May 14, 2019 City Council Meeting 3pm

STUDENTS WHERE WE HAVE MORE WOMEN THAN MEN.

AND, AND IF YOUR HANDS NOT UP, DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY? HAVE YOU HIRED SOMEONE WHO CAME TO CLASSES WITH US AND GROSSMONT AND QUIA MAGA? AND WE'LL SEE EVERY HAND IN THE ROOM GO UP BECAUSE WE HA WE DID RESEARCH SOMETIME RECENTLY THAT SAID ONE IN THREE CITIZENS OF EAST COUNTY HAVE ATTENDED OUR COLLEGES AND WE'RE, WE'RE VERY PROUD TO SERVE EAST COUNTY.

SO YOU SEE HERE THE OVERVIEW OF GROSS MONACO, YAMAKA COLLEGE GROSSMONT SINCE 1961 SERVING ABOUT 18,000 STUDENTS A YEAR.

QUIA MAKA IS THE BABY.

IT'S ONLY 41 YEARS OLD AND IT SERVES ABOUT 9,000 STUDENTS EVERY YEAR.

SO YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AND YOU LOOK AT THE CONTINUING EDUCATION AND THE CORPORATE TRAINING STUDENTS THAT WE SERVE, WE'RE UPWARDS ON 30,000 STUDENTS A YEAR.

THAT IS MORE THAN THE UNDERGRADUATE CLASS OF SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY.

SO THE TOUCH IN OUR COMMUNITY IS VERY LARGE.

WE OFFER 150 DEGREE IN CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS AND WE DID AN ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY NOT LONG AGO THAT SHOWED THAT EVERY YEAR WE PUT $1 BILLION IMPACT INTO THIS LARGER COMMUNITY FROM THE INCREASED EARNINGS OF OUR STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE DIRECT DISTRICT SPENDING AND THE SPENDING OF OUR ALUMS WHO INCREASE THEIR EARNING CAPACITY BY GETTING OUR DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES.

AND THE EDUCATION THAT THEY HAVE WITH US.

SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WE'RE ALSO PROUD THAT WE'RE A GREAT VALUE.

SO WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS SLIDE IS A COMPARATIVE OF IT COSTS TO GO TO OUR COLLEGES VERSUS SAN DIEGO STATE OR UC SD.

AND IT'S, IT'S NO SURPRISE TO YOU.

I THINK EVERYBODY WOULD ASSUME THAT WE ARE A A BETTER BARGAIN.

DID YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE, IT'S SEVEN TIMES LESS EXPENSIVE TO COME TO US THEN TO SAN DIEGO STATE AND ALMOST 14 TIMES LESS EXPENSIVE THAN GOING TO UCFD.

SO SMART PARENTS EVERYWHERE ARE SENDING THEIR KIDS TO US FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF SCHOOL AND SAVING GREATLY ON THEIR KIDS' COLLEGE EDUCATION.

IT'S A 50 FOLD COSTS WITH USD, AND WE'RE VERY, VERY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT JUST LESS EXPENSIVE.

THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION I THINK IS, IS INCOMPARABLE.

WE HAVE MANY OF OUR SAME FACULTY MEMBERS TEACH AT OUR, AT OUR SISTER UNIVERSITIES AROUND HERE.

WE KNOW THAT OUR STUDENTS, THE DATA ABOUT OUR TRANSFER STUDENTS, STUDENTS WHO COME TO GROSSMONT AND AND THEN GO ON TO SAN DIEGO STATE OR USD UCS, THEY PERFORM AT AT THE SAME LEVEL AND IN MANY TIMES BETTER THAN THE NATIVE STUDENTS WHO COME UP THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM.

SO A GREAT VALUE ON, ON MANY REGARDS, HERE'S A LITTLE PROFILE OF OUR

[00:10:01]

SO YOU SEE 57% FEMALE, THAT'S PRETTY COMMON IN COLLEGE THESE DAYS.

ALMOST 60% OF OUR STUDENTS ATTEND PART TIME AND MOST OF THEM ARE WORKING WHILE THEY GO TO SCHOOL.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE DIFFERENTIALS WITH OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND WHAT WE SEE IN THE UNIVERSITIES.

YOU MAY NOT KNOW THAT A THIRD OF OUR STUDENTS ARE RETURNING ADULTS OVER THE AGE OF 25 IN FACT, OUR AVERAGE STUDENT AGE RIGHT NOW IS 27 YEARS OF AGE.

SO WE'RE NOT ONLY HELPING THOSE EARLY GRADUATES RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, GET THEIR START ON THEIR CAREER TRAINING OR COLLEGE EDUCATION, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF RETURNING ADULTS COMING BACK FOR CAREER TRAINING WITH US AS WELL.

A THIRD OF OUR STUDENTS ARE THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILY TO GO TO COLLEGE.

SO WE KNOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE THAT'S MAKING FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES.

THOSE RIPPLE EFFECTS THAT YOU SEE WITH A COLLEGE EDUCATION AND ALMOST 60% OF OUR STUDENTS RECEIVE SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL AID.

SO WE HAVE THE DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY ARE WIDE OPEN FOR EVERYONE WHO COMES, THE KINDS OF THINGS YOU SEE.

OUR GOALS, I THINK YOU'RE AWARE OF, YOU'RE AWARE OF PREPARATION FOR UNIVERSITY TRANSFER, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF HIGH QUALITY CERTIFICATE TRAINING FOR OUR CAREER TO CAREER TRAINING AS WELL.

AND WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO COME BACK TO US ON AN INCREASING LEVEL, WORKERS IN OUR REGION WHO COME BACK FOR WHAT WE'RE NOW CALLING UPSKILLING.

THEY HAVE TO HAVE ONGOING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND THEY'RE COME BACK ON A REGULAR BASIS TO GET THE CERTIFICATIONS OR ADDITIONAL TRAINING THEY'VE GOT.

AND THEN SOME OF US JUST LIKE TO LEARN AND SO WE'RE THERE FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO LIKE TO COME BACK FOR THEIR LIFELONG LEARNING INTEREST AS WELL.

HERE'S A LITTLE PROFILE OF SOME OF THE CAREER TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE AT GROSSMONT COLLEGE.

YOU'RE, YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH OUR ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE PROGRAM.

IF YOU GO TO ONE OF THE AREA HOSPITALS, CHANCES ARE THAT THE NURSES WHO TAKE CARE OF YOU OR THE CARDIOVASCULAR TECHNICIANS OR THE RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS WERE TRAINED AT GROSSMONT COLLEGE.

SO MANY, MANY OF THOSE GRADUATES, AND I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO ONE OF OUR CULINARY ARTS DINNERS THAT WHERE OUR CULINARY STUDENTS OPEN UP THEIR KITCHENS AND YOU CAN COME IN FOR A VERY MODEST PRICE FOR AN EXTRAVAGANT SEVEN COURSE MEAL.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS.

SO WATCH FOR THOSE ADVERTISEMENTS.

HERE'S SOME OF THE WORKFORCE TRAINING, THE CAREER EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE AT QUIA MAKA COLLEGE.

YOU SEE THEM LISTED.

YOU MAY KNOW ABOUT OUR AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM, BUT DO YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN ONLINE COMPONENT WHERE WE ARE ACTUALLY HAVE REAL TIME VIRTUAL TRAINING OF INDIVIDUALS IN IMPERIAL VALLEY TAKING AUTOMOTIVE TRAINING COURSES WITH US, EQUIP MAKA COLLEGE.

WE JUST REVAMPED.

WE HAVE A WATER AND WASTEWATER TRAINING PROGRAM.

THIS IS A MAJOR GROWING CAREER FIELD.

MANY IN THAT INDUSTRY ARE RETIRING OUT.

WE'VE DONE THE RESEARCH.

AND SO WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A DEMAND IN THAT FIELD AND IT'S A GROWING FIELD.

WE KNOW THAT IN A WATER IS THE NEW GOLD.

AND SO WE'RE TRAINING THE WORKFORCE FOR THOSE CAREERS.

AND WE'VE STARTED JUST THIS LAST YEAR WE LAUNCHED WHAT WE'RE CALLING A CENTER FOR WATER STUDIES.

SO WE HAVE BOTH CERTIFICATION, ONGOING TRAINING AND DEGREE PROGRAMS IN WATER AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT, EQUITY MANCHA COLLEGE.

PRETTY COOL STUFF.

WE'RE PAYING A LOT OF ATTENTION TO NOT JUST GETTING OUR STUDENTS IN BUT GETTING THEM TO COMPLETION.

AND SO WE'RE PROUD OF THE DATA THAT SHOW THAT OUR DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE PRODUCTION HAS GONE UP 27% OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

SO LAST YEAR AT OUR COMMENCEMENT WE AWARDED OVER 5,000 IT'S LIKE 5,500 DEGREES IN CERTIFICATES AND WE'RE ON TRACK TO MEET THAT GOAL AND IF NOT MORE FOR COMMENCEMENT FOR THIS YEAR.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT NOT JUST WHAT WE DO BUT HOW WE DO IT.

SO WE HAVE SOME NEW PROGRAMS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE OF.

ACQUIA MAKA COLLEGE.

WE HAVE INTRODUCED WHAT WE'RE CALLING ACCELERATED MATH AND ENGLISH.

HOW MANY OF YOU LOVED YOUR MATH CLASS WHEN YOU WENT TO COLLEGE? MATH IS THE, WELL, SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO LOVE IT, BUT, AND I WAS A MATH FACULTY MEMBER SO I DID LOVE IT.

BUT, BUT MATH IS THE NUMBER ONE IMPEDIMENT TO INDIVIDUALS COMPLETING A COLLEGE DEGREE.

IT IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON PEOPLE DON'T FINISH COLLEGE IS THEIR MATH COURSES.

