[applause]

53
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,520
All right, treasures report. Welcome.

54
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,440
Good evening, mayor, uh members of the

55
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,920
council, city staff, uh and the public.

56
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:31,520
I'm here to review the city's investment

57
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,440
portfolio.

58
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,200
Uh first, just wanted to remind you on

59
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,200
our investment policy, which is kind of

60
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,760
our guiding document. It establishes our

61
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,400
priorities. uh or objectives of safety,

62
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,519
liquidity and return. It also encourages

63
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:48,080
us to invest prudently. Um obviously all

64
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,840
investing carries risk but if we can

65
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,080
diversify uh those risks then hopefully

66
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,000
on the the entire portfolio that the

67
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,959
risk is brought down. Um it also

68
00:02:56,959 --> 00:02:58,720
specifies what types of investments we

69
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,720
can make. We can't invest in stocks or

70
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,080
anything like that. We're really uh

71
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,519
limited to short-term highquality bonds.

72
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:07,040
So let's take a look at what the bond

73
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,879
market has done over the last year.

74
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:13,519
This is a year ago what the yield curve

75
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:16,560
looked like. So the yield curve is it

76
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,640
shows you the interest rates for

77
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:20,480
investing in a treasury bond of various

78
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,120
different maturities from 0 to 5 years.

79
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,200
Um typically a yield curve is upward

80
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,760
sloping. So you get a larger return the

81
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,080
longer you lock up your money. Um here

82
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,760
it's called inverted. We have shorter

83
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,360
term rates that are above longer term

84
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,440
rates. Um that typically signals that

85
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,040
we're in a period of transition where

86
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,120
short-term rates will be coming down.

87
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,879
And that is what happened over the

88
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:43,519
second half of 2025. Um inflation was

89
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:45,360
coming down. The Fed cut the short-term

90
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,319
rates threequarters of a percent. Um but

91
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:51,760
in the first half of 2026, that trend

92
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,799
changed a little bit. We had um the uh

93
00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:56,640
crisis in the Middle East, the conflict

94
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,480
in the Middle East, uh raising, you

95
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,319
know, oil prices and maybe there's

96
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:02,159
rekindling of inflation. So perhaps the

97
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:03,519
Fed isn't going to be able to cut

98
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:05,840
interest rates as much. So interest

99
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,640
rates actually rose for uh longer term

100
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,519
maturities, which uh negatively affects

101
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:14,159
the the value of the bonds that you own,

102
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:16,959
but it does mean that um when you're

103
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:18,320
reinvesting that money, it's going to be

104
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,400
at higher rates. So it's sort of like we

105
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,759
took one step back, but then we're going

106
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:23,440
to take two steps forward. We'll still

107
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,919
get to where we intended to, just kind

108
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:28,960
of a different path.

109
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,720
um looking at our portfolio more

110
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,160
specifically. Um again, we want to make

111
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,800
sure we're investing safely. So, how do

112
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,639
we do that? Short-term high-quality

113
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:41,040
bonds. Bonds are contractual obligations

114
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,800
where the issuer is, you know, required

115
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,960
to return our money and pay us interest.

116
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,560
Uh in particular, twothirds of our

117
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,960
portfolio is in uh US treasuries and

118
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,360
agencies. Those are backed by the full

119
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,040
faith and credit of the US government.

120
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,840
So, they're very safe. Um even these

121
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,040
other types of investments, you know,

122
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,720
even the corporate bonds, those are very large companies that we use every

123
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,040
day, they're very safe investments. So

124
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,600
we feel good about the safety.

125
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,560
Um for liquidity, we have about $80

126
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,280
million that is due due on demand. So

127
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:13,600
that's uh invested in things like money

128
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,759
market funds or investment pools like

129
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:18,160
camp or leif where if you put a dollar

130
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,440
in, you should be able to get a dollar

131
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,199
out, you know, in the next day or two.

132
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:24,160
Um, so if we do have any unexpected um,

133
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,000
surprises, we have money that we could,

134
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,720
you know, use for that. Um, so we have

135
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,080
very good liquidity. If anything, we've

136
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,919
been taking the liquidity down. You see

137
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:33,199
about 40 million we've kind of

138
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,039
transferred from the do on demand to

139
00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:37,600
longer term maturities to try to lock in

140
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,080
those higher rates over the long run.

141
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,440
And lastly, we want to make sure that

142
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,520
we're getting um a good return on our

143
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,039
investment.

144
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:49,840
And over the last year, again, despite

145
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:51,759
the the rise in yields and stuff, we

146
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:53,840
were still able to manage a 3.13%

147
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:55,360
return, which is almost 10 billion

148
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,000
dollars of growth. If you compare that

149
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,800
to uh a fund of 1 to threeyear treasury

150
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,039
bonds, uh we actually outperform that by

151
00:06:03,039 --> 00:06:06,400
0.35% or about an extra million dollars.

152
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,800
So, I think it was pretty good pretty

153
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,360
good year on that on that respect. And

154
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,840
then looking forward again, rates are a

155
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,680
little bit higher. We now expect about a

156
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,639
4% return over the next two years, which

157
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:20,319
also compares favorably to our

158
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:23,510
benchmarks.

159
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,479
With that, I'll take any questions.

160
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:28,880
>> Questions for the treasur?

161
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,240
>> Comments for the treasur?

162
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,120
>> Okay, that too.

163
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,880
>> Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I have comments.

164
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,199
Hey, you're being really modest and

165
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:37,280
humble. Thank you. But you're doing a

166
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:39,440
great job over your predecessor because

167
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,360
I know you've improved the city's income

168
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,520
and our growth. So, um, you know me. I'm

169
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,639
going to just call it out for what it

170
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:47,199
is. But thank you. Great job. Keep

171
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:48,639
going.

172
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:50,960
>> Thank you. Anybody else?

173
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,160
>> All right. Thank you so much.

174
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,759
>> Okay. At this time, we're going to open

please come forward to the lect turn.

233
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,480

244
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,519

252
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,640
>> All right. 9A

253
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,480
Tikkert. I think this is the road

254
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,760
doctor.

255
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,720
>> You

256
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,839
hiding. He comes with good news.

257
00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:24,959
>> I know.

258
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:28,470
>> Really good news.

259
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:34,550
But he's saying about course.

260
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:38,000
» Good evening, mayor and council members.

261
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,279
Yes, I do have good news. Uh the item

262
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:43,760
before you is for awarding bid and

263
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,880
approving an an agreement between the

264
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,839
city of Turlock and Titer Construction

265
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:54,320
for rehabilitation of gear road project.

266
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,399
Uh a little background here just to

267
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:58,160
refresh everybody's memory. Three years

268
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,920
ago, the council approved task order

269
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:01,920
number two authorizing us to start

270
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,360
preliminary design up to 30% stage of

271
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,959
completion.

272
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:09,360
Uh

273
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,839
we made the first uh uh public

274
00:10:11,839 --> 00:10:14,240
information meeting with the public

275
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,959
collected uh comments from the public

276
00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:20,240
based on the stage of uh design that we

277
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,160
had at the time and subsequent to that

278
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,440
we made a similar presentation to the

279
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,959
council.

280
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:28,959
With that we requested and received

281
00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:31,680
authorization to proceed with final

282
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:34,720
design. Shortly after that, we received

283
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,920
good news from uh Stanco Stannis Law

284
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,079
Council of Governments that we were the

285
00:10:40,079 --> 00:10:43,600
recipients of $4.8 million in surface

286
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,880
transportation block grant funding SDPG,

287
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,440
which meant the project was federalized,

288
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,519
meaning that we had to follow federal

289
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:55,600
regulations, follow Calrans procedures.

290
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,519
Uh so we held the second public

291
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:00,959
information meeting, collected

292
00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:03,200
additional information based on stage of

293
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,320
uh design from the public. Uh made

294
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,200
another uh presentation to the council.

295
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,120
Calrans determined that the project is

296
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,640
categorically

297
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,120
excluded from the requirements of

298
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,519
national environmental policy act NEPA

299
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:22,160
which meant that federal environmental

300
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,839
clearance was achieved. Right after

301
00:11:23,839 --> 00:11:26,959
that, the council made a similar uh

302
00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:30,079
determination based on uh California

303
00:11:30,079 --> 00:11:32,800
Environmental Quality Act SQUA. That

304
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,040
meant that the state regulations were

305
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,279
satisfied as far as environmental

306
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,120
clearance. With those two environmental

307
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,000
clearances at hand, we requested uh

308
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,920
authorization to proceed from CALR and

309
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,240
Federal Highway Administration. FHWA

310
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,200
issued a document that is called E76

311
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,560
obligated the 4.8 8 million and

312
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:56,079
authorized us to proceed with

313
00:11:56,079 --> 00:11:58,160
advertising the project for

314
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,320
construction. Before that, we had

315
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,920
already come to the council and asked

316
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,279
for authorization to uh advertise the

317
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:07,920
project once all these documents were in

318
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,920
place.

319
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,519
Uh, as soon as we received the E76, we

320
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:15,920
had additional good news from Stanco

321
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:22,800
that we received another $2 million in SDBG funding for safety improvements

322
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,720
along the corridor. So that brought the

323
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,760
total to 6.8 million, which means

324
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,880
shortly we will ask FHWA to amend E76

325
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,880
for the additional 2 million. So that

326
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,320
can be obligated towards the project.

327
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,680
Uh, one item to bring up here is as we

328
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:42,959
went through the project, we were

329
00:12:42,959 --> 00:12:45,120
looking at different ways to advertise

330
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,440
the project and see how we could speed

331
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,120
up the uh, construction and also

332
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,480
encourage participation by different

333
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,160
contractors.

334
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,639
Looking at three different phases,

335
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:01,360
staging those, overlapping those, it all

336
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,560
didn't help that much. We put our heads

337
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:07,279
together with Stanco and Calrans and

338
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:11,440
based on the climate of bidding at the

339
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,920
time that we were looking at this, we

340
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,600
all reached the conclusion it would be

341
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,920
best to have one bid package for all

342
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,760
three phases.

343
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,160
So this is the entire project from

344
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,839
Golden State Boulevard to Taylor Road.

345
00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:27,839
Up close a little bit, this is the

346
00:13:27,839 --> 00:13:30,079
southern portion phase one from Golden

347
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:32,399
State to Hawkeye.

348
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:36,000
Middle portion is phase two Hawkeye to

349
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,360
Monte Vista. North portion is Monte

350
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,240
Vista to Taylor.

351
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,160
Now what do we have in the specs? We

352
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,480
have 400 working days given to the

353
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,760
contractor to construct the project. Uh

354
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,000
10 days after notice to proceed, the

355
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
contractor has to start construction

356
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,800
activities. So let's say we issue notice

357
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,000
to proceed at the end of the month 400

358
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,320
calendar days or working days, I'm

359
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,600
sorry, working days. That would put us

360
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,839
uh at an approximate completion date of

361
00:14:07,839 --> 00:14:11,920
midappril of 2028. That's assuming

362
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,079
weather permitting us to continue with

363
00:14:14,079 --> 00:14:16,560
construction. If we have the wet winter

364
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,800
that they are forecasting, there is no

365
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,639
construction. So the dates will be

366
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:22,880
extended.

