1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,360
All right, we're going to reconvene into open session, roll call.

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:18,340
We'll go into announcements. Oh, yeah, this and this way announcements. City council met in closed session with respect to the items on the closed session agenda, and there is no reportable action that concludes the report.

3
00:00:22,780 --> 00:00:24,320
Thank you.

4
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,540
I'm adjourned in close session and call the order regular session at 6'10 pm.

5
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:34,700
Council Member Moore.

6
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:35,820
Here.

7
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,360
Council Member Moore of Edo.

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:37,820
Here.

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:38,900
Council Member Neg.

10
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:39,640
Here.

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,280
Mayor Pro Temmarkez.

12
00:00:41,420 --> 00:00:41,500
Here.

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:42,660
Mayor D. Filippo.

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:43,020
Here.

15
00:00:45,650 --> 00:00:46,010
All right.

16
00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:47,510
We have flag salute.

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,020
Did we get anyone?

18
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:50,460
Okay.

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,360
I'm trying to see who's here.

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,000
Oh, it's done here?

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:00:59,400
Oh.

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,080
Don Saunders.

23
00:01:01,220 --> 00:01:03,420
Will you please help us with the flag salute?

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,820
Please remain standing after the flag suit for a moment of silent reflection.

25
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:48,480
All right, that brings us to presentations.

26
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:53,720
So first we have a proclamation for DMV Donate Life, April 20, 25.

27
00:02:13,650 --> 00:02:14,110
Hi there.

28
00:02:14,570 --> 00:02:17,170
So, you want to go ahead and explain to us?

29
00:02:18,210 --> 00:02:21,150
Yeah, so I'll give a little bit background about myself and what this is all about.

30
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:22,570
So my name is Erica.

31
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:26,170
I've lived in this area since 1989 with my family.

32
00:02:26,170 --> 00:02:30,590
I also had been a teacher in the Lake Elson Unified School District, primarily a terracotta

33
00:02:30,590 --> 00:02:32,930
middle school for about 20 years before I retired.

34
00:02:33,730 --> 00:02:39,070
I'm also a heart transplant recipient, and I'm one of your local one legacy ambassadors.

35
00:02:39,470 --> 00:02:45,070
And what one legacy is, is a OPO, it's one of the four OPO's in the state of California.

36
00:02:45,510 --> 00:02:49,510
We are the liaison between transplant centers and the hospitals.

37
00:02:49,970 --> 00:02:54,110
We are the ones that deal with all the, for organising tissue donation and so forth.

38
00:02:54,110 --> 00:02:58,550
So I'm going to share a little bit about the benefits of organising tissue donation.

39
00:02:59,290 --> 00:03:06,670
But on behalf of one legacy alongside with our partnership with the DMV, we want to extend our gratitude and appreciation for

40
00:03:06,670 --> 00:03:12,030
the City of Baltimore continually issuing the DMV Donate Life Month Proclamation every year.

41
00:03:12,950 --> 00:03:13,710
It means a lot.

42
00:03:14,030 --> 00:03:16,870
I've been doing this since 2019 with you guys.

43
00:03:17,450 --> 00:03:21,750
So it's really nice because it's actually allowing the word to get and

44
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:25,190
awareness out there about the benefits and the needs for

45
00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:27,910
organine tissue donation, especially for many community members.

46
00:03:28,310 --> 00:03:30,190
We have a lot of donor families living here.

47
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:32,190
We have a lot of recipients living here.

48
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:35,950
We also have a lot of residents finding out their need of a

49
00:03:35,950 --> 00:03:38,110
life-saving organ or they're not going to make it.

50
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:40,810
You also have residents who need healing.

51
00:03:41,390 --> 00:03:43,450
Maybe they tore an ACL and need that replace.

52
00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:44,690
That's from an organ donor.

53
00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:47,970
Maybe you're a cardiac patient and need a heart valve.

54
00:03:48,450 --> 00:03:50,670
The TAVAR procedure, some of our local hospitals.

55
00:03:51,150 --> 00:03:52,770
that requires an organ donor.

56
00:03:53,290 --> 00:03:58,470
So, Lena is to say, organ donation impacts quite a few people in this neighborhood.

57
00:03:59,570 --> 00:04:03,410
And me specifically, I would not be here without a heart transplant.

58
00:04:03,850 --> 00:04:05,570
I was a teacher at East of 2016.

59
00:04:06,290 --> 00:04:08,950
I didn't have a history of heart failure, congenital defect.

60
00:04:09,470 --> 00:04:11,190
You just never know when something's going to happen.

61
00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:13,770
And I had some illnesses happening.

62
00:04:14,230 --> 00:04:15,270
No big deal, right?

63
00:04:15,470 --> 00:04:16,810
Come to find out it's having heart attack.

64
00:04:17,610 --> 00:04:19,230
People live with heart attacks all the time.

65
00:04:19,230 --> 00:04:21,090
but then that triggered into cardiac arrests.

66
00:04:21,910 --> 00:04:27,290
I went into four times and transferred to another hospital, had various open heart

67
00:04:27,290 --> 00:04:28,350
surgeries not responding.

68
00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:34,790
My heart rate, four hundreds, so imagine doing exercise in your heart rate, sit in 400.

69
00:04:35,570 --> 00:04:37,490
So that would throw me into cardiac arrest.

70
00:04:38,410 --> 00:04:39,590
And so they were going to do an ablation.

71
00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:45,750
Body said nope, stroke went blind, couldn't speak, had a priest brought him from my last

72
00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:45,990
rights.

73
00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:49,370
I was sent into Cedar Sinai with the intent of having a heart transplant.

74
00:04:49,970 --> 00:04:52,050
But I had to be put on life support and sent off an ECMO.

75
00:04:52,170 --> 00:04:55,630
They put me on an LVADS machine, a little motor put on the heart with a dry line down the

76
00:04:55,630 --> 00:04:59,770
center and out of my sight and you plug it into the wall as a bridge to transplant.

77
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,320
I got the call, Easter of 2017.

78
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:28,280
My donor, Dylan, he was 19 years old, a Cal Baptist university student on his way home for Easter when he got a little fender banner. While he was waiting for a tow truck, traffic backed up, truck decided he'd need to get somewhere, went down that emergency lane and hit his cart 65 miles an hour. He was a registered donor, he was my match, so I didn't understand what organ donation means with match. I was upset that in 19 year old, I had a 19 year old heart.

79
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,740
Why didn't they give it to another child?

80
00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:36,840
But the way the organ donation works is it's match, antibodies, blood type, size, all

81
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:37,460
kinds of things.

82
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,660
You know, if there's cancer cells and something, you can't have that heart.

83
00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:43,660
So a lot of factors go in and he was my only match.

84
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,240
So I'm appreciative of that.

85
00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:51,980
He saved five lives, mine included 213 tissue samples just from one donor.

86
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,840
So we're very appreciative of organ donation increasing the awareness.

87
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:04,980
We are seeing because City, World of Mar, and a lot of the other local cities are continually raising awareness about organ donation.

88
00:06:05,260 --> 00:06:07,920
We've seen an incredible increase in records.

89
00:06:08,740 --> 00:06:12,500
So on the slide up there in the middle, there's some actually current data.

90
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:13,940
I broke it down.

91
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,680
The middle slide is actually one legacy.

92
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:19,680
One legacy handles seven counties in Southern California minus San Diego.

93
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:28,100
So out of in 2024 there was 740 donors and 1,941 transplants.

94
00:06:28,340 --> 00:06:33,740
So those many donors and that's many transplants, which is incredible because actually that's a 77% increase.

95
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:43,000
Nationwide lower middle, it was 48,149 last year, year before it was 46,000 so again it increased.

96
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:53,680
But data California overall, we did 5,261 transplants, but the year before was 5,290.

97
00:06:53,940 --> 00:06:58,060
We're going down, but yet in our area, we went up.

98
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:04,280
So you got to think about, we did 2,000 transplants in the state of California, did 5,000.

99
00:07:04,420 --> 00:07:07,880
So we're pretty good percentage here because of the awareness.

100
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,740
The transplant list right now is 104,000, the year before was 103.

101
00:07:13,260 --> 00:07:17,220
You figured nationwide they did almost 50,000 transplants.

102
00:07:17,340 --> 00:07:19,540
Why aren't we down to 50,000 on the wait list?

103
00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:24,840
Because, and then I'm sure, I don't know if you'll read the proclamation, but there's

104
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,420
like an average of seven people passing away every day, waiting for a life-saving organ and

105
00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:32,220
just as many, if not more, being added to the list.

106
00:07:32,220 --> 00:07:38,120
I actually know of a few, I did the Women's Health Expo a couple of weeks ago, and I had

107
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:44,880
a couple women come up to me saying that they need, one need a liver, one need a kidney,

108
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,260
and if you look at the overall weight list, 23,000 are waiting in California, and if only

109
00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:55,320
doing 5,000 transplants, but we have 23,000, number one is kidney and livers.

110
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,520
Most doctors are now telling patients that if in order for them to survive, because you

111
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,640
You got to remember, in order for you to need an organ, you're hanging on death

112
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:03,960
store.

113
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,900
So they're being told to move out of state.

114
00:08:07,660 --> 00:08:13,640
So I like to raise that awareness that if you are an organ donor, thank you.

115
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,680
If not, please consider it, because the benefits of it, I've talked about being a stroke.

116
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,020
Lower left picture.

117
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,540
I do a goal every year.

118
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,020
Now, on the 19th, I will be celebrating eight years post-transplant.

119
00:08:27,020 --> 00:08:33,240
I did my first 5K last year at the Donate Life Run walk and behind me there's a lady holding

120
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,420
her hand up like this.

121
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,760
That is my donor's mom.

122
00:08:35,860 --> 00:08:37,340
I met her Easter of 2018.

123
00:08:38,180 --> 00:08:39,900
She's holding a felt finger number one.

124
00:08:40,060 --> 00:08:45,320
She met me at the finish line and I mean, we do a lot of things together and she totally

125
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,240
sees me as a silver lining to a tragedy.

126
00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:52,100
So I encourage those of you who maybe had doubts.

127
00:08:52,220 --> 00:08:54,180
There's a lot of myths going on there on social media.

128
00:08:54,180 --> 00:08:59,080
These are facts, so please consider it, but I thank you.

129
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Thank you, Erica.

130
00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:06,210
And you are silver lining.

131
00:09:06,490 --> 00:09:08,490
And so thank you for your passion, your advocacy on this.

132
00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:11,310
And I personally know people who have had transplants

133
00:09:11,310 --> 00:09:13,830
and have benefited from donations.

134
00:09:14,210 --> 00:09:16,590
So thank you for bringing awareness and passion to this.

135
00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:17,830
And so I'll just-

136
00:09:17,830 --> 00:09:21,790
Just a last part of that.

137
00:09:21,870 --> 00:09:24,530
That didn't recognition of national donate life month.

138
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:30,010
This month of April 2025 is hereby proclaim DMV Donate life month in the city of

139
00:09:30,010 --> 00:09:34,890
Voldemort and in doing so we encourage all Californians to check yes online when

140
00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:39,030
applying for or renewing the driver's license or ID card at the DMV.

141
00:09:39,410 --> 00:09:40,150
Thank you.

142
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,700
Some of you might be wondering about the pig.

143
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,760
I was a teacher and my students all the way from 1999 came to visit me.

144
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,760
They helped me pull me out of the wheelchair on my recovery and some of them brought this teaching

145
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,980
language I used to pick with wings making pigs fly and they hit home to me at home.

146
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:19,100
How important organ, how they saw organ donation affecting me, that they actually found this to give to me. So they're telling me that, you know, and this is why I share it that the impossible is possible. And every person in this room has the ability to help make pigs fly. So I always bring this. Thank you very much. Thank you. Yeah.

147
00:10:32,060 --> 00:10:36,840
Maybe in the middle. Actually move that way.

148
00:11:03,950 --> 00:11:07,630
So first, we're going to show a video from last Saturday's Earth Day event.

149
00:11:24,180 --> 00:11:25,140
Thank you to the volunteers.

150
00:11:30,030 --> 00:11:32,670
So I was

151
00:12:16,250 --> 00:12:20,870
a great video of an even greater day, Earth Day.

152
00:12:21,050 --> 00:12:24,430
So we'll talk about that later in council communications, but it was a great day.

153
00:12:24,650 --> 00:12:29,290
And so we have, this is volunteer month.

154
00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:36,130
And so we're here to present to some of our volunteers some certificates and so I'm

155
00:12:36,130 --> 00:12:40,730
just going to read the list of names and if you want to come up and then I'll give you

156
00:12:40,730 --> 00:12:45,190
guys the certificates if you don't mind kind of sorting it out if that's okay.

157
00:12:46,050 --> 00:12:54,910
So I'm going to Alejandro and Dylan Perez and White, Chanel and Easy Santos, Chris

00:13:26,450 --> 00:13:31,910
Williams, Wilmattox, Lisa Ballard, Tim Underdown, Carrie Gardner, Victor, and Logan Morales,

163
00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:34,050
Adrian Fisher.

164
00:13:34,950 --> 00:13:38,110
And Mayor, I just want to add, so we also have Dawn Saunders here.

165
00:13:38,390 --> 00:13:38,970
Dawn Saunders?

166
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:43,470
And if we'll get certificates, if we don't have, I know a high-d engine net, we're fiercely

167
00:13:43,470 --> 00:13:46,070
typing, don't come on down, is there anyone else out there?

168
00:13:46,530 --> 00:13:49,930
And then I do want to mention, most of these people are Wilmarine Bukesh volunteers, but

169
00:13:49,930 --> 00:13:54,590
we have Jennifer Balland, she's the volunteer group of cops for kids for a couple years now.

170
00:13:54,590 --> 00:14:01,330
despite even having some health issues, and she pushed through and has been doing a great job on our golf tournament, and then we have,

171
00:14:02,230 --> 00:14:05,230
there's also some Baltimore Little League folks that we're volunteering to.

172
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:17,320
Thank you so much for all of your many hours of service to our city and our community, and we're a better community because of your service, so thank you so much.

173
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,760
Why they're sitting down, I just want to mention, we did feel to see in our roll-offs.

174
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,720
We had 300 volunteers on Saturday cleaning our community, we cleaned 10 miles.

175
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:59,960
All of Mr. Trill, all of Palomar and Grant, it was a great turnout, great weather, we want to thank all of you.

176
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:04,880
All right.

177
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:31,660
So department report, so you have public works engineering, department report, presented by Jason Farrag. Good evening, mayor, members of the city council. This will hopefully be a brief report, just a few quick updates on a few of our active construction projects. Next slide, please. So we'll touch on the Palomar widening project, the flood control.

178
00:15:31,660 --> 00:15:40,720
Basin project on Monavista, one of the development projects, the Bunnikanian Plaza project, and then a couple maintenance and operations items.

179
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:43,320
Next slide, please.

180
00:15:44,420 --> 00:15:50,960
So on our CIP projects, we obviously have the Palomar and Cemetery Improvement project ongoing.

181
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:58,340
We had a little bit of a rain delay over the last few weeks, so originally we were expecting construction completion in November.

182
00:15:58,340 --> 00:16:04,860
We're currently looking at end of December for construction completion, barring any further delays.

183
00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:13,380
If you've been out there, you've seen they've been pouring curb and gutter and excavating on some of the road widening areas.

184
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,980
We took advantage of the school's spring break to do some of the work around the school.

185
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:26,680
And this coming month they'll be demolishing or removing the existing curb and gutter on the west side of the road

186
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,720
in replacing that with a new curb and gutter at a slightly different location.

187
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,660
If you've been out there this week, you've probably seen a little bit of a traffic backup.

188
00:16:37,020 --> 00:16:42,340
The contractor was doing some work for the signals and damaged some of the detection loops,

189
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,200
and so that set the signal into recall.

190
00:16:44,780 --> 00:16:50,600
So our traffic engineer is working on adjusting the timing, so to minimize that impact as much as possible

191
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,380
as we get through this phase. Next slide, please.

192
00:16:54,580 --> 00:17:00,220
The flood control ladder will see basin and storm drain projects, so this is the project

193
00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:02,500
at the corner of Monivista and Bundikanyan.

194
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,460
Last time we spoke about it, we were sharing that the Monivista drive was going to be closed

195
00:17:07,460 --> 00:17:08,760
for about three months.

196
00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:12,360
Now we're one month into that closure.

197
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,500
The contractor has been busily working on the culvert along Monivista.

198
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:22,500
The summer sageway has been open and allows for southbound access.

199
00:17:23,220 --> 00:17:28,700
The next phase of construction, next light please, will change the closure.

200
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,620
Monovist has been closed from Bundy Canyon on the north to summer sage on the south.

201
00:17:34,060 --> 00:17:40,400
This next stage of construction will flip and close Monovist the south of summer sage just

202
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,880
around the curve so that they can tie into the existing CalTrans culvert.

203
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:57,880
With that, they have to remove and demolish the existing summer sage way bridge and replace that with a standard intersection, so that intersection has to be closed.

204
00:17:58,580 --> 00:18:05,400
But the contractor is going to be able to accommodate one way traffic out of summer sage, so residents will still be able to exit.

205
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,540
It's not there's not enough room to allow for both directions of traffic.

206
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:13,400
So residents will be able to exit to the north to go to Bundy Canyon.

207
00:18:14,180 --> 00:18:16,440
There will not be southbound access on Monivista.

208
00:18:17,020 --> 00:18:22,260
And then the two intersections, Oak Canyon Drive and one that Creek will remain open for all access.

209
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,740
Next slide, please.

210
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,380
So just a development project update, the Bundy Canyon Plaza project is ongoing.

211
00:18:31,380 --> 00:18:39,060
going. They've completed the landscaping in the median. They're still working on upgrading

212
00:18:39,060 --> 00:18:43,380
the traffic signal to allow access into sellers on the southbound side that they've built.

213
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,140
So to accommodate that over the next month or two, we expect them to restripe portions

214
00:18:49,140 --> 00:18:54,320
of Bundy Canyon Road to allow for the left turn pocket, new crosswalks, adjusting the lane

215
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,640
it's out there to accommodate a right turn into their driveway as well.

216
00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:04,340
So once we have more concrete dates from the developer, we'll share those with Kimberly

217
00:19:04,340 --> 00:19:05,780
to get notices out to the public.

218
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:06,600
Next slide.

219
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:08,640
Next slide, please.

220
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,700
So just a few brief updates on the maintenance and operation side.

221
00:19:14,140 --> 00:19:20,800
We finalized the standard drawing for the standard detail for the city welcome signs that the

222
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,520
Council approved last year and we've executed a purchase order with a contractor to install

223
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,780
the signs. We're targeting having the signs installed by the end of the month or end

224
00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:38,820
of May. When we presented this to the Council last year, we identified the existing locations

225
00:19:38,820 --> 00:19:44,720
where the city currently has entry signs as locations that we would be replacing with these

226
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,280
new signs. But at that time, there was also a discussion

227
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,620
about evaluating new locations for some signs and so we've identified three more locations

228
00:19:53,620 --> 00:19:58,040
that currently don't have signs where we will be placing signs and we are looking

229
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:29,540
Additional locations to see if they're warranted or appropriate. And so, we'll continue to work on that and try to get that wrapped up in the next couple of months here. Next slide. And so, just a quick update on the Will Demart trail restriping for those who aren't familiar. We've been working to restripe the eastbound to southbound legs of the Will Demart trail interchange to provide for a right turn pocket.

230
00:20:29,540 --> 00:20:32,640
So to give some traffic relief for e-spound traffic.

231
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:41,680
For those who may not be familiar with the process, as simple as the process may sound,

232
00:20:41,820 --> 00:20:46,100
unfortunately, that area of Voldemort Trail by the freeway belongs to CalTrans.

233
00:20:46,340 --> 00:20:51,520
And so because we're changing the geometry of the striping there, we can't just go out and

234
00:20:51,940 --> 00:20:54,300
black out one line and strike a new line.

235
00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:56,800
And so we do have to go through CalTrans to get their approval.

236
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:03,820
Part of that, it's a little bit more of an evaluation than just telling them this is how we want to do it.

237
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:10,020
We have to, our engineers actually have to run truck turning templates to make sure that when we shift all the lines,

238
00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:15,940
that the trucks can still make the turns without crossing over into the opposing lane of traffic without hitting the curbs.

239
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:23,900
And so Caltrans is asking us to evaluate all those and demonstrate that it can all still function when we shift everything and create new lanes.

240
00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:30,740
And so we've resubmitted our encroachment permits at CalTrans this week and looking

241
00:21:30,740 --> 00:21:35,900
hopefully to get approval or if they have additional comments will revise and resubmit.

242
00:21:36,140 --> 00:21:41,260
Once they approve it, then it's just a matter of getting a bid from a contractor and then

243
00:21:41,260 --> 00:21:42,620
getting this constructed.

244
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:50,100
This area is just east of the existing Kaiser driveway on Voldemort Trail.

245
00:21:51,480 --> 00:22:01,760
That driveway was designed and is operating as a right in, right out driveway, so left turns into and out of that driveway are prohibited.

246
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:12,780
We have still seen people continuing to make unpermitted left turns out of that or they make a right turn and make an illegal U-turn.

247
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:20,020
We've been actively working with our partners at RSO for enforcement to the extent possible.

248
00:22:20,380 --> 00:22:24,300
Kaiser has done a lot of education within the hospital.

249
00:22:24,540 --> 00:22:29,180
They've also done a lot of onsite improvements to try to reinforce that right turn.

250
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:38,920
But we're continuing to evaluate it to see if there's anything else warranted that can be done whether it's additional restrictions in the roadway.

251
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:47,560
We haven't made a final decision or determination on if anything else needs to be done, but we are actively evaluating it.

252
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,460
We are waiting for this Caltrans approval, though, because we're going to be shifting the center line.

253
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,300
And so anything we do is going to get affected by this, and so we would have to do it twice.

254
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,580
So we're waiting for this approval first before we make any final decision on the driveway as well.

255
00:23:02,740 --> 00:23:13,180
Worse case scenario, if for whatever reason we can't get approval from CalTrans to move forward on this we can still continue evaluating and implementing any warranted changes for the driveway separately from this.

256
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:21,880
Next slide. Just as a reminder for the community, we do post project updates on the website if you go to the homepage and that third icon there.

257
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,640
Next slide please.

258
00:23:26,460 --> 00:23:27,260
Next slide please.

259
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:33,460
So if you click that icon, you'll get a page with two links one for development projects, one for construction alerts.

260
00:23:34,100 --> 00:23:34,360
Next slide.

261
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,500
The development projects link will take you to a map where you can click on any project and get project details.

262
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,040
This covers all the private development projects.

263
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:50,020
If someone's curious what grading is starting, what project is being built there, they can go and check this map.

264
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,020
Next slide.

265
00:23:51,020 --> 00:23:59,840
And then the construction alert page has more detail on roadway impacts from some of these projects whether it's a city CIP project or a development project next slide.

266
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:03,500
And that concludes my presentation. Happy to answer any questions.

267
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,820
Thank you.

268
00:24:11,630 --> 00:24:12,510
Any public comments?

269
00:24:14,090 --> 00:24:15,290
For not on the agenda?

270
00:24:16,090 --> 00:24:16,450
Oh, sorry.

271
00:24:19,450 --> 00:24:22,530
For this item, there's no public comments for the department report.

272
00:24:22,530 --> 00:24:25,250
Okay, but you're right. I did, I did. Okay,

273
00:24:27,670 --> 00:24:34,690
Jason. I appreciate your report. It's it pretty much

274
00:24:34,690 --> 00:24:40,990
answers my questions, but I do just because I wasn't hearing correctly. So we're about the

275
00:24:40,990 --> 00:24:46,510
world tomorrow trail restriping. So from our point of view, does it look good? Did it the templates

276
00:24:46,510 --> 00:24:51,250
work? I mean, it should fit. It's not one of those like, you know, they probably won't or. Yeah,

277
00:24:51,250 --> 00:24:58,090
correct we were able to get all the trucks to turning to work and so yeah now we're just hopefully

278
00:24:58,090 --> 00:24:59,850
going into the final review process with them.

279
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:29,760
Right. So, and you mentioned that we will have other remedies, if for some reason CalTrans says no, but I was out there a couple of times since our last city council meeting, and I was meeting with the resident, and we happen to be sitting over on backs to kind of looking at other stuff. In the meantime, three people within 20 minutes made that left hand turn, that you look at the left hand turn. So, we absolutely have to put something if they don't allow it. So, I know you've got something working, but like you said, because it would change the striping if we did something now.

280
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:36,980
we wipe it out. So the other question was just if I missed it on summer stage, it's going to go

281
00:25:36,980 --> 00:25:41,060
down to one lane. Now I would assume that's not just a daytime thing, right? I mean,

282
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:49,540
what happens at night? Correct. So it would be a 24-hour one-way out.

283
00:25:50,740 --> 00:25:54,360
And so they'll set up traffic control. And then we're currently reviewing the traffic control plans.

284
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,560
But they'll set up traffic control so that there's no southbound access into summer stage.

285
00:26:00,060 --> 00:26:04,640
or down Monivista Drive, so it will be that condition 24-7.

286
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:11,760
Okay. And we know, based on the thing at Kaiser, that there's going to be a lot of people that know not just the first day or two.

287
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,120
And how long do we anticipate this taking to complete?

288
00:26:15,460 --> 00:26:22,180
So they anticipate being complete with all of the Monivista construction by, I think, early June.

289
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,680
So this next phase, I would expect it to start probably in this next month.

290
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,540
And then that would continue through June.

291
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,780
Okay, so the summer stage wouldn't be open necessarily until the whole thing is finished.

292
00:26:35,140 --> 00:26:36,340
For two-way traffic, no.

293
00:26:36,580 --> 00:26:36,760
Right.

294
00:26:36,940 --> 00:26:40,040
So, yeah, there will be exit access, just not ingress.

295
00:26:40,180 --> 00:26:41,180
So that's going to sound like a place.

296
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:47,820
I mean, we're not looking to just write a ton of tickets, but I'm sure that RSO is going to want to camp out there sometimes.

297
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:53,880
Because I would put my money on, the same people who go to Kaiser are going to be going and ignoring the rules there, too.

298
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,680
So timing to reopen the whole thing you said sometime in June.

299
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,860
Beginning of June is when they expect to be done with the Monovista work, the project won't be done until November.

300
00:27:09,140 --> 00:27:16,920
So they'll be able to reopen the road, but then they still have street improvements to construct, but it should be open to traffic at least.

