NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY RESIDENT AND BUSINESS OF THE CITY OF ALCOHOL TO PREPARE THEIR HOMES, BUSINESSES, AND COMMUNITIES FOR ANY TYPE OF EMERGENCY, INCLUDING EARTHQUAKES, SEVERE STORMS, PANDEMICS, AND FIRES.

RIGHT NOW, CALIFORNIA IS EXPERIENCING EXTREME FIRE CONDITIONS AND WEATHER EVENTS, WHICH HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF DISA DISASTER PREPAREDNESS.

ALL RESIDENTS AT THE CITY OF ALCOHOL ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CITIZEN PREPAREDNESS ACTIVITIES AND ASKED TO REVIEW THE READY CAMPAIGNS WEBSITE AT WWW.READY.GOVORTHEHEARTLANDFIREWEBSITEATHEARTLANDFIRE.ORG TO HELP BECOME MORE PREPARED NOW.

THEREFORE, I BILL WELLS BEAR, THE CITY OF EL CAJON.

TOGETHER WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, 2020 TO BE THE NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH IN THE CITY OF EL CAJON.

WE URGE ALL RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLANS AND TO WORK TOGETHER TOWARDS CREATING A MORE PREPARED SOCIETY.

ALL UH, CHIEF SWEENEY, ARE YOU THERE? YES.

.

WELL, THAT'S NOT WORKING, IS IT? CHIEF? I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT WE CAN'T HEAR YOU.

LOOKS LIKE A MUTED.

YEAH, I'LL TELL YOU.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PROCLAMATION, AND THEN IF WE CAN GET THE CHIEF'S AUDIO FIXED, WE'LL BRING HIM BACK.

OKAY.

NEXT, I'D LIKE TO INVITE DIRECTOR RECREATION FRANK CARSON TO TELL US ABOUT 9 2 0 2 OH DAY.

FRANK, YOU THERE? UNMUTE MYSELF? YES, I AM HERE, MAYOR.

I ALSO WANT INVITE PARKS AND RECREATION MANAGER SHANNON J BOOK TO ASSIST WITH THIS PRESENTATION TODAY.

[00:05:03]

OKAY.

UM, GIMME A SECOND.

LET GET THIS GOING.

OKAY.

HOPEFULLY YOU ALL SEE THIS.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DO.

AND, ALL RIGHT, SO WE DO HAVE A ONE TIME SPECIAL EVENT COMING TO THE CITY OF EL CAJON, AND IT WILL BE ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH, CALLED 9 2 0 2 DAY.

IT IS NOT ONLY MATCHING OUR ZIP CODE, BUT ALSO THE DATE IS SOMEWHAT SOMETHING A LITTLE UNIQUE FOR US HERE IN ELCON, AND WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT.

UH, I WILL BE INVITING SHANNON BULLOCK, OUR PARKS RECREATION MANAGER IN JUST A MOMENT TO THIS ITEM.

LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET THIS.

HERE WE GO.

SO WE WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT THIS NOW AS A CITY BEAUTIFICATION DAY, UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE NO MORE THAN TEAMS OF 10.

IT COULD EVEN BE SMALLER GROUPINGS DEPENDING ON, UH, PHYSICAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS AT THE TIME.

ALL VOLUNTEERS WILL NOT ONLY RECEIVE A REALLY COOL VOLUNTEER SHIRT FOR THE DAY, BUT THEY'LL ALSO GET A SWAG BAG THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR, WASTE MANAGEMENT.

WE'LL HAVE TWO DIFFERENT SHIFTS, AND I KNOW THESE ARE SHORT SHIFTS, BUT WE JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE ON THE DAY.

SO WE WANNA LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF TIME, AND IT WOULD BE HIGH IMPACT FOR THE TWO HOURS.

SO ONE SHIFT WILL BE 9:00 AM TO 11:00 AM AND ANOTHER SHIFT WILL BE 12 TO 2:00 PM.

UH, WE ARE LOOKING AT HAVING UP TO 200 VOLUNTEERS.

WE CAN GO BEYOND THAT CAPACITY, BUT WE EXPECT ABOUT 200 VOLUNTEERS.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY REGISTER@CITYOFCAJON.US SLASH 9 2 0 2 OH.

I'M GONNA TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER BRIEFLY TO SHIN AND BULLOCK NOW, AND SHE'S GONNA TALK ABOUT SOME EXAMPLES OF OUR PROJECTS THAT WE WILL BE DOING.

THANK YOU, FRANK.

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.

