50
00:11:17,118 --> 00:11:20,788
if you would indulge me just for a moment, this is a great honor

51
00:11:20,788 --> 00:11:24,259
for me. We generally get to recognize

52
00:11:24,259 --> 00:11:28,396
our officers for all the good work they do, and they are the

53
00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:31,799
face of the police department, but today e get to celebrate

54
00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:34,536
one of our dispatchers, one of our very own who is the voice

55
00:11:34,536 --> 00:11:37,572
behind the face. They are the first to make

56
00:11:37,572 --> 00:11:44,212
contact with our community in need, so we are very proud of

57
00:11:44,212 --> 00:11:46,815
nicolle's accomplishment today. I'm going to celebrate her a bit

58
00:11:46,815 --> 00:11:51,853
and talk about why she has been chosen as an employee of the

59
00:11:51,853 --> 00:11:55,590
month. Nicolle has proudly served as a

60
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:59,227
dispatcher for our police departments in 2016, bringing a

61
00:11:59,227 --> 00:12:02,464
decade of experience and dedication and commitment to the

62
00:12:02,464 --> 00:12:05,100
department and the community she serves.

63
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:07,803
nicolle recently joined our dispatch training team, formerly

64
00:12:07,803 --> 00:12:13,803
known as cto connolly she has demonstrated developing the next

65
00:12:13,909 --> 00:12:16,440
generation of dispatchers. She has time to ensure new

66
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,279
employees understand not only what to do, but why it is

67
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,183
important to do the things they do.

68
00:12:21,183 --> 00:12:25,721
when a trainee is struggling with the concept, nicolle's

69
00:12:25,721 --> 00:12:28,560
patient and willing to explain in a different way until the

70
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:31,193
trainee has a clear understanding of the material.

71
00:12:31,193 --> 00:12:34,929
her commitment to her trainees combined with her knowledge and

72
00:12:34,929 --> 00:12:39,729
experience makes her an invaluable -- excuse my

73
00:12:39,867 --> 00:12:40,669
stutter -- addition to the training team.

74
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:44,339
beyond her role as a trainer, nicolle is a dedicated and

75
00:12:44,339 --> 00:12:46,608
dependable dispatcher who consistently goes above and

76
00:12:46,608 --> 00:12:51,313
beyond for both her coworkers and for the community.

77
00:12:51,313 --> 00:12:53,681
she regularly volunteers for overtime shifts to support her

78
00:12:53,681 --> 00:12:58,481
teams, to help ensure the department is adequately

79
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,423
staffed. Your coworkers know she can be

80
00:13:01,423 --> 00:13:04,559
counted on. She's a eliable partner,

81
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,496
particularly during challenging and demanding shifts.

82
00:13:07,496 --> 00:13:10,566
nicolle takes great pride in providing exceptional service to

83
00:13:10,566 --> 00:13:12,233
the officers and citizens she assists.

84
00:13:12,233 --> 00:13:16,400
she has a strong ability to anticipate what officers may

85
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,574
need and often has information ready before it is requested.

86
00:13:19,574 --> 00:13:23,712
she makes full use of the systems and resources available

87
00:13:23,712 --> 00:13:27,382
to her to gather accurate, timely information helping

88
00:13:27,382 --> 00:13:30,652
officers in the field ake informed decisions and keep

89
00:13:30,652 --> 00:13:33,652
communities safe. Her professionalism, initiative,

90
00:13:33,789 --> 00:13:36,725
and willingness to help others example has the qualities of an

91
00:13:36,725 --> 00:13:41,525
outstanding police dispatcher. Nicolle shares that she enjoys

92
00:13:42,431 --> 00:13:46,868
the challenges that come with dispatching and most importantly

93
00:13:46,868 --> 00:13:49,904
genuinely enjoys helping people. I know this for a fact.

94
00:13:49,904 --> 00:13:53,274
my last set-along with his with nicolle and she was able to

95
00:13:53,274 --> 00:13:55,810
really enlighten me about the challenges of the work that her

96
00:13:55,810 --> 00:14:01,216
and the rest of the team does. She speaks highly of her

97
00:14:01,216 --> 00:14:03,151
coworkers and values teamwork within the unit.

98
00:14:03,151 --> 00:14:07,880
she recognizes the hard work her fellow dispatchers put in every

99
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,357
day and appreciates the way they support one another.

100
00:14:10,357 --> 00:14:13,427
nicolle grew up in fremont, california.

101
00:14:13,427 --> 00:14:15,763
outside of work she also enjoys photography.

102
00:14:15,763 --> 00:14:22,963
I have seen her work. She has got a really good eye

103
00:14:23,171 --> 00:14:25,250
and is an accomplished photographer.

104
00:14:25,250 --> 00:14:26,618
she enjoys gardening and raising chickens.

105
00:14:26,618 --> 00:14:29,888
that, I did not know about her. She's married to her high school

106
00:14:29,888 --> 00:14:34,590
sweetheart and together they have three children ages 18, 15,

107
00:14:34,590 --> 00:14:37,529
and 12, and I believe they are all here.

108
00:14:37,529 --> 00:14:39,865
2 out of 3. And I see the hubby taking the

109
00:14:39,865 --> 00:14:40,933

110
00:14:40,933 --> 00:14:43,535

111
00:14:43,535 --> 00:14:46,535
education. She recently earned three

112
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,242
associate degrees and is currently pursuing her

113
00:14:50,242 --> 00:14:52,778

profession, commitment to her coworkers, passion for helping

115
00:14:56,515 --> 00:14:58,885

00:20:57,780 --> 00:20:59,814

all the local services available at no cost to them.

179
00:21:08,923 --> 00:21:11,759
it also allows our tracy community to connect and network

180
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:15,290
with one another, whereas the theme for this year's event is

181
00:21:15,290 --> 00:21:18,833
"living your best life in tracy, bridging the digital divide,

182
00:21:18,833 --> 00:21:21,936
youth and seniors." a portion of the proceeds

183
00:21:21,936 --> 00:21:23,971
generated will benefit local organizations that provide help

184
00:21:23,971 --> 00:21:28,309
and support for foster youth. Therefore be it resolved that I,

185

00:26:57,715 --> 00:27:00,510
I love the arts and I wanted to support this.

252
00:27:00,510 --> 00:27:04,456
we did a discussion when this item came before council some

253
00:27:04,456 --> 00:27:07,125
months back and I requested some value engineering on this.

254
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:11,330
being the price tag is $600,000 for this art project, for my own

255
00:27:11,330 --> 00:27:15,434
personal feelings it's a little too high of an expenditure for

256
00:27:15,434 --> 00:27:18,704
an art project, so I won't be supporting at this time and

257
00:27:18,704 --> 00:27:20,739
that's my only comment. Thank you.

258

261
00:27:30,515 --> 00:27:32,984

comment for item 3a. >> I was also opposed to this

265
00:27:44,162 --> 00:27:47,833
when it came before. Same concerns that councilmember

266
00:27:47,833 --> 00:27:50,770

306
00:30:10,853 --> 00:30:13,957
my involvement there, because I believe it is such an important

307
00:30:13,957 --> 00:30:16,860
part of our community. We just graduated our 30th

308
00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:22,640
cohort today and it was a really great ceremony for five lucky

309
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,834
local youth to learn all about bike mechanics and lifelong

310
00:30:24,834 --> 00:30:29,806
skills that I hope they take with them for decades to come.

311
00:30:29,806 --> 00:30:34,344
so I appreciate you recognizing it as a legitimate opportunity

312
00:30:34,344 --> 00:30:38,815
for our youth, and that we continue to invest in our youth

313
00:30:38,815 --> 00:30:41,417
in a nontraditional program such as this.

314
00:30:41,417 --> 00:30:45,621
that is all from me. Again, I appreciate you, and

315
00:30:45,621 --> 00:30:49,221
have a good night. >> tank you.

316
00:30:49,292 --> 00:30:54,692
>> next speaker, please. >> I am also one of the

nonprofits -- >> please pull the microphone

318
00:30:57,635 --> 00:30:59,502

319
00:30:59,502 --> 00:31:03,908
>> sorry about that. I am also here on behalf of one

320
00:31:03,908 --> 00:31:07,577

325
00:31:26,496 --> 00:31:33,696
looking into this, for looking at the youths, and we have a

326
00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:46,169
very good experience with kids graduating and going to

327
00:31:46,169 --> 00:31:47,671
universities and different events to keep them out of

328
00:31:47,671 --> 00:31:49,671

>> let's please proceed with speaker cards.

345
00:33:19,730 --> 00:33:24,530
>> mr. Bob tanner? >> they're stopping me in the

346
00:33:39,717 --> 00:33:43,954
streets talking about fireworks. They hear it almost every week,

347
00:33:43,954 --> 00:33:49,354
even though it's illegal now, but for the fourth.

348
00:33:50,994 --> 00:33:55,231
the city council needs to stop selling safe and sane, only have

349
00:33:55,231 --> 00:34:02,431
the one fireworks you do for the city itself, and no more.

350
00:34:02,573 --> 00:34:06,110
drones should be up almost every weekend.

351
00:34:06,110 --> 00:34:11,510
this past weekend in my neighborhood we heard fireworks

352
00:34:11,648 --> 00:34:16,787
from south tracy. You could tell it was in that

353
00:34:16,787 --> 00:34:18,555
area, but you couldn't say where it was.

354
00:34:18,555 --> 00:34:23,600
you could just hear it coming up from south tracy.

355
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,197
we just need to stop having these fireworks.

356
00:34:27,197 --> 00:34:30,241
people are saying that this council is not listening,

357
00:34:30,241 --> 00:34:32,743
they're not doing their job, they should be doing something

358
00:34:32,743 --> 00:34:38,150
about it, but they are. You raised the fees, that's

359
00:34:38,150 --> 00:34:41,150
great, but fees aren't everything.

360
00:34:42,286 --> 00:34:46,290
you need to stop selling, as well.

361
00:34:46,290 --> 00:34:47,491
thank you. >> thank you, mr. Tanner.

362
00:34:47,491 --> 00:34:51,910
next speaker card, please. [reading name]

363
00:34:59,436 --> 00:35:01,972
>> good evening, mayor and members of the council.

364
00:35:01,972 --> 00:35:06,777
I am here on behalf of the greater stockton chamber of

365
00:35:06,777 --> 00:35:09,179
commerce start program, standing together against all regional

366
00:35:09,179 --> 00:35:11,315
theft. First I would like to start by

367
00:35:11,315 --> 00:35:15,453
thanking councilmember nygard for speaking at our green team

368
00:35:15,453 --> 00:35:18,422
of san joaquin event. Over the past two years, we have

369
00:35:18,422 --> 00:35:20,657
grown from an innovative approach to combating retail

370
00:35:20,657 --> 00:35:23,128
theft into an award-winning community engagement, economic

371
00:35:23,128 --> 00:35:25,610
element, and public safety initiatives built around a

372
00:35:25,610 --> 00:35:29,861
simple but powerful principal: businesses and residents taking

373
00:35:30,201 --> 00:35:32,202
ownership of their community and becoming part of that solution.

374
00:35:32,202 --> 00:35:34,405
as s.t.a.r.t. Has continued to grow throughout the region, I

375
00:35:34,405 --> 00:35:40,405
usinesses are aware of two cy resources available and provided

376
00:35:41,145 --> 00:35:44,748
to them at no cost. The first is our small business

377
00:35:44,748 --> 00:35:47,952
can ead grant. We have fewer than 90 grants

378
00:35:47,952 --> 00:35:52,289
remaining, so funding is limited and running out for that aspect.

379
00:35:52,289 --> 00:35:56,489
qualifying businesses must be independently owned, franchises

380
00:35:56,627 --> 00:36:00,498
qualify, a retail or commercial business having been open since

381
00:36:00,498 --> 00:36:04,234
2020 with a storefront located here in san joaquin county.

382
00:36:04,234 --> 00:36:07,271
the second resource is our free merchant account.

383
00:36:07,271 --> 00:36:10,708
here businesses can create a secure account to receive any

384
00:36:10,708 --> 00:36:13,977
reports of retail theft that might be made by their shoppers

385
00:36:13,977 --> 00:36:16,781
on the s.t.a.r.t. App, review and organize instant information

386
00:36:16,781 --> 00:36:20,984
as well as compiling the reports into a singular pdf document to

387
00:36:20,984 --> 00:36:23,587
attach to their online police reports.

388
00:36:23,587 --> 00:36:26,657
these resources are about giving businesses the tools they need

389
00:36:26,657 --> 00:36:28,993
to take an active role in community safety and

390
00:36:28,993 --> 00:36:32,593
strengthening the connection between businesses, residents,

391
00:36:33,831 --> 00:36:35,131
and law enforcement. For two years s.t.a.r.t. Has

392
00:36:35,131 --> 00:36:38,335
demonstrated what can happen when the private sector,

393
00:36:38,335 --> 00:36:42,439
residents, law enforcement, local government, and non-profit

394
00:36:42,439 --> 00:36:43,474
organizations all come to work together.

395
00:36:43,474 --> 00:36:46,610
as we move into the next phase of s.t.a.r.t. When you want to

396
00:36:46,610 --> 00:36:49,212
continue building this partnership here in tracy.

397
00:36:49,212 --> 00:36:52,216
I strongly encourage tracy businesses to visit to create

398
00:36:52,216 --> 00:36:57,221
their account and see if they qualify to receive th the free

399
00:36:57,221 --> 00:36:59,222
camera grant. With fewer than 90 remaining, I

400
00:36:59,222 --> 00:37:03,422
encourage businesses to apply while funding lasts.

401
00:37:03,894 --> 00:37:06,196
thank you. >> next speaker card, please.

402
00:37:06,196 --> 00:37:08,596
>> nancy rush. >> good evening.

403
00:37:12,436 --> 00:37:15,640
I wanted to once again talk about climate change.

404
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:22,694
we need to update our climate change plan in the city of

405
00:37:22,694 --> 00:37:24,863
tracy. This year we are

406
00:37:24,863 --> 00:37:31,402
expected -- they have projected a 500-year el nino, warmer and

407
00:37:31,402 --> 00:37:35,406
wetter, very wet. I haven't heard anything from

408
00:37:35,406 --> 00:37:40,879
this city nor the county. The county of marin is dredging

409
00:37:40,879 --> 00:37:43,815
creeks and advising other residents to pack their go bags

410
00:37:43,815 --> 00:37:48,180
and make arrangements for what they will do in the event of a

411
00:37:48,180 --> 00:37:50,221
flood. I haven't seen anything from he

412
00:37:50,221 --> 00:37:53,291
city or the county. The county, on the 19th, the

413
00:37:53,291 --> 00:37:58,230
same day as tracy connects, is having a "please help clean up

414
00:37:58,230 --> 00:38:02,734
our stormwater ways." and I will be doing that while

415
00:38:02,734 --> 00:38:04,569
you guys are having fun in the park.

