00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,680
one nation under God, indivisible, with

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,680

18
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,160
» Good evening, Waycross City Council.

00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,990
>> Oh, thank you.

41
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Motion passes unanimously. Item number

42
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,480
four, presentations. We have two

43
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,960
presentations this evening. The first

44
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:51,360
one is our own resilience planner, Sarah

45
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,960
Chaffee, and she's going to be talking

46
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,160
to us about the green waste program,

47
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,320
um, a community engagement dashboard.

48
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:07,990
Good evening.

49
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,360
» Good evening, Council. My name is Sarah

50
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Chaffee. I'm the Resilience Planner for

51
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,000
the City of Yreka,

52
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,120
um, and I'm here tonight to present a

53
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,520
community engagement dashboard for the

54
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,360
green waste program.

55
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,240
was launched in

56
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,880
the fall of 2024 with the support of a

57
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,320
Cal Fire grant for the Yreka Regional

58
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,200
Fuels Disposal and City Fuels Reduction

59
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,880
project, which utilizes an air curtain

60
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,480
burner to safely dispose of collected

61
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,560
hazardous vegetation fuel and woody

62
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,040
debris.

63
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,800
Uh, that fall we collected 27,000 cubic

64
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,000
feet of green waste over a period of six

65
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,760
drop-off dates.

66
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,760
Community members from all over Siskiyou

67
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,600
took part in the program, and to date we

68
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,240
have served 641 properties across

69
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,520
Siskiyou County.

70
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,520
To continue tracking data and to share

71
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,280
green waste program progress, we

72
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,040
developed the Yreka green waste

73
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,400
dashboard. This is an interactive

74
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,120
community engagement tool to help

75
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,600
visualize program data and findings.

76
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,519
As you can see on the dashboard, within

77
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:14,360
the City of Yreka alone, 168

78
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,600
participating properties are located in

79
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,320
very high fire hazard severity zones.

80
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,800
Our data also reveals that 97% of Yreka

81
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,800
parcels in the very high fire hazard

82
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,880
severity zones have not yet been treated

83
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,280
through the green waste program.

84
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,360
This data helps us know where exactly to

85
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,519
direct our defensible space and home

86
00:03:34,519 --> 00:03:36,560
hardening outreach.

87
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,400
A spreadsheet of data is great for grant

88
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,600
reporting, but this dashboard helps

89
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,280
include our community and our

90
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,000
decision-makers.

91
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,519
The dashboard includes real-time

92
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:47,680
participation tracking. It measures

93
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,600
green waste intake in real time, which

94
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,239
is why we ask residents to fill out a

95
00:03:51,239 --> 00:03:53,560
digital form at drop-off.

96
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,440
It allows us to visualize community

97
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,960
wildfire readiness by mapping drop-off locations against fire risk

98
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:01,040
layers.

99
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,760
We can deploy targeted outreach where

100
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,200
defensible space work is needed.

101
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,800
Uh it's also public engagement aspects

102
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,120
like being easily accessible and

103
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,520
mobile-friendly. Um so you can pull this

104
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,480
up on your cell phone as well.

105
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,160
Um and we hope it encourages our

106
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,000
community to participate in wildfire

107
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,359
resilience efforts to keep our

108
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:21,120
communities safe.

109
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,160
Uh the dashboard also helps track our

110
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,480
grant performance. Our initial goal, as

111
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,080
you can see in the upper right-hand

112
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,240
corner, depending on where you're

113
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,200
sitting, um

114
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,080
shows that our our goal was to treat 150

115
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,000
acres or 750 acres. Um 150 acres per

116
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,080
year, 750 acres in total. Um as of

117
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,800
today, we have already exceeded that

118
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,600
goal by 722 acres.

119
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,880
We estimate treated treated acreage by

120
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,600
We estimated this treated acreage by

121
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,360
overlaying green waste drop-off data

122
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,320
with parcel boundaries. While some

123
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,840
residents may clear a whole yard, others

124
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,320
may bring a single load of garden

125
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,360
cleanup. The spatial mapping gives us a

126
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,240
reliable estimate of the footprint that

127
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,520
is actively being treated. The goal of

128
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,200
this dashboard is to empower our

129
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,120
community to demonstrate that collective

130
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,640
fuels reduction efforts can make a

131
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,680
measurable impact. The dashboard will be live on the city

132
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,720
website, and I encourage you to explore

133
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,880
and interact with the data. Thank you.

134
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,990
Craig.

135
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,880
» Um the next presentation that we have

136
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,800
this evening is Lindsay Clevenger. She's

137
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,280
the executive director of Madrone

138
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:31,880
Hospice.

139
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,480
>> Good evening.

140
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,240

I'm quite tall.

143
00:05:37,328 --> 00:05:38,200
>> [laughter]

144
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,160
>> I can talk a little.

145
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,000
>> Hello, sir.

146
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,400
>> Hello, Craig.

147
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,550
I'm too tall for my own good, eh?

148
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,919
» You're perfect.

149
00:05:46,919 --> 00:05:48,680
>> I made a little handout. Am I able to

150
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,400
hand that out?

151
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:49,640
>> Yeah.

152
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,400
>> Okay, perfect.

153
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,470
>> Sounds good.

154
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,230
Wonderful.

155
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,840
» So, my name's Lindsey Clevenger. I'm the

156
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,640
executive director of Madrone Hospice.

157
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,800
I'm here tonight with Sarah Kerr, and

158
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,000
she is the brains behind the senior

159
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
program down at the senior center.

160
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Um I just wanted to talk to you a little

161
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,960
bit about the programs that we offer.

162
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,480
Um Madrone Hospice has been in

163
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,800
partnership with the city of Yreka, I

164
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,840
believe since 2009, well before my time.

165
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:28,120
Um we work hand in hand with the city of

166
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,400
Yreka. Um our programs are offered at

167
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,080
the community center down at 810 Oregon

168
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,000
Street. Um we are also funded by PSA2

169
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,240
and the Older Americans Act.

170
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,480
Um and we offered a a slew of really

171
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,520
wonderful programs to help the seniors

172
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,320
within our community.

173
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,880
Um one of them is our congregate meal

174
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,240
program. So, every day, Monday through

175
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,720
Friday, we have lunch for our seniors.

served that to almost 140 different

188
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,600
participants. And so, the participants

189
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,320
within our community really find value

190
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,360
within this program. It helps to get

191
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,280
people out of their homes.

192
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,840
Um it helps to provide community and

193
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,440
fellowship. And those that struggle

194
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,440
financially with meals, it helps in that

195
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,160
regard, as well.

196
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,320
Um, we also have a home delivered meals

197
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,640
program for those um, seniors that are

198
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:53,120
unable to leave their homes. And so we make meals at the senior center, we

199
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,000
package them up, and then we bring them

200
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,960
to seniors homes. We do that also Monday

201
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,240
through Friday. This last year we

202
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,040
provided almost 20,000 meals.

203
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,400
And so that is a very wonderful program

204
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,000
um,

205
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,240
as well.

206
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,680
We also have senior transportation. So

207
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,280
this is for our um, senior folks who are

208
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,919
unable to drive and they've got medical

209
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:18,560
appointments, they need to go to, you

210
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,280
know, the doctor's office, dentist, they

211
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,520
need to pick up groceries, errands, um,

212
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,720
so on and so forth. We are able to pick

213
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,560
them up at their homes, bring them to

214
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,160
their appointments, and then we bring

215
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,440
them back.

216
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,320
Um, that program we recently expanded,

217
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,960
so that's Monday through Friday 8:30

218
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,280
a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Um, this last year we

219
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,800
provided uh, little over 5,600 trips.

220
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,120
And so that has been really impactful to

221
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,560
a lot of seniors as well.

222
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:49,960
Um, another program we have is our

223
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,760
caregiver respite program. And this ties

224
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,160
in quite a bit um, with the Madrone

225
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,680
House, the hospice house. And so the

226
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:02,000
respite program is really wonderful um,

227
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,640
you know, when we have uh,

228
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,760
hospice patients at our home and they

229
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,440
have a full-time caregiver and the

230
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,320
caregiver is either having caregiver

231
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,440
burnout or fatigue or even, gosh, I'm

232
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,640
going to go out of town cuz I have a a

233
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,160
family's graduation or an event of

234
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,640
sorts. Um,

235
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,880
then we can provide respite at the

236
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,360
hospice house for 5 days. And so that is

237
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,440
a really wonderful um, way to give those

238
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,720
caregivers a bit of a break.

239
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,480
Um, and last year we provided about

240
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,040
2,600 hours of respite care um, the

241
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,560
Madrone house.

242
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:43,600
We also have a bit of an aside with that with the

243
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,920
respite program where we have volunteers

244
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,480
that can go into somebody's house and

245
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,440
provide respite. Say somebody a

246
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,160
full-time caregiver just needed to go

247
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,440
for the afternoon. And so we'll have a

248
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,200
volunteer go sit with that patient, that

249
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,080
person's loved one for the afternoon.

250
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,000
They're able to get out of the house, do

251
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,720
what they need to do, whatever that is,

252
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,240
or simply do what they prefer to do just

253
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,080
for a little bit of a break. And so

254
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,760
that's a really wonderful, you know,

255
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,880
deeply impactful program for a lot of

256
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,960
people as well.

257
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,040
In addition to those, we've got some

258
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,480
programs that help with our seniors

259
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,080
movement and activity.

260
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,840
I have not yet been, but we have a tai

261
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,560
chi class that I hear is fantastic.

262
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,160
Twice a week, that's on Tuesdays and

263
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,600
Fridays.

264
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,400
I've heard really wonderful things about

265
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,400
it. We have about 25 participants that,

266
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,320
you know,

267
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,360
love going. And so

268
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,880
I need to get around to going, but it's

269
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,760
I've heard I've heard good things about

270
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,760
it. Also, there's line dancing. So if

271
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,400
that's your thing, a lot of people love

272
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,200
that as well. And so both of those are

273
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,400
at the community center.

274
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,480
And like I said before, the city of

275
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,880
Warrenton so graciously lets us use that

276
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,000
community center and we are very very

277
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
grateful for that. Um

278
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,160
we also have the senior

279
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,680
resource directory, which we do every

280
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:11,120
year. I brought a couple copies.

281
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,120
And so this

282
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,760
resource directory is wonderful. We try

283
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,960
to pass it out throughout the county,

284
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,240
certainly throughout the city.

285
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,960
And it just provides resources

286
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,680
for all things related to seniors. So

287
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:26,280
whether it be doctor's offices,

288
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,160
transportation, meal delivery, anything

289
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,880
that you can think of, we try to keep it

290
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,880
in one spot so that if you're in need if

291
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,800
you've got a family member in need

292
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,840
somebody that you care about that you

293
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,600
have needs for

294
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,600
you can grab this and it's just a wealth

295
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,320
of information.

296
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,160
And so if anybody would like one I have

297
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,520
extra.

298
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,680
In addition to that we have an annual

299
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:52,880
senior fair and so we try to get

300
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,240
everybody.

301
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,320
In the community together in the county

302
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,800
together just in one spot generally

303
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,080
that's in May and we open that up in the

304
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,560
senior center as well or in the

305
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:06,480
community center rather

306
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,920
and that's just a place that if you have

307
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,880
questions or you're trying to find

308
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,400
resources

309
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,480
for somebody you know or for yourself

310
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,760
we're all in one spot so public health

311
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,440
the hospital

312
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,040
um.

313
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,160
You know

314
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,640
Madrone of course.

