So this was a no questions asked by that program that was very successful. 178 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:23,340 We provided everyone with a $50 gift certificate from Target. So we want to think Target 179 00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:30,700 for helping us with that as well. And then of course coming up soon on Tuesday, which is October 180 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:40,700 3rd, we have the National Night Out. This is something that is always a fan favorite here in 181 00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:49,960 communities that have signed up and this allows our police officers, our professional staff, 182 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,820 our dispatchers, just pretty much the police department's enjoying with the city of 183 00:21:53,820 --> 00:22:01,040 Valleo and just go and meet with our community members. A lot of times we tend to talk to 184 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:07,200 our community when they are experiencing crisis. So a lot of times we don't get a chance to really 185 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,080 and get to know them on a more personal and understanding level. 186 00:22:11,620 --> 00:22:16,320 It's hard to build rapport when people are going through their crisis. 187 00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:21,700 But this allows us not only to go into the community, for them to meet the people behind 188 00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:25,080 the badge and for us to meet the people that we've represented in our community. 189 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,980 So it's always a beautiful thing, and we have... 190 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:58,160 And last but not least, I want to talk about the LVT, our live view technology. We have seven cameras.

We need to file a notice of exemption and then we just 267 00:28:58,270 --> 00:29:02,290 simply need to implement it and we think we're ready but we do need funds. 268 00:29:07,060 --> 00:29:11,020 So what we're hearing it seems like it's a matter of funding it at this point and then 269 00:29:11,020 --> 00:29:19,040 then do you have a timeline of one that would be able to be finalized and put in? 270 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,300 Yeah we think it probably about two months to fabricate the gates and get them installed 271 00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:25,020 to install the additional signage. 272 00:29:25,620 --> 00:29:28,120 How much money are we looking at for this? 273 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:33,040 So far, we spent about $60,000 on traffic studies and that kind of stuff. 274 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,080 And then we need another probably 15 to 18,000 to implement. 275 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,960 Most of that being fabricating the gates. 276 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,240 They're fairly big and expensive. 277 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:43,860 Trusty Young? 278 00:29:48,140 --> 00:29:53,800 So, give me a little bit of explanation of what you mean by you need funding. 279 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,840 Isn't it wasn't that's funding already allocated when we started this project? 280 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,860 I have to confess ignorance.

331 00:33:43,550 --> 00:33:46,130 Seeing now, we'll go ahead and move on to item 10B, 332 00:33:46,170 --> 00:33:50,290 which is traffic safety at BCSD school sites. 333 00:33:51,130 --> 00:33:53,790 And I believe I kinda was the one that brought this up 334 00:33:53,790 --> 00:33:58,110 And it was just, it was more at the tail end of the school year last year and then now that 335 00:33:58,110 --> 00:34:03,010 we're starting the new school year, I've seen things change and especially with traffic 336 00:34:03,010 --> 00:34:06,630 patterns, with people going back to school and getting back into the routines. 337 00:34:07,190 --> 00:34:12,430 There's always been the continual issue of making sure that our student dismissals and 338 00:34:12,430 --> 00:34:16,710 student arrivals are the safest processes and procedures that are going on. 339 00:34:17,310 --> 00:34:21,530 And I can only speak to Dan meaning specifically, I think we have a pretty good system down 340 00:34:21,530 --> 00:34:28,010 but of having a lot of things, but a lot of that requires either materials from either cones or 341 00:34:28,010 --> 00:34:33,750 pylons and out in the street to help support some of those traffic mitigations. 342 00:34:34,050 --> 00:34:41,070 But a lot of it does rely on personnel, either site safety people or people from school sites to help support 343 00:34:41,070 --> 00:34:44,350 traffic, the traffic patterns and things of that nature. 344 00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:49,210 So it's a matter of just bringing it to light and if there's any collaboration at the city and 345 00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:54,350 And the school district and VPD and things of that nature can identify. 346 00:34:54,770 --> 00:34:58,010 I think that's something that we can at least bring up here and kind of discuss that. 347 00:34:58,010 --> 00:34:59,010 I see Mayor Source. 