301
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,380
But the entire project should be done by November.

302
00:27:21,020 --> 00:27:21,840
Awesome. Thank you.

303
00:27:30,340 --> 00:27:35,380
Thanks, Jason, for the presentation. I have a follow-up question

304
00:27:35,380 --> 00:27:40,200
around what do we trust, those specific to the Kaiser area that we keep circling back

305
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,900
to. And I guess I just want to know, are there current thoughts around what types of

306
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:54,540
options we could pursue other than waiting on the striping for the left turn at the driveway?

307
00:27:54,540 --> 00:28:07,480
Yeah, so some options would include placing delineators along the center line like we have, for example, at Clinton Keith by, I forget the name of the side street near Covington.

308
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:16,000
So that's an option. There are disadvantages to that from a maintenance perspective, from an aesthetic perspective, but that is an option.

309
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,760
Another option is a physical barrier like a median or a curb.

310
00:28:21,940 --> 00:28:24,940
One disadvantage there is the roads not at its ultimate width.

311
00:28:25,340 --> 00:28:28,740
So it's a throwaway improvement that would have to get reconstructed in the future.

312
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,020
There's also additional striping options we've been discussing with our traffic engineer.

313
00:28:35,140 --> 00:28:40,360
That would possibly allow room for a U-turn at the intersection.

314
00:28:40,860 --> 00:28:45,300
But that could be a more costly improvement because then it requires modifications to the traffic signal.

315
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:52,620
So, there are a number of those options, but we just haven't finalized any of those.

316
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,920
So, thanks for that insight.

317
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:05,370
So, the resident I was speaking with his concern, and I sent you some photos and stuff,

318
00:29:05,550 --> 00:29:09,970
but was over with Margaret Lane and Baxter, because Baxter still exists.

319
00:29:11,470 --> 00:29:17,210
And how, and his concern was because it's the way it is right now before there's any further

320
00:29:17,210 --> 00:29:20,050
are building. So I'm assuming that road will, once that they do the residential

321
00:29:20,050 --> 00:29:23,950
and the back, whether that's years from now, that road will be different to accommodate

322
00:29:24,910 --> 00:29:25,850
people who would live there.

323
00:29:26,370 --> 00:29:27,310
Or Margaret or Baxter.

324
00:29:27,990 --> 00:29:30,830
No, Baxter is going to be, I'm assuming it was, but Margaret kind of just bends around

325
00:29:30,830 --> 00:29:33,930
and only just goes to the hospital. I mean, it's very narrow. I'm assuming it would

326
00:29:33,930 --> 00:29:36,650
have to be larger to accommodate all the apartments and homes.

327
00:29:36,890 --> 00:29:42,830
Yeah, so they'll have to widen the rest of Baxter on the north side and then complete

328
00:29:42,830 --> 00:29:45,530
their west side of Margaret as it goes north.

329
00:29:45,530 --> 00:29:50,310
And then obviously they have street improvements on white street. So yeah, that area will look a little bit different.

330
00:29:50,450 --> 00:29:59,630
There will be additional widening the Margaret intersection itself at Will the Martrail. That may not change drastically, but yeah, further north. Yeah, so he's concerned.

331
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:29,540
There's no stop leaving the hospital if you're leaving the proper way, you know, not doing the illegal turn. And so while we were there, that's where we stopped to look at this situation. And people that didn't make the illegal turn, they still, if they realized, oh, I don't want to go this way, I want to go to the freeway. And so they came down to Market Lane and then did a U-turn at Baxter. And his concern, and I could see what you're talking about, was that it's kind of a blind corner.

332
00:30:29,540 --> 00:30:33,220
You're not sure what's going, so you got somebody that's coming, leaving the hospital,

333
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,220
and it's somebody's doing this U-turn, and so he thought if you put a stop for the

334
00:30:38,220 --> 00:30:43,580
people exiting the hospital on Margaret Lane, so there's something to think about, but

335
00:30:43,580 --> 00:30:49,360
there's, it's amazing how many people do not know to leave the back way, unless you're going

336
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,180
to head east to begin with, but, and I just wanted to add that since we were talking about

337
00:30:54,180 --> 00:30:54,600
a little more trail.

338
00:30:57,230 --> 00:30:57,390
Yes.

339
00:30:57,870 --> 00:30:58,550
All right.

340
00:30:58,710 --> 00:30:59,230
Thank you, Jason.

341
00:30:59,490 --> 00:30:59,890
You did a great job.

342
00:31:00,150 --> 00:31:00,410
Thank you.

343
00:31:03,250 --> 00:31:03,970
All right.

344
00:31:04,390 --> 00:31:07,410
So do we have any public comments not on the agenda?

345
00:31:08,330 --> 00:31:08,490
Yes.

346
00:31:08,670 --> 00:31:10,210
First speaker is Steve Leskey.

347
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:16,840
Sure.

348
00:31:17,660 --> 00:31:18,700
Yes, Margaret?

349
00:31:22,730 --> 00:31:24,890
Greetings to Will the Mars City Council.

350
00:31:25,850 --> 00:31:27,470
My name is Margaret Lankie.

351
00:31:27,550 --> 00:31:31,690
I'm here tonight to introduce the Temecula Valley Native Plant Network.

352
00:31:32,130 --> 00:31:34,290
And I already know Bridget and Joseph.

353
00:31:35,630 --> 00:31:38,790
and I used to be a resident of Wildermar for four years.

354
00:31:38,970 --> 00:31:40,210
I have fond memories of that.

355
00:31:40,310 --> 00:31:41,370
I live in Temecula now.

356
00:31:41,730 --> 00:31:43,150
But I want to thank you right off the bat

357
00:31:43,150 --> 00:31:44,190
for your Earth Day event.

358
00:31:45,390 --> 00:31:49,150
And we had a booth there, so that was good connection

359
00:31:49,150 --> 00:31:50,090
to the community.

360
00:31:50,290 --> 00:31:52,290
And we are having our own Earth Day event,

361
00:31:53,030 --> 00:31:56,290
the last Sunday in April on the 27th,

362
00:31:56,290 --> 00:31:57,730
down at Vale Headquarters.

363
00:31:58,030 --> 00:31:59,350
We want to invite everyone to come.

364
00:32:00,110 --> 00:32:01,750
So it's 11 to 4.

365
00:32:01,750 --> 00:32:07,250
will be having food and vendors and music and presentations. So I want to put

366
00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:11,170
that on your radar. But I'm here tonight to introduce the Temecula Valley Native

367
00:32:11,170 --> 00:32:16,610
Plant Network. About two and a half years ago we became aware that the Monarch

368
00:32:16,610 --> 00:32:22,310
Butterfly was going extinct. So we wanted to do something local. I mean there's

369
00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:27,290
plenty of people doing things far away but we didn't want to face traffic. We

370
00:32:27,290 --> 00:32:31,310
We wanted to do things local and we wanted to prioritize making friends.

371
00:32:32,030 --> 00:32:33,350
So this is a group of friends.

372
00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:35,290
It's an informal organization.

373
00:32:35,890 --> 00:32:41,530
We have over 900 people on our Facebook group and we have about 300 on my email list.

374
00:32:42,170 --> 00:32:46,970
And I send out a weekly email letting people know what's happening locally so they can get

375
00:32:46,970 --> 00:32:56,490
connected with workshops and events and educational opportunities, coffee hour, dinners, whatever

376
00:32:56,490 --> 00:33:02,710
we can dream at. We're trying to connect people. So we invite everyone. We welcome Republicans,

377
00:33:03,150 --> 00:33:10,910
Democrats, Independents. We're all working together and it's working. So I wanted to make you

378
00:33:10,910 --> 00:33:16,470
aware that we had a meeting with Bridget last year about becoming a monarch mayor through the National

379
00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:21,630
Wildlife Federation, but we haven't had an opportunity to talk to the current mayor. We would

380
00:33:21,630 --> 00:33:29,850
like to do that and get acquainted. So I want to leave you with a song. Oh give me a home

381
00:33:29,850 --> 00:33:39,550
where the butterflies roam, where the bees and the dragonflies play, where often is heard

382
00:33:39,890 --> 00:33:48,730
and encouraging bird and the flowers are blooming all day. Thank you.

383
00:33:50,980 --> 00:33:51,820
Thank you, Margaret.

384
00:33:53,420 --> 00:33:57,740
and then i'll get my card to you. Steve Leskey?

385
00:34:00,870 --> 00:34:02,370
You wanted to follow that, Steve?

386
00:34:04,210 --> 00:34:09,950
Well, it's Steve Leskey. I've been a resident for 22 years here in Baltimore. I'm retired now.

387
00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:16,930
Yeah, I wanted to follow Margaret because, you know, her native plant that work is kind of what I'm

388
00:34:16,930 --> 00:34:21,770
doing up at the Santa Rosa Plateau. I'm a lead volunteer up there working with California

389
00:34:21,770 --> 00:34:23,990
or California Department of Fish and Wildlife,

390
00:34:24,310 --> 00:34:26,610
Nature Conservancy, Riverside County Parks and Open Spaces,

391
00:34:27,210 --> 00:34:28,850
the Nature Education Foundation.

392
00:34:29,710 --> 00:34:37,010
And it's a follow on the networking aspect of,

393
00:34:38,010 --> 00:34:43,210
you know, you have something that is the various interests

394
00:34:43,210 --> 00:34:44,670
of the plants and the animals.

395
00:34:45,530 --> 00:34:51,530
It's, you know, it's, you have invasive plants,

396
00:34:51,710 --> 00:34:54,330
you have protected species and endangered species.

397
00:34:55,290 --> 00:34:59,810
you have a lot of animals as well that are part of these concerns.

398
00:35:00,210 --> 00:35:29,570
And there's a major development, you have what, quarter million people, just a few miles away from an ecological reserve, very special space. And having that interface kind of rough transition can be facilitated if you have more concerns of the people in those populated areas.

399
00:35:29,570 --> 00:35:36,050
about how to, you know, if they want the butterflies, they want the birds, you

400
00:35:36,050 --> 00:35:41,770
really need the native plants for that. You can have zero escaping, but

401
00:35:41,770 --> 00:35:48,870
non-natives, but you won't get the pollinators. And associated with the native

402
00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:55,810
plant network, the one following Margaret, there was one fellow who did a plan he

403
00:35:55,810 --> 00:36:05,770
He came in, it's an elementary school in Marietta where he did a plan and we helped put

404
00:36:05,770 --> 00:36:11,850
in like over 100 native plants there and it's an example about how you can do native

405
00:36:11,850 --> 00:36:12,690
plant design.

406
00:36:13,010 --> 00:36:18,910
It can be adapted to other schools, other public facilities even to home gardens.

407
00:36:18,910 --> 00:36:26,350
So, there is also this notion of the homegrown national park, and it's kind of us, instead

408
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:30,510
of having a big national park, it's like little pockets, like little stepping stones

409
00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:32,290
between the native areas.

410
00:36:32,950 --> 00:36:38,750
And that's something that we could do here in Wilderwar, and although I spend a huge amount

411
00:36:38,750 --> 00:36:43,610
of time at the Santa Rosa Plateau, I would, I'd do a little bit with like the Wilderwar

412
00:36:43,610 --> 00:36:47,530
beautification volunteers, a great project, you know, a lot of lovely people there.

413
00:36:47,530 --> 00:36:52,490
and I would do more if, well, the more I want us to do something with native plants.

414
00:36:52,770 --> 00:36:56,870
I think we can do something really special and there's a lot of resources that you may

415
00:36:56,870 --> 00:37:01,170
not be aware of and you know the native plant network as I identified.

416
00:37:02,290 --> 00:37:02,770
My thanks.

417
00:37:03,130 --> 00:37:03,570
Wonderful.

418
00:37:03,930 --> 00:37:04,450
Thank you, Steve.

419
00:37:06,790 --> 00:37:08,310
Next speaker, Don Saunders.

420
00:37:15,790 --> 00:37:20,990
Council, actually I put my public comments in before the recognitions tonight and the reason

421
00:37:20,990 --> 00:37:26,750
And I wanted to speak is just say that how thankful and blessed we are to have the

422
00:37:26,750 --> 00:37:29,250
Wildermar beautification volunteers.

423
00:37:29,990 --> 00:37:30,570
Yeah,

424
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:38,800
they work hard every day in our city and it's really appreciated everything they

425
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,180
do.

426
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,700
And I had a wonderful time at the Earth Day this past Saturday.

427
00:37:44,460 --> 00:37:48,820
And for those driving along down the road, you look around and you think, oh, it looks

428
00:37:48,820 --> 00:37:49,400
really clean.

429
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:51,400
But you know, you would be surprised.

430
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:58,340
I went out myself down Mission Trail there from Bundy Canyon and you think it's clean and all of a sudden I find a bumper.

431
00:37:58,780 --> 00:38:07,160
I find a chair, I find a tire, I find containers of oil, and then just a lot of litter on the road.

432
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:12,700
And it's just amazing what a difference you can make with the volunteers.

433
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:19,800
And so I encourage anyone who might have some time on a Saturday to actually go out and join the volunteers.

434
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:28,600
It's amazing. What you can do in just an hour. It's an hour's time. How much, you know, you can make a difference here in the community.

435
00:38:29,340 --> 00:38:38,680
And so thanks again for everything the volunteers, the beautification of volunteer group does and we can't be, we can't thank them enough.

436
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:47,240
And then also just as a special thanks to one and a thank Jason. Jason is does a great job with public works at presentation earlier.

437
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:54,420
And he's also very good at following up and helping with things when it comes to public

438
00:38:54,420 --> 00:38:58,240
works around the communities, so I really do appreciate all his help and support.

439
00:38:58,980 --> 00:38:59,380
Thanks again.

440
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:00,260
Thank you, John.

441
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,760
And thanks for coming out and picking up later.

442
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,000
Next speaker, Jessica Heum.

443
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:24,440
And some members, we don't have a song, but I know right, I could put that to my husband

444
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,480
but I wouldn't recommend it.

445
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:30,640
I do want to say thank you so much we are recently moved here well four or five years

446
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:35,620
ago and we are very aware how active you are in our community as council members and

447
00:39:35,620 --> 00:39:36,920
it means a lot to be here.

448
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:46,120
I am going to bring up a matter that I am sure you are so, so tired of hearing but there

449
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:52,540
are one or two points I feel are worth bringing to note including the code enforcement here

450
00:39:52,540 --> 00:39:57,600
which was trashed in our backyard. So this is about the block series trailers. I know you're

451
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,920
tired of hearing it. I did speak.

452
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:29,440
Thank you to the wonderful, interesting gentleman himself, Jack, Hongwai Quay, however he pronounces it. As I called them breaking their code violation. My home office looks directly onto the Black Series trailers, so I watch every day as they haul multiple trailers in. We see them stripping the tires off, so if you think it's going to be an easy evacuation of them, it's not. They're stripping the trailers and the tires.

453
00:40:30,740 --> 00:40:36,600
I spoke with the local dealer that was dealing with them because they were blocking our

454
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,500
driveway and doing damage to our driveway.

455
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,900
He said they are aware of code enforcement, they have absolutely no intention of removing

456
00:40:42,900 --> 00:40:43,540
the trailers.

457
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:48,340
Jack had said to them that he was going to pay code violations.

458
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:54,440
This man has big money and he thinks $500 is just a piece of cash to him.

459
00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:00,720
So, I approached the worker with pink curlers in my hair, which I think may have frightened

460
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:08,940
him to hand the phone over to Jack, understandably so, and he started by lying to me, telling

461
00:41:08,940 --> 00:41:10,440
me they were removing the trailers.

462
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,800
My husband and I laughed saying, we are watching you pull the trailers in right now.

463
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:20,920
Then he let me know that he had no idea about any code violations, at which point I told him

464
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,540
And the code violations are posted right on the gate here.

465
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,060
Your worker can come.

466
00:41:26,180 --> 00:41:28,740
I had the Chinese app as Tina had recommended.

467
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,740
I said, we can do a screenshot called Tina.

468
00:41:34,020 --> 00:41:34,780
This is her number.

469
00:41:34,900 --> 00:41:36,220
This is her extension number.

470
00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:40,880
She will be happy to talk you through this, at which point he started mocking me and letting

471
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,820
me know he kind of knew who I was and where I lived.

472
00:41:44,020 --> 00:41:45,200
So we backed off.

473
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:50,260
However, we did find this trashed in our yard this morning, which is his code violation.

474
00:41:50,260 --> 00:41:56,960
Yeah. So I'm not sure what to do with this at this point. The other thing I do want

475
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:03,840
to highlight is we looked at these trailers online and it is a scary fire hazard. I have

476
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:09,180
a tech report here. He says they should be recalled at this point the amount of fires

477
00:42:09,180 --> 00:42:14,780
that have broken out. There's problems with the AC units and the wiring. It's quite shocking

478
00:42:14,780 --> 00:42:21,140
what has happened with that and hence what has happened in city of industry is not just

479
00:42:21,140 --> 00:42:27,000
city of industry. These fires are happening all over with these trailers and coming into

480
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:32,920
fire season I really want to highlight the concern. I have, I mean there's so much if you look

481
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:39,060
up online on what a fire hazard they are. So that's about all I have to say on that. I know you're

482
00:42:39,060 --> 00:42:39,820
We're tired of hearing it.

483
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,020
I know it's due process.

484
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:42,320
You have to wait as well.

485
00:42:43,020 --> 00:42:46,420
But if you do need a witness to him breaking code violations,

486
00:42:46,620 --> 00:42:48,020
we watch it daily, so.

487
00:42:48,740 --> 00:42:49,440
Thank you.

488
00:42:54,250 --> 00:42:55,150
Debbie, Renfrow?

489
00:42:55,650 --> 00:42:55,830
I

490
00:43:02,740 --> 00:43:06,540
mean, Ms. Debbie, I have lived in Wildermar for 44 years.

491
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,220
So yes, I was a baby.

492
00:43:09,460 --> 00:43:11,880
So I have, I've come here with two concerns.

493
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,480
My first one is about the park, Marna O'Brien.

494
00:43:14,980 --> 00:43:19,780
So I attended the Santa breakfast at Marna O'Brien in December

495
00:43:19,780 --> 00:43:27,420
and Bridget Moore had told me that she had written a check for $60,000 to replace the wood chips at the Marna O'Brien Park with the foam for children.

496
00:43:28,460 --> 00:43:32,580
I'm concerned because it's now becoming spring and summer and it's 90 degrees now.

497
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:39,980
So it would be really nice if we could get that foam completed at the Marna O'Brien Park so that children don't get the wood chips in their shoes and their sandals.

498
00:43:40,620 --> 00:43:43,020
And there's a lot of trash that can be seen in the wood chips.

499
00:43:43,820 --> 00:43:46,260
My other concern is the black series trailers.

500
00:43:46,260 --> 00:43:51,460
I live behind those trailers. I have sent videos that I have posted to YouTube. I too watched

501
00:43:51,460 --> 00:43:56,920
those trailers get moved around. I waved to the man as I was filming him at which point

502
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:03,860
he did not wave back. The dirt that those trailers her on is not compacted at all. So every

503
00:44:03,860 --> 00:44:08,880
time it rains, that dirt gives way. And I know this because I've had to replace a chain link

504
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,420
fence on the back of my property so that when the dirt comes down, the dirt gets pushed

505
00:44:13,420 --> 00:44:18,520
into my fence. So I watch them all the time. I videotape them. I take pictures.

506
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:23,980
They are a fire hazard. They are ridiculous. And there are more and more of them

507
00:44:23,980 --> 00:44:28,400
all the time. And that I am very concerned, and they do not know how to park them

508
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:33,960
or bring them in. The way they are positioned, they are on an angle, on a hillside.

509
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:39,460
So if the rain comes and the dirt gives way, because it does not compact it at all,

510
00:44:39,460 --> 00:44:47,440
It's filled dirt. It was brought in. It's dirty. I've seen it. I've been living in that particular house for 21 years. I've watched it.

511
00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:51,480
That dirt is going to give way and those trailers are going to tumble down in the back of my fence.

512
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:59,960
And that is my concern. They have to go. I know there's a due process, but at this point, the minute that trailer rolls down, that hill...

513
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:22,400
I'm calling the police because that is not okay. So I don't know what else can be done to get them out. I have seen lights on them in the evenings, so I don't know, I'm afraid that someone's going to be moving into them. I don't know. And they're going to attract people that will move into them because they are not watched or maintained on all hours. So thank you.

514
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,080
No other speakers.

515
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:34,120
Well, thank you to those of you who made comments. We can't talk about them.

516
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,800
because it's not on the agenda, but we appreciate your comments.

517
00:45:41,550 --> 00:45:43,210
Okay, approval of the agenda as presented?

518
00:45:44,270 --> 00:45:45,910
I'll make a motion for that.

519
00:45:46,550 --> 00:45:46,870
Second.

520
00:45:47,450 --> 00:45:48,110
All in favor?

521
00:45:48,490 --> 00:45:48,770
Aye.

522
00:45:49,910 --> 00:45:51,430
Motion carries 5-0.

523
00:45:52,730 --> 00:45:54,470
It takes us to the consent calendar.

524
00:45:55,050 --> 00:45:57,310
I'll make a motion to approve the consent calendar.

525
00:45:57,930 --> 00:45:58,210
Second.

526
00:45:59,070 --> 00:45:59,670
All in favor?

527
00:45:59,990 --> 00:46:00,170
Aye.

528
00:46:01,470 --> 00:46:07,580
Motion carries 5-0 and there were no public comments as well for the record.

529
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:08,640
Oh, sorry.

530
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:09,080
Okay. Thank you.

531
00:46:15,430 --> 00:46:19,530
Okay. So we need a resender vote. Can we do that?

532
00:46:19,890 --> 00:46:22,990
Sorry. I did want to pull an item 1.5.

533
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,140
It's for the measure of the amendments.

534
00:46:28,460 --> 00:46:29,460
Do you

535
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:34,640
want like a staff reporter to be rebelled on that?

536
00:46:35,820 --> 00:46:40,040
Well, I think it was our recommendation, right, to Council side wants formally.

537
00:46:40,340 --> 00:46:44,960
Okay. I guess how many are appoint those individuals?

538
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:54,120
So the Measure 1.5 is Measure Z Oversight Advisory Committee Appointments, Councilmember Mayor

539
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:55,760
Pro Tem, Carlos Marquez, and I met.

540
00:46:56,340 --> 00:47:00,420
And the Committee Services Subcommittee recommends that the City Council appoint Sergio Rodriguez

541
00:47:00,860 --> 00:47:06,160
and Augustine Alvarado to the Measure Z Oversight Advisory Committee for terms ending January

542
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:07,000
20, 27.

543
00:47:07,700 --> 00:47:08,960
So I had a question.

544
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:09,180
Sorry.

545
00:47:09,580 --> 00:47:11,880
I think Sergio was on there already, correct?

546
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:17,200
were they both like read the sir only sir there was one vacancy because one of

547
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,980
the current or one of the previous committee members was appointed to the

548
00:47:21,980 --> 00:47:24,760
planning commission. So then one of them's in new to the

549
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,840
fold correct. Okay that's good to hear.

550
00:47:29,740 --> 00:47:29,740
All right

551
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:37,230
motion. Do you have a motion and a vote on 1.5?

552
00:47:37,570 --> 00:47:41,590
I'm like a motion for 1.5 as presented by Bridgetten.

553
00:47:41,590 --> 00:47:42,350
Second.

554
00:47:42,830 --> 00:47:43,290
All right.

555
00:47:43,290 --> 00:47:43,650
All right.

556
00:47:43,650 --> 00:47:44,110
All right.

557
00:47:44,450 --> 00:47:45,450
Motion carries.

558
00:47:45,650 --> 00:47:46,070
5-0.

559
00:47:49,060 --> 00:47:49,820
Public hearings.

560
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:51,880
Public hearings.

561
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:53,780
All right.

562
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:54,360
2.1.

563
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,100
We have Stizzy, Cannabis Proposal Development Agreement.

564
00:47:58,600 --> 00:47:59,720
Presented by Abdu.

565
00:48:00,580 --> 00:48:01,260
Lackgaard.

566
00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:01,820
Good

567
00:48:11,130 --> 00:48:11,870
evening Councilmembers.

568
00:48:13,370 --> 00:48:20,470
I'll be presenting the Stizzy Retail Cannabis Proposal for Development Agreement 24-0-1-1-5.

569
00:48:22,450 --> 00:48:23,250
Next slide.

570
00:48:25,090 --> 00:48:30,070
This project is located at the northeast corner of Mission Trail and Bundy Canyon.

571
00:48:30,950 --> 00:48:34,090
It's in a multi-tenor retail center, it's about 1.1 acres in size.

572
00:48:34,870 --> 00:48:40,370
The least space for this business is 2,275 square feet.

573
00:48:41,870 --> 00:48:42,390
Next slide.

574
00:48:44,270 --> 00:48:49,790
The applicant seeking City Council approval for the following, determination that the

575
00:48:49,790 --> 00:48:54,690
proposal meter requirements for a categorical exemption under 15301 of

576
00:48:54,690 --> 00:49:00,870
CEQA and approval of the development agreement 24.0115. Now you may be

577
00:49:00,870 --> 00:49:06,570
wondering why there's no CUP here. This project was originally for a

578
00:49:06,570 --> 00:49:12,750
culture club which was 20.0078 which was approved back in 2020. Now they

579
00:49:13,390 --> 00:49:19,110
decided to shut down their business and move on. Their local ethos expired

580
00:49:19,110 --> 00:49:24,650
which meant that their development agreement expired. However, the CUP runs with the

581
00:49:24,650 --> 00:49:32,390
land, so the CUP that established the use itself is still active. So Stacy decided to take

582
00:49:32,390 --> 00:49:37,090
over that location. They would have to get a new local license, which they did, and they

583
00:49:37,090 --> 00:49:40,370
would have to get a new development agreement, which needs to be approved by Council.

584
00:49:43,990 --> 00:49:44,270
Next

585
00:49:44,270 --> 00:49:44,430
slide.

586
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:54,420
Now, as you know, the local license is not subject to Commissioner Council approval, but it's

587
00:49:54,420 --> 00:49:59,740
an understanding to cannabis proposal. It's one of the attachments in the

588
00:50:00,780 --> 00:50:17,840
Packet, which includes authorization from the property owner, executed lease agreements, project description, business operations plan, safety security plan, over an older abatement plan, visitor requirement plan, and interior elevation details. Next slide.

