So I just like to 00:15:05.115 --> 00:15:06.849 know if you guys can help me to get some financial assistance 00:15:08.752 --> 00:15:10.752 to help me to pay for my 00:15:16.192 --> 00:15:18.260 mortgage. Thank you. Thank you .That's another add to that. 00:15:20.930 --> 00:15:22.930 Oh I'm sorry that the only 00:15:30.641 --> 00:15:32.709 of thank you for love . I know I 00:15:32.709 --> 00:15:34.709 was but I'm on the cultural 00:15:36.112 --> 00:15:38.447 heritage board and also the executive director of the sampson county historical 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:45.200 museum 00:15:57.435 --> 00:15:59.637 and a few months I've had the pleasure of submitting a series of national historic 00:15:59.637 --> 00:16:01.839 landmark applications for buildings in downtown stockton which are going to bring a lot 00:16:01.839 --> 00:16:04.141 of money to the city through the form of tax credits through the national tax credit law for 00:16:04.141 --> 00:16:06.210 state historic properties. I've heard through the grapevine from a variety of people in the 00:16:06.210 --> 00:16:08.678 historic preservation world that there might be potential for funding to be pulled from 00:16:09.280 --> 00:16:11.681 downtown through the discretionary funds that were passed for the open window 00:16:13.484 --> 00:16:15.552 project about six years ago. And I guess I'm just here to 00:16:17.822 --> 00:16:19.757 speak on behalf of that project. I know it's taken a 00:16:20.725 --> 00:16:23.127 long time to get off the ground in large part due to the pandemic and other serious 00:16:23.995 --> 00:16:25.995 barriers in development in 00:16:28.166 --> 00:16:29.833 stockton. I think that the projects are very close to 00:16:31.702 --> 00:16:34.500 getting off the ground and we're in the process of probably applying for 00:16:35.907 --> 00:16:37.675 historic tax credits in the next month or so. What that 00:16:39.744 --> 00:16:42.790 means is probably potentially a million dollars in federal funding for development in 00:16:44.215 --> 00:16:46.215 downtown and I think if the 00:16:47.819 --> 00:16:49.419 city is in fact deliberating on taking the discretionary 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.240 funding that's going to signal 00:16:55.861 --> 00:16:57.528 some very negative things both the historic preservation 00:16:58.864 --> 00:17:00.631 community but other investors and developers and real estate 00:17:03.101 --> 00:17:05.101 folks that are trying to make 00:17:06.404 --> 00:17:09.307 downtown an island place so I want to speak on behalf of the project again. I know that 00:17:11.377 --> 00:17:13.144 sometimes projects take time to get off the ground and downtown 00:17:13.612 --> 00:17:16.214 but I think this is on the cusp of doing some really great things. It would be a shame if 00:17:18.684 --> 00:17:20.684 the city's investments or for 00:17:22.454 --> 00:17:24.454 some reason taken away. Thank 00:17:30.463 --> 00:17:32.463 you. Thank you, jane. Thank and 00:17:36.435 --> 00:17:38.435 your local council members 00:17:39.678 --> 00:17:41.406 remember me speaking to you previously or personally when I lived to the metro about three 00:17:43.677 --> 00:17:45.611 years ago, which is subsidized property that has I think about 00:17:48.114 --> 00:17:49.882 six markets units from this experience I can tell you one 00:17:52.151 --> 00:17:53.785 very important lesson that I have learned up front and 00:17:55.655 --> 00:17:57.389 personal our low income community members have been 00:18:00.600 --> 00:18:01.794 silenced and that is this the sewage seeps into the basement 00:18:03.663 --> 00:18:05.398 of that building due to improper plumbing. No one 00:18:06.867 --> 00:18:08.701 speaks up the sewage bothers onto the sidewalk to do the 00:18:10.804 --> 00:18:12.771 plumbing coming to and from the building. No one speaks up when 00:18:14.941 --> 00:18:17.309 property owners are allowed to collect low income subsidies and not provide parking or 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:21.480 security for their tenants. No 00:18:22.582 --> 00:18:25.284 one speaks out and then I ask why they don't speak up. They respond as follows. I can't 00:18:27.254 --> 00:18:29.121 complain. I need this apartment. I don't want to get 00:18:30.191 --> 00:18:32.558 kicked out and so the voices are silenced and no one complains is the person that 00:18:34.629 --> 00:18:36.696 knows that she has nothing to lose. That's me. And so I 00:18:39.567 --> 00:18:41.334 called of the fricassee and she responds and I emailed the 00:18:42.503 --> 00:18:44.237 mayor's office and they respond I have connections which means 00:18:46.840 --> 00:18:48.840 I have a voice and to get 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:51.844 downtown stockton a chance to get the low income community 00:18:54.249 --> 00:18:56.830 members already living here a chance to support the ten space 00:18:58.386 --> 00:19:00.153 open window project we got it difficult for people to build 00:19:02.323 --> 00:19:04.570 affordable or market rate apartments in downtown people 00:19:05.426 --> 00:19:07.930 who will speak on behalf of all residents in downtown. The 00:19:09.130 --> 00:19:10.898 market rate housing across central coffee still sits empty 00:19:13.100 --> 00:19:15.202 after repeated delays and repeated roadblocks. Who's responsible for those 00:19:17.639 --> 00:19:19.373 roadblocks and those delays? Is this to ensure that downtown 00:19:21.576 --> 00:19:23.310 never has a voice you must allow to public support and 00:19:25.379 --> 00:19:27.800 public this project to move forward so that affordable 00:19:29.818 --> 00:19:31.686 housing is built. I was here a few years ago. MR. Court was 00:19:33.455 --> 00:19:35.890 told that he was that it was important to infuse new 00:19:36.858 --> 00:19:39.760 investors into his projects and so he has done that. He has brought new investors to the 00:19:41.730 --> 00:19:43.530 table. Therefore it is time for the city to make good on the 00:19:45.301 --> 00:19:46.968 funding that they promised. The interesting thing about MR. 00:19:49.380 --> 00:19:50.705 Court is this he is engaged in the development of downtown 00:19:52.474 --> 00:19:54.208 stockton that literally anyone else in this room and he 00:19:55.811 --> 00:19:57.945 doesn't even live here in the he keeps coming back to a city 00:20:00.849 --> 00:20:03.351 that appears to keep shedding doors and the one person who understands who seems to 00:20:04.420 --> 00:20:06.121 understand what downtown stockton really needs. Thank 00:20:16.232 --> 00:20:18.232 you, father kennedy, mayor 00:20:19.602 --> 00:20:21.470 council members my name is ron barber said you don't know me 00:20:23.740 --> 00:20:25.740 and my business is heavily 00:20:26.809 --> 00:20:28.743 invested in nonprofit and homeless. The situation in 00:20:31.414 --> 00:20:33.181 downtown stockton I am a general partner in the open 00:20:35.451 --> 00:20:37.451 window project and I know 00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:40.756 firsthand that there is a need for this lower income market 00:20:42.592 --> 00:20:44.592 rate housing and I'm asking 00:20:46.596 --> 00:20:48.596 that the council take it up on 00:20:50.166 --> 00:20:52.340 the next time that you meet and see the need for this project 00:20:54.504 --> 00:20:56.439 and continue to support what we're doing. Our project has 00:20:58.708 --> 00:21:00.476 taken some time but I've worked with many of the developers in 00:21:02.712 --> 00:21:04.413 downtown and one of the largest developers in downtown is a 00:21:06.483 --> 00:21:08.117 nonprofit. Her project it took six years to get off the 00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:11.856 ground. So if it's a timely issue, I think that we're not 00:21:11.856 --> 00:21:13.856 the only ones who have had some 00:21:14.692 --> 00:21:16.692 delays in our process. But 00:21:16.927 --> 00:21:18.962 personally I have demolished many of the unsightly unsafe 00:21:21.431 --> 00:21:23.431 buildings in downtown working 00:21:25.202 --> 00:21:27.690 with the open window group and so I would really ask for your 00:21:29.730 --> 00:21:30.907 support for our continued ability to make this new 00:21:33.177 --> 00:21:35.144 construction project work. Thank you. Thank you. That 00:21:40.184 --> 00:21:42.184 could 00:21:48.393 --> 00:21:50.393 their cast members know 00:21:55.990 --> 00:21:57.701 that my name is that court business and property owner who has worked for the last 15 00:21:59.971 --> 00:22:01.971 years to enhance the economic 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:04.374 vibrancy of downtown, the variety of different projects 00:22:06.845 --> 00:22:08.845 we've been a part of as a mixed 00:22:10.748 --> 00:22:12.383 use market project that you've heard a little bit about 00:22:14.252 --> 00:22:16.252 tonight and through my 00:22:18.122 --> 00:22:20.958 communication with all of you it is my understanding to get updates on a project from the 00:22:22.628 --> 00:22:24.595 economic development director since I'm not clear on what 00:22:26.965 --> 00:22:28.733 updates you've been given and the accuracy of those updates. 00:22:33.138 --> 00:22:35.600 I'm here to give some clarity to the downtown infrastructure 00:22:36.841 --> 00:22:38.841 and sensitive reimbursement 00:22:40.613 --> 00:22:42.580 agreement for a total of 4.5 million. This is for hundred 00:22:45.251 --> 00:22:47.510 twenty nine residential and fifty five thousand feet 00:22:49.321 --> 00:22:51.689 of commercial space. We're not looking for a moment to this agreement because we are 00:22:53.910 --> 00:22:54.825 producing a lot of units. We are building to seventy seven 00:22:56.629 --> 00:22:58.297 market rate units and forty thousand feet of commercial 00:23:00.767 --> 00:23:02.767 space. The production 129 units 00:23:04.337 --> 00:23:06.304 into two phases because lenders will not agree to finance the 00:23:09.575 --> 00:23:11.575 twenty units at one time. It is 00:23:12.244 --> 00:23:14.812 still our intent to build the remaining fifty two units after the initial seventy seven units 00:23:16.916 --> 00:23:18.916 are completed. This project was 00:23:19.485 --> 00:23:21.186 submitted to the planning department on SEPTEMBER 14th. 00:23:23.356 --> 00:23:25.356 Twenty twenty two planning no 00:23:27.326 --> 00:23:29.261 two two dash zero one one six relate to the architects and 00:23:31.665 --> 00:23:33.366 engineers that we should clear the planning department the 00:23:35.902 --> 00:23:38.204 next two to three weeks.

I'm going to do my best to try and get council member 00:27:07.384 --> 00:27:09.384 for guys questions clearly 00:27:12.723 --> 00:27:14.590 stated ok, so she has several on did you want to speak in 00:27:15.826 --> 00:27:17.760 general to the project or would you like me to begin with the 00:27:20.965 --> 00:27:22.666 questions? I think you should just go ahead and begin with 00:27:23.901 --> 00:27:26.403 your questions. Ok, very good. The first question is how was this grant publicized and 00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:30.720 promoted in the community? So 00:27:31.342 --> 00:27:33.143 director of economic development this was widely 00:27:35.613 --> 00:27:37.613 distributed through our 00:27:39.184 --> 00:27:40.951 facebook page, through our social media accounts as well 00:27:43.855 --> 00:27:45.589 as and we maintain a long list of nonprofit organizations that 00:27:47.580 --> 00:27:49.580 have signed up with us and it 00:27:50.361 --> 00:27:52.361 is distributed that way and 00:27:54.514 --> 00:27:57.101 then I'd have to double check we did a press release as well and then it went throughout the continuum of care a membership 00:27:59.204 --> 00:28:01.710 list as well. Ok, so if somebody has signed up with you 00:28:06.578 --> 00:28:09.179 on that nonprofit advisory was you'll send it to everyone on that let's say the center 00:28:10.582 --> 00:28:12.582 everyone on that list. Ok, and 00:28:14.853 --> 00:28:16.587 just generally what were the criteria for submission anyone 00:28:17.756 --> 00:28:19.524 could submit or we took applications from anyone in the 00:28:22.327 --> 00:28:24.327 community who felt they met the 00:28:25.597 --> 00:28:28.232 criteria ok, they meet criteria I'm not going to say nonprofit organizations serving stockton 00:28:30.690 --> 00:28:31.736 residents ok that's pretty general aren't nearly any 00:28:34.730 --> 00:28:36.730 nonprofit was likely to meet 00:28:37.343 --> 00:28:39.377 that the risk categories listed in terms of things that would 00:28:42.140 --> 00:28:43.748 be applicable to the american rescue plan at funding dollars 00:28:46.219 --> 00:28:48.219 but it was very general it even 00:28:48.988 --> 00:28:50.755 had I think other just because we were trying to capture any 00:28:52.825 --> 00:28:54.592 service or nonprofit it would serve the community in a way 00:28:56.462 --> 00:28:58.296 perhaps we had not thought of the projects that we 00:29:00.766 --> 00:29:03.168 eventually received that correspond pretty much to those aren't the categories we 00:29:04.905 --> 00:29:06.905 received 69 applications and 00:29:08.909 --> 00:29:10.909 had you know, they were a 00:29:11.377 --> 00:29:13.377 variety of projects but they 00:29:15.448 --> 00:29:17.448 were very good projects like 00:29:18.918 --> 00:29:20.918 worthy applicants vetted 00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:25.891 through the really what about about this but let me try it 00:29:26.727 --> 00:29:28.361 with the applicants vetted through the state's 00:29:30.831 --> 00:29:32.631 organizational structure. I'm not sure what that is referring 00:29:34.968 --> 00:29:36.702 to but the application is were vetted and for compliance 00:29:39.673 --> 00:29:41.673 purposes. So when you say for 00:29:43.143 --> 00:29:44.978 nonprofit status, yes, they were asked to submit their 00:29:47.800 --> 00:29:49.315 nonprofits status information, ok, and that would be just five 00:29:51.685 --> 00:29:53.685 one two three five oh one three 00:29:53.854 --> 00:29:56.255 see documentation and exam to the letter from the federal government fair registration 00:29:58.920 --> 00:29:59.826 with the state is a variety of means that they could share 00:30:02.290 --> 00:30:04.497 with us and that was the sole very purpose as long as they met that category they were 00:30:05.900 --> 00:30:08.735 considered they were considered ok who decided the dollar 00:30:12.239 --> 00:30:14.239 amounts? It was staff 00:30:16.444 --> 00:30:18.444 recommendations ok and so was 00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:21.815 there a committee that to do that or there was a staff 00:30:23.684 --> 00:30:25.552 committee that met and reviewed an initial review of the 00:30:28.222 --> 00:30:30.190 applications the past in the past and then the top rate 00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:34.560 applications they reviewed for 00:30:35.664 --> 00:30:37.431 again they received not again we received about sixteen 00:30:39.701 --> 00:30:41.335 million in requests with about two point seven million 00:30:43.705 --> 00:30:45.705 available. So we looked to do 00:30:48.309 --> 00:30:50.309 two things one from the top 00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:53.447 ranked organizations but also funded deeply into the list so 00:30:55.417 --> 00:30:58.180 that we could capture nonprofits that might not have otherwise received funding from 00:31:00.121 --> 00:31:02.121 the city in the past. So what 00:31:02.590 --> 00:31:04.625 were the applicants required to deliver was they were required 00:31:07.296 --> 00:31:09.296 to outline their plan with 00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:12.599 their funding request. The 00:31:14.670 --> 00:31:17.710 allocations for all of the applications are partial funding. So we will go through 00:31:19.241 --> 00:31:21.241 at the upon the council 00:31:21.810 --> 00:31:23.711 approval and redefine scope given the funding allocated and 00:31:26.616 --> 00:31:28.616 finish essentially what is in 00:31:29.885 --> 00:31:31.619 the procurement process. There's a question regarding 00:31:34.230 --> 00:31:35.757 how this is probably one of the applicants. How many students 00:31:37.459 --> 00:31:39.459 will your p serve and I would 00:31:41.631 --> 00:31:43.866 have a look at the application because it was a partial funding. They had three 00:31:45.601 --> 00:31:47.302 applications and we can get that information following the 00:31:49.639 --> 00:31:51.373 council you could share that with all shire council members 00:31:53.676 --> 00:31:55.676 is allowed to take a minute to 00:31:57.346 --> 00:31:58.980 get because if they have to redo their scope of course 00:32:00.951 --> 00:32:02.818 that's that's understandable. If they did not get fully 00:32:04.788 --> 00:32:06.822 funded we can expect them to fully deliver picking up we 00:32:08.925 --> 00:32:10.626 would hope that to the greatest degree possible on how the 00:32:12.495 --> 00:32:14.495 students are participating in 00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:18.500 the leadership I will get that 00:32:24.274 --> 00:32:26.274 information as well and the age 00:32:30.380 --> 00:32:32.248 range for certain spider-man. I would have to get that for you 00:32:33.984 --> 00:32:35.984 as well. These are details that 00:32:38.136 --> 00:32:40.122 have been worked out in the latter half of the procurement process with the scope and the detail so they can get all of that information for you. 00:32:42.292 --> 00:32:44.292 Ok, so these are very specific 00:32:45.329 --> 00:32:48.300 questions that we MAY have to just kind of add them to this. I can provide you with this 00:32:49.499 --> 00:32:51.499 document afterwards who is 00:32:53.471 --> 00:32:55.471 providing some services for the 00:32:57.275 --> 00:32:59.242 ip same here. I mean everyone I go through and look at yeah I 00:33:04.882 --> 00:33:06.716 will get that for you. Ok, is this visionary providing the 00:33:08.620 --> 00:33:10.254 services to you and residing on their properties? General 00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:15.240 motors yes. It's only to 00:33:16.294 --> 00:33:18.294 students on their properties ok 00:33:19.931 --> 00:33:21.665 and organizations to be coordinating with our local 00:33:24.368 --> 00:33:26.938 school districts if their scope of work indicates that they lied. Yes. We're not requiring 00:33:28.407 --> 00:33:30.407 that. No. Ok, thank you. I 00:33:31.877 --> 00:33:33.877 appreciate your patience with 00:33:36.114 --> 00:33:38.114 me. The organizations I just 00:33:39.384 --> 00:33:41.852 ask that question and then is there a specific population that red rabbit will be working 00:33:43.622 --> 00:33:45.622 with the homeless population 00:33:47.726 --> 00:33:49.427 throughout the city? They are receiving partial funding as 00:33:51.129 --> 00:33:53.129 well as the review their scope 00:33:55.670 --> 00:33:57.670 ok and it will be a homeless 00:33:58.203 --> 00:34:00.171 population or on shelter population. Yes, somewhere in 00:34:02.641 --> 00:34:04.275 the city. Yes, specifically a city. Everything is 00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:08.813 specifically the city. So there's an organization that serves county wide. It will be 00:34:11.160 --> 00:34:13.160 within their contract yet to be 00:34:14.286 --> 00:34:16.454 developed that they are funding to serve those residing in the 00:34:18.825 --> 00:34:20.558 city of stockton and if they cannot pass that out then the 00:34:22.995 --> 00:34:24.995 contract will not go through ok 00:34:26.499 --> 00:34:28.499 and that is all I have. I got 00:34:29.368 --> 00:34:31.669 no generic questions. Thank you .No, that's it. I think it's 00:34:33.339 --> 00:34:35.140 following up to that. So if if there are parts of their 00:34:37.344 --> 00:34:39.211 application that an applicant cannot fulfill such as they no 00:34:41.881 --> 00:34:43.715 longer have an office to go to do visit because they were 00:34:45.918 --> 00:34:47.652 evicted or something or they don't have workman's comp or 00:34:48.855 --> 00:34:50.622 their paperwork for the or to the state there's no board that 00:34:52.925 --> 00:34:54.994 exists. You will not find that's correct. So like we do 00:34:56.630 --> 00:34:59.198 with the annual action plan, we go through an initial vetting process application process. We 00:35:01.301 --> 00:35:03.350 get to the point where we feel comfortable recommending them 00:35:05.138 --> 00:35:06.905 to council. But that's not the end of the process. We approve 00:35:08.341 --> 00:35:10.776 them and then we go into the contract scoping and the regular procurement process 00:35:13.130 --> 00:35:14.781 which they have to go through and administrative services for 00:35:16.283 --> 00:35:18.818 review. They need to go through the risk for review. They go through the attorneys office 00:35:20.287 --> 00:35:22.188 for review. So we will conclude and that's why you see in the 00:35:24.658 --> 00:35:26.492 recommendation that you authorize us to reallocate 00:35:28.161 --> 00:35:29.863 funds recipients if for some reason they don't accept the 00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:33.366 funding because it's partial funding or they cannot connect 00:35:36.337 --> 00:35:38.104 to the scope and that's that's correct. I think that's some 00:35:38.739 --> 00:35:41.407 of the concerns that people have raised with me are whether there's applicants who have 00:35:42.576 --> 00:35:44.576 applied have been recommended 00:35:46.347 --> 00:35:48.347 to get dollars and who MAY not 00:35:50.451 --> 00:35:52.485 meet requirements to legally get them. So I'm happy that 00:35:54.550 --> 00:35:55.789 there is a mechanism in place to address just those concerns 00:35:58.459 --> 00:36:00.193 about the other one. I really like this but some of the 00:36:02.362 --> 00:36:04.765 things like that are kind of a little bit disappointing to see some of the ones that are 00:36:05.767 --> 00:36:07.501 getting a lot more the money maybe organizations that have 00:36:08.670 --> 00:36:10.637 money versus some of the ones who MAY need more money seems 00:36:10.705 --> 00:36:12.705 to be on the lower end. So and 00:36:13.474 --> 00:36:15.108 that's not to call out university to pacific or 00:36:16.677 --> 00:36:18.512 stockton symphony who her historically very good. You 00:36:20.882 --> 00:36:22.882 know, fund raisers and have 00:36:24.686 --> 00:36:26.554 what I thought was to be la a large donor base to be able to 00:36:29.391 --> 00:36:31.391 do these type of things. So I'm 00:36:32.930 --> 00:36:33.894 not I trust your staff. I'll figure out how to allocate 00:36:36.197 --> 00:36:38.650 that. That was looking at giving a face value a little 00:36:40.336 --> 00:36:42.336 bit kind of a receipt. So and 00:36:46.875 --> 00:36:48.875 the recommendations are based 00:37:02.124 --> 00:37:04.160 on what they asked for as some of the smaller agencies understand the capacity, the 00:37:04.160 --> 00:37:06.328 notes and ask for less for some of the larger more established ones. You know, they had the 00:37:06.328 --> 00:37:08.630 base in the capacity so they would have asked for additional funds. I know we got an e-mail 00:37:08.630 --> 00:37:10.966 from the stockler sister cities and they were asking for to be upped for them and I don't know 00:37:10.966 --> 00:37:13.269 how that's possible that that could be considered that I've been to some of their events 00:37:13.269 --> 00:37:15.338 and I think they do that to me at least it feels like a really good job of averaging and 00:37:15.338 --> 00:37:17.500 teaching culture, especially around some of our cities 00:37:18.407 --> 00:37:20.108 different cultures that we partner with. So if that's 00:37:23.446 --> 00:37:25.113 possible, I don't know if it is but at least hopefully to 00:37:25.948 --> 00:37:27.916 consider that if any of these don't pan out then and you look 00:37:30.219 --> 00:37:31.987 at reality we can take that to do that in terms of I mean 00:37:34.240 --> 00:37:36.558 obviously council can do whatever I would like to do this is that if the direction 00:37:38.628 --> 00:37:41.163 is to reallocate if similar funds can't be used, I think we can take that into 00:37:42.498 --> 00:37:44.498 consideration. Absolutely to do 00:37:44.967 --> 00:37:47.200 sister cities, thank you for can't remember right. Yeah I 00:37:49.706 --> 00:37:51.706 don't just piggyback on that a 00:37:52.976 --> 00:37:55.578 little bit. I also received the email from the sister cities association. I realize it is 00:37:57.647 --> 00:37:59.647 not as robust an organization 00:38:01.551 --> 00:38:03.285 currently as it has been in the past but that doesn't mean we 00:38:05.540 --> 00:38:07.230 couldn't benefit greatly if it were to become more robust. So 00:38:08.725 --> 00:38:10.660 hopefully these funds will be used to kind of increase their 00:38:12.129 --> 00:38:14.597 outreach and increase their fundraising abilities not just from us but from other people 00:38:17.101 --> 00:38:19.101 who support sister city 00:38:20.570 --> 00:38:22.570 efforts. So the other question 00:38:24.375 --> 00:38:26.760 I had was if if some do turn out not to qualify and those 00:38:28.546 --> 00:38:30.380 funds come back, will it be coming back to us for approval 00:38:32.850 --> 00:38:34.850 or and if not will at least be 00:38:35.319 --> 00:38:37.530 getting updates on the redistribution? We can provide 00:38:39.489 --> 00:38:41.291 an update on the redistribution should those not pan out. I 00:38:43.962 --> 00:38:45.696 would like if there is any redistribution of these funds I 00:38:47.298 --> 00:38:49.320 know where the item tonight we're allocating the authority 00:38:50.701 --> 00:38:53.169 to redistribute so we are doing that at the very least I would like to see how that's 00:38:54.906 --> 00:38:56.906 redistributed. Ok, thank you 00:38:58.176 --> 00:39:00.211 guys. Remember canada? Um yeah this is always a hard one and I 00:39:00.211 --> 00:39:02.211 know that you know what I mean? 00:39:03.140 --> 00:39:04.882 It's a win win first I'm going to lose lose for others and so 00:39:06.551 --> 00:39:09.219 that's always the hardest part for me is when you do do this what's the due diligence? You 00:39:09.988 --> 00:39:11.688 know, I mean because obviously people in the community will 00:39:13.458 --> 00:39:15.995 talk about somebody else. They don't do this. They don't do this. They don't get it. So 00:39:15.995 --> 00:39:18.530 that's what you're saying the vetting process will handle it. 00:39:18.530 --> 00:39:20.530 There's some discrepancies with 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:24.000 it. I mean so so who can 00:39:25.270 --> 00:39:27.104 whoever can get there's not only the vetting process on the 00:39:29.407 --> 00:39:31.909 front but there's a contract to hold them accountable for their deliverables. So if they don't 00:39:33.779 --> 00:39:35.446 deliver then it's on us to recoup those funds and hold 00:39:37.316 --> 00:39:39.350 them accountable to those services. So there's a lot 00:39:41.190 --> 00:39:43.521 of work because they can go to the federal government for the funding that they gave us. So 00:39:45.570 --> 00:39:46.724 we reported on that and you're right, there are winners and 00:39:48.727 --> 00:39:50.494 losers but we get the funding about half of the applications 00:39:52.465 --> 00:39:54.699 that came in so that's exciting. There's 34 organizations that five 00:39:56.368 --> 00:39:59.300 organizations that will receive funding. So basically we're a pastor because that question 00:39:59.939 --> 00:40:02.473 always comes up who has the due diligence to make sure that they do it and you know I mean 00:40:03.943 --> 00:40:05.677 do we have staff and resources to ensure that it gets done? 00:40:08.281 --> 00:40:10.248 Yes. So we will do that. Ok, thank you. This is one time 00:40:11.784 --> 00:40:13.318 money, right? This is one time for these nonprofit 00:40:15.488 --> 00:40:17.488 organizations. Yes, it is ok, 00:40:19.892 --> 00:40:21.892 I'm happy missed this. Had the 00:40:22.361 --> 00:40:24.195 deliverables already been determined so they submitted an 00:40:26.666 --> 00:40:28.666 application with what they 00:40:30.370 --> 00:40:32.104 wanted the money for ok and so for instance we'll take 00:40:34.274 --> 00:40:36.808 emergency food bank they requested a lot of funding they've seen they've doubled 00:40:38.811 --> 00:40:40.512 their their output. We're not giving them full funding so 00:40:42.749 --> 00:40:44.749 then we can ask to supply as 00:40:46.386 --> 00:40:48.854 much of the deliver as said they want an application because we did not give them 00:40:50.570 --> 00:40:51.824 the full funding. So after approval today we will go back 00:40:53.794 --> 00:40:55.527 and say great your proof for this much given what you said 00:40:58.310 --> 00:40:59.898 in your application, how much of that will you be able to do 00:41:01.869 --> 00:41:03.737 with the funding available? These frankly are common sense 00:41:05.973 --> 00:41:07.807 and kind of discretion. Ok, does that make sense? Canada 00:41:10.100 --> 00:41:11.878 the right ok and then I mean clarify with me for me again 00:41:13.113 --> 00:41:15.113 the process of determining the 00:41:17.651 --> 00:41:19.651 allocation amounts for the 00:41:21.722 --> 00:41:23.557 recipients. Sure. So a lot of that is looking deeply into 00:41:25.826 --> 00:41:27.694 the applications that they're going to do what they ask for 00:41:29.196 --> 00:41:30.930 and trying to figure out how to divide two point seven dollars 00:41:33.267 --> 00:41:35.267 into the the highest ranking 00:41:36.871 --> 00:41:38.839 applications. So some of it is what they asked for in terms 00:41:40.808 --> 00:41:42.476 of ok, we want to take that stuff to the symphony for 00:41:43.511 --> 00:41:45.345 example. They wanted to have I three or four events that 00:41:47.615 --> 00:41:50.450 wasn't feasible to fund all them. So we looked at our budget can they do one? We're 00:41:52.219 --> 00:41:54.188 still fully funded for one we tried to eke out as much as we 00:41:55.423 --> 00:41:57.158 could so they could do a portion of that. So we again 00:41:59.160 --> 00:42:00.761 reviewed in depth the team and economic development to 00:42:03.980 --> 00:42:05.980 determine what made sense. So 00:42:06.767 --> 00:42:09.536 my colleagues brought up the fact that a lot of us received correspondence from sister 00:42:11.407 --> 00:42:13.407 cities organization. I think we 00:42:14.276 --> 00:42:16.276 all expressed a level support 00:42:18.146 --> 00:42:20.114 for the cities with that being with that being said, I know it 00:42:22.184 --> 00:42:24.184 was mentioned that should there 00:42:25.553 --> 00:42:28.155 be any of these applicants that don't pan out and there's additional funds left over to 00:42:30.426 --> 00:42:32.426 bring to allocate that right. I 00:42:34.830 --> 00:42:36.830 think we want to make that that 00:42:37.433 --> 00:42:39.433 clear that we would like to see 00:42:40.903 --> 00:42:42.937 that for the sister cities as you go through, you know, your 00:42:44.806 --> 00:42:46.608 formula to make that determination. But my question 00:42:48.811 --> 00:42:50.811 is because another option is is 00:42:52.815 --> 00:42:54.549 council right now we can we can deliberate on these allocated 00:42:57.219 --> 00:42:59.219 amounts and make adjustments 00:43:00.689 --> 00:43:02.323 right now and improve emersion with specific amendments, 00:43:05.940 --> 00:43:07.620 correct? Absolutely. It's ok. So with that being with no with 00:43:09.650 --> 00:43:10.999 that being said though I think this is important to understand 00:43:12.702 --> 00:43:14.969 is that if that's an option for us as council we need to be 00:43:16.539 --> 00:43:18.539 provided with information to be 00:43:19.608 --> 00:43:21.744 able to make those types decisions in. My question is 00:43:24.314 --> 00:43:26.182 why wasn't the application or any scope or summary of the 00:43:28.251 --> 00:43:30.251 application included in the 00:43:31.721 --> 00:43:33.589 documents here so that we can consider that option that we 00:43:36.359 --> 00:43:38.359 have as a council? Sure, the 00:43:39.830 --> 00:43:41.898 six to nine applications takes up to file boxes of information 00:43:44.468 --> 00:43:46.468 so it's in my opinion it's not 00:43:46.937 --> 00:43:48.771 feasible to attach that to something that would be printed 00:43:51.641 --> 00:43:54.109 out for your view if you would like to review the applications on individual ones that's 00:43:55.412 --> 00:43:57.380 available, it could be requested. But I would also say 00:43:59.483 --> 00:44:01.351 that you asked staff to do this. This is an operational 00:44:03.520 --> 00:44:05.520 function, their wishes. So 00:44:06.290 --> 00:44:08.791 we've provided a summary if you would like to look at the applications individually those 00:44:10.961 --> 00:44:12.662 could be provided for you to see where we're going to see 00:44:14.399 --> 00:44:16.399 them. I'm just reiterate what 00:44:17.869 --> 00:44:19.636 the director stated we can we can make available anything 00:44:20.905 --> 00:44:22.905 that you would like