348 00:35:00,730 --> 00:35:04,350 Yeah, I was going to say, I haven't had, I have a list of talk with the City Manager about 349 00:35:04,350 --> 00:35:06,730 because we're both going to be at a Glencope meeting in a couple of weeks. 350 00:35:07,170 --> 00:35:13,290 But I just sensed how on the topic and talking about it, wanted to flag Glencope elementary. 351 00:35:14,570 --> 00:35:21,390 We've been dealing with and talking a little bit about that blind curve and the fact that 352 00:35:21,390 --> 00:35:25,350 you've got the cars pile up at pick up time and then the cars come around the blind curve. 353 00:35:27,090 --> 00:35:30,610 There's accidents and it's kind of an only matter of time until somebody gets hit in a crosswalk. 354 00:35:30,990 --> 00:35:37,350 But I think the closure, my observation, a couple of times I've gone by, especially on the minimum days, 355 00:35:37,350 --> 00:35:42,590 is that there's more people driving to pick their kids up 356 00:35:42,590 --> 00:35:44,310 now that Penny Cook is closed. 357 00:35:44,910 --> 00:35:47,650 And so it's actually stretching back farther 358 00:35:47,650 --> 00:35:49,070 and it's getting pretty hazardous 359 00:35:49,070 --> 00:35:52,430 and there's also some more happening on the curb ramps. 360 00:35:52,570 --> 00:35:54,610 And so I just wanted to mention that now 361 00:35:54,610 --> 00:35:55,950 and we're going to have a further conversation. 362 00:35:56,190 --> 00:35:58,490 I know it's going to come up at the Glencove community meeting 363 00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:01,810 because it's just this geographic, 364 00:36:03,190 --> 00:36:06,570 it's a really unfortunate geographic situation 365 00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,570 where you've got young elementary school students crossing across walk, you've got traffic 366 00:36:10,570 --> 00:36:15,190 backed up, the cars zoom around, they either risk re-rending a car or they come around 367 00:36:15,190 --> 00:36:19,930 real fast to the other lane and then they hit it across walk with potentially kids in it. 368 00:36:20,070 --> 00:36:25,250 So anyway, I'm hoping that we can have some conversations about that in the coming weeks because 369 00:36:25,250 --> 00:36:29,650 I'm not sure what the solution is, but I'd like to at least talk through some collaboratively 370 00:36:29,650 --> 00:36:34,670 with the city and the school there's maybe just like a flashing light that says like, 371 00:36:34,670 --> 00:36:40,930 You know, caution while school pickup and like VCUSD can flash it while it's, you know, in a school pickup. 372 00:36:43,580 --> 00:36:44,400 Super tender, really? 373 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:46,920 Well, thank you for that. 374 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,960 I just want to flag a couple of schools. 375 00:36:49,060 --> 00:36:51,000 One would be Cooper Elementary and Twelve Me. 376 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,240 You know, I know there's some signage that says schools own, 377 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,140 but we know it's a wide street slightly downhill. 378 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,140 People don't go slow and we didn't have an incident last year at that intersection. 379 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:16,600 So it's something where I would look for support around maybe some speed bumps, you know going back just briefly to Nebraska Street, we do have speed bumps or speed bumps now in Nebraska Street in front of the high school and I think that does help. 380 00:37:17,380 --> 00:37:29,980 I know we want to go down the route of closing that street but for some of these other areas where we can't close, like we're not going to close to all of me, we're not going to close some of these roads but can we do some things to slow down the speed at least. 381 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,200 So, Cooper is one, and staff in matter might be another area, 382 00:37:37,140 --> 00:37:39,720 and word laws, and word laws, and other one. 383 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:46,060 We have a couple things going on at word law, one that's sure a number of cars, but we also have the area about the dog park. 384 00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:49,860 We have a gentleman who likes to get mad about that, and cars be not there. 385 00:37:50,660 --> 00:37:54,000 So, there's just a couple of sites that we want to pay attention to. 386 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,820 City manager, but I can't judge anything now. 387 00:37:58,260 --> 00:38:03,860 So, you know, looks like we will need to look at this from a short term perspective, 388 00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:05,540 as well as a longer term perspective. 389 00:38:06,020 --> 00:38:08,900 The longer term perspective will be easier. 390 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,320 You know, obviously the superintendent and I, we meet monthly. 391 00:38:13,260 --> 00:38:20,900 And so, we've committed to identifying a series of grant opportunities that we can 392 00:38:20,900 --> 00:38:37,880 jointly co-appled, co-applied for them, and solely for the benefit of the schools in terms of anything related to safety and the mobility part of students trying to get to a school, and so. 393 00:38:38,140 --> 00:38:39,600 And I think we've already started that process. 