THANK YOU, COUNCIL FOR INVITING US OUT HERE.
UH, THIS IS A VERY, VERY SPECIAL OCCASION, SPECIALLY FOR US AS WEST COVINA BRUINS.
UM, THIS PARTICULAR TEAM THAT WENT UNDEFEATED THE WHOLE SEASON, I THINK ONLY ONE TEAM SCORED SIX POINTS ON THEM, THE WHOLE, THE WHOLE SEASON.
BUT I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF IT IS THAT WE CONTINUE TO GROW STUDENT ATHLETES, UH, WITHOUT THE COACHING STAFF AND THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS, PUSHING THE KIDS, THE PARENTS COMING OUT, DEDICATING THEIR TIME AND BELIEVING IN OUR COACHING STAFF, BELIEVING IN OUR PROGRAM.
WE CAN NOT HAVE THE SUCCESS THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE.
UM, AGAIN, COACH NUNEZ HAS DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB WITH THE BOYS, BOYS, BOTH ON AND OFF THE COURT.
AND I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S BEYOND WORDS WOULD THE APPRECIATION THAT WE HAVE AS AN ORGANIZATION FOR THE TEAM.
UM, BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THIS QUICK.
THAT'LL PROBABLY MEANS I'M NOT, BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING.
BUT I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT MY COACHING STAFF RIGHT HERE BY FAR THE HARDEST WORKING STAFF.
AND IF I WAS BY MYSELF, I DEFINITELY WOULDN'T BE STANDING RIGHT HERE WITH, WITH THIS OR WITH THOSE METALS AROUND THOSE KIDS' NECKS AND SHOUT OUT TO ALL THOSE KIDS RIGHT THERE WHO CAME TO PRACTICE EVERY DAY.

AND IF YOU WEREN'T DOING GOOD IN SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, FOR A FACT, WE WOULD SIT YOU DOWN AT PRACTICE AND WE WOULD MAKE SURE YOU GOT WORK DONE, BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING, THIS IS FOR YOU GUYS OUT HERE.
AND I'M GLAD YOU GUYS ARE BEING RECOGNIZED BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T HAVE WON THIS WITHOUT YOU GUYS RIGHT HERE TOO.

HOW MANY SPEAKER CARDS DO WE HAVE? MAYOR? WE HAVE SEVEN SPEAKER CARDS, SEVEN SPEAKER CARDS.
AND LET'S, UH, LET'S HAVE EIGHT SPEAKER CARDS EIGHT NOW.
WE SHALL BEGIN WITH ORAL COMMUNICATIONS.
OUR FIRST SPEAKER, FRANK WILLIAMS FOLLOWED BY HERMAN FOLLOWED BY MIKE GREENSPAN, MR. WILLIAMS, OOPS.
WELL, THAT WAS AN EXCITING, UH, PRESENTATION.
AND I COME HERE WEARING SEVERAL DIFFERENT HATS, UH, NOT JUST BEING A RESIDENT AND A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, BUT A PRIDEFUL VOLUNTEER, UH, CHAIR OF THE YOUTH SPORTS COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF WEST COVINA AND A BOARD OF DIRECTOR FOR THE WEST COVINA BRUINS FOR MORE THAN 25 PLUS 24 PLUS YEARS.
UM, I'LL TELL YA, YOU KNOW, I FIRST WANT TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE, UH, CITY COUNCIL THEN MAYOR, UH, LET THE LOPEZ BEATO AND OF COURSE, ALL OF THE CONSOLE, UH, WAS THE FIRST TIME I, WE HAD ALL FIVE, UH, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR, UH, LEADERSHIP REPRESENTING, UH, AT THE CORTEZ PARK.
AND IT WAS REALLY PHENOMENAL THAT DAY TO HAVE ALL OF YOU OUT THERE.
AND WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE ANYTHING ELSE WITH THE BENZ GRATITUDE, WE GET TO SHARE A LOT AND GET TO SEE EVERYBODY AND YOU GET TO SEE ALL THE EFFORTS OF ALL THE VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE GOING, UM, YOU KNOW, DESPITE A CHALLENGING, UH, IN
[00:20:01]
2020, AND IN, IN LOT OF LEAGUES THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY, I'VE HAD A LOT OF FINANCIAL CHALLENGES AND JUST THE CHALLENGES WITH DEALING WITH COVID AND, AND THOSE FAMILIES JUST LIKE OUR OWN FAMILY, THAT'S BEEN IMPACTED WITH COVID, UH, AND THE MANY CITIZENS OF WEST COVINA WE'RE PRIDEFUL THAT IT TOOK A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT AND WORK, UH, WITH VOLUNTEERS, BUT WITH HEART AND WITH DETERMINATION, UH, THEY WERE ABLE TO GO OUT THERE AND, YOU KNOW, BE OUT THERE FOR THE CHILDREN OF WEST COVINA.AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALMOST LIKE, UH, IT'S JUST REALLY PRIDEFUL WHEN, WHEN YOU SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE MOVING IN THE SAME DIRECTION, UH, BEING, UH, A FATHER OF FIVE AND HAVING KIDS PLAY FOOTBALL, WE ALWAYS SAY NOTHING MORE EXCITING THAN 11 MAN GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
WELL, IT'S NOTHING MORE EXCITING THAN SEEING ALMOST 300 FAMILIES GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
UH, WE HAVE STUDENT ATHLETES AND TODAY, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO SEE, UH, THE HEART AND DEDICATION, UH, OF ONE TEAM, BUT I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA JUST GIVE YOU SOME QUICK ACCOLADES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T, UH, FORGET ALL THE TEAMS. SO OF NINE OF NINETEENS THAT PLAYED THIS YEAR, UH, EIGHT WENT TO THE, UH, PLAYOFFS.
UH, WE HAD FIVE GO TO THE SEMI-FINALS THREE, GO TO THE FINALS AND WE ENDED UP WITH TWO CHAMPIONS.
AND OF COURSE YOU JUST SAW ONE OF THE UNDEFEATED CHAMPIONS, UH, BUT STARTING WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF OUR PROGRAM WITH BEING STUDENT ATHLETE, UH, WE WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE JUNIOR PV BLUE TEAM THAT YOU JUST SAW OUT HERE.
UH, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TWO OTHER SCHOLASTIC TEAMS, THE PEEWEE DIVISION, THE JUNIOR MIDGET CHEER DIVISION ALSO, UH, WE'RE THE SCHOLARSHIP, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY HELD THE HIGHEST GRADE POINT AVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CONFERENCE AT THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY.
SO, UM, ON TOP OF THAT, UH, WE HAD OVER 151, UH, SCHOLARS, WHICH MEAN THAT OF ALL THE STUDENTS OF THE PARTICIPANT OF THE PROGRAM, 151 HAD TO MAINTAIN AT LEAST A 3.3 GRADE POINT AVERAGE TO GET THAT SCHOLARSHIP.
SO WE ARE GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE OTHER TWO TEAMS LATER IN, IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO BRING THE WHOLE LEAGUE IN ONE PRESENTATION.
IT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT, BUT I JUST WANT TO JUST KINDA, YOU KNOW, COME BACK TO, I GUESS, GROUND LEVEL, BECAUSE WE'RE SO EXCITED AND PRIDEFUL FOR, UH, YOU KNOW, THE WORK THAT COACH NUNEZ AND HIS STAFF SEE WHAT WAS ALSO BEEN SINKING AS PART OF THE STAFF WAS, UH, AN VERY IMPORTANT PART, WHICH WAS THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS.
SO THEY WORK, THIS IS THE GALA WAS THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY, UH, DID THE RECOMMENDED.
THEY DO ALL THE PAPERWORK AND HELP ASSIST THE COACHES.
SO THE COACHES CAN COACH AND THEY DO THAT.
SO THERE'S A BIG PART OF THE TEAM THAT ALSO WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND.
SO I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ALSO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE WEST CAMINO BRUINS THAT HAS A NUMBER OF, OF, OF, UH, COUNTLESS HOURS.
AND THEN, UH, PRESIDENT GEORGE ORTEGA.
YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS SAY, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS JOKE ABOUT HIM BEING AROUND THAT PARK SO LONG.
WE WERE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ABOUT READY TO START CHARGING THEM RENT.
I MEAN, HE WAS JUST THERE ALMOST EVERY DAY, DAY IN AND DAY OUT LEADING BY EXAMPLE, BY DOING THE COUNTLESS, YOU KNOW, THE HARD WORK AND THE HEAVY LIFTING AND HAVING ALL THE VOLUNTEERS SHOW UP BY EXAMPLE.
SO I DON'T WANT TO GO WITHOUT THAT BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S VERY MODEST AND WE WANT TO THANK HIS WIFE, PATTY THAT GIVES US, UH, TO HIM AND THE BENEFIT FOR THE CHILDREN.
WE HAVE A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS THAT GIVE THEIR HEART AND SOUL TO OUR PROGRAMS AND AS YOUTH SPORTS COUNCIL CHAIR, I JUST WANTED TO ALSO TAKE THIS MOMENT AS WE FINISHED THE NIGHT TIME THAT I HAVE ALLOTTED TO GIVEN THE KNOWLEDGEMENT TO ALL THE PROGRAMS RIGHT NOW THAT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND THEIR DESTINY, FIND THEIR PASSION AND GET BACK OUT IN THE FIELD.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE LITTLE LEAGUE SEASON, WE HAVE THE END OF THE YEAR PREPARATION.
UH, WE'RE WORKING WITH LOT OF THE DIFFERENT CHA UH, UH, THE LEAGUES TO GET THEIR STUFF TOGETHER AND LOOKING FOR AN EXCITING 2022.
AND WITH THE LEADERSHIP THAT WE HAVE HERE WITH CITY COUNCIL, WE LOOK FORWARD TO BUILDING THESE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE HERE, UH, AT WEST COVINA.
AND AGAIN, UH, WITH MY LAST FEW SECONDS, I JUST HAVE TO SAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR, YOUR DEDICATION AND SUPPORT AND GO BRUINS.
THANK YOU, HERMAN FOLLOWED BY MY GREENSPAN FOLLOWED BY LCMS MEN.
AND I SAY AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN IS ONCE AGAIN, BUT TO INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE THAT PROHIBITS AND CENSORS ONE'S RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS BEING HINDERED.
AND YOU FOOLS THAT PAY TAXES LIKE MYSELF ARE BEING DEPRIVED.
THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT WE GOT TO SAY AGAINST THE MORONS, THE IDIOTS THAT
[00:25:01]
WE DELEGATE TO DELEGATE ON OUR BEHALF TO MAKE OUR CITY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.NOW, IF YOU GO INTO THE AGENDA, WE HAVE ITEM 11 OLD SHIT ABOUT HOMELESSNESS.
NOW HOMELESSNESS HAS BEEN BASICALLY AN ISSUE OF CAREERS AND WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT? WELL, WE SEE HOW POVERTY PIMPS PIMP OUT THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY TO SUFFER.
AND HOW ARE THEY SUFFERING? LOOK ON YOUR STREETS, LOOK AT THE RESTAURANTS YOU GO TO AND YOU SEE YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER, YOUR NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND BEGGING FOR A HANDOUT, BUT YET OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT DENIES THEM THAT RIGHT TO HAVE A HOME, NOT A TENT, NOT A PART-TIME HOUSING CONDITION, BUT A FULL TIME HOUSING SITUATION.
AND SO THIS EVENING, WHILE I WAS IN THE CITY OF DOWNEY, INTRODUCING 42 USC, 1983, AND POLITELY SAYING IT TO THE MAYOR, THERE WERE, IS HOUSING REALLY DOES FREE SPEECH ALTERNATELY UNLAWFULLY ACT AS A WAY OF PUNISHMENT FROM YOU.
LOCAL OFFICIALS IS THAT THE WAY YOU WANT TO BETRAY YOURSELVES, NOT BELIEVERS IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT, BUT YET YOU WANT TO SALUTE A FLAG AND PUT ON THIS PONY SHOW, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT TO BELIEVE IN YOU ANYMORE, OR ANY OF YOUR IDEALISTIC STUPID LISTIC IGNORANT RIDDICK, SHIT, HOLE EXCUSES FOR HOMELESSNESS.
AND I PUT IT VERY FRANK BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT THE SAME WAY.
IT'S NOTHING BUT BULLSHIT BECAUSE IF I'M STILL STANDING HERE AFTER BEING INTRODUCED TO YOU GUYS ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, WHEN YOU DESTROYED MY VEHICLE OUT IN THE PARKING LOT, BECAUSE YOU GOT UPSET WITH ME, I BROUGHT YOU GUYS A BETTER EXCUSE FOR BEING A BETTER PERSON RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE UNDER AN FBI INVESTIGATION.
ALL OF YOU, AND YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT TWICE BEFORE CHINA THREATENED ME, INTIMIDATE ME AND SCARE ME BECAUSE I'M STILL NUMBER ONE.
NUMBER ONE AT COMING HERE AND EXERCISING THAT RIGHT ON BEHALF OF EVERY ANGELENO, EVERY PERSON LIVING IN WEST COVINA WHO ARE TIRED OF THIS RELENTLESS BULLSHIT OF HOMELESSNESS.
SO YOU COULD DO ALL YOUR FLATTERY TALK.
IT GIVES DO ALL YOUR PR BULLSHIT OR WE'RE FUCKING TIRED OF IT.
AND WE WANT TO SEE IMMEDIATE CHANGE, DRASTIC CHANGE, BECAUSE GOVERNMENT CANNOT PUNISH AN ACTION.
HOWEVER, IF WE BELIEVE IT, THEY WANT TO TAKE YOUR BELIEF AWAY THAT YOU ARE A PERSON AND HOW HAVE THEY DONE THAT? WELL, NOW WE HAVE A SO-CALLED WHAT AFRICAN COVID, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? AFRICAN COVID NO SUCH THING.
AND IT CAME FROM WHAT PEOPLE WITH AIDS.
WELL, I THOUGHT AIDS AND COVID WERE TOTALLY TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, ALTHOUGH THEY'RE AIRBORNE AND THEY DO ATTACK YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND THEY WILL DEFINITELY KILL YOUR ASS.
IF YOU DON'T GET CURE OR A CORRECT IT FROM YOUR OWN DOING.
AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE THE FIRST TIME SAYING THIS, BUT SOMETIMES GOD HATES HOMOSEXUALITY AND LET'S BE HONEST, BUT I'M GOING TO READ INTO THE RECORD.
THIS LETTER I RECEIVED FROM GEORGE GOSS GONE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, DEAR MR. HERMAN, AFTER VIEWING YOUR LETTER DATED SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2021, WE WILL EVALUATE THE PRESENT PRESENTATION OF THE INVESTIGATION BY THE DOWNY POLICE DEPARTMENT, TO OUR OFFICE FOR CONSIDERATION, FOR THE VERBAL ALTERCATION, BY THE MAYOR OF DOWNEY, THAT FAT FUCKING CUNT HAD THE NERVE TO PULL UP TO THE CURVE AND THREAT AND MEET HER AND HER STUPID.
MY GREENSPAN FOLLOWED BY LC MASS MEN FOLLOWED BY JOHN SHOEMAKER, SIR.
THANK YOU, MIKE GREENSPAN, A BRUIN, BUT KICKING FAR TO GATOR, THOSE UCLA BRUINS JUST CAN'T PLAY BASKETBALL ON THE HARDWOOD AGAINST THE SKATERS AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS BREWING TEAM.
[00:30:01]
IN TAXPAYER MONEY FOR A HEAD COACH TO GET A CHAMPIONSHIP.UNLIKE THE UCLA BRUINS WITH OUR MONEY, MONEY, THAT COULD BE GOING TO HOMELESS SUPPORT SERVICES.
NOW THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS I THINK WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT AND HOPEFULLY TIME WILL GIVE ME A CHANCE.
FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO THANKS THE PASTOR FOR MENTIONING JESUS, BECAUSE COMES AS CHRISTMAS.
IF HE SHOWS UP AT TIM KIBO'S, TIM SHAQUANA COUNTRY CLUB AND JOKES AND BILL TIM KIBO WILL BODILY THROW HIM FROM THE DINING ROOM BECAUSE JESUS IS JEWISH.
CHRISTMAS DINNER IS ONLY FOR OUR CHRISTIAN MEMBERS AT THIS COUNTRY CLUB.
YOU'RE PAYING FOR A LIBRARY AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING TO USE IT.
I SURE HOPE YOU GUYS ON YOUR RENOVATIONS ARE A LOT BETTER THAN DOWNEY.
DOWNEY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETED.
FUNNY OCTOBER WENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE END OF MAY AND I ASKED THE PERSON, ARE YOU SURE IT'S GOING TO BE FINISHED IN OCTOBER? I ASKED TWICE.
THEY SAID, YES, I GUESS THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ A CALENDAR.
YOU PAY THE TAX ON THE LIBRARY, IT'S ON YOUR PROPERTY TAX BILL, AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE IT MINUS THE RECONSTRUCTION OR RENOVATIONS, BUT YOU HAVEN'T FOR 15 MONTHS, YOU PAID ON THAT TAX AND COULD NOT USE THAT LIBRARY, NOT DO THE RENOVATION, BUT THROUGH THIS MADE UP COVID STUFF.
AND INSTEAD OF THEY SHOULD HAVE NOT CHARGED YOU ON YOUR PROPERTY TAX BILL, LET'S SAY LIBRARY TAX.
AND NOW YOU'RE ONLY ABLE TO HAVE TO USE IT.
SO EVERYBODY WHO PAYS THE LIBRARY TAX IN LA COUNTY SHOULD GET ONE AND ONE QUARTER YEAR'S REBATE ON THEIR TAX BILL.
AND SINCE IT'S ONLY BEING HALF USED.
AND WHEN I GO TO THE LIBRARY IN SAN FERNANDO, THE COUNTY LIBRARY, IT'S LIKE A JOE SEAT DOUGH.
I CAN'T GET ANYWHERE NEAR THE PERSON.
SO SHE'LL HELP ME OUT ON THE COPY MACHINE, BUT THEN I HAVE TO STAND BACK SO SHE COULD DO IT.
THEY'D PUT IT IN THESE ULTRA MODERN COMPUTER THING TO COMPLICATE IT.
NOW, WHERE DID I GET THIS IDEA THAT THE TAX SHOULD BE REBATED FROM A BOOK I ACTUALLY GOT AT THE COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM.
IT'S THE BOOK IS CALLED BLACK, LIKE ME WRITTEN BY JOHN HOWARD GRIFFIN IN THE SIXTIES.
HE GOT HIS IN PIGMENTATION MADE TO A BLACK MAN.
SO HE COULD GO THROUGH THE DEEP SOUTH AND SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE BEING A BLACK MAN.
AND HE GETS TO BLOCK, SEE MISSISSIPPI AND SOMEBODY THERE.
I'M READING ON THE ACCOUNT FROM NOVEMBER 19TH OUT OF CONTEXT, BECAUSE I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ IT ALL.
HE POINTED OUT THE INJUSTICE OF THIS POLICY BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO USE THE BEACHES.
SINCE THE UPKEEP OF THE BEACHES COMES FROM A GASOLINE TAX.
IN OTHER WORDS, EVERY TIME WE BUY A GALLON OF GAS, WE PAY A PENNY TO KEEP THE BEACH UP SO THE WHITES CAN USE IT.
HE SAID HE ADDED THAT SOME OF THE LOCAL NEGRO CITIZENS WERE CONSIDERING A PROJECT TO KEEP AN ACCOUNT OF THE GASOLINE THEY PURCHASED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
AND AT THE END OF THAT TIME, DEMAND FROM THE TOWN FATHERS, A REFUND ON THEIR GUESTS, SALINE TAX.
NOW CALL UP THAT BROAD HILDA SELISE ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OR DOWNTOWN NUMBER IS 2 1 3 9 7 4 4 1 1 1 AND SAY, I WANT MY MONEY BACK OR LOSS OF USE.
IF, IF, UH, YOU'RE ON THE LANDLORD BUSINESS, YOU HAVE LOSS OF USE OF THE POOL OR OTHER AMENITIES.
YOU ARE ENTITLED TO SOME FORM OF A REBATE.
AND THAT'S WHAT I'M BASICALLY SAYING IS THAT BROUGHT HILDA SHOULD GIVING YOU FOLKS A REFUND.
NOW IT WOULD BE A CLERICAL HEADACHE TO ON ASSESS WHAT WAS ASSESSED, BUT IT'LL BE A BIGGER HEADACHE.
WHEN ENOUGH PEOPLE GET TOGETHER AND SUE THE COUNTY, THEN YOUR LAWYERS ARE GOING TO BE USING TAXPAYER TIME, TAXPAYER MONEY, AND THESE CRADLE TO GRAVE OWNERS WHO CAN'T WORK TO HER.
MY BUDDIES STOPPED DISRUPTING CONTINUE, PLEASE.
AND THESE CRADLE TO GRAVE EVERS WHO CAN'T WORK IN PRIVATE PRACTICE WILL BE TRYING TO DEFEND THE COUNTY.
I HOPE THEY THREW THE PANTS OFF THEM.
I'LL SEE MASS MEN FOLLOWED BY JOHN SHOEMAKER FOLLOWED BY JIM GURVICH.
[00:35:03]
UH, IT'S A MESS, MAN.YOU WANT ME TO PASS THESE OUT ALSO STAFF AND EVERYONE HERE TONIGHT AND AT HOME.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW MAYOR.
HOPEFULLY WE WILL HEAR HIM SPEAK AS HE'S BEEN ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THREE YEARS ON THE COUNCIL.
SO SECOND ON THE MOTION WILL NOT BE ENOUGH.
YOU AND THE COUNCIL MUST REMEMBER THAT YOU ALL WORK FOR THE CITIZENS OF WEST COVINA.
WE DON'T WORK FOR YOU JUST TO LET PEOPLE KNOW.
THE SPORTSPLEX EVENT WAS CATERED BY A RESTAURANT FROM PASADENA.
AND YOU'RE TELLING US TO SHOW UP IN WEST GALENA.
MY FIRST COUNCIL MEETING I ATTENDED WAS IN DECEMBER, 2006, WHEN TOOEY LANE HERNANDEZ, SANDERSON, AND HER BIRD WERE ON COUNCIL.
THEY USED TO LISTEN TO THE RESIDENTS AND THEN MAKE THEIR DECISIONS.
NOW COUNCIL THINKS THEY KNOW IT ALL AND THEY IGNORE THE PUBLIC'S COMMENTS.
REMEMBER THERE IS SOME KNOWLEDGE OF PEOPLE THAT LOW, THAT KNOW A LOT MORE THAN YOU FIVE DO A PERFECT EXAMPLE IS 10, 10, 10.
WAS THAT ANYWAY THOUGHT THROUGH REALLY WE REALLY NEED 10 CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, 10 POLICE OFFICERS, AND 10 MAINTENANCE WORKERS WAS THAT DISCUSSED WITH THE SUPERVISORS THAT ARE IN CHARGE, OUR CITY MANAGER, JUST TO PROVE $27,300 TO AFFIRM, TO FIND CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS MERCHANTS LANDSCAPING WAS THAT PUT OUT FOR A BID FOR THE SPORTS PLEX.
THE CITY JUST PAID $50,000 FOR LANDSCAPING.
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH CHEAPER THAN THE OTHER COMPANIES? ARE WE PAYING THE PROPER WAGE OR ARE WE NOT DOING WHAT THE OTHER COMPANIES DID? OR MAYBE BOTH I ASKED ABOUT TRANS TECH ENGINEERING SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE RUNNING THE CITY.
AND TO MY SURPRISE, I GOT A LIST OF EMPLOYEES AND WHAT THEY WERE MAKING ALL CHARGED TO THE GENERAL FUND EXAMPLE, BUILDING OFFICIAL STAFF ENGINEER, YOU GOT PAID $140 AN HOUR.
ANOTHER PLAN CHECKER STAFF ENGINEER THAT PAID $133 AN HOUR.
THIS PLAN CHECKER WORKED 127 AND A HALF HOURS AT $133 AN HOUR MAKING $16,957 IN ONE MONTH FOR THE COMPANY FOR MAY AND JUNE, WE PAID $379,786 TO A TRANS TECH.
HAS ANYONE CHECKED TO SEE IF, UH, IT WAS CHEAPER THAN WE WERE DOING IT BEFORE? I DON'T THINK THE CITY MANAGER IS LOOKING FORWARD BECAUSE IT ISN'T, IT'S EASIER FOR HIM.
IT'S EASIER FOR HIM JUST TO FARM IT OUT TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
YOU NOW HAS TWO ASSISTANT CITY MANAGERS.
THIS ONE COMING FROM THE CITY OF LA POINTY, WHERE HE WANTS WORKED, LOOKS LIKE THE PAY SCALE BELOW THE ASSISTANT MANAGER WAS NOT ENOUGH FOR THAT PERSON AT THE RATE WE ARE GOING.
NOW, THIS ONE-TIME MONEY THAT WE GOT WILL BE GONE AND WE CAN LOOK BACK TO SQUARE.
THANK YOU, JOHN SHOEMAKER FOLLOWED BY JIM GRIBBIN FOLLOWED BY NICK DAKOTA.
JUST WANTED TO GO OVER A COUPLE OF THINGS.
UH, ONE THING THAT THE CITY DID RIGHTS, OR AT LEAST ONE OF THE DEPARTMENTS WAS A NEWEST CAPTAIN, TOO BAD.
HE WASN'T PROMOTED A YEAR AGO SINCE HE WAS THE BEST QUALIFIED.
SO AT LEAST WE HAVE ONE THAT CAN DO A JOB.
UH, WHEN I ASK A QUESTION THAT I'M PERPLEXED, I'VE WORKED IN ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE FOR 40 YEARS.
OVER 40 YEARS HAVE A DEGREE, HAVE AN MBA TAUGHT ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE FOR 10 YEARS, UNIVERSITY OF REDLANDS AND UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX, CPA.
CGMA, YOU KNOW, MBA, ALL THOSE WONDERFUL THINGS.
AND AT NO TIME, YOU KNOW, AND IN
[00:40:01]
WHEN I WAS IN THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY, I DID PROJECTS FOR SOME OF THE LARGEST CORPORATIONS IN THE WORLD, SOME OF THE LARGEST, AND AT NO TIME DID I EVER COME ACROSS SOMEBODY WHEN THEY ASKED ME, CAN YOU DO THIS PROJECT? DIDN'T ASK BY THE WAY, HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST? YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT WAS A COUPLE DAYS WORTH OF WORK.SO IT WAS A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS, BUT THEY ASKED HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST? AND HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE? BUT WE COME UP WITH A WILD IDEA OR AN IDEA OF HAVING THE WEST COVINA HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
NOBODY ASKED HOW MUCH IS IT? WELL, SOMEBODY DID ASK HIM IF IT WAS GOING TO COST.
ONE COUNCIL MEMBER DID MATTER OF FACT, ONE COUNCIL MEMBER EVEN HAD A STUDY FROM ANOTHER CITY THAT SAID IT WAS GOING TO COST 60 TO $90 MILLION.
AND AT NO TIME HAS ANY OF THE OTHER FOUR, INCLUDING, AND PLUS OUR CITY MANAGER COME BACK AND SAID, NO, THIS IS HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST.
MATTER OF FACT, I'M STILL WAITING FROM THE FEBRUARY MEETING WHERE HE WAS GOING TO PENCIL OUT AND REPORT TO THE PUBLIC, HOW MUCH STAFF TIME AND WHAT THE COST WAS GOING TO BE.
AND HE WAS GOING TO DO IT BY THE NEXT MEETING.
HE WAS PLAYING THE OLD WORD GAME.
YOU GO, YOU KNOW, WELL, WHERE IS IT? HE GOES, WELL, I SAID, THE NEXT MEETING, THIS IS THIS MEETING.
SO YOU COME TO THE, THAT MEETING.
HE GOES, NO, IT'S, THIS IS THIS MEETING.
I SAID, THE NEXT MEETING WE TAKE OVER WHAT WAS CALLED BIGLY DREAMS. AND NOBODY SAID, THIS IS HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST TO GET IT UP AND RUNNING AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET IT UP AND RUNNING.
I, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT SENTENCE SINCE IT'S ON THE BIO, YOU KNOW, OUR MAYOR HAS A SMALL BUSINESS.
WHEN, WHEN YOU REFURBISHED, WHEN YOU BOUGHT THE HOUSE, DID YOU ASK HOW MUCH IT COSTS OR DID YOU SAY, OH, WELL JUST BILL ME WHEN YOU HAD IT REMODELED, DID YOU GO, HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST OR JUST, UH, JUST DO IT.
NO, IF YOU DID, THEN I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU, YOU KNOW, UH, ARE COMING UP WITH SOME OF THE REASONS THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE THINGS YOU DO NOW, YOU KNOW, ALL OF YOU IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER HAVE SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.
NOW, LIKE I SAID, IN MY 40 PLUS YEARS AND ALL MY DEGREES AND ALL MY EXPERIENCE, YOUR DEFINITION OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY MUST BE DIFFERENT THAN EVERYBODY ELSE'S IN THIS ROOM.
CAUSE THEY ALWAYS ASK HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST.
AND HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE EVERYBODY? SO MAYBE YOU CAN ENLIGHTEN US WITH THAT INFORMATION.
WHAT DO YOU DEFINE AS BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE? A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, SPENDING 116 MILLION WHEN YOU ONLY BROUGHT IN A HUNDRED MILLION? I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S NOT FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY VOTING FOR A 12% PAY RAISE WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S FISCAL RESPONSIBLE, AT LEAST IT'S NOT IN MY DEFINITION.