367
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,160
What we have asked or we have mandated

368
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,320
uh in the construction in contract

369
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,440
documents is that phase one and three be

370
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,240
constructed simultaneously

371
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,079
before

372
00:14:36,079 --> 00:14:39,279
uh phase two can be started. Those two

373
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:41,279
phases have to be completed. So the

374
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:43,920
section between Hawkeye and Monte Vista

375
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,240
would be only constructed

376
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,320
after the southern portion and the

377
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,000
northern portion of the project have

378
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,560
been completed. Work hours are limited

379
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,760
to 7 am to 5:00 pm Monday through

380
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,240
Friday. No work on the weekends or legal

381
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,079
holidays. No night work is permitted and

382
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:04,560
one lane will remain open in each

383
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,279
direction at all times.

384
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:11,279
All lanes will be open to traffic

385
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:14,160
on Saturdays, Sundays, legal holidays

386
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,800
after 400 p. p.m. on Friday and after

387
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,360
400 p p.m. the day before any legal

388
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,360
holiday and any time that the contractor

389
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,160
doesn't have any active construction in

390
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,279
that particular lane.

391
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:29,360
With all of that in mind, we advertised

392
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,800
the project on June 23 and opened four

393
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,560
bids on July 28.

394
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,600
This is the tabulation of all four bids.

395
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,000
We analyzed the bids, reviewed all the

396
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,040
documents submitted for compliance with

397
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,150
uh

398
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,040
with the bid document requirements. I'm

399
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,759
sorry. Uh

400
00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:55,440
when we determined that the lowest

401
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,839
responsible responsive bidder was Tik

402
00:15:57,839 --> 00:16:00,639
Tok, the full name legal name is a

403
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:03,759
Tyikert and Sun Inc. doing business as

404
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:06,560
tighter construction for the bid amount

405
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,590
of 20,280,558

406
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,480
which is just about 5.9 million below

407
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,079
engineers estimate.

408
00:16:18,079 --> 00:16:20,480
So the motion before you and our

409
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,720
recommendation and request is to award

410
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,959
bid and approve an agreement between the

411
00:16:24,959 --> 00:16:27,759
city and hyper construction in the

412
00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:31,120
stated amount plus 10%

413
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,519
uh contingency in the amount of

414
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:37,030
$2,28,000.

415
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,639
Any questions?

416
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:40,560
>> Questions?

417
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,399
>> I hope I didn't go too fast. I was

418
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:43,680
trying to make

419
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,600
>> you good. Okay. So, uh, at this time

420
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,880
we'll open the public comment and ask

421
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,399
the city clerk to facilitate that public

422
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:49,600
comment, please.

423
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,839
>> Okay, we have no blue comment cards. We

424
00:16:51,839 --> 00:16:54,000
do have someone on remote participation.

425
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,600
So, if you would like to speak regarding

426
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,160
item 9A, please raise your hand or press

427
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,870
star 9 and indicate.

428
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,480
Otherwise, we will now seeing no comment

429
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,000
on there, we'll move back to the council

430
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,439
chambers. Does anyone like to comment

431
00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:11,839
regarding item 9A?

432
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:20,069
Please come forward.

433
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:23,760
Good evening. Um, so I guess the first

434
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,520
question is how's Target going to do

435
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,720
this construction for $5,5 million

436
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,679
below cost?

437
00:17:33,679 --> 00:17:36,960
>> Our costs are not guaranteed. These are

438
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,960
>> cost is 25,000.

439
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:44,160
>> No, 26 million. 26 million. Okay, 26

440
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,640
million. So, how does Tiger get 20

441
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,480
million?

442
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,559
>> That is their bid. That's how the

443
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:52,400
bidding process works.

444
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,640
>> So, their bid is well below

445
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,280
>> direct comments. Just make your comments

446
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:57,679
and

447
00:17:57,679 --> 00:17:58,880
>> he's the one that was answering the

448
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,080
question. I don't even know who

449
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,559
>> we in order to maintain a calm decorum

450
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:03,840
in the room. We don't need to go back

451
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,799
and forth. So please,

452
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:06,160
>> no, the question I'm not going to ask

453
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,000
the question

454
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,080
at $20 million is well below the $26

455
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,160
million which will cost the city again

456
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,080
an extra cost. That's what they call

457
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,640
that, right? So when they don't complete

458
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,120
a project then and only then will the

459
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,280
city be in carrying more cost. So the

460
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,480
price will be over $26 million. You

461
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,360
understand? Anyway,

462
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:36,870
nobody

463
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,240
the cost of construction

464
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,679
when you have it below the bed will

465
00:18:43,679 --> 00:18:47,919
inevitably and always goes up over $26

466
00:18:47,919 --> 00:18:51,200
million. It will always happen. It never

467
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,039
fails. They call extra costs.

468
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:59,200
And so my question again is why and how

469
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,440
is Tiger going to do a project for below

470
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,080
cost.

471
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,679
>> We'll answer the questions that after

472
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:09,919
all.

473
00:19:09,919 --> 00:19:10,640
>> That's my question.

474
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,909
>> Understood.

475
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:15,200
» Is there anyone further that would like

476
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,840
to speak regarding the item?

477
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,039
>> Seeing no further comments.

478
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:22,000
>> So Mr.

479
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,320
Can you speak to all the roads you've

480
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,559
done and what people are bidding in and

481
00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,200
how much under and how much over cost

482
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,120
are they are we putting into it?

483
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:32,799
>> A number of our projects have been

484
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:36,240
closed well below engineers estimate and

485
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,360
well below the bid that the contractor

486
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:42,640
brought in. We don't we simply follow

487
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,240
the uh public contract code which

488
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,880
requires us to publicly advertise the

489
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,440
project and award the project to the

490
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,320
lowest responsible responsive bidder. We

491
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,320
do not negotiate a contract with the

492
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,520
contractor. We do not ask the contractor

493
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,440
how can you do it for a certain price

494
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,160
because that is negotiation. We review

495
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,559
all the documents that is submitted and

496
00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:09,200
make a determination based on that. If

497
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,799
they have followed all the requirements

498
00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:13,360
in the bid documents and requirements by

499
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:15,039
law, which is all the registration that

500
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:18,000
they're supposed to have, submit the uh

501
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,480
bonds that they need to, the insurance

502
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,160
that they need to, then they are

503
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,360
responsible and responsive. That is the

504
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:27,919
basis for the recommendation. Why do

505
00:20:27,919 --> 00:20:30,240
they have a lower price? They only know

506
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,640
that. What I can say as far as engineers

507
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,280
estimate, engineer's estimate is for

508
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,640
budgeting purposes and that is based on

509
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,480
the historic bid prices of a number of

510
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,400
projects in the state. So we go to a

511
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,039
database and receive that. It doesn't

512
00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:50,640
reflect the current bidding environment.

513
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,919
It doesn't reflect three projects or

514
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:55,679
three phases being done at the same

515
00:20:55,679 --> 00:20:59,120
time. It doesn't reflect the size of a

516
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:01,280
contractor and their capability in

517
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,520
staffing a project and actually doing

518
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,559
the project in more efficient way.

519
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:08,880
Our uh estimate was based on three

520
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,679
phases consecutive and that's the only

521
00:21:11,679 --> 00:21:13,280
way we can put that together. There is

522
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,240
no way for us to estimate efficiencies

523
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,159
if the phases are done concurrently or

524
00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:22,400
in a different type of arrangement

525
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,400
because that data is not available to

526
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,600
us.

527
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,080
So we basically wait until the bids come

528
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,720
in and go through our process as the law

529
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,919
requires us.

530
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:32,880
>> Okay.

531
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,320
>> Thank you.

532
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,919
>> Yeah. Close public comment. Did you have

533
00:21:35,919 --> 00:21:36,799
a comment

534
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:38,000
>> or what is your will?

535
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:38,559
>> No.

536
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:40,960
>> Motion to approve 9A.

537
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:41,840
>> Second.

538
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,039
>> Motion and second. Will you call the

539
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:43,840
role, please?

540
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,039
>> Council member Abram. Yes.

541
00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:46,159
>> Council member Bixel. Yes.

542
00:21:46,159 --> 00:21:47,280
>> Vice Mayor Monz. Yes.

543
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,559
>> Council member Phillips. Yes. Mayor

544
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:49,280
>> Back.

545
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,919
>> Yes. That part passes with 5-0. And I

546
00:21:51,919 --> 00:21:54,320
believe you have one more part.

547
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,190
Yes. The next item,

548
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,480
» the next item is related to what we went

549
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,039
over the project and that is uh we are

550
00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:06,960
requesting your approval of amendment

551
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,440
number 22 for task order number 7A

552
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,880
uh with uh NB5 for construction

553
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,200
management inspection services for gear

554
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,120
road uh rehabilitation project.

555
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:25,520
Uh this is all in your staff report. Uh

556
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,840
but overall the construction management

557
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,159
inspection services are described or

558
00:22:30,159 --> 00:22:32,960
defined in three components. One is

559
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,039
pre-construction which as the name

560
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:37,280
suggests these are all the activities

561
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,000
that we have to do in the leadup to the

562
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
actual construction such as

563
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,240
constructibility review, fire review,

564
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,880
setting up the project, uh estimating

565
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,640
the project cost and scheduling ahead of

566
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,240
receiving the schedule from the

567
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,960
contractor. The next component is

568
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,799
construction management and inspection

569
00:22:56,799 --> 00:22:59,120
which is again this is when construction

570
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:01,520
is actively ongoing and that is to make

571
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,000
sure that we have enough oversight to

572
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,919
make sure that whatever is constructed

573
00:23:05,919 --> 00:23:08,720
is in accordance and compliance with the

574
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,600
construction documents.

575
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,440
Post construction. As the name suggests,

576
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,880
this is after the construction is

577
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,200
completed to make sure that all checks

578
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,080
and balances are properly documented.

579
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,640
All the records are complete and

580
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,159
finances are all uh looked at and

581
00:23:26,159 --> 00:23:29,200
finalized so we can accept the project

582
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,840
and also make a final payment to the

583
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,600
contractor. Pre-onstruction services

584
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,240
were approved by the council as task

585
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,360
order number seven previously. So task

586
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:45,280
order sum number 7A is in fact nothing

587
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,919
other than an amendment to task order 7

588
00:23:47,919 --> 00:23:51,760
for the remainder of the activities.

589
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,000
So that is our proposed task order to

590
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,720
you. If you're interested these are all

591
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,760
the breakdown of various subtask

592
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,600
involved in each category and in great

593
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,880
detail. Those are in exhibit W attached

594
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,640
to your staff report if you're

595
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,159
interested to get into that much detail.

596
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:14,240
So, we have a motion before you for

597
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,840
approving uh task order number 7A with

598
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,480
NB5 for construction management

599
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,600
inspection services in the amount of

600
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,440
3,676

601
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,200
80576

602
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,120
cents.

603
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:32,400
>> Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Pesh?

604
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,760
Okay. Okay, at this time I'll open the

605
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,279
public comment and ask the city clerk to

606
00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:36,880
facilitate the public comment.

607
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,720
>> Okay, we have no blue cards. Um, if

608
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,240
anyone's joining remotely and would like

609
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,159
to speak, you may raise your virtual

610
00:24:42,159 --> 00:24:44,559
hand now or press star 9 to indicate

611
00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:47,120
that you would like to speak.

612
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:49,200
>> Seeing no comment online, would anyone

613
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,799
in the public like to speak regarding

614
00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:52,080
this item? Please come forward to

615
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,320
lectern.

616
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,159
Seeing no comment, mayor.

617
00:24:56,159 --> 00:24:57,679
>> Okay, we will close public comment.

618
00:24:57,679 --> 00:24:58,960
Bring it back to council.