394 00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:43,100 We've already identified a couple of grants that we're going to be going after. 395 00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:51,500 But the short term is, we can get a list of these locations, we can assess what we can do. 396 00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:58,580 But once again, to the extent that there's a fiscal impact, we have to figure out what that might be. 397 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:08,900 But maybe there's something low tech that we can do, such as, I don't know what the technical terminology might be, 398 00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:18,680 where we make mark the streets themselves, with some sort of verbage or whatever the case 399 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:30,300 might be. We'll see what these rumble strips, what was entailed with acquiring them and 400 00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:34,880 then installing them. See what the fiscal impact might be. But there may be something that 401 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:43,560 can do that may be a minimal to marginal cost, but just keep in mind again, all this stuff 402 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:49,100 is going to have a price tag to it, whether it's a small $1 thing, or if it's a $50,000 403 00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:49,520 thing. 404 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,660 So we have a budget as well. 405 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,060 Yeah. 406 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:59,360 Thank you for bringing that up, and Vice President Flores. 407 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,500 Thank you, just a couple of things. 408 00:40:03,980 --> 00:40:11,260 I think a real simple fast solution that would, I'd say, have minimal fiscal impact 409 00:40:11,260 --> 00:40:13,880 would be at these sites that we already know of. 410 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,420 Why don't we just have some patrol cars out there to start? 411 00:40:17,420 --> 00:40:30,300 because, unfortunately, our staff finds that when we try to enforce rules, safety, and 412 00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:33,960 otherwise, we have belligerent parents, 413 00:40:37,260 --> 00:40:40,200 and our staff's job is not to now be confrontation 414 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:49,540 on deal with violent outbursts, et cetera, so I think when you have city authority out there 415 00:40:49,540 --> 00:40:57,400 demonstrating presence of nothing else, that tends to, it's just the same thing as 416 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:05,440 cameras that sometimes won't even work, that they're just put their, the kind of, yeah, 417 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:12,300 work as a deterrence so I think something along those lines at these troubled or these hot spots. 418 00:41:13,740 --> 00:41:17,700 And the other thing I want to mention going back to the Nebraska Street, 419 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:23,380 it took me a second to jog my mind about where, where and how this all began and if we all 420 00:41:23,380 --> 00:41:29,420 recall that the Nebraska Street closure originated from the gun violence that was occurring that 421 00:41:29,420 --> 00:41:37,180 heard right in front of Nebraska Street and the, the hopes of curbing the violence or folks 422 00:41:37,180 --> 00:41:43,880 that were promoting that and according to the feedback we got from, from the, from the 423 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:49,320 little high themselves that they noticed a significant drop in any kind of issues like that 424 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:54,760 when we did that temporary closure. So, um, so that's where that came from and that's why I 425 00:41:54,760 --> 00:42:00,560 I think that was a real push, regardless of the way the budgeting was required for 426 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:05,760 but why we felt it was so important because it was coming out of a violent incident 427 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,820 that occurred in front of the school district or excuse me in front of the school site. 428 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:11,960 Thank you. 429 00:42:12,140 --> 00:42:12,700 Thank you for that. 430 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,880 Vice President Flores, Sergeant Hollis. 431 00:42:15,220 --> 00:42:19,860 Yes, one thing that we have, we are in the workings is bringing back the safe start 432 00:42:19,860 --> 00:42:21,960 school program. 