416
00:38:04,569 --> 00:38:07,706
I will clean up the trash. But it doesn't look to me like

417
00:38:07,706 --> 00:38:11,943
it is ready. There are weeds, there's a lot

418
00:38:11,943 --> 00:38:14,379
of stuff growing, and I have seen in past years where those

419
00:38:14,379 --> 00:38:20,510
waterways are full. So if this is a 500-year event,

420
00:38:20,510 --> 00:38:23,454
they might overfill. I know in the past they have had

421
00:38:23,454 --> 00:38:26,725
floods on the outskirts of the city limits, and we have had

422
00:38:26,725 --> 00:38:33,925
very large trees keel over on houses because the roots are so

423
00:38:34,799 --> 00:38:37,469
soaked and the soil will no longer hold them.

424
00:38:37,469 --> 00:38:41,172
so I would like for us to prepare and maybe have something

425
00:38:41,172 --> 00:38:43,675
in a plan. That's it.

426
00:38:43,675 --> 00:38:46,675
thanks. >> thank you, ms. Rush.

427
00:38:47,378 --> 00:38:50,978
next speaker card, please. >> pat howell.

428
00:38:59,691 --> 00:39:02,691
>> good evening, council. Pat howell.

429
00:39:04,162 --> 00:39:07,632
I understand that we are updating our 20-year plan.

430
00:39:07,632 --> 00:39:11,703
instead of just reviewing and tweaking this document as the

431
00:39:11,703 --> 00:39:17,800
state requires, let's make a real commitment to a climate

432
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,208
action plan. I understand that the elements

433
00:39:21,212 --> 00:39:25,350
of this 20-year plan includes safety policies to protect our

434
00:39:25,350 --> 00:39:30,150
population from climate events, fire, flood, drought, water,

435
00:39:31,489 --> 00:39:32,858
soil contamination, air quality, et cetera.

436
00:39:32,858 --> 00:39:36,729
it is the perfect time to develop a climate action plan

437
00:39:36,729 --> 00:39:43,268
that provides yearly goals so that budgets can be adopted to

438
00:39:43,268 --> 00:39:46,404
support these goals. Climate action plans with the

439
00:39:46,404 --> 00:39:51,900
purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other

440
00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:53,120
environment or problems are recommended by the california

441
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,212
air quality board. Millions of california citizens

442
00:39:58,216 --> 00:40:02,190
are living in towns and cities with voluntary climate action

443
00:40:02,190 --> 00:40:05,623
plans. We live in a very dangerous

444
00:40:05,623 --> 00:40:08,250
environment with nitrates and other contaminants used by

445
00:40:08,250 --> 00:40:12,397
agriculture, which can be found in our water and our soil.

446
00:40:12,397 --> 00:40:15,621
air pollution is an extremely serious problem that causes many

447
00:40:15,621 --> 00:40:21,210
asthma emergencies a year. Our wind patterns coming through

448
00:40:21,927 --> 00:40:24,730
ultima pass increase the dangers for wildfires.

449
00:40:24,730 --> 00:40:29,268
also our neighbor, the lawrence -- the livermore

450
00:40:29,268 --> 00:40:33,339
national lab, 15 miles from us, has increased their nuclear

451
00:40:33,339 --> 00:40:36,541
weapon production and design tip ability.

452
00:40:36,541 --> 00:40:40,745
they will meta-plutonium now available by our national

453
00:40:40,745 --> 00:40:45,217
government and that means that plutonium and highly

454
00:40:45,217 --> 00:40:48,753
radioactive waste will be transported over our major

455
00:40:48,753 --> 00:40:54,153
highways that surround us. We must do better and

456
00:40:57,529 --> 00:41:03,202
immediately do a climate action plan and improve our all-ctizen

457
00:41:03,202 --> 00:41:05,437
disaster response plan. Thank you.

458
00:41:05,437 --> 00:41:09,908
>> thank you, ms. Howell. Next speaker card, please.

459
00:41:09,908 --> 00:41:13,508
>> larkin fleckner. >> good evening, mayor and

460
00:41:25,792 --> 00:41:28,594
council members. It is nice to see you all again.

461
00:41:28,594 --> 00:41:31,263
I recently spoke at a city council meeting asking that the

462
00:41:31,263 --> 00:41:33,800
city move forward with an updated omprehensive climate

463
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,468
action plan. At the time it was insinuated by

464
00:41:36,468 --> 00:41:40,339
another resident in attendance that I not be part of some

465
00:41:40,339 --> 00:41:42,474
nefarious out of town climate organization traveling from city

466
00:41:42,474 --> 00:41:45,677
to city to spread my insidious pro-tree messaging.

467
00:41:45,677 --> 00:41:52,877
as intriguing as that may sound, for the record, I am not.

468
00:41:55,286 --> 00:41:56,621
I am a proud resident of tracy. I live here with my husband and

469
00:41:56,621 --> 00:41:57,489
two children. My parents and my little brother

470
00:41:57,489 --> 00:41:59,424
are also longtime residents. They care deeply about our city.

471
00:41:59,424 --> 00:42:01,660
I assure you that I would not bring something to council if I

472
00:42:01,660 --> 00:42:05,731
did not feel it were important. With that I will move to my ask.

473
00:42:05,731 --> 00:42:08,633
I am appreciative of you taking time to listen to the recent

474
00:42:08,633 --> 00:42:11,636
requests for an updated climate action plan.

475
00:42:11,636 --> 00:42:14,372
I believe that council is amiable to the idea, which is

476
00:42:14,372 --> 00:42:16,508
awesome. However, I don't see it as a

477
00:42:16,508 --> 00:42:19,844
topic for today's agenda. I am respectfully asking

478
00:42:19,844 --> 00:42:26,444
city council to request that this item be agen agendized fore

479
00:42:27,518 --> 00:42:33,518
next meeting in accordance with the protocols and rules of

480
00:42:33,725 --> 00:42:36,995
procedure, which states that the motion maker may include a

481
00:42:36,995 --> 00:42:39,931
specific meeting date on which the item must be brought to the

482
00:42:39,931 --> 00:42:44,803
cty council for consideration, and such date shall prevail

483
00:42:44,803 --> 00:42:47,105
unless the city manager provides information to explain that such

484
00:42:47,105 --> 00:42:51,810
date is not possible either due to current workloads, staffing,

485
00:42:51,810 --> 00:42:54,112
and/or anticipated research. Thank you for your time and

486
00:42:54,112 --> 00:42:58,283
consideration and thank you for what you do.

487
00:42:58,283 --> 00:43:01,820
>> thank you. Next speaker card, please.

488
00:43:01,820 --> 00:43:04,820
>> veronica vargas. >> good afternoon, mayor,

489
00:43:11,569 --> 00:43:17,569
city council, staff members. I has been asked, or three

490
00:43:18,209 --> 00:43:22,380
bullet point items, for you all to consider, and I would love if

491
00:43:22,380 --> 00:43:27,217
this council decides to bring my ask to the future discussion

492
00:43:27,217 --> 00:43:30,817
for future consideration in a futur.

493
00:43:31,723 --> 00:43:37,123
this is three points. First, the activation of the

494
00:43:37,128 --> 00:43:40,640
nature park. We asked the city council direct

495
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,867
staff to bring a design and construction workflow to phase

496
00:43:43,867 --> 00:43:49,207
one of the nature park. This should and could utilize

497
00:43:49,207 --> 00:43:53,110
the voter approved measure b fundings, ensuring zero impact

498
00:43:53,110 --> 00:43:58,411
to the city general fund. To ensure fiscal responsibility,

499
00:43:59,685 --> 00:44:06,285
council should establish a firm target budget ap for phase one.

500
00:44:06,557 --> 00:44:09,660
furthermore, the community requests that phase one design

501
00:44:09,660 --> 00:44:13,497
prioritize immediate integration of youth structure for

502
00:44:13,497 --> 00:44:16,367
agricultural learning opportunities, like a greenh

503
00:44:16,367 --> 00:44:20,567
greenhouse, outdoor nature education, and an education

504
00:44:21,205 --> 00:44:23,975
center alongside trails and utilities infrastructure for the

505
00:44:23,975 --> 00:44:28,175
nature park. Number two, the urban forestry

506
00:44:30,481 --> 00:44:31,749
management plan and ordinance update.

507
00:44:31,749 --> 00:44:36,654
to protect and enhance the tracy existing green canopy, we

508
00:44:36,654 --> 00:44:42,654
request that the city council formally adopt this plan, to

509
00:44:43,461 --> 00:44:47,799
update the tracy tree ordinance to ensure the robust heritage

510
00:44:47,799 --> 00:44:53,199
tree policy and enforce higher tree replacement ratios of 1:3

511
00:44:54,739 --> 00:44:57,608
o greater for private and commercial development.

512
00:44:57,608 --> 00:45:01,212
I'm going to leave the third item to one of the board members

513
00:45:01,212 --> 00:45:04,381
to finish, and it is a pleasure being here this evening.

514
00:45:04,381 --> 00:45:07,981
thank you. >> thank you, ms. Vargas.

515
00:45:08,686 --> 00:45:11,490
next speaker card, please. >> mayor, we have no additional

516
00:45:11,490 --> 00:45:14,759
speaker cards but I do have a speaker on line.

517
00:45:14,759 --> 00:45:17,995
>> let's proceed with who is in chambers right now.

518
00:45:17,995 --> 00:45:22,795
who would like to speak next? >> good evening.

519
00:45:32,743 --> 00:45:37,281
my name is ellen mcrae. I am a lifelong resident of

520
00:45:37,281 --> 00:45:40,718
tracy, and I would like to add my voice to veronica's in hopes

521
00:45:40,718 --> 00:45:45,257
that you will implement -- >> ms. Mccray, could you speak

522
00:45:45,257 --> 00:45:47,692
a little closer to the microphone?

523
00:45:47,692 --> 00:45:50,495
thank you. >> in hope that you will

524
00:45:50,495 --> 00:45:52,263
implement the urban forest management plan, that you will

525
00:45:52,263 --> 00:45:58,736
begin work on the nature park, and that you can implement some

526
00:45:58,736 --> 00:46:03,190
kind of city department to protect and expand tracy's

527
00:46:03,190 --> 00:46:03,753
trees. Thank you.

528
00:46:03,753 --> 00:46:07,953
>> thank you, ms. Mcrae. Next speaker, please.

529
00:46:14,497 --> 00:46:18,834
>> good evening. My ame is cynthia eese, and I

530
00:46:18,834 --> 00:46:20,904
am a tracy resident. I'm here today to support an

531
00:46:20,904 --> 00:46:24,841
updated climate action plan. Residents have been asking for

532
00:46:24,841 --> 00:46:28,779
this update dating back to 2021, and as recently as the last

533
00:46:28,779 --> 00:46:33,449
meeting on august 18th. The lack of follow-through is

534
00:46:33,449 --> 00:46:35,118
concerning. That is why I am asking in this

535
00:46:35,118 --> 00:46:41,118
item be agendized for the next council meeting on septem

536
00:46:43,392 --> 00:46:46,996
september 15th in accordance with item four dot three dot one

537
00:46:46,996 --> 00:46:50,466
dot three of the protocols and rules of procedure.

538
00:46:50,466 --> 00:46:52,535
that section indicates a council member can request a specific

539
00:46:52,535 --> 00:46:58,535
gendized and the date should prevail unless the city manager

540
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:03,790
provides information explain why it is not possible.

541
00:47:03,790 --> 00:47:07,350
as I have stated previously, we are contending with extreme

542
00:47:07,350 --> 00:47:10,350
weather. There is rising heat.

543
00:47:10,620 --> 00:47:14,623
tracy faces rising heat, more frequent triple digit summer

544
00:47:14,623 --> 00:47:17,560
days, and updating plans protect vulnerable residents.

545
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,160
central valley water supplies are shrinking.

546
00:47:22,699 --> 00:47:25,568
smarter water management secures future growth.

547
00:47:25,568 --> 00:47:27,837
wildfire smoke and traffic pollution harm health.

548
00:47:27,837 --> 00:47:31,437
better plans reduce local air risks.

549
00:47:31,508 --> 00:47:35,108
also there is a state compliance.

550
00:47:36,513 --> 00:47:39,182
ew laws. Plans must align with there's also grant money that

551
00:47:39,182 --> 00:47:43,982
could be accessed, updated plans unlock these funds.

552
00:47:44,253 --> 00:47:49,653
it also lowers utility bills, green building codes save

553
00:47:49,826 --> 00:47:52,929
residents money. Energy efficiency drops monthly

554
00:47:52,929 --> 00:47:56,399
costs. So I and asking you, please put

555
00:47:56,399 --> 00:47:59,999
this on the agenda. Thank you.

556
00:48:00,202 --> 00:48:04,402
>> thank you, ms. Reese. Next speaker, please.

557
00:48:16,285 --> 00:48:18,354
>> good evening, mayor and council members, staff.

558
00:48:18,354 --> 00:48:22,825
it looks like I'm part of the conspiracy here, to improve the

559
00:48:22,825 --> 00:48:23,560
environment here in the community.

560
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:30,760
let me read bullet .3. I think you have a copy of it.

561
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,770
the tracy tree foundation is asking for stability for tree

562
00:48:33,770 --> 00:48:38,570
development and wellness, to guarantee the long-term survival

563
00:48:39,575 --> 00:48:41,377
of our urban forest. We request that the council

564
00:48:41,377 --> 00:48:46,777
direct staff to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a

565
00:48:46,983 --> 00:48:49,719
dedicated department or division for tree development and

566
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,919
wellness. This entity would be tasked with

567
00:48:54,994 --> 00:48:58,164
cross-departmental coordination, working alongside public works

568
00:48:58,164 --> 00:49:02,101
engineering and water utilities to establish strict, sustainable

569
00:49:02,101 --> 00:49:04,770
irrigation standards. The city trees manage route and

570
00:49:04,770 --> 00:49:08,370
sidewalk mitigation and protect public safety.

571
00:49:12,678 --> 00:49:15,681
currently trees are taken care of by public works and the

572
00:49:15,681 --> 00:49:18,884
recreation department, and I think it would be better if we

573
00:49:18,884 --> 00:49:24,884
had sort of a unified central department, group, that deals

574
00:49:26,592 --> 00:49:30,196
with that. I think we would be better

575
00:49:30,196 --> 00:49:34,433
served as a community. That said, we are looking to

576
00:49:34,433 --> 00:49:36,836
plant around 200 trees on october 3rd, and we are looking

577
00:49:36,836 --> 00:49:39,372
for cooperation from the city to do that.

578
00:49:39,372 --> 00:49:41,840
so any help would be appreciated.

579
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,676
thank you. >> thank you.

580
00:49:43,676 --> 00:49:49,760
next speaker, please. Whoever would like to speak ne

581
00:49:49,181 --> 00:49:52,181
next. >> good evening, mayor and

582
00:49:56,856 --> 00:49:58,790
council, staff, ladies and gentlemen.

583
00:49:58,790 --> 00:50:04,397
I'm just here with a request, in other ask, I guess you could

584
00:50:04,397 --> 00:50:06,131
say. As you know september we have

585
00:50:06,131 --> 00:50:09,100
9/11, the 25th anniversary this year.

