about an exciting program that's going

to happen uh in a Moraga. who probably

49
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,720
heard about it already, but um we're

50
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,840
going to be um partnering with MOFD and

51
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,560

00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Landscape Station 42 on Maraga Road. Um

53
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,040
and we approved it uh the MOFD board

54
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,519
approved it on August 20th and we made a

55
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:06,560

56
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,200
um I'm here today just to let you know

57
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,959
about the project coming. I think it'll

58
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:12,480
be a great project and that's a very

59
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,639
visible location. Um we we made the the

60
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:18,880
formal presentation on August 20th and

61
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,639
it's available if you want to see it on

62
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:23,040

Um but if you would like us to come back

69
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,120
bit more about the program, we'd be

70
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,040
happy to do that. Um we're having our

71
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,759
first meeting on Friday um at the site.

72
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:44,000
We have a good group of local master

73
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,199
gardeners. Um and um we're also

74
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:49,919
partnering with uh some other groups. Uh

75
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:51,919
East Bay Mud has already told us that

76
00:04:51,919 --> 00:04:53,919
they're going to be interested in um

77
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:55,919
taking care of the irrigation there.

78
00:04:55,919 --> 00:04:57,199
They don't do the irrigation, but

79
00:04:57,199 --> 00:04:58,800
they'll be giving us some money

80
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,840
hopefully. Uh and MOFD did uh fund this

81
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:04,800
project for $5,000 to get us started.

82
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,320
Um, we're going to be going into the

83
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,720
community, um, local hardware stores,

84
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,680
nurseries, uh, and landscape suppliers

85
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,560
and asking them for donations as well.

86
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Um, and so, you know, I'm just here to

87
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,400
tell you about it and I I hope to come

88
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,479
back and maybe talk about it some more

89
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:22,320
with you. Um, I think it's going to be a

90
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,800
great project as a bunch of people who

91
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,880
are really excited about it. Uh, we've

92
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,360
spoken to, uh, the Moraga Garden Club as

93
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,240
well. uh they're interested though um

94
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,080
they don't know how much physical work

95
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,320
they can put in but certainly you know

96
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,320
picking out some weeds and things and I

97
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,600
just want to tell you one of the big

98
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,840
components in any UC master gardener

99
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:44,240
approved project which this is is an

100
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,160
educational component and that's how it

101
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,880
qualifies and so we will be doing um

102
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,280
educational classes out there um we have

103
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:52,960
to do them at least quarterly and so

104
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,120
we're going to do it at least quarterly

105
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,400
um which will be um to uh disseminate

106
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,360
information on um firewise gardening uh

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,000
firewise landscaping to to the public.

108
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,120
Um we hope to have um different types of

109
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,360
landscaping out there. Probably I'm

110
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,639
thinking about one um native plant area,

111
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:13,840
one that's probably going to be

112
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,680
Mediterranean and native plants and

113
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,919
maybe one mostly hardscape. And plus

114
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:19,840
we're going to showcase um different

115
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:22,560
types of like paving stones and perhaps

116
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,000
some uh nonwood uh gates uh on the

117
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,720
project as well. So, I'm just here to

118
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,319
tell you about it and uh you'll be

119
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:31,520
hearing more about it and hopefully

120
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,280
you'll you'll come by when you know when

121
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:36,880
we start going and and take a look. So,

122
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,960
>> town manager, may we try to schedule

123
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,080
that for a future meeting once uh a a

124
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,400
plan is is well enough to

125
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,600
>> you know how to get a hold of me. You

126
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,280
can get a hold of me and real quick

127
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:48,160
comment.

128
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,160
>> Yeah, comment question. Um, one thing

129
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,840
that, you know, I'm as a de diyer, I

130
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:59,680
tend to like watching YouTube clips to

131
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,840
show me how to do a variety of things

132
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:04,240
around my property. And I'm just

133
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,639
wondering if y'all had considered doing

134
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:10,240
either a YouTube clip or Tik Tok series

135
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,319
on the development of um this landscape

136
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:17,599
so that people could use it uh for tips

137
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:20,240
on how to make their uh their yards more

138
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,360
firewise.

139
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,800
>> Well, we're having our initial meeting

140
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,919
on Friday at the station uh with the

141
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:27,520
other master gardeners. I can bring it

142
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,560
up.

143
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,240
I'm probably not the techie guy to do

144
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,840
that, but maybe there's someone in our

145
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,400
group. Um, as master gardeners, I'll

146
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,720
just tell you that I have um I partner

147
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,960
with another person and we've made we've

148
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,599
spoken to um we started during the

149
00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:43,759
pandemic. So, we've probably made this

150
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:45,919
presentation to over 2,000 people right

151
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:48,639
now and we do home hardening and uh

152
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:50,400
firewise landscaping and so that's

153
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,280
available on the uh UC Master Gardener

154
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,440
YouTube station at all times. But that's

155
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,360
a good idea and I'll I'll bring it up on

156
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,120
Friday and see if see if there's any

157
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,160
interest.

158
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,919
>> Steve, thank you so much. And I would

159
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:04,800
also note to thank uh Steve Danzinger

160
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,080
here for as a long-term member of the

161
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,879
Moraga Rinda Fire District Board.

162
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:12,720
>> Thank you. Okay. Thank you.

163
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,720
>> Thank you.

164
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,199
>> Okay. Are there any other public

165
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:19,520
comments?

166
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,039
I see no hands. So that moves on to

167
00:08:23,039 --> 00:08:25,039
adoption of the meeting agenda. Do I

168
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:26,879
have a motion to adopt the meeting

169
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:27,599
agenda?

170
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:30,720
>> I move that we adopt the meeting agenda

171
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,120
uh and follow through on staff's

172
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,159
recommendation to pull item 9B

173
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:39,200
um for the item to be uh considered at a

174
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,159
future date uncertainty.

175
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:42,000
>> Okay. Yeah, we'll we'll we'll do that at

176
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:42,560
that point.

177
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:43,519
>> Okay.

178
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:47,200
>> Um is there a second to just approve the

179
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:47,760
agenda?

180
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,120
>> Second.

