[0:00] When there's two orders, roll call, please. Good evening, council member Ciana, council member Warren, here, council member Casa Vecca, Mayor Potembiasi, Mayor vice, here.

[0:14] Thank you.

[0:20] Miss Gil and Waver, would you lead us in the pledge of allegiance?

[0:40] Thank you.

[0:47] First up, we have approval of the agenda. The Mayor and Council may change the order of the agenda, or request discussion of a consent item.

[0:57] Do we want to make any changes?

[1:00] I'd love to approve the agenda.

[1:02] A motion?

[1:03] A second?

[1:04] A motion in a second.

[1:06] All those in favour of please me.

[1:07] I'll be in discussion.

[1:09] Oh, he's...

[1:10] He's the only one who pulled three J for the discussion.

[1:15] Yes?

[1:16] I meant my motion to move three J to discussion.

[1:20] I meant my second.

[1:22] Okay.

[1:23] I like the pace though.

[1:25] Come on.

[1:25] So we're moving Jay to discussion.

[1:32] It's a long adoption

[1:36] and resolution after rising city manager to execute an agreement

[1:40] that law night incorporates investigative evidence analysis technology produced by the

[1:46] winters, please inform me.

[1:56] Okay.

[1:57] So moving round along.

[1:59] We have a lot of shame in it.

[2:01] We do.

[2:02] We can tell us about the call the vote.

[2:04] All right, let's step to next.

[2:06] All right.

[2:07] All right.

[2:08] All right.

[2:10] Pause.

[2:11] None.

[2:12] Motion carries.

[2:14] We have no special presentation to see me.

[2:17] Excuse me.

[2:18] Item number two on our agenda today is

[2:21] Just public comment.

[2:23] This time it revered for members of the public

[2:25] to adjust the city council on items that are not on the agenda.

[2:29] You know, within the subject matter,

[2:31] jurisdiction of the city council. Comments are limited to three minutes. Comments for

[2:37] items on the open session agenda will be taken in the items called in open session.

[2:43] City council is prohibited by law from taking any action on matters discussed,

[2:48] or not on the agenda. And no adverse conclusion should be drawn if the city council

[2:53] does not respond to a couple public comments at this time. And with that, I call for public comment

[3:04] I see none, so we will move on ahead.

[3:08] Now we have the consent calendar.

[3:10] All right.

[3:11] We're good to go this way.

[3:14] Oh, no, I'm sorry.

[3:15] All I'm interested in the consent calendar

[3:17] considered an act upon by one motion.

[3:21] Anyone may request an item to be removed

[3:23] for separate consideration.

[3:25] Council Member Kassaveki has asked for

[3:27] J to be moved to discussion

[3:29] that anyone else wish to move items.

[3:34] seen none. I will call for motion. I remember we approved a consent calendar with Adam

[3:41] Joe moved to discussion. Second. Second.

[3:45] You have motion in the second, although it was in favour of please say aye.

[3:49] Aye. All right.

[3:55] There are no public hearings this evening, so we moved right to discussion

[4:00] items.

[4:10] Item A under discussion items. Amendment number 8 to agreement with Kennedy Janks

[4:17] consultants for hexavailing chromium 6 compliance. We go hand that off to our city manager,

[4:26] Jeremy Craig. Thank you, Mayor. This evening you have a recommendation to approve amendment

[4:32] number 8 to the Canadian Jinks agreement. This agreement will actually produce to the final

[4:38] construction phase of the Chrome 6 implementation at well number 8.

[4:44] I asked Alan for a quick the city engineer for a quick update since he was

[4:48] able to be here this evening.

[4:50] We'll be coming back next month with a full presentation updating our Chrome 6,

[4:54] but I didn't share some information for you if I'm going to read it,

[4:57] so I don't accidentally mistaken anything.

[5:01] With the pre-design report completed, we have about 20% through designing, tonight's actual allow, full design commenced with the plan to finalize bid documents in secret in March of 2027.

[5:12] We've posed about to bid in March of the latest, which was in the morning early May.

[5:17] We have towed by the state that once we are in construction, they'll finally consider an extension to the October deadline.

[5:22] The current issue we have is a long-leam time for major equipment.

[5:25] And so one of the items we're looking at is potentially looking at precuring that equipment

[5:30] in advance rather than waiting for a merit-tosh to order it.

[5:35] So we're generally considering that, I know Alan says preliminary conversation with Brian

[5:39] on what that might look like to help expedite the project once we have that underway.

[5:46] On the revenue side, in terms of pain, for the coming stage project, we're continuing to

[5:50] pursue funds through the State Water Board.

[5:53] We've completed the application last month. We'll wait and hear back from them. We've requested

[5:58] essentially a grant to cover the cost of the implementation. So the fall back from the

[6:04] grant would be a loan through the C wronging fund. So we had not heard back from them at this

[6:10] point, but we have completed all the application process and it is in with the state. So hopefully

[6:15] we'll have an update in the coming weeks on that, or at least initial feedback from the state.

[6:20] So, this will give us to that 100% design at the first of next year, to go out to contract,

[6:27] to get to that October 27 deadline.

[6:33] We prepared that equipment ahead of time.

[6:36] That would go and make one of the things we would have to reimburse them for.

[6:39] Yeah, Allen's current concern in his charting of the project timeline is some of these things

[6:45] have very long lead times, and Maritage is not ordering them waiting for agreement to complete it with the city for reimbursement.

[6:52] So Alan was considering the potential of us, essentially procuring those key items in advance just to get the wait time underway.

[7:00] Because I think the electric panel, it's eight to nine months.

[7:04] Yeah, it's eight years.

[7:05] Switching here has been a long lead item for several years now.

[7:10] Right, so there's a few items like that that we would consider.

[7:12] I know Alan had a plenary conversation with Brian.

[7:15] But that's something we may bring back to you if we think it would help us towards that October deadline.

[7:19] We only do everything to meet the deadline that we can.

[7:22] It is favorable.

[7:23] We've had the conversation that we're well underway.

[7:25] We're implementing it.

[7:26] It comes down to a single piece of equipment that'll hold me this up

[7:30] that they'll look fabulous in the fact that we're working on compliance

[7:32] and we're well underway and not dragging our feet.

[7:37] So we're hoping that will be, but this design is a key component

[7:39] of getting that done and we need to get that under contract now

[7:42] to get that process performed over the holiday, basically.

[7:46] So at 20% they've already sort of selected the equipment they need to use to make the thing more correct.

[7:54] Question, do you have a backup generator spreader that does that help?

[8:00] If I recall, other developed out, but I believe it is.

[8:03] I believe it's part of that work, because it has to be able to continue operating the filtration system.

[8:08] The filtration system creates an extra load to the system, which is why the pump needs to be oversized,

[8:12] electrical values be oversized, and then there's the design of the layout of the facility to

[8:18] allow the trucks to get in and out. Try to explain to it very, it's very sophisticated

[8:23] burn-of-filter. We're pushing water through several chambers of fine filtration, which creates

[8:30] sludge that has to be disposed of correctly. So there's a recharge system with that, the SMI has to

[8:36] come in essentially, it's not a SMI but it's a similar science truck that comes in to do that

[8:41] charge and clean the canister, so we have to design the site to accommodate that also without

[8:46] disrupting any traffic.

[8:48] Sir, a trigger point that would trigger us to go and purchase the equipment.

[8:54] I think right now we're exploring what those lead times are and where we are on the

[8:57] Maritosa Agreement.

