[3. PROCLAMATION - Proclaiming October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month]
FIRST PRESENTATION ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT IS A PROCLAMATION FOR CLAIMING OCTOBER AS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH TO BE ACCEPTED BY D KETNER D WILL YOU JOIN THE MAYOR AT THE PODIUM, PLEASE? YES, LET ME SEE.I SEE A LOT OF PINK ON THE DIOCESE.
EVERY OCTOBER AMERICANS STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE WHO ARE BATTLING BREAST CANCER AND THOSE AT RISK OF BREAST CANCER, BREAST CANCER TOUCHES THE LIVES OF AMERICANS FROM EVERY BACKGROUND AND ACROSS EVERY COMMUNITY IN OUR NATION.
THIS YEAR MORE THAN 268,000 WOMEN AND 2,600 MEN WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER.
AND WE ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO RECOGNIZE THOSE WHO ARE BATTLING BREAST CANCER, AS WELL AS THE ONGOING EFFORTS OF THOSE DEAD, UH, DEDICATED ADVOCATES, RESEARCHERS, AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WHO STRIVE EVERY DAY TO DEFEAT THIS TERRIBLE DISEASE.
AND TO ACCEPT THIS PROCLAMATION AS LONG-TIME CHINO HILLS RESIDENT D KETNER D PLEASE.
WELL, HE SAID MOST OF MY STATS FOR ME, SO I'LL JUST TELL YOU, SO IT IS AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE TO ACCEPT THIS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH PROCLAMATION FROM THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.
I BELIEVE THERE'S PINS ON THE TABLE AND SOME, UH, INFORMATION ABOUT MAMMOGRAMS FROM POMONA VALLEY HOSPITAL AND ANOTHER BROCHURE ABOUT, UM, MAMMOGRAMS, MY BREAST CANCER AWARENESS, UH, JOURNEY BEGAN 20 YEARS AGO WHEN MY SISTER WAS DIAGNOSED BACK IN MASSACHUSETTS.
UM, I HAVE CHEERED BOTH OF THIS CHINO HILLS RELAY FOR LIFE.
I'VE DONE EVERY POSSIBLE JOB THERE POSSIBLY WAS FOR THE RELAY FOR LIFE.
THEN WE MOVED ON TO THE CHINO HILLS, MAKING STRIDES FOR BREAST CANCER, WHICH I ALSO CHAIRED AND DID MANY, UH, JOBS.
UM, IN ADDITION TO BEING THE FOUNDER OF A BREAST CANCER AWARENESS GOLF TOURNAMENT, ALL THE PROCEEDS ARE DONATED TO POMONA VALLEY HOSPITAL CANCER CENTER.
THE ORIGINAL GOLF TOURNAMENT WAS IN MASA RHINOS.
SO IT'S, UH, IT'S BEEN VERY CLOSE TO ME, UH, BREAST CANCER AND ALSO CHINO HILLS HELPING TO SUPPORT IT.
UM, SOMEONE DIES FROM CA UH, BREAST CANCER OR CANCER, EVERY 60 SECONDS.
MOST COMMON CANCER OF COURSE, IS BREAST CANCER.
THEY'RE DOCTORS AND SOCIETY BARELY ACKNOWLEDGED BREAST CANCER UNTIL THE LATTER HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY.
OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS, BREAST CANCER DEVELOPED PUBLIC SPHERE FOR A DISEASE RARELY DISCUSSED BEFORE THROUGH FEMINIST
[00:05:01]
MOVEMENT IN 1970S, PROMINENT WOMEN LIKE SHIRLEY TEMPLE AND JULIA CHILDS BEGAN SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH BREAST CANCER AFTER RED RIBBON SYMBOL OF SUPPORT FOR AIDS RESEARCH IN THE 1980S, ACTIVISTS FOCUSED ON GARNERING SUPPORT FOR BREAST CANCER RESEARCH.AND THUS THE PINK RIBBON WAS CREATED IN 1985.
OCTOBER WAS DESIGNATED BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND ASTRAZENECA, A LEADING MANUFACTURER OF ONCOLOGY DRUGS, WHICH I'M SURE YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH SOME INFORMATION, UH, THAT OUR MAYOR JUST GAVE US.
UM, 382,000 WILL BE DIAGNOSED BOTH THEN AND WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER.
AND AS HE SAID, 200, 2,650 NEW CASES OF INVASIVE BREAST CANCER IN MEN, 43,000 WILL DIE ABOUT 13% OR ONE IN EIGHT.
WOMEN WILL DEVELOP BREAST CANCER.
DEATH RATE IN WOMEN OVER 50 WITH BREAST CANCER HAS BEEN DECREASING ABOUT ONLY 1%, BUT AT LEAST IT'S DECREASE, UH, DECREASING DUE TO EARLY DETECTION.
THEREFORE IT IS MY ENCOURAGING YOU TO GO FOR YOUR MAMMOGRAM AND YOU CAN SEE THIS INFORMATION AND, UH, HELP SAVE OUR LIVES.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE PROCLAMATION.
SO LOVE TO HAVE YOU HERE TO HELP PROMOTE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS.
[4. PRESENTATION - Aerojet Cleanup and DTSC CEQA Initial Study update]
THE NEXT PRESENTATION ON OUR AGENDA IS THE AEROJET CLEANUP, N D T S C C CWA INITIAL STUDY UPDATE.WE'RE WAITING FOR THEM TO COME ON HOTLINE.
WE CAN START WITH THE INTRODUCTIONS.
I AM THE DTSC PROJECT MANAGER FOR ERA CHECK, AND THIS IS WHEN NEURONO HELLO, MY NAME, UH, I AM THE GEOLOGIST FOR DTSC WORKING ON THIS PROJECT PROJECT ONE MOMENT.
IT JUST RETURNED ME ON DUMB TOXICOLOGIST WITH THE HUMAN AND ECOLOGICAL RISK OFFICE AT DJC AND I'M THE PROJECT TOXICOLOGY.
I'M THE BRANCH CHIEF FOR DTSC CYPRUS OFFICE AND THE ARROW DEPOSIT FALLS WITHIN LIKE RIGHT PATRICK SHEA.
I AM A UNIT SUPERVISOR, UM, UNDER ED AND MY UNIT, WHICH INCLUDES PROPERTY MANAGING THIS PROJECT.
I'M ALSO LOPEZ AND I'M THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SPECIALIST UNDER THE OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL EQUITY WITH DTSC.
I MEAN, I'M CHERYL MAHONEY AND I'VE JUST SEEN HER ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER WORKING ON THE INITIAL STUDY FOR THIS PROJECT.
I WISH TO BEGIN BY PROVIDING A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE AEROJET FACILITY AS SHOWN IN THIS FIGURE.
THE FACILITY IS LOCATED SOUTHWEST
DTSC AND AEROJET AGREED THAT THE CORRECTIVE MEASURE STUDY BMS FOR SHORT
[00:10:01]
BE CONDUCTED IN TWO PHASES.AEROJET WAS DIVIDED INTO FOUR MANAGEMENT AREAS, M A FOR SHORT BASED ON PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND AREA YOUTH PHASE ONE FOCUSES ON MAY ONE AND TWO, WHICH ARE LIGHT BLUE AND YELLOW IN THE FIGURE ANIME ONE AND M A R L G PROPERTY AND NON AEROJET PROPERTY, RESPECTIVELY THAT WERE NOT USED TO TEST ORDINANCE AND ARE OUTSIDE THE INFLUENCE OF THE OPEN BURN OPEN DETONATION UNIT B O D UNIT FOR SHORT PHASE TWO IS FOR THREE AND FOUR M A THREE.
IS THERE A JET PROBABLY DO THAT? WE'LL USE THE TEST ORDINANCE AND IT MAY FOR IS NON AEROJET PROPERTY.
BOTH ARE SUCH AN EFFECTIVE DETONATION FROM THE O B O D UNIT AREA OF INFLUENCE OF THE O B O D UNIT IS THE OVAL DELINEATED BY THE RED DOTTED LINE.
THE O B O D UNIT IS THE DARK BLUE AREA IN THE CENTER OF THE OH WELL, AND IT WAS APPROVED FOR UNRESTRICTED USE IN 2009.
IT'S USEFUL TO THINK OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO, THIS WAY, PHASE ONE DEALS WITH AREAS NOT EFFECTED BY DETONATION OR TEST FIRING AND PHASE TWO DEALS WITH AREAS THAT WERE AFFECTIVE REQUIRING DIFFERENT EVALUATIONS FOR THE FINAL REMEDY.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE DGSE IS PROVIDING THIS PRESENTATION TO UPDATE THE CITY ON THE SECRET INITIAL STUDY AND STATEMENT OF BASIS, WHICH WERE BASED ON THE CMS AND THE RISK ASSESSMENT ORDINANCE REMOVAL WOULD TAKE PLACE AT APPROXIMATELY 20 ACRES AND WOULD BE CONSIDERED THE FINAL REALITY FOR PHASE ONE.
THE STATEMENT OF BASIS THAT INITIAL STUDY EXPLAINED THE BASIS SERVICE.
THIS FIGURE SHOWS A CLOSEUP OF THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF M A ONE, WHICH WAS PRIMARILY THE ADMINISTRATION AND MANUFACTURING AREA.
AND IT'S WHERE THE PROPOSED CLEANUP ACTION WOULD TAKE PLACE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS AREA OF EMINENT, ONE IS DIVIDED INTO NUMBERED SUBUNITS.
THE AREAS TO BE ADDRESSED ARE THE ORDINANCE VIEWS UNIT, THE AREA WEST OF BE HEI POND, OPERATION AREAS AND AREA FOUR.
AND UNSWEPT AREAS THAT AREAS SIX AREAS ARE OUTLINED BY BLUE DOTTED LINES IN THE SAVIOR.
THE FOLLOWING SLIDES WILL DISCUSS THE COMPREHENSIVE HUMAN HEALTH AND ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT.
PLEASE ANNOUNCE THAT
I WILL NOW TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO OUR PROJECT PROJECT COST TO COLLEGES IN SARMIENTO.
THANK YOU, ROBERT, AND GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.
IF I COULD SEE THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
NOW, THE FIRST STEP IN A RISK ASSESSMENT IS TO DEVELOP A CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL, WHICH I'LL DO IF I DO A CSM FOR SHORT, AND THE CSM IS BASED ON INFORMATION AND DATA THAT HAD BEEN COLLECTED AT THE SITE, SOME OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SUMMARIZED BY ROBERT IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.
SO THROUGH THE CSM, UH, WE ARE ABLE TO TRACK CONTAMINANTS FROM THE DIFFERENT SOURCES OR AREAS WHERE THEY WERE RELEASED TO WHERE THEY ARE PRESENT IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND HOW HUMANS AND WILDLIFE COULD BE EXPOSED TO THESE CONTAMINANTS.
AS REBECCA DESCRIBED EARLIER, WE ARE ADDRESSING THREE DIFFERENT SOURCES OF RELEASES OR MANAGEMENT AREAS, M A ONE TWO AND THREE, AND MAY ONE IS PROPERTY OWNED BY AND JET AND CONSISTS OF AN OCCUPIED BUILDINGS AND WASTE MANAGEMENT UNITS AND MADE TO OUR SURROUNDING PROPERTIES OWNED BY THIRD PARTIES.
AND THEY'RE PRIMARILY UNDEVELOPED OR AGRICULTURAL LAND.
AND
I COULD HAVE THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
NOW THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE THREE MANAGEMENT AREAS, HOW COMMON CONSTITUENTS OF INTERESTS OR COMMON CHEMICALS THAT WERE RELEASED.
THE EXCEPTION IS AMY TWO WE'RE IN, WE DID NOT SEE PERCHLORATE AND PESTICIDES BY THE NEXT SIDE PIECE.
THE DATA FROM THE INVESTIGATION SHOWS THAT A CONTAMINANTS WERE SN AND SOIL AND SURFACE WATER, AND CAN ALSO RELEASE PARTICULAR MBM AIR.
[00:15:01]
ESTIMATED HOW MUCH OF THE CONTAMINANTS BOUND TO SOIL PARTICLES COULD BE SOME WIND BLOWING OR DESPOILING NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.THE HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT EVALUATED THE EXPOSURE OF A COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL WORKER, A CONSTRUCTION WORKER INVOLVED WITH DIGGING OR EXCAVATION ACTIVITIES AND A FUTURE RESIDENT, WHICH AT THIS TIME IS HYPOTHETICAL.