589
00:50:19,500 --> 00:50:29,300
The applicant submitted the local license package on January 21st of 2025. It was reviewed by city staff, RSO and Fire Department.

590
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,700
It met all of their requirements.

591
00:50:32,300 --> 00:50:37,840
They gave their approval of the local license after final review of the city, determined

592
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:42,720
that all the required sections of the local license package met the standards of ordinance

593
00:50:42,720 --> 00:50:43,400
188.

594
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:49,500
Therefore the planned amendment approved it issued the local license on February 20, 2025.

595
00:50:50,460 --> 00:50:51,580
It's good for two years.

596
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,620
However, obviously they can't start operating until a DA is approved.

597
00:50:57,980 --> 00:50:58,460
Next slide.

598
00:50:59,380 --> 00:51:04,940
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed development agreement at their March 19, 2025

599
00:51:04,940 --> 00:51:08,700
meeting and recommended approval to City Council.

600
00:51:09,700 --> 00:51:14,000
Ordnance 187 requires the applicant's enter to development agreement with the city to

601
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,180
establish the development agreement fees.

602
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,860
The DA must be reviewed by City Council.

603
00:51:20,540 --> 00:51:25,440
It will be for a 20-year period as is standard for our DAs.

604
00:51:26,380 --> 00:51:30,920
And we'll establish an annual fee separate from the sales tax revenue to be paid to the city.

605
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:31,980
Next slide.

606
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,720
The proposed development agreement will be for a 20-year period, as I mentioned.

607
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:41,620
Established as an annual fee, it's comprised of three deal points as follows.

608
00:51:42,940 --> 00:51:45,600
$20 per square foot of lease space,

609
00:51:46,300 --> 00:51:50,860
$2,275 square feet, which would generate about $45,000 annually,

610
00:51:50,860 --> 00:51:55,560
in about $910,000 over the life of the 20-year agreement.

611
00:51:56,060 --> 00:52:01,200
3% of gross receipts based on their estimates,

612
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,600
it would generate about $240,000 annually,

613
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,040
and $1.2 million over years 1-5.

614
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,900
Based on estimated sales by $8 million.

615
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,440
Now the sales could be higher or lower in that,

616
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,080
this is just an estimate, but they've done a lot of market research

617
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:19,340
to determine that amount.

618
00:52:20,620 --> 00:52:26,100
Between the six and 20th DA years, the applicant will pay at least 5% of gross receipts,

619
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:31,420
as is standard for our other development agreements for our existing cannabis businesses.

620
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,080
This fee could generate approximately $540,000 annually,

621
00:52:36,420 --> 00:52:39,180
which is about 8.1 million over the next 15 years.

622
00:52:40,260 --> 00:52:46,120
The sales tax of measure AA tax will generate about 160 to 216,000 annually,

623
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:53,600
based on gross revenue. Total revenues at a general fund are about 200,000 annually from year 1 through 5.

624
00:52:54,780 --> 00:52:55,240
Next slide.

625
00:52:57,470 --> 00:53:05,590
Based on our existing cannabis standards, it meets all of the distance requirements for residential special uses.

626
00:53:06,770 --> 00:53:07,090
Next slide.

627
00:53:09,220 --> 00:53:17,560
This is the floor plan that is proposed as going in the same location as the existing, well the previous tenant, which was Culture Club.

628
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,100
Next slide.

629
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:26,260
This is one of the proposed interior elevations of this based on the elevations.

630
00:53:26,260 --> 00:53:29,700
They're kind of giving a similar vibe to the existing Stizzy.

631
00:53:30,980 --> 00:53:31,520
Next slide.

632
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:35,720
This is another angle for their interior elevations.

633
00:53:36,740 --> 00:53:37,700
Next slide.

634
00:53:39,100 --> 00:53:47,300
Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend the following two City Council adoption of a

635
00:53:47,300 --> 00:53:52,020
one of CEQA and to introduce and approve for first reading council ordinance approving

636
00:53:52,020 --> 00:53:59,020
development agreement 24-0-1-1-5 staff is available for any questions and the applicant also

637
00:53:59,020 --> 00:54:03,000
has a presentation that I'd like to show thank you.

638
00:54:03,900 --> 00:54:04,700
Thank you.

639
00:54:04,940 --> 00:54:05,320
Good

640
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,180
evening Honorable Mayor and Honorable Council members my name is Tox Sato and the President

641
00:54:19,180 --> 00:54:26,520
and owner of STISI next slide please a little bit about myself and the other owner I graduated

642
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:34,200
Columbia Law School 15 years ago, was practicing as a corporate attorney and then dove into the cannabis industry about eight years ago.

643
00:54:34,940 --> 00:54:39,540
And now I am the proud owner of over 45 cannabis retail licenses.

644
00:54:40,240 --> 00:54:52,400
My partner, James, he is the founder of the Stizzy brand and he founded and got into cannabis after serving in Iraq with the 101st Airborne to deal with his own PTSD.

645
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:54,500
Next slide please.

646
00:54:55,820 --> 00:54:59,880
So, Stizzy is by far the largest cannabis company in California.

647
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:29,620
Right now, we have, by every metric, we have $680 million in sales last year, we have 44 open retail stores, we have 2000 or 2000 employees. And what really separates us from the others is our SOPs. Much like among Donald's, because we have so much experience, we've basically come up with an SOP for every aspect of our business. And in fact, when the Voldemort compliance department comes to visit our stores for their audits, we've been told numerous times,

648
00:55:29,620 --> 00:55:32,280
and we're the most compliant store in Wildomar.

649
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:33,980
Next slide please.

650
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,000
And the main reason we want, like another store,

651
00:55:38,260 --> 00:55:41,400
is we've just had wonderful success at our current location.

652
00:55:42,220 --> 00:55:45,200
As you can see, we did $13 million last year,

653
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,840
$15 million the year before,

654
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:53,880
and we've paid over $770,000 in direct development fees

655
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,200
to see the last two years.

656
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,920
And we're kind of a victim of our own success.

657
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:03,580
Yes, a lot of our customers have let us know that the lines at the current location

658
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:08,600
is a little too long, they've also let us know that the parking situation there's not

659
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:09,000
ideal.

660
00:56:09,720 --> 00:56:13,680
And so we've actually been looking for a while for a second location so that we don't

661
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:14,820
continue to lose customers.

662
00:56:15,140 --> 00:56:20,100
We've actually heard of customers starting to shop at late elsewhere locations because they

663
00:56:20,100 --> 00:56:21,680
do not want to do with the parking of the lines.

664
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,940
And so we jumped upon this opportunity next slide, please.

665
00:56:26,020 --> 00:56:27,980
Because it's an ideal location for us.

666
00:56:27,980 --> 00:56:32,720
It's on the other side of town, it's going to cater more to the lake else in the market.

667
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:39,060
Also, it's 2,300 square feet, almost 800 square feet larger than our current location.

668
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:45,360
It's got 52 parking spots, most of which is empty because there's a gas station dominoes

669
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,060
and a lot of some other places that people just come and go to.

670
00:56:51,660 --> 00:56:52,260
Next slide please.

671
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,500
And we're also very proud of our security.

672
00:56:56,500 --> 00:57:01,720
We have, as you can see, we're going to have 23 fixed HD cameras inside the building,

673
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,840
12 motion detectors, and panic buttons throughout the store.

674
00:57:07,020 --> 00:57:07,500
Next slide, please.

675
00:57:09,220 --> 00:57:15,720
And the most important thing, in my opinion, is that we have 24-hour security surveillance

676
00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:20,420
team at our downtown LA headquarters who's constantly communicating with our security guards

677
00:57:20,420 --> 00:57:20,900
on site.

678
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:25,640
And whenever they see anything suspicious, they communicate right away so that they can take

679
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:26,400
preventative measures.

680
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:32,460
And I think the thing that I'm most proud of is that out of our 25 locations in Southern

681
00:57:32,460 --> 00:57:37,420
California right now, and in six years of operation we have not had a single break in any of

682
00:57:37,420 --> 00:57:38,000
those locations.

683
00:57:40,210 --> 00:57:40,950
Next slide, please.

684
00:57:43,850 --> 00:57:45,930
We're also a unionized business.

685
00:57:46,570 --> 00:57:50,430
We project around 30 to 40 jobs created by this store.

686
00:57:51,690 --> 00:57:56,150
My estimate is that probably 40 to 50% of those jobs will go to will to residents.

687
00:57:57,110 --> 00:58:04,790
And we have, and our CBA dictates that the lowest minimum wage starts at $19, going all the way to $25.

688
00:58:05,390 --> 00:58:13,350
And the great thing is, much like a restaurant or a bar, a lot of our, most of our employees make on average $8 to $10 per hour.

689
00:58:13,570 --> 00:58:16,690
So they're averaging, you know, $29 to $32 an hour.

690
00:58:17,190 --> 00:58:21,070
They also get 16 hours per year to volunteer towards different events.

691
00:58:21,070 --> 00:58:38,890
Stephanie will talk a little bit more about our activity here, but we just last week we participated in the Make Earth the cleanup event, and we continue we really look forward to being invested in working with everyone here so that we can continue to volunteer and invest in the community.

692
00:58:39,970 --> 00:58:40,690
Go ahead, Stephanie.

693
00:58:40,690 --> 00:58:41,450
Good

694
00:58:44,650 --> 00:58:48,490
evening, Honourable Council. My name is Stephanie Ewe and my Vice President, Public Affairs.

695
00:58:49,250 --> 00:58:49,970
Next slide, please.

696
00:58:52,310 --> 00:58:55,270
Community engagement and social impact. Giving back and being

697
00:58:55,270 --> 00:58:59,990
involved in the communities we operate in is essential to who we are as a company.

698
00:59:00,390 --> 00:59:05,450
For each of the communities we're in, we like to identify the key organizations and

699
00:59:05,450 --> 00:59:09,250
leaders who are doing good work in the community. Who are those folks who are already

700
00:59:09,250 --> 00:59:15,450
making impact where we want to be, and so we take great pride in supporting those organizations

701
00:59:16,210 --> 00:59:23,730
knowing that the change will be sustainable within that community. Since 2017, we've contributed

702
00:59:23,730 --> 00:59:39,190
over $1.5 million to local organizations up and down the state, and as Talk mentioned in the

703
00:59:39,190 --> 00:59:44,230
specifically. So we hold monthly volunteer opportunities. Joint efforts is a name of

704
00:59:44,230 --> 00:59:48,350
our, you know, volunteer core of our employees. We're very lucky that our

705
00:59:48,350 --> 00:59:55,730
Waldemar employees are quite eager to get back to the community. So as you can see

706
00:59:55,730 --> 00:59:59,790
the bottom, there's some logos of some organizations that we've already.

707
01:00:00,020 --> 01:00:29,560
We've been volunteering with. Of course, a little more community and parks foundation. We're happy to be there this past Saturday. Some photos of our general managers, Sierra, and some of our team members out there volunteering. The American Legion, we have been very involved with the local district here, and also the YMCA because as the largest cannabis operator, we feel the responsibility to be responsible operators. So we've actually partnered with the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club,

708
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:36,160
and Healing Urban Barrios, which is a non-profit youth prevention nonprofit, and we've created

709
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:43,860
based on Stanford University research, a first-vict kind youth prevention program.

710
01:00:44,620 --> 01:00:53,700
And so that program is focused on educating youth on the dangers of underage consumption

711
01:00:53,700 --> 01:00:59,100
of cannabis, how to distinguish what cannabis looks like, especially nowadays it takes many

712
01:00:59,100 --> 01:01:04,380
forms, candy, chips, et cetera, and find alternative ways to deal with stress.

713
01:01:05,540 --> 01:01:11,860
And so, so far this year we've already had over 150 middle school students complete

714
01:01:11,860 --> 01:01:15,180
the program and we hope to bring that program here to Will Demar.

715
01:01:15,740 --> 01:01:23,500
So we are certainly open to nonprofits, organizations that you think could be a good vehicle to

716
01:01:23,500 --> 01:01:27,840
to really get the word out about our Youth Drug Prevention Program.

717
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:29,680
Next slide, please.

718
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:33,320
Community, neighborhood compatibility.

719
01:01:34,140 --> 01:01:39,180
So the key to not being a nuisance is really opening the lines of communication within

720
01:01:39,180 --> 01:01:39,840
the community.

721
01:01:40,260 --> 01:01:43,940
In all of our stores, you will see a good neighbor policy posted in the lobby.

722
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:49,860
This good neighbor policy really serves as a code of conduct, a set of expectations that

723
01:01:49,860 --> 01:01:55,800
we have with the community, the set of standards that we hold ourselves to, and also the conduct

724
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,740
that we expect from our customers.

725
01:01:59,220 --> 01:02:04,100
For example, our good neighbor policy pledges that we will keep clean and sweep the property

726
01:02:04,100 --> 01:02:05,080
three times a day.

727
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:10,520
Our manager does rounds beginning of the shift, middle of the day, and the night to make

728
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:16,000
sure there's no litter, no graffiti, things like that.

729
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:21,080
Also, if there's any graffiti, we remediate that within 24 hours.

730
01:02:21,900 --> 01:02:26,900
I am actually the community relations contact, so my personal cell phone will be listed

731
01:02:26,900 --> 01:02:27,480
on the door.

732
01:02:28,060 --> 01:02:33,340
I gladly respond to all inquiries within 48 hours, usually 24 hours.

733
01:02:33,940 --> 01:02:38,100
So the lines of communication are certainly always open with us.

734
01:02:38,460 --> 01:02:45,860
And lastly, being proactive and not being in new sense, again, is about open lines of communication

735
01:02:45,860 --> 01:02:49,000
and that's certainly the case with law enforcement.

736
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,040
So we've been lucky to have open lines of communication

737
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,080
with the Riverside Sheriff's Department.

738
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,000
I'd like to thank Lieutenant Clark for meeting with me

739
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,100
and I'm glad to hear that in that meeting,

740
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,280
he shared with me that it's been our experience

741
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,940
in all the communities that we participated.

742
01:03:06,500 --> 01:03:08,740
There's been no increase in crime,

743
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,900
there've been no increase in service calls

744
01:03:10,900 --> 01:03:15,180
at the like Elsonore Sheriff's Department Station

745
01:03:15,180 --> 01:03:19,060
since legal cannabis operators had been around.

746
01:03:19,340 --> 01:03:26,580
And so we hope to continue that and our security guards are 24 hours

747
01:03:26,580 --> 01:03:29,800
and they really lend themselves to the neighboring businesses.

748
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,780
And we've really seen the local businesses,

749
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:35,740
neighboring businesses really appreciate that.

750
01:03:37,860 --> 01:03:39,000
Next slide, please.

751
01:03:40,180 --> 01:03:42,500
And lastly, community support.

752
01:03:42,820 --> 01:03:49,260
And so here you'll see a letter of support signed by our landlord, Ed, who's here tonight,

753
01:03:49,500 --> 01:03:55,960
as well as the businesses who are operating within the plaza that we hope to join.

754
01:03:56,300 --> 01:04:02,360
And so, we've really heard from them firsthand that they really hope that we will get our

755
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:03,880
development agreement approved.

756
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:09,740
They believe that our business will bring security, lighting, safety to help address some

757
01:04:09,740 --> 01:04:16,120
of issues such as homelessness, and things like that with our increased foot traffic

758
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:16,680
and business.

759
01:04:17,420 --> 01:04:23,820
In addition, we do hold annual open house events to really keep the lines of communication

760
01:04:24,180 --> 01:04:26,200
and feedback open with the community.

761
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:33,320
So in conclusion, as the most experienced operator in California, as someone who's been an active

762
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:38,960
part in the Waldemar community and operator with the track record that we have we'd be honored

763
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:42,120
to have a second location in Waldemar and we thank you for your consideration.

764
01:04:42,780 --> 01:04:43,520
We're open to questions.

765
01:04:43,740 --> 01:04:43,980
Thank you.

766
01:04:44,980 --> 01:04:46,120
Thank you, Tak and Stephanie.

767
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:47,760
Any questions?

768
01:04:50,510 --> 01:04:57,770
I mean, a couple of notes, so okay, on here, let's go with, started with the neighborhood

769
01:04:57,770 --> 01:04:59,910
compatibility standards.

770
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:07,480
They're operating procedures. I'm sure that's what he is. So I've had somebody had called

771
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:13,740
and made a complaint, even though I've not shared the same experience. I probably go to

772
01:05:13,740 --> 01:05:19,020
World of War Square. It's at least three times a month. I go to Front Wave, and there's

773
01:05:19,020 --> 01:05:25,660
Angela. So at least three times a month, I've never seen anything out of order. But the claim

774
01:05:25,660 --> 01:05:34,680
was whether this person has seen but sees whether people consuming the product on the spot

775
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,720
or on the purchase.

776
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:44,140
And so I can see from your standard operating procedures, that's not something that you tolerate

777
01:05:44,140 --> 01:05:49,360
and if somebody was to report that to you guys, I'm guessing that you would want to take

778
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:50,940
that seriously, right, Arsama?

779
01:05:50,940 --> 01:05:57,640
Yes. So that's very unfortunate. That is one of our very strict policies that there's no consumption on the grounds.

780
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:05,860
It's a huge violation of state and city law. And so if we become aware of somebody doing that, we would ban them from the store.

781
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:16,580
Like I said, it's really easy if somebody gets into complain mode on the phone to hear several things that are not necessarily substantiated.

782
01:06:16,580 --> 01:06:22,960
So I did see the revenue figures that come to Will Demar, thank you, you know.

783
01:06:25,020 --> 01:06:30,040
And when you mentioned parking at Will Demar Square, I remember when they were first coming

784
01:06:30,580 --> 01:06:34,360
as a center, it's like are you guys trying to be the Trader Joe's of the area?

785
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,040
I mean why you're trying to have a bad parking lot?

786
01:06:36,420 --> 01:06:40,900
Whereas if you look like at this center which was designed in a different era and the same

787
01:06:40,900 --> 01:06:45,980
with the state of brothers, there's ample parking and frequently double lines between where

788
01:06:45,980 --> 01:06:52,580
you can easily park. And when that one was put in, I just thought, okay, I have a small

789
01:06:52,580 --> 01:06:56,420
little Honda fit, and I have a hard time getting in and out of those spaces. I do not know

790
01:06:56,420 --> 01:07:00,660
how people with a real car deal with it. So then, but here's a real question. You had

791
01:07:00,660 --> 01:07:05,040
said, and I had you not mention this, I wouldn't be asking the question, but you said, hey, there's

792
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:10,500
no, there's been no break-ins. Because we know that, you know, I have a question similar to

793
01:07:10,500 --> 01:07:15,360
this after, but how about robberies or hold-ups? Now, probably not in Wildomar, but you mentioned

794
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:16,460
mentioned all of your stories, so.

795
01:07:16,820 --> 01:07:18,220
Yes, so I'll be transparent.

796
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:19,920
I want to be completely transparent about that.

797
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,400
In Southern California, we have not had a robbery or

798
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,300
breaking or any sort of breach inside the store.

799
01:07:27,340 --> 01:07:30,500
In San Francisco, that's a little bit of a different story.

800
01:07:31,780 --> 01:07:34,520
We've been working with the San Francisco Police Department.

801
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:39,520
It's kind of almost a structural issue within the city over there.

802
01:07:41,380 --> 01:07:59,560
There's limitations on, for example, in most of our stores, we've started to put ballers in front of our front doors, these tall metal bolts, basically, so that, because we've heard, and we've seen in the National Northern California, people starting to ram their cars into the front door to get access.

803
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:06,300
But, for example, in San Francisco, we haven't been able to do that because there's some kind of log against that.

804
01:08:06,300 --> 01:08:15,940
And so those are the types of things that we're trying to work with the city on to improve that relationship and to really, you know, protect our employees and our customers.

805
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:23,060
But we have had probably a handful of break-ins after hour.

806
01:08:23,300 --> 01:08:27,480
We haven't had a single robbery while a store has been in operation.

807
01:08:27,480 --> 01:08:34,500
But after a store is closed, I would say we've had a handful of break-ins after hours

808
01:08:35,060 --> 01:08:38,520
in San Francisco and Oakland.

809
01:08:39,420 --> 01:08:45,360
So then just maybe you can help clear up, I don't know if there are misconceptions.

810
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:50,900
Because at one point, these were all cash businesses, but I know I've had a conversation in the

811
01:08:50,900 --> 01:08:55,580
last year and a half or so with somebody in this industry and they let me know that there

812
01:08:55,580 --> 01:08:59,560
There are ways that it's not an all-cache business anymore.

813
01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:05,260
How does that actually work, whether or not it's all-cache business or people can use credit card or

814
01:09:05,260 --> 01:09:08,380
Yes, so we have a, basically, a debit system.

815
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:13,080
We can take, it's a third-party vendor that takes debit for us.

816
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:17,500
And so I would say, I think, you know, majority of our customers use debit.

817
01:09:18,060 --> 01:09:24,880
And we also reduce the amount of cash we have in our vaults by having our security or

818
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:32,720
our banks actually come in and take our cash every day or every other day, which is much more frequent than most cannabis businesses.

819
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:40,140
And the third factor is, as Stephanie mentioned, we're one of the few companies that has 24 hour security guards.

820
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:45,140
Really the vulnerability, as I mentioned in Northern California, of these stores is at night.

821
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:53,320
And the fact that we have 24 hour security guards has really prevents people from attempting to break into our store.

822
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:59,720
where we actually did actually have one incident I think it was about a year ago, or two juveniles.

823
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:09,540
I don't know if they were trying to break in, but they took some hammers and were messing around with our window. But our security guard caught them right away and called the police.

824
01:10:12,540 --> 01:10:25,240
I think there was minor damage on the window. But I think the 24-hour security guard and our security system really helps to prevent any break-ins and certainly all robberies. Thank you for those answers.

825
01:10:27,550 --> 01:10:31,730
Hi, thank you, and I did meet with talk and Jennifer,

826
01:10:31,950 --> 01:10:33,170
or Stephanie, sorry, Stephanie.

827
01:10:33,810 --> 01:10:34,990
So thank you for that time.

828
01:10:35,870 --> 01:10:37,370
And thank you for taking it serious,

829
01:10:37,510 --> 01:10:39,770
and I know you participated on Saturday and Earth Day event,

830
01:10:39,870 --> 01:10:42,690
but we also, that first picture was one or two years ago.

831
01:10:43,030 --> 01:10:43,150
Sure.

832
01:10:43,370 --> 01:10:44,850
That we did a cleanup with you, too,

833
01:10:45,010 --> 01:10:47,670
because I had mentioned that we had seen some Stizzy Trash,

834
01:10:47,910 --> 01:10:50,370
and so thank you very much for taking that seriously.

835
01:10:51,310 --> 01:10:54,690
At the new center, I'm glad that there's 52 parking places,

836
01:10:54,690 --> 01:10:58,490
And I know I saw that I was looking for dominoes specifically on the letter and I know they

837
01:10:58,490 --> 01:10:59,110
say doff.

838
01:10:59,390 --> 01:11:02,170
But are there parking places just for the dominoes drivers?

839
01:11:03,090 --> 01:11:06,330
Because I just think that's an important, so

840
01:11:09,660 --> 01:11:11,060
I think that would just be important.

841
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,360
So I used to drive for dominoes a lot of time ago and I was younger.

842
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:18,160
And you know they need to get in and get their pizza and get out, so just a little plug

843
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:18,500
for them.

844
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:22,380
I think because you are going to increase, you're going to increase the traffic in that

845
01:11:22,380 --> 01:11:22,700
center.

846
01:11:23,060 --> 01:11:26,400
And I think for them that that's their business model is the delivery.

847
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,820
So they're drivers need to come in and get their pizza and get right back out.

848
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:31,240
So just my thought on that.

849
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:32,840
We're very open to that.

850
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:34,380
Okay, thank you.

851
01:11:34,740 --> 01:11:37,680
I'm just remembering when I used to drive.

852
01:11:40,380 --> 01:11:41,360
I have no questions.

853
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:46,940
I appreciate your presentation and you guys have a good stewards of the neighborhood and your business.

854
01:11:47,260 --> 01:11:48,820
So I appreciate it.

855
01:11:51,150 --> 01:11:54,510
So I also met with Stephanie actually yesterday.

856
01:11:55,890 --> 01:11:58,610
So first I just want to say thank you for reaching out.

857
01:11:58,610 --> 01:12:08,510
You know, it's very clear that you guys really take our residents' concerns, you know, to mind.

858
01:12:09,050 --> 01:12:12,850
And so I actually want to talk about some of the things that you and I discussed yesterday,

859
01:12:13,170 --> 01:12:14,690
that I didn't hear in the presentation.

860
01:12:15,830 --> 01:12:21,950
And some of the added benefits that your business actually brings to these clauses where you guys are located.

861
01:12:22,770 --> 01:12:26,250
So the first question is, how many security guards are on site?

862
01:12:26,950 --> 01:12:31,610
So we would typically have two to three security guards on site, two is the typical number

863
01:12:31,610 --> 01:12:36,450
of security guards we'll have on site on kind of off hours, but then as things get busier

864
01:12:36,450 --> 01:12:41,490
throughout the day from, say, 11 to 7, we'll typically have three security guards on site.

865
01:12:42,510 --> 01:12:50,310
Perfect. With regards to the parking, right, can you talk to us about average transaction time?

866
01:12:50,870 --> 01:12:55,310
Yeah, I think typically it's five minutes in and out the door.

867
01:12:56,190 --> 01:13:00,490
So I guess to alleviate some of the concerns for Councilmember Moore, a bit of five minute

868
01:13:00,490 --> 01:13:04,930
transaction time, to me it sounds like people are coming in and out doing their business

869
01:13:04,930 --> 01:13:08,850
and heading out and not necessarily spending time to consume the product on site.

870
01:13:12,010 --> 01:13:16,910
So again, you mentioned the 24 hour security team that works with your security guards that

871
01:13:16,910 --> 01:13:17,550
are on site.

872
01:13:19,770 --> 01:13:34,650
This might be a question for Lieutenant Clark, I don't know if you want to come up in the answer, but can you talk to us about, I guess, the current experience or benefit that you've seen to,

873
01:13:36,730 --> 01:13:40,270
you know, at the current plaza on hidden screens versus these located, right?

874
01:13:40,270 --> 01:13:45,710
I'm assuming they're going to try to replicate some of that same or that those benefits will kind of carry over to the new location.