181
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,640
>> All those in favor? I

182
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,320
>> I

183
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,640
>> The motion passes unanimously. That

184
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120
moves us on therefore to the consent

185
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,399
agenda. And there are three items on the

186
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:05,590
consent agenda. Um

187
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,839
are there any items to be removed from

188
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:11,920
the consent agenda? Any proposals?

189
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,880
>> Yes, vice mayor. I'd like to approve or

190
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,760
remove item 6.3

191
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,000
um just for a staff discussion on the

192
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,519
record of what this is.

193
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:25,760
>> Okay. Any other to be moved

194
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,080
>> there to be removed? If not, um is there

195
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,279
a motion to approve 6.1 and 6.2?

196
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:34,640
>> So moved.

197
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,640
>> Is there a second?

198
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,040
>> Second.

199
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,800
>> Mr. Mayor, we need public comment before

200
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:39,519
the vote.

201
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:41,200
>> Yes. Thank you.

202
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,839
Are there any public comments on items

203
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:48,480
6.1 and 6.2 of the consent agenda? 6.1

204
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,680
being to receive accounts payable claims

205
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:54,320
for the term of August 1st to August

206
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,320
29th of 2025.

207
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,000
I see no hands. The second item is

208
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,640
approval of minutes for the August 27th,

209
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,040
2025 regular meeting of the Maraga Town

210
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,200
Council. Are there any public comments?

211
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,399
I see no hands. So, let's move on to

212
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:14,320
item 6.3.

213
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,000
>> We can take a look on 6.1 and 6.2.

214
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,440
>> You have a motion and a second on the

215
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:19,680
floor.

216
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,040
>> We have a motion and a second. Thank

217
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,069
you.

218
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:26,560
» All those in favor, please say I.

219
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:26,880
>> I.

220
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,360
Opposed or abstensions? It passes

221
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,120
unanimously.

222
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,440
Let's move on to 6.3.

223
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,519
Vice Mayor, floor is yours.

224
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:38,480
>> Um, yes. I I just would like staff to

225
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,880
discuss exactly what this is and why it

226
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,110
was necessary.

227
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,360
» Good evening, Nate Lavine, senior

228
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,839
engineer at Town Maraga. Um, yeah, great

229
00:10:49,839 --> 00:10:52,480
question. We have been working with P

230
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,160
Gen on this project for a handful of

231
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,480
years. It came from a planned

232
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,800
improvement that they were conducting on

233
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,279
Country Club and some of the minor

234
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:03,360
residential streets um to the north, you

235
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,920
know, past basically it's north of um

236
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,279
where canyon splits off of uh Moraga

237
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:11,360
Road, so up going up Country Club and so

238
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,480
forth. uh as part of the agreement that

239
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,519
we initially fell with um P Gen for

240
00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:18,880
their encroachment permit which is

241
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,880
required whenever they do work they had

242
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,880
some uh additional restoration

243
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,399
requirements because those streets were

244
00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:26,079
under what's called paving moratorum

245
00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:28,800
meaning we had recently expended effort

246
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,279
and money to repave and upgrade those

247
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:32,880
streets. Unfortunately, their project

248
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,959
didn't come in prior to that. So they

249
00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:37,279
had to cut up the street again to add in

250
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,440
their required infrastructure. And then

251
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,600
we have additional requirements for the

252
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,240
restoration. They completed their work

253
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,040
in multiple phases. Um after kind of the

254
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,640
second phase, they did a lot of the

255
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,959
trenching is what it's called. Um and we

256
00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:51,920
went out there and looked and said,

257
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,200
"Okay, the road's in really great

258
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,760
condition. They didn't leave any gaps or

259
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,040
issues that were going to be maintenance

260
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,640
problems. And then they were moving on

261
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,800
to what was phase three, which was a

262
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,880
microsurfacing or like a slurry coat

263
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,040
that goes on top of the roadway. We

264
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,360
reviewed it and said, you know, sure,

265
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,200
this could you could do this, but it

266
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,600
doesn't improve the road quality or

267
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,920
extend the useful life cycle. And we

268
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,600
decided that actually it would be better

269
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,240
if we received a buyout or a payment

270
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,399
from P Gen for the cost for that

271
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:22,000
microsurfacing. So that way we could

272
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,320
defer it to when it's more useful and

273
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,079
more needed. So instead of just having P

274
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:29,120
Gen spend money, we um took that effort

275
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,360
and are recouping it for a future effort

276
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,600
and future paving projects that we would

277
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,200
then be able to utilize when it's

278
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,800
required or more necessary.

279
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,680
>> So to be clear, will the area that's

280
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:42,079
being ripped up that was just repaved be

281
00:12:42,079 --> 00:12:45,120
restored? What uh what condition will it

282
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,200
be in once once P Gen is is done with

283
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:47,920
their work?

284
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,040
>> So it's it's been restored, so to speak.

285
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,279
um they're required to do what's called

286
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:55,680
a a large T- cut. It's either 2 feet or

287
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:57,760
4 feet past their trench, which is

288
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,519
building back really good material so

289
00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:02,480
that way there's no um basically divots

290
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,240
or or potholes that would form from

291
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,560
something like that. So the roadway is

292
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:08,240
in great shape as far as that goes

293
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,440
structurally. And then from

294
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,040
aesthetically, which is not, you know,

295
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,639
really our focus, but something we do

296
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:14,560
consider. It doesn't look like you have

297
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,320
a bunch of checkers out there, which is

298
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,839
the concern because that, you know, that

299
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:19,279
can be frustrating, especially when the

300
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:22,480
road is is more or less fresh or virgin

301
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,200
as they call it.

302
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,800
>> And last question. So, you mentioned

303
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,279
that this stretch of road um was

304
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:30,480
currently under a roadway moratorum. Um

305
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,040
I'm just wondering is we're doing a lot

306
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,760
of road projects. Do all of those uh

307
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,000
projects once completed have a similar

308
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,320
moratorum which would then if a utility

309
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,480
or somebody else had to rip it up draw

310
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,040
this kind of fee and if so how long does

311
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,399
that moratorium go for?

