WE HAVE THREE PRESENTATIONS ON TODAY'S AGENDA.THE FIRST ONE IS FOR YOUTH OF THE YEAR AWARD.
I'D LIKE TO INVITE RECREATION SERVICES, SUPERVISOR MALA, BLUTO TO COME AND TELL US ABOUT THIS GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
UM, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE TEEN COALITION TO PRESENT THIS YEAR.
UM, WE'RE MISSING SOME MEMBERS TODAY, UM, BUT THEY SEND THEIR BEST WISHES AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS OF THE YOUTH OF THE YEAR.
UM, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO BIANCA MARGO.
AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE TEEN COALITION HERE TODAY.
MY NAME IS BIANCA AND I'M SERVING AS THE CHAIR OF TEEN COALITION.
WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE SELECTED TWO VERY DESERVING STUDENTS TO RECEIVE OUR ANNUAL YOUTH OF THE YEAR AWARD.
THE YOUTH OF THE YEAR AWARD IS PRESENTED BY THAT TEEN COALITION TO YOUTH WHO EXEMPLIFY OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP IN THEIR COMMUNITY, WHETHER IT'S INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM.
WE HAD SEVERAL GREAT NOMINATIONS THIS YEAR, AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO NARROW OUR SELECTIONS TO JUST ONE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ONE HIGH SCHOOL NOMINEE FOR OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL NOMINEE.
THE STUDENT WAS NOMINATED BY THEIR SCHOOL'S PRINCIPAL FOR SHOWING OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP IN AND OUT OF SCHOOL.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL, YOUTH OF THE YEAR, ALEXIS FOREMAN, I'D LIKE TO WELCOME ALEXIS AND PRINCIPAL KEMPSEY TO THE STAGE.
IT IS MY HONOR TO BE HERE WITH ALEXIS.
I HAVE BEEN HER PRINCIPAL SINCE SHE WAS IN KINDERGARTEN, AND I DO NOT REMEMBER A DAY THAT SHE HASN'T COME AND DISPLAYED AMAZING CHARACTER AND AMAZING ACADEMICS.
UH, SHE MIGHT NOT BE THE MOST VOCAL LEADER, BUT SHE'S A LEADER NONETHELESS, WITH HER ACTIONS.
I HAVE STORIES THROUGH THE YEARS FROM HER TEACHERS TELLING ME ABOUT HOW SHE HELPS THOSE IN NEED, WHETHER THEY'RE NEEDING EMOTIONAL HELP AND NOBODY'S PARTNERING UP WITH THEM.
I'VE HEARD MANY STORIES WHERE ALEXIS WILL LEAVE HER FRIENDS TO GO AND PARTNER UP WITH THAT PERSON OR STUDENTS NEEDING EXTRA HELP STUDYING FOR TESTS.
I MEAN, IT IS REALLY AMAZING TO BE HERE WITH ALEXIS.
I HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF WRITTEN ABOUT HER, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO SPEAK IT OFF THE CUFF.
IT'S EASY TO TALK WELL ABOUT ALEXIS.
SHE IS CONSISTENTLY ONE OF THE, THE BEST STUDENTS THAT I'VE HAD, AND IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO PRESENT HER TO YOU TODAY.
OH, NO, NO, NO, NO, YOU DON'T GET OUT OF IT.
YOU GOT TO SAY MORE OF THE THINGS.
JUST TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF AND HOW YOU GOT HERE.
WELL, I'M IN EIGHTH GRADE RIGHT NOW.
MR. KEMPSEY'S BEEN MY PRINCIPAL SINCE THE BEGINNING AND YEAH, I MEAN, OKAY, WELL THAT'S IT.
SHE, WASN'T A VOCAL LEADER, BUT HER ACTIONS SPEAK WAY LOUDER THAN HER WORDS.
THE COUNCIL HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
ANYBODY, ARE YOU GOING TO BE UP HERE SITTING IN ONE OF OUR SEATS ONE OF THESE DAYS? I THINK YOU MIGHT
[00:05:01]
BE.ALEXIS, WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL? PROBABLY SCIENCE.
AND DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT SCIENCE INTEREST? NOT AT THE MOMENT.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU CAN BE A LEADER WITHOUT TALKING A LOT BECAUSE SOMETIMES ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
SO CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN, HUN.
WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF YOU NOW FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOL NOMINEE.
THIS STUDENT WAS NOMINATED BY THEIR AP ENGLISH TEACHER FOR THEIR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS AND LEADERSHIP ROLES IN AND OUT OF THE CLASSROOM.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH OF THE YEAR, BELAY TOMA.
I'D LIKE TO WELCOME BELAY AND MRS. HUTCHINSON TO THE STAGE, PLEASE.
HI, I LIVE IN, LET'S SEE IF I CAN DISENGAGE HER.
SO I AM THRILLED TO BE HERE WITH YOU ALL AS WE HONOR BELAY TOMA AS THE ALCOHOL'S HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH OF THE YEAR.
MY NAME IS MELISSA HUTCHINSON AND I TEACH AP LANGUAGE AT THE WHOLE HIGH SCHOOL.
UM, BELAY IS EXTREMELY DESERVING OF THIS AWARD AS HE EMBODIES EVERYTHING THAT YOU WOULD HOPE FOR IN TERMS OF WHAT A LEADER WOULD POSSIBLY BE.
HE'S A LEADER IN THE CLASSROOM, ALWAYS WILLING TO PARTICIPATE, TO ARTICULATE CONCEPTS THAT HIS PEERS MAY STRUGGLE WITH AND HELP THEM OUT WITH THAT.
HE'S AVAILABLE TO BOTH MENTOR AND MOTIVATE HIS PEERS.
I BELIEVE THAT MORE OF THE CLASS OF 2021 WILL PARTICIPATE IN OUR DEMOCRACY, UM, BY VOTING IN THE NEXT ELECTION DUE TO BELAYS PASSIONATE CONVENIENCE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING TO HIS PEERS.
IN ADDITION, BLAKE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF LINK CREW, WHICH IS BASICALLY THAT BODY THAT WELCOMES OUR NEW STUDENTS, FRESHMEN TRANSFER STUDENTS, ET CETERA.
UM, AND HE IS THAT ROLE MODEL THAT HELPS THE STUDENTS WITH GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT AS THEY KIND OF CONNECT AND FIND THEIR WAY IN A NEW SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT.
UCLA IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE HIM AS A FUTURE BREWIN.
HE IS A SCHOLAR, A ROLE MODEL, A CONFIDANT AND ADVISOR, A TUTOR, A THERAPIST, AND AN ASPIRING POLITICAL SCIENTIST.
I AM SO PROUD TO CONGRATULATE YOU AS YOUTH OF HERE.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THIS AWARD.
UM, MRS. HUTCHINSON, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE TIME THAT YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN, UM, YOU KNOW, LEARNING AND, AND I KNOW FOR THE SECOND HALF OF OUR YEAR, COVID KIND OF INTERRUPTED THAT, BUT WE WERE STILL ABLE TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF IT AND PREPARE FOR OUR TESTS.
AND OUR CLASS HAD A HUNDRED PERCENT PASSING RATE BY THE WAY FOR THE AP TEST.
AND THAT WAS ONLINE FOR HALF OF IT.

WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
UM, AS I MENTIONED THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION, WE'LL BE FOLLOWING ALL GUIDELINES AND RESTRICTIONS.
WE DO HAVE A COVID PLAN IN PLACE WITH THE COUNTY THAT'S BEEN APPROVED AND, UM, WE'RE JUST BEING FLEXIBLE, ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES AS THINGS CHANGE AND ADJUST.
SO I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S TIME THIS AFTERNOON AND LETTING ME BE HERE TO PRESENT.
LET ME SEE THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU BEFORE? UM, ALL RIGHT.
UH, YOU KNOW, WE WERE A LITTLE UNCERTAIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

I THINK YOU MIGHT'VE SEEN SOME STREET BANNERS OR SOME OTHER THINGS, SOME POSTCARDS THAT HAVE GONE AROUND, BUT MARKETING IT TO ALL DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CITY.
UH, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL AMERICA ON MAIN STREET.
WE HAD TO CANCEL A LOT OF OUR EVENTS, OUR MOST POPULAR EVENT, HOT FEST WE'VE HAD CANCELED.
WE ARE PLANNING ON BRINGING IT BACK THIS YEAR.
UM, BUT LAST YEAR WE HAD TO CANCEL HAUNT FEST.
UH, WE DID HAVE JULY 4TH, AS YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR WE'VE HAD MOVIES IN THE PARK, BUT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IS CONNECT WITH OUR COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, OBVIOUSLY WE COULDN'T DO THAT THIS YEAR DUE TO COVID GUIDELINES.
UM, BUT WE STILL WANTED A WAY TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER.
SO WE THOUGHT OF DOING A SMALLER SCALE EVENT AND THAT IS AMERICA ON YOUR STREET.
SO WHAT IS AMERICA ON YOUR STREET? IT'S BASICALLY A NEIGHBORHOOD BLOCK PARTY.
UM, WE'RE ENCOURAGING ALL
THEY WILL SHOW UP WITH, UM, GAMES, EQUIPMENT FOR THE BLOCK PARTY AND, UM, LEAD GAMES FOR THE KIDS AND JUST HELP MAKE THE EVENT A SUCCESS.