WE'VE GOT RESEARCH THAT SHOWS IT.

SO WHAT QUINN MACH HAS DONE, THEY'VE COMPLETELY REVAMPED THEIR COURSES.

THEY NO LONGER HAVE BY THREE, FOUR OR FIVE REMEDIAL COURSES.

THEY'RE PUTTING THEM IN MAINSTREAM COLLEGE LEVEL STATISTICS CLASS WITH WRAPAROUND SUPPORT SERVICES JUST IN TIME REMEDIATION.

AND WE HAVE INCREASED THE SUCCESS OF STUDENTS TAKING MATH AND FINISHING THEIR COLLEGE LEVEL MATH 700% IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

IT'S STUNNING.

SO IF YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY WHO CAN'T GET THROUGH COLLEGE MATH, SEND THEM TO , WE CAN HELP THEM.

WE'VE ALSO GOT PROGRAMS WHERE, AND GROSSMONT HAS BEEN DOING THE LEAD IN THIS STATEWIDE AND NATIONALLY IN BUILDING WHAT WE'RE CALLING ZERO TEXTBOOK COST COURSES RIGHT NOW.

THE COST OF TEXTBOOKS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE COST OF OUR, OF OUR TUITION AT OUR COLLEGES.

AND IT'S A MAJOR IMPEDIMENT.

SO WE FOUND THAT STUDENTS WEREN'T BUYING THEIR BOOKS AND IT'S, IT'S A NATIONAL

[00:15:01]

PHENOMENON.

IT'S A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE AREN'T GONNA SUCCEED AND LEARN IF THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR TEXTBOOKS.

SO WE HAVE AN INITIATIVE AND WE HAVE OVER A HUNDRED FACULTY MEMBERS AND AT GROSSMONT ACQUIA MAKA COLLEGES WHO ARE BUILDING THEIR COURSES WITH COMPLETELY FREE ONLINE RESOURCES THAT WE'RE CALLING THESE ZERO TEXTBOOK COST COURSES.

AND THEY'RE MARKED IN THE CATALOG.

SO WHEN STUDENTS REGISTER, THEY KNOW THAT THEY WON'T HAVE TO PAY AN EXTRA TEXTBOOK COSTS.

AND FINALLY WE WERE RECOGNIZING GROSSMONT COLLEGE.

IT WAS AWARDED A SPECIAL AWARD THIS LAST YEAR FOR HAVING THE THIRD HIGHEST RATE OF ALL THEIR 115 COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

SO GROSSMONT WAS RANKED NUMBER THREE IN THE STATE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF WHAT WE CALL ASSOCIATE DEGREES FOR TRANSFER.

AND SO BOTH OF OUR COLLEGES OFFER THEM, IT'S JUST THAT GROSSMONT HAD THIS ENORMOUSLY HIGH RATE OF PEOPLE ACHIEVING THEM.

AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THE ASSOCIATE DEGREES FOR TRANSFER, IT'S A SPECIAL ASSOCIATE DEGREE THAT GUARANTEES ADMISSION TO A CSU IN THE STATE.

IF YOU ARE AWARDED AN ADT, WE CALL THEM AND YOU ARE GUARANTEED A SEAT IN ONE OF THE CSU IN THE STATE AND YOU'RE GUARANTEED JUNIOR STATUS AND YOU'RE GUARANTEED TO FINISH YOUR BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN 60 UNITS.

SO IT'S A, IT'S A WONDERFUL THING.

SO WE THINK OF THIS IS NOT JUST DOING WELL, BUT WE'RE BETTER, FASTER AND CHEAPER.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THE GROSSMONT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT? ARE YOU AWARE OF OUR EAST COUNTY EDUCATION ALLIANCE? IT'S WEIRD.

IT'S BEEN IN PLACE FOR FIVE YEARS.

WE'RE VERY, VERY PROUD OF IT.

IT'S A, IT'S A MARVELOUS PARTNERSHIP.

WE MEET ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT AND HIS STAFF, OUR BOARD.

IN FACT, NEXT TUESDAY OUR BOARD IS MEETING WITH THE BOARD OF THE GROSSMONT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THIS YEAR WE'RE INVITING MOUNTAIN EMPIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO JOIN US.

AND IT IS A, IT'S A SIGNED COMMITMENT WHERE WE WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND INTO COLLEGE AND WE'RE SEEING HOW THIS IS SMOOTHING THE WAY AND REALLY HELPING OUR STUDENTS MAKE SURE THEY COME.

WE STARTED THIS A FEW YEARS AGO.

WE DID RESEARCH AND IT WAS A LITTLE BIT SHOCKING TO US.

WE LEARNED THAT OF THE INDIVIDUALS, THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GRADUATING OUT OF OUR 10 FEEDER HIGH SCHOOLS IN GROSSMONT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT, 40% OF THE, OF THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.

WE'RE NOT GOING DIRECTLY INTO COLLEGE AND LET THAT SINK IN FOR A MOMENT.

THIS, THIS IS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE 80% OF THE JOBS THAT ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU A LIVING WAGE, A MIDDLECLASS JOB REQUIRES SOME KIND OF COLLEGE OR CAREER TRAINING.

SO THAT IS REALLY THE CRUX AND THE CORE OF THIS PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO WE WERE HAPPY LAST YEAR WE LAUNCHED WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROMISE, MEANING COMPLETELY FREE TUITION FOR STUDENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA THAT YOU SEE LISTED FREE COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

IT'S A WONDERFUL THING FOR YOU HAVE TO BE A FIRST TIME STUDENT, YOU HAVE TO MEET THESE CRITERIA, BUT WE'RE ALSO EXCITED AND THIS, THIS, IT DOES RELY ON STATE FUNDING THAT WAS PASSED LAST YEAR.

WE'RE EXCITED THAT GOVERNOR NEWSOME HAS BUILT INTO HIS PROPOSED BUDGET THAT WE'RE MONITORING AND ADVOCATING FOR THE DOLLARS TO MAKE THE SECOND YEAR OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE COMPLETELY FREE AS WELL.

SO WATCH FOR THAT AND YOU KNOW, GET THE WORD OUT.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK CAN BE TRANSFORMATIONAL IN, IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE AWARE THAT NOT ONLY, I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT PEOPLE COME BACK TO RAISE THEIR, THEIR SKILLS, THIS UPSKILLING PIECE, BUT WE ALSO DO WORK DIRECTLY WITH A NUMBER OF, OF COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR AREA.

WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A CORPORATE COLLEGE, SO WE CAN DO CUSTOMIZED TRAINING FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES.

AND YOU SEE SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO HERE, EVERYTHING FROM DON'T YOU WANT TO DO, HAS WHOPPER TRAINING.

DOESN'T THAT SOUND FUN? YEAH.

NO, NO TAKERS.

WORK AND AS A CVT TECHNICIAN AND A VETERANS HOSPITAL.

THEN WE'LL, WE'LL GIVE YOU THE HARASSMENT PREVENTION.

WE HAVE CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINING IF ANYONE NEEDS IT.

COOL STUFF.

WE ARE ALSO A MAJOR, ONE OF OUR, ONE OF OUR KEY GOALS IS TO PROVIDE MARVELOUS ART, MUSIC, SPEAKERS, DISCUSSION FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THESE ARE OPEN AND FREE FOR THE MOST PART OR THEY'RE VERY LOW COST.

IF YOU'RE COMING TO A THEATER PRODUCTION OR ONE OF THE SPEAKER SERIES, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER TO GET, YOU KNOW, THIS TELLS YOU WHEN THOSE CULINARY ART DINNERS ARE HELD.

PLEASE YOU CAN FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW OR GIVE YOUR CARD OR INFORMATION TO ANN KRUGER AND WE CAN PUT YOU ON THE MAILING LIST TO GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION.

AND FINALLY I WOULD LEAVE YOU WITH A STORY OF ONE OF OUR CURRENT STUDENTS, JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE PROFILE OF THE, YOU MAY HAVE A CONCEPTION OF WHO COMES TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUT YOU MAY NOT BE THINKING ABOUT KEVIN BENNETT.

SO KEVIN SERVED RECENTLY FOUR YEARS IN THE NAVY AND HE'S ONE OF WHAT WE CALL REENTRY STUDENTS.

ADULTS COMING INTO COLLEGE AND HE'S STUDYING CARDIOVASCULAR TECHNOLOGY.

SO IF YOU HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE LOOK, SEE DOWN YOUR HEART TUBES, HE WOULD BE TRAINED TO DO THIS KIND OF WORK.

AND HIS GOAL IS TO GET THAT CVT TRAINING.

VERY HIGH DEMAND JOB MARKET AND

[00:20:01]

SO IT'S INDIVIDUALS LIKE THAT WHOSE LIVES WE TOUCH.

WE'RE VERY PROUD OF.

WE'RE PROUD TO BE YOUR PARTNERS.

WE THANK THE CITY FOR THE TREMENDOUS WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING.

AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO ASK MR. GARRETT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MY PLEASURE.

LET ME SEE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

YEAH, WELL FIRST OF ALL, CINDY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING HERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW IT, BUT I WAS ON THE GROSSMONT QUEEN OF MACA.

QUEENIE CALLS DISTRICT GOVERNING BOARD 20 YEARS AGO.

BILL SITS IN MY CHAIR NOW.

NICE THAT GARY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HISTORY, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW YOU THEN.

AND UH, I USED TO TELL PEOPLE, GROSSMONT, QUEEN MACA ACCEPTS THE TOP HUNDRED PERCENT OF APPLICANTS.

CORRECT.

AND WE DO VERY WELL.

IT'S THE BIGGEST BANG IN EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK AND EDUCATION IN UNITED STATES.