to review 00:44:26.100 --> 00:44:28.100 at any time. Let us go back in 00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:31.147 terms of planning for the future to see what might make 00:44:33.218 --> 00:44:35.152 the most sense in terms of making certain that you have 00:44:37.589 --> 00:44:39.589 the greatest insight on what's 00:44:41.492 --> 00:44:43.492 been submitted to sort of get 00:44:44.962 --> 00:44:46.896 back to you with maybe a slight modification to the process in 00:44:49.635 --> 00:44:51.635 the past if I'm not mistaken, 00:44:52.700 --> 00:44:54.105 there have been like an excel file or something similar the 00:44:56.908 --> 00:44:58.609 kind ranked what was funded and then what ended up not being 00:44:59.110 --> 00:45:01.110 funded. I've seen that I feel 00:45:03.181 --> 00:45:04.982 like in the past community. Yeah. So maybe something 00:45:07.419 --> 00:45:09.387 similar to that we can we can do that. Yeah absolutely. And I 00:45:10.222 --> 00:45:12.924 didn't necessarily like completely bringing in a bunch of boxes in years. Yeah not 00:45:14.893 --> 00:45:16.560 feasible. What an excel sheet the maybe has like kind 00:45:18.396 --> 00:45:20.331 of what's already in here but and just a brief description in 00:45:22.935 --> 00:45:24.636 a box that might help the stuff or might help council figure 00:45:26.772 --> 00:45:28.473 out what they are doing is I think the most kind I agree 00:45:30.242 --> 00:45:32.944 with the mayor that there might is something that pops off and then you find it that you're 00:45:33.646 --> 00:45:36.213 like oh I really like that. I wish that you know, that kind of falls within you know 00:45:37.182 --> 00:45:39.250 something I've been fighting for and would like to see you 00:45:41.120 --> 00:45:43.120 get funded. Yeah. And my my 00:45:45.191 --> 00:45:47.580 point of questioning was not that I don't support these 00:45:49.528 --> 00:45:51.296 organizations and I don't support the allocations. Ok, my 00:45:53.132 --> 00:45:54.966 point of questioning is one of transparency. Yes. The 00:45:57.269 --> 00:45:58.971 public into like I said at the beginning this is one time 00:46:00.773 --> 00:46:02.773 yeah. And it's absolutely 00:46:04.577 --> 00:46:06.211 critical that we get this right for the community because 00:46:08.281 --> 00:46:10.816 there's no guarantee that we are going to get two point seven million dollars a year 00:46:11.985 --> 00:46:13.685 next year to be able to provide for these organizations that 00:46:15.722 --> 00:46:17.722 are doing great work in our 00:46:19.426 --> 00:46:21.426 community just to another point 00:46:24.130 --> 00:46:26.130 there we as we look at the list 00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:29.101 of of recommendations we intentionally made it very 00:46:30.904 --> 00:46:32.904 youth centric. At least 75 00:46:34.374 --> 00:46:36.309 percent of the recommended funds would go towards some 00:46:38.178 --> 00:46:40.178 aspect of supporting youth 00:46:42.783 --> 00:46:44.483 activities that's very public that that's a priority that 00:46:46.720 --> 00:46:48.720 this council set back in back 00:46:49.456 --> 00:46:51.358 in MARCH. And so this is another step in fulfilling our 00:46:54.729 --> 00:46:57.300 commitment as a council to the people of stockton by prioritizing. So I thank the 00:46:59.660 --> 00:47:00.733 staff for taking the initiative to make sure that it was 00:47:06.807 --> 00:47:08.807 weighted in such a manner 00:47:21.689 --> 00:47:23.689 that 00:47:26.795 --> 00:47:29.530 that question ok said look, I work with them. Yes. Yes 00:47:29.998 --> 00:47:31.998 neverland's yeah. That's right. 00:47:35.270 --> 00:47:37.270 Yes, that's it. Yes. Motion 00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:41.400 passes five tisia the ones that 00:47:42.544 --> 00:47:44.378 recused herself. Thank you. Can be that council member warmsley 00:47:46.381 --> 00:47:48.381 now that she can come back into 00:47:52.820 --> 00:47:54.688 the chambers please . Yeah 00:47:59.727 --> 00:48:01.727 that's 00:48:32.628 --> 00:48:34.628 right 00:48:53.416 --> 00:48:55.416 . I've been 00:48:57.587 --> 00:48:59.587 thirteen and you should never 00:49:01.742 --> 00:49:03.143 and he said we'll move on item fourteen unfinished business there isn't any move on to item 00:49:04.227 --> 00:49:06.261 fifteen new business won a promotion no way to award a 00:49:08.164 --> 00:49:09.898 professional services contract to revise for the redesigned 00:49:12.836 --> 00:49:14.570 development implementation hosting and maintenance of the 00:49:16.390 --> 00:49:18.390 city of stockton website staff 00:49:19.609 --> 00:49:21.944 you have the floor to present clinical community relations officer with the city 00:49:24.614 --> 00:49:26.614 of stockton and this is going 00:49:27.985 --> 00:49:30.419 to present a recommendation to enter into an agreement with a vendor to update modernize 00:49:31.455 --> 00:49:33.455 hosten maintain the city 00:49:38.795 --> 00:49:40.795 of stockton. Make sure I push 00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:47.360 yeah way 00:49:47.972 --> 00:49:49.972 . So this is an that I 00:49:50.410 --> 00:49:51.875 will personally my entire career with the city that's 00:49:54.545 --> 00:49:56.446 eighteen years. If not take a lot for me to convince you that 00:49:58.415 --> 00:50:00.415 the city's website needs to be 00:50:05.123 --> 00:50:07.123 replaced. Ok I considered it 00:50:09.227 --> 00:50:10.994 I'm just absolutely that page that said exhibit a but I 00:50:12.163 --> 00:50:14.531 couldn't choose just one page. So in a word our website is on 00:50:16.700 --> 00:50:18.700 our website has to project who 00:50:20.500 --> 00:50:21.939 we are and help us tell our story and it should reflect the 00:50:23.942 --> 00:50:26.110 city that we're going to be and that would be a modern vibrant 00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:31.140 city responsive to the needs of our community. That's who we are and that's what it should 00:50:32.583 --> 00:50:34.583 reflect. The current site was 00:50:36.554 --> 00:50:38.554 rolled out in early 2011 but it 00:50:39.525 --> 00:50:41.392 was primarily designed in 2010 and the home page and police 00:50:43.461 --> 00:50:45.461 department pages were updated 00:50:55.620 --> 00:50:57.190 over six years ago. So the technology perspective that's light years in the past again. 00:51:01.714 --> 00:51:03.848 Ok, I'll get it. See technology .So what has changed during 00:51:05.170 --> 00:51:07.151 the lifespan of the city's website? Well, let me take you 00:51:09.421 --> 00:51:11.421 back to 2010 websites used left 00:51:12.892 --> 00:51:14.859 column navigation, lots of text and the click here was just 00:51:16.929 --> 00:51:19.431 about everywhere on the website to indicate you need to navigate to yet another page to 00:51:21.434 --> 00:51:23.969 get the information you are seeking. So if you think back to the technology that maybe 00:51:25.838 --> 00:51:27.838 you are using in 2010 we were 00:51:28.507 --> 00:51:30.909 all learning at that time that safi's and we were beginning to binge watch our favorite 00:51:33.379 --> 00:51:35.379 television shows that we 00:51:36.849 --> 00:51:39.418 recorded maybe even on tv in the lifespan of the city's website we've gone from using 00:51:40.520 --> 00:51:43.210 those to smartphones these the things that we want for from the seller to and waiting for 00:51:44.891 --> 00:51:47.158 them to be shipped to. Now we get overnight delivery of things that we ordered 00:51:48.829 --> 00:51:50.529 online and we thought at that time the clouds just brought 00:51:52.432 --> 00:51:54.199 rain or inclement weather. But now we know that there's 00:51:56.369 --> 00:51:58.369 storage for our data so that 00:52:00.139 --> 00:52:02.507 even then we didn't know that we'd be asking a personal assistant to dial the phone 00:52:04.143 --> 00:52:06.143 text, look up fun facts or you 00:52:10.918 --> 00:52:12.585 can set a timer for us . So lots 00:52:14.354 --> 00:52:16.322 of things have changed in in the years since we updated our 00:52:18.792 --> 00:52:20.526 website there are a lot of challenges with our current 00:52:22.296 --> 00:52:24.164 site. I listed the top ten right here. Most people today 00:52:26.634 --> 00:52:28.634 are using a mobile device to 00:52:30.103 --> 00:52:32.572 navigate for online services or access information and our current website doesn't really 00:52:33.674 --> 00:52:35.508 handle this very well. Most importantly, we need a site 00:52:37.744 --> 00:52:39.744 that displays as secure meets 00:52:41.416 --> 00:52:43.830 eighty-eight requirements and accessibility standards and 00:52:45.153 --> 00:52:47.854 provides language translations .These are really important to our community a very important 00:52:50.124 --> 00:52:51.891 test and need it to be able to support other applications that 00:52:54.161 --> 00:52:56.161 we have and provide us with an 00:52:57.231 --> 00:52:59.800 analytics so we can continue to update our website on an ongoing basis and that will 00:53:00.802 --> 00:53:02.802 help us respond to the needs 00:53:04.906 --> 00:53:06.906 of our community. So that leads 00:53:08.776 --> 00:53:10.377 us to the solution through a year long process that 00:53:12.113 --> 00:53:14.470 ultimately led to recommend revised software systems as the 00:53:16.510 --> 00:53:18.819 best solution to meet our needs .We issued a request for information in twenty twenty 00:53:20.889 --> 00:53:22.656 one and determined the vendors estimated cost and determined a 00:53:25.426 --> 00:53:27.127 vendor who could address our top priorities that you see 00:53:28.863 --> 00:53:30.497 listed here and our goal is to find a vendor that could 00:53:31.466 --> 00:53:34.269 address these requirements including hosting our site and vendor that had a lot of local 00:53:36.138 --> 00:53:37.872 government experience because that was really important that 00:53:39.675 --> 00:53:41.575 they understand what we do. An rfp was an issue with responses 00:53:44.130 --> 00:53:45.813 due in MAY of 2010 to and we put together an evaluation team 00:53:47.582 --> 00:53:49.750 with representatives from city manager's department information technology 00:53:51.821 --> 00:53:53.521 department, community services community development and the 00:53:55.758 --> 00:53:57.758 stockton police department. So 00:53:58.427 --> 00:54:00.995 our team is recommending revise a company that meets these requirements and provides an 00:54:03.732 --> 00:54:06.660 easy to use to for making changes and updates to the website and it also then 00:54:07.770 --> 00:54:09.770 supports images and video 00:54:14.210 --> 00:54:16.278 content on the website as well .So I mentioned to you that 00:54:18.381 --> 00:54:20.115 this particular vendor has lots of local government experience. 00:54:22.384 --> 00:54:24.118 They maintain and host websites of across the nation and in 00:54:26.623 --> 00:54:29.224 california they have several customers and so we have a quick one minute video that 00:54:31.194 --> 00:54:32.928 kind of takes you through a few of these sites that we wanted 00:54:34.970 --> 00:54:35.797 to go ahead and just show you some of their product that's 00:54:38.100 --> 00:54:40.435 out there today and we'll have some of these same options in terms of features and 00:54:42.272 --> 00:54:44.272 functionality when we sit down 00:54:45.575 --> 00:54:47.610 with them to design our site so we have more than watch that 00:54:52.949 --> 00:54:54.783 with video. It's one minute. So you'll see first up here the 00:54:56.753 --> 00:54:58.554 city of monterey and you see that they have some selected 00:55:00.257 --> 00:55:02.910 some buttons down the side to display their content. They 00:55:04.762 --> 00:55:06.496 have a section that lists the latest news, a great 00:55:07.764 --> 00:55:09.499 calendaring section social media displays on their site 00:55:10.500 --> 00:55:12.500 looks like it's not moving to 00:55:15.720 --> 00:55:17.720 more than that. That's from 00:55:18.175 --> 00:55:20.175 their site. Yeah, so they also 00:55:25.683 --> 00:55:27.683 have the city of arcadia that 00:55:28.986 --> 00:55:30.820 they predominantly have a search tool in the middle 00:55:32.489 --> 00:55:34.857 of their website and then they the carousel of information looks like it's not not 00:55:37.328 --> 00:55:39.620 launching right. Our city of olympia, washington there's 00:55:41.465 --> 00:55:43.465 a that we call fly out menus 00:55:43.901 --> 00:55:45.969 that come from the right side that you can click on and so 00:55:47.538 --> 00:55:49.406 it's very interactive and actual experience. They use 00:55:52.377 --> 00:55:54.377 drone footage and again this 00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:57.880 carousel of events and that 00:55:59.150 --> 00:56:00.918 shows events and information on their website. They also work 00:56:03.387 --> 00:56:05.222 with the city of detroit. You can tell just by visiting their 00:56:07.258 --> 00:56:09.258 site that's important in their 00:56:11.163 --> 00:56:12.864 community is the weather and so those buttons are prominently 00:56:15.534 --> 00:56:17.534 displayed both to monitor the 00:56:19.437 --> 00:56:21.437 weather and to respond to it. 00:56:22.674 --> 00:56:25.376 So we also support a city of similar size st. Pete, florida and they use a lot 00:56:26.644 --> 00:56:28.644 of icons to share their stories 00:56:30.416 --> 00:56:32.217 and information. Looks like we're not going to be able to 00:56:33.986 --> 00:56:36.154 watch that video. Ok, that's ok. Let's go back to the 00:56:41.193 --> 00:56:43.193 presentation 00:56:45.698 --> 00:56:47.465 . You can check visit their sites later. 00:56:49.702 --> 00:56:51.702 They're not interactive sites 00:56:53.973 --> 00:56:56.407 so the vendor has a lot of features and functionality, some of which we already had 00:56:57.810 --> 00:57:00.445 through the other applications that we have a choice now we can determine the vendor 00:57:02.615 --> 00:57:04.383 solution is a little bit better than what we've been using. We 00:57:05.652 --> 00:57:07.652 can also use that you see that 00:57:09.222 --> 00:57:11.456 versus if you visit some of their sites they're created unique, they're 00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:14.993 attracted and then help us maintain that look and feel 00:57:17.290 --> 00:57:18.763 with communications and features and functionality that 00:57:20.567 --> 00:57:22.334 meet our needs for for example, nothing would be a secure site 00:57:24.604 --> 00:57:26.271 which is very important. I know we've all heard about that. 00:57:31.578 --> 00:57:33.578 It's vastly improved 00:57:45.459 --> 00:57:48.195 website calendaring and news center lubbock's translations with 00:57:48.195 --> 00:57:49.795 google translate supports about a hundred languages and 00:57:51.298 --> 00:57:53.298 superior display in navigation 00:57:57.838 --> 00:57:59.838 .Oh, here we go. Ok, you can 00:58:01.708 --> 00:58:03.708 see the yeah now you see it. 00:58:04.211 --> 00:58:06.145 Ok, so it's it's just a quick video that I'll walk through a 00:58:08.882 --> 00:58:10.650 few of these sites showing you that it's a more modern display 00:58:11.918 --> 00:58:14.421 that we have today with lots of everything's on the homepage and accessible. There's the 00:58:16.257 --> 00:58:18.325 city of arcadia that's searched and you can see they have 00:58:20.694 --> 00:58:22.462 information about programs and services right there on a 00:58:24.932 --> 00:58:26.699 carousel. We will have some of those same options. You can 00:58:28.535 --> 00:58:30.504 see how city of olympia, washington uses a lot of video 00:58:32.640 --> 00:58:34.640 drawn footage fly out menus 00:58:36.644 --> 00:58:38.644 there on the right and then the 00:58:40.748 --> 00:58:42.582 languages from the pull down menu and there again is more 00:58:43.651 --> 00:58:45.385 information about communities and program community programs. 