UM, IT PROVIDES FOR A COST-EFFECTIVE WAY FOR THE CONTRACTOR TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE SERVICES THEY'VE BEEN PROVIDED, UM, THIS YEAR.
UM, THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT, WE DIDN'T HAVE AS MANY LIEN HEARINGS AND IN 2020, UM, AS WE NORMALLY DO, BUT, AND, UH, WAIT, WE, I THINK, I BELIEVE WHEN NORMALLY HAVE THREE, WE ONLY HAD ONE THIS YEAR OR IN 2020, AND THIS IS THE FINAL ONE FOR WASTE.
IT COVERS SERVICES THAT WERE PROVIDED THROUGH THE SUMMER OF 2020.
UM, WE HAVE OVER 16,000, UH, ACCOUNTS AND THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 360 THAT ARE STILL OUTSTANDING.
UM, THE TOTAL DUE RIGHT NOW, I THINK IS ABOUT 55,000.

NORMALLY WASTE MANAGEMENT, UH, IS HERE, CHRISTINE COSTA, LET ME KNOW THAT SHE HAD A FAMILY MATTER TO ATTEND TO.
SHE WANTED TO PASS ALONG HER HELLOS TO YOU GUYS, BUT, UH, THERE'S NOT A REPRESENTATIVE FROM WASTE MANAGEMENT, WHICH IS A NORMAL PROTOCOL.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE OUT AND, UH, DO THE BUILD HERE FOR THE WASTE MANAGEMENT.
YOU KNOW, HE OWED ME OVER $10,000 AND I DON'T SEE ANY, I HAVE NOT SIGNED ANY CONTRACTS WITH THE WASTE MANAGEMENT COMPANY.
UH, I, I DON'T EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE AND UH, THEY WANT TO FILE A LIEN AGAINST ME FOR THE TENANTS USING THE WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR THE, HIS TRASH.
SO I CAN SEE WHY YOU'RE GOING TO BE FILING A LIEN AGAINST MY PROPERTY.
I DON'T HAVE NO CONTRACT WITH THEM AND STAFF.
DO YOU WANT TO HANDLE IT? THANK YOU.
MAYOR MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, THE, UM, UH, REFUSE CHARGES ARE ELENA ON THE PROPERTY BECAUSE OUR ORDINANCE MAKES IT THE LAW THAT SAYS THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES.
UM, HE, IT, MR. MOYLE HAS A CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS TENANT.
THAT'S UP TO HIM AND HIS TENANT, UM, AND TENANTS.
AND, UH, HE CAN SEEK RECOVERY IN ANY WHICH WAY HE, HE WANTS IN PARTICULAR THROUGH HIS KIND OF AREAS, UH, UH, UNLAWFUL DETAINER ACTIONS IF THOSE ARE BEING FILED.
BUT IN FACT, UM, SECTION 8.2, 4.07, OH, SAYS THE OBLIGATION TO PAY THE CHARGES WILL BE UPON THE LEGAL OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
AND THAT'S YOU, SO IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

SO STAFF BELIEVES THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO REMOVE THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUIREMENT PERMANENTLY.
AND THIS FITS IN WITH THE CITY COUNCILS, UM, UM, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY OF REMOVING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BARRIERS WHERE FEASIBLE IT ALSO CAN HELP RESTAURANTS, CAFES, COFFEE SHOPS, UH, UTILIZE AND ACTIVATE THE SIDEWALK FASTER AND EASIER.
SO THE PROPOSAL ORDINANCE IN FRONT OF THE CITY COUNCIL DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED, HOWEVER, OF AN ENCROACHMENT PERMIT INSURANCE AND A HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT, UH, BECAUSE THESE THINGS ARE NECESSARY AS SAFEGUARDS FOR THE CITY.
SO, UM, SOUTH END RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL, UM, INTRODUCE THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AND ASK THE CITY
[00:35:01]
CLERK TO RECITE THE TITLE ONLY, AND STAFF IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.ANY QUESTIONS FOR TONY, STEVE? SO IT SEEMS LIKE, UH, WE'RE REMOVING A LAYER OF GOVERNMENT, WHICH SPEEDS, SPEEDS THINGS ALONG BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WAIT, TWO WEEKS AND A REPORT AND STAFF TIME.
THIS JUST BECOMES AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHECK AND APPROVAL.
THAT STREAMLINES EVERYTHING AND THAT'S GOOD FOR BUSINESSES.
MORE QUESTIONS, TONY, WHAT ABOUT DESIGN STANDARDS? UH, ARE THE PATIOS, DO THEY NEED TO MATCH THE, UH, THE RESTAURANT? DO THEY HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF STANDARDS THAT COULD JUST BE A BUNCH OF CHAIRS OUT THERE? SO THERE IS SOME, THERE ARE DESIGN STANDARDS IN TITLE 12 THAT WILL REMAIN THE ONLY THING THAT'S BEING REMOVED IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
ANY, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS? NO, SIR.
THE CLOSE, THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO, UM, MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
PLEASE VOTE MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
WOULD SOMEBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THEN TO PROCEED WITH THE MOTIONS TO INTRODUCE THE ORDINANCE? I'LL MOVE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL INTRODUCES THE NEXT ORDINANCE, REMOVING THE REQUIREMENT FOR A CUP FOR OUTDOOR DINING AND ASKED THE CITY CLERK TO READ THE ORDINANCE BY TITLE ONLY, PLEASE VOTE MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
AND THE TITLE OF THE ORDINANCE IS AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTIONS 12.0 9.030 AND 12.0 9.060 OF THE OKLAHOMA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SIDEWALK DINING IN THE CITY.
[10. CDBG CARES Act – Third Amendment to FY 2019-20 One Year Action Plan to Allocate Remaining CDBG-CV3 Funds. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council: Opens the Public Hearing and receives public testimony; Closes the Public Hearing; and Adopts the next Resolution, in order, amending the FY 2019-20 One-Year Action Plan to: Allocate and appropriate $500,000 in CDBG-CV3 funds for continuation and/or expansion of programs for existing emergency shelter and refined emergency motel stays for homeless persons and families to prevent the spread of the coronavirus; Allocate and appropriate $10,000 in CDBG-CV3 funds for a new program to provide home-delivered, medically-tailored meals for critically ill persons and families to prevent the spread of the coronavirus; Allocate and appropriate $299,307 in CDBG-CV3 funds for a project to acquire and/or rehabilitate a facility for the provision of shelter for homeless persons and families to prevent, prepare for and respond to the coronavirus; and Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make the necessary adjustments or corrections to the One-Year Action Plan, execute all affiliated documents, and submit all required documentation to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.]
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 10 IS REGARDING THE CDBG CARES ACT.AND I'LL ASK STAFF TO TELL US ABOUT THIS.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, TODAY'S PUBLIC HEARING IS THE THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 1921 YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR ALLOCATING THE REMAINING, UH, CDBG C V3 FUNDS TO PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS. LET'S SEE.
SO YOU MAY RECALL THAT HUD HAS PROVIDED US WITH TWO SEPARATE TRONCHES OF CARES ACT FUNDING THROUGH THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM.
ALL OF THESE CARES ACT FUNDS MUST BE USED TO PREPARE FOR PREVENT OR RESPOND TO THE CORONA VIRUS.
THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE EARLIER ALLOCATIONS OF CDBG CV FUNDS AND THE CV THREE FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED SO FAR IN THE FIRST ROUND.
IT ALSO SHOWS THEM A TOTAL EXPENDED AND REMAINING BALANCES AND SOME PERFORMANCE NUMBERS.
I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THESE RECENTLY IN THE FIRST ROUND CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED THE ALLOCATIONS OF 100% OF THE FIRST ROUND CV FUNDS FOR NEW RENTAL AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND FOR EMERGENCY SHELTER AND AN EMERGENCY MOTEL STAYS PROGRAM FOR HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES.
THE SECOND ROUND OF FUNDING REFERRED TO AS CD THREE FUNDS TOTALS 1 MILLION, 9,000 AND CHANGE THE CITY COUNCIL HAS PREVIOUSLY ALLOCATED 200,000 OF THE FUNDS FOR CONTINUATION OF THE EMERGENCY MOTEL STAYS PROGRAM AND FOR ADDITIONAL RENTAL AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE.
THOSE ALLOCATIONS WERE FORMALIZED IN THE PUBLIC HEARING IN JANUARY, UH, JANUARY 12TH OF THIS YEAR THROUGH APRIL 30TH, 866 INDIVIDUALS, AND ANOTHER 103 HOUSEHOLDS HAVE RECEIVED ASSISTANCE THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS. SO IN THE APRIL 13 CITY COUNCIL MEETING LAST MONTH, WE PRESENTED STAFF PRESENTED AN UPDATE ON HOMELESS PROGRAMS IN THE CITY STAFF REPORTED ON SEVERAL PROGRAMS AND PROVIDED FEEDBACK TO YOU ON THE MOTEL STAYS PROGRAM, WHICH WAS, UH, DETERMINED, CONSIDERED TO BE LESS EFFECTIVE THAN OTHERS IN HELPING MANY OF HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS OBTAIN PERMANENT HOUSING FROM THAT MEETING CITY COUNCIL GAVE STAFF DIRECTION TO CONTINUE FOCUSING EFFORTS AND AVAILABLE FUNDING, UH, TO PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS IN THE CITY, INCLUDING EXPLORING A MODIFIED EMERGENCY MOTEL PROGRAM THAT WILL RESULT IN HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ATTAINING PERMANENT HOUSING.
WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT SUPPORT FOR THE EMERGENCY SHELTER PROGRAM AND FACILITY AT ECE TLC AND WORKING WITH THESE COUNTY HOMELESS TASK FORCE ON REGIONAL EFFORTS TO ADDRESS
[00:40:01]
HOMELESSNESS.CYNTHIA APRIL MEETING STAFF WORKED WITH HOMESTART TO DESIGN A NEW MODEL FOR THE MOTEL PROGRAM THAT WILL FOCUS ON SHELTER AND SERVICES FOR HIGHER FUNCTIONING HOUSEHOLDS.
THOSE HOUSEHOLDS THAT WILL BE MORE HOUSING READY AND HOUSING FOCUSED.
THE MODIFIED MOTEL PROGRAM WILL INCLUDE TWO HOUSING NAVIGATOR AND CASE MANAGERS TO OVERSEE THE PROGRAM, UH, WHICH WILL PROVIDE TEMPORARY SHELTER STAYS IN MOTELS AND INTENSIVE HOUSING PLACEMENT SERVICES.
THE GOAL OF COURSE, IS ATTAINING PERMANENT HOUSING AND INCREASING INCOME FOR THESE FOLKS.
THE PROGRAM WILL RELY ON EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT MOTELS IN THE AREA, THEREFORE REDUCING THE IMPACT AND BURDEN ON ANY ONE MOTEL PROVIDER OR AREA.
THIS WILL ALSO HAVE THE EFFECT OF FREEING UP OF AVAILABLE SHELTER BEDS.
UH, IN OTHER PROGRAMS, STAFF HAS ALSO ACTIVELY WORKING WITH NEIGHBORING JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING THE COUNTY ON A REGIONAL APPROACH TO JOINTLY ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS IN EAST COUNTY, BASED ON THE DIRECTION GIVEN FROM THE APRIL MEETING AND PUBLIC INPUT WE RECEIVED AND STAFF'S ANALYSIS OF EXISTING PROGRAMS AND NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
STAFF IS RECOMMENDING ALLOCATING THE REMAINING C3 FUNDS FOR PROGRAMS TO ASSIST HOMELESS AND THOSE AT RISK FOR HOMELESS AS FOLLOWS, YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE'RE AT.
WE ARE RECOMMENDING FUNDING, THE MODIFIED EMERGENCY SHELTER MOTEL PROGRAM THROUGH HOMESTART AND THE AMOUNT OF 400,000 THIS PROGRAM IS ESTIMATED TO ASSIST 50 HOUSEHOLDS OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR.
AT LEAST A YEAR COULD GO LONGER.
IF THE FUNDS ARE STILL AVAILABLE.
STAFF ALSO ALSO IS RECOMMENDING 100,000 TO EAST COUNTY TRANSITIONAL LIVING CENTERS, EMERGENCY SHELTER PROGRAM.
THIS FUNDING IS EXPECTED TO ACT AS BRIDGE FUNDING TO ENSURE THE SHELTER REMAINS OPEN, UH, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WITH NO GAPS IN FUNDING.
THE REGULAR CDBG PROGRAM DOES PROVIDE FUNDING TO THEM, BUT IS TYPICALLY USED DURING THE COLDEST MONTHS OF THE YEAR.
THIS WILL KEEP THE SHELTER OPEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
STAFF IS FURTHER RECOMMENDING 10,000 FOR THE HOME DELIVERED MEALS PROGRAM OPERATED BY MAMA'S KITCHEN.
UH, THIS PROGRAM WILL DELIVER MEDICALLY TAILORED MEALS TO CRITICALLY ILL CLIENTS AND THEIR DEPENDENT CHILDREN IN ALCOHOL.
THESE INDIVIDUALS, INDIVIDUALS ARE AT MUCH HIGHER RISK FOR COMPLICATIONS FROM CORONAVIRUS.
IF THEY WERE TO BECOME INFECTED THE PROGRAM EXPECTS TO SERVE 35 CRITICALLY ILL ALCOHOL AND RESIDENTS WITH THIS AMOUNT OF FUNDING.
THIS PROGRAM HAS REPORTED THAT THEY SAW A 70% INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR THEIR SERVICES OVER THE PAST YEAR BECAUSE OF COVENANTS 70% REGIONALLY.
AND FINALLY, WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE BALANCE OF THE CV THREE FUNDS BE ALLOCATED FOR ASSISTING IN THE ACQUISITION AND OR REHABILITATION OF A FACILITY FOR SHELTER OR POSSIBLY A NAVIGATION CENTER.
THE FUNDS WILL BE LEVERAGED WITH OTHER AVAILABLE FUNDING AND POTENTIALLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS.
THE FUNDS WILL BE RESERVED UNTIL AN APPROPRIATE FACILITY OPERATOR AND FUNDING SOURCES ARE IDENTIFIED.
STAFF WILL RETURN TO CITY COUNCIL WITH A PLAN FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION.
ONCE A POTENTIAL PROJECT IS IDENTIFIED WITH THAT.
WE ARE RECOMMENDING THE ADOPTION OF THE THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND ALLOCATE AND APPROPRIATING THIS CDBG CV THREE FUNDING FOR OUR, THE ACTIVITIES LISTED HERE.
AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION.
SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE ONE HOUSING NAVIGATOR NOW.
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GO TO TWO THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THREE, THREE.
AND THEN, UM, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE HOTEL MOTEL.
YOU WERE GOING TO FOCUS ON ON ONE FACILITY, ONE HOTEL MOTEL.
NO, THEY ARE, THEY HAVE EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH CURRENTLY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THREE AND FIVE.
MOTELS MOST IN ALCOHOL AND I, THERE IS ONE THEY WORKED WITH OUTSIDE OF OKLAHOMA AND I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'RE STILL WORKING WITH THEM AND ARE THEY ALL BEING UTILIZED RIGHT NOW? PERFECT.
AND THEN, UM, YOU TALKED ABOUT WRAPAROUND SERVICES.
WHAT TYPE OF WRAPAROUND SERVICES ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? ARE WE TALKING DRUG REHAB, UM, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, THE FOLKS THAT THEY ARE TARGETING HAVE TO BE HOUSING READY, HOUSING FOCUSED.
THEY HAVE TO BE COME INTO THE PROGRAM WITH A HOUSING PLAN.
THE SERVICES WILL INCLUDE WHATEVER SUPPORTS THEY NEED TO INCREASE THEIR INCOME TO OBTAIN PERMANENT HOUSING AND MAINTAIN PERMANENT HOUSING.
UH, THE OTHER SUPPORTS THAT WE, SOME OF THE FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE WHERE NEEDED SOME WILL BE USED FOR THE MOTEL, UH, PORTION, WHICH IS COSTLY IN AND OF
[00:45:01]
ITSELF.UH, THERE'S ALSO, THEY HAVE HOMESTART HAS ACCESS TO A MULTITUDE OF SERVICES AND THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO LEVERAGE FUNDS AND OTHER PROGRAMS THEY ALREADY HAVE.
SO IT, AND THEY ALSO MENTIONED IN THEIR PROPOSAL THAT THEY WOULD BE CONDUCTING FOLLOWUP TO MAKE SURE THEY STAY HOUSED.
ONE LAST QUESTION YOU TALKED ABOUT, UM, WE HAVING A FACILITY, WHICH FACILITY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? THAT IS AN IDEA.
I THINK THE CITY MANAGER WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT, OKAY.
YES, MS. MITCHELL, THIS IS REALLY MORE OF A PLACEHOLDER.
I MEAN, WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE EAST COUNTY CITIES AND ALSO THE COUNTY, UH, AT EXPLORING SOME JOINT PROJECTS.
AND SO I THINK, UM, THERE'S SOME VALUE IN AT LEAST HAVING SOME MONEY ALLOCATED TO ASSIST WITH THAT, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE A PROJECT OR SITE DEVELOPED OR EVEN A CONCEPT DEVELOPED AT THIS POINT.
SO, UM, I CAN TELL YOU, I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE, SOME PROFORMAS FROM A NEIGHBORING JURISDICTION TO REMAIN NAMELESS AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE ESTIMATING, UH, $50,000 PER PERSON FOR ASSISTANCE.
AND THIS PROGRAM IS LOOKING LIKE IT'S COMING OUT AT ABOUT $8,000 PER PERSON.
SO IF, IF WE WERE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, I WOULD PROBABLY CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL THAT WE CONTINUE TO EXPLORE THIS PROGRAM OR UTILIZE THIS PROGRAM.
IT'S FAR MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE.
SO EXACTLY BIGGER BANG FOR OUR BUCK, RIGHT.
AND IF I MAY SAY THAT IT'S ABOUT 8,000 PER HOUSEHOLD, SO MORE THAN ONE PERSON WONDERFUL.
AND, AND THESE SERVICES, UM, ARE BEING PROMOTED.
HOW, HOW WOULD THE PUBLIC KNOW ABOUT, UH, GETTING SERVICES? ARE THEY BEING CONTACTED? UM, THEY WILL, YOU WOULD MAKE ANNOUNCEMENTS THROUGH CITY, SOCIAL MEDIA AND EVERY OTHER OUTLET THAT WE COULD.
