THROUGH ME, ARAMARK HAS, I'VE BEEN CONNECTED WITH SOME REALLY AMAZING STUDENTS FROM BOTH
THEY HAVE THE AMBITION TO FORM A YOUTH COUNCIL SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHER NEIGHBORING CITIES HAVE.
I BELIEVE THIS COUNCIL CAN HELP, UM, GET OUR STUDENTS REALLY INVOLVED WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT, SET THE PATHWAY FOR SOCIAL SERVICE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, TO GAIN THEIR INSIGHTS AND THEIR INPUT.
DURING MY TIME AS THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSIONER, WE'VE ALWAYS HAD AS A STUDENT MEMBER COMMISSION, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN IMPRESSED WITH THEM AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER.
WE HAVE A GROUP OF REALLY ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENTS WHO WILL BE DEDICATED TO RESTARTING A YOUTH COUNCIL, AND THEY HAVE IDEAS HOW TO ENSURE THE LONGEVITY OF THIS POTENTIAL COUNCIL.
SO I'M HERE TONIGHT TO ASK THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THE FORMATION OF A YOUTH COUNCIL IN OUR CITY.
WE HAVE BEEN, UM, INFORMALLY MEETING TO DISCUSS DIFFERENT IDEAS.
THEY HAVE LOTS OF REALLY GOOD ISSUES.
THEY'D LIKE TO BRING UP, UM, DIFFERENT EVENTS FOR THAT DEMOGRAPHIC.
AND WE'D ALSO LIKE TO THINK, UH, MAYOR MARQUEZ AND COUNCIL AND MORAN FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND FOR, UM, INITIATING THIS.
ONE QUESTION, JENNIFER, CAN YOU GET A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL OF THE STUDENTS THAT ARE ATTENDING THOSE MEETINGS RIGHT NOW TO, UH, OUR, OUR CITY, UH, THAT WAY WE CAN AGENDIZE THIS AND TALK FURTHER ABOUT IT AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SIZE OF THE, UH, COUNCIL SHOULD BE.
THE YOUTH COUNCIL SHOULD BE, UH, IF IT'S FORMED.
CAN YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS? SURE.
MAYOR BRIEFLY, UH, THIS, UH, TOPIC HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP IN A PUBLIC MEETING.

UH, OUR INTENTION IS TO BRING IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL IN THE NEAR FUTURE WITH, UH, SOME PROPOSALS AND FRAMEWORK FOR PROGRAMS, AND THEN LIKELY, UH, WILL, UH, WANT TO ENGAGE WITH, UH, POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS TO GET THEIR OFFICIAL UH BUY-IN AS WELL.
AND JENNIFER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TODAY AND SPEAKING ON THIS, ANY OTHER, OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS KAITLIN SITU.
I'M A STUDENT FROM CHINO HILLS HIGH SCHOOL AND MY PUBLIC COMMENT, I WANT TO ADD ONTO WHAT MS. HALL CAT SAID ABOUT THE YOUTH COUNCIL.
SO THESE PAST FEW WEEKS THERE HAS BEEN A TEAM OF STUDENTS FROM CHINO HILLS HIGH SCHOOL AND AYALA, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD ON CREATING A PROPOSAL FOR OUR YOUTH COUNCIL, AND WE WANT TO CREATE A YOUTH COUNCIL TO HELP FOSTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR NEXT GENERATION OF COMMUNITY LEADERS THROUGH ACTIVE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND MORE THAN EVER BEFORE.
RIGHT NOW THERE'S A GROWING PRESENCE OF PRESENCE OF YOUTH TRYING TO, UM, OR RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND HAVING A STRONG DETERMINANT NATION TO LEAVE AN IMPACT IN THEIR CITY.
AND IT'S A GREAT VALUE FOR OUR CITY TO INVEST IN OUR YOUTH AND DEVELOP
[00:20:01]
MORE YOUTH PROGRAMS TO ENCOURAGE OUR YOUNG RESIDENTS, TO FOLLOW A PATH, TO BEING ACTIVE CITIZENS IN OUR COMMUNITY.AND WHEN WE LOOK AT SURROUNDING CITIES LIKE DIAMOND BAR AND THEIR DIAMOND BAR, UM, DUNBAR'S FOR YOUTH AND THE CHINOS CHINOS, TEEN ADVISORY COUNCIL AND EAST VALLEY YOUTH COUNCIL, IT ALLOWS US MANY EXAMPLES FOR US TO OBSERVE AND ALSO CALLS FOR CHINO HILLS TO CREATE THEIR OWN YOUTH COUNCIL.
AND WE'VE, YOU KNOW, HILL'S POPULATION OF OVER 80,000.
IT'S AMAZING HOW WE CAN STILL MAINTAIN SUCH A SMALL, UM, COMMUNITY CULTURE AND THIS CONNECTIVITY.
AND SO I, UM, I'M CALLING FOR A GREATER NEED FOR YOUTH COUNCIL AND TO INCREASE THIS CONNECTIVITY IN OUR YOUTH AND OUR COMMUNITY.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS CAROL RAO.
AND I'M HERE ALSO TO ELABORATE ON WHAT KATELYN AND MISS HOPE.
SO IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS AS MENTIONED OUR TEAM OF STUDENTS FROM CHINO HILLS HIGH SCHOOL AND IOLA HIGH SCHOOL HAVE DILIGENTLY, PLANNED AND DISCUSSED THE CREATION OF A YOUTH COUNCIL IN CHINO HILLS AND OUR TEAM OF SIX STUDENTS HAVE DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND EXPERIENCE THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO PRESENT ALL PERSPECTIVES.
AND WITH PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH YOUTH COUNCILS, ADVOCACY, AND LEADERSHIP, AND DISCUSSING WITH OUR ADVISOR, JENNIFER COLE, HOPE CAMP, CHINO HILLS PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSIONER, WE COLLABORATED TOGETHER AND CREATE A BLUEPRINT OF HOW WE ENVISIONED CHINO HILLS YOUTH COUNCIL.
WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PAST ATTEMPTS TO CREATE A YOUTH COUNCIL, BUT IT WAS NEVER ABLE TO TAKE OFF AND OUR PLANS TO COMBAT THIS INCLUDES HAVING MORE TERMS THAT LASTS MORE THAN ONE YEAR TO ENSURE THAT YOUR ARE MORE EXPERIENCED MEMBERS FOR GUIDANCE IN CREATING CONNECTIONS WITH SCHOOLS TO RELEASE APPLICATIONS, HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, WE WILL BE ABLE TO FULLY ELABORATE ON OUR PROPOSAL IN OUR PLAN AND HOW THIS YOUTH COUNCIL WOULD BENEFIT.
HE TEENS, YOUTH, CITY, AND COMMUNITY.

WE'RE MOVING TO OUR CONSENT CALENDAR.WE HAVE 15 ITEMS. IS THERE ANY ONE THAT WISHES TO PULL ANY OF THESE ITEMS LIKE TO PULL 14 AT ALL? NOBODY ELSE? NO.
I WAS JUST GOING TO MAKE A, I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED TO PULL TO MAKE A COMMENT JUST ON A COUPLE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE COUNTY FOR WORKING WITH THE CITY.
I KNOW CYNTHIA HAS BEEN OUT AT THE SKATE PARK AS WELL.
IT'LL BE GREAT TO HAVE THOSE ENHANCEMENTS BUILT.
I KNOW THE KIDS ARE, YOU KNOW, THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY WILL APPRECIATE IT.
AND THEN ITEM 21, THANK YOU AGAIN TO STAFF FOR CONTINUING THE IMPROVEMENTS AND WHAT'S AROUND US TO THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS PROGRAM.
SO MR. MAYOR, I HAVE A COUPLE I'D LIKE TO MAKE LIKEWISE W WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE REST FIRST.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT ON 10, 15 AND 18.
YOU WISH THE FORMER JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT ON THEM.
ON 10, UH, JUST TO, SO THAT THE PUBLIC WILL MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THIS.
UH, WE ARE AUTHORIZING THE CANCELLATION OF THE JULY 26TH AND AUGUST 23RD, UH, CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.
UH, THIS IS SOMETHING WE DO EACH YEAR.
WE CANCELED THE SECOND MEETING, UH, IN THOSE TWO MONTHS, UH, TO HELP STAFF, UH, ALLOW THEM TO GET VACATION, TAKE VACATION TIME, AND BECAUSE IT TAKES A LOT OF STAFF TIME TO PREPARE FOR THOSE MEETINGS.
SO JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT, UH, 15 IS THE, UH, WE'RE GOING TO AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF A FIVE-YEAR MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH VALLEY VISTA SERVICES, INC.
IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1 MILLION TO PROVIDE CITY WIDE STREET SWEEPING SERVICES.
UH, THEY WILL BE REPLACING, UH, ATHENS WHO IS OUR CURRENT SWEEP STREET SWEEPER, AND FINALLY, UH, ON 18, UH, FOR ANYONE THAT LIVES IN MY DISTRICT.
UH, DISTRICT THREE, UH, YOU REMEMBER WE HAD WOODVIEW VIEW ROAD HAS BEEN IMPROVED SOMEWHAT, UH, WEST FROM PIPELINE TOWARDS PEYTON.
[00:25:01]
THAT FROM THERE TO PEYTON IS GOING TO BE, UH, UH, IMPROVED AND JUST WANT TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT.SO THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS I HAVE TAKE YOUR ORDER.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ANY THE AGENDA CONSENT CALENDAR NOW? THEY ARE NOT.
I'M REQUESTING THE MOTION AND THE SECOND ON THIS MOTION, BUT I WANT TO RETRACT THAT ME PULLING 14.
YOU'RE NOT PULLING ANY OF YES AND NO.
AND I'M GOING TO BE, UH, I'LL GO WITH THE, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR, BUT I'M GOING TO BE A, NO ONE 15.
SO I'LL MOVE THE ITEM AND YOU'RE A SECOND BRIAN JACKET.
BRIAN, WILL YOU PLEASE LOCK IN YOUR BOATS? HERE WE GO.

[22. Review and file update for emergency repairs at Well 15 and determine by four-fifths vote the need to continue emergency repairs at Well 15 until action is terminated]
MOVING DOWN TO OUR DISCUSSION CALENDAR ITEM, NUMBER 22, REVIEW AND FILE UPDATE EMERGENCY REPAIR REPAIRS AT WELL 15 AND I BELIEVE THE PRESENTER IS DANIEL.UH, NOT TOO LONG AGO, THE COUNCIL APPROVED AN EMERGENCY REPAIR AT WHILE 15.
THOSE REPAIRED ARE STILL ONGOING.
UM, WE STILL EXPECT TO HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED BY END OF JULY OF THIS YEAR, UM, AND GET THAT WALL UP AND RUNNING.
UM, UH, SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR TONIGHT IS FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONTINUE THAT EMERGENCY REPAIR, UM, UNTIL WE GET THE REPAIRS COMPLETED.
ANY QUESTIONS? SO WE NEED MOTION AND A SECOND ON THIS ITEM.
SECOND, CALL FOR A VOTE PLEASE.
[23. Introduce Ordinance entitled: "An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Updating Outdated Addresses for City Hall in the Chino Hills Municipal Code and Determining This Action is Exempt From Review Under the California Environmental Quality Act" for first reading by title only and waiving further reading]

CHERYL, I BELIEVE YOU'RE THE SPEAKER ON THIS.
YEAH, JUST BRIEFLY AS WE'RE WORKING THROUGH OUR CODE BOOK, TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS UP TO DATE.
AND WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS, WE FOUND A COUPLE ITEMS THAT HAD, UH, THE OLD GRAND AVENUE ADDRESS LISTED.
SO THIS IS JUST A CLEANUP ORDINANCE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT AND PUT THEM IN.
WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM.
I'D LIKE TO MOVE THEM AN ITEM, MR. MAYOR.
[24. Provide direction regarding re-allocation of public service portion of 2022-23 program year Community Development Block Grant Funds due to decrease in estimated allocation amount]
THANK YOU.NUMBER 24, PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING RELOCATING FOR PUBLIC SERVICE PORTION OF 20 22 23 PROGRAM YEAR, YEAR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS DO DUE TO DECREASE IN ESTIMATES, ALLOCATING AMOUNTS.
SO THE PRESENTER ON THIS IS, THIS IS THE SAME.
RIGHT? WE WENT THROUGH BACK IN FEBRUARY.
WE, YOU, UH, COUNCIL ALLOCATED THE PUBLIC SERVICE FUNDS FOR CDBG, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD A DECREASE IN OUR ANNUAL ALLOCATION.
UH, SO THEREFORE WE HAVE TO DECREASE THE AMOUNT THAT WE AWARD THE NON-PROFITS BECAUSE THERE'S A MAXIMUM OF 15% ALLOWABLE.
SO WE'RE ASKING DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL ON HOW WE WOULD ALLOCATE THAT DECREASE.
UM, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE JUST DECREASE IT PROPORTIONATELY TO WHAT THEIR AWARD WAS IN FEBRUARY.
WHAT WAS THE, THE F THE ORIGINAL MOUTH THAT WE ALLOCATED AND THE REVISED AMOUNT? SO THE ORIGINAL AWARD WAS A TOTAL WAS 68,000 3 85 AND THE REVISED AMOUNT.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE TALKING JUST OVER $300.
DID YOU SAY 68,000? IT WAS 68,000 VERSUS 58,000.
SO IT'S 10,000 3, 2900 DEGREE.
WELL, FURTHER TO THAT COMMENT, I IT'S UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE EVERY ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE GRANTED THOSE FUNDS TO, UH, ARE IN NEED OF THOSE DOLLARS, BUT THE ONLY FAIR WAVE I WOULD AGREE IS TO DO IT PROPORTIONATELY.
I WILL ADD I'M THE ONLY ONE NOT TO DECREASE WOULD BE PROJECT CELLO SINCE THEY WERE ALREADY AWARDED FIVE.
BUT EVERYBODY ELSE MAY BE DECREASED.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? NONE LET'S VOTE.
MA'AM AND THOSE, THOSE, UH, ORGANIZATIONS WILL BE ADVISED OF THE REDUCTION
[00:30:01]
IN THAT THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN NOTIFIED.JUST, THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH NOW YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TELL THEM.
[25. Provide direction regarding adjustments to City Council Compensation]
OKAY.ITEM NUMBER 25, PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING ADJUSTMENTS TO CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION, A CITY MANAGER.
UM, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT, UH, WOULD BE A CHANGE TO THE CURRENT, UH, CITY COUNCIL, UH, COMPENSATION RATE, UH, TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BACKGROUND FOR THE, UH, COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC.
UM, THE WAY, UH, COUNCILS, UH, UM, COMPENSATION IS ESTABLISHED IS, UH, BASED ON THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE.
AND IT AUTHORIZES THE CITY COUNCIL TO SET THEIR SALARY BASED ON INITIALLY THE CITY'S POPULATION, UH, CHANGES TO THAT COUNCIL COMPENSATION CAN OCCUR WHENEVER, UH, THERE IS AN ELECTION, UH, IN ESSENCE, WHAT THIS DOES, IS IT PROHIBITS, UH, A CURRENT COUNCIL FROM SETTING THE BODY OF THE COUNCILS SALARY.
