THERE'S A LOT OF ENCAMPMENTS ALONG THE RAIL LINES.
AND WE PROBABLY AVERAGE, I WOULD SAY MAYBE TWO TO FIVE PEOPLE A MONTH GETTING KILLED ON THE RAIL LINES AND BECAUSE OF MENTAL ILLNESS.
SO HOPEFULLY WE GET SOME FEDERAL MONEY AND WE CAN SORT OF CORRECT THOSE PROBLEMS, THE LATINO CAUCUS, NOTHING TO REPORT THE LEAGUE OF CITIES, LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE NUTS AND REPORT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, NOTHING TO REPORT AND THEN SCAG ALSO NOTHING TO REPORT.
UM, NOTHING REALLY TO REPORT OF A SIGNIFICANCE IS, UM, YOU CAN IMAGINE, UM, LOTS OF PUBLIC SPEAKERS STILL ON CONCERNED PARENTS REGARDING VACCINATIONS AND SO FORTH, BUT I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE PARENTS THAT DO HAVE QUESTIONS TO, UM, YOU KNOW, WATCH THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS, LOOK AT THE FINAL VOTING, UM, THAT LOTS OF RUMORS FLY AROUND.
SO AT THIS POINT, UM, TEACHERS HAVE TO TEST WEEKLY IF THEY'RE NOT VACCINATED, SO THERE'S NOT MANDATORY VACCINATION.
SO JUST, YOU KNOW, KIND OF TAKE A STEP BACK AND DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AS A PARENT WITH THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
UM, THE ONE QUESTION, YOU KNOW, I HAD A QUESTION FOR JONATHAN ABOUT MOBILE REC.
UM, DO WE PROMOTE MOBILE REC TO THIS SCHOOL SITES? UM, I KNOW IT SWITCHES THE LOCATIONS, BUT LIKE WHEN IT SAYS LIKE CHAPARRAL, DO WE REACH OUT TO THE PRINCIPAL AND LEAVE FLYERS THERE FOR THE PARENTS TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT MOBILE REC? WELL, CHAPARRAL'S UNIQUE IN ITSELF BECAUSE, UH, WE'RE LITERALLY THERE, UH, UH, THE PARKSIDE, WHICH IS OF COURSE ADJACENT TO THE SCHOOL, ALL THE REST OF OUR LOCATIONS ARE KIND OF, SO TO SPEAK STRATEGICALLY PLACED, BUT, UH, NOT AS CONVENIENT, I WILL SAY AS, UM, THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION I KNOW THERE IS REACH OUT THAT WE DO TO SCHOOLS TO LET THEM KNOW, UM, THAT WE HAVE THOSE SERVICES AVAILABLE.
SO, UM, CERTAINLY I'LL, UH, CHECK WITH STAFF JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COVERING OUR BASES BECAUSE THAT'S A GREAT PROGRAM AND A LOT OF SCHOOLS, UH, MS. MORAN, I THINK WHILE WE'RE TALKING TO SCHOOL, UH, SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, I THINK OUR COACH SHOWED UP,
[00:40:01]
COME IN, YOU CAME ALL THIS WAY.YOUR STUDENTS ARE GONE THOUGH.
WE JUST, YOU KNOW, IT WAS AN HONOR TO, TO HONOR YOUR A YEAR STUDENTS.
SO IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND JUST TELLING US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE YEAR AND ALL OF THE GREAT STUFF THAT THEY DID WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN SOLAR CUP AND, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THE KIDS, YOU JUST BEING REMOTE, UH, AND, UH, NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE EACH OTHER, THEY FOUND WAYS.
UH, AND SO, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY IMPROVISED, UH, THEY GOT CREATIVE, UH, AND THEY JUST STARTED COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS KNOW DISCORD IS, BUT, UH, IT IS A TEENAGERS ALL USE THIS QUARTER.
THEY STARTED TALKING ON DISCORD, UH, YOU KNOW, COMMUNICATING, UH, SENDING FILES TO EACH OTHER AND, UH, JUST REALLY, YOU KNOW, PULLING THINGS TOGETHER.
AND SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF THEM.
