          AND IT WAS A VERY WARM EVENT AND I HAVE TO SAY THEY PAID SOME WONDERFUL ATTENTION TO US VETERANS BY HAVING A STANDUP AND BE APPLAUDED FOR THAT. 
          I THINK THAT'S REALLY TERRIFIC. 
          IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A GOOD THING TO START AND DO. 
          AND I WAS CON I WAS, UH, I WAS WEARING THIS HAT, SO IT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUS.

          UH, NATIONALLY MANY TIMES DURING THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC HERE, WE HAD, UH, MANY SPEAKERS HERE SAYING THAT WE DO NOT LIFT A, A SHUTDOWN, UH, UNTIL WE HAVE ZERO PEOPLE DYING IN HOSPITALS. 
          AND THERE ARE THREE STATES IN THE EAST NORTHEAST THAT ARE NOW CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT WE'RE NEVER, EVER GOING TO GET TO THAT PARTICULAR GOAL AS, AS GOOD AS IT IS. 
          UH, AND SO THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE GOOD, COMMON SENSE JUDGEMENTS ON HOW TO PROCEED WITH WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH. 
          SO THERE ARE NEW CHANGES COMING UP, UH, THAT, UH, I THINK WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP WATCHING THAT KIND OF CIRCUMSTANCE. 
          UH, THE GOVERNOR HAS, AS I WAS REMINDED THIS EVENING BY CYNTHIA, THAT, UM, THAT THE FEBRUARY 15TH IS POSSIBLY THE LAST TIME WE'LL HAVE TO WEAR MASKS, UH, INSIDE. 
          UH, WE WE'LL SEE IF THAT STAYS THAT WAY, BUT IT'S THAT KIND OF OPENNESS AND CHANGES THAT MAY BE COMING AND JUST, I'M JUST, IT'S A GOOD TIME TO ALERT PEOPLE THAT, TO BE OPEN TO THEM.

          GOD BLESS EVERY SUNDAY. 
          NEXT WE HAVE AL WHO'S OUT AGAIN, NO MATTER WHAT. 
          SO WHAT'S THE MODEL. 
          YES. 
          I BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH. 
          YOU CAN CALL ME ANYTHING YOU WANT, BUT DON'T CALL ME LATE FOR DINNER. 
          WE ARE HAPPY TO SEE YOU. 
          WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN AGES. 
          WE MISS YOU, BUDDY. 
          WELL, THE NEIGHBORHOOD VOICES, I'M GLAD THIS IS OUT. 
          I'M GLAD YOU ARE SUPPORTING THE VOICES THAT WE HAVE. 
          AND HOPEFULLY WE MAY OPEN THE EARS OF SACRAMENTO. 
          WHEN THEY TALKED ABOUT THE HOUSING THAT YOU GUYS AGREED WITH NAT PUT ON BY THE COMMUNITY CENTER, EVERYBODY VOICED HER OPINION, AND I WAS JUST WATCHING AND LISTENING. 
          ONE THING THEY HAVE NOT TALKED ABOUT AND ALL OF THE HOUSING THAT THEY'RE ALMOST FORCING US TO DO ALL THE 3,279 HOUSES UNITS THAT THEY WANT CHINO HILLS TO DO WITHIN EIGHT YEARS. 
          LET ME GIVE YOU SOME STATISTICS. 
          ONE PERSON WILL USE 30,940 GALLONS OF WATER PER YEAR TO DOUBLE THAT THREE, TRIPLE THAT FOR IT'S OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND, MULTIPLY THAT WITH ALL THE UNITS THAT THEY WANT TO BUILD 3000 TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY NINE ONE PERSON IN EACH OF THOSE HOUSES OR WHATEVER IT'S GOING TO BE. 
          WELL USE 101 MILLION, 450, 2,260 FOR ONE PERSON IN THE SPAN. 
          AND WE HAVE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY SITUATION FOR THE DROUGHT AND WE'RE ON REGULATIONS. 
          YOU CAN ONLY WATER SO MUCH, BUT THE PEOPLE IN SACRAMENTO, THEY DON'T SEE THAT. 
          I DOUBT IF THEY COME HERE, LET'S SAY THERE'S THREE PEOPLE IN EACH OF THOSE HOUSES. 
          AT THE END OF EIGHT YEARS, IT WILL BE 304 MILLION, 356,780 FOR THREE OCCUPANTS OF THOSE RESIDENT UNITS. 
          FOUR OF THEM WOULD BE ALMOST 500 MILLION GALLONS A YEAR THAT'S ALLOWED, AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH RAIN. 
          IT'S ONLY RAIN IN A PERIOD OF 25 YEARS, TWO SEASONS THAT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF RAIN. 
          THE LAST ONE, THE WILD FLOWERS WENT RAMPANT AND WE HAD BEAUTIFUL HILLS. 
          I LIKE TO SEE LIKE THE PEOPLE FROM EDISON WHEN THEY CAME DOWN TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON HERE, AND YOU GUYS PICKED UP THE GAUNTLET AND WE FOUGHT TOGETHER. 
          WE SPENT $4 MILLION AND THE TOWERS CAME DOWN AND I HOPE THAT PEOPLE IN SACRAMENTO WERE REASSESS AND COME DOWN AND SEE THAT WE HAVE HILLS THERE. 
          PLUS WE HAVE A LOT OF TREES. 
          MY FIRE INSURANCE WAS CANCELED. 
          IT WENT FROM $1,300 A YEAR TO OVER 11900% INCREASE. 
          AND 
          [00:20:01]
I'M SURE OTHER RESIDENTS ARE HAVING THE SAME COMPLICATIONS.

          UM, THIS MONTH IN PARTICULAR, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT CATS AND NOW, UM, PEOPLE IN OUR MOBILE HOME PARK HAVE TO KEEP THEIR CATS INSIDE BECAUSE KYLIE'S LOVE CATS FOR DINNER. 
          SO THE RULES FOR CATS ARE THE SAME AS DOGS. 
          THEY HAVE TO BE ON A LEASH IN A, IN A, UM, KID'S STROLLER BASKET THAT THEY WALK AROUND THE PARK, BUT, OR, UM, IN THEIR OWN HOMES. 
          UM, I'VE SEEN SOME CATS IN OUR PARK, BUT IT'S VERY RARE BECAUSE THEY DON'T LAST LONG. 
          UM, WE HAVE WONDERFUL BIRD LIFE IN THAT AREA OF THE PARK, AROUND THE LAKE. 
          AND, UM, WE'VE SEEN, UM, ELEGANCE. 
          ONE OF THE LADIES THAT I TALKED TO THIS WEEK HAS A PICTURE OF 14 PELICANS SITTING IN A ROW ON, UH, ON THE DECK OF THE LAKE. 
          UM, THERE'S THERE'S CRANES AND THE CANADIAN GEESE ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND DUCKS AND MUD HANDS, AND ALL BAGS OF OTHER WILDLIFE. 
          UM, I'M, I'VE TALKED TO JAY, I KNOW JAY, VERY WELL OF JANE GREENY AND JAY KNOWS THAT THE LAW FOR PUTTING, UM, FANCY NOW PASSED WILL BE AROUND THE POOL, BUT THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A LAW THAT HAS TO BE AROUND THE LAKE. 
          I'M CONCERNED THAT IF IT'S A FAMILY PARTY THAT IS ASKING FOR A DISASTER TO HAPPEN IN THAT LAKE FOR KIDS, EITHER FALLING IN, JUMPING IN SWIMMING, IN, OR THROWING ROCKS STICKS AND OTHER STUFF IN TRASH, UM, THAT'S WHY WE'RE PROPOSING TO JAY THAT WE MAKE IT SENIOR CITIZEN PARK. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS. 
          TOTALLY APPRECIATE IT. 
          AND IF YOU CAN GIVE THAT TO CHERYL. 
          YEAH. 
          THE NEWSLETTER AND I DO, I REALLY DO LOVE YOUR PARK. 
          IT'S BEAUTIFUL. 
          YEP. 
          AND THE LAKE, THEY ALL DO. 
          THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          CHERYL, WAS THAT THE LAST COMMENT? THAT IS THE LAST COMMENT.

          [8.  Authorize execution of five-year agreement with San Bernardino County Fire Protection District in amount not-to-exceed $657,405.71 for Household Hazardous Waste Management]
EIGHT, NUMBER EIGHT IS TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A FIVE-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT AND AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $657,405 AND 71 CENTS FOR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT. 
          DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR DID YOU WANT A CLARIFICATION? AND I JUST WANTED THE PUBLIC TO LEARN THE INFORMATION I DID. 
          ROD WAS HELPFUL. 
          SO THIS IS GETTING BACK TO THE PAINT I HAVE IN MY GARAGE THAT IT'S NOT CONVENIENT TO DISPOSE OF AND I'M TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. 
          SO, UM, SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY THROUGH THE COUNTY TO DROP OFF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TWICE A MONTH IN THE CITY OF CHINO. 
          SO ROD, CAN YOU LET PEOPLE KNOW 
          [00:30:01]
LIKE WHEN THAT IS AND HOW THEY WOULD GO ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE FUND IT YEARLY TO THE TUNE, I THINK OF ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
          SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT OPPORTUNITY TWICE A MONTH. 
          ON SATURDAY MORNINGS, THEY CAN VISIT THE CHINO CORPORATE YARD OFF OF SCHAEFER AND THEY CAN VISIT THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITY AND DROP OFF PAINT. 
          HE WASTES, UH, OTHER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS LIKE THAT AT THAT FACILITY. 
          AND THEN I'M SURE IT'S ALREADY ON OUR WEBSITE, BEN, BUT IF MAYBE WE CAN JUST DO A RESURGENCE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, UM, LIKE SOME OTHER CITIES HAVE DONE ABOUT TOXIC WASTE DISPOSAL BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. 
          UM, I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL AS WELL. 
          SURE. 
          WE'LL WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY RELATIONS TEAM TO PROMOTE, UH, UH, THIS, THE SERVICE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN SUSAN, UH, ACTUALLY LET ME KNOW TOO, BUT IF SOMEONE COULD CONFIRM THAT, THAT IF YOU GO TO A HOME DEPOT OR LOWE'S, EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T BUY THE PAINT THERE, THAT YOU WILL, THEY'LL TAKE THE PAINT. 
          AND THEN ALSO THERE'S SOME KIND OF CHEMICAL YOU CAN PUT IN YOUR PAINT THAT HARDENS IT. 
          AND ONCE THE PAINT IS HARD AND YOU CAN THROW IT IN YOUR PERSONAL WASTE CANS. 
          SO JUST WOULDN'T GET THAT INFORMATION. 
          I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. 
          AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE WITH THAT. 
          I WILL MAKE A MOTION. 
          OKAY. 
          I JUST HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, UH, MEDICAL WAYS TOO, SO WE CAN ACTUALLY DROP OFF MEDICAL WAYS TO AT THESE LOCATIONS. 
          CORRECT. 
          I KNOW THAT OUR HOLLER, A NEW HOLLER WE'LL HAVE A, UH, SHARPS PROGRAM, THE DROP-OFF SHARPS ITEMS I WOULD HAVE TO DOUBLE-CHECK I WILL VERIFY THAT AND WE'LL PUT THAT ON. 
          YOU CAN, BECAUSE I DO IT. 
          OKAY. 
          THERE'S ALSO A PLACE IN ONTARIO, TOO, WHICH ISN'T TOO FAR FROM CHINO HILLS THAT WE CAN GO TO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GOT A MOTION. 
          SECOND VOTE, PLEASE.

NUMBER NINE. 
          AND I DO HAVE A QUESTION HERE. 
          I THINK IT'S REMARKABLE. 
          THE STAFF BASICALLY IS MOVING THIS FORWARD, UM, CITY MANAGER. 
          CAN YOU TELL ME THE MONIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING ON THIS? THIS WILL OFFSET SOME OF THE COSTS FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE LATE ON THEIR PAYMENTS, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR. 
          I'M GOING TO ASK OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR TO SPEAK TO THE SPECIFICS OF THIS PROGRAM, BUT IN ESSENCE, WHAT IT'LL WILL ALLOW IS THE STATE FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR, UH, OUTSTANDING DELINQUENT BILLS WITHIN A TIMEFRAME ASSOCIATED WITH THE COBIT, UH, VIRUS. 
          YES, WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED, UM, THE WATER MONEY AND WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF APPLYING THAT IT'S VERY TIME CONSUMING AND CUMBERSOME, BUT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH IT. 
          WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE LIST. 
          AND THEN NOW WE'RE APPLYING FOR THE SEWER PORTION OF THE UTILITY BILL FOR THIS TIME PERIOD, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO APPLY IT AS WELL. 
          I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS FOR HELPING THE PEOPLE HERE IN OUR CITY THAT ARE HAVING ISSUES, HAVING PROBLEMS. SO THANK YOU FOR YOU. 
          BE DILIGENT, TRYING TO GET MONIES TO HELP OUT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN HERE IN THE CITY.

          NEXT IS ITEM 12 
          [12.  Adopt budget amendment resolution for Fiscal Year 2021-22 increasing Measure I Fund budget in amount of $117,905 and authorize execution of Agreement for Reimbursement with City of Chino in amount not-to-exceed $117,905 for Pine Avenue Emergency Road Repair at Chino Creek]
TO ADOPT A BUDGET AMENDMENT RESOLUTION INCREASING MEASURE. 
