it's all right.

556
00:50:54,780 --> 00:50:56,040
It's a team question.

557
00:50:56,300 --> 00:50:57,080
It's just a team question.

558
00:50:57,620 --> 00:50:58,120
It's just a team question.

559
00:50:58,380 --> 00:51:00,480
It's just a team question.

560
00:51:02,620 --> 00:51:03,800
Put a list together.

561
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:11,940
Yeah, no, and, you know, we back, we did compile a small list and we are thankful and very

562
00:51:11,940 --> 00:51:18,500
fortunate enough that lists, we're going to receive some of those items that we have in

563
00:51:18,500 --> 00:51:26,100
there, including chargers and different types of entry devices that help us with like

564
00:51:26,100 --> 00:51:32,160
gaining entry into doors or keeping doors unlocked if they are locked like permanent locking

565
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,660
mechanisms. So there are a few things that we've asked and we've

566
00:51:36,660 --> 00:51:41,100
we're going to be granted. So we are appreciative of that

567
00:51:41,100 --> 00:51:43,760
help in assistance. Well as much as you're there for us, we want to

568
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,000
be there for you. So thank you for your service and thank you for

569
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,800
all your work. Thank you sir. So again guys, thank you. I know I keep you busy

570
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,880
enough. We can these calls. But I want to say to each and every one of you

571
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:57,120
thank you. Our team is awesome. And they are spoiled. They have a list of

572
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:03,280
that a ram and shields and sprays and all kinds of stuff and they got it also so we're here to help you

573
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,100
just as much as you serve our community we want to serve you so thank you guys for all that you

574
00:52:07,100 --> 00:52:12,240
we appreciate you guys so thank you great presentation thank you

575
00:52:15,820 --> 00:52:20,780
all right moving on we have

576
00:52:26,670 --> 00:52:26,970
the

577
00:52:26,970 --> 00:52:27,330
Council.

578
00:52:30,210 --> 00:52:35,750
I will be presenting the months of October and November in December for both code and forth in the public safety.

579
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:43,600
The first slide there is for the month of October, as you can see, there is approximately 90 cases for the month of October.

580
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:49,940
With property maintenance and homelessness are some of the high priorities,

581
00:52:49,940 --> 00:52:55,880
issue that we had to deal with in October. Both October and November we had a large increase

582
00:52:55,880 --> 00:53:04,200
of flex increase of homeless coming into the city. A lot of its proactive approach and

583
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:09,160
offering resources through both Lakata and Lasa through these two these individuals

584
00:53:10,620 --> 00:53:14,580
throughout the city. Next slide.

585
00:53:17,350 --> 00:53:20,270
Parking enforcement citations issued for the month of October

586
00:53:22,750 --> 00:53:30,530
475, 180 of those are for street sweeping, as you can see our officers are busy patrolling

587
00:53:30,530 --> 00:53:35,830
monitoring the city, for not just for vehicles, parking on the sidewalks, parked on red

588
00:53:35,830 --> 00:53:43,390
curves, but also with no current registration or other tags to be on the street itself.

589
00:53:44,410 --> 00:53:46,290
Next slide please.

590
00:53:47,110 --> 00:53:47,910
It's a continuation.

591
00:53:48,410 --> 00:53:52,810
I've seen some of the violations that our public safety officers are enforcing on a daily basis.

592
00:53:54,730 --> 00:53:55,370
Next slide.

593
00:53:56,830 --> 00:53:58,210
This one is for the month of November.

594
00:53:58,450 --> 00:54:00,850
You're seeing the cases for November at 70.

595
00:54:01,770 --> 00:54:08,130
Once again property maintenance and homelessness are the homeless at 21 cases for the month.

596
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:11,200
Next slide please.

597
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:20,300
The party citations for the month of November, 574, as you can see, at this point we actually

598
00:54:20,300 --> 00:54:27,320
filled a vacant position in the evenings early morning for street sweeping, so there was

599
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:32,440
a number during training that there are 20 citations issued in the evening early morning,

600
00:54:33,300 --> 00:54:37,600
then during the day in the residential areas of 204 citations were issued.

601
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:39,920
Next slide please.

602
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:46,560
Once again, a continuation of violations that the officers are forcing on a daily basis.

603
00:54:47,940 --> 00:54:48,480
Next slide.

604
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:55,920
Month of December, 51 cases for the month of December, you can see there's a drop-off in the homeless.

605
00:54:56,700 --> 00:55:04,680
A lot of it is the individual's relocating back into the San Gabriel River and the Rihanna Watch.

606
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:15,940
We're assuming it's for better shelter from the weather as we know it's been very cold, especially in the evenings.

607
00:55:18,270 --> 00:55:26,150
Vehicle and traffic, incidences as you can see as our number one case that we dealt with in December.

608
00:55:26,330 --> 00:55:34,450
A lot of traffic collisions, a lot of inoperable vehicles, stone vehicles that were found and reported to the sheriff's department.

609
00:55:35,530 --> 00:55:42,770
Next up is now for the month of December we have approximately 1,120 citations that were issued.

610
00:55:43,450 --> 00:55:47,730
As you can see, there's a large drought, a large increase in our night as street sweep and enforcement.

611
00:55:48,670 --> 00:55:56,970
That went from 20 from the previous month to 340 in the early mornings and the residential is 315.

612
00:55:56,970 --> 00:56:09,150
Let me note that this is also with the city's suspension of street sweeping enforcement during the Christmas holiday and New Year holiday as well.

613
00:56:10,290 --> 00:56:10,970
Next slide please.

614
00:56:12,210 --> 00:56:23,090
Once again, a continuation of the different violations of our public safety officer in the forest along with individuals parking near handicapped access ramps.

615
00:56:23,090 --> 00:56:30,230
vehicles for sale on the street, vehicles parked opposite way in direction, expired registration

616
00:56:30,230 --> 00:56:30,930
and tags.

617
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,560
With that that concludes the presentation. If there's any questions, I can answer

618
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,260
them now.

619
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:46,000
All right. Well, once again, Officer Martinez, thank you very much for that report. My question

620
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:52,260
here is so we finally filled the night position and obviously made a big impact. Are we still

621
00:56:52,260 --> 00:56:54,280
short-handed, do we still have vacant positions?

622
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:59,540
As of right now, we have filled all the positions that we had vacant.

623
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:00,420
Okay.

624
00:57:01,220 --> 00:57:01,780
Thank you very much.

625
00:57:01,780 --> 00:57:02,680
That's the only question I have.

626
00:57:02,780 --> 00:57:03,440
Give it a good work.

627
00:57:03,540 --> 00:57:04,120
Thank you.

628
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:05,340
Thank you.

629
00:57:05,340 --> 00:57:06,100
Thank you.

630
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,380
I'm so Martinez for the report.

631
00:57:09,780 --> 00:57:10,580
I don't have any questions.

632
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:15,660
I want to see if we can code out to, if you're going down central, as soon as you pass

633
00:57:15,660 --> 00:57:17,700
over on the left side, there's graffiti.

634
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,940
I know it's on the inside of the building, but there's a black fence there and every

635
00:57:21,940 --> 00:57:26,120
you can drop out. You can see the whole wall is graffiti in the back so maybe we can contact that

636
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:30,220
business owner about you know possibly getting that painted or you know it's on the inside

637
00:57:30,220 --> 00:57:34,700
I know nothing nothing we can do about it but it is it's on the property and it's you could see it

638
00:57:34,700 --> 00:57:38,520
as soon as you're passing over a central on the left side

639
00:57:39,660 --> 00:57:45,080
Central and over just as soon as you pass right as it's like the second building on the left

640
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:50,520
you can see it right behind the gate right there. No problem. We had did have a large influx of graffiti

641
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:56,620
for December, which you'll probably see in the report of the January, it's almost on the daily basis.

642
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:57,960
A lot of gang related graffiti.

643
00:57:58,360 --> 00:57:58,560
Yeah.

644
00:57:58,700 --> 00:58:02,500
We're working with both property owners and then with our public work department,

645
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,920
assisting us to remove a lot of that stuff immediately.

646
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:06,640
Thank you.

647
00:58:06,860 --> 00:58:10,200
Other than that, I just want to give a shot to Officer Rodrigues and Petonus.

648
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:14,200
I mean, there's not a big that I go by, I see these guys out working in the city.

649
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,380
So I just want to want to give them a shot out.

650
00:58:17,580 --> 00:58:18,480
So thanks for the report.

651
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:18,960
Questions?

652
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,700
Thank you, Mr. McG it's Mr. ago.

653
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,260
Mr. Martinez, I wanted to see

654
00:58:23,260 --> 00:58:25,620
the interview on the back of Pastor Donner and

655
00:58:26,020 --> 00:58:26,780
Atelo's building.

656
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:28,280
There, they're at the Calgary

657
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:29,600
Chalper Church, so if we could

658
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:30,980
make sure that we have the property

659
00:58:30,980 --> 00:58:33,620
owners there, clean that up there.

660
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:34,980
I drive by their own a daily basis

661
00:58:34,980 --> 00:58:37,420
and it seems like every week, it

662
00:58:37,420 --> 00:58:38,540
just gets, it gets tagged.

663
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:39,620
So if we could just make sure we

664
00:58:39,620 --> 00:58:41,680
stay on top of the property owner

665
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,420
there to maintain that there.

666
00:58:43,500 --> 00:58:45,420
Again, with respect to Pastor,

667
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:47,480
on Atelo and his services again,

668
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,020
We want to have a nice clean building there for them.

669
00:58:50,620 --> 00:58:51,380
Thank you.

670
00:58:51,380 --> 00:58:51,920
Mr. Rodriguez.

671
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,380
I want to thank you for your hard work.

672
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,500
Just like I want to echo everyone else.

673
00:58:56,780 --> 00:59:01,560
And I do want to say thank you guys for always parking in front of the schools and help

674
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:02,840
you with the traffic and stuff.

675
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,360
And it's not even that you have to get off and out.

676
00:59:05,540 --> 00:59:11,540
It's just that your presence there changes people's directions and stuff like that in the

677
00:59:11,540 --> 00:59:12,060
positive way.

678
00:59:12,220 --> 00:59:13,100
So thank you for that.

679
00:59:13,100 --> 00:59:17,620
Yeah, so we found that that just the office to be in present even with the lights on

680
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:25,960
It keeps the the parents honest to slow them down our main our main focus is the security and the safety of the kids

681
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,600
You know the cross in the street no ones that are even inside the parking

682
00:59:30,220 --> 00:59:34,820
The parking lot itself, you know transitioning from vehicles into the school. So that's our main focus

683
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,780
Thank you, Jimmy, for all you do. I know I keep you busy to with a lot of calls

684
00:59:39,780 --> 00:59:42,760
So thank you to you and your team. I appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing

685
00:59:43,100 --> 00:59:43,820
Good job.

686
00:59:43,980 --> 00:59:45,520
Thank you.

687
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:46,600
All righty.

688
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:47,060
Moving on.

689
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:48,980
We got our presentation by Chris Knight.

690
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:50,160
Chief Executive Officer.

691
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:51,000
I want to assault the money.

692
00:59:51,180 --> 00:59:51,820
Chamberlain Commerce.

693
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:53,160
Quarter third and fourth.

694
00:59:54,300 --> 00:59:54,440
Dates.

695
00:59:55,020 --> 00:59:55,900
And you can see you there, Chris.

696
00:59:56,140 --> 00:59:56,260
Hi.

697
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:07,240
Well, good evening, may you almost answer the council. It's always a pleasure to be here and to update you on the

698
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:16,000
happenings of the South-Omania Monty Chamber of Commerce. So this is our slide. It's the South-Omania Chamber of Commerce, and it's the

699
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:23,380
quarter, third and fourth quarter, the 2024 updates, and your independent business and community advocate.

700
01:00:29,490 --> 01:00:36,470
If I squint, I forgot my glasses at home. I thought they were my purse. So membership statistics, investing in the

701
01:00:36,470 --> 01:00:43,770
Chamber gives your business credibility vis-à-vis ability and market ability.

702
01:00:44,510 --> 01:00:50,210
The Chamber was established to assist as 375 members with financial, marketing, and

703
01:00:50,210 --> 01:00:55,690
promotional matters through networking meetings, workshops, and special activities.

704
01:00:55,930 --> 01:00:59,070
A total membership is 375 at this time.

705
01:00:59,070 --> 01:01:06,550
There are 30 new members, 71 members are South Elmanyon businesses, 218 members are surrounding cities,

706
01:01:07,330 --> 01:01:12,270
three out of state members and 53 members are import export companies.

707
01:01:20,980 --> 01:01:21,840
Business assistance.

708
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:28,460
We advocate for and support economic development and community engagement between local officials, businesses,

709
01:01:28,740 --> 01:01:30,360
and community of South Elmanyon.

710
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:37,180
A system developing programs and services that focus on the needs of local businesses to

711
01:01:37,180 --> 01:01:41,980
encourage innovation and growth of small and large businesses.

712
01:01:42,740 --> 01:01:48,000
SBDC provides counseling and training to small businesses including working with SBA,

713
01:01:48,740 --> 01:01:56,120
pace, and VAC to develop and provide informational tools to support business startups, existing

714
01:01:56,120 --> 01:02:00,160
business expansion and women in business, one stop shop.

715
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:06,700
The goal of the chamber is providing education, advocacy, business development for business

716
01:02:06,700 --> 01:02:08,460
members and community involvement.

717
01:02:08,940 --> 01:02:15,180
We have partnered with Goodwill Industries MCI and San Diego Valley Economic Partnership for

718
01:02:15,180 --> 01:02:17,600
our concerns for company labor issues.

719
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:24,200
The American Job Center Network is part of a one stop system provides universal access to

720
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:32,240
integrated array of labor exchange services so that workers job seekers and employers can find

721
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,600
the services that they need.

722
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:40,560
The goal of the

723
01:02:43,220 --> 01:02:47,340
sign and stamp certificate of origins, members are entitled

724
01:02:47,340 --> 01:02:55,960
to five free certificate of origins. There is 673 COO sign and stamp from June through December

725
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:04,960
24. Sign and certified were 25 to 198 certificates a month and average value of a certificate

726
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:10,960
is between 35,250,000 person certificate. Nice revenue for the City of South

727
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,020
Elmani. Not too bad.

728
01:03:29,020 --> 01:03:34,600
These are some of our chamber sponsors and our partners. The

729
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:42,400
South Elmani, Elmani Chambers, success is made possibly possible by you and a remarkable and

730
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,040
committed group of business owners.

731
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:49,820
Company leaders, local government officials, nonprofit partners, our Chamber members,

732
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:53,580
our Chamber of Commerce, a neighboring Chamber of Commerce's, and volunteers.

733
01:03:54,180 --> 01:03:59,620
Without their belief and support to the Chamber, we could not supply the resources our

734
01:03:59,620 --> 01:04:02,100
companies need to grow and protect their businesses.

735
01:04:02,100 --> 01:04:03,200
task

736
01:04:12,190 --> 01:04:18,170
A, B, and G, the economic development business advisory council and legislative involvement.

737
01:04:34,060 --> 01:04:38,280
Work closely with local chambers, school districts, and to build relationships.

738
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:44,280
We have, we have here listed several events that have already happened.

739
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:49,280
The Pasadena City College leadership was, we are partners with.

740
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:54,200
They have a class of sign language, which is great for the community and for businesses.

741
01:04:54,200 --> 01:05:00,420
We also had a business summit at IKEA, it was in partnership with five of their chambers.

742
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:06,320
We had our multi-chamber mixer, which was a great event.

743
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:12,920
Again, it is a multi-chamber mixer, and we have our free lunch and learn committee event.

744
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:14,280
That is always free.

745
01:05:15,460 --> 01:05:18,000
You notice that there is a lot of partnership there.

746
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:28,920
And it's because when you do a multi-chamber mixer, you are interacting with other chambers, other areas, new prospects, and it's, and that's the idea of what we need to do.

747
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:48,120
Ask ANF economic business development and educational programs. Update business law and compliance.

748
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:56,620
Inplement laws and updates for 2024 was delivered by Crystal Haddad from Jackson and Lewis PC.

749
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:58,780
And that's really, really important.

750
01:05:59,020 --> 01:06:00,960
We are having another one at this time.

751
01:06:01,180 --> 01:06:03,040
I'm waiting for her to call back for her schedule.

752
01:06:03,940 --> 01:06:12,280
We had an ADA webinar compliance Americans with Disability Act State Disability Laws.

753
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,960
And our companies, I know I just said this last time,

754
01:06:15,500 --> 01:06:18,220
but I'm just updating Mr. Rodriguez.

755
01:06:18,860 --> 01:06:21,500
Our companies are being hit hard with ADA.

756
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,820
People just drive around and they just go ahead and assume

757
01:06:24,820 --> 01:06:26,340
they don't even have to be on the property.

758
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,920
They use Google to look it up and if they see it,

759
01:06:29,980 --> 01:06:31,100
then they're sued.

760
01:06:31,820 --> 01:06:34,380
And that's happened to several of our companies and most cities.

761
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,220
Not only ours, but also in other areas.

762
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:47,300
Our third one is the B-O-I-R, and I know it's what it is, it's a beneficial owner

763
01:06:47,300 --> 01:06:53,320
information report, it's called Bore, and it is a report submitted to the federal government

764
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:59,440
that provides information about a company's ownership and individual who control the business.

765
01:07:00,460 --> 01:07:05,560
There is an ongoing lawsuit in Alabama, Texas, and New York that has temporarily put

766
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:11,540
hold on this requirement. But it is unclear how long this hold will be will remain in effect.

767
01:07:12,500 --> 01:07:18,200
webinars are every Tuesday at 1 o'clock with the topics of deadlines for pair reports,

768
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:24,320
who needs to be on the report, what information needs to be on the port, they also will give you

769
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:29,980
further guidance to file the report. One of the most important things is the couple.

770
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:43,980
Companies need to meet the deadlines or file because if they don't, it's a $591 a day, not a month, a day. If it exceeds over $10,000, it is jail time for whoever owns that company.

771
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:51,220
So we're trying to get the word out again. There's Tuesdays webinars every Tuesday at 1 o'clock.

772
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:59,580
And the information is there if you would like to contact that person. They also are if you just want to be on their email.

773
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:07,060
So it's really important that we do get that word out, and also with the wildfires coming up, we need to prepare our

774
01:08:07,740 --> 01:08:11,700
companies for disasters, and that's what we are doing now as a KC team.

775
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:21,100
Task ANF is economic business development and educational programs.

776
01:08:24,740 --> 01:08:33,200
This last summer, the South Elmani and Monty Chamber partnered with the Sangue River Valley Economic Partnership for a new pilot program.

777
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:53,680
It's K-1 for Hill Consortium, Summer Intership Program, this program consists of high school students that entered career technical education support classes to develop business etiquette, computer, leadership skills, to gain a better knowledge of the business world.

778
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:59,020
And June, we welcomed Renaldo as a bastion to our office and the assisted we're needed,

779
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:04,320
which was great. I wish they were back. We wish then the best of luck on their journey

780
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:09,400
to a higher education. But I had spoke to Amy from San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership.

781
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:16,740
That internship is not in the city of South Elmani, which I think it should be.

782
01:09:17,260 --> 01:09:21,700
So when we can use our high school students and they can have those classes as well to understand

783
01:09:21,700 --> 01:09:22,140
business.

784
01:09:27,660 --> 01:09:33,330
It's the same flight. Thank you. It says by May or Gloria almost

785
01:09:33,330 --> 01:09:37,550
request, she wanted to provide the opportunity for all students in the city of

786
01:09:37,550 --> 01:09:41,830
South Elmani to be eligible for an academic scholarship through funding from

787
01:09:41,830 --> 01:09:47,450
state of the city. For example, in 2024 this goal was achieved by presenting

788
01:09:47,450 --> 01:09:52,190
62 academic scholarships were awarded to students from elementary

789
01:09:52,190 --> 01:09:58,310
middle school, high school in South Elmoney and total $29,000.

790
01:09:59,110 --> 01:10:02,950
And I'd like to thank Mayor Almost for her leadership in the Council for implementing

791
01:10:02,950 --> 01:10:04,030
these decisions.

792
01:10:10,700 --> 01:10:15,480
Ask A is the economic business development, the Los Angeles Food Bank Tour, development

793
01:10:15,480 --> 01:10:16,700
and maintain a relationship.

794
01:10:17,660 --> 01:10:23,580
It's to help foster a relationship with LA Food Bank and the city of South Elmoney's

795
01:10:23,580 --> 01:10:24,960
mayor and council members.

796
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:30,640
Learn what is driving core business and what new developments are happening at the L.A. Food Bank.

797
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:35,740
Development maintained open dialogue with upper management at L.A. Food Bank, including

798
01:10:35,740 --> 01:10:39,400
how the L.A. Food Bank could assist the city of South Elmani.

799
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:44,440
Tour were manufacturing facilities to gain a better understanding of the operation.

800
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:50,800
And at this time, if you notice the bottom right picture, those are all volunteers.

801
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:56,900
They have volunteer shifts, and especially now they need volunteers, they need monetary donations,

802
01:10:57,220 --> 01:11:01,940
they need food because they are handing out so much food to the victims from the wildfires.

803
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:06,320
So, if you know anybody that would like to volunteer or you yourself would like to volunteer,

804
01:11:06,340 --> 01:11:08,560
just go ahead and call LA Food Bank.

805
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,820
Ask A and F economic business development and educational program.

806
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:37,820
This, the pictures are from an event that we hosted for the Sheriff's Department and we spoke to them and wanted to raise money for them for either their canine unit or whatever they are in need of.

807
01:11:37,820 --> 01:11:47,000
And I'm proud to say from this event that a foundation was formed, and which is the

808
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:52,540
South-O-Money Elmoney Chamber sits on, and it's called the Temple Station Shares Outreach

809
01:11:52,540 --> 01:11:53,140
Foundation.

810
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:55,880
It serves the neighboring communities.

811
01:11:56,460 --> 01:12:02,420
They are having their first, yeah, Wednesday, February 19th at 630 at the Double Tree Hotel.

812
01:12:02,420 --> 01:12:16,360
If any of you would like to, on the diets, would like to join us in helping us have a successful fundraiser for our officers, I heard several of you up here saying that we can give more what we can do.

813
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:24,600
Because, like they mentioned, they need training, they need drones, they need different, you know, shields.

814
01:12:25,100 --> 01:12:30,020
I mean, anything that they, and that's all costly and we want to keep them safe because they keep us safe.

815
01:12:30,020 --> 01:12:37,620
And, you know, they can do their jobs so much better, but guys, I just want to thank you for your fine job.

816
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:48,780
So we're excited for that. I do have some paperwork to hand out after the presentation for you, but I'm really excited about about this foundation because it's going to benefit everybody.

817
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:53,940
So I'm looking forward to this, so I hope you are too.

818
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:13,400
Okay, this is our South Elmani business award in installation that took place on June 27th

819
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:18,680
at the Double Tree Hotel and this is where we presented awards to our businesses in South

820
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,540

We also had the installation of our new board members for our 2025 and 26th doing a great job

822
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:40,980
And it was a fun event, I know sometimes we do morning events and hopefully you'll be able to attend some of the events as well.

Oh no, that's okay, that's fine, that's fine.

01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:48,620
The publications that we have are town square publications, South

We coordinate the talents of local business and community-by-tracking basic issues and we stand

And like 17 are upcoming, there are subject to change. They have already changed due to wildfires.

877
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:24,320
We had to rearrange our events.

878
01:18:25,380 --> 01:18:28,980
So they are subject to change, but we wish for you to come on out.

879

884
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,860
with the member of the South Elmani Elmani Chamber of Commerce.

