[3:45] presentations are first

[3:46] presentation this evening is is

[3:48] by David Preciado of I

[3:48] d Bailey

[3:50] regarding our city

[3:51] s annual

[3:52] comprehensive financial report.

[3:56] Welcome. Thank you. Alright, so

[3:59] good evening. My Name is David

[4:00] prosciutto you might have had

[4:01] David Showalter on the docket

[4:02] there at some point, but I

[4:02] ve

[4:04] been here on his behalf. He was

[4:07] in an arc in an accident can be

[4:10] here. However. I was the audit

[4:10] manager overseeing the

[4:14] financial statement audit. Um

[4:16] So are our responsibility as

[4:18] the auditor was to express an

[4:20] opinion as to whether or not

[4:22] the financial statements were

[4:24] presented fairly part of our

[4:25] audit included the

[4:27] consideration of the city

[4:27] s

[4:28] internal controls for the

[4:30] purpose of determining our

[4:31] audit procedures and not to

[4:34] provide Ah assurance concerning

[4:37] those internal controls. Um in

[4:40] the audit process. We gather

[4:42] evidence from inquiries with

[4:45] staff verification with third

[4:47] parties vouching transactions

[4:51] to supporting documentation and

[4:51] performing analytical

[4:53] procedures. So basedn The

[4:54] evidence that was gathered

[4:58] during the audit. We issued a

[4:59] unmodified opinion over the

[5:01] financial statements and this

[5:03] is a clean opinion and is the

[5:03] highest level of assurance that

[5:08] we can provide. So Ah. The

[5:08] auditor

[5:10] s report also contains

[5:12] a emphasis of matter Paragraph

[5:14] So, This paragraph draws the

[5:15] reader

[5:16] s attention to the

[5:16] implementation of a new

[5:19] accounting standard. Uh so this

[5:22] standard is related to leases.

[5:24] So the impact of the standard

[5:26] on the city

[5:26] s financial

[5:28] statements is included as a

[5:29] footnote disclosure, so that

[5:29] s

[5:32] footnote number 18. Uh um, our

[5:35] opinion Within the auditor

[5:36] s

[5:36] report is not affected with

[5:39] regards to this matter, so we

[5:40] still have a clean unmodified

[5:44] opinion. Um So moving on here.

[5:44] There

[5:47] s certain balances within

[5:49] the financial statements that

[5:51] are derived from estimates, so

[5:53] those balances are related to

[5:53] the city

[5:56] s pension and other

[5:57] post employment benefit

[6:01] liabilities and are both based

[6:03] upon valuations from actuaries,

[6:05] So. These balances are

[6:07] sensitive based upon the inputs

[6:07] that the actuaries are are

[6:11] using. Ah So, for example, the

[6:13] discount rate if it moves up or

[6:16] down 1%. It could have a huge

[6:19] difference on the net pension

[6:21] liability or liability. So.

[6:23] That relationship has been

[6:24] disclosed as a separate

[6:25] footnote, so that

[6:27] s footnote

[6:28] Number nine for the city

[6:29] s

[6:31] pension and footnote, number,

[6:33] 14 for other posts and claim

[6:34] other post employment benefit

[6:38] liabilities. Um So moving on

[6:41] here. There were no corrected

[6:42] or uncorrected misstatements

[6:44] identified during our audit,

[6:45] and there were no disagreements

[6:46] with management during the

[6:50] course of the audit. All city

[6:51] staff were extremely

[6:51] professional during the entire

[6:54] audit. They were super helpful

[6:56] and were a huge part in the

[7:00] success of the audit. Um To

[7:01] conclude I on behalf of my

[7:01] Bailey. I

[7:03] d just like to thank

[7:04] you all for allowing us to

[7:06] serve as your auditor and we

[7:08] look forward to serving in the

[7:12] future and That concludes my

[17:45] Thank you. Thank you and good

[17:46] evening. Thank You, too. Chief

[17:47] Creator for giving me this

[17:49] opportunity to share my story.

[17:52] My name is Stephanie Natter.

[17:56] And on SEPTEMBER 20th 15th.

[18:00] 2022 at 10 34 am I died? I

[18:00] m 39

[18:02] years old. With. No prior

[18:05] health conditions. I played

[18:07] sports all my life growing up.

[18:10] And I stayed active. And. My

[18:15] heart just stopped. I went into

[18:16] cardiac arrest. I didn

[18:16] t have a

[18:19] heart attack. Many people know

[18:20] the difference. But. Some of

[18:21] you MAY not, And I

[18:22] d like to

[18:26] share the difference. The,

[18:26] American Heart Association

[18:27] States. Heart attack occurs

[18:29] when the blood flow to the

[18:32] heart is stopped. Heart attack

[18:34] is a circulation problem.

[18:37] Cardiac arrest occurs when the

[18:39] heart malfunctions and stop

[18:42] speeding unexpectedly. Cardiac

[18:43] arrest is an electrical problem.

[18:46] That morning was just like any

[18:48] other morning. I got my kids

[18:50] ready for school made my

[18:53] husband breakfast, and I went

[18:54] upstairs and laid back in bed.

[18:57] I was on the phone with my best

[18:59] friend who is an er nurse.

[18:59] We

[19:02] re catching up about. The

[19:03] previous days and sharing

[19:06] stories. I made an instagram

[19:07] post of my son

[19:07] s water polo

[19:09] game the night before. And. My

[19:13] heart just stopped. I stopped

[19:16] responding to Jill. And she

[19:16] immediately knew something was

[19:18] wrong. She heard me take my

[19:22] last breath. And immediately

[19:23] conferenced my husband in on

[19:26] the phone call. Coincidentally.

[19:29] He was downstairs with no

[19:30] meetings to attend for work,

[19:32] and it was able to come up to

[19:37] our bedroom. He came up and

[19:38] found me laying in our bed

[19:43] lifeless in blue. And at that

[19:44] point, he knew he had to do

[19:49] something. He put me down on

[19:54] the floor and call 911. He was

[19:56] led for nine minutes doing

[19:58] chest compressions by the

[20:01] dispatcher until help arrived.

[20:04] At that point engine 96 92

[20:08] arrived at our home. And they

[20:10] took over chest compressions. I

[20:13] was shocked six times by an a d

[20:37] was moved to icu. Where I coded

[20:42] again. Against cpr was

[20:43] administered and I was brought

[20:47] back. At that point I was put

[21:49] they played. Each member of

[21:50] that crew was vital in my

[21:53] survival. And necessary that

[21:59] day. Hmm, a few of the medics

[22:02] even told me that Their

[22:03] outcomes aren

[22:04] t always this way

[22:06] and that they have never had a

[22:07] survivor be able to hug or

[22:11] thank them. That Day will

[29:12] and then he had me at. I was

[29:14] thinking about doing something

[29:18] depth and breadth of, um Our

[29:21] mayor. Um that that is an

[29:23] amazing skate park. And, So. I

[29:42] Let me see. I think I think

[29:42] that

[29:45] s about it. Um Thank you

[29:47] so much, Everybody. Thank you.

[29:48] Next speaker. The next speaker

[29:50] is Jim McLaughlin to be

[29:55] followed by Bob Cal. Welcome

[29:57] good evening Council members,

[29:58] City staff and citizens. My

[29:59] name is Jim McLaughlin. I

[29:59] ve

[30:01] been a resident of two macular

[30:03] for about 15 years I attended

[30:04] the last City council meeting

[30:05] two weeks ago because I hadn

[30:05] t

[30:06] been in a while and I was

[30:07] interested in getting to know

[30:09] the new kids on the block. I

[30:09] wasn

[30:10] t that long ago that Mayor

[30:12] Schwank was the new kid on the

[30:13] block, and so I was kind of

[30:16] checking him out to the most

[30:16] interesting part of the meeting

[30:17] for me was the last discussion,

[30:19] the one about putting a vote

[30:20] for term limits on the ballot

[30:21] Now on that issue. I don

[30:22] t feel

[30:23] strongly. Either way. I know

[30:25] there are compelling narratives

[30:26] for both sides. I listened to

[30:27] the discussion and there was

[30:28] little real pushback at first,

[30:30] a phrase uttered more than once

[30:30] was. Well, I don

[30:32] t have a

[30:33] problem with it shrank when we

[30:34] went last and brought up his

[30:35] arguments against her term

[30:36] limits, and I found those he

[30:38] had some pretty valid points

[30:40] after his comments. So. I

[30:41] thought Okay, now I know a

[30:41] little bit more about Mayor

[30:44] Swang. 20 also acknowledge his

[30:45] belief that if it were put on

[30:47] the ballot today, people would

[30:50] vote in favor of term it term

[30:51] limits Following his comments I

[30:53] heard council member office

[30:53] referred to that comment that

[30:55] people would vote in favor and

[30:56] that that was all he needed to

[30:58] hear. I think that was a direct

[31:00] quote. I have two problems with

[31:02] that one is it sounds like you

[31:02] weren

[31:04] t even considering the

[31:04] mayor

[31:05] s arguments. You cherry

[31:06] picked what you would agree

[31:07] with your point of view and

[31:10] dismissed the rest. Second, you

[31:11] believe that

[31:11] s what

[31:11] s popular

[31:13] is more important than what

[31:13] s

[31:14] best as in. Well, if that

[31:14] s

[31:16] what the people want. We should

[31:17] give it to them. I think most

[31:18] would agree that that

[31:18] s not

[31:20] always a good idea. It

[31:20] s

[31:22] certainly no way to lead In a

[31:23] representative form of

[31:24] government. We elect people to

[31:27] do the work of studying the

[31:28] issues considering the validity

[31:30] and merit of the alternative

[31:31] alternatives and then to choose

[31:31] what

[31:33] s best. I know from

[31:34] personal experience that

[31:35] putting yourself in a

[31:36] leadership position for there

[31:39] to be any hope of being

[31:40] effective, requires self

[31:42] reflection and growth, which is

[31:44] often very uncomfortable, but

[31:44] it

[31:47] s also high leaders are

[31:47] forged. It

[31:48] s humbling and I

[31:50] find humility to be an

[31:52] admirable quality in a leader.

[31:53] I wish you well, I really do

[31:54] all of you and I. Thank you for

[31:57] your attention. Thank you next

[31:59] speaker. The. Next speaker is

[32:00] Bob Cal to be followed by Dario

[32:07] Bianchi. Welcome. Hello there,

[32:12] Um I have a couple of things to

[32:13] say, Um Sheriff Bianco has been

[32:15] under attack by the state

[32:16] dictators and I

[32:17] d like to ask

[32:19] that there be a resolution in

[32:22] behalf of him support him and

[32:23] instead of the investigation,

[32:27] this, uh This, um, crazy

[32:29] investigation that people are

[32:31] putting upon him. Uh and And if

[32:31] you don

[32:33] t know it, it is crazy.

[32:38] So please have a resolution to

[32:40] support Chad Bianco in in in

[32:42] fighting the state on this.

[32:44] Appreciate it if you did that.

[32:44] It

[32:45] s like anything is that I

[32:46] don

[32:47] t know how the governor can

[32:50] have such power. But Hmm today.

[32:53] He, um, scheduled an end to

[32:53] Covid so we don

[32:55] t have any

[32:57] covered anymore. No emergency?

[32:59] No. Nothing to worry about.

[32:59] Yeah, that

[33:01] s what the governor

[33:03] says. Yeah. So having said that

[33:04] we used to have a we used to

[33:06] meet over here once a month.

[33:08] Our club. And. I like to do

[33:11] that again if we can do that,

[33:14] so I would like to Somebody

[33:15] could have resolution or a

[33:18] motion or something to Allow

[33:19] non profits or other groups,

[33:22] too. Have that room across the

[33:24] way Conference center. Um,

[33:25] Since there is no state of

[33:29] emergency anymore. A little

[33:30] history. Um, well, oh, a friend

[33:33] of mine. Ah or any Huntington

[33:33] s

[33:37] beach. They just passed a flag

[33:37] law either just allowing

[33:39] official flags. I know this

[33:42] comes up later in the item, 12,

[33:44] but, um An old friend of mine.

[33:46] He used to be a state senator

[33:48] and Assemblyman. They just made

[33:50] it so that only official

[33:52] American state flags can be

[33:53] flown. So. You can

[33:54] t have a

[33:55] Confederate flag. You can

[33:56] t

[33:58] have the the any kind of weird

[33:59] flag up there. You just have.

[34:05] Normal flag. Um In the in the

[34:08] state in our state. We have 58

[34:10] counties. We have 480 cities

[34:13] with, uh most of them will

[34:14] probably over 400 having less

[34:18] than 100 100,000 people. Um 120

[34:20] over MARCH charter cities.

[34:24] Charter cities have a

[34:27] Embellishment to them that they

[34:29] How the power over municipal

[34:29] affairs. There

[34:30] s a question on

[34:31] that, and I

[34:32] d like you to look

[34:36] at YouTube. Home rule in

[34:36] California cities, It

[34:36] s put

[34:38] them on the league of Cities.

[34:38] It

[34:38] s the best thing I

[34:40] ve ever

[34:42] seen on it, Um, talks about the

[34:44] power of a general city like

[34:47] you have here in the power of a

[34:48] charter city and what the

[34:50] charter City has a lot more

[34:52] power against the state. The

[34:54] dictatorship of the state.

[34:54] Thank you very much Thank you.

[34:57] Next speaker. Next speaker is

[35:05] Dario Bianchi. Welcome. Thank

[35:10] you. Good evening. Um, so let

[35:11] s

[35:13] start to be non David. Since

[35:16] there is division in this

[35:19] country and very concerned

[35:20] about that, okay, and to do so

[35:22] we have to talk about one of

[35:26] the most divisive. Issue today.

[35:27] For the last five years at

[35:30] least. Critical theory is part

[35:36] of a system of Marxist related

[35:37] social terrorists developed by

[35:42] academics. That is at least a

[35:44] defamatory claim that America

[35:47] is systematically racist. Okay?

[35:50] I know something about that My

[35:50] wife, She

[35:51] s African American,

[35:56] okay? The perceptive critical

[35:57] race theory have now burst

[36:02] outside. The University and

[36:03] permeate our corporation,

[36:04] government military and

[36:09] especially our school. Under

[36:14] the guise of code words such as

[36:16] equity, anti racism, inclusion

[36:16] inflation, leftist today

[36:20] prome Critical race theory

[36:21] perceptive through American

[36:26] institutions. They profoundly

[36:28] radical elements of critical

[36:30] race terrorist springs from

[36:33] Marxist segment of the academic

[36:35] left alongside Other extreme

[36:40] school of thought. According to

[36:41] critical race theory. All

[36:42] Western civilization,

[36:43] especially America is infused

[36:44] to the court with white

[36:50] supremacist. So my idea would

[36:53] be this We have the ready

[36:55] Commission race equity.

[36:58] Diversity inclusion. I suggest

[37:00] to the City Council to change

[37:02] the race equality. In diversity.

[37:07] There will be fair. There will

[37:11] be non divisive. Because equity

[37:12] and inclusion is divisive to us.

[37:17] To my family. To the American

[37:18] people, So I

[37:19] m asking you to

[37:22] take a stand on this and do not

[37:24] divide the United states as

[37:25] much as we are already. Thank

[37:30] you. Thank you Next speaker.

