First is Mr. Maury
Castaneda Mr. mayor.

108
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,460
Sorry in October,
the city graciously

109
00:04:31,460 --> 00:04:34,540
provided us a donation
in with respect

110
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:38,580
to US building new bleachers
at Yuba City high school.

111
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:40,080
I'm the Yuba City high
school baseball coach.

112
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,600
We had a fantastic
run last year.

113
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,120
You guys were gracious.

114
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,940
They brought us in here
and the kids were great.

115
00:04:44,940 --> 00:04:46,240
Our bleachers are hurting.

116
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:46,800
We asked for.

117
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,200
We started a fundraiser,
asked the city to help us.

118
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,040
City did, through
the approval process,

119
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,840
through the district
and code and zoning.

120
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:57,080
That was a bridge too
far and it was shut down.

121
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,020
There was a lot of work
is a big, big project.

122
00:05:00,020 --> 00:05:02,300
So the school is going
to take on to it.

123
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:06,620
I presented a couple different
options of what we can do.

124
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:10,240
And I'm here today to ask if
we can reallocate the money

125
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,440
that you gave us in
October from the Bleacher

126
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,140
project to another project
that we've already started.

127
00:05:15,140 --> 00:05:18,600
The project is a sanctuary
we built out in center field.

128
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,200
It's a batter's eye
7 Italian cypresses

129
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,260
have been planted, already
purchased and put in the ground.

130
00:05:24,260 --> 00:05:25,440
They're being
watered and we want

131
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,440
to have some monuments built out
there commemorating the seven

132
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,000
championships that we've won
at Yuba City high school,

133
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,160
and with hopes of
building more or planting

134
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,720
more trees in the future.

135
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,880
We'd like to take that money
you guys gave us in October

136
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,140
and just put that into
finishing up the project.

137
00:05:39,140 --> 00:05:41,920


138
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,040
Thank you coach
Mr. Schaaf, and I'm

139
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,280
trying to look for
a little direction

140
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,540
here on what we would
need to do, if anything,

141
00:05:48,540 --> 00:05:51,760
to grant that request.

142
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,360
This is a public comment.

143
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,970
City council can't take action
at this particular time.

144
00:05:56,970 --> 00:05:59,490
However, there is an
item on your agenda

145
00:05:59,490 --> 00:06:01,690
at the end of the
meeting that allows items

146
00:06:01,690 --> 00:06:05,010
on the agenda for
the next meeting,

147
00:06:05,010 --> 00:06:07,630
if that is going to
be far in the future.

148
00:06:07,630 --> 00:06:12,010
I don't know what time it is,
but the first thing I'd suggest

149
00:06:12,010 --> 00:06:14,770
is just under future
agenda items 14.

150
00:06:14,770 --> 00:06:16,450
You can discuss that there.

151
00:06:16,450 --> 00:06:18,590
If this is going to
be far in the future,

152
00:06:18,590 --> 00:06:23,930
it may be an option to
just ratify a decision

153
00:06:23,930 --> 00:06:26,110
of the Council or a decision.

154
00:06:26,110 --> 00:06:28,970
City managers may be warranted.

155
00:06:28,970 --> 00:06:35,410
That ratification could happen
tonight, then, or ratify tonight

156
00:06:35,410 --> 00:06:37,410
could take certain actions
in the city council

157
00:06:37,410 --> 00:06:43,030
could elect to choose to ratify
this decision and understood.

158
00:06:43,030 --> 00:06:45,550
OK pleasure of the Council.

159
00:06:45,550 --> 00:06:50,610


160
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:53,330
You have to take
action I understand,

161
00:06:53,330 --> 00:06:54,810
but I'm just trying
to get comment.

162
00:06:54,810 --> 00:06:58,310
Yeah no, no, I just
have a question.

163
00:06:58,310 --> 00:07:02,910
I can ask a question for
clarification from the speaker.

164
00:07:02,910 --> 00:07:06,830
Yes is two weeks too late.

165
00:07:06,830 --> 00:07:07,450
No, sir.

166
00:07:07,450 --> 00:07:08,590
The check.

167
00:07:08,590 --> 00:07:12,750
The check that has a will
expire on April 25, so I don't

168
00:07:12,750 --> 00:07:15,190
think two weeks is too late.

169
00:07:15,190 --> 00:07:20,310
It If I could please, please.

170
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:22,090
It is 4 weeks too late.

171
00:07:22,090 --> 00:07:25,630


172
00:07:25,630 --> 00:07:26,610
Yes, he answered.

173
00:07:26,610 --> 00:07:30,070
Yes that's because the
next meeting is canceled.

174
00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:32,270
Correct yeah.

175
00:07:32,270 --> 00:07:35,910
And this isn't an item that
has been brought forward yet,

176
00:07:35,910 --> 00:07:36,410
Shannon.

177
00:07:36,410 --> 00:07:39,550
But the 23 meeting will
be canceled and his

178
00:07:39,550 --> 00:07:43,710
date on the check is the 25th.

179
00:07:43,710 --> 00:07:46,170
If I could offer a suggestion.

180
00:07:46,170 --> 00:07:49,710
Always and that is that the
council not take any action

181
00:07:49,710 --> 00:07:54,570
at this time, but the city
manager can act as appropriate

182
00:07:54,570 --> 00:07:57,410
and bring forward something
that the next meeting.

183
00:07:57,410 --> 00:07:59,550
And if you're concerned
about that approach,

184
00:07:59,550 --> 00:08:02,770
please reach out to the
manager after the meeting.

185
00:08:02,770 --> 00:08:04,850
That will be the path.

186
00:08:04,850 --> 00:08:07,070
And thank you so much.

187
00:08:07,070 --> 00:08:10,570
So, Janet, if I may, I
just want to clarify.

188
00:08:10,570 --> 00:08:12,730
So within my
authority, can I just

189
00:08:12,730 --> 00:08:14,490
go ahead and make
the decision based

190
00:08:14,490 --> 00:08:17,610
upon what I heard and
council direction tonight

191
00:08:17,610 --> 00:08:19,910
to use my authority
as city manager,

192
00:08:19,910 --> 00:08:22,190
and I'll just come back and
have it ratified on May 5.

193
00:08:22,190 --> 00:08:22,830
Is that.

194
00:08:22,830 --> 00:08:25,370
So they can move forward
with their project.

195
00:08:25,370 --> 00:08:28,850
Yes so to be clear,
council direction

196
00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:32,690
that you're using your authority
going out on a branch basically

197
00:08:32,690 --> 00:08:36,330
there, Robert, and acting
to transfer the money over

198
00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:38,650
with basically under
your authority saying you

199
00:08:38,650 --> 00:08:41,250
think that it's consistent,
but you need to go back

200
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:44,970
and ratified by
council next week.

201
00:08:44,970 --> 00:08:48,410
And I'm sure that any individual
council members have concerns

202
00:08:48,410 --> 00:08:51,240
before that they can certainly
reach out to you individually,

203
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,420
and we'll also discuss
among themselves.

204
00:08:53,420 --> 00:08:54,160
Fair enough.

205
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,180


206
00:08:57,180 --> 00:09:00,140
Thank you coach.

207
00:09:00,140 --> 00:09:02,580
Next up, I have Tony Farley.

208
00:09:02,580 --> 00:09:05,500
I don't see him in the room.

209
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:09,660
Any other public comment.

210
00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:12,300
Yes, please.

211
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:14,660
You don't have to
turn a card and you

212
00:09:14,660 --> 00:09:15,800
can just go to the podium.

213
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,120
Just give us your name, please.

214
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:30,940


215
00:09:30,940 --> 00:09:31,440
Good evening.

216
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,140
My name is Pam Machado.

217
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:36,080
I live in Yuba City.

218
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,620
Do you need to know my address.

219
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:45,500
OK well, I'm here to talk about
the dog park that's closing.

220
00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:48,060
And I don't know if you're
familiar with the fact

221
00:09:48,060 --> 00:09:51,700
that it's closing pretty
much closed, actually.

222
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:56,520
So I'm here to
request that the city

223
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,360
consider sponsoring a new
dog park for the community.

224
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,360
When I first got my dog from
the shelter about a year ago,

225
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,180
she was afraid of
a lot of things,

226
00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:09,740
and taking her to the dog park
has been really good for her,

227
00:10:09,740 --> 00:10:14,680
and she's almost
a normal dog now.