885
01:18:59,340 --> 01:18:59,760
Thank you.

886
01:19:00,380 --> 01:19:01,100
Great job, Chris.

887
01:19:01,500 --> 01:19:01,680
Thank you.

888
01:19:01,860 --> 01:19:02,820
Mr. Kosa?

889
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:03,440
Yeah.

890
01:19:04,100 --> 01:19:06,020
So thank you very much for your advocacy.

891
01:19:06,660 --> 01:19:10,900
I think the witnesses in South Elmani will definitely benefit from your efforts.

892
01:19:11,440 --> 01:19:16,120
But I also like that you are expanding the mission of your organization.

893
01:19:16,700 --> 01:19:17,820
You mentioned three things.

894
01:19:19,220 --> 01:19:23,280
One, you are creating fundraising for our Temple Unit.

895
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,160
our deputies in our temple station.

896
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:29,720
You also have established a relationship with the food bank.

897
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,640
I know that sometimes some of our residents are in need.

898
01:19:33,620 --> 01:19:36,360
And hopefully that'll really help relieve

899
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:37,800
some of those needs.

900
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:40,360
And thirdly, I really like the idea

901
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:45,680
that you have created this scholarship program

902
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:46,980
for some of our local students.

903
01:19:46,980 --> 01:19:49,640
And I know last year, we had a great number

904
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:52,500
of students that benefited from these scholarships.

905
01:19:52,500 --> 01:19:57,920
So can you tell me how many scholarships were given and what were the amounts to those scholarships?

906
01:19:59,220 --> 01:20:00,820
The amount given was

907
01:20:02,660 --> 01:20:05,060
it was $29,000 total.

908
01:20:06,440 --> 01:20:11,280
That was just for the high school. That was just for the high school. Probably over 34,000 then.

909
01:20:12,020 --> 01:20:15,520
So the scholarships were not just high school. They were also for some of the middle school children,

910
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,900
some of the rights, some of the local schools. This includes all the school districts

911
01:20:19,900 --> 01:20:21,420
within South Almani, right?

912
01:20:21,420 --> 01:20:23,760
So you have the Valendo, Almani, and the Mountain View School

913
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:24,140
districts.

914
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:28,160
So you pretty much covered a big portion of the community.

915
01:20:28,700 --> 01:20:31,880
So about $34,000, thank you very much.

916
01:20:31,980 --> 01:20:32,940
Appreciate that.

917
01:20:33,500 --> 01:20:34,000
You're welcome.

918
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,420
It's a pleasure to work with the mayor

919
01:20:36,420 --> 01:20:41,080
who is actually her idea, but the chamber had a big part

920
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,600
in kind of rolling that out to make

921
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:47,680
and facilitating and making sure that it was moving forward.

922
01:20:48,260 --> 01:20:48,680
Yes.

923
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:49,000
Thank you.

924
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:49,760
Thank you.

925
01:20:51,140 --> 01:20:53,980
Thank you, Madam Mayor Chris, I have a couple of questions for you.

926
01:20:54,020 --> 01:20:58,060
I'm not going to ask you some of the same questions I've asked in the past because I've

927
01:20:58,060 --> 01:21:01,620
gotten the same answer and I don't see any that reflected here and any of these slides.

928
01:21:02,540 --> 01:21:06,260
Aside from that, you have 19 slides on your report and I'm looking at them

929
01:21:06,260 --> 01:21:08,740
over half of them are copied and pasted from the last report.

930
01:21:09,140 --> 01:21:13,420
Correct, and the reason why for that is because Mr. Rodriguez is new.

931
01:21:13,780 --> 01:21:15,200
I should have said something.

932
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:16,880
I wanted to just update him.

933
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:24,820
Okay, thank you. So right now we have an invoice from you. How much are you looking to get paid out on that invoice?

934
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:34,880
Total for 3 and 4? Yes. $10,000. Okay, thank you. And that invoice is going to cover the last six months.

935
01:21:36,980 --> 01:21:42,300
According to your contract with you, we should be getting quarterly reports. So apparently there was a quarter

936
01:21:42,300 --> 01:21:44,680
that was missed, that you didn't come and give a presentation.

937
01:21:44,900 --> 01:21:48,120
And now we're following up for the two quarters.

938
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,180
A couple of things I want to point out here is,

939
01:21:53,020 --> 01:21:55,900
we have 2,000 businesses in the city of South Omone.

940
01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:00,680
You see, the chamber has served the city 400 in two years.

941
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,220
And in those 102 years, according to six months ago,

942
01:22:05,380 --> 01:22:09,900
you were able to get 87 businesses in the 102 years

943
01:22:09,900 --> 01:22:11,040
to join the chamber.

944
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:18,870
I wasn't here 100 and two years ago, but yeah, but in total. So the other thing that point that that point out to me is that

945
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:25,200
The new total number for the series out the money is 71, which means that you've lost

946
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:29,480
20% of self-domony businesses that have joined the chamber in the last six months

947
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:39,420
The number went from 87, the new number is 71. However, according to your slides as well, the surrounding cities,

948
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:53,620
number went from 163 to 218, 55 increase in surrounding cities. When you say that the report says that you've only gotten 30 new businesses to join the chamber in the last six months.

949
01:22:53,620 --> 01:22:56,760
So these numbers are all over the place.

950
01:22:56,820 --> 01:22:57,600
None of them makes sense.

951
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,820
I don't know how many we can actually look at.

952
01:23:00,300 --> 01:23:04,740
But that the big number is a 20% loss of businesses.

953
01:23:05,100 --> 01:23:08,980
And I know that, you know, my big thing has been growing,

954
01:23:09,620 --> 01:23:12,200
what are you going to do with the Chamber to grow the business

955
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:13,240
and to get more people?

956
01:23:13,460 --> 01:23:15,740
And you said, you're going to really look at that

957
01:23:15,740 --> 01:23:16,880
and do what you need to do.

958
01:23:17,180 --> 01:23:18,840
Not only do we not increase anything,

959
01:23:19,060 --> 01:23:22,160
we lost 17 in South Omaha, which is 20% of the total.

960
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:26,400
three businesses that left right across the street for me. I don't know if you're

961
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:29,880
where where that meant she's left. I don't know if you're where the clothing

962
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:34,780
the clothing place that left, the shoe pelluses now. There are several businesses

963
01:23:34,780 --> 01:23:41,060
that left, not due to my doing but maybe financially they're not being supported

964
01:23:41,060 --> 01:23:44,960
as well as they should be from the community. So there's a lot of factors that

965
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:50,100
go into that. Yeah, there are businesses that are going to leave in the

966
01:23:50,100 --> 01:23:57,600
is that you haven't brought one new business to the chamber and, you know, we brought 30 within

967
01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:58,260
the whole year.

968
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:02,280
Right, not to, I'm sorry, not to the city of South Elmoney, zero for the city of South Elmoney,

969
01:24:02,380 --> 01:24:03,560
17, 20%.

970
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:08,660
There's three new, there's three new import exports from South Elmoney.

971
01:24:08,700 --> 01:24:09,240
That's a problem.

972
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,040
So those are not reflected in the South Elmoney numbers then.

973
01:24:12,140 --> 01:24:13,640
No, they're import export.

974
01:24:14,180 --> 01:24:21,260
And then your slide two says 375 total, your slide three says 350 total. So I don't know what the

975
01:24:21,260 --> 01:24:28,300
discrepancy is on that one. The slide three, that part was supposed to be deleted because I updated it and

976
01:24:28,300 --> 01:24:37,880
slide two and I accidentally left it there and I called Adrian yesterday and asked him to delete that. So obviously it was already printed before it.

977
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:43,580
Okay, and we've had six months to get this presentation together as well. One ribbon cut in the last six months.

978
01:24:46,420 --> 01:24:52,600
I don't know, I'm seeing what you do is you do a lot of chamber activities, a lot of mixers,

979
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:57,740
I'm looking at what you've done as far as council meetings, attending our events, things like that.

980
01:24:58,540 --> 01:25:00,860
And the biggest question is that we're paying you for.

981
01:25:01,420 --> 01:25:07,200
So I really don't understand why we're giving the chamber of $20,000 a year.

982
01:25:08,180 --> 01:25:09,800
What are we paying you for?

983
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:16,320
I mean, what aside from your business, aside from your day-to-day stuff or your day-to-day

984
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:22,220
business that you do, what more are you doing for that 20,000, that you wouldn't be doing

985
01:25:22,220 --> 01:25:26,140
if you didn't get that money, because it seems like all these things you'd be doing anyways.

986
01:25:26,340 --> 01:25:37,300
You'd be doing mixers, you'd be coming to our events that we have and things like that.

987
01:25:37,300 --> 01:25:39,600
So I just don't get it.

988
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:45,940
Okay, well, number one, we wouldn't be sitting on a board to help the sheriff department,

989
01:25:46,380 --> 01:25:48,060
which takes care of South Elmani.

990
01:25:48,740 --> 01:25:51,720
From that event, that whole foundation was created.

991
01:25:52,700 --> 01:25:55,860
If that event didn't exist, that foundation wouldn't exist.

992
01:25:57,220 --> 01:25:59,820
So there's a lot that go into it.

993
01:25:59,960 --> 01:26:04,180
The board, did you know about the board so that you can go talk to your companies?

994
01:26:04,980 --> 01:26:09,180
No, I don't have you told us about that previously because you missed the last six months of being here.

995
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:12,840
No, I was here just three and four.

996
01:26:13,340 --> 01:26:17,460
I delivered one into the board just came about in December.

997
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:22,480
So that's a new, that's new to businesses.

998
01:26:24,440 --> 01:26:25,840
How much money do you get from the city of Amani?

999
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:28,380
I don't cater to the city of Amani.

1000
01:26:28,460 --> 01:26:29,420
Why is that?

1001
01:26:29,660 --> 01:26:31,580
Because we just didn't come to an agreement.

1002
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:32,220
Did you ever?

1003
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:33,320
Yes, we did.

1004
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:37,160
And what was the reason that that they decided not to work with the chamber anymore?

1005
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,080
It was a conflict of interest.

1006
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:41,460
There was a conflict.

1007
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:42,800
And what would that conflict be?

1008
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:44,100
I can't say.

1009
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:47,200
Probably I can, but not right now.

1010
01:26:48,580 --> 01:26:51,460
Do you have a copy of your invoice with you?

1011
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:53,280
I submitted it to Renee.

1012
01:26:53,380 --> 01:26:54,240
You don't have a copy.

1013
01:26:54,500 --> 01:26:55,380
I can check.

1014
01:27:33,900 --> 01:27:36,280
And I know with

1015
01:27:38,910 --> 01:27:39,950
your busy schedules,

1016
01:27:39,950 --> 01:27:46,070
Would you have the opportunity to have webinars for ADA and to help these businesses?

1017
01:27:47,630 --> 01:27:48,990
Have the relationship they have?

1018
01:27:49,270 --> 01:27:51,430
We're asking the questions right now, Chris. It's not a Q&A.

1019
01:27:54,850 --> 01:27:59,710
Well, I'm just asking. Yeah, I just have it. Okay, um, I have a copy.

1020
01:28:00,230 --> 01:28:03,230
I don't know if anybody else wants to look at a copy. Sure, you can you give everybody a copy.

1021
01:28:07,990 --> 01:28:11,050
Don't give out your original. Just they can make copies if they need them.

1022
01:28:40,850 --> 01:28:42,550
Are you done really? No. Okay.

1023
01:28:43,570 --> 01:28:46,630
So you have that current invoice in front of you now?

1024
01:28:46,770 --> 01:28:46,850
Yes.

1025
01:28:48,450 --> 01:28:50,230
I'm going to read something and I just want you to respond.

1026
01:28:50,370 --> 01:28:55,690
Well, the first thing I want to read is under your contract under Exhibit D Schedule Performance Number 2.

1027
01:28:55,890 --> 01:28:59,750
Consultants shall deliver the following tangible work products to the city by the following dates.

1028
01:29:00,530 --> 01:29:07,330
And then it says a quarterly report detailing all tasks accomplished during the quarter served on the city and conjunction with the invoice,

1029
01:29:07,690 --> 01:29:10,370
which we did not get because we're covering two now.

1030
01:29:10,370 --> 01:29:14,070
The other thing I want to read is Exhibit C, Schedule Compensation.

1031
01:29:14,330 --> 01:29:18,330
This is your Compensation Schedule Number 3 of Exhibit C.

1032
01:29:18,590 --> 01:29:24,090
The city will compensate consultant for their services performed upon submission of valid invoice.

1033
01:29:24,750 --> 01:29:29,630
Each invoice is to include line items for all work performed.

1034
01:29:30,150 --> 01:29:32,830
Can you read your line items that you have on your invoice?

1035
01:29:35,540 --> 01:29:36,260
I don't have any.

1036
01:29:37,460 --> 01:29:37,880
What does it say?

1037
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:43,980
Thank you for your continued support to the south. I'm on Yamani Chamber of Commerce and it says line. I don't know number one miscellaneous

1038
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:47,720
Because there's not there's not

1039
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:54,300
Okay, when I bill I've used chamber wear there's certain programs of certain titles underneath there

1040
01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:59,980
So any I'd have to I have to type it up. That's why when

1041
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:04,180
At invoice, it's invoiced in that manner. There's not one that says quarterly.

1042
01:30:05,660 --> 01:30:13,000
So does that mean that any invoice you've ever submitted to the city itself, a money has never had line items for all worked, performed as,

1043
01:30:14,180 --> 01:30:18,580
according to the contract exhibits, see, schedule of compensation that that's what you're supposed to be doing.

1044
01:30:19,420 --> 01:30:22,760
You never line item anything, any of the work.

1045
01:30:22,980 --> 01:30:24,000
No, but I could.

1046
01:30:28,850 --> 01:30:35,190
Okay, well, I mean, I think looking at 20% drop in six months is ridiculous.

1047
01:30:36,090 --> 01:30:40,030
I think it's embarrassment that the Chamber would come in here and provide this type of

1048
01:30:40,030 --> 01:30:41,530
report and want to be paid.

1049
01:30:41,530 --> 01:30:42,590
Do you want the truth?

1050
01:30:42,610 --> 01:30:43,550
Sir, do you want me to lie?

1051
01:30:43,650 --> 01:30:44,870
No, I'm not asking you questions, right?

1052
01:30:44,890 --> 01:30:45,370
I'm speaking.

1053
01:30:45,530 --> 01:30:50,730
No, but I'm just asking you, I mean, you're telling me something and it's kind of

1054
01:30:50,730 --> 01:30:54,930
deframing the Chamber as well as that and I don't appreciate that.

1055
01:30:54,930 --> 01:30:55,330
It's facts.

1056
01:30:55,330 --> 01:30:57,270
So I'm reading facts here, Chris.

1057
01:30:57,590 --> 01:31:02,330
Actually, to be able to take care of the chamber, then you should do your job.

1058
01:31:02,490 --> 01:31:03,470
I am doing my job.

1059
01:31:03,470 --> 01:31:05,930
That's why you lost 20% of businesses in the last six months.

1060
01:31:06,270 --> 01:31:06,990
How did somebody say this?

1061
01:31:06,990 --> 01:31:07,530
It was not a business.

1062
01:31:07,690 --> 01:31:10,670
What, really, just as a question, if you have a question, you asked your questions.

1063
01:31:11,530 --> 01:31:12,510
Well, I have statements.

1064
01:31:13,010 --> 01:31:14,030
I don't have, I don't have to ask questions.

1065
01:31:14,050 --> 01:31:14,730
I can have statements.

1066
01:31:14,810 --> 01:31:16,430
Just this in hand for a minute, little.

1067
01:31:16,690 --> 01:31:19,810
So yeah, 20% says a lot as far as businesses.

1068
01:31:20,070 --> 01:31:23,730
I mean, if you're a business owner, you're dropping out from the chamber because you don't

1069
01:31:23,730 --> 01:31:28,210
the value of the chamber, because when you look at your bottom line, you're going to look

1070
01:31:28,210 --> 01:31:32,670
and say, why am I paying this invoice? What am I getting out of it? That's why I'm not going

1071
01:31:32,670 --> 01:31:37,450
to ask you the question why they're dropping out, because I've asked you enough questions in

1072
01:31:37,450 --> 01:31:42,470
the past, and you're just giving me some plus answers, and none of it is reflected here. So

1073
01:31:42,470 --> 01:31:48,070
what I would like to do, I would like to direct staff to hold off on payment of this invoice

1074
01:31:48,070 --> 01:31:56,070
until we get an actual invoice that follows the schedule of your contract and at that point

1075
01:31:56,070 --> 01:32:00,970
I think we should look at the invoice and decide if this invoice should even be paid directly

1076
01:32:00,970 --> 01:32:03,550
depending upon what is listed.

1077
01:32:04,590 --> 01:32:10,990
The other thing I like to do is direct staff to look into other businesses or organizations

1078
01:32:10,990 --> 01:32:16,290
that can provide this service that the chamber does that actually want to come into the city

1079
01:32:16,290 --> 01:32:20,190
and help the 2,000 businesses that are not getting service.

1080
01:32:21,130 --> 01:32:23,070
So if we're going to give away $20,000,

1081
01:32:23,310 --> 01:32:25,170
we should give it away to a company that actually

1082
01:32:25,170 --> 01:32:28,510
wants to earn the money and do what they need to do

1083
01:32:28,510 --> 01:32:31,910
to provide the correct services for our businesses

1084
01:32:31,910 --> 01:32:32,630
and sell the money.

1085
01:32:32,750 --> 01:32:33,550
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

1086
01:32:34,090 --> 01:32:34,850
Mr. Delgado.

1087
01:32:35,670 --> 01:32:37,630
I had just one question.

1088
01:32:37,950 --> 01:32:40,930
I know that last year there was a scholarship money

1089
01:32:40,930 --> 01:32:41,570
that was raised.

1090
01:32:41,590 --> 01:32:43,250
What was a total amount that was raised?

1091
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:50,440
I want you to see 53,000. I'm not sure.

1092
01:32:50,620 --> 01:32:51,180
53,000?

1093
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:52,700
That's a guesstimation.

1094
01:32:54,770 --> 01:32:58,030
So out of the 53,000, 29,000 was given in scholarships?

1095
01:32:58,870 --> 01:33:00,110
No, just to self.

1096
01:33:01,010 --> 01:33:03,070
It's over 34,000, right?

1097
01:33:04,550 --> 01:33:05,770
Because that was sort of better.

1098
01:33:06,550 --> 01:33:09,470
Yeah, I'm just guessing.

1099
01:33:10,990 --> 01:33:13,510
But 29,000 was just for South Almani.

1100
01:33:14,210 --> 01:33:15,510
What happened to the other funds?

1101
01:33:22,030 --> 01:33:27,630
I'm asking Mrs. Knight here if she's the, again, the executive ear for the chamber of commerce.

1102
01:33:28,510 --> 01:33:30,230
So I wanted to what happened to the other funds.

1103
01:33:30,910 --> 01:33:36,270
Secondly, where were those checks made out to?

1104
01:33:36,630 --> 01:33:41,770
Was there a name, is there a foundation, a nonprofit that those checks were made out to?

1105
01:33:41,890 --> 01:33:44,310
It checks were deposited as citizens bank.

1106
01:33:44,850 --> 01:33:53,790
No, no, my question is, is there a nonprofit that that was, it's made up to the Chamber of Commerce State of the City?

1107
01:33:54,430 --> 01:33:56,170
Is the Chamber of Commerce a nonprofit?

1108
01:33:56,990 --> 01:34:00,690
Yes, it is. It's a 501 C6.

1109
01:34:00,950 --> 01:34:03,850
It's not a C3. It's a C6. There's a difference.

1110
01:34:07,570 --> 01:34:10,270
I have some serious concerns here right now.

1111
01:34:11,570 --> 01:34:17,280
with respects to. It's great that we gave a lot of that money away. That's perfectly fine.

1112
01:34:18,410 --> 01:34:27,050
Ms. Knight, you just said C6 that is not a designated certified nonprofit. You need to be a C3.

1113
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:34,750
I welcome the entire council of the mayor, even our legal council, take a look at that, because if people have contributed

1114
01:34:34,750 --> 01:34:43,190
under the guise that this money was given in the form of scholarships and somehow redirected

1115
01:34:43,190 --> 01:34:49,890
it in some other way. I'd like to ask our legal counsel to look at what options we have to

1116
01:34:49,890 --> 01:34:58,450
look and serve. What do you mean redirected in another way? Again. I'm asking you, there was only

1117
01:34:58,450 --> 01:35:01,050
$2,9,000 that was given to the City of South Omony.

1118
01:35:01,410 --> 01:35:02,770
For our high school.

1119
01:35:03,370 --> 01:35:04,970
$2,9,000 total, South Omony.

1120
01:35:05,850 --> 01:35:08,250
There was 53,000, so that leaves

1121
01:35:08,250 --> 01:35:10,530
a significant amount of money.

1122
01:35:11,090 --> 01:35:12,070
Where did that money go to?

1123
01:35:12,470 --> 01:35:17,050
Well, there's 17,000 in the bank.

1124
01:35:18,090 --> 01:35:22,430
There's a little over 16,000 or more that was put

1125
01:35:22,430 --> 01:35:23,910
for putting on the event.

1126
01:35:26,630 --> 01:35:29,650
Did the chamber receive any of those funds for

1127
01:35:29,650 --> 01:35:34,030
for to pay employee salary or benefits or anything?

1128
01:35:34,770 --> 01:35:38,170
No, for 2024? No. It did not.

1129
01:35:39,170 --> 01:35:41,450
You said those funds are sitting in Citizen Bank right now?

1130
01:35:41,650 --> 01:35:41,950
Yes.

1131
01:35:42,250 --> 01:35:44,510
Okay. Would we have access to that information?

1132
01:35:45,230 --> 01:35:46,270
Yes, they do.

1133
01:35:48,390 --> 01:35:50,910
You know, I have some serious concerns there.

1134
01:35:50,970 --> 01:35:54,510
With our upcoming State of the Union event.

1135
01:35:55,530 --> 01:36:01,010
Again, I have some serious concerns here with that funding there.

1136
01:36:02,950 --> 01:36:03,710
Mr. Regigus?

1137
01:36:05,130 --> 01:36:11,270
Well, you know what, I'm actually just going to not even pay back off of Mr. Barhorcus.

1138
01:36:11,790 --> 01:36:15,290
He said something in the contract, it said itemized, right?

1139
01:36:15,630 --> 01:36:19,930
And I'm going to bring up something that happened last meeting, and I'm sure Mr.

1140
01:36:19,930 --> 01:36:22,630
or Costa could attest to this.

1141
01:36:22,970 --> 01:36:27,410
He said, when money was given to these organizations,

1142
01:36:28,190 --> 01:36:32,790
he said, tell me exactly what they're going to be used for.

1143
01:36:32,930 --> 01:36:36,190
So he asked for an itemized thing for this money

1144
01:36:36,190 --> 01:36:37,930
to be spent with these organizations.

1145
01:36:39,390 --> 01:36:43,390
Now, if it's in your contract to itemize these things,

1146
01:36:43,710 --> 01:36:45,650
apparently that's what the contract states.

1147
01:36:45,650 --> 01:36:55,970
My question is, why hasn't that been done in the past years to where I'm not, I'm not

1148
01:36:55,970 --> 01:37:01,030
against giving the money or not giving the, I'm for, what does the contracts say and

1149
01:37:01,030 --> 01:37:05,790
are we following the contract? Because if we're giving out to other organizations that they

1150
01:37:05,790 --> 01:37:12,450
have to give us itemized things, I would expect your organization to do the same thing, that's,

1151
01:37:13,130 --> 01:37:21,030
when I took over, it was not itemized. So I don't have a problem itemized in

1152
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:25,280
it.