SO ALTHOUGH ANYONE OF THESE AREAS MAY NOT REDEVELOPED INTO A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY, UH, EXPOSURES ASSOCIATED WITH A RESIDENTIAL SCENARIO ARE THE MOST CONSERVATIVE.
SO IT'S ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO INCLUDE THIS EVALUATION AND ERR, ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE, THE ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT EVALUATED EXPOSURES OF WILDLIFE, UH, THAT REPRESENTS EACH LEVEL IN THE FOOD CHAIN FROM THOSE THAT ARE DIRECTLY EXPOSED.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE BURROWING MAMMO AND ALL THE WAY TO THE HIGHER LEVELS OF FOOD CHAIN THAT ARE INDIRECTLY.
THOSE HAVE THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
SO HOW DO HUMANS AND WILDLIFE GET EXPOSED TO CONTAMINANTS? BOTH HUMANS AND WILDLIFE GET EXPOSED TO CONTAMINANTS IN INCIDENTAL INGESTION AND THROUGH A SKIN CONTACT INHALATION OF SPRINGBOARD PARTICULAR IS RELEVANT TO HUMAN EXPOSURE, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY A DRIVING FACTOR IN WILDLIFE.
SO, UM, ECOLOGICAL RECEPTORS, UH, EVALUATED FOR EXPOSURES THROUGH THE FOOD CHAIN WE'RE IN, UH, CONSUMPTION OF BREAD THAT WAS DIRECTLY EXPOSED TO THE CONSTITUENTS OF INTEREST WOULD BE A PATHWAY.
UH, THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, THE X-RAY SHOWS THAT THE ACCEPTABLE LEVELS OF RISK RANGE FROM ONE IN A MILLION TO ONE IN ONE IN 10,000, THIS DOES NOT MEAN ONE INDIVIDUAL IN A POPULATION OF 1 MILLION.
WE ARE ALL BEING EXPOSED TO DIFFERENT TYPES AND LEVELS OF CHEMICALS IN OUR ENVIRONMENT THAT COULD AFFECT OUR HEALTH.
IF AN INDIVIDUAL HAS EXPOSURE TO THE BEST DECIDED CONCENTRATION FROM
NOW, WHEN WE EVALUATE THE LIKELIHOOD OF HEALTH EFFECTS, OTHER THAN CANCER, LET'S SAY A DEVELOPMENT EFFECTS, THE RATIO BETWEEN WHAT AN INDIVIDUAL WAS EXPOSED TO AND THE CONCENTRATION THAT WOULD LEAD TO THAT PARTICULAR HEALTH EFFECT IS CALLED THE HAZARD INDEX.
THAT INDEX SHOULD NOT EXCEED ONE NOW FOR THE BIOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT, THE EVALUATION PARALLELS WHAT'S DONE IN EVALUATING HEALTH EFFECTS OTHER THAN CANCERS.
SO IT'S CALLED AN ECOLOGICAL HAZARD CAUTION, AND THAT ALSO SHOULD NOT EXCEED ONE, BUT THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
SO THE RESULTS OF THE RISK ASSESSMENT SHOWED THAT FOR ALL HUMAN RECEPTORS, THE INCREASE LIKELIHOOD OF CANCER DUE TO POTENTIAL EXPOSURES TO CONTAMINANTS RELEASED FROM LHS OPERATIONS WERE WELL BELOW ONE IN A MILLION.
AND IT HAS SAID INDICIS ARE ALL LESS THAN ONE.
THE ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT ALSO SHOWED THAT THERE ARE NO ADVERSE EFFECTS THAT ECOLOGICAL RECEPTORS DUE TO EXPOSURE TO CONTAMINANTS RELEASED FROM AEROJET OPERATIONS.
THEREFORE IT IS UNLIKELY THAT CONTAMINANTS FROM THESE THREE MANAGEMENT AREAS WOULD BONES, A HUMAN HEALTH AND ECOLOGICAL RISK.
SO THIS CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION ON THE RISK ASSESSMENT.
AND NOW WHEN THE IRANO WOULD DISCUSS THE SUBSURFACE WATER EVALUATION, WENDY, UM, AFTER THE 2015 PUBLIC HEARING AND COMMENTS REGARDING THE CORRECT MEASURES STUDY, WHICH ADDRESSED, UM, ORDINANCE REMOVAL IN AREA
[00:20:02]
AND SHOWED THAT FORMER OPERATIONS HAVE NOT IMPACTED SOME SURFACE WATER OUTSIDE OF TWO LOCALIZED AREAS, RED WATER POND, AND THE UPPER A 12 TEST AREA PSC ALSO COLLECT SAMPLES FROM TWO WATER WELLS ON A RANCH ADJACENT TO THE EAST SIDE OF AEROJET ROCKETS.AND IN 2019 VALUATION OF THE GEOLOGY, HYDROGEOLOGY AND STRUCTURAL SETTING OF THE SITE, ALONG WITH THE DATA COLLECTED FROM THE WELLS INDICATES, THERE WAS NO POTENTIAL FOR MIGRATION OF CHEMICALS OF INTEREST, BUT JASON GROUNDWATER, BASINS, NO IMPACT BENEFICIAL USES OF SURFACE OR SUBSURFACE WATER, EXCEPT IN THE TWO AREAS.
I ALREADY MENTIONED CHEMICALS OF INTEREST REMAIN IN SUBSURFACE WATER IN THE FORMER RED WATER POND AREA IN THE UPPER EIGHT, 12 TEST AREA FOR FOUR RESTRICTIONS ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF PRODUCTION WELLS FOR WATER EXTRACTION REQUIRED IN THOSE TWO AREAS.
THIS FIGURE SHOWS THE AEROJET ROCKETDYNE FACILITY DIVIDED IN HALF WITH THE NORTH, UH, NORTH HALF OF THE FACILITY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FLAG AND THE SOUTH AF ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDE, WE SPLIT THE FIGURE IN HALF SO THAT THE WELL LOCATIONS ON THE SITE ARE MORE EASILY SEEN ON THE FIGURE.
AS YOU MIGHT SEE THEM ON YOUR MONITORS, THE MONITORING WELLS AT THE FORMER RED WATER POND AREA ARE LABELED IN BLUE IN THE NORTH CENTRAL PART OF THE SITE.
THEY ARE SHOWN IN THE RED CIRCLE, THE AREA NUMBER ONE, AND ARE LABELED AS MW ONE AND W2 AND MW THREE MONITORING WELLS IN THE UPPER EIGHT 12 TEST AREA ARE SHOWN IN THE RED CIRCLED AREA.
ON NUMBER TWO, THEY'RE IDENTIFIED AS A 12 MW ONE, A 12 M W2 AND A 12 MW THREE, SEVERAL OF THE ON-SITE PRODUCTION WELLS THAT HAVE BEEN SAMPLED PREVIOUSLY ARE ALSO LOCATED ON THIS FIGURE.
THE FORMER WALKING BEAM WELL LABELED IN GRAY, NEAR THE NORTHEAST BOUNDARY OF THE SITE IN THE CIRCLE AREA.
SO LAKE ARROWHEAD, WELL IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE SITE IS THAT THE CONFLUENCE OF TWO INTERMITTENT STREAMS. THOSE ARE THE BLUE LINES ON THIS FIGURE AND THE WELL IS CIRCLED AREA NUMBER FOUR AND AREA OF ONE, WELL IS LOCATED ABOUT 2000 FEET.
UPGRADIENT FROM THE LAKE ARROWHEAD.
WELL IN CIRCLED AREA, NUMBER FIVE, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE FIGURE DESIGNATES TO TWO PROPOSED AREAS OF LAND USE RESTRICTION, WHICH ARE BASED ON THE SUBSURFACE WATER DATA ALREADY COLLECTED.
TWO PROPOSED AREAS ARE OUTLINED IN PURPLE BASED ON OUR STUDIES TO DATE.
THERE WILL BE NO IMPACTS TO OFFSITE RECEPTORS NEXT.
ROBERT ROMERO, THE PROJECT MANAGER WILL ADDRESS A PUDDING PLAN ACTIVITIES.
AH, THANK YOU, WENDY PLANNED ACTIVITIES FOR AEROJET ARE AS FOLLOWS.
THE COMPLETION OF THE INITIAL STUDY WAS PUBLISHED IN 2016.
IT HAS BEEN REVISED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE RESULTS OF THE RISK ASSESSMENT AND COMMENTS FROM 2016 AND IS BEING PUBLIC NOTICE.
THE SECOND TIME, THE STATEMENT OF BASIS IS ALSO BEING PUBLIC NOTICED THE COMMENT PERIOD FOR THESE DOCUMENTS BEGINS TOMORROW, OCTOBER 13TH AND RUNS FOR 30 DAYS, CPSE PLANTS
JEN WOULD THEN SUBMIT A WORK PLAN FOR THE ORDINANCE REMOVAL FOR REVIEW BY DPFC.
UPON COMPLETION OF THE WORK AEROJET WOULD SUBMIT A CORRECTIVE MEASURES COMPLETION REPORT, WHICH WOULD ALSO BE REVIEWED BY DTSC WORK WOULD BEGIN ON A CMS FOR MH THREE AND FOUR.
UH, COMMENTS ON THE INITIAL STUDY AND STATEMENT OF BASIS AND TO BE EMAILED TO ME, ROBERTROMERO@DPFC.CA.GOV OR MAIL TO
[00:25:01]
ME AS 57 96 CORPORATE AVENUE, CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA, 9 0 6 3 OH, YOU CAN REGISTER FOR REGISTER FOR THE OCTOBER 20TH ZOOM MEETING AT THE WEB ADDRESS SHOWN THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION AND WE CAN NOT, AND WE CAN NOT TAKE QUESTIONS.DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, THANKS FOR THE REPORT.
I THINK I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO MAKE SURE TO SIGN UP FOR THAT PUBLIC ZOOM MEETING.
IF YOU DO HAVE ISSUES OR QUESTIONS REGARDING AEROJET, THIS IS CERTAINLY GOING TO BE THE TIME FOR YOU TO, UH, TO DO SO.
UH, MS. LAMBERTO I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK ROBERT, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN ACCESS THESE DOCUMENTS? DO YOU HAVE THAT WEBSITE UP? YES.
UM, UM, UH, UH, UH, THAT IS THE PGC AND VIRUS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE.
WOULD YOU MIND REPEATING THAT ONE MORE TIME? UH, THAT IS THE DPS AND VIRUS STORE.
ON THE SECOND LINE ON HERE, AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS ON THE CITY WEBSITE AND THAT WE PUT THIS OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO BE AWARE OF, TO GET THAT, UH, VICE MAYOR MARQUEZ.
THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, FIRST, FIRST OF ALL, AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, UM, WHEN DO WE ANTICIPATE THIS TO BE WHERE WE WOULD KNOW FOR SURE THAT THE PROPERTY WOULD BE FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY CONTAMINANTS? UH, IT'S HARD TO SAY HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE.
UH, IT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY COMMENTS ARE YOU SEE AND THE NATURE OF THOSE COMMENTS.
IT COULD TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS TO RESPOND TO ALL THE COMMENTS AND, UM, AFTER THAT, UM, AEROJET WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT THE WORK PLAN AND, UM, DTSC WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND AFTER IT'S APPROVED AND AEROJET WOULD, UM, WOULD A CURE, UH, WOULD, UH, WOULD, UH, WOULD THEY CARRY OUT THE WORK PLAN? UM, UM, UM, ALSO ALSO IT'S, I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW LONG THE APPROVAL PROCESS WOULD TAKE.
UM, SO, SO, UM, UM, UM, UM, I'M, I'M NOT THINKING, UM, THAT THE PROCESS IS GOING TO BE FINISHED BEFORE THE END OF NEXT YEAR, BUT, BUT, UH, BUT AT THIS POINT THAT IS SIMPLY AGAIN, JUST TO FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS REAL FAST, THE TOTAL ACREAGE OWNED BY AEROJET IN THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
WHAT IS THE TOTAL ACREAGE? WOULD YOU KNOW THAT OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD? UM, I BELIEVE THAT WAS AROUND 800 ACRES.
AND ONCE THIS IS CERTIFIED OR CLEARED, THAT PROPERTY COULD BE USED FOR DEVELOPMENT, CORRECT? YES.
WHAT IS THIS PROPERTY CURRENTLY ZONED AS WE'RE ALL RESIDENTIAL, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY TWO UNITS PER ACRE.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE DIOCESE HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO TEAM DTSC.
