Therefore please be respectful

00:18:40.766 --> 00:18:42.639

00:18:44.669 --> 00:18:47.171
Do we have any comments from
members of the public for
consent items or items not

00:18:49.410 --> 00:18:51.108
listed on the agenda?
We do make our first public

00:18:58.984 --> 00:19:00.984
comment is MISS Lisa werlau

00:19:07.592 --> 00:19:09.127
.
Hi guys.

00:19:10.763 --> 00:19:12.763
How are you?

00:19:15.467 --> 00:19:17.467
Oh, we've had a couple of busy

00:19:18.837 --> 00:19:20.837
weeks on the mild lately.

00:19:22.507 --> 00:19:24.975
Um, I'm lisa warlow
representing the miracle mile.
I'm the vice PRESIDENT.

00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:29.814
I'm on the security committee,
the bid committee and a couple

00:19:32.884 --> 00:19:35.853
more.
I talked to a couple of you on
some of the problems we've had

00:19:37.890 --> 00:19:39.890
this last year.

00:19:40.792 --> 00:19:42.660
My window as we speak for the
third time this year got broke

00:19:44.930 --> 00:19:46.932
out and I've lost to door.
Now we don't turn those over to

00:19:48.800 --> 00:19:51.469
insurance because we can't
afford it.
It will get dropped.
It is deductible.

00:19:52.305 --> 00:19:54.472
It goes on and on.
I don't feel it's a homeless

00:19:55.907 --> 00:19:57.975
problem.
It's a mental health and it's a

00:19:59.845 --> 00:20:01.546
drug addiction problem.
We're having horrible

00:20:03.181 --> 00:20:05.250
situations.
The DECEMBER 8th there was an

00:20:07.419 --> 00:20:09.419
article on the newspaper in the

00:20:10.889 --> 00:20:12.889
news saying that top cities in

00:20:15.193 --> 00:20:17.610
california with crime in fast
food, violent crime los angeles

00:20:19.431 --> 00:20:21.431
one stockton to two of the

00:20:22.602 --> 00:20:24.636
highest and the most highest of
having problems are on the

00:20:27.407 --> 00:20:28.910
miracle mile are central and
harding way.

00:20:31.544 --> 00:20:33.990
So we've been very upset for a
long time.

00:20:35.147 --> 00:20:36.881
This budget we have was put
together over fifteen years ago

00:20:38.784 --> 00:20:40.618
and it was put together with
the miracle mile and the city

00:20:42.870 --> 00:20:44.688
we about growing our budget.
We're over our budget on
security and maintenance.

00:20:46.425 --> 00:20:48.425
We will be stopping cutting

00:20:51.430 --> 00:20:52.963
services and we're coming to
you guys for help.

00:20:54.633 --> 00:20:56.400
The other day a lady was
beating up a window for

00:20:58.236 --> 00:21:00.205
employees or scared.
They call the police, they come

00:21:02.175 --> 00:21:04.442
out, they can't restaurant take
her away.
She won't go to mental health

00:21:06.812 --> 00:21:08.546
and the police officers didn't
see it happen so they can't

00:21:09.948 --> 00:21:11.982
take her away.
What about the four people in

00:21:13.853 --> 00:21:16.587
the premises?
We keep doing this two days
before that someone went and

00:21:17.389 --> 00:21:18.756
locked their self in midtown
creperie.

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.994
It's bathroom.
We have to put up no lottery,

00:21:24.963 --> 00:21:27.765
no loitering signs.
We have to file paperwork once
a month with the police

00:21:28.801 --> 00:21:30.768
department.
You know they have rights.

00:21:32.905 --> 00:21:34.839
What about our rights?
I mean I should be retired.

00:21:36.541 --> 00:21:38.509
I can't retire and I love this
city and I know all of you guys

00:21:40.178 --> 00:21:42.246
up there too.
Now I'd really like to take our

00:21:44.282 --> 00:21:46.383
city back and start you know,
either send him to mental
health.

00:21:47.652 --> 00:21:49.988
We don't have mental health
facilities or drug places.
This isn't new.

00:21:52.491 --> 00:21:54.491
This has been going on for

00:21:55.600 --> 00:21:57.194
years and we need to stop the
people vote these crazy laws up

00:21:59.650 --> 00:22:01.900
there.
Who do we write the letters to?
Please tell stockton who do we

00:22:03.268 --> 00:22:04.903
write the letters to and tell
them we want our rights.

00:22:07.873 --> 00:22:10.241
Ok again I know you guys want
to help us.
I know there's extra money and

00:22:11.510 --> 00:22:13.679
we're hoping it you blessed us
with some of it.
Ok, have a good night.

00:22:13.679 --> 00:22:15.679
Bye bye.

00:22:17.149 --> 00:22:19.149
Thank you.

00:22:23.588 --> 00:22:25.588
Kathleen capucine

00:22:28.126 --> 00:22:29.527
.
Hello.

00:22:35.233 --> 00:22:37.233
Happy is this thing on?

00:22:39.304 --> 00:22:41.304
Thank goodness.

00:22:44.100 --> 00:22:46.100
Finally report pull in the

00:22:46.245 --> 00:22:48.120
other playground's for our
children tonight I decided to

00:22:51.583 --> 00:22:53.350
come in person with my own seat
but they have some out there

00:22:54.619 --> 00:22:56.619
tonight much how we have

00:22:58.191 --> 00:23:00.458
neglected our children here in
stockton.
We are now doing it to another

00:23:02.328 --> 00:23:04.328
segment of population we make

00:23:06.198 --> 00:23:07.832
disabled and aging adults one
welcome to city hall.

00:23:10.602 --> 00:23:12.602
Ok, I am posted that nobody

00:23:14.473 --> 00:23:16.742
called me just and enjoyed
pacing.
You know when I voiced my

00:23:18.711 --> 00:23:20.711
opinion no COUNCILMAN Can if

00:23:22.781 --> 00:23:24.781
I'm not on a high horse I am

00:23:26.510 --> 00:23:28.510
not a hater but I do believe in

00:23:29.321 --> 00:23:31.222
further consideration.
The christmas tree lighting and

00:23:33.693 --> 00:23:35.693
ball parade was wonderful and

00:23:37.630 --> 00:23:39.290
about a year I believe we took
from council at all the robert

00:23:41.800 --> 00:23:43.768
cruise ship with the open bar
and ride over to the admiral's

00:23:45.360 --> 00:23:46.338
house for pool menu of finger
foods.

00:23:48.307 --> 00:23:50.410
You'd be disappointed to I
understand there will be no

00:23:52.110 --> 00:23:54.440
christmas party for
commissioners as in past years

00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:57.448
because no money was allocated.
It makes me sad.

00:23:59.919 --> 00:24:01.620
It's always nice to have a
simple thank you for those the

00:24:03.855 --> 00:24:05.855
balance here to our city I am

00:24:07.760 --> 00:24:09.760
truly happy hoping that the

00:24:11.630 --> 00:24:13.630
redistricting map is truly

00:24:14.166 --> 00:24:15.800
legit and the one that joe
COUNCILMAN Submitted was

00:24:18.237 --> 00:24:20.338
rejected.
The reason I am only slightly

00:24:22.441 --> 00:24:24.175
perturbed by this action is
because stockton left for 20

00:24:26.244 --> 00:24:28.244
years with obviously

00:24:29.514 --> 00:24:31.514
gerrymandered lines and no one

00:24:33.652 --> 00:24:35.486
not even our city and our 20
plus your city attorney didn't

00:24:37.756 --> 00:24:39.458
tackle the issue.
The corruption never end.

00:24:42.195 --> 00:24:44.195
I can compare it to a county

00:24:45.363 --> 00:24:47.232
supervisor who is turning out
of office yet had one hundred

00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:50.434
and fifty dollars per person
fundraiser on DECEMBER 9th.

00:24:52.704 --> 00:24:54.538
I don't know what's going on
with you guys but whatever it

00:24:57.143 --> 00:24:58.477
is I hope it's taken care of
tonight.

00:25:00.847 --> 00:25:02.614
Amputates both appeal mappin I
hope it's like the city stops

00:25:04.951 --> 00:25:06.951
woman said that she kicked us

00:25:08.530 --> 00:25:10.588
out before it even got started
so there shouldn't be a
problem.
No.

00:25:13.226 --> 00:25:15.226
Yes and if not let the state

00:25:19.899 --> 00:25:21.899
come let them come and

00:25:33.780 --> 00:25:36.148
take it
over.
I want to see somebody get
prosecuted for doing wrong.

00:25:36.148 --> 00:25:38.618
i want to see it.
I honest to GOD want to see how
we can live with gerrymandered

00:25:38.618 --> 00:25:41.530
lines right through ralphy
house.
We're twenty or more years and
then all of a sudden we're

00:25:41.530 --> 00:25:43.122
making a big deal about this
thing so bye bye MR. Chief
jonge, thank you for your
service.

00:25:43.122 --> 00:25:45.624
Appreciate it.
I know I'm on but I mean I'll
MISS You.
That's it.

00:25:46.658 --> 00:25:48.159
Thank you.
Thank you.

00:25:56.235 --> 00:25:58.235
Armando valerio thanks

00:26:01.606 --> 00:26:03.374
.
Good evening, MR. Mayor.

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.279
Council members my name is
armando valaria.
I'm a professional singer to

00:26:09.181 --> 00:26:11.490
church on sixteen thirty three
is main street and I'm on this

00:26:12.918 --> 00:26:14.885
evening to ask for assistance
in addressing crime and
vandalism.

00:26:17.156 --> 00:26:19.790
I have pictures for mayor if
you'd like to see them or I can
give them later in my

00:26:21.930 --> 00:26:22.927
presentation talk a little bit
about that.
Is that ok?

00:26:29.401 --> 00:26:31.401
So as the pictures go around

00:26:31.536 --> 00:26:34.105
what you're going to see is
brown boards right underneath
windows used to be windows but

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:38.109
we put brown boards in there
because they keep breaking
windows.

00:26:39.946 --> 00:26:41.713
You're also going to see a door
that has to look like blue

00:26:43.716 --> 00:26:45.916
papers on the bottom of it.
That's a recent windows that
were broken.

00:26:48.187 --> 00:26:50.200
We also have right in the very
front of the church a burn

00:26:50.655 --> 00:26:52.823
cross.
We also have next to us a

00:26:54.793 --> 00:26:56.661
suspicious fire that burned a
wall that had the virgin of

00:26:59.231 --> 00:27:00.664
mary meuron there and burn the
roof as well.

00:27:02.501 --> 00:27:04.335
We've had our gates broken
stolen items from our gates.

00:27:07.205 --> 00:27:08.939
You also see a deplorable
message those on the church

00:27:13.879 --> 00:27:15.546
door and we have ongoing issue
with the homelessness with

00:27:16.348 --> 00:27:18.348
garbage and creating havoc

00:27:20.852 --> 00:27:22.852
within our church such as

00:27:23.688 --> 00:27:25.689
defecating and garbage.
What we've done is put alarms

00:27:27.726 --> 00:27:30.628
on our buildings.
We have a fence around the
priest house in the rectory as

00:27:32.497 --> 00:27:34.497
well but all that comes is cost

00:27:36.201 --> 00:27:37.735
cost that council member for
guys who knows lower

00:27:39.604 --> 00:27:41.839
socioeconomic neighborhoods
very challenge was very strong
good people.

00:27:43.943 --> 00:27:45.876
But this is an ongoing issue.
We also contacted the police

00:27:47.946 --> 00:27:50.810
department and they've
addressed the issue by
increasing patrols.

00:27:50.882 --> 00:27:52.750
Thank you, chief jones.
There's still an ongoing issue

00:27:55.221 --> 00:27:57.221
that we are frustrated and you

00:27:58.891 --> 00:28:00.825
know a couple theories.
The broken window theory comes

00:28:02.828 --> 00:28:05.596
to mind right away.
You're the criteria for that.
We fit right within that that

00:28:06.865 --> 00:28:09.133
neighborhood fits within that
as well.
You could also use hate crime

00:28:09.868 --> 00:28:12.436
for if you see the pictures
you'll see some of the things
in the burning the cross and

00:28:13.873 --> 00:28:15.439
such as well dispersing
archie's parishioners.

00:28:18.377 --> 00:28:20.377
We're asking for assistance of

00:28:21.380 --> 00:28:23.810
resources, new financial
services, financial resources

00:28:24.950 --> 00:28:27.552
we have as well.
This is an ongoing issue.
The church has been around

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:30.956
since nineteen thirteen.
It's an institution within the

00:28:32.791 --> 00:28:35.292
community.
It provides other services as
well to the community in

00:28:36.662 --> 00:28:38.430
general and the fear of the
pastor at one point when I was

00:28:39.699 --> 00:28:42.299
talking to him was our
buildings are going to be
burned, I'm going to be inside.

00:28:43.668 --> 00:28:46.237
So this is a very serious
matter and it's an ongoing
issue that we have and I

00:28:48.106 --> 00:28:49.840
appreciate any assistance or
any resource allocation that

00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:53.644
you could provide in order for
us to at least minimize or
mitigate the situation that

00:28:55.580 --> 00:28:58.482
we're currently under which I
feel like we're under siege.
Thank you for your time in
listening.

00:28:59.284 --> 00:29:00.919
I appreciate chief jones
congratulations on your

00:29:02.954 --> 00:29:04.355
retirement.
Thank you.

00:29:09.795 --> 00:29:11.795
DR. Von

00:29:14.332 --> 00:29:16.332
mary lincoln.

00:29:18.103 --> 00:29:20.539
Two members of the council.
Good evening and thank you for
the opportunity to be heard.

00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:22.539
I'm zach travon, an attorney

00:29:22.574 --> 00:29:24.241
before this evening on behalf
of gbc llc who's fully

00:29:26.112 --> 00:29:28.613
conforming application for
commercial cannabis commission
use permit was recently denied

00:29:30.149 --> 00:29:32.616
due primarily to objections
from an existing cannabis
business within close proximity

00:29:34.287 --> 00:29:36.587
to the proposed location
without belaboring the merits
of that project, the

00:29:38.557 --> 00:29:40.959
circumstances of its denial or
other potential courses of
action moving forward we come

00:29:42.260 --> 00:29:43.961
before you this afternoon in
the spirit of fairness and

00:29:44.963 --> 00:29:47.932
cooperation we believe a
resolution exists which would
provide an alternative path
forward allowing our

00:29:49.434 --> 00:29:51.836
organization to rightfully
pursue an opportunity granted
through the city's previous

00:29:53.505 --> 00:29:55.173
lottery selection in our favor
at an alternative location.

00:29:57.143 --> 00:29:59.644
This proposal is acceptable to
the council MAY also allow our
respective organizations to

00:30:00.979 --> 00:30:03.348
avoid the unnecessary
expenditure of time, resources
and frustration which MAY

00:30:05.517 --> 00:30:07.284
otherwise result from an
adversarial part excuse me as

00:30:09.550 --> 00:30:11.550
opposed to a collaborative.
What we propose is an amendment

00:30:12.157 --> 00:30:14.426
to stockton's municipal code
which would allow applicants
selected through the equity

00:30:14.426 --> 00:30:16.426
lottery pool system whose time

00:30:16.862 --> 00:30:18.596
was the middle of a commission
use permit application meaning

00:30:19.899 --> 00:30:22.100
all criteria for approval and
are denied primarily due to
objections to location or

00:30:22.100 --> 00:30:25.360
proximity to an existing
business.

00:30:25.360 --> 00:30:26.804
The opportunity to submit a
second and final commission use

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:30.207
permit application in an
alternative location within 365

00:30:31.643 --> 00:30:33.344
days of the city's final denial
of the initial application so

00:30:35.281 --> 00:30:37.648
long as the other criteria are
met on the second application,
this amendment would be

00:30:39.451 --> 00:30:41.887
applicable to any equity equity
lottery pool applicant who
submitted an initial use permit

00:30:43.288 --> 00:30:45.523
application during calendar
year 2021 along with
subsequently submitted

00:30:47.526 --> 00:30:49.460
applications meeting the same
criteria.
We've appreciated the

00:30:51.731 --> 00:30:54.165
opportunity to bring a mutually
beneficial business enterprise
to the city under the city's

00:30:55.501 --> 00:30:58.269
equity program which was
designed to create
opportunities for community
members coming from

00:30:59.337 --> 00:31:01.673
economically disadvantaged or
marginalized communities in
order to promote equitable

00:31:03.875 --> 00:31:05.376
business ownership in the
cannabis industry.

00:31:06.945 --> 00:31:09.480
The school aligned squarely
with the ownership profile of
our principal MR. Hanwang and

00:31:11.283 --> 00:31:13.718
our prospective partnership
with one of the foremost
cannabis brands in the space.

00:31:15.520 --> 00:31:17.955
We do remain confident to give
a commercial cannabis business.
Enterprise would serve as a

00:31:18.356 --> 00:31:20.910
major economic driver carrying
a profound positive economic

00:31:22.260 --> 00:31:24.563
impact in the city.
We've submitted a letter of
intent with the draugr

00:31:24.563 --> 00:31:26.563
amendment language to the city

00:31:26.832 --> 00:31:28.600
through the clerk and would ask
that you please include this in

00:31:30.435 --> 00:31:32.136
your discussions when you
consider the city's cannabis

00:31:33.239 --> 00:31:35.400
ordinance amendments when they
come before you presumably in

00:31:37.275 --> 00:31:39.744
the next couple of months with
some recommendations from the
planning commission this is not

00:31:41.580 --> 00:31:43.248
included in them but this
provides us a collaborative

00:31:45.383 --> 00:31:47.218
path forward.
It brings a an established

00:31:49.870 --> 00:31:50.921
business with a successful
track record in california into

00:31:52.190 --> 00:31:54.292
the city we've already made
commitments as far as
additional community benefits

00:31:54.292 --> 00:31:56.292
that we would offer to the

00:31:57.196 --> 00:31:59.465
community.
We would enter into the
immediate community and the

00:31:59.465 --> 00:32:02.340
community at large through
charitable partnerships that
we've already established and

00:32:02.340 --> 00:32:04.340
we believe this is a win win

00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:07.371
for the city and for our
organization and we hope that
you will give it your

00:32:08.673 --> 00:32:11.509
thoughtful consideration if you
have any questions at this time
I'd be happy to answer them for
you.

00:32:12.377 --> 00:32:13.912
Thank you for your time.
Thank you.

00:32:16.782 --> 00:32:18.782
That concludes our in-person

00:32:20.452 --> 00:32:22.420
public comment but recognizing
the time I would like to ask

00:32:24.490 --> 00:32:26.123
that we proceed to our
continued public hearing

00:32:31.564 --> 00:32:34.132
regarding the district maps
.
Thank you MADAM.

00:32:34.132 --> 00:32:36.132
Sixteen public hearings public

00:32:36.935 --> 00:32:38.669
united redistricting map for
city council electoral district

00:32:40.439 --> 00:32:42.374
boundaries.
I now declare that public

00:32:44.443 --> 00:32:46.310
hearing open.
Thank you mayor and council

00:32:48.713 --> 00:32:50.448
eliza gaza city work before you
this evening is the continued

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:54.500
public hearing from this bodies

00:32:55.320 --> 00:32:57.255
DECEMBER 7th meeting the action
that we are seeking is the

00:32:59.357 --> 00:33:00.958
adoption of the city's new
district boundary maps.

00:33:03.429 --> 00:33:05.629
This mapping process began with
the release of the 2020 census
data.

00:33:07.199 --> 00:33:08.799
The city of stockton
redistricting advisory

00:33:11.169 --> 00:33:13.380
commission met on AUGUST 9th
AUGUST 30th, OCTOBER 4th,

00:33:15.507 --> 00:33:17.675
OCTOBER 11th.
They submitted a map for your

00:33:19.311 --> 00:33:22.130
consideration.
The city council reviewed and
discussed maps based off the

00:33:24.490 --> 00:33:26.490
initial work of the commission

00:33:27.853 --> 00:33:29.853
on OCTOBER 12th the green annex

00:33:31.523 --> 00:33:32.824
map was discussed on NOVEMBER
10th.

00:33:35.394 --> 00:33:37.394
The map was discussed on

00:33:38.630 --> 00:33:40.464
NOVEMBER twenty third the teal
map with direction to further

00:33:42.734 --> 00:33:44.403
discuss any modifications and
explore other opportunities

00:33:46.905 --> 00:33:48.639
were discussed and then the
final meeting the last meeting

00:33:50.709 --> 00:33:52.743
rather was DECEMBER 7th in
which the tiel two map was

00:33:54.614 --> 00:33:56.647
discussed.
This brings us here tonight on

00:33:58.718 --> 00:34:00.785
DECEMBER 14th two thousand
twenty one the day short of the

00:34:03.155 --> 00:34:05.890
final deadline to adopt maps
for us before you are six

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:08.826
legally compliant maps in which
you MAY consider ended up

00:34:10.495 --> 00:34:12.831
tonight.
But we must adopt a map tonight

00:34:15.234 --> 00:34:17.234
so with that I'll turn it over

00:34:17.602 --> 00:34:19.602
to you for discussion and

00:34:21.673 --> 00:34:23.541
adoption.
Can you clarify what would

00:34:25.711 --> 00:34:27.645
happen if we do not adopt a map
this evening?
Certainly mayor.

00:34:29.548 --> 00:34:31.583
If we do not adopt the map
tonight, um, by the deadline

00:34:33.180 --> 00:34:35.180
then the redistricting process

00:34:36.923 --> 00:34:39.123
entirely would fall out of our
hands and it would be subject
to the courts.

00:34:40.693 --> 00:34:43.294
They would not be mandated to
consider any of the work that
the commission or you at the

00:34:44.731 --> 00:34:46.797
council level have done.
So we would lose all control

00:34:48.567 --> 00:34:50.202
over this process entirely.
Thank you.

00:34:51.737 --> 00:34:53.672
Open up for questions or
comments for members of the

00:34:58.710 --> 00:35:00.710
council

00:35:04.183 --> 00:35:06.584
if there are any
questions or comments from
members of the council, is

00:35:08.487 --> 00:35:10.880
there a motion for a particular
met up to this year?

00:35:12.257 --> 00:35:14.257
I believe we have one public

00:35:14.893 --> 00:35:16.893
comment from MISS Levia.

00:35:18.997 --> 00:35:21.599
Um, can a redistricting
advisory commissioner allissa

00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:28.639
levia

00:36:16.888 --> 00:36:18.723
uh, could.
Good evening, mayor city

00:36:19.958 --> 00:36:21.893
council in stockton.
I'm here to address item

00:36:24.362 --> 00:36:26.640
sixteen point one sorry I have
anxiety for the redistricting

00:36:28.401 --> 00:36:29.934
map as my final comment as
commissioner for the

00:36:31.903 --> 00:36:33.771
redistricting commission the
last two times I spoke about

00:36:36.174 --> 00:36:37.642
this I spoke to the city as my
duty under oath.

00:36:39.878 --> 00:36:41.545
I discussed the problems I
experienced while under the

00:36:43.316 --> 00:36:45.683
oath to serve the people of
this city.
Every one of them who reside in

00:36:47.352 --> 00:36:49.860
this land housed and housed
both citizens, the undocumented

00:36:54.250 --> 00:36:56.961
community
.
All people have stopped and I

00:36:59.131 --> 00:37:01.632
told you the people of this
city deserve access to be a
part of that process of

00:37:02.340 --> 00:37:04.202
representation.
It is their right to heal the

00:37:05.971 --> 00:37:07.805
problems that are systemically
oppressing and upholding a

00:37:09.876 --> 00:37:11.742
toxic narrative that we are
miserable city as leaders we

00:37:14.913 --> 00:37:17.181
cannot ignore or project our
own reality of what goes on
here.

00:37:18.417 --> 00:37:20.451
Please just listen if we want
to create and build a better
one.

00:37:22.788 --> 00:37:24.555
Stockton then it is your duty
to commit to voting on a map

00:37:26.580 --> 00:37:28.659
that will keep elections fair.
I told you we need paid
canvassers to go into

00:37:30.129 --> 00:37:31.863
under-represent neighborhoods
language language of residents

00:37:36.935 --> 00:37:38.935
who reside here.

00:37:43.375 --> 00:37:45.677
Uh sorry
language the residents

00:37:48.547 --> 00:37:50.247
who reside here should have
public information translated

00:37:52.250 --> 00:37:54.686
so they can understand and
choosing a map where a
candidate or party worked with

00:37:56.722 --> 00:37:58.423
a firm to benefit candidates or
political party is demanding

00:38:00.826 --> 00:38:02.928
and is illegal under the frame
maps act now I want to talk to

00:38:04.931 --> 00:38:06.697
myself when I the labor I'm
twenty five years old, born and

00:38:08.133 --> 00:38:11.690
raised in stockton.
I went to our public schools.
I'm the oldest child in the

00:38:12.504 --> 00:38:14.473
first generation college GOD
from our amazing community
college.

00:38:16.109 --> 00:38:18.977
Well I mention that because
historically people who look
like me or experience what I

00:38:22.781 --> 00:38:24.983
have you don't you don't see
every day that somebody like me

00:38:24.983 --> 00:38:26.983
can make it up here.

00:38:32.724 --> 00:38:34.425
Um, our shortcomings come from
leaders before you and I who

00:38:36.461 --> 00:38:38.797
chose to listen to their
american individualism rather
than their fellow man and

00:38:40.499 --> 00:38:43.330
there's consequence to that
when you grow up in stockton
you can witness inequity

00:38:44.836 --> 00:38:46.271
whether it affects you directly
or indirectly.

00:38:48.390 --> 00:38:50.410
The spirit can grow and fester
and create internalized
violence.

00:38:52.412 --> 00:38:53.745
It's called transgenerational
trauma.

00:38:56.214 --> 00:38:57.982
The spirit fosters gone
unchecked can grow into bigger

00:38:59.384 --> 00:39:01.452
problems later on.
But the good news is while hate

00:39:02.988 --> 00:39:04.988
co-exist, there's also love

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:09.593
this city has created leaders
who remember the resilience of
the untold stories of the

00:39:10.429 --> 00:39:12.563
american people.
We are no elections matter but

00:39:15.330 --> 00:39:16.901
let's make a choice today not
by our status but from our

00:39:18.336 --> 00:39:20.771
humanity.
Elections affect those who
cannot help themselves.

00:39:22.607 --> 00:39:24.308
Sakti unified school district
and our current historically

00:39:26.211 --> 00:39:28.180
low outcomes are an example of
that over the last election is

00:39:30.149 --> 00:39:32.490
the main contributing factor as
to why currently the children

00:39:33.852 --> 00:39:36.119
are performing four percent
reading your time.
Thank you for math.

00:39:38.123 --> 00:39:39.758
Thank so let's keep these maps
fair.
Thanks.

00:39:41.593 --> 00:39:43.528
Thank you.
We have a written comment from

00:39:45.397 --> 00:39:47.397
minnesota epidaurus MR.

00:39:48.667 --> 00:39:50.501
Derrieres writes the concerns
of green anex to not having

00:39:53.171 --> 00:39:55.673
district represented
represented should not be a
reason that the map is not

00:39:57.342 --> 00:39:59.211
considered viable.
The city has a mayor to

00:40:00.579 --> 00:40:02.346
represent the city and I will
have representation if there is

00:40:05.650 --> 00:40:08.180
a council to represent the best
interests of the city
collectively then we should not

00:40:09.621 --> 00:40:12.890
be concerned with a short
period of time that we do not
have district directly

00:40:13.291 --> 00:40:15.293
represented.
If we cannot trust the mayor or

00:40:15.293 --> 00:40:17.963
council then we have failed to
select the best representatives

00:40:20.633 --> 00:40:22.500
for our city to default and
select tell map one or two map

00:40:24.771 --> 00:40:26.404
two will be a violation of your
oath as a council member.

00:40:28.774 --> 00:40:30.541
The ethical duty once sworn to
protect and serve the city of

00:40:32.411 --> 00:40:34.145
stockton's constituents hoovers
these proceedings process that

00:40:35.514 --> 00:40:37.248
you are so heavily debating
today here morals are being

00:40:39.518 --> 00:40:41.352
challenged today your character
is being displayed publicly in

00:40:43.955 --> 00:40:46.490
the brightest light possible.
The decision and dialog you
engage in tonight to justify

00:40:48.930 --> 00:40:50.462
your choice will be a path that
will guide your direction
through the end of your term

00:40:52.650 --> 00:40:53.799
tread lightly the damage that
council member joe burke has

00:40:55.267 --> 00:40:57.100
created is not for the week or
for those who seek reelection.

00:40:59.738 --> 00:41:01.472
However, notifications of
council member joe breck's ab

00:41:02.841 --> 00:41:05.444
eight forty nine violations and
I ask the city council will not
contribute to the act of

00:41:07.112 --> 00:41:09.112
violating section two one six

00:41:11.160 --> 00:41:13.160
zero one charlie two and two

00:41:13.386 --> 00:41:15.386
one six zero one delta so tea

00:41:17.190 --> 00:41:19.190
partiers christa carlyle writes

00:41:20.459 --> 00:41:22.627
I submitted a comment last
voicing my concern about
redistricting maps.

00:41:24.830 --> 00:41:27.231
I was very alarmed to find that
council member joe brak was
involved in drawing election

00:41:29.102 --> 00:41:30.968
lines that will definitely have
an impact on his own election

00:41:33.171 --> 00:41:34.839
and to find that our political
campaign consultant MAY be

00:41:36.842 --> 00:41:39.343
influencing how we will vote
for the next ten years.
I listened to your comments at

00:41:40.912 --> 00:41:42.680
the last meeting council member
joe beck and you attempting to

00:41:43.615 --> 00:41:46.283
justify your reasons for
cheating and defrauding the
public.
But rest assured that the

00:41:47.753 --> 00:41:49.487
people are taking notice of
your behavior being displayed.

00:41:52.900 --> 00:41:53.858
I hope the attorney general or
fbi takes a good look at your

00:41:55.527 --> 00:41:58.950
sneaky nefarious behavior.
Your campaign consultants now
have gained two more clients

00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:01.967
that were not initially in the
proposed green annex to map

00:42:04.136 --> 00:42:06.103
that as proposed by the
independent community
commission.

00:42:07.739 --> 00:42:09.374
So I would say there is a clear
financial benefit to joe

00:42:11.760 --> 00:42:12.778
breck's consultant and a clear
form of quid quid pro quo.

00:42:14.714 --> 00:42:16.447
You should be ashamed of
yourself and resign if this

00:42:18.550 --> 00:42:21.190
council moves forward with any
sort of decision for the
explicit purposes of helping a

00:42:22.989 --> 00:42:24.723
city council member or a
particular declared candidate,

00:42:27.126 --> 00:42:29.126
you will expose the city to not

00:42:30.430 --> 00:42:32.363
only costly litigation but we
blatantly thumbing your nose to

00:42:34.967 --> 00:42:37.502
the stockton community and
we'll make it clear that you
who suppress this type of

00:42:38.203 --> 00:42:39.970
behavior work for a few rich
influential groups in stockton

00:42:42.410 --> 00:42:43.607
and the people that truly put
you in those chairs.

00:42:44.743 --> 00:42:46.778
Thank you.
That concludes our public

00:42:47.813 --> 00:42:49.813
comment.

00:42:52.684 --> 00:42:54.885
Thank you.
Do we have a motion to or are

00:42:56.210 --> 00:42:57.455
there any any questions from
the council?

00:42:59.725 --> 00:43:01.793
That's what I want.
I think after our last meeting

00:43:03.829 --> 00:43:05.763
to we had the consultant is
independent, isn't that
correct?

00:43:08.908 --> 00:43:10.196
She's an independent person.
That's correct.

00:43:12.304 --> 00:43:14.304
And she said she felt tiel too

00:43:15.874 --> 00:43:17.742
was one that was the best
choice for us to choose and I

00:43:19.945 --> 00:43:21.679
would make the motion that we
do go ahead with tiel to

00:43:23.583 --> 00:43:25.751
looking at all the statistics
and I don't I think it's the

00:43:31.490 --> 00:43:33.324
best one um for us to choose
before we take a vote.

00:43:35.930 --> 00:43:36.794
A mayor, if you could close the
public hearing and then we'll

00:43:38.630 --> 00:43:39.891
address the motion on the floor
.

00:43:42.934 --> 00:43:44.934
I do have a comment myself

00:43:47.205 --> 00:43:49.205
regarding two to I made a note

00:43:53.645 --> 00:43:56.113
of that um, so I think if we if
you look at to um there is a

00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:01.519
portion of toyota that is uh

00:44:06.626 --> 00:44:08.760
not it's not contiguous in that
is and I just noticed that

00:44:10.629 --> 00:44:12.629
today as I was zooming in on

00:44:17.700 --> 00:44:19.700
the boundary lines

00:44:25.477 --> 00:44:27.477
so try to

00:44:28.947 --> 00:44:30.947
create two noncontiguous

00:44:31.817 --> 00:44:33.817
portions of d for long e

00:44:37.856 --> 00:44:39.856
harting

00:44:47.866 --> 00:44:49.800
so just between uh
where that county pocket is

00:44:50.435 --> 00:44:52.435
right.

00:44:54.730 --> 00:44:56.241
Zoom in there.
Those are the two points there

00:44:58.611 --> 00:45:00.611
that are not contiguous so how

00:45:02.481 --> 00:45:04.816
can that this map be in
compliance if it goes to that

00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:10.920
section is not contiguous.

00:45:12.910 --> 00:45:14.910
So I do believe um that there

00:45:16.361 --> 00:45:17.995
is some allowances that we
ought to know with the

00:45:20.650 --> 00:45:22.330
allowances our um city herman
cain now can you provide us

00:45:24.102 --> 00:45:26.872
some feedback there?
Do you mean the two small bump
outs there?

00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:33.760
Yeah, well so how you would how

00:45:33.845 --> 00:45:35.881
you would find categories
corner but also the entire side

00:45:38.584 --> 00:45:40.719
of the street would be in the
district.
It just it just happens to all

00:45:42.120 --> 00:45:44.823
be in the county.
So I think it's one of those
situations where it could

00:45:46.691 --> 00:45:48.691
probably go either way it could

00:45:50.196 --> 00:45:51.963
be attached for instance to a
yellow district below or above.

00:45:53.331 --> 00:45:55.331
But I don't think that's a

00:45:57.135 --> 00:45:59.838
significant point of of of
deviation given the fact that
they're tiny islands sort of

00:46:04.876 --> 00:46:06.876
city

00:46:19.910 --> 00:46:21.193
islands within it county
island.
It's a pretty exceptional
circumstance.

00:46:21.193 --> 00:46:23.395
So I don't know that there's
going to be a whole lot of
issue either way you want to

00:46:23.395 --> 00:46:25.630
place at that small portion so
it's a an assumption it's the
estimates it's so insignificant

00:46:25.630 --> 00:46:28.132
um as to be um really a it
could go either way into either
district depending upon where

00:46:30.269 --> 00:46:32.203
the numbers lie.
But it's such a unique

00:46:34.272 --> 00:46:36.441
geographic situation.
I just don't see that sort of

00:46:40.545 --> 00:46:42.545
configuration very often and if

00:46:44.616 --> 00:46:46.283
there were more concern for
those two purple segments

00:46:49.855 --> 00:46:51.489
within the county pocket, the
original tiamat map would

00:46:52.357 --> 00:46:54.859
absolve that because there
would be no purple islands in
that county pocket.

00:47:03.202 --> 00:47:05.637
So just food for that really,
really quick.
Eliazar, can you turn your mike

00:47:06.405 --> 00:47:08.405
up because I can't hear you.

00:47:10.676 --> 00:47:12.344
I think we're having some
technical issues with the

00:47:14.714 --> 00:47:16.714
microphone so bear with us.

00:47:18.216 --> 00:47:20.818
I was just stating that if the
the purple islands within the
county pocket on the tilt to

00:47:22.989 --> 00:47:24.989
were of great concern of this

00:47:26.580 --> 00:47:27.792
body, the original tiamat would
address that concern whereas

00:47:30.562 --> 00:47:32.329
the purple bump out in that
county pocket they would become

00:47:34.901 --> 00:47:36.901
orange so that that would

00:47:38.770 --> 00:47:40.237
address any concern cards were
kind of a yes.

00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:45.800
What what I struggle with most

00:47:45.877 --> 00:47:47.579
for me is that we've gone from
citywide voting to district

00:47:49.916 --> 00:47:51.916
voting um and that was always

00:47:53.718 --> 00:47:55.586
an important part of how we got
to the point that we are for

00:47:56.622 --> 00:47:58.622
being more equitable.

00:48:00.426 --> 00:48:02.259
So it's hard for me to support
a map that doesn't have

00:48:04.229 --> 00:48:06.497
representation for the people
that I was elected to
represent.

00:48:08.834 --> 00:48:10.568
So I mean it's really hard
because I mean we've vetted

00:48:13.380 --> 00:48:15.380
these these maps and so what

00:48:16.509 --> 00:48:18.243
what would be the process if
there was something that was

00:48:20.712 --> 00:48:23.130
done wrong after this?
i mean so if we approve a map

00:48:24.684 --> 00:48:26.684
that supposedly gerrymandered

00:48:29.540 --> 00:48:31.540
then how does that go about?

00:48:33.225 --> 00:48:34.892
Well, the how how maps are
challenged are generally by

00:48:36.928 --> 00:48:38.928
third parties from outside the

00:48:40.298 --> 00:48:42.167
community or members within the
community who sue um under

00:48:46.671 --> 00:48:48.671
state and federal law alleging

00:48:50.342 --> 00:48:52.176
various types of nonconformity
so it wouldn't be a self

00:48:54.346 --> 00:48:56.313
executing, uh, issue.
Someone would actually have to

00:48:58.384 --> 00:49:00.452
sue and attempt to, uh, change
a map so we don't have any

00:49:02.721 --> 00:49:05.122
indication right now that that
might happen.
But we can we also we certainly

00:49:05.757 --> 00:49:07.525
don't know.
So that's anybody who thinks

00:49:10.495 --> 00:49:12.495
that it's wrong and so we adopt

00:49:13.699 --> 00:49:15.767
one that is believed to be that
way then that's their right.
Sure.

00:49:15.985 --> 00:49:18.470
Sure.
You know, generally speaking

00:49:18.470 --> 00:49:20.470
it's usually these are not easy

00:49:21.874 --> 00:49:24.175
challenges to make and are not
cheap.
They take a lot of work and so

00:49:25.944 --> 00:49:27.678
it's usually a group that has a
particular interest that funds

00:49:29.581 --> 00:49:31.516
these sorts of challenges.
But certainly any citizen of

00:49:33.486 --> 00:49:35.419
the of the community could
could theoretically sue to try

00:49:38.223 --> 00:49:39.857
to invalidate a map and I mean
so we vetted these three

00:49:41.728 --> 00:49:43.994
different times publicly.
Yes.
And people had their chances to

00:49:45.363 --> 00:49:46.697
come and say what what it is.
Yeah.

00:49:49.670 --> 00:49:51.350
So then in my case so I would
be done with my term next year

00:49:56.541 --> 00:49:58.275
so on green green attic's that
would leave district three

00:49:59.746 --> 00:50:01.746
without representation for

00:50:04.150 --> 00:50:06.651
theoretically well you would
still be the representative of
district three although it MAY

00:50:08.220 --> 00:50:09.920
geographically be quite a bit
different than it is now.

00:50:11.456 --> 00:50:12.896
You would still be representing
that district.

00:50:15.527 --> 00:50:17.562
You just wouldn't necessarily
MAY not necessarily live in the

00:50:18.798 --> 00:50:21.233
district.
Right, right.
But I mean in fact you would

00:50:21.233 --> 00:50:23.233
continue and you that would be

00:50:24.202 --> 00:50:26.779
a vacancy because then it's not
up for two more years.
No.

