I'D LIKE TO INVITE RECREATION SERVICES SUPERVISOR, MILO LUTU TO SHARE IT WITH US ABOUT THIS DAY.

YEAH, YEAH.

YOU'VE COME HERE.

THAT'S WHERE I CAN SEE YOU.

MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT EVERYBODY ON.

HERE YOU GO, SIR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CAN YOU MAKE ANY PHONE? YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR ALL DAY.

UM, GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS MALO LUTU.

I'M THE RECREATION SERVICE SUPERVISOR AT BURNETT AND I ALSO OVERSEE THE TEEN COALITION.

UM, THIS YEAR WE HAD A LONG LIST OF INCREDIBLE NOMINEES, UM, RANGING FROM SEVENTH GRADE ALL THE WAY UP TO 12TH GRADE.

UM, OUR TEEN COALITION MEMBERS, UH, WENT OVER ALL THE NOMINATION FORMS. UH, WE ALSO HELD MEETINGS WITH ALL THE NOMINATORS TO REALLY DETERMINE WHO THE, WHO THE YOUTH OF THE YEAR OUR RECIPIENTS WERE THIS YEAR.

SO AT THIS TIME I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO OUR CHAIR OF THE TEEN COALITION AND MR ALVIN MALANI.

THANK YOU, MARLA.

THE CITY OF ALCOHOL TEEN COALITION SPONSORS AN ANNUAL YOUTH OF THE YEAR AWARD TO RECOGNIZE THOSE YOUTH WHO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND IN SERVING THEIR COMMUNITY, EITHER THROUGH THEIR LEADERSHIP ABILITIES AND OR DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY SERVICE IN OKLAHOMA.

ALL NOMINATIONS ARE RESERVED FOR YOUTH WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA AND SERVE AND SERVICE MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN THE CALENDAR YEAR.

PREVIOUS TO THE NOMINATION PERIOD, THE AWARD FOR THE 2019 IS BASED ON SERVICE CONDUCTED IN 2018 THIS YEAR, THE TEEN COALITION SELECTED A MIDDLE SCHOOL AWARD RECIPIENT AND A HIGH SCHOOL AWARD RECIPIENT.

EACH RECIPIENT WILL RECEIVE THIS AWARD, RECOMMEND RECKONED MISSION FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO THE COMMUNITY AND THEIR NAMES WILL BE PLACED ON THE PERPETUAL PLAQUE WHICH IS DISPLAYED AT CITY HALL, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE AS WELL WHENEVER A YOUTH OF THE YEAR HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE HOLLOW HIGH SCHOOL.

WHO I WOULD LIKE TO WALK THEM UP AT THIS TIME IS SANDRA AND MCKINNEY .

UM, UNFORTUNATELY SANDRA AND MCKENTY'S NOMINATOR CANNOT BE HERE.

SO I READ HER NOMINATION FORM AT THIS TIME AND I QUOTE, IT IS MY PLEASURE TO WRITE THIS LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION ON BEHALF OF SANDRA AND MCKINNEY.

I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO WRITE MANY LETTERS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF WRITING ONE WITH SUCH HIGH PRAISE AND SINCERE COMMENDATION.

UH, SANDRA IS AN EXCEPTIONAL YOUNG LADY WHO I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING FOR THE LAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS AS A SCHOOL COUNSELOR OF A HOLLOW HIGH SCHOOL, SANDRA AND RANKED IN THE TOP 20% OF HER CLASS OF 517 STUDENTS WITH AN OVERALL GPA OF 3.805 AND HAS ACHIEVED THIS WHILE MAINTAINING BALANCE BETWEEN ACADEMICS, LEADERSHIP POSITIONS, SPORTS, EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, AND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.

HER EXTRA EDUCATIONAL GOAL IS TO ATTEND A FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY AND MAJOR IN POLITICAL SCIENCE AND MINOR IN MUSIC, SANDRA AND WORKS HARD TO ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE IN EVERY AREA OF HER LIFE.

SHE WAS ONE OF THE KINDNESS AND MOST GIVING STUDENTS I HAVE EVER MET AND BRIGHTENS UP YOUR DAY THE MINUTE SHE IS IN YOUR PRESENCE.

LAST FALL, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH SANDY ON OUR ANNUAL TOY DRIVE IN MEMORY OF OUR STAFF MEMBER TONY GUTIERREZ, WHO STARTED THE DETAILS OF THE EVENT WERE HANDLED SMOOTHLY, BUT THAT THE TOYS WERE DONATED TO THE AGENCIES THAT TONY FELT PASSIONATE ABOUT ON THE DAY THAT THE TOYS WERE BEING PICKED UP.

IT WAS THE LAST DAY OF FINAL EXAMS AND MOST OF THE STUDENTS HAD LEFT TO BEGIN THEIR WINTER BREAK.

SANDRA AND STAYED ON CAMPUS UNTIL 3:00 PM WAITING FOR THE COMMUNITY

[00:10:01]

SHE GREETED THEM, HELPED BAG UP THE TOYS AND HAD RECRUITED SOME ADDITIONAL ASP MEMBERS TO HELP CARRY THE BAGS DOWN TO THE TRUCK THROUGH IT ALL, SANDRA AND HAD A POSITIVE ATTITUDE EVEN WHEN THE AGENCY ARRIVED LATE AND SHE DEMONSTRATED GRACE AND PATIENCE AND TRUE DESIRE TO ENSURE THAT THE JOB WAS COMPLETE AND THAT SHE WAS THERE TO SEE IT THROUGH.