315
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,160
Anybody that you can think of is

316
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,840
generally there and that's just a really

317
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,000
fun fun way to get everything you need

318
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,520
information you need all in one spot and

319
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,680
so

320
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:34,400
that's a quick run through of the

321
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,240
programs that we offer and like I said

322
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,920
you know we have been in partnership

323
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,360
with the city of Yreka to provide those

324
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,360
programs since about 2009

325
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,320
and so we are forever grateful of that

326
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,120
you know with continued federal and

327
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,560
state. Cuts to our funding we are always

328
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:56,000
working on working through various

329
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,960
deficits to make sure these programs

330
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,160
don't go undisturbed

331
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,960
and so you know that's always a

332
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,760
challenge for us but we carry on

333
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,360
nonetheless

334
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,240
and so you know thank you for your

335
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,800
support and for supporting Madrone and

336
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,760
the seniors in our community it really

337
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,080
means a lot to us so

338
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,080
that's what I've got if anybody has any

339
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,870
questions I'm here for it.

340
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,520
» Thank you so much Lindsay that's great.

341
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:33,710
>> thank you.

342
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,520

evening?

367
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,760
There's no public comment, so I'll move

368
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,320
along to the consent agenda. All matters

369
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,120
listed under the consent agenda are

370
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,200
considered routine and

371
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,720
non-controversial, and will be enacted

372
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,000
by one motion unless any member of the

373
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,400
council wishes to remove an item for

374
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,839
discussion.

375
00:14:52,839 --> 00:14:54,920
>> Madam Mayor, there's an item on here

376
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,960
that I noticed that is

377
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:57,560
uh

378
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,880
from you and from Will Ibershoff, and I uh and I mentioned it to Will. I don't

379
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,520
know if you're speaking for yourself or

380
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,160
all of us. There's a letter to a

381
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,560
Honorable Monique Limón,

382
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,160
but in the past we have had

383
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,880
uh in my years on the council we have

384
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,480
had um

385
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,280
different we've had some people send

386
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,920
mayors on behalf of the council that the

387
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,360
council did not was not aware of, and

388
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,800
this is something that's new to me, I

389
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,640
don't know if this is um I'd like to

390
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,040
pull this off, and then we can maybe put

391
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,520
it on another

392
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,400
uh

393
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,240
have city clerk put it on another

394
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,920
uh agenda that we can talk about and

395
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,520
make sure that we're all there. I don't

396
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,040
know unless I missed a vote on it or

397
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,480
something uh because we don't typically

398
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,120
I can't speak for the council. I can't

399
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,760
sign a letter for the council. Typically

400
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,360
one person can't do that unless we've

401
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,960
agreed on that.

402
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:48,840
So,

403
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,040
>> May- Mayor, it's Will the city manager.

404
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,200
That letter has not gone out. The whole

405
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,000
idea was to see if council wished to

406
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,720
authorize it, so

407
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,880
we could either discuss it later, or we

408
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,520
could schedule for the September 1st

409
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,080
meeting. Purely up to you.

410
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,760
>> Okay, so um Council Member McCoy, you'd

411
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,960
like item E pulled from the consent

412
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:07,520
agenda.

413
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,440
>> Yeah, and and put on the September 1st

414
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,080
agenda. Would be wonderful.

415
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,440
>> Yeah, submit by August 26th to be

416
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:14,880
submitted

417
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,440
>> O- okay. Okay. But I'm it's not an emergency on my part

418
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,080
right now. Um I think

419
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,560
>> Okay, so we're going to pull that, and

420
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,480
we will discuss it after the consent

421
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,720
agenda is adopted. We'll bring this item

422
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,360
for discussion.

423
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,920
And you can make a motion to

424
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,400
um

425
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,910
move it to another meeting at that time.

426
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,400
All right. So, the consent agenda we um

427
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,080
item A through D, what are the wishes of

428
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,150
the council?

429
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,520
» It's Councilman Clary. I make a motion

430
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,800
to adopt the consent agenda items A

431
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,760
through D as in David

432
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,400
of the city council of the city of

433
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,200
Eureka as presented with those items.

434
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,760
>> Councilman Middleton, I'll second.

435
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,080
>> I have a motion from Council Member

436
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,520
Clary, second by Council Member

437
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,319
Middleton to approve the consent agenda

438
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:06,520
items A through D.

439
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,319
All those in favor, please signify by

440
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,600
saying I.

441
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,000
>> I.

442
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,120
>> Motion passes unanimously. Um item E um,

443
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:20,480
been pulled from the consent agenda. Mr.

444
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,309
McCoy.

445
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:25,480
» Yes.

446
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,280
>> So, what are your wishes regarding this

447
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:28,560
item?

448
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,960
>> to do that now, or you want to do it

449
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,960
after we finish other business? I wasn't

450
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:32,920
clear on that.

451
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,600
>> No, we'll discuss it now.

452
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,560
>> Um, I'd like to table it for the next

453
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,960
meeting. Um, I'm hearing from, uh, the

454
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,760
assistant city manager that it's due on

455
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,280
September 1st. Is there a reason why

456
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,240
it's just being brought to us now? Why

457
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,760
it's why it's so late in the month?

458
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,760
>> Sir, so give me a second. Um, so, uh,

459
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Governor Newsom has issued a report

460
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,200
outlining several different wildfire

461
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,680
mitigation, um, initiatives, I guess is

462
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,040
a good way of putting it for the state

463
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,000
of California. A couple of those

464
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,680
initiatives, which are outlined in the

465
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,320
letter, um, would essentially limit the

466
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,520
city's ability to recover from any

467
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,720
wildfires that were started by utility

468
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,640
companies, and so they are accepting

469
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,640
comments to

470
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,520
>> Are you are you answering

471
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,800
I'm just asking the question. Is there a

472
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,280
reason why we're just getting it now,

473
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,040
why we didn't get it earlier? Why didn't

474
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,640
get it a meeting ago? That's that's all

475
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,560
I'm asking right now.

476
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,680
>> Oh, uh, so this is a drafted letter

477
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,400
based off of, um, essentially a public

478
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,680
push from the League of California

479
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,240
Cities, along with several other

480
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,560
governing bodies, and we got this on,

481
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,880
uh, Wednesday or Thursday, I believe, of

482
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,600
last week. So, we put it on your agenda

483
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,920
to consider signing on to the letter

484
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,840
issuing stating that it would be

485
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,080
detrimental to the city if these were to

486
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:42,240
take

487
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,520
>> I understand. I'm just asking for the

488
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,800
date right now. And the language that

489
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,800
came from Governor Governor Newsom's

490
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,160
office says that it is due on September

491
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,560
1st in the state capital.

492
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,640
>> No, it's due August 26th.

493
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,720
So, they they California League of

494
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,840
Cities

495
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,120
referred it to me. I can't remember it

496
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:02,600
was Wednesday afternoon or Thursday

497
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,600
morning of last week. And because the

498
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,600
language would severely limit our

499
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,280
recovery efforts

500
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,000
if a the local power company had a fire

501
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,960
that was caused by one of their lines.

502
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,040
>> I I understand that. I'm

503
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,280
My question is when did we get when did

504
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,880
we when did we find out about this? My

505
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,880
question is when is it due? And it

506
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,440
sounds like it's due

507
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,080
uh now.

508
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,280
Um I would like to ask that it be put on

509
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,760
for a special meeting we later this week

510
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,520
so that we can have an hour just just a

511
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,720
short meeting so we can go over it.

512
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,720
That's that's what I'd like to do. I'm

513
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,200
just asking for those two things.

514
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,000
>> Okay, sorry.

515
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,240
>> Why are we just getting it why we're

516
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,560
just getting it now? Why

517
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,560
you know

518
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,280
and expecting it to

519
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,880
I used to have a saying in my office

520
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,000
that in a

521
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,280
tardiness on some not on you guys but

522
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,640
tardiness on the state's part or

523
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,600
California League of California League

524
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,400
of Cities does not equate to an

525
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,640
emergency on our part. So and in the

526
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,600
past we have uh

527
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,880
we have signed off on things like this

528
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,680
and letters that have gone off

529
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,280
but um it's not been without uh we ran

530
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,120
in we ran a foul of some things where

531
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:17,880
a mayor at one point in time um

532
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,840
sent some things off, made comments,

533
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,480
spoke at places on behalf of the council

534
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,520
when the council did not

535
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,400
um

536
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,960
you know, we we it's not something we

537
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,040
discussed so I mean there's another

538
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,360
thing I guess there's another one and

539
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:33,040
that would be to take our mayor's name

540
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,400
off of it and send it from our city

541
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,520
manager

542
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,120
um

543
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:38,360
just because if you if that's if that if

544
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:44,400
urgency is of the essence.

545
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,560
>> Uh

546
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,080
I've spoken to the assistant city

547
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,360
manager about this and from what I

548
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:51,360
understand the legislation had not read

549
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:54,040
it all but the governor was moving

550
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,000
rather quickly with this so our response

551
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,360
had to be timely to it. I personally

552
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:00,720
believe that it would be detrimental to

553
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,520
the city if we did not oppose it. So

554
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,440
that I'm willing to just if if the

555
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,200
council's wishes

556
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,840
uh I'll just sign myself and and go that

557
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,840
route. We can do that, too.

558
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,600
>> Well, does it say it needs signatures

559
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,080
from council members or what?

560
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,640
>> No, it just adds more weight to the

561
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,720
letter if it's signed by the council has

562
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,600
basically approved it, but it it it

563
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,600
still would send a message that Wyreka

564
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,040
and

565
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,280
at least a hundred others are opposed to

566
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:28,720
it.

567
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,400
>> I mean, we support our city manager. We

568
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,440
would not have hired him if we didn't

569
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,800
support him.

570
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,240
Um I just I'm I'm I'm just um again kind

571
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,320
of confused and I'm a little bit gun-shy

572
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,040
after eight years on this council of

573
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,160
people making statements or sending

574
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,000
letters that uh

575
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,360
you know, we kind of approved and didn't

576
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:46,760
realize we were getting them. They were

577
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,120
like this and then later on it comes

578
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:51,120
back to haunt us.

579
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:51,800
So.

580
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,680
>> I'll open it up for council discussion

581
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,960
at this time.

582
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:55,560
Um

583
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,320
Mr. Davis, do you have any concerns that

584
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,280
you'd like to voice?

585
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,200
>> No, I'm good.

586
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,790
>> Okay.

587
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:10,230
Mr. Middleton.

588
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,760
» Um

589
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,720
I kind of echo um

590
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,240
Councilman McCoy's

591
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,800
statement of

592
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,440
having things come to us so late. I know

593
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,720
sometimes it's beyond our control, but

594
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,600
to have it in front of us without

595
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,440
discussion. Um

596
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,120
I mean, we can maybe open it for

597
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:26,240
discussion afterwards. I don't know if

598
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,400
we need a

599
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,360
um

600
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:29,720
have a special meeting, but if we can

601
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,040
maybe go to the end of our meeting um

602
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,080
after we discuss the other business and

603
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,920
bring it forward for discussion

604
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,600
more detail what it's about and

605
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,360
the procedure or hearing maybe from our

606
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:42,800
assistant manager city manager or will

607
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,440
our manager how we proceed, but to have

608
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,000
it kind of brought to us and then oh, we

609
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,040
need to have it right now. That's that

610
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,200
has been things in the past that we've

611
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,520
all I think have been

612
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,200
not happy about having the ball dropped

613
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,680
on us. So, um

614
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,120
that's my only opinion at this point.

615
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:08,550
Return to the clerk.

616
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,320
» Seems to me it's something that it's not

617
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,240
intentionally held from us. If it came

618
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,160
last week, that's what I'm gathering.

619
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,320
It's not like it came the week before we

620
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,680
had a meeting, so I'd be obviously

621
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,040
that'd be a different situation, but it

622
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,960
seemed like it came the end of

623
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,200
last week, and we're just now having the

624
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,160
first meeting with it, so

625
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,360
if everybody wants [snorts] to move it

626
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:26,720
to the end to talk about it, I'm fine

627
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,600
with that. If that's will of the council

628
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,920
to have Will only sign it, I'm fine with

629
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,240
that, too, but it sounds like it needs

630
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,680
to be resolved

631
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,640
preferably today. So, obviously it's

632
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,080
something that needs to be resolved, so

633
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,280
>> Thank you.

