Um, mayor, council, city 32 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:25,360 manager, and staff. First, thank you for the opportunity to be considered. It 33 00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:29,440 truly means a lot to me. When my family and I first moved here, we didn't just 34 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,760 choose a house. We chose a community. Early on, I had the opportunity to work 35 00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:38,160 for the city, and that experience gave me a deep appreciation for the 36 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,560 dedication it takes to serve to Hatchby. Over time, my involvement grew. I step 37 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,120 into the role of city treasurer because I care deeply about responsibility, 38 00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:51,840 transparency, and always keeping the community's long-term health in mind. 39 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:57,200 Every decision I've made has been rooted in one simple thought. This is our home. 40 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,200 Beyond the roles I've held, I'm a mom raising my two daughters here. I'm a 41 00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:05,760 small business owner helping families put down roots here. I attend local 42 00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:11,040 events, support local businesses, and see firsthand what makes this town so 43 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:15,599 special. District 3 isn't just a section of the map to me. It's neighborhoods, 44 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:20,560 families, and people who want thoughtful growth while protecting the character of 45 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:25,360 our town. I also want to say how much respect I have for the current members 46 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:30,480 of the council. Each of you has shown dedication, leadership, and heart for 47 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,959 this community. If appointed, I look forward to learning from you, growing in 48 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:40,239 this role, asking questions, listening carefully, and being guided by the 49 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:45,599 example you've already set. I come in ready to serve and ready to learn. To 50 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:50,959 Hatch has given my family so much opportunity, connection, and belonging. 51 00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:55,680 Serving on this council would simply be my way of continuing to give back to the 52 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,920 place that has shaped us.

Yeah, >> you don't mind. 192 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:29,600 » Um, thank you to Greg and his firm. I consider our auditors an extension quite 193 00:15:26,959 --> 00:15:34,480 frankly of our finance department. We have a rock solid finance department. 194 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:41,120 And I appreciate Hamemed and his crew and Greg and his firm for his work and 195 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:46,800 all the work we do collectively. It's very important. We take it very serious. 196 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:53,040 Uh taxpayer dollars are few and far between and we want to make sure that 197 00:15:48,959 --> 00:15:57,040 we're uh caretakers of that resource. So, thank you to everybody involved. 198 00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:01,920 It's very much appreciated. We could not do what we do without good, clean, solid 199 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,040 finances. >> I have one more comment after. 200 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:11,199 » Sure. >> So this is kind of a long time ago city 201 00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:16,320 was accused that we were misappropriating federal grant 202 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:21,199 and I have to show them different financial c you know capturing method 203 00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:26,079 this and that. There's no way city can misappropriate federal grant or any 204 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:30,480 other grant the city receive. You do not understand how many steps 205 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:36,639 that we have to go through in order for us to get approval and not only with the 206 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:42,800 governmental agencies such as states you know mostly federal and whatever CALR we 207 00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:47,519 have to go through the hoop in order to have a completion of the project not 208 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:52,000 only that like Greg has mentioned we have to go go through another audit just 209 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:57,759 for the federal big federal grant project single audit that's very arduous 210 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:04,000 There are a lot of schedules and backups that city staff has to provide. So 211 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:10,160 please, you know, understand that city is has never misappropriated 212 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:14,559 any revenues or any grant whatsoever. I can tell you that. 213 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:20,559 » Thank you. It's good to know. Anybody else? 214 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:24,480 Audience? >> Okay. Can I have the developmental 215 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:31,280 services report? Okay, Andrew's up at the plate. 216 00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:34,240 » Good evening, mayor. >> Good evening, 217 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:38,240 » council members. New council member. Um, tonight I bring to you the pressure 218 00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:42,320 reducing stations at Applewood, Vinion, and Hickory, the notice of completion. 