619
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,679
>> Did you have a question?

620
00:24:59,679 --> 00:25:01,600
>> I have a quick comment. So, you know,

621
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,360
this is this is like the last piece of

622
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:06,799
the the Gear Road project. And just for

623
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:08,320
the public's edification, you know, when

624
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,960
you look at $27 million, how it all adds

625
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,760
up, I asked Director Mareno for, okay,

626
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:14,960
break it down for all the different

627
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,279
funding sources and 75% or or more if my

628
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:21,760
calculations were included everything um

629
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,960
is not our own local dollars. You know,

630
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,200
only about 25% is measure A. So, I just

631
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,279
want to commend your staff for, you

632
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:31,520
know, using our local dollars wisely and

633
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,360
going after all the other things so we

634
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:35,200
can take on a big project like this and

635
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,039
still have wiggle room to do other

636
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:38,799
things. So, with that, I'll move to

637
00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:39,919
approve.

638
00:25:39,919 --> 00:25:41,039
>> Second. Have a

639
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:42,240
>> motion to second. We call the role,

640
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:42,480
please.

641
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,520
>> Council member Abram, yes.

642
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,720
>> Council member Bixel, yes.

643
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:45,679
>> Vice Mayor Monet. Yes.

644
00:25:45,679 --> 00:25:46,640
>> Council member Phillips. Yes.

645
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,520
>> Mayor Bill Black.

646
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,480
>> Yes.

647
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,039
>> 50. Thank you, Rod Doctor.

648
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:54,080
>> Okay. Item C, general plan amendment.

649
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,880
And I believe Oh, Miss Warernner, it's

650
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,000
not a birthday game, is it?

651
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,640
>> No.

652
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,440
>> But thank you for that birthday present.

653
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,960
>> Um, so the item before you tonight is um

654
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,720
the council to consider the adoption of

655
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,120
the 2331

656
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:14,159
um or six cycle housing element. Um I'm

657
00:26:14,159 --> 00:26:15,120
actually not going to do the

658
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:16,240
presentation. I'm going to turn it over

659
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,120
to our consultant Andrew Hill um with

660
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:21,120
Diet and Batia, the urban um and

661
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:32,870
regional planners. Andrew,

662
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,880
» excuse me. Thanks, Adrian. Um, good

663
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,720
evening, mayor, council members. Um, so

664
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,279
tonight we're pleased to introduce the

665
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:41,120
uh six cycle housing element and related

666
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:43,919
general plan and zoning amendments. It's

667
00:26:43,919 --> 00:26:45,600
been a long road to get here, including

668
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,320
multiple rounds of review um with the

669
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,919
California Department of Housing and

670
00:26:49,919 --> 00:26:52,320
Community Development or HCD. But on

671
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,400
July 3rd, the state issued a letter

672
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,559
finding that if the city adopts the

673
00:26:56,559 --> 00:26:58,320
housing element as revised together with

674
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,400
the zoning amendments, um Cherlock can

675
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,480
be found in compliance with um state

676
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,440
housing law. And so the purpose of the

677
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,440
item tonight is to provide a brief

678
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,919
overview of the six cycle housing

679
00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:12,240
element and related zoning amendments to

680
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,320
hear public comments and if appropriate

681
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,720
for the council to adopt um the housing

682
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,480
element and related general plan and

683
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,120
zoning amendments. Um I had a longer

684
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:22,960
presentation which I'm going to cut back

685
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,279
to 10 minutes or less. Um but I'm happy

686
00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:26,640
to come back and answer any more

687
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,039
questions or provide detail uh if you if

688
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:32,159
you do have questions. So let me know.

689
00:27:32,159 --> 00:27:34,880
Um, one of the core components of the

690
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,279
housing element is the sites inventory.

691
00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:40,000
It's a list of sites within the city of

692
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,760
Turlock that are available for housing

693
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,880
development during the period. Um, it is

694
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,200
how the city demonstrates that the

695
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,320
zoning map has adequate capacity to meet

696
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,240
Turlock's assessed share of the regional

697
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,960
housing need, which for the this current

698
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,399
8-year period is 5,82

699
00:27:58,399 --> 00:28:02,240
units. Um those 5,82 units are broken

700
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,480
out into different income categories.

701
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,799
The way you demonstrate capacity for

702
00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:09,520
lower income housing is by demonstrating

703
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,559
adequate capacity for higher density um

704
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:14,880
housing at 20 dwelling units per acre or

705
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,360
more. State law establishes certain

706
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:20,640
requirements for um housing sites that

707
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,279
are identified to meet lower income um

708
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:25,279
arena obligations. um they're

709
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:27,600
essentially meant to uh encourage cities

710
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,520
to put forward the most shovel ready

711
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,279
sites.

712
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:33,279
Um and so in putting together the

713
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:35,919
inventory, we first did an assessment of

714
00:28:35,919 --> 00:28:37,600
uh projects that are currently in the

715
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,520
development pipeline. Projects that are

716
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,720
permitted or constructed after June 2023

717
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,120
can be counted towards that requirement

718
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,960
for um 5,82 units. Currently there are

719
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,679
14 projects in the development pipeline

720
00:28:51,679 --> 00:28:55,679
um that have a capacity for um 1137

721
00:28:55,679 --> 00:28:58,240
units. So those were deducted from that

722
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,320
um 5,82.

723
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,320
Additionally, we looked at um under

724
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,480
current zoning, you know, looked at um

725
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,159
vacant land that is zoned for

726
00:29:06,159 --> 00:29:08,399
residential uses. We looked at capacity

727
00:29:08,399 --> 00:29:10,960
in the downtown area. Uh we looked at

728
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,799
capacity in the Morgan Ranch master plan

729
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:14,640
area and we accounted for ADU

730
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,559
development. And when you add up all of

731
00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:19,039
those things, um there's currently the

732
00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:22,799
zoning map has a capacity for uh 456

733
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:25,039
units, which is about 78% of the way

734
00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:27,679
there to the to the target. Not quite

735
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:30,799
there, though. And notably, there was a

736
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:34,159
deficit of um land that's zoned for

737
00:29:34,159 --> 00:29:35,600
higher densities that are deemed

738
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,840
affordable to lower income units. And

739
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,840
so, the housing element proposes a

740
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,919
reszoning strategy that can bridge that

741
00:29:41,919 --> 00:29:44,960
gap. That strategy involves creation of

742
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,440
a new commercial residential mixeduse

743
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,720
zone. It would apply to 52 properties um

744
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,799
that are vacant or underutilized on

745
00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:56,080
commercial corridors um in Turlock.

746
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,320
Importantly, all the property owners

747
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,000
maintain their current development

748
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,640
rights. If they wish to develop

749
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,559
their properties uh consistent with

750
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:06,000
current commercial zoning, they have the

751
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,159
right to do that. This new zone gives

752
00:30:08,159 --> 00:30:10,880
them the option to also develop multif

753
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,480
family housing on their properties if

754
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,640
they choose to. And the purpose of this

755
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,679
zone is to demonstrate um to the state

756
00:30:17,679 --> 00:30:19,679
that the that Turlock zoning map has

757
00:30:19,679 --> 00:30:21,679
adequate capacity to meet that

758
00:30:21,679 --> 00:30:24,960
requirement for 5,82 units. Um and also

759
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,720
to provide more opportunities for

760
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,880
workforce housing in Turlock that that

761
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,720
can go for service workers, teachers,

762
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,320
public servants, and other people who

763
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,399
work in Turlock and and make less than

764
00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:37,600
80% of the countywide median income.

765
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,320
Uh the four corridors where uh that

766
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,159
where the reszone sites are located are

767
00:30:42,159 --> 00:30:44,159
North Golden State, Gear Road, West

768
00:30:44,159 --> 00:30:46,480
Main, and Southlander. It's not all the

769
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,080
properties in those corridors. It's uh

770
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,159
select properties that meet the criteria

771
00:30:50,159 --> 00:30:52,240
identified by the state.

772
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,880
Um and then when you add the 4,500 units

773
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,640
that you get under current zoning plus

774
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,559
the additional capacity that you get

775
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:03,360
with this resoning, um the city would

776
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,880
have uh capacity to to meet um that

777
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,159
requirement for 5,82 units with a buffer

778
00:31:10,159 --> 00:31:11,679
just in case any of the sites don't

779
00:31:11,679 --> 00:31:13,600
develop as envisioned. That buffer is

780
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,760
important um to make sure that you will

781
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,679
always have capacity to to meet the

782
00:31:17,679 --> 00:31:19,440
state requirements.

783
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,760
Uh and this is a map of the uh of the

784
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,840
site citywide. Um the second component

785
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,520
uh key component of the housing element

786
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,919
is the action plan which is a program of

787
00:31:29,919 --> 00:31:32,159
implementing actions. It's organized

788
00:31:32,159 --> 00:31:35,039
around uh six goals very similar to the

789
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:38,080
fifth cycle element. Um and it those the

790
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,320
action plans contains 56 programs

791
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,559
that'll be implemented um over the

792
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:44,960
eight-year cycle. Uh it's important to

793
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,679
note me many of these programs uh

794
00:31:47,679 --> 00:31:49,760
reiterate commitments that the city has

795
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,519
already made for example sidewalk

796
00:31:51,519 --> 00:31:54,000
programs. So it's not a commitment of

797
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,919
new new funding requirements for you

798
00:31:55,919 --> 00:31:58,320
know 56 new programs. We've wherever

799
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,720
possible we've uh reiterated commitments

800
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,279
that the city has already made.

801
00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:06,000
Um I just wanted to touch briefly on the

802
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,080
revisions in your packet tonight. You'll

803
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,399
see there's a very colorful version.

804
00:32:10,399 --> 00:32:12,159
It's red lines of all the changes that

805
00:32:12,159 --> 00:32:14,640
were made in response to comments um by

806
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,640
HCD and then there's also a clean

807
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,760
version. Content is the same. Um just if

808
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,919
you wanted to follow along inside

809
00:32:21,919 --> 00:32:23,360
baseball and see what the changes were,

810
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,679
that's why the redline version is there.

811
00:32:25,679 --> 00:32:28,320
HCD really focused on two things in

812
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,840
their in their review. one was um asking

813
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,159
for additional analysis to demonstrate

814
00:32:34,159 --> 00:32:37,279
the viability of uh for of redevelopment

815
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:39,519
for non- vacant sites that are included

816
00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:41,519
on the housing element. And so in

817
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:43,200
response to that, we've included a new

818
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,919
appendix F that goes site by sight with

819
00:32:45,919 --> 00:32:48,799
all those 52 sites, provides um

820
00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:51,360
additional analysis and support uh to to

821
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,279
demonstrate to the state that that those

822
00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:54,640
are real viable candidates for

823
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,720
redevelopment within the period. Um

824
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,640
there's also a table of indicators

825
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,320
indicating that all of those sites

826
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,840
checked three boxes have at least three

827
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,399
indicators of redevelopment potential.

828
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:06,640
Additionally, they asked for analysis of

829
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,159
downtown development trends and the

830
00:33:08,159 --> 00:33:09,840
potential for mixeduse development and

831
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,360
non-residential development. So, we've

832
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,279
added that into that same appendix as

833
00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:16,559
well. And we did an analysis of recent

834
00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:19,519
uh sales prices and rents in comparison

835
00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:21,760
to household income to support our

836
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,240
projections for moderate income housing.