00:50:27.105 --> 00:50:29.508
You would continue your term.
Right.
And then once your term is up

00:50:30.675 --> 00:50:33.770
someone from within the
district who qualifies
otherwise would have to run for

00:50:33.912 --> 00:50:35.847
that office.
Ok, thank you MS.

00:50:45.624 --> 00:50:46.933
Overate for that nation's line
.

00:50:50.530 --> 00:50:52.530
There's two requirements for

00:50:57.670 --> 00:50:59.904
beauty you to think sorry one
for contiguity and one is for
compactness.

00:51:01.606 --> 00:51:03.441
These are from the ballot pedia
website and it's using the

00:51:05.110 --> 00:51:06.811
state's language to contiguity
refers to the principle that

00:51:07.814 --> 00:51:09.581
all areas within the district
should be physically adjacent.

00:51:12.652 --> 00:51:14.352
Um total of forty nine states
require the districts of at

00:51:16.154 --> 00:51:17.888
least one state this they get
the legislative language there

00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:21.860
but they must be physically
adjacent and they don't speak

00:51:23.995 --> 00:51:25.995
to whether they actually have

00:51:28.660 --> 00:51:30.660
to touch each other but they

00:51:31.837 --> 00:51:34.206
are adjacent to each other and
then there's compactness
referring to the principle that

00:51:36.175 --> 00:51:37.976
constituents within the
district shall live as near to

00:51:39.845 --> 00:51:41.812
one another as as practicable.
And we have because of our

00:51:43.282 --> 00:51:45.382
county pockets we have some
issues with practicable.
Yes, obviously.

00:51:46.785 --> 00:51:48.785
And that's one of the things we

00:51:50.560 --> 00:51:52.857
see here.
The other issue that the state
requires us to deal with this

00:51:54.927 --> 00:51:56.695
community is of interest and as
our consultant said last week,

00:51:58.698 --> 00:52:00.698
all of our approved maps meet

00:52:01.867 --> 00:52:03.601
the requirements for community
of interests compactness and

00:52:05.971 --> 00:52:07.705
actually she said that this map
at the requirement for

00:52:13.178 --> 00:52:15.846
contiguity as well
.
Thank you, mayor.

00:52:18.417 --> 00:52:19.784
I just had a few quick
comments.

00:52:21.190 --> 00:52:23.588
Uh, I just want to first say
when I decided to run for
council, one of the groups one

00:52:23.588 --> 00:52:25.588
of the hot topics of the time

00:52:25.657 --> 00:52:27.491
was was the swensson movement
and the folks out at swensson

00:52:29.662 --> 00:52:32.197
and one thing I committed to
those folks back then was that
I would always make sure they

00:52:33.466 --> 00:52:35.733
had a voice.
So uh, at least I took that

00:52:36.368 --> 00:52:38.335
serious and that I would
support uh in any way possible

00:52:40.739 --> 00:52:42.373
to make sure that they always
had a voice a voice in

00:52:43.842 --> 00:52:45.776
selecting the representation
voice to have contact with

00:52:48.146 --> 00:52:50.148
people who represented them.
And to me that's kind of where

00:52:52.317 --> 00:52:54.185
we're at tonight and I kind of
feel by by supporting a map

00:52:56.255 --> 00:52:57.922
that takes away their
representation for two years

00:52:59.357 --> 00:53:02.590
I'd be going against what my
commitment to them back then
was, which is almost five years

00:53:03.295 --> 00:53:06.231
ago.
So when I say I'm a friend of
swensson, I mean it because I'm

00:53:07.699 --> 00:53:10.335
going to be here and I'm going
to support tonight to make sure
that they have a voice for two

00:53:11.170 --> 00:53:13.170
years.
The second thing I just wanted

00:53:14.806 --> 00:53:16.806
to follow up with was if I help

00:53:18.410 --> 00:53:20.410
remind me city clerk when was

00:53:22.214 --> 00:53:24.248
the map supported by council?
What was the date on that?

00:53:26.418 --> 00:53:28.850
That was NOVEMBER 10th.
Who made that motion?

00:53:33.825 --> 00:53:36.260
And second that motion
I
believe the motion was made by

00:53:38.296 --> 00:53:40.300
council member right and
seconded by vice mayor fugazi

00:53:41.660 --> 00:53:43.660
and then what was the vote on

00:53:45.137 --> 00:53:47.500
that?
It passed unanimously six to

00:53:49.574 --> 00:53:51.275
zero with council member ones
being absent that evening.

00:53:52.577 --> 00:53:54.545
So I just I think had you know,
we have a map that for some

00:53:56.214 --> 00:53:57.948
reason was unanimously
supported by this council for

00:53:59.951 --> 00:54:01.752
some reason or another and then
the aftermath of whatever

00:54:03.222 --> 00:54:05.290
conversations happened outside
these doors somehow change
that.

00:54:08.393 --> 00:54:10.395
And if you're going to ask me
what's going on out there, I

00:54:10.395 --> 00:54:13.640
couldn't tell you what I could
tell that this council was was

00:54:15.734 --> 00:54:18.135
unanimously supportive of the
map and then communications
outside these doors happened

00:54:19.471 --> 00:54:21.539
and then that changed.
So I can't I can't speak to

00:54:23.341 --> 00:54:25.343
what kind of communications
happening out there.
I can just tell you that.

00:54:25.343 --> 00:54:26.678
Thank you, COUNCILMAN.
Right.

00:54:28.146 --> 00:54:30.146
And thank you vice mayor fugazi

00:54:30.483 --> 00:54:33.217
for supporting that because it
was you guys who who supported
that and then we supported you

00:54:34.152 --> 00:54:35.587
by voting unanimously
unanimously.

00:54:38.657 --> 00:54:40.657
So thank you everybody.

00:54:42.294 --> 00:54:44.495
Thank you, mayor.
I think that one of the public

00:54:45.931 --> 00:54:47.931
comments that we received um,

00:54:51.203 --> 00:54:53.700
kind of hit the nail on the
head and the fact that this is

00:54:53.939 --> 00:54:55.939
a collective and bringing up

00:54:58.110 --> 00:55:00.110
swensson at that time you were

00:55:01.346 --> 00:55:04.148
on council.
I know I made a promise
actually I'm the one that made

00:55:05.751 --> 00:55:07.485
the first calls around letting
people know what was going to

00:55:08.688 --> 00:55:10.554
be on this special meeting.
I know that COUNCILWOMAN Lenz

00:55:12.524 --> 00:55:15.393
said nope, this wasn't going to
happen.
Council member right said no,
this wasn't going to happen.

00:55:17.496 --> 00:55:19.496
I mean there are a lot of us up

00:55:20.766 --> 00:55:22.566
here swensson had a lot of
voices and a lot of promises

00:55:24.569 --> 00:55:26.437
made to them.
It wasn't just because of one

00:55:28.673 --> 00:55:30.174
voice but because of a
collective voice.

00:55:32.778 --> 00:55:34.778
And again, as we look at these

00:55:35.948 --> 00:55:37.948
maps, we have to make sure that

00:55:40.520 --> 00:55:42.486
that collective voice, whether
we're in this district, that
district, whatever district

00:55:44.289 --> 00:55:46.570
that none of those voices are
drowned out that they're all

00:55:48.361 --> 00:55:50.950
heard, that they all have the
opportunity because as we all

00:55:50.563 --> 00:55:52.530
know and I actually spoke to
students today I said your vote

00:55:55.200 --> 00:55:56.867
is your voice and I would say
in district five and

00:55:59.370 --> 00:56:01.370
unfortunately district six I

00:56:02.774 --> 00:56:04.442
would say in elections we have
individual candidates that

00:56:06.845 --> 00:56:08.612
receive more votes than voter
turnout in district five and

00:56:10.449 --> 00:56:12.716
six.
I know in my election canepa

00:56:14.870 --> 00:56:15.786
received council member canepa
received more votes than the

00:56:18.123 --> 00:56:20.392
total amount of votes in all of
district five.
I don't know how to fix that.

00:56:26.650 --> 00:56:28.650
I don't know

00:56:39.344 --> 00:56:41.980
how to get more
people to show up to vote.
But the northern areas this
city have way more

00:56:41.980 --> 00:56:44.500
participation and the city
clerk can verify that.
I see the deputy clerk nodding

00:56:44.500 --> 00:56:46.418
her head because I'm speaking
the truth.
We do not want to water down
any of the voting power of

00:56:46.418 --> 00:56:48.418
people in the city.

00:56:48.754 --> 00:56:50.754
So for me it really is kind cut

00:56:51.690 --> 00:56:53.690
and dry in terms of making sure

00:56:56.194 --> 00:56:57.528
that every vote has the same
weight.

00:56:59.650 --> 00:57:01.799
Unfortunately like I said,
there are some districts where
you have a lot of voter turnout

00:57:03.335 --> 00:57:04.635
in some districts that you
don't.

00:57:06.638 --> 00:57:09.374
And so this is this is a very
important this in the next ten
years this is the next ten

00:57:10.842 --> 00:57:13.344
years of the city and I hope
that the collective that the
collective always wants to do

00:57:15.213 --> 00:57:17.213
what's in the best interest of

00:57:24.123 --> 00:57:26.123
of the residents of the city

00:57:29.610 --> 00:57:31.610
.

00:57:33.660 --> 00:57:35.833
COUNCILMAN Ramsey, thank you.
Thank you.
Mayor, can you guys hear me all
right.

00:57:37.937 --> 00:57:39.937
You know, I think this is has

00:57:40.573 --> 00:57:42.240
been one of the most
complicated processes I've

00:57:44.142 --> 00:57:46.142
experienced.

00:57:47.846 --> 00:57:49.414
I wish I would have seen more
community engagement.

00:57:51.950 --> 00:57:53.818
I wish I would have seen more
opportunities for us to really

00:57:56.289 --> 00:57:58.289
work through this process.

00:57:59.992 --> 00:58:02.590
But here we are tonight and at
the end of the day everyone is

00:58:04.130 --> 00:58:06.297
not going to be happy but a
decision has to be made and for

00:58:08.667 --> 00:58:10.667
me I'm coming from a community

00:58:12.404 --> 00:58:14.404
in an area where representation

00:58:15.207 --> 00:58:17.374
matters.
I think that every citizen in

00:58:19.644 --> 00:58:21.644
this city deserves to have

00:58:23.516 --> 00:58:25.516
representation period.

00:58:27.919 --> 00:58:30.155
You know, again, it's a
challenging process.
It's a challenging decision.

00:58:30.522 --> 00:58:32.289
But if we don't move tonight
then the courts will have to

00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:36.327
make that decision.
And I think that we are a

00:58:38.764 --> 00:58:40.764
responsible and competent

00:58:42.100 --> 00:58:44.902
enough body to do so and so,
you know, at this point I think
it's just about voting our

00:58:45.137 --> 00:58:47.137
conscience.

00:58:49.742 --> 00:58:51.742
I don't have very much words to

00:58:53.545 --> 00:58:55.213
to say to my colleagues but I
think that we do have a

00:58:56.982 --> 00:58:59.116
responsibility to move tonight
in making sure that everyone is

00:59:01.721 --> 00:59:03.721
represented and and has a voice

00:59:08.260 --> 00:59:09.795
in this city moving forward.
Thank you.

00:59:12.764 --> 00:59:14.498
You know, just if there are no
further questions or comments

00:59:16.201 --> 00:59:17.968
of the council before we
proceed with the motion in the

00:59:19.504 --> 00:59:21.504
second and the vote of isomura

00:59:23.175 --> 00:59:26.770
fugazi.
Thank you, mayor.
Sorry I knew you were going

00:59:28.130 --> 00:59:30.247
there and I thought of
something as COUNCILWOMAN
Warmsley was speaking.

00:59:31.783 --> 00:59:33.451
So when I was talking about the
disparity between north and

00:59:34.786 --> 00:59:36.587
south stockton, one of the
things that concerns me is when

00:59:42.610 --> 00:59:44.128
we have a district that has
more than a thousand or two

00:59:46.364 --> 00:59:48.132
thousand people represented in
that I should say the

00:59:49.901 --> 00:59:51.901
population is has more than so

00:59:53.372 --> 00:59:55.372
many people in that district.
I did the numbers, I crunched

00:59:57.576 --> 00:59:59.576
the numbers and with that

01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:03.648
knowing that more people in the
northern part of the city vote

01:00:05.751 --> 01:00:07.518
than in the southern part of
the city, those are things that

01:00:09.354 --> 01:00:11.822
that do concern do concern me.
so I just want to throw that up
there.

01:00:13.291 --> 01:00:15.291
Thank you.

01:00:15.560 --> 01:00:17.560
Any further questions to the

01:00:19.398 --> 01:00:21.499
council?
I'd just like to take a moment

01:00:23.335 --> 01:00:25.169
and thank the redistricting
commission for your hard work,

01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:28.572
your effort.
Um, you know, every council

01:00:30.343 --> 01:00:32.576
member had an opportunity to
appoint, um, a member to that

01:00:35.447 --> 01:00:37.481
redistricting commission.
So thank you for sacrificing

01:00:38.650 --> 01:00:40.650
your personal time and being

01:00:44.879 --> 01:00:47.359
committed to your city and
doing the best you can to make
sure that we were presented
with the best options with

01:00:47.359 --> 01:00:49.359
regards to the new

01:00:50.829 --> 01:00:52.664
redistricting maps of the of
the public as well who took

01:00:54.366 --> 01:00:56.101
time out of your schedule to
submit, uh, maps and

01:00:58.771 --> 01:01:00.471
participate in this process
outside of the redistricting

01:01:02.474 --> 01:01:04.309
commission?
Thank you uh as well.

01:01:06.780 --> 01:01:07.845
Uh, just state um for the
record that state of california

01:01:09.282 --> 01:01:11.160
election code requires city
council to consider five

01:01:13.518 --> 01:01:15.554
criteria and this is directly
from our website no one is

01:01:17.422 --> 01:01:19.422
geographically contained

01:01:21.927 --> 01:01:23.927
contiguous districts and um um

01:01:25.964 --> 01:01:28.365
nonpartisans each city council
district should share a common
border with the next close

01:01:30.350 --> 01:01:31.570
pazzi no to the geographic
integrity of local

01:01:33.380 --> 01:01:34.805
neighborhoods or communities

01:01:37.209 --> 01:01:38.976
that minimizes its division not

01:01:41.246 --> 01:01:42.980
the city shall be respected in

01:01:45.500 --> 01:01:47.500

01:01:56.895 --> 01:01:58.895
streets, highways, runways etc.

01:02:00.999 --> 01:02:02.999
Close princi another five miles

01:02:04.336 --> 01:02:05.936
shall be drawn to encourage
geographic compactness.

01:02:08.640 --> 01:02:10.608
In addition, boundaries shall
not be drawn for purposes of

01:02:12.445 --> 01:02:14.279
favoring or discriminating
against a political party and

01:02:16.882 --> 01:02:18.882
not dilute the voting power of

01:02:20.753 --> 01:02:22.753
communities of color.

01:02:23.855 --> 01:02:25.855
My vote as the city with

01:02:27.926 --> 01:02:29.693
regarding these disney maps is
based I believe best represents

01:02:31.931 --> 01:02:33.931
the fourth criteria highlighted

01:02:35.934 --> 01:02:38.469
in california election code in
addition, the city of stockton
charter highlights for

01:02:39.380 --> 01:02:41.380
redistricting standards pulled

01:02:42.707 --> 01:02:44.543
directly from our website as
redistricting standards and the

01:02:47.212 --> 01:02:49.212
one the redistrict the

01:02:50.882 --> 01:02:52.717
districts shall contain to be
as nearly equal in population

01:02:55.880 --> 01:02:57.880
as must be according to the

01:02:58.690 --> 01:03:00.891
latest federal decennial census
.
No to the district shall comply

01:03:02.894 --> 01:03:04.696
with the applicable provisions
of the united states federal

01:03:06.299 --> 01:03:08.299
voting rights act of 1965

01:03:09.669 --> 01:03:11.803
section nine section one seven
three of title 42 of the united

01:03:14.473 --> 01:03:16.473
states code as amended and the

01:03:17.944 --> 01:03:20.211
applicable provisions of
federal or state law.
Number three establishing

01:03:22.347 --> 01:03:24.347
boundaries of the districts the

01:03:25.451 --> 01:03:27.840
city only give consideration to
the following factors

01:03:29.755 --> 01:03:31.755
topography, geography,

01:03:32.791 --> 01:03:34.626
cohesiveness, contiguity,
integrity and compactness of

01:03:37.195 --> 01:03:39.195
territory and community of

01:03:40.565 --> 01:03:42.929
interest of the districts
council district shall be
numbered.

01:03:44.236 --> 01:03:46.360
Member for council district
shall be numbered sequentially

01:03:48.241 --> 01:03:50.375
with the council district in
the northeastern most section
of the city.

01:03:52.177 --> 01:03:54.177
No city numbered district one

01:03:56.782 --> 01:03:58.782
as it is based on the map that

01:03:58.817 --> 01:04:01.118
I believe best represents the
four highlighted city of
stockton redistricting

01:04:05.991 --> 01:04:08.893
standards
.

01:04:09.628 --> 01:04:11.628
Final question to the city turn

01:04:14.132 --> 01:04:16.134
the city clerk.
Please explain what the

01:04:18.303 --> 01:04:20.303
deviation section of the total

01:04:24.844 --> 01:04:26.678
population on these maps mean
maps there's a breakdown.

01:04:28.780 --> 01:04:31.282
What is what is that what are
what is the deviation?
What's that what that's

01:04:33.418 --> 01:04:35.152
intended to show is, um, the
relative balance of population

01:04:37.223 --> 01:04:39.490
within each map.
So what it will show is the

01:04:41.126 --> 01:04:43.950
total population within each
map it'll break that down

01:04:45.363 --> 01:04:47.363
demographically and then give

01:04:48.868 --> 01:04:50.701
you the percentages, you know,
in accordance with all of the

01:04:52.370 --> 01:04:54.138
different criteria and you try
to get that population number

01:04:56.709 --> 01:04:58.709
as even as possible among the

01:05:00.178 --> 01:05:02.178
various maps.

01:05:04.150 --> 01:05:06.150
So various districts ok, so if

01:05:08.190 --> 01:05:09.720
one deviation is higher than
the next in comparison

01:05:11.823 --> 01:05:14.192
comparing two maps, what does
that mean?
Well under the charter we're

01:05:15.660 --> 01:05:17.294
supposed to get the population
as balanced within each

01:05:19.640 --> 01:05:20.431
district as reasonably
possible.

01:05:23.735 --> 01:05:26.171
It's never going to be exact
because you're looking at all
the other criteria for

01:05:28.740 --> 01:05:29.841
instance, keeping communities
together that are, you know,

01:05:30.876 --> 01:05:33.377
neighborhoods identified
neighborhoods together that
might result in a little bit of

01:05:37.983 --> 01:05:40.180
an imbalance between districts
.
So it's never going to be

01:05:40.180 --> 01:05:42.355
perfect but we try to get it as
absolutely best as close as we

01:05:42.355 --> 01:05:44.355
can possibly get it.

01:05:44.991 --> 01:05:47.392
So there's a deviation
percentage and then there's a
deviation from ideal.

01:05:49.628 --> 01:05:51.628
So what is what what is the

01:05:57.502 --> 01:05:59.904
ideal even even ok ok it is the
state of california mexico the
city of stockton charter

01:06:01.573 --> 01:06:03.573
require council member recarve

01:06:04.976 --> 01:06:07.344
city council to consider
whether a current council
member resides in the same

01:06:09.514 --> 01:06:10.982
district when drafting and
adopting a map.

01:06:12.585 --> 01:06:14.585
No ok, thank you.

01:06:16.254 --> 01:06:18.589
That concludes my questioning.
Uh, do we want to move forward

01:06:22.994 --> 01:06:24.994
with the um uh so we had a

01:06:26.732 --> 01:06:28.399
motion on the floor um and of
course we need to close a

01:06:34.340 --> 01:06:36.408
public hearing for unclosed.
We have a motion on the floor

01:06:38.440 --> 01:06:40.440
to proceed with that motion.

01:06:44.516 --> 01:06:46.516
So yes,

01:07:00.867 --> 01:07:03.402
ok, can you repeat the
motion?
The motion was to approve with
tiel to map the motion was made

01:07:03.402 --> 01:07:05.871
by council member lente and
seconded by vice mayor gozi.
The council member ray, we can

01:07:05.871 --> 01:07:08.439
cast a vote now.
Thank you.

01:07:12.430 --> 01:07:13.744
Motion passes five to two with
council member fugazi vice

01:07:15.114 --> 01:07:17.114
mayor hegazy and mayor lincoln

01:07:17.383 --> 01:07:19.383
dissenting.

01:07:23.822 --> 01:07:25.822
Thank you

01:07:29.361 --> 01:07:31.361
.

01:07:32.831 --> 01:07:34.965
It's yes mayor.
We do have some written public

01:07:36.601 --> 01:07:38.601
comment.

01:07:40.705 --> 01:07:42.974
Lydia rotty writes this is a
letter in regard to the
proposed poole project at

01:07:44.644 --> 01:07:46.477
victory park.
this property is directly

01:07:48.914 --> 01:07:51.182
across from the existing pool
of victory park.
My family has lived in this

01:07:52.852 --> 01:07:54.619
home since nineteen fifty.
My grandparents bought this

01:07:56.455 --> 01:07:58.956
home for their grandchildren
because it was directly across
from the park and it was a

01:07:59.357 --> 01:08:01.959
source of joy for all of us to
learn how to swim in the pool
every summer.

01:08:03.895 --> 01:08:05.629
I have many memories of summer
swimming here in stockton and

01:08:07.433 --> 01:08:09.968
it was wonderful in the
population in stockton back in
the 1960s was one hundred and

01:08:11.803 --> 01:08:13.637
sixty two thousand fast.
Fifty years later in the

01:08:15.807 --> 01:08:17.742
population in stockton today is
four hundred forty one
thousand.

01:08:19.745 --> 01:08:21.712
The uses of parks have vastly
expanded within one square
mile.

01:08:23.583 --> 01:08:25.416
The park hosts baseball,
soccer, basketball, tennis and

01:08:27.687 --> 01:08:29.487
multiple family parties the
haggen museum, the firehouse

01:08:31.857 --> 01:08:33.624
and a large playground to duck
ponds summer concerts and

01:08:36.262 --> 01:08:38.290
besides all of the illegal
vendors and also legal ones for

01:08:39.298 --> 01:08:41.165
these major ports lie within
one block of picardy drive from

01:08:43.336 --> 01:08:45.103
columbus to pershing you have
the firehouse basketball court,

01:08:47.730 --> 01:08:49.874
old swimming pool and tennis
courts.
The activities and population
have greatly increased over the

01:08:51.376 --> 01:08:53.770
years but the parking situation
has never been addressed and

01:08:54.679 --> 01:08:57.515
has remained the same.
People have nowhere to park and
it is a major problem for the

01:08:58.884 --> 01:09:01.385
people who live on the first
block of picardy drive you have
the funds to address the

01:09:03.255 --> 01:09:04.990
parking problems that the
neighborhood is facing and the

01:09:05.957 --> 01:09:08.526
parking will only become worse
when you open the new pool they
are blocking our driveways

01:09:10.462 --> 01:09:12.970
double parking and parking in
front of fire hydrants.

01:09:14.166 --> 01:09:16.600
We need a parking lot and I
have two people with major
disabilities that I care for in

01:09:17.903 --> 01:09:20.838
this home.
I need to get in and out.
The firemen also need a clear

01:09:22.340 --> 01:09:24.340
path to exit the firehouse back

01:09:24.976 --> 01:09:27.578
when the pool is open people
will double park and let their
children off and wait for them

01:09:29.481 --> 01:09:31.550
to be picked up.
In closing my case my plea is

01:09:32.818 --> 01:09:34.585
that you find a thorough
traffic survey for victory park

01:09:36.788 --> 01:09:39.391
in the summer and especially on
the weekends of the summer.
Please address the need for

01:09:40.525 --> 01:09:42.525
safe passage for the firemen if

01:09:43.729 --> 01:09:45.596
parents are dropping off kids
and those living on picardy

01:09:48.670 --> 01:09:49.734
drive please do a survey of the
community that lives here.

01:09:50.802 --> 01:09:52.437
I believe the last one was done
in twenty sixteen.

01:09:55.741 --> 01:09:57.741
Thank you zoran joven it writes

01:09:59.211 --> 01:10:01.379
I'm a homeowner residing on
pershing avenue.
Thank you for the opportunity

01:10:03.582 --> 01:10:05.150
to comment on the most recent
positive developments

01:10:06.753 --> 01:10:09.420
surrounding our community pool
.
Statistically speaking, victory
park is the most used park

01:10:10.422 --> 01:10:12.422
among the 70 parks in stockton.

01:10:14.293 --> 01:10:16.594
Therefore it would only be that
measure make the school
practical and inexpensive

01:10:18.697 --> 01:10:19.997
improvements to this wonderful
park.

01:10:22.000 --> 01:10:24.636
Therefore this forward looking
plans takes into consideration
that our city is in the process

01:10:26.471 --> 01:10:28.774
of emerging from bankruptcy and
improving our city's
infrastructure will go a long

01:10:30.710 --> 01:10:32.176
way to improving our image
going forward.

01:10:34.447 --> 01:10:36.881
Let us declare that more than a
decade of delays and roadblocks
we will take this prudent

01:10:38.217 --> 01:10:39.951
fiscal responsible and
investment into the future of

01:10:41.954 --> 01:10:44.220
our city and neighborhood.
It's a worthwhile to mention in

01:10:45.358 --> 01:10:47.324
the earlier glory days of
stockton it was the tree in the

01:10:49.594 --> 01:10:51.563
parks that to envy the city.
Let's take this low cost

01:10:53.732 --> 01:10:56.680
opportunity to create a win-win
situation for the neighborhood
and our beautiful city.

01:10:59.539 --> 01:11:01.539
Yours truly zoran valerii nunez

01:11:03.208 --> 01:11:05.744
writes dear city council
members I have lived in
stockton the majority of my

01:11:07.245 --> 01:11:09.447
life and one of my fondest
memories of childhood is going
to victory park.

01:11:11.818 --> 01:11:13.517
My sister and brother and other
friends would ride our bikes

01:11:15.221 --> 01:11:17.955
from delaware to victory park.
We played our twenty we paid
her twenty five cents and spent

01:11:19.325 --> 01:11:21.426
the afternoon in the pool or on
the playground.
I remember the lifeguard

01:11:22.260 --> 01:11:24.628
blowing his whistle to the kids
so that they could all get out
of the pool.

01:11:25.931 --> 01:11:28.900
Then he would add the chlorine
to the water and we'd all sit
at the edge of the pool kicking

01:11:30.236 --> 01:11:33.105
our legs to mix the water.
I remember the in the evening
hours they had family time so

01:11:35.373 --> 01:11:37.410
that you can only swim with
your family as an adult.

01:11:38.778 --> 01:11:40.579
It's so sad to see this pool
sit vacant full of murky water.

01:11:41.513 --> 01:11:43.582
The children these days will
never know the freedoms we had
back then.

01:11:43.582 --> 01:11:45.582
The joy of meeting your best

01:11:46.885 --> 01:11:48.686
pals the pool and then visiting
the mummy at the museum for

01:11:49.955 --> 01:11:51.489
once please put our youngsters
of stockton first.

01:11:54.930 --> 01:11:56.427
Let them build their own happy
memories of summer at the
victory park pool.

01:11:57.830 --> 01:11:59.497
It is my belief that you make a
hometown feel like a home.

01:12:01.234 --> 01:12:03.801
Kids will want to be raised
here and grow their future
families here and then tell

01:12:05.604 --> 01:12:07.571
their grandchildren about the
summer fun at victory park
pool.

01:12:09.741 --> 01:12:11.741
I appreciate you taking the

01:12:12.812 --> 01:12:14.678
time to read my note.
Destiny easter writes I'm

01:12:16.983 --> 01:12:19.383
writing this out of concern
that the measure w citizens
oversight committee is unable

01:12:20.786 --> 01:12:22.520
to provide adequate oversight.
The committee provides

01:12:24.956 --> 01:12:26.591
oversight for all revenue and
expenditures outlined in

01:12:28.561 --> 01:12:30.996
measure w currently the
committee is unable to achieve
its goals due to chronic

01:12:32.632 --> 01:12:34.565
absenteeism committee vacancies
and meeting times of the last

01:12:36.134 --> 01:12:38.134
six meetings a quorum could

01:12:39.405 --> 01:12:42.390
only be met three times.
This issue arises from the fact
that several council members

01:12:44.109 --> 01:12:46.477
have not been able to fulfill
their duties by appointing
committee members to fill

01:12:47.512 --> 01:12:49.947
committee vacancies.
Second, committee members
failed to attend scheduled

01:12:51.550 --> 01:12:53.284
meetings.
Third meeting times are a

01:12:55.253 --> 01:12:57.210
current issue for committee
members and community members

01:12:59.391 --> 01:13:01.693
meeting during business hours
prevents active participation
of committee members and

01:13:03.895 --> 01:13:05.896
community members.
Those who are able to attend

01:13:07.299 --> 01:13:08.999
these meetings are often not
representatives of stockton

01:13:10.502 --> 01:13:12.703
demographics well but instead
are either independently
wealthy, retired or

01:13:14.740 --> 01:13:17.308
self-employed.
I invite the city council and
city staff to consider more

01:13:18.678 --> 01:13:21.110
equitable alternatives to
meeting times a more equitable
and demographically

01:13:22.714 --> 01:13:25.116
representative solution
including holding measure w
committee meetings outside of

01:13:27.185 --> 01:13:29.185
business hours, evenings or

01:13:31.391 --> 01:13:33.925
weekends while also having the
added option for community
members to participate or join

01:13:35.427 --> 01:13:37.795
via conference.
Lastly, to aid the reduction of

01:13:39.640 --> 01:13:40.798
chronic absenteeism, city
council members need to hold

01:13:42.768 --> 01:13:45.504
their respective committee
appointments accountable for
attendance.
I urge council members to

01:13:46.938 --> 01:13:48.572
remind their respective
appointees to report any

01:13:50.877 --> 01:13:52.910
absences prior to the scheduled
meeting times to achieve this
goal.

01:13:55.281 --> 01:13:56.947
The city clerk should give two
weeks notice of upcoming

01:13:57.550 --> 01:13:59.383
meetings giving prior
notification of absences will

01:14:01.486 --> 01:14:04.550
allow the city clerk's staff
and committee members to
consider rescheduling to meet

01:14:05.624 --> 01:14:08.260
them quorum requirements.
I would like to thank city
council in advance for

01:14:09.595 --> 01:14:11.595
considering these issues
identified in this
correspondence.

01:14:13.498 --> 01:14:16.000
I appreciate your dedication
and commitment you have shown
for the city of stockton.

01:14:17.737 --> 01:14:19.670
Thank you.
That concludes our public

01:14:21.339 --> 01:14:22.842
comment.
Thank you.

01:14:24.810 --> 01:14:27.511
on the twelve consent agenda
are there items from the
consent that came to light at

01:14:29.147 --> 01:14:31.147
this time twelve point two

01:14:32.617 --> 01:14:34.617
gebek twelve point one one five

01:14:39.920 --> 01:14:40.958
twelve point five
twelve point

01:14:47.990 --> 01:14:48.466
two moved to approve the
remainder.

01:14:53.772 --> 01:14:55.772
Second your

01:15:02.347 --> 01:15:04.490
motion passes seven
zero.
Thank you.

01:15:06.753 --> 01:15:08.252
Twelve point one paul can't
watch your back.

01:15:10.890 --> 01:15:12.691
Yeah, I just wanted to I've had
the opportunity to to work with

01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:16.160
MR. Singh over the last several
years and he's such a pleasure

01:15:17.129 --> 01:15:19.463
to work with.
He's just a really genuinely
good person.

01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:23.701
So I was so happy to see that
he really reapplied to this
commission.

01:15:25.771 --> 01:15:28.380
You want to talk about a huge
advocate for our team on the
committee community?

01:15:29.341 --> 01:15:30.875
He's one of them so I'm happy
he's doing it.

01:15:33.245 --> 01:15:35.120
He's awesome and encourage to
keep it up because he's

01:15:37.282 --> 01:15:39.116
definitely a bright a bright
star out there representing the

01:15:40.352 --> 01:15:42.353
rtg.
I'm happy to make that motion.

01:15:44.590 --> 01:15:46.590
Maybe I'll second that motion

01:15:47.894 --> 01:15:50.728
and know that I spoke to him
way back when I was a planning
commissioner and he wanted to

01:15:52.697 --> 01:15:54.465
get involved and I told them to
apply for the cultural heritage

01:15:55.634 --> 01:15:57.368
board and that is the kind of
he says the stepping stone of

01:15:59.704 --> 01:16:01.472
how he got involved in all of
this and actually he's on a

01:16:03.108 --> 01:16:05.108
huge another committee

01:16:07.380 --> 01:16:09.346
representing the state and so
it is and he's an example of

01:16:11.840 --> 01:16:13.840
what we want in our community

01:16:14.219 --> 01:16:16.287
in terms of making sure that we
embrace all parts of our city

01:16:19.910 --> 01:16:21.910
and our internal assets that we

01:16:22.527 --> 01:16:24.527
have with people.

01:16:25.331 --> 01:16:27.331
So I second that motion you

01:16:31.536 --> 01:16:34.380
casey boltzmann's
jim parsons
seven zero.

01:16:36.274 --> 01:16:38.242
Thank you.
Ten twelve point five also

01:16:40.112 --> 01:16:42.580
pulled by council member gebek
.
I mean I can do two oh I'm

01:16:44.417 --> 01:16:46.417
sorry I pulled yeah right.

01:16:48.220 --> 01:16:50.540
So as I look at the resolution
I have a little cognitive

01:16:51.491 --> 01:16:53.357
dissonance here.
It says positions on the

01:16:55.427 --> 01:16:57.729
planning commission directly
appointed by city council
members with terms that

01:17:00.990 --> 01:17:02.267
coincide with the appointing
council member ok and then down

01:17:07.305 --> 01:17:09.305
below

01:17:22.188 --> 01:17:24.723
it says the terms should
end on JANUARY 31st, 2023,
which will be a month after the

01:17:24.723 --> 01:17:26.925
term of the council member is
is a reason for that.
Yes.
Historically the council

01:17:26.925 --> 01:17:28.994
members take office JANUARY 1st
and then within that 30 day
window council members will

01:17:28.994 --> 01:17:30.996
have the opportunity to vet
their candidates that they
would like to point.

01:17:30.996 --> 01:17:33.660
Some council members come in
with the notion of who they're
going to appoint already and

01:17:33.660 --> 01:17:35.367
don't require that time.
But this is traditionally how

01:17:35.367 --> 01:17:37.367
it's been handled.

01:17:38.770 --> 01:17:40.704
It's I'm ok with that.
But then it should it shouldn't

01:17:42.809 --> 01:17:44.442
state that it coincides the
appointing council member.

01:17:46.812 --> 01:17:48.345
So I mean there's there's a
misstatement there.

01:17:51.817 --> 01:17:53.452
So I I don't know if we can fix
that language, you know,

01:17:55.220 --> 01:17:57.540
somehow and then again there's
an error down below or up above

01:17:58.356 --> 01:18:00.356
it says districts one three and

01:18:01.828 --> 01:18:03.828
five and then in no one down

01:18:05.898 --> 01:18:07.865
below it says districts one,
two and three and then instead

01:18:09.401 --> 01:18:11.135
of saying item number two it
says item number four because

01:18:12.838 --> 01:18:14.572
it followed the list of council
districts so it should read

01:18:17.800 --> 01:18:18.609
council district one district
to district three sorry

01:18:21.120 --> 01:18:23.347
district one district three,
district five with the
corresponding name strato

01:18:25.250 --> 01:18:27.119
garc^a sanguinity and savir
mountain and then where it says

01:18:29.287 --> 01:18:30.988
number four that should be
number two the city manager's

01:18:32.991 --> 01:18:34.991
authorized city attorney is

01:18:36.528 --> 01:18:37.928
this am I making much ado about
nothing or.

01:18:41.199 --> 01:18:43.235
Well I think it can go either
way.
The statement that it coincides

01:18:43.736 --> 01:18:45.770
with the terms as a general
statement the specific date is

01:18:48.373 --> 01:18:50.742
then provided but the general
idea is that each council
member has their commissioner

01:18:52.110 --> 01:18:54.413
for their term.
Yeah, yeah.
The only way ultimately the

01:18:56.140 --> 01:18:57.849
word then generally coincides
with the appointing council

01:18:59.885 --> 01:19:02.586
member.
We could certainly add that
because this this reads as an

01:19:04.456 --> 01:19:06.456
exact match and that that

01:19:07.125 --> 01:19:09.360
troubles me.
Understood.
We can certainly make that

01:19:10.195 --> 01:19:12.195
change and the other

01:19:14.266 --> 01:19:16.000
corrections like that.
Thank you.
Yes.

01:19:17.536 --> 01:19:19.303
Uh, planning commission meets
the second and fourth thursday

01:19:21.174 --> 01:19:23.741
of the month.
we usually have our swearing in
ceremony at the beginning of

01:19:25.677 --> 01:19:27.311
the month and it has been just
that we haven't done

01:19:29.181 --> 01:19:31.149
appointments.
So when I was elected then my

01:19:33.119 --> 01:19:34.486
seat was vacant then until
FEBRUARY.

01:19:36.210 --> 01:19:38.623
I know also with COUNCILWOMAN
Warmsley and council member joe
brak same thing because we came

01:19:39.891 --> 01:19:41.626
from planning commission here
but they're doing work.

01:19:44.297 --> 01:19:46.297
I mean you guys know how how

01:19:47.899 --> 01:19:49.133
much they have on their agenda
.

01:19:52.300 --> 01:19:54.300
So to have anybody absent then

01:19:56.146 --> 01:19:58.376
it makes it difficult.
So I'm I'm definitely in
support of this item so that we

01:19:59.911 --> 01:20:01.780
make sure that we have that
quorum that we need and and

01:20:07.920 --> 01:20:09.342
representation that's our
number.

01:20:11.690 --> 01:20:13.690
I would much my concern on jan

01:20:16.395 --> 01:20:18.263
depravations as you have no is
people know that they were kind

01:20:19.698 --> 01:20:22.166
enough to be there.
Yeah.
So with people traveling on the

01:20:24.350 --> 01:20:26.350
holidays it was almost as we

01:20:27.239 --> 01:20:29.107
kind of it was easier and
slower years you and not having

01:20:31.276 --> 01:20:33.430
an early JANUARY meeting and
sometimes I would like to have

01:20:34.579 --> 01:20:36.214
a general meeting all so they
can address that issue.

01:20:38.885 --> 01:20:41.787
But she's exactly right as
we're moving in the planning
commission here any kind of
stuff.

01:20:42.954 --> 01:20:45.220
But we're seeing it happens to
have a few people not to go up

01:20:46.491 --> 01:20:48.193
and then something happened to
the a forum where people who

01:20:49.995 --> 01:20:51.863
are putting applications pay a
lot of money to be heard from

01:20:53.533 --> 01:20:55.700
those places.
So it's not fair to them, uh,

01:20:58.870 --> 01:21:00.870
to do that and not have not had

01:21:02.175 --> 01:21:03.909
the for the time is money would
be appropriate for every day

01:21:06.111 --> 01:21:08.111
that these folks aren't meeting

01:21:08.514 --> 01:21:10.514
the public tonight or events in

01:21:12.585 --> 01:21:14.518
taking them economically
whether it meant if they were

01:21:16.888 --> 01:21:18.656
to move on so whatever it takes
to get make sure we have more

01:21:24.290 --> 01:21:25.429
of a jan harverson and I second
you motion.