228
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:17,720
So a dog park is not
only good for the dogs

229
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,080
to enjoy, but also for
the people of the city.

230
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,260
It is an amenity that helps
the city attract home buyers,

231
00:10:26,260 --> 00:10:28,760
tourists and businesses
that can actually

232
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,280
increase the tax revenue.

233
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,400
One idea to reduce the
cost of creating a dog park

234
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,120
could be to section
off a portion

235
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,840
of a park or property
that is already

236
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,280
being maintained by the city.

237
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,100
And so those are just
a few ideas that I had.

238
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:48,290
And thank you for
your consideration.

239
00:10:48,290 --> 00:10:50,570
Thank you for your comment.

240
00:10:50,570 --> 00:10:53,850
Anybody else for public comment.

241
00:10:53,850 --> 00:10:54,950
Looks like you're ready.

242
00:10:54,950 --> 00:11:04,090


243
00:11:04,090 --> 00:11:06,210
My name is Elizabeth Robinson.

244
00:11:06,210 --> 00:11:09,250
I was here last
year when we first

245
00:11:09,250 --> 00:11:15,970
were made aware that there was
a potential closing of the dog

246
00:11:15,970 --> 00:11:16,530
park.

247
00:11:16,530 --> 00:11:18,670
Can you pull the
microphone down to.

248
00:11:18,670 --> 00:11:19,710
There we go.

249
00:11:19,710 --> 00:11:20,270
That's perfect.

250
00:11:20,270 --> 00:11:22,490
Thank you for four more inches.

251
00:11:22,490 --> 00:11:25,770
Yes, I was here last
and I don't remember

252
00:11:25,770 --> 00:11:30,010
quite what the month was, but
we had just been informed.

253
00:11:30,010 --> 00:11:35,450
The board of the I'm
talking about the leash

254
00:11:35,450 --> 00:11:42,210
dog park in Yuba City and near
Shanghai bend park and the.

255
00:11:42,210 --> 00:11:45,010
Board of the dog park
had just been informed

256
00:11:45,010 --> 00:11:49,550
through Caltrans that
it was going to have

257
00:11:49,550 --> 00:11:51,830
to be sold at some point.

258
00:11:51,830 --> 00:11:58,470
And I taught for 34 years and
I have been retired for five.

259
00:11:58,470 --> 00:12:03,190
But while I was still teaching,
we came in the afternoon

260
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:07,350
or and now I've been really
enjoyed coming in the morning.

261
00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:09,950
Now, I understand
well, I should admit

262
00:12:09,950 --> 00:12:15,990
that I haven't kept up with
all the finances of the city.

263
00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:20,170
I do remember that there
was a short discussion,

264
00:12:20,170 --> 00:12:25,030
and that the city doesn't
have really any funds to help,

265
00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:29,550
and so I and I at the
time, I didn't know this.

266
00:12:29,550 --> 00:12:31,530
And if I had, I would
have asked about this.

267
00:12:31,530 --> 00:12:35,710
But afterwards, I learned
that the city of live oak

268
00:12:35,710 --> 00:12:38,270
has a small dog park.

269
00:12:38,270 --> 00:12:42,290
The one that has been
here was like five acres,

270
00:12:42,290 --> 00:12:43,950
but we don't need
one that large.

271
00:12:43,950 --> 00:12:46,040
The city in Live Oak.

272
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,880
It's smaller, like I said,
and I've been there once

273
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,400
and that seems great.

274
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,540
I am not aware of how live oak
was able to create that park.

275
00:12:55,540 --> 00:12:57,420
It's right next to
the soccer field,

276
00:12:57,420 --> 00:13:03,440
so maybe the sports
community there helped.

277
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,880
I don't but I did.

278
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,160
My question was, and would have
been last year, if I had known

279
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,640
how the city of live oak was
able to create a dog park,

280
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,680
and how and then why it's
been harder for Yuba City

281
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:22,120
to maintain the park.

282
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:28,440
So anyway, I appreciate the
time to listen or to explain

283
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,920
this, and thank you very much.

284
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,020
Thank you for your comment.

285
00:13:33,020 --> 00:13:34,920
Unfortunately,
we're not in we are

286
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,760
prohibited from engaging
in answering questions

287
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,240
during public comment.

288
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,400
I can share with you that the
city remains engaged with trying

289
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,700
to figure out options to figure
out whether a public or private

290
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:49,980
park for the dogs is viable.

291
00:13:49,980 --> 00:13:52,000
We don't have an
answer for you tonight,

292
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,200
but it is something
that is of interest,

293
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,180
and we will continue to
work with whomever if we

294
00:13:57,180 --> 00:13:59,620
can to do something about it.

295
00:13:59,620 --> 00:14:00,280
Thank you.

296
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:06,260
Thanks anybody else
for public comment.

297
00:14:06,260 --> 00:14:10,100
Seeing none, go ahead and
move to the consent calendar.

298
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:11,940
All matters listed under
the consent calendar

299
00:14:11,940 --> 00:14:14,520
are considered to be routine and
can be enacted in one motion.

300
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,820
There will be no
separate discussion

301
00:14:15,820 --> 00:14:19,060
of these items prior to
the time that the council

302
00:14:19,060 --> 00:14:20,480
votes on the motion.

303
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,780
Unless members of
the city council

304
00:14:21,780 --> 00:14:23,700
request specific
items to be discussed

305
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:28,140
removed from the consent
calendar for individual action.

306
00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:30,300
I do have one written
request, but before I

307
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:34,780
do that, anything from the
Council on consent calendar.

308
00:14:34,780 --> 00:14:36,940
OK, seeing none, I do
have a written request

309
00:14:36,940 --> 00:14:39,760
from Mr. Ben deal for item 4.

310
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:50,160


311
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:50,660
All right.

312
00:14:50,660 --> 00:14:51,740
Thanks good evening.

313
00:14:51,740 --> 00:14:52,780
Council good evening.

314
00:14:52,780 --> 00:14:54,160
Appreciate the time.

315
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,340
I'm a member of Bay
Area bike advocates.

316
00:14:56,340 --> 00:14:58,520
There's a handful
of us here today.

317
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,160
Maybe raise your
hands, guys and gals.

318
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,800
So we are.

319
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,160
We're a group that
tries to improve

320
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,620
infrastructure in the city for
safe and efficient bicycling.

321
00:15:08,620 --> 00:15:10,380
So just want to
give you a lay down.

322
00:15:10,380 --> 00:15:13,000
So I have three items I'm
just going to cover real fast.

323
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,820
The ATP obviously we're excited.

324
00:15:14,820 --> 00:15:16,440
We're glad you guys
went out for that.

325
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,640
I want to thank Jasmine and
Josh for reaching out to us

326
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,280
and getting our comments on
it and improvements on it,

327
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,560
as well as Farren
Pierce, David Moore.

328
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,000
I appreciate his help.

329
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,720
They worked over Christmas.

330
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,700
They met with us.

331
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:31,280
So really appreciate that.

332
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,160
The other one is the macro
item of basically the city

333
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,460
to get around the city.

334
00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:38,060
They did a great job of
making kind of a grid system.

335
00:15:38,060 --> 00:15:43,210
So North South, East West
routes on the edges of the city

336
00:15:43,210 --> 00:15:44,510
so we can get up
and down the city.

337
00:15:44,510 --> 00:15:46,410
So we really appreciate
that and appreciate

338
00:15:46,410 --> 00:15:47,790
the time that you put for that.

339
00:15:47,790 --> 00:15:53,090
On the micro level, the plan
has a handful of projects,

340
00:15:53,090 --> 00:15:55,710
but really there's a lot of
low cost projects in there.

341
00:15:55,710 --> 00:15:58,130
Just extra striping
when you do a street,

342
00:15:58,130 --> 00:16:00,370
extra Botts dots
when you do a street.

343
00:16:00,370 --> 00:16:02,170
So I really want the
council to consider

344
00:16:02,170 --> 00:16:04,650
that when you go to do a street,
make these small improvements

345
00:16:04,650 --> 00:16:05,430
that are in the plan.

346
00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:06,930
We really appreciate if you do.

347
00:16:06,930 --> 00:16:09,930
We rode over here, a few
of us rode over today.

