1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:01,800
We should lead us in the pledge.

2
00:00:06,460 --> 00:00:07,620
Ready, begin.

3
00:00:08,460 --> 00:00:12,100
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

4
00:00:12,820 --> 00:00:14,980
And to the law that the religion stands.

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:16,520
One nation under God.

6
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:20,160
I'm doing this with liberty and justice for all.

7
00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:25,750
Thank you.

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,160
Right, all.

9
00:00:30,580 --> 00:00:32,180
You have approval of the agenda.

10
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:34,640
Yes, ma'am, I have a few requests this evening.

11
00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:38,780
Under discussion items, number 8C.

12
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:42,060
It's public here in her garden to close out financial accomplishment before for state and

13
00:00:42,060 --> 00:00:43,220
Mr. CDB block grant.

14
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:48,360
Our speaker has a commitment to seniors she needs to get to so if we can request we move

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,320
that up to right before presentations right after I can send calendar approval so she can

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,340
give her presentation and make her other commitment.

17
00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:56,640
That sounds fine with me.

18
00:00:57,340 --> 00:00:58,460
Do I have agreement?

19
00:00:59,620 --> 00:01:08,560
All right, so that'll move up under consent, item after item F. It'll become item 8.

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,820
Thank you so do we have a public hearing held immediately after consent calendar approval, right. Thank you.

21
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:18,680
Second.

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:20,860
Second.

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:21,460
Second.

24
00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:23,940
I have a motion by Council Member Lauren.

25
00:01:24,980 --> 00:01:26,380
Second by Council Member Sianna.

26
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:27,440
All those in favor?

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:28,200
Aye.

28
00:01:29,180 --> 00:01:29,760
Opposed?

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:30,900
Gary?

30
00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:38,600
Council staff comments?

31
00:01:41,340 --> 00:01:44,140
Councilmember Casabecchio, would you please start us off please.

32
00:01:45,220 --> 00:01:51,160
Sure, on the 13th, I attended the first of hopefully only two strategic planning sessions.

33
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:57,600
Yesterday I had the agenda briefed the city manager and after that I had the quarterly

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,240
habitat conservancy meeting. That's it.

35
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,540
Thank you.

36
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:06,940
Councilmember Sianna.

37
00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:16,040
All on the 17th, I had with the Rivers, Moscow Radio, by radio, and also the Spirit of Rivers

38
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,380
needing.

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,740
On the 85th, I was telling the downtown children needing, and later the lower Peter Creek

40
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:24,180
cornering community needing.

41
00:02:25,380 --> 00:02:32,920
On the 90th, we had a fantastic downtown bike event with lots of fun, musical bikes to ride,

42
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:40,640
and business is very generous with a lot of values and lots of fun for kids and adults

43
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:43,160
to put them back over to them in the news.

44
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,600
On the 30th we have our Strategy Council in New.

45
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,880
On the 40th I helped out with capstone interviews with high school seniors.

46
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,440
There were some great projects that kids walked out and we were proud to see our seniors doing so well.

47
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,380
And then maybe that night I went to the Apricure and the Spirit, news and news,

48
00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:04,900
family news and work with them.

49
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:08,780
It was very stuffed and it was really delicious.

50
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:13,900
18th, Kristallai hosted our volunteer fair.

51
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:18,360
We had about 15 service groups and non-profits.

52
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,600
I said this was a little disappointing but I believe that maybe I think

53
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,900
maybe we'll be a better moving forward option.

54
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:31,800
Yesterday, I had the agenda review, also shared the yellow,

55
00:03:32,180 --> 00:03:32,960
sesame,

56
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,440
and an attendant natural resource commission meeting,

57
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,000
and another private action committee meeting

58
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,380
and this morning, I toured the Recology Recycling Facility

59
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:48,660
in Salada County.

60
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,680
Oh, thank you.

61
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,020
Council Member Lauren.

62
00:03:54,380 --> 00:04:04,240
Before I go over my list of things that I've done since the last meeting I wanted to invite everyone to supervise their Lucas Farrick's party with the purpose.

63
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,860
It's on Saturday.

64
00:04:07,140 --> 00:04:07,740
No, it's Saturday.

65
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Sorry.

66
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,480
Six to eight.

67
00:04:09,740 --> 00:04:11,640
And it supports women's healthcare.

68
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,540
So please come out for a good cause.

69
00:04:15,020 --> 00:04:16,840
It'll be at Barry as a brewing.

70
00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:18,120
All right.

71
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:24,920
On May 9th, I met with the Euro Transportation District to review budget information, and

72
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,520
in the evening, I got to go to the bike event, and I got some goodies from my bike, so I was

73
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,320
really happy about that.

74
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:39,980
May 12th, Strategic Planning Committee with, with SACARC, on May 12th also reviewed the SACARC

75
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:46,380
or the Transportation Agenda, May 12th, evening, meeting with the Euro Transportation District.

76
00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:54,340
I chaired that meeting. May 13th, I had a EIFD check in with the staff from Senator

77
00:04:54,340 --> 00:04:59,560
Kavaldin's office to kind of give me more information on it. May 13th in the evening.

78
00:05:04,580 --> 00:05:14,960
I was just reminded that night that we better get a draft of the 150th anniversary proclamation

79
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:29,980
done and we did look at the split with where RIOCO finishing it. On May 15th, chair of

80
00:05:29,980 --> 00:05:36,260
And let's see, May 18th, I was proud to be part of the volunteer fair.

81
00:05:36,740 --> 00:05:43,640
I will say that somebody asked me about folks' deals at the dog parks.

82
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:48,360
And I know that that's an ongoing issue, so I just wanted to mention it.

83
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:55,380
And then May 20th, today, I attended an informal lunch meeting with the

84
00:05:55,380 --> 00:06:03,200
regional representative from FTA, the Federal Transit Authority, basically addressing funding

85
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,100
for transportation for the next.

86
00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:13,100
We're one year into a two-year cycle and what we can really hope for and their staff

87
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:20,340
has, they've lost 40% of their staff so it's really hard times in transportation and then

88
00:06:20,340 --> 00:06:27,460
Council briefing and that brings me up to the moment so thank you. Thank you. Mayor

89
00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:34,140
Pro Tem Biosi. Thank you, Mayor. On the 13th I was also at the strategic planning meeting

90
00:06:34,140 --> 00:06:40,000
with the council head. On the 14th I had a meeting with Christine Crawford to go over

91
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,460
the Lafko agenda that's meetings coming up this coming Thursday morning. On the 19th I had

92
00:06:46,460 --> 00:06:48,100
in January, with City Manager Craig.

93
00:06:49,220 --> 00:06:50,000
Thank you.

94
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,420
And now it's my turn.

95
00:06:52,540 --> 00:06:55,780
On Wednesday, May 7, I attended the Spirit of Winters meeting.

96
00:06:56,780 --> 00:06:59,820
Thursday, May 8, I attended the Lower Pewter Creek

97
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,240
Coordinating Committee meeting with members,

98
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,460
Sianna, to hear a presentation of a study conducted

99
00:07:06,460 --> 00:07:08,760
by two academics from San Jose State University

100
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,540
on the effects of homelessness in Bay Area waterways,

101
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,980
such as Pewter Creek and Pewter Creek

102
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:22,740
was I believe part of their study. It was quite interesting some of their findings. They

103
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,740
conducted a survey of the unhoused people they encountered in waterways around the

104
00:07:29,740 --> 00:07:35,960
Bay Area. And so the outcome of the survey was interesting and there was some discussion

105
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:44,480
towards what to do. But that's a very big issue. Too big for tonight. I'm Friday, May 9.

106
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,840
I attended the Monthly Chamber of Commerce business meeting, Friday, May 9th.

107
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:56,760
I also met with Winter Police Chief Miller on Monday, May 12th.

108
00:07:56,860 --> 00:08:04,020
I met with members of the Hispanic Society, members of the Hispanic Advisory Committee

109
00:08:04,020 --> 00:08:10,660
to Winter's Community Corrosion, together hosted the attorneys from the California Royal

110
00:08:10,660 --> 00:08:16,600
week assistance foundation for the information night on the first of two parts of the citizenship

111
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:23,160
workshop which will conclude on Saturday, May 31st when the applicants will return for their

112
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,960
one-on-ones with their attorneys. And this is something that the Hispanic Advisory Committee

113
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:34,300
and Community Court of Son try to do at least twice a year or when the list gets up to around

114
00:08:34,300 --> 00:08:38,060
around 15 people interested and the attorneys are available.

115
00:08:38,860 --> 00:08:45,000
On May 13th, with department heads, the department heads,

116
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,660
city manager Craig, and council, we held our first,

117
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:52,960
the first of our strategic, our priorities

118
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,500
and strategic planning session towards building

119
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:59,820
the 2025 city budget on Friday, May 15th.

120
00:08:59,820 --> 00:09:03,480
I met with a constituent on Sunday, May 17th.

121
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:11,020
I participated with my colleagues at the Winters of Volunteer Fair, Tuesday, May 20th.

122
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:18,260
I also attended a tour of the Recology Recycling Center south of Dixon, and this afternoon

123
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:25,720
I met with my agenda review with City Manager Craig, and that wrapped it up for me, and

124
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:35,120
And thank you all for all of the business and meeting you attend on behalf of the community and city of winners.

125
00:09:36,860 --> 00:09:37,320
All right.

126
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:52,100
Before we move into public comments, I just want to sort of say that this evening we're going to dedicate our meeting to a winner citizen who passed away last week.

127
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Some of you may or may not know Roy Irwin. Some people knew him as he

128
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,300
ambassador of winters.

129
00:10:00,180 --> 00:10:06,240
But he passed away last week. He'd been a winter's medicines for 57 years.

130
00:10:08,930 --> 00:10:20,710
He was known to be a very, very odd walker. You would see him walking at all parts of the town. He was known to be a hoist whisperer.

131
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:36,040
He was always happy to see you and sit down and have a conversation. Next week, the express will have an article about Roy. A celebration of his life will be

132
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:42,920
held on July 6th at Pioneer Presbyterian Church at 2nd and Russell Street. And tonight

133
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:53,840
we'd like to dedicate our meeting to Roy and his life. And my words and the way I think

134
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,860
about him is a very mighty and gentle soul, and we will miss him.

135
00:11:03,810 --> 00:11:05,210
And so we move on along.

136
00:11:05,210 --> 00:11:13,790
Um, uh, we did have met public comments, but first I'd like to recognize that we did receive

137
00:11:13,790 --> 00:11:24,330
a one letter from Drew, Mr. Rooley of Murmord Road regarding, uh, dog issues at three

138
00:11:24,330 --> 00:11:24,770
olds park.

139
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:30,540
And so now I hope there are any public comments at this time.

140
00:11:30,540 --> 00:11:34,940
Any member of the public may address the city council on matters which are now listed

141
00:11:34,940 --> 00:11:41,620
on this agenda. Citizens should reserve their comments from matters listed on this agenda

142
00:11:41,620 --> 00:11:47,000
at the time the item is considered by the council. An exception is made for members of the

143
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,180
public, for whom it wouldn't create a hardship to stay until their item is heard. Those individuals

144
00:11:53,180 --> 00:11:58,660
may address the item after the public has spoken on issues that are not listed on the agenda.

145
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,980
Presentations may be limited to accommodate all speakers within the time available.

146
00:12:03,980 --> 00:12:09,060
public comment may also be continued to later in the meeting should the time

147
00:12:09,060 --> 00:12:15,880
allowed for public comment expire. So at this time I open it up to general

148
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,780
public comments.

149
00:12:24,060 --> 00:12:27,780
All right I see none, we will move on along to the consent

150
00:12:27,780 --> 00:12:33,460
calendar. All matters listed under the consent calendar are considered routine

151
00:12:33,460 --> 00:12:39,480
and non-controversial. We call our no discussion and are expected to have

152
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,940
the unanimous council support and may be enacted by the City Council in one motion in the

153
00:12:44,940 --> 00:12:51,460
form listed below. There will be no separate discussion of these items. However, before

154
00:12:51,460 --> 00:12:57,320
the City Council votes on the motion to adopt members of the City Council staff for the public

155
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:03,280
may request that specific items may be removed from the consent calendar for separate discussion

156
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:11,900
and action items removed will be discussed later in the meeting as time permits and as we discussed

157
00:13:12,570 --> 00:13:17,280
as we started the meeting we've actually sort of done the opposite. We brought an item from

158
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:25,620
discussion up and at the end of consent at the request of the individual because of her time constraints.

159
00:13:26,940 --> 00:13:33,040
So I turn it over to City Manager to run down the list.

160
00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:35,960
Thank you, Mayor.

161
00:13:36,620 --> 00:13:38,760
Item A is a member of the understanding regarding

162
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,280
State Cockregional State Transportation Improvement Program,

163
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:46,600
Step Regional Set of Site Funding, item B is Resolution 202524,

Thank you.

00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:40,900
Are there any questions or discussion?

186
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,090
Do I have a motion?

187
00:14:47,490 --> 00:14:48,910
I move that we exactly look at.

188
00:14:49,010 --> 00:14:49,270
Excuse me.

189
00:14:49,270 --> 00:14:51,990
Would you like to ask for public comment?

190
00:14:53,070 --> 00:14:55,950
There are any public comments on the consent calendar.

191
00:15:05,230 --> 00:15:15,890
All right, now I will ask for the motion. Motion to approve the consent calendar, second the motion.

192
00:15:16,390 --> 00:15:28,450
Okay, we have a motion from councilmember Sianna and a second from councilmember Lorin. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. All those opposed unanimously passes.

193
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:36,890
And now we move to the first item, well, the last item in consent, but thank you Mary.

194
00:15:36,930 --> 00:15:37,810
Any discussion item?

195
00:15:38,030 --> 00:15:38,230
Yes.

196
00:15:38,350 --> 00:15:39,050
I can hate see this.

197
00:15:39,050 --> 00:15:42,290
He means a public care regarding the close out of financial and accomplishment report for

198
00:15:42,290 --> 00:15:43,010
the state of minister.

199
00:15:43,190 --> 00:15:46,590
Dean Valor-Block grant program funding of the CARES Act for COVID-19.

200
00:15:47,310 --> 00:15:51,310
This is a great example of how the city and school district works together for a better

201
00:15:51,310 --> 00:15:52,630
of our community.

202
00:15:52,630 --> 00:15:58,750
So we have representatives here this evening to provide a brief presentation before we open the public hearing.

203
00:15:59,390 --> 00:16:00,770
Thank you very much.

204
00:16:01,410 --> 00:16:08,330
Thank you for meeting Mayor Valeseo, Mayor Potem via Hasey, members of the city council, city manager Craig, and community members.

205
00:16:08,610 --> 00:16:14,350
My name is Phoebe John, I'm the assistant superintendent of Educational Services for Winchers Joint Unified School District.

206
00:16:15,010 --> 00:16:21,310
Thank you for the opportunity to share a brief update and close out summary of the community development block grant or CDBG,

207
00:16:21,310 --> 00:16:24,090
made possible through the Federal 2020 CARES Act.

208
00:16:24,490 --> 00:16:29,470
In November 2023, the City of Winters entered into a subversive agreement with Winters

209
00:16:29,470 --> 00:16:34,030
J.S.D. to administer these grant funds, with the purpose of addressing the lining loss

210
00:16:34,030 --> 00:16:39,850
and academic inequities that were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for

211
00:16:39,850 --> 00:16:44,750
students most adversely impacted, including English learners, classroom youth, students

212
00:16:44,750 --> 00:16:47,150
of color, and socioeconomically disadvantaged children.

213
00:16:47,150 --> 00:16:53,750
Through this partnership, the district implemented targeted supports from November 2023 through March 2025,

214
00:16:54,370 --> 00:16:59,930
you're proposing the balance of the CDBG grant funds in the amount of $312,213.

215
00:17:00,850 --> 00:17:05,170
These funds directly supported students around the country and surely around the

216
00:17:05,170 --> 00:17:09,610
intermediate school through counseling services delivered under a multi-tiered system of support.

217
00:17:09,610 --> 00:17:13,750
Out of the country, this investment contributed to notable gains.

218
00:17:14,350 --> 00:17:20,210
In 2324, we saw a 19-point increase in students performing at or above grade level in reading

219
00:17:20,210 --> 00:17:25,070
a map on benchmark assessments and a significant reduction in the number of students performing

220
00:17:25,070 --> 00:17:26,210
further at grade level.

221
00:17:26,530 --> 00:17:32,770
This growth continued in 2425 with a 24-point gain in reading proficiency and 17-point gain

222
00:17:32,770 --> 00:17:33,250
in math.

223
00:17:33,250 --> 00:17:38,510
At Shoreland, Georgia, in 2425, data showed that students improved significantly.

224
00:17:39,010 --> 00:17:44,170
Greater level of proficiency was by 18% in reading and 26% in mathematics on internal

225
00:17:44,170 --> 00:17:45,050
diagnostics.

226
00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:49,170
All the percentage of students performing two or more years below a level drop by 16 and

227
00:17:49,170 --> 00:17:50,510
18% respectively.

228
00:17:51,090 --> 00:17:56,070
These outcomes highlight how targeted support services and academic interventions can meaningfully

229
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:59,490
reduce learning gaps and create more equitable environments for students.

230
00:17:59,490 --> 00:18:05,470
In addition to counseling, CBBG fans supported work performed by our parent engagement coordinators

231
00:18:05,470 --> 00:18:07,430
up at the elementary and secondary levels.

232
00:18:08,170 --> 00:18:12,510
At the pre-K 5th level, key accomplishments included launching a preschool parent advisory

233
00:18:12,510 --> 00:18:17,350
committee or PAC, improving early literacy efforts and expanding engagement with multilingual

234
00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:17,930
families.

235
00:18:18,730 --> 00:18:23,690
At the grade 6 through 12 level, the coordinator led a student attendance campaign that helped

236
00:18:23,690 --> 00:18:29,250
to reduce chronic absenteeism by 2.1% and also some increases in family participation.

237
00:18:29,810 --> 00:18:35,850
4% low families engage through a communication platform and 7% rise in climate survey responses.

238
00:18:36,550 --> 00:18:40,230
These all come to reflect the impact of our minimum of the funding with our shared goals,

239
00:18:40,750 --> 00:18:44,810
ensuring our students recover from the academic and social and emotional impacts of the pandemic,

240
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:49,270
and that families, particularly those historically underserved, feel empowered as partners

241
00:18:49,270 --> 00:18:49,890
in education.

242
00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:58,430
on behalf of the District, I want to thank the City of Winters for their partnership and for your continued investment in the well-being and academic success of our youth.

243
00:18:58,930 --> 00:19:00,550
Thank you, and I'm happy to respond to any questions.

244
00:19:03,670 --> 00:19:04,450
Do we have any questions?

245
00:19:06,670 --> 00:19:10,590
It's good to see so much progress and many making a difference.

246
00:19:11,130 --> 00:19:11,530
Thank you.

247
00:19:11,970 --> 00:19:14,030
Thank you. I would just echo our statements.

248
00:19:14,210 --> 00:19:16,790
I really appreciate the work that you've done.

249
00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:17,810
Thank you.

250
00:19:20,540 --> 00:19:24,880
I would have said the same thing, I was going to wait until after we had the public hearing,

251
00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:29,580
but I just want to echo out, I'm glad to see there, but these monies that were available

252
00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:35,700
were used well, and we had some, so the students able to get back some of the loss they had

253
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:38,860
in learning during the COVID period, so great, good job.

254
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,040
Well, with that, I will open the public hearing,

255
00:19:47,030 --> 00:19:48,750
or any public comments.

256
00:19:58,020 --> 00:19:59,080
And we're going to hook it.

257
00:20:00,750 --> 00:20:01,990
Nobody out there?

258
00:20:04,270 --> 00:20:08,670
All right, if there are no public comments, I will close the public hearing.

259
00:20:10,750 --> 00:20:11,410
Thank you.

260
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:24,860
We have motion. To meet a motion, I would like to make the motion too and see if I could find it.

261
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:37,140
to accept the closed out financial and accomplishment report for CDBG money and accept the resolution

262
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:41,200
25-31 CDBG.

263
00:20:42,260 --> 00:20:43,220
Thank you.

264
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:44,680
Second.

265
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:46,100
Okay.

266
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:50,940
We have motion from Council Member Lauren, second from Council Member Cassavec here.

267
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,360
May I have a vote please?

268
00:20:55,360 --> 00:21:02,600
of long favour please say aye aye aye all opposed passes unanimously thank you

269
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:11,040

270
00:21:13,630 --> 00:21:17,150
regularly scheduled presentation

271
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:19,740
thank

272
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,780
you my first presentation this evening is an update from waste management I

273
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:38,280
get

274
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:38,840
Welcome.

275
00:21:39,380 --> 00:21:40,080
Thank you.

276
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:40,880
Good evening, Mayor.

277
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:41,820
Thank you, Councilor.

278
00:21:41,820 --> 00:21:45,000
My name is Joe Kotelago, and I'm with Weiss Management, or WM.

279
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:51,060
One of our updates is that we've branded recently, so we're WM, but so go by the Weiss Management

280
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:52,280
for most purposes.