WE APPRECIATE THIS AND AGAIN, EXPECT A RESIDENTS OF THE PUBLIC TO BE REACHING OUT TO YOU NOW.
WE ARE GOING TO BE MOVING ONTO OUR PUBLIC COMMENTS PORTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA, OR BY SHIFTING, I GUESS I SHOULD SAY ANY ACTIONS TAKEN OUT OF CLOSED SESSION.
UM, NO REPORTABLE ACTION WAS TAKEN IN CLOSE SESSION.
MAYOR THE COUNCIL, MR. CITY ATTORNEY, ARE THEY, CAN WE THE, UH, DTSC FOLKS? YES.

WE APPRECIATE THE UPDATE AS ALWAYS THIS TIME.
OUR NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT IS SPEAKER WILL BE MR. RONNIE GUYER.
ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SPEAK WITH YOU.
AND I ONLY COME UP HERE WHEN I USUALLY FEEL I HAVE A, AN ITEM TO DISCUSS, UM, OF A REAL VALUE MAYBE TO CONTRIBUTE TO WHAT THE FINE WORK YOU ARE PRODUCING.
UH, TODAY I'M HERE FOR ONE REASON AND ONE REASON ONLY, AND THAT IS TO SALUTE THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSING.
THEY HAD AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL ABOUT A SELF EVALUATION OF THE WORK THEY DO AND HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO GET THE JOB DONE, THEY GET GOOD AND RESULTS AND THEY, AND THEY ARE AWARE THAT AS THEY ARE OUT AMONG OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT OTHER CITY COUNCILS DON'T WORK EXACTLY THE SAME WAY YOU DO.
AND THAT MEANS THAT THEY ARE AT WAR.
[00:35:01]
THEY ARE AT WAR WITH ONE ANOTHER OUT THERE IN OTHER CITIES ALL OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I'VE REPRESENTED MEMBERS OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE FOR EIGHT YEARS, AND THAT PUT ME INTO MAKING PRESENTATIONS AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.
AND I WOULD BE THERE LISTENING TO THESE PEOPLE, GOING BACK AND FORTH AND BOUNCE, BOUNCE, BOUNCE, AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS, BUT STILL A WAR.
WHAT HERE IS A PLANNED COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE MEMBERS SITTING ON THIS CITY COUNCIL THAT WERE HERE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE CITY AND PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE C THE PLANNING OF THE CITY, MOST UNUSUAL, MOST UNUSUAL, AND IT'S VERY BLESSED AND IT SHOWS IN THE GOOD END RESULT THAT YOU GET.
SO WHEN YOU HAVE A, A PUBLIC DISCUSSION LIKE THAT, THAT REFLECTS THAT KIND OF THING TO THE COMMUNITY, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO HEAR THIS.
AND IT ALSO GIVES THEM AN AFFIRMATION THAT YOU ARE, YOU ARE DEDICATED TO MAKING SURE THAT THIS WILL ALWAYS BE THIS WAY HERE, BECAUSE THIS IS CITY.
THIS IS OUR CITY, AND IT IS BEEN BLESSED.
AND I THINK IT HAS BEEN BLESSED FOR THE VERY GOOD REASONS IN PART, BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU APPROACH EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO HERE.
AND THAT GOES FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, WITH STAFF THAT GOES FOR OUR PROTECTORS.
AND IN, IN, IN OUR TALKING ABOUT OUR PROTECTORS, IT BECOMES VERY INTERESTING WHEN YOU HAVE FIRES COMING AT THE CITY IN THE LAST 10 OR 15 YEARS, OR LAST FIVE TO 10 YEARS, OR RECENTLY MORE THAT ARE HEADED RIGHT FOR THE HEART OF US.
AND AT THE LAST MINUTE, THE WINDS SHIFT AWAY FROM CHINO HILLS.
AND I THINK THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT DIVINE PROVIDENCE.
AND I THINK ABOUT THE GOOD SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT COMES IN TO PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THE RIGHT REASONS AND GETTING THE GOOD END RESULTS.
MY PLEASURE TO BE HERE AS A VETERAN THAT BROUGHT ME TO IN MY LIFE, UH, REPRESENTING MEMBERS OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND IN MY RETIREMENT, BEING HERE AS I'VE DISCUSSED MANY TIMES, AND I HAVE AFFIRMED AND SUPPORTED IN VERY SAME WAYS THAT YOUR DISCUSSION LED.
SO I WAS PLEASED AS PUNCH TO SEE AND HEAR YOUR COMMENTS.
AND, UH, YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB JUST DOING THAT, GIVING BACK TO THE CITY, JUST EXACTLY THE VALUE OF WHAT YOU DO.
THANK YOU, MR. GAR, WE APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AS ALWAYS.
I SEE SOME HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE AUDIENCE.
YOU GUYS WANT TO SAY ANYTHING, PROVE THAT YOU WERE HERE.
I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO GET CREDIT.
I LIKE ONE AT LEAST WHAT HIGH SCHOOL.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS STUDYING? LIBERAL STUDIES.
ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? SO, OKAY, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
UH, SO THAT WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE, JOHN.
BY ALL MEANS, DO YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES? GOOD EVENING.
MAYOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, CDE STAFF.
UH, MY NAME'S JOHN I'M FROM CONGRESS FOR MY YOUNG KIM'S OFFICE.
UH, SO STARTING FROM THIS WEEK, I'LL BE A PRECEDENT AT THE MOBILE OFFICE HOUR ON WEDNESDAY.
AND I'M ALSO BE THE FUEL REP FOR THAT, YOU KNOW, HOSTS AREA.
UM, I'M GLAD WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM, UM, AND THE CONGRESSWOMAN WILL BE AROUND.
WE APPRECIATE IT AND GIVE OUR BEST TO THE CONGRESSWOMAN.
AND THEN WITH THAT, WE'LL BE MOVING ON TO CONFLICT OF INTEREST ANNOUNCEMENTS.
AND WHEN YOU HAVE ANY ITEMS TO STATE, ALL RIGHT.
SEEING AND HEARING, AND WE'LL BE MOVING
[ CONSENT CALENDAR (7 ITEMS) - All matters listed on the Consent Calendar are considered routine by the City Council and may be enacted by one motion in the form listed below. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless, before the City Council votes on the motion to adopt, Members of the City Council or staff request the matter to be removed from the Consent Calendar for separate action. Removed consent items will be discussed immediately after the adoption of the balance of the Consent Calendar.]
ONTO THE CONSENT CALENDAR.SO WE HAVE ITEMS SIX THROUGH 12.
WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO PULL ANY ITEMS FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR? ALL RIGHT.
WITH THAT, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BENNETT AND A SECOND BY VICE MAYOR MARQUEZ.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY MAKE SURE TO VOTE AND LOCK IT IN.
[13. Provide direction regarding hosting a City Flag Design Contest and authorize City Manager to appoint staff to judge along with Mayor Johsz contest entries]
COOL.AND WHEN THAT WE'LL BE MOVING ONTO THE DISCUSSION CALENDAR, WE HAVE ITEM 13, PROVIDE A DIRECTION REGARDING HOSTING A CITY FLAG DESIGN CONTEST, AND AUTHORIZED CITY MANAGER TO APPOINT STAFF TO JUDGE ALONG WITH MAYOR JOES FOR CONTEST ENTRIES, PLEASE.
JOE'S JOS VICE MAYOR MARQUEZ, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY STAFF.
UH, IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING TO SEEK STAFF DIRECTION ON HOSTING A CITY
[00:40:01]
FLAG DESIGN CONTEST.UM, I'LL FIRST START WITH A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON OUR CURRENT BRANDING AND LOCAL APPROVAL EFFORTS THAT WE'VE UNDERTAKEN OVER THE YEARS.
THE OFFICIAL CITY OF CHINO HILLS FLAG IS A SIMPLE WHITE SILK FLAG, WHICH WAS FIRST APPROVED.
UM, WHEN WE APPROVED OUR FIRST FULL COLOR CITY LOGO, INDOOR CEREMONIAL FLAGS HAVE THE SAME DESIGN, BUT INCLUDE THE GOLD TASSEL THAT YOU SEE BEHIND YOU ON THE DAL ON THE DYESS THERE.
UM, AND THAT BORDERS AROUND ALL OF THE FOUR EDGES, WHICH IS ALSO VERY CUSTOMARY TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A DESIGN TO THE INDOOR FLAGS WITH THE TASSEL.
UM, ALTHOUGH THE FLAG ITSELF WAS NOT APPROVED BY THE PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL ACTION, THE FIRST COLORIZED LOGO, LIKE I MENTIONED, UM, ON THE FLAG WAS APPROVED ON JUNE 8TH, 1993.
MANY CITIES SIMPLY PLACED THEIR LOGOS ON CITY FLAGS OR THE CITY SEAL ON CITY FLAGS AND THEN FLY THEM OVER CITY FACILITIES ON APRIL 23RD, 2013, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED ADDITIONAL VARIATIONS OF A REFRESHED CITY LOGO.
UM, MANY OF THOSE VARIATIONS, UH, ALLOWED US TO, UM, DO THE SIGNAGE THAT'S HERE AT THE GOVERNMENT CENTER.
UM, IT ALSO, UH, WAS DESIGNED FOR CITY LETTERHEAD ON ENVELOPES, NOTE CARDS AND BUSINESS CARDS AND A CITY LOGO BRANDING DESIGN STANDARDS, THE APPROVED CITY LOGO BRANDING DESIGN STANDARDS, UM, ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR THE CITY LOGO USE ON VARIOUS MEDIUMS AND ARE MEANT TO CLOSELY CONTROL THE CITY'S BRANDING AND IMAGE.
UM, YET IT PROVIDES THE FLEXIBILITY FOR THE CITY LOGO USE ACROSS ALL OF OUR MARKETING MATERIALS, NO MATTER THE SIZE LIMITATIONS THAT WE FACE THESE STANDARDS ALSO ALLOW FOR LOGO USE WITH, OR WITHOUT TEXT TO ENHANCE READABILITY AND FUNCTIONALITY ACROSS ALL OF OUR PRINTED PRODUCTS.
AND, UM, THAT RANGES FROM A SMALL THREE-QUARTER INCH LAPEL PIN THAT MANY OF YOU ARE PROBABLY WEARING THIS EVENING, UM, ACROSS ALL OF OUR LARGER ITEMS, SUCH AS STREET BANNERS, STANDARDS, MANAGING APPROPRIATE USE OF THE CITY LOGO ALLOWS THE CITY TO MAINTAIN A BRANDED LOOK AND IT PROTECTS THE CITY IMAGE AND ITS RECOGNIZABILITY WHILE A BRAND CONSISTS OF VISIBLE ELEMENTS.
SACHIT SUCH AS A LOGO AND A PALLET OF APPROVED COLORS.
IT'S ALSO SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
IT'S AN IDENTITY THAT REFLECTS THE CITY'S IMAGE TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS.
OUR BRAND IS A PERSONALITY AND IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE REFLECTIVE OF CHINO HILLS.
A BRAND ALSO REFLECTS OUR CIVIC PRIDE.
IT PORTRAYS OUR IMAGE POSITIVELY, AND IT ALSO HONORS OUR HISTORY SINCE THE MAYOR INITIATED THE ID YET FOR THE CITY TO HOST A CITY FLAG DESIGN CONTEST, CITY STAFF IS REQUESTING THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER THIS REQUEST AND DIRECT STAFF TO PROCEED WITH THE CONTEST.
IF THERE IS A DESIRE TO DO SO, THE CONTEST WOULD ENGAGE AND ENCOURAGE CHINO HILLS RESIDENTS TO SUBMIT A FLAG DESIGN WITH A CORRESPONDING NARRATIVE THAT NARRATIVE WOULD DESCRIBE THE SYMBOLISM IN THEIR FLAG.
DESIGN RESIDENTS WOULD ALSO BE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT DESIGNS BASED ON PRINCIPLES OF FLAG DESIGN, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE NORTH AMERICAN VEX, A LOGICAL ASSOCIATION AND INTERNATIONAL NON-PROFIT SCHOLARLY ORGANIZATION.
THAT'S DEDICATED TO THE STUDY OF FLAGS.
