AND BEFORE WE STARTED TODAY, I THINK IT ONLY FITTING THAT WE LOOK BACK ON SEPTEMBER 11TH AND WHAT HAPPENED WITH OUR COUNTRY AND HOW IT BROUGHT OUR COUNTRY TOGETHER IN MANY WAYS AND HOW IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST DEVASTATING ATTACKS ON OUR COUNTRY AND IN HISTORY.
I THINK IT'D BE ONLY FITTING TO TAKE JUST A BRIEF MOMENT OF SILENCE TO REMEMBER THE FALLEN AND REMEMBER OUR COUNTRY AND JOE.
[ PRESENTATIONS: Presentation: Certificate of Appreciation - Kathy Pillman Presentation: Waste Free San Diego - I Love a Clean San Diego Proclamation: National Preparedness Month ]
HAVE THREE PRESENTATIONS TODAY.THE FIRST IS A CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION FOR KATHY PILLOWMAN AND BECAUSE, UM, ONE OF OUR OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN THIS.
I WILL HAND THIS OVER TO MR GOBLE AT THIS TIME.
THIS IS A CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION PRESENTED TO KATHY PELLMAN, WHEREAS THE CITY OF EL CAHONE HEREBY RECOGNIZES AND APPLAUDS KATHY PELLMAN FOR HER COMMUNITY SUPPORT HER CIVIC PRIDE AND HER VAST EFFORTS TO KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS CLEAN.
AND WHEREAS THROUGH KATHY'S EFFORTS TO DATE, KATHY AND HER TEAM HAVE PICKED UP MORE THAN 5,300 POUNDS OF TRASH AND DEBRIS.
AND WHEREAS KATHY'S VISION AND HARD WORK HAS RESULTED IN BEAUTIFYING SOME OF THE CITY'S CITY'S BUSIEST AND MOST VISIBLE LOCATIONS, ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL NOW.
THEREFORE, BILL WELLS MAYOR FOR THE CITY OF EL CAHONE TOGETHER WITH THE CITY COUNCIL TO HEAR BY EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE TO KATHY PILLOWMAN AND ALL RESIDENTS THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED THEIR TIME AND EFFORTS TO BEAUTIFY OUR CITY SIGN THIS 11TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2018
SO A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, KATHY DECIDED TO ROUND UP THE COMMUNITY AND SAY, WE THINK WE CAN REALLY HAVE AN IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY FOR A LOT OF THE TRASH LEFT AROUND TOWN.
UM, IF SOME OF THE TEAM WHO KATHY HAS RECRUITED, IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND COME UP NOW, COME UP THIS WAY, UH, COME ON, TEAM MEMBERS UP, UP, UP, COME ON OVER THIS WAY.
IF YOU PARTICIPATED
UH, THERE HAVE BEEN BICYCLES, THERE HAVE BEEN SHOPPING CARTS.
UH, YOU CAN SEE BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES HERE, UH, THAT THESE FINE FOLKS TO MY LEFT AND KATHY TO MY RIGHT AND FEEL THAT THEY HAVE LOOK AT THE PERFORMED AFTERWARDS.
[00:05:01]
WHAT THEY HAVE CONTRIBUTED SO FAR.AND YES, EVEN ABANDONED PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, UH, WHICH ARE DANGEROUS JUST SITTING OUT THERE IN EUROPE.
AND SO A GREAT EFFORT BY ALL OF THESE PEOPLE, I'M GOING TO LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES IN JUST A MINUTE AFTER I ASKED KATHY.
SO KATHY, WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GO AHEAD AND DO THIS? UM, COMPLAINING ISN'T GOING TO GET ANYTHING DONE.
AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF TRASH AROUND EL CAHONE AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT DONE IS TO REPORT IT TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
BUT SOMETIMES THE RIGHT PEOPLE ARE BUSY.
SO I DECIDED TO FORM A GROUP SO THAT WE CAN HELP OUT AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
IT'S OVER $5,000 SAVINGS TO THE TAXPAYERS THAT PUBLIC WORKS DID NOT HAVE TO GO PICK UP THESE THINGS.
SO $5,000 SAVINGS TO THE TAX PAYERS FOR THIS VOLUNTEER, UH, EFFORTS SO FAR, VERY NOT DONE.
THE GROUP MEETS TWICE A WEEK, WEDNESDAYS AND SATURDAYS.
UH, IT'S JUST A FANTASTIC GROUP AND THEY CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS ON THE SCREEN.
IT'S JUST REMARKABLE WHAT THEIR GENEROSITY IS DOING FOR THE CITY OF ALCOHOL.
AND SO I'M GOING TO PASS THE MIC DOWN AND LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES TO, YOU KNOW, WHO'S HELPING KEEP YOUR COMMUNITY CLEAN.
AND IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO COME OUT AND JOIN US, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU.
ED GOSS, NATHAN CORNET, JOHN MCCALL, RUTH THORNTON, JERRY.
AND, UH, WE HAVE A FACEBOOK GROUP.
IF I COULD PROMOTE THAT REAL QUICK.
IT'S CALLED

YOU CAN GET UPDATES OF WINDOW CLEANUPS ARE GOING TO BE, SO LET'S ACKNOWLEDGE THIS GREAT EFFORT BY THIS GREAT GROUP.
JUST REMEMBER TO WATCH YOURSELF ON TELEVISION TOMORROW NIGHT AT SEVEN O'CLOCK ON CHANNEL 24.
NOW WE HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM, I LOVE A CLEAN SAN DIEGO AND I'D LIKE TO INVITE NATALIE KING.
ANYWAY, TALIA IS HERE AND SHE'S, I'M GOING TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS AND HER, YOU'VE GOT A POWER POINT PRESENTATION FOR US.
POSSIBLE TO USE THE HANDHELD MIC.
UM, AND THANK YOU MR MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR HAVING ME TODAY.
I AM THE RECYCLING PROGRAMS ASSISTANT WITH, I LOVE A CLEAN SAN DIEGO.
UM, LET'S SEE, HOW DO I GET THIS TO GO? OH, COOL.
SO, UM, LIKE I SAID, I WORK WITH, I LOVE A CLEAN SAN DIEGO.
WE'RE AN ENVIRONMENTAL NONPROFIT.
UM, EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF US, I'M SURE HERE AS APPROVED BY, UH, KATHY AND HER GROUP.
EVERYBODY LOVES A CLEAN SAN DIEGO.
SO, UM, I'M HERE TO TALK TODAY A BIT JUST ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS AND IN PARTICULAR ONE THAT I WILL HIGHLIGHT IN THE END, BUT QUICK OVERVIEW OF US.
WE'VE BEEN AROUND FOR 64 YEARS AND OUR GOAL IS TO LEAD AND INSPIRE OUR COMMUNITY TO BECOME MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY EMPOWERED AND ENGAGED.
WE DO THIS THROUGH EXAMPLE, OUTREACH AND LOCAL INVOLVEMENT.
SO LIKE I SAID, WE'VE BEEN AROUND FOR ABOUT 60 YEARS.
WE ORIGINALLY STARTED OUT AS A POLITICAL COMMITTEE, THE WAR ON LITTER, BUT THEN THEY FLIPPED IT MANY YEARS AGO AND IT BECAME NOT WAR ON, BUT WE LOVE.
UM, JUST LAST YEAR WE ENGAGED 31,000 PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTY.
WE PICKED UP 398,000 POUNDS OF TRASH IN THOSE 12 MONTHS.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE MANY OTHER PROGRAMS LIKE THE STORM DRAIN STENCILING.
SO WE DID, UM, ABOUT 800 STORM DRAINS AND THEN WE HANDLED 1000 OR 12,000 RECYCLING INQUIRIES AS THE RECYCLING HOTLINE FOR THE COUNTY.
SO, UH, COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, WE HAVE THE ADOPTIVE EACH OR CANYON, WHICH IS WHERE A GROUP OR FAMILY OR WHOEVER CAN GO ADOPT A BEACH, DO THEIR OWN CLEANUPS.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE MANY COUNTYWIDE CLEANUPS.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE BIGGEST COUNTY WIDE CLEANUP OF
[00:10:01]
THE YEAR COMING UP NEXT SEPTEMBER, OR SORRY, NEXT SATURDAY.IT'S CALLED COASTAL CLEANUP DAY.
AND IF ANYBODY'S FREE AND WANTS TO JOIN, YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY WELCOME TO, UH, THERE'S OVER A HUNDRED SITES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY THAT WILL BE PARTICIPATING.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN.
THERE'S ACTUALLY SOME FLYERS ON THAT DESK OUT IN THAT MAIN AREA.
SO IF YOU GET A CHANCE AFTER, PLEASE PICK ONE UP.
UH, WE ALSO HAVE OUR EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WHO DOES PRESENTATIONS FROM K THROUGH NINE.
WE ALSO DO LIKE ZERO WASTE WORKSHOPS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
AND IN PARTICULAR I WORK WITH OUR RECYCLING PROGRAMS. AS I MENTIONED, WE ARE THE RECYCLING HOTLINE FOR THE COUNTY.
SO IF YOU'RE EVER UNSURE WHERE TO RECYCLE, REPAIR, OR DONATE ANYTHING AND YOU SAY CALL EDCO AND YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR PAINT, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY REFER YOU TO ME AND I'D BE THE ONE TO ANSWER THE PHONE.
SO, UM, SO ALTHOUGH RECYCLING SEEMS TO BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DATABASE, LIKE I MENTIONED, WE ALSO HAVE REPAIR AND DONATION OPTIONS.
WE'VE ALSO STARTED ADDING STUFF LIKE ZERO WASTE WORKSHOPS, COMPOSTING WORKSHOPS, ENERGY EFFICIENCY, REBATES.
UM, A BUNCH OF REALLY COOL RESOURCES AS WELL AS JUST RESOURCES YOU CAN READ THROUGH LIKE HOW TO STOP JUNK MAIL OR WHERE DO I TAKE CERTAIN THINGS.
SO, UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE THIS PROGRAM AND IN PARTICULAR GIVE YOU A LITTLE DEMO.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, SEE, HERE'S SOME OF THE COMMONLY SEARCHED ITEMS. PEOPLE USUALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TAKE THEIR PAIN OR THEIR OR OIL OR THE REFRIGERATORS WHEN THEY'RE DONE WITH THEM.
AND THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE TO HELP YOU WITH.
SO, UM, OF COURSE WE ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE INVOLVEMENT AND I WILL ALWAYS ENCOURAGE A SAME WITH MY TEAM THAT, YOU KNOW, LIKE HAPPY AND HER GROUP THAT YOU GET INVOLVED.
THAT WAS REALLY COOL TO HEAR ABOUT RIGHT BEFORE I WENT UP, SO THANK YOU.
UM, BUT YEAH, VOLUNTEER AT OUR EVENTS.
LIKE I SAID, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THIS BIG ONE NEXT SATURDAY, BUT WE'RE USUALLY SOMEWHERE IN THE COUNTY, UH, TWO OR THREE TIMES A MONTH PICKING UP TRASH.
SO IT'S A LOT OF FUN TO BE INVOLVED, ESPECIALLY FOR THE REALLY BIG ONES.
WHEN YOU GET TO HELP, SAY I HELPED PICK UP OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS OF TRASH IN A DAY.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS LATER ON, YOU'RE FREE TO CONTACT ME.
THIS IS MY WORK EMAIL AND MY PHONE NUMBER.
AND NOW I'M JUST GONNA DO A QUICK DEMO ON THE ACTUAL DATABASE SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO FIRST OF ALL, DOES ANYBODY HAVE AN OBJECT OFF THE TOP OF THEIR HEAD THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TAKE? YES.
SO IF YOU GO TO THIS WEBSITE CALLED WASTE FREE S D DOT.
YOU WOULD GO TO OOPS, TYPE IN AN ITEM.
SO COMPUTER, IS IT A LAPTOP OR A DESKTOP? OKAY, SO WE'LL TYPE IN LAPTOP.
A GOOD TIP IS IF IT DOESN'T POPULATE, MEANING YOU DON'T SEE THE ANSWER POP UP.
WE DON'T HAVE IT IN THE SYSTEM, BUT WE DO HAVE A CONTACT US BUTTON OVER HERE WHERE YOU ARE WELCOME TO ACTUALLY CALL US.
AND SO FOR SOME OF THE TRICKIER STUFF WHERE THERE'S LIKE ONLY ONE ANSWER, WE MIGHT NOT HAVE IT IN HERE, BUT WE MIGHT KNOW ON THE BACKEND.
AND THEN WHAT'S YOUR ZIP CODE? ALRIGHT, NINE 2019 YEAH.
IS THAT IN THE CITY OR THE UNINCORPORATED PART? AND FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, UNINCORPORATED MEANS, IT JUST MEANS YOU'RE OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS.
I WANT TO SAY THAT'S COUNTY, RIGHT? UNINCORPORATED.
A LOT OF LIKE, PEOPLE DO LIKE EASY WAYS.
SO WE, SO UM, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY I'M ACTUALLY IN THE OFFICE WORKING ON THIS, FINDING NEW PLACES THAT RECYCLE, TAKING OFF AND ADDING EVENTS THAT DO OR DON'T.
SO FOR YOUR LAPTOP, IS IT SOMETHING THAT'S JUST DONE WITH IT'S LIFE? YOU NEED A RECYCLE OR DID YOU GET A NEW ONE? MAYBE YOU WANT TO DONATE IT, JUST DONE WITH IT'S LIFE.
OKAY, SO THERE'S THESE HANDY FILTERS UP HERE, SO WE ALWAYS TRY TO, AT FIRST IT'LL SHOW ALL OF THEM.
THE HAZARDOUS WASTE CENTERS ARE USUALLY AT THE TOP, BUT IF WE GO TO RECYCLE, IT'LL SHOW ALL THE OPTIONS.
WE TRY TO ADD STUFF LIKE WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE PICKUP SERVICES, WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE A FREE RECYCLING PROGRAM WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PAY.
OF COURSE, WE ALWAYS ENCOURAGE THAT YOU LOOK AT THE ACTUAL WEBSITE TO GET MORE DETAILS AND CONTACT THE CENTER ITSELF FOR MORE INFORMATION.
BUT A LOT OF, WE TRY TO KEEP IT AS UPDATE AS WE CAN.
SO FOR INSTANCE, A BROKEN COMPUTER, ONE OF MY FAVORITES TO RECOMMEND IS THIS GROUP COMPUTERS TO SAN DIEGO KIDS WHERE THEY DO E-WASTE AND THEY WILL LIKE REFURBISH COMPUTERS AND GIVE THEM OUT TO PEOPLE AT VERY LOW COST, WHICH IS AWESOME.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE NOT SURE WHERE TO TAKE RIGHT NOW? TREE TREE CLIPPINGS.
SO FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND ARE YOU ALSO IN THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA? YOUR CITY.
[00:15:01]
SO IT LOOKS LIKE IF YOU DON'T HAVE YARD WASTE SPECIFICALLY, YOU COULD GO TO ONE OF THESE LOCATIONS THAT ARE LISTED HERE.UM, THERE'S ALSO THIS ONE HERE, THE YARD WASTE COLLECTION THAT YOU COULD CLICK ON AND CONTACT DIRECTLY YOUR CITY AND SEE IF THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY HAD AVAILABLE TO YOU AS AN OPTION TO GET AT YOUR HOME.
UM, AND THEN BEFORE I GO, JUST ONE LAST THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IS THIS RESOURCES TAB.
UM, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ALWAYS ADDING NEW STUFF TO.
THIS IS IN RESOURCE THAT I JUST ADDED THIS WEEK, WHERE TO BUY BULK IN SAN DIEGO.
SO WHETHER IT'S FOOD, COSMETICS, PET FOOD, EVEN THAT'S A REALLY COOL RESOURCE AND THERE'S ALL SORTS OF OTHER STUFF LIKE WHAT COMPOST BIN IS BEST FOR ME AND JUST ALL SORTS OF REALLY COOL STUFF.
SO, UM, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A CHANCE, TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
I'VE GOT SOME MAGNETS I'M GOING TO HAND OUT TO PEOPLE AND THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY.
UH, A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST THROW THEIR FLASHLIGHT BATTERIES IN THE TRASH BATTERIES.
I KNOW OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD THAT SOME OF THE COUNTY LIBRARIES TAKE THEM.
OF COURSE THE EL CAHONE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITY AS WELL.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO URGE EVERYBODY TO NOT THROW THEIR FLASHLIGHT BATTERIES INTO THE RECYCLING OR THE TRASH IS ACTUALLY THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF FIRES IN THOSE FACILITIES.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY REALLY GET HURT FROM THE FIRES CAUSE FROM YOUR, JUST YOUR HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES ENDING UP IN THE TRASH AND YOU CAN GIVE YOUR ITEMS TO THE CITY CLERK AND SHE'LL PASS THEM OUT TO US.
ALL RIGHT, NEXT WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION FROM NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH AND I'D LIKE TO INVITE CHIEF CHASTEN AND ANY MECKLER HEARTLAND'S EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COORDINATOR AND THEY HAVE A POWERPOINT FOR US.