837
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,360
Um and then the second focus of HCD's

838
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,679
review was on the programs in the

839
00:33:29,679 --> 00:33:32,240
housing action plan. Um and here they

840
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,360
really focused on uh identifying uh

841
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,279
amendments to the Turle Municipal Code

842
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:39,519
to bring to bring it in line with new

843
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:41,440
state laws. I'm sure you're aware every

844
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,720
year for the past several years there

845
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,919
have been a raft of new laws. Um and so

846
00:33:45,919 --> 00:33:49,440
these programs um address uh those new

847
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,120
requirements and bring the Turle

848
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,200
Municipal Code into compliance with um

849
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,000
state law. And the second uh focus of

850
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,559
their review was on programs addressing

851
00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:00,799
disproportionate needs in census tracks

852
00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:02,399
that have a higher concentration of

853
00:34:02,399 --> 00:34:04,960
lower income residents. Um and this is

854
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,399
what the state calls affirmatively

855
00:34:06,399 --> 00:34:09,359
forwarding uh fair housing. Um and so

856
00:34:09,359 --> 00:34:11,359
there's a number of programs there um

857
00:34:11,359 --> 00:34:13,200
that address those those requirements

858
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,480
and that was another focus of the

859
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,119
state's review. Again, these programs

860
00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:18,960
reiterate commitments for the large part

861
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,399
that the city has already made as

862
00:34:20,399 --> 00:34:22,480
opposed to identifying, you know, new

863
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:23,760
programs that need in need of new

864
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,599
funding.

865
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:28,240
Um and so let me touch on quickly the

866
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:30,320
zoning amendments. Also in your packet

867
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,560
tonight is the the reasonzoning to

868
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,639
create this new commercial residential

869
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:37,359
mixeduse zone. Again, the purpose of

870
00:34:37,359 --> 00:34:40,000
this is to demonstrate that that the the

871
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,639
zoning map has adequate capacity to meet

872
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:49,040
um to for at least 5,82 units over the cycle. Um it gives property

873
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,960
owners the option to develop housing,

874
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,960
but does not requirement require that

875
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,040
they do that. in order to ensure that if

876
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,359
a property owner wants to develop

877
00:34:57,359 --> 00:35:00,320
non-resident 100% non-residential uses,

878
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,800
this zone creates four subzones so that

879
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,920
um a property owner who's currently in

880
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,960
the CO district maintains all of those

881
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,800
same standards if they want to develop

882
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,800
100% um nonresidential uses. a property

883
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,359
owner in the CH district would be in the

884
00:35:19,359 --> 00:35:22,480
new uh subzone C and that ensures they

885
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,160
have all of the same development rights

886
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,160
now. They're not losing anything. If

887
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,400
they choose to develop uh with mixed use

888
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,800
or uh residential development, well then

889
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,960
they're subject to the new standards um

890
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,720
that are in the CRMU zone. Uh important

891
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:38,640
to note, uh sites that are being

892
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,079
reszoned to accommodate a a shortfall of

893
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:45,440
um of units, as in this case, are are um

894
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,359
subject to certain requirements under

895
00:35:47,359 --> 00:35:50,240
state law. Um and all of the all of the

896
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:52,079
52 sites that have been identified for

897
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:54,960
this new CRMU zone meet those meet those

898
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,640
requirements.

899
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,640
Um this is a quick snapshot of the

900
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,440
development standards for the CRMU zone.

901
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,680
Um it uh really mirrors the um RH

902
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,320
district with a few modifications as

903
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,079
required to meet the requirements for

904
00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:12,880
sites reszone to uh to accommodate a

905
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,119
arena shortfall.

906
00:36:15,119 --> 00:36:18,400
Um state law requires that uh the the

907
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,119
general plan land use map and uh zoning

908
00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:23,200
be consistent. And so in order to ensure

909
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,440
that consistency um there's a few

910
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,000
targeted uh updates to the land use and

911
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,920
economic development that are required.

912
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,920
Essentially, we've created an a

913
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,400
corresponding land use classification

914
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,520
which we're calling commercial

915
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,760
residential mixed use. This is a

916
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,160
definition for it. And the general the

917
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,000
general plan land use diagram has been

918
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,640
updated. So those same 52 sites um now

919
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,680
have the new um CRMU land use

920
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,440
classification.

921
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,680
Um and so quick look ahead. Tonight is

922
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,920
the uh the first reading of the zoning

923
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,280
and next week would be the second

924
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,119
reading of the zoning following which we

925
00:36:57,119 --> 00:37:00,079
would resubmit um to HCD to demonstrate

926
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:02,400
that we've done what they asked the city

927
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,320
to do in the letter of July 3rd and um

928
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,000
that's my quick presentation. I'm happy

929
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,920
to answer any questions or provide more

930
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,280
detail if you'd like

931
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,520
>> questions.

932
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,160
Okay, no questions. Then I would ask uh

933
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,839
I'll open the public comment, ask the

934
00:37:17,839 --> 00:37:20,320
clerk to facilitate it. So, we have no

935
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,079
blue comment speaker cards for this

936
00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:24,320
item. Um, anyone joining remotely, if

937
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,000
you'd like to speak on this item, please

938
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
raise your virtual hand or press star

939
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,839
nine to speak. Seeing none, we'll move

940
00:37:31,839 --> 00:37:33,520
back to the council chambers. Would

941
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:42,870
anyone like to speak regarding item 9 C.

942
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,680
» Good evening, uh, council, staff,

943
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,240
community. Mil Treeweiler. Our plan our

944
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:49,680
Turlock planning department along with

945
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,280
consultants been working on this tur

946
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,280
turlock housing element for over two

947
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,520
years. The residents of Turlock are very

948
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:56,720
fortunate to have a professional

949
00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:58,560
planning department with experienced and

950
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,320
well educated staff members here in

951
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,160
Turlock.

952
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,119
On July 18th, 2024 at the planning

953
00:38:05,119 --> 00:38:07,040
commission meeting, there was a Turlock

954
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,200
housing element study session to prepare

955
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:10,800
the housing element. The housing element

956
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,040
is one of the required seven mandatory

957
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,640
elements combined in contained in the

958
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,720
city general plan. A notice by the city

959
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:23,359
that the first public review period for

960
00:38:23,359 --> 00:38:25,760
the draft housing element ran from

961
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,240
October 2nd through November 1st, 2024.

962
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:33,280
Starting that public comment uh may be

963
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,960
submitted in writing. Additionally, the

964
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,400
planning commission will review the

965
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,320
draft housing element at a public

966
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,760
meeting on October 3rd, 2024,

967
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,680
and community members are invited to

968
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,160
attend. The state responded on no April

969
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,320
30th, 2025.

970
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,400
The California Department of Housing and

971
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,240
Community Development completed a review

972
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:56,720
of the draft housing element and found

973
00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:59,839
that while the draft addresses

974
00:38:59,839 --> 00:39:02,079
uh many of the statutory requirements,

975
00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:04,640
some further revisions are necessary to

976
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,400
substantially comply with the state's

977
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,920
housing element law.

978
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,680
Multiple plans were submitted to the

979
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,000
state review and they were all turned

980
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,839
down by the state. It seems obvious to

981
00:39:15,839 --> 00:39:17,280
me that our planning staff and

982
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,440
consultant were not allowed to make or

983
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,960
present solutions to the issue of not

984
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,480
complying to the state because of

985
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,400
pressure from the city managers. The

986
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,200
city managers are at will employees

987
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,960
controlled by the current city of

988
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,680
Turlock elected officials.

989
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,520
Residents of Turlock remember that

990
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,839
anyone at this dis

991
00:39:37,839 --> 00:39:40,800
almost anything they want but that

992
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,480
doesn't mean that what they say is true.

993
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,960
This update must be passed and submitted

994
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,119
to the state for review tonight. Thank

995
00:39:49,119 --> 00:39:52,550
you.

996
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,079
» Are there anyone else that would like to

997
00:39:54,079 --> 00:39:56,960
speak on item?

998
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,119
>> Seeing no further comment, Mayor.

999
00:39:59,119 --> 00:40:01,520
>> All right. I'll close public comment. Uh

1000
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,640
for the record, uh Dr. Murphy, um

1001
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,040
tonight, if we approve this, it's the

1002
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,960
review's over or don't we have a second

1003
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:09,920
reading or something?

1004
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,359
>> We have a second reading two weeks from

1005
00:40:11,359 --> 00:40:11,760
now.

1006
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,320
>> Okay. Thank you. what does it

1007
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,400
>> um I just have a brief comment. Um this

1008
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,040
has been a very long process and kind of

1009
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,520
bumpy bumpy and ciruitous at times, but

1010
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,280
um thank you for the staff for doing all

1011
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,440
of this work for this long. And I I just

1012
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:26,960
do want to note something that's buried

1013
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,240
in the housing element that a few years

1014
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:32,640
ago, I don't have the exact date, we we

1015
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,760
mailed out like 1500 surveys to people

1016
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,720
and that is considerable community

1017
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:40,800
engagement beyond what we've done in

1018
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,200
previous housing elements. So, um I I

1019
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,960
think that's really notable and I hope

1020
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,200
that when we do this next time, we can

1021
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,880
move away from snail mail and get a

1022
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,960
little bit more in the 21st century, but

1023
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,800
um I there's a lot of good in here.

1024
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,240
There's hundreds of hours of work in

1025
00:40:54,240 --> 00:40:55,440
here. So, thank you to everyone

1026
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,960
involved. And uh with that, I will move

1027
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:57,599
to approve.

1028
00:40:57,599 --> 00:40:58,319
>> Second.

1029
00:40:58,319 --> 00:40:59,760
>> Motion in a second. We call the role,

1030
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:00,000
please.

1031
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,119
>> Council member Abram. Yes.

1032
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:02,160
>> Council member Bixel. Yes.

1033
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,119
>> Vice Mayor MZ. Yes.

1034
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:04,319
>> Council member Phillips. Yes. Mayor

1035
00:41:04,319 --> 00:41:04,800
>> Goodl.

1036
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,720
>> Yes. And it passes on a 5-0. Thank you

1037
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:07,920
for that.

1038
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,680
>> All right. Uh this is the time set aside

1039
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,200
for the general public participation.

1040
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:12,960
I'll ask the city clerk to facilitate

1041
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,720
this public comment.

1042
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:16,640
>> All right. Well, we'll begin with blue

1043
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,880
speaker comment cards. I have three of

1044
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,440
them as the first one is Sean Sheridan.

1045
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:27,030
Please come forward.

1046
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,440
All right. Mayor and councel, I'm here

1047
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,920
to uh publicly thank the new city

1048
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,040
manager regarding an abandoned vehicle.

1049
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,480
I worked with the Turlock Police

1050
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,800
Department for more than a year and was

1051
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,040
ultimately stonewalled.

1052
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,920
I sent Dr. Murphy a single respectful

1053
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,960
email and the matter was solved in 72

1054
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,480
hours. So, thank you truly.

1055
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,200
I am also here for another reason. In

1056
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,319
about 3 weeks, I plan to submit a

1057
00:41:56,319 --> 00:41:59,200
comprehensive citizens complaint to the

1058
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,359
city manager regarding the handling of

1059
00:42:01,359 --> 00:42:03,359
public records and public record

1060
00:42:03,359 --> 00:42:04,960
requests.

1061
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,880
I will request that the matter undergo

1062
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,760
an independent third-party legal review.

1063
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,440
I will also request that the city

1064
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,520
manager then publicly report to the city

1065
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,960
council the findings and actions taken.