UH, AND THEY STILL STAYED POSITIVE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
AND WE, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE LIKE MAYBE 25, 26 KIDS RIGHT NOW, UH, REALLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT JOINING SOLAR CUP, SOLAR BOAT, UH, ON CAMPUS.
AND IT'S A LITTLE MAD, IT'S A LITTLE CRAZY ON CAMPUS, BUT, UH, THEY'RE STILL FINDING WAYS TO BE, UH, YOU KNOW, INVOLVED AND, UH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE HUNGRY, SO WE'RE EXCITED FOR THEM.
SO IT HAS YOUR CERTIFICATE, UM, THE KIDS TOOK IT.
AS LONG AS THE KIDS WERE, YOU KNOW, RECOGNIZED.
UM, BUT YEAH, AS LONG AS THE KIDS WERE RECOGNIZED, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
WELL THAT WE'LL MOVE ON TO COUNCIL MEMBER, PETER ROGERS, WATER FACILITIES, AUTHORITY, BOARD WFA.
WFA IS OUR STATE WATER COMING DOWN, AND THEN WE TRADE IT AND DISTRIBUTE IT TO THE MEMBER AGENCIES, INCLUDING CHINO HILLS, OBVIOUSLY JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
IT SEEMS THAT THE MEETING WAS FAIRLY BRIEF.
WE VOTED ON SOME EQUIPMENT PURCHASES AND WE HAD A REPORT FROM OUR AUDITOR ON YEAR END 2000, 2001.
AND THEN WE HAD A SMALL CLOSED SESSION, BUT WFA DOES IS THE STATE WATER.
SO THEY'RE TRYING TO EDUCATE US MORE AND MORE ON THE FACT THAT WE ARE ENTERING IN AN EXTREME DROUGHT CONDITIONS.
AS OF NOW IN LAKE OROVILLE AND LAKE MEAD ARE AT HISTORIC LOWS.
AND THOSE, THOSE RESOURCES FROM WATER OROVILLE IS WHERE SOME OF OUR WATER COMES FROM.
UM, SO THE OUTLOOK IS BLEAK AT THE MOMENT, PRAY FOR WATER OR FOR RAIN OVER THE NEXT, UH, EIGHT MONTHS, SIX MONTHS, IF NOT NEXT SUMMERS DISCUSSIONS STARTING IN THE SPRING TIME ARE GOING TO BE A LOT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW, AS FAR AS, UH, DROUGHT CONDITIONS AND HOW WE REDUCE OUR WATER USAGE.
SO MORE TO COME, BUT WE'RE TRACKING IT CLOSELY THAT WFA, THAT'S IT.
ERICA, MAY I HAVE A COMMENT TO PETER? YES, SIR.
I JUST WANT TO SAY TAKEN, I KNOW STEVE'S HERE TODAY ON RECYCLED WATER.
IF WE DIDN'T HAVE RECYCLED WATER, WE'D REALLY BE FOR SURE.
SO, AND IT, IT, IT, WE ALWAYS WISH IT WAS THE LARGER PROPORTION OF, UH, RECYCLED WATER THAT WE COULD UTILIZE SUCH AS CARBON CANDY.
WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS RECYCLED FOR, LET'S SAY WESTERN HILLS GOLF COURSE, ET CETERA, BUT IT'S, UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE USE SPECIFICALLY, BUT IT'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT AND IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE PARKWAYS, UH, TH SOME OF THE GRASS AROUND, UH, MILLIONS OF GALLONS.
THAT'S ALL THE PURPLE PIPE YOU SEE? YEP.
WELL, THE LAST QUESTION, YES, SIR.
TO THE CITY MANAGER, UH, THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, UM, HILLTOP, I THINK IT'S CALLED, DO THEY HAVE PURPLE WATER OR RECYCLED WATER, UH, DEVELOPMENT? WOULD YOU KNOW THAT KNOW, OH, NO, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK TO OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.
I DON'T KNOW IF HE OR JOE AND AGAIN, I'M SORRY.
I CALL YOU GUYS AND GIVE YOU A HEADS UP.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH PROJECT I DIDN'T? I DIDN'T HEAR WHICH, WHICH PROJECT THAT THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, CARBON CANYON, HILLCREST HILLCREST CYCLE SACRUM, BLACK WATER, RECYCLED WATER, CARBON CANYON.