[37:31] That concludes in person

[37:34] comments I do have to email

[37:35] comments and we still have time

[37:37] in the 30 minutes, so we

[37:37] ll go

[37:39] ahead and read those two

[37:41] comments into the record. The

[37:45] first is from Rick Reese, and

[37:47] it was also submitted verbatim

[37:54] by Rich Handy. This. Commentary

[37:55] regards multiple topic, So

[37:55] let

[37:57] s get directly to the

[37:58] points on FEBRUARY 28th. The

[38:00] governor is scheduled to end

[38:02] the Covid 19 State of emergency

[38:03] for California if the city of

[38:05] Temecula still has an emergency

[38:07] resolution, in effect due to

[38:10] the very likely Wuhan, China

[38:12] originated. Covid 19 virus lab

[38:13] leak caused pandemic. The now

[38:15] is the time to retire or vacate

[38:17] this emergency resolution. Our

[38:18] city needs a return to normalcy

[38:21] and an end to this indefinite

[38:23] and seemingly forever state of

[38:24] emergency just as a point of

[38:26] order, it has become very

[38:28] apparent that past references

[38:29] to this lab creative lab

[38:31] created pandemic as the China

[38:33] virus actually have a lot of

[38:34] truth. The Technical Chinese

[38:36] Communists have earned this

[38:37] distinction. Let them bear the

[38:38] burden of this truth with no

[38:39] apologies on America

[38:40] s part.

[38:42] Next in regards to item 12. It

[38:43] is imperative for the City

[38:46] Council to stand up for local

[38:47] control of city zoning and to

[38:49] push back against the sp nine

[38:52] and sb 10 paragraph by

[38:53] Sacramento, much like a

[38:54] totalitarian political borough,

[38:56] the governor and the

[38:57] Legislature seizing local

[38:59] control and centralizing that

[39:00] power and Sacramento City

[39:01] councils have become little

[39:02] more than rubber stamps for

[39:03] Sacramento

[39:04] s edicts. The

[39:06] Council should also emulate

[39:07] cities like San Marcos del Mar

[39:09] Renter Center, Margarita and

[39:13] many others by supporting the

[39:14] brand wing Mendoza tripartisan

[39:15] Land use initiative. Please do

[39:17] not waver to Sacramento by

[39:20] Falling for their planned and

[39:21] promoted accessory dwelling

[39:22] units. Sacramento

[39:22] s paragraph

[39:24] is a dystopian attempt at bad

[39:25] urban planning that utilizes a

[39:28] cookie cutter approach to all

[39:28] of California

[39:29] s geographically

[39:32] and culturally diverse cities

[39:34] and communities. If anything

[39:35] this politburo like approach to

[39:38] urban planning is in reality,

[39:39] anti diversity. Their scheme

[39:40] seeks Top down conformity of

[39:41] communities that are as

[39:43] different as the desert. Is to

[39:44] the mountains and as different

[39:46] as a beach community is to our

[39:48] wine country. Lastly, in

[39:50] regards to business item number

[39:51] 14 concerning a ballot measure

[39:53] to establish city Council term

[39:55] limits. This should indeed move

[39:56] forward to the voters. Yet

[39:58] there also seems to be the need

[39:59] to properly define what

[40:00] constitutes a city Council term

[40:02] of office if a vacancy occurs

[40:05] and is filled by a council

[40:06] appointee to fulfill the

[40:08] remaining 44 months in office,

[40:10] should this 44 months. Count as

[40:11] a full term or shouldn

[40:12] t even

[40:13] shorter term of office of say,

[40:15] two years minus one day be

[40:16] considered as a partial term

[40:18] that qualifies the number 23

[40:19] more full terms. These

[40:21] potential wrinkles need to be

[40:23] addressed. If. This has not

[40:25] already been considered in the

[40:26] council needs to further

[40:27] deliberate otherwise, the

[40:28] council member in theory could

[40:30] serve a less than four year

[40:31] partial term than be elected

[40:32] and re elected to end up

[40:35] serving 14 15 or close to 16

[40:37] years in office. Thank you for

[40:38] your time and attention and

[40:41] godspeed to the Chinese people.

[40:46] And, then the last, um Comment

[40:48] emailed in is from Polly

[40:51] Steinbeck. Women are regularly

[40:52] getting drugged and local

[40:54] Temecula bars and the owner

[40:55] should be looked into. I would

[40:57] like to submit a public comment

[40:57] on this matter to the City

[41:00] Council. Mr Mayor. That is all

[41:03] of the in person and emailed

[42:46] here, right next here to City

[42:48] Council, um to City Hall, and

[42:49] it was wonderful and it was

[42:50] just good to see that these

[42:53] guys have a place to kind of

[42:55] start and stop from its kind of

[42:56] close to home somewhere to be

[42:58] able to detain the individuals

[42:59] until they can get the

[43:00] paperwork done, So. I just want

[43:01] to say thank you to staff for

[43:04] getting that done. Great job to

[43:04] everybody for putting that all

[43:05] together. It was really good,

[43:06] and I believe it

[43:07] s really going

[43:10] to help our public safety

[43:12] overall that also being said We

[43:14] had a probably one of our first

[43:16] in a while Public Traffic

[43:18] Safety commission meetings with

[43:21] myself, Um, Mr Carter and, um,

[43:58] city manager? I don

[43:58] t know if

[46:10] that passes 50 before recess

[46:13] and move on to our Temecula

[46:14] Community Services district

[46:15] meeting. We do have an addendum

[46:16] to the agenda and I

[46:17] d like to

[46:18] hand it off to our city

[46:20] attorney at this time for a

[46:22] brief staff report. Yes, Mr

[46:24] Mayor and members of the City

[46:26] Council. Um, as you know, the

[46:27] city experienced some very

[46:29] heavy rains over the weekend,

[46:30] and there were a couple of

[46:32] places where there were some

[46:36] substantial damage to storm

[46:37] drains and two roadways. The

[46:38] Brown Act normally requires

[46:41] that all items be listed on the

[46:43] agenda except in emergency

[46:44] situations such as this, so

[46:48] staff is recommending that you

[46:49] Adopting a motion that would

[46:52] add an agenda item to the

[46:53] agenda as a late action item

[46:55] finding that the need to take

[46:59] immediate action to repair

[47:01] these storm damages is requires

[47:03] immediate action and that that

[47:06] issue came to the attention of

[47:06] the city after the agenda was

[47:08] posted. And that

[47:09] s authorized

[47:12] by government code section

[47:13] 54954.2. So that would be the

[47:15] initial action that you take.

[47:17] And then I. Think. After that

[47:18] Mr Thomas will explain what has

[47:19] occurred. And. Then. There

[47:20] s a

[47:21] resolution providing for the

[47:25] emergency work to be done. Okay.

[47:26] Any questions of staff from

[47:29] council members right now. Okay?

[47:31] Um, I

[47:33] ll entertain a motion to

[47:36] that item to the agenda. Second

[47:38] No a motion first and then a

[47:39] second motion. Okay. Okay, so

[47:40] we have emotion in a second.

[47:49] Let us vote. Okay that passes

[47:51] 50, and now we can come to that

[47:52] island and I will turn it over

[47:54] to our public works Director

[47:56] Pat Thomas. Thank you mayor

[47:57] shrink so the events that

[47:59] occurred over the weekend where

[48:01] we had we found a couple of

[48:02] sinkholes and a few locations

[48:04] where storm drains are located.

[48:06] One of those is on Margarita

[48:08] Road just north of salon away

[48:10] on the west side of Margarita

[48:11] Road, and we we

[48:11] ve televised

[48:12] that storm drain have found

[48:13] that the storm buried actually

[48:14] did collapse and so will need

[48:15] to replace a portion of that

[48:17] storm drain. There

[48:18] s actually a

[48:20] road closure in place at that

[48:20] location right now, so that

[48:21] s

[48:23] one of the areas that is

[48:26] included, and the second area

[48:29] is at the eastern and of

[48:31] Santiago Road, where where it

[48:32] ends, basically from from in

[48:32] Ezra, there

[48:34] s a storm drain

[48:35] that again crosses Santiago

[48:37] Road that collapsed with the

[48:38] rains that needs to be repaired

[48:40] and replaced. And so we

[48:41] re

[48:45] asking the council to adopt a

[48:46] resolution declaring these

[48:48] emergency condition to exist

[48:49] and exempting us from the

[48:50] bidding requirements so that we

[48:52] can move forward with directly

[48:54] repairing and replacing the

[48:55] storm drains so that concludes

[48:57] staff report. Okay, Thank you

[48:58] any questions of staff on this

[49:01] item? Nope. Okay. No questions

[49:03] Mr City Attorney. Do we need to

[49:04] read the resolution. We, don

[49:05] t

[49:06] Okay, so I

[49:07] ll entertain a

[49:09] motion to motion and a second

[49:12] to approved. Sorry. I can

[49:12] t

[49:13] motion and a second let us vote.

[49:22] Okay. I

[49:24] m not seeing anything.

[49:24] I don

[49:24] t think anyone saying

[49:25] anything on our screens. There

[49:31] we go. Okay and that passes 50.

[49:33] Okay. Thank you, everyone for

[49:36] Indulging us on that item. Okay.

[49:38] I will recess the Temecula City

[49:39] Council meeting and turn it

[51:53] a staff report, please. Good

[51:54] evening, Mr Mayor, Council

[51:57] members. Money is Mark will be

[51:57] presenting this item for you

[52:00] today. As you mentioned this is

[52:04] lr 22-0182 amending titles five

[52:06] and 17 of the Temecula

[52:07] Municipal Code a little bit of

[52:08] background that Temecula

[52:10] municipal code as originally

[52:12] adopted in 1990 since its

[52:13] adoption that Temecula City

[52:14] Council has periodically made

[52:16] amendments to various sections

[52:18] of the code to improve its

[52:19] clarity, correct discrepancies,

[52:19] improved processes and

[52:21] implement state law. This

[52:23] proposed ordinance would amend

[52:25] title five business license and

[52:27] regulations and title 17 Zoning

[52:29] Temecula Municipal Code. Little

[52:30] bit of the history of the

[52:31] ordinance. This ordinance was

[52:33] presented to the Planning

[52:35] Commission Municipal Code

[52:35] maintenance subcommittee on

[52:38] NOVEMBER 2nd of 2022. And. This

[52:40] item was presented to the full

[52:42] Planning Commission on NOVEMBER

[52:45] 16th 2022 resolution number

[52:47] 22-34 was adopted, Recommending

[52:47] City Council approved the

[52:50] ordinance. Staff presented the

[52:51] City Council General Plan

[52:54] update ad hoc subcommittee on

[52:55] JANUARY, 24th and staff briefed

[52:58] the mayor and remaining council

[52:59] members individually on

[53:00] FEBRUARY, 14th and FEBRUARY

[53:01] 16th. Everyone

[53:03] s seen this. So

[53:05] jump right into the changes.

[53:05] There

[53:06] s a few of them, starting

[53:09] with Title five. Specifically

[53:10] dealing with massage

[53:10] establishments and the

[53:12] exemptions to them. This would

[53:13] clarify that massage

[53:15] establishment that chair

[53:16] massage businesses are only

[53:18] exempt from the maximum number

[53:22] of massage establishments and

[53:22] no conversion of chair. Massage

[53:23] businesses are permitted a new

[53:24] massage business license would

[53:27] be required. And for operations

[53:28] of this obviously massage

[53:29] establishments. It would

[53:31] require all massage businesses

[53:33] to establish and maintain a

[53:34] dedicated telephone physically

[53:36] located at the business and is

[53:37] capable of dialing out

[53:41] specifically to 911. Jumping

[53:44] into title 17 are open Space

[53:45] Conservation district would

[53:47] modify the open space

[53:48] conservations only designation

[53:49] definition to include passive

[53:51] recreational uses and limit

[53:53] profit profit generating

[53:54] activity to unlimited term for

[53:55] the schedule of permitted uses

[53:58] for open space and open space

[53:58] conservation zoning

[53:59] designations. We

[54:00] re going to

[54:02] include bicycle paths as a

[54:03] permitted use, and we

[54:04] re going

[54:05] to clarify that communication

[54:06] and microwave installations are

[54:08] not permitted in any open space

[54:13] zoning designation. Title 17

[54:13] continues for our definitions.

[54:14] We

[54:15] re going to consolidate

[54:16] guesthouse and secondary

[54:18] dwelling unit with that of the

[54:19] accessory dwelling unit, or 80

[54:21] you and expand that definition

[54:24] of a d you to include any

[54:24] efficiency unit and

[54:25] manufactured home in accordance

[54:26] with state law. We

[54:28] re going to

[54:29] add definitions for recreation

[54:31] uses active and recreation uses

[54:31] passive and we

[54:32] re going to

[54:34] modify the definition of

[54:35] alcoholic beverage manufacturer

[54:37] to include the accessory use of

[54:38] a single food truck at their

[54:40] location, subject to the

[54:41] requirements of Riverside

[54:42] County Ordinance number 580 and

[54:46] the Temecula Municipal Code.

[54:48] All right title, 17 continued

[54:49] for our approved specific plans.

[54:49] We

[54:50] re just going to update the

[54:52] numbers of the adopted specific

[54:54] plans to include uptown

[54:54] Temecula and the Altair

[54:56] specific plans. And then for

[54:58] our schedule of permitted uses

[55:00] for pdo is number four in pdo

[55:00] 10. We

[55:02] re going to implement

[55:06] the requirement of ordinance

[55:06] 2022-6 there Live Entertainment

[55:08] Ordinance. This was previously

[55:08] passwords implementing it for

[55:14] these two pos. Title 17

[55:15] continued for a residential

[55:15] districts. We

[55:16] re going to

[55:18] remove the guesthouse as an

[55:18] approved residential accessory

[55:21] Use 80 us will be used in this

[55:23] place and for residential

[55:24] accessory structures. We were

[55:24] removed Guesthouse and the

[55:26] associated note from the table

[55:28] 80 years will be used instead.

[55:30] And for the schedule permitted

[55:32] uses for pdo number two, We

[55:36] removed Guesthouse and

[55:37] secondary dwelling unit and add

[55:37] a d u is an approved by right

[55:41] accessory use. Right. And for a

[55:41] t u standards we

[55:43] re going to

[55:43] require all utility equipment

[55:45] such as window heating or

[55:46] cooling devices be screened

[55:48] from public view, and then it

[55:49] would incorporate the

[55:51] requirement of a b 3 45, which

[55:52] is the separate conveyance of

[55:55] the u. S. For. Our. Conditional

[55:57] use permits were going to

[55:58] require all establishments that

[55:59] have a c u p that includes the

[56:01] on site consumption of alcohol

[56:03] to physically post their c u p

[56:04] to include conditions of

[56:09] approval on site. Right for a

[56:10] supplemental development

[56:10] standards. We

[56:11] re going to

[56:12] clarify that the existing

[56:15] separation from a car wash and

[56:17] residential property is to the

[56:18] residential property line,

[56:20] inclusive, inclusive of all

[56:21] vacuum equipment. Air

[56:22] compressors. Any motors are

[56:22] pretty much anything that makes

[56:25] noise. And then we

[56:25] re going to

[56:27] implement parking garage

[56:28] standards. These are safety

[56:30] standards dealing with lighting,

[56:31] visibility, signage, fencing

[56:36] and not design guidelines. Okay

[56:38] flagpoles. We have two sections.