IN FACT, ALL THREE OF MY BOYS WERE IN GROSSMONT MIDDLE COLLEGE, WHICH IS A HIGH SCHOOL, UH, UH, THAT'S ON THE GROSSMONT COLLEGE CAMPUS AND ALL THREE OF THEM GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL WITH MORE THAN 30 UNITS IN COLLEGE.

AND ALL THREE OF THEM GOT ACCEPTED TO UCS, TWO AT UCLA AND ONE AT U CSD.

AND THEY ATTRIBUTE THEIR SUCCESS IN GREAT PART TO THEIR EXPERIENCE AT GROSSMONT MIDDLE COLLEGE.

YOU HAD FANTASTIC TEACHERS THERE.

AND I'M A PRODUCT OF GROSSMONT COLLEGE.

OH, WE'RE, WE'RE PROUD TO HAVE YOU AS AN ALUM, SIR.

MILES OF BIKEWAYS WITH AN AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF 71 DEGREES, MAKING THE SAN DIEGO REGION ONE OF THE BEST PLACES IN THE COUNTRY TO GO BIKE.

IT'S MY PLEASURE.

DR. MILES, YOU HAVE A RETIREMENT COMING UP, DON'T YOU? I WILL BE WORKING THROUGH DECEMBER.

THAT'S TRUE.

DECEMBER.

CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT CAREER AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CITY.

IT'S BEEN A REAL PLEASURE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS A GREAT BENEFIT AT GROSSMONT COLLEGE BACK IN THE DAY WAS IF YOU COMPLETED THE GENERAL ED CERTIFICATION AT GROSSMONT COLLEGE, THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR SPSU AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE THE ADDITIONAL CLASSES IF THERE WERE ANY TO COMPLETE SDSU JENNIFER GENERAL CERTIFICATION.

THAT'S STILL THE CASE.

WELL IT IS.

IT ISN'T.

AND THAT'S WHY WE DEVELOPED THE ASSOCIATE DEGREES FOR TRANSFER IN COLLABORATION WITH THEM.

MOST OF THE GEN ED AND OUR COUNSELORS HAVE TO MAP THIS ONE TOO.

IT DEPENDS ON THE MAJOR BECAUSE SDSU HAS HAS CHANGED SOME OF THEIR MAJOR REQUIREMENTS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART THE GEN ED DOES TRANSFER IN WHOLE.

BUT IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO TALK TO YOUR CANCER COUNSELOR.

I'LL LEAVE YOUR READING YOUR STUDY MATERIALS AND HOMEWORK WITH YOU BEFORE YOU GO.

ONE LAST QUESTION I, YOU MAY HAVE MENTIONED, I JUST MISSED IT, BUT UH, LAST TIME WE MET YOU TALKED TO ME ABOUT THE FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE BEING FREE.

RIGHT.

AND DID YOU MENTION THAT? I JUST MISSED IT.

I DID BUT I WAS TALKING FAST, SO THAT'S OUR PROMISE PROGRAM AND THE STIPULATION IS YOU HAVE TO BE A FIRST TIME STUDENT BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST TIME YOU COME TO COLLEGE, YOU HAVE TO BE A FULL TIME STUDENT AND YOU HAVE TO MA AND YOU HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR, YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK FOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID OR THE CALIFORNIA FINANCIAL AID, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THE REGULATIONS THAT CAME WITH THE FUNDING FROM THE STATE.

BUT ABSOLUTELY IT'S 100% FREE FOR OUR FIRST TIME, FULL TIME STUDENTS.

AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SECOND YEAR BEING FREE IF THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSAL IS ACCEPTED BY THE LEGISLATURE IN JUNE.

HEY JOE, WELCOME.

HI.

FIRST, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE A CERTIFICATE WE GOT AND, AND THE WELCOME WE GOT DONATING THE ROTARY CLOCK.

UH, TODAY WENT VERY WELL.

YEAH, IT WAS VERY NICE CLOCK.

UH, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE, UH, TO YOU, UH, MAYOR WALES COUNCILMAN KENDRICK MCCLELLAN AND GOEBEL AND CITY MANAGER GRAHAM MITCHELL TO INTRODUCE TO YOU AND THROUGH YOU TO THE CITY OF ALCOHOL, THE NEW CEO AND PRESIDENT OF THE EAST COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

UH, REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE TO BE A PART OF THIS TEAM AND THE CHAMBER AND HOPING TO HELP EVERYTHING I CAN WITH THIS COMMUNITY OUT OF HERE AND EAST COUNTY.

JUST REALLY EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THIS TEAM AND TO BE COMING HERE AND DOING WHAT I CAN FOR THE COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM? I'M ACTUALLY BORN AND RAISED IN IMPERIAL BEACH.

I AM A SAN DIEGO NOW.

THERE'S NOT MANY OF US THAT ARE BORN AND RAISED HERE.

YEAH, THANKS.

[00:35:01]

WELL, WELCOME.

THAT WERE INHABITED BY 30 SOMETHING HOMELESS PEOPLE.

ANY QUESTIONS? YOU HAVE? ANY QUESTIONS NOW? WE JUST WISH YOU WELCOME AND HOPE THAT IT, UH, GOES VERY WELL FOR YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

EXCITED TO BE HERE.

LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL OF YOU.

UM, I LIVE ON SOUTH MAGNOLIA AVENUE BETWEEN CHASE AND GO HOME VIEW.

UH, MY PROBLEM TODAY IS A PROSTITUTION RING WORKING ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.

ADDITIONALLY DRUG ADDICTS, CRIMINALS, AND THE MENTALLY ILL SPEND THE NIGHT OUT ON THE STREET RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.

THESE PEOPLE HAVE RECENTLY TORE DOWN A FENCE ON MY PROPERTY AND STOLE SOME OF MY BELONGINGS.

TWO WEEKS AGO THEY WERE TRYING TO BREAK INTO MY TRUCK WHEN THE ALARM WENT OFF AT THREE 30 IN THE MORNING, THE PROSTITUTES LEAVE THEIR CALLING CARDS ON THE STREET RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.

APPARENTLY WHEN YOU'RE IN THE BUSINESS, THAT BUSINESS, YOU USE AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF TISSUES TO KEEP CLEAN.

LUCKY FOR THEM WHEN THEY FINISH, ALL THEY NEED TO DO IS ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW OF THEIR CAR AND DEPOSIT THE TISSUES ON THE ROAD RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.

YOU MAY NOT KNOW THAT THE CUSTOMERS OF THESE PROSTITUTES HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF INTERESTS BEYOND SIMPLE SEX FOR MONEY.

THEY ENJOY PASTIMES SUCH AS SHOOTING UP VARIOUS DRUGS, DRINKING ALCOHOL, AND OUR TRUE CONNOISSEURS OF THE JACK IN THE BOX HAMBURGER.

IN ANY EVENT, WHETHER TYPE OF DIRECT NEEDLES, BEER BOTTLES, OR THE REMNANTS OF AN ULTIMATE CHEESEBURGER, THEY SIMPLY ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW AND DECORATE MY ROAD WITH THEIR, WITH THEIR DEBRIS.

I AM REQUESTING RED CURB AND NO PARKING SIGNS FROM CAHONE VIEW NORTH TO CHASE IT TO, TO THE, UH, KB HOMES, UM, TO, TO THE, TO THE, UH, TO THE NORTH OF THAT AREA TO DISCOURAGE THIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

I'M ALSO REQUESTING A STREETLIGHT.

THE TOTAL DARKNESS IS AN ATTRACTIVE NUISANCE FOR THIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

FINALLY, I'M ASKING FOR SOME HELP FROM THE POLICE, BUT TO GET THAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH YOU.

THE POLICE TELL ME THEY WILL COME WHEN THEY CAN.

THAT MEANS TWO OR THREE HOURS LATER OR EVEN THE NEXT DAY.

AT THIS POINT, I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS CONFRONTING THESE PEOPLE.

I AM CONSTANTLY THREATENED BY THEM.

I BELIEVE THE CITY OF EL CAHONE IS NOT MEETING THE MINIMUM STANDARD OF PROTECTION FOR ITS CITIZENS AND THAT MEANS ME POLICE PROTECTION SHOULD BE THE CITY'S NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

IF IT IS THE CITY'S TOP PRIORITY AND IT CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE CRIME, THEN MAYBE WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT INCREASING THEIR BUDGET.

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT Y'ALL HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS AND HOPEFULLY I WOULD HAVE SOMEBODY TO WORK WITH TO TRY TO, TO TRY TO GET THIS THING UNDER CONTROL.

WELL, FIRST OFF, THANK YOU FOR COMING.

I, I'M TRULY SORRY TO HEAR THESE PROBLEMS. UM, UH, ASK GRAHAM, WOULD YOU, UH, MAKE SURE THAT HE GETS A CONTACT PERSON TO WORK WITH? CERTAINLY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M HEARING OF THIS.

WE'LL REACH OUT AND WE WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS.

WHAT I ASKED YOU TO DO, SIR, IS WORK WITH GRAHAM AND HIS TEAM AND THEN COME BACK AND TELL US EITHER THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING OR THE COUNSELING AFTER THAT, HOW IT'S GOING, IF YOU'RE NOT SATISFIED.

SO THEN WE'LL LOOK INTO OTHER OPTIONS.

UH, I JUST, UH, ONE MORE THING HERE, JUST SO YOU KNOW, I AM, I'VE ONLY MOVED IN THERE ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AND I LIVE ON THE PROPERTY.

I LIVE ABOVE THE SCHOOL, BUT THERE'S A BIG VACANT AREA THERE WITH A GUY THAT'S GOING TO EVENTUALLY DEVELOP THAT.

NOW.

THEY USED TO HAVE THREE HOUSES ON THAT PROPERTY

[00:40:01]

I TRIED TO GET HELP FROM.

I NEVER WENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL, TRIED TO GET HELP FROM SOMEBODY IN THE CITY BUILDING, NO HELP.

