HOW MANY SPEAKER CARDS DO WE HAVE? MAYOR? WE HAVE FIVE SPEAKER CARDS THIS EVENING.
I'D LIKE TO SET THE TIME AT THREE MINUTES EACH.
UH, DO I HAVE CONSENSUS FROM OUR COUNCIL? SORRY.
WELL, I JUST ASK FOR CONSENSUS ON THREE.
SO WE'LL DO THREE MINUTES AND WHO'S THE FIRST ONE.
OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS MIKE GREENSPAN FOLLOWED BY FOLLOWED BY MS. JERRY POACHERS, MY GREENSPAN, MR. SHOEMAKER, PLEASE PIPE DOWN OUT THERE.
WHAT HAPPENED? IT'S NOT AS IF WE HAVE A WHOLE ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE WANTING TO SPEAK FIVE PEOPLE BY FUCKING SPEAKERS AND WE ONLY GET THREE MINUTES.
ALL THE MONEY YOU TAKE IN ALL THE TIME YOU TAKE OF THE PEOPLE, YOU TAKE THEIR MONEY, YOU GIVE THEM NOTHING.
AND NOW YOU, YOU CUT THEIR TIME DOWN TO THREE FUCKING MINUTES AGAINST YOUR OWN RULES.
I WAS GOING TO BE NICE, BUT I GUESS A NICE DOESN'T WORK.
YOU AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A GOAL WITH YOUR LOSS.
WELL, KEEP SPENDING THAT MONEY AND FUCKING WASTING IT JUST WASTED BECAUSE LATIA HAS THESE NICE PLUSH DOWNTOWN OFFICES AND THEY, THEY CREATE A PAPERWORK TRAIL.
AND WHEN THEY CREATE A PAPERWORK TRAIL, THEY SEND IT OFF TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND GET MONEY.
THEY CAN'T LOOK LIKE WE'RE DOING SOMETHING AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING.
SOMEBODY WAS SUPPOSED TO COME TONIGHT AND SHE EXPOSED ONE OF THE BIG WIGS GUY NAMED PHIL ANSELL OF WASHA DRIVING A SILVER PHANTOM ROLLS ROYCE.
NOT PUTTING PEOPLE INTO HOUSING, BUT DRIVING A ROLLS ROYCE.
WELL, IF YOU THINK IT'S ALMOST, WE'RE JUST GONNA JUST SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING.
THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT IT.
YOU'RE WHISTLING PIXIE AT HERE.
THE CAMERA CATCHES IT AFTER ALL WISH I WAS IN THE LAND OF COTTON.
LOOK AWAY, LOOK AWAY, LOOK AWAY.
DIXIELAND IN DIXIE LAND, WHERE I WAS BORN EARLY YOUNG AND FROSTY MARTIN, LOOK AWAY, LOOK AWAY, LOOK AWAY DIXIELAND.
[00:05:02]
AND DIXIE LAND.I'LL TAKE MY STAND TO LIVE IN, DIE IN DIXIE.
OH WAY DOWN SOUTH AND DIXIE AFTER ALL, YOU JUST HAVE A FUCKED UP ATTITUDE.
AND I FIGURED WHY NOT? WHAT'S WRONG WITH FIVE MINUTES, FIVE FUCKING MINUTES.
AS FAR AS YOUR EMERGENCIES, AS ARMANDO HARTMAN SAYS, GOD HATES HOMOSEXUALITY.
MAYBE YOU'RE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CORONA VIRUS BECAUSE OF SAME SEX MARRIAGES, DUDES, DICK AND DUDES, GALS DELDOT AND GALS.
AND YOU'RE WONDERING, GEE, WHY DON'T WE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS IN THIS WORLD? MAYBE IT'S YOUR CONDUCT.
THAT'S WHAT'S CAUSING IT TO HAPPEN.
WELL, I'M SURE YOU'LL BE GRATEFUL THAT I'LL BE FINISHED SPEAKING IN SEVEN OR SIX SECONDS, BUT FUCK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR THAT NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
HERMAN FOLLOWED BY JERRY PATCHES, FOLLOWED BY WIN-WINS.
AND SO ON ITEM SEVEN, IN REGARDS TO CITI REVIEW FOR 2022 CITY COUNCIL GOALS, BOTH, ARE THERE ANY GOALS? IF WE LOOK AT ITEM ONE, DETERMINING THERE IS A NEED FOR A CONTINUANCE TO A LOCAL EMERGENCY, WHAT IS A LOCAL EMERGENCY? WHAT IS A LOCAL EMERGENCY? YOU STILL SEE PEOPLE HAVING TO RUN AROUND AND STAND IN LINES TO GET COVID TESTING DELTA TESTED A MOCK RUN TESTED, AND WHAT'S THE NEXT ONE, DARIAN TEST IT BECAUSE IT'S A GODDAMN SHAME THAT WE WASTE OUR DOLLARS AND CENTS ON FINAGLING AROUND AND AROUND AND AROUND LIKE YOUR DUMB, DUMB PRESIDENT AND HIS LITTLE CHUNKA HIPPIE FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
KAMILAH WHO CONTINUED TO DEPRIVE THE PUBLIC A RIGHT TO EITHER WEAR A MASK OR NOT WEAR A MASK.
AND THE QUESTION IS, HOW MANY OF US HAVE DIED? I KEEP COMING IN IN HERE AND I SEE THE SAME FIVE OF YOU.
YOU SEE ME 15 YEARS WITHOUT A FLU SHOT, NOT ONE FUCKING COVID TEST AND MANDATORY THAT I STICK A SWAB UP MY NOSE JUST TO HAVE EMERGENCY CARE.
WELL, THAT'S A FUCKING CRIME TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE PUBLIC'S MONEY.
AND I REALLY HOPE THAT LOSS GETS THE BIG GOVERNMENT TO STICK THEIR BIG COCK UP THAT PUSSY OF LOSS ON LOS ANGELES, HOUSING AUTHORITY AND STOP THE STEALING.
LOOK AROUND WEST COVINA, NEVER IN OUR LIVES.
HAVE WE SEEN SO MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE WALKING OUR STREETS DAILY, AND YET YOU SCUMBAGS DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
LOSS HAS $70 MILLION HUD MONEY, AND ALL THEY CAN SAY IN THEIR PROTOCOL IS THAT WHILE WE HAVE NINE UNITS AVAILABLE, AVAILABLE FOR WHAT FUCKING VETERANS ARE SLEEPING ON SIDEWALK AND STREETS, A WOMAN AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE LIVING WHEREVER THEY CAN LIVE.
AND THE REST OF US SCUMBAGS, LOOK AT IT AS NO BIG DEAL OF MINE, MR. MAYOR.
SO I REALLY HOPE IN YOUR COMPASSION AND HEART TO BELIEVE IN WHAT THE SYSTEM'S ALL ABOUT.
I HOPE YOU STEP UP AND SHOW WEST COVINA.
IF NOT, I'M STILL DICKING AROUND HERE AND I HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD TO STOP.
AND THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE GOING TO STOP ME IS PROOF TO ME THAT AMERICA IS NOT FUCKED UP.
JERRY PATCHES FOLLOWED BY WIN-WIN ZANG FOLLOWED BY JOHN SHOEMAKER.
TONIGHT, I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT ITEMS 2, 3, 4, AND FIVE.
I THINK THE VERY IMPORTANT ITEMS, UM, ITEM SIX IS JUST OPAQUE, WHICH IS WHAT YOU GUYS LIKE TO DO IS BE OPAQUE.
AND I THINK THEY'RE REALLY A GOOD IDEA.
UPDATING JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND SALARY GRADES IS IMPORTANT.
[00:10:02]
I THINK THE RESIDENTS IN GENERAL, WHEN THEY UNDERSTAND THINGS, BUT ALSO, AND I'VE HEARD GOOD THINGS SUPPORT THAT IT'S THE BEING ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR.YOU'D LOOK MUCH BETTER IF YOU PUT AN UNDER DEPARTMENTAL MANNERS AND WE KNOW THAT YOU WOULD DISCUSS IT INSTEAD OF PUTTING ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR.
AND I MENTIONED THIS A YEAR AGO AND PULLING IT OFF, IT LOOKS OPAQUE.
OPAQUE IS NOT TRANSPARENT OUT OF THESE ITEMS. THE ONE THAT I REALLY LIKED WAS THE FORENSIC SPECIALISTS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
I WANT TO THANK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR BEING RECEPTIVE OR LOOKING AT NEW WAYS OF DOING THINGS.
I READ THE JOB DESCRIPTION AND ALL THE ITEMS AND IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD CHANGE.
SO THANK YOU POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WHEN WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED BY JOHN SHOEMAKER FOLLOWED BY OUR ROBINSON GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND UH, MS. ASSISTANT CITY MANAGERS, STAFF, AND EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE AND WATCHING THE HOME HAPPY NEW YEAR.

UM, SO, UH, ANOTHER THING I WANTED TO MENTION TO YOU IS THAT WE PROVIDE, UH, A VARIETY OF A VIRTUAL PROGRAMS. UM, PLEASE CHECK OUR WEBSITE, THE LIBRARY WEBSITE FOR SCHEDULES AND RESERVATIONS, AND THE PLEASE TAKE THE ADVANTAGE OF THE LIBRARY SERVICES, THE OLD SERVICES AND THE PROGRAMMING, EVERYTHING IN THE LIBRARIES ARE FREE FOR THE PUBLIC.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
THANK YOU, JOHN SHOEMAKER FOLLOWED BY OUR ROBINSON AND YOUR LIPS DIDN'T EVEN MOVE WHEN YOU, UH, SPOKE FOR HIM.
IT'S JUST AMAZING HOW MOST OF YOU CONTRADICT EXACTLY EVERYTHING YOU WERE IN FOR, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO BE OPEN, BUT WE DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT A HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WHICH WE KNOW IS NOTHING MORE THAN A POWER PLAY.
SO YOU CAN PUNISH THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T SUPPORT YOU IN BUSINESS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS A CONSOLE THAT TURNED DOWN ENTERPRISE COMING TO OUR CITY, WHICH WOULD DELIVER SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THREE AND $400,000 A YEAR IN TAX REVENUE TO US BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ON THE LIST.
THE APPROVED BY THE KING OF TONI TOWN, NOBODY WAS ARGUING AGAINST THEM, EXCEPT SOMEBODY WHO WAS ON THE LIST OF MOST FAVORED NATIONS ON TONY'S LIST.
BUT YOU GET AMAZON THAT WANTS TO GO INTO AN AREA
[00:15:01]
THAT IS PRETTY MUCH RESIDENTIAL, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE ON ONE OF THE OTHER ROADS.AND WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GET $4 MILLION OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.
OH, I GUESS THE THREE TO $4 MILLION FROM ENTERPRISE WASN'T WORTH IT.
AND NOBODY WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT EXCEPT FOR ONE PERSON.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THAT YOU GUYS ARE EVEN INCONSISTENT WHEN YOU'RE SAYING WE NEED MONEY, BUT YOU'LL WALK AWAY FROM IT.
CAUSE THEY'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, SPECIFIC, YOU KNOW, I, I REMEMBER A PROFESSOR I HAD WHEN IT CAME TO STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND EVERY BASIC TEXTBOOK SAYS, GOALS ARE USELESS UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME PLAN TO BACK IT UP.
AND THE PROFESSIONAL THAT I HAD THAT WAS THE BEST AT IT WAS A PROFESSOR HANDS-OFF WHO, WHEN A STEEL COMPANY WANTED TO GO INTO FINANCIAL SERVICES, THEY ASKED HIM TO SAY HOW YOU CAN DO IT.
SO HE PUT A PROGRAM TOGETHER, WALKED IN FIRST OVERHEAD.
HE PUT OUT BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN YOU DID OVERHEADS WAS A LETTER OF RESIGNATION FOR THE ENTIRE BOARD.
BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS HE ALWAYS SAID IS YOU HAD TO HAVE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE CAPABLE OF DOING WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO.
THEY WERE GREAT AT RUNNING A STEEL COMPANIES, BUT NOT ONE OF THEM HAD ANY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO RUN A FINANCIAL SERVICES FIRM.
SO HE ASKED THE ENTIRE BOARD TO RESIGN.
WELL, WE MADE A MISTAKE OF ELECTING YOU GUYS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CAPABILITY OF RUNNING A CITY AND YOU CAN'T EVEN HIRE PEOPLE WHO CAN RUN A CITY.
YOU KNOW, WE HIRE, UH, ANOTHER OFFICE PERSON INSTEAD OF A POLICE OFFICER THAT SHOWS YOU WHERE YOUR PRIORITIES ARE AND THE CAPABILITY OF THE PEOPLE YOU WERE HIRING.
I'M GLAD YOU, YOU, YOU LIKE WHAT I'M SAYING WITH YOUR SMILE? NO SENSE.
THAT TELLS ME HOW MUCH IT DOES.
ROBINSON HAPPY NEW YEAR, UH, I'VE LATELY BECOME A COM A FAN OF WILLIE GATES AND TONY FOWCHEE.
UH, PERHAPS THIS UNDEREMPLOYED DUEL WILL, UH, RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN TWO YEARS TO BRING FORTH THEIR EUGENICS AGENDA FRONT AND CENTER.
SO THAT MEDICAL TYRANNY, UH, NOVEL SCIENCE TRANSHUMANISM, AND, AND VACCINE CULT, UH, FEAR-MONGERING CAN COME FORWARD.
UH, THE GLOBALISTS, UH, BECOME THE, THAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BY GASLIGHTING, UH, UH, PROVIDE BIO WEAPONS FOR EVERYONE, UH, EQUALITY WITH NO DISCRIMINATION AND BIG PHARMA IS DESTINED TO SAVE US ALL BOOSTERS FOR EVERYONE EVERY SIX MONTHS FOREVER.
SO I'M, I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW LONG YOU FOLKS ARE GOING TO KEEP THIS, UH, LOCAL EMERGENCY CHARADE UP, UH, WEST COVINA.
HIS MANDATE TONIGHT IS THE BIGGEST THREATS, UH, TO, UH, TO RESIDENTS.
THE ANNUAL FLU SEASON IS UPON US AND HISTORY SHOWS NORMAL SEASONAL FLU DEATHS RATE DEATH RATES RANGE FROM 10 TO 70,000 PER YEAR.
THIS IS ROUTINE NEWS AMERICANS DIE EVERY YEAR, UH, ROUTINELY DUE TO SEASONAL FLU.
UH, THE VOLUNTARY INFORMED CONSENT OF THE EXPERIMENTAL, UH, GUINEA PIG IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
UH, SIMILARLY IT'S OBVIOUS THAT CENSORSHIP, UH, COMPROMISE OF RIGHTS GUARANTEED BY BOTH THE FEDERAL AND STATE CONSTITUTIONS ARE BEING SYSTEMATICALLY TERMINATED.
PLUS PEOPLES REALIZING THERE'S, UH, IMMUNE SYSTEMS ARE BEING HARMED, UH, BY CURRENT POLICY, UH, NEEDS BROADER AWARENESS.
WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING CAN EASILY BE TO BE DETERMINED BY EVERYONE BY READING PUBLIC INFORMATION PROVIDED BY MODERNIST U S PATENT FILE, WHICH AMOUNTS TO A 399 PAGES OF THE DRIEST CHEMICAL SCIENCE THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.
UH, THE WORST OF WHAT, UH, IS, UH, IS HAPPENING IS, UH, THE GASLIGHTING IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
FEAR-MONGERING, UH, THIS IS NO LONGER ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH.
IT'S ABOUT POWER AND CONTROL AND JUSTICE WILL INEVITABLY PREVAIL IN THE LONG RUN.
IF WE INVESTIGATE WHAT'S GOING ON TO THAT END, I'LL FINISH BY RECITING SOME PROVISIONS
[00:20:01]
OF THE, UH, UH, OF THE, UH, NUREMBERG CODE, UH, UH, THE FIRST, UH, UH, THAT WAS A, A JUDICIAL CASE FORMED IN 1948.UH, VOLUNTARY, INFORMED CONSENT IS, IS ESSENTIAL.
UH, ANY ELEMENTS OF FORCE FRAUD IS THROUGH ROBINSON.
THANK YOU TO BE CONTINUED NEXT TIME.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS.
UM, ASSISTANT CITY CLERK, DO WE HAVE ANY MORE SPEAKER CARDS? WE HAVE NO MORE SPEAKER CARDS MAYOR.
AND OUR CITY MANAGER, DAVID CARMONEY WAS NOT FEELING WELL TODAY.
SO OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER PAULINA MIRALIS WILL RESPOND.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND TO? I'M TRYING TO GO, MY MIC IS ON, SORRY.
MAYOR AND FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS.
UH, I WILL BE STEPPING IN FOR YOUR PHONES OFF AGAIN.
SO I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANYTHING I NEEDED TO RESPOND TO THE COMMENTS THIS EVENING.
UM, MS. DID HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT AN AGENDA ITEM THAT I BELIEVE WILL BE DISCUSSED THIS EVENING.
AND I WANTED TO THANK DOCTORS OR MRS. SANG FOR PROVIDING AN UPDATE ON THE LIBRARY SERVICES.
WE HAD A COUPLE OF SPEAKERS WHO MENTIONED LHASA, AND ALTHOUGH WE DON'T AGREE ON ALL TOPICS, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS ONE OF MY GOALS.
I AGREE THAT LASA HAS FAILED US.
THEY WERE FUNDED BY COUNT THE COUNTY BY MEASURE H UH, I ACTUALLY EVEN HAVE VIDEO AND PICTURES ON MY PHONE OF A LASA WORKER SLEEPING.
APPARENTLY WHILE I'M, O'CLOCK, I'LL FIND A WAY TO ADDRESS THAT ON MY OWN, UH, ANOTHER DAY.
UM, AND AS OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, PAULINA, MIRALIS MENTIONED IN RESPONSE TO, UH, SOME OF THESE ITEMS IN THE CONSENT CALENDAR, WE WILL CONSIDER LABELING THEM DEPARTMENTAL MATTERS IN THE FUTURE.
ALTHOUGH, UH, I THINK PULLING THEM IS ALSO EFFECTIVE, BUT YOUR POINT IS TAKEN, UH, LET'S SEE HERE.