WHAT IS MOST IMPRESSIVE ABOUT SANDRA ANNA IS THAT SHE UNDERSTANDS HER ROLE AS A LEADER AND HOW SHE CAN USE HER TALENTS TO SERVE OTHERS BOTH AT SCHOOL AND IN THE COMMUNITY.

SHE'S THE CURRENT ASP EXECUTIVE PRESIDENT, A NURSE CREW LEADER, A PROGRAM OF 85 HIGHLY SELECTED JUNIORS AND SENIORS WHO SERVE AS MENTORS TO FRESHMEN THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.

SHE HAS BEEN A UNITY TODAY LEADER FOR TWO YEARS ASSISTING STAFF WITH THAT, OUR SOPHOMORE STUDENTS THROUGH TWO FULL DAYS OF ACTIVITIES.

SANDRA HAD ALSO SERVED AS ASB JUNIOR CLASS PRESIDENT AND SHE WAS THE ASB HEAD OF MEDIA PUBLICITY AS A SOPHOMORE.

SHE HAD ALSO FOUNDED TWO CLUBS ON CAMPUS, THE PINK RIBBON CLUB, WHICH WERE, SHE'S ALSO PRESIDENT AND THE ACTS OF KINDNESS CLUB WHERE SHE SERVES AS VICE PRESIDENT.

SHE IS ALSO ON THE VARSITY TRACK AND FIELD TEAM AS A MEMBER OF THE SAN DIEGO, ALL COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL HONORS ORCHESTRA PLAYING THE VIOLIN.

I HAD BEEN FORTUNATE TO WATCH SANDRA AND LEAD.

UH, SHE HAS HAD A NATURAL GIFT OF MAKING THOSE AROUND HER FEEL VALUED AND HEARD.

SHE'S ALWAYS POSITIVE AND PEOPLE GRAVITATE TOWARDS HER FOR LEADERSHIP AND ADVICE.

IT WAS NOT SURPRISING THAT SANDRINE WAS SELECTED BY HER PEERS AT THIS YEAR'S HOMECOMING QUEEN.

IT IS WITHOUT RESERVATION THAT I NAMED SANDRA AND MCKINNEY AS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR THE CITY OF ALCON YOUTH OF THE YEAR AWARD.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU ALVIN.

UM, IT IS MY PROUD HONOR TO ANNOUNCE OUR YOUTH OF THE YEAR FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AWARD WINNER FROM EMERALD MIDDLE SCHOOL, EIGHTH GRADER JODY SEADRILL .

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CALL UP THERESA SPENCER TO TALK ABOUT WHY SHE NOMINATED MRS ECU.

GERO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT IS MY PROUD HONOR TO NOMINATE JODY FOR THIS AWARD AT THE NOMINATION.

STARTED WITH THE EIGHTH GRADE TEAM.

THE EIGHTH GRADE TEACHERS CAME UP WITH HER NAME AND UM, NOMINATED HER BECAUSE OF HER EXCELLENCE AND ACADEMICS AND CITIZENSHIP AND EFFORT.

THEY COULDN'T QUIT TALKING ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL JODIE IS.

AND UM, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SPENDING THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WITH JODY AND I'M SEEING HER DEVELOP AS A MUSICIAN.

I AM HER MUSIC TEACHER AND UM, I WAS ABLE ABLE TO WATCH HER GROW AS A STUDENT LEADER.

SO, NOT ONLY HAS SHE GONE FROM BEGINNING GUITAR PLAYER TO MORE ADVANCED AND BRANCH OUT TO PIANO AND OTHER THINGS AS WELL, BUT HER REAL TALENT LIES WITH, UM, DEALING WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

SHE'S AN ADVOCATE FOR OTHER STUDENTS AND SHE'S A GENTLE LEADER.

SHE TEACH, TEACH, SHE TREATS PEOPLE WITH RESPECT AND ENCOURAGEMENT AND SHE BRINGS THEM UP TO HER LEVEL.

SO MANY STUDENTS WHEN THEY ARE TALENTED, THEY EITHER DO SOLO WORK OR THEY JUST KIND OF GOOF AROUND LIKE THEIR FRIENDS DO.

BUT SHE DID NOT CHOOSE THAT PATH THAT SHE BROUGHT OTHER PEOPLE UP TO HER LEVEL.

AND I JUST WANT TO, I'M JUST SO VERY PROUD OF HER AND I'M GOING TO MISS HER DEARLY WHEN SHE GOES TO HIGH SCHOOL.

LASTLY, MAY I JUST PRESENT BOTH THE HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL 2019 YOUTH OF THE YEAR.

WE HAVE TO HONOR SOME OTHER PEOPLE.

ARE YOUR PARENTS HERE OR ANYBODY FOR YOUR FAMILY HERE? YES.

CAN YOU ALL STAND UP THE FAMILY MEMBERS YEAH.

HERE'S THE HARD PART.

YOU HAVE TO SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS.