WENT TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THEY SAY, YEAH, THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR YEARS.

WE AIN'T GONNA DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

UM, SO I WENT TO THE SCHOOL AND I PASSED OUT A BUNCH OF FLYERS TO ALL THE PARENTS, LET THEM KNOW WHO THEIR NEIGHBORS WERE.

I GOT COOPERATION FROM THE SCHOOL.

WE WENT TO THE CITY AND WE STARTED TO WORK ON THAT PROGRAM RIGHT AWAY.

WITHIN A WEEK, THESE HOMELESS CRIMINALS, ONE OF THEM FIRE BOMB THE HOUSE RIGHT NEXT TO THE SCHOOL AND THE, THE HOUSE WENT UP.

I WORKED WITH THE OWNER OF THAT PROPERTY TO GET THE PERMITS THROUGH AND, AND GET RID OF THE HOMELESS OUT OF THERE.

THEN WE STILL HAD HIM ON THE STREET AND ME AND THE NEIGHBORS, WE GO UP TO THESE GUYS.

AND, AND, YOU KNOW, ARGUE WITH THEM AND GET THEM OUT OF THERE.

WE GOT 'EM OUT OF THERE.

THEY WERE GONE.

THEY'VE COME BACK IN A WAVE JUST NOW AND IT'S, IT'S TERRIBLE.

AND THERE'S ONLY WHAT AT THIS POINT NOW, THERE'S ONLY ONE OF ME.

I'M TIRED AND I'M TRYING TO GET THIS THING FIXED.

BUT MAN, IT'S, I'M DOING IT MYSELF.

YOU'RE PERFECTLY WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS TO ASK US TO HELP AND WE WILL HELP.

BUT I'D LIKE YOU TO KEEP US INFORMED BECAUSE YOU DON'T COME AND TALK TO US OR WRITE US AN EMAIL, THEN IT'S SOMETIMES WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT.

GULIANO WELL, SIR, WELCOME MAYOR COUNCIL STAFF.

UH, JUST REAL QUICKLY, YOU KNOW, UH, ONE THING THAT ALWAYS IMPRESSES ME WHEN I COME HERE TO SEE THE EDUCATION I GET FROM LISTENING TO SOME OF THESE SPEAKERS WITH WONDERFUL PRESENTATIONS, CINDY, THE LADY FROM, SHE WAS EXCELLENT PRESENTATION.

WOULD I LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE VACANT, UH, COUNCIL SEAT.

NOW, UH, MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME.

UH, I'M NOT SURE THE PROCESS, YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AT THE NEWS MEDIA, THEY SAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE VOTING, YOU KNOW, AND WITHOUT ANY TIMELINE OR, OR NO MENTION ABOUT THE APPLICATION MEETING THIS EVENING.

SO MAYBE YOU CAN EDUCATE ME ON THAT.

HOW, WHEN YOU KNOW, THE TIMELINE OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT THERE.

AND UH, YOU KNOW, I JUST HOPE THAT THIS SELECTION AND EVEN THAT I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW EXACTLY THAT'S GOING TO GO IS A VERY FAIR AND HONEST, YOU KNOW, WE NEED, WE DO NEED CHANGE ON THE CITY COUNCIL TO FILL THAT SEAT.

AND I HOPE IT'S SOMEONE THAT'S TRANSPARENT WHEN THEY GET UP TO SPEAK THIS EVENING BECAUSE IT'S, IT, IT'S GOING TO HAVE A BIG INFLUENCE ON THE COMMUNITY.

LIKE MS. DOT.

BARBARA SAID, YOU KNOW, HE USED THE PHRASE GOOD OLD BOYS, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK WHAT HE WAS SAYING WAS MAYBE THERE'S A LACK OF TRUST.

NO MATTER HOW THE PROCESS GOES, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DECIDED.

BUT THAT'S SOMETHING I WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT.

AND I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE SENIORS BY THE WAY.

I SELL IN BATTLING FOR THEM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE MOBILE HOME.

UH, MR MAYOR, CONGRATULATIONS GOING TO WASHINGTON.

THANK YOU FOR NATIONAL PRAYER DAY.

HOPE YOU SAID A SPECIAL PRAYER FOR OUR PRESIDENT.

AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT EITHER WAY, BUT NO, NO.

BUT THE, THE, THE THING IS WE MAY DISAGREE, BUT WE'RE IN THIS ALL TOGETHER AND THAT'S THE MAIN THING OF WHAT I REALLY WANT TO SEE TODAY.

UH, AND I, AND I DO EXPECT THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF RELIGION HEARD ABOUT BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT YEAR, PRIMARIES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

AND, UH, I JUST HOPE IT ISN'T HYPOCRITICAL BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT IS, I'VE SEEN IT AND I DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE, UH, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, WE'RE IN THIS ALL TOGETHER USING MAYBE THE THREE, UH, MOST FAMILIAR RELIGIONS THAT WE DEAL WITH.

UH, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEM SAY PEACE BE WITH YOU, SHALOM AND SALAAM, AND THAT'S JUST THE THREE OF THEM.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT MORE OUT THERE.

AND, UH, THAT'S BASICALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY FOR TODAY.

OUR LAST SPEAKER IS HAROLD BROWN.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO .

WE RECEIVED ONE MORE CARD.

HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY STAFF.

UM, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE PROCESS OF YOUR UNDERTAKING HERE TO FILL MR BEN COLLATERAL'S SEAT.

UM, I HOPE IT'S FAIR AND EQUITABLE TO THE ENTIRE CITIZENRY OF , NOT JUST A CERTAIN PORTION THEREOF.

I'M SURE YOU'LL DO THE JOB THAT YOU NEED TO DO TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

I ALSO, UM, ONE THING THAT I REALLY WANT TO ADDRESS AND, AND THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE YOU IS OUR SENIOR CITIZEN, UH, MOBILE HOME PARKS.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO START THE PROCESS.

I KNOW OTHER CITIES HAVE IT, BUT TO BRING SOME KIND OF UM, UH, RENT CONTROL BECAUSE OUR SENIOR CITIZENS ARE THE FABRIC OF THIS COUNTRY.

THEY DID DELETE THE FOUNDATION FOR EACH AND EVERYONE HAS THAT ARE HERE.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM NOT DISPLACED.

MANY OF THEM ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES BECAUSE THEY GET ONLY A CERTAIN AMOUNT FROM THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY AND NOW THEY'RE BEING OUT PRICED FOR SPACE RENT.

SO IF THERE'S ANY WAY WE CAN GET SOMETHING LIKE THAT GOING, THAT'D BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

THANKS SIR.

THANKS.

UH, BEFORE WE CONTINUE, I WANNA RECOGNIZE, UH, WE'VE GOT KAREN CLARK BAHIYA HERE FROM THE ALCOHOL VICE SCHOOL BOARD HIGH AND JOE ALLEGORY IS HERE.

HI JOE.

AND DAVID WAS HERE, BUT HE RAN AWAY SENSING THAT I WOULD CALL HIM.

SO THANKS FOR COMING TODAY.

YOU GUYS HERE FOR A SPECIFIC, UH, ITEM, YOU JUST, YOU'RE BEING PUNISHED, YOU'RE BEING POLISHED, SO YOU HAVE TO BE HERE.

OH, OKAY.

WELL, THANKS FOR COMING.

I APPRECIATE IT.

WE ARE NOW AT PUBLIC HEARINGS.

THERE ARE NO WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS ON TODAY'S AGENDA AND

[12. Omnibus Zoning Code Update - Amendment to Zoning Code No. 437 RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: Opens the public hearing and receives testimony; Closes the public hearing; Moves to INTRODUCE the next ORDINANCE, in order, APPROVING Zoning Code Amendment No. 437; and Requests that the City Clerk read the ORDINANCE by title only.]

ITEM 12 IS AN INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING ZONING CODE AMENDMENT FOUR 37 AND STAFF.

WOULD YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS PLEASE? YUP.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR

[00:50:01]

AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UH, THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS ON THE BUS ZONING CODE UPDATE, UH, ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NUMBER FOUR, THREE, SEVEN.

UH, AND SO JUST DIVING RIGHT INTO IT, EACH YEAR, STAFF IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL TECHNICAL CLEANUPS AND SOME SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES DURING THE ROUTINE ADMINISTRATION OF THE ZONING CODE.

UH, THIS YEAR THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MODIFICATIONS FOR CONSISTENCY AND CLARITY, UH, FOR STREAMLINED REVIEW PROCESSES AND TO ESTABLISH SOME OBJECTIVE STANDARDS, UM, UH, IN ORDER TO REDUCE AMBIGUITY IN THE CODE.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG THEN TO THE FIRST NOTABLE CHANGES.

UH, THE FIRST AMENDMENT PROPOSES, UH, TO ALLOW FOR UP TO FOUR ADULT ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD PETS, WHICH IS DOGS AND CATS, UH, PER DWELLING, UM, AND AN ADDITIONAL ADULT ANIMAL VIA A ADMINISTRATIVE ZONING PERMIT.

UH, THE CODE CURRENTLY DOES ALLOW FOR, FOR, UH, ADULT PETS, BUT IT SPECIFIES THAT IT'S LIMITED TO TWO DOGS AND TWO CATS.

SO THIS WOULD, UH, PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF FLEXIBILITY FOR HOMEOWNERS.

UH, AND THIS WAS ALSO SUBSEQUENT TO REVIEWING STANDARDS IN NEIGHBORING JURISDICTIONS AND IN THROUGHOUT THE REGION.

AND THEN ALSO, UH, DUE TO REQUESTS TO ANIMAL CONTROL FOR, UH, ADDITIONAL LICENSING OF ANIMALS.

UM, THERE'S ALSO SOME UPDATES TO A SUBSECTION OF THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR, UM, PROPERTY UPKEEP.