MAYBE MY DEFINITION IS TOO NARROW, YOU KNOW, BALANCED BUDGETS.
YOU KNOW, I LOOKED AT WHAT THAT WAS AND IT BASICALLY SAYS YOU'RE SPENDING THE INCOME MATCHES THE EXPENDITURES.
WELL YOU'RE USING RESERVES, SO THAT'S NOT IT EITHER.
SO I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW WHAT YOUR DEFINITION OF IT IS.
I MEAN, I THINK IT'S KIND OF FUNNY WHEN I LOOK AT DIFFERENT THINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THIS CONSOLE SPENT MORE TIME ON THE MEDIAN, ON AZUSA THAN THEY HAVE GIVEN INFORMATION ABOUT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
SO I'M, UH, I'M JUST CONFUSED, YOU KNOW? SO IF YOU CAN ENLIGHTEN US ON WHAT YOUR DEFINITIONS ARE, THEN, YOU KNOW, MAYBE, MAYBE A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS GO AWAY.
THAT'S ALL I'M WONDERING ABOUT.
THANK YOU, JIM GRIFFITH FOLLOWED BY NICK DAKOTA, FOLLOWED BY OUR ROBINSON ITEM 11 ON YOUR AGENDA IS KIND OF ROUTINE, UH, ADOPTING AN, UH, CONTRACT EXTENSION FOR THE HOMELESS PROJECT.
I WOULD RATHER TALK ABOUT THE BIGGER PICTURE ON THAT, WHICH IS THE HOMELESS ISSUE.
FEW YEARS AGO, THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES VOTED $1.2 BILLION TO HELP WITH THE HOMELESS PROBLEM.
AS A RESULT, THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS IN THE COUNTY HAS GROWN FROM 40,000 TO 70,000.
OBVIOUSLY THE MONEY DIDN'T HELP
[00:45:02]
THIS, THIS COUNCIL IN COOPERATION WITH SOME OTHER CITIES HAVE FUNDED A PROJECT TO TRY TO FIND HELP PEOPLE FIND PEOPLE, FIND HOMES AS A RESULT, 16 PEOPLE ON HOMES.I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE THERE ARE IN THOSE FIVE CITIES, HOMELESS.
I'M GOING TO GUESS A THOUSAND THAT'S THOSE NUMBERS.
SO I'M NOT GOING TO DWELL ON THAT PART.
I'D LIKE TO DWELL ON A SOLUTION.
UH, I I'M BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT FOR QUITE A WHILE AND I HAPPENED TO READ AN ARTICLE BY A PERSON NAMED KEENAN THAT HAD A RATHER ELEGANT SOLUTION THAT WOULD DEAL WITH THE ISSUE, THE PROBLEM WITH THINGS LIKE THAT IS GOVERNMENT.
OFTENTIMES DOESN'T WANT TO PURSUE THAT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT IN IT FOR GOVERNMENT.
SO I'M NOT SURE HOW FAR THIS WILL GO, BUT I THINK IT'S A SOLUTION.
FIRST YOU OFFER EACH HOMELESS PERSON, $10,000 CASH.
ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS SIGN A CONTRACT AND AGREE TO GET ON A BUS AND GO TO A NEW PLACE TO LIVE AS FAR AWAY FROM THE CITY.
AND THIS NEW PLACE WILL BE UNIQUE BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO ACCESS TO DRUGS.
ALCOHOL, THERE WILL BE MENTAL HELP, WHAT WE USED TO CALL IN INSTITUTION, BUT THIS IS VOLUNTARY BECAUSE THE HOMELESS PERSON SIGNS A CONTRACT FOR $10,000 TO, TO GO THROUGH THIS.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE EITHER AN ADDICT AND ALCOHOLIC OR MENTALLY ILL, THE PROGRAM THAT EXISTS.
NOW DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE REAL PROBLEM.
THERE'S THE SOLUTION IS KIND OF SIMPLE.
YOU SPEND SIX MONTHS IN THIS NEW PLACE, YOU GET CLEAN AND SOBER.
IF YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS DOESN'T GET CORRECTED, YOU CAN STAY THERE INDEFINITELY.
THE IDEA HERE IS TO WORK ON THE REAL PROBLEM.
I THINK I HATE SEEING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WASTED.
I WOULD HOPE, AND THIS WOULD COST A SMALL FRACTION OR THAT THE ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
TO COTEAU FOLLOWED BY OUR ROBINSON FOLLOWED BY WILLIAM ELLIOT.
THIS IS NICK LEFT THE BUILDING.
R ROBINSON FOLLOWED BY WILLIAM ELLIOT, FOLLOWED BY DAVID AND REGRESS.
GOOD EVENING COUNCIL BILL ROSS ROBINSON RESIDENT.
UH, TODAY, 80 YEARS AGO, THE JAPANESE BROUGHT AMERICA INTO WORLD WAR II AT PEARL HARBOR.
WE SETTLED THAT ISSUE IN, UH, AUGUST OF 1945, BUT THE CURRENT, UH, WAR, UH, UH, BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS EXERCISES THAT THE JAB, THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS IS UNKNOWN.
AND THE ISSUE OF PUBLIC HEALTH IS EVEN MORE TROUBLING.
THERE IS ANOTHER WAR GOING ON, UNBEKNOWNST TO MOST OF THE PUBLIC, UH, THIS, UH, BIOLOGICAL WARFARE, BIG PHARMA IS DELIGHTED TO BE SELLING.
THERE ARE SORT SORT MEN OF INJECTABLE, INJECTABLE, BIO WEAPONS, ALL COVID PATENTS ARE HELD BY DARPA, UH, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OR, UH, LEADING PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.
BUT THE PUBLIC IS BECOMING SUSPICIOUS AND BEGINNING TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.
WHAT IS GOING ON IS IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.
AND SUSPICIONS ARE, UH, INCREASING.
I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT, UH, ANDREAS NOVAK, EVERYONE IN WEST COVINA SHOULD BE, UH, LOOKING AT, UH, DR.
ANDREA SUTTON, NO ACTS, UH, FINAL VIDEO, UH, PLEASE ADJOURN TONIGHT'S MEETING IN HIS MEMORY, THE AUSTRIAN, UH, TOP SCIENTIST.
[00:50:01]
CHEMIST.UH, HE, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HYDROXY GRAPHING AND, UH, AND, UH, AND THE, THE, UH, COVID JAB.
UH, PREVIOUSLY DEBUNKED CLAIMS ON THE PRESENCE OF GRAPHENE OXIDE IN VACCINES CANNOT BE DEBUNKED BECAUSE, UH, THOSE COMPOUNDS, THE PATENTS EXIST IN THE PUBLIC U S PATENT, UH, UH, PATENT FILES.
IT IS NOW OBVIOUS BEYOND DOUBT THAT, UH, NO ACT WAS TELLING THE TRUTH.
UH, WHAT IS UNKNOWN IS WHY A PROFESSOR, UH, IS NOW DEAD AT AGE 57.
WHY WOULD ANYONE KILL A EUROPE, A LEADING EXPERT IN THIS FIELD? HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND WORLD WOLFSBERG AUSTRIA, WHERE HE EVENTUALLY DIED OF CARDIAC ARREST QUOTE.
UH, THE CHEMIST'S DEATH WAS, UH, CONFIRMED BY AN OBITUARY ON THE WOLFSBERG FUNERAL DIRECTORS WEBSITE, UH, IN A JUST RELEASED PODCAST.
HE DESCRIBES HIMSELF AS AN EXPERT IN ACTIVATED CARBON.
I CONVERTED GRAPHENE OXIDE INTO GRAPHENE HYDROXIDE.
I JOINED THE WORLD'S LEADING ACTIVATED CARBON MANUFACTURER.
AND AFTER A YEAR I WAS IN CHARGE OF NEW ACTIVATED CARBON PRODUCTS.
WE, WE BOUGHT A SMALL COMPANY NEAR NEW CASTLE, ENGLAND.
I WAS IN CHARGE OF NEW CARBON PRODUCTS, EUROPE WIDE.
SO WHY IS THIS CRUD BEING INJECTED IN HUMAN BODIES? ACCORDING TO U S PATENT FILINGS.
HE SAYS THAT, UH, THE MEDICAL DOCTORS DON'T USUALLY KNOW MUCH ABOUT CHEMISTRY AND THEY WONDER WHY WE WOULD BE INJECTING NANO RAZORBLADES INTO THE HUMAN BLOOD CIRCULATION SYSTEM.
THE PRACTICE CANNOT BE HEALTHY IF NO ACT IS MYSTERIOUSLY DEAD.
NOW IT MIGHT SHOW THAT, UH, TELLING THE TRUTH IS BECOMING A VERY DANGEROUS OCCUPATION.
SO I'M, UH, SO I'M HERE TONIGHT TO RECOGNIZE THE PEARL HARBOR'S ANNIVERSARY BY PORTING A BRIDE BY REPORTING THIS DEATH 10 DAYS AGO OF TOP, UH, OF THE TOP EUROPEAN SCIENTISTS, PROFESSOR ANDREAS NOVAK, UM, WHO HAD, WHO HAD JUST RELEASED A VIDEO QUESTIONING THE VALUE OF USING GRAPHING HYDROXIDE IN THE JAB, APPARENTLY A HEART ATTACK, UH, POSSIBLY INDUCED BY AN ENERGY ATTACK USING RADIOLOGICAL, RADIOLOGICAL WEAPONS.
UH, WHAT WILL THE, UH, AUTOPSY DISCLOSE, UH, PATENTS? UH, PFIZER PATENTS MENTIONED, UH, MENTIONED 30 GENE DELETIONS.
UH, SO MAYBE WE'VE GOT TWO DIRECTED EVOLUTION GOING ON HERE.
UH, THERE ARE SCREWING WITH OUR KIDS GENES, STERILIZING PEOPLE, UH, UH, THIS IS POSSIBLY A POPULATION CONTROL PLAN.
THE PUBLIC IS NOT RECEIVING THE FULL STORY FOR INFORMED CHOICE TO BE POSSIBLE.
THE MEDIA IS, IS COMPLICIT IN WHATEVER, WHATEVER THE HELL'S GOING ON, BOMBER PILOTS TELL YOU IT'S RELEVANT RELEVANCY TO KNOW.
WELL, YEAH, I'M ELLIOT FOLLOWED BY DAVID IN REGUS, EVEN CITY COUNCIL, UH, BILL ELLIOTT.
IT WAS GREAT TO SEE ALL THOSE BOYS IN THE CHAMBER TONIGHT.
BASICALLY, THEY WERE SO EXCITED.
THAT'S REALLY, THAT'S REALLY GREAT THAT YOU GUYS HONORED THEM.
WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN OUR KIDS, NOT JUST MONEY, NOT JUST TAX MONEY THAT GETS REGURGITATED DOWN TO PROGRAMS. WE HAVE TO REINVEST IN THESE KIDS, UH, NOT JUST MONETARILY, UH, THE FILIPINO FESTIVAL.
I HAD, UH, IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.
WE HAD A LOT OF FUN, A LOT OF ENTERTAINMENT DANCERS OF ALL AGES.
THERE WERE, THERE WERE GIRLS THAT WERE DANCING FROM ABOUT AGE SEVEN TO ABOUT AGE 60 AND THEY, EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS IN IT INTO IT.
AND, UH, THEY, EVERYBODY ENJOYED IT.
AND IF YOU, ESPECIALLY TO ANGLOS OUT THERE LIKE ME, IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD A FILIPINO FRIEND COME TO THE FESTIVAL NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE YOU WILL FEEL LIKE YOU'RE AT A F A FAMILY HOME AND THEY'RE WELCOMING YOU.
AND IT'S, IT'S REALLY GREAT FEELING.
UH, WHEN I WAS IN BUSINESS, I HAD A LOT OF FILIPINO CLIENTS AND THEY ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL LIKE THEIR BEST FRIEND AND THEY ALWAYS WANT TO FEED ME.
[00:55:01]
AND, UH, IT'S, IT WAS A GREAT FESTIVAL.IT WAS THE MOST PEOPLE I'VE PERSONALLY EVER SEEN AT OUR SPORTS PLEX.
SO, UH, PEOPLE DON'T EITHER DIDN'T WANT TO GET THAT OR THEY DON'T GRASP IT OR WHATEVER.
I THINK, I THINK IT'S ON PURPOSE.
UH, LET'S SEE TONY WOO EIGHT BALLOON.
AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT BALLOON IS, AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT RECIPE, BUT IT'S A SALTED EGG DUCK, EGG, A FERTILIZED SALTED DUCK EGG, AND BURYING IT IN THE GROUND HAS GOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RECIPE.
BUT MY HATS OFF TO TONY, CAUSE I NEVER SEEN ANYONE SOBER EAT ONE OF THOSE.
SO IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO EXPERIENCE THAT.
UH, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE, UH, THE WHOLE PROXIMITY DEBATE THAT'S GOING ON.
UH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WON'T BE IN A BIG DEAL OF EL CHOLO BEING FROM PASADENA AND THEY, THEY PROVIDED SUCH GREAT FOOD FOR, UM, THE EVENT THAT I WAS OUT AT THE SPORTSPLEX AT THE STATE OF THE CITY.
AND, UH, THE FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.
EL CHOLO IS A STELLAR NAME ALL OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR A LONG TIME.
I THINK THEY WERE ESTABLISHED IN THE TWENTIES.
UH, I FELT HONORED TO HAVE THEM UP THERE.
WHAT A BIG NAME AND THE LA FOOD TO BE AT ONE OF OUR EVENTS IN WEST COVINA.
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE OTHER DAY AT THE FILIPINO FESTIVAL, I WALKED THROUGH ONE OF THE RESTAURANT VENUES.
UM, IT'S OF COURSE NOT OPERATIONAL, BUT WOW.
WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE AND I, IF ANYONE'S LISTENING TO ME RIGHT NOW, CALL THE CITY AND CHECK IT OUT.
WE DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE FROM PASADENA.
YOU KNOW, IF, IF YOU CAN MEET THE CRITERIA, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE SOMEONE UP IN THAT VENUE.
AND I HAVE A VISION THAT THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
UM, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE A WEST COVINA BUSINESS FILLING THAT, UH, THAT VOID AND MAYBE WE WILL IN THE FUTURE.
UM, BUT I JUST WANT TO REITERATE, I HAVE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME.
WE SPENT THREE AND A HALF HOURS UP THERE AND, UH, I WAS BLOWN AWAY AT HOW GOOD IT WAS.
I MEAN, I BOUGHT SOME POKEY THAT WE TOOK HOME AND HAD FOR LUNCH AFTER IT WAS SO DELICIOUS.
AND, UH, I REALLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO COME OUT.
I HOPE THE FILIPINO COMMUNITY HAS THAT FESTIVAL HERE EVERY YEAR.
IT REFLECTED THE PACIFIC ISLANDER POPULATION IN WEST COVINA.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE THERE? DO WE HAVE A COUNT ON THAT? I MEAN, FOR THAT TO OUR CITY MANAGER, D ARE YOU AWARE? YEAH, IT WAS A GREAT TURNOUT.
WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT THE, YOU KNOW, THE POLICE, DETECTIVE BUREAU BEING STALKED TO A RESTAURANT, THEY'RE TRYING TO HAVE A CELEBRATORY CHRISTMAS.
YOU GOT LIKE 20 OR 22 GUYS THERE THAT PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINES FOR EVERY ONE OF US EVERY DAY.
AND SOMEBODY'S MAD BECAUSE ARE ONE BLADE OF GRASS NORTH OF THE CITY LIMIT SIGN.
THIS IS ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES WE ALL KNOW.
OH, SO WELL WITH THAT FAMILY, AND IT JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON.
IT HAS TAKEN ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN.
AND I HEARD CAPTAIN PLUNKETT HAD TO INTERVENE AND CALM THIS PERSON DOWN AT THAT, DURING THAT BREAKFAST, WHICH WAS NONE OF HIS BUSINESS.
AND I THINK HE NEEDS TO SEE A DOCTOR OR SOMETHING BECAUSE IT'S NOT NORMAL.
YOU KNOW, DAVID AND REGUS GOOD EVENING.
UH, MY NAME IS DAVID HENRIQUEZ WITH TEAMSTERS LOCAL 3 96.
WE ARE HERE TO PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE SOMETHING.
YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW TEAMSTERS LOCAL 3 96, AND, UH, LOCALS THROUGH 1932, ALONG WITH KEY COMMUNITY RESIDENTS ARE TAKING LEGAL ACTION AROUND YOUR PROPOSED AMAZON FACILITY ON 1211 WEST, BUT DEAL STREET WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA 9 1 7 9 0.
IN WHICH TODAY THE ADJOURN, UH, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE SAID THAT EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO BREATHE, CLEAN AIR, WHERE THEY LIVE AND WORK.
UH, WE STRONGLY PRE UH, FIELD THAT WE WILL PREVAIL.
THAT'S ALL THE SPEAKER SLIPS I HAVE.
WE HAVE ONE MORE J D SHE DON'T MAKE FUN OF MY HAT.
YOU MIGHT HEAR A WARM NICE AND WARM
[01:00:01]
AND EVENING WHAT YOU'RE MISSING.YOU NEED TO COME BACK UP THERE ON THAT SHEET, BUT THROUGH MY PI ZANO HERE, HE KINDA TOUCHED ON THE SUBJECT THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.
UM, THAT IS TAX DOLLARS USE OF THOSE TAX DOLLARS OR THE, A UTILITY THOSE TAX DOLLARS.
AND I WANT TO THANK THE CITY MANAGER FOR GIVING ME SOME FEEDBACK REGARDING THE GYMNASIUM, THE USE OF THE GYMNASIUM, WHICH I BROUGHT UP LAST TIME I WAS HERE.
I JUST GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
UM, I'M WONDERING, IS THERE, I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE RENTING THE PLACE.
SO IS THERE A RENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE CHURCH? AND IF SO, IS PART OF THAT RENTAL AGREEMENT INCLUDE THE S THE PAY OF THE CITY EMPLOYEES, BECAUSE AFTER ALL LITTLE CITY EMPLOYEES ARE BEING PAID BY TAX DOLLARS.
SO IF THEY'RE THEY'RE SERVICING THE CONTRACT, AND I WOULD PRESUME THAT THE CONTRACT STIPULATES THAT ART OF THE MONEY IS BEING RECEIVED IS TO COVER THAT EXPENSE.
SO HOPEFULLY I CAN GET AN ANSWER THOSE TWO QUESTIONS.
YOU MAY, I HAVE NO MORE SPEAKER SLIPS.
THANK YOU, LISA AND S UH, CITY MANAGER.
WOULD YOU PLEASE RESPOND TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.
I'LL BRIEFLY TRY TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE POSED AND I, AND COMMENTS ON MR. WILLIAMS. WE AGREE.
UM, GO BRUINS THOUGHT THIS WAS REAL BRIGHT SPOT TONIGHT.
UM, ARMANDO HERMAN, UM, WE WOULD DEFEND ALL SPEAKERS RIGHTS OF FREE SPEECH.
UM, SIMPLY UNTRUE THAT THE CITY IN ANY OFFICIAL OR UNOFFICIAL CAPACITY HAD ANY PART OF DAMAGING HIS VEHICLE, JUST NOT TRUE.
UM, LC MS. SMITH ASKED ABOUT A COUPLE ITEMS ON THE WARRANT REGISTER.
UM, JUST TO CLARIFY ABOUT A COUPLE OF THOSE THAT WERE MENTIONED, THAT THERE'S AN ANNUAL, UM, COMPUTER SUPPORT PAYMENT THAT WE MAKE FOR THE GO REQUEST APP, WHICH IS HARVESTING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR US.
IT'S A REALLY GOOD, USEFUL TOOL.
WE GIVES THE RESIDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TURN IN THEIR COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS, GET DISPOSITION ABOUT THEM AND GIVE THE STAFF AN OPPORTUNITY TO DIRECTLY DO THOSE.
WE PAY AN ANNUAL CHARGE ABOUT $27,000 FOR THAT.
UM, MR. SHEWMAKER, WE SHARE YOUR CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEWLY PROMOTED CAPTAIN, TONY KORTINA.
WE THINK HE IS A FINE OFFICER AND WILL DO REALLY WELL IN HIS NEW ROLE.
UM, I HAD PLANNED TO COVER SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT UNDER THE MANAGER'S REPORT TONIGHT, BUT QUESTION WAS POSED ABOUT THE COST OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT EXPENDITURES TO DATE.
WE'VE HAD A PUBLICLY APPROVED ON THIS AGENDA CONTRACT, NOT ON THE STUDENTS TONIGHT, BUT IN THESE CHAMBERS WITH TRANSTECH, FOR THE PHASE ONE SERVICES, WHICH WAS $98,100, UM, THERE WILL BE SUBSEQUENT PHASES TO BE CONSIDERED AS THE APPLICATION PROCEEDS.
UM, MR. GRITCH TALKED ABOUT HOMELESS.
WE DO INTEND TO RAISE HOMELESS AS A TOPIC.
WE, UM, ARE ENDEAVORING TO SCHEDULE AN ANNUAL CITY COUNCIL GOAL SETTING MEETING ON TUESDAY, JANUARY THE FOURTH, AND HOMELESS IS DEFINITELY ON THAT LIST AND THOSE SUGGESTIONS AND OTHERS WOULD BE WELCOME AT THAT MEETING.
UM, MR. ROBINSON, I DON'T KNOW.
UM, MR. ELLIOTT, UM, I ALSO ATTENDED THAT FILIPINO FESTIVAL JUST TO PUT MY EYES ON IT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT FROM A ADMINISTRATION HOUSEKEEPING PERSPECTIVE.
THERE WAS A REALLY BRIGHT SPIRIT AT THAT EVENT AND KUDOS TO THEM FOR PUTTING TOGETHER A REALLY TERRIFIC EVENT.
UM, WE ARE IN NEGOTIATION WITH, UM, THE RESTAURANT OPERATOR.
NOW WE HAD ISSUED AN RFP AND WE'RE GONNA, UM, WORK UP A CONTRACT FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER MR. ENRIQUE OF TEAMSTERS LOCAL 3 96.
WE ARE AWARE OF THE CHALLENGE UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
AND THAT MATTER IS BEING HANDLED BY OUR CITY ATTORNEY.
UM, MR. DARU, WE INDEED DO HAVE A RENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE USERS OF THE, UM, CAMERON PARK FOR THE RENTAL OF THE CHURCH.
I'D BE HAPPY TO SHARE IT, OR THEY'D PAY CONSIDERABLE FEES FOR THEIR, THEIR SUNDAY USE OF THAT FACILITY, BUT I'LL, I'LL GET THAT DOCUMENT SO WE CAN SEE IT IN THE BLACK AND WHITE.
I THINK THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT THIS EVENING THERE.
UH, ON THE LZ MEASUREMENTS QUESTION REGARDING THE TRANSTECH CHARGE, AND THEN MY UNDERSTANDING, THE CITY APPROVED THE TRANSLATE CHARGE BASED ON OUR INCOME.
SO MEANING ANYTHING, THE BUILDING, A SAFETY, WE GET THE INCOME.
LET'S 150 SOULS AND DOWN IS A, WE GET 50 50.
SO BASICALLY WE GET 50% OF INCOME.
[01:05:02]
OKAY.AND THEN THEY GET 50% AND ANYTHING ABOUT $150,000.
WE GET 60% AND ANYTHING ABOVE $250,000.
THE CITY GETS 65% AND DON'T, AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO PAY THE STEPHANIE.
WOULD YOU PLEASE ELABORATE BULK BILL AGREEMENT? WE'LL APPROVE.
I, I DID ADDRESS THE ONE CONTRACT QUESTION RAISED IN AND OMITTED THAT ONE, OUR CONTRACT WITH TRANSTECH, UM, I THINK IS, UM, A SOUND DOCUMENT.
IT WAS CONSIDERED AS PART OF A CITY COUNCIL AGENDA IT FOR BUILDING AND SAFETY SERVICES IS A PERCENT OF THE REVENUE ARRANGEMENT.
THE COUNCIL SETS THE FEES AND THEY PROVIDE THE SERVICES BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE PERCENTAGE OF THOSE FEES, WHICH IS REVIEWED EVERY MONTH.
THOSE CHARGES ARE APPROPRIATE.
IT'S ALSO A SHIFT AS WE'VE PRIVATIZED THAT SERVICE AWAY FROM HAVING PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEES DIRECTLY PROVIDING THAT SERVICES, THEIR SERVICES, UM, RISE AND FALL BASED ON DEMAND.
SO WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE IN A MOMENT WHEN THERE'S NO DEMAND FOR THEIR SERVICES.
IT'S A GOOD SOUND RELATIONSHIP.
WE HAVE A REPORT REGARDING TOTALLY ABOUT OUR BUILDING AND SAFETY LEVEL, HOW MUCH WE BRING IN OUR CT SHIFT.
SO FOR OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, WE CAN SEE, OKAY, SO THE RESIDENT CAN SEE HOW MUCH THE CT AND PAY AND HOW MUCH OKAY.
WE INCOME COMING IN AND HOW MUCH WE SHARE WITH THE GEN STACK AND HOW MUCH THE KEEP ON THE CT.
SO I THINK IN THAT WAY, THEY CAN HAVE A SOLVE THEIR ISSUE AND I'M INTERESTED TO SEE HOW MUCH WE MAKE A QUARTERLY, QUARTERLY.
UM, THROUGH THE CHAIR, WE WERE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT REPORT.
WE DO REVIEW THOSE, UM, MONTHLY AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO PUBLICLY REPORT TO THE COUNCIL ABOUT THOSE ARRANGEMENTS.
IT LOOKS LIKE I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION OR A COMMENT BY, UH, COUNCILMAN LOPEZ V.
I WAS GOING TO ASK THE SAME THING, BUT NOT JUST, UM, THE PROJECTED, BUT ALSO THE PAST, BECAUSE HOW LONG HAS TRANSTECH BEEN WITH US? IS IT BEEN A YEAR? UH, I THINK IT'S TIERED ALMOST A YEAR.
AND SO I WANTED TO SEE THE PERFORMANCE, THE PERFORMANCE AND, AND THE WHOLE YEAR, UM, BUDGET OF ALL THAT COST AS WELL.
SO NOT JUST, UH, GOING, MOVING FORWARD, BUT ALSO THE PAST, I THINK THE FIRST THREE MONTHS DEAL WITH WELDON ONE, ONE IN DOWN.
SO THIS DEAL, WE STILL PAYING THEM.
SO THE COUNTRY IS MUCH WORSE THAN THE TRANSTECH.
THE TRANS DEBT WE APPROVE IS MUCH BETTER CONTRACT FOR US WITH A 60, 40, AND 65 INTO THE CT.
IF WE HAVE A LOT OF APPLICATION, I THINK WHY NOW WE HAVE A LOT OF APPLICATION OR BEAUTY AND SAFETY FOR THE, YES, I AGREE.
I JUST WANT TO SEE LIKE WHAT WE'RE PAYING OUT, BUT THANK YOU, YOU BOTH.
I THINK THE BIG PICTURE, WHAT YOU'LL SEE FROM THE REPORT INDICATES THAT THIS ARRANGEMENT AND AGREEMENT IS FAR BETTER THAN OUR PREVIOUS ARRANGEMENT.
AND TO MS. MESSMAN THAT ASKED ABOUT THE CONTRACTORS VERSUS EMPLOYEES.
THE FIGURES YOU'VE CITED IS OUR CONTRACT LABOR FEES PAID TO THE CONTRACTOR BASED ON WORK PERFORMED.
THAT'S NOT INCOME RECEIVED BY INDIVIDUALS.
WHEREAS WHEN WE HAD IT IN HOUSE THAT WAS W2 EMPLOYEES WITH A LONG-TERM PENSION LIABILITY, SO WILDLY DIFFERENT.
AND AS THERE, UH, COUNCILMAN WU IS POINTED OUT AND AS WE'LL SEE IN THE FUTURE REPORT, YOUR ARRANGEMENT IS, UH, FROM THE BUILDING AND SAFETY DEPARTMENT AS DESCRIBED SHOWS A BENEFIT TO THE CITY.
ON THE FINANCE DIRECTOR IS A, IS A SURPLUS.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL SHOW ALL THE WEBSITE SHOWING THE SO PLAUSIBLE 20 AND 21 AND THE HOPEFULLY IN 21 AND 22, EVEN GETTING BETTER.
CURRENTLY I THINK THE SALES TAX PROPERTY TAX AND ALL THE DEVELOPMENT INTO THE CT AND I LOOK LIKE FINANCE IS PRETTY STRONG.
AND TO THAT POINT AS WELL, ABOUT THE 10, 10, 10, THAT WAS A GREAT MOVE AT THE TIME, ESPECIALLY DUE TO SOME ATTRITION THAT CA THAT IS IN PROGRESS DUE TO RETIREMENTS AND A LATERAL MOVES BY SOME OF OUR OFFICERS.
UM, SO THE TIMING COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BETTER, BUT AS COUNCILMAN WHO'D JUST MENTIONED, WE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION FORTHCOMING.
AND I THINK THE 10, 10, 10 IS VERY IMPORTANT TO IMPROVE THE CITY SERVICE.
AND WE HAVE SO MANY, WE TIRE YE WE TOWERING OKAY.
CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE OUR RESIDENTS PROTECTED.
[01:10:01]
OKAY.THAT, THAT IS IMPORTANT TO US BECAUSE WE LAY OFF IN 2018 22, AND YOU CAN SEE THE STREET.
SO HOPEFULLY WITH THIS, WE CAN MAKE OUR CITY CLEAN AND PROPER AGAIN.