1066
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,000
The purpose is to solve issues and

1067
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,720
identify criminal behavior so that

1068
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:24,960
specific staff can be held formally

1069
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,480
accountable.

1070
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,640
In two weeks, I plan to return to this

1071
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,880
city council and share examples of why

1072
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,680
investigations are needed. I will share

1073
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,200
one example today. It comes from P

1074
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,920
request 25-221

1075
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,160
in December.

1076
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,280
I'm holding up an unsigned

1077
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,319
uninitialed version of the signature

1078
00:42:48,319 --> 00:42:51,119
page for an already issued building

1079
00:42:51,119 --> 00:42:52,880
permit

1080
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,520
released as an official record. The

1081
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,000
signature and initials were deliberately

1082
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,200
omitted. I was recently informed as to

1083
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,920
who supplied this, but that person

1084
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,240
cannot be the one held the only one held

1085
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:09,520
accountable. The real culprit is the

1086
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,440
genius in the building that thought that

1087
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,599
was a good idea.

1088
00:43:13,599 --> 00:43:15,839
the genius who forgot to have the

1089
00:43:15,839 --> 00:43:19,760
pre-markings of the check boxes removed

1090
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,160
so that it would not be obvious that the

1091
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,720
building and safety division pre-marked

1092
00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:27,760
the workers compensation exempt checkbox

1093
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,800
that no employees would be used rather

1094
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,040
than letting the signer of the permit

1095
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,760
mark it under penalty of perjury.

1096
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,079
And instead of letting the signer mark

1097
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:40,560
as authorized agent or licensed

1098
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,599
contractor, the city of Turlock

1099
00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:46,960
pre-marked the owner checkbox.

1100
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,760
The actual signed version, the other

1101
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,200
paper I have revealed that the signer

1102
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,640
did not mark any of the 11 checkbox

1103
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,000
options on the page, none, and yet

1104
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,710
received the permit.

1105
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:15,750
Next speaker is Candace Build.

1106
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,000
Hi. Yep. I'm Candace. I'm the one that

1107
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,119
doesn't like to talk in public and I'm

1108
00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:20,240
the one that's irritated because you

1109
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:22,079
guys aren't holding anybody accountable.

1110
00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:24,400
So, we've got uh issues here with and

1111
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,400
you um u Mr. Murphy said that you were

1112
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,839
going to look into this for me and I

1113
00:44:27,839 --> 00:44:29,440
don't believe you did anything because

1114
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,000
you said that the uh Enrique did

1115
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,680
everything fine. Um if you guys have

1116
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,040
checked your emails, you'll see that he

1117
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,640
did not because if he had checked off

1118
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,160
the item, it would not be still flooding

1119
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,319
my floor. Is that enough water damage

1120
00:44:40,319 --> 00:44:41,920
for you guys to call it actually what it

1121
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,599
is? Because And then he didn't even look

1122
00:44:43,599 --> 00:44:45,599
at anything else cuz if he would have

1123
00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:47,359
This is right next to my front door.

1124
00:44:47,359 --> 00:44:50,480
This is a bookshelf.

1125
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,280
This is a closeup of the bookshelf. This

1126
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,599
right here mold

1127
00:44:55,599 --> 00:44:58,480
one section right there in the middle

1128
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,880
right there. That's what it is. Okay.

1129
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,560
You guys are not you guys aren't holding

1130
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:03,760
him accountable. And then you said that

1131
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,280
the records request was done correctly.

1132
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,720
No, it wasn't. I asked for four

1133
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:09,119
addresses. I received two. And then

1134
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:10,720
Enrique

1135
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:13,280
with that P that I have. I have uh

1136
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:14,960
paperwork showing that he has been

1137
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,760
working with my landlord for for five

1138
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,760
years. I have his initials on all of

1139
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,720
those um signoffs. And then he was

1140
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:24,240
working with my landlord together.

1141
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:25,839
There's an email trail of them

1142
00:45:25,839 --> 00:45:28,000
discussing back and forth what what uh

1143
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,520
day works best for you and what's this.

1144
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:30,640
I thought it was supposed to be an

1145
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:35,359
independent the website. Your guys' city website says that if we need

1146
00:45:35,359 --> 00:45:37,040
something with our housing, we can ask

1147
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:38,560
for it and it's supposed to be an

1148
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,720
independent. I'm sorry, but last time I

1149
00:45:40,720 --> 00:45:42,240
checked, the good old boys don't get to

1150
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:43,680
communicate together and have it be

1151
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,760
independent. They showed up together.

1152
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,280
They they

1153
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,960
coordinated their own schedules. And you

1154
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,640
know what they did? They scheduled it

1155
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,720
for the exact day and time of my very

1156
00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:54,960
first cardiac appointment. It took me

1157
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,480
four months to make it and I had to push

1158
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,240
it out again. So, you guys are allowing

1159
00:45:58,240 --> 00:45:59,920
him to actively mess with my health at

1160
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:01,040
this point. I mean, more than they

1161
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,640
already have. I mean, I don't know what

1162
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,800
else I need to do. Maybe I need to file

1163
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,480
a tort or something or getting like one

1164
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:07,760
of my own attorneys involved here

1165
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,760
because this is ridiculous the the

1166
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,200
amount of like you just are just signing

1167
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,800
off on whatever you guys want and I

1168
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,319
don't understand. And then you take the

1169
00:46:14,319 --> 00:46:16,560
word of this this uh this report that

1170
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,240
you got from environmental science

1171
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:20,319
services. Okay, I have an email right

1172
00:46:20,319 --> 00:46:22,400
here.

1173
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,319
This one right here from him from the

1174
00:46:24,319 --> 00:46:26,720
same guy and he says clearly it says we

1175
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:28,720
should we should put you on the schedule

1176
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:30,560
as soon as possible as soon as Monday.

1177
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,200
You definitely have a problem.

1178
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,000
He didn't show. I called him

1179
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,319
email from him. I had your landlord call

1180
00:46:38,319 --> 00:46:40,160
me this morning and he's questioning our

1181
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:41,920
experience. I'm sending over references.

1182
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,280
I'll call you and we'll get back to you

1183
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,839
when when that's when they've okayed it.

1184
00:46:45,839 --> 00:46:48,960
So, he's a he had stopped my attempt at

1185
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,800
an independent and then you guys were

1186
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,400
supposed to be my backup. You guys were

1187
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,079
supposed to support me because I am your

1188
00:46:54,079 --> 00:46:56,000
resident. And what did you do? You sided

1189
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,000
with my landlord.

1190
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,280
That's what you did. You sided with my

1191
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,640
landlord and you sided with some guy who

1192
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,200
doesn't even have any any uh

1193
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,520
certifications at all. And he clearly

1194
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,359
tells me it's fine. But then when he

1195
00:47:07,359 --> 00:47:08,720
comes out with my landlord after

1196
00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:10,079
discussing what kind of testers they're

1197
00:47:10,079 --> 00:47:11,200
going to get, what kind of this and

1198
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:12,960
that, he comes out with not a tester. He

1199
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,720
comes on the surface only. Of course

1200
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:16,560
it's going to say that it's dry. Of

1201
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:21,119
course. What else is it going to say?

1202
00:47:21,119 --> 00:47:33,510
>> Lesie Stokes.

1203
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,400
» Good evening. So,

1204
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,079
first of all, let's talk about the

1205
00:47:38,079 --> 00:47:40,319
fireboard that we're supposed to get

1206
00:47:40,319 --> 00:47:42,640
that I haven't seen.

1207
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,160
Right. We were supposed to get that so

1208
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,920
we could study on whether or not Turlock

1209
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,280
could get a fire chief and fire marshal

1210
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,800
of its own. We haven't gotten that yet.

1211
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,280
So I'm wondering where that is.

1212
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,800
Secondly,

1213
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,319
your words, not mine. Secondly, right, I

1214
00:48:00,319 --> 00:48:03,440
want to talk about data centers because

1215
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:08,400
the county is now being courted

1216
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,880
by lobbyists of data centers.

1217
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,680
Patterson is in it. Modesto is in it.

1218
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,640
Modesto even has a site.

1219
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,839
So I'm going to ask you again, right?

1220
00:48:21,839 --> 00:48:25,200
What's best for Turlock?

1221
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,800
Because none of you, not one of you,

1222
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,319
this is not a Democratic or

1223
00:48:32,319 --> 00:48:34,800
Republican issue.

1224
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,440
This is a people issue. And everybody

1225
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,040
here knows farmers here. So, I'm going

1226
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:46,319
to need for y'all to just say we ban all

1227
00:48:46,319 --> 00:48:48,319
data centers.

1228
00:48:48,319 --> 00:48:51,280
This needs to happen. Now,

1229
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,240
if Modesto does it,

1230
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:55,760
they still taking our water, aren't

1231
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,680
they?

1232
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,800
So, we need to do that.

1233
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,400
Thirdly, to the new city manager,

1234
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,400
welcome.

1235
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,640
However, I understand that you have

1236
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,760
military background.

1237
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,800
I'm going to need for you to stop that.

1238
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:21,109
No militant

1239
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:24,400
pushing around people,

1240
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:25,920
right?

1241
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,319
You're going to need to follow the line.

1242
00:49:28,319 --> 00:49:30,880
This is the way this is going to go.

1243
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,119
Because

1244
00:49:33,119 --> 00:49:36,160
trust me, at $1.3 million,

1245
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,559
not seeing it.

1246
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:40,480
Not.

1247
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,520
So, I'm going to need for you to play by

1248
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,160
the rules. That means your no big

1249
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,880
contracts.

1250
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,319
Put those behind you.

1251
00:49:52,319 --> 00:49:55,040
I want all of this stuff to stop. And

1252
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,760
y'all are sitting out here with we're

1253
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,839
being courted by data center lobbyists.

1254
00:49:59,839 --> 00:50:02,079
Do you get that?

1255
00:50:02,079 --> 00:50:04,400
And this needs to stop. Patterson is in

1256
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,200
it. Modesto's in it. When's it going to

1257
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,119
be Turlock? Because we're slotted for

1258
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:11,119
three of them.

1259
00:50:11,119 --> 00:50:13,680
We don't want this problem.

1260
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,359
You're going to hurt the people who

1261
00:50:15,359 --> 00:50:18,400
actually live here,

1262
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,960
right? These are your constituents, not

1263
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:25,200
mine. Yours. And it needs to happen. I

1264
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:26,720
don't need to go through all the details

1265
00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:29,359
that data centers can do because you've

1266
00:50:29,359 --> 00:50:32,079
all seen it,

1267
00:50:32,079 --> 00:50:35,520
every one of you.

1268
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:47,750
>> Brad Bates,

1269
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,920
» greetings, um, Dr. Murphy and Attorney

1270
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,400
Luchi. I hope I have that right. Welcome

1271
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,480
to Turlock. Okay, two guesses. Montana

1272
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,280
Park. Just curious, how's it coming?

1273
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,440
Went by the other day. Uh, not a lot of

1274
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,040
activity. It's been on the drawing board

1275
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,839
now for over 10 years. We've had two

1276
00:51:07,839 --> 00:51:10,079
launch ceremonies, funds committed,

1277
00:51:10,079 --> 00:51:12,559
county level, state level, on-site

1278
00:51:12,559 --> 00:51:15,200
update, etc. Goals of the city council,

1279
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,200
in my opinion, safety, essential

1280
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,280
services, quality of life. This that's

1281
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,520
part of that component. Recently, there

1282
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,280
were a lot of press releases, social

1283
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,040
media, and articles about Chick-fil-A

1284
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,880
coming. I think that's great. I really

1285
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,480
do. It's a feather in our proverbial

1286
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,520
cap. But it was quoted that Turlock uh

1287
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,760
had been fighting for five years to to

1288
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,599
make this happen. Now, I'm not sure who

1289
00:51:35,599 --> 00:51:37,839
you were fighting with, but nonetheless,

1290
00:51:37,839 --> 00:51:41,200
my point is, isn't a multi-use regional

1291
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,240
park for the historically underserved

1292
00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:47,200
West Side worth fighting for? Now, I

1293
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,200
know there's a lot of activity going on.