AND THIS INVOLVES, UM, KEEPING FRONT AND EXTERIOR YARD AREAS, UH, CLEAR OF DEBRIS, UH, AND YOU KNOW, TRASH AND DEBRIS, UH, OTHER ITEMS SUCH AS A DILAPIDATED FURNITURE OR, UM, SOMETIMES WE HAVE ISSUES WITH DUMPING OF, OF UH, APPLIANCES.

UM, AND SO THIS REALLY DOES PROVIDE A TOOL FOR CODE COMPLIANCE STAFF TO ADDRESS ISSUES OF CLEAN CLEANLINESS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND MOVING ALONG.

THERE ARE OUR PROPOSED UPDATES TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, A SECTION OF CODE, UH, TO ESTABLISH, UH, SETBACKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH STRUCTURE HEIGHT.

AND THOSE STANDARDS WOULD BE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE STANDARDS FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

SO IN THE FUTURE, IF THESE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES WERE CONVERTED TO UNITS, THEY WOULD ALREADY MEET THE SETBACK STANDARDS FOR, FOR THOSE ACCESSORY DWELLINGS.

UM, UH, IT ALSO PROPOSES A REQUIREMENT FOR A MINOR USE PERMIT FOR THOSE EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES OVER 1000, 200 SQUARE FEET.

AND THAT WOULD DO BE TO ADDRESS ANY POTENTIAL AND COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL USES, UH, AND DEVELOPMENT.

AND THERE'S ALSO UPDATES PROPOSED FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY REVIEW PROCEDURES.

UM, THOSE, UH, THE PROPOSED UPDATES WOULD INCLUDE, UM, OBJECTIVE STANDARDS FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, UM, AS WELL AS UM, UH, COMPATIBILITY WITH THE EXISTING PRIMARY DWELLINGS.

UM, IT ALSO PROVIDES MORE FLEXIBILITY, UH, IN THE CHOICE OF FINISHING MATERIAL FOR THOSE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, UH, AND ESTABLISHES A BASELINE FOR ARCHITECTURE DESIGN, UH, MOVING ALONG.

THEN THE, THERE'S ALSO PROPOSED CHANGES TO ALLOW FOR NEW RESTAURANTS WITH ON SALE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SERVICE THROUGH A MINOR USE PERMIT IN THE REGIONAL COMMERCIAL.

SO THAT'S THE CR ZONE ONLY.

UM, THE MINOR USE PERMIT IS SUBJECT TO THE SAME FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS AS THE CURRENT PROCESS, WHICH IS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

UM, AND JUST TO, YOU KNOW, POINT OUT WHERE THE CR ZONE IS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

IT'S MOSTLY IN THE DOWNTOWN AND THE PARKWAY PLAZA MALL AREA.

AND SO THIS WOULD BE A STREAMLINED PROCESS FOR THESE NEWER RESTAURANTS LOCATED IN THOSE AREAS.

THERE'S ALSO UPDATES PROPOSED FOR RESTAURANT PARKING.

UM, THIS IS TO REPURPOSE SOME OF OUR EXISTING, UH, SMALLER COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AND SITES.

UH, CURRENTLY THE CODE REQUIRES ONE PARKING SPACE PER 100 SQUARE FEET OF GROSS FLOOR AREA FOR THAT RESTAURANT.

UH, THE PROPOSED WOULD CHANGE THAT TO MEET THE SAME STANDARDS AS OTHER GENERAL RETAIL USES, WHICH IS ONE SPACE PER 250 SQUARE FEET.

MOVING ALONG THEN, UM, FREESTANDING, UH, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DISABILITIES.

THE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS, UH, WOULD REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A SPECIFIC PLAN TO EXCEED THE HEIGHT IN THE UNDERLYING ZONE.

IT WOULD ALSO ESTABLISH A CAP AT 70 FEET FOR THESE FACILITIES.

UH, THE FACILITY WOULD STILL REQUIRE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, UH, AND WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME STEALTH DESIGN STANDARDS AND, UM, AND PLACEMENT STANDARDS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST IN THE CODE.

AND THEN FINALLY, UH, IT'S PROPOSED TO REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A SPECIFIC PLAN, UH, FOR THE CREATION OF A PANHANDLE LOT, A FLAG LOT IN THE RSX ZONE.

SO THE ZONE IS CURRENTLY THE ONLY RESIDENTIAL ZONE, UH, THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC PLAN TO CREATE THE FLY BLOT.

UM, AND THIS WOULD OBVIOUSLY, UH, THE PROPOSED WOULD OBVIOUSLY STREAMLINE THE PROCESS FOR THE CREATION OF NEW, UH, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN SUCH LOTS.

AND THEN TO WRAP THIS UP, UM, PLANNING COMMISSION AT THE HEARING HELD ON APRIL 2ND, UH, TWO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC REPRESENTING THE REALTOR'S ASSOCIATION,

[00:55:02]

UH, SPOKE REGARDING THE OWNER OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

UH, IN PARTICULAR, THEY WERE IN FAVOR OF EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REQUIREMENT, UH, FOR OUR OWNER OCCUPANCY AND SPECIFICALLY CITED, UH, THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA HAS A EXEMPTIONS.

AND AFTER THE HEARING AND, UH, PUBLIC TESTIMONY AND THE DISCUSSION, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION DIRECTED STAFF TO RESEARCH AND PRESENT, UH, THOSE EXEMPTIONS TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION.

UH, AN EXCERPT FROM THEIR CODE WAS IN THE AGENDA PACKET AND I JUST WANT TO SUMMARIZE IT REALLY QUICKLY.

THEIR CODE REQUIRED, UH, PROVIDES UP TO A FIVE YEAR SUSPENSION, UH, FROM THE REQUIREMENTS IN A, IN A HANDFUL OF CASES.

THOSE BEING WHERE THE OWNER'S HEALTH REQUIRES THEM TO BE TEMPORARILY PLACED IN ASSISTED LIVING, UH, WHERE THE OWNER IS REQUIRED TO MOVE OUTSIDE OF THE REGION FOR, UH, FOR EMPLOYMENT PURPOSES OR MARROW, MILITARY SERVICE, UH, IN CASES WHERE THE PROPERTY OWNER IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ELSEWHERE TO CARE FOR AN IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER.

AND THEN ALSO IN THE CASE THAT THE PROPERTY IS RECEIVED, UH, THROUGH SETTLEMENT OF AN ESTATE.

UM, AND AT THIS POINT, NO CHANGES ARE PROPOSED TO THE OWNER OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENT, UH, IN ORDER BASICALLY TO PRESERVE THIS SINGLE FAMILY CHARACTER OF OUR KIND OF LONGSTANDING NEIGHBORHOODS AND ALSO MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF PROPERTY MAINTENANCE.

UM, BUT THAT, UH, WHAT PLANNING COMMISSION WOULD LIKE BROUGHT UP TODAY AND THEN MOVING ON, UH, THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD MADE THE RECOMMENDATION FOR CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL AS IS, UH, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WHAT WE JUST DISCUSSED.

UH, AND STAFF ALSO RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AS PRESENTED.

UM, THEREFORE, THE RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL, UH, THE RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION IS THAT CITY COUNCIL MOVES TO INTRODUCE THE NEXT ORDINANCE IN ORDER APPROVING ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NUMBER FOUR, THREE SEVEN AND DIRECTS THE CITY CLERK TO READ THE ORDINANCE BY TITLE ONLY, UH, THAT PRESENT.

UH, THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION AND WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

SPENCER, HOW ARE YOU? UH, CAN YOU TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT THE PETS? I THINK SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY THAT'S GREAT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ALLOW FOUR DOGS INSTEAD OF TWO DOGS, TWO CATS.

BUT I CAN SEE YOUR CONCERN WITH SOME PEOPLE IN, IN SMALLER DWELLINGS SUCH AS APARTMENTS WITH FOUR DOGS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY HISTORY OR KNOWLEDGE OF CODE COMPLIANCE COMPLAINTS WHERE THOSE KINDS OF SITUATIONS? UH, SO STAFF DID ACTUALLY DISCUSS THIS.

AND, UH, I THINK OVERALL A LOT OF PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS, UM, HA ALREADY HAVE STANDARDS THAT THEY APPLY TO THEIR APARTMENT BUILDINGS, WHERE THEY REGULATE, HOW MANY PETS YOU CAN HAVE, HOW MUCH THEY CAN WEIGH, THAT SORT OF THING IF THEY ALLOW PETS AT ALL.

UH, BUT ALSO WE LOOK BACK THROUGH AT LEAST THE CODE COMPLIANCE RECORDS THAT WE RECEIVED.

SO CODE COMPLIANCE COMPLAINTS AND DATING BACK TO 2012, THERE'S ONLY BEEN A HANDFUL OF, OF CASES REPORTED TO AT LEAST CODE COMPLIANT STAFF.

UM, ANIMAL ANIMAL CONTROL MIGHT HAVE OTHER COMPLAINTS AS WELL, BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT WITH ME RIGHT NOW.

UH, WE'LL HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER QUESTIONS.

THE CHANGE IN THE ON SALE ALCOHOL, UH, PROCESS GOING FROM A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, WHICH IS A FULL PUBLIC HEARING AND UH, THAT KIND OF THING.

BUT WE'RE GONNA CHANGE IT TO A MINOR USE PERMIT, WHICH COULD BE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

DOES THAT REDUCE VISIBILITY OF THE NUMBER OF PLACES THAT UH, COULD OFFER ALCOHOL IS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE COUNCIL STILL HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS AN APPLICATION IN SO WE CAN PROVIDE UPDATES IF YOU WOULD LIKE, UH, ONCE THE DIRECTOR HAS REVIEWED AND DENIED OR APPROVED A ONE OF THOSE APPLICATIONS FOR A MINOR USE PERMIT, I THINK IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO KNOW BEFORE THE DIRECTOR, UH, RULES ON SOMETHING SO THAT THE PUBLIC IS AWARE OF ANY ADDITIONAL ALCOHOL.