312
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:48,639
>> The moratoriums range based on the type

313
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,360
of street arterials uh and collector

314
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,839
streets have a longer moratorum where

315
00:13:53,839 --> 00:13:55,279
residential streets have a shorter

316
00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:57,040
moratorium. It's something we are always

317
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,600
reviewing whenever we get for example P

318
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,279
Gen is doing a project in the Campell

319
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:02,800
Lindo neighborhood right now. those

320
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,560
streets are under moratorium. We took a

321
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,560
similar approach to kind of negotiate

322
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:08,639
the right type of restoration that's the

323
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:10,639
most beneficial for the town as well as

324
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:12,639
the residents in the area. So this is

325
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:15,920
something we're always looking at in the

326
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,480
future. We work as much as we can with P

327
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,880
Gen Eastbay MUD so they're aware of our

328
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,760
paving program. They try to get their

329
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,560
projects in before our paving project.

330
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,560
It's not something we can force them to

331
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,279
do and they aren't always obligated. Um,

332
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:33,360
so then things like this happen, we go

333
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,800
through an exception, we go through an

334
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,240
encroachment permit, it all gets

335
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,240
documented and then we ensure that we

336
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,240
get the best product and the most useful

337
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,680
product for the town and the residents

338
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,800
as a result.

339
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,800
>> Thank you.

340
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,880
>> Other questions or comments from town

341
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,600
council members?

342
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:57,279
I'm seeing no nothing from up here. Any uh comments or questions from the

343
00:14:57,279 --> 00:14:58,959
public?

344
00:14:58,959 --> 00:15:02,480
I'm seeing no hands. Um, is there a

345
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,910
motion therefore?

346
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,000
» I move

347
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,920

348
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,360

>> I'll second.

>> All those in favor say I. I I

356
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,839
there's no one to oppose, so it passes

unanimously.

358
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,959
That takes us on to announcements and

359
00:15:36,959 --> 00:15:39,680
reports on activities.

360
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,240
Brian, would you like to kick this off?

361
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,480
>> Sure. Um I had two meetings. Um, one was

362
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,360
with um one of the upper management of

363
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:57,199
NGO um regarding the GAD um item that

364
00:15:57,199 --> 00:15:59,120
was on the agenda several months ago. It

365
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,880
was more of an introduction for me. I

366
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,240
had not met him before and uh he just

367
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,839
gave me some perspective on the

368
00:16:05,839 --> 00:16:09,040
discussion that we had. Uh Yuri, I'm

369
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,959
going to butcher his last name, but

370
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:11,600
>> Elu.

371
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,519
>> Elahu. Yes. Thanks, Mayor. And then I

372
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:19,199
also uh was able to take a tour of the

373
00:16:19,199 --> 00:16:20,880
um item that we're going to continue

374
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,279
later, I think. Uh the Bowlinger Canyon

375
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:26,560
Emergency Evacuation Route. Um I was

376
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,560
given a tour by former council member

377
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,600
and mayor Teresa Oneda and Suzanne

378
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,160
Jones, and we walked uh pretty much the

379
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,720
entire route all the way to the staging

380
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,759
area in San Ramon.

381
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:42,240
Oh,

382
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,759
>> Graeme.

383
00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:44,399
>> Um,

384
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:45,040
>> thank you.

385
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,759
Brian. Um, I think my only

386
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:50,720
other um announcement would be had a

387
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,240
similar tour of said area um number of

388
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,519
weeks ago um also with Susan Jones, uh

389
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,480
former mayor Theresa Naida, and former

390
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,839
um council member Dave Shapiro.

391
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:06,720
>> Thank you, Vice Mayor.

392
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,559
I think I may be announcing that I'm the

393
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:10,319
only member of the council and including

394
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,880
the uh the town manager that has yet to

395
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,120
actually uh hike this trail. So

396
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:17,600
hopefully I'll uh my schedule line will

397
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,000
be able to get that taken care of in

398
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,439
short order. Um that said, I want to

399
00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:26,559
make a comment that's on a more serious

400
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:29,600
uh note. The assassination today of

401
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,600
conservative political activist Charlie

402
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,880
Kirk serves as a stark reminder of the

403
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,120
urgent need to foster a culture of

404
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:39,919
respect and understanding regardless of

405
00:17:39,919 --> 00:17:42,799
our differing political viewpoints. I

406
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:45,600
urge our leaders in particular to

407
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,080
champion efforts that promote unity,

408
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,480
empathy, and a commitment to peaceful

409
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,440
discourse. Together we can build a more

410
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,679
respectful and inclusive society for

411
00:17:55,679 --> 00:17:58,080
everyone. My condolences to the Kirk

412
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,880
family. Thank you.

413
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,799
>> Thank you. I I directionally I agree.

414
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:09,430
There's there's no question.

415
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,520
So I would like to primarily talk

416
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,559
tonight uh on

417
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:17,760
the subject of uh organization and

418
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,480
recent efforts regarding

419
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,160
uh the organization is entitled

420
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,799
sustainable contracasta

421
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:27,679
and uh we've been a a member of their

422
00:18:27,679 --> 00:18:30,960
network uh since about 2020

423
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,240
and it's got a very broad focus

424
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,799
regarding s you know sustainable living

425
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:39,120
works with a wide range of organizations

426
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:43,200
and people. We pay an annual fee to this

427
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,360
organization

428
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:51,600
and um it it has a competition between

429
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,520
cities

430
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,960
in terms of how well they're doing in uh

431
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,280
achieving in in improving on

432
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,960
sustainability.

433
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,760
And so far uh this challenge has

434
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,799
included over 6,000 households.

435
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:10,480
Uh it increased again by almost 300 last

436
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,080
year. Uh saved 180 tons of CO2 with

437
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,440
11,000 gallons of gas and um

438
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,080
you know and $17,000.

439
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,960
The city leaderboard in position number

440
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,520
one is Moraga with points and they give

441
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,480
points for each each activity that is

442
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,919
accomplished. Um approximately 1 million

443
00:19:33,919 --> 00:19:35,919
or 1,250

444
00:19:35,919 --> 00:19:40,160
points. Second place is Arinda 991,000

445
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,120
points. Then comes Martinez at about

446
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:46,400
800,000 W Creek about 650,000.

447
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,520
Antioch 50 uh almost 600,000 and

448
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,720
Lafayette 550,000. So, um, you know, we

449
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,240
should be honored that we're number one.

450
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,919
Now, I'd like to say it's because of

451
00:19:57,919 --> 00:20:02,559
what I do and all the adults, but it's primarily Camp Belinda High School.