SO, UH, TO TRY AND DESCRIBE IT A LITTLE MORE IN DETAIL, THE FIVE PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE COUNCIL TODAY WILL CHANGE POTENTIALLY THROUGH AN ELECTION.
AND SO WHEN THEY MAKE A DECISION ABOUT A FUTURE COUNCIL SALARY, THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY VOTING JUST FOR THEMSELVES, THEY'RE VOTING FOR THE FUTURE COUNCIL.
AND SO THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE THIS TYPICALLY SHOW UP AROUND AN ELECTION TIME, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GIVES THEM THE AUTHORITY TO, UH, MAKE THAT CHANGE.
IN ADDITION TO ANY POTENTIAL CHANGES, THE GOVERNMENT CODE, UH, RESTRICTS THE, UH, INCREASES TO A MAXIMUM OF 5% PER CALENDAR YEAR.
AND SO, UH, IN OUR HISTORY AS A CITY, THE COUNCILS, UH, SALARY WAS ESTABLISHED AT $400 IN 1991, WHICH WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT, UH, UH, WAS, UH, UH, AVAILABLE BASED ON OUR POPULATION.
UH, THE COUNCIL MADE AND, UH, INCREASE AND ADJUSTMENT TO THAT COMPENSATION IN, UH, JANUARY OF 2003, UH, GOING FROM $400 TO $541.
UH, ANOTHER INCREASE DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL JANUARY OF 2007, UH, WHERE THE COMPENSATION WENT TO $661 AND 50 CENTS, UH, IN JANUARY OF 2017, UH, WAS THE NEXT TIME THE COUNTY COUNCIL'S COMPENSATION WAS ADJUSTED TO $826 AND 88 CENTS.
SO THAT'S KIND OF THE HISTORY OF HOW THE INCREASES HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
AND BEN, UH, CLARIFICATION ON THAT ALSO COUNCILS SOMETIME IN THE YEAR PRIOR TO THAT PRIOR TO THE ELECTION IN 2002, 2006 AND 2016 VOTED FOR THESE INCREASES, BUT THEY COULD NOT GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND THERE'S TWO WAYS TO IMPLEMENT THAT.
IT CAN BE THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION.
SO NOVEMBER 9TH IN THIS CASE, OR AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THE PATTERN HERE, UH, IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF THE NEW CALENDAR YEAR.
SO JANUARY 1ST IS THE TYPICAL WAY, BUT YOU HAVE OPTIONS.
IT CAN BE ANYTIME AFTER THE ELECTION OR, YOU KNOW, UH, WHAT'S TYPICAL IS, IS CONSISTENT WITH THE FIRST OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.
AND SO THE OPTIONS PRESENTED, UH, AS, AS EXACTLY THAT OPTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL, UH, IT'S WORTH, UH, UH, MAKING CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC THAT IT'S BEEN, UH, JUST OVER FIVE YEARS SINCE THE LAST TIME THE COUNCIL, UH, UH, MADE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THEIR SALARY.
UH, THEY ARE ELIGIBLE IF THEY WANTED TO IMPLEMENT IT, UH, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ELECTION, THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR UP TO A $228 AND 44 CENT INCREASE.
UH, AS SOON AS NOVEMBER 9TH, 2022, UH, THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT WOULD GO UP TO $281 AND 21 CENTS EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2023.
AND AGAIN, SINCE THE RULE IS 5% UP TO 5% PER CALENDAR YEAR, THAT'S WHY THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NOVEMBER 9TH AND JANUARY 1ST, AS YOU WOULD HAVE A NEW CALENDAR YEAR AND AN ADDITIONAL 5%, UH, OPTION.
UH, THE OPTIONS ALSO INCLUDES THAT THE COUNCIL COULD MAKE NO ADJUSTMENT, UH, OR THE COUNCIL COULD CHOOSE A DOLLAR AMOUNT, UH, BELOW WHAT'S PRESENTED HERE, UH, AS MAXIMUMS, UH, TO PUT IT INTO
[00:35:01]
CONTEXT, UH, UH, JANUARY 1ST, 2017, THAT'S, WHAT'S CURRENT AT 8 28 WITH NO INCREASE.IT COULD CONTINUE AND I'M SORRY, 8 26 AND CHANGE.
UH, IT COULD CONTINUE AT THAT LEVEL, UH, GOING FORWARD.
UM, IF, UH, WE OPTED FOR A, UH, NOVEMBER 9TH, UH, THE 828, UH, UH, SORRY, SORRY, 28, THE $826 PLUS THE INCREASE OF $228 WOULD RESULT IN A TOTAL, UH, MONTHLY COMPENSATION FOR THE COUNCIL OF 1050 $5.
UH, IF THE COUNCIL ELECTED TO, UH, MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT, UH, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2023, UH, THE CURRENT 8 26 PLUS THE 2 81 WOULD GET, UH, THE COUNCIL TO $1,108 AND 9 CENTS.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS AS I WAS LOOKING AT THESE NUMBERS, UH, UH, I KIND OF PROJECTED WHAT, UH, THE POTENTIAL, UH, MAXIMUM COMPENSATION WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR THE COUNCIL HAD THEY ELECTED, UH, EVERY TWO YEARS TO INCREASE BASED ON THE MAXIMUM.
AND SO LOOKING AT, UH, WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY, UH, IF FROM DECEMBER 1ST, UH, IN 91 THROUGH TODAY, THE COUNCIL COULD HAVE MADE 5% INCREASES, UH, UH, THROUGH THE ELECTION CYCLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN A TOTAL COMPENSATION OF $1,728.
AND IF, YOU KNOW, YOU DRAW THAT THROUGH JANUARY 1ST, UH, THE COUNCIL TOTAL COMPENSATION COULD HAVE BEEN $1,905, UH, GRAPHICALLY REPRESENTING THIS.
AND THE REASON I PUT THIS TOGETHER IS I THINK IT DOES A GOOD JOB OF ILLUSTRATING, UH, KIND OF THE GAPS BETWEEN INCREASES.
SO YOU CAN SEE THIS CHART, UH, IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT REALLY WELL FROM THE AUDIENCE, WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS ON THE FAR LEFT IN 1991 AND A $400, UH, COUNCIL COMPENSATION.
AND YOU CAN SEE IT STAYS FLAT ALL THE WAY UNTIL 2002.
AND THEN THE ACTION BRINGS IT UP TO, UH, THE 2003 LEVEL, WHICH IS FLAT FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THROUGH 2007 ALL THE WAY, THE 2016, IT REMAINED FLAT.
AND THEN YOU GET THE PERIOD WE'RE IN NOW FROM 2017 THROUGH 2022.
SO I THINK WHAT THIS ILLUSTRATES JUST HOW FREE, HOW INFREQUENTLY THE COUNCIL HAS IN INCREASED OR ADJUSTED THEIR TOTAL COMPENSATION.
AND THEN IF IT WERE TO STAY, UH, FLAT, YOU HAVE A GREEN LINE PASS 8 27, WHICH SHOWS IT FLAT.
AND THEN YOU SEE THAT THE THERE'S A SMALL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHETHER IT'S THE ORANGE LINE OR THE BLUE LINE.
IF THE COUNCIL WERE TO INCREASE THEIR COMPENSATION BASED ON A NOVEMBER OR JANUARY EFFECTIVE DATE.
AND THEN IT JUST KIND OF HELPS TO ALSO SEE THAT IF THIS HAD GONE AT THE MAXIMUM EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS, UH, WE'D BE LOOKING AT BY THE 2025 PERIOD, A $2,000 A MONTH COUNCIL COMPENSATION, UH, AT NO POINT IN TIME.
UH, WOULD I EVER THINK BASED ON THE HISTORY OF THE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE, OR PAST COUNCILS WOULD HAVE TAKEN THAT ACTION, IT JUST PUTS IT ALL INTO PERSPECTIVE WHAT THE LAW ALLOWS VERSUS WHAT WE'RE CONSIDERING TONIGHT.
UH, OTHER, UH, COUNCIL COMPENSATION AREAS IS OUR COUNCIL IS VERY SIMILAR TO A BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR A PUBLIC COMPANY, PRIVATE COMPANY.
UH, THEY ARE, ARE, UH, ALSO RECEIVE BENEFITS, UH, UH, SIMILAR TO WHAT THE EXECUTIVE TEAM DOES HERE AT THE CITY, WHICH INCLUDES A MEDICAL FLEX BENEFIT OF $1,659, A CAR ALLOWANCE, UH, AT $500 AND THEN THEIR, UH, VISION AND CELL PHONE AND A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY THAT ARE ALSO PART OF THAT.
AND THEN A RETIREMENT PLAN, PA PARTICIPATION, DEPENDING ON WHEN THEY WERE ELECTED TO OFFICE, IN WHAT TIER THEY'RE CLASSIFIED BY OUR RETIREMENT SYSTEM.
SO, UH, BASICALLY FOR THE PUBLIC, IN ADDITION TO THE MONTHLY SALARY, THERE ARE OTHER BENEFITS THAT COME WITH THE POSITION.
AND SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS WE'RE LOOKING FOR DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL ON HOW YOU WOULD LIKE US TO PROCEED OR NOT PROCEED WITH, UH, ADJUSTMENTS TO COUNCIL COMPENSATION.
AND SHOULD WE GET DIRECTION TO MAKE A CHANGE TO COUNCIL COMPENSATION? UH, WE'LL BRING IT BACK, UH, IN THE FORM OF AN ORDINANCE.
THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO OFFICIALLY CHANGE, UH, THE, UH, COMPENSATION FOR THE COUNCIL.
AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR NOW GOT A QUICK QUESTION REGARDING OUR SURROUNDING CITIES, SUCH AS ONTARIO,
[00:40:01]
CHINO, DO WE KNOW WHAT THEIR COMPENSATION IS? YES.THERE WAS A SURVEY PERFORMED BY STAFF THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE STAFF REPORT.
UH, I BELIEVE IT'S AS LOW AS $400 AND AS HIGH AS WELL.
I'M LOOKING AT THE STAFF REPORT, CHINO, YOU JUST SPECIFICALLY CHINO ELECTED R $1,281 A MONTH.
AND THEN YOU ASKED ABOUT ONTARIO, ONTARIO.
THE MAYOR IS $5,000, 5,065, AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE 1884, RIGHT.
AND EIGHT, SO 1885 IS THE, THE HIGHEST OF THE, OF THE SURVEY.
SO IN COMPARISON TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING THE RANGE TONIGHT.
AND RANCHO IS AT 1452 FOR FOUR CURRENT COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I THINK THE CLOSEST DEMOGRAPHICALLY AND WITH A LOT OF SIMILARITIES TO OUR COMMUNITY WOULD BE CHINO.
AND I WOULD NOTE, OR HAVE EVERYBODY NOTE THAT CURRENTLY THEY'RE RECEIVING $1,282 A MONTH.
AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT RELATIVE EXPERIENCE AND DEDICATION TO THE CITY.
EVERY ONE OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE GOT MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS OF SERVICE TO THIS COMMUNITY.
SO THEY HAVE A CHINO AND I'M NO CASTING DISPERSIONS, BUT THEY HAVE FOUR BRAND NEW FIRST TERM COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CITY, UH, EXPERIENCE.
I DON'T BELIEVE THERE MIGHT'VE BEEN ONE OR TWO COMMISSIONERS, UH, IN THE PAST AND THEY'RE BEING PAID $1,282 A MONTH.
IF WE WERE TO GO WITH A FULL POTENTIAL INCREASE THAT'S AVAILABLE, WE WOULD BE MAKING $1,108, WHICH IS STILL BE CONSIDERABLY UNDER WHAT CHINO NEXT DOOR IS BEING, UH, COMPENSATING THEIR COUNCIL MEMBERS.
AND I WOULD SAY, UH, IN FAIRNESS TO OURSELVES THAT WE WORK EVERY BIT AS HARD AS THEM.
UH, IF YOU, UH, CHECK OUT THEIR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, MOST OF THEM ARE VERY SHORTENED DURATION BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES GOING ON.
WE, ALTHOUGH WE'RE 30 YEARS OLD, STILL HAVE A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITHIN THE CITY.
SO, YOU KNOW, SALARY IS A TOUCHY THING.
UH, IT'S NEVER, UH, A COMFORTABLE SITUATION TO BE FIGHTING FOR A COUNCIL OR A, A, UH, SALARY FOR YOURSELF.
BUT I FULLY BELIEVE IN MY HEART OF HEARTS THAT THIS COUNCIL, EVERY MEMBER TO A T UH, EARNED EVERY BIT, PEOPLE THINK, OH, THERE'S ONLY TWO COUNCIL MEETINGS PER MONTH.
ANYBODY THAT'S FAMILIAR WITH WHAT WE DO REALIZES ALL OF THIS, THE SPECIAL MEETINGS WE GO TO AND ALL OF THE ADDITIONAL, UH, RESPONSIBILITIES, WE HAVE TO SAY, NOTHING OF THE FLACK WE TAKE ON A REGULAR BASIS FROM DISGRUNTLED, UH, RESIDENTS, SOME DESERVE, MAYBE NOT, BUT AT ANY RATE, I'LL GET DOWN OFF MY SOAP BOX, BUT I WANT TO, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE COMPARE OURSELVES TO CHINO THERE AT 1282, WE WOULD BE GOING TO 1108 AND I WOULD BE PROPOSING THAT WE BRING THIS BACK TO US WITH THE FULL 30% THAT IS AVAILABLE AS OF JANUARY OF NEXT YEAR.
THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS, UH, WE HAD GONE WITHOUT A RAISE FOR 10 YEARS.
THERE WAS, UH, AVAILABLE 50% THAT WE COULD HAVE INCREASED THE SALARY.
SO WE WENT AHEAD AND GRANTED 25%, BUT WHEN WE'VE ONLY HAD THIS COUNCIL IN 30 YEARS, THREE PAY INCREASES, I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME.
AND I AM NOT ONE BIT EMBARRASSED ABOUT ASKING, UH, MY FELLOW COLLEAGUES TO, UH, PROPOSE THAT WE GO AHEAD AND, UH, PUT IN PLACE THE MECHANISM TO GRANT A 30% PAY INCREASE, UH, JANUARY OF 2023 AFTER THE ELECTION.
AND IT WILL AFFECT WHOEVER IS ELECTED AND IT WILL BE BUILT INTO THE BASE FOR FUTURE CANCELS.
THERE'S A LOT OF COMMITMENT ON EACH ONE OF OUR PARTS AND ALL OF US HAVE MANY, MANY YEARS OF SERVICE.
WE'RE NOT POLITICIANS WE'RE SERVANTS.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE RESIDENTS ARE WELL-SERVED AND THAT WE ARE, WE HAVE A FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TO THE, UH, ALL OF THE RESIDENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT ONLY EXPENDITURES ARE MADE THAT ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY, REGARDLESS OF EVERY ONE OF US VOTE FOR THINGS THAT ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY AND ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS.
SO I'LL GET DOWN OFF MY SOAP BOX, BUT I FULLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE THING TO DO AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
WELL, WE SORT OF JUMPED THE GUN A LITTLE BIT.
DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS? YES, WE HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT AND I DO WANT TO MAKE NOTE THAT WE RECEIVED ONE BY EMAIL THAT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO THE COUNCIL AND THE DYESS, AND HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE WEBSITE AND IN THE PUBLIC BOOK FOR PUBLIC VIEWING.
THAT ONE WAS FROM LOUIS' BARS.
[00:45:01]
THE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WE HAVE HERE TODAY IS RONNIE GUYER.I AM SO HAPPY AND GLAD THAT YOU REPRESENT ME AS THE DISTRICT AND THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AREA IN WHICH I LIVE.
WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS NOW, AND YOU'VE COME BACK AND FORTH AND YOU ARE ACTIVE IN ORANGE COUNTY, UH, UH, PEOPLE THAT YOU HELP DOWN THERE.
AND, UH, WHEN I WAS REPRESENTING MEMBERS OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE IN ORANGE COUNTY, WE INTERACTED AND, AND CAME TO NORWICH OTHER HERE.
THEN I BEGAN TO KNOW EVERYONE ELSE WHEN I STARTED COMING TO THE MEETING.
SO I KNOW HOW HARD YOU WORK AS REPRESENTING ME UP IN, UH, UP IN THE HILL.
I'M A VETERAN OF BEING, UH, GROWING UP NEXT TO DISNEYLAND IN THE 1950S.
AND WE HAD A YOUTH COUNCIL IN HIGH SCHOOL.
AND WE ALSO HAD YOUTH DAYS IN WHICH WE COULD, UH, BE RE REBATE CITY COUNCILMAN FOR A DAY OR WHATEVER, OKAY.
AND THAT WORKED OUT VERY, VERY WELL TOO.
SO IT REALLY HAS A REFLECTION AS YOU GO FURTHER ON IN YOUR LIFE.
AND IN MY CASE, I JUST TURNED 80 YEARS OLD AND I DO VERY MUCH BASE THE EXPERIENCES THAT I'VE HAD HERE, UH, AND ABLE TO ASSUME EVERYTHING AND, UH, AND, AND GROW WITH IT HAS BEEN THE DELIGHT OF WATCHING ALL OF YOU DO YOUR WORK FOR US.
AND WHEN I WAS REPRESENTING MEMBERS OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE, THEY WOULD ASK WHY AND WHERE, HOW FAR DID YOU HAVE TO DRIVE? OR WHERE'D YOU COME FROM, I'D SAY CHINO HILLS.
AND I'VE SAID THIS MANY TIMES, AS SOON AS THEY SAY CHINO HILLS, NO, IT'S BREATHLESS OUT THERE.
THERE'S THE DIVINE, THERE'S DIVINE PROVIDENCE HAPPENING HERE, TOO.
THE FIRES COME CLOSE AND THEY, AND THE WIND CHANGES.
I MEAN, EVERYTHING'S WORKING ON OUR SIDE, YOU KNOW, IT'S TIME THAT YOU ARE ACTIVE QUICKLY COMPENSATED FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND SETTING THE RIGHT EXAMPLE FOR ALL THE OTHER CITY COUNCILS AND STAFFERS IN THIS.
AND NOT ONLY IN THIS, UM, IN THIS, UH, CITY CA IN THIS, UH, UH, INLAND EMPIRE, BUT ALSO ORANGE COUNTY AND EVERYBODY ELSE.
I THINK YOU'RE THE BEST THING GOING IN THIS STATE, IF NOT THE COUNTRY, LASTLY, STAFF, I WANT TO THANK CYNTHIA MORAN FOR BEING CONNECTED TO THE RECREATION PROGRAM.
SO A PICTURE TODAY OF HER WITH THE SWIMMERS, FROM, UH, GENTLE HILLS HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONS, AND THERE WAS MY GRANDDAUGHTER RIGHT BEHIND HER, UH, EMMY GEIER.
SO OF ALL THESE YEARS, I'VE BEEN HERE AND I'VE SEEN ALL THE CHAMPIONS FROM ALL THIS CHINO HILLS, EVERYTHING ELSE, THERE'S MY GRANDDAUGHTER, A JUNIOR.
AND I THINK SHE'S GOING TO BE BACK NEXT YEAR DOING THIS AND THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBER.
I THINK EVERYONE IN ANY OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS, NOW, THERE ARE NOT GALLAGHER.
I'LL BRING IT BACK UP TO THE DAYA.
SO ARE, WE'VE ALREADY SAID SOMETHING, CYNTHIA, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO FILM? IT WAS BRIAN.
I WAS GOING TO GIVE A LITTLE HISTORY, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT HISTORY.
WE GIVE HISTORY ON IT SO THAT PEOPLE ARE UNDERSTAND, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE TAKE LIGHTLY.
UH, BUT I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE GO AHEAD AND PUT THAT IN THE FORM OF AN ORDINANCE.
BRING IT BACK UP, BACK TO US AS, UH, UH, OUR NEXT MEETING, IF POSSIBLE, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S SOME TIMING ISSUES WITH, UH, THE ELECTION THIS YEAR AND FILING PERIODS AND ET CETERA.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE MY MOTION.
WHAT IS YOUR MOTION AGAIN? IS IT IT'S TO BASICALLY BRING BACK TO US AN ORDINANCE THAT WILL AUTHORIZE A 30% PAY INCREASE EFFECTIVE JANUARY OF 2023, SUBSEQUENT TO THE ELECTION.
IT WILL APPLY TO THOSE, UM, CYNTHIA AND I, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT UP FOR REELECTION AND WHOEVER IS SUCCESSFUL WITHIN THE OTHER THREE OF YOU, THAT WILL, I'M ASSUMING WILL BE RUNNING FOR REELECTION.
IS THERE A SECOND ON THIS ALL SECOND, IT'S A REAL EMOTION FIRST AND A SECOND.
FOUR ONE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER JOS VOTING.

OKAY.GOING DOWN TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION MATTERS, ITEM NUMBER 26, FIRST OF ALL, 26, CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS.
DOES ANYBODY WISH TO PULL THIS? OKAY.
[27. Introduce Ordinance entitled: "An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills Approving Municipal Code Amendment No. 22MCA02 to Amend Title 16 of the Chino Hills Municipal Code Chapter 16.02 - Definitions, Chapter 16.06 - General Development Standards, Chapter 16.07 - Landscape and Water Conservation Requirements, and Chapter 16.38 - Signs Regarding Electronic Signs, and Determining the Ordinance is Exempt From Review Under the California Environmental Quality Act” for first reading by title only and waive further reading]
TITLE NUMBER 27, PUBLIC HEARING, INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED[00:50:01]
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS APPROVING MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT 22, MCA 0 2 2, A MAN TITLE 16 OF THE CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 16.02.DEFINITION CHAPTER 16.07, GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, CHAPTER 16.01 LANDSCAPE AND WATER CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS AND CHAPTER 16.38 SIGNS REGARDING ELECTRONIC SCIENCE AND DETERMINING THIS ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL ACT FOR FIRST READING, BY TITLE ONLY AND WAIVE FURTHER READINGS.
SO AT THIS TIME IT'S AN OAKLAND OPEN TO HEARING.
I'M GOING TO OPEN THE HEARING.
DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE SIRI? WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS HEARING AT THIS TIME.
UH, YVETTE BRUNETTO IS GOING TO PROVIDE A REPORT HI, GOOD EVENING.
MAYOR MARQUEZ, VICE MAYOR ROGERS AND FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I WILL BE PRESENTING TONIGHT, MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT 22, MTA O T A L M C A ZERO TWO, WHICH ARE MISCELLANEOUS UPDATES TO TITLE 16 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE.
AS WE KNOW, THE MUNICIPAL CODE IS A LIVING DOCUMENT THAT REQUIRES UPDATING FROM TIME TO TIME TO CLARIFY ITEMS, ENSURE CONFORMANCE AND OF OTHER AGENCY REGULATIONS AND ESTABLISH NEW PROVISIONS.
SO, UM, WE ARE ADDING, UPDATING OUR DEFINITIONS, GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, UH, PORTIONS OF THE LANDSCAPE AND WATER CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS AND PORTIONS OF OUR SIGN ORDINANCE.
THE MOST NOTABLE OF OUR PROPOSED PROVISIONS ARE FOR THE ELECTRONIC CHANGEABLE MESSAGE SIGNS.
UM, SO AS YOU GUYS EVERYONE'S AWARE IOWA AND CHINO HILLS IN BOTH INSTALLED ELECTRONIC CHAIN CHANGEABLE MESSAGE SIGNS.
AND, UM, THEY'VE BEEN, UM, THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD AT CONVEYING WHAT'S GOING ON WITHIN THOSE, THE HIGH SCHOOLS.
AND WE TOO HAVE INSTALLED OUR, AN ELECTRONIC CHANGEABLE MESSAGE SIGN TO PROMOTE OUR CITY ACTIVITIES.
UM, SO DUE TO THESE, THESE SIGNS, WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD SEVERAL REQUESTS FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONAL, UM, ORDINANCE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WOULD LIKE TO ALSO HAVE SIGNS AS WELL AS SUCH, UM, SUCH AS, UM, SHEENA VALLEY COMMUNITY CHURCH.
UM, SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS TO ESTABLISH PROVISIONS FOR THESE ELECTRONICAL CHANGEABLE ELECTRONIC CHANGEABLE MESSAGE SIGNS, WHICH WOULD BE ONLY ALLOWED IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONAL ZONES.
WE USE OUR, OF THESE PROVISIONS PROVISIONS THAT ARE ACTUALLY MODELED AFTER THE CITY'S ELECTRONIC CHANNEL AND MESSAGE SIGN THAT'S LOCATED AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
AND THEN WE'VE JUST DEVELOPED THESE, UH, PROVISIONS FROM THERE.
SO FOR INSTANCE, ONLY ONE FREESTANDING SIGN PER PROPERTY, UM, THIS, THE CHANGEABLE MESSAGE PORTION.
SO LIKE 2%, UH, WE NEED TO HAVE LEDS.
THEY HA THEY CAN'T CHANGE, UM, MORE FREQUENT THAN SEVEN SECONDS AND SO FORTH.
UM, STAFFER RECOMMENDS TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THEY CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS OF PRIVY MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT NUMBER 22 MC ZERO TO TWO MEN TITLE 16 OF CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 16, 0 2 DEFINITIONS CHAPTER 16, 0 6, GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS CHAPTER IN CHAPTER 16, 0 7, LANDSCAPE AND WATER CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS AND CHAPTER 1638 SIGNS REGARDING ELECTRONIC SIGNS AND DETERMINING ORDINANCES EXEMPT FOR ME VIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
AND THEN I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK A LITTLE BIT MORE OF WHAT BROUGHT THIS, WHAT CAUSED THIS TO COME TO US NOW? THE SIGNS ARE ALL OR EVERYTHING IN GENERAL? WELL, SPECIFICALLY IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S POTENTIALLY A LOT MORE ELECTRONIC SIGNS THAT COULD BE AVAILABLE AS A RESULT OF THIS.
IT WOULD ONLY BE FOR, FOR, UM, ORGANIZATIONS IN THE INSTITUTIONAL ZONE.
SO IT WOULD BE CHURCHES, SCHOOLS DON'T GO THROUGH US.
SO IT'S MAINLY CHURCHES AND CHURCH CHURCHES BASICALLY.
AND THAT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION OR THAT DESIRE WAS MADE.
WHY DO YOU HAVE BACKGROUND ON THAT? SORRY.
UH, WE'VE WE'VE HAD FOR SEVERAL YEARS, WE'VE HAD AN INTEREST FROM RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS, UH, BEING ABLE TO HAVE CHANGEABLE, UH, MESSAGE BOARDS TO, UH, TO DISPLAY THEIR, UM, THE MESSAGES OR EVENTS, ANY SERVICES THAT ARE GOING
[00:55:01]
ON.UM, THEY HAVE SEVERAL THAT ARE GOING ON THROUGH THROUGHOUT EACH WEEK, DIFFERENT EVENTS FOR SEASONAL EVENTS.
UH, SO THEY JUST WANT THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO, TO, UH, PRESENT TO THE PUBLIC.
UM, AND SO WE'RE, WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH A, UH, UH, AN ORDINANCE THAT CAN POSSIBLY, UH, UH, GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT.
BUT THE OPERATIVE WORD, IT NEEDS TO BE AN INSTITUTIONAL ORGANIZATION OR INSTITUTIONALLY ZONES, CORRECT? CORRECT.
I KNOW WE DIDN'T TOUCH ON IT, BUT WHEN WE'RE CHANGING, WE'RE CHANGING DEFINITIONS IN CHAPTER 16.02.
ANYTIME I SEE THE WORD MARIJUANA, IT KIND OF CATCHES MY EYE.
SO WHAT'S THE CHANGE IN DEFINITION REGARDING MARIJUANA, IT WAS JUST TO MAKE IT, UM, EQUAL TO WHAT WAS IT? IT WAS FOR CONFORMITY.
LET'S SEE HERE, IT'D BE UPDATED TO REFLECT THE DEFINITION IN THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE.
WHAT DOES THAT, AND THEN THE QUEEN'S ENGLISH, WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN FOR US? SO IT SHALL HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS CANNABIS, AS DEFINED IN THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE.
SO IT'S INTERCHANGEABLE, SO YOU COULD USE MARIJUANA OR CANNABIS, BUT AS FAR AS OUR REGULATING, IT IT'S THE SAME, WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED.
SO JUST CLEAN UP LANGUAGE, ESSENTIALLY, ESSENTIALLY TO THE SYSTEM WITH THE STATE.
I JUST HAVE A QUESTION PERTAINING TO SCIENCE.
UM, IS THERE LIKE SO MANY FEET FROM THE STREET AS FAR AS DISTANCE FOR ELECTRONIC SCIENCE AS FAR AS FOR THE ELECTRONIC SIGNS? YES, AND MY QUESTION IS I JUST DON'T WANT THEM TO BE RIGHT UP ON THE, ON THE EDGE OF THE CURB NEAR, SO THAT WOULD BE PER FOR OUR PLACEMENT.
UM, SO THESE SIGNS WOULD HAVE TO ADHERE TO OUR OTHER MONUMENT SIGN REQUIREMENTS.
SO, WHICH DO HAVE DISTANCES AND SETBACKS.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?
I HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.
I KNOW I DO KNOW THAT BECAUSE I SEE IT ALL THE TIME.
I'LL BE IN FRONT OF A SMOKE SHOP AND IT'S, IT'S SCROLLING, IT'S FLASHING, IT'S BLINKING.
SO MY QUESTION IS, ARE THESE STANDARDS ALSO, DO THEY ALSO APPLY TO OUR RETAIL SIGNAGE? AND IF, IF THEY DO, THEN WE NEED TO GET CODE ENFORCEMENT OUT THERE.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE THOSE STOCK TICKER KIND OF SIGNS THAT YOU SEE, RIGHT.
AND IF, IF THEY ARE NOT, WOULD YOU LIKE THEM TO BE, IF WE DON'T HAVE, I'D LIKE IT TO COME BACK FOR US TO DISCUSS THAT? IF IT'S NOT.
I, UH, COUNSEL, I DID, I'D ADVISE THAT WE HAVE STAFF BRING THAT QUESTION BACK, UH, BECAUSE THEY ARE REALLY DIFFERENT, UH, CIRCUMSTANCES AS, AS THE MAYOR POINTED OUT, THERE'S A CONCERN ABOUT THE PLACEMENT OF THE SIGNS.