THIS IS A PROCLAMATION FOR A NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH FOR SEPTEMBER, 2018 WHEREAS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY RESIDENT OF THE CITY OF EL CAHONE TO PREPARE THEIR HOMES, BUSINESSES, AND COMMUNITIES FOR ANY TYPE OF EMERGENCY, INCLUDING NATURAL DISASTERS AND POTENTIAL TERRORIST ATTACKS.
THE LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE CAN BE GREATLY REDUCED IF APPROPRIATE.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS MEASURES ARE TAKEN BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER A MAJOR EMERGENCY AND WHEREAS EL CAHONE RESIDENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EFFECTS OF VARIOUS DISASTERS IN THE PAST, INCLUDING DEVASTATING WILD LAND FIRES, SEVERE STORMS AND DROUGHT AS AN EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE RESULTING IN LOSS OF LIFE AND DAMAGES COSTING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IS EXPERIENCING PROLONGED DROUGHT AND EXTREME FIRE THAT HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF DISASTER PREPAREDNESS BOTH AT THE INDIVIDUAL AND INSTITUTIONAL LEVELS.
AND WHEREAS THE AFTERMATH OF 2003 2007 AND 2014 FIRESTORMS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY DEMONSTRATED THE NECESSITY FOR CAREFUL AND THOROUGH EMERGENCY PLANNING AND PREPAREDNESS AMONG INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES, AND AGENCIES LOCALLY.
AND WHEREAS ALL RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF EL CAHONE ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN CITIZEN PREPAREDNESS ACTIVITIES AND ASKED TO REVIEW THE READY CAMPAIGNS WEBSITE@WWWDOTREADYDOTGOVORONTHEHEARTLANDFIREWEBSITEATHEARTLANDFIRE.ORG AND BECOME MORE PREPARED.
THEREFORE, BILL WELLS MAYOR FOR THE CITY OF EL CAHONE TOGETHER WITH THE CITY COUNCIL TO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, 2018 TO BE NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH IN THE CITY OF EL CAHONE.
WE URGE ALL RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN AND TO WORK TOGETHER TOWARD CREATING A MORE PREPARED SOCIETY SIGN THIS 11TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2018 THANK YOU MONICA CHIEF, MR MAYOR, HONORABLE COUNCIL CITY STAFF.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS PROCLAMATION.
IT'S ALTOGETHER FITTING ON THIS DATE IN AMERICAN HISTORY TO MAKE THIS A PREPAREDNESS MONTH.
AND I THINK IT'S VERY UNDERSTANDABLE THAT WE THINK OF NATIONAL EMERGENCIES ON A DAY LIKE TODAY, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO STEP BACK AND REALIZE THAT SOMETHING AS SEEMINGLY SMALL AS A HOUSE FIRE OR A BUSINESS FIRE CAN BE A DISASTER FOR OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
SO WITH THAT, I'M VERY EXCITED TO INVITE, UH, HEARTLAND FIRE AND RESCUES, EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COORDINATOR, ANDY MCKELLER.
HE'S GOING TO GIVE US A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON BEING DISASTER PREPARED.
MR MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY STAFF.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE TIME FOR THIS PRESENTATION.
UM, AS CHIEF CHASEN SAID, WE ALWAYS THINK OF THE BIGGER PICTURE THINGS HAPPENING.
UH, WE SAW IT NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, EVERYBODY'S WATCHING A HURRICANE FLORENCE HEADING FOR THE EAST COAST AND WE'RE ALL THINKING OF THOSE THINGS AND THEY ARE TRULY DISASTERS, BUT THERE'S LOCALIZED STUFF, UH, SINGLE FAMILY FIRES, JUST AS DEVASTATING TO THAT FAMILY
[00:20:01]
AS A LARGE SCALE DISASTER IS, UH, UH, ON A WIDER SCOPE.SO HOW CAN YOU BE PREPARED? THERE'S KIND OF FIVE, FOUR THINGS WE WANT TO FOCUS ON THIS MONTH.
UH, MAKE AND PRACTICE A DISASTER PLAN, LEARN A LIFESAVING SKILL OF SOME SORT.
UH, CHECK YOUR INSURANCE COVERAGE, IS IT UP TO DATE AND THEN SAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY.
PUCK, SQUIRREL SOME AWAY FOR THAT EMERGENCY WHEN IT COMES UP.
UM, ARE THE TOP THREE RISKS IN OUR AREA? OF COURSE, FIRE.
WE ALL KNEW THAT BELIEVE IT OR NOT, FLOODING IS IN THERE AS WELL AND EARTHQUAKES OF COURSE ARE AN EVER PRESENT DANGER.
UM, WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP MITIGATE THIS STUFF? THESE THINGS FROM HAPPENING.
CREATE A DEFENSIBLE SPACE AROUND YOUR HOME, INSTALL SMOKE AND CARBON DETECTORS INSIDE YOUR HOME.
UM, ATTACH HEAVY OBJECTS TO THE WALL, LIKE BOOKCASES, WATER HEATERS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
STUFF WE'VE ALL HEARD BEFORE BUT IT NEVER HURTS TO HEAR IT AGAIN.
HAVE AN EVACUATION PLAN FOR YOUR HOME WITH TWO WAYS OUT, NOT JUST ONE.
HAVE TO A, HAVE A MEETING PLACE OUTSIDE THE HOME FOR EVERYONE TO GATHER A PRIMARY AND A SECONDARY AND A COMMUNICATIONS PLAN OF SOME SORT.
IF WE GET SEPARATED, HOW ARE WE GOING TO TALK TO EACH OTHER? HAVE A FOCAL POINT FOR CONTACT OUTSIDE OF THE AREA, MAYBE A RELATIVE OR A FRIEND IN ANOTHER COUNTY OR ANOTHER STATE THAT YOU CAN CALL ON WHERE HE CAN CHECK IN THERE.
THAT'S A VERY SIMPLE WAY TO DO IT.
ANOTHER WAY TO DO THAT IS TO REGISTER YOUR CELL PHONE WITH ALERT SAN DIEGO.
YOU CAN GO ON THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES WEBSITE AND REGISTER YOUR CELL PHONE THERE AND YOU'LL GET AN ALERT WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS IN YOUR AREA, INCLUDING YOUR PLAN.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE INCLUDE PETS IN YOUR PLAN, A FUEL IN YOUR CAR.
WE ALWAYS SAY THIS IS HA, HAVE HALF A TANK.
THEY RUN IT RIGHT DOWN TO THE EMPTY, BUT HAVE HALF A TANK, UH, AT ALL TIMES.
IF YOU GOT TO GET OUTTA HERE IN A BIG HURRY, YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO STOP FOR GAS ON THE WAY THE UTILITY MEANS IN YOUR HOME.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE? YOU KNOW ARE THE ELECTRICAL SWITCHES, THE MAIN SWITCH AND THE GAS? YOU KNOW HOW TO SHUT IT OFF ONCE YOU SHUT IT OFF, DON'T TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN.
LET A PROFESSIONAL DO THAT AND THEN PRACTICE YOUR PLAN.
YOU PLAY THE WAY YOU PRACTICE.
IT FEELS KIND OF SILLY AT FIRST, BUT GO AHEAD AND PRACTICE THAT DISASTER SUPPLY KIT.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS MANY, MANY TIMES, AND I WON'T GO THROUGH THE WHOLE LIST, BUT OBVIOUSLY FOOD AND WATER, WATER BEING THE PRIMARY.
MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH WATER FOR EVERYBODY THAT'S A GALLON OF WATER PER PERSON PER DAY, INCLUDING YOUR PETS.
KNOW HOW TO USE THAT FIRST AID KIT.
WHAT'S INSIDE IT? WHAT'S IT FOR AND HOW DO I ACTUALLY APPLY THE STUFF INSIDE THE KIT? UM, ANY MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS, EVACUATION, EVACUATIONS, THOSE AS BIG A BIG THING AT THE, AT THE LAST MOMENT PEOPLE USUALLY GRAB STUFF AND GO, WELL WHAT THINGS DO YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT? YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT OR THINK ABOUT PEOPLE AND PETS, PAPERS, IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS, PRESCRIPTIONS.
DO YOU HAVE THEM WITH YOU? DO YOU NEED MORE? DID YOU FORGET THIS? WHAT DO YOU NEED TO TAKE WITH YOU? PICTURES, THEY'RE REPLACEABLE ITEMS AND PERSONAL COMPUTERS CAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE STORE IMPORTANT DOCUMENTATION ON THAT PERSONAL COMPUTER.
SO BE SURE YOU GRAB THAT ON THE WAY OUT THE DOOR.
LIFESAVING SKILLS, FIRST AID, CPR CLASS, TAKE ONE OF THOSE.
IT DOESN'T JUST APPLY TO BIG DISASTERS.
IT CAN APPLY TO EVERYDAY LIFE.
IT CAN COME IN HANDY IN THE SUPERMARKET OR THE RESTAURANT OR GET IN A BIG DISASTER.
UH, KNOW HOW TO SHUT OFF YOUR GAS, ELECTRICITY.
UH, FIND OUT HOW TO MITIGATE THE DAMAGE BEFORE OR AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT.
THERE'S MORE INFORMATION ON THE HEARTLAND WEBSITE.
UM, LEARN HOW TO PREVENT THOSE ELECTRICAL FLIERS.
DON'T USE FRAYED CORDS AND MAKE SURE THAT, UH, SOCKETS ARE PLUGGED IN PROPERLY.
UM, BECOME A COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM MEMBER, OUR CERT TEAM IS GROWING.
I'M HAPPY TO SAY, AND WE CAN TEACH YOU A LOT OF THESE SKILLS IN THAT TRAINING.
FINANCIAL PREPAREDNESS, THIS DOESN'T GET TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH.
UM, GET YOUR INSURANCE EVALUATED EVERY YEAR.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU'VE HAD YOUR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE LOOKED AT.
MAKE SURE IT'S UP TO DATE AND THAT IT COVERS, UH, YOUR HOME FOR THE PROPER AMOUNTS, INVENTORY OR POSSESSIONS.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A VISUAL INVENTORY OF WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HOME.
IS THAT PART OF YOUR INSURANCE POLICY? A STORE DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY.
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, BUT I'M ON A COMPUTER OR PUT THEM ON A LITTLE FLASH DRIVE YOU CAN PUT IN YOUR POCKET AND GET OUT THE DOOR WITH AND HAVE SOME EMERGENCY CASH ON HAND IN SMALL DENOMINATIONS.
NOT A LOT, BUT I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN.
IF YOU NEED A GALLON OF WATER AND YOU'VE GOT $20, YOU JUST BOUGHT YOURSELF A $20 GALLON OF WATER.
SO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT SMALLER DENOMINATIONS WITH YOU.
SAN DIEGO EMERGENCY IS A GREAT
[00:25:01]
LOCALIZED APP FOR YOUR SMARTPHONE.UH, AND OF COURSE THE RED CROSS.
THEY HAVE APPS THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO CERTAIN TYPES OF DISASTERS.
ALL GOOD INFORMATION, ALL FREE.
UM, SOCIAL MEDIA OF COURSE, TWITTER, FACEBOOK, UH, GOOD OLD FASHION RADIO, NOTHING.
IF EVERYTHING ELSE FAILS, A COGO WILL KEEP GOING FOR SOME.
SOMEHOW THEY DO THAT AS SEEMINGLY.
UM, THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO GET INFORMATION AS WELL.
AND THAT IS THE OFFICIAL STATION FOR, UH, EMERGENCY INFORMATION IN THE COUNTY.
READY.ORG, UH, FEMA.GOV SD COUNTY EMERGENCY.
AND THEN HEARTLAND FIRE.ORG ARE ALL GOOD SOURCES OF INFORMATION ON PREPAREDNESS.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
SO FOR A VERY INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION.
ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT BEFORE YOU GO, SIR? I THINK WE'RE GOOD.
GIVE OUR OUR BEST TO ALL THE FOLKS AT HEARTLAND.
DO YOU HAVE ANY AGENDA CHANGES, MR MAYOR? UH, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 18, UM, IS BEING PULLED FROM THE AGENDA EAST COUNTY TOWING AND RECOVERY IS WITHDRAWN THEIR APPEAL.
SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR THAT AGENDA ITEM.
UM, ALSO, DEPENDING ON HOW LONG A PUBLIC COMMENT GOES, THERE MAY BE A NEED TO MOVE ONE OF THE CLOSED SESSION ITEMS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AGENDA TO ACCOMMODATE LEGAL COUNSEL.
WILL YOU JUST KIND OF KEEP ME INFORMED IN THAT IF THERE'S A NEED, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.
IF I CAN MAKE ONE ANNOUNCEMENT, WE HAVE A OF FOLKS IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP, AS WE TALKED ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY.
UM, EXITS TO THE BUILDING FREE AND CLEAR.
SO IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE NEAR THE BACK, IF YOU JUST BE COGNIZANT OF THAT.
[ AGENDA CHANGES:]
AGENDA CHANGES? ALL RIGHT.UM, I THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE AN EMOTION THEN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE, THAT NUMBER 18 WAS BEING PULLED.
I MIGHT TO MAKE A MOTION TO DO SO.
WE'RE READY FOR YOUR VOTE NOW OR AGAIN, PLEASE VOTE.
THIS, UH, THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING.
IF I CAN PLEASE TAKE A VERBAL VOTE FROM ALL OF YOU.
ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

FUNNY MAGAZINE IS, YOU KNOW, THE SOURCE OF EAST COUNTY NEWS AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND UH, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE OUR FULL COVERAGE AND EVERYBODY BEING ABLE TO BE CLEARLY SEEN WHO'S GOING TO BE SPEAKING TODAY.
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO? MR. CHRISTIAN WANTED TO BE RIGHT THERE AS I HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF.
MR. MITCHELL, DO YOU HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT?
SO IF THE COUNCIL WERE TO DIRECT, WE COULD MODIFY THE MUNICIPAL CODE, BUT OKAY.
BUT THAT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN A AGENDIZED ITEM.
IT ACTUALLY REQUIRES YOUR CONSENT.
SO THE CODE ALLOWS YOU TO GIVE CONSENT TO ANYBODY TO COME BEFORE YOU INSIDE THIS AREA.
SO, WELL, I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
ANY, ANYBODY OBJECT TO THE CONCEPT? UM, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.
DOES ANYBODY OBJECT? APPARENTLY NO OBJECTIONS.
SO THANK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR MAYOR BEN.
UH, IN THE SPIRIT OF STICKING TO THE POLICY AND PROCEDURE, THEN I GUESS MORGAN, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, UH, SHOULD THE SPEAKERS ADDRESS THE MAYOR AND THEN ALSO STATE THEIR ADDRESS OF WHERE THEY RESIDE AS IT STATES IN THE POLICY AND PROCEDURE, THE PROTOCOL IS TO AT LEAST, UM, DIRECT YOUR
[00:40:01]
COMMENTS TO THE MAYOR AS OPPOSED TO THE PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE, IN THE AUDIENCE.SO THE SPEAKERS COULD DIRECT YOUR COMMENTS STRAIGHT TO THE MAYOR, UH, AND THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, AS FOR STATING YOUR ADDRESS, WE CANNOT ENFORCE THAT BECAUSE OF, UH, PRIVACY CONCERNS.
SO WE DON'T HAVE TO, THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE BROWN ACT TO STATE WHERE THEIR ADDRESS, WHERE THEY LIVE.
AND JUST TO KEEP THE, TO THE DECORUM, IF YOU COULD ADDRESS YOUR COMMENTS TO ME AND NOT TURN YOUR BACK ON THEM, THE COUNSELING, SPEAK TO THE, TO THE CROWD, I'D APPRECIATE THAT.
OR PLEASE DON'T, UH, ADDRESS THE COUNCIL MEMBERS DRAFT THAT YOU CAN DRIVE A DIRECT MANSON.
OH, A LITTLE BIT FORMAL, BUT A GOOD MANNERS AND POLICY KEEPS EVERYTHING POLITE AND MOVING FORWARD.
UH, I'M GOING TO JUST TAKE A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME PLEASE.
THESE, CAN YOU PASS THIS OUT? THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE PROPERTY AT 1201 BROADWAY, WHICH IS ON THE SOUTH EAST CORNER OF BROADWAY AND ORO TWO BLOCKS WEST OF SECOND STREET.
MY OFFICE IS ON THE SOUTH EAST CORNER, SO WE ARE, WHERE'S THE SIDE BY SIDE? THIS PROPERTY A A NUMBER OF YEARS, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WAS, OH, IT HAS BEEN VACANT FOR FIVE YEARS AND THE HOMELESS BEEN LIVING THERE AND PEOPLE COME IN, THERE'S NO ELECTRICITY, THERE'S NO RUNNING WATER, THERE'S NO TOILETS.
AND A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THERE WAS AT LEAST 15 PEOPLE THAT WALKED OUT OF THERE IN THE MORNING.
AND IT WAS, I WOULD GO IN THERE DURING THE DAY AND FIND A, WHAT DO THEY CALL IT, STUFF FOR SHOOTING UP.