219 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:47,200 Um, just so you're aware, we constructed two of the three stations. The developer 220 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:51,280 of the pinion condos was conditioned to construct one. We had offered to help 221 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:55,840 them by taking it out the bid. After the bidding process, they elected to 222 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:59,840 self-perform their station. Um, with that, uh, it was a long lead time 223 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:04,880 project. Otherwise, the construction went pretty quickly. Um, no major 224 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:10,160 impacts to traffic, water service, anything else. Um, special thanks to 225 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:14,640 Tyler and his water team for we did have to shut down a portion of the water 226 00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:19,520 system and and Tyler and his team handled that flawlessly. So overall the 227 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:22,559 the project was delivered on budget um with a little bit longer lead time for 228 00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:27,360 the manufacturing of the vault and the pressure reducing assemblies. Um 229 00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:31,200 otherwise it was aformational only and I'm here to answer questions if you guys 230 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:35,520 have any. >> Do I have any comments from the uh 231 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:39,840 audience council? 232 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:42,400 » So this is basically a balancing of our water system. 233 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,280 » Sure. We moved one of the three stations. 234 00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:51,919 » Yeah. we moved to the zone boundary north um by you know 500,000 ft to 235 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:56,960 redefine that edge along pinion in the development that that's 236 00:18:54,240 --> 00:19:05,120 is and will occur there. >> So can you tell um tell us that what is 237 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:09,679 the downside of the pipeline or whatever if we didn't do this project? Mhm. So 238 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:15,600 along the the Virginia boundary, you would experience lower pressures. Um so 239 00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:21,600 we redefine the boundary between the two. You're now in the northern portion 240 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:27,039 of the up uphill side. You're you're on the we 241 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:31,360 move the boundary line north. Everyone south of that now gets to experience the 242 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,320 higher pressure of being on the bottom of that boundary. 243 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,960 » Okay? So being on the down, >> you're kind of balancing the pressure 244 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,679 out >> in a way. 245 00:19:37,679 --> 00:19:42,320 » Yep. We're redefining the boundary of of two pressure zones. 246 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,760 » Okay. >> Thank you. Because it's my understanding 247 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,440 too much pressure then you start blowing lines. Is that correct? 248 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,480 » Y. >> So it's very it's a fine line as you 249 00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:53,120 said to make sure >> that it's regulated. 250 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:58,160 » Exactly right. >> Okay. Council I think you all anybody. 251 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,280 » Okay. >> Information only. 252 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,960 » It's information only. So no vote required. Thank you all. 253 00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:07,280 » Thank you. >> Thank you for the update. 254 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:11,679 » Okay, city manager. >> Thank you, Mayor Pogen Court. Just a 255 00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:17,200 couple of quick things for you. Um this Wednesday, after tomorrow in this room 256 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:23,200 at 5:30 p.m., we're going to host uh another public planning meeting for the 257 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:28,320 United States of America's 250th birthday coming up, July 4th, of course. 258 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:33,280 So, in this room, uh we're inviting anybody that might be interested in 259 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:37,280 that. Bailey, anything to add? We I know we've had one a couple really good 260 00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:42,000 meetings. We have a lot of interest volunteer groups, so on and so forth. 261 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:46,320 » Um the only thing I would add is uh farmers market applications are open. 262 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:51,120 » We currently have gotten over 30 applications so far. They do close April 263 00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:56,240 15th and we are also looking for hot food vendors for 2026 events as well as 264 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:59,360 musicians and those are available on our website under the community tab. 265 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,760 » Thank you. Mhm. >> The other is this Friday is first Friday 266 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:08,480 of the month downtown. So we invite you to come downtown. TVA tattoo gallery 267 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:14,080 arts association hosted by Galler and Gifts. Uh and then I know the American 268 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:19,120 Legion on F Street hosts bingo which is very popular getting more and more 269 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:23,679 popular all the time. And lastly, I want to thank Mariana for joining the 270 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:28,640 council. As you said in your speech, we have an amazing city council and you're 271 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,080 accenting that very well. So, I look forward to working with you. 272 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,600 » Yeah. Thank you. Congratulations and welcome. 