452
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:05,600
The the the you guys at Campo High are

453
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,919
really gung-ho about this subject, and I

454
00:20:07,919 --> 00:20:10,080
really commend that commend the high

455
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,799
school for that. And, you know, for the

456
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:14,080
town council members, if you're not

457
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,320
familiar with it, we can get you that

458
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,799
the website so you can uh learn about

459
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:22,559
this activity. Um and and it is per

460
00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:24,320
pertinent

461
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,760
in the not too distant future. We're

462
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,600
going to be talking about climate action

463
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,679
plan and there's there's definitely a

464
00:20:29,679 --> 00:20:34,320
nexus between that. Um I also note that

465
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,200
next week on September 17th

466
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,440
uh so they are holding their 17th annual

467
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,480
awards gayla from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. in

468
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,440
Pleasant Hill. And as a network member,

469
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,159
we get three tickets

470
00:20:50,159 --> 00:20:52,159
and I'm going to attend. So there are

471
00:20:52,159 --> 00:20:56,559
two other available tickets. Um and a a

472
00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:00,159

going to receive one of the awards that

474
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,159

475
00:21:06,159 --> 00:21:07,840

511
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,200
Jasmine Bateson. I'm the recreation

512
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,240

00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,799

515
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:37,200
I'm here tonight recommending 21

516
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,520
applicants which were included in your

00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,840
agenda packet to the to be appointed to

518
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,840
the youth involvement committee, 13 of

519
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,280
whom are here tonight. Um,

520
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,679
just as kind of an overview, the Moraga

521
00:22:49,679 --> 00:22:51,600
Youth Involvement Committee is a space

522
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,880
for Moraga youth in grades 7th through

523
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,159
12th um to learn about civic engagement,

524
00:22:58,159 --> 00:23:01,039
advise on youth needs, and volunteer in

525
00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:03,760
their community. Um, this year we

526
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,200
received 34 applications to serve on

527
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,960
this committee. Um, and those who are

528
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,799
not being recommended for appointment

529
00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:14,480
have been invited to attend committee

530
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,799

531
00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:18,559

532
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:21,200
discussions as non- voting participants.

533
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,039
So, the 21 here tonight are being

00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:25,600
recommended as the voting uh members of

535
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,919
the committee. Um, each applicant was

536
00:23:27,919 --> 00:23:30,400
interviewed individually to assess their

537
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,120
interest, availability, um, and

538
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:35,360
potential contribution.

539
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:37,039
The group I'm recommending brings

540
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:39,679
diverse perspectives, interests, and

541
00:23:39,679 --> 00:23:42,240
experience, and together they will

542
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,000
provide a strong collective voice as

543
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,360
Moraga's youth. Um, over the years, the

544
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:49,440
Moraga Involvement Committee has made

545
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,280
meaningful contributions to this

546
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,640
community. Each year, members volunteer

547
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,280
and support town events such as the

548
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,080
treelighting ceremony, breakfast with

549
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,640
Santa, and our a and the recreation

550
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,600
department's annual spring tea party.

551
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,600
Past committees have also taken the lead

552
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,000
in hosting their own community events,

553
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,559
often in collaboration with other youth

554
00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:16,559
committees um with within Larinda. Um,

555
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:18,320
some of the highlights over the last few

556
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,320
years include a spring fest with a

557
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,240
cultural fair that was hosted at Moraga

558
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Commons in 20

559
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,440
22. Um, a battle of the bands supporting

560
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,080
suicide awareness that was held in

561
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,240
Lafayette and a social pickle ball

562
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,000
tournament in collaboration with the

563
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,960
Arinda Teen Advisory Committee. In

564
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,480
addition, the committee has partnered

565
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,480
with local nonprofit organizations to

566
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,640
address community needs from organizing

567
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,600
coat drives, towel drives to creating

568
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,600
holiday cards for youth and hospice

569
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,080
care. And so, these are just a few

570
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,480
examples. These all stem from the

571
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,559
passions of the youth within this

572
00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:59,039
community. Um, but I'd like to take a

573
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:01,919
few minutes to invite both a new

574
00:25:01,919 --> 00:25:04,320
applicant and returning applicant to the

575
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,400
podium tonight. um just to share about

576
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,799
their experience and hopes for the year.

577
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:11,600
Um so Ria, if you'd come up first,

578
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,750
please.

579
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,120
Hello, my name is Ria Shaw. I'm a junior

580
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:22,640
oh at Camp Belindo High School. Um, this

581
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,200
I've served on NYC for the past two

582
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,039
years and it's really taught me a lot

583
00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:29,760
about leadership and also about the

584
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,760
Moraga community as a whole through

585
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,760
volunteering events which I was able to

586
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,159
see what Moraga really does and how we

587
00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:39,520
involve all ages of the community into

588
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,480
um supporting one another and really

589
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,159
just yeah uplifting one another. Um,

590
00:25:46,159 --> 00:25:48,080
Moraga has also taught me a lot about

591
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,320
how to be confident when speaking to an

592
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,559
audience like I'm doing now. Um, and

593
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:55,679
also among my peers, I've really learned

594
00:25:55,679 --> 00:25:59,520
and grown through the NYC community, uh,

595
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,919
NYC committee. My first year, I was very

596
00:26:01,919 --> 00:26:03,840
shy and I didn't talk a lot. And last

597
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,400
year, um, I was subcommittee chair for

598
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,720
an event that we're trying to get done

599
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,960
this year. Um, I'm really looking

600
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,799
forward to supporting mental health

601
00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:14,880
awareness this year. I feel it's very

602
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,039
important to me and I would love to

603
00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:20,080
uplift the youth of Lamarinda um and

604
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,000
supporting their mental health along

605
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,400
with the sustainability that we have

606
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,880
continued to do. Thank you.

607
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,310
>> Thank you.

608
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,400
» All right. And Alex, if you'll come up

609
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:38,630
to the podium.

610
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,960
» Hello. My name is Alex Martinez Deaz.

611
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,360
I'm in ninth grade or a freshman in Camp

612
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:47,840
Lindo right over there. Um, for this

613
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,320
year, I'm really excited to be able to

614
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,840
join MYIC as I can volunteer for many of

615
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,480
the events that may help my community,

616
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,320
my peers, and also my school over here.