          I FUND BUDGET AND AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT FOR REIMBURSEMENT WITH CITY OF CHINO FOR PINE AVENUE EMERGENCY ROAD REPAIR AT CHINO. 
          CAN I PULL THIS ITEM FOR SPECIFIC REASON? I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE SPENDING $117,905 TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THE DRAINAGE AND SEWAGE. 
          BUT, UM, I GOT TO LISTEN TO THE CHINO COUNCIL MEETING AND I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC FLOW AND I BROUGHT THAT ATTENTION AND THAT INFORMATION TO OUR CITY MANAGER. 
          AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD MAYBE SORT OF ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ON THIS, ON WHAT WE'RE DOING TO GET BETTER INFORMATION. 
          YES, MA'AM MARQUEZ. 
          SO THE ITEM BEFORE THE COUNCIL TONIGHT IS AS YOU POINTED OUT A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR WORK THAT WAS DONE TO, UH, REPAIR, UH, DAMAGED FROM A 2009 STORM TO THE, UH, UH, CREEK CONVENIENCE. 
          UM, UH, THIS PROJECT IS SPECIFICALLY LIMITED TO THAT, UH, RESTORATION, UH, THAT, UH, SEGMENT, UH, OF THE CREEK CROSSES, UH, PINE AVENUE AND PINE AVENUE, UH, WOULD NOT HAVE ANY ABILITY TO HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, TRAFFIC WITHOUT THIS FIRST PHASE. 
          UH, I BELIEVE IT WAS DISCUSSED AT THE CHINO COUNCIL MEETING FUTURE EFFORTS TO EITHER ENHANCE THIS PROJECT TO, UH, ALLOW IT TO CREATE ACCESS ON PINE AVENUE AND POTENTIALLY 
          [00:35:01]
LOOKING AT, UH, FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD, ADDITIONAL ACCESS. 
          UH, THIS PROJECT THOUGH IS NOT AT ALL, UH, CREATES ANY CONTINGENCIES FOR THOSE AREAS TO OPEN UP. 
          UH, THE REASON THERE IS A COST SHARING AGREEMENT HERE IS BECAUSE A PORTION OF IT IS IN OUR JURISDICTION, BUT MANY OF THE, UH, ROADWAYS, UH, FURTHER, UH, THAT WEST AND NORTH OF THIS LOCATION, UH, ARE WITHIN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS IS, UH, A JURISDICTION AND THEREBY CONTROL. 
          AND SO I THINK, UH, TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, ANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT OPENING UP ROADWAYS, UH, FOR THE FUTURE, OUR LITTLE PREMATURE AT THIS TIME, THE CONVERSATION FROM HER PARTNER CITY AND YOU KNOW WHAT, THERE THEY'VE BEEN GOOD PARTNERS OVER THE YEAR, THE CITY OF CHINO, IF THEIR DESIRE WAS TO MOVE THIS FORWARD, WE WOULD HAVE MORE INPUT ON THAT DIRECTION AS FAR AS WHAT THE COST WOULD BE AND IF IT'S APPROPRIATE TO OUR CITY. 
          SO THIS WOULD COME BACK IN FRONT OF US, CORRECT? ABSOLUTELY. 
          THE WAY THIS, THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, UH, CAME FORWARD IS CHINO STAFF, UH, OUTLINED THE PROJECT AND THEN PRESENTED TO THE CITY, UH, WHY IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR US THE SAME, ANY FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS, ESPECIALLY ON OUR, UH, JURISDICTION, UH, ROADWAYS, UH, THEY WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH US AS PARTNERS, WHICH IS OUR, OUR PAST PRACTICE. 
          IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, BUT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CONVERSATION DOWN THE ROAD, LITERALLY, LITERALLY DOWN THE ROAD. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, ONE QUESTION FOR BEN AND BEN. 
          IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING WHEN I WATCHED THAT. 
          SO WAS IT 2009, THE LAST TIME THAT THAT SECTION WAS OPEN TO PARTICULAR TRAFFIC AT ONE TIME IT WAS OPEN. 
          I JUST KNOW FROM THE STAFF REPORT, THE COMMENT OF THE TIMEFRAME, I BELIEVE WAS 2009 WHEN THIS PARTICULAR SEGMENT, UH, WASHED OUT. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHEN WE LAST USED THAT ROADWAY, BUT IT'S BEEN SIMILAR TIMEFRAME. 
          IT'S BEEN OVER A DECADE SINCE FAIRFIELD RANCH ROAD WAS USED. 
          AND I BELIEVE, UH, THIS SEGMENT OF PINE, UH, FROM ROUGHLY EL PRADO ROAD TO, UH, FAIRFIELD RANCH ROAD HAS HAD NO THE HICKEY SOLAR ACCESS FOR, WELL OVER 10 PLUS YEARS, IT'S GOING TO SAY THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE LIVED THERE. 
          I'VE NEVER SEEN HER. 
          YEAH. 
          AND MOM, WE WERE ON PARKS AND REC COMMISSION AND BUILDING A BIG LEAGUE DREAMS. I DON'T THINK IT WAS INACTIVE USE AT THE TIME. 
          AND THAT WAS BUILT, UH, WHAT, 15, 16, 17 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION PRIOR TO THE 71 USED TO KEEP PRIOR ISSUES AT THAT TIME. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, FAIRFIELD RANCH ROAD WAS CLOSED OFF IN 2001 AND THAT WAS, UH, THAT MAKES YOU A FLOODING DAMAGE TO THE ROAD. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. BENNETT. 
          YEP. 
          OKAY. 
          I'LL MOVE THE ITEM. 
          I'LL SECOND. 
          IT MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO. 
          THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEMS INITIATED BY COUNCIL ITEM 14 
          [14.  Adopt a resolution expressing support for Brand-Huang-Mendoza Tripartisan Land Use Initiative to amend Article XI of the California Constitution to make zoning and land use issues community affairs and not of State interest]
IS TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR BRAN WANG MENDOZA, TRI PARTISAN LAND USE INITIATIVE. 
          AND WE DO HAVE TWO SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO AT THIS TIME WE DO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS, CORRECT. 
          THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING. 
          THIS IS JUST A ITEM THAT WAS INITIATED AND I MISREAD, SO I APOLOGIZE. 
          YEAH. 
          IF WE COULD HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS, OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS AL MATTA. 
          MR. MATTA, DID YOU STILL WANT TO MR. AMATO? OKAY, GOT IT. 
          SO MR. MATTER WILL NOT BE SPEAKING NEXT WILL BE MR. ESPARZA. 
          LOUIS' PARSA. 
          THANK YOU EVERYONE. 
          UH, THANKS. 
          UH, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THIS ITEM TODAY BECAUSE, UH, I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO SUPPORT THE INITIATIVE, WHICH IS ALSO PART OF THE, UH, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD VOICES, UH, EFFORTS. 
          UM, I WANTED TO POINT OUT, UH, AND ASK A COUPLE QUESTIONS. 
          ONE POINT IS, IS THAT ON TODAY AGENDA WE HAVE ON THE APPROVAL OR PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE HOUSING OF THE HOUSING, UH, GENERAL PLAN UPDATE. 
          AND IT KIND OF STRIKES ME THAT WE SHOULD BE ADVOCATING TO CONTROL OUR RIGHTS AS A CITY TO BE ABLE TO PLAN HOW OUR CITY IS BUILT OUT. 
          AND YET WE ARE SURRENDERING TO, TO ENACTING THESE A 3,200 PLUS EXTRA MANDATED UNITS BY THE, BY THE STATE, UH, IN THE, IN BASICALLY THE OTHER, THE OTHER BREATH. 
          SO, UM, 
          [00:40:01]
I FIND THAT VERY IRONIC THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING TO KIND OF DO TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN. 
          I'LL HOLD THAT ONE. 
          MY QUESTION THAT RELATED TO THAT IS, UH, IF THE INITIATIVE DOES PASS, UM, WHICH GIVES US A RIGHT TO, TO PLANNING AND TO, UH, TO AVOID OUT ANY MANDATES FROM THE STATE, DO WE HAVE TO INCLUDE ANY KIND OF A CLAUSE AND THE UPDATE TO THE GENERAL PLAN, MEANING, AND WE ADDED ADD A CLAUSE, OR SHOULD WE ADD A CLAUSE TO THAT PLAN THAT SAYS, SHOULD THIS INITIATIVE PASS OR SHOWED OTHER RIGHTS BE CHANGED THAT WE HA WE RETAIN THE RIGHTS TO, TO NULLIFY THOSE 3,200 MANDATED UNITS? AND THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE MY SENSE IS THAT ONCE WE APPROVE IT, IT BECOMES ESSENTIALLY LAW. 
          AND, UH, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FIVE YEARS FROM NOW WHEN WE GET MAYBE, OR EVEN THIS, THIS NEXT COMING YEAR, WE GET APPROVAL THAT BECAUSE WE PASSED THE UPDATE, WE NOW HAVE NO RIGHTS BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED IT. 
          SO THAT'S MY QUESTION FOR THIS EVENING. 
          I WANT TO KNOW IF WE CAN MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE PLAN THAT ADDS A CLAUSE THAT GIVES US THE RIGHT TO CANCEL THE MANDATED UNITS. 
          UH, IF WE, IF WE GAIN THE RIGHTS BY PEACE INITIATIVES OR OTHER MEANS, THANKS VERY MUCH, JOHN, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT OR DID I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THERE WAS A CLOSET WITH SUPERSEDE THE, UH, THE HOUSING ELEMENT DOWN THE ROAD AT THIS POINT, AN INITIATIVE PETITION, IF YOU WERE TO MAKE IT TO THE BALLOT? UM, IT WOULD BE RETROACTIVE WITH REGARD TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT SACRAMENTO HAS DONE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. 
          UM, SO, UM, THAT IS PART OF THE LEGISLATION. 
          UM, AS FAR AS THE OTHER QUESTION THAT WAS RAISED IS WHY IS THE CITY CONSIDERING TO, UH, ON ONE HAND, UH, OPPOSE OR SUPPORT THE INITIATIVE PETITION AND, UH, WHAT MIGHT BECOME ABOUT MEASURE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, UH, ADOPTING THE HOUSING ELEMENT? WELL, IF THE CITY DOESN'T ADOPT THE HOUSING ELEMENT, UM, AND MOVE FORWARD, IT CAN BE SUBJECT TO, UH, SEVERE PENALTIES FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING FINANCIAL PENALTIES. 
          THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN, UM, LAW ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS, UH, ALONG WITH THE LAST RECENT LEGISLATION. 
          AND SO, UM, IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY RISKY TO NOT MOVE FORWARD AND COMPLY WITH THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, GIVEN THE VERY SIGNIFICANT FINES AND ISSUES THE CITY WOULD FACE IF THIS LEGEND, IF THIS BALLOT MEASURE ULTIMATELY, UH, QUALIFIES AND IT PASSES, THEN THAT WILL PUT THE CITY IN A VERY DIFFERENT POSITION THAN IT IS TODAY. 
          AND, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S THE ANSWER TO THOSE QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          APPRECIATE THAT. 
          NO OTHER COMMENTS JOIN. 
          NO, I AGREE WITH WHAT THE CITY ATTORNEY SAID AND, UM, HOUSING ELEMENT, UM, LAND USE PLANS, GENERAL PLAN CAN BE AMENDED. 
          IT'S SOMETHING THE CITY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO. 
          SO IF THIS INITIATIVE WAS TO PASS, AND IF THAT PASSING OF THAT INITIATIVE WAS TO MODIFY OUR RENA REQUIREMENTS OR WHAT'S IN OUR HOUSING ELEMENT, WE WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVISIT THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          MR. CITY MANAGER, YOU'RE GIVING THE PRESENTATION ON THIS BRIEFLY MAYOR, UH, THIS INITIATIVE, UH, UH, AS MANY HAVE BEEN TRACKING THE ISSUE ON THE COUNCIL A LOT IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM WHERE WE CONSTANTLY SEEK, UH, UH, LOCAL CONTROL. 
          UH, THIS COUNCIL, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR SEVERAL YEARS, UH, WITHIN THE GUIDANCE, UH, WITHIN THE LAWS ASSOCIATED WITH, UH, OUR, UH, HOUSING OBLIGATIONS. 
          UH, THIS IS ANOTHER, UH, ATTEMPT TO BRING THAT, UH, AUTHORITY BACK TO LOCAL, UH, AGENCIES. 
          IT DOESN'T SEEK TO, UH, COMPLETELY ELIMINATE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. 
          IT JUST GOES TO SAY THAT, UH, LOCAL AGENCIES KNOW BETTER. 
          AND I KNOW THAT ALL OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE APPROACHED ME AT SOME POINT IN TIME, UH, RELATED TO THIS SPECIFIC INITIATIVE AND, AND TO TAKE APPROPRIATE STEPS AGAINST OTHER, UH, LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS. 
          SO WE JUST BROUGHT IT FORWARD FOR THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION TONIGHT. 
          [00:45:02]
I WANT TO GO TO MY, TO MY RIGHT HERE. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? SPRINT? NO, NOT NECESSARILY A QUESTION, BUT MORE OF A COMMENT. 