1294
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:50,960
These things take time. There's steps to

1295
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,359
follow, levels of bureaucracy to

1296
00:51:53,359 --> 00:51:55,839
navigate, resecuring the funds that were

1297
00:51:55,839 --> 00:51:57,680
promised, etc., etc. Staff has a lot on

1298
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,079
their plate, and I'm sure that director

1299
00:52:00,079 --> 00:52:03,119
uh Fiser already has quite a substantial

1300
00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:05,760
file on this project. Turlock has a

1301
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,359
history of doing things well. We have

1302
00:52:07,359 --> 00:52:09,280
proven that with the soccer complex,

1303
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,240
Kadetti Park, the Columbia Pool. I hope

1304
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:15,520
that that continues. Now, pickle ball is

1305
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,359
the fastest growing sport in the world.

1306
00:52:17,359 --> 00:52:19,680
Has been for several years. Yes, I am a

1307
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,119
part of that group and there's a large

1308
00:52:21,119 --> 00:52:23,839
group of folks, ages, ethnicities, all

1309
00:52:23,839 --> 00:52:25,760
parts of Turlock who are really

1310
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,359
interested and hopeful in seeing that

1311
00:52:27,359 --> 00:52:29,680
this project will occur sooner rather

1312
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,119
than later. Uh, and I agree a lot of

1313
00:52:33,119 --> 00:52:34,800
other cities in our region are doing

1314
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,400
some really nice park projects. You're

1315
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,160
probably aware of them. Modesto series,

1316
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,319
Oakdale, Los Bannis just did a beautiful

1317
00:52:40,319 --> 00:52:42,880
project uh that they just opened about

1318
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,599
uh two weeks ago. Even Little Riverbank.

1319
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:48,160
I got a minute left. I want to tell you

1320
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,520
about Nathan real quick. Nathan is 12

1321
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,760
years old. Uh he plays sometimes with

1322
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,000
our pickle ball group. Nathan started

1323
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,440
out as a junior. He is now ranked 14 in

1324
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,800
the nation in his age group. This kid is

1325
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,960
phenomenal. I call him Mongoose. That's

1326
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,760
my my nickname. He is fearless. He is

1327
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,800
ferocious. He's quick. He can beat any

1328
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,280
pickle ball player in Turlock. Hands

1329
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,480
down. He's 12 years old now. I think I

1330
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,720
think Nathan uh I believe he's in

1331
00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:20,800
Livingston. I wouldn't try to pick an

1332
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,480
ethnicity, but if I did, I'm going to

1333
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:23,760
take a guess. I would say probably

1334
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,480
Vietnamese. Doesn't matter. If we had

1335
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,880
courts here in Turlock, Nathan would be

1336
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:30,480
playing here in Turlock. And I think

1337
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,480
there's a lot of Nathans out there on

1338
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,599
the west side or in the entire town and

1339
00:53:35,599 --> 00:53:38,000
there's a lot of people that are trying

1340
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,960
to encourage and mentor. Uh it's a great

1341
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,359
opportunity. So when we talk about the

1342
00:53:43,359 --> 00:53:47,200
kids, remember time 10 years, 10 years.

1343
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,520
When we talk about our kids and we talk

1344
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,870
about time,

1345
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:53,680
I'll [clears throat] just finish my

1346
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,200
sentence.

1347
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:56,960
Uh when we talk about kids in time,

1348
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,119
remember for 10 years now, there are

1349
00:53:59,119 --> 00:54:01,280
some kids that were probably in their

1350
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,559
early ages, five, six, seven, eight.

1351
00:54:04,559 --> 00:54:06,640
They're now gone. They're off with their

1352
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,440
lives. We missed an opportunity. But so

1353
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,680
I would like to have you refocus on uh

1354
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,440
the park. Thank you.

1355
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,280
>> Well, now we move to our remote

1356
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:18,720
participants. If you're joining remotely

1357
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:20,480
and would like to speak on public

1358
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,400
participation, please raise your hand.

1359
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,280
Um or now press star nine. We do have

1360
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:26,960
our first guest, which is Ramon

1361
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,480
Rodriguez.

1362
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:32,640
Raone, go ahead and speak.

1363
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,240
>> Uh good evening everyone. Can everyone

1364
00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:37,040
hear me?

1365
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,000
>> We can hear you. It is adjusting it now.

1366
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,040
Go ahead and continue.

1367
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,359
>> Good evening, madame mayor, city council

1368
00:54:45,359 --> 00:54:48,160
members, members of the public. I just

1369
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,000
recently got back from Modesto City

1370
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,359
Council meeting online on Zoom as well

1371
00:54:53,359 --> 00:54:56,880
regarding AI data centers.

1372
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,280
It's happening everywhere. People all

1373
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,040
over the country. This is not a

1374
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,520
political issue. This is a common sense

1375
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,319
issue that having a data center

1376
00:55:06,319 --> 00:55:11,030
especially in Turlock

1377
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,440
moratoriums we need to put infinite

1378
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,760
pause and bands on AI data centers

1379
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,400
because honestly

1380
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,680
if we have a data center in Turlock

1381
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,720
it's going to ruin our town it's going

1382
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:27,839
to cost our utility bills going to go up

1383
00:55:27,839 --> 00:55:30,000
way up because

1384
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,680
the amount of energy

1385
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,400
the amount of water and the amount of

1386
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,400
land that the AI data center is going to

1387
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,640
use, it's going to ruin the charm of a

1388
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,119
small town and there's like a lot of

1389
00:55:41,119 --> 00:55:44,240
evidence, a lot of data, everything that

1390
00:55:44,240 --> 00:55:46,160
having an AI data center is not going to

1391
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,480
be a good fit for Turlock.

1392
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:53,040
So, I implore you all that use that you

1393
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,119
use all the selling walls that you have

1394
00:55:55,119 --> 00:55:57,839
on the books to tell the AI data centers

1395
00:55:57,839 --> 00:56:01,040
that they should not build because

1396
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,160
We are living in a time where land is

1397
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:09,040
limited, water is being uh running low.

1398
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,720
We are in the middle of a heat crisis.

1399
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:14,640
Climate change is happening all over the

1400
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,640
world.

1401
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,079
And you're seeing everyone from

1402
00:56:18,079 --> 00:56:20,000
Patterson to Modesto and all over

1403
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,920
California and the United States that

1404
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,000
people are that the people are saying no

1405
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,000
to data centers.

1406
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,960
Turlock as a town, we should not have an

1407
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,559
AI data center. We should focus on

1408
00:56:30,559 --> 00:56:33,200
what's the most important part and to

1409
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,480
keep our town Turlock

1410
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,680
and tell the AI data centers to leave

1411
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,240
because we do not need it. We have

1412
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:46,079
farmland. We have everything

1413
00:56:46,079 --> 00:56:47,920
and if we build a data center that's

1414
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,319
going to ruin uh the bread basket that

1415
00:56:50,319 --> 00:56:51,920
was we call the central valley. That's

1416
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,240
what we hear from Mr.

1417
00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:56,720
uh tree so many times that farmland

1418
00:56:56,720 --> 00:56:58,480
supposed to be in farmland. We should

1419
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,480
not have a data center because that's

1420
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,880
going to take all of our water. And if

1421
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,119
we do have a data center, how are we

1422
00:57:05,119 --> 00:57:06,400
going to eat? How are we going to

1423
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,400
survive? How are we going to have water?

1424
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,599
And also, it's going to put uh health

1425
00:57:11,599 --> 00:57:14,079
problems to everyone living near a data

1426
00:57:14,079 --> 00:57:19,040
center. So, people take this seriously.

1427
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,680
We should not have a data center. It's

1428
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,119
happening all over the country. And I

1429
00:57:25,119 --> 00:57:26,640
implore you all to say no to data

1430
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,510
center. Thank you.

1431
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,440
There's no additional remote

1432
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,280
speakers indicating they want to

1433
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:34,880
comment. Um, anyone from the audience

1434
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,240
that would like to speak during public

1435
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,000
participation, please come forward to

1436
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,150
the lecture

1437
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,240
library.

1438
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,040
>> Good evening. I'm Karina Medosa and I am

1439
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,720
with the Turlock Public Library. Um, as

1440
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,680
we're getting ready for school, I want

1441
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,079
to say we do have a program called a

1442
00:57:56,079 --> 00:57:58,559
thousand books before kindergarten. And

1443
00:57:58,559 --> 00:58:00,960
a lot of people get that shock reaction

1444
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:05,440
of how is that even achievable? It is.

1445
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:06,960
It's one of those if you read three

1446
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,880
books a night, after a year you've

1447
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:10,960
reached a thousand books. It could be

1448
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,960
read by anybody. Neighbors,

1449
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,920
grandparents, babysitters, mom, dads, it

1450
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,640
could be read the same book. As we all

1451
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,720
know, kids love that same book you read

1452
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,280
night after night after night. That

1453
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,839
counts, too. Every single time. Why is

1454
00:58:25,839 --> 00:58:28,240
that important? Because books have words

1455
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,319
that we don't use in like normal

1456
00:58:30,319 --> 00:58:32,240
everyday language. You're exposing kids

1457
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,640
to vocabulary. You're exposing kids to

1458
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,200
narrative skills. So, they're able to

1459
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,119
learn what's going to happen next, a

1460
00:58:39,119 --> 00:58:44,480
start, a beginning, and the middle. They learn all of that from a book. And

1461
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:45,920
most people say, "Well, why is that

1462
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,240
important?" They're two. third one.

1463
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:52,640
Anything else? Well, studies have shown

1464
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,799
if kids are read to before they even

1465
00:58:54,799 --> 00:58:57,040
reach school, they learn how to read

1466
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,040
better. They learn how to pay attention.

1467
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:00,799
They learn how to listen. And they

1468
00:59:00,799 --> 00:59:03,359
definitely learn how to sit. All key

1469
00:59:03,359 --> 00:59:05,920
skills for kindergarten.

1470
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,319
And then one thing you think, oh, it's

1471
00:59:08,319 --> 00:59:09,920
cute. It's adorable. But here's the

1472
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:10,960
thing. If they're not ready for

1473
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,559
kindergarten, they're not ready to

1474
00:59:12,559 --> 00:59:16,880
learn. They're not ready to read. They may become behind. And then the

1475
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,760
behind keeps following them up once they

1476
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:21,680
reach the third grade. And after third

1477
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,480
grade, they're no longer learning to

1478
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,640
read. They're reading to learn. And once

1479
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,319
they're behind, it follows them through

1480
00:59:28,319 --> 00:59:30,160
adulthood. And that's one of the kind of

1481
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:34,640
key indicators of success at their jobs,

1482
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:37,200
high schools, and even criminal

1483
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,760
activities. What do they have in common?