UH, I'D BE HONORED TO, I'M SO, SO GRATEFUL FOR MY PARENTS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED ME THROUGH NOT JUST MY HIGH SCHOOL JOURNEY, BUT THROUGHOUT MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE.

UM, IN ANYTHING THAT I DO, NO MATTER HOW HARD IT IS FROM DRIVING ME AN HOUR EVERY DAY TO HAVE A VIOLIN LESSON OR JUST BEING THERE FOR ME AND SUPPORTING ME THROUGH EVERY SINGLE THING IN MY LIFE.

THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME.

UM, MY MOM ACTUALLY WAKES UP EVERY MORNING AT FIVE 30.

SHE MAKES ME FOOD FOR SCHOOL.

SO THAT'S A LITTLE THING THAT I WANT TO THANK HER FOR.

UM, AND MY DAD WILL DRIVE ME WHEREVER I NEED TO CAUSE I KINDA

[00:15:01]

UM, AND I'M JUST SO THANKFUL FOR YOU GUYS.

UM, JUST IN EVERYTHING FOR SUPPORTING ME, UM, IN ANY PATH THAT I TAKE IN LIFE.

ALSO, I WANT TO THINK MY COUNSELOR WHO COULDN'T BE HERE TODAY, SHE'S IN PART OF IRD, SO I'M GLAD SHE'S HAVING FUN.

UM, AND ALSO MY EIGHTH GRADE SCIENCE TEACHER WHO EVEN THOUGH HE'S FROM A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DISTRICT, DROVE ALL THE WAY OVER HERE FROM POWAY.

SHE'S RIGHT THERE JUST TO SEE ME GET THIS AWARD AND HAS KEPT CONTACT WITH ME FOR THE PAST FOUR, FIVE YEARS, FIVE YEARS NOW.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'M SO APPRECIATIVE FOR ALL OF YOU AND I AM SO, SO GRATEFUL THAT GOD PUT THESE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.

SO THANK YOU.

I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M REALLY THANKFUL FOR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO SUPPORTED ME THROUGH THICK AND THIN, ESPECIALLY MY BAND MEMBERS.

I WOULD NOT HAVE LIKE THE, UM, PERFORMED INTO LIKE ALL THESE AMAZING PLACES WITHOUT THEM, ESPECIALLY MY TECH NOAH.

UM, OVER THERE, MY PARENTS WHO'VE SUPPORTED ME THROUGH EVERYTHING AND MICHELLE, MS. SPENCER HAS TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW AND I'M EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR THEM.

OH, CONGRATULATIONS.

I ALL THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO SHAKE YOUR HANDS IF YOU COULD COME BY YOUR ADULATION.

DO GREAT THINGS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

VERY GOOD SPEAKER.

WELL, THAT'S JUST SUCH A NICE, GREAT THING.

AND WE'RE AS AN OBSERVANCE THAT BEGAN IN 1952 ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS WEEK HAS BECOME ONE OF THE LARGEST ANNUAL WORKPLACE OBSERVANCES.

THE EVENT IS CELEBRATED WORLDWIDE, BRINGING TOGETHER MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS, EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS, AND INDIVIDUAL CORPORATE ACTIVITIES, RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS OF ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT STAFF, AND WHEREAS LEADERSHIP WAS ONCE THOUGHT TO BE THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE AND IS NOW THE RULE WITHOUT EXCEPTION, THIS CRITICAL SKILL SET IS NOW REQUIRED AT EVERY ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL, INCLUDING TODAY'S ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS.

[00:20:05]

UM, PROBABLY NOT.

THEY'RE BUSY WORKING VERY HARD.

UH, MY CHIEF'S HERE.

YEAH.

IS ANYONE IN THE ROOM AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONAL? THEY'RE ALL WORKING CRICKETS.

THEY'RE WORKING.

SO ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US WHO WORK VERY HARD, UM, IT'S AN HONOR TO ACCEPT THIS ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE.

I'VE BEEN WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR JUST OVER FIVE YEARS.

UM, THE CITY'S A FAMILY, SO IT'S AN HONOR.

THANK YOU.

WELL, I CAN TELL YOU IF IT WASN'T FOR THERESA, OUR ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONAL IN THE OFFICE, I'D PROBABLY MAKE IT TO VERY FEW EVENTS.

SHE CALLS ME UP IN THE MORNING AND SAYS, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING TODAY? RIGHT.

AND I SAID, YEAH, I KNOW.

SHE SAID, YOU'RE LYING TO ME.

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA.

AND I, AND THEN SHE'LL TELL ME WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO, WHAT TIME I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.

AND SOMETIMES THEY'LL EVEN CALL ME HALF AN HOUR BEFORE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.

SHE WAS YOUR, ARE YOU LEAVING? ARE YOU GOING? SHE'S GREAT.

GREAT.

OKAY.

MOVING ON.

AGENDA CHANGES, STAFF, DO YOU HAVE ANY AGENDA CHANGES, MR MAYOR? NO.

CHANGES TO THE AGENDA.

COUNCIL MEMBERS? NOPE.

[8. CONSENT ITEMS: Consent Items are routine matters enacted by one motion according to the RECOMMENDATION listed below. With the concurrence of the City Council, a Council Member or person in attendance may request discussion of a Consent Item at this time.]

MAYOR, REQUEST DISCUSSION.