          I THINK YOU'VE HEARD THIS COUNCIL FOR YEARS, UH, REITERATE THE FACT THAT WE WANT TO TRY TO CLAWBACK LOCAL CONTROL AND NO MATTER IF, YOU KNOW, EVEN WITH OUR EFFORTS TO LOBBY OUR LEGISLATORS AND THE GOVERNOR, THAT'S, UH, IT'S COME DOWN TO GOING BACK TO THE PEOPLE TO SUPPORT AN INITIATIVE LIKE THIS. 
          SO I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW WE VOTE TONIGHT AND HOPEFULLY GETTING, YOU KNOW, GETTING SOME OF THIS POWER BACK FOR OUR OWN DESTINY AS A CITY. 
          THANK YOU, BRIAN. 
          I WAS GOING TO GO A LITTLE DEEPER ON THIS AS FAR AS I WAS FIRED UP AFTER I READ ALL THESE REPORTS AND SIGNED UP FOR THE, THIS, AND I STARTED WRITING A LOT OF INFORMATION DOWN AND I WON'T GO THROUGH IT ALL, BUT, UH, IT KIND OF GETS YOU GOING. 
          AND THERE'S SO MANY OF US WE'VE EXPRESSED OVER THE LAST YEAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS HAS BEEN INTENSE, AS FAR AS PUTTING TOGETHER THE HOUSING ELEMENT. 
          AND WE EACH USE OUR OWN TERMS. I'VE BEEN USING THE TERM, THEY FOISTED OR FORCED ALL THESE HOUSES OR HOUSING UNITS INTO OUR PROGRAM FOR THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS OR SO TO AT LEAST PROGRAM THEM. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT LEADS TO THE CABALLEROS TYPE DEBATE THAT TOOK PLACE RECENTLY, WHERE IT'S, IT'S FORCING US TO FALL IN LINE WITH THE, UM, LAWS ARE COMING OUT OF SACRAMENTO AND IT MAKES YOU WONDER, WHO ARE WE ELECTING IN SACRAMENTO THAT DICTATES THIS AS THE TERM IS BEING USED. 
          ONE SIZE FITS ALL FOR ALL CITIES THAT HAVE TO FOLLOW THESE RENA NUMBERS OR THESE, UM, REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS NUMBERS TO TELL THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS. 
          AND I KNOW IT GOES, IT KIND OF TRICKLES DOWN TO OTHER AGENCIES THAT MAKE THE NUMBERS ASSIGNMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO PUT IN 3,729 OR PROGRAM FOR THIRTY SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE MORE UNITS ON TOP OF WHAT WE ALREADY HAD PROGRAMMED FOR IN OUR, IN OUR HISTORY. 
          I THOUGHT WE WERE DOWN TO A COUPLE THOUSAND UNITS IF EVERY BELLY BUDDY BUILT OUT WHAT THEY HAD AT POTENTIAL A BUILD OUT. 
          UM, SO I'M SURE MY COLLEAGUES WILL GO DEEPER ON THIS ALSO, BUT SACRAMENTO IS TELLING US WHAT TO DO, AND WE HAVE TO MAKE A COURSE CHANGE ALONG THE WAY TO ELECT INDIVIDUALS THAT AREN'T GOING TO ACT AS IF THEY'RE MORE EXPERIENCED THAN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE ELECTED BY YOU TO HELP MAKE DECISIONS AND POLICIES FOR OUR OWN PARTICULAR CITY. 
          AGAIN, ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL. 
          IT DOESN'T FIT CHINO HILLS. 
          LIKE IT MIGHT FIT ANOTHER CITY THAT MAYBE WANTS MORE RESIDENTIAL UNITS. 
          SO KIND OF WHERE I'M GOING. 
          AND AGAIN, I HAVE A LOT OF STUFF WRITTEN HERE THAT WERE JUST, I JUST WENT OFF ON PAPER HERE, UH, ON THESE INITIATIVES THAT WE'RE BEING TOLD TO DO BY SACRAMENTO BOTTOM LINE. 
          DON'T ELECT PEOPLE THAT FALL IN LINE WITH THIS TYPE OF THINKING AND ALLOW THE CITIES THAT YOU ELECT YOUR CITY GOVERNMENT TO MAKE DECISIONS. 
          AND WE'RE THE ONES THAT ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS WERE HIP DEEP. 
          EVERY, EVERY TIME WE MEET WITH BEN OR JOANNE, WE KNOW THE PULSE OF OUR CITY. 
          WE KNOW THE LAND DYNAMICS OF OUR CITY AND TO PROGRAM IN 700 UNITS AT THE SHOP OR AT SHOPS TO LOCATE 700. 
          HOW TALL ARE WE GOING TO GO, 12 STORIES TO PUT IN THESE. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I KIND OF REALLY GOT FIRED UP AND I'M KIND OF PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW AT SACRAMENTO TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WE'RE ELECTING THE WRONG PEOPLE. 
          DON'T ELECT PEOPLE THAT HAVE VOTED FOR THESE TYPES OF LAWS THAT TAKE OUR ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS AT YOUR LEVEL AND TELL US WHAT TO DO. 
          I WOULDN'T ELECT ANYBODY THAT'S BEEN IN THAT ROLE OR ANYBODY THAT'S RUNNING FOR THAT ROLE RIGHT NOW, AS FAR AS VOTING FOR THESE PARTICULAR LAWS. 
          AND IT'S NOT JUST THAT, BUT HOUSING IS WHAT'S ON THE DOCKET. 
          SO I'LL STAY WITH THAT. 
          SORRY, I NORMALLY DON'T GO OFF ON THIS, BUT I MAY COME BACK AROUND WHEN I THINK OF OTHER THINGS. 
          SO I'LL YIELD THE REST OF MY MINUTES TO MY COLLEAGUES DOWN HERE AT PILLAR, BUT I WANT TO RESERVE SOME JUST IN CASE MR. BENNETT. 
          UH, I SPENT 14 YEARS ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION. 
          UH, MY PROFESSION WAS A PROPERTY TAX CONSULTANT. 
          I REPRESENTED LARGE PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR PROPERTIES. 
          I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN PROPERTY, OWNER RIGHTS. 
          WE HAVE PROPERTIES THAT ARE NOT BUILT ON YET WITHIN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS. 
          AND IF, AND WHEN THOSE OWNERS OF THOSE PROPERTIES WANT TO DEVELOP THEM, ACCORDING TO CURRENT ZONING STANDARDS, THEY OUGHT TO HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DO IT. 
          BUT FOR US TO PUT AN OVERLAY AND US 
          [00:50:01]
BEING THE STATE MANDATE, PUTTING AN OVERLAY ON THEIR PROPERTY, YOU SAYING, NO, YOU CAN'T BUILD JUST, YOU KNOW, 50 HOMES OR WHATEVER. 
          YOU'RE NOW GOING TO HAVE TO PARK A COUPLE HUNDRED UNITS ON YOUR PROPERTY. 
          AND IF YOU WANT TO DEVELOP IT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD MULTI-FAMILY HIGH DENSITY OF THREE AND FOUR STORY, HIGH APARTMENTS TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE STATE MANDATE. 
          WELL, JUST LIKE PETER GOT STARTED WITH THIS THING. 
          UH, THE STATE IS OUT OF CONTROL. 
          WE UNDERSTAND THERE'S A HOUSING NEED, BUT THE REALITY IS MOST PEOPLE OUT THERE CAN'T AFFORD A HOUSE TO START WITH, ESPECIALLY IN CHINO HILLS. 
          WE'RE BLESSED IN THAT WE HAVE A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY WITH HIGH MEDIAN INCOMES, EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT TO PUSH STANDARDS ON US THAT DON'T APPLY TO OUR PROPERTIES. 
          IT'S JUST UNREASONABLE, BUT WE ARE ELECTING THE WRONG PEOPLE WHEN THEY WANT TO USURP OUR POWER AND AUTHORITY TO ZONE OUR OWN PROPERTIES AND DEAL WITH OUR OWN PROPERTY OWNERS. 
          THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT. 
          SO I THINK THAT THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO AS AN INDIVIDUAL IS SIGN THESE PETITIONS, GET THIS THING QUALIFIED, AND LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF WE CAN TAKE BACK THAT CONTROL. 
          AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, THE IDEA THAT YOU CAN TAKE AND BUILD UP TO FOUR UNITS ON A SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL LOT, WHERE BASICALLY THE STATE'S TELLING US THAT THEY BASICALLY ARE THROWING ALL OF OUR CITY ORDINANCES AND DEVELOPMENT LAWS RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW. 
          AND WHY SHOULD THEY BE ABLE TO DO THAT? WE SHOULD HAVE LOCAL CONTROL. 
          IF YOU DON'T HAVE LOCAL CONTROL, THEN YOUR VOICE. 
          AND MY VOICE IS NOT BEING HEARD IS BEING JUST OVERWRITTEN BY WHATEVER SOMEBODY IN SACRAMENTO DECIDES IS BEST FOR OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO YEAH, IT'S SOMETHING THAT DOES GET VERY FRUSTRATED. 
          AND PETER AND I ARE IN THIS, I THINK WE ALL SEE EVERYBODY APPEARS IN THE SAME BOAT AND SAME MINDSET WE'VE GOT TO TAKE BACK CONTROL, AND THIS IS A GOOD WAY OF DOING IT. 
          WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. 
          LONG-TERM IF IT QUALIFIES AND IT PASSES, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IMPACT IT WILL HAVE ON THE RENA FORCED NUMBERS ON US. 
          BUT THE ANSWER LEWIS IS ONE QUESTION ABOUT GETTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE, WHILE THE REALITY IS THE TAIL IS WAGGING THE DOG AND THE TAIL IS, IS SACRAMENTO. 
          AND WE'VE GOT TO GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF TO WHERE WE NOW REGAIN CONTROL LOCALLY. 
          AND THIS IS A FIRST STEP THAT WE CAN TAKE TONIGHT TO GET THIS, TO ENCOURAGE GETTING THIS INITIATIVE QUALIFIED. 
          BUT AT THE SAME TIME, AS, AS OUR CITY MANAGER MENTIONED, AND OUR CITY ATTORNEY HAS TALKED ABOUT, WE CAN'T NOT DO SOMETHING WITH THE HOUSING ELEMENT, WE HAVE TO MOVE IT FORWARD. 
          LET'S PRAY THAT WE CAN GET THIS LEGISLATION OR THIS INITIATIVE QUALIFIED THAT WILL NEGATE IF YOU WILL, THE ARENA FORCED NUMBERS ON US. 
          SO WE CAN ADJUST OUR HOUSING ELEMENT, BUT WE HAVE NO CHOICE, BUT TO BASICALLY DO BOTH THINGS TONIGHT, AND IT DOES SEEM LIKE THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE, BUT THE REALITY IS WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH THE HOUSING UNIT ELEMENT AND GET THAT PASSED. 
          SO WE DON'T GET PENALIZED, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO ENCOURAGE THIS INITIATIVE SO THAT YOU OUT THERE IN THE AUDIENCE AND THAT THEY'RE HEARING US, WE'LL SIGN THESE PETITIONS, GET IT QUALIFIED FOR THE BALLOT AND LET THE PEOPLE VOTE FOR WHAT'S BEST FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES AND TAKE THAT POWER THAT THE STATE HAS AWAY FROM. 
          SO THAT'S ALRIGHTY. 
          GOOD JOB. 
          GOOD COMMENTS. 
          JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS TOO. 
          SO I AGREE WITH WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING. 
          UM, WE ALL AGREE. 
          WE CAN, WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          SO WHAT IS THAT? WHAT DO WE DO NOW? SO LIKE ART SAID, THERE'S PETITIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE CIRCULATED LIKE THIS. 
          SO I'VE HAD THANK YOU MARIANNE, FOR RUNNING THAT ARTICLE, I GENERATED A LOT OF REACHING OUT FROM RESIDENTS SAYING, HOW CAN I HELP? THIS IS GREAT, BUT IT'S NOT ME GIVING YOU THESE PAPERS LIKE THIS. 
          YOU NEED TO GO ONTO THE WEBSITE, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, VOICES.COM AND YOU NEED TO VOLUNTEER AND YOU NEED TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO GET THESE PETITIONS. 
          YOU HAVE TO WATCH A 30 MINUTE VIDEO BECAUSE THEY IT'S VERY, IT'S A VERY SERIOUS MATTER COLLECTING SIGNATURES FOR A STATE INITIATIVE. 
          SO YOU NEED TO WATCH THAT VIDEO. 
          THEN THEY'LL MAIL YOU THEM AND THEY'LL TELL YOU HOW TO RETURN THEM. 
          UM, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. 
          IT'S LIKE WE CAN SIT UP HERE AND SAY HOW WE FEEL. 
          THAT'S NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING. 
          THEY NEED OVER A MILLION SIGNATURES, I THINK BY MARCH OR APRIL. 
          AND THEY ARE FAR FROM THAT FAR FROM THAT. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WE ALL NEED TO PUT OUR MONEY WHERE OUR MOUTH IS AND WE NEED TO GO OUT AND WE NEED TO HIT THE STREETS AND WE NEED TO CIRCULATE. 
          THESE REMINDS OUR NEIGHBORS AND OTHER REGISTERED VOTERS. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF SCOUTS IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT, WHICH IS GREAT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE GOING TO TURN 18 BEFORE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, MAKE SURE YOU PRE-REGISTERED TO VOTE. 