SO THERE ARE OPTIONS.

CORRECT.

AND THERE ALSO IS THE NOTICING PERIOD FOR A MINOR USE PERMIT.

I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY STAFF THAT COUNCIL OR PLANNING COMMISSION OR BOTH RECEIVED NOTICE OF THAT AS, OKAY, THANK YOU BOB.

ASIDE FROM CHICKENS, I THINK THEY CAN HAVE CHICKENS.

EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU READ IN THE PAPER ABOUT SOMEBODY HAS MULTIPLE PETS OR ANIMALS LIKE 69 CATS OR 70 DOG, WHATEVER.

AND UH, HAVE WE HAD ANY OF THAT PROBLEM IN THE CITY OF EL CAHONE? UM, THAT, OR MAYBE THE SEDITION SHOULD LET YOU KNOW BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT IS A NUISANCE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN SOMEBODY HAS MO BIG MULTIPLES OF ANIMALS.

UH, RIGHT.

[01:00:01]

I'M GOING TO RECOGNIZE OUR DIRECTOR OF PLANNING.

TONY CHUTE AND MARY MARIN COUNCIL.

WELL, UH, ROUTINELY, UH, EITHER COCA PLANT STAFF OR ANIMAL CONTROL DO RECEIVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT NUMEROUS ANIMALS AND, AND WITH THE HELP OF ANIMAL CONTROL, WE DO ADDRESS THOSE.

UM, THEY'RE RARE, BUT THEY DO HAPPEN EITHER CATS, RABBITS, DOGS ON OCCASION.

AND, AND IF I MIGHT ADD BEFORE WE CONCLUDE, I THINK WE MISSED, UH, INTRODUCING SPENCER HAYES.

SPENCER IS OUR ASSISTANT PLANNER AND HAS BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW AND HAS BEEN A GREAT ASSET TO DO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

I'M SORRY.

THANKS CARRIE.

ANYTHING? YUP.

I SHARE STEVE'S CONCERN.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOMETHING FROM, UH, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT SAID THESE ARE THE APPLICATIONS, UH, NO, THAT ARE COMING UP.

MR K, MR KENDRICK, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AS PART OF THIS DISCUSSION, UM, IS WE'RE PUSHING MORE AND MORE THINGS TOWARD A MINOR USE PERMIT AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT, UM, THERE'S SOME VALUE AS WE NOTICE A PROJECT THAT WE NOTICED THE, WE, WE CC THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

SO THERE'S JUST BROADER AWARENESS AMONGST POLICY MAKERS AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THESE PROJECTS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE THAT AS PART OF OUR PRACTICE.

IT'S SOMETHING WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER THIS WEEK.

THAT'S GREAT.

THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY, UM, LIQUOR STORES OPENED UNDER THIS POLICY WOULD THERE? AND NO.

SO THIS IS FOR ON SALE, UH, RESTAURANTS.

RESTAURANTS.

CAUSE I THINK WE'VE GOT ENOUGH LIQUOR STORES, PROBABLY TOO MANY.

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

UM, SO AS I UNDERSTAND IT, YOUR, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT COULD LIVE IN THE ACCESSORY DRAWING, YOU KNOW, THIS WILL BE FAMILY OF THE, THE OWNERS OF THE HOUSE.

UH, NOT NECESSARILY.

SO THE OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENT, UH, IS THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER LIVE IN ONE OF THE TWO UNITS THAT THOUGH THAT WOULD BE THE PRIMARY OR THE ACCESSORY, UH, SO THE ACCESSORY UNIT COULD BE RENTED OUT TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN FAMILY.

OH, OKAY.

WELL THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION.

IS THAT KIND OF THE STANDARD, UH, THAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE, IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE STATE IS PUSHING FOR US TO HAVE MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

UM, AND JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, UM, WAS SAN DIEGO IS MOVING TO STRIKE ALL FEES FOR ACCESSORY DRAWING USE, ISN'T THAT RIGHT? MARIN COUNCIL, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE CORRECT.

COUNTY SAN DIEGO HAS A, UH, A SUBSIDY PROGRAM IN TUNE TO $5 BILLION RIGHT NOW TO ENCOURAGE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT.

CITY OF SAN DIEGO IS LOOKING AT WAVING OFF FEES TO ENCOURAGE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS ALSO LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY REMOVING THE OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENT.

THAT'S THAT CITIES HAVE CONTROL OF NOW.

I'M JUST WONDERING IF WE COULD GET A BRIEF REPORT SOME TIME ABOUT, UH, THE FEES THAT WE HAVE ASSOCIATED WITH, UH, BUILDING, UH, DALIA ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT.

AND, UH, WHAT OUR OPTIONS WOULD BE WITH THEM.

IT'S OFF THE SUBJECT, BUT THANK YOU.

CHAPTER 17 POINT 10 ADMINISTRATION INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT SECTION 17 POINT 10.0 10 ADMINISTRATION INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT CHAPTER 17.115 GENERAL LAND USE REGULATIONS AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS SECTION 17.11 5.13 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS CHAPTER 17.1 40 RESIDENTIAL ZONES SECTION 17.1 40.06 RESIDENTIAL LOT REQUIREMENTS 17.1 40.1 20 ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, 17.1 40.1 70 SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING REVIEW PROCEDURES.

I THINK SPENCER, WE'VE UH, W ONE MORE, ONE MORE QUESTION.

ANY IDEA HOW MANY ADU ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS HAVE BEEN BUILT IN OKLAHOMA IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS? ABOUT 20.

MY ONLY CONCERN THERE WOULD BE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE GOING CLOSE TO A PROPERTY LINE AS THIS CODE, UH, THING, ADDRESSES, IF IT IS OVER 12 FEET, IT BECOMES, IF IT BECOMES A TWO STORY STRUCTURE THAT WE'RE VERY MINDFUL ABOUT THE VIEWS THAT A SECOND STORY HAS DOWN ON THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD OR THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, THEIR NEIGHBORS.

I REALIZE THIS FOR FIRE CODE RELATED TO THAT OR FOR WINDOWS, BUT AS WE APPROVED DESIGNS, LET'S BE MINDFUL OF PEOPLE LOOKING DOWN AT OTHER PEOPLE'S YARDS.

THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

ANGELA, DO WE HAVE ANY SPIRIT CARDS FOR THIS ITEM? WE HAVE NO CARD, SIR, BUT I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOVING.

DONE.

MOVING ON THEN TO ITEM 13 WHICH IS A REPORT ON THE CITY COUNCIL APPOINTMENT PROCESS AND STAFF.

[13. City Council Appointment Process RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council considers the format to evaluate candidates for the vacant City Council position.]

WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THIS? THANK YOU MR MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS AGENDA ITEM IS TO DISCUSS THE METHOD BY WHICH THE COUNCIL WANTS TO NOT ONLY HEAR FROM BUT THEN DISCUSS OR EVENTUALLY SELECT AN APPLICANT TO SERVE IN THE OPEN CITY COUNCIL POSITION.

A STAFF HAS PREPARED A REPORT FOR THIS ITEM AND IN THAT REPORT STAFF'S IDENTIFIED THREE DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT THE COUNCIL MAY WISH TO CONSIDER.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S A LOT MORE OPTIONS THAN JUST THE THREE, BUT WE PROVIDED A THREE AS MAYBE A STARTING POINT AND IT MAY BE HONE OR NARROW DOWN THE THOUGHT PROCESS THAT THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE.

UM, JUST REALLY QUICKLY, THE OPTIONS INCLUDE, ALLOW EACH APPLICANT TO MAKE A PRESENTATION AND THEN, UM, BASED ON THE MERITS OF THAT PRESENTATION AND THE MERITS OF THEIR APPLICATION, UH, THE COUNCIL WOULD THEN MAKE A SELECTION OF WHO THEY WOULD LIKE TO FILL THE, THE APPOINTMENT.

THE OTHER OPTION IS, UM, AFTER EACH PRESENTATION IS GIVEN, THE COUNCIL COULD ASK SEVERAL QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANTS.

THAT COULD BE A QUESTION FROM EACH COUNCIL MEMBER.

IT CAN BE SOME PREDETERMINED QUESTIONS THAT MAYBE TWO QUESTIONS PER APPLICANT.

UM, WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THERE IS SOME, SOME UNIFORMITY IN THE QUESTIONS THAT WAY.

UH, ONE CANDIDATE OR ONE APPLICANT DOESN'T GET A SOFTBALL QUESTION AND ANOTHER GETS, UM, A TREVOR HOFFMAN TYPE QUESTION.

SO THAT'D BE A LITTLE FAIR TO DO IT THAT WAY.

THE, THE THIRD, UM, OPTION IS ALLOW PRESENTATIONS TO OCCUR.

THEN BASED ON THE, AGAIN, THE PRESENTATIONS AND THE MERIT OF APPLICANT APPLICATIONS, THE COUNCIL WOULD, UH, NARROW DOWN THE FIELD BY NOMINATING SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS TO MOVE FORWARD.

THAT WOULD GRANT THE COUNSEL, FRANKLY MORE TIME TO MAYBE DELVE INTO SOME DEEPER QUESTIONS ON THE APPLICATION AND UM, CREATE MAYBE A MORE, A, A MORE, UH, I GUESS MORE OF A, A, A DEEPER VETTING OF THE, OF THE APPLICANTS THAT PROCESS THERE.

THERE ARE CLEARLY SOME PROS AND CONS WITH EACH OF THESE.