01:21:26.364 --> 01:21:28.364
Yes, I'll second guess you both

01:21:29.634 --> 01:21:31.634
please.

01:21:33.705 --> 01:21:36.740
Motion passes seven zero.
Thank you.
And agenda item twelve point

01:21:37.909 --> 01:21:40.212
five pulled by COUNCILMAN
Ridgeback.
Yeah I I'm just going to speak

01:21:42.181 --> 01:21:44.482
to the one thing that's I'm
sure vice mayor is going to
talk about victory park.

01:21:45.118 --> 01:21:46.918
I'm thrilled our victory park I
let her kind of champion that I

01:21:49.540 --> 01:21:50.755
just want to mention the other
half of that item that got

01:21:52.791 --> 01:21:55.292
broken with that and all all
I'm going to say is this
wouldn't have happened if not

01:21:56.561 --> 01:21:58.463
for three people.
We'll start with florence.

01:22:01.166 --> 01:22:02.833
Florence is who helped me reach
out to probably the most

01:22:04.669 --> 01:22:06.671
important person in the city to
help me put a letter a letter

01:22:07.607 --> 01:22:09.540
together and now director
massie, if not for her that

01:22:11.711 --> 01:22:14.378
that letter wouldn't have been
put through.
We were on such a a quick

01:22:16.448 --> 01:22:18.448
timeline and most often we hear

01:22:19.552 --> 01:22:21.485
that we try to do these things
to the state where we're often

01:22:22.955 --> 01:22:24.689
not funded so thank you
director almassian then finally

01:22:26.958 --> 01:22:28.958
thank you assembly member

01:22:30.629 --> 01:22:32.363
assembly member of laputa who
advocated for that project.

01:22:35.333 --> 01:22:37.200
It's really hard when you look
out to see just how many

01:22:38.971 --> 01:22:40.938
projects we need so one less
one less thing we can check off

01:22:42.375 --> 01:22:44.142
with staff getting behind it
and with the state helping fund

01:22:46.645 --> 01:22:49.180
it makes such a big difference
that I think we've I've
mentioned in these meetings

01:22:50.249 --> 01:22:52.170
before that that playground
equipment is over thirty years

01:22:54.519 --> 01:22:56.320
old and I've seen I take my
kids to that park and I've seen

01:22:58.156 --> 01:22:59.990
kids like burned themselves on
the exposed metal and it just

01:23:01.993 --> 01:23:03.828
it breaks my heart to see uh
see that and the fact that

01:23:05.430 --> 01:23:07.198
staff was able to so quickly
get a letter turned around and

01:23:09.434 --> 01:23:11.635
then the state worked to make
sure that we got that funded
was is great.

01:23:13.505 --> 01:23:15.505
So thank you staff um

01:23:17.176 --> 01:23:18.676
tremendously grateful vice
mayor for yes.

01:23:21.913 --> 01:23:23.913
Before we get to the pool you

01:23:23.949 --> 01:23:26.785
saying you've seen kids burn
themselves on that medal?
The city manager and I had a

01:23:28.220 --> 01:23:30.321
conversation because it's been
like how do we stop or is there

01:23:32.158 --> 01:23:33.825
any playground equipment being
developed or designed or

01:23:35.961 --> 01:23:37.928
produced that is flame
retardant because we lose a lot

01:23:40.366 --> 01:23:42.233
of playground equipment and we
talked about it was the metal

01:23:44.137 --> 01:23:46.103
equipment that didn't get
burned but we got hurt, you

01:23:47.372 --> 01:23:49.306
know, as a result of it.
So it's kind of like this.

01:23:51.577 --> 01:23:53.278
Yeah, a mixed reviews on which
kind of playground equipment

01:23:55.715 --> 01:23:57.715
that you have and then moving

01:23:59.284 --> 01:24:01.887
on to the pool, you know, there
was a public comment that was
brought up about things like

01:24:03.156 --> 01:24:05.423
parking.
Of course we want it to be a

01:24:07.392 --> 01:24:09.693
neighborhood pool and you would
think when we talk about
neighborhood pool that's

01:24:11.530 --> 01:24:13.198
walking, that's biking, you
know, to get there.

01:24:15.535 --> 01:24:17.568
But what other uses can that
pool are we hoping that are

01:24:19.704 --> 01:24:22.206
used at that pool?
Because I know council member
joe brak also talks about

01:24:23.241 --> 01:24:25.409
swimming.
So is that pool going to be

01:24:27.712 --> 01:24:29.447
able to be used for things like
swimming because we don't have

01:24:30.483 --> 01:24:32.850
enough of them?
Good evening.
Sukhdev lee, director of

01:24:34.486 --> 01:24:36.388
community services.
The footprint of that area will

01:24:39.492 --> 01:24:41.258
only allow for four lanes so a
swim team needs to have six

01:24:42.394 --> 01:24:44.870
lanes so it will be more the
community pool.
The neighborhood pool.
Right.

01:24:47.650 --> 01:24:48.399
And the orientation for it is
moving.

01:24:50.869 --> 01:24:52.838
Yes, it was north south and
according to what I saw on the

01:24:55.240 --> 01:24:57.240
website, is it going to be east

01:24:58.111 --> 01:25:00.144
west as opposed to north south
the orientation good evening
jodean.

01:25:01.713 --> 01:25:04.315
Massive public works director.
So you're correct right now
what we have is just a

01:25:05.550 --> 01:25:07.551
conceptual drawing.
So this is the inspiration for

01:25:09.821 --> 01:25:11.555
our soon to be designer to move
forward with the actual nuts

01:25:13.425 --> 01:25:16.193
and bolts of the design
construction drawings.
Ok, but you are correct so if

01:25:18.263 --> 01:25:20.263
it is currently north south and

01:25:21.666 --> 01:25:23.502
it's longer than it is wide and
now you're switching it so

01:25:25.771 --> 01:25:27.639
obviously yeah.
Ok where I'm going here is

01:25:29.808 --> 01:25:31.509
would there be a even a
possibility to add those two

01:25:33.912 --> 01:25:35.781
lines fifteen feet or whatnot
and the reason I bring this up

01:25:37.682 --> 01:25:39.682
because you're switching

01:25:40.552 --> 01:25:42.420
orientation so the depth going
north south is already there so

01:25:45.791 --> 01:25:47.892
I think that is a great
question.
We would want to explore that

01:25:48.794 --> 01:25:51.563
more with the design.
So we have the tennis courts in
the basketball courts.

01:25:52.931 --> 01:25:54.365
We have the adjacent firehouse
company six.

01:25:56.936 --> 01:25:58.936
We have a limited footprint,

01:26:00.539 --> 01:26:02.640
limited real estate right there
.
I think really the question

01:26:04.343 --> 01:26:06.430
that I would have I would
probably defer to director

01:26:07.780 --> 01:26:09.547
david lee and to you all for
consideration is what what are

01:26:11.818 --> 01:26:13.819
we want to do with this pool?
Um, I you know, we heard that

01:26:13.819 --> 01:26:15.819
again the comments about

01:26:16.389 --> 01:26:17.689
parking it's a legit concern,
right?

01:26:20.225 --> 01:26:22.594
You know this is in a park
renovation project.
This is simply to try to

01:26:23.228 --> 01:26:25.262
restore the pool.
So I really kind of I guess

01:26:26.965 --> 01:26:29.166
that's my question for you.
What is your intent with this
project?

01:26:31.436 --> 01:26:33.170
Yeah, and we know because of
the museum there that there's

01:26:35.441 --> 01:26:37.241
what, six spots over there and
people do go up on the curb.

01:26:39.311 --> 01:26:40.845
They do go onto the grass.
They do block.

01:26:43.415 --> 01:26:45.415
I mean I've seen cars in front

01:26:45.984 --> 01:26:48.530
of the fire hydrant.
So do we have any possible I

01:26:50.122 --> 01:26:52.122
mean there's little you've got

01:26:54.192 --> 01:26:56.192
the the pacific little league

01:26:58.264 --> 01:27:00.798
that that plays there music in
the park.
I mean we do we have a lot of

01:27:01.466 --> 01:27:03.234
things that happen at victory
park and if you don't get there

01:27:05.170 --> 01:27:06.937
early, if you don't get there
early and get a parking place

01:27:09.108 --> 01:27:11.809
you're walking which again is
why there's so much concern
about the speed of traffic on

01:27:13.440 --> 01:27:15.413
pershing.
So let me know what you come up

01:27:17.816 --> 01:27:19.550
with if you can come up with
anything, if there's any part

01:27:21.253 --> 01:27:23.253
of the footprint of the park

01:27:28.260 --> 01:27:30.260
and again going back so

01:27:42.307 --> 01:27:44.443
right
now the pool is oriented this
way and you're talking about

01:27:44.443 --> 01:27:46.578
changing it to this way.
I'm just wondering where that
extra see that extra weight

01:27:46.578 --> 01:27:48.748
that extra because it's a I'm
just spacially thinking about
it if we're digging it up and

01:27:48.748 --> 01:27:51.482
rotating it and the hole there
and find out what another 15
feet might cost.
So yeah, absolutely.

01:27:52.684 --> 01:27:54.452
We'll look into and then we
have the amenity next door like

01:27:55.888 --> 01:27:58.189
I mentioned the tennis courts
that just got resurfaced.
We're working on doing the

01:27:59.625 --> 01:28:01.625
lighting right there too.

01:28:03.195 --> 01:28:05.529
So it'll complement that effort
.
Wonderful.
Well, thank you.

01:28:06.398 --> 01:28:08.433
I love that this is on here.
You know anybody that wants to

01:28:12.338 --> 01:28:14.338
give us money, we're we're open

01:28:14.574 --> 01:28:15.973
right here.
Yes.

01:28:21.314 --> 01:28:23.314
So motion to approve katsuaki

01:28:25.584 --> 01:28:27.718
sorry.
So I do have to champion my

01:28:30.188 --> 01:28:31.922
continued concerns with
mckinley and although I do

01:28:33.993 --> 01:28:35.993
realize that this park has

01:28:37.629 --> 01:28:39.296
revitalization efforts that are
moving forward and think

01:28:40.866 --> 01:28:42.600
thankful for prop 68 and
thankful for this additional

01:28:44.636 --> 01:28:46.504
funding.
But mckinley historically has

01:28:48.908 --> 01:28:50.908
been one the most beautiful

01:28:52.645 --> 01:28:54.813
parks in the city park.
I've visited a lot as a young

01:28:56.348 --> 01:28:58.348
person and so with a park being

01:28:59.819 --> 01:29:01.819
so dormont deserted brown what

01:29:03.722 --> 01:29:05.991
is the strategy?
When is the shovels coming into
the park?

01:29:07.559 --> 01:29:09.260
When can we see some
revitalization efforts moving

01:29:11.630 --> 01:29:14.465
forward?
Where are we in that park
because I think that pool has

01:29:16.302 --> 01:29:18.302
not been operable and what

01:29:25.177 --> 01:29:27.177
maybe ten years

01:29:34.719 --> 01:29:36.719
ok,

01:30:03.248 --> 01:30:05.248
I'm sorry.

01:30:06.118 --> 01:30:07.451
Would you like for me to
repeat?

01:30:10.188 --> 01:30:12.624
No, I actually could hear it's
a life that I struggle with.
I apologize.

01:30:14.826 --> 01:30:16.994
Uh, so yes we are looking to
wrap up design.
Fifty percent complete right

01:30:18.230 --> 01:30:20.233
now.
One hundred percent complete by
summer.

01:30:20.233 --> 01:30:22.233
Twenty twenty two put it out to

01:30:22.601 --> 01:30:24.268
bid construction in twenty
twenty three to restore the

01:30:26.172 --> 01:30:28.740
park and make it the gym that
it deserves to be.
All right I'm going to be

01:30:30.142 --> 01:30:32.142
watching your now do we have a

01:30:33.912 --> 01:30:35.912
motion so moved second cast

01:30:40.218 --> 01:30:42.218
your votes please motion one

01:30:43.889 --> 01:30:46.123
seven zero thank you.
I don't think it matters any

01:30:48.560 --> 01:30:50.560
sort for fourteen unfinished

01:30:51.290 --> 01:30:53.290
business business fifty point

01:30:57.690 --> 01:31:00.400
one
the response staff you have
the floor to present this item

01:31:00.973 --> 01:31:02.973
is informational only there was

01:31:07.412 --> 01:31:09.412
no action required

01:31:15.420 --> 01:31:17.420
council

01:31:19.524 --> 01:31:21.258
members DR. Leidel and the
director of hospital utilities

01:31:23.929 --> 01:31:25.929
for the city and I've I'm kind

01:31:27.600 --> 01:31:29.366
of emceeing tonight to give
this presentation in the sense

01:31:31.637 --> 01:31:33.504
that I have a couple of deputy
directors here as well as I'm

01:31:35.941 --> 01:31:37.941
also going to rely on director

01:31:38.977 --> 01:31:40.977
of public works fire the fire

01:31:42.781 --> 01:31:44.548
chief edwards as well as the
police chief eric jones to help

01:31:46.818 --> 01:31:48.586
sort of round out the
discussion on the storm event

01:31:51.891 --> 01:31:53.891
that occurred in OCTOBER.

01:31:55.228 --> 01:31:57.940
Twenty fourth and twenty fifth
I'm here because of an

01:31:59.564 --> 01:32:02.200
invitation of counsel.
They wanted more information
regarding that reason that

01:32:04.604 --> 01:32:06.604
event and how the city tried to

01:32:08.730 --> 01:32:10.730
maintain services and the

01:32:11.910 --> 01:32:13.244
impact of that storm on our
systems.

01:32:15.381 --> 01:32:17.516
And so so with that I thought
I'd spend a little time and

01:32:23.689 --> 01:32:25.489
presentation if there it is and
try to share information with

01:32:27.559 --> 01:32:29.559
you regarding the event as well

01:32:31.531 --> 01:32:33.531
as sort of the city's response

01:32:35.133 --> 01:32:37.133
regarding that and so, um,

01:32:39.204 --> 01:32:41.204
let's get started to begin with

01:32:41.840 --> 01:32:43.840
a little bit of background.

01:32:46.545 --> 01:32:48.545
The first indication that a

01:32:50.249 --> 01:32:52.249
major storm event was heading

01:32:53.920 --> 01:32:55.920
towards california.

01:32:57.789 --> 01:32:59.789
Uh, we saw a weather forecast

01:33:01.600 --> 01:33:03.600
on wednesday excuse me OCTOBER

01:33:05.565 --> 01:33:07.565
20th were the predicted that a

01:33:09.234 --> 01:33:11.234
series of storms would impact

01:33:11.904 --> 01:33:13.904
northern california over that

01:33:16.208 --> 01:33:18.208
following weekend and continued

01:33:20.679 --> 01:33:22.679
on that by thursday of that

01:33:23.949 --> 01:33:25.949
time a uh, storm including an

01:33:28.453 --> 01:33:30.889
atmospheric river would be
directed towards northern

01:33:34.192 --> 01:33:36.128
california.
They thought that the four day

01:33:37.996 --> 01:33:40.165
event would include about two
or three inches of rain in the

01:33:45.270 --> 01:33:47.270
stockton area.

01:33:49.474 --> 01:33:51.474
Let's keep going on here as the

01:33:53.578 --> 01:33:55.578
information developed about the

01:33:57.249 --> 01:33:58.983
storm itself, they began to
predict that the atmospheric

01:34:01.353 --> 01:34:03.353
river that would eventually hit

01:34:05.857 --> 01:34:07.258
california would be very, very
significant.

01:34:10.950 --> 01:34:12.950
They said that they are sezen

01:34:13.398 --> 01:34:15.990
this thing and says are which
is atmospheric river would be

01:34:17.235 --> 01:34:19.235
anywhere from a category five

01:34:20.672 --> 01:34:22.672
or category three for northern

01:34:24.743 --> 01:34:26.743
california for being extreme is

01:34:28.447 --> 01:34:30.181
what they call it a an
atmospheric river if you don't

01:34:32.385 --> 01:34:34.218
understand what that is I don't
know as I totally understand

01:34:35.987 --> 01:34:37.987
what that is nowadays as well

01:34:40.580 --> 01:34:42.580
but um I guess back in the

01:34:43.261 --> 01:34:45.261
olden days when I remember at

01:34:47.266 --> 01:34:49.266
they called it just a big storm

01:34:51.670 --> 01:34:53.670
and but as it is now as they

01:34:54.539 --> 01:34:56.539
predicted, it's a it's a and

01:34:58.845 --> 01:35:00.845
weather event that allows for

01:35:02.948 --> 01:35:04.750
intense rain events to occur up
and down the coast kind of like

01:35:07.153 --> 01:35:09.153
a fire hose as it comes over.

01:35:11.220 --> 01:35:13.220
And so that's what it was

01:35:13.692 --> 01:35:15.826
essentially predicted for what
we would occur here in
stockton.

01:35:20.967 --> 01:35:22.967
So with that beginning on

01:35:24.337 --> 01:35:26.405
thursday, OCTOBER twenty first
the city manager asked for a

01:35:28.874 --> 01:35:30.874
series of meetings for

01:35:32.310 --> 01:35:34.346
preparation for the upcoming
storm and then city manager's

01:35:37.160 --> 01:35:39.160
office included P.D. The fire

01:35:40.886 --> 01:35:42.886
department mud public works

01:35:44.956 --> 01:35:46.791
directors and chiefs and there
is a lot of discussion about

01:35:48.794 --> 01:35:50.461
the storm response and
preparedness that the city

01:35:52.964 --> 01:35:54.298
would maintain during this this
weekend.

01:35:57.270 --> 01:35:59.400
Also there was additional
discussion about social media.

01:36:00.505 --> 01:36:02.340
What we should do how should we
get out the information as far

01:36:04.409 --> 01:36:06.409
as making sure your storm

01:36:08.280 --> 01:36:10.248
drains aren't clogged, rake up
your leaves, do all the things

01:36:15.588 --> 01:36:17.588
you need to as public citizens

01:36:19.791 --> 01:36:21.827
by friday of that same week we
had an additional meeting to go

01:36:23.261 --> 01:36:25.261
over the additional forecasts

01:36:27.990 --> 01:36:28.867
and better understand what our
response would be as far as

01:36:31.360 --> 01:36:33.360
calling out our storm event,

01:36:35.107 --> 01:36:36.874
field crews standby crews
organizing that so that we

01:36:39.444 --> 01:36:41.444
would be as fully prepared as

01:36:42.714 --> 01:36:43.948
possible for the upcoming storm
.

01:36:46.840 --> 01:36:48.353
In addition, there was
discussions about what about
our homeless folks?

01:36:50.422 --> 01:36:52.422
What about the folks that are

01:36:53.726 --> 01:36:56.628
living and camping in waterways
and things of that nature?
And it was decided that pde

01:36:58.530 --> 01:37:00.264
would have their hot teams go
around and make communications

01:37:01.634 --> 01:37:03.634
with local areas where folks

01:37:06.338 --> 01:37:08.338
were camping in the waterways

01:37:09.708 --> 01:37:11.642
particularly around morman slue
kalyvas river and the diverting

01:37:13.111 --> 01:37:15.146
canal.
And so as the event actually

01:37:20.886 --> 01:37:22.886
began to occur, we decided that

01:37:24.757 --> 01:37:26.757
at that time that we would not

01:37:28.360 --> 01:37:30.940
call in j dock or the joint
department operating center but

01:37:32.665 --> 01:37:34.332
we would maintain
communications over that

01:37:36.802 --> 01:37:39.360
weekend through text and email
and so that's what was done and

01:37:41.306 --> 01:37:43.306
interaction occurred regularly

01:37:44.676 --> 01:37:46.510
between that same emergency
preparedness crew, our group

01:37:51.550 --> 01:37:53.550
that

01:38:06.666 --> 01:38:08.800
that began with the
preparedness earlier on and so

01:38:08.800 --> 01:38:11.200
just by matter of record
included in this information is
also the reports that were

01:38:11.200 --> 01:38:13.205
issued during that time period
that talked about trees down or
various issues that were going

01:38:13.205 --> 01:38:15.205
on going on sunday was the

01:38:15.907 --> 01:38:18.576
biggest day and an overnight
hours.
And so what I'd like to do is

01:38:20.450 --> 01:38:22.450
sort jump into the actual event

01:38:23.116 --> 01:38:25.116
that occurred.

01:38:27.152 --> 01:38:29.321
It was quite remarkable from
sort of a weather wonk like I

01:38:31.691 --> 01:38:33.691
am OCTOBER 24th and twenty

01:38:34.694 --> 01:38:36.694
fifth was an historic event

01:38:38.263 --> 01:38:40.632
that occurred in stockton and
in northern california.
It's something that hasn't

01:38:44.603 --> 01:38:45.936
happened before so just take
that in.

01:38:48.306 --> 01:38:50.141
It was an extremely powerful
what they call an extra

01:38:52.844 --> 01:38:54.844
tropical cyclone that came from

01:38:56.715 --> 01:38:58.449
off the gulf gulf of alaska
slammed into california with

01:39:00.819 --> 01:39:02.819
that atmospheric river in tow.

01:39:04.489 --> 01:39:06.489
It was a lowest recorded

01:39:08.560 --> 01:39:10.560
pressure of nine forty two

01:39:11.930 --> 01:39:13.930
millibars to ever be recorded

01:39:15.200 --> 01:39:17.168
here in california and so it
was that historic of an event

01:39:19.639 --> 01:39:21.639
you hear about these bom

01:39:23.709 --> 01:39:25.477
cyclones nowadays I'm not
exactly sure what that's what

01:39:27.847 --> 01:39:29.581
that is but it is the most
powerful recorded bomb cyclone

01:39:31.483 --> 01:39:33.417
ever in the northeast pacific.
We're in the northeast pacific

01:39:35.987 --> 01:39:37.987
so with that three to four

01:39:39.491 --> 01:39:41.292
inches of rain that occurred
over the twenty four hour

01:39:43.196 --> 01:39:45.196
period and so it was a very,

01:39:46.499 --> 01:39:48.199
very significant event not only
for stockton but throughout

01:39:50.303 --> 01:39:52.303
northern california and state

01:39:54.172 --> 01:39:56.141
itself state received over 70
million gallons of water and I

01:39:58.544 --> 01:40:00.311
don't know who exactly made up
that estimate but that's pretty

01:40:02.781 --> 01:40:04.781
pretty significant as far as

01:40:06.852 --> 01:40:08.852
metrics storm the storm was

01:40:10.756 --> 01:40:12.756
impactful on the city.

01:40:13.625 --> 01:40:15.493
It was significant to us.
These are storm matrixx from

01:40:17.796 --> 01:40:19.430
public works jodis here
somewhere that she could

01:40:21.600 --> 01:40:23.234
actually ask answer questions
if you have them later.

01:40:25.504 --> 01:40:27.370
There she is.
Thank you.

01:40:29.441 --> 01:40:31.475
But fifty nine tree limb calls
20 trees down two hundred and

01:40:33.545 --> 01:40:35.545
fifty two flood locations

01:40:37.417 --> 01:40:39.490
dispatch to mud to
intersections rewired and

01:40:40.585 --> 01:40:42.585
multiple city buildings were

01:40:45.258 --> 01:40:47.258
leaking as far as pde is

01:40:48.961 --> 01:40:50.961
concerned as of OCTOBER twenty

01:40:52.831 --> 01:40:54.831
fifth seventy two reported

01:40:56.201 --> 01:40:58.201
traffic accidents 13 hit and

01:40:59.872 --> 01:41:01.872
run collisions which is

01:41:03.375 --> 01:41:05.375
essentially sort of double what

01:41:07.646 --> 01:41:09.346
they typically have also saw an
increase of service calls of

01:41:10.382 --> 01:41:12.183
twenty two hundred and fifty
nine compared to typically

01:41:15.320 --> 01:41:17.254
fifteen hundred or so.
So again very significant

01:41:22.861 --> 01:41:24.861
events that occurred not to be

01:41:26.833 --> 01:41:28.599
biased at all but I think one
of the most impacted systems in

01:41:30.602 --> 01:41:32.470
the city was the storm water
system and let me describe that

01:41:34.940 --> 01:41:36.607
a little bit for those that
aren't necessarily familiar

01:41:38.276 --> 01:41:39.977
with it are the city's storm
water system collects storm

01:41:42.214 --> 01:41:44.214
water and discharges it into

01:41:45.852 --> 01:41:47.586
local waterways and it's
actually regulated by state and

01:41:49.555 --> 01:41:51.555
federal permits.

01:41:53.859 --> 01:41:55.859
The storm water pumps the storm

01:41:57.529 --> 01:41:59.965
water system itself is
comprised of seventy four
different pump stations located

01:42:01.867 --> 01:42:03.867
throughout the city.

01:42:05.338 --> 01:42:07.271
Six hundred miles of pipeline
and twenty two thousand five

01:42:09.776 --> 01:42:11.776
hundred catch basins.

01:42:13.478 --> 01:42:15.413
It like I said it routes water
out of the city streets and

01:42:17.683 --> 01:42:19.751
into local waterways um
ditches, canals, things of that

01:42:22.200 --> 01:42:24.200
nature throughout the city.

01:42:25.657 --> 01:42:27.458
The system itself throughout
the entire system is designed

01:42:30.290 --> 01:42:32.970
to handle about one to one and
a half inches of rain in a 24

01:42:33.532 --> 01:42:36.201
hour period.
That's what they call
essentially a one in 10 year

01:42:37.636 --> 01:42:39.636
storm.

01:42:41.607 --> 01:42:43.574
the record storm in OCTOBER was
estimated at a one in two

01:42:45.243 --> 01:42:47.243
hundred year storm event and

01:42:49.748 --> 01:42:51.616
some places it was considered a
one in five hundred year storm

01:42:54.320 --> 01:42:56.320
event and so you can begin to

01:42:56.688 --> 01:42:58.622
see the magnitude of the storm
that impacted this over that

01:43:00.693 --> 01:43:02.693
weekend.

01:43:04.764 --> 01:43:06.764
What happened was the storm

01:43:09.334 --> 01:43:11.334
itself, the intensity of the

01:43:11.904 --> 01:43:13.871
rainfall overwhelm the system,
the pumps all the all the

01:43:17.143 --> 01:43:18.910
pumping stations, all seventy
four operated during the entire

01:43:20.746 --> 01:43:22.713
event.
What happened was there was so

01:43:24.382 --> 01:43:25.984
much water that came down so
rapidly and essentially

01:43:28.186 --> 01:43:30.186
surcharged our pipelines filled

01:43:32.357 --> 01:43:34.357
up our streets and made it so

01:43:36.610 --> 01:43:38.610
that a lot of the streets were

01:43:39.831 --> 01:43:41.866
blocked because of floodwaters
and so and that's essentially

01:43:43.835 --> 01:43:45.835
what happened and doesn't

01:43:46.972 --> 01:43:48.873
matter if every single catch
basin was completely clean it

01:43:50.942 --> 01:43:52.777
wouldn't have mattered just
because of the volume of water

01:43:55.248 --> 01:43:56.580
that occurred during that time
period.

01:43:59.251 --> 01:44:01.218
We want to do our best to clean
catch basins, make sure the

01:44:03.255 --> 01:44:04.622
system is is as efficient as
possible.

01:44:06.958 --> 01:44:08.958
But in this circumstance it

01:44:10.862 --> 01:44:12.862
wouldn't have mattered the

01:44:14.533 --> 01:44:16.533
highest priority that was made

01:44:18.805 --> 01:44:20.371
during that period was to send
out our storm event.

01:44:23.175 --> 01:44:25.175
Field crews to multiple calls

01:44:26.144 --> 01:44:27.878
but most of the attention was
made towards the large

01:44:31.250 --> 01:44:32.551
intersections, things like
that.

01:44:34.220 --> 01:44:36.870
The third thoroughfares and we
can talk just a little bit more

01:44:41.359 --> 01:44:43.428
about that
as far as the storm

01:44:45.697 --> 01:44:47.665
water stormwater system
maintenance um, we have a

01:44:49.135 --> 01:44:51.135
regular system maintenance

01:44:53.205 --> 01:44:55.205
program that necessary to

01:44:56.875 --> 01:44:58.710
prevent flooding that happens
on an annual basis throughout

01:45:01.179 --> 01:45:03.147
the city that our stormwater
crews go out and clean catch

01:45:05.817 --> 01:45:07.151
basins and things of that
nature.

01:45:09.221 --> 01:45:10.988
One of the issues is as the
storm water utility is severely

01:45:13.959 --> 01:45:15.959
underfunded and so we have a

01:45:17.362 --> 01:45:19.397
very limited budget that allows
us to go out and do what we

01:45:21.133 --> 01:45:23.000
need to do to maintain a system
the pump stations to make sure

01:45:24.469 --> 01:45:26.469
the electrical motors work,

01:45:28.673 --> 01:45:30.608
make sure the the pipeline
aren't broken things of that

01:45:32.778 --> 01:45:34.845
nature maintain the catch
basins, do the things that we

01:45:36.214 --> 01:45:38.750
need to to eliminate the
garbage out of them and all
that type of stuff so the

01:45:40.619 --> 01:45:42.619
system flows is as good as

01:45:44.689 --> 01:45:46.689
possible currently as far as

01:45:48.360 --> 01:45:50.360
maintenance is concerned, areas

01:45:51.830 --> 01:45:53.798
that have the greatest priority
if we have a broken pump

01:45:55.667 --> 01:45:57.667
station we have to 10 a 10 that

01:45:59.370 --> 01:46:00.905
do our best to fund the repair
and do what we can.

01:46:03.708 --> 01:46:05.708
We have an annual process where

01:46:07.245 --> 01:46:09.245
we go around and and clean

01:46:11.500 --> 01:46:13.500
catch basins last year I think

01:46:14.854 --> 01:46:16.854
we cleaned about 4000 of those

01:46:19.558 --> 01:46:21.292
basins not near the twenty two
thousand five hundred but with

01:46:23.595 --> 01:46:25.329
the limited amount of money
that's available, those basins

01:46:27.699 --> 01:46:29.660
are sort of cleaned on a
rotation.

01:46:34.172 --> 01:46:36.172
So we do our best to see that.

01:46:43.460 --> 01:46:46.510
Like I said, the utility is is
underfunded and that's been the
case for many years.

01:46:46.510 --> 01:46:47.351
It's not something that's new
to us.

01:46:49.721 --> 01:46:51.721
The last time a utility itself

01:46:53.592 --> 01:46:55.592
had an an assessment fee

01:46:56.895 --> 01:46:58.929
increase was in nineteen ninety
two and in that current

01:47:01.601 --> 01:47:03.601
assessment two dollars and ten

01:47:04.904 --> 01:47:06.904
cents per month per household

01:47:08.607 --> 01:47:10.607
equivalent back in 2010 there

01:47:13.112 --> 01:47:14.946
was an effort to actually move
forward with a new assessment

01:47:17.215 --> 01:47:19.215
under prop to eighteen.

01:47:20.850 --> 01:47:22.520
The analysis that was done
showed that the utility was
underfunded by about nine

01:47:24.856 --> 01:47:26.856
million dollars a year and with

01:47:28.861 --> 01:47:30.461
that as we went to the voters,
the voters voted that

01:47:32.665 --> 01:47:34.665
initiative down so that did not

01:47:35.635 --> 01:47:37.369
pass and so since 2010 that
assessment has remained the

01:47:40.672 --> 01:47:42.672
same.

01:47:43.241 --> 01:47:45.276
And so that's why we have um
sort of that deficiency in the

01:47:47.547 --> 01:47:48.879
overall storm water fund
utility.

01:47:51.750 --> 01:47:53.517
This is a utility that comes up
for budget approval every year

01:47:55.687 --> 01:47:57.687
that comes before council as

01:47:59.570 --> 01:48:01.250
far as knowing what would be
done with the monies that were

01:48:03.595 --> 01:48:05.595
allocated, you have just an

01:48:07.330 --> 01:48:08.999
example of that of that table
you see there on the right.

01:48:14.841 --> 01:48:16.841
I won't go into detail

01:48:28.321 --> 01:48:30.654
but
maintenance takes in about half
of the overall budget.

01:48:30.655 --> 01:48:32.859
So that's what we allocate to
that utility during so that we
can do our level best trying to

01:48:32.859 --> 01:48:34.859
maintain what's going on.

01:48:38.130 --> 01:48:40.131
So with that, um, what about
the possibility of a new rate
assessment effort?
Um, we're encouraged by that in
the sense that um there is some

01:48:42.401 --> 01:48:44.401
review moving forward.

01:48:45.270 --> 01:48:47.238
We're currently in the process
of developing a new storm water

01:48:49.508 --> 01:48:51.508
utility master plan that would

01:48:53.111 --> 01:48:55.413
give us the understanding of
what is the system looking like
now?

01:48:56.882 --> 01:48:58.882
what can we do?

01:49:01.386 --> 01:49:03.287
Can we improve the design?
Can we install new equipment

01:49:05.290 --> 01:49:07.159
that would help us manage a
system better all that type of

01:49:08.728 --> 01:49:10.495
thing and will also give us
what they call a capital

01:49:12.165 --> 01:49:14.398
improvement program meaning
what needs to be replaced and a

01:49:16.668 --> 01:49:18.436
financing plan that would
potentially allow us to move

01:49:20.472 --> 01:49:22.273
forward.
That plan itself will probably

01:49:24.709 --> 01:49:26.709
come to council next MAY um MAY

01:49:28.680 --> 01:49:30.548
of twenty two with that we want
to take the guts of that plan

01:49:33.151 --> 01:49:35.151
and begin to look at a new rate

01:49:35.821 --> 01:49:37.821
assessment process that would

01:49:39.725 --> 01:49:41.725
legitimize the ask that we

01:49:43.228 --> 01:49:45.297
would make for the public to be
able to vote on this going

01:49:48.100 --> 01:49:50.100
forward and with the hope with

01:49:50.335 --> 01:49:52.335
folks would understand the need

01:49:58.276 --> 01:50:00.444
as well as the the necessary
efforts that needs to be taken

01:50:02.215 --> 01:50:04.215
place to fund this utility to

01:50:05.283 --> 01:50:07.283
maintain the storm water system

01:50:09.588 --> 01:50:11.588
so that we can protect the city

01:50:13.392 --> 01:50:15.392
and its assets into the future

01:50:18.630 --> 01:50:20.630
because OCTOBER was a learning

01:50:21.233 --> 01:50:22.933
event, it was a learning event
in that was a record storm.

01:50:25.871 --> 01:50:27.371
It was beyond anything that we
had seen before.

01:50:28.408 --> 01:50:30.341
So that gives you a really
great opportunity to see how

01:50:32.512 --> 01:50:34.512
vulnerable you are to these

01:50:36.782 --> 01:50:39.184
types of situations.
It was beyond the capability of
our system.

01:50:41.219 --> 01:50:43.870
We understand that but we've
learned some things from it as

01:50:43.723 --> 01:50:45.589
well.
Our pump stations operate it

01:50:48.995 --> 01:50:50.395
great but our underpasses were
vulnerable.

01:50:52.970 --> 01:50:53.664
How do we how can we rectify
some of those things?

01:50:56.100 --> 01:50:57.735
How can we look design of some
of those underpasses that would

01:51:00.500 --> 01:51:02.500
allow us to be able to remove

01:51:03.543 --> 01:51:05.576
the water, convey the water out
of those underpasses in a more

01:51:07.245 --> 01:51:09.245
effective and those are some

01:51:10.749 --> 01:51:12.749
things we can look at because

01:51:15.253 --> 01:51:17.253
if we are able to draw more

01:51:18.623 --> 01:51:20.623
attention to this utility and

01:51:21.861 --> 01:51:23.894
its funding needs the better it
can serve the citizens of the

01:51:26.298 --> 01:51:28.298
city of stockton because what's

01:51:30.368 --> 01:51:32.368
the future got in store for us?

01:51:33.539 --> 01:51:35.372
What are they saying that with
climate change these types of

01:51:37.542 --> 01:51:39.542
events MAY be become more

01:51:41.847 --> 01:51:43.847
regular, more frequent and if

01:51:45.650 --> 01:51:47.650
that's the case, we're severely

01:51:49.721 --> 01:51:51.289
under organized as far just
utilities concerned.

01:51:53.726 --> 01:51:55.494
So with that I'd be happy to
answer any questions you might

01:51:57.963 --> 01:51:59.730
have as well as staff that I
have and the other members of

01:52:00.966 --> 01:52:03.467
that team.
Thank you, COUNCILMAN Gebek.
Thank you, mayor.

01:52:05.437 --> 01:52:07.171
So I know this this weather
event that we're experiencing

01:52:09.750 --> 01:52:10.875
last couple of days is nowhere
near what we saw in OCTOBER.

01:52:13.211 --> 01:52:15.513
But just in comparison, we've
been having a lot of
communication from from staff

01:52:17.149 --> 01:52:18.916
regarding this recent one.
So what was it?

01:52:23.990 --> 01:52:25.956
Ah, um I I haven't seen r
rating yet ok but I'm sure we

01:52:28.760 --> 01:52:30.760
can find that out for you and I

01:52:31.763 --> 01:52:34.665
want to give staff like huge
props in handling this is for a
city of three or four dozen

01:52:39.771 --> 01:52:41.473
people um staff was extremely
well coordinated for something

01:52:44.142 --> 01:52:45.876
being so historic they were
very responsive especially to

01:52:47.846 --> 01:52:49.846
us at least in my experience.

01:52:52.180 --> 01:52:53.785
Um so it was uh it was
appreciated that staff was I

01:52:55.421 --> 01:52:57.889
knew they were working hard
because no matter whatever
whenever I went out or whatever

01:52:59.592 --> 01:53:00.991
i heard I was getting constant
information.

01:53:03.195 --> 01:53:04.962
One thing I would ask and I
think you pointed it out was

01:53:07.132 --> 01:53:09.366
the underpasses and one of the
underpasses.
Well, it's not in my district.

01:53:11.369 --> 01:53:13.369
I recognize it as like

01:53:14.740 --> 01:53:16.507
something that was concerning
was hamelin hammerton underpass

01:53:19.478 --> 01:53:21.478
which serves like one of the

01:53:22.749 --> 01:53:24.749
main arterials northam

01:53:27.180 --> 01:53:28.686
marcheline if not probably the
most traffic traffic street

01:53:30.822 --> 01:53:32.822
street in stockton.

01:53:34.590 --> 01:53:36.227
Um and where that flooded it
was I was a little concerned in

01:53:38.597 --> 01:53:40.597
that it seems like that it's

01:53:42.201 --> 01:53:44.336
not easy to get around it.
Yeah, I was trying to think

01:53:45.704 --> 01:53:47.872
about routes to get around that
area and it's not easy and I

01:53:49.841 --> 01:53:52.443
think about fire, police and
people maybe who were just
trying to get out from that

01:53:54.713 --> 01:53:56.447
area so to me like that was and
we're seeing other underpasses

01:53:57.816 --> 01:53:59.816
I know there is one up off of

01:54:00.786 --> 01:54:02.988
lower sacramento road that's
one of the newer ones.
Right.

01:54:02.988 --> 01:54:04.988
But I don't think they

01:54:05.624 --> 01:54:07.826
experienced anything as bad as
what hammerton experienced.
If I'm not mistaken.

01:54:09.594 --> 01:54:11.529
It was down for twenty four.
Forty eight hours.
Yeah.