THOSE DESIGN PRINCIPLES ARE, KEEP IT SIMPLE, USE MEANINGFUL SYMBOLISM, USE TWO OR THREE BASIC COLORS, WHICH CONTRAST WELL AND COME FROM A STANDARD COLOR SET, AVOID LETTERING AND SEALS, AND BE DISTINCTIVE OR BE RELATED, THUS AVOIDING DUPLICATING OTHER FLAGS, BUT YOU SIMILARITIES TO SHOW CONNECTIONS, MANY COUNTRY AND STATE FLAGS FOLLOW THESE BASIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND DEPICT FLAGS THAT ARE SIMPLE YET MEMORABLE.
RECENTLY, THE CITY OF YOUR BELINDA HELD, HELD A FLAG DESIGN CONTEST AND OFFICIALLY ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION A NEW CITY FLAG.
IT IS PROPOSED THAT THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS WOULD DO THE SAME, JUST LIKE THE CITY LOGO DESIGN CONTEST HELD IN EARLY 1993,
[00:45:02]
THE CITY WOULD RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SELECT THE CONTEST WINNER FOR A NEW CITY FLAG DESIGN, OR SIMPLY TAKE COMPONENTS OF THE VARIOUS CITY FLAG ENTRIES TO DEVELOP A NEW DESIGN.IF THE COUNCIL DESIRES, THE PROPOSED CITY FLAG DESIGN CONTEST RULES ARE ATTACHED TO YOUR STAFF REPORT.
I ALSO PLACED THE FLYER THERE AT YOUR SEATS.
SO YOU CAN SEE THAT, UM, THE CONTEST WINNERS AS PROPOSED WOULD RECEIVE A VISA GIFT CARD OF $150 FOR FIRST PLACE, A HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR SECOND PLACE, $50 FOR THIRD PLACE.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO HOLD THE CONTEST, A TOTAL FUNDING OF 5,100 FOR THIS CONTEST WAS APPROVED IN THE FISCAL YEAR 21, 22 BUDGET.
THE FUNDING COVERS THE COST OF THE PRIZES, ART REVISIONS, IF THEY'RE NECESSARY.
AND ALSO THE PURCHASE OF THE FIRST ROUND OF INDOOR AND OUTDOOR FLAGS FOR CITY FACILITIES FOR A TOTAL OF 13 FLAGS.
AND THAT WOULD BE PLACED AT EACH OF THE CITY FACILITIES.
UM, WE'D OFFER ONE TO THE FIRE DISTRICT FOR EACH OF THE LOCAL STATIONS, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR CITY YARD, UH, THOSE KINDS OF LOCATIONS.
UM, SO, UM, BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING TONIGHT IS THAT YOU DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HOST THIS CITY FLAG DESIGN CONTEST.
IF THE COUNCIL DECIDES TO HOLD THE CONTEST, THEN APPROVE THIS CITY DESIGN, UH, FLIGHT CONTEST RULES THAT ARE BEFORE YOU, AND THEN ALSO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO APPOINT A STAFF REPRESENTATIVE ALONG WITH MAYOR JOS TO JUDGE CONTEST ENTRIES, SELECT THE TOP THREE WINNERS AND BRING FORTH A RECOMMENDED CITY FLAG DESIGN FROM THAT WINNING ENTRIES OR, UH, COMPILATION OF THE ENTRIES.
UM, NICOLE, COULD YOU ALSO, UH, CALL UPS? HERE'S A, AN EXAMPLE I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU BECAUSE WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE DESIGN GUIDELINES, THEY'RE VERY, VERY BASIC, SIMPLE DESIGN GUIDELINES, BUT IT'S HARD TO SEE WHAT THAT, WHAT THAT INTERPRETS TO, UM, WHAT YOU SEE ON THE UPPER LEFT-HAND SIDE IS THE NEW CITY OF YOUR BELINDA FLAG.
UM, YOU SEE THE CITY SELL BELOW THEIR PREVIOUS FLAG IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE NEW FLAG.
UM, AND THAT IS WHAT THEY REPLACED.
UM, ALSO WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO, SLAG, CHICAGO HAS ALWAYS HAD A VERY SIMPLIFIED DESIGN.
UM, AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE BOTTOM OF THAT GRAPHIC, UH, OVER THE YEARS, THEY SIMPLY HAVE ADDED STARS FOR VERY SPECIFIC MEANING.
SO THE SYMBOLISM THAT YOU SEE ON A FLAG WOULD HAVE TO HAVE VERY SPECIFIC MEANING, UM, TO WHAT THE DESIGN CALLS FOR.
AND SO THAT'S JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT, AS YOU DISCUSS THIS ITEM.
ALSO, I PROVIDED A PICTURE OF THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS FLAG AND THAT FLAG HAS, UH, HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE OUR START.
SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I THINK WE'LL TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT FIRST AND THEN WE'LL, UH, BRING IT BACK FOR ALL OF US, BUT ANY MEMBER OF ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SPEAKER CARDS, ANYBODY LIKE TO SPEAK.
RONNIE, MR. GEIER BATTER UP BLESSED WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
I'VE WATCHED THIS IN FRONT OF ME ABOVE THE BAYER'S HEAD THAT WAS DESIGNED BY MR. ROGERS, AS I RECALL, UM, I WAS A PARTICIPANT IN THE FINAL DECISION.
I THINK THAT HAS THE HEART, THE CITY IN THE RIGHT PLACE RIGHT THERE.
IT SAYS EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CITY, WHERE IT COUNTRY AND, UH, AND IT'S COMFORTABLE AND IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
AND IT REALLY SAYS EVERYTHING.
I THINK WE NEED TO KNOW, LOOK AT THAT BIRD FLYING ABOVE THAT BEAUTIFUL TREE.
AND WE'RE ABOUT TREES, A GOOD SOLID EXPRESSION OF THE SPIRIT OF CHINO HILLS.
I'LL UH, BRING IT BACK AND I'LL JUST GIVE MY INITIAL THOUGHTS ON WHY I HAD ASKED FOR THIS ITEM TO COME FORWARD.
UM, YOU KNOW, GOING INTO OUR 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY AND I F I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE I'M JUST A INTERESTING PERSON, BUT FLAGS HAVE ALWAYS MEANT SOMETHING TO ME.
I HAVE LIVED IN A BUNCH OF PLACES, YOU KNOW, I, I DO APPRECIATE THE SYMBOLISM THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT.
AND I THOUGHT WITH US HITTING OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY COMING FORWARD MIGHT NOT BE A BAD THING TO SEE WHAT PUBLIC THOUGHTS ARE ON IT.
I KNOW, UH, I WASN'T HERE AT A COURT.
I WASN'T HERE AT INCORPORATION, UM,
[00:50:01]
BUT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CHANGES OVER THAT TIME.AND MAYBE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE START TO TAKE OWNERSHIP IN IT AS WELL.
AND CERTAINLY ALWAYS HONOR WHAT WE ORIGINALLY HAD, BUT BY ALL MEANS, IF I'M ONE PERSON THAT'S UP FOR DISCUSSION ON, IF THIS IS EVEN SOMETHING WE WANT TO LOOK AT.
SO ANY COMMENTS MR. ROGERS, I'VE GIVEN IT A SHOT, AT LEAST WE'LL SEE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH.
I'M REALLY HOPING TO KEEP IT VERY SIMPLE.
I MEAN, BUT REFLECTIVE, LIKE RONNIE SAID, REFLECTIVE OF OUR COMMUNITY REFLECTIVE OF, UH, THE CHARACTER OF OUR COMMUNITY.
SO I'M, I'M OPEN TO GO FORTH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE.
MARQUEZ, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.
I WAS PART OF INCORPORATION AND I DO TAKE PRIDE IN OUR CITY AND OUR INITIAL FLAG.
IT MEANS A WHOLE LOT TO ME, AND I KNOW IT DOES TO THE REST OF THE COUNCIL, BUT AGAIN, HOW THIS WENT DOWN.
I'M JUST A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE SAYING THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS, BUT I GOT A FLYER HERE THAT SAYS CITY FLAG DESIGN CONTEST ENTRIES DUE NOVEMBER 10TH, 2021.
LIKE IT WAS ALREADY A CONCLUSION THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
AND AGAIN, I THINK THIS DECISION SHOULD HAVE BEEN AGENDIZED EVEN THOUGH IT'S ON THE AGENDA RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCUSSION ON, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DO? AND IF WE DO WANT TO DO IT, THEN THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD HAVE A CONTEST, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE WE'RE GOING RIGHT TO A CONTEST BEFORE WE EVEN DECIDE IF WE, AS A COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS.
I DO BELIEVE THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.
AND AGAIN, I JUST WOULD HATE TO MOVE FORWARD ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS WITH HAVING MORE, MORE PARTICIPATION FROM THE COMMUNITY TO SEE IF THERE'S EVEN A NEED FOR US TO SWITCH HER FLAG.
BUT AS FAR AS THE 30 YEAR, IT'S GOING TO BE 30 YEARS COMING UP.
IF WE'RE JUST SPECIFICALLY STATING FOR THE 30TH YEAR, WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL, THEN I'M FOUR TO A HUNDRED PERCENT.
UM, I'M AN OLD STICK IN THE MUD AND A SENTIMENTALIST IN A LOT OF WAYS.
UH, I I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN A VOLUNTEER CAPACITY ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1993 WITH THE CITY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE, ALL OF OUR FORMER COUNCILS, UH, HAVE ENDORSED THIS SYMBOL.
UH, IT IS SYMBOLIC OF WHAT THE CITY, UH, REPRESENTS THE ROLLING HILLS, THE TREES, THE RED TAIL HAWK.
UM, IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO PLAY AROUND WITH THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS, THE FONTS OR SOMETHING, MAYBE.
SO I DON'T PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE IN THE FLAG, WE HAVE, I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE, IF WE DECIDE TO CHANGE IT, UH, ARE NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH IT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT REPRESENTS RONNIE.
HE MADE IT VERY CLEAR WHEN HE LOOKED AT THE, UH, ABOVE THE DYESS HERE, UM, THAT'S CHINO HILLS.
IT REPRESENTS, AND ANYBODY THAT LIVES HERE THAT TAKES TIME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS AND WHAT IT REPRESENTS.
UM, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU CAN IMPROVE UPON PERFECTION AND IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.
SO, UH, TRUTHFULLY, I, I APPRECIATE THE STAFF TIME INVOLVED WITH THIS.
UH, IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT KIND OF THINGS WOULD COME UP, BUT CURRENTLY I'M NOT IN SUPPORT OF CHANGING THE FLAG.
THAT'S JUST MY OWN PERSONAL FEELINGS.
ANY THOUGHTS MS. MORAN? I HAVE A QUESTION, VALERIE.
SO I REMEMBER, UM, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE CITY LOGO SPECIFICALLY NOW.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE BLUE LOGO, LIKE I REMEMBER BEING ON COUNCIL AND WE WERE UP HERE DECIDING, AND SO WHAT'S INTERESTING IS WE HAD A CITY LOGO FOR QUITE SOME TIME THAT LOOKED LIKE WHAT WAS ON THE FLAG.
WE DID A REFRESH ON THE CITY LOGO, WHICH WAS ACCEPTED BY THE COMMUNITY.
AND, UM, I WISH THERE IS A WAY THAT WE CAN KIND OF SATISFY ALL OF US WITH, BECAUSE WE ALL CHANGED THE LOGO AND DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.
AND THE LOGO LOOKED LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE FLAG DOES.
SO I ALMOST THINK THAT THE CITY LOGO THAT WE HAVE NOW SHOULD HAVE ALWAYS WENT ON THE FLAG WHEN WE CHANGED THE CITY LOGO.
SO, I MEAN, I COULD GO EITHER WAY.
WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO CHANGE OUR LOGO.
WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO REPRESENT OUR CITY ON A FLAG, WHETHER IT'S STICKING WITH THE LOGO OR, BUT I, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND CHANGING THIS, THE SYMBOL AS A LOGO, BUT I'M OPEN TO SEE WHAT, WHAT PEOPLE MAY COME UP WITH AS A FLAG DESIGN.
AND IF WE EVEN BE AS SIMPLE AS UPDATING THE LOGO THAT WE CURRENTLY USE WITH THE ONE THAT'S ON THERE, BUT IT COULD BE, OR SOME DIFFERENT BACKGROUND COLORS TO IT, OR WE DO NOTHING AND WE KEEP IT AS IS.
IF WE CAN'T, IF WE CAN'T PERFECT PERFECTION, AS ART SAID, YEAH, THE LOGO LOOKS
[00:55:01]
LIKE IT WAS ON THE FLAG.AND I DON'T REMEMBER IF THAT SIMPLIFIED, BECAUSE I PERSONALLY, I'M A FLAG NERD TOO.