00:58:47.589 --> 00:58:49.357 Des moines, iowa with the weather features there and then 00:58:51.593 --> 00:58:53.260 finally their language pull-down menu so you can 00:58:55.697 --> 00:58:57.431 change the language, have it translate for you and here we 00:58:59.601 --> 00:59:01.335 are at st. Pete obviously fun place and they can display 00:59:03.805 --> 00:59:05.573 great photos and images and again video footage they use 00:59:06.975 --> 00:59:08.975 more than icon format stories 00:59:11.647 --> 00:59:13.614 about their community and about the beginning. Ok, so go back 00:59:14.249 --> 00:59:16.249 to the presentation 00:59:19.154 --> 00:59:20.888 implementation. These are the steps of the station our site 00:59:22.758 --> 00:59:24.758 has currently about 800 pages 00:59:26.428 --> 00:59:28.129 of advice will help us move content department web team 00:59:30.566 --> 00:59:32.333 members will actually need to touch every single page and we 00:59:34.770 --> 00:59:36.537 need to go on a serious web and page diet here at the city 00:59:38.307 --> 00:59:40.341 of stockton, the city of our size should have more along the 00:59:41.577 --> 00:59:43.511 lines of that 500 pages and that's the contract is fully 00:59:45.982 --> 00:59:48.349 executed. A timeline for implementation is about anywhere from sixteen to twenty 00:59:49.852 --> 00:59:51.619 three weeks depending on the work ethic and speed at which 00:59:53.989 --> 00:59:55.989 the content and then that means 00:59:57.393 --> 00:59:59.995 that by the time the contract would be fully executed we could be looking at a new 01:00:05.134 --> 01:00:07.134 website by summer 2023. So the 01:00:08.604 --> 01:00:11.273 recommendation before this evening is to enter into a contract with revised software 01:00:13.420 --> 01:00:14.909 systems the period of five years at a total cost of one 01:00:16.747 --> 01:00:18.714 hundred ninety three thousand one hundred dollars. That's the 01:00:20.884 --> 01:00:22.618 findings supported the rfp process and authorize the city 01:00:25.210 --> 01:00:26.755 manager to take all the appropriate steps in support 01:00:28.291 --> 01:00:30.250 of this motion. If you have questions I'm happy to answer 01:00:32.529 --> 01:00:34.529 those. Thank you. Any public 01:00:35.699 --> 01:00:37.667 comments have been excellent. Kazmir rawnsley, thank you so 01:00:40.170 --> 01:00:41.837 much and thank you connie for this presentation is very 01:00:44.374 --> 01:00:46.410 insightful. I do want to just highlight some things I'm 01:00:46.876 --> 01:00:49.378 really looking forward to and looking forward to the language just justice. Yes. And 100 01:00:51.449 --> 01:00:53.449 languages. That is impressive. 01:00:54.652 --> 01:00:56.652 So I'm really excited about 01:00:58.422 --> 01:01:00.657 that and in my excitement I want you to help my anxiety. So 01:01:03.460 --> 01:01:05.460 what looking at in the time 01:01:06.530 --> 01:01:08.465 frame of completion of this transition to this new website 01:01:10.101 --> 01:01:11.835 and design and once the contract is fully executed it 01:01:14.672 --> 01:01:16.606 takes anywhere from sixteen to twenty three weeks. So I'm 01:01:18.420 --> 01:01:19.743 estimating around MAY JUNE timeframe we could be that 01:01:21.579 --> 01:01:23.379 would be on the early side but by summer definitely perfect. 01:01:25.984 --> 01:01:27.885 so valentine's day ok this is going to be a kick off. I'm 01:01:30.121 --> 01:01:31.822 just really putting it out there to the community. Our 01:01:33.758 --> 01:01:35.692 website is not user friendly at all like I have a hard time 01:01:36.661 --> 01:01:38.728 navigating through that process so I'm looking forward to this 01:01:41.399 --> 01:01:43.334 redesign with to language justice and really promote just 01:01:45.504 --> 01:01:47.504 in the community because we all 01:01:48.707 --> 01:01:50.707 have that. Thank you. Thank you 01:01:52.577 --> 01:01:55.179 .Can't remember right. So I'm glad to hear that they're going to be paying attention to the 01:01:55.847 --> 01:01:57.681 language in ada compliant shoes. Absolutely no that's 01:01:59.751 --> 01:02:01.752 very real and that we don't need to get distracted in that 01:02:04.890 --> 01:02:06.570 we just need to do it right the first time. And so there's not 01:02:07.893 --> 01:02:09.961 this issue of people coming back at us and saying we're not 01:02:11.997 --> 01:02:13.997 meeting requirements for that. 01:02:15.467 --> 01:02:17.736 So yes, very excited about that .And so this would be a 01:02:19.638 --> 01:02:21.373 complete redesign. They'll be they'll be setting up a 01:02:24.476 --> 01:02:26.476 parallel website to the one we 01:02:27.947 --> 01:02:29.914 currently have at a date certain will turn one off, turn 01:02:32.317 --> 01:02:34.317 the other one on right. And so 01:02:35.722 --> 01:02:37.556 then people will no longer have access to the legacy website, 01:02:39.592 --> 01:02:41.592 correct. Which is excellent 01:02:42.828 --> 01:02:44.763 because there are a lot of dead pages there that yeah. Not that 01:02:47.320 --> 01:02:49.000 they don't belong to anyone. They haven't been updated in 01:02:51.470 --> 01:02:53.205 years and I myself am particularly looking forward to 01:02:55.375 --> 01:02:57.109 better navigation because I think that's our biggest issue 01:02:58.478 --> 01:03:00.212 right now, especially with those people that use mobile 01:03:03.516 --> 01:03:05.516 phones and at least stopped and 01:03:06.180 --> 01:03:08.720 there's an app for that. But a lot of the other issues it's very difficult to read a full 01:03:10.891 --> 01:03:12.891 page read page on a phone. So 01:03:14.794 --> 01:03:16.794 revising so with mobile phone 01:03:17.697 --> 01:03:19.665 use in mind is a great idea and I'm excited to be close to my 01:03:22.435 --> 01:03:24.435 birthday as well. So it's not a 01:03:25.538 --> 01:03:27.538 birthday gift to me to me but 01:03:29.710 --> 01:03:31.710 we'll have the same domain. 01:03:32.379 --> 01:03:34.130 Yes, do the same that explanation and you know, 01:03:36.583 --> 01:03:39.318 generally do that kind stuff in the middle of the night. We did that the first time that I was 01:03:40.870 --> 01:03:42.870 involved in the redesign back 01:03:44.158 --> 01:03:46.559 in 2010 and they're going to they're actually going to maintain the website for us 01:03:47.595 --> 01:03:49.462 that we would be responsible for the content so that they 01:03:52.666 --> 01:03:54.334 will actually make sure that we that we're adhering to the 01:03:56.170 --> 01:03:57.904 current standards for accessibility and you'll have 01:04:00.808 --> 01:04:02.808 access to make those content 01:04:04.812 --> 01:04:06.747 updates. Absolutely. Just as we do today, each department is 01:04:08.616 --> 01:04:10.984 responsible for updating their own websites and they'll have a tool that the developer 01:04:12.653 --> 01:04:14.487 actually the vendor develops an app for us it's a content 01:04:16.690 --> 01:04:19.359 management system app that we use and then they hand the 01:04:21.630 --> 01:04:23.630 rights to that great idea group 01:04:27.669 --> 01:04:29.669 second 01:04:31.406 --> 01:04:33.406 with I second release 01:04:35.876 --> 01:04:37.876 because this kind of yes that's 01:04:39.448 --> 01:04:41.448 that yes. Neverland's yeah 01:04:42.451 --> 01:04:44.451 that's my employee. Yes that's 01:04:46.321 --> 01:04:48.455 right. Yes. Yes. She passes thanks man. So that he being 01:04:50.125 --> 01:04:52.793 upset. Thank you. I didn't thank you I didn't fifteen point two discussion regarding 01:04:54.530 --> 01:04:56.530 the establishment of a 01:04:58.233 --> 01:05:00.233 commercial vacancy ordinance 01:05:01.703 --> 01:05:03.404 that some of my attorneys general mcdonough the police 01:05:05.374 --> 01:05:07.374 services administrator for the 01:05:11.848 --> 01:05:13.348 stockton police department get 01:05:17.153 --> 01:05:18.920 this right. So I'm here tonight to talk to you about the 01:05:20.355 --> 01:05:21.990 business side of relating to establishing a commercial 01:05:23.358 --> 01:05:25.358 vacancy registration program. 01:05:27.663 --> 01:05:29.663 So about that on this this 01:05:31.734 --> 01:05:33.502 ordinance was the request of the city council legislative 01:05:35.238 --> 01:05:37.873 and environmental committee with the goal of establishing a property registration program 01:05:39.775 --> 01:05:41.775 for vacant buildings. Owners 01:05:43.179 --> 01:05:45.847 would be required to register thirty days after the building has become vacant and a 01:05:47.917 --> 01:05:49.652 property is considered vacant after greater than 50 percent 01:05:51.721 --> 01:05:53.455 of commercial units in the building have been unoccupied 01:05:55.725 --> 01:05:57.426 for 180 days. The city attorney's office has drafted 01:05:58.328 --> 01:06:00.328 in addition to title fifteen 01:06:02.231 --> 01:06:04.231 of the snc for this purpose 01:06:06.703 --> 01:06:09.372 some key observations as of today we are estimating that there are approximately to the 01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:12.508 fifty vacant commercial properties within the city 01:06:14.744 --> 01:06:16.478 of stockton a potential such as this would be housed in the 01:06:18.582 --> 01:06:20.249 neighborhood services section. Our team does administer 01:06:22.420 --> 01:06:24.154 similar programs such as the vacant property program for 01:06:26.423 --> 01:06:28.423 residential the rental 01:06:29.693 --> 01:06:31.461 inspection plan hotel motel excuse me abandoned vehicle for 01:06:33.731 --> 01:06:35.531 them and also neighborhood betterment team. Some of the 01:06:37.701 --> 01:06:39.468 involved apartments thus far on this effort have the fire 01:06:42.239 --> 01:06:43.874 prevention the business license and economic development 01:06:45.643 --> 01:06:47.577 depending on how the best of the program we want to see 01:06:49.747 --> 01:06:52.115 this in the future. The enforcement approach will impact staffing requirements 01:06:57.255 --> 01:06:58.989 across the board so that the administration up to the task 01:07:01.392 --> 01:07:03.727 what we're going to do is we're going to have a database that will track the vacant 01:07:04.862 --> 01:07:06.697 commercial properties the case actions and outcomes of which 01:07:09.767 --> 01:07:11.468 currently neighborhoods this is is gathering information on a 01:07:12.536 --> 01:07:14.471 program that would meet these needs. The tasks would include 01:07:16.842 --> 01:07:18.542 such things as an initial registration with you filling 01:07:20.445 --> 01:07:22.112 in correspondence to property database administration and 01:07:24.849 --> 01:07:26.683 inspections much like the similar tests that we currently 01:07:28.353 --> 01:07:30.353 perform for the other programs 01:07:34.593 --> 01:07:36.962 previously mentioned . So for 01:07:36.962 --> 01:07:38.962 staff cost and estimate a 01:07:39.865 --> 01:07:42.299 program such as this require the addition of approximately five new staff members. This 01:07:43.902 --> 01:07:45.602 would include your code enforcement officers on 01:07:47.305 --> 01:07:49.139 the field, a senior code enforcement officer and a 01:07:54.580 --> 01:07:56.580 professional support staff 01:08:08.895 --> 01:08:11.564 for the day to day activities and the estimates for the required 01:08:11.564 --> 01:08:13.699 database and start up the be one hundred thousand dollars approximately and then the 01:08:13.699 --> 01:08:15.801 annual cost of approximately 15 thousand dollars. The total cost including all components 01:08:15.801 --> 01:08:17.870 to our staff, our database, our materials and supplies are postage that can range anywhere 01:08:17.870 --> 01:08:20.172 from six hundred thousand dollars to a million depending on how robust we supposed to be 01:08:20.172 --> 01:08:21.940 .Funding for this program does not exist in the current budget 01:08:23.576 --> 01:08:25.944 year but can be incorporated into the fiscal year. Twenty three twenty four budget 01:08:29.649 --> 01:08:31.649 request which brings us to our 01:08:33.253 --> 01:08:35.200 present situation. As we all know, neighborhood services is 01:08:36.856 --> 01:08:38.690 responsible for enforcing stockton code. A main 01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:42.928 component of this main impact of this program would be on the 01:08:43.797 --> 01:08:45.664 neighborhood services team a critical component for the 01:08:48.134 --> 01:08:49.835 successful implementation is the need for training staff 01:08:52.720 --> 01:08:54.106 just a tidbit of information on average during the 21 22 fiscal 01:08:56.576 --> 01:08:58.176 year of the twenty one approved code enforcement officer 01:09:00.681 --> 01:09:02.681 positions we had budgeted we 01:09:03.684 --> 01:09:05.718 only had ten filled but with that we still managed to 01:09:07.387 --> 01:09:09.855 cover thirteen thousand five hundred fifty five cases which averages to about one thousand 01:09:11.625 --> 01:09:13.526 three fifty cases per officer. But over the years we found 01:09:15.562 --> 01:09:17.263 that effective case management code enforcement officers on 01:09:19.333 --> 01:09:21.670 the other handling nine hundred and fifty and so that equates 01:09:23.700 --> 01:09:25.700 to the team at that time about 01:09:26.540 --> 01:09:28.540 forty one percent as it's no 01:09:30.310 --> 01:09:32.110 secret pd is struggling with the staffing for quite some 01:09:34.582 --> 01:09:36.582 time now that that's in there 01:09:37.652 --> 01:09:40.353 on various platforms and the do still continue to see the applicant post along with the 01:09:45.793 --> 01:09:47.793 natural attrition. So that's 01:09:49.964 --> 01:09:52.333 it's which brings us to the recommendation. So it's recommended that city council 01:09:53.702 --> 01:09:55.436 postpunk consideration of the draft ordinance into a 01:09:56.905 --> 01:09:58.705 comprehensive needs assessment has been completed. Public 01:10:01.209 --> 01:10:02.976 outreach has been completed and neighborhood services is fully 01:10:05.746 --> 01:10:07.746 staffed and that concludes my 01:10:08.716 --> 01:10:10.651 presentation. I'm happy to any questions as it relates to 01:10:12.320 --> 01:10:14.540 budgeting of this program the police department's budget for 01:10:16.458 --> 01:10:18.993 any technical type questions? I do have some presence here from the community development 01:10:21.620 --> 01:10:22.996 economic one and I couldn't make it quick. Do you have any 01:10:24.966 --> 01:10:26.966 public comment? Do you have the 01:10:31.406 --> 01:10:33.406 comment from the 01:10:35.744 --> 01:10:37.744 again my 01:10:39.648 --> 01:10:41.849 fontanella I'm the executive director of the county historical. I'm also a 01:10:43.819 --> 01:10:45.687 historian concerning a lot of issues and stopped in in the 01:10:47.156 --> 01:10:49.156 history of the delta valley. 01:10:51.460 --> 01:10:53.460 One major barrier to success 01:10:54.330 --> 01:10:56.130 between galt and mirsad and stockton as an epicenter 01:10:58.330 --> 01:11:00.601 of this is staffing any small apartments and you don't need to hear that because you don't 01:11:02.605 --> 01:11:04.605 know it more than most. I think 01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:08.243 that when it comes to whether neighborhood services or community or community 01:11:09.645 --> 01:11:11.645 development or public works, a 01:11:13.115 --> 01:11:15.183 lot of departments at the city level but also in the different 01:11:17.653 --> 01:11:19.387 counties have serious struggles in staffing for programs that 01:11:21.524 --> 01:11:23.258 are that are pretty critical. I know this firsthand because my 01:11:24.127 --> 01:11:26.462 dad is the deputy and oftentimes acting director of community development for 01:11:29.980 --> 01:11:31.980 the county and so and it's hard 01:11:32.335 --> 01:11:34.436 to get mission-critical because I think a lot of departments 01:11:36.873 --> 01:11:38.641 across the cities and counties in this region are starting to 01:11:40.177 --> 01:11:41.944 not be able to produce and get their own work done right. And 01:11:44.140 --> 01:11:45.715 in the case the numbers that we just heard are really scary. 