01:54:13.599 --> 01:54:15.599
Was a couple of days.

01:54:15.901 --> 01:54:18.569
So that's just to me like I
don't know what like when we
monday morning quarterback

01:54:20.720 --> 01:54:22.673
because I think that's that was
kind of what my intent of
getting this debriefing was was

01:54:24.576 --> 01:54:26.576
like what can we do have more

01:54:28.147 --> 01:54:29.847
money would be great that's
looking out that's probably

01:54:32.500 --> 01:54:34.652
something that's got to happen
down the road because that's a
process under under two

01:54:36.721 --> 01:54:38.389
eighteen but like in the event
that something else happens

01:54:40.659 --> 01:54:42.460
like what can we do, you know
with some of that like an area

01:54:44.297 --> 01:54:46.297
like that hammerton it's so

01:54:48.401 --> 01:54:50.135
important to the the traffic
patterns that are happening all

01:54:52.105 --> 01:54:53.538
over north stockton.
Right.

01:54:55.707 --> 01:54:57.675
Um let me respond to your
question a couple different
ways.

01:54:59.245 --> 01:55:01.245
One being I want to extend my

01:55:04.382 --> 01:55:06.150
um my appreciation to the storm
event field crews that were out

01:55:08.120 --> 01:55:10.200
during that event absolutely.
You don't really understand but

01:55:12.570 --> 01:55:13.891
there's a very limited number
of these folks are experts in

01:55:16.429 --> 01:55:18.163
what they do and how they deal
with the systems here in the

01:55:19.131 --> 01:55:20.998
city and many of them work
twenty four hours straight

01:55:23.769 --> 01:55:25.536
trying to make sure that folks
here in the city were protected

01:55:27.306 --> 01:55:29.441
from the storm that came.
But as far as tamburlaine let's

01:55:31.910 --> 01:55:33.910
listen should I say dove into

01:55:35.114 --> 01:55:36.347
that one a little bit literally
.

01:55:39.585 --> 01:55:41.585
Ok, and so, um, hambling it was

01:55:42.989 --> 01:55:45.222
kind of a calm combined event
in the sense that we had the

01:55:46.825 --> 01:55:48.493
storm event that produce a
record amount of rainfall

01:55:54.366 --> 01:55:56.133
impacting that underpass and at
the same time that same rain

01:55:58.603 --> 01:56:00.138
event was impacting the sewer
lines and below it.

01:56:02.507 --> 01:56:04.341
And if you understand hammer
lane, you go underneath that

01:56:06.913 --> 01:56:08.913
underpass both ends of it.

01:56:10.182 --> 01:56:12.417
There's manholes up on the
before the grid that goes
underneath.

01:56:14.821 --> 01:56:16.555
Ok, there's manholes there but
then there's an also a manhole

01:56:18.558 --> 01:56:20.157
along the path that goes
underneath the railroad.

01:56:22.894 --> 01:56:24.894
that manhole is about ten feet

01:56:26.565 --> 01:56:28.565
below the essentially hammer

01:56:30.669 --> 01:56:32.669
lane and so when the storm

01:56:33.539 --> 01:56:35.539
event occurred is surcharged.

01:56:37.109 --> 01:56:39.109
The sewer lines which created

01:56:41.213 --> 01:56:43.681
an extreme pressure on that
manhole that's along the
walkway and because of that

01:56:46.510 --> 01:56:48.180
pressure of that sewer water
wanting to come up and blew the

01:56:49.922 --> 01:56:51.922
manhole right off and that

01:56:53.492 --> 01:56:55.526
sewer water came out into
hamelin and it was a category

01:56:57.996 --> 01:56:59.996
one call senators who were

01:57:01.400 --> 01:57:03.801
overflowing and what happens is
the storm pump station that's
there that's trying to

01:57:05.537 --> 01:57:06.937
accommodate all that was
overwhelmed.

01:57:09.241 --> 01:57:10.875
And so that's what essentially
um impacted tamburlaine.

01:57:13.979 --> 01:57:15.713
It was the rain event as well
as the senators who are

01:57:18.283 --> 01:57:20.283
overflowed the same time and so

01:57:21.987 --> 01:57:23.987
it required the mud to shut

01:57:26.259 --> 01:57:28.225
that down for an extended
period of time in order for us

01:57:29.528 --> 01:57:31.396
to clean it up after that
occurred and so you can look

01:57:33.999 --> 01:57:35.999
back and say well, did the

01:57:37.470 --> 01:57:39.300
engineers design that underpass
the right way?

01:57:41.373 --> 01:57:43.207
Maybe they never even thought
that that would ever occur.

01:57:45.577 --> 01:57:47.178
But since that time we've
remedied it remedy the

01:57:49.281 --> 01:57:51.516
situation by bolting the
manhole down so that issue will

01:57:53.785 --> 01:57:55.785
never happen again.

01:57:57.956 --> 01:57:59.857
And so but now we need to go
back and look at the intensity

01:58:01.226 --> 01:58:03.940
of that rainfall, whether or
not the storm pump station that

01:58:05.797 --> 01:58:07.797
sarah was a small one, whether

01:58:08.366 --> 01:58:10.235
or not it's undersized, whether
needs we need to increase its

01:58:12.605 --> 01:58:15.730
capability to remove water from
those underpasses.
Yeah, I almost kind of think

01:58:17.242 --> 01:58:19.510
whatever like that to me is one
of the most important materials
in the entire city.

01:58:21.214 --> 01:58:23.214
So advertising it to me almost

01:58:24.850 --> 01:58:26.850
would seem appropriate just in

01:58:27.620 --> 01:58:30.122
the event that something like
that would happen.
And I kind of think for all of

01:58:30.122 --> 01:58:32.122
us I know we're all excited

01:58:36.162 --> 01:58:38.162
about

01:58:49.875 --> 01:58:52.344
the ap getting a new
camera.
It's an overpass or an
underpass a big federal project

01:58:52.344 --> 01:58:54.547
that happened it's an underpass
project is an overpass coverage
.
Yeah.

01:58:54.547 --> 01:58:57.150
So it's an overpass then we'll
avoid it.
But I was thinking about that
project going oh GOD, if they

01:58:57.150 --> 01:58:59.217
do it can they mitigate that?
So that doesn't happen over
there because that's another

01:58:59.217 --> 01:59:01.585
arterial on the south side.
So yeah, I really hope I'm
grateful you said that staff

01:59:01.887 --> 01:59:03.554
was able to do that and I know
that they were they were

01:59:05.391 --> 01:59:07.658
working hard and super grateful
because they kept my family
safe.

01:59:10.229 --> 01:59:12.960
So, uh, in many families, you
know, all over stockton so I'm

01:59:13.331 --> 01:59:15.331
grateful for that and kudos to

01:59:16.602 --> 01:59:18.903
you public works everybody for
can't imagine what that
experience being out in the

01:59:20.740 --> 01:59:22.373
rain is no fun.
So thank you.

01:59:24.844 --> 01:59:27.611
Council member cannava.
So um thank you mel.
I'm just wondering so if you're

01:59:29.810 --> 01:59:30.781
having a nine million dollar
shortfall already and you're

01:59:32.384 --> 01:59:35.190
going to come up with a new
stormwater master plan, how
much money do you actually need

01:59:37.890 --> 01:59:39.356
more annually is that coming
forward?
it's going to be that would be

01:59:41.327 --> 01:59:42.994
part of the financing plan as
far as how much we tax.

01:59:44.630 --> 01:59:46.464
So what's collected currently
it's about budget wise about

01:59:49.670 --> 01:59:51.670
six million dollars a year and

01:59:52.370 --> 01:59:54.138
your nine million or so just to
run normally you'd need fifteen

01:59:55.674 --> 01:59:57.674
million dollars.

02:00:00.450 --> 02:00:01.912
That was back in 2010 now so in
these all have to be approved

02:00:04.282 --> 02:00:05.983
by voters in order to do this
stormwater tax and that's the

02:00:07.319 --> 02:00:09.530
biggest hurdle correct, because
nobody wants to pay more taxes

02:00:11.190 --> 02:00:13.190
for spring water so I mean so

02:00:14.594 --> 02:00:16.594
how far are we behind behind

02:00:18.563 --> 02:00:20.631
2010 as far as what our
infrastructure is?
It's significant.

02:00:23.368 --> 02:00:25.368
I mean as you can imagine, if

02:00:26.139 --> 02:00:27.906
we had had an additional nine
million dollars a year to

02:00:30.175 --> 02:00:32.175
maintain the system beginning

02:00:34.546 --> 02:00:36.546
in 2010, that's ten years worth

02:00:38.417 --> 02:00:40.417
of additional funding.

02:00:41.620 --> 02:00:43.554
And so we're definitely in
arrears on it and the

02:00:46.580 --> 02:00:47.525
maintenance programs, all that
type of thing.

02:00:49.895 --> 02:00:51.895
So absolutely I think you both

02:00:52.964 --> 02:00:55.132
make bekasi.
Yes.
Thank you so much for the

02:00:57.203 --> 02:00:59.203
historical data I was thinking

02:01:00.606 --> 02:01:02.340
of back to it was JANUARY
twenty seventeen when the

02:01:04.609 --> 02:01:06.445
promenade everywhere around
downtown here the waterfront

02:01:09.215 --> 02:01:10.981
warehouse and everything that
was flooded the water went

02:01:13.118 --> 02:01:14.919
above and and covered that I
know we had some street issues

02:01:16.955 --> 02:01:18.889
but seeing it down here where
it was two feet above the

02:01:21.693 --> 02:01:23.693
railing I mean I'm I'm just

02:01:25.397 --> 02:01:27.397
wondering how that compares to

02:01:28.567 --> 02:01:30.567
this one only because we had

02:01:32.237 --> 02:01:33.838
that very visual flooding down
here.
right.

02:01:36.442 --> 02:01:38.142
Um and then my grandmother
would tell me about all the

02:01:40.450 --> 02:01:41.812
floods in this area and into
the downtown that happened in

02:01:44.516 --> 02:01:46.217
the like 1910 and in the early
nineteen hundreds that that

02:01:48.421 --> 02:01:50.200
because they lived south of the
deep water channel where

02:01:52.124 --> 02:01:53.824
vampira and were where the
school is where webber

02:01:56.528 --> 02:01:58.295
institute they lived in that
area and she would say oh yeah

02:02:00.365 --> 02:02:02.990
we would have we would have
flooding but stockton is much

02:02:03.268 --> 02:02:05.236
much bigger now.
And so when you were talking

02:02:07.500 --> 02:02:09.500
about learning some things and

02:02:10.877 --> 02:02:12.743
you're coming from the storm
drain perspective but I noticed

02:02:15.213 --> 02:02:17.213
you know, we have streets where

02:02:19.317 --> 02:02:21.510
we've put a layer on a layer on
a layer and then it's like

02:02:23.555 --> 02:02:25.724
angled the highest point is the
center point.
The water runs down real

02:02:27.693 --> 02:02:29.593
quickly because I have to like
put my leg out to make sure my

02:02:31.130 --> 02:02:33.970
door doesn't come slamming back
into me and then we have our

02:02:34.266 --> 02:02:36.266
curbs and gutters there that

02:02:37.202 --> 02:02:38.536
have been damaged by trees or
whatnot.

02:02:41.807 --> 02:02:43.807
Uh, how does that affect the

02:02:45.210 --> 02:02:46.944
velocity of the water coming
off of our streets and then

02:02:48.613 --> 02:02:50.181
jamming into our trying to go
down our storm drains?

02:02:53.618 --> 02:02:55.486
That's a really good question.
I don't know the exact answer

02:02:57.220 --> 02:02:59.424
as far as calculating the
velocity of water depending on
the grade of the street.

02:03:01.460 --> 02:03:03.460
But I think you're right in the

02:03:04.629 --> 02:03:06.629
sense that you know, the the

02:03:08.734 --> 02:03:10.202
drains the gutters, all that
type of thing.

02:03:11.336 --> 02:03:12.803
And jodis, our expert on that
type of thing.

02:03:16.409 --> 02:03:18.760
But when those facil these that
infrastructure is degraded,

02:03:20.513 --> 02:03:22.513
water can't flow as easily or

02:03:24.584 --> 02:03:26.584
and so the the potential for

02:03:28.487 --> 02:03:30.856
ponding along the roadways and
things like that is greater for
sure.
Yeah.

02:03:32.157 --> 02:03:34.759
And I actually wrote that down
the coagulation and the pools
of water that occur.
Sure.

02:03:36.929 --> 02:03:38.929
In in various places throughout

02:03:39.765 --> 02:03:41.633
the city so even sometimes even
if the drain was working we're

02:03:43.802 --> 02:03:45.536
still going to get that
coagulation that could be the

02:03:48.340 --> 02:03:50.340
case in the sense that the

02:03:50.976 --> 02:03:53.177
drains could be working but
there could be so much water in

02:03:55.130 --> 02:03:57.314
the pipe that's trying to
invade away.
It's surcharged and so the

02:03:59.284 --> 02:04:02.186
water will just sit there until
the pumps are able to catch up.
Yeah.
So thank you.

02:04:06.459 --> 02:04:08.627
You council member lynnette.
So the only way we can improve

02:04:10.997 --> 02:04:12.997
our stormwater system is by a

02:04:14.266 --> 02:04:16.634
voter voters voting for it.
We can't use any of our reserve

02:04:18.503 --> 02:04:20.638
funds.
I mean if it gets desperate is

02:04:25.343 --> 02:04:27.999
that what we're saying?
You can certainly use the

02:04:28.581 --> 02:04:30.548
general fund if we right.
But in order to raise this

02:04:33.419 --> 02:04:35.653
particular enterprise fund, uh,
fee you need the vote of the

02:04:36.521 --> 02:04:38.857
people.
Ok, so if it got to the

02:04:41.727 --> 02:04:43.727
desperate point in our voters

02:04:45.310 --> 02:04:47.298
again turned us down or turned
this rate increase down if I

02:04:49.267 --> 02:04:51.267
MAY and that this is an

02:04:53.538 --> 02:04:56.307
enterprise on it.
Right.
So it's intended to be self
supporting.

02:04:56.541 --> 02:04:58.541
It's like a water and

02:05:01.470 --> 02:05:03.470
wastewater the kind of stuff

02:05:04.549 --> 02:05:06.383
that that that DR. Leidel is
talking about is going to

02:05:08.687 --> 02:05:10.687
require bond indebtedness.

02:05:12.257 --> 02:05:14.257
So so relying on the general

02:05:16.128 --> 02:05:18.470
fund would not be a reasonable
or practical approach because

02:05:19.264 --> 02:05:22.740
we're talking about ultimately
we need to build more
infrastructure, new

02:05:23.903 --> 02:05:25.903
infrastructure which is going

02:05:27.472 --> 02:05:29.473
to require 20 to 30 year bonds.
So this general fund couldn't

02:05:31.411 --> 02:05:34.320
support something like that on
long term basis.
So it would have to it would

02:05:34.320 --> 02:05:36.314
have to come through the ballot
box.
Right.

02:05:36.314 --> 02:05:37.732
You couldn't support that with
general fund because of debt

02:05:38.717 --> 02:05:41.303
limit issues anyway.
So you're you would need an
interpreter.

02:05:42.989 --> 02:05:44.989
Thank you, COUNCILMAN Warmsley.

02:05:46.825 --> 02:05:49.930
Thank you.
And I also wanted to just

02:05:50.896 --> 02:05:52.896
elevate the underpasses on

02:05:55.670 --> 02:05:57.670
wilson the way I charter weigh

02:05:57.537 --> 02:05:59.537
martin luther king and then as

02:06:02.410 --> 02:06:03.707
it relates to our the the
amount of trees that were

02:06:05.877 --> 02:06:07.611
uprooted during those storms, I
think that that also is

02:06:10.150 --> 02:06:12.150
probably deeply seeded to the

02:06:13.286 --> 02:06:15.286
lack of maintenance that the

02:06:16.354 --> 02:06:19.157
city can afford to treat trees
in this community.
And then my last comment is as

02:06:21.260 --> 02:06:23.260
we're looking at the new

02:06:24.730 --> 02:06:26.464
infrastructure bill could that
be a possibility and

02:06:28.934 --> 02:06:30.668
reestablish these very
fractured, fragile and probably

02:06:32.637 --> 02:06:34.538
very old?
Um, the the sewer

02:06:39.879 --> 02:06:41.613
infrastructure overall um, we
don't know enough about the

02:06:43.916 --> 02:06:45.950
infrastructure bill yet, but
uh, the hope would be that, uh,

02:06:48.220 --> 02:06:49.987
there would be language within
that that would allow for

02:06:51.223 --> 02:06:52.786
funding of infrastructure of
that type for sure.

02:06:55.327 --> 02:06:57.327
And that's an area that we're

02:06:59.531 --> 02:07:01.499
definitely going to investigate
and spend some time to see how

02:07:01.567 --> 02:07:03.567
the city might be able to take

02:07:08.600 --> 02:07:10.208
advantage of that
.

02:07:10.208 --> 02:07:11.910
Thank you.
That concludes the question.

02:07:13.812 --> 02:07:15.812
Thank you very much.

02:07:17.315 --> 02:07:19.315
A gentleman fifteen point two

02:07:20.919 --> 02:07:22.919
quarterly update on erap step

02:07:24.589 --> 02:07:27.240
you have the floor to present
this item.
Is it information on only item

02:07:28.940 --> 02:07:30.940
no action will be required

02:07:34.533 --> 02:07:36.669
after this update
.
Good evening mayor and council.

02:07:36.669 --> 02:07:38.669
My name is carrie wright.

02:07:40.730 --> 02:07:41.840
I'm the director of economic
development and we have before

02:07:44.177 --> 02:07:46.645
you tonight a quarterly update
which you're familiar with as
we've presented them in the

02:07:48.480 --> 02:07:50.480
past on the emergency rental

02:07:51.950 --> 02:07:53.918
assistance program.
We have four items tonight all

02:07:55.987 --> 02:07:58.856
dealing with homelessness.
And I just want to give a quick
thank you to the admin staff

02:07:59.958 --> 02:08:01.726
that got us here tonight
because we really pushed hard

02:08:03.629 --> 02:08:05.463
to get these items here before
the end of the year.

02:08:07.265 --> 02:08:09.670
Um, the quarterly report on the
emergency rental system this is

02:08:11.703 --> 02:08:14.710
arguably the largest homeless
prevention program the city of
stockton has ever seen.

02:08:16.174 --> 02:08:17.709
It is an intense compact
program lifecycle.

02:08:19.211 --> 02:08:20.945
So we're building a program,
we're sustaining the program.

02:08:22.948 --> 02:08:24.615
My funds exist and then we'll
be ending the program.

02:08:26.918 --> 02:08:29.153
So the important dates this
follows what you've seen in the
past.

02:08:30.689 --> 02:08:32.724
I want to point out the dates
that we've added since the last

02:08:35.193 --> 02:08:37.270
time we spoke SEPTEMBER 20th.
This was a huge deadline

02:08:38.864 --> 02:08:40.899
internally for staff as we
obligated all of the irap round

02:08:42.135 --> 02:08:44.969
one funds.
So as a reminder we received a
round from the treasury around

02:08:46.905 --> 02:08:49.107
from the state and round one in
APRIL.
I wasn't even sure that this

02:08:50.710 --> 02:08:53.411
was going to be possible.
So we're very excited to have
been able to accomplish that on

02:08:58.450 --> 02:09:00.450
SEPTEMBER

02:09:11.763 --> 02:09:13.966
20th well in advance
of the deadlines on SEPTEMBER
30th you might have seen in the

02:09:13.966 --> 02:09:16.468
news a lot of information about
eviction, eviction protections
being eliminated here in
stockton.

02:09:16.468 --> 02:09:19.138
The city council had approved
eviction protections so ours
weren't being ended.
However, there was a lot of

02:09:19.138 --> 02:09:21.606
confusion so worked with the
city manager's office to
promote information about the
program availability.

02:09:21.606 --> 02:09:23.775
We received a lot of
news coverage in several
interviews were on radio really

02:09:23.775 --> 02:09:25.775
trying to push out the

02:09:26.411 --> 02:09:28.579
information on eviction
protections and drive traffic
to the program.

02:09:30.682 --> 02:09:32.682
Those eligible to do the

02:09:34.860 --> 02:09:35.854
program on NOVEMBER 16th we
watch for paid education and

02:09:38.924 --> 02:09:40.558
media campaign that was paid
media driving traffic to

02:09:42.227 --> 02:09:44.361
information.
Um, you might not have seen a

02:09:46.331 --> 02:09:48.200
lot of this because it really
was targeted to our lower

02:09:50.769 --> 02:09:53.270
income folks and we can do that
through social media.
So we're excited to work with a

02:09:54.307 --> 02:09:56.141
professional marketing team
that we're able to place those

02:09:57.376 --> 02:09:59.376
ads for us successful driving

02:10:01.470 --> 02:10:02.713
traffic to us and educating
residents of stockton.

02:10:05.251 --> 02:10:07.852
And on SEPTEMBER 30th we
submitted information to the
treasury as as you might be

02:10:09.821 --> 02:10:11.555
aware, many jurisdictions have
not had the success that

02:10:13.625 --> 02:10:15.860
stockton has had in
distributing funds.
Yes, I'm bragging about the

02:10:16.962 --> 02:10:18.962
team here and they are looking

02:10:20.310 --> 02:10:22.867
at reallocating funds so we
were asked how much additional
funds we would need so we took

02:10:24.970 --> 02:10:26.970
a look what was in the hopper.

02:10:27.939 --> 02:10:30.708
Our trend in applications a few
other data pieces and let the
treasury know that we were

02:10:31.510 --> 02:10:33.510
about seventeen million short

02:10:35.380 --> 02:10:37.715
of what the need is.
Again, a lot of moving parts, a

02:10:39.384 --> 02:10:41.386
lot of fluctuation.
We don't know when the treasury

02:10:43.121 --> 02:10:45.824
would allocate additional funds
,how they will.
We just put in the request that

02:10:46.892 --> 02:10:48.993
we could use them if they're
reallocating them.
So stay tuned on that.

02:10:49.270 --> 02:10:51.270
I'll get more information later

02:10:53.298 --> 02:10:55.567
in the presentation.
Since last we met we brought on

02:10:57.436 --> 02:11:00.171
two additional partners.
We talked about this when we
updated you that we were going

02:11:01.600 --> 02:11:02.573
to bring california rural legal
assistance on board.

02:11:04.609 --> 02:11:06.343
They really providing legal
services to people that have

02:11:07.512 --> 02:11:09.512
issues with evictions or with

02:11:11.583 --> 02:11:13.250
their landlords and they're
providing virtual seminars

02:11:15.521 --> 02:11:17.855
they've already done with the
naacp.
They've done one with el
concilio.

02:11:19.570 --> 02:11:20.891
They'll continue to do those.
The interpreters are free of

02:11:22.527 --> 02:11:24.562
charge and available.
What's important to note on

02:11:26.832 --> 02:11:28.799
this contract in particular it
will outlast the funds that are

02:11:30.436 --> 02:11:32.436
available.

02:11:34.539 --> 02:11:36.675
So as we as the funds get used
and we see more issues, there

02:11:38.944 --> 02:11:41.412
is dedicated funds to support
those residents that are going
to be having problems staying

02:11:43.515 --> 02:11:45.449
in their residence.
We also added funding to san

02:11:47.519 --> 02:11:49.186
joaquin for housing for
dedicated staff and that's

02:11:51.323 --> 02:11:53.824
really for conflict resolution
between landlords and tenants
trying to mediate all of those

02:11:56.128 --> 02:11:57.895
issues and bridge the gap and
come to a good resolution if

02:11:59.931 --> 02:12:01.699
that doesn't work out, then
they go to california rural

02:12:02.534 --> 02:12:05.504
legal assistance.
We find that most of the issues
are around really understanding

02:12:07.720 --> 02:12:09.720
what you're able to do and not

02:12:10.543 --> 02:12:12.910
do iraq applications submitted
.
We have given you this data in

02:12:14.780 --> 02:12:17.470
different forms during the
quarterly reports.
So at the bottom APRIL, how

02:12:19.618 --> 02:12:21.318
many received all the way up to
OCTOBER the latest month we

02:12:23.540 --> 02:12:25.540
have data for in this format

02:12:26.525 --> 02:12:28.360
you'll see that the
applications really came in in

02:12:29.996 --> 02:12:31.796
SEPTEMBER OCTOBER and we
believe that has to do a lot

02:12:34.666 --> 02:12:36.601
with the eviction protections,
lots of media stories, lots of

02:12:37.669 --> 02:12:39.870
information about losing those
protections.
But again those protections are

02:12:41.740 --> 02:12:43.740
in place for the citizens of

02:12:45.811 --> 02:12:47.811
city of stockton.

02:12:49.681 --> 02:12:51.415
Oh, this is a number of dollars
obligated and millions and I'm

02:12:53.819 --> 02:12:56.620
really showing this you can see
some of the trends and
challenges that we saw
throughout the program

02:12:58.570 --> 02:13:00.570
typically you'll have, you

02:13:01.427 --> 02:13:03.950
know, a little bit of funding
go out in APRIL.

02:13:04.429 --> 02:13:07.265
You'll see this nice drive up
plateau.
I mean we've had some fits and
starts.

02:13:09.000 --> 02:13:10.569
Some of that has to do with
staffing availability.

02:13:13.105 --> 02:13:15.105
Both el concilio and I had

02:13:16.808 --> 02:13:18.642
issues with covid in AUGUST so
you see a lower number there

02:13:20.813 --> 02:13:22.547
you'll see bounced back in
SEPTEMBER really driving home

02:13:24.617 --> 02:13:27.850
because anxiety was high in
terms of the SEPTEMBER 30th
deadline and obligated seven

02:13:29.588 --> 02:13:31.355
point four dollars million and
then again some staffing issues

02:13:33.126 --> 02:13:35.826
we're working part time basis
with a lot of our partners and
a lot of the staff we're

02:13:37.296 --> 02:13:39.640
bringing and we're excited that
they're getting full time jobs

02:13:40.633 --> 02:13:42.600
with benefits but it is
hampering us here and there in

02:13:43.835 --> 02:13:45.835
the flow.

02:13:48.306 --> 02:13:50.306
So currently we have upgraded

02:13:51.610 --> 02:13:53.344
the full thirty five million
dollars in all rounds.

02:13:56.470 --> 02:13:57.716
Now I just want to preface that
with we've got thirty five

02:13:59.752 --> 02:14:01.619
million dollars obligated.
There's still four point four

02:14:04.890 --> 02:14:06.590
million in process so it's
taken time to get some of that
funding from the state.

02:14:07.426 --> 02:14:09.126
So we have a process that four
point four million but we've

02:14:10.862 --> 02:14:12.697
obligated thirty five million
that we've received so far.

02:14:14.766 --> 02:14:16.934
So what does that mean?
As of OCTOBER 31st we've had an

02:14:19.138 --> 02:14:21.172
impact on three thousand eight
hundred and sixty two families
here.

02:14:23.750 --> 02:14:25.242
this is households in the city
of stockton.
So the actual number of people

02:14:26.511 --> 02:14:29.114
is higher but three thousand
eight hundred and sixty two
families have been served.

02:14:31.283 --> 02:14:33.283
That number will grow as we add

02:14:34.554 --> 02:14:37.488
data for NOVEMBER and DECEMBER
.
The challenges we face in the
last couple of months workforce

02:14:38.123 --> 02:14:40.491
availability.
This is not just in part time
workers.

02:14:41.827 --> 02:14:43.661
This is also in housing
expertize staff every city that

02:14:46.198 --> 02:14:47.866
has funding and allocations is
hiring for housing expertize

02:14:50.680 --> 02:14:52.503
every consultant is being
tapped for.
Most cities are working on
that.

02:14:53.705 --> 02:14:55.473
So this is a challenge not just
in the last few months for the

02:14:56.943 --> 02:14:58.843
city but for most cities and
will be a continued challenge

02:15:00.812 --> 02:15:02.947
as we really try and develop
our workforce frankly as a
state.

02:15:05.751 --> 02:15:07.751
Um, we have changing reporting

02:15:08.754 --> 02:15:11.323
obligations the reporting
states trying to figure this
out.
The federal government is

02:15:11.323 --> 02:15:13.692
trying to figure this out.
They want to make sure

02:15:13.692 --> 02:15:15.426
everything's tracked so they're
sending down reports it could

02:15:16.728 --> 02:15:18.797
be a full time job for someone
to keep track of this.
We're squeezing it through.

02:15:18.797 --> 02:15:20.999
We're making sure we're getting
it done.

02:15:20.999 --> 02:15:22.366
But it's weekly, monthly and
quarterly.

02:15:25.103 --> 02:15:27.472
It's for the state.
It's for the federal.
We're making sure we don't

02:15:28.140 --> 02:15:30.608
cross the streams it gets very
complicated and we have great
staff helping us with that.

02:15:32.100 --> 02:15:34.779
Some of the other issues
there's a lot of people didn't
seem to understand that housing

02:15:36.181 --> 02:15:37.815
stability services were
available like security

02:15:39.851 --> 02:15:41.819
deposits, relocation storage
fees etc. And or they were able

02:15:44.356 --> 02:15:46.857
to stay in their homes and that
wasn't quite needed yet.
So as we look to the future and

02:15:48.326 --> 02:15:51.630
what this program looks like,
we still think this is a need
how we meet that need hasn't

02:15:52.640 --> 02:15:54.198
been solved.
So next steps we're going to

02:15:56.368 --> 02:15:58.736
continue to fulfill our
reporting obligations.
However, we have to get that

02:15:59.171 --> 02:16:01.473
done.
I always think of that as the
boring piece.

02:16:01.473 --> 02:16:03.473
It's like what we already did

02:16:04.142 --> 02:16:06.577
the work people have been
served but this is a really
important piece of being able

02:16:07.713 --> 02:16:09.381
to tell our story and making
sure that the state and the

02:16:10.949 --> 02:16:13.651
federal government is happy
with the way we're doing the
program that we continue to

02:16:14.754 --> 02:16:16.587
receive additional funds
available finishing up the

02:16:19.791 --> 02:16:21.393
media campaign and the big
important piece since I

02:16:22.394 --> 02:16:24.394
submitted this powerpoint for

02:16:26.865 --> 02:16:28.566
tonight is regarding the wind
down procedures the state has

02:16:30.368 --> 02:16:31.903
looking at their wind down
procedures as well.

02:16:33.972 --> 02:16:35.840
We've been on multiple calls
talking about how are we going

02:16:37.210 --> 02:16:39.711
to end this program.
Nobody really necessarily wants
to end it because we know

02:16:41.580 --> 02:16:43.782
there's need but there is
limitations into the funding
that's available.

02:16:45.852 --> 02:16:47.618
So as we wind down the program
we're going to again prioritize

02:16:49.254 --> 02:16:51.254
our rental arrears which means

02:16:53.158 --> 02:16:54.825
we'll stop funding utilities,
internet perspective rents.

02:16:56.461 --> 02:16:58.730
Those are all things we added
on as the state allowed us to
add on.

02:17:00.433 --> 02:17:02.934
So we want to make sure that we
capture as many families as
possible, restrict some of the

02:17:04.569 --> 02:17:06.470
things we're funding, pull
those back so we can get the

02:17:08.440 --> 02:17:10.742
number of families up and as
many as possible served.
We're going to continue

02:17:12.412 --> 02:17:14.378
processing applications that
are in the queue so that if

02:17:16.449 --> 02:17:18.883
funding becomes available from
the U.S. Treasury that we've
requested we're ready to go.

02:17:19.918 --> 02:17:22.253
We just have to push the
buttons and be done.
We have the administrative

02:17:23.923 --> 02:17:25.623
funding to be able to continue
processing those applications

02:17:27.526 --> 02:17:29.760
and we want to get those
through and everybody with
their paperwork set.

02:17:30.929 --> 02:17:32.798
But we will stop taking
applications lastly and this

02:17:35.267 --> 02:17:37.702
will be at the turn of the
beginning of the year we're
going to work with other

02:17:39.538 --> 02:17:41.406
community partners, other pots
of funding on how we connect

02:17:43.776 --> 02:17:45.577
those people in the queue that
have not yet been funded with

02:17:47.212 --> 02:17:49.113
other resources.
For example, housing authority

02:17:51.116 --> 02:17:53.718
just had their press conference
and housing choice vouchers.
How can we take some of those

02:17:55.320 --> 02:17:57.388
people that are in our pool and
connect them for additional
resources?

02:17:59.240 --> 02:18:01.358
Um, so with that that concludes
the quarterly update on
emergency rental assistance

02:18:03.296 --> 02:18:04.795
program.
Thank you.

02:18:06.765 --> 02:18:08.765
On behalf of the wow wow wow.

02:18:10.936 --> 02:18:12.703
i had my doubts I'm not going
to lie but you delivered on

02:18:14.440 --> 02:18:16.440
this and congratulations.

02:18:18.211 --> 02:18:20.578
This is really mind blowing.
It is very heartfelt and I just

02:18:22.948 --> 02:18:24.582
thank you and your team for
your hard work and your

02:18:26.585 --> 02:18:28.285
dedication along with all the
community based organizations

02:18:30.822 --> 02:18:32.822
el concilio, naacp, aspies and

02:18:33.792 --> 02:18:35.126
so many more that made this
happen.

02:18:37.697 --> 02:18:39.697
This is amazing to hear about

02:18:41.000 --> 02:18:42.734
the amount of families and
property owners that were

02:18:44.503 --> 02:18:45.776
supported during this pandemic
.

02:18:48.407 --> 02:18:50.675
I just have one question.
So I was talking to a property

02:18:55.380 --> 02:18:57.214
owner and he mentioned that the
applicant who was seeking

02:19:00.685 --> 02:19:02.685
support received the payment

02:19:03.790 --> 02:19:05.423
and he did not receive the
payment and the applicant

02:19:07.793 --> 02:19:09.193
basically took the money and
never paid.

02:19:16.536 --> 02:19:18.536
Is that something you've heard

02:19:31.650 --> 02:19:33.753
?
Does it seem like it's
legitimate right.

02:19:33.753 --> 02:19:35.954
So there are cases in which if
a landlord is unresponsive, if
they've been given notice, the

02:19:35.954 --> 02:19:38.224
state has allowed us to go
ahead and find the tenant with
the understanding and agreement

02:19:38.224 --> 02:19:40.392
that they will pay the landlord
if that's not been done and he
believes that to be fraud then

02:19:40.392 --> 02:19:41.827
that can be reported and
investigated.

02:19:42.695 --> 02:19:44.529
Ok, thank you.
I'll I'll let that constituent

02:19:45.732 --> 02:19:47.231
know but thank you so much for
your hard work.

02:19:49.601 --> 02:19:52.304
This is hands down amazing very
proud of the work you guys have
done.
Thank you.

02:19:55.470 --> 02:19:56.906
Thanks very efficacy.
thank you.
Thank you carrie.

02:19:57.776 --> 02:19:59.776
I received numerous calls about

02:20:01.880 --> 02:20:03.615
this people who once they
received their check were

02:20:05.650 --> 02:20:07.650
absolutely ecstatic.

02:20:09.921 --> 02:20:11.921
They were they were, you know,

02:20:13.793 --> 02:20:15.494
relieved because they were on
the precipice of being told

02:20:15.894 --> 02:20:17.894
whether or not they use the

02:20:20.232 --> 02:20:21.832
rule california league or not
that their landlord, our

02:20:27.306 --> 02:20:30.108
landlord wanted it paid and so
I just was I had a couple of
questions as well.

02:20:32.377 --> 02:20:33.944
So how long because I see the
SEPTEMBER on there.

02:20:35.815 --> 02:20:37.815
How long from applying to

02:20:39.851 --> 02:20:41.851
approval to the applicant

02:20:43.455 --> 02:20:45.189
getting the funds what was the
general time period for that?

02:20:47.493 --> 02:20:49.493
So I think you you asked this

02:20:50.662 --> 02:20:52.531
the last time we updated in is
variable because a lot of times

02:20:54.499 --> 02:20:57.134
they won't have all of their
information and it does take a
significant amount of time

02:20:59.271 --> 02:21:01.271
because you will apply you will

02:21:02.775 --> 02:21:04.576
have it vetted and reviewed by
all concilio then it comes over

02:21:07.120 --> 02:21:09.120
to the city's staff who

02:21:10.616 --> 02:21:13.185
verifies it goes to the admin
team to create the wire
transfer it goes the city

02:21:15.387 --> 02:21:17.387
manager office to be signed off

02:21:18.458 --> 02:21:21.920
that goes to back to our team
to yardie and then the funding
distributed because we are

02:21:22.394 --> 02:21:24.950
talking about the thirty five
dollars million so weeks it

02:21:26.231 --> 02:21:28.660
does take weeks it takes longer
than anybody wants it to take

02:21:30.368 --> 02:21:32.237
but I think we're moving as
fast as we can given I think

02:21:34.720 --> 02:21:36.341
that's what it is because
people would say I got
approved, I got approved but

02:21:37.309 --> 02:21:38.977
the checks still out here the
still not here, the checks

02:21:40.846 --> 02:21:42.580
check still not here and i
didn't realize it had to go

02:21:44.983 --> 02:21:46.983
through all of those hands and

02:21:49.589 --> 02:21:52.900
in terms of wire transfer, is
that us transferring it to el
concilio and el concilio then

02:21:53.959 --> 02:21:55.626
cutting the check you already
are on or your force?

02:21:57.462 --> 02:21:59.462
Yes, solution and the thinking

02:22:01.134 --> 02:22:03.567
was steingarten was to issue
the approval so they had
something tangible to show the

02:22:05.271 --> 02:22:07.380
landlord decreased the pressure
but yes the gap is significant.

02:22:09.441 --> 02:22:11.441
Ok and then how many people

02:22:13.146 --> 02:22:15.146
worked on this effort between

02:22:17.150 --> 02:22:19.317
city staff and all of our
partners?
So I know that there were

02:22:21.153 --> 02:22:22.920
caseworkers you mentioned you
already you know I mean how

02:22:24.389 --> 02:22:26.389
many people hands were touching

02:22:28.326 --> 02:22:30.326
all of this so we've we have

02:22:31.630 --> 02:22:34.310
fourteen staff at el concilio
give or take kind of
fluctuating on staff.

02:22:35.935 --> 02:22:37.935
We had a three dedicated part

02:22:40.440 --> 02:22:42.541
time staff tie and I work on it
weekly.
We have a weekly meeting with

02:22:44.276 --> 02:22:46.143
the city manager's office and
alex bailey and at the time

02:22:47.712 --> 02:22:49.681
deputy city manager mark keysha
smith.
I can't tell you how many

02:22:51.160 --> 02:22:53.718
people are at yardie.
All I want to know is that
they're writing the check and

02:22:55.421 --> 02:22:57.188
then partners would I can give
you the number of partners but

02:22:58.791 --> 02:23:01.358
I can't tell you how many in
the organizations.
Well, I mean this is obviously

02:23:03.361 --> 02:23:05.361
a large team endeavor with many

02:23:07.320 --> 02:23:09.400
moving parts to it.
Yeah.
And so in having the public

02:23:11.570 --> 02:23:13.570
understand that it is there are

02:23:14.807 --> 02:23:16.674
all these different individuals
that are working on this in

02:23:18.900 --> 02:23:19.443
order to make it happen.
yeah.

02:23:21.914 --> 02:23:24.615
And then you mentioned
administrative funding so a
portion of this has to then go

02:23:27.285 --> 02:23:29.530
pay the fourteen.
I'll consider the three part

02:23:29.921 --> 02:23:32.557
time staff you already for
doing that.
We have a contract obviously
with you already.