1153
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:29,960
So you could understand our apparently that's what the contract says and we're just

1154
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:56,580
Go in off the contrary. Like I said, I'm not trying to hold money for anyone or anything like that. What I'm trying to say is, can you get us the itemized and then we could go ahead and look at it and go ahead and pay the invoice. It's like me getting my car fixed and not them not writing one thing down. They just give me the bill. Of course, I'm going to ask what, what, what did you do to, to, to my car for me to pay that bill. That would be my analogy. So, I mean, that's all matter, mayor.

1155
01:37:57,300 --> 01:37:58,280
Thank you, gentlemen.

1156
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:07,200
Really Chris, I think you did a great presentation for all the stuff that you have done and added to what your thing is as kind of on the sense of one man show right now, one woman show.

1157
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:12,000
And I know you have the ability in you only do it by yourself right now.

1158
01:38:12,660 --> 01:38:15,660
So I commend you for that. That's a lot more for one person.

1159
01:38:16,860 --> 01:38:19,580
For clarification, there was a 501 3c3.

1160
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:24,700
It's to the educational foundation that Mr. Featings had originally started.

1161
01:38:25,940 --> 01:38:27,980
I'm going to have to stop you right there.

1162
01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:29,840
I sit on that foundation board.

1163
01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:30,700
Yeah, we know.

1164
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:32,920
So I'll continue.

1165
01:38:33,580 --> 01:38:38,120
And so what we did last year is we started the 501 educational foundation.

1166
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:39,840
501, C3.

1167
01:38:40,140 --> 01:38:41,920
So the money would go directly to the students.

1168
01:38:42,580 --> 01:38:44,180
They get a thousand dollars each.

1169
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:45,080
Each of the scholarships.

1170
01:38:45,420 --> 01:38:48,120
So they got $29,000 dollars.

1171
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:50,520
That was just for the Salta money high school.

1172
01:38:50,580 --> 01:38:52,320
They additional $2,000 for the banners.

1173
01:38:52,440 --> 01:38:53,540
They had graduation banners.

1174
01:38:53,540 --> 01:38:58,400
Each of the middle schools got a hundred dollars each ten of them, so that's another thousand

1175
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:00,060
dollars each school.

1176
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:05,420
And honestly, without the Chambers being able to do that with us, these kids would not get

1177
01:39:05,420 --> 01:39:06,340
that scholarship program.

1178
01:39:06,860 --> 01:39:07,840
So I thank you for commanding you.

1179
01:39:07,940 --> 01:39:09,620
I know it's a lot of work between the City of the City.

1180
01:39:09,820 --> 01:39:10,620
It doesn't just happen.

1181
01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:13,660
There's a lot of time into it that the Chambers does do.

1182
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:15,760
They reach out to different businesses and companies.

1183
01:39:16,300 --> 01:39:21,220
I invite every single one of you council members to participate as far as getting businesses

1184
01:39:21,220 --> 01:39:22,500
involved in the Chambers.

1185
01:39:22,500 --> 01:39:31,660
There's plenty of businesses that I have spoken to and say, are you a chamber member and many times they say, oh, no, and they say, well, they came by and left me a folder, but you know, I don't know.

1186
01:39:31,820 --> 01:39:42,460
And then I explain the value of it. So it's each and every one of us, not just the chamber to go out there to 2,000 businesses or 10,000 businesses and say, hey, be a chamber member. It's our job, too.

1187
01:39:42,460 --> 01:39:45,760
And you get to remember our job is to allow Sultan money to thrive.

1188
01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:47,420
That's what they vote us in for.

1189
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,580
So we want to make sure we thrive, however you can.

1190
01:39:50,940 --> 01:39:52,980
And I know Rudy, you've asked many times over,

1191
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:55,600
is, well, who's job is it?

1192
01:39:55,620 --> 01:39:57,220
It's your job. It's my job.

1193
01:39:57,560 --> 01:39:59,380
All of our jobs. Larry, many, we hector.

1194
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:05,100
It's all of our jobs to make sure that we participate in whatever's going to value our city.

1195
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:06,240
That's our job.

1196
01:40:06,380 --> 01:40:07,620
That's the title we carry.

1197
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:09,500
That's the work we put in as well.

1198
01:40:09,500 --> 01:40:18,800
And we can't say, oh, well, we're paying her $10,000 or $20,000, we're paying $20,000 and for clarification annually, and annually is, yes, I'm going to be reporting.

1199
01:40:19,440 --> 01:40:26,640
Your reporting just started what I think a year ago, and then Ken left, and so he was the CEO. She is now doing it.

1200
01:40:26,980 --> 01:40:35,140
I think she's done a tremendous job. We never had all these reports before. However, so for this to be coming up and saying, hey, this is what we're doing. I think it's commendable.

1201
01:40:35,140 --> 01:40:43,020
You have done a tremendous job and so much and honestly I would invite every one of you to participate in the chambers and see how much

1202
01:40:43,020 --> 01:40:48,460
They do how much networking is out there. How much they're doing for the businesses and all businesses getting invited

1203
01:40:48,460 --> 01:40:52,320
It's not just the members all businesses getting invited. Now whether they choose to go or participate

1204
01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:54,760
That's on them, but all of them are invited

1205
01:40:55,340 --> 01:40:58,960
So if you have a better connection to knowing how to reach out to 10,000 businesses

1206
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:02,040
I invite you to do so. I think that's a great idea to say hey

1207
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:05,860
I know they were starting up Asian program tutors start to get the Asian businesses.

1208
01:41:06,540 --> 01:41:12,840
We all know how many of the businesses are cultural here and to reach them is very difficult.

1209
01:41:13,980 --> 01:41:20,800
But we do also have where she's reached out all of branched to the community and got some of those businesses involved.

1210
01:41:21,700 --> 01:41:27,800
And it's kind of funny. It's like a rolling rock. You get one and you start rolling down. They all start coming in.

1211
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:31,840
little by little. So that's, I think, how she gathered the next 30 in the last couple of months.

1212
01:41:32,860 --> 01:41:37,660
So for one person to do all the work she does, I highly commend you. And for those of you

1213
01:41:37,660 --> 01:41:42,460
who you don't know, she hasn't been paid since she's taken this position. They have lower

1214
01:41:42,460 --> 01:41:48,300
her pay and not because she's not doing things, she has added so much more. It's like adding

1215
01:41:48,300 --> 01:41:53,080
more sauce to the beef. She has added so much sauce to what she's doing. But if you're not

1216
01:41:53,080 --> 01:41:57,540
involved, you don't know, you don't see a firsthand all the work that goes into it. So again,

1217
01:41:57,540 --> 01:42:02,860
I see a lot of work being put into this, and for what you have done and accomplished, I am

1218
01:42:02,860 --> 01:42:03,620
honestly amazed.

1219
01:42:04,100 --> 01:42:10,020
That's a lot for one person to do, and I feel bad for you when you get criticized when

1220
01:42:10,020 --> 01:42:14,160
I hear people criticizing for the fact that lack of knowledge, people perish.

1221
01:42:14,620 --> 01:42:19,300
I hope that everyone here is seeing the knowledgeable of what she's been doing, how effective

1222
01:42:19,300 --> 01:42:24,260
she's been doing it, from where she was when she started to where she is now.

1223
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:25,900
It's a tremendous jump.

1224
01:42:25,900 --> 01:42:35,220
She has taken leaps that none of this was done. She was left with a lot of problems and so now these problems are being clarified and cleared

1225
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,300
So I think it's kind of like

1226
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:44,640
When you come in and you see something that has to be taken care of and now it's being taken care of and now even better and excelling

1227
01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:46,340
I see her finally excelling now

1228
01:42:46,340 --> 01:42:50,500
She's able to get her feedback on the ground get out of the deficit get out of the problems that we're occurring

1229
01:42:51,140 --> 01:42:51,540
so

1230
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:53,980
Again, it's a lot of work

1231
01:42:54,380 --> 01:42:59,180
We have to take the charge as well. We're on the council. We got to make our city better.

1232
01:42:59,500 --> 01:43:02,240
I don't care how we do it. We got to do it. We got to make our city better.

1233
01:43:02,300 --> 01:43:03,560
And it's only going to happen with teamwork.

1234
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:07,700
And if we're all up here, bickering and fighting and complaining about each other, it's not going to work.

1235
01:43:08,280 --> 01:43:13,040
We got to make sure that we stand together as a team and we start moving things forward.

1236
01:43:13,440 --> 01:43:16,780
And that's part of supporting our businesses and the people that support our businesses as well.

1237
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:22,940
I can tell you first hand. I talked to many businesses. They call me all the time and when I talked to the businesses

1238
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:29,660
They didn't know what was going on during COVID. The chambers literally almost on a daily basis

1239
01:43:29,660 --> 01:43:35,520
Those those roles the everything was changing. They were on it. They were helping people that weren't even their members as

1240
01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:41,400
A courtesy to us where I said can you help with these guys? They're not members, but we don't know what the heck is going on and what's the next rule?

1241
01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:47,220
So, they literally went to every business and walked and posted and helped them with the paperwork and get everything going and filing.

1242
01:43:47,780 --> 01:43:52,420
That's going to button beyond. They didn't have to do that. They chose to do that to help our community help our businesses.

1243
01:43:53,380 --> 01:43:57,600
So, again, for all of that you do them, people don't see behind the scenes in which you're not putting up here.

1244
01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:05,640
That's a lot. So, thank you. And keep up the good work. And when whoever supporting our community in our shows, thank you because we want to support them too.

1245
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:11,740
make sure that everything gets in the right hands. There's no funny business going on and for

1246
01:44:11,740 --> 01:44:16,080
all the stuff that has been accumulated and done, I mean even with saw me saw the books and thought

1247
01:44:16,080 --> 01:44:22,740
I was a great idea going good job. So there is accountability. He has made sure everything was

1248
01:44:22,740 --> 01:44:26,680
in order. So again, thank you for everything you do. Great job.

1249
01:44:27,500 --> 01:44:33,740
Madam Mayor, can I clarify one thing? Yes. I did not attack. I did not attack the chamber. What

1250
01:44:33,740 --> 01:44:40,500
said is the contract is the contract and if it says itemized that that's all I'm saying you

1251
01:44:40,500 --> 01:44:45,420
itemize it we look at it we we have to follow contracts that's what we have to do we have to be

1252
01:44:45,420 --> 01:44:50,940
diligent and artwork also and make sure to look at it just like Mr. Acosta said with those

1253
01:44:50,940 --> 01:44:56,140
other people that we gave money out to he said hey I want to know how it's going back to the city

1254
01:44:56,140 --> 01:44:59,980
and how the city's benefiting so it is just more of hey let's just follow

1255
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:10,220
The contract. Thank you. Madam Mayor, I'd like to just respond to what you said. You know, I'm not in any way saying this is not our job as well.

1256
01:45:10,660 --> 01:45:16,760
But this is their business. And you know, we could say that they're networking and they're doing all this stuff, but the proof is in the pudding.

1257
01:45:17,380 --> 01:45:26,340
The fact is they've lost 20% of businesses in the last six months. There's no way around that. That's a fact. And what we're doing here is holding a vendor.

1258
01:45:29,300 --> 01:45:30,580
We're going to hold you accountable.

1259
01:45:31,260 --> 01:45:32,840
Hold you accountable to the fact.

1260
01:45:33,140 --> 01:45:34,520
So it's not that anything's being negative.

1261
01:45:34,740 --> 01:45:36,760
If it's negative, because it's the truth.

1262
01:45:37,300 --> 01:45:39,320
By stating a fact, it doesn't make it negative.

1263
01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:40,180
It makes it a fact.

1264
01:45:40,700 --> 01:45:42,080
And these are based off the numbers.

1265
01:45:42,660 --> 01:45:43,960
So I get what you're saying.

1266
01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:45,060
It's all of our jobs.

1267
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:45,980
It is our job.

1268
01:45:46,140 --> 01:45:46,880
But it's their business.

1269
01:45:47,100 --> 01:45:48,860
And we pay them to provide this service.

1270
01:45:49,300 --> 01:45:50,700
You can't get around the fact.

1271
01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:54,240
They've lost 20% of the businesses that took them in six months.

1272
01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:57,560
that took them a hundred and two years to gain.

1273
01:45:58,870 --> 01:45:59,870
I want to guess it depends.

1274
01:46:00,130 --> 01:46:01,890
It's a perspective half full, half empty.

1275
01:46:02,770 --> 01:46:04,670
It's 102 years, like she said, she wasn't here on the table.

1276
01:46:04,690 --> 01:46:06,070
She really just over a year ago.

1277
01:46:06,610 --> 01:46:08,350
So if I'm a year to do this, it's amazing.

1278
01:46:08,610 --> 01:46:18,290
Yeah, unless you really know what we do, then you should come and visit, but as far as

1279
01:46:18,290 --> 01:46:23,430
talking about the chamber and things like that, my job is to defend the chamber, and I'm

1280
01:46:23,430 --> 01:46:27,830
is going to tell you that when you defame the change

1281
01:46:27,830 --> 01:46:29,610
in Chamberlain like that by saying, why?

1282
01:46:30,330 --> 01:46:32,430
Then apparently you don't know why.

1283
01:46:33,770 --> 01:46:38,830
And I would appreciate it that you talk to it in a different manner

1284
01:46:38,830 --> 01:46:40,370
or use different words.

1285
01:46:41,410 --> 01:46:43,390
Like I would like to see.

1286
01:46:43,630 --> 01:46:45,130
I mean, I've asked enough.

1287
01:46:45,170 --> 01:46:46,530
I've asked enough over and over.

1288
01:46:46,850 --> 01:46:49,230
And I would like to see this instead of saying,

1289
01:46:49,270 --> 01:46:50,610
I don't like the way you're doing it.

1290
01:46:50,610 --> 01:46:51,570
No, that's toxic.

1291
01:46:51,570 --> 01:46:53,310
Okay, that's really tough.

1292
01:46:53,510 --> 01:46:54,290
If I'm done as a question.

1293
01:46:54,970 --> 01:46:55,330
Point of order.

1294
01:46:56,270 --> 01:46:57,770
If we could have.

1295
01:46:57,990 --> 01:46:58,750
Thank you, Mr.

1296
01:47:00,390 --> 01:47:02,090
There's a presentation being made.

1297
01:47:02,390 --> 01:47:05,990
I statement was made by council member,

1298
01:47:06,110 --> 01:47:07,730
Boharkas to the mayor.

1299
01:47:08,950 --> 01:47:09,710
The statement has ended.

1300
01:47:09,910 --> 01:47:11,930
You had a response to the statement.

1301
01:47:12,230 --> 01:47:14,050
And then we opened it up and then we went again.

1302
01:47:14,550 --> 01:47:15,110
We get that.

1303
01:47:15,530 --> 01:47:16,470
So anyway, let's go point of order.

1304
01:47:16,530 --> 01:47:18,110
Just continue with our meeting.

1305
01:47:18,990 --> 01:47:19,650
So again, thank you.

1306
01:47:20,930 --> 01:47:23,870
We have a approval of agenda, can I get a motion to approve?

1307
01:47:24,590 --> 01:47:25,230
Motion to approve.

1308
01:47:25,390 --> 01:47:25,790
Second, Madam.

1309
01:47:26,190 --> 01:47:27,630
Move by Rudy, second, by Hector.

1310
01:47:27,870 --> 01:47:28,570
Call for the vote, please.

1311
01:47:39,350 --> 01:47:40,150
Motion carries 50.

1312
01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:44,380
Public comments.

1313
01:47:44,500 --> 01:47:47,860
Speaker's may provide public comments on any matter within the subject jurisdiction.

1314
01:47:48,420 --> 01:47:50,020
Of the city council and clean items on the agenda.

1315
01:47:50,220 --> 01:47:53,060
Each speaker will be limited to five minutes unless the majority of the council

1316
01:47:53,060 --> 01:47:54,300
objects the mayor may provide.

1317
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:55,620
Speaker's more or less time to speak.

1318
01:47:55,800 --> 01:47:57,260
All comments and queries shall be addressed.

1319
01:47:57,580 --> 01:47:59,860
To the council as a body and not to any specific member.

1320
01:47:59,860 --> 01:48:05,900
there up, pursuant to the government called Section 54954.2, the Ralph A Brown Act, no action

1321
01:48:05,900 --> 01:48:09,220
or discussion by the City Council shall be undertaken on any item.

1322
01:48:09,360 --> 01:48:13,600
Not appearing on the posted agenda except to briefly provide information as for clarification,

1323
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:17,100
provide direction to staff, or schedule a matter for future meeting.

1324
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:20,840
At this time public comment is now open, Madam Mayor, I have some cards here.

1325
01:48:21,040 --> 01:48:25,960
If I may add on to your direction, just for the members of the audience, a friendly reminder

1326
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:31,780
that the council does follow rules of decorum. So I stated all comments and queries are to

1327
01:48:31,780 --> 01:48:36,880
be addressed to the council as the whole and not the individual member. Thank you. Again,

1328
01:48:37,060 --> 01:48:42,620
that's what we just read. So we'll go ahead and open up with Andrew Graff on behalf of Creed

1329
01:48:42,620 --> 01:48:43,400
Ellie.

1330
01:48:48,570 --> 01:48:55,550
Good evening, Mayor. I'm here to speak on item 8A. Should I speak now or wait until the

1331
01:48:55,550 --> 01:48:56,710
is called.

1332
01:49:04,370 --> 01:49:06,750
You can speak now if you wish to.

1333
01:49:07,130 --> 01:49:10,930
Well, I have an opportunity to speak during the item, or well, they're not be offended

1334
01:49:10,930 --> 01:49:11,730
all for public comment.

1335
01:49:11,730 --> 01:49:16,570
That item will be continued. So if you'd like to speak on to that item, it's advisable.

1336
01:49:16,670 --> 01:49:17,770
It needs to be on the item now.

1337
01:49:18,150 --> 01:49:20,310
Okay. Thank you for your clarification.

1338
01:49:20,310 --> 01:49:23,090
I can understand that. My name is Andrew Graff.

1339
01:49:23,270 --> 01:49:26,170
I'm going to turn you with Adam's broadwill Joseph and Cardozo.

1340
01:49:26,350 --> 01:49:31,770
Here on behalf of the Appellants in Item 8A, the appeal for of the Planning Commission

1341
01:49:31,770 --> 01:49:40,750
resolution number 2409 with respect to the 222 Rosemeat Warehouse Boulevard projects. I'm here

1342
01:49:40,750 --> 01:49:45,990
representing the coalition of responsible equitable economic development, Los Angeles or

1343
01:49:45,990 --> 01:49:53,410
Creed LA. The coalition is a Creed LA is a coalition of labor organizations and residents that

1344
01:49:53,410 --> 01:49:57,710
advocate for production of the environment and the health of the community's work forces.

1345
01:49:58,670 --> 01:50:03,990
Staff has recommended that item 8A be continued to February 18th, 2025.

1346
01:50:04,630 --> 01:50:08,910
Creed LA supports this continuance, but requests that the city council further extend

1347
01:50:08,910 --> 01:50:14,250
the date for the continued hearing to allow sufficient time for the city to prepare an

1348
01:50:14,250 --> 01:50:19,030
environmental impact report, which corrects the deficiencies with the city's environmental

1349
01:50:19,030 --> 01:50:24,690
review as identified and creed LA's appeal and those discussed in the letter that was submitted

1350
01:50:24,690 --> 01:50:25,570
yesterday evening.

1351
01:50:25,570 --> 01:50:30,610
It is critical that the city brings its actions into compliance with Siqua and land

1352
01:50:30,610 --> 01:50:35,090
your laws before any further hearings are conducted with greatly, for sure, consideration,

1353
01:50:35,370 --> 01:50:35,930
these comments.

1354
01:50:36,290 --> 01:50:36,430
Thank you,

1355
01:50:38,940 --> 01:50:39,100
sir.

1356
01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:43,600
And as you were told, it's going to be table till February, 8.

1357
01:50:44,460 --> 01:50:45,740
Next up, Eva Dubois.

1358
01:50:51,100 --> 01:50:51,500
Good evening.

1359
01:50:52,180 --> 01:51:01,880
My name is Eva Dubois, and my properties at 1732, Burkett Road have come because there's

1360
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:11,900
a lot of concern because it's a dangerous traffic situation where I live and there's no way

1361
01:51:11,900 --> 01:51:18,360
to stop the traffic from going through the red lights. I mean the boulevard stops. What's happening

1362
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:29,140
is that the cars never stop. They just go right through and there's also a three way intersection

1363
01:51:29,140 --> 01:51:34,900
there. So the property is here and then we've got a stop here and a stop here and then it goes through.

1364
01:51:35,420 --> 01:51:41,320
But the problem is that they come through and nobody stops. They just go around. They park on the

1365
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:49,980
curves of the street. The cross street is broad. Broad meat? Is that it? Yeah. Broad meat and

1366
01:51:49,980 --> 01:51:56,320
Burkett Road and the cars all stop there and park wherever they want. But nobody stops at these.

1367
01:51:56,320 --> 01:52:02,380
So it's a dangerous situation, our own car was hit, while it was parked because they

1368
01:52:02,380 --> 01:52:07,520
like to come there and a lot of the young people, I guess, they're young, like to

1369
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:09,880
come and do U-turns in that intersection.

1370
01:52:10,500 --> 01:52:16,060
So there's no way to stop it because there's nothing to impede the speed.

1371
01:52:16,500 --> 01:52:22,880
If we had a speed bump, if we had a camera, if we had something that would deter, you know,

1372
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:29,420
activity. It's presenting a danger to all of us, to our property, to our families, because

1373
01:52:29,420 --> 01:52:29,960
we have children.

1374
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:51,020
And as I said, it's a dangerous situation and it needs to have some sort of barriers so that people slow down in some way and don't come speeding through there and just use it as a place to take a turn and just go flying through that area.

1375
01:52:51,020 --> 01:52:59,920
So, I'm hoping that you can put some sort of an impediment for these cars that goes through

1376
01:52:59,920 --> 01:53:05,940
a camera would be great, a speed bump would be even better, having both would be perfect.

1377
01:53:07,100 --> 01:53:12,040
So that at least, you know, there's something that deters people from doing these activities,

1378
01:53:12,180 --> 01:53:13,840
because it is a danger.

1379
01:53:14,140 --> 01:53:16,980
It's putting all our neighbors, my neighbors here too.

1380
01:53:17,060 --> 01:53:18,340
She almost got hit.

1381
01:53:18,340 --> 01:53:22,560
And it's the same thing, it's the same reason, and there's nobody stops there.

1382
01:53:23,860 --> 01:53:31,000
So I'm concerned that it's going to cause, you know, even more problems and more danger to the

1383
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:36,440
neighborhood. So I'm hoping that you'll address this and try to get us some relief.

1384
01:53:37,460 --> 01:53:42,820
Because otherwise I think the city's going to be responsible. And I don't want that to happen,

1385
01:53:43,340 --> 01:53:47,840
but I also want the neighborhood to be safe. Okay, thank you. Thank you, ma'am. We'll go ahead and

1386
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:53,820
extra stuff. Make sure you study that please. And guys, you heard that. You can get one

1387
01:53:53,820 --> 01:53:57,440
of that. Thank you. Anyone else? Probably coming is now open.

1388
01:53:57,580 --> 01:53:59,400
Can my neighbor talk about this? Sure, of course.

1389
01:54:03,080 --> 01:54:06,220
Hello, good afternoon, everybody. My name is Yara Luna.