AND IF YOU WATCH A TED TALK ON A FLAG, THE FLAG WE HAVE NOW IS LIKE BREAKING EVERY FLAG RULE OF DESIGN.
MAYBE WE PUT IT IN A GLASS FRAME IN THE LOBBY GUYS OR SOMETHING, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK IT'S WORTH TRYING THE CONTEST TO RAY'S POINT.
I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS KIND OF AWKWARD CAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A DONE DEAL, BUT I THINK STAFF ALWAYS DOES AS GOOD JOB.
AND THEY'RE JUST SHOWING US AND BEING PROACTIVE THAT IF WE WERE TO PROVE IT, IT'S READY TO HIT THE STREETS.
SO I CAN APPRECIATE THAT FROM YOU GUYS.
UM, I'M SURE DENISE KATTER AND I'LL BE HERE TO YELL AT US IF WE DO ANYTHING WRONG.
ANYWAY, I MIGHT ADD ONE, ONE COMMENT, THE CITY BRANDING DESIGN STANDARDS THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVED, UM, DID SPECIFY THAT THE CITY FLAG WOULD HAVE THAT LOGO.
IT ALSO SPECIFIED THE CITY TILE THAT WE GIVE OUT, UM, HAS THE ORIGINAL CITY LOGO, WHICH IS WHAT YOU SEE ON THE FLAG.
SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT, AND I WOULD CLARIFY WHAT I MISINTERPRETED THINGS.
IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAINTAINING THE LOGO AND MAYBE JUST REDESIGNING ITS PLACE PLACEMENT ON A FLAG, THAT'S ONE THING.
AND THAT I WOULD BE WILLING TO TAKE A LOOK AT.
I THINK THAT THE COLORS THAT ARE ON IT RIGHT NOW WHEN WE CHANGED IT TO BEING ALL ONE SHADE, I THINK THAT WAS AN ACCEPTABLE CHANGE.
CAUSE WE DIDN'T LOSE ANYTHING IN THE REPRESENTATION OF THE LOGO SO THAT I WOULD BE OPEN TO, BUT UH, CHANGING THE LOGO.
I THINK WE NEED TO, TO KEEP THAT LOGO AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS ON THE FLAG.
UH, IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, REDESIGNED TO INCORPORATE IT AND MAKE IT LOOK BETTER SOMEHOW, THEN MAYBE WE CAN IMPROVE ON PERFECTION.
I JUST WANT TO BE REALLY PERFECTLY CLEAR.
WHEN I LOOKED AT EVERYTHING, HOW IT WAS PRESENTED TO ME, LIKE THIS WAS A DONE DEAL AND ALL I'M STATING WHAT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE HAD A DISCUSSION AMONGST MY CALL COLLEAGUES, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD WANT IT TO DO? SO IN OTHER WORDS, AND THEN MOVE FORWARD.
SO THEN WE GIVE YOU DIRECTION TO PUT A FLYER TOGETHER AND DO THIS AND DO THAT.
BUT WE WENT RIGHT TO THE END PRODUCT WITHOUT REALLY MAKING A DECISION AT COUNCIL LEVEL.
AND AGAIN, I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT TAKE PRIDE OF THIS FLAG AND HE JUST ASHAMED THAT THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT WE'RE WE'RE RIGHT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, MOVING FORWARD.
AND SO THAT IT JUST CONCERNED THAT I HAVE, I LOVE MY FLAG.
AND SO THAT'S WHERE I'M COMING FROM.
TO ME, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A DONE DEAL.
MY APOLOGIES FOR THAT, THAT IS NOT AT ALL THE INTENT.
THE INTENT WAS JUST TO, TO BE PREPARED IF YOU DID WANT TO PROCEED.
UM, JUST BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME TO DESIGN EVERYTHING.
AND WE JUST WANTED TO BE PREPARED, ESPECIALLY WITH THE HOLIDAYS COMING UP, IF YOU WANTED TO MOVE QUICKLY.
AND ALL I'M SAYING IN THE FUTURE, LET'S, LET'S GIVE STAFF DIRECTION.
LET'S NOT DO IT ON YOUR OWN AND BRING IT TO US AND FOR, TO CERTIFY IT, JUST LET US MAKE THAT DECISION BEFORE STAFF DOES ANYTHING SOUNDS GOOD.
THE OTHER COMMENT I HAVE, UM, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE COMMITTEE EXPANDED BEYOND TWO PEOPLE.
I MEAN, IT'S LIKE COMMITTEE OF ONE OR TWO TO BRING THAT DOWN.
I THINK IT DESERVES MORE, UH, INPUT AND SCRUTINY THAN ONE OR TWO PEOPLE.
I, YEAH, I WOULD IMAGINE MAYBE TOO FROM COUNCIL, DO WE WANT TO INCORPORATE SOMEBODY FROM CHARTS AND AN AESTHETIC? I, I KNOW SOMEONE RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT MIGHT BE, I WOULD EVEN LIKE TO GET COMMISSIONERS TO, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, THEY'RE A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.
MAYBE BEN, HOW ABOUT WE GO WITH LIKE ONE FROM EACH COMMISSION, ONE FROM CHARTS, TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS OR ME AND ONE OTHER ONE.
ALSO WE BRING IT BACK AND THIS, BUT THIS COULD BE LAUNCHED.
SO BECAUSE IT'S ONLY A MONTH OR SO TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN, IF WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH A MAKEUP COMMITTEE, MAKEUP, LIKE YOU SUGGESTED WITH COMMISSIONS AND ET CETERA AND YOU, AND ONE OTHER, I WOULD RECOMMEND, UH, PETER ON THAT.
CAUSE I KNOW HE'S GOING TO BE MORE OPEN-MINDED THAN I WOULD BE.
WELL THAT'S TO BE ANNABELLE RIGHT NOW, BUT I WOULD SECOND THAT ALL RIGHT, THEN I THINK WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND IF I'M GOING TO TAKE IT AT THAT.
WELL IT WAS ACTUALLY BRIAN AND I VERY GO CHANGED IT SLIGHTLY.
PARDON ME? SO I MADE THE MOTION.
AND IT'S READY FOR YOU TO VOTE, RIGHT? THANK YOU.
[01:00:01]
UM, ALL RIGHT, WAIT, WE HAVE PLENTY OF CREATIVE FOLKS IN OUR CITY.I EXPECT TO SEE SOME GREAT DESIGNS.
AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE GO WITH.
[14. Provide direction on allocation of Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus funds]
WE WILL BE MOVING ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM.UH, PROVIDE DIRECTION ON ALLOCATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CORONA VIRUS FUNDS, MARY JO'S, UH, ALMA HERNANDEZ WITH THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT WILL PRESENT THE SIGN UP.
EVEN IF SHE DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS GOING TO SURPRISE, UH, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS.
WE ARE HERE THIS EVENING TO REPRESS DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL ON THE REMAINING CDBG CARES ACT FUNDS.
UH, THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 220,000 LEFT STOP IS RECOMMENDING TO LAUNCH A NEW BUSINESS GRAND CYCLE WITH THE ONLY CHANGE BEING TO ALLOW, UM, HOME-BASED BUSINESSES TO APPLY.
STOP, CONTINUE TO GET INQUIRIES ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF BUSINESS GRANTS.
SO WE FEEL THAT THERE'S STILL A NEED TO, UM, HELP SMALL BUSINESSES, UH, IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT WE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL, WE INCLUDE ELIGIBLE PROGRAMS THAT THE COUNCIL MAY WANT TO CONSIDER FUNDING.
ANY OF THESE NEW PROGRAMS WOULD, UM, REQUIRE TIME TO RESEARCH AND IDENTIFY ANY POTENTIAL PARTNERS TO RUN THE PROGRAM.
UM, AND SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION.
DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC? WE DO NOT HAVE ANY SPEAKER CARDS IS ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK? ALL RIGHT.
MR. MONTGOMERY, HOW SHOULD WE PROVIDE DIRECTION? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? SO FOR THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION, IT'S REALLY KIND OF IN TWO, UH, LET'S CALL IT PHASES.
UM, AS YOU KNOW, UH, EARLY, UH, IN THE ALLOCATION OF THE CDBG CARES ACT MONEY.
WE, UH, BROUGHT OUT THE TWO PROGRAMS, THE MICRO AND THE SMALL BUSINESS AND, AND SPEAKING WITH, UH, MS. HERNANDEZ RELATED TO OUR CURRENT NEED, WE DO CONTINUE TO HAVE BUSINESSES THAT WOULD FEEL THEY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM, UH, THROUGHOUT THE STAFF REPORT.
AND THE COMMENTS, ONE OF THE KEY ISSUES IS THAT THERE ARE CONDITIONS WITH, WITH THE MONEY AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GOING TOWARD, UH, AN ELIGIBLE EXPENSE.
AND SO THAT'S WHY OUR RECOMMENDATION IS WE KNOW THAT A BUSINESS PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED SUPPORT IN THE COMMUNITY.
WE FEEL THERE ARE ADDITIONAL, UH, UH, APPLICANTS, POTENTIAL APPLICANTS OUT THERE.
SO DEPENDING ON THE COUNCIL'S DESIRE, IF YOU FEEL THERE'S NEED TO REOPEN THE PROGRAM, THAT'S WHY WE'VE RECOMMENDED TO, TO GO WITH THE, THE STATUS QUO, UH, PER SE, WITH THE, UH, ADDITION OF ADDING, UH, UH, POTENTIALLY, UH, UH, HOME-BASED BUSINESSES, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE QUITE A FEW IN THE COMMUNITY.
UH, THE OTHER OPTIONS, UH, ON THE LIST ARE FOUR COUNCILS, UH, DIRECTION, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO TAKE QUITE A BIT OF, UH, RESEARCH TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE PROGRAMS WOULD WORK.
SO, UH, GIVEN THAT THE COUNCIL HAS A DIRECT, YOU KNOW, INTERACTIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY, YOU MAY KNOW WHETHER OR NOT, UH, THERE IS A STRONG NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH, UH, SPECIAL MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM.
THAT'S GOING TO TARGET PEOPLE, UH, SERVED BY, UH, ARE EFFECTED BY COVID-19.
UM, WE'VE GOT A LEGAL COUNSELING, UH, OPTION THERE THAT THE COUNCIL MAY WANT US TO LOOK INTO, UH, AND THAT WOULD PROVIDE SERVICES AND ASSISTANCE FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY BE FACING EVICTIONS, UH, AS A RESULT OF, UH, COVID-19 IMPACTS, UH, HOMELESS ASSISTANCE.
AGAIN, UH, ALWAYS WITH THAT TIE BACK TO, UH, COVID SAME WITH RENTAL ASSISTANCE, EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW THERE'S AN EXISTING PROGRAM IN THE COUNTY, UH, THE COUNCIL MAY WANT TO, UH, UH, US TO RESEARCH, CREATING OUR OWN PROGRAM, UH, ALONG THOSE LINES.
AND THEN THE SAME WITH UTILITY ASSISTANCE THAT MANY OF THESE PROGRAMS EXIST AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND HAVE SUPPORT FROM EITHER THE STATE OR FROM, UH, OR FROM THE LOCAL COUNTY LEVEL.
UH, WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE.
IF THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE US TO EXPLORE SOME OF THESE AS WELL.
UH, IT COULD TAKE UP TO SIX MONTHS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SECURE THE PARAMETERS FOR EACH PROGRAM, FOR THESE PROGRAMS TO, UM, MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO OUR, UH, OUR, OUR PROGRAM.
UH, SO WE'RE JUST ESSENTIALLY, MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT WE DIDN'T IDENTIFY THAT YOU'D LIKE US TO BRING BACK FOR, FOR, UH, FUTURE CONSIDERATION.
SO BEN, IF, UM, IF WE DON'T DO ANY OF THESE PROGRAMS, THEN CAN ALL THE MONEY BE USED FOR THE BUSINESS GRANTS OR IS THIS IN ADDITION,
[01:05:01]
WE CAN ONLY USE IT FOR, UM, WE COULD ALLOCATE THE REMAINING BALANCE TO A BUSINESS PROGRAM.WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A NEED FOR THE ENTIRE AMOUNT, BUT, BUT WE COULD, AND WE DO HAVE, I BELIEVE TWO YEARS TO GET TO ONE THRESHOLD FOR THE EXPENDITURE AND SIX YEARS TOTAL.