01:11:47.951 --> 01:11:49.585 Right. And when you have an unproductive and unhealthy 01:11:51.154 --> 01:11:53.756 workplace environments that ends up having a really negative impact on the quality 01:11:54.992 --> 01:11:56.992 of work and our citizens and 01:11:58.295 --> 01:12:00.129 our public deserve the best. So just a historical example 01:12:02.299 --> 01:12:05.340 of what a lot of other regions across the country will do in this. I think it would be 01:12:06.370 --> 01:12:08.771 really cool the city of stockton led initiative especially from the standpoint 01:12:10.607 --> 01:12:12.909 of like the city council in reaching out to other government agencies across the 01:12:14.145 --> 01:12:15.979 county and potentially trying to create a program like a 01:12:17.848 --> 01:12:19.582 pipeline program with europe where the universities around 01:12:21.785 --> 01:12:23.753 here I don't know it's already been done. But I can tell you, 01:12:25.489 --> 01:12:27.790 you know, I'm in contact with community services and community development at the 01:12:29.828 --> 01:12:31.695 city and county all the time for my work and it's getting to 01:12:34.599 --> 01:12:36.333 mission critical and I think that you have a policy here 01:12:37.100 --> 01:12:39.100 that's not even whether it's 01:12:40.771 --> 01:12:42.771 viable or not viable or good 01:12:45.142 --> 01:12:46.843 idea or bad idea. You can't even implement it because the 01:12:47.679 --> 01:12:50.114 staff is already overworked and I think that that's a serious problem and something that 01:12:52.500 --> 01:12:53.717 should give the city council pause because if you can't 01:12:56.870 --> 01:12:58.870 staff your department's that's 01:12:59.457 --> 01:13:02.259 the barrier to success then and we've got a real problem that needs to be addressed. So I'm 01:13:04.263 --> 01:13:05.997 just speaking to to the community if it would be 01:13:08.200 --> 01:13:10.670 possible for the city to lead on this issue, I think it would 01:13:11.803 --> 01:13:13.803 go a long way towards helping 01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:17.600 this region. Thank you. Thank 01:13:19.410 --> 01:13:21.410 you. COUNCILMAN Rockhampton. I 01:13:22.782 --> 01:13:24.649 had the vacancy savings. There's a lot of people where's 01:13:27.119 --> 01:13:29.119 that going? It stays within it 01:13:29.788 --> 01:13:31.756 department talking about we just we just committed some for 01:13:33.725 --> 01:13:36.527 public safety contracts. I mean was that part of this or because I want to clarify that 01:13:38.497 --> 01:13:40.497 for that's going to come before 01:13:41.667 --> 01:13:43.501 you call I think the next council meeting when we do the 01:13:45.371 --> 01:13:47.371 year close out we vacancy 01:13:49.842 --> 01:13:51.543 savings is a part of that discussion. She wouldn't she 01:13:53.278 --> 01:13:55.380 wouldn't be involved in that. That would be a cfo item. No, 01:13:56.115 --> 01:13:58.830 I'm just curious because I'm to test for the staff cost. Yes. 01:14:00.954 --> 01:14:02.654 We have 11 vacancy. Obviously you can absorb some of that 01:14:05.525 --> 01:14:07.225 into the budget. I mean in some of those folks you would have 01:14:09.280 --> 01:14:11.280 the intent absolutely necessary 01:14:13.934 --> 01:14:15.701 because it would be a part of the discussion when we bring 01:14:19.105 --> 01:14:21.140 the year and close to that would be one component of the 01:14:23.510 --> 01:14:25.510 surplus number. So the main 01:14:26.980 --> 01:14:29.281 obviously reason why this came forward is obviously the blighted properties in the 01:14:30.149 --> 01:14:32.840 fires that we have had with the problems and so what is that 01:14:34.555 --> 01:14:36.322 better use that kind of person in person, you know, lightening 01:14:38.191 --> 01:14:39.859 the load for other folks or you know, doing something like 01:14:42.495 --> 01:14:44.495 this? You that as a secondary 01:14:46.599 --> 01:14:48.599 function, you know that's a 01:14:50.104 --> 01:14:52.104 public policy discussion in 01:14:54.208 --> 01:14:56.208 terms which which neighborhood 01:14:56.810 --> 01:14:58.810 services function is more 01:15:01.315 --> 01:15:03.716 important than the other. So I wouldn't really know how to answer that. I think that's a 01:15:03.984 --> 01:15:05.984 conversation that needs to be 01:15:07.888 --> 01:15:09.923 had. Yes. And we can do that at upcoming. Well, we're going to 01:15:12.260 --> 01:15:13.960 MISS You at that meeting but we can still take it out and 01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:16.863 that's one of the purposes of the the annual council 01:15:19.990 --> 01:15:20.833 primary goal setting workshop planning workshop is to talk 01:15:23.303 --> 01:15:25.303 about things like this. Thank 01:15:27.608 --> 01:15:29.443 you councilor joe brett together. I think just in 01:15:31.512 --> 01:15:33.512 looking and looking at the 01:15:34.820 --> 01:15:36.116 ordinance I can't support that we don't have staff to do. I 01:15:38.319 --> 01:15:41.154 think that's that's silly. And i know that when this idea came up years ago it was a lot of it 01:15:42.724 --> 01:15:44.391 was driven by the community for exactly what what council 01:15:46.428 --> 01:15:49.296 canopies had a concern over. And I think the city has done a really good job in the last 01:15:49.931 --> 01:15:51.899 couple years of starting to fill vacancy as the market has 01:15:53.868 --> 01:15:55.602 improved. But the community is really concerned about how much 01:15:56.838 --> 01:15:58.672 vacancy there was out there in there's this belief of these 01:16:01.343 --> 01:16:03.100 this outside of stockton property owners this year 01:16:05.413 --> 01:16:07.649 everyone can picture what that person might look like and they don't really care and they're 01:16:07.649 --> 01:16:10.417 just going to leave their property vacant for whatever 01:16:13.870 --> 01:16:15.322 reason. So that's kind probably where a lot of this came from 01:16:17.827 --> 01:16:19.827 and as far as where this goes, 01:16:20.128 --> 01:16:22.398 I think it's really hard about hard to have a conversation about how to implement 01:16:22.398 --> 01:16:24.398 something like this without 01:16:25.467 --> 01:16:27.301 flushing out staffing levels and not just having levels. And 01:16:28.970 --> 01:16:30.638 I'm looking to the ordinance really understanding of the 01:16:32.240 --> 01:16:35.770 structure of how a program like this would even be funded. I think you'd want to make sure 01:16:37.790 --> 01:16:39.790 that it's not at a cost to the 01:16:40.349 --> 01:16:42.117 city is that that could spell trouble in other areas that you 01:16:44.320 --> 01:16:46.870 don't want to impact the general fund for something that 01:16:48.824 --> 01:16:50.824 you that like us. So I'm kind 01:16:51.461 --> 01:16:53.328 of with staff and it's it's hard to go through with this 01:16:55.832 --> 01:16:57.599 ordinance until we can really figure out how it would be 01:16:59.869 --> 01:17:01.869 funded and again the priority 01:17:02.105 --> 01:17:04.105 part of sessions is a place to 01:17:06.208 --> 01:17:08.710 have that conversation in the I'm wondering if there are other it sounds like this is 01:17:10.981 --> 01:17:12.648 the route that they go out with the ordinance if there was 01:17:14.417 --> 01:17:16.417 other ways less expensive ways 01:17:18.210 --> 01:17:19.955 to look at this vacancy ordinances and what other other 01:17:21.424 --> 01:17:24.590 communities have done to try to address this, I wasn't part of any legislation legislative 01:17:26.630 --> 01:17:28.564 committee who came up with the ordinance by interested in what other cities were doing was 01:17:29.933 --> 01:17:31.933 cost cost impacting ways and 01:17:33.904 --> 01:17:35.904 trying to police or or manage 01:17:37.740 --> 01:17:39.800 this. So I like where it started. Not really sure were 01:17:44.515 --> 01:17:46.449 there yet. Right. Thank you. Right on concept that is 01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:50.520 supportive of the idea of implementing something like 01:17:52.923 --> 01:17:54.923 this and I see on a daily basis 01:17:56.827 --> 01:17:58.594 with well I think the biggest example in the city of stockton 01:17:59.930 --> 01:18:01.930 is a former lance drug store 01:18:03.301 --> 01:18:05.235 pacific and hammer which has been closed for over 15 years 01:18:07.305 --> 01:18:09.873 and there's been a sniff of anyone looking to do anything at that site and at 01:18:12.109 --> 01:18:13.843 the same time it has become a hub of problems for businesses 01:18:18.983 --> 01:18:20.983 in that 01:18:33.497 --> 01:18:36.100 community. So it's it's and for businesses in that shopping center that came out 01:18:36.100 --> 01:18:38.103 and their places, no one probably about the same time period and so they are causing 01:18:38.103 --> 01:18:40.639 problems for our community. They are creating costs for our community and unless we have a 01:18:40.639 --> 01:18:42.372 program of this type never going to recoup any of those 01:18:42.874 --> 01:18:44.874 costs. And so I'll defer to 01:18:46.711 --> 01:18:48.479 staff that for obvious reasons now's not the time to move 01:18:51.820 --> 01:18:53.820 forward on this. But I want it 01:18:54.486 --> 01:18:56.421 to be on that next tier of when we're starting to hire back and 01:18:58.323 --> 01:19:00.257 we're getting people in there that that we start holding 01:19:03.161 --> 01:19:04.929 people accountable 15 years and i know there have been offers 01:19:06.598 --> 01:19:08.566 on that and every few students gus I'm talking about the loss. 01:19:11.237 --> 01:19:12.937 You know, it's I don't get the shell game that's going on 01:19:14.973 --> 01:19:16.674 there. You know, that's beyond my level of understanding 01:19:18.977 --> 01:19:20.977 of corporate finance. But but I 01:19:21.747 --> 01:19:23.381 don't know what I do know is that they're making money 01:19:25.851 --> 01:19:27.851 elsewhere at city of stockton 01:19:29.922 --> 01:19:32.390 at at a cost to the city stockton because we're the ones that have to respond to break 01:19:34.427 --> 01:19:36.427 ins. We're the ones that have 01:19:37.530 --> 01:19:39.564 to respond to fires. I mean I I'm tired of it and most of my 01:19:41.767 --> 01:19:43.767 constituents are as well. So 01:19:46.239 --> 01:19:48.400 again, so this can't be a tier one right now that it's got to 01:19:49.209 --> 01:19:51.243 be at tier one and the minute we can do this we need to do 01:19:53.646 --> 01:19:55.646 this. I sit on the league 01:19:56.916 --> 01:19:58.617 of cities housing community and economic development committee 01:20:00.720 --> 01:20:02.587 and this is a topic that comes up four times a year whenever 01:20:04.358 --> 01:20:06.192 we you know, communities are talking about how are we how 01:20:08.395 --> 01:20:10.395 can we do this because they're 01:20:11.665 --> 01:20:14.366 having the same issues we're in .So I don't want to be someone's tax write off because 01:20:15.602 --> 01:20:17.602 that creates costs to our city. 01:20:18.871 --> 01:20:20.871 Right. Just as soon as 01:20:22.776 --> 01:20:24.510 possible. That's all cast member warmsley thank you, 01:20:26.613 --> 01:20:28.613 marion. I agree with my my 01:20:29.750 --> 01:20:31.684 colleague here about the blight and these buildings that sit 01:20:34.287 --> 01:20:36.287 here for years and years and 01:20:36.656 --> 01:20:38.656 years. I drove them to a 01:20:40.795 --> 01:20:42.795 parking lot indescribable. 01:20:43.798 --> 01:20:46.232 Indescribable. But as we're talking about this and of course, you know, I 01:20:49.236 --> 01:20:50.970 understand that with and I understand the overburden when 01:20:53.273 --> 01:20:55.273 you were it's it happens with 01:20:56.444 --> 01:20:58.211 all of us. My question is why why does this necessarily have 01:21:00.181 --> 01:21:01.848 to sit in the with code enforcement and and I 01:21:04.180 --> 01:21:05.785 know, chief, that you can probably tell me the stats in 01:21:08.355 --> 01:21:10.230 your sleep but as it relates to the consequences of these 01:21:12.259 --> 01:21:14.259 buildings not being properly 01:21:16.331 --> 01:21:18.165 served are maintenance. How much is that costing the 01:21:23.905 --> 01:21:25.905 taxpayers and fire damages? 01:21:28.409 --> 01:21:30.443 Good evening. The fire chief. So yes, we went back and 01:21:32.514 --> 01:21:34.214 actually looked at a couple of other fires that we've had 01:21:35.350 --> 01:21:37.350 in the last year and those 01:21:39.540 --> 01:21:40.821 costs are very bad on average about eighteen thousand dollars 01:21:42.957 --> 01:21:45.250 per fire for three of them fire and that's something we had an 01:21:47.495 --> 01:21:49.495 average probably three or four 01:21:50.799 --> 01:21:52.667 times a year than the city and to remember that those those 01:21:54.837 --> 01:21:57.538 costs are incurred every day by the city that's part of our insurance of having a fire 01:21:59.274 --> 01:22:01.420 department and that's you're going to be on duty. We're 01:22:02.770 --> 01:22:04.211 going to pay them already and that's part of, you know, our 01:22:06.215 --> 01:22:08.583 tax base and part of having staff fire department to respond to emergencies like 01:22:10.886 --> 01:22:12.886 that. And the challenge is and 01:22:17.726 --> 01:22:20.528 I long term and that when they those attacks our resources and we have to bring in our mutual 01:22:21.563 --> 01:22:23.931 aid partners to help fight those fires because well, we have resources assigned to 01:22:25.968 --> 01:22:27.968 these incidents. We also have 01:22:29.238 --> 01:22:30.972 the emergencies are occurring within our community that we 01:22:32.975 --> 01:22:34.943 then rely on our other partners to respond to their needs. So 01:22:36.412 --> 01:22:38.279 there is an impact to the fire department. There is an impact 01:22:39.915 --> 01:22:41.915 to public safety that that's 01:22:43.987 --> 01:22:45.721 ok. And so as it relates to prevention and mitigations, do 01:22:48.391 --> 01:22:50.920 you think something of the substance, whether it's today 01:22:52.295 --> 01:22:54.295 or tomorrow would be most 01:22:55.965 --> 01:22:57.965 appropriate to house with fire 01:22:59.269 --> 01:23:01.871 code enforcement? I don't and the biggest component of that and the reason for it is the 01:23:03.507 --> 01:23:05.507 catholic fire authority and how 01:23:07.611 --> 01:23:09.378 we would interact with that they can do things is very, 01:23:11.114 --> 01:23:13.682 very narrow and it it's really just if those making buildings already have fire protection 01:23:15.485 --> 01:23:17.487 systems that's the code allows us to go in and make sure the 01:23:19.256 --> 01:23:21.724 systems are maintained and the majority of the buildings we're talking about don't have fire 01:23:22.593 --> 01:23:24.260 protection systems either be the smoke alarm fire alarm 01:23:26.330 --> 01:23:28.330 systems, the sprinkler systems 01:23:30.300 --> 01:23:32.134 .And so absent that we don't have any authority to to 01:23:34.405 --> 01:23:36.439 enforce our anything of that nature. That's why most of the 01:23:37.875 --> 01:23:39.875 best lines with the 01:23:41.979 --> 01:23:43.979 code enforcement in that area 01:23:45.949 --> 01:23:47.949 and then I just feel that you 01:23:49.853 --> 01:23:51.588 know literally how many fires that we see with vacant 01:23:53.658 --> 01:23:55.658 buildings I don't understand 01:23:57.161 --> 01:23:59.161 how we cannot as a council make 01:24:00.331 --> 01:24:02.331 this a priority and a reality. 01:24:04.235 --> 01:24:06.603 And lastly, I think that some some of these commercial buildings are taking up space 01:24:08.473 --> 01:24:10.340 place an opportunity for growth and development. You know how 01:24:12.944 --> 01:24:14.944 many areas in our city just has 01:24:16.614 --> 01:24:18.282 boarded up buildings like no one even caring what's 01:24:21.185 --> 01:24:23.185 happening are going on. I mean 01:24:24.355 --> 01:24:26.355 I'm just a little flustering 01:24:28.126 --> 01:24:30.394 with with that and I think that ,you know, we need to be 01:24:33.980 --> 01:24:35.980 working to put something in 01:24:36.568 --> 01:24:38.269 place in order to to mitigate these concerns whether it's 01:24:40.672 --> 01:24:42.306 fire rather blight or rather it's taking up space and 01:24:44.477 --> 01:24:46.444 opportunity. And then lastly as it relates to public input, I 01:24:48.113 --> 01:24:49.814 know that I was on the first conversation related to this 01:24:53.850 --> 01:24:55.850 audience so has a sulabh in the 01:24:56.588 --> 01:24:58.588 back and now you know, has 01:24:59.357 --> 01:25:01.920 there been any movement in facilitating conversations with 01:25:03.696 --> 01:25:05.696 property owners, stakeholders, 01:25:07.366 --> 01:25:09.366 community in regards to an 01:25:10.636 --> 01:25:13.400 ordinance of this magnitude? Good evening, MR. Mayor, council deputy director, 01:25:14.673 --> 01:25:17.750 community development. We've not proceeded with that formally. We really wanted to 01:25:18.544 --> 01:25:20.946 get some additional direction before we really proceeded because there's there's several 01:25:23.490 --> 01:25:25.490 directions that the city could 01:25:26.319 --> 01:25:28.319 go with this and so we have not 01:25:29.388 --> 01:25:31.122 undertaken no formal conversations to get those 01:25:33.592 --> 01:25:35.592 dialogs going at this point and 01:25:37.664 --> 01:25:39.664 that concludes my questions. 01:25:41.568 --> 01:25:44.200 And just to be clear, this is a discussion item so there's no formal action that needs to 01:25:45.939 --> 01:25:47.939 take place correct?