AND THIS COUNCIL, UH, I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU FORCE THE OWNER TO PUT A SECURITY GATE AROUND IT AND KEEP PEOPLE OUT.
CAME BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY UNTIL JULY.
THIS LAST JULY, SOMEBODY I CAN SEE THE TIRE MARKS IN THE SIDEWALK, MUST'VE BEEN DOING A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR AND SLAMMED INTO THE SECURITY FENCE, HAD JUST RIPPED IT OUT.
AND NOW YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES, YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THAT BUILDING AGAIN.
UH, I COME INTO WORK EARLY IN THE MORNING AND THERE ARE PEOPLE SLEEPING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IT'S, I, YOU KNOW, I CAN CALL THE E THE PD, UH, CODE ENFORCEMENT, WHICH WE'VE DONE MANY, MANY TIMES.
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE, IT GETS TIRING AND I FEEL BADLY TAKING UP THEIR TIME FOR THIS LITTLE ISSUE THAT CONCERNS ME AND THE OTHER MERCHANTS IN THE AREA.
MY OFFICE IS, IT LOOKS PRETTY, I'M JUST GLAD THEY DIDN'T HIT MY BUILDING, BUT, UH, I LIKE VERY MUCH IF YOU GUYS COULD DO THE SAME THING AND PUT PRESSURE ON THE OWNER AND UH, GET THEM TO REPLACE THAT, THAT, UH, THAT FENCE, GET IT BACK UP AGAIN.
WE'VE CALLED HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HE IGNORES US.
I COULD SEE WHY, BUT I NEED YOUR HELP.
ANY QUESTIONS? COUNSEL? ANY QUESTIONS? BEN? I REMEMBER YOU REMINDED ME EARLIER TODAY, I TALKED TO YOUR WIFE ON THE PHONE ABOUT THIS AND I THINK I TALKED TO THE, TO THE PROPERTY OWNER OF JASON.
HE'S THE SAME GUY WHO WAS A DOCTOR, CORRECT? CORRECT.
I THINK I STILL HAVE HIS NUMBER.
UH, WE CAN BE HAPPY TO GIVE IT TO YOU IF YOU'D LIKE.
I'D BE HAPPY TO GIVE HIM A CALL.
YOU SAID THIS, THIS DAMAGE OCCURRED IN, UH, IN JULY.
IT WAS ON A WEEKEND CAUSE I CAME INTO WORK ON MONDAY.
IT WAS PRETTY BAD AND IT WAS STILL, IT HASN'T BEEN, IT HASN'T CHANGED SINCE JULY.
AND, AND THERE ARE NO SECURITY OR SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS THERE TO, TO UH, NO, THERE ARE NOT.
THEY'RE JUST SKID MARKS ON THE SIDE, CROSS THE SIDEWALK AND ACROSS THE YARD.
AND NOW THERE'S GRAFFITI AND TRASH AND FURNITURE AND, AH, YEAH, I MEAN IF YOU DON'T GET ANYWHERE, YOU CAN FORWARD THE IN CONTACT INFORMATION.
I MIGHT STILL HAVE IT, BUT IF YOU DON'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE, LET ME KNOW.
I BELIEVE YOU RAMRODDED THIS THING LAST TIME AND PLEASE HELP US AGAIN.
IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO, UH, STAFF AND, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THIS OWNER GETS THAT FENCE BACK UP AGAIN? UH, WE CAN PUT A SAFE AND SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS ON THERE THAT ARE NOT BEING MET AND UH, START A PROCESS OF FINDING HIM AND, UM, CIVIL PENALTIES AND ALL THAT.
WE'LL TAKE CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTION ON IT IF THEY ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THEIR PROPERTY IN A, IN A WAY THAT THAT ISN'T A NUISANCE, WHICH IS HAS BECOME, SO WE'LL HANDLE THAT.
OH, HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE? WELL, UM, IF WE PROVIDE NOTICE, THEY ARE GIVEN A DUE PROCESS OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT IT, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE IT HOPEFULLY FIXED WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS.
[00:45:01]
FASTER.IF WE CAN, I WILL SEND THAT INFORMATION OVER TO YOU AGAIN.
ALL YOU ALL APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
UH, MY NAME IS TERMIN BRADLEY AND WHEN I GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN MY PARENTS' BASEMENT.
UH, I HAVE A FEW WORDS I LIKE TO SAY TO BEN.
FIRST OFF, FAN, I'M A BIG FAN OF YOUR ACT.
IT TOOK ME SOME TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT A BIG ROLE YOU SERVE FOR THE CITY OF EL CAHONE.
IT WAS CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING THAT YOU HAD NO INTENTIONS OF BEING THE HERO.
I MEAN WHAT KIND OF HERO USES A BEAUTY PAGEANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF VULNERABLE YOUNG GIRLS? SO I FIGURED YOU WERE THE VILLAIN.
IT KIND OF MAKES SENSE BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN CONVICTED OF CRIMINAL FRAUD.
IN FACT, YOU ADMITTED IT IN A BRIEF STINT IN JAIL, EVEN HAVE THE TACKY JAMES BOND VILLAIN HOME DECOR, BUT SOMETHING DIDN'T ADD UP.
YOU'RE EVIL ENOUGH, BUT CLEARLY SHOWN COMPETENT TO BE A FIRST-CLASS, A VILLAIN.
YOU'RE GETTING SUED CONSTANTLY AND YOU KEEP LOSING IN COURT.
THEN IT DAWNED ON ME ONLY IN NARCISSISTIC SOCIOPATH, WHICH I HEARD WAS AN ORIGINAL LINE OF DIALOGUE ISN'T BECAUSE SEVERAL OTHERS LAST MEETING SAID THE SAME THING WOULD ALLOW HIMSELF TO SUFFER A CONSTANT STREAM OF ABUSE AND REVULSION.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME IN PRISON.
MAY BUB IS GOING TO HAVE A GREAT TIME.
IN FACT, HE'S ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR THE LUBE OF THE MONTH CLUB.
AND AS BUBBA'S SWEAT SPLASHES ONTO YOUR BACK, REMEMBER YOU TRIED TO DO THE SAME THING TO THE CITIZENS OF EL CAHONE THAT BOB IS DOING TO YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF.
I'M HERE BECAUSE I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN IN MY HEART AND I HOPE THAT ALL THESE YOUNG PEOPLE LEARNING WILL LEARN SOMETHING.
FIRST, WHEN MY KIDS WERE LITTLE, I HAD TO GET WELFARE.
OH MY GOD, THIS PEOPLE IS GIVING ME ALL THIS MONEY.
THEY DON'T WANT NOTHING, BE NOTHING.
AND I FELT LIKE THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
SO WHAT I DID WHILE I WAS GETTING THAT MONEY, I WOULD GET UP IN THE MORNING, DRESS MY KIDS WITH CLOTHES, GET ALL DRESSED UP AND GO TO THE SCHOOL, WHICH IT DOESN'T EXIST.
VALENTINE AND I WILL SAY HI TO THE PRINCIPAL AND THAT PUT MY KIDS IN CLASS AND I WOULD GO TO THE BACKROOM WITH ALL THE TEACHERS DID THEIR THING.
HEY SAM CHANG,
SO I TOLD EVERYBODY THAT I WORK AT SCHOOL CAUSE I WENT EVERY TIME THE KIDS WENT TO SCHOOL.
AND TO ME THAT IS SELF RESPECT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT AND SAY IT OR BE SMOKING OR WHATEVER.
SO I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT SELF-RESPECT IN MY DAYS THAT I DIDN'T HAVE NO MONEY.
SO I'M HERE TO TALK TO SOMEBODY THAT I'VE BEEN TALKING TO, BUT I RAN OUT OF THINGS.
THE ONE THING THAT I KNOW THAT HIM AND HIS WIFE NEED TO LEARN TO GET AHEAD IN THIS WORLD IS SELF RESPECT.
I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I CAN GET THE DEFINITION OVER THE PHONE IF I'M ALLOWED TO BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
SELF RESPECT IS WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY AT THAT SCHOOL, I WAS ON WELFARE IN YET THE PRINCIPAL CAME AND GRABBED ME FOR MY HOUSE AND TOOK ME TO THE SCRUB BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING A LUNCHEON, HEAVEN FORBID, AND MECH, SHE GO, POOR PEOPLE WOULD BE HONORED LIKE THAT.
SO I FELT SO GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
THEY DID A BIG LUNCHEON FOR ME AND EVERYTHING, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH SELF RESPECT.
THAT IS THE THING THAT CAN GET YOU FAR
[00:50:01]
BEING HONOR B.I MEAN HONORING YOURSELF, SELF RESPECT AND ALL THAT.
HERE'S THE DEFINITION OF SELF-RESPECT.
PRIDE AND CONFIDENCE IN ONESELF.
A FEELING THAT ONE IS BEHAVING WITH HONOR AND DIGNITY.
SO THERE I DO EVERYTHING THAT I DO UNDER INDIGNITY AND I'VE DONE A LOT OF, EVEN WHEN I HAD BE ON WELFARE, I ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE OTHER PERSON.
SO IF IT GOES OVER THE THREE MINUTES, I'LL HAVE TO CATCH YOUR ATTENTION.
JUST TO WARN EVERYBODY, OUR TIMER'S NOT WORKING CORRECTLY SO YOU MAY NOT GET THE YELLOW AND LIGHTEN WARNING, BUT WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR THREE MINUTES AND STOP.
I'M OKON RESIDENT AND I'VE LIVED IN EAST COUNTY ALMOST MY ENTIRE LIFE.
I'M MR MAYOR, CITY COUNCILMAN, A CITY STAFF.
THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME TO SPEAK AND FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR COUNTRY.
I'M HERE AGAIN TO ADDRESS THE ACTIONS OF BEN COLLAGIO AND ASK YOU TO RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.
I FIND IT REMARKABLE THAT IT HAS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.
BEN THINKS HE CAN ACT IN THE WAYS THAT HE IS.
MEN LIKE BEN COLACO WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND EXPLOIT WOMEN ARE THE EXACT SCENARIOS AND PEOPLE I FOUGHT AGAINST FOR YEARS.
WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE, I HELPED FOUND AN ORGANIZATION CALLED, UH, UH, WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE AT SAN DIEGO STATE, I HELPED FOUND A ORGANIZATION CALLED FRAT MANNERS.
AND THAT'S AN ACRONYM THAT STANDS FOR FRATERNITY MEN AGAINST NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTS AND RAPE SITUATIONS.
I EDUCATED, SPOKE AND CONSULTED TO FRATERNITIES, ATHLETIC TEAMS AND OTHER VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS ABOUT PREVENTING SEXUAL ASSAULT OF WOMEN, DEFINING WHAT CONSENT IS AND REDUCING THE CHANCES OF MEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF WOMEN FOR COLLEGES ALL ACROSS CALIFORNIA.
NEVER DID I EXPECT THE VERY ENVIRONMENT I WAS SEEKING TO CHANGE WOULD BE COMING FROM MY LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIAL.
IT IS THE JOB OF MEN LIKE THOSE IN FRAT MANNERS TO AMPLIFY WOMEN'S VOICES AND STANDING AGAINST MEN LIKE BEN KLLAUSS SHOW AND I'M GOING TO ASK A QUESTION DIRECTLY TO YOU FROM ONE OF MY PRESENTATIONS IN COLLEGE.
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF A MAN LARGER AND STRONGER THAN YOU ACTED THE SAME WAY YOU DID TOWARDS THOSE WOMEN IN YOUR PAGEANT? I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU.
YOU FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF ANOTHER POINT YOU DON'T HAVE RESPECT FOR OUR LAWS.
THE JUDGE IN YOUR CURRENT COURT CASE THREATENED TO PUT YOU IN CUSTODY AND CALLED YOUR ACTIONS A DISGRACE FOR NOT COMPLYING WITH COURT ORDERS.
YOU WERE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF COURT MULTIPLE TIMES.
ALL THIS WHILE YOU'RE STILL ON PROBATION AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, MR COLLAGIO, YOU NEED TO ACT IN A WAY THAT IS ABOVE REPROACH.
BUT AS OF NOW, BEN COLLAGE IS ACTING NO DIFFERENT THAN A COMMON CRIMINAL BEN COLLAGE YOU NEED.
HE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS, APOLOGIZE TO THE PEOPLE YOU'VE WRONGED AND RESIGNED IMMEDIATELY.
TODAY'S SEPTEMBER 11TH AND AS AMERICANS, WE REMEMBER HOW FRAGILE AND SHORT LIFE CAN BE AND IT MOVES US TO BECOME BETTER PEOPLE AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING BEN COLOSSAE TO DO.
WE'RE ASKING YOU TO BE A BETTER PERSON AND IF THERE'S ONE THING YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN A TIME WHERE OUR COUNTRY'S EXTREMELY DIVIDED, YOU'VE MANAGED TO BRING TOGETHER LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ALL TO OPPOSE YOU AND I AM PROUD OF MY CITY FOR UNIFYING AGAINST YOUR REPREHENSIBLE ACTIONS.
IT'S PROOF THAT ALCOHOL IS AN AMAZING CITY WITH INCREDIBLE PEOPLE WHO WILL STAND AGAINST ACTIONS LIKE YOURS.
MY NAME IS NATHAN CORNET, EAST COUNTY RESIDENT.
I AM HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT A, AN ONGOING ISSUE CONCERNING THE BEHAVIOR OF BEN COLLAGIO IN OUR CITY.
RECENTLY IN THE MIDST OF HIS OWN POLITICAL STRIFE, NOT FINDING A POLITICAL PARTY IN SAN DIEGO THAT WOULD WORK WITH HIM.
HE ATTEMPTED TO REGISTER AS A FEDERALIST TO DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES SINCE THE EARLY 18 HUNDREDS JAMES MADISON WAS A FEDERALIST AND HE'S QUOTED AS SAYING, THE TRUTH IS THAT ALL MEN HAVING POWER OUGHT TO BE MISTRUSTED.
I LOOK UPON OUR POLITICAL INCUMBENTS WITH THIS SORT OF EYE AND HE HAS GIVEN US AMPLE REASON TO BE DISTRUSTED.
THERE'S A LONG LIST OF UNETHICAL AND LEGAL ENTANGLEMENTS IN WHICH BEN HAS BECOME EMBATTLED.
YOU CAN FIND ALL OF THESE WITH A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH AND I RECOMMEND ALL OF YOU TO A SEARCH BEN COLLAGE SHOW ON GOOGLE.
DISTURBING ACCUSATIONS AND BEHAVIORS ARE NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND SEXUAL PREDATOR TYPE BEHAVIOR CROPPING THE HEAD OF INNOCENT PARTICIPANTS OF HIS MS MIDDLE EASTERN BEAUTY PAGEANT ON THE BODIES OF NUDE WOMEN AND THEN POSTING THEM ON FAKE SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS, ASKING FOR SEX FROM A CONTESTANT IN EXCHANGE FOR
[00:55:01]
THE CROWN, SPREADING FALSE RUMORS ABOUT A WOMAN ENGAGED IN A SEX ACT IN PUBLIC JUST TO DEFAME HER CHARACTER.REAL ESTATE FILINGS FOR, EXCUSE ME, FALSE REAL ESTATE FILINGS TO HIDE ASSETS.
CURRENTLY HE'S ON PROBATION FOR CRIMINAL WORKERS' COMPENSATION FRAUD.
CREATING FALSE POLLS USED TO DEFAME LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT WOULD NOT SUPPORT HIM IN HIS CAMPAIGN IN 2016 BLOCKING CONSTITUENTS TREATING THE S THE, UH, THE LEGAL SYSTEM LIKE A JOKE OR A GAME NOT APPEARING FOR REQUIRED.
COURT APPEARANCE IS NOT PROVIDING DOCUMENTATIONS REQUIRED BY THE JUDGE.
THE RECENT UT ARTICLE ON AUGUST 31ST REPORTS ON JUDGE TIMOTHY TAYLOR'S RESPONSES TO MR COLLAGIO.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEND THE WEEKEND IN CUSTODY? JUDGE TAYLOR TELLS HIM, I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU PLACED IN CUSTODY IF YOU DON'T QUIT FOOLING AROUND.
THE JUDGE ALSO REMINDED COLOSSAE THAT HE IS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO SHOULD SET A BETTER EXAMPLE FOR HIS CONSTITUENTS.
JUDGE TAYLOR SAID, SIR, YOU ARE A PUBLIC ELECTED OFFICIAL AND YOU'RE TREATING THIS LIKE A GAME.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THREE THINGS.
FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU, BEN, TO STEP DOWN AND RESIGN YOUR POSITION AS THE OUTCOME CITY COUNCIL.
SECOND, I WOULD ASK THE OAKLAWN CITY STAFF AND COUNCIL TO BE WARY OF THIS MAN'S BEHAVIOR TO VIEW IT AS A POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR OUR CITY, THE POTENTIAL COSTS THAT IT MIGHT COST OUR CITY AS A RESULT OF HIS BEHAVIORS.
AND LASTLY, I WOULD ASK THE VOTERS, IT'S A GOOGLE BEN COLLAZO RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF.