ITEMS OF A CONSENT ITEM AT THIS TIME.

COUNCIL MEMBERS, DO YOU WISH TO PULL ANY OF THE CONSENT ITEMS? MR GOLDWELL? I LIKE TO PULL ITEM FIVE OH FIVE.

IT IS.

OKAY.

ANYBODY ELSE? STAFF.

DO YOU WANT TO PULL ANY CONSENT ITEMS? NO SIR.

ANGELA, DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKER CARDS FOR CONSENT ITEMS SERVE? WE DO NOT.

THEN LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT ITEM FIVE STEEL.

I'LL LEAVE IT WITH YOU.

OKAY.

UH, JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

AT FIRST GLANCE, I COULD SEE HOW THE PUBLIC WOULD SAY $138,000 A YEAR FOR GRAFFITI ABATEMENT WOULD BE PRETTY HIGH.

YOU THINK THE AVERAGE PERSON COULD GO AROUND THE CITY AND JUST COVER UP GRAFFITI FOR LESS THAN 138,000 BUT THERE ARE SMALLER.

THE STORY HERE ISN'T THERE, MR GOBLE, YOU'RE CORRECT.

UM, THIS DOES REPRESENT A LOT OF GRAFFITI INCIDENTS IN A GIVEN YEAR.

IN FACT, IF YOU'D LIKE, I HAVE A SLIDE THAT KIND OF SHOWS HOW MANY, UH, WE LOOKED AT THE LAST THREE YEARS.

YOU CAN SEE OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, UM, 10,000, ALMOST A LITTLE OVER 15,000 AND ABOUT 13,000 DIFFERENT GRAFFITI INCIDENTS EACH YEAR IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.

WOW.

SO THAT'S AVERAGES 30 TO 40 A DAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND IF WE'RE PAYING A 139,000, WE'RE, WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO 10 BUCKS AN INCIDENT IT SOUNDS LIKE.

YEAH.

THE, THE 2017 IS ABOUT $9 AND 50 CENTS.

UH, THE LESS THAT WE HAVE, THE LESS, THE MORE PER PER, UH, HIT BUT ABOUT $13 AT AN INCIDENT AND IT'S MORE THAN JUST PAINTING OVER THINGS.

THEY HAVE TO DO SOME OTHER THINGS DON'T THEY? SO WHEN THERE IS GRAFFITI AND GO THE NEXT SLIDE ACTUALLY, UM, WHEN THERE IS GRAFFITI, WE DETERMINE WHETHER, FIRST OF ALL, HOW TO REMOVE IT.

SOMETIMES IT'S JUST PAINTING OVER MATCHING THE PAINTING.

SOMETIMES IT'S SANDBLASTING, SOMETIMES YOU JUST WASHING.

BUT BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, ACTUALLY TAKE A PHOTO OF IT AND THEN WE LOAD THAT INTO GRAFFITI TRACKER.

I THINK A LOT OF COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH GRAFFITI TRACKER, BUT IT'S A PROGRAM THAT, UH, CATEGORIZES A LOT OF OUR TAGGING AND THEN WE CAN ASSOCIATE IT WITH AN INDIVIDUAL, UM, GRAFFITI OR A TAGGER.

AND THEN IF WE EVER CATCH THAT PERSON, WE'RE ABLE TO GO BACK ALL THE DIFFERENT TIMES THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO, UM, EVERY, EVERY, UH, GRAFFITI INCIDENT WE CAN TRACK TO THEM ARE LINKED TO THEM.

WE CAN GO AFTER FOR ECONOMIC DAMAGES.

MY SECOND QUESTION IS THERE WERE TWO BIDS ON THIS PROJECT.

ONE 38 AND ONE 39 TO, UH, SOMEBODY MIGHT SAY, WHY DON'T WE GIVE THE PROJECT TO AN ALCOHOL FROM WHO CAME IN SECOND FOR ONLY A THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE, BUT THERE'S RESTRICTIONS AREN'T THERE? CORRECT.

THEY'RE, UH, WE'VE USED, UM, ALL STATE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

UM, WE ARE REQUIRED TO GO OUT FOR PUBLIC BID.

THIS IS A PUBLIC BIDDING PROJECT.

THE BOTH MET ALL THE QUALIFICATIONS.

URBAN CORE IS AFFIRMED THAT WE'VE NOT USED IN THE PAST.

THEY DO DO WORK FOR THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, AND THE PORT OF SAN DIEGO.

SO THEY, THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE AREA AND IN OUR, OUR, OUR PREVIOUS VENDOR WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BID ON IT NEXT TIME.

SO I THINK OVERALL INCIDENT

[00:25:01]

SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE THAT.

WE APPROVE ALL THE CONSENT ITEMS. SECOND MOVING.

SECOND, PLEASE.

VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

AND I GUESS I'M ALSO GONNA SPEAK TO SUE, SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

UH, ANGELA JUST SAID THAT AT LEAST THAT SHOULD BE ON RECORD.

YEAH.

I'M GLAD THAT THE CHIEF DAVIDS IS TAUGHT TO YOU.

WOULD YOU MIND COMING BACK AT SOME LATER TIME AND TELL US HOW THINGS ARE COMING ALONG? IF IT'S LIKE GETTING TO YOUR SATISFACTION, WE'LL THINK ABOUT WHAT ELSE WE COULD DO.