AND LET IS HOW AGENDA IS, HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THE CITY SERVERS? SO, SO WE ALLOW THE, WE ALLOW THE, OKAY.
AND THE PERSONNEL WE DON'T HAVE, WE CANNOT IMPROVE.
SO ANYWAY, UNLESS I SAY, I WANT TO HELP THE MANAGER TO ANSWER, AND THAT'S HOW, WHY WE'RE DOING THAT.
YOU COUNSEL AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
I ALSO HAVE A COMMENT BY A COUNCIL OR MAYOR PRO TEM.
UM, MAYOR, UM, ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT IS HOW OUR CITY LOOKS AND, UM, I THINK HAVING OUR MAINTENANCE CREW OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO FIX THINGS AND CLEAN UP THINGS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS REALLY BEEN IMPROVING.
AND, UM, AS FAR AS SAFETY, THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE THAT OUR RESIDENTS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH OFFICERS OUT THERE.
SO I THINK THAT IT WAS A GOOD MOVE ON OUR PART TO TRY TO GET THESE MAINTENANCE WORKERS AND, AND, UM, OUR OFFICERS OUT THERE.
SO I THINK IT WAS A POSITIVE THING AND IS A GOOD THING TO MOVE FORWARD ON.
AND, AND ALSO TO ADD TO SOME OF THE COMMENTS RAISED BY, UH, ARMANDO HERMAN AND, UH, MIKE GREENSPAN, AS WELL AS, AS JIM .
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS I HEARD RESOUNDING CLEAR IS MEASURE H IS NOT WORKING.
WE'RE AWARE THAT THAT'S A COUNTY WIDE PROBLEM.
THE COUNTY ABSORBS THOSE FUNDS, WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH THEM.
WE DON'T KNOW, BUT IT IS SOMETHING I'M GOING TO SPEARHEAD TO RETHINK THAT, REVISIT THAT DO SOMETHING BETTER BECAUSE I AGREE THAT IT'S NOT WORKING.
SO I'LL BE PUSHING HARD ON THAT.
[CITY MANAGER'S REPORT]
WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO A CITY MANAGER'S REPORT, PLEASE.OKAY, GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MARIN COUNCIL, I JUST HAVE A BRIEF REPORT TONIGHT.
UM, FIRST SLIDE, THE TRANSIT SERVICES SURVEY IS NOW UP AND AVAILABLE ON THE CITY WEBSITE.
WE'D ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO, UM, TELL US THEIR OPINION ABOUT THE SERVICES WE NOW PROVIDING OR NOT PROVIDING, AND TO GO ONTO THE CITY WEBSITE TO COMPLETE THAT AND PARTICIPATE.
REDISTRICTING IS A TOPIC OF INTEREST FOR ALL THE CITIES IN CALIFORNIA.
WE'RE RESETTING THE MATCHUP WITH THE LATEST CENSUS DATA.
OUR, UM, NEXT PUBLIC MEETING ABOUT THAT WILL BE ON JANUARY THE 18TH.
THE NEXT SLIDE, UM, SHOWS THE PLACEMENT OF THE NEW MODULAR BATHROOM.
WE HAD A GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY AND NOW WE CAN HAVE A RIBBON CUTTING BECAUSE IN PRETTY SHORT ORDER, THEY, UM, DROP THIS THING IN VIA CRANE.
IT'S NOW FULLY OPERATIONAL UTILITIES ARE IN PLACE AND IT'S AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC USE.
WE'RE WORKING TO GET ALL PUBLIC RESTROOMS TO STANDARD AND HAVE, UM, A PROPOSAL FROM AN ARCHITECT TO BEGIN THE BIDDING PROCESS FOR THE NEXT ONE ON THE LIST, WHICH WILL BE AT CAMERON PARK.
BUT WE'RE PLEASED WITH THE WAY THIS ONE CAME OUT.
ONCE WE WANTED TO BRIEFLY MENTION AN UPDATE ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT PROGRESS EARLIER THIS YEAR IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO SEPARATE FROM THE LEE COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER CITIES THAT ARE CONTINUING TO EXPRESS INTEREST IN THERE WATCHING QUITE CLOSELY THIS PROCESS, UH, IMPORTANTLY, CALIFORNIA LAW ALLOWS A CITY WITH A POPULATION GREATER THAN 50,000 TO HAVE A HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, UM, HAS THE AUTHORITY TO FUND LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS WHO MEET THE STATUTORY AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
THIS IS REALLY UNCHARTED TERRITORY AS THERE ARE, BUT JUST A HANDFUL OF MUNICIPAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, EACH OF THEM OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD, BERKELEY LONG BEACH PASADENA.
SO THE FOCUS BY CDPH HAS BEEN ON CREATING A REGULATORY PROCESS BY WHICH WEST COVINA HAS APPLICATION OR ANY MUNICIPALITIES APPLICATION COULD BE CONSIDERED.
THEY'VE PRODUCED A TEMPLATE, WHICH IS AVAILABLE ON THE CITY.
WEBPAGE REALLY ARE THREE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT THEY'RE FOLLOWING FIRST, A HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND THIS MEET ALL THE STATUTORY REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO RECEIVE FUNDING, A NEW HEALTH DEPARTMENT MUST DEMONSTRATE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS.
AND FINALLY, IT MUST PROVE ITS ABILITY TO ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS.
I THINK THIS FIRST PHASE IS PHASE ONE.
THE NEXT STEP WILL BE A PHASE TWO, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE A COUNCIL DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO PROCEED WITH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN, AND A FORMAL APPLICATION TO GET TO A PROVISIONAL APPROVAL TO STAND UP, UM, UH,
[01:15:01]
HEALTH DEPARTMENT HERE.FINALLY, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE MENTION OF A COUPLE OF COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT ARE COMING UP.
UM, THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER THE 10TH, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME SKATING.
THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME MUSIC.
THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME TREE LIGHTING AND SOME FUN RIGHT HERE AT THE CIVIC CENTER FROM SIX TO NINE, IT'S FREE.
AND WE WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COME OUT, ENJOY THAT EVENING.
AND THEN THE VERY NEXT MORNING, THE CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS PARADE, WE'RE PARTICIPATING WITH THE WEST COVINA KAWANIS CLUB.
THERE'LL BE A CHRISTMAS PARADE AND A SANCHEZ VILLAGE.
THE PARADE STARTS AT 10 SANCHEZ VILLAGE WILL RUN FROM NINE TO TWO.
AND THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT THIS EVENING.
[CONSENT CALENDAR]
THE CONSENT CALENDAR, A SHORT ONE RIGHT NOW.SO WE'LL WAIT FOR HIM TO RETURN, BUT, UH, COUNSEL, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO PULL FROM CONSENT? UH, UH, NO, BUT, UH, I'M ON A NO ON NUMBER NINE.
THAT'S BEEN PULLED, BUT NO ON TWO IS THAT WE SAID, OKAY.
NUMBER TWO, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION.
COUNCILMAN LOPEZ HAS GOT, I DON'T KNOW, AND COUNCILWOMAN DIAZ OR MAYOR PRO TEM.
I GOT TO GET ACCUSTOMED TO THAT.
AND WE'LL WAIT FOR COUNCILMAN WU TO SEE IF HE WOULD LIKE TO PULL ANYTHING UP PRETTY MUSIC WHILE WE'RE WAITING.
I ACTUALLY HAD AN MA MAYBE A TICK TALK WOULD BE REALLY GOOD VENUE.
I HAD A QUICK QUESTION FOR A GYM GROUP, WHICH DOES THAT PLACE EXISTS THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED? WELL, I MEAN, IT JUST, IT, YOU JUST ANSWER FROM THERE.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS A CURRENT PLACE THAT IS CURRENTLY AT THE OKAY.
COUNCILMAN, WAS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO PULL FROM? NOTHING.
SO GIVEN THAT WE'RE GOING TO PULL NOTHING.
DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SECOND, SECOND.
CAN I GET A CONFIRMATION ON THE FIRST MOVE? BOOM.
I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN WU AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL WOMAN LOPEZ.
BEATO COUNCIL MEMBER TABATA BY COUNCILMAN WU.
I MAYOR CASTELLANO'S, UH, CONTENT CALENDAR PASSES FIVE ZERO WITH COUNCILMAN TABATA BY STATING NO ON NUMBER TWO
[9) CONSIDERATION OF AN URGENCY ORDINANCE ADOPTING CHANGES TOCHAPTER 20 (SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS) AND CHAPTER 26 (ZONING) RELATINGTO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SENATE BILL 9]
THINGS.ITEM NUMBER NINE IS CONSIDERATION OF AN URGENCY ORDINANCE.
AND THIS MATTER IS, YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT WAS? NOPE, THAT'S IT.
THE MATTER IS SET FOR A PUBLIC HEARING CONSISTS OF A CITY INITIATED URGENCY ORDINANCE NUMBER 2, 4 9 3, AN URGENCY ORDINANCE ADOPTING CHANGES TO CHAPTER 20 SUBDIVISIONS AND CHAPTER 26 ZONING RELATING TO IMPLEMENTATION OF SENATE BILL NINE FOR THE CREATION OF 2 82 RESIDENTIAL UNITS PER LOTS, WILL THE CITY CLERK VERIFY THE PROPER LEGAL NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN.
PROPER NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN MAYOR.
THIS TIME I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE URGENCY ORDINANCE THAT WILL FIRST BE THE PRESENTATION OF THE STAFF REPORT.
AND WE SHALL HEAR FROM THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT AND THOSE OPPOSED MR. CARMONEY, WHO WILL PRESENT THE STAFF REPORT.
ANY MANAGER, JOANNE BURNS WILL PRESENT THIS REPORT.
GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, AND ALSO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.
UM, WE'LL GO, GO AHEAD AND GO OVER SOME BACKGROUND ON SENATE BILL NUMBER NINE, SB NINE WAS SIGNED INTO LAW ON SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR AND IT BECOMES EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST.
IF THE CITY DOES NOT ADOPT AN ORDINANCE, THE CITY WOULD BE LIMITED TO, TO THE TWO FOLLOWING THE STATE LAW AS WRITTEN WITHOUT ANY MODIFICATIONS.
THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS OF SB NINE.
UM, ONE, IT BEING THE URBAN LOT SPLIT, WHICH ALLOWS IT SUBDIVISION OF ANY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LEASE ZONE, LOTS INTO TWO DIFFERENT LOTS.
AND THE OTHER COMPONENT IS, IS WHAT WE CALL IN OUR ORDINANCE.
URGENCY ORDINANCES, URBAN DWELLING UNITS, WHICH IS THE MANDATE TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF AT LEAST TWO UNITS OR RESIDENTIAL LAW.
SO THESE ARE, THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT SB NINE ALLOWS
[01:20:01]
FOR DEVELOPMENT WITHIN SINGLE FAMILY.UM, SB NINE ALLOWS FOR A SUBDIVISION OF LOTS WITH A MINIMUM, LOTS LOT SIZE OF 1,200 SQUARE FEET OR A LOT IN ANY SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL ZONE.
JOANNE, I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU.
SO THE LAST SIDE ONLY TOW HUNDRED.
SO MEANING 2,400 LUCK CAN BE EXPLAINED TO EACH 200.
UM, THERE ARE ALSO OTHER PROVISIONS.
UM, FOR INSTANCE, I, LAW CAN ONLY BE SUBDIVIDED IN ONE LAW CAN BE SUBDIVIDED INTO TWO DIFFERENT LOTS, THE MEDICAL AND LAW OKAY.
HOW BIG POVERTY CAN BUILD ON THE TOW HUNDRED BECAUSE BE VERY, VERY HIGH DENSITY.
THAT STATE LAW ALLOWS AT LEAST 800 SQUARE FEET PER UNIT 800 SQUARE FEET.
HOW ABOUT THE SETBACK CAN DO THE MOST IMPACTFUL THAT I'M SORRY, FOUR FEET SIDE AND FOUR FEET YOUR REAR MAXIMUM.
THIS IS A FUN, THE STATE GUIDELINE WAY.
WELL, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GO OVER THAT, UM, IN THE PRESENTATION.
UM, SO THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT, THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
THE, UM, THERE ARE OTHER PROVISIONS, UM, REGARDING WHAT THE 1,200 SQUARE FOOT LOT SIZE.
SO, UH, THE OTHER PROVISIONS INCLUDE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE SUBDIVIDING A LOT, EACH LOT HAS TO BE NO, NO LESS THAN 40% OF THE SIZE OF EXISTING LOT.
UM, AND IN THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE, UM, UM, THREE, THE, THE EXAMPLE NUMBER THREE, AND NUMBER FOUR ARE STANDARD.
LOTS THAT ARE CURRENT THAT ARE ALREADY CURRENTLY ALLOWED WITH TODAY'S CODE ONE.
UM, THE URBAN LOTS SPLIT, UH, SHOWN ON 1, 2, 3, I'M SORRY, ONE, TWO AND FIVE ARE WHAT'S BEING, BEING, UM, THAT, WHAT, WHAT IS, WHAT IS PART OF SB NINE? SO PER SB NINE LOTS CAN BE SUBDIVIDED TWO DIFFERENT WAYS.
ONE IS THROUGH A CREATION OF A FLAG LAW SIMILAR TO, UM, OR THE URBAN LAW SPLIT NUMBER ONE.
AND THE OTHER ONE ARE VERTICAL LOT SPLITS, WHICH IS SPLIT RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE, UM, WHICH IS SHOWN ON NUMBER TWO.
AND WITH THIS OWN, FOR THE URGENCY ORDINANCE, ONLY URBAN DWELLING UNITS ARE GOING TO BE ALLOWED ON URBAN LOTS SPLITS.
SO AS, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE DIAGRAM, THE PURPLE ARE URBAN.
THE URBAN DWELLING UNITS REPRESENT URBAN DWELLING UNITS.
THE BLUE, THE, UM, THE BLUE HERE IS AN EXISTING HOUSE AND THE ONES THE DARK ORANGE OR DARK IN YELLOW ARE 80 YEARS.
SO CURRENTLY, UH, THE CITY ALREADY ALLOWS, UH, LOTS TO HAVE BOTH A JUNIOR ATU AND AN N IN ADU.
SO HERE ARE THE STATE STANDARDS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR URBAN LOTS WIDTHS AND TO THE RIGHT ARE THE STANDARDS THAT THE CITY HAVE HAS INCLUDED IN THE URGENCY ORDINANCE.
THAT'S BASED, THAT'S JUST BASIC WAY WEST COVINA SPECIFIC.
SO WE ARE ONLY ALLOWING URBAN DWELLING UNITS ON URBAN LOT SPLITS THE MINIMUM.
THE MINIMUM STREET FRONTAGE IS 12 FEET.
AND THIS IS BASICALLY BECAUSE IN OUR CITY'S CODE THAT THE MINIMUM DRIVEWAY WITH REQUIREMENTS IS 12 FEET.
SO WE ARE ADOPTING THAT HERE AND THE REQUIRED SET SETBACK IS FOUR FEET SIDE AND REAR THE SETBACK MAY BE REDUCED IF AN 800 SQUARE FOOT LOT OR 800 SQUARE FOOT UNIT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE LOT.
SO IT HAS TO BE PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONSTRUCT IN ORDER, IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR A SET BACK REDUCTION AND THE REQUIRED FRONT SET BACK IS 25 FEET.
UH, I HAVE A QUESTION WHEN YOU SAY 25
[01:25:01]
FEET FROM SETBACK.SO MEANING THAT IS WHAT CURRENT 25 FEET SETBACK.
SO WE, WHERE WE DO AS TO WHAT EIGHT FEET, SO MANY, WE ARE GOING TO LOSE THE GREEN LAWN.
WELL, CURRENTLY YOU, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE YEAH.
ALLOW 20, 25 FOOT FRIEND SETBACK.
SO IT'S 25 FEET FRONT SETBACK, BUT IF THE LOT SIZE IS VERY SMALL, LIKE 2,400 SQUARE FEET AND THEY, THEY WERE GOING TO SUBDIVIDE IT AND IT WOULD BE PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD AN 800 SQUARE FOOT UNIT ON THE PROPERTY.
WHAT WE WOULD DO IS WE WOULD FIRST REQUIRE THE PROPERTY OWNER TO SAY THAT THAT, UM, TO ATTACH THE, UM, THAT THE DWELLING UNITS FOR THAT ARE, THAT ARE WITHIN THIS, THIS, UM, THE LOT SPLIT LOTS.
SO FOR INSTANCE, IF THIS, AND IN THIS UNIT ATTACHED, UM, THAT'S THE FIRST, THAT'S THE FIRST OPTION.
AND THEN THE SECOND, THE SECOND OPTION, UM, IF THEY STILL CAN'T BUILD AN 800 SQUARE FOOT UNIT ON THE LOT WITH THE TWO UNITS WITHIN THE URBAN LOT SPLIT BEING ATTACHED, THEN THEY CAN REDUCE THE FRONT SETBACK TO 10 TO TWO, 10 FEET.
SO THAT'S, WELL, WE BASE IT ON WHAT I SAY.
SO IF THEY CANNOT DO IT, THEN THE CITY, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE TO GO TO THE 10 FEET.
SO WE GO TO LOSING 15 FEET OF THE LUNGS, THE FRONT.
SO, SO, SO THAT THE, THERE WILL BE BASICALLY WE DO A LOT OF OPEN SPACE TO THE CHARACTER.
SO THIS IS WHAT THE STAY FOR SEARCH.
AND THE, HOW MANY, 2,400 SQUARE FEET WE HAVE IN THE CITY.
THERE'S A VERY SMALL LOT, A FEW, I CAN THINK OF TWO THAT ARE ABOUT THREE, ABOUT 3000 SQUARE FEET, BUT MULTIPLE SQUARE FEET, A LOT, UM, A FEW LIKE, OR RESIDENTIAL, OUR ONE'S ONLY FOUR HOUR ONES ONLY RESIDENTIAL, URBAN ONE.
WE, THERE ARE A FEW, LOTS THAT ARE ABOUT 3000 SQUARE FEET, BUT MOST LOTS IN THE CITY ARE OVER 5,000.
I THINK WE SHOULD BE MORE FIVE, 6,000 SPLIT.
A LOT, MOST, MOST LOTS IN THE CITY ARE OVER THAT SITE.
IF THEY CAN SUB DIVIDE BECOME SO 1200 MINIMUM, THIS IS THE STATE GUIDELINE.
AND YOU CAN ONLY SUBDIVIDE A LOT ONCE, BUT DO WE HAVE A REQUIREMENT BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING STATES SAY YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE OCCUPY.
SOMEBODY HAVE LIVE OVER THERE.
IT'S NOT LIKE INVESTOR COME IN, BUY OKAY.
AND SUBDIVIDE AND SELL IT OR RENT IT OUT.
SO, SO IF, IF AN APPLICANT WAS GOING TO APPLY FOR AN URBAN LOT, SPLIT, THE APPLICANTS WOULD HAVE TO LIVE ON THE SITE FOR THREE YEARS OR AT LEAST THREE YEARS AFTER THE APPROVAL.
SO THEY FIRST, THEY HAVE TO BE AN OWNER ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR THEM TO SUBDIVIDE.
THEY HAVE TO LIVE IN ONE OF THE UNIT THAT'S CORRECT FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS.
SO THEY'RE LIVING WARM THE UNIT FOR THREE YEAR.
AND THAT, AND A COVENANT IS REQUIRED TO, TO IDENTIFY THAT AND THE, HOW WE ENFORCE THAT, UM, WE WOULD, WE WOULD ASK FOR PROOF, UM, WE HAVE A CO-INVESTMENT TO KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR.
ELE ENFORCEMENT CAN GO OUT THERE TO, TO INVESTIGATE.
SO CAN WE PUT A GUIDELINE OVER DALE? WE WILL ENFORCE.
AND, UH, TO VERIFY THE OCCUPANCY AS THE OWNER OCCUPIED.
YOU WILL IMPORT BY, WELL, WE CAN ALSO INCLUDE THAT INTO APPLICATION WHEN, UM, SO THAT EVERYBODY'S CLEAR.
IF THEY INVEST, THEY COME IN AND PRETEND THEY ARE THE OWNER AND THEY USING THE FAKE THIS AND THAT.
SO WHY IS THE PENALTY? WHY IS A PENALTY? DO WE HAVE A PENALTY CLOUD BY WAY OF RISK, RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS THAT ARE AGGRESSIVELY ENFORCED? W WILL WE BE DOING THAT? I HAVE AN ANSWER THAT I'LL LOOK INTO THAT I CAN, I CAN LET YOU KNOW WHAT OUR, UH, WELL, WE THINK, THANK YOU.
I THINK THAT'LL BE IMPORTANT BECAUSE I THINK I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST THAT SOME OF THE COVENANTS ARE MAYBE NOT ALWAYS LOOKED AT AGAIN IN HINDSIGHT, BUT IN THIS CASE, I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE LOOK AT THESE PUT STRONG COVENANTS IN PLACE THAT ARE REALLY ENFORCED.
AND ALSO AT THE VERY LEAST IT WOULD, THE PENALTY, THE PENALTY CAN BE, UM, THE COVID WE DO, WE HAVE THE APPROVED TONIGHT.
SO IN THAT WAY, WE NEED TO APPROVE TO NY WITH THE PENALTY,
[01:30:01]
ALWAYS THE COMMON THAN, OKAY.MEANING WE ALLOW TO STAY BECAUSE WE HAVE NO CHOICE, BUT WE DO NOT WANT PEOPLE COME IN TO BUY PROPERTY LIKE QUASI AND PRETEND THEY'RE ON THE OCCUPY AND THEY MAKE A PROFIT.
THEN CITY HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T HAVE A PARKING ISSUE.
FINNA IS ALREADY IN, IN THE, IN THE CODE, AS FAR AS THE LANGUAGE AND THE COVENANT THAT IS DONE BY THAT IS DONE BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.
THE WHY IS THE PENALTY? WHY IS THE, WHY IS THERE THE I'VE INJUNCTION? CAN WE OKAY.
FULFILL THEIR POVERTY? WE FIND OUT THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY THIS OUT.
DO WE HAVE ANY JUST LIKE HOA HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION? IF THE PEOPLE VIOLATE HUNCH, HOS ASSOCIATION, THEY HAVE A VERY BIG POWER TO MAKE SURE THEY COMPLY.
RIGHT? SO, SO WE DON'T NEED TO PUT THE PENALTY AND THE ORDINANCE TONIGHT, AND WE CAN ADOPT THIS ORDINANCE TONIGHT.
IF THEY VIOLATE THIS ORDINANCE, WE COULD FILE A PETITION OR A WRIT OR SO WE CAN AMEND IT.
WE'LL GET AMENDED LATE TO ALL WHEEZED GAVE.
WE NEED TO AMEND THAT WE CAN AMEND IT, BUT WE, IF IT'S A VIOLATION OF A MUNICIPAL CODE, WE CAN ALWAYS FOLLOW A WRIT OR PETITION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE TO SAY, YOU NEED TO BE THE OWNER OCCUPIED.
YOU NEED TO BE LIVING THERE, BUT YOU GET THIS.
SO NO MATTER WHAT WE HAVE TRIED TO FIND, WE HAVE TO APPROVE THIS FOR JANUARY, JANUARY 1ST, IF WE DIDN'T GET CHALLENGED BY LAWSUIT OR SOMETHING.
AND I KNOW A LOT OF CT CAN TOGETHER, WANT TO SUE THE STATE FOR DESK.
AND I BELIEVE THE STATE IS, UH, UM, I CAN, UH, OH, SO IN THAT WAY, SHALL WE APPROVE THIS SUBJECT TO THIS ORDER THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENT IN JANUARY 1ST.
SO WE DON'T WANT TO DO SOMETHING, JUMPED THE GUN.
IF THEY DON'T IMPLEMENT JANUARY 1ST, WE DON'T HAVE TO IMPLEMENT THIS THING BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THIS KIND OF YEAH.
IF THERE'S NO PRESSURE, I THINK WE SHOULD REALLY TIGHTEN THIS UP SUBJECT TO, OR DISAPPROVAL WITH THE STAY OR THE NURSE IMPLEMENTING JANUARY 1ST.
WELL, WE CAN DO SO ON AN URGENCY ORDINANCE, WE NEED A FORFEIT VOTE OF THE COUNCIL.
AND THE VERY NEXT DAY IT IS AN INACTIVE.
BECAUSE IN JANUARY 1ST, THE STATE DUE TO SOMETHING, THEY DECIDE TO SUSPEND IT.
WE WILL BRING IT BACK FOR THIS COUNCIL TO REPEAL IT OR TO MAKE ANY CHANGES NECESSARY.
SO WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT OUR HANDS.
IF WE APPROVE IT TONIGHT, I SUSPECT THIS WILL BE AN EVOLVING THING THAT WE LOOK AT CLOSELY.
YOU CAN ALWAYS BRING IT BACK IN THIS COUNCIL HAS THE AUTHORITY TO REFILL A COUNCILWOMAN LOPEZ V.
UM, COUNCILMAN DID HIT A LOT OF THINGS.
I JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME STIPULATIONS.
SO CURRENTLY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE STIPULATIONS IS WITHIN THE STATE? I FIGURED YOU, MAYBE THE RULE PRIOR TO THIS IS YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN THAT HOUSEHOLD FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME THAT ALREADY SHOWS PROOF THAT YOU JUST GOT THERE.
VERSUS IF I JUST BOUGHT THIS HOUSE AND THEN I WANT TO DO ALL THIS, AND THEN YOU SAY, OKAY, THREE YEARS AFTER SAY YES, BUT IS THERE A CURRENT STIPULATION WITH THE STATE CURRENTLY THAT IF THEY DEFAULT DO NOT, YOU KNOW, LIVE THERE OR DOES ANYBODY COULD SAY I JUST MOVED OR I DECIDED TO MOVE OUT? IS THERE CURRENTLY ANYTHING? NO.
CURRENT, THERE IS NO CURRENT REQUIREMENT THAT SAYS THEY HAVE TO LIVE THERE AT THE TIME.
CAN WE ADD ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS WITH THIS? NO, NO.
KEEPING THIS REQUIREMENT, BUT ADD ADDITIONAL THAT THEY'VE HAD TO HAVE LIVE IN THAT HOUSEHOLD FOR PRIOR, JUST TO ADD ON TOP OF THIS, MR. MAYOR, I WOULDN'T, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT'S, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
AND MAYBE SOMETHING GOOD THAT WE COULD ADD.
I JUST SUGGEST THE WAY THIS IS WRITTEN.
WE'VE, WE'VE PUSHED THE ENVELOPE A LITTLE BIT AND WE WANT TO GET AS MUCH PROTECTIONS FOR THE CITY OF WEST COVINA BEFORE JANUARY ONE COMES.
AND ONCE WE FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS ON JANUARY ONE, WE CAN ADD SOME MORE RESTRICTIONS TO THIS, OR WE CAN REPEAL IT ALTOGETHER.
IF TH IF THIS ISN'T GONNA, IF THE STATE'S GONNA HAVE ISSUES WITH, BECAUSE MY OTHER CONCERN IS WITH PARKING.
AND I KNOW CURRENTLY THE CITY STATES PARKING, WHEN YOU BUILD, YOU HAVE TO HAVE LIKE TWO CAR GARAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT IN THIS, THERE'S NO PARKING.
SO I JUST WANTED TO PREVENT, YOU KNOW, WEST COVINA IS WIDE THAT, YOU KNOW, ARKING IS NOT AS BAD AS BEING IN A DENSE COMMUNITY.
SO THAT IS ANOTHER CONCERN OF MINE IS THE PARKING SITUATION AS WELL.
SO WITH PARKING WHERE WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO REQUIRE PARKING, BUT WE, WHAT WE, WHAT WE ARE REQUIRING WITH THE URBAN LOT SPLIT IS THAT THEY CAN HAVE A DRIVEWAY.
AND THE MINIMUM, THE MINIMUM DRIVEWAY WITH IS 12 FEET.
AND THEY CAN ALSO HAVE A, IF THEY HAVE A GARAGE, THEY CAN HAVE A WIDER DRIVEWAY, THE SAME WIDTH AS THE GARAGE.
AND IF THE STREET HAS, DOES NOT ALLOW, OR HAS A PARKING PERMIT ONLY PROGRAM THAT, UM, THE RESIDENTS OF THE URBAN LOT SPLIT WOULD NOT QUALIFY
[01:35:01]
TO RECEIVE ANY PARKING PERMITS TO PARK ON THE STREET.WAIT, YOU SAID THIS LAW DOESN'T ALLOW.
I MEAN, IF WE DECIDED TO LATER ON AND PARKING IS AN ISSUE, THERE'S PARKING PERMIT IN OUR CITY, WE CAN'T EVEN IMPLEMENT THAT CAN.
SO IF THERE'S, IF, IF PARKING PERMIT, UM, IF THE STREET IS, UH, REQUIRES A PARKING PERMIT, WE DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THE RESIDENTS OF THE URBAN LOT SPLIT A PARKING PERMIT.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO QUALIFY FOR ANY PARKING PERMITS.
BUT YES, I, I LIKE TO SEE WHAT FULL FORRESTER IS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE INVESTORS OR DEVELOPERS JUST DO THIS TO PROFIT.
AND YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T SERVE ITS PURPOSE.
YEAH, THAT'S ALL I WANT TO CLARIFY.
SO BASICALLY LET'S SAY, OKAY, 1200 LOT IF YOU 800.
AND THEY HAVE NO ROOM FOR CAR PARKING.