AND AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD TAKE IF WE CAN GET GRANTS OR WHATEVER STEVE'S HERE.
UM, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE, YOU'VE MADE A GOOD POINT WITH WESTERN HILLS GOLF COURSE.
THAT'S PROBABLY OUR BIGGEST WATER, UH, USER, AND IT'D BE NICE IF WE COULD EVER GET A RECYCLE WATER THERE.
[ COUNCIL COMMENTS]
MOVING ON TO COUNCIL COMMENTS, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER BENNETT.UH, FIRST I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE FACT THAT THERE'S NO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE A REPORT THIS WEEK, BECAUSE I JUST GOT REASSIGNED BACK ONTO IT.
SO I WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE MEETING LAST WEEK AND THE FIRE
[00:45:01]
DISTRICT, THE WAY WE'VE HAD OUR MEETINGS RECENTLY WITH THERE BEING YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY SHOWING UP AND, OR HAVING A MEETING UNTIL AFTER OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A REPORT LAST ONE, BUT NOT THIS ONE.SO THAT'S JUST HOW THAT KIND OF GOES.
BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'RE, WE'VE GOT OUR FINGER ON THE PULSE OF WHAT'S GOING ON, AND WE GOT TO TALK A LOT ABOUT THE FIRE DISTRICT TONIGHT.
SO, AND THE CHAMBER IS DOING WELL.
UH, THEY, UH, THEY HAD THEIR BUSINESS EXPO OVER THE WEEKEND AND I UNDERSTAND IT WAS WELL ATTENDED.
SO, BUT AS FAR AS REGULAR COMMENTS GO, UH, YOU KNOW, WITH ALL THIS GOING ON IN THIS WORLD RIGHT NOW AND IN OUR NATION, I THINK PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS NEEDS TO STEP BACK AND THINK FOR ONE MOMENT ABOUT ALL OF OUR BLESSINGS, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE POLICE CHIEF HAD JUST ATTENDED A, UH, A CLASS OR, OR CON CONFERENCE THAT INVOLVED A LOT OF THE NORTHERN COUNTIES.
AND IN RELAYING TO US, SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE, IT JUST POINTS TO ONE THING.
OUR CITY AND OUR COUNTY IS WELL RUN.
WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE THE SAFETY THAT WE HAVE, THAT A LOT OF THE CRIME IS, UH, NOT IT'S ON OUR BORDERS, BUT IT'S NOT UNMANAGEABLE.
AND THE FACT THAT WE PROVIDED THE, UH, AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS HAS BEEN A GREAT TOOL TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO HELP CATCH CRIMINALS.
AND WE'VE BEEN CATCHING THEM LITERALLY WEEKLY.
SOMETIMES THERE'S TWO AND THREE IN A DAY.
SO, UH, JUST WANTED TO HAVE EVERYBODY TAKE A TIME TO REFLECT ON JUST HOW BLESSED WE ARE TO LIVE IN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.
AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, KUDOS TO, TO MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS AND PRIOR COUNCILS, BECAUSE I THINK THAT FISCALLY, WE ARE IN REALLY GREAT SHAPE.
UH, WE ENJOY A POSITION THAT NOT MANY CITIES IN THE ENTIRE STATE AND NATION, UH, ARE ENJOYING.
SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S, UH, HATS OFF TO THE STAFF THAT HELPS MAKE THAT HAPPEN FOR US AND TO OUR CITY MANAGER AND OUR CITY ATTORNEY WHO KEEPS US OUT OF COURT, UH, EXCEPT FOR GOOD THINGS.
SO, BUT ANYWAY, I JUST WANT TO PASS THAT ON RIGHT NOW, CAUSE WE HAVEN'T REALLY, I THINK SAT DOWN AND THOUGHT AND THANKED EVERYBODY IS INVOLVED IN MAKING THIS SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE.
SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT.
COUNCIL MEMBER, BENNETT COUNCIL MEMBER MORAN.
COUNCIL MEMBER, ROGER, JUST A COUPLE OF, UH, THE CHAMBER EXPO YOU ALLUDED TO, IT DID ATTEND.
UH, CYNTHIA WAS THERE ALSO AND BRIAN WAS THERE.
IT WAS VERY WELL, VERY WELL DONE.