AND SOME OF THE, THE GUIDANCE THAT'S GIVEN IN THIS IS WITH THE EYE THAT MOTORISTS WILL SEE, UH, THE SIGNS WE WILL DEFINITELY BRING BACK AND COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE TWO, UH, PROVISIONS SO THAT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW THEY, UH, HOW THEY WORK.
AND IF THERE'S ANY DIRECTION TO CHANGE, UH, THE STOREFRONT LET'S CALL IT, UH, ELECTRONIC SIGNS.
WE'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE THAT DIRECTION AT THAT TIME.
I'M GONNA OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTARY BACK TO US.
I'M GOING TO CLOSE IT, BRINGING IT BACK TO US.
THE FIRST QUESTION, IS THERE A SIZE LIMITATION ON THE PHYSICAL STRUCTURE FOR THE ELECTRONIC FRAME? I DIDN'T SEE IT AS I WAS LOOKING.
I SAW 60 CENT PROPORTION FOR THE SIGN FACE, BUT IS THERE A SIZE RESTRICTION? IF YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I BELIEVE, UH, WE REALLY HAVE KIND OF CODES INTERMINGLING HERE WHAT'S WHAT'S, UH, DESCRIBED IS THAT IT CAN'T BE MORE THAN 60%.
UH, BUT THE SIGN CODE HAS, UH, PRESCRIPTIONS ON HOW BIG A MONUMENT SIGN, UH, CAN BE.
I BELIEVE THEY KIND OF COME TOGETHER TO GIVE YOU THOSE
[01:00:01]
ULTIMATE DIMENSIONS.NO, IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO KNOW THIS BECAUSE I'M SINCE NOT INDICATED HERE.
I MEAN, NOW WE'RE GOING TO POSSIBLY HAVE A FEW MORE SIGNS HOVERING OVER PEYTON AS AN EXAMPLE.
AND HOW BIG ARE THOSE SIGNS GOING TO BE SINCE IT'S NOT DEFINED HERE? I KNOW THE SIGN WE HAVE IS NOT OVERLY BIG, ACTUALLY COULD HAVE BEEN BIGGER, BUT IT'S NOT OVERLY BIG, BUT ARE OTHERS GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT? SO I WONDER WHAT THAT SIZE IS GOING TO BE HOVERING POSSIBLY OVER PEYTON W WE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO CIRCLE BACK AND SHOW THE COUNCIL WHAT THE EXISTING CON SIGN CODE DICTATES FOR A MONUMENT SIGN.
BUT WHAT'S BEING DISCUSSED TONIGHT IS JUST WITHIN THOSE GUIDELINES.
HOW WOULD A SIGN THAT IS AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT FIT INTO THAT MONUMENT SIGN, BUT YEAH.
ALL GOOD QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ULTIMATE IMPACT OF THIS ON A COMMUNITY.
DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD BRING THIS BACK AT A LATER TIME OR ARE WE JUST TRYING TO CLEAN UP LANGUAGE ON THIS ORDINANCE? UH, WE BROUGHT IT FORWARD.
I BELIEVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, UH, DILIGENTLY REVIEWED THIS.
I THINK THERE'S, UH, WE COULD EASILY JUST COME BACK FOR THE COUNSEL'S INFORMATION, UH, WITH SOME OTHER, UH, KIND OF, UH, PARAMETERS OF THIS, BUT, UH, IT'S, IT'S UP TO YOU IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HOLD WITHHOLD ANY PORTION OF THIS FOR THAT FUTURE DISCUSSION.
WITH THAT, WE'LL MAKE A MOTION SECOND AND THEN WE'LL GET SOME, AND I THINK PETER BRINGS UP BOTH MEN.
CAUSE IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PEYTON AND INSTITUTIONS, YOU COULD HAVE ST PAUL'S, YOU HAVE THE LDS CHURCH, YOU COULD HAVE THE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN CHURCH DOWN THE WAY.
AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, YOU HAVE THE, YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY BUILDING OR THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THEN WHAT DOES I, ALL OF HIGH SCHOOL ALREADY HAVE ONE.
YES, THEY DO START LOOKING LIKE VEGAS WITH YEAH, BUT PROMOTING JESUS YOU'RE WELL, LET THE STREET LINE IT'S WHAT IS THE WISH OF THE COUNCIL? AND I SAY, WE GO AHEAD AND APPROVE AND THEN HAD COME BACK WITH MORE INFORMATION AND WE CAN ALWAYS TWEAK THIS DOWN THE ROAD, RIGHT.
I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO ACCEPT AND MOVE FORWARD.
WELL FURTHER DISCUSSION CALL FOR VOTE.
[28. Adopt resolutions adopting Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget and establishing Fiscal Year 2022-23 Appropriation Limits for City of Chino Hills and Community Facilities Districts Nos. 10 and 2015-1]
OKAY.MOVING ITEM NUMBER 28, ADOPTED RESOLUTION ADOPTING FISCAL YEAR 20 22 23 BUDGET AND ESTABLISHING FISCAL YEAR 20 22, 23 APPROPRIATION LIMITS FOR THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS COMMUNITY FACILITY, DISTRICTS NUMBERS 10 AND TWO 15 DASH ONE FINANCE DIRECTOR WILL BE PRESENTING THIS ACTUALLY MAYOR I'LL BE PRESENTING, UH, TONIGHT.
UM, THE CITY COUNCIL STAFF, UH, HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO DEVELOP OUR, UH, BUDGET FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR.
I'M GOING TO TRY AND GIVE A VERY ABBREVIATED VERSION OF THE, UH, PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION THAT OCCURRED AT OUR WORKSHOP, UH, IN MAY, UH, WHERE THE COUNCIL, UH, WENT THROUGH ALL OF THE ASPECTS OF OUR BUDGET AND GAVE, UH, FEEDBACK AND QUESTIONS TO, UH, THE TEAM THAT HAS, UH, DEVELOPED IT, UH, AS BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS OUR, UH, GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE, WHICH IS THE, UH, COMPONENT OF OUR BUDGET THAT WE HAVE THE MOST, UH, UM, FLEXIBILITY WITH ALSO HAS A UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE OF, UH, $32.8 MILLION.
THIS IS WHAT WE ALSO CALL OUR, UH, RESERVES AND THAT'S, UH, 63% OF OPERATING EXPENDITURES.
UM, IN TOTAL, UH, WE HAVE A FUND BALANCE OR RESERVE, UH, TO THE TUNE OF $42.7 MILLION.
UM, WHILE, UH, WE HAVE A OPERATING BUDGET THAT, UH, UH, CONSISTS OF A VARIETY OF PROGRAM AREAS.
THERE ARE THREE AREAS THAT WE LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT, UH, THAT HAVE, UH, REQUIRE SUBSIDIES, UH, FROM OTHER AREAS OF THE BUDGET.
OUR LI UH, LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT, UH, HAS EXPENDITURES THAT EXCEED THE REVENUE THAT COMES FROM THE ASSESSMENT ON THESE PROPERTIES PROPOSED THIS YEAR AT, UH, $3.5 MILLION.
UH, IN ESSENCE, THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT HAS INCLUDED IN THIS BUDGET, QUITE A BIT OF, UH, TLC ITEMS THAT NEEDED TO OCCUR, UH, AT A VARIETY OF, UH, AREAS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
UH, OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES FUND IS WHERE WE PAY FOR THE, UH, PROGRAMS, UH, THROUGH OUR RECREATION PROGRAMS. UH, AND, UH, WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL EVER
[01:05:01]
HAVE REVENUE FULLY COVER, UH, THE EXPENDITURES IN THAT PROGRAM.THIS IS IN ESSENCE, A $6.2 MILLION INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY, UH, WHEREBY WE ALLOCATE A GENERAL FUND MONEY, UH, TO PAY FOR OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS. UH, WE ALSO HAVE TARGET JUST WANT TO ASK YOU BASED ON THE COMMUNITY SERVICE FUND, OTHER SURROUNDING CITIES, THEY'RE IN THE SAME BOAT AS US, RIGHT? UH, YES, I'M, I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY CITY THAT THAT GETS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE, YOU KNOW, PER SE, OF, OF THAT, UM, COMPETENCE, UH, YOU KNOW, REVENUE FOR, UH, FOR THEIR COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS. EXCUSE ME.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE A STREET SWEEPING PROGRAM WHERE, UH, ASSESSMENTS ON THE PROPERTIES ARE DESIGNED TO COVER THE COST OF STREET SWEEPING.
UH, UM, WE ANTICIPATE NEXT YEAR THAT THERE'LL BE A $60,000 SUBSIDY FROM, UH, THE GENERAL FUND TO PAY FOR THAT, UM, WITH OUR LE UH, LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICTS AND OUR STREET SWEEPING ASSESSMENTS, BOTH OF THOSE HAVE BEEN FROZEN DUE TO THE REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH, UH, HOW THE CITY WOULD BE ABLE TO RAISE THAT REVENUE AND THE PROP TWO 18 PROCESS, WHICH WE TALK ABOUT AND THAT WE UTILIZE FOR SOME OF OUR OTHER, UH, UM, UH, FEE, UH, INCREASES.
UH, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT IN THESE AREAS.
AND SO, UM, WHICH IS A HOT TOPIC NOW, INFLATION HAS ERODED, UH, TO THE LEVEL TO WHERE WE HAVE TO USE GENERAL FUND MONEY TO PAY FOR THOSE PROGRAMS. UM, ANOTHER, UH, BUDGET HIGHLIGHT IS OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAM WHEREBY WE'RE ANTICIPATING A $621,000 INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR FOR A TOTAL OF $17.2 MILLION BUDGETED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
UH, IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT THAT'S AN INCREDIBLE, UH, VALUE.
UH, THAT'S INHERENT IN THE WAY SHERIFF DEPARTMENTS WORK.
UH, WE HAVE A SHARED COMMAND STAFF.
UH, WE HAVE SHARED RESOURCES AND IN A LOT OF WAYS THAT'S GIVES US AN ECONOMY OF SCALE WHERE IN AN INCIDENT WE CAN, UH, STAFF UP IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS, BUT WE'RE ALSO NOT PAYING FOR OUR OWN HELICOPTER OR, YOU KNOW, OTHER, UH, COMPONENTS THAT GO INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT, UH, THAT $17 MILLION PAYS FOR ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE BADGE.
UH, ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT THAT, THE VEHICLES.
AND SO IT'S, IT'S A TURNKEY, UH, COSTS THERE.
UM, ONE OF THE BIG BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS THAT W I'LL SHOWCASE WHEN WE GET TO THE DEPARTMENTS IS THAT NOW THAT WE ARE MOVING TO A NEW SOLID WASTE PROVIDER, WE NO LONGER WILL BE DOING THE BILLING FOR RESIDENTIAL, UH, SERVICE.
AND SO, BECAUSE WE DON'T DO THE BILLING, WE WON'T HAVE THE CORRESPONDING REVENUE FROM THE RESIDENTS, BUT WE ALSO DON'T HAVE THE EXPENDITURES OF PAYING THE HOLLER FOR THAT.
SO IT'LL SHOW THEM THE NUMBERS MOVING, BUT IT'S MAINLY BECAUSE NOW THAT DIRECT BILLING WILL COME FROM, UH, OUR NEW HOLLER, UH, WASTE MANAGEMENT.
AND THEN, UH, ANOTHER, ANOTHER AREA THAT WE'LL SHOWCASE IN MORE DETAIL LATER IN THE PRESENTATION IS WE HAVE A ROBUST CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PLAN FOR THIS NEXT YEAR, UH, FOR THE PUBLIC.
THIS IS WHERE WE MAKE, UH, BIG IMPROVEMENTS AND BIG PROJECTS HAPPEN IN OUR BUDGET.
AND SO WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THOSE, UH, IN, UH, FUTURE SLIDES, EXCUSE ME.
UM, WELL, ONE OF THE AREAS THAT WE DO WANT TO SHOWCASE IS THAT WE'RE MAKING SOME PERSONNEL CHANGES, UH, PROPOSED THIS YEAR.
UM, WE HAVE A VERY LEAN AND MEAN TEAM HERE IN THE CITY AND, UH, AS OUR, UH, UH, OBLIGATIONS TO THE COMMUNITY GROW AS OUR, UH, TALENT IN-HOUSE GROW, WE'VE MATCHED, UH, SOME OF THOSE, UH, NEW, UH, OPPORTUNITIES WITH POSITIONS, UH, IN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.
WE HAVE A VIDEO PRODUCTION TECHNICIAN.
THAT'S CURRENTLY PART-TIME, WE'RE LOOKING TO MOVE THAT TO FULL-TIME UH, AND IN ASSOCIATION WITH OUR NEW SOLID WASTE PROGRAM AND THE, UH, STATE REQUIREMENTS THAT COME FROM MANDATES, SUCH AS OUR, UH, ORGANICS PROGRAM, UH, WILL BE, UH, ADDING A MANAGEMENT ANALYST, WHICH HAS KIND OF A, A GENERALIST IN THE CITY TO HELP US WITH COMPLIANCE AND THEN CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, UH, ALSO, UH, UH, TO HELP WITH THAT.
AND, UH, THOSE NEW POSITIONS WILL DIRECTLY, UH, ASSIST US IN, IN MEETING THE STATE'S REQUIREMENTS, MOVING FORWARD IN OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
UH, WE'RE IN A POSITION WHERE WE IN ESSENCE HAVE ONE FULL-TIME BUILDING INSPECTOR AND THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY, UH, UH, WARRANTS, A, UH, ANOTHER BUILDING INSPECTOR WE'RE CURRENTLY, UH, USING A CONSULTANT TO HELP COVER SOME OF THE ACTIVITY, BUT IT MAKES SENSE NOW
[01:10:01]
FOR US TO HAVE, UH, TWO, UH, BUILDING INSPECTORS ON THE TEAM, UH, WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD IN, UH, ASSISTANT ASSOCIATE PLANNER TO HELP WITH, UH, THE WORKLOAD THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPMENT.ASSISTANT ASSOCIATE IS KIND OF, UH, THE LOWER END, UH, OF THE SPECTRUM.
AND WHAT WE'LL END UP DOING IS, UH, TAKING SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES OFF OF OUR OTHER TEAM AND ALLOW THEM TO PROCESS SOME OF THE EASIER WORK, UH, AND, UH, CREATE BANDWIDTH, UH, THROUGHOUT THE, THE, THE DEPARTMENT.
UH, OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT IS ALSO RIGHTSIZING BY ELIMINATING A PART-TIME SENIOR ACCOUNTANT POSITION AND RECLASSING A VERY SPECIALIZED ACCOUNTANT, UH, POSITION TO A MANAGEMENT ANALYST WHERE, UH, YOU GET A LITTLE BIT BROADER SUPPORT.
UH, AND THEN IN PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IN OUR WATER DIVISION, WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD A MANAGEMENT ANALYST, UH, TO, UH, HELP US WITH THE COMPLEXITY OF THAT PROGRAM.
UH, IN ROUND NUMBERS, WE'RE LOOKING TO GO FROM 144, UH, FULL-TIME POSITIONS, UH, IN THIS BUDGET TO 150, BUT WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO TAKE OUR, UH, PART-TIME POSITIONS DOWN FROM NINE TO SEVEN.