433 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,140 We are trying to figure out the best schedule with our traffic division 434 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:40,790 because you're right. Bad behavior by the community that fails to understand the importance 435 00:42:40,790 --> 00:42:49,710 on the safety of the children and why speeding or parking in the road is unacceptable. That's 436 00:42:49,710 --> 00:42:53,870 that safe start-to-school program was for. We are trying to figure out what's the best 437 00:42:55,230 --> 00:43:00,970 avenue for our schedule and we are working with Miss Selena actually as we speak to figure out 438 00:43:02,310 --> 00:43:09,330 what schools are best and when we can achieve this goal but it will be coming very soon and we can always 439 00:43:09,330 --> 00:43:17,290 add extra schools to the program. And that's something that it does address because yes our educators don't 440 00:43:17,290 --> 00:43:21,050 to educate people on the roles of the roadways. 441 00:43:21,950 --> 00:43:23,850 That's something that we specialize in. 442 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:26,200 Thank you for that. 443 00:43:26,420 --> 00:43:27,380 Are you trusty young? 444 00:43:32,590 --> 00:43:37,250 So what is the feasibility of bringing back crossing guards? 445 00:43:37,970 --> 00:43:39,550 Well, crossing guards for my understanding 446 00:43:39,550 --> 00:43:40,870 is actually what the schools. 447 00:43:42,090 --> 00:43:44,430 Well, let me give you some quick history. 448 00:43:44,850 --> 00:43:48,430 My father was trained by the police department 449 00:43:48,430 --> 00:43:54,550 to be the crossing guard at Ferragut and Sacramento Street. 450 00:43:54,650 --> 00:43:58,750 And he served in that position for 15, 20 years. 451 00:43:59,470 --> 00:44:01,070 And the police department paid for it. 452 00:44:01,130 --> 00:44:02,770 Was that when you guys had more funding? 453 00:44:04,130 --> 00:44:05,590 It's a little before my time. 454 00:44:05,890 --> 00:44:10,930 But I can do some research a little bit before my time. 455 00:44:10,950 --> 00:44:11,570 I was just a little bit. 456 00:44:11,830 --> 00:44:12,970 And I'll just do some research. 457 00:44:13,250 --> 00:44:14,670 So I don't give you any bad advice. 458 00:44:14,670 --> 00:44:26,170 But it is something that sounds very interesting, and if it did happen, we can always repeat it, you know, once I can figure out the proper one sentence. 459 00:44:26,930 --> 00:44:31,430 Okay, I think a part of the question involved somebody paying for something, right? 460 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,540 I think I heard something like that. 461 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,120 You don't have any budget for that. 462 00:44:41,790 --> 00:44:43,530 Well, you the same shape we are. 463 00:44:43,990 --> 00:44:45,370 I stay in my lane, ma'am. 464 00:44:45,370 --> 00:44:51,530 he knows he knows we are we're the same both okay well then I like excuse you for that question 465 00:44:52,510 --> 00:44:58,090 yeah yeah yeah we're actually in worst shape to you so so I can provide some shape to you I can 466 00:44:58,090 --> 00:44:59,970 provide some enlightenment on the crossings our 467 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:08,800 Well, that was actually something that triplet actually has a program for that. And pre-COVID, we actually had quite a robust 468 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:17,480 student crossing guard program. But once COVID hit, that was kind of put aside just from the 469 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:22,520 precautionary standpoint. And at least, again, we haven't brought it back. And from once again, 470 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:28,340 I think we pose up the liability issue again. Once again, once we have students going out there, 471 00:45:28,340 --> 00:45:35,160 So I think people are looking at that overall program, but to Mayor Sources point, there's also 472 00:45:35,660 --> 00:45:36,600 safe routes to school. 473 00:45:37,340 --> 00:45:43,060 So when I talk about a lot of the cones and pylons that we received over at Dan 474 00:45:43,060 --> 00:45:47,820 Mini, we actually apply for microgram and we got that awarded through safe routes to school. 475 00:45:48,020 --> 00:45:54,100 And so we can reach out to safe routes to school and salon transportation authority to find 476 00:45:54,100 --> 00:45:58,240 out of there's other grant programs that still may be available for us to get that, but 477 00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:04,940 because due to the lack of personnel, cones and pilots do quite a good job of preventing 478 00:46:04,940 --> 00:46:09,500 cars from doing some bad things out there, so that's what we've been able to utilize at 479 00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:09,940 Dan Mini. 480 00:46:10,340 --> 00:46:15,640 And I think this is where if each school site can identify some of the safety traffic hazards 481 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,180 at each of their, because each site is going to be unique and different in itself. 482 00:46:19,180 --> 00:46:28,940 And then if we can bring that to potentially a group conversation and identify that and if we can identify some like-minded interventions, 483 00:46:29,540 --> 00:46:35,540 I think something as simple as just repainting some of the crosswalks may be the simplest solution in a lot of, in some of these cases. 484 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:42,060 Because I know we at Dan Mini we've actually added a couple of like crossings for some pedestrian crossing. 