281
00:21:54,060 --> 00:22:00,200
Here to see me to provide an update on several items that we've been up to since the very last

282
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,310
time we've probably had a presentation, which I'm not sure when that was, but we have a whole

283
00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:09,670
team now. A lot of different things that have happened since the last time, so I want

284
00:22:09,670 --> 00:22:14,690
to give an overview of what our site has been doing and how it benefits the city of

285
00:22:14,690 --> 00:22:17,830
Winters. Is this the answer for the move forward?

286
00:22:47,270 --> 00:22:53,490
All right. So the first, first and foremost, is the people. So as I mentioned, we've changed

287
00:22:53,490 --> 00:22:58,230
out our entire team over the past year and a half. I've been with a company 14 years

288
00:22:58,230 --> 00:23:04,270
and mostly serve rural and small cities in terms of contract management and services and the

289
00:23:04,270 --> 00:23:09,910
programs that we have. I'm in the Women's Office for a time, I also help out in Sacramento

290
00:23:09,910 --> 00:23:16,010
area for their contracts as well, but Women is my home base for my team, for recycled

291
00:23:16,010 --> 00:23:18,290
coordinators, and then the operational team as well.

292
00:23:20,610 --> 00:23:23,930
So for our leadership team Eric Linch,

293
00:23:23,930 --> 00:23:30,130
she's our Director of Public Sector Solutions, so he's part of our term market area for all

294
00:23:30,130 --> 00:23:36,370
contract management. So he negotiates along with the individual managers in each area for all

295
00:23:36,370 --> 00:23:44,770
contracts. Myself, I'm the day-to-day person for all things WM for services, contracts, items,

296
00:23:45,030 --> 00:23:52,110
programs, new services, current service, older services. David Joyner, he is new to our team,

297
00:23:52,350 --> 00:23:57,690
he has a strong background in logistics and transportation. He oversees the entire operations

298
00:23:57,690 --> 00:24:04,210
team, so that includes the route managers, the fleet department, the operations specialist,

299
00:24:05,290 --> 00:24:10,190
and Ryan Maduro is our senior fleet manager, and so he's specifically in charge of our

300
00:24:10,190 --> 00:24:16,350
fleet making sure the trucks are on the road on time every single day in proper working

301
00:24:16,350 --> 00:24:16,590
order.

302
00:24:18,070 --> 00:24:23,110
We're also supportive of our communications team and our recycling education team, and this

303
00:24:23,110 --> 00:24:29,670
really important component to new addition to our team. Communications and our assigned coordinator,

304
00:24:30,010 --> 00:24:37,630
they go hand in hand with what we call our public sector team. So Ed, Barga, and Diane, Cesario,

305
00:24:37,970 --> 00:24:43,430
they are our communications professionals. So they help us out with all of our messaging,

306
00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:50,250
their own search, any kind of outreach, community outreach, signage, your name it. So any kind of marquee,

307
00:24:50,250 --> 00:24:54,510
material, and you kind of support that's needed for us in our community there

308
00:24:54,510 --> 00:24:59,690
there for us to help us out. They've come to our side on a regular basis to check in on how things are going.

309
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:29,980
So, we have three recycle coordinators, which are new, and this is really important for us because, in previous years, we didn't have a steady recycling coordinating team. And, for we have three contracts in Yolk County that require a designated recycle coordinator for their contract. So, West Sacramento, Yolk County, and Woodland, all now require, that's, that's, that's the

310
00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:35,780
their own recycle coordinator. The benefit to winters with those changes is that all three

311
00:25:35,780 --> 00:25:40,900
of those recycle coordinators will also be available to help out winters for other recycling

312
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:41,920
education initiatives.

313
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:51,480
So, Ben, he's a person for West Sacramento. Mia is for City of Wildland.

314
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,320
She was born and raised in City of Wildland and she was working in the City of Wildland in the

315
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:03,300
community resources department and Carla just started this week, so today was her second

316
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:08,400
day. She was also born and raised in Berlin and was born and raised on the farm mountain

317
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:13,360
yellow county. So she knows the area well so we're really happy to have some experts that

318
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:20,740
know our community backwards and forwards to help us out with our recycling. We also have

319
00:26:20,740 --> 00:26:26,380
operational support, so our operational managers Bella and Glacias, she was our former

320
00:26:26,380 --> 00:26:30,740
a recycle coordinator for the entire area, when we only had one, and then Deontay Williams

321
00:26:30,740 --> 00:26:37,260
he's achieved and Bill is primarily over all about commercial business for the entire

322
00:26:37,260 --> 00:26:37,640
county.

323
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:44,460
Deontay is our roll-off and container delivery manager, Jess is for residential and then

324
00:26:44,460 --> 00:26:48,500
we have a brand new operations manager named Jerry, but he's so brand new we don't have a

325
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:55,020
photo form yet, but he is a backup operations manager and this is really unique to our area

326
00:26:55,020 --> 00:26:58,780
and Yellow County, most second-second Sacramento, even when we only have three.

327
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,360
For Yellow County, we have four because we wanted to make sure we had that redundancy

328
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:07,680
and that extra backup in case someone goes on vacation, gets sick, gets pulled away for

329
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:13,700
something else that we always have one operations manager for residential, roll-off, and commercial.

330
00:27:15,870 --> 00:27:20,470
So we have been working on a number of items recently, I say over the past year and a half.

331
00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:25,070
And most of our operational improvements have been because of our contract negotiations

332
00:27:25,070 --> 00:27:32,570
and eventual successful vote in Brooklyn where we had several performance issues that were occurring in the city.

333
00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:43,870
So those were identified through a very rigorous performance review and there were six months of this review and then there were six months of negotiations to get to a vote.

334
00:27:44,530 --> 00:27:52,970
So the items that we were working on there, and I bring these up because they are also, because it's the same operations that serve as a city of winters.

335
00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:58,210
We had some issues where we'll all turn around time, which means that the big dumpsters

336
00:27:58,210 --> 00:28:03,030
we they were taking a while to get out to the customer longer than what's what we call standard

337
00:28:04,110 --> 00:28:09,510
customer service we heard loud and clear we hear it everywhere we go local customer service is

338
00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:14,410
really really important so what we've done is we brought in two local customer service representatives

339
00:28:14,410 --> 00:28:20,710
for the city of London contract they are now taking calls for the city of London and that will

340
00:28:20,710 --> 00:28:25,570
will help alleviate the other customer service calls that go to a different, to a more

341
00:28:25,570 --> 00:28:30,290
regional center. But we are also talking to other cities that also have interest in

342
00:28:30,290 --> 00:28:36,250
bringing back local customer service. Street sweepers, the street sweepers, we're having

343
00:28:36,250 --> 00:28:40,810
some issues in the city of buildings. Those are going to, we are going to be internalizing

344
00:28:40,810 --> 00:28:46,330
the street sweepers in the city of Willand, starting in September. That will impact the city

345
00:28:46,330 --> 00:28:51,770
winters, it will be the same company going forward. So we haven't been identified

346
00:28:51,770 --> 00:28:58,390
of any issues in winters than some liners things that have come up but that was a big

347
00:28:58,390 --> 00:29:04,610
change for the city of Bullen. They wanted to swap out the streets. The residential

348
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:09,130
commercial smart chart program, that's the contamination and overage program, that was something

349
00:29:09,130 --> 00:29:13,810
that we've been working on. That's also something we want to work on in here in the city of

350
00:29:13,810 --> 00:29:23,970
I was taken a look at the program just recently and there are some improvements that I identified

351
00:29:23,970 --> 00:29:30,090
that I think we can do and that don't need a whole lot of work and discussion but it's

352
00:29:30,090 --> 00:29:35,410
an easy fix is there. We had some issues with incomplete routes and that was part of having

353
00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:40,970
enough people enough drivers that could finish a route in a day. There were some operational

354
00:29:40,970 --> 00:29:49,390
issues where we were having where they weren't getting the trucks weren't getting out to the landfill to dump their material in time, or we were up against the clock in terms of getting the material out.

355
00:29:50,090 --> 00:29:59,150
So that's what we did there is we hired more drivers, we divided up the routes a little more, did rebalancing, and now we were able to finish the routes on time.

356
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:05,840
So, new trucks, we got lovely trucks delivered, we had more coming last year, we had more coming

357
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:11,500
in in Q1, and then we're constantly having, checking on the inventory and for cards and

358
00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:15,860
bins to make sure that those are replenished on a timely basis, and we're never in a position

359
00:30:15,860 --> 00:30:20,480
where we're short on those things. And again, we're fairly staff now, so we have a fully

360
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,660
staffed operational team and customer service team, recycle team, so we're pretty happy

361
00:30:25,660 --> 00:30:28,120
about having a full team at this point.

362
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,840
So a few stats.

363
00:30:33,580 --> 00:30:36,620
So now with all the new technology that we have available

364
00:30:36,620 --> 00:30:39,600
with data tracking and the technology is on the trucks

365
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,780
and that we have to monitor customer service,

366
00:30:42,180 --> 00:30:45,820
we can really drill into some of the fine points of the data

367
00:30:45,820 --> 00:30:49,300
where we can look for areas that we need to get better on

368
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:51,900
and other places where we're doing pretty good

369
00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:53,620
and we can highlight some of those.

370
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,600
So all customers here to date, so these are statistics

371
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:02,040
for the entire what we call the business unit that services every city in

372
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:07,480
area in Yolo County but 98% 98.2% of our customers receive service on a

373
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:14,980
correct day 99.7 of the residential and 99.23 are receiving it on the

374
00:31:14,980 --> 00:31:18,820
correct day and we have very low rates of miss pickups miss pickups is a

375
00:31:18,820 --> 00:31:24,200
very it's a key indicator of how service is doing so miss pickups could

376
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:31,320
to happen if a driver is not finishing the route, taking a short cut, not staying on track,

377
00:31:32,420 --> 00:31:36,820
maybe they're just missing it for they have bad data on their computers and the truck,

378
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,020
but miss pickups is a very key indicator of how we're doing.

379
00:31:40,220 --> 00:31:44,620
So we're pretty proud of how low that number is, but that's something we track every day.

380
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:50,580
And then we also track how we, for new customers in terms of how they are being onboarded,

381
00:31:50,580 --> 00:31:53,540
in terms of getting the containers delivered on time

382
00:31:53,540 --> 00:31:55,100
when they call in, set up a service,

383
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,400
and then their first 100 days, do they call in

384
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,640
for a service issue?

385
00:32:00,860 --> 00:32:01,940
Do they have a price concern?

386
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,480
Have they had any issues with the customer service team?

387
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,240
So we track a lot of that data over the first 100 days

388
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,740
and ongoing, but we really particularly pay attention

389
00:32:10,740 --> 00:32:12,600
to that first 100 days because that's really important.

390
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,880
So in red there, I put that we had 8.1% of our customers

391
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,440
year to date, I've had a question about, in that first 100 days about service or billing,

392
00:32:22,820 --> 00:32:27,920
they used to be much higher, so we're working on getting that 8.1% down to much lower

393
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,420
level, but that's an area improvement that we've had, but we still have a little ways to

394
00:32:32,420 --> 00:32:32,820
go on that.

395
00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:42,710
Another key indicator is that we call code reds or escalated issues. So code

396
00:32:42,710 --> 00:32:47,950
reds are any time a customer calls in or emails or sends in a chat that says, you know, you

397
00:32:47,950 --> 00:32:52,510
this might pick up or there's some kind of issue and then they call in a second time and

398
00:32:52,510 --> 00:32:56,830
they have the same issue. That's immediately what's called a code red for us and so a code

399
00:32:56,830 --> 00:33:01,630
red goes to operations directors and they immediately address those issues. So it's

400
00:33:01,630 --> 00:33:05,850
really important that we identify those quickly and then we close them out as quickly as possible

401
00:33:05,850 --> 00:33:11,930
so that the customer is not having to call in a third time. So we've had some great improvement

402
00:33:11,930 --> 00:33:19,030
with the code reds in terms of resolving the cases and then closing them out within less than two days.

403
00:33:19,890 --> 00:33:27,330
So that's something that we've really strived to work on where it was a year ago was not the case.

404
00:33:27,430 --> 00:33:33,390
We were having really struggling with closing out and resolving issues where customers are continuously calling in.

405
00:33:33,970 --> 00:33:39,870
A lot of that is just having that detail and that the right people in the right positions to close up the cases

406
00:33:39,870 --> 00:33:43,790
and resolve the customer issues as quickly and as officially as possible.

407
00:33:45,850 --> 00:33:51,790
So we also opened up our office. So over the past two years or so we've had the office

408
00:33:51,790 --> 00:33:58,190
closed under construction, a complete remodel. The site was kind of bad shape.

409
00:33:58,590 --> 00:34:02,950
A lot of things were neglected on it but there was two phases of construction.

410
00:34:03,290 --> 00:34:09,130
The first phase was done in January and all that was done in January.

411
00:34:09,130 --> 00:34:15,270
Now we're just professionalizing it, putting in the, you know, putting in the cubicles,

412
00:34:15,550 --> 00:34:21,570
really making it a nice place to work for the staff and the customers when they come

413
00:34:21,570 --> 00:34:25,150
in to pay their bills or talk with anybody there.

414
00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:31,230
We're also repaving all the payment and also putting in a new parking lot for customers because

415
00:34:31,230 --> 00:34:36,130
right now it's not the greatest situation for customers to park so we're putting in a parking

416
00:34:36,130 --> 00:34:36,830
lot there as well.

417
00:34:36,830 --> 00:34:46,560
So last November, we announced that we had a major grant, what we call grant reopening

418
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,180
for our recycling facility.

419
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:53,120
All of the winners recycling in this community goes to this facility in Sacramento.

420
00:34:53,220 --> 00:34:55,640
It's our transfer and recycling facility of the Murph.

421
00:34:57,020 --> 00:34:59,640
And this was a major deal because we had closed it.

422
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,180
We're going down for two years and diverted all the recycling facilities. In the meantime, because

423
00:35:07,180 --> 00:35:12,200
of all the new technology going in and on the investment, we've been able to extrapolate

424
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:18,560
more recyclables out of the material stream, which is really neat. So we had this big event

425
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:25,280
back in November, so this was an overall $30 million investment that goes back into the facility

426
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:30,160
and benefits all of our customers. So this facility, so this is all the

427
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,940
customers that we have in Yolo County, Sacramento County, some up in

428
00:35:33,940 --> 00:35:38,700
Buick County, and some in San Joaquin County. So they all bring them recyclables

429
00:35:38,700 --> 00:35:46,000
there, and we process them and take them out to market for sorting. There is

430
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,380
16 new optical sodas, that's the biggest piece of the technology that's in

431
00:35:50,380 --> 00:35:55,220
this in this murk. So what that does now is it can identify all the these

432
00:35:55,220 --> 00:36:00,420
new materials that we want to collect and process, and you can find them within an

433
00:36:00,420 --> 00:36:02,420
hour, second of a coming across the belt.

434
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,660
So that's increased our amount of recyclables that we can collect and process on a daily

435
00:36:09,180 --> 00:36:10,100
monthly basis.

436
00:36:14,060 --> 00:36:19,500
So in additional monthly capacity, we can take in about 2,900 more tons, under 21,000 more

437
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:25,200
per year, and those are the jurisdictions that we service that bring the recyclables there.

438
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,800
So, with that, I do want to say the recycling facility is open for tours.

439
00:36:30,340 --> 00:36:35,620
I'm happy to, I just glad you guys went to Recology Tour, we love to have the Council

440
00:36:35,620 --> 00:36:39,500
out for, you know, at your convenience to come out and do a tour of our facility so you

441
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:43,880
can see where all your material goes and how it's processed and answer any questions that

442
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:44,160
you have.

443
00:36:44,740 --> 00:36:49,640
We're also working on some square field trips ideas to bring kids out to the facility.

444
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:55,960
So, kind of talking to some ideas about how we get students from this area out to that facility.

445
00:36:56,460 --> 00:37:01,540
But we have some ideas we're kind of thinking through, but that's something we want to put out there as an idea.

446
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,600
Again, tours were a little bit public. That was when the city of Woodland came by and did their tour.

447
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,680
And then one thing I'm working on with the school districts.

448
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:18,080
The school district reached out to us recently and discussed about the need for

449
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,620
We're setting up a school recycling program for the ANX and the food waste.

450
00:37:22,420 --> 00:37:27,940
So we met and we discussed that we're going to bring out our recycling coordinators.

451
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:32,660
They've got a good plan that they're working on setting up a program.

452
00:37:32,980 --> 00:37:40,320
So this was a program that we set up in most school districts and what we do is we help

453
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:46,300
do the training, we do the initial outreach and then we stay on top of it during the

454
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:51,140
length of the program with coordination with the folks that are on the ground at the school.

455
00:37:51,380 --> 00:37:58,100
So we did meet with Carla Warden, we met with a couple other people from the school district

456
00:37:58,100 --> 00:38:04,140
in terms of the janitorial staff and then also the food service vendors.

457
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,100
So we had all the other people in the room to talk about what was needed.

458
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:13,840
So the next step is we're going to go on to a site visit, determine where we can put

459
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,800
in the food service program for organics, and all at the same time keeping the cost

460
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:23,880
low over the lower, that's the goal is because if you're recycling more and you have more

461
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:29,540
recycling, the trash will go lower, and then that will help increase or decrease the trash

462
00:38:29,540 --> 00:38:29,720
bill.

463
00:38:30,020 --> 00:38:35,540
So, where I talked this through, but then the goal is to have this program implemented in

464
00:38:35,540 --> 00:38:39,120
the fall, and then do the training for all the staff during the summertime.

465
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,700
time. So that's our next steps with the school district there.

466
00:38:45,980 --> 00:38:47,300
So the last slide I want

467
00:38:47,300 --> 00:38:54,680
to talk about community engagement. So a big piece of our bringing back community engagement

468
00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:01,640
customer service, re-engaging with our community is really important because we also have a new

469
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:07,000
area of vice president, our previous one lived in Reno. So he was really disconnected. Our new

470
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:19,220
He has a good support system for us to be out in the community and that includes community

471
00:39:19,220 --> 00:39:21,240
donations, sponsorships, those types of things.

472
00:39:22,060 --> 00:39:27,480
So we will continue to support the donations and sponsorships requests that we get in.

473
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:34,960
A lot of opportunities there and a lot of great organizations that we love supporting.

474
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:40,280
And I want to believe it was quote because we just finished, as I mentioned, our negotiation

475
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:45,840
with the city of Wilman, which is now going to be a 10 to 15-year agreement, and with

476
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:52,860
that Councilmember Starr met with myself and our everybody's president a year ago and

477
00:39:52,860 --> 00:39:53,880
he said, where have you guys been?

478
00:39:54,700 --> 00:39:57,000
And so that was the big theme as you guys have been out.

479
00:39:57,500 --> 00:39:58,820
You know, we haven't seen you guys

480
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:28,860
That's sort of thing. So that was a tough conversation, a tough meeting over the past year. We turned it around, and we got the deal done, and he's saying, congratulations, where's the cake. We have a lot of work to do in Williams, but I think with all the improvements that we've had, they're all going to benefit the City of Winters as well because City of Williams done all the hard work, getting all the performance measures in place. They're all going to benefit all everyone else. So that's my update.

481
00:40:28,860 --> 00:40:30,780
Okay, so any questions, sir?

482
00:40:32,140 --> 00:40:32,820
Yeah, I'll be able to take them.

483
00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:34,840
I have a couple of things.

484
00:40:35,380 --> 00:40:41,360
I'm curious about the smart trucks and the contamination and the fees that have been applied

485
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:42,540
to customer accounts.

486
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:43,860
What's kind of the...

487
00:40:44,740 --> 00:40:45,000
Is that...

488
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:51,260
The high numbers are people responding and not contaminating on and on and on.

489
00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:55,760
Yes, I would say the contamination has gotten better.

490
00:40:56,240 --> 00:40:59,220
There are some ways we can improve it a little bit more.

491
00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:05,880
I think with the way that the program set up now, on residential side, there's only one

492
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,880
notification that goes up before my charges, most of these have two.

493
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,220
So that was one thing where I want to change it to two warnings.

494
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:19,860
So they have one more notification, a little more time to change the task questions on what's

495
00:41:19,860 --> 00:41:23,180
the proper way to recycle before that charge hits.

496
00:41:23,180 --> 00:41:30,400
I think the chart itself needs to also be looked at, again, this is a program I was put back in 2017-18.

497
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,440
On the commercial side, I think it needs to be, there are some changes that are going to be happening there too.

498
00:41:34,740 --> 00:41:40,200
But by that large, we haven't seen the reports that I get as Winters is doing a really good job.

499
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:48,520
But traditionally, members on trash versus tons of recycling and green waste have never been

500
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:54,960
all that great, because people aren't recycling and doing mechanics as much as they could

501
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:55,220
be.

502
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,280
Has that got any better or is that?

503
00:41:58,500 --> 00:42:04,900
The industry itself is going back to the basics, that if there's, you know, for decades we've

504
00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:08,860
told everybody, okay, if you're not sure about what to recycle, there's no recycling then

505
00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:13,380
and somehow to go to a magical place or someone will sort it out and they'll get done, right?