617
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:07,919
Um, I mean, I just really enjoy trying

618
00:27:07,919 --> 00:27:12,960
to uplift the community and I also enjoy

619
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,279
these um,

620
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:17,039
community meetings to understand what's

621
00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:20,320
happening within Moraga and also the

622
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,679
smaller things that happen.

623
00:27:23,679 --> 00:27:25,279
Thank you so much.

624
00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:29,830
>> Thank you so much.

625
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,120
Thanks, Ria and Alex. I appreciate it.

626
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:36,400
Um, I think that while brief, these

627
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,600
perspectives um really show kind of a

628
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,240
broad range of what all of these young

629
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,880
people behind me represent

630
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,480
um and their commitment to serving

631
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,000
Moraga. Um it is wonderful that 13 of 21

632
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,960
are actually here tonight um while many

633
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,159
of them have e other extracurricular um

634
00:27:56,159 --> 00:27:59,520
commitments as well. Um, so this evening

635
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,600
I'm recommending that these 21 youth be

636
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,200
appointed to the youth involvement

637
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:09,520
committee for the 2025 2026 term um and

638
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,240
receive the oath of office.

639
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,120
>> Thank you. Before we go to that, are

640
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:18,559
there any comments by council members?

641
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:21,120
>> I have a few questions.

642
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:24,960
How many of the 21 are returnees?

643
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,520
There are 11 returnees.

644
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,039
>> And how did we land on 21?

645
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:35,200
>> The bylaws indicate 21. So beyond that,

646
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,320
>> somebody created the bylaws.

647
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,760
>> I would imagine that 21 it's going to be

648
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,480
um

649
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,559
you'll be more successful in achieving a

650
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:50,000
quorum of young people.

651
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,590
>> Enough said.

652
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,640
No questions,

653
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,159
>> Vice Mayor.

654
00:28:58,159 --> 00:29:00,000
>> Uh, questions and comments, right?

655
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,600
>> Fine. Absolutely.

656
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,399
>> So, I want to thank you all for uh being

657
00:29:04,399 --> 00:29:07,039
willing to volunteer for your community.

658
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:09,360
As I'm sure you know, Moraga is a

659
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,159
community that depends on volunteers.

660
00:29:12,159 --> 00:29:14,559
Everyone that's sitting up here um

661
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:17,440
across from you, we're all volunteers.

662
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,960
uh our commissions are uh our

663
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,679
volunteers, even our gardening on some

664
00:29:23,679 --> 00:29:25,520
of our traffic medians are done by

665
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,960
volunteers. So, I'm hoping that this is

666
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,919
for you really the start of being able

667
00:29:31,919 --> 00:29:34,880
to go out and do volunteer activities,

668
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,840
not just for our community, but for our

669
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,640
society. Um the things that we're doing

670
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,240
here, these are things that you can do,

671
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,840
too, if you if you're crazy enough to

672
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,720
want to do it. Um and but I do thank you

673
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,120
all for uh coming forward. One thing

674
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,279
that I would say and now also rub it in

675
00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:54,960
for the town manager um that uh the

676
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,840
holiday tree lighting this year is

677
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,200
likely to also be a holiday tree and

678
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,440
manora lighting as soon as the town

679
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,520
manager gets the application off. Um

680
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,799
I told you I was going to rip on you.

681
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:10,320
>> Send a note to the rabbit.

682
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,919
>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, so maybe we need

683
00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:16,399
to rename it to just holiday lighting. I

684
00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:18,240
don't know. Whatever. Whatever is punchy

685
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,080
and fits on a poster. Thank you.

686
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,279
>> Thank you. I think

687
00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:29,039
>> um it's my honor to read uh a statement

688
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:34,640
from uh council member Lisa Majio who uh

689
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,480
is one of the adviserss for the uh

690
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,679
committee and but cannot attend tonight.

691
00:30:41,679 --> 00:30:44,559
So her statement goes as follows.

692
00:30:44,559 --> 00:30:46,720
Congratulations to each of you on your

693
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,080
appointment to the Moraga Youth

694
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,880
Involvement Committee. I'm sorry I

695
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,480
cannot be with you this evening, but

696
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,039
please know how proud and grateful we

697
00:30:55,039 --> 00:30:58,640
are for your commitment to civil civic

698
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,840
engagement. Your voices bring the

699
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,360
invaluable perspective of our

700
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,240
community's youth, reminding us of the

701
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,039
importance of including your generation

702
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:11,919
in shaping Moraga's future. The time and

703
00:31:11,919 --> 00:31:14,799
energy you devote to volunteer projects

704
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:17,440
makes a real difference for everyone who

705
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,480
lives and works here and we deeply value

706
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,120
the insight and enthusiasm you

707
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,919
contribute.

708
00:31:25,919 --> 00:31:30,559
Personally, I echo those comments and those are the other comments of my

709
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:34,880
co-consil members. Um I uh I did review

710
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,679
the agendas for the committee from last

711
00:31:37,679 --> 00:31:41,360
year. I was really very impressed by the

712
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,600
uh the depth and the breadth of the

713
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,919
activities including and especially

714
00:31:45,919 --> 00:31:55,919
working with uh youth from um Arunda and Lafayette. Um and I do have a

715
00:31:55,919 --> 00:31:59,279
question. There is a note about the

716
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:01,440
California Association of Student

717
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,600
Councils regional cabinet applications.

718
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,840
Can can someone explain that to me how

719
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:14,710
that that that is connected with the committee?

720
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,720
» It's not directly connected to the

721
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,679
committee.

722
00:32:17,679 --> 00:32:20,240
>> Um that application comes out annually

723
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,039
and is shared as an an additional

724
00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:25,440
opportunity for committee members.