[8:58] I think that will have more to do with it, if Brian feels comfortable that we're going to

[9:03] have something to use soon and we can get it underway then we wouldn't pursue that, but

[9:06] if we don't fill it, we're going to get that with Maritosa soon enough, we might consider

[9:10] and can bring something back to you.

[9:12] Is there any discussions with Dixon back of L,

[9:17] about possible JPA to join the address

[9:19] that problem between all three of us?

[9:21] So you know, they were the ones that were affected locally

[9:26] and at the lawsuit.

[9:28] Dixon's already has there.

[9:29] They're already done.

[9:30] They're solution in place.

[9:31] I mean, underway.

[9:32] I guess it would be the way to put it.

[9:34] I'm not sure what back of those doing this point,

[9:36] because they have three water sources.

[9:38] They have surface water.

[9:39] and if state water and then they have wells, so I'm not sure if they're just changing their

[9:45] allocations or they're going to address it well, I'm not sure on that, not that fast.

[9:52] Yeah, I see we're being asked to extend the agreement to the end of December next year

[9:59] at this time.

[10:00] This all was worked with all the plans, all the total engineering will be done by the end of this year or early next year.

[10:08] They proposed to over the 100% in March, and then they would help us through the RP process, which would take us a little further into the year.

[10:16] So this puts it what we're looking at around 933,000, close to a million dollars already just in planning. It's amazing how much the engineering and planning costs.

[10:28] So this is all coming out of the water fund.

[10:31] I know the water fund at this point.

[10:32] Don't be fine funding.

[10:33] You know what that leaves in our water fund?

[10:36] Currently we had about 2.8 million going in.

[10:40] So we'll definitely take a hit while we're looking for financing.

[10:43] So the hope is that I have that financing in place.

[10:45] By the end of this year, a person next year,

[10:47] so we don't have to draw about any further.

[10:49] If you have an idea on going maintenance costs would be of these additional bits.

[10:54] We received some preliminary estimates, but it really depends on final design, so we'll

[10:58] know more once this is completed.

[11:01] They told us it was between 125 and 200,000 depending on the volume that goes through,

[11:06] because it used up the filter based upon the volumes that come from what's at, not just

[11:12] the one solution we have, which is, well, the filtration itself gets used up based upon the

[11:17] volume of water pushed through it.

[11:19] Our strategy is to use wells 2 and 4, which don't have the chrome 6 issue as our

[11:23] forge priorities.

[11:25] Well, it would be providing the rest, so we'd limit the volumes through that.

[11:29] We're not going to over-pump it if we don't have to, that's a stretch of the life of that.

[11:34] So that how much we have to put through it will determine how much it has to be, reach

[11:38] our approach that will determine that total operating cost.

[11:42] If our final design will hopefully give us a better idea what that looks like.

[11:44] I remember when we touched the water board, we asked them again about blending, measuring at the tap, not the, well, yes, we had that discussion and that's not going to be considered.

[11:57] They've done some limited with that across the state, but it's people who have surface water.

[12:01] So it's 0.00.

[12:03] So do we know what that measurement might be if we did blend it right out with the stands?

[12:13] We don't.

[12:15] Our challenge is to blend it.

[12:16] We would have to put in a tank, take all the water up to the tank, and then bring it back

[12:19] through the system.

[12:24] People use surface water they have in another system of treatment, it's just, it's costly,

[12:32] it's both doing here, correct?

[12:35] Yeah, most surface treatment plants are using reverse osmosis, some other level, you know,

[12:40] level of filtration already. So it takes out most of the heavy elements for it. It's put

[12:46] in the system. Okay.

[12:54] I just think we're very wise for moving forward at this pace and

[13:00] with inflation for buying these expensive parts and with maybe competition with other cities that need

[13:07] to buy these parts. I think it's wise and I'm glad that we're respecting the timeline and moving forward.

[13:13] I want to ask you a question about who do we have the sort of answer that I need to

[13:24] be in on our operating system, but I don't know what I'm trying to ask it.

[13:28] My understanding is I'll double check that with Eric.

[13:32] But my understanding is yes we have someone, because of the way this filtration system is set

[13:36] up, it doesn't impact too much, those requirements, but I'll double check whether I can be

[13:41] sure.

[13:44] Sure, Jeremy, if you could, we had a discussion during the gender review regarding our city is one of the first months out of the gay in sort of moving forward out of the 120 in the states that are doing this.

[14:02] So, one of the reasons we're doing is because when the crunch comes, getting the equipment and getting the contractors to do the work will be much more difficult.

[14:11] correct, correct. Our approach had been to try to get ahead of the process. One to better

[14:17] understand the impacts that we have time to come up with what we were going to address it.

[14:22] But also knowing there's limited funding available and there's also a push where you have

[14:26] so many agencies doing the same process at once. That was going to drive cost up. We wanted

[14:31] to be ahead of that curve. So that's why we've been working on trying to make sure we're

[14:35] time line and working.

[14:38] So because we're really in the time cycle, I guess. Do you think

[14:45] that? I mean, they have no idea, but my help was with the water board, sort of being in line,

[14:51] they'd qualify for some, I hope on the pine empty. I hope so when we met with the water board,

[14:58] one of the things we...

[15:00] We want to be your great example. We want to be someone you point to to say, we got us done effectively in a way that didn't hurt the city financially. Here's how we did it.

[15:11] And so we're really trying to work with them to make sure they understand what we're doing, working hard, and then the hope is again that some funding is available to help offset these costs.

[15:20] Thank you. Thank you. Any additional questions?

[15:31] Are there any questions from the public?

[15:36] Please come to the microphone and identify yourself and your address.

[15:43] Thank you.

[15:44] Thank you.

[15:51] Do you know any of our members?

[15:53] Yes, please.

[15:54] 8-4-6, West Main Street.

[15:57] And just during your discussion, I was just trying to follow up about the...

[16:00] John, when you're talking about a solution, you're talking about you have a solution for

[16:05] what already that's in the works or when you're talking about a solution it's for across

[16:10] the market.

[16:12] So, so the solution, so community agencies aren't environmental engineer that is designing

[16:15] the fix.

[16:17] And what they determined was, well, aid is being constructed right now as a new well.

[16:21] Because of that, we have the site ability to design the treatment there and combining

[16:25] that with wells 2 and 4, those 3 wells will meet the needs of the city as it currently

[16:30] It is.

[16:31] Now one of the things we mentioned often and we've mentioned with the State Waterboard is,

[16:35] this will take care of what's on the books for current development.

[16:38] So if I'm said we'll be fine, you know, all it will be fine, any major above that we're

[16:44] going to have to really look at our water availability.

[16:46] We may have to add additional solution, have a phase two, which can be deemed as identified

[16:50] also.

[16:52] But initial phase one, which is October 27, then I were facing the well eight work combined

[16:57] as well as 24 won't need the city's needs.

[16:59] Okay, and then the planning that you're considering paying for that's the plan for all of the last.

[17:05] Well, that just for that eight.

[17:07] This one we're having before tonight is the final design of the well-a-treatment.

[17:12] Thank you.

[17:13] We've got it.

[17:14] Thank you.

[17:20] There's no one else.

[17:23] I guess there are no more questions from the public.

[17:26] I would move the staff recommendation for the staff recommendation for resolution 2026-51 and the three items that are accomplishes.

[17:37] No second net.

[17:39] Go.

[17:40] A motion and a second.

[17:46] Brian.

[17:48] Is this a roll call or is it can be just a.