SURE.

CARRIE, SARAH, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING HERE AND TAKING THE TIME TO TELL US ABOUT THIS.

PUBLIC IN MANY CASES ARE EYES AND EARS AND THIS IS, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TO LISTEN TO YOU.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.

THANKS.

I HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN OR LOSE.

IT'S JUST I LIKE TO BE THE VOICE OF AN ELDERLY PERSON.

THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

GEORGE IBARRA.

HI GEORGE.

WELCOME.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MARY WELLS, HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF.

UM, I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE EAST COUNTY COALITION, UH, TO REQUEST YOUR APPOINTMENT OF MRS STELLA TO FEEL THE CITY COUNCIL SEAT THAT WAS LEFT VACANT BY COUNCILMAN COLLAGIO UPON HIS REGULAR RESIGNATION.

AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

WE WERE ADVOCATING IN FAVOR OF A SPECIAL ELECTION BY THE CITIZENS OF EL CAHONE, BUT YOU MAYOR AND THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED OTHERWISE IN FAVOR APPOINTING A CANDIDATE TO FILL THE VACANCY BECAUSE THERE'D BE PROJECTED COSTS TO THE CITY OF APPROXIMATELY 450,000.

TO APPOINT THE WRONG PERSON TO THE VACANCY WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE CITY AND WOULD MEAN BUSINESS AS USUAL, WHICH TRANSLATES TO WE THE CITIZENRY CITIZENRY LIVING IN THE CITY THAT IS THE POOREST IN THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO BECAUSE OF LACK OF VISION FOR FUTURE GROWTH OF BUSINESS AND COMMERCE.

THE CHANCES OF ALCOHOL OF AN ALCOHOL CITIZEN BECOME A VICTIM OF CRIME IS ONE IN 240 WITH THE POPULATION OF 103 WHICH IS BELOW AVERAGE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WHICH IS GREAT, WHICH JUST GOES TO PROVE THAT WE HAVE AN AWESOME POLICE DEPARTMENT BULLYING IN OUR SCHOOLS.

WE AS A COALITION HAVE ADDRESSED IT WITH, UM, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

I'M SORRY, THE CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION HERE AND NOW IT'S FALLING ON DEAF EARS.

THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENCES BECAUSE OF RACE, ETHNICITY AND RELIGION.

AGAIN, IT'S FALLING ON 'EM.

UM, IT'S FALLING ON DONKEY YEARS IS WHAT IT'S DONE.

AND WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE BURGEONING HOMELESS POPULATION.

NO END IN SIGHT AND TO DATE VERY LOW ACTION TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

HOWEVER WE DO, WE DO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE THUS FAR.

HONESTLY, I'VE GONE BY THROUGH THE CITY AND I DO BUY FOOD FOR SOME OF THESE FOLKS.

SOMETIMES WE HAVE GIVEN OUT BLANKETS TO SOME OF THESE FOLKS SOME OF THE TIMES AND BEING OUT THERE AT ONE OR TWO IN THE MORNING DOING THESE THINGS.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING I DO

[00:30:01]

AND UM, I JUST, UM, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LOT MORE DONE WITH THAT.

EVEN AFTER THE U S UH, THE U S NINTH COURT OF APPEALS DECISION THAT STATES BEING POOR IS NOT ILLEGAL.

THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED ON A RESOLUTION IN 2017 FIVE TO ZERO.

THE BANNED FOOD OUTREACH EFFORTS BY PRIVATE CITIZENS AND CHURCHES TO THE HOMELESS HOUSING SERVICES TOWARDS WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF HOUSING SERVICES TO OUR SENIORS VETERANS AND YOU COME ARE POPULATIONS AND ARE OUR MAJOR CONCERN.

I NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

ALCOHOL NEEDS A PERSON WITH A REAL VISION FOR FINANCIAL GROWTH AND INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR CITY.

ANY PERSON WHO HAS A REAL CONCERN FOR OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.

AND THAT PERSON IS A STELLA THAT LOVES RAYOS AND ALSO SHE HAS AN EYE FOR FOLKS WHO, UM, SHOULD BE RECEIVING, UH, GRANTS, UH, FOLKS WHO DO NOT DISCRIMINATE, UH, FOLKS WHO DO BUSINESS WITH THE CITY, WHO DO NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THEIR, UH, THEIR TENANTS.

UM, BECAUSE OF RETALIATORY ACTION OR DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE OF RACE, COLOR, CREED.

IN CLOSING, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS AND CLARIFY STATEMENT THAT I MADE AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

I'M HONORABLE MAYOR IS NOT I WHO REFERRED TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

THE CITY COUNCIL HAS THE GOOD OLD BOYS CLUB IS THE GENERAL CONSENSUS CONSENSUS OF PEOPLE THAT WE MEET WITH THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

AND THE APPOINTMENT SHOULD NOT BE BASED ON WHETHER THE POINT IS LIBERAL, CONSERVATIVE AS, AS YOU MENTIONED, MAYOR, REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT.

IT SHOULD BE SOLELY BASED ON THEIR ABILITY TO PERFORM THEIR BEST INTERESTS AND THEIR BEST INTERESTS FOR THE CITY.