348
00:16:09,930 --> 00:16:11,230
There's obviously
room for improvement,

349
00:16:11,230 --> 00:16:14,130
but really like the way you
guys are looking into it

350
00:16:14,130 --> 00:16:17,510
and appreciate you
hopefully adopt the plan.

351
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:20,330
So thank you, thank you.

352
00:16:20,330 --> 00:16:24,370
I will mention that May
is bike month coming up.

353
00:16:24,370 --> 00:16:27,890
This was a topic at last
week's sacog committee.

354
00:16:27,890 --> 00:16:33,010
There are a lot of discussion
about regional trails and bike

355
00:16:33,010 --> 00:16:35,070
accessibility and
safety as well.

356
00:16:35,070 --> 00:16:40,190
So it's good to hear
that you are concerned

357
00:16:40,190 --> 00:16:42,110
in helping with the process.

358
00:16:42,110 --> 00:16:46,270
I think that as a bike rider,
not as active as probably

359
00:16:46,270 --> 00:16:49,430
any of you are, but
still nonetheless,

360
00:16:49,430 --> 00:16:51,730
a safe bike lane is something
that's important to us.

361
00:16:51,730 --> 00:16:54,710
So I appreciate the comments.

362
00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:57,430
Anything else from
the public or excuse

363
00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:58,810
me on the consent calendar.

364
00:16:58,810 --> 00:17:00,010
No other comments.

365
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:03,070
I'll entertain a motion.

366
00:17:03,070 --> 00:17:04,670
Mayor yes.

367
00:17:04,670 --> 00:17:10,910
Moved to take action on
item consent ii2 through 12.

368
00:17:10,910 --> 00:17:14,170
Second, have a motion
by Vice mayor pasquali.

369
00:17:14,170 --> 00:17:16,450
Second by Council Member
Shaw on the consent calendar.

370
00:17:16,450 --> 00:17:18,550
All those in favor,
signify by saying Aye.

371
00:17:18,550 --> 00:17:20,750
Aye Any opposed.

372
00:17:20,750 --> 00:17:22,349
Any opposed.

373
00:17:22,349 --> 00:17:23,869
Any abstentions.

374
00:17:23,869 --> 00:17:24,369
Hearing none.

375
00:17:24,369 --> 00:17:27,430
The consent calendar
is unanimously approved

376
00:17:27,430 --> 00:17:32,630
and we will move to
our business items.

377
00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:34,910
There's a lot of
consent items here.

378
00:17:34,910 --> 00:17:38,390
And the next item is number
12, Downtown Yuba City

379
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:40,160
business improvement
district Levy

380
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,820
of the 2026 annual assessment.

381
00:17:42,820 --> 00:17:45,580
This is presented by our city
manager, Mr. Robert bendorf.

382
00:17:45,580 --> 00:17:55,920


383
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:07,480
Hello it's always refreshing
when you hear your name

384
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,320
mentioned and everybody leaves.

385
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,520
No comment.

386
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,740
Yeah, thanks.

387
00:18:15,740 --> 00:18:19,040


388
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,900
I think that was a
one way communication.

389
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:22,820
I didn't really
look for feedback.

390
00:18:22,820 --> 00:18:25,240
I'm just saying so.

391
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,880
Robert bendorf, city manager
your last city council meeting

392
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,280
in March, your board received
the report of the assessments

393
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,720
that are applied
to the DBA members

394
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,240
and your board
received the report

395
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,180
and took the appropriate action.

396
00:18:38,180 --> 00:18:40,780
And now we are
before you to set.

397
00:18:40,780 --> 00:18:43,420
And we set a hearing
date for tonight.

398
00:18:43,420 --> 00:18:47,040
And so the staff recommendations
are that you open.

399
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,100
There we go.

400
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:54,580
Sorry Anyway, that you
have a public hearing

401
00:18:54,580 --> 00:18:57,500
this evening about the
assessments apply to the DBA

402
00:18:57,500 --> 00:19:00,220
and of course, recommend that
you approve the action as

403
00:19:00,220 --> 00:19:03,340
contained in the staff report.

404
00:19:03,340 --> 00:19:05,580
And you can take one of
the following actions

405
00:19:05,580 --> 00:19:06,360
as you see here.

406
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:10,460
I won't read them all, but
obviously our recommendation

407
00:19:10,460 --> 00:19:13,740
is to conduct a public
hearing with the understanding

408
00:19:13,740 --> 00:19:16,300
that public hearing must be
completed within 30 days,

409
00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:17,580
but adopt a
resolution confirming

410
00:19:17,580 --> 00:19:20,160
the annual report as
originally filed or as amended.

411
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,700
The adoption of the
resolution constitutes

412
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:26,860
a Levy the assessment
for calendar year 2026.

413
00:19:26,860 --> 00:19:30,140
So as you see there, there's
the formal recommendation or

414
00:19:30,140 --> 00:19:32,140
the shortened recommendation.

415
00:19:32,140 --> 00:19:33,560
And I will stop talking.

416
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,310


417
00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:36,810
All right.

418
00:19:36,810 --> 00:19:38,370
Any questions for Mr. bendorf?

419
00:19:38,370 --> 00:19:43,270


420
00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:48,110
Yes I just wanted to confirm we
have not received a 50% or more

421
00:19:48,110 --> 00:19:51,910
of objections to the
Levy by the city clerk.

422
00:19:51,910 --> 00:19:54,750
No objections.

423
00:19:54,750 --> 00:19:55,910
Thank you.

424
00:19:55,910 --> 00:19:57,350
Thank you.

425
00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:59,510
The public hearing for
the Downtown business

426
00:19:59,510 --> 00:20:02,990
improvement district Levy of
the 2026 annual assessment

427
00:20:02,990 --> 00:20:04,057
is now open.

428
00:20:04,057 --> 00:20:06,190
If there are any members of the
public who would like to address

429
00:20:06,190 --> 00:20:07,870
the Council on this
issue, please provide

430
00:20:07,870 --> 00:20:09,550
your statement from the podium.

431
00:20:09,550 --> 00:20:14,030
State your name and
address for the record.

432
00:20:14,030 --> 00:20:16,430
Nobody OK.

433
00:20:16,430 --> 00:20:18,030
Do we have any
additional comments

434
00:20:18,030 --> 00:20:22,110
from the public on this item.

435
00:20:22,110 --> 00:20:23,190
Seeing none.

436
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:24,890
Hearing no further
comment on the issue,

437
00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:26,230
I'm closing the public
hearing, bringing

438
00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:29,470
the matter back to the council.

439
00:20:29,470 --> 00:20:31,870
Through the mayor, I'd
like to make a motion

440
00:20:31,870 --> 00:20:35,570
to adopt a resolution confirming
the annual report of the Yuba

441
00:20:35,570 --> 00:20:37,250
City downtown
business association

442
00:20:37,250 --> 00:20:38,350
and levying the assessment.

443
00:20:38,350 --> 00:20:40,770
Assessment for the Downtown
business improvement district

444
00:20:40,770 --> 00:20:43,730
for calendar year 2026.

445
00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:47,270
Second I have a motion
by Council Kirchner.

446
00:20:47,270 --> 00:20:49,170
Second by Council Member Kohl.

447
00:20:49,170 --> 00:20:51,730
All those in favor,
signify by saying Aye.

448
00:20:51,730 --> 00:20:54,330
Aye Any opposed.

449
00:20:54,330 --> 00:20:56,210
Any abstentions.

450
00:20:56,210 --> 00:20:56,870
Hearing none.

451
00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:59,290
Item 13 is unanimously approved.

452
00:20:59,290 --> 00:21:00,190
Item 14.

453
00:21:00,190 --> 00:21:03,410
Future agenda items.

454
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,510
Anybody seeing.

455
00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:07,230
None all right.

456
00:21:07,230 --> 00:21:09,650
Reports and communications.

457
00:21:09,650 --> 00:21:11,230
We're back to Mr. bendorf.

458
00:21:11,230 --> 00:21:14,610


459
00:21:14,610 --> 00:21:15,110
Thank you.

460
00:21:15,110 --> 00:21:16,730
Mayor Council members.

461
00:21:16,730 --> 00:21:20,050
So one of the things
that I want to talk about

462
00:21:20,050 --> 00:21:22,050
was future agenda items.