[17:51] No, this is just.

[17:51] Just regular.

[17:52] Okay.

[17:53] Okay.

[17:54] All those in favor please say aye.

[17:55] Aye.

[17:56] All opposed, motion carries,

[18:02] item B, resolution 202650, approving the formation of an

[18:10] endowment fund at your local community foundation to administer and manage donated funds

[18:16] from the Richard R. Lao Games, living trust, to benefit the winter's community

[18:21] Swim Program in authorizing the city manager to execute agreement on behalf of the city.

[18:29] And looking up and I see Kathy Matthews's committee meeting.

[18:33] Good evening.

[18:34] I'm here before you.

[18:35] You read the resolution and the request to set up an endowment at the city community Swim Program

[18:41] is the designated beneficiary of a gift from the Richard R. Lagan's living trust of $300,000.

[18:49] And with that comes in stipulations and some requests about the desires of the donor and that was to invest those funds so that every year there would be money to reinvest in the swim program.

[19:02] His desire was to get students in the pool learning how to swim at all ages.

[19:07] He was a member of the community here, he worked very closely with Bobby Greenwood as a coach behind the scenes and as a volunteer, so this passion definitely was in that area of swim.

[19:20] He also designated Bruce Rominger as an individual to help guide the investment and the structure that's identified in the living trust.

[19:31] And it's a unique structure, and so getting it to perfectly, with the trustee and the trust

[19:38] and with folks, we have identified that the best solution is to set up an endowment with

[19:43] the European Community Foundation, that money will be invested according to their structure

[19:49] and will return about four percent.

[19:52] It's been pretty consistent for over a decade that will allow us to use those programs

[19:57] to invest, use those funds too.

[20:00] Invest in programs that will indeed bring kids into the poll and learn how to swim and his legacy will last and live in perpetuity.

[20:10] So that's the request before years to allow the city manager to enter into that agreement to take those funds through the trust, put them into the endowment, and allow them to grow and live and return to the community each and every year.

[20:27] Thank you.

[20:33] I'm just really, very, very, very, very happy.

[20:39] I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[20:42] I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[20:43] Is there a discussion about the way of acknowledging his relation?

[20:50] Yes, so we had a lot of conversation,

[20:52] I had a lot of conversation with Mr. Rominger

[20:55] and with the trustee of the trust.

[20:58] And he does identify some things

[21:00] And one is, he would like to see a plaque at the pool

[21:03] and acknowledgement these funds are specifically intended

[21:07] to use for purposes other than maintenance,

[21:12] chlorine, those kinds of things,

[21:15] and that we would continually, each year when we get those

[21:18] these funds, but we would remind the community

[21:21] that they're there because his passion was

[21:24] having kids learn to swim.

[21:26] And he wants the community to be encouraged in that way,

[21:29] And he wants more kids in the pool learning how to swim.

[21:33] He was a coach.

[21:35] He was a great volunteer.

[21:37] And he was definitely a proponent of swimming.

[21:40] Even after moving out of the community and living in the NACA area

[21:46] for quite some time, he remembered the program here.

[21:51] And he left it in his trust because that was definitely his passion.

[22:00] I mean we're doing it. Yeah, thank you, Mayor. Yeah, just so I'm very thankful that this

[22:07] Mr. Ragn says put this in as well and trust and he's donating this $300,000 to the city for the Swim Program.

[22:16] I think it's great. I'm just a question I have. I said I want to establish a percentage of the fund is made available to support program.

[22:24] So what's the percentage of the fund?

[22:27] So currently, so when you endow the funds with the Yellow Community Foundation, they're in partnership with the Sacramento Regional Community Foundation and they are the administrators and the investors, and they have a mathematical formula to determine what the spin ratio is going to be.

[22:47] And it's based on their investment poll.

[22:49] This endowment will be invested along with all the rest of the endowments that they hold.

[22:55] And the proceeds from that in the past decade have been about 4%.

[22:59] So coming back to the city of Winters will be just over 10,000 between 10,000 and 12,000 on the investment.

[23:08] The endowment that's going to be set up will be set up with the 300,000 that's coming from the trust.

[23:14] There is also a checking account at first northern with other funds for the Winters

[23:21] community swim program of about 15,000, so the opening bounce will be about $315,000 and

[23:30] that investment will be there.

[23:33] So once the funds are endowed, they become assets of the foundation and the return comes

[23:43] to the City of Winters Community Swim Program as the sole and only designated beneficiary of that endowment.

[23:52] Should any time the City of Winters cease to operate that community swim program, which is not foreseeable,

[24:01] there is a secondary beneficiary identified both in the trust and in the endowment documents

[24:07] and that is the Winters High School Athletic Department.

[24:12] It also says that we based on a 12-quarter average, we have to wait 12 quarters before anything comes back to the city or it will be immediate.

[24:25] No, so it's based on timing and we're going to hit the timing everybody involved in this wants to hit the timing which is the end of September.

[24:34] And so if I'm down, I'm going to set up by the end of September, which were slated to have

[24:43] it set up with your approval by the end of the week and funded by the end of the week.

[24:48] Then we will be able to get a usable designation for the current year and be able to invest

[24:58] that.

[25:00] We go into next summer and we look at extending things that are already in place, like the Learn to Swim Safe Program and those kinds of things.

[25:09] That's what his heart was and those are the kinds of things that the city of winter as well.

[25:14] Look to furthering with this endowment.

[25:17] Great, thank you.

[25:18] You're welcome.

[25:19] So, they have investments set up already that they routinely do?

[25:24] Yes, so they have a full investment team.

[25:27] you can visit the website. It's a very informative. We have other holding

[25:34] there with yellow community foundation including the elderberry

[25:38] mitigation fund which is also an endowed fund and a designated fund for the

[25:46] community center furniture and fixtures. Do we know what they're investing in

[25:52] or per cent over that time period seems very low.

[25:56] But you can't even sort of invest when I got ice-oom.

[26:00] Well, I would not say, if you're asking my personal opinion,

[26:05] I would not say it's conservative.

[26:07] I would say their investment strategies are sound,

[26:13] and they return a good return annually.

[26:17] You can look at their financials.

[26:19] You can look at their investment portfolio

[26:20] and their strategy, the 4% that is opened through our automatic annual spinning is a designated

[26:31] decision based on their endowment investment strategies.

[26:37] That's not their returns, that's just what they've got to do.

[26:47] If there's more this in down in the setup, we'll say there's another family in town that

[26:54] wants to leave contribute to the fund.

[26:59] Was that possible?

[27:01] And that's the unique thing about having this not having, it could have been let's set it up

[27:09] another way and have individuals as investors and individuals making decisions on use of funds

[27:19] annually that doesn't really align with what the trust states is, the donors, trade desire,

[27:27] and so following that everybody involved believes this is the best choice.

[27:32] And one of the reasons are what you mentioned is that this is a global foundation.

[27:38] and they do have a lot of outreach in the community.

[27:41] And there are other people out there that believe teaching youth and youngsters how to swim

[27:47] is vitally important and they would be very much inclined to be attracted to that kind

[27:53] of a fund.

[27:55] And so that portfolio is going to be out there.

[27:56] It will be out there through the yellow community foundation and the Sacramento Regional Community

[28:01] Foundation.

[28:02] And so, anybody that any donor that just wants to say, hey, I want to make a charitable

[28:09] contribution and support something that my aligns with my heart could go to that foundation.