So 01:29:10.447 --> 01:29:12.148 there are significant adding to their employment numbers and 01:29:14.384 --> 01:29:17.190 this is their original base, right?

That's a huge 01:29:48.820 --> 01:29:50.587 area. So I'm hoping that a few living wage jobs included among 01:29:51.956 --> 01:29:53.956 those twenty quite a few most 01:29:55.326 --> 01:29:57.326 will be a certified forklift 01:29:58.997 --> 01:30:00.831 operators as well as individuals employed by our 01:30:03.735 --> 01:30:05.735 e-commerce program which trains 01:30:07.505 --> 01:30:09.505 people to go to work for 01:30:11.609 --> 01:30:13.609 amazon, shopify or any other 01:30:15.281 --> 01:30:17.150 e-commerce operation very exciting and highly supportive. 01:30:19.318 --> 01:30:21.520 It is just like you are able to provide a little more detail. 01:30:26.691 --> 01:30:28.392 Thanks.

They're the ones that want to say yes to the right 01:30:45.430 --> 01:30:47.812 malenka. Yes. That's a six year thank you I sixteen point to convene a public hearing and 01:30:49.915 --> 01:30:51.915 adopt by motion to apply for 01:30:53.520 --> 01:30:55.587 accept an appropriate gratifies from the california interagency council on homelessness for 01:30:57.590 --> 01:30:59.224 around four of the homeless housing assistance and 01:31:01.694 --> 01:31:03.495 prevention grant program and now the third of the public 01:31:06.131 --> 01:31:07.732 hearing open staff present kelly care, director 01:31:09.836 --> 01:31:11.503 of economic development. And tonight we're going to be 01:31:13.540 --> 01:31:15.540 reviewing the homeless housing 01:31:17.410 --> 01:31:19.410 assistance program run for it's 01:31:21.800 --> 01:31:22.881 on pause. There we go. So it's important to note that this is 01:31:25.319 --> 01:31:27.860 not permanent funding and it was issued as one time funding 01:31:28.488 --> 01:31:31.290 and now we're on the run for some are very excited about that but it is not permanent 01:31:32.759 --> 01:31:34.527 funding support homelessness within the city of stockton. So 01:31:36.963 --> 01:31:38.697 we're doing the best we can with the funding as it comes 01:31:40.967 --> 01:31:42.668 out on the funding to develop regional solutions to prevent 01:31:44.271 --> 01:31:46.239 and end homelessness pop one and two the funding has been 01:31:48.508 --> 01:31:50.810 allocated conventions of shelter expansions and permanent housing. There's 01:31:52.846 --> 01:31:54.714 approximately eleven million dollars that is in place right 01:31:56.316 --> 01:31:58.316 now. Three funding is pending 01:31:59.386 --> 01:32:01.421 so that's about eight million dollars in JUNE of this year 01:32:04.892 --> 01:32:06.892 you approved the local action, 01:32:07.762 --> 01:32:09.428 the local action plan for homelessness for the city 01:32:11.398 --> 01:32:13.299 of stockton which was devoted to guide the funding available 01:32:15.602 --> 01:32:17.602 for the city of stockton as up 01:32:19.754 --> 01:32:21.642 into kind of the regional plan so that plan was adopted in JUNE. We submitted the 01:32:23.444 --> 01:32:25.278 application ferhat three that application was approved in 01:32:27.381 --> 01:32:29.381 SEPTEMBER and as you MAY be 01:32:30.751 --> 01:32:33.686 aware that that funding seems to have been halted at the state level. So more to come on 01:32:35.560 --> 01:32:36.857 that but we're hopeful that we'll be able to move forward 01:32:38.693 --> 01:32:40.427 on the projects and distributing that funding when 01:32:42.397 --> 01:32:44.565 we get grants from the state and as you can tell of the 01:32:47.350 --> 01:32:48.702 funding keeps coming and a little bit faster pace is 01:32:50.638 --> 01:32:52.372 required for the state to issue around four in SEPTEMBER that 01:32:53.942 --> 01:32:55.543 application opened in SEPTEMBER prior to frankly being 01:32:57.980 --> 01:32:59.747 concluded with that three. So we're kind of on a quick pace 01:33:01.850 --> 01:33:03.584 to get the funding out in the states keeping the funding 01:33:05.420 --> 01:33:07.420 rolling. So our application 01:33:08.623 --> 01:33:10.590 deadline for hathor is NOVEMBER twenty ninth and it required us 01:33:13.262 --> 01:33:15.290 to do a review of our plan that was just approved and submitted 01:33:17.266 --> 01:33:19.000 in JUNE as well as an additional outreach which we'll 01:33:21.236 --> 01:33:23.504 talk about in a moment. So I want to talk about our established goals because I 01:33:24.573 --> 01:33:26.573 think those around the the plan 01:33:28.211 --> 01:33:29.945 is what is in question. Just as a reminder there are three 01:33:32.448 --> 01:33:34.215 funded entities within the county. The county is funded 01:33:36.385 --> 01:33:38.385 with half the county is funded 01:33:39.855 --> 01:33:41.789 with dollars and the city is funded with half dollars. We 01:33:43.826 --> 01:33:45.560 are one of 13 cities that receive funding and our 01:33:47.530 --> 01:33:49.197 requirement from the state is that we adopt the regional 01:33:51.467 --> 01:33:53.401 goals. So the city of stockton is adopting the regional goals 01:33:55.972 --> 01:33:58.573 for the county as we contribute to the success of homelessness and how we coordinate with the 01:33:59.508 --> 01:34:01.176 county this is very important. So the locally established 01:34:03.547 --> 01:34:05.547 schools for the region and this 01:34:06.549 --> 01:34:08.617 was submitted in our hape three plan and the goal was to 01:34:10.487 --> 01:34:12.254 frankly listen for plan given there was no difference between 01:34:14.991 --> 01:34:16.792 kind of the submission of three and then the districts that 01:34:19.162 --> 01:34:21.630 have worked but we believe with the guidance that we need to increase our goals so we are 01:34:22.399 --> 01:34:24.000 very respectful of those and homelessness to reduce 01:34:26.136 --> 01:34:28.637 homelessness by 15 percent, unsheltered homelessness by eight percent. That is the goal 01:34:30.941 --> 01:34:32.941 we believe to be asked to up 01:34:33.843 --> 01:34:35.878 and frankly to two hundred doing so good on this and that 01:34:37.681 --> 01:34:39.649 it's going to be hard to improve at that pace but we'll 01:34:42.119 --> 01:34:43.887 give it our best go first time policies reduce that by fifteen 01:34:45.550 --> 01:34:46.889 percent and that's something we've been doing very well 01:34:49.259 --> 01:34:51.560 already except to housing to go by 30 percent and that's something that we've had 01:34:53.630 --> 01:34:55.364 challenges with just giving. We're working at basically a 01:34:57.434 --> 01:34:59.469 functional zero vacancy in housing and the length of time 01:35:01.739 --> 01:35:03.440 of homelessness. We want to reduce that by seven percent 01:35:05.476 --> 01:35:07.243 and returns to homelessness reduced that by nine percent. 01:35:09.613 --> 01:35:11.347 So all of this is contingent on the state saying this is ok. 01:35:13.151 --> 01:35:15.180 What you're actually proving tonight will be our ability to 01:35:16.888 --> 01:35:18.755 apply for the funds received the funds and appropriate the 01:35:20.791 --> 01:35:22.626 funds into the right accounts and there are significant 01:35:24.262 --> 01:35:26.262 barriers to making more 01:35:27.932 --> 01:35:30.467 progress on the homelessness front and those include our housing scarcity which we've 01:35:32.671 --> 01:35:34.405 communicated with the state and have functional zero vacancy. 01:35:36.608 --> 01:35:38.309 We have more than 700 households that have rapidly 01:35:39.711 --> 01:35:41.711 housing available available to 01:35:43.514 --> 01:35:45.449 them that we can't place no two delays in the true low barrier 01:35:47.820 --> 01:35:49.553 shelter. We're making progress on that but it's been slower 01:35:51.390 --> 01:35:53.257 than we wanted it to be as it pertains to leasing with the 01:35:55.660 --> 01:35:57.660 state and then only recently 01:35:58.196 --> 01:36:00.931 haven't really started to become more sophisticated about our data here in the county and 01:36:02.801 --> 01:36:04.501 that really takes the regional coordination. We don't drive 01:36:06.505 --> 01:36:08.339 that in the sense that we control it. We drive with where 01:36:10.843 --> 01:36:12.843 we find and that is to spend 01:36:13.145 --> 01:36:14.879 our dollars and how we hold our citizens accountable for data 01:36:17.749 --> 01:36:19.517 and that is the true sense of where I think some of the 01:36:21.153 --> 01:36:23.522 struggles with the state comes because there's different there's different data sets 01:36:25.625 --> 01:36:27.392 floating around other states getting as sophisticated as we 01:36:30.620 --> 01:36:32.620 are in that they have their own 01:36:32.932 --> 01:36:35.700 data that's gleaned from hms and that's the data they will use to hold us accountable. 01:36:36.769 --> 01:36:38.769 We're happy that their data 01:36:40.730 --> 01:36:41.974 shows we've done so on prevention. Just as a reminder 01:36:44.177 --> 01:36:46.440 what we've already will continue to do prevention and 01:36:48.714 --> 01:36:50.682 as we saw during the pandemic was key to our success. I think 01:36:51.617 --> 01:36:53.985 it's one of the reasons we're doing as well as we are and it 01:36:55.655 --> 01:36:57.655 expanded eviction prevention 01:36:59.726 --> 01:37:01.494 services and as you the erap program with nearly 40 million 01:37:02.862 --> 01:37:04.862 dollars issued to assist five 01:37:06.332 --> 01:37:08.667 thousand two hundred families we've had interventions including economic collapse. 01:37:10.336 --> 01:37:12.170 The school along with education and we've expanded the 01:37:15.109 --> 01:37:17.543 sheltering of I think a great program is the catalyst program at the children's home in 01:37:18.846 --> 01:37:20.613 stockton recuperative care program hospital which was key 01:37:23.490 --> 01:37:24.650 during could and then the stockton shelter for the 01:37:26.553 --> 01:37:28.387 homeless expansion has ground and there is progress being 01:37:34.328 --> 01:37:36.963 made and it is strengthening so it's not just about serving the homeless, it's also about what 01:37:38.198 --> 01:37:40.198 we do in the rest of the 01:37:41.635 --> 01:37:43.336 community that supports kind of the things that surround 01:37:45.639 --> 01:37:47.507 homelessness. So I was exciting for the community building the 01:37:49.376 --> 01:37:51.945 community medical centers centers to launch. It's not directly related to 01:37:54.150 --> 01:37:55.682 homelessness to help with homelessness. The community 01:37:56.917 --> 01:37:58.618 support nurses that have issued a community support nonprofit 01:38:00.821 --> 01:38:02.955 capacity building programs. Some of us were at the launch 01:38:04.825 --> 01:38:06.559 of the united way's program earlier today and that's going 01:38:08.563 --> 01:38:10.631 to help. Twenty nine profits every year for three years and 01:38:12.901 --> 01:38:14.568 hopefully be a sustainable program and then other 01:38:15.803 --> 01:38:17.337 community response measures includes the hotsy 01:38:19.507 --> 01:38:21.341 participations, food security programs. One of our biggest 01:38:23.611 --> 01:38:25.611 issues right now is that demand 01:38:27.616 --> 01:38:29.616 on our food and emergency food 01:38:31.486 --> 01:38:33.621 bank and second harvest is meeting the demand but that is 01:38:35.490 --> 01:38:37.357 one of the issues with kind of the cost of living going up 01:38:39.227 --> 01:38:41.428 making sure we don't have people falling into homelessness because they're 01:38:43.265 --> 01:38:45.233 sacrificing food versus a place to stay. So all of these things 01:38:47.736 --> 01:38:49.470 are related to how we succeed on the business front and then 01:38:51.540 --> 01:38:53.407 as you know in the restrooms at parks, mobile showers near the 01:38:54.676 --> 01:38:56.676 laundry and services and 01:39:00.916 --> 01:39:02.916 shelter populations 01:39:15.831 --> 01:39:18.634 and to serve persons in existence and the key to solving homelessness 01:39:18.835 --> 01:39:21.300 is how do we know that? I will say I think I've said this before say it again we don't 01:39:21.300 --> 01:39:23.139 fix decades of broken housing policy just a couple of years. it's going to take us a while 01:39:23.139 --> 01:39:25.540 to get out of this and that work is building units. So you'll see in our plan we're 01:39:25.808 --> 01:39:28.143 allocating our funds but we have had some really good successes. We have sinora 01:39:30.179 --> 01:39:31.946 square under-construction town center stew's half a dozen and 01:39:32.915 --> 01:39:34.883 if we could get the money from hud we would get the other half 01:39:37.554 --> 01:39:39.288 completed turnpikes which is on the cover of this powerpoint 01:39:41.257 --> 01:39:43.125 kelleher's quitter's grant at the end of the month again we 01:39:44.994 --> 01:39:46.828 took six million definitely leveraged it for more than 01:39:49.265 --> 01:39:51.265 twenty five million to make 01:39:52.970 --> 01:39:54.604 that a possible project project for permanent supportive 01:39:56.873 --> 01:39:58.873 housing which is in our exits 01:40:00.577 --> 01:40:03.780 out of homelessness and then affordable housing again that's all related right? We have to 01:40:05.480 --> 01:40:06.815 have the units for affordable housing celebrity squares. They 01:40:08.351 --> 01:40:10.351 start greenwich village the 01:40:11.722 --> 01:40:13.890 opening of leasing in 2023 this year the statue just to name a 01:40:16.560 --> 01:40:18.560 few and says part of the happe 01:40:20.564 --> 01:40:22.365 process and what the state has asked us to do was to really 01:40:24.634 --> 01:40:26.335 take a look at and reach out to the community and collaborate 01:40:28.439 --> 01:40:30.206 with our partners. Casey lane is contracted with the city 01:40:32.276 --> 01:40:34.100 have started to help support the hot pieces and so she's 01:40:35.713 --> 01:40:37.747 going to go over a few sites data and then I'll come back 01:40:39.116 --> 01:40:41.116 and finish the presentation 01:40:45.156 --> 01:40:47.156 of casey 01:40:49.694 --> 01:40:52.290 casey development consultant to economic development on homelessness 01:40:54.899 --> 01:40:56.899 project. Thank you. I'm here to 01:40:57.902 --> 01:40:59.636 talk to you about the community planning process that we 01:41:02.600 --> 01:41:03.974 undertook for background for as well as to talk about our data 01:41:05.643 --> 01:41:07.611 and key findings. First of all, I really want to thank our 01:41:08.980 --> 01:41:11.114 partnership with the samiti csc. This was truly a regional 01:41:13.184 --> 01:41:15.184 and collaborative planning 01:41:17.255 --> 01:41:18.889 effort with heavily on the members of the continuum 01:41:20.759 --> 01:41:22.759 of care in order to help us 01:41:24.429 --> 01:41:26.429 conduct the research that we 01:41:28.166 --> 01:41:30.634 did is we looked at data and I want to emphasize I think that kerry