SO MOVING ON TO CONSENT CALENDAR, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO PULL MAYOR PRO TEM DIAZ? UM, EXCUSE ME, IF
[CITY MANAGER'S REPORT]
I CAN, THROUGH THE CHAIR OR CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.I SKIPPED OVER THAT CITY MANAGER'S REPORT, PLEASE.
UM, SO TONIGHT WE WANTED TO START OFF, START OFF AND WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY 2020, WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR THIS YEAR.
I KNOW IT'S STARTING OFF A LITTLE BIT, NOT TOO HEALTHY, SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE STAYS HEALTHY, UM, THROUGHOUT THIS PANDEMIC.
UM, SECONDLY, BECAUSE OF THE SURGE THAT'S GOING ON WITH AMNA CROWN, WE WILL REMAIN OPEN AT CITY HALL.
UM, WE ARE JUST GOING TO, UH, IMPLEMENT SOME NEW PROCEDURES TO PROTECT OUR STAFF AND PROTECT OUR RESIDENTS WHEN VISITING, UM, WE ARE GOING TO BE CHECKING IN EVERYONE AT THE BASEMENT LEVEL.
UM, YOU WILL BE CHECKED IN, YOU CAN GO TO ANY DEPARTMENT.
UM, AND THEN WE ASK THAT YOU EXIT THROUGH THE BASEMENT LEVEL.
UM, WE ARE GOING TO BE CLOSING OUR, UM, FIRE STATIONS TO THE AS WELL.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ALL SERVICES THOUGH.
UM, NEXT IS, UH, OR TREE RECYCLING.
SO, UM, AS YOU'RE GETTING RID OF YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE, PLEASE MAKE SURE, UM, TO PUT IT ON THE CURB ON THE DAY THAT YOUR REGULAR TRASH PICKUP IS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UM, YOU CAN GO TO ATHENS, UH, SERVICES.COM FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR TREE.
UM, WITH, UH, THE SURGE GOING ON WEST COVINA HAS AND CONTINUES TO PROVIDE A TESTING SITE HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR OUR RESIDENTS.
UM, IT'S AT THE SENIOR CENTER AND WE, UM, UH, WE'RE ABLE TO EXPAND, UM, TO INCLUDE SUNDAY TESTING ON SUNDAYS.
SO IT'S TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, 10:00 AM TO 6:00 PM.
UH, APPOINTMENTS ARE, UH, PREFERRED, BUT THEY DO TAKE WALK-INS AND THEN YOU CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE FULL G UH, GENETICS.COM FOR, UM, TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
OR YOU CAN GO THROUGH OUR CITY WEBSITE.
SO TUESDAY TO SUNDAY, CORRECT.
ONLY MONDAY DO NOT HAVE, SO WE CAN TELL THE PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE BEEN A LOT OF INQUIRY REGARDING THIS.
SO, SO BASICALLY IT WOULD BE TUESDAY TO SUNDAY, ONLY MONDAY OFF FROM 10 TO SIX, CORRECT.
[00:25:01]
IS WE HAVE A COMMISSIONER VACANCY.UM, WE HAVE A VACANCY IN THE COMMUNITY AND SENIOR SERVICES COMMISSION THAT COMMISSION MEETS AND THEY GO OVER DECISIONS THAT IMPACT RECREATIONAL SERVICES, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
SO WE'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE ANYONE THAT'S ONCE THEY GET MORE INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY AND HELP MAKE SOME DECISIONS TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY, UH, TO, UH, REACH OUT THROUGH OUR WEBSITE OR THROUGH OUR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT AND APPLY.
UM, THEY DO MEET, I THINK, ON THE ODD MONTHS.
UM, SO ON THE SECOND TUESDAY AT 6:00 PM, AND THERE IS A COMPENSATION FOR ATTENDING THOSE MEETINGS.
SO IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, UM, PLEASE REACH OUT TO HR OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND THAT'S IT.
GO BACK TO THE TESTING FOUND CORTEZ PARKING LOT.
THE RESIDENT NEEDS TO USE THE INSURANCE CARDS ARE FREE.
AND HOW LONG IS TAKE TWO? IT SAYS SPEEDY TEST, OR THIS IS A PRC TEST OR SOMETHING TO TAKE ABOUT A COUPLE OF DAYS.
SO WHAT IS THE TIMELINE? IF THE FIRST IS WHAT THE COST, SECOND THING IS ALWAYS TAKE TO GET A RESULT.
SO IT'S, UH, THERE IS NO COST.
UM, I KNOW THAT WHEN I'VE USED THAT SERVICE, IT WAS A TWO DAY TURNAROUND.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S STILL THE SAME WITH THE AMOUNT OF THE INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR TESTING, BUT IT HAS BEEN A QUICK TURNAROUND USING THAT SERVICE THROUGH FULL GENT.
AND I'M NOT SURE AS TO WHICH TESTS THEY'RE DOING SPECIFIC UCR.
AND I THINK PCR, SORRY, PCR TEST FOR TWO DAYS AND RESOLVED.
CAN WE POST THIS ON ALL CT WEBSITES OR I BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY ON OUR WEBSITE, BUT WE CAN DO A SOCIAL MEDIA PUSH THIS WEEK.
OUR RESUME TODAY, I WENT TO MY OFFICE.
GABRIEL AIRPORT AND THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
I HAVEN'T SEEN A LONG LINE OF CAR WAITING.
SO, SO POSSIBLE THE SURGE AGAIN.
AND A LOT OF WELLS DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE SOME PC MIND THIS AND THAT.
IT'S PUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA SO OUR RESIDENT CAN HAVE A RESULT TO USE THIS.
AND I HAVE TRIED THAT AND THEY GAVE IT AS EARLY AS THE NEXT DAY, BUT OF COURSE YOU ARE CORRECT.
DID WE DO TO THE COVID INCREASE? UM, DIDN'T THE CITY INCREASE THE TESTING CAPACITY AT DIFFERENT AREAS AS WELL.
SO I SPOKE TO THE PEOPLE LEADING THAT PLACE SUNDAY, SUNDAY WAS RECENTLY NOT AVAILABLE.
THEY ADDED 10 SUNDAY AS AN ADDITIONAL DAY OF CAPACITY.
LIKE ONE WEEK AGO, SUNDAYS WERE NOT PART OF THE SCHEDULE.
SO IT WAS A TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE IT.
BUT THAT IS THE ONLY TESTING SITE THAT WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH TO BRING INTO THE COMMUNITY.
SO IT'S THAT ONE DAY INCREASED WITH THIS SITE? NO OTHER, THERE ARE NO OTHER LOCATIONS OR, OR LIKE, UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T PROVIDE MONDAY.
WE ARE TRYING TO WORK AND EXPAND THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
I THINK I REMEMBER PEOPLE, WE HAVE A CAMERON PARK, THEY HAVE A TESTING CENTER, BUT DUE TO LEGO FOR USAGE AND THEY HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO BE REMOVED, BUT THEY'RE COMING BACK.
SO I KNOW THAT WE LIKE, UM, MAYOR, BECAUSE STAN HAS MENTIONED, WE DID REACH OUT TO THE, UM, TO THEM AND TRY TO INCREASE, UH, OUR TESTING SITES AND OPPORTUNITIES SO WE CAN REACH OUT TO THEM AND SEE, WE CAN BRING BACK ASIDE AT CAMERON, IS THAT NOT ONLY IN OUR CITY, BUT IN THE WHOLE COUNTY, THEIR BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS LABOR.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL? OKAY.
[CONSENT CALENDAR]
SEEING NONE.NOW, NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO CONTENT CALENDAR.
AND I THINK I HAVE A MAYOR PRO TEM DIAZ, READY TO ADD SOME ITEMS TO THANK YOU, MAYOR.
STANOS I'D LIKE TO PULL, UM, ALL OF THE, UH, NEW POSITIONS.
I'D LIKE THE STAFF TO, UM, GIVE AN EXPLANATION ABOUT THEM.
AND, UM, I WANT TO KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IN OUR BUDGET THAT WE CAN AFFORD.
UM, SO IF WE CAN HAVE SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THAT TO US, THAT WOULD BE 2, 3, 4, 5 AND SIX.
AND ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, WHO, WHO WOULD BE AND READY TO SPEAK ABOUT IT THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE CHAIR? CAN WE GET A VOTE ON THE ITEM NUMBER ONE? OH, YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
UH, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND ONE.
I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR KOSTELANETZ WITH A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER.
[00:30:01]
COUNCILMAN WILL COUNCILWOMAN LOPEZ.EVERYONE PASSES FIVE, ZERO, AND MOVING ON
[Items 2 - 6]
TO TWO THROUGH SIX.UM, SO THE ITEM BEFORE THESE ITEMS, BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, UM, TWO, SIX, UH, THE REQUESTS ARE NECESSARY TO HELP, UH, TO HELP ENSURE CONTINUED SERVICES TO OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR STAFF, THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT REFLECT CHANGES THAT ARE CRITICAL TO HELP ATTRACT CANDIDATES TO WEST COVINA ALLOWS DEPARTMENTS, DIVISIONS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF VACANCIES, UM, AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESTRUCTURE THE DEPARTMENTS TO PROVIDE MORE EFFICIENT SERVICES, UM, AND LAY OUT, UH, SUCCESSION PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.
UH, IT ALLOWS THEM TO UPDATE JOB DUTIES AND QUALIFICATIONS TO CURRENT POSITIONS THAT ARE MUCH NEEDED AND TO CREATE POSITIONS THAT ENSURE NO GAP OF SERVICES.
UM, ALL OF THE POSITIONS ARE NOT BEING REQUESTED TO BE FILLED.
SOME ARE, UM, JOB DESCRIPTION UPDATES THAT ARE PART OF A SERIES FOR A DEPARTMENT AS WE ARE RESTRUCTURING THROUGH THIS PROCESS THIS EVENING.
UM, SO I WILL START WITH THE POSITIONS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
UM, SO THE CITY OF WEST COVINA HAS STAFFED IT'S FORENSIC SPECIALIST POSITION WITH A SWORN OFFICER WHILE THERE IS INVESTIGATIVE BENEFITS TO THIS APPROACH, THE TURNOVER RATE, AS WELL AS THE SHORTAGES OF SWORN OFFICER PERSONNEL IS THE REASON STAFF IS RECOMMENDING TO CONVERT THIS INTO A CIVILIAN POSITION, UM, WHICH WOULD ALSO INCLUDE A COST SAVINGS BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT BE AS COSTLY AS A SWORN OFFICER.
IN ADDITION, THE RECORDS BUREAU HAS MANAGED ON, UM, HAS BEEN MANAGED ON A ROTATIONAL ASSIGNMENT BETWEEN TWO SWORN OFFICERS SINCE THE RECORDS SUPERVISOR LEFT IN 2020.
UM, THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS WILL ALSO MAKE THE RECORDS POSITIONS, A CIVILIAN POSITION.
UM, THE PROPOSED CHANGE WILL PROVIDE PROPER MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT AND CONSISTENCY IN SUPERVISION FOR THE BUREAU WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE A ROTATIONAL SUPERVISORS, UM, FOR THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND RISK MANAGEMENT.
UM, THEIR DEPARTMENT, UH, IS NOW DOWN FROM FOUR TO TWO, THEY'VE HAD TWO, UH, TWO STAFF MEMBERS THAT HAVE LEFT.
AND SO THEY'RE TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO RESTRUCTURE THE DEPARTMENT.
UM, AND, UH, THEY'RE ASKING FOR JOB DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE SERIES IN THE, UH, HR AND RISK MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT.
UM, IT'S GOING TO BETTER REFLECT THE DUTIES AND QUALIFICATIONS, UH, REQUIRED IN HR.
AND IT ALSO IS PREPARING A SUCCESSION PLAN FOR, UM, THAT OF THE FOUR POSITIONS IN HR.
LIKE I SAID, WE'RE UPDATING ALL OF THE POSITIONS.
UM, THEY WILL REMAIN WITH AN HR DIRECTOR AND HR MANAGER AND HR ANALYST AND AN HR TECHNICIAN.
UM, THE SENIOR HR TECHNICIAN WILL BE REFLECTED IN THE FISCAL BUDGET, 22, 23, UM, FINANCE.
SO FINANCE HAS HAD GREAT DIFFICULTY IN, UH, HIRING A PAYROLL SPECIALIST.
UM, THEY'VE GONE THROUGH TWO FAILED HIRES AND, UM, THROUGH AN ACCOUNTING TECHNICIAN AND ACCOUNTANT.
AND SO IN ORDER TO BETTER APPEAL TO A CANDIDATE SPECIFICALLY FOR PAYROLL, THEY WANT TO CREATE THIS JOB DESCRIPTION FOR PAYROLL SPECIALIST.
UM, AND AS SEEN HERE, THE PAYROLL SPECIALIST WILL BE BUDGETED, UM, UNDER BUDGETED AS THE ACCOUNT POSITION.
SO THERE'LL BE A COST SAVINGS THERE.
UM, IN OCTOBER OF 2018 DUE TO BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS, THE CITY REORGANIZED SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS.
THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT WAS ESTABLISHED WITH PLANNING COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BUILDING ENGINEERING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT.
THE PUBLIC SERVICES WAS ESTABLISHED COMBINING COMMUNITY SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE.
THE JOB DESCRIPTION FOR PUBLIC SERVICES DIRECTOR WAS NEVER UPDATED TO REFLECT THIS REORGANIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT.
AND AS WE ARE UPDATING THE DIRECTOR DESCRIPTION, UM, STAFF IS ALSO RECOMMENDING THE APPROVAL OF THE PUBLIC, UM, SERVICES MANAGEMENT SERIES, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THE CREATION OF THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES.
SO OUT OF ALL THOSE POSITIONS, THESE ARE THE FOUR THAT WE WILL BE FILLING AND THEY ARE, IS EXPECTED, NO BUDGETARY IMPACT TO THE, THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR'S BUDGET.
UM, ANY OTHER POSITIONS AS THEY ARE REQUESTED TO BE FILLED WOULD HAVE TO EITHER GO THROUGH, UH, BE INCLUDED IN THE FUTURE BUDGET OR GO THROUGH A BUDGET AMENDMENT.
UH, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS MYSELF OR, UH, STAFF CAN ANSWER, OKAY, SO HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THAT THERE WILL BE NO BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED WITH THIS, WITH THE FOUR THAT ARE ON THIS LAST, OH, THE LAST PAGE, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A ZERO
[00:35:01]
IMPACT OR TO THE BUDGET.ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCILMAN? AND ON THE PUBLIC WALK OUTSIDE, REMEMBER WE HAVE A CHIN CHINO.
AS A PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, I WENT TO A COUPLE OF THEM.
THEY ONLY LAST LIKE ONE YEAR, TWO YEAR AND THEN THE GUN.
SO I THINK WE ALREADY HAVE LEFT POSITION.
BUT WHEN THE THING, WE HAVE A DEPUTY PROBABLY WORK OKAY.
AND THE, BUT CLEARLY I KNOW WE HAVE A PUBLIC WORK DIRECTOR.
BUT WHEN THE DEPARTMENTS WAS REORGANIZED, THE DUTIES CHANGED 2018.
WHEN THEY LAY OFF 22 PEOPLE AND THEY, WE STRUCTURE EVERYTHING.
AND I REMEMBER DAVID STRUCTURE.
I DO SO APPROVAL AT TIME, BUT, BUT I DO REMEMBER THIS DEAL, KEEP THE PUBLIC WORK DIRECTOR.
NOW WE DON'T HAVE LEAD THAT THEY ELIMINATE.
SO WE DO HAVE A PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND I'LL DOUBLE CHECK ON THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR.
BUT, UM, WHAT HAPPENED IS IT WAS A PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.
WE NOW HAVE A PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
SO BEFORE PUBLIC WORKS INCLUDED BUILDING, UH, ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE NOW, UM, SO BUILDING AND ENGINEERING ARE WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
AND THEN, THEN, THEN WHAT THE CHINO POSITION WAS.
BECAUSE HE WAS A PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.
I KNOW THIS IS WHY I REMEMBER, AND NOW WE WANT TO BRING THIS JOB BACK.
UM, SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE ARE BRINGING IT BACK WITHIN THE CURRENT STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE NOW.
SO RIGHT NOW PUBLIC SERVICES INCLUDES MAINTENANCE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES.
SO, SO, SO, BUT W WE ELIMINATE THAT POSITION IN 2018.
I REMEMBER, I DON'T THINK WE ELIMINATED AND WE STILL HAVE, UH, THE JOB DESCRIPTION ON OUR WEBSITE AND WE STILL HAVE A SALARY RANGE.
THE DUTIES, THE POINT IS THEN WE SHOULDN'T HAVE A OKAY.
UNDER OUR BUDGET, SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE LEFT POSITION, WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE A, WE DIDN'T FEEL THAT, OKAY.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY CANDIDATE TO FILL IT UP ON THEIR POSITION.
AM I RIGHT? OR I DON'T THINK IT WAS CURRENT BUDGET IN THE CURRENT, THEY DIDN'T BUDGET.
BUT SINCE WE HAVE THIS JOB DESCRIPTION, WE JUST HAVE BACON.
SO WE SHOULD HAVE A BUDGET WITH THIS STAFFING.
BUT WHEN WE DON'T HAVE A STEP, DOESN'T MEAN WE DIDN'T BUDGET.
SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE A JOB DESCRIPTION.
WE HAVE A LOT OF JOB DESCRIPTION.
WE HAVE NO PEOPLE, PEOPLE QUIT, BUT THE JUMPS DAY, WE JUST DIDN'T FILL IT UP.
SO MY POINT IS WE SHOULD HAVE A BUDGET WE NEED WHEN ROBIN BACK WHERE'S ROBIN, IF STEPHANIE, COULD YOU CALL, CAN YOU CALL ROBIN? OKAY.
NOW, STEPHANIE, WOULD YOU PLEASE, UH, POSITION, THANK YOU.
WOULD YOU HAVE A PUBLIC WORKS POSITION THAT WAS BUDGETED? THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS POSITION IS DIFFERENT THAN THE PUBLIC WORKS POSITION.