UM, NORMALLY WE ALSO HAVE CDBG SUB RECIPIENTS THAT WORK WITH CLIENTS THAT MAY NEED THOSE SERVICES HOMESTART ITSELF, UH, THAT THEY HAVEN'T TARGETED WHERE THEY WOULD RECEIVE REFERRALS FROM, BUT THEY WILL TAKE THEM FROM EVERYWHERE AND WE WILL DO ALL WE CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.
AND I'LL, I'LL ADD, HOMESTART ATTENDS A, UH, AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, IF NOT TWICE A MONTH, AN OUTREACH PROGRAM WHERE WE GO OUT WITH SOCIAL WORKER OR SOCIAL WORKERS AND, AND HOMELESS ADVOCATES AND HOMELESS ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS ALONG WITH OUR POLICE OFFICERS.
SO THEY ACTUALLY GO OUT THE, THE CONTACT AS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY CAN ON THE STREETS.
AND SO THOSE SERVICES SERVICES WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE OR ANNOUNCED TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS DURING THAT PROGRAM.
SO WE'RE DOING A LOT OF OUTREACH.
THE CITY IS, IS HEARING A LOT ABOUT REACH CONTACTING RESIDENTS THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, NEED THE SERVICES AND, UH, HELPING THEM GET INTO HOUSING.
OUR CURRENT NAT HOUSING NAVIGATOR IS OUT THERE WITH THE OUTREACH TEAMS ON FRIDAYS.
AND, UH, SHE KNOWS WHERE TO REFER PEOPLE TO SO PEOPLE THAT ARE READY FOR THIS PROGRAM.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS STEVE, EACH YEAR, UH, ORGANIZATIONS APPLY FOR A SHARE OF CDBG FUNDS.
DID WE HEAR FROM ANY PEOPLE WHO HAD APPLIED BEFORE, WHO DIDN'T GET THEIR REQUESTED ALLOCATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS SUCH AS MEALS ON WHEELS OR SOME OTHER ORGANIZATION MEALS ON WHEELS AND THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT GOT THEIR REGULAR ALLOCATIONS ARE, UM, STILL GETTING THEM, YOU, YOU JUST APPROVED THOSE.
THEY DID NOT APPLY FOR ADDITIONAL CV THREE FUNDS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE CITY MANAGER, UM, WE, WE REALIZED THAT MOST OF OUR FUNDING WE'RE USING IT FOR HOMELESSNESS, IN FACT, A HUNDRED PERCENT FOR, UM, WITH THESE ALLOCATIONS AND WITH THE PREVIOUS ALLOCATIONS.
SO THE ONLY PROGRAM I CONTACTED FROM THE PREVIOUS APPLICATION PROCESS WAS MAMA'S KITCHEN.
WE KNEW AT THAT TIME THAT IT PROBABLY REALLY NEEDED OUR HELP.
SO MAMA'S KITCHEN MAY BE THE ONLY ORGANIZATION THAT DIDN'T GET AN ALLOCATION BEFORE THAT GOT INCLUDED THIS TIME.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANKS FOR, THANKS FOR THE NICE REPORT.
UM, THE PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT ARE OPEN, ANGELA, DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS? YES, SIR.
WE RECEIVED ONE COMMON ONLINE AND IT'S FROM RICK WILSON PRECEDENT AND CEO OF THE SAN DIEGO REGIONAL EAST COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
AND HE WRITES DEAR HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

PLEASE VOTE MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
[11. City Council Meeting Schedule RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council considers canceling its August 24, 2021 meeting. ]
WE HAVE FOUR ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS ON TODAY'S AGENDA.ITEM 11 IS REGARDING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE AND ALASTAIR CITY MANAGER.
MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
WE TRADITIONALLY, UM, CANCEL ONE OF OUR MEETINGS IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST.
AND, UH, STAFF'S RECOMMENDING THAT WE CANCEL THE AUGUST 24TH MEETING.
OF COURSE, IF THERE'S AN URGENT ITEM THAT COMES UP, WE WOULD RECALL THAT MEETING, BUT WE DO NEED COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION TO CANCEL THAT MEETING.
COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS, ANGELA TO SPEAK TO CARDS ABOUT THIS? NO, SIR.
THAT THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
SO WE'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, MOVE TO APPROVE.
PLEASE VOTE MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
[12. Fire Station No. 7 Renovation RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: Authorizes the appropriation of up to $3,500,000 of Proposition O funding for the Fire Station 7 Project (PS0051); Authorizes the de-appropriation of unexpended amounts of Proposition O funding related to the Public Safety Efficiency Improvements Project (PS0071); Authorizes the appropriation and transfer of $3,235,000 of General Fund Reserves to the City Capital Improvement Program Fund (501); and Authorizes the appropriation of $3,235,000 to reestablish the Public Safety Efficiency Improvements (IFM3740) project.]
THE SECOND ADMINISTER REPORT IS ITEM 12, WHICH IS REGARDING THE FIRE STATION.I'D LIKE TO ASK TO TELL US ABOUT THIS, PLEASE.
HONORABLE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS.
ME NOT A YANNO UH, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND I'M HERE TODAY TO REQUEST THE AUTHORIZATION TO UTILIZE, UH, PROPER FUNDING FOR THE RENOVATION OF FIRE STATION SEVEN, UH, PROP OH WAS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS BACK IN 2004, IMPLEMENTING THE HALF A CENT SALES TAX INCREASE FOR 10 YEARS TO IMPROVE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, PUBLIC SAFETY INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND THIS SALES TAX MEASURE CONCLUDED IN 2015 AND LEAVING RESIDUAL BALANCES, CONSTRUCTING SEVERAL PROJECTS, THE LARGEST ONE BEING THE PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER AND THE ANIMAL SHELTER.
THIS PROPOSITION ALSO FORM THE PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY FINANCING OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TO MONITOR THE USE OF THIS FUNDS.
AND THIS COMMITTEE RECENTLY MET AND, UH, CONCLUDED THAT, UM, TH THEY, THEY MET TO DISCUSS THE ACTIVE PROJECTS AND CONCLUDED THAT, UH, THE PROJECT NEEDING, UM, WITHOUT SPENDING NEEDS.
UM, THEY IDENTIFIED FIRE STATION SEVEN, UH, S UH, UM, A SITE PROJECT WITH, UM, ELIGIBLE FOR POTENTIAL FUNDING.
FIRE STATION SEVEN IS LOCATED IN THE FLETCHER HILLS AREA BETWEEN FLETCHER PARKWAY AND TYRONE STREET.
AND THIS FIRE STATION HAS NOT BEEN UPGRADED SINCE ITS CONSTRUCTION IN 1960, ACCORDING TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STAFF, UH, SOME OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES, UM, ARE THE LACK OF ACCOMMODATION, UH, FOR MALE AND FEMALE STUFF.
SINCE THE STATION ONLY HOUSES ONE OPEN DORMITORY AND ONE RESTROOM, ONE BATHROOM, AND THE SIZE
[00:55:01]
OF THE APP, THE APPARATUS BAY, WHICH IS WAY TOO SMALL TO FIT, UM, UM, A MODERN FIRE APPARATUS, UM, AND THE BAY, AND, UM, HAVING VISITED THE FACILITY.UM, I'VE WITNESSED THAT WHEN THERE'S A FIRE ENGINE PARKED IN THE OPERETTAS BAY, THERE'S ONLY ABOUT A SIX INCH GAP FROM THE TOP OF THE FIRE ENGINE TO THE, TO THE FRAME.
AND WE HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM ALSO WHEN ACCESSING THE APPARATUS BAY FROM THE SITES.
SO IT WAS VERY LIMITED, UH, FOR OUR STATION SEVEN IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR PROPER FUNDING.
HOWEVER, THERE'S CURRENTLY INSUFFICIENT, UM, UNCOMMITTED FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT.
ONE OPTIC, UH, PROJECT, UM, PROP, OH, IS A PUBLIC SAFETY, ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT, AND HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A CANDIDATE FOR ALTERNATIVE FUNDING.
THIS PROJECT AIMS TO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC SAFETY, UM, ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT.
UM, IT AIMS TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL LAYER FOR, UH, RESILIENCY FOR, UM, FOR ENERGY RESILIENCY AND DUE TO THE OPERATIONAL COST SAVINGS.
UM, STOP RECOMMENDS USING GENERAL FUND RESERVES, UH, TO REPLACE, UH, THE PROPOSAL FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT.
THE COMMITTEE AND CITY STEP CONCLUDED THAT THE RENOVATION OF FIRE STATION SEVEN REPRESENTS A BETTER OPPORTUNITY, HIGHLIGHT THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF PROPER FUNDING AND TODAY'S REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, TO SEEK, UM, THEY SEEK THE AUTHORIZATION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL TO APPROPRIATE FUNDING FOR THE RENOVATION OF FIRE STATION SEVEN, CANCEL THE PROPOSAL, FUNDED PUBLIC SAFETY, ENERGY EFFICIENCY, IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT, AND APPROPRIATE A SIMILAR PROJECT IN THE CITY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FUND TO FUND THIS NEW PROJECT.
THE APPROPRIATION AND TRANSFER OF GENERAL FUND RESERVES ARE ALSO RECOMMENDED.
I KNOW IT SOUNDS COMPLICATED, BUT BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING, WE ARE, UM, APPROPRIATING FUNDING FOR, UH, PROPER FUNDING FOR FIRE STATIONS, SEVEN, THE APPROPRIATING IT FROM THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, AND THEN, UM, FUNDING IT THROUGH, UM, GENERAL FUNDS RESERVES.