634
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,840
And um my experience is with the League

635
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,920
of Cities, they do notify us just a few

636
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,240
days before there's a cutoff

637
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,280
um date for a letter of response, and I

638
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,640
hope that all the city council members

639
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:56,840
are

640
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,070
um

641
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,120
What's the word I'm looking for?

642
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,400

643
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,240

646
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,840

647
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,760
Wednesday, so um

648
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,240
I actually would just like to make the

649
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,520
motion

650
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,560
um that um this letter is signed by the

» I'll second that motion.

653
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,320

770
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,680
That's

771
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,320
body cams important asset to our

772
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,520
department nowadays.

773
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,640
>> Thank you so much. So, I will open it up

774
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,840
for questions at this time from the

775
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,560
council members.

776
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,240
Council member Middleton.

777
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,360
>> No questions.

778
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,000
>> Council member Davis.

779
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,120
>> I have a couple.

780
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:21,840
>> Definitely.

781
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,840
>> Um

782
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,680
do we have body cameras now?

783
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,240
>> We do.

784
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,040
They are

785
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,080
PatrolEyes.

786
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,600
They're little, they're hard to

787
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,640
manipulate the buttons.

788
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,880
They break easy.

789
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,800
And our storage is the problem with

790
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,680
those. They go right into our computer

791
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,520
system, not in the cloud-based, so it

792
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:42,960
eats up all our storage.

793
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,800
>> So, you're proposing

794
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,040
what?

795
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:46,800
E-file.

796
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,000
>> Yes.

797
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,600
>> I'm looking at the solution.

798
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,360
>> Yes.

799
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,960
>> So, and it says it's a 5-year deal.

800
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,510
At the end of the 5 years, what happens?

801
00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,840
» Probably have to go through it again or

802
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:00,840
upgrade.

803
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:01,560
>> I

804
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,640
think you said that with a 5-year on the

805
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,630
equipment.

806
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,280
You said Yeah, it has a

807
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,720
it's 5-year

808
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:12,640
life warranty.

809
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,360
>> Yeah, so Council member Davis, usually

810
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,800
what happens is at the end of the 5

811
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,880
years and I think there's a Motorola rep

812
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,040
here

813
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,560
um that could answer the question, but

814
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,280
it's my understanding that they offer

815
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,280
you

816
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,400
a renewal with newer cameras. But,

817
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,360
again, I I've only worked with Axon. I

818
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,560
haven't worked with Motorola, but I

819
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:31,840
assume they're similar.

820
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,400
>> Same same deal. So, we would be able to

821
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,600
offer you guys a renewal at that 5-year

822
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,640
mark and negotiate different things.

823
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,280
>> Okay.

824
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,160
Sounds like a good deal.

825
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,080
>> Thank you.

826
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,240
>> Councilmember McCoy.

827
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,520
Councilmember Claire.

828
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,960
So, Chief, I do have a question for you.

829
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,760
Um

830
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,200
Do you have um written departmental

831
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,120
policies and procedures regarding the

832
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,320
use of the body cams in place?

833
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,400
>> Yes, we do.

834
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,880
>> Okay.

835
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,320

8B on our agenda tonight is our planning

874
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,160
manager and this is the replacement

875
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,760
housing policy.

876
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,030
Welcome.

877
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,200
» Good evening, uh council members and

878
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,680
Madam Mayor. This is Alia Roca Lazra,

879
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,840
your planning manager.

880
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,680
The recommended action before you

881
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,120
tonight is to approve resolution

882
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,680
2026-28,

883
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,800
a resolution of the City Council of the

884
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,920
City of Eureka adopting a replacement

885
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,640
housing policy.

886
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,120
So, the purpose of this policy is really

887
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,640
to make sure that affordable housing in

888
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,600
the city is not lost through new housing

889
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,880
development.

890
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,480
And this is a policy uh that is state

891
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,160
mandated. It requires cities to

892
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,520
implement it. It applies when there is

893
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,640
any new development on a site within the

894
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,600
city's site inventory, which is uh

895
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,680
defined in the city's recently adopted

896
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,680
housing element. Cindy, would you please

897
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,160
um pull up the slide.

898
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,480
The site inventory is a listing of

899
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,400
sites, or in our case, we have one site

900
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,960
um that can accommodate the development

901
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,880
of the required number of affordable

902
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,560
units required by our regional housing

903
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,160
needs allocation, which was determined

904
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:07,320
by the state um the or the arena. Um

905
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,320
It also applies to

906
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,159
uh

907
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:14,800
developers seeking density bonuses um

908
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,080
for housing developments.

909
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,840
So, this is um

910
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,000
Exhibit B in the agenda. This is our

911
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,320
site inventory that this policy would

912
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,200
apply to. It's along Juniper Drive,

913
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:34,350
north of the um Juniper Apartments.

914
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,159
There are three criteria that would

915
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:38,960
trigger the policy for the sites.

916
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,919
Um so, if the site contains

917
00:34:41,919 --> 00:34:44,320
deed-restricted affordable units, have

918
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,240
had such units demolished or vacated

919
00:34:47,240 --> 00:34:50,240
within the last 5 years, or are actively

920
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:53,120
occupied by lower-income households,

921
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:58,400
those units would need to be replaced uh by the new developer and the new

922
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,830
housing development.

923
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,000
Um this policy satisfies the general

924
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,200
plan requirements, um specifically

925
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,680
mitigating the loss of affordable

926
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:15,200
housing units um on inventory sites.

927
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,840
The city shall immediately begin

928
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,680
implementing replacement housing where

929
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,640
applicable um and adopt a local policy,

930
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,480
which would be this policy.

931
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,000
This item is exempt from CEQA, the

932
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,800
California Environmental Quality Act.

933
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,280
Um and the recommended action before you

934
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,000
tonight is again approving resolution

935
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,080
2026-28,

936
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,120
a resolution of the City Council of the

937
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,640
City of Yreka adopting a replacement

938
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,640
housing policy in compliance with

939
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,200
California Government Code sections

940
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,520
65583.2

941
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,840
G3 and 65915 C3 and finding that the

942
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,560
activity is not subject to the

943
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,600
California Environmental Quality Act or

944
00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:59,960
CEQA.

945
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:01,800
That concludes my presentation, but I

946
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,440
know that

947
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,440
might be a confusing policy, so I'm here

948
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,240
for any questions.

949
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:08,560
>> Thank you.

950
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,640
Um I'll start with um Council Member

951
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,840
Middleton, do you have any questions?

952
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,280
>> No.

953
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,920
>> Council Member Davis?

954
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,240
>> I guess I do have one.

955
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:22,600
Um that the Yreka flock the flower

956
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,600
and we explored that in that area, is it

957
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,360
not a factor cuz that is an endangered

958
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,040
species.

959
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,520
>> Um I'm actually

960
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,120
not sure about that question, but this

961
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,440
site was designated

962
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,920
as, you know, ready to be developed.

963
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,640
So, I would assume that that's not a

964
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,800
factor, but I I can confirm that with

965
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,040
you, know, following up.

966
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:55,190
>> Okay. Thank you. Appreciate that.

967
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,880
» Council member McCoy.

968
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,680
>> No, I just like to thank

969
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,120
Aliyah for her work, and I'd like to

970
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:06,000
commend our city manager, Mr. Ivershaw, for his forward thinking,

971
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,400
because housing is of the utmost

972
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,630
importance now in this community.

973
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,200
» Council member Claire.

974
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,200
>> Okay, I have no questions.

975
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,680
Thank you.

976
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,760
I'll open it up this item up for public

977
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,110
comment at this time.

978
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,640
There's no public comment, so I will

979
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,960
bring it back to the council. What are

980
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,360
the wishes of the council?

981
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,160
>> Council Middleton, I will make the

982
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,510

983

unanimously.

1009
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:36,640
» Thank you. We're going to um to move on

1010
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:41,040
to item 8C. This is our assistant city

1011
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,560
manager.

1012
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,440
Um this is a general plan 2050 work plan

1013
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,160
update and visioning workshop. Welcome.

1014
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,240
>> Hello. Thank you, Mayor and Council. Um

1015
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:59,510
whenever you're ready, Cindy.

1016
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,310
Perfect.

1017
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,880
» All right. Thank you, uh Mayor and city

1018
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,560
council members. So, this, if you

1019
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,560
remember, we are updating a general

1020
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,840
plan. We've been doing that since 2022

1021
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,160
and had some uh sideways action with

1022
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,440
other projects. And so, now we are back

1023
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,640
on to the project uh in full force. And

1024
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,640
so, as you'll see from the first slide

1025
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,440
we have here is we did a little bit of a

1026
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,440
rebranding and a reframing for the time

1027
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,160
frame of the general plan. Originally,

1028
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,040
we had planned it for adoption in 2026

1029
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,480
as a 20-year plan to 2046.

1030
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,120
Um just decided to round it out to 2050.

1031
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,360
Um we are projected right now uh to have

1032
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,640
a document in front of you in 2027.

1033
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,360
Do you remember what year I'm in? And uh

1034
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,080
want to uh kind of cover some of the

1035
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,840
work plan for the next couple months uh

1036
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,480
among a couple of other items. Next

1037
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,600
slide, please.

1038
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,080
So, again, we'll review the work plan

1039
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,680
through December cuz I know some of our

1040
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,600
council members will not be continuing

1041
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,520
with us, which is a little bit sad. But,

1042
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,160
guess what? You get to be members of the

1043
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,400
public now who still get input into this

1044
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,840
plan. And so, whatever comes in front of

1045
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,560
you in the next couple of months as

1046
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,720
council members will still be available

1047
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,520
for the future council to weigh in on.

1048
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,160
So, I don't want you all to feel like

1049
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,120
you're making or committing decisions

1050
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,480
for a future council to make. And so

1051
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:19,800
want to make sure you're still a part of

1052
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,920
this progress as we move forward. So,

1053
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,880
what to expect in the next couple of

1054
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,240
months? We'll then go over our vision

1055
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:27,800
and guiding principles that the city

1056
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,880
council approved back in 2023.

1057
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,440
Want to make sure that we're still on

1058
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,360
course for the direction that you guys

1059
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,600
are looking for that represents the the

1060
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,360
residents of and businesses of Yreka and

1061
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:40,920
some of those guiding principles and how

1062
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,920
we plan to achieve that vision moving

1063
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,360
forward. And again, all of this is very

1064
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,240
flexible. This is the fun part of your

1065
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:50,760
jobs and so we can change these up any way you guys

1066
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,760
see fit tonight or in the future. And

1067
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,080
then I'd like to get some public

1068
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,920
feedback from all of you as well as

1069
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,280
members of the public who are here with

1070
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,920
us today on some of this information

1071
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,120
just to make sure we're getting

1072
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,480
everybody's voices communicated through

1073
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,920
this plan and just a very big next step

1074
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,880
at the end. So, next slide, please.

1075
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,280
Next slide.

1076
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,840
So, in August right now we're writing

1077
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,760
the existing conditions report for the

1078
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,760
general plan. So, thank you to Sarah

1079
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,240
Chaffee for some of the sections of

1080
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:19,960
that, but that's essentially going to

1081
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,360
set the baseline for the city of Yreka.