02:23:32.557 --> 02:23:34.557
We don't care how many people

02:23:34.593 --> 02:23:36.293
are working just as long as
they write the checks or get

02:23:37.963 --> 02:23:39.963
that piece of it done.

02:23:41.734 --> 02:23:43.401
The partners do the partners
receive any administrative

02:23:44.836 --> 02:23:47.538
funding for the work they do as
well.
I'm just I want a rough number

02:23:49.374 --> 02:23:51.750
for administrative costs in
order to implement a program

02:23:53.780 --> 02:23:55.450
such as this.
So there were caps on the

02:23:57.282 --> 02:23:59.282
administrative funding um, I

02:24:01.860 --> 02:24:02.921
believe it was seven percent of
first round and ten percent the

02:24:04.991 --> 02:24:07.793
second round.
We need to take a look at
what's left in administrative

02:24:09.694 --> 02:24:11.163
and it'll be part of the wind
down procedures.

02:24:12.497 --> 02:24:15.320
Um, I could tell you I probably
could have hired a bunch more
people to help us if we could

02:24:16.802 --> 02:24:18.803
have found them and if I had to
do it over again I probably
would.

02:24:20.439 --> 02:24:22.139
So there's thirty five million
that's distributed about five

02:24:24.643 --> 02:24:26.310
million for admin cost and that
includes the ability to

02:24:28.380 --> 02:24:30.380
continue serving the fair

02:24:31.650 --> 02:24:33.417
housing pieces so we can we'll
put that in our wind down

02:24:35.655 --> 02:24:37.389
report as a last next quarterly
if we're done with the program

02:24:39.250 --> 02:24:41.930
and give you a full accounting
.
But that's roughly what those

02:24:43.361 --> 02:24:45.630
rough numbers, huh?
well, I'm glad that we had the

02:24:46.998 --> 02:24:48.733
opportunity to help people in
our community who were very,

02:24:51.203 --> 02:24:53.203
very, very concerned that they

02:24:54.172 --> 02:24:55.707
would be the next people living
on our streets.

02:24:58.770 --> 02:25:00.440
And so I'm I'm very grateful to
you and your staff for helping

02:25:02.280 --> 02:25:04.749
make this happen.
Thank you.
Thank you, COUNCILMAN.
Right.

02:25:06.184 --> 02:25:08.719
Thank you.
I want to echo council member
wamsley's comments.

02:25:10.188 --> 02:25:11.622
You have overdelivered.
Thank you.

02:25:14.226 --> 02:25:16.930
We all looked at this and we
said that this is going to be

02:25:17.280 --> 02:25:19.630
daunting especially because of
the workforce issue and yet you

02:25:21.366 --> 02:25:23.335
somehow pulled it out and so I
will I will bang that drum all

02:25:25.637 --> 02:25:27.370
day for you on their way to go
keep it up.

02:25:29.442 --> 02:25:31.675
And I'm also really pleased
with the additional staffing
for carly and sam.

02:25:33.812 --> 02:25:35.546
What for housing that was a
direct ask from our friends at

02:25:36.815 --> 02:25:39.518
the housing justice coalition
and we provided it.
It's not right to counsel which

02:25:41.487 --> 02:25:43.354
is what they want, you know,
which is ultimately if we had

02:25:45.525 --> 02:25:47.525
an unlimited supply of money we

02:25:48.928 --> 02:25:50.861
could provide but um it's it's
a start and people don't have

02:25:52.764 --> 02:25:54.764
to go blindly into a unlawful

02:25:56.635 --> 02:25:58.635
detainer hearing and be facing

02:25:59.938 --> 02:26:01.972
someone who is represented by
an attorney and not have any

02:26:04.342 --> 02:26:06.210
tools at their disposal.
So hopefully sierra is actually

02:26:08.280 --> 02:26:10.247
showing up for some the more
complicated ones of these that

02:26:12.317 --> 02:26:15.152
exist.
I know some of them they just
need to know the rights and to

02:26:16.822 --> 02:26:18.822
a certain and and that will

02:26:20.192 --> 02:26:22.960
that will be enough.
Our judges know our law and and
we just need to assert it.

02:26:24.796 --> 02:26:26.796
But I'm excited about this.

02:26:28.700 --> 02:26:30.700
I agree with counsel or vice

02:26:32.700 --> 02:26:34.720
mayor fugazi that this is
keeping people off the streets

02:26:36.942 --> 02:26:38.642
literally I am scared to death
about what happens when the

02:26:40.513 --> 02:26:42.513
entire covid-19 agency lives

02:26:43.982 --> 02:26:46.170
and we go back to something
close to normal because the

02:26:49.200 --> 02:26:50.889
housing market is going to be a
bit of a shambles at that time

02:26:53.580 --> 02:26:55.593
and I think a lot of people are
going to be facing some serious
serious issues at that time.

02:26:56.895 --> 02:26:59.498
But at least in the meantime
we're keeping them housed.
So great job.

02:27:02.167 --> 02:27:03.768
Thank you.
Thank you.

02:27:06.471 --> 02:27:08.471
That concludes questions.

02:27:10.542 --> 02:27:12.542
Oh thank you.

02:27:15.140 --> 02:27:17.480
So um do I wait for you mayor
to announce the item for next
month?

02:27:18.351 --> 02:27:20.184
Ok, the three authorize the
city of stockton and visionary

02:27:21.820 --> 02:27:23.587
homebuilders of california to
submit a joint application for

02:27:26.458 --> 02:27:28.225
grant funding under project
komaki for the acquisition

02:27:29.661 --> 02:27:31.429
rehabilitation and management
of the four project you have

02:27:33.498 --> 02:27:36.168
for the present.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Carrie wright, director of

02:27:38.360 --> 02:27:39.804
economic development again, as
I mentioned earlier, we have

02:27:41.673 --> 02:27:43.241
several homeless initiatives on
the agenda tonight.

02:27:45.911 --> 02:27:47.911
Um, so I want to go through as

02:27:49.214 --> 02:27:51.949
an overview for project round
two and then we have two
projects to present so I'll go

02:27:53.819 --> 02:27:56.210
ahead and present all of the
information.
But you will be asked or you

02:27:57.689 --> 02:28:00.158
will need to vote separately
for those two items as they're
presented separately on the

02:28:01.293 --> 02:28:02.927
agenda.
Does that work?

02:28:05.798 --> 02:28:07.798
Yes, ok, yes.
I, uh, received the

02:28:08.633 --> 02:28:11.402
presentations concurrently.
Right.
Perfect.
So we're going to add agenda

02:28:12.637 --> 02:28:14.839
item fifteen point four.
Correct.
Adopt the resolution to

02:28:16.642 --> 02:28:18.342
authorize and allocate required
funding match for the housing

02:28:20.679 --> 02:28:23.348
authority of salkin county's
home key project application
and there will be two separate

02:28:24.584 --> 02:28:26.550
votes.
Thank you.
Thank you.

02:28:29.721 --> 02:28:31.721
Um, it's been a pretty amazing

02:28:32.624 --> 02:28:34.358
year about last year this time
was the first round of non

02:28:36.661 --> 02:28:38.429
covid related funds that the
council had approved in a while

02:28:40.899 --> 02:28:42.899
hap funds and really went to a

02:28:44.370 --> 02:28:46.138
lot of program needs as key
initiatives of the strategic

02:28:47.472 --> 02:28:49.407
plan that you all had adopted
in JULY of twenty nineteen that

02:28:51.410 --> 02:28:53.344
we were doing a lot of covid
things but the core pieces of

02:28:56.470 --> 02:28:57.815
of the support for a plan um
part of that came out of hape

02:29:00.119 --> 02:29:01.820
and so we've done a lot of work
in funding coordinated entry.

02:29:04.550 --> 02:29:06.324
We're not the we're not the
responsible ones for
coordinated entry but we are

02:29:07.593 --> 02:29:09.760
responsible to participate in
it.
That work is being done.

02:29:11.496 --> 02:29:13.432
It's not often seen you
approved and funded the largest

02:29:15.867 --> 02:29:17.635
capital expansion of low
barrier shelter that's underway

02:29:19.872 --> 02:29:21.640
cargo containers have been
ordered looking forward to that

02:29:23.942 --> 02:29:25.942
but they keep out of the

02:29:27.512 --> 02:29:29.246
strategic plan that often gets
overlooked because it's so

02:29:30.816 --> 02:29:33.117
daunting is the units required
to house homelessness.
So we've had some small wins.

02:29:38.356 --> 02:29:40.356
We

02:29:52.237 --> 02:29:53.938
the council dedicated
funding and approved funding

02:29:59.111 --> 02:30:01.111
for the first

02:30:12.390 --> 02:30:14.626
home key project
and talk about a wing and a
prayer that was approved in

02:30:14.626 --> 02:30:16.729
APRIL or in AUGUST of twenty
twenty and the property had
purchased by DECEMBER and we

02:30:16.729 --> 02:30:18.864
had folks housed so excited
that the state is dedicating
and really bringing the capital

02:30:18.864 --> 02:30:20.999
dollars into this program
because it is a huge
opportunity to do what really

02:30:20.999 --> 02:30:23.235
needs to be done which is the
housing piece of this and the
prevention I mean we know the

02:30:23.235 --> 02:30:25.270
solutions to to housing or to
homelessness is housing and
prevention with erap is kind of

02:30:25.270 --> 02:30:27.305
a testament to that.
It's the most inexpensive way
to cure and help mitigate the

02:30:27.305 --> 02:30:29.408
issues of homelessness.
So tonight I'm going to walk
you through project home key

02:30:29.408 --> 02:30:32.100
parameters they have updated
and changed them.
They're learning as well.
They've learned a lot from the

02:30:32.100 --> 02:30:33.744
first round as have we and
present the two projects here

02:30:35.947 --> 02:30:37.947
tonight.

02:30:40.118 --> 02:30:42.118
So project 2.0 in SEPTEMBER on

02:30:44.457 --> 02:30:46.230
SEPTEMBER 9th hq which is the
housing and community

02:30:47.427 --> 02:30:48.959
development arm of the state
issued the no fire.

02:30:52.197 --> 02:30:53.931
We knew it was coming but we
didn't have all of the details

02:30:54.800 --> 02:30:57.402
and that they're dedicating
about one point four or five
billion dollars to expand

02:30:58.837 --> 02:31:00.471
housing for persons
experiencing homelessness.

02:31:02.809 --> 02:31:05.376
Eligible applicants can include
cities, counties, councils of
governments and public housing

02:31:07.450 --> 02:31:09.450
authorities eligible uses

02:31:11.249 --> 02:31:13.317
pretty much anything we need it
for acquisition
rehabilitation's hotels,

02:31:14.986 --> 02:31:17.890
motels, commercial buildings,
multifamily.
We like it when we see programs

02:31:17.890 --> 02:31:19.890
that are flexible for our

02:31:19.124 --> 02:31:21.659
communities needs.
A lot of them are usually
geared towards much bigger

02:31:23.610 --> 02:31:24.696
cities.
So this is good.

02:31:26.798 --> 02:31:28.699
Um so how did staff address
this?
We knew it was coming.

02:31:30.436 --> 02:31:32.237
We held a meeting in AUGUST
with everyone that kind of come

02:31:34.607 --> 02:31:36.373
to the table in some various
forms past developers we knew

02:31:38.410 --> 02:31:40.945
that had done work people that
are passionate and said hey,
how are we going to do this?

02:31:42.214 --> 02:31:44.248
What were some the barriers
that you saw in the first
round?

02:31:46.119 --> 02:31:47.886
How would you what's the
likelihood you'd be in a

02:31:49.387 --> 02:31:51.880
position to be able to apply in
our commitment was to bring

02:31:53.292 --> 02:31:55.260
every eligible project that
came forward to council for you

02:31:57.950 --> 02:31:59.464
to approve or not approve.
So ty and I have spent quite a

02:32:01.834 --> 02:32:03.834
few meetings with all kinds of

02:32:05.504 --> 02:32:07.271
different organizations, some
that have an annual budget of

02:32:08.540 --> 02:32:10.474
fifty thousand to realtors
wanting to sell us a hotel but

02:32:12.978 --> 02:32:14.846
we answer a call and in the end
we have two projects which I'll

02:32:16.715 --> 02:32:18.715
get you in a second.

02:32:20.786 --> 02:32:22.186
So what does the grant actually
allow for?

02:32:24.220 --> 02:32:26.458
so there's a baseline capital
amount that the state is
providing between one hundred

02:32:28.160 --> 02:32:30.163
and fifty thousand to two
hundred thousand dollars per
door.

02:32:32.640 --> 02:32:33.831
There's a subpopulation an
allocation of two hundred

02:32:36.134 --> 02:32:38.569
thousand dollars per door or a
hundred seventy five thousand
for homeless youth this is

02:32:40.305 --> 02:32:42.706
really important for two
reasons chronically homeless
are the hardest to house and

02:32:43.975 --> 02:32:45.676
we're doing it successfully now
and I would say our partners

02:32:47.113 --> 02:32:48.880
are doing it successfully now
in town center studios and

02:32:51.250 --> 02:32:52.984
youth we know if we can provide
the services to youth we

02:32:55.454 --> 02:32:57.454
mitigate a problem for decades.

02:32:59.158 --> 02:33:01.593
The state is also offering some
operating subsidies and this is
kind of the biggest croxton

02:33:03.762 --> 02:33:06.263
issue with most of the housing
programs that are available.
We could get them up and

02:33:07.833 --> 02:33:09.600
running but how are we going to
maintain them and we don't have

02:33:10.369 --> 02:33:12.536
the answers to all of that.
But the state is coming to the

02:33:14.306 --> 02:33:16.306
table with some funding.

02:33:18.310 --> 02:33:20.811
The deadlines are aggressive.
The priority and geographic
application deadline is JANUARY

02:33:22.981 --> 02:33:25.517
31st, which is why it was
important to get to you tonight
because we want to make sure

02:33:26.685 --> 02:33:28.285
that we get in on the
geographic and priority

02:33:30.388 --> 02:33:32.490
deadline of JANUARY 31st.
They will continue to take

02:33:33.759 --> 02:33:36.127
applications which means we
will continue to have
conversations of other projects

02:33:37.696 --> 02:33:39.731
come forward and they make
sense.
We'll continue to bring them

02:33:41.433 --> 02:33:43.200
until funds are exhausted or
the application deadline of the

02:33:45.337 --> 02:33:47.304
state MAY 2nd.
The most daunting part of the

02:33:49.174 --> 02:33:50.708
entire program is capital
expenditure costs.

02:33:52.245 --> 02:33:54.111
The state is saying that they
want those dollars spent within

02:33:56.382 --> 02:33:58.215
eight months of award and this
is where some struggle between

02:34:00.652 --> 02:34:02.853
local government and state
requirements.
It's hard to get something done

02:34:04.590 --> 02:34:06.457
in eight months but there are
some waivers and things and

02:34:08.827 --> 02:34:10.827
we're looking at projects that

02:34:11.229 --> 02:34:13.597
we think can meet that deadline
construction completion within
12 months and one hundred

02:34:15.768 --> 02:34:18.690
percent occupancy within 90
days of completion of
construction which isn't that

02:34:19.872 --> 02:34:22.239
big of a deal.
That's ok.
And then any operating subsidy

02:34:23.775 --> 02:34:25.543
expenditure that the state
allocates need to be spent by

02:34:27.713 --> 02:34:29.481
twenty twenty six m awards are
anticipated to be announced in

02:34:32.500 --> 02:34:34.500
FEBRUARY and will continue on a

02:34:35.320 --> 02:34:37.320
rolling basis.

02:34:38.191 --> 02:34:40.891
So I want to go ahead and
identify the two developers in
the audience that are here

02:34:43.395 --> 02:34:45.395
tonight that brought forward

02:34:46.631 --> 02:34:48.499
two projects we carol are
analysts who is the ceo of

02:34:50.536 --> 02:34:52.903
visionary homebuilders of
california and we have peter
ragsdale, the executive

02:34:54.674 --> 02:34:56.273
director of the housing
authority now working.

02:34:58.377 --> 02:35:01.110
So the first project we have
that I want to share with you
is called the floor of

02:35:02.481 --> 02:35:04.716
development by visionary
homebuilders.
This is a fifteen unit

02:35:06.585 --> 02:35:08.585
supportive housing project for

02:35:09.655 --> 02:35:11.356
homeless women and women's
families that are subject to

02:35:13.592 --> 02:35:15.861
domestic violence, abuse or sex
trafficked.
We have seen a rising increase

02:35:17.629 --> 02:35:19.730
in this population in our
unsheltered and this helps
address this.

02:35:21.767 --> 02:35:23.769
This is a smaller project but
also a very accomplishable
project.

02:35:25.772 --> 02:35:27.506
The target income would be
thirty percent of am I it's

02:35:29.574 --> 02:35:31.108
thirteen one bedrooms and two
two bedroom units.

02:35:33.946 --> 02:35:36.147
It would have onsite support of
services which is a key
component of permanent

02:35:37.883 --> 02:35:39.650
supportive housing with the
women's center youth and family

02:35:42.200 --> 02:35:43.721
services the total cost of the
project is five point eight

02:35:45.857 --> 02:35:47.857
million with city capital and

02:35:49.194 --> 02:35:51.463
operating match of two million
.
So here we're ensuring a little

02:35:52.632 --> 02:35:54.532
bit more operating expense.
It's a competitive project as

02:35:56.535 --> 02:35:58.335
you've read the staff report,
there's more details in there.

02:36:00.372 --> 02:36:02.641
We've had extensive
conversations.
Deputy director of housing itti

02:36:04.810 --> 02:36:06.677
wilson roths robinson has done
a lot of vetting on this

02:36:08.313 --> 02:36:10.781
project calculating in
escalation seven percent just
given kind of rising and

02:36:12.651 --> 02:36:14.651
fluctuating markets contingency

02:36:16.321 --> 02:36:18.321
funds the the developer has

02:36:19.491 --> 02:36:21.592
site control a complete
control.
She's bought the building

02:36:23.329 --> 02:36:25.262
already so really ready to go
actually um they've held the

02:36:27.467 --> 02:36:29.433
pre development meeting with
you which is a requirement.

02:36:31.303 --> 02:36:33.471
So for us staff is recommending
adoption of this and I go

02:36:36.141 --> 02:36:38.109
through the the what needs to
be adopted and then if it's ok

02:36:40.213 --> 02:36:41.880
I'll go ahead and do peter's
project what needs to be

02:36:42.881 --> 02:36:44.648
adopted and then we'll we'll do
the votes if that's ok.

02:36:47.519 --> 02:36:49.354
Ok the recommendations are
extensive because we use the

02:36:51.523 --> 02:36:53.523
state's template as required.

02:36:54.427 --> 02:36:56.994
Um and basically I'll summarize
it's to approve and authorize
the submission of a joint

02:36:59.966 --> 02:37:02.233
application submitted by the
city of stockton in
collaboration with visionary

02:37:02.602 --> 02:37:04.568
homebuilders.
It authorizes the city to enter

02:37:06.838 --> 02:37:08.672
into the agreements with the
state as well as the grant

02:37:10.642 --> 02:37:13.770
agreements for two million up
to two million dollars with
visionary homebuilders.

02:37:14.981 --> 02:37:17.281
It acknowledges that we're
going to be held accountable to
these agreements.

02:37:19.419 --> 02:37:21.419
Um and then the next is to

02:37:22.822 --> 02:37:25.156
authorize the city manager to
allocate the two million
dollars of the city's hopp

02:37:27.293 --> 02:37:29.126
round to funds and arpa funding
which I'll explain in a second

02:37:31.196 --> 02:37:33.196
which the required match

02:37:43.334 --> 02:37:45.760
approve and authorize the city
manager to execute the
application and all the home
key documents and approve the
authorized revenue expenditure
budget.
So I do want to just mention

02:37:46.345 --> 02:37:48.180
that the funding that is being
requested tonight is contingent

02:37:50.982 --> 02:37:52.982
on a approved application from

02:37:54.486 --> 02:37:56.454
hkd so we don't spend it unless
we get the match which is a

02:37:58.724 --> 02:38:00.991
pretty significant match.
I do want to note the hat round

02:38:03.361 --> 02:38:05.361
to funding is in hand from the

02:38:06.865 --> 02:38:08.865
state it was you approved in

02:38:10.435 --> 02:38:13.270
NOVEMBER 17th twenty twenty to
apply for it and spend it on
affordable housing so we're

02:38:14.206 --> 02:38:16.640
bringing that back to as well
as you'll see in the staff
report the financial section

02:38:19.411 --> 02:38:21.411
looking to apply some of the

02:38:22.881 --> 02:38:25.449
arpa reserve.
We don't know the exact
combination yet because all of

02:38:27.319 --> 02:38:29.530
these funding sources have a
different eligibility what you

02:38:30.622 --> 02:38:32.591
can spend things on so staff
would like the the ability to

02:38:34.459 --> 02:38:36.459
use the funds or the arpa funds

02:38:38.430 --> 02:38:40.430
as we're allowed to for the

02:38:41.800 --> 02:38:43.902
needed items of the project.
So I just want to explain that

02:38:46.144 --> 02:38:48.144
funding so we're very clear the

02:38:48.907 --> 02:38:50.708
second project is the housing
authority of san joaquin county

02:38:52.811 --> 02:38:55.246
proposes a permanent supportive
housing motel conversion to
serve the chronically homeless

02:38:56.948 --> 02:38:58.948
and homeless youth.

02:39:00.952 --> 02:39:03.154
The target amount is thirty
percent extremely low income
households.

02:39:05.358 --> 02:39:06.991
This is a hundred and twenty
one hotel that would be

02:39:09.161 --> 02:39:10.694
converted into sixty eight one
bedroom apartments.

02:39:12.664 --> 02:39:14.598
We would have onsite support
services and case management to

02:39:16.768 --> 02:39:19.270
be provided by multiple
partners parents by choice mary
magdalene services and central

02:39:21.400 --> 02:39:23.108
valley low income housing.
The reason I'm gratified to see

02:39:24.576 --> 02:39:26.343
the partners here is some of
those were the very ones that

02:39:28.313 --> 02:39:30.470
we were had the meeting with in
AUGUST when they were asking

02:39:31.783 --> 02:39:34.518
about and how they could help
and how they can participate.
And here we're seeing the

02:39:35.887 --> 02:39:38.355
results of some of that work
staff did.
In addition, we like to see

02:39:40.358 --> 02:39:42.260
mary magdalene on this as well
because they focus on the

02:39:43.280 --> 02:39:45.530
african-american community and
knowing that thirty percent of
our unsheltered population is

02:39:48.433 --> 02:39:50.102
african american and that we
can't deliberately choose

02:39:51.436 --> 02:39:53.938
african-american housing, how
can we do that?
We can present programs that

02:39:55.173 --> 02:39:56.808
are targeted to
african-americans to get

02:39:59.277 --> 02:40:01.112
referrals into the program.
So we're excited about that.

02:40:02.848 --> 02:40:04.915
The total development cost and
this is granted an estimate

02:40:07.519 --> 02:40:09.386
it's designed to capture the
most amount of funding from the

02:40:10.822 --> 02:40:13.524
state.
So the total development costs
are looking at twenty five

02:40:18.530 --> 02:40:20.530
million

02:40:32.577 --> 02:40:34.980
with a capital
operating subsidy of six
million fifty thousand from the
city.

02:40:34.980 --> 02:40:37.820
That's the required match and
this one is a little bit
different because we won't be

02:40:37.820 --> 02:40:39.185
the applicant which frankly I'm
excited about because we don't
have to do the admin office.

02:40:39.185 --> 02:40:41.319
So in this case we're not
authorizing the application.
We're simply authorizing the

02:40:41.319 --> 02:40:43.422
six million and fifty thousand
dollars of american rescue plan
act dollars that will become

02:40:43.422 --> 02:40:45.422
from the down payment

02:40:45.857 --> 02:40:48.460
assistance and the cordon
coordinated entry line items
that you approved in SEPTEMBER.

02:40:49.194 --> 02:40:51.194
So we are shifting some funds

02:40:53.498 --> 02:40:55.498
very intentionally and approved

02:40:56.868 --> 02:40:59.700
the city manager to work
through all those items if
approved.

02:41:01.206 --> 02:41:03.740
Again, this is contingent and
we're spending one dollar to

02:41:05.877 --> 02:41:07.877
get I can't do the three and a

02:41:08.800 --> 02:41:10.981
half dollars if approved.
So that concludes the report.
I'm sure there might be

02:41:12.217 --> 02:41:13.751
questions.
Thank you.

02:41:16.321 --> 02:41:18.230
Do you have any public comments
for tonight in fifteen point

02:41:19.424 --> 02:41:21.920
three or fifteen point four?
We do mayor.

02:41:23.428 --> 02:41:25.630
Our first comment is from the
stockton housing justice

02:41:27.332 --> 02:41:29.332
coalition.

02:41:31.604 --> 02:41:33.305
Dear mayor lincoln and city
council members, the housing

02:41:34.406 --> 02:41:36.874
justice coalition believes that
everyone across the spectrum of
housing stability deserves a

02:41:38.543 --> 02:41:40.144
safe home in partnership with
stockton's residents and

02:41:42.247 --> 02:41:44.648
community based organizations,
the stockton housing justice
coalition has established our

02:41:46.284 --> 02:41:48.180
central priorities one prevent
evictions through implementing

02:41:49.922 --> 02:41:51.856
a local right to counsel
program to build more housing

02:41:53.525 --> 02:41:55.226
local build more housing
through a local housing trust

02:41:57.330 --> 02:41:59.797
fund and three ensure that
there is a no displacement
without navigation for

02:42:01.534 --> 02:42:03.201
unsheltered community as it
relates to our build more

02:42:05.300 --> 02:42:07.405
housing priority, the coalition
would like to express
enthusiastic support for the

02:42:09.141 --> 02:42:11.675
authorization of this proposed
law project application from
the city of stockton and

02:42:12.811 --> 02:42:14.811
visionary homebuilders as well

02:42:16.715 --> 02:42:19.150
as funding is a funding match
for the housing authority of
san joaquin county's permanent

02:42:20.553 --> 02:42:22.520
supportive housing project.
As proposed, the floor project

02:42:24.456 --> 02:42:26.190
will provide stable housing for
women and victims of domestic

02:42:28.940 --> 02:42:30.594
violence, which fills a much
needed housing gap in our
community due to increased

02:42:32.764 --> 02:42:34.432
stressors and stay at home
waters due to the pandemic

02:42:36.302 --> 02:42:38.469
which have led to an uptick in
domestic violence.
According to the national

02:42:39.504 --> 02:42:41.440
domestic violence hotline.
There were 17 percent more

02:42:43.208 --> 02:42:45.976
calls from californians from
MARCH to MAY of twenty twenty
compared to the same time frame

02:42:47.412 --> 02:42:49.981
in twenty eighteen.
Currently there are few
emergency shelters where women

02:42:51.850 --> 02:42:53.318
and children can seek safety
and stability.

02:42:55.354 --> 02:42:57.721
The coalition is in support of
any housing project that
prioritizes safety and support

02:42:59.591 --> 02:43:01.325
for those facing abuse.
The housing justice coalition

02:43:03.229 --> 02:43:05.996
believes in housing first the
premise that folks need a safe,
stable place to live in order

02:43:07.667 --> 02:43:09.401
to address other challenges
they MAY face personal health

02:43:10.602 --> 02:43:12.570
issues, financial distress,
education and workforce
training.

02:43:15.600 --> 02:43:17.108
According to the us department
of housing and urban
development, permanent

02:43:18.844 --> 02:43:20.511
supportive housing models which
use the housing first model

02:43:22.748 --> 02:43:24.315
have proven to be highly
effective for ending

02:43:26.352 --> 02:43:28.586
homelessness housing for those
at risk.
Homelessness must be permanent,

02:43:30.388 --> 02:43:32.823
supportive and include
essential wraparound services.
Because of these principles,

02:43:34.594 --> 02:43:36.961
the coalition's supports the
housing authority of sen.
Mccain's proposed project of

02:43:38.864 --> 02:43:40.564
renovating a motel on
marcheline into a sixty eight

02:43:42.567 --> 02:43:44.368
one bedroom apartments.
Currently there are not enough

02:43:46.405 --> 02:43:48.740
stable supportive housing units
for the chronically homeless
and extremely low income

02:43:50.343 --> 02:43:52.309
community members.
The more projects such as the

02:43:53.379 --> 02:43:55.781
housing authorities that
prioritize permanence and a
community resource the better

02:43:57.916 --> 02:44:00.318
we appreciate your commitment
to building affordable housing
for the community and look

02:44:01.987 --> 02:44:03.987
forward to more projects such

02:44:08.493 --> 02:44:11.129
as these great digital rights.
Stockton city council I write
in support of agenda fifteen

02:44:13.980 --> 02:44:14.732
point four in providing home
key match support to the

02:44:16.401 --> 02:44:18.769
housing authority of san
walking county to develop
permanent supportive housing

02:44:20.640 --> 02:44:22.374
units to serve homeless youth
and foster youth populations.

02:44:24.876 --> 02:44:27.144
The adaptive reuse of motel
properties into residential
apartments is far more

02:44:28.815 --> 02:44:30.649
economical than group then
ground up construction in the

02:44:32.170 --> 02:44:33.717
city six point five million
dollar investment which will

02:44:36.221 --> 02:44:37.855
draw down draw down over 19
million dollars in state

02:44:39.491 --> 02:44:41.959
funding.
The proposal also includes
supportive services being

02:44:43.729 --> 02:44:45.429
provided by several local
community based organizations

02:44:47.632 --> 02:44:49.367
with substantial experience in
providing tenant based rental

02:44:51.270 --> 02:44:54.172
assistance and social services
.
The housing authority has been
a valued partner with the san

02:44:55.700 --> 02:44:56.741
joaquin county health care
services agency and developing

02:44:58.343 --> 02:45:00.678
permanent supportive housing
units for behavioral health
consumers and veterans.

02:45:03.148 --> 02:45:04.882
I look forward to expanding
this partnership and supporting

02:45:06.785 --> 02:45:09.488
the development of additional
housing units in stockton and
the county and will work to

02:45:10.922 --> 02:45:12.623
support the service delivery
needs of tenants of these

02:45:13.658 --> 02:45:15.658
projects.

02:45:18.231 --> 02:45:19.998
Guest user rights parents by
choice urges you to support

02:45:22.167 --> 02:45:24.136
project key proposal from the
housing authority of san
joaquin.

02:45:26.105 --> 02:45:27.806
Our agency provides housing for
former foster youth who have

02:45:30.108 --> 02:45:31.809
turned 18 years old but who
needs a safety net as they

02:45:33.613 --> 02:45:35.579
prepare for adulthood.
We are excited to partner with

02:45:37.616 --> 02:45:40.152
the housing authority san
joaquin in this area of great
need this project will

02:45:41.788 --> 02:45:43.555
stabilize housing option,
reduce program expenses and

02:45:45.591 --> 02:45:47.591
will increase increase capacity

02:45:49.561 --> 02:45:51.561
to serve the youth in need.

02:45:53.832 --> 02:45:55.832
Guest user writes us asprin

02:45:57.269 --> 02:45:59.300
that is a statewide nonprofit
currently serving four hundred

02:46:01.106 --> 02:46:02.773
and forty current and former
foster youth in supportive

02:46:04.610 --> 02:46:07.178
housing.
We've been providing housing
and supportive services to 18

02:46:09.314 --> 02:46:11.480
to 24 year olds in turmoil king
county since 2008 and currently

02:46:12.417 --> 02:46:14.186
serve thirty three young adults
in stockton we see the housing

02:46:16.488 --> 02:46:18.255
gaps in the city and state and
are well positioned to partner

02:46:19.625 --> 02:46:21.525
with the housing authority on
this project to expand housing

02:46:23.362 --> 02:46:26.300
and supportive services to at
risk youth and adults.
Spearin it supports this

02:46:27.499 --> 02:46:29.499
project that concludes our

02:46:31.170 --> 02:46:32.604
public comment.
Thank you.

02:46:34.874 --> 02:46:37.541
That's my privacy.
Thank you, mayor.
I just had a couple of

02:46:39.211 --> 02:46:41.450
questions obviously we know
that we need more housing

02:46:43.810 --> 02:46:45.116
options in a city.
I guess my comment is coming

02:46:47.385 --> 02:46:49.385
from our JUNE 22nd meeting

02:46:51.189 --> 02:46:53.189
where we discussed how we

02:46:54.761 --> 02:46:56.828
wanted the arpa funds to be
spent and this six million and

02:46:59.498 --> 02:47:01.198
and I'm under the assumption
that we'll get funded because

02:47:02.300 --> 02:47:04.200
we have quality people that are
putting a quality project out

02:47:05.904 --> 02:47:08.305
there and we've been successful
in the past.
So I'm thinking we're going to

02:47:09.941 --> 02:47:12.309
continue that success.
So I have no doubt that that we

02:47:14.180 --> 02:47:16.180
will get this done.

02:47:18.150 --> 02:47:20.150
But my concern is the six

02:47:21.654 --> 02:47:23.422
million coming out of the area
we have under listed under

02:47:24.990 --> 02:47:26.825
homeless and housing for our
rpa so for the housing

02:47:28.894 --> 02:47:31.263
authority project we're
proposing that the funding
under the housing and

02:47:33.331 --> 02:47:35.990
homelessness dedicated to down
payment assistance as well as

02:47:37.502 --> 02:47:39.502
to a thousand dollars dedicated

02:47:40.539 --> 02:47:42.339
to the cornetta entry b
allocated to this project.

02:47:45.770 --> 02:47:47.770
And if I could say just at the

02:47:49.147 --> 02:47:51.582
time JUNE 22nd we also were
being notified we would get
additional home aafp funds of

02:47:52.651 --> 02:47:54.552
six million.
We have hop around three coming

02:47:56.388 --> 02:47:58.422
but the state the federal
government are in the same
position.

02:48:00.325 --> 02:48:02.426
We are vacant, build these
programs and spend that money
fast enough.

02:48:04.196 --> 02:48:06.664
So when we made the
recommendations the thinking
was we would have all of these

02:48:07.132 --> 02:48:09.967
other dollars.
We're still going to get those.
But in order to meet the

02:48:11.203 --> 02:48:13.237
deadline for geographical yes,
we are recommending that we use

02:48:15.575 --> 02:48:17.575
the six million fifty thousand

02:48:18.710 --> 02:48:20.578
from the homelessness section
of the art funds for the

02:48:22.748 --> 02:48:24.982
housing authority because I'm
just looking at the the draft
form.

02:48:26.719 --> 02:48:28.719
I also have a draft form on me

02:48:30.222 --> 02:48:32.189
but I'm looking on it on here
and it has five million for the

02:48:33.860 --> 02:48:36.560
first the first year and seven
million for the first round and
seven million for the second

02:48:37.796 --> 02:48:39.964
round.
And I know that we have a

02:48:41.933 --> 02:48:44.603
meeting on JANUARY six.
We're going to be discussing
several different other things

02:48:46.400 --> 02:48:48.400
that we have listed here.

02:48:49.274 --> 02:48:51.676
So I I want to make sure we
have enough to go around
especially considering the next

02:48:54.379 --> 02:48:56.460
item on our agenda as well that
the county's going to be

02:48:57.315 --> 02:48:59.315
looking at us to make sure that

02:49:00.886 --> 02:49:02.853
we can pull our fair share of
any other programs that we want

02:49:04.856 --> 02:49:07.426
to do if we want to get funds
from them.
So are they going to look at

02:49:09.928 --> 02:49:11.928
this and say oh well good job

02:49:12.799 --> 02:49:14.833
stockton on on this application
and all we see then you only

02:49:14.833 --> 02:49:16.833
have x amount of dollars MAY be

02:49:16.836 --> 02:49:18.836
left.

02:49:20.338 --> 02:49:22.400
So I just I mean I just want to
understand how we're going to

02:49:23.875 --> 02:49:25.843
move forward with this knowing
that we want to fund something

02:49:28.280 --> 02:49:30.810
projects like this but also
knowing we have other things we

02:49:32.218 --> 02:49:33.651
need to take care of as well.
Right.

02:49:35.621 --> 02:49:37.621
So in we use the SEPTEMBER um

02:49:40.426 --> 02:49:42.293
adopted guidance with the
reserve fund as of a guidance

02:49:43.962 --> 02:49:45.931
for our funds and you will see
in the next item there is three

02:49:47.632 --> 02:49:49.632
point six million dedicated to

02:49:51.304 --> 02:49:53.400
will your shelter and that's
what we're proposing to help

02:49:54.390 --> 02:49:56.390
match with the county funding

02:49:58.243 --> 02:50:00.243
when we get to that portion.

02:50:02.748 --> 02:50:04.748
Ok, well I think that I did

02:50:06.252 --> 02:50:08.185
write questions down hang on.
Well, that's it for for now

02:50:10.356 --> 02:50:12.423
I'll I see other lights.
Thank you of course to work

02:50:13.392 --> 02:50:16.327
well thank you mayor.
I'm sorry about these projects.
I think I think this is really

02:50:17.796 --> 02:50:19.564
good and eight months out it's
a tight window especially on

02:50:21.733 --> 02:50:23.501
the twenty six point our
project but they do great work

02:50:26.271 --> 02:50:27.972
and I'm sure uh you know, he's
going to deliver one of the

02:50:28.774 --> 02:50:30.774
things I brought up before was

02:50:32.812 --> 02:50:34.579
uh kind of uh my desire to kind
of get in front of these

02:50:39.618 --> 02:50:41.618
project

02:50:53.698 --> 02:50:56.201
um projects.
And what I mean by that is I
know you put the baseline

02:50:56.201 --> 02:50:58.271
capital amount is one fifty but
if correct me if I'm wrong but
will the state also match a

02:50:58.271 --> 02:51:00.506
certain amount dollar for
dollar that the city puts in to
a project above the one fifty?

02:51:00.506 --> 02:51:02.541
So we are asking for fifty.
It's it's a complicated formula
that starts with initial

02:51:02.541 --> 02:51:04.709
dollars but on the housing
authority project we're

02:51:04.709 --> 02:51:06.709
basically putting fifty

02:51:08.800 --> 02:51:10.800
thousand dollars per initial

02:51:12.217 --> 02:51:14.510
door and the state is matching
that with two hundred a

02:51:16.321 --> 02:51:18.321
thousand dollars so that's four

02:51:20.462 --> 02:51:21.989
to one fifty plus the fifty
that we put in so they'll two
hundred for our no it's 50 plus

02:51:23.829 --> 02:51:25.829
the two hundred so they're

02:51:27.199 --> 02:51:29.199
putting in two fifty four fifty

02:51:31.470 --> 02:51:33.305
it is two hundred thousand
dollars from the state we're

02:51:35.574 --> 02:51:38.750
giving fifty thousand so in my
mind that's two hundred fifty
thousand if I'm not doing the I

02:51:40.450 --> 02:51:42.413
don't know I think on the same
page right yeah we're getting
one hundred fifty per door

02:51:43.615 --> 02:51:46.830
they're matching our fifty so
they're then putting in two
hundred and we're putting in

02:51:47.519 --> 02:51:49.519
fifty yeah a total of 250 yes

02:51:52.224 --> 02:51:54.725
yes yes so and what I was
trying to go through this I
know these projects like that

02:51:55.961 --> 02:51:57.728
we're matching but what I was
trying when I was pushing for

02:51:59.198 --> 02:52:00.999
this earlier is when we can get
ahead of when I wanted to get

02:52:02.768 --> 02:52:04.535
ahead of these things was to
commit dollars ahead of time

02:52:07.305 --> 02:52:09.305
saying hey, we are we will

02:52:10.509 --> 02:52:12.509
match like bring us a project.