AND I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS? SO ARE WE TAKING THREE AND A HALF MILLION FROM PROVO AND 3.2 FROM RESERVES FOR A $6.7 MILLION? THE 3.2 IS COVERED IN THE 3.5.
UH, ABSOLUTELY STAGE SEVEN NEEDS TO BE RIDDEN.
IT HASN'T CHANGED SINCE I WAS A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOY GOING THERE TO GET MY BICYCLE LICENSE TAG, UH, AT THAT PARTICULAR THING.
SO IT'S, WE'RE, WE'RE PROBABLY OVERDUE, SORRY TO THE FIREFIGHTERS, BUT IT'S, IT'S SO APPROPRIATE TO TAKE MONEY FROM THE RESERVES AND TO, TO GIVE THEM A GOOD PLACE TO WORK 24 HOURS A DAY FOR FOUR DAYS IN A ROW OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, WILL WE BE DOCUMENTING THE CONSTRUCTION BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER TO SHOW THE PUBLIC WHERE THEIR FUNDS ARE GOING? I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD STORY TO TELL THAT THAT SALES TAX THAT THEY PAID FOR, WE'RE GETTING OUR FIREFIGHTERS, THAT FACILITY, THAT'S GOING TO HAVE CLEARANCE MORE THAN SIX INCHES WHEN THEY'RE BACKING IT UP, BUT KUDOS TO THE GUYS OUT THERE.
AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE UPDATES TO THE COUNCIL DURING THE CONSTRUCTION.
SO, ONE THING THAT I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR IS THAT WE NEED TO UPDATE THIS AND WE'RE ALREADY, I THINK THIS IS MORE FOR THE PUBLIC.
WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF FUNDS AND A LOT OF ACTIVITY FOR HOMELESS SHELTERS.
AND SO NOW WE'RE TAKING, NOW, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF A, UH, FACILITY THAT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED, AND WE'RE STILL TAKING CARE OF THE HOMELESS, BUT WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS FIRE STATION.
AND I THINK A LOT OF, A LOT OF RESIDENTS FEEL THAT WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OUR HOMELESS AND WE'RE DOING THAT, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS.
I THINK IT'S A, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE AS WELL, THAT THIS WAS A SALES TAX MEASURE THAT THE PUBLIC APPROVED, THE VOTERS APPROVED.
AND I THINK THIS IS DELIVERING ON WHAT THE COUNCIL PROMISED TO DELIVER THEM.
AND ACTUALLY WE DELIVERED EVEN MORE THAN WHAT WAS PROMISED.
SO THIS'LL BE A REALLY GOOD WAY TO FINISH OUT THOSE FUNDS, A GREAT CAPSTONE PROJECT.
I THINK IT'LL BE A GREAT WAY TO MAYBE CELEBRATE THE CONCLUSION OF, OF THE VOTERS TRUSTING THIS COUNCIL WITH THOSE MONIES.
ANY, UH, SPEAK CARDS FOR THIS ITEM? NO, SIR.
THEN, UH, LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY OPEN AND SHUT CASE, BUT, UH, SOMEBODY COULD MAKE A MOTION.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AS OUTLINED IN THE AGENDA REPORT.
HOW'S THAT FOR? NICE AND SHORT.
WAS THERE A SECOND? OKAY, PLEASE VOTE.
[01:00:04]
OH, UH, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO RESET THE VOTE PLEASE.UH, AND WE'RE READY FOR YOUR VOTE.
MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
[13. Redistricting Process Update RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receives the report.]
ALL RIGHT.THE NEXT ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT IS ITEM 13, WHICH IS AN UPDATE ON THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS.
I'M A SENIOR MANAGEMENT ANALYST WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, UM, FALLING INTO 2020 CENSUS, UH, THE CITY BUS REVIEW VOTING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES TO ENSURE THAT THEY ALIGN WITH ANY CHANGES IN THE CITY'S POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS.
SO TONIGHT I'M GOING TO BE GIVING AN OVERVIEW ON THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE SELECTION OF A CONSULTANT, UM, SOME BASIC REDISTRICTING LAWS AND PRINCIPLES, THE PROJECT TIMELINE, AND THE NEXT STEPS.
IN 2016, THE RESONANCE OF ALCOHOL PASS MEASURE S THE MEASURE OF TRANSITION TO CITY FROM AN AT-LARGE VOTING DISTRICT SYSTEM OR VOTING SYSTEM TO A DISTRICT BASED ELECTION SYSTEM FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS SEATS.
UH, THE MAYOR SEAT REMAINS SELECTED AT LARGE IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE MAP BACK IN 2016, WE HELD FOUR, UH, PUBLIC HEARINGS WHERE 125 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN THE PROCESS.
UM, AND OVER 160 MAPS WERE SUBMITTED, UM, THAT ULTIMATELY LED TO THE ADOPTION OF OUR CURRENT DISTRICT MAP, WHICH, UH, WAS ADOPTED ON JUNE AND JUNE, 2017.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THAT MAP WAS ACTUALLY DEVELOPED USING, UH, 2010 CENSUS DATA, BUT SUPPLEMENTED WITH 2017 DEMOGRAPHIC DATA OR ESTIMATES, I SHOULD SAY.
SO WHAT DOES REDISTRICTING REDISTRICTING IS THE PROCESS OF ADJUSTING CITY COUNCIL VOTING DISTRICTS SO THAT EACH DISTRICT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME NUMBER OF, UH, VOTING AGE RESIDENTS.
THE COURTS HAVE HELD THAT AN EQUAL POPULATION BY DEFINITION MUST BE LESS THAN 10% DEVIATION FROM THE LOWEST TO THE HIGHEST VOTING DISTRICT POPULATIONS, BECAUSE THE CITY NOW HOLDS DISTRICT ELECTIONS.
WE MUST EVALUATE POTENTIALLY ADJUSTING, EVALUATE, AND POTENTIALLY ADJUST THE VOTING DISTRICTS EVERY 10 YEARS.
FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE CENTENNIAL CENSUS DATA.
ORDINARILY THIS INFORMATION COMES TO US IN MARCH.
UM, THIS YEAR DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, THE RELEASE OF DATE HAS BEEN MOVED TO SEPTEMBER 30TH OF 2021.
IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW, WE HAVE TO APPROVE THIS MAP BY APRIL 17TH OF 2022.
THERE ARE STEPS THAT WE CAN TAKE, UH, TO KIND OF HELP WITH THE COMPACTED TIMELINE.
FOR INSTANCE, WE CAN BEGIN OUR OUTREACH AND EDUCATION CAMPAIGN.
UM, NOW, UH, WE CAN ALSO, UH, HOST A PRE-DRAFT MAP HEARING AHEAD OF THE CENSUS.
SO IN ORDER TO GET THE PROCESS STARTED, UH, WE BEGAN, UH, SEEKING OUT A DEMOGRAPHER, UM, BACK IN FEBRUARY AND SEEKING QUOTES.
UM, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A DEMOGRAPHER THAT COULD FACILITATE PUBLIC HEARINGS, UM, WOULD ASSIST WITH LINE DRAWING AND DEMOGRAPHER SERVICES AND OFFERED AN ONLINE PUBLIC MAPPING TOOL.
SO IN ALL WE RECEIVED SIX QUOTES, UM, OF THOSE SIX QUOTES, THE LOWEST QUALIFIED RESPONSIVE BID WAS FROM NDC OR NATIONAL DEMOGRAPHIC CORPORATION.
SO WE ALSO ASKED THE CONSULTANTS FOR TWO SCENARIOS.
THE FIRST SCENARIO IS YOU'LL SEE ON THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT, UM, IS IF THE POPULATIONS ARE STILL EQUAL WITHIN THE DISTRICTS AND NO REDISTRICTING SERVICES WERE NEEDED, UM, THAT SCENARIO WOULD COST ABOUT $4,500.
THE SECOND SCENARIO WOULD BE IF PEOPLE HAVE MOVED, UM, THE DEMOGRAPHICS WITHIN DISTRICTS HAVE CHANGED, UM, AS IN THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE WOULD NEED TO REDISTRICT IN ORDER TO BALANCE OUR DISTRICTS.
AND I SHOULD NOTE THAT THE COUNCIL CAN ALWAYS OPT TO GO THROUGH THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS, EVEN IF WE HAVE AN EQUAL POPULATION STILL.
SO IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REDISTRICTING, WE CAN, UM, THESE PHOTOS, I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT WERE PROVIDED BY COMMON CAUSE WHO'S BEEN A GREAT SOURCE OF JUST FUNNELING INFORMATION TO US.
SO THERE ARE SEVERAL LAWS THAT, UM, IMPACT OR DEFINE THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS
[01:05:01]
AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.WE HAVE THE FEDERAL VOTERS RIGHTS ACT, UH, WHICH ESSENTIALLY PROHIBITS RACIAL GERRYMANDERING.
GERRYMANDERING IS THE PROCESS OF MANIPULATING, UH, VOTING DISTRICTS IN ORDER TO FAVOR A POLITICAL PARTY OR, UM, OR RACE.
UM, AND EQUALLY, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE FEDERAL VOTERS RIGHTS ACT ALSO REQUIRES SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL POPULATIONS, UH, WITH THAT 10% DEVIATION.
SO YOU CAN'T HAVE A GREATER DIFFERENCE THAN 10%, UM, OF THE LOWEST AND HIGHEST STRICT DISTRICT POPULATION COURTS HAVE ALSO UPHELD SEVERAL REDISTRICTING REDISTRICTING PRINCIPLES.