[56:38] We

[56:39] re going to be amending for

[56:41] our flagpole height limit.

[56:42] There was a discrepancy in the

[56:44] code. We had one The reference

[56:46] to 75 ft flagpole height limit,

[56:48] in one reference to 50. We

[56:48] re

[56:49] correcting that and we went

[56:54] with the 50 ft height limit. So

[56:56] for our planning and zoning

[56:57] approval authority. We

[56:58] re gonna

[56:59] require all modifications, all

[57:00] modification applications to a

[57:03] c. You go before a public

[57:04] hearing for consideration, then

[57:06] for our schedule of permitted

[57:07] uses for commercial office and

[57:08] industrial uses. We

[57:08] re gonna

[57:09] correct a reference for adult

[57:11] business. This doesn

[57:12] t change

[57:13] adult businesses at all. We

[57:13] re

[57:15] simply changing a reference of

[57:17] the citizenry can go to the

[57:17] right section. That

[57:21] s it. So

[57:22] our secret determination staff

[57:23] has determined that the

[57:24] proposed ordinance is

[57:26] categorically exemp. From, the

[57:27] California Environmental

[57:29] Quality Act Sequa to pursuant

[57:31] to title 14 Chapter three

[57:32] California Code of Regulations

[57:36] section 15061 b three Staff

[57:38] recommendation is that staff

[57:39] recommended the City council

[57:41] introduced and read by title

[57:43] only the proposed ordinance.

[57:43] I

[57:44] m available for any questions.

[57:48] All, right. Thank you for the

[57:49] presentation. Any questions. Um,

[57:52] Stuart. Um. So. Have we ever

[57:53] had a flagpole higher than 50

[57:55] ft in the city of Temecula. We

[57:58] do south End of town by the 76

[57:59] the jack in the box at the end

[58:01] down there that one is well in

[58:03] excess. Um. This would not

[58:04] require any Flagpole that is

[58:06] above that height limit to be

[58:08] taken down, modified in any way

[58:09] it would be considered legal

[58:10] nonconforming and could exist

[58:11] in perpetuity as long as it

[58:12] s

[58:15] maintained. Okay. Any other

[58:16] questions? I have a couple of

[58:17] questions. Thank you so much by

[58:19] the way for the presentation.

[58:20] Of course. Okay. So when I

[58:21] think mine was kind of the same

[58:22] thing with the flagpole because

[58:23] I know that over there, I

[58:24] believe it

[58:24] s a garrison flag.

[58:25] That

[58:26] s on that flagpole in

[58:30] itself. Um I. Guess. Just why

[58:32] are we making it lower? Is

[58:33] there any specific reasons?

[58:34] Because I. Look at it. Just,

[58:37] you know once we get lower on

[58:37] anything, it

[58:37] s hard to bring it

[58:39] back up to you know, maybe if

[58:40] somebody wants to come in and

[58:43] put in 75 ft flag. No, we are.

[58:44] There was no reason we went

[58:45] with the conservative of the

[58:47] two numbers and that was it was

[58:50] a discrepancy and we went with

[58:51] that. Okay. Is there. I can add

[58:54] a little bit too that, um

[58:55] Typically everything we do. We

[58:57] like to analyze the heck out of

[59:01] it and have this very, you know,

[59:02] articulated justification, And

[59:04] in this case, there was just

[59:05] Two separate allowances in the

[59:09] code, and we picked 50 ft to be

[59:10] reasonable. Um, if the council

[59:13] would like to raise that lower,

[59:15] it said, no limit. I mean

[59:15] that

[59:16] s really up to the council.

[59:17] We just had a discrepancy in

[59:19] the code, and we needed to

[59:21] clarify it. So. We chose 50 ft.

[59:23] We thought that was reasonable,

[59:24] and that

[59:24] s really it. Thank you.

[59:26] Is that something that we want

[59:28] to have a conversation about,

[59:29] Maybe just leaving it because

[59:30] there was some people that you

[59:31] know if it

[59:33] s 75, the max We can

[59:34] just leave it. I. Don

[59:34] t think

[59:34] it

[59:35] s really hurting anybody And

[59:37] what? How awesome to be able to

[59:39] see the American flag at 75 ft

[59:39] up. That

[59:41] s what I say So. I

[59:41] know what you

[59:41] re you

[59:41] re

[59:44] gentleman thought is I like 75

[59:49] ft. I like no limit. Amen.

[59:51] Build a fire. I like if they

[59:53] can put 500 ft flagpole. Let

[59:53] s

[59:55] do it. Okay. Should we should

[59:56] we do it, Luke said. We could

[59:59] do no limit. I mean, no limited.

[1:00:03] You might have some issues with

[1:00:06] the faa with put that in the

[1:00:06] resolution, I don

[1:00:07] t have a

[1:00:08] problem with it. I mean it.

[1:00:10] Clearly it was just picking a

[1:00:11] number and that

[1:00:11] s fine.

[1:00:16] Absolutely. 75 75. Well. I mean

[1:00:17] no limit is better than and if

[1:00:17] we

[1:00:19] re going to be better than

[1:00:21] we should be better than Well.

[1:00:22] What

[1:00:26] s your thought? 75 or

[1:00:27] Lucas. No limit problematic or

[1:00:30] do we have to have it looks

[1:00:31] like, uh, it

[1:00:31] s it

[1:00:31] s hard to say,

[1:00:33] but, yeah, no limit probably

[1:00:35] would end up causing some

[1:00:36] problems somewhere along the

[1:00:40] line, so I think 75 more than

[1:00:42] reasonable that

[1:00:42] s extremely

[1:00:43] high maintenance over 75 years

[1:00:46] to be. Yeah, you need

[1:00:47] helicopter at a certain point

[1:00:47] you

[1:00:49] re gna have to put lights

[1:00:50] on it. You know Warren aircraft

[1:00:52] and things like that, So. Okay,

[1:00:52] I

[1:00:54] m 75 with me. Okay. We

[1:00:55] re

[1:00:56] good with that, Um, I just got

[1:00:59] a couple of just just from my

[1:01:00] understanding Also. So with the

[1:01:02] massage parlors and we we know

[1:01:05] obviously this has been an

[1:01:07] ongoing thing. Why? Why, do you

[1:01:10] Are? We going to specifically

[1:01:11] Keilar Ordinance to the massage

[1:01:12] parlor for a phone. Is there

[1:01:14] anybody else who has to have

[1:01:15] that same thing or like having

[1:01:17] a phone in there? Or what does

[1:01:17] that look like? It was

[1:01:19] primarily because of the

[1:01:20] enforcement actions going on

[1:01:21] throughout the city. There was

[1:01:23] times when the police code

[1:01:24] enforcement building and safety

[1:01:26] fire would show up during

[1:01:28] normal hours of operation and

[1:01:28] the business would appear

[1:01:30] closed and there was no way to

[1:01:32] physically reach them inside.

[1:01:33] Their contact number would

[1:01:34] bring to a cell phone or

[1:01:36] business line, not at the

[1:01:37] location and they could just

[1:01:38] they were not home. So. This

[1:01:40] way. We can have that the phone

[1:01:41] inside ringing and we know that

[1:01:41] they

[1:01:42] re going to physically be

[1:01:43] there. There

[1:01:44] s also a safety

[1:01:47] issue for any business involves

[1:01:47] physical contact between people

[1:01:49] do we ever do we have that with

[1:01:51] other other other, Um

[1:01:52] Organizations or businesses as

[1:01:55] well to be able to have that in

[1:01:57] there as well to proposing it

[1:01:59] for for these massage

[1:02:01] establishments. There was an

[1:02:02] actual, very specific incident,

[1:02:03] where a gentleman went to

[1:02:05] cardiac arrest and no one in

[1:02:07] the facility had a phone. So.

[1:02:10] We have a very specific reason

[1:02:12] for for requiring it in this

[1:02:13] circumstance so we hadn

[1:02:13] t

[1:02:15] analyzed any other business

[1:02:17] type. Just massage

[1:02:18] establishments. Okay, alright

[1:02:19] and my last one, and I

[1:02:19] m done

[1:02:21] just it was brought up about

[1:02:22] the a. D. U. S, if you can do

[1:02:25] me a favor and just kind of

[1:02:26] discuss what that is in detail.

[1:02:30] Ah! How did the state in itself.

[1:02:32] Do they have any control over

[1:02:34] that? Um why are we doing Why

[1:02:34] are we doing what we

[1:02:36] re doing?

[1:02:37] Well, yes. So going back to

[1:02:40] just a few years ago, Eight eu

[1:02:44] laws started to be issued by

[1:02:45] the state Legislature.

[1:02:48] Essentially. Those laws Make 80

[1:02:50] us by right use within the city

[1:02:52] of Temecula. So anyone who has

[1:02:55] a home can do an 80 You state

[1:02:56] dictated that and that

[1:02:56] s that

[1:02:56] s

[1:02:58] the law of the land. So what

[1:02:58] we

[1:03:00] re doing here tonight is is

[1:03:04] not in any way. Um, uh,

[1:03:05] changing or attempting to

[1:03:07] circumvent or anything to do

[1:03:10] with the primary laws that make

[1:03:13] a tus permitted uses. What

[1:03:13] we

[1:03:15] re doing is clarifying in

[1:03:17] the code. Um, so over time that

[1:03:22] the code has Ah had definitions

[1:03:24] for guesthouse and accessory

[1:03:25] dwelling unit and efficiency

[1:03:28] unit and Granny flat and second

[1:03:31] home and all these different

[1:03:33] definitions for what is

[1:03:35] essentially the same thing. So

[1:03:35] what we

[1:03:37] re proposing is to take

[1:03:38] all those individual

[1:03:39] definitions and just call them

[1:03:41] 80 us. Part of that is required

[1:03:43] by the state. But we took it a

[1:03:45] little further to capture all

[1:03:46] of the other definitions that

[1:03:47] we want, You know all the other

[1:03:49] designations that we want to

[1:03:51] create a consistent definition

[1:03:53] for, um and and that does a

[1:03:55] couple of things it also it

[1:03:56] makes it the code easier to use

[1:03:58] for the public. They can

[1:03:58] t get

[1:03:59] what am I doing a granny flat,

[1:04:01] or am I doing a guest house or

[1:04:02] my doing an 80 you It

[1:04:03] s all the

[1:04:05] same thing effectively is all

[1:04:06] the same thing, so it makes it

[1:04:09] easier. It makes it easier for

[1:04:11] staff to administer, and it

[1:04:13] also allows staff and the city

[1:04:15] to get credit under our arena

[1:04:17] numbers at the state when an 80

[1:04:18] you is created because we have

[1:04:19] as you all know Rena numbers

[1:04:21] and we need to make progress

[1:04:25] towards the satisfaction of

[1:04:26] those. And. We need

[1:04:26] them to be actually defined as

[1:04:27] an 80 you in the code for us to

[1:04:30] be able to tell the state and a

[1:04:31] d u was created here and we get

[1:04:32] credit for it. It

[1:04:33] s called the

[1:04:33] Guesthouse If it

[1:04:34] s called this

[1:04:36] that or the other thing, Um, we

[1:04:37] will be much harder for us to

[1:04:38] get credit for it. So. That

[1:04:38] s

[1:04:39] another reason we wanted to

[1:04:41] just make everything that is an

[1:04:44] 80 you Defined as an a d u Okay?

[1:04:47] All right? I do have one

[1:04:49] question on the I d. You are

[1:04:50] manufactured homes currently

[1:04:51] allowed in single family zoning.

[1:04:54] They are and as an a d you they

[1:04:57] would be as well. Is there a

[1:04:58] minimum square foot requirement.

[1:05:00] It is the minimum of an

[1:05:01] efficiency unit. I believe it

[1:05:03] s

[1:05:04] 125 square feet, but I could

[1:05:04] get back with you the exact

[1:05:08] answer. And just pertaining to

[1:05:10] this specific ordinance if

[1:05:11] approved a manufactured home

[1:05:13] and be approved as an ado,

[1:05:14] Currently it is separate than a

[1:05:16] do you you have to get a permit

[1:05:17] for manufactured home on a

[1:05:18] single families own property

[1:05:21] rather now, just being a d u

[1:05:23] under one umbrella right now,

[1:05:24] state law allows the

[1:05:25] manufactured home. We

[1:05:25] re just

[1:05:26] updating our code to reflect

[1:05:28] that so they could come in

[1:05:29] right now, with a manufactured

[1:05:30] home as an 80 you under state

[1:05:34] law. Thank you. Okay. Any more

[1:05:36] questions? Alright. Seeing,

[1:05:37] then this is a public hearing,

[1:05:37] so we

[1:05:39] re gonna open the public

[1:05:40] hearing for comments. MADAM

[1:05:42] City clerk. Do. We have any

[1:05:43] public speakers? Yes, we have

[1:06:03] the bus bill that had all this

[1:06:06] new stuff in it, And I came to

[1:06:09] understand that it is actually

[1:06:14] changing certain items in in

[1:06:14] the bill or the the law. The

[1:06:16] Ordinance, and I just looked at

[1:06:18] how many items around here and

[1:06:18] there

[1:06:21] s uh well, let me see.

[1:06:21] There

[1:06:23] s a lot and it goes from

[1:06:29] everything from flagpole

[1:06:32] Heights, too. To 80 years for

[1:06:34] the uses the thing that caught

[1:06:37] my eye caught The Eye of Rick

[1:06:43] Review wrote something on this.

[1:06:43] It

[1:06:44] s uh, it was it

[1:06:45] s time to

[1:06:48] really stand up as every city

[1:06:49] in California should do against

[1:07:12] t

[1:08:21] findings The City Council

[1:08:24] hereby finds that this

[1:08:25] ordinance is exempt. From the

[1:08:28] requirements of the California

[1:08:28] Environmental Quality Act

[1:08:30] pursuant to title 14 of the

[1:08:33] California Code of Regulations.

[1:08:35] It actually supersedes itself.

[1:08:37] How can it Law one law

[1:08:38] supersedes another without a

[1:08:39] court case going on. There

[1:08:39] s

[1:08:41] got to be some fight back here

[1:08:41] if you don

[1:08:42] t fight back,

[1:08:52] Few of you Stand up and say, I

[1:08:52] don

[1:08:54] t want to support this

[1:08:55] particular thing. I understand

[1:08:55] that there

[1:08:56] s a lot of other

[1:08:57] things in this ordinance that

[1:08:58] are good. I don

[1:08:58] t think it

[1:09:01] should have been put in all in

[1:09:01] one ordinance should have

[1:09:04] broken out. Just my opinion. Go

[1:09:08] back to the charter City idea.

[1:09:10] You have in that ability to

[1:09:12] stand up against municipal

[1:09:14] codes at the state level if you

[1:09:17] created a charter city You have

[1:09:18] as much power or more power

[1:09:21] than the state does. That power

[1:09:24] came from a law at 18 59.

[1:09:28] Excuse me 18 79 20 years of

[1:09:29] state controlled the cities

[1:09:30] until the city

[1:09:30] s took the state

[1:09:34] back. So. I just recommend that

[1:09:38] You When. You look at this boat

[1:09:39] knowing that particular item.

[1:09:41] You can feel the rest just on

[1:09:42] the rest. Oh, and by the way,

[1:09:46] when you have a flagpole,

[1:09:46] there

[1:09:47] s plenty of flight both

[1:09:50] bigger than 50 ft where I live.