THE FACTS BEFORE YOU VOTE, READ THE COURT DOCUMENTS.
WELCOME AFTERNOON MAYOR CITY COUNCIL.
I'M HERE AS AN EXECUTIVE MEMBER FOR THE ALCOHOL AND RECREATION COUNCIL AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR GUYS' CONTRIBUTION TO SUPPORTING YOUTH SPORTS.
WE REPRESENT ALL THE KIDS WHO PLAY YOUTH SPORTS, ORGANIZED SPORTS IN THE VALLEY AND I'M SURE A LOT OF THESE KIDS FROM WALHALLA BEHIND ME WERE BENEFICIARIES OF YOUR GUYS' GENEROSITY.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK YOUR GUYS AS STAFF FROM PARK AND RECS IN PARTICULAR, FRANK CARSON AND JULIE AYLLON.
THEY'RE WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH US ON A REGULAR BASIS.
AND IF YOU HAVEN'T PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR YET, REMEMBER THERE'S A UM, GOLF TOURNAMENT ON FRIDAY FUNDRAISER FOR THE OFFER REC TOURNAMENT.
SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO JUST SAY THANK YOU AGAIN.
FIRST OF ALL, REAL QUICKLY MR DIMAGGIO, I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO RECOGNIZE YOUR LAST TIME, BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AND CITY MANAGER GRAHAM.
QUICK UPDATE ABOUT OUR REQUESTS FOR RENT MEDIATION.
OH, LAST TIME I WAS HERE IN AUGUST THE 14TH, I SAID, WELL, WE'D BE DOING A PRE MEDIATION WITH THE MEDIATOR THROUGH THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION.
UH, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T REACH THE OTHER PARTY.
THIS IS COSTING THE CITY MONEY BY THE WAY.
AND THEN, UH, WE TRIED AGAIN ON AUGUST 31ST WHERE AFTER ABOUT A 10 MINUTE SEARCH, THEY DID REPLY, REPLY, UH, MOVING ON BY THE 17TH OF THIS MONTH, ALL THE REQUESTS HAVE TO BE IN OKAY.
TO THE MEDIATOR ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PARTY.
AND THEN AGAIN ON THE 24TH, WE WILL ACTUALLY SET UP THE MEDIATION DATE.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE RENT MEDIATION? UH, ONE THING I WANT TO DO, TALK ABOUT REAL QUICKLY HERE AND THAT IS UH, YOU KNOW, SINCE I'VE BEEN COMING TO THESE MEETINGS, I'VE WATCHED A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE COME UP HERE TO THIS CITY COUNCIL AND SPEAK ABOUT SOME VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES.
MEN LIKE BONNIE PRICE, MYSELF, DAVID CHENOWITH AND NOTHING GETS SAID ABOUT THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES.
I DON'T WANT TO GO TOO MUCH MORE INTO THAT THERE, UH, ABOUT MR COLLAGE SHOW, MR COLLAGE WHO JUST RECENTLY CAME TO ONE OF OUR ON THE 15TH OF LAST MONTH, HE DID COME TO A MEETING ALONG WITH MAYORAL CANDIDATE JOEL SCOWL ZETI WHO I PERSONALLY AM SUPPORTING MR MAYOR AND ALSO MR KENDRICK.
I AM GOING TO SUPPORT MR CLAW SHOW.
AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY, I BE GLAD TO EXPLAIN, GIVE YOU A FEW EXAMPLES WHY I'M DOING THIS HERE.
LIKE I SAID, THIS IS A TIME THING HERE.
UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN, UH, IN 1964 AND 65 WHEN MARTIN LUTHER KING, NO, WE PASSED TWO GREAT MONUMENTAL LEGISLATIVE THINGS THERE.
[01:00:01]
ON FROM THIS POINT, WE CAN EITHER HAVE CHAOS OR COMMUNITY, WHICH I PERSONALLY CALL COLLECTIVE COMMUNITY.AND I DON'T SEE MUCH OF THAT COLLECTIVE COMMUNITY COMING THROUGH THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.
AND THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK ON ANYONE.
THIS IS HOW I HONESTLY FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M SEEING.
UH, AND ABOUT THE, THOSE FARMS, AGAIN, 704 60, I STILL FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE PUT ON THE COUNCIL'S WEBPAGE FOR TRUE TRANSPARENCY.
I'M GOING TO BE GETTING THEM HOPEFULLY HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE THROUGH, UH, THIS A CITY CLERK AND A, AND IF I HAVE TO COME UP HERE AND, AND QUOTE FROM THEM, I WILL, BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO GO AND GET THIS INFORMATION.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT I PERSONALLY KNOW ABOUT, AND I WILL BE GETTING THOSE COPIES TOWARDS THE END OF THIS MONTH ONCE EVERYONE HAS DECLARED.
AND EXCUSE ME, UH, JUST CLOSING THAT AGAIN.
I ALWAYS SAY THAT SENIORS VOTE OKAY.
AND UH, AND ALSO NOT LEAVING OUT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE WHEN THEY BECOME OF AGE BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT SMARTER, A LOT SHARPER AND THEY NOT ONLY QUESTIONING ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN THE FUTURE ABOUT THEMSELVES, MANY OF THEM ARE CARING ABOUT WHO THEY ARE RIGHT NOW AND HOW IT AFFECTS THEM NOW, WHICH IS PROBABLY JUST AS IMPORTANT ABOUT THEIR FUTURE NOW IF ANYONE ON THE CITY COUNCIL STAFF WANTS TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS, OUR TIMER ISN'T WORKING.
I GUESS YOUR TIME HAS GONE BY.
THAT'S KIND OF NICE, ISN'T IT? OR TIED TO YOUR FAVORITE LIST.
WELL, I KNEW PRICE HERE, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL AND THERE I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE FRUIT FROM THE VILLA NUEVA, A MANUFACTURED HOME PARK AGAIN AND TODAY WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE SOME OF THEM HAD NOT COME HERE BEFORE.
WHAT? WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THESE PEOPLE ARE FACING AN ANNUAL RENT INCREASE FOR THE LAND ON WHICH THEIR HOME SET OF 5% COMPOUNDED ANNUALLY.
SOME OF THEM HAVE 20 YEAR CONTRACTS.
MA, MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO RESIDE IN THIS PARK ARE SENIOR WOMEN.
WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG, THEY COULD NOT WORK FOR DRUGS THAT GAVE THEM DECENT PAY.
THEY'RE LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY, WHICH IS LOWER FOR OLDER WOMEN THAN IT IS FOR MEN.
THEREFORE, WHEN THEIR ANNUAL RENT INCREASE COMES, IT'S LIKELY THAT THEY WILL FALL BEHIND IN THEIR RENT PAYMENT BECAUSE THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY GOES UP 2% NOT COMPOUNDED ANNUALLY WHILE THEIR RENT GOES UP 5% COMPOUNDED ANNUALLY.
THEREFORE, MANY WOMEN ARE SUBJECT TO BEING HOMELESS BECAUSE A LIEN IS PUT ON THEIR PROPERTY AND THE LEANEST PUT ON THEIR PROPERTY.
THEY CANNOT SELL IT AND THEY HAVE TO WALK AWAY.
THIS IS A TERRIBLE MORAL SITUATION THAT YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO CREATE MORE HOMELESS PEOPLE AND THESE PEOPLE DESERVE TO GET THE BENEFITS OUT OF THEIR HOME.
WHEN THEY'RE HOME HAS A LIEN ON IT, THEY CANNOT SELL IT.
AND THE OWNERS OF THE LAND GET TO OWN THAT, THAT HOME THAT THEY PAID FOR AND RENTED OUT.
AND THOSE WHO LOST THEIR PROPERTY GOT NOTHING.
SO THESE PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN LEADERSHIP TO USE A MEDIATION PROCESS, BUT IT'S GOING VERY SLOWLY AND YOU HAVE THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION DOING THE WORK.
I'M SURE THEY'D LIKE TO HURRY THE PROCESS AND YOU WOULD BECAUSE IT REDUCES OUR COSTS.
BUT THERE HAS TO BE SOME WAY OF MAKING THIS PROCESS MOVE FASTER.
[01:05:01]
WAS REFERRING TO SOME FORMS. PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW WHAT THOSE FORMS ARE.THOSE ARE THE IX EXPENDITURE FORMS OF WHO MAKES CONTRIBUTIONS TO YOUR CAMPAIGN, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER.
DO WHAT YOU CAN TO HELP THESE PEOPLE KEEP THEIR HOMES SPEED UP THE PROCESS.
I MEAN MR. MITCHELL, UM, OH, FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE CONCERTS.
AND MOM DON'T GET MAD AT ME, BUT MY 82 YEAR OLD MOTHER IS OUT THERE DANCING AFTER SHE GETS OFF WORK, YOU KNOW, WORK.
BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S, IT'S A LOT OF FUN.
SO HAVING SAID THAT, REUNIFICATION DOESN'T HAPPEN IN ALL PEOPLE'S LIVES.
HOW CAN SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY CAN FIX OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THE TRUE DETAILS? MAYBE SOME PEOPLE SHOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THEIR OWN LIVES AND GET OFF OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME THEY'RE ONLY TRYING TO REUNITE OTHERS FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH REASONS OF BEING IN CONTROL.
I BELIEVE IN RE UNIFICATION THAT IT CAN WORK, BUT ONLY WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO AND NOT WHEN IT'S FORCED BY SOME GROUP FOR THEIR POLITICAL AND ESPECIALLY RELIGIOUS REASONS.
AND THAT'S WHEN IT BECOMES POWER AND A MONEY GRAB IN THAT ORDER OF POLITICAL AND RELIGION.
UM, OH, AND SINCE I HAVE THE TIME, ANYONE IN THAT BIG BROWN BUILDING OVER THERE AND LISTENING, YOU KNOW, NOT YOUR BUILDING BUT THE COURTHOUSE.
UM, THEY NEED TO STOP MESSING WITH PEOPLE, SEEN IT TO UM, CREATE MORE PROGRAMS, ESPECIALLY ANGER MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. THANK YOU.
WE HAVE, WE HAVE FOUR MORE SPEAKERS AND THE NEXT ONE IS CHRISTINE COSTA.
CHRISTINE, WELCOME, HONORABLE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY STAFF IN THE SPIRIT OF RECYCLING AND TO, TO LEAD OFF OF OUR TAKEAWAY FROM, UM, I LOVE A CLEAN SAN DIEGO.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT AND REMIND THE RESIDENTS, UH, ABOUT OUR ALCOHOL AND DROP OFF LOCATION LOCATED AT NINE TO FIVE O'CONNOR JUST OFF JOHNSON AVENUE RESIDENTS CAN UTILIZE OUR TRANSFER STATION TO DISPOSE OF BATTERIES, BULBS, SHARPS, UH, E-WASTE MATTRESSES, USED OIL IN OIL FILTERS.
YOU CAN DO THAT MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 8:00 AM TO 2:00 PM NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY.
WE ALSO OFFER A HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DROP OFF EVENT AND THAT'S ON THE SECOND AND FOURTH SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH.
UH, IT DOES REQUIRE AN APPOINTMENT.
YOU CAN SIMPLY CALL OUR CALL CENTER (619) 596-5100 TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND THE RESIDENTS CAN BRING 15 GALLONS OR 125 POUNDS OF HW OVER FREE OF CHARGE.
UM, WE ALSO OFFER A RECYCLING BUYBACK CENTER WHERE RESIDENTS CAN BRING THEIR CRV, THEIR CARDBOARD, STEAL A PAPER, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

UH, FREE OF TENSILE ORNAMENTS AND STANDS, UM, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 7:00 AM TO 4:00 PM AND IF YOU GUYS WANT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT OR NEED MORE INFORMATION, WWW.WM.COM OR (619) 596-5100.
CHRISTINE, UH, YOU MIGHT, YOU DIDN'T MENTION ABOUT LARGE ITEMS THAT PEOPLE WANT TO SET OUT ON SENSEI.
IF THEY LIVE IN THE CITY OF ALCOHOL AND THEY CAN SET OUT ON THEIR CURB CALL BEFORE THEIR REGULAR TRASH DAY AND YOU WILL SEND A SPECIAL TRUCK TO PICK UP LARGE ITEMS LIKE TELEVISIONS OR WATER HEATERS OR MATTRESSES OR WHATEVER.
I'VE HAD, I'VE USED THAT SEVERAL TIMES VERY WELL SO, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.
SO FOUR TIMES A YEAR RESIDENTS CAN SCHEDULE A BULK ITEM PICKUP FREE OF CHARGE, UH, FOR ANY HOUSEHOLD GOOD APPLIANCES, MATTRESSES, UM, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
FOUR TIMES A YEAR UP TO SIX ITEMS COMPLETELY FREE.
JUST NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BEFORE YOUR NEXT SERVICE DAY.
[01:10:01]
THANK YOU SIR.I'VE BEEN LIVING HERE JUST UNDER A YEAR NOW.
I WAS IN LAKESIDE FOR 25 YEARS.
UM, THIS IS ONLY MY SECOND COUNCIL MEETING AND I CAME HERE TODAY FOR THE SAME REASON I WAS HERE LAST TIME.
AND THAT IS TO ASK THIS COUNCIL TO DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO CENSURE OR ELIMINATE BEN COLLAGIO.
UM, HE'S BROUGHT ENOUGH SHAME ON OUR CITY AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I'M A DEMOCRAT.
I'M A PROUD PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT.
AND WHAT THAT MEANS TO ME IS THAT WE HOLD OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE.
AND, UH, WHEN A SLIMEBALL GETS UNDER THE RADAR, WE DON'T TURN OUR BACKS AND DOUBLED DOWN AND PRETEND LIKE WE VOTED THE THE RIGHT PERSON IN.
WE KNOW WHEN SOMEBODY HAS GOTTEN THROUGH UNDER OUR RADAR.
AND, UH, I'M GLAD YOU JUMPED SHIP.
THE PARTY WAS NEVER GOING TO ENDORSE YOU THIS TIME AROUND.
AND UH, THIS MAKES IT MUCH EASIER.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS I THAT REALLY BOTHERS ME IS THAT, UH, THERE'S A VERY SMALL DEM CLUB IN EAST COUNTY THAT KIND OF SPONSORED BEN LAST TIME AROUND.
AND, UM, BECAUSE OF HIS ANTICS, THEY CAME THIS CLOSE TO LOSING THEIR CHARTER.
AND THIS IS A CLUB THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR A REALLY LONG TIME WITH SOME REALLY WONDERFUL PEOPLE, PEOPLE THAT I CONSIDER MY FRIENDS AND, UH, YOU BAMBOOZLED THEM AND, UM, THE REST OF US AREN'T GONNA LET YOU GET AWAY WITH IT.
WE WILL BE HERE AS LONG AS YOU'RE HERE TO CALL ON YOU TO QUIT.
I WAS KINDA HOPING YOU WOULDN'T SHOW UP TODAY AND YOU WOULD GHOST US LIKE YOU DID THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES.
CAUSE I KNOW SOONER OR LATER IF YOU CONTINUE TO CALL IN SICK, YOU'VE GOT TO GET FIRED.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, I'LL BE HERE AS LONG AS YOU'RE HERE, MR
AND UM, YOU'RE NOT A DEMOCRAT.
UH, YOU DON'T REPRESENT THE CITIZENS OF OKLAHOMA.
YOU DON'T EVEN RENT REPRESENT YOUR OWN PEOPLE.
AND THEN ONE OTHER THING THAT I WANTED TO MENTION, UH, BEFORE I SIT DOWN IS, UH, LIKE I SAID LAST TIME WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I, I'VE BEEN HERE AND THERE WAS A WOMAN WHO CAME UP, KIND OF LOONY WHITE LADY AND SHE MADE A REALLY BLATANT RACIST COMMENT AND NOT ONE PERSON ON THIS COUNCIL CALLED HER ON IT.
IT WAS JUST A REALLY BLATANT, RACIST COMMENT ABOUT AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND NO BODY HERE SAID A THING.
AND THAT WAS JUST ASTONISHING TO ME.
SO, UM, I DUNNO, I'M A RESIDENT, I VOTE, I'LL BE BACK.
HEY DISTINGUISHED MAYOR, DISTINGUISHED COUNCIL MEMBERS AND COLLAGIO, UM, I WASN'T GOING TO SPEAK TODAY CAUSE I'M NOT FEELING GOOD SO I PROBABLY WON'T HAVE THE SAME ENERGY I TYPICALLY HAVE.
BUT A COUPLE OF THINGS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STANDING OUT THERE.
I WAS FASCINATED WATCHING ALL THESE YOUNG PEOPLE COME UP AND TALK ABOUT THEIR GOALS AND THEIR DREAMS AND IT'S IMPRESSIVE.
AND ALL I COULD KEEP THINKING WAS WE HAVE A SEXUAL PREDATOR UP ON THE DIETS AND WHAT IS HE THINKING WHILE WE'RE ALL PLOTTING THEM? I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ASKED THE CITY ATTORNEY IF PEOPLE SHOULD, UH, STATE THEIR ADDRESS WHERE THEY LIVE EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE SPINAL FORTITUDE TO TAKE WHAT'S COMING TO YOU.