1390
01:54:08,600 --> 01:54:12,820
Like my neighbor was saying, I'm aware of what

1391
01:54:12,820 --> 01:54:19,260
the situation has been happening not so long ago. Maybe like a month I would say. There was

1392
01:54:19,260 --> 01:54:28,260
accident on thine is Avenue and Brooket where they ran someone over and then like the next

1393
01:54:28,260 --> 01:54:35,480
day they put the stop signs that flashes. So that's what we want as well on brought me to

1394
01:54:35,480 --> 01:54:44,480
Ambracet to at least put some like the flashes on the stop sign or like speed bombs because

1395
01:54:44,480 --> 01:54:52,440
They fly out like they just turn nobody stops on that stop sign and I'm very in the corner of that street.

1396
01:54:52,740 --> 01:54:59,960
So last time I was heading out of my driveway and if I wouldn't stop I think he wouldn't hit my car.

1397
01:54:59,960 --> 01:55:11,920
So, I've been noticing that often that I guess they want to beat the traffic on the

1398
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:18,240
derby and so I guess they go all the way around but they don't stop, they don't make the

1399
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:18,800
stop.

1400
01:55:19,820 --> 01:55:24,400
So, it's something that I would like for you guys to be aware of, you know, because there

1401
01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:31,280
kids to and for our safety. Thank you. He's appreciate that. Yes. Thank you.

1402
01:55:31,340 --> 01:55:36,500
It's not what we're looking into that. Anyone else? Yes, sir.

1403
01:55:40,830 --> 01:55:41,710
Good evening. Robert

1404
01:55:41,710 --> 01:55:43,590
I need to go in. 45 years resident.

1405
01:55:45,970 --> 01:55:49,250
I wasn't planning to come at this time, but

1406
01:55:49,850 --> 01:55:54,310
comment regarding the budget, right? So it's very great. It's good to know that we're good.

1407
01:55:54,310 --> 01:55:59,550
be in the green and there's so much buffer and safety in there. But somewhere in that conversation

1408
01:55:59,550 --> 01:56:06,990
something was brought up about more taxation to the citizens, right? And so as a citizen,

1409
01:56:07,210 --> 01:56:13,770
I'm pretty sure the majority of us, and I'll use upon our allergic to taxes, right? So that's not

1410
01:56:13,770 --> 01:56:14,930
where my older geezer, I can have so bad.

1411
01:56:16,990 --> 01:56:24,290
So I did something real simple, you know, when we were

1412
01:56:24,290 --> 01:56:28,370
computer, right? I'd love to be able to think like that kid or, you know, they may

1413
01:56:28,370 --> 01:56:33,590
move these, the computer war, tennis shoes and kids wanted to wear glasses so they

1414
01:56:33,590 --> 01:56:37,350
were really smart and all that stuff, right? But in this day and age, we have this

1415
01:56:37,350 --> 01:56:42,690
little mini computer, right? So I went on to AI and I typed in,

1416
01:56:45,160 --> 01:56:47,060
how can a city council

1417
01:56:48,340 --> 01:56:52,020
Rays revenue without taxing its citizens.

1418
01:56:52,960 --> 01:56:54,680
It gave me an infinite list.

1419
01:56:55,700 --> 01:56:57,220
It was this big, right?

1420
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:02,300
And then I said, review the list and remove any item

1421
01:57:03,020 --> 01:57:06,500
that might still tax the system.

1422
01:57:06,520 --> 01:57:10,000
And it was a shorter list, but it's still significantly long.

1423
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:13,680
And I don't want to take any of your time to read it here.

1424
01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:18,120
But there are plenty of options on there.

1425
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:20,700
And if anyone wants to see me after the meeting,

1426
01:57:20,860 --> 01:57:22,440
I can show them that.

1427
01:57:23,080 --> 01:57:27,080
And I suggest that we look at those other options first.

1428
01:57:27,700 --> 01:57:30,500
And I understand that maybe some of them are not viable.

1429
01:57:31,300 --> 01:57:33,380
I understand that some of them make take years.

1430
01:57:34,460 --> 01:57:38,320
But I'd like to think that we would prioritize those first

1431
01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:39,780
before we get to the citizens.

1432
01:57:40,300 --> 01:57:41,420
So that's my suggestion.

1433
01:57:41,420 --> 01:57:49,420
on a different matter, I didn't get my green trashpamp can picked up, so I had a call

1434
01:57:50,240 --> 01:57:56,680
the company, right? Athens. And then, you know, I was a logistics manager for 40 years,

1435
01:57:56,940 --> 01:58:03,680
I last 10 years with international paper, so I understand logistics. I asked them if they had a GPS

1436
01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:10,140
to see if the route went through, if the guy is parking on the corner, or do they have a

1437
01:58:10,140 --> 01:58:14,820
account, you know, like, you know, trash, trash trucks go up and down.

1438
01:58:15,420 --> 01:58:22,140
So it seems like we should be able to get a report that indicates if this area

1439
01:58:22,140 --> 01:58:27,560
a pickup on Monday has, you know, 300 citizens, they ought to be able to show that

1440
01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:29,920
that truck picked up 300 trash cans, right?

1441
01:58:30,080 --> 01:58:31,620
It's just a simple assessment.

1442
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:39,080
I'm concerned that citizens are paying their money and someone's not picking up their trash

1443
01:58:39,080 --> 01:58:45,080
and we're kind of docile, but we still have to pay that bill and I can assure you because I have

1444
01:58:45,600 --> 01:58:51,100
cancelled cards and they called me for my money and they won't pick up my trash if I make a mistake.

1445
01:58:51,680 --> 01:58:53,020
So I don't like that.

1446
01:58:53,420 --> 01:59:00,060
I think there should be accountability on the number of pickups to the city to make sure they're not getting paid for it.

1447
01:59:00,080 --> 01:59:00,820
Not doing work.

1448
01:59:01,140 --> 01:59:01,860
Thank you.

1449
01:59:02,080 --> 01:59:02,780
Excuse Mr. Irgon.

1450
01:59:03,780 --> 01:59:05,760
Did they end up picking up your trash after all?

1451
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:12,740
Yeah, they got it the same day, yeah, but the concern was I would have thought that if they didn't pick up my trash

1452
01:59:12,740 --> 01:59:16,980
There would be like a sticker that says hey, you know, you're not in compliance or something like that

1453
01:59:16,980 --> 01:59:23,080
And I find it very difficult to understand how somebody can miss a trash can got mean if that's what they're doing all day long, right?

1454
01:59:23,840 --> 01:59:29,200
And yeah, conspiracy theory. What if they're parking somewhere and not picking up 50 dumps

1455
01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:40,860
And what's 50 times, you know, whatever weekly charge they get, and if they do that, the next section, and they do once a week, and so that revenue can add up very quickly, lack of work getting paid.

1456
01:59:41,100 --> 01:59:42,660
Don't like that scenario. Thank you.

1457
01:59:42,760 --> 01:59:44,940
Thank you, sir. Anyone else?

1458
01:59:45,760 --> 01:59:46,700
Will it come in?

1459
01:59:47,500 --> 01:59:47,940
Is there any other?

1460
01:59:53,710 --> 01:59:55,610
Good evening Mayor City Council.

1461
01:59:57,030 --> 01:59:58,090
It's just a real quick comment.

1462
01:59:58,090 --> 01:59:59,970
It'll just interesting to me that worked.

1463
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:28,400
Locking about the $20,000 that may be paid to chambers. And you have the right to question everything. And I understand that. The policy is agreement, whatever the contract is. But for as much as they've done, for not only the children of our local schools, but the share of the Parliament, it's something just to really think about. And I understand you guys want answers. I totally agree, but last meeting, they gave a wrestling program, who I love sports.

1464
02:00:30,280 --> 02:00:36,600
$15,000, and they didn't question anything, and one of your board members of pure council,

1465
02:00:36,920 --> 02:00:39,820
he runs that program or is a main coach there.

1466
02:00:40,440 --> 02:00:44,420
I just don't, you didn't, you didn't question that, and I'm not sure why.

1467
02:00:45,860 --> 02:00:46,820
Thank you.

1468
02:00:47,240 --> 02:00:47,960
Thank you.

1469
02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:48,900
Mr. Olmels.

1470
02:00:49,740 --> 02:00:50,660
Anyone else?

1471
02:00:52,380 --> 02:00:53,740
Someone I'm like?

1472
02:00:54,900 --> 02:00:56,660
Yes, Mayor, I believe Eddie's online.

1473
02:00:57,340 --> 02:00:58,180
Eddie, go ahead and get five minutes.

1474
02:01:02,340 --> 02:01:04,700
And if you're there, go ahead and unmute.

1475
02:01:08,600 --> 02:01:09,760
Good evening. Can you hear me?

1476
02:01:10,020 --> 02:01:11,320
Yes, sir. Go ahead.

1477
02:01:12,140 --> 02:01:14,200
Hello. Good afternoon, City Council.

1478
02:01:14,560 --> 02:01:19,420
I'm just going to go fast because I'm just thinking out of the box.

1479
02:01:20,220 --> 02:01:26,520
Have we taken a look at the restrooms at the City of Saltamani,

1480
02:01:27,680 --> 02:01:28,660
Littlely Park?

1481
02:01:28,680 --> 02:01:33,260
I've been trying to see how we're going to go forward to

1482
02:01:33,260 --> 02:01:41,520
I played there in 1979, John Morannell was there, and those restrooms, according to

1483
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:48,780
the ACLU, the men's restroom, there is no way you could get a wheelchair accessibility

1484
02:01:48,780 --> 02:01:49,500
in there.

1485
02:01:49,620 --> 02:01:52,760
That's two stalls, two seats, one urinal.

1486
02:01:54,100 --> 02:02:00,200
Under code compliance with the ACLU, I'm asking before there is something brought up to

1487
02:02:00,200 --> 02:02:07,780
provides us attention. Some of those in there and sue the city. So let's see if we could

1488
02:02:07,780 --> 02:02:15,800
get that restroom upgraded updated and all the funds that we have. We didn't do nothing

1489
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:23,260
about the CNN measure. I'm directing the council, voters voted that in. There's been

1490
02:02:23,260 --> 02:02:34,180
a lot of maneuvering and basically, let's dodge that, that elected, we voted on it,

1491
02:02:34,360 --> 02:02:41,200
it was on the ballot. However, much it caused it to be on the ballot, it passed. Public

1492
02:02:41,200 --> 02:02:51,620
safety needs money, city needs money. It's a way of bringing revenue funds and money into

1493
02:02:51,620 --> 02:02:59,520
city. You're not going to stop. Elmani has five dispensaries, maybe six, take a peak, city manager,

1494
02:03:00,100 --> 02:03:07,660
talk to the city manager over there. See what she's bought in the Elmani police department

1495
02:03:07,660 --> 02:03:15,940
with that money, a new vercat, they bought an idea of all the commanders at night, the SWAT has

1496
02:03:15,940 --> 02:03:23,800
they have their night vision. So allocated money comes through that dispensary. Let's not

1497
02:03:23,800 --> 02:03:29,180
dodge it, miss out. We already missed out three years of revenue. Another, another issue

1498
02:03:29,180 --> 02:03:36,120
that was the fire across the street from City Hall. We put a green screen. Is that debris still

1499
02:03:36,120 --> 02:03:41,300
not being moved? I haven't taken a peek because I had knee surgery, but as soon as I'm able

1500
02:03:41,300 --> 02:03:48,800
to hop along and drive a car. I'll be over there to look at that. City, a money greater.

1501
02:03:50,840 --> 02:03:57,860
Anyway, that's that hospital needs their trauma center updated. It's a nice hospital from

1502
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:06,240
coming in and visiting now. We've done a good job of helping them, you know, but the

1503
02:04:07,160 --> 02:04:33,400
It's our data 50 years, you know, you go in there and yeah, they have people trying to keep it updated, but we really need to take a look at helping our money greater that's used by our county sheriffs used by our money police department as an emergency outlet for our officers that take people in there for anything that they need to take in there.

1504
02:04:33,400 --> 02:04:39,720
it is a public public place and there is public funding. We as a city should push that issue.

1505
02:04:42,420 --> 02:04:48,100
You know, naming Michael Hunt drive another name. I'm not going to tell you what I would

1506
02:04:48,100 --> 02:04:54,120
name it, but I know there's ifs ands about taking Michael Hunt and they did it when it was

1507
02:04:54,120 --> 02:05:01,840
slack road, made it in his name. There's ifs ands and buts. I was a I was a patron of going to that

1508
02:05:01,840 --> 02:05:08,760
all the time, you know, maybe we should change the name Michael Hunt drive to another name.

1509
02:05:09,200 --> 02:05:17,260
I'm not going to say what name, but I know there's someone that deserves to be put on that street

1510
02:05:17,260 --> 02:05:25,300
that serve the city and you serve the city. Now the cross building, the cross building is the

1511
02:05:25,300 --> 02:05:33,500
feed, place that city of Sautamani now is using. Why can we get Ben Lira, which if someone

1512
02:05:33,500 --> 02:05:41,800
digs into archives and the crowd's wish was to have Ben Lira have that as a boxing gym. Maybe

1513
02:05:41,800 --> 02:05:48,080
I'm shooting out at the moon, maybe I'm shooting out to Jupiter or Mars, but I'm telling you guys.

1514
02:05:48,980 --> 02:05:55,220
I'll dig up paperwork, bring it up to the forum, and that should be one of the leading boxing

1515
02:05:55,220 --> 02:06:03,440
in Jim's in the landmark city of Saltamani where we've had champions, box and come up.

1516
02:06:03,820 --> 02:06:09,200
I'll leave it at that seven seconds and you guys all have a blessed night and take care

1517
02:06:09,200 --> 02:06:11,920
of business because business may need. Amen.

1518
02:06:13,220 --> 02:06:14,840
Thank you, Eddie. Anyone else?

1519
02:06:17,160 --> 02:06:17,480
Anyone else?

1520
02:06:17,720 --> 02:06:18,040
Anyone else, someone?

1521
02:06:18,700 --> 02:06:20,180
See, none of the public companies. No close.

1522
02:06:25,030 --> 02:06:31,410
Madam Mayor, if I may ask a question. Is there any way we could move up item 12B?

1523
02:06:31,410 --> 02:06:35,210
because there's a couple of people here and I know that our next item that's coming up might

1524
02:06:35,210 --> 02:06:37,910
take a long time.

1525
02:06:39,090 --> 02:06:46,930
It's actually council members agenda, and I'd want to bring it about 12 B. If I can,

1526
02:06:58,790 --> 02:06:58,890
I have

1527
02:06:58,890 --> 02:06:59,430
no objection.

1528
02:07:00,210 --> 02:07:04,630
There's no objection if there isn't any. Because I'd like to touch on that anyway, we

1529
02:07:04,630 --> 02:07:06,170
are really doing it.

1530
02:07:10,130 --> 02:07:10,150
Okay.

1531
02:07:11,890 --> 02:07:17,890
All right. At this time, if I could have Mr. Robert Yer-Goyne, please come up to the podium.

1532
02:07:18,670 --> 02:07:24,310
He's going to go ahead and present something. I understand the City already has a cert program,

1533
02:07:24,810 --> 02:07:29,790
but what we're talking about is a cert team. Go ahead, Mr. Yer-Goyne again. We do have that.

1534
02:07:30,780 --> 02:07:38,440
Yes. We actually have a whole team in committee. That does that. Go ahead. Go ahead, Mr. Robon.

1535
02:07:38,480 --> 02:07:45,300
Thank you for your patience. Didn't expect to get up here twice, but you know, you can call it a fad.

1536
02:07:45,580 --> 02:07:55,940
You can call it a call to attention, right? But, you know, we got fires going on. And now all of a sudden our attention is, it is in that direction, right?

1537
02:07:55,940 --> 02:08:01,060
somebody dies, yikes, right? Something bad happened. So there's been fires in the

1538
02:08:01,060 --> 02:08:06,040
Eaton Canyon up here, both of us know somebody in that area, right? Some of us know

1539
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:10,080
some of the folks in Palo Sates. And when I'm talking about his emergency

1540
02:08:10,080 --> 02:08:15,240
preparedness, and certainly the cert program assists in that way. As a

1541
02:08:15,240 --> 02:08:19,480
resident, I've heard of it before, but in my opinion, and I'm going to talk

1542
02:08:19,480 --> 02:08:24,380
to do opinion, and this is not to degrade anyone, I don't see it as a strong

1543
02:08:24,380 --> 02:08:31,940
focal point in that myself as a citizen, I am not fully aware of its day-day

1544
02:08:31,940 --> 02:08:36,280
day actions, monthly actions, even annual actions. I just have not seen it. Now

1545
02:08:36,280 --> 02:08:41,920
that could be my fault, and I understand that completely. But the reality is that

1546
02:08:41,920 --> 02:08:46,780
who in these emergencies take place, people die, people get hurt, and there's a lot

1547
02:08:46,780 --> 02:08:52,780
of chaos. If you tell a citizen, hey, far as coming, you've got to leave, first thing

1548
02:08:52,780 --> 02:08:58,660
think of, I got to get my valuables, right? Now when they think about that, I guess what?

1549
02:08:58,700 --> 02:09:04,200
They forgot about leaving. And then that five minutes turns into 10, turns into 20, turns

1550
02:09:04,200 --> 02:09:11,780
into 30, and guess what? You can't have 20,000 people leave at the same time, right? So there's

1551
02:09:11,780 --> 02:09:17,320
some emergency preparedness that we have a hat to have a headache time. Folks got to understand

1552
02:09:17,320 --> 02:09:21,840
the realities of congestion. They got to understand that when it's time to go a time

1553
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:27,900
to go, and they need to be reminded, takes a medicine, if you have a C-pat machine, get that,

1554
02:09:28,120 --> 02:09:31,920
did you photograph all of your important documents, let's say it's a fire, and you don't

1555
02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:38,620
have your insurance, etc. We've got to get all that stuff prepared, and most of us don't

1556
02:09:38,620 --> 02:09:42,980
think about it, because it hasn't hit us. But right now we look at what's happening over

1557
02:09:42,980 --> 02:09:47,740
there, and both of those people are suffering, right? We don't want to be in that place.

1558
02:09:47,740 --> 02:09:49,580
I know you don't want that to happen.

1559
02:09:50,280 --> 02:09:53,900
So I'm encouraging you to, I don't know what the right word is.

1560
02:09:53,980 --> 02:09:58,780
I want to be polite, reanimate the program, make it a little higher level.

1561
02:09:59,740 --> 02:10:03,260
But also, not everybody's going to join the circuit program.

1562
02:10:03,920 --> 02:10:08,060
So let's get some emergency preparedness for the citizens.

1563
02:10:09,080 --> 02:10:11,140
I'm sure we have resources like the Red Cross.

1564
02:10:11,880 --> 02:10:17,720
I'm sure the fireman and the policemen, you know,

1565
02:10:17,720 --> 02:10:21,840
first aid and CPR classes, et cetera, teach people how to put together

1566
02:10:21,840 --> 02:10:24,980
go bag and all the stuff that I just wasn't talking about that.

1567
02:10:25,200 --> 02:10:27,880
Because what we don't want to do is when they look back and say,

1568
02:10:28,800 --> 02:10:29,820
I could have done something.

1569
02:10:30,440 --> 02:10:31,580
I should have done something.

1570
02:10:31,960 --> 02:10:32,060
All right.

1571
02:10:32,460 --> 02:10:33,600
So thank you.

1572
02:10:33,660 --> 02:10:34,460
Thank you, Mr. Gones.

1573
02:10:34,820 --> 02:10:39,180
So Madam Mayor, the reason I brought that up is I ran into Mr.

1574
02:10:39,280 --> 02:10:42,780
You're going at burgers, I don't actually.

1575
02:10:43,120 --> 02:10:43,960
And he brought that up.

1576
02:10:44,120 --> 02:10:46,140
And that was something that I thought about years ago.

1577
02:10:46,140 --> 02:11:03,140
So we just want to make it more visible to where we could create an actual team, like a core of people that maybe if it's meeting once a month or twice a month or even trying to have more people join or

1578
02:11:03,140 --> 02:11:13,280
And then we went on to educate how do we educate these people because I'm telling you right now out of the three friends that I know that lost their homes up in El Tadina

1579
02:11:13,980 --> 02:11:18,920
It would never happen to them because they live too far away from the mountain, but yet it happened to them.

1580
02:11:19,320 --> 02:11:24,500
So we do not know, believe it or not, in an earthquake, we're surrounded by rivers.

1581
02:11:25,100 --> 02:11:27,240
There's bridges every single point.

1582
02:11:27,820 --> 02:11:33,520
So if we have to go ahead and try to survive and this is a low number three to five days,

1583
02:11:34,500 --> 02:11:36,080
can everybody actually do this?

1584
02:11:36,480 --> 02:11:39,120
Are we prepared to do this?

1585
02:11:39,120 --> 02:11:51,760
What can the city do to educate the community and let them know that you need these items and you need to be able to help one of the biggest things that Mr.

1586
02:11:51,820 --> 02:11:56,080
You're going brought up or that we talked about is how do you help your neighbor?

1587
02:11:56,560 --> 02:11:58,640
What if I'm prepared but my neighbor's not prepared?

1588
02:11:58,880 --> 02:12:00,080
How do I help my neighbor?

1589
02:12:00,200 --> 02:12:00,700
How do I go?

1590
02:12:00,900 --> 02:12:07,860
How do I work with the police department because the sheriff's department they're gonna be really busy the hospitals gonna be really busy

1591
02:12:07,860 --> 02:12:26,640
If the cert team, if we had an actual team that would meet together, that would just at least go out and go to all the senior citizen homes and make sure they're okay or go out and just knock on doors and make sure that would help the sheriff's department relieve some of their work.

1592
02:12:26,640 --> 02:12:35,200
You know, hey, maybe, of course, you can't perform first aid unless you, you know, first aid but might help the hospitals.

1593
02:12:35,680 --> 02:12:43,720
So what I'm trying to do is if I could direct staff to help me put together something to where we create a certain team.

1594
02:12:43,800 --> 02:12:56,460
I understand people are certified but if I, I don't know, but I'm asking, while I'll ask you, Mayor, do we have a team that actually meets once a month, once a year?

1595
02:12:56,460 --> 02:12:58,140
half a year or any time.

1596
02:12:58,160 --> 02:13:06,320
So recently we made many quarterly and we just had one last month or the month before and we're

1597
02:13:06,320 --> 02:13:09,700
getting all the backpacks you, you should know you wouldn't have received one but the rest

1598
02:13:09,700 --> 02:13:14,180
of you guys got a backpack with some of the items in it and a list, a checklist.

1599
02:13:15,220 --> 02:13:19,540
So we have administrative staff involved with it as well as myself and Mr. Auguster on the

1600
02:13:20,680 --> 02:13:33,360
And also, it talks about, if something were to happen, each of the buildings that are accessible for us, what we do, what we need to do triaging, again being certified.

1601
02:13:35,380 --> 02:13:41,860
Also, the direction to D3, which is our area, where our area D3.

1602
02:13:41,860 --> 02:13:50,660
And so who we contact, how we have contacts, there's a list of sheets of their, those contacts will be put online as soon as they're completely verified.

1603
02:13:51,040 --> 02:13:55,480
So we're almost there. Diana has been taking care of that. She's spearheads at her and Eric.

1604
02:13:57,820 --> 02:14:06,800
And also it talks about our checklist as a city as a whole. How much would it be for us to survive? How long would it take for us to survive?

1605
02:14:07,240 --> 02:14:08,580
So there's items in their flashlight.

1606
02:14:08,580 --> 02:14:20,080
So I guess building a team, if we could add on to what we already have and build a team just because we need to add on to what we already have.