[28:14] They'll see all of the information we got in the Dick Laggins, Winners Community, Swim

[28:21] Program, Fund, and look at and read what it's about, look how it's spending the community, read

[28:29] stories that we were right, so we will report annually on how we're using those funds,

[28:35] the generated funds, and they could decide to add to the endowment as well.

[28:40] Anybody can do that.

[28:41] Thank you very much.

[28:42] But that beneficiary will always be the city winners.

[28:48] Yeah.

[28:48] I think I've seen that before.

[28:49] Like when they do the big day of giving, you can give to the yellow community foundation

[28:54] and designate, which one you want to go to.

[29:01] I mean, this is a good size and doubtment and doubtment, because I didn't know Mr.

[29:06] Logins, I don't think I ever met him, but he kind of kind of up to a real fight market

[29:11] persons who were left crippled in the amount of funds in which the public were met

[29:18] library.

[29:20] Yes.

[29:27] Especially the program at Jeremy Highlight Forest where teaching little little kids

[29:33] how to be water safe and being watered. So I think it'll change lives.

[29:41] So anyone else?

[29:47] We have motion.

[29:50] Whoop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

[29:52] Let me pop the comment. You're the only public tonight.

[29:57] That's somebody online.

[30:00] What's your name?

[30:02] I don't know.

[30:03] I don't know.

[30:04] I'm trying to guess.

[30:06] Yeah, I don't know.

[30:09] What's that other name?

[30:11] Denton Carson.

[30:13] I don't know.

[30:14] Okay.

[30:17] We have the front on that.

[30:20] I can make it bigger.

[30:22] Can't read it.

[30:24] Oh, thank you.

[30:26] Wow.

[30:26] I don't know if there's no public comment I'd like to make the most and just ask that.

[30:35] We have an ability in the future to annually thank donors to publicly in the winners' express

[30:44] so that people know that the families of people that have donated are being honored.

[30:52] And with that, I moved the item before us.

[30:54] Councilor Lorne?

[30:56] Could I recommend could you also approve staff doing a plaque at the Swim Safe Point?

[31:02] Yes.

[31:03] I would.

[31:05] I'm moving the resolution 2026-50, approving the formation of an endowment fund,

[31:11] a stated in the staff report, and also.

[31:18] Conclusion.

[31:19] I know.

[31:20] Yes.

[31:21] Good.

[31:21] Yeah.

[31:21] Yeah. I stayed in the city manager. I'm tired.

[31:27] I'll second that.

[31:28] We have a motion in a second.

[31:30] All those in favour please say aye.

[31:33] Opposed.

[31:34] None. Motion carries.

[31:39] All right.

[31:42] Item C. Resolution 202649.

[31:47] Approving the winter's highlands.

[31:50] Project completion.

[31:51] Improves. Reserves.

[31:55] storage ship agreement.

[31:58] Excuse me.

[32:00] So I think to the staff report for City Manager Craig.

[32:05] Thank you, Mayor.

[32:06] The City Manager staff is recommending approval of theiner's Highland Project completion

[32:10] and preserved of the Stewardship Agreement.

[32:12] Zerina, could you do me a favor for attachment three?

[32:16] Just so we can see the map.

[32:29] There we go.

[32:30] So as part of the homes by town section of the winter's Highlands, there was a preserve of a requirement,

[32:37] which you see the red box area there, as many slew at the top, this area has been preserved.

[32:43] There's a varnal pole that's circled in blue there.

[32:47] Part of the requirement for winter's Highlands and the HPT was responsible for was creating a preserve of this area to make sure that was contained.

[32:57] They were not successful on finding a nonprofit willing to take on the project,

[33:02] I think, because it's so small and works located.

[33:06] So what's before you tonight is the city taking on that obligation to complete that.

[33:12] Essentially, we would take it on as maintenance.

[33:14] We honestly have already been doing the fire mitigation that area each year

[33:18] to make sure it states safe because all the neighbors around it.

[33:21] So, essentially what we're disin-within-tow is fencing and science in the Cape.

[33:27] There's just an environmentally sensitive area on the vertical pool side.

[33:31] The rest of us really just left us a buffer area to keep people away from the sensitive area.

[33:37] In recognition of that, HBT is agreed to make a one-time payment of 1.1 million dollars to the city

[33:43] to help offset the cost related to that.

[33:46] also to convey sight-three, the face-three of the three Oaks Park.

[33:52] So those funds that aren't spent on the 15th and signage needed there could then be repurposed to face-three of the park and getting that section of park completed.

[34:01] So that's the recommendation before you this evening.

[34:06] Thank you.

[34:08] I think it's a great solution.

[34:11] I'd like to see, let me discuss that.

[34:13] I mean, you can get some vegetation in there and plant some native drought tolerant and low maintenance.

[34:25] Plant some native kind of supplies and habitat, roads and pollinators and just make it look a little more interesting.

[34:34] I know, guy, they can get us a butterfly guard.

[34:39] So yeah, definitely we can look at, as part of setting up the preserve element, those are all things we can incorporate into the design.

[34:47] The main concern is protect the Ronald Paul preventing cross-sortraphic that might damage it, burden the dry seasons.

[34:55] And adding to the comment I would like to think to have openings.

[35:00] Login for any animals that want to access it, like a vacuum, size, okay. And it's also have a plaque.

[35:11] There's a black cap that regularly hunts that field.

[35:15] Well, let's let it in there.

[35:21] So I have a question, so out of that, I agreed to $1.1 million that they would agree to pay.

[35:29] We're going to set a side to any of that for maintenance of this area.

[35:34] We're planning to use it for the initial, just for the sensing and signage and plantings.

[35:41] After that, it'll just be basic maintenance, but we do the right ways next to it.

[35:45] So it should be a fairly low impact cost, but it is still cost, it is a cost, yeah.

[35:53] It's one more one more park area for this city, public roads to maintain.

[35:57] I was hoping that HBT would have found an on-profit that would take over that area.

[36:05] I know they tried for a long time and this site was too small.

[36:08] I think for most of the non-profits to want to take over and preserve it.

[36:13] So, I think this is a good solution, does this complete all the things in the development agreement for HPT?

[36:19] This rules of all of HPT's outstanding items.

[36:22] It's good, I'd like to see it.

[36:24] Before would I think it's a good solution?

[36:36] Just sort of follow-up on Mayor Protem's question.

[36:40] Do we have an idea how much of my cost annually to have maintained this site?

[36:47] Currently, we just do either payment on the site once a year.

[36:50] So it's...

[36:50] Yeah, I mean, I met about hours this afternoon.

[36:52] It's not like a park with mons and...

[36:54] Correct, correct.

[36:55] It's just a case.

[36:56] Just to...

[36:57] And if we plan to outhaul our natives that we'll even bring down the maintenance...

[37:02] Dude, does this site get mone?

[37:05] Sometimes.

[37:06] We do either payment each year.

[37:08] Yeah, for fire.

[37:09] And they get about five feet high, they come in.

[37:12] Why could I?

[37:13] Can't have the city sort of break in a phone room, right?

[37:19] Is there any public comment?

[37:27] Seeing none, move ahead.

[37:30] With that, we have motion.

[37:33] I mean, it was at the CASA Pre-Vasivation 2020-2649.

[37:38] Pre-Vasivation in the retirement.

[37:40] Pre-Vasivation in preserved stewardship agreement.

[37:44] Well, second that motion.

[37:46] All right.

[37:46] we have a motion in a second. All those in paper please say aye.

[37:50] I proposed one abstain. Just because I live next to it. There's not a conflict.