1082
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,960
So, we have that report projected to be

1083
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,200
completed at the end of September as you

1084
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,200
see here. Hopefully having a public

1085
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,240
workshop the last week of September if

1086
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:33,560
not the first week of October. And then

1087
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,840
hopefully your second meeting this in

1088
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,040
October we will bring the exist existing

1089
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,080
conditions report to the city council

1090
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,200
for review and comments. You know, your

1091
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,360
thoughts, questions, you're not seeing

1092
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,160
something or there's maybe a piece of

1093
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,640
data that's really interesting to you

1094
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,640
that we can kind of elaborate on for the

1095
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,320
general plan. And then in October as as

1096
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,120
I said before, we've got that we will

1097
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,080
start on the land use and community

1098
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,480
character element. So, we've expanded

1099
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,080
the land use element to include

1100
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,120
community character because we are now

1101
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,360
required to have what are called

1102
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,520
objective design requirements for

1103
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,640
affordable housing projects

1104
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,680
as well as some of the feedback that we

1105
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,360
heard during the visioning process is a

1106
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,280
lot of people do want to see a little

1107
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,520
bit more of a consistent design style

1108
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,120
for the city of Weed, and the input that

1109
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,720
we're primarily getting is taking the

1110
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,000
historic district architectural style,

1111
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,840
so your interesting Victorians,

1112
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,520
mid-century modern, and expanding those

1113
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,600
into other design standards to keep

1114
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,520
seeing that consistent architectural

1115
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:32,920
style throughout the city with new

1116
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,840
development. So, this is kind of a

1117
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,880
technique to avoid some of those kind of

1118
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,080
just block kind of

1119
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,760
industrial-looking buildings, although

1120
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,360
nothing is wrong with those buildings if

1121
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,240
that's what you would like to see.

1122
00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:45,640
But, the feedback we're getting from the

1123
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,840
general public is leaning more towards

1124
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,360
requiring some more higher architectural

1125
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:51,560
standards for some of our new

1126
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,800
development. And so, we'll be working on

1127
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,240
that in the land use and character

1128
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:57,120
element, and then we will be completing

1129
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,360
a draft of a proposed zoning code for

1130
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,240
you. And so, one of the things we did

1131
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:04,000
with this process is we're not only

1132
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,640
updating the general plan, which is a

1133
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,920
very big 20-year plan, which is very

1134
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,520
hard for people to conceptualize

1135
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,640
sometimes, we're also bringing you what

1136
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,800
we call implementation documents. And

1137
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,680
so, a zoning code is actually an

1138
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,200
implementation document of your land use

1139
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,720
element. It's taking your 20-year plan,

1140
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:23,440
it's distilling it into actionable zones

1141
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,400
and standards for development you want

1142
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,120
to see, and it's pushing that towards

1143
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,760
that 20-year plan. So, we're hoping with

1144
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,920
both the 20-year outlook and how we plan

1145
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,760
to tackle it today will help people kind

1146
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,520
of conceptualize how this all comes

1147
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,880
together and how we get to that 20-year

1148
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,280
vision that we'll talk about here

1149
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,840
shortly. Next slide, please.

1150
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,120
And then in November, we will continue

1151
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,640
to have city council and public

1152
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,640
engagement on that land use element and

1153
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,560
community character. The community

1154
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,120
character aspect is the one we want to

1155
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,720
make sure meets your needs and the

1156
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:57,480
residents as well, because it's a very

1157
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,000
new section for the city of Weed.

1158
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,880
And then with the land use element, the

1159
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,480
really important pieces that are coming

1160
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,840
out of that is your your land use is

1161
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,000
your zoning maps, your where you're

1162
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,920
going to place things, and how are those

1163
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,480
things going to be developed in a way

1164
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,000
that meet your future goal. So, we are

1165
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,720
planning to do public engagement of all

1166
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:17,120
of the property owners. If you will

1167
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,920
remember, that is a program in our

1168
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,320
housing element that we wanted to

1169
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,400
prioritize, which is making sure people

1170
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,280
know, "Guess what? We're changing your

1171
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,720
zoning to meet this new plan." We want

1172
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:29,320
to give people time to understand what

1173
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,320
is the proposed new zoning code that

1174
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,560
we're looking at, what is the projected

1175
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,840
zone for that property at this time, and

1176
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,240
give property owners at least about 30

1177
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:40,640
to 45 days to respond to those letters

1178
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,920
and say, "Yep, I'm really in favor of

1179
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,480
moving forward with this." or "No, I

1180
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,200
don't like it for this reason." and then

1181
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,520
that way we're able to work with

1182
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,080
property owners as we move through this

1183
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,120
rezoning process.

1184
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,160
We will have a second letter that will

1185
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:55,840
go out to property owners as part of

1186
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,920
this process later, once you have

1187
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,680
determined this is the direction we're

1188
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,880
going. So, people will be thoroughly

1189
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,880
notified this time around when we do

1190
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,760
land use changes in zoning code changes.

1191
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,640
And then in December, we will update

1192
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,280
that land use and community character

1193
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,000
element with your input that we get in

1194
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,720
November, and then we will begin

1195
00:45:13,720 --> 00:45:15,480
drafting the circulation element, which

1196
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,520
is your transportation

1197
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,320
and utilities. Although, some of your

1198
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,040
utilities will be pulled out in a

1199
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,680
standalone element called public

1200
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,120
facilities, which you have in your

1201
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,560
current general plan. We will continue

1202
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,800
that tradition of keeping your water

1203
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,120
wastewater into public facilities, where

1204
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,680
circulation will be primarily

1205
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,040
transportation and telecommunications

1206
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,160
focused. Next slide, please.

1207
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,960
So, I want to take a moment to go back

1208
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,480
over your vision and guiding principles,

1209
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,000
and just kind of walk you through the

1210
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,640
process that we took to get here, as

1211
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,080
well as members of the public. Next

1212
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,320
slide, please.

1213
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,360
So, we really took a measured approach

1214
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:54,680
for going through this visioning

1215
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,240
process, because one of the really fun,

1216
00:45:57,240 --> 00:45:59,120
but also daunting things is you do not

1217
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,400
have a vision statement for the city.

1218
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,400
So, that's a very unique. Uh most cities

1219
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,720
usually have a statement that's adopted

1220
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:07,080
by the city council in their general

1221
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,800
plan that says, "Who do you want to be

1222
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,600
when you grow up?" Um you don't, which

1223
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,880
gives us a lot of uh ability to kind of

1224
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,640
move forward. You The world is your

1225
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,920
oyster and options. Uh just one click,

1226
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,080
please.

1227
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,960
So, we took a three-stage approach, and

1228
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,560
the first one was developing some

1229
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,520
foundations. You know, what is

1230
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,440
visioning? There was a lot of

1231
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,120
apprehension at the beginning of this

1232
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,600
process for people to participate. Um

1233
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:31,960
because they really haven't been asked

1234
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,080
to participate before. And so, we did a

1235
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,120
number of different public engagement

1236
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,400
strategies, workshops, surveying, focus

1237
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:40,920
groups, interviews with people

1238
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,040
throughout this process of developing

1239
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:44,600
the vision to really kind of just get

1240
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,880
people familiar with the process and and

1241
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,600
make sure they're they feel heard during

1242
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,520
this kind of, you know, really fun civic

1243
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,440
process. Uh next click, please.

1244
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,440
From the foundation of kind of exploring

1245
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,320
values and what you could do, and some

1246
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,800
of the questions we asked is, "What does

1247
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,040
rural and small town mean for you?" We

1248
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,880
then went through kind of that input

1249
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,920
that we got, and we started exploring

1250
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,480
what are those key themes and things

1251
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,280
that really resonate with you as the

1252
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,640
elected officials of this community. You

1253
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,480
do get to make that choice for people in

1254
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,360
the general public, but we did also do

1255
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,360
some more focused um kind of meetings

1256
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,960
related to what really felt good for

1257
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,520
those residents and businesses

1258
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,200
throughout the community.

1259
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,120
And from there, a third and final click

1260
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,480
for this slide.

1261
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,320
Uh we went through and refined it. And

1262
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,040
so, uh if you'll remember, we went

1263
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:31,560
through the planning commission as well

1264
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,120
as the city council to kind of talk

1265
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,120
through some of the thematic areas, and

1266
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,960
then we drafted a vision statement for

1267
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,640
you guys to take a look at and to uh

1268
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,360
alter as you see fit. And we will go to

1269
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,440
the next slide, please.

1270
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,200
So, this is some of the prime like

1271
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:47,880
community feedback. I tried to find a

1272
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,520
couple of different ones that really sum

1273
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,600
it up for everyone, but we heard a lot

1274
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,680
about social connection, community,

1275
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,960
gathering of people, public events.

1276
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,040
Um people were very focused on healthy

1277
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,000
living and health care options within

1278
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,000
the community, especially our younger

1279
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,440
generation. Uh we did do a lot of

1280
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,320
outreach to the Jackson Street School

1281
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,080
during the visioning process, as well as

1282
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,440
the Yreka Union School. Uh the high

1283
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,520
school students participated quite a bit

1284
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,800
um in this process, and health care was

1285
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,520
a really big concern for them. You know,

1286
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:19,920
it's a concern for them, for their

1287
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,840
family members that they see aging and

1288
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,360
having to move away for better care.

1289
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,560
They see it as themselves. You know, we

1290
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,200
do have a very large population um

1291
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,320
within our community who live in a

1292
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:32,760
household with someone who does have a

1293
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,320
registered disability. So, I believe

1294
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,400
we're sitting at about 34%, which is

1295
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,920
higher than the state average. Um and so

1296
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,280
it's really uh

1297
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,080
an item that we heard a lot of. So,

1298
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,000
again, you'll see the social connection.

1299
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,760
And then finally, we we really did hear

1300
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,640
a lot about the rich cultural heritage

1301
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,200
of the region, and it's not just the

1302
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,320
Gold Rush aspect of this community, but

1303
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,280
it's also the natural landscapes that we

1304
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,200
have here, the tribal heritage, the uh

1305
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,320
Chinese immigrant heritage with some of

1306
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,000
our architecture that we have here,

1307
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,680
logging, and some items woven through

1308
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,360
there. And so, we want to make sure as

1309
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,920
we go through this process, we really

1310
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,240
bring in that rich cultural heritage for

1311
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:12,040
the community and celebrate it in the

1312
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,640
different ways that it occurs throughout

1313
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,240
this community, um and and see that

1314
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:17,920
forward. That's a really great thing

1315
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,720
that we've talked about in terms of

1316
00:49:19,720 --> 00:49:22,400
encouraging more cultural events, and

1317
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,480
then also developing our recreation

1318
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,040
economy, which we don't really have in

1319
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,040
comparison to the rest of the county.

1320
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,080
But we have a really great history that

1321
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,080
we have to offer for people coming to

1322
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,720
visit. Next slide, please.

1323
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:37,640
So, from this, we got this statement.

1324
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,480
So, we're really asking ourselves the

1325
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,800
question of what future do you want to

1326
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,040
create? And we came up with with this

1327
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,720
paragraph right here, which is that the

1328
00:49:46,720 --> 00:49:49,480
city of Yreka is a resilient community

1329
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,280
built on self-sufficiency and

1330
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,000
opportunity. The city offers a way of

1331
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,320
life that recognizes the area's distinct

1332
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,800
history, cherishes cherishes social

1333
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:00,680
engagement of the community, and

1334
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,240
provides safe, healthy, and economically

1335
00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:06,240
secure community for the future. And so,

1336
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:07,920
again, when we try to draft these

1337
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,440
visioning statements, they are a bit

1338
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,560
broader because really what we do is

1339
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,960
this is 20 years out. So, every 5 years

1340
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,760
we should really be looking at this and

1341
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,600
looking at the actions that we're doing.

1342
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,000
Our 2026 work plan is a really good

1343
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,360
example of like these are the priorities

1344
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:23,960
based off of this future we want to

1345
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,200
create. And so, we'll we'll talk about

1346
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:27,840
this a little bit and see if this still

1347
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,720
resonates with you all.

1348
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:32,240
And so, I'm going to stop us here just

1349
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:34,360
to kind of do some initial kind of

1350
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,960
feedback from the council

1351
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,240
before we move on to the guiding

1352
00:50:38,240 --> 00:50:45,230
principles.

1353
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:49,160
» Anybody have any feedback?

1354
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,790
Questions?

1355
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,160
» Okay.

1356
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:55,640
>> We're very quiet this evening.

1357
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:56,520
>> It's okay.

1358
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:57,400
>> And

1359
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:02,040
it's because we don't have a um

1360
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,360
What is it that you called it?

1361
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,400
We don't have a vision statement yet.