485 00:46:42,060 --> 00:46:56,740 So, it's those conversations that if we can identify what might be viable solutions, and then if we can get to the point of identifying what is actually feasible from either the city and the school district standpoint, I think that's where we can make some headway on that trustee on. 486 00:46:56,740 --> 00:47:05,240 Also, another, I don't know if this is opening up a can of worms or not, but anyway, what about our size safety? 487 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,200 Are they trained to cross kids in the crosswalk? 488 00:47:15,150 --> 00:47:26,630 Because I see, we have one particular in our neighborhood, it's Cooper, we have a resident that crosses the kids. 489 00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:38,170 And he's been doing that ever since we had that accident at, yeah, to Walla-Me and Del Mar. 490 00:47:40,070 --> 00:47:44,290 Well, some of the sites that you already mentioned earlier are elementary sites. 491 00:47:44,810 --> 00:47:47,170 So we don't have a site safety at all the elementary sites. 492 00:47:47,750 --> 00:47:50,590 But I use Hogan Middle School as an example. 493 00:47:50,590 --> 00:47:57,810 On Georgia Street at the intersection, we have staff posted out there because it's pretty busy after school. 494 00:47:58,930 --> 00:48:02,990 You have already talked about Nebraska Street, love the idea, let's go. 495 00:48:04,590 --> 00:48:09,750 And then also at Jesse Belpo, we mostly take care of the main parking lot, 496 00:48:10,350 --> 00:48:13,250 because sometimes people come in there and drive fast, you know, things of nature. 497 00:48:14,610 --> 00:48:20,090 It's all about manpower, so we mostly just take care of our immediate area around our site. 498 00:48:20,090 --> 00:48:23,230 And most of the time, it's just actually on the site. 499 00:48:23,890 --> 00:48:23,950 So... 500 00:48:23,950 --> 00:48:24,550 School site. 501 00:48:24,910 --> 00:48:26,530 Media and area around our school site. 502 00:48:26,570 --> 00:48:31,430 Do we have a media and area around the school sites of... 503 00:48:31,430 --> 00:48:35,290 I say maybe Cooper and Stefan Manner, 504 00:48:36,450 --> 00:48:37,950 and maybe Glenn Cook. 505 00:48:38,230 --> 00:48:41,210 You know, there's a speed zone in Glenn Cook. 506 00:48:41,330 --> 00:48:44,270 Those people come down here like they go into the race. 507 00:48:46,100 --> 00:48:52,240 And some of the sites that you mentioned, Dr. Young, do not have a site safety supervisor. 508 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:58,460 So we are in a process of trying to hire some rover or site safety. 509 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:03,360 So basically what they're going to do is patrol the elementary sites that don't have 510 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:04,320 site safety supervisors. 511 00:49:05,140 --> 00:49:10,340 So we can allocate that manpower as necessary once we get those positions filled. 512 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:13,860 Thank you for that. 513 00:49:13,860 --> 00:49:15,720 That makes me feel a little bit better. 514 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:22,560 Any more questions or comments on the traffic safety at VCOCD school sites? 515 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,520 If not, we'll go ahead and move on to the 11 item 11 youth coordinator updates. 516 00:49:27,820 --> 00:49:31,200 I know that our youth coordinator is still on leave. 517 00:49:31,980 --> 00:49:36,460 So it looks like I don't see anybody from her office, so we'll go ahead and move on from there. 518 00:49:36,940 --> 00:49:38,160 And move on to the action calendar. 519 00:49:38,380 --> 00:49:42,500 And if Manicad Police start the two minute clock, members of the public wishing to address 520 00:49:42,500 --> 00:49:47,680 the committee on action calendar items are requested to submit a completed speaker card. 521 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:52,520 to the Secretary, each speaker is limited to three minutes, pursuant to voluminous 522 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:59,500 political code, section 2.02, 0.420, are there any speakers? 523 00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:00,340 Vice Mayor? 524 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,160 We do not have any items, I'm sorry, for the action. 525 00:50:04,620 --> 00:50:04,960 Thank you. 526 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:05,220 Thank you. 527 00:50:05,220 --> 00:50:05,840 Thank you for the brain. 528 00:50:05,900 --> 00:50:06,580 That's my attention. 529 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:11,240 So, we will move that on and then move on to the information calendar. 530 00:50:11,940 --> 00:50:16,680 Does any committee members have any information that with your superintendent or a city manager? 531 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,160 Anything to share? 532 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:25,020 Nothing other than what I, I previously shared, you know, just working with the superintendent. 533 00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:33,080 We're going to really try to be aggressive in identifying some some security safety related 534 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:39,260 Grand Opportunities that we can sort of join forces on and see what we can win. 535 00:50:40,300 --> 00:50:41,280 Thank you for that. 536 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:51,140 Yeah, so recently we put out a press release and there was also an article on the paper, we are in the process of forming a strategic planning committee. 