          YOU CAN DO THAT THROUGH YOUR, UH, THROUGH YOUR HIGH SCHOOL, ON THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S WEBSITE, BUT, YOU KNOW, GET INVOLVED. 
          YOU'RE HERE TO EARN A BADGE AND LEARN ABOUT GOVERNMENT, MAKE SURE YOU'RE REGISTERED TO VOTE. 
          SO GETTING BACK TO THESE PETITIONS, 
          [00:55:01]
IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION, IT'S OUR NEIGHBORHOOD VOICES.COM AND THAT'S WHERE YOU NEED TO START. 
          AND YOU'RE WELCOME TO REACH OUT TO ANY OF US, BUT WE'RE GOING TO GUIDE YOU TO THAT. 
          AND YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO REQUEST THE PETITIONS ON YOUR OWN AND TOURNAMENT ON YOUR OWN TOO. 
          I CAN'T GIVE YOU BLANK PETITIONS. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          UM, TO GET EDUCATED ON THIS TOPIC. 
          OH, DO YOU WANT HIM TO COME TO YOU? SO IN OTHER WORDS, 80 YEARS, WHAT DOES, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THERE'S ACTUALLY THREE THINGS I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO EXPLAIN , UM, SB NINE, SB 10, AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR ARENA NUMBERS. 
          SO THE 3,729 IN THE FUTURE, ANYBODY COULD, ONCE WE OBTAIN OR WE APPROVED THE SIX CYCLE, YES. 
          NINE SB, 10, AND USE. 
          IF WE DO REACH THAT NUMBER, THEY CAN INCLUDE THOSE OTHER UNITS. 
          SO WE COULD MAYBE THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS, WE COULD HAVE MAYBE 5,000 UNITS AND NOT JUST 37, 29, BECAUSE SB NINE AS B TAB 10 OPENS UP THE DOOR. 
          AND IF YOU USE, AND IT ALLOWS EVERY SINGLE FAMILY LOT TO HAVE UP TO FOUR UNITS. 
          SO IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN JUST THE REAL FAST 80 USE SB NINE SB, 10 ASSESSORY DWELLING UNITS, IT'S ALREADY REQUIRED BY THE STATE. 
          AND WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT COMPLIES WITH THE STATE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO, AND IT ALLOWS EVERY SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE TO HAVE ONE DETACHED ASSESSORY DWELLING UNITS, AND ALSO ONE ATTACHED JUNIOR ASSESSORY DWELLING UNIT. 
          SO ESSENTIALLY THE LAW ALLOWS EVERY SINGLE FAMILY TO HAVE THREE UNITS. 
          SB NINE IS THE ONE THAT AFFECTS US THE MOST BECAUSE THAT ONE WE HAVE TO DO SB 10 IS, IS VOLUNTARY. 
          AND WE ARE NOT MOVING FORWARD TO ADOPT SB 10 VSP NINE IS REQUIRED. 
          AND THAT REQUIRES GETTING THE CITY TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE THAT ALLOWS EVERY SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL LAW, TO HAVE TWO UNITS TO TWO HOUSES AND OR TO SUBDIVIDE. 
          AND EACH OF THOSE LOTS CAN HAVE TWO UNITS. 
          AND IN SOME CASES THERE CAN BE AN ADU DEPENDING ON IF IT WAS EXISTING OR WHATEVER. 
          SO ESSENTIALLY YOU'RE TAKING ONE LOT AND ALLOWING UP TO FOUR HOMES. 
          AND WHAT MAKES US MORE TROUBLESOME FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS THAT ALL THESE LAWS COME WITH REQUIREMENT FOR NO PARKING. 
          AND THEY ALLOW THAT ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS TO CONVERT AN EXISTING GARAGE AND MAKE THAT A UNIT WITHOUT REQUIRING ADDITIONAL PARKING. 
          WE'RE A CITY THAT DEPENDS ON PARKING. 
          WE DO NOT HAVE TRANSIT PEOPLE HAVE CARS. 
          WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PUT THEM? IF THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT FOR PARKS WHERE THE CHILDREN GOING TO PLAY? WELL, HOW ABOUT THE SCHOOLS? HOW ABOUT QUALITY OF LIFE? SO FROM A PLANNING ASPECT, THESE LAWS COULD CREATE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BENEFIT A COMMUNITY AND MAY NOT BENEFIT QUALITY OF LIFE. 
          JUST A QUICK QUESTION, PERTAINING TO SB NINE AND SOME OF THE OTHER SENATE BILLS. 
          DO WE GET ANY MONEY FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO, FOR INFRASTRUCTURE ON ANY OF THESE PROJECTS THAT WILL IMPACT NONE OF, NONE OF THIS LEGISLATION COMES WITH ANY FINANCING, ANY, ANY WAY TO SUPPORT HER ASSISTANT CITY. 
          AND ACTUALLY YOU MENTIONED A GOOD POINT BECAUSE WATER IS SUCH A CONCERN. 
          THERE IS NO CONSIDERATION OF WATER, AND WE ALL KNOW WE'RE FACING A DROUGHT AND WATER IS EXTREME CONCERN FOR CALIFORNIA, BUT THESE LEGISLATIONS EFFECTIVELY TURN THEIR BACK ON OUR WATER SHORTAGE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          JOANNE. 
          ALSO I'M INVOLVED WITH AN ORGANIZATION CALLED SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS, AND IT'S A METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION. 
          WE, AS A COUNCIL, REGIONAL COUNCIL ARE BASICALLY SUPPORTING THIS. 
          THIS WAS A BIG TASK. 
          INITIALLY, A STAFF RECOMMENDED THAT WE STAY NEUTRAL, BUT BECAUSE OF SB NINE AND SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST, WE TOOK A STRONG POSITION TO SUPPORT THIS ISSUE OR THIS BALLOT MEASURE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES. 
          CYNTHIA, YOU MENTIONED IT, WE NEED A LITTLE OVER 950 960,000 SIGNATURES TO QUALIFY THIS FOR A BALLOT MEASURE. 
          ALSO THE COST THAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT WE'VE MOVED FORWARD IS GOING TO BE ABOUT $12 MILLION TO GET THIS INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC. 
          SO THAT'S A CONCERN THAT WE DO HAVE. 
          ONE OF THE OTHER ISSUES IS THAT WE CANNOT USE PUBLIC FUNDS. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO TO POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES TO BASICALLY GENERATE THOSE FUNDS TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO THE TWO ISSUES ARE GOING TO BE SIGNATURES AND THEN TRYING TO GET IT FUNDED. 
          BUT AGAIN, I'M ALSO THE PRESIDENT OF CAL CITIES. 
          UM, THE ONLY DIVISION THAT I'M TRYING TO RALLY UP THE TROOPS. 
          SO, SO FAR I HAVE FIVE COMMITTED CITIES THAT ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS RESOLUTION. 
          I HAVE SEVEN PENDING WE'RE ONE OF THE SEVEN THAT ARE PENDING. 
          I HAVE TWO THAT ARE TAKING NEUTRAL POSITIONS. 
          AND ONE IS UNDECIDED WHO WERE LOUD CITY CLARE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA. 
          THEY'RE JUST SORT OF WAITING. 
          I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD ON IT. 
          BUT RIGHT NOW 
          [01:00:01]
THEY'RE JUST TAKING A POSITION JUST TO STEP BACK AND WHO'S UNDECIDED. 
          I DECIDED I DIDN'T GET A COMMENT FROM UPLAND, SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY THEY'RE FOR IT OR AGAINST IT. 
          NOBODY CALLED ME BACK. 
          SO, BUT THIS IS JUST GOOD INFORMATION FOR US. 
          UM, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, RAY, JUST A COMMENT, YOU KNOW, A FOLLOW-UP WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THESE USE AND SB NINE AND EVERYTHING ELSE, THE THING THAT PEOPLE AREN'T CONSIDERING EITHER IS THE COST OF PUBLIC SERVICES. 
          IF WE END UP INCREASING A LOT AND END UP SPENDING LIKE FOUR UNITS ON THE SAME LOT, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION? I MEAN, THERE'S NO PROVISION ANYWHERE FOR THAT TO SAY NOTHING ABOUT THE WATER. 
          WATER IS A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE, BUT HOW ABOUT PUBLIC SERVICES? HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO FUND THE ADDITIONAL POLICE AND FIRE THAT ARE GOING TO BE NECESSARY TO TAKE CARE OF THAT MANY LOTS, AND YOU PUSH MORE AND MORE LOTS ONTO A SMALLER AREA? UH, THERE'S GOING TO BE GREAT FIRE HAZARD. 
          IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE FOUR UNITS GOES UP IN FLAMES IS GOING TO SPREAD. 
          I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES THAT ARE ALSO ATTENDED WITH THIS, THIS WHOLE IDEA, BUT IT'S JUST BAD NEWS. 
          I MEAN, WE'VE JUST GOT TO STOP THIS JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP BECAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER THING WE MAY NOT BE THINKING ABOUT IS THE NEED FOR PUBLIC SERVICE, I THINK IS IN RED. 
          I JUST GOT ONE MORE COMMENT. 
          IF YOU DON'T MIND. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, IN THE PAST YOU'VE SEEN THE CITY COUNCIL STEP UP A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK, WE BACKED AN INITIATIVE THAT WOULD HAVE REPEALED PROP 47 AND 57, WHICH WERE BOTH, UH, UH, MEASURES BACKED BY SACRAMENTO THAT DECRIMINALIZED A BUNCH OF CRIMES. 
          AND BASICALLY THAT'S WHY YOU SEE, YOU SEE CRIME RATES RISING IN CALIFORNIA IS BECAUSE SACRAMENTO IS DECIDED TO, HEY, YOU CAN'T COMMIT A CRIME IF IT'S NOT A CRIME. 
          SO LET'S MAKE THINGS, NOT A CRIME AND CHANGE THE LAWS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE FIVE OF US AND WHAT THE CITY HAS ALWAYS PUSHED FOR WHEN IT COMES TO LOCAL CONTROL, BUT TO WHAT RAY AND CYNTHIA SAID, WE NEED RESIDENTS TO ACTUALLY STEP UP AND TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBORS, GET INVOLVED, UM, GET THOSE SIGNATURES GO IN AND THEN EDUCATE PEOPLE ON HOW TO VOTE. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT, IF YOU KNOW, I'M NO WITH THE REGIONAL OR WITH THE, THE ELEMENT WE'RE GOING TO HEAR PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT GROWTH. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE ALL SHARE, YOU KNOW, GET, GET INVOLVED, GET, GET, MAKE YOUR VOICE KNOWN. 
          CAUSE OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, THE 80 ASSEMBLY MEMBERS AND THE 40 STATE SENATORS AND THE GOVERNOR AREN'T LISTENING. 
          SO SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO WRESTLE THAT POWER BACK. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          SO WITH THAT, THANK YOU, BRIAN. 
          YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS NOW? I TOOK MY BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE. 
          I BETTER NOW I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MOTION. 
          I'LL MOVE ON. 
          I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR THIS, FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IF YOU'D LIKE A SECOND. 
          SURE. 
          SECOND. 
          OKAY. 
          MOST, EXCUSE ME. 
          MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          [15.  Adopt resolution adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program under California Environmental Quality Act and approving General Plan Amendment 21GPA01 for 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element]

          THANK YOU, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS A OR OUR SECOND CONTINUANCE. 
          SO THIS IS THE THIRD TIME WE'VE TAKEN IT TO THE COUNCIL WITH THE HOPES OF GETTING COMMENTS BACK FROM ATD.

          AND NOW WE DO NEED TO ADOPT IT. 
          IT NEEDS TO BE FORMALLY SUBMITTED TO HCD BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. 
          SO WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU MOVE FORWARD AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AND ADOPT THE ELEMENT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO AT THIS TIME I'M GONNA OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN I'LL BRING IT BACK TO THE DIASPORA COMMENTS. 
          WE DO HAVE TWO COMMENTS OR ONE COMMENT ANGEL ESPARZA. 
          I'M ALLOWING TO TALK. 
          HI, GOOD EVENING. 
          UH, GOOD, GOOD. 
          HEY, GOOD, GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. 
          CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UM, MY PUBLIC COMMENT IS FOR, UM, ITEM NUMBER 15, 
          [01:05:02]
UH, HERE ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. 
          UH, MY NAME IS ANGEL ESPARZA AND I'M A MEMBER OF THE SOUTHWEST REGIONAL COUNCIL OF CARPENTERS. 
          SO I LIVE IN A LOCAL AREA WORK AND RECREATE WAS IN THE VICINITY OF THE PROJECT HERE. 
          UH, THE AGENDA ITEM, UH, I BELIEVE THAT I WILL BE IMPACTED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT. 
          THE CITY SHOULD REQUIRE THE PROJECT TO BE BUILT, UTILIZING A LOCAL AND SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE, LOCAL HIRE AND SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE REQUIREMENTS REDUCED CONSTRUCTION-RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT WHILE BENEFITING THE LOCAL ECONOMY IN A RECENT 2020 REPORT TITLED PUTTING CALIFORNIA ON THE HIGH ROAD, A JOBS AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN FOR 2030, THE CALIFORNIA WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD CONCLUDED THAT INVESTMENTS IN GROWING DIVERSIFYING UPSKILLING CALIFORNIA'S WORKFORCE CAN POSITIVELY AFFECT RETURNS ON CLIMATE MITIGATION EFFORTS. 