UM, SOME OF THE EXAMPLES FOR 9 2 0 2 OH DAY, UM, TO HELP UNIFY OUR CITY WILL BE GRAFFITI REMOVAL, UM, SINCE WE DO HAVE A LOT OF GRAFFITI WITHIN THE CITY, LITTLE REMOVAL PAINTING, WEEDING, MULCHING, UM, WHICH WILL INCLUDE SOME CITY HALL AND SOME INTERACTIVE WAY FINDING SIGNAGE.

YOU CAN SEE THE EXAMPLE ON THE SCREEN.

UM, SOME OF THE SIGNAGE WILL BE FROM MILES, SO PEOPLE CAN WALK ONE MILE TO MILE AND IT WILL SHOW THEM THE DISTANCE AND DIRECTION.

UM, THE OTHER ONE WILL BE FOR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, AND THERE'LL BE A QR CODE, UM, WHICH WILL PEOPLE CAN SCAN, AND THEN IT WILL DIRECT THEM TO A WEBSITE THAT WE HAVE ON THE CITY.

WITH THAT WILL INCLUDE THE MAPS.

UM, FOR WELLS PARK, WE ARE GOING TO DO ATION PROJECT TO WELCOME PEOPLE TO WELLS PARK.

UM, THIS PAST LAST COUPLE WEEKS, WE PAINTED THE BUILDING FOR WELL CENTER AND WE WILL INCLUDE AIST THAT'S LOCAL TO EL CAJON THAT WILL PAINT A WELCOME SIGNAGE AS PEOPLE ARE DRIVING INTO THE CITY.

BUT THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE SIGNAGE.

AND THEN WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE US POST OFFICE TO DO A STAMP ON, UH, USING OUR LOGO FOR 9 2 0 2 OH DAY, THAT WHEN PEOPLE MAIL MAIL, THEY'LL HAVE THEIR STAMP FOR WITH OUR LOGO ON IT, UM, FOR THE DAY TO CELEBRATE.

AND, UH, WE DO DEFINITELY WANNA THANK OUR SPONSOR, WASTE MANAGEMENT, UH, FOR SPONSORING THIS EVENT.

UH, THIS IS A, OUR, OUR SECOND ATTEMPT AT AN EVENT THIS YEAR SINCE COVID 19 STARTED.

OUR FIRST ONE OBVIOUSLY WAS JULY 4TH, WHICH WASTE MANAGEMENT SPONSORED ALSO, AND THE GRACIOUSLY SPONSORING THIS EVENT AS A COMMUNITY CLEANUP.

WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THIS JUST BECAUSE SOME OF THE VERY UNIQUE FEATURES THAT WILL BE DOING.

I LOVE YOUR OK.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, MAYOR.

LEMME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

UH, COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR FRANK? NO, THANK YOU.

WELL, FRANK, THANKS VERY MUCH.

UM, DID WE EVER GET YOU NEY BACK OR IS HIS AUDIO JUST NOT WORKING? UH, MAYOR, I THINK THE CHIEF IS HAVING INTERNET CONNECTIVITY PROBLEMS. I'M COMMUNICATING WITH HIM ON TEXT AND HE JUST DOESN'T HAVE A VERY GOOD CONNECTION.

WE'LL CATCH HIM NEXT WEEK.

OKAY, THANKS, FRANK.

AND, UM, NEXT IS AGENDA CHANGES STAFF, DO YOU HAVE ANY AGENDA CHANGES? UH, NO CHANGES THERE, COUNCIL MEMBERS, ANY AGENDA CHANGES? NO.

OKAY, THEN

[7. 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.]

COUNCIL MEMBERS, DO YOU WISH TO PULL ANY CONSENT ITEMS? YES, I DO.

I LIKE TO PULL ITEMS SIX AND ITEMS SEVEN.

OKAY.

LET'S TAKE THOSE, UH, FOR ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WANNA PULL CONSENT OUT.

OKAY, GREAT.

UM, THEN

[6. Award of RFP No. 010-21 – Underwriting Services for Pension Obligation Bonds RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, to enter into an agreement with Bank of America Securities, Inc., for underwriting services for the City's proposed pension obligation bonds, in an estimated amount of $332,403 based on an assumed level of issuance in the amount of $150 million, with compensation conditioned upon the successful sale of the bonds to the underwriter. ]

LET'S START WITH THAT ONE.

ITEM SIX.

THIS IS JUST A QUESTION THAT I HAD FOR GRAHAM AND HE ANSWERED IT FOR ME, BUT I THOUGHT, UH, SOMETHING WE ALL SHOULD KNOW, IT'S A $332,000, UH, SPENDING DECISION.