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A CIVICS LESSONS CAUSE YOU'RE A LITTLE SLOW IN THAT APPARENTLY TRYING TO JOIN THE FEDERALIST PARTY.
UM, I'M ALSO GOING TO GIVE YOU A GEOGRAPHY LESSON.
ALCOHOL AND CALIFORNIA IS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
HERE COMES A CIVICS BIN IS BOUND BY THE CONSTITUTION.
THE FIRST RIGHT ON THE CONSTITUTION AND THE ONE THEY THOUGHT WAS SO IMPORTANT, THEY MADE IT.
NUMBER ONE, IT'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH MEANS ANYBODY FROM ANYWHERE IN THIS COUNTRY CAN COME TO THIS COUNCIL AND CALL YOU OUT FOR BEING THE DIRTBAG YOU ARE.
THEY CAN COME FROM MAINE, THEY CAN COME FROM FLORIDA, THEY CAN COME FROM ANYWHERE.
YOU CAN TRY AND DODGE, YOU CAN TRY AND HIDE, BUT YOU CAN'T.
THE CONSTITUTION IS GOING TO CHASE YOU DOWN BROTHER.
AND WE'RE GOING TO ALL BE HERE AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE GONE.
I KNOW ALL YOU CAN DO A CENTRUM ASKING YOU TO BRING IT UP
[01:15:01]
AND AT LEAST DISCUSS IT.I WANT, I WONDER, BEN, DID YOU ASK ALL THE WOMEN THAT YOU HARASSED AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THEIR HOME ADDRESSES? SO LAST QUESTION, SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO YOU, MAN, MR. LANE, KEEPING WITH WHAT I HAD SAID EARLIER, IF YOU COULD ADDRESS YOUR COMMENTS TO ME, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
UM, SO I'LL LOOK AT YOU AND TALK ABOUT BEN.
YOU KNOW, UH, BEN'S TRYING TO DODGE THE LAW, NOT SHOWING UP TO COURT, TRYING TO DODGE LAWSUITS THAT ARE GETTING SERVED ON HIM.
HE DOESN'T HAVE THE SPINAL FORTITUDE TO ACCEPT CRITICISM.
HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
THAT'S WHY HE BLOCKED ME ON FACEBOOK CAUSE HE CAN'T TAKE CRITICISM FOR STUFF HE DOES.
HE LIKES TO DO IT, BUT HE CAN'T TAKE THE CRITICISM.
MR MAYOR, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP COMING UNTIL BEN'S GONE.
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ASKING YOU TO SEND TO HIM AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE LAW ON HIM AS WELL.
UM, MY NAME IS KILIAN AND I'M A RESIDENT OF ALCON CITY.
UM, I REALIZED THAT MR COLLAGIO ALWAYS DO THE OPPOSITE THING WHEN PEOPLE ASK HIM TO DO SO TODAY I'M GOING TO TELL HIM SOMETHING THAT PLEASE DON'T RESIGN.
HOPEFULLY YOU WILL DO THE OPPOSITE THING BECAUSE YOU'LL LOVE THESE THINGS.
SERIOUSLY, IF THAT MANY PEOPLE SPEAK LIKE THAT, EVERY TUESDAY, EVERY MONTH AGAINST ME, I WOULD DISAPPEAR.
UM, I WAS REALLY JUST SPIT FROM PUBLIC LIFE.
UH, BUT I'M TELLING YOU DON'T DISAPPEAR.
YOU'RE NOT A SEXUAL PREDATOR AND YOU KNOW, RON AGAIN AND PEOPLE VOTE FOR YOU.
HOPEFULLY YOU NOT LISTEN TO ME.
WELL ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WON'T, NOT THANKS A LOT.
I JUST WANT TO SHARE A FEW SCRIPTURES, UH, REGARDING BEN KLOSS SHU AND ISAIAH CHAPTER ONE VERSES 18 THROUGH 20.
IT SAYS THIS, COME NOW, LET US REASON TOGETHER.
SAYS THE LORD, THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE WHITE AS SNOW, THOUGH THEY ARE RED LIKE CRIMSON, THEY SHALL BE LIKE WOOL IF NOW MOST CHRISTIANS CELEBRATE THIS FIRST, BUT THERE'S MORE TO IT.
IF YOU ARE WILLING AND OBEDIENT, YOU SHALL EAT THE GOOD OF THE LAND.
BUT IF YOU REFUSE AND REBEL, YOU SHALL EAT, BE EATEN BY THE SWORD, FOR THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HAS SPOKEN.
MOST OF THE TIME CHRISTIANS ARE SEEN WITH THE FACE OF LOVE, BUT JESUS HAS MORE FACES THAN JUST LOVE.
HE'S ALSO JUST AND RIGHTEOUS AND HE DEFENDS THOSE THAT HE LOVES AND HE ESPECIALLY DEFENSE THE CHILDREN AND THE YOUNG ONES.
AND I WANT TO PERSONALLY REPENT FOR ANY INVOLVEMENT IN ALLOWING BEN KLOSS SHOW TO BE ON THIS COUNCIL, WHETHER IT WAS LE LETHARGY, WHETHER IT WAS SLACK OR, OR ANY, ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON MY PART AND FOR THE CITY.
I WANT TO REPENT FOR THAT BECAUSE IT'S OUR FAULT, BUT WE ALSO DESIRE THAT THINGS CHANGED FROM HERE.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS PLEASING TO THE LORD AND I BELIEVE THAT THE LORD WANTS THINGS TO CHANGE, BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE ALL OF US TO RISE UP AND IT'S TRUE.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP AND OUR GOD IS BIGGER THAN YOURS.
COUNCIL MEMBERS, UM, WILL TELL YOU GUYS A LITTLE STORY.
UH, ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I DECIDED I WANTED TO SERVE MY COMMUNITY AND GET INVOLVED LOCALLY AT THE POLITICAL LEVEL, COMMUNITY LEVEL.
AND, UH, I AM A DEMOCRAT AND SO NATURALLY I SAID I WOULD, UH, YOU KNOW, SEE IF THERE'S ANY LOCAL CLUBS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND THERE WAS, UM, I GOT INTO A,
[01:20:01]
I WOULD EVEN CALL IT CONFRONTATION.I JUST DISAGREED WITH SOMETHING THAT BEN COLLAGIO PUT ON FACEBOOK WITH HIS BIG PLAN THAT HE NEVER DID ANYTHING WITH WHEN HE GOT ELECTED.
LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD ANYWAYS.
AND I SAID, I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T AGREE WITH HIM SAYING WE COULDN'T HAVE REFUGEES IN THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA THAT WAS ENOUGH TO GET BLOCKED AND THEN HAVE MY NAME TARNISHED WITHIN THAT CLUB FROM HINTON.
HE WAS SO VINDICTIVE BECAUSE I JUST DISAGREED WITH THEM.
I, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE GUY BECAUSE I DISAGREED WITH HIM.
HE INSTRUCTED THE PEOPLE IN THIS CLUB TO REMOVE ME, HAVE ME KICKED OUT AND ROB ME OF MY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN DEMOCRACY FROM A SIMPLE DISAGREEMENT ON FACEBOOK THAT SHOWS YOU THE KIND OF CHARACTER THAT HE HAS.
YOU NEED MEDICATION, YOU NEED SOMETHING, BUT YOU NEED HELP.
LIKE HONESTLY, IT'S BEYOND THE POINT.
BUT DUDE, LIKE I'M SERIOUSLY, I'M JUST CONCERNED.
I LIKE, I'M REALLY CONCERNED FOR YOU, MAN.
IT HURTS ME TO SEE FELLOW CAMBODIANS SPIRAL LIKE THIS.
I'M JUST TELLING YOU, MAN, FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
IT MIGHT BE BEST IF YOU JUST STEPPED DOWN, WORK ON YOURSELF, WORK ON YOUR FAMILY AND COME BACK LATER ON AND DO SOMETHING ELSE.
I HAVE A REALITY SHOW OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, I DO WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT WAS A LAWSUIT THAT YOU WERE JUST SERVED SO YOU HAD BEEN SERVED BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T TAKE IT AND YOU WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT, BUT IT WAS THERE.
BUT HEY MAN, DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF.
I MEAN, AT THE VERY LEAST, IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT.
YOU CAN STILL REDEEM YOURSELF.
YOU COULD STILL MAKE THINGS BETTER.
THAT'S THE BEST THING THAT I CAN SAY.
I'M ALSO REALLY GREAT TO SEE ALL THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HERE.
SHOUT OUT TO ALL YOU GUYS FOR THOSE ASPIRATIONS.
I'LL BE SUPPORTING, UH, MAYOR BILL WELLS, UH, FOR HIS REELECTION.
CAUSE I HEARD SOMEONE SAYING THAT THEY WERE SUPPORTING SCOWLS EDDIE AND UH, ANYBODY WHO'S AFFILIATED WITH BEN, THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME TO KNOW.
THAT'S NOT SOMEBODY THAT I SHOULD BE SUPPORTING ANYWAY.
SO, UH, NOT TO GET TOO POLITICAL.
I JUST WANNA THROW THAT OUT THERE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TIME.

HEARING FOR A VACATION OF A SEWER EASEMENT AND I WILL ASK STAFF TO TELL US ABOUT THIS.I HAD TROUBLE SLEEPING LAST NIGHT CAUSE I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO BE UP TALKING ABOUT THIS VACATION OF A SERIES, BUT SO
UH, THIS SEWER VACATION IS PART OF THE CLEANUP PROCESS OF THE JOHNSON AVENUE SEWER PROJECT.

THERE WERE SOME EASEMENTS THAT WERE THERE AND AFTER WE VACATED, UH, MANY OF THE SEWER LATERALS AND REDID THEM WITH BRAND NEW ONES IN NEW PLACES, THE, THERE WERE NEW EASEMENTS THAT WERE DEDICATED TO THE CITY AND THIS IS THE CLEANUP PROCESS AFTER THE WHOLE PROJECT'S BEEN COMPLETED.

IS AN APPEAL FOR DENIAL OF A SPECIAL OPERATION LICENSE FOR ONE 41 SIX HOLDINGS INCORPORATED.I'LL ASK STAFF TO TELL US ABOUT THIS MAYOR.
AND THAT WAS REMOVED FROM THE CALENDAR EARLIER DURING THE AGENDA CHAIN.
[19. Dockless Bicycles RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receives the report and considers providing direction to staff based on the recommendations of the report. ]
IS REPORT.I'M DOC LISTS, BICYCLES AND STAFF.
WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THIS GENTLY, MR MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
ON JULY 24TH, THE CITY COUNCIL ASKED STAFF TO COME BACK WITH AN AGENDA ITEM ADDRESSING THE PROLIFERATION OF DOCK LESS BIKES OR BIKE SHARE A BIKE, BICYCLES IN THE CITY OF EL CAHONE.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS AGENDA ITEM IS TO DO JUST THAT.
UM, THE STAFF REPORT WILL PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION, UM, OR DOES PROVIDE BACKGROUND INFORMATION.
ALSO PROVIDES SOME INFORMATION ABOUT HOW OTHER CITIES ARE REGULATING, UH, THIS NEW ENTERPRISE.
AND UM, THEN THE REPORT INCLUDES SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND I'LL JUST REVIEW SOME OF THE SALIENT POINTS OF THE STAFF REPORT.
TRADITIONALLY SINCE THE, SINCE SORT OF THE EMERGENCE OF BIKE SHARE PROGRAMS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, THERE'S REALLY BEEN THREE COMPANIES, A LINE BIKE, WHICH IS SHOWN AS THE GREEN BICYCLE OFHOW WHICH IS THE YELLOW BIKE.
AND THEN MOBIKE, WHICH IS THE RED AND SILVER BIKE.
RIGHT NOW MOBIKE IS REALLY ISOLATED TOWARDS DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO.
IN FACT, THEY HAVE A, IT'S CALLED A GEO FENCE, SO WE DON'T SEE AS MANY OF THOSE BIKES IN THE COMMUNITY AS WE DID INITIALLY.
BUT CLEARLY LINE BIKE AND OFHOW ARE OUR TWO BIKES THAT WE SEE PREVALENT IN THE CITY.
UH, THIS IS SORT OF A, AN IMAGE THAT SHOWS HOW BIKE SHARING COMPANIES PORTRAY SORT OF THE IMAGE OF WHAT THE THIS PROGRAM SHOULD LOOK LIKE.
AND STAFF ACTUALLY BELIEVES THAT THIS IMAGE IS A, CERTAINLY A REALISTIC GOAL.
BUT HOWEVER, WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN OUR COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT, UM, DRIVING AROUND SAN DIEGO IS SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE THIS.
AND SEVERAL OF THESE PHOTOS ARE ACTUALLY TAKEN FROM THE CITY OR SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
UH, WE SEE THAT BIKES ARE LEFT HAPHAZARDLY ALL AROUND THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WITHOUT LACK OF OWNERSHIP, THERE'S REALLY LACK OF A NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THESE BICYCLES.
AND WORSE, WE FEAR THAT WHAT COULD HAPPEN.
UM, LUCKILY WE'VE NEVER SEEN THIS IN
UM, BUT CERTAINLY THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS THE CONCERN, ESPECIALLY GIVEN SOME OF THE, THE CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS OR THE NUANCES OF THE BIKE INDUSTRY.
UM, HEARING REPORTS THAT OFHOW IS AN INTERESTED IN PICKING UP BIKES ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE COST IS SO LOW, IT'S JUST EASY TO THROW IT AWAY.
SO IN TERMS OF
THREE OF THOSE BICYCLES WERE ENABLED, MEANING THE GPS DEVICE WAS INTACT AND IT WAS LOCKABLE AND YOU COULD USE AN APP TO RIDE IT.
WE FOUND 22 BICYCLES THAT WERE DISABLED, MEANING EITHER THE GPS DEVICE WAS DISABLED AND THE LOCK WAS REMOVED AND IT WAS BEING USED IN AN ILLEGAL FASHION OR HAD HAD BEEN HIJACKED.
UM, WE FIND THAT THIS IS TYPICALLY THE TYPE OF USE THAT WE SEE AROUND THE COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE CLEARLY FOLKS IN MY OBSERVATION AND STAFF'S OBSERVATION THAT ARE USING THESE BICYCLES.
IT IS A LAST MILE TOOL TO GET FROM A HOME OR A BUSINESS TO THE TROLLEY STATION OR A BUS STATION AND IT HAS A LEGITIMATE USE.
HOWEVER, WE SEE FAR MORE OF THEM THAT ARE DISABLED, UH, OR MORE INCREASINGLY DISCARDED.
AND, UM, EVEN TODAY WE FOUND BICYCLES WITHOUT TIRES.
UM, ONE BICYCLE WAS BEING CARVED UP TO BECOME, UH, THE STRUCTURE OF A TENT OR HOUSING STRUCTURE.
SO THERE, THESE BICYCLES ARE BEING USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES BESIDES TRANSPORTATION.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE, UH, A LITTLE BIT OF A DEMAND OF, OF STAFF TIME.
RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT TREMENDOUS.
WE DO SOME PROACTIVE STAFFING WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT.
SO IF WE SEE A BIKE BLOCKING THE RIGHT OF WAY, WE'LL, WE'LL PUT THAT INTO CODE ENFORCEMENT.
PUBLIC WORKS RECEIVES FIVE TO SIX CALLS PER WEEK WITH A COMPLAINT SEWING.
SO AN INDICATING THAT A BICYCLE IS BLOCKING A WALKWAY OR IN FRONT
[01:30:01]
OF A BUSINESS OR IS BLOCKING AN ADA HANDICAP OR ADA HANDICAP A RAMP.ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STAFF DID IS WE LOOKED AT DIFFERENT POLICIES BEING IMPLEMENTED NOT ONLY AROUND THE COUNTY BUT AROUND THE UNITED STATES.
UH, AS YOU KNOW, CORONADO'S RECEIVED A LOT OF ATTENTION BECAUSE OF ITS BIKE PROGRAM.
THEY HAVE A POLICY OR A PROGRAM IN WHICH IF A BIKE SHOWS UP IN CORNETTO, THERE'S TWO HOURS TO RETRIEVE THE BIKE AND THE BIKE IS NOT RETRIEVED.
IT'S, IT'S CONFISCATED, IT'S HELD AN IMPOUNDMENT AND THERE'S A FEE TO RELEASE IT.
UM, THE NORTH COUNTY COASTAL CITIES DEL MAR TO OCEANSIDE IS CURRENTLY LOOKING AT A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH WHERE THEY WOULD, UM, THEY'RE LOOKING, WORKING ON MORE OF AN RFP THAT THEY WOULD SELECT ONE COMPANY TO REPRESENT THOSE COMMUNITIES.
EACH OF THOSE CITIES WILL HAVE AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACT WITH THAT ONE COMPANY, BUT THERE'LL BE SOME UNIFORMITY AND THERE'S BE SOME SIMPLICITY WITH ONE USER AMONGST THE CITIES.