AND FURTHERMORE OF THE RECORD, I'M A LOFT LINE LIFELONG REAGAN REPUBLICAN AND I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

GEORGE.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

WHEN YOU SAID WE VOTED THE PAN, THE FEEDING OF HOMELESS PEOPLE, I YOU LEFT OUT A PRETTY BIG PART, DIDN'T YOU? I UNDERSTAND THE HEPATITIS ASPECT OF IT AND THAT'S WHY I WAS, WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE LIVES.

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, UM, IMPROVED.

OTHERWISE I'D JUST LIKE TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SIR.

ROOF.

BURTON.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

WELCOME.

THANK YOU.

I HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY TODAY.

GREAT.

YES.

YESTERDAY WE HAD A DEATH IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WELL I LIVE IN A SENIOR MOBILE HOME PARK AND WHEN THE POLICE CAME OUT THEY JUST DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.

THEY WITH THE FAMILY, THEY SPOKE WITH NEIGHBORS.

IF THEY COULD SEE THAT SOMEONE WAS UPSET, THEY WALKED OVER AND SPOKE WITH THAT PERSON.

AND I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE HOW NICE IT WAS TO HAVE THEM BE SO CARING.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE DO HAVE AN EXCELLENT POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT.

OUR LAST SPEAKER IS JIM CITY GHANA.

WELL, JIM, WELCOME.

HELLO, MR MAYOR.

COUNCIL STAFF.

JUST REAL QUICKLY, UH, FIRST OF ALL IT WAS NICE TO SEE ALL THE COORDINATION ABOUT THE HOMELESS PEOPLE.

I KNOW THERE'S A LOT MORE GOING ON NOW AND AS FAR AS FUNDING, LIKE I SAID AT THE LAST MEETING, THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH MONEY FOR THAT.

UH, GETTING BACK TO WHAT, UH, MR BARROW IS SPEAKING ABOUT, THE LAST MEETING, UH, ABOUT THE POINT ABOUT THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE TO FILL.

MR COLLAGE SHOWS A VACANT SEAT.

UH, MR. CLARK MADE A WONDERFUL SUGGESTION ABOUT WHY NOT DO A MAIL IN BALLOT AND WE'D SAVE THE CITY A LOT OF MONEY.

NOT NO COMMENTS WERE MADE ABOUT IT, BUT I THINK IT WAS WORTHWHILE LOOKING INTO, I'VE WORKED WITH, UH, THE, UH, NATIONAL CONFLICT RESOLUTION CENTER YEARS AGO AND THEY DID FREE MAILINGS FOR ME.

AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW.

I MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO IN THE FUTURE.

I GUESS THE DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THAT.

UH, AND I WANT TO THANK COUNCILMAN GOEBEL FOR, UH, SUGGESTING EXTENDING THE APPLICATION PERIOD FOR, FOR PEOPLE.

AND I AGREE WITH MISS OBERA ABOUT IT SHOULD BE A FAIR CHOICE.

YOU KNOW, IT'D BE NICE TO SEE MAYBE EVEN A WOMAN ON THE COUNCIL FOR A CHANGE.

UH, LET'S SEE, UH, AND REAL QUICKLY, UH, MR. MITCHELL, I HOPE TO GET TO MEET YOU, UH, BECAUSE I REALLY DO WANT TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE, UH, THE MOBILE HOME RENT MEDIATION, YOU KNOW, MUNICIPAL CODE 5.82 GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

AND I'VE, I BELIEVE THAT WHEN THAT WAS DRAWN UP IN 1991, UH, THERE WERE A LOT OF PARK

[00:35:01]

AND TO ME IT WAS REALLY UNFAIR.

UH, AND I'LL ADDRESS THIS MORE WITH YOU ABOUT THAT THERE.

UH, AND THEN, UH, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, MR DIMAGGIO, I LIKE TO THANK HIM BECAUSE HE ALWAYS BRINGS UP THINGS ABOUT THE STATE LEVEL IN THE BILLS THAT WE'RE FACED WITH.

EVEN IF IT'S JUST ONE AT A TIME.

THERE'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF THEM.

HE SPOKE ABOUT, UH, MARIJUANA OR I SHOULD SAY CANNABIS.

EXCUSE ME.

AND I JUST HOPE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AND EVERYONE ELSE HERE, THE STAFF, I HOPE THAT YOU'RE EDUCATED ABOUT THIS HERE.

UH, I'LL JUST GIVE YOU AN INSTANCE.

LIKE, UH, THE CITY OF VISTA, THEY'RE GONNA ALLOW PEOPLE TO COME IN, BUT IT'S STRICTLY GOING TO BE FOR MEDICAL CANNABIS.

OKAY? THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.

YOU CAN STUDY THE PLANT, YOU KNOW, THE LEAVES OF HER, THE RECREATIONAL END OF IT, BUT THE STEMS OR THE HEMP, THAT'S WHAT FUSE FOR MEDICAL REASONS.

AND ASIDE FROM THAT PROBABLY BE A BIG BOON TO THE CITY.

MONEY WAS JUST SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO BECAUSE IT'S, AND IT'S HAPPENING.

OKAY.

IT ISN'T, THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE NATIONWIDE.

IT'S HAPPENING.