273 00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:39,679 » Thank you. >> Thank you. 274 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:45,440 » Okay. Council member reports. Hannah. >> Nope. I don't have anything to 275 00:21:41,919 --> 00:21:50,080 » Janette. Uh just want to comment that um our council now has two individuals who 276 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:55,840 with strong backgrounds in accounting, which is huge. uh since a lot of city 277 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:59,919 council members and other communities don't have that benefit and I think 278 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:04,880 that's that's uh tremendous and I'm very excited to work with you. 279 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:09,679 » Okay, Mary. >> Um I just want to say thank you to all 280 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:15,360 of you. I'm very grateful and I'm really excited for what's at Tacoma. 281 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:19,200 And Phil, >> I have a really 282 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:23,600 I think it's a big announcement from current council of governments. You 283 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:27,919 know, I I talk about truck climbing lanes and and the key pavement projects 284 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:36,320 for >> a long long time. Uh we are now it was 285 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:40,799 announced at our last meeting that the uh Keen pavement project which includes 286 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:48,480 the truck climbing lanes the middle section starting at Galianti 287 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:55,039 uh is listed as RTL. Remember those initials ready to list which means going 288 00:22:51,840 --> 00:23:00,320 to bid this summer sometime later in the summer. doesn't mean that we're that 289 00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:06,159 means they're getting uh contractors ready to give their estimates. It's a 290 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:15,600 it's a process but this has been a very very long uh in the making process and 291 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:22,559 so the abbreviation ready to list saying saying that the next step will because 292 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:27,520 the funding was approved by CALR by the California transportation commission in 293 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:31,039 the tune of about 247 million sound that right? 294 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:35,679 » Yes. uh for that includes a portion for the truck climbing lanes in that area 295 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:42,640 and the Keen pavement project from I think highway 202 to 296 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:48,559 Kellyani right in that area or or 223. >> So a bulk of it that section of roadway 297 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:52,559 has been in need of repair as anybody who's driven it from here who stays in 298 00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:57,360 the left lane for most of the way till you get down the way. Right. So that is 299 00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:03,679 going to be uh so the construction is hopefully going to begin in 2027. We 300 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:11,520 were given a really interesting presentation by CALR District 9 and I 301 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:14,400 asked uh I asked them to uh get a hold of staff and make that presentation. Did 302 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,919 they do that? >> Not yet, but we're working closely with 303 00:24:16,159 --> 00:24:23,200 them. So we'll help facilitate something soon. They got a really interesting 304 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:29,279 video showing uh how this is going to happen because they've got uh because a 305 00:24:26,159 --> 00:24:34,400 lot of the when you have uh new lanes added and construction like 306 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:39,679 this and rehabilitation, they'll divert traffic over onto the other side of the 307 00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:44,240 freeway. in this area since one lane's here and one's uh their elevations are 308 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:48,960 not the same, the grades are different, it's going to be they they're not going 309 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:55,279 to be able to do that. So, they're going to come and report how they're going to 310 00:24:51,200 --> 00:25:00,480 uh attack this this project building outside lane first. They're they're 311 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:05,840 addressing emergency vehicles, stalled trucks, all that. So you can imagine if 312 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:10,559 it's bad now, three years of construction is going to be a challenge. 313 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:15,440 So I look forward to them making a presentation uh and letting everybody 314 00:25:13,679 --> 00:25:23,039 know that it's in it's a go. So 315 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:27,440 I um yeah, we we obviously fully support this project and with your leadership 316 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:32,159 led um this project to where it is. 317 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:36,880 » I just showed up. just kept poking, >> you know, the squeaky wheel. 318 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:40,720 » But, uh, kudos to district diner staff. They have, they've done a lot of hard 319 00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:45,760 work, a lot of heavy lifting with the engineering and design. Uh, it's it's 320 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,440 very complicated because, as you say, the off camera turns and all those 321 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:53,279 different elements. You could go on and on and on, but looking forward to this 322 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,919 project and we we're working with district 9 for presentation here at the 323 00:25:55,279 --> 00:26:00,320 city council. >> Perfect. Yeah, that's I think that's 324 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:05,919 officing for now. >> Thank you, Phil. People continually ask 325 00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:09,520 me about that project and is there a website? I told them there's a website 326 00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:12,640 that they can go on and and check it out. 327 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:16,480 » Go to Calrans District 9 and see what they've got available. There's some 328 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:21,679 there's some vid videos, but this