02:52:14.646 --> 02:52:16.715
We'll match 75 or one hundred
or fifty whatever it MAY be.
And it felt at least in this

02:52:18.784 --> 02:52:20.784
process as though we were a

02:52:22.487 --> 02:52:24.556
little more responsive.
You submit a project, we'll see

02:52:25.792 --> 02:52:27.658
what your needs are and it felt
it felt like maybe it didn't

02:52:30.162 --> 02:52:32.162
draw as many projects as that.

02:52:33.331 --> 02:52:35.900
Maybe there maybe I don't know
instead of saying hey here
we'll give you five million

02:52:38.236 --> 02:52:39.871
dollars, you bring us a project
that we're committed to a

02:52:40.806 --> 02:52:42.573
hundred dollars or whatever and
I know that's not going to

02:52:44.342 --> 02:52:47.440
change this but in the event
that there is another round of
this is is that something we

02:52:49.848 --> 02:52:51.282
could do is try to when we sent
out that no.

02:52:52.718 --> 02:52:55.386
We say we're committed because
it's it's kind of the approach
I'm going to that I'm going to

02:52:56.221 --> 02:52:58.256
be pushing for on the next one
was telling people that we are

02:53:00.725 --> 02:53:02.560
committed up front with x
dollars and of course it would

02:53:04.229 --> 02:53:05.930
be dependent upon the fact that
an application being approved

02:53:08.867 --> 02:53:10.735
by the state but doing this for
a living I know at one hundred

02:53:11.903 --> 02:53:13.637
fifty thousand at or at least
right now you're not building

02:53:15.774 --> 02:53:18.175
anything be really hard and I
know the numbers probably I
think three hundreds quite

02:53:20.145 --> 02:53:22.145
honestly and if I probably

02:53:23.482 --> 02:53:26.383
being real from what I've seen
I think we're probably closer
to four hundred per door so and

02:53:28.353 --> 02:53:30.540
the price per unit that
includes the operating is in

02:53:31.958 --> 02:53:34.126
the staff report.
I've written it down here I can

02:53:35.894 --> 02:53:37.894
take a look at it so I mean I

02:53:39.564 --> 02:53:42.660
guess council can direct
however they want the arpa
funds or other funds as they

02:53:43.735 --> 02:53:46.471
come about.
You know, I think that's what
I'm trying to get you could we

02:53:48.140 --> 02:53:50.441
do that because in the event
this happens again, I think
that's I like forewarning

02:53:52.310 --> 02:53:54.211
that's the way at least I'm
going to try to push it is to

02:53:54.679 --> 02:53:56.647
commit a little bit ahead of
time and put a little bit more

02:53:58.518 --> 02:54:00.652
money out there to get a bigger
as these projects are both
great.

02:54:02.554 --> 02:54:04.889
But I know that I know you're
overwhelmed.
I know these folks they're

02:54:07.160 --> 02:54:09.160
building projects and it's on

02:54:10.662 --> 02:54:12.631
this is still a while I think
it's a lot of money per door.

02:54:12.732 --> 02:54:14.732
I still think it's it is tight

02:54:15.267 --> 02:54:17.135
for them and I think that
there's not much room for error

02:54:19.404 --> 02:54:21.720
and so I think they're both
amazing processing things.

02:54:22.808 --> 02:54:25.643
I still think it's tight and
I'd like to figure out how we
if there is another round if we

02:54:26.711 --> 02:54:28.711
could do more so that we make a

02:54:30.182 --> 02:54:32.182
project like a bigger project

02:54:34.152 --> 02:54:36.421
possible so but kudos to you
and your staff.
I think all these projects are
going to be amazing, much

02:54:36.421 --> 02:54:38.421
needed.

02:54:38.690 --> 02:54:40.690
I look forward to more so thank

02:54:40.725 --> 02:54:42.725
you.

02:54:43.995 --> 02:54:45.530
Council member warmsley.
Thank you mayor.

02:54:47.866 --> 02:54:49.400
Um, complex issues require
multiple approaches.

02:54:51.970 --> 02:54:53.970
Um, this sounds great.

02:54:56.410 --> 02:54:58.476
Um, my biggest concern and I
will continue to champion this
every time we talk about

02:55:00.613 --> 02:55:02.613
housing housing for home and I

02:55:04.282 --> 02:55:05.983
think that some of the
difficult conversations that

02:55:07.886 --> 02:55:09.886
I've had in the community with

02:55:11.957 --> 02:55:13.891
residents and constituents is
feeling left out in the

02:55:15.995 --> 02:55:17.962
apartment and housing realm.
And so how do we track

02:55:19.197 --> 02:55:20.931
accountability to ensure that
stock tony ends and those who

02:55:24.170 --> 02:55:26.170
are most vulnerable in our own

02:55:28.440 --> 02:55:30.174
housed communities are have
access to these housing

02:55:31.900 --> 02:55:33.900
opportunities.

02:55:36.314 --> 02:55:38.949
So that's kind of my concern.
I know that you know, this
probably isn't the appropriate

02:55:40.510 --> 02:55:41.653
agenda item to really
conversation about that.

02:55:43.555 --> 02:55:45.189
But as we move forward in our
small commissions and

02:55:48.593 --> 02:55:50.593
committees, I'm going to be

02:55:51.464 --> 02:55:53.231
very direct and anna and as a
matter of fact in investigating

02:55:56.335 --> 02:55:57.935
and exploring who who is
receiving these housing

02:56:00.338 --> 02:56:02.730
opportunities and is it the
vulnerable communities that are

02:56:05.770 --> 02:56:07.770
reflective when we go out and

02:56:07.980 --> 02:56:10.820
do our um point in time count?
Um, I'm support I'm supportive

02:56:12.517 --> 02:56:14.252
of it but I also want to make
sure that there's equality and

02:56:16.155 --> 02:56:17.788
equity in applicants those who
receive these housing

02:56:20.250 --> 02:56:22.270
opportunities especially when
it has the city of stockton

02:56:24.162 --> 02:56:26.162
imprint on the application.

02:56:28.233 --> 02:56:31.690
Council member canepa.
I just have a couple of and so
basically for the four project

02:56:32.672 --> 02:56:33.938
you're asking for two million.
Yes.

02:56:36.409 --> 02:56:38.143
And for the the hotel project
six million six million 50000.

02:56:40.546 --> 02:56:42.280
But you're not talking about
grabbing three point six off of

02:56:42.981 --> 02:56:45.217
this to help pay for that.
Ok, so then the next question

02:56:47.686 --> 02:56:49.686
is is the timetable doable for

02:56:51.556 --> 02:56:53.556
the the the hotel it says

02:56:54.993 --> 02:56:56.927
twelve months right.
That's that's kind of fast.

02:56:58.997 --> 02:57:00.966
So there are waivers available
I would say I don't want to

02:57:01.967 --> 02:57:03.801
start off with the negative of
but we did connect our

02:57:06.500 --> 02:57:08.730
community development team with
mr axle's team to go visit the

02:57:10.642 --> 02:57:12.376
site and walk through the site
and preemptively look at any

02:57:17.315 --> 02:57:19.490
kind of fatal flaws and the
understanding was it was still

02:57:21.153 --> 02:57:23.187
something that's conceivable.
Again, it's a lot of work.

02:57:23.388 --> 02:57:25.388
It's going to take a lot to get

02:57:26.570 --> 02:57:27.458
it done but we need it so and
that's huge.

02:57:29.610 --> 02:57:31.296
That's a tall order if you guys
can get that done, I'll be very
impressed.

02:57:32.731 --> 02:57:34.398
I mean no pressure but these
are good projects for the

02:57:35.600 --> 02:57:37.600
amount of money and the bang

02:57:40.605 --> 02:57:42.339
for the buck um, the math
sometimes is a little unclear

02:57:43.410 --> 02:57:45.110
but it looks like it'll work so
yeah, it is a weird formula

02:57:47.779 --> 02:57:50.810
with the steet and I mean I
think we can look at the
housing authorities track

02:57:51.750 --> 02:57:53.551
record for delivering projects
and in community developments

02:57:55.554 --> 02:57:57.789
committed to working through
and helping with the housing
projects for units.

02:58:03.229 --> 02:58:05.229
I'm sure it can counterbalance

02:58:06.566 --> 02:58:08.566
I like the 83 units for the
eight million I like our
partners.

02:58:10.769 --> 02:58:12.769
I they'll deliver the housing

02:58:14.106 --> 02:58:16.508
authority and visionary homes.
Um and I also like the on site

02:58:18.544 --> 02:58:20.278
supportive services who are
partners ah with that parents

02:58:23.490 --> 02:58:24.716
by choice magdalena services in
central valley low income.

02:58:26.385 --> 02:58:27.985
So I think that's also very
positive so I'm fully

02:58:29.588 --> 02:58:31.588
supportive of this so thank you

02:58:32.958 --> 02:58:34.958
for bringing this to us and um

02:58:37.620 --> 02:58:38.997
quick timeline for getting this
grant in and also for the

02:58:40.465 --> 02:58:42.199
construction but it's good.
We need it.

02:58:48.206 --> 02:58:50.107
We need it so thank you mr
rexdale is there anything you'd

02:58:55.515 --> 02:58:57.515
like to share

02:58:58.784 --> 02:59:00.784
just just the

02:59:02.454 --> 02:59:04.550
mayor council members so the
timeline is aggressive.

02:59:06.426 --> 02:59:08.594
So what I think one of the
things we contemplate is and I
understand there's plenty of

02:59:08.594 --> 02:59:10.895
development work going on in
the city but you know the

02:59:13.999 --> 02:59:16.500
initial money will be used for
acquisition that spends down a
portion of the money from the

02:59:17.603 --> 02:59:19.970
state on an accelerated online
and we have plans and
permitting and soft cost that

02:59:21.973 --> 02:59:23.973
will also but that eight month

02:59:26.179 --> 02:59:28.913
timeline and I know kerrie and
will crew are aware of these
projects but I think what we

02:59:30.215 --> 02:59:31.916
would also like to have is to
make sure that the city is

02:59:33.452 --> 02:59:35.953
understanding of our timelines
and make sure we are getting
the attention to get the

02:59:37.556 --> 02:59:39.390
permitting and get a full of
plans and get a contractor.

02:59:39.591 --> 02:59:41.591
So I think that is on our minds

02:59:42.261 --> 02:59:44.290
so I would just again and we're
very supportive of all the fine

02:59:46.298 --> 02:59:48.200
work and I think we do want to
do more that I think if we look

02:59:49.668 --> 02:59:52.136
at mathematically the one point
four or five billion should
bring thirty million dollars to

02:59:53.539 --> 02:59:55.539
san joaquin county per capita.

02:59:56.542 --> 02:59:58.843
So I think that this gets us 19
million dollars.
The housing authority will have

03:00:00.345 --> 03:00:02.580
about eleven million dollars
max.
So if you take this with

03:00:04.182 --> 03:00:06.518
operating this is really a 36
million dollar project but
we're proud of it.

03:00:08.186 --> 03:00:10.321
We appreciate the partnership
and you know, money that isn't

03:00:12.225 --> 03:00:14.225
spent in round one gets
reallocated statewide in
FEBRUARY.

03:00:16.270 --> 03:00:17.763
So to council member joe
brack's point that there's two

03:00:20.265 --> 03:00:21.899
issues one, we have to find
motels that are for sale.

03:00:24.537 --> 03:00:26.937
We have to find motels that
will point out meaning they
have amenities around schools,

03:00:29.700 --> 03:00:30.875
libraries, transit etc. But the
other thing is in many cases

03:00:32.144 --> 03:00:34.144
these these units have really

03:00:35.313 --> 03:00:37.416
have really developed residency
rights.
So from a standpoint of timing,

03:00:37.416 --> 03:00:39.416
one of the things we're going

03:00:40.218 --> 03:00:42.353
to have to consider if you have
to relocate people these deals
don't work.

03:00:43.355 --> 03:00:45.856
So I think we have to also be
intentional if there is really
an interest in doing more of

03:00:46.892 --> 03:00:48.592
these units is maybe taking
down properties is match and

03:00:50.328 --> 03:00:52.730
then doing an anticipated
relocation of people slowly
can't displace people.

03:00:54.766 --> 03:00:56.834
Everybody understands that.
But if we really want to have a

03:01:02.408 --> 03:01:04.408
conversation around being ready

03:01:16.622 --> 03:01:18.957
for this time next year, I
think in some cases we really
need to identify properties and

03:01:18.957 --> 03:01:21.600
buy them ahead of time so that
we're competitive just
something to think about so
thank you.

03:01:21.600 --> 03:01:23.195
Thank you.
What I appreciate about this
project so they're they're an

03:01:23.195 --> 03:01:25.330
investment into our community
but not only are they an
investment to our community,

03:01:25.330 --> 03:01:27.598
they're a tremendous investment
into the future of our city and
that's our youth.

03:01:29.768 --> 03:01:31.837
so this is ownership.
This is moving the needle and

03:01:34.720 --> 03:01:36.720
thank you for everyone's

03:01:37.910 --> 03:01:40.712
collaborative efforts here.
So are we ready for the vote?
Yeah, I think so.

03:01:41.247 --> 03:01:43.914
We have to make a motion for
both.
I'll make the motion for
fifteen point three seconds.

03:01:45.617 --> 03:01:47.617
Ok, cast your vote for the

03:01:52.580 --> 03:01:54.759
second one right
motion passes
seven zero motion four fifty

03:01:56.629 --> 03:01:58.396
four four fifteen point four
I'll second place more pressure

03:02:01.967 --> 03:02:03.967
votes please motion pass me

03:02:06.872 --> 03:02:08.272
seven zero.
Thank you.

03:02:10.777 --> 03:02:13.144
I did ten point five reproval
with homelessness concept
statement to be presented to

03:02:15.314 --> 03:02:16.947
the saudi king county for one
time capital outlay grant

03:02:19.184 --> 03:02:21.184
stafford to present carey

03:02:22.621 --> 03:02:24.288
wright director of economic
development here again to

03:02:26.958 --> 03:02:29.326
discuss the and asked council
to approve a homelessness
concept statement to be

03:02:31.263 --> 03:02:33.131
presented san joaquin county
for a one time capital outlay

03:02:34.700 --> 03:02:36.567
grant staff has been made aware
of the opportunity to apply for

03:02:38.538 --> 03:02:40.538
six point five million dollars

03:02:41.808 --> 03:02:43.808
to support low barrier shelter

03:02:46.780 --> 03:02:48.780
with a city's response and

03:02:49.881 --> 03:02:51.649
request is that we lay out a
process that is understood for

03:02:54.286 --> 03:02:56.354
all I submit that information
to the county so that we can

03:02:58.658 --> 03:02:59.957
all green light ahead to pursue
this.

03:03:02.127 --> 03:03:04.428
So to meet the parameters set
by the county and the
information that has been

03:03:06.598 --> 03:03:08.333
provided the city would issue a
notice of funding availability

03:03:10.102 --> 03:03:12.303
to solicit proposals from
entities who have the
capability to create and

03:03:14.400 --> 03:03:15.940
maintain low barrier shelter.
This would add to our shelter

03:03:18.376 --> 03:03:20.679
bed stock which many cities do
not have.
So this is this is additional

03:03:22.447 --> 03:03:24.215
beds proposals would need to
include background information,

03:03:26.251 --> 03:03:27.985
project overview timeline for
implementation, number of new

03:03:29.988 --> 03:03:32.890
beds created budget detail and
qualifications.
This was in the information
that we received from the

03:03:33.925 --> 03:03:35.760
county.
The novoa would include

03:03:38.230 --> 03:03:40.731
information the six point five
million in capital outlay funds
would be available from the

03:03:42.601 --> 03:03:44.301
county if their project was
selected and approved by the

03:03:46.539 --> 03:03:48.239
county as well as we would be
including the three point six

03:03:49.875 --> 03:03:52.444
million dollars of american
rescue plan act funds that were
approved in SEPTEMBER by

03:03:54.646 --> 03:03:56.646
council for this effort of low

03:03:58.117 --> 03:04:00.518
barrier bed creation.
It would help with the
operations which is another

03:04:02.655 --> 03:04:04.423
requirement the county had of
the city that the six point

03:04:05.258 --> 03:04:07.158
five was available.
If we could provide operating

03:04:09.362 --> 03:04:11.960
funds or someone could provide
them I assume that's us.

03:04:13.565 --> 03:04:15.332
So we're looking for the
council to approve a resolution

03:04:17.570 --> 03:04:19.303
that the homeless concept
statement that you see in the

03:04:21.273 --> 03:04:23.541
staff report be presented to
the san joaquin county
administrator for feedback

03:04:25.544 --> 03:04:27.179
prior to submission of a one
time capital outlay grant

03:04:28.947 --> 03:04:30.681
application where the process
outlined we go through the

03:04:33.510 --> 03:04:35.219
process, we submit the results
.
The results would go through

03:04:37.689 --> 03:04:40.910
you first and then over to the
county and then this would
approve the authorize the city

03:04:41.693 --> 03:04:44.290
manager designee need to then
submit the concept statement to
the san joaquin county

03:04:45.130 --> 03:04:47.932
administrator.
So that's the sum total.
Just want to make sure that

03:04:49.100 --> 03:04:50.301
we're very clear on process
quick.

03:04:52.270 --> 03:04:54.400
Do we have any public comments
?
We do not.

03:04:56.308 --> 03:04:59.100
Mayor gray, um, council member
joe burke, thank you.
This is a conversation how the

03:05:00.378 --> 03:05:03.115
city manager last night was.
I feel like the relay the
conversations we've been having

03:05:04.649 --> 03:05:07.184
with the county, we just keep
kicking the tire.
I feel like we're all on the

03:05:08.121 --> 03:05:10.121
same page like as far as what

03:05:11.423 --> 03:05:13.191
we'd like to see so I would
kind of advocate and I don't

03:05:15.260 --> 03:05:17.895
know like staff would support
us but advocate for us to kind
of pivot a little bit on this

03:05:19.431 --> 03:05:22.660
and we know that half million
dollars on the table we know
that there's three point four

03:05:23.902 --> 03:05:26.171
million or three point six
million that we're going to be
putting.
I'd like to see us just jump to

03:05:26.171 --> 03:05:28.607
the no.
Four stage and then present the

03:05:28.607 --> 03:05:30.607
project dependent upon approval

03:05:31.644 --> 03:05:33.378
of the board and then it's
present that I feel that by

03:05:35.280 --> 03:05:37.149
doing that we probably get
three to six months ahead of

03:05:39.351 --> 03:05:41.886
the curve versus I think if we
started going back and forth at
the ceo and the county it's

03:05:42.522 --> 03:05:44.355
going to set us out at least
another quarter and I kind of

03:05:46.858 --> 03:05:48.626
think we all all know what the
board is seeking and what we're

03:05:49.795 --> 03:05:51.795
trying to push so I think we'll

03:05:56.568 --> 03:05:58.638
have the same outcome I can
excuse me that that also does

03:05:58.638 --> 03:06:00.638
would make sense.

03:06:02.400 --> 03:06:03.541
I mean we can we can pivot and
do that as well.

03:06:04.876 --> 03:06:06.876
I mean that's my correct on

03:06:08.447 --> 03:06:10.381
that timeline like is that
sound like that it would save

03:06:12.284 --> 03:06:14.219
us at least a quarter we don't
we don't you know don't know

03:06:16.522 --> 03:06:18.456
until you engage that process.
But you know there's more than

03:06:20.559 --> 03:06:22.678
one way to do this.
This is just one recommended
way.

03:06:24.296 --> 03:06:26.330
But what you're suggesting what
would be just as viable of an

03:06:28.901 --> 03:06:30.768
approach and I don't want to
put a director right out there

03:06:31.603 --> 03:06:34.171
would we?
I know your resources are
strapped if we got ahead of

03:06:35.975 --> 03:06:37.743
this and did this is this
something that your staff like

03:06:40.110 --> 03:06:41.412
adding to it, if I MAY?
Absolutely.

03:06:44.516 --> 03:06:46.484
Um, I would like some clarity
to to be assured that we don't

03:06:47.419 --> 03:06:49.419
go through the process and then

03:06:50.889 --> 03:06:53.580
we're we're then it dissipates.
I don't want to do the work

03:06:54.727 --> 03:06:56.495
honestly unless we're clear
from the county administrator

03:06:58.431 --> 03:07:01.310
that ok, this is accepted
process because I don't know
what the expectations were in

03:07:03.535 --> 03:07:06.337
terms of the grant and you
know, it's submit a proposal,
ok, we're just trying to run as

03:07:07.506 --> 03:07:09.574
a six mlinar check is kind of
how I took it and I was that's

03:07:10.810 --> 03:07:13.278
that'd be great.
Excuse me.
Yeah, I don't think there's

03:07:15.460 --> 03:07:16.747
much other than they just want
to support a project that is

03:07:18.583 --> 03:07:20.452
true too but there's another
component to this that I want

03:07:22.388 --> 03:07:24.221
to raise that's different from
what you're raising because

03:07:25.957 --> 03:07:28.593
director wright also makes a
good point as well.
You can sort of go back and

03:07:30.362 --> 03:07:32.362
forth this is another set and

03:07:34.333 --> 03:07:36.734
that's is they're not going to
give us a six and a half
million dollar check.

03:07:37.502 --> 03:07:39.770
They've got a cost or an
expense reimbursement
requirement associated with

03:07:41.841 --> 03:07:43.841
this money which I think will

03:07:45.545 --> 03:07:47.411
create another challenge that
that we will need to discuss as

03:07:49.282 --> 03:07:51.282
a city in terms of how we would

03:07:52.584 --> 03:07:54.351
approach it in terms of a
workaround to that requirement.

03:07:56.288 --> 03:07:58.890
But that's that's different
from what you're raising.

03:08:00.792 --> 03:08:02.792
So I think we should finish

03:08:03.762 --> 03:08:05.796
with your thoughts and then we
can move to another element of

03:08:08.266 --> 03:08:09.967
this whole scenario and I get
what director wright saying.

03:08:12.237 --> 03:08:13.971
I just have this feeling that
we just bring a project that

03:08:15.607 --> 03:08:17.708
supports homelessness.
I have a hard time thinking

03:08:19.979 --> 03:08:22.460
it's got to be really narrow in
scope.
I think that they're going to

03:08:24.117 --> 03:08:26.417
be pretty broad to supporting
anything just to get there in
the same situation.

03:08:27.180 --> 03:08:29.854
I think those are everyone
wants to spend their rpa funds.
I think they just want to get

03:08:31.423 --> 03:08:32.890
the funds out the door and get
them committed.

03:08:34.659 --> 03:08:37.328
So and it seemed like that
after they supported the lodi
project when the tracy project

03:08:39.164 --> 03:08:41.164
what this just send us

03:08:41.867 --> 03:08:44.340
something and so I at least
that's what I think if I

03:08:47.506 --> 03:08:49.173
clarification they're not using
arpit funds for this year.

03:08:51.243 --> 03:08:53.243
No no they have they are

03:08:53.812 --> 03:08:56.181
capital this is related to the
public.
no I'm sorry this is I don't

03:08:58.851 --> 03:09:01.353
have the exact terminology but
you would know because you deal
with this every day there's

03:09:03.588 --> 03:09:05.588
something they get from

03:09:05.824 --> 03:09:07.658
delinquent property tax
accounts, the interest or

03:09:09.796 --> 03:09:11.695
whatever the penalties go into
a fund and it accumulates and

03:09:14.267 --> 03:09:17.201
builds up over years and that's
the source of the money that
they're used.
I misspoke.

03:09:17.903 --> 03:09:20.380
Yeah, for some reason yeah.
Yeah.
All around the it's not a

03:09:20.380 --> 03:09:22.380
hair's timing so I thought it

03:09:22.809 --> 03:09:24.809
was out but yeah my and if

03:09:25.277 --> 03:09:27.512
there's restrictions around the
funds those types of things we
want to make sure they're just
very clear.

03:09:27.512 --> 03:09:29.512
Yeah.

03:09:29.582 --> 03:09:31.349
If if that's the case and
they're not going to take that

03:09:33.180 --> 03:09:34.552
long to do this right.
Yeah yeah.

03:09:36.922 --> 03:09:38.922
I mean I like I said you know

03:09:39.991 --> 03:09:41.827
you could debate approach back
and forth however where you

03:09:44.864 --> 03:09:46.631
want to do it but I do if you
all feel comfortable like this

03:09:48.301 --> 03:09:50.680
can be done in four to six
weeks and come back to us I

03:09:52.371 --> 03:09:55.206
can't say that not for four to
six weeks.
I just don't know.
It's an animal that that's

03:09:55.540 --> 03:09:57.308
that's 800 pound gorilla but
and that's that's the part of

03:09:59.479 --> 03:10:01.246
the problem as well or the
situation is key is the longer

03:10:02.882 --> 03:10:04.649
that it would take would
basically bear out what her

03:10:07.190 --> 03:10:09.553
concerns are about going ahead
and doing the work and then
presenting something to them if

03:10:11.323 --> 03:10:13.323
we can't even get concurrence

03:10:14.460 --> 03:10:16.327
on a concept, her office is
going to take, you know, three

03:10:18.497 --> 03:10:20.931
to four months, put together a
no for and go through that
process and then we submit

03:10:21.934 --> 03:10:23.934
something.
It goes nowhere then that's

03:10:26.371 --> 03:10:28.806
taking time from her and her
resources in terms of all these
other things that they're

03:10:30.342 --> 03:10:32.412
working on as well on.
There's another thing like that
you're you're pushing up

03:10:32.412 --> 03:10:34.412
against that I'm a little

03:10:34.446 --> 03:10:36.147
nervous about when you say
three, four months now we're

03:10:37.683 --> 03:10:40.185
talking about a new fiscal year
which presents a whole
different set of challenges if

03:10:42.454 --> 03:10:44.454
we're trying to get projects to

03:10:45.560 --> 03:10:47.393
them and when they're right in
FEBRUARY they're going to be
around the middle of trying to

03:10:47.393 --> 03:10:50.194
get their budget put together.
We're going to get put on the

03:10:50.262 --> 03:10:52.262
back burner if I make again the

03:10:53.632 --> 03:10:55.834
funding source is not their
general fund.
This is no I just mean they're

03:10:56.968 --> 03:10:59.703
going to be busy every
department that is going to be
busy from FEBRUARY through JUNE

03:11:00.939 --> 03:11:03.274
30th.
So just like you guys would be

03:11:04.109 --> 03:11:06.844
right.
Thank you.
Um, so just this would be

03:11:09.614 --> 03:11:12.160
simply getting the approval to
make sure that we're on the
same page because we haven't

03:11:12.717 --> 03:11:15.654
we're not always on the same
page.
That's not going to take long.
The part that's going to take

03:11:16.455 --> 03:11:19.570
long is building the sofa.
Ok and we have a few other
projects that council's

03:11:24.300 --> 03:11:26.300
requested

03:11:37.809 --> 03:11:39.945
um ahead of this.
So I think the staff report
said the first quarter would be

03:11:39.945 --> 03:11:41.981
the hope, right?
not absolutely.
If I if I could visit the other

03:11:41.981 --> 03:11:44.820
element of this that I I
brought up earlier, I think
what we're going to encounter

03:11:44.820 --> 03:11:45.783
when we do the ofa you know,
being optimistic that we're

03:11:46.850 --> 03:11:47.952
going to get to that point the
entities that would be applying

03:11:49.788 --> 03:11:51.788
for this or submitting

03:11:53.580 --> 03:11:55.580
proposals for this funding,

03:11:57.562 --> 03:11:59.498
they're not cashflow rich.
They're not capital access

03:12:01.566 --> 03:12:03.566
strong.

03:12:04.636 --> 03:12:06.370
This is a expense reimbursement
model that the county is

03:12:08.440 --> 03:12:09.975
basically saying that would be
applicable to this.

03:12:12.944 --> 03:12:14.446
So nothing that would need to
be decided today.

03:12:16.181 --> 03:12:18.315
But at the time that we bring
is novas to you, we're going to

03:12:20.186 --> 03:12:22.453
need an option.
We MAY very well have to front

03:12:24.790 --> 03:12:26.790
this money for these entities

03:12:27.726 --> 03:12:30.561
and then seek reimbursement as
a city back to the county which
we could do utilize our funds

03:12:32.650 --> 03:12:34.465
for I would think because we
have to yeah.
Or some other or some other

03:12:36.235 --> 03:12:38.969
source or some of the I just
wanted to throw that out there
so that if we come back to you

03:12:40.373 --> 03:12:42.874
it's not a surprise I guess but
it sounds like three to four
months for an over to go out

03:12:44.142 --> 03:12:45.877
there but in APRIL yeah
probably six six to eight weeks

03:12:47.879 --> 03:12:49.548
to review those and then decide
probably what twelve weeks

03:12:51.783 --> 03:12:54.318
after that for an award.
So we're looking at SEPTEMBER
OCTOBER before even something

03:12:54.619 --> 03:12:56.619
would be awarded.

03:12:59.224 --> 03:13:00.958
There are 14 other initiatives
ahead of this in arpa.

03:13:03.129 --> 03:13:05.830
So we are creating a master
project list which I am sure
you will see when it's

03:13:07.199 --> 03:13:08.899
completed and at that time of
things need to be adjusted.

03:13:10.335 --> 03:13:12.570
But yes, this is going to be
overnight thing.
Yeah, that's a.

03:13:15.400 --> 03:13:16.340
I know we're prioritizing just
this.

03:13:18.810 --> 03:13:20.177
Yeah, we're all prioritizing so
I get it.

03:13:23.415 --> 03:13:25.415
Appreciate we really do recall

03:13:25.985 --> 03:13:27.985
um the feedback that we

03:13:29.355 --> 03:13:30.955
received from the county
administrator regarding

03:13:33.860 --> 03:13:35.560
timeline and projects and um
they were lisco aspect they

03:13:37.563 --> 03:13:39.563
were looking to receive

03:13:40.832 --> 03:13:43.000
something from us uh project
from us somewhere close to
JANUARY.

03:13:45.270 --> 03:13:47.400
We're not going to make that so
we're going to need to reach

03:13:52.744 --> 03:13:54.744
out to them and so because our

03:13:59.252 --> 03:14:01.252
experience has been sort of

03:14:03.588 --> 03:14:05.588
zigzaggy with interacting with

03:14:10.496 --> 03:14:12.631
our county partners and that
we're dealing with a tight
time.

03:14:15.434 --> 03:14:17.690
What a tight window.
I don't know.

03:14:19.138 --> 03:14:20.839
It MAY it MAY make more sense
to to follow COUNCILMAN Joe

03:14:23.750 --> 03:14:25.420
brax approach to go ahead and
do the nova send something
over.

03:14:27.112 --> 03:14:29.112
They accept or they just don't

03:14:30.515 --> 03:14:32.650
accept it and we move on.
Yeah, because I actually you

03:14:38.290 --> 03:14:40.659
know, I was going to get in the
mix with everything else that
that that we're doing.

03:14:42.360 --> 03:14:43.662
I mean but this is not the end
of it.

03:14:44.763 --> 03:14:47.264
I mean they're going to be
multiple other things that are
coming down the pike that that

03:14:48.934 --> 03:14:51.100
we're going to have to find
ways to to do and deal with it

03:14:53.172 --> 03:14:55.372
because we're not going to say
no to money.
We're just going to have to

03:14:56.608 --> 03:14:58.776
figure it out.
But but what's important is for

03:15:00.345 --> 03:15:02.345
you all to be supersensitive to

03:15:04.350 --> 03:15:06.350
the pressure not only are we

03:15:08.190 --> 03:15:09.754
managing this with economic
development, we have a

03:15:12.225 --> 03:15:13.959
corresponding level of pressure
with public works and other

03:15:15.827 --> 03:15:17.827
things.

03:15:19.699 --> 03:15:22.534
So we're going to do everything
but it's not going to happen as
fast as you might like it to

03:15:23.702 --> 03:15:25.436
happen because we're juggling
twenty thirty ultimately forty

03:15:27.773 --> 03:15:29.773
to fifty things at the same

03:15:31.611 --> 03:15:33.445
time with the same people we're
augmenting staff with with

03:15:38.550 --> 03:15:40.118
we're pursuing temporary uh
employment scenarios.

03:15:41.721 --> 03:15:43.555
We're looking at staff
augmentation contracts but as

03:15:46.225 --> 03:15:47.993
director wright mentioned
earlier, everybody else is

03:15:50.662 --> 03:15:52.640
doing the same thing.
Mm.

03:15:55.635 --> 03:15:57.635
You know so but again it'll get

03:16:02.274 --> 03:16:04.274
done uh for me you know which

03:16:06.378 --> 03:16:08.450
is why I'm sort of I can go
either way but I do see

03:16:09.915 --> 03:16:12.490
COUNCILMAN Joe breck's thinking
on this because when I am

03:16:14.453 --> 03:16:16.187
engaging the county I'm going
to have to have direct write

03:16:18.391 --> 03:16:20.240
with me so now she's not
leading and directing and

03:16:22.360 --> 03:16:24.229
managing getting work done.
You see what I'm saying?

03:16:29.935 --> 03:16:31.935
So that's the risk of of of a

03:16:33.706 --> 03:16:35.774
more collegial front end piece
.
So I MAY very well just want to

03:16:35.774 --> 03:16:37.776
just go ahead and just go
straight to a no for and just

03:16:37.776 --> 03:16:39.776
get it over with.

03:16:41.146 --> 03:16:43.146
Not opposed to that and we'll

03:16:45.217 --> 03:16:47.284
just have we'll find ways to
you know we we have a very

03:16:49.154 --> 03:16:52.220
creative team.
We have a very innovative team
and we're just going to have to

03:16:53.358 --> 03:16:55.920
be more creative, more
innovative in terms of how we

03:16:57.620 --> 03:16:58.796
get stuff done.
But don't worry.

03:17:04.103 --> 03:17:06.700
I got you I think about don't
do that.
Don't do that.

03:17:09.400 --> 03:17:11.400
Uh, so my question is so this

03:17:12.811 --> 03:17:14.811
is whether we do the nova four

03:17:15.881 --> 03:17:17.881
year post um so two hundred

03:17:20.850 --> 03:17:22.850
beds would that be for three to

03:17:23.355 --> 03:17:25.355
five years three yes.

03:17:26.958 --> 03:17:28.994
Ok and the three point six
million is four on them for

03:17:30.762 --> 03:17:32.229
that three to five years so
operating yeah.

03:17:35.267 --> 03:17:37.868
Yeah and not maintenance of the
building what we could be for
that.
Yes you're right.

03:17:39.605 --> 03:17:41.605
Ok well I ask because I mean

03:17:42.608 --> 03:17:44.376
that's well that's three years
that's one point two million a

03:17:48.460 --> 03:17:50.140
year for two hundred beds.
I'm just trying to make sure

03:17:50.783 --> 03:17:52.483
pencils out I have done no work
to make sure pencils out we

03:17:54.386 --> 03:17:56.855
have all the research we've
been doing in the past.
Someone else is going to do

03:17:56.855 --> 03:17:59.457
that work for us when they
propose it.

03:18:02.461 --> 03:18:04.328
Yeah to be honest I said I just
want to make sure that we can

03:18:06.598 --> 03:18:08.598
we can deliver um because going

03:18:10.435 --> 03:18:12.136
to the SEPTEMBER meeting where
we have thirteen point five

03:18:13.338 --> 03:18:15.720
allocated for homeless and
housing and tonight with this

03:18:18.276 --> 03:18:20.100
and the two previous items
that's more than eleven and a

03:18:21.613 --> 03:18:23.447
half which is about one point
eight million left for all the

03:18:25.717 --> 03:18:27.717
other things ten ten percent

03:18:29.187 --> 03:18:31.187
contingency reserve.

03:18:33.692 --> 03:18:35.392
Ok well even still I just I I
want us to see it through.

03:18:37.329 --> 03:18:39.329
Yeah I want to I don't want to

03:18:40.600 --> 03:18:43.134
fall flat on our face is
basically what I'm saying.
i don't want to then say after

03:18:44.303 --> 03:18:46.805
a year well the money's right
and I don't want to leave money
on the table either.

03:18:49.208 --> 03:18:51.208
I want to spend it and I want

03:18:52.478 --> 03:18:54.312
to acquire it and spend and get
people off the street and into

03:18:56.616 --> 03:18:58.616
this low barrier no barrier

03:19:00.720 --> 03:19:02.453
housing because it is it's not
getting any better every day.

03:19:04.656 --> 03:19:06.323
So I'm in support of going
after this money from the

03:19:08.460 --> 03:19:10.328
county one thousand percent I
know there's no such thing but

03:19:12.497 --> 03:19:14.310
I'm I'm I'm definitely behind
that all the way.

03:19:17.200 --> 03:19:18.769
I just again want to make sure
that we can deliver on on what

03:19:20.272 --> 03:19:22.307
we're proposing here with two
hundred beds and you have at

03:19:24.310 --> 03:19:26.780
least one person per bed so
that's four hundred people.

03:19:29.448 --> 03:19:31.448
I mean it's to our people but

03:19:31.616 --> 03:19:33.170
they're going to be more so
yeah.

03:19:35.720 --> 03:19:38.122
So if I mean they're just
thinking about this more just
from a risk management

03:19:39.992 --> 03:19:41.725
standpoint I would recommend
that you support COUNCILMAN Joe

03:19:43.695 --> 03:19:45.695
brack's recommendation.

03:19:48.500 --> 03:19:50.234
I think that will present a
path of least resistance and

03:19:55.742 --> 03:19:57.808
will creatively figure it out.
Yeah, we will.
We will.

03:19:59.100 --> 03:20:01.100
I got council member warmsley.

03:20:02.614 --> 03:20:04.682
Thank you mayor.
You signed with the with the

03:20:06.919 --> 03:20:08.353
project the process and the
journey here.

03:20:11.220 --> 03:20:13.220
But also I can not think about

03:20:14.693 --> 03:20:16.761
the demographics.
I cannot not think about the

03:20:18.830 --> 03:20:20.865
mental health component.
I cannot not think about the

03:20:22.702 --> 03:20:24.702
substance abuse component.

03:20:25.771 --> 03:20:27.605
I cannot not think about the
health care or the lack of

03:20:30.675 --> 03:20:32.244
health care access in this
vulnerable community.

03:20:33.846 --> 03:20:35.813
So as we're talking about
concepts, are we only talking

03:20:37.683 --> 03:20:39.683
about beds and this is because

03:20:41.754 --> 03:20:43.522
on any given night folks aren't
even accessing the beds that

03:20:44.757 --> 03:20:46.757
are available?

03:20:49.562 --> 03:20:51.562
Uh, what we are thinking about

03:20:53.366 --> 03:20:55.366
is developing a no for that

03:20:56.935 --> 03:20:58.602
that is more performance based
outcomes and results based.

03:21:01.390 --> 03:21:03.908
We're not going to tell people
how to do it or what to do with
say this is what we're trying

03:21:05.678 --> 03:21:07.412
to achieve and we can factor
those kinds of elements into

03:21:09.820 --> 03:21:11.820
that scope of work.

03:21:12.651 --> 03:21:14.285
That's what the three point
five six is for.

03:21:16.522 --> 03:21:18.355
It's not only is for
operational support which would

03:21:20.459 --> 03:21:22.259
also not preclude programmatic
support which is what you're

03:21:24.960 --> 03:21:26.697
talking.
So all of that would be
factored into the no effort

03:21:28.567 --> 03:21:30.268
just so that we're clear in
understanding the population

03:21:31.970 --> 03:21:33.970
that we're trying to get

03:21:35.540 --> 03:21:37.709
sheltered here because I think
that it's a waste of money just

03:21:40.178 --> 03:21:42.178
to get beds and not have the

03:21:47.850 --> 03:21:49.850
folks fill it in which has been

03:22:01.801 --> 03:22:04.700
most problematic um in this
journey.
So um, we also in councilor

03:22:04.700 --> 03:22:06.138
proved last year and I know you
know, there's there's three
things it takes to move the

03:22:06.138 --> 03:22:08.875
dial on homelessness funding
which for the first grant we
have time which none of you
want to hear about.