1362
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:07,080
>> Yeah.

1363
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:08,720
So, we don't really know who we

1364
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:09,120
are.

1365
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:09,720
>> Yeah.

1366
00:51:09,720 --> 00:51:10,200
>> So.

1367
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:11,080
>> We'll figure it out.

1368
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:11,440
>> Yes.

1369
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,080
>> It's okay. It's a great place to be.

1370
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,440
Opportunities are endless. And I And I

1371
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,360
think it's a really good point. It's something to really call out about,

1372
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:20,800
you know, when you sit there and you

1373
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,400
envision a city that you've gone to that

1374
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,600
really is

1375
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,760
you know, close to your heart. It's a

1376
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,560
place that you've enjoyed. It's a place

1377
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,720
that you want to go back to. And you

1378
00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:33,360
just think about the different aspects

1379
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:34,800
of that community and what makes it

1380
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,160
really, really special. And I guarantee

1381
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,000
you that a lot of those communities have

1382
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,280
had very deliberate planning to make you

1383
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,480
feel that way. You know, the city of

1384
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,600
Reading is not a car paradise because it

1385
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,360
just happened that way. You know, they

1386
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,040
prioritized that type of development.

1387
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,120
You know, it's very car-centric and not

1388
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,160
my particular cup of tea, but for some

1389
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:56,720
people they love it. They love that

1390
00:51:56,720 --> 00:51:59,200
aspect of it. And that's okay. And I

1391
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,320
think that's really like the the thing I

1392
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,640
want to get through to everybody about

1393
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,160
this process is we're going to be making

1394
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,960
some choices as we move forward and that

1395
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,120
those choices are really unique to you

1396
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,760
and they don't have to be another city's

1397
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,360
choices. And so you don't have to be

1398
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:13,680
Mount Shasta, you don't have to be

1399
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,600
Medford, Central Point. You can be

1400
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,480
Yreka. And that's what we're trying to

1401
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,680
find out here in this process together.

1402
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:22,880
All right.

1403
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,000
So,

1404
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,440
next slide, please.

1405
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,240
What are those core values or priorities

1406
00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:29,080
for the commit community? And so these

1407
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,560
all kind of feed in a little bit to that

1408
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,680
vision statement and really kind of go

1409
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,360
to it. So when we start looking at, you

1410
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,720
know, zoning code updates or municipal

1411
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:41,040
code updates or public infrastructure

1412
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,200
projects or where should we spend our

1413
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,240
money to, you know, invest in the

1414
00:52:45,240 --> 00:52:46,880
economy, these are some of the guiding

1415
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,000
principles we'll come back to and answer

1416
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,560
as as we move through that process. And

1417
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,920
so the first four here, there are seven

1418
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,920
total and it's okay to have a little bit

1419
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:57,640
more than, you know, the visioning

1420
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,720
statement. So the the ones that I've

1421
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:01,440
summarized here for you is health and

1422
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,960
safety. People really value a healthy

1423
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,920
and safe community and that's by

1424
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,720
connecting people to outdoor recreation.

1425
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:10,600
That's making sure our streetlights are

1426
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,840
lighting properly. People feel safe

1427
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,040
going home from school or going to

1428
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,480
school and making sure when we're doing

1429
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,240
infrastructure projects, especially

1430
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:21,480
streetscape projects, that we're really

1431
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,480
looking at it from the lens of overall

1432
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,360
health and safety of the people using

1433
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,960
those spaces. The next one is locally

1434
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,760
fed. This is a really big thing that

1435
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,280
people brought up is that they really

1436
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,120
attribute the city of Yreka to an

1437
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,480
agricultural community, but yet we have

1438
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,960
no agriculture, um which is really

1439
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,640
fascinating to me. And so one of the

1440
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,440
guiding principles is supporting

1441
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,920
small-scale to large-scale agriculture

1442
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,040
as we move forward in the next 20 years,

1443
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:48,680
which again goes into that healthy

1444
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,520
lifestyle, access to good food options.

1445
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,720
And so, for example, this type of

1446
00:53:53,720 --> 00:53:55,280
guiding principle means that in the

1447
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,800
zoning code, we allow more zoning for

1448
00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,760
certain ag uses.

1449
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,440
Um for example, our residential

1450
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,160
agriculture zoning designation has no

1451
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,120
agriculture in it.

1452
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,840
So, we're adding agriculture back as an

1453
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,440
option to again give people the option

1454
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,840
to be able to feed themselves, to feed

1455
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,440
their neighbors, or even feed other

1456
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,600
communities outside of our city,

1457
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,240
developing an economy around that. And

1458
00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:21,400
so, that is one of the guiding

1459
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,400
principles we have proposed for you so

1460
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,120
far. The rooted in story is really going

1461
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,080
back to that cultural heritage. How are

1462
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,080
we bringing in different aspects of our

1463
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:31,880
cultural heritage into future

1464
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,720
development projects? How are we

1465
00:54:33,720 --> 00:54:35,920
remembering people and events? You know,

1466
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,960
how are we making sure that people come

1467
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,640
back to this community and go, "That's

1468
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,080
my grandfather." or "That's my

1469
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,520
great-great-grandmother's storefront."

1470
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,880
You know, we want people in your family

1471
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,600
coming back, Council member

1472
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,120
Drake Davis, to your old shop and being

1473
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:51,520
able to point to that building and go,

1474
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,440
"This is where I had my shop for all

1475
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,080
these years." And that really

1476
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,200
brings you into the community a lot

1477
00:54:58,200 --> 00:54:59,960
more. And so, we want to make sure when

1478
00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:01,760
we're planning these things out that

1479
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,600
we're bringing that cultural kind of

1480
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,080
almost a little bit of nostalgia into it

1481
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,000
and making sure that we're remembering

1482
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,400
things that we want to remember there.

1483
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,720
Fiscally sound is just something that

1484
00:55:13,720 --> 00:55:15,400
has been talked about at this council

1485
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:16,680
that we've worked really hard on the

1486
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,440
last couple years, but it's something we

1487
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,400
always have to keep in mind is that if

1488
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,280
we're not being responsible stewards to

1489
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,120
our financial future, we don't really

1490
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,240
have a lot of resources to use to see us

1491
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:30,960
forward. And the fiscally sound guiding

1492
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,520
principle also goes into how are we

1493
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,360
doing our fee schedules, how are we

1494
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,440
looking at the affordability of living

1495
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,280
here within the city? Because if the

1496
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,240
city is fiscally sound, but our

1497
00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:42,920
residents are not, that's going to

1498
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,800
resonate back to the city. You know,

1499
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,720
we're only as powerful as the businesses

1500
00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:48,280
and residents that we have within our

1501
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,640
community, and being fiscally sound

1502
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,200
means bringing them into this as well.

1503
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,000
Next slide, please.

1504
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
The final three is we have flexible by

1505
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,880
design. This is something we heard from

1506
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,760
our development community. We heard this

1507
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:02,880
during our housing element update. The

1508
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,560
more options people have to move their

1509
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:07,640
project forward, the better. And we want

1510
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,480
to make sure when we're developing codes

1511
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,400
and we're developing policies, that

1512
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,480
we're thinking about all users and we're

1513
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,040
thinking about all different types of

1514
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,160
businesses, and we're making sure that

1515
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,000
our regulations give them the option to

1516
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,200
do what they would like to do. And so,

1517
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,960
one of the examples of these within the

1518
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,040
objective design standards is although

1519
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,120
we want to prioritize historic

1520
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,480
architectural styles, we're not saying

1521
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,400
no to other styles. We're just saying,

1522
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,240
"Hey, this is our preference, but if you

1523
00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:35,920
want to do what you want to do, here's a

1524
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,120
process for you." So, we're making sure

1525
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:39,400
that we're not shutting the door

1526
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,800
completely on everyone, but we're making

1527
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,120
sure that it's very clear moving forward

1528
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,640
that this is what we would prefer.

1529
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:47,920
And so, we're making sure that we're

1530
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,840
doing that all throughout this document,

1531
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,360
all throughout our code updates is

1532
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:52,880
making sure things are flexible for

1533
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,640
people. The Outdoors for All is a very

1534
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:56,960
important thing. You live in a very

1535
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,240
beautiful part of California. You have

1536
00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:01,160
great air quality when things are not on

1537
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,600
fire. You have great water quality. And

1538
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,600
so, one of the guiding principles is to

1539
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,240
ensure access to outdoor recreation for

1540
00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:09,880
all different types of people, all

1541
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,200
different ages. Um one of the things

1542
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,520
since I've been here since 2021 is, you

1543
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:15,960
know, we don't really have a parks

1544
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,640
department. You don't really have rec

1545
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,360
leagues here. Like, how do we make that

1546
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,560
happen for people to have more of these

1547
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,080
organic ways to connect with each other

1548
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,080
through physical fitness, through

1549
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,120
enjoyment of bird watching if you're

1550
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,160
into that. Um I have a gold-bellied

1551
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,000
grosbeak in my yard right now.

1552
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,080
Um so, outdoors are for everybody and

1553
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:37,760
it's a guiding principle we want to see

1554
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:42,680
go forward. And finally, we want to be a center for well-being and this goes

1555
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,920
back to your healthcare option. And so,

1556
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,240
we've drafted this guiding principle as

1557
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:48,920
a as a greater thing than just the

1558
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:50,680
health of our community, but building an

1559
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,120
entire economy around it. And so, a

1560
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,160
really good example city that has

1561
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,280
centered well-being in their planning

1562
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,920
documents is Loma Linda, California. And

1563
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:01,680
so, they are one of the few places in

1564
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,040
the world that's called a blue zone

1565
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,600
where people statistically live over 100

1566
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,040
years old more often than anywhere else

1567
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,880
in in the globe. And so, they've really

1568
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,400
centered on very accessible outdoor

1569
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,600
recreation, accessible clinics, favoring

1570
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,080
more uh different types of healthcare

1571
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,000
within the community. I like to point

1572
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,320
out to people there is no um dialysis

1573
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,440
center in Siskiyou County. You have to

1574
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,320
drive to Redding or Medford for that

1575
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,400
service and if you know anyone who has

1576
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,200
to go through dialysis, you're usually

1577
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,120
going through it multiple days a week.

1578
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,520
And that's a lot to ask of our our

1579
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:37,920
residents who are already going through

1580
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,560
a health issue and are having to spend

1581
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,320
an exorbitant amount of money of travel

1582
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,760
to go to that service. And so, this

1583
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,040
really centers on how do we be that

1584
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,360
center for our residents? We want to

1585
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,160
make sure that if something goes wrong

1586
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:53,920
with your health, that you are 10

1587
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:55,680
minutes away from a service that can

1588
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,600
save your life. And that's a really

1589
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,040
important aspect that we're bringing

1590
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,800
forward. So, that is the end of my

1591
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,240
presentation. Really at this point, it

1592
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,560
is a time to listen to public comments

1593
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,080
that we get tonight, listen to your

1594
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,640
comments as we move forward. So, I'm

1595
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:12,600
going to probably just sit in the back

1596
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,360
and just take notes or probably sit here

1597
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,120
right at a chair and just take notes on

1598
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,440
what everybody's thinking on those.

1599
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,600
Okay. Thank you. Thank you. And Cindy,

1600
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:21,560
if you could go to the next slide,

1601
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:30,390
please.

1602
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,760
» Okay, so at this point in time I'm going

1603
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,320
to open this up for public comment.

1604
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:45,870
Do we have any public comment?

1605
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:47,880
Okay, I'm going to bring it back to the

1606
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,440
council for comments and um

1607
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:56,350
discussion and um

1608
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,280
Am I correct that this is not an action

1609
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,640
item? This is just to receive input?

1610
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,240
>> Yes, it's just it's just getting your

1611
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:05,880
input. Really it was going to be an

1612
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,240
action item at your next meeting. If you

1613
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:08,840
hated all of it and I need to rewrite

1614
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,160
all of it, which is fine. I can do that.