AND MY QUESTION TO HIM WAS,

[00:10:01]

UH, CLAY, I SEE YOU ONLINE.

IS THAT AN ACCURATE, UM, RECOLLECTION OF WHAT I'M HEARING FROM GRAHAM? YES, SIR.

MORE OR LESS, UM, IN THE INTERVIEWS WITH OUR POTENTIAL VENDORS, UM, THEY SPECIFICALLY DISCUSSED TIMING, UM, AND SOME OF THE ISSUES INVOLVED WITH THAT.

UM, RIGHT NOW, THIS IS KIND OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTION TO GET OUR MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I CAN COMPLETE THE ANSWER.

I WAS ON THE INTERVIEW PANEL WITH CLAY, AND, UH, WHAT HE WAS SAYING IS, IS THAT ALL OF THE PARTICIPANTS, UM, HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS ABOUT WHETHER BEFORE THE ELECTION, AFTER THE ELECTION, UM, AND WHAT THIS ITEM IS, IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN ORDER.

UH, WE LOOK AT OUR, WE, WE LISTEN TO WHAT OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR SAYS AND WHAT THE BANK OF AMERICA BOND PEOPLE SAY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TIME POSSIBLE.

AND WHEN THAT TIME COMES, WE WILL HAVE EVERYTHING PREPARED AND WE'LL BE READY TO GO.

SO THERE, THERE ARE DIFFERENT, UH, OPINIONS AS TO WHETHER GOING BEFORE THE ELECTION OR AFTER THE ELECTION, OR WHEN EXACTLY WE SHOULD GO.

BUT ONCE WE GET THROUGH THIS STEP, WE'LL HAVE PEOPLE LOOKING AT THAT AND WE'LL GO WHEN THE BOND MARKET IS MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TO US.

I ASSUME OUR, I I CONSUME OUR, UH, CONSULTANTS, WE HIRED STRONG OPINION ABOUT THIS.

THAT'S CORRECT.

HE, HE WAS, OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR WAS ALSO THE THIRD MEMBER OF THE INTERVIEW TEAM, ALONG WITH MYSELF AND MR. SHANE.

OKAY.

AND THAT WAS MY, MY QUESTION WAS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ONLY 60 DAYS AWAY FROM AN ELECTION, AND WAS THIS THE RIGHT TIME TO DO ANYTHING? AND I THINK I'VE RECEIVED SOME COMFORT FROM SOME STAFF.

OKAY.

UM, WE'LL, WE'LL TAKE YOU, WE'LL VOTE THEN ON EACH OF THE, THE POLL ITEMS BEFORE WE MOVE ON.

UH, STEVE, YOU, YOU, YOU PULLED THE ITEM.

ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE A MOTION ON THIS ONE? UH, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX.

OKAY.

I'LL, I'LL SECOND THAT.

MAYOR WELL WROTE? YES.

DEPUTY MAYOR OR ORTIZ? YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER GO.

YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER KENDRICK? YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER MCCLELLAN? YES.

MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

LET'S

[7. US Soccer Foundation Grant RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accepts the US Soccer Foundation Grant Agreement to build a hard court arena soccer court at Wells Park.]

THE SEVEN I, THE SEVEN IS THE, UH, US FOUNDATION BRAND.

IT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT PROJECT, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK THE PUBLIC IS INTERESTING IS HOW LONG IS THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT? UH, WHENEVER WE GET FUNDS WITH SOMETHING, I NOTICED THAT AS PART OF THE CONTRACT, THE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, I BELIEVE, HAS UP TO, UH, 20 WEEKS PER YEAR, THREE DAYS PER WEEK, PREFERRED USE OF THE PARK, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY FOR HOW LONG, FOR HOW MANY YEARS? SO I DON'T KNOW IF STAFF HAS AN ANSWER TO THAT.

SO IT'S 10 YEARS AND WE DON'T, WE DON'T USE NECESSARILY US SOCCER FOUNDATIONS, UM, PROGRAM.

WE HAVE OUR REC SQUAD OUT THERE, AND WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING TO RE SQUAD MATCHES THAT VERY WELL.

UH, SO WE CAN UTILIZE EXACTLY WHAT RE SQUAD IS DOING, BUT ALSO GENERIC AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMMING.

BUT IT'S A, IT'S A 10 YEAR, UM, I I PROGRAM, AND MORE OR LESS WHAT THEY'RE EXPECTING FROM US IS THAT WE PROVIDE AFTER SCHOOL HOURS ACCESS FOR FREE FOR ALL AGES TYPE OF THING.