537 00:50:52,220 --> 00:50:56,740 We want a robust committee that represents the majority of our schools, but also the community. 538 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:02,520 So we're hoping we can get some community members applying to sit on the committee. 539 00:51:03,020 --> 00:51:05,640 Right now we're scheduled for four meetings. 540 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:14,120 So we're going to commit the committee to four, starting in October on the 21st of October, November 10th. 541 00:51:14,220 --> 00:51:15,680 I'm trying to do this from memory. 542 00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,840 I know that we have January and February. 543 00:51:18,420 --> 00:51:20,300 Those exact dates are on our website. 544 00:51:21,460 --> 00:51:24,540 There would be a 530 PM, 530 to 8th. 545 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,300 There would be in person at the district office. 546 00:51:28,140 --> 00:51:30,980 And we have significant work to do and accomplish. 547 00:51:31,180 --> 00:51:34,400 It is time to refresh our strategic plan. 548 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:39,440 and the goal is to really get a pulse of the community and what they want in 549 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:40,720 Baleo schools. 550 00:51:41,940 --> 00:51:44,800 Excellent, thank you for that, any other committee reports, anyone? 551 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:50,140 Just throw in Mike to sense here and so the fact that we started our new school year 552 00:51:50,140 --> 00:51:55,160 back in August, I want to recommend and highly encourage a lot of the community members, especially 553 00:51:55,160 --> 00:52:00,960 the parents, to participate in your PTA and a lot of the school site events to provide 554 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:06,160 your voices and input and to help to how to support your specific school 555 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:14,260 site for your students because after the school district would be very much in a 556 00:52:14,260 --> 00:52:18,180 better place if they could have more parent input to provide some guidance for 557 00:52:18,180 --> 00:52:23,120 some of the if some of the areas that they may not be aware of. So recommend a 558 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:27,880 lot of those for that further participation which is kind of similar to what 559 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,540 we as a city encourages to get. 560 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,600 We've involved with a lot of the school board meetings and also, in our case, a lot of the city council meetings 561 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:40,640 to help provide some direction for us as council members. For some events that recently happened, 562 00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:46,020 I know city manager Black and I, we had the opportunity and the honor to actually attend 563 00:52:46,020 --> 00:52:53,440 the California League of Cities conference this past, I think, what it was it two weeks ago. And from 564 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:58,780 In that conference, I attended quite a few youth sessions, and one of the things that was 565 00:52:58,780 --> 00:53:05,640 very evident was the city of Villayos is one of the unique opportunities where there's 566 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:06,840 actually a two-by-two committee. 567 00:53:07,260 --> 00:53:11,940 When I bring this up, a lot of these conferences, many schools, many cities, don't have 568 00:53:11,940 --> 00:53:16,720 a two-by-two where the school district and the city council actually collaborate on things. 569 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,720 So the fact that this is what probably our third or fourth year is going for this two-by-two, 570 00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:26,780 I think this is a great opportunity for us as a city along with the school district to collaborate 571 00:53:26,780 --> 00:53:32,060 on like-minded opportunities and to speak to a lot of things that have moved forward in a 572 00:53:32,060 --> 00:53:37,200 positive way. Obviously with the issues over in Nebraska-Screte, that actually came from this 573 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:43,160 particular body here. So without this body convening together and having these conversations, 574 00:53:43,860 --> 00:53:49,680 those road mitigations and the soon-to-be gates along Nebraska probably wouldn't be 575 00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,300 wouldn't have happened up to this point. 576 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,100 And so a lot of the safety issues wouldn't have been brought up. 577 00:53:54,220 --> 00:53:59,400 So I think this is a great opportunity for us to take advantage of this opportunity that 578 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:06,240 this body has the ability to work together and superintendent and the city manager. 