SO SOME OF THE, UH, KIND OF BALANCING IS OCCURRED AT THE PART-TIME, UH, LEVEL.
SO LOOKING AT OUR BUDGET, UH, JUST KIND OF BRIEFLY RUN THROUGH ULTIMATELY ALL PROGRAMS IN THE CITY.
UH, TOTAL REVENUE IS $144 MILLION.
THIS INCLUDES A VARIETY OF AREAS WHERE REVENUE COME OUR LARGEST, UH, OUR CHARGES FOR SERVICES, OUR UTILITY, UH, PROGRAM, UH, AND PROPERTY TAX REPRESENTING 21% OF THAT 144 MILLION, AND THEN SALES AND USE TAX, UH, BEING 7%, UM, MOVING TO A TABLE FOR REAL NUMBERS.
UH, I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT, UH, OUR PROPERTY TAX, UH, CONTINUES TO BE ROBUST IN THE CITY, BUT NOT A VERY BIG, UH, INCREASE PROPOSED FOR THIS YEAR.
UM, OUR SALES AND USE TAX, UH, SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO GO FROM $8.3 MILLION TO $10 MILLION, UH, IN THE NEXT YEAR, BASED ON OUR FORECAST, WHICH IS A SUBSTANTIAL, UH, INCREASE, UH, BASED ON EVERYONE SHOPPING, UH, AND, UH, US CAPTURING SALES TAX FROM, UH, ONLINE, UH, SALES.
UH, AND IF THE COUNCIL HAS ANYTHING YOU WANT ME TO DELVE IN, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN ALL OF THIS, UH, UH, PLEASE STOP ME.
BUT, UH, THE GOAL TONIGHT, UH, REALLY FOR THE PUBLIC IS REALLY TO GET A BRIEF UNDERSTANDING OF THE BUDGET, UH, AND I'LL VOLUNTEER OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT, UH, TO, UH, GIVE ANY LEVEL OF DETAIL IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR FEEL FREE TO CALL ME IN THE OFFICE.
AND I, I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO GO OVER OUR BUDGET.
THEY GOING TO HAVE A QUESTION ON TOT WITH THE NEW HOTEL COMING, COMING, UH, MOVING FORWARD IS THAT IS WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 300, ALMOST $400,000.
YEAH, THAT'S PARTIALLY JUST OUR CURRENT HOTELS DOING VERY WELL.
AND, UH, LOOKING AT THAT, UH, NEW HOTEL COMING ONLINE EARLY TWENTY, TWENTY THREE, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, IS THAT RIGHT, MIKE? AND ACTUALLY SEPTEMBER, 2022, THAT WILL BE BETTER THAN I THOUGHT.
PLUS THE INCREASE FROM 10% TO 12% THAT THE VOTERS, YES, THAT'S A LARGE PROPORTION, UH, OF THE INCREASE THERE.
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION REGARDING BLD WHERE'S THAT PUT IN THE EQUATION HERE? UH, BLD SHOWS UP, UH, WHICH IS OUR BIG LEAGUE DREAMS FACILITY, WHICH WE RECENTLY, UH, EXECUTED A NEW AGREEMENT IS IN USE OF MONEY AND PROPERTY.
UH, AND SO THAT'LL SHOW UP THERE, YOU SEE A MILLION DOLLAR, UH, INCREASE, UH, $400,000, UH, OR ACTUALLY $350,000 IS INCLUDED IN THIS BUDGET FOR THAT PR THAT AREA.
UH, SO THE LAST SLIDE, EVEN THOUGH THIS LOOKS VERY SIMILAR WAS WHERE OUR REVENUE, UH, WAS COMING, UH, THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
UH, THIS SLIDE REPRESENTS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THAT MONEY.
SO 144 MILLION IN THE PAST SLIDE, ONE, TWO IN THIS CASE WITH, UH, PUBLIC WORKS ACCOUNTING FOR 47% OF THOSE EXPENDITURES AS WHERE OUR UTILITY PROGRAM, UH, RESIDES.
AND, UH, THAT'S WHERE ALL OF THE WORK THAT'S DONE IN OUR PARKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S, IT MAKES GOOD SENSE THAT IT'S, UH, SUCH A LARGE, UH, SLICE OF THIS PARTICULAR PIE.
UH, LOOKING AT THE ACTUAL DETAILS, YOU CAN SEE OUR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS.
AND WHEN I MENTIONED THAT THE SOLID WASTE, UH, PROGRAM, UH, WAS BEING REMOVED FROM THE BUDGET, UH, THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL SEE WHY THERE'S SUCH A LARGE DECREASE, UH, IN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE OF ROUGHLY $5 MILLION.
UH, THAT'S ALSO WHERE WE, UH, PAY FOR OUR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
[01:15:01]
IF THE SHERIFF'S BUDGET GOES UP 600,000 AND WE PULL 6.2 MILLION OUT OF THE, UH, SOLID WASTE, THAT'S HOW YOU KIND OF GET TO THAT 5.6.SO, UH, LET'S SEE, BY CATEGORY, UH, UH, WE JUST LOOKING AT THE PROPORTION OF THAT $142,142 MILLION OF TOTAL EXPENDITURES SALARIES, ROUGHLY 19% OF THAT, AND THEN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE WHERE THERE'S CONTRACTS OR EXPENDITURES THROUGH THE VARIETY OF DEPARTMENTS.
I HAD 45%, UH, LET'S SEE SKIPPING PAST THIS, UM, ARE ONE OF THE AREAS THAT WE FOCUS ON THE MOST IS OUR GENERAL FUND REVENUES, BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE THE COUNCIL, UH, HAS THE MOST DISCRETION.
UH, UH, THESE ARE THE AREAS WHERE WE CAN, UH, MAKE DECISIONS AND ALLOCATE RESOURCES BASED ON PRIORITIES.
AND HERE LOOKING AT OUR GENERAL FUND REVENUE BY SOURCE, YOU CAN SEE THAT 34% OF THAT COMES, UH, THAT, THAT 51 MILLION OR 52 MILLION IS FROM PROPERTY TAXES, SALES, AND USE TAX AT 19%.
AND, UH, AS WAS POINTED OUT FROM OUR HOTELS ARE TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAXES, ROUGHLY A 3%, UH, LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS, YOU CAN SEE OUR PROPERTY TAX IS PROPOSED TO BE ABOUT, UH, $17 MILLION, UH, AND INCREASES IN SALES TAX.
AGAIN, UH, HERE ALLOCATED, UH, ABOUT $1.7 MILLION, UH, NOT MUCH ELSE NOTEWORTHY THERE, UH, LOOKING AT THE EXPENDITURES AND THIS, UH, ANYONE FOLLOWING ALONG, UH, $52 MILLION WORTH OF REVENUE, UH, $59 MILLION WORTH OF EXPENDITURES WHAT'S GOING ON.
UH, IT'S OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
WE HAVE SOME SUBSTANTIAL, UH, PROJECTS WHEREBY WE WILL BE TAPPING OUR RESERVES OR OUR FUND BALANCE TO, UH, PAY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE REVENUE COMING IN AND WHAT WE ANTICIPATE TO SPEND OVER THE YEAR, UH, LOOKING AT THAT, UH, GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES, UH, AT A DEPARTMENT LEVEL, UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT, UH, UH, A VARIETY OF OUR, UH, PROGRAMS, UH, WITH PUBLIC SAFETY ACCOUNTING FOR, UH, A LARGE SHARE, UH, BUT AGAIN, AN INCREDIBLE VALUE, UH, EXCUSE ME.
UH, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR, UH, SUBSIDIES IN LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICTS, UH, COMMUNITY SERVICES AND STREET SWEEPING ALREADY.
THIS IS THE DETAIL FROM THAT, UH, HIGHLIGHT SECTION.
UH, AND THEN THIS IS A GOOD SLIDE THAT SHOWS HOW OF THE $42 MILLION THAT WE HAVE IN RESERVES FOR THE PUBLIC.
THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO YOUR RAINY DAY FUND OR YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT.
UH, WE HAVE, UH, AN UNRESTRICTED, UH, FUND BALANCE, UH, WHICH IS WE COULD USE THAT FOR, UH, ANY GIVEN PURPOSE, UH, ANY GIVEN, UH, CITY PURPOSE, I SHOULD SAY.
UH, BUT WE ALSO HAVE MONEY SET ASIDE FOR OUR PENSION PROGRAM, THE 14% THERE.
UM, IT GIVES US FLEXIBILITY IN VERY LEAN TIMES TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS, UH, TO PAY FOR ANY, UH, UNFORESEEN, UH, PENSION INCREASES OR NORMAL PENSION COSTS.
UH, IF WE HAD TO BALANCE A BUDGET, UH, THAT WAY, AND THEN, UH, OUR GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE FLUCTUATES BASED ON THE EXPOSURE AND THE CLAIMS THAT WE HAVE IN A YEAR.
AND SO THE CITY HAS, UH, THE FORESIGHT TO PUT ASIDE A GOOD CHUNK OF, UH, MONEY, A LITTLE OVER A MILLION DOLLARS FOR OUR LIABILITY INSURANCE.
UM, IT IS VERY RARE FOR A CITY TO HAVE THE LEVEL OF, UH, RESERVES THAT WE HAVE.
IT SHOWS THE FORESIGHT, THE STEWARDSHIP THAT HAS, UH, BEEN THIS COUNCIL AND PREVIOUS COUNCILS, UH, WE'VE SQUIRRELED AWAY QUITE A BIT OF MONEY OVER THE YEARS.
AND, UH, WE WILL SHOW, UH, WHERE WE'RE PLANNING TO PUT SOME OF THAT SAVINGS TO WORK IN OUR CFP PROGRAM.
UH, THIS BREAKS DOWN OUR, UH, VARIOUS, UH, RESERVES, AS I POINTED OUT ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS IN LIABILITY INSURANCE, UH, $6 MILLION WORTH OF, UH, UH, COVERAGE FOR OUR, UH, POTENTIAL PENSION COSTS.
UH, AND THEN, UH, UH, $32 MILLION ULTIMATELY, UH, AT THE END OF THE BUDGET YEAR IN UNRESTRICTED, WHICH, UH, REFLECTS ROUGHLY $7 MILLION WORTH OF, UH, INVESTMENTS, UH, IN THE COMMUNITY.
UM, WE TYPICALLY, AS IN PREPARING OUR BUDGET, MAKE ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON WHAT WE ANTICIPATE COSTS WILL BE IN ANY GIVEN YEAR.
[01:20:01]
AND THEN WE PROJECT THAT OUT FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS WHERE WE KNOW CONTRACTS WILL INCREASE.WE MAKE A REASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT WE THINK REVENUE MIGHT, UH, DO, WHETHER IT'S SALES TAX OR PROPERTY TAX, UH, THIS IS ESSENTIALLY OUR CRYSTAL BALL AND OUR PLANNING TOOL.
UH, IT SHOWS WHERE, UH, ISSUES LIKE OUR LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING SUBSIDY, HOW IT COULD GROW, UH, IF WE DON'T MAKE CHANGES, UH, EITHER IN ADDITIONAL REVENUE OR CURTAILING EXPENDITURES.
UH, BUT, UH, IF YOU LOOK JUST AT THE BOTTOM LINE, UM, WITH OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE AT 42.7, ALL THINGS HA UH, HELD, UH, UH, EQUAL, UH, WE'LL SEE, UH, A DECLINING FUND BALANCE OVER THE NEXT SUCCESS OF YEARS, FIVE YEARS OUT TO 30 MILLION, BUT AGAIN, THAT ASSUMES, UH, CONSERVATIVELY ON HOW REVENUE WILL GROW.
AND IT, UH, DOES NOT INCLUDE, UH, LARGE DRAMATIC CHANGES IN OUR, UH, EXPENDITURES.
UH, BUT WE REVISE THIS EVERY YEAR AND IT'S JUST A GOOD WAY TO KIND OF SEE THE, UH, UH, WHAT THE, UH, IMPACTS, UH, HAPPEN CUMULATIVELY OVER TIME.
UM, JUST TO KIND OF BRIEFLY GO THROUGH SOME OF THE BIG, UH, MOVING PIECES IN OUR, UH, INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS.
LET'S SEE, I'VE GOT SOME NOTES HERE, EXCUSE ME.
UH, THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, THE, UH, LARGEST COMPONENT OF THAT, UH, INCREASE THIS YEAR WILL BE, UH, THE COST FOR THE ELECTION THAT'LL OCCUR IN NOVEMBER.
UH, THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE WE'VE ALREADY TOUCHED ON THAT $5 MILLION DECREASE IS A COMBINATION OF THE INCREASE IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE REMOVAL OF THE, UM, OF THE SOLID WASTE EXPENDITURES, OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
THIS IS BASICALLY REFLECTING, UH, THE ADDITIONAL, UH, PERSONNEL CHANGES THE VEHICLES THAT NEED TO GO WITH THOSE POSITIONS, UH, AND, UH, OTHER, UH, ASSOCIATED COSTS WITH JUST NORMAL PERSONNEL INCREASES.
UH, OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES EXPENDITURE.
THIS ONE'S WORTH PAUSING A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE OUR BUDGET, UH, FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS HAS REFLECTED THE IMPACTS OF COVID.
UH, OUR PROGRAMS, UH, WERE SCALED BACK DRAMATICALLY.
UH, EVEN THOUGH THE REC TEAM WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF A LOT REMOTELY AND STILL ENGAGE WITH OUR COMMUNITY.
UH, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS A RETURN TO A TYPICAL BUDGET FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES.
AND SO THAT'S WHY, UH, PRIMARILY YOU'RE SEEING THE SEVEN, UH, MILLION, UH, THE $1 MILLION INCREASE OR A $7.8 MILLION BUDGET TO COMPARE THAT TO THE SUBSIDY.
YOU KIND OF GET A SENSE THAT WE MAKE A $1.8 MILLION IN REVENUE, UH, BECAUSE THE SUBSIDY IS ONLY SIX ISH MILLION DOLLARS.
SO, UH, IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, UH, THE LARGE CHANGE YOU SEE IN OUR, UH, UH, EXPENDITURES IS THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT IS WHERE WE MAKE PAYMENTS FOR, UH, UH, OUR, UH, EIF PROGRAM AND OTHER PROGRAMS WHERE WE, UH, HAVE TO, UH, PAY OFF DEVELOPER DEBT.
AND THIS IS, UH, WE HAD A LOT OF ACTIVITY IN THE LAST, UH, UH, COUPLE OF YEARS AND, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE FINALLY MAKING A BIG DENT ON THOSE, UH, UH, PROGRAM AREAS.
I, AND OUR PUBLIC WORKS EXPENDITURES, UH, AS WE MENTIONED, OUR, UH, LNL OR OUR PARKS AREAS, UH, THERE'S WELL OVER $3 MILLION MORE WORTH OF ACTIVITY AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, AND THEN BRIEFLY RUNNING THROUGH OUR CIP OR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
UH, WE HAVE $16.3 MILLION PLANNED, UH, UH, IF YOU CAN'T READ THE SLIDE FROM WHERE YOU ARE, OUR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE WILL BE $9.2 MILLION OF THAT ACTIVITY, PUBLIC FACILITIES AT 1.4 MILLION, UH, WE'VE GOT $1.2 MILLION WORTH OF SEWER PROJECTS PLANNED OUR STORM DRAIN, UH, PROGRAM.