SO, MR. FOLEY, I DID NOT SEE THAT IN THE GRANT.

CAN YOU ENSURE THAT THAT 10 YEAR TERM IS, IS IN THAT CONTRACT? I'M LOOKING FOR IT NOW.

UH, COUNCIL MEMBER GLOBAL, AND, UM, LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FIND THAT ANSWER.

GIVE ME A MOMENT.

SO I BELIEVE IT'S IN NUMBER FIVE.

UM, YEAH, FIVE A TALKS ABOUT THE 20 WEEKS PER YEAR, THREE DAYS PER WEEK.

AND THEN LETTER D, IT TALKS ABOUT THE 10 YEARS IN LENGTH.

UH, AN APPROPRIATE LONG TERM LEASE SHALL MEAN A LEASE OF AT LEAST 10 YEARS IN LENGTH FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE.

SO I, I'M NOT SURE THAT EXACTLY MEANS THAT MR. CARSON, I THINK THAT MEANS THAT WE ARE IN POSSESSION BY AT LEAST, THAT'S NO LIGHT, NO, UH, SHORTER THAN 10 YEARS.

UM, AND I

[00:15:01]

SO I'LL LEAD TO MR. CARSON IF THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION OF, OF A TIME PERIOD OR TERM ON THIS SLEEVE ON THIS AGREEMENT.

WE HAD DISCUSSED IT, UM, NOT ONLY ABOUT THE PROGRAMMING, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER GLOBAL, BUT ALSO THE, THE TIMELINE AND THAT THEY, THEY SAID THAT IDYLLIC WOULD BE 10 YEARS.

WE COULD, WE COULD ADD THAT TO THE AGREEMENT, UH, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.

OKAY.

THEN I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO PROVE ITEM SEVEN WITH THE, UH, AMENDMENT THAT THE CONTRACT TURNED BE EXPLICITLY AT A TERM OF 10 YEARS.

BEFORE WE VOTE ON THAT, WE DO HAVE A COMMENT FROM THE PUBLIC FOR ITEM SEVEN.

THANKS.

THANK YOU.

AND THIS COMMENT COMES FROM STEPHANIE HARPER, AND SHE WRITES, I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT WE ARE TAKING A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WITH WELLS PARK.

THERE HAS BEEN OVER A MILLION DOLLARS BUDGETED OUT FOR THIS PROJECT BETWEEN THE 20 17 20 18 AND 20 18 20 19 BUDGETS.

THERE WERE CDBG FUNDS, WHICH IF NOT USED, NEED TO BE USED FOR ANOTHER QUALIFYING C DBG PROJECT OR PUT F NORMALLY, I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ITEM PLACED ON AGENDA FOR WHERE THESE FUNDS ARE GOING TO GO.

AS IT STANDS, THERE IS NOT, THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE THERE.

THERE IS ONLY THREE PICNIC TABLES.

PLAYGROUND NEVER GOT RESURFACED.

WE NEED A SPLASH PAD FOR OUR LITTLE ONES ON DAYS LIKE THIS PAST WEEKEND.

AND THE WORST OF ALL ARE THE BATHROOMS. THIS ITEM IS GREAT, AND I HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT.

SO LET'S MAKE SURE IT IS UP TO PAR FOR WHEN THE AREA DOES OPEN.

END OF COMMENT.

THANKS.

I DO, I DO WANNA NOTE, NOTE THAT, UM, ANOTHER PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT WE ARE TO PROVIDE REPO REPORTS TO THE FOUNDATION FOR FIVE YEARS.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE INTENT WAS A FIVE YEAR AGREEMENT, BECAUSE AFTER THAT WE NO LONGER HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO FILE REPORTS.

WELL, I GUESS I'M BACK TO MR. PERSON'S, UH, TALKS WITH THE FOUNDATION WHERE FOR A 10 YEAR TERM, I'M GOOD WITH THE 10 YEAR TERM.

OKAY.

SO MY, MY MISSION STANDS, I'LL SECOND THAT.

MAYOR WEL VOTE? YES.

DEPUTY MAYOR ORTIZ? YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER GOBEL? YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER KENDRICK? YES.

AND COUNCIL MEMBER MCCLELLAN? YES.

MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

OKAY.

ANGELA, ARE THERE ANY, UH, PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE REST OF THE AGENDA ITEMS? NOT FOR C CONSENT.

YEAH.

C CONSENT.

THIS IS WHAT I MEANT TO SAY.