875
01:13:45,890 --> 01:13:49,170
So if you can talk to us about the

876
01:13:51,350 --> 01:13:57,430
amount of gets crime or lack of that you see in a plaza that has a cannabis business.

877
01:13:58,290 --> 01:13:58,730
Certainly.

878
01:13:59,070 --> 01:14:08,850
So not to in the recent past, Mr. York asked me to look into what the trends are in and around our cash

879
01:14:08,850 --> 01:14:13,290
locations and since the inception of the legalization of the cannabis have I seen any trends

880
01:14:13,290 --> 01:14:18,850
or patterns in increased criminal activity in the city at large and also specifically

881
01:14:18,850 --> 01:14:23,210
around these businesses and we have a crime analyst as you know that she's trained

882
01:14:23,210 --> 01:14:29,090
in analyzing crime stats and that's all she does. We were not able to locate any sort of

883
01:14:29,090 --> 01:14:35,210
trend that would identify that the dispensaries are having increased the crime at their

884
01:14:35,210 --> 01:14:40,010
location specifically, or that there's been a corresponding increase in crime throughout

885
01:14:40,010 --> 01:14:45,190
the city as they've come online and increased in your city, and I think a lot of that speaks

886
01:14:45,190 --> 01:14:50,550
to your preparation if you're praying the ordinance, and I was talking Stephanie when she

887
01:14:50,550 --> 01:14:55,630
was at the station that there's been a big shift when dispensaries before they were legal

888
01:14:55,630 --> 01:14:59,610
and before councils were actually putting ordinances in place.

889
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,080
All this stuff, you know, the owners of Columbia Law School graduate, like these were not the owners of dispensaries in the past. And dispensaries did have a negative impact on the communities because they were poorly run. They were designed just to make as much money as possible and give absolutely nothing back to the community and regardless of whatever nuisance they create a community was irrelevant. That does not seem to be the case. Things change, owners change, managers change. So as you're law enforcement official, I'm constantly looking and identifying trends.

890
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:33,340
that if an individual place were to become an issue, that'd be something that me and

891
01:15:33,340 --> 01:15:38,300
Mr. York and Captain Rills had a discussion about and deal with co-inforcing, we deal with

892
01:15:38,300 --> 01:15:41,380
that specifically, but I think that answers your question.

893
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:51,500
It does, and I guess my follow-up to that is, do you notice a lot of unhoused individuals

894
01:15:51,500 --> 01:15:55,140
rules, frequenting around these areas?

895
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:57,260
I do not.

896
01:15:58,740 --> 01:16:02,520
A lot, I think, is a term that, I mean,

897
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,240
I think your point time count was nine.

898
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:11,100
So, I think in the general, the broad scheme,

899
01:16:11,440 --> 01:16:14,140
broad scope, the world market does not have an outrageous,

900
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,180
homeless problem as it is.

901
01:16:17,340 --> 01:16:20,440
I think as they were discussing, they're in and out times about five minutes.

902
01:16:20,440 --> 01:16:24,620
Those people are not lingering, they're not hanging out, like given almost people money.

903
01:16:25,500 --> 01:16:28,920
Any business, right, where people are coming out, like it's possible that almost people

904
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:33,340
come around, security guards hanging around, it's not something that's a place where they

905
01:16:33,340 --> 01:16:34,900
usually tend to congregate.

906
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:36,640
All right, thank you.

907
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:37,080
That's all right.

908
01:16:37,140 --> 01:16:37,860
That's my question for you.

909
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:38,660
Thank you.

910
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:39,220
Thank you.

911
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:40,140
You're welcome to interrupt your presentation.

912
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:41,280
Thank you.

913
01:16:41,820 --> 01:16:42,320
Let's see.

914
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:51,720
I guess the last part I wanted to highlight is just around perception of the added benefit

915
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:59,360
to the property owner of having your business there, so it's great that you were able to not only get his support

916
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:04,740
but the support of the surrounding businesses, yeah, it's different for me, thank you.

917
01:17:05,380 --> 01:17:09,660
Oh wait, I did have one question, when do you guys intend to open?

918
01:17:10,180 --> 01:17:14,480
I think if we have the honor of getting approval tonight, we can be open in two to three months.

919
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:15,720
Okay, thank you.

920
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:16,500
I

921
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:22,700
have a few comments and then we'll go to public comment.

922
01:17:25,260 --> 01:17:30,500
So Stephanie and I met and so I think she may have had some concerns about a prior

923
01:17:30,500 --> 01:17:33,800
vote that I had and I see this as a different project.

924
01:17:34,300 --> 01:17:40,940
My concerns specific to that project were specific and it's impact on the neighborhood.

925
01:17:42,700 --> 01:17:58,940
I do like that you guys are your own competition. I think that you have been good actors in the space and so as a city, I think it's, you know, a benefit to us that we can continue to work with you.

926
01:17:59,020 --> 01:18:08,420
I think there would be another cannabis store there if it wasn't you. It probably be somebody else as the CUP is still there.

927
01:18:08,420 --> 01:18:14,800
And so I do appreciate that it is you because you have been good to work with and really

928
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:20,660
especially appreciate your conscientiousness to the community, as well as taking the

929
01:18:20,660 --> 01:18:22,240
security very seriously.

930
01:18:23,100 --> 01:18:27,580
And I think with your record, I think that you'll continue to take that seriously because

931
01:18:27,580 --> 01:18:32,220
that's a really good, I mean, I hate to say badge of honor, but kind of, you know, to be

932
01:18:32,220 --> 01:18:36,500
to say that you have had these break-ins or robberies in Southern California.

933
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:37,980
So appreciate that.

934
01:18:40,490 --> 01:18:46,810
I appreciate that alleviated, again, being your own competition to some extent,

935
01:18:47,270 --> 01:18:48,810
alleviating the pressure on that parking lot.

936
01:18:49,350 --> 01:18:52,570
As Joseph said, we all are in that parking lot with some frequency.

937
01:18:53,270 --> 01:18:57,870
And so I can also appreciate the alleviation of some of that traffic

938
01:18:57,870 --> 01:19:03,430
they can provide in another location is sounds like a good idea.

939
01:19:04,590 --> 01:19:09,030
I appreciate that you went to the effort of creating the letter of support.

940
01:19:10,330 --> 01:19:16,610
I think that was a good proactive measure considering that you probably would rightly

941
01:19:16,610 --> 01:19:22,830
assume that we might wonder what the neighbors think and what the existing businesses think

942
01:19:22,830 --> 01:19:23,210
about it.

943
01:19:23,210 --> 01:19:30,150
And so we appreciate you taking that step without, you know, as having to ask for it or anything and additionally taking the step and talking to

944
01:19:30,770 --> 01:19:32,690
Riversay Sheriff's Department and

945
01:19:32,690 --> 01:19:34,430
Appreciate all of that

946
01:19:36,070 --> 01:19:37,630
So I think that is

947
01:19:39,590 --> 01:19:41,150
All for my

948
01:19:42,110 --> 01:19:47,550
My comments and then now we're going to have public comments if you can hang tight if in case there are any questions from the public

949
01:19:47,550 --> 01:19:48,370
Thank you so much.

950
01:19:50,460 --> 01:19:54,060
Any public comments. Yes. We have one public comment Ed Mansky

951
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:13,320
Hello. Maybe I'm Manzki.

952
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:21,880
I own the shopping center where Stizzy hopefully will be opening up soon.

953
01:20:24,220 --> 01:20:32,800
There isn't much I can add. They certainly made a wonderful presentation. The only thing I will add is I

954
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:41,240
personally went to every one of the tenants in charge to them. I talked to Raja Sorani

955
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:49,980
he owns the Domino Star. He owns 16 Domino's and this particular location is his second best

956
01:20:49,980 --> 01:20:59,180
store and he is very anxious to have a dispensary back in there again. Many reasons and the

957
01:20:59,180 --> 01:21:10,300
same reason why Union 76 and Rocket fast food are also anxious to get a cannabis dispensary

958
01:21:10,300 --> 01:21:10,960
there again.

959
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:21,460
We had culture in there. Now I have no reason to doubt that they had a good reason to

960
01:21:21,460 --> 01:21:27,280
move. I don't know why, but they closed three stores in two weeks. But when they were there,

961
01:21:28,140 --> 01:21:37,840
we had no crime, we had no graffiti, and we had no panhandling. They closed up, I believe it was

962
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:48,520
So July, all of a sudden, the panhandlers came back, the graffiti came back, and the

963
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:52,980
business for all the other tenants dropped off a little bit.

964
01:21:54,620 --> 01:22:02,760
Union 76, they said their business dropped off considerably because the dispensary brought

965
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:07,560
a lot of business in there. And they were very pleased with it. And nobody complained.

966
01:22:08,620 --> 01:22:15,100
And I spoke with the manager of Union 76 last week.

967
01:22:17,110 --> 01:22:20,470
She said even the customers there

968
01:22:20,470 --> 01:22:26,590
after you folks put the big sign up, keep coming in. Oh, what are they coming in? We can't

969
01:22:26,590 --> 01:22:32,790
wait to have them back. Anyway, that's all I'll already have to say. And I hope you'll

970
01:22:32,790 --> 01:22:41,710
consider, before I made a deal with Sisi, I personally investigated them and they appeared

971
01:22:41,710 --> 01:22:49,370
to be from what I could figure out, one of the most successful and how would you say

972
01:22:49,370 --> 01:22:58,850
it best run companies, and a landlord loves that, but thank you very much, appreciate it.

973
01:22:58,850 --> 01:22:59,670
Thank you, Ed.

974
01:23:00,290 --> 01:23:01,090
Any questions?

975
01:23:02,110 --> 01:23:02,290
There.

976
01:23:02,590 --> 01:23:02,670
There.

977
01:23:02,890 --> 01:23:03,650
A certain of the question.

978
01:23:03,770 --> 01:23:04,230
But I agree.

979
01:23:04,650 --> 01:23:10,570
So, Dan Gonson, Richard Pearson, back there, the graffiti has increased around your shop,

980
01:23:11,050 --> 01:23:11,630
your location.

981
01:23:12,110 --> 01:23:15,550
I totally agree with that, because we've been painting some of the graffiti, and I know you

982
01:23:15,550 --> 01:23:16,070
have been too.

983
01:23:16,570 --> 01:23:16,770
All right.

984
01:23:16,990 --> 01:23:18,670
It has increased lately in that area.

985
01:23:19,350 --> 01:23:20,250
So hopefully, don't.

986
01:23:20,370 --> 01:23:21,090
I'm sure he's going to help that out.

987
01:23:21,310 --> 01:23:21,470
Yeah.

988
01:23:22,750 --> 01:23:22,810
Yeah.

989
01:23:24,850 --> 01:23:25,590
Thank you, Ed.

990
01:23:26,070 --> 01:23:26,530
Any more questions?

991
01:23:27,050 --> 01:23:29,830
Okay. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it.

992
01:23:29,850 --> 01:23:30,530
Thank you.

993
01:23:31,410 --> 01:23:32,930
Do we have any more public comments?

994
01:23:33,570 --> 01:23:34,670
No, public comments.

995
01:23:35,290 --> 01:23:37,510
Last chance. Anybody who knows your time?

996
01:23:41,580 --> 01:23:43,800
All right, so do I have a motion?

997
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:46,400
You always have a motion for me.

998
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:48,000
Let's see here.

999
01:23:48,780 --> 01:23:51,740
I will make a motion to approve ordinance number 250.

1000
01:23:52,340 --> 01:23:55,060
A second. All right.

1001
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:55,780
All in favor?

1002
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:56,400
Aye.

1003
01:23:59,300 --> 01:23:59,860
All

1004
01:24:07,510 --> 01:24:14,050
right, that brings us to item number 3.1, third quarter budget report by Adam Jantz.

1005
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:33,180
Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, Council members, members of the public and fellow city staff.

1006
01:24:33,780 --> 01:24:42,840
My name is Adam Jantz, I'm the finance manager here at the city and I'm here to you today to present the third quarter FY 2425 budget report.

1007
01:24:44,220 --> 01:24:49,160
the first slide please. So some of the proposed revenue adjustments.

1008
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:52,500
So to kick off some of

1009
01:24:52,500 --> 01:24:57,020
the proposed adjustments, this is kind of a third quarter is kind of a bit of a cleanup

1010
01:24:57,020 --> 01:24:59,920
that period to kind of true adapt to certain degrees.

1011
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:27,160
We agree so that we can do projections going to the next biennial budget, which we're following this is another business item for the workshop. So one of our adjustments is to a just several of our revenues, development revenue is still high. But one thing to keep in mind is another reason why we're going to adjust this is adjusting the revenue a bit has been also just the conversion to fixed fees. This is really our first full year. And so we've been kind of going back and forth on switching over,

1012
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:30,480
We're clearing out a developer to pause us to switch to fixed fees.

1013
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:36,300
Even in light of that, we have been having luckily a little bit higher than average

1014
01:25:36,300 --> 01:25:38,660
development activity with some of the developments coming in.

1015
01:25:39,440 --> 01:25:43,120
Also VLF property tax in lieu, we did get the first half of those payments, so we know

1016
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:44,140
what those are going to be.

1017
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:46,060
We get those into installments.

1018
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:53,060
As you know, those are actually, even though they call it VLF as a VLF in lieu, so it's actually

1019
01:25:53,060 --> 01:25:58,880
of Sheriff property tax from the county in lieu of the vehicle fees that they took back

1020
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:05,200
in 2011. So that's a little bit higher. And we also are making adjustments to revenues

1021
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:10,440
for various CIPs. This doesn't affect anything that's been awarded. It's just we try to

1022
01:26:10,440 --> 01:26:14,900
truth it up so that we have accurate projections going into the biennial to avoid double budgeting

1023
01:26:14,900 --> 01:26:19,680
where we have the full amount budget for the year and one year and then we carry it over

1024
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,560
the next year and it's in the full mountain both years. So we just tried to

1025
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,480
true that up a little bit. Next slide please.

1026
01:26:28,440 --> 01:26:31,020
So another item is to revisit the

1027
01:26:31,020 --> 01:26:36,160
in the previous February meeting we had this we asked for direction from the

1028
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:41,040
council regarding the surplus from fiscal year 2324. And so we've took in those

1029
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:47,600
and answered them now into the proposal for the third quarter adjustments as there's

1030
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:53,160
quite a bit of I'm doing how to account for them. So we are asking for motions on these

1031
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:57,740
I suggested actions from the council on each of these items to approve them all. So one

1032
01:26:57,740 --> 01:27:04,100
of them was to use 900,000 of the 3.5 million dollars surplus for a pension liability to

1033
01:27:04,100 --> 01:27:10,360
off to set aside money for our unfunded liability payments regarding our our pension program

1034
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:17,080
CalPERS and the subsequent PEPRA pensions so we would be establishing a separate

1035
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:25,220
fund 103 to track that and also committing a portion of the surplus for

1036
01:27:25,220 --> 01:27:31,520
a public safety reserve about 1.7 million to help provide a cushioning for

1037
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:37,160
the increasing rates for public safety so just for a little bit of a picture we've

1038
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:53,580
kind of aware that it was coming on, we did recently have a partners meeting and the increase for the current year 2425 for a standard officer, the rate increase turned out to be 7.03% with a projection for next fiscal year of 9.5% increase on top of that.

1039
01:27:54,280 --> 01:28:01,500
So that's why we're looking to kind of ensure that we have that cushioning for as rates continue to increase.

1040
01:28:01,500 --> 01:28:07,840
is the increase in, well, it's still out on what 26, 27, whether that rate will be more

1041
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:13,080
down towards 4% or higher, again, that will still be, it's still under, you know, review

1042
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:19,520
from the HARSO. Another item is establishing a fund 130 for the field operation center

1043
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:25,540
and set aside 500,000 that kind of is seed money to see as we now, with our, as we build

1044
01:28:25,540 --> 01:28:29,960
up our road maintenance program, we need a staging area. So, we are looking at setting

1045
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:34,140
aside that money is separate fund to kind of your market which will then be funded by allocations

1046
01:28:34,140 --> 01:28:40,500
from other funds that utilize that operation center for vehicle staging and equipment staging

1047
01:28:40,500 --> 01:28:45,220
and you know a hot mix or a cold mix that we store on site. So we've established a fund

1048
01:28:45,220 --> 01:28:52,580
for that as well as an asset replacement fund. We created 105 fund 105 to fund it with

1049
01:28:52,580 --> 01:28:57,740
initial 350 million. Now this is not just for vehicles or other items such as we own the

1050
01:28:57,740 --> 01:29:02,500
city hall so the roof and age facts and other items like that may eventually need to be replaced

1051
01:29:02,500 --> 01:29:08,760
in the next five to ten years so this isn't a sudden in the and this year item but for

1052
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:14,860
the future. Next slide please. And so in light of that those adjustments are reflected if

1053
01:29:14,860 --> 01:29:19,200
they are approved in the proposed budget which is why you see us back in the transfers out

1054
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:24,720
as those are not being spent per se are just moved to the fund so that they can be earmarked

1055
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:28,800
segregated into their own funds so that we can share that they're used for the designated

1056
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:29,200
uses.

1057
01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:36,180
So there's a $350,000 surplus to the asset replacement fund, 900 for the pension liability and 500

1058
01:29:36,180 --> 01:29:37,340
for the fuel operations.

1059
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:38,960
Next slide, please.

1060
01:29:41,420 --> 01:29:47,360
And in terms of expenditure adjustments, there are a few adjustments that we need that we

1061
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:47,920
are proposing.

1062
01:29:48,340 --> 01:29:51,240
One is an admin services for the continued ERP implementation.

1063
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:59,960
We were using ARPA for that item but now as we came up on the end of when we have to commit those ones we committed those for the cemetery frontage.

1064
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:29,980
So, there are still some work to be done on the implementation on our site in my division. So, we need additional 50,000 for that to continue the implementation with the Oracle. Also, there's been some additional purchases that need to be done in IT services regarding some new switches and UPS and under the power supply as we are seeking to utilize some of our additional sweets that have been vacant for our additional, like our road maintenance crew and other, as we try to utilize some additional

1065
01:30:29,980 --> 01:30:44,380
So those need to be built out of it and also as noted the public safety rate increase that we had so we are adding 236,000 to the proposed police expenditure budget to reflect the increase in rates.

1066
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:57,560
So the way that works is we have a projection and then around this time March, they come out with the final reconciled numbers and then they true up the expenditures even though we pay the previous bills.

1067
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:01,300
So they'll go back and we'll pay the difference for the correct amount.

1068
01:31:01,780 --> 01:31:08,060
So we are increasing by that 236,000, which also includes a slight adjustment for the facility as well,

1069
01:31:08,100 --> 01:31:12,100
which is also we pay a share of the, for that mean it's cost of that also in our station.

1070
01:31:12,220 --> 01:31:14,400
So that's why the 236,000 dollars come from.

1071
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:15,900
Next slide please.

1072
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:26,300
For the non-general fund adjustments, another item is we're looking at adjustment for a backup motorcycle.

1073
01:31:28,940 --> 01:31:39,660
So the original motorcycle that was purchased in 2019 is no longer functioning and so we only have the single motorcycle for the one officer.

1074
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:51,320
So we've had an offer to acquire the back of motorcycle from the city like El Sonor to utilize that generous offer for only 10,000.

1075
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:54,000
that still has almost half its life on it to be a backup.

1076
01:31:54,440 --> 01:31:58,500
So in the event, because at this point we still a bit out

1077
01:31:58,500 --> 01:32:00,820
on when motorcycles will become available from BMW.

1078
01:32:00,820 --> 01:32:03,000
Last I heard was maybe July.

1079
01:32:03,480 --> 01:32:07,080
So this will be a backup if our current one is out for shop

1080
01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:10,600
or if we get a second motorcycle officer that's to go

1081
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:12,940
into effect next fiscal year, that then they will have

1082
01:32:12,940 --> 01:32:15,800
something to utilize until we can actually get a full-time

1083
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:16,280
new one.

1084
01:32:17,100 --> 01:32:19,940
And also some de-appropriations as noted for capital budget

1085
01:32:19,940 --> 01:32:25,300
balances that are unspent to carry the next fiscal year, and the exception of the field

1086
01:32:25,300 --> 01:32:27,980
operations center fund, which I mentioned previously.

1087
01:32:28,780 --> 01:32:29,200
Next slide, please.

1088
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:35,840
And so this is just kind of a snapshot of what the proposed fiscal year 24 to 25 will

1089
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:41,400
look like with the, um, all the proposed adjustments as of 3rd quarter, with our starting balance

1090
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:47,960
of 8.2, around 8.4 million, with revenues of 19,685 and expenditures, which include the

1091
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,900
It transfers out of 20 million, 776.

1092
01:32:51,220 --> 01:32:53,300
We'd end up with a slight dip in fund balance.

1093
01:32:53,540 --> 01:32:56,140
Of course, those monies are still around to help

1094
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:59,680
user-destinated uses out and ending fund balance

1095
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:01,560
fell at 7.1 million.

1096
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:03,740
Next slide, please.

1097
01:33:04,540 --> 01:33:06,800
And as noted in the previous promise,

1098
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:11,280
this is our tentative five-year forecast

1099
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,760
that we brought up, which incorporates the higher rates.

1100
01:33:13,900 --> 01:33:15,860
And you'll see this talked about a little bit more.

1101
01:33:15,860 --> 01:33:22,720
We're extrapolated on in the budget workshop that reflects the slight dip in the third quarter.

1102
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:27,460
If we utilize these transfers out, and also the public safety reserve reflect is.

1103
01:33:27,620 --> 01:33:33,000
So as you can see with the current projections, we are maintaining our reserves throughout the next five years.

1104
01:33:33,780 --> 01:33:37,820
And with that, I conclude my presentation and I hope it didn't any questions.

1105
01:33:38,220 --> 01:33:38,400
Thank you.

1106
01:33:39,620 --> 01:33:40,460
Thank you, Adam.

1107
01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:43,200
Any questions?

1108
01:33:44,300 --> 01:33:45,620
Actually, I don't have just the one.

1109
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:51,360
My ears propped up when you said the wait list for BMW motorcycle, and I magically think

1110
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:52,160
of tariffs.

1111
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:57,820
And so do we have any idea of what we factored in, what that may or not, may not be, what

1112
01:33:57,820 --> 01:33:59,500
is the cost currently?

1113
01:33:59,740 --> 01:34:06,100
It's about, last quote, it was about 48,000, just the motorcycle.

1114
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:12,300
And so there's not been, from whoever the dealer is, that I just said in Notice July, they're

1115
01:34:12,300 --> 01:34:15,880
look at our next shipment? I guess we'll find out.

1116
01:34:22,860 --> 01:34:24,460
So I know in May we're going to have

1117
01:34:24,460 --> 01:34:28,380
our budget workshop cracked so we're going to wait by our residents to come down in.

1118
01:34:28,460 --> 01:34:35,300
For public safety. And you had mentioned so there's going to be a 7% increase for just RSO

1119
01:34:35,300 --> 01:34:41,720
or is it also got fire or just? No so the one caveat about this is that we only know

1120
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:47,800
the current rates in the estimates for RSO the 7% is not for fire that's only for RSO

1121
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:50,680
and that's specifically on their main uniformed officer.

1122
01:34:51,380 --> 01:34:52,440
So it is actually a little bit,

1123
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:54,040
they have different rates that they calculate.

1124
01:34:54,260 --> 01:34:57,600
So it actually went down a little bit on like the,

1125
01:34:57,760 --> 01:34:59,860
I believe the Community Services Officers.

1126
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:24,980
It was less than what we did budget to increase, so it actually kind of washed a little bit with the AA for the set officers and the community services, but then that traffic officer, it did increase by about 7%. So, kind of washed in AA, but the big increases in the general general uniformed officer policing. And you're projecting the next year to be 9.2%. They projected that, yes.

1127
01:35:27,620 --> 01:35:33,300
Okay, but I guess I'm still confused. So it's seven percent. But then this time.

1128
01:35:33,480 --> 01:35:34,440
Seven percent for there.

1129
01:35:34,900 --> 01:35:36,860
That is nine percent on top of the five percent.

1130
01:35:36,980 --> 01:35:39,780
And then next year they're rejecting we nine point five percent on top of that.

1131
01:35:39,900 --> 01:35:44,180
Seven percent. Yeah. Okay. So just like I know it's so far residents, you know,

1132
01:35:44,300 --> 01:35:49,340
personally our bills go up. And then also the city expenses are going up as well.

1133
01:35:50,420 --> 01:35:52,580
I'm okay with this. I we definitely need.

1134
01:35:52,580 --> 01:35:55,000
And we want no offended liability, right?

1135
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:57,000
Our pension liability, so I definitely agree with that.

1136
01:35:57,560 --> 01:36:02,200
I just want to make sure that we are going to have, because we have so many projects coming on board.

1137
01:36:02,380 --> 01:36:06,740
And earlier when it was mentioned, I really want to get the CIP for the format to go in at the park.

1138
01:36:07,520 --> 01:36:13,760
So I want to make sure that we still have all the other projects that are going on, are going to have enough funding.

1139
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:16,960
Yeah, I can speak to that.

1140
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:22,020
So what we've de-appropriated is just based on the projects and when they're going to go out to construction.

1141
01:36:22,620 --> 01:36:29,720
So we haven't removed project funding, we've just either kept it in this fiscal year, if we expect to go out to construction by the end of June.

1142
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:35,020
Or de-appropriated it so we can re-budget it beginning July of this year.

1143
01:36:35,340 --> 01:36:39,840
Okay, so for the next year we still have the format in May or June.

1144
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:42,180
Correct, yeah, we didn't move the funds for that project.

1145
01:36:42,180 --> 01:36:50,120
And then do we have any idea yet for the east side of Bendy County from Bendy to the mission trial that needs to be?

1146
01:36:50,180 --> 01:36:50,800
For the west side?

1147
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:51,620
That needs to go to Bendy.

1148
01:36:51,620 --> 01:36:52,180
For the west side?

1149
01:36:53,500 --> 01:36:53,960
To.

1150
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:55,900
I think that needs to go to Bendy.

1151
01:36:56,340 --> 01:36:58,360
Yeah, so to rehab the pavement.

1152
01:36:58,660 --> 01:37:03,920
Yeah, so we're currently working on the bid package for that to get that out.

1153
01:37:04,480 --> 01:37:07,820
So that will be affected by this budget.

1154
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:11,760
And depending on the timing, it'll still either, like I said, it'll either be included.