1607
02:14:20,420 --> 02:14:27,440
You know, I'm sure Mr. You're going myself and some other residents showed up here would want to be a part of that team.

1608
02:14:27,840 --> 02:14:34,360
And like I said our goal is to try to educate and I don't need the backpack. I need my neighbor to have that backpack.

1609
02:14:34,360 --> 02:14:39,520
course because I know what to do. I'm saying how do we educate the rest of the

1610
02:14:39,820 --> 02:14:43,160
community that that's the most important part of you let me finish you might hear the

1611
02:14:43,160 --> 02:14:49,320
rest of it. So also on top of that it also we talked about reaching out to others as

1612
02:14:49,320 --> 02:14:56,320
well. So we've had cert programs in your natural class, went through six week class and

1613
02:14:56,320 --> 02:14:59,580
training. So it was people from our community as well as outside.

1614
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:13,140
Surrounding communities. So each of them were told, if something were to occur, because you're getting the training here, your first thought is to take care of your family and then you immediately come to help the city that you took and certified for.

1615
02:15:14,100 --> 02:15:25,460
And that's what we are trained to do. So with all of that, we have everything in the motion. We just haven't completed everything yet. So we're in the middle of completing everything, updating it.

1616
02:15:25,460 --> 02:15:30,220
So once it's updated, then it's going to open up again another class for whoever else wants to join,

1617
02:15:30,440 --> 02:15:35,980
then they'll be able to join as well. So we have, like, say, Joy Figaroa, he's got what,

1618
02:15:36,240 --> 02:15:42,340
maybe 12 men under him. So he and his 12 men staff are already directed on what to do.

1619
02:15:42,540 --> 02:15:46,660
Every department head here has the people under them. They are already telling their staff.

1620
02:15:46,680 --> 02:15:51,560
This is what you're directed to do. So something we're to occur. We do have a beginning already to start.

1621
02:15:51,560 --> 02:15:57,340
Now, is it over? No. We're building on it every time we have a meeting. We add more. We check out more.

1622
02:15:57,700 --> 02:16:02,080
We do more things and we get an update. So, once that's in completion of the updating,

1623
02:16:02,420 --> 02:16:06,300
because did area D3 change some of their stuff. Once that's in completion of,

1624
02:16:06,520 --> 02:16:09,600
then we'll go ahead and have another class session where more people will be added to it.

1625
02:16:09,620 --> 02:16:11,800
And this is up into the residence. Public.

1626
02:16:12,600 --> 02:16:16,780
Public. Not just the residence. So, does that answer your question?

1627
02:16:18,100 --> 02:16:18,580
Okay.

1628
02:16:27,500 --> 02:16:28,960
Item number 7, consent calendar.

1629
02:16:29,800 --> 02:16:30,940
Going to get a motion to approve.

1630
02:16:31,840 --> 02:16:33,320
So move, I'll second the motion.

1631
02:16:33,780 --> 02:16:36,340
Move by Hector, second by Mani, call for the vote, please.

1632
02:16:46,340 --> 02:16:47,720
Motion carries 5-0.

1633
02:17:11,220 --> 02:17:12,340
We're table in 80.

1634
02:17:14,480 --> 02:17:18,460
Yes, Madam Mayor, pursuant to government code section 549-55.1.

1635
02:17:18,460 --> 02:17:22,480
This hearing will be continued to the February 18th, 2025 City Council meeting.

1636
02:17:23,100 --> 02:17:23,640
Thank you, Madam.

1637
02:17:24,260 --> 02:17:24,480
All right.

1638
02:17:24,480 --> 02:17:35,260
Next up, item 8B consideration approval resolution, 25 servo 9, authorized by Programming and Programming of Community Development, Block Grant, CDBG funds, who's doing that?

1639
02:17:35,520 --> 02:17:41,040
Madam Mayor, this is a public hearing, it's recommended to open the public hearing for a public comment.

1640
02:17:41,420 --> 02:17:44,520
Okay, with that being said, public hearing is now open on item B as in Baker.

1641
02:17:47,210 --> 02:17:49,730
Anybody? Anybody online?

1642
02:17:51,590 --> 02:17:55,510
C9, hearing is closed, go ahead, do we have a presentation?

1643
02:17:56,050 --> 02:17:59,950
Madam Mayor, have a brief presentation by staff, and address will provide that.

1644
02:18:02,350 --> 02:18:04,410
Good evening, Madam Mayor, City Council members.

1645
02:18:04,890 --> 02:18:11,950
Each year, we're required to repurpose our funds that we receive for CDVG from LACDA that

1646
02:18:11,950 --> 02:18:21,810
via HUD. So this year we're recommending is that we reprogram our funding for FY2425 and FY2526.

1647
02:18:25,350 --> 02:18:36,410
What we're asking is for to repurpose in 2425 CDBG funds allocation a total of 910,952.

1648
02:18:37,550 --> 02:18:46,450
The breakdown is 136-207 for the aquatic pool replastry project, $100,000, $100,000 for

1649
02:18:46,450 --> 02:18:56,450
code enforcement, $136,000 for involving funds for the aquatic pool replastry project, $238,745 for

1650
02:18:56,450 --> 02:19:02,810
the city hall restroom renovation project, and then we're asking CDB or LACDA for an additional

1651
02:19:02,810 --> 02:19:08,990
of $300,000 and revolving funds to be used for the city hall restroom renovation project.

1652
02:19:09,950 --> 02:19:18,610
For FY-2526, it's a total of $226,774,000 at the city is going to receive.

1653
02:19:20,030 --> 02:19:26,030
We're going to use 100 or we're recommending to use 136,000 to repay revolving funds that were used for this year's

1654
02:19:26,030 --> 02:19:33,450
aquatic porous classroom project and then we're asking to repay 90,000, 774 to repay the

1655
02:19:33,450 --> 02:19:37,590
revolving funds that are going to be used for this year's project for the City Hall

1656
02:19:37,590 --> 02:19:39,190
Restaurant Innovation Project.

1657
02:19:41,900 --> 02:19:46,660
Nice. Any questions? All right. Can you get a motion to approve?

1658
02:19:48,160 --> 02:19:51,300
Motion to approve. Let me get a second please. Second.

1659
02:19:51,780 --> 02:19:55,540
Move by manning second by Rudy. Call for the vote please.

1660
02:20:00,920 --> 02:20:06,620
So Mayor, just to clarify, it's to adopt resolution number 20509,

1661
02:20:06,820 --> 02:20:12,140
allowing the city to revise the CDBG consolidated action plan for use of the CDBG funds for

1662
02:20:12,140 --> 02:20:20,160
physical year 2024 25 and physical year 2526 and all the city managed to adjust the CDBG program

1663
02:20:20,160 --> 02:20:28,320
budgets as necessary throughout physical year 2425 and 2526 for the timely expenditure of CDBG funds.

1664
02:20:29,280 --> 02:20:31,440
Yes, thank you Rene. Motion passed 50.

1665
02:20:34,250 --> 02:20:38,110
All righty. 9A presentation of design options for Civic Center and

1666
02:20:38,110 --> 02:20:41,610
inter-just jurisdictional bicycle lanes for project.

1667
02:20:42,590 --> 02:20:45,970
Madam Mayor and City Council. If you recall,

1668
02:20:46,070 --> 02:20:48,010
this item has brought to your attention.

1669
02:20:49,190 --> 02:20:53,710
And I want to say mid year of last year.

1670
02:20:54,190 --> 02:20:59,810
And we're bringing it back for consideration of two options for this project.

1671
02:20:59,810 --> 02:21:19,270
We do have representatives with transtec that will provide the presentation if we can have them come up, and I'll start it off with the first three slides to, and then represent transtec will do the technical part.

1672
02:21:19,270 --> 02:21:22,350
So, you need one second,

1673
02:21:27,330 --> 02:21:33,990
so this has been a long process for this project, it's fully funded.

1674
02:21:35,050 --> 02:21:43,670
We've been really successful in getting money through Metro via the cog for two sets of funding.

1675
02:21:44,930 --> 02:21:50,990
So right now we'll go over the project overview and bicycle facility design, so I'll just do the project overview

1676
02:21:50,990 --> 02:21:53,790
that had to, I don't have to translate. Next slide, please.

1677
02:21:55,370 --> 02:21:58,530
So if we recall this, this location involves

1678
02:21:58,530 --> 02:22:01,490
sanity to Avenue and the quarter between

1679
02:22:01,490 --> 02:22:05,850
Highway 60 and Tyler at Clingerman is pretty much the

1680
02:22:05,850 --> 02:22:09,010
length of the project. And it's going to include pedestrian

1681
02:22:09,010 --> 02:22:12,690
mobility improvements, sidewalk improvements,

1682
02:22:13,990 --> 02:22:17,230
and also safety construction improvements in some of the

1683
02:22:18,530 --> 02:22:19,850
the next slide please.

1684
02:22:25,530 --> 02:22:29,530
So this is the location of the project from the freeway all the way to.

1685
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:36,840
The end of the city limit. So it's Santa Anita and Tyler. 1.4 miles. Next slide please.

1686
02:22:38,320 --> 02:22:44,200
So this is the funding for pretty much both options. 1 is cheaper than the other.

1687
02:22:45,340 --> 02:22:51,800
But again, these are measure M fundings, regional measure M fundings that we were able to attend.

1688
02:22:52,200 --> 02:22:59,120
So it's obtained in two different call for projects and the total is 9.1 million. Next slide.

1689
02:23:00,260 --> 02:23:05,380
And I'll let Cranstick do the overview of the two options.

1690
02:23:06,960 --> 02:23:07,180
Thank you.

1691
02:23:07,320 --> 02:23:10,080
My name is Arirat, Madam Mayor and Council members.

1692
02:23:10,580 --> 02:23:12,380
The design project manager for this project.

1693
02:23:12,700 --> 02:23:15,540
So we will go over the design options for the corridor.

1694
02:23:16,760 --> 02:23:19,360
Talking about option one and option two briefly.

1695
02:23:19,720 --> 02:23:23,680
Option one as you see in a cross section in the bottom of the screen.

1696
02:23:23,680 --> 02:23:28,420
That is a class 4 by a clean or a separated by clean.

1697
02:23:28,640 --> 02:23:34,540
What this design, the on a street parking lane, will be on the left side of the

1698
02:23:34,540 --> 02:23:39,880
bike lane, bike lane will be actually adjacent to the curb line and there will be a buffer

1699
02:23:39,880 --> 02:23:46,860
of a delineators adjacent to the bike lane and this option will include the Pursuit

1700
02:23:46,860 --> 02:23:50,800
of a new to Viver Avenue next slide.

1701
02:23:51,820 --> 02:23:59,840
This is option 2, this is a class 2 bike lane and this option is to see the parking lane

1702
02:23:59,840 --> 02:24:04,700
is adjacent to the curve on the bike lane is adjacent to the traffic lane, the traffic

1703
02:24:04,700 --> 02:24:07,040
on the top is actually schematic.

1704
02:24:07,900 --> 02:24:12,560
The cross section and the bill shows that we are keeping the four lanes for the corridor

1705
02:24:12,560 --> 02:24:14,960
for the entire corridor, for the project limit.

1706
02:24:15,620 --> 02:24:18,600
This option, again, is the cost to bike lane.

1707
02:24:19,160 --> 02:24:24,560
It doesn't have that separated concept of the option one.

1708
02:24:25,500 --> 02:24:26,020
Next slide.

1709
02:24:27,980 --> 02:24:30,880
This is the remaining portion of the corridors.

1710
02:24:31,220 --> 02:24:34,000
So from we were having you all the way to the north side.

1711
02:24:34,720 --> 02:24:36,300
This is a cost to bike lane.

1712
02:24:36,360 --> 02:24:37,820
This doesn't have a buffer.

1713
02:24:38,160 --> 02:24:39,400
We don't have room for buffer.

1714
02:24:39,540 --> 02:24:42,760
We are working within the curved space of the street.

1715
02:24:42,760 --> 02:24:50,700
What this option we're keeping to on the street parking and the bike lane will be on the left side of the parking lane next night, please

1716
02:24:51,580 --> 02:25:00,560
These are bicycle lane definitions. This is the Cust-TU is on the left side of the parking parking is adjacent to the curb

1717
02:25:00,560 --> 02:25:09,820
Cust-TU with the buffer is the same concept, but there's a buffer striping buffer on the left side between the bike lane and the traffic lane

1718
02:25:09,820 --> 02:25:15,960
costs four or psychotrack, the parking lane is on the left side of the bike lane and

1719
02:25:15,960 --> 02:25:24,120
the bike lane is adjacent to the curb line. Next slide, these are the numbers of parking

1720
02:25:24,120 --> 02:25:32,460
losses based on each option. The costs four bike lane has the most losses and the reason

1721
02:25:32,460 --> 02:25:37,360
for that is because we need to consider side distances when we push the bike the parking

1722
02:25:37,360 --> 02:25:40,560
to be adjacent to the traffic lane when it

1723
02:25:40,560 --> 02:25:42,620
to consider sight distance and visibility for

1724
02:25:42,620 --> 02:25:44,380
turning movements at the dryways.

1725
02:25:45,360 --> 02:25:47,760
And the total number of the parkingway

1726
02:25:47,760 --> 02:25:50,000
honest parking spots that will be lost

1727
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:55,160
as part of this option, as you see in the second column

1728
02:25:55,160 --> 02:25:56,320
is 105.

1729
02:25:57,680 --> 02:26:00,540
Second option, which is a class 2,

1730
02:26:01,660 --> 02:26:05,120
will lose just 21 if I'm not mistaken.

1731
02:26:05,120 --> 02:26:12,100
I can read that from here, but I will lose this 21 parking over of the option 2 if we can go to

1732
02:26:12,100 --> 02:26:12,740
next slide.

1733
02:26:15,260 --> 02:26:17,820
So what this I wanted to get this staff recommendation.

1734
02:26:20,330 --> 02:26:22,750
Basically we have a recommendation

1735
02:26:22,750 --> 02:26:29,130
between these two options. To City Council provide direction whether to implement design option 1,

1736
02:26:29,450 --> 02:26:37,370
which is the cycle track class 4 or the design option 2, which is class 2, bike lane for this project.

1737
02:26:37,370 --> 02:26:39,730
so that we can proceed with the final design

1738
02:26:39,730 --> 02:26:42,690
and direct the city manager to finalize project design

1739
02:26:42,690 --> 02:26:44,710
based on the selected design option.

1740
02:26:45,170 --> 02:26:47,930
And Mayor and City Council, if I may,

1741
02:26:48,450 --> 02:26:51,050
as Trance succeeded, there's two options.

1742
02:26:52,070 --> 02:26:55,930
And the big difference is the amount of parking spaces lost.

1743
02:26:56,830 --> 02:27:04,190
So for option one, there's actually 99 spots

1744
02:27:04,190 --> 02:27:06,110
that will be lost for option one.

1745
02:27:06,110 --> 02:27:21,910
And that's because of the design of the road with that particular bike lane, plus incorporating new rules and laws from the state regarding parking and site distance, line of site distance as people exit the driveways.

1746
02:27:22,870 --> 02:27:31,890
The second option only loses 21 parking spaces, and that's due to the type of bike lane that's being designed.

1747
02:27:35,770 --> 02:27:36,830
Can we get option 3?

1748
02:27:38,730 --> 02:27:40,730
So I like the one where it has the buffer.

1749
02:27:41,130 --> 02:27:42,430
Obviously, we can't lose that much parking.

1750
02:27:42,590 --> 02:27:43,430
You're going to kill us here.

1751
02:27:43,450 --> 02:27:46,090
People are going to be calling us even more than we get called.

1752
02:27:46,350 --> 02:27:48,530
How many of you guys have calls because of parking?

1753
02:27:49,490 --> 02:27:49,590
Yeah.

1754
02:27:49,690 --> 02:27:50,130
We can't lose parking.

1755
02:27:50,150 --> 02:27:52,010
So yeah, we get that all the time.

1756
02:27:53,330 --> 02:27:58,030
But can you put it back to the design shows the designs?

1757
02:28:02,240 --> 02:28:06,580
So even though I think it's important to have a buffer having the bike to me right there.

1758
02:28:06,720 --> 02:28:08,980
That's dangerous on the middle picture.

1759
02:28:08,980 --> 02:28:17,280
I mean, someone opened their car door, they're going flying, and also, like, I don't know how you're protecting them because you see the way these cars drive.

1760
02:28:17,400 --> 02:28:21,640
If they're trying to get around that car next to them, they don't care, they're just going to do it anyway, which might hit someone.

1761
02:28:22,400 --> 02:28:30,340
I don't know if there's an option 3 that we can create, that would put the bike lane, maybe adjacent to the curb, right?

1762
02:28:30,560 --> 02:28:37,980
But without losing the parking and still keep the buffer, and you can have the buffer between the lane, bike lane and the...

1763
02:28:39,360 --> 02:28:42,280
And the left side of the car. Does that make sense?

1764
02:28:42,780 --> 02:28:46,600
So if I may not something, if I may, to clarify.

1765
02:28:48,080 --> 02:28:53,380
So this option is mainly part of incorporated.

1766
02:28:53,460 --> 02:28:56,980
This design is incorporated and mainly an option too.

1767
02:28:59,860 --> 02:29:05,900
The class score is basically option one, which is the major parking loss.

1768
02:29:05,900 --> 02:29:14,160
And we're just following the design standards and design manuals and because there are multiple drivers on the corridor,

1769
02:29:15,060 --> 02:29:19,120
that's the main reason that we have a major loss and a number of the parking.

1770
02:29:19,700 --> 02:29:22,500
But my point is to clarify for council,

1771
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:31,620
class 2 and class 2 that are shown is mainly for option 2, correct?

1772
02:29:31,620 --> 02:29:34,300
which is only 21 species.

1773
02:29:35,240 --> 02:29:37,780
The protected that you see on the bottom,

1774
02:29:38,260 --> 02:29:41,760
that's mainly in option one.

1775
02:29:42,280 --> 02:29:42,940
Cots, yeah.

1776
02:29:43,540 --> 02:29:48,800
But because of the design, you lose 99 spots for option one.

1777
02:29:51,220 --> 02:29:52,020
That's a lot of spots.

1778
02:29:52,780 --> 02:29:55,340
And it is a major commercial corridor.

1779
02:29:56,320 --> 02:29:57,340
Parking is a premium.

1780
02:30:00,740 --> 02:30:09,740
I am there. We have some businesses for construction like the grant places that are along that corridor as well.

1781
02:30:16,190 --> 02:30:22,130
I like to go with the lowest loss of parking spots. Preferably none.

1782
02:30:24,870 --> 02:30:27,750
Is it possible to come up with an option three?

1783
02:30:34,730 --> 02:30:43,130
But if we were to say develop a third one and table this to a next meeting, would that be

1784
02:30:43,130 --> 02:30:43,950
accommodable?

1785
02:30:44,810 --> 02:30:50,350
Again, the corridor, the features that are existing in the corridor, this doesn't make

1786
02:30:50,350 --> 02:30:57,730
it in a perfect corridor for class 4 or class 1, so class 2 may be the best option I

1787
02:30:57,730 --> 02:31:03,030
to keep it on the street parking as many as much as possible.

1788
02:31:03,670 --> 02:31:09,070
So just to make a comparison from a mayor and city council, if you look at the Merced Project,

1789
02:31:09,870 --> 02:31:16,010
that was a combination of many design options for that street, including Rodeite, and we were

1790
02:31:16,010 --> 02:31:18,650
able to put the bike lane off the street.

1791
02:31:19,170 --> 02:31:24,790
If we do that on San Anita, we would probably lose another lane of traffic on both sides,

1792
02:31:24,790 --> 02:31:27,710
And that wouldn't be acceptable.

1793
02:31:28,330 --> 02:31:29,290
Yeah, that would.

1794
02:31:29,290 --> 02:31:29,490
Yeah, that would.

1795
02:31:29,490 --> 02:31:30,450
And more expensive.

1796
02:31:31,090 --> 02:31:31,350
Yeah.

1797
02:31:34,820 --> 02:31:35,780
Better bear.

1798
02:31:37,580 --> 02:31:39,340
Frankly, I'd say no to this project.

1799
02:31:39,960 --> 02:31:41,700
There's no fiscal impact to us.

1800
02:31:42,160 --> 02:31:42,740
There is none.

1801
02:31:43,580 --> 02:31:46,480
I have gotten beat up on that project over.

1802
02:31:46,640 --> 02:31:50,220
I'm or said not only from residents, but from businesses.

1803
02:31:51,040 --> 02:31:51,880
I drive by there.

1804
02:31:53,500 --> 02:31:57,420
I've seen maybe two people biking in those lands on

1805
02:31:57,420 --> 02:32:02,520
said, Madam Mayor, members of the Council, and I tell you walk up and down there, that

1806
02:32:02,520 --> 02:32:04,340
corridor, and you ask any one of those residents.

1807
02:32:06,120 --> 02:32:09,800
My correct Mr. Rodriguez, they are upset, they are highly upset.

1808
02:32:10,900 --> 02:32:15,940
That major corridor there on Santa Anita, that's a major corridor.

1809
02:32:16,680 --> 02:32:21,360
So again, there is no, there's no financial impact to us, this is all fully funded here

1810
02:32:21,360 --> 02:32:28,940
I metro and my feeling is the street is perfectly fine the way it is right now.

1811
02:32:29,080 --> 02:32:32,540
We just need to repay it and maybe restripe it there.

1812
02:32:33,480 --> 02:32:37,820
IMS is one of our largest employers there in the city.

1813
02:32:38,200 --> 02:32:43,100
They do a tremendous amount of business here for us and employ a lot of people and I would

1814
02:32:43,940 --> 02:32:49,680
hate to inconvenience them in any way, particularly with a lot of their employees who park

1815
02:32:49,680 --> 02:32:51,660
or use that off-site park in there as well.

1816
02:32:53,240 --> 02:32:55,620
So, you know, Madam Mayor, frankly, you asked me,

1817
02:32:55,920 --> 02:32:58,420
I just say, thank you for the presentation,

1818
02:32:58,880 --> 02:33:01,640
but I'm not interested in this project here.

1819
02:33:03,940 --> 02:33:05,820
Madam Mayor, I'm actually getting a go ahead

1820
02:33:05,820 --> 02:33:09,860
and say, the Merced Project probably won me the election.

1821
02:33:10,440 --> 02:33:13,240
They were so upset every time I knocked on one

1822
02:33:13,240 --> 02:33:14,840
of those doors over and over again.

1823
02:33:15,080 --> 02:33:16,360
That was the biggest complaint

1824
02:33:16,360 --> 02:33:20,860
and I actually could show you pictures of residents sending me,

1825
02:33:20,860 --> 02:33:28,860
things that happened on Mercedes because of that project right there. When I say unhappy that that's a total

1826
02:33:28,860 --> 02:33:35,280
understatement so I'd have to agree with Mr. Delgado unless this is well thought out and I mean

1827
02:33:35,280 --> 02:33:40,680
well thought out. Mercedes was not well thought out based on the pictures and I'll show these pictures

1828
02:33:40,680 --> 02:33:47,600
after if anyone wants to see them. I mean there's cars stuck on curbs, teeter tottering and residents

1829
02:33:47,600 --> 02:33:52,500
are talking about how they can't make a turn in or what can we do can we put a big

1830
02:33:52,500 --> 02:33:57,880
old sign that says curb and all these things they come up with and the thing is we

1831
02:33:57,880 --> 02:34:05,520
can't go back. I wasn't a part of that plan but I know that I don't think we need what we

1832
02:34:05,520 --> 02:34:10,760
have three corridors to the freeway. We have Durfee, San Anita and Mercedes.