1484
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,799
Their literacy skills. So to kind of

1485
00:59:42,799 --> 00:59:45,359
encourage all of the young littles, cute

1486
00:59:45,359 --> 00:59:47,040
ones, to make it a positive, happy

1487
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:48,960
event, we like to celebrate the fact

1488
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,640
that we want people to reach out their

1489
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,640
kids. So we have 1,000 books before

1490
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,520
kindergarten. Um, at the 500 mark, they

1491
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,680
get a little bag. At the thousand mark,

1492
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,240
they get a little medal that these kids

1493
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,280
absolutely love. They will wear that

1494
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,079
medal to bed. The grandparents, they

1495
01:00:06,079 --> 01:00:08,240
show everybody. It's like straight up

1496
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,480
metal that says, "I am a reader." they

1497
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,079
get a free book to kind of continue

1498
01:00:12,079 --> 01:00:14,160
their journey. But in order to celebrate

1499
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,559
that, we are having um the Minnesota

1500
01:00:16,559 --> 01:00:18,240
Children's Museum come out to do two

1501
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:21,119
programs on September 4th at 11:00 a.m.

1502
01:00:21,119 --> 01:00:24,559
and then at 2:00. It is limited to 30 at

1503
01:00:24,559 --> 01:00:26,400
each of these. So, we are requiring

1504
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,640
signups, but it's completely free to

1505
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,200
register. And also, even if you can't

1506
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,040
make it, you can still participate in

1507
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,040
the thousand books before kindergarten.

1508
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,839
If they're in TK, you know what? They

1509
01:00:37,839 --> 01:00:39,119
haven't reached kindergarten yet, so

1510
01:00:39,119 --> 01:00:41,280
they can still apply. And that's all

1511
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,000
I've got. So, thank you.

1512
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:45,359
>> Thank you. Are there any additional

1513
01:00:45,359 --> 01:00:46,640
members that would like to speak during

1514
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:48,480
public participation? Please come forth.

1515
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:53,430
Mil

1516
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,839
Treeweiler, is getting rich and becoming

1517
01:00:55,839 --> 01:00:57,359
wealthy the most important goal in

1518
01:00:57,359 --> 01:01:00,079
human's lifetime? Do we humans have a

1519
01:01:00,079 --> 01:01:01,839
responsibility to our children, our

1520
01:01:01,839 --> 01:01:04,400
grandchildren, and our descendants?

1521
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:05,839
As adults and parents, the most

1522
01:01:05,839 --> 01:01:08,079
important duty and responsibility is to

1523
01:01:08,079 --> 01:01:10,000
plan for the future of our children and

1524
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,920
descendants. This is because our

1525
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:13,839
children, our grandchildren, and our

1526
01:01:13,839 --> 01:01:15,839
descendants are too young or haven't

1527
01:01:15,839 --> 01:01:19,119
been your born yet and can't do or plan

1528
01:01:19,119 --> 01:01:21,680
for their own future. Just for your

1529
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,839
information, I want you to be aware that

1530
01:01:23,839 --> 01:01:25,920
there is corruption here in Stannislas

1531
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,559
County. Most recently, the corruption in

1532
01:01:28,559 --> 01:01:32,160
Stanas County's Stanco that's being

1533
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,040
prosecuted now after the top people

1534
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,680
there embezzled hundreds of thousands of

1535
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,079
dollars. The building industry will tell

1536
01:01:40,079 --> 01:01:41,920
you there's plenty of farmland to grow

1537
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,960
food on. This is false. Recently, many

1538
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:46,640
farmers in the Central Valley have had

1539
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,400
to take their farmland out of production

1540
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,880
because of a lack of water. The building

1541
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,359
industry has not researched how little

1542
01:01:53,359 --> 01:01:55,599
prime farmland is still left on the

1543
01:01:55,599 --> 01:01:56,720
earth.

1544
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:58,640
Dave and the Building Industry

1545
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,599
Association do not seem to be concerned

1546
01:02:01,599 --> 01:02:03,760
about the future of our children,

1547
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,559
grandchildren, and descendants. The

1548
01:02:06,559 --> 01:02:08,640
worst part of it is some of these people

1549
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,440
may do corrupt things to make money.

1550
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,000
They may try to bribe you with money,

1551
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,400
with services for your home, or provide

1552
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,559
you with trips and other pleasures to

1553
01:02:18,559 --> 01:02:20,960
get your vote. In some cases, they'll

1554
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,359
even try to blackmail you or intimidate

1555
01:02:23,359 --> 01:02:26,720
you just to get their way.

1556
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,880
My last comment already been covered,

1557
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,839
but I'm going to cover it myself.

1558
01:02:31,839 --> 01:02:33,680
We must guard against the introduction

1559
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,559
of data centers into Stannislos County.

1560
01:02:36,559 --> 01:02:38,880
The people promoting these centers are

1561
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,400
not concerned what we uh that we live in

1562
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,000
an area with the best farmland on earth.

1563
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,559
Their concern is not what's best for our

1564
01:02:48,559 --> 01:02:50,880
children and our grandchildren

1565
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,440
and our descendants, but how much money

1566
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,319
they can make. I'm not saying that

1567
01:02:56,319 --> 01:02:58,079
there's not a need for more data

1568
01:02:58,079 --> 01:03:00,880
centers. I'm saying this is not the

1569
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,119
place to build data centers. Not in

1570
01:03:03,119 --> 01:03:05,280
Stannis County, not in the city of

1571
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,440
Turlock, and we should have a policy

1572
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,160
against it in the city of Turlock. We

1573
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,520
must aggressively fight against the data

1574
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,599
centers here in Stannislas County. Thank

1575
01:03:15,599 --> 01:03:17,920
you.

1576
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:19,839
>> Are there any other people that wish to

1577
01:03:19,839 --> 01:03:30,470
make public participation? Go ahead.

1578
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:34,160
Um on the subject of the data centers uh

1579
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:37,200
it's not something that I am really well

1580
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,480
informed about but I know a little bit

1581
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,799
um as I understand there already is

1582
01:03:42,799 --> 01:03:46,000
connection with Amazon here in our area

1583
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,039
and um I haven't looked into that just

1584
01:03:49,039 --> 01:03:52,000
heard that recently but um there seems

1585
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,000
to be an awful a lot of concern and a

1586
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,760
lot of things that are said uh

1587
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,480
that I don't know how we um actually

1588
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,160
verify

1589
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,400
how valid those things are about water

1590
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,240
use about energy. I've heard things

1591
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,799
about the water that goes back into the

1592
01:04:08,799 --> 01:04:11,280
ground and it's you know now tainted and

1593
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,760
it's going to impact us and so these are

1594
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,960
very concerning things and uh we already

1595
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,720
have issues with our water, our

1596
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,520
groundwater and all that. Uh, and I

1597
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,200
would just really like to see the

1598
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,599
council take that to heart, hear what

1599
01:04:25,599 --> 01:04:27,280
the people are saying. There's a lot of

1600
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,000
concern, way more than is here tonight,

1601
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,039
uh, about that issue. And I would also

1602
01:04:33,039 --> 01:04:35,280
like to say I'd like to not see data

1603
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,960
centers here. Thank you.

1604
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:40,240
>> Is there anyone else from the public

1605
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:41,520
that would like to make a public

1606
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:43,440
comment?

1607
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,200
Seeing none, we have one more online

1608
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:46,319
that would like to make a public

1609
01:04:46,319 --> 01:04:50,000
comment. Um L uh if you can please go

1610
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:57,829
ahead and speak.

1611
01:04:57,839 --> 01:05:01,520
Oh, can you go ahead and try again?

1612
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,319
You are unmuted. You may need to unmute

1613
01:05:04,319 --> 01:05:09,029
yourself.

1614
01:05:09,039 --> 01:05:11,599
We will wait a couple more. We'll wait

1615
01:05:11,599 --> 01:05:25,829
about 10 more seconds.

1616
01:05:25,839 --> 01:05:28,640
Okay, we're unable to hear L. Um, seeing

1617
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:30,400
no additional speakers at this time,

1618
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:31,520
Mayor.

1619
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,559
>> Then I will close public comment

1620
01:05:34,559 --> 01:05:38,240
and move on to city manager reports and

1621
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:45,589
updates. Dr. Murphy.

1622
01:05:45,599 --> 01:05:47,280
Uh, first things first, would the

1623
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,160
council appreciate an update from uh,

1624
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,480
Director Fischer on Montana Park? Sounds

1625
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:52,799
great.

1626
01:05:52,799 --> 01:05:54,079
>> I was going to ask him to give that to

1627
01:05:54,079 --> 01:05:55,839
Mr. Bates separately.

1628
01:05:55,839 --> 01:05:56,240
>> Okay.

1629
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:57,839
>> But if you if you would like to do

1630
01:05:57,839 --> 01:06:00,240
>> I think for the public maybe we can

1631
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,720
Chris if you'll come up

1632
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,640
>> and as he's coming up not to waste any

1633
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,799
time. I just I I do want to make uh two

1634
01:06:06,799 --> 01:06:09,839
comments. Uh, I think council's aware,

1635
01:06:09,839 --> 01:06:11,359
maybe the public's not aware. I was

1636
01:06:11,359 --> 01:06:13,520
proud to sit on the interview committee

1637
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,160
and I helped select the fire chief and

1638
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,319
the new fire marshal, the Turlock fire

1639
01:06:18,319 --> 01:06:21,119
chief who's here and uh our new fire

1640
01:06:21,119 --> 01:06:23,039
marshal who should be starting very

1641
01:06:23,039 --> 01:06:26,160
soon. So I played a role in that and you

1642
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:27,839
know one thing I will promise you I will

1643
01:06:27,839 --> 01:06:29,280
never run away from my military

1644
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,200
background. I served alongside of some

1645
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,200
of America's greatest heroes and

1646
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,680
dedicated public servants. A military

1647
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:39,520
leader is not also a militant leader. I

1648
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,039
try to be a collaborative leader,

1649
01:06:41,039 --> 01:06:42,880
mission focused, and I would ask that

1650
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,200
gentleman to listen to Mr. Sheridan's

1651
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,470
own comments.

1652
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:50,880
» All right. Thank you. Um I am pleased to

1653
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:52,400
see since the last time we were here, we

1654
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,319
talked about getting Montana Park out to

1655
01:06:54,319 --> 01:06:56,079
bid, you know, by the end of July. We

1656
01:06:56,079 --> 01:06:57,440
are a little bit behind on that and some

1657
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,039
of the reason for that is we've had some

1658
01:06:59,039 --> 01:07:00,240
public some really good public

1659
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:01,920
suggestions. So, making some of those

1660
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:02,960
changes and working through some of

1661
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:04,079
those things have delayed. And we've

1662
01:07:04,079 --> 01:07:05,680
also had some really time-sensitive

1663
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:06,799
projects that we've delivered to the

1664
01:07:06,799 --> 01:07:08,480
council. And thank you for making those

1665
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,960
decisions that have um once that bubble

1666
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,200
of um ARPA funds, you know, gets through

1667
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:14,319
here, we should have a little bit more

1668
01:07:14,319 --> 01:07:15,760
bandwidth. And we look to get it out,

1669
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:17,359
you know, to bid in the next few weeks.

1670
01:07:17,359 --> 01:07:18,640
And actively, and the good news is is

1671
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:20,319
we've been actively working on um

1672
01:07:20,319 --> 01:07:21,839
additional funding opportunities. In

1673
01:07:21,839 --> 01:07:23,039
fact, just yesterday, we submitted

1674
01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:24,799
another um grant application for

1675
01:07:24,799 --> 01:07:27,039
community resilience and heat and heat

1676
01:07:27,039 --> 01:07:29,440
projects looking to, you know, cover

1677
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,760
some of the state shade structures. So,

1678
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:33,359
yeah, we're really excited about the the

1679
01:07:33,359 --> 01:07:34,640
project and we we are continuing to

1680
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:38,950
focus on it.