UM, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REMAINING CONSENT ITEMS. SECOND, MAYOR, WELL VOTE YES.

DEPUTY MAYOR ORTIZ? YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER GO.

YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER KENDRICK? YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER MCCLELLAN? YES.

MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

THANK YOU.

ALL

State law prohibits discussion or action on items not on the Agenda; however, Council, Authority and Agency Members may briefly respond to statements or questions.

THAT BRINGS US TO PUBLIC COMMENT.

AT THIS TIME, ANY PERSON MAY ADDRESS A MATTER WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL HOUSING AUTHORITY, SUCCESS, OR AGENCY TO THE CAJON REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

COMMENTS RELATED TO ITEMS ON TODAY'S AGENDA ARE TO BE TAKEN AT THE TIME OF THE ADAMUS HURT.

STATE LAW PROHIBITS DISCUSSION OR ACTION ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

HOWEVER, CITY COUNCIL AND HOUSING AUTHORITY MEMBERS MAY BRIEFLY RESPOND TO STATEMENTS OR QUESTIONS, AND AN ITEM MAY BE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA.

ANGELA, DID YOU RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? I DID, SIR.

AND THE SAME PERSON SUBMITTED A COMMENT UNDER MR. MCCLELLAN'S ITEMS, UH, OR REPORTS, BUT, UM, IT'S THE SAME COMMENT.

SO I'M GONNA READ IT THROUGH PUBLIC COMMENT, WHICH IS THE FIRST ONE SHE SUBMITTED.

IT'S FROM NATALIE, AND IT READS, IT'S HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE FOR A COUNCIL MEMBER, MR. WALTER MCCLELLAN TO BE WEARING A POLITICAL HAT DURING A PUBLIC MEETING.

THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME HE'S WORN THIS HAT.

THESE PUBLIC MEETINGS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO FURTHER A COUNCIL MEMBER'S PERSONAL POLITICAL VIEWS.

NOT ONLY IS THIS TROUBLESOME, IT'S LIKELY A VIOLATION OF ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR A SITTING COUNCIL MEMBER.

I REQUEST THAT YOU PLEASE COMMENT ON THE CITY COUNCIL STANCE WHEN IT COMES TO USING PUBLIC OFFICE TO FURTHER ONE'S OWN POLITICAL AGENDA.

END OF COMMENT.

YOUR READ ON THAT, MORGAN? UH, I THINK THAT SITUATION IS THE SAME AS IF YOU WERE HERE AT CITY HALL, UM, CAMPAIGNING AND ON CITY TIME.

SO I CAN AGREE IF YOU SHOULD TAKE IT OFF.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

SORRY, GARY.

OKAY.

UH, ARE THERE MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS?

[00:20:01]

OKAY.

THERE ARE NO WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS ON TODAY'S AGENDA.

[15. Application for Specific Plan No. 2020-0001 for Personal Self-Storage Facility with Increased Building Height RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: Opens the Public Hearing and receives testimony; Closes the Public Hearing; Moves to adopt the next Resolution, in order, approving the California Environmental Quality Act Exemption; and Moves to adopt the next Resolution, in order, approving Specific Plan No. 2020-0001.]

WE HAVE TWO ITEMS TO CONSIDER.

UH, ITEM 15 IS REGARDING THE PERSONAL SELF STORAGE FACILITY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK STAFF TO TELL US ABOUT THIS.

UH, GOOD AFTERNOON.

LET ME SHARE MY SCREEN.

ALL RIGHT.

UH, GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UH, THE FIRST ITEM FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THE STORAGE DISTRICT, A PERSONAL STORAGE FACILITY, UM, ON EAST MAIN STREET.

IT WAS SUBMITTED BY SOURCERS, INCORPORATED BY NANCY BAIN.

UM, MOVE ON HERE.

SO THIS IS, AGAIN, FOR A PERSONAL STORAGE FACILITY.

UH, IT WOULD BE UP TO FOUR STORIES IN HEIGHT OVER A BASEMENT, UH, TOTAL OF 123,000, UH, 800 GROSS, UH, SQUARE FEET.

UH, A PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES A 2000 SQUARE FOOT BUSINESS SERVICE CENTER, UH, WHICH HAS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE BASIC FUNCTIONS AS A COFFEE CENTER, SHIPPING CENTER, UM, AND ALSO, UH, THE OFFICES FOR THE SELF STORAGE FACILITY ITSELF.

UH, THERE'S ALSO OTHER PRIVATE AND PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED, SUCH AS NEW DRIVEWAY ENTRIES, UH, PARKING LOT, AND, UH, NEW ESCAPING.