SO, SO WHERE THEY PARK, BECAUSE NORMALLY YOU, YOU, YOU BUILD A HOUSE, YOU NEED TO PROVIDE A PARKING INSIDE THE PROPERTY.
NOW IN THE STREET, THE STREETS ARE PROBABLY WAY AWAY.
SO, SO IN THAT CASE, THEN THE CARS WERE PARKED ALL THE PLACES ON THE STREET.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK ALL THE COUNSELORS WORRY ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD BE THE FUTURE, BECAUSE, OKAY, SO YOU SAY THEY CAN SPLIT A LOT.
AND THEN WE DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE PARKING, THE GARAGE, THE CAPO WAS SPACE, BUT THEN TWO COSTS CAN PROVIDE PARKING ON THEIR OWN.
AND THEY MUST, THE STATE DOES NOT ALLOW US TO REQUIRE PARKING.
WE'RE NOT ALLOWED FOR THEM TO DO PARKING, JUST A MISDEMEANOR.
THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ADU USE.
REMEMBER ADU, YOU CAN BUILD AN ADU AND THERE IS NO PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR THAT.
THE, THE, THE VISION BEHIND THIS IS TO PROVIDE HOUSING AND WITHOUT THE REQUIREMENT OF PARKING.
OUR HANDS ARE TIED, BASICALLY.
LET'S SAY IT'S 6,000 SQUARE FEET OR 7,000 SQUARE FEET.
YOU CAN, IT'S UP TO YOU BY TWO, FOUR UNIT.
AND YOU KEEP ONE AS OWNER OCCUPIED AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE ANY PARKING SPACE.
SO MEANING WHAT YOU WANT TO PARK ON THE STREETS LIVE THERE.
SO EACH UNIT, I HAVE A TWO TO THREE, BECAUSE THEN YOU HAVE 12, 12 COSTS ON THE STREET.
AND TO BE CLEAR AS BENIGN SPECIFICALLY, PROHIBITS PARKING RESTRICTION, ETHYLENE SB NINE, PROHIBITS CITIES FROM REQUIRING PARKING.
IF THEY, IF THE PROPERTY IS WITHIN HALF A MILE FROM A PUBLIC TRANSIT STOP OR A PUBLIC TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
SO MOST OF THE CITY IS WITHIN HALF A MILE FROM A PUBLIC TRANSIT STOP.
THERE THERE'S A FEW EXCEPTIONS ON SUCH AS AREAS WITHIN THE SOUTH HILLS.
UM, UM, WELL, AND WE ARE RE REVISITING OUR TRANSPORTATION ROUTES.
SO THAT MAY BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY'RE SO HEAVILY UNDER UTILIZED.
SO, SO THEN THE ABILITY TO RESTRICT, WHAT ABOUT IT DOES SB NINE WOULD, WOULD, WOULD WE BE ALLOWED TO DO SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF, UH, ALLOWING CERTAIN COMMUNITIES TO IMPLEMENT THEIR OWN RESTRICTIONS OR ACTIONS PACKING, HOA STYLE OR SOMETHING OR SOMETHING? YES.
UM, CITIES, THE CITY ITSELF, UM, OR, OR PEOPLE WITHIN THE STREET FOR OUR MUNICIPAL CODE CAN REQUIRE A PARK, UM, PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM AND WITH, AND IF THE CITY ADOPTS OR THE STREET ADOPTS A PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM, THEN THE RESIDENTS OF THE URBAN LOT SPLIT WOULD NOT BE, UM, RE ALLOWED TO GET A PARKING PERMIT.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE, THAT, THAT'S ONE OF THE, I GUESS, ITEMS IN THE CODE THAT MAY DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM SUBDIVIDING, THEIR LOTS IN CONSTRUCTING AN URBAN DWELLING UNIT.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, SO, UH, THEY DON'T PROVIDE, WE CANNOT RESTRICT IT.
AND SAY, YOU HAVE PROVIDED THE PARKING SPACE BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH LAND TO PUT PARKING.
SO WE ALLOW THEM TO PARK ANY PLACE THAT THEY WANT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE SAME STREET, THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY CAN SAY, WE WANT SOME KIND OF PARKING, PUT ME ON PARKING RESTRICTION, RIGHT? DEMOCRACY.
IF, IF THE, THE AREA THEY SAY, HEY, WELL, WE JUST DON'T WANT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BECOME OLDER.
ALL THE CAR, PARKING, ALL THE PLACES SO THEY CAN REQUEST AND THE CT TO APPROVE.
THEN WE WILL SAY NO PARKING CERTAIN TIME OR PARKING PERMIT, SO RESTRICTED.
SO WE WILL TELL THE PEOPLE WANT TO BUILD
[01:40:01]
A BETTER, TO BE CAREFUL.THEY MIGHT HAVE THEIR NEIGHBOR.
SO WE MAYBE HAVE THIS PROTECTION.
AM I RIGHT? THAT'S IN THE CODE, THAT'S IN THE RIGHT.
SO, SO IT IS WHAT THE ASSUMPTION, THE NEIGHBOR.
WE AS A GOVERNMENT, WE HAVE NO CHOICE TO APPROVE THEM.
UM, MY LAST QUESTION, DOES IT AFFECT OF HOW MANY ROOMS CAN BE BUILT PER UNIT, UM, WHICH OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN STAY WITHIN THE HOUSEHOLD? I'M JUST CONCERNED IF THAT HAS SOME CHANGES TO, AND THEY DECIDED TO BUILD, YOU KNOW, STANDARD, YOU KNOW, ROOMS OR MAKE IT SMALLER AND JUST MAKE MULTIPLE ROOMS AND HAVE MORE PEOPLE IT'S SIMILAR TO THE EIGHT, UM, THE ADU LAWS.
WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RESTRICT THEM NUMBER OF BEDROOMS THAT THEY CAN HAVE FOR UNIT.
HOWEVER, IT IS RESTRICTED BY BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS.
SO IN THE BUILDING CODE, THERE IS A CERTAIN TYPE OF CERTAIN DIMENSIONS ROOMS ARE, HAVE TO BE SO THAT THAT CAN POTENTIALLY LIMIT THE NUMBER OF BEDROOMS THAT THEY CAN HAVE WITHIN THE 800 SQUARE FOOT UNIT.
SO THEY CAN MAKE IT INTO AN APARTMENT TYPE OF STYLE OR LIKE STUDIO TYPE OF, OR ANYTHING THAT THEY WANT.
DON'T SOMEONE I WANT TO FOLLOW UP THE PARKING THING.
SO CAN WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE WANT TO APPLY TO SPLIT THEIR LAWN TO VIEW THIS IS A HIGH DENSITY DRAWING.
AND CAN WE TELL THEM, HEY, IF YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO PARK CAR, YOU MIGHT HAVE, UH, ISSUE DUE TO, OKAY.
THE STREET, THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY MIND OKAY TO VOTE, YOU HAVE NO PARKING OR SOMETHING.
CAN WE DO THAT TO GET THEM UNDERSTAND THE RISK? OKAY.
THE POSSIBLE, WHERE IT HAPPENED? I THINK, UH, COUNCILMAN WILL.
UM, THAT'S PART OF THE WAY THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN, UM, WHERE THEY WON'T BE ALLOWED TO APPLY OR OBTAIN ONE OF THOSE PARKING PASSES, SHOULD THEIR COMMUNITY EVEN MENTIONED ANYTHING.
IT WILL BE PART OF THE ORDINANCE.
SO THEY SHOULD BE AWARE WHEN THEY APPLY WHAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO.
PEOPLE THEY WANT TO SPLIT THE LAW AND DO SOMETHING.
IT CAN DEFINITELY NOTIFY THEM OR INFORM THEM.
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE PUSHING FOR IS IT SHOULD BE CLEAR ON THE APPLICATION OF THE LIMITATIONS.
I THINK IT'S ONE TO LET THEM KNOW THEY HAVE A RISK.
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY CAN ALLOW THE BUILDING NO MATTER WHAT.
AND THEY'D HAVE NO RESTRICTION, NO RISK.
AND THE CAN SPLIT BY RIOT BECAUSE THEY ALLOWED THEM TO DO IT.
IT'S THE INVESTOR PRETEND THEY ARE THE, ON THE OCCUPY.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE SAY YOU MIGHT HAVE A RISK THAT YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU ALTERED THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
OR EVEN STANDARD THAT THE AREA OFTEN NEIGHBORS THAT CAN COME OUT SAY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A NO PARKING BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO COME HOME.
I EVEN GO INTO THEIR DRIVEWAY.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PEACEFUL OF, UH, OUR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD THAT EVERYBODY LIVE IN PEACE MAKES SENSE.
THAT IS THAT'S IN THE CODE AND THE URGENCY ORDINANCE.
AND, UM, AND THAT IS ALSO GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE COVENANT THAT THE APPLICANTS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN, SIGN AND GET RECORDED.
AND WE, UM, THE CITY'S PLAN IS TO PROVIDE ALL THAT INFORMATION AND THE APPLICATION, AND ALSO HAVE A WEBPAGE, UH, IN OUR, IN OUR WEBSITE DIRECTLY DEVOTED TO URBAN LOT SPLITS AND URBAN DWELLING UNITS SO THAT THEY, THAT THEY CAN GO TO THAT IN OUR INFORMATION.
I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A CLEAR LANGUAGE TO THE PEOPLE WANT TO APPLY, UNDERSTAND, OKAY.
WE DON'T WANT TO NOT REQUEST THE GARAGE, THE PARKING, BUT DOESN'T MEAN YOU JUST CAN BILL AND TO GET AND GET AWAY.
THAT'LL AVOID CONFUSION AND POTENTIAL FUTURE COMBAT AND SAY, CICD DIDN'T WANT THEM AND NOW THEIR BILL AND THEY CAN APART THEIR COPIES NEIGHBOR, GET TOGETHER, MAKE SURE THE STREET CANNOT PUCK A LOT OF COSTS.
UM, YOU KNOW, SB NINE, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS.
UM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE STATE, YOU KNOW, MANDATES THIS, THAT WE IMPLEMENT SOMETHING OR POLICY INTO OUR CITY OF, UM, WHERE PEOPLE CAN SPLIT THEIR LOTS AND CREATE MORE DWELLINGS AND, UM, GET RID OF OUR GREEN BELTS.
AND, UH, I, UM, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, BUT, UM, I REALIZED THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE DONE AND I UNDERSTAND, AND I HOPE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO SPLIT THEIR LOTS REALLY THINK REALLY HARD ON THAT AND NOT JUST THINK ABOUT THE PROFITS THAT MAYBE THEY WANT TO MAKE AND THAT THEY THINK ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS
[01:45:01]
AND THE CONGESTION THAT IT'S GOING TO CAUSE.BUT, UM, I JUST, UM, I HOPE THAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PARKING AND NOT HAVE, UH, TWO CARS PARKED OUT THERE OR, BUT, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S MY FEELING ABOUT THIS.
UH, I WANT TO FOLLOW UP, I THINK I AGREE WITH A MALE PROTEIN.
I THINK WE NEED TO FIND SOME KIND OF MECHANISM.
TEGRITY OF OUR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THE, THE STAY WALLACE TO BECOME LIKE A BUNCH OF CONDO AND THIS AND THAT.
AND THAT IS POTENTIALLY PROBLEMATIC FOR OUR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
HOW WE CAN DO COMPLY WITH A STAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE SENATE.
AND, UH, UH, AND THE ASSEMBLY AND ASSIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR.
SO IT'S BASICALLY, IT'S A LAW.
WHY NOW? CAUSE SO WHAT WE, AS A CITY LEVEL, HOW WE CAN DO AND TO PROTECT US A MALE POTENT TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO, WE ALL, I THINK WE, WE PREDOMINANTLY OKAY.
DISAGREE WITH THIS, BUT NOTHING WE CAN DO SINCE IT'S ALREADY SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIND SOME WAY BY THE PARKING TO LET HER UNDERSTAND AT THE SAME TIME STREAK.
UH, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE OCCUPANCY OKAY.
COMPLY WITH THE STATE GUIDELINE.
SO IN THE LANGUAGE IT HAS TO BE VERY CLEAR.
SO IT'S NO, NOTHING THEY CAN THINK ABOUT.
THERE'S SOME INVESTOR CAN COME IN AND TRY TO MAKE A BUCK.
AND, UH, WE DON'T HAVE A CONTROL.
MAYOR PRO TEM MENTIONED ABOUT.
AND I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THAT THE, UM, SB NINE IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO OUR ONE ZONED LOTS.
SO IT WOULD NOT BE APPLICABLE TO PROPERTIES THAT ARE IN A SPECIFIC PLAN.
IT WOULD NOT BE APPLICABLE TO PROPERTIES IN THE PCD ONE AREA, WHICH IS THE AREA NEAR EMAR, AZUSA SOUTH OF THE CITY.
UH, IT, IT WOULD NOT BE APPLICABLE TO RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURE ZONE PROPERTIES AND IT WILL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO MULTIFAMILY.
RESIDENTIAL ZONE PROPERTIES ONLY ARE ONE ZONE.
SO THE FIRST ONE YOU MENTIONED IS THAT THE BLUE, YES.
THE BLUE IS A HOA AND, AND PROPERTIES THAT REQUIRE A SPECIFIC PLAN SUCH AS DOWNTOWN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
AND ALSO THE PROPERTIES SUCH AS THE MERITAGE DEVELOPMENT, UM, ON, ON VINCENT, THE OLD VINCENT SCHOOL SITE AND ALSO THE LOUIS HOME DEVELOPMENT AND ON THE OLD ROLAND.
SO BASICALLY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A PUD PLENTI DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.
SO ALL THE PUD IS NOT QUALIFIED TO SPLIT.
ONLY ARE ONES ON PROPERTY, ALL ONES ONLY.
SO THE BLUE ONE IS OPU D VMT IMPLANT DEVELOPMENT CAN BE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE CAN BE CONDO.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE SOUTH SIDE ALSO IS HOME IS SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE, BUT THERE ARE PUD ARIZONA PCD ONE.
SO IT'S A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
SO OVER THERE THEY CAN US A BIT.
NOW MOST OF THOSE LOTS ARE SMALLER.
SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE SOUTH SIDE.
SO THE NO SIDE, BUT THE, HOW ABOUT THE YELLOW? OKAY.
A YELLOW BROWN ON THE BOTTOM ONE, THE CASE, THESE ARE OUR ONES.
SO THESE QUALIFY AND NOTE THAT THE LARGER YELLOW SQUARES ARE EITHER SKILLED HOME.
I JUST LOST SIGHT IS ABOUT 6,007,000.
THEY'RE NOT PUD BECAUSE THEY ARE OLDER HOME DEPUTY IN 1915.
ALL THE MUSTARD COLOR RIGHT NOW, THE MAJORITY OF THE MAP, THAT'S ALL OUR ONE THAT CAN BE THAT QUALIFIES FOR THIS.
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE CITY.
IS THAT OUR A UM, NO, THE GREEN IS OUR, A, THE LARGER YELLOWS, UM, ARE, ARE THE LIGHT YELLOW, WHAT'S THE LIGHT YELLOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
CULTURE, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURE THAT CANNOT BE SPLIT.
SO THERE'S A AGRICULTURE, MEANING YOU HAVE A LOT POSSIBLE HOST PROPERTY SO THEY CAN SPLIT.
THOSE ARE PROBABLY THE BEST TARGETS, BUT HEY, OH, LUCKY DAMN HER.
SO ALL THE, ALL THE BROWN ONE OCA YELLOW ONE THAT CAN BE SPLIT.
THAT'S AN ALMOST 70% OF OUR CITY.
[01:50:01]
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE, UH, PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO, ESPECIALLY INVESTOR WHAT WE ARE ALSO INCORPORATING IN OUR CODE, OUR OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS WITHOUT, WITHOUT, UM, ADOPTING THE URGENCY ORDINANCE TONIGHT, WE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO INCORPORATE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS.WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO STRICTLY FOLLOW STATE, STATE LAW WITHOUT, UM, BEING WITHOUT, UM, BEING, HAVING THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE OR LOOK AT ARCHITECTURE.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT WE ARE REQUIRING IS THAT ANY ADDITIONS TO ANY EXISTING STRUCTURES WOULD HAVE THIS HAVE THE SAME COLOR MATERIALS AND ARCHITECTURAL STYLE.
AS, AS THE EXISTING STRUCTURE PORCHES, WE ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRING A FRONT PORCH, UM, AND AN ENTRANCE ALONG THE FRONT ELEVATION, WE ARE REQUIRING AT LEAST TWO BUILDING MATERIALS ON, ON ALL ELEVATIONS IN THE BUILDING MATERIALS WOULD BE EITHER STUCCO, BRICK, WOOD ROCKS, OR STONE DECORATIVE HAND PAINTED TILES.
SO IT NOT JUST IN THE FRIENDS, IN ALL ELEVATIONS.
SO WHEN WE ARE REQUIRING WINDOW TREATMENTS AND ALL THE WINDOWS AND, OR I'M SORRY, JOANNE IS THIS STATE GUIDELINE, OR THIS IS A CITY ORDINANCE CITY.
CITIES ARE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ADDING.
SO WE ADD IN THIS THEME FOR DELL GUIDELINES, IF THEY WANT TO BE A SPLIT.
TH THESE ARE THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS AS CITIES THAT THE STATE HAS ALLOWED CITIES HAS ALLOWED CITIES TO ADD WITHOUT OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS, WE WOULD HAVE JUST HAVE TO APPROVE ANYTHING FROM OUR SUBCOMMITTEE FOR DESIGN REVIEW GUIDELINES.
THESE ARE WHAT WE DID WAS WE INCORPORATED SOME DOES THAT SOME OF OUR, THE SUBCOMMITTEE DESIGN GUIDELINES WITH SOME OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE DOWNTOWN PLAN IN CODE.
UH, I HAVE A QUESTION TO WAIT, DO WE HAVE, UH, OKAY.
UH, FOR THE FILE HAS US ALL THE SAFETY, HAVE WE WAS THIS KIND OF A SMALLER LOTS SPLIT? OKAY.
HOPE WE NEED TO F UH, OUR BIO DEPARTMENT OR BUILDING SAFETY TO LOOK INTO POTENTIALLY BY ENGINE CANNOT GET IN OR SOMETHING Y'ALL ALL LATS AND CONSTRUCTION WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH BOTH THE BUILDING CODE AND THE FIRE CODE.
SO IF IT COMPLIES WITH THE BUILDING CODE AND THE FIRE CODE, THEN THE CONSTRUCTION WOULD HAVE, WOULD BE ALLOWED.
SO IF, IF THE FIRE CODE REQUIRES A 20 FOOT WIDE ACCESS, UM, FOR, FOR THE LOTS, THEN, THEN THAT, FOR THEM, THAT WOULD HAVE TO, THEN THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THAT BASICALLY SAFETY NUMBER ONE.
SO WE, AT LEAST WE HAVE SOME OTHER THING WE CAN LOOK INTO AS A SAFETY.
UM, JOANNE, WILL THE NEIGHBORHOOD BE NOTICED WHEN SOMEBODY WANTS TO SUBDIVIDE? WELL, BECAUSE IT'S STATE REQUIRES THAT CITIES AND MUNICIPALITIES APPROVE THESE DEVELOPMENTS MINISTERIALLY SO MEANING BY RIGHT BASED ON THE CITY'S ADOPTED CODE OR THE STATE CODE.
SO WE WOULD BE STRICTLY DISALLOWED FROM NOTICING ANY REQUESTS.
I THINK IT'S SIMILAR TO OUR REHAB OR THIS WE HAVE STATE, WE HAVE TO, DON'T TELL YOU THE RESIDENT, THEY JUST POP ON YOUR NEIGHBOR.
AND ANY OF THOSE LICENSES BY DSS ARE VITAL.
AND THE CITY OF SAN JOSE, WE HAVE NO SAY SHE HAS THE CITY DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE 80 USE IT'S BY, RIGHT.
UM, WE, AS FAR AS PART OF THE R D OR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, UNLESS THERE IS NO PHYSICAL WAY, THEY CAN BUILD A ONE STORY, UH, ONE STORY, UM, ONE STORY, 800 SQUARE FOOT UNIT.
UM, THE, THE DEVELOPMENT, IT WOULD BE LIMITED TO ONE STORY.
IF THERE'S NO WAY THAT THEY CAN BUILD A ONE-STORY FIXING FOOT HEIGHT, UM, 800 SQUARE FOOT UNIT, THEN THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED A TWO-STORY MAXIMUM HEIGHT WOULD BE 25 FEET.
AND ON THE SECOND FLOOR FOR PRIVACY TOO, TO PROTECT PRIVACY IMPACTS, WE WOULD NOT ALLOW WINDOWS ON THE SIDE, ELEVATION THAT OUR INGRESS OR EGRESS, THEY WOULD HA THEY WOULD BE LIMITED TO CLERESTORY WINDOWS THAT ARE FIVE FEET ABOVE THE FLOOR LEVEL.
WE WILL NOT ALLOW EXTERIOR STAIRS AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW DECKS.
SO IF YOU ARE IN THE PREDOMINANT SINGLE FAMILY
[01:55:01]
HOUSE, ONE STORY.SO IF THIS SPLIT, THEN WE HAVE NO CHOICE ALLOWED THEM TO BUILD TWO STORY.
SO I'M ONLY TWO STORY WOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED IF THERE IS NO PHYSICAL WAY THAT A ONE STORY, 800 PER SQUARE FOOT UNIT.
SO YES, THE ANSWER IS IF WE GET CORNERED, THEY MUST BE, YES, MOST, MOST PROPERTIES WOULD, WOULD BE, UM, WOULD BE ABLE TO CONSTRUCT THE ONE STORY.
BUT THERE ARE, THERE MAY BE CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE LA THE LOT SHAPE IS NOT SQUARE TRIANGLE AND VERY ODD.
AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE LAW IS VERY SMALL.
SO THAT IS, THAT IS, THAT WOULD BE A VERY UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE, BUT MOST LOTS IN THE CITY WOULD, WOULD QUALIFY FOR A ONE-STORY.
BUT NO MATTER WHAT THIS YEAR, YES.
BUT THERE ARE POSSIBILITIES WE WOULD HAVE TO INCLUDE, RIGHT.
IF THEY CANNOT DO THAT, WE HAVE TO ALLOW THEM TO BUTTE TO STORY.
SO, SO THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO CONFUSE TO A STORY, NO MATTER HOW THEY BUY.
AND THEN THE EXISTING GUIDELINES FOR THE WINDOWS AND PRIVACY AS THE EXISTING GUIDELINE FOR THIS.
YES, THAT'S EXISTING, BUT WE'RE ADOPTING IT IN THE CODE BECAUSE WE NEED TO DO OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS.
SO WE, SO THAT EVERYBODY WOULD SEE WHAT'S IN THE CODE AND KNOW, KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S REQUIRED.
AND THEN THE ROUGH DESIGN, WE WILL NOT ALLOW FLAT ROOFS OR OUR SHED ROOFS.
WE WOULD ONLY ALLOW GABLE, DUTCH GABLE OR HIP ROOFS.
AND IF THEY ARE, IF THEY'RE PLANNING A SPANISH STYLE OR PROPOSING SPANISH STYLE OR MEDITERRANEAN STYLE HOUSE, JEN, I'M SORRY.
CAN YOU SAY GABRIELLE, BASICALLY, IT'S A TRIANGLE, THIS, THIS SHAPE.
SO THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE FLAT.
UM, AND THEN IF THEY HAVE SPANISH OR MEDITERRANEAN STYLE, THEY HAVE TO HAVE ROUNDED OR S ROOF TILES.
THEY CAN'T HAVE, UM, ASPHALT SHINGLES IF IT'S MEDITERRANEAN STYLE.
AND THEN AS FAR AS THE COLOR PALETTE, THEY HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO COLORS FOR THE, FOR THE MAIN ONE COLOR FOR THE MAIN WALL IN A DIFFERENT COLOR FOR THE TRIM.
SO TH THIS IS A CITY ORDINANCE, RIGHT? YES.
AND THEN THIS LAST SLIDE SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ADU IN AN URBAN DWELLING UNIT.
SO IN EIGHTIES ARE ALLOWED ON ALL RESIDENTIAL ZONES.
SO IF A, IF OF MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE PROPERTY, ONCE SUPPLY FOR AN ADU, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE 80 USE QUESTION.
UH, ON THE ADU, IF THEY ARE PUD, THEY CAN TAKE A BILL.
SO, SO BASICALLY IN THE SOUTH SIDE, OR THEY CANNOT BE TAKEN AS SPLIT, BUT THEY CAN BE AN ADU, EVEN A SMALL LOT.
AND WE'VE, WE'VE HAD A FEW APPLICATIONS WHERE THEY CONVERTED IN THE GARAGE INTO AN 80 UNIT.
SO IN THE, THEY'RE ALREADY A PUD, THEY CONVERTED GARAGE BECOME THE ADU.
THEY PARKED THE CAR, THE SMALL DRIVEWAY IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
I THINK THEY WOULD PARK ON THE STREET.
THAT TO, UH, M AND FOR URBAN DWELLING UNITS ONLY IN R ONE ZONE PROPERTIES, UM, 80 HUGHES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SEPARATE ADDRESS.
URBAN DWELLING UNITS ARE QUICK QUESTION WITH THE SEPARATE ADDRESS.
DOES THAT MEAN THEY CAN THEN LATER SELL THAT PROPERTY BECAUSE IT'S ITS OWN UNIT, ITS OWN SEPARATE ADDRESS.
THEY WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL EACH, UM, EACH UNIT WITHIN THE LAW INDIVIDUALLY, BUT THEY CAN SELL EACH INDIVIDUAL LAW.
IF THE LIE HAS A TWO UNIT, THEY'LL HAVE THE SAME STORY.
I MEAN, IF THEY SPLIT THE LOT ITSELF, WHEN THEY SPLIT THE LICENSE BECOME TOO LOT AND THEY CAN SELL THAT.
THEY DON'T DO IT'S ON MY STREET.
SO TECHNICALLY IF THEY DID THAT, THEY THEY'LL FULFILL THE ADDRESS, UM, IN THE MIDDLE OF EACH HOME.
AND I WAS JUST THINKING THEY COULD JUST TECHNICALLY CONSIDER THAT ITS OWN PROPERTY.
AND SO THAT, THAT DOESN'T APPLY FOR THIS.
AND IN THIS CASE, WE, THE ADDRESS THAT WE WOULD ASSIGN IS, IS A, B A B ADDRESS.
IT WOULDN'T BE A SEPARATE NUMBER.
BECAUSE IN OUR STREET IT ACTUALLY SKIPS.
THERE ARE NORMALLY ABOUT FOUR, FOUR DIGIT OR EIGHT DIGIT.
[02:00:01]
SIZE, THE MAXIMUM SIZE IS DIFFERENT, IS DIFFERENT AS WELL.IN THE, IN STATE LAW, THE TH THE MINIMUM THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO THE MINIMUM, WE WOULD HAVE TO ALLOW AT LEAST AN 800 SQUARE FOOT URBAN DWELLING UNIT.
SO IN THIS CASE, WE'RE MAKING THEM THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OR MAXIMUM.
SO THEY CAN'T, THEY CANNOT HAVE MORE THAN 800 SQUARE FEET.
WHEN THEY SPLIT THE LAW, WHEN THEY SELL THEIR UNIT, BUT THEY STILL CAN SELL THE UNIT.
SO LET'S SAY SOMEBODY PERCHES ON THE OAKLAND PIE.
AND DID BILL, LET'S SAY FOUR UNIT, TWO UNIT ON THE ONE LOT, TWO UNIT ONE LOT.
SO HE CAN, HE WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO SELL THE ONE LOT.
AS LONG AS HE DICTATES THREE YEARS.
SO, BUT IF HE'S SELLING A LOT AND THE WEEK THIS GUY GET CAUGHT, HE DIDN'T LIVE OVER THERE.
SO WHAT, WHAT KIND OF THING WE CAN DO HERE IS TELL THE ALARM, MAKE A PROFIT.
SO WHAT KIND OF A TEASE WE HAVE? THAT'LL BE TOM'S JOB.
RIGHT? TOM, WE SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF A MULTIPLE WAYS OF THE THREE YEAR ON THE CONVENANCE, BECAUSE WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THEY, THEY, THEY DON'T THINK OF BUDGET ON THE CT.
AND THE, THE THING THAT, OH, THIS IS THE ONLY DEFENSE WE HAVE.
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A DON'T HAVE ANY DEFENSE BESIDE IT.
THEY DON'T TRY TO CHEAT STRONG ENFORCEABLE.
SO THEY WANT TO BUILD AND TRY TO CHEAT.
I THINK THIS IS THE MECHANISM WE HAVE.
MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS 16 FEET OR BOTH BE DRIVE.
THE MAXIMUM DRIVEWAY WITH ALLOWED IS FOUR 80.
USE THE WIDTH OF GARAGE, PLUS 12 FEET OR 20 FEET.
IF THERE IS NO GARAGE OR URBAN DWELLING UNITS, IT'S, IT'S THE WIDTH OF THE GARAGE OR 12 FEET.
AND THEN THE LAST, THE LAST LINE WAS REGARDING THE PARKING PERMIT ISSUE THAT WE'VE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED.
IF THIS IS RECOMMENDED, THE CITY COUNCIL CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT URGENCY ORDINANCE, NUMBER 24, 9, YOU JOANNE FOR THAT.
UM, AND LET'S CONTINUE THE QUESTIONS BY COUNCIL, UH, COUNCILWOMAN LOPEZ.