586
00:50:09,100 --> 00:50:13,500
I want to say on the record that I'm not asking anyone to stop

587
00:50:13,500 --> 00:50:15,675
living or stop celebrating whatever they are, but just out

588
00:50:15,675 --> 00:50:19,612
of respect, especially the 25th anniversary, no disrespect to

589
00:50:19,612 --> 00:50:24,282
the staff at all, I love you guys, you worked really hard,

590
00:50:24,282 --> 00:50:27,486
graham mcdonald is a great guy.

591
00:50:27,486 --> 00:50:30,890
how did the city and at putting a block party on 9/11?

592
00:50:30,890 --> 00:50:34,860
many other fridays. It could have been on any other

593
00:50:34,860 --> 00:50:37,363
friday. It is the 25th anniversary.

594
00:50:37,363 --> 00:50:40,599
again, I'm not saying everybody should stop living their life

595
00:50:40,599 --> 00:50:42,701
and be sad. We are a strong and resilient

596
00:50:42,701 --> 00:50:46,901
nation. We do get up and go.

597
00:50:47,273 --> 00:50:49,475
but this s close to many people's heart.

598
00:50:49,475 --> 00:50:53,612
I might be the lone wolf here when I say this, but I have been

599
00:50:53,612 --> 00:50:58,184
hosting a 9/11 memorial event since 2002 and this is my 25th

600
00:50:58,184 --> 00:51:03,188
year of doing it. Mayor, you have attended it.

601
00:51:03,188 --> 00:51:05,459
mr. Evans, steve. M. Abercrombie.

602
00:51:05,459 --> 00:51:08,561
and a couple people here have attended it.

603
00:51:08,561 --> 00:51:11,330
veronica has attended it. So it is very

604
00:51:11,330 --> 00:51:13,132
important -- again, please don't get me wrong, I'm not telling

605
00:51:13,132 --> 00:51:17,203
you guys to do something from the city, but at least don't do

606
00:51:17,203 --> 00:51:18,710
something that doesn't sound right.

607
00:51:18,710 --> 00:51:21,407
just because you can do it doesn't mean you should do it.

608
00:51:21,407 --> 00:51:25,277
hs many other fridays. Please, if you can, move that

609
00:51:25,277 --> 00:51:28,847
9/11 block party on that day. I'm posting this, I have been

610
00:51:28,847 --> 00:51:31,683
hosting it, and I never keep a penny of this money.

611
00:51:31,683 --> 00:51:35,687
this is a self-funded event. All the money raised has been

612
00:51:35,687 --> 00:51:38,323
given back to the tracy firefighters association and the

613
00:51:38,323 --> 00:51:39,893
police officers association. You can ask them any time how

614
00:51:39,893 --> 00:51:42,894
much has been given to them because I don't want to brag

615
00:51:42,894 --> 00:51:44,780
about it. It's been over hundreds of

616
00:51:44,780 --> 00:51:46,382
thousands. This is something close to not

617
00:51:46,382 --> 00:51:49,985
only my heart but to a lot of people who know what this means.

618
00:51:49,985 --> 00:51:52,254
a lot of people do know what this means.

619
00:51:52,254 --> 00:51:55,725
I'm not saying they don't know. Would it carry something,

620
00:51:55,725 --> 00:51:58,193
because if we forget about history, I don't want to go that

621
00:51:58,193 --> 00:52:01,620
route, that I just want to say thank you so much for the time,

622
00:52:01,620 --> 00:52:04,733
appreciate it. God bless you and god bless the

623
00:52:04,733 --> 00:52:06,468
united states of america. Thank you.

624
00:52:06,468 --> 00:52:09,468
>> thank you. Next speaker, please.

625
00:52:10,672 --> 00:52:13,676
>> can anybody hear me? >> yes, thank you.

626
00:52:13,676 --> 00:52:17,790
>> my name is anthony villal villalobos.

627
00:52:17,790 --> 00:52:18,814
I wrote on this paper because I get nervous.

628
00:52:18,814 --> 00:52:23,218
I like to blabber a lot. All right.

629
00:52:23,218 --> 00:52:25,287
[clears throat] what independent oversight does

630
00:52:25,287 --> 00:52:29,291
the city have to ensure that the ntm is providing the services

631
00:52:29,291 --> 00:52:34,691
taxpayers are paying for, that the city personnel are

632
00:52:35,970 --> 00:52:39,897
maintaining appropriate boundaries -- sorry -- with ntmd

633
00:52:45,875 --> 00:52:47,776
that the safety and discipline of investigations and employment

634
00:52:47,776 --> 00:52:54,376
are being applied constantly? If there's no -- you know, just

635
00:52:55,784 --> 00:52:58,854
wondering what's going on. Just checking for the bus

636
00:52:58,854 --> 00:53:01,790
services. That's what I'm talking about.

637
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:04,693
so yeah. Pretty much that's -- that's

638
00:53:04,693 --> 00:53:09,493
what I'm talking about. >> thank you, mr. Villalobos.

639
00:53:09,531 --> 00:53:12,670
>> you're welcome. Have a nice night.

640
00:53:12,670 --> 00:53:15,670
>> you, too. Next speaker, please.

641
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,608
>> good evening, mr. Mayor, city council.

642
00:53:23,478 --> 00:53:26,581
>> good evening. >> I am here to request the same

643
00:53:26,581 --> 00:53:31,981
request that my colleague did, regarding the implementation of

644
00:53:35,758 --> 00:53:39,358
forest management, and the nature park.

645
00:53:43,665 --> 00:53:46,340
that's it. Very short.

646
00:53:46,340 --> 00:53:49,340
>> thank you. Next speaker, please.

647
00:53:52,507 --> 00:53:55,778
>> good evening, mr. Mayor. Todd lee berg.

648
00:53:55,778 --> 00:53:59,114
two topics tonight. First one is halloween.

649
00:53:59,114 --> 00:54:03,152
a year ago, halloween, two children were hit outside the

650
00:54:03,152 --> 00:54:07,352
fairhaven neighborhood. To your credit, you authorized

651
00:54:07,356 --> 00:54:10,920
construction of the streetlight. That streetlight is not yet

652
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:11,861
installed. There are temporary signs out

653
00:54:11,861 --> 00:54:14,620
there, which is a positive first step.

654
00:54:14,620 --> 00:54:17,199
that being said, you have less than eight weeks to get a

655
00:54:17,199 --> 00:54:19,768
streetlight installed, which is probably not going to happen.

656
00:54:19,768 --> 00:54:24,672
I'm hoping you guys can have an option b to direct traffic out

657
00:54:24,672 --> 00:54:28,777
there if the light is not installed.

658
00:54:28,777 --> 00:54:31,947
second topic, mr. Mayor, last week or two weeks ago you

659
00:54:31,947 --> 00:54:34,347
announced the settlement agreement.

660
00:54:35,701 --> 00:54:40,838
I'm cautiously optimistic that this will lead to positive

661
00:54:40,838 --> 00:54:45,710
results, hat they eventually turn over the land without issue

662
00:54:45,710 --> 00:54:51,110
and finally pay the $8 million. Those are long-standing and

663
00:54:51,516 --> 00:54:53,452
overdue issues. At the same time, you announced

664
00:54:53,452 --> 00:54:55,587
that the city will be playing some money, approximately

665
00:54:55,587 --> 00:55:02,187
$5 million is what I'm hearing. Sutherland has a long history of

666
00:55:03,394 --> 00:55:07,990
not honoring their legal obligations, paying the bills on

667
00:55:07,990 --> 00:55:09,668
time. I strongly urge the city, before

668
00:55:09,668 --> 00:55:15,440
you pay any money, make sure you have the land completely deeded

669
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,810
and you have the full $8 million.

670
00:55:17,810 --> 00:55:21,546
don't pay before then, please. Thank you.

671
00:55:21,546 --> 00:55:24,546
>> thank you. Next speaker, please.

672
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,892
>> good evening. Kevin toback, on the board of

673
00:55:40,298 --> 00:55:43,735
the district and on behalf of the cemetery I would like to

674
00:55:43,735 --> 00:55:45,837
thank the council for approving the item at the last meeting.

675
00:55:45,837 --> 00:55:50,575
the cemetery is such a special place in this community was so

676
00:55:50,575 --> 00:55:55,113
many of our loved ones there. It was so helpful to see that

677
00:55:55,113 --> 00:55:58,383
the city will provide some policing to the cemetery

678
00:55:58,383 --> 00:56:00,819
district after hours. It's unfortunate that some folks

679
00:56:00,819 --> 00:56:04,523
just can't follow the rules and regulations of the cemetery

680
00:56:04,523 --> 00:56:06,124
district, which are pretty standard.

681
00:56:06,124 --> 00:56:09,861
so I just wanted let you know we are very thankful for what the

682
00:56:09,861 --> 00:56:12,597
city is doing for the cemetery. I want to thank the police

683
00:56:12,597 --> 00:56:17,397
department in particular, anna contrasts, and the city

684
00:56:19,700 --> 00:56:22,407
attorney's office for working with our staff and our egal

685
00:56:22,407 --> 00:56:23,408
counsel, and thank you very much.

686
00:56:23,408 --> 00:56:26,678
I don't think a lot of people know this, the cemetery is 145

687
00:56:26,678 --> 00:56:29,514
years old. There's a lot of history there.

688
00:56:29,514 --> 00:56:31,551
it's a special place. So I wanted to thank you very

689
00:56:31,551 --> 00:56:36,351
much for providing the assistance at the cemetery.

690
00:56:37,689 --> 00:56:40,689
>> thank you. Next speaker, please.

691
00:56:46,431 --> 00:56:52,431
>> good evening, city council. I'm going to talk about the

692
00:56:53,710 --> 00:56:56,608
nature park. There is $8.5 million that has

693
00:56:56,608 --> 00:57:01,408
been set aside. We have been waiting patiently,

694
00:57:01,913 --> 00:57:04,583
patiently, for years, to have a beginning on the nature park.

695
00:57:04,583 --> 00:57:08,586
now that all the money has been collected, we are asking that

696
00:57:08,586 --> 00:57:14,225
you direct staff to start to put out bids, and that we can

697
00:57:14,225 --> 00:57:21,425
actually begin, we can go. I also would like to see the

698
00:57:21,533 --> 00:57:26,805
urban forestry management plan, which was accepted by the

699
00:57:26,805 --> 00:57:32,840
council but has not yet been implemented, I would like to see

700
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,355
that began, as well. I do have to note that, if those

701
00:57:36,355 --> 00:57:42,955
of these things are done, you are like halfway to compliance

702
00:57:46,765 --> 00:57:48,301
on the of environmental action plan.

703
00:57:48,301 --> 00:57:53,101
so everything ere tonight is kind of dovetailing.

704
00:57:54,239 --> 00:57:57,709
I do appreciate your service, and thank you.

705
00:57:57,709 --> 00:58:00,709
>> thank you. Next speaker, please.

706
00:58:02,213 --> 00:58:05,213
seeing none -- l. Oh.

707
00:58:14,459 --> 00:58:19,197
>> I wrote it down this week. Good evening, council.

708
00:58:19,197 --> 00:58:23,335
I have got a rave, a ranch, and a question for you.

709
00:58:23,335 --> 00:58:27,710
first the rave. A city staff member listened at

710
00:58:27,710 --> 00:58:29,808
the last meeting when I brought up the pothole on grant line.

711
00:58:29,808 --> 00:58:32,878
my wife and I have been trying to get it fixed for over a year.

712
00:58:32,878 --> 00:58:38,549
less than a week after mentioning it here, it was

713
00:58:38,549 --> 00:58:41,219
repaired. That is what responsiveness

714
00:58:41,219 --> 00:58:44,556
looks like. Whoever handled this deserves

715
00:58:44,556 --> 00:58:47,559
employee of the month. When the system works, I would

716
00:58:47,559 --> 00:58:51,759
like to say so. Now the rant.

717
00:58:56,768 --> 00:59:01,973
we just didn't move the homeless person out of one part to let

718
00:59:01,973 --> 00:59:04,442
them settle in another. I reported the same woman living

719
00:59:04,442 --> 00:59:06,244
in lincoln park for about a year.

720
00:59:06,244 --> 00:59:08,246
I've been told they have new codes in the parks, that the

721
00:59:08,246 --> 00:59:14,652
staff knows her, familiar faces, and that the police might police

722
00:59:14,652 --> 00:59:18,923
need to catch her sleeping overnight, but every morning she

723
00:59:18,923 --> 00:59:20,258
is still there. Now it looks like we are up to

724
00:59:20,258 --> 00:59:22,827
three people living in that park.

725
00:59:22,827 --> 00:59:26,231
I ask you, are we actually addressing homelessness in our

726
00:59:26,231 --> 00:59:28,867
parks or are we just trying to make residents feel like

727
00:59:28,867 --> 00:59:33,667
something is happening? Because from ground level it

728
00:59:34,405 --> 00:59:37,676
doesn't look like progress, it looks like we are spending a lot

729
00:59:37,676 --> 00:59:41,946
of money shuffling people around without solving anything.

730
00:59:41,946 --> 00:59:45,350
with no homeless commission any longer, the only place that you

731
00:59:45,350 --> 00:59:50,421
can bring this up is before you. And finally, the question.

732
00:59:50,421 --> 00:59:57,228
the flashing light for the fire station on 11th street had a

733
00:59:57,228 --> 01:00:00,310
burned-out lower left bulb. I noticed it weeks ago, but kept

734
01:00:00,310 --> 01:00:06,310
forgetting to report it. My wife reported it late last

735
01:00:09,708 --> 01:00:14,378
week, and it was fixed the next day.

736
01:00:14,378 --> 01:00:18,578
that's the part that really bothers me.

737
01:00:20,690 --> 01:00:25,108
why did it take a resident to report something that the city

738
01:00:25,108 --> 01:00:25,942
employees -- >> your time is up.

739
01:00:25,942 --> 01:00:29,542
>> I'll finish it later. >> thank you.

740
01:00:31,448 --> 01:00:36,248
next speaker, please. >> I was going to rebut

741
01:00:45,895 --> 01:00:50,900
everything chuck said, but it didn't take too long.

742
01:00:50,900 --> 01:00:54,570
s my representative to request nd at the end of the meeting to

743
01:00:54,570 --> 01:01:01,170
have the staff provide you with a report that says how

744
01:01:04,470 --> 01:01:06,449
public-private partnership's work, and what are the benefits

745
01:01:06,449 --> 01:01:09,752
and the advantages. I think now is a really great

746
01:01:09,752 --> 01:01:14,991
opportunity, that urban forest can be about $0.30 on the dollar

747
01:01:14,991 --> 01:01:18,261
with public-private, but I would like to hear their take on it.

748
01:01:18,261 --> 01:01:21,497
they can't do anything if I ask them, but if you ask them that

749
01:01:21,497 --> 01:01:27,497
would be helpful. The other thing is they had that

750
01:01:28,700 --> 01:01:30,873
fiasco that we didn't collect enough money and we had to raise

751
01:01:30,873 --> 01:01:34,944
the rates and everybody in town is upset, so to avoid that

752
01:01:34,944 --> 01:01:38,549
happening to the people ho are going to replace you in ten

753
01:01:38,549 --> 01:01:42,418
years when the measure b money stops, I would like to suggest

754
01:01:42,418 --> 01:01:47,958
to you that you request from the city what the operational costs

755
01:01:47,958 --> 01:01:55,158
are going to be of all of the new capital improvements from

756
01:01:56,132 --> 01:01:59,502
measure b, how it's going to be at year 20 when there is no

757
01:01:59,502 --> 01:02:02,906
revenue to support it. It will be a big number.