UM, THE CITY OF DALLAS HAS AN INTERESTING APPROACH WHERE THEY CHARGE, UM, A COMPANY, LET'S SAY LINE BIKE, THEY WOULD BE CHARGED IN $800 FEE TO ENTER INTO THE CITY AND THEN THEY CHARGE $21 PER BICYCLE.
UM, SEATTLE HAS A SIMILAR PROGRAM.
UM, AND THEY ALSO HAVE A PROGRAM WHERE THERE'S AN APP THROUGH THE CITY OF SEATTLE.
IF YOU SEE A BICYCLE THAT'S WITHIN SIX FEET OF A SIDEWALK OR A NON DESIGNATED AREA, THAT COMPANY HAS TWO HOURS TO RE TO, TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
IF THEY DON'T, THERE'S A FINE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
CHICAGO HAS A SIMILAR PROGRAM TO THAT OF DALLAS WHERE THEY CHARGE $250 TO ENTER INTO THE MARKET AND THEN $50 PER BIKE.
CHICAGO HAS AN INCENTIVE THAT IF YOU, UM, INCLUDE AS PART OF YOUR PROGRAM AND ABILITY TO LOCK YOUR BIKE TO A DESIGNATED SPACE, THE CITY OF CHICAGO WILL GIVE YOU MORE BIKE CAPACITY IN THE CITY.
SO IT ENCOURAGES GOOD BEHAVIOR CAUSE BICYCLE.
THESE BIKES, YOUR COMPANIES HAVE THE ABILITY TO INCENTIVIZE THEIR CUSTOMERS TO GOOD BEHAVIOR.
SO IF YOU WERE TO PARK YOUR BIKE IN AN INAPPROPRIATE PLACE, YOU'D GET A DISCOUNT THE NEXT TIME YOU USE BIKE X.
UM, SO THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE THE MARKET TO INCENTIVIZE APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR.
SO, SO THE STAFF REPORT INCLUDES SEVERAL THOUGHTS, UM, SORT OF BIG POLICY OPTIONS AND IN THE PURPOSE OF TODAY ISN'T TO NECESSARILY ADOPT A POLICY, BUT IT'S TO GIVE STAFF SOME DIRECTION OF WHERE THE COUNCIL WANTS TO GO IF THEY WANT TO GO ANYWHERE AT ALL.
ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS THAT'S PRESENTED IN THE STAFF REPORT IS THAT THE COUNCIL TAKE NO ACTION, SORT OF WAIT AND SEE HOW OTHER CITIES DEAL WITH THIS.
UM, STAFF BELIEVES BASED ON, UM, INDUSTRY AND BASED ON, UH, BICYCLE ADVOCATES THAT THIS IS AN INCREASING, UH, PROGRAM THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE OF THESE.
AND I THINK BY NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME IS PROBABLY THE WRONG APPROACH.
IF THE COUNCIL WANTED TO WAIT AND SEE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THAT MAY MAKE SENSE.
BUT STAFF WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNCIL TAKE A NO ACTION APPROACH FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
UM, THE OTHER APPROACH IS MORE OF A CITY OF CORNETTO APPROACH.
UH, WE GIVE, THE CITY WOULD GIVE, UH, A BIKE THAT ENTERS OR IS LEFT BEHIND.
SO IT'S NOT REALLY MAKING A BIKE ILLEGAL TO COME INTO THE CITY.
IT'S WHEN THEY'RE LEFT BEHIND AND NOT MAINTAINED.
IF THE CITY WERE TO FIND AN UNMAINTAINED BIKE IN THE CITY, WE WOULD CALL WHOEVER THE BIKE COMPANY WOULD BE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TWO HOURS TO PICK IT UP.
AND IF IT'S NOT PICKED UP, WE WOULD CHARGE A FINE AND WE WOULD IMPOUND THE BICYCLE.
UM, STAFF IS WORRIED THAT THIS COULD BE A REGULATORY ISSUE THAT, UM, GIVEN WHAT WE'RE ALREADY LEARNING FROM OFO BIKE, THAT THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN PICKING IT BICYCLES, THAT WE WOULD JUST BE BACK IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
THE OTHER OPTION IS WE, UH, PUT OUT THE OPTION OF A PILOT PROGRAM, A SHORT, A SHORT TERM PROGRAM WHERE WE WOULD ENTER, WE WOULD OFFER ANY COMPANY A SHORT TERM LEASE AGREEMENT.
GIVEN THE CURRENT MARKET, THERE'S PROBABLY ONLY ONE OR TWO OF THOSE COMPANIES THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ENTERTAINING THAT CONCEPT.
IT WOULD ALLOW THE CITY, IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, IT WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO HAVE SOME UM, LIMITS ON THE NUMBER OF BICYCLES IN THE CITY.
WE CAN EVEN LIMIT SCOOTERS OF THAT SOMETHING OR ELECTRIC SCOOTERS IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANTED TO ELIMINATE.
WE COULD IDENTIFY, ESTABLISH RULES AND REGULATIONS AND AS PART OF THAT VIOLATION OF THOSE RULES WOULD INCLUDE A FINE AS PART OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT.
AND THEN, UH, ONE THING THAT WE WOULD APPRECIATE IS SOME DATA THAT THEY COLLECT THESE GPS DEVICES BECOME THESE, THESE ENORMOUS TOOLS FOR LOOKING AT BICYCLE PATTERNS AND TRAVEL PATTERNS.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD UTILIZE AS PART OF OUR TRAFFIC
[01:35:01]
STUDIES AND AS PART OF OUR BIKE PLAN.UM, AND THEN, UH, THOSE COMPANIES THAT ARE NOT INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND UNDER THIS SCENARIO THAT WE TAKE A MORE HEAVY HANDED APPROACH SIMILAR TO THAT OF CORNETTO.
UM, LAST SLIDE STAFF'S HERE TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
AND ULTIMATELY STAFF IS SEEKING DIRECTION OF OF WORK.
COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO GO WITH THIS AND WE'LL BRING SOMETHING BACK BASED ON THAT DIRECTION.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S START WITH QUESTIONS.
COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS? BEN? I READ THE REPORT, GRAHAM AND IT WAS PRETTY THOROUGH.
I DIDN'T SEE THE ANSWER IN IT.
UM, YOU MENTIONED JUST STICKING TO THE STATISTICS FROM ALCOHOL AND ABOUT THREE BICYCLES ENABLED 22 DISABLED.
UM, IS THERE A WAY THAT A COMPANY COULD KNOW WHEN THE GPS HAS BEEN DISABLED? UM, IN REAL TIME? UM, AS OPPOSED TO I THINK CAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY CAN, THEY DON'T HAVE IT RIGHT NOW WHERE THEY KNOW, UH, IT'S JUST, IT'S A, BECOMES A BIKE THAT IS UNSERVICEABLE AND THEN WE SEE A HOMELESS PEOPLE DRIVING IT CAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE THAT.
AM I CORRECT? UM, MR CHUTE AND I MET WITH SOME FOLKS FROM LION BIKE ABOUT A YEAR AGO ACTUALLY.
AND I DON'T, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO KNOW THE INSTANCE THAT THAT BIKES, GPS DEVICES BEEN MODIFIED.
I COULD BE WRONG, BUT I KNOW THAT THEY CAN SEE IT ON A MAP AND IDENTIFY IF SOMETHING GOES MISSING OR IT STAYS IN THE SAME PLACE.
I THINK, I THINK THEY BASE IT OFF OF AN ACTIVITY AND THEN THEY'LL KNOW, UH, BASED ON WHERE YOU KNOW, THAT GPS WAS THROWN IN A DUMPSTER OR WHATEVER.
UM, IS IT THEN, IS IT THEN SAFE TO ASSUME THAT, UM, MO, IT WOULD BE REALLY HARD TO STOP PEOPLE FROM IMPORTING THESE IN? SO IF, IF SOMEBODY WAS LIKE IN SAN DIEGO AND THEN THEY REMOVE THE GPS SYSTEM AND, AND THEIR BUDDY PICKS THEM UP, PUTS IT IN THEIR TRUNK, BRINGS IT HERE, UTILIZES IT AS WHATEVER.
I MEAN, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, UH, TO, TO REGULATE UNLESS IT'S CONFINED TO STRATEGIC DOCKING PLACES WITH THE FINE BEING TO THE PERSON WHO USED IT LAST.
LIKE I'M A CAPITALIST SO I, I DON'T WANT TO LIKE TO FIND THE COMPANY BECAUSE CAUSE THEY, THEY HAVE, THEY HAD THIS MODEL LIKE YOU SHOW, LIKE THEY HAVE THIS PERFECT PICTURE MODEL OF HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AND THEN, AND PEOPLE, UH, ARE PEOPLE AND SO THEY'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, DO WHATEVER IT IS.
BUT I THINK EVEN USING THIS STATISTIC FOR ALCOHOL AND IT'S LIKE THREE TO 22.
SO YOU, IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT THE 22 ARE HOMELESS PEOPLE THAT TOOK IT OFF.
AND THEN THEY, CAUSE I SEE HIM EVERYWHERE THAT I SEE THEM.
I SEE THEM BEING USED BY PEOPLE MINUS THE, UH, THE GPS.
SO I THINK, UH, YOU KNOW, LOOKING INTO HOW, HOW TO MAKE IT IN REAL TIME TO KNOW, HEY, THIS THING IS GOING ON BECAUSE A GEO FENCE CAUSE YOU, YOU, YOU CAN ELIMINATE A GEO FENCE BY PICKING UP THE BIKE AND, YOU KNOW, MOVING, I JUST DON'T SEE HOW WE CAN REALLY REGULATE IT.
I LIKED THE ONE COMPANY APPROACH WHERE, WHERE, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY GET, THEY GET CONTRACTS AND THEY, AND THEY PAY.
WHAT WAS THE PAY THAT THEY HAD TO BUY IN? HOW MUCH, IF THAT'S THE ROUTE.
WELL WAS IT SO IN, IN UH, SEATTLE, IT'S $250 AND THEN $50 PER BIKE.
YEAH, THAT'S A, THAT'S A GOOD MODEL.
AS LONG AS THE, AND THEN, BUT MAKING THEM DOC, LIKE WHEN I GO TO CHICAGO AND THEY HAVE THE, YOU KNOW, IF FIVE YEARS AGO THEY WERE ALL DOCKING IN ONE PLACE, ALL IN LINE.
UH, MOST PEOPLE DON'T USE THEM LIKE THAT.
AND SO THAT BECOMES A PROBLEM.
LIKE YOU WERE SAYING THE LAST, THE LAST MILE.
ONE IS YOU LIMIT IT TO ONE COMPANY AND CHARGE THEM.
AND IF THERE'S OPERA, YOU KNOW, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY THAT WAY.
BUT, BUT THE FINE IT APPEARS TO ME SHOULD GO TO THE LAST PERSON WHO USED IT BECAUSE IF YOU'RE TRYING TO UM, KIND OF DIRECT BEHAVIOR, IT'S NOT THE COMPANY.
THE COMPANY DOESN'T WANT THE BIKE TO BE THROWN IN A TREE.
IT WOULD BE THE LAST PERSON WHO USED IT AND IF THEY GET FINED THERE AREN'T, THEY WON'T DO IT AGAIN ANYWAY, THAT'S MY 2 CENTS.
BUT IT WAS A REALLY GOOD REPORT BOB AND THEN STEVE.
IF YOU FIND THE LAST PERSON THAT USED IT, HOW TO, HOW DOES HE KNOW THAT SOMEBODY'S HOMELESS GUY ISN'T GOING TO PICK IT UP, DISABLE IT AND THEN START USING IT? UH, THERE'S NO WAY FOR THE LAST PERSON, UH, TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THAT BIKE AFTER HE PUTS IT IN A RESPONSIBLE PLACE.
IF HE DOES ACTUALLY TAKE A PHOTO OF IT.
IT WAS THE WAY IT WORKS IS ONCE YOU ARE FINISHED USING IT, LET'S SAY YOU RIDE IT TO PARKWAY PLAZA AND YOU LEAVE IT ON THE SIDEWALK THERE, YOU WOULD ACTUALLY LOCK IT IN.
ONCE THE BIKE IS LOCKED, THEN YOU'RE, YOU ARE NO LONGER IN POSSESSION OF THE BICYCLE, YOUR CHARGES TURN OFF.
[01:40:01]
WOULD BE THE LAST TO USE IT, BUT THEY COULD SEE WHERE YOU DOCKED IT.NOW IF IT SHOWS UP THREE BLOCKS SOMEWHERE ELSE AND, AND YOU NEVER RE ENGAGE, THEN THEY'LL KNOW THAT SOMEBODY ILLEGALLY TOOK THAT BICYCLE.
BUT THERE'S, THERE'S ALSO THE THING WHERE THEY TAKE A PHOTO OF IT, UH, LIKE WITH, UM, THAT SCOOTER, THE BLACK ONE, THE BIRDS.
YOU, YOU, YOU TAKE A PHOTO OF WHERE YOU LEFT IT AND THAT SEEMS TO BE A GOOD IDEA.
WELL, WERE YOU FINISHED YOUR, TAKE A PHOTO ANYWHERE AND SAY, THIS IS THE PHOTO I TOOK AND IT COULD BE ANYWHERE AND THEN YOU COULD PARK IT SOMEPLACE ELSE.
SO IT WOULDN'T, I DON'T THINK THAT IS A FOOLPROOF METHOD.
BUT, UM, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS, BUT I THINK THAT IT, I SAW A COUPLE KIDS DRIVING THEM OR RIDING THEM YESTERDAY.
I THINK THEY WERE ON SECOND STREET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND THEY OBVIOUSLY WERE PROBABLY DISABLED BECAUSE THE APPEARANCE WAS THAT THEY WEREN'T SOMEBODY THAT WOULD HAVE A SMART PHONE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO THEY'RE ALL OVER AND UH, I THINK IT'S, IT'S A PROBLEM WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT AND UH, MAYBE CORN AUTO HAS GOT THE RIGHT IDEA.
IN FACT, I READ IN AN ARTICLE THAT UM, THEY'VE INFORMED THEIR RENDERS, DON'T GO TO ODDO AND UH, IF THEY DO WELL AND UH, THE RENDERS GET FINE.
SO MAYBE THAT WOULD BE AN ANSWER.
STEVE, YOU'RE AN EX STEPH REPORT HAD A LINE BIKE, WAS RESPONSIVE WITHIN 24 TO 48 HOURS OF COMPLAINTS AND OFER WAS NONRESPONSIVE OF THE THREE ENABLED AND 22 DISABLED.
DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT 22 DISABLED BY BRAND IF MR. RICHARDS IS HERE? I DIDN'T DO THE SURVEY, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT COUNCIL MEMBER, MAYBE MR. RICHARDS CAN COME DOWN.
SO, SO GENERALLY MR. RICHARDS, HOW MANY WERE OF DIFFERENT BRANDS THAT YOU SAW TODAY? YEAH.
UM, ALL BUT ONE WAS YELLOW, SO IT'S M O FALL I BELIEVE.
AND THEN THERE WAS ONE SCOOTER THAT WAS FULLY LOADED WITH STUFF AND I W USING THE APP IDENTIFIED THAT THERE WERE THE, THE THREE, UM, THE THREE ENABLED BIKES WERE
THERE WERE NO ENABLED BIKES VIA THE APP ONLINE BIKE TODAY.
SO IF THERE WERE ANY LINE BIKES, THEY WERE DISABLED OR NOT SHOWING UP ON THE APP.
TO CLARIFY, DAVE, SAY IT OUT OF THE 22, ONE WAS ALIGNED BIKE 21 WAS OVAL.
ONE OF THE SCOOTERS, THE BLACK SCOOTERS YOU CAN RENT AND THEN THE REST WERE ALL THE YELLOW BIKES.
ONE BIRD 21 OH FOES 24 THREE FOUR OH FIVE.
WELL, IT APPEARS TO ME THAT AT ANY GIVEN TIME, ONLY 12% OF THOSE ARE BEING USED LEGITIMATELY.
AND 88% ARE NOT BEING USED LEGITIMATELY.
AND I SEE THEM STREWN ALL OVER SIDEWALKS AND BUSHES, PARTIALLY DIS DISMANTLED.
IT'S REALLY AN ICER IN OUR CITY AND THERE ARE STREWN ACROSS A SIDEWALK, WHICH WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR SOMEONE THAT'S DISABLED.
AND UH, SO I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF A VERY STRICT REGULATIONS PROBABLY LOOKING AT THE CORNETTO.
IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE
SO A STAFF, I THINK YOU'VE GOT A SENSE OF THE DIRECTION OF THE COUNCIL.
DO YOU WANT A MORE FORMALIZED DIRECTION OR DO YOU, CAN YOU TAKE IT FROM HERE? I THINK THAT'S HELPFUL.
WELL SO I SUGGEST THEN THAT WE PASS A STAFF WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY COME BACK WITH AND WE CAN MAKE A FINAL DECISION PROBABLY AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.
IT PROBABLY WON'T BE THE NEXT MEETING.
I'LL PROBABLY BE IN TWO MEETINGS FROM NOW.