was saying in her 01:41:32.637 --> 01:41:35.720 presentation to you is that there are multiple different data sources and as you've 01:41:36.107 --> 01:41:37.875 probably heard we have this hmas data system that takes 01:41:39.912 --> 01:41:41.713 information from all of our services and we have presented 01:41:43.549 --> 01:41:45.549 to you before on point in time 01:41:47.452 --> 01:41:49.420 count data. Look at that data. But we also looked at the new 01:41:51.289 --> 01:41:53.791 data that is being released by the state of california and that is through their homeless 01:41:55.661 --> 01:41:57.661 data information system. So 01:41:58.931 --> 01:42:01.320 that have a lot about the data that we used in this analysis 01:42:03.602 --> 01:42:05.470 but primarily it is new data that we begin to use that is 01:42:07.339 --> 01:42:09.474 from that hdi database and again it is county that it is 01:42:11.877 --> 01:42:13.877 regional in nature in order to 01:42:15.281 --> 01:42:17.983 conduct our planning process. The first thing we did was a deep dove into the data. The 01:42:19.752 --> 01:42:21.752 data was vetted and reviewed by 01:42:23.220 --> 01:42:24.789 the selassie's data and hnic committee that looked at both 01:42:27.559 --> 01:42:29.427 the state data and of our past data to validate the data that 01:42:31.698 --> 01:42:33.399 we're bringing to you and to verify that it is true and 01:42:35.135 --> 01:42:37.736 accurate to the community and the homeless service providers perception of what is going on 01:42:39.105 --> 01:42:40.873 on the ground. The second thing that we did was we took that 01:42:42.441 --> 01:42:44.176 data and they tiffiny other information to the strategic 01:42:46.746 --> 01:42:48.414 planning committee and based on the findings we asked the 01:42:50.384 --> 01:42:52.652 strategic planning committee to provide some input and recommendations and thought 01:42:54.821 --> 01:42:56.522 about what they thought we should be thinking about for 01:42:58.291 --> 01:43:00.125 round four. We also presented findings to the csc board 01:43:02.395 --> 01:43:04.830 of directors and received their interest and agreement and hoped that we would be able to 01:43:06.567 --> 01:43:09.369 share this with you city council. The final thing that we did was we met with the 01:43:10.300 --> 01:43:11.871 guest group of state. There is a danger that they had a 01:43:13.740 --> 01:43:16.342 council of guests members. We sat down and we had a fairly long conversation with them 01:43:17.711 --> 01:43:19.445 about the needs of people who are experiencing homelessness. 01:43:20.347 --> 01:43:22.481 Again, this is on the heels of being able to do prior work 01:43:24.552 --> 01:43:26.253 with individuals experiencing homelessness for around three 01:43:28.255 --> 01:43:30.857 that we did through discussion groups with people with the experience numerous discussions 01:43:32.960 --> 01:43:34.594 with people who are homeless service providers and 243 01:43:36.964 --> 01:43:38.665 interviews with people who are unsheltered homeless. Again, 01:43:40.802 --> 01:43:42.669 that was presented to you in jail for our had three planning 01:43:45.139 --> 01:43:47.139 process given the short amount 01:43:48.900 --> 01:43:49.910 of time between this request for an application was released 01:43:51.312 --> 01:43:53.847 and when it was due and the licensee of the haba three application and the planning 01:43:55.649 --> 01:43:57.817 process there they determined not to go into again that same 01:43:59.988 --> 01:44:01.689 number of details how to use the current information from 01:44:04.225 --> 01:44:05.893 this year. Are you the new information from the fda's 01:44:11.399 --> 01:44:13.399 findings so what did we learn 01:44:18.473 --> 01:44:20.875 about the irs data system so is an interesting data system compared to a point and time 01:44:23.145 --> 01:44:25.145 point in time is that when they 01:44:25.614 --> 01:44:27.614 count each looks at the year 01:44:29.484 --> 01:44:31.352 and during the course of 2021 the hmrc system is saying is 01:44:33.823 --> 01:44:35.457 that over twelve thousand seven hundred people accessed 01:44:36.825 --> 01:44:38.693 homeless related services in san joaquin county alone over 01:44:40.929 --> 01:44:42.663 six thousand verified as literally homeless during the 01:44:45.467 --> 01:44:47.467 course the year this chart and 01:44:48.770 --> 01:44:50.505 the next demonstrate the fluid of homelessness and how serious 01:44:53.900 --> 01:44:54.676 the risk is to become. The data shows that people become 01:44:56.645 --> 01:44:58.413 homeless for a variety of reasons most commonly due to 01:45:00.683 --> 01:45:02.750 job loss, evictions, disability .Is it also related to rising 01:45:04.787 --> 01:45:06.854 rents rents increasing eight percent in one in the past year 01:45:08.725 --> 01:45:11.930 between twenty twenty and twenty twenty one and as director wright mentioned 01:45:14.246 --> 01:45:17.232 vacancy rates continue to be at a functional zero. The good 01:45:19.902 --> 01:45:21.902 news is that people don't 01:45:24.600 --> 01:45:25.741 necessarily stay homeless for a long period of time. Most 01:45:28.110 --> 01:45:30.110 people find another solution, 01:45:32.215 --> 01:45:33.883 find another place to live a good chunk do not and we'll 01:45:35.351 --> 01:45:37.190 talk about that. But we don't always have the full story 01:45:39.189 --> 01:45:40.889 about how people leave our health system and that is a 01:45:42.426 --> 01:45:45.361 really big mystery and something that we still need to be diving into that the state 01:45:46.297 --> 01:45:48.300 local and regional efforts are starting to make a difference 01:45:50.330 --> 01:45:51.767 for people. Did experience homelessness in twenty twenty 01:45:54.271 --> 01:45:56.400 one compared to 2020. That's similar to the findings both 01:45:58.700 --> 01:45:59.775 through the data that you see here when you see that decline 01:46:01.946 --> 01:46:03.747 down. Let's also verified through our picart data well we 01:46:05.382 --> 01:46:07.617 started seeing decreases between 2018 and 2022 data as 01:46:10.487 --> 01:46:12.255 the that this slide shows us that there are fewer people 01:46:13.523 --> 01:46:15.523 focused on JANUARY 1st twenty 01:46:17.895 --> 01:46:19.763 twenty one compared to the same date the prior year. So that's 01:46:21.199 --> 01:46:23.199 the one thousand two hundred 01:46:24.802 --> 01:46:26.536 and sixty seven that were homeless on JANUARY 1st twenty 01:46:28.539 --> 01:46:30.306 twenty one versus up on the same day the prior year there 01:46:32.376 --> 01:46:34.177 are one thousand five hundred and thirty five people homeless 01:46:36.314 --> 01:46:38.314 now during the course of the 01:46:39.984 --> 01:46:41.752 year 2020 8000 people were served and verified homeless by 01:46:43.688 --> 01:46:45.688 the homeless system. 01:46:47.558 --> 01:46:49.558 Unfortunately the proportion do 01:46:50.561 --> 01:46:52.596 stay homeless and others who do stay homeless. More people are 01:46:55.670 --> 01:46:57.670 living unsheltered and more 01:46:57.836 --> 01:46:59.836 people are staying home longer 01:47:01.989 --> 01:47:04.942 and what we believe is that anywhere between 30 five to 40 percent of individuals are 01:47:06.177 --> 01:47:08.177 experiencing homelessness are 01:47:10.282 --> 01:47:12.116 chronically homeless and we believe that people who are 01:47:14.386 --> 01:47:16.254 living and sheltered MAY account for as many as 66 01:47:17.923 --> 01:47:19.924 percent of those experiencing homelessness at one point or 01:47:29.335 --> 01:47:31.335 another. Sorry that the data 01:47:33.172 --> 01:47:34.839 also shows differences in shelter utilization between 01:47:36.976 --> 01:47:38.976 2019 and 2022. I do want to 01:47:39.745 --> 01:47:41.779 talk to you about this because it appears that on the day 01:47:44.820 --> 01:47:45.984 of the pit count shelter services they have been under 01:47:48.988 --> 01:47:50.722 utilized. This is actually also part of what is driving our 01:47:53.393 --> 01:47:55.227 unshelled homeless numbers is that daily in JANUARY where we 01:47:57.630 --> 01:47:59.364 conducted a pit count that said I would like to remind 01:48:00.833 --> 01:48:02.833 everybody that the pit count in 01:48:04.304 --> 01:48:06.138 2022 was conducted at the height of the omicron outbreak 01:48:09.743 --> 01:48:11.743 here in our community and there 01:48:16.150 --> 01:48:18.650 were massive concerns when I talk to people who are homeless about their health and their 01:48:20.521 --> 01:48:22.388 safety and well-being that MAY have kept them from hunger that 01:48:23.857 --> 01:48:25.624 spaces. So again we look forward to seeing what evolves 01:48:30.764 --> 01:48:32.665 over time as we look at the 01:48:33.990 --> 01:48:35.990 overall though, which is 01:48:37.204 --> 01:48:39.238 of course to reduce lawlessness and shelter and shelter and get 01:48:42.409 --> 01:48:44.944 people housed. I want to talk to you a little bit about the challenges with exiting people 01:48:46.280 --> 01:48:48.447 out of homelessness as the right director wright mentioned, the biggest 01:48:50.484 --> 01:48:52.251 challenge is is housing. People are homeless because they don't 01:48:53.353 --> 01:48:55.222 have a place to live. The real solution is not a shelter good 01:48:58.292 --> 01:49:00.226 but a hud moving forward. You can see that that actually 01:49:01.695 --> 01:49:03.695 verified as opposed to 01:49:05.399 --> 01:49:07.166 permanent housing continues but we're seeing it pretty static 01:49:10.370 --> 01:49:11.771 at this time. Again, we believe that is because of housing 01:49:13.441 --> 01:49:15.275 scarcity, rising rents and zero vacancy rates. That concludes 01:49:17.311 --> 01:49:19.846 the presentation of the data and key findings perhaps more at this time. I'm going to turn 01:49:25.419 --> 01:49:27.419 it back to director 01:49:38.500 --> 01:49:40.500 to conclude 01:49:41.169 --> 01:49:43.171 the presentation. So I'm going to spend the money as much as 01:49:43.171 --> 01:49:45.606 we mentioned in JUNE. So this is a repeat but it's also required that the states have 01:49:45.606 --> 01:49:47.943 four allowable uses. Everything listed that you can spend money on is on the left. The and then 01:49:47.943 --> 01:49:50.778 the next slide where the city proposes to spend its funding you've set aside is at least 10 01:49:52.948 --> 01:49:54.982 percent do pretty well there. We're kind of excited about the 01:49:57.180 --> 01:49:58.752 trajectory of the work we've been able to accomplish with 01:50:00.455 --> 01:50:02.156 using a variety of fronts and administrative allowable uses. 01:50:04.860 --> 01:50:06.860 Seven percent. Well that's 01:50:09.640 --> 01:50:11.299 tricky. And then the state is also requiring that we demonstrate in part for 01:50:12.401 --> 01:50:14.135 underserve populations and populations disproportionately 01:50:15.704 --> 01:50:18.406 impacted by homelessness. So that's also important to take a look at just not because it's 01:50:20.208 --> 01:50:21.942 just the right thing to do that also the states are looking at 01:50:23.612 --> 01:50:25.612 how we accomplish that. So 01:50:27.316 --> 01:50:29.317 three funding allocations which we are continuing for for 01:50:32.188 --> 01:50:34.188 between the county and the cac 01:50:35.290 --> 01:50:37.859 and stockton. It is possible for us to submit one application but for all three 01:50:39.129 --> 01:50:40.796 entities that we keep our separate because we have 01:50:42.866 --> 01:50:44.566 different ways of spending the funding and that's based on 01:50:46.869 --> 01:50:48.603 what we do and and what our core strengths are. So within 01:50:50.807 --> 01:50:52.774 the funding allocation is on the left for the county in the 01:50:54.477 --> 01:50:56.477 crc as a reminder the county is 01:50:58.949 --> 01:51:00.683 the collaborative applicant so they submit on the coach's 01:51:03.153 --> 01:51:05.120 behalf and the differences in what you see on the left is 01:51:06.790 --> 01:51:08.557 around service coordination and street outreach. Most of the 01:51:11.270 --> 01:51:12.794 street outreach is being done by county programs so it makes 01:51:13.863 --> 01:51:15.565 sense that the funding is going into those two entities would 01:51:17.701 --> 01:51:19.502 focus on those spaces. Whereas for the city of stockton 01:51:21.605 --> 01:51:23.472 knowing that this is not permanent funding we want to 01:51:25.909 --> 01:51:27.777 and housing is key. We've allocated quite a bit 01:51:29.612 --> 01:51:31.612 of funding for permanent 01:51:32.483 --> 01:51:34.317 housing, getting units on line different strategies as we look 01:51:36.987 --> 01:51:38.988 at moving forward on that it takes so long to build we are 01:51:41.358 --> 01:51:43.358 looking at models where we 01:51:44.761 --> 01:51:47.363 could just go in and capture a real estate in terms of master leases and different programs 01:51:49.568 --> 01:51:51.568 that and that would be in the 01:51:52.603 --> 01:51:54.404 implementation of harp three. So just it's getting pretty 01:51:56.540 --> 01:51:58.608 hard out there to find solution and it takes so long to build. 01:52:00.644 --> 01:52:02.644 Let's just capture some things 01:52:03.914 --> 01:52:05.615 and then the overall recommendations for help for 01:52:07.952 --> 01:52:09.720 for the actual application are to maintain the investments in 01:52:11.556 --> 01:52:13.924 operations and permanent housing and shelters, expand investments and rental 01:52:15.793 --> 01:52:17.594 assistance and permanent housing as much as possible 01:52:19.197 --> 01:52:20.997 given the market and what works and invest as needed in system 01:52:23.434 --> 01:52:25.169 supports and I think where the city of stockton has been able 01:52:27.372 --> 01:52:29.372 to show strength is in driving 01:52:30.742 --> 01:52:32.509 some of that system change and system support and how we 01:52:33.845 --> 01:52:36.347 implement some of the funds. But what we're asking you tonight is to approve the 01:52:38.416 --> 01:52:40.416 updated plan that was attached 01:52:42.210 --> 01:52:44.422 to the the staff report and authorized staff to apply for accept and appropriate the 01:52:46.291 --> 01:52:48.590 funds as were approved for these funds will come back to 01:52:49.895 --> 01:52:51.729 you with a spending plan once we receive agreements from the 01:52:53.398 --> 01:52:55.398 state and that concludes the 01:52:57.602 --> 01:52:59.602 presentation. Thank you. Any 01:53:00.773 --> 01:53:02.773 public comments and the 01:53:04.643 --> 01:53:06.477 excellent customer borsa thank and thank you for this 01:53:09.381 --> 01:53:11.149 insightful presentation. I just have one question for you and 01:53:12.885 --> 01:53:14.885 all of this is convoluted. It's 01:53:16.556 --> 01:53:18.490 very difficult to manage but you say permanent housing. Are 01:53:20.359 --> 01:53:22.359 you talking about long term 01:53:23.863 --> 01:53:25.997 home ownership? What what are we talking about? So the term 01:53:28.300 --> 01:53:30.300 permanent housing and permanent 01:53:31.871 --> 01:53:33.571 supportive housing h is specific to the homeless 01:53:35.608 --> 01:53:37.409 populations meaning there is a unit with the wraparound 01:53:40.613 --> 01:53:42.381 services to keep individuals in place and the you know, the 01:53:44.651 --> 01:53:47.319 county provides a lot of those services but we have to be able to find the people to provide 01:53:48.755 --> 01:53:50.755 the services. That's where the 01:53:51.525 --> 01:53:53.693 families put those units perfect. And then in terms 01:53:55.862 --> 01:53:57.862 of the your hot recommended and 01:53:58.832 --> 01:54:00.566 this is not in alignment with the governor's executive order 01:54:02.836 --> 01:54:04.803 because I believe that that's court that in order for us to 01:54:06.973 --> 01:54:08.973 be eligible to receive this 01:54:11.450 --> 01:54:12.912 funding that our program vision objectives have to be aligned 01:54:15.382 --> 01:54:17.382 to the governor's mandate. So 01:54:18.952 --> 01:54:20.952 the governor has a department 01:54:22.789 --> 01:54:24.656 that issues this program and we follow the guidelines the 01:54:27.328 --> 01:54:29.950 department issues. There has been some information in the 01:54:30.865 --> 01:54:32.865 news but until it's on paper an 01:54:33.734 --> 01:54:36.636 issue to us, you know, I don't exactly the outcome of that is that we comply. So in other 01:54:38.639 --> 01:54:40.406 words, there hasn't been any language that has been drafted. 