[1:09:54] But In the law. I noticed that

[1:09:54] already it

[1:09:55] s codified as single

[1:09:57] flag of the United States of

[1:09:58] America because you can fly a

[1:10:00] flag. Okay. You can fly a, uh,

[1:10:04] American flag. And two of the

[1:10:05] following flags shall be

[1:10:07] allowed per parcel or center.

[1:10:08] Okay. So we

[1:10:08] re talking about,

[1:10:12] you know, um City property or

[1:10:14] public property or private

[1:10:14] property. I don

[1:10:15] t know is it

[1:10:17] say? I don

[1:10:19] t know if it means

[1:10:20] the public property or private

[1:10:24] property. Anyway, um, so the

[1:10:25] state of California or any

[1:10:26] other state of the United

[1:10:29] States. So If I want to fly a

[1:10:31] Mississippi flag? I can fight

[1:10:34] flam Mississippi flag. The

[1:10:37] Hawaiian flag, a Alaskan flood.

[1:10:37] Um, maybe somebody

[1:10:39] s here from

[1:10:41] out of town. You, get another

[1:10:42] country to it. Red China.

[1:10:46] Etcetera. A minister Haliti or

[1:10:47] official flag of other

[1:10:53] countries. Flags of national An

[1:10:53] internationally recognized

[1:10:54] organizations and corporate

[1:10:55] flex. Something

[1:10:55] s wrong with

[1:10:57] that law. Thank you. Thank you

[1:11:02] Next speaker. And. That was the

[1:11:04] only income it speaker and then

[1:11:06] we have one. Email comment from

[1:11:09] Jessica Christopher. I believe

[1:11:11] it is as to item number 12. I

[1:11:12] believe it is unconstitutional

[1:11:14] for the state to tell local

[1:11:15] government what zoning we

[1:11:17] should have. I understand the

[1:11:18] difficulty that opposing sb

[1:11:21] nine and sb 10 posed to our

[1:11:22] coffers. I think the work

[1:11:23] around that is presented is

[1:11:25] likely the best that can be

[1:11:26] done, But I don

[1:11:28] t like section

[1:11:31] 15 17.23 point 050 e two The

[1:11:33] parking limitations, maybe an

[1:11:34] excellent way to minimize the

[1:11:36] impact of these two horrible

[1:11:37] bills. In the long run, I

[1:11:38] believe it would benefit the

[1:11:40] city to fight these bills. Sb

[1:11:41] nine, being the worst of the

[1:11:45] two And section 19 see flags

[1:11:47] number two, a single flag of

[1:11:48] the United States of America

[1:11:50] and two of the following flags

[1:11:52] shall be permitted per parcel

[1:11:54] or center sections. A b c d.

[1:11:56] Even though this is I believe

[1:11:58] geared to business. I think it

[1:12:00] is unacceptable and an attack

[1:12:01] on freedom of speech. A company

[1:12:03] should be encouraged to fly the

[1:12:04] United States flag and it

[1:12:06] should be above others but to

[1:12:08] say what other flags and how

[1:12:11] many are unacceptable. Item

[1:12:12] number 14 concerning a ballot

[1:12:13] measure to establish city

[1:12:16] Council term limits. I want to

[1:12:17] commend City Council members

[1:12:18] Alexander Cafes and Stewart for

[1:12:19] hearing the city

[1:12:20] s people and

[1:12:21] voting for this. I would only

[1:12:22] say that if someone is

[1:12:24] appointed to an open City

[1:12:25] council seat that it be

[1:12:27] clarified and minimize so that

[1:12:28] they serve the least amount of

[1:12:30] time possible. Mr mayor. That

[1:12:30] s

[1:12:32] all the comments that we have

[1:12:34] on this item. Okay. Fantastic.

[1:12:36] Um, Mr City Attorney Do. You

[1:12:39] need to read the ordinance.

[1:12:40] Actually, I do not starting on

[1:12:42] JANUARY 1st of this year, the

[1:12:43] state Legislature passed a law

[1:12:44] saying we don

[1:12:45] t have to read

[1:12:48] the titles so long as the city

[1:12:50] has the ordinance on its

[1:12:51] website and online so everybody

[1:12:53] can read it so Fantastic big

[1:12:55] change from But we

[1:12:57] ve had to do

[1:12:58] in the past. Okay. I appreciate

[1:12:59] that. Alright. I

[1:12:59] ll entertain a

[1:13:00] motion to approve item number

[1:13:04] 12. So moved second motion a

[1:13:07] second. Let us vote City clerk.

[1:13:08] Quick question for you if there

[1:13:09] is something from this item

[1:13:11] that I want to sustain from or

[1:13:12] just give a reason for doing

[1:13:15] that is now the time. Okay. Can

[1:13:20] I do that? Mayor. Absolutely Go

[1:13:20] ahead. So. Um I

[1:13:21] ll tell you I

[1:13:21] m

[1:13:23] going to be totally honest

[1:13:24] these things as I looked at him

[1:13:26] over the last week are a couple

[1:13:29] of days. Um, I was able to dig

[1:13:30] in today. Having some

[1:13:31] individuals come from the our

[1:13:34] city and the area. Rick Reese

[1:13:36] brought some stuff up. Um.

[1:13:37] Everybody should know where I

[1:13:39] stand as far as state control.

[1:13:41] I have never wanted the state

[1:13:42] s

[1:13:43] control here. We actually had a

[1:13:45] meeting today as far as having

[1:13:46] the state

[1:13:46] s control come into

[1:13:47] our city, and I

[1:13:48] m quite sick of

[1:13:49] it, and I

[1:13:49] m going to I have

[1:13:51] been standing and I will stand

[1:13:53] as a city Council member. No

[1:13:54] matter What that this is our

[1:13:55] city, and we know what

[1:13:56] s best

[1:13:57] for our city and for our

[1:14:00] housing. Coming from what the

[1:14:02] count of the The comments came

[1:14:03] today. I understand what

[1:14:03] they

[1:14:05] re saying, because if we

[1:14:08] continue to Oh, allow this

[1:14:10] stuff and the language to come

[1:14:12] into our city. We are We are

[1:14:14] basically giving a thumbs up.

[1:14:15] My staff doesn

[1:14:16] t excellent job.

[1:14:18] Um And. So I want to thank you

[1:14:19] guys for all you

[1:14:20] re doing, but

[1:14:22] I will be sustaining or I will

[1:14:23] sustain from nine just because

[1:14:25] I feel as a council member. I

[1:14:26] would need more information in

[1:14:28] order to be able to move

[1:14:29] forward to give that a good

[1:14:32] thumbs up or thumbs down. But

[1:14:33] for everything else. I

[1:14:33] d like

[1:14:36] to go and say yes to your gonna

[1:14:37] abstain from item number nine?

[1:14:39] Yes. Kid, I get a point of

[1:14:44] clarification. Absolutely. Um

[1:14:49] Okay. So Luke Is this not Just

[1:14:51] a cleanup in language. This is

[1:14:51] not. We

[1:14:52] ve already approved all

[1:14:55] this stuff correct. Yeah. I

[1:14:57] mean if it comes to 80 us to

[1:14:58] use our it

[1:15:00] s in state law. So,

[1:15:01] Regardless of what our

[1:15:03] municipal code said. 80 use are

[1:15:04] allowed. This is just to like I

[1:15:07] said. This is just a

[1:15:09] definitional thing. So, so

[1:15:09] consistency and definitions.

[1:15:11] This argument has already been

[1:15:11] done. We

[1:15:13] re just changing the

[1:15:14] wording to make it simpler and

[1:15:16] more understandable. To the

[1:15:19] public. Yes. That and so we can

[1:15:20] get credit at the state. Farina

[1:15:21] got it. I just wanted to make

[1:15:22] that clear. It

[1:15:22] s it seems like

[1:15:24] people have the wrong

[1:15:26] impression that somehow we

[1:15:26] re

[1:15:28] pushing through a dus when

[1:15:28] that

[1:15:31] s already been done, so

[1:15:33] Okay. Thank you councilor would

[1:15:37] like to to abstain from Okay?

[1:15:38] Yeah, and I think that you know,

[1:15:42] some of this stuff is the the

[1:15:43] elicit a certain reaction when

[1:15:43] we

[1:15:44] re just trying to clean this

[1:15:45] up to make it easier on staff

[1:15:47] and easier on the community, So

[1:15:50] okay, entertain a motion to

[1:15:51] approve item number 12. Some of

[1:15:53] Second Okay, so we have the

[1:15:55] motion in a second. Let us vote.

[1:16:07] Okay. So that passes 50, with a

[1:16:10] noted abstentions. Okay. We

[1:16:10] re

[1:16:13] moving on to the business

[1:16:15] section of our calendar. We

[1:16:16] have remember 13, which is

[1:16:19] review fiscal year 2023 24

[1:16:20] budget policies and priorities

[1:16:20] and I

[1:16:22] ll go ahead and pass this

[1:16:24] over to director Hennessy for a

[1:16:27] staff report. Thank you. Good

[1:16:27] Evening Mayor, City Council

[1:16:30] members. The item before you

[1:16:32] Tonight is an agenda item that

[1:16:33] we do each year at the

[1:16:35] beginning of our budget process.

[1:16:36] Um, I

[1:16:38] ll provide a brief

[1:16:40] background will do a budget

[1:16:40] process overview. I

[1:16:41] ll give you

[1:16:42] the key highlights of the

[1:16:43] current year

[1:16:44] s budget, and then

[1:16:44] we

[1:16:46] ll review some budget

[1:16:48] priorities and budget policies.

[1:16:50] That have been previously set

[1:16:53] by prior councils. So each year

[1:16:55] at the beginning of our budget

[1:16:57] process, we bring this item to

[1:17:00] you. It is in accordance with

[1:17:04] our government Finance Officers

[1:17:05] Association best practices and

[1:17:08] what it includes is basically

[1:17:09] increasing the engagement of

[1:17:11] the council commissions in the

[1:17:11] public throughout the budget

[1:17:14] process. Do, a financial policy

[1:17:18] review. I use of other forms of

[1:17:21] communication, so they want an

[1:17:22] increase in videos and social

[1:17:24] media and the like throughout

[1:17:27] our budget documents and then

[1:17:28] do strategic planning process.

[1:17:30] Uh and we have that outlined in

[1:17:33] our budget document and as well

[1:17:34] as include performance measures.

[1:17:35] They are now mandatory. The

[1:17:36] City is always included them,

[1:17:41] but they are now mandatory as

[1:17:41] part of this program. Um and

[1:17:42] the city has incorporated to

[1:17:43] these requirements into our

[1:17:46] process. Each year. In JANUARY,

[1:17:49] We begin our budget process by

[1:17:51] reviewing the current year

[1:17:52] revenues and expenditures and

[1:17:54] then we also update our five

[1:17:55] year financial projections. And.

[1:17:58] Then in FEBRUARY. We. Bring to

[1:17:59] you the council, the mid Year

[1:18:01] Budget Update for the current

[1:18:03] year and then we kick off the

[1:18:03] next year

[1:18:05] s budget and Capital

[1:18:07] Improvement program process. Um,

[1:18:10] during the months of MARCH and

[1:18:12] APRIL staff develops the

[1:18:13] proposed annual operating

[1:18:16] budget and c I p And then

[1:18:16] that

[1:18:17] s presented to the council

[1:18:19] at the Budget Workshop in MAY,

[1:18:23] and that is your opportunity to

[1:18:23] review the proposed budget and

[1:18:25] c, I p and then provide any

[1:18:26] comments or changes that you

[1:18:26] d

[1:18:28] like to see incorporated into

[1:18:29] the adopted budget, which was

[1:18:31] presented at the first meeting

[1:18:33] in JUNE of each year. And then

[1:18:35] throughout the remainder of the

[1:18:38] year, JULY through DECEMBER, um,

[1:18:39] finance works with departments

[1:18:41] to do ongoing analysis

[1:18:43] reviewing budget actuals for

[1:18:45] both revenues and expenditures

[1:18:46] and identifying any adjustments

[1:18:49] that would be needed to be made

[1:18:53] at the future Mid year process.

[1:18:55] Um budget adjustments for

[1:18:56] existing funding can be made

[1:18:57] administratively throughout the

[1:19:00] . But any additional

[1:19:01] appropriations or new funding

[1:19:04] must be approved by council.

[1:19:06] There are several key

[1:19:07] deliverables throughout the

[1:19:08] budget process, the first of

[1:19:09] which is the preliminary budget,

[1:19:11] and this is an internal

[1:19:13] document that contains all of

[1:19:15] the departmental requests

[1:19:15] that

[1:19:16] s developed in the MARCH

[1:19:17] APRIL time frame, and then

[1:19:18] that

[1:19:19] s presented to the city

[1:19:22] manager who reviews that and

[1:19:22] then makes his recommendations

[1:19:23] into what we call the proposed

[1:19:26] budget. And the proposed budget

[1:19:27] is what is presented at the MAY

[1:19:30] budget workshop. To, the

[1:19:32] council and then finally, the

[1:19:34] adopted budget is presented

[1:19:36] again in the first meeting in

[1:19:37] JUNE, as I mentioned and then

[1:19:40] also part of the budget process

[1:19:42] that happens currently, and

[1:19:43] FEBRUARY and MARCH are the

[1:19:44] budget engagement sessions that

[1:19:45] are held with each commission

[1:19:47] and board, which you heard

[1:19:48] earlier tonight. Last Week We

[1:19:50] met with the Public Traffic

[1:19:50] Safety Commission, and tomorrow

[1:19:52] we meet With another commission.

[1:19:57] So shifting gears to give you

[1:19:58] the budget highlights. This was

[1:20:01] as of the mid year budget that

[1:20:03] was provided in FEBRUARY. Um,

[1:20:03] we

[1:20:04] re focusing right here on

[1:20:06] the General Fund, which is the

[1:20:06] city

[1:20:08] s primary operating fund.

[1:20:10] And on this slide. You can see

[1:20:11] that our revenues are expected

[1:20:13] to exceed $111 million this

[1:20:15] year. The book of which comes

[1:20:19] from sales tax. And then on the

[1:20:23] chart here, the black line

[1:20:24] reflects revenues and the blue

[1:20:26] bars reflect expenditures. And

[1:20:26] what

[1:20:29] s notable here is that the

[1:20:30] revenues exceed the

[1:20:31] expenditures each and every

[1:20:33] year, indicating that we are

[1:20:34] structurally balanced. Um not

[1:20:36] only in the current fiscal year,

[1:20:38] but for the next five years

[1:20:39] through our projections, and

[1:20:40] then you can also see in the

[1:20:42] black lion there that it levels

[1:20:45] out between fiscal year 22 23

[1:20:50] next fiscal year. And that is

[1:20:52] anticipation of a potential

[1:20:53] economic contraction or really,

[1:20:55] just leveling out of our of the

[1:20:57] majority of our revenue sources

[1:20:58] which are tied to the local

[1:21:03] economy. Expenditures of the

[1:21:04] General fund will total a

[1:21:06] little over 93 million for this

[1:21:08] fiscal year, the book of which

[1:21:10] is dedicated towards public

[1:21:12] safety with our police and fire

[1:21:13] contracts, noted there and then

[1:21:15] public works makes up 20%. And

[1:21:17] that includes not only the

[1:21:20] public works staffing, but also

[1:21:21] several contractual services,

[1:21:22] um, approved earlier tonight as

[1:21:25] an example. And, the

[1:21:25] administration

[1:21:26] s 14% community

[1:21:28] development, 9% and then non

[1:21:33] departmental is is 1%. And.