BUT WE HAVE TO DO, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.
SO I, I KNEW I WAS GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE THERE.
SO, ANGELA, DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKER CURVES FOR THIS? WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER, PAUL HASSAN.
GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, ANDY HANSHAW, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY BICYCLE COALITION.
[01:45:01]
KINDA WANTED TO, UH, APPLAUD YOUR PROACTIVE APPROACH ON THIS.AND, UH, THE STAFF REPORT WAS, UH, VERY THOROUGH, VERY DETAILED, AND UNLIKE, UH, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF WE'RE, WE'RE TAGLESS BIKES.
THIS SORT OF JUST HAPPENED NATURALLY.
YOU'RE, YOU'RE LOOKING INTO AN A, IT'S A, IT'S A SMART MOVE.
SO I, I COMMEND THE CITY FOR THAT.
WE, WE ACTUALLY CONSULTED A LITTLE BIT ON, ON THE REPORT AS WELL, AND WE'VE ALL LEARNED A LOT, UH, IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS.
UM, IT'S NOT PERFECT ANYWHERE, BUT I DO THINK, UH, IT'S CLEAR THAT RIDERSHIP IS, IS CERTAINLY SPIKED.
UH, IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO HAVE THAT DATA.
UH, ACCESS IS, IS ONE OF THE, THE POINTS THAT YOU, UH, THAT YOU BROUGHT UP TO HAVE AFTER ACCESS TO THAT DATA.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT CAN HELP YOU PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE WHERE PEOPLE ARE RIDING AND WHERE YOUR DANGEROUS SPOTS ARE, WHERE, WHERE ARE YOU WANNA MAKE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS? SO IT'S ABOUT BUILDING OUT THE NETWORK AND NOW IT'S ALSO ABOUT PROVIDING, UM, ACCESSIBLE AND EQUITABLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS. SO, UM, THAT'S WHAT THE TACO SPIKES ARE ABOUT.
THEY'RE PROVIDING A LOT OF ACCESS.
SO PUTTING A HEAVY REGULATIONS ON IT, I WOULD, I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE AGAINST THAT BECAUSE I THINK THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT, THAT ACTUALLY WANT TO USE THEM AND USE THEM THE RIGHT WAY.
UM, SO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS.
HOW'S THE LIABILITY ISSUE COMING ALONG? SO MY 14 YEAR OLD DRIVES ONE OF THESE SCOOTERS AND BREAKS HIS FEVER.
UM, DOES, DOES THE PERSON BELIEVES IS THE COMPANY THAT I THINK YOU HAVE TO BE 18 TO RIDE THOSE.
SO MY 18 YEAR OLD BRACES FEVER.
SO, UH, WHAT, WHAT'S THE WHO, WHO HAS LIABILITY? I THINK SIMILAR TO, UH, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE SIGNING A WAIVER OR WHATNOT WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU CHECK IT OUT ON THE APP, IF I'M CORRECT.
UM, SO THEY'RE NOT, ARE A CITY'S REQUIRING THEM TO GET LIABILITY INSURANCE OR I HAVEN'T ACCESS TO THAT DATA BUT THEY MIGHT.
YEAH, IT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO FOR SURE.
BUT, UM, I'VE SEEN IT AS AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM.
I THINK IT'S WORKING IN A LOT OF OTHER CITIES.
I DO THINK YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING AND, AND UH, LOOKING AT OPTIONS AND I DO LIKE, UH, THE NORTH COUNTY APPROACH OF SORT OF, UH, COLLABORATING TOGETHER TO MAKE IT A MULTI-CITY UH, APPROACH AS WELL.
SO, UM, JUST, JUST, AND WE'RE HERE AS A RESOURCE, UH, DOWN AS YOU GO THROUGH THIS.
I JUST WANTED TO OFFER THAT UP TO APPRECIATE IT BEFORE YOU GO.
I THINK WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION, CHRIS, BEFORE YOU READY.
MY QUESTION TO YOU IS HOW DO YOU SEE THEM? HOW HAVING VALUE IN EL CAHONE? UH, THE BIKES HAVE BEEN HERE PROBABLY AT LEAST FIVE MONTHS.
TODAY'S SNAPSHOT SURVEY WAS THREE ABLED 22 DISABLED.
HOW IS THIS A GOOD FIT, IN MY OPINION, FOR ALCOHOL, IF YOU'RE EMBRACING IT, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE AS A GOOD MOBILITY OPTION, WHICH IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, THIS IS ABOUT PROVIDING THAT TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY TO OPTION THAT'S ALTERNATIVE TO YOUR CAR, THAT SUPPORTS YOUR, YOUR WORK ON CLIMATE PLANS AND, AND REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS AND DO AND PROVIDING A SAFE, HEALTHY, ACTIVE, UH, TRANSPORTATION MODE FOR, FOR YOUR RESIDENTS.
THEN IF YOU'RE TAKING THAT APPROACH TO IT, THEN I THINK, UM, YOU CAN, YOU CAN, YOU CAN SET IT UP THE RIGHT WAY.
YOU CAN WORK WITH THE COMPANY WITH THOSE GOALS IN MIND.
AND THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
AND, UM, AND SO, SO, YOU KNOW, BIKES THAT ARE COMING OVER HERE NOW, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE COMING OVER HERE, UH, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO BE RETRIEVED OR WHATNOT, BUT IF THE CITY IS GOING TO EMBRACE THE SYSTEM, UH, AND MANAGE IT WITH THE COMPANY, THEN I THINK IT COULD BE A VERY GOOD, UH, HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE FOR TRANSPORTATION.
HOW WOULD YOU SUGGEST WE MEASURED THE DEMAND FOR THE SPIKE IN OKLAHOMA? UH, DATA? UM, WATCH THE USAGE GO UP.
I MEAN I SAW IT RIGHT AWAY WHEN, WHEN THEY PUT THE BIKES OUT ON THE STREET AND SAN DIEGO PEOPLE JUST STARTED RIDING THEM, UM, A LOT AND, UM, AND, AND THEY'RE BEING USED.
UH, SO AND I WOULD, UH, I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU AND I KNOW IMPERIAL BEACH HAS A MATTER OF FACT, UH, WHEN THEY SET UP THE SYSTEM AS A PILOT, UH, THEY DID IT WITH LINE BIKE AND THEY, THEY, THEY DID ACCESS THEIR DATA, UM, AS A PART OF THAT AGREEMENT.
SO I WOULD, I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE A HELPFUL TOOL TO ME.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
THE CITY STAFF, WHATEVER DATA YOU CAN GATHER BEFORE YOU MAKE A PRESENTATION WOULD CERTAINLY ADD MORE TO THE DISCUSSION.
ANY OTHER, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER, A NUMBER OF SPEAKERS? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT THE CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING SO THAT AGAIN, MOVING SECRETARY, PLEASE VOTE MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
SO I THINK THAT THE, UH, STAFF ALREADY HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF DIRECTION FROM YOUR COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS.
WOULD ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO SPECIFICALLY ADD ANYTHING TO, UH, YOU MENTIONED THE GRAM THAT BEFORE HE COMES BACK AND BRINGS US A SUGGESTION.
SO GRAHAM, I THINK YOU'RE, YOU'RE SET.
WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ANY KIND OF ACTION ON THIS, RIGHT? ALL RIGHT.
[20. Release Balance of Civil Penalties Held in Abeyance for Valley Motel - 585 North Mollison Avenue RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: Releases $44,993 in established civil penalties held in abeyance for the Valley Motel at 585 North Mollison Avenue, and Directs staff to release the Notice of Restriction previously filed against the property.]
TO THE VALLEY[01:50:01]
MOTEL AND STAFF.WOULD YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS PLACE? HI.
THIS ONE APPEARED FIRST IN 2005, 2015 IN FRONT OF COUNCIL.
IT ACTUALLY STARTED IN OCTOBER OF 2014 WITH A REFERRAL THAT CAME TO BUILD AND FIRE SAFETY.
WE WENT OUT TO THIS PROPERTY, DID SOME INSPECTION WORK, FOUND THAT IT WAS IN A SUBSTANDARD CONDITION.
UH, WE WORKED WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER TO TRY AND CORRECT SOME THINGS, DIDN'T IT? DIDN'T GO WELL AT FIRST.
A COUNCIL DID IMPOSE CIVIL PENALTIES.
UH, CIVIL PENALTIES BEGAN TO ACCRUE.
AND THEN FINALLY WHEN WE DID REACH A COMPLIANCE ON JANUARY 27TH OF 2015 WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR FINAL RESOLUTION.
AT THAT TIME, ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, COUNSEL DETERMINED THAT THEY WANTED TO AXIOM IMPOSE CIVIL PENALTIES FOR $50,000 AT THE OWNER WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD.
HE HAS PAID THAT A CITY COUNCIL WANTED TO HOLD THE REMAINING AMOUNT, THE 44,000, $993 IN A BAND FOR THREE YEARS AT WHICH TIME WE WOULD INSPECT AGAIN, SEE WHAT KIND OF CONDITIONS THE PROPERTY WAS IN.
AND THEN COUNCIL WOULD MAKE A DECISION ON, ON RELEASING THAT, UH, THAT AMOUNT OF CIVIL PENALTIES THAT WERE HELD IN A BAND'S, UH, WE HAVE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY OR A COUPLE MINOR THINGS THAT WE SAW THAT THEY CORRECTED.
UH, AND UH, SO NOW WE'RE BRINGING IT BACK TO COUNCIL TO SEE WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO.
OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT YOU, UH, GO AHEAD AND WAIVE THE CIVIL PENALTIES THAT ARE HELD IN THE BAND'S SUPER, UH, A QUESTIONS UP.
YOU SAID THEY WERE MINOR INFRACTIONS.
UM, WHAT WOULD HAVE MADE MINOR INFRACTION BE LIKE MINOR INFRACTION WOULD BE LIKE A S A SMOKE DETECTOR THAT WASN'T IN PLACE.
UH, MAYBE AN ELECTRICAL CORD BY KIND OF REMEMBERING CAUSE OF THE THINGS WE SAW THAT WAS HANGING DOWN FROM A SCENE THAT NEEDED TO BE REATTACHED, SOME FAIRLY, FAIRLY MINOR THINGS COMPARED, YOU KNOW, IN COMPARISON WHEN WE FIRST INSPECTED IT WAS IN VERY, VERY, VERY BAD CONDITION WHEN WE FIRST INSPECTED.
AND THE MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT'S BEEN GOOD THERE.
SO THERE HADN'T BEEN ANY MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS LIKE THERE WAS BEFORE AND YEAH, THE MANAGEMENT IS A LOT BETTER.
UM, QUESTION, EH, ANY CHANGE IN THE NUMBER OF POLICE CALLS? UH, PLEASE CALLS FOR SERVICE HAVE GONE DOWN.
UH, THERE, THERE ARE ABOUT WHAT YOU KIND OF EXPECT FOR A COMPLEX, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE PER UNIT PER YEAR AS POLICE CALLS FOR SERVICES.
KIND OF LIKE THAT NOW BALLPARK, WHERE YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE NORMAL CALLS FOR SERVICE.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, THIS, THIS COMPLEX HAS I THINK, 18 UNITS AND SO YOU EXPECT ABOUT 18 CALLS FOR SERVICE PER YEAR AND YOU CONSIDER THAT TO BE NORMAL AND THAT'S ABOUT WHERE THEY'RE AT.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR YOUR PORT.
UM, AND WE'LL DO THESE B CARDS ON THIS ITEM.
WE HAVE ONE FROM SHONDA WILSON.
MS. WILSON, WELCOME MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I'M THE MANAGER, UM, IN SO FAR AS WHAT HE HAD SAID, THERE WERE SOME MINOR THINGS THAT WE DID NEED TO CORRECT, ONE OF WHICH WAS WAS A BATTERY BEING REPLACED, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
THEY GAVE ME INAPPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF TIME TO CORRECT IT AND I HAD DONE SO WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
I JUST SIMPLY DID NOT KNOW TO LOOK FOR THOSE ITEMS NEEDING TO BE DONE.
I HAVE SINCE BEEN EDUCATED, LEARNED A LOT MORE.
UM, WE ARE CONSTANTLY UPGRADING THE ROOMS. WE ARE IN FACT IN THE PROCESS OF, IN FACT HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED REMOVING ALL OF THE CARPET FLOORING.
WE'VE PUT NEW WOOD FLOORING IN AND ARE UPGRADING ALL OF THE FURNISHINGS AND EVERYTHING IN A CONSTANT EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE PROPERTY.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR BOB? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THE MANAGER? SINCE ABOUT, UH, THREE DAYS AFTER THE PREVIOUS MANAGER WAS REMOVED.
LOOK, I'M LEARNING STEP-BY-STEP.
WELL, YOU'VE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB.
SO, UH, WE'RE PROUD OF YOUR WORK THAT YOU DO AND YOU'VE KEPT IT ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW AND THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE.
ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS, MA'AM? THANK YOU FOR COMING.
ALL RIGHT, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO I THINK THEY HAVE LIVED UP TO THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN.
I THINK IT'S TIME FOR US TO LIVE UP TO OUR END OF THE BARGAIN.
[01:55:02]
JERRY? THEY DID EXACTLY WHAT WE ASKED THEM TO DO.SO I THINK IT'S TIME TO RELEASE RELEASED EMOTION.
WE RELEASED THE $44,993 IN ESTABLISH CIVIL PENALTIES HELD IN A BANDS FOR THE VALIUM WOULD TELL AT FIVE 85 NORTH MOLLISON AVENUE AND DIRECT TO STAFF TO RELEASE THE NOTICE OF RESTRICTION PREVIOUSLY FILED AGAINST THE PROPERTY.
SECOND MOVING SECOND AND PLEASE VOTE.
MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
THANK YOU FOR WORKING SO HARD.
WELL, THERE ARE NO COMMISSIONER REPORTS TODAY.
[13. ACTIVITIES REPORTS/COMMENTS OF MAYOR WELLS: SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments); League of California Cities, San Diego Division; Heartland Fire Training JPA - Alternate; Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee; LAFCO.]
19 IS MY ACTIVITY REPORT IS AS REPORTED.I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT AS A LEGISLATIVE UPDATE TODAY.
AND WE ARE NOW AT THE ACTIVITIES
[14. ACTIVITIES REPORTS/COMMENTS OF COUNCILMEMBERS:]
REPORT FOR PORES FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS.MAYOR PRO TEM GARY KENDRICK AS REPORTED COUNCIL MEMBER BOB MCCLELLAN AS REPORTED BY BEN COLLAZO.
THEY ALWAYS HAVE REPORTED THEM.
OH, I, I APOLOGIZE IT STEVE, GO AHEAD AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR ACTIVITIES REPORT REPORTING AND THEN BEN.
I THINK ITEM 26 IS YOURS IF YOU'D LIKE.
UH, YOU RECENTLY, UH, PLAYED A TINY, TINY PART IN, UM, DONATING TO A BACKPACK SCHOOL DRIVE OF SORTS, UH, IN SANTI UNDER I THINK, UH, ORGANIZATIONS, SMALL WHACK, UM, AND IT WAS REALLY WELL ATTENDED.
THEY, THEY GATHERED SCHOOL SUPPLIES, BACKPACKS, PENCILS, PENS AND ALL THAT, UM, FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDERPRIVILEGED OR COULDN'T AFFORD IT OR JUST JUST TO HELP OUT.
SO I, LIKE I SAID, I MADE A SMALL, TINY CONTRIBUTION TO IT AND, UH, IT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL AND THERE'S A TON OF PEOPLE.
THE COMMUNITY, IT WAS A NEEDED, UH, YOU KNOW, THING FOR THE COMMUNITY AT NIGHT.
I WOULD PROBABLY SAY THAT IN OKLAHOMA IT WOULD BE NEEDED MORE.
AND I SAY THAT KNOWING THAT THERE ARE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT DO SIMILAR STUFF LIKE THAT, UH, WITHIN THEIR ORGANIZATION ON A SMALLER SCALE.
BUT I, UH, IN SANTEE WHAT HAPPENED WAS THEY, I THINK THEY GOT THE WHOLE CITY KIND OF BEHIND IT, UM, AS THAT SOLE MISSION AND IT WORKED OUT.
SO I'D LIKE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT HERE AND I'LL CALL IN FOR NEXT YEAR, UH, BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS TO HELP OUT THE KIDS.
UM, AND MAYBE AT THE CAHONE LIBRARY AS THE PICKUP DATE, CAUSE THEY USE THE SANTEE LIBRARY AND I DON'T HAVE A TIME OR AN A AND I DON'T HAVE A DATE.
I, I, I, I WOULD PROBABLY JUST MIRROR WHATEVER THEY DID IN SANTEE CAUSE IT SEEMED TO WORK REALLY WELL.
AND A BUDDY ROBIA WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO SPEAK HERE TODAY HAD IT FAMILY EMERGENCY, BUT HE WAS GONNA COME SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF IT.