[37:56] I'm just saying. Okay, so we have four yes, no nose and one abstain.

[38:08] Yeah, you live right across the walkway from it.

[38:10] Right, right.

[38:13] Not about things, yeah, you're from door.

[38:17] there's giant wipers that hunt a rental pool as well. So far though, I'm not sure if their hair ends are eager.

[38:28] All right, so now we move on to item J back from state.

[38:39] The adoption of Resolution 2026-46, authorasing the city manager to execute an agreement with

[38:47] long eye incorporated for investigative evidence analysis, technology produced by the

[38:53] Winters Police Department, and I see she's John Miller stepping to the microphone.

[38:59] So my apologies, I wasn't prepared to, the discussion item on this, I was going to go forward

[39:04] consent, so, not really, completely prepared, obviously, not dress appropriate, as I

[39:09] normally would.

[39:11] I have online available for any technical questions, retired chief of police from Santa

[39:15] Mone and Denny Carlson, who is the long-eyed representative, Denny and I actually went to

[39:19] Mancals together, one of the Sherpas individuals, I know, especially when it comes to

[39:22] attack.

[39:23] That's why he was recruited by Long-Liapon as retirement.

[39:27] Long-Liapon basically would break down, I think, the easiest way to put his chat GPT for cops.

[39:32] It's Siege's compliant, which is the California Justice Information Systems.

[39:36] And that's one of the biggest issues with open source AI and law enforcement.

[39:40] We cannot use catchy B.T. Cloud.

[39:44] We can't even use Grammarly to review our reports or any of those technical programs.

[39:50] C.1-9 was developed to be Siege's compliant and is actually an incredibly powerful tool I'm going to do.

[39:57] And I just found a...

[40:00] Today I last year, and I'm learning it daily, and what it can do. Some of the things that we are looking

[40:07] forward with the system is we're already destined off our homicide case from 2009, where the suspect

[40:14] was convicted of serving time in prison, but the body was never recovered. That binder alone

[40:19] is bonus of five inch per paper binder, and we're scanning in all the documents and all the evidence

[40:26] getting ready to upload to a long night to be able to allow long night to analyze that information.

[40:33] We're also dusting off our 1984 missing person case, which is a problem homicide out of clearly.

[40:41] Also to upload it to a long night and allow it, but to query the system to give us potential leads on that.

[40:50] The system can be used for even transcription of interviews.

[40:56] We can take an audio of an interview.

[41:00] We can do the complete transcription.

[41:02] Make it into a report format for us.

[41:05] It takes it appropriately in a California law that was generated through the AI source.

[41:09] It can also, my understanding is up to 200 languages in translation services.

[41:15] It can also help us analyze child pornography cases.

[41:18] We have several child pornography cases going right now historically that requires our officer

[41:23] and this now we have our detective admin surgeon back literally sitting in front of computer for

[41:28] our upon hour looking at digital images from computer rips from iPhone rips or cell phone

[41:34] rips and he was literally just sit there and scroll and open up every single document and

[41:40] unzip every file and watch every video one night you upload the images

[41:45] It's really the system and it can help the detector narrow down that search to specific information.

[41:52] It can do link analysis for us.

[41:54] It can do metadata basically from the data, the cell phone ribs, creating GPS maps.

[42:03] Just a super, super powerful tool.

[42:06] On the lower end, for our officers, you know patrol officers, they can use it like Grammarly.

[42:10] And it's a seagus compliant format so they can actually upload their reports.

[42:14] Now to check their spelling and grammar,

[42:18] because, you know, I don't know.

[42:20] Let's say, the qualification system

[42:21] has done to some of their grammar and education,

[42:25] but they are, you know, obviously,

[42:26] generation of Microsoft, Edgar, Brighton, Ward,

[42:31] and very relying on these type of tools.

[42:34] That's just a tip of the iceberg of what this system

[42:37] can do for the winners' police department.

[42:39] I'm very excited to, you know, break it on board.

[42:42] Well, one of the case we're currently working on is the flood case from November of this last year.

[42:47] There was a ton of data and information.

[42:53] We really, just this last week, developed a lead, and that we've been investigating that now for

[42:59] six, seven months.

[43:02] And if I were to take a, you know, first of all, I was murdered data,

[43:05] data, drawing down the data, more search points,

[43:08] electronic search points, or there as long as we

[43:11] add that tool, could have probably expedited that process,

[43:15] and led us to the suspect much sooner.

[43:20] With that, I'm over the questions.

[43:21] Any technical questions?

[43:22] I'm going to refer you to, yeah, well,

[43:26] I've worked out to you for a thousand.

[43:33] Questions about it?

[43:37] So we use AI work, sometimes I don't, because I don't find it particularly useful for

[43:45] the way I do my work, but I have seen a lot of people work using it, and where it really

[43:51] struggles that I've seen is that it has a problem with context, assigning meaning, and developing

[43:58] what's important.

[43:59] It does a lot of things great.

[44:01] Especially when you talk about flat files, dealing with tables, translation, all that is

[44:08] anything that's got an app that's existed, it does that really well, it integrates a lot

[44:13] of different programs together.

[44:16] So I'm curious about this.

[44:18] I looked up the company and a couple things are concerning for me, one, they're very new.

[44:26] It seems like they haven't had their product to market for even a year yet.

[44:31] I have a hard time believing that they have solved the context and importance.

[44:39] Issue that the rest of the chat should be D.

[44:42] But AIs struggle with.

[44:46] And I just, I don't think that the AI technology is there yet to do something this important in a way that I'm willing to.

[44:56] say yes to this and then essentially risk.

[45:00] They're getting it wrong, hallucinations,

[45:06] saying something important, it's not wasting time, potentially, they could cause the same time, too.

[45:12] But I'm just not, I don't feel like AI is at a point where we should be trusting it to the most serious things that we do.

[45:20] I'm also concerned that they're such a new company and I don't feel like their product might be quite at the point where I think it should be.

[45:40] Do you like?

[45:40] Do you also respond to that?

[45:46] I do more than happy if you want to lend a little insight to that from the company's perspective.

[45:53] And American Council members, thank you for allowing me to join you this evening.

[45:57] I appreciate the opportunity to speak about online, kind of what we represent.

[46:01] A couple of things to note on the age of the company, but you are accurate that we are not

[46:06] on standing company, but however the AI engineers that we enjoy from online, over class engineers

[46:12] that have been working in the AI field for a while over a decade, all of them have vast experience.

[46:19] in designing AI with some of the major AI developers

[46:23] who've been in this business for quite a long time.

[46:25] So the experience is there.

[46:27] One of the things that they created that sets

[46:29] long-eyed part from any other AI out there,

[46:32] we actually have a patent-pending technology

[46:34] that's a goodifiability architecture built into our platform

[46:38] to reduce those hallucinations

[46:40] and almost minimize them to exactly zero.

[46:44] And that is a major concern in the criminal justice system

[46:46] We need things that I teach consistently throughout the state of California is ethical AI and IT's IT chiefs of police.

[46:53] So the number of the California Police Chiefs Association board of directors and I take that there seriously.

[46:58] And something we should not risk within the criminal justice system.

[47:02] So we built a verifiable or the architectural within Mo Ni.

[47:05] Our system will not produce a result to an AI or to a question or an inquiry within our system unless it can produce a verifiable citation and a direct link back.

[47:16] to the cold admissible evidence.

[47:18] You can go in the long eye, and with any case,

[47:20] you can ask it any question.