UH, WE'LL GET A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS INVESTMENT, UH, STREETS.
WE'RE LOOKING TO SPEND $4.1 MILLION ON OUR STREETS AND WATER AND RECYCLED WATER AT 238,000 FOR THE 16.3.
UM, I'M GOING TO SKIP THE SOURCE AND KIND OF GO STRAIGHT TO THE FUN PART, THE PRO PROJECTS, UM, IN OUR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE, UH, AREA.
UH, WE'RE LOOKING TO DO SOME REALLY INTERESTING, UH, ENHANCEMENTS AND KIND OF, UM, FIXES AS, AS OUR PARK INFRASTRUCTURE AGES.
UM, WE'RE LOOKING TO UPGRADE TO LED
[01:25:01]
LIGHTING IN A VARIETY OF PARKS.UH, WE'RE LOOKING TO DO GENERAL, UH, PARK REPAIR PROJECTS OF A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS, BUT THE LARGEST PROJECT THAT WE HAVE PLANNED THAT WILL ACTUALLY TAKE, UH, MORE THAN A YEAR TO ACCOMPLISH IS A COMPLETE REFRESH OF THE TURF AND MANY OF THE OTHER, UH, AMENITY AND AREAS AT OUR COMMUNITY PARK, UH, THAT, UH, FACILITY IS LOOKING TO, UH, WE'VE HAD, UM, ARTIFICIAL TURF, UH, FOR WHAT'S IT 14 YEARS, UH, JONATHAN, UH, WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THAT, UH, WE, UH, THAT TURF INVESTMENT WAS IT EXPECTED TO LAST FOR EIGHT YEARS, SO WE'VE DEFINITELY GOT OUR PLAY OUT OF THAT FIELD.
AND SO WE'RE LOOKING TO, UH, TO MAKE A BIG INVESTMENT THERE AS COUNCIL MEMBER JOE'S.
YEAH, NO, JUST, UH, JUST SO THE PUBLIC KNOWS, I GUESS WHAT'S KIND OF THE TIMEFRAME FOR THOSE PARK IMPROVEMENTS TO HAVE, UM, AS IT RELATES TO RIGHT NOW, WE'RE WORKING, UH, WITH THE ARCHITECT AS IT TO, UM, THE TIMELINE, UH, WHICH ACTUALLY HAS BEEN FIXED FOR A WHILE.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE GROUPS AND, UH, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING THE PARK OFFLINE NOVEMBER 7TH THROUGH THE 1ST OF FEBRUARY.
SO FOR THOSE GROUPS WHO ARE PRIMARY SEASON JUNIOR, ALL-AMERICAN FOOTBALL, AND AYSL SOCCER, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM TO FACILITATE A FIELD SPACE FOR THEM ELSEWHERE DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME.
SO THAT'S WHEN THE, UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT A FOUR FIELDS BEING, UM, REPLACED A HUNDRED PERCENT ARTIFICIAL.
SO THERE WON'T BE ANY MORE DIRT OUT THERE.
AND, UH, THAT WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THAT TIMEFRAME.
AND THEN HAS BEEN ALLUDED TO A YEAR LONG PROCESS IS THEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR DURING THAT SAME TIMEFRAME, WE WILL DO FIELDS FIVE AND FIELD SIX THERE, THE REST OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE THERE, UM, REFRESHING THE REST, THE BATHROOM, UM, LOOKING AT, UH, CHANGING OUT ALL OF THE GREEN SCREENING THAT YOU SEE ON THE FENCES.
UM, SOME, UM, AND OTHER THINGS, UH, UH, ENHANCED PARKING.
WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT ANOTHER 80 SPOTS BY THE STORAGE BUILDING, THAT'S THERE AS WELL.
AND SO THOSE WILL TAKE PLACE OVER TIME, UH, IN BETWEEN, UH, THEY WON'T BE HAPPY TO SEE IT HAPPENING CONCURRENTLY MORE THAN LIKELY, BUT, UH, WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF PICK AND CHOOSE SCOREBOARDS ALSO WILL BE, UH, PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS ACTUALLY, CAUSE THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE EASIEST THINGS TO GET ACCOMPLISHED THERE.
SO, UM, SOME GOOD THINGS WILL BE HAPPENING AND WILL BE VERY NOTICEABLE AND WE'RE A COMPLETE WITH THE PROJECT THAT'S FOR SURE.
SO BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER THEN JUST FOR THE PUBLIC'S AWARE.
HEY, BEN, I HAVE A QUESTION PERTAINING TO THE LED UPGRADES FOR THE WALKWAY LIGHTING.
NORMALLY WHEN WE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT ACTUALLY PAYS FOR ITSELF, RIGHT? I SUPPOSE, COST SAVINGS.
WE FIND NOT ONLY IS IT AN ENHANCEMENT IN, YOU KNOW, THE FUNCTIONALITY, IT ALSO COSTS LESS TO, UH, LIGHT WITH LED THEY'RE MUCH MORE EFFICIENT.
UM, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO DO SOME WORK AT OUR CITY YARD, UH, WITH, UH, REPAYMENT, UH, A SEWER PROJECT, UH, ON, UH, COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE.
AND, UH, AS WE POINTED OUT A LARGE INVESTMENT IN OUR STREETS, UH, UH, $1.8 MILLION FOR OUR, UH, CHINO HILLS PARKWAY, UH, PAVEMENT REHAB.
UH, WE HAVE A PROJECT ON MONTECITO DRIVE.
UH, SIERRA VISTA HAS A $400,000, UH, SIERRA VISTA THROUGH DEL NORTE.
AND THEN, UH, EVERY YEAR WE, UH, BASED ON NEED PUT, UH, ONE, 1.2, $5 MILLION INTO OUR STREETS.
AND SO, UH, THAT, UH, PROGRAM IS FULLY FUNDED AGAIN THIS YEAR.
AND WITH THAT, THAT'S THE ABBREVIATED VERSION.
I KNOW THAT I MET WITH ALL OF THE COUNCIL AND ALL OF YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB, AND WE DISCUSSED IT THOROUGHLY AT OUR WORKSHOP.
UH, BUT WE WOULD DEFINITELY OPEN UP IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS YOU'D LIKE FOR STAFF OR MYSELF TO ANSWER.
SO THIS IS ACTUALLY A PUBLIC HEARING.
I'M GOING TO, WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING FIRST, SEE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OUT THERE.
SO I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP NEW PUBLIC.
I DO NOT HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT AND CLOSE IT.
I'M GONNA BRING IT BACK TO THE DIOCESE.
I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS REGARDING TO PARMS PART OBLIGATION FOR RETIREMENT.
ARE WE HEADING TOWARDS THAT DIRECTION BY PUTTING THESE MONIES ASIDE? UH, WE, WE, WE DEFINITELY HAVE ADDITIONAL COVERAGE BEYOND, UM, UH, PENSION SYSTEMS ARE TYPICALLY, UH, SCORED AS A PERCENTAGE WE'RE IN THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SYSTEM, WHICH HAS A MUCH HIGHER, UH, INVESTMENT, UH, RESOURCES TO OBLIGATION, UH, PERCENTAGE THAN WE DO.
AND WE'VE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SET ASIDE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO, UH, CUSHION ANY ADDITIONAL, UM, UH, IMPACTS.
WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S ANY, UH, NEED OR OPPORTUNITIES
[01:30:01]
FOR US TO EVEN BETTER FUND THE PENSION PROGRAM.SO THE REASON I BRING THIS UP, I KNOW A LOT OF CITIES HAVE PERS AND THEY'RE UPSIDE DOWN WITH FURS AND THE WAY THAT WE'RE DOING BUSINESS WITH PARS, I'M REALLY HAPPY.
UM, OBVIOUSLY THAT NUMBER KEEPS ON GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER.
UM, DO WE HAVE ANY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? UH, YES.
UM, IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE THE REVENUE FOR OUR LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICTS, UH, WE WOULD NEED TO GO TO THE VOTERS IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT CHANGE.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE COUNCIL AND EVEN OUR COMMISSIONS HAVE CONSISTENTLY MADE COMMENT ON IS, UM, HOW DO WE, UH, COMMUNICATE TO THE PUBLIC THAT, THAT ADDITIONAL, UH, EXPENDITURE BASED ON THEIR PROPERTY IS WARRANTED? UH, WE THINK WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM AND WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CITY.
I THINK THE NEXT STEP WILL BE, UH, FOR US TO, UH, EDUCATE THE, THE CITY, UH, RESIDENTS ON HOW THAT MONEY IS SPENT, WHY IT IS, UH, NOT FULLY COVERING THE COSTS, ALL THE THINGS WE'VE DONE TO, UH, HOLD BACK EXPENDITURES, UH, PROGRAMS. I KNOW LIKE, UH, THE MAYOR AND OTHERS HAVE BROUGHT UP, UH, UM, MANY OF THE CONSERVATION EFFORTS WE'VE DONE IN ORDER TO, UH, REDUCE COSTS.
SO, UH, TO YOUR QUESTION, MAYOR, UH, WE NEED AN EDUCATION CAMPAIGN TO MAKE THE RESIDENTS AWARE SO THAT WE CAN BRING IT TO A FUTURE, UH, ELECTION CYCLE SO THAT THEY CAN VOTE ON THAT.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION UP HERE COULD HAVE A MOTION I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE ITEMS. SECOND, SECOND, ALL FOR VOTE, PLEASE.

[ SAFETY UPDATES - Police and Fire]
WONDERFUL FIRE CHIEF NEAR MARQUEZ, VICE MAYOR, ROGERS COUNCIL AND STAFF.UH, GOOD EVENING, UH, UNDER CURRENT AFFAIRS IN MAY, WE RESPONDED TO 141 MEDICAL INCIDENTS TRANSPORTED 62 PATIENTS TO THE HOSPITAL.
AND SINCE JULY 3RD, WE'VE RESPONDED TO OVER 5,000, UH, MEDICAL AIDS AND TRANSPORTED OVER 2000 TO THE HOSPITAL.
OUR CURRENT ASSISTANCE BY HIRE AGREEMENT, UH, IS, UH, GOOD UNTIL THE END OF JUNE.
UH, THIS PAST FRIDAY, THERE WAS AN COUNTY AMBULANCE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WORKSHOP AND AT THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER, UH, ON 3 85 NORTH ARROWHEAD IN SAN BERNARDINO, UH, THERE WILL BE A TWO-WEEK PUBLIC INPUT PERIOD TO FOLLOW ESSENTIALLY WHAT THAT IS, IS AS THE COUNTY, UH, UH, NEARS, UH, COMING TO A CONCLUSION ABOUT BUILDING AN RFP ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE OF AMBULANCE SERVICES LOOK LIKE, UH, TO THE COUNTY, UH, UH, YOUR, UH, FIRE DISTRICT CONTINUES TO, UH, BE POISED AND READY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY OPPORTUNITY, UH, RELATED TO THOSE SERVICES.
UH, WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT THE BROADER SYSTEM, UH, IN THE WAY OF HAVING THE PUBLIC SERVICES, UM, HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO PUT IN A BID FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY, BUT THE LONG-TERM GOAL IS ALWAYS FOR US HERE AT CHINO, IF GIVEN THAT OPPORTUNITY, UH, WE WANT TO BE POISED AND READY TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES IF IT MAKES, UM, UH, FIRST AND FOREMOST, UH, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY SENSE FOR OUR, FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
AND THEN, UH, BACK BEHIND THAT, WE'LL LOOK AT THE FINANCES OF THAT TO MAKE SURE IT MAKES SENSE ALL THE WAY AROUND, UH, UNDER RECRUITMENT.
UH, WE HAVE SEVEN FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDICS IN BACKGROUNDS, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE IN 15 YEARS, THIS WILL BRING US UP TO, UH, JUST ABOUT FULL STAFF, WHICH HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN IN 15 YEARS.
SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT SPECIALLY, UH, AS THE FIRE SEASONS CONTINUE TO GROW, UH, IT WILL, UH, LIKELY GIVE OUR, UH, STAFF, UH, SOME MUCH NEEDED RELIEF, UH, GOING INTO THIS NEXT FIRE SEASON.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
AND IT ALSO WILL PREPARE US AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO SOME TIME IN 24, HAVING OUR NEW STATION BUILT.
SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THE PARTNERSHIP ON THAT.
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, BRINGING THOSE FOLKS ON BOARD.
UH, WE ALSO ARE CONTINUING TO, UH, GO THROUGH OUR PROCESS TO HIRE A HR DIRECTOR, UH, THAT POSITION OPENED THE LAST MONDAY.
AND, UH, SO FAR TO DATE, WE HAVE 11, UH, WHAT APPEARS TO BE REALLY, REALLY GOOD CANDIDATES.
AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THAT POSITION FILLED.
UH, WE ALSO, UM, LIKE THE CITY ARE LOOKING AT NEW POSITIONS, WE HAVE TWO MECHANICS.
UH, SO, UH, LIKE YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE WE HAVE OUR OWN, UM, MECHANIC FACILITY THAT WE'VE HAD IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
WE DO USE A THIRD PARTY VENDOR THAT ESSENTIALLY WORKS OUT OF OUR SHOP.
UH, WE ARE AT A PLACE IN TIME WHERE WE'VE GROWN AND IF WE CAN'T THE APPARATUS TO THE CALL, THEN IT DOESN'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE.
SO WE'RE AT A PLACE THAT WE'RE VERY EXCITED THAT WE'LL BE BRINGING ON, UH, TWO, TWO MECHANICS, THAT'LL BE OUR EMPLOYEES AND ACTUALLY TO ABOUT A COST SAVINGS OF JUST UNDER A HUNDRED THOUSAND A YEAR.
SO IT'S, IT'S NOT ONLY ARE WE GETTING TO GOOD EMPLOYEES, WE'RE GETTING TO REALLY GOOD EMPLOYEES AT A FULLY BURDENED RATE AT A MUCH LESS COST FOR THE DISTRICT, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS GOING TO BE, UH, UH, INCREASED SERVICES FOR THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UH, UNDER EVENTS, UM, UH, BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF AND I RE UH, ATTENDED.
AND I SAW MANY OF YOU OUT THERE AT OUR ANNUAL, UH, CHINO VALLEY, UH, UH, FIRE, UH, FOUNDATION, HOT ROD AND BIKE SHOW.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT AND I WOULD AGREE EVENT, AND IT CONTINUES TO GROW EVERY YEAR AND WE'RE APPRECIATIVE OF THE SHOPS FOR THE PARTNERSHIP ON THAT.
AND I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE, UNLESS THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.
GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD, BEN, AS IT RELATES TO THE, UM, RFP COMMENT PERIOD FOR AMBULANCE, CAN WE BE ALSO POISED TO OFFER WHATEVER LETTER OF SUPPORT OR WHAT'S NEEDED TO SUPPORT THEM IF YOU COULD STAY IN TOUCH WITH THE CHIEF ON THAT? OKAY.