1155
01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:13,520
or carried over into the next budget.

1156
01:37:13,980 --> 01:37:14,040
Okay.

1157
01:37:14,440 --> 01:37:15,120
So I want to make sure,

1158
01:37:15,460 --> 01:37:16,980
because we need that stretch done.

1159
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:19,380
So thank you.

1160
01:37:22,940 --> 01:37:24,360
No, I just have one hour or so.

1161
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:25,340
Comment on the

1162
01:37:27,580 --> 01:37:28,680
17%.

1163
01:37:29,220 --> 01:37:30,840
I think one thing I just want to clarify,

1164
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:32,860
the council member more caught

1165
01:37:32,860 --> 01:37:34,340
during the presentation at him.

1166
01:37:34,860 --> 01:37:38,280
He might have added a couple of zeros to one of those numbers.

1167
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:40,680
So for those that are in the audience

1168
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:42,880
and listening to the presentation,

1169
01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:46,140
it's 350,000 at 350 million.

1170
01:37:46,140 --> 01:37:49,800
I wish we had that kind of money.

1171
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:01,620
Okay, thank you, Adam, so any public comments?

1172
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:03,820
No public comments.

1173
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:07,580
Okay, last chance, anyone want to give a public comment?

1174
01:38:11,060 --> 01:38:11,740
Right, do you have a motion?

1175
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:17,860
Well, I'll make a motion to approve resolution 2025-12.

1176
01:38:18,700 --> 01:38:19,180
I'll second that.

1177
01:38:19,740 --> 01:38:20,200
All in favor?

1178
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:20,900
Aye.

1179
01:38:22,740 --> 01:38:24,140
Motion carries 5-0.

1180
01:38:24,780 --> 01:38:26,260
Okay, this brings us to 3.2.

1181
01:38:27,500 --> 01:38:29,300
Also, is it ended by out of juice?

1182
01:38:29,300 --> 01:38:29,760
Yeah, up here.

1183
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:33,040
And the heavy lifting again?

1184
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:47,450
So now that we just concluded talking about fiscal year year 2425 year, we are now here

1185
01:38:47,450 --> 01:38:53,010
to delve into our review our draft for the community development and public works budgets

1186
01:38:53,010 --> 01:38:59,730
for the next two years, fiscal year 2526 and fiscal year 2627.

1187
01:38:59,730 --> 01:39:05,930
So I'll kick off with the introduction and go off to a few slides here for a minute

1188
01:39:05,930 --> 01:39:10,710
and then I'll turn it over to the department heads to give their overview of the department.

1189
01:39:11,310 --> 01:39:12,090
So first slide please.

1190
01:39:13,250 --> 01:39:19,430
So first I wanted to just showcase what our projections are regarding our comparison between

1191
01:39:19,430 --> 01:39:26,650
our revenues and anticipated staffing costs, both contractual and salary positions as to

1192
01:39:26,650 --> 01:39:27,750
how we're budgeting for it.

1193
01:39:28,310 --> 01:39:32,970
So, as you can see, it's been kind of hovering around 26% of our revenues.

1194
01:39:33,410 --> 01:39:43,290
That dip in 2324 is from our spike in property tax revenues and also the conversion of fixed fees,

1195
01:39:45,110 --> 01:39:47,210
which changes the way they recognize the revenues.

1196
01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:51,610
And then, as you can see, it increases a little bit with our projections as we're hiring.

1197
01:39:51,930 --> 01:39:56,830
But then, as time goes on, the revenues will outpace it and you see the percentage decline.

1198
01:39:56,830 --> 01:39:59,790
And you can see the comparison between the payroll

1199
01:40:00,590 --> 01:40:30,430
The contract's part declined as we increase the staffing and convert them over to city staff. So we'll start to go down then over time. Next slide, please. Another item that we're looking at that isn't yet included, is a shift differential, which is an additional pay for working non-standard shifts, such as weekends. The city is in the process of researching the implementation of a shift differential to compensate staff for working on different shifts.

1200
01:40:30,430 --> 01:40:32,330
but it's not incorporated in the budget yet.

1201
01:40:32,870 --> 01:40:35,690
This will be addressed in personnel rules, update in May,

1202
01:40:36,270 --> 01:40:37,950
and will hopefully be incorporated then.

1203
01:40:39,070 --> 01:40:39,730
Next slide, please.

1204
01:40:40,530 --> 01:40:42,450
So before we kick off the Community Development,

1205
01:40:42,870 --> 01:40:45,890
this is just, there is an item in the report,

1206
01:40:46,150 --> 01:40:48,490
but it's kind of hard to read when I put on a slide,

1207
01:40:48,490 --> 01:40:50,150
so this is an overview of how the revenues

1208
01:40:50,150 --> 01:40:52,390
and the expenditures community development track.

1209
01:40:52,770 --> 01:40:56,030
So on our fairly conservative revenue estimates,

1210
01:40:56,250 --> 01:40:59,430
based on the anticipated developments

1211
01:40:59,430 --> 01:41:05,990
Developments that are coming up, we are anticipating that the revenue will cover the expenditures for the next two years cycle.

1212
01:41:06,510 --> 01:41:15,730
And with that, I will, the next slide I will turn over to our new community development director, Steven Jones, to discuss the community development budgets.

1213
01:41:16,290 --> 01:41:19,390
Thank you, Adam. Good evening, honorable mayor and council members.

1214
01:41:19,850 --> 01:41:25,670
Steven Jones here to represent community development, which encompasses three core divisions, building and safety, code enforcement and planning.

1215
01:41:25,670 --> 01:41:32,830
Please note that preparations and projections for a code enforcement are included in the forthcoming public safety budget work chart materials and

1216
01:41:33,830 --> 01:41:34,190
the mission

1217
01:41:34,910 --> 01:41:41,550
Community development is to plan for maintain and enhance the quality of life for wood of our residents from wood and high quality development

1218
01:41:42,250 --> 01:41:49,130
supporting economic vitality and ensuring compliance with city codes and ordinance ordinances all in alignment with the city's vision

1219
01:41:49,670 --> 01:41:55,610
Statement endorsed by your council over the budget cycle the department has achieved several key goals

1220
01:41:55,670 --> 01:42:01,190
The building and safety division process more than 3,000 plain checks and issued over 2,500 permits.

1221
01:42:01,710 --> 01:42:07,750
We successfully implemented a valuation-based fee system to enhance accuracy and increase revenue precision.

1222
01:42:08,610 --> 01:42:13,910
And transition from contract staffing to in-house support and inspection personnel.

1223
01:42:14,430 --> 01:42:21,730
This shift has allowed us to capture more revenue and reduce expenditures and limit the need for specialized outside services.

1224
01:42:21,730 --> 01:42:34,670
Additionally, the planning division under the City of Managers Leadership Informer Director Matt Bassie's guidance led the city's first ever adoption of a comprehensive general plan updating code development update.

1225
01:42:35,030 --> 01:42:40,710
Those are major milestones and wins for the city and I feel lucky to have coming to that. I don't have to do all that work.

1226
01:42:41,390 --> 01:42:44,490
So that's good. Looking ahead to the next budget cycle.

1227
01:42:44,490 --> 01:42:59,450
Our short-term goals are directly aligned with Council priorities one, two, and three fostering a safe and family-friendly environment, engaging and encouraging responsible growth and development and supporting long-term economic health.

1228
01:43:00,550 --> 01:43:06,170
These goals are instrumental in advancing the purposeful implementation of that new

1229
01:43:06,170 --> 01:43:10,930
Guldamar general plan, facilitating that general plan through zoning code updates and

1230
01:43:10,930 --> 01:43:14,490
by guiding principles and projects that are consistent with the new development standards

1231
01:43:14,490 --> 01:43:20,390
ensure we remain true, ensure we remain true rather to the council's vision for the savings

1232
01:43:20,390 --> 01:43:20,750
future.

1233
01:43:21,190 --> 01:43:21,750
Next slide, please.

1234
01:43:22,950 --> 01:43:27,750
Within building and safety, we aim to streamline intergovernmental coordination through the

1235
01:43:27,750 --> 01:43:41,090
the creation of structure abatement programs, and formalize existing code interpretations, policies, and procedures so that documentation is clear and evident, and streamlines meaningful engagement with the community.

1236
01:43:41,510 --> 01:43:47,590
These efforts directly support priority one by promoting a safe and active community, and next slide please.

1237
01:43:48,670 --> 01:43:54,090
Finally, the department is evaluating the potential to further expand our in-house staffing capacity.

1238
01:43:54,090 --> 01:44:04,070
These potentials would reduce reliance on contract services, and we anticipate opportunities for cost savings and increased efficiency, particularly in processing time and service delivery.

1239
01:44:04,770 --> 01:44:08,950
And before I turn it over to Adam, back over to Adam, I am available for questions.

1240
01:44:10,190 --> 01:44:11,790
Thank you. Any questions?

1241
01:44:14,040 --> 01:44:14,380
Thanks.

1242
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:14,780
Thank you.

1243
01:44:14,940 --> 01:44:15,800
I do have a question.

1244
01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:20,220
So you just mentioned potentially expanding staff, right?

1245
01:44:20,220 --> 01:44:26,220
and bringing some of those current, the contracted services in-house only because the

1246
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:29,280
chart is a little difficult to read from here right now.

1247
01:44:29,540 --> 01:44:34,940
Yeah, could you give us that insight or the clarity around where do you see the expansion?

1248
01:44:35,440 --> 01:44:39,320
Sure, it looks like in the third quarter we anticipate being able to bring on a plan,

1249
01:44:39,540 --> 01:44:45,060
examineer one or two, and that would reduce again that need for contract services.

1250
01:44:45,060 --> 01:44:59,240
and right now, the new system allowed the city to only require a percentage or pay a percentage of permit fees as opposed to recently there had been a set fee.

1251
01:45:00,110 --> 01:45:30,090
It was a little draining in revenue, so this bringing on of a plan, the governor and the third quarter would reduce the planning, professional and contractual services. And then with planning, assistant planner is a hope. And again, if we bring on an assistant planner, based on the projections, they would be able to handle the development code updates that are required and also the specific plans and projects that we anticipate coming on to reduce our need for.

1252
01:45:30,090 --> 01:45:31,230
or contract services.

1253
01:45:31,810 --> 01:45:33,690
So those two are our hopes.

1254
01:45:35,070 --> 01:45:35,690
Thank you.

1255
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:41,180
All right, any more questions?

1256
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:48,180
All right, is there anybody going next?

1257
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:49,300
Thank you.

1258
01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:51,660
Well, so thank you, Stephen.

1259
01:45:52,680 --> 01:45:55,720
So with that, the next segment is public worst department.

1260
01:45:55,880 --> 01:45:57,820
So now I will turn it over to our public worst director,

1261
01:45:58,100 --> 01:45:58,600
Jason Frog.

1262
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:00,400
Good evening again.

1263
01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:05,140
So I'll go through the public works budget goals

1264
01:46:05,140 --> 01:46:10,260
And this part of the presentation, we won't go over much on the CIP program.

1265
01:46:10,340 --> 01:46:19,560
I am going to touch on a few projects, but the CIP is going to be presented to the Council in June, like we typically do, alongside the final budget as its own program.

1266
01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:30,160
And so we'll focus more on just development engineering and public works maintenance and operations, but just as a quick overview.

1267
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:40,320
In terms of revenue sources, RCIP program primarily relies on measure A for staff costs,

1268
01:46:40,540 --> 01:46:43,320
consulting costs, to administer design projects.

1269
01:46:43,820 --> 01:46:50,020
We do try to reserve measure AA in RCIPs for construction only costs and not use that

1270
01:46:50,020 --> 01:46:53,660
for contractual costs with consultants or for staff.

1271
01:46:54,460 --> 01:47:00,140
And then we use other funds like Tumph and Diff in our grant sources for RCIPs for engineering

1272
01:47:01,820 --> 01:47:06,020
For development engineering, our revenues come from the general fund through our developer

1273
01:47:06,020 --> 01:47:10,520
fees, and then also through our encroachment permits for utilities.

1274
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:16,500
And then for just general public works for maintenance, we use gas tax.

1275
01:47:16,860 --> 01:47:19,140
We do use measure AA and measure AA.

1276
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:25,880
And then we use our solid waste franchise fees, our LLMD funds and our CFD funds.

1277
01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:30,460
And so our public works maintenance operations is funded through a variety of different fund sources.

1278
01:47:30,760 --> 01:47:31,320
Next slide, please.

1279
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:44,980
So just going over the city goals and the activities that we target in this upcoming budget cycle to meet those city goals under public works maintenance.

1280
01:47:45,420 --> 01:47:53,280
So as we've been discussing over the last year or so, we're transitioning away from contract maintenance services to in house maintenance services.

1281
01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:58,080
our goal is to be operational with in-house maintenance by the new fiscal year.

1282
01:47:59,660 --> 01:48:04,420
And so, our first goal, one of the city goals improved traffic safety.

1283
01:48:05,440 --> 01:48:10,200
We've been actively working on this throughout this last budget cycle, but

1284
01:48:10,200 --> 01:48:14,940
we will continue those efforts, we'll continue implementing our local road safety plan,

1285
01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:20,460
which was adopted a few years ago, and implementing those recommendations in the field,

1286
01:48:20,460 --> 01:48:25,840
be through maintenance or through projects. Earlier this year with the power outages we heard

1287
01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:30,980
concerns from the community and the council about battery backup systems on our traffic signals.

1288
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:37,800
And so we've included some funds in the budget to install some battery backup systems at least

1289
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:43,640
some of our signals. And we've also included some funds for yellow reflective back plates. If you're

1290
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:48,440
not familiar with those, you see them on the Caltrans off-ramps and on-ramps. They're the yellow border

1291
01:48:48,440 --> 01:48:53,100
around the signal head. So if there is a power outage and there is no battery back up,

1292
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:56,240
the signals are reflected in a little bit more visible at night.

1293
01:48:58,400 --> 01:48:59,580
Next goal was to enhance

1294
01:48:59,580 --> 01:49:03,140
pavement management program. And this kind of ties to the third goal, establish a public

1295
01:49:03,140 --> 01:49:09,720
right-of-way maintenance program. And so as part of this maintenance transition, our big goal is

1296
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:13,260
going to be to establish a public right-of-way maintenance program, which in and of itself

1297
01:49:13,260 --> 01:49:17,160
includes pavement management. And so this is everything within the right-of-way. This is pavement

1298
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:25,820
repair. This is weed abatement, this will include graffiti abatement. And so a variety of things

1299
01:49:25,820 --> 01:49:30,780
of maintenance in the right of way. We will look in this first year as we transition

1300
01:49:30,780 --> 01:49:36,720
the maintenance to establish these programs, establish a routine schedule for different

1301
01:49:36,720 --> 01:49:42,260
types of maintenance at the appropriate times of the year at different locations in the

1302
01:49:42,260 --> 01:49:49,340
city so that we can tackle these systematically, consistently, efficiently, and have a more routine schedule.

1303
01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:57,100
And so one of the things we'll look to do is also implement a new reporting tool so

1304
01:49:57,100 --> 01:49:59,800
that the public can more easily report complaints and services.

1305
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:07,840
And we can more consistently respond and track and report on those service requests. Next slide.

1306
01:50:10,820 --> 01:50:31,240
So under CIP, I want to highlight what projects are going to tie to the goals and, again, improve traffic safety. So for construction, we intend to construct the new traffic signal at Harvestway and Bundy Canyon. We'll also be upgrading a few of our

1307
01:50:31,240 --> 01:50:35,120
traffic signals to include protected left-turn phasing at orange and

1308
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:41,800
Bundy in advance, the limousone detection, a couple of the intersections.

1309
01:50:42,660 --> 01:50:45,960
And then, as we've discussed before, we're looking to complete the

1310
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:48,660
Voldemort Trail restriping for design.

1311
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:53,940
For traffic safety, we're going to be doing the design of the Psycho Boulevard

1312
01:50:53,940 --> 01:50:55,840
Improvement Project in this next budget cycle.

1313
01:50:57,420 --> 01:51:03,360
So to complete road winding projects that goal, our key projects there are the ones we've

1314
01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:07,020
been talking about over the last several years actually.

1315
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:13,940
Clinton Keith, Bundy Canyon, and Palomar, so Clinton Keith and Palomar, we anticipate

1316
01:51:13,940 --> 01:51:16,800
to be complete within this upcoming budget cycle.

1317
01:51:17,660 --> 01:51:22,700
Bundy Canyon, we would expect to start construction and then just because of the complexity and

1318
01:51:22,700 --> 01:51:26,680
and the type of construction that could take a little bit longer.

1319
01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:32,820
We had a goal, or the city had a goal to enhance the pavement management program, and so

1320
01:51:32,820 --> 01:51:37,620
a few months ago we approved the contract for a new pavement management program.

1321
01:51:38,340 --> 01:51:42,340
Report, we will be bringing that forward in the next few months for adoption.

1322
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:49,040
Just as a side note, our consultant doing that report is going to be driving the city streets

1323
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:54,560
in the next, actually, this coming month to do that field verification and inspection.

1324
01:51:54,860 --> 01:52:00,440
So residents may see a truck or vehicle with LiDAR scanners and different equipment.

1325
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:04,640
Most likely it's going to be our consultant who's doing that.

1326
01:52:06,500 --> 01:52:08,860
And then we have a goal to increase park facilities.

1327
01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:13,900
And so as we've been discussing, our goal is to get the 27 acre park under construction and

1328
01:52:13,900 --> 01:52:19,180
open, and then to get the 20 acre park open for the public to start enjoying.

1329
01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:26,560
Next slide. For development engineering, our big goal here falls in line with the general

1330
01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:32,180
plan implementation, so now that we have our own general plan, the city really needs to

1331
01:52:32,180 --> 01:52:37,120
adopt its own standards and guidelines, engineering guidelines and standards. Since incorporation,

1332
01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:41,600
we've been using the county standards and guidelines and they've served the city well, but

1333
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:49,400
They're no longer consistent with what our new general plan has so we have new cross sections on all of our roadways and the county standards don't match that

1334
01:52:50,580 --> 01:52:58,720
We have a lot of new issues coming up in terms of residents want a second driveway and the county standard doesn't really give guidelines on

1335
01:52:58,720 --> 01:53:01,380
Where can I place a second driveway and where isn't not

1336
01:53:02,200 --> 01:53:02,680
appropriate?

1337
01:53:03,420 --> 01:53:06,080
And so we've been dealing with a lot of these things as they come

1338
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:08,720
but it's

1339
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:38,560
The appropriate time for the city to now finally adopt city specific engineering standards now that we've adopted our city specific general plan and so that that's our primary goal and the development and development engineering division and that would be standards guidelines, a manual that our staff can can rely on and follow in that are the development community can also use next slide just a quick overview of the structure of the department as we mentioned.

1340
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:45,260
for its three primary divisions, the same department though, the CIP, which is city projects

1341
01:53:45,260 --> 01:53:52,240
and design and construction and grant administration development engineering, which oversees all

1342
01:53:52,240 --> 01:53:57,080
the review for private land development, the permitting, the construction inspection for

1343
01:53:57,080 --> 01:54:04,220
land development, and utility permits, and then maintenance and operations, and that part

1344
01:54:04,220 --> 01:54:07,440
of the department handles other things beyond maintenance.

1345
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:12,500
We also oversee our stormwater compliance program to make sure that the city's complying

1346
01:54:12,500 --> 01:54:17,800
with state requirements will also oversee the franchise agreement with CRNR, make sure

1347
01:54:17,800 --> 01:54:23,380
we're complying with state requirements on a solid waste as well, and then our just day-to-day

1348
01:54:23,380 --> 01:54:24,800
traffic operations next slide.

1349
01:54:26,200 --> 01:54:29,400
So this is our organizational chart.

1350
01:54:30,940 --> 01:54:38,060
We do show a few, so one thing to note, the blue positions are budgeted, but they're

1351
01:54:38,060 --> 01:54:42,580
not necessarily all filled, so we do have a few vacant positions, our senior engineer

1352
01:54:42,580 --> 01:54:46,400
positions are vacant, so we've been relying on contract support there.

1353
01:54:47,500 --> 01:54:51,100
Our maintenance worker positions are in the process of being filled right now, we've been

1354
01:54:51,100 --> 01:54:56,820
going through that hiring process, and we are looking to add at least one associate

1355
01:54:56,820 --> 01:54:59,540
engineer in the CIP division.

1356
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:29,440
And a management analyst for the department primarily because as we transition the city maintenance services, there's a lot of additional administrative work there, purchase orders, contracts with subcontractors ordering material, ensuring safety paperwork and just general paperwork for our maintenance crews are on file. And so that by itself is almost its own job. And so we've budgeted for an additional management analyst to assist with our maintenance division.

1357
01:55:29,440 --> 01:55:30,400
next slide.

1358
01:55:33,500 --> 01:55:39,260
This is actually kind of small but I'll touch on this briefly. Just highlights on

1359
01:55:39,260 --> 01:55:43,580
some of the major changes we've made and some of the changes we've made in the different parts of

1360
01:55:43,580 --> 01:55:50,780
the budget. The general fund we've adjusted those budgets to account for some of the positions we've

1361
01:55:50,780 --> 01:55:56,570
been describing and we've adjusted just for administrative costs for furniture and desks and

1362
01:55:56,570 --> 01:55:57,590
for the new staff.

1363
01:55:58,590 --> 01:56:04,790
Measureed AA, we've tried to preserve those funds for infield construction costs, so hard costs,

1364
01:56:05,170 --> 01:56:08,850
and tried not to rely on that for salaries.

1365
01:56:10,210 --> 01:56:13,810
And we've budgeted for some public works maintenance costs there,

1366
01:56:14,490 --> 01:56:20,290
and one time costs for a new maintenance vehicle, new dump truck that will need.

1367
01:56:21,250 --> 01:56:26,170
Gas tax, we've restructured that to cover ongoing routine maintenance costs to cover salaries

1368
01:56:26,170 --> 01:56:31,230
for all maintenance personnel and then to cover things like our maintenance software,

1369
01:56:31,430 --> 01:56:35,750
our work order system, our service request system, annually recurring costs that we know

1370
01:56:35,750 --> 01:56:39,630
that we will need to be able to support long-term. And so we've moved those into gas tax.

1371
01:56:40,390 --> 01:56:45,650
And then measure A, we've restructured a little bit to cover our traffic maintenance and operations

1372
01:56:45,650 --> 01:56:51,290
expenditures and then budgeted funds for some of the special projects like the signal battery back

1373
01:56:51,290 --> 01:56:56,990
of systems or specific, you know, one-time type projects.

1374
01:56:57,810 --> 01:56:58,270
Next slide.

1375
01:57:00,470 --> 01:57:03,050
I'll go through this just quickly, again, just to highlight.

1376
01:57:03,610 --> 01:57:08,090
Like I said, we'll bring back the CIP in June, but just wanted to highlight some of our

1377
01:57:08,690 --> 01:57:09,330
program priorities.

1378
01:57:09,510 --> 01:57:11,430
So I talked about some of the projects with the goals.

1379
01:57:12,030 --> 01:57:19,810
There are some additional projects that we'll also be working on, but these will be our

1380
01:57:19,810 --> 01:57:25,170
focus for the next two years, it will take a lot of effort to deliver on all of this and

1381
01:57:25,170 --> 01:57:32,050
so this is kind of what you can expect as the primary focus of the upcoming budget for the

1382
01:57:32,050 --> 01:57:38,230
CIP. Next slide. And I'm happy to answer any questions before I give it back to Adam.

1383
01:57:40,250 --> 01:57:41,030
Thank you, Jason.

1384
01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:44,640
I have just a couple of quick questions.

1385
01:57:47,940 --> 01:57:48,540
So I've

1386
01:57:48,540 --> 01:57:49,340
That's like my favorite song.

1387
01:57:50,500 --> 01:57:54,620
I'm glad to hear that we have a lot planned because that's

1388
01:57:55,180 --> 01:57:58,200
night and day difference compared to 10 or 20 years ago,

1389
01:57:58,420 --> 01:57:59,840
and we loved the direction we're going.

1390
01:58:00,980 --> 01:58:03,600
So then just two really basic questions.

1391
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:06,260
So you mentioned Orange and Bundy, the protected turn,

1392
01:58:06,380 --> 01:58:07,800
which I guess is the turn signal.

1393
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:10,700
So the person who was here, the last meeting,

1394
01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:11,900
and he's like, oh, that's awesome.

1395
01:58:12,060 --> 01:58:12,600
That's what I was talking about.

1396
01:58:13,300 --> 01:58:14,320
I haven't noticed it.

1397
01:58:14,340 --> 01:58:16,280
I don't use that area as often.

1398
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:25,120
But like did he say like that something had been changed like I don't know why so when is when he's into he's wondering when that might be coming in

1399
01:58:26,460 --> 01:58:30,880
So we're we're waiting to get a final approval from Cal Transit to

1400
01:58:31,540 --> 01:58:36,540
Okay, update the project and then get it out to bid so they have to author right they've they've granted us the funds

1401
01:58:36,540 --> 01:58:43,840
But then they have to authorize us to to advertise the project. So we're waiting for that my expectation would be by the end of this year

1402
01:58:43,840 --> 01:58:47,680
we would have that done. Yeah and then the second one is you mentioned second

1403
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:53,560
driveways so give me I've got two questions the big wide open questions first so what's

1404
01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:59,660
the problems with them and then well how do you get one if you can get one? So second

1405
01:58:59,660 --> 01:59:06,140
driveways first if someone wants a second driveway they should come in and speak with the

1406
01:59:06,140 --> 01:59:11,740
city and then speak with staff first ultimately it requires an encroachment permit because

1407
01:59:11,740 --> 01:59:13,800
because you're doing work in the city right of way.

1408
01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:19,480
The considerations that we have to look at when it comes to a second driveway, and

1409
01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:26,260
again, we don't have a city specific standard for this, but we do look at it individually

1410
01:59:27,520 --> 01:59:31,980
as can that property safely support a second driveway.

1411
01:59:32,300 --> 01:59:37,580
Is it, there are some minimum standards, it has to be a minimum distance away from the nearest intersection.

1412
01:59:38,220 --> 01:59:41,380
It can't be too close to this other driveway on the property.

1413
01:59:41,380 --> 01:59:43,080
It can't be too close to the property line.