[1:21:34] Then this slide illustrates

[1:21:37] what the available fund

[1:21:37] balances within the General

[1:21:41] fund. So at the end of the

[1:21:41] current fiscal year, it

[1:21:41] s

[1:21:43] projected to reach $37.1

[1:21:49] million. And of that 37 point

[1:21:50] 1,000,018 37.0.6 million is

[1:21:52] dedicated for the reserve for

[1:21:55] economic and certainty. And 4.6

[1:21:56] million for the secondary

[1:21:58] reserve, and both of those are

[1:22:00] reserved levels that are set by

[1:22:01] budget policy, and we

[1:22:01] ll

[1:22:02] discuss that in a little while,

[1:22:03] Um, But it

[1:22:05] s important to note

[1:22:07] that those reserves have never

[1:22:11] have never been tapped into, um

[1:22:11] throughout the city

[1:22:11] s history

[1:22:12] that I

[1:22:16] m aware o. Not That

[1:22:17] leaves about 13 million in

[1:22:20] available fund balance. And.

[1:22:21] One item to note on the chart,

[1:22:23] so the fund balance is

[1:22:24] reflected in the blue bars and

[1:22:26] then the black line reflects

[1:22:30] the Levels of reserve funding

[1:22:31] and then the yellow diamond

[1:22:33] reflects the desired level of

[1:22:35] reserve funding. So We are

[1:22:37] meeting our reserve are desired

[1:22:39] level of reserves each year

[1:22:39] throughout the five year

[1:22:42] forecast, as well as historical

[1:22:45] And the drop in fund balance

[1:22:47] between fiscal years 21 22 the

[1:22:51] current fiscal year. Relates to

[1:22:52] a recently adopted budget

[1:22:54] policy related to our debt

[1:22:55] strategy. Pay down, which I

[1:22:56] have a few slides coming up

[1:22:57] that illustrates where we are

[1:23:01] on that. And. Then we have our

[1:23:03] five year capital improvement

[1:23:06] program. Um, currently we have

[1:23:07] 106 separate projects totaling

[1:23:11] a little over $801 million. Of

[1:23:11] that there

[1:23:14] s 518 Million yet to

[1:23:16] complete with 283 million

[1:23:19] already completed. And we break

[1:23:21] out our capital improvement

[1:23:23] program into different

[1:23:24] categories. Circulation

[1:23:25] infrastructure parks and rec

[1:23:27] and then started which is also

[1:23:28] affordable housing. So our

[1:23:30] total c I. P again is little

[1:23:36] over $801 million So budget

[1:23:38] priorities are determined, Um

[1:23:40] Through or they linked to our

[1:23:41] strategic plan known as the

[1:23:42] Quality of Life Master Plan and

[1:23:45] the q. L m, p, As, you know,

[1:23:46] recently updated to include 1/7

[1:23:50] Corps value. So. We have all

[1:23:52] seven core values identified

[1:23:53] throughout the budget document.

[1:23:56] In, the form of performance

[1:23:57] measures and capital projects

[1:24:00] all linked back to a specific

[1:24:02] core value. And that is how we

[1:24:03] ensure that the application of

[1:24:05] our resources are in line with

[1:24:06] the city

[1:24:09] s core values. There

[1:24:09] s

[1:24:11] several tools that we utilize

[1:24:13] when we start to build the

[1:24:15] operating budget in the capital

[1:24:16] Improvement program budget, the

[1:24:18] first of which are carry overs

[1:24:19] from the prior year. So what

[1:24:21] that includes the city programs

[1:24:22] or projects that were started

[1:24:25] in the previous fiscal year

[1:24:25] that maybe weren

[1:24:26] t completed.

[1:24:27] We ensure that the funding for

[1:24:29] those projects are carried over

[1:24:30] into the new fiscal year. So

[1:24:32] that we can bring those

[1:24:35] projects to completion. And,

[1:24:36] then we do. Um every every so

[1:24:38] often we do community

[1:24:39] satisfaction surveys and we

[1:24:41] received that feedback from the

[1:24:43] community and that helps

[1:24:45] influence what programs and

[1:24:46] projects are most important to

[1:24:47] the community and were

[1:24:49] scheduled to do another one

[1:24:50] next fiscal year to reach out

[1:24:52] to the community. And. Then we

[1:24:54] do the board and commissioned

[1:24:57] feedback as I mentioned before

[1:24:57] and then we

[1:24:58] ll incorporate that

[1:24:59] feedback into the proposed

[1:25:00] budget that will come forward

[1:25:03] to you in MAY. And then a

[1:25:05] variety of departments have

[1:25:06] program and services Master

[1:25:08] plans, so the programs and

[1:25:08] projects that are identified in

[1:25:10] those master plans are weaved

[1:25:12] into the either the operating

[1:25:13] budget or the capital

[1:25:15] Improvement Program budget,

[1:25:16] whichever is, um most relevant.

[1:25:18] And. Then. Finally the

[1:25:20] different City Council policies,

[1:25:23] which will review next So the

[1:25:25] budget and fiscal policies.

[1:25:27] Policies are part of the annual

[1:25:29] operating budget, and they are

[1:25:31] adopted each year in JUNE.

[1:25:33] There are several policies that

[1:25:35] impact the development process

[1:25:36] of the budget, which will

[1:25:38] highlight here. Um, one of

[1:25:40] which is the fund balance and

[1:25:45] reserve policy. The Measure s

[1:25:46] appropriation policy priorities,

[1:25:48] contingency planning, and then

[1:25:49] the debt or liability paid out

[1:25:54] strategy. So the fund balance

[1:25:55] and reserve policy. Uh, we have

[1:25:57] a few charts or a few slides

[1:25:59] here that illustrate the

[1:25:59] different components of fund

[1:26:03] balance. Um, the fund balance

[1:26:06] is the accumulation of savings

[1:26:08] year to year when revenues

[1:26:09] exceed expenditures. And they

[1:26:10] made it

[1:26:11] s made up of four

[1:26:12] primary components, the first

[1:26:15] of which is the reserve for

[1:26:16] economic uncertainty, and this

[1:26:19] reflects 20% of the general

[1:26:23] fund operating expenditures.

[1:26:24] The Secondary reserve

[1:26:27] represents 5% of the General

[1:26:28] fund operating expenditures.

[1:26:31] And, then the third category is

[1:26:33] a signed fund balance, so this

[1:26:34] is a portion of the fund

[1:26:35] balance that

[1:26:36] s committed to

[1:26:39] future obligations. So capital

[1:26:39] Improvement Program projects

[1:26:42] are the primary example. There.

[1:26:43] And, then finally available

[1:26:46] fund balance, So that is the

[1:26:47] uncommitted, remaining balance

[1:26:49] left within the general fund

[1:26:51] after accounting for those

[1:26:55] other three categories. So. The

[1:26:57] available General Fund balance

[1:26:57] or it

[1:26:58] s also sometimes called

[1:27:01] the unassigned fund balance.

[1:27:03] Councils previous councils have

[1:27:05] said the appropriation

[1:27:06] priorities for these funds, Um

[1:27:06] it

[1:27:07] s important to consider that

[1:27:10] these are one time funds, so

[1:27:11] the appropriation priorities

[1:27:12] reflect that, so the first

[1:27:16] priority would be to spend any

[1:27:18] available fund balance on

[1:27:19] public safety equipment or non

[1:27:23] recurring programs. Second

[1:27:25] would be to, uh, deposit the

[1:27:27] funds into asset management

[1:27:28] reserves and asset management

[1:27:29] reserves are separate funds

[1:27:33] that are set up somewhat like

[1:27:33] savings accounts where it

[1:27:35] accumulates funds so that when

[1:27:37] an asset such as a vehicle or a

[1:27:38] large piece of equipment when

[1:27:40] that reaches the end of its

[1:27:41] useful life, the funds are

[1:27:43] there to replace that asset.

[1:27:46] The third priority is Capital

[1:27:47] improvement projects. The

[1:27:49] fourth is the reduction of

[1:27:51] unfunded liabilities related to

[1:27:53] the Calpers pension. Or open,

[1:27:54] which stands for other post

[1:27:57] employment benefits. And then

[1:27:58] the fifth is reduction or

[1:28:03] avoidance of city debt. Ah,

[1:28:07] measure s when it was passed in

[1:28:08] 2016 became effective in 2017

[1:28:11] and the council at that time

[1:28:13] adopted these appropriation

[1:28:15] guidelines for the spending of

[1:28:17] measure us, the first of which

[1:28:19] is public safety. The, Second

[1:28:20] is asset management and then

[1:28:22] capital improvement projects

[1:28:24] and then finally, community

[1:28:25] services or general services.

[1:28:26] And you can see from the page

[1:28:28] chart here. The majority of the

[1:28:31] funding for measures is going

[1:28:32] towards capital projects

[1:28:35] currently, um, but when we

[1:28:36] appropriate when we appropriate

[1:28:38] measures in the budget, we

[1:28:40] first ensure that public safety

[1:28:41] is fully funded. Uh and then

[1:28:44] our asset management. And then

[1:28:45] capital projects and then

[1:28:46] community services. So. We

[1:28:47] follow these appropriation

[1:28:48] guidelines when we

[1:28:48] re building

[1:28:50] the budget document. And then

[1:28:52] as time goes on, and the cost

[1:28:54] of public safety and community

[1:28:55] services increases that will

[1:28:57] leave less and less over time

[1:29:02] for capital projects. We also

[1:29:03] have a policy for contingency

[1:29:06] planning. And. Basically. This

[1:29:09] lays out the, um the use of our

[1:29:10] secondary reserve. So when

[1:29:10] there

[1:29:12] s a one time event, such

[1:29:15] as a state mandated payment or

[1:29:18] natural disaster, we would tap

[1:29:20] into the secondary reserve

[1:29:22] first and fully exhaust that

[1:29:23] reserve before utilizing the

[1:29:23] reserve for economic

[1:29:27] uncertainty. And for ongoing

[1:29:28] fiscal constraints. So an

[1:29:30] example of this would be if we

[1:29:33] lost a major business that was

[1:29:35] a major sales tax generator. Um,

[1:29:39] we would utilize the secondary

[1:29:41] Reserve first before using the

[1:29:41] reserve for economic

[1:29:42] uncertainty, But there

[1:29:43] s a

[1:29:44] limitation to only use those

[1:29:46] reserves for a two year budget

[1:29:49] cycle, so that would give the

[1:29:51] city enough time to reduce its

[1:29:53] itsxpenditures in rehab in

[1:29:54] reaction to the loss of that

[1:29:57] revenue item. And then, as I

[1:29:58] mentioned earlier, the city

[1:29:58] s

[1:30:00] never tapped into its reserves,

[1:30:01] either through the great

[1:30:03] recession or through Covid.

[1:30:07] Recently. And the last policy

[1:30:08] that a highlight here is the

[1:30:10] one that was just adopted in

[1:30:11] DECEMBER, and it

[1:30:12] s our debt

[1:30:14] liability, pay down strategy

[1:30:15] and the goal that was adopted

[1:30:18] is to have the city become debt

[1:30:20] free in a seven year timeframe.

[1:30:24] Um. We will do this by

[1:30:25] utilizing available fund

[1:30:27] balance in combination with the

[1:30:28] pension trust balance and any

[1:30:31] future savings that the payoff

[1:30:33] of these debts create. And. It

[1:30:35] will become a snowball effect

[1:30:37] where all the savings will be

[1:30:38] incorporated into the next

[1:30:38] year

[1:30:40] s pay down strategy. And

[1:30:43] we have four main types of debt.

[1:30:45] We had a loan on this on this

[1:30:46] building here. The Civic Center

[1:30:50] loan. Alone on the Margarita

[1:30:51] Recreation center that

[1:30:51] s

[1:30:52] currently under under

[1:30:54] construction. And. Then we have

[1:30:56] two unfunded liabilities, one

[1:30:59] for pension and one for open,

[1:31:00] which is basically retiree

[1:31:02] health that was offered, um

[1:31:02] many, many years ago to city

[1:31:06] employees. And you can see the

[1:31:06] annual outstanding amounts

[1:31:07] there as well as the annual

[1:31:12] payments. And this is what the

[1:31:15] plan includes, as far as the

[1:31:18] payoff schedule, Um to date, we

[1:31:19] have paid off the Civic Center

[1:31:21] loan at 12.9 Million. We

[1:31:21] ve

[1:31:23] paid off the mrc loan at five

[1:31:24] million. And we

[1:31:26] ve put 7.25

[1:31:30] million towards our Unfunded

[1:31:32] liability for pension. Uh. This

[1:31:35] is another way to illustrate

[1:31:36] that so annual savings. Um, you

[1:31:36] know, we

[1:31:39] ll start around 1.6

[1:31:41] Million. But by year eight. We

[1:31:42] will be saving on an annual

[1:31:43] basis a little over eight

[1:31:47] million. And, then, as the

[1:31:48] natural attrition of these

[1:31:49] debts occur, that number will

[1:31:52] come down. Um. But today

[1:31:53] through the measures that we

[1:31:53] ve

[1:31:55] done since DECEMBER. Is,

[1:31:56] illustrated by the Black line

[1:31:59] here, and it shows that we at

[1:32:01] this point in time, have paid

[1:32:04] off both loans. And a portion

[1:32:05] of our pension obligations so

[1:32:07] we have By next year because

[1:32:09] that will be four fiscal year

[1:32:13] we will have $3 million In

[1:32:15] savings on an annual basis and

[1:32:17] then next year, the plan is to

[1:32:19] pay off the open so that black

[1:32:22] line will continue to increase

[1:32:27] and increase as time goes on.

[1:32:28] There

[1:32:29] s also some fiscal policy

[1:32:30] metrics that are included in

[1:32:32] the budget policies that we

[1:32:33] would like, um, for for your

[1:32:35] input on tonight whether to

[1:32:37] keep these at this level or

[1:32:39] whether or not you would

[1:32:40] suggest any changes. Um, so I

[1:32:42] mentioned are reserved for

[1:32:43] economic uncertainty. It

[1:32:43] s

[1:32:47] currently set at 20% of

[1:32:47] operating Expenditures.

[1:32:51] Secondary Reserve is set at 5%.

[1:32:52] Capital Improvement projects

[1:32:54] threshold is $30,000 or greater,

[1:32:56] Um, and it has to have a long

[1:32:57] term lifespan will be non

[1:33:02] recurring. And. Then. We have

[1:33:03] staffing metrics related to

[1:33:05] police and fire are fire

[1:33:07] staffing. Metric is four

[1:33:07] firefighters per engine or

[1:33:10] truck. Police staffing as

[1:33:12] stated in the general plan is

[1:33:17] one officer per 1000 people.

[1:33:20] And. Then we have thresholds

[1:33:23] related to what qualifies as

[1:33:26] being, um, an asset to Add to

[1:33:28] the asset replacement fund and

[1:33:29] for fleet and equipment. It

[1:33:30] s

[1:33:32] any item that is over $10,000

[1:33:33] and has at least a three year

[1:33:36] lifespan. And for technology

[1:33:37] equipment. It

[1:33:38] s anything over

[1:33:39] 5000 with a three year lifespan.