IS THAT CORRECT? UH, ELMO, CORRECT.
SO FUNDING IS ALREADY CURRENTLY ALLOCATED TO THE BUSINESS GRANT PROGRAMS. SO IT'S JUST ABOUT COUNCIL'S DESIRE TO CONTINUE TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM, BUT WE WOULD NEED TO TAKE DIFFERENT ACTION TO INCLUDE HOME-BASED BUSINESSES, CORRECT.
OR IS THAT ALREADY THAT'S CURRENTLY UNACCEPTABLE, UM, BUSINESS.
SO WE WOULD JUST CHANGE THE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS.
I, LIKE BEN SAID A LOT OF THE, UM, THE PROGRAMS, PEOPLE CAN ALREADY GET THOSE SERVICES AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.
LIKE WHETHER IT'S THE COUNTY OR THE STATE.
I KNOW THAT EVEN WITH OUR OWN CDBG, LIKE LEGAL COUNSELING SERVICES THROUGH IS THROUGH LEGAL AID SOCIETY, DO WE GIVE THEM MONEY THIS YEAR, LEGALLY SO THAT WE HAVE THAT, UM, A LOT OF STUFF CAN GET DONE THROUGH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
SO WHEN I THINK OF CHINO HILLS AND DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, I THINK LIKE THE UTILITY ASSISTANCE IS ALWAYS AN EXTRA ONE TO PUT IN IF THEY QUALIFY.
UM, AND I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, HOW, LIKE THE FOUNDING OF OUR FOUNDATION DOES RECREATION, SCHOLARSHIPS.
I MEAN, WHAT IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY THAT'S BEEN AFFECTED BY COVID AND THEY'RE GETTING OTHER THINGS, BUT LIKE, WHAT IF THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THEIR KIDS DO RECREATION ANYMORE? BECAUSE IT'S JUST AN EXTRA EXPENSE THEY DON'T HAVE, I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER TOO IS REC RECREATION SUBSIDIES, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD APPLY.
THAT COULD BE, WE COULD FUND THAT WITH REGULAR CDBG FUNDS, NOT NECESSARILY WITH THE CARES, CARES.
THOSE ARE THE ONLY COMMENTS I HAVE RIGHT NOW.
YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? UM, I THINK IT'S A FAIR QUESTION.
I WOULD GO WITH STUFF AND DON'T LOOK AT BAD.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? UH, DEFINITELY THERE'S, UH, A LOT OF INQUIRIES.
UM, I WOULD SAY ALMOST WEEKLY ABOUT, UM, ANY BUSINESS ASSISTANCE, UH, FOR A CHAIN OF HEALTH BUSINESSES, AND IT DEFINITELY A LOT FOR HOME-BASED BUSINESSES.
SO EVEN, UM, I KNOW THEY WERE EXCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS ROUNDS, SO I THINK TO JUST GIVE THEM AT LEAST AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IF THEY WOULD QUALIFY WOULD BE BENEFICIAL.
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE TRY AND GET A COMPLETE AS COMPLETE LIST THIS AS POSSIBLE RIGHT NOW, AS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INQUIRING AND THE TYPE OF BUSINESS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO, TO HAVE, UH, FUNDS FOR, THEN FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS AND DETERMINE A DOLLAR AMOUNT.
I DON'T SEE US SITTING ON THESE DOLLAR AMOUNTS.
I MEAN, WE HAVE BEEN AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE TO HELP KEEP THESE BUSINESSES, HEADS ABOVE WATER.
AND I THINK THE QUICKER WE CAN COME UP WITH A TOTAL NUMBER THAT POTENTIALLY COULD USE THESE FUNDS AND DIVIDED INTO THE CURRENT BALANCE AND GET THOSE THINGS DISTRIBUTED THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
AND TO, TO ART'S POINT, COULD WE JUST OPEN THIS UP NOW TO THOSE BUSINESSES, TO THAT BUSINESS CATEGORY THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT AND THEN POTENTIALLY REALLOCATE IT AFTERWARDS IF IT GOES UNFUNDED.
SO THAT WAY WE'RE NOT WAITING FOR, YOU KNOW, ADDITIONAL TIME AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT I HAD IN MIND.
SO IF WE NEED THAT IN THE FORM OF A MOTION, I WOULD MAKE THAT MOTION, LET'S PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF ALL OF THE, THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE REQUESTED ASSISTANCE, SEE IF THEY COULDN'T QUALIFY OR IT CAN BE PUT IN AND QUALIFY AND THEN DIVVY UP THE MONEY AND GET IT OUT THERE TO THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE STILL HURTING, BUT PROBABLY ALSO TO DO, DO A, LIKE A SOLICIT TO ALL THE BUSINESSES, NOT JUST THE ONES THAT HAVE CALLED IN.
BECAUSE I THINK TO THAT POINT AND, UH, AND ONE OF THE STAFF ITEMS ON CONSENT CALENDAR, WE TALKED ABOUT HDL AND THE BUSINESS LICENSES AND REEVES, WE'RE SEEING A GOOD AMOUNT OF GOOD AMOUNT OF BUSINESSES COMING IN.
SO YEAH, BUT CERTAINLY MAKE SURE TO REACH OUT TO ALL THE NEW ONES, THE FOLKS THAT HAVE REACHED OUT, YOU KNOW, TO ALMOST TEAM AND THEN A HOME-BASED AND GO FROM THERE ALL SECOND ARTS MOTION, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BENNETT.
WE HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER, ROGERS MANAGER, I'M SORRY, VICE MAYOR MARQUEZ.
I WAS LOOKING AT YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH THIS? WAS THIS A PROBLEM? THAT'S ALL.
I JUST, JUST CLEAR THAT, UM, TO CONTINUE THE BUSINESS GRANT PROGRAM AND OPEN IT TO HOME-BASED BUSINESSES, RIGHT.
AND THEY JUST DO AN OUTREACH TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE PEOPLE THAT IT'D BE HAPPY TO HAVE A RECORD OF WHO HAS INQUIRED ALREADY.
THERE'S THE BEGINNING OF YOUR LIST.
THEN YOU CAN DO A FURTHER OUTREACH FOR SIMILAR BUSINESSES.
IF WE'RE GOING TO INCLUDE THOSE TYPE THAT HAVE CALLED ADD TO THAT AND OUTREACH OUT TO THEM.
AND LET'S, LET'S GET THIS MONEY OUT OF THE CITY AND BACK INTO THE WHERE, WHERE IT CAN DO SOME GOOD.
SO WE HAD A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BENNETT SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER ROGERS LOCK IN YOUR VOTES, PLEASE.
[01:10:01]
WE'RE WAITING FOR COUNCIL MEMBER MARQUEZ, MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO, AH, LOVE TECHNOLOGY.[15.

THE DETAILS OF VARIOUS FACILITIES IMPOSED BY THE CITY.
IT DOES NOT CURRENTLY CONTAIN A PROVISION THAT EXPLICITLY ALLOWS FUNDS TO BE REALLOCATED BEEF BETWEEN PROJECTS WITHIN FUNDS, BASED ON CURRENT NEEDS AND COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION.
THEREFORE, THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE ADDS PROCEDURES TO ALLOW THE COUNCIL TO MOVE FUNDING FROM ONE PROJECT TO WITHIN A SPECIFIC FUND BY RESOLUTION.
IT ALSO PROVIDES AUTHORITY TO THE CITY MANAGER TO MOVE FUNDING FROM ONE PROJECT TO ANOTHER, WITHIN A SPECIFIC FUND UP TO $200,000 TO ENSURE COUNCIL OVERSIGHT.

IN ADDITION, THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WILL ALLOW CHAPTER 3.40.
TO CLARIFY THAT THE TRAFFIC FACILITY'S FEE IS SEPARATE FROM THE TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE, WHICH IS A FEE ADOPTED MORE RECENTLY AND CHARGED ONLY TO MORE RECENT DEVELOPMENT THAT NECESSITATED ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AT THIS TIME.
AT THIS TIME, DO YOU HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ITEM 15? WE DO NOT.
IT'S ABOUT FACILITY FEES FOR SURE.
WELL THAT WILL BRING THEM BACK TO THE COUNCIL.

SO, UH, UH, FOR THE PUBLIC, UH, THE QUESTION WAS WHY DOES THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS HOST, UH, OUR, UH, VETERANS DAY EVENT? UH, NOT ON VETERANS DAY, IT'S ACTUALLY ON THE 10TH, NOT THE 11TH.
AND, UM, TRADITIONALLY WE'VE HELD IT ON THAT DATE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE, UH, VETERANS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN MULTIPLE EVENTS, REGIONALLY, UH, OURS BEING THE DAY BEFORE, AND THEN HAVING OTHER OPPORTUNITIES ON THE 11TH.
I'VE ASKED OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR WHO, UH, RUNS THIS PROGRAM TO KIND OF WALK THROUGH, UH, THAT COMMITMENT, BUT ALSO WHAT WE ALREADY, UH, GOING AS FAR AS, UH, UH, WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO CHANGE THAT EVENT.
AND SO, UH, JONATHAN, IF YOU DON'T MIND SHARING WITH THE GROUP, UH, UH, THOSE, UH, POTENTIAL HURDLES, THANK YOU, BEN, UH, NEAR JOE'S AND COUNCIL.
UM, YEAH, IT HAS BEEN AT STATED, UH, WHEN WE ORIGINALLY THIS WILL BE OUR FOURTH YEAR FOR THIS PARTICULAR EVENT AND SINCE BEING THE NEWBIE ON THE BLOCK AND, UH, KNOWING THAT THE CHINO VALLEY HAS, UM, OTHER, UH, VETERAN'S EVENTS, IT MADE SENSE TO PUT OURS ON THE DAY BEFORE, UM, THAT WAY, UH, THE MORE TRADITIONAL EVENTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PARTICIPATING IN OVER TIME THEY'LL THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PARTAKE IN.
AND SO, UM, UH, REALLY IT'S STILL, STILL IS THE CASE IN WHICH LED US TO THIS PARTICULAR DAY.
AGAIN, UM, WE DID HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH, UH, LOCAL VETERANS AND, UM, MEMBERS OF THE 55 PLUS VETERANS GROUP AS WELL, UM, AS IT RELATED TO THINGS, UH, TO DATE, UM, WE'VE ACTUALLY, UM, AND THIS MIGHT BE THE, THE TIPPING POINT, SO TO SPEAK AS IT RELATES TO A DECISION TONIGHT, IF THE, UH, ABOUT THE, UH, THE DATE OF THE EVENT, WE ALREADY HAVE CONFIRMED 130 REZ REGISTRANTS FOR THE BREAKFAST THAT MORNING.
SO WE'VE HAVE 130 PEOPLE REGISTERED, AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHERS THAT WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN THE DAY'S ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ALREADY BOOKED IN.
AND, UM, ACCORDING TO STAFF, UH, THOSE FOLKS WERE UNABLE TO JOIN US, UM, ON THE ACTUAL DAY FOR, BECAUSE OF OTHER COMMITMENTS AND SUCH.
UM, CERTAINLY, UH, WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF VETERAN'S DAY, BELIEVE ME, AND, UH, BUT WE CERTAINLY WANTED TO, UM, UH, GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR VETERANS TO BE RECOGNIZED HERE WITH THE CITY, AND THEN ALSO ENJOY A DAY WITH OTHER PROGRAMS AS WELL FROM THAT STANDPOINT, WHICH, UH, LED US TO, UH, ULTIMATELY OUR, UH, OUR DECISION, UH, ORIGINALLY AND STILL AS IT RELATES TO THIS.
UM, I THINK THOUGH THAT, UM, UH, BEN AND I, UH, SPOKE AND, UH, THOUGHT THAT, UM, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE ON NOT THE ACTUAL DAY.
AND I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A CONVERSATION THAT, UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO GAIN SOME INPUT FROM THE COUNCIL ON, AS YOU KNOW, 4TH OF JULY.
DOESN'T TYPICALLY WE DON'T DO IT ON THE 4TH OF JULY, OF COURSE, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
BUT, UM, AND THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF VETERANS DAY, OF COURSE, UM, WE DON'T DO ANYTHING ON EASTER SUNDAY.
THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY DO ANY WAY.