1414
01:59:44,860 --> 01:59:51,380
So there are those considerations, but some of having more consistent guidelines would

1415
01:59:51,380 --> 01:59:56,840
help because otherwise you could end up with a second driveline every property and you

1416
01:59:56,840 --> 01:59:59,860
would lose all your street parking pedestrian.

1417
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:29,360
There are restrictions across the sidewalk would have constant interruptions which are, you know, things we don't want to have. But for now, if a resident is interested in a second driveway, I would encourage them to come talk to our public works team. And then we can advise them if it's something we can support, if there's a concern, safety issue. And then we can direct them from there. So that just gives me a couple more comments. One is that part of the reason why, because the average person might go, well, come on, it's my house. I want access to my side yard or whatever.

1418
02:00:29,360 --> 02:00:34,960
but depending on the configuration of the area, the sidewalk, you're reducing parking spaces.

1419
02:00:35,500 --> 02:00:38,940
So that could be a real issue for certain, especially if there's a cul-de-sac or something

1420
02:00:38,940 --> 02:00:43,060
so I could see how that'd be an issue. So then I guess the last one would be because I know we're

1421
02:00:43,060 --> 02:00:51,040
not out there with drones looking for these bootleg driveways, but if there is one that somebody just

1422
02:00:51,040 --> 02:00:55,920
created on their own and it's causing a problem in the neighborhood and the neighbor reports it in.

1423
02:00:55,920 --> 02:00:58,700
And so what's likely to happen to somebody who just put one in on their own?

1424
02:01:00,260 --> 02:01:04,340
So, it would go through our co-enforcement team and we'd work with code enforcement.

1425
02:01:04,960 --> 02:01:08,100
And we would have to look at those on an individual basis.

1426
02:01:09,320 --> 02:01:12,420
There could be a number of concerns if it wasn't built to a city standard.

1427
02:01:12,900 --> 02:01:17,300
The sidewalks not designed to carry vehicle loads, a driveway is designed differently.

1428
02:01:18,020 --> 02:01:19,220
So that would be an issue.

1429
02:01:19,360 --> 02:01:22,960
So understanding how it was constructed, but it may not even be in a safe location.

1430
02:01:22,960 --> 02:01:29,600
And other issues are, if it's on an arterial, there's a lot of traffic, so we don't want

1431
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:33,260
to encourage more access points, because then that slows down traffic or creates safety

1432
02:01:33,260 --> 02:01:33,640
issues.

1433
02:01:34,140 --> 02:01:35,500
There could be visibility issues.

1434
02:01:35,760 --> 02:01:41,460
So if there is an existing, unpermitted driveway, we deal with those on a case-by-case

1435
02:01:41,460 --> 02:01:42,060
basis right now.

1436
02:01:42,580 --> 02:01:42,960
Thank you.

1437
02:01:44,870 --> 02:01:48,490
I've had two of those requests in my district.

1438
02:01:50,270 --> 02:01:54,190
And I went out there, they both seem like it would be okay, but that's up to you.

1439
02:01:54,790 --> 02:02:02,270
So I just wanted to say it's exciting that we're going to bring the maintenance and house and that we're doing this for guys coming in.

1440
02:02:02,830 --> 02:02:06,010
This would be the time now to make our own standards for that too.

1441
02:02:06,430 --> 02:02:08,070
We talked about earlier about the other standards.

1442
02:02:09,450 --> 02:02:15,810
So I know it's like an initially it might be more paint but if you have graffiti on a wall painting that whole wall one color.

1443
02:02:16,450 --> 02:02:20,310
And then in the future it's less paint because you would now know the color.

1444
02:02:20,310 --> 02:02:26,430
you would keep chalk over each color and then when you go to repeat it, it's going to match fine, so we'll have no more of this much

1445
02:02:26,430 --> 02:02:30,290
loss. So there's no other time than right now to establish those standards.

1446
02:02:31,830 --> 02:02:40,550
No, I appreciate that and we'll be working on that, especially in this first year to establish those protocols, the procedures and so I'll make a note of that.

1447
02:02:40,730 --> 02:02:41,350
Okay, thank you.

1448
02:02:46,890 --> 02:02:50,850
Thanks again for that presentation Jason. I have a couple comments.

1449
02:02:51,770 --> 02:02:57,930
So first I just want to say that I'm really excited that we're expanding the maintenance team.

1450
02:02:59,230 --> 02:03:06,550
You know what I also want to just give a formal thank you to Brad and Stephen for all the work that they have all the services that they've provided to the city.

1451
02:03:08,210 --> 02:03:11,670
I also want to highlight a couple of the goals that you mentioned that I'm really excited about.

1452
02:03:11,970 --> 02:03:18,950
So you know, one of the top resident concerns that we hear are roads and pavement management.

1453
02:03:18,950 --> 02:03:26,630
So I'm really happy to see the enhancing the pavement management program as a priority as well as establishing the goals.

1454
02:03:27,090 --> 02:03:33,510
I mean, establishing the public right away maintenance program to go along with that.

1455
02:03:34,890 --> 02:03:41,010
One of the things that I did want to ask about had a previous meeting we had talked about and

1456
02:03:41,010 --> 02:03:55,290
I had also been a resident concern that was brought for Wendy Canyon, I think phase two, and council member Nick had expressed a desire to determine if and where the light would be

1457
02:03:57,470 --> 02:04:01,270
tempted to consider on the road, on the road for traffic safety.

1458
02:04:01,550 --> 02:04:04,910
I didn't see that on here, so I just wanted to ask about that.

1459
02:04:04,910 --> 02:04:09,030
Yeah, so that's a good question.

1460
02:04:09,470 --> 02:04:15,550
So phase two will include a new traffic signal at Oak Circle and Bundy Canyon by the Christian

1461
02:04:15,550 --> 02:04:15,910
School.

1462
02:04:16,490 --> 02:04:20,070
So that signal will have safety lighting on it.

1463
02:04:20,710 --> 02:04:28,750
But the other thing to note, so typically street lighting, minimum standards would be at intersections

1464
02:04:28,750 --> 02:04:33,950
or areas where there's curves, horizontal, vertical curves.

1465
02:04:35,070 --> 02:04:39,110
So when we realign the road, we're going to be smoothing out the curves, and

1466
02:04:39,110 --> 02:04:41,690
everything will be high reflectivity striping.

1467
02:04:42,470 --> 02:04:48,010
So what currently may be perceived as a need for street lighting, when this gets redesigned and

1468
02:04:48,010 --> 02:04:53,030
rebuilt, that concern, I would anticipate, would not be an issue anymore,

1469
02:04:53,030 --> 02:04:55,190
plus we'll have the safety lighting at the traffic signal.

1470
02:04:55,190 --> 02:04:55,490
Thank you very much.

1471
02:05:18,230 --> 02:05:31,730
When we're going to re-line everything, so I agree with the answer. I think we'll probably have to follow back, circle back with it. After we get everything kind of, you know, done with buddy Canyon, and then we worked at the angle again, I think.

1472
02:05:33,830 --> 02:05:44,890
Yeah, and I think that is an appropriate approach, is once the road's operational and we have all the new striping and the lanes and all of that, then we can come back.

1473
02:05:44,930 --> 02:05:45,090
And the question?

1474
02:05:45,550 --> 02:05:48,450
Yeah, no, so I do think that's a reasonable approach.

1475
02:05:49,070 --> 02:05:53,990
So I guess I just want to reiterate, so one of the things that Jason just mentioned was the road read alignment, right?

1476
02:05:54,190 --> 02:05:58,330
So hopefully that will mitigate, if not, then we'll bring back.

1477
02:05:59,330 --> 02:05:59,870
Thank you.

1478
02:05:59,870 --> 02:06:00,670
All

1479
02:06:04,190 --> 02:06:05,210
right. Back to you, Adam.

1480
02:06:06,090 --> 02:06:11,550
Yes. So just the final slide is just a expanded version of the five year forecast.

1481
02:06:11,930 --> 02:06:16,410
So as you can see, our current forecast covers the current budgets.

1482
02:06:16,410 --> 02:06:20,650
We'll still maintaining our reserves, barring any unforeseen events.

1483
02:06:20,950 --> 02:06:25,110
And there's still a cushion in the case that development is a bit slower than anticipated.

1484
02:06:25,670 --> 02:06:29,670
And one caveat is that public safety as mentioned, we're still working on those budgets

1485
02:06:29,670 --> 02:06:31,870
and those will be. So those are still tentative.

1486
02:06:31,870 --> 02:06:37,750
I mean, we do have the rate increase for public safety, for police in there, but we're still vetting the fire budgets.

1487
02:06:38,290 --> 02:06:42,770
And we'll still review the police more, and that will present it in more detail at the next workshop.

1488
02:06:43,710 --> 02:06:48,190
And that concludes my presentation, and I'm open to any additional questions.

1489
02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:55,760
Public comments?

1490
02:06:56,360 --> 02:06:57,340
Yes, Don Saunders.

1491
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:04,860
Thank you, Adam.

1492
02:07:07,860 --> 02:07:11,960
The traffic safety public work plan looks perfect.

1493
02:07:12,420 --> 02:07:23,140
but there is one thing on the signage or backup. The signal backplates, that's great, fantastic, the battery backup, that's perfect too.

1494
02:07:23,840 --> 02:07:31,080
But on the backplates, we need to see those right after the first of the fiscal year and we need them at every signal.

1495
02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:35,180
So if you can budget that in for every signal, that would be great.

1496
02:07:35,180 --> 02:07:40,800
A reason being is we don't know when the blackouts are going to happen. It could happen this summer for all we know.

1497
02:07:41,620 --> 02:07:46,640
And so we need them right away. If we can do battery backup at all the signals that would be great.

1498
02:07:47,240 --> 02:07:56,680
But if we can get the priority as far as the main locations that would be great as well, or major traffic look intersections.

1499
02:07:57,640 --> 02:08:02,580
There is another study on road design safety.

1500
02:08:02,580 --> 02:08:10,900
one of them is one of the streets I'm thinking of is Gruel and Grand. We added the

1501
02:08:10,900 --> 02:08:16,700
stop sign there. I think eventually a signal would be warranted there but one

1502
02:08:16,700 --> 02:08:23,320
of the things on that study the city has the study is the first one it's the

1503
02:08:23,320 --> 02:08:28,000
lowest cost is a overhead street light to light that intersection.

1504
02:08:31,920 --> 02:08:32,560
So I might

1505
02:08:32,560 --> 02:08:40,400
right turn yellow or right turn arrow at hidden springs and Clinton Keith. When

1506
02:08:40,400 --> 02:08:44,280
you come out of say Taco Bell out of the center there you have to sit there

1507
02:08:44,280 --> 02:08:49,460
and wait for a no turn on red that backs up and you look you can see the cars

1508
02:08:49,460 --> 02:08:55,480
coming around the corner from Clinton Keith on to hidden springs so it'd be a

1509
02:08:55,480 --> 02:08:59,960
clear shot to go right if there was a arrow there so that'd be something to take a

1510
02:08:59,960 --> 02:09:05,660
look at budgeting in. A couple other budget things real quick. The things are looking

1511
02:09:05,660 --> 02:09:12,080
great around town with the new signal signage, street name signage, perfect. We've got

1512
02:09:12,080 --> 02:09:19,560
the city entryway signs coming, perfect. The signs that we have, the street name, blade

1513
02:09:19,560 --> 02:09:25,800
signs, perfect. We've got those started, but the job hasn't been finished. We need to

1514
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:29,300
get with the maintenance crews right now. I talked to the guys that are out there. They

1515
02:09:29,300 --> 02:09:33,940
you got some more to finish. Oh, we need to get whatever we can used up on our budget

1516
02:09:33,940 --> 02:09:38,300
this year and get those signs in place. And then next year budget and get the rest

1517
02:09:38,300 --> 02:09:42,860
of those signs done. It's really a public safety thing. Those green signs are faded.

1518
02:09:43,060 --> 02:09:48,820
You can't read half of them. The new ones are excellent. They're reflective. The fire department

1519
02:09:48,820 --> 02:09:53,800
police can see them very easily. So if you can get that wrapped up, you can direct staff

1520
02:09:53,800 --> 02:09:58,780
to do that. That would be great. And the last one is the Grand Avenue Ropes. That's been

1521
02:09:58,780 --> 02:09:59,800
and I'm going maintenance.

1522
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:07,280
This issue for years, as ropes get heavy, we've looked at nylon ropes, I believe, as a potential

1523
02:10:07,280 --> 02:10:13,840
option in having the ropes locked in place. The maintenance guys tell me that it's a consistent

1524
02:10:13,840 --> 02:10:18,880
maintenance issue. Let's get those ropes budgeted in for this year, this next fiscal year,

1525
02:10:19,020 --> 02:10:26,440
get those fixed. It'll alleviate wasting time with budgeting, and also it'll help with reducing

1526
02:10:26,440 --> 02:10:33,820
the posts from the ropes currently get so heavy that it sags on the posts and then they're

1527
02:10:33,820 --> 02:10:39,380
having to replace the posts too. So that's another way it's really in the end I think it's

1528
02:10:39,380 --> 02:10:44,360
going to be a cost-saving measure to put in nylon ropes, have them locked in place and we don't

1529
02:10:44,360 --> 02:10:48,840
have to replace the ropes or the posts or maintain them. Thank you very much.

1530
02:10:50,340 --> 02:10:50,960
Thank you, Don.

1531
02:10:52,400 --> 02:10:59,380
So do you have anything for one thing to point out?

1532
02:10:59,560 --> 02:11:03,200
So is there a percentage of the signals identified to have the back plates?

1533
02:11:03,900 --> 02:11:06,980
So right now, we've budgeted for all of them.

1534
02:11:07,360 --> 02:11:11,500
We don't have actual quotes, so just depending on how the pricing comes in, but that's our

1535
02:11:11,500 --> 02:11:12,700
plan right now is to do all of them.

1536
02:11:13,320 --> 02:11:18,680
And there may be some that come in later because some are part of a CIP project, and we'll

1537
02:11:18,680 --> 02:11:22,000
get covered there, but that our budget goal was to try to get all of them.

1538
02:11:23,420 --> 02:11:24,280
Okay, thank you.

1539
02:11:25,220 --> 02:11:28,160
What about any of the other items that are a lot of items you listed?

1540
02:11:28,480 --> 02:11:33,580
So we did budget funds to start changing out the rope on grand avenue.

1541
02:11:34,400 --> 02:11:37,500
We won't necessarily be able to do it all at once because there's a lot of rope, and

1542
02:11:37,500 --> 02:11:40,560
not all of it is, I mean some of it is still functional.

1543
02:11:41,120 --> 02:11:46,680
So we did include funds I think off of the top of my head it's in the fiscal year 2627 part

1544
02:11:46,680 --> 02:11:47,060
of the budget.

1545
02:11:47,060 --> 02:11:51,020
But we did have funds added in there to start that replacement.

1546
02:11:53,600 --> 02:11:58,980
We haven't done any preliminary work for a right turn at Hidden Springs.

1547
02:11:59,700 --> 02:12:01,340
I do think it's a good suggestion.

1548
02:12:03,020 --> 02:12:07,800
The developer on the northwest corner of Clint Keith Marketplace, they're going to be modifying

1549
02:12:07,800 --> 02:12:10,040
the traffic signal at that intersection.

1550
02:12:10,760 --> 02:12:16,080
And I think we've already in our comments made a note about that right turn pocket.

1551
02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:22,760
Okay, so our goal would be to try to get that done with that signal modification as opposed to doing work twice at the intersection.

1552
02:12:25,240 --> 02:12:27,820
I just, there's something on that one, I'm not sure.

1553
02:12:28,300 --> 02:12:36,060
Is there a U-turn that's allowed if you're heading west on Clinton Keith, because if you are allowed to do a U-turn there,

1554
02:12:36,220 --> 02:12:40,500
then you can see why you can't have so many turning right there during that time either.

1555
02:12:40,680 --> 02:12:43,180
So I don't know, I don't remember because I don't do a U-turn there.

1556
02:12:43,180 --> 02:12:48,560
But yeah, I don't recall off the top of my head if it is allowed and we do a right turn

1557
02:12:49,880 --> 02:12:52,040
Overlapped and we would have to restrict the U-turn

1558
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:54,640
But I don't know off top of my head

1559
02:12:56,460 --> 02:12:58,520
Cuz we just widened out that it would be able to

1560
02:12:59,740 --> 02:13:01,000
Have it in there, but

1561
02:13:01,820 --> 02:13:05,040
I thought it was always a site issue why we couldn't turn right there

1562
02:13:05,760 --> 02:13:10,060
The yes, yeah, so the right-turn restriction is because of the visibility over the intersection

1563
02:13:11,100 --> 02:13:12,100
But if they're

1564
02:13:13,200 --> 02:13:21,560
You could potentially accommodate a free right with a green while there's a left-turn phase because there isn't any conflict

1565
02:13:21,560 --> 02:13:28,200
If there isn't if there isn't a you turn it does I'm looking it says no you turn so I guess that blows that arch

1566
02:13:28,200 --> 02:13:36,630
And then I appreciate the comment about grand and grew well and the light

1567
02:13:36,630 --> 02:13:41,830
So we'll take a look at our local road safety plan and the recommendations there and we'll take a look at that as well

1568
02:13:43,470 --> 02:13:47,670
but isn't a light how expensive is that because our brothers just have a light but I want a light

1569
02:13:47,670 --> 02:13:57,670
sheet light that too. So an individual street light comes with an electrical meter expense and

1570
02:13:57,670 --> 02:14:04,050
all of those things or tying into an existing system. There is an option to add lights onto utility

1571
02:14:04,050 --> 02:14:08,630
poles so there is an ongoing expenditure anytime we add a light we're going to get built for the

1572
02:14:08,630 --> 02:14:15,810
the electrical usage, but those would be our two options as a standalone poll or on a utility poll.

1573
02:14:16,150 --> 02:14:23,110
I think that was everything, but if I've missed anything, let me know.

1574
02:14:24,590 --> 02:14:25,430
Thank you so much.

1575
02:14:25,630 --> 02:14:26,710
Are there any more public comments?

1576
02:14:27,810 --> 02:14:29,070
No additional public comments.

1577
02:14:29,370 --> 02:14:29,530
Okay.

1578
02:14:30,790 --> 02:14:32,330
All right, thank you, anything else?

1579
02:14:33,050 --> 02:14:34,250
All right, thank you so much, Adam.

1580
02:14:34,250 --> 02:14:34,990
Mayor,

1581
02:14:40,160 --> 02:14:44,580
I think staff would like to go back to 3.1 if that's okay with Council.

1582
02:14:45,040 --> 02:14:48,200
Yes, I'm going to go back to 3.1.

1583
02:14:51,840 --> 02:14:55,440
Would you please confirm that your vote was for all five items?

1584
02:14:55,460 --> 02:14:59,320
I heard you read the resolutions, but there's five recommendations on there.

1585
02:14:59,320 --> 02:14:59,960
Two, three, four.

1586
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:03,720
4 and 5. That was my intent. Yes.

1587
02:15:13,790 --> 02:15:17,410
Come up and fill it out after. Thank you.

1588
02:15:21,060 --> 02:15:28,780
3.1 for the current budget. We've got to mention about the street name signs, the sign blades at each intersection.

1589
02:15:29,660 --> 02:15:38,280
Those need to be finished up. I tried to ask a question to one of the staff while back about, you know, how much do we have in the budget for the signs right now?

1590
02:15:38,280 --> 02:15:44,380
they couldn't answer and I needed to do more research, I guess, but if we can get those,

1591
02:15:45,420 --> 02:15:51,780
I believe there's some funds right now budgeted for an ongoing replacement of those signs,

1592
02:15:51,920 --> 02:15:59,700
so many each year. This has gone on for probably three, four, five years now and I don't think the

1593
02:16:00,200 --> 02:16:06,480
current maintenance team is actually finishing up, you know, putting in what they're budgeted to do.

1594
02:16:08,300 --> 02:16:11,500
So, back to 3.1 is the current budget.

1595
02:16:12,080 --> 02:16:16,020
Let's get used up, go out and tell the maintenance team,

1596
02:16:16,200 --> 02:16:18,380
let's finish up what we can to this year,

1597
02:16:18,520 --> 02:16:21,080
because they did, when I told them that there's, hey,

1598
02:16:21,340 --> 02:16:23,800
over on this straight here, there's several green signs.

1599
02:16:24,040 --> 02:16:24,880
And they said, oh, really?

1600
02:16:25,160 --> 02:16:27,120
We haven't gotten that early yet.

1601
02:16:27,200 --> 02:16:28,360
I said, how do you track it?

1602
02:16:29,340 --> 02:16:33,340
They said, oh, we just write down and try to figure out,

1603
02:16:33,500 --> 02:16:35,340
you know, which ones we haven't hit yet.

1604
02:16:35,340 --> 02:16:43,260
So there is no plan of action of where they should be placing the signs or need to upgrade.

1605
02:16:44,200 --> 02:16:46,820
So if we can get that done now, that would be great.

1606
02:16:47,360 --> 02:16:56,720
And then again, if you can go back to 3.10, look at budgeting in the balance for the next fiscal year, that would be great.

1607
02:16:56,800 --> 02:16:58,380
I think we need to wrap it up this year.

1608
02:16:58,480 --> 02:17:02,540
We've got probably 60-70% of the city done.

1609
02:17:02,540 --> 02:17:07,900
I think there should be enough in both this year and then next year to finish it up.

1610
02:17:08,380 --> 02:17:08,660
Thanks.

1611
02:17:08,900 --> 02:17:09,580
Thank you.

1612
02:17:09,820 --> 02:17:11,620
Do we still have budget for the blade times?

1613
02:17:12,160 --> 02:17:16,660
So in this fiscal year, I don't know off the top of my head, our maintenance contractor

1614
02:17:16,660 --> 02:17:23,180
does currently manage that install program and we do allocate funds each year for that.

1615
02:17:24,040 --> 02:17:29,920
But we also have a lot of other traffic signage needs that from a safety perspective do take

1616
02:17:29,920 --> 02:17:30,340
priority.

1617
02:17:30,340 --> 02:17:34,260
We have a lot of other regulatory signs that may be faded that need to be replaced.

1618
02:17:34,940 --> 02:17:37,380
So we've been working through that effort as well.

1619
02:17:37,860 --> 02:17:49,640
But on page 85 of the budget under item 3.2, we did budget for this coming fiscal year under measure AA.

1620
02:17:50,320 --> 02:17:56,140
Both actually both fiscal year line item for traffic and street name sign annual program.

1621
02:17:56,140 --> 02:18:02,120
So it is in our budget, but we are trying to balance that with all the other reflective

1622
02:18:02,120 --> 02:18:04,640
signs that we need to kind of bring back up to standard.

1623
02:18:06,610 --> 02:18:07,250
Thank you.

1624
02:18:08,510 --> 02:18:08,650
All right.

1625
02:18:09,210 --> 02:18:11,590
So we're in 3.2.

1626
02:18:14,240 --> 02:18:14,860
All right.

1627
02:18:15,640 --> 02:18:16,040
All right.

1628
02:18:16,040 --> 02:18:16,400
We're doing with that.

1629
02:18:16,580 --> 02:18:16,740
Okay.

1630
02:18:19,540 --> 02:18:19,920
All right.

1631
02:18:21,320 --> 02:18:22,120
All right.

1632
02:18:22,240 --> 02:18:22,840
Council Communications.

1633
02:18:25,310 --> 02:18:25,710
Joseph?

1634
02:18:26,410 --> 02:18:26,570
All right.

1635
02:18:26,910 --> 02:18:28,170
Let's see if we can make it quick.

1636
02:18:28,170 --> 02:18:34,410
So I went to the Earth Day event with the, it was very good, had the resource fair tied in.

1637
02:18:35,890 --> 02:18:41,150
I'd love to see that come back again next year, similar to how it is, just work out whatever.

1638
02:18:41,770 --> 02:18:46,110
There's always things you can learn to do next year, whichever way and look forward to that.

1639
02:18:47,930 --> 02:18:53,690
So last week was in Los Angeles for the SCAG meeting, that's Southern California Association of Governments.

1640
02:18:54,170 --> 02:18:59,910
The one bit that I'll bring back, because there was no earth shattering, you know, policy

1641
02:18:59,910 --> 02:19:06,330
suggestions or anything, but we had a presentation that dealt with home hardening and defensible

1642
02:19:06,330 --> 02:19:09,790
space, which sounds good, especially if you're building brand new development.

1643
02:19:10,070 --> 02:19:10,510
That makes sense.

1644
02:19:11,990 --> 02:19:18,910
But there's a city councilwoman from, I think it's Los Alamedos, she was there, and she said,

1645
02:19:18,930 --> 02:19:22,910
hey, you know, now, for the rest of us who live in the real world, they don't live in

1646
02:19:22,910 --> 02:19:27,330
these pretty diagrammed homes where you could push hardening back and all that.

1647
02:19:28,110 --> 02:19:33,590
And so I then put my hand up to talk and it's like, yeah, you know, our humble city of

1648
02:19:33,590 --> 02:19:39,150
Woldemar, I can think of many areas, especially the older ones that have old growth trees and

1649
02:19:39,150 --> 02:19:39,430
whatnot.

1650
02:19:39,630 --> 02:19:42,270
And it's as if they just take that tree down.

1651
02:19:42,410 --> 02:19:50,370
Now even if you could deal without having your smaller, older home not shaded, how much

1652
02:19:50,370 --> 02:19:54,890
It's just a cost of, you know, we're talking about a tree that if there's three council members got together, we might get our hands around.

1653
02:19:55,070 --> 02:19:59,670
It's that big. It's got to be thousands of dollars for one tree and it's probably on a property line.

1654
02:20:00,340 --> 02:20:15,140
The neighbors aren't going to be glad you took it anyway. The point was that I suggested that, you know, it's it's nice to talk about these grand schemes, but they don't really work. There's another one of these unfunded mandates from the state, so anyway.

1655
02:20:30,340 --> 02:20:32,760
about specialized transportation programs.

1656
02:20:33,140 --> 02:20:38,080
So I'm almost looking at the Daniel Torres over there, that you might, I wrote her name

1657
02:20:38,080 --> 02:20:38,320
down.

1658
02:20:38,560 --> 02:20:43,540
You may already know her, Mariana Mitchell, and she's their community services manager.

1659
02:20:43,920 --> 02:20:49,420
And they have a car, a caravan caravan, isn't it, caravan transit.