THAT MIRROR IS CURRENTLY FILLING.
MALE IS THE PART-TIME IS A CONSULTANT.
RIGHT NOW WE TALKING ABOUT A FULL TIME WHILE WE HAD BEFORE, AND THAT WE HAVE A CHINO, WE HAVE A JEREMY OVER HERE, WE HAVE A TWO OR THREE.
I WENT THROUGH IT AND OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF CT CLEANERS.
MAINTENANCE AND EVEN GET GRANTED SOMETHING THAT LOOKED LIKE A FULL BLOWN, PRETTY HEAVY DUTY JOB.
AND NOW MIA, MY UNDERSTANDING, HE JUST TODAY, NOW CTO IS A PART-TIME.
AND HE'S PART-TIME ON THAT CONSULTANT WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR POSITION.
SO WHATEVER MOVES FORWARD WITH THIS, HOWEVER, THEY PHASE IN A PUBLIC SERVICE DIRECTOR COULD POSSIBLY ABSORB THE VACANCY SAVINGS.
SO, SO IF WE, IF WE APPROVE THIS TWO, TWO, WE WILL HAVE AN IMPACT OUR 21.
WELL, MY UNDERSTANDING WAS WITH THIS ITEM, THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY ASKING TO FILL THE POSITION IF, IF IT'S CREATE A POSITION.
SO BASICALLY WE, TODAY WE JUST CREATE A POSITION.
AND THEN WE WILL SEE ALL BUDGET ON THE 20, 21, 22.
IT WILL BE BASICALLY WE WILL SEE THE IMPACT OF OUR BUDGET, CORRECT.
SO ACTUALLY, AND DECIDE TO FILL.
SO IF I COULD TURN TO THE LAST PAGE ON THE LAST SLIDE, THESE ARE THE FOUR POSITIONS THAT ONCE YOU GUYS, IF YOU APPROVE THIS EVENING, WE WERE GOING TO START RECRUITING TOMORROW.
UM, LIKE, SO EITHER THE, TO RECRUIT PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, BUT YEAH.
BUT HOPEFULLY WITH THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND
[00:40:01]
WITH THESE TITLES, WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO FILL THESE POSITIONS.SO, SO HOW MANY, IF WE TALKING ABOUT 21, 22 BUDGET, THE CURRENT BUDGET, CORRECT.
AND THEN, THEN IF WE APPROVE THIS OR HOW MANY POSITION WOULD BE OKAY.
IMPACTED TO OUR BUDGET FOR WELL-BEINGS FOR ALREADY BUDGETED.
SO THEY'RE VACANT, LIKE THE PAYROLL SPECIALIST IS AN ACCOUNTANT POSITION THAT'S CURRENTLY VACANT.
UM, THE HR MANAGER WOULD BE A VACANT POSITION.
THAT'S CURRENTLY GOING TO BE ABSORBED THROUGH VACANCY SAVINGS.
AND THEN SAME WITH THE POLICE OFFICER POSITIONS AS WELL.
THE RECORD RESTRUCTURES, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TOO MUCH IMPACT TO OUR APPROVED BUDGET BECAUSE WE HIRE 10, 10, 10.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE MENTIONED INSTEAD CONSERVATIVE SPENDING.
I KNOW WE HAVE SOME KIND OF SOAP LAWS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE WANT TO MAKE SURE, OKAY, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE IMPACT ON OUR BUDGET BY ALL THIS POSITION? SOME OF IT IN SENECA NEW POSITION.
SO THE FOUR THAT WE CAN GO TO RECRUIT TOMORROW, IF APPROVED WILL HAVE NO IMPACT TO THE BUDGETARY IMPACT TO THE FISCAL, TO THIS CURRENT FISCAL BUDGET.
I SAY THAT AGAIN, I'M KIND OF CONFUSED.
SO, SO IT'S SOUND LIKE WE DON'T HAVE THE TOO MUCH IMPACT ON WILDLIFE AND WE DON'T HAVE IMPACT FROM THE FOUR THAT ARE, WE'RE LOOKING TO ACTUALLY RECRUIT AND HIRE.
WE HA WE WANT THE HIGHER RIGHT NOW.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY IMPACT, BUT THE NEW POSITION WE CREATE WILL BE A NEXT PHYSICAL, OKAY.
THEN WE WILL BASE ON HOW OUR INCOME THIS YEAR.
AND WE WILL SEE EITHER THROUGH A BUDGET AMENDMENT OR THROUGH THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE.
AND THE ENDED, SO THE WD PUBLIC WORK THAT WE'LL BE INCLUDING IN THIS NEW PHYSICAL YEAR OR THE CURRENT PHYSICAL YEAR, WE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK FOR A BUDGET AMENDMENT OR THERE WILL BE A BUDGET AMENDMENT.
I GIVE TO SOME OTHER COUNCIL MY TIME.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? OKAY.
DID YOU GUYS NOT UNDERSTAND? OKAY.
I THINK POLICE WANTS TO ADD A COUPLE OF THINGS, UM, FROM OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE ITEM THAT'S ON THE AGENDA TODAY, LET'S GET SOME INPUT, A LITTLE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
YOU WANT TO GET TO COME UP HERE AND SPEAK TO YOU VERY OFTEN.
I JUST WANTED TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT FIRST WITH ITEM NUMBER TWO, THE FORENSIC SPECIALIST SUPERVISOR THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO FILL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
UH, THE HISTORY OF WEST COVINA, WE'VE ALWAYS USED A SWORN MEMBER OF OUR DEPARTMENT AS A DETECTIVE, THAT SOMEONE THAT HAD THE ABILITY TO, UH, ANALYZE FINGERPRINTS AND WEST COVINA WAY BACK IN THE SEVENTIES WAS THE LEADER IN ANALYZING FINGERPRINTS AND IDENTIFYING SUSPECTS WHEN THEY LEAVE THEIR FINGERPRINTS AND CRIME SCENES.
AND THEY WERE COURT RECOGNIZED EXPERTS.
AND WE DID THAT, UH, AS A SMALL AGENCY WHERE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WOULD NORMALLY DO THAT.
AND IN THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO ALL LOCAL AGENCIES DOING THE SAME THING, RUNNING THEIR FINGERPRINTS.
AND WHAT THAT DID IS IT INCREASED THE TIME WHERE WE CAN IDENTIFY SUSPECTS AND GET THEM ARRESTED.
AND OFF THE STREET QUICKER BECAUSE OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, FINGERPRINT, UH, TECHNICIANS ARE BACKED UP AND IT'S STILL THAT WAY TODAY WE'RE CONFRONTED WITH, UH, A PERSON THAT'S CURRENTLY ASSIGNED TO THAT POSITION IS A VERY HIGH PROBABILITY NOT GOING TO BE WITH US MUCH LONGER.
AND WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO REPLACE HIM.
AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS PRUDENT TO JOIN WHAT THE INDUSTRY NORMALLY DOES.
AND THAT'S USE A CIVILIAN THAT IS PARTICULARLY TRAINED IN CRIME SCENE MANAGEMENT AND FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF FINGERPRINTS THAT, UH, IT'S A SPECIALTY THAT TAKES A LOT OF TRAINING.
AND IF, UH, IF WE CAN'T GET THAT PERSON AND WE LOSE THE OTHER PERSON, WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A POSITION WHERE WE COULD, YOU KNOW, EVENTUALLY LACK SOME EFFICIENCY IN IDENTIFYING SOME OF THE FINGERPRINTS.
AND WE WOULD BE A BIT CHALLENGED WITH SOME OF THE CRIME SCENE COLLECTION OF EVIDENCE WHEN WE'RE OUT ON CRIME SCENES.
AND THAT, THAT POSITION'S GOING TO REPLACE A POLICE CORPORAL, WHICH HAS A HIGHER SALARY THAN THE CIVILIAN WOULD.
AND I DO BELIEVE BEING THE LEADER OF OUR DETECTIVES AND THIS POSITION IN PARTICULAR.
UH, I DO BELIEVE WE CAN ACTUALLY GET, UM, A CIVILIAN AT THE RATE, THE SALARY RATE BEING PROPOSED THAT CAN PROVIDE AN OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO THE, TO THE RESIDENTS OF WEST COVINA, UH, AND IN THE FUTURE.
[00:45:01]
UH, THE REASON WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE TWO POSITIONS THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO FILL RIGHT NOW, BUT WE WILL MAYBE PROPOSE IN THE FUTURE AND FUTURE BUDGET BUDGETS IS THERE'S A SUCCESSION PLAN.SO THERE'LL BE A FORENSIC SPECIALIST, A SENIOR SPECIALIST, AND THEN AN ENTRY LEVEL.
AND WHAT THAT DOES IS IT NOT ONLY CREATES A SUCCESSION PLAN FOR WHEN THE SUPERVISOR LEAVES.
WE HAVE SOMEONE TO BUMP UP WITHOUT, UH, A TIME-LAPSE OR A PRO UH, AN INTERRUPTION IN SERVICE.
IT ALSO PRESENTS US, UH, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE THREE PEOPLE OUT AT CRIME SCENES, COLLECTING EVIDENCE, WHICH INCREASES THE TIME IT TAKES IS I THINK AS YOU KNOW, AND EVEN AS RECENTLY, UH, IT TAKES A LONG TIME ON SOME OF THESE CRIME SCENES TO BE OUT THERE.
AND, AND THE LONGER IT TAKES, THE LONGER THE STREETS ARE SHUT DOWN.
THE LONGER THE BUSINESSES ARE SHUT DOWN.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.
THERE ARE THOSE TWO, TWO SPOTS.
AND I APPLAUD THE INNOVATIVE NATURE OF THINKING FORWARD AND, UH, LOOKING AT OPTIONS, GIVEN THE CHALLENGES OF HIRING.
UM, SO CHIEF, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD, AND I JUST I'LL ADD ONE THING THAT POSITION DOES CREATE REVENUE FOR THE CITY.
OH, IS WE HAVE CONTRACTS WITH EIGHT OR NINE OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENTS, AND THEY PAY US TO, UH, RUN THEIR FINGERPRINTS.
I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT THAT'S AND OF COURSE, GO AHEAD, COUNCILMAN.
WE CURRENTLY DO MAKE MONEY, THEN WE SHOULD, WE SHOULD, WE COULD THEN RIGHT AWAY, WE CURRENTLY HAVE HOW MANY WE NEED, HOW MANY WE NEED.
WE WILL BE RECRUITING ALL WEEK.
WE ARE RECRUITING WHY NOW? UH, AS SOON AS WE VOTE FOR THIS POSITION AND I CAN GO, WE CAN, UH, THE, I THINK THEY HAVE A SCHOOL FOR LETTERHEAD AND CIS CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.
MOST OF THEM HAVE BACHELOR'S DEGREES AND I'LL WATCH THEM.
THE TVS SHOW FOR LED FORENSIC INVESTIGATIONS, SOMETHING CORRECT? YEAH, THEY THEY'RE, THEY'RE VERY, WELL-EDUCATED WHERE IN, BEFORE WE WOULD TAKE A SWORN OFFICER AND TRAIN THEM, IT WOULD TAKE A YEAR TO, TO, TO TRAIN HIM OR HER TO DO THAT JOB.
SO NOW WE HAVE ONE, WE HAVE A, WE SERVICE FINGERPRINTS FOR ALL AMBER PD, AZUSA PD, BALDWIN PARK, PD, COVINA PD, AMANI PD, GLENDORA PD, THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, DIAMOND MAR STATION BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THEIR FINGERPRINTS FAST ENOUGH THROUGH THEIR OWN AGENCY AND MONROVIA PD.
AND WE ALSO HELP OUT DMV, CHP BALL AND PARK AND THE AUTO THEFT TASK FORCE OUT OF THE COUNTY.
SO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU WANT TO PULL UP YOUR TEAM FOR EXEC TEAMS SO WE CAN SERVE AS ALL THE CT SO WE CAN KIND OF HELP THEM WHEN WE HAVE DOWNTIME.
PROBABLY WE DON'T USE THEM ALL THE TIME DUE TO THIS CRIME QUEEN SCENE SO WE CAN HELP MAYBE ALL THE CITIES SO WE CAN GET PAID.
SO OUR GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A SERVICE, UH, TO, FOR THE CITIES AND MAKE REVENUE TO, TO PAY FOR A PORTION OR AT SOME POINT, ALL OF THAT 3% OF THIS TEAM, RIGHT? ENTRY, MEDIAN, AND THE SUPERVISOR.
UM, IT TAKES TWO TO IDENTIFY FINGERPRINTS, UH, WHEN, WHEN THE LEAD PERSON IDENTIFIES SOMEONE BY RIDGES AND THE FINGERPRINTS THAT TAKES A SECOND PERSON TO VERIFY IT RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE SOMEONE PAID BY THE HOUR, UH, TO DO THAT FOR US.
A LOT OF TIMES THEY NEED A LAB TO DO THE, WE HAVE A LAB IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO RUN THE LAB TO DO OKAY.
I'M OVERFLOWING REVENUE GENERATION.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE MONEY.
I'D LOVE TO COME DOWN AND SHOW YOU GUYS WHAT THEY DO.
I THINK WE, A BIG P A GOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT WOULD PICK CT.
AND WE COULD START SHARING PEOPLE THAT WERE CATCHING OFF OF THESE IDENTIFICATIONS TOO.
I THINK, I THINK THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT MORE.
W THAT'S A LOT OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WE CAN KIND OF HELP OUT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS SAFE.
AND THEN WE BILL ALL GOOD TEAM AND THE NOT ONLY WE SPEND THE MONEY, WE CAN MAKE THE MONEY BACK BY MUTUAL.
I THINK CHIEF WANTS TO SPEAK ON THE RECORD'S POSITION.
COUNCIL CITIZENS, WESTERN MENA.
UH, MY NAME IS CHIEF RICHARD BELL.
UM, I WANTED TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE RECORDS MANAGERS POSITION.
UM, MOST OF THE TIME, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, YOU THINK ABOUT THE UNIFORM, BUT WE HAVE, UM, NON-SWORN PERSONNEL BEHIND THE SCENES THAT ARE JUST AS VALUABLE AS OUR MEN AND WOMEN ARE, THAT ARE ON THE STREET.
UH, ONE SUCH PERSON WE LOST THIS YEAR, LONG TIME RECORD SUPERVISOR.
UH, SHE TOOK ANOTHER POSITION, UH, FOR QUITE A BIT MORE, MORE MONEY.
SHE WAS DOING A MANAGER'S JOB AT A SUPERVISOR'S LEVEL.
UM, WHEN I SPOKE WITH HER AS SHE WAS LEAVING, UM, YOU KNOW, SHE BASICALLY SAID, I IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY.
UM, I WOULD SAY THAT WHEN THAT HAPPENED, WE WERE NOT IN A POSITION TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
[00:50:01]
UM, HOWEVER, UH, WHEN SHE LEFT, THE POSITION IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE DEAL WITH SO MUCH DEAL J UH, PAPERWORK.UM, THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS, UH, PRA REQUIREMENTS.
THERE ARE TIMELINES AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT TEND TO GET POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN TROUBLE.
WHEN YOU DON'T MEET THOSE TIMELINES, THE POSITION IS VERY IMPORTANT.
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR OUR DETECTIVES.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR CASE MANAGEMENT, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT THE NORMAL PUBLIC DOES NOT.
SO AS WE STARTED TO ANALYZE THE POSITION, WE REALIZED THAT IT'S UNDERPAID.
WE FLEW THE POSITION ANYWAY, AND WE GOT SEVERAL ENTRIES BACK, BUT NO ONE WAS QUALIFIED.
AND SO AS WE STARTED TO MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS, TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE FIT THEIR POSITION, WE REALIZED THAT'S NOT THE PROPER WAY TO DO IT.
WE NEED TO FIND SOMEONE THAT'S QUALIFIED.
SO WE MADE THE MANAGER'S POSITION, WHICH WILL BUMP THE SALARY UP JUST A LITTLE BIT.
BUT IN DOING THAT, WE EXPECT TO GET A HIGHLY QUALIFIED PERSON THAT CAN COME IN AND TAKE OVER THAT POSITION.
NOW, JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN USING A LIEUTENANT IN THAT POSITION, WHICH OBVIOUSLY MAKES IT A LOT MORE IN THAT ROLE.
BUT, UM, WHENEVER WE HAVE TO REMOVE AN OFFICER FROM A POSITION AND PUT THEM IN A POSITION LIKE THAT, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY TAKING SOME THINGS AWAY FROM OUR CITIZENS, WHICH WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO RESTRUCTURE AND BUILD.
AND SO BY MAKING THIS A SUPERVISOR MANAGER'S POSITION AND GETTING THE PROPER PERSON IN THERE, THAT'S GOING TO HELP US REBUILD.
AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE SUPERVISOR'S POSITION.
HOWEVER, WE'RE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE CYCLE AND PRESENT THAT TO SEE IF IT'S FEASIBLE TO ACTUALLY HIRE THAT ONE.
BUT WE NEED THE RECORDS MANAGER IN THERE TO PROPERLY RUN THAT DEPARTMENT.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THAT POSITION.
COUNCILMAN WU, HOW MANY STAFF YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW ON THE, ON THIS NON-SWORN OKAY.
UM, I WANNA SAY THERE'S PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW, IS THERE LIKE 11 OR 12 OF THEM? THEY, THEY DAMAGED SHIFTS AND, AND, BUT, BUT THE, UH, QUALIFICATIONS AT WHICH, UH, THEY NEED TO KNOW SOME OF THE, UH, SCHOOLS, THEY NEED TO GO TO SOME OF THOSE THINGS THEY'RE LACKING.
SO YOU NEED A SUPERVISOR IN THERE.
NOT ONLY THAT HAVE THAT SKILLSET, BUT THEN CAN TEACH, CAN TEACH DOWNS.
SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AS MUCH LIKE WE'RE DOING WITH THE FORENSICS IS CREATE A SUCCESSION, RIGHT? WE KEEP THE SUPERVISOR'S POSITION.
WE PUT THE MANAGER IN THERE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR THE MANAGER.
WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THE SUPERVISOR POSITION UNTIL THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE.