UM, OUR CONSULTANTS GOING TO GO OVER THESE FULLY, BUT I KIND OF WANTED TO HIT ON SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.
UM, FOR INSTANCE, ELECTION DISTRICT MAPS MUST KEEP DISTRICTS COMPACT, CONTIGUOUS, UH, DEFINED BY VISIBLE NATURAL OR MAN-MADE BOUNDARIES AND INCLUDE, UH, COMMUNITIES OF INTERESTS OR GROUPS WITH SIMILARITIES, OTHER THAN RACE, THESE PRINCIPLES.
AS I MENTIONED WILL BE FULLY EXPLORED WITH OUR CONSULTANT.
IN 2019, THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE PASSED AB EIGHT 49 OR THE FAIR MAPS ACT AND SUBSEQUENTLY AB 1276 AND 2020, WHICH PROVIDED CLEANUP, UM, AND CLARIFICATION OF THE FAIR MAPS ACT.
UM, THE ACT ESSENTIALLY REQUIRES CITIES TO TAKE ADDITIONAL STEPS TO INCREASE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS.
YES, IMPORTANTLY, THE ACT INCREASES THE NUMBER OF, UM, PUBLIC OR REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARINGS FROM ONE HEARING TO FOUR HEARINGS.
ONE OF THE HEARINGS MUST BE HELD BEFORE THE, UH, MAPS ARE DRAFTED TO AFTER THE MAPS HAVE BEEN DRAFTED AND ONE EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE MAPS HAVE BEEN DRAFTED.
AND THAT'S THE CHOICE THAT WE GET TO KIND OF MAKE ALONG THE PROCESS.
UM, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER HEARING REQUIREMENTS LISTED HERE ON THE SLIDE.
FOR INSTANCE, THE COUNCIL, UM, WILL HAVE TO CONVENE AND HOLD HOST THESE MEETINGS.
UM, THE CONSULTANT AND STAFF CAN HOST ONE PRE-DRAFT MAP HEARING.
UH, IT HAS TO HAVE A FIXED START TIME.
SO IF YOU STARTED AT THREE O'CLOCK ON A COUNCIL MEETING DAY, IT WOULD HAVE TO START AT THREE O'CLOCK OR IF YOU SAID FOUR O'CLOCK YOU'D HAVE TO STOP AT FOUR O'CLOCK AND START THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ONE OF THE HEARINGS HAVE TO BE AFTER HOURS, UM, EITHER 6:00 PM ON A WEEKDAY OR ON A WEEKEND.
AND IF REQUESTED WITHIN 72 HOURS, WE'D HAVE TO PROVIDE LIVE INTERPRETATION AT THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARING.
UM, AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE AT THE LAST GO AROUND.
WHEN WE ESTABLISHED DISTRICTS IN 2017, WE ACTUALLY PROVIDED LIVE INTERPRETATION.
SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE'RE UNFAMILIAR WITH.
AND THEN EACH OF THE HEARINGS HAVE TO BE HOSTED IN AN ADA ACCESSIBLE FACILITY.
IT ALSO OUTLINES SOME, UM, SPECIFICATIONS FOR WHAT, FOR A WEBPAGE.
UM, SO WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE A REDISTRICTING WEBPAGE.
IT HAS TO PROVIDE AN AREA FOR INTERESTED CITIZENS TO SIGN UP FOR MORE INFORMATION, UH, TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
UH, IT HAS TO PROVIDE SOME GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT REDISTRICTING.
IT HAS TO HOST OUR CALENDARS NOTICES AND AGENDAS, UH, HEARINGS AND OR RECORDINGS AND SUMMARIES ON SORRY, HEARING RECORDINGS OR SUMMARIES, AND THEN MAPS, UM, THAT ARE CONSIDERED OR ADOPTED.
AND IT HAS TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION AND, UM, OTHER LANGUAGES THE FAIR MAP ACT ALSO REQUIRES THE CITY TO MAKE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT EFFORT, UM, TO BROADLY DISTRIBUTE INFORMATION REDIS ABOUT THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS TO COMMUNITY GROUPS AND THE MEDIA.
AND FINALLY, THE ACT ESTABLISHES, UH, SEVERAL NOTICES.
I PUT A COUPLE OF THEM UP HERE.
UM, THERE'S A 21 DAY WAITING PERIOD AFTER THE CENSUS, UM, BEFORE WE CAN APPROVE OUR OR POST FOR CREATE A DRAFT MAP.
AND THEN, UH, THE FINAL FINAL DRAFT MAP HAS TO BE POSTED FOR SEVEN DAYS BEFORE IT'S ADOPTED AS FOR TIMELINE.
UM, THIS MONTH WE HOPE TO SECURE OUR CONTRACT WITH THE DEMOGRAPHER AND THEN, UH, BETWEEN NOW AND SEPTEMBER, WE HOPE TO BEGIN OUR OUTREACH AND ALSO, UH, HOST A PRE-DRAFT MEETING OR MEETINGS DEPENDING ON WHICH ONE WE CHOOSE.
AND THEN BETWEEN OCTOBER AND JANUARY, UM, AFTER WE RECEIVED THE CENSUS DATA IN SEPTEMBER, WE'LL, UH, START TO DRAFT OUR MAPS AND THEN HOLD POST DRAFT MAP HEARINGS.
AND THEN BETWEEN JANUARY AND APRIL, WE HOPE TO PRESENT A DRAFT MAP TO YOU GUYS FOR CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL BY THAT APRIL 17TH DEADLINE,
[01:10:02]
AS FOR NEXT STEPS.UM, AS I MENTIONED, WE HOPE TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH NDC, DEVELOP AN OUTREACH PLAN.
ONCE WE HAVE OUR CONTRACTOR ON BOARD, UH, ALSO DETERMINE HEARING DATES BASED ON COUNCIL AVAILABILITY AND THE CONSULTANT'S AVAILABILITY, AND THEN CREATE A REDISTRICTING WEBSITE.
AND WITH THAT, I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
APPRECIATE THAT QUESTIONS, MICHELLE.
UM, I KNOW THAT WE, ON YOUR TIMELINE, YOU TALKED ABOUT, UM, PUTTING TOGETHER THE NO GO BACK.
AND ONCE YOU GET THE DEMOGRAPHER TO ESTABLISH STEPS, YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE, BUT HAVE YOU DONE ANY PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS ON HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THE PUBLIC ENGAGED? I'D LIKE TO SEE OUT OF 101 HUNDRED, 5,000 PEOPLE MORE THAN 125 PEOPLE BE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.
AND I KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD SOME, UM, COMMUNITY GROUPS, UM, UM, CONTACT US TO BE A PART OF THIS, UH, WE DISTRIBUTING PROCESS.
AND, UM, SO DO YOU HAVE ANY OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION? BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S, UH, IT'S SOMETHING IT'S AN IMPORTANT AND THIS PAST YEAR, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF TIME TO SIT BACK AND THINK ABOUT THINGS BECAUSE WE'VE ALL BEEN AT HOME.
UM, SO I WAS JUST KIND OF WONDERING WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON THAT.
I MEAN, JUST TO A MINIMUM, UM, THE LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED, THE FAIR MAP ACT ACTUALLY INCREASES THE LEVEL OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT.
SO WE HAVE MORE PUBLIC MEETINGS.
WE HAVE REQUIREMENTS TO REACH OUT TO COMMUNITY GROUPS.
WE HAVE, UM, OBVIOUSLY REQUIREMENTS TO WORK WITH THE MEDIA.
SO I THINK IT'S, IT'S ALREADY STRUCTURED IN A WAY THAT'S GONNA, UH, ENGAGE AND, UM, COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE MORE THAN WE HAVE POTENTIALLY IN THE PAST.
UM, AND WE HAVE OVER THE PANDEMIC HAD OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH SOME OF OUR OTHER, UH, COMMUNITY GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
AND SO I THINK THOSE ARE GOING TO BE VALUABLE, INTERSECTS WHERE WE CAN START TO, UM, BRING IN SOME MORE INVOLVEMENT IF YOU WILL.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT, UH, EVEN WITH AN APRIL 20, 22 DATE, THAT IS BEFORE ANY FILING PERIODS FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO RUN FOR COUNCIL AND THE NOVEMBER, 2022 ELECTION.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE BEATING ALL THE DEADLINES.
SO ANYBODY WILL KNOW WHAT DISTRICT THEY'RE IN, WHERE THEY CAN RUN.
SO JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, HOW DOES THAT, WOULD WE STAY IN OUR DISTRICTS NOW UNTIL AFTER THE 20, 22 ELECTION, IF WE ARE CHANGING THE DISTRICTS, YOU'D STAY IN A DISTRICT AND THEN THAT WOULD CHANGE AT THE TIME WHEN YOUR DISTRICT CAME UP FOR ELECTION.
SO EVEN THERE WAS A CHANGE, IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE A MASSIVE CHANGE.
YOU MIGHT ADD A COUPLE OF STREETS OR TAKE A COUPLE OF STREETS OUT.
SO YOU STILL BASICALLY REPRESENT THE SAME DISTRICT.
SO IT'S JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO THE YEAH.
CAUSE MY, UH, TERM GOES IN AFTER THE REDISTRICTING AND IF WE CHANGE THE BOUNDARIES, I WAS JUST KIND OF CURIOUS HOW THAT WORKED.