UM, TIME HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE PROS AND CONS BECAUSE YOU HAVE 20 APPLICANTS NOW ORIGINALLY 20 TO TWO HAVE SINCE DROPPED OUT.

WE JUST RECEIVED WORD THAT A, A, A THIRD WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TONIGHT.

SO NOW YOU'RE DOWN TO 19 APPLICANTS.

SO, UM, THE FIELDS ARE ALREADY NARROWED

[01:10:01]

SLIGHTLY, BUT, UM, STAFF'S HERE TO HELP THE COUNCIL WALK THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

UH, WHICHEVER PROCESS IS CHOSEN.

STAFF HAS INDICATED TO ALL THE APPLICANTS THAT WE'RE GONNA MEET WITH THEM AT SIX 45, 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETING JUST TO GO OVER WHAT THE PROCEDURE IS.

SO THERE'S FULL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT LAW WILL LOOK LIKE.

THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT THE CITY CLERK AND I WILL DO WITH THE CANDIDATES.

WE WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND AT THAT TIME THAT WE WOULD DRAW NAMES.

SO THERE'D BE SOME RAMMED RANDOMIZATION OF HOW YOU HEAR FROM THE APPLICANTS, NOT JUST ALPHABETICAL.

AND WE PROVIDE THAT LIST TO THE COUNCIL ONCE THAT THOSE NAMES ARE DRAWN.

SO WITH THAT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR HELP COUNSEL AND THE DIALOGUE.

OH THANKS GRAHAM.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

ANY QUESTIONS OF GRAHAM OR OUR STAFF BEFORE WE MOVE ON? ALL RIGHT.

THEN I ASK ANGEL IF THERE'S A SPEAKER CARDS.

WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER, BONNIE PRICE.

HI BONNIE.

HI.

I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH, DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME BUT I'M WITH YOU.

A LIST OF POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS FROM ELCA HOME, BUT I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN ADDITION TO YOUR OWN CRITERIA FOR APPOINTMENT.

UM, I SEARCHED SANDAG DATA AND THE US CENSUS, WHICH IS WHAT THE SANDAG USES AS WELL AS THE REGISTRAR VOTERS.

THE POPULATION ESTIMATES FOR THIS FOR 2020 FOR THE CITY OF A HOME AS 109,587.

UM, THERE ARE MORE MEN THAN WOMEN SLIGHTLY, BUT I RECOMMEND YOU CONSIDER APPOINTING A WOMAN SINCE THERE IS NOT A SINGLE ONE ON THE COUNCIL.

THERE WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO STAR BALES, BUT AS YOU KNOW, SHE LOST HER ELECTION.

UH, THERE ARE 49.3% FEMALES IN THE CITY AND ETHNICITY.

UH, WHITE IS 73% OF THE POPULATION AND HISPANIC IS 29.5%, WHICH IS 30%.

SO USING THOSE DEMOGRAPHICS, IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE IF YOU HAVE A HISPANIC POPULAR PERSON, IT SHOULD BE A FEMALE AND HISPANIC, UH, AGES.

WE HAVE 62% OF THE POPULATION BETWEEN AGE 18 AND 65.

SO THAT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD, UH, GROUP TO A POINT FROM EDUCATION.

MOST PEOPLE IN ALCOHOL, 82% ARE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.

SO I WOULD SUGGEST YOU APPOINT SOMEONE WHO'S AT LEAST THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.

THEY'RE VERY FEW AND ALCOHOL ACCORDING TO CENSUS THAT HAVE COLLEGE DEGREES.

AND I KNOW YOU'RE EXCEPTIONAL UP THERE.

UH, WHICH IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR CITIES AND SCHOOL BOARDS.

UH, HOUSING.

75% OF THE HOUSING UNITS IN THE CITY ARE, ARE, ARE RENTAL UNITS.

SO IDEALLY, UH, RENTERS SHOULD BE REPRESENTED ON THE COUNCIL.

UH, THE MEDIAN INCOME FOR 2017, WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE AN EQUAL NUMBER ABOVE AND EQUAL NUMBER BELOW.

IT'S NOT THE AVERAGE OR MEAN IT'S $50,000.

AND USING OTHER DATA, I SAW THAT L CONE IS NOW SECOND FROM THE BOTTOM IN TERMS OF POVERTY.

SO NATIONAL CITY IS AT THE BOTTOM ACCORDING TO CURRENT POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS FROM CENSUS BUREAU AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS ABOUT EQUAL WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THERE'S NO DEMOCRAT ON THE COUNCIL.

SO THAT ENDS MY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

UNFORTUNATELY, I WON'T BE SURE THE NIGHT TO SEE, BUT I HOPE YOU THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS WHEN YOU'RE MAKING YOUR APPOINTMENTS IN ADDITION TO WHAT QUALITIES YOU KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, THANKS.

THAT'S THE LAST NUMBER OF SPEAKERS, SIR.

UM, WELL COUNCIL'S BACK TO YOU,

[01:15:01]

US A THOUGHTS.

UM, WHY DON'T I START? SO I HAD, UH, WE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS AS FAR AS PART OF THE PART OF THE IDEA IS TO NOT PROLONGED THIS AS IT'S LIKE TWO OR THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

SO I'M THINKING THAT, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OF EACH ONE OF US CHOSE TWO OR THREE? PROBABLY THREE PEOPLE THAT WERE OUR TOP CONTENDERS AND WE BROUGHT THOSE PEOPLE UP, EACH ONE OF US PROB UH, BRING US FOR THREE, FOUR, THAT'D BE SOME DUPLICATIONS.

SO THERE'LL BE LESS THAN THAN UH, UH, 12 AND WE ASK THOSE PEOPLE QUESTIONS THAT THEY MAKE A DECISION BASED UPON THAT.

THAT'S MY THOUGHT.

WE'RE OPEN TO ANY OTHER IDEAS.

UH, I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

MR MAYOR.

I WANT TO, I THINK WE NEED REALLY NEED TO DO A DEEP VETTING HERE.

DELVE, UH, INTO EACH CANDIDATE EXPERIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY.

AFS, STEVE, ONE THOUGHT I HAD WOULD BE TO SAY, UH, AFTER HEARING FROM ALL 19 CANDIDATES, IF WE EACH CREATED A LIST OF BETWEEN FOUR TO SIX NAMES, EACH AND ONLY THOSE NAMES THAT GET AT LEAST TWO VOTES AMONG THE FOUR OF US GO TO THE NEXT ROUND.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF I PUT FORTH A NAME THAT'S AMONG MINE BUT IT ONLY GETS ONE VOTE, IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GET FOUR VOTES, BUT IF IT GETS TWO VOTES, IT GOES OUT TO THE NEXT ROUND AND WE KIND OF ADVANCE THE FIELD THAT WAY.

I DON'T MIND THAT.

AND EVEN AFTER THE SECOND ROUND THAT WE COULD ASK QUESTIONS OF WHOEVER'S LEFT, UM, I DON'T MIND THAT AND THAT GARY HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT TO MAKE SURE IT'S LEGAL? UM, I, I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

SO WHAT WE'D HAVE IS EACH ONE OF US WOULD PROPOSE, BUT HOW MANY NAMES? FOUR NAMES UP TO SIX.

AFTER HEARING FROM THE 19 CANDIDATES, EACH ONE OF US WOULD WRITE UP TO SIX NAMES THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT ROUND.

AND THE ONES THAT GET TWO VOTES AND THE ONES THAT GET TWO VOTES, GO TO THE FINALS, GO TO THE FINALS.

YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO DO IT.

WE COULD, WE COULD HAVE SIX OR LESS, I GUESS.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

AND UH, IT JUST SAYS TWO, WE SAY THIS IN PUBLIC.

DO WE WRITE THIS DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER? I THINK THE SUGGESTION IS HAVING SHEETS OF PAPER, YOU WRITE THEM DOWN AND THEN THE CITY CLERK WOULDN'T IDENTIFY THE COUNCIL MEMBER MAKING THE NOMINATION SO TO SPEAK, UH, OF EACH OF THOSE THAT WERE, EACH COUNCIL MEMBER HAS SELECTED AND THEN KEEP TABS OF, OF WHICH OF THOSE REACH AT LEAST TWO RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COUNCIL.

ACTUALLY THAT'S THE WAY THEY DID IT WHEN I WAS APPOINTED TO THE GROSSMONT QUEEN MACA COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT GOVERNING BOARD BACK IN 1997.

SO THAT'S MUST BE SUCCESSFUL.

UNFORTUNATELY.

IT WENT FOR LIKE THREE MEETINGS AND UH, AT THE LAST MEETING I GOT IT IN THE, IN THE NEWSPAPER GUY SAYS, DO YOU HAVE AN EIGHT BY 10 GLOSSY OF YOURSELF? CAUSE I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE GOING TO GET APPOINTED, SO I DIDN'T TAKE YOUR PICTURE LAST TIME.

GOD, NO, I DON'T.

I DON'T KEEP ONE IN MY BACK POCKET.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO THREE MEETINGS.

WE'LL GET THIS DONE BY, BY SUNRISE FOR SURE.

RIGHT.

SOUNDS LIKE ONE THOUGHT IS AS WE MAKE OUR LISTS WE UM, WE EACH DO THEM INDEPENDENTLY SO THAT UM, IF YOU'RE LAST, FOR INSTANCE, IF I GO FIRST, WHEN YOU GO LAST YOU DON'T KNOW MY SIX PICKS AND YOU CAN ADJUST YOUR PIXEL 40.

I AGREE WITH THAT CAUSE IT GIVES, IT GIVES A IMBALANCE OF POWER TO DIFFERENT MEMBERS.

YEAH, TOTALLY AGREE.

MY SUGGESTION IS THE LIST BE HANDED TO THE CITY CLERK AND THEN SHE READS EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY AND WE'LL TALLY THEM FROM THERE.