1615
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:12,960
But yeah, just open input Harvey you'd

1616
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,800
like to go from here.

1617
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,000
>> Okay.

1618
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,216
Councilmember Middleton.

1619
01:00:20,226 --> 01:00:20,640
» [clears throat]

1620
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:21,800
>> We'll start with you.

1621
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,350
>> with me?

1622
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:25,040
That's what I'm saying.

1623
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:26,520
>> That's but I think

1624
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,430
I don't know, I think

1625
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,360
with the workshops and then I think by

1626
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,240
voice

1627
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,160
I think we're on track with the vision

1628
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:36,120
and I

1629
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:37,960
don't see any changes. I mean

1630
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,560
of course housing and of course I think

1631
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,360
one of the major

1632
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:46,040
things I like to see in will be after my

1633
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,000
tenure here is that

1634
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,040
just really revitalizing our downtown

1635
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,720
like

1636
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,480
that's the core of many

1637
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,880
Gold Rush era towns of having you know,

1638
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:00,600
the quaintness of that downtown area. It

1639
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:05,790
just seems like ours is um lacking some

1640
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,800
um

1641
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,680
businesses, commerce or you know, just

1642
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:11,360
um

1643
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,240
revitalizing it. Of course you know, to

1644
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,640
whether it be urban infills above the

1645
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,960
some of the places or um

1646
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,680
uh

1647
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,280
some paint. I don't know. Just making it

1648
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,800
really stand out for it is welcome to

1649
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,800
not only our citizens but also people

1650
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,040
who are traveling in to visit

1651
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:32,960
or stay here, you know, we want to get

1652
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,480
them back there. And um

1653
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,360
so that's

1654
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,080
one of my main things I would like to

1655
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,360
see is Miner Street really and Broadway

1656
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:48,870
or that whole core just really thrive.

1657
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:50,880
Cuz you go to Placerville or, you know,

1658
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,360
Auburn or any of those towns uh

1659
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:54,720
like Grass Valley and they have quaint

1660
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,880
towns and they're just vibrant and

1661
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,080
they're just

1662
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:03,800
alive and I like to see that our downtown.

1663
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,840
>> Thank you. Yeah, if you do have cities

1664
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:07,280
that you can think of that really

1665
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:08,760
resonate with you, that's really helpful

1666
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:10,400
for me, too, and I can take a look at

1667
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,360
their programming around that. Thank

1668
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,160
you.

1669
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:15,440
That's what I have for now.

1670
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:16,720
>> It's coming to my mind.

1671
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:17,470
>> Thank you.

1672
01:02:17,473 --> 01:02:17,480
» [laughter]

1673
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:18,080
>> Uh-huh.

1674
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,550
>> Council member Davis?

1675
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,080
» Um Juliana, you mentioned something

1676
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:25,800
about agriculture that we didn't have

1677
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,560
agriculture.

1678
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:28,840
Um

1679
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:35,680
in the surrounding areas

1680
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,640
we have substantial agriculture, you

1681
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,680
know, in Scott Valley and Shasta Valley.

1682
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,760
They have quite a bit of farming and

1683
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,760
there's ranching and cattle ranching.

1684
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,480
Um it seems to me like

1685
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:52,480
to have it directly in Yreka would be

1686
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,480
almost impossible because of the

1687
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,640
size of the city, but we do have it in

1688
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,680
the surrounding areas.

1689
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,160
That uh

1690
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:04,400
and maybe maybe I missed your point.

1691
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,040
That's probably what happened, but

1692
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:12,560
there there is such stuff in in town. We have a tremendous amount of

1693
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:16,120
parks, you know, Greenhorn Park.

1694
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:17,560
The only other one I know of that's

1695
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,640
close is uh up in Ashland, you know.

1696
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,280
They They have great park, but this

1697
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,640
Green Run park is totally

1698
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,240
you know, it's great.

1699
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:30,680
Um and we we spend a lot of time there.

1700
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,000
I mean, I do.

1701
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,040
I know.

1702
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,600
And I enjoy every minute of it.

1703
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,520
So, there there are things that are in

1704
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,760
our community

1705
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,590
that are um

1706
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,400
kind of would lead to make those

1707
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:50,120
statements possible, I believe.

1708
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,270
Um

1709
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:54,760
I think

1710
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,800
I didn't write one down.

1711
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,000
So,

1712
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,040
I will maybe catch it later on.

1713
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,920
>> Okay. Yeah. And my next slide is

1714
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:04,480
essentially if anyone would like to give

1715
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,040
additional input, there are several

1716
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:07,840
different ways to do that, and I'm happy

1717
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:09,400
to meet with all of you and have that

1718
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:10,880
conversation.

1719
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:18,310
>> Thank you.

1720
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,680
Councilmember McEvoy.

1721
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,160
>> Yeah, I think you've done I think you've

1722
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:23,440
done a very good job with this. I

1723
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,000
appreciate that I can think back to the

1724
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:26,920
meetings that we were all having up at

1725
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:28,800
the community center different things.

1726
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,200
As I look at it, you you you mentioned

1727
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,240
parks. I think we did away with parks

1728
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,600
back in 1990-91. So, it's been like 35

1729
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,920
years since they fired Dean. I can't

1730
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,880
think of his last Dean Foss.

1731
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:41,360
Since they fired him and and and the

1732
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,240
city manager and council did away with

1733
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:48,720
it. Um I mean, I look at um

1734
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,600
I I I I wrote, "Do we need a parks and

1735
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:51,840
rec department?" I think we do. The

1736
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,120
problem is where does the money come

1737
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,160
from? So, that leads me to something

1738
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,280
else, and that is that we need to build

1739
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,560
our tax base. We have the the our our

1740
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,920
community has so graciously approved a

1741
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,920
1% sales tax so that we can put in a 30

1742
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,520
uh million-dollar fire hall, uh build a

1743
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,320
new one that for our old one that is

1744
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,240
over 90 years old, and then we can hire

1745
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,880
six full-time firemen, but we needed we

1746
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,040
need to

1747
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,000
cultivate we need to cultivate for our

1748
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,200
new pool

1749
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:21,800
both for local I don't think you're

1750
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:23,560
going to get two tourists to use it, but

1751
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,200
you're going to get locals that are

1752
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:26,800
going to use that that pool similar to

1753
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:27,800
the one

1754
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,480
in Bernie which is used all the time and

1755
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,720
I don't think Bernie is as large as we

1756
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,240
are. But we have to build a tax base for

1757
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,080
that and I think we have that building a

1758
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,080
tax base means we have to entice people

1759
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,160
off the interstate. I've always said

1760
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:41,720
I've lived here 40 years and I always

1761
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:42,800
thought

1762
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,080
I'd look in Sunset magazine and go man I

1763
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,600
can go to Ashland and I can you know

1764
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,880
I can spend the weekend and I can hike

1765
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:51,280
here and go to this bed and breakfast. I

1766
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,160
mean I think there are package deals

1767
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:54,360
that if we have people that are

1768
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,600
interested in in settling here and doing

1769
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:58,560
businesses they can do that. So I mean

1770
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:00,120
to me that and that's a no-brainer. I

1771
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,520
mean being able to fish on the Scott in 45

1772
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,880
minutes, being able to kayak you know

1773
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:12,160
from the Swallows down to rope swing and on down that way. I mean just all

1774
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,520
that stuff is wonderful going over to to

1775
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:15,960
the valley and being on the Pacific

1776
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,600
Crest Trail and again in 45 minutes.

1777
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,640
And I think part of what we have to do

1778
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,080
is we have to encourage people off not

1779
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,120
only from minor but both ends and that

1780
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:26,760
means developing the north end of town

1781
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,240
which I know that the council and

1782
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,160
previous city managers have talked about

1783
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,200
and it looks like a lot of that property

1784
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,680
is being broken up which is good which

1785
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:36,200
will allow us maybe a little more

1786
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,240
flexibility when people want to come in.

1787
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,560
But all of that contributes to the tax

1788
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,760
base because when a business goes in

1789
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:46,440
that tax money's coming directly into the coffers of the city and then

1790
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,000
it's paying for

1791
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,760
whatever sorts of things we need and so

1792
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:54,000
I mean it pays for parks and rec. I

1793
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,640
understand that you know but then we can

1794
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,320
also keep our parks up a little more and

1795
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,600
we can you know we can modernize them.

1796
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,080
We can do that kind of stuff. So but we

1797
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:03,960
need to market our lives our life

1798
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,360
lifestyle to visitors and we need to

1799
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,320
market it to in in invite businesses in

1800
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,600
to invest. So, and I know that's

1801
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,240
something again that that our city

1802
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,680
manager Will is very acutely aware of

1803
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,880
cuz we we've had break we've had talks

1804
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,040
about it about every Friday. But also I

1805
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,080
know that he's acutely aware that we in

1806
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:23,160
order for us to do that we've got to

1807
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:24,080
have the housing.

1808
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:24,800
>> Mhm.

1809
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,880
>> So, that goes to, you know, part of your

1810
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:28,840
design and that kind of thing. I mean,

1811
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:30,960
if you look at if you look at Solvang,

1812
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,480
if you look at Leavenworth, you know,

1813
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,280
they've got their design, you know, for

1814
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,320
businesses because they're

1815
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:38,960
look more like what Swedish or something

1816
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,280
like that. I don't you know, or Danish.

1817
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:42,680
You know, and no, we don't want to go

1818
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,680
there, but having I mean, we have

1819
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,200
beautiful craftsman houses here. We have

1820
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,480
beautiful houses on 3rd Street. You

1821
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,720
know, provided that we can kind of keep

1822
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,280
it going that way historically. Um

1823
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,880
actual factual I said it is very good. I

1824
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:58,240
mean, you look at the what the

1825
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,360
stonemasons did in the the Italian

1826
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,680
stonemasons in McCloud and what they did

1827
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,280
in Weed and it's, you know, it's it's

1828
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,880
art. So, those are just things that come

1829
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:08,480
to mind for me that that I would

1830
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,040
continue to work on.

1831
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:11,680
But I would agree, I don't know if I'm

1832
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:12,560
agreeing with you cuz I don't know how

1833
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:14,440
you feel, but I really would love to see

1834
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,759
a parks and rec department, but we have

1835
01:08:16,759 --> 01:08:18,040
to have extra money coming. We can't do

1836
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:21,829
it on what we have now. Thank you.

1837
01:08:21,839 --> 01:08:23,839
» Councilmember Clark.

1838
01:08:23,839 --> 01:08:25,720
>> Uh appreciate all the work you're doing

1839
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:27,600
cuz I can only imagine this is probably

1840
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,400
a lot. So, it's so far I'm I'm I'm

1841
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:31,920
agreeing. So, I think it looks good. I

1842
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:33,600
think I have a couple of small things,

1843
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,640
but I'll just go to you one-on-one so

1844
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:36,960
it's not important at all in front of

1845
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,240
everybody. It's just more for me, but I

1846
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,680
think it looks good and it's going in a

1847
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:41,680
good direction.

1848
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:42,279
>> Okay.

1849
01:08:42,279 --> 01:08:44,120
>> Thank you.

1850
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,910
>> Thanks.

1851
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:49,400
I You know what I think is so

1852
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,279
interesting about the city of Yreka?

1853
01:08:51,279 --> 01:08:53,720
There are a lot of things, but um I

1854
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:57,120
actually did um some research on the

1855
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,960
name of the city and how it came about.

1856
01:08:59,960 --> 01:09:05,279
And um there is no clear-cut

1857
01:09:05,279 --> 01:09:08,200
definition over what the city what what

1858
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,960
Yreka means. And I think that that is

1859
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,240
interesting in that it plays into we

1860
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,759
don't have a vision statement. So, this

1861
01:09:15,759 --> 01:09:18,480
is a prime opportunity for us to come up

1862
01:09:18,480 --> 01:09:21,640
with a really dynamic identity that is

1863
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,640
unique to the city of Yreka that people

1864
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,120
really will go, "Oh, yeah. I have the

1865
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:28,799
T-shirt

1866
01:09:28,799 --> 01:09:31,120
that has our slogan on it."