UM, UH, THE, WHEN THEY'RE BUILDING AND SO FORTH, ARE WE GOING TO, WELL HERE, LET ME, IT JUST CAUGHT ME.
CAN THEY ACTUALLY UTILIZE THE GARAGE AND START CHANGING IT AND BE PART OF A UNIT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? ELIMINATE THE GARAGE USE TO BUILD.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE EVERY HOME.
THAT'D BE ONE OF THE FOUR UNITS YEAH.
THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY DECIDED, OKAY, I'M NOT EVEN GONNA USE THE GARAGE, UH, FOR ITS PURPOSE, BECAUSE WE DO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE TURNING OTHER GARAGES INTO HOMES, UNITS, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND SO THAT'S MY CONCERN WITH THIS SITUATION HERE, AS WE WERE BUILDING AND DOING ALL THIS.
SO FOR, FOR THE ATU, YOU CAN CONVERT YOUR GARAGE INTO AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.
HOWEVER, FOR, FOR AN URBAN DWELLING UNIT, IF YOU WERE GOING TO USE THIS EXAM, UM, EXAMPLE ONE, UM, HERE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY, UM, AND LEAVE THE EXISTING HOUSE AS IS, AND BUILD AN URBAN DWELLING UNIT AND THE OTHER PROPERTY, THE EXISTING HOUSE HAS TO RETAIN ITS GARAGE, BUT THEY CAN CHANGE THEIR EXISTING HOUSE AND DECIDE TO LIKE, DO A FULL REMODEL AND THEN REMOVE THE GARAGE AND MAKE THAT INTO UNITS.
UM, UNLESS THEY WOULD BE, UM, TH THE ONLY WAY THAT THEY CAN REMOVE THEIR CURRENT GARAGE IS IF THEY CONVERT IT INTO AN ADU, WHICH IS NOW CURRENTLY ALLOWED.
THE OTHER QUESTIONS COMES FROM ANDREW WHEN YOU SPLIT THE LOT IS LIKE THE WAY, SO YOU DON'T NEED TO EVEN WORRY ABOUT THE ASSESSABLE.
THE CAR CAN DRIVE IN THE BACK.
JUST PARK THE CAR INDUSTRY, AND IT'S WALKING TO THE BACK UNIT, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE, OKAY, SPLIT TWO LOT, YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME GUIDELINE BECAUSE IF THEY WANT TO SELL IT A LOT TO LANDLOCK INSIDE HOW THEY ASSES OKAY TO INSIDE.
IF YOU GO TO THE FULL UNIT, 12 FEET, I'M SORRY.
[02:05:01]
AT LEAST 12 FEET OF, OF STREET FRONTAGE.SO IN, FOR INSTANCE, IN EXAMPLE, ONE THEY'RE SUBDIVIDING IT HORIZONTALLY AND THEY, SO IT'S BASICALLY A FLAG LAW.
SO THE BACKLOT HAS TO HAVE AT LEAST 12 FEET OF STREET FRONTAGE WHERE CAR VEHICLES CAN GO IN.
TOW VEHICLE CAN GO INTO, OKAY.
SO IN THAT WAY, THEY DON'T HAVE TO BUILD A GARAGE.
HE DID NOT HAVE TO BUILD A GARAGE, BUT THEY CAN HAVE THE CAR GOING INSIDE.
THEY DON'T NEED TO BUILD A GARAGE.
AND WHAT ABOUT LIKE EXAMPLE NUMBER TWO, THOSE TOP TWO UNITS, UM, WOULD THEY BE REQUIRED TO HAVE ACCESS? UM, WELL, THE ACCESS WOULD BE ON, ON, IT WOULD JUST BE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS FOR THE REAR UNIT.
SO THE NUMBER TWO, BASICALLY THE BECKY AND I JUST HAVE TO WALK IN NO NEED FOR CO ASSETS.
OH, THERE'LL BE PARKING ON OUR STREETS.
AND THE OLDEST CTE , THEY WERE POPPING OUR CT.
SO IF, IF A DEVELOPER WOULD, OR, UH, A PROPERTY OWNER WERE TO BUILD THE, UH, URBAN DWELLING UNIT, THIS THE WAY NUMBER TWO IS IT, UM, IS SHOWN HERE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO, UM, IT WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND IN BASICALLY SELL IT OR, OR LET THE, LET POTENTIAL HOMEOWNERS KNOW THAT THEY'RE BASICALLY NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE CARS.
SO BASICALLY TO NOW WE DON'T HAVE IT TOO MUCH TO SAY THAT'S CORRECT.
SO THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS OKAY.
AND TO APPROVE IT BECAUSE WE HAVE NO CHOICE AND JUST REALLY TRY TO IMPLEMENT THE STRONG COVENANTS.
AND WE HAVE THE STRONG COMMENTS AND A CODE ENFORCEMENT OR THE, ON THE OCCUPY.
AND THEN WE HAVEN'T FIND A WAY IF THEY, THEY TRIED TO GET AWAY TO SELL THE SPLIT LOT, BUT THEY NEVER LIVE OVER THERE.
WHAT IS THE KIND OF THE T A D UNDERSTAND FROM THE BEGINNING? SO IF THEY PUBLICITY WANT TO DO SOMETHING, TRY TO MAKE A BUCK.
WE NEED TO TELL THEM THIS IS NOT FOR YOU TO TRY TO GET AN EASY MONEY, SUPPOSEDLY TO PROVIDE MORE HOUSING, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT NOT FOR PEOPLE TO TRY TO CREATE SOME KIND OF A FLIP OR SOMETHING.
FLIP, FLIP, BECAUSE WHY NOT HAVE A LOT OF FLIP.
BESIDES JUST, I GO ROB STAMP TO APPROVE THIS TOO.
CAN WE DO ANYTHING UNTIL WE, CAN WE ADD ANYTHING? IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE NOTHING.
WE CAN ADD ANY SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE KIND OF LOOKED AT ALL OUR OPTIONS AND HE'S MARRIED.
WE'VE HAD COUNCIL, UM, LOOK AT IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND PUSH LIMITS AS FAR AS WE CAN.
AND, AND AS JOANNE SAID, WE ARE ALLOWED TO NOW ADD SOME OBJECTIVE STANDARDS BEFORE JANUARY 1ST, JANUARY 2ND.
IF, IF WE DIDN'T APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, THEN OUR HANDS WOULD BE TIED AND THEY WOULD PUT UP WHATEVER.
SO, OH, HOW TO DO THIS? NOW, IF THINGS CHANGE, WE WILL COME BACK AND BRING THIS TO YOU TO A MAN.
AND, AND DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS AND MAYBE FEEL IT OKAY, I WILL DO, WE NEED TO GO TO PUBLIC PUBLIC.
SO ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL BEFORE WE PROCEED? OKAY.
UH, IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS ORDINANCE? YEAH.
I DON'T HAVE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR, BUT I DO HAVE AN AGENDA POSITION.
SLIP OF ONE PERSON WHO IS IN FAVOR, UH, MS. JERRY PATRISSE, SHE SAID IN THE COMMENT IS PLEASE DO ALL YOU CAN TO PRESERVE OUR CITY.
UH, ANY OTHER CARDS WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS ORDINANCE? MAYOR? I HAVE TWO CARDS FOR OPPOSITION.
GRITCH FOLLOWED BY OUR ROBINSON.
I'M NOT CERTAIN, I'M ACTUALLY AN OPPOSITION.
DOES THIS OVERTURN ALL THE CC AND RS OR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS? I DON'T THINK IT APPLIES TO THAT ZONING.
THEN THE QUESTION OF THE NEXT QUESTION IS, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT STOPS OUR ONE HOUSES FROM BECOMING, UM, A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION? CCNRS? GOOD QUESTION.
I ASKED THAT EARLIER, BUT IN RELATION TO PARKING, I I'M TALKING
[02:10:01]
ABOUT A BIGGER ISSUE HERE.UH, LET'S LET'S, LET'S PICK A CALL TO STACK.
IT CAN BECOME, UH, AN, UH, HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION WITH COVENANTS.
UH, YOUR ATTORNEY, WOULD THAT BE DOABLE? MAYBE I CAN COUNT THEM IN.
WILL YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE I'M IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS? I KIND OF UNDERSTAND ABOUT TWOS SET UP A NEW HOA IS NOT AS SIMPLE.
YOU NEED TO HAVE A ENTIRE OKAY.
ON THE, IN THE SAME AGREEMENT.
AND THEN WE HAVE TO POST, OKAY.
JUST LIKE WHEN YOU VIEW A NEW HOME, YOU'LL NEED TO SET UP THE HOA AS A POD.
I DON'T KNOW THAT MAYBE ATTORNEY CAN LOOK INTO IT.
BECAUSE THIS IS EXISTING, OLD HOME AT NO HOA.
AND NOW WE WANT TO USE, THEY WANT TO USE SOMETHING TO DO IT.
AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME, MY UNDERSTANDING BASED ON THE STATE GUIDELINES IS AS A PUD IS A PLAN DEVELOPMENT FROM THE BEGINNING.
AND THEY ALREADY DID IT SIMPLE AS A SOUTH SIDE, THEY HAD PLENTY, PLENTY UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND PLUS ALL THE NEW ONE WE ARE BUILDING.
AND THIS IS A TOWNHOUSE IN POD, SO IT'S NOT OKAY.
SO I DON'T KNOW THE ONE OR THE OLD ONE IS THAT POSSIBLE.
COUNCIL MEMBER WHERE THERE'S A STATE STATUTE THAT GOVERNS THE CREATION OF THIS.
THERE'S, THERE'S ALMOST INCORPORATE THE BEGINNING, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE STATE STATUTES.
I THINK IT'S THE DAVIS STERLING ACT, DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT SAYS.
HOA DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE THE PEN PLANT AGAIN, A PUD OR COULD BE A REAL SIMPLE ONE.
I THINK THE PARKING IS A MAJOR ISSUE.
UH, THAT'S WHERE I'M HEADED WITH THIS.
I THINK THERE'S A, AN AVENUE RELATIVE TO PARKING THAT COULD BE PURSUED ON UNDER THE, UH, COVENANTS ON HOS.
AND, UH, THE CITY ALREADY HAS ORDINANCES ABOUT PARKINGS AND HOW THE RESIDENTS CAN SELECT THEIR OWN PARKING RESTRICTIONS.
I THINK IT COULD BE MADE MUCH MORE ELABORATE THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW AND ACCOMPLISH THE OBJECTIVE, WHICH IS TRYING TO AVOID THE MESS ON THE STREETS.
MAYBE WE COULD, UH, LOOK AT THAT MORE CLOSELY, PERHAPS INITIATE A STUDY SESSION BY OUR PLANNING COMMISSION.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER MAYOR IS R ROBINSON AND HE IS A POST SB NINE.
UH, THIS IS PROOF POSITIVE THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS POPULATED BY MORONS AND THE GOVERNORS OF MORON FOR SIGNING IT.
I MEAN, ZONING SHOULD BE LOCAL AND THIS IS A MONSTROSITY.
IT OBVIOUSLY HASN'T BEEN THOUGHT OUT.
UH, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD SURVIVE A CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT CHALLENGE.
I THINK YOU OUGHT TO GET TOGETHER WITH THE LEAGUE OF CITIES AND, UH, A COALITION OF A FEW DOZEN CITIES, UH, JUST SUE THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE MAY COME OVERTURN THIS.
I MEAN, THERE'S EASEMENTS, YOU'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT PARKING.
IF THE PEOPLE THAT POPULATE ALL THESE NEW, THIS IS GOING TO ALL THE MUSTARD SECTIONS OF THAT MAP.
IT'S IF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO RIDE AROUND ON SKATEBOARDS, YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT BE FEASIBLE, BUT, BUT EVERYBODY THAT MOVES INTO A NEW STRUCTURE USUALLY BRINGS A CAR.
AND OUR CALIFORNIA ROADS ARE PROBABLY A PRETTY STATIC.
THEY CAN'T BE BIG EXPANDED AND, AND, UH, EASEMENTS AND PARKING.
THIS IS JUST OBVIOUSLY NOT FEASIBLE.
AND A COALITION HAS CITIES JUST OVERTURN IT.
I MEAN, DON'T TRY TO COMPLY WITH IT.
UH, IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S, IT'S A MONSTROSITY.
UH, IT SORT OF REMINDS ME OF WHAT, UH, THE AMAZON PROJECT IS GOING TO DO TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
WELL, INSTEAD OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD BEING IMPACTED, THIS IS GOING TO SCREW UP THE WHOLE CITY.
AND IF YOU TURN ONE SIZE FITS ALL AND APPLY IT TO THE WHOLE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
WELL, WE COULD, I'LL JUST YIELD BACK.
MY OTHER THREE MINUTES, WE ALL USED TO EAT.
THIS IS PROOF THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS POPULATED
[02:15:01]
BY MORONS.WE'LL SEE IF ANYTHING COULD BE DONE WITH THE LEAGUE OF CITIES AND SEEQUA MAY I HAVE ONE MORE SPEAKER? WHO'S NEUTRAL.
J D WHAT HAPPENS TO CITIES THAT HAVE THAT MORATORIUM OF NO OVERNIGHT ARKIN? AND IF YOU'RE TRYING TO MITIGATE A PARKING PROBLEM, WOULD THAT BE USEFUL FOR THE CITY OF WEST COVINA SINCE PERMIT PARKING, BUT NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THOSE THAT ARE NOW INHABITING URBAN DEVELOPMENT UNITS, I GUESS, WITH THE CAR OR THAT'S WHAT IT STANDS FOR? SO I'M WONDERING IF THE POD PENN DEVELOPMENT LAND DEVELOPMENT, IF OVERNIGHT MORATORIUM ON OVERNIGHT PARKING WOULD HAVE ANY IMPACT.
CAUSE I KNOW COVINA DOES HAVE THAT CURRENTLY, SO I WONDER HOW THEY'RE GOING TO ROLL OUT FOR THEM, BUT I GUESS THAT'S NOT RELEVANT TO A WEST COVINA, UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN COPY FROM THEM THAT MIGHT MITIGATE THE PARKING SITUATION OF PARKING CONCERN.
IN TERMS THOUGH, I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THE PARKING SITUATION, POTENTIAL PARKING SITUATION, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE CITY HAS ACTIVELY REQUIRED SOME TIME UP TO RECENTLY BEEN PAINTING CURBS RED, THAT LIMITS THE NUMBER OF PARKING AVAILABLE FOR ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS MOVING INTO THE CITY, UM, ON CAMERA AND ALL ALONGSIDE THE HIGH SCHOOL, ALL THE WAY TO THE PARK THAT THAT WAS PAINTED RED, JUST WHEN I FIRST MOVED INTO THE CITY JUST RECENTLY ACROSS THE STREET WAS ALSO THE, UH, CORNER EIGHTH OF THE, THE BLOCK WAS PAINTED RED, UH, WHERE THERE NO PARKING ALLOWED.
SO THAT'S GOING TO CREATE A PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU THINK THAT WE TOOK, UM, AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE AND PASSED IT TO TRY TO MITIGATE THE ADU IMPACTS.
AND WE SEE HOW FAR THAT GOT US, THE STATE OVERRULED.
AND WE BASICALLY, NOW WE'RE STUCK WITH AND NO PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
SO WHILE YOU MAY BE DOING THIS IN HOPE TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM, YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY DONE.
THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO WORSEN THE SITUATION.
IF IN FACT, THE STATE FORCES YOU TO GO THROUGH WITH THEIR PLAN, UM, IF YOU DON'T PROVIDE PARKING OR IF YOU DO GO WITH A PLAN SUCH AS COVINA, WHERE YOU HAVE OVERNIGHT A MORATORIUM ON OVERNIGHT PARKING, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO CREATE A LOT OF ANIMOSITY FROM THOSE THAT DO MOVE INTO THE AREA.
IN TERMS OF BUILDING UP CURRENTLY AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION LEVEL, THE AMOUNT OF WINDOWS, THE SIZE OF THE WINDOWS USUALLY GAUGE BASED ON THE NEIGHBORS, RIGHT? BUT IN THIS CASE, NEIGHBORS DON'T REALLY HAVE A SAY, BUT I I'M HEARING FROM JOANNE THAT YOU'RE BASICALLY GOING TO APPROVE TONIGHT RESTRICTIONS ON THE LEVEL OF WINDOWS, MAYBE THE SIZE AND WHAT HAVE YOU.
SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE WORKING AGAINST THE RESIDENTS THAT WOULD BE MOVING IN TO THAT EXTENT.
I DON'T, I DON'T FIND THAT TO BE PRODUCTIVE.
UM, IF, IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE A S UH, A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS FOR, FOR PLANNING COMMISSION, ABSENT, UH, NEIGHBORS, BUT THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO CONSIDER, HEY, THESE WINDOWS ARE ACCEPTABLE.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO INVADE ANYBODY'S PRIVACY.
UM, Y TONIGHT APPROVE SUCH RESTRICTIONS.
THAT WILL, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S PUNITIVE AS, AS, AS IS THE PAINTING OF THE CURVES READ EXCESSIVELY, IT SEEMS PUNITIVE AND AN UNDERMINES THE STATE'S INITIATIVE HERE, I'M SORRY.
YOU WERE GONNA SAY, WELL, I WAS IN FINISHED, BUT IN TERMS OF THAT, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
UH, THOSE, THE WINDOW, UH, GUIDANCE THAT WE'RE SUGGESTING HERE IS ACTUALLY ALREADY IN PLACE CURRENTLY WITH ADDITIONS, AS I'VE MENTIONED EARLIER, THOSE, UM, RESTRICTIONS ARE THOSE GUIDELINES, UH, ARE TAKEN FROM THE GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN REVIEW.
SO, SO THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT NEW THAT THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE IT ABOVE ALL ELSE.
THOSE CAME FROM WHEN, WHEN ADDITIONS HAVE BEEN DONE, UM, IT, THOSE COME FROM THE
[02:20:01]
SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS VOICING CONCERNS, AND THAT'S HOW THOSE GUIDELINES CAME TO BE.AND I, AND I AGREE WITH YOU IN TERMS OF THE SIZE OF THE WINDOW.
I KNOW THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REQUIRES A NEW WINDOWS WOULD BE A CERTAIN SIZE.
AND I'VE HEARD THAT FROM JEFF ANDERSON BACK WHEN HE WAS IN CHARGE HERE.
UH, BUT I'VE ALSO SEEN EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULES.
AND WHEN THERE HASN'T BEEN OPPOSITION.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S C THAT'S A SEALED DEAL, BUT ANYWAY, MY TIME IS UP.
YOU, YOU ANY, WELL, IT'S ALL STAR, ROUTE SPEAKERS, ANYONE HIDING OUT THERE THAT OKAY.
THAT, UM, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY AND A PORTION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.
AND I'LL ASK THE COUNCIL FOR, OR QUESTION OR QUESTIONS.
I WANT TO MOVE THE MOTION APPROVED SINCE WE HAVE NOT TOO MUCH, WE CAN SAY, OKAY, SO ONE TO MOVE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.
WE WANT TO APPROVE, UH, DIS UH, WITH, UH, UH, CLEAR LANGUAGE REGARDING, UH, WE, THAT THE POSTS I WANT TO APPLY, UNDERSTAND, OKAY.
IF SOME OF THE PARKING I'LL GET ISSUE WITH POTENTIALLY THEIR NEIGHBOR, THEY CAN RESTRICT RESTRICTED TO PARKING.
AND SO THEY UNDERSTAND AND, OH, OKAY.
THE PEOPLE WANT TO CHEAT ASSISTANT, UH, WANT TO, UH, EITHER POVERTY AND PRETEND THEY ARE ON THE OCCUPY.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A OKAY.
ON THE ORDINANCE AND THE OKAY.
AND THE LANGUAGE, TELL THEM IF YOU DO THIS, OKAY.
YOU WILL BE, SOME KIND OF PENALTY AND IT'S ESPECIALLY, AND THEY WANT TO SELL THE PROPERTY SPLIT AND SELL THE PROPERTY AND TO MAKE A PROFIT.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE, OKAY, THIS IS NOT FOR THAT.
IT'S NOT FOR PEOPLE COME OVER, YOU TRY TO FLIP.
SO WE, WE APPROVAL WITH THE GUIDELINE, WITH WHAT WE CAN LET PEOPLE APPLY.
NOW WHAT THEY COME OVER HERE IS A WILD WEST ON DONE.
AND THEN THAT WAY WE WILL, OKAY.
AND TO HAVE A CODE ENFORCEMENT.
AND TO HAVE A GUIDELINE MAYBE, UH, I DON'T KNOW, ELE TO INSPECT IT OCCUPANCY TO SEE DALE.
THAT MAKES SURE THIS IS ON THE OCCUPY.
UH, PUT ALL THE STATE GUIDELINES.
LIKE THOSE, I LIKE THOSE IDEAS.
AND I WILL SECOND THAT, OH, CALL PLEASE.
BEFORE I TAKE ROLL, I NEED TO READ THE TITLE OF THE, OF THE URGENCY ORDINANCE INTO THE RECORD URGENCY ORDINANCE.
NUMBER 2, 4, 9, 3 IN URBAN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA ADOPTING CHANGES TO CHAPTER 20 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND CHAPTER 26 ZONING OF THE WEST COVINA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SENATE.
BILL NINE, FOR THE CREATION OF URBAN LOTS SPLITS AND CHU RESIDENTIAL UNITS PER LAP.
I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN WU AND A SECOND BY MAYOR CASTELLANO'S COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT DUBAI COUNCILMAN COUNCILWOMAN LOPEZ.
I MAYOR CUSTOMER ON US ORDINANCE PASSES FIVE ZERO.
[10) TRANSIT SERVICE EVALUATION UPDATE]
THANK YOU.ITEM, NUMBER 10, TRANSIT SERVICE EVALUATION UPDATE.
MR. CITY MANAGER, WHO WILL PRESENT OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, UM, PAULINA MIRALIS WILL PRESENT THIS REPORT.
UM, THIS IS AN UPDATE ON THE TRANSIT SERVICE EVALUATION THAT YOU, UH, APPROVED EARLIER THIS YEAR IN SPRING.
SO I WILL HAVE OUR CONSULTANT, UH, STEVE WILKES COME UP AND PROVIDE A PRESENTATION, UM, OF WHERE THEY'RE AT WITH THAT EVALUATION.
JUST WAITING ON THE POWERPOINT.
UM, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, UH, I'M STEVE WELTS WITH IBI GROUP AND PART OF A CONSULTING FIRM OR PART OF THE CONSULTING TEAM RATHER, UH, THAT WAS RETAINED BY THE CITY TO UNDERTAKE THIS EVALUATION OF THE TRANSIT SERVICES.
BUT I WANT TO DO IS SPEND A COUPLE OF MINUTES
[02:25:05]
AND I WANT TO SPEND A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF OUR WORK PROGRAM, THE APPROACH, AND SCHEDULE.UM, JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT I REFER TO AS THIS EVOLVING MOBILITY LANDSCAPE.
AND THAT JUST SPEAKS TO IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES AS WE LOOK AT ALTERNATE DELIVERY SCHEMES OPPORTUNITIES TO POSSIBLY LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY, TO ENHANCE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE A WHOLE MENU OF, OF SUCH OPPORTUNITIES, AND THEN RELATE TO, UM, DISCUSSION ITEMS THAT WE'VE CERTAINLY INCORPORATED IN THE SURVEY RESEARCH COMMUNITY SURVEY, UH, PIECE, AND WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN HEARING ANY COMMENTS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE, UH, AS THEY MIGHT RELATE TO, UH, GOALS, VALUES, HOW WE MIGHT POSITION TRANSIT AS THE ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR BOTH LOCAL AND REGIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
SO THE, AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN THE CONDUCT OF THE SERVICE EVALUATION IS THAT IT'S AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THE COVID 19 RECOVERY PHASE.
UH, THE DETAILED EVALUATION INCLUDES WITHOUT OF THE GO WEST SHUTTLE SERVICES, THE FIXED ROUTE FIXED SCHEDULED, AS WELL AS THE DIAL, A RIDE SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR OLDER ADULTS AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.
AND THE EVALUATION IS REALLY TARGETED TO PROVIDE BETTER TRANSIT SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY, UH, GROW THE RIDERSHIP BASE, BOTH IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF TRIPS, AS WELL AS NUMBER OF PEOPLE, UH, WHERE WE CAN CHANGE THE RELATIVE ATTRACTIVENESS OF TRANSIT AND ATTRACT MORE CHOICE RIDERS.
HOW DO WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LEAVE THEIR 2.3 CARS AT HOME AND LOOK AT A MOBILITY ALTERNATIVE, SIMILARLY, TO RESPOND TO CHANGING CUSTOMER OR CONSUMER DEMANDS AND EXPECTATIONS.
AND WE KNOW THAT THAT NOT TWO IS SOMEWHAT OF AN EVOLVING MARKET.
WE KNOW THAT MORE AND MORE OF THE MILLENNIALS ARE RUNNING AROUND WITH SMART DEVICES AND ARE DEMANDING, YOU KNOW, IMMEDIATE, UH, EA LINK TYPE CAPABILITIES WHERE A VEHICLE MAY ARRIVE 12 TO 15 MINUTES LATER, MOBILE PAYMENT, ALL OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, MANY OF US ARE FAMILIAR WITH WITH THE, THE UBER LYFT TYPE AND THEN CERTAINLY TO IDENTIFY FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS OR CHANGES, UH, IN THE EXISTING DELIVERY SCHEME, FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE AND CERTAINLY FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE SLIDE, PLEASE.
SO THE OVERARCHING APPROACH IS THAT OF THESE, THESE THREE CATCHALLS OF, OF, UH, INVESTIGATION IN TERMS OF REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND THE UNIQUE CONDITIONS OF, OF WEST COVINA AND THE OPERATION OF THE GO WEST SHUTTLE SERVICES.
AND THIS REALLY SPEAKS TO THE NUMBER SIDE OF THE EQUATION, LOOKING AT THAT DETAIL, THE VALUATION OF EXISTING SERVICE PERFORMANCE METRICS, NUMBER OF TRIPS COSTS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE TRIPS PER HOUR.
AND, UH, THEN THE INNOVATION AND THIS TRULY SPEAKS TO IDENTIFY AND ANALYZE SERVICE ENHANCEMENTS, ALTERNATE DELIVERY SCHEMES THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT TO COMPLIMENT SOME OF THE SUCCESSES OF THE EXISTING TRANSIT SERVICES AND ULTIMATELY TO DEVELOP SOLUTIONS, A FINAL RECOMMENDATION REPORT, IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND DEPLOYMENT PLAN THAT WILL ALSO INCLUDE A FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND CERTAINLY OPERATING AND CAPITAL COSTS.
SO IN TERMS OF SPECIFIC TASKS, UH, FIRST AND FOREMOST WAS THE COMMUNITY SURVEY AND ENGAGEMENT PIECE.
AND THAT SURVEY IS CURRENTLY ON THE STREET IN TERMS OF IT'S WEB BASED IS AVAILABLE THROUGH A DIRECT, THROUGH A LINK FROM THE, UH, CITY'S HOME PAGE.
THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF POSTCARDS ADVERTISING THE URL AND A QR CODE THAT HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED ON THE VEHICLES AT SELECT LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
JUST A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT THE CITY HAS DONE TO PROMOTE THE AVAILABILITY OF THE COMMUNITY SURVEY, UH, AND THAT WAS COMPLEMENTED BY PAPER COPIES OR HARD COPIES AVAILABLE, UH, OR THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE AT SELECT LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
JUST RECOGNIZING THAT NOT EVERYBODY HAS A SMART DEVICE OR ACCESS TO COMPUTERS.
THE NEXT KEY CAP KEY TASK IS OUT OF THE, UM, CURRENT CONDITIONS AND, AND THE ACTUAL OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS ALLUDING TO EARLIER IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS SIDE, THE PERFORMANCE OF EXISTING SERVICES, UH, AND FINALLY
[02:30:01]
NEXT TASK.THE NEXT SLIDE IS THE TRANSIT NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RESTRUCTURING CLIENTS.
SO THE TRANSIT NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS TO QUANTIFY THE UNMET MOBILITY NEEDS, LOOKING AT COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE, DEMOGRAPHIC NUMBERS, SOCIAL ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS, THOSE KEY ELEMENTS THAT MAY INFLUENCE ONE'S PROPENSITY TO USE TRANSIT OR AN ALTERNATE MOBILITY SERVICE.
SO BASED ON WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM THE COMMUNITY, WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE TELLING US IN TERMS OF THE ANALYSIS TO COME UP WITH CONCEPTUAL ALTERNATIVES AND ULTIMATELY A DRAFT AND FINAL REPORT, THE INTENT IS TO TAKE THE CONCEPTS AFTER WHAT WE HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY, THE ANALYSIS DEVELOP A MENU OF OPPORTUNITIES OR CONCEPTS TAKE THOUGHT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE THE COMMUNITY HELP US TRANSLATE THOSE CONCEPTS INTO A FINAL, UH, RECOMMENDED STRATEGY AND THEIR TARGETING TO TAKE SUCH CONCEPTS OUT TO THE COMMUNITY IN MID JANUARY AT A MONTH'S TIME, UH, FINALIZE THIS, AND CERTAINLY MAKE A FINAL PRESENTATION BACK TO COUNCIL ON A FEBRUARY DATE.
SO JUST WANT TO SPEND A MINUTE AND TALK ABOUT AGAIN, WHAT I REFERRED TO AS THIS EVOLVING MOBILITY LANDSCAPE, BECAUSE THIS IS A REALLY EXCITED, EXCUSE ME, EXCITING TIME TO BE IN THE TRANSIT OR MOBILITY BUSINESS.