463
00:21:22,050 --> 00:21:27,290
May the 5 is our first
meeting in May, I believe,

464
00:21:27,290 --> 00:21:31,230
and prior just prior
to that, on April 21,

465
00:21:31,230 --> 00:21:34,470
we have another
meeting scheduled.

466
00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:37,390
So due to a couple council
members being away,

467
00:21:37,390 --> 00:21:40,150
and we talked with
department heads

468
00:21:40,150 --> 00:21:42,470
about items that may
be coming forward.

469
00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:45,030
There was no issue with
moving them to the fifth

470
00:21:45,030 --> 00:21:47,090
to make sure we have majority.

471
00:21:47,090 --> 00:21:49,510
Well, we would have a majority,
but more of a majority

472
00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:50,690
at the Council meeting.

473
00:21:50,690 --> 00:21:55,110
So my recommendation, Mr. mayor,
is that we cancel the meeting

474
00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:58,530
of the 21st of April and 23rd.

475
00:21:58,530 --> 00:22:02,070


476
00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:06,150
Is 21.

477
00:22:06,150 --> 00:22:07,450
All right.

478
00:22:07,450 --> 00:22:11,830
Just make sure so that we
cancel the meeting of April 21

479
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:15,390
and we continue it to May the 5.

480
00:22:15,390 --> 00:22:17,710
Did I get that right.

481
00:22:17,710 --> 00:22:18,730
21st right.

482
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,390
I'm just kidding.

483
00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:23,230
Anyway, that item.

484
00:22:23,230 --> 00:22:26,110
All right, so I will
tell you that you

485
00:22:26,110 --> 00:22:29,030
probably see a few changes
here in the chambers.

486
00:22:29,030 --> 00:22:33,960
Really for access
for folks to look at.

487
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,833
The agenda items as they
appear, the presentations we

488
00:22:36,833 --> 00:22:38,000
have that monitor
over there, which

489
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,880
was a little bit smaller, this
one's a little bit bigger,

490
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,500
so folks can see it just fine.

491
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:45,760
And then we put one right
behind council member Cole here.

492
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,280
For those people on this
side where they don't have

493
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,720
to crank over and look at every
presentation that's up there

494
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,560
or visuals, et cetera, they can
see actually see it better here

495
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,440
for those people sitting
on the side of the audience

496
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,200
again, with recent Bills
that were passed regarding

497
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,000
accessibility, we just
want to make sure we

498
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,720
have all those grounds covered.

499
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,820
Sierra's been at the tip
of the spear for that.

500
00:23:06,820 --> 00:23:08,780
This doesn't necessarily
fall under that,

501
00:23:08,780 --> 00:23:10,760
but this is one of those
changes that we wanted

502
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,200
to see made so people
have better access

503
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,880
and viewing of our items.

504
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,280
Also, you'll see some
changes with our visioning

505
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,780
that we did for
the strategic plan.

506
00:23:21,780 --> 00:23:25,020
You'll see something across
that border in the back,

507
00:23:25,020 --> 00:23:27,160
and you'll see something on
the windows coming up here

508
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,880
pretty soon that outlines
the city's vision so we

509
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,500
can see it often,
live it the whole 9

510
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:36,140
yards and others can as well.

511
00:23:36,140 --> 00:23:39,500
So I wanted to talk to you
briefly about something we have

512
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:42,700
with our leadership team here.

513
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:44,700
Over the last couple of months,
they've been participating

514
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:47,100
in leadership series
that's scheduled

515
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:52,620
to go about five months, and
we do one series A month.

516
00:23:52,620 --> 00:23:55,120
So that training is
keeping our folks here.

517
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:56,760
They're not traveling
to training,

518
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,700
but the training
is being done here.

519
00:23:58,700 --> 00:24:00,280
And this is kind of unique.

520
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,540
Not only do we have a variety
of topics that are covered

521
00:24:04,540 --> 00:24:08,140
in that full day, but
we also that relate

522
00:24:08,140 --> 00:24:12,980
to things such as leadership,
teamwork, those types of things.

523
00:24:12,980 --> 00:24:15,100
But we really want
this leadership series

524
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:18,140
to be community connected.

525
00:24:18,140 --> 00:24:19,500
That's what we're all about.

526
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:22,527
We provide, I think,
critical services to folks.

527
00:24:22,527 --> 00:24:23,960
Hopefully they're good,
and if they're not,

528
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,040
we want to hear about it.

529
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,820
So we've instituted some panels
and the mayor and vice mayor

530
00:24:29,820 --> 00:24:31,390
have had an
opportunity, and we're

531
00:24:31,390 --> 00:24:34,630
going to ask each of the Council
members to attend one of them

532
00:24:34,630 --> 00:24:37,110
and open it up for
us in the morning,

533
00:24:37,110 --> 00:24:39,230
talk to our leadership team,
hang around for a little bit

534
00:24:39,230 --> 00:24:41,430
if you'd like, but those
will be coming up again

535
00:24:41,430 --> 00:24:43,510
in May, June, and July.

536
00:24:43,510 --> 00:24:48,590
And I have to remark that the
leadership team has been super

537
00:24:48,590 --> 00:24:51,070
engaged and not
only picking topics,

538
00:24:51,070 --> 00:24:54,030
but also delivering
outcomes as a result

539
00:24:54,030 --> 00:24:55,730
of those leadership series.

540
00:24:55,730 --> 00:24:59,590
So the first one that we had
was we had three residents

541
00:24:59,590 --> 00:25:02,010
on a panel that live
here in Yuba City,

542
00:25:02,010 --> 00:25:06,770
but they also work as well, some
here, some across the river,

543
00:25:06,770 --> 00:25:08,110
but they are
residents here, so we

544
00:25:08,110 --> 00:25:10,830
want to get that good
resident feel and some input

545
00:25:10,830 --> 00:25:11,810
about what we're doing.

546
00:25:11,810 --> 00:25:13,750
Well, maybe what
we're not doing well.

547
00:25:13,750 --> 00:25:15,050
And it was really good feedback.

548
00:25:15,050 --> 00:25:17,530
And then they share
lunch with our team here.

549
00:25:17,530 --> 00:25:19,170
So there's more
discussion to be had.

550
00:25:19,170 --> 00:25:21,870
So this last week, we not
only had a presentation

551
00:25:21,870 --> 00:25:28,750
from a lobbyist, but we also
had a panel that was focused

552
00:25:28,750 --> 00:25:30,770
on nonprofits in the community.

553
00:25:30,770 --> 00:25:35,970
So we have the Alec Flores
youth scholarship corporation.

554
00:25:35,970 --> 00:25:39,210
We had the food bank
and we had Salesforce.

555
00:25:39,210 --> 00:25:43,530
And all of those executive
directors or leaders

556
00:25:43,530 --> 00:25:46,370
of those nonprofits shared
a lot of information

557
00:25:46,370 --> 00:25:50,130
of how we as an organization
can help those nonprofits

558
00:25:50,130 --> 00:25:53,530
in the community and
give back, but also

559
00:25:53,530 --> 00:25:58,930
how we can help through things
such as donations from others

560
00:25:58,930 --> 00:26:02,543
in the community, our
employees, et cetera but really,

561
00:26:02,543 --> 00:26:04,410
to find out what their needs
are and what they're seeing

562
00:26:04,410 --> 00:26:07,530
as far as what the
city could do better

563
00:26:07,530 --> 00:26:10,090
or what we are doing well.

564
00:26:10,090 --> 00:26:12,110
So they've gotten
really, really good,

565
00:26:12,110 --> 00:26:15,450
but they wouldn't go as
well without the team sort

566
00:26:15,450 --> 00:26:17,270
of helping pick the topics.

567
00:26:17,270 --> 00:26:19,210
And this is what
they want to hear.

568
00:26:19,210 --> 00:26:20,390
It's actually going really well.

569
00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:23,050
So I really want to
thank all of them.

570
00:26:23,050 --> 00:26:25,130
But I also want to thank,
the council members

571
00:26:25,130 --> 00:26:27,460
for your attendance
so far and your

572
00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:31,400
anticipated future attendance
to come talk to the folks.

573
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,580
But anyway, it's just really
been for me, a highlight.