1660
02:20:50,040 --> 02:20:57,340
They have go-go grandparents, and mobility management outreach, and they get, it says their

1661
02:20:57,340 --> 02:21:01,120
Their city's portion of the program, including go-go grant parent services and outreach,

1662
02:21:01,900 --> 02:21:06,120
is funded by $150,000 to measure a grant over three years.

1663
02:21:09,580 --> 02:21:15,600
And so, anyway, not that you don't have a ton to do all regularly, but if you can reach

1664
02:21:15,600 --> 02:21:23,040
out to see how they fund this, if it's something that we can do for our older residents, because

1665
02:21:23,040 --> 02:21:28,620
because you don't have to have a Sun City to have old residents, who it was very interesting schemes.

1666
02:21:29,560 --> 02:21:35,440
If that's something you're able to track down maybe in the future, we can see if it applies to our city.

1667
02:21:37,140 --> 02:21:44,200
With WRCOG, I had meetings this week, so since this is one of those weeks where the second Wednesday was the same week as the first Monday,

1668
02:21:44,200 --> 02:21:47,640
They isn't like the super busy meeting week.

1669
02:21:49,360 --> 02:21:59,760
So they had their draft budget report, and the rise in revenues is primarily driven by

1670
02:22:00,380 --> 02:22:07,180
funding from REAP 2.0, and again, that's a complicated thing with the new administration

1671
02:22:07,180 --> 02:22:07,800
in Washington.

1672
02:22:08,500 --> 02:22:11,060
Nobody knows how, or deficits in California.

1673
02:22:11,060 --> 02:22:15,400
things that people thought there was money for, may not have money for after all.

1674
02:22:19,270 --> 02:22:23,050
Then there's, oh, there's this issue with the VMT mitigation program,

1675
02:22:25,270 --> 02:22:27,490
implementation that's administered through WRCog.

1676
02:22:27,550 --> 02:22:31,070
Now, they mentioned it, like I think it's tomorrow, do you have a meeting with them?

1677
02:22:31,150 --> 02:22:36,430
They mentioned they're going to roll out this presentation to public works

1678
02:22:36,430 --> 02:22:40,410
and then later to city managers because otherwise, I'm sure you're familiar with this

1679
02:22:40,410 --> 02:22:47,070
at some point we'll probably get a presentation here where VMT mitigation, so like if we put in

1680
02:22:47,530 --> 02:22:52,830
bike lanes, then that's plus for us, because every lane you put in in your streets,

1681
02:22:52,830 --> 02:22:59,730
it's a complicated mess that public works can still deal with, but so whether or not we're going

1682
02:22:59,730 --> 02:23:05,130
to self-monitor it or we're going to join in with them, it makes more sense to join in with them,

1683
02:23:05,130 --> 02:23:06,310
But so be prepared for that one.

1684
02:23:09,090 --> 02:23:17,410
With RCTC, we had a robust discussion today about removing the remaining call boxes that are within Riverside County freeways.

1685
02:23:17,950 --> 02:23:21,570
It actually got 10 no votes, and it wasn't for the money.

1686
02:23:21,690 --> 02:23:25,390
The money was $150,000 to remove them.

1687
02:23:27,930 --> 02:23:34,530
Because when they first came online and let's say 1990, they said that maybe 2% of the people had cell phones.

1688
02:23:34,530 --> 02:23:38,070
And now it's like 98% according to the staff they gave.

1689
02:23:38,190 --> 02:23:39,410
That's a lot of work.

1690
02:23:39,410 --> 02:23:40,910
I never used to, but it's always a nice lake.

1691
02:23:41,210 --> 02:23:48,210
Well, then the other issue was that, because RCTC doesn't manage it personally,

1692
02:23:48,390 --> 02:23:49,210
they contract out.

1693
02:23:49,550 --> 02:23:52,090
And the contractors, apparently, it's not just Riverside, apparently,

1694
02:23:52,210 --> 02:23:55,350
it's just an issue in that industry where they just don't do a good job.

1695
02:23:56,650 --> 02:24:00,490
And so you end up with a call box that doesn't work and whatnot.

1696
02:24:00,490 --> 02:24:04,990
So anyway, that is ongoing.

1697
02:24:06,530 --> 02:24:12,110
What was interesting is that Supervisor Karen Spiegel is also the chair of RCTC this year.

1698
02:24:12,250 --> 02:24:18,170
She had noted how it's always the smaller dollar items that go on for half an hour.

1699
02:24:18,610 --> 02:24:20,750
Where the next one was $65 million.

1700
02:24:21,210 --> 02:24:27,550
And before they could even finish the staff report, it was like move approval.

1701
02:24:27,550 --> 02:24:29,590
And it's like that, okay, that's interesting.

1702
02:24:30,890 --> 02:24:35,430
Then there's this other one, I know that Jason and I attended Southwest Elected Leaders

1703
02:24:35,430 --> 02:24:36,250
Collaborative Group.

1704
02:24:36,670 --> 02:24:42,630
I'm not sure where we're on on that because they have lofty ideals that I'm not sure that

1705
02:24:42,630 --> 02:24:47,710
they translate to anything happening right now, and they wanted to put together a video

1706
02:24:47,710 --> 02:24:52,470
and they were kind of going around this table, and Laurie Stone's kind of, okay, how about

1707
02:24:52,470 --> 02:24:53,090
How about you?

1708
02:24:53,230 --> 02:24:58,650
Like putting a finger on every either city or like RTA was there.

1709
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:28,900
And everybody's like, I'll bring up to the council. Okay. And I just, they got to me. I go, look, I don't want to be a wet blanket here, but I can't imagine asking the council for $2,000 for a video that doesn't necessarily even have an audience. So, yeah, they were looking at me like kind of hard. No, I, because they had this great video from maybe six or eight years ago that, to make it all put together for a similar campaign, because they wanted to widen the freeway and they had dramatic music with drums.

1710
02:25:28,900 --> 02:25:34,700
and all this, and then they have all the images you can picture of packed freeways.

1711
02:25:35,360 --> 02:25:39,520
And I just said, I go, come on, I mean, if somebody played that for us, we're sophisticated

1712
02:25:39,520 --> 02:25:39,940
enough.

1713
02:25:40,120 --> 02:25:43,140
I hope that's not also takes to say worse, the worst to check book, right?

1714
02:25:44,300 --> 02:25:49,440
And so then I said, especially talking about the next level up in Sacramento, they know

1715
02:25:49,440 --> 02:25:49,820
there's traffic.

1716
02:25:49,980 --> 02:25:52,900
Anyway, so I was not everybody's favorite person at that meeting.

1717
02:25:54,400 --> 02:25:58,880
So anyway, the last one is that I had a chance to meet with a couple of

1718
02:25:58,880 --> 02:26:22,440
I mentioned the one already how he had his concerns with the illegal terms at Kaiser than we've talked about that, but then there was so the other person because I had her her issue was also about these trailers, and so I met with her and that's what any of the city council would meet as it turned out she is in my district, but like I told her, if you had lived at the farm, I would met you with you anyway.

1719
02:26:24,400 --> 02:26:30,380
And I would just say that as we heard tonight and whatnot, we need to take this like maximum

1720
02:26:30,380 --> 02:26:34,100
serious and just put maximum legal pressure now.

1721
02:26:34,180 --> 02:26:40,180
It's been going on since January and especially if what we had heard tonight, like the guy

1722
02:26:40,180 --> 02:26:41,220
says, he'll just pay fines.

1723
02:26:41,360 --> 02:26:41,920
It's like, you know what?

1724
02:26:42,600 --> 02:26:45,300
We don't want to still be talking about this at Christmas time.

1725
02:26:45,300 --> 02:26:53,060
So, if there's any way that we can just put that on, you know, the serious track, the

1726
02:26:53,060 --> 02:26:56,960
fast track, whatever the best name is, so that's my report.

1727
02:27:00,280 --> 02:27:00,820
Thank you.

1728
02:27:00,880 --> 02:27:06,800
I received a lot of phone calls, emails, Facebook messages, tags regarding those trailers.

1729
02:27:07,040 --> 02:27:07,660
I put out a video.

1730
02:27:07,660 --> 02:27:08,560
You put out a video.

1731
02:27:09,060 --> 02:27:10,340
Staff is working on it.

1732
02:27:10,560 --> 02:27:16,820
We will apply as much Max Pester because we can't write wrong on that, so I know it's a

1733
02:27:16,820 --> 02:27:21,680
serious issue, and we're taking it seriously. So I did attend the California Parks and Recreation

1734
02:27:21,680 --> 02:27:27,220
Society conference with Annell and Sheree, and we had a good time, learned a lot. It's a great

1735
02:27:27,220 --> 02:27:31,780
conference. Also attended the Wilhelm R. So, of course, the community church had a Wilhelm R.5K,

1736
02:27:32,120 --> 02:27:37,680
and it went well. They sold out. So next year, Daniel, they like to do the 5K 10K down the Flecker

1737
02:27:37,680 --> 02:27:44,100
told us like fatalities don't used to, just mentioning that. Mayor Ashley and I and she drove

1738
02:27:44,100 --> 02:27:50,220
of all the way to Burbank. We drove more time than we were there for the meeting. It's a

1739
02:27:50,220 --> 02:27:55,180
CalCities meeting, it was on homelessness, so listening how the state, how different

1740
02:27:55,180 --> 02:27:59,900
cities and jurisdictions are handling that. But we literally drove four and a half hours,

1741
02:28:00,280 --> 02:28:05,920
five and a half hours for our meeting. It was brutal. I've met with a lot of residents,

1742
02:28:06,040 --> 02:28:09,980
there's been a lot of code of force issues, and so I've been meeting with a lot of residents

1743
02:28:09,980 --> 02:28:14,900
about that. Also attended with Council of the Crystal Apple Wars. This is something the

1744
02:28:14,900 --> 02:28:22,660
Church of Jesus Christ, a Latter-day Saints, puts on. And RTA meetings and then thank you, Joseph,

1745
02:28:22,780 --> 02:28:28,180
actually cover for me one time. And I do want to mention this weekend, we have our egg hunt, so we have

1746
02:28:28,180 --> 02:28:34,500
16,000 eggs for the littles on Saturday morning. And then at night, we have teen egg hunt where we

1747
02:28:34,500 --> 02:28:38,960
turn off the lights and they have to find the eggs by dark with flashlight for the teens and we have

1748
02:28:38,960 --> 02:28:43,760
great prices for that and then tomorrow morning our city manager will be speaking at the city manager's

1749
02:28:43,760 --> 02:28:46,320
purpose. That's it.

1750
02:28:53,180 --> 02:28:55,240
The mayor and I attended the Lake Ellsville

1751
02:28:55,240 --> 02:29:00,940
Unified School District subcommittee this couple weeks ago. It's a good subcommittee out of

1752
02:29:00,940 --> 02:29:04,340
it. Jeanette, have you been informed already of a, I'm sorry, that was my idea.

1753
02:29:05,800 --> 02:29:11,600
A lot of people want to recognize although I can't receive it. Never mind. Yeah, a lot of

1754
02:29:11,600 --> 02:29:13,520
I think we're just going out to recognize some good people.

1755
02:29:15,020 --> 02:29:17,860
Productive meeting, and I'm listening under the,

1756
02:29:20,940 --> 02:29:21,860
yeah, no, that's it for now.

1757
02:29:22,300 --> 02:29:25,720
Our next meeting is an couple of months, and then the school's out, and

1758
02:29:25,720 --> 02:29:28,260
our kids are all in a, you know, a great order, she's.

1759
02:29:32,580 --> 02:29:33,280
All right, thank you.

1760
02:29:34,240 --> 02:29:39,380
So just a few of the events that I've been able to attend with some of my colleagues

1761
02:29:39,380 --> 02:29:45,020
over the last month, or since the last council meeting, we have the Earth Day event.

1762
02:29:45,020 --> 02:29:48,300
so again just a huge shout out to the community. Thank you for showing up for

1763
02:29:48,300 --> 02:29:54,300
Waldemar. Thank you for showing up for our city. You know you guys truly make

1764
02:29:54,300 --> 02:29:59,660
a difference and truly made an impact. I just want to thank the Waldemar

1765
02:29:59,660 --> 02:29:59,820
beautiful.

1766
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:28,900
A delegation of volunteers in the Baltimore Parks Foundation. I think I'm missing some. There we go. You have to say that 5 times fast. Yes. And also a 12-hour staff that supported that event. Again, great turnout and awesome community engagement. We had coffee with the city yesterday. And then we had our tacos with the mayor, Mayor Pro Tem,

1767
02:30:28,900 --> 02:30:35,540
them in the last month and we'll be looking to add more opportunities to engage with

1768
02:30:35,540 --> 02:30:37,900
the community the remainder of the year.

1769
02:30:40,200 --> 02:30:45,920
Next month, I finally have a scaffold meeting, guys, I'm really excited for like, you

1770
02:30:45,920 --> 02:30:53,060
know, I'll, I guess since since October, I've been waiting to meet again, but so hopefully

1771
02:30:53,060 --> 02:30:54,560
at the next Council meeting I have enough day for that.

1772
02:30:54,760 --> 02:30:55,380
That's it for me.

1773
02:30:55,380 --> 02:31:03,420
Thank you. And for those wondering what that is, it's the animal of the Valley J.P.

1774
02:31:03,540 --> 02:31:10,080
Right? All right. So, as Bridget said, Crystal Ovelawards, which is an awards presentation

1775
02:31:10,080 --> 02:31:17,540
to teachers chosen by students, the teamber breakfast, forget about it one year, grant opening,

1776
02:31:17,660 --> 02:31:24,300
or not grant opening, one year celebration, a meet and greet with Kelly Sayarto, as Dustin

1777
02:31:24,300 --> 02:31:25,980
since I will use the articulation meeting,

1778
02:31:27,480 --> 02:31:30,560
Carsten coffee with the city, student of the month.

1779
02:31:30,860 --> 02:31:34,280
So congratulations to our Will Demar,

1780
02:31:34,640 --> 02:31:38,500
a student of the month, who is Veronica.

1781
02:31:39,460 --> 02:31:40,540
Now I have to go by memory

1782
02:31:40,540 --> 02:31:42,860
because I think I grabbed the wrong one.

1783
02:31:43,240 --> 02:31:45,140
Veronica Aguilar, I believe was her name.

1784
02:31:47,680 --> 02:31:48,660
Yes, Veronica Aguilar.

1785
02:31:49,260 --> 02:31:50,400
And then also I'd also know a bit

1786
02:31:50,400 --> 02:31:52,960
not a Will Demar resident, but Will Demar school

1787
02:31:52,960 --> 02:31:56,200
is Oman, Muka, Pad, Haiai.

1788
02:31:59,340 --> 02:32:01,240
So, Earth Day was a tremendous success.

1789
02:32:01,620 --> 02:32:04,960
Thank you also, I'd like to take the city staff and city,

1790
02:32:05,960 --> 02:32:07,720
and there was more beautification volunteers,

1791
02:32:07,880 --> 02:32:09,160
and everybody who had a hand in it,

1792
02:32:09,240 --> 02:32:10,260
I know there were multiple departments,

1793
02:32:10,860 --> 02:32:12,500
you know, and Daniel was there that morning as well.

1794
02:32:13,140 --> 02:32:16,340
So thank you so much for all of your many contributions,

1795
02:32:16,340 --> 02:32:19,140
as well as the volunteers, and then the date

1796
02:32:19,140 --> 02:32:20,180
for next year's already been set.

1797
02:32:21,420 --> 02:32:22,860
So, do you want to say it?

1798
02:32:23,760 --> 02:32:24,580
Mark your calendars?

1799
02:32:24,600 --> 02:32:25,960
April 18, 2026.

1800
02:32:26,320 --> 02:32:26,840
April 18.

1801
02:32:27,940 --> 02:32:28,180
All right.

1802
02:32:28,440 --> 02:32:33,460
So, I also attended Bring Your Kid to Work Day and read to the little ones.

1803
02:32:34,100 --> 02:32:36,180
That was super fun and they were so cute.

1804
02:32:36,380 --> 02:32:39,800
We have a lot of really cute staff kids that were there.

1805
02:32:40,220 --> 02:32:41,020
A lot of two-year-olds.

1806
02:32:41,180 --> 02:32:42,040
I was surprised about that.

1807
02:32:42,280 --> 02:32:43,280
But the two-year-olds held it down.

1808
02:32:43,460 --> 02:32:45,360
Like, they were, yeah, they were on lock.

1809
02:32:45,560 --> 02:32:45,900
They were good.

1810
02:32:47,600 --> 02:32:53,560
The community, as Bridget mentioned, we went to the community services policy committee

1811
02:32:53,560 --> 02:32:58,780
meeting for League of Cities and so we, actually the main thing, I mean, there's a lot

1812
02:32:58,780 --> 02:32:59,280
of discussion.

1813
02:33:00,360 --> 02:33:06,540
The main discussion was about streamlining Medicare, Medicare, right?

1814
02:33:07,120 --> 02:33:10,860
Streamlining Medicare in order to help, so lobbying.

1815
02:33:11,160 --> 02:33:15,220
So League of Cities was asking input on if we want to lobby for this or not.

1816
02:33:15,220 --> 02:33:18,060
and we did affirmatively, including Bridget,

1817
02:33:18,260 --> 02:33:25,340
and I voted affirmatively to it's not in my estimation,

1818
02:33:25,340 --> 02:33:27,140
it's not an expansion of the program.

1819
02:33:27,400 --> 02:33:29,620
It's more of a cut through the bureaucracies

1820
02:33:29,620 --> 02:33:32,400
of the program to reach through and assume

1821
02:33:32,400 --> 02:33:35,200
that somebody is qualified for those services

1822
02:33:35,200 --> 02:33:37,980
when they're encountered on the street.

1823
02:33:38,360 --> 02:33:41,060
So that way they don't get in the cycle

1824
02:33:41,060 --> 02:33:42,460
of waiting for doctor's appointments

1825
02:33:42,460 --> 02:33:44,120
and needing rights to doctor's appointments

1826
02:33:44,120 --> 02:33:47,360
and all of that, they can just assume that they are eligible

1827
02:33:47,360 --> 02:33:50,740
and they can get services based off that assumption.

1828
02:33:51,440 --> 02:33:53,020
So that's not something that's been voted in,

1829
02:33:53,060 --> 02:33:55,260
that's something that Bridget and I voted affirmatively

1830
02:33:55,260 --> 02:33:57,720
to support, and that's why we were there, essentially.

1831
02:33:58,940 --> 02:34:02,520
And then now League of Cities will go forward and lobby for that.

1832
02:34:04,100 --> 02:34:07,240
We had our web, or will the more engaging businesses meeting

1833
02:34:07,240 --> 02:34:11,160
with Bridget and myself in Kimberly and commercial builders

1834
02:34:11,160 --> 02:34:17,860
meet-up with Carlos and Kimberly and I feel like there's always stuff we we

1835
02:34:17,860 --> 02:34:25,040
miss believe or not on our list and that concludes my report.

1836
02:34:27,100 --> 02:34:27,860
Do we have a

1837
02:34:27,860 --> 02:34:35,940
sitting managers report? Yes I do Madam Mayor so on the agenda there's three

1838
02:34:35,940 --> 02:34:41,820
items the first one is the fire hazard severity zones as many of you read in the

1839
02:34:41,820 --> 02:34:46,360
paper. This was released earlier in the month. Our fire department, our fire

1840
02:34:46,360 --> 02:34:52,760
marshal are working feverishly. On that we are currently during part of the

1841
02:34:52,760 --> 02:34:58,820
community comment phase. You can go on to our website. We've created a new page

1842
02:34:58,820 --> 02:34:59,860
gender that same name.

1843
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:07,520
Fire, hazard, severity, zone. There's links on there. You can also find that under our newly created

1844
02:35:07,520 --> 02:35:13,520
World of Mar Fire Department page. And so you have an opportunity. The other common question

1845
02:35:13,520 --> 02:35:19,880
that we hear is that, oh my gosh, we have these new fire hazard, severity, zones coming

1846
02:35:19,880 --> 02:35:23,840
out. And that means our insurances are going to go up. And there really is a misconception

1847
02:35:23,840 --> 02:35:28,160
there. Those are two different maps. There's a risk map. These are a hazard map.

1848
02:35:29,920 --> 02:35:34,860
As I understand it, these maps identify hazard potential.

1849
02:35:35,180 --> 02:35:39,020
That's the map that's out before you or hazard potential, not fire risk.

1850
02:35:39,540 --> 02:35:47,560
Insurance company assesses risk, and these fire hazard severity zones pretty much have been updated to better align with the insurance risk maps.

1851
02:35:49,720 --> 02:35:52,520
So I know that there's going to be a lot of people excited about that.

1852
02:35:52,980 --> 02:35:55,240
I think you're going to get more information.

1853
02:35:55,240 --> 02:35:59,420
So please come back at the May meeting, we'll be covering a lot of fire.

1854
02:35:59,760 --> 02:36:04,020
We'll have some fire-wise community discussions, we'll have some lessons learned from the LA fire.

1855
02:36:04,260 --> 02:36:08,480
So keep staying engaged and learn more about the fire hazards.

1856
02:36:09,280 --> 02:36:16,360
The second item was asked on staffing and day coverage as a future agenda item.

1857
02:36:16,840 --> 02:36:20,560
So Carlos, my intent is just to kind of give a high level overview.

1858
02:36:20,560 --> 02:36:31,300
If that's satisfactory, great if you feel like you still want to have a staff report back, then obviously we'll take more feedback as I obviously didn't fully understand your question was last time.

1859
02:36:32,060 --> 02:36:38,640
We did go through and did a survey of day coverage for all the neighboring cities.

1860
02:36:39,340 --> 02:36:47,800
We found that City of Corona and City of Wildermar are the only two locally that offer counter services Monday through Thursday and are closed on Friday.

1861
02:36:47,800 --> 02:36:55,120
All of our neighboring counterpart cities probably where you're hearing is they do provide counter service

1862
02:36:55,120 --> 02:36:55,860
money through Friday.

1863
02:36:56,900 --> 02:37:01,140
The differences are they use a blend of work forces.

1864
02:37:02,140 --> 02:37:08,480
So we tradition a traditional work day is five, eight hour days.

1865
02:37:09,040 --> 02:37:15,560
Some offer a split 980 schedule meaning that you work run Friday and then you have the alternate Friday off.

1866
02:37:15,560 --> 02:37:18,080
And so you've got enough staff that you could split schedule.

1867
02:37:19,060 --> 02:37:21,840
And then many of these also have 4-10 schedules.

1868
02:37:22,140 --> 02:37:23,480
So there's a blend.

1869
02:37:23,660 --> 02:37:27,440
Will Demar uses a traditional 5-8 schedule and 4-10s.

1870
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:29,220
So we do have that.

1871
02:37:29,800 --> 02:37:36,060
But I guess the question is, is there value in having the City Hall

1872
02:37:36,060 --> 02:37:37,240
offices open on a Friday?

1873
02:37:38,460 --> 02:37:41,020
Obviously, there's a lot of opinions, schools of thought.

1874
02:37:41,520 --> 02:37:43,140
I do have some statistics.

1875
02:37:43,720 --> 02:37:48,040
And I think what's interesting is we went through and knocked on all the different doors

1876
02:37:48,040 --> 02:37:51,640
and said how many in-person visits are you getting?

1877
02:37:52,020 --> 02:37:53,680
What days of the week are you getting them?

1878
02:37:54,280 --> 02:37:55,380
How many are on Friday?

1879
02:37:56,120 --> 02:37:57,940
How many calls are you getting during the week?

1880
02:37:58,940 --> 02:38:03,920
And they couldn't answer the question as to how many people now are doing business online?

1881
02:38:04,580 --> 02:38:08,860
And so I think what we have definitely seen over the last five years, we've gone electronic.

1882
02:38:08,860 --> 02:38:10,940
We have more and more folks going online.

1883
02:38:10,940 --> 02:38:27,900
And so at the end of the day and it's quite a spreadsheet, I won't read the whole spreadsheet to you, but on average now, a majority of the calls for all of these cities, they're coming in by calls, very few in person.

1884
02:38:29,220 --> 02:38:37,980
City of Wilhelmar has in person about 29 a week. Most of the permits are done online.

1885
02:38:39,020 --> 02:38:44,580
If I was to project based off of the percentages that the other cities are using,

1886
02:38:45,080 --> 02:38:49,240
we possibly could have three people come into City Hall on a Friday.

1887
02:38:49,920 --> 02:38:56,840
So those are some statistics, but as I drilled down further, I think the other question was,

1888
02:38:57,420 --> 02:39:00,760
how are we handling our staffing for some of the other after hour concerns?

1889
02:39:00,760 --> 02:39:09,520
And then you guys have mentioned numerous times concerns about illegal food vendors, homeless

1890
02:39:09,520 --> 02:39:14,520
support services, and some of those other things, and so stay tuned.

1891
02:39:14,960 --> 02:39:19,420
Would like to bring back that piece of it under the Code Enforcement Discussion during

1892
02:39:19,420 --> 02:39:21,060
the May Budget Session.

1893
02:39:21,380 --> 02:39:26,120
So I don't know if you needed more on that or if the May Budget Session addressing those

1894
02:39:26,120 --> 02:39:29,000
other after-hour services would satisfy.

1895
02:39:30,500 --> 02:39:32,740
So I have a couple of initial questions.

1896
02:39:33,500 --> 02:39:36,300
Can you provide one?

1897
02:39:36,820 --> 02:39:40,400
I'd be interested in seeing the statistics that you gathered

1898
02:39:40,400 --> 02:39:42,060
and sharing that with the council.

1899
02:39:42,640 --> 02:39:44,520
If that's something that you guys are also interested in.

1900
02:39:46,360 --> 02:39:47,460
And then the second is,

1901
02:39:49,640 --> 02:39:52,020
I'd like to assess our current service hours

1902
02:39:53,620 --> 02:39:59,140
with our current work schedules so if that can be brought back.

1903
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:21,940
So, we talked about some of the comparisons to the other cities, right, for Will Demor, for working for tent. So, I want to know how the comparison of town availability is for our work schedule. We want to go five days a week, right?

1904
02:40:22,360 --> 02:40:25,800
Well, you want, I'll say, Dan, can you remember the player

1905
02:40:25,800 --> 02:40:28,480
like in a month about how we go five days a week out of service?

1906
02:40:29,000 --> 02:40:32,120
I was going to say, at least we'll get you the budget

1907
02:40:32,120 --> 02:40:35,820
if we get through and then we can maybe keep holding on a little bit.