BUT THE MANAGER NEEDS TO GET IN THERE, GET FAMILIAR WITH OUR DEPARTMENT AND START RUNNING THAT RIGHT NOW YOU REQUEST CIVILIAN SUPERVISOR TO SUPERVISE 12 STAFF.
SO THE UNION MANAGER, SYLVANIA MANAGER, NOUN, SWARMS STAFF, TO MANAGE, TO TELL, OKAY.
STAB TO DO THE RECORD KEEPING FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND, UH, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU WANT THIS HAPPEN NOW.
NET PHYSICIAN NEEDS TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A SUPPORT PERSON AND PUT THEM BACK IN THERE, WHICH IS WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO.
IT'S ONE OF THE FOUR THAT UCF.
AND I WAS GOING TO SAY, UH, THANK YOU.
UM, THOSE TWO POSITIONS, UH, FORENSIC AND RECORDS ARE TWO HIGHLY, VERY IMPORTANT.
UM, IT KEEPS US LIABILITIES AND EVERYTHING IN TACK.
UM, THE FORENSIC, I THINK A FEW YEARS AGO IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT WITHIN, I DON'T RECALL THE, BUT WE HAD ONE DEPARTMENT THAT WAS A FOREFRONT OF LIKE THE WHOLE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY AREA.
AND, BUT BECAUSE WE WERE DWINDLING AND REMOVING CERTAIN THINGS, WE GOT IT KIND OF DEPLETED.
I'M NOT SURE IT WAS THAT THE FORENSIC OR WAS THAT THE DETECTIVE, UM, UNIT? I WAS JUST CURIOUS.
I'M NOT SURE WHICH, UM, WELL, WELL, POINT OF THE THING IS, UM, I, I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVE TO, I, IT WAS WHEN I, IN DISCUSSION WITH THE POLICE, UM, GETTING THE BACKGROUND AND STUFF, BUT THEY MENTIONED, UM, WHEN ONE DEPARTMENT WITHIN WAS WHERE EVERYBODY WENT AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A FORENSIC CAUSE YOU WERE MENTIONING ALL THE OTHER CITIES GOING TO, UM, OUR DEPARTMENT.
BUT WE, WE DID THE FORENSIC MANY YEARS AGO.
AND THAT WAS ALL THE, WE, WE PUT THE, UM, IT WAS A BASIC POSITION.
WE PUT THEM IN THERE TO BE THAT SECOND VERIFYING PERSON.
BECAUSE WHEN A PRINT IS VERIFIED, YOU GOT TO HAVE A SECOND PERSON, BUT THAT PERSON HAS SINCE RETIRED AS WELL.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK TRAVIS TOUCHED ON IT A LITTLE BIT IS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS LIKE THE FOURTH GO ROUND WHERE WE'VE PUT AN OFFICER IN THERE, THEY'VE GOTTEN THE EXPERTISE.
AND THEN EITHER BY BURNOUT, EITHER BY PROMOTION OR, OR RETIREMENT, WE ENDED UP LOSING, WE HAVE TO START ALL OVER, WHICH IS WHERE WE ARE NOW, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT THE INDUSTRY STANDARDS.
AND WE THINK BY PUTTING A CIVILIAN IN THERE, SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO BE THERE AND IT'S GOING TO STAY, THERE IS THE BEST COURSE OF THAT.
UH, IN REGARDS TO, I KNOW YOU SAID PREPARING, WELL, THIS ONE TO INCLUDE PREPARING THE LAB UPGRADES.
IS THERE A LOT OF UPGRADES THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE THERE,
[00:55:01]
THERE WILL BE SOME UPGRADES IN THE FUTURE.UM, UH, WE'RE NOT IN JEOPARDY OF LOSING OUR LAB.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOW IT TO YOU.
WE'RE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT THE SHERIFFS ARE ABLE TO DO.
UH, EVENTUALLY WE WILL HAVE TO UPGRADE OUR LAB, BUT IT IS NOT, UH, ON THE HORIZON RIGHT NOW.
UM, ESPECIALLY WITH A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON.
I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF THEFT HAPPENING AND, UM, AND I LOVE TO, I'M GRATEFUL TO SEE EVEN THE FLOCK CAMERA SYSTEM BEING USED AT CATCHING MANY OF THE, UH, UM, PEOPLE OUT THERE.
SO, UH, I, I REALLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH OF THESE AND I HOPE WE MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN WU REGARDING, SO WE CREATE A POSITION.
AND THAT, BUT CAN WE PROMOTE THE WELL OF THE TELL PERSON OR WE HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE NOW IN THIS, IN THIS INSTANCE, WE WILL HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE.
I HAD TO GO OUTSIDE TO FIND A PROFESSIONAL, HAVE A MANAGER HAVE MANAGEMENT BECAUSE WE'RE SEEKING SOMEONE WITH, WITH KNOWLEDGE ALREADY.
THAT'S GOING TO COME IN AND WE DON'T HAVE A STAFF.
THEY JUST NEED TO LEARN WEST COVINA, BUT THEY ALREADY COME IN HIGHLY QUALITIES WITH A BACKGROUND, EARS OF EXPERIENCE ABOUT RECORD KEEPING IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO WE NEED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH OUR, OF A SALARIES SO WE CAN RECRUIT, UH, UH, GOOD PEOPLE TO HELP US.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OF OUR CHIEF? THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHIEF.
I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING OUR OKAY.
I THINK OVER HERE, YOU REQUEST A QUOTE, HOW MANY PEOPLE, THE OTHER POSITION IS A NEW POSITION OR EXISTING POSITION.
AND, UH, UH, HOW MANY STAFF YOU HAVE? I THINK YOU'LL KIND OF, UH, ONLY FEEL STAFF, HR DIRECTOR, AND WANT TO SHARE WITH US HOW YOU BUILD A RISK MANAGEMENT TO PROTECT THE CT OF BOY.
SO, AND HOW MANY STAFF, I THINK OVER HERE, YOU REQUIRED WHAT TWO OR THREE WAY? UH, HUMAN RESOURCE AND ENTRY LEVELS.
WOULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO US, UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, UH, HELEN TRAN, DIRECTOR OF HR AND RISK MANAGEMENT.
UH, WE HAVE A STAFF OF FOUR TOTAL, MYSELF AND THREE OTHERS, TWO MEMBERS OF MY TEAM ARE LEAVING.
AND SO I HAVE TO QUICKLY, UM, LOOK AT WHAT'S NEEDED.
AND, AND SINCE I'VE BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR TWO YEARS, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE HAPPEN.
UH, I MEAN, HR, WE COVER RISK MANAGEMENT, WHICH COVERS WORKERS' COMP LIABILITY.
UM, UH, YOU KNOW, RECRUITMENT, UM, YOU KNOW, LABOR RELATION OR NEGOTIATION.
SO IT'S A HUGE, UH, TASK FOR JUST A SMALL TEAM.
AND SO WHEN WE LOOKED AT, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE OPERATION, UM, I REALIZED THAT I NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN BE MY, BE MY BACKUP BECAUSE I CAN'T, YOU KNOW, JUST BEING ONE PERSON.
I COULD NOT DO IT ALL AT TIMES.
SO HAVING AN HR MANAGER WHO COULD ALSO ASSIST IN MANAGING ALL, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE, UM, ASPECTS OF, OF HR RISK MANAGER IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE ARE MANAGING RISKS AS WELL.
AND WE'RE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB AND MINIMIZING THAT OVER THE YEARS AND SAVING MONEY FOR THE CITY.
UM, AS FAR AS, UH, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, UH, PREVENTING RISKS AND, UH, AND MAKING SURE RECRUITMENTS THAT WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE BEING A PARTNER TO ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS, UH, THAT THEY ARE EFFECTIVELY, UM, YOU KNOW, OR, YOU KNOW, NEEDS OR ADDRESS PERSONNEL MATTERS, UM, AND SO FORTH.
SO IT, I MEAN, THIS, THIS, UH, PROPOSAL WOULD BE REALLY GOOD FOR THE DEPARTMENT AS IN RURAL CREATE SUCCESSION PLANNING AS WELL.
I THINK HR IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE CT OR FOR COMPANY FOR RESTAURANT DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE YOU BASICALLY, YOU DEAL WITH A LOT OF ISSUE WITH MANAGEMENT'S ONE ISSUE AND THE IDEA OF A LABOR NEGOTIATIONS, ANOTHER ISSUE, AND THEN YOU HAVE A KIND OF A WORKER WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENT.
AND THE, AND THE HOW TO MAKE THE THING FASTER TOO.
WE CALL PEOPLE TO COME IN BECAUSE IF WE DON'T DO FAST, SOME OTHER CITY WILL RUB IT.
OUR PEOPLE IF ARE WAITING LONG, SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN HAVE A SWEEP.
AND THE PROCESS TO WHEN WE HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE, THEN WE RIGHT AWAY MAKE AN OFFER AND THEN CAN HAVE DENTAL WORK FOR THE CT, BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE A, QUITE A, A LOT OF VACANCY, AND THEN SOMETIMES IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET PEOPLE IN.
SO, SO POSSIBLE YOU ARE LEGO FOR STAFF.
SO THERE'S A REASON SOME DELAY DUE TO THAT REASON.
AND THE GOAL IS ALWAYS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT TO BE MORE EFFICIENT, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, A PARTNER TO ALL OF OUR, UH, DEPARTMENTS AND EMPLOYEES AND DELAYED THE MOST.
I HEARD ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND CHECK AND PAY ONE CHEDDAR.
[01:00:01]
SOUNDS LIKE IT'D TAKE FOREVER.CAN WE MAKE THE PIG ONE CHECK A LITTLE BIT FASTER? BECAUSE IF WE BACK ON CHECK, WAIT FOR TWO, THREE WEEKS, PEOPLE ARE WAITING TO FIND OUT ANOTHER JOB THEY DROPPED.
THE THING IS WE CAN'T CONTROL, UM, HOW FAST THAT GOES, BECAUSE IT DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL ONCE THEY'RE, UH, THEY GET SCANNED A, COULD HAVE THE SAME SIMILAR NAMES AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT THEY GETS DELAYED.
SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IF THERE IS ANYTHING IN THE BACKGROUND, IT CAN COMES, BUT THE PICK ONE CHAIR, I'M SORRY.
THE BIG ENTREE IS FOUND THE FBI LAB OR THE DATABASE OF A NATIONAL, OR CAN WE ALL POLICE DEPARTMENTS THAT RECORD? WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, PLEASE DO.
SO IF WE ARE ABLE TO DELAYS FROM THEM, WELL, NOT NECESSARILY, AGAIN, IT DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL WHO'S GETTING BACKGROUND.
SO I IT'S ALWAYS FILED YOU DON'T SEND OUT TO THE FBI, YOU SEND OUT TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO CHECK THE BACKGROUND AND WE CAN USE ALL, UH, UM, OPTIONAL VENDORS THAT'S THERE, BUT WE ARE, I, I THAT'S, ONE OF THE GOALS IS TO LOOK AT THE PROCESS.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE SONICALLY ANSWERS IS WHO'S DOING THE BACKGROUND CHECK, IS OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, OR ARE YOU ALSO INTO, SO WE DO HAVE THE SHERIFF WHO PROCESS THE BACKGROUND, BUT WHEN THEY ARE BOUND TO SHOW, THEN WE USE OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL.
SO AGAIN, IT JUST, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT WE USE ALL AVENUES, THAT'S THE OUT THERE, BUT LOOKING FOR POSSIBLY WOMEN IS ALWAYS THE GOAL.
UM, MY POINT IS JUST, HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THIS PROCESS OF BACKGROUND CHECK.
I WENT THROUGH A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE BACKGROUND CHECK FOR OUR, KEEP US INTO CAMILLE TAKE FOREVER.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL ALWAYS LOOK AT THAT.
AND I WANT A NEW ON A DIFFERENT TOPIC, NOT ON HIRING, BUT ON RISK MANAGEMENT.
I WANT TO COMMEND YOU ON THE WORK.
YOU'VE DONE MITIGATING OUR LEGAL RISKS.
SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP THAT PROCESS IN PLACE AND CONTINUE TO UTILIZE THE RISK MANAGEMENT THAT HAS BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE AS COMPARED TO PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION.
SO THANK YOU ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OF OUR HR DIRECTOR? I JUST WANTED TO ADD TO THAT.
CAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE DOING THE, UH, WHOLE FISCAL MANAGEMENT AND, UM, YOU KNOW, ONE TO HAVE OUR, UH, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE HR DIRECTOR POSITION AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD THIS BECAUSE IT WAS IMPORTANT IN REGARDS TO RISK MANAGEMENT AND EVERYTHING.
UM, MY QUESTION IS THE THERE'S ONLY FOUR INCLUDING YOURSELF, CORRECT? CORRECT.
AND TWO IS LEAVING AND TWO IS LEAVING, WHICH ARE THE TWO THAT ARE LEAVING, UH, OR WHAT'S YOUR ANALYSTS AND THE, UM, AM AN ASSISTANT TO THE, WHICH WAS THE MO UM, ASSIGNED RISK MANAGEMENT SIDE OF THINGS.
SO WE JUST BROUGHT ON SOMEONE WHO HAS THAT BACKGROUND.
SO WE ARE, AGAIN, SHE JUST STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO.
UM, I AM NOW CURRENTLY TRYING TO LOOK AT, UM, THE ANALYST POSITION.
THAT'S WHY I'M THINKING THE HR MANAGER WOULD BE A GOOD ROUTE TO GO WITH B, JUST BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AND PROCESS IMPROVEMENT AND SO FORTH.
AND I, WITH ALL THE HIRING, I KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET SOMEBODY QUALIFIED BECAUSE ONE, YOU HAVE TO TAKE ALL THE TIME TO TRAIN THEM, BUT AT LEAST HAVE THEM AT A HIGHER STANDARD.
SO WHEN IT'S TRAINING, THEY COULD TAKE OFF.
SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCILMAN WU, ARE YOU SURE THAT'S ENOUGH? YOU WANT MORE PEOPLE? I MEAN, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, SO WE'RE HIRING THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
SO, WELL, ALL THE DEPARTMENT NOW, CURRENTLY YOU THINK THIS HAS TO BE GOOD AND THAT STEPHANIE, YOU THINK WE CAN AFFORD IT? YES.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? IT LOOKS LIKE.
AND I WILL MOVE TO MOTION TO APPROVE.
SECOND, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, TO, TO SOME MOTION FOR ITEM NUMBER 2, 3, 4, 5, AND SIX BY COUNCILMEN, WU, AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL, WOMAN LOPEZ V AUTO COUNCIL MEMBER, TABATA TBA.

UH, SO BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, IT'S A CONSIDERATION OF CITY COUNCIL GOALS.
[01:05:02]
WAITING FOR IT AGAIN.UM, THE INTENT FOR THIS EVENING IS TO HAVE A CONSENSUS FROM THE COUNCIL IN PRIORITIZING THE FOLLOWING, UH, GOALS, UH, AS INCLUDED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.
THERE'S EIGHT MAJOR CATEGORIES OF GOALS THAT WE LOOKING FOR YOUR DIRECTION ON ONE IS PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY.
TWO IS ADDRESS HOMELESS ISSUES.
THREE IS ENHANCED CITY IMAGE AND EFFECTIVENESS.
UM, THREE, FOUR IS MAINTAINED GOOD INTER-GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONSHIPS OR RELATIONS.
UM, FIVE IS ACHIEVE FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY AND FINANCIAL STABILITY.
SIX IS A WELL-PLANNED COMMUNITY.
SEVEN IS EXPANDED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AND THE LAST ONE IS CREATIVE AND ACTIVE COMMUNITY.
SO, UM, I CAN GO THROUGH NEXT PAGE THEN I CAN GO THROUGH AND LIST ALL OF UNDER EACH MAJOR GOAL THERE'S SUBCATEGORIES AND SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT ARE LISTED.
SO THE FIRST ONE IS RESPONSE TO THE GLOBAL PEN, UH, ENDEMIC.
UM, SO EXECUTE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS FOR COVID TESTING AND EXECUTE AGREEMENTS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL AMBULANCE TRANSPORT SERVICES TO MAKE SURE, UM, OUR RESIDENTS HAVE, UH, PROPER SERVICES.
SECOND ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT, UM, AND IT'S TO SEEK A PROVISIONAL APPROVAL FOR THE CREATION OF OUR WEST COVINA, UH, HEALTH DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING, UH, VARIOUS STEPS THAT ARE, UM, UNDER THAT CATEGORY.
AND I CAN LIST THEM OR I CAN KIND OF GIVE YOU GUYS A SUMMARY.
I FIGURED, UM, THE SECOND ONE IS ACQUIRE AND IMPLEMENT THE USE OF BODY-WORN CAMERAS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ITEM, UH, TO HELP, UH, RECORD INTERACTIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.
UH, THE SECOND ONE IS AN ANNUAL POLICE DEPARTMENT REVIEW, WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCREASE ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY.
AND I HAVE TO SWITCH, UH, ANNUAL REPORT.
WE ALREADY DID A SECOND IS PURCHASED NEEDED FIRE EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
UM, THE SUIT INCLUDE TWO RESCUE AMBULANCES, THREE FIRE PUMPER ENGINES, AND ONE FIRE LETTER TRUCK, UH, DEVELOP AN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN, UH, TO ENSURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY'S READY FOR AN A IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS TO CONDUCT A BUY ANNUAL CANVAS FOR OUR PET LICENSES THAT WE HAVE NOT CONDUCTED WITH THE CHANGES IN, UM, PROVIDER.
SO THAT IS ALL INCLUDED UNDER PUBLIC SAFETY.
NEXT IS, UH, GOAL NUMBER TWO, ADDRESS HOMELESS ISSUES.
AND THIS ONE REALLY IS IN RESPONSE TO, UM, MEASURE H WHICH WAS A QUARTER PERCENT INCREASE TO THE SALES TAX RATE, UM, TO ADDRESS, UH, HOMELESS ISSUES WITHIN THE COUNTY, UM, TO SEEK EXTERNAL FUNDING, INCLUDING, UH, THROUGH THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY HOUSING TRUST FUND, UH, TO HELP ADDRESS HOMELESS OR PROVIDE HOMELESS SERVICES HERE IN WEST COVINA AND THEN PARTNER WITH AREA CDS ON A REGIONAL RESPONSE TO INADEQUACIES OF THE EXISTING, UH, MEASURE H PROGRAM.