I EXPERIENCED THAT IN THE LAST ELECTIONS WHEN WE HAD A REGISTRATION FOR THE FIRST TIME.
AND THERE WERE PEOPLE THAT HAD, UH, HAD TO BE AT LARGE UNTIL THE NEXT REDISTRICT ELECTION AND THEN THEY WERE MOVED OVER INTO THE PROPER SLOT.
UNLESS I EXPLAINED THAT WRONG, BUT HEY BOSS.
UM, ANGELA, ANY SPEAK CARDS ON THIS ITEM? WE RECEIVED NO COMMENTS, SIR.
RIGHT THEN IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, LIKE TO TAKE A MOTION, I'LL MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE STAFF REPORT.
PLEASE VOTE MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
[14. COVID-19 Status Report RECOMMENDATION: No action required.]
THE LAST ADMINISTER REPORT ON 14 IS A COVID-19 UPDATE.AND I'LL ASK OUR ESTEEM, CITY MANAGER, TELL US ABOUT THIS, MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
I DON'T HAVE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION OR GRAPHS TO SHOW.
I JUST DID WANT TO ANNOUNCE, I THINK MOST COUNCIL MEMBERS KNOW, BUT PERHAPS FOR THE PUBLIC THAT THE STATE HAS RELEASED, ITS WHAT IT'S CALLING THE BEYOND THE BLUEPRINT MODEL FOR WHAT'S GOING TO OCCUR AFTER JULY ON JUNE 15TH.
SO ESSENTIALLY AFTER JUNE 15TH WILL BE NO LONGER ANY DISTANT PHYSICAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS OR CAPACITY RESTRICTIONS, WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT
[01:15:01]
THIS ROOM COULD BE IN FULL CAPACITY.UM, MASKING REQUIREMENTS WILL MIRROR THOSE OF THE CDCS GUIDELINES.
IT ALSO SAYS THAT LARGE SCALE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR EVENTS IN THIS PARTICULAR INTEREST OF US BECAUSE WE HAVE THE MAGNOLIA, UM, THAT THOSE INDOOR EVENTS CAN OCCUR AT FULL CAPACITY, BUT WOULD REQUIRE EITHER A PROOF OF A VACCINATION OR THAT HAVE A NEGATIVE TEST.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE NEGATIVE TEST WOULD BE A SELF, UH, SELF ATTEST THAT YOU RECEIVED A NEGATIVE TEST.
SO, UM, THOSE ARE SOME OF THE GUIDELINES COMING DOWN AND AS MORE INFORMATION COMES AVAILABLE, UH, WE'LL PROVIDE THOSE TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
UM, ALTHOUGH NOT ON THE AGENDA, I AM ASSUMING AT SOME POINT THIS COUNCIL WILL WANT TO GO BACK TO ITS REGULAR BUSINESS, UM, UH, PRE PRE PANDEMIC MODE, UH, IN TERMS OF HOW HE RECEIVED COMMENTS AND UM, HOW WE FILL THE AUDITORIUM, BUT UH, NOT ON THE AGENDA TYPE, BUT WE SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT AT SOME POINT SOON.
LET'S PUT ON THE NEXT AGENDA AND DISCUSS IT GENTLY.
ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? NO COMMENTS RECEIVED, SIR.
ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION.
CAN YOU CHECK? BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE, UH, MASK REQUIREMENT OR THE COVID TEST WAS FOR VENUES OF 5,000 OR MORE SOME VENUE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'LL, WE'LL GET SOME MORE INFORMATION AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.
I THINK WE'RE OKAY AT THE MAGNOLIA TO, TO RUN CORRECT.
UH, IT'S 5,000 OR MORE THAT I THINK HAD THE RESTRICTIONS, CORRECT.
I MEAN, LIVE NATION STILL MAY HAVE SOME LIVE NATION REQUIREMENTS, UM, THAT THEY HAVEN'T INDICATED THAT, BUT THAT COULD ALWAYS BE A POSSIBILITY, BUT THEY HAVE NOT IN OUR RECENT MEETINGS WITH THEM HAVE NOT INDICATED THAT THEY PLAN ON DOING ANYTHING ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THE HEALTH, THE LOCAL HEALTH ORDINANCE.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? SOMEBODY LIKES TO MAKE A MOTION.
MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
[15. Council Activity Report]
OKAY.WE'RE AT, UH, ACTIVITY REPORTS MINOR AS REPORTED A COUNCIL MEMBER, MR. GOBLE, ALL THAT ONE THING TO MY REPORT AND THAT IS THE ADVANCED WATER PURIFICATION.
WE HIT A MILESTONE LAST WEEK IN, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT COUNCILS SHOULD BE AWARE OF.
WE APPROVED THE $70 MILLION BUDGET FOR FISCAL 2122 MORE IMPORTANTLY IN ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PRESS CONFERENCE THAT THE JPA, WHICH IS THE CITY OF ALCOHOL AND PADRE DAM AND THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, UH, ARE ACCEPTING A, UH, $375 MILLION LOAN FROM THE US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY AT A 35 YEAR RATE OR 35 YEAR TERM AT 2.3, 5%.
THAT COVERS ABOUT 60% OF THE TOTAL PROJECT COST.
THE COSTS HAVE ESCALATED BECAUSE OF THE COST OF MATERIALS, JUST LIKE ANYTHING ELSE.
THE COST OF STEEL HAS GONE UP 300% JUST IN THE PAST YEAR AND THAT'S A BIG RISK, BUT WE THINK BY THE TIME WE'RE READY TO START CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR, THAT WILL COME DOWN TO JUST 150%, NOT 300%.
UH, BUT WE HAVE, UH, AN OFF RAMP NEXT FEBRUARY WHERE IT'S A GO NO GO DECISION.
SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD.
AND NEXT FEBRUARY I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHETHER WE'RE A GO NO-GO FOR PUTTING SHOVELS IN THE GROUND.
WE HAVE ITEM 16 TO CONSIDER THAT MISS ITEM 16.
I, YOU KNOW, MY SCRIPT DOESN'T HAVE THAT.
IT'S RIGHT AFTER YOUR ACTIVITIES REPORT IS THE LEGISLATURE.
UH, W WELL, LET'S GO AHEAD AND FINISH COUNCILMEN REPORTS AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT.
SO MICHELLE, I HAVE ONE CHANGE.
UM, I TRIED TO ATTEND THE, UH, EAST COUNTY HOMELESS TASK FORCE MEETING ON YOUTH HOMELESSNESS, BUT FOR SOME REASON, THE, THE MEETING, WELL, I KNOW WHY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
SO THE MEETING DIDN'T HAPPEN, BUT I TRIED.
[16. Legislative Report]
ITEM 16, LEGISLATIVE REPORT WITH, UH, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.DEMASSIO THANK YOU, MAYOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.
IT'S CERTAINLY FORGIVABLE TO SKIP OVER
[01:20:01]
THIS SINCE WE HAVEN'T DONE IT IN A WHILE.UM, BUT I WAS JUST WORRIED ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AS WELL.
YOU SHOULD BE IT'S, IT'S FOUR PAGES LONG IT'S IN YOUR, UM, PACKET, BUT I DO WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GO OVER A FEW THINGS.
WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE SESSION.
AND, UM, IF YOU'LL NOTICE INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, ALL BUT ONE OF THE BILLS AND THE FOUR PAGES ARE PROPOSED BY ONE PARTY.
AND THIS IS, THIS IS THE RESULT OF HAVING SUPER MAJORITIES IN BOTH THE ASSEMBLY AND THE SENATE.
AND THESE ARE BILLS THAT ARE OF PARTICULAR CONCERN TO THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES AND OUR PARTICULAR CONCERN TO HOW WE DO BUSINESS.
AND MOST OF THE, UM, ACTIVITY BY THE MINORITY PARTY, UH, KIND OF GOES INTO THE SUSPENSE FILE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, UM, INCLUDING THE ONE THAT MR. KENDRICK ASKED US TO LOOK AT THE LAST TIME WE HAD A LEGISLATIVE REPORT ABOUT INCREASING PENALTIES FOR, UM, STEALING ITEMS, UH, OFF OF PEOPLE'S DOORSTEPS, THE SO-CALLED AMAZON BILL.
SO LET ME JUST REAL QUICKLY GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THESE.
THEY ARE SIGNIFICANT AND IN JUST YESTERDAY, SEVERAL OF THESE TOOK MAJOR STEPS FORWARD.
UM, THE FIRST ONE, SB EIGHT, UH, THIS WOULD, UM, EXTEND THE, UM, HOUSING CRISIS ACT, UH, THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY, UH, INVOLVED IN, IN COMPLYING WITH, FROM 2019 TO 2030, IT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED TO GO FROM 2019 2025.
THIS WOULD EXTEND IT, UM, ANOTHER FIVE YEARS.
AND THAT HAS SOME, UM, THAT HAS SOME TRIGGERS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO BE PARTICULARLY COGNIZANT OF AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW.
NOW THIS IS GONE, IT'S IN THE THIRD READING OF THE SENATE.
SO IT'S LIKELY TO PASS THE SENATE WILL GO ON TO THE ASSEMBLY BECAUSE IT ORIGINATED IN THE SENATE.
UM, PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ONE ON THIS LIST.
UM, TOOK A GIANT STEP FORWARD.