03:22:08.875 --> 03:22:11.276
I understand and focus here so
I get that.
But just as we do have one
hundred and eighty bed

03:22:11.276 --> 03:22:13.276
expansion with navigation

03:22:14.212 --> 03:22:16.130
services coming online, I know
it's not in the timeline that

03:22:18.150 --> 03:22:19.884
everyone wanted but it cargoes
are cargo containers are

03:22:22.587 --> 03:22:24.321
ordered it is proceeding and I
know everyone's frustrated we

03:22:26.526 --> 03:22:28.292
have had money on the street
for less than a year and we've

03:22:30.362 --> 03:22:31.662
done this amazing amount of
work.

03:22:34.166 --> 03:22:36.233
We have access to health care,
behavioral health and st
mary's.

03:22:37.869 --> 03:22:40.605
They run basically an access
center which I don't know maybe
because it's called st mary's

03:22:41.206 --> 03:22:43.909
dining.
Nobody seems to understand
that.
So there are resources

03:22:45.744 --> 03:22:47.511
available so yes, if we're
going to create more beds it

03:22:49.315 --> 03:22:51.783
needs to come with services.
You're not really doing anyone
any good.
Yeah.

03:22:53.251 --> 03:22:56.200
And I'm sorry.
You know, I don't want to be
the debbie downer but going

03:22:57.722 --> 03:22:59.824
down airport every day on the
on my way home and looking at a

03:23:04.930 --> 03:23:07.732
mormon's I'm mortified and so
sometimes I have to close my
eyes because I want to look

03:23:10.350 --> 03:23:11.902
down there because it is real
and so I just want to make sure

03:23:13.371 --> 03:23:15.371
that we're very intentional and

03:23:17.275 --> 03:23:18.676
specific to what we are trying
to address.

03:23:24.182 --> 03:23:26.251
I appreciate that countermelody
work and I would say I hope

03:23:28.320 --> 03:23:30.888
someday you're recognized for
what you and your staff are
doing because I think I'm not

03:23:32.692 --> 03:23:34.358
trying to discredit you and I
do appreciate and recognize

03:23:37.620 --> 03:23:38.829
that time is is limited and the
only reason I'm even mentioning

03:23:40.465 --> 03:23:42.334
this is an alternative is
because I just feel like we'd

03:23:44.102 --> 03:23:45.736
end up with the same outcome
from the beginning.

03:23:48.306 --> 03:23:50.441
so like I said, I truly someday
you're an award will be given
out.

03:23:52.845 --> 03:23:55.246
The director for her work in
what she did with stockton
because you what you've done

03:23:57.160 --> 03:23:59.160
with in this timeline is has

03:24:00.886 --> 03:24:02.620
been impressive and to address
vice mayor and council member

03:24:04.900 --> 03:24:05.656
wamsley's comments I think like
I totally hear you.

03:24:07.993 --> 03:24:09.760
I think that we you I we all
want to probably the pencil out

03:24:11.631 --> 03:24:14.660
but we're not going to know
whether there's there's truth
to that until the notice goes

03:24:15.400 --> 03:24:18.236
out and projects come in.
So and the quicker we know if
it gets out we recognize

03:24:19.938 --> 03:24:21.938
whether the project will happen

03:24:22.707 --> 03:24:25.277
or not and that and that MAY be
and I think that's part of her
director rights concerns is

03:24:27.346 --> 03:24:29.213
that she does this work and we
get a few proposals and they

03:24:31.183 --> 03:24:32.917
don't pencil out and she puts
months of labor into something

03:24:34.619 --> 03:24:36.620
that doesn't happen.
So and even to council member

03:24:37.757 --> 03:24:40.357
warmsley concerns I think one
of the biggest issues at least
since I've been on the council

03:24:42.761 --> 03:24:44.595
with the utilization of our
current shelters has been the

03:24:46.399 --> 03:24:48.166
um the term the low barrier
term and I think that it has

03:24:51.360 --> 03:24:53.360
been a priority of staff and of

03:24:54.740 --> 03:24:57.700
this council that any any
projects that we're supporting
be low barrier.

03:24:57.776 --> 03:24:59.577
And I think that that is will
hopefully lead to more

03:25:02.647 --> 03:25:04.749
utilization of these upcoming
beds.
So I said the quicker than if

03:25:05.984 --> 03:25:08.386
it goes out the quicker a lot
of answers and I think that's
what we're seeking.

03:25:10.656 --> 03:25:12.656
Councilor, um, I agree with you

03:25:13.859 --> 03:25:16.327
that the homeless shelter is
moving ahead now with the one
point two million they bought

03:25:18.131 --> 03:25:20.298
the containers and they're on
their way.
So that's great great news.

03:25:21.534 --> 03:25:23.702
The thing that kind of alarms
me is up to that's kind of a

03:25:26.104 --> 03:25:27.872
big number between one and two
hundred and I think that's what

03:25:29.742 --> 03:25:32.376
needs to be clarified too
because I mean we were looking
at some of those I mean that

03:25:33.146 --> 03:25:35.746
they had the eden hotel that
they wanted to do the same
thing where they were ready to

03:25:37.617 --> 03:25:39.718
go and had a project so that
would obviously open the door
for them.

03:25:41.421 --> 03:25:43.187
But I mean and we need to
decide how many actually up to

03:25:45.323 --> 03:25:47.825
two hundred because that's
that's kind of a tall order.
Two hundred beds with that

03:25:49.394 --> 03:25:50.861
amount of money I think is the
concern for me.

03:25:53.231 --> 03:25:55.933
So I mean is that going to nip
it if we do the no by then and
see what's out there and

03:25:57.136 --> 03:25:59.136
whether somebody has and then

03:26:00.739 --> 03:26:03.607
because I think that if you you
know, the number can be any any
number that you want it to be,

03:26:05.243 --> 03:26:06.911
we just came up with 200
because up to 200 because

03:26:08.547 --> 03:26:10.547
that's been the the range of

03:26:12.350 --> 03:26:14.850
numbers that I've been hearing
in various conversations but it

03:26:16.388 --> 03:26:18.122
doesn't have to be that number
with with this.
No.

03:26:19.158 --> 03:26:21.250
You're going to have you could
end up with one awardee or you

03:26:22.694 --> 03:26:25.630
could end up with multiple
wards.
It depends upon how creative

03:26:27.333 --> 03:26:28.966
the proposals are and what
they're proposing and how

03:26:30.737 --> 03:26:32.737
they're how they're proposing

03:26:35.307 --> 03:26:37.740
to to generate the outcomes and
results that we're looking for.

03:26:39.277 --> 03:26:41.277
i suspect would be multiple

03:26:42.749 --> 03:26:44.749
awards from something like this

03:26:46.170 --> 03:26:48.686
but the number can be a
proposal is going to propose a
number that they know that they

03:26:50.623 --> 03:26:52.220
can deliver and we'll make that
very clear.

03:26:53.759 --> 03:26:55.793
You know, there MAY be a
proposal that says I can do

03:26:57.763 --> 03:26:59.697
another 25 load-bearing bids
that that could be say for

03:27:00.966 --> 03:27:03.634
instance some some entity like
the children's home.
You know, they're not going to

03:27:06.639 --> 03:27:08.407
do 100 is they're not going to
they can say well we want to

03:27:09.174 --> 03:27:11.900
we've got a capital project
that we'd like to pursue that

03:27:12.778 --> 03:27:14.778
could generate an additional

03:27:16.848 --> 03:27:18.850
twenty bids for at risk youth
or it could be something else.

03:27:18.985 --> 03:27:20.985
Would we just want it to be

03:27:21.453 --> 03:27:23.187
open and creative because
there's more than one way to

03:27:25.490 --> 03:27:27.490
solve the problem is really the

03:27:29.128 --> 03:27:31.729
message that we're conveying.
Thank you.
I think from a from a from a

03:27:33.398 --> 03:27:35.398
bid standpoint I just prompted

03:27:37.300 --> 03:27:38.737
me to look back at the
SEPTEMBER rpa funding approval

03:27:41.206 --> 03:27:43.400
in the council priority item
number four under homelessness

03:27:44.811 --> 03:27:46.243
and housing the low barrier
shelter beds.

03:27:48.881 --> 03:27:50.948
So what we approved in what
penso that I guess was one

03:27:52.584 --> 03:27:54.584
point eight million over two

03:27:56.456 --> 03:27:58.222
years um assisted out the
providers in adding one hundred

03:27:59.925 --> 03:28:01.860
to one hundred and twenty five
additional low barrier beds to

03:28:04.329 --> 03:28:06.163
the city's inventory.
So there's some inconsistencies

03:28:08.867 --> 03:28:11.702
with the 125 to 200.
I know we can still iron that
out.
I get that.

03:28:12.839 --> 03:28:14.639
But I think you know, for
consistency purposes we need to

03:28:16.441 --> 03:28:18.209
be aware of what we previously
approved in this space and what

03:28:19.878 --> 03:28:21.579
we set as a priority and kind
of pencil out moving forward

03:28:24.500 --> 03:28:25.716
from there if another if a no
for response and somebody

03:28:28.860 --> 03:28:29.988
response no fences what I could
do I can do two hundred or then

03:28:31.857 --> 03:28:33.958
we would welcome more beds of
course.
But I just want to make sure

03:28:35.361 --> 03:28:37.950
that we're prioritize we're
setting realistic expectations

03:28:39.564 --> 03:28:41.564
moving forward based on

03:28:43.340 --> 03:28:45.436
efficacy and and on those same
lines.
And the city manager alluded to

03:28:47.406 --> 03:28:48.739
youth being at edison high
school.

03:28:51.411 --> 03:28:53.411
We have dozens and dozens of

03:28:54.414 --> 03:28:56.380
homeless youth at our school,
some of them with one parent

03:28:59.451 --> 03:29:01.386
but with several siblings that
don't go to the shelter because

03:29:03.220 --> 03:29:05.220
of their age being separated.

03:29:07.250 --> 03:29:08.793
You know, depending on the
boy's age being put in the

03:29:11.663 --> 03:29:13.264
men's shelter, there's not
enough family shelter.

03:29:14.266 --> 03:29:16.867
So that's why this low barrier
shelter is so important.
And when I was thinking of

03:29:18.637 --> 03:29:20.637
beds, I'm thinking of putting

03:29:22.408 --> 03:29:24.543
siblings, you know, in in the
same in the same bed, you know,

03:29:26.145 --> 03:29:28.790
a whole family in a room or
partners or whatnot that's that

03:29:34.619 --> 03:29:36.619
key low barrier shelter and I'm

03:29:37.689 --> 03:29:39.356
happy about the stockton
shelter for the homeless.

03:29:41.593 --> 03:29:43.595
But again, that's for men.
We have we have way too many

03:29:47.365 --> 03:29:49.301
women and children out there
and they don't have any place

03:29:51.770 --> 03:29:53.770
to go.

03:29:56.410 --> 03:29:58.410
And so if we can get something

03:29:59.945 --> 03:30:01.679
I mean getting edison kids and
their families would fill up

03:30:03.749 --> 03:30:05.783
the space that's just one
school.
how many schools in our

03:30:06.552 --> 03:30:07.986
community have that same
situation?

03:30:11.156 --> 03:30:13.156
So I just I'm hoping that we

03:30:14.726 --> 03:30:16.726
have people that can provide

03:30:17.996 --> 03:30:19.996
some kind of shelter for all

03:30:21.600 --> 03:30:23.600
walks of life however they come

03:30:23.869 --> 03:30:25.869
to be able to have a warm bed

03:30:28.140 --> 03:30:30.140
to sleep and city attorney so

03:30:31.910 --> 03:30:33.911
how do we need you?
Well, what I would recommend

03:30:36.248 --> 03:30:38.248
that you do is you approve the

03:30:40.118 --> 03:30:42.118
matter as is the alternative to

03:30:43.688 --> 03:30:45.423
proceed in a different manner
including including some sort

03:30:46.993 --> 03:30:49.326
of a more detailed proposal at
the discretion of the city
manager because you don't

03:30:51.163 --> 03:30:52.730
really know exactly how it's
going to work out.

03:30:57.936 --> 03:31:00.638
But
it in the most expeditious
and effective way possible and

03:31:02.140 --> 03:31:04.140
it MAY be one of these

03:31:05.100 --> 03:31:07.545
approaches or some blend so I
think that way you're not
putting too much of a too much

03:31:09.181 --> 03:31:12.160
restrictions on what he's
doing.
Instead you're you're allowing
him to do what he thinks is

03:31:12.651 --> 03:31:14.651
best the kind of ambiguous and

03:31:16.421 --> 03:31:17.822
a little bit it definitely is
expediently.

03:31:19.691 --> 03:31:21.759
It definitely is ambiguous
though we call that we call

03:31:24.196 --> 03:31:26.196
that broad discretion.

03:31:27.800 --> 03:31:30.134
Oh yeah I I don't know
recommendations on how to make
that motion.

03:31:31.303 --> 03:31:33.370
I think go ahead.
Um I know that we proceed with

03:31:36.342 --> 03:31:38.342
the recommended nation with the

03:31:39.110 --> 03:31:40.811
amendment that we move directly
to notice the funding

03:31:43.483 --> 03:31:45.483
availability and the with the

03:31:46.786 --> 03:31:48.954
understanding that the city
manager is going to have to

03:31:51.523 --> 03:31:53.523
have some authority to craft

03:31:55.327 --> 03:31:57.327
this in the manner that the

03:31:58.997 --> 03:32:00.565
county requests like in that
capacity both police.

03:32:08.607 --> 03:32:10.607
Yeah, that's kind of

03:32:23.321 --> 03:32:25.321
yeah.

03:32:25.991 --> 03:32:28.859
I thank you.
Motion passes seven zero ok,
thank you.

03:32:29.528 --> 03:32:31.528
Before before we'll take a 10

03:32:36.569 --> 03:32:38.569
minute recess already

03:32:43.824 --> 03:32:45.824
oh no

03:34:03.137 --> 03:34:04.636
.
All right.

03:34:06.906 --> 03:34:08.906
Call back to order a ten point

03:34:10.578 --> 03:34:12.440
six appointment to stockton
port commission.

We do have a member of the

comment.

03:35:31.691 --> 03:35:33.691
Yes, hello, I'm oh thank you

03:35:35.463 --> 03:35:37.464
mayor and city council for
hearing me and thank you for
all you do to serve the city of

03:35:37.464 --> 03:35:39.464
stockton.

03:35:39.466 --> 03:35:42.102
it's much appreciated.
I know it's a hard job if it
pleases the council.

03:35:43.738 --> 03:35:45.370
My name is actually a licensed
civil engineer and land

03:35:47.740 --> 03:35:48.741
surveyor and a business owner
of a small civil engineering

03:35:50.778 --> 03:35:52.311
firm concentrated in data
reclamation works.

03:35:54.582 --> 03:35:56.349
Thank you for considering me to
represent the city of stockton

03:35:57.684 --> 03:35:59.684
as a commissioner to the

03:36:01.755 --> 03:36:04.289
stockton port district I grew
up in the economy always love
construction and engineering

03:36:06.392 --> 03:36:08.160
works to obtain my business
B.S. In civil engineering from

03:36:09.629 --> 03:36:11.629
northeastern university in

03:36:13.300 --> 03:36:15.667
boston in 1986 my professional
career began in the early
nineteen in the nineties

03:36:16.836 --> 03:36:18.570
working with large marine
construction companies, working

03:36:20.741 --> 03:36:22.708
with barges, dredges, tugboats
and the like in the delta in

03:36:24.778 --> 03:36:26.745
the bay area.
I love my work and I'm always

03:36:28.314 --> 03:36:30.616
in awe of pile driving dredging
earthwork ironwork work and
structural civil works

03:36:32.986 --> 03:36:34.720
basically anything you build.
During my marine construction

03:36:37.290 --> 03:36:39.124
tenure I constructed the bacon
island road bridge in the delta

03:36:40.161 --> 03:36:41.827
three piers and constructed six
ferry barges including the

03:36:44.640 --> 03:36:45.931
sausalito vallejo san francisco
ferry barges two of them in the

03:36:47.600 --> 03:36:49.735
pac bell park.
So if you've ever taken a ferry

03:36:51.604 --> 03:36:54.506
in san francisco to the barge
that you walk off, I probably
had something to do with it

03:36:56.420 --> 03:36:57.776
shortly after receiving my
professional engineers and land

03:36:59.913 --> 03:37:02.314
surveyors licenses in 1992 and
96, green green mountain
engineering was established and

03:37:04.185 --> 03:37:05.919
has performed over a hundred
million dollars of reclamation

03:37:07.787 --> 03:37:09.956
works in the central delta.
What I bring to stockton as a

03:37:11.191 --> 03:37:12.825
port commissioner is hands on
experience to assist the

03:37:15.950 --> 03:37:16.729
well-trained staff of the port
to strive for large

03:37:18.832 --> 03:37:20.699
infrastructure projects to
bring the port into the future.

03:37:22.569 --> 03:37:24.403
The federal deep water ship
channel was authorized in 1929

03:37:26.506 --> 03:37:28.341
because stockton was an ideal
location for an alternate

03:37:29.977 --> 03:37:32.780
transshipment facility to
compete with the ports of san
francisco.

03:37:34.314 --> 03:37:36.480
The advantages the advantages
of an inland port are more

03:37:38.351 --> 03:37:40.351
prevalent today as ever and the

03:37:41.755 --> 03:37:44.189
time is ripe to think big
because with the current
administration in washington dc

03:37:46.559 --> 03:37:48.260
the build back better plan will
infuse significant investment

03:37:49.963 --> 03:37:51.697
critical critical
infrastructure that is bigger

03:37:53.134 --> 03:37:54.700
than franklin delano
roosevelt's new deal.

03:37:57.871 --> 03:37:59.471
Ideally much of it will land in
california as the major

03:38:01.274 --> 03:38:03.800
california ports face major
challenges with bottlenecks of

03:38:04.978 --> 03:38:06.712
ships, trains and trucks
interrupting supply chains and

03:38:09.820 --> 03:38:11.150
it increases traffic and
emissions.
Probably the biggest

03:38:13.721 --> 03:38:15.387
opportunity for the port is to
to enhance california's to

03:38:17.724 --> 03:38:19.458
deepen the ship channel to
accommodate the larger panamax

03:38:21.428 --> 03:38:23.462
size container ships.
Although it is a difficult task

03:38:25.666 --> 03:38:27.434
to deepen and widen the channel
a clear vision of the multiple

03:38:29.403 --> 03:38:31.403
benefits that it could provide

03:38:32.238 --> 03:38:34.507
or substantial such as my
timer.
Yes.
Thank you again.

03:38:36.877 --> 03:38:38.577
Thank you for having me and i
appreciate your consideration

03:38:40.213 --> 03:38:42.213

million californians for all
youth workforce development

03:44:56.823 --> 03:44:59.920
grant stafford, florida present
.
Good evening.
Great kirkpatrick.

03:44:59.920 --> 03:45:01.395
I'm a program manager in the
city manager's office and I'm

03:45:01.395 --> 03:45:03.395
here tonight to talk about the

03:45:04.130 --> 03:45:06.398
californians for all youthworks
course development program so
jump right into it.

03:45:09.270 --> 03:45:11.404
Try to be brief already.
So this is a brand new program.

03:45:12.539 --> 03:45:14.940
It's a new initiative from the
governor's office that's being
implemented via california

03:45:16.910 --> 03:45:19.344
volunteers, which is an office
within the governor's office
and they received one hundred

03:45:24.251 --> 03:45:26.251
and fifty

03:45:38.132 --> 03:45:40.233
million dollars of
the state's federal stimulus
dollars to implement this

03:45:40.233 --> 03:45:42.268
workforce program which they've
decided to distribute to the
thirteen largest cities in

03:45:42.268 --> 03:45:44.839
california by population
proportionately resulting in
stockton receiving
approximately four point three

03:45:44.839 --> 03:45:47.740
million and some change.
It's a direct allocation so
we're not really applying as

03:45:47.740 --> 03:45:49.142
much as we just have to submit
our narrative in order to be
able to receive the funds and

03:45:49.142 --> 03:45:51.411
up here is just a brief
timeline of events.
So we were notified in
SEPTEMBER.

03:45:51.411 --> 03:45:53.513
The final guidelines came out
about three weeks ago.
We prepared this narrative very

03:45:53.513 --> 03:45:56.830
quickly for your review which
is where we are today and then
moving into next year early

03:45:56.830 --> 03:45:58.830
next year we will be issuing an

03:45:59.185 --> 03:46:00.919
rfp which I'll kind of get into
this next slide and then we'll

03:46:02.423 --> 03:46:04.990
be bringing the results that
rfp to you will for your
approval which will include a

03:46:06.292 --> 03:46:09.620
much more detailed description
of what we'll be up to.
And so tonight's relatively

03:46:10.196 --> 03:46:12.898
high level it's more structural
than that second phase will be
where we get into much more

03:46:14.402 --> 03:46:16.268
detail about what this program
will really look like and then

03:46:18.738 --> 03:46:20.738
we'll move on to execute the

03:46:22.243 --> 03:46:24.843
grants from roughly MAY twenty
twenty two through the end of
the grant which is until about

03:46:25.478 --> 03:46:27.714
JUNE 24.
Um, so this next slide you can

03:46:29.683 --> 03:46:32.418
kind of see again very high
level the design of the
program.
So california volunteer is

03:46:34.255 --> 03:46:36.210
being a grant or city of
sergeant being the grantee we

03:46:37.992 --> 03:46:39.726
will you've seen in the
resolution will move to hire

03:46:40.994 --> 03:46:43.362
one fifty one full time
position at the city of
starting who will oversee this

03:46:45.165 --> 03:46:47.567
workforce program which is to
say they'll be coordinating
with all the sub grantees we

03:46:48.902 --> 03:46:51.271
anticipate working with making
sure the programs are moving
forward, offering whatever

03:46:52.739 --> 03:46:54.773
assistance we can from the city
side.
We will then primarily work

03:46:56.310 --> 03:46:57.943
through the bulk of the work
with sub grantees.

03:47:00.313 --> 03:47:02.782
The city itself does not run
traditional workforce programs.
So what we really want to do is

03:47:02.782 --> 03:47:04.782
find the existing workforce

03:47:04.984 --> 03:47:06.718
programs that are able to
accept this infusion of cash

03:47:08.354 --> 03:47:10.856
and use it immediately to
produce immediate results for
stockton in the spirit of the

03:47:12.726 --> 03:47:14.426
stimulus money and those
subbranches will be invited

03:47:16.529 --> 03:47:18.231
through an rfp to propose
programs whether existing or

03:47:19.933 --> 03:47:21.667
new that meet the key focus
areas of the californians for

03:47:23.436 --> 03:47:25.637
all program which are climate
food insecurity or covid-19
recovery.

03:47:27.708 --> 03:47:29.875
Obviously that last bucket
being probably the most broad
of the bucket.

03:47:31.344 --> 03:47:34.120
So I'd be interested to see
what people propose with in
there and then simultaneously

03:47:36.116 --> 03:47:37.816
they have to demonstrate how
their program will meet the

03:47:38.586 --> 03:47:40.987
programmatic goals of
california's overall program
which include increasing youth

03:47:42.756 --> 03:47:45.191
engagement, developing career
pathways and strengthening the
city's capacity to address the

03:47:47.194 --> 03:47:49.328
key focus areas listed on the
left.
So 75 percent of the

03:47:51.298 --> 03:47:53.699
participants have to be what
they consider priority youth
which is spelled out in the

03:47:54.801 --> 03:47:57.170
guidelines of the program.
Examples are low income
unemployed or out of school

03:47:59.140 --> 03:48:01.473
just those involved engaged
with the mental health care
system or substance abuse

03:48:03.410 --> 03:48:06.278
system just sort of a much
longer list of the youth that
they consider to fall in that
category.

03:48:07.213 --> 03:48:08.981
They define youth as sixteen to
thirty years old and the funds

03:48:10.650 --> 03:48:13.385
can also be used to support
wraparound services which is
great.
That's usually not included in

03:48:14.387 --> 03:48:16.156
a lot of state grants to this
can be used for transportation

03:48:17.825 --> 03:48:20.260
costs were helpful.
it can be used for child care
costs which are often

03:48:20.260 --> 03:48:22.260
prohibitive for folks who are

03:48:22.630 --> 03:48:25.297
older.
Um yeah.
So very excited to see what the

03:48:26.733 --> 03:48:28.735
rfp yields.
Like I said there's really not
much to present to you.

03:48:28.735 --> 03:48:30.871
All right.
Now as far as what the program

03:48:30.871 --> 03:48:32.605
will look like and that's what
we'll be coming back to all

03:48:34.740 --> 03:48:35.407
with at the conclusion of that
process.

03:48:37.577 --> 03:48:40.146
So tonight all we are
requesting is one that you
authorize the city manager to

03:48:41.915 --> 03:48:44.250
apply for accept and
appropriate the grant funds
from this program which are

03:48:45.860 --> 03:48:46.752
four million three and fifty
five thousand ninety seven

03:48:49.522 --> 03:48:52.191
dollars and two to authorize
the allocation of a full time
grant funded position for the

03:48:53.590 --> 03:48:55.360
duration of the grant term.
It's all I got for you could do

03:48:57.297 --> 03:48:58.597
a public comment regarding this
item.

03:49:01.301 --> 03:49:03.469
We do not mayor, thank you very
much.
Privacy yes.
Hello grant.

03:49:05.138 --> 03:49:06.472
I'm so excited to see you
tonight.

03:49:07.942 --> 03:49:09.842
I remember when you were a
student walking the halls of

03:49:12.312 --> 03:49:13.912
this building getting paid a
stipend.
Yes.

03:49:16.951 --> 03:49:18.718
Oh you're working in the summer
now you're making a little bit

03:49:19.920 --> 03:49:21.254
more money so congratulations
on that.

03:49:23.691 --> 03:49:25.425
I I know we've done summer
youth employment before and I

03:49:27.293 --> 03:49:29.293
know this is different.

03:49:30.964 --> 03:49:33.310
I have a couple of questions.
First I I heard you and you

03:49:35.101 --> 03:49:36.869
said we're going to contract
out with some other people in

03:49:39.390 --> 03:49:40.707
the community that might be
able to assist with this.

03:49:42.309 --> 03:49:43.909
What is the percentage or
administrative funding?

03:49:46.613 --> 03:49:48.347
What what is the amount of this
allocation that can go towards

03:49:50.650 --> 03:49:52.451
that so they break it into ten
percent can go toward what they

03:49:54.487 --> 03:49:56.255
call indirect costs which don't
necessarily mean administrative

03:49:57.824 --> 03:50:00.250
as much as they just made
general costs of a general
nature.

03:50:00.590 --> 03:50:02.395
So what I mean by that is that
bucket doesn't necessarily
limit us for like a city

03:50:02.395 --> 03:50:04.395
position.

03:50:05.298 --> 03:50:07.320
That just means if we're going
to charge an ambiguous amount

03:50:08.968 --> 03:50:11.805
for accounting or H.R. Or
whatever, it cannot exceed ten
percent for us or sub
subbranches.

03:50:13.673 --> 03:50:15.374
They allow up to 40 percent if
I recall for the wraparound

03:50:16.176 --> 03:50:18.410
services and then the rest can
be used for direct
implementation dollars.

03:50:19.879 --> 03:50:21.747
So we only expect cost
associated with that full time

03:50:24.218 --> 03:50:26.852
position to you know, consist
of like what it would be like
our overhead if you will then

03:50:28.188 --> 03:50:29.955
plus any other accounting or
related expenses that might be

03:50:32.250 --> 03:50:34.293
incurred as well.
Right?
Well I'm thinking about brett

03:50:37.630 --> 03:50:39.630
versus dep and when we've done

03:50:39.365 --> 03:50:41.000
the program in the past and we
put one hundred thousand

03:50:42.970 --> 03:50:44.837
dollars towards that program in
the end we only hired thirty

03:50:47.108 --> 03:50:49.142
two students for the summer and
we had tons of kids who wanted

03:50:51.444 --> 03:50:53.444
to participate in the program

03:50:54.915 --> 03:50:57.160
and listening to the criteria
one of the criteria is in the

03:50:59.453 --> 03:51:01.860
past was oh are you on cash aid
that means your family's

03:51:02.356 --> 03:51:04.190
fifteen thousand dollars or
less a year or whatnot but

03:51:06.250 --> 03:51:08.560
there were kids that were just
above that.
So what is the threshold to be

03:51:12.867 --> 03:51:15.769
considered then for low income
as very broad categories?
I mean this is probably one of

03:51:17.637 --> 03:51:19.400
the most high level guidelines
I've seen.

03:51:21.108 --> 03:51:23.443
I actually I don't recall I
don't want to be incorrect but
I don't recall them putting a

03:51:23.443 --> 03:51:25.443
dollar amount to that figure.

03:51:25.546 --> 03:51:27.347
They just had low income and
the reason is because it didn't

03:51:28.182 --> 03:51:30.484
they don't have to meet all the
things I listed.
They have to meet one of the

03:51:30.484 --> 03:51:32.952
things I listed so they could
be low income or just involved

03:51:32.952 --> 03:51:35.221
or and the substance abuse
system.
So I think they tried to leave

03:51:36.589 --> 03:51:38.290
it relatively high level and
only seventy five percent of

03:51:40.227 --> 03:51:42.295
participants have to meet that.
So the other twenty five
percent could come from any

03:51:42.295 --> 03:51:44.632
background.
So even even makes me more

03:51:44.632 --> 03:51:46.632
excited just because we have

03:51:47.233 --> 03:51:49.200
kids that are doing everything
right in school but don't meet

03:51:51.171 --> 03:51:53.338
one of the categories they
still want the opportunity as
well.

03:51:55.708 --> 03:51:57.476
The other thing I spoke to the
city manager about this we have

03:51:59.246 --> 03:52:01.113
beita and I know that council
member right can talk about it

03:52:03.183 --> 03:52:05.784
business education alliance,
which is a partnership with the
school district and the chamber

03:52:07.654 --> 03:52:09.654
of commerce as well as other

03:52:10.524 --> 03:52:12.157
entities and it's it's to
promote private sector

03:52:15.428 --> 03:52:17.428
participation and preparing

03:52:18.498 --> 03:52:20.199
kids for the workforce or the
workplace excuse me which I

03:52:22.335 --> 03:52:24.335
think is a perfect kind of

03:52:26.406 --> 03:52:28.540
marriage here because we I
would love it if we went out

03:52:30.744 --> 03:52:32.511
into the private sector and had
businesses that would want to

03:52:34.782 --> 03:52:36.782
participate in hiring one of

03:52:37.851 --> 03:52:39.851
these youth or multiple youth

03:52:41.155 --> 03:52:43.155
and I don't know if it can be a

03:52:45.659 --> 03:52:47.427
wage share kind of like a work
study in college where some of

03:52:50.196 --> 03:52:52.196
it's paid, you know, by us and

03:52:53.700 --> 03:52:55.434
some is paid by them to, you
know, incentivize them wanting

03:52:58.380 --> 03:52:59.438
to do it or if it has to all be
paid by us.

03:53:00.373 --> 03:53:02.342
But I want us to be able to
employ any kid that wants a job

03:53:04.611 --> 03:53:06.278
and is willing to do the work
and that would include an

03:53:09.820 --> 03:53:10.849
interview cover letter resume
teaching them those soft skills

03:53:12.987 --> 03:53:14.987
which will be advantageous

03:53:17.570 --> 03:53:19.893
later on in life but making
sure they have that or if they
need certification like if they

03:53:20.727 --> 03:53:22.428
need their if they are over
sixteen or whatever age you

03:53:24.631 --> 03:53:26.398
know, forklift certification,
first aid cpr because there's a

03:53:28.368 --> 03:53:31.360
number of jobs there.
I know there's always this hunt
for lifeguards during the

03:53:32.839 --> 03:53:34.640
summer and we're hoping to have
all of our pools open at one

03:53:35.575 --> 03:53:37.643
point or another and and be
able to employ our youth to do

03:53:39.480 --> 03:53:41.413
those jobs.
So I'm just thinking about

03:53:44.818 --> 03:53:46.818
opportunities for us to really

03:53:47.554 --> 03:53:50.223
do a critical mass hire because
I don't know who said it then
can tell me I mean council

03:53:51.758 --> 03:53:54.259
member right can tell me but
you know the best social
program is a job.
Yeah.

03:53:56.429 --> 03:53:58.429
You know some of these kids I

03:53:59.599 --> 03:54:01.366
will tell you they're hustling
in ways they probably shouldn't

03:54:03.336 --> 03:54:05.605
be in order to have money
because they got to help out at
home.

03:54:06.774 --> 03:54:08.474
But to have a real job where
they're understanding all the

03:54:11.312 --> 03:54:13.312
work ethic that it takes to own

03:54:14.981 --> 03:54:16.849
operate and and make money
legitimately I think this is a

03:54:19.986 --> 03:54:21.986
wonderful opportunity for us to

03:54:22.857 --> 03:54:24.490
impart that wisdom onto our
youth to help them be

03:54:26.627 --> 03:54:28.560
successful in the future.
So I think this is fabulous.

03:54:30.597 --> 03:54:32.564
I love it, love it, love it and
I want to hire as many kids as

03:54:34.468 --> 03:54:37.269
we can and I'm happy to help.
I know this summer I'll still
be a council member but after

03:54:38.438 --> 03:54:40.720
that you can hire me part time
but I'll work for free.

03:54:41.541 --> 03:54:43.541
Ok, thank you.

03:54:45.545 --> 03:54:48.214
Can you speak to the age group
that's going to benefit from
this?
Just going to ask.

03:54:49.983 --> 03:54:51.650
Yeah so the um they define
youth in this context is

03:54:53.820 --> 03:54:56.121
sixteen to thirty and that's
what I thought.
Yeah yeah and thank you I

03:54:57.557 --> 03:54:59.491
wanted that clarified because
um we worked really hard with

03:55:01.796 --> 03:55:03.496
the big city mayors coalition
to advocate for this funding

03:55:05.799 --> 03:55:07.533
directly to our cities with as
much flexibility as possible

03:55:10.404 --> 03:55:12.710
and so just thank you for the
work that in advance that

03:55:13.741 --> 03:55:15.400
you're going to do in this
space.

03:55:17.111 --> 03:55:19.178
I think this tonight is a
tremendous win for the youth in

03:55:20.613 --> 03:55:22.649
our city.
Uh, and I think that's

03:55:24.717 --> 03:55:26.418
something that as a council we
should walk away from this

03:55:27.655 --> 03:55:29.588
evening really champing in
making sure that the public is

03:55:32.759 --> 03:55:34.693
aware of that this last council
meeting as far as I'm concerned

03:55:35.695 --> 03:55:38.397
is the best one of this year's
and I'm really proud of the
efforts and the work that our

03:55:40.166 --> 03:55:42.267
city is doing right now.
So I just want to clarify that

03:55:47.507 --> 03:55:49.507
I'm sorry

03:56:01.187 --> 03:56:03.590
council member.
Right.
Are you going to ask that
question?

03:56:03.590 --> 03:56:05.925
I was going to ask that same
question but thank you for
asking it.
But let me bring up another

03:56:05.925 --> 03:56:08.461
point we've had tonight a
couple of different
presentations where people
talked about issues and work

03:56:08.461 --> 03:56:10.897
workforce development in
stockton.
So I hope as we go about
developing this we're looking

03:56:10.897 --> 03:56:13.567
at the workforce gaps in the
city and trying to support some
programs that will backfill
some of that.

03:56:13.567 --> 03:56:15.769
And I'm hoping that maybe we're
looking at bringing in some
older interns here, maybe not

03:56:15.769 --> 03:56:17.769
the six year olds but some of

03:56:18.139 --> 03:56:20.640
the older ones that can
transition directly into some
of our jobs that remain vacant

03:56:22.209 --> 03:56:24.377
right now.
I see no reason why that can't

03:56:26.112 --> 03:56:27.413
be a part of what we're doing
here.

03:56:29.482 --> 03:56:31.451
Hopefully that's allowable and
and I know that the school

03:56:33.586 --> 03:56:35.421
district has some similar
issues with filling some of

03:56:38.910 --> 03:56:39.458
their classified positions and
data tax.

03:56:41.161 --> 03:56:42.895
Yeah, data tax special notices
things things of that nature.

03:56:45.433 --> 03:56:47.167
So I hopefully we're looking at
lots of partners for this

03:56:49.503 --> 03:56:51.503
spending every penny of it and

03:56:53.173 --> 03:56:55.307
again I'm excited I agree with
the mayor.
This has been a great meeting.

03:56:55.543 --> 03:56:57.776
We're doing a lot of good work
tonight.

03:56:58.110 --> 03:57:00.110
So keep it you know, stay solid

03:57:01.314 --> 03:57:03.148
on this and let's get that
money and let's get some people

03:57:04.651 --> 03:57:06.651
employed and I will I promise

03:57:07.822 --> 03:57:10.723
you I will be trumpeting this
loudly and widely.
You heard me talk about it this
morning.

03:57:12.359 --> 03:57:14.359
So this is a big deal.

03:57:15.929 --> 03:57:18.598
Thank you, takanawa.
Yeah, I too agree that this is
a very big deal.

03:57:19.566 --> 03:57:21.566
Um, we are at the raising

03:57:22.936 --> 03:57:24.670
cane's grand opening and the
people that they've employed

03:57:28.174 --> 03:57:29.809
and the enthusiasm of the open
the grand opening and the

03:57:31.412 --> 03:57:33.846
people part of it was yesterday
I was there and it was just
wasn't it wasn't scripted.

03:57:35.583 --> 03:57:37.650
So we're there and this young
lady was up there with jana who

03:57:39.753 --> 03:57:41.520
had brought us all in and so
she was saying am I doing a

03:57:42.122 --> 03:57:45.570
good enough job?
I doing a good enough job and
then she she goes I don't want

03:57:46.920 --> 03:57:48.862
to get fired.
And then she goes oh no, you're
doing your job.

03:57:50.970 --> 03:57:52.431
She goes I want to make my
parents proud and it just
absolutely broke my heart.

03:57:54.602 --> 03:57:56.201
It was just unscripted and it
was just so touching.

03:57:59.413 --> 03:58:00.747
So for us to have the ability
to get people that possibly

03:58:01.508 --> 03:58:03.208
can't get those jobs to get
other jobs is huge for me.

03:58:05.145 --> 03:58:07.413
So I definitely support this
and I think you know what I
mean.

03:58:08.982 --> 03:58:11.517
If people are in different
groups that can't possibly get
the job for some reason or

03:58:13.486 --> 03:58:15.589
another, I think this is a huge
asset for the city.
So thank you for bringing this

03:58:15.589 --> 03:58:17.589
and I wholeheartedly agree to

03:58:20.593 --> 03:58:22.593
support the do we have a motion

03:58:27.330 --> 03:58:28.300

03:58:31.272 --> 03:58:33.272
Motion passes seven zero this

03:58:35.141 --> 03:58:37.141

03:58:38.812 --> 03:58:40.812
other than to once again thank

03:58:42.315 --> 03:58:44.160
outgoing community services
director susie davoli for her

03:58:46.220 --> 03:58:48.187
service to the city and wishing
her the best in the next phase

03:58:50.790 --> 03:58:52.125

And the same for chief jones

service and wishing him the

03:58:58.298 --> 03:59:00.298
best as well.