574
00:26:36,580 --> 00:26:38,620
Seeing them engage with
the different community

575
00:26:38,620 --> 00:26:43,260
members about how we're
doing here at the city

576
00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:48,300
and moving forward, what we
can do to make it even better.

577
00:26:48,300 --> 00:26:51,360
So the last thing is, I
wanted to share with you,

578
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:55,500
I think Marysville has taken a
item to their city council with

579
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:57,900
regard to the 4th of July show.

580
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:00,360
I mentioned it, I think, at
a previous council meeting.

581
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:02,380
Just a little bit more detail.

582
00:27:02,380 --> 00:27:05,660
So what the plans are right now
and hopefully they'll go well

583
00:27:05,660 --> 00:27:07,580
isn't solidified.

584
00:27:07,580 --> 00:27:09,140
It's getting close.

585
00:27:09,140 --> 00:27:14,580
But we've had the fireworks
show down the Marysville river

586
00:27:14,580 --> 00:27:15,880
bottoms for the last.

587
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,120
I don't Mr. mayor.

588
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:18,840
You've been part of that
since the beginning.

589
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,840
Five years, maybe six, 7, 7.

590
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:27,760
And so this is the 250th
celebration for our country.

591
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,080
And we thought doing
something a little bit

592
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,000
different to help
provide something

593
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,860
for our families
to do here locally.

594
00:27:35,860 --> 00:27:38,240
But instead of a one day
just a fireworks event,

595
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,920
a two day event that
kicks off on Friday,

596
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,580
and it looks like the fireworks
will happen on Friday,

597
00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:48,840
which is the three of July,
and then the 4th of July.

598
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,440
The second part of the
event or party, if you

599
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,840
will be over here in Yuba City.

600
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,240
And as it's laid out
right now, it will be held

601
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,040
at the Yuba Sutter fairgrounds.

602
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,380
And we'll have a variety of
things for families to do.

603
00:28:00,380 --> 00:28:03,840
They would arrive sometime
late afternoon, early evening,

604
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,580
and there'll be entertainment
for folks there.

605
00:28:07,580 --> 00:28:10,800
Kids non-alcohol event.

606
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,160
And we're hoping that it really
does well for our residents

607
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,920
in the Yuba Sutter area to
attend something here and enjoy

608
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,800
a great not only day with a
car show and other activities

609
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,540
at the fairgrounds, but
also a drone show that will

610
00:28:27,540 --> 00:28:29,900
be held on the 4th of July.

611
00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:32,500
They had to move the
fireworks to the third

612
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:34,520
because of the availability
of the operator.

613
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:39,540
As you can imagine, with the
250th celebration there being

614
00:28:39,540 --> 00:28:41,540
tapped quite
frequently to perform

615
00:28:41,540 --> 00:28:42,980
in a lot of different areas.

616
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:45,320
So we're doing that on
the third drone show.

617
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,340
On the fourth is the
tentative plan for right now.

618
00:28:49,340 --> 00:28:53,380
So I'll be I've got a contract
for the drone association

619
00:28:53,380 --> 00:28:54,880
that will be held over here.

620
00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:01,660
Marysville is doing the contract
for the fireworks show and.

621
00:29:01,660 --> 00:29:04,420
Each jurisdiction, all four
cities and two counties

622
00:29:04,420 --> 00:29:06,460
will be participating.

623
00:29:06,460 --> 00:29:08,300
And also we'll
have participation

624
00:29:08,300 --> 00:29:09,820
from Beale Air Force base.

625
00:29:09,820 --> 00:29:11,780
And we'll do something
remarkable to recognize

626
00:29:11,780 --> 00:29:13,900
our veterans and our
current service members

627
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:16,020
that attend the event as well.

628
00:29:16,020 --> 00:29:19,200
So having said that, it's
just something to come,

629
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,680
something to keep radar on.

630
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,120
I've got the contract.

631
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,640
It's within my authority.

632
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,130
Unless I'm hearing
any objections,

633
00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:27,570
I'll move forward with that.

634
00:29:27,570 --> 00:29:30,443
But like I said, all the
agencies like years before,

635
00:29:30,443 --> 00:29:32,310
it'll be a little bit more
because we're doing a two day

636
00:29:32,310 --> 00:29:34,870
event, but everybody
will contribute

637
00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:37,810
their fair share to the events
that are going to be had.

638
00:29:37,810 --> 00:29:40,330
And I think it'll be a
great thing for yuba-sutter.

639
00:29:40,330 --> 00:29:42,670
And all the jurisdictions
are cooperating

640
00:29:42,670 --> 00:29:45,110
and putting together
something good

641
00:29:45,110 --> 00:29:48,990
for the 4th of July weekend.

642
00:29:48,990 --> 00:29:50,830
That's all I have, Mr. mayor.

643
00:29:50,830 --> 00:29:51,930
Appreciate the comments.

644
00:29:51,930 --> 00:29:54,750
Appreciate the
leadership training

645
00:29:54,750 --> 00:29:57,910
and transparency and
communication going

646
00:29:57,910 --> 00:30:00,510
on with the public as well.

647
00:30:00,510 --> 00:30:04,910
And looking forward to the
250 year and 4th of July,

648
00:30:04,910 --> 00:30:08,510
which will still include the
children's parade, by the way.

649
00:30:08,510 --> 00:30:10,090
Yes, yes.

650
00:30:10,090 --> 00:30:13,350
OK thank you.

651
00:30:13,350 --> 00:30:14,410
City council reports.

652
00:30:14,410 --> 00:30:16,590
We'll start with
council member Cole.

653
00:30:16,590 --> 00:30:18,470
OK thank you.

654
00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:21,490
So March 19th was a busy day.

655
00:30:21,490 --> 00:30:24,830
I attended tended sacog
meeting with Mark on all.

656
00:30:24,830 --> 00:30:27,970
All of you probably expand on
these and just keep it short.

657
00:30:27,970 --> 00:30:30,170
But that was nice
to Tour West sac

658
00:30:30,170 --> 00:30:33,570
and learn a lot about the
unique and innovative ways

659
00:30:33,570 --> 00:30:37,250
they are still
expanding, and building

660
00:30:37,250 --> 00:30:40,850
their infrastructure to
accommodate more entertainment

661
00:30:40,850 --> 00:30:42,490
is what I took away.

662
00:30:42,490 --> 00:30:43,810
So that was a good day.

663
00:30:43,810 --> 00:30:47,330
And that afternoon attended
yuba-sutter transit with Wade.

664
00:30:47,330 --> 00:30:51,090
The blue zones meeting
was pushed to April.

665
00:30:51,090 --> 00:30:54,950
We all attended the
March 21 festivities,

666
00:30:54,950 --> 00:30:57,090
as well as the ambassador
dinner the night

667
00:30:57,090 --> 00:30:59,210
before, which was wonderful.

668
00:30:59,210 --> 00:31:02,110
And the other thing,
which was the most recent.

669
00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:05,570
On Thursday, council
member Pasquale

670
00:31:05,570 --> 00:31:08,130
and I had a meeting
with Robert bendorf

671
00:31:08,130 --> 00:31:11,150
and the leadership
of Buddy's ranch.

672
00:31:11,150 --> 00:31:16,030
And that meeting went
actually really productively.

673
00:31:16,030 --> 00:31:17,830
And it was enlightening.

674
00:31:17,830 --> 00:31:22,140
And we learned quite a bit about
how to come up with hopefully

675
00:31:22,140 --> 00:31:24,900
the best solutions for the
most amount of people in terms

676
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:29,940
of the impact constituents are
perceiving that those homes have

677
00:31:29,940 --> 00:31:31,000
on their area.

678
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:37,600
But we did learn that this group
is through private insurance,

679
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:43,180
is responsible for seeing
the person in rehab

680
00:31:43,180 --> 00:31:45,480
all the way through from
beginning all the way to end.

681
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,540
So it was nice to hear that
these people are very well taken

682
00:31:48,540 --> 00:31:50,240
care of from beginning to end.

683
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,980
And if they either graduate
from the program or fail out,

684
00:31:54,980 --> 00:31:56,480
they are followed.

685
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,580
And if they fail out, they
are not put into our society

686
00:32:00,580 --> 00:32:02,200
and our community.