[47:22] I've gone in there and I've said,

[47:24] hey, can you tell me if this person is a dog or a cat person?

[47:27] And then we'll respond, and they will tell me,

[47:28] I can't tell you any answer.

[47:30] I cannot cite actually evidence

[47:32] from the case to produce an answer that's reliable.

[47:35] So that is one of the platforms that our investigative works

[47:39] space is built on.

[47:41] That's the liabilities of the architecture.

[47:43] So we will not produce an AI result

[47:44] unless a direct citation to the court at this level, evidence can accompany the answer.

[47:50] And what we do, as I will continue to anyone who is in the Long Night platform, is every time they're in the platform.

[47:56] No matter what they're doing, any AI summary that's produced for them, they will be one click away from an actual evidence to be able to verify that the AI is accurate.

[48:05] So if you ask any question of Long AI, and Long AI gives you a response to the question that you asked,

[48:11] directly embedded in those responses will be citations that will take the investigator

[48:15] or who is using the platform back to their actual quote admissible evidence

[48:19] so they can verify them immediately. And it comes in a single thing glass. They'll be looking at

[48:23] the summiting, they click on the citation, they will pop up on the side of the spring,

[48:27] and it will go to the direct point in the interview or in the PDF file or whatever is

[48:31] cited in the evidence so that they can verify it that it's accurate. We'll assume believe

[48:35] or in the E should not trust AI, but we should always put something in front of you

[48:40] you could verify. I actually use the term all the time and I'm talking to organizations that

[48:45] will probably most self-loving AI company up there because we don't want you to trust it.

[48:50] We have to put things in front of you that verify it. That's one of the critical components

[48:53] of being involved in the criminal justice system because you are absolutely accurate in

[48:56] statements that you made at the level of seriousness for the cases that are being investigated

[49:03] at long-eyed. It is critical that the battery has to be there. And one of the components that I

[49:08] I think it's assured that Long A is been incredibly successful so far.

[49:11] We actually have no public defender offices on board and sign those partners with Long A.

[49:16] They need to please support and support their support and support and support to organizations.

[49:20] We added you to see all over the country and public enders offices,

[49:24] prosecuting attorneys as well as law enforcement organizations that are on board.

[49:28] And the technology has been really transformational for organizations that have been implemented.

[49:33] We have cases where when I have been used, I'll be through a dedication, many, many times.

[49:39] No questions in court, no issues, because what's happening is as investigators are investing

[49:43] in the cases, or as the public defenders are restricted or researching their cases in

[49:48] Mornay.

[49:49] Mornay is taken them to the direct court of the civil evidence, and that's all it's doing.

[49:52] We're going to press the last of these, as you can never put an algorithm on a standing court.

[49:56] And you should never rely on the chat part to verify everything.

[50:00] We have to be able to verify it independently for the user, and that's why we put it in the platform, and we put it in the architecture that we would design with the long aye.

[50:08] And then use that term we very loosely, obviously I am not supposed to design it.

[50:13] It's all a world-class AI engineers that are putting this all together, and put it in the hands of public defenders, prosecuting attorneys, and not force organizations all over the country.

[50:26] question I thought of. How do you handle potential like code injects like in the way

[50:33] that people will put some text that he and I can't see in a file when they're applying

[50:38] for a job, but it tells the any possible AI's thing that's screening it. Hey, this is

[50:43] a highly qualified candidate, move them onto the next round, or similar things that students

[50:47] are doing. Is there a process of how that is?

[50:52] So we actually, everything that comes into one eye goes through multiple levels.

[50:57] We actually don't just use one AI system in one eye.

[51:01] We're not so close to all the AI platforms in the sandbox

[51:04] circles that the data goes into.

[51:06] We actually use about 18 to 24 different AI systems in analyzing the data.

[51:12] Every data that comes into one eye goes through another analysis

[51:15] to find out if the information over that was created is accurate

[51:19] and also to go through it, it also goes through an entire AI detection pipeline to try to determine

[51:26] if any of the data included in images or PDF documents or anything is AI generated and not

[51:32] legitimate data.

[51:33] And that's one of the things that we look forward in the documents that we process and within

[51:37] the PDFs that we process is anything in the background that's created that can alter the

[51:42] system as it analyzes it.

[51:44] And what we do is when they go through these multiple different AI systems to analyze the evidence

[51:48] that's suggested, we categorize it all for accuracy as it goes through each different system.

[51:55] And those are the network of these systems that everything passes through, and we can

[51:58] go up that we take all of that together to produce the most accurate results possible.

[52:03] Then it's received by the investigator or the attorney or the public defender that's

[52:07] reviewing the AR results.

[52:09] So everything goes through multiple pipelines before it's determined that,

[52:12] yes, this is the most accurate thing we can put in front of you.

[52:15] And again, there's also that AI detection pipeline to produce and get anything that may be used to

[52:21] deceive or to falsify records or create new records that didn't exist at the time that the

[52:28] grandmas committed or that the grandmas reported. It's all of those different things. And as you know,

[52:33] this is a very difficult thing to navigate. In some ways, I concur to professional sports and

[52:39] use of illegal substances in sports in some ways, the testing is always going to be a step

[52:44] behind as people advance and get beyond the things. And so we are constantly in a state

[52:49] of analyzing how we can be the most impactful to figure out what is graduate and anything that's

[52:56] done to try to manipulate the system so our engineers are constantly working on those platforms

[52:59] to make sure there's updated as possible. I do everything that they can to minimize the risk.

[53:11] You have a question?

[53:12] Yeah, I just have a kind of a question, a question, maybe a couple comments.

[53:18] One, we're looking at one year contractor for $1,800, does this contract include any updates

[53:25] that might come along throughout the year?

[53:27] We'll have updates to the software?

[53:30] Yes, absolutely.

[53:31] Because of the speed of AI development and how things are being updated, I would talk

[53:37] on a daily basis, recedes new updates.

[53:40] As a matter of fact, last month, a long,

[53:42] our engineers have shipped over 600 updates to the platform.

[53:46] That is all included, and it is all constantly being updated.

[53:49] So every single partner who is on board with now and now

[53:52] receives the absolute latest technology

[53:55] to make sure it's as efficient as possible,

[53:57] and exactly as possible.

[53:59] Yeah, I just, I see this as being a tool that's out there

[54:02] that our place department could use

[54:05] to save them some time to go through volumes and volumes of paper, documents that have been scanned or electronic devices that we're not able to do now because just the amount of time it takes.

[54:19] I see the benefits of trying out this program for a year out of weighing any potential risks that might be in there.

[54:27] going to go through and pull sounds like it will pull out any evidence that goes with

[54:34] the query of the officer and then that officer has a chance to look at it and go

[54:38] up.

[54:38] Okay, this is in the evidence and this is accurate, so it gets looked at, I think it will

[54:44] set save a lot of time and help us analyze all the data that we have.

[54:54] I think you got it.

[54:57] I had a question for you, but I think you...

[55:00] I answered it. My question was about will the data be used for training purposes for other AI? And I think that's what is the problem with the other models, is that it can be used. So this is protected data.

[55:16] Protecting.

[55:18] Yes, you are absolutely correct on that. And that's one of the things that is critical in this. And when I teach the ethical AI course,

[55:25] the enormous heavily is that whatever you need lies, you cannot put anything that's kind

[55:30] of justice information system related into a popular and modern AI system is going to

[55:34] learn on it.