579 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:11,280 I've always had these conversations that the school district and the city are basically 580 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:12,180 on parallel paths. 581 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:13,420 We are both struggling. 582 00:54:13,780 --> 00:54:19,660 I'm having financial challenges, but through all of that we always do end up coming 583 00:54:19,660 --> 00:54:22,560 out on the other side, but bigger and better. 584 00:54:23,060 --> 00:54:28,140 And so I think that's the opportunity for once again, that we working together here in a collaborative 585 00:54:28,140 --> 00:54:31,480 way that we both as a city and a school district can move forward. 586 00:54:33,100 --> 00:54:35,100 So, Superintendent, are you feeling that you have anything else to add? 587 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:41,880 I do want to add some exciting news that can impact not only the school district, but also 588 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:48,300 the city of Bale, which is back in June, late June as part of this assembly-built trailer 589 00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:50,260 We'll try the liberal AB-150. 590 00:54:51,140 --> 00:54:51,220 Closer. 591 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:52,440 Better? 592 00:54:54,260 --> 00:54:56,180 I can't tell if I'm supposed to lean or not. 593 00:54:57,860 --> 00:54:57,900 Yeah. 594 00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:58,560 All right. 595 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:04,180 So back in June, Assembly Bill 150 was put into law, which 596 00:55:04,180 --> 00:55:10,300 for the city of Ale, because of our unduplicated count 597 00:55:10,300 --> 00:55:11,260 in our school district. 598 00:55:11,380 --> 00:55:14,620 So we're considered 88.2% of unduplicated. 599 00:55:14,900 --> 00:55:18,280 That's your foster youth, your socioeconomic 600 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:26,700 the disadvantage that threshold being above 80% gives any resident of the city of the layout 601 00:55:26,700 --> 00:55:32,140 or employee within the boundaries of the layout access to free preschool, 602 00:55:34,740 --> 00:55:35,860 which is huge 603 00:55:35,860 --> 00:55:47,000 and there is no income level requirement it started so that has a potential impact for both 604 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,920 organizations especially when we recruit employees. 605 00:55:52,660 --> 00:55:54,000 So that's only 606 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,880 below in all of us a lot of county we're district wide know that they're 607 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:03,920 district in Slottle County has access to that level. So that's a big one. 608 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,340 That sounds like a great recruiting tool right there to add that and I'm 609 00:56:08,340 --> 00:56:11,600 trusting that I see Selena they're adding getting ready to I see you are probably 610 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:16,240 hopefully writing that down adding it to a lot of the the upcoming job 611 00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:20,580 things and things of that nature and I'm thinking the city of Alail, probably doing the same city manager 612 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:30,980 black? No, no, no. No, this goes back to the earlier discussion. Director, job. Do you want to talk 613 00:56:30,980 --> 00:56:33,120 about what you just sent me? 614 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,520 Sure, I just want to let you know that we already have a ATMO administration 615 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:45,840 with traffic maintenance order for Glen Cove to install flashing signs on that place where people 616 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:50,960 stack up, so where that situation, still driver behavior is part of it, you know, and police 617 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,080 enforcement definitely helps people do that better. 618 00:56:54,580 --> 00:56:59,260 And then on top of that, just for a budgetary number, so speed tables, we have been installing 619 00:56:59,260 --> 00:57:03,160 speed tables throughout the city, they're fairly popular, they're about $10,000 a copy. 620 00:57:03,700 --> 00:57:08,440 So they're not cheap, but they are fairly effective and popular, call me strategy. 621 00:57:09,100 --> 00:57:12,200 And so if the school district wants to let them know where they would like us to plant them, 622 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:13,760 then we would be happy to try to schedule that. 623 00:57:15,780 --> 00:57:18,280 Where these expenditures are part of the budget? 624 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,880 We have some, but we have some money identified for traffic calming. 625 00:57:23,500 --> 00:57:27,000 So yeah, there is about $100,000 left in the speed table budget. 626 00:57:27,540 --> 00:57:30,320 We have asked the public to nominate where they want those to get planted. 627 00:57:31,220 --> 00:57:34,500 So we have definitely listened to your opinions on that very sincerely as well. 628 00:57:34,700 --> 00:57:35,680 What about the flashing lights? 629 00:57:36,660 --> 00:57:39,500 That was just something we needed to do just for safety. 