AND SO TO COVER THE BASICS IN REGARD IN REGARD TO LAND USE, UH, THE GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION FOR THE SITE IS GENERAL COMMERCIAL.

UH, IT HAS A MATCHING ZONING DESIGNATION OF GENERAL COMMERCIAL.

UH, AND THIS PROJECT IS A SPECIFIC PLAN, UH, WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR PROJECTS THAT PROPOSE A GREATER HEIGHT THAN THE UNDERLYING ZONE ALLOWS FOR, UH, IN THIS CASE, THE UNDERLYING ZONE ALLOWS FOR A 35 FOOT BUILDING HEIGHT, AND THE PROPOSAL IS UP TO 50 FEET IN HEIGHT FOR A FO ENTRYWAY.

AND SO HERE YOU CAN SEE THE AERIAL IMAGE OF THAT SITE.

UH, IT'S JUST TO THE EAST OF, UH, SECOND STREET, UH, AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF WALTER WAY, MELODY, AND EAST MAIN STREET.

UH, AS YOU CAN ALSO TELL, IT'S CURRENTLY OPERATED AS A USED CAR LOT.

UM, AND I'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE HERE.

SO, THE PROJECT SITE IS APPROXIMATELY 1.3 ACRES, 57,000 SQUARE FEET.

AGAIN, CURRENTLY OPERATING AS A USED AUTO DEALERSHIP, UH, WHICH DOES HAVE A COUPLE CODE COMPLIANCE ISSUES PRESENTLY.

UM, WHICH STAFF ARE, ARE ADDRESSING THROUGH THE CO COMPLIANCE.

UH, THE ADJACENT USES TO THE SITE ARE A MOBILE HOME PARK, TRAILER PARK, AND THEN SOME MISCELLANEOUS COMMERCIAL USES.

UH, AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE SURROUNDING AREA, ESPECIALLY RIGHT AT THAT INTERSECTION, DOES EXPERIENCE SOME HIGH BUSINESS TURNOVER, AND THERE HASN'T REALLY BEEN ANY NEW PROJECTS IN THAT VICINITY FOR QUITE A WHILE.

SO THIS IS, UM, HOPEFULLY GONNA SPUR SOME NEW DEVELOPMENT.

UH, THE PROJECT DESIGN, UH, IT'S BASICALLY DESIGNED TO SIMULATE A 1940S INDUSTRIAL BUILDING.

UH, AND THERE'S A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS, UH, PROPOSED, UH, TO, TO KIND OF CREATE THAT EFFECT.

THEY'RE PROPOSING SOME BLACK CMU WALLS, UH, WITH, UH, LET'S SEE HERE, UH, BRICK VENEER, YELLOW METAL PANELING, UH, SOME HEAVY BLACK TRIM.

AND THEN, UH, A CLEAR STORY LIKE YOU SEE ON A LOT OF THE NEW, UH, SELF STORAGE FACILITIES AS WELL.

AND SINCE IT IS QUITE A LARGE STRUCTURE, OBVIOUSLY THE MATERIALS ARE, ARE PLACED AND, UH, SITUATED SO THAT THEY BREAK UP THE WALL PLANES AND KIND OF REDUCE THE MASSING OF THAT STRUCTURE.

UH, LIKE I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, UH, THERE IS A 50 FOOT VOCAL ENTRY POINT, KIND OF WHERE THE BUSINESS SERVICE OFFICE WOULD BE, UH, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE STRUCTURE IS 46 FOOT TO THE TOP OF THE PARA.

AND SO TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A BETTER PICTURE OF THAT, HERE ARE THE PROJECT ELEVATIONS.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THAT WOULD BE THE, THE BUSINESS SERVICE OFFICE ON THE GROUND FLOOR, THE TALLER 50 FOOT PARA.

AND THEN THE REST OF THE STRUCTURE, AGAIN, WOULD BE A, UH, 46 FOOT TO THE TOP OF THE PARA.

UH, YOU'LL ALSO NOTE IN THE ELEVATIONS THAT IT IS FOUR STORIES, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE LIKE A TALLER THREE STORY STRUCTURE.

AND THAT'S DUE TO THE, THE LAYOUT OF THE WINDOWS AND THE PLACEMENT OF THE, THE, UH, YOU KNOW, EXTERIOR MATERIALS.

AND THEN HERE ON THIS SITE PLAN, THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS I WANTED TO POINT OUT.

UM, SO THIS PROJECT ACTUALLY EXCEEDS THE, THE PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF FACILITY.