AS I REMEMBER, UH, LAST YEAR WE HAVE A STATION UNION UNION STATION SUPPOSED TO BE BY END OF THE YEAR.
THEY WANT TO GIVE US SOME PRESENTATION.
SO CAN WE INVITE THEM TO, TO I COME BACK TO DIDN'T PROMISE THAT, BUT BY THE END OF THE YEAR, SO WE COULD FOLLOW UP WITH UNION STATION WHEN THEY WERE UP HERE PRESENTING, WE HAD A DIALOGUE WITH THEM AND THEY'VE ACTUALLY SAID CHRISTMAS, BUT THEN I SAID, LET'S, LET'S SAY END OF THE YEAR.
SO WE NEED TO DO TO, WE HAVE THIS GOAL WE GOT IN THE HOMELESS ISSUE.
CAN WE INVITE THEM TO COME BESSIE THEIR PROPOSAL? AND WE CAN KIND OF CONSOLIDATE, OKAY.
AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THE MONEY FROM COUNTY QUEBEC IN OUR MAJOR H MONEY.
SO WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING OURSELVES RATHER THAN CONTINUE TO WAIT.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A STATION UNION.
SO UNION STATION SINCE DAY DOING THIS WAS A VERY LITTLE RESOURCE BASED ON WHAT THEY SAY SO WE CAN USE IN THEM.
AND, UH, WE'LL CONSOLIDATE WITH OUR NONPROFIT CHURCHES AND THEY WEREN'T WILLING TO HELP PUT IT TOGETHER AND MAKE A WEST COVINA HOMELESS INITIATIVE AND STUDYING, HELPING PEOPLE, UH, RATHER THAN, UH, CONTINUE.
SOME OF DOES, THEY NEED COUNTY TO COOPERATE, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WERE HAPPEN AT ALL.
YOU'VE JUST BEEN KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND DOING SO W WE STILL HAVE A HOMELESS PEOPLE ON THE STREET.
SO WOULD YOU PLEASE SEE WHEN THEY CAN WILLING TO ALREADY THE LADY DOES 10 DID A PRESENTATION? CAN WE INVITE HER BACK? OKAY.
HE COULD DEFINITELY INVITE THEM BACK.
OUR CONTRACT WITH THEM DID END, UH, LAST, UH, END OF DECEMBER, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY INVITE THEM TO WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO IS, IS TAKE THE, THEIR EXPERTISE THEY GAINED WHILE WORKING HERE AND COME BACK TO US WITH A PROPOSAL THAT THEY THINK COULD HAVE THEY TAILORED THE CT BASED ON WHAT SHE SAYS.
[01:10:01]
THEY UNDERSTAND ABOUT OUR CTE ISSUE SINCE THEY ALWAYS SUPPORT WHILE PANDEMIC, BUT STILL THEY UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE ISSUE.SO WE JUST LET THEM GO AWAY IS KIND OF WAYS.
SO MAYBE WE CAN HAVE THEM AND THERE'S FIND A RESOURCE AND THEY HAVE SOME WAYS WE HAVE SOME RESOURCES WE CAN WORK TOGETHER.
WE NEED TO RESOLVE THIS HOMELESS, NO MATTER WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER ABOUT DUBAI.
I WAS, UH, EXTREMELY EXCITED WHEN A UNION STATION HAD SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO THE PRESENTATION.
UH, AND, AND, AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE SHE DID MENTION, UH, THE HOUSING COMPONENT THAT IS LACKING IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY.
AND SO, UH, I NOTICED, UH, ONE OF THE GOALS IS TO ALSO TRY TO ACCESS THAT SAN GABRIEL VALLEY HOUSING TRUST FUNDS.
UH, AND I THINK WITHOUT A PLAN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO, BUT IF A UNION STATION COULD PROVIDE SOME KIND OF PLAN, UH, THAT REALLY LOOKS AT, I MEAN, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, $20 MILLION THAT, UH, SENATOR SUSAN RUBIO, UM, YOU KNOW, HAS PUT OUT TO THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY AND IS AVAILABLE FOR US.
AND WE HAVE GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THAT OFFICE.
AND I THINK IF WE PUT SOMETHING REALLY QUALITY TOGETHER, UM, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK.
SO, SO CAN YOU ARRANGE FOR NEXT MEETING THAT? OKAY, WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TO WAIT BECAUSE SUPPOSEDLY, OKAY.
DUE TO THIS, THE OFFICE SHUT DOWN.
SO MAYBE WE CAN ASK HER TO, OKAY.
THEY HAD READY FOR THEIR PROPOSAL.
AND A TAILORED TO OUR CT NEED BASED ON OUR SITUATION.
AND WE CAN KIND OF WORK WITH OTHER CHURCHES AND OUR NONPROFIT WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM, AND THAT WE DO THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
TO TRY TO FIND THEIR CAMPING AREA, TO TRY TO HELP THEM SEE, WE CAN FIND SOME, I UNDERSTAND SOME CHURCHES, THEY HAVE SOME VOLUNTEER VOLUNTEER DAY, THEY ARE HOUSING.
SO MAYBE YOU CAN PUT DANE TO SOME MORE HOMELY, EACH EMPOWERMENT RATHER THAN THE, LIKE A HORMONAL CONCENTRATION CAMP.
BECAUSE, SO WE NEED TO HAVE THEM FEEL LIKE DELL GRADES AS A FAMILY MEMBER, RATHER THAN JUST TEMPORARY.
SO, BUT AT THE MEANTIME, WHICH IS VERY COLD WEATHER, WE NEED TO HAVE, UH, SOME KIND OF A VOUCHER FOR THEM TO GO TO THE HOTEL.
SO, SO AT LEAST WE CAN KIND OF HELP THE PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY FAMILY WITH CHILDREN.
WE DO HAVE A HOTEL VOUCHERS CURRENTLY.
UH, JUST CAUSE I, I DON'T WANT TO FORGET.
AND, UH, COUNCILMAN WU, UH, MENTIONED IT.
UM, WE ALSO DO HAVE THE HOMELESS COUNT ON JANUARY 25TH.
UH, AND WE, WE ARE, UH, I BELIEVE WE HAVE 10, UH, I KNOW MY WIFE AND I SIGNED UP AS VOLUNTEERS.
UM, UH, WE NEED 80, UH, AND SO REALLY TO HAVE, UM, GOOD NUMBERS, RIGHT.
WE NEED GOOD DATA, UM, TO, TO REALLY CREATE A VIABLE PLAN, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER PROJECT WE PUT TOGETHER ACTUALLY ADDRESSES THOSE WHO ARE UNSHELTERED.
SO, UH, AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER PRIORITY IN TERMS OF ITEM NUMBER TWO, IS THAT WE DO REALLY REACH OUT AND, AND GET THOSE, YOU KNOW, 70 MORE VOLUNTEERS SO WE CAN HAVE GOOD NUMBERS, UM, IN ORDER TO, UM, REALLY ADDRESS.
CAUSE I KNOW WITH THE, WITH BOISE, UM, THEY GO OFF OF THAT NUMBER.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY NEED TO HAVE A GOOD NUMBER, UH, IN, IN ORDER TO, TO REALIZE WHAT YOUR NEEDS ARE AND, AND HOW TO ACCESS, UH, SOME OF THESE, UM, THINGS.
SO, UH, JANUARY 25TH, UH, CAMERON PARK.
IN SAN LOUIS COUNTY, OR THIS IS ALL VOLUNTEER OR A DOOR OR THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO A JOINT VENTURE WITH OUR CONSOLIDATE RESOURCE BECAUSE, UH, W OKAY.
SUPPOSEDLY THEY HAVE A DEAL PROFESSIONAL DOING THIS THING.
SHOULD WE JOIN THE COUNTY? INVITE THE COUNTY TO WORK TOGETHER.
BECAUSE THERE ARE NORMALLY THEY DO.
AND THE HOMELESS COME OKAY TO IVCT EVERY YEAR.
SO MAYBE WE SHOULD REQUEST COUNTY TO DO THIS CONSOLIDATE.
AND WE WANT TO SEE WHAT OKAY'S STAGING UNION REGARDING THEIR OUTREACH.
SO WE CAN COMBINE BECAUSE WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE THEY AT.
I KNOW THE RAILROAD AT THE SOUTH SIDE, THEY HAVE A, QUITE A LOT, BUT LET IS NOT IN WEST COVINA AND THERE IS COUNTY SO-SO, BUT THEY, THEY STILL GO OKAY.
AND THERE'S SOME OF A SEVEN 11 PARKING LOT BECAUSE THEY, AGAIN, THEY THEY'VE, THEY WALK AROUND FLOATING AROUND.
[01:15:01]
INTO THE, ALL THIS COMMON AREA, NOT NECESSARILY INSIDE WEST COVINA.CONTENT CANNOT BE, GET OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, HAVE TO SEND THEIR STAFF TO COMBINE WITH OUR STAFF AS THE JOINT VENTURE.
UM, ROSEANNE, YOU WANNA SAY SOMETHING, MIKE? YEAH.
MICROPHONES ARE WHERE THE, OKAY.
I CANNOT HEAR YOU IN THE MOBILE ONE.
HOW ABOUT THE MOBILE ONE? HOW ABOUT THE MOBILE MIND? CAN YOU GO THROUGH THE CHAIR IF I MAY, JUST TO ADDRESS, UM, SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS, UM, COUNCILMAN WU, REGARDING THE COUNTY'S COUNT OF THE HOMELESS, THE COUNTY TYPICALLY DOES, UM, REQUEST VOLUNTEERS.
SO IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE IN THE VARIOUS CITIES THAT I'VE WORKED FOR, THAT, UM, THEY DO ASK THAT EACH CITY PROVIDE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS.
UM, THEY DO SUPPLEMENT WITH COUNTY STAFF, BUT THEY ARE, EXCUSE ME.
THEY DO SUPPLEMENT WITH COUNTY STAFF, BUT THEY RELY HEAVILY ON VOLUNTEERS.
AND SO, UM, WHAT WE CAN DO TO ASSIST WITH THOSE EFFORTS IS DOING SOCIAL MEDIA PUSH, UM, JUST TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEER, THEY CAN CERTAINLY DO SO.
AND HOW THEY CAN GO ABOUT, UM, BECOMING A VOLUNTEER FOR THAT HOMELESS COUNT.
BUT YES, THE COUNTY DOES SEND STAFF AND YES, THEY TYPICALLY DO ASK, UM, ALL CITIES TO PROVIDE VOLUNTEERS, BUT WE, WE MAY, OR, OH, SORRY.
WE HAVE PARTICIPATED OBVIOUSLY IN THE ACCOUNTABLE.
AND THEN AS I REMEMBERS, OKAY.
AND, UH, WE, UH, HAVE A COUNTY JOINT VENTURE WITH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR VOLUNTEERS, AND OUR STAFF AND OUR POLICE.
TO NOT ONLY TO A HOMELESS COUNT AT THE SAME TIME, SO-CALLED THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO HELP THEM SOLVE THEN OKAY.
OFF THE STREET, YOU OVER THERE, YOU COME ARE MANY, BUT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SINCE YOU, SO YOU SEE THERE OVER THERE, CAN WE SAY, CAN WE HELP BUILD THIS ON THAT? SO THEY SHOULD BE COMBINED TOGETHER? WHY THEY JUST CAN'T HELP ME 1, 2, 3, OKAY.
1, 2, 3, AND THEN FLOATING AROUND 2 7, 4, 5, 9, 10.
SO I DON'T THINK THAT IS REALLY, AS I REMEMBER, THE VERY EFFECTIVE WAY IS COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
AND WITH A VOLUNTEER WITH THE PROFESSIONAL, WITH OUR OTHER SHERIFF.
AND THE POLICE ARE JOINED TOGETHER AND DOING THAT.
AND THEN THE LAST TIME THAT WE, FROM THE PREVIOUS CHIEF, WE RECEIVED THAT REPORT.
WE ONCE COMMUNITY OUTREACH, WE TAKING CARE OF AT LEAST 10 TO 20 OF THE HOMELESS, THEY WILL NEED TO RECEIVE HELP.
SO, SO I THINK, OKAY, WHY THEY JUST COUNTING THEM? OKAY.
WE SHOULD COUNT THEM AT THE SAME TIME.
SINCE WE, WE SEE DOWN OVER THERE, THEN WE SAY, CAN WE PROVIDE YOU SERVICE? MAYBE WE COULD INVITE UNION STATION REPS TO SEE IF THEY'D LIKE TO PUT, AND THEN WE, WE, WE CAN, WE CAN COME BY WITH CHURCHES.
AND THAT'S THOSE LIKE ALL IN ONE.
UH, THEY WILLING TO HELP, THEN WE HAVE, UH, OKAY.
UH, MATT CHAVEZ WITH THEIR GROUP.
THEY WERE WEIRDLY AGGRESSIVE WANTING TO HELP THE COMMUNITY.
LET'S INVITE THEM TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE VERY OKAY.
UH, MEMBERS, THEY WILLING TO HELP PEOPLE.
AND THEN WE HAVE SOME OTHER LIKE, UH, GOD PANTRY.
WE LET TIME WITH THE PREVIOUS MAYOR THAT HE LOPEZ, WE HAVE MEETING WITH DEMO THE ONE TIMES.
SO, SO I THINK WE SHOULD COMBINE AND THEN, AND THEN WE DO IT.
SO WE USING THE MANPOWER, BUT THAT JUST THE CONDEMN, I THINK WE, AT THE SAME TIME WE SHOULD PROVIDE SERVICE IF WE CAN, WE CAN DEFINITELY REACH OUT TO THOSE GROUPS AND SEE HOW WE ORGANIZE.
AND THEN WITH OUR RESOURCE, WITH THE VOLUNTEER WELL, OKAY.
THEN WE DO A COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO THOSE, TO THE, SOME AREA TO SEE.
UM, SO THE THIRD, UM, GOAL IS TO ENHANCE CITY IMAGE AND EFFECTIVENESS.
THIS INCLUDES, UH, BRINGING ALL THE CITY FACILITIES TO STANDARD, UM, KIND OF A CONTINUANCE OF US BEING ENERGY EFFICIENT, UM, UPGRADING, UH, THE RESTROOMS AT OUR PARKS AND OUR CITY FACILITIES AS WELL.
UM, ADDRESSING DEFERRED MAINTENANCE TO THE SPORTS PLEX, UM, INSTALLING NEW, UH, CITY ENTRY SIGNS, UM, UPDATING PLAYGROUNDS.
UM, SO THOSE ARE KIND OF THE ITEMS IN REGARDING, UH, BRINGING CITY FACILITIES TO STANDARD.
UM, UH, SECOND IS IMPROVE RECREATIONAL.
SINCE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS POLE, PLAQUE AND HOURS.
AND WE HAVE A LOT OF, UH, LIGHT, I THINK THEY EAT UP A LOT OF POWER BELT.
I KNOW, I THINK WE TALK ABOUT THE LAST YEAR
[01:20:01]
WE GOT IN, UH, HOW WE OKAY.ON THE SURVEY AND THE ESTIMATE, HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST US THE CT TO CHANGE INTO OLDER LINES LED AND WHEN NOT EVERYTHING'S LED.
THE SPOT THAT WE HAVE A SIX FAIL AND THERE'S A LOT OF A POWER BILL WE HAVE TO PAY, AND THEN WE HAVE A 16 PARK.
SO, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF BASEBALL FIELDS.
SO HOW SOON WE CAN HAVE THE ESTIMATION, BECAUSE I THINK LAST YEAR WE HAD A WAY TO REQUEST THE NUMBER AND I THINK ALLIANCE WANTED TO DO IT, BUT WE WANT TO GO TO ONE VENDOR DIRECTLY WOULD BE SOMETHING CHEAPER.
CAN YOU KIND OF SHARE WITH US SET UP THE GOAL IS GREAT, BUT I THINK EXECUTION EVEN MORE IMPORTANT, WE, HOW CAN WE EXECUTE TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN? SO, UM, IN REGARDS TO THE FIELD LIGHTS AT THE SPORTSPLEX, I DON'T KNOW IF ROXANNE CAN ADD TO THIS, BUT WE, WE DID LOOK AT, UM, CHANGING THEM TO LED.
I BELIEVE THAT THERE, THE CURRENT LIGHTS ARE, ARE UNDER WARRANTY.
AND SO WE WOULD LOSE OUT ON THE WARRANTY IF WE SWITCH THEM OUT AT THIS TIME.
UH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE VERY HEAVY DUTY WASTE ENERGY LIGHT IS ON THE WARRANTY WHO REALLY CARE.
THE LINES THAT COST US A LOT OF POWER BILL.
IF WE CHANGE YOUR LED, I, I HAVE PEOPLE TO ESTIMATE HOW MUCH TO DO THE, THE, THE, OKAY.
THE TENNIS SCHOOL LIKE THIS AND THAT.
WHEN I, THE PRICE IS DITCH, HAVE THE CHANGE, THE BALLAST, OKAY.
IT'S NOT REALLY THAT EXPENSIVE.
ALLOW US THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVISIT THAT AND TO GET YOU SOME REAL NUMBERS.
UM, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, MORALES IS CORRECT IN THE SENSE THAT THERE ARE, SOME OF THOSE LIGHTS ARE UNDER WARRANTIES, BUT, UM, LET US GET YOU SOMETHING FROM, AND LET US ALLOW, GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE YOU SOME REAL NUMBERS TO THAT.
AND AN OLDER, THOSE LIES, DEAR, THE TRADITION.
NOW, NOW THE ENERGY SAVING LIGHT BALL, RIGHT? YEAH.
AND WHAT KIND OF BULLS ARE THOSE OTHER? ARE THEY THE GAS BULBS? MERCURY? I BELIEVE THEY'RE HALOGEN, ALLERGAN, HALOGEN HOLIDAY.
THAT'S LESS A BALE KILL IN PUPPET THE EU ALIVE WITH THE OWNER BY LIE AND ON ALMOST THE TIME.