[1:33:43] And. Then. We have a separate

[1:33:46] policy that relates to the

[1:33:47] pension trust contribution. So

[1:33:50] each year after we closed the

[1:33:52] books we are eligible to put in

[1:33:55] 30%. Of our general fund

[1:33:58] operating surplus. Um, limited

[1:33:59] to $2 million per year. That

[1:34:00] s

[1:34:01] currently how the how the

[1:34:06] policy reads. And. Then. We

[1:34:07] have signature delegation

[1:34:08] authorities in the budget

[1:34:10] policies as well the city

[1:34:10] manager

[1:34:11] s contract and

[1:34:12] agreement signing authority

[1:34:15] currently stands at 100,000, as

[1:34:17] well as his settlement

[1:34:19] authority and then the

[1:34:20] emergency authority is

[1:34:22] unlimited. Um and that waves

[1:34:23] the public works bidding

[1:34:24] requirements, and we saw that

[1:34:25] as the added agenda item

[1:34:31] tonight. So its staff

[1:34:32] recommendation to have the

[1:34:34] council affirm the city

[1:34:35] s core

[1:34:37] values and budget priorities as

[1:34:39] well as the budget policies and

[1:34:40] fiscal policy metrics. Thank

[1:34:40] you and I

[1:34:42] ll Be available for

[1:34:43] any questions you might have.

[1:34:44] All right? Thank you very much.

[1:34:45] Okay. I

[1:34:46] ll go ahead and open it

[1:34:49] up for questions. Council

[1:34:49] member, Alexander Anything

[1:34:51] council member Van Mayor part.

[1:34:53] Tim Stewart. Yes. Go ahead.

[1:34:55] Okay. So could you go back to

[1:34:59] the slide that has the fire

[1:35:01] contract costs on there,

[1:35:01] because it

[1:35:01] s very deceptive

[1:35:04] when they look at that $11

[1:35:05] million, it looks like we

[1:35:05] re

[1:35:09] paying our fire. Incredibly

[1:35:09] cheap and so I

[1:35:11] d like to the

[1:35:13] public to actually have

[1:35:14] clarification on that. Correct.

[1:35:16] Um, let me get to that slide.

[1:35:22] Yes, we We reflect once I get

[1:35:25] there. We reflected the city

[1:35:25] s

[1:35:28] cost for that. I think it

[1:35:28] s

[1:35:29] this one? Yeah. So fire is

[1:35:31] shown here at 11.2 Million, and

[1:35:33] that reflects the costs that

[1:35:34] are charged by the county to

[1:35:39] the city. Um. The county of

[1:35:41] Riverside has a structural fire

[1:35:43] tax credit that is collected

[1:35:44] through everybody

[1:35:45] s property

[1:35:47] tax bills. That money goes to

[1:35:49] the county and the county

[1:35:51] applies the tax credit first

[1:35:53] and builds us the remainder. So

[1:35:54] the tax credit in this fiscal

[1:35:55] year is between nine and $10

[1:35:58] million. So the true overall

[1:36:00] cost of the fire department is

[1:36:03] closer to 20 to $21 million. So.

[1:36:06] Thank you for? I neglected to

[1:36:06] clarify that so thank you for

[1:36:10] that. Okay. Anything else? Not

[1:36:12] questions, counselor. Alphas

[1:36:13] anything? Nothing. Okay,

[1:36:14] Fantastic And thank you again

[1:36:15] for the presentation, and we

[1:36:16] all had one on ones and

[1:36:18] subcommittees on that. So we

[1:36:18] ve

[1:36:21] seen it many, many times. So

[1:36:22] Good stuff ok at this time ago

[1:36:25] and entertain a motion to

[1:36:25] approve. Oh. I

[1:36:26] m sorry. Um. Do

[1:36:27] we have any public comments on

[1:36:31] this item? No. We don

[1:36:31] t have

[1:36:33] any public comments on this

[1:36:35] item. Okay, Thank you. Um we

[1:36:35] ll

[1:36:36] go ahead and entertain a motion

[1:36:37] to approve. I would like to

[1:36:41] have a little discussion first.

[1:36:46] Of course. Yes. Okay, So, um I

[1:36:49] For reasons a couple more

[1:36:52] agenda items away. Um I think

[1:36:55] we need to start a separate

[1:36:59] Fund for a police station or

[1:37:04] public safety. Um ah.

[1:37:07] Infrastructure. And So ah, And

[1:37:10] while we have these years that

[1:37:12] because if if and when we do

[1:37:13] build a police station, I don

[1:37:14] t

[1:37:16] want to have debt. I want to

[1:37:18] build it for cash, So I want to

[1:37:19] build a fund now, while we have

[1:37:23] the money To, uh, to be able to

[1:37:25] do that, to be able to say, you

[1:37:25] know, we

[1:37:27] ve got the 10 million

[1:37:28] or 15. Whatever it takes to

[1:37:30] build that station. I want to

[1:37:33] be able to, um To have that

[1:37:34] built up and and because I

[1:37:34] don

[1:37:36] t want to put any more debt

[1:37:39] on the city are the citizens

[1:37:43] and so, um I would like to see

[1:37:48] a line item for, uh, a public

[1:37:53] safety infrastructure. Um, you

[1:37:53] know, we own all our fire

[1:37:53] stations. In fact the one we

[1:37:53] don

[1:37:54] t own where we have a

[1:37:55] separate fund Right now we

[1:37:55] re

[1:37:56] building up to buy that when

[1:37:59] the state makes it available,

[1:38:04] So. We have a very robust Fire

[1:38:07] infrastructure, but we have

[1:38:07] literally nothing for police

[1:38:09] other than the new station

[1:38:10] that

[1:38:12] s here in city Hall. Um,

[1:38:14] so I would like to see a fund.

[1:38:20] Um For that. Okay, Fair enough.

[1:38:21] Anyone else think conversation.

[1:38:21] I

[1:38:22] ll. Just add onto that, you

[1:38:22] know it

[1:38:23] s thinking about you

[1:38:25] know how these items are a

[1:38:25] little They

[1:38:26] re tied together,

[1:38:27] obviously, but I do think it

[1:38:27] s

[1:38:29] I Appreciate you bringing that

[1:38:31] for now? Um, because the

[1:38:32] earlier we get on that the

[1:38:34] easier it is on staff and, um

[1:38:36] and if we do go down the road,

[1:38:37] the conversation and I

[1:38:38] ve been

[1:38:39] thinking about, um, you know,

[1:38:40] some funding sources, and I

[1:38:42] think you know, we could look

[1:38:44] to s r o share with tv, usd and

[1:38:45] And. Maybe. That

[1:38:46] s the funding

[1:38:48] source for for something like

[1:38:50] this to to reinvest back in the

[1:38:52] city, So okay, um Thank you

[1:38:55] anything else? No. Okay, so we

[1:38:57] have a motion and a second. Do?

[1:38:57] We. Don

[1:38:58] t think we did

[1:38:59] entertain a motion in the

[1:39:02] second? Promotion I

[1:39:03] ll second.

[1:39:15] Okay, let us vote. Mine didn

[1:39:15] t

[1:39:18] populate. Looks like not

[1:39:18] everyone

[1:39:21] s coming up on the

[1:39:22] screen Council member Brown.

[1:39:23] Are you in the affirmative. Yes.

[1:39:30] Okay. So that passes 50. Okay.

[1:39:31] Thank you. Everyone will move

[1:39:33] to item number 14 is adopted

[1:39:34] resolution submitting to the

[1:39:36] voters a ballot measure that

[1:39:37] proposes to establish term

[1:39:39] limits for City council members

[1:39:41] and maybe have a staff report.

[1:39:43] Please MADAM City clerk. Yes,

[1:39:45] Mr Mayor. Um and we have a

[1:39:46] slide presentation that will go

[1:39:50] ahead and put up. So we are

[1:39:55] back two weeks later with the

[1:39:56] proposed resolution and

[1:39:58] ordinance Next slide, please.

[1:40:00] So as a reminder this city

[1:40:01] Council gave us direction under

[1:40:04] government code section 36 50

[1:40:06] to be which actually permits

[1:40:09] the city Council to go ahead

[1:40:11] and proposed by initiative

[1:40:11] proposal to limit the number of

[1:40:13] terms a member of the City

[1:40:15] Council MAY serve on the city

[1:40:17] Council. Um and any of these

[1:40:19] proposals to limit the number

[1:40:23] of terms. They are applicable

[1:40:26] prospectively only and they

[1:40:26] don

[1:40:27] t become operative unless

[1:40:29] the electors of the city at a

[1:40:30] regularly scheduled election,

[1:40:32] go ahead and pass that so next

[1:40:34] slide, please. So again. The

[1:40:37] four points that we need to be

[1:40:39] aware of. Is that the City

[1:40:42] Council in fact, can propose an

[1:40:43] initiative. The proposal is not

[1:40:45] effective until voted upon and

[1:40:47] passed by the residents by a

[1:40:49] majority. The proposal must be

[1:40:51] on a regularly scheduled

[1:40:53] election, and it is again

[1:40:54] prospectively not retroactively.

[1:40:59] Next slide, please. So, the

[1:41:02] City Council on FEBRUARY 14th

[1:41:04] 2023 went ahead and gave staff

[1:41:05] direction to the council did

[1:41:08] wish to have term limits for

[1:41:09] City council members. The

[1:41:12] proposal was to have a term

[1:41:14] limit of three terms four years

[1:41:17] per term for 12 year total. The

[1:41:20] council was fine with breaks in

[1:41:21] the service as long as the 12

[1:41:22] year total was a lifetime limit.

[1:41:26] And. The Council went ahead and

[1:41:27] proposed placement on the

[1:41:32] NOVEMBER 2024 ballot. Two items

[1:41:32] that weren

[1:41:33] t discussed on

[1:41:37] FEBRUARY 14 2023 was

[1:41:39] appointments versus election

[1:41:40] and partial terms. So, the city

[1:41:42] attorney, and I went ahead and

[1:41:43] included standard language

[1:41:45] addressing the two items

[1:41:46] included in the proposed

[1:41:48] ordinance for City Council

[1:41:49] consideration, Of course the

[1:41:50] City Council tonight can give

[1:41:52] us direction otherwise. Next

[1:41:55] slide, please. Now what you

[1:41:58] will see there is on the very

[1:42:00] last sentence, but we have

[1:42:02] incorporated is standard

[1:42:04] language from other cities that

[1:42:07] address partial terms and

[1:42:08] appointments versus election.

[1:42:09] So. What we have mentioned is

[1:42:12] if any person is appointed or

[1:42:15] elected to a partial term of

[1:42:16] office of two years or less

[1:42:18] that the term shall be shall

[1:42:19] not be counted towards the

[1:42:22] three Term limits. So in other

[1:42:24] words, if you have occupied the

[1:42:26] seat for two years or less,

[1:42:28] regardless of whether it is an

[1:42:28] appointment, or regardless of

[1:42:30] whether it is an election, it

[1:42:31] will not count towards the term

[1:42:35] limits. And again That is

[1:42:35] pretty standard language. Next

[1:42:38] slide, please. So for next

[1:42:40] steps. Um, what we will be

[1:42:41] asking is that the City Council

[1:42:44] go ahead and adopt the proposed

[1:42:45] resolution regarding term

[1:42:47] limits. We will go ahead and

[1:42:49] notify the Riverside, Riverside

[1:42:50] County registrar of voters that

[1:42:52] we will have a local ballot

[1:42:55] measure on the NOVEMBER 2024

[1:42:58] ballot we will in the summer of

[1:43:00] 2024 when we consolidate our

[1:43:01] General municipal election. We

[1:43:03] will also consolidate the local

[1:43:05] ballot measure election at that

[1:43:05] time, the term limit measure

[1:43:08] will be voted upon by the

[1:43:11] residents of Temecula in

[1:43:12] NOVEMBER 2024. If, a majority

[1:43:14] of the voters pass it. The

[1:43:16] measure will go into effect, 10

[1:43:17] days after the City Council

[1:43:18] declares the results of the

[1:43:21] NOVEMBER 5th 2024 election.

[1:43:22] Typically. That

[1:43:23] s after a 30

[1:43:24] Day canvas period, so it

[1:43:25] s at

[1:43:26] that first meeting in DECEMBER.

[1:43:28] Where we declare our results

[1:43:31] and then it would be effective

[1:43:33] 10 days after so that concludes

[1:43:33] Staffs presentation, and we

[1:43:34] re

[1:43:35] happy to ask any answer any

[1:43:37] questions or take any further

[1:43:39] direction that you would like.

[1:43:40] Okay. Thank you any questions

[1:43:41] of staff from City Council? I

[1:43:43] have one question just popped

[1:43:44] up. Actually. I know we had a

[1:43:46] good discussion about this

[1:43:47] earlier. I. Guess my question

[1:43:50] is Since a term limit is, I

[1:43:54] guess, two years and above,

[1:43:54] right? What if somebody was to

[1:43:55] do let

[1:43:56] s say six months or a

[1:43:58] year How many times. Can they

[1:44:00] do that. So if we have somebody

[1:44:02] that comes in, for instance,

[1:44:02] let

[1:44:03] s say they get appointed

[1:44:04] for a year and then let

[1:44:05] s say,

[1:44:06] maybe GOD forbid the next time

[1:44:08] they get sick or something

[1:44:09] happens. Do we also want to put

[1:44:10] a limit on how many times they

[1:44:11] can come back within that

[1:44:12] shorter amount of time of the

[1:44:15] two years. Does that make sense?

[1:44:22] Um. It does we? That seems like

[1:44:23] a very rare occurrence so far

[1:44:23] in this city

[1:44:24] s history, we

[1:44:25] ve

[1:44:27] pretty much just had a vacancy

[1:44:28] occurs because the council

[1:44:29] member is appointed to higher

[1:44:31] office where there might be a

[1:44:32] resignation of Stewart

[1:44:33] s. We

[1:44:33] haven

[1:44:35] t had the experience, nor

[1:44:38] am I aware of cities that

[1:44:39] routinely have an experience

[1:44:40] with multiple appointments of

[1:44:43] the same person. If the council

[1:44:44] would like to give us direction

[1:44:45] on that we

[1:44:46] re happy to take it.

[1:44:46] And that

[1:44:47] s the thing I

[1:44:47] ve never

[1:44:48] heard of that. I

[1:44:50] m just saying,

[1:44:53] like the there you go like the

[1:44:54] what if, And so what if we just

[1:44:55] put it in there and just say

[1:44:56] Okay, this is maybe you can do

[1:44:59] one of those and or whatever we

[1:45:00] decide. Don

[1:45:01] t. I don

[1:45:01] t see the

[1:45:01] need and we don

[1:45:02] t have to. I

[1:45:03] just thought of it. I was like,

[1:45:04] I just want to make sure we

[1:45:05] re

[1:45:06] covering all bases. I

[1:45:06] especially if you

[1:45:07] ve got a

[1:45:09] really qualified candidate like

[1:45:10] a gene Wonderlic to be able to

[1:45:12] come in and fill that gap until

[1:45:14] the next election cycle. Why,

[1:45:16] not keep using them. I mean or

[1:45:18] her So, for instance, Maybe I

[1:45:18] m

[1:45:19] Just not explaining myself,

[1:45:20] Right? So. Let

[1:45:21] s say I get

[1:45:22] appointed for a year. Okay, Um

[1:45:27] and then I come back in and I

[1:45:28] get elected because I I was I

[1:45:30] did that great of a job and

[1:45:31] then I get sick and then so I

[1:45:33] like I have to take myself off

[1:45:35] the dais because of whatever

[1:45:36] illness or whatever that MAY be,

[1:45:38] And, then I want to run again.