IN THAT SAME VEIN, UH, CHIEF AT THE, AT THE MEETING LAST WEEK, YOU MENTIONED WE WERE MISSING SOME EMPLOYEE RIGHT NOW THAT RETIRED, UH, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS WHO RETIRED AND HIS REPLACEMENT AND THEN ALSO THE NUMBERS ON CALLS AND THE RESPONSE TIME? THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY TO KNOW.
UH, SO, UH, SO WE JUST HAD OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, UH, STEVE HEIDI, UH, RETIRED AFTER, UH, UH, 18 YEARS WITH THE DISTRICT, A GREAT LOSS TO THE DISTRICT, OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU WENT OVER YOUR BUDGET TONIGHT, AND, AND AS, UH, ESPECIALLY IN YOUR CASE, MR. BEN, AS YOU ATTEND OUR MEANS, UH, THE DISTRICT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, UH, VERY FISCALLY SOUND TRANSPARENT AND RESPONSIVE.
SO, UH, IT'S A GREAT LOSS IN HIM AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND, UH, REALLY APPRECIATE HIS CONSERVATIVE APPROACH, WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
WHY, UH, HIS PARTICIPATION IN HELPING US BRING ON OUR NEW, UH, FINANCE DIRECTOR, HIS NAME IS MIKE MARK SHAKER, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO BRING HIM TO COUNCIL.
UH, AFTER WE INTRODUCE HIM AT OUR BOARD MEETING, UH, I BELIEVE, UH, HE'S GONNA FEEL STEVE'S ROLES, UH, IN A REALLY GREAT
[01:40:01]
WAY.SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING HIM, UH, COME UP BEHIND MR. UM, STEVE HEIDI.
SECOND QUESTION ABOUT THE RESPONSE TIMES, UH, RESPONSE TIMES THIS LAST MONTH, WE WERE AT EIGHT MINUTES AND 17 SECONDS.
SO THE COUNTY OBLIGATION FROM PRIVATE IS TO MEET THAT RESPONSE TIME AT 9 59 CLOCK.
WE WERE DOING IT WELL, WELL UNDER THAT, AND AGAIN, UM, THERE'S NO QUESTION IN MY MIND THAT SHEILA FIRE DISTRICT IS PROVIDES A SUPERIOR SERVICE.
AGAIN, WE TALK ABOUT THE CPR PROGRAM ALL THE TIME.
I MENTIONED THE NUMBER BECAUSE THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE IN THEIR THIRD PARTY, UM, UH, DATA, IT'S NOT OUR DATA THAT WE'RE CREATING IS THIRD-PARTY DATA.
THE REST OF THE NATION IS, UH, SURVIVABILITY OF SOMEONE POST-CARDIAC ARREST IS HOVERING AROUND 30%.
IF YOU HAVE THAT SAME INCIDENT HERE WITHIN OUR, OUR BOUNDARY, UH, YOU GOT A 62.5% CHANCE OF SURVIVING, AND IT'S ONLY GOING UP, WE'RE INSTITUTING SOME NEW METRICS AND WE'RE DOING SOME MORE PARTNERS.
AND AGAIN, THIS DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN BECAUSE THE FIRE DISTRICT, THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO START THAT PROCESS PRIOR TO US GETTING THERE.
IT TAKES THE FIRE DISTRICT MEMBERS BEING TRAINED.
IT TAKES THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO HAVE A WILLINGNESS TO NOT BE AFRAID TO GRAB AN AED OR TO START.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS START PUMPING ON A CHEST UNTIL WE GET THERE.
IT'S THOSE SIMPLE THINGS THAT WE COME TOGETHER.
AND AGAIN, IT'S A PHENOMENAL OUTCOME.
AND, UH, WE'RE AT 62.5, MY GOAL IS 70 OR 80%.
I THINK WE CAN GET THERE WHERE WE'RE PUTTING SOME NEW PARAMETERS IN PLACE.
AND SO THIS IS KEEP THIS THING MOVING, UH, WITH RESPECTS TO, UH, MR. MONTGOMERY'S ATTENDANCE AT THE MEETING IN SAN BERNARDINO.
UH, I DID MENTION THAT THERE'LL BE A TWO WEEK INPUT PERIOD.
THERE WILL BE A POWERPOINT COMING OUT WITH THE INFORMATION REGARDING THAT.
AND IF, UM, MR. SEGAN MANAGER DOES NOT RECEIVE THAT, AND I DO, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THAT GETS FORWARDED ON FOR EVERYBODY'S PURVIEW.
WELL, TO ECHO, UH, CYNTHIA'S UM, THOUGHTS, WE DEFINITELY THIS, I THINK EVERYBODY ON THIS COUNCIL WILL SUPPORT, UH, CHINO VALLEY FIRE TAKING OVER THAT AMBULANCE SERVICE BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY SAVING LIVES.
THAT'S WHY YOU INVESTED A MILLION DOLLARS TO BUY FOUR AMBULANCES SO THAT WE WOULD GET OUR, UH, RESIDENTS TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN THEY NEED TO GET THERE AND QUICKLY.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS THERE.
AND I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AND JUST, YEAH, FOR SURE.
JUST ONE QUICK OTHER ITEM YOU MENTIONED AES AND CYNTHIA HAD BROUGHT THIS UP TO ME, UM, AND BIGLY DREAMS. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE POTENTIALLY REACH OUT TO THEM WITH THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THERE.
AND I KNOW THERE'VE BEEN MEDICAL CALLS THERE RECENTLY, UH, TO PUT IT ON THE RADAR FOR, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE FIRE FOUNDATION OR THE DISTRICT ITSELF, OR IF IT'S US, BUT TO GET AN AED THERE, WE'RE, WE'RE MAKING THAT OUTREACH AND WE WILL BE SHARING, UH, THE EXPERTISE THAT THE FIRE DISTRICTS, UH, IS WILLING TO SHARE, UH, WITH TRAINING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SHE HAD A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR YOU.
FIRST OF ALL, IT WAS AT THE PRISON MEETING THIS MORNING.
THE WARDEN HAD NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU.
I GUESS THERE'S SOME ISSUES THERE THAT HE'S TRYING TO WORK OUT RIGHT NOW.
I'LL BE GETTING BACK TO YOUR REAL SOON.
UM, AND THEN ALSO REGARDING THE NEW STATION, CAN YOU GIVE ME SORT OF A TIMELINE WHEN THAT'S GOING TO BE UP AND RUNNING? UH, I CAN, UM, I DIDN'T BRING MY TIMELINE SHEET WITH ME, SO I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP AFTER THIS WITH SOME MORE DETAILED TIMELINES, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU A GENERAL, GENERAL APPROACH RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE IN, UH, WE'RE IN THE DESIGN PHASE.
UH, WE'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY CLOSELY WITH, UH, UH, MR. MONTGOMERY STAFF, UH, REGARDING THE SECRET PROCESS.
UM, WE'VE MADE A DETERMINATION THAT THE FIRE DISTRICT WOULD TAKE THE LEAD ON THAT AND, UM, WORK CLOSELY WITH THE CITY REGARDING THAT.
SO THE DESIGN PHASE SHOULD TAKE US SOMEWHERE TO PROBABLY THE END OF THE YEAR, SOMEWHERE.
I'M GUESSING BETWEEN DECEMBER AND FEBRUARY, JUST AS A ROUND NUMBER WHERE WE WILL START LOOKING AT ACTUALLY PUTTING A SHOVEL IN THE GROUND.
UH, OUR HOPE IS THAT, UM, MID 2024, SOMEWHERE IN THE SUMMERTIME EARLY FALL, UM, IF IT HAPPENS SOONER, GREAT, I THINK THE ONE THING THAT I CAN'T, UM, FORECAST AND IT MAKES IT A BIT OF A CHALLENGE ON, ON LOOKING FORWARD IS THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES.
UH, NO, MR. BENNETT, UH, UM, EXPLAIN THAT WE HAVE FOUR AMBULANCES, WE'VE PURCHASED FOUR, WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR THE FOURTH ONE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A CHASSIS.
SO WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT FOR EIGHT MONTHS.
SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT LUMBER'S LOOKING LIKE, STEEL, ALL THESE OTHER THINGS, BUT OUR HOPE IS TO PUT A SHOVEL IN THE GROUND SOMETIME AT THE END OF THIS YEAR, EARLY NEXT YEAR BY MAYBE BY FEBRUARY AND HAVE THAT THING ERECTED AND PEOPLE MOVING IN BY SEPTEMBER ISH OF 2024.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, PICK IT ON REAL FAST.
I KNOW RYAN AND MYSELF HAVE THE PLEASURE OF SERVING ON THE FIRE BOARD FOR MANY YEARS AND, UH, YOU KNOW, OUR HEARTS WITH YOU GUYS.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS I USED TO ALWAYS SAY WHEN I WAS OFF FIRE DIRECTOR AND A DEMONIC WOULD BE RIGHT NEXT TO ME, I WOULD ALWAYS BRAG ABOUT THE SERVICE THAT WE HAVE.
AND I ALWAYS WOULD SAY CADILLAC SERVICE, THEN I WOULD GET KICKED BY HIM.
SO I JUST WANT TO SAY WE HAVE ONE OF THE BEST FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN CALIFORNIA AND THE UNITED STATES.
[01:45:01]
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.BUT CHIEF OF CURTIS, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MARQUEZ, VICE MAYOR, ROGERS COUNCIL AND STAFF.
I HAVE TWO THINGS I'D LIKE TO GO OVER TONIGHT.
UM, THE FIRST THING IS, UH, LAST WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8TH, THAT CHINO HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT FACILITATED A MULTI-AGENCY CATALYTIC CONVERTER OPERATION.
OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL CONSISTED OF APPROXIMATELY 85 OFFICERS FROM LOCAL STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES.
WE CONDUCTED OVER 64 BUSINESS CHECKS AT AUTO REPAIR AND BODY SHOPS, WHICH RESULTED IN THE RECOVERY OF 112 STOLEN CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND NETTED 85 ARRESTS.
THE SECOND THING I'D LIKE TO COVER IS THE HIGH-PROFILE INCIDENT WE HAD, UM, ON THURSDAY, JUNE 9TH.
SO WHILE THAT'S ONGOING INVESTIGATION, I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO DISCUSS A SPECIFIC DETAILS OF THAT CASE.
I DO HAVE THE ACTUAL PRESS RELEASE, AND I'D LIKE TO READ THAT IF, IF I MAY PLEASE ON THURSDAY, JUNE 9TH AT ABOUT 7:30 PM.
DEPUTIES WERE DISPATCHED TO ALTERA PARK AND SPOKE TO A FEMALE VICTIM.
THE VICTIM TOLD DEPUTIES THAT A MALE SUSPECT LATER IDENTIFIED AS PETER MAGUIRE HAD HELD HER AGAINST HER WILL AT HIS RESIDENCE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WHILE BEING HELD AGAINST HER.
WILL MR. MAGUIRE TORTURED SEVERELY ASSAULTED AND RAPED THE VICTIM.
THE VICTIM WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE FROM MCGUIRE'S RESIDENCE MINUTES.
PRIOR TO SPEAKING WITH DEPUTIES AT ALTERA PARK, THE VICTIM HAD VISIBLE INJURIES CONSISTENT WITH THE ALLEGATIONS THAT WERE MADE.
THE VICTIM IDENTIFIED MR. MAGUIRE AND HIS RESIDENCE TO DEPUTIES ON FRIDAY, JUNE 10TH, A SEARCH WARRANT WAS SERVED AT MCGUIRE'S RESIDENCE AND EVIDENCE WAS RECOVERED TO SUPPORT THE ALLEGATIONS FROM THE VICTIM.
MR. MCGUIRE HAD FLED PRIOR TO THE SERVICE OF THE SEARCH WARRANT AND AN ARREST WARRANT WAS ISSUED FOR MR. MAGUIRE ON SATURDAY, JUNE 11TH THROUGH CONTINUED INVESTIGATIONS, DEPUTIES FROM THE CHINO HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE SAN BERNARDINO SHERIFF'S SPECIALIZED ENFORCEMENT DIVISION LEARNED MCGUIRE WAS AT A RESIDENCE IN THE CITY OF PLACENTIA DEPUTIES ATTEMPTED TO SERVE THE ARREST WARRANT FOR MCGUIRE, BUT HE BARRICADED HIMSELF INSIDE THE PLACENTIA RESIDENCE AT APPROXIMATELY EIGHT 30 HOURS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SWAT TEAM, MCGUIRE SURRENDERED, AND WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
HE WAS TRANSPORTED AND BOOKED INTO THE WEST VALLEY DETENTION CENTER UNDER MULTIPLE CHARGES TO INCLUDE KIDNAPPING, TORTURE, MAYHEM, AND RAPE.
HE IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD AT THE WEST VALLEY DETENTION CENTER WITHOUT BAIL.
I'D LIKE ALSO LIKE TO REASSURE THE PUBLIC THAT THIS WAS NOT A RANDOM KIDNAPPING OR, UM, UH, ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE, THE VICTIM WAS KNOWN TO THE SUSPECT AND THERE WAS NOT ANY ADDITIONAL DANGER TO ANYBODY ELSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, AND ONCE AGAIN, HE'S BEING HELD WITHOUT BAIL AT THIS TIME.

CAN YOU MOVE IT DOWN TO A COUNCIL REPORTS? LET ME START OFF.FIRST OF ALL, MEN'S PRISON PRISON POPULATION IS 29 83 INMATES.
AVERAGE AGE IS ABOUT 52 YEARS OLD.
THE MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY THAT WILL BE HAPPENING IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
WE'LL BE TAKING BIDS THIS AUGUST AND THE REVIEW OF ALL BEDS WILL BE IN OCTOBER WITH A START DATE ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER THE, UM, THE AWARDING OF THE CONTRACT.
SO HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR SOMETIME, UM, THEY'RE STARTING A NEW TABLET PROGRAM FOR EDUCATIONAL CLASSES, UM, AT THE PRISON FROM SHAPEY COLLEGE, THE TABLETS ARE ACTUALLY PAID BY THE INMATES AND MONITORED BY THE STAFF.
THE MAY CHARITIES AT THE PRISON HAVE DONATED WELL OVER $8,000 TO THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS AND ANOTHER ONE, 1.5, A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO CHINO VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND THE OTHER DAY I WAS IN SAN BERNARDINO FOR A MEETING FOR SBC TA, AND I RAN IT TO A REEF, THE CARI, ONE OF OUR OLD WARDENS.
HE TOLD ME TO MAKE SURE THAT I TOLD YOU GUYS ALL HI.
SO HI, FROM A REEF WOMAN'S PRESENT PRISON POPULATION IS ABOUT A THOUSAND INMATES.
THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY THERE THAT I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO SEE.
SHE IS NOW THE ASSOCIATE WARDEN IN BUSINESS SERVICES.
SO IT'S NICE TO SEE HER BACK, BACK HOME.
WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF PRISON GUARDS AT THE WOMAN'S PRESENCE.
WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE PUTTING ALL THE PRISONERS AND COMPILING THEM INTO UNITS.
UM, RIGHT NOW THERE'S ABOUT 300 UNITS THAT ARE OPEN, UH, BUT THE SHIP SHIP, THE GUARDS TO DIFFERENT PRISONS.