I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW, UM, I THINK IT'S JUST PEOPLE WANTING TO GET OUT AGAIN.
WE KEEP SAYING THAT MORE AND MORE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, BUT IT WAS VERY, VERY CROWDED AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY IN THE AM.
AND IT WAS WELL-RUN ZEB AND TEAM DID A GREAT JOB OF PUTTING IT TOGETHER AND HIGH-FIVES TO THEM FOR THE, TO THE CHAMBER.
AND IT GAVE HER NO A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES TO INTERACT WITH THE PUBLIC AND WITH AMONG EACH OTHER VERY WELL DONE.
UH, WINE WALK FOR THE FOUNDATION.
SHE KNOWS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION.
YOU'LL SEE THIS BECAUSE THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, IT WILL BE A DONE DEAL.
I'LL JUST FAIRWARNING, I'VE SAID IT BEFORE.
WE HAVE 1300 TICKETS FOR SALE.
OUR MORE GENERAL ADMISSION, WHICH IS A THOUSAND TICKETS WE'RE DOWN TO ABOUT A HUNDRED OR A HUNDRED AND CHANGE THE PRICE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO UP THAT LET LITTLE INCENTIVE BY NOW, OR IT'S GOING TO GO UP ON MONDAY.
I DON'T THINK THE TICKETS WILL BE THERE BY THE TIME THE PRICE GOES UP.
SO WE'LL HAVE 1300 PEOPLE AT THE WINE WALK ON OCTOBER NINE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT TIME.
UH, HOPEFULLY, UH, YOU HAVE TICKETS IF NOT GET THE GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS BECAUSE THEY'LL BE GONE AND WE'RE HOPING FOR GREAT WEATHER.
AND WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE GREAT PARTICIPATION FROM THE COMMUNITY AND IT'S KIND OF THE GO-TO PLACE THIS YEAR FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW, THIS EVENT AND ALL THE MONEY WILL GO BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY.
WE'LL W LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ON TRACK TO HAVE A RECORD YEAR AS FAR AS INCOME FROM THE WINE WALK.
SO I'M SURE I'LL SEE MOST OF YOUR FACES AT WINE WALK.
I KNOW SEVERAL OVER HERE THAT FOR SURE.
UH, JUST THAT'S IT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE EVENT, IT'S THE SOCIAL EVENT OF THE YEAR? IT IS VICE MAN MARQUEZ.
THANK YOU MR. MAYOR, BUT JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS REAL FAST.
FIRST OF ALL, MOST OF US ATTENDED LEAGUE OF CITIES SACRAMENTO.
THE CONVENTION CENTER HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
THIS WAS THE FIRST EVENT THAT WAS HELD THERE AT THE CONVENTION CENTER.
WHAT AN AMAZING FACILITY WE HAD, WELL OVER 1900 COUNCIL MEMBERS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA, A TENT, AND WE GOT A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION OUT OF THE CONFERENCE.
WILD WILDFIRE MITIGATION, YOU NAME IT.
[00:50:01]
THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY FOR ATTENDING.APPRECIATE THAT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS BOYS' REPUBLIC.
AND I'M GOING TO LOOK TO MY RIGHT HERE.
ARE WE WITH THAT TREATMENT PLAN? WE ARE CURRENTLY IN DESIGN.
WE SHOULD BE COMPLETED WITH DESIGN BY DECEMBER.
UM, AT THAT POINT WE WILL COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE DESIGN WE'LL REQUEST THE AUTHORITY TO SOLICIT BIDS.
UM, AND WE SHOULD HAVE A CONTRACT IN PLACE BY MARCH AT THE END.
WHY ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING THIS? WE WERE DOING THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE, UM, A CONTAMINANT IN OUR GROUNDWATER.
UH, IT'S A CONTAMINANT THAT'S BEEN IMPACTING THE CHINO VALLEY AMONG OTHER AREAS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
I WON'T EVEN BEGIN TO TRY TO PRONOUNCE THE, THE ACRONYM.
UM, BUT UM, THIS TREATMENT PLANT WILL, WILL ELIMINATE THIS, UH, THIS CONTAMINANT IT'LL THE TRIM PLANT WILL OPERATE SIMILAR TO A GIANT BRITA FILTER.