AND I WILL MEET WITH RON SO FAST.
WE NEED TO ESTIMATE LED BECAUSE SINCE WHY NOW? OKAY.
THEY HAVE, UH, EVERYTHING FOR AED.
AND SO ALSO WE CAN DO THIS REPORT AND BACK TO US, I THINK WE STARTED IN LAST YEAR ALREADY.
AND TO LOOK INTO ROSA, I'M NOT TRYING TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT THAT YOU PUT, YOU STILL PUT IN NEW.
BUT, BUT THIS WEEK ASKED FOR CITY MANAGER TO DO A LAST YEAR WHEN WE ARE DOING THE ALLIANCE ENERGY, SAVING THIS ON THAT PROJECT.
AND THE WHY WE PUT IT UP IS THE FOUR PLEX, THE SIX BASEBALL FAIL AT THE SAME TIME WITHIN THE MEETING, WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE PARK THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVE THE CHILDREN PLAYING THE, THE LEAGUE.
AND THEN, SO IN THAT WAY, IF SOMEBODY COMPLAINING ABOUT CORTEZ PART LIFE ON OVERNIGHT, SO IN THAT WAY, AND IF WE PUT AN LED, SO THERE'S NICE, SAFE TO MAKE IT OKAY.
DOING THE NIGHTTIME DON'T MAKE SO TALK WITH LED.
SO ONE OF THE GOALS, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE ON HERE, BUT, UM, IT IS ABOUT ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND I BELIEVE THAT WE DID REPLACE THE SHADOW OAK LIGHTS IN THE FIELDS UP THERE WITH LED.
THAT WAS PART OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENT PROJECT WITH ALLIANCE.
UM, AND SO WE ARE LOOKING AT REPLACING THE OTHER LIGHTS AND WE GET A SURVEY FOR AN ENTIRE CITY PARK AND THERE WAS A, THE, THE, THE BALLPARK.
AND THEN TO SEE, DEFINITELY WORK ON PLEASE.
WE CAN GET A REPORT TO SURVEY ENTIRE CT SO WE CAN, AND, AND THEN, THEN WE CAN SOLVE IT.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST US? AND DO WE HAVE, UH, ANY OF EDISON OKAY.
REBATE AND TO DO ALL THIS IMPROVE.
AND I KNOW EDISON WOULD DO A LOT OF REBATE IF WE SAVE ENERGY.
SO CAN WE CHECK INTO IT ALSO, YOU SEE, WHEN WE CAN RECEIVE SOME NEXT MEETING, WE CAN PROVIDE YOU FEEDBACK AT THE NEXT MEETING.
WELL, WHAT WE CAN DO, WHAT WE CAN DO AT THE NEXT MEETING IS WE CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE TIMELINE OF WHEN WE CAN GIVE YOU A REPORT, LET US GET SOME W WE DO HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU.
SO ALLOW US TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING.
AND THEN WE CAN GIVE IN ESTABLISHED A TIMELINE IN ORDER FOR AN EVALUATION TO, UM, TO BE CONDUCTED.
[01:25:01]
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING I LIKE YOUR ATTITUDES.NO, BUT REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, WE'LL PROVIDE A TIMELINE.
BUT I NEED TO HAVE SOME SURVEY BY THE WAY, SO WE CAN HAVE TO THINK BECAUSE I'LL OTHERWISE, OKAY.
LET US CONTINUE TO WASTE THE ENERGY, CONTINUE TO WASTE OUR GENERAL FOUND FULL PAYING OR THE BILL.
I THINK WE CAN SAY MILLIONS JUST FOR ALL THIS LIGHT, JUST TO PAY THE EDISON.
IS, YOU KNOW, W THESE GOALS, YOU, YOU DO WANT, UM, SOMETHING SMART, RIGHT? SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH, YOU CAN POINT TO, AND YOU CAN SAY AT THIS TIME, THIS IS WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO.
AND IT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE, THE SOONER WE CAN GET THAT PRESENTATION, THE SOONER WE CAN HAVE IN, IN THIS, THIS AMOUNT OF TIME, THIS WILL HAPPEN.
THIS WILL HAPPEN THEN, LIKE COUNCILMAN, WHO SAID, THIS ACTUALLY BECOMES VERSUS JUST JUST WORDS.
I BELIEVE THE INTENT WAS FOR TONIGHT WAS TICKET A PRIORITY ON WHICH ONES YOU WANTED US TO FOCUS ON.
AND THEN WE CAN GO FROM THERE AND START COMING BACK WITH A PLAN ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS.
WE ONLY HAVE A YESTERDAY, SO, OKAY.
UH, THE NEXT IS IMPROVED RECREATIONAL AND PARK OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMMUNITY, UM, INCLUDING OUR PICNIC AREAS, RESURFACING TENNIS COURTS, UM, LOOKING AT OUR SKATE PARK AND WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE, UM, AS WELL AS GALSTER PARK AND, UH, DOING A TRAIL PROJECT, THE NEXT ONE IS BASICALLY MORE TRANSPARENCY WITH THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDING, UH, MORE INFORMATION AND PROMPTLY, UH, AND RESOURCES, MAINTAINING OUR WEBSITE, UH, UPDATED, UM, WITH, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION AND EVENTS AND PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT THE CITY HAS, AND THEN BRING BACK THE, UH, DISCOVER NEWSLETTER, UM, AND PROVIDE AN ANNUAL STATE OF THE CITY OR STATE OF THE CITY REPORT.
I WANT YOU TO ASK QUESTION OVER HERE.
I FACING MYSELF, I'VE BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY, WHY YOU POST A PICTURE THAT OKAY.
SO THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WE HAVE EVENTS.
BECAUSE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY EVEN KNOW, EVEN I POST ON THE BUS, I POST ON THIS AND THAT PEOPLE STILL DON'T SEE IT.
SO, SO WE, IF WE CAN A MUCH, OKAY, I'M ALL AGGRESSIVE TO DO THE PROMOTION.
AND TO DO, UH, SOME KIND OF COMMUNICATION TO HAVE OUR RESIDENT KNOW, WE HAVE, WE, WE, WE, WE, WE DOING THE EVENT.
YOU DON'T WANT THE OLD DRESS UP AND NOBODY SHOW UP FOR YOUR PARTY, WHY YOU REALLY WANT TO SPEND ALL THE EFFORT THE STEP TIME, AND YOU REALLY WANT THE HAPPY CHILDREN AND HAPPY RESIDENT TO SEE.
BUT I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE THINGS KIND OF NEW, SO PEOPLE NOT USED TO IT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, PEOPLE KIND OF, UH, OKAY.
ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD EVENT, BUT WE, A COUPLE OF EVENTS PRETTY SUCCESSFUL.
OUR TREE LIGHTING IS VERY SUCCESSFUL.
AND THE SKATING, AND THIS IS SOMETHING I WANT TO THANK ROXANNE TO BRING THIS TO THE CITY.
LET'S THE FIRST TIME, AND WE HAVE A TREE LIGHTING AND THE CITY NEED THE TREE LIGHTING TO PUT OUR RESIDENT TOGETHERS.
SO I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT TO HOW WE CAN LET RESIDENTS.
SO I THINK THAT LAST YEAR WE TALKING ABOUT, WE NEED TO SET IT UP, WHAT IS YEARS? OKAY.
SO AT THE BEGINNING, WE HAVE A CALENDAR TO SHOW TO OUR RESIDENT THAT EVERY YEAR WE MARCHED APRIL, MAY EVERY MONTH, WHAT KIND OF EVENT? THE CITY GOING TO PROVIDE ALL THE, OKAY.
OUR SPONSOR OR OUR LOCAL NONPROFIT, OR EVEN PROFIT.
THEY HOPE WHAT KIND OF EVENT THEY HAVE.
SO IF WE CAN BRING THIS, OKAY.
I KNOW LIVE, LIVE WEST COVINA TRIED TO DO THAT, BUT AGAIN, IT'S JUST A FACEBOOK SIZE NOW WITH THE LEAD, LIKE CT, CT.
THAT ONE IS ONLY LIKE 500 MEMBERS.
SO YOU ONLY HAVE TO FIND YOU, PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT WHILE WE ARE SEATED AT 120,000 POPULATION.
SO HOW CAN WE, AND NOT ONLY THAT WE CAN TRY OUTSIDE OF CT TO SEE OUR CT HAVE THE EVENT.
SO I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KIND OF PUT A CALENDAR FOR A WHOLE YEAR.
SO PEOPLE CAN, AS YOU KEEP MENTIONING, UM, IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO EXECUTE, NOT JUST PUT GOALS ON PAPER, SO DEFINITELY PUTTING IT ON THE CALENDAR WILL HELP.
I, I DIDN'T PUT IN THE CALENDAR.
AND, UH, WHAT KIND OF EVENT AND WE W CITY COUNCIL AND THE VOLUNTEER WANT TO HELP.
AND TO SEE, WE CAN PUT THIS AS OUR CT.
[01:30:01]
THIS FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY IT.AND, AND, UH, AND THAT'S WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS ABOUT.
SO I THINK MY SUGGESTION THAT GLOSSIER IS TO PUT THE CALENDAR OKAY.
AND THE, FROM THE BEGINNING THIS YEAR.
AND I KNOW ROSANNA, WE PUT A LOT OF, UH, HOPE ON YOU, SO, OKAY.
WE WANT TO SEE, HOW CAN YOU WANT TO KIND OF, UH, SHOW THE GOOD PHASE OF THE CITY COUNCILMAN ABOUT DUBAI.
UH, AND, AND JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT, I KNOW THERE THERE'S QUITE A FEW RESIDENTS THAT DON'T REALLY ACCESS THE SOCIAL MEDIA.
UH, AND SO I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, IS, IS IT POSSIBLE WAY TO ALSO LEVERAGE SOME OF OUR SPONSORSHIPS, LIKE WITH ATHENS AND POSSIBLY IN, IN, IN THE MONTHLY AUTHOR SPILL, YOU KNOW, INCLUDE THAT, THAT THIS IS THE MURDER INTERRUPT.
SO WE JUST GOT ONE IN JANUARY, SO THE NEXT ONE WILL BE, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S A THREE MONTH BILL, BUT YEAH.
IT'S, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THINGS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UH, AND YOU KNOW, ALSO, UH, YOU KNOW, AS THE, THESE VIDEO BOARDS, WE HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, GOING BY THE FREEWAY.
AND, AND AGAIN, JUST SO PEOPLE WILL SEE IT IN THESE WAYS.
I KNOW WE, SOCIAL MEDIA IS SO EASY.
UM, BUT AGAIN, A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS AREN'T, AREN'T ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THEY'RE THEY STILL, YOU KNOW, THEY STILL LIKE THE MAIL.
UM, SO I, I WANT TO ADD ON OKAY.
AND I THINK DISCOVER WEST COVINA LA IS A VERY IMPORTANT ADDITION.
IN THE TRADITION, WE ALWAYS HAVE LED OKAY.
AND THEN SEND OUT TO CT QUARTERLY.
AND THEY HAVE ALL THE NEWS ABOUT THE CT.
AND THE LAST TIME I SHOWED TO THE CITY COUNCIL IS SHOWING I COLLECT THAT THING FOR YEARS.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN BRING BACK TO MAILED.
I KNOW WE HAVE TO ESTIMATE HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST THE CT, BUT LET A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL READING.
WAITING FOR, LED TO SHOW UP AND SEE, OKAY, WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY.
A LOT, I, YOU SAY A LOT OF, OKAY.
A RESIDENT DID NOT REALLY GO TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA, SPEAKING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.
WE DID NOT WANT TO GO TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOTHING BUT BULLIED IS ON THAT.
SO, BUT SO THE MAIL COME IN, THEY CHOOSE WHICH ONE THEY WANT.
SO I THINK W LAST YEAR WE TALK ABOUT WANTING TO BRING BACK OKAY.
AND IN SOME OF 'EM WE CAN PUT OTHER SENIOR CENTER OKAY.
FOR PEOPLE TO PICK UP AND OR MAIL TO THEIR HOME.
WE, I REMEMBER WE HAVE, UH, ANOTHER ONE IS CALLED A SCHEDULE, ALL THE, OKAY.
AND A PROGRAM FOR OUR SENIOR FOUR HOUR TRAINING FOR THIS ATLANTA SHOW.
SO ONE THING WE CAN QUIT, I KNOW IT'S PANDEMIC, BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO GRADUALLY BRING THE SALTING BACK.
SO IF I CAN ADD, UM, WHAT THE CITY DID WAS WE CONSOLIDATED THE REC GUIDE.
CAN WE SERVICE DIRECT GUIDE AND THE DISCOVER INTO QUARTERLY, UH, DISTRIBUTION FOR THE COMMUNITY? I, I REMEMBER LET'S DO IN THE 2018 BUDGET, THE NICO WAS THE ONLY PLACE IT CURE EVERYTHING.
AND THEN LATER ON THAT, EVEN THAT DISAPPEARED TOO.
SO, AND SO I THINK WE SHOULD KIND OF BRING BACK IF WE CAN, OKAY.
SEE WHAT WE CAN DO, HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST US.
AND BY THE WAY, WE CAN SELL ADVERTISEMENT.
IN THE PAST, WE CAN DEFINITELY, WE CAN, THE RECREATION, THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT THICKER.
SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF, UH, PEOPLE LIKE, I KNOW MAYOR DARIEL.
CASIANO HE COULDN'T BUY SOME AD RIGHT.
UM, BUT YOU, YOU MAKE A VERY GOOD POINT.
AND IN FACT, A LOT OF RESIDENTS HAVE BROUGHT THAT UP TO ME IN CONVERSATIONS, HOW MUCH THEY MISSED THE DISCOVER.
WE COULD MAKE IT EVEN BETTER THAN IT EVER WAS BEFORE.
ALTHOUGH IT WAS VERY GOOD IN THE PAST.
UM, WE COULD PUT THE CALENDAR IN THERE, A VERY EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR COMMUNICATION.
I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF COMMENTS, COUNCILMAN TOBIAH AND COUNCIL, WOMAN LOPEZ.
WELL, EVERYTHING YOU SAID, I GLAD IT JUST SAID THERE ARE PUBLISHED QUARTERLY DISCOVER NEWSLETTER.
UM, BUT UH, TODAY WE'RE JUST DISCUSSING THE GOALS.
OR WE'RE NOT GOING IN DETAILS OF EVERY LITTLE, UM, SECTION.
I JUST WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT BEFORE WE CONTINUE.
SO GOING BACK TO YOUR TIME ALSO, HOW SO WE CAN GET AT DISCOVER WEST COVINA BACK TO THE RESIDENCE OR HERE, HOW ABOUT THIS ON ALL THESE GOALS? WHEN WOULD WE GET A TIMELINE TOO, SO THAT ALL THIS CAN BE SAID, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE SAME QUESTION FOR EVERY OTHER, UH, TOPIC THAT WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS.
WELL, I THINK OVERALL WE'RE LOOKING FOR PRIORITY, AND THEN WE CAN GO FROM THERE SO THAT WE ACHIEVE PRIORITY.
COUNCILMAN, JUST BECAUSE THIS, THIS GOES WITH, UH, I THINK NUMBER FOUR ALSO, UH, W WITH THE DISCOVER AND ALL OF THESE, I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR THREE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
BECAUSE THIS IS A WAY TO GET IT RIGHT.
YOU GET IT TO THE KID, THE KID GETS IT TO THE HOUSE.
[01:35:01]
UH, AND, UH, AGAIN, TH THIS IS SOMETHING, UH, THAT I, I THINK WE HAVEN'T UTILIZED ENOUGH, AND I THINK WE CAN LEVERAGE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS, UH, TO GET THESE THINGS OUT TO PEOPLE.OH, I A HUNDRED PERCENT AGREE.
THE, THOSE THREE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SHOULD WE HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY BECAUSE THEY ARE OUR CHILDREN.
THERE WE SERVE AS A SAME POPULATION.
SO EVEN EACH THREE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAVE A DEAL ON THREE SELL, GOVERN, OKAY.
COMMITTEE, BUT STILL IT'S OUR RESIDENTS.
WE HAVE A WEST COVINA UNIFIED BASICALLY ENTIRELY IN OUR CT.
AND THEN WE HAVE A COVINA UNIFIED ONE THIRD.
SO BASICALLY WE HAVE THE OLDEST THREE ON THE SOUTH SIDE FROM BKK SOUTH.
EVERYTHING IS ROLLING UNIFIED.
THERE'S A LOT OF POPULATION, SO WE NEED TO KIND OF WORK WITH THEM.
BUT I THINK LUCKILY WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD RELATIONSHIP, UH, WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND THEN THEY ALL SHOW UP OR I'LL STAY ON CT.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN END THE DAY WEST COVINA UNIFIED.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN HAVE A CHANCE TO KIND OF SIT DOWN WITH DAN, HAVE MEETING, SEE HOW CAN WE HELP EACH OTHER.
AND THEN THAT WAY WE CAN USE THIS CORRESPONDENT EDITION ARTICLE.
A BOOKLET, OR WE CAN SEND TO THE SCHOOL TO BRING IT HOME.
AND THEN SAME THING TOO, WHEN WE, WHEN WE HAVE EVENT, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, OKAY.
AND THE TREE LIGHTING THE SCHOOL SHOULD KNOW, OKAY.
IF WE CAN HAVE A SCHOOL, THEY KNOW THE PARENT WILL BRING THEIR CHILDREN.
THIS IS FOR THE KID AND THEY'LL, AND THEY'LL, WE, WE SEE SOME KIPPAH.
WE DON'T SEE A LOT, A LOT OF KIDS IN SUCH A, A CAVE FEELING.
WE FEEL LIKE WE SPEND A LOT OF EFFORT, BUT CHILDREN DON'T EVEN KNOW.
SO HOPEFULLY WITH A SCHOOL WELL WITH A PTA, SO WE CAN GET ALL THIS NETWORKING TOGETHER.
THERE'S THIS IS A NEW YEAR WISH.
WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO DO? WE CAN DEFINITELY PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO COMMUNICATE MORE WITH THEM ABOUT OUR EVENTS AND SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. THANK YOU.