          MOREOVER, JUST THIS YEAR, SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT FOUND THAT THE USE OF LOCAL STATE CERTIFIED APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS OR A SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE CAUSE THAT LOCAL HIRE COMPONENT CAN RESULT IN, EXCUSE ME, CAN RESULT IN AIR POLLUTANT REDUCTIONS. 
          OTHER CITIES HAVE NOT HESITATED. 
          SO APPLYING A SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE REQUIREMENTS FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND THEY'RE SHITTY RECENTLY. 
          SO SHE, DAVE HAYWARD IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ADOPTED SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE REQUIREMENTS INTO ITS GENERAL PLAN AND MUNICIPAL CODE. 
          THE LOCAL SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE REQUIREMENTS CAN BOOST ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND MITIGATE TRANSPORTATION AND GREENHOUSE GASES BY EXCUSE ME, GREENHOUSE GAS IMPACTS BY MINIMIZING VEHICLES TRAVELED ON THE ROAD, YOU KNOW, BEING A RESIDENT OF LOS SERRANO'S AND UH, GROWING UP ON SIERRA VISTA, UH, THE STREETS ARE GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER IN THAT, IN THAT AREA. 
          I DON'T LIVE IN THE, IN THE HILLS OF, YOU KNOW, THE PEYTON HILLS OR WHATNOT, BUT I CAN'T SAY THAT THE, UH, TRAVELING UP AND DOWN PIPELINE AND OUT OF THE HILLS, YOU KNOW, UM, IT'S GETTING CLOGGED AND CLOGGED ON A DAILY, DAILY BASIS THERE. 
          SO HEY, PUTTING SOME OF THESE LOCAL KIDS TO WORK WITH, UH, DEFINITELY HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT, UH, IN OUR COMMUNITIES. 
          I COULD DEFINITELY PULL OUT A DOZEN OF A, OF LOCAL KIDS WHO WOULD BE MORE THAN EXCITED TO WORK ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS ONE COMING UP. 
          THAT'S ALL I GOT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          I DO HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER. 
          LOUIS IS ESPARZA, QUITE LEWIS. 
          GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY AGAIN. 
          UM, WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IS NOT GOING TO BE NICE, BUT I ASK YOU TO BEAR WITH ME. 
          I DO IT IN RESPECT. 
          UM, I LOVE TO HEAR ALL THE COMMENTS EARLIER, UH, FROM ART, PETER, CYNTHIA, EVERYBODY ABOUT HOW FIRED UP YOU WERE WHEN THE STATE IS MANDATING SLASH FORCING YOU TO DO SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T WANT TO, THAT YOU SHOULD RETAIN ALL THE, ALL THE RIGHTS TO DO YOURSELVES. 
          AND YOU TALKED ABOUT PARKING, UH, USES. 
          YOU TALKED ABOUT UTILITIES, YOU TALKED ABOUT SERVICES LIKE POLICE AND FIRE COST OF ALL THOSE SERVICES AND HOW THIS WOULD IMPACT OUR CITY NEGATIVELY. 
          AND YOU GUYS ARE ACTING VERY HYPOCRITICAL. 
          YOU KNOW WHERE I HEARD ALL OF THOSE SAME ARGUMENTS. 
          I'VE HEARD ALL OF THEM SPOKEN BY CITIZENS. 
          WHEN WE COME UP TO YOU AND PROTEST PUTTING AT APARTMENTS EVERYWHERE, BUT MORE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE NORTH SIDE OF THE CHINO HILLS, YOU CAN EYES. 
          I AM TAKEN ABACK BY THE HYPOCRISY THAT YOU GUYS HAVE SHOWN TODAY BECAUSE YOU TELL US THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW YOUR DIRECTIONS, YOUR MANDATES BY CHEATING, ON MEASURE YOU, WHICH STRIPPED US THE CITIZENS OF OUR BRIGHTS TO DECIDE WHAT GOES ON IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          OUR NEIGHBORHOODS VOICE IS NON-EXISTENT IN CHINO HILLS BECAUSE YOU GUYS DON'T LISTEN YET. 
          YOU, YOU GET ON YOUR HIGH HORSE TODAY AND TALK ABOUT HOW THIS, THE STATE MANDATES ARE SO HORRIBLE AND TERRIBLE, AND YOU'VE DONE IT TO THE CITIZENS OF CHINO HILLS FOR DECADES. 
          I CAN, I CAN GO ONTO GOOGLE RIGHT AWAY RIGHT NOW. 
          JUST GO DOWN THE LIST OF APARTMENTS, MISSION HILLS, AVALON CAPRIANA, SANTA BARBARA, UH, THE HEIGHT, THE RESERVE VILLAGE OF EAGLE CANYON, GREEN VALLEY. 
          AND NOW YOU 
          [01:10:01]
WANT TO PUT ANOTHER BUNCH OF APARTMENTS ON LAKE LOW SARANDOS, AND YOU GUYS ARE PERFECTLY FINE WITH THAT. 
          AND YOU SAID THAT IT'S FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND YOU GUYS KNOW AT THAT IS A LOT. 
          IT'S A LIE. 
          IT'S NOT FAIR AFFORDABLE HOUSING BECAUSE NOTHING THAT HAS BEEN BUILT IS STRICTLY, UH, AFFORDABLE FOR MOST PEOPLE WHO NEED THAT ASSISTANCE. 
          SO I'M JUST REALLY UPSET WITH YOU GUYS. 
          I I'M DISGUSTED. 
          I JUST HAVE, I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY. 
          THAT'S, IT'S INCREDIBLE. 
          THE HYPOCRISY I WITNESSED TODAY. 
          THANK YOU, MR. AS FAR AS THE, FOR YOUR COMMENTS, APPRECIATE IT. 
          WHEN YOU HAVE THE COMMENTS, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER HANDS RAISED, NOR DO I. 
          WE DO HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER, MR. AL MATTA. 
          THE NAVY I'VE LIVED HERE FOR 25 YEARS. 
          AND I REMEMBER I USED TO GO TO SOME BOARD MEETINGS OR THERE WERE FOUNDERS IS WHEN IT WAS JUST A LITTLE TINY OFFICE WAS VERY TINY. 
          THE GROWTH OF THIS CITY AND THE CONCERN FOR THE CITIZENS IS ALWAYS BEEN THERE. 
          I, FOR ONE HAVE LIVED 85 YEARS. 
          I'VE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK A LOT OF TIMES, AND I'VE HEARD A LOT OF BULL AND I HEARD A LOT OF GOOD THINGS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE THEIR ATTITUDE AND THEIR HAVE THEIR IN THEIR MIND, WHATEVER THEY SAY, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. 
          HOPE FOR THE HILLS WAS AN ORGANIZATION THAT EVERYBODY SAID, YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME. 
          IF YOU GIVE UP, THEN YOU DID WASTE YOUR TIME. 
          BUT I REMEMBER WHEN ART AND ROGERS WAS MARCHING WITH US RIGHT IN FRONT OF EDISON, IN SAN GABRIEL. 
          AND I REMEMBER SITTING IN THIS, OH, WHEN THE VOTE WAS HERE FOR HOPE FOR THE HILLS. 
          AND I KIND OF KNEW WHAT PEOPLE WERE GOING TO VOTE. 
          NO. 
          AND WHAT PEOPLE WERE GOING TO VOTE. 
          YES. 
          AND AFTER THAT, IT WAS THREE TO FIVE OF 7, 11, 19 20 13. 
          AND WE WON WHEN EVERYBODY SAID, THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BE A UTILITY COMPANY. 
          AND WE DID. 
          AND MY COMPANY WAS THE ONE THAT VOTED AND WE HAD A LOT OF RESIDENTS AND OUR PEOPLE IN WHEN THEY WERE VOTING IN SAN FRANCISCO. 
          SO YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE CITY FOR A LONG TIME, YOU'VE MISSED WHAT THE CITY HAS REALLY FOUGHT FOR. 
          THEY HAVE FOUGHT FOR US. 
          I CAME TO, I VOTED FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. 
          AND AT THE SAME TIME I RAN AGAINST YOU. 
          AND I KNOW I LOST, BUT THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER THE ELECTION, WE HAVE ONE THING. 
          EVEN IF WE LOSE OR DON'T WIN AN ELECTION THE FOLLOWING DAY, EVEN THAT EVENING, WE ARE STILL AN AMERICAN WITH A VOICE. 
          AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD VOICE HAS TO BE STRONG. 
          IF WE HAVE TO MARCH, IF WE HAVE TO PROTEST, IF WE HAVE TO GET THE MESSAGE AND BRING OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE WHAT CHYNA HILLS HAS ACCOMPLISHED UNDER THE GREAT ODDS THAT WERE AGAINST US. 
          AND WE WON, I WOULD LIKE TO DECLARE CHINO HILLS, A SANCTUARY CITY FOR COMMON SENSE, HOME DEVELOPMENT, COMMON SENSE, A SANCTUARY CITY, BECAUSE OUR VOICE IS MORE THAN JUST A VOICE. 
          IT'S SOMETHING TO BUILD ON. 
          AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR CHINO HILLS. 
          MR. MONICA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. 
          I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING REAL FAST BASED ON WHAT YOU JUST SAID. 
          FIRST OF ALL, WE, AS A CITY SPEND, WELL OVER $5 MILLION. 
          SO THIS COUNCIL SUPPORTED, UH, GETTING THE TOWERS DOWN. 
          OKAY. 
          I WAS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR HOPE, FOR THE, SO ON THAT FRONT, I WAS RIGHT IN THE TRENCHES WITH YOU. 
          I WENT TO EVERY MEETING. 
          I WAS IN SAN FRANCISCO FOR ALL THE MEETINGS THERE. 
          I HAD A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH MR. PEAVEY THAT I, UH, MADE THROUGH THE PROCESS. 
          SO THIS COUNCIL HAS DONE A WHOLE LOT. 
          AND AGAIN, WE STILL ARE TRYING TO PULL OUR RESOURCES TOGETHER TO DO THE SAME THING THAT WE DID FOR HOPE FOR THE HILLS, FOR THIS INITIATIVE. 
          AND REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD THE FIRST FEDERAL HEARING, I REMEMBER THAT I WAS HERE AT SIR WEST, MISSISSIPPI, AND EVERY, THIS WAS PAT. 
          IT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. 
          SO YOU GUYS OUT THERE, YOU KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          I APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU ALL. 
          SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? JOANNE'S ALREADY TALKED BACK TO US. 
          CAN WE CLOSE THAT FIRST 
          [01:15:01]
AND THEN CARRY IT BACK UP? NO OTHER COMMENTS NOW AT THE COMMENT, DOES ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK IN THE AUDIENCE HAS ASIAN MARIANNE DO, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY? SOMETHING RONNIE WOULD LIKE TO, UH, RONNIE GEIER VIETNAM WAR VETERAN FOUGHT FOR THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS, WHICH WE CAN LOSE, WHICH WE CAN LOSE. 
          I HAVE BEEN HERE IN MY RETIREMENT FOR MANY YEARS, WATCHING THIS BLESSING, UH, CITY COUNCIL DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN, NO OTHER CITY COUNCIL IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 
          DO I REPRESENTED MEMBERS OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE IN THIS CENTURY FOR EIGHT YEARS, THAT PUT ME IN CITY COUNCILS ALL OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 
          AND AS I'VE SAID, MANY TIMES, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A WAR BETWEEN THE MEMBERS AND A LOT OF STUFF DIDN'T GET DONE. 
          EVERYTHING'S DONE RIGHT HERE AND IT'S WORTH SAVING BECAUSE THE TOWERS ARE DOWN. 
          THAT'S THE HEART AND SOUL. 
          AND THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS HERE, THAT REALLY IS WE'RE SAVING, UM, PEOPLE THAT MAKE COMMENTS, UH, OUT OF AN EMOTIONAL FEELING INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH FACTS. 
          YEAH. 
          YOU KNOW, IT JUST, UM, IT'S NOT USEFUL, BUT I GUESS IT'S KIND OF PART OF THE WAR BECAUSE YOU'RE REALLY FIGHTING A WAR. 
          YOU'RE FINDING WHERE TO KEEP CHINO HILLS CHINO HILLS. 
          I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK. 
          AND, UH, I RE REAFFIRMED MY MANY YEARS OF SAYING, WELL DONE CITY COUNCIL OF CHINO HILLS. 
          THANKS RON. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NO OTHER SPEAKERS. 
          SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          SO I'M BRINGING IT BACK TO US, MR. BECK. 
          YOU KNOW, I, UH, I WISH THAT, UH, WELL, I'M GOING TO NAME HIM BECAUSE HE PUBLICLY TRY TO BEAT UP ON US. 
          UH, LOUIS, I WISH YOU WERE HERE IN THE ROOM TONIGHT SO THAT I COULD LOOK YOU IN THE EYE AND TELL YOU HOW WRONG YOU ARE ABOUT YOUR TALKING TO US AS WE ARE HYPOCRITES FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOU KNOW, AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW THIS FOR A FACT, AND YET YOU STILL TALK UNTRUTH OR MIS-CHARACTERIZED THINGS. 