UH, THE ONE THAT YOU TYPICALLY HAVE IN YOUR HOME.
UM, SO RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE NOT UTILIZING ANY OF OUR OWN GROUNDWATER.
WE'RE NOT PUMPING ANY OF OUR WATER.
ALL OF OUR WATER WELLS ARE OFF, SO WE'RE HAVING TO IMPORT ALL OF OUR WATER.
SO ONCE WE GET THE SHIPMENT PLAN, UH, COMPLETED, UM, IT'LL, UH, WE'LL BE ABLE TO PUMP OUR WATER AND LEAD TO, UH, UH, UH, A COST BENEFIT TO OUR, TO OUR RESIDENTS.
AND THEN THE ISSUE ON THAT, ACTUALLY WE WERE BELOW THAT, THE LEVEL, BUT THEN THE STATE LOWER THAT LEVEL, AND THEN IT BECAME CORRECT.
UM, THE, THE CONTAMINANT HASN'T GROWN, UM, BUT THE STANDARDS HAVE CHANGED FROM THE WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD.
SO BECAUSE OF THAT, WE'RE, WE'RE HAVING TO CLEAN UP, CLEAN IT UP, ESSENTIALLY.
IT'S NOT JUST US, IT'S MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY COMMUNITIES, CORRECT? YES.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT IS ABOUT BLD AND I'M GOING TO CITY MANAGER.
UM, I'VE NOTICED THAT I'VE GONE BY THERE AND THE LIGHTS ARE ON, SO COVID, IS THAT STILL A PROBLEM THERE OR IS IT OPENING UP NOW? THANKS.
MATTERMARK HAS, UH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN THE ACTIVITY AT, UH, THE BIG LEAGUE DREAMS, UH, FACILITY FOR OUR RESIDENTS WHO MAY NOT KNOW, UH, THE PARK OVER IN THE VICINITY OF FAIRFIELD RANCH COMMUNITY IS, UH, A, UH, A PARK THAT'S OWNED BY THE CITY, BUT IT'S OPERATED BY A PRIVATE, UH, UH, ENTITY.
AND CURRENTLY THE COVERT REGULATIONS ALLOW US TO HAVE OUTDOOR SPORTS ACTIVITY THERE.
UH, I'M GOING TO ASK MY, UH, DESIGNATED HITTER, UH, JONATHAN MARSHALL, TO JUMP IN AND GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT MORE BACKGROUND THERE.
UH, BUT SPECIFICALLY, MAYBE JONATHAN, IF WE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROGRAMS THAT BLD OFFERS THERE, AND THEN MAYBE PARALLEL THOSE TO, UH, THE PROGRAMS WE HAVE SAY AT COMMUNITY PARK, WHICH IS A SIMILAR FACILITY.
WELL, TONIGHT I CAN'T BE A DESIGNATED HITTER, OR IF I'M REPRESENTING THE SAN FRANCISCO FIRST PLACE GIANTS.
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S GOING TO GO INTO YOUR PERSONNEL FILE, RIGHT? HATE TO SEE YOU GO OUT IN THE WILD CARD GAME.
IT'S BEEN NICE WORKING WITH JONATHAN.
UM, YEAH, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT MORE ACTIVITY AT BIGLY DREAMS OVER MORE RECENT TIME.
UM, RIGHT NOW FOR OUR CHINO HILLS ORGANIZATIONS, IT'S, UH, FOR THE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL ORGANIZATIONS, IT'S KIND OF THE OFF SEASON.
WE'LL KIND OF SAY, AND NOBODY OF COURSE KNOWS THAT BETTER THAN, UH, TWO OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS HERE, FORMER PRESIDENTS OF THEIR, UH, UH, LEAGUE.
BUT, UM, SO RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT OUR PONY BASEBALL ORGANIZATION.
THAT'S THERE A COUPLE OF NIGHTS DURING THE WEEK DURING PRACTICES AND SUCH.
AND THEN ALSO WE HAVE A CHINO HILLS GIRLS, FAST PITCH ORGANIZATION, THAT'S THERE AS WELL.
AND SO THANKFULLY THERE AREN'T, UH, UH, RULES THAT ARE PRECLUDING THEM FROM BEING THERE AT THE FACILITY.