UM, THE NEXT ITEM IS IMPLEMENT ENERGY EFFICIENT MEASURES, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE.
SO GO INTO THAT AGAIN, OR DIVE IN DEEPER, UH, IMPLEMENT THE CITY'S ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
SO LOOK AT, UM, OUR CURRENT TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND HOW WE CAN PROVIDE BETTER TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR RESIDENTS.
THE NEXT ONE IS MAKE A WEST CAMINO MORE VERDANT BY IMPLEMENTING THE MASTER PLAN OF STREET TREES, UM, PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO AREAS NEAR SCHOOLS AND BUS STOPS, ACCESS, ACCESS, AND UPGRADE THE CITY SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM.
UM, THIS IS ONE THAT'S NOT IN YOUR STAFF REPORT, BUT WE FELT WE IMPORTANT TO ADD WAS EVALUATE COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT AND IMPLEMENT AS NEEDED BEST PRACTICE MEASURES, SUCH AS STREET SWEEPING AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
UM, NUMBER FOUR, MAINTAINED GOOD INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS.
UM, SO ONE OF THE MAJOR ONES IS REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND WORKING WITH, UM, OUR REGULATORY AGENCIES TO INSURANCE COMPLIANCE OF STATE CHANGING STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
THE OTHER ONE IS TO PURSUE EXTERNAL PARTNERSHIP AND GRANTS, LOOKING AT, UM, OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE CAN GET GRANTS FOR PROGRAMS OR SERVICES OR INFRASTRUCTURE UPDATES, ANY WAY THAT WE CAN USE THAT TO, UM, LEVERAGE MONEY FOR THE COMMUNITY.
NEXT ONE FIVE, A CHIEF FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY AND FINANCIAL STABILITY, UH, MAINTAIN AND MONITOR THE CISCO CITY'S FISCAL HEALTH ADOPT MOU WITH ALL EMPLOYEE LABOR ASSOCIATIONS, UPDATE CITY PERSONNEL RULES.
UM, LOOK AT, LOOK AT CITY POLICIES.
I'M GOING A LITTLE BIT FASTER.
UM, UPDATE CITY POLICIES, UM, INCLUDING, UH, COMMUNITY SERVICES, FACILITY, USE POLICIES, UM, EVALUATE OPERATIONS, UM, IMPROVE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE THROUGH ALL OUR FACILITIES, UH, EMPLOYEE KNOWN PRINCIPLES OF RISK MANAGEMENT TO ADDRESS ACTION ITEMS IDENTIFIED IN THE CITY RISK MANAGEMENT EVALUATION MAKE CHANGES IN WAYS THE CITY CONDUCTS ITS BUSINESS, ENSURING THE NEEDS OF THE CITY ARE MET, UH, NUMBER SIX, A WELL-PLANNED COMMUNITY.
UM, SO CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS, UH, SPEARHEADING OUR DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE.
AND SO TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT PROJECT, UM, AND THEN ALSO UPDATING OUR, UH, PERMIT SOFTWARE.
WE, UM, NOW WITH THE PANDEMIC, UM, YOU KNOW, HAD CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC AND WE'RE TRYING TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE ONLINE SUBMITTALS.
AND SO BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT ADDITIONAL SERVICE TO OUR, UM, BUSINESS COMMUNITY, NUMBER SEVEN, EXPAND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
SO CONTINUE OUR MARKETING EFFORTS TO EXPAND AND RETAIN THE BUSINESS ECONOMIC BASE, UM, WORK WITH OUR PROPERTY OWNERS TO PROMOTE DEVELOPMENT IN THE COMMUNITY, UM, FOCUS EFFORTS, UM, OF THE ECONOMIC, UH, COMMUNITY
[01:40:01]
DEVELOPMENT DIVISION ON ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND TOURISM THROUGH CONTINUED RELATIONSHIP BUILDING.UM, LOOK AT THE POSSIBILITY OF A ENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT AND THEN REINFORCE WEST COVINA AS A GREAT PLACE TO COME DO BUSINESS, UH, TO LIVE AND TO PLAY IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY.
AND, UH, THIS IS YOUR, YOUR AREA OKAY.
DEVELOPMENT AND, UH, WE CREW ALL THE BUSINESS TO WEST COVINA.
SO I HAD PREVIOUSLY SOLD ROZANNE.
WE WANT MORE BUSINESS COME TO CITY.
AND I KNOW WE HAVE A COUPLE OF BIG PROJECT, INCLUDING WEST COVINA, UH, PLAZA, WEST COVINA, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE ISLAM MALL.
AND, UH, SO WE NEED TO SEE OKAY.
HOW THE CITY CAN KIND OF HELP THEM TO, TO DEVELOP BECAUSE OTHERWISE, UH, WEST COVINA PUZZLE ALWAYS COVINA WILL BE DUE TO ALL THIS CURRENT SITUATION.
SO WE NEED TO HURRY UP TO KIND OF, WE, WE HAVE MEETING WITH THE NEW OWNER.
AND SO CAN WE CONTINUE AT YOU? OKAY.
CAN CONTINUE TO CHECK WITH THEM.
DOES THE CURRENT SITUATION TO HAVE DAN TO CONTINUE TO, WHILE WE ALREADY APPROVED FOR PREVIOUS INVESTOR, THAT IS A COSTAR WOULD.
SO, SO THIS IS A COUPLE OF THE BIG PROJECT AND CONCERNING THE FUTURE WEST COVINA.
AND THAT IS ALL VERY BIG PROJECT AND THE, WE NEED TO REALLY, TO MAKE SURE WE CAN RECALL OKAY.
AND, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT AND ANOTHER THING WE GOT IN THE OKAY.
THAT WE ARE WITH THE RFP AND WE HAVE ALREADY IDENTIFIED, OKAY.
WE NEED TO WORK HARD TO TRY TO GET THIS BECAUSE THEY'RE CONCERNING THE REBILL, THE BUILD A BRAND NEW FIRE STATION ONE BECAUSE COHEN STATION, WHILE WE KNOW HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED.
AND, UH, AND THE, WE, THIS YEAR, THIS IS A PRIORITY.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE CAN BUILD THIS STATION ONE.
AND A TWO OR FOUR HOUR, BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING, UH, OKAY.
THEY ARE VERY, VERY EXTREMELY BUSY STATION NUMBER ONE.
AND, UH, IS, HAS A MOST CALLED SERVICE.
SO WE NEED TO HAVE VIEW OF A BRAND NEW OKAY.
AND I THINK THIS IS THE PRIORITIES PRIORITY.
SO WHEN YOU WANT TO KIND OF SHARE WITH US HOW, OKAY.
HOW SOON WHEN WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THE THING, OR HOPEFULLY WE CAN MAKE THESE THINGS HAPPEN THIS YEAR.
UM, SO I WANTED TO MENTION, I FORGOT THAT UNDER NUMBER THREE, ENHANCED CITY IMAGE AND EFFECTIVENESS, I'M ONE OF THEM UNDER BRING ALL CITY FACILITIES TO STANDARD WAS IDENTIFY POTENTIAL PROJECTS FOR INCLUSION IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
AND WE DID LIST, UM, THE FIRE STATION ONE AND THE CITY YARD UNDER THAT.
UM, SO IN REGARDS, SPECIFICALLY TO THE CITY YARD, UM, WE DID RELEASE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS.
WE DID RECEIVE VARIOUS PROPOSALS, UM, BECAUSE IT IS CITY OWNED PROPERTY.
WE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE SURPLUS LAND ACT SO THAT, UM, WE ARE WAITING TO CONCLUDE THAT TIME.
SEE IF WE RECEIVE ANY PROPOSALS, IF WE DON'T, THEN WE CAN GO BACK TO THE, UH, PROPOSALS WE RECEIVED AND, UH, SELECT ONE OF THOSE AND MOVE FORWARD WITH NEGOTIATIONS WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL FROM THAT'S MID JANUARY, CORRECT? YES.
IT WILL BE MID JANUARY, UM, JANUARY 15TH.
I THINK SOME OF THE PRELIMINARY, OKAY.
STAGING ONE DESIGNED, IT LOOKED REALLY PRETTY.
AND HE WILL BE SHOWING THE CT SHINING ARMOR OKAY.
SO I THINK LET, LET IS REALLY NEEDED TO SAVE LINE.
ON THE FREEWAY 10, IT SAYS, OKAY.
AND, UH, THE HALL OF, UH, WEST COVINA TO, TO REALLY PROTECT OKAY.
AND THEN, SO, SO, SO WE, WE CANNOT WAIT.
SO THAT'S WHY I SAY, OKAY, THIS THING WE NEED TO PUSH TO, TO GET IT.
AND, UH, SO OUR FIREFIGHTER CAN WALK INTO, UH, UH, SET UP AN ENVIRONMENT AND THEN A BRAND NEW, AND MAYBE WE CAN MOVE OUR POLICE HEADQUARTERS, FIRE FIGHTER FIRE DEPARTMENT IN TO
[01:45:01]
THAT NEW BUILDING.SO THIS IS SOMETHING I THINK THAT OKAY.
AND, UH, I THINK THE RESIDENT WANDERED, I THINK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WANTED TO.
SO WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING OR LOOKING AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SELL THE CITY YARD, UM, WE LOOKED AT AN OPPORTUNITY TO RELOCATE THE FIRE STATION AND SPECIFICALLY CAUSE FIRE STATION, UM, DOES NEED TO BE REPLACED.
AND SO WE WERE LOOKING AT OTHER POTENTIAL LOCATIONS, UM, FOR THAT CLOSER TO THE 10 FREEWAY, AS YOU MENTIONED.
UM, AND THAT WOULD OPEN UP MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR SALE OF THE CITY YARD.
SO WHEN YOU SAY GOAL-SETTING, AND WHEN YOU SELL POWER WITH THIS IS POWER, IT IS A PUBLIC SAFETY.
UH, NUMBER EIGHT AND I BELIEVE THAT'S THE LAST ONE IS A CREATIVE AND ACTIVE COMMUNITY.
UM, SO AS YOU GUYS ARE MENTIONING, UM, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ADVERTISE OUR EVENTS.
WE WANT TO EXPAND THE LINEUP OF OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS, UM, MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE WELL ATTENDED, THAT PEOPLE ARE TAKING ADVANTAGES OF THOSE, UH, EVENTS THAT WE HAVE, UM, REEVALUATE OPPORTUNITIES TO LEAVE THE ARTS AND LOCAL HERITAGE INTO EVERYDAY LIFE HOSTS.
AND CO-HOST EVENTS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS DEVELOP A MASTER CALENDAR, AS COUNSEL MENTIONED EARLIER OF COMMUNITY AND CITY SPONSORED EVENTS, AND THEN, UM, REVIEW RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AT THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER AND SEE WHAT OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THERE TO PROVIDE MORE, UM, PARKS OR SERVICES IN THAT AREA.
AND I THINK THAT'S ALL EIGHT OF THE, UH, UH, MAJOR GOALS.
UM, WE ARE TRYING TO GET A PRIORITY OF WHICH ONES YOU WANT TO PRIORITIZE.
UM, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO CHANGE OR ADD, OR THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ELIMINATE COMPLETELY, WE, THAT'S KIND OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE WANTED FROM COUNCIL THIS YEAR.
I THINK BECAUSE THESE ARE ALL PRIORITIES.
ONE APPROACH WE COULD ATTEMPT IS WE COULD EACH, UH, LIST OUR TOP TWO AND GO FROM THERE.
OR MAYBE LET'S SAY TOP THREE, BECAUSE THIS IS AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST.
UM, SO, UM, WELL I'LL, I'LL JUST LIST WEEKLY MINE MEASURE.
H WE GOT TO TARGET THAT AGGRESSIVELY WITH, UH, HELP AND COLLABORATION OF OUR SURROUNDING CITIES, MAYORS, CITY MANAGERS, AND ANYBODY WILLING TO HELP, BECAUSE I THINK THAT WASTE IS JUST HEINOUS AND IT'S GOT TO COME TO A HALT.
I'D LIKE THE GALSTER PARK TRAIL PROJECT TO BE A PRIORITY.
UH, WE HAVE HAD SOME PRELIMINARY, UH, BUY IN FROM OUR STATE LEGISLATORS THAT THEY WILL WORK ON THAT WITH US AND, UM, PUBLIC SAFETY IN GENERAL, BOTH OF OUR DEPARTMENTS, POLICE AND FIRE ARE PRIORITIES.
SO THOSE ARE MY THREE I'LL LET MY MAYOR PRO TEM GO NEXT.
IF I COULD CLARIFY THAT PR NUMBER ONE, PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY WITH ALL THE ITEMS OR SPECIFICALLY POLICE AND FIRE PUBLIC SAFETY.
LET ME LOOK, LET ME LOOK AT THE EXHAUSTIVE LIST.
WELL, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE OUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT, UM, GET APPROVED AND IMPLEMENTED AND, UM, LET'S SEE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
THIS IS HARD BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY PRIORITIES.
UM, I ALSO WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE BEAUTIFICATION OF OUR CITY.
UM, I ALSO WANT TO HAVE, I LIKE THE CAMERAS, THE BODY CAMERAS FOR OUR OFFICERS.
UM, THAT'S WHY THIS IS SO DIFFICULT.
UM, SO I GUESS I'LL STICK WITH THAT.
UH, WELL, SINCE WE'RE GOING THAT DIRECTION WANTED TO RECOMMEND SOMETHING.
CAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT ALL THESE ARE PRIORITY.
UM, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE OUR GOALS AND WITH THIS, I'D LIKE TO SEE STRATEGY AND THEN WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GOAL, A TIMELINE AND EXECUTION.
AND SINCE TECHNICALLY THESE HAVE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, IT FALLS UNDER DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
SO TECHNICALLY WE CAN, UH, TOUCH ON ALL THESE, UM, PRELIMINARY GOALS AND PICK A FEW THAT WE WANT TO FOCUS ON EACH ONE SO THAT IT'S ACROSS THE BOARD BECAUSE SOME OF THESE ARE INTERLINKED WITH EACH OTHER.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, UM, THE FIFTH, UH, MAINTAINED GOOD INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
WELL THAT FALLS IN LINE WITH COMMUNICATION AND A WELL-PLANNED COMMUNITY AND MARKETING.
SO THEY KIND OF ALL INTERRELATE WITH EACH OTHER.
I'D LIKE TO SEE OBVIOUSLY ALL THESE GO THROUGH, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS OVERWHELMING TO MEET ALL THESE
[01:50:01]
GOALS.UM, GRANTED THAT THESE ALL CATEGORIES ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND WITHIN THOSE, I MEAN, SOME OF THEM ARE MORE EXTENSIVE AND OTHERS LIKE THE ADDRESSING HOMELESS ISSUE.
THERE'S ONLY LIKE TWO BULLET POINTS THERE, BUT IF POSSIBLY, UM, EACH ONE THAT WE GO THROUGH, WE PICK OUR MAIN FOCUS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE ALL OF THEM KIND OF GO THROUGH.
AND LIKE I SAID, SOME OF THEM, SOME GOALS ARE GOING TO BE SO EASY AND QUICK TO REACH WHILE OTHERS ARE NOT, THEY TAKE MORE TIME, BUT AGAIN, THEY INTERLINK WITH EACH OTHER.
UM, THAT BEING SAID, I DUNNO IF THAT'S A POSSIBILITY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO ALL GO THROUGH DIFFERENT THINGS.
AND YOU KNOW, MY, MY ISSUE IS OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC SAFETY AND, AND I THINK OUR, WE COULD REVISIT THEM WEEKLY OR MONTHLY AS NEEDED.
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO HARD TO NOT JUST SAY ALL OF THEM, BUT, UM, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY JUST IN GENERAL, THE FIRST THINGS YOU'D LIKE CITY STAFF TO TARGET WELL, UM, EVEN IF IT DOES KIND OF THE, OF COURSE, PUBLIC SAFETY POLICE AND FIRE, WE, UM, THE HOMELESS ISSUE AND WHICH WILL BRING UNION STATION IN REGARDS TO ADDRESSING SOME OF THE HOUSING THAT I LAST RECOMMENDED WITH THEM TO LOOK INTO THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX WITH RESIDENTS HOUSING, INSTEAD OF JUST A, YOU KNOW, LIKE AS YOU MENTIONED, LIKE A ONE, ONE BUILDING, UM, ENHANCING CITY IMAGE AND EFFECTIVENESS.
I MEAN, THAT IS KEY IN REGARDS TO ALL OUR BUILDINGS.
WE WANT TO PUT THINGS TO PAR, UM, THAT I KNOW GOAL OF ITSELF THAT'S TOO MANY BUILDINGS, BUT THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IMPROVEMENTS ON THAT THOSE ARE GOOD STARTING POINTS TO LOOK AT.
SO HOMELESSNESS, PUBLIC SAFETY, JUST GOING ONE THROUGH THREE ALL THE WAY THROUGH, I'M JUST SITTING KEY POINTS.
UM, THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONSHIP, THAT ONE, IT'S NOT, THAT'S REALLY JUST PUTTING IT TOGETHER WITH ANOTHER ONE.
UM, OF COURSE OUR FINANCIAL STABILITY, BUT I'VE ALSO MENTIONED IN THE PAST, UH, OUR WEBSITE IS JUST SO OUTDATED.
THAT ALONE IS A GOAL IN ITSELF AND THAT IF WE USE, IF WE FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY AND ALSO IMPROVING ALL THESE OTHER THINGS, I THINK THAT KIND OF ALSO HELPS.
UM, I KNOW A COUNSELOR ABOUT SOMEBODY MENTIONED LIKE THE, THE SPAN, UM, THE BULLETIN BOARDS, READERS WITH OTHERS, UH, ALL THOSE KIND OF INTERLINK WITH EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT, UM, THE WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY, UM, AND, UH, THE OTHERS, IT KIND OF FALLS IN LINE WITH THE OTHER THINGS, BUT YEAH, THOSE ARE MY FOCUS.
YEAH, WE'LL DRILL DOWN ON THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE NOW WE'LL GO TO MY LEFT COUNCILMAN WU OR COUNCILMAN .
WOULD YOU LIKE TO, UH, THANK YOU, MAYOR.