UH, WE'VE SEEN JUST OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WHAT WE REFER TO AS THIS WHOLE NEXT GEN MOBILITY OPTIONS, MICRO TRANSIT E HAILING, A RIDE SHARE TYPE OPPORTUNITIES, UH, AS WELL AS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE MAKING ALL OF THESE ALTERNATE DELIVERY SEEMS QUITE POSSIBLE IN TERMS OF NOT JUST THE PLATFORMS FOR, FOR YHAT LINKED TRIP REQUESTS, GETTING REAL-TIME INFORMATION, TRIP DISCOVERY, ALL OF THOSE THINGS, BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, MOBILE PAYMENT, AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF OTHER FEATURES TO ENHANCE THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.
AND THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENT WHEN LOOKING AT ALTERNATE DELIVERY SCHEMES AND, AND HOW DO WE CHANGE THE RELATIVE ATTRACTIVENESS OF TRANSIT TO A BROADER MARKET OR BROADER CONSTITUENCY.
SO, YOU KNOW, BASED ON A GAME, UH, WHAT I MENTIONED IN TERMS OF WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE TELLING US, WHAT WE HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY, THE STATE OF THE INDUSTRY, IN TERMS OF THE EVOLVING MOBILITY LANDSCAPE, WE'LL BE DEVELOPING, UH, CONCEPTS AND A FINAL RECOMMENDATION, UH, REPORT THE FINAL SLIDE SPEEDS TO, YOU KNOW, WE NEED YOUR INPUT.
THESE ARE THE KIND OF ELEMENTS THAT WE'RE TAKING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND WOULD CERTAINLY BE INTERESTED IN ANY COMMENTS THAT, UM, COUNCIL HAS RELATING TO LOCAL ATTITUDES AND COMMUNITY VALUES, IDENTIFICATION OF UNMET MOBILITY NEEDS.
WE KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME VERY SIGNIFICANT ANCHORS IN THE CITY IN TERMS OF MAJOR TRIP ATTRACTORS IN GENERATORS.
UM, THE, THE, YOU KNOW, WOULD INFORM ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR MOBILITY AND TRANSIT, UH, SERVICES, UH, CERTAINLY INTERESTED IN ANY COMMENTS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON WHO ARE THE CRITICAL, CRITICAL MARKETS FOR TRANSIT OR MOBILITY IN THE CITY.
UH, AND THEN FINALLY, TO, UM, HEAR ANY COMMENTS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON TARGETED MOBILITY SOLUTIONS, THOUGHTS THAT, UM, YOU MIGHT WANT TO SHARE AND SEE GOING FORWARD AND IDENTIFYING, UH, FURTHER CONCEPTS.
THANK YOU THOUGHT THROUGH YOU, MR. MAYOR, IF THERE'S ANY.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
YOUR SLIDES TOUCHED ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING I WAS INTERESTED IN JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN SAYING.
I THINK THE INTERESTED GROUPS, MAYBE YOU MENTIONED A LOT OF THEM, YOUTH SENIORS, PERHAPS ONE, ONE ADDITION WE COULD MAKE IS REACH OUT TO MOUNT SAC, CAL POLY, LOCAL UNIVERSITIES, TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO PROVIDE US WITH, UH, STUDENTS WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF WEST COVINA TO, OR WE ENGAGE THEM.
UH, I THINK WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
WE'D NEED TO, UM, FOR BETTER UTILIZATION OF OUR TRANSPORTATION FUNDS, SIMILAR TO WHAT I MENTIONED EARLIER REGARDING MEASURE H FUNDS.
WE REALLY, UH, AND, AND ALSO THE TOPIC WE JUST TALKED ABOUT BEFORE THIS ARGUING PROBLEM, IF WE WERE SERIOUS ABOUT SOLVING THE PARKING PROBLEM, WE GOTTA BE SERIOUS ABOUT UTILIZING THESE DOLLARS PROPERLY.
UH, OTHERWISE WE'RE GOING TO KEEP SEEING GHOSTS BUSES AND THAT DOESN'T SERVE ANYBODY'S NEEDS.
I'D LIKE TO GET INPUT FROM MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, MICHAEL, YET, GO AHEAD.
UM, SO THIS SURVEY, IS IT A SIMPLE SURVEY BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TAKING SURVEYS, IS THERE AN INCENTIVE FOR TAKING THESE SURVEYS AND WHAT, UM, WHAT'S THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU'RE GETTING OR HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY GETTING BACK? SO, YES, IT'S A RELATIVELY SIMPLE
[02:35:01]
SURVEY IN TERMS OF A SERIES OF CHECKBOXES AND IT WAS DESIGNED TO SORT OF TELL A STORY.WE WANT TO KNOW, WELL, FIRST FOREMOST, IF THEY'RE A RESIDENT, IF THEY, THE CURRENT MODE OF TRANSPORT USED FOR A RANGE OF JUST PULLING UP THE SURVEY, THAT'S OKAY FOR A RANGE OF TRIP PURPOSES.
UM, IF YOU USE THE EXISTING SERVICES, WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT IT? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF, AND AGAIN, A RANGE OF, OF, YOU KNOW, ON-TIME PERFORMANCE, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, BUT IF NOT, WHY NOT? YOU KNOW, IN, IN TERMS OF, IF YOU DON'T USE TRANSIT, WHY NOT? AND, AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HEARING BACK, WELL, IT DOESN'T TAKE ME TO WHERE I WANT TO GO INFREQUENT SERVICE, THINGS OF THAT NATURE TAKES TOO LONG, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
AND THEN THE SURVEY ENDS WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, A BRIEF PROFILE OF THE RESPONDENT.
UM, IT'S AT THE OPTION OF THE RESPONDENT.
IF THEY WANT TO PROVIDE CONTACT INFORMATION AND WE WILL BE HAVING A DRAWING FOR A GIFT CERTIFICATE IN TERMS OF YES, THERE'S THAT INCENTIVE, THAT'S SURPRISING, BUT TAKE A SURVEY AND GET A FREE RIDE.
I MEAN, THAT'S AT LEAST A DIRECT INCENTIVE, BUT HOW MANY ACTUALLY PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THE SURVEY.
SO THAT REMAINS WORK IN PROGRESS BECAUSE THE NUMBERS ARE RELATIVELY SMALL.
I MEAN, I'M LOOKING AT IT, ALL THE QUESTIONS SHE WAS SCROLLING DOWN.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND TRUTHFULLY, MOST PEOPLE'S ATTENTION SPAN IS VERY SHORT AND THEY'LL JUST SAY, FORGET, IT'S NOT EVEN WORTH IT, LIKE GIFT CARD, HOW MUCH, HOW MANY IS BEING GIVEN OUT? LIKE MOST STUDENTS, THE KEY MARKET THAT, YOU KNOW, UTIL USUALLY TAKES THIS, IF THERE'S AN INCENTIVE, THEY'LL TAKE, OTHERWISE THEY WON'T.
SO BASICALLY YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE NOT GETTING THAT MUCH.
I MEAN, YOU STARTED NOVEMBER 17 SURVEY WENT LIVE, RIGHT? YES.
BUT THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE POSTCARDS, AND AGAIN, WE JUST WENT THROUGH A SECOND PRINTING OF THESE POSTCARDS THAT ADVERTISE THE URL AND QR CODE, UH, JUST RECENTLY WENT ON THE VEHICLES IN TERMS OF BEING HANDED, BEING HANDED OUT TO CUSTOMERS, PASSENGERS AS WELL AS NOW BEING MADE AVAILABLE AT SELECT LOCATIONS, BEING HANDED OUT AT THE TRANSIT CENTERS, FOR EXAMPLE.
AND THAT'S JUST HAPPENING NOW.
WELL, THE SURVEY WILL END BY DECEMBER 15, SO YOU'D BE LUCKY TO GET OUT EVEN 20 POSSIBLY.
I MEAN, IF YOU JUST WENT OUT NOW AND IT'S WELL WITHIN THE PAST WEEK, BUT YES, WE THINK THAT WE'LL BE INCREASING THE NUMBERS OVER THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.
I KNOW YOU SAID YOU'RE CONDUCTING, IN-PERSON SERVING AND HOW ARE YOU CONDUCTING THAT IN PERSON SURVEY? SO THERE'S BEEN SOME INTERCEPT SURVEYS AS IN STAFF THAT HAVE, HAVE ATTENDED AT, UM, THE TRANSIT CENTERS TO TALK TO PEOPLE.
AND THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER ROUND OF CONSULTATION THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN MID JANUARY AMONGST TIME, UH, WHEN WE'LL HAVE CONCEPTS THAT WE CAN TAKE OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO SOLICIT INPUT, TO SOLICIT COMMENTS ON WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THESE WILL THESE WORK FOR YOU? ARE WE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, HELP US TRANSLATE THESE CONCEPTS INTO A RECOMMENDED APPROACH.
SO THEY'RE NOT TALKING TO THE PERSON DIRECTLY WHILE THEY'RE INSIDE THE BUS WAITING.
THERE'S NO, THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY ONBOARD SERVICE.
MY CONCERN IS A SURVEY OF WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE GETTING.
UM, AND I MEAN, I SAW THE SAMPLE QUESTIONS, BUT I, SHE SCROLLED THROUGH A LOT.
THAT WAS, THAT'S A WHOLE NEW, DIFFERENT ISSUE.
UM, AND THEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE DENSITY OF OUR CITY.
UM, LOOKING AT THE DENSITY OF WERE MOST POPULAR PLACES TO GO AND EVERYTHING, AND THE WHOLE LINES OF WHERE IT GOES.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ALSO TAKING CARE OF THAT AS WELL.
SO WHEN YOU TALK DENSITY, I MEAN, WE'RE LOOKING AT PEOPLE IN TERMS OF DEMOGRAPHICS, SOCIOECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS, AS WELL AS EMPLOYMENT.
UH, BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO THE TRIP DENSITY IN TERMS OF TRAVEL PATTERNS AND THAT'S EVERYTHING FROM EXISTING TRANSIT SERVICES TO GO WEST SERVICES, AS WELL AS HAVING PROFILED ALL OF THE LOCAL AND REGIONAL ROUTES OF FOOTHILL, UH, AND THEN TRAFFIC PATTERNS IN TERMS OF AUTO MOVEMENT, CAR MOVEMENT.
UM, YEAH, MY CONCERN IS THE WHOLE SURVEY THING AND, AND THAT'S A GOOD CONCERN.
I THINK MAYBE WE COULD DO A PUSH FOR, UH, UM, SOME ADDITIONAL MEASURES SUCH AS, UH, REACHING OUT TO ALL OUR, OF OUR BUSINESSES THROUGH OUR CITY STAFF TO ASK THEM IF THEY HAVE EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS OR, OR JUST TO MAKE THEM AWARE ANOTHER, UH, COMMENT.
MAYBE WE COULD REACH OUT TO EDD AND ASK THEM FOR A LIST OF UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE IN WEST COVINA, LOOKING FOR WORK TO SEE IF ANY OF THEM
[02:40:01]
HAVE TRENT UNMET TRANSPORTATION NEEDS AND TO ENGAGE THEM HERE.AND HAS OUR CITY, CAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING THIS SURVEY BEING BLASTED OUT AS THIS BIN.
WE'LL SIT WITHIN CITY THROUGH THE MAYOR.
IT HAS BEEN POSTED ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA.
WE WILL DO ANOTHER, A COUPLE POSTS TO CONTINUE TO PROMOTE IT.
UM, WE ARE LOOKING AT HAVING, UM, FOR A MINIMUM POSTCARDS AT THE UPCOMING COMMUNITY EVENTS THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
UM, IF NOT IN PERSON SERVING, UM, THERE ISN'T IN PERSON SERVING ON THE SHUTTLES, BUT THERE IS THE POSTCARD WITH THE QR CODE, UM, FOR THE SURVEY ON THE, UM, SHUTTLES AND IT, UM, ALL, UH, CITY FACILITIES AS WELL AS THE COUNTERS IN A CITY HALL, IT'S INSIDE THE SHUTTLE.
SO WHEN THEY'RE SITTING AND THEY'RE BORED, THEY COULD JUST QR CODE OR C YES.
COULD WE REQUEST THAT THE DRIVERS EMPHASIZE AND POINT THAT OUT? THANK YOU.
SO WE DON'T HAVE A COUNT ON HOW MANY SURVEYS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED.
WELL, TO DATE, I BELIEVE WE'RE UP TO ABOUT 24 AND TWO OF WHICH WERE IN THE SPANISH LANGUAGE.
SO TO THAT POINT, I THINK WE'RE ALL GOING TO NEED TO GET INVOLVED IN PUSHING IT THROUGH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA AND REALLY SPREADING THE WORD COUNCILMAN WU.
THERE'S ONLY A WEEK A WEEK LEFT.
UH, MY, MY POINT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE SURVEY.
I KIND OF UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE BECAUSE I WAS IN THE GOV COVID INVOLVE A FOOTHILL TRANSIT FOUR WHOLE YEARS.
I, I THINK THE RIDERSHIP OVER THERE IS ONLY LIKE LESS THAN 20%.
UH, MOST OF THE SUBSIDIZE OF OUR GUESTS TAX THESE ON THAT AND THE WORLD IS ON THAT.
AND TO THE ISSUE OF, UH, THE, THE WHY THE WIDER SHIPS IS NOT HIGH EVEN BEFORE THE PANDEMIC I WAS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, AS A COBBLE INVOLVED, BUT FOR HIS TRANSITS, IT'S A COUPLE OF ISSUE I DISCUSSED WITH THE CEO.
DOING THE MEETING, THERE'S THREE THINGS.
HOW SAVE, YOU'RE WILLING TO TAKE THIS BUS OR GO WEST OR ANYTHING.
HOW SAVES TO THAT, ESPECIALLY NOW A PANDEMIC, CAN WE CHANGE INTO KIND OF TROLLEY AND OPEN? SO PEOPLE WOULDN'T FEEL MOST SAFE BESIDES THE PHYSICAL HARM.
WE TOOK HIM BALD VIRUS BASED ON THAT.
SO THAT TIME IT WOULD BE FOOT PANDEMIC.
WE TOLD YOU ABOUT THE PHYSICAL HARM.
PEOPLE GET STABBED IS ON THAT.
TO BE, TO SIT IN THE MASS TRANSPORTATION? SECOND THING IS OKAY.
WOULD YOU PLEASE WAIT, DONE POLICE.
HOW CONVENIENT FOR THEM CAN TAKE THE BUS.
I'LL TAKE THE TRANSPLANTATION FROM HERE TO THERE.
SO HOW WE DESIGNED THE ROUTE WOULD BE FROM THE HOSPITAL.
AND, UH, I WAS ALWAYS COVINA OR I'LL GO TO THE SOUTH SIDE.
BECAUSE THE 17 SQUARE MILE OR ON THE NO SIDE OF A GOAL LINE.
SO WE CAN HAVE THEM TO GET OFF THE BUS CAN GET OVER TO TRANQ AND HOP ON THE BUS AND GO TO A ZAZA K.
COME TO BACK TO THE CTA, BACK TO THEIR HOME.
SO SOMETHING WOULD BE CONVENIENT AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN PUSH THIS.
AND, UH, UH, THAT TRAFFIC, SO PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO MUCH EASIER TAKE THE BUS AND WE'LL BE GREEN LIGHT GO TO THE DESTINATION OF THE SUNLIGHT.
SO THE SECOND THING, AND NUMBER THREE IS A BRENDAN.
BRANDING, ABOUT WHAT ABOUT I'M TAKING A BUS? NOT BECAUSE I'M POOR OR I HAVE A NO DRIVER'S LICENSE.
I TAKE A BUS BECAUSE IT'S A HIP.
SO THAT'S WHY I CHANGE AS TEND TO CHANGE A SLOGAN.
WE MOVE PEOPLE TO SHOP AND PLAY AND MOVE PEOPLE TO SHOP AND PLAY.
SO WE ARE MOVING THE PEOPLE TO SHOP AND PLAY WITH NUMBER OF PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO MONEY OR YOU HAVE NO CAR.
SO THE COUNTS THAT HAVE TO BE CHANGED, THAT'S THE PRINTING ABOUT? SO THERE'S ONLY WAY WE CAN CHECK PEOPLE OKAY.
AND THIS SERVERS, OTHERWISE WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE EMPTY BUS, ALL THE PLACES BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T FEEL SAFE TO TAKE A THING.
I DON'T THINK IT HOW STABLE YOU FEEL.
YOU WOULDN'T TAKE THE BUS LOT.
IF YOU ARE WAITING ON THE BUS STOP, I THINK SOMETHING WRONG ABOUT YOU AND YOU MIGHT BE LOSING YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE.
SO, SO THE CONCEPT WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT WE WANT TO SEE, HOW CAN WE DO AS A, DO THE BRANDING AND DO SOME KIND OF CHANGING TO MAYBE THE GOAL AS THEN CONFINED TO THE BOX.
WE OPEN IT UP LIKE A TROLLEY, BECOME MUCH MORE HIP AND SAVE OUR PEOPLE FEEL, OH, I WANT TO HOP IN THAT.
THE KIDS SAY, HEY, AND THERE'S SOME DESIGN.
SO THE FAMILY WANTS TO SAY, LET'S GO TO OVER THERE AND LET'S GO TO WESCO PLAZA TAKING THIS TROLLEY.
SO, SO THIS IS A COUPLE OF THINGS, MY SUBJECTION.
WELL THEN JUST PUSH YOU TO SURVEY, BE SOVIET STEEL, NO MATTER HOW YOU DO, YOU STILL HAVE FEW PEOPLE, BUT MYSELF, I ALREADY KNOW WHY I DON'T TAKE THE BUS.
AND I DON'T FEEL THE BRANDING.
SO, SO WE TRY TO TRY TO SAY HOW WE PROMOTE THIS INTO THE MUSEUM, INTO THE SUPERMARKET
[02:45:01]
IS SOMETHING BESIDES WE ARE JUST OKAY.AND THE TWO PEOPLE TO UTILIZE.
EVEN GO TO THE SCHOOL FOR THE STUDENT.
SO TO, TO HAVE THIS SERVICE NOT BEING WASTED, UH, CURRENTLY IS REALLY WASTED.
WE SEE EMPTY BUS, ALL THE PLACES, IT JUST CREATE MORE POLLUTION BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO ANY FUNCTIONS.
SO HOW CAN WE KIND OF WORK TOGETHER AND MAKE SURE ALL THESE TREMORS, TRANSPORTATION PLAN, INCLUDING YOUR OKAY TO SURVEY OR THIS KIND OF PROJECTION CAN UTILIZE AND WE CAN PROMOTE IT.
SO ANYWAY, THIS IS LITERALLY VERY COMMON COUNSELINGS ABOUT TO DUBAI.
UH, YOU KNOW, I, I WANT TO AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN WU THERE.
UH, YOU KNOW, MY MOM DOES, DOES USE IT QUITE OFTEN TO, TO GO PICK UP MY SON FROM, UH, FROM SCHOOL.
UH, BUT I DO THINK, UM, THE PUSH TO, UM, YOUNGER PEOPLE AND, AND REALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS HOW THE YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE MOVING.
AND I, I THINK THE, THE W THE WAY WE HAVE IT IN OUR CITY IS, IS A REALLY OLD MODEL.
UH, AND I, I THINK SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT, UH, COUNCILMAN WE WAS, WAS TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, JUST, JUST EVEN THE LOOK I KNOW IN SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU HAD LOOKS OF THESE PEOPLE MOVERS, RIGHT.
THEY, THEY DID NOT LOOK LIKE BUSES, RIGHT? THEY, THEY, THEY LOOKED LIKE THE, THE, THE FUTURE, LIKE, YOU'D WANT, YOU'D WANT TO GO ON THERE AND YOU YOU'D WANT TO GO TO THE MALL.
YOU'D WANT, YOU WANT TO GO TO THE THEATER.
YOU WANT TO GO TO, YOU KNOW, EASTLAND, YOU WANT TO GO TO THE PARKS.
YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH ARE WE GOING TO, TO THE PARKS? YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OUR, OUR SKATE PARK AND WE HAVE CAMERON PARK AND, YOU KNOW, UM, SO I THINK THAT'S, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK A LOT OF TIMES WE'RE SERVING, UM, YOU KNOW, AN OLDER POPULATION, RIGHT.
CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN TARGETING WITH, WITH OUR, OUR DIAL A RIDE AND, UM, OUR FOOTHILL TRANSIT.
UM, BUT MY, MY NIECE IS 23 YEARS OLD.
SHE'S, DOESN'T HAVE A LICENSE.
MY, MY NEPHEWS ARE IN THE YOUNG TWENTIES.
THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSES.
UH, AND SO, YOU KNOW, THAT THOSE ARE OUR FOLKS THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO GO TO OUR MALLS, WANT TO GO TO OUR RESTAURANTS, WANT TO GET AROUND TOWN.
AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT WANT TO USE TRANSIT.
AND OUR YOUTH, YOU KNOW, ARE USED TO USING PUBLIC TRANSIT.
UH, AND SO HOPEFULLY I KNOW WE ONLY HAVE TO DECEMBER 15TH.
UM, WE CAN FIND A WAY TO, TO SURVEY MORE OF THOSE FOLKS, UH, AND, AND FIND OUT HOW THEY WANT TO BE TRAVELING AROUND WEST COVINA.
AND IF WE HAVE TO EXTEND THE SURVEY, PERHAPS WE SHOULD, BUT ANOTHER POINT I'LL MAKE PAST SUNDAY, WE HAD AN EVENT AT OUR SPORTS PLEX, A VERY WELL ATTENDED.
UM, BUT WHILE WE'RE WORKING ON EXPANDING OUR PARKING, I'D RATHER SEE OUR CURRENT WASTED TRANSPORTATION BE UTILIZED TO PEOPLE THERE AND BACK.
SO, UH, WITH ALL THE COMMENTS WE'VE, WE'VE GIVEN YOU, UH, PLEASE CONTINUE CHIN, HEART, AND COLLABORATE WITH US.
AND IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, MAYBE BY THEN, AS WE, CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE OF WHAT THE SURVEY LOOKS LIKE ALSO TO REMIND US, TO GIVE OUR OWN PUSH, TO ENGAGE OUR STAKEHOLDERS? UH, ANY ANYONE ELSE? YEAH.
UM, I KNOW WITH THE SURVEYS, IT'S JUST, IT'S THE HOLIDAYS, USUALLY EVERYBODY'S JUST UNTIL THE OUT, JUST PHASED OUT AT THE MOMENT, BUT, UM, IF THEY ARE, IS A GOOD PUSH TO PUSH, LIKE THEY MENTIONED AT THE SCHOOL, THE YOUNGER GENERATION, AND I, AGAIN, THE INCENTIVE, BECAUSE TO DO ALL THAT IS JUST, THAT'S, THAT'S A BURDEN OF ITS OWN.
UM, BUT PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT COUNCILMAN RUE SAID.
IT'S, I DON'T REALLY SEE EVEN JUST, UH, THE REVAMPING MODEL OF THIS WHOLE THING.
I KNOW WE HAVE THE BUS SITUATION.
UM, IF YOU, OR MOST PEOPLE, WHEN THEY THINK OF BUS, THEY JUST THINK OF BUS STANDARD.
SO HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE, THE, UH, TYPICAL TRANSIT BUSES THAT OCCUR THE FOOTHILL TRANSITS? UM, AND IN REGARDS TO SAFETY, WE JUST HAD A SAFETY INCIDENT NEAR THE MALL AT THE WEST COVINA PARKWAY AT THE BUS STOP.
THERE WAS A STABBING THAT TOOK PLACE AND FOR SOME WENT INTO YOGURT LAND.
UM, AND SO THAT IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN.
SO WITH THAT MODEL IN MIND, IT'S HOW ARE WE EVEN DIFFERENT THAN THAT? BUT WITH TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION, EVERYTHING THAT WAS JUST MENTIONED AND SAID, REVAMPING THE REBRANDING, THE WHOLE, UM, APP BASED AND EVERYTHING I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT, UM, PUT IN.
UM, AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.
THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN OPUS, V AUTO, ANY, ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? UM, OKAY, WELL, WE'LL, WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO THAT UPDATE AND IF WE DO NEED TO INCENTIVIZE, MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK AT, UM, BUT YOU AND I COULD DISCUSS THAT
[02:50:01]
LATER AND WE'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT, BUT LET'S SEE.UM, ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? NO, I WANTED TO THANK YOU, UH, MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL FOR REALLY GOOD COMMENTS AS WELL.
AND YES, I'LL BE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WORKING WITH STAFF AND REVISIT THE SURVEY IN TERMS OF BOTH DISTRIBUTION AND TIMEFRAME.
WE DO NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE, SO WE SEE THEM FINE.
[11) CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDINGWITH CITIES OF AZUSA, COVINA, DUARTE, AND GLENDORA AND AGREEMENTWITH UNION STATION HOMELESS SERVICES FOR FIVE-CITIES HOMELESSNESSPLANS IMPLEMENTATION GRANT PROJECT]
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11 AND MR. CITY MANAGER, WHO WILL PRESENT THE UPDATE.THIS IS ALSO I'M ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, MORALES, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
UH, OH, LET ME GET THE R POINT.
SO THE ITEM BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS A, UM, AMENDMENTS TO TWO AGREEMENTS AND A BUDGET AMENDMENT REGARDING THE, UM, GRANT FUNDS FOR OUR IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR HOMELESS, UH, OR HOMELESSNESS PLAN, UM, THAT WE ARE WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH, UM, THE CITY OF COVINA DUARTE, GLENDORA AZUSA IN WEST COVINA.
UM, AMONGST THE FIVE CITIES, WE RECEIVED A GRANT OF $343,250, UM, WITH 291 IN MATCHING FUNDS, UM, WHICH COMES OUT TO 33,000 PER CITY, UM, AND IN KIND MATCH OF SPACE PARKING AND UTILITIES.
UM, THE CITY OF WEST COVINA WAS THE LEAD AGENCY.
UM, WE EXECUTED A CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY, A CONTRACT WITH UNION STATION WAS, WHICH WAS THE SELECTED SERVICE PROVIDER.
UM, AND WE ALSO, UM, MANAGE THE PAYMENTS AND REIMBURSEMENT REPORTING FOR THE GRANT.
UM, AS I MENTIONED, UNION STATION WAS, UH, THE, UH, SELECTED PROVIDER FOR THE SERVICES HOMELESS SERVICES AMONGST THE FIVE CITIES.
UM, AND WE EXECUTED THAT CONTRACT DECEMBER OF 2019.
UM, THE INITIAL CONTRACT WAS UNTIL FEBRUARY, 2021 DUE TO THE, UH, LATE PROJECT STARTS AND THE COVID PANDEMIC, THE COUNTY EXTENDED THE GRANT TERM THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST, 2021, THE END OF THIS MONTH.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY THE STEVE WAS COVINA LOST HER NAVIGATOR, NOVEMBER 19TH.
UM, WE WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE SERVICES UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR.
UH, AND IT'LL BE 72 HOUR RESPONSE TIME.
THIS WILL BE AT NO COST TO THE CITY.
SO THE ITEMS, IF FOR YOU, WHAT ARE REACTIVE BASIS? UM, I BELIEVE IT'S, IF WE GET A CALL THAT, UM, WE NEED TO RESPOND TO A HOMELESS PERSON.
UM, SO THE ITEMS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT ARE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT WITH UNION STATION, THE AGREEMENT WITH THE FIVE CITIES TO ADMINISTER THE CASH MATCHING FUNDS AND THE BUDGET AMENDMENT.
UM, AND THE PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COHORT MOU IS TO FACILITATE THE USE OF THE CASH MATCH FOR THE CONTRACT, WHICH WAS ADVISED BY THE COUNTY.
THE AMENDMENT WILL ALLOW THE CITY OF WEST COVINA TO MAKE PAYMENTS TO UNION STATION ON BEHALF OF AZUSA COVINA.
AND LINDORA IN EXCESS OF I'M SORRY, I BELIEVE IT'S COVINA AND DOHERTY IN EXCESS OF THE GRANT MONIES, UM, BUT NOT TO EXCEED THE 33,000 CASH CASH MATCH AMOUNT.
THE AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH UNION STATION IS TO INCREASE THE COMPENSATION BY THE ALREADY APPROVED CASH MATCH FROM EACH CITY, WHICH IS THE 33,000.
BUT THE PURPOSE OF THE BUDGET AMENDMENT IS TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS, SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE CASH MATCH COMMITMENTS OF AZUSA, COVINA, AND DOHERTY, WHICH WILL RE BE REIMBURSED AS WELL AS REAPPROPRIATE THE, UH, UH, MATCH THAT WEST COVINA, UM, UH, UH, HAD ALREADY, UH, UH, APPROVED.
UM, THESE FUNDS FOR WEST COVINA WERE APPROPRIATED LAST YEAR, BUT NOT EXPENDED AND NOT CARRIED FORWARD TO THIS, UH, BUDGET A YEAR, AS MENTIONED EARLIER, OUR, UM, NAVIGATOR, UH, SERVICES TERMINATED NOVEMBER 19TH, UM, AS SUCH, WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE EXTENT EXPANDING THE, UH, COMPLETE 33,000, UM, AND ANY UNUSED FUNDS WILL BE RETURNED TO THE FUND BALANCE.