I LIVE IN LA COUNTY, WE PLAY AT LONG BEACH LITTLE LEAGUE, AND WE'VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT NOW WHERE WE HAVE TO PROVIDE VACCINATION CARD PROOF.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT, THEN YOU HAVE TO SHOW WEEKLY TESTING THAT THE KIDS HAVE TAKEN.
SO THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN LA COUNTY.
HOPEFULLY THAT WON'T BE THE CASE IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, BUT, UM, HAS BEEN, HAD SAID AS FAR AS THE RESTRICTIONS AND SUCH GO, THERE'S NOTHING, AT LEAST AT THIS POINT, THAT'S PRECLUDING US FROM DOING SO, UM, OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE TAKING PLACE AT THE PARK OF COURSE, IS THE, UM, UM, THEY HAVE A LOT OF TOURNAMENTS THAT THEY ARE HOSTING RIGHT NOW.
UM, ON THE WEEKENDS, UH, YOU TRIP LET'S SAY BASEBALL ORGANIZATION, UM, AND THEY ALSO HAVE GIRLS AS WELL, A PLAY THERE.
I KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF LONG BEACH TEAMS THAT HAVE BEEN COMING OUT THIS DIRECTION AS WELL.
SO ANYWAYS, UM, SO THERE IS A LOT OF ACTIVITY THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.
AND, UM, I THINK IT WILL, UH, YOU KNOW, ONLY GET STRONGER, ESPECIALLY WITH THE ADULT SOFTBALL PROGRAM AS WELL.
AND THEN, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, AT LEAST FOR OUR FACILITIES, IT'S NOT BIGLY DREAMS IN PARTICULAR, BUT, UH, WE STILL HAVE A PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING SIGNS THAT WE HAVE A FRONT ENTRANCES TO OUR BUILDINGS AND SUCH AS TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE'S STILL LINGERING THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO BE WORRIED ABOUT AND SUCH, BUT, UM,
[00:55:01]
ALL GOOD OVER AT BLT.THE LAST, ACTUALLY TWO MORE THINGS.
THE LEAGUE TALKED ABOUT A BALLOT MEASURE THAT HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR WILL COME UP BECAUSE THE CITIES ARE BASICALLY LOSING ITS RIGHT ON DEVELOPMENT OR GENERAL PLAN ISSUES.
ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS PAST YEAR, WE HAVE USE SENSORY DWELLING UNITS THAT IS NO LONGER MANDATED BY, BY OUR CITY.
SO ANY PERSON THAT HAS A, A PROPERTY NOT IN THE FIRE OVERLAY COULD BUILD UP TO TWO ADDITIONAL UNITS ON A RESIDENTIAL HOME.
SO THERE'S A NEW THING THAT JUST PASSED AND IT WAS ACTUALLY SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR CALLED SB NINE.
SB NINE IS ANY RESIDENTIAL LOT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO TWO LOTS, AND EACH PORTION CAN BE DIVIDED INTO A DUPLEX.
SO IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER A GENERAL PLAN ANYMORE.
SO SACRAMENTO BASICALLY, THEY'RE MAKING ALL THESE RULES AND WE SORT OF HAVE TO COMPLY.
IT'S ALREADY, IT'S GOING TO BE LAW.
AND I KNOW JOANNE REALLY TRIED REALLY HARD.
WE MET WITH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND NOTHING HAPPENED.
SO ALL THE CITIES ARE GETTING DISAPPOINTED WITH STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR LEGISLATORS.
SO YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE A BALLOT MEASURE NEXT YEAR.
YOU'LL PLAY SEE LEAGUE OF CITIES PART WITH THIS.
THE COST FOR A BALLOT MEASURE IS VERY EXPENSIVE.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ALL THESE BIG LES, SUCH A SCAG, SUCH AS LEAGUE OF CITIES AND OTHER PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH A BALLOT MEASURE AND WHAT THE BALLOT MEASURES, WHAT WE WANT IS WE WANT THE CITY TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO BASICALLY COME UP WITH A GENERAL PLAN AND BE ABLE TO SAY, HEY, THIS IS THE WAY IT'S GOING TO BE CITIZENS IN OUR COMMUNITY ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO DEVELOP IN THE FUTURE.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A LOT ABOUT THIS IN THE FUTURE, IN THE NEAR, NEAR FUTURE AND WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT IT.