[1:45:39] Like. How is are we? Are? We

[1:45:41] okay with that to let them

[1:45:42] continue to run, And if we are,

[1:45:42] it

[1:45:44] s fine. I just want to just

[1:45:48] take a look at that. So okay

[1:45:48] running, then just keep running.

[1:45:50] I. Just. Want to make sure that

[1:45:50] we

[1:45:52] re covering all bases so we

[1:45:53] can

[1:45:54] t cover. Obviously, every

[1:45:55] situation that ever comes up.

[1:45:56] But if it

[1:45:56] s less than two years,

[1:45:57] and that

[1:45:58] s what we decide on. I

[1:45:58] think that

[1:45:59] s totally fine.

[1:46:01] Sounds good. Okay. Any other

[1:46:03] questions of staff. Okay. If,

[1:46:05] Not. Are there any public

[1:46:06] comments on this item? There

[1:46:07] are no public comments on this

[1:46:08] item. We did have public

[1:46:10] comments that were incorporated

[1:46:12] on this item from previous

[1:46:12] comments. Alright, we

[1:46:13] ll go and

[1:46:14] entertain a motion and a second.

[1:46:17] I will motion second. Let us

[1:46:31] vote. Council member brand.

[1:46:31] It

[1:46:33] s not working. Is it in the

[1:46:36] affirmative, affirmative. Okay,

[1:46:37] that passes 50. Thank you,

[1:46:39] Everybody. All right, moving on

[1:46:40] to our departmental reports.

[1:46:42] These are all receiving file

[1:46:44] will move to our items for

[1:46:45] future agendas. Item, number

[1:46:48] ad hoc subcommittee to discuss

[1:46:50] to make the police department

[1:46:51] at the request of Mayor pro Tim

[1:46:55] Stewart. Alright MISTER Mr

[1:46:57] Mayor. We have several public

[1:47:01] comments on all of these and we

[1:47:04] do have a total limit of 15

[1:47:06] minutes. So can we go ahead and

[1:47:08] here just from all four

[1:47:10] speakers at this point that are

[1:47:13] in person? Um. If that is the

[1:47:13] mayor

[1:47:14] s. Well, That Seems a

[1:47:17] reasonable okay. Um. So at this

[1:47:19] point, I will go ahead and

[1:47:24] Three minutes each, so we

[1:47:24] ll

[1:47:32] followed by Briana Mason. Hi so

[1:47:32] I

[1:47:36] m just here to encourage vote

[1:47:37] for yes to place affordable

[1:47:38] housing rent control on the

[1:47:43] agenda. Going forward. I don

[1:47:44] t

[1:47:47] see us taking any extreme

[1:47:48] action to help renters right

[1:47:51] now. Obviously I show up for

[1:47:53] attainable homeownership often.

[1:47:55] And all things housing. We

[1:47:56] re

[1:47:57] drowning out here, and there

[1:47:58] s

[1:48:01] no sense of urgency and I know

[1:48:02] city staff is designed to

[1:48:04] advise you because you can

[1:48:05] t

[1:48:06] know everything if you need to

[1:48:07] borrow some housing books have

[1:48:10] plenty I can lend out. Um, but

[1:48:10] you can

[1:48:11] t know everything. So,

[1:48:13] you have to rely on city staff.

[1:48:15] Please do not take it to a

[1:48:16] subcommittee. Please Do not let

[1:48:18] it go to a subcommittee to sit

[1:48:21] for a year. We Need Renters

[1:48:23] need action Now we need we

[1:48:23] re

[1:48:25] long out before ever owning a

[1:48:26] home here if ever going to be

[1:48:29] able to own a home here and

[1:48:29] there

[1:48:30] s no home security and

[1:48:31] rent There

[1:48:32] s no home security

[1:48:35] in it. We

[1:48:36] ve created the access

[1:48:39] to the lesser earning workforce

[1:48:41] in the employment we have not

[1:48:44] built for those employees. We

[1:48:46] need some housing, security

[1:48:48] housing security is exists in

[1:48:49] affordable housing, rent

[1:48:49] control. That

[1:48:53] please put it on the agenda.

[1:48:53] Let

[1:48:55] s not push it to a

[1:48:59] subcommittee. Your staff is not

[1:49:00] recognizing Erin Adams told me

[1:49:02] in an email when the concerts

[1:49:04] happened that you know where I

[1:49:05] live was a choice. It

[1:49:06] s not a

[1:49:09] choice. We have an affordable

[1:49:12] overlay zone for a reason. We

[1:49:12] don

[1:49:14] t have equitable housing

[1:49:15] within your pretty pre planned

[1:49:17] communities. I

[1:49:17] ve seen it

[1:49:17] before. I

[1:49:19] m saying it again.

[1:49:19] We

[1:49:21] re not included. We

[1:49:21] ve been

[1:49:23] excluded. We weren

[1:49:24] t

[1:49:27] incorporated in the design.

[1:49:28] Let

[1:49:29] s talk about the start.

[1:49:29] Let

[1:49:31] s give us housing security.

[1:49:31] Let

[1:49:33] s put it on the agenda and

[1:49:33] then let

[1:49:35] s start talking about

[1:49:38] attainable home ownership and

[1:49:39] equitable opportunities in

[1:49:40] existence of housing. And home

[1:49:43] ownership. That

[1:49:44] s my public

[1:52:57] s talk around control. Got

[1:52:59] an m b a from a top school.

[1:52:59] I

[1:53:02] ve spent my career in

[1:53:02] financial services. I

[1:53:03] understand investments as well

[1:53:05] as anybody in this room. I get

[1:53:07] why rent control feels like

[1:53:07] something that

[1:53:08] s challenging.

[1:53:09] Something to bury in a

[1:53:11] subcommittee. Something to do

[1:53:14] away with this quickly and

[1:53:15] quietly as possible, but

[1:53:16] investments sometimes takes

[1:53:18] formal ways We might not

[1:53:20] necessarily consider By

[1:53:21] imposing rent controls you

[1:53:27] invest in our communities. You.

[1:53:28] Invest our small businesses.

[1:53:29] Hell even in the mega

[1:53:30] corporations that make up a lot

[1:53:33] of this area. Simply by helping

[1:53:34] to provide all ready and

[1:53:35] willing workforce proximal to

[1:53:38] the people that they serve. We

[1:53:39] already see the downsides of a

[1:53:41] lack of run control. You

[1:53:43] literally just saw it. People

[1:53:45] are traveling from all over the

[1:53:46] place to work jobs that can

[1:53:46] t

[1:53:48] cover their bills. While.

[1:53:48] There

[1:53:50] s some that MAY happily

[1:53:52] boast about driving from GOD

[1:53:53] knows where in California to

[1:53:57] for a job. Who does that now?

[1:53:58] The math just sometimes doesn

[1:53:58] t

[1:54:02] work. So. What happens? Workers

[1:54:03] drop out of the labor force,

[1:54:05] and we all feel it. This means

[1:54:07] it takes longer for any of us

[1:54:09] to get anything done. How. Much

[1:54:11] productivity are each of us

[1:54:12] losing every single week

[1:54:14] waiting just a simple extra

[1:54:15] couple minutes a day at

[1:54:19] Starbucks or wherever As, the

[1:54:21] man who took the man with the

[1:54:23] yellow hat on his spirit Quest

[1:54:24] in curious George, Very monkey,

[1:54:27] Christmas, sai. It

[1:54:27] s about

[1:54:29] time. Time is an investment.

[1:54:31] None of us think too much about

[1:54:31] But it

[1:54:33] s super important. More

[1:54:34] time means more gets done,

[1:54:35] which is good for all of us.

[1:54:35] It

[1:54:37] s good for Temecula. Let

[1:54:38] s

[1:54:39] also talk briefly about

[1:54:40] Temecula, as young people were

[1:54:42] aware of the brain drain that

[1:54:43] happens after kids graduate

[1:54:44] from high school around here or

[1:54:45] maybe even a couple of years of

[1:54:47] tuition Free college. Wouldn

[1:54:47] t

[1:54:49] be rad if we actually attracted

[1:54:52] them to stay. And build

[1:54:53] businesses or careers locally,

[1:54:54] something that we have failed

[1:54:56] miserably at forever. And all

[1:54:58] it takes is actually making the

[1:55:01] area remotely affordable. But

[1:55:02] again. I know investing. I know

[1:55:03] what people want to see? So

[1:55:05] here we go. Rent control can

[1:55:07] mean $5200 per year per person

[1:55:10] per commuter. Imagine what the

[1:55:11] people could do with that.

[1:55:13] Think of the benefits to say

[1:55:14] all down Temecula restaurants.

[1:55:16] The Economic benefit is

[1:55:17] undeniable if you wish to look

[1:55:18] beyond a handful of wealthy

[1:55:21] investors. So before we bury

[1:55:22] rent control in some nebulous

[1:55:23] committee. I think it

[1:55:23] s

[1:55:24] important that we actually

[1:55:25] consider the trade off that

[1:55:26] will lack around control

[1:55:28] actually has on the growth of

[1:55:30] Temecula. I believe it

[1:55:30] s worth

[1:55:33] serious consideration. Thanks.

[1:55:34] Thank you next speaker are last

[1:55:36] in person speaker is Daniel Kit.

[1:58:54] clerk there anymore speakers,

[1:58:56] Mr Mayor. We do not have any

[1:58:57] other in person speakers. I

[1:59:01] will say I have a number of

[1:59:03] email comments so that emails

[1:59:07] received from Uh Mark Darcy in

[1:59:09] regards to the fire item and

[1:59:13] the emails received from Sarah

[1:59:16] Patton. Tammy Meyer, Lorne

[1:59:19] Fournier Martha Howard,

[1:59:20] Jennifer, Cornelius, Atlanta

[1:59:23] Salyer and Melissa Bourbon is

[1:59:23] regarding the affordable

[1:59:25] housing rec control measure.

[1:59:28] They will all be put into the

[1:59:28] record. Okay? I appreciate that.

[1:59:31] Okay Well, now move into item

[1:59:32] number one, which is considered

[1:59:34] creation of ad hoc subcommittee

[1:59:35] to discuss to make a police

[1:59:36] department at the request of

[1:59:38] the airport. Tim Swart. You.

[1:59:41] Now have the floor. Okay, so

[1:59:44] basically I had a great meeting

[1:59:46] with Sheriff Bianco on this

[1:59:48] issue, and a couple of things

[1:59:50] came out of it. He clarified

[1:59:54] that Um. Our officers do not

[1:59:58] have to leave. Macula if they

[2:00:00] promote, which is was a big

[2:00:03] sticky point for me. I I

[2:00:04] understand that was a policy of

[2:00:06] the previous sheriff. And so,

[2:00:07] um, I didn

[2:00:08] t realize that the

[2:00:10] current sheriff does not have

[2:00:11] that policy in place. So that

[2:00:15] was a huge thing for me. Um,

[2:00:17] also, he expressed. He totally

[2:00:19] supports the idea of us having

[2:00:20] our own police station in in

[2:00:24] Temecula. And. He

[2:00:25] s got. He

[2:00:27] just built a police station in

[2:00:29] a group of Valley, so that was

[2:00:31] very encouraging to hear that

[2:00:32] cost, and that

[2:00:33] s why I wanted

[2:00:37] to, um, put it in our budget

[2:00:38] thought of a police station

[2:00:41] within the city of Temecula. Um

[2:00:42] So. I

[2:00:42] m. I

[2:00:43] m literally

[2:00:44] withdrawing the idea of

[2:00:46] starting our own pd, but I want

[2:00:50] to push forward the idea of

[2:00:51] bringing our sheriff

[2:00:51] s officers

[2:00:55] inside our city limits. Ah. I

[2:00:55] feel That

[2:00:56] s something that we

[2:01:01] need to do as a city to show

[2:01:03] our, um dedication to public

[2:01:07] safety and, um and instead of

[2:01:08] having a commuter police force

[2:01:10] will have a police force that

[2:01:11] actually exists within the city

[2:01:15] of Temecula. So. That

[2:01:15] s. That

[2:01:15] s

[2:01:16] where I

[2:01:18] m going with that, as

[2:01:18] far as I

[2:01:19] m concerned, I

[2:01:20] ve

[2:01:22] talked to San Diego p. D

[2:01:26] lieutenant, and he was talking

[2:01:27] about the Incredible Um uh,

[2:01:28] Time that they

[2:01:29] re having with

[2:01:32] attrition down in San Diego

[2:01:35] that they have, literally even

[2:01:37] if they filled their academy up

[2:01:39] and every single guy passed,

[2:01:41] they would still go negative

[2:01:44] every year as far as how many

[2:01:46] officers are terming out, you

[2:01:49] know injury, um So I don

[2:01:49] t want

[2:01:51] the city to be in that kind of

[2:01:53] a situation. So. That

[2:01:53] s that

[2:01:54] s

[2:01:54] something i

[2:01:54] m. I

[2:01:55] m thinking I

[2:01:55] don

[2:01:55] t want to. I don

[2:01:57] t want to

[2:01:57] go down that route because

[2:02:00] recruitment Is going to be a

[2:02:03] lot harder than first

[2:02:04] anticipated, and that was

[2:02:05] something sheriff Bianca

[2:02:07] pointed out, and I was able to

[2:02:10] verify with several other

[2:02:10] agencies. So, Um there

[2:02:10] s is

[2:02:12] just a huge struggle right now

[2:02:13] to get anybody to want to do,

[2:02:17] Um Policing work. So, um so I

[2:02:18] m

[2:02:21] in favor of keeping our shares

[2:02:23] but keeping them inside our

[2:02:26] city limits by building a

[2:02:28] police station, creating

[2:02:31] ownership, creating. Um, um

[2:02:32] Just a better sense of public.

[2:02:37] Um Appreciation and or

[2:02:39] ownership, so That

[2:02:40] s Where I so

[2:02:40] I

[2:02:42] m literally going to remove

[2:02:45] the idea of creating our own pd,

[2:02:48] But I want to kind of shift

[2:02:49] into the police station model.

[2:02:54] Okay? So. Is that a wholesale

[2:02:55] removal of this? Yes. You want

[2:02:58] to modify it to anything? Are,

[2:02:59] you good with the current

[2:03:01] public safety subcommittee we

[2:03:04] have handling this. I mean, I.