          ALL OF THEM, THE DEVELOPMENT, THOSE LARGE APARTMENT BUILDINGS THAT WERE BUILT IN THE SOUTH END OF THIS CITY WERE APPROVED PRIOR TO CITY HOOD. 
          THEY WERE ALREADY IN THE SPECIFIC PLAN AND THEY WERE BEING HELD UNTIL THE ECONOMY GOT TO A POINT WHERE IT WAS MADE ECONOMIC SENSE FOR THOSE APARTMENTS TO BE BUILT. 
          YES, THAT'S HAPPENED. 
          WE HAVE A TRAFFIC ISSUE IN THIS CITY, BUT BELIEVE ME, THIS COUNCIL IS DEDICATED TO PROTECTING ALL OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT OUR RESIDENTS ENJOY. 
          WE HAVE CERTAIN THINGS LIKE TRAFFIC THAT WE JUST CAN'T GET AROUND. 
          IF YOU, IF THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAD THE RIGHT TO BUILD THESE THINGS AND THEY WANTED TO HOLD ON UNTIL UNFORTUNATELY THE LAST FIVE, SIX YEARS, 10 YEARS, ALL THESE APARTMENTS STARTED GOING UP. 
          THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO DO IT. 
          WE COULDN'T STOP THAT. 
          LOOK AT YOUR ZONING ORDINANCES AND THE LAWS AND WHAT IT TAKES TO BE ABLE TO DENY SOMETHING OTHERWISE THIS INVERSE CONDEMNATION. 
          AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS YOU DENY SOMEONE, THE RIGHT TO DEVELOP THEIR PROPERTY. 
          YOU CAN BE STUCK WITH A PENALTY OF, OKAY, YOU'RE GOING TO BUY THE PROPERTY FROM US AT FAIR MARKET VALUE. 
          AND THERE'S A LOT OF ILLEGAL THINGS THAT GO ON, BUT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THICK SKIN UP HERE. 
          I'LL TAKE IT WHEN WE'RE WRONG. 
          AND SOMEBODY HAS AN ISSUE WITH US. 
          THAT'S FINE. 
          I'LL TAKE IT. 
          BUT WHEN SOMEBODY IS MIS-CHARACTERIZING FACTS ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND TALKING TO US LIKE WE'RE HYPOCRITES FOR THE FACT THAT WE ARE PUSHING THESE ITEMS RIGHT NOW TO TRY AND STOP THE BLEEDING. 
          WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE CAN DO BY OURSELF. 
          WE HAVE TO PUT OUT THIS PUBLIC OUTCRY. 
          SO IF YOU FOLKS WANT TO HELP THIS SITUATION, WE ALL HAVE TO HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME. 
          WE ALL HAVE TO SUPPORT THIS CERTIFICATE OR THIS INITIATIVE. 
          WE ALL MAY HAVE TO FIND SOME WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE MONEY, TO PACKS THAT WE'LL GET THIS THING AND COVER THE COST TO GET IT ON THE BALLOT AND HOPEFULLY PASS THIS, THIS INITIATIVE. 
          SO IT'S HARD NOT TO GIVE AND NOT GET EMOTIONAL, BUT YOU KNOW, WE TAKE OUR, THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. 
          I MEAN, PETER AND I AND RAY RAISED RAY WAS ON THE ORIGINAL PLANNING COMMISSION. 
          I TOOK HIS PLACE ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT THE PARKS COMMISSION. 
          I'VE BEEN INVOLVED FOR 26 OR 28 YEARS. 
          PETER WAS ON THE PARTS 23. 
          YOU THINK THIS IS FUN TO COME UP HERE AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS STUFF. 
          WE LOVE THIS CITY, EVERYTHING WE DO, REGARDLESS OF 
          [01:20:01]
THE FACT, WE GOT STUCK WITH DISTRICTS. 
          EVERY ONE OF US HAVE THE BELIEF THAT WE DO WHAT IS IN OVERALL BEST INTEREST OF OUR CITY AND OF OUR RESIDENTS. 
          AND YOU HAD THAT COMMITMENT THAT IS NOT TALK THAT'S THE WAY IT REALLY IS. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE FEEL. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE TRIED TO PROMOTE. 
          SO SORRY FOR GETTING A LITTLE THIN SKINNED ABOUT BEING ATTACKED. 
          I'M USED TO GETTING ATTACKED. 
          THIS IS, THIS IS MILD COMPARED TO SOME OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS THAT USED TO GO AFTER MIDNIGHT. 
          UH, BUT SERIOUSLY, UM, WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. 
          WE ARE TRYING TO DO WHAT'S BEST INTEREST FOR THIS CITY AND I'LL LET IT GO WITH THAT FOR THE TIME BEING A COUPLE OF SMALL THINGS. 
          IT'S LIKE, I'M NOT AGAINST HOUSING. 
          I KNOW THAT IT'S NEEDED. 
          SO I'M NOT ANTI-DEVELOPMENT, BUT THERE HAS TO BE BETTER APPROACHES TO ENCOURAGE HOUSING AND CREATION THAT IS, UM, PRESERVING LOCAL CONTROL. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I'M NOT ANTI-DEVELOPMENT WE KNOW THAT WE NEED HOUSING, BUT IT'S THE WAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THAT, UM, THAT END GOAL THAT WE ALL WANT. 
          UM, AND REGARDING APARTMENTS, I, I NOTICED THAT LOUIS LISTED VILLAGE OAKS ON THAT LIST AND THANK GOODNESS FOR VILLA JOKES, BECAUSE WHEN I LIVED, WHEN I MOVED HERE 27 YEARS AGO, AS A SINGLE MOM, I WANTED TO RAISE MY SON IN A VERY SAFE AND FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT. 
          SO I COULD ONLY AFFORD TO RENT AN APARTMENT. 
          COULDN'T AFFORD DIAMOND BAR COVINA, CLOSER TO MY PARENTS. 
          AND YOU KNOW WHAT, UM, I LOVE THAT WE HAVE A DIVERSE SET OF HOUSING AND CHINO HILLS. 
          I THINK IT'S, IT'S MANAGED GOOD. 
          IT'S UM, WE FORGET, YOU KNOW, GREEN VALLEY HAS BEEN THERE SO LONG. 
          I HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE MOVED INTO GREEN VALLEY BEFORE THEY BOUGHT THEIR HOME IN CHINO HILLS. 
          SO, UM, I FORGOT WHEN I THINK IT WAS WHEN WE WERE GETTING A LOT OF HITS FOR THE SANTA BARBARA THAT I WOULD GO ON THIS LITTLE THING ABOUT HOW I LIVED IN VILLAGE OAKS, BECAUSE APARTMENTS DON'T BRING NECESSARILY MORE CRIME OR TRAFFIC. 
          IT'S LIKE, THERE'S CRIME EVERYWHERE. 
          IT'S LIKE, SORRY, CHIEF. 
          I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY, BUT, UM, IT'S JUST THAT I, I REALLY THINK SOMETIMES IT WAS IT'S APPALLING SOME OF THE COMMENTS YOU GET WHEN PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN, UH, IN APARTMENTS ARE TREATED LIKE SECOND-CLASS CITIZENS, WHICH I THINK IS AWFUL. 
          AND IN, IN, IN THIS CITY THAT WE'RE IN, SO NOT CHEAP EITHER. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ON VILLAGE OAKS. 
          I CHUCKLED, I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR REALLY JOKES LEWIS. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAVE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, FIRST IS WHEN IT CAN, UH, UH, COMMAND, UH, JOANNE AND RAY, I THINK THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS, THEY HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THIS CITY AND TRYING TO MAKE THIS THE BEST THING POSSIBLE, YOU KNOW? OH YEAH. 
          WELL, WE'LL TAKE SOME, TAKE SOME HEAT FOR THIS, BUT YOU KNOW, RAY'S BEEN AT SCAG TRYING TO FIND THE MOST EQUITABLE WAY TO GET US THE LEAST AMOUNT OF UNITS AND USE THE, UM, YOU KNOW, AND USE THE TOOLS AT OUR DISPOSAL. 
          BUT SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO PLAY THE HAND YOU'RE DEALT, AND THIS IS HOW, THIS IS WHAT WE WERE DEALT. 
          THE STATE IS KIND TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OTHER CITIES AND WHAT THEIR KIND OF FEELINGS ARE AND YOU KNOW, OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE EAST, THEY LOVE HOUSING. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, LOOK, YOU KNOW, LIKE I'VE SAID BEFORE, GET READY FOR ONTARIO, ONTARIO RANCH TO COME IN, YOU KNOW, IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS THERE, CHINO, THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW NORCO EAST VALE, RUPA, ALL THOSE PLACES. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SEE TRAFFIC ON OUR STREETS, IT'S NOT ALWAYS CHINO HILLS RESIDENTS. 
          LET'S BE, YOU KNOW, LET'S BE MORE THAN HONEST ABOUT THAT. 
          IT'S PEOPLE COMING THROUGH AND YOU KNOW, WE BELIEVE ME. 
          I, NONE OF US WANT TO BE HERE DOING THIS, BUT WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY. 
          YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND FOLLOW THE LAW. 
          AND WE JUST CAN'T BURY OUR HEAD IN THE SAND. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          UH, WELL YOU, YOU AND JOANNE FOR WORKING ON THIS BLOOD PRESSURE, I ONLY TOOK HALF A DOSE. 
          I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A FULL DOSE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, WHERE DO YOU START TO CORRECT MISINFORMATION? HOW ABOUT LIVING HERE LONGER THAN MR. ESPARZA HAS WHEN I MOVED INTO THE CARBON CANYON AREA, DO WE KNOW WHERE GORDON RANCH IS? WHERE PRICELESS PETS IS AND THAT WHOLE AREA THAT DIDN'T EXIST. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          SO THAT WAS BEING BUILT WHILE I LIVED HERE, WHERE WE SAYING, WE WISH THEY WEREN'T BEING BUILT. 
          YEAH, WE WERE BECAUSE IT WAS NOW CREATING THE PRISTINE HILLS THAT WERE THERE ARE NOW GONE. 
          WHY DO YOU THINK BUTTERFIELD RANCH ROAD IS AS WIDE AS IT IS? WAS IT BY MISTAKE? NO, BECAUSE IN THE COUNTY DAYS, AND IN EARLY CITY DAYS, THEY KNEW THAT THERE WAS LAND THAT WAS GOING TO BE BUILT ON AND PEOPLE OWN THOSE LANDS, THE APARTMENTS AND HOMES. 
          SO IT'S NOT JUST APARTMENTS. 
          THAT'S HOMES ALSO THAT WENT INTO 
          [01:25:01]
MARC HOMES, ET CETERA, DOWN IN THE SOUTH, OVER THE LAST PERIOD OF TIME, WENT IN PARTIALLY FOLLOWING THE HOUSING ELEMENT OF NUMBER FIVE, THE FIFTH HOUSE ELEMENT WHERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SIX HOUSING ELEMENT IN SACRAMENTO. 
          BUT WE'VE BEEN FORCED. 
          YES. 
          LEWIS FORCED TO FOLLOW SOME OF THESE MANDATES FOR YEARS. 
          NOT JUST NOW WE'RE GETTING MAD NOW BECAUSE EVERY CITY IN CALIFORNIA, THERE IS 482 CITIES. 
          ALL THOSE CITIES ARE BEING IN COUNTIES BEING FORCED TO FOLLOW THESE SACRAMENTO MANDATES, BUT THEY'VE TAKEN THE NUMBERS AND EXPLODED THEM COMPARED TO THE OLD DAYS. 
          THE HOUSING GROWTH IN CHINO HILLS IS IT'S NOT SURPRISING BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN I MOVED IN HERE READING THE CHAMPION 34 YEARS AGO, WHEN I MOVED IN AND I REMEMBER THEM PREDICTING THAT THERE WERE GOING TO BE APPROXIMATELY 90,000 PEOPLE LIVING IN CHINO HILLS BY X, WHENEVER X WAS. 
          AND WE'RE AT 80,000 RIGHT NOW, W OBVIOUSLY MORE TO COME BECAUSE WE'RE BEING TOLD TO QUIT MORE HOUSING STOCK IN, BUT THIS WAS, THIS IS NOT A SURPRISE. 
          AGAIN, CENTRAL CHINO HILLS WAS BUILT OUT WHERE WE'D BEEN PICKED ON. 
          WELL, MAYBE, BUT NO, IT'S JUST DEVELOPERS WANTING TO BUILD THEIR FIRST. 
          AND THEN THEY WORK THEIR WAY DOWN TO THE BUTTERFIELD AREA. 
          SO THEY'RE NOT BEING PICKED ON. 
          IT'S JUST, THEY'VE RUN OUT OF LAND. 
          WE'RE A PRODUCT OF OUR OWN SUCCESS. 
          CHINO HILLS IS ADMIRED BY SO MANY PEOPLE AND ENTITIES AROUND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BECAUSE OF OUR SAFETY, BECAUSE OF OUR EDUCATION BECAUSE OF 45 PARKS IN TOWN, HOW MANY CITIES HAVE FORTY-FIVE PARKS, THE SIZE OF US, INCLUDING THAT STATE PARK. 
          SO WE'RE A PRODUCT OF OUR OWN SUCCESS. 
          PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE HERE AND THAT'S, AND MAYBE WE'RE CREATING A PROBLEM IN SACRAMENTO BECAUSE THEY KEEP SAYING THINGS AREN'T AFFORDABLE WHILE CHINO HILLS IS PROBABLY A REFLECTION OF THAT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT OVERLY AFFORDABLE. 
          WE HEAR THAT ALL THE TIME, BUT I'M PROUD TO, TO, I'M NOT PROUD TO VOTE ON THIS TICKLER ITEM, BUT WE HAVE TO VOTE OUT FOR NOW. 
          HOPEFULLY IT CAN BE OVERTURNED LATER, BUT AGAIN, IT'S NOT JUST CHINO HILLS. 
          THAT'S ALL 482 CITIES HAVE BEEN FACING THIS. 
          AND I WOULD SAY 90% OF THEM ARE NOT HAPPY JUST AS WE'RE NOT HAPPY, MAYBE 10%, WE'RE LOOKING FOR GROWTH. 
          SO THIS IS NOT A BAD DEAL FOR THEM, BUT EITHER WAY, IT'S, I GUESS YOU HAVE TO BEEN AROUND A WHILE TO UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF THE CITY. 
          NOT JUST NOT BUILT IN MY BACKYARD RIGHT NOW, IT'S, THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS IN TOWN. 
          SO IT'S WHATEVER, IT'S JUST, IT'S, IT GETS FRUSTRATING, BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY WE'RE ELECTED AND YOU KNOW, WHAT, IF SOMEONE'S NOT HAPPY, YOU CAN RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL ALSO AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, YOU KNOW, JUST PUT UP A GOOD, A GOOD ARGUMENT AND MAYBE IT WILL BE ELECTED ON, AND THEN YOU CAN MAKE THESE TYPES OF DECISIONS INSTEAD OF POINTING FINGERS. 
          BUT FOR NOW WE, WE, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE A VOTING ON THIS. 
          AND THE STATE WANTS THIS FROM US AS THEY WANT IT FROM CHINO AND THEY WANT IT FROM CLAREMONT AND THEY WANT IT FROM MONTCLAIR. 
          EVERY CITY HAS TO DO WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO DO. 
          SO I GUESS WE JUST MOVE FORWARD AND SEE WHAT WE CAN, IF WE CAN CHANGE THINGS LATER. 
          MY BLOOD PRESSURE UP TO, SO HERE, HERE GOES, FIRST OF ALL, I'M I HEARD A COMMENT, BASICALLY. 
          YES, I MOVED HERE IN THE CITY IN 83, I WAS ON THE FIRST PLANNING COMMISSION. 
          WE HAD, OUR OBJECTIVE WAS COME UP WITH THE GENERAL PLAN. 
          I THINK OUR POPULATION, WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS BROUGHT RIGHT A LITTLE OVER 30,000 PEOPLE. 
          AND IT CRACKED ME UP AT BACK IN THOSE DAYS, EVERY TIME THAT WE WOULD HAVE A PROJECT, WE'D HAVE PEOPLE THAT WEREN'T FOR THAT. 
          BUT ONCE THEY MOVED INTO CHINO HILLS AND NEW HOUSING, THEY WERE AT THE NEXT MEETING, FIGHTING DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO IT'S SORT OF LIKE AN ONGOING CYCLE, YOU KNOW, NOBODY WANTS TO, TO WANTS PROPERTIES, BUT WHEN THEY MOVE IN THE PROP, WHEN THEY BUY A PROPERTY THAT WE BUILD AND THEY DON'T WANT ANY MORE HOUSING. 
          SO THAT'S JUST A CIRCUMSTANCE THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH BACK IN THE MIDDLE NINETIES, I BELIEVE MEASURE YOU. 
          AND I'M GOING TO GO TO MY CITY ATTORNEY. 
          WHAT, WHY ISN'T THIS MEASURE THAT WAS VOTED BY THE PEOPLE NOT BEING HONORED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, MARK? UM, ACTUALLY AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS BEING CIRCULATED, UM, AND I'M FORGETTING THE, THERE WAS A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE CIRCULATING. 
          I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAMES AT THE MOMENT, BUT THEY, THEY BROUGHT IT FORWARD AND THERE WAS NO EXCEPTION FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE MEASURE. 
          AND THERE HAD BEEN EXTENSIVE LITIGATION AROUND THE STATE ON THESE KIND OF, UM, HOUSING STRICTURES ONES THAT DIDN'T HAVE AN EXCEPTION FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED. 
          AND I BELIEVE OCEAN SIDE WAS ONE OF THE CITIES. 
          THERE WERE A COUPLE OF CITIES THAT HAD BEEN IN LITIGATION. 
          UM, THEY HAD SPENT, AND NO 
          [01:30:01]
I'M TRYING REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, THIS WAS A LONG, I MEAN, IT WAS, UH, IT WAS AROUND A MILLION DOLLARS OR $2 MILLION THAT ONE OF THE CITY SPENT TRYING TO DEFEND. 
          UM, ONE OF THESE HOUSING GROWTH RESTRICTIONS AND THEY LOST AND, YOU KNOW, AND THAT WAS A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. 
          SO THAT $2 MILLION IS PROBABLY FOUR OR FIVE, $6 MILLION TODAY. 
          AND SO EMBEDDED IN, UM, MEASURE U WAS THIS EXCEPTION FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING BECAUSE OTHERWISE, UH, THE CITY WOULD HAVE BEEN SUED. 
          AND THIS WAS AT A TIME WHEN THERE WAS A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING IN THE CITY. 
          AND, UM, THE STATE WAS REALLY STARTING TO, UM, WITH THESE HOUSING ELEMENT ISSUES. 
          THEY WERE REALLY STARTING TO RAMP THAT UP. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A RELEASE VALVE TO KEEP THE CITY FROM BEING SICK. 
          THAT'S WHY THERE'S THE EXCEPTION AND WHAT WE'RE FACED WITH, OR WHAT YOU'RE FACED WITH RIGHT NOW IS A MANDATE OUT OF SACRAMENTO ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          IS THAT, WAS THAT CLEAR? PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          SO, IN OTHER WORDS, MEASURE YOU JUST FOR THE AUDIENCE. 
          WE LOWER DENSITY AT THAT TIME BY ABOUT 15,000 UNITS. 
          SO THAT PROBABLY WOULD EQUATE IT TO MAYBE TIMES THREE, ABOUT 45,000 MORE PEOPLE LIVE IN CHINO HILLS. 
          SO WE WERE GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH TOTTER CANYON, WHICH WAS REALLY EXPENSIVE TO BUILD, BUT WE LOWERED THE OVERALL DENSITY. 
          SO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT HAPPY WITH US TODAY, WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS FIGHT SINCE WE BECAME A CITY AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT IT. 
          WELL, I DO HAVE SOME OTHER COMMENTS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT. 
          FIRST OF ALL, I WAS MAYOR AND WE ALL ROTATE FOR THE LAST TIME I WAS MAYOR. 
          I SPECIFICALLY HAD A MEETING IN BUTTERFIELD AND BASICALLY I WANTED TO ADDRESS OUR LAST CYCLE, WHICH WAS ABOUT THE FIFTH CYCLE WAS, WAS ABOUT 800 UNITS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT. 
          AND I INVITED ALL THE PEOPLE IN BUTTERFIELD TO COME AND TALK TO CITY COUNCIL AND GIVE US THEIR FEELING ON APARTMENTS THAT WERE BEING BUILT DOWN IN BUTTERFIELD. 
          DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY SHOWED UP FOR THAT MEETING? I'M GOING TO SAY THREE. 
          THAT WAS IT IN MR. SPARSER. 
          YOU WERE NOT EVEN THERE. 
          SO YOU KNEW ABOUT IT. 
          YOU CHOSE NOT TO COME AND IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO EXPRESS YOURSELF AND YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP. 
          SO AGAIN, I HAVE ALL THE RESPECT IN THE WORLD FOR YOU, BUT AGAIN, WE DO LISTEN TO YOU. 
          WE DO HAVE MEETINGS AND THAT WE, LIKE BART SAID, HE WISHES THAT YOU WERE HERE TODAY. 
          YOU KNOW, COME BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          DON'T, DON'T SIT BACK AND THEN THROW SOMETHING OUT. 
          AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THAT'S SO EASY TO THROW THINGS OUT AND NOT REALLY BE HERE IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL TO, TO REALLY ENGAGE US ON THESE ISSUES. 
          SO THAT'S ENOUGH MR. ESPARZA, BUT YOU KNOW, OVERALL, MR. ESPARZA, I DO APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. 
          SO I DO SO LET ME MOVE ON. 
          FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO GO TO JOANNE, JOANNE, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ARENA CYCLE NOW PROBABLY FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. 
          I'M GOING TO SAY YOU PROBABLY ATTENDED WELL OVER 90% OF ALL THE MEETINGS. 
          AND SO DID I, UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY LETTERS THAT YOU WROTE TO HCD AND THAT'S THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ON TRYING TO LOWER OUR NUMBERS, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU WROTE MANY, MANY, MANY LETTERS TO DEFEND OUR CITY. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE WERE ISSUED AT ONE TIME MORE UNITS. 
          THEN WE WERE FINALLY ALLOCATED AT 37, 29. 
          THERE WAS ABOUT 60,000 UNITS IN ORANGE COUNTY. 
          THEY WERE TRYING TO GET RID OF, AND GUESS WHAT WE GOT THEM. 
          AND I'M GOING TO SAY THE LEADERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH JOANNE MYSELF AND THE REGIONAL COUNCIL, WE HAD THAT CORRECTED YES, 37, 29. 
          ISN'T WHAT IT WASN'T IDEAL. 
          AND LIKE I SAID, LAST CYCLE WAS OVER 800 UNITS. 
          SO WE GOT REALLY BEAT UP THIS TIME, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO PUSH BACK THAT NUMBER NOW FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. 
          AND I JUST WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK, YOUR COMMITMENT, TRYING TO KEEP US EDUCATED IN THE COMMUNITY, AS FAR AS THE DIRECTION OF ARENA. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          ALSO, MY COUNCIL, WE GOT ENGAGED. 
          WE TALK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE DIFFERENT AVENUES THAT WE'RE INVOLVED IN, IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, NOT ONE OF MY COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          I KNOW FOR SURE. 
          THEY'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND AGENCIES THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO SAY, THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          NOW WHAT DO WE DO, MR. SPARS, THAT WE WAITED TO THE LAST MINUTE TO ADOPT THIS PLAN. 
          THIS PLAN HAD TO BE ADOPTED BY THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS BY FEBRUARY 11TH. 
          SO HERE IT IS ALMOST THAT TIME. 
          WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS HOPEFULLY GETS ADOPTED TODAY THAN IT HAS TO BE CERTIFIED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. 
          WE KNOW THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. 
          SO JOANNE, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? AND THAT'S, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. 
          SO THEY, THE STATE HAS 90 TO REVIEW OUR HOUSING ELEMENT AND TO TELL US IF WE'RE 
          [01:35:01]
COMPLIANT, WE HAVE TRIED EXTENSIVELY TO GET ATDS CONCURRENCE THAT WE ARE COMPLIANT, BUT THERE'S NO GUARANTEE. 
          AND FROM WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM OTHER CITIES, THEY MAY FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR HOUSING ELEMENT AND FIND US NON-COMPLIANT. 
          THERE IS A NEW LAW THAT'S PASSED AND ESSENTIALLY IT'S, IT'S UNCLEAR, BUT IT SAYS THAT, UH, WE DON'T HAVE A COMPLIANT HOUSING ELEMENT WITHIN A YEAR. 
          WE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO. 
          AND IT SOUNDS LIKE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL HOUSING ELEMENTS. 
          WE MAY HAVE TO DO IT, GO BACK TO A FOUR YEAR CYCLE OR SOMETHING OF THE SWORD I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THE LEGISLATION. 
          I THINK IT'S AB 1 6, 3 8. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, AND IT'S A LITTLE UNCLEAR AND WE HAVE BEEN IN, IN, UM, WORKSHOPS WITH SCAG STAFF AND SBC TA STAFF, AND EVERYONE IS TRYING TO GUESS HOW HCD IS GOING TO INTERPRET THIS AND WHAT, UH, MANDATES ARE GOING TO HAVE. 
          WE CERTAINLY WON'T BE ALONE BECAUSE MANY OF OUR CITIES, NOT ONLY IN THIS REGION, BUT THROUGHOUT THE STATE WILL BE IN THE SAME BOAT THAT WE ARE. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FACING. 
          YEAH. 
          THERE'S ONLY TWO CITIES THAT ARE COMPLIANT SO FAR THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY ATD. 
          THE CITY'S BALTIMORE'S ONE OF THE CITIES AND THE OTHER IS A PORTION OF THE COUNTY OF VENTURA. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO PLANS HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY UTD. 
          SO JUST MY LAST COMMENT IS THAT WE LIVE IN SUCH A, AND YOU MENTIONED THIS WITH PARKS, OKAY. 
          WE LIVE AT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CITY. 
          WE HAVE 43 SQUARE MILES. 
          POMONA IS 26 SQUARE MILES. 
          THEIR POPULATIONS, I BELIEVE IS A COUPLE OF HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE. 
          IF NOT MORE, WE'VE DONE OUR JOB, OUR BEST JOB TO KEEP THE POPULATION DOWN. 