630 00:57:39,500 --> 00:57:43,860 So we have a standing budget for signed replacements and things like that. 631 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:44,680 That's not terrible expensive. 632 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:48,740 The reason I'm asked is because we kept hearing the budget. 633 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:49,720 It's out of our budget. 634 00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:50,800 We don't have money. 635 00:57:52,940 --> 00:57:59,640 So what he's not saying is that the breaking light as well as the speed tables. 636 00:57:59,660 --> 00:58:02,780 He says he's got enough to maybe do 10 for the city. 637 00:58:03,220 --> 00:58:08,100 So that's really a city council decision to determine from a public policy standpoint 638 00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:10,820 where they might like for them to go. 639 00:58:11,580 --> 00:58:14,580 So that's really, he didn't, he didn't share that part with you. 640 00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:19,000 It's not, it's not really his authority to unilaterally decide 641 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,320 with a put a speed table. 642 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,760 Whatever the speed bump thing. 643 00:58:24,300 --> 00:58:27,180 If you sound like he was asking us where we want to go. 644 00:58:27,860 --> 00:58:29,480 So my mistake for when I'm hearing. 645 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,900 Yeah, no, I'm not, I'm not offering to put one everywhere where you want it. 646 00:58:32,900 --> 00:58:35,580 But the more, the more places we know where people want them, 647 00:58:35,580 --> 00:58:38,060 the more we'll be able to budget for it next year and make it happen. 648 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,380 So, so we clear, we understand. 649 00:58:45,580 --> 00:58:45,620 Yeah. 650 00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:46,360 Yeah, okay. 651 00:58:46,820 --> 00:58:46,960 Okay. 652 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:48,560 Money can be found. 653 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:49,980 Trustee Young. 654 00:58:50,980 --> 00:58:51,000 And. 655 00:58:51,980 --> 00:58:53,400 And where are the. 656 00:58:53,940 --> 00:58:54,480 Doctor, go. 657 00:58:54,980 --> 00:58:55,220 If you. 658 00:58:56,300 --> 00:58:58,560 We have one more question for you. 659 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,260 And where are the where are these flashing lights going to be installed? 660 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,340 Also Glencoe Parkway going down the hill. 661 00:59:05,340 --> 00:59:26,180 There's a curve there that's kind of got bad sight distance, and then the car is queue up at the bottom of the hill for the school, and so we're going to put up flashing signs as attention, you know, stop cars ahead, you know, I forget the exact wording, but art, you know, we do have a what's called an ATMO plan to install those signs with the flashing bacon on top just to get their attention. 662 00:59:26,780 --> 00:59:31,830 So who's going to pull people accountable coming down the hill? 663 00:59:32,510 --> 00:59:33,750 That would be the police department. 664 00:59:33,750 --> 00:59:35,950 In case they don't know, the sign means stuff. 665 00:59:37,830 --> 00:59:43,430 I mean, I'm asking all these questions because of the fact that there's a lot of people that just don't care. 666 00:59:44,270 --> 00:59:44,710 Exactly. 667 00:59:45,830 --> 00:59:49,290 So there's a, I don't want to go too long, but there's the Swiss cheese model of safety, right? 668 00:59:49,470 --> 00:59:53,710 So you have engineering controls, institutional controls, and management controls. 669 00:59:54,310 --> 00:59:59,630 Engineering controls are things like speed tables, and making the road narrower, so people just don't feel like they drive fast. 670 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:11,420 The institutional controls are speed limit signs and traffic laws and things like that. And then there's management controls, and that's the police. And so you've got to have all three of those working in concert to make sure you provide safety. 671 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:13,260 Thank you. 672 01:00:13,660 --> 01:00:14,280 Mayor Source. 673 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:25,760 Yeah, it's kind of, I was going to say as first of all on the Glencove, it sounds like you already did what I was going to suggest, probably using the funding I was going to suggest, so thank you. 674 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:33,620 Um, that's great. And as someone that drives down that road, uh, it is a, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's rough. 675 01:00:33,860 --> 01:00:42,200 So just having a flashing sign will help a lot of people because you don't, if, if you're not picking up or dropping off a kid, you do not know when school. 676 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,580 Drop office and you come around the curb. You can be going 20 miles an hour and you will still have to slam on your brakes. 677 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,200 I do think it'll make a difference and I appreciate it. Um, yeah. 678 01:00:52,570 --> 01:01:01,890 Thank you for that.