725
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,760
>> Thank you. I saw that in the one of the

726
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:33,039
agendas and wanted to understand it. My final comment um besides saying thank

727
00:32:33,039 --> 00:32:37,279
you is um I see from the agendas that

728
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:38,720
tomorrow night you're going to be

729
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,279
dealing with some administrative issues

730
00:32:41,279 --> 00:32:44,880
um bylaws, election of officers, uh

731
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,440
committees, objectives, goals for the 25

732
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,279
26 term. sounds like some of the things

733
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:52,399
that we do annually uh and volunteer

734
00:32:52,399 --> 00:32:55,679
opportunities but also review of the

735
00:32:55,679 --> 00:32:57,840
Brown Act and pol parliamentary

736
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,640
procedures and and the Brown Act is a

737
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,640
very interesting act. Uh it's been

738
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,600
around for a while and an indication of

739
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,519
how long it's been around is that it was

740
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:10,960
enacted the same year I was born. So

741
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,960
that was

742
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,840
it survived a long time.

743
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,760
Are we going to do an official uh oath

744
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,960
of office? And how do we handle the um

745
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,399
other um attendees who or members who

746
00:33:24,399 --> 00:33:26,399
could not attend tonight? Will they have

747
00:33:26,399 --> 00:33:28,320
a separate oath? They'll come into your

748
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,279
office. I guess

749
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:32,159
>> I can actually give Jasmine the papers

750
00:33:32,159 --> 00:33:34,080
that all of the members need to sign and

751
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,679
we'll have them sign it.

752
00:33:35,679 --> 00:33:37,919
>> Okay. Thank you. And my understanding is

753
00:33:37,919 --> 00:33:40,399
that the minimum number is 13. So it's

754
00:33:40,399 --> 00:33:43,519
somewhere between 13 and 21. Yeah. Okay.

755
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:45,279
M

756
00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:46,640
Do you have to perform the oath

757
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,200
yourself?

758
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,600
>> I think we have the the clerk does.

759
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,279
>> Mr. Mayor, we should take public comment

760
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:54,960
before we take a motion to appoint.

761
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,480
>> Thank you for the reminder.

762
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,120
Is there any public comment on this item

763
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,870
tonight?

764
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,840
Parents?

765
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,720
Okay. I see no public comments. So,

766
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:13,040
let's move on and we turn it over to you

767
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,879
for that.

768
00:34:14,879 --> 00:34:16,720
or we point. I

769
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:20,159
>> think we need a vote and a second point

770
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,960
and then um once the appointment is

771
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,040
supported by a majority of the council,

772
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,679
then um the clerk can swear the members

773
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:29,359
that are present in Okay.

774
00:34:29,359 --> 00:34:31,760
>> Um and for the record, can we get a

775
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,839
listing of the names so that it's clear

776
00:34:33,839 --> 00:34:35,760
what the names are? Uh can you

777
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,119
>> in the attachment? It might be easier

778
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:39,200
for Jasmine to read them out and then

779
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,159
council members can say as indicated by

780
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:42,399
staff

781
00:34:42,399 --> 00:34:43,280
>> collectively or

782
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,720
>> Yes, I think so.

783
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:47,280
>> As you can see, this is not rehearsed.

784
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,800
>> 21.

785
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,399
>> So, do you want the motion first and

then she fills in the 21 or how how does

787
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,800

00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,240
addressed in in section 6.1.10 10 of the

915
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:04,000
protocols

916
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,079
which sort of um goes through this this

917
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:11,599
process. And you know, I want to preface

918
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:16,000
this by saying that this item

919
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,160
um has been well, it is our opportunity

920
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:28,000
as a group to proactively raise an issue

921
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,480
>> or some

922
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,119
suggested recommend or action

923
00:42:33,119 --> 00:42:34,960
potentially.

924
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,720
It's the only the only opportunity for

925
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:39,599
us to do that as a group.

926
00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:44,560
And um it in theory is a great

927
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,640
opportunity for us, but I got to tell

928
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,119
you historically it hasn't necessarily

929
00:42:49,119 --> 00:42:51,520
worked very well for a number of reasons

930
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,119
including

931
00:42:53,119 --> 00:42:57,520
just personalities and and a range of

932
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,880
reasons. So at some part point oh

933
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,720
probably 10 five years ago or so maybe a

934
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:09,359
year longer um we

935
00:43:09,359 --> 00:43:11,520
adjusted it and set some expectations

936
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,800
for this and that's what's what's given

937
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,680
here in in the protocols

938
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,000
and the first pro paragraph basically

939
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,200
says or sort of sets the the the frame

940
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,280
but it says the first thing town council

941
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,920
members should do is get together with

942
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,119
the town manager and see if the town

943
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:33,920
manager can agree

944
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,520
does agree that it ought to be put on

945
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,520
the agenda. And then if the town manager

946
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,359
agrees, it gets put on the agenda and

947
00:43:41,359 --> 00:43:44,880
gets handled like any agenda item. If

948
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,200
the town manager doesn't agree, well

949
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:51,599
then it it gives three options for how

950
00:43:51,599 --> 00:43:54,160
to pursue this as part of this future

951
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:58,319
agenda item. and one is to request to

952
00:43:58,319 --> 00:44:00,880
place the matter as a discussion item at

953
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,440
a future agenda item meeting, excuse me,

954
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,920
future meeting, thus allowing the town

955
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,319
council to discuss whether the issue

956
00:44:08,319 --> 00:44:10,800
warrants further exploration with staff

957
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,240
resources. This is that option of it's

958
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:20,960
an idea and rather than try to get the staff to really do substantial work

959
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,280
on it, you have a discussion. Maybe that

960
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:24,880
discussion lasts for 10 minutes. Maybe

961
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,359
it lasts for 25 minutes. It may well be

962
00:44:27,359 --> 00:44:31,680
that this town council says, "No, this is this isn't worth it." Or they

963
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,599
may say collectively, "You know what? We

964
00:44:33,599 --> 00:44:35,680
ought to we ought to pursue this to in

965
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,440
some way, shape, or form." And staff,

966
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,920
could you please? That's item number

967
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,040
two. Place the matter as an agenda item

968
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,000
in a a future meeting with limited staff

969
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,040
report and resources. So that's the

970
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,119
second option

971
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:54,720
proposing such as a group and the third

972
00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:56,720
one is to basically do the same place

973
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:58,319
the matter on an agenda item for the

974
00:44:58,319 --> 00:44:59,920
future meeting with full staff report

975
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:02,480
and resources. So that's that's sort of

976
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,960
the the communication

977
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,640
and what we

978
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,480
set as a sort of a expectation

979
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,720
was that if if one of the town council

980
00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:18,160
members proposes just an uh something

981
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,319
that they want to discuss is to be

982
00:45:20,319 --> 00:45:24,160
liberal in allowing it recognizing that

983
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,000
this is the only opportunity to um raise

984
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,720
an issue. I I I I don't want to take it

985
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:32,720
any any any further than that tonight.