687
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,140
So there's still a lot to
learn, and we're looking forward

688
00:32:05,140 --> 00:32:10,820
to data being collected by them
and distributed to us so that we

689
00:32:10,820 --> 00:32:13,460
in the city of Yuba
City better know what's

690
00:32:13,460 --> 00:32:15,240
going on in those facilities.

691
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,780
But overall, a good meeting and
that's all I have to report.

692
00:32:18,780 --> 00:32:20,820
Thanks all right.

693
00:32:20,820 --> 00:32:23,200
Next on my list is
council member kerchner.

694
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,280
Thank you, Mr. mayor.

695
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,760
No, no reportable action.

696
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,480
The food bank meeting
with yuba-sutter transit.

697
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,540
The action items were.

698
00:32:32,540 --> 00:32:36,280
Authorization, Federal
Transit grants.

699
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,200
Preliminary draft for
the capital budgets,

700
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,540
budget for 27 20, 2027.

701
00:32:41,540 --> 00:32:44,200
And also looking at a
new service for Lincoln.

702
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,560
Roseville they're going to
roll out a three year pilot

703
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,600
program for that area
since it is growing

704
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:56,400
attended the fifth annual
Payne Avenue temple festivities

705
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,660
with my local counsel people.

706
00:32:58,660 --> 00:33:00,320
And it was really well attended.

707
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,280
We got recognized along
with members of the County

708
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,960
and it was.

709
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,160
The event went really
well the following day.

710
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,320
Lastly, I was asked to
attend a planning meeting

711
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,400
with the superintendent of
Yuba City Unified School

712
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,410
district, the principal,
UBC high school

713
00:33:20,410 --> 00:33:22,210
and also the choir director.

714
00:33:22,210 --> 00:33:26,590
Next month is the 50th
Annual excuse me, excuse me,

715
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:32,330
the 50th anniversary of the
Yuba City choir bus crash that

716
00:33:32,330 --> 00:33:37,590
happened in Martinez, where 28
young people lost their lives,

717
00:33:37,590 --> 00:33:41,090
and one adult as well.

718
00:33:41,090 --> 00:33:43,650
What came out of
that meeting was

719
00:33:43,650 --> 00:33:48,130
that Martinez has been looking
into this for the last year.

720
00:33:48,130 --> 00:33:52,290
They plan on doing a
commemoration on the 21

721
00:33:52,290 --> 00:33:55,850
at 11 o'clock AM at their
monument in Martinez,

722
00:33:55,850 --> 00:33:58,650
and then Yuba City high school
that same day will have a moment

723
00:33:58,650 --> 00:34:01,850
of silence at 11 o'clock sharp.

724
00:34:01,850 --> 00:34:07,210
The 23, which is two days after
that, would be a Saturday.

725
00:34:07,210 --> 00:34:11,570
There is going to be a event
planned for right out here.

726
00:34:11,570 --> 00:34:13,449
If you don't there's
a monument dedicated

727
00:34:13,449 --> 00:34:17,449
to those young individuals
that perished in that accident.

728
00:34:17,449 --> 00:34:20,790
And the Yuba City Yuba
City high school choir

729
00:34:20,790 --> 00:34:22,290
will be attending that as well.

730
00:34:22,290 --> 00:34:26,310
And so that will be at 11
o'clock AM on May 23rd.

731
00:34:26,310 --> 00:34:29,190
What also came out of that
meeting, and I'm asking

732
00:34:29,190 --> 00:34:31,870
for clarification on
this, was at some point

733
00:34:31,870 --> 00:34:33,929
and I haven't heard
anything, but at some point,

734
00:34:33,929 --> 00:34:38,830
Martinez is or will reach out
to local community members

735
00:34:38,830 --> 00:34:41,330
to attend their
event in Martinez.

736
00:34:41,330 --> 00:34:43,469
And I will if I
hear anything, I'll

737
00:34:43,469 --> 00:34:46,969
pass that on to my
colleagues at the city.

738
00:34:46,969 --> 00:34:48,929
And with that, I
conclude my report.

739
00:34:48,929 --> 00:34:51,550


740
00:34:51,550 --> 00:34:52,710
Thank you.

741
00:34:52,710 --> 00:34:54,270
Council Member Shaw.

742
00:34:54,270 --> 00:34:55,550
Thank you, Mr. mayor.

743
00:34:55,550 --> 00:34:58,110
Not much to report out
of me other than anybody

744
00:34:58,110 --> 00:35:00,030
realize it's tax season.

745
00:35:00,030 --> 00:35:01,590
Got like 10 days left.

746
00:35:01,590 --> 00:35:04,750
So anyway, thank
you to my colleagues

747
00:35:04,750 --> 00:35:07,850
for covering a lot of meetings
because it's been a godsend.

748
00:35:07,850 --> 00:35:10,390
I've been really buried
this time of year.

749
00:35:10,390 --> 00:35:11,990
I do want to put
something squarely

750
00:35:11,990 --> 00:35:14,590
on the radar for my
fellow council members

751
00:35:14,590 --> 00:35:16,850
in the coming month or two.

752
00:35:16,850 --> 00:35:25,090
We will be bringing forward
an extension contract for the.

753
00:35:25,090 --> 00:35:26,730
For Recology.

754
00:35:26,730 --> 00:35:28,890
And looking at that,
it is we had a very

755
00:35:28,890 --> 00:35:32,530
interesting meeting at rw Mar.

756
00:35:32,530 --> 00:35:35,050
I'll leave it at the fact that
we've got a few junior members

757
00:35:35,050 --> 00:35:38,910
on there that have no knowledge
of actually what our mayor does,

758
00:35:38,910 --> 00:35:42,090
nor do they understand
what Recology does

759
00:35:42,090 --> 00:35:43,790
and everything in this area.

760
00:35:43,790 --> 00:35:46,770
So it got tabled for the moment.

761
00:35:46,770 --> 00:35:50,490
But on the 16, we'll be
bringing that back forward.

762
00:35:50,490 --> 00:35:52,970
And then after the 16th of
April, it will be coming

763
00:35:52,970 --> 00:35:54,230
out to the jurisdictions.

764
00:35:54,230 --> 00:35:58,450
Because what is very, very clear
is even though we formed a JPA

765
00:35:58,450 --> 00:36:01,850
that contract the power
and the extensions

766
00:36:01,850 --> 00:36:04,150
is still at the
jurisdiction level.

767
00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:08,050
So that will be coming
before you without retrospect

768
00:36:08,050 --> 00:36:09,470
of what the mayor does.

769
00:36:09,470 --> 00:36:12,410
It'd be nice if we can get
a contract over here that

770
00:36:12,410 --> 00:36:17,340
is endorsed or
supported by the board,

771
00:36:17,340 --> 00:36:19,020
but either way, it's coming.

772
00:36:19,020 --> 00:36:20,840
So I just want to put
that on your radar.

773
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,060
We'd love to get
that taken care of.

774
00:36:24,060 --> 00:36:26,140
Hopefully may, June time frame.

775
00:36:26,140 --> 00:36:29,380
That way it doesn't linger
on because those of us on I

776
00:36:29,380 --> 00:36:33,940
know this end of the dais that
were around when this nonsense

777
00:36:33,940 --> 00:36:35,120
went on a few years ago.

778
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,540
We don't want to put the
community back through this.

779
00:36:37,540 --> 00:36:40,940
So hopefully we can get it
done in the next few weeks.

780
00:36:40,940 --> 00:36:42,660
Again, thank you
guys for covering

781
00:36:42,660 --> 00:36:46,420
and I'll see you guys
in about 10 days.

782
00:36:46,420 --> 00:36:46,920
Thank you.

783
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,460
Council Vice Mayor Pasquale.

784
00:36:50,460 --> 00:36:52,460
Thank you mayor.

785
00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:52,960
Let's see.

786
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,900
I've had a pretty busy couple of
weeks, attended my air quality

787
00:36:56,900 --> 00:36:59,480
board committee
meeting yesterday,

788
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,520
and they're in negotiations
with their labor groups.

789
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:07,740
And I was just a little
because the organization

790
00:37:07,740 --> 00:37:11,440
was doing the negotiating
kind of left us hanging.

791
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,040
So it's been postponed
for a special meeting.

792
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,760
It was kind of concerning to me.

793
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:24,520
They left some holes, attended
the DBA week or so ago.