506
00:42:13,980 --> 00:42:18,920
But that's not the case anymore because of international constraints and everything else.

507
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:24,720
So we are looking, race management does a really good job of finding domestic markets for the material

508
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:30,480
and when we can do that, it's easier to tell the customers, we do want just to go back to the basics

509
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,440
because we can't accept, there's so many things we can't accept anymore.

510
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,920
And if we don't have a market for it, there's no one to buy it.

511
00:42:39,020 --> 00:42:44,440
So in some cases, in past years, we've stocked out all the paper, we've had paper bales

512
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,540
set up because the paper had no value to it, so we couldn't move it.

513
00:42:48,860 --> 00:42:52,660
And in some other cases, things move a lot quicker.

514
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,160
So they were trying to, what the whole industry is working on is getting back to the basics

515
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:01,120
of like the four core or five core materials, but that's going to take time.

516
00:43:11,180 --> 00:43:19,060
Thank you so much for being here. I really appreciate it. And for all your support in the community. I just had a couple questions.

517
00:43:19,060 --> 00:43:21,140
As a city

518
00:43:23,410 --> 00:43:29,670
council member, Sienna asked about smart trucks and fees, and I was just wondering

519
00:43:30,110 --> 00:43:36,810
and you said that you do two warnings now. I was wondering how that works with the organics

520
00:43:37,490 --> 00:43:43,090
for restaurants. I know this says I just combine two questions. Anyway,

521
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,720
how are organics mainly

522
00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:54,320
working in restaurants like the green pickup. We've had some conversations about it before,

523
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:03,100
having hot days, lots of green waste, and just wanting a frequency. How is that working?

524
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:10,400
Yeah, the organics have to be like that once a week, on a minimum.

525
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:17,040
There are, with the organics, typically we'll pick them up on, if there's two days that

526
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,980
we're out doing the organics pick up, it's better for restaurants to have it done on

527
00:44:20,980 --> 00:44:25,220
Monday and Friday, so they get ready for the weekend, and then they also don't have it

528
00:44:25,220 --> 00:44:29,500
sitting, or give it other material after the weekend's over, if weekends are busier.

529
00:44:30,140 --> 00:44:34,020
So Fridays and Mondays typically are the days where we'll pick up organics from restaurants

530
00:44:34,020 --> 00:44:38,400
that seems, that seems to be the consensus from the restaurants that we hear from at

531
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:44,600
preference. I guess part of my question which is associated to Cal's, but I can figure

532
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:51,400
out how to say it was, do you are we measuring that we're processing the water, or is it the

533
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:58,140
same, you know, green waste from restaurants, is it picking up the same amount? I can get back

534
00:44:58,140 --> 00:44:59,080
back to you on the data.

535
00:45:01,620 --> 00:45:29,940
And then the other one was, I believe that we recycle one through seven? Is that? Yes, that's a good question. So that's when we get a lot of questions about is what's recyclable and you accept it, you know, up and one through sevens. So we will accept all the recycling that comes in. If we can't find a market for it, then we typically will let the jurisdiction know that, you know, the number six right now, number seven, there's no market for it. It's going to go

536
00:45:29,940 --> 00:45:34,640
It's going to end up being process as trash, but we'll still collect it as recyclables.

537
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:37,580
So we're not going to change the message of the customers.

538
00:45:37,780 --> 00:45:39,340
They can still put the one through sevens in there.

539
00:45:39,860 --> 00:45:44,880
And right now, we are still, we do have markets for all through one through sevens, but

540
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:45,580
that they do change.

541
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,240
We let the jurisdictions know that this is not a market for it.

542
00:45:48,820 --> 00:45:49,100
Excellent.

543
00:45:49,500 --> 00:45:56,040
And then you're going to possibly have more robust education in the future on that seems like

544
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,780
people forget what's recycling and they just still have everything in.

545
00:45:58,780 --> 00:46:03,500
Yep, yes, that's that's the plan. So that's that's the plan with a new recycling team

546
00:46:04,020 --> 00:46:06,140
Is is a more robust recycling

547
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:12,060
Education as part of that just kind of going back to the basics and reinforcing what we know and then

548
00:46:12,060 --> 00:46:16,760
Getting that that trash out of the recycling is is really important. Thank you, too

549
00:46:19,950 --> 00:46:23,430
Yeah, thank you for that presentation. I had a question on

550
00:46:23,430 --> 00:46:28,650
You mentioned one of your statistics. I was about 8% of the new customers that call with

551
00:46:28,650 --> 00:46:35,050
questions within the first hundred days? What kind of information do you pass out to them when they set up a new account?

552
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:42,930
So it could be the last I could when you know how I set up an online online account or when can I you know

553
00:46:42,930 --> 00:46:47,330
Do you have chat feature or can I what are different ways I can pay so if it's a billing question

554
00:46:47,330 --> 00:46:49,190
I will get lumped into that kind of question

555
00:46:49,190 --> 00:46:50,830
That's honestly a complaint

556
00:46:51,730 --> 00:46:57,790
Section but it's just anybody that inquires about a billing or a pricing question during this person

557
00:46:57,790 --> 00:47:02,250
Yeah, I'm not picking necessarily about complaints, but about, like, do you give them a schedule

558
00:47:02,250 --> 00:47:06,730
when their pickups are, do you tell them, you know, what can go on the recycle bins?

559
00:47:06,910 --> 00:47:09,730
Do you send them out a packet in the mail, or what do you do?

560
00:47:09,810 --> 00:47:15,890
Yeah, so when they do set up a service, the customer service agent, so there's a system we use

561
00:47:15,890 --> 00:47:22,330
that it's kind of like a Google for that particular city of all the services and what's provided.

562
00:47:22,550 --> 00:47:26,630
So when a customer does call in to set up a service, the customer service agent will be able

563
00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:37,410
to look at the screens, okay, you know, these are the days that you can be serviced, these are the rates, these are the public education, so a little, any type, anything that's loaded into the system as a PDF or any kind of outreach.

564
00:47:38,030 --> 00:47:42,290
Then they get sent off to the customer for a schedule or anything else.

565
00:47:42,490 --> 00:47:51,150
Because I've had me neighbors in my area that moved down and they say, hey, where did they pick up, you know, my garbage, what day of the week is it?

566
00:47:51,150 --> 00:47:55,430
And then there's been schedules here in City Hall, and I was able to come and get one, see how very you want.

567
00:47:55,970 --> 00:48:00,910
So I was just curious what's provided to them, and you know, when they put their containers out,

568
00:48:01,690 --> 00:48:05,150
I literally required to put them back in, and it was sort of not a time, that type of thing,

569
00:48:05,690 --> 00:48:08,150
try to educate the new people that are coming in.

570
00:48:08,690 --> 00:48:14,030
I'll make note of that, and I'll check our system and just underscore some of that information that,

571
00:48:14,890 --> 00:48:18,850
you know, because we have a part of that when they first look into the set up,

572
00:48:18,850 --> 00:48:24,230
It's called call handling instructions, so that's the immediate thing where they say okay

573
00:48:24,230 --> 00:48:27,990
This is what they need to know. Okay, so I'll make sure that's all on there. Thank you

574
00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:35,170
I said one quick question. Do you have for no what percentage of customers are utilizing the bulky pickup?

575
00:48:36,570 --> 00:48:39,070
Um, I can I can't find out for you. Yeah

576
00:48:40,230 --> 00:48:44,090
Yeah, what was your question? I didn't hear it very well. What percentage of the

577
00:48:44,770 --> 00:48:46,710
Customers are utilizing the bulky pickup program?

578
00:48:48,030 --> 00:48:54,970
it's typically low in every city yeah yeah it's not a service that's used a lot

579
00:48:54,970 --> 00:49:01,450
so the customers I do use it will use it on a regular basis but but it's not a

580
00:49:01,450 --> 00:49:09,370
huge it's not it's something that pays for but not everybody uses yeah thank

581
00:49:09,370 --> 00:49:14,930
you for being here in your presentation with this kind of new I guess

582
00:49:14,930 --> 00:49:22,430
remodeling of your branch with OMB improvements made to phone service. Yes, because as we see it

583
00:49:22,430 --> 00:49:27,990
complaints of people trying to remedy problems by the phone and either they get somebody and

584
00:49:28,630 --> 00:49:35,590
somewhere else, or they don't get anybody. Yes, so local customer service is a big deal. So

585
00:49:35,970 --> 00:49:42,110
they mentioned we city willing required for that particular deal to have two local customer

586
00:49:42,110 --> 00:49:47,350
service agents. So they only take City of Woodland calls and if they have backup, if they

587
00:49:47,350 --> 00:49:52,550
have time, then they'll take a yellow collar or a winter's collar first and then they'll

588
00:49:52,550 --> 00:49:59,690
take other other calls. They will see that more and more. So on the phones, we are...

589
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:29,860
There is a large segment segment of the customer base that wants to do online service or self service on an app, which is also very new to a lot of customers. And we're for the customers that want that feature, so we help them out and how to navigate that. But we'll still always have the phone as an option. But we're also working on getting those local customer service agents familiar with the area so that they're not confused with some other area either. But there is a there is a phone tree on there.

590
00:50:29,860 --> 00:50:42,740
but there's also the technology in there where it can move to a live person quicker or the self-service options, but yes, that's definitely something that we're focused on.

591
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:55,580
Some of that data that we have is called the, what we call abandonment rate, which is the amount of time a customer spends on the phone before they hang up, or the time that it, what we call the average speed to answer.

592
00:50:55,580 --> 00:50:59,640
So how fast do the agents pick up the phone once the customer calls in?

593
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:05,080
So that's all tracked and those are all in the site looks at those numbers on a weekly basis too.

594
00:51:05,940 --> 00:51:06,660
Thank you.

595
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,140
I have a follow-up to your question.

596
00:51:09,540 --> 00:51:13,460
The people that do handle service calls are they bilingual.

597
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,320
We have about 50% spare speakers here.

598
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,700
So it's just wondering if you have a bilingual program?

599
00:51:20,220 --> 00:51:23,100
The two that we hired for will the NAR. That was a requirement.

600
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:32,120
The recycle representatives, we all deal with customer service first, two of the recycle

601
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:38,240
corneas that we hired are both bilingual also, so if we need a site visit or someone

602
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:43,080
to come out to do a visit with a customer and they only speak Spanish then they won't

603
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,060
call Carla or me to come out.

604
00:51:48,230 --> 00:51:50,720
Any additional questions from here?

605
00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:53,180
Are there any questions from the public?

606
00:52:01,420 --> 00:52:05,100
Could you step up to the mic and tell us who you are?

607
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,200
I'm using my address for the second round of the mosquito metric control district.

608
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,960
I have a presentation that's next and we have a little bus score program.

609
00:52:13,460 --> 00:52:16,740
So since you're trying to enhance your outreach program,

610
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,560
for recently we actually have a mosquito mosquito bus service program for kids.

611
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:28,940
I'd be happy to share my contact information we can maybe collaborate with some strategies for outreach down to the to the kids in the school.

612
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,400
Thank you.

613
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:34,160
Connections.

614
00:52:36,380 --> 00:52:37,340
Was that it?

615
00:52:38,980 --> 00:52:40,320
Thank you very much.

616
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:41,400
Thank you.

617
00:52:43,180 --> 00:52:43,980
All right.

618
00:52:46,660 --> 00:52:47,700
You're up next.

619
00:52:47,860 --> 00:52:52,920
I believe the presentation of the Sacramento, your mosquito, and vector control district.

620
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:52,980
Thank you.

621
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:01,420
I'm looking at you.

622
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:03,880
This is my dear colleague, Roblos.

623
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,240
I'm here to give you guys my annual presentation.

624
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:08,760
Mr. Control, thank you for having me tonight.

625
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:14,880
And I'm so glad I could get a nice duty to serve the board member to our board.

626
00:53:15,620 --> 00:53:19,260
Mr. Gaurt House, here's a virtual representative on our board.

627
00:53:19,740 --> 00:53:22,140
He's a fabulous member and he's always here for me.

628
00:53:22,460 --> 00:53:25,140
And so thank you to him for being here tonight.

629
00:53:25,140 --> 00:53:30,740
So, presentation in the manual presentation, just talking about mishealing is already really

630
00:53:30,740 --> 00:53:31,420
hot today.

631
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:36,700
It was a surprise of how quickly the weather is changing, so mishealing is hot weather.

632
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,000
So, it might be a bit mishealing season, so I would definitely have started.

633
00:53:42,540 --> 00:53:42,760
All right.

634
00:53:42,980 --> 00:53:46,560
So, you know, with the local mishealing control this week, it's hard with protecting you

635
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,220
rather than seeing mishealing and mishealing in diseases.

636
00:53:49,900 --> 00:53:54,020
What's not special talk about a little bit later, it's prevalent in our area, but now

637
00:53:54,020 --> 00:53:58,200
we have some new diseases that we should be concerned about, dengue p, which specifically,

638
00:53:58,780 --> 00:54:04,040
we operate with a cap of cap and safety code, again, with our mission that we're taking

639
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,100
for the diseases, mosquitoes, and mosquito transmitted diseases.

640
00:54:08,300 --> 00:54:14,920
So, as I'm assuming is here right now, we have some late-striping vaccines, and obviously some

641
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:19,940
very wild wilds, we're having now that combination provides the mosquito-beating conditions.

642
00:54:19,940 --> 00:54:25,380
It's still trying to tell what kindness is and it's going to be in terms of severity of

643
00:54:25,380 --> 00:54:32,100
less on the virus but based on how hot it is so quickly it just might make for a super-basic

644
00:54:32,100 --> 00:54:32,580
season.

645
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:37,300
You can see all the different sources of hair skin and miscellaneous burglars, there's some

646
00:54:38,220 --> 00:54:44,820
often a lot of technicians fighting on the ground to conduct unsurface inspections but sometimes

647
00:54:44,820 --> 00:54:49,520
there's multiple sources where miscellaneous can breathe and obviously miscellaneous don't

648
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,180
I'm just taking that with me all the way.

649
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,120
So it's difficult, the skills of difficulty control,

650
00:54:54,500 --> 00:54:59,700
the flight, obviously, it's a big issue because you have to model it.

651
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:03,420
All

652
00:55:06,170 --> 00:55:12,150
right. So, the students come from different types of breathing sources, right? I think it feels

653
00:55:12,150 --> 00:55:16,790
with rice fields are, we all know, with creeks and streams and all of the different areas

654
00:55:16,790 --> 00:55:23,770
that make the exception of the small sources in people's bagyards that are the biggest problem. We cannot beat everybody's yard.

655
00:55:24,430 --> 00:55:31,530
We stop people to see if control is a collaborative effort. We depend on people to help us do their part in helping from the skills.

656
00:55:31,530 --> 00:55:37,010
right so at least once we're dumping up those areas of stagnant water that's going to go a long way

657
00:55:37,010 --> 00:55:41,870
it's helping us control mosquitoes right so that plants also that bucket that

658
00:55:41,870 --> 00:55:47,730
don't finish anything holds water with more than a few days capable of reading mosquitoes

659
00:55:47,730 --> 00:55:52,470
I'm pretty surprised at how many people don't know that mosquitoes come from water

660
00:55:52,470 --> 00:55:58,250
you know some people are reading out of our regions and we have a mosquito display

661
00:55:58,250 --> 00:56:04,090
People will see like, oh my goodness, I've seen this in my bucket, I've seen this in my yard,

662
00:56:04,250 --> 00:56:06,410
but I thought that they were fangs or something.

663
00:56:06,650 --> 00:56:08,770
They didn't look like those were large mosquitoes.

664
00:56:09,190 --> 00:56:11,170
That turned into biting a door.

665
00:56:11,470 --> 00:56:13,230
So education is key.

666
00:56:14,270 --> 00:56:18,910
And you just made sure people first understood the mosquito recycle.

667
00:56:19,610 --> 00:56:25,210
And one thing that's also important to note is that mosquitoes can give the recycle faster,

668
00:56:25,210 --> 00:56:31,250
are in warm water. So a mosquito can go up in the 8-2nd of the mosquito in about 7 days.

669
00:56:31,450 --> 00:56:35,330
It's very hot weather like the temperatures that we're having now. And we should think about the fact

670
00:56:35,330 --> 00:56:40,610
that one people mosquito can live between 30 to 200 days at a time, a couple of times a week.

671
00:56:41,070 --> 00:56:44,770
Then that, you know, that just means it makes our problem that much bigger.

672
00:56:45,110 --> 00:56:52,110
So a mosquito is coming different types of habitats in our area. We have about 27 different species

673
00:56:52,110 --> 00:56:56,630
the mischievousness of the craft if at, you know, defensively. So the mischievousness that

674
00:56:56,630 --> 00:57:01,870
you see now on this is one of the ones that you would see in the book. Worldwide, we have

675
00:57:02,390 --> 00:57:10,050
3500 different species of mischievousness. So definitely, we will probably come in contact

676
00:57:10,050 --> 00:57:18,270
with no matter what you travel to. Alright, so we can try mischievousness at the

677
00:57:18,270 --> 00:57:27,030
approach, where public information and education is a workforce that means that here, which is specifically, we do a fair amount of public information and education.

678
00:57:27,510 --> 00:57:34,450
We are always at a youth day, we are at a youth festival, we are often speak to a Q1 group to the World Recruitment.

679
00:57:34,630 --> 00:57:43,550
We provide a pound of mosquito pound wipes, so we do a fair amount of information only here, but just in general, we're going to fight the bike campus, which is actually just starting.

680
00:57:44,630 --> 00:57:50,450
All the great things on television with you reminding people to drain their sight in the water to wear a thousand.

681
00:57:51,030 --> 00:57:55,530
And this is going to get started now, actually, with memorial services we'll go through October.

682
00:57:56,410 --> 00:57:58,950
This is a very robust surveillance program.

683
00:57:59,170 --> 00:58:02,750
So the Victoria Tracks and Hunters were stopped at its activity.

684
00:58:02,950 --> 00:58:06,890
They collected birds and they tested their birds for were stopped at its.

685
00:58:06,890 --> 00:58:10,250
We also set many mosquito traps throughout Sacramento,

686
00:58:10,570 --> 00:58:13,430
you know, county to collect mosquitoes to test them

687
00:58:13,430 --> 00:58:16,650
from us our virus so we know where and how to respond.

688
00:58:18,190 --> 00:58:23,130
So, after they collect the traps, we test those mosquitoes

689
00:58:23,130 --> 00:58:25,850
and if the prince does, if we, if we test mosquitoes,

690
00:58:25,850 --> 00:58:28,910
they're coming from, say, winters and we know

691
00:58:28,910 --> 00:58:31,030
that they're testing positive from us our virus

692
00:58:31,030 --> 00:58:33,790
and that would, you see that, that's what they take,

693
00:58:33,790 --> 00:58:36,690
it's the spreading that we would do with our trucks.

694
00:58:36,990 --> 00:58:38,790
So that would be part of our control operations.

695
00:58:39,350 --> 00:58:42,150
We also have our ecological management department

696
00:58:42,770 --> 00:58:46,130
dealing with homeowners, shopping and how they eat

697
00:58:46,130 --> 00:58:49,050
and reduce mosquito breeding sources around their home.

698
00:58:49,570 --> 00:58:52,030
And of course, our larger control and mosquito fish.

699
00:58:52,630 --> 00:58:55,990
So in the fish, we have 24 pounds and a couple of office

700
00:58:55,990 --> 00:58:58,850
where we wear those mosquito fish, and then they're taken

701
00:58:58,850 --> 00:59:01,990
out to people that have a pound of fountain at home

702
00:59:01,990 --> 00:59:04,930
with the whole straw, we put them in awful rice skittles

703
00:59:04,930 --> 00:59:06,450
throughout the matter.

704
00:59:06,690 --> 00:59:08,970
How many did help us control mosquitoes naturally?

705
00:59:10,190 --> 00:59:12,170
So, with all of these items combined,

706
00:59:12,470 --> 00:59:14,310
I'm going to go ahead and give them a huge reinforcement approach

707
00:59:14,310 --> 00:59:17,030
that's how we keep breaded and safe

708
00:59:17,030 --> 00:59:19,010
against these mosquito-transmitted diseases.

709
00:59:20,350 --> 00:59:22,810
So, with regards to West Overs,

710
00:59:23,010 --> 00:59:25,430
I tell you, last year was actually fairly mildly year

711
00:59:25,430 --> 00:59:27,550
for West Overs especially here in Winters.

712
00:59:28,170 --> 00:59:30,130
We didn't have, actually, your Italian.

713
00:59:30,130 --> 00:59:34,150
So, 6 to 5 ratio samples in Yola County, 6 dead birds.

714
00:59:35,170 --> 00:59:40,450
So, first, the numbers, especially if you consider that last year,

715
00:59:40,550 --> 00:59:41,970
the previous year was a lot more intense.

716
00:59:42,610 --> 00:59:45,010
Second, why do we have powder and twin human cases?

717
00:59:45,830 --> 00:59:47,690
Nineteenth, they tell. These are the West outliers.

718
00:59:48,290 --> 00:59:50,970
So, for a year, we can have very different year.

719
00:59:52,070 --> 00:59:54,650
There's been years on the district for 18 years.