TYPICALLY SPEAKING, THIS FACILITY WOULD REQUIRE 10 PARKING SPACES FOR OUR ZONING CODE.

THEY'RE PROPOSING 25, INCLUDING 13 PUBLIC, UH, PARKING SPACES FOR THE USE OF THAT OFFICE SPACE.

AND THEN NINE, UH, SPACES TO ACCESS EXTERIOR UNITS AND THREE OVERSIZED PARKING SPACES UNDERNEATH THE STRUCTURE ARE TUCKED INTO THE STRUCTURE TO, UH, FOR OVERSIZED VEHICLES.

AND THEN HERE'S A, UH, PHOTO SIMULATION OF THE PROJECT.

UM, ANOTHER FEATURE HERE IS THIS ELEVATED RETENTION BASIN AT

[00:25:01]

AND IN REGARDS TO HEIGHT AND COMPATIBILITY, UH, SINCE THIS IS A TALLER STRUCTURE, WE WANTED TO DISCUSS, YOU KNOW, IF WE, UH, VIEW THIS AS COMPATIBLE, UH, GIVEN THE SCALE OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

UH, EAST MAIN STREET IS OVER A HUNDRED FEET, OR ACTUALLY EXACTLY A HUNDRED FEET RIGHT OF WAY WIDTH, UH, IN FRONT OF THIS LOCATION.

UH, THE, THE BUILDING SCALE IS NOT ANTICIPATED TO BE, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, UH, OVERSHADOWING THE STREET.

UM, AND THEN AGAIN, IN REGARDS TO THE MASSING AND DESIGN, UH, THE PLACEMENT MATERIALS AND THE KIND OF LOOK AS THE THREE STORY STRUCTURE RATHER THAN FOUR DOES HELP WITH THE MASSING AND THE SCALE OF THE STRUCTURE.

UH, OTHER STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN FACILITY VICINITY, EXCUSE ME, OUR LOWER SCALE COM, LOWER SCALE COMMERCIAL, BUT THERE ARE SOME TALLER STRUCTURES ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS EAST MAIN, UH, SUCH AS THE, THE HOTEL, UH, THE BEST WESTERN, AND THE STRUCTURE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THAT.

IN RE IN REGARDS TO THE RECOMMENDATION, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION ON 8 18 20 20, UH, RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL FIVE ZERO.

UH, AND THEIR FINDINGS WERE ESSENTIALLY THAT THIS PROVIDES A COMMUNITY WIDE SERVICE, UH, THAT IT'S A UNIQUE DESIGN, UH, THAT THE BUR THE BUSINESS CENTER WOULD SUPPORT SMALL AND HOME BUSINESSES, PROVIDING THEM AN OPTION TO BOTH HAVE STORAGE AND, UH, SHIP OR, OR MAIL, UH, FROM THE SAME FACILITY AND THAT THE SITE IS IN, IN AN AREA IN NEED OF SOME REDEVELOPMENT AND ATTENTION.

UM, THERE WERE ALSO 11 PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED IN SUPPORT.

NINE OF THEM WERE WRITTEN IN, UH, AND TWO WERE RECEIVED DURING THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.

UH, AND SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT CITY COUNCIL MOVE TO ADOPT THE NEXT RESOLUTION IN ORDER APPROVING THE SE QA EXEMPTION AND MOVE TO ADOPT THE NEXT RESOLUTION IN ORDER APPROVING SPECIFIC PLAN NUMBER 2021 FOR THE STORAGE DISTRICT.

AND WITH THAT STAFF ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

GREAT.

UM, COUNCIL, HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? FORTE, THIS IS, UH, KIND OF OFF THE CUFF, BUT THE PROPERTY NEXT TO THIS PROPOSED PROPERTY IS A VACANT, I THINK COCOA'S OLD RESTAURANT.

DO WE KNOW WHAT'S GONNA BE GOING THERE OR IF THERE'S ANY PLANS FOR THAT PROPERTY, SPENCER OR ANYONE? AS FAR AS I'M AWARE, THERE'S NO PROPOSALS AT POINT.

THANK YOU.

MY, MY QUESTIONS ABOUT SALES TAX.

UM, IF, UH, IF IN THE PAST WHEN WE'VE HAD CAR SALES THERE, HOW MUCH WOULD AN AVERAGE, UH, SALES TAX YOU'RE BRING TO THE CITY? YOU KNOW, I'M NOT CERTAIN OF THAT.

MAYBE, UH, IF TONY COULD CHIME IN.

HI, MARY.

COUNCIL.