UH, BUT, UM, SO THAT I THINK WOULD BE PROBABLY, UH, SEEKING SOME LEVEL OF DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL ON OTHER DESIRES TO SEE CERTAIN EVENTS OCCUR ON CERTAIN DAYS AND SUCH, UM, I LOVE OUR EVENT.
I THINK IT'S, UH, IT'S, IT'S WELL ATTENDED AND SUCH, BUT I THINK ALSO THE REALITIES ARE, IS
[01:20:01]
THAT THERE ARE OTHER EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A LOT LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.AND, AND AT LEAST FOR THIS YEAR'S PURPOSES.
AND SINCE WE HAVE 130 REGISTRANTS ALREADY, I THINK, UM, UH, PROBABLY PEOPLE HAVE MADE A COMMITMENT TO OTHER EVENTS SINCE WE'RE ABOUT A MONTH AWAY FROM ACTUALLY LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY FROM OUR PARTICULAR EVENT.
BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, CERTAINLY IF IT'S A, THE COUNSEL'S DESIRES TO, UH, FOR US TO PIVOT AND DO SOMETHING ACTUALLY ON VETERAN'S DAY, UH, WE WILL LOOK TO, UH, LOOK TO DO THAT AS WELL.
UH, JUST LOOKING AT A COUPLE OTHER NOTES HERE THAT A STAFF PROVIDED ME AS IT RELATED TO THE EVENT.
I THINK FOR THE MOST PART, THAT'S PROBABLY A, THAT'S PROBABLY THE, THE GIST OF THINGS.
AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO SEE RONNIE ON THAT DAY AREN'T WE SIGNED UP FOR THE BREAKFAST PRIOR
OF COURSE WE THANK YOU, RONNIE.
UM, YEAH, I THINK ART AND I HAD TALKED ABOUT THIS EARLIER, JUST THE TWO OF US, BECAUSE WHEN I SAW THE DRAFT, UH, YOU KNOW, THE DRAFT TORAH COME UP.
I REMEMBER AS A KID GOING ON VETERAN'S DAY TO CERTAIN EVENTS IN MAN IN THE TOWN I GREW UP IN AND I JUST INITIALLY THOUGHT, WAIT A MINUTE, I KEEP MY KIDS CAN'T BE THERE AT OUR CITY'S EVENT BECAUSE THE KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL ON THE 10TH.
SO THAT PROMPTED ME TO ASK A QUESTION TO BEN AND THEN CHATTING WITH, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER BEN AND OUR, UH, OUR ONE VETERAN ON THE, OR ONE VETERAN ON THE COUNCIL.
UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK AT SOME POINT, OR I THINK IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WE NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON, YOU KNOW, AS A POLICY ON ACTUALLY HAVING EVENTS ON THE DAY, YOU KNOW, THINGS OF THAT TYPE OF SIGNIFICANCE.
CERTAINLY NOT THE, CERTAINLY NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT RELIGIOUS ONES, BUT SECULAR ONES, YOU KNOW, LIKE THAT, WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE JUST DON'T KIDS ARE LACKING IN LEARNING CIVICS, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW I THINK THESE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE MOVING FORWARD.
I RECEIVED, I RECEIVED A FEW EMAILS FROM MEMBERS OF THE 55 PLUS VETERANS GROUP, AND ONE WAS VERY, VERY, UH, ADMONISHING TO ME.
AND IT WASN'T THAT I KNOW WHO THAT IS.
THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.
UH, I CAN TELL YOU, I WORKED FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS BEFORE I RETIRED AND MY WIFE ALL WOULD GET ALWAYS, WE GET VETERANS DAY OFF AND I BEING A VETERAN, NEVER GOT IT OFF, SO I COULD NEVER ATTEND THESE EVENTS BECAUSE I LIVED IN OR WORKED IN LA AND COULDN'T GO TO LOCAL EVENTS.
BUT THAT BEING SAID, UH, I UNDERSTAND, I GOT A RESPONSE FROM BOWERY.
I SHARED THAT BACK WITH THE VETERANS GROUP.
UH, THIS MAY BE SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T CHANGE.
UM, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE, UH, ESPECIALLY FOR THE MAYOR'S GOING TO SPEAK AT THAT EVENT THAT HIS KIDS COULD HAVE COME IN AND CELEBRATED AND SEEN HIM.
UM, SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.
AND I DO REMEMBER WE DID THE 4TH OF JULY ON THE THIRD, THIS LAST YEAR AS WELL.
SO YEAH, THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS YOU CAN'T DO ON THE ACTUAL HOLIDAY.
THE MAIN THING IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE, UH, CELEBRATING IT AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE FLAG GRAZING ON OUR NEW FLAG POLE, UH, THAT HAS BEEN, UH, PUT UP.
SO IT'LL STILL BE A GREAT EVENT AND I WILL DEFINITELY BE THERE.
RYAN WILL DEFINITELY BE THERE.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN OR REALLY WANT TO CHANGE, BUT, UH, LOOK AT IT THIS WAY, ALL THE VETERANS WE CAN CELEBRATE FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW.
SO LET'S LOOK AT IT THAT WAY, BUT I DID WANT TO ASK THAT, UH, AND I HAD ANOTHER QUESTION, OH, WITH RESPECT TO THE BOOSTER VACCINE THAT'S BEING OFFERED RIGHT NOW, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S ONLY FOR PFIZER FROM MADRONA AND JOHNSON JOHNSON.
DO WE ANTICIPATE THAT IF WE GET APPROVAL, UH, TO START ADMINISTRATING OR ADMINISTERING THOSE BOOSTERS, THAT WE WILL AS A CITY, UH, SEE TO IT THAT WE CAN DO THOSE AT OUR FACILITY AS WELL.
SO, UM, ALL THE VACCINATION EVENTS ARE BEING RAN THROUGH THE COUNTY AND THEY DO HAVE BOTH PFIZER AND JOHNSON AND JOHNSON, BUT THE FDA APPROVAL HAS BEEN GIVEN ON THE JOHNSON AND JOHNSON.
SO, UM, ONCE THEY ANNOUNCED, I WOULD ANTICIPATE IF THE COUNTY DECIDES TO DO SO THAT THEY WILL RE OPERATE THOSE AS WELL, BUT THEY ARE NOT OFFERING MADONNA ARE COUNTING VACCINATION SITES.
SO JOHNSON JOHNSON, THEY HAVE THAT, BUT THEY JUST HAVEN'T RELEASED IT YET BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T GOT THE APPROVAL FROM THE FEDS TO DO IT YET.
IS THAT WHAT I UNDERSTOOD? THEY HAVE IT FOR THE APPROVED, UH, EMERGENCY USE FOR FIRST DOSE.
SO THAT'D BE MY GUESS IS THAT THE COUNTY HAS DONE PFIZER AND JOHNSON AND JOHNSON, AND THEN WHEN JOHNSON AND JOHNSON GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS AND HAS THEIR BOOSTER APPROVAL, THEN I SUSPECT THE CANDIDATES FALL THROUGH, BUT THE COUNTY HAS NOT BEEN ADMINISTERING
[01:25:01]
THE MODERNA.THOSE ARE THE ONLY QUESTIONS I HAD.
[ SAFETY UPDATES - Police and Fire]
YOU THEN WITH THAT, WE'LL BE MOVING ON TO PUBLIC SAFETY REPORTS, CHIEF WILLIAMS, UH, GOOD EVENING.I JUST HAVE A FEW QUICK THINGS, UH, THIS EVENING.

UH, ALSO WANTED TO, UH, MAKE YOU AWARE THAT, UH, WE WERE VERY PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE COMPLETED OUR BATTALION CHIEF EXAMINATION PROCESS TODAY, AND WE HAVE SEVERAL GOOD CANDIDATES THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT HERE IN THE NEW FUTURE.

WE WANT YOU TO COME OUT AND ENGAGE WITH US AND ASK US QUESTIONS AND PARTICIPATE IN THE DAY.

MAYOR JONES, VICE MAYOR MARQUEZ AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
SO I'M HUMBLED TO WORK ALONGSIDE WITH, UH, MEN AND WOMEN ACROSS THE PARKING LOT.
WE HAVE SOME GREAT, UH, DEPUTIES OVER THERE.
SO I WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO HIGHLIGHT ONE OF THE CASES THAT THEY WORK LAST WEEK ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3RD, WE HAD A VEHICLE BURGLARY AT THE CROSSINGS OF CHINO HILLS AT THE APARTMENT COMPLEX, AND THE DEPUTIES WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN SOME VIDEO SURVEILLANCE OF THAT INCIDENT.
SUBSEQUENTLY ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 4TH, WE HAD A PACKAGE AND MAIL THEFT FROM THE VILLAGE APARTMENTS, AND WE WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN EVIDENCE, WHICH INDICATED THE SAME SUSPECTS COMMITTED, BOTH THE VEHICLE BURGLARY AND THE MAIL THEFT ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER SIX, DEPUTY EMERY WHO'S WITH US TONIGHT IN THE BACK OF COUNCIL CHAMBERS LOCATED THE SUSPECT VEHICLE INSIDE HER VEHICLE AT A LOCAL BUSINESS HERE IN CHINO HILLS, SHE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ARRESTED IN ADMITTED TO BOTH THE VEHICLE BURGLARY AND THE MAIL THEFT AT THE APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH A, UH, A MALE, UH, CRIME PARTNER.
THERE'S AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION TO LOCATE THAT SUBJECT.
SHE ALSO ADMITTED TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFTS IN A NEIGHBORING CITY.
SO THANKS TO, UH, THE DEPUTIES THEY GOT, UH, THAT SUSPECT IN CUSTODY FOR TWO SEPARATE CRIMES HERE AT CHINO HILLS.
THAT'S ALL I CONGRATULATE YOU.
I WAS TAKING A NAP, WASN'T IT? YES, SIR.

YOU'RE KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE.

UH, LET'S SEE, FOR CHINO VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE, UM, HIDDEN TRAILS ELEMENTARY, UM, FOR OBTAINING THE NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON STATUS.
IT'S A VERY DISTINGUISHED AND RECOGNITION AND VERY DIFFICULT TO IT'S NATIONAL.

UM, FOR OMNI TRANS, UM, WE JUST ORDERED SOME CONTRACTS FOR BUS STOP IMPROVEMENTS OF WHICH DOES IT MATTER TO US SINCE WE DON'T HAVE BUS STOPS IN CHINO HILLS ANYMORE? UM, WE AUTHORIZE A PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR PROPOSALS OF, UM, NOW THAT OMNI RIDE IS SUCH A SUCCESS IN CHINO HILLS, SOME OF OUR SMALLER, UM, CITIES WANT TO DO IT AS WELL.
SO BLOOMINGTON IS LOOKING INTO A STUDY TO SEE THE VISIBILITY OF THAT, AND WE AUTHORIZE A CONTINUATION OF THE FREE FARES TO SCHOOLS PROGRAM.
AND IN CLOSED SESSION WAS LABOR NEGOTIATIONS AND FOR THE ENERGY ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE FOR SCAG, NOTHING TO REPORT, WE HAD SOME PRESENTATIONS.
I'LL MAKE IT BRIEF ALSO, UH, CHINO, THE SALTER AUTHORITY OR CDA.
AND WE APPROVED A COUPLE OF CONSULTANT CONTRACTS
[01:30:01]
AND ALSO, UH, WERE GIVEN A QUARTERLY REPORT.AND JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, UM, WE HAVE TWO PLANTS GOING TO, YOU KNOW, ONE CHINO, TWO, AND COMBINED IN THE PAST YEAR, THEY WERE NOW AT A HUNDRED PERCENT PRODUCTION BECAUSE THERE WAS A BIG PROJECT THAT WAS ONGOING FOR YEARS DONE.
AND THEN THIS CURRENT QUARTER, UH, THE PRODUCTION OF, UH, WATER IS AT 107%.
SO THAT WAS KIND OF A, THEY WERE, THEY'RE JUST PROUD OF THEMSELVES FOR KEEPING THE PLANTS GOING RATHER THAN, UM, THEM SHUTTING DOWN THAT HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY DUE TO PLANT FAILURES.
[ COUNCIL COMMENTS]
COMMENTS, COUNCIL MEMBER BENNETT.UH, I WANTED TO PLEASE PETER AND SUZETTE PASS ON TO CHAIRMAN HAGMAN THAT, UH, THAT EVENT LAST WEEK WAS TREMENDOUS.
AND OF COURSE THE SURPRISE OF HAVING THE, UH, AMERICAN IDOL STAR WAS JUST LIKE THE PEACE
IT WAS A GREAT EVENT AND LET THEM GET TO SEE A LOT OF OUR LOCAL, UM, COUNTERPARTS.