AND DO WE HAVE A BOARD WHERE WE CAN WRITE THAT UP SO EVERYBODY CAN SEE? I DON'T THINK THEY'D LIKE MY MARKER ON THIS NICE CLEAN BOARD.

WE COULD TRY SOME WE CAN ACTUALLY PUT IT INTO A POWERPOINT SLIDE.

OH PERFECT.

CAUSE I WANT TO FOLLOW ALONG IT FOLKS, BUT LET ME, WE WEEKEND WE CAN DO THAT.

I THINK IF YOU CAN ENDURE MY TYPING BUT WE WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE TONIGHT.

BUT THAT WOULD MAKE IT CAN BE REALLY VISIBLE THAT WAY IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION OF THE COUNCIL.

SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, DOING, WE START OUT WITH THE RE WE, WE'VE, WE'VE REVIEWED THEIR APPLICATIONS AND THEN WE EACH HAVE OUR, UH, MAYBE UP TO SIX PEOPLE OR THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GONNA GIVE THEIR TWO MINUTES.

DO YOU NEED A VOTE ON THIS OR JUST A COUPLE MORE THINGS? ONE.

SO HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU WANT A LOT FOR EACH SPEAKER.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH THIS VETTING PROCESS, WOULD YOU RECOMMEND TWO MINUTES? I RECOMMEND TWO MINUTES FOR THE FIRST ROUND FOR THE FIRST ROUND AND THEN PERHAPS ONE OR TWO QUESTIONS FROM EACH COUNCIL MEMBER ON THE SECOND ROUND.

SO, UH, DO WE NEED TO VOTE ON THIS OR CAN WE JUST TAKE CONSENSUS?

[01:20:01]

SO YOU CAN HAVE EVERYBODY GIVE THE TWO MINUTES.

YEAH, I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO VOTE ON IT.

I THINK WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOUR, YOUR, UH, IDEA MIGHT BE OR IS AND WE CAN WORK IT OUT.

FAIR ENOUGH.

WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES TONIGHT.

ITEM 14 IS MY ACTIVITIES REPORT.

THERE ARE NO COMMISSIONER REPORTS TODAY.

[13. ACTIVITIES REPORTS/COMMENTS OF MAYOR WELLS: SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments); SANDAG Public Relations Selection Committee; League of California Cities, San Diego Division; Heartland Fire Training JPA – Alternate; LAFCO.]

ITEM 15 IS A LEGISLATIVE REPORT UPDATE AND I'LL ASK OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, VINCE DIMAGGIO TO PROVIDE THAT UPDATE.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, I JUST WANT TO BRIEF YOU ON A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT ARE MAKING THEIR WAY THROUGH SACRAMENTO THAT ARE OF NOTE.

UM, AB THREE 92, UM, IS IS AN INTERESTING BILL.

IT'S A VERY SERIOUS BILL, UH, THAT SETS SPECIFIC CONDITIONS STATEWIDE FOR WHEN DEADLY FORCE CAN BE USED BY OUR POLICE OFFICERS.

THIS IS OPPOSED BY LEAVE CALIFORNIA CITIES JUST BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE SITUATIONS IN WHICH DEADLY FORCE, UH, IS EMPLOYED, UH, ARE FLUID AND THEY DON'T LEND THEMSELVES TO, YOU KNOW, CRITERIA THAT CAN APPLY ACROSS THE BOARD.

THIS IS, THIS IS NOT IN A SUSPENSE FILE, UH, STATUS RIGHT NOW.

SO IT'S STILL AN ACTIVE BILL GOING THROUGH HEARINGS.

UH, WHAT, WHAT THE HOPE IS BY LEE CALIFORNIA CITIES IS THAT A COMPANION MEASURE, WHICH IS SB TWO 30 BY SENATOR CAVALLERO, UM, SEEKS TO ALLOW LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN POLICIES FOR USE OF FORCE.

HOWEVER, THIS IS IN THE SUSPENSE FILE.

NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ONE CAN CHANGE OR THE OTHER, BUT THEY ARE COMPETING BILLS AND GENERALLY SPEAKING, COMEDY ARROWS VILLE IS MORE FAVORABLE TO CITY GOVERNMENTS BECAUSE IT, IT ALLOWS CITIES TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN STANDARDS AND POLICIES, UH, FOR USE OF DEADLY FORCE AS LONG AS THEY, UH, CORRESPOND WITH, YOU KNOW, BROAD PRINCIPLES THAT ARE INTRODUCED INTO THE BILL.

UM, AB FIVE 16 IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT, UH, BILL FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT THAT REMOVES THE ABILITY TO TOW VEHICLES LEFT ON PUBLIC STREETS OVER 72 HOURS.

IT ALSO REMOVES, UH, OR DELETES THE ABILITY FOR THE CITY TO TOW VEHICLES THAT ARE PARKED ON PUBLIC STREETS WITH EXPIRED REGISTRATIONS COMPLETELY REMOVES, UH, THIS, UH, OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF KEEP NEIGHBORHOODS CLEAN.

UM, OBVIOUSLY I THINK WE'VE ALL BEEN AWARE OF, UH, CARS THAT ARE JUST PARKED IN FRONT OF OTHER HOUSES THAT ARE JUST LEFT.

THEY'RE INOPERABLE AND IT, IT'S, IT'S GOOD FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IF THEY ARE LEFT THERE, THERE'S A PROCEDURE IN PLACE WHERE EVENTUALLY THEY CAN BE TOWED.

THIS WOULD DO AWAY WITH ALL THAT.

UM, AGAIN, IT'S NOT IN THE SUSPENSE FILE.

IT ISN'T.

IT'S AN ACTIVE, UH, BILL THAT'S CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A POSED BY THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES.

UM, AB 1332, UM, REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO PUBLISH A LIST, UH, OF BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE COMPLYING WITH FEDERAL IMMIGRATION POLICY.

UM, THIS IS BASICALLY SEEN AS A LIST, A HALL OF SHAME, IF YOU WILL, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE EMPLOYING, UM, IF YOU'RE COMPLYING WITH THE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION POLICY, YOUR NAME, YOUR BUSINESS, ET CETERA, GOES OUT THERE.

UM, AND IT'S, IT'S THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE USED, UH, BY, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN INTEREST GROUPS TO, UM, YOU KNOW, NOT USE THOSE BUSINESSES.

UM, IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE ON THAT SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM OF THE ARGUMENT.

SO AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S OPPOSED BY THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES.

UM, I REPORTED EARLIER, UH, AT OUR LAST MEETING ABOUT AB 1356, WHICH IS THE, UH, RETAIL, UH, CANNABIS SALES, UH, THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SUSPENSE FILE.

SO IF THAT STAYS THERE, UH, IT'S ESSENTIALLY GOING TO BE, UM, DEAD FOR THIS SESSION.

UH, LASTLY, UM, IS SB SIX 35 BY WAYSO HERE LOCALLY.

UM, AND THAT ELIMINATES, UH, THE, UH, STATE TAXATION OF CAPITAL GAINS FROM OPPORTUNITIES ZONES.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT OPPORTUNITY ZONES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL.

WE'RE A HIGH TAX STATE, A LOT OF INVESTMENT MONEY WAS GOING TO STATES LIKE TEXAS AND OTHER STATES THAT DON'T HAVE STATE INCOME TAX.

AND BECAUSE THE, UM, THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX ON CAPITAL GAINS COMING OUT OF, UH, OPPORTUNITY ZONES IS ZERO.

UM, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES.

UH, THERE WAS A LOT OF PRESSURE, UM, TO, TO MATCH THAT AT WITH, AT THE STATE LEVEL.

SO CURRENTLY THIS, THIS IS IN THE SUSPENSE FILE, UH, BUT IT, IT'S UH, SCHEDULED FOR HEARING LATER ON THIS MONTH WHERE IT CAN CHANGE STATUS.

WE'RE HOPING THAT IT DOES DO THAT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD BE VERY POSITIVE FOR

[01:25:01]

INVESTORS OF OPPORTUNITY ZONES TO HAVE THE SAME TREATMENT AS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX ON CAPITAL GAINS.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

THANKS VINCE.

NICE JOB.

BILL.

BOB GOT A QUESTION ABOUT THAT ONE ON EMPLOYERS THAT CHECK ON, UM, UM, IMMIGRATION THINGS.

IF THEY GO THROUGH THE, UH, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND, UH, CHECK TO SEE IF THEY'RE ILLEGAL RESIDENT WITH THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY.

AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S A, THERE'S A PROCESS FOR THAT.

UH, THEY WOULDN'T BE ON THE LIST THEN WOULD THEY? THAT'S NOT, I DON'T BELIEVE SO WHAT IT'S ESSENTIALLY SAYING ARE BUSINESSES AND, OR INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE SOME SORT OF, UM, INTERACTION WITH THE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION POLICY AND IT, THEY, THEY ARE, WHO ARE COMPLYING WITH THE FEDERAL DIRECTIVES IN THAT, IN THAT REGARD, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WOULD HAVE TO PUBLISH THEIR NAME, BUT THESE ARE MOST LIKELY PEOPLE THAT DEAL DIRECTLY WITH AN IMMIGRATION ISSUE.

I DON'T THINK IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO.

I HAVE NOT READ ANYTHING INTO THE BILL THAT SAYS, UH, YOU KNOW, IF SOMEONE THAT'S NOT DIRECTLY RELATED WITH THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE, UH, THEIR BUSINESS WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, PUT ON THE LIST AS WELL.

IT'S, IT'S MOSTLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIRECT INVOLVEMENT WITH, UH, IMMIGRATION ISSUES.

RIGHT, WE'RE NOW ONTO ACTIVITIES REPORTS FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, COUNCIL MEMBER CARE.

THANKS VERY MUCH, VINCE.

ALL