794
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,960
They are churning
along just fine.

795
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,440
I do believe they are
going to have some changes

796
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,320
in leadership or positions.

797
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,720
Not real clear on who's
going to be taking over.

798
00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:41,360
Went to the leadership
as the city manager

799
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,640
said and very, very informative.

800
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,080
Glad I was could participate.

801
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,120
I hope I didn't make anybody
feel uncomfortable because I

802
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,860
get emotional sometimes.

803
00:37:52,860 --> 00:37:54,840
I don't know what that is.

804
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,620
I think it's after
my heart surgery.

805
00:37:56,620 --> 00:37:59,400
They tenderize my
heart a little bit,

806
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,640
but no good group of people
and a lot of good things

807
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,760
going on in our city.

808
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,200
Glad to see that.

809
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,900
What else went to the
Sr. commission meeting.

810
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:15,890
First time and was very,
very pleased to see that very

811
00:38:15,890 --> 00:38:17,930
engaged group of people.

812
00:38:17,930 --> 00:38:20,290
A lot of good conversation.

813
00:38:20,290 --> 00:38:23,850
And just keep that
senior commission going.

814
00:38:23,850 --> 00:38:26,610
The one thing that
I did stress is

815
00:38:26,610 --> 00:38:30,030
that we are a regional
people from all over,

816
00:38:30,030 --> 00:38:32,270
just not Yuba City, come
to our senior center.

817
00:38:32,270 --> 00:38:35,130
And I think that's lost on a
lot of people in our community.

818
00:38:35,130 --> 00:38:39,440
It is a regional facility
that people from all over 2

819
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,530
or three counties come to.

820
00:38:41,530 --> 00:38:45,010
And maybe we need to squeeze a
little bit of juice out of some

821
00:38:45,010 --> 00:38:48,570
of those other communities.

822
00:38:48,570 --> 00:38:52,930
I did attend the buddy
buddy ranch meeting.

823
00:38:52,930 --> 00:38:56,290
I had an expectation
I didn't know what

824
00:38:56,290 --> 00:38:59,290
to expect because I
didn't really know

825
00:38:59,290 --> 00:39:04,690
and they clarified a lot for me.

826
00:39:04,690 --> 00:39:07,490
Council Member Cole and I had
some pretty tough questions

827
00:39:07,490 --> 00:39:10,570
for them, and we put
them in the hot seat

828
00:39:10,570 --> 00:39:13,470
because we are concerned that
you're just going to be putting

829
00:39:13,470 --> 00:39:16,970
things in the community that
people really didn't know about,

830
00:39:16,970 --> 00:39:21,390
and I was relieved to hear of
their model and who they serve.

831
00:39:21,390 --> 00:39:24,270
And it was way different
than what I thought

832
00:39:24,270 --> 00:39:25,930
was going to be going on.

833
00:39:25,930 --> 00:39:27,790
So that was very informative.

834
00:39:27,790 --> 00:39:31,650
I went to the murder mystery
theater on Friday night,

835
00:39:31,650 --> 00:39:34,650
had a Western murder mystery
thing at the Arts Council.

836
00:39:34,650 --> 00:39:38,090
If you ever get an opportunity,
go to one of their functions.

837
00:39:38,090 --> 00:39:40,250
They're very, very fun,
very well attended.

838
00:39:40,250 --> 00:39:46,670
They had two nights and it
was sold out both nights.

839
00:39:46,670 --> 00:39:49,710
Did a.

840
00:39:49,710 --> 00:39:54,030
CTE mock interviews for the
high school last Monday.

841
00:39:54,030 --> 00:39:56,870
I had eight students.

842
00:39:56,870 --> 00:39:59,530
Most of them were
female, unfortunately.

843
00:39:59,530 --> 00:40:00,870
I mean, not
unfortunately, but there

844
00:40:00,870 --> 00:40:03,070
weren't that many male
participants, which

845
00:40:03,070 --> 00:40:05,950
I was shocked at
that they didn't

846
00:40:05,950 --> 00:40:10,410
want to learn how to interview
some real superstars.

847
00:40:10,410 --> 00:40:14,160
Hours a lot of good feedback
to those young people,

848
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:19,800
and the high school was more
than happy that actually

849
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:20,940
my niece showed up.

850
00:40:20,940 --> 00:40:22,840
My niece was one of the
interviewers where she works

851
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,700
for Sutter County
Superintendent of schools,

852
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:30,420
and when she walked in, I sat
in, the teacher goes, her.

853
00:40:30,420 --> 00:40:32,880
And I go, yeah,
since she was a baby.

854
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,580
So that went really well.

855
00:40:35,580 --> 00:40:39,460
I really liked interacting, and
I did total debriefs with those,

856
00:40:39,460 --> 00:40:41,380
each one of those
students afterwards,

857
00:40:41,380 --> 00:40:44,080
and which I guess a
lot of people don't do.

858
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,200
So they got direct
feedback from me.

859
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,400
On a sadder note, we lost
one of our centurions,

860
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,160
Mrs. Dorothy cavoli.

861
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,880
They've been a family in this
community for generations.

862
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,920
They had eight children
that I probably went

863
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,500
to school with, half of them.

864
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:06,460
The other half were older
than I was but nice lady.

865
00:41:06,460 --> 00:41:10,760
And if the mayor could
a close in her memory.

866
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,060
I would appreciate that.

867
00:41:12,060 --> 00:41:14,680
And with that, I
close my report.

868
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,060
Thank you, Mr. Vice mayor.

869
00:41:17,060 --> 00:41:18,040
Got a bit of a list.

870
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,380
I think there's a
lot going on, and I

871
00:41:20,380 --> 00:41:22,380
know that those who
have sat in this seat

872
00:41:22,380 --> 00:41:24,100
before can sympathize
with the fact

873
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:26,460
that when you have
the title of Mayor,

874
00:41:26,460 --> 00:41:30,380
there's a lot that comes at
you a lot different than just

875
00:41:30,380 --> 00:41:31,560
regular council stuff.

876
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,600
But you guys have been busy
and I'm in your own report,

877
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,180
so I think that's great.

878
00:41:36,180 --> 00:41:38,980
Had the opportunity to
go out to Beale and serve

879
00:41:38,980 --> 00:41:43,620
1,000 airmen with local groups.

880
00:41:43,620 --> 00:41:47,180
It's just another opportunity
to outreach to the base

881
00:41:47,180 --> 00:41:49,700
and show the connection
between Yuba City

882
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:53,420
and support Beale Air Force
base, especially given the fact

883
00:41:53,420 --> 00:41:55,160
that at this particular
point in time,

884
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,900
you can only imagine the burden
that's on them, especially

885
00:41:57,900 --> 00:42:02,400
when it comes to intelligence
gathering and reconnaissance,

886
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,020
et cetera they're
very heavily involved.

887
00:42:05,020 --> 00:42:08,400
Sacog every two weeks,
there's meetings down there

888
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,280
and this for Mr. wolf.

889
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,780
It's the funding round.

890
00:42:11,780 --> 00:42:12,300
Where are you.

891
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:13,600
There you go.

892
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:14,900
And so we need to be.

893
00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:15,940
We need to be at the table.

894
00:42:15,940 --> 00:42:19,120
I know you are, I hear, continue
to hear good things down there.

895
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,760
I have shared a couple of things
and we'll share a couple more.

896
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,320
But there's some
good transportation

897
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,540
things going on out there.

898
00:42:25,540 --> 00:42:29,280
And I hope we can continue
to be as successful

899
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:30,460
as we have in the past.

900
00:42:30,460 --> 00:42:32,360
The BCCI has been mentioned.

901
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,760
Definitely Marysville
knows how to do

902
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,080
parades and kudos to them and
events surrounding the parade.

903
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,800
I had the opportunity
with the vice mayor

904
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,800
to Christen the Sutter County
Superintendent of schools

905
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,060
building right over here.

906
00:42:46,060 --> 00:42:48,867
Super building, great
asset to the community.

907
00:42:48,867 --> 00:42:50,000
If you take a look
around, there's

908
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,400
a lot of stuff coming up out
of the ground in Yuba City

909
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:53,520
right now.

910
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,640
Sometimes we don't necessarily
celebrate all that stuff.