720
00:59:54,850 --> 00:59:58,930
I've seen some years where we've had 800 cases of human cases in the West outliers.

721
00:59:58,930 --> 00:59:59,530
and

722
01:00:06,300 --> 01:00:29,900
All right. So aside from West Nile voters, we have other invasive mosquitoes, which are two different species of mosquitoes. So I have a little 27 species that I mentioned that we have, but then I heard two of them contrite about West Nile voters. And then we have two of them considered invasive. So the eight is a chick-dine mosquito, and the eight is our victims and those are the two you kind of see it with the top. These are aggressive.

723
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,800
And this by the mosquitoes, they're preferred by people.

724
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:39,460
They can be very small sources of water, even a teaspoon of water that we leave in New York.

725
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,520
It's enough to bring these mosquitoes.

726
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:48,400
Last year in California, we started having more travel related cases of this fever,

727
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:53,700
where we all subsided for the first time in 2023, three cases of this fever.

728
01:00:53,700 --> 01:01:00,400
in 18 cases of different local inquiries, which means that people are not necessarily traveling

729
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:04,240
because what happens is, like that says an example, if I travel somewhere,

730
01:01:04,700 --> 01:01:07,360
in fact that it would definitely, if it didn't come back here,

731
01:01:07,860 --> 01:01:09,540
what do you see those bites mean?

732
01:01:09,940 --> 01:01:13,980
And then it's in fact that I'm going to let them bite somebody that not necessarily traveled.

733
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,160
So, these local inquiries cases are taking place.

734
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:25,660
So, I guess, lots of, however many wounds will work in certain, because now there are also

735
01:01:26,660 --> 01:01:31,580
locally acquired cases of Dengue, so it's still toward you to help kind of see that it's

736
01:01:31,580 --> 01:01:37,460
going to be these miscuders are maybe acted enough for, but every year we'll also kind

737
01:01:37,460 --> 01:01:40,220
of find them earlier and earlier in the year as well.

738
01:01:40,540 --> 01:01:46,940
So, in circumstances we have quite a few different communities that have very popular options

739
01:01:46,940 --> 01:01:56,600
of these mosquitoes, it can count the proportion of the winters, leads the cities, we do have them on woodland and in the hills, but not to the extent that we have them in winters.

740
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:07,920
In Sacramento, we do have many areas with these highly infested populations of these mosquitoes.

741
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:14,220
All right, so how we're doing to kind of control in this year's we're actually considering

742
01:02:14,220 --> 01:02:18,880
a few different techniques, we recently got approval from California to use something

743
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:24,820
called sterile insect techniques which basically, these are techniques that have been used

744
01:02:24,820 --> 01:02:30,580
by agriculture in the past, they've been used by other mosquito districts in Florida and

745
01:02:30,580 --> 01:02:35,560
Texas and now you just got approved for use in here in California, so we're considering

746
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:43,260
the use will be called sterile male releases where we would be releasing mosquitoes have been sterilized

747
01:02:43,260 --> 01:02:49,060
with a bacteria called bubacula, that bacteria is actually occurring bacteria in lots of different

748
01:02:49,060 --> 01:02:55,960
insects but not within these two invasive mosquitoes. So what happens is we would have these invasive

749
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:03,420
mosquitoes released and where we have these manifestations of invasive mosquitoes and then those

750
01:03:03,420 --> 01:03:08,160
Those mosquitoes will go back in, made with the wild females, their eggs won't hatch.

751
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:14,100
So basically it's a way of reducing populations of mosquitoes over time by releasing these

752
01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:17,280
sterilized males and the mosquitoes do not bite.

753
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:18,760
So that's the good thing.

754
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:24,880
So it's a way of reducing populations of, and that's what you're not using, like a pesticide

755
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,920
free approach.

756
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:29,340
All right.

757
01:03:29,340 --> 01:03:34,300
So moving forward, you can work exploring the use of these SITs or continue with our outreach

758
01:03:34,300 --> 01:03:40,120
and our outreach efforts. We're going to explore more opportunities. And of course, we're always

759
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:46,160
encouraging the public to report day-by-use mosquitoes to drink themselves to the water and to make sure

760
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:51,020
that they're doing everything that they can to not be brewed mosquitoes in their own backyard.

761
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:56,540
So you can actually see that photo in the pink color. That's actually my mosquito. You can tell

762
01:03:56,540 --> 01:04:01,620
because it has the bushy feathery antenna where the picture at the top that's a female mosquito

763
01:04:01,620 --> 01:04:06,420
probably in somebody's arm the way to bite but you can see that she does not have the

764
01:04:06,420 --> 01:04:09,820
bushy feathery antennae that's how you can tell both of them apart.

765
01:04:10,380 --> 01:04:16,120
It's not usually a lot longer than the males and so you know both

766
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:23,220
it's really see potentially releasing those infected males than the good things that they do not bite.

767
01:04:24,540 --> 01:04:31,160
So with that, thank you guys for your attention for your time, and I'm happy to take any questions that you might have.

768
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:33,280
Do we have any questions?

769
01:04:35,260 --> 01:04:38,000
I'm always happy each year you come out.

770
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,860
But I didn't hear you say chicken guinea this year.

771
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:41,120
Yes.

772
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:43,240
I missed it.

773
01:04:43,740 --> 01:04:47,440
But the thing is, because new speech, some of the skills, definitely transmit

774
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:52,640
Zika, Dekia, Fitchi, and Gunia. But Dengue is the most prevalent and the highest concern.

775
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,100
And while I was paying attention, I didn't know.

776
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,680
I didn't know that the males didn't buy it, so thank you for...

777
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,260
Madam, how about information? Yes, all right. Thank you. So much. You're welcome.

778
01:05:05,550 --> 01:05:06,070
Just

779
01:05:06,070 --> 01:05:10,530
concerning the hearing that we've just got of a hot spot. That is. There are mosquitoes. Yes,

780
01:05:10,670 --> 01:05:16,390
unfortunately it has been or discovered the first time in the winters in 2020 in a very

781
01:05:16,390 --> 01:05:22,490
small area up here by the Ministry, but now there pretty well spread throughout throughout

782
01:05:22,490 --> 01:05:25,050
the entire city. Thank you.

783
01:05:27,130 --> 01:05:31,090
So you were covering yellow and sacraments on counties. What

784
01:05:31,090 --> 01:05:37,610
Do we think we're getting things coming over from Salano County, do you work with Salano County Departments?

785
01:05:37,970 --> 01:05:43,190
So, as a mosquito control district, not as big as ours, we do collaborate with them.

786
01:05:43,950 --> 01:05:49,790
You know, and definitely mosquitoes can't fly the cute species of mosquitoes that can transfer what's on their lives.

787
01:05:50,330 --> 01:05:55,990
They can fly the 10 miles. These invasive mosquitoes do not fly very far.

788
01:05:55,990 --> 01:06:03,670
So they are small, back to our miscarriage source type miscarriage, so they only fly about 150 feet from where they lay their eggs.

789
01:06:04,990 --> 01:06:09,410
Another thing I want to know, I appreciate you always provide the packets of miscarriage pellets.

790
01:06:09,990 --> 01:06:19,810
And we have usually here available to anybody who wants them at City Hall and available for, if you're having events, things like that, where you can have a lot of them available. So thank you.

791
01:06:19,810 --> 01:06:24,350
Yes, and if you guys need more than happy day to paint some on the firm distribution

792
01:06:27,210 --> 01:06:29,170
Richard, I had a question about

793
01:06:30,150 --> 01:06:32,510
the map on slide 7

794
01:06:33,690 --> 01:06:34,350
We know

795
01:06:36,430 --> 01:06:37,910
The detection sites

796
01:06:39,270 --> 01:06:44,670
As there's all section of the city that there were none set because there's nothing to detect there or

797
01:06:45,810 --> 01:06:46,450
Let's see

798
01:06:52,570 --> 01:06:53,530
That's all your house?

799
01:06:54,190 --> 01:06:56,770
Not that one, it's the one with the basement.

800
01:06:57,230 --> 01:06:58,750
The basement?

801
01:06:59,250 --> 01:07:00,790
Yes, so we've seen those triangles.

802
01:07:00,990 --> 01:07:03,010
That's where those were on detection sites.

803
01:07:03,390 --> 01:07:06,950
So if you don't see a little triangle in the neighborhood

804
01:07:06,950 --> 01:07:12,470
or at the left corner there, that means that there were no detections there.

805
01:07:13,430 --> 01:07:15,370
So there were no more homes out there?

806
01:07:16,230 --> 01:07:16,410
No.

807
01:07:16,410 --> 01:07:17,470
You're not seeing any detection.

808
01:07:17,850 --> 01:07:20,430
And I wonder if it's because of the different landscaping that's in the new homes?

809
01:07:20,430 --> 01:07:26,430
Perhaps, or, you know, sometimes if people are new to a neighbor, then they just don't have as many sources as many

810
01:07:26,430 --> 01:07:29,430
part of a plant as many areas where mosquitoes can grow.

811
01:07:29,770 --> 01:07:35,210
You'd be surprised sometimes our field takes go into a single home and they find hundreds of like

812
01:07:35,210 --> 01:07:41,830
part of a plant. People like to, you know, they have like a lot of cutlings or they like to just, you know,

813
01:07:42,610 --> 01:07:47,970
wait, take like a, I don't know, like a certain plant and like put it in water and they share with their neighbor.

814
01:07:47,970 --> 01:07:53,830
So I don't know that that could be a reason that the new homes just don't have the amount of sources.

815
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,300
Are there any questions from the public?

816
01:08:10,630 --> 01:08:15,230
Please come up so that people out in zoom land can hear you.

817
01:08:17,350 --> 01:08:19,970
Hi, I'm Shell Famila also in Yolo County.

818
01:08:20,750 --> 01:08:26,690
I'm curious you mentioned your mosquito fish and a lot of times people throw like bowl fish in ponds and stuff like that.

819
01:08:26,690 --> 01:08:28,550
Do the mosquito fish work better?

820
01:08:29,210 --> 01:08:33,630
The mosquito fish actually do work a little bit better just because of the way that the mouth parts are.

821
01:08:34,050 --> 01:08:37,590
So mosquito fish have a mouth part that affects the upward.

822
01:08:38,130 --> 01:08:42,890
And in terms of mosquitoes also hang out like at the top of the water because they mean to breathe.

823
01:08:43,190 --> 01:08:44,990
So that's why they're kind of great for each other.

824
01:08:45,550 --> 01:08:50,290
And because one mosquito fish is only doing about two and a half days per day.

825
01:08:50,290 --> 01:08:56,170
So they're very efficient for a horse drop or fountain for an enemy and being too important for righty skills

826
01:08:56,170 --> 01:08:59,930
And you know just have to tap and general that that's that has water

827
01:09:00,790 --> 01:09:01,570
Very cool

828
01:09:02,110 --> 01:09:04,090
Anyone else so

829
01:09:07,100 --> 01:09:10,640
people the request of space for you charge. That's whenever free services

830
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:16,640
People can request them just by going to the call mess and then we will deliver the fish to you

831
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,920
And you should have to actually go in what they what they need to be

832
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:22,380
Do they come in a little plastic bag?

833
01:09:22,620 --> 01:09:24,260
Yes, they do.

834
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:27,320
Before people were able to just pick them up,

835
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,320
like come to the district and put their little bucket

836
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,680
and we give it to them, but then we found out

837
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:33,400
that they were being used for fishing.

838
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:39,100
Oh, but miss using the bench, so, you know,

839
01:09:39,480 --> 01:09:41,400
because of that, now we need to deliver them.

840
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:43,280
Thank you.

841
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,660
All right, I think it's that.

842
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:48,640
Thank you very much.

843
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,100
I always appreciate seeing you over here.

844
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:51,900
Thank you.

845
01:09:52,700 --> 01:09:54,040
Speak to us about mosquitoes.

846
01:09:54,420 --> 01:09:55,160
Yes, thank you.

847
01:09:57,010 --> 01:09:57,610
All right.

848
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:05,580
Next. Presentation introducing the new League of Women Voters of Yolo County.

849
01:10:08,020 --> 01:10:29,980
Hi. Good evening there and city councilmembers. My name is Michelle Fagila. As I said, I'm a resident of Yolo County for four years on District 2. Like you guys just outside of Davis. I send my apologies for my co-president who is unable to generally receive me due to a family.

850
01:10:29,980 --> 01:10:36,800
illness and she is in winters. So I'm coming this evening. I really appreciate you giving me a

851
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:41,560
little bit of time just to create a little greater understanding about the week of women voters

852
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:48,740
and to let you know about our new week of women voters of yellow county which was chartered this year.

853
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:57,780
Yes that worked okay. The week of women voters is a grassroots nonprofit non-partisan organization

854
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:19,420
We are not indoors, we do not endorse individual candidates or political parties, but we are political, and that is to say that we do support and advocate for governance policies that align with our principles and our positions.

855
01:11:19,420 --> 01:11:25,940
The league supports voters in our community through education and advocacy to enable them

856
01:11:25,940 --> 01:11:28,620
to confidently exercise their growing rights.

857
01:11:29,340 --> 01:11:34,060
The league formed the response initially to the passage of the 19th of the 19th of the

858
01:11:34,060 --> 01:11:34,440
19th.

859
01:11:34,980 --> 01:11:42,460
The United States the right to vote, but then as now our goal is to prepare all voters, especially

860
01:11:42,460 --> 01:11:49,400
new voters, to engage through greater understanding of voter participation rules, candidate option

861
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:50,880
and ballot issues.

862
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:59,560
Today's National League of Women and Voters has local chapters in all 50 states in the District of Columbia,

863
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:05,740
and our new yellow County League replaces the four Davis League of Women and Voters,

864
01:12:05,820 --> 01:12:12,440
and within League of Voters both of which were retired, so that we could merge to form the yellow County League of Women Voters,

865
01:12:12,440 --> 01:12:18,940
And we did so so that we could enroll more members across the entire county and serve

866
01:12:18,940 --> 01:12:25,840
the county's municipalities as well as the rural communities to promote voter participation.

867
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:32,880
We do seek to increase voter understanding and influence public policy through advocacy

868
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:38,360
to support good governance that benefits communities and individuals.

869
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:48,840
some of our services include holding forms, candidate forms or issue forms to help people better understand ballot issues and measures.

870
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:59,040
We can see how there is restricted to those positions we have studied, analyzed and adopted following member consensus and board approval.

871
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:09,000
So we don't just pick up a topic to advocate for, it usually always, as a matter of fact, has gone through a prior study in position development.

872
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:12,480
There we go.

873
01:13:13,420 --> 01:13:17,440
A question is simply to empower voters and to defend democracy.

874
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:28,120
Our vision remains a democracy in which every eligible voter has the desire, the right, the knowledge and the confidence to participate.

875
01:13:29,020 --> 01:13:35,320
Today, we have an expanded vision that is inclusive beyond the initial women vote of history

876
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:41,380
as we encourage both membership and outreach to all in our community in pursuit of a more

877
01:13:41,380 --> 01:13:47,280
perfect democracy in which we can all see ourselves represented regardless of our individual

878
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:53,780
identity or our party preference. Sounds a little bit lofty, but we choose to champion

879
01:13:53,780 --> 01:13:57,200
in the concept of the consent of the government

880
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,080
as defined by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration

881
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:00,900
of Independence.

882
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:03,700
High aspiration indeed.

883
01:14:06,980 --> 01:14:10,160
So just to conclude by getting a little information

884
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,640
about our local chapter, our chapter initiate studies

885
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:17,620
and offers advocacy positions to promote civic engagement.

886
01:14:18,140 --> 01:14:20,720
Our local chapters have a responsibility

887
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:24,000
to educate and advocate on issue policies

888
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:30,840
that have been studied and adopted. Our numbers also have a responsibility and are encouraged

889
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:37,180
to engage in political involvement in the independent of their legal affiliation as they see fit.

890
01:14:37,780 --> 01:14:43,060
So we encourage our members to exercise their personal political positions, but what we're doing

891
01:14:43,060 --> 01:14:48,980
so, if it does not follow the legal's position, we require them to identify that they're speaking

892
01:14:48,980 --> 01:14:51,240
for themselves and not for the organization.

893
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:56,180
A battle has, however, due to the President's

894
01:14:56,180 --> 01:14:57,840
co-presidents and their new services

895
01:14:57,840 --> 01:14:59,640
directors from taking aim.

896
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,440
The visible role are making any public financial contribution to any local statewide or national

897
01:15:06,440 --> 01:15:13,840
political candidate campaign. And then, finally, just to you, what you know about how

898
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:20,780
legal voting voters, your local county program priorities. First off, we welcome the council

899
01:15:20,780 --> 01:15:26,720
to reach out to our nonpartisan organization as appropriate to help promote voter participation

900
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:34,140
as you would best see fit in winter's regarding issue priorities in addition to supporting

901
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:42,600
voting rights and voter education. We are currently conducting a study looking at mental

902
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:47,580
health resources in New York County and have looked at health care policy in the past.

903
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:54,780
And we are learning more about the housing, climate, and social justice issues that impact

904
01:15:54,780 --> 01:16:00,460
our county. We look forward to meeting with community groups and governance

905
01:16:00,460 --> 01:16:07,420
councils such as yourself as in this presentation this evening as part of

906
01:16:07,420 --> 01:16:14,060
our 2025 outreach plan to introduce ourselves across the county and we have to

907
01:16:14,060 --> 01:16:18,200
seek to grow our membership and service throughout the county so that hopefully

908
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:24,660
we might do tailoring voter education we might do in Winters has many Winters

909
01:16:24,660 --> 01:16:30,800
members who are participating in that and so that we can adequately not just represent

910
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,820
but understand the issues of the local community.

911
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:40,160
So thanks very much for having me today and I welcome any questions you may have.

912
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:41,580
Thank you.

913
01:16:42,140 --> 01:16:42,720
Are there any questions?

914
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:43,600
Thank you.

915
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:44,140
I was just kidding.

916
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:51,360
So if you work on your partnerships with the high school, so try to get a really, really

917
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:54,940
exciting register to vote.

918
01:16:55,440 --> 01:16:55,660
Yes.

919
01:16:56,080 --> 01:17:05,000
We welcome, in fact, we love invitations by local high schools, particularly when we can

920
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:11,840
educate students about the ability to pre-register, to vote at 16 or 17 and then be automatically

921
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:17,200
directly in the world to vote at 18 without having to remember as they're trying to remember

922
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:23,100
all the other transitions of being 18 to register to vote because the state will automatically

923
01:17:23,100 --> 01:17:28,100
elevate that pre-registration to registration if it's already there.

924
01:17:28,340 --> 01:17:34,120
So we received limitations, actually I participated in one when I was with with me this week here

925
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:45,100
And we really love talking to young people about the importance of having their voice heard through their vote.

926
01:17:45,440 --> 01:17:50,280
I'm sure that the district would have welcomed an opportunity to call a great crowd right now.

927
01:17:50,820 --> 01:17:52,580
Thank you. That would be wonderful.

928
01:17:56,150 --> 01:17:57,150
Anyone else?

929
01:17:58,730 --> 01:18:04,270
Sort of along those lines, do you work with the elections officer in Jessie Selene?

930
01:18:04,270 --> 01:18:09,190
So this is office because he has a program that he does once a year.

931
01:18:09,450 --> 01:18:10,050
Yes.

932
01:18:10,230 --> 01:18:10,530
Yes.

933
01:18:10,790 --> 01:18:11,370
Yes.

934
01:18:11,610 --> 01:18:11,630
Yes.

935
01:18:11,630 --> 01:18:12,010
Yes.

936
01:18:12,010 --> 01:18:13,670
What the acronym stands for.

937
01:18:14,090 --> 01:18:14,390
Yes.

938
01:18:14,650 --> 01:18:17,370
You empower the office on it.

939
01:18:17,790 --> 01:18:18,350
Yes.

940
01:18:18,790 --> 01:18:18,930
Yes.

941
01:18:19,510 --> 01:18:20,890
Thank you for asking.

942
01:18:21,890 --> 01:18:31,110
We are really blessed in New York County to have an elections office that reaches out to us when they need additional support

943
01:18:31,110 --> 01:18:33,930
for doing things like the outside.

944
01:18:34,730 --> 01:18:37,390
Sometimes it really is a matter of manpower.

945
01:18:37,890 --> 01:18:40,990
So sometimes what we have done particularly in 2020,

946
01:18:41,090 --> 01:18:42,850
I can recall some of our members

947
01:18:42,850 --> 01:18:45,950
went through a process of being deputized

948
01:18:45,950 --> 01:18:47,850
so that we could be election observers

949
01:18:47,850 --> 01:18:50,230
because they simply did not have

950
01:18:50,230 --> 01:18:52,810
that level of manpower within the office.

951
01:18:53,470 --> 01:18:56,870
And that office did an amazing job

952
01:18:56,870 --> 01:18:59,050
in outreach when the voters choice

953
01:18:59,050 --> 01:19:06,830
Act was passed to make sure that that was available through you know the parts of your county that they were able to commit to so

954
01:19:07,630 --> 01:19:12,010
Yes, we definitely work with them when it works for them

955
01:19:13,150 --> 01:19:16,370
Thank you. Are there any questions from the public?