1867
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,080
And so, I just am really excited about

1868
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,120
this project and I know that

1869
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:40,359
um you in particular, Juliana, have put

1870
01:09:40,359 --> 01:09:43,240
so much work and effort into this. And

1871
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:44,839
sometimes

1872
01:09:44,839 --> 01:09:46,720
all of the paperwork

1873
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:48,000
goes

1874
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,359
without a lot of recognition. And I just

1875
01:09:51,359 --> 01:09:53,759
want to say that I'm really aware of how

1876
01:09:53,759 --> 01:09:56,480
much work that you've put into this.

1877
01:09:56,480 --> 01:09:57,120
Um

1878
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,680
You put a lot of work into the visioning

1879
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:01,920
workshops and actually reaching out to

1880
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:05,520
the community. And I would like to see

1881
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,600
just a little bit more of that

1882
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,400
because it has been what, two or three

1883
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,560
years? And

1884
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,120
it is evolving.

1885
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,880
I really appreciate the design

1886
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:19,440
standards. You mentioned those are

1887
01:10:19,440 --> 01:10:23,360
really important. And I agree that we

1888
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:26,000
need some flexibility, but we do need

1889
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,760
some standards for the builders, the

1890
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,680
developers when they're building.

1891
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:36,400
I agree about developing our parks. I

1892
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,040
agree with a park and rec district. I

1893
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,560
would love to see that come back.

1894
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:44,520
And just ongoing activities that are

1895
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:48,040
centered around the parks.

1896
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,880
I mean, Greenhorn and Miner Street parks

1897
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,760
are just gems in the raw. And we could

1898
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:58,040
be doing so much more with them.

1899
01:10:58,040 --> 01:10:59,960
Um

1900
01:10:59,960 --> 01:11:01,600
And you know, one of the things that I

1901
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:03,920
really um love about Wyreka, and I think

1902
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,800
it fits into this, is um the community

1903
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:08,240
garden, and I would like to see an

1904
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,720
expansion of community gardens.

1905
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,520
And um

1906
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,760
I think that it's just really important

1907
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:18,800
that this this project continues to be a

1908
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,440
priority so that we actually

1909
01:11:21,440 --> 01:11:23,560
can bring it to fruition and have a

1910
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:27,040
document to move on, you know, to use.

1911
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,200
So

1912
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:33,760
that's basically my input. Thank you.

1913
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:35,280
>> And just to address the the public

1914
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:36,720
outreach, we will continue to be a

1915
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,160
little bit more topic focused as opposed

1916
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:40,320
to kind of these bigger broader

1917
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,120
discussions. And so I just want to

1918
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:43,480
assure you we do have a public

1919
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:45,480
engagement plan that goes with this as

1920
01:11:45,480 --> 01:11:46,920
well with different points where we'll

1921
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:48,200
be going out to the public for more

1922
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:51,080
information. And uh you know, it takes a

1923
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:52,640
while to do these types of plans cuz

1924
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,160
they're pretty hefty, but that gives us

1925
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:55,640
a lot of time to make sure that we're

1926
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:57,200
getting it right. We're checking back in

1927
01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:59,840
with people and making sure we're we're

1928
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:02,400
ironing out the important details, too.

1929
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,200
So, thank you. And uh Cindy, if you

1930
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,360
could please do the next slide. Just

1931
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,600
some contact information. Oh, we're

1932
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,080
good. We answered those questions. Keep

1933
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,000
going.

1934
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:13,920
Good.

1935
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:15,760
You're good. Go to the next one.

1936
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,400
So, I I'm glad you're happy with the

1937
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:19,120
direction. I'll take some of this input

1938
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:20,680
and start to feed this into the

1939
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,600
document. But uh we will, just for

1940
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,280
members of the public, council members,

1941
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:25,840
there are several different ways you can

1942
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:27,720
contribute to this. Even if you have

1943
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:29,440
like a little thought, something pops

1944
01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:31,000
up, you like something happening in

1945
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:32,160
Grass Valley, for example, if there's

1946
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:33,880
like an event in particular that you

1947
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:36,400
like, um I'll take written comments uh

1948
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:37,880
at City Hall. If you want to drop them

1949
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,360
off, you can also email them to me. Um

1950
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,280
we are updating the website, so there

1951
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,320
will actually be a website page. I was

1952
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:45,880
hoping Civic Plus would have it done by

1953
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:47,360
today so I could have it up there, but

1954
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:48,960
it's not, but it will be on the city's

1955
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:50,760
webpage now. So, we're going to migrate

1956
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,480
that over to be a little bit easier for

1957
01:12:52,480 --> 01:12:55,040
people to move through and then we will

1958
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,040
be advertising the public engagement

1959
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,400
events on our website on Facebook trying

1960
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,320
to get out during in the usual kind of

1961
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:03,240
routes to advertise those for people to

1962
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,480
attend. So, but thank you for your time

1963
01:13:05,480 --> 01:13:08,240
today and I appreciate your attention.

1964
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:13,870
>> Thank you.

1965
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:17,080
Okay, we're moving on to item 8F, the

1966
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:23,030
city manager and staff reports.

1967
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,720
» All righty, good evening. Mayor and

1968
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,120
council.

1969
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:30,400
So, with respect to the vision, I

1970
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,640
totally agree with you on it. Uh Juliana

1971
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:37,280
and I uh were part of a call with a PR

1972
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,280
and marketing firm that focuses on

1973
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,920
California, Truppeppi Smith, if you want

1974
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,640
to look them up. Uh they are going to

1975
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:48,080
make propose to us what we could do to

1976
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:50,280
identify ourselves, who we are, what do

1977
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,920
we want to be known for. What is our

1978
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:57,960
tagline, etc. So, we really feel like

1979
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:01,120
creating that identity with community

1980
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:04,240
support, your suggestion and ideas and

1981
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,560
your direction will really help us with

1982
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:12,000
focusing on the 2050 plan, but also and

1983
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,080
what kind of businesses we draw in. What

1984
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:17,040
are we known for? What do we want to be?

1985
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,360
And so I think that's really critical.

1986
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:21,480
So, as part of that, I want to show a

1987
01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:24,280
short video today on the city's

1988
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,200
unofficial mascot. So, I thought that we

1989
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:31,726
would um bring that video up.

1990
01:14:31,736 --> 01:15:46,910
» [laughter]

1991
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:48,600
» So, part of what we're going to do,

1992
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:50,720
we're going to remodel the new fire

1993
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,480
station and build a pen out back cuz the

1994
01:15:53,480 --> 01:15:55,440
fire chief really would like a dozen

1995
01:15:55,440 --> 01:15:58,000
goats on hand to help with uh

1996
01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,507
prevention.

1997
01:15:59,507 --> 01:16:00,160
>> [laughter]

1998
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:03,560
>> Uh the staff met with Mike Solano. He is

1999
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,680
building a retail store here in Yreka.

2000
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:08,720
Couple of key items for us is he's

2001
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:11,360
bought two lots. One building has a

2002
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:13,840
3,000 square foot building, I believe.

2003
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,510
Is that right?

2004
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,160
7,000 square foot building. He's going

2005
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,400
to expand it to 27,500.

2006
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,240
Uh the second building, he's going to

2007
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,840
bring in the first 3,000 of the top SKU

2008
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,000
items and try to open that up in the

2009
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,960
next 8 weeks uh to an existing building

2010
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:34,600
that's there and then obviously tear

2011
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:36,680
down the larger building and build

2012
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,200
something uh the 27,500

2013
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,520
square foot. Couple of things that'll be

2014
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,960
unique to this site, it will hold uh one

2015
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:49,120
of the top tallest flagpoles in the

2016
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,400
uh Siskiu County. It'll be close to 200

2017
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,920
ft high with an 80-ft high flag. So, if

2018
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:57,920
you ever get lost, we just tell you look

2019
01:16:57,920 --> 01:16:59,920
for the flag and you'll be able to get

2020
01:16:59,920 --> 01:17:01,480
there. And then, of course, you'll have

2021
01:17:01,480 --> 01:17:04,360
a gun range and an archery range as part

2022
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:07,120
of this facility as well. And you'll get

2023
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:08,760
hungry after all that, so you'll want to

2024
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:10,120
get a hot dog and an ice cream

2025
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,720
>> from the store that we'll have.

2026
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:16,720
So, um very comprehensive. Uh next is I

2027
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:18,240
visit with the department heads and

2028
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:19,920
reviewed their projects. I really

2029
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,360
appreciate council support on the work

2030
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:26,080
plan because we are on track for the

2031
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,360
projects that we are doing and people

2032
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:30,880
are really focused on getting those key

2033
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,440
things done.

2034
01:17:32,440 --> 01:17:34,800
And with that, uh one of the key

2035
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,080
projects is a new agreement for

2036
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,600
recycling and garbage here in Yreka with

2037
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,520
Yreka Transfer. So, thank you to council

2038
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:45,920
support. And working with Yreka

2039
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,720
Transfer, we have a verbal agreement.

2040
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:51,080
And so, we're uh Julia is working on an

2041
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:52,920
amendment right now to the existing

2042
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:55,560
agreement. So, in the next 2 months, uh

2043
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,840
October at the latest, we really want to

2044
01:17:57,840 --> 01:17:59,560
bring it forward because it expires on

2045
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:01,480
October 30th.

2046
01:18:01,480 --> 01:18:02,760
Um

2047
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,200
and then in October, we are going to be

2048
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:06,920
opening up the Performing Arts Center

2049
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,120
for movies and concerts. Uh and we're

2050
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,360
putting an entirely new sound system in,

2051
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:15,840
new lights, and a 28-ft

2052
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,040
screen. So, not only will you be able to

2053
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:20,840
feel Jaws, but you will be able to see

2054
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:22,080
it.

2055
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,600
Because the mayor's favorite line from

2056
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:26,240
the movie is, "We're going to need a

2057
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:27,539
bigger boat."

2058
01:18:27,539 --> 01:18:27,760
>> [laughter]

2059
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:29,720
>> So, in this case, we are going to bring

2060
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:31,480
a bigger boat, so you'll be able to

2061
01:18:31,480 --> 01:18:34,160
enjoy it. And we'll be able to open it

2062
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:36,840
up for matinees, a whole variety of

2063
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:38,240
different things. So, excited about

2064
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:41,800
that. I appreciate Mayor Pro Tem Claire

2065
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,280
working for the fire with the fire chief

2066
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,240
on the ad hoc committee. We are 90%

2067
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:49,720
done, and I know this may surprise all

2068
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,440
of you, but I have faith in both of

2069
01:18:51,440 --> 01:18:53,160
those gentlemen that we'll be a one and

2070
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,800
done meeting. So, um

2071
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:57,240
we will let the federal government know

2072
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:00,320
that they do work. So,

2073
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,160
movies in the park. I hope you get a

2074
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,200
chance to see it. Jaws was last Friday.

2075
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,240
I don't know what's coming up, but I

2076
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:09,600
understand they're a big hit. Big great

2077
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:11,920
turnout, so it's another great event

2078
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:13,560
that's going on.

2079
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,080
Uh coming up on September 1st, the two

2080
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,360
big items are going to be a closed

2081
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:22,080
session on Fall Creek. And then, uh

2082
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,320
when Mortali will be here in person for

2083
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:27,600
that meeting, as well as the hopefully

2084
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,000
the adoption of the PSA. For that is a

2085
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,040
three-year project that's finally coming

2086
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:38,880
to fruition. We will then have uh a much better system for us with water

2087
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,280
without going to details. And then,

2088
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:42,720
speaking of housing, thank you

2089
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,320
Councilman McCoy for bringing that up.

2090
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:48,760
We are working with a EIFD, which is a

2091
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:51,920
funding mechanism to encourage housing.