UH, I'D LIKE TO START, UM, WITH, UH, THE, THE MAYORS, UH, PRIORITY, I THINK, UH, FOR THE ENTIRE STATES, THE PRIORITIES IS NUMBER TWO.
THERE'S, THERE'S AN URGENCY THERE.
UH, THERE'S A, THERE'S A WANT TO, TO DO STUFF.
UH, AND I THINK, UH, THE CITIES AROUND US, I THINK THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY IS STARVING FOR IT.
AND, UH, SO I THINK THAT AS A PRIORITY AND WE'VE ALREADY ESTABLISHED UNION STATION WAS GOING TO COME WITH SOME IDEAS.
UH, AND AGAIN, WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH SENATOR SUSAN RUBIO'S OFFICE.
SO I THINK WE CAN REALLY LEVERAGE AND DO, DO SOME REALLY BIG THINGS ON NUMBER TWO.
UH, THE, THE, THE OTHER ONE, UH, AGAIN, NOT NUMBER, NUMBER THREE.
I THINK, UH, YOU KNOW, GALSTER PARK HAS, HAS BEEN, UH, UH, SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO REVITALIZE.
UH, AND I KNOW, UM, COUNCIL WOMEN, UH, LOPEZ V AUTO AND, UH, MAYOR PRO TEM DIAZ.
AND I HAVE FOCUSED ON THE SKATE PARK AS WELL AS, AS, UH, AN OPPORTUNITY.
AND I'VE TALKED WITH, UH, ROXANNE ABOUT IT.
AND, UM, I THINK WE, THERE THERE'S A REAL OPPORTUNITY.
THERE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY WITH THE OLYMPICS, UH, COMING AND, AND MONEY AVAILABLE FOR THE SKATE PARK BECAUSE IT IS AN OLYMPIC EVENT.
UH, I KNOW THAT THE EDGEWOOD POOL ACROSS THE STREET IS GOING TO BE HOSTING A, AN OLYMPIC TEAM.
SO, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT COULD BE A CENTER SPACE.
UH, AND SO, UH, NUMBER THREE, AND I BELIEVE THE WEBSITE, WHICH WE'VE BEEN PUSHING, AND WE, I THINK WE WERE TOLD THAT, UH, WE HAD, UH, SOME CONTRACTS THAT, THAT WAS GOING TO TAKE THAT OVER.
SO, UH, DEFINITELY, UM, NUMBER THREE, AS A PRIORITY.
AND, AND LAST, I THINK WE WE'VE REALLY SPOKEN ABOUT THAT MALL, UH, THAT GLENDORA AREA.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE BUILDING ON CAMERON, UM, YOU KNOW, EMINENT IS, IS BUILDING AND, AND SO THAT WHOLE AREA IS, IS THERE'S GOING TO BE PEOPLE, UH, THERE'S GOING TO BE NEW RESIDENTS.
UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO REALLY, UM, JUST
[01:55:01]
BOOST THE CITY.UH, I THINK IF WE CAN GET THAT, THAT MALL RIGHT, AND MOVING, UH, WE CAN GET THAT GLENDORA AREA MOVING.
UM, WE HAVE THE HDK MARKET, RIGHT.
AND, AND IF WE LOOK BACK ON THE OLD GENERAL PLAN, THEY, THEY POINTED AT THAT AREA AND IT SEEMS THAT AREA KEEPS POPPING UP.
SO, UH, I BELIEVE THAT'S ITEM, UH, SEVEN.
UH, SO, SO THOSE WOULD, THOSE WOULD BE, BE MINE TWO, THREE, AND SEVEN.
IT'S ABOUT TO BUY A COUNCILMAN WU.
I THINK EVERYTHING IS SO DOABLE IS A WILLINGNESS TO DO IT.
BECAUSE ZOL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT DEVELOPMENT IS OKAY.
AND THE PARK AND THE PUBLIC WORK, THE LASER WAS THEN DEPARTMENT.
AND THEN WE HAVE A POLICE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE FIREFIGHTER DEPARTMENT, THEY ALL DOABLE.
SO WE HAVE SO MANY STAFF AND SO MANY, AND THE, WE SHOULD ALL WORK IN THE SAME TIME.
SO WE EQUALLY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR PRIORITY AND THE OLDEST TWO OF US.
SO RATHER THAN JUST TALK THIS AND THAT, WE NEED TO EXECUTE.
WITHOUT EXECUTION, WE JUST BASICALLY WASTING OUR TIME TALKING ABOUT GO, OKAY.
I THINK I'LL GO, IS TO IMPROVE THE CITY AND HOW WE TO IMPROVE IT IS TO MAKE THE THING HAPPEN IS MEANING ACTION.
WHEN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A ARTICLE SEND OUT, OKAY, IT'S THE BUDGET.
THIS AND THAT, BECAUSE WE, I THINK WE ARE, WE TALK ABOUT THIS LAST, LAST YEAR.
SO, SO ALL THESE THINGS, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT GLENDORA VITALIZATION, AND WE TALK ABOUT LAND AND THIS OBJECTION IS WE, WE ELLIS, WE KIND OF ROUTINE SURVEY TO PUT LIE ON THOSE TREE.
SO AT LEAST A NIGHTTIME DOESN'T LOOK SO EERIE.
SO THEY'LL MAKE SOMETHING SMALL, DOABLE FIRST, YOU, BECAUSE YOU SAY, OH, WE NEED TO WAIT FOR THE BUDGET TO WE, WE, WE REMODEL THE ENTIRE STREET IS IMPOSSIBLE.
AND THEN, SO, BUT SOMETHING SMALL, WE CAN DO IT.
FOR EXAMPLE, MAKE THE TREE OKAY.
AND NIGHTTIME, SO TREE OR LIT.
IT FEEL INVITING AND NIGHTTIME PEOPLE WILLING TO GO OVER THERE ENJOYING THOSE FIELDS.
AND WE HAVE A HARRIS BEGETS ALREADY THERE, AND THEN WE HAVE A MALL POSSIBLE.
SO HOW CITY K UNDER TO DO SOMETHING.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY THOSE BUSINESS ARE WILLING TO PUT A BID IS, IS OKAY.
AND THEN THEY CAN HIRE MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY AGAIN, THE SHOPPING MALL.
SO THEY NEED TO PITCH INTO CT WILL TAKING CARE OF THE STREET.
AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, OKAY.
AND THE THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY NIGHT, WE HAVEN'T FOUND THE TIME, BUT WE ARE, WE TALKING ABOUT THAT CITY WILLING TO DO A LOT OF THING.
AND TO GET STUDYING, ROLLING TO SOMETHING BIG, YOU, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD ROME IN ONE DAY, BUT WE CAN BUILD SLOWLY, ALL DO A BOTH IN.
SO, SO THERE'S, AND REGARDING PUBLIC SAFETY, PUBLIC SAFETY, WE NEED TO KNOW THE POLICE WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO BRING BACK THE OVER OVERLAY SHIPS.
SO HOW CAN WE HAVE A MORE, UH, PATROL ON THE STREET? AND SO EACH DEPARTMENTS YOU GIVE US THEIR GO, WHAT? THEY CAN IMPROVE THEIR SERVICE, EACH DEPARTMENT OF OUR CITY TO SHUT TELL US WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR US.
TO DO FOR THE TAXPAYER, PAY THEM THE SALARY.
SO WE WANT TO KNOW, OKAY, WHAT DOES CAN BE EXECUTED AND CAN TO IMPROVE OUR SERVICE 17 TO A FIRE DEPARTMENT, TWO AT THE SAME TIME CITY WHERE PUSH TO BUILD A STATION, NUMBER ONE.
AND WE NEED TO SELL THAT LAND SO WE CAN HAVE MONEY AND A WAY TO BUILD A THING.
SO, SO ALL THESE THINGS ALL HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME.
AND THEN WHAT I SAY, ALL THIS CAN BE DONE.
AND I ONLY WANT THIS TO BE DONE YESTERDAY.
I KNOW HE'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SO ELLIS.
WE CAN FINISH ALL THESE THING THIS YEAR.
AND IT WAS REGARDING A HOMELESS.
WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT HOW TO EXECUTE AS A QUEUE IS WE, WE BRING, OKAY.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, TO SOMEBODY JUST TEXT ME AND SAY, HEY, OKAY, LASA HAS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE.
IF THEY CAN BE ACCOUNTABLE, WE DON'T HAVE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ACCOUNTABLE AND NOBODY CAN CONTROL THEM.
AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HELP US WITH ANYTHING.
THE ONLY WAY WE CAN DO IS WE HAVE TO HELP OURSELF.
AND SO WE HAVE, WE CAN PRINT THE UNION STATION AND THAT WAS ALL CONSOLIDATE OF ALL THIS AGENCY AND PUT IT TOGETHER.
AND WE STARTED DOING THE COUNT AND STARTING TO INDIA THING.
HOPEFULLY EARLY OF THE YEAR AND TO SEE HOW CAN WE HELP SO THINGS.
SO, SO I THINK THE CONCLUSION IS, IS OKAY, ACTION.
IS BETTER THAN THE VOCABULARY ON THE WARD.
AND THERE'S STUDYING, PUT A SLIP UP AND STARTING WORK.
AND TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN IN OUR CITY.
THIS IS WHAT MY SUGGESTION IS.
I'M NOT GOING TO CHOOSE 1, 2, 3.
LET'S GET THE WHOLE THING HAPPEN.
[02:00:01]
I JUST WANTED US TO NOT ALL INDIVIDUALLY GO THROUGH EACH BULLET POINT.I AGREE THAT THE ENTIRE LIST IS IMPORTANT AND THERE'S EVEN STUFF THAT'S NOT ON HERE.
LIKE OUR, UM, FAILED BUS SERVICES.
UM, ELON MUSK, ONCE FAMOUSLY SAID, IF YOU GIVE YOURSELF 30 DAYS TO CLEAN YOUR HOME, IT'LL TAKE YOU 30 DAYS.
IF YOU GIVE YOURSELF THREE HOURS, IT'LL TAKE YOU THREE HOURS.
UM, SO WE, WE CAN AND SHOULD AS COUNCILMAN WUHAN, COUNCILWOMAN, UH, LOPEZ V AUTO MENTIONED, WE CAN AND SHOULD MAKE ALL OF THESE, UM, CONSECUTIVE GOALS, NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE WITH THAT BEING SAID, UH, ANY, ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS TOPIC JUST, UH, WANT TO WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT COUNCILMAN WU SAID? UH, YOU KNOW, THE, THE IDEA OF A BID FOR THAT GLENDORA AREA? UH, YOU KNOW, I TH I THINK WOULD BE A WONDERFUL IDEA, UH, AND I'M OVERDUE LONG OVERDUE.
AND, UH, AND I, AND, AND, UM, I THINK THEY'RE READY FOR IT.
UH, SPEAKING WITH SOME OF THOSE BUSINESS OWNERS, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE READY FOR IT.
SO IN THAT CASE, PAULINA, IT WOULD, THAT WOULD BE YOUR TASK.
I KNOW, YOU KNOW THEM, SO, AND THE YOUTH HAVE BEEN IN THE CITY FOR 18 YEARS, SO YOU'VE BEEN DOING THE COMMUNITY OKAY.
CAN THAT RECRUIT THEM, TELL THEM THIS BENEFIT TO THEM, BENEFITED THEM.
AND IF THEY'RE COMPLAINING OKAY.
ABOUT THIS AND THAT, THEN, THEN HELP.
NOT EVERYBODY PAY A LITTLE BIT MONEY AMOUNTS AND I'LL PUT TOGETHER, THEN WE CAN WORK WITH THE, OKAY.
AND THE THEATER, THEY HAVE THEIR WAY TO HAVE A SECURITY SO THAT THEY HAVE DISAGREED SECURITY WORK TOGETHER.
THEN MORE PEOPLE WERE WILLING.
AND OUR CITY POINT OF VIEW IS WE NEED TO KIND OF ENTICE, OKAY.
THE, WHEN I WAS KIND OF A DARK YEAR, I SAID SO MANY TIMES, BUT IF YOU WALK UP THIS, THINK ABOUT THIS, JUST HAVE A LIE ON THOSE TREE.
IT REALLY PRETTY ON THE STREET, VERY ROMANTIC.
AND WE REALLY HOPE THAT THE FAMILY AND THEY CAN WALK THE DOG AND GO OVER THERE AND JOIN SOME OF THE FEW AND SERVICE OR SELL, HOPEFULLY WITH ALL THIS KIND OF, UH, ACTION.
UH, WE CAN IMPROVE GRADUALLY BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE CT CHANGING.
WE CLEAN IT UP THE CT, WE HAVE, UH, MORE CONFIDENCE AND PEOPLE WILLING TO COME OUT AND TO HELP EACH OTHER.
AND WHAT'S THAT? OH, CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? YEAH.
I THINK YOU MENTIONED, I HAVE BEEN WITH THE CITY QUITE A FEW YEARS AND THAT SOMETHING, EVEN BACK IN REDEVELOPMENT DAYS, THAT WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRANSFORM GLENDORA AVENUE INTO A, A TRADITIONAL MORE TRADITIONAL DOWNTOWN FOR THE CITY.
AND, UM, THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT AND REDEVELOPMENT TO, TO DO THAT.
IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH, THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO REDESIGN GLENDORA AVENUE.
UM, BUT DEFINITELY I THINK A BID WOULD BE A GREAT, UH, ASSET IN TRANSFORMING THAT AREA AND GETTING STAKEHOLDERS TO, TO REINVEST IN THE COMMUNITY IN THAT AREA.
AND THE WE DEVELOPMENT OR GONDOLA DURING THE 2017 HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THREE, TWO, BUT OKAY.
AND THE MEETING IS, HAS BEEN SUSPENDED BY ME CLARIFIED.
THE BOND DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE MONEY.
DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE IS STILL APPROVED.
IT JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY BECAUSE HE'S GOT TO CALL CITY $10 MILLION TO BUILD A PARK.
AND THE, AND THE OVER THERE AND THE, YOU DO NOW HAVE A MAINTENANCE.
YOU DO NOW HAVE A SECURITY AND YOU DO NOT HAVE A NICE PROPERTY SURROUNDED.
THEN YOU, NOBODY WILL REMODEL YOUR FRONT YARD AND THE DON'T REMODEL YOUR HOME FIRST BECAUSE THEY TELL YOU IF YOU USE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO REMODEL YOUR HOME.
YOU COULD DESTROY THE FRONT YARD AT THE SAME TIME.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SECURITY, YOU DON'T HAVE, UH, OKAY.
AND THE MAINTENANCE, THEN YOU WILL BECOME LIKE OUR POWER.
SOME OF THE POWER BECOME HOMELESS HEAVEN.
SO, SO THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUE.
LEAD THE BUSINESS OVER THERE, HAVE TO START TO SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO TO HELP THEMSELVES.
BUT AT THE MEANTIME, ELIZ, WE CAN KIND OF CLEAN UP THE CT, DO SOME DECORATIONS, SOMETHING, OKAY.
AT LEAST ENTICING, NOT GOING TO COST US $10 MILLION.
AND DO SEEING ALL THE PARKING SPACE.
AND THEN THE TIME WE REQUEST, WE THINK ONE THING IS WE MUST HAVE AN ANCHOR.
WE MUST HAVE A CROWN AND WE MUST HAVE A BID.
AND WE LOVE THOSE THREE AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET THEIR MONEY AT ALL BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO WASTE THE CITY.
HE MIGHT'VE HAD TOLD ME IN DOLLARS, ED TOLD ME DOLLARS, OR OUR GUESTS TEXT MONEY WILL FIX.
SO MEANING YOU ONLY HAVE THOSE MONEY YOU WANT TO USE IN THE REPAID, THE STREET, OR YOU WANT
[02:05:01]
TO DO A POTENTIAL, JUST A PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND LOSING THE PARKING LOT.PEOPLE HAVE TO REALLY THINK INTUIT AND BY THE WAY, AT THE END AND THAT TIME WITH THEIR PROJECT AND THEY TALK ABOUT CHANGING THE NAME OF THE GLENDORA.
SO WHEN PEOPLE SAY NO, THEN NOT TRUE.
AND THE NAME CHANGED TO, WE HAVEN'T DECIDED WHAT NAME OKAY.
AND SO, SO IN THE FUTURE, THEY CAN STILL BRING BACK BECAUSE CONDURA IS A CITY AND OUR DOWNTOWN, OUR DANTE IN GLENDORA.
SO WE NEED TO HAVE A SINKING ABOUT POT NAM, ATTRACT TOURISM AND PEOPLE TO BE PROUD OF IT.
THERE IS A, WE ARE GOING, I'M GOING TO GO IN DORA, OKAY.
THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO ANOTHER CITY.
SO, SO IT'S VERY CONFUSING AND THAT WE UNDERSTAND SOLID BUSINESS, WORRY ABOUT CHANGING STATIONARY, THIS AND THAT, BUT MAYBE WE CAN DO SOME OTHER WAY TO INCREASE THE REVENUE AND WE CAN GIVE THEM SOME SUBSIDIZE TO HELP THEM TO DOING THAT.
BUT, BUT ALL THE THINGS WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE BUSINESS OWNER, THE PROPERTY OWNER, OVER THEIR WILLINGNESS TO HELP THEMSELVES.
THEY HAVE TO HELP THEMSELF AS YES.
BUT, UM, WELL WITH THAT, ANY FURTHER COMMENTS ON THIS, OR DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION.
SO I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR CASTELLANO'S AND A SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM DIAZ, COUNCIL MEMBER TABATA BY COUNCILMAN WU.
IN ADDITION, THANK YOU, COUNCIL WOMAN, LOPEZ VITA.
I PUT MINE AS A LITTLE AD STRATEGY TO IT, TO AN EXECUTION, BUT YES, MAYOR PRO TEM DIAZ.
I MAYOR CUSTOM ON US PASSES FIVE ZERO WITH THOSE, UH, ADDITIONAL DIRECTIVES GIVEN BY COUNSEL.
UH, WE WILL EXPECT A TIMELINE AND STRATEGY.
AND WHAT WAS THE THIRD ONE? YOU SAID EXECUTION.