956
01:19:17,610 --> 01:19:18,130
All

957
01:19:21,170 --> 01:19:26,350
right. Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the fresh air presentation. I appreciate the opportunity

958
01:19:26,350 --> 01:19:27,650
And

959
01:19:31,170 --> 01:19:38,890
our last presentation for this evening is a proclamation honoring the 150th...

960
01:19:40,030 --> 01:19:41,890
No, I skipped one. I'm sorry.

961
01:19:42,650 --> 01:19:43,470
Stay in the sector.

962
01:19:46,070 --> 01:19:47,310
I beg your pardon.

963
01:19:49,310 --> 01:19:52,730
Presentation of the 2025 State of the Sector Report.

964
01:19:53,810 --> 01:19:55,530
Your local community foundation?

965
01:19:55,990 --> 01:19:57,830
That's right. Thank you so much for having us here tonight.

966
01:19:58,130 --> 01:19:59,690
Thank you so much for having us here tonight.

967
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,100
The executive chapter of the Yellow Community Foundation.

968
01:20:05,540 --> 01:20:09,360
And we're here to show the 12.5, your full

969
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:15,240
nonprofit sector report. This is our 50th year, please, Mr. Court, which is coming to go into detail.

970
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:21,220
That gives you a profile of sort of our local nonprofit sector with me to find how we can best support it.

971
01:20:21,220 --> 01:20:27,220
Um, just pray for us to share this with the LGBTQ Foundation, our mission is to inspire and support

972
01:20:27,220 --> 01:20:31,920
giving and provide long-term leadership in our university and the community, we do that in

973
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:32,880
very primary ways.

974
01:20:33,460 --> 01:20:36,620
First, we work to inspire giving up if you can go ahead to the next slide.

975
01:20:38,340 --> 01:20:39,720
Oh, great, thank you.

976
01:20:43,870 --> 01:20:44,770
Excellent, thank you.

977
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:49,070
We work to inspire giving to encourage more giving in the other accounts than beyond.

978
01:20:49,610 --> 01:20:50,670
We do that kind of thing.

979
01:20:50,670 --> 01:20:56,650
offering, trying to give in funds, like donor funds, which are more to foundations, scholarship

980
01:20:56,650 --> 01:21:03,630
funds, nonprofit funds, the making more convenient, more powerful and tax advantage to encourage

981
01:21:03,630 --> 01:21:09,470
people to give more, throughout EO County, and to causes and priorities that matter most

982
01:21:09,470 --> 01:21:09,750
to them.

983
01:21:10,490 --> 01:21:14,270
So that's work to support throughout the best, our fund holders, but other donors in the

984
01:21:14,270 --> 01:21:20,070
community as well, our goals for our fund holders to feel inspired to get educated to achieve

985
01:21:20,070 --> 01:21:23,810
of giving goals and connected to a community that's working together in Serbia,

986
01:21:23,970 --> 01:21:28,330
or County. We do that through educational violence, through the leadership of their

987
01:21:28,330 --> 01:21:33,350
portal, you'll hear about tonight and just ask the board. And then by doing what most

988
01:21:33,350 --> 01:21:37,550
importantly to serve them in our province and our community, what we really do is by doing

989
01:21:37,550 --> 01:21:41,610
those first two things well in which case we're increasing the quality and quality of giving

990
01:21:41,610 --> 01:21:46,690
work away. We have different types of travel, but giving accounts on one of those is

991
01:21:46,690 --> 01:21:53,450
and nonprofit funds, those are reserve accounts, endowments, chemical accounts, other funds

992
01:21:53,450 --> 01:21:59,610
that allow nonprofits to gather and grow their resources, and those are not only to nonprofits

993
01:21:59,610 --> 01:22:04,070
but other tax entities, so present the City of Winters has opened the Winters Senior Centre

994
01:22:04,070 --> 01:22:07,890
Fund, and we have quite a few government agencies with funds with us.

995
01:22:09,970 --> 01:22:21,770
We have about 115 funds totaling about $14, $14, $15, $9, and about a third of those are set up by non-profit agencies, so it's a really important part of our work.

996
01:22:22,250 --> 01:22:35,670
We also serve non-profit stoke red making initiatives last year we get to $1.9 million from both grants lighted by the yellow community foundation itself, and our fund holders, our donor-by-sponsored scholarships, and so on.

997
01:22:36,530 --> 01:22:39,230
And in addition, we have training programs for nonprofits.

998
01:22:39,730 --> 01:22:43,410
Most importantly, we are going to encourage them to just communicate with us on this.

999
01:22:43,490 --> 01:22:45,110
We're participating in our medical work.

1000
01:22:45,370 --> 01:22:49,190
It's a program to help you have a small and medium-sized nonprofits

1001
01:22:49,190 --> 01:22:51,130
build up a lot of operations.

1002
01:22:52,010 --> 01:22:56,130
But in that case, the HRIT will get their policies and procedures in place,

1003
01:22:56,530 --> 01:22:59,030
so they can little risk and increase impact.

1004
01:22:59,890 --> 01:23:02,990
And then, in addition, we'll come in on proper leaders' alliance,

1005
01:23:02,990 --> 01:23:04,310
which is a long-standing program.

1006
01:23:04,630 --> 01:23:06,990
We hold community building and capacity building,

1007
01:23:07,350 --> 01:23:10,810
trainings, workshops, panels, and so on, roughly monthly.

1008
01:23:12,390 --> 01:23:13,930
There's a fun time sentence in those.

1009
01:23:14,610 --> 01:23:18,030
Different ways that individuals and organizations can work

1010
01:23:18,030 --> 01:23:20,210
with your kind to increase the impact of their giving.

1011
01:23:21,030 --> 01:23:22,650
And with that, let's turn it over to Carolina.

1012
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:28,720
Good evening.

1013
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:30,840
I'm Karen, and I'm the Program Manager

1014
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:32,220
at the Illinois Community Foundation.

1015
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:35,140
And to start off, we do have a QR code

1016
01:23:35,140 --> 01:23:36,920
that has the full support on it.

1017
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:38,860
We'll be going to work on the bridge version tonight.

1018
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,020
So if you want to take a few months,

1019
01:23:41,300 --> 01:23:45,400
I'll give you a moment to take a break or pull up your camera.

1020
01:23:45,700 --> 01:23:48,620
If you want, if not, we also have on our website.

1021
01:23:48,900 --> 01:23:50,120
We have this linked as well.

1022
01:23:52,420 --> 01:23:52,920
I'm sorry.

1023
01:23:53,300 --> 01:23:54,300
No, go on.

1024
01:23:54,380 --> 01:23:55,820
Oh, I'm sorry.

1025
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,440
I won't print out like I'm not looking.

1026
01:23:58,660 --> 01:23:58,780
OK.

1027
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:00,480
Is that all ready?

1028
01:24:01,140 --> 01:24:02,540
OK, sorry about that.

1029
01:24:04,780 --> 01:24:05,680
OK, here we go.

1030
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:14,000
So, each year we need to understand the things and the trends that are impacting the non-profit sector and the communities in which they serve.

1031
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:22,720
This goal is to conduct this year in this sector report and this year we've sent it after over 600 non-profit professionals across the county.

1032
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:33,840
The organizations represent all of Yellow County where we have organizations serving youth, mental health organizations, arts and culture organizations,

1033
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:37,040
and developmental sustainability, just to name a few.

1034
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:40,300
The results of the survey help us understand

1035
01:24:40,300 --> 01:24:42,880
and that leads encourage collaboration

1036
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:46,220
and provide transparency of the successes and challenges.

1037
01:24:47,060 --> 01:24:49,220
It allows us to upload the voices and lots

1038
01:24:49,220 --> 01:24:51,980
who are often marginalized and show that needs

1039
01:24:51,980 --> 01:24:54,160
the perspectives of underserved community members

1040
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:55,580
are recognized and addressed.

1041
01:24:56,460 --> 01:24:59,540
Last week, it allows us to create a path forward.

1042
01:25:00,140 --> 01:25:05,260
When we're educated, we're able to make strategic decisions on how we can best support our leaders

1043
01:25:05,260 --> 01:25:14,160
and co-operable bias impact as well as long-term sustainable change. For the general, we had 68

1044
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:20,380
nonprofits complete the report this year. And something interesting that we found out this year

1045
01:25:20,380 --> 01:25:26,800
and analyzed in the data is that out of those 60 nonprofits, 29 of them did not complete the survey last year.

1046
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:32,420
So it's not necessarily complying all those troubles when I give comparisons from year

1047
01:25:32,420 --> 01:25:37,340
to year, just something for us to keep in mind as we tracked data over time.

1048
01:25:38,940 --> 01:25:44,160
The majority of those responses did come from Davis and then followed by Whitland and then

1049
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:51,260
Winters and West Sacramento and one of the biggest areas that was highlighted this year

1050
01:25:51,260 --> 01:25:55,220
I'm happy to do the finances which I'm sure you've heard a lot about up to this point.

1051
01:25:56,480 --> 01:26:00,720
We're seeing expenses outpacing revenues quite considerably.

1052
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:05,940
With 53% of organizations seeing their expenses increased by at least 10%

1053
01:26:05,940 --> 01:26:11,720
and 37% of organizations reporting an increase that revenue by 10%.

1054
01:26:12,380 --> 01:26:18,940
They expect this trend to continue through 2025 with 30% of nonprofits expecting their expenses

1055
01:26:18,940 --> 01:26:24,680
is to continue to increase while 15% expect their revenues to increase.

1056
01:26:25,420 --> 01:26:28,700
None of this could be financially challenging year.

1057
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:31,800
We explored what safeguards organizations have in place

1058
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:33,700
to allow for sustainability.

1059
01:26:35,260 --> 01:26:37,880
Reserves and improvements are a great way for organizations

1060
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,000
to weather financial storms.

1061
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:42,860
We're seeing a decrease in the amount of reserves

1062
01:26:42,860 --> 01:26:47,220
on behalf of organizations with almost 52% of organizations

1063
01:26:47,220 --> 01:26:50,720
organizations reporting, they have less than six months of reserves on hand.

1064
01:26:51,300 --> 01:26:57,000
This is a pretty significant increase from last year, which was 29% of organizations reported

1065
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:02,820
less than six months. With that in mind, that could mean that organizations were in growth

1066
01:27:02,820 --> 01:27:08,400
phase, and therefore they pulled from loans, which would be great, or it means that they're

1067
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,240
having some financial challenges and had to pull from their reserves.

1068
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:18,650
We have also seen certain stations staff salaries, which the majority of organizations

1069
01:27:19,190 --> 01:27:24,530
didn't able to provide some increase in sales for staff and 30% saying they were able

1070
01:27:24,530 --> 01:27:27,450
to provide salaries that keep pace with inflation.

1071
01:27:28,250 --> 01:27:31,950
This is going to come later in the moment when we talk about retention as well.

1072
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:36,320
There we go.

1073
01:27:36,820 --> 01:27:42,400
And then from volunteering trends, volunteer burnout is still one of the main concerns our organizations

1074
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:49,860
have, and some organizations are trying to strategize new ways to engage new communities

1075
01:27:49,860 --> 01:27:56,100
and volunteers, new demographics offering different shifts for volunteering is available,

1076
01:27:56,740 --> 01:28:01,840
not usually in the 9 to 5 when people might be working so that they can engage people

1077
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:07,440
when they're working, and then also making sure that they're tearing the types of volunteer

1078
01:28:07,440 --> 01:28:12,960
work. There's been two people saying they can remain engaged and excited about the work

1079
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:18,660
that they're doing. So I think that we're going to talk about a lot throughout this

1080
01:28:18,660 --> 01:28:25,100
report is sustainability. Throughout the report, sustainability is as essential being

1081
01:28:25,100 --> 01:28:30,840
across staffing, volunteers, finances, and organizational systems. But in the foundation,

1082
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:32,380
and how it's not probably so effective

1083
01:28:32,380 --> 01:28:34,280
and fulfill permission long term.

1084
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:37,420
This is identified by big key things

1085
01:28:37,420 --> 01:28:38,740
while reading your responses,

1086
01:28:39,060 --> 01:28:40,800
and it has been made from the presentation

1087
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:42,420
we focus on those three things.

1088
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:46,240
The three things are the confidential constraints,

1089
01:28:47,100 --> 01:28:48,500
strengthening nonprofit boards,

1090
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:51,200
and sustainability for staff and volunteers.

1091
01:28:54,170 --> 01:28:57,230
So going into ongoing financial constraints,

1092
01:28:57,570 --> 01:28:59,750
we know that the nonprofit is acting as experiencing

1093
01:28:59,750 --> 01:29:01,290
a lot of financial challenges,

1094
01:29:01,290 --> 01:29:03,010
especially since COVID.

1095
01:29:03,710 --> 01:29:08,190
We want to understand what some of those major factors are right now in this moment.

1096
01:29:09,050 --> 01:29:12,790
First and foremost, many nonprofits are concerned about government funding.

1097
01:29:13,390 --> 01:29:17,450
With 47% of nonprofits reporting a decline in government funding,

1098
01:29:17,970 --> 01:29:21,470
we'll add them somewhat or significantly drive down their revenues this year.

1099
01:29:22,130 --> 01:29:26,270
This couple to the end will want having pandemic-era fines as organizations

1100
01:29:26,270 --> 01:29:28,370
consigned about their financial futures.

1101
01:29:28,370 --> 01:29:34,310
Despite the challenges, organizations are diversifying funding in building resilience and

1102
01:29:34,310 --> 01:29:41,650
maintaining optimistic ways that they're diversifying funding in student fundraising events,

1103
01:29:42,110 --> 01:29:47,090
building rents, using marketing and communications, and also building capacity to improve financial

1104
01:29:47,090 --> 01:29:53,610
stability. With concerns about finances, it also leads to questions about staffing capacity

1105
01:29:53,610 --> 01:29:56,430
and impacts on those providing services.

1106
01:29:57,460 --> 01:29:59,350
And please go ahead and nonprofit.

1107
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:09,860
We have support in a form of the Board of Directors, who are up-and-change organizations, financially, healthy and stable, to create lasting impact for the communities they serve.

1108
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:31,340
For our non-profit boards, we've heard that there is an opportunity for increased board diversity and interested in engaging a broader range of perspectives, experiences, and skills to better reflect the communities they serve. This thing continues. This year is 48% of the organizations reported

1109
01:30:31,340 --> 01:30:35,020
that less than 10% of their board is BIPOC,

1110
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:37,860
which stands for Black Indigenous People of color.

1111
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,800
This picture doesn't reflect your accounting population

1112
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:44,640
with census data showing that over 50%

1113
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:48,000
of your accounting residents are identified as BIPOC.

1114
01:30:48,660 --> 01:30:51,920
In addition to this, only 13% of nonprofits report

1115
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:54,160
having a majority BIPOC board.

1116
01:30:55,100 --> 01:30:56,920
In conversations with not-profits,

1117
01:30:57,160 --> 01:30:59,700
they did that volunteers, including board members,

1118
01:30:59,700 --> 01:31:05,000
There is often come from a limited demographic, and there is growing interest to engage a broader

1119
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:06,260
group, of course, on a native group.

1120
01:31:07,480 --> 01:31:12,020
When asked what the biggest challenges are, when creating new board members,

1121
01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:17,660
nonprofits

1122
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:25,020
cited time constraints for prospective board members and a new pool of candidates, nonprofits

1123
01:31:25,020 --> 01:31:30,000
feel that potential board members might be hesitant to join because of busy schedules and

1124
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:35,620
Since many communities or niche organizations struggle to find qualified or interested individuals.

1125
01:31:37,770 --> 01:31:41,750
Lastly, we're going to staff, staffing volunteers.

1126
01:31:42,370 --> 01:31:47,370
We've seen a civilisation and staffing with 59% of organizations reporting that they're

1127
01:31:47,370 --> 01:31:53,030
staffing would remain the same and with some growth with almost 30% organizations having

1128
01:31:53,030 --> 01:31:58,050
an increase in staff which is great since we're seeing a recovery in civilisation since

1129
01:31:58,050 --> 01:31:58,370
COVID.

1130
01:31:59,310 --> 01:32:02,470
However, this is overshadowed with high concerns and

1131
01:32:02,470 --> 01:32:07,590
with 44% organizations reporting they're concerned about their staff bringing out

1132
01:32:08,090 --> 01:32:10,570
and potentially moving on to other sectors.

1133
01:32:11,410 --> 01:32:14,330
When we asked organizations if they had extra funds,

1134
01:32:14,330 --> 01:32:16,210
what would they utilize the funds for?

1135
01:32:16,650 --> 01:32:19,330
40% said they would hire more program staff.

1136
01:32:20,230 --> 01:32:24,910
What this tells us is that organizations are sending the hydrogen for services

1137
01:32:24,910 --> 01:32:27,990
and don't have the capacity to meet that need right now.

1138
01:32:29,290 --> 01:32:34,010
Our volunteer organizations offer experience in our own challenges.

1139
01:32:34,710 --> 01:32:38,730
We did have 75% organizations fit with the volunteer needs

1140
01:32:38,730 --> 01:32:40,650
or either a little safer than that.

1141
01:32:41,030 --> 01:32:44,190
However, considering how we bring out the needs the same.

1142
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:47,980
Two codes out.

1143
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:52,260
I want to go back to our theme of sustainability

1144
01:32:53,060 --> 01:32:55,240
and how it relates to the three things.

1145
01:32:55,240 --> 01:33:00,940
Since, succinctly is the foundation that supports nonprofits and delivering vaccine impact,

1146
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:06,340
financial stability and powers nonprofits to plan, grow and adapt effectively.

1147
01:33:07,140 --> 01:33:12,080
Consistent staffing reduces burnout and strengthen song-term organizational impact.

1148
01:33:12,860 --> 01:33:18,200
Indigenous volunteers explain reach, strengthen community ties, and boost capacity,

1149
01:33:19,020 --> 01:33:23,760
and strong operations ensure structured accountability and smooth program delivery.

1150
01:33:27,380 --> 01:33:31,100
Last thing we encourage you to learn should be that we created this for the day today,

1151
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:37,440
but running the field for non-profit sharing with your networks and then of course

1152
01:33:37,440 --> 01:33:41,700
giving you the encouraging others to give all your strength as our non-profit sector.

1153
01:33:42,300 --> 01:33:42,920
Thank you so much.

1154
01:33:44,060 --> 01:33:46,120
And we've been to questions, if you have questions.

1155
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:54,060
As I mentioned earlier, as I've already heard, you know, it's a great idea.

1156
01:33:54,060 --> 01:33:58,560
And we have all these wonderful groups that would love to recruit, but it's a very high

1157
01:33:58,560 --> 01:33:59,280
net to crack.

1158
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:04,460
We've been trying, because I think you're still challenging the people to get off the

1159
01:34:04,460 --> 01:34:10,460
couches and get involved, but we're still working on it, so that's why you do.

1160
01:34:11,480 --> 01:34:15,600
I wanted to say thank you for all you do, and just give a little pitch to the NEON program.

1161
01:34:16,020 --> 01:34:23,000
So non-profit excellence in operations, now we get it, now we get it, okay, I couldn't

1162
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:23,240
I don't remember.

1163
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:32,540
So, you know, it's a great program for small nonprofits like Coliseum to, you know,

1164
01:34:32,780 --> 01:34:40,380
learn and buy by all the expectations from the state level, the federal level, personnel,

1165
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:40,900
so forth.

1166
01:34:41,940 --> 01:34:48,640
We, I will just say very candidly that when we formed Winters Community Coliseum, it was

1167
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:52,220
kind of like, you guys need to make a nonprofit from Hispanic Advisory Committee.

1168
01:34:52,220 --> 01:34:59,680
We had no idea really of the operational expectations at the time.

1169
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:29,980
We've learned so much by being part of your program. I'm really excited about it and really excited that all of the nonprofits and winners worked very closely together on the big day of giving and shout out to Crystal and the back because she really put it out there in the newspaper. But we're all excited that we can grow with this.

1170
01:35:29,980 --> 01:35:32,220
your own community foundation.

1171
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:33,100
Thank you.

1172
01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:34,440
Thank you.

1173
01:35:37,660 --> 01:35:38,600
Anyone else?

1174
01:35:39,300 --> 01:35:40,540
Anyone in the public?

1175
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:44,740
Yes, thank you for coming.

1176
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:49,040
Given us a presentation, give me a much better understanding

1177
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:51,220
of how you work and what you work.

1178
01:35:52,060 --> 01:35:56,480
And I sort of following with Jessie,

1179
01:35:56,480 --> 01:35:58,180
he has a member of Code of Son as well.

1180
01:35:59,020 --> 01:36:02,000
And we haven't participated in at least one of your workshops.

1181
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:03,860
Thank you.

1182
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:06,880
Thank you. We'll see you Thursday.

1183
01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:11,800
All right, now we're

1184
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:18,980
item E. Proclamation honoring the 150th anniversary of the first

1185
01:36:18,980 --> 01:36:24,520
municipal election of the city of Winters. And I don't think

1186
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:26,640
does anyone here to present it?