986
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:35,680
just that uh I hope that um in the

987
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:40,079
future if if I I raise an issue um just

988
00:45:40,079 --> 00:45:42,880
for discussion and and

989
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,160
I'll I'll honestly I I'll tell you that

990
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,920
I think that there may be opportunities

991
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:52,240
with regard to um

992
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:56,400
wildfire safety that may warrant us

993
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,240
not within the cycle of setting goals

994
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:00,640
and priorities but outside of that that

995
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,440
cycle that may warrant aren't

996
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,359
consideration by the group because we

997
00:46:05,359 --> 00:46:08,480
are really dealing with a change here.

998
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,240
Okay,

999
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:13,440
that's all I got. Okay, good. Thank you

1000
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:19,430
for listening to me. Um,

1001
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,760
now I think that takes us on to uh town

1002
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,240
manager reports. Wait a minute, let me

1003
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:27,040
make sure.

1004
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,720
Informational items. Are there

1005
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:31,119
anyformational items?

1006
00:46:31,119 --> 00:46:35,520
Um, Mr. Mayor, members of the council,

1007
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,880
the next I had no followup from tonight

1008
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,960
other than when Mr. Danzer was

1009
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,319
presenting and I did chat with him a

1010
00:46:42,319 --> 00:46:44,000
little bit. So, we'll definitely put

1011
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,680
that on an upcoming agenda when he can

1012
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,319
come in and and and talk to the council

1013
00:46:48,319 --> 00:46:49,359
and the community to talk about what's

1014
00:46:49,359 --> 00:46:52,240
going on with fire station 42. I I I've

1015
00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:54,000
had a couple conversations with our fire

1016
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,839
chief about that. So, we're working very

1017
00:46:55,839 --> 00:46:57,760
closely to

1018
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,920
um make it attractive out there and also

1019
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,000
lead by example. We're very grateful

1020
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,280
that they're finally going to do

1021
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,359
something with a dirt patch in the front

1022
00:47:05,359 --> 00:47:08,560
that everybody sees every day. Um okay,

1023
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,119
so the next meeting of the council will

1024
00:47:11,119 --> 00:47:13,680
be on September 24th. relatively light

1025
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,359
agenda and if time if we have enough

1026
00:47:17,359 --> 00:47:19,920
information we may be placing on the

1027
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,800
agenda the Camino Pablo uh subdivision

1028
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,680
for um a small number of homes in south

1029
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,640
part of the community. If if we know the

1030
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,000
date of when it's going to go to the

1031
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,240
county board of supervisors then we'll put it on the agenda for the

1032
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:36,480
council if you want to convey any

1033
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,640
comments to the board. Um, I've been

1034
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,560
asked by by more than one council member

1035
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,079
if we would do that. I think we even

1036
00:47:42,079 --> 00:47:44,480
said we would look at that at a council

1037
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,040
meeting. Okay. So, we we'll try for the

1038
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,960
24th if we're ready. If not, it'll be at

1039
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,880
a date that works. We've been told it

1040
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,040
might come to the supervisors as soon as

1041
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,599
October or November. So, we want to make

1042
00:47:55,599 --> 00:47:57,200
sure we have enough time to get your

1043
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:01,589
input if if you have any.

1044
00:48:01,599 --> 00:48:04,160
Um, that

1045
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:05,920
we have a few few other items. all the

1046
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,640
food food trucks issue timely issue um

1047
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,880
because some questions been raised about

1048
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,240
the food truck that's moving around here

1049
00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:15,200
on on RE. So, we were directed by the

1050
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,000
council to come back with um a potential

1051
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,560
ordinance or policy on the food trucks

1052
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,800
regulation issue. So, we will do that

1053
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,119
maybe as soon as the 24th. If not, then

1054
00:48:25,119 --> 00:48:28,319
it'll be in October or November. Hey,

1055
00:48:28,319 --> 00:48:29,680
with respect to some exciting things

1056
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,280
that are coming up. Oh, exciting

1057
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,599
announcements. So, today St. St. Mary's

1058
00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:35,920
College announced that they will be

1059
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,599
bringing division one aquatic sports for

1060
00:48:39,599 --> 00:48:45,119
men and women to the college. This is a big deal while why while other

1061
00:48:45,119 --> 00:48:47,359
colleges are cutting back on swimming

1062
00:48:47,359 --> 00:48:50,640
and stuff, we're going to be diving into

1063
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,400
it.

1064
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,319
>> So, it'll be um a water pool and

1065
00:48:54,319 --> 00:48:56,400
swimming

1066
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:57,920
>> starting next year.

1067
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,920
>> Just a quick question. Will that require

1068
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:02,800
any modification of their existing um

1069
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,200
sporting facilities like expansion?

1070
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,760
>> Yeah, not not initially. So, the devil

1071
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,280
is in the details. I haven't seen the

1072
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,280
media release. I I know they made their

1073
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,559
presentation today. I was looking for

1074
00:49:12,559 --> 00:49:14,240
it. I didn't find anything. So, we'll

1075
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:16,960
have more information and we'll likely

1076
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,880
have somebody from the college, if not

1077
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,559
Dr. Thompson himself, the president of

1078
00:49:20,559 --> 00:49:21,760
the college, come here and just say

1079
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,200
something at the beginning of a meeting.

1080
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,720
But, I thought I'd tell you now because

1081
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:27,760
it it was made public uh today. Maybe

1082
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,440
there'll be a newspaper story tomorrow

1083
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,520
about it or or coming up. So, it's

1084
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,520
really really exciting. The

1085
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,119
>> or the mayor could also ask him tomorrow

1086
00:49:35,119 --> 00:49:36,559
at the Kuanas meeting.

1087
00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:38,800
>> Yeah. Dr. Thompson is the uh speaker

1088
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,240
tomorrow at Kuanas for those who would

1089
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:41,680
like to attend and he's going to talk

1090
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,920
about this. Uh to answer the question

1091
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,480
though, for the first couple years uh

1092
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,319
because the the college president did

1093
00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:50,000
meet with the mayor and I about a week

1094
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,079
or so ago and made us aware of this.