911
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,340
We're going to try to do
a little bit more of that.

912
00:42:59,340 --> 00:43:00,540
Even though it's
not our project,

913
00:43:00,540 --> 00:43:02,120
it's certainly an
asset to the community

914
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,640
and their commitment to
educating folks, adults

915
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,890
and young folks is admirable.

916
00:43:09,890 --> 00:43:12,330
I went to the government
Affairs Committee.

917
00:43:12,330 --> 00:43:15,050
The city manager and
vice mayor were with me.

918
00:43:15,050 --> 00:43:16,030
It's always interesting.

919
00:43:16,030 --> 00:43:19,390
They had had a discussion
about town Hall for vendor,

920
00:43:19,390 --> 00:43:20,730
for our mobile vendor.

921
00:43:20,730 --> 00:43:22,530
I think we were able
to hopefully educate

922
00:43:22,530 --> 00:43:24,090
them a little bit
about all the things

923
00:43:24,090 --> 00:43:26,150
that have already been in play.

924
00:43:26,150 --> 00:43:30,090
And I commend the police
department, our code enforcement

925
00:43:30,090 --> 00:43:31,730
folks, for the efforts
they're putting forward

926
00:43:31,730 --> 00:43:34,730
and of course, our
partners at Sutter County.

927
00:43:34,730 --> 00:43:36,550
I don't know if they're
going to have a town Hall.

928
00:43:36,550 --> 00:43:41,770
I guess this was a request
by a business in Marysville,

929
00:43:41,770 --> 00:43:44,290
because apparently they
must have the issue as well.

930
00:43:44,290 --> 00:43:48,330
And my recommendation to
them is borrow or borrow

931
00:43:48,330 --> 00:43:51,810
our ordinance as we develop it.

932
00:43:51,810 --> 00:43:53,190
The Hayden Avenue temple.

933
00:43:53,190 --> 00:43:55,890
And I know council
member kershner

934
00:43:55,890 --> 00:43:59,850
was a key person in helping to
coordinate our attendance there.

935
00:43:59,850 --> 00:44:03,250
We got to sit alongside
our County counterparts

936
00:44:03,250 --> 00:44:08,750
as well as Congressman
Mike Thompson and the folks

937
00:44:08,750 --> 00:44:09,650
over at that temple.

938
00:44:09,650 --> 00:44:13,670
Very generous, very
gracious to all of us.

939
00:44:13,670 --> 00:44:16,710
I want to forecast
to the council

940
00:44:16,710 --> 00:44:20,110
that sometime in
May we are going

941
00:44:20,110 --> 00:44:21,750
to move forward with
being designated

942
00:44:21,750 --> 00:44:23,150
as a Purple Heart city.

943
00:44:23,150 --> 00:44:25,570
There are some things that
need to get in place for that,

944
00:44:25,570 --> 00:44:28,490
but I'll let you
know well in advance.

945
00:44:28,490 --> 00:44:32,390
Hopefully you can put
that in your calendars.

946
00:44:32,390 --> 00:44:34,910
I do also want to mention,
and I should have mentioned

947
00:44:34,910 --> 00:44:39,590
this earlier, when we talk
about yuba-sutter transit, those

948
00:44:39,590 --> 00:44:42,590
of you who had the
opportunity to sit on transit,

949
00:44:42,590 --> 00:44:44,670
when you're sitting at
sacog and you're listening

950
00:44:44,670 --> 00:44:47,630
to Sac regional
transit, it's not

951
00:44:47,630 --> 00:44:48,870
to throw any shade
at anybody, but

952
00:44:48,870 --> 00:44:50,670
they're running at a deficit.

953
00:44:50,670 --> 00:44:52,930
YOLO transit running
at a deficit.

954
00:44:52,930 --> 00:44:56,350
Our yuba-sutter transit is
not running at a deficit.

955
00:44:56,350 --> 00:44:58,850
There's a lot of factors
involved with all that,

956
00:44:58,850 --> 00:45:02,430
but I think we should be
relatively proud of the fact

957
00:45:02,430 --> 00:45:06,960
that our local Transit Authority
and those who help shape it,

958
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,960
I think are doing a great job.

959
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:15,120
The issue of our water rates
is out there right now.

960
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,460
Obviously it hit the mailboxes.

961
00:45:18,460 --> 00:45:20,440
I really strongly
encourage people

962
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,440
to take a look at the QR code
on the front of that brochure

963
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:25,380
as it comes out.

964
00:45:25,380 --> 00:45:29,080
It does a very good job of
explaining why the need is

965
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,280
there, but it also shows a
comparison of water rates

966
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,120
and sewer rates that I think
isn't being necessarily

967
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,200
shared on social media.

968
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,760
I'm hopeful perhaps we could do
a job on that, because what's

969
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,480
coming out is we're charging
this we're charging that when

970
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,080
you look at the rates that are
being proposed through this

971
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,040
to 2018 process, I
think they're quite

972
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,220
reasonable given all the demands
on our water and sewer system.

973
00:45:55,220 --> 00:45:56,580
So look at that QR code.

974
00:45:56,580 --> 00:45:59,080
This is mostly to the public.

975
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,100
Click on that.

976
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:03,880
If you don't have the ability to
do that, reach out to City Hall.

977
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,180
I'm sure they can
help you find that.

978
00:46:06,180 --> 00:46:08,540
Those links.

979
00:46:08,540 --> 00:46:13,820
Continue to plod along with
the Sikh festival preparation.

980
00:46:13,820 --> 00:46:16,440
Again commending our
police department.

981
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:17,760
They're the tip of the spear.

982
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,880
Now, again, it's a
festival, not a parade.

983
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,320
And so our efforts to try to.

984
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,700
Make sure that we can produce
a safe but very vibrant

985
00:46:25,700 --> 00:46:27,580
event within our city limits.

986
00:46:27,580 --> 00:46:30,260
Those are top of mind.

987
00:46:30,260 --> 00:46:32,100
Some of the effects
of our budget trimming

988
00:46:32,100 --> 00:46:33,200
are starting to be known.

989
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,900
At least they are to me
because I'm getting the emails

990
00:46:35,900 --> 00:46:40,900
and so again, I encourage
us to be as outgoing

991
00:46:40,900 --> 00:46:45,120
as possible rates,
program cuts, et cetera,

992
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,060
made necessary by the fact that
revenues aren't necessarily

993
00:46:48,060 --> 00:46:51,420
matching our ability to
provide services that we

994
00:46:51,420 --> 00:46:53,220
have traditionally done.

995
00:46:53,220 --> 00:46:56,140
But I also know that I
have spent a lot of time

996
00:46:56,140 --> 00:47:00,240
with our finance director, our
city manager, the vice mayor,

997
00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:03,030
and all of our department
heads in regards to the budget

998
00:47:03,030 --> 00:47:05,590
development, which
should be coming our way

999
00:47:05,590 --> 00:47:07,010
in the not too distant future.

1000
00:47:07,010 --> 00:47:10,710
I very much commend those who
are involved with this to take

1001
00:47:10,710 --> 00:47:16,550
a very proactive and reasonable
look at the budget amendments

1002
00:47:16,550 --> 00:47:21,030
and changes and abilities to
provide services that we're

1003
00:47:21,030 --> 00:47:24,430
trying to do here in the city.

1004
00:47:24,430 --> 00:47:28,150
Final thing I would like to
do, in conjunction with MS

1005
00:47:28,150 --> 00:47:30,750
Foley's passing
today, this morning,

1006
00:47:30,750 --> 00:47:32,610
we lost Chief William Burke.

1007
00:47:32,610 --> 00:47:37,470
Yuba City Fire department
chief from 1968 to 1980.

1008
00:47:37,470 --> 00:47:40,350
He was 102 years
old, and most of us

1009
00:47:40,350 --> 00:47:42,930
had came across him at
different city events.

1010
00:47:42,930 --> 00:47:46,910
Extremely vibrant at
that age, very engaged

1011
00:47:46,910 --> 00:47:49,930
and a loss to our city as well.

1012
00:47:49,930 --> 00:47:54,150
So this meeting is going
to be closed in memory

1013
00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:57,510
of miss and chief Burke.

1014
00:47:57,510 --> 00:48:01,460
And with that meeting is closed.

1015
00:48:01,460 --> 00:48:02,000