one here is uh in house at the moment 329 00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:24,640 » at this point. Yeah, right. That's absolutely correct. There are some there 330 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:30,159 is some information but they're constantly updating it and providing it 331 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,880 to the public. So um when we talk to them next we'll ask request that they 332 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,640 update. >> Thank you 333 00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:39,679 » and put all the research >> because people are always 334 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:43,600 » amazing videos that they put together and how you're going to do it and you 335 00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:47,520 can imagine you know what Mr. Smith pointed out, you know, the emergency 336 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:52,320 lanes and different things. There's so much the wildlife crossing, 337 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:55,279 undercrossings, and so much to take into account. It's mindboggling, quite 338 00:26:53,919 --> 00:27:00,559 frankly. So, >> this is one of the biggest projects for 339 00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:05,919 our area. Even though I remind everyone, this is not a city of the Hatches 340 00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:09,200 project. This is a regional project. Just so happens we really kept pushing 341 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,919 for it. >> That's right. And if we didn't have the 342 00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:17,679 council, staff, the finances, quite frankly, even though we didn't 343 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:23,760 contribute directly to this project, we've spent a significant amount of 344 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:29,440 funds supporting this project, going to meetings, lobbying the CTC, working with 345 00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:34,480 Calrans, District 9. We we have contributed a whole heck of a lot of 346 00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:37,919 dollars to this project. >> Yeah. 347 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:41,360 » And it's our turn. Well, thank you for all your efforts because I know since 348 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:46,000 I've been on council, you've been working on it continually. So, we 349 00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:47,120 appreciate your efforts. Thank you so much. 350 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:52,559 » Absolutely. >> Stay tuned. 351 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:57,840 » Also, um I get a lot of comments about our snow globe. Everybody just loves 352 00:27:55,360 --> 00:28:02,559 that snow globe. And I said, "Well, it will be around." I said, "We've had 353 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:06,399 people from all over the area, not just to Hatchipy, but Bakersfield and 354 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:10,480 Lancaster." and they come up and they have enjoyed that tremendously. 355 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:18,080 Um also um there's is I have a question for 356 00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:22,480 you. You know the uh is there a market going in next to the valley park or is 357 00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:26,960 it something else? It looks like it's individual offices to me as I pass by. 358 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,399 » So you're referring to the old Valley Foods. 359 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,679 » Yes. >> And then the Mexican meat market for a 360 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:35,679 while and then it was demoed, >> right? Right. And so the owner has he 361 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:40,480 submitted plans that were approved through the planning commission and it 362 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,000 is going to be uh a couple different suites. 363 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,399 » That's what I >> it's going to have the look and feel of 364 00:28:43,679 --> 00:28:51,200 across the street Dr. Kerr the kidney dialysis. So it'll have the look and 365 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:56,320 feel of that. Uh but those suites once completed will be available for rent or 366 00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:00,960 lease. Uh it won't be a market necessarily, more of a professional 367 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:04,480 setting. That's what I thought because once the walls went up, it looked like 368 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,360 individual openings or offices and I thought that's 369 00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:12,480 not a market. >> There are three or four suites, 370 00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:17,120 » but uh tenant improvements will take place and hopefully it'll fill up with 371 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:22,080 some nice professional services. >> Okay. And then I have one more question. 372 00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:24,640 Um is Burger Brothers open or not open? >> Burger Brothers is open. 373 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:29,360 » It's open, >> right? and they are at the far west end 374 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:33,279 of the particular shopping center right beside Walgreens. 375 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:37,360 » They have a drive-thru and their restaurant is open. I've heard nothing 376 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:41,840 but great reviews. >> The food, the service, the look and 377 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:47,520 feel, the cleanliness. So, um you know, congratulations to the 378 00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:51,279 owners and we appreciate the investment, but I've heard nothing but good um good 379 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:54,240 reviews. We'll have to launch there. >> Yes, 380 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:57,520 » they have a huge menu, too. We have way more than just burgers. 381 00:29:56,159 --> 00:30:02,320 » Wonderful. >> Okay. Anything else? 382 00:30:00,399 --> 00:30:08,240 Okay. I'd like to adjourn to close session 383 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,240 if you like.