UM, THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE OWED, UM, FOR THE CONTRACT OR THE CONTRACT IS, UH, CLOSE TO 80,000
[02:55:01]
WITH 10,000 LEFT FROM THE GRANT MONIES.UM, THE REMAINING BALANCE OF APPROXIMATELY SEVEN 70,000 IS OWED AMONGST THE FIVE CITIES, EACH AVERAGING, APPROXIMATELY 13,000 EACH, UM, WAS KEVIN.
UM, AND THIS IS FOR THE SERVICES UNION STATION HAS PROVIDED FROM INCEPTION OF THE GRANT.
AND UP UNTIL OCTOBER 22ND, 2021, UM, WE ARE WAITING FOR RECEIPT OF THE NOVEMBER, 2021 INVOICES PLUS INVOICES FOR THE OTHER CITIES THAT, UM, WE, THE CITY OF WEST COVINA AS LEAD AGENCY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, UH, PROCESSING THE PAYMENTS.
UM, WE REACHED OUT TO THE COUNTY AND WE DO, UH, TO ASK IF WE DID NOT FULLY EXPEND THE CASH MATCH COMMITMENT, WOULD IT BE AN ISSUE, UM, SUCH AS REPAYMENT DURING GRANT CLOSEOUT? UH, OUR REPRESENTATIVE LAST WEEK, UH, AT THE COUNTY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYDAY BEING AN ISSUE.
UM, THE, A TABLE HERE IS A SUMMARY THAT SHOWS THE AGGREGATED PROJECT PERFORMANCE FOR THE FIVE CITIES FROM INCEPTION THROUGH OCTOBER, 2021.
THE MEASURES AND TARGETS WERE INCLUDED AS A SCOPE OF WORK IN THE AGREEMENT WITH UNION STATION, AS WELL AS THE AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY.
UM, WEST COVINA WAS THE FIRST TO GET A NAVIGATOR ONBOARDED IN MID FEBRUARY, 2020, UH, CITIES ARE, SO THIS IS FOR ALL FIVE CITIES.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, THE TARGET IN SOME AREAS, THE EXCEEDED, UM, THEY INITIATED CONTACT HOW THE TARGET WAS 275.
UM, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY REFERRED LINK SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS.
THEY TARGETED 50% OF THOSE INITIATED CONTACT CONTACTED.
AND, UM, THEY CAME OUT AT 63%, UM, AND THEN LINKED, UH, INDIVIDUALS TO PERMANENT HOUSING.
UM, SO THESE, I SAID, AS MENTIONED WERE THE FIGURES ARE ALL FIVE CITIES, UH, REPRESENTATIVES FROM UNION STATION OR AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE REPORT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCILMAN.
SO TODAY FOR THIS REPORT, IT SAYS, OKAY, TABLE, UP ON LAST TIME BY WE, I WAS TALKING, WE HAVE A TELE TRIED TO YEAH.
THOSE DAYS, AM I RIGHT? THIS IS A TABLE.
SO, SO, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING IS ALREADY LIKE, THIS IS HISTORY, SO WE NEED TO AMEND IT.
THAT'S WHAT TODAY IS, RIGHT? THIS IS NOT REGARDING, WE GOT IN CONTRACT WHEN WE, THE CONTRACT EXPIRE DECEMBER, DECEMBER 31ST OF THIS YEAR, THIS MONTH.
SO THIS MONTH, SO THIS IS JUST A MEASUREMENT ABOUT THE INCREASE OF A HUNDRED.
SO THESE, ALL THE DOLLARS, AND THEN, SO THESE RESULTS IN ALL THIS.
THIS IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT TO PAY INVOICES FOR SERVICES ALREADY INCURRED TONIGHT.
CONTRACT IT'S ABOUT A CONTRACT THAT HAS BEEN PERFORMED.
WE HAVE TO TALK TO THEM WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN PERFORMED BY STALE PERFORMANCE.
HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY HELP BASED ON YOUR NUMBERS, OR WE CAN TALK TO THAT.
SO THIS EVENING WE'RE NOT EXTENDING THE CONTRACT.
WE'RE ONLY DOING AMENDMENT SO THAT WE CAN PAY THE REMAINING, UH, INVOICES FOR SERVICES ALREADY RENDERED AND THE BUDGET AMENDMENT TO, UM, ALLOCATE THOSE FUNDS THAT WERE ALREADY APPROVED, BUT NOT, UM, AND THIS FUND, WE ARE TRYING TO ADJUST, OKAY, A MAN FALLING IS COMING FROM A CDBG, OR THIS IS COMING FROM GENERAL FUND, OR JUST COME FIND THE GRANT FUNDED BY THE COMPANY.
UM, I HAVE TO CONFIRM WITH KELLY, BUT I THINK THE 33,000 IS GENERAL FUND BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AMENDED HUNDREDS OF THESE I'M SOLID IN DOLLARS.
WHAT FORTY EIGHT, A HUNDRED THIRTY, $2,000 ON THE YARD.
D X THEY'LL REQUEST ABOUT BILLING, YOU HAVE TO PAY, BUT WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN PERFORMED, WHY WE NEED TO DO THIS ADJUSTMENT.
ARE WE PAYING FOR WHAT KIND OF SERVERS? AND THEN IF WE APPROVE, THEY WOULD CAN PAY.
SO THE, I BELIEVE THE 1 33 IS THE, UM, PR PORTION THAT EACH CITY SUPPOSED TO MATCH.
UM, 33 OF IT, WHICH IS WEST COVINA IS PORTION 33,000.
[03:00:01]
THE STUDIES RESULT IN DOLLARS TO NY.IT WAS THERE ANY, IT WAS ALREADY APPROVED.
IT'S JUST A BUDGET AMENDMENT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT CARRIED OVER FROM LAST FISCAL YEAR.
SO THESE RESULTS IN DOLLARS, CORRECT.
AND A TOTAL LEAD APPROPRIATION IS A HUNDRED THIRTY, TWO, FOUR FIVE CT.
SO, SO, SO, SO, SO WE WANT TO SEE THE PERFORMANCE AND THAT WE WOULD DISCUSS THE FUTURE, THE PARTNERSHIP OR THE SERVICE OR THE UNION STATION.
AND THAT'S WHY WE INVITE THE STAFF TO KIND OF GIVE US A BRIEF, BECAUSE THIS IS, I THINK THE FIRST TIME WE MEET THAT WE, HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET OUT FULL UNDERSTANDING, SEE YOU, ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE THIS SERVICE? WHAT BENEFIT OKAY.
AND WHAT WE CAN HELP THE HOMELESS POPULATION TO HAVE A TEMPORARY HOUSING OR EVEN PERMANENT HOUSING.
I THINK THIS IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, RIGHT.
THE INVOICES ARE FOR ALL FIVE CITIES THAT YES.
MAYBE HE MIGHT TEND TO SOME PRESENTATION.
THE INITIATIVE CONTACTS THAT I KNOW THAT TARGET WAS 2 75 AND THE ACTUAL WAS 3 82.
HOW MANY ARE THOSE REPEAT CONTACTS OR IS IT THAT ARE ALL FIRST TIME? THAT'S CORRECT.
UM, GOOD EVENING, UM, COUNSEL FOR NOW.
THANK YOU, ELLIE FOR INVITING US HERE AND FOR ALLOWING US TO SHARE, AND IF WE CAN LOWER YOUR MIC SO WE CAN HEAR YOU PLEASE.
UM, THAT WE'VE BEEN, UM, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING IN COLLABORATION WITH YOUR CITY, UM, AND A LOT OF YOUR STAFF.
UH, MY NAME IS RAJI SHOW SCHENKER.
I'M ONE OF THE CHIEF PROGRAM OFFICERS WITH UNION STATION HOMELESS SERVICES.
UM, AND I JUST WANT TO INTRODUCE, I HAVE, UM, WHICH COVINA, SO NOW YOU WHO'S STATIONED IN WHICH COVINO, WHO IS THE POSEN.
SO I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE, UM, MY COLLEAGUES AND ANNETTE LINGAM, UH, SHE'S THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF OUTREACH AND ACCESS.
UM, SHE WAS THE, UH, PROGRAM MANAGER OVERSEEING THE FIVE CITIES.
SO SUPERVISING THE FIVE HOUSING NAVIGATORS IN EACH OF THE FIVE CITIES, AND THEN ALSO, UM, JESSICA SALAZAR IS OUR ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF DATA AND EVALUATION.
SO SHE CAN ALSO ANSWER REALLY ANY TECHNICAL DATA QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE TONIGHT.
UM, SO I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM, UM, FROM INCEPTION, I BELIEVE OUR CONTRACT BEGAN, UH, TECHNICALLY NOVEMBER, UM, DECEMBER OF 2020, AND WE, UH, STARTED HIRING, UM, OUR FIRST STAFF IN FEBRUARY OF I'M SORRY, NOT 20, 20, 20 19.
WE WERE ABLE TO HIRE OUR FIRST STAFF BY FEBRUARY, 2020.
UM, AND PART OF THE FIVE CITIES PROGRAM, UM, CONSISTED OF FIVE HOUSING NAVIGATORS WITH ONE ORIGINALLY ONE HOUSING NAVIGATOR WAS ALSO THE DEDICATED SUPERVISOR, WHICH WAS, UM, AND A NUT'S POSITION MIDWAY THROUGH THE CONTRACT.
UH, WE, UM, LEVERAGED UNION STATION FUNDS TO CREATE A SEPARATE SUPERVISOR POSITION SO THAT EACH CITY COULD HAVE A DEDICATED HOUSING NAVIGATOR.
UM, AND THAT WORKED OUT, I THINK THAT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL.
SO THAT WAS ONE HOUSING NAVIGATOR STATION IN EACH CITY IN THE CITY OF WEST COVINA.
UM, THE HOUSING HOUSING NAVIGATOR WHO JUST TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER POSITION, UH, WAS CHRISTIAN GONZALEZ.
AND HE WAS STATIONED AT, UM, ACTUALLY IN THIS BUILDING.
UM, SO IN THIS PROGRAM, THE SERVICES FUNDED WERE OUTREACH AND HOUSING NAVIGATION.
UH, WE USE A PROGRESSIVE MODEL OF ENGAGEMENT TO DO STREET-BASED OUTREACH.
SO THIS MEANS WE RESPOND TO OUTREACH REQUESTS ARE, UM, THAT ARE SUBMITTED FOLKS FROM THE COMMUNITY, UM, FROM HOSPITALS, FROM, UM, OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS, WE DO ROUTINE OUTREACH.
SO WE LEARN THE HOTSPOTS, UM, YOU KNOW, IN THE CITY THAT WE'RE WORKING IN AND OUR TEAMS GO OUT AND DO ROUTINE CHECK-INS.
THEY BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH FOLKS WHO ARE UNHOUSED, UM, AND WITH HOPES TO ENGAGE THEM, BUILD A RELATIONSHIP, UM, AND HOPEFULLY ESTABLISH A HOUSING PLAN SO THAT WE CAN HELP THEM GET INTO A MORE PERMANENT HOUSING.
AND THEN ALSO LINKED AND CONNECTED TO OTHER RESOURCES AND SERVICES SUCH AS MENTAL HEALTH, UM, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, TREATMENT, UH, MEDICAL, UM, MEDICAL SERVICES.
ONE OF THE COMPONENTS THAT WE PROVIDE ON THE STREET IS A STREET MEDICINE TEAM.
THAT'S NOT FUNDED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, BUT THROUGH ONE OF OUR OTHER PROGRAMS, WHICH WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO USE TO SUPPORT THE FIVE CITIES PROGRAM AS WELL.
SO THAT'S ACTUALLY DELIVERING PRIMARY CARE, UM, TO FOLKS WHO ARE UNHOUSED LIVING ON THE STREET, UM,
[03:05:01]
WHAT WAS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THIS PROGRAM WAS, UM, FUNDING FOR VOUCHERS LIKE RAPID REHOUSING OR, UM, WHAT'S COVINA FUNDED MOTEL VOUCHERS SEPARATELY, WHICH WAS A, UM, I THINK, AND CAN SPEAK TO HOW SUCCESSFUL THAT'S BEEN AND BEEN A REALLY HUGE HELP TO THE FOLKS IN YOUR CITY.UM, AND WE DIDN'T INITIALLY ON THE, ON THE ONSET OF THIS PROGRAM, WE DID NOT HAVE, UH, A DEDICATED DATA QUALITY SPECIALISTS, UM, FUNDED UNDER THIS PROGRAM.
AND SO MIDWAY THROUGH THE CONTRACT TERM, WE ALSO HIRED THAT POSITION, UM, THROUGH UNION STATION FUNDS IN ORDER TO MANAGE THE DATA FOR THIS PROGRAM AS WELL.
AND ALL, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, UM, I CAN GET INTO THAT LATER.
SO I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, UM, SOME OVERALL PERFORMANCE TARGETS THAT I THINK WERE, UM, QUITE INCREDIBLE.
SO THE TEAM OF FIVE OUTREACHED TO, UM, AND I'M GOING TO BE REFERENCING NOVEMBER NUMBERS, WHAT YOU HAVE ARE OCTOBER NUMBERS.
SO THEY MAY BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT WE, I AM GIVING KELLY THE NOVEMBER REPORT WHO CAN PUT IT INTO YOUR, UM, PACKETS FOR REVIEW.
SO AS OF THE END OF NOVEMBER, THE, OUR TEAMS HAVE OUTREACH TO 386 UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS, 113 IN THE CITY OF WEST COVINA.
UM, WE'VE ENGAGED 84 INDIVIDUALS IN THE CITY OF WEST COVINA OVER THE CONTRACT TERM.
SO, SO WHEN YOU SAY 300 PEOPLE IN NOVEMBER, HOW WE VERIFY THAT NUMBER OR JUST NUMBER CAN BE VULNERABLE.
SO IT'S, UH, I'M SORRY, 386 UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS FROM THE CONTRACT INCEPTION TO THE END OF NOVEMBER.
SO OVER THAT PERIOD OF TIME, UM, ALL OF OUR, UH, INITIATED CONTACTS AND, UM, HOUSING PLANS, ENGAGEMENT, SERVICE NOTES ARE ALL ENTERED INTO A DATABASE THAT'S CALLED CLARITY.
UM, HMES THE HOMELESS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM.
UM, AND THEN WE PULL MONTHLY DATA REPORTS FROM THAT SYSTEM.
IF WE HAVE A KELLY GO TO YOUR OFFICE, WE CAN PULL OUT AND SEE WHICH ONES.
SO THAT IS THE DATA WOULD BE AVAILABLE THAT ACCESSIBLE TO US FOR YOU ALL TO ACCESS? NO, NO, JUST FOR, FOR EXAMPLE, WE WANT TO VERIFY THE 280 SERVERS HAVE BEEN, THEY PERFORMED.
AND THE, WE LET'S SAY FOR EXAMPLE.
WELL, OUR STAFF JUST, HEY, UH, WE WANTED TO SEE, TO VERIFY, WELL, THIS JUST CHECK AND BALANCE.
THAT IS WE WERE GETTING REPORTS THAT JUST WERE, YOU KNOW, LOOK LIKE IT TOOK TWO MINUTES ON EXCEL TO JUST PUT NUMBERS IN.
YOU HAD NO METHOD OF VERIFYING.
UM, THE, THE IMPACT WAS NOT FELT, UM, THE FRUSTRATION FELT BY THE COMMUNITY GREW THAT THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING ABOUT A SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES AND VERIFICATION AND CONTRACTING BEFORE.
I THINK I UNDERSTAND IS, ARE YOU ASKING IF THERE'S A WAY TO GENERATE A REPORT THAT HAS LIKE A UNIQUE IDENTIFIER PER PERSON? I'M SORRY.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE CREDIBILITY.
SO WHEN WE GO TO ALL RESIDENTS, OKAY.
IS THEY COMPLAINING ABOUT, OKAY, THEY HAVE A HOMELESS.
AND, UH, WE CALL THE UNION AND THEN WE HAVE A SERVICE OR WISER SERVICE PERFORM OR HAVE TO PICK UP OKAY.
AND THE SAINT THEY CAN PICK UP THAT DIDN'T GET PICKED UP.
SO, SO THEY HAVE A DISCREPANCY OVER THERE THAT WE TRY TO SAY, HEY, NOPE.
OKAY, DAVE, THIS IS THE APPROVED.
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CONFIDENT, CONFIDENTLY TELL THEM THAT.
THAT IS A REASON I'M TALKING ABOUT CHECKING BALANCE.
IF, SHALL WE, NOT JUST A NUMBER BECAUSE THE NUMBER DOESN'T HAVE ANY NUMBERS BACKING OF YOUR NUMBER.
SO HOW CAN WE VERIFY THE NUMBER? OKAY.
AND PROVE TO OUR, UH, TAXPAYER RESIDENT THAT THE NUMBERS GENUINE CREDIBILITY THAT WE CAN CHECK AND BALANCE THE POINT I'M GOING TO LET JESSICA CONFIRM THIS.
BUT I DO BELIEVE THERE IS A WAY TO GENERATE A REPORT THAT WOULD HAVE, UM, AN INDIVIDUAL ONCE ENTERED INTO THE HMI SYSTEM.
EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS, WHAT'S CALLED AN IDENTIFIER.
IT'S A COMBINATION OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS.
UM, AND THEN ALL SERVICES, UM, ANY LINKAGE, UH, TO OTHER PROGRAMS, UM, ANY CONTACT THAT THAT INDIVIDUAL HAS WITH OUR HOUSING NAVIGATOR IS ENTERED UNDER THAT PROFILE.
UM, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE, MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND THE SOUTH SIDE.
AND, UH, WHEN I WAS CANVASSING WITH, WELL, THE RESIDENT THAT WE MET, UH, LOCAL.
WHEN THAT BE INTRODUCED AS A COUNCIL MEMBER AND SHE RIGHT AWAY SAY, IS THAT A POSITIVE? I CAN GET HELP.
ANY HOUSING, TEMPORARY HOUSING.
SO I COULD, BY THE WAY, CALLED THE STAFF.
[03:10:01]
THE UNION WOULD PICK US UP.WELL, O'CLOCK AT A FRIENDSHIP PARK.
AND THE END UP, UH, TEARAWAYS THEN TOLD ME, THEY TOLD HIM, OKAY.
AND I TOLD HER TO, AND STAY AT UNION WOULD PICK HER UP.
WELL, I'LL CLOCK AS A FRIENDSHIP PARK.
I THINK THE RESIDENTS HAPPY, SOME PEOPLE NEED HELP AND THEY ASK HIM FOR HELP AND THE WILL BE HELPED.
AND THE LATER ON WE FOUND OUT SHE NEVER BEEN PICKED UP.
AND SO WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
THAT I HAVE ALL THE TEXTS PROOF.
THAT WILL BE PICK UP WHAT TIME I EVEN WENT TO THE FRIENDSHIP PART TO SEE HER.
AND SHE HAS A CABO AT THE PARKING LOT, SO I SAY, OKAY.
AND THEY WOULD COME OVER HERE, PICK YOU UP AT ONE O'CLOCK AND THEN SHE'S, SHE NEEDS SOME MEDICAL ATTENTION ON HER LEG.
SO, SO, BUT THE POINT IS, IS SO HE'S AT THIS APPOINTMENT.
AND SHE NEVER WOULD PICK UP, SHE SAYS THEY TELL HIM, OKAY.
SOMEBODY IS SHOW UP ON MAYBE YOUR AGENCY OR SOME OTHER AGENCY.
THEY JUST PROVIDE HER SOME FOOD.
SO, SO WE WANTED TO SEE, BECAUSE THE, THAT ASKING FOR HELP HOUSING.
SO WE ENDED, THIS IS WHERE FASTEST UNION SPECIALIZE.
AND THEN WE CAN GIVE THEM TEMPORARY VOUCHERS OR SOMETHING.
AND THE, HOPEFULLY THE PERSON COULD BE OFF THE STREET AND ASKING FOR OFF THE STREET.
SO, ANYWAY, I DON'T KNOW, YOU HAVE THIS RECORD, YOU CAN CHECK INTO IT.
I STILL, TODAY, I HAVEN'T HAD A REPORT ABOUT HER NAME'S JESSICA.
AND SO MAYBE YOU GUYS HAVE A NEW RECORD OR THAT THEY D AND THE LADIES WERE NOT STILL ON THE STREET.
SO, SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN HELP PEOPLE WANTING TO GET HELP.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE IN A, I MEAN, I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK ON THAT SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL, UM, AND SORT OF WHAT THE, WHAT HER SITUATION AND EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN.
UM, BUT I THINK YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT.
I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT UNION STATION, WE DON'T HAVE, UM, WE DON'T HAVE VACANT SHELTER AVAILABLE THAT WE CAN, UM, IMMEDIATELY ENTER PEOPLE INTO.
AND SO THAT ALSO IS SOMETHING, UM, WE TRY AND CONTEND WITH AND, AND FIND OTHER OPTIONS.
IF THERE IS IMMEDIATE, UM, IMMEDIATE PLACE FOR SOMEONE TO GO AND THEY ARE WILLING TO GO, THEN WE ABSOLUTELY DO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION.
MAKE SURE THEY GET CHECKED IN, UM, THE MOTEL ON THIS SPECIFIC INCIDENT.
I CAN SEND YOU THE, MY TAX INFORMATION SO YOU CAN CHECK INTO IT.
WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OKAY, ALL THESE KINDS OF SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE SYSTEM TO HELP PEOPLE, AND SOME PEOPLE WANT HELP.
AND LATER ON, I ASKED FOR A GOD PANTRY.
AND THEY STEP INTO HELP THE LADY.
SO, SO, SO AT IT'S CHURCH, OKAY.
SO WE JUST WANT TO FIND ANY RESOURCE OKAY.
THAT WE CAN HELP PEOPLE WAITING TO GET HELP.
WE CAN CHICKEN TO WHAT'S THE SEAT AND FLOAT.
WE CAN HOPEFULLY FIND A WAY TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE SERVICE OR THE POST ON THE STREET.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE CAN HELP THEM OFF THE STREET TO HELP THEM OFF THE STREET NOW TEMPORARILY.
WE, HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIND A WAY OKAY.
TO HELP THEM PICK ON THEIR FEET.
UM, SO OF AMONGST THE, THE ENTIRE FIVE CITIES OVER FROM INCEPTION TO THE END OF NOVEMBER, UM, THE TEAM OF FIVE HOUSING NAVIGATORS PROVIDED 2,317, UM, SERVICES OVERALL, THAT COULD BE ANY ANYWHERE FROM DELIVERING, UM, MEALS AND HYGIENE KITS TO, UM, PUTTING IN A REFERRAL FOR MENTAL HEALTH OR A DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH REFERRAL LINKAGE TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES OR TO, UM, PRIMARY CARE MEDICAL SERVICES, INCLUDING THE STREET MEDICINE TEAM 21 HAVE BEEN LINKED TO PERMANENT HOUSING.
SO LINKAGE DOES NOT MEAN SOMEONE HAS MOVED IN JUST THAT THEY'VE BEEN LINKED TO, UM, IN AVAILABLE PERMANENT HOUSING RESOURCE.
AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT THOSE PERMANENT HOUSING RESOURCES ARE, YOU KNOW, MORE AND MORE BECOME AVAILABLE, UM, EVERY YEAR, BUT THEY'RE STILL PRETTY, PRETTY, A PRETTY CHALLENGING RESOURCE, UM, THAT I KNOW WE CONTINUE WORKING ON IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY, UM, 228 ASSESSMENTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
UM, 65 OF THOSE ASSESSMENTS, 65 INDIVIDUALS WERE ALREADY ASSESSED ONCE UNION STATION.
UM, STAFF CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL.
UM, SO I JUST WANT TO ALSO HIGHLIGHT SOME, I THINK THE MAJOR SUCCESSES OF THIS PROGRAM HAD BEEN, YOU KNOW, ARE THE, REALLY THE RAMP UP PERIOD WAS AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AS, UH, WHEN THE PANDEMIC STARTED.
AND I THINK THAT CREATED DEFINITELY SAFETY CONCERNS AND CHANGE IN PROTOCOL
[03:15:01]
FOR, UM, ANYONE WHO IS WORKING IN THE FIELD OF HOMELESS SERVICES.AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I KNOW EVERYONE'S LIFE OVERALL.
SO WE ADOPTED PRETTY QUICKLY AS FAST AS YOU CAN, LIKE KIND OF SHIFT A WHOLE AGENCY CULTURE, UM, EQUIPPED ALL OF OUR TEAMS AND ANY, ANY OF THE CLIENTS THAT WE WORK WITH.
ANYONE WE ENCOUNTERED ON THE STREET WITH THE PROPER PPE, UM, PROVIDED, WE PROVIDE TESTING ON THE STREET AND, AND ENCAMPMENTS.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, WE WERE ABLE TO STILL MEET MANY OF OUR TARGETS.
UH, DESPITE I THINK THERE WAS A, THIS WAS BEFORE I CAME ON BOARD, BUT THERE WAS A PAUSE MOMENT WHERE WE HAD TO ADJUST TO THE NEW REALITY OF THE PANDEMIC, WHERE YOU COME ON BULL.
I JOINED UNION STATION JULY OF 20, 20, 20, 20.
UM, AND I THINK THE OTHER MAJOR SUCCESSES, WE FORGED RELATIONSHIPS AND PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE.
UM, UNION STATION HAS HAD A REALLY SIGNIFICANT PRESENCE IN THE CITY OF PASADENA.
UM, AND WE'VE THROUGH OUR CES AS BEING THE CS LEAD AGENCY.
UH, WE COORDINATE THE ENTIRE REGION WORK WITH ALL THE SERVICE PROVIDERS, BUT I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'RE REALLY WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH THE CITY OF WEST COVINA.
UM, AND SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES IN THIS FIVE IN, IN THE FIVE CITIES PROGRAM.
UM, AND, AND THAT'S TEAM, ESPECIALLY IN THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, UH, I THINK BUILT A REALLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR, WITH THE WEST COVINA POLICE DEPARTMENT.
UM, AND IN VARIOUS W W WITH OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE OTHER, UM, CITIES I'M BLANKING ON THE EXACT, LIKE THEIR SPECIFIC NAMES, BUT I'M THINKING OF A SPECIFIC, UM, I THINK IT'S THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIONS PROGRAM IN THE CITY OF AZUSA.
UM, THEY'RE A SENIOR CENTER, UM, IN THE CITY OF GLENDORA.
UM, AND THROUGHOUT THIS PROGRAM, WE ALSO WERE ABLE, ABLE TO ASSIST QUITE A FEW OF THESE CITIES IN ADMINISTERING THEIR PREVENTION AND DIVERSION FUNDS THAT CAME THROUGH YOU AGAIN, QUESTION.
IS THAT TRUE? GLENDORA WANT TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT TO SERVICE WITH YOU GUY CDO, GLENDORA? NO, THAT'S NO, IT'S NOT TRUE.
SAID ANYTHING ABOUT, I BELIEVE, SORRY, SUE THE MAYOR, I BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE NOT, UM, THEY LOST THEIR NAVIGATOR AS WELL AND DID NOT PURSUE IT TO REPLACE THE NAVIGATOR.
COLBY KNOWS SOMETHING CURRENT.
SO CURRENTLY, UM, GLENDORA HAS, HAS A, UM, CONCURRENT PROGRAM RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME AS THE FIVE CITIES WITH ANOTHER COHORT OF CITIES.
AND SO, UM, WE'VE RESTRUCTURED, UM, USING THAT PROGRAM FOR THEM.
AND SO THAT MIGHT BE WHAT YOU'RE THINKING OF WITH GLENDORA CURRENTLY, ALL THE OTHER CITIES HAVE A NAVIGATOR, UM, WITH CHRISTIAN LEAVING THE CITY OF WEST COVINA IN NOVEMBER 19TH, A NOVEL CO COVINA ABOUT DO ANYTHING ABOUT COVID COVINA HAS A HOUSING NAVIGATOR.
CURRENTLY THEY DON'T, WHATEVER THAT CAN BE POSSIBLE, BUT I HAVEN'T SPOKEN WITH THEM ABOUT THAT.
UM, SO THE OTHER, THE OTHER TO DO THINGS IN THIS MIGHT ADDRESS, UM, THE STAFF TURNOVER THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, UM, OUTREACH AND HOW HOUSING NAVIGATION IS AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT JOB.
AND IT TAKES A REALLY SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL TO BE WILLING TO GO OUT THERE IN THE STREET EVERY DAY AND DO THE WORK IN THE PANDEMIC AND THE TYPE OF WEATHER WE EXPERIENCE, UM, AND ENCOUNTER THE, JUST THE VARIOUS DIFFERENT CRISES AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAN HAPPEN ON THE STREETS.
SO I CONSIDER THESE PEOPLE, MY TEAM EXTREMELY GIFTED AND UNIQUE IN THEIR SKILLS.
UNFORTUNATELY, THESE ROLES DON'T OFTEN PAY, UM, PAY A LOT, UM, SOMETHING UNION STATION HAS COMMITTED TO, UM, WELL, AND I'LL SAY THAT, I THINK THAT IS PART OF THE GENERAL DIFFICULTY IN HIRING DURING A PANDEMIC.
AND THEN ALSO, UM, IT HAS LED UNION STATION TO REEVALUATE OUR, UM, COMMITMENT TO WHAT WE'RE PAYING OUR STAFF AND, AND MOVE THAT NEEDLE CLOSER TO WHAT LOST THE, HAS COMMITTED TO PAYING THEIR STAFF, UM, IN THEIR MINIMUM WAGE OVERALL.