758
01:02:02,906 --> 01:02:04,641
you won't have the budget for it.

759
01:02:04,641 --> 01:02:08,110
you might be shocked, but you should ask that question ahead

760
01:02:08,110 --> 01:02:11,781
of time so you can take some sort of action.

761
01:02:11,781 --> 01:02:19,189
the other is, in ancient history I was on the city council one

762
01:02:19,189 --> 01:02:23,325
time, and they actually presented a budget that had a

763
01:02:23,325 --> 01:02:28,264
per unit cost and it. You do not have such a budget,

764
01:02:28,264 --> 01:02:31,835
and unless you ask for one, you will never get one.

765
01:02:31,835 --> 01:02:36,940
it is very hard to parse what is the value of the art compared to

766
01:02:36,940 --> 01:02:43,113
the value of anything else if you don't know what it costs per

767
01:02:43,113 --> 01:02:44,280
unit. You need to ask for that.

768
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:48,480
thank you very much. >> any additional speakers?

769
01:02:52,155 --> 01:02:57,555
seeing none in chambers, do we have any online?

770
01:02:58,427 --> 01:03:02,627
>> yes, mayor. We have one speaker online.

771
01:03:03,166 --> 01:03:06,766
>> let's proceed. >> can you hear me?

772
01:03:06,836 --> 01:03:09,305
>> yes, thank you. >> excellent, I'll just get

773
01:03:09,305 --> 01:03:10,507
started. Good evening, my name is andrew.

774
01:03:10,507 --> 01:03:14,851
I am accessing my opposition to the widespread use of flock

775
01:03:14,851 --> 01:03:18,321
cameras in the city of tracy. I'm calling on city council to

776
01:03:18,321 --> 01:03:22,590
cancel the city contract with flock it neatly and not seek an

777
01:03:22,590 --> 01:03:23,926
alternative vendor. These cameras are a great threat

778
01:03:23,926 --> 01:03:25,929
to our citizens' privacy and safety.

779
01:03:25,929 --> 01:03:30,167
due to the nature of how the system works, I as a member of

780
01:03:30,167 --> 01:03:32,936
the public have no idea whether searches are for legitimate

781
01:03:32,936 --> 01:03:35,872
purposes. Just this year there was a

782
01:03:35,872 --> 01:03:39,776
public records request that revealed federal agents

783
01:03:39,776 --> 01:03:42,879
including I.c.e. Have been using these in violation of california

784
01:03:42,879 --> 01:03:46,650
law. As it so happens, tracy pd has

785
01:03:46,650 --> 01:03:49,419
no way of knowing if searches are for legitimate purposes

786
01:03:49,419 --> 01:03:53,157
since they share data with 363 other police departments in

787
01:03:53,157 --> 01:03:55,493
california according to their disclosure.

788
01:03:55,493 --> 01:03:59,693
excuse me. This allows all those agencies

789
01:04:01,430 --> 01:04:05,902
to search tracy's network of cameras th at will.

790
01:04:05,902 --> 01:04:10,306
if we make it estimate that mean 360ish other agencies, let's say

791
01:04:10,306 --> 01:04:12,842
a dozen officers have search credentials that each

792
01:04:12,842 --> 01:04:15,711
department. The math works out to about 4300

793
01:04:15,711 --> 01:04:19,716
people who can search tracy's network and track whoever they

794
01:04:19,716 --> 01:04:24,854
want without a warrant. It would be really difficult to

795
01:04:24,854 --> 01:04:30,193
phish and use it for criminal purposes but I digress.

796
01:04:30,193 --> 01:04:37,393
I've only got 2 minutes, so much ais made about china and the

797
01:04:39,102 --> 01:04:40,403
government who uses surveillance to surveilled their citizens.

798
01:04:40,403 --> 01:04:43,606
let me remind you that these systems were designed by

799
01:04:43,606 --> 01:04:48,611
american companies such as oracle and cisco solely for the

800
01:04:48,611 --> 01:04:52,820
same systems are used in the u.s. And it is growing one city

801
01:04:52,820 --> 01:04:55,682
at a time. More invasive surveillance

802
01:04:55,752 --> 01:04:59,188
technology at a time. I ask everyone present, do we

803
01:04:59,188 --> 01:05:01,826
truly value our freedoms or will we yield them for some perceived

804
01:05:01,826 --> 01:05:05,426
short-term benefit? Visit deflocktracy.com for

805
01:05:10,367 --> 01:05:13,367
more. I yield my time.

806
01:05:13,903 --> 01:05:16,903
>> thank you. Next speaker, please.

807
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,110
no additional speakers? >> no additional speakers

808
01:05:20,110 --> 01:05:20,710
online. >> thank you.

809
01:05:20,710 --> 01:05:23,913
with that we will close out items from the audience.

810
01:05:23,913 --> 01:05:27,249
that brings us to public hearings.

811
01:05:27,249 --> 01:05:32,922
first up we have item 5a related to the development impact fee

812
01:05:32,922 --> 01:05:35,922
nexus studies. Staff report, please.

813
01:05:41,197 --> 01:05:43,199
>> thank you. Good evening.

814
01:05:43,199 --> 01:05:46,537
my name is veronica child, from the community and economic

815
01:05:46,537 --> 01:05:49,390
develop a department. This evening I'm going to give

816
01:05:49,390 --> 01:05:51,674
you a presentation about our nexus studies and how they

817
01:05:51,674 --> 01:05:55,478
relate to our master plans, and you're asking the city council

818
01:05:55,478 --> 01:06:00,750
adopt the new nexus studies and associated development impact

819
01:06:00,750 --> 01:06:04,950
fees. The city of tracy currently has

820
01:06:06,577 --> 01:06:08,977
seven infrastructure master plans.

821
01:06:09,978 --> 01:06:14,178
transportation, water, sewer, storm, public safety, public

822
01:06:14,450 --> 01:06:17,920
facilities, and parks. This identifies the long-term

823
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:19,822
intersection needs and costs associated with the

824
01:06:19,822 --> 01:06:22,822
infrastructure to support future growth.

825
01:06:23,259 --> 01:06:28,731
these studies take he master plan cost data and determine new

826
01:06:28,731 --> 01:06:30,733
developments fair share and establish development impact

827
01:06:30,733 --> 01:06:34,333
fees to fund the future infrastructure.

828
01:06:34,470 --> 01:06:37,339
development impact fees are a one-time fee under the

829
01:06:37,339 --> 01:06:40,339
mitigation fee act, assembly bill 1600.

830
01:06:40,676 --> 01:06:42,811
they must fund capital imprudence only.

831
01:06:42,811 --> 01:06:46,416
they cannot send any maintenance, salaries, or

832
01:06:46,416 --> 01:06:49,152
existing deficiencies, and this requires that we show a clear

833
01:06:49,152 --> 01:06:52,880
link between the fee and the improvement, and we track those

834
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,491
separately by category in separate funds.

835
01:06:55,491 --> 01:06:58,494
development impact fees are calculated by taking the project

836
01:06:58,494 --> 01:07:03,633
costs attributed to new development and divide that by

837
01:07:03,633 --> 01:07:08,171
the units of new development. The fees vary by residential or

838
01:07:08,171 --> 01:07:11,771
nonresidential, and by specific infrastructure categories

839
01:07:11,908 --> 01:07:17,308
associated with the seven master plan as I before.

840
01:07:21,384 --> 01:07:22,452
this map of the city shows the 3c areas in the city.

841
01:07:22,452 --> 01:07:25,120
the light blue is the core fee area, in the dark blue is the

842
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:28,590
master plan fee area. The nexus studies we are talking

843
01:07:28,590 --> 01:07:35,790
about this evening or in the dark blue areas on that map.

844
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,400
in 2022 we did adopt an update to the recreation and trails

845
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:46,420
master plan and in 2024 we adopted the water and public

846
01:07:46,420 --> 01:07:49,412
safety and public master plans. Since then we have been working

847
01:07:49,412 --> 01:07:53,182
on these nexus studies. We have had key updates in this

848
01:07:53,182 --> 01:07:56,753
time period. One of these is in line,

849
01:07:56,753 --> 01:08:01,457
shifting the residential fees from the fee per nit two fee

850
01:08:01,457 --> 01:08:03,360
per square foot. We have decreased our rogram

851
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:09,360
management fee from 5% to 2.5%. We have seen some increases due

852
01:08:09,966 --> 01:08:14,766
to higher construction costs, updated facilities plans, and

853
01:08:16,105 --> 01:08:18,976
employees per square foot. Related to parks, we have broken

854
01:08:18,976 --> 01:08:27,376
up the fees into a separate fee and then they are now based on

855
01:08:31,187 --> 01:08:34,570
the previous 4 acres per 1000 residents.

856
01:08:34,570 --> 01:08:37,393
we have seen decreases in the water fee due to lower water

857
01:08:37,393 --> 01:08:42,793
demand and the $20 million recycled water branch, nd the

858
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:45,802
capacity fee is now being charged based on usage and meter

859
01:08:45,802 --> 01:08:50,539
size as opposed to acreage. In addition, we have multiple

860
01:08:50,539 --> 01:08:54,844
meetings with the building industry association and various

861
01:08:54,844 --> 01:08:58,693
developers to go over these fees and work with our outside

862
01:08:58,693 --> 01:09:03,832
counsel to make sure we have the most fair fees to present to you

863
01:09:03,832 --> 01:09:07,302
tonight. Our water fees are changing

864
01:09:07,302 --> 01:09:09,905
slightly. They are actually reducing,

865
01:09:09,905 --> 01:09:13,505
going from about $17,000 down to about $12,000.

866
01:09:15,510 --> 01:09:19,110
they are increasing, single-family residential per

867
01:09:22,184 --> 01:09:26,984
square now a little over $7 per square foot.

868
01:09:27,789 --> 01:09:31,393
for public safety facilities, these are all the facilities

869
01:09:31,393 --> 01:09:37,993
included in the master and being funded through the nexus study.

870
01:09:39,667 --> 01:09:45,667
these total out to about $98 million in costs and the

871
01:09:47,475 --> 01:09:54,750
cost is about $62 million. The safety fee is going up from

872
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:59,254
about $0.86 per square foot to $1.31 per square foot for single

873
01:09:59,254 --> 01:10:03,291
family residential, and for commercial about $670 per 1000

874
01:10:03,291 --> 01:10:07,491
suare feet to about $920 per 1000 square feet.

875
01:10:12,433 --> 01:10:14,970
the public facilities included in the master plan are listed

876
01:10:14,970 --> 01:10:19,770
here in this table. They total to about

877
01:10:19,974 --> 01:10:22,974
$241 million. The maximum attributable is

878
01:10:23,445 --> 01:10:27,449
about $128 million, but we are only funding about $101 million

879
01:10:27,449 --> 01:10:30,985
to the impact fee program because we do have some funding

880
01:10:30,985 --> 01:10:35,185
already identified. How that affects the public

881
01:10:35,590 --> 01:10:40,990
facilities fee, about $1.64 per square foot and increasing to

882
01:10:42,290 --> 01:10:46,229
$1.82 per square-foot. For commercial they were about

883
01:10:47,802 --> 01:10:52,602
$110 going up to about $358 per thousand square feet.

884
01:10:54,900 --> 01:11:00,115
these tables show comparison to other agencies, so we used a

885
01:11:00,115 --> 01:11:03,840
2600 square-foot prototype for single family residential.

886
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:07,488
as you see by this chart, the tracy existing fees are in

887
01:11:07,488 --> 01:11:11,393
orange, the proposed fees are in green, and neighboring cities

888
01:11:11,393 --> 01:11:14,562
are in blue. So ou will see that the

889
01:11:14,562 --> 01:11:16,899
proposed fees are slightly increasing overall for

890
01:11:16,899 --> 01:11:21,699
single-family residential unit, and below the median line.

891
01:11:21,836 --> 01:11:25,173
and then for multifamily residential you're using a 995

892
01:11:25,173 --> 01:11:27,108
square foot unit as a prototype. You will see that we are just

893
01:11:27,108 --> 01:11:32,947
over the median, and there is a slight decrease overall to the

894
01:11:32,947 --> 01:11:37,747
impact fees from the existing to the proposed.

895
01:11:40,822 --> 01:11:47,862
and then for commercial we do have our office, we are using

896
01:11:47,862 --> 01:11:52,662
per 1000 square feet. The feasibility median line, and

897
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,277
for commercial you can see the tracy proposed fees are actually

898
01:11:57,277 --> 01:12:03,277
less overall than the existing fees, and for industrial, same

899
01:12:03,817 --> 01:12:06,219
situation that the tracy existing fees are higher than

900
01:12:06,219 --> 01:12:11,624
what our new proposed fees are. I'm happy to answer any

901
01:12:11,624 --> 01:12:15,895
questions you may have. I also have atomized it in the

902
01:12:15,895 --> 01:12:18,831
audience, one of the consultants that's been working on this, and

903
01:12:18,831 --> 01:12:22,668
he'll be here to help answer any questions you might have.

904
01:12:22,668 --> 01:12:24,104
thank you. >> thank you.

905
01:12:24,104 --> 01:12:27,507
does council have any peeling merry questions?

906
01:12:27,507 --> 01:12:29,709
mayor pro tem? > thank you very much.

907
01:12:29,709 --> 01:12:33,246
great report. It was one outstanding issue

908
01:12:33,246 --> 01:12:37,583
that you said you had, got that resolves?

909
01:12:37,583 --> 01:12:41,530
>> we did get that resolved. We had another conversation with

910
01:12:41,530 --> 01:12:45,558
them and they agree with the fees as they are presented

911
01:12:45,558 --> 01:12:46,659
tonight. >> thank you very much.

912
01:12:46,659 --> 01:12:49,590
>> thank you. Councilmember victoria?

913
01:12:56,602 --> 01:12:57,937
>> I see a presentation that the proposed fee for a single family

914
01:12:57,937 --> 01:12:59,739
for 2026, it says $7.04 per square foot.

915
01:12:59,739 --> 01:13:04,744
I think in the actual nexus study -- I forget the publisher,

916
01:13:04,744 --> 01:13:08,130
sorry. I think it says it is $7.27.

917
01:13:08,130 --> 01:13:13,286
can I ask why it's different? Which one are we adopting today?

918
01:13:13,286 --> 01:13:16,622
>> we are adopting the $7.04 per square foot.

919
01:13:16,622 --> 01:13:20,895
we came to an agreement with the bia to o a slight reduction to

920
01:13:20,895 --> 01:13:23,630
the contingency related to the park.

921
01:13:23,630 --> 01:13:29,630
>> that clarifies, thank you. Sorry, I have one more question.