SO, UM, WHAT IS THE ASK THEN? I THINK GRAHAM, IF I RECALL BETWEEN OUR CORRESPONDENCE, IT WAS JUST THAT THE CITY ENDORSED THE IDEA CAUSE IT'S, IT'S NO FISCAL IMPACT.
IT'S JUST LIKE IT ENDORSES THE IDEA AND PROMOTES IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT CAUSE I THINK IT, IT'S PRETTY ORGANIC.
COUNSEL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NO.
THE FIRST SPEAKER IS SUNSHINE HORTON.
HI, MY NAME IS SAM CHANG HORTON AND I'M HERE TO GIVE MY OPINION ON THAT IDEA.
UM, I'VE DONE A LOT FOR THIS CITY AND I USUALLY PAID WITH MY HUSBAND'S MONEY LIKE ALWAYS AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA BUT I WISH THAT THE PERSON THAT IS COMING WITH IT, WE'LL PACK IT UP WITH THE BACKPACKS, GET ALL THE BACKPACKS OUT OF HIS MONEY AND HIMSELF GO GET DONATIONS FOR THE PANTS AND EVERYTHING.
I SAY TOM CHANG HORTON IS DOING THIS.
WOULD YOU BACK ME UP WITH THINGS? AND I WOULD GO COLLECT THEM AND I WOULD PAY FOR THE BIGGEST PART OF IT, WHICH IS THE BACKPACKS.
I WOULD FIND OUT FIRST HOW MANY KIDS IN WHAT SCHOOLS AND WHAT GRADES AND ALL THAT BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF WORK AND I DON'T THINK THAT CITY DESERVES TO GET WORK.
THAT IS ONLY A SIMPLE IDEA UNLESS IT'S PUT TOGETHER THAT WAY, YOU KNOW I'M DOING THIS AND I'M GOING TO PAY FOR THE BACKPACKS AND THEN I'M GOING TO GET FOR THE EVERYTHING THAT I NEED TO BUY THE PENCILS AND ALL THAT OR I'M GOING TO CREATE A PICNIC AND HAVE PEOPLE COME AND DONATE OR ME, ME, ME.
THEN ONCE THAT PERSON GETS IT TOGETHER,
[02:00:01]
THEN I, SHE USED HER GREAT IDEA, BUT RIGHT NOW WHAT I SEE HERE IS A LOT OF WORK, A LOT OF WORK FOR THE CITY IN SOMETHING THAT THE PERSON WOULD, THE IDEA SHOULD COME HERE.WHAT ARE THE DETAILS AND EVERYTHING, PLAN AND SEE HOW HE'S GOING TO DO IT.
JOE BARTOW, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, BARTOW.
HOW ARE YOU? I'M NOT USED TO BEING ON THIS SIDE OF THE DIOCESE, BUT I WANTED TO COME AND SPEAK ON THE BACKPACK PROGRAM.
I LOVE PROGRAMS THAT HELP STUDENTS.
I HAVE BEEN FOR, SINCE MY KIDS WERE LITTLE KIDS.
I'VE BEEN ON A BOARD FOR 24 YEARS, SO THIS REALLY TOUCHES MY HEART.
BACKPACK SUPPLIES AT THE START OF SCHOOL ARE VERY APPROPRIATE TO GIVE OUT TO STUDENTS, BUT WE ARE HAVE NONPROFITS WORKING ON THIS THROUGHOUT OKLAHOMA.
NEW HOPE CENTER, TRANSITIONAL LIVING CENTER, EAST COUNTY POSSE COPS, SAN DIEGO UNION STUFF.
I WOULD SUGGEST INSTEAD OF TAKING IT ON YOURSELF AS A CITY TO SUPPORT THESE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE DOING THIS, HELP THEM EXPAND SO WE CAN MAKE IT A GREAT PROGRAM LIKE SANTI WAS THIS YEAR.
I THINK THEY DID A BRILLIANT JOB IN CNT.
I COULD SEE THAT HAPPENING IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY WITH THESE ORGANIZATIONS BACKING IT, BUT JUST TO START A NEW PROGRAM THAT OFFERS CURRENTLY WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS ARE DOING CONFUSES ONLY TO THE THE SUPPORTERS AND THE PARENTS.
ALSO IT DOESN'T HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE PARENTS TO BE ABLE TO GO TO DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS TO GET DONATIONS SO WE CAN ACTUALLY HELP MORE STUDENTS IF IT'S ALL DONE THROUGH CERTAIN ORGANIZATIONS.
SO ONE CARROT CAN'T COME AND GET BACK PATCH THREE OR FOUR TIMES, BUT SUPPORTING AN ORGANIZATION THAT ALREADY PROVIDES SERVICES IS MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE CITY, I THINK AT THE CITY WOULD LOVE, I THINK THESE ORGANIZATIONS WOULD LOVE TO SEE, TO PUT A BIG BOX IN THERE, IN THERE FOR
AND THE DEPARTMENTS HAVE A DONATION CAMPAIGN SUCH AS CITY OF OKLAHOMA OR CITY OF SANTEE DID.
I THINK THEY WOULD LOVE THE DONATIONS.
THEY WOULD ALSO LOVE YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS.
I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT FOR THE CITY TO DO IT.
WHEN WE HAVE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE DOING THAT.
YOU DIDN'T WANT THE CITY TO DO IT.
IT'S WRITTEN LIKE HOW CNT DID IT.
AND THE ONLY THING THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA AND TO, UH, TO, TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT'S HAPPENING THE NIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN I SAID THAT.
I UNDERSTAND ORGANIZATIONS DO IT SIMILAR TO SANTI, BUT YOU CAN'T ARGUE THAT IT WORKED PHENOMENALLY IN SANTI.
SO WHY, WHY, WHY ARE YOU ROBBING THE KIDS IN OUR CITY HAVE THAT SAME OPPORTUNITY.
YOU'RE, YOU'RE A BOARD MEMBER.
YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
AND I THINK THAT WAS, THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR.
IT NOT SAYING THAT WE NEED ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ALREADY DOING IT TO EXPAND THOSE ORGANIZATIONS.
I AM NOT SAYING TO TAKE AWAY FROM OUR STUDENTS.
I WANT MORE PROGRAMS. SO THIS WOULD BE A MORE PROGRAM T WOULD BE PHENOMENAL.
I THINK USING AN ORGANIZATION AND OWNING THAT ORGANIZATION WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
I JUST DON'T, I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW IT WOULD BE FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT, HOW THAT WOULD HELP THOSE ORGANIZATIONS UNLESS THEY WERE CONNECTED.
THE ASK TODAY IS THAT THE PROGRAM WORKED IN SANTEE, LIKE YOU ACKNOWLEDGED AND WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE WHO SET IT UP LIKE I'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH AND GETTING GETTING RIGHT AND GETTING THAT A SIMILAR PROGRAM HERE, KNOWING THAT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS DO IT.
SO AGAIN, I ASKED YOU WHY DO YOU THINK IS, OR THE PEOPLE IN SAN SMARTER THAN US OR MORE DESERVING.
WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT? I NEVER SAID THAT.
WHY WOULD YOU SAY IT DOESN'T WORK HERE? IT'S NOT AS, IT HAS NOT BEEN AS SUCCESSFUL IN OKLAHOMA.
WE HAVE A HIGHER NEED IN EL CAHONE.
SANTI IS MORE OF AN FLUENT AREA.
IT'S MOST OF CNT THAN ALCOHOL.
WE HAVE A LOT MORE NEEDS FOR OUR STUDENTS IN
I AM NOT SAYING THAT I THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US.
I THINK WE CAN BECOME THE BEST RIGHT IN EAST COUNTY RATHER.
THAT'D BE CMT, COHO VALLEY OR ELKA HOUND OR LA MESA.
SO LET'S, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS LAST THING.
DO YOU THINK THAT UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN NEED ASSISTANCE IN GOING BACK TO SCHOOL WITH NOT ONLY BACKPACKS BUT OTHER, OTHER, UH, ITEMS FOR THE CITY? GREAT.
[02:05:03]
ARE THERE ANY MORE SPEAK CARDS? NO MORE CARDS HERE.I HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION THEN THE CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
THOUGHTS, WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO USE CITY RESOURCES TO COMPETE AGAINST PRIVATE RESOURCES TO TAKE AWAY FROM PRIVATE RESOURCES THAT UH, MIGHT BE DOING A GOOD JOB.
WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO CREATE A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM THAT COMPETES WITH THAT AND DISTRACTS WITH IT.
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DETAILS AT THIS POINT TO KNOW IF THAT WOULD OCCUR.
SO I WOULD SUGGEST SENDING THIS BACK TO MR COLLAGIO, UH, FOR FLUSHING OUT IN MORE DETAILS.
WHAT WOULD BE PROMOTED USING THE CITY'S RESOURCES? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION STEVE.
UM, THERE ARE, THERE WOULD BE ZERO CITY RESOURCES USED AND THIS ISN'T A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM, THIS IS COMPLETELY DESIGNED.
THE ONLY THING THE CITY WOULD DO IS TO JUST A BRAND AND ADVERTISE WHERE THE DROP OFF WOULD BE IN THE DATES.
SO IT'S THE RESOURCES I, UNLESS YOU'RE USING RESOURCES IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT, RESOURCES WOULD BE CITY STAFF TIME USED TO PROMOTE THE PROGRAM, WHICH WE DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS ABOUT YET.
SO I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN VOTE TO SAY LET'S USE CITY RESOURCES AND OUR PROGRAM THAT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YET.
SO WHEN SOMEBODY PUTS OUT A PRESS RELEASE CURRENTLY, LIKE THE GOOD ONES THAT MONICA PUTS OUT HER, HER PUTTING IN THE ONE LINER IS, IS A, IS A BIG HURDLE FOR YOU TO GET OVER.
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO VOTE WHETHER TO USE CITY RESOURCES ON A PROGRAM THAT I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION ON RIGHT NOW.
I KNOW YOU SAID THAT THREE TIMES, BUT WHAT INFORMATION ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? LIKE I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE DAY AND TIME.
WHAT SPECIFICALLY? SO I NEED TO KNOW MORE DETAILS ON THE PROGRAM.
WHERE IS IT GOING TO GO? WHO'S IT GOING TO BENEFIT, WHEN'S IT GONNA RUN? ARE YOU WORKING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO DO IT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH? UM, SO ACTUALLY I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO SEND THIS PRO, THIS ITEM BACK TO MR COLLAZO FOR MORE DETAILS AND MOSTLY ON THE FLOOR.
IS THERE A SECOND TICKET? SECONDED.
ONE VOTE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER COLLAGE, A VOTING, NO COUNCIL MEMBER GLOBAL.
YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT ITEM 28 AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING, WE HEARD A REPORT ABOUT SQUAD SIX AND I BELIEVE IT WAS CLOSE TO 2000 CALLS THAT SQUAD SIX HAS DONE IN THE SHORT SEVEN MONTHS THAT THE DATA REPRESENTED THAT THAT'S A LOT OF CALLS.
I BELIEVE BOTH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT LAST YEAR HAD DOUBLE DIGIT CALLS ME MORE THAN 10,000 CALLS FOR SERVICE.
AND CERTAINLY THE, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS MANY MORE UNANSWERED CALLS JUST DUE TO CALL VOLUME.
I BELIEVE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE USERS.
SOME USERS OF THE NINE ONE ONE SYSTEM THAT NOT ALL CALLS REALLY ARE AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
I'VE BEEN ON A RIDE ALONG WITH BOTH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND A POLICE DEPARTMENT.
I'D EXPERIENCED THOSE CALLS DURING MY RIDE ALONG THAT THEY WERE NOT INDEED EMERGENCY SITUATIONS OF, OF LIFE OR PROPERTY, UH, THREAT.
SO I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STAFF TO CREATE A PROGRAM TO EMPOWER POLICE OFFICERS, TO EMPOWER FIREFIGHTERS TO GIVE TO PEOPLE THAT THEY DEEM APPROPRIATE, UH, ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, WHICH MIGHT HELP STEER PEOPLE AWAY FROM CALLING NINE ONE ONE AND USING OTHER RESOURCES INSTEAD THAT COULD BE DONE VIA A PAMPHLET, COULD BE DONE VIA A PHONE CALL, WHATEVER STAFF DECIDES TO BRING BACK.
AND IN THAT SENSE, UH, IF WE HELP EDUCATE, UH, PERHAPS EVEN FREQUENT USERS OF THE NINE ONE ONE SYSTEM ABOUT WHAT IS A TRUE EMERGENCY, WE MAY ACTUALLY, UH, REDUCE OR, OR AT LEAST MAINTAIN CALL VOLUME.
I THINK THIS IMPORTANT TO NOT PORTRAY NINE ONE ONE RESPONDERS AS UNCARING OF, SO THEY WOULD HAVE THE JUDGMENT AND THE EMPOWERMENT TO DECIDE WHEN OR WHEN NOT TO PROVIDE THOSE RESOURCES.
BUT I THINK THERE ARE SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES HERE IN OKLAHOMA ON SOME OF THESE NINE ONE ONE CALLS, WHICH COULD ACTUALLY, UH, PROVIDE ONGOING ASSISTANCE TO THESE PEOPLE AND ENHANCE THEIR LIVES.
SO THAT MAY NOT NEED TO CALL NINE ONE ONE.
THESE WOULD BE SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES THAT MIGHT PROVIDE IN HOME VISITS THAT MIGHT PROVIDE MEALS, THAT MIGHT PROVIDE CHECKING ANY COMPANIONSHIP, THINGS THAT
[02:10:01]
SOME PEOPLE MIGHT BE USING.THE NINE ONE ONE SYSTEM FOR UH, TO CALL FOR A CHANGE OF BATTERIES AND A REMOTE CONTROL TO CALL TO GO GET PRESCRIPTIONS FROM A PHARMACY.
WE NEED TO CERTAINLY SAVE OUR NINE ONE ONE RESOURCES FOR TRUE EMERGENCIES.
I'M NOT SAYING WE'RE IN CARING, I'M NOT SAYING I DON'T WANT TO PUT OUR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS AT RISK FOR LIABILITY.
I WANT THE CITY STAFF TO COME BACK WITH EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND STRATEGIES TO REDUCE NINE ONE ONE CALLS.
AND THAT'S MY PROPOSAL TO SEND US TO STAFF FOR MORE INFORMATION.
ANY QUESTIONS OF SEE BEFORE? SEE IF THERE'S, YEAH, NOW I'M CONCERNED ABOUT RESOURCES, UH, WHO'S GOING TO PRINT THESE PAMPHLETS IF THAT'S THE ROUTE WE TAKE.
SO MY MOTION IS TO DIRECT STAFF TO INVESTIGATE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND STRATEGIES.
THIS WILL BE UP TO STAFF TO DECIDE IS THERE A PRINTED MATERIAL? IS IT A PHONE NUMBER? IS IT AN AGENCY? UH, MY DIRECTION HERE IS ASKING THE CITY COUNCIL, DIRECT THE STAFF TO INVESTIGATE THIS EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
I GUESS I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF PUTTING IT BACK ON YOU TO COME BACK TO US WITH MORE INFORMATION AS OPPOSED TO BURDENING STAFF WITH STAFF TIME AND RESOURCES.
AGAIN, MY, UH, MOTION IS TO ASK STAFF TO INVESTIGATE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND STRATEGIES.
I BELIEVE I'VE LAID OUT MY CASE TO THE COUNCIL.
IF YOU THINK THAT THIS IS NOT, I GET GOOD IDEA FOR POLICE AND FIRE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PRESENT THINGS TO PEOPLE TO REDUCE NON-HORMONE CALLS, THEN YOU SHOULD VOTE NO ON IT.
NO, I'M PREPARED TO LISTEN TO THAT.
YOU DIDN'T COME HERE TODAY WITH ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR ME TO MAKE THAT JUDGMENT CALL.
MY INFORMATION IS THAT WE SHOULD DIRECT STAFF TO FIND OUT THESE INVESTIGATION OPPORTUNITIES.
YOU CAN VOTE YES OR YOU CAN VOTE NO.
YOU HAVE A QUESTION? OH, I'LL SECOND THAT.
WELL, BEFORE I DO THAT THOUGH, LET ME, I GOTTA GO BACK TO ANGELA SO I DON'T GET IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
NO CARDS ARE, THERE ARE NO CARDS.
SO NOW WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.
MOTION CARRIES BY A FOUR OH ONE VOTE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER COLLAGE VOTING? NO.
THERE ARE NO JOINT COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS AND NO GENERAL INFORMATION ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION.
THERE ARE NO FIRST OR SECOND READINGS OF ORDINANCES TODAY AND WE ARE PAST CLOSED SESSION.
[23. CLOSED SESSIONS:]
CITY ATTORNEY.DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO, TO UM, REPORT OUT AFTER CLOSE SESSION? NO I DID NOT.
AND WE HAVE A SECOND CLOSE SESSION WE STILL NEED YOU TO HANDLE.
AS FOR ITEM NUMBER 29, THE CLOSED SESSION FOR ACCOUNT CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL ON EXISTING LITIGATION AND THE CITY COUNCIL GAVE DIRECTION TO THE CITY'S LEGAL COUNCIL AND NOW THE