[2:03:04] Don

[2:03:04] t think I

[2:03:05] m on it, but I

[2:03:09] would I would want I think a

[2:03:10] separate subcommittee city

[2:03:13] manager? What would you Say

[2:03:17] about this. Yeah, we have a We

[2:03:21] have a dedicated And this this

[2:03:22] probably, um will be in

[2:03:23] conflict with what you just

[2:03:26] said. But. We have a dedicated,

[2:03:37] um Had hock subcommittee. Is

[2:03:39] that the surplus lands, public

[2:03:41] safety ad hoc and in reading

[2:03:46] the description The

[2:03:48] subcommittee will work with

[2:03:50] staff to evaluate and discuss

[2:03:50] the city

[2:03:53] s public safety

[2:03:54] operations, opportunities for

[2:03:56] efficiencies and other related

[2:03:57] matters. This includes

[2:03:58] evaluating alternatives to the

[2:03:59] police base of operations

[2:04:00] located at the South West

[2:04:04] Station. Um And I Think Mayor

[2:04:05] Pro tem. That

[2:04:07] s what you

[2:04:07] re

[2:04:07] you

[2:04:09] re asking for your correct

[2:04:09] You

[2:04:11] re not currently listed on

[2:04:13] that council members, Alexander

[2:04:16] and cafes are assigned to that

[2:04:17] subcommittee, So I think that

[2:04:20] would be something the council

[2:04:21] needs to discuss. I don

[2:04:21] t know

[2:04:24] that you need to solve that. At

[2:04:26] this moment. But. If this

[2:04:27] becomes an agenda item in two

[2:04:28] weeks. Ts something that

[2:04:29] you

[2:04:31] re going to need to Think

[2:04:34] about if we want to assign

[2:04:36] something completely different,

[2:04:38] or if stew you want to replace

[2:04:41] somebody on that ad hoc

[2:04:41] subcommittee that

[2:04:42] s also

[2:04:44] available to the subcommittee.

[2:04:44] But. We

[2:04:45] re going to be looking

[2:04:47] for council direction if this

[2:04:52] goes forward Mhm. So So. Do. I

[2:04:54] have to bring it back again Or

[2:04:56] can we take it from here and

[2:04:59] put it right on the agenda

[2:04:59] recommendation Barring Peter

[2:05:00] telling me we can

[2:05:02] t do this.

[2:05:05] This is more you Mayor Pro tem

[2:05:09] Clarifying your future agenda

[2:05:10] item, not the actual agenda

[2:05:10] item itself, So. I

[2:05:11] m

[2:05:12] comfortable as long as you

[2:05:13] re

[2:05:13] clarifying for your colleagues

[2:05:15] benefit What. It is that

[2:05:15] they

[2:05:17] re voting on this evening.

[2:05:17] What. It is they

[2:05:19] re not voting

[2:05:20] on this evening and then voting

[2:05:22] up or down If you want to see

[2:05:23] this? Come back in two weeks.

[2:05:23] I

[2:05:25] m comfortable. In

[2:05:29] clarification. What were you We

[2:05:32] would be voting on is bringing

[2:05:36] this back as only a discussion

[2:05:40] and a police station model

[2:05:41] versus a, um stand up p d. Okay.

[2:05:44] And and and let

[2:05:44] s just assume,

[2:05:44] let

[2:05:45] s play this out. Let

[2:05:46] s that

[2:05:47] this gets approved and it gets

[2:05:50] on the agenda. We can have the

[2:05:51] discussion about it

[2:05:52] s just

[2:05:53] appropriate for this current

[2:05:53] subcommittee. And if we

[2:05:54] d like

[2:05:56] to make changes, and we could

[2:05:58] do so at that time, right, so

[2:05:58] we don

[2:05:59] t necessarily have to

[2:06:01] create anything new. We. Don

[2:06:01] t

[2:06:02] we already have the

[2:06:03] infrastructure in place, so

[2:06:05] Okay? I think we

[2:06:06] re good, but I

[2:06:08] want to open it up to any

[2:06:10] questions of the balance of the

[2:06:11] council if anyone

[2:06:12] s insured, Mr

[2:06:15] Mayor Pro tem. I do, um You had

[2:06:16] mentioned earlier in the

[2:06:18] meeting, and I think it can

[2:06:18] t

[2:06:20] get lost in this conversation

[2:06:22] as it has your voting and you

[2:06:24] want to bring stuff back. It

[2:06:24] s

[2:06:25] a little confusing, but I think

[2:06:26] the mayor pro tem has kind of

[2:06:30] like a two Really two things

[2:06:31] that are connected.

[2:06:33] Interconnected. One is the ad

[2:06:35] hoc and the discussion on a

[2:06:37] police station. And. Then,

[2:06:37] There

[2:06:40] s a correlating financial

[2:06:41] policy. City Council policy

[2:06:43] related to that action. I would

[2:06:45] envision both of those being

[2:06:48] part of any future staff report

[2:06:48] for this council

[2:06:49] s discussion.

[2:06:52] Indirection. That makes sense,

[2:06:52] doesn

[2:06:53] t it would have to be.

[2:06:57] Yeah. So, Mr mayor for

[2:06:58] clarifying purposes, your

[2:06:59] motion that you would be voting

[2:07:01] up or down is whether or not to

[2:07:03] consider the creation of an ad

[2:07:06] hoc subcommittee to discuss the

[2:07:07] Temecula sheriff

[2:07:08] s station and

[2:07:10] any related funding mechanisms.

[2:07:13] Would you like to see that on a

[2:07:18] future agenda? Yes, okay. So

[2:07:21] entertain, So we have a motion

[2:07:21] motion second it and let

[2:07:22] s vote.

[2:07:33] Council member Brown. Are you

[2:07:33] in the primitive affirmative.

[2:07:39] Thank you. Okay and that passes

[2:07:39] 50, and we

[2:07:41] ll see that in two

[2:07:43] weeks. Okay item number two is

[2:07:44] considered creation of ad hoc

[2:07:45] subcommittee to discuss

[2:07:47] Temecula Fire department at the

[2:07:48] request of council member cafes.

[2:07:51] You have the floor. So when i

[2:07:53] initially proposed this about a

[2:07:55] month or so ago, my initial

[2:07:57] thought was working alongside

[2:07:59] Cal fire on strike teams and

[2:08:00] different assignments. I always

[2:08:02] thought that Cal fire deserve

[2:08:03] more. And when I mean my

[2:08:04] dessert more. I mean, I believe

[2:08:06] that they deserve more pay, and

[2:08:08] they deserve more Time off Cal

[2:08:09] fire compared to a lot of

[2:08:10] municipal departments work more.

[2:08:12] And they aren

[2:08:13] t compensated for

[2:08:14] the work that they do. So when

[2:08:16] I proposed this, my initial

[2:08:16] thought was that

[2:08:17] s what I

[2:08:18] wanted for Cal fire and that

[2:08:18] s

[2:08:19] what I wanted for our

[2:08:20] firefighters here in the city

[2:08:22] of Temecula, But after doing my

[2:08:24] own research of my own do

[2:08:26] diligence. I realized that that

[2:08:29] is something that Necessary

[2:08:29] Let

[2:08:31] s above Temecula City

[2:08:32] councils around of authority,

[2:08:32] and I

[2:08:33] ve come to the conclusion

[2:08:36] that Cal fire and more

[2:08:37] specifically, Riverside County

[2:08:38] fire provides the best fire and

[2:08:40] emergency services to the

[2:08:41] residents of Temecula and

[2:08:43] therefore I will not be moving

[2:08:45] forward with my request for

[2:08:47] subcommittee for Temecula Fire

[2:08:50] Department. Okay. Thank you

[2:08:52] very much, noted. Okay. Item

[2:08:54] number three. Consider Rent

[2:08:55] Control Ordinance for

[2:08:56] affordable housing at the

[2:08:57] request of council members,

[2:09:00] Stuart, you have the floor. All.

[2:09:03] Right. So this is really

[2:09:04] something that I just wanted to

[2:09:07] daylight. And I I

[2:09:08] m. I really

[2:09:11] want to ask our city manager?

[2:09:15] To come back and give a report

[2:09:18] on what rent controls and what

[2:09:21] does affordable housing. Look

[2:09:24] like inter macula from from our

[2:09:25] investment, you know, because

[2:09:27] we have invested a lot of money

[2:09:30] in the city of Temecula. Uh, in

[2:09:32] affordable housing, and so and

[2:09:35] what did the covenants look

[2:09:37] like on the actual managers of

[2:09:40] the buildings and the property

[2:09:43] owners, and so I? For me it was

[2:09:47] more just to clarify. What is

[2:09:49] in place right now, so because

[2:09:49] you can

[2:09:50] t talk about something,

[2:09:51] if you don

[2:09:51] t know the answer,

[2:09:51] and that

[2:09:52] s and that

[2:09:53] s what I

[2:09:55] feel like. You know the

[2:09:57] discussion was going on is, you

[2:10:00] know MISS Lamont wants

[2:10:05] something. And I need to know

[2:10:07] what and I need the public to

[2:10:09] know what we can and what we

[2:10:09] can

[2:10:12] t do. And. So, I. I

[2:10:12] m just

[2:10:14] asking us to have our city

[2:10:16] manager. Or whoever he assigns

[2:10:19] to come back and explain how

[2:10:23] the covenants Ah, on, um, the

[2:10:26] affordable housing. And. What

[2:10:26] s

[2:10:28] in the pipeline. What do we

[2:10:30] have? What? How?Re we

[2:10:32] affecting this community who

[2:10:34] who basically feels faceless.

[2:10:35] How, are we addressing their

[2:10:38] needs? At a city level with

[2:10:39] because I know we

[2:10:39] re doing a

[2:10:40] lot, but I don

[2:10:41] t think the

[2:10:42] public knows we

[2:10:42] re doing a lot

[2:10:45] so I would like to have that

[2:10:48] report. Just the daylight, all

[2:10:50] the information just so when

[2:10:51] you know when we talk about

[2:10:53] rent control We

[2:10:54] re going to

[2:10:55] find out. We already have it,

[2:10:58] But I want that to come from

[2:11:01] the city manager talking about

[2:11:03] exactly what? What we have in

[2:11:05] place already and Um So. That

[2:11:05] s

[2:11:07] what I

[2:11:08] m, asking the council to

[2:11:10] Take. This a little farther.

[2:11:10] Alright, I

[2:11:12] ll open up for any

[2:11:15] quick questions from balance of

[2:11:15] the council. Um, So. I

[2:11:15] m not

[2:11:18] seeing any So in instead you

[2:11:19] re

[2:11:20] asking, you know, not for rent

[2:11:22] Control ordinance, but a

[2:11:23] presentation on that

[2:11:23] s what I

[2:11:24] m

[2:11:25] asking affordable housing and

[2:11:28] right. Okay. Um I mean that

[2:11:29] seems reasonable and I know

[2:11:29] we

[2:11:30] ve done them past meetings,

[2:11:32] and I know, I

[2:11:32] m even ready

[2:11:33] Commission has seen him as well.

[2:11:35] But. It

[2:11:36] s definitely something

[2:11:38] that it wears on your heart.

[2:11:39] When you hear these stories,

[2:11:41] and and I think it

[2:11:41] s important

[2:11:44] that we communicate that back

[2:11:45] to the community, so I would

[2:11:48] certainly support that, and Um.

[2:11:48] I guess I

[2:11:50] ll make the motion

[2:11:53] motion so emotions you consider

[2:11:53] So actually, Mr Mayor, You

[2:11:53] don

[2:11:55] t need to have a motion on

[2:11:58] that and what I heard from

[2:11:59] mayor pretension. Frank Stewart

[2:12:01] is that he is pulling that item

[2:12:03] and instead directing the city

[2:12:05] manager to go ahead and bring

[2:12:09] back a presentation. Okay? And.

[2:12:09] That

[2:12:12] s even cleaner process.

[2:12:13] Okay, fantastic. Doesn

[2:12:13] t work

[2:12:13] since you

[2:12:14] re since you

[2:12:14] re

[2:12:15] voting isn

[2:12:17] t working. Okay? And.

[2:12:18] Last item is Adam for is

[2:12:19] considered the process for

[2:12:20] placement of future agenda

[2:12:22] items at the request of myself.

[2:12:25] So, um You know when I first

[2:12:27] came onto council, Um, you know

[2:12:29] there was this. This feeling of

[2:12:31] you would have to communicate

[2:12:33] with your colleagues, right? I

[2:12:34] remember sitting, you know for

[2:12:36] the first First few meetings

[2:12:38] and sort of understanding that

[2:12:39] the dynamics of what it

[2:12:39] s like

[2:12:41] to work with the team and, um

[2:12:42] and if there were some things

[2:12:44] that I wanted to bring forward

[2:12:45] and and I would I would reach

[2:12:47] out to another council member

[2:12:49] and and and say, Hey, I

[2:12:50] ve got

[2:12:51] this idea, you know? Would you

[2:12:54] mind co sponsoring this with me

[2:12:55] in bringing that forward? Um

[2:12:56] and that worked, You know, I

[2:12:58] think that was six or

[2:12:59] historically, the unwritten

[2:13:02] rules and we we we had to come

[2:13:03] into an age is a city and

[2:13:04] create policy, and I think it

[2:13:04] s

[2:13:04] important that we did create

[2:13:08] the Policy, but but I see some

[2:13:09] problems with it, and I think

[2:13:11] Um, if we could have this

[2:13:12] discussion at the council level,

[2:13:13] we could address some of them,

[2:13:15] Um, you know, and and just

[2:13:17] really not to go too deep into

[2:13:20] this, But, um, you know,

[2:13:20] oftentimes we can start with

[2:13:23] our city manager like that.

[2:13:23] That

[2:13:23] s important relationship

[2:13:25] that we have, so we should work

[2:13:28] with that, Um, we do have many

[2:13:29] subcommittees. And. Um. We

[2:13:30] heard the nefarious, you know,

[2:13:32] send it to a subcommittee thing,

[2:13:34] and I see the exact opposite of

[2:13:35] that we can spend valuable time.

[2:13:39] Looking at things through the

[2:13:40] subcommittee. There

[2:13:40] s various

[2:13:43] other avenues for bringing

[2:13:46] items to to To an agenda. The

[2:13:48] most important is trying to

[2:13:49] build consensus right and

[2:13:51] obviously not building

[2:13:51] consensus with everyone. But if

[2:13:52] I want to bring something

[2:13:54] forward, I want to have a

[2:13:56] conversation with at least one

[2:13:57] other colleague and say, Hey,

[2:14:00] um, you know, What. Do. You

[2:14:01] think about this, You know. Am

[2:14:02] I in the right lane. And you

[2:14:03] might say, yeah, that

[2:14:04] s what I

[2:14:05] could doodle stop, or you might

[2:14:06] be like, Okay. That

[2:14:06] s that

[2:14:07] s

[2:14:08] normal. Um So. That

[2:14:09] s really

[2:14:10] the conversation I want to have

[2:14:11] about this? We

[2:14:12] re having folks

[2:14:13] come to the podium and say, I

[2:14:14] want you to do this? I want you

[2:14:15] to put an item on and we

[2:14:15] re

[2:14:17] sort of reacting to that We

[2:14:17] re

[2:14:19] spending a lot of time on these

[2:14:21] future agenda items and we have

[2:14:23] an infrastructure in place to

[2:14:26] handle a bulk of this. These

[2:14:27] asked, so I would just ask that

[2:14:29] we place this on the future

[2:14:30] engine item, we can have the

[2:14:33] discussion and tighten up. Our

[2:14:34] council policy at a future

[2:14:36] meeting. So with that That

[2:14:36] s my

[2:14:36] motion, I

[2:14:37] ll entertain a secon

[2:14:39] Okay. We have a second Let us

[2:14:45] vote. Affirmative. Yeah. We

[2:14:46] have a one man. Let

[2:14:46] s see. Yeah.