922
01:13:31,771 --> 01:13:37,644
for an average -- average doesn't matter, and for a new

923
01:13:37,644 --> 01:13:40,446
single-family home, what is the net change in impact fees after

924
01:13:40,446 --> 01:13:44,646
the water fee reductions we are seeing?

925
01:13:46,453 --> 01:13:50,530
the increases and the reduct reductions?

926
01:13:50,222 --> 01:13:52,125
out of all the increases and reductions they are seeing, what

927
01:13:52,125 --> 01:13:56,596
is the net change for a single family home?

928
01:13:56,596 --> 01:13:59,265
are fees going up? >> for a single-family home the

929
01:13:59,265 --> 01:14:01,535
fees are increasing slightly. The 2600 square-foot single

930
01:14:01,535 --> 01:14:07,535
family residential unit was at about $59,680 and it's going up

931
01:14:08,874 --> 01:14:11,874
slightly to be $63,354. >> thank you.

932
01:14:18,584 --> 01:14:20,687
>> thank you, councilmember. >> staff answered all my

933
01:14:20,687 --> 01:14:26,590
questions, so thank you. >> all right, we will go out for

934
01:14:26,590 --> 01:14:27,760
public comment. Would any members of the public

935
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:33,833
like to speak on item 5a related to the impact fee nexus studies?

936
01:14:33,833 --> 01:14:38,633
seeing one hand, we will allow for minutes.

937
01:14:39,339 --> 01:14:40,707
please proceed. >> mayor, it's a public hearing

938
01:14:40,707 --> 01:14:44,427
so we should -- >> my apologies, they are going

939
01:14:44,427 --> 01:14:48,270
to open the public hearing at 8:07.

940
01:14:56,205 --> 01:15:00,211
>> I don't understand, do we have $20 million coming in for

941
01:15:00,211 --> 01:15:04,140
the library? Because I on't need that much

942
01:15:04,140 --> 01:15:07,550
to do what I need t the library, and I might not have to

943
01:15:07,550 --> 01:15:13,489
beg and borrow from you guys. Is that what I'm seeing here?

944
01:15:13,489 --> 01:15:16,759
that's my question. And if I could get that answered

945
01:15:16,759 --> 01:15:21,960
by staff, that would be nice. Thank you.

946
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:24,960
>> thank you. Next speaker please.

947
01:15:34,643 --> 01:15:40,643
>> I just have one question. When your public safety fees

948
01:15:41,500 --> 01:15:43,386
comparison shows everyone going up except industrial, why is

949
01:15:43,386 --> 01:15:48,786
industrial going down? They take as much ublic safety

950
01:15:49,291 --> 01:15:54,263
as anywhere else. You would think that either they

951
01:15:54,263 --> 01:15:58,867
stay even or they go up just like everyone else.

952
01:15:58,867 --> 01:16:04,640
and that is under the public safety fee comparison sheet.

953
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:11,814
it's only a minor drop, but it is dropping, and they take as

954
01:16:11,814 --> 01:16:16,185
much safety as everything else. So if you could answer that

955
01:16:16,185 --> 01:16:18,887
question, that would be great. >> thank you, mr. Tanner.

956
01:16:18,887 --> 01:16:23,260
do they have any additional speakers on this item?

957
01:16:23,260 --> 01:16:26,228
okay, do we have any speakers on line?

958
01:16:26,228 --> 01:16:28,164
>> no, mayor. No speakers online.

959
01:16:28,164 --> 01:16:31,300
>> with that we will close at public comment and close the

960
01:16:31,300 --> 01:16:34,904
public hearing for item 5a. Staff, I would like to get

961
01:16:34,904 --> 01:16:38,907
responses to the questions related to the library fees and

962
01:16:38,907 --> 01:16:43,107
public safety fees in the industrial category.

963
01:16:44,313 --> 01:16:47,383
>> yes, that is correct. The cost estimate for the tracy

964
01:16:47,383 --> 01:16:52,183
library is $27 million. The costs attributable to the

965
01:16:52,588 --> 01:16:56,459
fee program is $20 million. So we would be collecting from

966
01:16:56,459 --> 01:17:01,259
new development about $20 million to fund the library.

967
01:17:01,431 --> 01:17:03,465
and for industrial, I believe the fees are going down because

968
01:17:03,465 --> 01:17:08,604
the assumptions of the number of people per thousand square feet

969
01:17:08,604 --> 01:17:11,274
in industrial building has gone down.

970
01:17:11,274 --> 01:17:14,100
>> thank you. Do you have any additional

971
01:17:14,100 --> 01:17:17,413
questions, discussion, or entertain a motion?

972
01:17:17,413 --> 01:17:22,840
>> I make a motion to adopt a resolution adopting the public

973
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,421
facilities nexus study and associated public facilities

974
01:17:25,421 --> 01:17:30,326

984
01:18:10,273 --> 01:18:14,477
>> we have a first and a second. Councilmember bedolla, did you

985
01:18:14,477 --> 01:18:16,345
have a comment? >> quick question, I wanted to

986
01:18:16,345 --> 01:18:22,345
check in with staff. The lowering of the parks fee,

987
01:18:22,351 --> 01:18:28,580
that happened kind of recently. If we improve, with staff still

988
01:18:28,580 --> 01:18:32,280
say that new development is paying for their fair share of

989
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,280

it is scheduled for september 23rd through septembe.

1019
01:20:19,636 --> 01:20:25,360
as you know, cal cities advocates on important issues.

1020
01:20:26,927 --> 01:20:29,997
their advocacy teams work with regional field staff and

1021
01:20:29,997 --> 01:20:34,301
lawmakers to sponsor, draft, and support legislative and

1022
01:20:34,301 --> 01:20:38,973
regulatory measures that promote local decision-making and lobby

1023
01:20:38,973 --> 01:20:42,573
against policies that erode local control.

1024
01:20:42,743 --> 01:20:46,646
an important part of the annual conference and expo is the

1025
01:20:46,646 --> 01:20:52,219
general assembly meeting to be held on friday, september 25th.

1026

a this meeting, cal cities membership considers and acts on

1027
01:20:56,689 --> 01:20:59,126
resolutions that establish cal cities policy.

1028
01:20:59,126 --> 01:21:03,997
in order to expedite the conduct of business at this policymaking

1029
01:21:03,997 --> 01:21:07,668
meeting, each city council is required to designate a voting

1030
01:21:07,668 --> 01:21:11,805
delegate and up to two alternates who are registered

1031
01:21:11,805 --> 01:21:15,242
for and attend the annual conference and general assembly

1032
01:21:15,242 --> 01:21:17,770
meeting. A voting card will be given to

1033
01:21:17,770 --> 01:21:22,477
the city official designated on the voting delegate form.

1034
01:21:22,950 --> 01:21:25,986
cal cities has requested to receive the names of the

1035
01:21:25,986 --> 01:21:30,186
delegates prior to attendance at the conference.

1036
01:21:30,824 --> 01:21:35,950
as council is aware, the cal cities annual conference

1037
01:21:35,950 --> 01:21:37,630
resolutions process is one way that the city officials can

1038
01:21:37,630 --> 01:21:39,968
directly participate in the development of cal cities

1039
01:21:39,968 --> 01:21:42,569
policy. The deadline to submit

1040
01:21:42,569 --> 01:21:46,169
resolutions this year was july 25th.

1041
01:21:47,241 --> 01:21:49,276
this year cal cities has reported receiving one

1042
01:21:49,276 --> 01:21:53,580
resolution to be considered at the general assembly meeting in

1043
01:21:53,580 --> 01:21:55,450
advance. Attachment b of the staff report

1044
01:21:55,450 --> 01:22:00,850
contained the general resolution submitted by the city of

1045
01:22:01,221 --> 01:22:05,793
marietta and eight letters of concurrence for the city of

1046
01:22:05,793 --> 01:22:10,330
murrietta submission, and the general resolution text and its

1047
01:22:10,330 --> 01:22:13,930
implications. The general resolution and cal

1048
01:22:14,601 --> 01:22:18,906
cities analysis site multiple laws passed by the state

1049
01:22:18,906 --> 01:22:22,276
legislature, mandating various restrictions or reporting

1050
01:22:22,276 --> 01:22:26,476
requirements upon local agencies and elected officials.

1051
01:22:27,481 --> 01:22:29,550
however, these laws included exclusions for the state

1052
01:22:29,550 --> 01:22:32,550
legislature and for state agencies.

1053
01:22:33,754 --> 01:22:35,155
he city supports policit promote local authority and

1054
01:22:35,155 --> 01:22:39,955
flexibility for local governments to be responsive and

1055
01:22:40,828 --> 01:22:43,228
transparent to their constituencies.

1056
01:22:43,363 --> 01:22:45,900
the city policies also do not support unfunded mandates which

1057
01:22:45,900 --> 01:22:50,704
are often imposed on the cities not on the state.

1058
01:22:50,704 --> 01:22:54,107
however, it is not clear what impact this resolution would

1059
01:22:54,107 --> 01:22:57,707
have on influencing the state legislature.

1060
01:22:57,778 --> 01:23:01,448
there is no anticipated fiscal impact associated with this

1061
01:23:01,448 --> 01:23:05,318
action and this agenda item supports governance strategic

1062
01:23:05,318 --> 01:23:10,118
goal number one to model good government, governance,

1063
01:23:10,691 --> 01:23:12,359
teamwork, and transparency. Staff recommends that the

1064
01:23:12,359 --> 01:23:15,829
city council take the following actions this evening with regard

1065
01:23:15,829 --> 01:23:19,973
to the league of california cities 2026 annual conference

01:23:19,973 --> 01:23:22,973

1067
01:23:24,144 --> 01:23:27,480
first, by motion, designate a voting delegate and up to two

1068
01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:29,950

01:23:51,672 --> 01:23:54,908
action for the 2026 annual conference and expo

1075
01:23:54,908 --> 01:23:56,309
general assembly meeting. This concludes my report and

1076
01:23:56,309 --> 01:23:59,909
staff is available for questi questions.

1077
01:24:01,448 --> 01:24:04,384
>> quick question, who from council will be attending the

1078
01:24:04,384 --> 01:24:06,786

1080
01:24:20,734 --> 01:24:24,539
analyst, and the city attorney and daniel green, the assistant

1081
01:24:24,539 --> 01:24:26,939
city ttorney. >> thank you.

1082
01:24:29,943 --> 01:24:33,543
do you have any preliminary questions?

1083
01:24:34,213 --> 01:24:36,416
>> thank you. Is it possible for council

1084
01:24:36,416 --> 01:24:40,954
embers to sign up to go or is it closed off?

1085
01:24:40,954 --> 01:24:43,623
>> I would have to check. But it usually does -- we can

1086
01:24:43,623 --> 01:24:48,423
check for you. >> are you interested if it's

1087
01:24:49,663 --> 01:24:51,231
available? >> I have something to change.

1088
01:24:51,231 --> 01:24:53,231
>> anybody else? Okay.

1089
01:24:58,105 --> 01:25:02,241
just for my questions, with regard to the general resolu

1090
01:25:02,241 --> 01:25:04,845
resolution, I just want to confirm that our city policy is

1091
01:25:04,845 --> 01:25:10,751
such that we would be supporting local control, opposing unfunded

1092
01:25:10,751 --> 01:25:14,654
mandates and anything in which the legislature has excluded

1093
01:25:14,654 --> 01:25:18,254
from requirements placed upon local governments.

1094
01:25:18,491 --> 01:25:24,491
his head in with our olicies? >> arturo sanchez, city manager.

1095
01:25:25,231 --> 01:25:27,135
those three items as described by the mayor ended the

1096
01:25:27,135 --> 01:25:31,471
resolution would be consistent wth our local policies, yes,

1097
01:25:31,471 --> 01:25:32,406
sir. >> thank you, mr. Sanchez.

1098
01:25:32,406 --> 01:25:37,100
that is also what I would be proposing that we support.

1099
01:25:37,100 --> 01:25:41,481
will got to the public for this item, 6a related to the

1100
01:25:41,481 --> 01:25:43,650
cal cities annual conference. Are there any members of the

1101
01:25:43,650 --> 01:25:47,888
public would like to speak on item 6a?

1102
01:25:47,888 --> 01:25:50,757
seeing that in chambers, do you have any on the line?

1103
01:25:50,757 --> 01:25:54,895
>> no speakers online. >> with that will close out

1104
01:25:54,895 --> 01:26:01,495
public comment for item 6a. You're welcome to join, as well.

1105
01:26:05,390 --> 01:26:11,730
my only concern is that I have a 2:00 p.m. Flight and sometimes

1106
01:26:11,730 --> 01:26:13,650
these resolutions begin around noon.

1107
01:26:13,650 --> 01:26:19,665
sometimes they run late. Can staff to have been if become

1108
01:26:22,407 --> 01:26:25,676
unavailable? >> we have later flights so if

1109
01:26:25,676 --> 01:26:31,760
you would like to designate us as an alternate.

1110
01:26:32,283 --> 01:26:38,883
>> I moved to designate myself as a voting delegate, and if

1111
01:26:39,958 --> 01:26:43,694
councilmember bedolla has a delegate or her designee is a

1112
01:26:43,694 --> 01:26:47,294
second delegate for the annual conference.

1113
01:26:51,369 --> 01:26:54,873
>> I have a second from councilmember evans.

1114
01:26:54,873 --> 01:26:57,743
is that okay with you? >> I believe we can resolve the

1115
01:26:57,743 --> 01:27:01,847
issue whether or not there is space for councilmember bedolla

1116
01:27:01,847 --> 01:27:02,781
probably by tomorrow. To be can turn in the

1117
01:27:02,781 --> 01:27:08,654
appropriate names in that. >> we have a first and a second

1118
01:27:08,654 --> 01:27:11,654

>> yes. >> thank you.

1124
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,772
was there any council opposition to the policies I briefly

1125
01:27:26,772 --> 01:27:30,341
discussed with staff earlier? With that I would move my motion

1126
01:27:30,341 --> 01:27:35,741
to authorize whichever appointed delegate to vote under the

1127
01:27:35,981 --> 01:27:39,551
conditions of supporting local control opposing unfunded

1128
01:27:39,551 --> 01:27:42,220
mandates, opposing anything in which state legislature is

1129
01:27:42,220 --> 01:27:45,623
excluded from the authority of local government.

1130
01:27:45,623 --> 01:27:46,558
>> second. >> we have a first and a second

1131
01:27:46,558 --> 01:27:48,726

>> yes. >> thank you.

1137
01:28:04,976 --> 01:28:09,981
and is the third motion separate than the first motion?

1138
01:28:09,981 --> 01:28:15,119
I would move to adopt a resolution, with the previously

1139
01:28:15,119 --> 01:28:18,523
designated voting delegates as the alternate voting delegates

1140
01:28:18,523 --> 01:28:21,726
to the league of california cities annual conference.

1141
01:28:21,726 --> 01:28:22,662

>> yes. >> all right, the item passes.

1148
01:28:36,474 --> 01:28:38,276
thank you to everyone. I look forward to seeing you all

1149
01:28:38,276 --> 01:28:44,276
at the annual conference. That brings us to item 6b

1150
01:28:44,882 --> 01:28:48,482
regarding council compensation. Staff report, please.