AND THEN THE LAST THING IS, I JUST WANT TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR POLICE CHIEF PROBABLY THREE WEEKS AGO WAS OUT HERE AT THE PARKING LOT AND THEY WERE JUST CHAOS SCHOOL TIME.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY YOU JUMPED ON BOARD.
JONATHAN MARSHALL, YOU HAD SIGNS OUT THERE AND YOU GUYS CONTROLLED THE TRAFFIC FLOW.
THE DAY I SAW IT, IT WAS, IT WAS HIDEOUS.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS.
SO, UH, I WAS GOING TO ASK, UH, MS. LOMBARDO, WOULD YOU MIND GIVING US A QUICK UPDATE ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN TOWN WITH REGARDS TO DEVELOPMENT AND IN THE LIKE, WELL, WE HAVE A FEW MAJOR PROJECTS THAT ARE ONGOING.
THE STORAGE DISTRICT IS JUST ABOUT COMPLETE.
THEY EXPECT TO OPEN IN DECEMBER.
SO, UM, IF ANYBODY'S DRIVEN BY, UM, YEAH, WE, WE, WE FEEL IT TURNED OUT WELL.
UH, THE HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS IS GOING TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION SOON.
THEY'RE FINISHING THE GRADING.
THEY SHOULD BE PUTTING STICKS UP.
UH, FAIRLY SOON WE HAVE SOME RESIDENTIAL INTO CONSTRUCTION, UH, LOW SLUGGOS IN, IN THE LOW SERRANO'S HAS JUST ABOUT DONE.
UH, THEY'RE THEY'RE FINISHING UP THEIR LAST UNITS, WHICH IS NICE.
THAT, THAT SITE'S BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR THEM, BUT THEY'RE JUST ABOUT THERE.
WE HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS, UM, IN THE, IN THE LOOP.
AND IN TERMS OF OUR COMMERCIAL CENTERS, I ASKED OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL WINSTON WOR TO RUN OUR OCCUPANCY AND WE'RE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD.
OVERALL, 91% OF OUR COMMERCIAL SPACES ARE RENTED EVEN GIVEN THE COVID.
SO A LOT OF THE BUSINESSES THAT DID GO OUT, FORTUNATELY, THEY'RE COMING BACK AND WE STILL HAVE OUR MAJOR CENTERS THAT DO NEED SOME RENOVATION.
UM, BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE THAT MOVING FORWARD WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
CAN I ASK HER ABOUT ONE AREA CHICK-FILET REDESIGN OF THE, UH, YES.
WE EMAILED THEM TODAY BECAUSE WE'RE EXPECTING THEM TO COME FORWARD WITH AN APPLICATION IN SEPTEMBER, BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD BACK YET.
IS IT VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE PRESENTED, BUT TWO ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO? YEAH, I THINK SO.
I THINK THEY, THEY HAD SOME ISSUES WITH SOME ADJACENT USES THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO CLEAR UP, BUT WHAT WE'LL SEE WHEN IT COMES IN.
I KNOW WE MENTIONED IT AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING, BUT TOMORROW IS THE FEAST DAY OF ST.
MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL WHO'S THE PATRON SAINT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.
AND TOMORROW IS THE BLUE MASK FOR ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICIALS.
PAUL, THE APOSTLE'S CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET.
IF YOU'RE IN A PUBLIC SAFETY WHERE YOU'RE A CEREMONIAL CLASS C AND IT IS OPEN TO ALL FAITHS, REGARDLESS OF, UH,
[01:00:01]
WELL, IT'S OPEN TO EVERYBODY.SO IF YOU'RE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT OR WANT TO SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT, PLEASE, UH, GO TOMORROW AT SIX FOR MASS.
AND WITH THAT, WE WILL BE A JOURNEY AND, AND MEMORY AND HOPE AND TRIBUTE AND HONOR OF THOSE WHO SERVE AND HAVE SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES AT HOME AND ABROAD THEIR SACRIFICE AND STRENGTH, PROTECT THE GOALS AND IDEALS THAT HAVE MADE THIS COUNTRY.