UM, CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? YES.

OKAY, GREAT.

UM, MOST OF OUR HIGH, UH, HIGH END SALES TAX GENERATORS ARE THE NEW CAR DEALERSHIPS, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE HONDA TO TOYOTA, UM, MERCEDES, ET CETERA.

UM, MOST OF OUR, UH, USED CAR SALES, UH, TAX, UM, ARE, ARE RATHER LOW.

AND THE SITE HERE, UM, UH, WASN'T GENERATING, UH, SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SALES TAX.

WE THINK THAT THE INVESTMENT HERE, UM, IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WILL BE DONE, THE GENERATION OF BUILDING PERMITS IN THE ENHANCED, UH, PROPERTY TAX VALUES WILL MORE THAN OUTWEIGH THE SALES TAX WAS GENERATED BY THAT, UH, USED CAR DEALERSHIP.

UM, OKAY, WELL, THAT'S THAT AND THE FACT THAT AT SOME, AT SOME POINT WE WERE GONNA HAVE TOO MANY, UH, TOO MANY STORAGE FACILITIES IN ONE TOWN.

I THINK MR. MARY DO BRING UP A GOOD POINT.

I THINK WHAT THE STAFF HAS DONE HERE IS IDENTIFY, UM, AN AREA OF TOWN THAT'S IN NEED OF INVESTMENT, UM, AND, AND AS WELL AS, UH, SUPPORTED, UM, STORAGE FACILITIES DISPERSED ACROSS THE CITY RATHER WELL, UM, THEY ARE NOT CONCENTRATED IN, IN, UH, PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOODS.

OKAY.

UM, OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL? SO I THINK IT'S A NICE LOOKING ABILITY.

UH, I THINK IT'LL ADD, UH, A LOT OF SALES OR PROPERTY TAX TO THE ACT ACTUALS.

AGREE.

BILL, THIS IS, I SEE THIS AS A HIGH END STORAGE FACILITY.

UH, IT, SINCE IT'S MULTI-STORY END WITH THE BASEMENT, IT, IT'S REALLY A GREAT HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR, FOR THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY.

AND, UH, IT, IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING BUILDING, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S STORAGE BUILDING.

IT'S ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN.

SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR, I'M GLAD TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE DEFINITELY A REAL ESTATE ON COUNCIL.

THANK YOU.

[00:30:01]

UM, AND, BUT THE REALITY IS WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY OVER IN THAT PART OF TOWN FOR QUITE A WHILE.

IN FACT, COCOS, YOU KNOW, HAS WENT DARK A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

I TEND TO AGREE WITH THE MAYOR THAT WE REALLY NEED TO START, UH, LOOKING AT, UH, THE CONCENTRATION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF BUSINESSES IN TOWN, CONVALESCENT HOMES, THRIFT STORES, STORAGE UNITS, SO THAT WE DON'T, UH, BECOME, UH, OVER CONCENTRATED, UH, WITH CERTAIN TYPES OF, OF BUSINESSES.

BUT THIS IS INDEED A VERY GOOD LOOKING PROJECT.

UH, IT'S, IT'S CERTAINLY APPROPRIATE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS, AS SPENCER COMMENTED ABOUT THE BEST WESTERN HEIGHT AND THE, UH, WHAT IS NOW THE NEW HYUNDAI, UH, DEALERSHIP HEIGHT.

IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO I, UM, THANK THE PEOPLE FOR THEIR INVESTMENT IN EL CAJON.

RIGHT.

IF NOBODY ELSE HAS ANY COMMENTS RIGHT NOW, I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND SEE WHAT THE PUBLIC HAS TO SAY.

WE HAVE NO COMMENTS, SIR.

OH, WELL, I MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND MAYOR, WE VOTE YES.

DEPUTY MAYOR ORTIZ? YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER GO.

YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER KENDRICK? YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER MCCLELLAN? YES.

MOTION CARRIES.

UH, UNANIMOUS VOTE PLEASE.

SORRY.

OKAY.

SOUNDS LIKE EVERYBODY LIKES THIS PROJECT.

LIKES SOMEBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.

YEAH.

I'LL MOVE TO ADOPT THE NEXT RESOLUTION IN ORDER APPROVING THE SEQUEL EXEMPTION AND ADOPT THE NEXT RESOLUTION IN ORDER APPROVING SPECIFIC PLAN NUMBER 2020 DASH ONE.

SAY AGAIN, MAYOR, WELL VOTE PLEASE.

YES.

DEPUTY MAYOR ORTIZ.