1151
01:28:49,821 --> 01:28:53,491
>> thank you, mayor and council. May I have the powerpoint,

1152
01:28:53,491 --> 01:28:55,491
please? Thank you.

1153
01:29:07,514 --> 01:29:11,184
sara castro, assistant city manager presenting this item for

1154
01:29:11,184 --> 01:29:12,586
you tonight. The item before you is a routine

1155
01:29:12,586 --> 01:29:16,570
item that we bring every other year.

1156
01:29:16,570 --> 01:29:20,660
a little bit of background on the city council and treasurers

1157
01:29:20,660 --> 01:29:24,865
compensation, the city council code of conduct states that the

1158
01:29:24,865 --> 01:29:28,101
mayor and council salaries should be reviewed every two

1159
01:29:28,101 --> 01:29:34,101
years, and the treasury salary is at the same time.

1160
01:29:35,542 --> 01:29:38,879
we follow the approved compensation increases to go

1161
01:29:38,879 --> 01:29:41,281
into effect for our next mayor and council.

1162
01:29:41,281 --> 01:29:45,685
in this case, any approved compensation increase would go

1163
01:29:45,685 --> 01:29:51,850
into effect january 1 of 2027. Current salaries are set by

1164
01:29:52,158 --> 01:29:55,758
ordinance 1351 on october the 15th of 2024.

1165
01:30:02,903 --> 01:30:06,503
all of those became effective january 1, 2025.

1166
01:30:07,107 --> 01:30:11,311
the chart below shows the current salaries for mayor,

1167
01:30:11,311 --> 01:30:17,311
council members, and treasurer. >> I'm going to briefly go over

1168
01:30:17,984 --> 01:30:19,520
some rules around council compensation.

1169
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:25,520
this is set by ordinance. There were some amendments to

1170
01:30:26,580 --> 01:30:29,658
the government code 36516 around the compensation.

1171
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:36,136
it's based upon population size. The city of tracy falls into the

1172
01:30:36,136 --> 01:30:41,474
range of over 75 but up to and including 150,000 in population,

1173
01:30:41,474 --> 01:30:46,146
which allows for a maximum compensation of $1900 per

1174
01:30:46,146 --> 01:30:48,749
month. That same government code

1175
01:30:48,749 --> 01:30:52,850
section also allows for an additional maximum of $150 per

1176
01:30:52,850 --> 01:30:56,885
month for each commission, committee, board, or similar

1177
01:30:57,257 --> 01:30:58,224
authority. It also authorizes compensation

1178
01:30:58,224 --> 01:31:04,970
in addition to the base for the mayor also approved by ordinance

1179
01:31:04,970 --> 01:31:06,567
and that is currently set at $200.

1180
01:31:06,567 --> 01:31:11,367
further increases to compensation can be allowed by

1181
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:16,510
either one of the following, 5%, up to 5% for each calendar year

1182
01:31:16,510 --> 01:31:21,748
from the date of the last increase, or an amount that is

1183
01:31:21,748 --> 01:31:26,548
equal to cumulative inflation since january 1 of 2024, based

1184
01:31:26,653 --> 01:31:30,570
on the consumer price index for california.

1185
01:31:30,570 --> 01:31:31,592
it cannot exceed 10% for each calendar year.

1186
01:31:31,592 --> 01:31:38,192
we have done the calculation on this and the cumulative increase

1187
01:31:38,565 --> 01:31:42,202
would be 7.75%. Some other quick rules around

1188
01:31:42,202 --> 01:31:46,606
the city treasurers compensa compensation, this is set up

1189
01:31:46,606 --> 01:31:49,275
differently. This is set by council

1190
01:31:49,275 --> 01:31:52,746
resolution and the government code does not set a maximum

1191
01:31:52,746 --> 01:31:55,670
monthly compensation for elected city treasurers.

1192
01:31:55,670 --> 01:31:59,138
this allows the city council the discussion on the amount of

1193
01:31:59,138 --> 01:32:01,574
salary for treasurer. Although the salary has

1194
01:32:01,574 --> 01:32:05,477
historically been set to align the city council.

1195
01:32:05,477 --> 01:32:10,877
taking a quick look at the maximum allowable salary

1196
01:32:11,116 --> 01:32:15,540
increase, the left side hows the current salaries it became

1197
01:32:15,540 --> 01:32:18,654
effective january 1, 2025. $1900 for the city council,

1198
01:32:20,526 --> 01:32:25,297
$2100 for the ayor, in $1900 for the city treasurer.

1199
01:32:25,297 --> 01:32:28,600
using the maximum allowable increase from the information I

1200
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:35,200
shared on the slide before would allow up to 5% per calendar

1201
01:32:35,474 --> 01:32:41,800
year, showing the amount for each year would take that

1202
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:45,880
maximum allowable increase of salary up to $2090 for

1203
01:32:47,853 --> 01:32:50,156
city council and $2290 for the mayor.

1204
01:32:50,156 --> 01:32:52,826
and there's no percentage applicable to the city

1205
01:32:52,826 --> 01:32:56,228
treasurer. When we look at the total

1206
01:32:56,228 --> 01:33:01,280
increase, that would ake city council up to 25,080

1207
01:33:02,468 --> 01:33:07,840
annually and the married $27,480 annually if council were to

1208
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:12,640
choose to amend the salaries to the maximum.

1209
01:33:12,845 --> 01:33:17,850
so with this item I am requesting some direction from

1210
01:33:17,850 --> 01:33:19,785
the council. Should we amend the mayor and

1211
01:33:19,785 --> 01:33:26,580
city council monthly salary? If so, by what amount up to the

1212
01:33:26,580 --> 01:33:29,728
maximum allowable of 10%? And also should the city

1213
01:33:29,728 --> 01:33:35,000
treasurer monthly salary be increased, and if so, what

1214
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:37,469
amount? And if council provides

1215
01:33:37,469 --> 01:33:40,873
direction on that salary increase, staff will return with

1216
01:33:40,873 --> 01:33:42,700
the ordinance and the resolutions appropriate at a

1217
01:33:42,700 --> 01:33:47,980
future meeting date, and again any salary increase would become

1218
01:33:47,980 --> 01:33:52,180
effective january 12027. This concludes my staff report.

1219
01:33:53,850 --> 01:33:56,688
thank you. >> did he have any preliminary

1220
01:33:56,688 --> 01:34:00,288
questions? >> just to confirm, although we

1221
01:34:00,692 --> 01:34:08,634
are allowed, we do not get any eight -- I just want to make it

1222
01:34:08,634 --> 01:34:12,170
clear, we don't get compensation for the commissions we serve on?

1223
01:34:12,170 --> 01:34:15,374
>> that is correct. It's just a monthly salary.

1224
01:34:15,374 --> 01:34:18,911
>> right. Secondly, if we don't do

1225
01:34:18,911 --> 01:34:22,480
anything, we can vote tonight to say we just want to stay where

1226
01:34:22,480 --> 01:34:25,650
we're at and next time you don't have to bring anything back.

1227
01:34:25,650 --> 01:34:28,650
>> you are correct. >> thank you.

1228
01:34:30,456 --> 01:34:37,560
>> any questions on the side? I wanted to confirm, have we

1229
01:34:38,230 --> 01:34:44,300
calculated with the total annual salary would be for the second

1230
01:34:44,300 --> 01:34:47,300
compensation category for cumulative inflation?

1231
01:34:51,219 --> 01:34:55,419
>> on the cumulative inflation, that would be 7.75%.

1232
01:34:57,250 --> 01:35:02,296
>> do you have umbers or based on the percentage?

1233
01:35:02,296 --> 01:35:06,496
>> I did the calculation probably last month.

1234
01:35:07,168 --> 01:35:09,370
>> understood. That answers our questions.

1235
01:35:09,370 --> 01:35:12,730
I'm going to go out for public comment on this item.

1236
01:35:12,730 --> 01:35:16,873
would anyone like to speak on item 6b?

1237
01:35:17,512 --> 01:35:19,847
I see three hands. We will allow 4 minutes for

1238
01:35:19,847 --> 01:35:27,470
whoever would like to start. >> I want to take this time to

1239
01:35:33,594 --> 01:35:37,532
thank all of you for the job that you do.

1240
01:35:37,532 --> 01:35:40,680
I'm very impressed with the fact that you always make sure that

1241
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:46,841
we are on budget, and I believe in budgets, and I believed in

1242
01:35:46,841 --> 01:35:48,142
responsibility. But I also believe in paying for

1243
01:35:48,142 --> 01:35:54,742
what you get, and that I personally would prefer that you

1244
01:35:55,550 --> 01:35:58,685
take the maximum increase. I think you deserve it, nd I

1245
01:35:58,685 --> 01:36:03,157
think that's what we should do. Thank you.

1246
01:36:03,157 --> 01:36:06,157
>> thank you. Next speaker, please.

1247
01:36:16,771 --> 01:36:21,943
>> I'm not sure what you're getting paid for now as it is.

1248
01:36:21,943 --> 01:36:26,748
in '24, when I asked the question what city council does,

1249
01:36:26,748 --> 01:36:28,516
where's the grants, nancy young came unglued and was going all

1250
01:36:28,516 --> 01:36:32,586
over the place. They finally provided, after

1251
01:36:32,586 --> 01:36:39,186
several meetings, a list of all grants that the city receives,

1252
01:36:39,460 --> 01:36:43,898
both the city, fire, and police. Both fire and police have their

1253
01:36:43,898 --> 01:36:47,568
own grant writers. I don't know what the city has,

1254
01:36:47,568 --> 01:36:50,738
I assume they do. But if the city council is

1255
01:36:50,738 --> 01:36:53,700
earning their money, they would find where the grants are and

1256
01:36:53,700 --> 01:36:56,760
start suggesting that the city apply for them.

1257
01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:00,348
but I haven't heard of anything of what you guys are doing.

1258
01:37:00,348 --> 01:37:07,548
so I would think that salary should be flat and you can't

1259
01:37:09,156 --> 01:37:12,756
touch it until after the elections.

1260
01:37:13,795 --> 01:37:17,698
so whatever is in '26 is really going to help.

1261
01:37:17,698 --> 01:37:23,970
but some of you are going to be gone one way or another.

1262
01:37:23,970 --> 01:37:27,642
what are you guys doing? What grants are you providing

1263
01:37:27,642 --> 01:37:34,248
the city to try and get? I would like to see a list of

1264
01:37:34,248 --> 01:37:40,273
any and all grants that the city has obtained or is in the

1265
01:37:40,273 --> 01:37:45,312
process of obtaining. That would show what the worth

1266
01:37:45,312 --> 01:37:48,548
is of the city council along with everything else going on.

1267
01:37:48,548 --> 01:37:52,748
but we haven't seen it since '24.

1268
01:37:54,488 --> 01:37:57,900
no one is telling us what's going on.

1269
01:37:57,900 --> 01:38:00,360
every once in while the police get a grant for flock or

1270
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:03,430
something else and we know that's happening, or the fire

1271
01:38:03,430 --> 01:38:07,968
department get something that their ambulance, we know that's

1272
01:38:07,968 --> 01:38:10,700
happening. But what's happening with the

1273
01:38:10,700 --> 01:38:11,105
city? What kind of grants are they

1274
01:38:11,105 --> 01:38:15,308
trying to get a hold of and what have they obtained?

1275
01:38:15,308 --> 01:38:18,908
haven't heard. Start earning your money.

1276
01:38:22,115 --> 01:38:26,315
>> thank you, mr. Tanner. Next speaker, please.

1277
01:38:39,265 --> 01:38:44,665
>> I think everybody deserves a raise, but the government's

1278
01:38:47,740 --> 01:38:53,800
stepped forward and said that the senior citizens that are on

1279
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:58,686
social security get this little raise and then everybody else is

1280
01:38:58,686 --> 01:39:03,230
entitled to this big raise. Let's start a movement right

1281
01:39:03,230 --> 01:39:09,623
here and let's lock the city council rate into the exact

1282
01:39:10,864 --> 01:39:13,133
same saying that social security gets.

1283
01:39:13,133 --> 01:39:18,238
I think that would be fair. And maybe if you start that,

1284
01:39:18,238 --> 01:39:24,440
then another city would do it, and we have this big movement

1285
01:39:24,440 --> 01:39:29,444
and government will actually perform better because they need

1286
01:39:30,784 --> 01:39:37,384
to make the economics work so they can get there bigger

1287
01:39:38,125 --> 01:39:40,940
raises. If we lock it to something that

1288
01:39:40,940 --> 01:39:45,199
is already there, it might work. So I'm telling you, lock your

1289
01:39:45,199 --> 01:39:50,537
raise to 3% for this year. That's where mine was locked.

1290
01:39:50,537 --> 01:39:52,672
thank you. >> thank you.

1291
01:39:52,672 --> 01:39:55,720
next speaker. >> hello again.

1292
01:40:07,210 --> 01:40:13,930
I'm not great at winging it, but this -- this sounds like an

1293
01:40:13,930 --> 01:40:16,960
awkward one for you guys to vote on.

1294
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:18,632
sorry. I just want to make an

1295
01:40:18,632 --> 01:40:21,702
observation, which is I am a longtime worker, I just started

1296
01:40:21,702 --> 01:40:24,304
coming in person, but I've watched a lot of city council

1297
01:40:24,304 --> 01:40:27,307
meetings over the years and I feel like you all had been doing

1298
01:40:27,307 --> 01:40:31,487
a better job working together. When I walk downtown ic change

1299
01:40:31,487 --> 01:40:34,190
and I see you in the community, and I'm sure there's things

1300
01:40:34,190 --> 01:40:38,861
behind the scenes that you guys could be working more

1301
01:40:38,861 --> 01:40:42,132
collaboratively on. So I guess if you do vote this

1302
01:40:42,132 --> 01:40:48,700
in, just use it as your incentive to make sure you are

1303
01:40:48,700 --> 01:40:52,274
getting those potholes filled, take care of them feral cats,

1304
01:40:52,274 --> 01:40:54,744
what are the people bring to you, climate action plan.

1305
01:40:54,744 --> 01:41:00,160
keep up the good work. Do more and do what you feel is

1306
01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:02,160
right. Thanks.

1307
01:41:03,185 --> 01:41:04,887
>> thank you. Do you have any additional

1308
01:41:04,887 --> 01:41:08,958
speakers on this item? Seeing nine in chambers, do you

1309
01:41:08,958 --> 01:41:11,828
have any online? >> no speakers online.

1310
01:41:11,828 --> 01:41:16,966
speak a little close public comment for item 6b and return

1311
01:41:16,966 --> 01:41:21,766
to council for discussion or entertain a motion.

1312
01:41:24,140 --> 01:41:25,109
council member evans? >> thank you, mayor.

1313
01:41:25,109 --> 01:41:29,379
I posed a raise two years ago and I'm going to oppose this

1314
01:41:29,379 --> 01:41:31,713
one. I like the idea of public

1315
01:41:31,713 --> 01:41:34,850
service being to represent the best interest of the community,

1316
01:41:34,850 --> 01:41:37,587
and I understand the arguments against that, but in the end I

1317
01:41:37,587 --> 01:41:42,910
don't want our constituents thinking that is why we are

1318
01:41:42,910 --> 01:41:44,127
here. I also really don't like the

1319
01:41:44,127 --> 01:41:48,230
idea of anybody being able to give themselves a raise.