1908
02:40:36,920 --> 02:40:38,780
Well, we're not playing the game of like, we don't

1909
02:40:38,780 --> 02:40:40,920
work with them, the thing, they're not just, you know,

1910
02:40:41,100 --> 02:40:41,780
but yes, I can wait.

1911
02:40:42,200 --> 02:40:45,880
Yeah, well, I still want to be brought back in May.

1912
02:40:45,880 --> 02:40:52,020
Okay, current, counter hours compared to where?

1913
02:40:52,680 --> 02:40:55,220
Well, I could answer that question.

1914
02:40:55,460 --> 02:41:02,000
All of these agencies have standard current counter hours open to the public as do we, right?

1915
02:41:02,280 --> 02:41:03,320
It's a traditional.

1916
02:41:03,520 --> 02:41:04,980
So how do I compare to theirs?

1917
02:41:05,960 --> 02:41:09,780
Meaning that you open the doors at A and you close the doors at five.

1918
02:41:09,780 --> 02:41:14,100
talking more schedule for tens, right? Now I'm talking about planned reviews.

1919
02:41:16,120 --> 02:41:18,500
Just general counter service hours.

1920
02:41:21,040 --> 02:41:22,160
What's up?

1921
02:41:22,380 --> 02:41:25,300
Like services provided during those like five days a week?

1922
02:41:26,280 --> 02:41:30,080
I'm sorry, man. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I appreciate you chiming in.

1923
02:41:30,420 --> 02:41:31,040
I think I'm going to put up.

1924
02:41:31,340 --> 02:41:38,570
What I'm looking for is what are current counter hours that we I guess allow residents to come in

1925
02:41:38,570 --> 02:41:41,370
to do plan checks, plan reviews, or whatever it is.

1926
02:41:42,010 --> 02:41:48,250
And I want to know how that compares to our neighboring cities who have the 5-8 schedule.

1927
02:41:48,850 --> 02:41:53,870
While we have a 4-10, are we providing additional service hours because we're open longer?

1928
02:41:54,410 --> 02:41:59,810
Are we providing comparable service hours, or are we providing less even though we're open longer?

1929
02:42:00,410 --> 02:42:07,690
No, we are providing the same regular business hours as our neighbors from 8 to 5.

1930
02:42:07,690 --> 02:42:13,270
We, like Corona, provide that Monday through Thursday.

1931
02:42:14,690 --> 02:42:21,570
The other cities, the larger cities who've got larger staffs to have our able to split schedules,

1932
02:42:22,170 --> 02:42:29,070
and they do allow for counter-walk-up services on Fridays from 8 to 5.

1933
02:42:30,530 --> 02:42:33,390
So those are the actuals.

1934
02:42:34,230 --> 02:42:37,310
There could be an anomaly in there, but for the most part that's it.

1935
02:42:37,310 --> 02:42:39,510
I'm not aware of seven o'clock,

1936
02:42:39,750 --> 02:42:42,390
I'm not aware of 7'30, I'm not aware of 5'30s or 6s.

1937
02:42:42,630 --> 02:42:46,070
Okay, so I think there was some of the feedback

1938
02:42:46,070 --> 02:42:47,850
that I from residents might have been around.

1939
02:42:48,550 --> 02:42:52,190
I think they're only able to come in nine to one

1940
02:42:52,190 --> 02:42:54,290
or nine to two, does that ring in any bills?

1941
02:42:54,930 --> 02:42:55,470
Was that not accurate?

1942
02:42:55,510 --> 02:42:58,490
No, that's not, well, no, that's not fully accurate.

1943
02:42:58,690 --> 02:43:03,330
What we have over the years when we've had minimal staff,

1944
02:43:03,330 --> 02:43:16,650
For example, and this is, we would run planning hours from nine to one, for example, because we didn't have enough planners, so we would have a planner work, a counter share from nine to one.

1945
02:43:17,030 --> 02:43:18,150
That's not been the case.

1946
02:43:18,890 --> 02:43:23,470
We've not limited hours on any of our services for the last four years that I've been the city manager.

1947
02:43:23,670 --> 02:43:27,230
We've provided full services for those for eight hours.

1948
02:43:27,230 --> 02:43:35,670
And the other point of the matter is this, if any of our residents have asked for after-hours or if they've asked for a Friday,

1949
02:43:36,550 --> 02:43:45,570
we have all been here and there's never been a miss of those meetings as council members have asked for us to go to residents' homes after-hours.

1950
02:43:45,770 --> 02:43:50,030
We've met you at those homes, we've resolved those problems, we've opened up City Hall.

1951
02:43:50,030 --> 02:43:57,410
Also, I'm not aware nor have I heard that we have never served our residents who have had a need.

1952
02:43:57,770 --> 02:44:00,430
So, but I'm more than welcome to hear that.

1953
02:44:00,610 --> 02:44:08,250
I think from the statistics potentially, we could have three people come in on a Friday, if we were open all day Friday.

1954
02:44:08,690 --> 02:44:13,370
The decision that we originally, when we did shut it down, I think Corona probably had the same thing,

1955
02:44:13,370 --> 02:44:19,750
is you're firing up all of this facility, air conditioning, all of the, you know, everything

1956
02:44:20,190 --> 02:44:26,670
and providing a full staff in here during those hours for a few people.

1957
02:44:26,850 --> 02:44:32,470
And so, again, that's your call, but those are the reasons why we currently operate the

1958
02:44:32,470 --> 02:44:33,110
way we operate.

1959
02:44:33,550 --> 02:44:34,190
I got it.

1960
02:44:34,750 --> 02:44:34,870
All right.

1961
02:44:35,070 --> 02:44:40,510
I mean, so what I heard from Council is we can bring it back after, like it.

1962
02:44:40,830 --> 02:44:41,830
Well, it's not thinking right.

1963
02:44:42,710 --> 02:44:49,590
Right, because I'm thinking right now, May and June and we have to have our budget by June 30th for this next two year cycles.

1964
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:29,380
Okay. So, that was not the completion of the city managers report. Sorry. The other question that you brought was another future agenda item, Carlos, was how do we reach out to our non-tech residents? I think you're talking about our senior community or folks that wouldn't feel as comfortable going on in using technical computers and the like. We've got some ideas to share. None of this has also been budgeted.

1965
02:45:29,380 --> 02:45:37,100
But ideas are, we could post flyers at locations like senior centers, libraries, pharmacies,

1966
02:45:37,300 --> 02:45:43,320
faith-based operations, places where our senior population could be going on certain events.

1967
02:45:43,320 --> 02:45:47,280
If those were important to get out, that's something that we could easily do.

1968
02:45:48,820 --> 02:45:53,760
We're also looking into, we get peg money every year, so part of the franchise agreements

1969
02:45:53,760 --> 02:45:56,360
that we get, peg monies are for the TVs.

1970
02:45:56,360 --> 02:46:05,440
There is a city TV channel and so being able to place some of these notices posting these notices on the city TV channel could be effective.

1971
02:46:07,020 --> 02:46:11,200
We're also looking into a city kiosk.

1972
02:46:11,700 --> 02:46:17,520
So as right now when we post all of our meetings the meetings are posted up on the board outside paper copy.

1973
02:46:17,740 --> 02:46:20,160
We go to the library paper copy.

1974
02:46:20,160 --> 02:46:27,520
And so having actually a digital city kiosk that's got touch green ability could also be able to

1975
02:46:27,520 --> 02:46:32,000
provide some of this local information. And then of course we have a local business papers and

1976
02:46:32,000 --> 02:46:36,960
throwaways that could include that. Again that was I think a question you had I didn't know if you

1977
02:46:36,960 --> 02:46:43,040
wanted to bring this back as a more detailed staff report or did that kind of answer some of the

1978
02:46:43,040 --> 02:46:50,080
ideas you were thinking about. That answers it. I think with everything there's an associate

1979
02:46:50,780 --> 02:47:07,750
And so I guess my question to be or my follow up question to you would be which of these proposals or suggestions that you provided would be I guess low hanging fruit that we could tackle.

1980
02:47:10,030 --> 02:47:17,230
I guess the question really is is what are the things in addition you would like us to reach out on if it's special events.

1981
02:47:17,230 --> 02:47:20,690
Maybe we could add to that are there is the monthly news?

1982
02:47:20,810 --> 02:47:23,270
I mean, I guess the looking for some direction.

1983
02:47:23,650 --> 02:47:24,190
What are you looking for?

1984
02:47:24,230 --> 02:47:28,190
So I think one of the things that you just mentioned was we received grants or the pet grants.

1985
02:47:28,890 --> 02:47:29,690
Yes, for TD.

1986
02:47:29,830 --> 02:47:30,930
I would like to take advantage of that.

1987
02:47:34,050 --> 02:47:36,370
What other, you know something that's good to you guys.

1988
02:47:36,370 --> 02:47:42,450
Well, I think we could definitely email flyers and ask the church to post another community board.

1989
02:47:42,670 --> 02:47:47,570
That is across the same money, right besides email, they could just add it into our email list already.

1990
02:47:48,990 --> 02:47:54,850
or we said the senior center, right, we already are the library and then another thing is what about Kaiser?

1991
02:47:55,170 --> 02:47:56,170
I mean, do they have a community board?

1992
02:47:56,430 --> 02:48:02,710
We can ask them to post our community flyers there if they have one, but I think if we, if we just email them,

1993
02:48:02,910 --> 02:48:05,550
that's not possible to say anything and then they posted in every respective locations.

1994
02:48:07,270 --> 02:48:08,890
I think that's a good suggestion as well.

1995
02:48:10,670 --> 02:48:19,670
very good. I did haven't also an item to talk about about the black series trailers. We've heard a lot of discussion about that.

1996
02:48:20,090 --> 02:48:25,710
Raul is here, but I don't know if you still at this point, I mean you understand we're doing everything we can.

1997
02:48:25,850 --> 02:48:28,490
If you'd like to hear a report from Raul, he's here to report to you.

1998
02:48:29,270 --> 02:48:29,670
Yeah.

1999
02:48:30,490 --> 02:48:31,590
Okay, please come up, Raul.

2000
02:48:32,190 --> 02:48:36,310
While we're all making a sway up here, I just want to ask a question, the answer is probably no.

2001
02:48:36,490 --> 02:48:44,290
But are there any emergency measures we can do considering their fire risk and, you know, other risks involved?

2002
02:48:51,240 --> 02:48:53,540
The item isn't on your agenda.

2003
02:48:53,640 --> 02:49:00,340
I know you're going to get a report, but we, I mean, you should listen to the report and then let staff do their work.

2004
02:49:05,790 --> 02:49:11,230
I'm here to give you an update regarding Black Series trailer.

2005
02:49:12,150 --> 02:49:23,950
This update is regarding 207-24 Palomar and also APN number 36806-005, which is the vacant

2006
02:49:23,950 --> 02:49:24,290
locked.

2007
02:49:26,850 --> 02:49:34,310
On December 2nd, Officer Basio conducted an inspection at the subject property, which is

2008
02:49:34,310 --> 02:49:41,150
a residential property. The property is listed as a 1975 single story, two-bedroom, two-vath

2009
02:49:41,150 --> 02:49:47,190
home with a detached garage. The inspection reveals several unpermitted structures to the

2010
02:49:47,190 --> 02:49:57,370
addition attached garage conversion. There was a void permit on file, two addition to the

2011
02:49:57,370 --> 02:49:58,950
the rear of the manufactured home.

2012
02:49:59,290 --> 02:49:59,970
Also, too.

2013
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:29,220
A few detached garages with no permits, shed located in the corner, no permits, and at that time, approximately six black series trailers were found on the property, with no permits, no business license, or any other documentation to support their storing of their trailers there. Action was taken, a notice of violation was mailed to the property owner. Some follow-up actions and communication, once that was sent out,

2014
02:50:29,220 --> 02:50:38,540
on the 23rd Officer Basio contacted Eileen Gokin, the property owner. She informed Officer Basio

2015
02:50:38,540 --> 02:50:44,140
that her daughter Margaret is the executor of her estate. And she wasn't aware of the

2016
02:50:44,140 --> 02:50:49,080
traitor being stored there and adviser that her daughter would make contact with her.

2017
02:50:49,560 --> 02:50:56,480
The following day, Margaret, the executor contacted Officer Basio and discussed at the complaint.

2018
02:50:56,480 --> 02:51:01,960
She explained that the tenants occupied the property and she wasn't aware of the trailer being stored there.

2019
02:51:02,940 --> 02:51:14,700
Mr. Keifield also informed of the unpermitted structure, Officer Bajio suggested to be focused on the trailers that are being stored there.

2020
02:51:15,380 --> 02:51:23,480
There was an additional time that was given to the executor due to her temporary health conditions on there.

2021
02:51:23,480 --> 02:51:31,120
So, at that point, a follow-up date was set for March 27th and 2005.

2022
02:51:33,510 --> 02:51:42,550
There was additional communications with the executive later she had contacted Officer

2023
02:51:42,550 --> 02:51:49,930
Vaju, informing her that she had spoke to the tenant and they were going to remove those

2024
02:51:49,930 --> 02:51:51,790
trailers off of both parcels.

2025
02:51:53,350 --> 02:52:01,750
Later on, there was a continued communication with the executive market, contacting Officer

2026
02:52:01,750 --> 02:52:08,830
Bosch, advising her that she had issued the tenant a 3-day notice to pay her quit due

2027
02:52:08,830 --> 02:52:10,170
to non-payment or rent.

2028
02:52:10,950 --> 02:52:18,310
The 3-days has expired in result of no payment, and she is now going forward with a 30-day

2029
02:52:18,310 --> 02:52:18,830
eviction.

2030
02:52:20,390 --> 02:52:26,550
And a second notice of violation was sent to the proprietor with a follow-up date of May 6.

2031
02:52:28,290 --> 02:52:33,950
With that, I opened up a second case on that property.

2032
02:52:34,390 --> 02:52:36,650
This one is strictly for the tenant.

2033
02:52:38,570 --> 02:52:45,650
On April 2nd, myself and Officer Baggio inspected the two parcels on Palomar.

2034
02:52:45,650 --> 02:52:53,070
During that inspection, we counted over 50 black series traders that were reserved

2035
02:52:53,070 --> 02:53:01,070
being stored on both properties. On residential and APNs, there was a 4. There was about 6 black

2036
02:53:01,070 --> 02:53:10,730
series trailers that were parked there on the vacant property. There was over 44 black

2037
02:53:10,730 --> 02:53:12,950
accessories being stored there.

2038
02:53:13,750 --> 02:53:16,450
At this point, there are still no permits or any authorization

2039
02:53:16,450 --> 02:53:18,550
for those traders in being there.

2040
02:53:19,950 --> 02:53:22,710
The action that was taken, a notice of violation,

2041
02:53:23,010 --> 02:53:26,530
was sent to the tenant, also posted, on the property,

2042
02:53:28,110 --> 02:53:31,170
with a fall-up of April 21st, 2025.

2043
02:53:32,670 --> 02:53:34,970
So, additional fall-ups and communication,

2044
02:53:36,590 --> 02:53:39,230
April 7th, that afternoon, Officer Vagina, myself,

2045
02:53:39,230 --> 02:53:41,710
or visit the black service trailer property,

2046
02:53:42,230 --> 02:53:44,970
I met with a representative of black service trailer

2047
02:53:44,970 --> 02:53:47,070
who was actually bringing an additional trailer

2048
02:53:47,070 --> 02:53:48,430
onto that property.

2049
02:53:49,270 --> 02:53:50,910
May contact with them.

2050
02:53:51,530 --> 02:53:54,190
There was a language barrier there.

2051
02:53:54,430 --> 02:53:55,990
He was only speaking Chinese.

2052
02:53:56,410 --> 02:53:59,230
So I got my trustee, you know, communication app.

2053
02:53:59,410 --> 02:54:00,590
And I was able to communicate with them.

2054
02:54:00,770 --> 02:54:05,070
And he also contacted a representative of black series trailers

2055
02:54:05,070 --> 02:54:06,570
who was their translator.

2056
02:54:06,570 --> 02:54:23,010
So during that conversation with him, I informed him of the violations and the property and also gave him the posted notice that was on the gate to give to the property owner or excuse me, the business owner of Black Series trailers.

2057
02:54:24,190 --> 02:54:31,390
I'm informed him that these trailers being stored there are a violation or a municipal code and those trailers need to be removed immediately.

2058
02:54:35,720 --> 02:54:47,020
Today, I received a phone call from a representative black series trailer, basically asking for an extension or some leniency regarding our case.

2059
02:54:47,720 --> 02:54:58,080
I informed him that I have my instructions to have those trailers to be vacated off that property as soon as possible.

2060
02:54:58,080 --> 02:54:59,980
and the only the will not

2061
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:11,620
I cannot be an extension given. So the only extension that I could possibly give you would be giving you a second notice, which would give you a little bit more time at that point, still following our protocol of giving them a notice.

2062
02:55:13,740 --> 02:55:14,240
So,

2063
02:55:18,030 --> 02:55:32,990
we'll continue seeing the course of our investigation. Both cases are ongoing with the compliance date of May 6th for the upper-manage structures and trailer. A follow-up inspection will take place on the 21st to ensure that these trailers

2064
02:55:32,990 --> 02:55:42,750
have been removed from the property per violation notice, for the second case, further action may be required based on the results of these inspections.

2065
02:55:43,530 --> 02:55:47,110
And that concludes my report and I have any questions if you guys have any.

2066
02:55:47,390 --> 02:55:50,790
Yeah, no questions, no questions, yeah, but thank you for the report.

2067
02:55:51,670 --> 02:56:01,550
We've heard your comments, we will continue to work with RSO, wasn't aware that it was a fire hazard, so we'll have that discussion as well.

2068
02:56:01,550 --> 02:56:07,590
I've already briefed the city attorney will have follow-up discussion tomorrow.

2069
02:56:08,370 --> 02:56:16,170
One last point just to point out is that for an RV storage, as you know, in our new

2070
02:56:16,170 --> 02:56:23,270
development code, they would be required to apply for and get approval of a discretionary

2071
02:56:23,270 --> 02:56:24,470
conditional use permit.

2072
02:56:24,890 --> 02:56:30,690
No permits for this use on this property have ever been submitted, so clearly it is in

2073
02:56:30,690 --> 02:56:35,070
violation. I know that folks would say, well, could they become legal?

2074
02:56:35,710 --> 02:56:41,810
Well, they would have to go through that quite exhaustive process, and now we'll follow up with you on that.

2075
02:56:41,930 --> 02:56:45,010
That actually completes City Manager's report.

2076
02:56:45,790 --> 02:56:47,650
Thank you, Royal. Thank you, Dan.

2077
02:56:48,810 --> 02:56:52,130
Okay, I have some future agenda items.

2078
02:56:53,310 --> 02:56:56,650
I'd like to revisit our shed setback.

2079
02:56:58,220 --> 02:57:07,600
So, specifically from the property line, so we've had some complaints about, I mean,

2080
02:57:07,780 --> 02:57:09,200
it is our ordinance to have five feet.

2081
02:57:11,120 --> 02:57:16,600
There's a lot of finger pointing going on about everybody not abiding by that, which I've

2082
02:57:16,600 --> 02:57:17,200
also observed.

2083
02:57:17,600 --> 02:57:23,040
So anyway, I just wanted to propose that as a future agenda item, again, same work.

2084
02:57:23,040 --> 02:57:24,980
But all right,

2085
02:57:27,220 --> 02:57:36,880
and then the next one, is it budgeted anywhere for us to look at solar for the city hall with a battery backup backup?

2086
02:57:38,100 --> 02:57:49,540
So we actually, about three, four months ago, we actually put in a request to be a community resiliency center through WR COG.

2087
02:57:49,540 --> 02:57:51,880
they've had a consultant come out to look at that.

2088
02:57:52,080 --> 02:57:59,700
If we're approved by that, there will be available for grant funds that would actually allow us to be an operations center.

2089
02:57:59,700 --> 02:58:03,960
It would also be able to be that 24 hour seven if we actually had an emergency.

2090
02:58:04,760 --> 02:58:07,400
It's not in our current budget that I'm aware of.

2091
02:58:07,400 --> 02:58:09,020
It's not as a specific project.

2092
02:58:09,420 --> 02:58:11,900
We are tracking that through WR COG and

2093
02:58:11,900 --> 02:58:14,340
hopeful that we can actually get some monies for that.

2094
02:58:14,340 --> 02:58:14,400
That.

2095
02:58:15,140 --> 02:58:16,500
All right.

2096
02:58:16,640 --> 02:58:16,920
Thank you.

2097
02:58:17,880 --> 02:58:19,320
Any more future data items?

2098
02:58:21,000 --> 02:58:22,300
I have one.

2099
02:58:22,720 --> 02:58:23,220
Was that a future?

2100
02:58:25,060 --> 02:58:33,600
I was proposing it as a future agenda item if it's not necessary because it's direction but

2101
02:58:33,600 --> 02:58:35,960
to be in half to have consensus for direction, right?

2102
02:58:37,400 --> 02:58:38,280
You tell us.

2103
02:58:42,890 --> 02:58:47,690
Maybe just an update if WRCog has gone back to us for now.

2104
02:58:47,690 --> 02:58:48,950
Yeah, did

2105
02:58:51,960 --> 02:58:53,160
you guys have any free trade in it?

2106
02:58:53,200 --> 02:58:54,180
No, I'm good, thank you.

2107
02:58:54,180 --> 02:59:02,860
Okay, so, I want to thank Margaret and Steve for coming up and giving the public comment

2108
02:59:02,860 --> 02:59:08,980
earlier today, sparked my mind in terms of maybe, I don't know if there's potential opportunity,

2109
02:59:09,260 --> 02:59:19,400
especially around the Anselvin Park to explore, I guess, an opportunity to collaborate

2110
02:59:20,380 --> 02:59:29,220
With the native plant network, you know, I think one of the designs that we had seen for that park was to include a butterfly garden.

2111
02:59:29,880 --> 02:59:34,320
So I just be interested in exploring potential collaboration.

2112
02:59:45,340 --> 02:59:48,760
All right, with that, right,

2113
02:59:53,420 --> 02:59:59,820
during the City Council meeting at 909 PM, in accordance with government code section.

2114
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:11,580
Aye, four, nine, five, two, point three. Aye, Jeanette Morales, city of Voldemort, city clerk. Do hereby declare that the Board of Trustees will receive no compensation or stipend for the convening of the following regular meeting of the Voldemort cemetery district.

2115
03:00:11,580 --> 03:00:11,720
Act.

2116
03:00:15,960 --> 03:00:16,840
Wait, roll call.

2117
03:00:18,420 --> 03:00:19,220

2127
03:00:29,540 --> 03:00:29,900
All right.

2128
03:00:29,980 --> 03:00:30,700
Do we have any public comments?

2129
03:00:31,600 --> 03:00:32,320
No public comments.

2130
03:00:32,720 --> 03:00:33,500
Any board communications?

2131
03:00:36,400 --> 03:00:38,020
Approval of the agenda as presented.

2132
03:00:38,340 --> 03:00:38,780
So moved.

2133
03:00:39,220 --> 03:00:39,520
Second.

2134
03:00:40,060 --> 03:00:40,460
All the favor?

2135
03:00:40,740 --> 03:00:40,920
Aye.

2136
03:00:41,840 --> 03:00:42,640
Cemetery consent.

2137
03:00:42,640 --> 03:00:43,020
Aye.

2138
03:00:43,400 --> 03:00:44,960
Cemetery consent calendar?

2139
03:00:45,940 --> 03:00:46,260
Aye.

2140
03:00:46,440 --> 03:00:47,280
I'll make a motion for that.

2141
03:00:47,660 --> 03:00:47,960
Second.

2142
03:00:48,620 --> 03:00:49,040
All the favor?

2143
03:00:49,380 --> 03:00:49,540
Aye.

2144
03:00:49,540 --> 03:00:49,660
Hi.

2145
03:00:50,140 --> 03:00:51,500
Motion carries 5-0.

2146
03:00:51,820 --> 03:00:52,000
Right.

2147
03:00:52,200 --> 03:00:55,480
No, we've got the cemetery, February Cemetery Treasurer's report.

2148
03:00:56,080 --> 03:00:57,180
That's on the minister's name.

2149
03:00:59,860 --> 03:01:01,200
It's part of the consent calendar.

2150
03:01:01,280 --> 03:01:01,900
Oh, sorry, you're right.

2151
03:01:04,770 --> 03:01:05,210
Okay.

2152
03:01:05,370 --> 03:01:06,830
No item scheduled for general business.

2153
03:01:07,430 --> 03:01:08,810
General manager's report.

2154
03:01:09,390 --> 03:01:09,630
Yes.

2155
03:01:09,770 --> 03:01:13,770
I'd like to invite Daniel to give the board an update on the Cemetery Master Plan study.

2156
03:01:14,710 --> 03:01:15,230
Yes.

2157
03:01:15,610 --> 03:01:19,750
So the Cemetery staff has been in contact with lean associates.

2158
03:01:19,750 --> 03:01:25,450
This is the consultant that provided the master plan for the cemetery back in 2019.

2159
03:01:26,290 --> 03:01:35,230
We initiated these discussions in November of last year and hopes to grasp the sudden

2160
03:01:35,230 --> 03:01:38,310
changes to the projections within our cemetery.

2161
03:01:40,010 --> 03:01:45,970
Having these conversations, the General Manager and I have come through several items that

2162
03:01:45,970 --> 03:01:54,350
we've continuously bounced back with the consultant, again, future use of the actual land within

2163
03:01:54,350 --> 03:02:02,090
the cemetery, future planning for phasing of the existing location, and then also the

2164
03:02:02,090 --> 03:02:08,850
projection of possibly utilizing a portion of the future cemetery for a veteran memorial.

2165
03:02:08,850 --> 03:02:12,610
And so this would include the community outreach needed.

2166
03:02:12,990 --> 03:02:17,050
This would include the current plots needed within the near future.

2167
03:02:18,030 --> 03:02:24,530
And so we are in conversations to finalize this agreement with the consultant and

2168
03:02:24,810 --> 03:02:32,980
looking to actually move forward within the next month and that sums up the update.

2169
03:02:33,420 --> 03:02:34,220
Great, thank you.

2170
03:02:34,220 --> 03:02:36,400
All right.

2171
03:02:41,070 --> 03:02:48,750
Any future agenda items? No? Seeing none, adjourned the Waldemar cemetery district meeting at 9-12