1833
02:34:15,220 --> 02:34:17,580
We already

1834
02:34:17,580 --> 02:34:24,900
cyclains. I don't see how taking our last one, which would be sunny and eat, it would be a smart thing to do.

1835
02:34:24,940 --> 02:34:29,560
People have to get to work. And if you're going to narrow this down to two lanes or even put

1836
02:34:29,560 --> 02:34:36,580
bike lanes where it's a little scarier, I would not be for that. And like I said, I'm going off of

1837
02:34:36,580 --> 02:34:42,240
what the residents told me about the Merced Project. Extremely unhappy. Thank you.

1838
02:34:45,660 --> 02:34:47,280
That's why we need an option 3.

1839
02:34:47,720 --> 02:34:52,060
If we can, maybe, concur with, within the budget, and maybe over with Renee, we can talk

1840
02:34:52,060 --> 02:34:58,060
about perhaps creating an option 3, where it's still safe for those who do bike, right?

1841
02:34:58,260 --> 02:35:04,640
And again, yeah, we know, I not done every door there too, and I took a lot of heat for that.

1842
02:35:04,960 --> 02:35:09,580
But the project the way we described it was not exactly how it came out.

1843
02:35:09,580 --> 02:35:16,780
And so, it did take away parking, it does, does not accommodate some of that turning.

1844
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:20,580
If you look at the turns or why turns, it's like, why do you have to go so far up?

1845
02:35:21,300 --> 02:35:27,640
So, yeah, there has been an accident, they did blame the new design for it.

1846
02:35:27,960 --> 02:35:39,560
I still can understand how the new design got blamed for it because the way they hit it, but it was a

1847
02:35:39,560 --> 02:35:46,000
So I would highly say just instead of just killing the whole project and not making it safe

1848
02:35:46,000 --> 02:35:51,710
Let's go back to the thinking part and let's redo something perhaps create an option three

1849
02:35:52,220 --> 02:35:56,640
Or it's still safe for the residents that are biking but more importantly

1850
02:35:56,640 --> 02:36:02,920
That serves our community that we have now present me and the businesses because we hear all the time

1851
02:36:02,920 --> 02:36:04,940
There's no parking here in Selthamani

1852
02:36:05,380 --> 02:36:10,720
We took a business with a 22 square foot, a 22,000 square foot, and maybe eight parking's

1853
02:36:10,720 --> 02:36:14,640
yeah, they're not going to be in a parking for your employees, so that's something that

1854
02:36:14,640 --> 02:36:20,840
we got to make sure that we accommodate, and I really hate to see after all the hard work

1855
02:36:20,840 --> 02:36:25,020
and I apologize that I know you guys probably did go through a lot of work, but we have to

1856
02:36:25,420 --> 02:36:30,940
see other options, neither one of these are going to complicate with our community, we're

1857
02:36:30,940 --> 02:36:36,000
to get a lot of heat for it, and I mean, I can take the heat don't get me wrong. But when they have

1858
02:36:37,260 --> 02:36:40,980
a point to what they're saying, I have to accommodate that and say hey wait a minute,

1859
02:36:41,080 --> 02:36:46,920
our job is to make sure we serve. And so if we can create a project 3, let's do that,

1860
02:36:47,140 --> 02:36:51,120
I'll be more than willing to put in the two cents and kind of describe what we're looking at to keep

1861
02:36:51,120 --> 02:36:56,280
our parking but keep it safe. If I made that something here, my mayor basically with

1862
02:36:56,280 --> 02:36:59,540
As a spike, when we are not changing the street configuration.

1863
02:37:00,020 --> 02:37:01,520
So we are just adding a striping.

1864
02:37:01,820 --> 02:37:05,400
So we'll be just a paper rehabilitation, brand new striping,

1865
02:37:05,500 --> 02:37:07,740
some signal improvement, traffic safety,

1866
02:37:07,940 --> 02:37:09,540
for pedestrian, AD improvement.

1867
02:37:10,620 --> 02:37:13,700
And we are keeping the existing mean nice tool

1868
02:37:13,700 --> 02:37:15,900
in each direction all along the corridor.

1869
02:37:16,180 --> 02:37:18,840
So that's a class for that you're referring to.

1870
02:37:18,920 --> 02:37:20,680
I'm not aware of mercy of a new project.

1871
02:37:21,400 --> 02:37:24,200
But the description is probably a different classification

1872
02:37:24,200 --> 02:37:29,960
of the bikeman. Class 2 is existing configuration. You're just adding a striping.

1873
02:37:32,420 --> 02:37:55,040
And we are losing minimal parking on a street parking. And there is a reason for that is the new state day lighting now. And there are some of the existing on a street parking spots that in the event today they are not standard. So they even, you know, have parking, marking in front of the fire hydrants in front of the driveway. So the 20 that we are losing is for that reason.

1874
02:37:56,600 --> 02:38:00,940
Also, the 21 that we're losing is because in front of fire hydrants and so forth.

1875
02:38:01,100 --> 02:38:05,720
Yeah, those are either understainers or not 20 feet long, so basically those are

1876
02:38:05,720 --> 02:38:10,840
substainers or they are marked in a wrong place, so they are either on the front of

1877
02:38:10,840 --> 02:38:17,740
the dryways and also the new state law that is a 20 feet daylighting now for intersections.

1878
02:38:17,740 --> 02:38:23,800
If we apply that today, which is a statewide law that was approved last year, that includes

1879
02:38:23,800 --> 02:38:28,420
at you. So we'll only lose 10% of the total parking with that option.

1880
02:38:29,640 --> 02:38:34,980
So Madam Mayor and City Council, we've heard all your concerns. We'll regroup and see

1881
02:38:34,980 --> 02:38:40,520
what we can come up with. It may delay the project a year or two. There's timelines on

1882
02:38:40,520 --> 02:38:46,260
this funding, but there are also other funding opportunities that come up through the regional

1883
02:38:46,260 --> 02:38:53,360
measure M. So we will take a look to see what we can. Maybe we can phase it in into sections.

1884
02:38:54,840 --> 02:38:56,140
But we'll take a look.

1885
02:38:56,540 --> 02:38:59,380
May I ask a question on the last statement there? Sure.

1886
02:38:59,920 --> 02:39:06,960
So you just said that there's a new state law and that's what is limiting the number or taking away the parking spots.

1887
02:39:07,620 --> 02:39:12,780
So are you saying because of this law, even if we don't restripe or create a bike lane,

1888
02:39:12,780 --> 02:39:14,700
We still have to adhere to this law,

1889
02:39:14,840 --> 02:39:16,240
and we're still going to lose 20 parking spots.

1890
02:39:16,580 --> 02:39:17,000
That's correct.

1891
02:39:17,220 --> 02:39:19,180
So based on this, Nielna, that was probably

1892
02:39:19,180 --> 02:39:21,680
2020, four is called Daylighting.

1893
02:39:21,680 --> 02:39:24,520
The last 20 feet of every intersection approach.

1894
02:39:25,440 --> 02:39:27,460
There's no honest street parking allowed.

1895
02:39:28,380 --> 02:39:29,640
That's all the cities in California.

1896
02:39:30,760 --> 02:39:31,900
OK, thank you.

1897
02:39:32,080 --> 02:39:33,180
Yes, I'm sorry.

1898
02:39:33,560 --> 02:39:37,480
Well, we will lose some parking no matter what design we choose.

1899
02:39:38,160 --> 02:39:40,360
Because of it, it's a street reconstruction project.

1900
02:39:42,160 --> 02:39:48,480
Yeah, and that's kind of my point, I mean, if we're not going to lose any lanes, we're

1901
02:39:48,480 --> 02:39:53,520
not, we're going to lose parking anyways, so going with that first option where we just

1902
02:39:53,520 --> 02:39:59,200
have the one bike lane right next to the car is probably the most feasible, but at the end

1903
02:39:59,200 --> 02:40:03,980
of the day it's just paint, right? It's just a white stripe going down the road, so.

1904
02:40:03,980 --> 02:40:06,220
And that we can live with.

1905
02:40:06,640 --> 02:40:07,480
It's not good or not.

1906
02:40:07,520 --> 02:40:09,060
That's what we're going to do it anyway.

1907
02:40:12,350 --> 02:40:15,110
I do want to call the attention to council members and Mayor.

1908
02:40:15,630 --> 02:40:16,530
That's option two.

1909
02:40:16,670 --> 02:40:19,310
So as you can see, we do keep all four lanes are turning lane.

1910
02:40:20,310 --> 02:40:23,890
And then along with the parking and the bike lane.

1911
02:40:25,150 --> 02:40:28,290
And if you go to the one before that was even more.

1912
02:40:28,870 --> 02:40:32,370
It's it even minimized more the bike lane.

1913
02:40:32,370 --> 02:40:38,530
Giving more on the car lane, which is I think what we're in favor of this with an option correct

1914
02:40:38,530 --> 02:40:41,470
More wrong. This is where we lose the most parking spaces

1915
02:40:42,050 --> 02:40:44,570
We would lose 99 here whereas option

1916
02:40:44,570 --> 02:40:49,930
Yeah, this is option number one, but an option number two you gave three definitions and in the very first definition on top of the slide

1917
02:40:49,930 --> 02:40:55,450
If you go to the definitions slide right there. See the top line the top of the figure

1918
02:40:56,290 --> 02:41:00,750
You have one basically one stripe of two stripes that create the bike lane

1919
02:41:01,610 --> 02:41:06,330
And according to the presentation, we won't be losing any car lanes.

1920
02:41:08,210 --> 02:41:13,830
We don't increase the bike path by that third stripe in the middle picture.

1921
02:41:15,230 --> 02:41:17,410
So we're definitely minimizing on that top picture.

1922
02:41:19,390 --> 02:41:20,650
And it's important.

1923
02:41:21,290 --> 02:41:30,330
So the top picture, if I may add a top picture, it's from Viver all the way to the north city and the middle picture is from Viver all the way to Merset.

1924
02:41:30,330 --> 02:41:38,330
I'm both of some of our clients, you know, but both you're not losing honestly parking other than you know what you have to you based on the new state.

1925
02:41:38,610 --> 02:41:46,450
Okay, so based on that same and what's the purpose of having lane north of weaver and south of weaver?

1926
02:41:46,950 --> 02:41:51,330
The existing curb to curb distance is different between the two with it.

1927
02:41:52,330 --> 02:41:57,570
So the car lane stays the same. The car with the car lane stays the same.

1928
02:41:57,570 --> 02:42:02,390
So the street, white ends, so that allows you to put another three feet of basically

1929
02:42:02,390 --> 02:42:02,950
sign up.

1930
02:42:03,450 --> 02:42:08,010
You have a standard lanes and standard parking lanes and also a bike lane.

1931
02:42:08,410 --> 02:42:12,870
So it's a striping and plus pavement we have, we're adding some raised medians to the

1932
02:42:12,870 --> 02:42:18,930
center, some landscape item, a new monument for the city, so all those are part of the

1933
02:42:18,930 --> 02:42:19,430
project.

1934
02:42:20,790 --> 02:42:21,590
All right.

1935
02:42:21,830 --> 02:42:24,810
See, my question was, kind of like what you put it out?

1936
02:42:24,810 --> 02:42:31,010
The first one, in picture, why can't we just put the guy on the right side of the car instead of on the left side of the car?

1937
02:42:31,530 --> 02:42:34,990
If you put it on the right side, it will be the turret option on the bottom.

1938
02:42:36,070 --> 02:42:41,510
So that's the cost for. So the top one is the bottom one is the plus four.

1939
02:42:42,110 --> 02:42:45,910
And that's the major change. That's the option that we'll lose almost all the time.

1940
02:42:46,310 --> 02:42:49,010
I don't want to. Okay. I got you. I understood.

1941
02:42:49,790 --> 02:42:55,010
So we'll take a look at it and come back with another recommendation.

1942
02:42:55,430 --> 02:43:00,610
Well, we're willing to really look at it and wait if we're going to have to do it anyway.

1943
02:43:01,270 --> 02:43:03,950
We don't want to lose a money. If we have to do it anyway.

1944
02:43:05,190 --> 02:43:11,530
So maybe we might consider possibly getting it done without losing our money.

1945
02:43:11,890 --> 02:43:15,730
So if we come back with an A, I don't know the time when we lose the money.

1946
02:43:15,730 --> 02:43:18,590
What is the deadline on this project?

1947
02:43:19,230 --> 02:43:20,350
The funding source deadline?

1948
02:43:21,430 --> 02:43:22,930
The funding source deadline.

1949
02:43:23,110 --> 02:43:28,050
We have two cycles, cycle 1 and cycle 3, measure M and SP funds.

1950
02:43:29,050 --> 02:43:34,890
So essentially the first cycle we have time until at least a couple more years

1951
02:43:34,890 --> 02:43:38,490
to finalize the design and start construction.

1952
02:43:38,790 --> 02:43:39,750
So we have some time.

1953
02:43:39,750 --> 02:43:46,250
I mean, I can, we have another at least one more year to finalize the design because these

1954
02:43:46,250 --> 02:43:51,730
are state funds, these are not federal funds, so the requirements are not as stringent,

1955
02:43:52,630 --> 02:43:54,590
so we have some time basically.

1956
02:43:55,330 --> 02:43:56,290
Okay, we have time.

1957
02:43:56,470 --> 02:43:57,230
We'll go ahead and table it.

1958
02:43:57,850 --> 02:43:59,010
Maybe to the next meeting.

1959
02:44:01,070 --> 02:44:01,390
I'm sorry.

1960
02:44:01,390 --> 02:44:02,150
A little bit more March.

1961
02:44:03,290 --> 02:44:03,910
A little bit more.

1962
02:44:03,990 --> 02:44:04,770
Kai, come on, Renee.

1963
02:44:05,950 --> 02:44:06,490
All right, March.

1964
02:44:06,510 --> 02:44:07,270
Give me enough time.

1965
02:44:08,010 --> 02:44:09,030
Yes, I think so for air.

1966
02:44:09,030 --> 02:44:14,850
that march you guys okay with that yeah okay for revisited march thank you gentlemen

1967
02:44:14,850 --> 02:44:19,150
thank you thank you madam my grace for five minute resuscitation

1968
02:44:19,150 --> 02:44:21,850
yeah I agree five minute resuscitation

1969
02:53:11,900 --> 02:53:13,660
I'll go down and call that.

1970
02:53:15,880 --> 02:53:18,780
Next up we have a presentation design option. Oh, wait, I think we just did.

1971
02:53:18,980 --> 02:53:27,680
Yeah, we just did. We did 90, huh? 90 be continued from January 14th, regular city council meeting or commission.

1972
02:53:34,220 --> 02:53:36,820
So if you guys don't mind, I'm going to go ahead and read out the names.

1973
02:53:37,240 --> 02:53:44,860
Madam Mayor, before we begin. Go ahead. We have a lot of applicants for clarification. I want to make sure that we lay down.

1974
02:53:44,860 --> 02:53:47,760
what the process will be first.

1975
02:53:47,780 --> 02:53:48,720
That's what I was about to do.

1976
02:53:49,680 --> 02:53:51,120
Before we even begin,

1977
02:53:51,940 --> 02:53:54,260
and what I'd like to do is

1978
02:53:54,860 --> 02:53:58,660
make this an informed motion that each individual member up on this board

1979
02:53:58,660 --> 02:54:05,140
have one nomination per commission.

1980
02:54:05,860 --> 02:54:08,900
So for example, if we're starting with the women's commission,

1981
02:54:10,160 --> 02:54:13,880
that a domination be made for a particular candidate,

1982
02:54:13,880 --> 02:54:16,160
And then we vote on that particular candidate.

1983
02:54:16,400 --> 02:54:19,960
If that candidate receives three affirmative votes,

1984
02:54:20,880 --> 02:54:28,080
they will be elected or put on that particular body.

1985
02:54:29,620 --> 02:54:32,960
So with that, I'd like to make sure that we follow, again,

1986
02:54:33,040 --> 02:54:35,720
the process that is transparent, and a process

1987
02:54:35,720 --> 02:54:38,080
that is fair that allows each individual member

1988
02:54:38,080 --> 02:54:49,180
appear to nominate whoever they feel would best fill that vacancy for every one of these

1989
02:54:50,240 --> 02:54:50,680
commissions.

1990
02:54:50,680 --> 02:54:51,000
Okay.

1991
02:54:52,120 --> 02:54:55,440
So I'd like to make that in full promotion that we follow that process.

1992
02:54:55,780 --> 02:54:57,700
I have a question on the process.

1993
02:54:58,120 --> 02:55:00,640
I think that makes it a little more equitable.

1994
02:55:01,400 --> 02:55:05,100
So with the process B, for example, Madam Mayor starts with one, make a nomination.

1995
02:55:05,280 --> 02:55:07,260
We vote on that and then we move down the line.

1996
02:55:07,820 --> 02:55:13,180
That would be, and if we don't get one by the end of the line, then we go back this way and keep coming this way.

1997
02:55:13,500 --> 02:55:17,320
That would be the equitable thing to do. You start at one end and go down to the other.

1998
02:55:18,160 --> 02:55:20,960
But with that gentleman, I'm going to let's, you know, I'd like to read all the names.

1999
02:55:21,380 --> 02:55:22,260
There's a motion.

2000
02:55:22,280 --> 02:55:23,320
And then we get to the back.

2001
02:55:23,340 --> 02:55:24,060
Can I get a second?

2002
02:55:24,060 --> 02:55:24,840
Go back and vote.

2003
02:55:25,340 --> 02:55:26,640
I'll second that process.

2004
02:55:27,240 --> 02:55:29,940
I'd like to call for the question on that particular processor.

2005
02:55:41,090 --> 02:55:41,770
It's four to one.

2006
02:55:42,830 --> 02:55:44,010
And I'll tell you why he said no.

2007
02:55:44,010 --> 02:55:48,090
because in the past when we haven't read all the names, I get the calls.

2008
02:55:48,370 --> 02:55:51,210
You even call out my name. I said, I was reading down the list.

2009
02:55:51,570 --> 02:55:53,890
If whoever got the first five, that's not my fault.

2010
02:55:54,550 --> 02:55:57,710
So that's why I asked again if we can read all the names.

2011
02:55:58,250 --> 02:56:00,590
And then we'll go back and start to choose,

2012
02:56:00,910 --> 02:56:02,710
so just to read the purportable clarification,

2013
02:56:03,190 --> 02:56:05,470
to read the names as a whole.

2014
02:56:05,830 --> 02:56:09,010
Yes. And then to go back to nominations. Correct.

2015
02:56:10,920 --> 02:56:12,360
Yeah. Yeah.

2016
02:56:12,700 --> 02:56:14,320
Are you gentlemen okay with that?

2017
02:56:14,320 --> 02:56:23,100
You can read out the names but you can, again at that time, you can make your nomination for one specific

2018
02:56:23,740 --> 02:56:25,160
for that particular board.

2019
02:56:26,260 --> 02:56:26,340
Okay.

2020
02:56:26,720 --> 02:56:30,520
Madam Mayor, before we move forward, I have two things that I want to talk about real quick.

2021
02:56:31,600 --> 02:56:37,940
So on two of the commissions we have criteria around seniors and around youth.

2022
02:56:38,640 --> 02:56:43,640
And I think since I've been on, we can go back to 2017 when I was on the Community Services Commission.

2023
02:56:43,640 --> 02:56:47,980
And we never had enough applicants to feel those criterias.

2024
02:56:48,540 --> 02:56:52,300
And ever since, even last year, the last couple years that we've picked, we haven't had that.

2025
02:56:52,660 --> 02:57:00,220
So what I like to do is make a motion that we remove those criterias going forward and pick

2026
02:57:00,220 --> 02:57:02,680
off of the list that we have.

2027
02:57:03,360 --> 02:57:09,900
And then ask staff to bring that back at our next meeting so we can change the ordinance

2028
02:57:09,900 --> 02:57:10,300
on that.

2029
02:57:10,320 --> 02:57:11,880
So I'd like to make a motion for that.

2030
02:57:12,080 --> 02:57:12,220
Second.

2031
02:57:12,920 --> 02:57:16,520
So, if we do that, then we're tabling this to the next meeting.

2032
02:57:17,660 --> 02:57:22,560
It would be removing the criteria for these two groups.

2033
02:57:22,920 --> 02:57:28,180
It's the only age limited groups is the advancement of women in girls' commission

2034
02:57:28,180 --> 02:57:30,500
and the community service commissioners.

2035
02:57:30,740 --> 02:57:34,100
So, we would remove those limitations for this meeting,

2036
02:57:34,480 --> 02:57:39,100
an interaction for staff to come back and adopt an ordinance to formalize.

2037
02:57:39,100 --> 02:57:46,600
So, either way, even if we get the diverse system, we're not going to tell them all, you didn't make that age cut or we're removed that age cut.

2038
02:57:46,900 --> 02:57:53,280
Well, a big part of the meta-mares for the community, I mean, for the Women's Commission, the youth has to be a 16 or 17-year-old kid.

2039
02:57:53,500 --> 02:57:57,120
I mean, we don't have that, and we're going to wait until we get a 16 or 17-year-old kid.

2040
02:57:57,560 --> 02:58:04,100
And if we do, are they, you know, we're going to have to go find somebody that's not going to want to show up and really be part of it?

2041
02:58:04,100 --> 02:58:10,100
And also I think it's better that we just go off the list of people that we have that want to be part of our commissions that rather than having to

2042
02:58:10,900 --> 02:58:14,340
table this and reopen it to try to get people within those criteria.

2043
02:58:14,660 --> 02:58:20,680
It's been put out already to the public and we didn't get the criteria we never have.

2044
02:58:20,760 --> 02:58:22,020
You know, in the last, I don't know how many years.

2045
02:58:22,280 --> 02:58:23,140
Like I said, we have.

2046
02:58:23,480 --> 02:58:25,020
Last two years we've been for the women's commission.

2047
02:58:25,260 --> 02:58:26,500
We actually had the youth.

2048
02:58:26,620 --> 02:58:28,460
We had two high schoolers on youth.

2049
02:58:28,580 --> 02:58:30,220
They didn't say much, but yeah, we had them.

2050
02:58:30,220 --> 02:58:35,000
I can't remember that, but I know we didn't have for the community services commission.

2051
02:58:35,280 --> 02:58:36,320
So it's kind of all or nothing.

2052
02:58:36,560 --> 02:58:39,540
It's either we do it all or we do, or we do none of it.

2053
02:58:39,880 --> 02:58:42,220
And like I said to the, you know,

2054
02:58:42,220 --> 02:58:43,800
I agree with you.

2055
02:58:43,960 --> 02:58:48,820
I think I would like to see a change a little bit because we can choose a younger person or not.

2056
02:58:49,080 --> 02:58:49,780
That's fine.

2057
02:58:51,060 --> 02:58:56,400
But I'm saying as far as whom we choose now because it is an ordinance now.

2058
02:58:57,000 --> 02:58:57,260
It shouldn't.

2059
02:58:57,260 --> 02:59:07,320
It doesn't matter. Like we're not going to stay for instance. We choose whatever age group and then we say okay, you to meet that criteria. You're off. We're not going to do that, right?

2060
02:59:07,680 --> 02:59:10,780
Correct. The motion on the floor is to remove those limitations.

2061
02:59:11,700 --> 02:59:18,220
So, so it wouldn't matter who we chose. Right. Right. They don't have to be a senior or 16.

2062
02:59:18,980 --> 02:59:22,140
And bring it back and bring back next meeting to change the ordinance.