1681
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:39,920
» Good enough. Thank you.

1682
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,559
>> Thanks.

1683
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:44,000
>> All right. And now we have council

1684
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,079
member comments, announcements, andor uh

1685
01:07:46,079 --> 01:07:47,920
future items. Council member Abram,

1686
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:49,599
>> just a couple comments. Um, National

1687
01:07:49,599 --> 01:07:51,200
Night Out was last week and it was

1688
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:52,720
great. So, thank you to everybody who

1689
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,720
took part in it. Um, I got to go to a

1690
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:56,079
couple events that were being held for

1691
01:07:56,079 --> 01:07:58,160
the first time. So, it's a a community

1692
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,480
event that's still growing. Um, in the

1693
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:01,839
consent calendar tonight, one of the

1694
01:08:01,839 --> 01:08:04,880
items that was um approved uh were the

1695
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:06,640
portable ballards that I spoke about

1696
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,480
some time ago. Um, so I want to thank

1697
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,000
staff for looking into that and for my

1698
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,359
colleagues for supporting that. I think

1699
01:08:11,359 --> 01:08:13,760
that's going to be a great uh value ad

1700
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,319
for public safety for pedestrians and I

1701
01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:17,759
look forward to seeing them out and

1702
01:08:17,759 --> 01:08:20,400
about. Um and then finally, we've had um

1703
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,920
several uh members of our fire

1704
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:23,359
department who have been deployed to the

1705
01:08:23,359 --> 01:08:25,359
fires in Oregon and the nearby ones in

1706
01:08:25,359 --> 01:08:27,520
Calvary County. So, you know, they're

1707
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,040
not if they're busy, they're not

1708
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:31,120
watching this, but to everybody else who

1709
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:32,640
um's coming back from that, you know,

1710
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:34,960
Turlock, thanks you for your service

1711
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,040
here and being away from your family for

1712
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:38,880
days and days and days to take care of

1713
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,839
our region.

1714
01:08:41,839 --> 01:08:46,880
I too would like to um shout out to the fire folks that have been deployed.

1715
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,040
Um I have some relatives that have been

1716
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:52,640
involved with fires various states. Um

1717
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,120
I've heard some citizens be concerned

1718
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:56,560
that we're sending our people away and

1719
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,880
leaving our stations uncovered and I can

1720
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,199
assure you as I know the chief has has

1721
01:09:01,199 --> 01:09:03,759
sent out that that is not the case. It

1722
01:09:03,759 --> 01:09:06,640
is um we are still well protected here

1723
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,520
in town. So thank you.

1724
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:10,799
Yeah, I'm going to start with data

1725
01:09:10,799 --> 01:09:12,319
centers.

1726
01:09:12,319 --> 01:09:14,719
So folks, normally we don't comment on

1727
01:09:14,719 --> 01:09:17,359
what gets posted on social media, but in

1728
01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:19,520
this case, an elected official put a

1729
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:22,000
post out about a week ago and concerning

1730
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,920
datas. That elected official was

1731
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,400
schoolboard trustee Mary Jackson. She

1732
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,640
posted up online that Turlock had a data

1733
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,560
center and that Turlock had two

1734
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,640
additional pending permits within city

1735
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,759
hall for two more data centers. Um,

1736
01:09:35,759 --> 01:09:37,759
hence I think Leslie that's your comment

1737
01:09:37,759 --> 01:09:41,679
that Turlock's slotted for three. I I

1738
01:09:41,679 --> 01:09:43,679
want to the public to know that that is

1739
01:09:43,679 --> 01:09:46,480
an absolute false post. Turlock does not

1740
01:09:46,480 --> 01:09:48,480
have a data center. Turlock does not

1741
01:09:48,480 --> 01:09:50,640
have any permits pending for data

1742
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,880
centers. And I and I and I point this

1743
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:54,719
out and I appreciate Dr. Murphy having

1744
01:09:54,719 --> 01:09:58,159
the staff reply to the online post with

1745
01:09:58,159 --> 01:10:00,320
the city logo because when elected

1746
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:01,760
officials post things, the public

1747
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,840
depends on that and relies on that and

1748
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,800
expects it to be true. Um, Milt

1749
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:10,080
Treeweiler, you and I agree on very

1750
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,280
little, sir, but I can tell you we both

1751
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,640
agree that Turlock is a very precious

1752
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,120
bread basket with the best farmland in

1753
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,440
the world, and I don't want data centers

1754
01:10:21,440 --> 01:10:24,239
anywhere near it. Okay. So, if we could

1755
01:10:24,239 --> 01:10:25,760
all work to get it out of the county,

1756
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:27,040
that would be great. But I need the

1757
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:28,560
record clear for what Turlock has and

1758
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,719
what Turlock doesn't have because

1759
01:10:30,719 --> 01:10:32,400
Leslie, you're right. This is not a

1760
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,719
Republican or a Democrat issue. This is

1761
01:10:34,719 --> 01:10:37,840
a humanity issue. Um, moving on. Fire

1762
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:39,440
department. Thank you for those

1763
01:10:39,440 --> 01:10:42,960
comments. Um, I know Chief Serpa, you

1764
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:44,800
weren't with us on our side of things

1765
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:47,040
back when the Cowdor fires were going

1766
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:50,400
on. Um, now we have the Gan Fire going.

1767
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:52,800
There are fire departments statewide

1768
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,440
sending resources. I did check in with

1769
01:10:55,440 --> 01:10:58,800
Chief Evans. I was informed that you are

1770
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,280
being very strategic not only about

1771
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:03,199
making sure Turlock has plenty of

1772
01:11:03,199 --> 01:11:05,440
coverage, but also monitoring the

1773
01:11:05,440 --> 01:11:08,560
firefighter fatigue issue so that when

1774
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,320
resources are being sent out and we have

1775
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:11,920
additional firefighters here at home

1776
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:13,840
that are working overtime to cover those

1777
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,280
positions that we don't run into

1778
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:17,280
firefighter fatigue uh like we did with

1779
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:19,679
the Caldor fire a few years back. So, I

1780
01:11:19,679 --> 01:11:20,880
was told that you were making very

1781
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:22,719
strategic moves and very much on top of

1782
01:11:22,719 --> 01:11:24,719
that and I just wanted to say thank you.

1783
01:11:24,719 --> 01:11:27,520
Um, great job. Keep it going. Um, the

1784
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,199
last comment I have is about the gear

1785
01:11:29,199 --> 01:11:31,679
road corridor that's coming. Um, you

1786
01:11:31,679 --> 01:11:33,920
guys, Dr. Pesh, the road doctor, we call

1787
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,640
him, he's also like our city treasure, a

1788
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,520
very humble guy. Um the five of us all

1789
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:41,760
know that two years ago we were told

1790
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:43,360
that project was going to cost 25

1791
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,920
million at at the base level and he

1792
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,760
reworked that project and got it down to

1793
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:49,520
20,280,000.

1794
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,040
He didn't give himself credit for that

1795
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:52,640
but you all know I'm one to give credit

1796
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,159
where it goes regardless of what side

1797
01:11:54,159 --> 01:11:57,679
it's on. So thank you.

1798
01:11:57,679 --> 01:11:59,280
>> Well you guys pretty much covered most

1799
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,400
of the stuff but um national night out I

1800
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,080
was able to go to Columbia Park and

1801
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,159
there was a lot of people there so great

1802
01:12:06,159 --> 01:12:09,600
turnout. Um Chick-fil-A grand opening um

1803
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:11,840
happened. Um great turn uh turnout there

1804
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,280
as well. If you guys haven't went by

1805
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,080
there, um it's it's actually going

1806
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:17,440
pretty quickly. I had some some

1807
01:12:17,440 --> 01:12:18,560
employees go there and they're like,

1808
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,239
"Oh, it's going the first day. I think

1809
01:12:20,239 --> 01:12:21,679
it was like an hour wait or something,

1810
01:12:21,679 --> 01:12:24,000
but now I think um it's it's less than

1811
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,640
that." So, um I just love to see Turlock

1812
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:31,120
uh expand and grow um economically. So,

1813
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,440
>> thank you. So, the greatest news about

1814
01:12:33,440 --> 01:12:36,640
Chick-fil-A is that it is an anchor. And

1815
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:38,719
what that means is that people come here

1816
01:12:38,719 --> 01:12:41,840
from other cities. We many of of the

1817
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:43,440
citizens in this town have gone to

1818
01:12:43,440 --> 01:12:47,280
Mantika to get their Chick-fil-A on. So,

1819
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,800
here comes the best part. This is the

1820
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:53,280
largest ever in the history of

1821
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,440
Chick-fil-A. The showing on the first

1822
01:12:55,440 --> 01:12:57,840
day, we handled it. Turlock, California

1823
01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,679
handled it. And I and kudos to all of

1824
01:12:59,679 --> 01:13:01,679
our staff who were out there making sure

1825
01:13:01,679 --> 01:13:03,840
everything was working. Even uh the

1826
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:05,760
captain on a day off was sitting there

1827
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:07,520
kept moving the pylons to make sure that

1828
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,840
there weren't any issues. It it turned

1829
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,000
out really well. And people can say,

1830
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,880
well, it's just a fast food. Okay. But

1831
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:16,960
it starts the the whole thing for

1832
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,760
economic development. We create money

1833
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:23,679
and revenue so that we can provide our

1834
01:13:23,679 --> 01:13:26,080
employees and they provide a better

1835
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:27,760
service. There's a whole structure to

1836
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,199
how this works. It's not just a

1837
01:13:29,199 --> 01:13:31,760
sandwich. So, I am super proud that

1838
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:33,840
Chick-fil-A is here and what our our

1839
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,560
group did was phenomenal. And that's how

1840
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:38,239
you do economic development. It's not

1841
01:13:38,239 --> 01:13:40,000
just one thing and we call it a day and

1842
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,920
the ribbon cutting and move on. The this

1843
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,800
is how you bring large things here that

1844
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:47,199
are going to build our economy for us

1845
01:13:47,199 --> 01:13:50,000
and not come into the streets down where

1846
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,480
we're living in our residential. Um, I

1847
01:13:52,480 --> 01:13:54,480
also want to just say that the advisory

1848
01:13:54,480 --> 01:13:57,679
board for uh the fire department is not

1849
01:13:57,679 --> 01:14:00,640
to decide if we're coming back per se.

1850
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,199
It is an advisory board to the chief. So

1851
01:14:03,199 --> 01:14:05,520
now that he's in a position, he will do

1852
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,080
like our police chief and have a group

1853
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:09,920
of people who will sit on that and as we

1854
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,080
progress through the issues of getting

1855
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:14,719
what 48 months till we get our our

1856
01:14:14,719 --> 01:14:16,960
ladder truck, all these things. How do

1857
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,520
we get there so that we get to the fact

1858
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:20,960
that we're back to Turlock Fire

1859
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:24,159
Department? So, it's not one equals the

1860
01:14:24,159 --> 01:14:26,640
other and we needed Chief Serpa to start

1861
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,400
this for us. So, he'll be working on

1862
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,640
that shortly. And other than that, I

1863
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:32,320
think we have close session.

1864
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:34,080
>> Yes, I will begin by reading the items

1865
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:35,679