03:59:01.168 --> 03:59:02.969
And that's it for this evening
.
Thank you.

03:59:05.438 --> 03:59:07.407
Counterparts, colleagues.
I just want to repeat with them

03:59:09.676 --> 03:59:11.844
I've already talked disease but
I do want to talk about you,
jones.

03:59:13.547 --> 03:59:15.682
I do believe we have the police
chief in the entire united
states there.

03:59:17.383 --> 03:59:19.651
We've been blessed for ten
years being I think that will
last forever.

03:59:22.156 --> 03:59:24.220
But you've done a lot of great
training while you were here at

03:59:25.258 --> 03:59:27.227
ti.
I'm excited to see your legacy

03:59:28.896 --> 03:59:30.663
live on mulva and the good
news is that you'll likely be

03:59:33.433 --> 03:59:36.101
doing some consulting work.
So if things aren't going right
maybe we can bring you back to

03:59:36.836 --> 03:59:38.836
do some work for and thank you

03:59:39.506 --> 03:59:41.506
for everything.

03:59:47.130 --> 03:59:48.647
Don't ever stop kazmi winsley
thank you mayor.

03:59:51.117 --> 03:59:53.860
I'm going to get to just a few
events over the weekend like to

03:59:55.155 --> 03:59:57.155
thank the mayor and COUNCILMAN

03:59:59.259 --> 04:00:01.126
Burkinabe for joining me and my
son nico during the naacp.

04:00:03.596 --> 04:00:05.596
We vacs event that happened.

04:00:06.233 --> 04:00:08.534
It was very insightful.
I took my thirteen year old
son.

04:00:10.570 --> 04:00:12.939
He got his flu shot and his
second fizer shot.
So that was really, really cool

04:00:14.741 --> 04:00:16.842
and he got twenty bucks.
He didn't expect it great for
him.

04:00:18.478 --> 04:00:20.212
He went and got a game so he
was really excited about that

04:00:21.781 --> 04:00:23.781
and it was great to hear from

04:00:25.352 --> 04:00:27.319
our public health director DR.
Magee parks along with some

04:00:29.923 --> 04:00:31.923
scientists to once again talk

04:00:33.393 --> 04:00:35.527
about the pandemic and covid-19
.
Secondly, I want to announce

04:00:37.731 --> 04:00:39.565
that the western branch high
school is going to have its

04:00:41.935 --> 04:00:43.935
first parade western ranch is

04:00:45.338 --> 04:00:47.720
going to start at five thirty
in the western ranch area.

04:00:49.243 --> 04:00:51.444
So if you're there, stop by and
say hi now for the heavier

04:00:52.680 --> 04:00:54.680
stuff.
I'm going to start with susie.

04:00:56.216 --> 04:00:58.518
I remember when I first got
elected I met her and I'm as

04:01:01.870 --> 04:01:03.188
she's talking I'm like I know
this voice.
I don't remember your name

04:01:05.225 --> 04:01:06.859
because I see so many people in
my life like in private

04:01:08.261 --> 04:01:11.163
practice at the hospital I'm
not good at names.
Don't blame my heart, blame my

04:01:12.399 --> 04:01:15.100
mind.
And after a while I was like
were you a librarian?

04:01:16.350 --> 04:01:18.350
And she said yes.

04:01:19.339 --> 04:01:21.140
I worked at the uh the trophy
librarian benfold and I

04:01:24.144 --> 04:01:25.944
remembered that she was a
librarian that used to help me

04:01:27.747 --> 04:01:29.747
when I brought my kids and she

04:01:31.218 --> 04:01:33.385
would read story time to them
why I worked on my resume and

04:01:34.854 --> 04:01:36.855
got my applications and to go
to college and so and I was you

04:01:39.260 --> 04:01:40.859
know, I was a mama with two
kids in college and while I did

04:01:43.263 --> 04:01:44.997
my research and I did my
application she kept the kids

04:01:47.167 --> 04:01:49.350
busy through story time and I
just want to say I really thank

04:01:51.204 --> 04:01:52.838
you and I really applaud your
efforts within the city.

04:01:54.708 --> 04:01:57.760
Great job.
And you know you have to be an

04:01:58.711 --> 04:02:00.779
equal employer.
So I know you're retiring but I

04:02:03.183 --> 04:02:04.583
have a six year old who loves
story time.

04:02:06.252 --> 04:02:08.620
So now you retired as a
librarian.
Now you can be the anti anti

04:02:09.656 --> 04:02:11.825
suzy.
So let me know where are you

04:02:13.660 --> 04:02:15.694
going to be?
And then secondly and lastly,

04:02:18.531 --> 04:02:20.531
I'm going to uh I have to talk

04:02:21.901 --> 04:02:23.901
about chief jones and this has

04:02:25.371 --> 04:02:27.473
been like in my heart because I
have known him in the community

04:02:30.210 --> 04:02:32.210
as an organizer there for so

04:02:33.713 --> 04:02:35.647
long being on panels with hambo
being able to call him with

04:02:38.119 --> 04:02:39.886
issues and concerns in the
community and the fact that he

04:02:42.388 --> 04:02:44.388
has always answered and so and

04:02:46.360 --> 04:02:48.360
thinking about what I wanted to

04:02:49.262 --> 04:02:51.262
say I had to go back to some of

04:02:52.665 --> 04:02:55.334
my stories and I remember for
those who didn't know my
grandfather was a preacher and

04:02:57.504 --> 04:02:59.504
he always would say the steps

04:03:01.408 --> 04:03:02.775
of a good man is required by
the lord.

04:03:05.110 --> 04:03:06.979
I always said that that always
resonated with me and just just

04:03:09.449 --> 04:03:11.449
thinking about the twenty nine

04:03:11.985 --> 04:03:13.985
years in this community and

04:03:16.290 --> 04:03:18.570
just some of the the things
that he's said that's resonated

04:03:20.493 --> 04:03:22.361
with me some of the officers
who were so rooted in the

04:03:24.431 --> 04:03:26.431
community like officer facilely

04:03:28.334 --> 04:03:30.334
and blondy and doug will

04:03:31.805 --> 04:03:33.839
wilhite it's just like he's
been this wolf in this

04:03:36.409 --> 04:03:38.177
community now I can't resign
everything because I'm kind of

04:03:40.460 --> 04:03:42.848
emotional.
This is chief jones but there
is something that I saw on the

04:03:44.517 --> 04:03:46.517
internet today that said small

04:03:48.321 --> 04:03:50.155
and ordinary seeds MAY be so
long as it remains alive it

04:03:55.610 --> 04:03:57.330
will sprout when you sell it.
And so as you're leaving out, I

04:03:59.320 --> 04:04:01.670
think that one thing that we
all should recognize as a city

04:04:03.536 --> 04:04:05.536
is that his leadership will

04:04:06.706 --> 04:04:08.706
remain here in the city of

04:04:09.876 --> 04:04:11.876
stockton through our officers

04:04:14.380 --> 04:04:16.148
and the effectiveness of your
leadership will be measured by

04:04:18.651 --> 04:04:20.651
the seeds you have sown in

04:04:22.355 --> 04:04:24.189
these in this city and I'm just
proud of the things and the

04:04:25.959 --> 04:04:27.959
efforts that you have made in

04:04:29.630 --> 04:04:31.630
this city from answering the

04:04:33.500 --> 04:04:35.267
calls to being a voice of
reason for standing with our

04:04:40.373 --> 04:04:42.373
young people to restorative

04:04:44.430 --> 04:04:46.110
practices, restorative healing
to trauma informed care I mean

04:04:48.282 --> 04:04:50.349
you name it it's endless.
And as you're moving on to the

04:04:52.719 --> 04:04:54.719
next level, whatever that MAY

04:04:56.190 --> 04:04:58.560
be, just know that you have
made an imprint in this

04:05:00.727 --> 04:05:02.694
community and lastly because it
always one more one more for me

04:05:04.998 --> 04:05:06.998
I remember when I was having an

04:05:08.680 --> 04:05:10.135
issue with my thirteen year
mika but at the time it was

04:05:11.204 --> 04:05:13.273
probably about five or six and
she jones and I just had this

04:05:15.141 --> 04:05:17.377
conversation about raising
young men and how it was so

04:05:19.646 --> 04:05:21.646
important that young men,

04:05:23.150 --> 04:05:25.840
especially young kids of color
had a very transparent and

04:05:27.555 --> 04:05:29.555
trusting relation with our

04:05:31.325 --> 04:05:33.326
officers and I'm really proud
to let you know that my son, my

04:05:33.326 --> 04:05:35.326
thirteen year old son has been

04:05:35.895 --> 04:05:37.362
talking about being a police
officer lately.

04:05:39.200 --> 04:05:41.767
So I'm really excited about
that.
And you know, again, these are

04:05:44.137 --> 04:05:45.871
these seeds that you have sown
in this community and we're

04:05:48.241 --> 04:05:49.509
forever indebted by you and to
you.

04:05:50.710 --> 04:05:52.678
So I appreciate you.
And that concludes my report

04:05:55.448 --> 04:05:57.518
cards from the tubac.
Thank you, mayor.
Quick question.

04:05:57.518 --> 04:06:00.185
Somebody had mentioned to me
that the polar plunge was back

04:06:02.922 --> 04:06:04.623
on this year but then I thought
maybe because of this covid

04:06:10.290 --> 04:06:12.290
spike as it canceled

04:06:23.910 --> 04:06:26.450
we know
the polar plunge that back on

04:06:26.450 --> 04:06:28.281
the polar bear plunge.
What do you think?
Uh, the polar bear plunge or we

04:06:28.281 --> 04:06:30.484
jump in cold water on new
year's day.
Is that happening or not
happening?

04:06:30.484 --> 04:06:32.752
I'm going to hand all of you in
a second.
They've been happening already,
susie deeply community services

04:06:32.752 --> 04:06:34.987
director.
I apologize.
I do not know I know they were

04:06:36.230 --> 04:06:38.690
talking about planning it so we
will definitely let you know
that was held at oak park.
Yeah.

04:06:40.427 --> 04:06:42.427
A couple of years ago it was on

04:06:43.497 --> 04:06:45.999
new year's vice mayor fugazi
myself participated and I'm
sure if that happens again I

04:06:48.101 --> 04:06:49.868
challenge all of you and the
city manager I got to get out

04:06:50.737 --> 04:06:52.705
there and my party don't get in
shorts and a t shirt and jump

04:06:54.974 --> 04:06:57.900
in that freezing cold water.
We should all do that thing

04:06:58.645 --> 04:07:01.447
that feels ok.
Can't remember right.
Being at the rose bowl is

04:07:03.384 --> 04:07:05.151
definitely no excuse not to be
there if I remember right they

04:07:07.455 --> 04:07:09.589
got their butts handed to him
that game the rest it to watch

04:07:11.258 --> 04:07:13.258
your back.

04:07:15.228 --> 04:07:16.962
So if if that event happened I
just remember back on that a

04:07:18.640 --> 04:07:19.798
couple of years ago in the
community engagement that was

04:07:22.202 --> 04:07:24.690
awesome like there were so many
people who shot up my daughters

04:07:26.239 --> 04:07:28.239
who are now nine and seven.

04:07:30.430 --> 04:07:31.810
They were six and six seven ish
and like boorish at the time

04:07:33.480 --> 04:07:35.547
really trying to jump in the
pool.
So I told them that they could

04:07:35.615 --> 04:07:37.917
do it that next year but then I
would have it.

04:07:37.917 --> 04:07:39.917
So I'm hoping it happens but

04:07:40.788 --> 04:07:42.889
I'm not sure it's going to
happen.
But if it does, I really

04:07:42.889 --> 04:07:44.889
encourage everyone to get out

04:07:45.325 --> 04:07:47.292
there jump in, huh?
Or I have a hot tub.

04:07:48.629 --> 04:07:50.396
We'll shove in the hot tub.
We'll figure it out.

04:07:52.400 --> 04:07:54.670
So yeah, so if that happens
like that would be really

04:07:56.202 --> 04:07:58.704
saying I'm pretty we're not
going to have another meeting
before that but it's usually on

04:07:59.874 --> 04:08:01.774
if they do it it's JANUARY 1st
and then I think uh director

04:08:04.244 --> 04:08:06.110
david lee and chief chief jones
I think we're all going to say

04:08:08.281 --> 04:08:09.948
nice things about you so I'll
keep mine short and I think

04:08:11.718 --> 04:08:13.652
that the two things I think a
point to you that I'm so

04:08:15.422 --> 04:08:18.123
impressed with and when I hear
how long your tenure is near
the city is character to me

04:08:20.428 --> 04:08:22.940
character is such a big deal
and character and that

04:08:23.563 --> 04:08:25.297
commitment to stay here city of
stockton has been a hard place

04:08:27.734 --> 04:08:29.501
to be and if you look at over a
thirty year window I have to

04:08:31.337 --> 04:08:33.390
imagine it's been a difficult
place to be for that long

04:08:34.675 --> 04:08:37.209
seeing everything that the city
has gone through and staffing
has gone through.

04:08:39.212 --> 04:08:41.146
So uh, it takes character to
stay here that long and ride

04:08:43.160 --> 04:08:45.180
that storm.
So I'm just so impressed and I

04:08:46.286 --> 04:08:48.755
someday hope that I can have
that type of career because
that that takes that like I

04:08:50.691 --> 04:08:53.492
said, character and commitment
and those are hard qualities it
seems like they get these days.

04:08:54.260 --> 04:08:56.260
So thank you in the cities

04:08:58.131 --> 04:09:00.650
forever grateful.
Very smart fugazi only 12

04:09:02.502 --> 04:09:04.703
things.
First of all, I do want to

04:09:06.573 --> 04:09:08.440
thank chief jones we go back to
before he was chief, before he

04:09:09.476 --> 04:09:11.476
was assistant chief deputy

04:09:13.948 --> 04:09:15.982
chief lieutenant sergeant
sergeant on your way to

04:09:17.751 --> 04:09:19.485
lieutenant I think goes back
that far but it's been a

04:09:21.988 --> 04:09:23.823
pleasure you will always be
chief to me even though you're

04:09:25.725 --> 04:09:27.594
retiring doesn't matter as much
as you told me to say oh just

04:09:29.620 --> 04:09:31.960
call me eric.
It's going to be chief sorry

04:09:31.965 --> 04:09:34.330
you're stuck with that forever
.
So thank you so much for all of

04:09:34.330 --> 04:09:36.330
your years of dedication to

04:09:36.350 --> 04:09:38.771
this city.
It really goes to show
something when somebody is able

04:09:40.707 --> 04:09:42.707
to invest that amount of time

04:09:44.770 --> 04:09:46.145
of their life in one agency.
I mean I know I've been to

04:09:48.415 --> 04:09:50.249
three school districts, you
know, in my career which is

04:09:52.485 --> 04:09:54.485
less than yours but not by much

04:09:56.550 --> 04:09:58.900
but to stay in one agency that
long you get to know everybody

04:10:00.427 --> 04:10:02.494
and you see people come and go
but you remain and that says a

04:10:04.130 --> 04:10:06.130
lot.

04:10:07.700 --> 04:10:09.700
Susie, thank you as well.

04:10:11.204 --> 04:10:13.204
It takes a very special person

04:10:15.576 --> 04:10:17.430
to be a librarian and I I
couldn't do it.

04:10:20.114 --> 04:10:22.114
Your level of patience and

04:10:23.150 --> 04:10:25.150
kindness and compassion and

04:10:27.454 --> 04:10:29.221
care and love love for all
things good in this world.

04:10:31.958 --> 04:10:33.958
I mean I truly believe that I

04:10:35.863 --> 04:10:37.863
have never seen you I don't

04:10:38.898 --> 04:10:40.898
think angry.

04:10:42.102 --> 04:10:44.169
I would say like I don't think
I have and you're just a really

04:10:46.240 --> 04:10:48.408
special person and I know you
know that and you will be
missed.

04:10:50.243 --> 04:10:52.440
So thank you.
Um, public works.

04:10:54.714 --> 04:10:56.714

pounds of of trash removed I

04:11:24.478 --> 04:11:26.745
mean that's just amazing.
I don't know where it's all
coming from.

04:11:29.149 --> 04:11:31.149
I wish we could make it go away

04:11:32.419 --> 04:11:34.253
but I want to thank public
works and our police department

04:11:36.824 --> 04:11:38.824

Uh, the next thing you guys
know at ted talks are so at

04:12:43.560 --> 04:12:44.724
edison high school right now in
their one of their senior

04:12:46.159 --> 04:12:48.560
english classes are doing ted
talks.
The kids get to pick their own
topic.

04:12:50.230 --> 04:12:52.297
They can't have words on a
slide.
They're supposed to just have

04:12:53.666 --> 04:12:56.502
pictures up there and they are
there not to introduce
themselves.
They start with a hook and they

04:12:58.339 --> 04:13:00.372
go right in and they need to
have data to support their
position.

04:13:02.760 --> 04:13:03.843
But I've heard everything from
gentrification, mental illness,

04:13:05.846 --> 04:13:08.648
dress codes.
They all want to talk about how
much they hate dress code

04:13:10.216 --> 04:13:12.510
feminism and how we're all
feminism and feminism is for

04:13:14.320 --> 04:13:16.320
you that she was fabulous

04:13:17.991 --> 04:13:19.991
speaker male discrimination and

04:13:21.394 --> 04:13:23.562
being e-l those were the ones
that I listen to today and i

04:13:26.132 --> 04:13:27.801
was so impressed by these young
people and then the teacher

04:13:29.969 --> 04:13:31.670
sent me off the list of all the
kids where they've applied and

04:13:32.906 --> 04:13:34.507
where some of them have already
shown their letters of

04:13:36.811 --> 04:13:39.611
acceptance for college and it's
just I mean it was wonderful
and that's why I want to make

04:13:41.181 --> 04:13:43.181
sure these kids have jobs that

04:13:44.250 --> 04:13:46.385
pay for school.
I'm going down number wise six

04:13:47.821 --> 04:13:49.823
oh.
So we heard in public comment

04:13:51.891 --> 04:13:53.826
and something I was thinking of
I know that you already had the

04:13:55.995 --> 04:13:57.863
meeting regarding a money that
we have allocated to go to

04:13:59.933 --> 04:14:01.900
different projects.
But if we could possibly have a

04:14:03.970 --> 04:14:05.970
fund for businesses that

04:14:07.841 --> 04:14:09.841
experience hardship because of

04:14:11.945 --> 04:14:13.645
vagrancy I mean graffiti,
anything that's happened to

04:14:14.948 --> 04:14:17.160
their boss I don't.
But if they could apply they
say ok, I've got a broken

04:14:17.160 --> 04:14:19.160
window.

04:14:19.252 --> 04:14:21.221
It's five hundred dollars.
If we could have a fund that

04:14:23.790 --> 04:14:25.790
helps them with that, I think

04:14:27.427 --> 04:14:29.294
that would go a long way.
Mount diablo exit so I brought

04:14:31.364 --> 04:14:33.199
this up a couple of times but
this is a message I was tagged

04:14:34.968 --> 04:14:36.702
in today and I just want to
share because if you've taken

04:14:37.872 --> 04:14:40.380
it I've lost my patience with
the skid row off of mt. Diablo

04:14:42.309 --> 04:14:44.376
exit in district five.
My son has asthma and they burn

04:14:46.546 --> 04:14:48.546
trash and scare traffic on I

04:14:49.450 --> 04:14:51.116
five with the all the smoke
family and friends visit me

04:14:54.530 --> 04:14:55.788
from out of town, get off on my
five in their first impression

04:14:57.560 --> 04:14:58.924
of stockton is a giant trash
heap is entirely unacceptable

04:15:01.494 --> 04:15:03.328
unhealthy and unsafe for both
the homeless people which we've

04:15:05.499 --> 04:15:07.499
discussed living there and the

04:15:08.968 --> 04:15:10.936
general taxpaying public that
shouldn't have to live in a hot

04:15:13.106 --> 04:15:14.741
mess and breathe toxins from
burning trash every day.

04:15:17.544 --> 04:15:19.311
I'm not victim blaming nor am I
trying to shame homeless people

04:15:21.381 --> 04:15:23.549
trying to survive in the
winter.
This is a failure of local

04:15:25.386 --> 04:15:27.386
government.

04:15:29.222 --> 04:15:31.900
St. Gertrude's we got the
pictures sent to us and I have

04:15:33.393 --> 04:15:35.160
to tell you I was at st.
Gertrude's in FEBRUARY FEBRUARY

04:15:36.960 --> 04:15:37.897
twenty four twenty eighteen
when they did that beautiful

04:15:40.233 --> 04:15:41.567
mural on the side of the
church.

04:15:44.537 --> 04:15:46.537
It was commissioned by a local

04:15:48.109 --> 04:15:50.109
artist, the famous local artist

04:15:52.345 --> 04:15:54.179
and part of it was paid by the
richwine family to have it done

04:15:56.683 --> 04:15:58.417
on a church there it was
blessed by the bishop knights

04:15:59.486 --> 04:16:01.454
of columbus were out there.
It was a big to do.

04:16:04.124 --> 04:16:06.124
You had all of the community

04:16:07.595 --> 04:16:09.595
come in order to honor this

04:16:11.197 --> 04:16:13.332
this mural on the building and
to look at it now it's just

04:16:14.901 --> 04:16:16.901
very sad on the bottom it had

04:16:17.971 --> 04:16:19.938
stockton and then it just
beautiful and to see it look

04:16:22.108 --> 04:16:23.842
like the way it does now I
really feel for them.

04:16:24.144 --> 04:16:26.144
I know that we have that main

04:16:30.183 --> 04:16:32.183
street

04:16:45.598 --> 04:16:47.635
project that's coming.
It can't come soon enough.
It is very poorly lit in that

04:16:47.635 --> 04:16:49.669
area.
I'm not saying just
specifically for st. Gertrude's

04:16:49.669 --> 04:16:52.139
but that whole area where it
goes from having lanes in both
direction to just one
direction.

04:16:52.139 --> 04:16:54.607
So I think we really need to
pay some attention to that.
there was a plan to put lights

04:16:55.760 --> 04:16:56.876
there, a crosswalk, somebody
who retired ton todd greenwood

04:16:59.512 --> 04:17:01.547
was working on it when he
retired.
The project went with him.

04:17:03.516 --> 04:17:05.184
There was one the public
speakers to our measure w

04:17:07.253 --> 04:17:08.687
regarding absences non
appointments.

04:17:10.323 --> 04:17:12.323
I know that that commissioner

04:17:14.195 --> 04:17:16.280
takes off of work to go to
those meetings does not get

04:17:18.932 --> 04:17:20.966
paid because it's a volunteer
position but takes off of their

04:17:22.737 --> 04:17:24.603
job to attend those meetings
and we really need to make sure

04:17:27.730 --> 04:17:29.730
that our commission and

04:17:30.343 --> 04:17:32.343
appointees are going to those

04:17:34.180 --> 04:17:36.883
nopsa.
This is another thing.
So the upcoming nova actually

04:17:38.318 --> 04:17:41.120
it's out.
So the no vote scheduled for
release to the public on friday

04:17:42.355 --> 04:17:44.523
DECEMBER 10.
So this is for the community

04:17:46.826 --> 04:17:48.826
development block grants and I

04:17:50.798 --> 04:17:53.299
just want to make sure
everybody is well aware that I
know some people received an

04:17:54.467 --> 04:17:56.302
email in advance.
I think everybody should

04:17:57.637 --> 04:17:59.571
receive an email in advance not
just some people but know that

04:18:01.441 --> 04:18:03.476
it is available.
So those in our community,

04:18:05.450 --> 04:18:06.846
those community based
organizations please make sure

04:18:09.449 --> 04:18:11.449
that you check out our website

04:18:16.923 --> 04:18:18.923
and apply and and I wanted to

04:18:20.394 --> 04:18:22.294
point out one more thing.
We've been on this council,

04:18:22.395 --> 04:18:24.395
some of us for quite some time

04:18:28.101 --> 04:18:30.936
and people do crazy things and
when when I say crazy, you
know, like you make a motion

04:18:32.572 --> 04:18:34.339
and then you don't vote for it.
We had that happen.

04:18:35.309 --> 04:18:37.543
Somebody made a motion and then
they voted no on the on the
item.

04:18:39.847 --> 04:18:41.581
But just because you vote you
make a motion, it doesn't

04:18:44.500 --> 04:18:45.918
obligate you to vote yes on the
item and then the very last

04:18:48.122 --> 04:18:49.856
thing I think I got through
everything on here very last

04:18:50.357 --> 04:18:52.392
thing I want to do is I want to
make sure everybody has a merry

04:18:54.360 --> 04:18:56.229
christmas, a happy new year
that your family is blessed

04:18:58.698 --> 04:19:00.698
with with good health and

04:19:02.569 --> 04:19:04.771
prosperity and it's not about
all the commercial part of the
holiday.

04:19:07.207 --> 04:19:09.207
I know you know, I shared this

04:19:10.478 --> 04:19:12.344
earlier.
One of my fondest christmases

04:19:13.580 --> 04:19:15.580
was when I was nine years old I

04:19:18.985 --> 04:19:20.453
got a book that's what I got
for christmas.

04:19:21.689 --> 04:19:23.422
I got a book that's my parents
couldn't afford anything else.

04:19:25.358 --> 04:19:27.326
I got a book and it was the
best present I ever got because

04:19:28.728 --> 04:19:30.630
it was rebecca.
It was an anthology of rebecca

04:19:32.398 --> 04:19:34.466
weathering heights and the
bronte sisters and my mom and I

04:19:36.569 --> 04:19:38.569
read that on the couch together

04:19:40.540 --> 04:19:42.274
we read the the whole book I
read a paragraph she'd read

04:19:44.277 --> 04:19:46.445
like three I'd read a paragraph
and then she read and it just

04:19:47.313 --> 04:19:50.115
meant so much to me that we
could sit and read and have
that time together because she

04:19:52.185 --> 04:19:53.919
worked so hard but she would
set aside thirty minutes to

04:19:56.423 --> 04:19:58.423
read with me at night and so I

04:19:59.493 --> 04:20:01.360
just want everybody to know
that it's not all about the

04:20:03.597 --> 04:20:05.697
presents but about being
together and caring for one
another.

04:20:08.234 --> 04:20:09.768
Um and I hope you have a
wonderful holiday.

04:20:11.738 --> 04:20:13.739
Thank you.
Cochabamba, canada thank you

04:20:15.809 --> 04:20:17.777
for me.
It's a proud day to be in

04:20:19.846 --> 04:20:21.613
stockton in susie if anyone
could read a book better than

04:20:23.283 --> 04:20:25.717
you I've never come across them
.
Um, I was always riveted when

04:20:27.320 --> 04:20:29.322
you tell stories and read a
book it was just touched my
heart.

04:20:31.558 --> 04:20:33.558
Your love of the giants, you

04:20:34.728 --> 04:20:36.796
know, is pretty outstanding.
Your love of this town is even

04:20:38.466 --> 04:20:40.365
more outstanding and the and
the people that you've touched

04:20:43.200 --> 04:20:44.704
and the people even myself I
serve on the board with you

04:20:47.740 --> 04:20:49.241
outside of this your love for
stockton shows I mean it shows
in your eyes.

04:20:50.745 --> 04:20:53.545
It shows in your heart.
So for me personally, thank you
so much for dedicating your

04:20:54.548 --> 04:20:56.348
life to the city of stockton
and being there for people and

04:20:58.219 --> 04:21:00.686
making their lives better
because that's for me my
biggest part of what I do this

04:21:02.880 --> 04:21:04.570
work is changing and making
people's quality of life
better.

04:21:06.760 --> 04:21:08.527
So thank you so much and you
have big shoes to fill where

04:21:10.296 --> 04:21:12.640
you know I mean after you're
gone and I know you're not

04:21:13.400 --> 04:21:15.834
going anywhere but I know that
you'll still be here and doing
things to make the city a

04:21:17.700 --> 04:21:19.138
better place to live.
Thank you so very much, chief

04:21:21.700 --> 04:21:23.750
jones.
Um, I was on the council when

04:21:25.311 --> 04:21:27.112
you first became chief and I
thought wow, he's pretty young.

04:21:29.449 --> 04:21:31.384
I said we're going to burn this
guy out and it was during the

04:21:33.253 --> 04:21:35.253
bankruptcy and you've shown

04:21:36.956 --> 04:21:39.240
nothing but stoic leadership.
Um, and I thank you from the

04:21:40.627 --> 04:21:42.461
bottom of my heart you always
treated me with dignity and

04:21:43.931 --> 04:21:45.864
respect and I appreciate that,
um, we've been through some

04:21:49.169 --> 04:21:51.300
pretty bad homicide years and
I'm trying to make this place

04:21:52.807 --> 04:21:54.673
better and we and you have
always been on the forefront of

04:21:57.444 --> 04:21:59.444
changing it and trying things

04:22:00.460 --> 04:22:02.415
and it's just amazing for me to
be here.
I mean not that I'm sad that

04:22:04.517 --> 04:22:06.485
you're going but I'm glad that
I was able to be here and watch

04:22:08.556 --> 04:22:10.222
you grow into a great leader
that you were the stockton

04:22:12.580 --> 04:22:14.293
police department.
We'll MISS You.
I'll MISS You.

04:22:16.630 --> 04:22:18.565
Um, but thank you for your
committed years of service to
the city of stockton and

04:22:20.333 --> 04:22:22.134
bienenstock down in it means a
lot to me because I'm also born

04:22:23.571 --> 04:22:25.537
and raised here and for people
to come back and stay is very

04:22:26.973 --> 04:22:29.141
rare.
So thank you from the bottom of

04:22:30.710 --> 04:22:32.845
my heart for what you've done
and the leadership you've
shown.

04:22:34.614 --> 04:22:36.415
Um, I I sometimes didn't envy
what you had to do but because

04:22:38.651 --> 04:22:40.651
of the city's loss of police

04:22:42.223 --> 04:22:44.156
officers and um and you always
did a fabulous job of being

04:22:46.727 --> 04:22:48.828
stoic and and leading the
police department in the right
direction.

04:22:50.464 --> 04:22:52.431
So thank you very much.
Um the other thing it's

04:22:54.734 --> 04:22:56.734
interesting for how you battle

04:22:58.706 --> 04:23:00.706
for your district and we all we

04:23:01.308 --> 04:23:03.242
all do it and um one of those
some points is the five mile

04:23:05.912 --> 04:23:07.780
slu and so I've been bug and
hairy and bug and hairy and bug

04:23:10.490 --> 04:23:12.490
and jody and so we had some

04:23:13.219 --> 04:23:15.540
extra money and so for bernie's
nickels and bill myers and

04:23:17.725 --> 04:23:19.691
ron's catina it's just great
when you get those little wins

04:23:22.128 --> 04:23:23.896
you we had twenty five thousand
dollars to clean up the highest

04:23:27.835 --> 04:23:29.535
and and bernie's because the
highest and looked like you

04:23:31.710 --> 04:23:33.806
could walk across it so you
know what I mean?
It is it is those things about

04:23:34.908 --> 04:23:37.609
we are all working for the city
but we do have our districts
and I think it makes a district

04:23:39.480 --> 04:23:42.214
difference.
I mean dan knows dan's blocked
it because we we are we

04:23:43.850 --> 04:23:46.151
borderline right there on five
mile.
So for me I think it's really

04:23:47.220 --> 04:23:48.954
important that we do have that
and so that's what kind of

04:23:51.357 --> 04:23:53.625
forced my opinion.
It's like no, I can't leave my

04:23:55.295 --> 04:23:57.229
district open for two years so
but it's those stories and like

04:23:58.598 --> 04:24:00.365
the trees at swensson that
we're going to fall on those

04:24:02.435 --> 04:24:04.269
it's those stories that make me
feel better about the job that

04:24:06.272 --> 04:24:08.275
I do and that the help that if
you do it, you know, sugar

04:24:08.275 --> 04:24:10.275
works a lot better than vinegar

04:24:11.278 --> 04:24:13.212
and I think if you go along and
you work and say hey, we can

04:24:14.514 --> 04:24:16.548
come disillusions collectively
that it pays dividends and as

04:24:19.520 --> 04:24:20.854
small and same as everybody
else it's the he said bill that

04:24:21.855 --> 04:24:24.490
is the best thing that's
happened in twenty five years
over there at the you know what

04:24:25.725 --> 04:24:28.560
I mean?
Now we're doing the colvert so
we've got funding for the
culvert.

04:24:30.960 --> 04:24:31.430
So there is hope you know what
I mean?

04:24:33.400 --> 04:24:35.234
And I hope on this note for
everybody to have a merry

04:24:36.403 --> 04:24:38.471
christmas happy holiday and
happy new year for our people

04:24:40.808 --> 04:24:43.409
that are retiring you will be
missed and thank you so much
for your years of service and

04:24:45.545 --> 04:24:46.845
so it's a proud day restocked
donia.

04:24:48.682 --> 04:24:50.682
Thank you captain ireland.

04:24:52.852 --> 04:24:54.820
Thank you mayor and as a follow
up to that council member and

04:24:56.256 --> 04:24:57.924
sarkozy said and also council
member canap\ like I have

04:25:00.360 --> 04:25:02.600
myracle my my in my district
and what today at least in

04:25:03.930 --> 04:25:05.930
werlau said it's become just

04:25:07.300 --> 04:25:09.869
there are there crazy people
along there now that are
breaking windows constantly and

04:25:11.971 --> 04:25:13.606
graffiti everywhere and there's
business owners you know,

04:25:14.674 --> 04:25:17.409
they're responsible for
replacing windows and a lot of
times they don't want to turn

04:25:19.680 --> 04:25:22.182
it into their insurance because
then their insurance goes up.
So then they're like do we

04:25:22.849 --> 04:25:25.684
really want to turn it in?
And I agree if there's some
kind of funding in this poor

04:25:27.320 --> 04:25:29.955
church I mean if there's
something we can do to help
them either like some kind of a

04:25:31.325 --> 04:25:33.325
fence around it or you know,

04:25:34.594 --> 04:25:37.497
it's it's it reflects on our
city.
It's not just them or that
business or that church.

04:25:38.932 --> 04:25:41.200
It's our city.
And I just I would like to see

04:25:42.870 --> 04:25:44.703
some type of a fund to help
some type of businesses like

04:25:47.700 --> 04:25:48.775
this or a church like this.
It's been around forever and

04:25:51.440 --> 04:25:52.678
something I hope maybe we can
discuss in the new year.

04:25:55.181 --> 04:25:56.915
Um, and I also want to thank
susie for her years of service

04:25:58.840 --> 04:25:59.986
to our city.
You are irreplaceable and

04:26:01.888 --> 04:26:04.189
you've been just so wonderful.
So thank you and then to our

04:26:06.494 --> 04:26:08.494
wonderful chief I've got to say

04:26:10.130 --> 04:26:12.130
this is really some of the

04:26:14.134 --> 04:26:15.868
nicest words I ever heard about
him were when they dedicated

04:26:18.271 --> 04:26:20.271
this awful field to misty whole

04:26:22.475 --> 04:26:24.475
thing and her husband got up

04:26:25.245 --> 04:26:27.245
and he spoke her husband she

04:26:29.349 --> 04:26:31.349
had been killed by at the bank

04:26:32.886 --> 04:26:34.953
of the west robbery and her
husband got up and spoke about

04:26:37.457 --> 04:26:39.457
him, chief jones and what a

04:26:40.794 --> 04:26:42.694
good friend he was because he
had gone over so many times to

04:26:44.364 --> 04:26:45.999
visit mr singh and paul singh
said he's not cheap.

04:26:48.601 --> 04:26:50.601
Jones to me now he's my friend.

04:26:55.542 --> 04:26:57.542
He's my really good friend and

04:27:09.356 --> 04:27:11.791
just touch me.
I will never forget him saying
that about you and I thought he

04:27:11.791 --> 04:27:13.960
was a victim a crime victim
whose wife was murdered very
young in a robbery and we all

04:27:13.960 --> 04:27:16.630
know what happened there and
that man he said chief jones
was one of his very best

04:27:16.630 --> 04:27:17.797
friends and I don't think there
could be any nicer words said

04:27:18.932 --> 04:27:21.600
about you and what paul said.
So I'm sorry.
It just it was emotional that

04:27:22.770 --> 04:27:24.770
day and I think you should be

04:27:25.939 --> 04:27:28.600
so proud of that.
And so with so many people feel

04:27:30.443 --> 04:27:32.443
about you so because for you to

04:27:33.647 --> 04:27:36.516
touch a victim like that that
means a lot to chief jones.
So thank you for everything

04:27:37.318 --> 04:27:39.318
you've done for so many people

04:27:41.822 --> 04:27:43.756
in the city victims, citizens,
everything.
So thank you.

04:27:45.325 --> 04:27:47.920
And then I think I hope
everybody gets a chance to see

04:27:49.262 --> 04:27:51.131
the wonderful life that we have
around city hall, our city

04:27:53.299 --> 04:27:55.168
hall, the beautiful park, the
library, her civic auditorium

04:27:57.737 --> 04:27:59.571
because if you get a chance to
drive down here at night it's

04:28:01.474 --> 04:28:03.420

it's it's beautiful.

04:28:04.944 --> 04:28:07.613

04:28:32.605 --> 04:28:34.373
close with um again just
sharing the same sentiments of

04:28:36.643 --> 04:28:38.643
my colleague uh with regards to

04:28:40.313 --> 04:28:42.147
uh director susie and chief
jones personally I'm a little

04:28:44.551 --> 04:28:46.453
disappointed because I didn't
get a chance to spend a lot of

04:28:48.220 --> 04:28:49.888
time both with both of you and
work with you and I don't have,

04:28:52.692 --> 04:28:54.294
uh, the this the stories the
moving stories that my

04:28:55.162 --> 04:28:57.330
colleagues have shared.
Uh, but I leaned over a moment

04:29:00.500 --> 04:29:02.500
ago, uh during the council

04:29:03.804 --> 04:29:05.738
meeting uh when uh director
susie came back up to the

04:29:07.807 --> 04:29:09.541
podium and I leaned in to the
council member canepa and I

04:29:11.811 --> 04:29:13.811
said, uh, director, this

04:29:15.815 --> 04:29:17.815
commitment to this city, uh,

04:29:18.885 --> 04:29:21.190
right now is moving to me
because here she is the very

04:29:23.890 --> 04:29:25.890
last council meeting, uh, of

04:29:27.160 --> 04:29:29.294
her professional career here at
city hall and um she has given

04:29:32.432 --> 04:29:34.432
100 percent uh to the very end

04:29:35.835 --> 04:29:37.835
uh is the same thing with with

04:29:38.271 --> 04:29:40.271
with chief jones.

04:29:42.108 --> 04:29:43.542
Uh, that's what I call true
leadership.

04:29:46.414 --> 04:29:48.280
That's leadership because what
the both of you have modeled

04:29:50.851 --> 04:29:52.851
not only to uh every one of us

04:29:54.221 --> 04:29:55.989
that sit here on the dais I've
had the privilege to work with

04:29:57.357 --> 04:29:59.357
you but also to our public is

04:30:01.528 --> 04:30:03.528
that it's always about the

04:30:05.432 --> 04:30:07.267
people and it's always about
making good everything that you

04:30:09.669 --> 04:30:11.669
can underneath your power in

04:30:12.305 --> 04:30:14.305
authority that you've been

04:30:16.776 --> 04:30:18.776
empowered with and granted to

hearts and lives of those that

So where you both are living

04:30:31.891 --> 04:30:33.358

shoes to fill.