1320
01:41:48,230 --> 01:41:51,434
it seems inherently wrong. In addition, money is finite,

1321
01:41:51,434 --> 01:41:54,870
the city only has so much, is only so much to go around.

1322
01:41:54,870 --> 01:41:57,840
whatever we take doesn't go into the roads, it doesn't go into

1323
01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:02,345
fixing the potholes or the parks, it doesn't go into public

1324
01:42:02,345 --> 01:42:04,713
safety. I'm just going to say I'm

1325
01:42:04,713 --> 01:42:08,913
opposed to any pay raises. Thank you.

1326
01:42:09,852 --> 01:42:11,754
>> thank you. Councilmember nygard?

1327
01:42:11,754 --> 01:42:13,689
>> thank you, mayor. I'm kind of neutral on this.

1328
01:42:13,689 --> 01:42:17,828
I didn't run for this position for money, either, but I will go

1329
01:42:17,828 --> 01:42:23,299
with the consensus of the dais because I do want to make sure

1330
01:42:23,299 --> 01:42:29,899
that we all feel we do hold some value up here.

1331
01:42:30,506 --> 01:42:36,380
I commend all of us this last 18 months, the collaboration we

1332
01:42:36,380 --> 01:42:41,918
have been able to have on this dais and the work you've been

1333
01:42:41,918 --> 01:42:45,922
able to accomplish, and I look forward to many more months

1334
01:42:45,922 --> 01:42:47,922
ahead. Thank you.

1335
01:42:48,570 --> 01:42:50,457
>> thank you, councilmember nygard.

1336
01:42:50,659 --> 01:42:53,129
>> thank you. I've supported what I call

1337
01:42:53,129 --> 01:42:54,996
correcting compensation two years ago.

1338
01:42:54,996 --> 01:42:57,667
I think it's currently fair. But going forward I think it'll

1339
01:42:57,667 --> 01:43:02,672
be a good idea to think about tying t to something objectives

1340
01:43:02,672 --> 01:43:05,672
like social security. Thank you.

1341
01:43:07,810 --> 01:43:10,446
>> mayor pro tem? >> as I previously stated, I

1342
01:43:10,446 --> 01:43:12,347
don't support -- I didn't sign up to et paid and I'm fine with

1343
01:43:12,347 --> 01:43:15,347
what I'm getting compensated with.

1344
01:43:15,884 --> 01:43:17,687
thank you. >> thank you.

1345
01:43:17,687 --> 01:43:20,556
as for my comments, I would be consistent with what I've said

1346
01:43:20,556 --> 01:43:23,546
in the past. I want to make sure we are

1347
01:43:23,546 --> 01:43:27,316
reducing barriers to articipate in local governance and I would

1348
01:43:27,316 --> 01:43:33,916


1349
01:43:35,230 --> 01:43:36,460
council, not for this one. We don't know who will be

1350
01:43:36,460 --> 01:43:42,164
sitting in the seats, so I would generally support some moderate

1351
01:43:42,164 --> 01:43:44,132
raise. I want to confirm, with regards

1352
01:43:44,132 --> 01:43:48,332
to the compensation category for cumulative inflation,

1353
01:43:50,272 --> 01:43:53,875
essentially the cola adjustm adjustments, ms. Castro, do you

1354
01:43:53,875 --> 01:43:58,130
have an answer for that? >> I believe the intent behind

1355
01:43:58,130 --> 01:44:02,985
this is to keep inflation at more of an inflationary

1356
01:44:02,985 --> 01:44:06,585
increase. But when you look cumulatively,

1357
01:44:08,257 --> 01:44:11,930
for two years, typically a lot of the cost-of-living increases,

1358
01:44:11,930 --> 01:44:15,197
as was entioned, are usually in the 3-4% range, that we are

1359
01:44:15,197 --> 01:44:20,597
looking cumulatively over that time, not just one 3% increase,

1360
01:44:21,170 --> 01:44:25,508
if that makes sense. It's a cumulative amount of

1361
01:44:25,508 --> 01:44:28,443
cost-of-living increase for two years.

1362
01:44:28,443 --> 01:44:32,430
>> just to confirm, 7.75% over two years?

1363
01:44:33,516 --> 01:44:35,516
>> that's right. >> okay.

1364
01:44:35,917 --> 01:44:39,155
with that, and similar to what councilmember bedolla was

1365
01:44:39,155 --> 01:44:41,560
saying, I would be comfortable attaching it with something, I

1366
01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:45,327
think would be fair to attach it to cola.

1367
01:44:45,327 --> 01:44:49,932
so I will go with the consensus as well, that I would be

1368
01:44:49,932 --> 01:44:54,732
supporting attaching it to a cumulative inflation basis.

1369
01:44:56,720 --> 01:44:59,141
any additional comment? Council member evans?

1370
01:44:59,141 --> 01:45:02,210
>> just thinking it through. I'm not opposed to the idea.

1371
01:45:02,210 --> 01:45:05,347
I'm opposed to an increase at this time.

1372
01:45:05,347 --> 01:45:09,547
the last increase percentagewise was very high.

1373
01:45:11,487 --> 01:45:14,823
I can't remember, somewhere in the neighborhood of 79-80%,

1374
01:45:14,823 --> 01:45:20,223
something like that. I don't mind that idea of

1375
01:45:20,629 --> 01:45:24,634
attaching it to something like cpi, because theoretically that

1376
01:45:24,634 --> 01:45:28,503
takes it out of ur hands, and that is one thing I stated that

1377
01:45:28,503 --> 01:45:33,275
I've never been comfortable with that idea of us giving ourselves

1378
01:45:33,275 --> 01:45:35,430
raises. So I guess if we attach it to

1379
01:45:35,430 --> 01:45:44,253
cpi, that would be -- is there a way to lock it in and keep that?

1380
01:45:44,253 --> 01:45:46,323
>> unfortunately no. It'll come back every two years

1381
01:45:46,323 --> 01:45:52,923
to have a discussion. >> for me, I think in the future

1382
01:45:55,864 --> 01:45:59,201
that would make sense. I think it's a good idea.

1383
01:45:59,201 --> 01:46:01,370
for me the salary is a little high for my taste.

1384
01:46:01,370 --> 01:46:06,542
I would say maybe in the future at some point I could support

1385
01:46:06,542 --> 01:46:10,142
it. >> this is for an informational

1386
01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:13,749
update, asking for a motion for direction today.

1387
01:46:13,749 --> 01:46:16,828
>> I'm seeking direction. If action were to be taken, it

1388
01:46:16,828 --> 01:46:21,165
would need to be taken with this council with the intent of

1389
01:46:21,165 --> 01:46:22,967
taking effect for the next council.

1390
01:46:22,967 --> 01:46:26,504
>> so you eed a specific motion team asked.

1391
01:46:26,504 --> 01:46:30,707
>> if possible, yes. >> if I made a motion to not be

1392
01:46:30,707 --> 01:46:32,377
one, that's what I would do right now.

1393
01:46:32,377 --> 01:46:36,347
would make a motion that we maintain the current salary as

1394
01:46:36,347 --> 01:46:39,947
they are. >> I would second that.

1395
01:46:41,986 --> 01:46:46,924
>> we have a irst and second. Roll call, please.

1396
01:46:46,924 --> 01:46:48,526
>> mayor pro tem abercrombie. >> yes.

1397
01:46:48,526 --> 01:46:49,527
>> councilmember bedolla. >> yes.

1398
01:46:49,527 --> 01:46:50,728
>> councilmember evans. >> yes.

1399
01:46:50,728 --> 01:46:51,896
>> councilmember nygard. >> yes.

1400
01:46:51,896 --> 01:46:53,896
>> mayor arriola. >> yes.

1401
01:46:57,534 --> 01:47:01,272
>> so that takes care of council compensation and that takes care

1402
01:47:01,272 --> 01:47:04,942
of our regular items. At this point we have items from

1403
01:47:04,942 --> 01:47:06,477
the audience. Would any members of the public

1404
01:47:06,477 --> 01:47:12,477
like to speak on an item not on tonight's agenda?

1405
01:47:15,190 --> 01:47:19,819
the time is yours. We will allow 4 minutes.

1406
01:47:31,769 --> 01:47:34,906
>> and finally I have the question.

1407
01:47:34,906 --> 01:47:37,375
the flashing warning light at the fire station on 11th street

1408
01:47:37,375 --> 01:47:41,575
had burned out, the lower left bulb.

1409
01:47:42,313 --> 01:47:48,186
I noticed it several weeks ago. My wife reported it and it was

1410
01:47:48,186 --> 01:47:52,323
fixed the next day. So obviously somebody thought

1411
01:47:52,323 --> 01:47:54,658
that it was something that needed to be fixed right away.

1412
01:47:54,658 --> 01:48:02,458
but the part that bothers me, why did it take a resident to

1413
01:48:03,100 --> 01:48:06,601
report his? Doesn't city employees and

1414
01:48:06,670 --> 01:48:09,600
police officers drive past it every day?

1415
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:13,144
so here's my question: are they not allowed to use 11th street?

1416
01:48:13,144 --> 01:48:16,814
because every vehicle has a radio and it.

1417
01:48:16,814 --> 01:48:22,200
it will be a very simple thing to call up and say, hey, I

1418
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:25,456
noticed this light is out, and it would've been taken care of

1419
01:48:25,456 --> 01:48:27,224
right away. No employee of the month for

1420
01:48:27,224 --> 01:48:32,960
this group of people. I would like to celebrate the

1421
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:37,502
staff that responds quickly, and let's be honest, it's not

1422
01:48:37,502 --> 01:48:44,102
working in our parks, so let's empower where required the city

1423
01:48:47,177 --> 01:48:50,314
employees to look for safety issues while they are working

1424
01:48:50,314 --> 01:48:54,514
and report them. Tracy city residents shouldn't

1425
01:48:54,986 --> 01:48:58,586
be the only ones reporting things.

1426
01:49:00,570 --> 01:49:07,217
and I would just like to say, as a city council, I think you guys

1427
01:49:07,217 --> 01:49:11,154
are great. I have watched some other

1428
01:49:11,154 --> 01:49:16,693
meetings online for other city councils and stuff, and there's

1429
01:49:16,693 --> 01:49:22,693
bickering, and we had bickering before, but you guys generally

1430
01:49:22,765 --> 01:49:27,904
take care of your business and listen to what people say, and

1431
01:49:27,904 --> 01:49:32,104
you should be appreciated by this town.

1432
01:49:32,709 --> 01:49:36,981
in my little blogs and stuff, I hope I haven't offended any of

1433
01:49:36,981 --> 01:49:45,381
you, but I try to put it out to where we actually see what's

1434
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:48,458
happening, and that the city council does get credit for

1435
01:49:48,458 --> 01:49:52,462
what they're doing. So I thank you for your jobs.

1436
01:49:52,462 --> 01:49:54,862
>> thank you. Next speaker.

1437
01:50:04,941 --> 01:50:05,942
seeing none in chambers, do you have any online?

1438
01:50:05,942 --> 01:50:07,144
>> no speakers on line. >> with that I will close out

1439
01:50:07,144 --> 01:50:11,347
items from the audience. That brings us to staff items.

1440
01:50:11,347 --> 01:50:14,684
>> good evening, city manager. I just have a couple of

1441
01:50:14,684 --> 01:50:16,820
announcements that went out over these last few weeks.

1442
01:50:16,820 --> 01:50:21,758
you may have seen sara castro has been selected to sell our

1443
01:50:21,758 --> 01:50:24,758
second assistant city manager role.

1444
01:50:26,430 --> 01:50:29,632
while she is new to the position, he is not new to the

1445
01:50:29,632 --> 01:50:32,102
ity. She's been in a couple of other

1446
01:50:32,102 --> 01:50:34,604
roles. Primarily senior and finance,

1447
01:50:34,604 --> 01:50:38,307
and she's in the finance director since 2022, and the

1448
01:50:38,307 --> 01:50:42,507
finance budget officer? Accounting manager prior to

1449
01:50:42,845 --> 01:50:46,445
that. She's got over 20 years of

1450
01:50:46,917 --> 01:50:50,454
experience in california local governments and we are excited

1451
01:50:50,454 --> 01:50:56,454
to welcome her upstairs to be part of our team.

1452
01:51:03,166 --> 01:51:04,134
timely, mr. Tanner, I'm glad he still here.

1453
01:51:04,134 --> 01:51:05,269
yesterday the text for assembly bill 113, the budget committee

1454
01:51:05,269 --> 01:51:07,400
bill, was released and it includes $5 million in proposed

1455
01:51:07,400 --> 01:51:10,140
funding for the city of tracy, this is for the state.

1456
01:51:10,140 --> 01:51:14,770
this includes $2 million for climate adapter tree planting,

1457
01:51:14,770 --> 01:51:16,880
$1 million for improved expansion of animal shelter and

1458
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:18,882
for the police department to update its communication

1459
01:51:18,882 --> 01:51:20,217
systems. Some of these things were

1460
01:51:20,217 --> 01:51:25,822
projects that you also saw at our legislative -- during our

1461
01:51:25,822 --> 01:51:28,358
legislative trip to washington, d.c., as also we

1462
01:51:28,358 --> 01:51:34,958
were stomping behind the scenes. The state budget has not yet

1463
01:51:35,332 --> 01:51:37,567
been awarded, but these would be a significant investment in our

1464
01:51:37,567 --> 01:51:41,380
community and we are very pleased to see tracy included in

1465
01:51:41,380 --> 01:51:44,507
these proposals. That's $5 million that we are

1466
01:51:44,507 --> 01:51:46,375
looking to hopefully be awarded in the coming months.

1467
01:51:46,375 --> 01:51:51,115
also I wanted to announce that we do currently has recruitment

1468
01:51:51,115 --> 01:51:54,510
open for our environmental sustainability community.

1469
01:51:54,510 --> 01:51:57,721
have a couple of vacant positions we are trying to for

1470
01:51:57,721 --> 01:51:59,464
that. If you know anybody wants to get

1471
01:51:59,464 --> 01:52:03,135
involved and be a part of it, please go to our website and you

1472
01:52:03,135 --> 01:52:08,535
will see the application and the process they are.

1473
01:52:09,730 --> 01:52:13,344
some updates at gretchen talley park, I don't know if you seen

1474
01:52:13,344 --> 01:52:17,810
the social media updates, it is pretty impressive, the phase

1475
01:52:17,810 --> 01:52:19,283
that is getting ready to come oline.

1476
01:52:19,283 --> 01:52:22,152
we completed some light testing at the park and excited to share

1477
01:52:22,152 --> 01:52:26,357
we are still on track for a fall opening.

1478
01:52:26,357 --> 01:52:30,761
it will feature four lighted pickleball courts, tennis

1479
01:52:30,761 --> 01:52:32,763
courts, and basketball courts giving our communities even more

1480
01:52:32,763 --> 01:52:34,899
opportunities to get outside and play.