WHEN YOU HAVE 24 CITIES IN THE COUNTY, IT WAS A GREAT EVENT AND IT WAS A GOOD VENUE AS ALWAYS.
SO, UH, PLEASE PASS ON OUR THANKS AND CONGRATULATIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL EVENT.
UH, I WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE HARVEST FESTIVAL WAS A WELL ATTENDED.
UH, WE GOT A LITTLE SCARE ON FRIDAY WITH THE RAIN.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT AFFECTED FRIDAY NIGHT, BUT, UM, IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO ADD THAT GOING ON, PETER.
I KNOW YOU'LL BE TALKING TO US ABOUT A SUCCESSFUL WINE EVENT.
UH, THIS CITY KNOWS HOW TO PARTY, UH, IT KNOWS HOW TO MAKE MONEY AND WHEN THAT MONEY IS MADE, UH, WE DON'T SIT ON THAT MONEY.
WE GET IT OUT TO WHERE WE CAN USE IT BEST WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND, UH, YOU KNOW, EACH AND EVERY PERSON THAT'S INVOLVED WITH THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE VOLUNTEERING TO PUT ON THESE EVENTS AND MAKE THEM SUCCESSFUL, UH, JUST HELPS EVERY ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS AND MANY, MANY ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE CITY.
SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER ROGERS.
BY ALL MEANS, UM, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE, UM, CHINO HILLS RESIDENTS, LONG-TERM RESIDENT DAVID KRAMER FOR BEING NAMED CITIZENS OF THE YEAR BY CHAMPION NEWSPAPERS.
WE ALL KNOW HIM VERY WELL, VERY DESERVING.
UM, THE ARTICLE AND THE CHAMPION JUST, IT WAS REALLY GOOD.
IT JUST, IT JUST PEGGED HIM FOR THE KIND OF GUY HE IS.
AND HE'S JUST SO GIVING, AND LIKE I SAID, HIS POSITIVITY IS INFECTIOUS.
I WANT TO BE STUCK IN A BUNKER WITH HIM AT THE END OF THE WORLD.
SO I WANT TO CONGRAT, UM, WITH ALL THE OTHER BILLS THAT HAVE, UM, GOT SIGNED INTO LAW, IT'S NICE TO SEE THAT, UM, SENATE BILL 2 66, THE CHINO HILLS STATE PARK EXPANSION, BUT WENT THROUGH, UM, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WANT TO TRACK THE PROGRESS OF OUR STATE PARK IN THE TWO MORE PHASES OF EXPANSION, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO TO HILLS FOR EVERYONE.ORG.
THAT'S AN AMAZING ORGANIZATION.
THAT'S THE FOUNDERS OF THE STATE PARK AND CONTINUE TO BE THE STEWARD TO JUST PRESERVE OUR STATE PARK AND, UM, CONTINUE THE EXPANSION FOR A GREAT ORGANIZATION.
UH, JUST ONE THING TO REPORT ON, AND THAT WAS THE SCORE.
THE DODGERS SCORE DON'T RUIN IT FOR EVERYBODY.
WE HOSTED A BIG PARTY OVER THE WEEKEND FOR THE CHINO HILLS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION.
SO THE WINE WALK, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'D HEARD ABOUT IT, BUT IT TOOK PLACE THIS PAST WEEKEND TRAFFIC WAS BAD.
SO I THINK OF THAT WAS HAPPENING.
YOU CAN THANK THE HARVEST FESTIVAL FOR THAT.
A WINE WALK WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY.
UH, THE WEATHER, FIRST OF ALL, WAS PERFECT ON SATURDAY.
JUST COULDN'T ASK FOR BETTER WEATHER THAN WE HAD.
ATTENDANCE WAS MORE THAN THAT 1300 PEOPLE, WHICH WAS A SOLD OUT EVENT.
UH, THE WEEK PRIOR THE SYNERGY, IT WAS ELECTRIC REALLY, AND EVERYONE WAS, UH, IN GREAT SPIRITS, SO TO SPEAK.
UM, BUT I WANTED TO, IT, IT WENT OVER VERY WELL AND THERE WAS A NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN HERE THAT, UH, EITHER ASSISTED AS VOLUNTEERS OR ATTENDED AS ATTENDEES AND, AND JUST EVERYTHING WAS SEEMING TO HAVE COME OFF THE WAY WE PLANNED.
YEAH, JUST THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE, BUT I WOULD, WOULD I HAVE SOME THANK YOUS? UM, ALSO INCOME WISE, WHICH ARTS, RIGHT.
ONCE WE WILL SPEND IT IN THE RIGHT PLACES, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS INCLUSIVE PARK, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE, UH, ALMOST STILL WORKING ON NUMBERS.
AND SHE, AND I DIFFER ON CALCULATION OF THOSE NUMBERS, BUT WE'RE HOVERING AROUND $120,000 PROFIT
[01:35:02]
RECORD.I WANT TO THANK, UH, SPONSORS.
THE SPONSORS CAME THROUGH BIG TIME.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTED TO ASSIST THE FOUNDATION IN THIS.
AND THAT'S WHAT REALLY TURNED IT ALONG WITH ALL OF THE ATTENDANCE, UH, BUT SPONSORS, UH, OUR, OUR IN-KIND PROVIDERS, WHICH WERE SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT PROVIDED THE BEVERAGES AND FOOD, OUR WINE WALK COMMITTEE, WE STARTED PLANNING THIS IN MAY OF THIS YEAR.
SO THANK YOU TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS, UH, THAT HELPED OUT.
THERE'S PROBABLY ABOUT EIGHT OF US ON THAT COMMITTEE.
UM, OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, MANY OF THEM, UH, HELPED WITH THE PLANNING PROCESS AND VOLUNTEERED THAT DAY.
WE HAD 80 VOLUNTEERS, SO IT'S NOT EASY NECESSARILY COME UP WITH 80 VOLUNTEERS AND WE HAD 18 VOLUNTEERS TO WORK IT.
AND THEY HAD, I THINK, A GREAT TIME.
I'M LOOKING AT THREE OF THEM RIGHT THERE IN THAT EYESIGHT RIGHT THERE.
SO EVERYBODY HAD A GREAT TIME.
AND THEN OF COURSE OUR STELLAR STAFF, UM, FOR EXECUTING OUR GAME PLAN IN SUCH AN ORGANIZED AND PROFESSIONAL WAY.
SO A SPECIAL HIGH FIVES TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND SO GREAT EVENT.
AND WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU AGAIN IN A YEAR.
IT'S COMMENDABLE, ALL THE WORK THAT EVERYBODY AT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION PUTS IN.
AND IT TRULY IS JUST THE SOCIAL EVENT OF THE YEAR.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS AND THAT'S STORY AFTER STORY ABOUT THOSE SOCIAL GATHERINGS AND SOMEONE WAS SAYING THEY RAN INTO A HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND THAT THEY HADN'T SEEN FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
THE THING WAS, THEY GREW UP IN THE MIDWEST.
SO THE HIGH SCHOOL WAS IN THE MIDWEST AND THEY ENCOUNTERED EACH OTHER.
ONE WAS A PARTICIPANT OR A GUEST.
AND SO WE HEAR STORIES LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME, WHICH IS YOU'RE RIGHT.
I ATTENDED AN AD HOC COMMITTEE FOR TRANSPORTATION LAST WEEK, AND APPARENTLY WE'RE DOING A PROJECT WITH THE CITY OF CHINO AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE WORKED OUT FAIRLY SOON.
UM, ALSO THE CENSUS AND THE DISTRICT MAPS CITY MANAGER.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS INFORMATION? CURRENTLY, OUR CONSULTANT, UH, THAT'S PREPARING OUR TOOL FOR THIS, UH, DISTRICT MAPS IS WORKING, UH, WITH THE CENSUS DATA TO GET THAT INTO THE SYSTEM WE ANTICIPATE.
SHALL DO YOU KNOW WHEN WE'LL HAVE THAT? YEAH, WE'LL DEFINITELY HAVE IT BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING IN DECEMBER, BUT OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE IT UP WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THEM TOMORROW TO TRY TO MAKE OUR WEBSITE GO LIVE.
AND THAT IS WHEN PEOPLE CAN START PLAYING AROUND WITH, UM, SOME OF THE MAPS, AS SOON AS THEY GET THE DATA DOWNLOADED.
WHEN THEY RECEIVED, UM, INFORMATION FROM THE STATE, THERE WERE SOME ERRORS THAT THEY NOTICED AND SO THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THOSE ERRORS CORRECTED.
AND NOW THEY'RE JUST HAVING THE INFORMATION UPLOADED TO OUR DISTRICT, WHICH WE APPROVED TODAY, UM, THAT WE WERE HAVING THIS DISTRICT, OUR MAPPING SYSTEM.
SO THAT'LL BE UP AND RUNNING BY THE TIME OF OUR NEXT.
AND THEN I GOT SOME INFORMATION FROM, I THINK FROM CYNTHIA PERTAINING TO OUR CENSUS POPULATION IS I THOUGHT I HAD READ, DO YOU KNOW, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS NOW? BUT THE NEW CENSUS, I HAVE NOT SEEN THE NEW CITY, UH, CENSUS TOTAL.
SO WHAT'S OUT THERE IS THE STATE AND IT'S NOT CITY SPECIFIC.
SO IT'S REALLY HARD BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TWO TYPES OF NUMBERS THAT ARE COMING OUT AND WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SPECIFICS ARE.
I KNOW OUR POPULATION'S A LOT MORE THAN THAT.
SO IT'S LIKE SOME CONFUSION FOR AWHILE.
I DID TODAY, TOUR METROLINX FACILITY, IT'S CALLED THE CENTRAL MAINTENANCE FACILITY, RURAL IT'S A BIG AREA AND WE HAVE NEW SOUND WALLS THAT WE JUST PURCHASED AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY UP.
AND THE NOISE THAT THEY TAKE AWAY FROM THE LOCOMOTIVES THAT ARE RAMPING UP JUST AMAZING.
THEY JUST PROBABLY LIKE 80% OF THE NOISE WAS REDUCED.
ALSO, WE HAD A REFURBISHED BOMBARDIER CARS THAT WERE THERE, GOT TO TOUR ONE TODAY.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE 50 THAT WE REFURBISHED AND WE GOT TO SEE THAT ONE OF THEM, THE FIRST ONE THAT CAME BACK, THE LAST THING IS I JUST GOT APPOINTED FROM THE CAL CITIES.
I WILL BE VICE-CHAIR FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE STARTING IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
IT'S PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
RAY'S ALWAYS, HE DOES A GREAT JOB REPRESENTING US OUT THERE, UH, WITH THAT JUST, UH, ONE QUICK THING, CAUSE EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TOUCHED ON.
I THINK HE DID THE DIOCESE OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
UM, CYNTHIA AND I WERE ABLE TO ATTEND THE BLUE MASS, UM, THAT WAS HELD THERE.
IT'S AN ANNUAL PRAYER, UH, SERVICE FOR, UH, THOSE IN PUBLIC SAFETY LAW ENFORCEMENT FIREFIGHTERS.
[01:40:01]
CHIEF WILLIAMS WAS THERE.IT MAN, THE, UH, IT WAS, IT WAS GREAT TO SEE RIVERSIDE COUNTY.
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, A LOT OF, UH, PRISON GUARDS FROM CHINO MEN AND WOMEN'S PRISON.
YOU KNOW, WE HAD FIREFIGHTERS AND OUR OWN DEPUTIES THERE AS WELL AND UH, SHERIFF'S MANAGEMENT.
SO THANK YOU TO THEM FOR HOSTING THAT, UM, YOU CAN USE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PUBLIC SAFETY.
YOU CAN USE ALL OF THE DIVINE PROTECTION THEY CAN GET RIGHT NOW.
UM, WITH THAT WE WILL BE ADJOURNING, OH MAN, I CLOSED MY THING.
UH, TODAY WILL BE A JOURNEY IN TRIBUTE AND HONOR OF THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED AND, UH, WHO HAVE SERVED AND ARE SERVING IN THE ARMED FORCES AT HOME AND ABROAD THEIR SACRIFICE AND STRENGTH TO PROTECT THE GOALS AND IDEALS THAT HAVE MADE THIS COUNTRY.
AND WITH THAT, HAVE A GOOD EVENING.