2063
02:59:22,140 --> 02:59:28,720
I'm going to ask for clarification, even though we don't meet those criteria, we still get five people on the commission.

2064
02:59:30,300 --> 02:59:36,660
So we would ideally like some girls to be on the girls commission or women's commission.

2065
02:59:36,900 --> 02:59:40,840
We ideally would like an older folks to be in there as well.

2066
02:59:41,080 --> 02:59:46,720
We value their opinions, but it doesn't limit the number of commissioners.

2067
02:59:46,720 --> 02:59:57,660
So in other words, if we have one under 16 and one over 60 and there's a commission of five and if we don't fill those two criteria, we don't end up with three commissioners.

2068
02:59:57,780 --> 02:59:58,580
We still end up with five commissioners.

2069
02:59:58,580 --> 02:59:59,680
We're just taking away the criteria.

2070
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:05,300
Pick off the list that we have five commissioners off the list that we have for that particular commission.

2071
03:00:05,720 --> 03:00:11,180
But we can still fill the five commissioners, even if we don't get a 16 year old or a 60 year old.

2072
03:00:11,460 --> 03:00:14,420
Yeah, that's a point of taking the criteria away.

2073
03:00:14,640 --> 03:00:20,280
No, no, but we can still create a commission without them. Even the criteria is in place, we can still have a commission.

2074
03:00:21,640 --> 03:00:24,940
That's the way it's been, right? I mean, it's been like that for many years.

2075
03:00:24,940 --> 03:00:32,180
We're actually seeing the same thing, yes, I think they're in different ways we're seeing the same pool.

2076
03:00:32,400 --> 03:00:34,460
You're choosing from the same pool of applicants.

2077
03:00:35,200 --> 03:00:38,740
So, Madam Mayor, real quick, for one more clarification.

2078
03:00:39,360 --> 03:00:41,760
So, you're going to read off every one's name, just to read it off.

2079
03:00:41,780 --> 03:00:42,920
For all those implied, yes.

2080
03:00:43,120 --> 03:00:46,700
And then we're going to do the nominations for that.

2081
03:00:46,940 --> 03:00:48,180
We have a first and a second.

2082
03:00:48,180 --> 03:00:57,000
Yeah. We have a first and a second motion to eliminate the the age limitations. So if you'd like to

2083
03:00:57,000 --> 03:01:02,100
sit a click like to call roll call for the first. I'm sorry he does have an interaction for staff to come

2084
03:01:02,100 --> 03:01:08,360
back at the next meeting to get for council to consider more than it's

2085
03:01:11,530 --> 03:01:13,070
for motion carries for one zero.

2086
03:01:14,070 --> 03:01:18,490
One of the thing Madam Mayor, I want to bring up and I like to get input from the council. I know

2087
03:01:18,490 --> 03:01:23,290
historically we've had on our Community Services Commission seven commissioners and we did

2088
03:01:23,290 --> 03:01:29,410
move that to a five and I think with the amount of commissioners that we have now, I would

2089
03:01:29,410 --> 03:01:35,610
like to make a motion to move that commission back to a seven person commission now that we're

2090
03:01:35,610 --> 03:01:40,870
taking away the criteria and that we can get a little more input from our community with a seven

2091
03:01:42,770 --> 03:01:43,890
person commission.

2092
03:01:44,390 --> 03:01:52,050
I second that you know what if you have a seven just keep in mind we have to meet somewhere else

2093
03:01:52,050 --> 03:02:00,030
they can't meet here because they didn't fit here the last time. That's what we changed it back to it was.

2094
03:02:01,070 --> 03:02:06,150
Sorry madam, for clarification what commission is this this is for the community services commission

2095
03:02:06,150 --> 03:02:13,230
and then I also ask with that motion that we bring that back in two weeks tell also change the ordinance as well as the other motion.

2096
03:02:13,230 --> 03:02:13,710
Thank you,

2097
03:02:36,520 --> 03:02:36,520
sir.

2098
03:02:36,900 --> 03:02:40,500
One abstention from the mayor, and we have everybody with her kiss, yes.

2099
03:02:40,540 --> 03:02:41,680
Mania Costa, no.

2100
03:02:41,980 --> 03:02:43,020
Pector delgado, yes.

2101
03:02:43,360 --> 03:02:44,360
Larry Rodriguez, yes.

2102
03:02:44,880 --> 03:02:45,580
Three, one, one.

2103
03:02:55,020 --> 03:02:55,800
What is this one for?

2104
03:02:57,720 --> 03:02:58,400
I think it was an error.

2105
03:02:59,440 --> 03:03:01,580
I think we're back to reading the names.

2106
03:03:01,960 --> 03:03:02,580
Sorry, it's an error.

2107
03:03:03,500 --> 03:03:03,680
Okay.

2108
03:03:05,000 --> 03:03:05,660
That was like, wait a minute.

2109
03:03:06,300 --> 03:03:06,920
That's okay.

2110
03:03:07,200 --> 03:03:11,320
So you're currently back into the names for the women's and girls, sir.

2111
03:03:11,560 --> 03:03:11,840
Okay.

2112
03:03:12,200 --> 03:03:15,820
So for the women's commission, we'll go to start.

2113
03:03:15,820 --> 03:03:24,120
We had Linda Miramontes, Christina Fonseca, L.A. Strong, Evelyn Pustos, Henson, Denise Silva,

2114
03:03:24,300 --> 03:03:29,760
Darning Soto, Nidia Romero, Evelyn Brianias, Cindy, Igwin, Elizabeth Gutierrez,

2115
03:03:29,940 --> 03:03:32,620
Karina Marillo, and Sarah Aguiano,

2116
03:03:36,570 --> 03:03:38,070
so with that I like to make the first nomination

2117
03:03:38,070 --> 03:03:40,410
for Linda Miramontes,

2118
03:03:46,160 --> 03:03:47,260
can I get the boat?

2119
03:03:59,450 --> 03:04:02,650
Or almost yes, Rudy Bohrkes, no?

2120
03:05:18,680 --> 03:05:19,880
Mayor abstaining.

2121
03:05:26,650 --> 03:05:28,830
I'd like to make a nomination for Alistairong.

2122
03:05:40,750 --> 03:05:41,270
Five O.

2123
03:05:45,040 --> 03:05:45,860
Mr. Costa.

2124
03:05:47,020 --> 03:05:48,640
I'd like to nominate Christina Fonseca.

2125
03:05:58,020 --> 03:05:58,480
Five O.

2126
03:06:05,540 --> 03:06:06,260
Go back to me again.

2127
03:06:07,340 --> 03:06:10,020
I'd like to nominate

2128
03:06:14,660 --> 03:06:15,780
Darlene Soto.

2129
03:06:30,660 --> 03:06:32,860
Gloria, yes. Rudy, no.

2130
03:06:33,320 --> 03:06:35,820
Man, yes. Hector and there, you know.

2131
03:06:37,380 --> 03:06:38,380
Three, two, well.

2132
03:06:38,840 --> 03:06:39,500
Oops, wrong one.

2133
03:06:46,420 --> 03:06:49,300
I'd like to nominate the other brionises?

2134
03:06:50,100 --> 03:06:50,800
What did you say?

2135
03:06:50,940 --> 03:06:52,160
Is she related to Leo Brionis?

2136
03:06:54,420 --> 03:06:54,940
Do you know?

2137
03:06:55,140 --> 03:06:56,020
She related to who?

2138
03:06:56,100 --> 03:06:56,980
Leo Brionis?

2139
03:06:57,500 --> 03:06:58,140
Brionis family?

2140
03:06:59,520 --> 03:07:00,160
I don't know.

2141
03:07:00,320 --> 03:07:01,060
I don't know.

2142
03:07:02,280 --> 03:07:03,260
But that's what I'm nominating.

2143
03:07:14,380 --> 03:07:15,820
For one, mayor abstaining.

2144
03:07:25,910 --> 03:07:26,050
Hector?

2145
03:07:27,050 --> 03:07:27,870
I think that's five minutes.

2146
03:07:27,870 --> 03:07:28,210
That's five minutes.

2147
03:07:29,010 --> 03:07:29,450
Oh, I'm sorry.

2148
03:07:41,340 --> 03:07:56,420
All righty. So congratulations. We have some of them already. So we have in correct me if I'm wrong, please. We got Christina Fonseca, Alice Strong, darling, no, she didn't get it.

2149
03:07:58,760 --> 03:08:03,600
Evelyn Brianis, Elizabeth Gutierrez,

2150
03:08:06,830 --> 03:08:09,110
and Sarah Gata Aguiano.

2151
03:08:09,250 --> 03:08:10,190
Correct, correct.

2152
03:08:10,410 --> 03:08:11,110
Okay, that's fine.

2153
03:08:12,170 --> 03:08:12,450
Got it.

2154
03:08:12,690 --> 03:08:12,990
Thank you.

2155
03:08:22,400 --> 03:08:26,260
Next up, we have for the community service.

2156
03:08:27,740 --> 03:08:28,660
Once again, I'll read the names.

2157
03:08:29,600 --> 03:08:36,440
It's Rosio, Ingrid Aguilar, Hortensea Vasquez, Jerry Diaz, Salvador Ramirez, Nidia Romero,

2158
03:08:36,440 --> 03:08:41,720
Darning Soto, Denise Silva, George Aguiano, Robert Bacera, Sending Aguin,

2159
03:08:43,940 --> 03:08:45,520
yeah, that's it.

2160
03:08:45,940 --> 03:08:50,460
And before we vote on this one, just to let you know, I spoke to staff, they love the fact

2161
03:08:50,460 --> 03:08:55,020
of our commissioners the ones they have right now, because they showed up to do many different

2162
03:08:55,020 --> 03:08:59,480
functions and stuff, and they helped. They actually participate in. Fourth of July, they were

2163
03:08:59,480 --> 03:09:09,390
handing out things, excuse me. Fourth of July, they were there for handing out things and some of

2164
03:09:09,390 --> 03:09:13,630
really thankful for the community service people that we have already. So with that being said,

2165
03:09:13,770 --> 03:09:18,170
we're going to go ahead. I just read the names. The first one I'll choose is Israel Lossio.

2166
03:09:28,560 --> 03:09:31,180
Five o'clock.

2167
03:09:34,490 --> 03:09:37,550
Larry. On nominate. Jerry or T's.

2168
03:09:40,450 --> 03:09:44,930
There's no Jerry or T's on this. Jerry D's. Jerry D's.

2169
03:09:45,230 --> 03:09:45,230

Three, two.

2184
03:11:05,670 --> 03:11:06,810
It's not like we didn't see that coming.

2185
03:11:07,370 --> 03:11:07,810
Let's

2186
03:11:10,660 --> 03:11:10,980
see.

2187
03:11:11,040 --> 03:11:12,060
Coming back to me.

2188
03:11:14,620 --> 03:11:15,060

03:11:17,890 --> 03:11:19,170
Um, Ingrid Aguilar.

03:11:33,420 --> 03:11:34,580

2194
03:11:38,260 --> 03:11:38,780
3,

2195
03:11:45,360 --> 03:11:48,440
2. I'd like to nominate Denise Silva.

2196
03:11:58,170 --> 03:11:59,250
5, 0.

2197
03:12:02,280 --> 03:12:04,000
I'd like to nominate Georgian Giano.

2198
03:12:04,500 --> 03:12:07,200
Well, then I think that's our 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4,

2199
03:12:09,280 --> 03:12:09,280

03:12:09,560 --> 03:12:10,400
Or a point you seven already.

2201
03:12:13,240 --> 03:12:13,360
Okay.

2202
03:12:14,860 --> 03:12:17,460
We don't have to have it in resolution 3, 4, we do that.

2203
03:12:20,770 --> 03:12:21,470
You know, or you know.

2204
03:12:21,830 --> 03:12:26,410
So it's a motion that passes, coming back towards the next meeting is the amendment to the ordinance.

2205
03:12:26,410 --> 03:12:34,130
So since the motion pass to allow the change for 5 to 7, that's applicable to the current.

2206
03:12:34,610 --> 03:12:34,610
Okay,

2207
03:12:38,020 --> 03:12:38,940
so with that, I'm sorry.

2208
03:12:39,160 --> 03:12:39,800
Who was that again?

03:12:48,510 --> 03:12:49,970

On nominate Hortensia Vasquez.

2213
03:13:08,990 --> 03:13:09,270
Bible.

2214
03:13:14,490 --> 03:13:15,950
That's seven right to correct.

2215
03:13:16,890 --> 03:13:18,490
I think this time I marked it.

2216
03:13:20,150 --> 03:13:24,450
Already moving on, we have the point for the patriotic commission.

2217
03:13:24,450 --> 03:13:25,590

03:13:32,980 --> 03:13:38,980

Thank you,

2222
03:13:55,300 --> 03:13:55,300

2224
03:14:00,340 --> 03:14:03,520
Okay, moving on, patriotic commission.

2225
03:14:06,210 --> 03:14:08,030
I'd like to nominate Naomi Lopez.

2226
03:14:09,050 --> 03:14:10,650
Madam Mayor, are you going to read the name?

2227
03:14:10,650 --> 03:14:12,910
I'm sorry, thank you, yes sir.

2228
03:14:14,310 --> 03:14:16,650
That's what I did before I got the other ones.

2229
03:14:17,290 --> 03:14:18,790
Okay, we're going to go with Patriotic Commission,

Media Romero, and Robert Pissera.

2234
03:14:31,690 --> 03:14:34,410
But Robert Pissera was chosen right for another one.

2235
03:14:36,010 --> 03:14:37,070
So he's off the list?

2236
03:14:37,170 --> 03:14:39,230
Yes, he'd be taken off.

2237
03:14:39,230 --> 03:14:41,170
So, yeah.

2238
03:14:46,480 --> 03:14:48,520

Oh, let me, I hit the wrong one, can I change it?

2245
03:15:30,710 --> 03:15:33,130
Maybe you can, let me, my apologies.

2246
03:15:33,210 --> 03:15:37,370
That's the reset, I'm going to reset the vote and go ahead and revote again.

2247
03:15:44,570 --> 03:15:45,010
Fivell.

03:15:45,790 --> 03:15:47,550

2256
03:16:31,770 --> 03:16:32,830
We'll go Victor Montiel.

2257
03:16:44,690 --> 03:16:45,210
5 home.

2258
03:16:46,310 --> 03:16:47,370
Yes, we're 5.

2259
03:16:48,590 --> 03:16:49,270
That's 5 more.

2260
03:16:51,520 --> 03:17:00,860
Okay, we have Blanca Figura, Naomi Lopez, Alex Miramonte, Victor Montiel, and Nidia Romero for the Patriotic Commission.

2261
03:17:06,260 --> 03:17:08,300
Okay, then, for that's all of them.

2262
03:17:08,300 --> 03:17:09,000
We

2263
03:17:15,270 --> 03:17:16,750
did that a lot faster than that.

2264
03:17:17,630 --> 03:17:17,770
All right.

2265
03:17:18,250 --> 03:17:18,730
One more.

2266
03:17:18,730 --> 03:17:19,310
Madam Mayor.

2267
03:17:19,570 --> 03:17:19,730
Which one?

2268
03:17:19,750 --> 03:17:20,470
The final commission.

2269
03:17:21,990 --> 03:17:23,250
All the exact first.

2270
03:17:23,670 --> 03:17:24,150
There we go.

2271
03:17:24,610 --> 03:17:25,090
Okay. The names.

2272
03:17:25,290 --> 03:17:25,750

Excuse me, Lars.

03:17:31,410 --> 03:17:31,810

2280
03:17:33,650 --> 03:17:34,190

2281
03:17:34,530 --> 03:17:35,690
Denise was.

2282
03:17:36,190 --> 03:17:36,590
I'm one of them.

2283
03:17:36,690 --> 03:17:37,790
So you can take that one out.

2284
03:17:38,050 --> 03:17:38,530
Eric Hernandez.

2285
03:17:38,850 --> 03:17:39,390
Robert Bessera.

2286
03:17:39,610 --> 03:17:40,490
Take his off.

2287
03:17:43,050 --> 03:17:43,130
Great.

2288
03:17:43,130 --> 03:17:47,730
the most hijack in Rubio, Rudy Lejia, and Eric Velasquez.

2289
03:17:49,350 --> 03:17:50,710
All nominated Leo Brero.

2290

Mr. Costa?

2291
03:18:06,780 --> 03:18:07,580
You're cool.

2292
03:18:07,940 --> 03:18:08,820
Oh, okay.

2293
03:18:09,200 --> 03:18:10,460
I like to nominate Leo Brero.

2294
03:18:11,480 --> 03:18:12,040
We voted for you.

2295
03:18:12,040 --> 03:18:12,540
On the screen.

2296
03:18:13,120 --> 03:18:13,840
Oh, okay.

2297
03:18:14,720 --> 03:18:14,780
Okay.

2298
03:18:14,780 --> 03:18:15,580
Thank you.

2299
03:18:15,960 --> 03:18:17,180
Got it.

2300
03:18:17,360 --> 03:18:18,020
Five-oh.

2301
03:18:20,430 --> 03:18:20,770
Larry?

2302
03:18:21,630 --> 03:18:24,390
I would like to nominate Jeff Ortiz.

2303
03:18:33,330 --> 03:18:34,090
Five-oh.

2304
03:18:35,550 --> 03:18:35,750
Actor?

2305
03:18:35,750 --> 03:18:38,670

2307

2308
03:18:58,790 --> 03:19:01,030
I will nominate Jackie Rubio.

2309
03:19:12,120 --> 03:19:17,960
32. Gloria No. Rudy S. Manino, Hector S. Lari S.

2310
03:19:24,210 --> 03:19:26,510
I'd like to nominate Kenneth Tang.

2311
03:19:43,300 --> 03:19:43,780

It's 1-2-3-4.

2313
03:19:49,690 --> 03:19:50,530

2314
03:19:51,910 --> 03:19:55,910
So, for clarification, we have Neo-Brahara, Jennifer T's,

2315
03:19:56,950 --> 03:19:59,870
the gracious of the most hijacky Rubio.

2316
03:20:00,310 --> 03:20:02,690
I'm going to see you one, too.

2317
03:20:02,830 --> 03:20:03,090
Do you want to?

2318
03:20:03,130 --> 03:20:03,350
Do you want to?

2319
03:20:03,490 --> 03:20:04,130
In Kennedy.

2320
03:20:04,890 --> 03:20:05,870
Excuse me, Kennedy.

2321
03:20:19,120 --> 03:20:22,040
Congratulations to our new commissioners.

2322
03:20:24,780 --> 03:20:27,660
And moving on to the nine and

2323
03:20:33,770 --> 03:20:34,350
nine G.

2324
03:20:40,880 --> 03:20:43,340
Oh, nine F consideration and approval of resolution

2325
03:20:43,340 --> 03:20:50,340
and 25.010 amending resolution 1769 and the rules of order to change the dates, regular city council meetings,

2326
03:20:52,700 --> 03:20:55,460
community service commissions, meetings, and planning commission meetings.

2327
03:20:56,240 --> 03:21:00,540
Before we vote on this, I just want to state a little something.

2328
03:21:02,500 --> 03:21:08,520
I think it's really highly irregular and especially in particular that council member has been here for 22 years.

2329
03:21:08,640 --> 03:21:11,980
So he knows we always have meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month.

2330
03:21:11,980 --> 03:21:18,600
If he wanted to self-improve himself, which I highly commanded, by the way, I think that's great,

2331
03:21:18,740 --> 03:21:22,420
but you should know already what dates you're really committed to, because with this,

2332
03:21:22,520 --> 03:21:25,480
we have several people that are in communities now, and having to change their schedule,

2333
03:21:25,660 --> 03:21:30,380
their family schedules, their work schedules, and that's including staff.

2334
03:21:30,460 --> 03:21:35,340
I don't know if you even considered staff, now obviously staff's going to do what we ask of them,

2335
03:21:35,560 --> 03:21:38,640
but specifically in this case, told what to do.

2336
03:21:38,640 --> 03:22:04,740
So, I think that it's really highly inconvenience when you're changing something for one particular person that you're ready to convince you right off the top 30 people without even consideration of their scheduling because they do get their schedules according to what our meetings are and they adopted all their family schedules and their activities and all their sports with their kids and stuff for the second and for two of the month because that's what they're accommodable and they knew what their schedule was.

2337
03:22:04,740 --> 03:22:12,560
So knowing what your schedule was, I believe that you should probably have considered that before just making this thing for one person.

2338
03:22:13,340 --> 03:22:14,480
So with that being said.

2339
03:22:14,680 --> 03:22:17,400
Madam Mayor, I'd like to give you a little history lesson since I've been here.

2340
03:22:17,540 --> 03:22:18,540
Give me a history lesson.

2341
03:22:19,040 --> 03:22:22,600
We actually changed the meetings years ago as well.

2342
03:22:22,780 --> 03:22:25,860
We moved them to the Wednesday and they were perfectly fine.

2343
03:22:26,760 --> 03:22:29,960
So again, my apologies to those people who have felt...

2344
03:22:30,000 --> 03:22:39,820
They're in convenience, but again, if it is important, they'll show up to her meetings, or they can log online. So again, Madam Mayor, historically meetings have been changed in the past.

2345
03:22:40,400 --> 03:22:42,740
And that can say this same for you. I'd like to make a motion.

2346
03:22:43,060 --> 03:22:44,620
Madam Mayor to approve.

2347
03:22:44,860 --> 03:22:45,660
We're not done yet, Hector.

2348
03:22:45,780 --> 03:22:47,480
There's a motion on the floor. Can I get a second?

2349
03:22:47,600 --> 03:22:50,120
No, there's not going to be a motion yet until the mayor calls it.

2350
03:22:50,380 --> 03:22:51,380
Madam Mayor, listen.

2351
03:22:51,380 --> 03:22:52,340
I know it's a motion.

2352
03:22:52,640 --> 03:22:53,400
But you're not.

2353
03:22:53,680 --> 03:22:53,880
Madam Mayor.

2354
03:22:53,880 --> 03:22:54,600
So let's get point of order.

2355
03:22:54,900 --> 03:22:57,660
Point of order is there's a motion on the floor. Can I get a second?

2356
03:22:58,400 --> 03:22:59,980
No, you will not call for the second until the mayor.

2357
03:22:59,980 --> 03:23:03,820
call for it. So if we have the motion on the floor, you can wait until we're finished

2358
03:23:03,820 --> 03:23:06,800
seeing that you don't know when else has a dialogue. It should be fair to everybody

2359
03:23:06,800 --> 03:23:09,340
across the board if you have a document. And Madam Mayor, listen, I don't need to

2360
03:23:09,340 --> 03:23:12,740
sit up here and have a lecture for me. I need to give you a lecture and from just

2361
03:23:12,740 --> 03:23:17,420
stating the fact that council members. The point of order is there's a motion on the floor

2362
03:23:17,420 --> 03:23:21,900
if there's a second. I'll second the motion. Call for the question. Excuse me again.

2363
03:23:22,140 --> 03:23:23,280
We're not calling for the question yet.

2364
03:23:23,320 --> 03:23:28,360
Legal counsel, can you? Yeah, when the mayor can you. Can you call? Yeah, we've got a motion.

2365
03:23:29,240 --> 03:23:30,940
I'll second the call for the question.

2366
03:23:31,880 --> 03:23:34,100
We'll let the legal council explain it to you.

2367
03:23:34,340 --> 03:23:35,720
Thank you.

2368
03:23:36,740 --> 03:23:39,820
There is a call for the question for the question.

2369
03:23:39,980 --> 03:23:41,140
There is a second for the motion.

2370
03:23:41,440 --> 03:23:41,800
We do.

2371
03:23:41,800 --> 03:23:43,080
It does require.