          AND AGAIN, I HATE TO SAY THAT TO ACD, BUT WE'RE LISTENING TO OUR COMMUNITY AND WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THE ATMOSPHERE THAT WE HAVE TODAY FOR OUR KIDS TOMORROW. 
          SO AGAIN, DO WE GET BEAT UP? YEAH, WE DO. 
          BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S PART OF THE JOB. 
          WE GOT THE SCAN AND WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT WE HAVE A TASK AT HAND, WE GOT TO GET THIS APPROVED TO MOVE IT FORWARD. 
          AND SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL GET DONE TODAY. 
          AND THEN HOPEFULLY THE MEASURE OF THE BALLOT MEASURE IN NOVEMBER, WE WILL WIN THAT. 
          AND THEN THE, THIS NUMBER WILL GO OUT THE DOOR. 
          SO IT DOES AFFECT THE ARENA. 
          SO THE VALID MEASURE. 
          SO THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS, ANYBODY, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? SO AT THIS TIME, ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THIS FORWARD. 
          I THINK WE CAN PUT PREFACE IT BY SAYING RELUCTANTLY, BUT NONETHELESS, I WILL, UH, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS HOUSING ELEMENT BEING MOVED ON, UH, PER THE DETAILED ITEM DELINEATED IN THE AGENDA. 
          YEAH, I'M ON A SECOND THIS, BUT I REALLY, IT REALLY PAINS ME TO DO THAT, BUT BY LAW WE HAVE TO DO IT. 
          SO, UM, I WILL, SECOND MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO. 
          THANK YOU GUYS.

          WE TALKED ABOUT MEASURE I REVENUE ESTIMATES FOR A YEAR 20 22, 20 23, AND IT WAS UP ABOUT 27%.

          WE TALKED ABOUT THE FISCAL YEAR, 20 22, 23 BUDGET ASSESSMENT. 
          WE ALSO GOT AN UPDATE ON THE TUNNEL TO THE ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

          WE HAD A MAJOR CONVERSATION ON IT'S CALLED REAP OR EAP 2.0 APPLICATION FOR ADVANCED FUNDING FOR REGIONAL EARLY ACT PLANNING GRANT PROGRAM. 
          AND THE SHARE FOR OUR REGION IS ABOUT $246 MILLION. 
          SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. 
          AND IT'S FOR PROJECTS FOR INCREASING HOUSING, WHICH I GUESS WE DON'T REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT AND TRANSPORTATION REDUCING RELIANCE ON CARS. 
          AND THEN, UH, I DID MISS THE METRO METRO LINK MEETING. 
          UM, I GOT BUSY ON ANOTHER MEETING, SO I COULDN'T ATTEND THAT.

          AND THE TWO NEWLY FORMED DISTRICTS IN CHINO DO NOT HAVE ANY INCUMBENTS CURRENTLY LIVING THERE. 
          SO, UM, THAT NORTHERN PORTION OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES ARE PRETTY MUCH UP FOR GRABS THERE'S. 
          THERE'S NO ONE IN THOSE TWO DISTRICTS THAT'S CURRENT, UM, AND THEN SCHAFER AND, UM, BRIDGE 
          [01:50:01]
ARE IN THE SAME DISTRICT STILL, ALTHOUGH THEY'RE, UM, ONE'S 2022 ONE'S 2024.

          AS WE, AS WE HAVE DONE FOR 10 YEARS, UH, AL MENTIONED, WE WON'T GO DEEP INTO THIS, BUT ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT THAT'S HAVING, HAVING TO DO WITH THE HOUSING ELEMENT AND SOME PUSHBACK THAT I'VE READ ABOUT IN SOME OF THESE WATER MAGAZINES, MOSTLY FROM CENTRAL CALIFORNIA, IS, UH, THEY'RE. 
          THEY MAY PUSH BACK HARDER THAN LET'S SAY OUR REGION BECAUSE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA IS HEAVILY IMPACTED BY THE DROUGHT. 
          AND SOME, SOME OF THESE SMALL CITIES GETS TO THE POINT WHERE THEY, IN 2015, THEY HAD TO HAVE WATER TRUCKED INTO THEIR CITY TO SUPPLY WATER FOR, FOR YOUR BASINS AND YOUR SHOWERS, ET CETERA. 
          WE, I DON'T THINK WE'LL EVER HAVE THAT PROBLEM HERE IN, IN THIS REGION, BUT THAT'S A GREAT ARGUMENT THAT SOME OF THEM ARE START WORKING UP TO WORK UP IN SOME OF THESE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA CITIES THAT REALLY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF WATER. 
          THEY HAVE ONE SOURCE OF WATER AND THAT'S THE STATE WATER THAT COMES THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE, THE SPINE OF CALIFORNIA. 
          AND THEY TAKE WATER FROM THAT. 
          IT'S A GREAT ARGUMENT. 
          IF THEY'RE BEING TOLD TO PUT IN ANOTHER, LET'S JUST USE THE NUMBER 800 IN A SMALL CITY OR 500 OR 300, AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE WATER TO SUPPLY. 
          SO THAT, THAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ON AND OFF. 
          IT'S A SMALL CHAIN OF WATER MAGAZINES. 
          I HAVEN'T HEARD OF EXPLODE INTO A BIG ARGUMENT YET WITHIN THE STATE, BUT I THINK IT COULD COME TO THAT ALSO REAL SOON. 
          AS FAR AS IT MAY, IT MAY CURTAIL SOME OF THE HOUSING THAT'S BEING BUILT OR, OR RECOMMEND IT TO BE BUILT. 
          WE'LL SEE, WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES. 
          SO ALL THE NOTES I HAVE FOR YOU, SIR, BEFORE YOU GUYS LEAVE, CAN YOU STAND UP THE SCOUTS UP IN THE BACK TO STAND UP PLEASE AND SCOUTS THAT AREN'T LEAVING. 
          THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT TO EXPLAIN, COME UP HERE, MAYBE TALK AND TELL US WHY YOU'RE HERE. 
          IF YOU DON'T MIND, YOU GET AN EXTRA BADGE FOR IT, AS YOU SAY, I THINK TODAY'S EVEN NATIONAL BOY SCOUT DAY. 
          ISN'T IT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU, BRIAN. 
          UM, HI, MY NAME'S LAUREN GATELEY. 
          I'M THE SPL FOR THE FEMALE TROOP OF TRUTH, 2 3 9 9 G O, WHICH MEETS AT ST. 
          PAUL, THE APOSTLE CATHOLIC CHURCH RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. 
          UM, TONIGHT WE'RE JUST SITTING IN ON THE CITY HALL MEETINGS. 
          SO THAT WAY WE CAN, UM, HAVE SCOUTS EARN MERIT BADGES, LIKE THE COMMUNITY, THE COMMUNICATIONS, MERIT BADGE, AND ALSO THE CITIZENSHIP AND THE COMMUNITY MERIT BADGE. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          IF YOU EVER GET ANY INFORMATION FROM THE CITY MANAGER, HIS NAME'S BEN MONTGOMERY, PLEASE CALL HIM. 
          BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. 
          CYNTHIA, GO AHEAD. 
          GOOD JOB GUYS. 
          OKAY. 
          I HAD HEARD, I HAD GOT SOME SAD NEWS THE OTHER DAY. 
          APPARENTLY THERE'S A MIC, A BIKE, A MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDER IN THE STATE PARK THAT LOST HIS LIFE. 
          CAN YOU SHARE, WAS IT A RESIDENT OF CHINO HILLS OR DO WE KNOW THAT? YEAH, THAT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE EVENT ON A SUNDAY, BUT THE, UH, THE BICYCLE RIDERS FROM WHITTIER. 
          OKAY. 
          REALLY? SORRY TO HEAR THAT. 
          THANK YOU FOR NOTIFYING US. 
          APPRECIATE THAT. 
          I WAS DRIVING BY AN ENGLISH SPRING PARK AND I, EVERY TIME I DRIVE BY THERE, THERE'S ALWAYS A WHOLE BUNCH OF TRAFFIC. 
          UH, YOU HAVE LIMOUSINES AT PARK IN THERE, AND THEY'RE JUST NOT A WHOLE LOT OF PARKING SPACES. 
          SO THE OTHER DAY I WAS TALKING TO JONATHAN ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE PARK SOUTH SIDE. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF ACREAGE THAT'S BACK THERE THAT COULD MAYBE UTILIZE PARKING. 
          AND I, AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW, JUST AN IDEA OFF THE CUFF AND MAYBE WE JUST SWITCHED THE, THE VOLLEYBALL COURTS AND MAYBE ONE BASKETBALL COURT AND MOVE IT WHERE THE PARKING LOT IS. 
          AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST AN IDEA. 
          HOPEFULLY WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AND MAYBE PROVIDE MORE PARKING. 
          AND SO THIS WAY, ALL THE PARKING IS ACTUALLY OFF GRAND AVENUE TOO. 
          AND THERE'S ADDITIONAL PARKING IF WE DID ESTABLISH IT IN THE PARKING LOT. 
          SO THAT WAS A COMMENT THAT I HAD. 
          AND THEN I WANT TO SAY, THANK YOU TO OUR STAFF, THIS ARENA. 
          I KNOW JOANNE, YOU'RE GOING TO BE HAPPY. 
          I KNOW THE WORK'S NOT DONE YET, BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE HAPPY SINCE WE FINALLY HAVE A PLAN THAT WE COULD SUBMIT TO 
          [02:00:01]
ACD, BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. 
          I TRULY APPRECIATE IT. 
          AND THEN I GUESS I WAS AT CITY HALL THE OTHER DAY, AND I SAW A NEW NEW EMPLOYEE WALKING AROUND AND I SORT OF KNOW HIM. 
          I THINK HIS NAME WAS JOE. 
          SO I UNDERSTAND HE'S BACK, RIGHT? JOE DYER, HE'S ON FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS OR SO THAT WE'LL BE WORKING WITH US AS A CONSULTANT. 
          IT WAS NICE TO SEE HIM IN THAT MR. CITY MANAGER, CAL TRANS TRUCK SURVEY STUDY. 
          I KNOW THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THERE WITH THE TRUCKS. 
          HAVE WE MADE CONTACT WITH CALTRANS OR ARE WE GOING TO BE MAKING CONTACT WITH CALTRANS? UH, I'LL START IN AND I'LL HAVE OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, UH, ADD, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS A TASK, UH, STAFF TO WORK TO IDENTIFY, UH, THE CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE IN, IN THE CARBON CANYON AREA. 
          A RECENT DEVELOPMENT IS A STUDY THAT THE CITY IS PAYING TO HAVE AN OUTSIDE, UH, SPECIALISTS LOOK AT THE, OUR CONCERNS THERE SO THAT WE CAN PRESENT IT TO CALTRANS, UH, TO MAKE OUR CASE FOR RESTRICTIONS ON, UH, LARGE, UH, SEMI TRUCK VEHICLES. 
          UH, I BELIEVE THAT STUDY, IF NOT IS COMPLETE, UH, IT MAY BE CURRENTLY BEING REVIEWED BY STAFF AND I'LL LET, UH, OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, UH, DANIEL , UH, TELL YOU EXACTLY WHERE IT IS AND WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP. 
          THANKS BEN. 
          AS BEN MENTIONED, WE DO HAVE A CONSULTANT THAT'S WORKING ON THAT STUDY. 
          UH, THE STUDY, UM, HAS BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CITY OF BRIA AND WITH CALTRANS, MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS, UM, IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALTRANS REQUIREMENTS, WE EXPECT TO HAVE THAT REPORT COMPLETED, UH, THIS WEEK, UH, ONCE WE RECEIVE IT, UH, STAFF WILL REVIEW IT AND, UH, WE'LL BE PRESENTING IT TO THE COUNCIL SHORTLY THEREAFTER. 
          MY UNDERSTANDING, I GUESS, IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT ON THE S TERMS ABOUT A WEEK AGO, AND I GUESS WE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. 
          SO THERE WAS A TC BETWEEN A TRUCK AND A CAR, BUT APPARENTLY I GUESS THEY DIDN'T CALL ANY RESOURCES. 
          SO THERE WAS NO DOCUMENTATION OF IT. 
          SO, BUT YOU DID GET INFORMATION FROM THE GENTLEMAN THAT SOUGHT CITY MANAGER. 
          YES, THAT'S CORRECT. 
          WE RECEIVED A REPORT FROM THE PUBLIC, UH, THROUGH THE MAYOR, UH, THAT A TRAFFIC COLLISION OCCURRED IN THE S TURNS. 
          BUT AFTER SPEAKING WITH, UH, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WE DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL FOR SERVICE RELATED TO THAT ACCIDENT, BUT IT'S JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW IS THAT IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCE THERE WHERE THE LONG, UH, VEHICLES AREN'T ABLE TO NAVIGATE THAT WITHOUT A RISK TO, UH, OTHER MOTORISTS. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO CLOSE THE MEETING OFF LIKE A JOURNEY AND TRIBUTE IN HONOR, OF THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED OR HAVE SERVED IN ARMED FORCES. 
          THANK YOU, MR. BENNETT AT HOME AND ABROAD THERE, SACRIFICES, STRENGTH, PROTECT THE GOALS AND IDEAS THAT HAVE MADE THIS COUNTRY. 
          GREAT. 
          SO GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT.