1095
00:49:52,079 --> 00:49:54,480
They will uh likely use the pool at Camp

1096
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,760
Oolindo or other places for practicing.

1097
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,920
They do have a pool on campus. It's not

1098
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:02,000
quite the right size. So, for the first

1099
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,599
couple years, they'll be playing all

1100
00:50:03,599 --> 00:50:05,119
away games.

1101
00:50:05,119 --> 00:50:07,599
>> And if they for home games, if they have

1102
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:09,680
any, maybe they'll be at the high school

1103
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,839
or somewhere. I I we don't know.

1104
00:50:11,839 --> 00:50:12,079
>> Yeah.

1105
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:14,319
>> Um they have to figure it out.

1106
00:50:14,319 --> 00:50:16,079
>> This is this really exciting. So,

1107
00:50:16,079 --> 00:50:17,839
college president is new. He's been here

1108
00:50:17,839 --> 00:50:20,480
a year. He's doing his best to grow the

1109
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,240
enrollment. were suffering. We were

1110
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:23,680
suffering from declining enrollment but

1111
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,480
enrollments are up this year by by 6%.

1112
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,480
They also started a nursing program.

1113
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,760
This is the first uh semester of that

1114
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,319
like small number 2025 students but that

1115
00:50:34,319 --> 00:50:36,880
number is expected to grow and they're

1116
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,559
doing some other things academically and

1117
00:50:38,559 --> 00:50:40,079
athletically. They're starting to do

1118
00:50:40,079 --> 00:50:42,319
work on the um the ball field lights,

1119
00:50:42,319 --> 00:50:44,880
the baseball field lights, then the work

1120
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,800
on the softball field and then the

1121
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,359
football stadium. They're also working

1122
00:50:49,359 --> 00:50:52,400
on doing upgrades to the library, the

1123
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,680
rugby clubhouse, and and so on. But I'm

1124
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,599
making the uh the town attorney nervous

1125
00:50:57,599 --> 00:50:59,680
because this is not on the agenda.

1126
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,920
>> Okay. Um

1127
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,480
yeah. Um

1128
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,559
the pair wine festival is coming up on

1129
00:51:06,559 --> 00:51:08,800
September 27th

1130
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,400
and there's just a lot of great things

1131
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:11,920
that that are happening over the next

1132
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,280
couple months. So that's the town

1133
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:14,720
manager update.

1134
00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:17,200
>> Sorry, another followup. Um, did we have

1135
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:18,800
any followup on I know at the last

1136
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,720
meeting we raised the question over

1137
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:21,920
whether or not we could have a free

1138
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,319
speech table for council members

1139
00:51:24,319 --> 00:51:27,280
potentially to cycle through uh adjacent

1140
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,440
to the Moraga booth.

1141
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:30,480
>> Free speech

1142
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,520
>> since we can't uh have a table at the

1143
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,480
farmers market.

1144
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,240
>> They want it at the pair festival.

1145
00:51:36,240 --> 00:51:37,680
>> Oh yeah, you could. Yeah, you could do

1146
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,520
that. We'll just do it.

1147
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,160
>> So my my request I know it's not

1148
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,079
>> we mean for the council members to to be

1149
00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:46,160
present. We'll have to decide. We can

1150
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:47,839
>> Yeah, it's our event. We can do that

1151
00:51:47,839 --> 00:51:48,480
>> time. But

1152
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,000
>> no, that's right.

1153
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:51,520
>> Yeah.

1154
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,839
I would be available during that

1155
00:51:53,839 --> 00:51:54,720
period.

1156
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:56,480
>> And I think I can do probably the

1157
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,160
morning before my kids go.

1158
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,119
>> We we we need to and of course that's

1159
00:52:01,119 --> 00:52:04,240
just a couple weeks away. Uh need to

1160
00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:06,800
decide what we're going to put at the

1161
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,160
table.

1162
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:09,280
>> Sounds good.

1163
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:10,079
>> Right. So

1164
00:52:10,079 --> 00:52:12,880
>> committee subcommittee for that. Uh, can

1165
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,839
we? Sure.

1166
00:52:15,839 --> 00:52:17,520
I think so.

1167
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:18,480
>> Not right now.

1168
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:19,839
>> Yeah. I was just gonna say, do we have

1169
00:52:19,839 --> 00:52:21,440
to do we have to make a motion?

1170
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,760
>> Uh, the town manager will work on that

1171
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:24,720
outside of the meeting.

1172
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:26,400
>> Yeah, because we we have booths there

1173
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,880
and so on if if council members want to

1174
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,480
be there and just answer questions,

1175
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,480
whatever. Be careful about free speech.

1176
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,240
The way you labeled that, but it'll be

1177
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:34,880
there for information.

1178
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,160
>> Can we have the town council members

1179
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,240
there is basically the cleaner question?

1180
00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:39,599
>> The answer is yes, and we'll take care

1181
00:52:39,599 --> 00:52:41,839
of the details. Maybe we can work on

1182
00:52:41,839 --> 00:52:43,599
whether we need a separate booth or we

1183
00:52:43,599 --> 00:52:46,319
just, you know, stand at the booth with

1184
00:52:46,319 --> 00:52:46,800
a big

1185
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:47,760
>> we'll make it work.

1186
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,640
>> Big hat on that says, you know, never

1187
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:51,440
mind.

1188
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,040
>> My my thinking is it should probably be

1189
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:54,880
a separate table because individually we

1190
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,240
can't speak for the town.

1191
00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:57,520
>> Y

1192
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,280
>> it's it will not be a problem.

1193
00:52:59,280 --> 00:52:59,680
>> Okay,

1194
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,280
>> good. Thank you. So, if there's nothing

1195
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,440
else,

1196
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,960
this may be a record. Um, town council's

1197
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:10,880
uh next regularly scheduled public

1198
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,680
meeting will be September 24th. Thank

1199
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,760
you. This concludes our September 10th

1200
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,750
town council meeting.

1201
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,040
» Thank you. I think I can actually make

1202
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,079
dinner time.

1203
00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:25,079
>> Good.