2372
03:23:44,220 --> 03:23:44,540
Right.

2373
03:23:45,300 --> 03:23:47,460
If you call for the question.

2374
03:23:48,060 --> 03:23:49,700
The vote is now proposed to council.

2375
03:23:50,700 --> 03:23:51,360
To call for the question.

2376
03:23:51,360 --> 03:23:52,660
Which is all discussion.

2377
03:23:53,380 --> 03:23:55,300
But once once council votes on that.

2378
03:23:55,300 --> 03:23:57,900
as a first and the second, it does require a majority vote.

2379
03:23:58,700 --> 03:24:04,600
And Council, just for clarification, when someone does have something to speak, they have the right to speak before the vote.

2380
03:24:08,450 --> 03:24:12,110
Correct. If it's right. If it's right. If it's right.

2381
03:24:12,330 --> 03:24:18,970
Okay. So we had a motion by Hector Delgado, second by Rudy. No shocker there. This call for the vote, please.

2382
03:24:20,370 --> 03:24:26,690
I'm sorry. Council member, just for, are you making the motion for the item or for the call of the question?

2383
03:24:26,690 --> 03:24:34,330
that's the motion on the floor is the call of the question, which is the motion itself. So

2384
03:24:34,330 --> 03:24:38,430
first we need our drive. According to Robert's rule of order, we vote on the call of the question

2385
03:24:38,430 --> 03:24:43,390
if that passes, then we move to the call for the motion. So this is for the call of the question

2386
03:24:44,790 --> 03:24:48,650
then we can go to the motion on the item on the agenda.

2387
03:25:08,470 --> 03:25:10,270

Rudy.

2444
03:28:31,100 --> 03:28:37,240
Madam chair, I have nothing to report, but one thing I do want to say is I've been running down this agenda here.

2445
03:28:37,240 --> 03:28:41,740
and I think would like to recognize Honduras for his hard work. His name is just about on

2446
03:28:41,740 --> 03:28:45,420
every staff report that we have and I don't think he always gets the the credit agency's

2447
03:28:45,420 --> 03:28:48,920
for putting all this in doing all this work and it's a lot of work and there's a lot of paperwork.

2448
03:28:49,660 --> 03:28:51,320
So thank you for your hard work, Honduras.

2449
03:28:52,280 --> 03:28:55,620
Thanks. Yes, thank you, Honduras. Mr. Delgado?

2450
03:28:56,200 --> 03:28:57,940
But I'm sorry, nothing to report at this time.

2451
03:28:58,860 --> 03:28:58,960
Larry?

2452
03:28:59,520 --> 03:29:05,320
Not a mayor, nothing to report but one comment I do want to say great jobs staff,

2453
03:29:05,320 --> 03:29:10,720
But public works and and code enforcement and all that. Thank you so much for for helping out

2454
03:29:11,640 --> 03:29:18,580
To keep the city safe and clean and that goes with law enforcement and I see it every day right right right right right in front of the schools and

2455
03:29:18,580 --> 03:29:22,260
Means a lot to the residents and and to the kids. Thank you

2456
03:29:22,260 --> 03:29:23,240
Thank you sir

2457
03:29:24,540 --> 03:29:26,040
So I got to attend the

2458
03:29:28,160 --> 03:29:33,860
The chamber meeting it turned out to be very successful was really nice. They had a lot of things to discuss and a lot of things

2459
03:29:33,860 --> 03:29:40,980
they were going over. I also got to attend. So Siaka actually gave a really good idea for those

2460
03:29:40,980 --> 03:29:44,980
of you don't know Siaka's for the animal control. And they gave us a list, so maybe

2461
03:29:44,980 --> 03:29:51,180
what we were talking about the cert committee, they gave us a list of not to forget your pets.

2462
03:29:51,760 --> 03:29:57,820
And what to bring and get for their pets, check list. So I thought it was really cool because

2463
03:29:57,820 --> 03:29:58,420
I'll be honest.

2464
03:29:59,100 --> 03:29:59,980
I think in my head, I...

2465
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:29,420
Pack all these things for my family and ready to go. But I don't think I packed anything for my pet. I didn't think, bring my big old grizzly bear with us. And so when I saw the checklist, I was like, dang, that's actually really smart. Why didn't I think of that? So that this would be put on our website so that you guys can see what the emergency, I know we all live animals here. So what to do for our pets and the checklist of what to, for the pets and stuff to consider them into your emergency escape, consider your pets, your family members with you.

2466
03:30:30,000 --> 03:30:38,160
felt that was really good. Also, got to attend the economic development partnership. So Renate,

2467
03:30:38,160 --> 03:30:43,560
thank you Renate for city managers. He got honored. And I'll wait to say thank you to all the

2468
03:30:43,560 --> 03:30:49,240
city managers. And that was a really nice turnout. I was at the left stop. And it turned out to be

2469
03:30:49,240 --> 03:30:53,420
really good. It's actually a pretty cool place. We had a lot of the whole thing and saved it. It's

2470
03:30:53,420 --> 03:30:57,580
in what's going to. So I thought it was really nice to have into attend and to say congratulations to

2471
03:30:57,580 --> 03:31:03,720
hardworking city manager and that was a few more things I attended but I didn't

2472
03:31:03,720 --> 03:31:07,860
write down I couldn't see my phone fast enough so that's your work and oh the

2473
03:31:07,860 --> 03:31:12,300
senior the senior luncheon went to the senior luncheon and it was really nice I

2474
03:31:12,300 --> 03:31:16,720
love the fact that the seniors get so excited when they see us so it turned out to be

2475
03:31:17,840 --> 03:31:21,740
a really good luncheon I know they have one coming up to for a Valentine's

2476
03:31:21,740 --> 03:31:26,320
days so keep that in mind also got to attend our lunar new year that's it was the

2477
03:31:26,320 --> 03:31:33,360
new year. I was shocked. I'll pack that place. It was packed. I came in and I was like oh my god

2478
03:31:33,360 --> 03:31:40,520
we have a table for us. And luckily I got to see. But the kids performances I like to thank new temple school

2479
03:31:40,520 --> 03:31:47,560
and shyly. Their performance was outstanding. Just amazing. And any other school that participated

2480
03:31:47,560 --> 03:31:51,660
I believe we have one more which I can't remember the name but thank you for all that they did.

2481
03:31:51,660 --> 03:31:56,600
did a tremendous job and and to our staff because the decor was beautiful. The food was

2482
03:31:56,600 --> 03:32:02,680
good, be sent there. Congratulations at Fuji. It was really good. And just to see the talent

2483
03:32:02,680 --> 03:32:08,540
that they have, not only for their own culture, but for an Asian culture that they participated

2484
03:32:08,540 --> 03:32:15,340
in, their pronunciation was crazy amazing. And it was really nice to see that. So congratulations

2485
03:32:15,340 --> 03:32:19,540
and thank you Dr. Evans for being there and participating with the kids and making sure that

2486
03:32:19,540 --> 03:32:26,320
They did everything correctly, so we thought we're going to go here with 12 A, Rudy Borkas.

2487
03:32:26,440 --> 03:32:33,560
So we'll take you, Madam Mayor. Well, we know, last meeting, we ended recognizing Ralph Ortiz,

2488
03:32:34,140 --> 03:32:38,760
you know, Jeff Ortiz is his brother, you know, Jeff Ortiz is one of our commissioners.

2489
03:32:39,100 --> 03:32:43,080
His mom and the family have been here for 60 years in the city of South Albany,

2490
03:32:44,100 --> 03:32:48,880
and they would like to use the senior center on March 8th for the more moral services.

2491
03:32:49,280 --> 03:32:54,660
So, I'd like to see if we can get the council to agree to a full waiver for the family.

2492
03:32:56,850 --> 03:32:58,310
I have no objection to that, really.

2493
03:32:58,410 --> 03:33:00,330
I think it's a great idea, but keep in mind.

2494
03:33:01,170 --> 03:33:03,350
If there's a certain amount of people running it, correct me from wrong.

2495
03:33:03,430 --> 03:33:05,050
If it's more than 100, they have to have security.

2496
03:33:09,340 --> 03:33:16,340
Madam Mayor and City Council, I believe it's 120 or maybe 150.

2497
03:33:16,580 --> 03:33:16,900
I'd have to do that.

2498
03:33:16,900 --> 03:33:19,720
That's something that custody won't cover, so if you have more than 120.

2499
03:33:20,100 --> 03:33:21,480
I'll let Jeff know.

2500
03:33:21,480 --> 03:33:24,620
Yeah, is this emotion or just

2501
03:33:24,620 --> 03:33:28,930
So it would be a motion is it a motion? Okay, I'll second that motion

2502
03:33:29,760 --> 03:33:36,100
I got to make the motion first. Yeah, I'll make a motion. I'll make a motion to approve the full waiver

2503
03:33:36,100 --> 03:33:38,840
I second that an exception to the security

2504
03:33:39,760 --> 03:33:44,680
I an exception to the security if they're not too surprised 120. Yeah, okay

2505
03:33:45,720 --> 03:33:47,400
Go for the vote please

2506
03:33:54,120 --> 03:33:56,580
Fimo. Thank you. Thank you, councilmember.

2507
03:33:57,940 --> 03:33:59,860
12B, we did yours.

2508
03:34:06,450 --> 03:34:07,410
12C, councilmember.

2509
03:34:07,570 --> 03:34:10,550
I'm very excited. Yes, so I have a few

2510
03:34:10,550 --> 03:34:12,210
so I'll just go ahead and read off the first one.

2511
03:34:12,750 --> 03:34:15,230
So at the January 14th, 2025 city council meeting,

2512
03:34:15,330 --> 03:34:17,310
which was the last one we had, our mayor

2513
03:34:17,310 --> 03:34:19,970
of pro-tam, Hector Lagoda requested $15,000 for his

2514
03:34:19,970 --> 03:34:22,830
wrestling program called Beat the Streets and was approved

2515
03:34:22,830 --> 03:34:27,030
in a three-two count. This request should be contingent

2516
03:34:27,030 --> 03:34:30,850
on Mr. Dugaro providing a letter to the city of Satamani,

2517
03:34:31,170 --> 03:34:33,990
formally requesting the $15,000, and that the letter

2518
03:34:33,990 --> 03:34:36,170
should be on the organization's letterhead,

2519
03:34:36,410 --> 03:34:37,790
and include the charitable tax ID,

2520
03:34:37,970 --> 03:34:39,390
and describe how the money will be spent.

2521
03:34:40,390 --> 03:34:44,390
So I'm just basically asking a formal request for this money

2522
03:34:44,390 --> 03:34:46,730
so that we can track it.

2523
03:34:47,030 --> 03:34:48,950
I think we have a fiduciary responsibility

2524
03:34:48,950 --> 03:34:54,610
to the city, to make sure that the money's being spent well,

2525
03:34:54,790 --> 03:34:55,630
and on the residents.

2526
03:34:55,630 --> 03:35:05,270
Can I make a quick correction? I believe it was for one. Did you question or not? No, it was for one vote.

2527
03:35:05,270 --> 03:35:11,750
The vote was for one. Yeah. Oh, he said. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. There was a for one. Yeah, I got that.

2528
03:35:13,570 --> 03:35:21,130
Yeah, it's a good idea. No objection. I believe last time there was a letter provided Mr. City Manager. Was there a letter provided in the previous reportifying?

2529
03:35:21,810 --> 03:35:29,070
Yes, there's a letter provided, it didn't make the package, but I've made copies for it, and it's on your dius.

2530
03:35:30,110 --> 03:35:32,270
Do you see if we have it?

2531
03:35:32,270 --> 03:35:32,510
Yes.

2532
03:35:33,170 --> 03:35:34,970
It's in your packet on there.

2533
03:35:35,030 --> 03:35:35,570
Okay.

2534
03:35:36,150 --> 03:35:36,870
I'll look for it.

2535
03:35:37,010 --> 03:35:38,570
I didn't see it.

2536
03:35:38,890 --> 03:35:39,150
All right.

2537
03:35:39,590 --> 03:35:42,230
My second request, again, at the January 14, 2025,

2538
03:35:42,470 --> 03:35:46,010
to the consummating request of $35,000 to the

2539
03:35:46,010 --> 03:35:48,250
Amani Sautamani Emergency Resources Association,

2540
03:35:48,250 --> 03:35:50,210
that is headquartered in Amani.

2541
03:35:50,210 --> 03:35:53,930
was approved, and I think this one was a three-two vote.

2542
03:35:54,790 --> 03:35:56,830
The staff should be directed to conduct research,

2543
03:35:57,150 --> 03:35:59,930
provide details of the organization's finances and disclosures.

2544
03:36:00,470 --> 03:36:02,910
Again, it is our fiduciary responsibility to make sure

2545
03:36:02,910 --> 03:36:06,830
that this money is being spent appropriately.

2546
03:36:07,250 --> 03:36:14,670
So I like to direct staff to take a look at their financial statements.

2547
03:36:15,750 --> 03:36:19,190
According to Ms. Pradea, this is a public,

2548
03:36:19,190 --> 03:36:24,010
for public entities, so we should be able to find these,

2549
03:36:24,550 --> 03:36:27,210
to have access to the financial statements.

2550
03:36:28,450 --> 03:36:30,490
If anybody, is there any OK with that?

2551
03:36:31,210 --> 03:36:34,230
One clarification, Madam Mayor, I think the vote was 3-1-1.

2552
03:36:36,120 --> 03:36:36,580
I'm correct.

2553
03:36:37,140 --> 03:36:37,960
That is correct.

2554
03:36:38,220 --> 03:36:38,440
Okay.

2555
03:36:38,800 --> 03:36:40,620
So it was approved on a 3-1-1.

2556
03:36:40,880 --> 03:36:41,220
Right in the minutes.

2557
03:36:41,580 --> 03:36:41,860
All right.

2558
03:36:43,320 --> 03:36:45,280
But yeah, I'm not sure, Madam Mayor.

2559
03:36:45,340 --> 03:36:48,220
I think in clarification, we also asked that night of,

2560
03:36:48,220 --> 03:36:50,820
I'm sorry, my apologies are kicking my butt right now.

2561
03:36:52,080 --> 03:36:55,560
We also asked for the auto reports to be rendered as well.

2562
03:36:55,820 --> 03:36:57,100
So, yes, I think that's a good idea.

2563
03:36:57,640 --> 03:36:59,200
Well, that's what I'm formally asking that.

2564
03:36:59,200 --> 03:37:02,320
I'm formally asking that we'll that staff find,

2565
03:37:02,320 --> 03:37:04,800
you know, do a little research so that we can,

2566
03:37:04,820 --> 03:37:05,780
we can all see it.

2567
03:37:07,520 --> 03:37:11,540
And the third request, since we are giving the Senate

2568
03:37:11,540 --> 03:37:17,960
to $35,000 that we place a financial condition on the emergency

2569
03:37:17,960 --> 03:37:24,620
resource association that the money should be only only be used for self the money residents seeking emergency relief and financial assistance.

2570
03:37:25,900 --> 03:37:29,980
So what I'm asking is that all in-

2571
03:37:30,000 --> 03:37:45,280
You have this money being spent should be spent on Salta Mani residents who are seeking help, who are seeking financial assistance. And of course, according to Ms. Pridya, there is a record of it, so I like to make this money contingent on that.

2572
03:37:45,720 --> 03:37:46,820
Everybody okay with that?

2573
03:37:46,820 --> 03:37:53,880
Yeah, and just for point of clarification, the financials, a monthly report is generated.

2574
03:37:55,200 --> 03:37:59,960
We can do a quarterly report, we can do again yearly report, whatever it may be, because

2575
03:37:59,960 --> 03:38:00,880
the statistics are there.

2576
03:38:00,940 --> 03:38:07,580
And 100% of the proceeds do go right back to Southamane residents, and again, the money's

2577
03:38:07,580 --> 03:38:11,940
designated for Southamane only go to Southamane residents.

2578
03:38:12,220 --> 03:38:14,120
And I'm an absolute agreement with that.

2579
03:38:14,120 --> 03:38:16,840
that again, 100% of those proceeds be spent here

2580
03:38:16,840 --> 03:38:19,180
on residents and families in South Elmone.

2581
03:38:20,600 --> 03:38:23,280
Madam Mayor, if I get to direct this to the attorney.

2582
03:38:24,360 --> 03:38:27,720
Yeah, South Elmone taxpayer money can only be spent

2583
03:38:27,720 --> 03:38:30,220
on South Elmone residences, I correct?

2584
03:38:32,740 --> 03:38:34,300
That's a very general statement.

2585
03:38:34,400 --> 03:38:37,980
It depends on, there could be different situations

2586
03:38:37,980 --> 03:38:39,260
that we're talking about in Indonesia.

2587
03:38:39,760 --> 03:38:43,780
It's a particular, well, if this non-profit has agreed

2588
03:38:43,780 --> 03:38:48,460
that it be used only for Sathamani residents and yes, it would be contingent on that.

2589
03:38:52,370 --> 03:38:58,090
But does that have to be informal writing as they don't make the donation? Because it's the donations

2590
03:38:58,090 --> 03:39:04,870
already been approved. So do we say we're going to mend that with specifying that it goes to

2591
03:39:04,870 --> 03:39:09,870
Sathamani residents. If the organization, yes, it would have to be in writing that they would

2592
03:39:09,870 --> 03:39:15,750
the money is donated would only be contributed to self-domodity residents.

2593
03:39:16,170 --> 03:39:20,990
So do we have to tell them in writing or we can tell them verbally this is what it would be.

2594
03:39:20,990 --> 03:39:22,790
It would be best if it's in writing.

2595
03:39:23,190 --> 03:39:25,310
Okay, city manager, can you make sure that happens?

2596
03:39:25,850 --> 03:39:29,970
And just to clear things up, everyone agrees with that.

2597
03:39:30,030 --> 03:39:33,290
Even Mr. Delgado, so yeah, we're all in.

2598
03:39:33,690 --> 03:39:35,090
So the consensus is true.

2599
03:39:37,400 --> 03:39:39,220
Good job Mr. Costa, yes.

2600
03:39:39,600 --> 03:39:40,320
It's mostly the past.

2601
03:39:43,160 --> 03:39:44,960
We need you to call for the vote

2602
03:39:49,670 --> 03:39:52,870
for all three or for all three you got 12c

2603
03:39:55,250 --> 03:39:58,470
There was a consensus, but do we need a motion for a vote?

2604
03:39:58,470 --> 03:40:03,530
We have the consensus here. I think it's best if we call for the vote

2605
03:40:03,530 --> 03:40:05,970
So if there's a motion

2606
03:40:05,970 --> 03:40:10,810
I don't know if the cost is out. Yeah, so I like to make a motion to approve all three items.

2607
03:40:10,950 --> 03:40:11,870
Can I get a second?

2608
03:40:12,610 --> 03:40:14,270
I second that.

2609
03:40:14,270 --> 03:40:16,150
Can you move by manny? Second by Larry?

2610
03:40:17,870 --> 03:40:23,290
And just for clarification, that's also direct staff city manager to prepare letter to send over to the organization.

2611
03:40:23,850 --> 03:40:25,770
Yes, sir. Thank you for clarification.

2612
03:40:30,990 --> 03:40:31,510
Fivell.

2613
03:40:34,640 --> 03:40:35,940
All right.

2614
03:40:36,820 --> 03:40:38,240
Mine is 12D.

2615
03:40:38,360 --> 03:40:45,980
Consideration of sponsoring the Lincoln Training Center for their 39th annual affair of the heart events scheduled for March 22nd, 2025.

2616
03:40:46,640 --> 03:40:49,620
So they do this every year and we make a donation every year.

2617
03:40:49,620 --> 03:40:58,860
I know, we've said 500 is the maximum that we usually give donations of, they're asking for actually a different amount.

2618
03:41:00,800 --> 03:41:01,660
Is that what you're looking at, Rene?

2619
03:41:02,320 --> 03:41:02,540
Sorry.

2620
03:41:02,680 --> 03:41:03,220
Oh, I'm sorry.

2621
03:41:03,340 --> 03:41:04,760
That you're looking at their flyer.

2622
03:41:07,000 --> 03:41:12,280
But I'd like to request that we have these donate $500 to the link and training center.

2623
03:41:13,160 --> 03:41:15,680
Madam Mayor, I think they have some other options on there.

2624
03:41:15,880 --> 03:41:21,820
You know, Noreen Baka over at that organization, they do some incredible work looking at

2625
03:41:21,820 --> 03:41:23,920
the sponsorship levels there.

2626
03:41:36,090 --> 03:41:39,910
If you wanted to do more about a merit being, I certainly would be in support.

2627
03:41:41,050 --> 03:41:50,170
Again, they do some incredible work here with, you know, people with disabilities and providing

2628
03:41:50,170 --> 03:41:53,590
training and they've been in the city many, many years.

2629
03:41:58,220 --> 03:41:59,860
So, so, what the other amounts are,

2630
03:42:01,880 --> 03:42:07,380
and my voice is bad. It's called an evening in Paris, so what they do is they have a dinner annually,

2631
03:42:08,640 --> 03:42:11,040
and for those of you who don't know or familiar with it,

2632
03:42:13,180 --> 03:42:15,080
they have, they offer help for those that

2633
03:42:15,080 --> 03:42:21,360
are in need of special needs, down syndrome, autistic, whatever the special need is,

2634
03:42:21,860 --> 03:42:26,340
And they train them how to be on their own, how to get their own apartment, how to get a job.

2635
03:42:26,420 --> 03:42:28,320
They actually job place them as well.

2636
03:42:28,760 --> 03:42:33,720
And they actually make a lot of things in their own facility as well.

2637
03:42:34,000 --> 03:42:38,900
They create, and so say for instance, they'll bring in 12 cases of whatever it is.

2638
03:42:39,120 --> 03:42:41,660
And they have to pack a bag, they have them stationed out.

2639
03:42:41,940 --> 03:42:45,240
So each of them start putting in and they pass it down and it's simply lining.

2640
03:42:45,680 --> 03:42:49,720
It's pretty impressive when you see them and they look so happy.

2641
03:42:49,720 --> 03:42:56,380
They put the music on for them and they're kind of dancing while they're working in style. So it's really impressive if you guys haven't had an opportunity to go visit it

2642
03:42:56,380 --> 03:42:57,840
Please do it's touching

2643
03:42:58,480 --> 03:43:02,400
But this is something that they do every year and they have a big dinner fundraiser

2644
03:43:03,100 --> 03:43:07,760
So Mr. Rogado right as far as the title sponsor, but I mean title sponsors 30,000

2645
03:43:08,840 --> 03:43:11,520
Presenting sponsor 15,000 gold sponsors 10,000

2646
03:43:12,240 --> 03:43:17,300
Opel parking sponsor 6,000 Ruby sponsor 5,000 Emerald sponsor 3,500

2647
03:43:20,460 --> 03:43:24,580
But I did explain to them that our city has a code that we usually give 500.

2648
03:43:25,620 --> 03:43:27,220
I know we've given more in the past.

2649
03:43:29,800 --> 03:43:33,740
But I would at least request at least a minimum of 500.

2650
03:43:35,060 --> 03:43:38,800
That's a bigger, is that your motion or you're just putting that out?

2651
03:43:38,980 --> 03:43:39,810
I'm putting that out there.

2652
03:43:42,140 --> 03:43:45,140
If I may, can I make a motion for $1,000?

2653
03:43:45,660 --> 03:43:47,300
I have no problem with that, Mr. Rodriguez.

2654
03:43:48,160 --> 03:43:48,560
$1,000.

2655
03:43:49,680 --> 03:43:49,820
Second.

2656
03:43:50,920 --> 03:43:59,220