[55:35] The best example that I always give someone is, well, if you're investigating at a case involving

[55:40] no counter-trafficking, and at the same time you're investigating that case, if you put anything

[55:44] into an open source, LOM or open source AI system at the same time, that someone from the

[55:51] So I'm talking organization, the searching things online,

[55:53] there's a potential that you're investigative services could go to them.

[55:57] So in our platform, everything is sandboxed, everything is secured.

[56:00] We bring the AI systems to your data, to the workplace department's data,

[56:05] and know AI system warns often your police department's data.

[56:09] That is an absolute, you can never happen with any type of enforcement system in

[56:15] loving AI, and we put those same types of employees to ensure that it never happens.

[56:19] And just a complete clarity, so you understand,

[56:24] they're looking for a line I can see the data

[56:26] that the Windows Play Supplement would put over the system.

[56:29] The security set comes on place there,

[56:31] so that it is the Windows Play Supplement's data.

[56:34] We should be able to see it.

[56:35] We don't want to see it because it is secure

[56:37] to the Windows Play Supplement.

[56:39] So we can't see it, and that is the way that it's designed.

[56:42] So it's secure, and it's sandboxed,

[56:44] and it's just for the Windows Play Supplement, and that's it.

[56:48] So along those lines, so the application, it lives on the winter's police departments, servers.

[56:59] It's not in the cloud.

[57:01] Actually, it is in the cloud, it's in the AWS bedrock servers and the servers that we utilize

[57:06] or in the United States that are actually in Oregon, but it is just compliant with everything from start to finish.

[57:13] So, every single C just security standard and cloud-based information for criminal justice systems is actually quite common now.

[57:22] All of the body form gathered footage that's obtained and maintained by the winner's police department, that's all cloud-based.

[57:28] It's all handled through the vendor that they utilize and it is a very common thing, that cloud-based storage for data.

[57:35] And we are the same on that, but every single standard is not through the AWS bedrock servers that we utilize.

[57:44] Thank you.

[57:52] All right, do we have any public comment on this item,

[58:01] all right, seeing none,

[58:06] thank you, sir,

[58:07] not there.

[58:10] I'm sorry, I can't reach your name again.

[58:14] It's probably okay.

[58:15] I was cursed with two last names, so I'll go with them and call them all the names.

[58:19] I was 27 years of enforcement.

[58:21] So, anything you want to call me, I'd probably heard a book or a book or a book.

[58:25] That wouldn't be polite call.

[58:27] Because the worst type of two last names are two first names.

[58:30] That's Jeremy.

[58:31] It's on the name.

[58:33] Yeah, I'll definitely depend on the name. That's a good point.

[58:36] But I just wanted to say thank you for allowing you to be here tonight. I appreciate your time.

[58:40] Great. Thank you.

[58:42] I'm prepared to make a motion. I just want to say that I really appreciate the questions that were asked.

[58:47] tonight by the council members and Mayor and the answers. It's very informative and I think

[58:53] we're all really interested in where this goes. I would like to move the item adopt resolution

[59:02] 2026-46 authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the Long Lying for investigative

[59:08] evidence analysis technology for use by the Winners Police Department as stated in our packet.

[59:13] We have a motion, we have a second.

[59:18] A second left.

[59:20] We have a motion, hand a second.

[59:23] All those in paper please say aye.

[59:26] All those opposed?

[59:27] I'd like to see you on your tracker.

[59:28] So no.

[59:30] I don't know.

[59:31] Yes, I don't know.

[59:31] Okay, so we have four.

[59:34] Yes.

[59:34] One, no.

[59:35] And motion carries.

[59:47] All right.

[59:53] Next we add the city manager's report.

[59:56] I think we're just 2m to replace the CV in 100.

[1:00:00] Major, this week, the e-convance ordinance that will pass last month will be going into effect. We're working on signage and the parks and trails, which should be up shortly once we get them in. So we're going through that. Another quick out, the Edmund Converture and Downstairs, we have received the sounding panels to help with the noise in that room. So, once the guys are able to get in and install, we should see that improvement actually in the closet right now. So, we'll get that in. The third day is just one of the invite to community and ask

[1:00:29] them to go out to the front page of the city website.

[1:00:32] We have an active transportation plan survey on the website, both in English and Spanish,

[1:00:38] trying to get input from the community on the active transportation needs as we apply for

[1:00:42] an ATP planning grant this year.

[1:00:45] So I really appreciate more, more sure I results.

[1:00:48] I appreciate those of dinner already.

[1:00:50] We'd love to see a lot more people give their feedback on the active transportation needs

[1:00:54] in the community.

[1:00:54] Do you have accounters of last couple of days?

[1:00:57] Yeah, as of, I really, yesterday we had about 28 responses to Rome.

[1:01:02] We did.

[1:01:04] How long will it be available?

[1:01:05] It's for three weeks, so we have a couple more weeks.

[1:01:08] I believe you told me it was September 16th.

[1:01:13] Okay, I'll say it so goes out on the video.

[1:01:16] There's a survey on transportation and it's on the CS website.

[1:01:21] It'll be, except in the information on September 16th.

[1:01:25] It would be great if people in the community would respond to it.

[1:01:30] It only takes not even two minutes, so it's very quick.

[1:01:35] But I think the information will be very valuable to the people working on our transportation plans looking forward.

[1:01:46] Patty, for you.

[1:01:47] All right.

[1:01:49] Next, we have council comments, ideas, questions, and maybe 1, 2, 3, 4 reports.

[1:01:58] So, I've seen the kind of cuter bake.

[1:02:03] The, I said, that's the best, the blue plate.

[1:02:08] I'm a little bit mean, because there are on the 21st, I was at the Wiles 2, the Sermon,

[1:02:15] I want to exactly the meaning.

[1:02:19] We had two carry supervisors, they were strongness, and there was a really good discussion about

[1:02:23] how the cow board and the development and the last G8 would be more collaborative on

[1:02:32] the other issues with groundwater and they did the next journey to providers did vote to extend

[1:02:41] them right away for living there, but there's a lot of really good cooperative efforts we

[1:02:47] to be proactive on groundwater and we try to look some really good programs that people

[1:02:54] have about the county we're doing. I'm at 22nd and we found, we was by Criterium, we had about

[1:03:01] 90 miles, we were bicycle accidents, couple of drivers that probably no better. The kids

[1:03:10] was small, but the kids were very excited about doing the race. And then on the 27th I'm going to

[1:03:17] look at this ribbon kind of, it's really great to see that. I square grad, it's turning,

[1:03:27] because it's very insured. There, and I was like, you had a really great show there, and the food

[1:03:31] was good, and it's clear that there was tea for a total amount of time. Anyway, it's great to see

[1:03:38] I'm moving forward and doing that kind of support and that's about it.

[1:03:45] There's a lot for a vacation there.

[1:03:49] I have a few things.

[1:03:50] I participated in a C-Cog Transportation Meeting on August 6.

[1:03:54] I attended the Climate Action Committee on August 10.

[1:03:57] And there was a presentation by Brian Avanak of YTD on the short term transit plan.

[1:04:04] So I wanted to make sure that I was present for that.

[1:04:07] August 17th I attended, I was invited and attended a strategic planning committee meeting

[1:04:12] for SACARP and there was a specific presentation on RENA.

[1:04:18] So if anybody wants information, I have lots and lots.

[1:04:24] On August 19th I attended the Card of Meeting as an alternate, on August 26th I attended

[1:04:29] the two by two with the winner school district, along with mayor of ISEO.