1187
01:36:29,780 --> 01:36:31,380
I'm here to present it. I don't

1188
01:36:39,300 --> 01:36:44,680
And then I would just recommend, again, checking if there's public comment has been taking

1189
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:51,240
a quick vote before it will just be up to you, the proclamation, thank you.

1190
01:36:54,180 --> 01:36:55,460
Is there any discussion needed?

1191
01:37:06,860 --> 01:37:14,600
All right, we have the motion from Council Member Lorraine, 2nd, Council Member of the

1192
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:15,260
Casa Vecchia.

1193
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:16,400
All those in favor.

1194
01:37:16,540 --> 01:37:17,140
Please say aye.

1195
01:37:17,660 --> 01:37:17,900
Aye.

1196
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:19,520
Opposed?

1197
01:37:19,980 --> 01:37:20,820
Carries unanimously.

1198
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:22,200
Oh.

1199
01:37:23,300 --> 01:37:24,980
We have a proclamation here.

1200
01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:33,820
the city council of the city of winters, honoring the 150th anniversary of the first municipal

1201
01:37:33,820 --> 01:37:43,460
election of the city of winters, and I'll read quickly, whereas on May 22, 1875, the residents

1202
01:37:43,460 --> 01:37:49,200
of winters held their first municipal election, marking the establishment of local governance

1203
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:54,240
and the beginning of a community-led journey at the southwestern edge of the

1204
01:37:54,240 --> 01:38:00,040
Olo County in the shadow of the Blue Ridge. And whereas this pivotal event laid

1205
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:05,460
the foundation for a vibrant, resilient, and welcoming community nestled along

1206
01:38:05,460 --> 01:38:11,760
Peter Creek in the western Sacramento Valley, and whereas for 150 years,

1207
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:17,900
Winters has grown from a small agricultural hub into a thriving city known for its

1208
01:38:17,900 --> 01:38:24,020
strong sense of community, scenic beauty, rich heritage, and dedication to

1209
01:38:24,020 --> 01:38:30,640
progress and sustainability. And whereas generations of residents, business

1210
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:37,140
owners, educators, farmers, artists, civic leaders, and volunteers have shaped

1211
01:38:37,140 --> 01:38:42,540
the character and spirit of winters, making it a place where tradition and

1212
01:38:42,540 --> 01:38:45,420
innovation coexist and all are welcome.

1213
01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:50,280
And whereas the city of Winters honors the contributions

1214
01:38:50,500 --> 01:38:54,480
of the indigenous peoples, early founders, settlers,

1215
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:59,100
and all those who followed whose knowledge, labor, culture,

1216
01:38:59,620 --> 01:39:05,880
and perseverance are woven into the fabric of our shared story.

1217
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:19,040
whereas in 2025 the City of Winters celebrates this CESC core centennial a milestone to reflect not only 150 years since the first

1218
01:39:19,040 --> 01:39:29,940
Manip's municipal election but also 150 years of community resilience and pride and whereas the City Council encourages all

1219
01:39:29,940 --> 01:39:35,760
residents and visitors to reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and look forward

1220
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:38,300
to a future full of promise and opportunity.

1221
01:39:39,300 --> 01:39:47,040
Now, therefore, a proclaim that the Winter's City Council, on behalf of the people of

1222
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:54,020
this great city, does hereby commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first municipal election

1223
01:39:54,020 --> 01:39:59,640
of the city of Winters and urges all citizens to take part in the events and activities.

1224
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:00,120
Council, mayor of the city.

1225
01:40:00,220 --> 01:40:02,780
Federal housing activities, honoring the historic occasion.

1226
01:40:04,380 --> 01:40:08,080
4B resolved, city council of city winters.

1227
01:40:08,500 --> 01:40:13,500
Hereby, passing adopted this 20th May 2025.

1228
01:40:22,970 --> 01:40:27,690
So Charlie Wallace brought that up a couple of months ago that it was a 50th year, and he

1229
01:40:27,690 --> 01:40:31,010
looked me straight inside and said, well, what are you going to do about it?

1230
01:40:32,590 --> 01:40:37,630
So after I started talking to boys, I was about to come in and start nagging at how

1231
01:40:37,630 --> 01:40:38,370
bad I am.

1232
01:40:38,590 --> 01:40:43,570
And Charlie was like, okay, he's just going to do a proclamation, what the city is going to

1233
01:40:43,570 --> 01:40:43,750
do.

1234
01:40:43,750 --> 01:40:48,870
and we ended up just coming up some working interest in the maintenance.

1235
01:40:50,070 --> 01:40:56,750
We did our 10 decentralized work in 1975, and we celebrated it again in 2000, and I don't

1236
01:40:56,750 --> 01:40:57,590
really know the express.

1237
01:40:58,550 --> 01:41:02,250
And so just pouring over the Centennial Edition and the last time we touched it was,

1238
01:41:02,850 --> 01:41:06,810
it was really interesting to just kind of see how the community and even a city

1239
01:41:06,810 --> 01:41:11,710
we've just really grown and started to make real positive stats to include everybody

1240
01:41:11,710 --> 01:41:14,150
everybody and make things better for our citizens.

1241
01:41:14,730 --> 01:41:18,690
So thank you so much for updating the proclamation for new

1242
01:41:18,690 --> 01:41:20,050
health and health.

1243
01:41:20,710 --> 01:41:23,490
So fishermen, there is a solo fishing

1244
01:41:23,490 --> 01:41:25,530
on Thursday at Governor's Museum,

1245
01:41:25,850 --> 01:41:27,930
putting on England for Historical Society.

1246
01:41:28,650 --> 01:41:33,250
They're taking up a really firm 150 $1,000

1247
01:41:33,250 --> 01:41:35,850
by hopefully 150 residents or groups

1248
01:41:35,850 --> 01:41:39,410
to help raise money for the Historical Society

1249
01:41:39,410 --> 01:41:41,310
and their continued research and just documenting

1250
01:41:41,310 --> 01:41:46,190
what our city does on the expressors during the 30 special editions.

1251
01:41:49,090 --> 01:41:49,950
The first one

1252
01:41:49,950 --> 01:41:56,690
out last week for business and culture on Wednesday and Thursday. I'll see you in

1253
01:41:56,690 --> 01:42:02,850
for a community and then next week we'll be focusing on the City of Rutgers and our

1254
01:42:02,850 --> 01:42:06,910
public safety departments. I hope everybody will. If you don't have some script and go grab

1255
01:42:06,910 --> 01:42:12,450
one just it's it's really cool to see not just the 1800 articles we printed but just just

1256
01:42:12,450 --> 01:42:17,470
just some of the things that happened in the university in the last 50 years from our last

1257
01:42:17,470 --> 01:42:23,710
sometime the other day so thank you. Cool. Do you do you think you could explain what the

1258
01:42:23,710 --> 01:42:32,290
spirit of Winters is up to with the 100. So I've sent up the meeting but I was tasked to help with the

1259
01:42:32,290 --> 01:42:39,390
We are trying to set up 150 service projects that we've been doing in our community.

1260
01:42:39,570 --> 01:42:40,290
It doesn't matter who.

1261
01:42:41,490 --> 01:42:42,810
Call us out to Timmy.

1262
01:42:43,370 --> 01:42:44,790
I just am like we started.

1263
01:42:45,230 --> 01:42:46,370
Might know big everything.

1264
01:42:47,030 --> 01:42:47,890
My friends.

1265
01:42:48,110 --> 01:42:49,030
It's going on recently.

1266
01:42:49,730 --> 01:42:50,890
There's still a lot to do.

1267
01:42:51,370 --> 01:42:53,950
But including things like Crony's Festival.

1268
01:42:54,630 --> 01:42:58,570
It's as little as like just these little service projects that are going on.

1269
01:42:58,570 --> 01:43:01,930
but we are all that are tied to different things

1270
01:43:01,930 --> 01:43:04,730
and several girls get picked up with her.

1271
01:43:04,890 --> 01:43:07,850
So I'm just trying to look at all the different little things

1272
01:43:07,850 --> 01:43:08,690
that happens in countries.

1273
01:43:08,870 --> 01:43:12,510
There's so much that goes on that people may not know about

1274
01:43:12,510 --> 01:43:14,590
just because we don't always talk about it,

1275
01:43:15,350 --> 01:43:16,350
but it's worth celebrating.

1276
01:43:17,450 --> 01:43:19,830
Thank you, thank you for that synopsis on that

1277
01:43:19,830 --> 01:43:23,950
and I'm gonna speak first for once, I guess.

1278
01:43:24,890 --> 01:43:27,110
It's just I'm always surprised by how much

1279
01:43:27,830 --> 01:43:33,450
our community does. And how much is going on? I mean, I don't live in any other small towns.

1280
01:43:33,750 --> 01:43:42,670
I really can't compare, but I would imagine we have a lot going on compared to many, many other

1281
01:43:43,210 --> 01:43:49,150
places that are sort of equal in sort of size. But thank you. Thank you for all you do.

1282
01:43:49,150 --> 01:43:52,770
You're not going to just go out there and just pull through our cabinets.

1283
01:43:53,590 --> 01:43:55,710
I'm going to do it the whole year 1972 for some reason.

1284
01:43:55,930 --> 01:43:56,550
I'm not going to go out there.

1285
01:43:56,550 --> 01:44:02,330
But it's really interesting to see how our cities used to have these big events

1286
01:44:02,330 --> 01:44:06,270
that maybe they're more inclusive.

1287
01:44:06,870 --> 01:44:07,470
That's right.

1288
01:44:07,530 --> 01:44:08,250
I hope we're empowered.

1289
01:44:08,930 --> 01:44:13,130
It just includes my things that maybe just really added a whole lot more.

1290
01:44:13,390 --> 01:44:14,570
I'm not just a respite.

1291
01:44:14,870 --> 01:44:15,890
Some are proficient at it.

1292
01:44:16,170 --> 01:44:17,070
I'm not proficient at it.

1293
01:44:17,070 --> 01:44:17,670
Exit our city.

1294
01:44:17,670 --> 01:44:19,370
I think you're more coming.

1295
01:44:19,650 --> 01:44:20,470
Yes, I'm working.

1296
01:44:21,870 --> 01:44:22,570
It's amazing.

1297
01:44:23,650 --> 01:44:25,110
So may I present this to you?

1298
01:44:25,250 --> 01:44:27,470
Yeah, I'm thinking of bringing it to the museum

1299
01:44:27,470 --> 01:44:29,430
so that they can have it on the square.

1300
01:44:30,030 --> 01:44:31,250
The building, I think, I'm going to say.

1301
01:44:31,630 --> 01:44:31,770
Good.

1302
01:44:33,030 --> 01:44:37,230
I just wanted to give this a shout out.

1303
01:44:37,370 --> 01:44:39,510
We hope to do this.

1304
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:48,100
To give this to you, to have everybody sign it and we would sign it.

1305
01:44:48,100 --> 01:44:51,880
I couldn't get this out of the, I couldn't get it out of the frame.

1306
01:44:51,980 --> 01:44:53,200
You can get the matter off the frame.

1307
01:44:54,300 --> 01:44:59,520
You got high hopes of, you know, providing it to the events on Thursday.

1308
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:12,180
And maybe somebody else could get it out of there by then. But it would be really nice for the people that show up to kind of, you know, have their names at the 150th day. Yeah, sorry. Thank you. You're welcome.

1309
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:37,780
It's like really stuff in there, like it's, oh my god, should we all get a photo?

1310
01:45:38,580 --> 01:45:39,600
You want to do a photo?

1311
01:45:39,740 --> 01:45:40,260
Come on, you guys.

1312
01:45:40,820 --> 01:45:41,700
Yeah, everyone comes.

1313
01:45:42,100 --> 01:45:42,920
You got it.

1314
01:45:43,260 --> 01:45:43,440
Yeah.

1315
01:45:45,260 --> 01:45:46,040
Raise your gun.

1316
01:45:46,340 --> 01:45:47,760
Raise your

1317
01:45:50,480 --> 01:45:50,620
gun.

1318
01:45:50,620 --> 01:45:52,980
It's like, it's like the better thing you do.

1319
01:45:53,580 --> 01:45:54,260
I'll try it.

1320
01:45:54,440 --> 01:45:55,040
I'll try it.

1321
01:46:58,770 --> 01:47:02,930
Okay, thank you, everyone, moving right along to discussion items.

1322
01:47:03,730 --> 01:47:04,870
Thank you, Mayor.

1323
01:47:04,870 --> 01:47:06,830
I have made to this evening as a public hearing and grant

1324
01:47:06,830 --> 01:47:10,490
a resolution 202529, the preliminary application,

1325
01:47:10,950 --> 01:47:13,390
SB2, permanent local housing allocation program

1326
01:47:13,390 --> 01:47:13,690
funding.

1327
01:47:14,130 --> 01:47:15,910
I think this is kind of unfair because Kelly

1328
01:47:15,910 --> 01:47:17,510
had to stay the whole night for a public hearing

1329
01:47:17,510 --> 01:47:18,490
when there's no public left.

1330
01:47:19,290 --> 01:47:20,850
So it will be brief.

1331
01:47:21,310 --> 01:47:21,450
Thank you.

1332
01:47:23,010 --> 01:47:24,130
Thank you, Jeremy.

1333
01:47:25,310 --> 01:47:28,170
And thank you all for being on council members, members

1334
01:47:28,170 --> 01:47:29,310
of the city of Washington.

1335
01:47:29,310 --> 01:47:36,750
to person. Tonight we have a public hearing which is agenda item 8A regarding resolution

1336
01:47:36,750 --> 01:47:43,770
number 2025-29, potentially approving application for SB2 permanent local housing allocation

1337
01:47:43,770 --> 01:47:51,430
program funds. So the recommendation tonight from the staff report is to conduct a public

1338
01:47:51,430 --> 01:47:55,830
hearing regarding the grant application for permanent local housing allocation program

1339
01:47:55,830 --> 01:48:00,510
and two to potentially adopt resolution 2025-29.

1340
01:48:01,350 --> 01:48:07,950
A little bit of background on the funding source for the PRAHA.

1341
01:48:08,450 --> 01:48:20,470
Grant is that the city back in 2019 was allocated for the year 2019 and 2020 in the amount of $200,000, $704.

1342
01:48:20,470 --> 01:48:27,830
dollars. The program coordinator has since reached out to city staff and reminded us that

1343
01:48:27,830 --> 01:48:34,370
we are eligible for further years of funding. Due to the fact that we have a change of

1344
01:48:34,370 --> 01:48:40,230
city management from the last time we applied to this time, the program managers are asking

1345
01:48:40,230 --> 01:48:47,770
us to clean things up where we need to put forth a new resolution that authorizes Jeremy

1346
01:48:47,770 --> 01:48:54,490
Craig as a city manager to sign the agreements, applications, and anything affiliated with this

1347
01:48:54,490 --> 01:48:55,370
grant funding source.

1348
01:48:56,490 --> 01:49:02,610
So we are here before you tonight with a proposal on the proposed adopting resolution to

1349
01:49:03,170 --> 01:49:08,410
approve authorization to pursue three more fiscal years of funding.

1350
01:49:08,410 --> 01:49:20,750
And if awarded, that would increase the current allocation to, it would increase $322,000,

1351
01:49:21,690 --> 01:49:27,230
bringing the grant total for the allocation to $532,699.

1352
01:49:32,660 --> 01:49:40,640
The idea behind this is that if awarded, and we are confident that we'll get these three years

1353
01:49:40,640 --> 01:49:47,640
when we actually submit, but having a bigger part of the money for very low and low income

1354
01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:54,280
housing is going to be, it's going to be definitely a track to develop that actually has

1355
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:59,240
the capital and the way with all to start a project from start to end.

1356
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:28,640
And with some of the other developments that we have in the pipeline, there will be multiple opportunities for potential partnerships. But at the end of the day, if we don't succeed there, we do have the opportunity to, you know, partner with someone like Yolo County on a joint project. If we can't find something within the city limits. And even partnering with Yolo wouldn't limit us to their jurisdiction or ours could land with them either one.

1357
01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:39,700
Anyway, continuing off with my staff report, the environmental assessment is that this

1358
01:50:39,700 --> 01:50:43,300
proposal is exempt from CEQA because it doesn't constitute a project.

1359
01:50:43,300 --> 01:50:48,580
It would be the contract or contracts or agreements that stem from the funding source

1360
01:50:48,580 --> 01:50:52,580
that would ultimately be evaluated by CEQA at a later date.

1361
01:50:54,450 --> 01:51:02,850
That is pretty much it on my staff report, unless Council members have questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

1362
01:51:04,890 --> 01:51:05,670
Yeah, I have a question.

1363
01:51:07,700 --> 01:51:10,460
Is there a time frame where we have to use this money by?

1364
01:51:11,100 --> 01:51:16,940
If we apply for it, we get it or we'll be there until we have a project that we need it for.

1365
01:51:17,440 --> 01:51:22,940
So we've technically already told the authority so to speak that we have a project.

1366
01:51:23,580 --> 01:51:28,220
So, for clarification, we're not changing our project scope at this time.

1367
01:51:30,260 --> 01:51:34,580
So, we're only against the timeline if we choose to change our project scope.

1368
01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:37,280
So, the project scope is remaining the same.

1369
01:51:37,440 --> 01:51:42,120
We just want to, with the level of the monetary value, so to speak.

1370
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:48,900
If we decide that we want to change our plan, we have to bring it back to them

1371
01:51:49,500 --> 01:51:59,900
with a new plan by June 30th and with not being the current plan, you know, we're confident

1372
01:51:59,900 --> 01:52:01,220
that this is a good path to take.

1373
01:52:03,020 --> 01:52:03,760
Thank you.

1374
01:52:04,660 --> 01:52:05,800
Any other questions?

1375
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:16,240
I'm optimistic that we'll find a partner and we can actually have to do a project.

1376
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:23,460
So that would be because we're still talking about the Stowe's 26-unit project, right?

1377
01:52:23,900 --> 01:52:24,120
Right.

1378
01:52:24,380 --> 01:52:29,600
But we don't necessarily have to hone it on that one site.

1379
01:52:30,340 --> 01:52:31,800
It could be other alternative sites.

1380
01:52:32,680 --> 01:52:36,260
And we do have some interest from some other companies.

1381
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:42,160
But until things are actually materializing, you know, a more productive fashion.

1382
01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:45,180
and I'll keep those names to myself.

1383
01:52:45,460 --> 01:52:46,680
Thank you.

1384
01:52:47,180 --> 01:52:48,080
Anyone else?

1385
01:52:52,210 --> 01:52:55,890
I'd like to open the public hearing at 20, 23 hours.

1386
01:52:58,120 --> 01:52:59,460
Is there any public comment?

1387
01:53:07,430 --> 01:53:07,570
Nope.

1388
01:53:07,790 --> 01:53:08,610
No comment.

1389
01:53:09,030 --> 01:53:11,730
And so I'm going to close the public hearing.

1390
01:53:13,290 --> 01:53:18,270
Are there any additional comments, or do I have motion?

1391
01:53:18,810 --> 01:53:19,250
I have motion.

1392
01:53:20,630 --> 01:53:27,570
I would like to know that we adopt resolution 2025-29 approving the application for SB2

1393
01:53:27,570 --> 01:53:30,730
prevent local housing allocation program funds.

1394
01:53:31,490 --> 01:53:32,170
Second.

1395
01:53:33,050 --> 01:53:38,290
We have a motion from Mayor Propembiozi, a second from Councilmember Sianna.

1396
01:53:38,830 --> 01:53:40,270
All those in favor please say aye.

1397
01:53:40,410 --> 01:53:40,530
Aye.

1398
01:53:40,770 --> 01:53:40,910
Aye.

1399
01:53:41,390 --> 01:53:42,150
All those opposed.

1400
01:53:43,210 --> 01:53:44,310
Measure passes.

1401
01:53:44,830 --> 01:53:45,570
Thank you.

1402
01:53:45,970 --> 01:53:47,270
Moving right along.

1403
01:53:48,550 --> 01:53:53,990
Public hearing regarding City of Winters fee schedule update and resolution number

1404
01:53:53,990 --> 01:54:02,150
2025-30 adopting fees and charges for certain services provided by the City of Winters.

1405
01:54:04,140 --> 01:54:06,600
Good evening, Mayor and Council members.

1406
01:54:06,900 --> 01:54:12,360
I'm here today before you buy information regarding the update to the fees but the City

1407
01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:18,500
of Winters charges to its residents for services we provide and just follow a little bit

1408
01:54:18,500 --> 01:54:27,380
the background in 2027, our 2017 Missy undertook a few study and found that study if he

1409
01:54:27,380 --> 01:54:40,240
schedule was adopted in 2021 Resolution 2021 specified the method how those fees would

1410
01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:46,420
be increased year-per-year for those services that we provide so I'm here today to give

1411
01:54:46,420 --> 01:54:50,260
a little bit of background on that and the proposal moving forward and what we're asking

1412
01:54:50,260 --> 01:54:54,520
you to approve until Resolution 2025 starting.

1413
01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:59,680
So the update to the piece schedule is done.