UM, THIS ESTABLISHES A STATE LEVEL HOUSING APPEALS COMMITTEE THAT IF YOU, AS THE CITY COUNCIL DENY A HOUSING PROJECT THROUGH EITHER THAT'S BROUGHT TO YOU THROUGH A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT OR ANOTHER DISCRETIONARY PERMIT, LIKE A TENTATIVE MAP, THAT DECISION CAN BE APPEALED TO A STATE HOUSING COMMITTEE THAT CAN OVERTURN YOUR DECISION, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE MAKING THE DECISION FOR THIS COMMUNITY.
UM, THAT JUST WENT TO A THIRD READING, UH, IN THE SENATE, PROBABLY.
SO IT'S LIKELY TO GO THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS IN THE SENATE MAJOR, MAJOR ISSUE THERE.
UM, AB 1401, UH, THIS WOULD PROHIBIT, UH, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT FROM INCLUDING OUR ZONING CODE FROM, UH, FROM, UM, IMPOSING MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND ENFORCING MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR ANY, UM, RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL OR OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT'S WITHIN A HALF FOR MILE OF TRANSIT.
SO OBVIOUSLY OUR TRANSIT AREA SPECIFIC PLAN, UM, OUR TROLLEY LOCATIONS, ANY PROJECT WITHIN A HALF MILE, WHICH IS QUITE A DISTANCE.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, UM, ANY PROJECT WITHIN A HALF MILE OF THOSE LOCATIONS, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ENFORCE PARKING REQUIREMENTS, ONSITE PARKING REQUIREMENTS THAT WENT TO A THIRD READING IN THE ASSEMBLY.
SO THAT'S LIKELY TO PASS THE ASSEMBLY.
NOW WE'LL GO ON TO THE SENATE.
UM, AGAIN, STATUS UNKNOWN AS TO HOW SUCCESSFUL IT WILL BE THERE.
UM, THE SB SIX 21 NOW IN THE SENATE, SB SIX
SO SOMEBODY ACQUIRES A MOTEL IN TOWN, THEY WANT TO CONVERT IT TO PERMANENT HOUSING.
AND AS LONG AS THEY, UM, RESTRICT SOME OF THOSE FOR LOWER INCOME UNITS, YOU CANNOT REQUIRE A DISCRETIONARY PERMIT ONLY MINISTERIAL, WHICH OF COURSE YOU CAN'T CONDUCT.
SO THIS, UM, THIS WAS A ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED.
NOW THIS HAS AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE BECAUSE IT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR A HEARING TO GO THROUGH THE HEARING PROCESS COMMITTEE OF GOVERNMENT AND IT WAS CANCELED BY THE AUTHOR.
SO THERE'S THAT USUALLY INDICATES THERE'S SOME MOVEMENT THERE, UM, WHERE THE AUTHOR HAS RECEIVED SOME PUSHBACK, UM, EXCUSE ME, A, B EIGHT, 16.
THIS WOULD ESTABLISH THE REQUIREMENT FOR ALL LOCAL AGENCIES TO DEVELOP A HOMELESSNESS ACTION PLAN, UM, REQUIRING, UH, THE AGENCY TO REDUCE HOMELESSNESS BY 90% BY 2029.
UM, THIS IS KIND OF A DIFFICULT THING TO DO WHEN A LOT OF THE HOMELESSNESS IS ALMOST AS A RESULT, IN SOME CASES OF SOME OF THE LAWS ARE COMING OUT OF SACRAMENTO.
SO, UM, AGAIN, THAT'S THAT THAT'S CURRENTLY IN THE SUSPENSE FILE.
UM, SEVERAL OF THESE WERE IN THE SUSPENSE FILE,
[01:25:01]
BUT AS OF A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, THEY MOVED OUT OF IT.SO TYPICALLY SINCE WE'RE ONLY HALFWAY THROUGH THIS STILL HAS LIFE, UH, IF WE WERE FARTHER INTO THE SESSION AND THAT WE'RE IN THE SUSPENSE FILE, I WOULD SAY IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE, BUT WE DON'T KNOW NO YET.
I WANT TO POINT OUT SB TWO, UH, THIS MEASURE, UM, BASICALLY, UM, ELIMINATES QUALIFIED IMMUNITY FOR POLICE OFFICERS.
SO AGAIN, IT'S MORE OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE REALLY MAKING THE JOB DIFFICULT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS THAT USUALLY, UH, ACT, UH, WHEN THEY ACT IN A PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY AND SOMETHING HAPPENS.
THEY HAVE QUALIFIED IMMUNITY IN MOST CASES, UM, NOT IN ALL CASES, BUT THIS WOULD ELIMINATE THAT ENTIRELY.
UH, THIS, UH, WAS IN THE SUSPENSE FILE UP UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO.
UH, IT MOVED RAPIDLY OUT OF COMMITTEE AND WENT TO A THIRD READING IN THE SENATE.
SO IT WILL LIKELY PASS THE SENATE AND MOVE ON TO THE ASSEMBLY.
LASTLY, UH, WOULD BE SB FIVE, FIVE, SIX, UH, THIS WOULD REQUIRE, UH, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, US TO MAKE OUR LIGHT POLES, TRAFFIC SIGNALS, UTILITY POLES, ANY OTHER PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, AVAILABLE TO TELECOMMUNICATION PROVIDERS, PRIVATE SECTOR, TELECOMMUNICATION PROVIDERS, AND IT'S AMBIGUOUS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN ACTUALLY REQUIRE RENT FOR THAT.
IT WOULD JUST BASICALLY BE AS IT'S READING RIGHT NOW, THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO ALLOW SPACE ON THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE UTILITY POLES FOR THEM TO, UH, ATTACH ANTENNAS AND, AND THEIR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT, UM, HAS PASSED THE SENATE.
AND IT'S CURRENTLY IN THE ASSEMBLY.
UH, ALL OF THOSE THAT I HIGHLIGHTED, UM, ARE OPPOSED BY THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES.
UM, THEY ARE DOING THEIR, THEIR BEST THROUGH THEIR LOBBYING EFFORTS TO OPPOSE THESE, BUT THEY'RE NOT BEING VERY EFFECTIVE AS THEY HAVE BEEN IN YEARS PAST.
SO IN EACH OF THESE CASES, PARTICULARLY THE ONES THAT HAVE GONE INTO THE THIRD READING, I THINK IT WOULD BE WISE TO SUBMIT A LETTER OF OPPOSITION IF THAT'S THE COUNCIL'S DESIRE, WHAT CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN? AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ONES I SPOKE ABOUT OR ANY OF THE OTHERS THAT YOU SAW IN THE FOUR PAGES OF, OF BILLS THAT, THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.
UM, I THINK WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT WRITING LETTERS AS OPPOSITION.
ANY OBJECTION TO THAT? UM, YOU HAVE OUR, I'M SURE IT'S GONNA, UM, SHAKE THEM UP IN SACRAMENTO, BUT, UH, I, I I'M WILLING TO DO THAT.
SO MAYOR GOODMAN UNDERSTOOD AMERICA.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND AND VOTE ON THAT.
SEE IF, UM, OH, ON THE, ON THE LETTERS.
UH, YEAH, THEY COULD MAKE A MOTION TO, UH, LEAVE THE VINCENT'S DISCRETION TO WRITE THE APPROPRIATE LETTERS.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO RESET THE VOTE.
WE'RE READY FOR YOUR VOTE, PLEASE.
MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
ANDREW, I DO WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT SPEAKER CARDS FOR THIS ITEM.
I BELIEVE UNLESS I'VE FORGOTTEN SOMETHING, UH, THERE ARE NO GENERAL INFORMATION ITEMS ON TODAY'S AGENDA.
THERE ARE NO FIRST OR SECOND READINGS ON TODAY'S AGENDA, AND
[22. CLOSED SESSIONS:]
THAT BRINGS US TO CLOSE SESSION.OUR CITY ATTORNEY WILL RECITE THE TITLES AND LEAD US INTO CLOSED SESSION.
THERE ARE TWO ITEMS, UH, FOR THE CITY COUNCIL FOR CLOSED SESSION TODAY.
BOTH OF THEM ARE CONFERENCES WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
FIRST ONE IS FOR ANTICIPATED LITIGATION.
UM, THE DESCRIPTION IS SIGNIFICANT EXPOSURE LITIGATION, UM, BASED ON A CLAIM RECEIVED BY THE LEIA LAW FIRM ON BEHALF SARAH BARNUM, UH, CLAIMING DAMAGES FOR, UH, AND ALLEGING LOSSES SUFFERED FOLLOWING A TRIP AND FALL ON A SIDEWALK IN THE CITY.
THE SECOND ONE IS FOR A CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, EXISTING LITIGATION PURSUANT TO, UM, PARAGRAPH ONE OF SEVEN DIVISION D GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION FIVE, FOUR NINE FIVE 6.9 HUMMOCKY VS.
THE FIRST ONE ACTUALLY IS UNDER PARAGRAPH TWO OF SUBDIVISION D OF THAT SAME SECTION.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO GO TO CLOSED SESSION.
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO RESET THE, UH, IF YOU CAN PLEASE VOTE MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE RIGHT BACK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE BACK AND I WILL HAND IT OVER TO THE CT ATTORNEY, THE REPORT, THE HAPPENINGS OF CLOSEUP.
THANK YOU, MEREDITH ON THE FIRST ITEM, ITEM NUMBER 21 TO CLOSED SESSION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL
[01:30:01]