2092
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:53,920
We have met with or at least I've had

2093
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:57,000
phone calls with the Payne Lane 300 unit

2094
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:58,480
development, and they are very

2095
01:19:58,480 --> 01:20:01,960
intrigued, as well as um

2096
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:03,640
Clayton Hansen. Did I say his name

2097
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:05,040
right?

2098
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,680
He is looking at major improvements to

2099
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,080
this heavy industrial site. He'll be

2100
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:12,600
opening concrete and asphalt, as well as

2101
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:15,680
subdividing the property to uh allow

2102
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,040
additional businesses to come in there.

2103
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:19,200
And the nice thing is, we are

2104
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:21,480
destination-based sales tax, and so

2105
01:20:21,480 --> 01:20:24,120
every time he sells asphalt or concrete

2106
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,800
to our friends at Caltrans, we will get

2107
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:28,800
some portion of the sales tax. So, we're

2108
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:30,800
really excited about both.

2109
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,680
With that, um are there any questions or

2110
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:37,400
comments from the council members?

2111
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:38,400
>> Council member McCoy.

2112
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:40,680
>> I I just want to ask, you're referring

2113
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:42,240
to the community theater, not the

2114
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,600
Performing Arts Center, correct?

2115
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:45,080
>> Well, yes.

2116
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:46,320
>> Performing Arts Center's here, the

2117
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:47,240
community theater's down

2118
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,800
>> Yes, uh, it has different That's what I

2119
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,320
was told the Performing Arts, but it is

2120
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:52,240
a community theater. Yes.

2121
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:53,480
>> It's Okay, yeah, that's all I

2122
01:20:53,480 --> 01:20:56,080
>> It's right next to the community center.

2123
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:57,920
>> I'm a flatlander, but that's all I've

2124
01:20:57,920 --> 01:20:59,520
ever known it as.

2125
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:01,400
SPAC community theater.

2126
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,080
>> Right, but it's hasn't been used in

2127
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:04,800
years

2128
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:05,160
>> Nope, it has.

2129
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:08,080
>> and it is an underutilized resource, and

2130
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:10,400
there are a lot of folks interested in

2131
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:11,440
doing that.

2132
01:21:11,440 --> 01:21:12,360
>> Yeah.

2133
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:13,760
>> Sorry, seeing movies there and being

2134
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:17,150
part of it.

2135
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:18,760
» Anybody else?

2136
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:19,840
All right.

2137
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:20,320
>> Thank you.

2138
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,520
>> we have any other staff reports tonight?

2139
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:25,830
>> I don't know.

2140
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,520
» Okay. All right. Thank you so much.

2141
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:31,480
We'll, uh, move on to item 8G. This is

2142
01:21:31,480 --> 01:21:33,560
the mayor council members reports,

2143
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,480
statements, and requests.

2144
01:21:36,480 --> 01:21:41,750
Who would like to go first this evening?

2145
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:43,560
» I'll make it real quick as, um, as

2146
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:45,720
everybody knows, I was absent, and, uh,

2147
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:46,800
I won't spend too much time on this

2148
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:47,800
because I'll probably get emotional,

2149
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:49,120
but, um,

2150
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:50,520
so a couple weeks ago I lost my mother,

2151
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,000
and I wanted to thank everybody for

2152
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:52,920
their

2153
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:54,640
support and wishes to me and my family.

2154
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:56,960
It's been, um, incredible just from all

2155
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:58,880
the council members, the mayor,

2156
01:21:58,880 --> 01:21:59,760
uh,

2157
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:01,240
our city manager, and the staff. I

2158
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:03,600
really appreciate it, and, um,

2159
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:05,320
you know, life goes on, but, um, I'll

2160
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:07,080
miss her terribly, and but just thank

2161
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:08,880
you. I really appreciate it.

2162
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:09,600
Thank you.

2163
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:11,080
>> Did you get the card?

2164
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:15,430
>> Yes.

2165
01:22:15,440 --> 01:22:17,800
» Thank you. Council member Davis.

2166
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:21,200
>> Um, I attended I attended um,

2167
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:24,840
building department workshop, as you did

2168
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:26,600
also.

2169
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:27,920
Um,

2170
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:29,840
and it was on the permitting process in

2171
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,560
Waireka. She was assisted by James

2172
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,360
McIntyre.

2173
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,280
Um and I thought

2174
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:40,360
that they really did a great job

2175
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,160
making the city available

2176
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,320
to uh

2177
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,920
the contractors that were

2178
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,520
uh there and they any ones that want to

2179
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,280
start uh

2180
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,320
you know, a building process

2181
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,880
and get the permits necessary.

2182
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,640
And they um were pretty

2183
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:03,880
open about coming to the city for help.

2184
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,280
Um and I and I thought they they put a

2185
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:10,160
good face on to the city of Waireka.

2186
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:11,720
Um

2187
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:14,280
and they were strictly business about

2188
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:18,200
the uh permitting process and nobody

2189
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,080
ever got into the fees where they're

2190
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:23,680
given a bad time about fees no matter

2191
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,400
how much they are.

2192
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:27,920
It you know, that usually comes up. But

2193
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:29,880
it was an excellent job and Ilea and

2194
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:34,190
James really did a good job.

2195
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:35,680
» That's it.

2196
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:38,670
>> Thank you.

2197
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:40,800
Councilmember McCoy.

2198
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,320
>> Yeah, again, I want to thank Will for

2199
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,560
pushing for the movies. I think they're

2200
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:47,360
a great idea and I've heard lots of good

2201
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:48,680
things about them.

2202
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:50,160
Um I went out and took a look at the

2203
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:51,320
goats. I didn't get to get out and kiss

2204
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:52,960
them. Will wanted me to kiss them and

2205
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:55,000
take a picture and I told him I would.

2206
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:56,800
And my wife knows I'll kiss him, but I

2207
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,160
didn't get out there in time. Um and

2208
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,600
I've I've spoken with Will, so I'm not hitting him blind about this,

2209
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:04,520
but I would I'm going to ask uh our

2210
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:06,360
public works to see if they can't maybe

2211
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,000
get the goats back out there to uh eat

2212
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,280
the north, south, and west sides because

2213
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:12,800
they're very overgrown. There are

2214
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:14,800
benches that are totally covered. Some

2215
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:16,840
of the one of the poo thingies for dogs

2216
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,160
is covered and it's growing up under

2217
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,200
bridges and things like that. So, I'm

2218
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:22,560
hoping and so I'm not hitting Will

2219
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,680
knows, I'm not hitting him blind.

2220
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:25,600
Um

2221
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:27,600
uh but I'm so, I I would I'm going to

2222
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:31,040
urge public works uh Matt to um get get

2223
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:32,680
them back or get out there because as

2224
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:34,280
you walk through some of them, you

2225
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:36,520
actually push things away. And I have

2226
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:37,800
friends that walk out there that are

2227
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:41,000
elderly like me and and you know, it's

2228
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,040
it would be nice to not be fighting the

2229
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:44,880
bees and stuff like that and the plants.

2230
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:48,240
So, but um and I am very excited that

2231
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,480
again that Will, our city manager, is

2232
01:24:50,480 --> 01:24:53,400
working on our community theater. Um

2233
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,680
I've been on this council 8 years and we

2234
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,360
have pushed and pushed and pushed. And

2235
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,400
all you were here, you only thing that I

2236
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:02,240
know that Corey heard for the first 2

2237
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:03,240
years he was on, I heard it for the

2238
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:05,200
first 4 years is let's sell that

2239
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:07,000
community theater. Let's sell that

2240
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:09,120
community theater. And it's like and I'm

2241
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:10,600
not picking on any of the city managers,

2242
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,680
just was kind of it was a it was a thing

2243
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,080
a viewpoint through the whole office.

2244
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:17,160
It's just a it's just a liability. Well,

2245
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:18,360
it is a liability, but it's our

2246
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,920
liability and we've had some of some big

2247
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:24,880
stars in that they have come country and

2248
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:25,600
uh

2249
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:28,680
and some like Anthony Zerbe and

2250
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:30,480
you know, and and Michael Martin Murphy.

2251
01:25:30,480 --> 01:25:32,480
We've had some big stars go in there and

2252
01:25:32,480 --> 01:25:37,440
it's great that that Will and and that our past two

2253
01:25:37,440 --> 01:25:39,040
saw that that we needed new air

2254
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:40,680
conditioning and that Will now is

2255
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:42,880
continuing that and I thank you for it.

2256
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:46,110
Sir.

2257
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:47,560
» Yeah, I agree. Thank you. And all the

2258
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:49,280
high school plays. I did plays in high

2259
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:50,920
school there like a million years ago,

2260
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:53,240
so I remember that and

2261
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:54,840
going to choir and concerts, so very

2262
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:56,800
appreciated. Uh I have nothing really.

2263
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,040
Hope everybody has a good evening.

2264
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:02,470
>> Thank you.

2265
01:26:02,480 --> 01:26:04,880
So, the community theater, I am so

2266
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:06,800
excited that it's going to be utilized

2267
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:11,680
again. And just a little bit of

2268
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:15,600
history that when I was a freshman in

2269
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,240
high school, I was part of the committee

2270
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,800
that went around the community to

2271
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,000
collect the surveys on whether the

2272
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,400
community of Yreka wanted the community

2273
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:27,840
theater. That was very exciting, and I

2274
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:29,480
think when I was a junior in high

2275
01:26:29,480 --> 01:26:32,520
school, my best friend and I spent hours

2276
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,520
hand-hemming the black curtain in that

2277
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:41,120
building. So, I I have um been a huge

2278
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:42,760
part of that building for a number of

2279
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,200
years um being involved in activities

2280
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:46,120
and

2281
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:47,920
um certainly going and enjoying

2282
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:54,400
programs. So, it is very exciting that is um opening back up. And um I did

2283
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,240
attend the um

2284
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,240
showing of Jaws at Miner Street Park uh

2285
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:02,680
last Friday night. And if you I would

2286
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,560
really encourage everybody to do their

2287
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:08,240
best to attend one of the movies. Um I

2288
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:10,480
believe that this week is an animated

2289
01:27:10,480 --> 01:27:13,440
kids movie by the name of Hoppers.

2290
01:27:13,440 --> 01:27:16,120
Um I guess it's relatively new. And then

2291
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:19,520
in 2 weeks, it's Indiana Jones

2292
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:20,240
um

2293
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,000
Raiders of the Lost Ark. So,

2294
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,920
um it's a lot of fun. And it's so

2295
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,480
it's just so nice to see the community

2296
01:27:28,480 --> 01:27:31,280
having fun. Kids playing, people

2297
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:33,960
talking, watching the movie, having

2298
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:39,720
popcorn. There's free popcorn. So, um

2299
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:43,280
uh The only um thing that I have um for

2300
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:46,080
the council really tonight um

2301
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,720
is that Senator Adam Schiff's

2302
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,200
representative Wesley Fink is going to

2303
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:56,400
be in Yreka on August 27th. Um

2304
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,200
and um

2305
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:00,480
Mr. Ibershoff and I are taking him on a

2306
01:28:00,480 --> 01:28:02,480
tour of Yreka.

2307
01:28:02,480 --> 01:28:07,400
And if you have any areas of Yreka that

2308
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:09,120
you would like to have highlighted in

2309
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,280
the tour, if I'm putting you on the

2310
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:12,400
spot,

2311
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:13,960
um if you would just let the city

2312
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:15,920
manager know so that we can highlight

2313
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:21,030
those areas. I think

2314
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,600
Mr. Fink has been really responsive to

2315
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:26,520
the city of Yreka and I'm excited that

2316
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:28,440
he's coming to spend a couple of hours

2317
01:28:28,440 --> 01:28:29,880
with us.

2318
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:34,750
And again, that's on August 27th.

2319
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,080
And I

2320
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:40,440
that is that concludes my report for the

2321
01:28:40,440 --> 01:28:43,320
evening. And with that, I will adjourn

2322
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:47,000
the meeting at 7:58.