1414
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:29,680
And two steps, most schedules. Schedules A, B, D, E, and F are increased each year by the year, the year increase in the consumer price index as measured in December. And this year, that increase was 2.9%. So those schedules, the recommendation is to approve them. There's one addition and that is on schedule D, which is the police fee schedule. The change there is that in

1415
01:55:29,680 --> 01:55:36,880
And in 2022, Council are added, considered carry weapon permitting to a fee schedule.

1416
01:55:37,580 --> 01:55:43,540
And that was because processing of those permits will move from your county to the police

1417
01:55:43,540 --> 01:55:44,160
department.

1418
01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:51,640
Since then, there have been some changes in the law, especially under SB2, and the mandates

1419
01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:54,660
that are required of the police department have increased.

1420
01:55:54,660 --> 01:56:01,400
A new education is on the fee schedule, which covers some fees that were not previously

1421
01:56:01,400 --> 01:56:03,480
represented on a fee schedule.

1422
01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:09,780
And those are things that are mandated by the state or the Department of Judges justice

1423
01:56:09,780 --> 01:56:14,160
and the processing of the permits through the police department.

1424
01:56:14,300 --> 01:56:18,400
Those are fees we collect and we pass those through for the services being provided there.

1425
01:56:18,560 --> 01:56:21,080
So we've updated those on the fee schedule.

1426
01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:26,860
and that is inclusive in the proposal before you tonight.

1427
01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:31,060
The other three schedule is for engineering and public works

1428
01:56:31,060 --> 01:56:37,300
and that schedule C and that increase is updated by the engineering,

1429
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:41,120
excuse me,

1430
01:56:41,940 --> 01:56:47,960
that is updated by the engineering is record construction cost index

1431
01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:52,480
As measured year-to-year in December for the San Francisco area,

1432
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:54,380
initially there was no increase.

1433
01:56:54,540 --> 01:56:57,780
However, on those schedules, we have made one change,

1434
01:56:57,780 --> 01:57:01,080
and that is two, three line items that include

1435
01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:05,220
the direct cost of the installation of a wild meter.

1436
01:57:05,540 --> 01:57:09,180
And over the years, the cost of that has increased $253.

1437
01:57:09,780 --> 01:57:12,680
So we've included that in that pre-schedule,

1438
01:57:12,820 --> 01:57:15,360
but other than that, there has no increase in fee.

1439
01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:21,700
So before you are asking that you hold a public hearing regarding the increase to fees and

1440
01:57:22,760 --> 01:57:30,040
adopt the recommended staff increases to the fee schedule and I am opening any questions

1441
01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:30,640
you may have.

1442
01:57:36,600 --> 01:57:39,520
It looks like there's no questions come up here at

1443
01:57:42,780 --> 01:57:45,080
the 2028 I'd like to open the public

1444
01:57:45,080 --> 01:57:46,620
hearing there

1445
01:57:51,140 --> 01:57:55,780
are none of those the public hearing do

1446
01:57:58,080 --> 01:57:58,620
I have a motion.

1447
01:58:00,680 --> 01:58:04,480
I have a discussion before we go there.

1448
01:58:06,260 --> 01:58:07,240
No, no, you can't do that.

1449
01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:15,780
I wanted to bring up on our recreation updates, the fees that we have there for some of

1450
01:58:15,780 --> 01:58:17,560
the facilities that we use.

1451
01:58:18,320 --> 01:58:24,660
I mean, we've talked about it a little bit at our strategic planning about like changes to

1452
01:58:24,660 --> 01:58:29,480
what we could charge non-residents for, you know, the difference between what a resident

1453
01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:36,920
pays for use of a city facility versus a non-resident, but this be a time that we could look at

1454
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:40,920
adjusting some of those, or I would say that we would bring back.

1455
01:58:42,820 --> 01:58:47,720
You're looking to bring that back because that would technically be a new fee for a different

1456
01:58:47,720 --> 01:58:48,340
category.

1457
01:58:50,300 --> 01:58:57,640
If it was we are looking into way more fees also for nonprofit use of the community center

1458
01:58:57,640 --> 01:59:02,420
and so if that would be that we bring those discussions back and the recommendation back

1459
01:59:02,420 --> 01:59:03,020
at that time.

1460
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:03,540
Okay.

1461
01:59:03,900 --> 01:59:04,240
Thank you.

1462
01:59:06,260 --> 01:59:12,700
I have a quick question about animal control has, you know, we need to provide services to

1463
01:59:12,700 --> 01:59:13,200
our community.

1464
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:16,340
Has animal control ever been considered as part of those fees?

1465
01:59:16,340 --> 01:59:17,420
Just wondering.

1466
01:59:19,800 --> 01:59:20,820
Not that I'm aware.

1467
01:59:20,820 --> 01:59:31,070
my tenure. No, they've not. Thank you for you asking about changing when this fee here,

1468
01:59:31,090 --> 01:59:38,630
the Community Center, out of town. Yeah. So would that be a new fee or could we? Could we adjust

1469
01:59:38,630 --> 01:59:44,230
it if it's already on there? Should we recommend changes if it's a fee that's there? 18,

1470
01:59:47,270 --> 01:59:48,530
18 of 18.

1471
01:59:52,300 --> 01:59:59,640
You could change the non-profit per hour fee and the outer town.

1472
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:08,140
You could not adjust it higher. I mean, it doesn't sound like you're doing that, but you could move it lower, if you'd like.

1473
02:00:12,560 --> 02:00:33,180
Where I was thinking more of raising the fee to the out of town, rather than lowering the resident fee was what I was considering. Then that would be considered a fee increase that would have to come back at a later time. I mean, this fee is like for the community center rental. Are we covering our costs on those?

1474
02:00:33,180 --> 02:00:39,040
So please do know I don't have all the data as I said here but I can get back to you on that okay

1475
02:00:39,040 --> 02:00:42,820
I'm just curious because I mean we have these feet on there for use and

1476
02:00:44,280 --> 02:00:49,220
Poor our fee of $122 and then we have to have staff there and there's a lot of yeah

1477
02:00:49,220 --> 02:00:54,680
It's very if you'd like to take a quick poll of the rest of counsel if you'd like to be have that item brought back for discussion

1478
02:00:54,680 --> 02:01:01,480
We can do that analysis and bring back that discussion of recreation fees related to non-resident time for it

1479
02:01:01,480 --> 02:01:26,590
Yeah, I'm for it. Yeah, yeah. We will do that. Thanks. All right, quick question on the you mentioned concealed case on looked at it. Um, I know they're the life scans have gotten more expensive and they'll cost why not looking at the modification or duplicate so you're adding a handgun or getting a duplicate permit if you lose it.

1480
02:01:27,670 --> 02:01:29,210
Why did that more than double?

1481
02:01:31,430 --> 02:01:34,170
It's the cost of processing it through.

1482
02:01:34,490 --> 02:01:37,910
So when the police department took on this task,

1483
02:01:38,370 --> 02:01:43,610
it was singular nature and now as SB2 has come in the place

1484
02:01:43,610 --> 02:01:46,990
and some of the more stricter requirements have been applied.

1485
02:01:47,230 --> 02:01:49,930
The cost of processing that through the department

1486
02:01:49,930 --> 02:01:52,450
has also increased the total number of hours

1487
02:01:53,230 --> 02:01:55,030
and the limitation.

1488
02:01:55,030 --> 02:02:01,670
I know that the chief is still here, yes he is still here so if you have specific questions

1489
02:02:01,670 --> 02:02:08,530
about that I'm sure he can also answer that but the fee is intended to address issues

1490
02:02:08,530 --> 02:02:15,130
that were not perceived or not in place or not required at the time that we put the

1491
02:02:15,130 --> 02:02:23,030
consul weapons permit fee process on our schedule when our police department took it over

1492
02:02:23,030 --> 02:02:23,750
from the county.

1493
02:02:24,250 --> 02:02:30,870
There's an SP2, um, change the process for adding affidavit to an existing permit.

1494
02:02:33,240 --> 02:02:35,780
I'll defer that to ignore that.

1495
02:02:35,860 --> 02:02:40,020
It carries my lunch from 16 to 39, which is very nominal, but

1496
02:02:44,310 --> 02:02:45,610
it's good to answer the

1497
02:02:46,350 --> 02:02:46,830
question.

1498
02:02:47,010 --> 02:02:52,150
The SP2 didn't address that specific, but, um, when we first think of one of this process,

1499
02:02:52,370 --> 02:02:54,110
we'll be honest with you.

1500
02:02:54,170 --> 02:02:58,250
We're the cheapest in the county for the reason is we estimate how much time was going to

1501
02:02:58,250 --> 02:03:04,910
be involved because we're brand new to the process where we have found is especially in

1502
02:03:04,910 --> 02:03:12,070
the amendments, we apply one gentleman who has five amendments to his one CCW and we

1503
02:03:12,070 --> 02:03:17,550
are not accurately capturing the reasonable cost that it costs to do it. So that's why

1504
02:03:17,550 --> 02:03:21,890
I want particular consent, you know, really brought to attention, but there are so few people

1505
02:03:21,890 --> 02:03:25,550
who have asked for amendments and additions and such like that and it's just, it has

1506
02:03:25,550 --> 02:03:29,030
product to us. Also, we're just getting up right now as we're at that two-year mark,

1507
02:03:29,190 --> 02:03:33,150
where the renewals are all coming to. So we're just getting hammered with all the renewals.

1508
02:03:33,890 --> 02:03:36,570
Makes sense. Thank you.

1509
02:03:41,530 --> 02:03:45,890
Did you do make motion? No. No, we haven't got there. We haven't got there yet.

1510
02:03:45,890 --> 02:03:47,670
The caravan's...

1511
02:03:52,150 --> 02:04:00,890
Before was there any other fees for silly use stuff that you wanted to maybe discuss along with the outtown?

1512
02:04:01,670 --> 02:04:04,050
We were going to look at all the recreation fees I think.

1513
02:04:05,290 --> 02:04:08,490
Was what we discussed bringing back.

1514
02:04:08,670 --> 02:04:10,290
Look at all non-resident fees.

1515
02:04:11,030 --> 02:04:13,670
Whatever we have listed in adjusting or adding.

1516
02:04:13,670 --> 02:04:18,210
for a recreation. I don't know that category for the recreation fees.

1517
02:04:21,240 --> 02:04:22,960
I'm for it. Let's do it.

1518
02:04:23,460 --> 02:04:29,880
And to clarify, you're asking staff to come back with updates to specifically facility

1519
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:32,600
rentals under a schedule of recreation updates.

1520
02:04:33,040 --> 02:04:33,640
Yes.

1521
02:04:34,060 --> 02:04:35,080
Thank you.

1522
02:04:37,260 --> 02:04:37,860
Councillor.

1523
02:04:39,920 --> 02:04:46,860
Can we also do park area non-resident fees,

1524
02:04:49,370 --> 02:04:51,590
there's park area rentals non-resident, too.

1525
02:04:51,830 --> 02:04:53,590
That's in the recreation section.

1526
02:04:53,590 --> 02:04:56,490
and sexism, the fluctuation, anything that's in the recreation.

1527
02:05:04,690 --> 02:05:14,510
That would be included in the future discussion. Councillor, do we continue this item? No, you will

1528
02:05:14,510 --> 02:05:23,370
adopt the recommendation to adopt the resolution as is and then as at a subsequent meeting,

1529
02:05:23,370 --> 02:05:32,530
there could be discussion of revisions to the staff at that time. So as stated, it becomes a separate item, essentially.

1530
02:05:34,270 --> 02:05:39,790
We are looking at the resolution as stated in the packet tonight, anything in the future

1531
02:05:39,790 --> 02:05:42,110
would be a separate item to amend.

1532
02:05:42,810 --> 02:05:47,530
It's more like an approving the increases that are noted as the representative and the

1533
02:05:47,530 --> 02:05:48,190
proposed fee.

1534
02:05:48,470 --> 02:05:50,430
We're going to be looking at voting on that.

1535
02:05:50,870 --> 02:05:51,090
Okay.

1536
02:05:51,330 --> 02:05:52,470
Thank you.

1537
02:05:54,080 --> 02:05:56,960
So still need a motion?

1538
02:05:57,160 --> 02:05:57,620
Thank you.

1539
02:05:57,840 --> 02:05:58,920
I'd like to appeal the resolution.

1540
02:06:06,140 --> 02:06:09,200
We have a motion by Councilwoman Sianna,

1541
02:06:11,230 --> 02:06:13,590
second by Councilwoman Lauren.

1542
02:06:15,350 --> 02:06:16,530
All those in favor, please say aye.

1543
02:06:16,990 --> 02:06:17,150
Aye.

1544
02:06:17,150 --> 02:06:20,810
Hi, motion passed.

1545
02:06:28,390 --> 02:06:32,290
Item C, we already completed earlier.

1546
02:06:34,130 --> 02:06:36,090
The public hearing,

1547
02:06:41,880 --> 02:06:46,600
public hearing and reporting on C winters of vacancies and recruitment,

1548
02:06:47,060 --> 02:06:49,020
recruitment and retention efforts.

1549
02:06:51,990 --> 02:06:53,100
Thank you, Mayor.

1550
02:06:53,200 --> 02:06:55,980
This evening you receive a presentation from Kathy.

1551
02:06:55,980 --> 02:07:02,400
this is a new requirement under AB 2561 this has no cost according to the bill

1552
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:08,600
so there's no recovery from the state but these times are free but this is

1553
02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:11,580
a new requirement that we'll have to and we present this public hearing to the

1554
02:07:11,580 --> 02:07:13,020
council this is the first one

1555
02:07:15,770 --> 02:07:22,160
I'm not sure what I thought it is our state

1556
02:07:37,780 --> 02:07:52,920
Okay, perfect. Well, we're all good. Oh, yeah, thanks for having me back. I'm here tonight to talk about AB 2561 presentation regarding the vacancies and recruitment. It's a new requirement.

1557
02:07:52,920 --> 02:07:53,840
under the law.

1558
02:07:56,480 --> 02:07:59,700
You might want to close the microphone so we can hear it a little better.

1559
02:08:00,860 --> 02:08:06,380
Is that better? Much better. Thank you. I've got to come back here because I'm short and so I have to be able to see the top of the screen.

1560
02:08:07,080 --> 02:08:13,740
So the legislature declared that a highway can see where it's lead to heavy workloads, burnout, increased traffic load,

1561
02:08:13,740 --> 02:08:38,740
and negatively impacting services, and as a result, AB 2561 was signed into line, it had certain requirements for cities like Winters to hold a public hearing and to provide information regarding the vacancies and recruitment and strategies in the city related to our employees.

1562
02:08:38,740 --> 02:08:46,800
So, the requirements under AB 2561 is that we do have this public hearing presentation,

1563
02:08:47,160 --> 02:08:55,020
and if any of our bargaining units have, they can see, like, over 20% that after request,

1564
02:08:55,360 --> 02:08:58,680
we would have to provide additional information as well.

1565
02:08:58,680 --> 02:09:07,240
Now, many of our student bucketing units have, they can see in excess or equal to 20%.

1566
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:12,700
This is how our units look like right now.

1567
02:09:12,820 --> 02:09:18,000
The number one is one senior at the end of the prior calendar year.

1568
02:09:18,400 --> 02:09:21,800
So this is an extension of December of 2024.

1569
02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:26,600
And as you can see, the Miscellaneous Employees Association

1570
02:09:26,600 --> 02:09:29,820
had the highest percentage of vacancies.

1571
02:09:30,500 --> 02:09:34,620
That's a 10 employee unit,

1572
02:09:34,720 --> 02:09:38,700
and they had one vacancy at the summer of 2024.

1573
02:09:39,560 --> 02:09:42,060
And well, of course, we'll be management and firefighters

1574
02:09:42,060 --> 02:09:44,480
which have no vacancies at that time.

1575
02:09:44,680 --> 02:09:48,040
Please, had a vacancy in the unrepresented group

1576
02:09:48,040 --> 02:09:55,680
which includes management, confidential employees, and department heads have one vacancy.

1577
02:09:56,420 --> 02:09:59,640
So the overall city line vacancy.

1578
02:10:05,080 --> 02:10:29,840
We do look at vacancies, month over month, so the vacancy rates are still definite. Showing the number of vacancies that were created. Month and then the number of vacancies that were deemed and the full-time equivalence. That changed throughout the year because we have seasonal employees that come and go through failure and

1579
02:10:29,840 --> 02:10:36,420
And employees consider any iteration of an employee, so the community center needs to have

1580
02:10:36,420 --> 02:10:41,980
three employees, and now they have two, and they just have additional hours that still

1581
02:10:41,980 --> 02:10:44,040
counts as one employee body.

1582
02:10:44,860 --> 02:10:54,500
So the average was 5.3% to figure out the highest month was November, and that's a 4.4%

1583
02:10:54,500 --> 02:10:55,900
And the lowest wasn't June.

1584
02:10:59,280 --> 02:11:03,780
As we continue at vacancies and recruitment efforts,

1585
02:11:04,180 --> 02:11:06,660
we want to have plenty of understanding

1586
02:11:06,660 --> 02:11:09,980
that recruitment is about identifying and talking

1587
02:11:09,980 --> 02:11:13,020
and hiring the right people for the civil matters

1588
02:11:13,020 --> 02:11:15,840
and the positions that we have available of that.

1589
02:11:16,200 --> 02:11:18,380
That can be a challenging aspect here,

1590
02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:20,940
because we are small and our employees

1591
02:11:20,940 --> 02:11:25,120
with a lot of hats and then accomplish lots of goals

1592
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:34,060
and they have to lean on a lot of background and abilities in order to do the many different

1593
02:11:34,060 --> 02:11:38,980
tasks that they're asked to do, and in the area of retention it's about keeping employees

1594
02:11:38,980 --> 02:11:42,920
engaged, satisfied, and committed long-term.

1595
02:11:44,320 --> 02:11:50,000
So another thing that we've created here in the city of Winters is that one of the things

1596
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:54,220
and it seems created because an individual has left the city.

1597
02:11:55,100 --> 02:11:56,920
And it's important to remember that

1598
02:11:57,380 --> 02:12:00,640
although we have had long-term means of absence,

1599
02:12:00,640 --> 02:12:03,080
which affect us greatly because oftentimes

1600
02:12:03,080 --> 02:12:07,340
there's one seat in an entire discipline.

1601
02:12:07,920 --> 02:12:09,260
That is not a lake and sea,

1602
02:12:09,420 --> 02:12:11,480
and they can see it's created when an employee

1603
02:12:12,080 --> 02:12:15,780
leaves the jungle and when they're put in a little retire,

1604
02:12:15,780 --> 02:12:20,000
there, they transfer to another position,

1605
02:12:20,420 --> 02:12:22,880
or they take a job someplace else.

1606
02:12:23,300 --> 02:12:24,940
That is a vacancy.

1607
02:12:25,220 --> 02:12:26,440
So I mean, you can see it's created.

1608
02:12:26,700 --> 02:12:30,740
We are in the private nature by using the department head

1609
02:12:30,740 --> 02:12:34,080
and there's a discussion about the vacancy that's created

1610
02:12:34,080 --> 02:12:37,940
and the process for which we're going to plot the two,

1611
02:12:38,020 --> 02:12:41,480
try to recruit somebody for that position.

1612
02:12:42,300 --> 02:12:43,600
And then the job is posted.

1613
02:12:43,600 --> 02:12:51,260
Let me get the applications in, even at the end of the advertised recruiting cycle, or

1614
02:12:51,260 --> 02:12:58,420
for ongoing cycles and recruitment, whatever we have stated would be the first review

1615
02:12:58,420 --> 02:12:59,340
of the application.

1616
02:12:59,620 --> 02:13:05,660
This week, I put an application screening process based upon the criteria that we will establish

1617
02:13:05,660 --> 02:13:07,920
through the position of trying to show,

1618
02:13:08,280 --> 02:13:13,520
and then that leads to counting the areas of the top group,

1619
02:13:13,780 --> 02:13:15,500
the group of eight individuals in that,

1620
02:13:16,200 --> 02:13:19,780
and then from that conditional checkboxer is given

1621
02:13:19,780 --> 02:13:22,620
and then made into pre-employment process now.

1622
02:13:23,140 --> 02:13:27,060
This can be as quick as two weeks for public safety

1623
02:13:27,060 --> 02:13:30,520
who has a much more stringent and drawn out.

1624
02:13:31,140 --> 02:13:33,600
We view it can take months to get home

1625
02:13:33,600 --> 02:13:38,140
found the conditional job offering to the last step is placement in the job.

1626
02:13:41,620 --> 02:13:48,740
So for recruitment summary for 2024, there are 10 vacancies created with 12 job postings

1627
02:13:48,740 --> 02:13:55,100
indicating that some of the job postings we have were filled and we have two weeks established

1628
02:13:55,100 --> 02:14:02,240
another recruitment with 233 applications received and we filled 7 vacancies.

1629
02:14:03,200 --> 02:14:11,720
It's notable that one of the vacancies that have been listed is that the police sergeant,

1630
02:14:11,840 --> 02:14:18,860
and that has been making since September of 2024, and as activity will still not feel beautiful.

1631
02:14:19,640 --> 02:14:29,360
Multiple times about the challenges that Chief Miller has in attracting, retaining, and recruiting officers,

1632
02:14:29,360 --> 02:14:31,620
It's difficult across the state.