1481
01:52:34,899 --> 01:52:37,168
it should come online as daylight savings time is going

1482
01:52:37,168 --> 01:52:42,273
into effect, and it will be getting darker earlier so we are

1483
01:52:42,273 --> 01:52:44,742
excited to announce it is opening in the fall.

1484
01:52:44,742 --> 01:52:48,746
sprouts farmers' market is having its grand opening this

1485
01:52:48,746 --> 01:52:53,718
friday at 6:45 a.m., so good to see a lot of you bright and

1486
01:52:53,718 --> 01:52:56,988
early. This is a great addition and we

1487
01:52:56,988 --> 01:53:02,460
know that many residents is whas wellare looking forward tom

1488
01:53:02,460 --> 01:53:05,163
opening their doors. That's all the announcements I

1489
01:53:05,163 --> 01:53:07,732
have for this evening. >> thank you.

1490
01:53:07,732 --> 01:53:11,403
that brings us to council items. You have any council items on

1491
01:53:11,403 --> 01:53:14,138
the side? Mayor pro tem?

1492
01:53:14,138 --> 01:53:17,675
>> I would like to get support for bringing back the nature

1493
01:53:17,675 --> 01:53:22,680
park just to get a better understanding of how many phases

1494
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:26,216
we are talking about, the bandwidth available to move

1495
01:53:26,216 --> 01:53:32,216
forward with that, what the overall costs are, just some

1496
01:53:34,358 --> 01:53:38,896
more -- I was unfortunately -- I thought when I saw it,

1497
01:53:38,896 --> 01:53:40,631
$8 million, I thought that covered the whole nature park.

1498
01:53:40,631 --> 01:53:44,501
I later found out that was just phase one.

1499
01:53:44,501 --> 01:53:49,107
sophie could get something done that clarification on

1500
01:53:49,107 --> 01:53:55,747
so if wecould get clarification, and if we have the track going e

1501
01:53:55,747 --> 01:53:57,114
staffing available to do that?

1502
01:53:57,114 --> 01:54:00,584
>> I will support that. >> and I will take a third on

1503
01:54:00,584 --> 01:54:04,255
that. >> so you want an update on the

1504
01:54:04,255 --> 01:54:06,655
nature park project? >> right.

1505
01:54:08,590 --> 01:54:12,329
how many phases we are talking about, the cost, do we have the

1506
01:54:12,329 --> 01:54:14,198
availability to move forward with essays one right now

1507
01:54:14,198 --> 01:54:18,669
because of staffing, all the other things they are doing,

1508
01:54:18,669 --> 01:54:22,272
more of an update, yes. Thank you.

1509
01:54:22,272 --> 01:54:27,720
>> councilmember bedolla? >> I want to add that the

1510
01:54:29,613 --> 01:54:32,349
climate adaptive treeplanting request is really good news for

1511
01:54:32,349 --> 01:54:36,153
tracy. I work directly with the ffice

1512
01:54:36,153 --> 01:54:38,756
on the city's two million-dollar requests I'm very glad to see

1513
01:54:38,756 --> 01:54:41,910
the full request included in the state budget bill.

1514
01:54:41,910 --> 01:54:44,600
there is still a process to finish, but this is exactly the

1515
01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:48,766
kind of outside funding we should be working with.

1516
01:54:48,766 --> 01:54:51,166
thank you. >> councilmember evans?

1517
01:54:51,586 --> 01:54:58,186
>> I wanted to bring it to staff and make a request.

1518
01:54:58,727 --> 01:55:00,728
mr. Dobie mentioned multiple people living in lincoln park

1519
01:55:00,728 --> 01:55:04,332
and that he's been requesting us to look at that for over a year.

1520
01:55:04,332 --> 01:55:10,472
given the amount of progress and effort that we have put into

1521
01:55:10,472 --> 01:55:13,800
ensuring that our parks are clean and safe, I want to

1522
01:55:13,800 --> 01:55:15,610
understand the full extent of what's going on.

1523
01:55:15,610 --> 01:55:20,749
I can take some time and walk out there with tracy pdf that's

1524
01:55:20,749 --> 01:55:23,685
what it takes. But I want to really understand,

1525
01:55:23,685 --> 01:55:27,155
we put a lot of effort into the park ordinance, spent a lot of

1526
01:55:27,155 --> 01:55:32,694
money and a lot of the public's money on a shelter, so I need to

1527
01:55:32,694 --> 01:55:35,290
understand, if that's happening, why it's appening, and what our

1528
01:55:35,290 --> 01:55:39,229
next steps are. I want to solution.

1529
01:55:43,839 --> 01:55:47,909
want a solution. It could be a staff report

1530
01:55:47,909 --> 01:55:50,712
brought to the council, or I would like to request time with

1531
01:55:50,712 --> 01:55:53,715
pd on site. >> I'm good with whatever

1532
01:55:53,715 --> 01:55:56,251
version it takes. >> I will support that.

1533
01:55:56,251 --> 01:55:58,453
>> thank you. Was that clear or does staff

1534
01:55:58,453 --> 01:56:02,530
need more? Under the constituent mentioned

1535
01:56:07,395 --> 01:56:10,932
halloween approaching and the intersection where the accident

1536
01:56:10,932 --> 01:56:15,132
occurred at val pico and tracy boulevard.

1537
01:56:16,137 --> 01:56:18,806
do we have something temporary coming for the halloween crowds

1538
01:56:18,806 --> 01:56:26,414
we are going to see out there? If this needs to be taken to a

1539
01:56:26,414 --> 01:56:28,282
report off-line, that's fine, too.

1540
01:56:28,282 --> 01:56:31,352
but I would like some comfort level.

1541
01:56:31,352 --> 01:56:35,890
>> councilmember evans, I would like to say there is an event

1542
01:56:35,890 --> 01:56:40,294
being planned, but I don't know if we have anybody from parks or

1543
01:56:40,294 --> 01:56:43,299
pd that is here. If not, I can provide an update

1544
01:56:43,299 --> 01:56:48,703
before halloween to make sure we know -- but I know that the

1545
01:56:48,703 --> 01:56:53,241
single light will not be installed before this october.

1546
01:56:53,241 --> 01:56:55,944
but I believe the light pole has been ordered, the design has

1547
01:56:55,944 --> 01:56:59,147
been done and the funding has been provided.

1548
01:56:59,147 --> 01:57:01,115
it's just the timing. >> I think the concern is what's

1549
01:57:01,115 --> 01:57:02,851
going to be done on a temporary basis for halloween.

1550
01:57:02,851 --> 01:57:06,388
I'm sure my colleagues would like that update as well.

1551
01:57:06,388 --> 01:57:09,691
if you could make that for all of us, I appreciate that.

1552
01:57:09,691 --> 01:57:12,590
other than that, had a great time at the veterans breakfast

1553
01:57:12,590 --> 01:57:14,529
on saturday. Lots of great events around the

1554
01:57:14,529 --> 01:57:17,265
city. There was a car show, so

1555
01:57:17,265 --> 01:57:23,538
hopefully folks are getting out there and enjoying all the great

1556
01:57:23,538 --> 01:57:25,741
things, concerts in the park, a lot of great things happening.

1557
01:57:25,741 --> 01:57:29,341
thanks, everybody. Have a great night.

1558
01:57:30,212 --> 01:57:32,880
>> councilmember nygard? >> thank you, mayor.

1559
01:57:32,880 --> 01:57:37,686
I would like to address the urban forest management plan.

1560
01:57:37,686 --> 01:57:43,240
I was on the environmental commission back in october of

1561
01:57:43,240 --> 01:57:46,600
2023 and this was actually approved at the commission.

1562
01:57:46,600 --> 01:57:52,707
I do not believe it has come back to staff, so I would like

1563
01:57:52,707 --> 01:57:59,907
to see if we could have it returned, support to have that

1564
01:58:00,810 --> 01:58:04,652
bought back, and to have the presentation so this council

1565
01:58:04,652 --> 01:58:09,457
will know what the urban forest management plan actually

1566
01:58:09,457 --> 01:58:11,857
curtails. >> I'll second that.

1567
01:58:13,127 --> 01:58:15,462
>> I will third. >> thank you very much.

1568
01:58:15,462 --> 01:58:21,680
also I just wanted to -- I attended this weekend the car

1569
01:58:21,680 --> 01:58:21,803
show. Congratulations to the

1570
01:58:21,803 --> 01:58:25,403
organizers of that event. Great attendance.

1571
01:58:26,273 --> 01:58:32,273
it was just packed. It was exciting to see the

1572
01:58:34,615 --> 01:58:38,815
festival flair come back. Everybody downtown, beautiful

1573
01:58:41,289 --> 01:58:43,558
weather, lots of families. Congratulations and kudos to the

1574
01:58:43,558 --> 01:58:48,930
organizers who put in for that. I want to bring an important

1575
01:58:48,930 --> 01:58:52,660
issue that is still prominent in our downtown streets as well as

1576
01:58:52,660 --> 01:58:55,836
I the city of tracy. I would really like to have a

1577
01:58:55,836 --> 01:59:00,307
consensus to have it brought back for discussion about our

1578
01:59:00,307 --> 01:59:02,443
electric bikes and scooters on our city streets.

1579
01:59:02,443 --> 01:59:09,216
I think it is time to just have a presentation maybe from pd and

1580
01:59:09,216 --> 01:59:16,570
what exactly are some of the dnv traffic rules in regards to the

1581
01:59:16,570 --> 01:59:18,860
evolving state of these electric cycles, because they are going

1582
01:59:18,860 --> 01:59:25,460
from bikes now to mopeds to even more powerful electric bikes.

1583
01:59:26,868 --> 01:59:32,268
actually, motorcycles. But a very continued use f our

1584
01:59:35,342 --> 01:59:40,347
sidewalks, and I feel that is an incredibly unsafe use of our

1585
01:59:40,347 --> 01:59:42,350
streets. So I would like to see if I

1586
01:59:42,350 --> 01:59:45,850
could have consensus to have this brought back as a

1587
01:59:45,850 --> 01:59:48,850
discussion item for street safety.

1588
01:59:50,558 --> 01:59:52,558
>> I'll second. >> third.

1589
01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:55,696
>> also, one of the items that we had in our consent calendar

1590
01:59:55,696 --> 02:00:00,435
was about stormwater basins, and I would really love to see if we

1591
02:00:00,435 --> 02:00:04,306
could bring this item back for discussion on how we could

1592
02:00:04,306 --> 02:00:10,906
actually have a discussion on, one, more multi-use of our storm

1593
02:00:13,713 --> 02:00:16,116
basins, possibly recreation areas, but more importantly how

1594
02:00:16,116 --> 02:00:22,116
we can capture that stormwater, possibly for maybe our purple

1595
02:00:22,858 --> 02:00:27,128
pipe. I think it would be a good

1596
02:00:27,128 --> 02:00:29,729
discussion to see what we could do to improve the use of our

1597
02:00:29,729 --> 02:00:31,729
storm basins. >> second.

1598
02:00:34,468 --> 02:00:37,468
>> third. >> thank you very much.

1599
02:00:39,742 --> 02:00:46,415
last, I loves interfaith and the diligent work they do to help

1600
02:00:46,415 --> 02:00:50,615
meet the food need in our community.

1601
02:00:52,822 --> 02:00:56,358
because of the track construction, they used ritter

1602
02:00:56,358 --> 02:01:01,798
park as they are receiving spa space, I think there are

1603
02:01:01,798 --> 02:01:06,402
hundreds of clients to go through on a daily basis.

1604
02:01:06,402 --> 02:01:12,400
they utilize the residential area to go across and to go to

1605
02:01:12,400 --> 02:01:13,510
parker. I live on that street and I've

1606
02:01:13,510 --> 02:01:20,710
had many of my neighbors come to say how cars are speeding.

1607
02:01:21,650 --> 02:01:29,450
we did have pd has a -- the traffic, where they easure your

1608
02:01:32,610 --> 02:01:34,997
speed. It was on there for quite a few

1609
02:01:34,997 --> 02:01:37,468
weeks and it did help curtail the speed, but I would really

1610
02:01:37,468 --> 02:01:41,437
like to get an update on how much longer we are going to

1611
02:01:41,437 --> 02:01:44,740
be -- it has been over a year. How much longer we are going to

1612
02:01:44,740 --> 02:01:51,274
be using that ritter park as the designated space, and then going

1613
02:01:51,980 --> 02:01:56,780
to parker and over to the interfaith facility.

1614
02:01:59,688 --> 02:02:03,260
I watch my elderly neighbor trying to back out of her

1615
02:02:03,260 --> 02:02:06,796
driveway the every day, and they just went around her and it

1616
02:02:06,796 --> 02:02:14,596
was really sad to watch. So it has gotten to be a little

1617
02:02:16,105 --> 02:02:19,776
unsafe and a little frustrating, because they do speed on that

1618
02:02:19,776 --> 02:02:22,712
small section. Like I said, it's a couple

1619
02:02:22,712 --> 02:02:25,648
hundred every single day, monday through thursday.

1620
02:02:25,648 --> 02:02:31,487
I just want to say, yes, I really enjoyed this weekend,

1621
02:02:31,487 --> 02:02:34,523
really great to see the rowds that have really enjoyed our

1622
02:02:34,523 --> 02:02:38,461
downtown. All I can say is fall is here.

1623
02:02:38,461 --> 02:02:45,401
we got the cool weather and the wind back, and I just really

1624
02:02:45,401 --> 02:02:52,241
thank the city for all they are doing and welcome back, midori,

1625
02:02:52,241 --> 02:02:57,120
from your vacation, and welcome, sara, into your new position.

1626
02:02:57,120 --> 02:02:59,682
>> thank you, councilmember. I will keep it brief.

1627
02:02:59,682 --> 02:03:01,818
thank you for all your work. Back from our vacations, let's

1628
02:03:01,818 --> 02:03:04,387
get back to work. I want to wish everyone a happy

1629
02:03:04,387 --> 02:03:06,622
labor day. I hope you have a long and safe

1630
02:03:06,622 --> 02:03:11,361
weekend and we will see you all at the next meeting.

1631
02:03:11,361 --> 02:03:13,629
>> moved to adjourn. >> second.

1632
02:03:13,629 --> 02:03:16,298
>> I heard a second from councilmember evans.

1633
02:03:16,298 --> 02:03:18,168
roll call, please. >> mayor pro tem abercrombie.

1634
02:03:18,168 --> 02:03:19,435
>> yes. >> councilmember evans.

1635
02:03:19,435 --> 02:03:20,836
>> yes. >> councilmember bedolla.

1636
02:03:20,836 --> 02:03:22,171
>> yes. >> councilmember nygard.

1637
02:03:22,171 --> 02:03:23,773
>> yes. >> mayor arriola.

1638
02:03:23,773 --> 02:03:27,973
>> yes. We are adjourned at 8:56 p.m.

1639
02:03:31,731 --> 02:03:33,332
good night, everyone. >> I forgot the whole reason I

1640
02:03:33,332 --> 02:03:35,332
came up here.