[1:04:34] On August 28th, I attended a YTD planning meeting via Zoom, and that's for next Monday's meeting.

[1:04:42] And then, and especially great time at the fourth Friday event last Friday, it was so lively.

[1:04:50] There was so, it just felt great, great music, great people, great car show.

[1:04:56] Talking to the owners of the cars, it was just a...

[1:05:00] I'm really lovely evening and I'm glad that we offer that in town. I just want to say that there have been a few emails and a Facebook post about street pick up, the calendar for leaf drop is the leaves are already dropping now. So a lot of people have been commenting on wanting to have more pickups at this time.

[1:05:28] And so I'm not requesting that being item yet, but I just wanted to share that that is a community discussion.

[1:05:37] I believe the calendar changes now as we're pulling the fall. It will be more difficult.

[1:05:44] Yeah, they want them now not been December. Like if you look outside, there are piles everywhere, especially on the side of town that has larger yards.

[1:05:55] There's just enormous piles, but there won't be pickup for, I don't know, two weeks, and then it's on it.

[1:06:02] I believe it's Tuesday for my side of town.

[1:06:04] I don't know what it is on the other side of town, but it's a long-term.

[1:06:10] It's a long-term.

[1:06:10] It's like a long-term amount of weeks between pickups right now, and this is a time to, you know,

[1:06:18] you're pruning your garden, you're taking it out, you're everything that's overgrown from summer.

[1:06:22] So it's, there's a great need this time of year.

[1:06:33] We'll turn the break.

[1:06:34] And we all got the flock audit data and a PDF format.

[1:06:38] That was virtually unusable from that form.

[1:06:42] So I took the 10,000 pages from that.

[1:06:44] And basically did I do it work and convert it into a useful data set

[1:06:48] and third and third and third and third and with a software.

[1:06:51] And summarize it.

[1:06:52] So I'd encourage you all to take a look at it.

[1:06:55] There are a couple things.

[1:06:56] So I think are of concern, namely, we have 107 organizations that are not on our transparency

[1:07:01] portal as having access, but they're still searching us somehow.

[1:07:06] I don't know if it's a configuration error, or a system error, or what, I think that

[1:07:12] that also showed that winners PD is being very, very responsible with how we are using the

[1:07:17] system.

[1:07:17] So, I think the question for everybody if you take a look at it is, are you concerned about any of the access from organizations that are not on our list or organizations that we have partnered with that are also running searches for unapproved purposes like assisting federal agents?

[1:07:40] So, let's all have.

[1:07:44] I'm here for time.

[1:07:45] Yeah, thank you, Mayor.

[1:07:46] Yeah, I'm August 19th.

[1:07:48] I attend the Animal Services JPA meeting.

[1:07:52] We get an update at each meeting from the director of the shelter, which is Stephanie

[1:07:58] Amado and shows talks about how many dogs how many cats they have and the shelter at that time.

[1:08:04] And there's another, a new non-profit that was formed just within the last couple months.

[1:08:09] that is aiming to help to reduce the number of

[1:08:15] stress that are out there.

[1:08:17] They want to open up a center where they can increase

[1:08:21] low-cost Bay and neutering services.

[1:08:24] Because that's what really impacts the shelter

[1:08:28] populations as some of these bodies.

[1:08:30] These fell cats or animals that are out there that are not

[1:08:32] spading neutered.

[1:08:33] We're producing and put a big burden on the shelter itself.

[1:08:37] So the county CEO's office is doing a RFP for services to see any non-profits out there

[1:08:46] that might be able to provide the services for this, the use of building that's on the

[1:08:53] county property that has been put hundreds of thousands of dollars into it in the last

[1:08:59] year to make it a surgical center that can be used for being neutered and it's sitting unused

[1:09:04] of this time, so they're putting out the sort of P to try to get non-profits or others who

[1:09:09] can come out and provide low cost pain during services to those that's in your locality.

[1:09:15] So that's ongoing. We're still working on the governance model part of it for the JPA.

[1:09:21] Something that will go on through next year.

[1:09:27] Thank you. I'm mind was a fairly short list.

[1:09:32] It was fairly quiet early in the month, I was gone, and then, as Council Member Laura

[1:09:40] and said, I attended the Wikers Joint Unified School District 2 by 2, and then last week,

[1:09:46] I had the opportunity and was invited by Congress and Mike Thompson to a meeting regarding

[1:09:52] the housing bill, which, after the president didn't sign it for 10 days, it became law.

[1:10:00] And so we call together housing agencies and not propossates from across the county to meet at the Housing Authority

[1:10:09] office and it was a round table where we took questions and comments from each of the people there that were probably 25 attendees.

[1:10:19] It was very instructional to see the breadth of people working towards housing across our region.

[1:10:31] And so I think the intent was, there was a pass, but there was still trying to work out how it would be implemented.

[1:10:38] And I believe that what the Congressman was trying to gather information for.

[1:10:44] And then yesterday I attended an online meeting with the Old Transportation Board along with

[1:10:53] Council Member Lauren regarding the upcoming budgets and the short-term transit plan.

[1:11:04] We have short-term transit plan as it's called and do be some hard decisions to make

[1:11:11] because it leaves the proposed budget correct me if I'm wrong.

[1:11:16] Seems like it's going to be reduced by 80 by 20% to 80%

[1:11:21] of the current service.

[1:11:24] And winners, because of her size, we have very small amount

[1:11:31] of service.

[1:11:33] And what service we do have when you take 20% away,

[1:11:37] it gets much smaller.

[1:11:40] But that's kind of a common issue that we face as a city, we're too small for so many things.

[1:11:46] We don't get counted or we don't, and it's an ongoing discussion.

[1:11:53] I think we all have in different venues that we work.

[1:11:57] But the good news is the 2020's coming back, or proposed to be coming back, which some people may not know.

[1:12:06] The due 20 is the fixed line bus service which used to run between Davis, Winters and

[1:12:14] Vacaville.

[1:12:15] It used to run prior to the pandemic for four times a day and my experience was when I was

[1:12:23] a university staff member.

[1:12:27] I used to write the bus to work with about 15 to 20 other university workers because it met

[1:12:34] schedule of the university or close to it so that you can get to work on time and get back,

[1:12:40] you can put your bike on the bike rack, so you had your bike when you're not to the university,

[1:12:44] but it also went to Vacaville. So, I know very little about that, but we

[1:12:52] Council Member Lauren, Council Member Lauren, and I together have come to work with the Transportation Board to bring back the 2020, because you'll sit in those transportation board meetings, and we'll talk about how all the cities have received their...

[1:13:17] We're trying to normal service, well, that never happened here.

[1:13:22] For expanded service.

[1:13:25] And so, again, it's always kind of a struggle with these efficiencies.

[1:13:34] And so, gentlemen, we're going to be a little more familiar to remind people that September 26th,

[1:13:49] We have a lot of music, lots of entertainers, lots of non-profit booths, lots of free stuff.

[1:14:02] So that would be up on September 26th, it's going to happen.

[1:14:05] All right.

[1:14:06] Thank you for the note.

[1:14:08] at the law

[1:14:12] of all right puts it last words we're joined it 744

[1:14:19] it really hard come on

[1:14:24] I did it really hard in a meeting at transportation like

[1:14:32] and I'm meant to go to bed.

[1:14:35] Go to bed.

[1:14:37] We're going to spend a lot of training in the grocery.

[1:14:40] I have a lot of stuff.

[1:14:40] Yeah, that's coming up as it.