1633
02:14:31,860 --> 02:14:38,160
It's even difficult here in the city of New England.

1634
02:14:39,160 --> 02:14:42,380
So the media time to fill an expansion.

1635
02:14:42,580 --> 02:14:43,800
They can see an expansion.

1636
02:14:44,020 --> 02:14:48,580
They can see, as well, that we are recruiting both internally and externally.

1637
02:14:49,180 --> 02:14:56,500
And we're trying to use a broad spectrum of platforms to engage applicants with the city.

1638
02:14:56,500 --> 02:14:58,500
It's about 37 days.

1639
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:29,780
We've even looked at that in 2025, that would be a longer period of time because we've had police officers and accountants, and those positions are very difficult to fill these days in the city of California and also in the city of Winters. So the minimum time to fill focus vacancies, and those vacancies that we're filling internally, is zero days in that zone, because we had a full time employer go to

1640
02:15:29,780 --> 02:15:36,300
a part time slot that became available, and in the middle of time to fill on-going, they can see,

1641
02:15:36,440 --> 02:15:40,800
it's not going, but going, but can see, this one that we recognize is going to be difficult

1642
02:15:40,800 --> 02:15:47,720
to fill, and so we place the equipment as ongoing and difficult, and we periodically check

1643
02:15:47,720 --> 02:15:52,060
the pool of applicants that are coming in, we go through the screening process, we see if

1644
02:15:52,060 --> 02:15:59,540
we can find somebody who can fill position, and it has been difficult here. Two of the positions

1645
02:15:59,540 --> 02:16:05,600
so that we're most problematic with that of plan and being built in a position and

1646
02:16:05,600 --> 02:16:10,760
it can attribute that to that as a within seat department, there are a lot of disciplines

1647
02:16:10,760 --> 02:16:18,120
that are required, and there are not a lot of applicants in the job pool.

1648
02:16:19,420 --> 02:16:25,100
And so that was very difficult, so quite a lot of those positions will contract later.

1649
02:16:26,620 --> 02:16:28,440
Kathy, I have a question, if that's okay.

1650
02:16:28,740 --> 02:16:28,860
Yes.

1651
02:16:29,260 --> 02:16:33,600
When we filled those with contract labor, does that count as having that position filled?

1652
02:16:34,300 --> 02:16:34,820
Yes.

1653
02:16:35,100 --> 02:16:41,280
So, when we fill out that position is no longer vacant, and that helps us being filled.

1654
02:16:41,480 --> 02:16:43,280
So, no, that counts again to spuddy.

1655
02:16:44,020 --> 02:16:52,640
We did have 42 days of trying to fill some of those positions.

1656
02:16:52,640 --> 02:16:57,500
the plan was a little bit short, but the building official was quite lengthy.

1657
02:17:00,690 --> 02:17:05,130
So the recruitment and retention challenges and opportunities, I don't have many policy

1658
02:17:05,750 --> 02:17:12,190
recommendations today for anything that is prohibiting us from recruitment and retention efforts

1659
02:17:12,190 --> 02:17:18,050
and trying within the city, those are things that we looked at as we go through some of these processes.

1660
02:17:18,050 --> 02:17:24,230
But we have to identify challenges and opportunities that exist.

1661
02:17:24,450 --> 02:17:29,590
And one of the most, uh, the first one for us is the base rate of pay, uh, the city

1662
02:17:29,590 --> 02:17:30,210
and wind terms.

1663
02:17:30,750 --> 02:17:37,930
The base rate of pay is an indicator that applicants look at first and foremost, and they make

1664
02:17:37,930 --> 02:17:45,010
a decision at that point to apply on the line to the next recruitment advertisement that's

1665
02:17:45,010 --> 02:17:45,450
out there.

1666
02:17:45,450 --> 02:17:53,190
Our total compensation is not, is, is, is great.

1667
02:17:53,690 --> 02:17:58,490
We offer these innocent winter things that are not offered in a lot of cities.

1668
02:17:59,110 --> 02:18:02,890
And that makes up the difference often times.

1669
02:18:03,510 --> 02:18:10,130
Offer package and relationship to benefits is very, very, very heavy.

1670
02:18:10,130 --> 02:18:19,430
But the applicant that's looking to fill the position is a fantastic or disengaged son

1671
02:18:19,430 --> 02:18:23,610
that is based on the pay and that was identified through the class and come studying the first

1672
02:18:23,610 --> 02:18:29,090
of the cities that were undergone and that was a good and important in that class and come

1673
02:18:29,090 --> 02:18:35,590
to study the difference between based with the pay at the city of Winters and at the campaigns

1674
02:18:35,590 --> 02:18:42,290
whether those are geographical or by size and they're how we excel in memory.

1675
02:18:42,730 --> 02:18:44,530
So that brings the total comp up.

1676
02:18:44,650 --> 02:18:48,290
But that doesn't help us in the area of recruitment often.

1677
02:18:49,770 --> 02:18:53,730
We have geographical competitors that are around us

1678
02:18:53,730 --> 02:19:00,350
that are not really our counterparts in size and per capita revenue.

1679
02:19:00,350 --> 02:19:12,750
that there are competitors because they're geographical and it's not a constraint from employees that are here to go outwards into those areas to work for employment.

1680
02:19:13,190 --> 02:19:29,290
We have merge competitors and if you every day you go to the recruiting platform, you will see that likewise we're recruiting for officers and sergeants and accountants and planners

1681
02:19:29,290 --> 02:19:30,550
and those kinds of things.

1682
02:19:31,610 --> 02:19:33,590
That's a challenge for us.

1683
02:19:33,930 --> 02:19:36,970
Promotional opportunities where small-seat departments

1684
02:19:36,970 --> 02:19:41,370
can be in one seat, if individuals

1685
02:19:41,370 --> 02:19:44,250
are looking for positions or looking for a place

1686
02:19:44,250 --> 02:19:48,210
where they can learn, be mentored, and then be promoted.

1687
02:19:49,090 --> 02:19:51,190
They may not look at the city of mentors

1688
02:19:51,190 --> 02:19:54,550
just because of their size, and most opportunities

1689
02:19:54,550 --> 02:19:57,230
are not inherently sheer in the abundance

1690
02:19:57,230 --> 02:19:59,530
that they would be an immortal journey.

1691
02:20:00,880 --> 02:20:29,860
And then I mentioned that we put people with the discipline, experience, knowledge and skills to fill a job that we may build. They're just not out there. They're winners, and they're not in other cities as it's just a challenge. And then, small city, smaller cities, so we can be as big of a draw for somebody younger into the workforce. They're looking for, you know,

1692
02:20:29,860 --> 02:20:37,820
place to be but the City of Wales has so many things to offer that we need to do a better

1693
02:20:37,820 --> 02:20:43,800
job of making sure that we highlight those things that will allow you to join in and grant me

1694
02:20:44,380 --> 02:20:49,420
beneficial to any employee and they get those here in the City of Wales so that's one of

1695
02:20:49,420 --> 02:20:53,980
the things that we can do much better. We did one of the good class and comm study and that

1696
02:20:54,940 --> 02:21:06,580
We're looking at it and trying to take steps to determine how we can mitigate the fact that we have very high benefits versus a road that is ready to pay.

1697
02:21:07,080 --> 02:21:14,320
That's a presentation problem. It's not a compensation problem, but we have to get through that piece, we'll get through that piece.

1698
02:21:14,320 --> 02:21:27,600
Many of us really may have counseled by staff giving a past and in place helps us as a small city that does not have the same per capita revenue inflow.

1699
02:21:28,060 --> 02:21:39,300
Of counterparts would have that revenue inflow per capita is what helps us to do us carpet compensation in the city, so that was very important.

1700
02:21:40,180 --> 02:21:46,080
Colleague development and employee recognition, targeted recruitment strategies, we've started

1701
02:21:46,080 --> 02:21:52,440
to apply those and I have to say that the addition in the city of Winters with some of

1702
02:21:52,440 --> 02:22:00,420
over as the HR technician and Doug Lee and Aguilar and the father have been instrumental in

1703
02:22:00,420 --> 02:22:01,280
helping him out.

1704
02:22:01,340 --> 02:22:06,420
I agree with the targeted recruitment strategies, really being able to apply on the recruitment

1705
02:22:06,420 --> 02:22:08,760
side and maybe be made a difference.

1706
02:22:08,760 --> 02:22:14,760
So, I just want to say a good job about those individuals and the work life balance,

1707
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:20,760
which here in the city of Lincoln's is one of the things that I think employers come

1708
02:22:20,760 --> 02:22:22,080
for and they stay for.

1709
02:22:24,110 --> 02:22:32,410
So, the 20th, 25th retention summary, that's just a recap of how our employees lack.

1710
02:22:32,970 --> 02:22:38,850
So, some of those were voluntary separation, two were involuntary separation and then we

1711
02:22:38,850 --> 02:22:45,630
We have one internal transfer, and another monetary separation that began with that could

1712
02:22:45,630 --> 02:22:50,590
be in the left for a city with some poor reason.

1713
02:22:51,650 --> 02:22:58,790
We know that some left because they need debtors out of state, or they got married and wanted

1714
02:22:58,790 --> 02:23:05,450
to be closer to home, there are married reasons for that, but 70 percent of what you can see

1715
02:23:05,450 --> 02:23:11,330
is related to employees voluntarily determining to leave the city.

1716
02:23:12,960 --> 02:23:19,250
So key take of the city aggressively recruits for vacant positions, addressing hard-to-file

1717
02:23:19,250 --> 02:23:25,230
vacancies requires multifaceted approach and you see that applied in the decision that

1718
02:23:25,230 --> 02:23:35,430
was made to fill hard-to-fill positions with contract like we did for both of them.

1719
02:23:35,430 --> 02:23:42,910
and for planning. And then the both chiefs have been very instrumental and the recruitments

1720
02:23:42,910 --> 02:23:53,250
come up in their areas that they identify areas where we can do recruitments. Those recruitment

1721
02:23:54,190 --> 02:24:00,110
advertisements are geared specifically for that platform. And I can say that the last couple

1722
02:24:00,110 --> 02:24:03,410
of recruitments that we've had with that application,

1723
02:24:03,750 --> 02:24:06,630
I believe the defined presence to recruit

1724
02:24:06,630 --> 02:24:08,310
has been fruitful.

1725
02:24:09,170 --> 02:24:11,230
So that's good, that engagement with that.

1726
02:24:11,790 --> 02:24:12,850
Chiefs is good also.

1727
02:24:13,490 --> 02:24:16,130
Then classifications have been 15 and a more appealing

1728
02:24:16,130 --> 02:24:19,310
and a time you go to look up for a new job.

1729
02:24:19,410 --> 02:24:21,330
If you're looking at the job classification,

1730
02:24:22,030 --> 02:24:26,130
if it looks like it's 30 years old and outdated,

1731
02:24:26,710 --> 02:24:29,530
that gives you a very specific impression

1732
02:24:29,530 --> 02:24:34,370
about where they're going, and so we've had some of those. We've had cost of occasions

1733
02:24:34,370 --> 02:24:42,550
that they were of more 20 years old. So it's been updated and they look at the presentation

1734
02:24:42,550 --> 02:24:48,890
as better and it is a more realistic representation of the cost of occasion and the duties you're

1735
02:24:48,890 --> 02:24:54,430
going to be asked to do when you come to work here at the city. So the city must continue

1736
02:24:54,430 --> 02:24:59,550
to that way and we're indicating the improvement of all the compensation because we know that.

1737
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:06,420
That also is a factor in decision-making for foreign police. And when the city of Winters,

1738
02:25:07,140 --> 02:25:19,420
this is an important impact on the city of Winters, is substantial. Very different than a city that might have five of those. And one leads.

1739
02:25:20,180 --> 02:25:29,040
Here, if we have one, and one, and that leads, we have a complete void. So we want to be mindful of that. But those were key takeaways for tonight.

1740
02:25:29,040 --> 02:25:34,920
And the recommendation is to conduct a public hearing regarding the City of Winters workforce

1741
02:25:34,920 --> 02:25:39,620
vacancies recruitment and retention trends and to receive and file this presentation.

1742
02:25:40,300 --> 02:25:42,620
And I don't know if there are any questions that you have.

1743
02:25:45,760 --> 02:25:46,360
Please go ahead.

1744
02:25:49,470 --> 02:25:55,130
At first I didn't realize how important AB 2561 would be.

1745
02:25:55,530 --> 02:26:01,670
Other agencies that I said on their boards, we've had this process but basically it's kind of a consent item

1746
02:26:01,670 --> 02:26:02,490
I'm like, here's the stuff.

1747
02:26:02,750 --> 02:26:05,210
So I really appreciate having a presentation on it.

1748
02:26:06,290 --> 02:26:10,510
But I was wondering, where can this information be found

1749
02:26:10,510 --> 02:26:11,270
after tonight?

1750
02:26:11,630 --> 02:26:14,350
So if somebody wants to work in the city of Winners

1751
02:26:14,350 --> 02:26:17,630
and they see that there's a really high rate of people

1752
02:26:17,630 --> 02:26:21,990
leaving voluntarily or so far, maybe they would judge

1753
02:26:21,990 --> 02:26:23,590
or have an impression of the city of Winners.

1754
02:26:23,750 --> 02:26:25,310
So where can this be found?

1755
02:26:25,590 --> 02:26:28,890
So this presentation will be posted on the website, probably

1756
02:26:28,890 --> 02:26:37,790
not tomorrow but Monday and it'll be under the HR portfolio along with the class and

1757
02:26:37,790 --> 02:26:42,690
cost study that's up. So they can find that information and you know, we have these

1758
02:26:42,690 --> 02:26:52,310
that some of these impacts in other municipalities, they're not as detrimental and here at the city

1759
02:26:52,310 --> 02:27:00,330
of winners because we are so, so tight and constrained and one employee makes all the difference

1760
02:27:00,330 --> 02:27:06,770
in the world. Chief Miller has been like I said since September trying to build a position

1761
02:27:06,770 --> 02:27:15,410
for the Sergeant and an officer position and he's in the throes of interviewing the recruitment

1762
02:27:15,410 --> 02:27:21,210
been interviewing testing process now, but we received notification of the

1763
02:27:21,210 --> 02:27:27,590
mother and officer who is going to be leaving the city. So that hurts, and that's a

1764
02:27:27,590 --> 02:27:34,170
large percentage of our police force. It hurts when the only accounting person,

1765
02:27:34,590 --> 02:27:42,330
you know, we don't have any high level of accounting management in the city, and it hurts

1766
02:27:42,330 --> 02:27:50,850
when we don't have a plan or a building official because those are revenue generating functionalities within the city.

1767
02:27:51,390 --> 02:27:58,970
So this is an important thing and it's always difficult for cities like Winters to grasp and look at.

1768
02:27:59,330 --> 02:28:06,450
But we're moving in the right direction with the class and comp study and getting understanding of our strengths and weaknesses,

1769
02:28:06,450 --> 02:28:13,030
what helps us in recruitment, and what helps us in retaining our current workforce,

1770
02:28:13,430 --> 02:28:18,770
and what we can do to improve that's important and that's the direction that we're going to go in.

1771
02:28:20,010 --> 02:28:21,550
Which leads me to retention.

1772
02:28:22,250 --> 02:28:24,410
And I really appreciate your comments.

1773
02:28:25,010 --> 02:28:27,450
I have a question about retention process.

1774
02:28:28,010 --> 02:28:33,990
Is there a process for retention that measures employee satisfaction, engagement, and commitment?

1775
02:28:33,990 --> 02:28:41,890
those were the values that were on the slide is a process to measure that. So we know there's not a form of process most

1776
02:28:43,510 --> 02:28:53,610
organizations institute an exit interview focus now. That is done effectively at the police department. It's not

1777
02:28:54,930 --> 02:29:00,510
followed through in other areas of the city. It's something that we are implementing. So we have a regular standard

1778
02:29:02,470 --> 02:29:10,230
Gaining and gaining information from individuals, especially individuals who choose to leave the city,

1779
02:29:10,510 --> 02:29:13,070
information that they have helps us.

1780
02:29:13,270 --> 02:29:20,130
We do get a resignation, typically, which gives the reasons that individuals are leaving,

1781
02:29:20,290 --> 02:29:26,030
but what it doesn't do is it doesn't drop down into what specific aspects

1782
02:29:26,030 --> 02:29:34,190
It's enticed you to go to another area, especially if they're moving to another city.

1783
02:29:34,310 --> 02:29:36,070
Now we can overcome everything.

1784
02:29:38,730 --> 02:29:44,950
I'm not here to say that we can compete with a very, very large city and a very,

1785
02:29:44,950 --> 02:29:46,570
very large revenue inflow.

1786
02:29:46,910 --> 02:29:51,770
But the high things that we can do, and having gleaming, understanding, and asking

1787
02:29:51,770 --> 02:29:55,830
you know, questions help us and we'll continue to help us.

1788
02:29:56,330 --> 02:29:59,590
So those are things that are in process.

1789
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:29,820
And, you know, I have to say city manager Craig has been at a lot of cities and he has a lot, a lot of knowledge on how to measure gather and then use data. And so as we start to implore the full word and start to engage, it will be helpful to us. I would just like to suggest that we have some way to measure retention. And I would just like to suggest, because of

1790
02:30:29,820 --> 02:30:38,260
experience that sometimes cities do when they have the review of the city manager they

1791
02:30:38,260 --> 02:30:46,740
do 360 and they ask employees questions that have to do with your satisfaction, engagement,

1792
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:52,620
commitment and duties. It would just be really nice if we've never done that to kind of have

1793
02:30:52,620 --> 02:30:57,700
a baseline for that. This is a suggestion. It's a good recommendation. Thank you.

1794
02:30:57,700 --> 02:30:58,600
Anyone

1795
02:31:01,610 --> 02:31:02,210
else?

1796
02:31:10,860 --> 02:31:18,600
Thank you. Mr. Mayor. If we just further record if the public hearing could

1797
02:31:18,600 --> 02:31:28,540
be considered to have started prior to miss Matthew's presentation, just because AB 2561

1798
02:31:28,540 --> 02:31:33,540
notes that this staff presentation occurred during the public hearing and I would just recommend

1799
02:31:33,540 --> 02:31:35,960
that for the rest of the day. Thank you.

1800
02:31:37,200 --> 02:31:40,600
You could certainly ask for public comment in accordance to the

1801
02:31:40,600 --> 02:31:42,680
amendment. Is there any public comment?

1802
02:31:49,680 --> 02:31:51,420
I see none. Close public

1803
02:31:51,420 --> 02:31:51,740
comment.

1804
02:31:56,580 --> 02:32:02,880
I'll move that item to motion to adopt resolution 2025

1805
02:32:03,440 --> 02:32:09,440
dash. No, no, no. It's just. Yeah. It's so close. Retention

1806
02:32:09,440 --> 02:32:13,080
In recruitment efforts, you can staff as stated.

1807
02:32:15,270 --> 02:32:15,870
We have motion?

1808
02:32:16,370 --> 02:32:18,790
This is a motion.

1809
02:32:18,830 --> 02:32:19,670
I will ask the motion.

1810
02:32:19,870 --> 02:32:20,210
Required.

1811
02:32:20,850 --> 02:32:21,110
Thank you.

1812
02:32:21,510 --> 02:32:22,590
Just try to tidy it up.

1813
02:32:26,380 --> 02:32:27,380
That's a no motion.

1814
02:32:27,680 --> 02:32:28,360
I need to go around this.

1815
02:32:29,380 --> 02:32:30,820
No, just any closing work.

1816
02:32:31,400 --> 02:32:33,580
Yes, I'm closing the public hearing.

1817
02:32:33,700 --> 02:32:38,060
If there was anything, the only requirement for the public hearing

1818
02:32:38,060 --> 02:32:42,400
was to identify any changes to any policies or recruitment

1819
02:32:42,400 --> 02:32:48,260
and efforts or retention efforts and you have satisfied that requirement.

1820
02:32:48,660 --> 02:32:50,920
So the only thing left would be to close the public hearing.

1821
02:32:56,110 --> 02:32:57,450
Let's close the public hearing.

1822
02:32:57,770 --> 02:32:58,130
I

1823
02:33:02,670 --> 02:33:03,770
think we've reached the end.

1824
02:33:07,600 --> 02:33:09,700
We have a city manager's report to see me.

1825
02:33:10,220 --> 02:33:11,500
No report to see me, Mayor.

1826
02:33:12,300 --> 02:33:12,860
Aw, come on.

1827
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:14,460
Really?

1828
02:33:17,260 --> 02:33:17,920
You sure?

1829
02:33:18,640 --> 02:33:18,940
Yes.

1830
02:33:19,780 --> 02:33:21,440
We've had enough presentations for the evening.

1831
02:33:22,520 --> 02:33:26,000
Yeah, I'm working kind of fucking good.

1832
02:33:26,620 --> 02:33:27,220
Got a plane?

1833
02:33:28,680 --> 02:33:29,600
What was that?

1834
02:33:30,440 --> 02:33:31,140
I joined the meeting.

1835
02:33:34,220 --> 02:33:34,780
104.