UM, AND THEN HALFWAY THROUGH THE PROJECT,
[03:20:01]
WE DID SHIFT FROM A MANUALIZED REPORTING, UM, PROCESS TO BRINGING ON A DATA SPECIALIST WHO WORKS UNDERNEATH JESSICA, UM, TO REALLY WORK WITH THE DATA IN THE HMES CLARITY SYSTEM AND BE ABLE TO PULL THOSE REPORTS.SO I THINK FOR THE FIRST, PROBABLY EIGHT MONTHS OR SO, UM, ALL OF OUR HOUSING NAVIGATORS WERE REPORTING, UM, INDIVIDUALLY AND MANUALLY COUNTING ALL OF THEIR CONTACTS.
UH, TH THAT'S NOT THE MOST RELIABLE METHOD OF REPORTING.
UM, AND SO THE REPORT YOU'LL RECEIVE AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, UM, WHICH WILL COVER OUR ENTIRE CONTRACT TERM THROUGH THE END OF DECEMBER, UM, WILL BE THE MOST ACCURATE REPORT, UM, THROUGHOUT THE CONTRACT TERM A LITTLE BIT.
SO, UM, THE, UM, PROJECT PERFORMANCE, WHEN YOU SAID INCEPTION THROUGH OCTOBER 20, 21 ON THE MAP, THE INCEPTION IS 2019 OR 2020, WHAT YEAR IS SO THE, OUR CONTRACT TECHNICALLY BEGAN, UM, NOVEMBER, 2019, BUT WE DID NOT, UM, HAVE STAFF WORKING IN THE CITIES UNTIL FEBRUARY STARTING FEBRUARY OF 2020.
SO I WOULD SAY BETWEEN FEBRUARY AND MARCH, I MEAN, I'M SORRY, FEBRUARY AND APRIL OF 2020 IS WHEN THE FULL TEAM WAS, UM, HIRED.
SO, UM, THESE NUMBERS ARE FOR TWO YEARS PRETTY MUCH.
UM, WELL, AND THEN MY NEXT QUESTION IS, DO YOU HAVE THE BREAKDOWN FROM, FOR ALL FIVE CITIES, LIKE OUT OF ALL THESE NUMBERS, UM, WHAT IS WEST COVINA OR WHAT'S AGAIN, INDIVIDUALLY PER CITY? UH, WE DO, WE DO HAVE THAT BREAKDOWN.
UM, LET ME JUST SEE IF I HAVE THAT IN MY PACKET OF PAPER HERE.
SO THAT'S, THIS, THIS IS ONLY FOR IT'S OVER OKAY.
THIS IS FOR, UH, THE MONTHLY DATA REPORT JUST FOR OCTOBER 1ST, 2021 3RD OF OCTOBER 31ST, 2021.
THAT'S ONLY FOR OCTOBER, CORRECT? CORRECT.
AND SO THAT'S FOR THE PRETTY MUCH TWO YEARS, WEST COVINA AT 110 CONTACTS ONLY, AND THEN NUMBER OF UNIQUE PERSON ENGAGED ONLY 81.
SO WHAT'S COOKING HAS, AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE HOMELESS ISSUE, OUT OF ALL THESE CITIES WAS COMING TO HAS THE MOST, RIGHT.
WELL, ARE THE CONTACTS, I MEAN, THE NUMBER OF CONTACTS INITIATED OKAY.
UM, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN, I MEAN, I WOULD REFERENCE THE, UH, POINT IN TIME COUNT FOR THE EXACT HOMELESS COUNT.
WELL, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE INCEPTIONS, THE TOTAL FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, IS THERE, IS IT JUST THESE TWOS? THERE'S ANOTHER SLIDE OR THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT, RIGHT.
SO THEN OUT OF, UM, PLACED IN PERMANENT HOUSING, HOW MANY OF LIKE WEST COVINA, UM, OR WEST COVINA WE'LL REST PRETTY MUCH RESIDENCE WEST COVINA.
I JUST CAUSE ALL THIS BREAKDOWN I DON'T HAVE, I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS COVINA WAS RELATION TO ALL THE OTHER CITIES THAT WE ARE.
I JUST WANTED TO EVALUATE ALL THESE.
WE DON'T HAVE THAT UP ON THE CHART.
NO, IT'S NOT IN THIS CHART, BUT IT'S, I BELIEVE IT MAY BE IN THE, UM, ADDITIONAL REPORT THAT I PROVIDED TO KELLY, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE THAT, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S ONLY FOR OCTOBER.
THAT'S EQUIVALENT TO HAS 22 PERCENTAGE OF, SO, UH, WEST COVINA HAD FIVE THAT WAS PLACED INTO PERMANENT HOUSING AND THEN ALMOST THOSE TWO YEAR PERIOD.
SO IT'S TOWARDS THE LAST PAGE.
[03:25:04]
ME PERSON RETAIN PERMANENT HOUSING.SO DO WE HAVE A REPLACEMENT FOR CHRISTIAN WHO WAS HERE? UM, NO, WE W WE DON'T WHERE WE'RE CONCLUDING THIS AS I UNDERSTAND.
SO THE END OF THE, UM, PROGRAM AND CONTRACT TERM IS DECEMBER 31ST.
UM, UNLESS IT'S DECIDED THAT THE PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE IN SOME WAY, BUT, UM, THE FIVE CITIES IS DISBANDING AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY SET UP AND PURSUING EACH THEIR OWN, UM, LIKE THEIR OWN PLANS IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CITIES.
WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS UNDER MEASURE AGE? SO, UM, I CAN'T SPEAK TO MEASURE AGE, BUT I CAN SHARE THAT, UH, DEPENDING ON WHAT CITIES HAVE OBSERVED IN, IN JUST LIKE IN WHAT THEY'VE LEARNED ABOUT HOMELESS SERVICES IN THE LAST, UM, TWO YEARS IN THE TYPES OF ROLES THAT CAN BE FUNDED.
UM, I THINK CITIES ARE DECIDING WHAT'S MOST APPROPRIATE FOR, FOR THEIR CITY.
UM, YOU KNOW, SOME EXAMPLES ARE FACILITATING MORE OF LIKE AN ACCESS CENTER, WHICH IS MORE OF LIKE A DROP-IN CENTER WHERE PEOPLE CAN WALK IN THAT WORKS FOR SOME CITIES WHERE, UM, IT'S MORE WALKABLE AND ACCESSIBLE, UH, IN CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES CAN BE PROVIDED ON SITE, UM, VERSUS OUTREACH AND HOUSING NAVIGATION ARE MUCH MORE STREET-BASED.
UM, AND I THINK CITIES ARE DECIDING, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN PART-TIME AND FULL-TIME HOUSING NAVIGATORS, UH, AND THEN ALSO, UH, ATTACHING VOUCHER FUNDS LIKE THE MOTEL VOUCHERS, UM, PREVENTION, DIVERSION FUNDS, OR YOU MAY ALSO, UH, HERE AT CALDERA, UM, PROBLEM-SOLVING FUNDS AND THEN RAPID REHOUSING FUNDS, DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY'VE, WHAT THEY'VE HEARD AND SEEN THE NEED IS IN THEIR CITY.
UM, AND THEN WHAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL INTERVENTIONS AND THAT CHANGES, UH, BASED ON GEOGRAPHY.
AND WE ASSESS THAT TO SEE WHICH ROUTE.
SO, UM, I, I THINK IT, I MEAN, JUST FROM THE TOP OF MY HEAD RIGHT NOW, UM, I THINK SOME OF IT COMES DOWN TO WHAT, UH, WHAT OUTREACH TEAMS HAVE SEEN IN YOUR, LIKE, IN YOUR, MAYBE RESEARCH THAT A BIT AND GET BACK TO US ON, ON JUST MAYBE COUNTY-WIDE WHAT WORKED BEST AND WHAT PATH TO PURSUE.
UM, AND I CAN SAY PROBABLY FOR THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, A DROP-IN CENTER MODEL WHERE PEOPLE ARE WALKING INTO A SITE IS NOT, NOT GOING TO GET THE MOST FOLKS THROUGH THE DOOR.
IT'S DEFINITELY THE STREET-BASED APPROACH.
I'LL REACH THE OUTREACH, THE OUTREACH AND HOUSING NAVIGATION, FURTHER QUESTION.
UH, SO, SO JUST TO BE CLEAR ON, ON, ON THE NUMBERS, UM, ONCE THE, THE PERSON, UH, HAD BEEN INITIATED, UM, THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T GET COUNTED AGAIN.
SO THIS IS ONE, SO 110 UNIQUE PEOPLE, CORRECT.
UH, SO THAT THAT'S NOT CONTEXTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE PROBABLY CONTACTED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES.
UH, AND THEN, AND THEN W IN THE, IN THE CITY WHERE WE WERE USING WE'RE USING VOUCHERS, UM, UH, BUT WE DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE ANY LIKE, UH, RAPID REHOUSING, UH, SETUP BEYOND THE VOUCHERS, OR DO WE HAVE ANY, SO IN, IN WAS COVINA AS MOTEL VOUCHER PROGRAM, UM, THE MAJORITY ARE RESERVED FOR MOTEL VOUCHERS, SO THAT'S AN INTERIM HOUSING INTERVENTION.
THERE'S ALSO, UM, A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE MONEY RESERVED FOR SECURITY DEPOSITS AND MOVE IN ASSISTANCE.
AND I BELIEVE WE'VE USED, UM, I BELIEVE WE HAVE USED ONE SECURITY DEPOSIT AT THIS POINT, MAYBE TWO FURTHER QUESTION.
UH, WE, WE TRIED TO SET UP A WEST COVINA HOMELESS INITIATIVE.
AND THE, TO CONSOLIDATE ALL THE RESOURCE.
AND, UH, INCLUDING, UH, UN AGENCY AND THE CHURCHES.
SOME PEOPLE WOULD NEED TO TAKE TO THEIR HOME BECAUSE THEY HAVE,
[03:30:01]
UH, SOME KIND OF RESOURCE.AND SO, SO I TALKED, WE TALKING TO, UH, SOME CHURCHES.
AND WE'VE TALKED TO SOME, UM, OKAY.
ON THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.
SO, SO HAVE YOU SEEN ABOUT, MAYBE WE CAN KIND OF CONSOLIDATE AND OKAY.
DOING THIS TOGETHER IS OKAY TO PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE CAN BE HELP.
HAVE YOU ANY OF JUST WENT OUT SOUND LIKE YOU, JUST YOU OKAY.
AND, UH, YOU JUST, IT'S A VERY DETAILED RESOURCE.
AND, UH, AND ONLY HELP VERY FEW PEOPLE.
SO WHILE WE CAN DO IS CAN WE DO GO TOGETHER AND WITH ALL THE AGENCY, OKAY.
OR OUR CHURCH AND, UM, TO, TO WORK TOGETHER, I'VE USED THINKING ABOUT THE POSSIBLE, SINCE WE DON'T GET OKAY.
SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH OF A STRONG RESOURCE.
SO HAVE YOU THINK ABOUT, WE CAN, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILLING TO HELP.
WE REALLY WANT TO HELP THE PEOPLE IS BECAUSE STILL HUMAN BEING ON THE STREET AND IT'S, CO-ED CAN WE HELP THEM? OKAY.
AND A WORK TOGETHER, HAVE YOU THINK ABOUT ANY PUTS SUBJECTION AND PROPOSAL? UM, AND WE CAN DETAIL THIS FURTHER FOR SPECIFICALLY TO WEST COVINA.
WE HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, UM, IN COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS LIKE YOU'RE DESCRIBING.
SO, UM, HAVING A FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATION, PARTNER PARTNER WITH US TO, FOR EXAMPLE, DO COLD WEATHER, COLDWELL WEATHER SHELTER, OR SAFE HAVEN, UM, PROJECTS.
AND WE WILL PROVIDE THE CASE MANAGEMENT, UM, AND SUPPORT SERVICE.
SO I, I THINK THAT COLLABORATING WITH LOCAL SERVICE PROVIDERS IS REALLY ESSENTIAL.
AS YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, IN THIS PROGRAM, WE HAD ONE NAVIGATOR PER CITY.
UM, THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO DO ALONE.
AND SO WHEREVER WE CAN PARTNER WITH, UH, LOCAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, LOCAL CHURCHES, UM, TO REALLY STRATEGIZE AND FORMULATE, UM, AN OUTREACH PLAN AND BRING TOGETHER ALL OF OUR RESOURCES.
UM, I THINK THAT'S WHEN WE COME OUT WITH THE STRONGEST PROJECTS AND LIKE SUPPORT FOR YOUR COMMUNITY, THE POINT IS HAVE A LOT OF VOLUNTEER.
AND NOT LIKE, I'M NOT SAYING YOU WILL STAB, I THINK YOU STAND WITH FOR LOVED ONE TO HELP TOO.
BUT AS I SAY, THEN WE HAVE A MORE PEOPLE PASSION TO HELP.
THEN WE CAN TRY TO FIND OTHER RESOURCES.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, THE CITY DOESN'T, WE DON'T HAVE A BUDGET.
MEASURE H MONEY INTO THE COUNTY.
AND THEY WANT TO MATCH HIM, FOUND THIS AND THAT IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
AND DUE TO OUR BUDGET AND ALL THE ISSUE.
SO, BUT, BUT, BUT THEY'D HAVE SO MANY OF A PRIVATE GROUP.
SO MAYBE WE CAN KIND OF WORK TOGETHER, SEE WHAT WE CAN, AND YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE ABOUT HOW TO HELP, HOW TO DESIGN THAT.
SO MAYBE YOU CAN TRAIN A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE, SEE HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER? BECAUSE A LOT OF CHURCHES OR GET A GROUP, THEY, THEY, THEY, THEY WANT TO HELP, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW.
SO MAYBE WE CAN KIND OF WORK TOGETHER.
IS THAT POSSIBLE? WE CAN, YOU CAN KIND OF LEAN ON THESE KIND OF ISSUES SO WE CAN MAYBE HAVE A POTENTIAL TO KIND OF HELP OUR REGION.
I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, AS THE CS LEAD AGENCY, WE, YOU KNOW, AND WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T DO IT ALL.
AND SO WHEREVER THERE ARE ORGANIZATIONS WHO WANT TO BUILD CAPACITY TO DO THIS WORK, UM, WE ARE HAPPY TO SUPPORT AND FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY.
I THINK IT'S UNIQUE TO EACH CITY AND TO THE ORGANIZATION AND WHAT THEY'RE, HOW THEY'RE LOOKING TO HELP.
SO I THINK WE WOULD HAVE TO MEET WITH WHO THOSE STAKEHOLDERS ARE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY, WHAT RESOURCES THEY HAVE AND THEN HOW WE CAN BEST WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE IT'S THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT.
UM, BUT BUILDING CAPACITY FOR SMALLER ORGANIZATIONS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS ESSENTIAL.
UH, ANOTHER THING I THINK WE USE THE VOUCHER PROGRAM FOR OUR CDBG FUND, THE FEDERAL FUNDS CDBG FUND TO REIMBURSE YOU.
SO, SO WE WANT TO UTILIZE OKAY.
AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO HELP PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO MOVE IN LIKE A RUNNING DAY COLD.
AND THEN WE HAVE SOME MOTEL WE'LL TELL AROUND, THEY'LL GET HELP THEM INTO ESPECIALLY FAMILY.
IF THEY HAVE A FAMILY LEAVING THE CON, CAN WE HELP THEM? AND THAT WE KNOW THEY KNOW WHERE THEY CAN GET HELP.
SO, SO THEY CAN ASK HIM FOR HELP AND THAT WE CAN HELP THEN WITH YOU ODDS ALL THE GROUP TOGETHERS WITH OKAY.
KIND OF A CENTRALIZED WITH SOMETHING WE CAN RIGHT AWAY APPROACH THEM AND HELP THEM TO SOME, BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING YOU AGENCIES, HOW HOUSING OKAY.
BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT KEEP OUT THE FOOD, BUT THE HOUSING IS THE MOST DIFFICULT ONE.
SO HOW CAN WE HELP THE PEOPLE TO BE
[03:35:01]
THE ESPECIALLY CO-ED OKAY.IT IS REALLY COLD IN NIGHTTIME.
UH, HOW CAN WE HELP THEM MAKE SENSE? YEAH.
IT MAKES SENSE THAT I KNOW, UM, THIS IS AN ISSUE, I THINK, IN THE CENTRAL, IN THE CENTRAL REGION THAT WE, WE DON'T HAVE, UM, ENOUGH SHELTER AND INTERIM HOUSING.
UM, BUT I THINK THAT MIGHT BE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT MIGHT BE THE MAYBE FIRST, FIRST STOP MOST ESSENTIAL IS, UM, I THINK THERE ARE MODELS WE'VE USED WITH CHURCHES IN PASADENA TO SET UP COLD WEATHER SHELTER, OR WEATHER ACTIVATED SHELTER, UM, AS WELL AS SAFE HAVEN PROJECTS FOR SAFE PARKING AND THINGS.
SO, UM, PRIOR TO SOMEONE BEING ABLE TO, TO HAVE A SPOT IN AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL LOCATION, THEY CAN AT LEAST PARK THEIR CAR SOMEWHERE SAFE FOR THE NIGHT.
UM, BOTH OF THOSE THINGS WE'VE DONE WITH, WITH OTHER CHURCHES IN THE REGION.
SO, UM, SO ESTABLISHING THOSE, THOSE TYPES OF LIKE SAFE PARKING, UM, MAYBE SHELTER WITH, WITH THE NONPROFIT AND CHURCHES, UM, TH THOSE WOULD, WOULD, WOULD BE A NECESSARY FIRST STEP YOU THINK? UH, I THINK LIKE DEVELOPING INTERIM, INTERIM HOUSING AND PERMANENT HOUSING, OBVIOUSLY I WOULD LIKE FOR BOTH OF THEM TO HAVE HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME, BUT, UM, INTERIM HOUSING IS THE, WHETHER IT'S IN A MOTEL VOUCHER FORM OR IN IT'S A, WHETHER ACTIVATED SHELTER OR A SAFE HAVEN PROJECT, ALL THOSE ARE WAYS TO GET PEOPLE INTO A SAFER SITUATION THAN BEING ON THE STREET.
UM, AND SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING DEFINITELY, WE HAVE A VERY LIMITED RESOURCE OF IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY, WE REALLY HAVE THAT, UM, THOSE RESOURCES IN PASADENA AND POMONA AND THE MIDDLE, YOU KNOW, THE CENTRAL REGION HAS BEEN, UM, HAS HAD A REALLY DIFFICULT TIME.
AND THE TWO SHELTERS THAT WERE RUNNING, UM, CLOSED DOWN, UH, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATES NOW, BUT IT'S SUCH A NEED THAT.
UM, THOSE, I FEEL LIKE THOSE ARE REALLY ESSENTIAL IN ADDITION TO HAVING THE PERMANENT HOUSING UNITS TO WHETHER IT'S FOR A RAPID REHOUSING, A RESIDENT, OR, UM, A LAMP LANDLORDS THAT ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH SECTION EIGHT VOUCHERS, UM, AND ENGAGING MORE LANDLORDS IN THIS, IN SOLVING THIS ISSUE WITH US, UH, I THINK IS LIKE THE SECOND STEP TO THAT.
IF YOU ANY, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.
WELL, YOU'VE GIVEN US A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT IF YOU WOULD PLEASE, UM, MAYBE GIVE US SOME RECOMMENDATIONS AND WE HOPE THE FUTURE.
I WOULD THINK I BOUGHT MAYBE SOME PROPOSAL.
WE CAN SEE, WE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER FOR NEXT CHAPTER.
I THINK WE ALL WANT TO HELP PEOPLE.
ALL THE WAY WE WON'T SIT OVER HERE.
IT'S A VERY, WE ALL UNDERSTAND VERY DIFFICULT, COMPLICATED, OKAY.
SO, SO, AND, UH, THAT WE ALL, WE ALL UNDERSTAND, BUT OKAY.
SOME PEOPLE REFUSE TO GET HELP AND THEY'LL, HOW CAN WE KIND OF WORK SOMETHING THEN WITH THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND WITH A RESOURCE WE HAVE IN OUR CITY.
AND KIND OF CONSOLIDATE TOGETHER.
WELL, WHY DIDN'T WAITING FOR COUNTIES? HEY, WHERE'S THE MONEY? WHERE'S THE MONEY.
I THINK RATHER THAN WAITING FOR THAT, I THINK WE SHOULD JUST DO IT OURSELVES.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO HELP.
HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER? OKAY.
AND THE LADY ONE WHO WAS HERE SHARE SOMETHING WITH US.
WELL, I KNOW GUY, YOU'RE KNOCKING YOUR HEAD.
I KNOW YOU GUYS WANT TO HELP TOO.
I KNOW WE, WE JUST WORRY ABOUT, OKAY.
AND, UH, WE, SO WE WILL WORRY ABOUT THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET.
WE HOPE WE CAN HAVE AN AGENCY THAT REALLY CAN KIND OF HELP PEOPLE AND THE CITY WILLING TO HELP TOO.
AND A LOT OF, UH, WE HAVE MEETING WITH ALL THESE OKAY.
CHURCH CHURCHES GROUP AND THIS AND THAT.
WE HAVE MEETING MODEL ONE TIME.
AND THE DAY OF WE STARTED INTO THE OUTREACH.
WE WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER MEETING TO GET IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
YOU GOT A PROPOSAL WE CAN SEE, CAN WE WORK TOGETHER? OKAY.
AND, UH, TO MAKE IT MAYBE A FUTURE MODEL FOR ALL THE CT TO DO THE SAME THING, CONSOLIDATE, CONSOLIDATE THE RESOURCE.
BECAUSE THE, EVERYBODY DO THEMSELVES.
SOME PLACES DON'T GET THE RESULTS.
SO HOW CAN WE CONSOLIDATE? AND TO REALLY GO OUT AND HELP THEM.
AND WITH LOVE WITH EVERYTHING.
THAT'S WHY I REALLY TRUST THE CHURCH
[03:40:01]
MEMBERS OR COMPASSION TO HELP PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO HELP PEOPLE.SO, SO WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AS A, HOPEFULLY WE CAN HAVE A GOOD PARTNERSHIP.
SO YOU WILL NOT, HE'LL TRY TO QUIT IS YOU WILL, HE'LL TRY TO FIND A SOLUTION.
AND IF I DON'T WORK TOGETHER OKAY.
AGENCY, UH, WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WE DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT, OKAY.
SO THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO SHOW THE CREDIBILITY TO PEOPLE.
AND AT THE SAME TIME WE FIND SOLUTION, YOU PROBABLY HEARD US TALK ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION EARLIER.
WE'RE KIND OF DOING THE SAME THING.
THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO THINK OF HOW WE COULD DO THINGS BETTER AND MORE EFFECTIVE.
AND, AND, UH, I, I THINK IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
UH, YOU, YOU REALLY FOCUSED ON HOW THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY HAS REALLY LACKED AND PROVIDING, UH, THOSE TYPE OF RAPID REHOUSING AND SAFE HAVEN PARKINGS.
UH, AND I THINK IT IS SOMETHING WE COULD LEAD IN, UM, AND, AND DOING IT IN THAT WAY.
AND TO THAT POINT, IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU COULD DO TO ADVOCATE FOR US ON A COUNTY LEVEL TO SEE YOU COULD REQUEST MORE RESOURCES, WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT.
WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN REALLY TRYING.
SO JUST KNOW THAT EVERY CHANCE WE GET, WE, UM, ADVOCATE FOR OUR REGION, UM, AND ESPECIALLY THE CENTRAL REGION AT THE COUNTY LEVEL.
SO JUST KNOW YOU HAVE THAT PARTNERSHIP AND UNION STATION.
AND I JUST APPRECIATE, UM, YOU ALL HAVING US HERE TONIGHT AND FOR THE PARTNERSHIP WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST YEAR THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AND ALL THE CHALLENGES WITH THAT, UM, AND WE'LL PUT TOGETHER SOME RECOMMENDATIONS AND OPTIONS FOR A PROPOSAL FOR YOU ALL TO, I THINK, HOPE WE HOPE.
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP, GOOD PARTNERSHIP.
AND, UH, BUT WE WANT TO DO A PROPOSAL AND TO SEE WHAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER.
SO HE'S NOT A BLANK CHECK AND HOPEFULLY IF WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WE CAN HAVE FOR THIS MEETING.
THIS COMMUNICATION ALL THE TIME.
SO, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKED LIKE THE FIRST TIME WE MET.
IF WE CAN HAVE A RELATIONSHIP, WE CAN SEE WHAT'S A POET AND COME WHO IS AN ARROW AND TRY IT AND WHERE TO IMPROVE.
WHERE'S THE REACTION WHERE IS, UH, OKAY.
RESPONSIBLE AND RESIDENT AND UPON THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY AND HOW CAN WE ALL WORK TOGETHER AND TRY TO HELP PEOPLE.
SO I THINK THIS IS WHY WE HERE.
AND THAT IS WHY WE DRAG YOU OVER HERE.
WE TRY TO SEE WHAT WE CAN HAVE SOME SOLUTION AND WORK TOGETHER.
THAT WAS WHEN WE LOPEZ COUNCILWOMAN, SORRY.
UM, IN REGARDS HOUSING, I DON'T KNOW IF SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD BRING UP ABOVE, UM, HIGHER LEVEL.
AND I KNOW SOMETIMES THEY HAVE THIS CONCEPT OF JUST BUILDING THESE HOUSES, UH, HOMELESS SHELTERS, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO STAY IN THOSE THINGS.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN CONSIDER EVEN INTERNAL HOME.
I MEAN, THERE'S SOME PEOPLE RESIDENTS WHO DON'T MIND TEMPORARILY HOUSING THEM.
I KNOW ONE, UM, ONE OF THE CHURCH MEMBERS WHO TOOK IN A HOMELESS, UH, STAYED WITH HIM WITH THEIR FAMILY FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT DIDN'T RECEIVE A DIME FROM, YOU KNOW, ASSISTANT OR ANYTHING.
BUT IF IT'S, THERE'S SOMETHING TO THAT EXTENT, BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME RESIDENTS WHO, YOU KNOW, COMPLAIN, BUT THEN SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY, THEN YOU HOUSE THEM AND SOME DON'T MIND.
AND, AND I'VE SEEN IT DONE, YOU KNOW, IN OTHER PLACES, BUT THEY DON'T GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT.
SO IF IT'S IN REGARDS TO HOUSING TEMPORARY, MAYBE THEY CAN CONSIDER GETTING, UM, LIKE A, A PARTNERSHIP WITH, UH, THE RESIDENTS IN ANY CITY ACTUALLY.
SO IF YOU CAN POSSIBLY BRING THAT UP AND, AND MAKE IT A WIN-WIN FOR THOSE WHO ARE ACCEPTING THEM TEMPORARILY, AND THOSE WHO ARE STAYING.
AND I THINK THAT ONE ALSO HELPS THOSE WHO ARE, UM, IN HOMELESS WITH THE MENTAL CAPACITY OF A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT.
SO IF THAT IS A POSSIBILITY, PLEASE DO.
I JUST, UH, YEAH, IF THE VOUCHER IDEA COULD BE WIDENED, RIGHT.
UH, AND AGAIN, ALL THOSE PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY VETTED, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE, A LOT OF CHURCH PEOPLE, A LOT OF NON-PROFITS, UH, WHO WOULD, YOU KNOW, HAVE PEOPLE IN THEIR HOME AND, AND, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH THAT SAFE SPACE FOR, AND WE DON'T WANT TO BURDEN THE ONE WHO TAKES THEM IN AND THEY SHOULD BE COMPENSATED THAT.
AND IT SOLVES, IT'S A WIN-WIN.
SO HERE'S A QUESTION HOW SOON WE CAN GET A PROPOSAL, UM, AND THEN CONSOLIDATE, WE HELP EACH OTHER.
SO IT'S NOT LIKE A CITY DON'T WANT TO HELP IS OKAY.
CITY WILL STEP IN TO PUT THE CONNECTION AND HOW CAN WE AS A LEADER.
ALSO, YOU CAN GIVE, PROVIDE THIS PROPOSAL TO US.
SO WE SEE WE CAN, THEY END UP MAKE THIS THING AS A HOPEFULLY POSSIBLE, THERE WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL VENTURES AND MAYBE BECOME A WATER TYPE FOR ALL THE CITY TO FOLLOW, TO KIND OF STUDY WITH SOMETHING.
[03:45:01]
OKAY.PROACTIVE COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND CONSOLIDATE THE RESOURCE AND TO HELP OTHER COMMUNITY OF HOMELESS.
MAYBE BY THEN, I WAS GOING TO SAY BEFORE IF BEFORE CHRISTMAS TIME BETTER.
WELL, GIVE ME, GIVE ME TILL THE END OF THE TOMORROW.
YEAH, I THINK IT'S BY END OF THE YEARS.
AND THE NEXT MEETING, WE CAN GO INTO MAYBE SOME MANAGER OFFICE.
WE CAN SIT DOWN, THEN WE CAN GO THROUGH IT.
AND AGAIN, WE REALLY WANT TO WORK OUT SOMETHING OKAY.
TO HAVE, UH, SOME OF, UH, OUTCOME THAT PEOPLE WOULD BE HELD.
SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT AND, UH, WITH THAT, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO MOVE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.
WE GOT, IT SOUNDS LIKE A THAI MOTION TO APPROVE.
SO I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN LOPEZ V AUTO AND A SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN MAYOR, TIM PROTESTS.
COUNCIL, WOMAN LOPEZ, BEATA BY MAYOR PRO TEM, GS.
MAKE A NICE PROPOSAL THAT OKAY.
CAN BE PRACTICED AND EXERCISE.
[MAYOR/COUNCILMEMBERS REPORTS]