UH, AND JUST TO PARAPHRASE A, A LINE FROM A MOVIE I SAW ABOUT, UH, UH, EXCUSE ME, SUPERIOR COURT, JUDGE RUTH BADER GINSBURG, AND I THINK IT APPLIES TO, TO THE CITY IN GENERAL, ALL OF US.

AND SHE SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO CHANGE.

THE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DONE IT.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT HOMELESS ISSUES AND A LOT OF OTHER ISSUES, THIS IS WHAT IT IS.

THAT'S WHY THESE PEOPLE COME HERE TO SPEAK TO YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, I SAY BASKET QUESTION.

THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE YOU.

NO MORE CARDS, SIR.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

UH, THERE ARE NO WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS ON TODAY'S AGENDA.

HAROLD BRAND .

HI HAROLD.

WELCOME HERE.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF.

UH, JUST WANTED TO UH, COME AND THANK YOU, UM, FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE IN THE CITY TO TRY TO HELP WITH THE HOMELESS ISSUE.

UM, AS EVERYONE'S PRETTY WELL AWARE OF.

WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE THOUSANDS OF HOMELESS FAMILIES OFF THE STREET, GET THEM BACK INTO PERMANENT HOUSING AND THE LIFE THROUGH THE COLLABORATION THAT WE HAVE, UH, WITH ALL THE, THE DIFFERENT AGENCIES THAT, THAT APPLY FOR THESE GRANTS EACH YEAR.

UM, HOMELESSNESS IS A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION.

THERE'S MANY, MANY ASPECTS OF IT, BUT THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM THAT YOU'RE FUNDING, UH, TODAY HAS BEEN TREMENDOUSLY SUCCESSFUL, MOSTLY WITH SINGLE MOMS, WITH KIDS WHO HAVE BEEN SLEEPING IN THEIR CARS AROUND OUR CITY STREETS.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU.

UM, WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

UM, IN MANY YEARS OF, OF COMING BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND SPEAKING ON, ON, ON BEHALF OF, UH, HOMELESS MOMS AND SINGLE DADS WITH KIDS, WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW PROGRAMS IN THE COUNTY THAT WILL ACCEPT A SINGLE FATHER WITH CHILDREN.

THEY HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME, UH, ONCE, ONCE THEY'RE IN THE SITUATION THAT THEY'RE IN.

[00:40:01]

UH, THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT THAT'S DONE AND THE COLLABORATION THAT HAPPENS.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I WANNA THANK YOU, HAROLD, FOR ALL THE GOOD THAT YOU'VE DONE IN THIS CITY.

HOW MANY, UH, FAMILIES RIGHT NOW ARE AT UC TLC AND HOW MANY CHILDREN AND HOW MANY, UH, SINGLE MEN.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE, UH, ABOUT 77 FAMILIES, UH, WHICH HAVE ABOUT 148 CHILDREN RANGING FROM NEWBORN TO 17 YEARS OLD ON, UH, IN ONE OF OUR THREE FAMILY PROGRAMS. AND WE HAVE ABOUT 160 SINGLE MEN, SINGLE WOMEN AND, UH, LONGTERM PROGRAMMING, UH, GETTING BACK INTO LIFE, GETTING JOBS AND, UH, BECOMING PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

THAT'S GREAT.

IN FACT, I HAVE TWO NEW GRADUATES FROM YOUR PROGRAM THAT LIVE AT MY HOUSE NOW, MOVED IN LAST MONTH AND THAT THE GRADUATES COME INTO MY HOUSE, STAY FOR AWHILE, GET THEIR CREDIT FIXED AND MOVE ON TO OTHER THINGS.

SO, AND THEY'VE ALL WORKED OUT WONDERFULLY.

SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, DID YOU REALLY WANT TO DO SOMETHING? TRY THAT.

NOW YOU MIGHT BE AN ATHLETE, RIGHT? YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE OF ROOMS OPEN IN YOUR HOUSE AND UH, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN GET WITH GARY AND, AND ASK HIM HIS, HIS, HIS TRACK RECORD WITH OUR FOLKS.

AND, UH, I CAN PRETTY MUCH ASSURE YOU THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

AND I COME HOME AND I'VE DONE THE DISHES.

I DIDN'T EVEN ASK HIM.

IT'S JUST WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU STEVE.

CUE CRIED STEVE.

OKAY.

HAROLD, I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY GOOD ABOUT THIS PARKING THING, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.

YOU'RE SAYING SOMETIMES YOU'LL HAVE AN OPEN ROOM AND YOU'LL CALL SOMEBODY AND SAY COME, BUT BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY MAY NOT GET THERE FOR A DAY OR TWO, THAT ROOM MAY GO EMPTY FOR A NIGHT.

AND IF YOU'RE ABLE TO STAGE THEM IN THE SAFE PARKING AREA, YOU REDUCE THE NUMBER OF VACANT ROOMS MAKING THIS PROGRAM ALL THE MORE VALUABLE.

YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT'S OUR, THAT'S OUR GOAL.

THAT'S OUR GOAL.

THANK YOU GUYS.

BOB AND HAROLD, I'D LIKE TO ECHO WHAT GARY SAID.

I THINK YOU'RE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB OVER THERE.

AND, UH, I'VE SUPPORTED YOU FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE.