01:54:46.547 --> 01:54:48.547 Yeah, versus ep three. So I 01:54:50.818 --> 01:54:52.552 have three the governor had a press release that put a halt 01:54:54.488 --> 01:54:56.222 to the funding for harp three. So technically the applications 01:54:58.258 --> 01:55:00.258 are approved. Our goals are 01:55:01.229 --> 01:55:03.229 from what we understand the 01:55:05.533 --> 01:55:07.533 park we're doing good and and 01:55:09.300 --> 01:55:11.638 they requested additional information from us and all indications are when we get 01:55:13.274 --> 01:55:15.420 that additional information we should be able to move forward 01:55:17.245 --> 01:55:19.245 on agreements perhaps three and 01:55:20.315 --> 01:55:22.315 I just got those additional 01:55:24.786 --> 01:55:26.786 questions was late last week. 01:55:28.690 --> 01:55:30.457 Yeah, but we're looking at the deadline to get a response back 01:55:32.728 --> 01:55:34.695 to is this month. There was not a deadline. It was if you want 01:55:36.599 --> 01:55:38.333 to have three agreements you'll get us this information kind 01:55:40.402 --> 01:55:42.136 of situation this one question that I'm just struggling with. 01:55:43.605 --> 01:55:45.373 I think there MAY be what eight or ten or eleven questions? 01:55:47.776 --> 01:55:49.776 There's yeah, there's guidance 01:55:51.279 --> 01:55:53.347 that it's basically asking us to commit to the best practices 01:55:55.951 --> 01:55:57.686 right. Which is a little bit more than guidance. It's just 01:55:58.754 --> 01:56:00.754 one question that I just want 01:56:02.358 --> 01:56:04.358 to run by you that is a little 01:56:06.228 --> 01:56:08.196 tricky. You know, it's it concerns me from a local 01:56:10.432 --> 01:56:12.432 control perspective. So 01:56:13.703 --> 01:56:16.138 obviously we want the money and we're going to have to do something. But I'm just trying 01:56:17.840 --> 01:56:19.508 to think through how do we handle that? One particular 01:56:21.744 --> 01:56:23.512 question perhaps is something that I wanted to talk with you 01:56:25.214 --> 01:56:27.214 about there and anticipation 01:56:28.450 --> 01:56:30.286 of the the meeting coming up with the governor's office and 01:56:32.989 --> 01:56:34.656 on this and that I believe it's just going to be elected 01:56:36.693 --> 01:56:38.660 officials PRESIDENT, I just wanted to brief you on this one 01:56:40.129 --> 01:56:42.129 concern that I think folks 01:56:47.271 --> 01:56:49.171 should be focused on would there be anything preventing us 01:56:51.800 --> 01:56:52.808 from talking about the question right now? No, it's it's 01:56:58.948 --> 01:57:00.948 require it's it's de facto it 01:57:04.121 --> 01:57:06.121 would require us to basically 01:57:09.260 --> 01:57:11.260 join a aclc in the county and 01:57:15.699 --> 01:57:17.366 the city as one entity which 01:57:20.360 --> 01:57:22.360 means that we would also lose 01:57:24.341 --> 01:57:26.341 control of our manifest destiny 01:57:28.345 --> 01:57:30.313 in my view, you know, we MAY not have a choice but it's just 01:57:32.783 --> 01:57:35.218 something I'm thinking through and thinking about and it's something that I think the big 01:57:36.787 --> 01:57:38.787 thirteen should be concerned 01:57:39.624 --> 01:57:42.359 about and should raise it at that meeting I was planning to talk more about that on the 01:57:44.429 --> 01:57:46.229 side. Sure. The reason why I said bring it up now just so 01:57:47.765 --> 01:57:49.566 that the colleagues are aware of that and that's definitely 01:57:51.969 --> 01:57:53.703 there will follow is a manifest destiny concern. Yeah, because 01:57:56.308 --> 01:57:58.308 we always lose and those kind 01:57:59.878 --> 01:58:01.878 of setups. Sure sure. Ok and 01:58:02.747 --> 01:58:04.615 then my my final question there um I know that we're talking 01:58:07.685 --> 01:58:09.386 about the application on with this particular agenda item. 01:58:11.890 --> 01:58:13.890 However, as we're talking about 01:58:14.560 --> 01:58:16.194 housing and pathways for housing for unsheltered 01:58:19.640 --> 01:58:21.640 population and for residents 01:58:23.168 --> 01:58:24.835 who are shelter but don't have permanent shelters. I think 01:58:27.972 --> 01:58:29.972 that we must begin to look at 01:58:32.178 --> 01:58:33.845 residents who cannot afford to purchase a home like home 01:58:35.481 --> 01:58:37.481 ownership has to be an item 01:58:39.184 --> 01:58:41.184 of discussion of we want to 01:58:42.454 --> 01:58:44.288 talk about solving this issue because we have so many 01:58:46.958 --> 01:58:48.592 families who are you know, multiple families who are 01:58:50.496 --> 01:58:52.297 living in single housing dwellings and kind of holding 01:58:54.767 --> 01:58:56.634 up those opportunities because they cannot move to the next 01:58:59.205 --> 01:59:00.905 stop. And so although I support this application of course in 01:59:03.141 --> 01:59:04.909 the work that we do, I think at some time at some point this 01:59:06.579 --> 01:59:08.313 council is going to have a direction to talk about long 01:59:11.170 --> 01:59:13.552 term home ownership and what that looks like for the working community members here in 01:59:15.354 --> 01:59:17.322 stockton who cannot afford to purchase a house. I just want 01:59:19.492 --> 01:59:22.193 to kind of put that out there. But thank you for the hard work. Thank you to you both 01:59:23.497 --> 01:59:25.497 just for quick clarification, 01:59:26.600 --> 01:59:28.600 slide 13, the pie chart that 01:59:29.836 --> 01:59:32.538 was the breakout for three funding allocations. Yes. And it's recommended to keep that 01:59:34.374 --> 01:59:36.374 for more as well. Ok, 01:59:38.478 --> 01:59:40.478 excellent. I and just know that 01:59:44.518 --> 01:59:46.518 seventy 01:59:59.400 --> 02:00:01.902 five percent is comprised of those two pieces that pie right for the city. 02:00:01.902 --> 02:00:04.370 Seventy permanent housing and operation subsidy. Yes. Yeah yeah pretty pretty significant 02:00:04.738 --> 02:00:07.407 but necessary. Yes. You know I spent five hours this morning in sacramento with the 02:00:09.760 --> 02:00:11.100 governor's office and ceos and a couple of the policy makers 02:00:13.347 --> 02:00:15.347 um at the home ownership 02:00:16.884 --> 02:00:18.884 solutions center there and I 02:00:21.389 --> 02:00:23.389 realized throughout that that 02:00:25.393 --> 02:00:27.393 summit how much progress we're 02:00:27.895 --> 02:00:29.895 making in the city of stockton 02:00:31.865 --> 02:00:33.866 ,how focused we are and but yet how great the barriers are. 02:00:35.570 --> 02:00:37.437 Right. Like you said earlier, decades of just poor policy, 02:00:40.308 --> 02:00:42.308 you know of which is beyond our 02:00:43.911 --> 02:00:45.911 control at the city level and 02:00:46.981 --> 02:00:48.981 it's important to understand 02:00:50.952 --> 02:00:52.952 that this is one time money and 02:00:54.790 --> 02:00:56.790 we are blessed to be able to provide that one type of money 02:00:58.993 --> 02:01:00.794 to the infrastructure support that we have for homelessness 02:01:02.830 --> 02:01:04.830 and for housing and for 02:01:06.534 --> 02:01:08.201 programs. And I you know, I agree wholeheartedly that 02:01:10.239 --> 02:01:12.173 COUNCILMAN Warmsley that if there's any if there's ever a 02:01:18.280 --> 02:01:21.115 time to hit and accelerate the innovation button, you know, as far as you know what we could 02:01:22.584 --> 02:01:24.584 do within the city of stockton, 02:01:25.153 --> 02:01:27.153 not now. Now is that time. 02:01:29.224 --> 02:01:31.224 Right? I just you know, I was 02:01:32.928 --> 02:01:34.896 able to share our numbers in up there and I know how hard our 02:01:36.965 --> 02:01:38.965 staff you know, this council 02:01:40.680 --> 02:01:42.103 works and it's committed to it .But you know, over the last 02:01:42.104 --> 02:01:44.104 12 years we've had we had we've 02:01:44.540 --> 02:01:46.408 had a 10 percent population growth over the last 12 years 02:01:48.478 --> 02:01:50.478 we've eight percent growth in 02:01:52.348 --> 02:01:54.215 total households and we've had three in three and a half 02:01:56.485 --> 02:01:58.485 percent only three and a half 02:01:59.588 --> 02:02:01.723 percent growth in housing units .With that being said, our 02:02:04.194 --> 02:02:06.270 housing vacancy has declined from nine percent to four 02:02:10.133 --> 02:02:11.900 percent in the city of stockton .You're absolutely correct. 02:02:17.406 --> 02:02:19.406 It's not just about the fix or 02:02:20.477 --> 02:02:22.445 homelessness. It is about housing. But more housing is 02:02:24.481 --> 02:02:26.181 there's not only addressing homelessness right now but it 02:02:27.817 --> 02:02:29.518 is preventing it's going to prevent homelessness moving 02:02:31.821 --> 02:02:33.689 forward. Right. And so the city stockton we have partners that 02:02:36.160 --> 02:02:38.160 are meeting the needs and we 02:02:38.896 --> 02:02:41.697 have initiatives in place that are looking to expand their shelter. Thank you for pointing 02:02:44.167 --> 02:02:46.167 that out though. This is a very 02:02:50.273 --> 02:02:52.141 complex issue right in in its it is refreshing to be out 02:02:55.513 --> 02:02:57.513 there in sacramento and to know 02:02:58.816 --> 02:03:00.516 and to see how hard our city is working for our constituents 02:03:03.530 --> 02:03:05.530 housed and housed. And so just 02:03:06.523 --> 02:03:08.523 thank you for this day and you 02:03:12.964 --> 02:03:14.631 just continue for a lot 02:03:17.935 --> 02:03:19.935 of people here in close senate 02:03:21.839 --> 02:03:23.839 probably both candidates.

Is there any 02:03:46.999 --> 02:03:48.766 further information that we need to provide for public 02:03:51.200 --> 02:03:53.200 north of. Ok, or do we not 02:03:55.730 --> 02:03:57.730 that's just we just get it it 02:03:58.977 --> 02:04:00.678 sure seems to manage that that nothing further this evening 02:04:02.780 --> 02:04:04.780 there. Thank you it that's my 02:04:06.850 --> 02:04:08.850 hornsey. Hello. Hello. Hello. 02:04:10.890 --> 02:04:12.890 So let's say a couple things 02:04:12.958 --> 02:04:15.226 that I not be telling the truth and first and foremost I want 02:04:18.290 --> 02:04:19.797 to make sure that I have no fifteen point two that's going 02:04:21.801 --> 02:04:23.801 back to legislative committee 02:04:24.904 --> 02:04:26.904 to work through and work that 02:04:28.541 --> 02:04:30.275 to get to a point where it's something that's feasible. Is 02:04:32.578 --> 02:04:34.612 that correct? Yes, and for someone to kind of start off by 02:04:36.682 --> 02:04:38.382 talking about virtual participation during council 02:04:41.321 --> 02:04:43.321 meetings, I know that we have a 02:04:45.475 --> 02:04:47.475 colleague that is that today 02:04:48.600 --> 02:04:50.600 I'm not sure what how the act 02:04:52.264 --> 02:04:54.264 or there's a state mandate or 02:04:55.735 --> 02:04:57.469 that's happening. Council members are not able to 02:04:59.739 --> 02:05:01.407 participate virtually when emergencies like illnesses 02:05:04.277 --> 02:05:06.277 happen we are still, you know, 02:05:07.980 --> 02:05:09.748 experiencing covid people. This is a flu season and people are 02:05:12.180 --> 02:05:14.180 sick and so I really want to 02:05:15.222 --> 02:05:16.956 make sure that this city is taking whatever steps are 02:05:19.826 --> 02:05:21.826 necessary to ensure that we 02:05:23.496 --> 02:05:25.297 have the technology necessary to ensure that council members 02:05:27.901 --> 02:05:29.901 are able to participate in full 02:05:31.171 --> 02:05:33.171 capacity if they have the four 02:05:35.750 --> 02:05:36.943 diagnosed with covid. So I don't know how that MAY happen. 02:05:42.883 --> 02:05:44.917 So but I'm really concerned about that. Sure, sure. Carson 02:05:46.786 --> 02:05:48.786 city clerk to say the most 02:05:50.991 --> 02:05:52.991 agencies are currently still 02:05:54.361 --> 02:05:56.361 allowing the virtual hybrid 02:05:58.632 --> 02:06:00.400 leniency set forth in the leniency for the brown act with 02:06:02.669 --> 02:06:04.470 covid the city of stockton did adopt that same resolution to 02:06:07.308 --> 02:06:09.308 allow said leniency. However, 02:06:09.577 --> 02:06:11.211 our resolution incorporated an expiration date. That 02:06:14.715 --> 02:06:16.349 expiration date was I believe sometime in wednesday, 02:06:19.190 --> 02:06:21.190 SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER 28th of last 02:06:22.423 --> 02:06:24.423 year and in order to the 02:06:25.793 --> 02:06:27.528 institute that would have we then visit the emergency 02:06:30.398 --> 02:06:32.132 declaration. However, there is legislation that would be in 02:06:33.134 --> 02:06:34.968 effect come the new beginning in JANUARY I believe that will 02:06:36.871 --> 02:06:38.705 allow some more leniency in the brown act. So with regards to 02:06:40.742 --> 02:06:42.677 the council member that is out today, the location was not 02:06:44.780 --> 02:06:46.847 posted in accordance with that we are confined to the act as 02:06:48.450 --> 02:06:50.184 it stands today. So next year we'll have more leniency to 02:06:52.287 --> 02:06:54.210 allow for case by case emergencies such as that. Ok, 02:06:56.725 --> 02:06:58.725 perfect.