AND, UM, I'VE USED YOUR PEOPLE MANY TIMES FOR SOME WORK JOBS AROUND THE HOUSE AND THE BUSINESS, UH, PROPERTY THAT I'VE USED AND, UH, THEY'RE JUST INCREDIBLE PEOPLE.

THEY WORK HARD.

UM, IT HELPS THE MINISTRY, IT HELPS THEM IN THEIR WORK EFFORTS AND TO LEARN NEW SKILLS OR IMPROVE ON THEIR SKILLS.

AND ALSO, UM, YOU'RE BUILDING SOME NEW BUILDINGS HERE PRETTY SOON.

WE ARE, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

UM, WE SH WE'RE IN BUILDING, UH, THE PLANS THAT HAD BEEN SUBMITTED AND UH, WE HOPE TO HAVE A BIG GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY LATE THIS SUMMER AND HAVE YOU ALL OUT THERE AND PUT THE GOLDEN SHOVELS IN THE GROUND AND, AND CELEBRATE.

UH, THE GOAL IS, IS TO BE ABLE TO BRING 40 OR 50, POSSIBLY ADDITIONAL FAMILIES OFF THE STREET.

AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE THAT SITUATION, UH, YOU KNOW, IN, IN ALCOHOL AND WE ALL KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE POVERTY LEVEL IS VERY HIGH.

PEOPLE ARE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.

UM, AND ANY NUMBER OF THINGS CAN HAPPEN AND A FAMILY IS IN THEIR CAR ON THE STREET.

UH, AND, AND MANY OF THESE JUST NEED A HAND UP, UH, FOR, FOR, FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

WE WORK WITH HOUSING NAVIGATORS AND EVERYBODY ELSE TO GET THEM BACK INTO LIFE.

AND, AND IT'S GREAT WHEN WE HAVE THAT KIND OF A NET SYSTEM IN PLACE TO WHERE THEY DON'T BECOME CHRONICALLY HOMELESS.

AND YOU SAY THE PLANS HAD BEEN SUBMITTED.

WE'RE IN BUILDING.

YES.

WE ARE IN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED IT.

WE'RE IN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT PROCESS IS.

ALL WE NEED TO DO IS GET THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, UH, TO SPEED IT UP A LITTLE BIT SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE YOUR PLANS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL IT ON WITH IT.

CAUSE I KNOW YOUR PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BUILD IT ARE ANXIOUS TO GET DO.

SO.

THANK YOU GUYS.

OKAY.

AND ONE OTHER COMMENT, UH, THE CITY OF EL CAHONE AND WHAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS, BUT WE SPEND MORE ON THE HOMELESS AND ALL THE OTHER EAST COUNTY CITIES COMBINED.

YEAH.

AND THEN ONE OF THE REASONS WE DO HAVE A HIGH POVERTY RATE IS WE HAVE A LOT OF OUR HOUSING HERE RENTS FOR A LOT LESS THAN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTY.

SO THAT DRAWS PEOPLE THAT DON'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY.

SO, UH, AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH POOR PEOPLE.

NOPE.

YOU KNOW, THEY NEED A PLACE TO LIVE TOO.

AND A LOT OF THEM LIVE HERE IN EL CAHONE AND HOPEFULLY THEY'RE ABLE TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES AND MOVE ON TO BETTER JOBS AND THEY CAN DO MOVE.

IT'S MORE UPSCALE HOUSING.

SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE.

THANKS FOR .

ALL RIGHT.

ANY MORE? NO MORE CARDS HERE.

OKAY, GREAT.

THANKS.

THEN I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

HI JONAH.

KIND OF A HOUSEKEEPING THING.

ANY DISCUSSION OR WOULD SOMEBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? WELL FIRST OF ALL, MR MAYOR, I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ADDING THAT EXTRA SUGGESTING WE ADD THE EXTRA $10,000 TO MEALS ON WHEELS.

I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT THAT UH, YOU KNOW, THE SENIORS WORKED ALL THEIR LIVES AND SOMETIMES THEY JUST DON'T HAVE QUITE ENOUGH MONEY TO GET BY.

AND THE MEALS ON WHEELS PROGRAM IS GREAT.

THEN NOT ONLY GIVE THEM FOOD BUT TO GIVE THEM COMPANIONSHIP AND KINDA CHECK UP ON THEM.

SO I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT YOU CAME UP WITH THAT.

IT WAS VERY KINDHEARTED OF YOU.

WELL, I, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN OUT WITH THE MEALS ON WHEELS FOLKS THAT I WAS REALLY, UH, IT WAS HEARTRENDING TO SEE HOW HAPPY THESE SENIORS WERE TO SEE THE MEALS ON WHEELS.

PEOPLE COME, THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE FOOD.

I MEAN, I KNOW THEY ATE THE FOOD, BUT WHAT THEY PUT THE FOOD ASIDE AND THEY, AND THEY WANT TO DO A VISIT WITH THE PERSON THAT CAME TO SEE THEM.

AND UH, I COULD TELL THEY WERE AS HUNGRY FOR COMPANIONSHIP AS THEY WERE FOR FOOD.

AND THAT'S WHAT GOT ME ON THE MEALS ON WHEELS BANDWAGON, I GUESS.

BUT I, I'M A BIG FAN.

IT'S, IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM.