[01:50:01]
AND WHILE THE PRISON, THE GUARDS ARE GONE, THEY'RE REFURBISHING ABOUT 300 ROOMS THERE AND IT'S ALL BEING DONE BY THE PRISONERS.THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A COURSE THAT THEY CAN TAKE FOR CONSTRUCTION.
SO ALL THE WORK'S BEING DONE WITH PRISONERS.
SO THAT'S A REALLY GOOD THING.
NOW, MOVING ALONG TO CAL CITY'S LATINO CAUCUS, I WILL BE ATTENDING AMIR MID-YEAR RETREATS, UH, STARTING, UH, FRIDAY PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE.
WE ACTUALLY HAD A MEETING AND WE HAD AN UPDATE ON PROP 64.
WE INVITED DREW SMITH FROM THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST, HIS OFFICE, AND HE SPOKE ON TAXATION OF CANNABIS AND HOW THE MONIES FILTER INTO THE CITY COFFERS.
THERE'S A BIG PUSH FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, UM, MOVING CANNABIS AND TALL CITIES.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN HOLD OUR GROUND AND WE WON'T HAVE THAT HERE IN OUR CITY.
I HOPE WE HAVE TWO PROPOSITIONS THAT WE REVIEWED AND VOTED ON.
THE FIRST PROPOSITION WAS CALLED CAL SPORTS WAGERING REGULATION AND WAFFLE ENFORCEMENT ACT.
UM, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT LOCAL CITIES DID NOT LOSE ANY OF THEIR ABILITY TO MANAGE, UM, CASINOS IN THEIR, IN THEIR COMMUNITY OR SURROUNDING AREAS.
THE SECOND PROPOSITION WAS CALLED CAL LEGALIZED SPORTS BETTING AND REVENUE FOR HOMELESS PREVENTION FUND.
SO AGAIN, WE TOOK A POSITION ON THAT AS WE OPPOSED IT.
AND WE'RE SUBMITTING THIS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, UH, NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR A VOTE SBC TA GENERAL POLICY COMMITTEE, WE APPROVED AND PURCHASE A SALE AGREEMENT WITH F THAT'S CALLED FNA CALE LLC.
AND WHAT THIS ASHLEY IS DOING IS PROPERTIES THAT, UH, THAT HAD, UH, SOME IT'S CALLED THE PACE OBLIGATION, WHERE THOSE PROPERTIES, IF THEY'RE GOING INTO FORECLOSURE, WE WOULD LOSE MONEY.
SO THIS COMPANY IS GOING TO BASICALLY BE TAKING THESE PROPERTIES OUT OF FORECLOSURE AND BASICALLY WORK WITH THE SELLERS OR THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T GO INTO FORECLOSURE, BUT THE MONIES THAT ARE DUE THE COUNTY EVENTUALLY WE'LL GET BACK.
WE'RE UPDATE ON THE COMPUTE COMMUTER MOTORIST ASSISTANT CALL BOX PROGRAM.
THESE BOXES ARE LOCATED IN AREAS, IN RURAL AREAS WHERE THERE'S REALLY POOR SERVICE CELL SERVICE.
I 2022 POPULATION ESTIMATES, METRO VALLEY COMMITTEE ELECTED A CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR, DON ROSE SUPERVISORS.
NOW OUR CHAIR AND JOHN VAL DIVIA IS VICE CHAIR.
WE APPROVED A DYE RUN RESOLUTION NECESSITY FOR INTERSTATE TWO 15 UNIVERSITY PARKWAY PROJECT.
WE APPROVED THE SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY COORDINATED TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM, AND WE'LL BE GETTING SOME MONEY FOR THAT IN THE FUTURE WHERE ALL THE CITIES WILL BE.
ALL THE SIGNALS WILL BE TALKING TO EACH OTHER DIFFERENT CITIES, TRANSIT COMMITTEE FOR SBC TA WE'D LIKE TO THE NEW CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR.
I'M THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR CHAIRS, DIVA VILA FROM KAIPA.
UM, ALSO WE UPDATED AMENDMENTS TO THE TUNNEL TO ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
WE DID REVIEW AND APPROVE OMNI TRANS SPECIALIZED TRANSPORTATION SERVICE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 20 22, 20 23 BOARD OF DIRECTORS MET, AND WE HAD AN ELECTION.
WE HAVE OUR NEW PRESIDENT AS OUR BISHOP FROM, UH, UM, APPLE VALLEY AND VICE-PRESIDENT IS DON ROWE SUPERVISOR.
AND THEN WE APPROVE THE CEO AND GENERAL COUNSEL EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT.
WE APPROVE THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 20 22, 20 23.
A SPECIAL MEETING WAS HELD AND WE ACTUALLY TABLE DISCUSSION ON JUDY TEETH FOR A LATER DATE STATE, UH, 91 ADVISORY COMMITTEE REVIEW THE 2022 DRAFT ON STATE, ROUTE 91.
AND THIS INCLUDES THE FLYOVER LANE.
SO WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS, WE SHOULD HAVE THAT COMING FROM THE 91 TO THE 71.
UM, KAREN, KAREN SPIEGEL SUPERVISOR FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY TALKED ABOUT, UH, GROUNDBREAKING ON THE MURAL.
I KNOW CYNTHIA THAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU, SO THAT IS GOING TO BE BREAKING GROUND.
THEY SAY, I BELIEVE IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR AND WILL BE COMPLETED BY MARCH OF 2023.
UM, I BROUGHT UP AND I ALWAYS BRING THIS UP THE 71 FROM THE SAN BERNARDINO LAND GOING SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY LINE, GOING TO THE 91.
SO, AND MEYERS BASICALLY STATED TO ME THAT, UH, THIS WILL NOT BE IN THE NEXT 10 YEAR DELIVERY PLAN, BUT SHE'S HOPING TO HAVE THAT IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS OUT, FOLLOWING THE TEN-YEAR PLAN, UM, THERE IS A COALITION OF PEOPLE THEY WERE BRINGING TOGETHER FROM THE CITY OF ONTARIO, CHINO AND A CONSULTANT FROM DC.
AND WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING MORE ABOUT, UH, THE 71.
WE'RE HOPING THAT WE'LL HAVE SOME MOVEMENT ON THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE SCAG REGIONAL COUNCIL REVIEWED POLICY DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK FOR CONNECT SOUTHERN CAL 2024
[01:55:02]
ABSTAIN REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT.RENA, THERE WAS AN AUDIT AND ARENA REFORM THAT THAT'S MOVING FORWARD.
UH, THERE WAS AN AUDIT AND IT DID SHOW THAT THERE WAS MISTAKES, BUT THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING IS THAT THEY DIDN'T USE SCAG REGION AS A, THE SIX COUNTY REGION, UH, TO ACTUALLY DO AN AUDIT.
THEY USED THREE OF THE SMALLER COUNTIES IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
AND WHAT THEY FOUND OUT IS THAT THEY DIDN'T ONLY APPLY ON THE DENSITY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE, WHICH, UH, WASN'T HAPPY ABOUT.
AND I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT OUR SCAG REGION, WHICH THEY DIDN'T DO.
UM, OUT OF THE SCAG REGIONS, THERE'S ONLY THREE HOUSING ELEMENTS OR GENERAL PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY HCD IN THE SCAG REGENT, UM, OUT OF 191, TOTAL CITIES, WE'VE ONLY HAD 13 APPROVED SO FAR, AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR.
SO AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL 191 CITIES APPROVED.
IT'S GOING TO BE A ONE TIME TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE, NOTHING TO REPORT.
THAT WAS MY FIRST MEETINGS AS CHAIR, UH, METRO LINK.
WE APPROVED THE FUEL HEDGING CONSULTANT CONTRACT, AND WE UPDATED ON CAPITAL PROGRAM STATUS.
AND THOSE ARE MORE REPORTS MOVING ON TO WHO'S NEXT GO.
NEXT, WE'LL MAKE THESE COUPLE OF QUICK TRACER MONOS.
VERY QUICK MEETING WAS IT WAS ALL TELECONFERENCE.
AND THE ONLY COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT WE DISCUSSED WERE PAYMENT REGISTER AND TREASURES REPORT, WHICH IS REALLY NOT THAT BIG A DEAL.
THEN WE EXTENDED THE TELECONFERENCING, UH, PROVISION FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER MONTH.
SO REALLY THIS WAS A VERY QUICK TRACER MONOS MEETING.
AND, UH, LASTLY FOR ME, CHINO BASINS ASSAULT OR AUTHORITY OR CDA, WE HAD OUR BOARD MEETING AND, UH, A NUMBER OF CONTRACTS WERE APPROVED.
SO THERE WAS A SERIES OF CONTRACT APPROVALS FOR VARIOUS CHEMICAL AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
ALSO APPROVED FUNDING FOR REPAIR SERVICES ON A COUPLE OF THE, UH, OF EMERGENCIES THAT HAVE TAKEN IN PLACE AT CHINO AND CHINO TO, TO SALTER.
SO AGAIN, NUMEROUS CONTRACTS THAT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR.
UH, YES, WITH RESPECT TO THE CHINO VALLEY, INDEPENDENT FIRE DISTRICT, UH, AS MENTIONED BY THE CHIEF, UH, STEVE HEIDI WAS, UH, SENT ON HIS WAY WITH A TOTAL OF ABOUT 36 YEARS, UH, IN, IN THE FIELD.
AND, UH, HE WILL BE SORELY MISSED, BUT EVERYONE THAT SPOKE, UH, FROM THE DISTRICT COMPLIMENTED HIM ON PUTTING THE DISTRICT INTO THE FINANCIAL POSITION THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY IN, WHICH IS THEY HAVE, THEY ALSO APPROVED THEIR BUDGET THAT EVENING LAST WEEK.
AND LIKE THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS, IT HAS A SUBSTANTIAL, UH, RESERVE, WHICH PUTS THEM IN GOOD STEAD.
UH, SO TH TH THE DISTRICTS ARE IN GOOD HANDS, UH, TOP TO BOTTOM.
UH, ALSO A VERY WELL NEEDED NEW POSITION OF ASSISTANT TO THE PIRATE CHIEF IS GOING TO BE, UH, PUT OUT THERE AND, UH, THEY'RE GONNA BE LOOKING FOR A CANDIDATE TO HELP THE CHIEF SO THAT HE CAN SPEND HIS TIME RUNNING THE DEPARTMENT AND NOT GETTING CAUGHT UP IN ALL OF THE MINUTIA THAT, UH, UH, ONE CAN CLEARLY COMES WITH A POSITION OF LEADERSHIP.
AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHIEF FOR GIVING US THE SPECIFICS ON THE, UH, RESPONSE TIMES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
CAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE IN GREAT SHAPE, AS YOU HAD MENTIONED, UM, MR. MAYOR, WE'RE, WE'RE ABSOLUTELY OUR RESIDENTS, UH, HAVE IT AS SAFE AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN.
UH, THIS MORNING, PETER AND I HAD OUR LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY COMMITTEE MEETING MET WITH OUR STATE AND FEDERAL LOBBYISTS.
JUST KIND OF THE HIGHLIGHTS, UH, STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS A $49 BILLION BUDGET SURPLUS.
DON'T EXPECT TO GET YOUR TAX REFUNDS, SORRY.
IT SEEMS, UH, RIGHT NOW, JUST, I KNOW WITH THE PUMPS, UH, YOU KNOW, WITH GAS BEING AS IT IS THAT THE MAIN THING THAT THEY'RE ARGUING OVER RIGHT NOW IS WHETHER YOU'LL GET A $400 DEBIT CARD BACK OR POTENTIALLY, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR IF YOU'RE A VEHICLE OWNER OR POTENTIALLY EVERYBODY GETS, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS MEANS TESTED A $200 CHECK PER TAXPAYER.
UM, BUT ON, UH, ON, UH, ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, UH, WE ALSO HEARD, UM, REGARDING OUR FEDERAL EARMARKS, AS YOU MIGHT BE AWARE LAST YEAR, WE HAD PUT IN MONEY AND CONGRESSWOMAN KIM AND SENATORS, PADILLA AND FEINSTEIN, UH, WERE ABLE TO GET APPROVED A FUEL, A FUEL MITIGATION FUNDING.
SO THIS NEXT GO ROUND FOR OUR FEDERAL EARMARKS WERE, UH, WERE DUE.
AND THE, WE PUT IN, AGAIN FOR URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT AND FUEL MODIFICATION
[02:00:02]
AND OUR CONGRESSWOMAN AND TWO SENATORS BOTH APPROVED.SO THOSE WILL BE GOING IN POTENTIALLY.
SO IT'S NOT DONE UNTIL THE FEDS PASSED THE BUDGET, BUT AT LEAST HE MADE IT ONTO THE LIST.
AND THEN SENATOR PADILLA ALSO AGREED, UH, TO PUT FORWARD A REQUEST FOR TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS FOR A SOLAR, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE AT, AT CITY FACILITIES.
SO FINGERS CROSSED ON THAT AND $1 MILLION, UH, FOR LOW SERRANO'S INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT.
SO LET'S HOPE WE GET THAT AS WELL.
THE ONE, THE ONE ITEM THAT WE DID GET A NO ALL ACROSS THE BOARD WAS WE HAD PUT IN A REQUEST FOR MR. CANYON COMMUNITY BUILDING TO GET, UM, TO GET FUNDING, TO HELP, UH, REHAB IT.
NOPE, BUT HEY, WE'LL TAKE THREE OUT OF 40.
UM, HAVE YOU, I MEAN, OUR SUPERVISOR, I THINK HE SORT OF ALLUDED, POSSIBLY HANDING OUT CASH, LIKE IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO STOP, SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK OR TRY YOU TO PETER.
I'VE GO A LITTLE BIT OUT OF ORDER SINCE BRIAN WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THE ALLEGED COMMITTEE.
SO FOR, UM, LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY QUALITY POLICY, THERE WAS A LOT OF BILLS.
THEY TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF PRESENTATIONS, BUT SPECIFICALLY, UM, AB 1985, WHICH IS, UM, WORKING TO MAKE TWEAKS TO SB 1383, THE ORGANIC WASTE DIVERSION REGULATIONS.
SO, UM, ACTUALLY CAL CITY IS SPONSORING AB 1985, CO-SPONSORING IT? AND, UM, IT'S BASICALLY TO GRANT ADDITIONAL TWO YEAR PHASE TO IMPLEMENT THIS.
UM, SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE SENDING AN UPDATED CV, UPDATED SIMPLE LETTER OUT.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THAT ON EITHER YOUR AGENDA TO GET IT APPROVED AND LET HER OUT OF WE HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO.
AND THEN SCHOOL BOARD, UM, NOTHING REALLY NEW TO REPORT.
I JUST WANT TO REMIND, UM, THE COMMUNITY THAT THE NEXT SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION WILL NOT BE AT LARGE.
SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AN INFORMED VOTER AND MAKE SURE YOU GO ON THE WEBSITE AND, UM, FIND OUT WHO YOUR CURRENT, UH, TRUSTEE REPRESENTATIVE IS AND WHO YOU WILL BE POSSIBLY VOTING FOR.
UM, YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE KIND OF GOVERNANCE THAT'S GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT, OR YOU DON'T, IF YOU DON'T VOTE.
SO MAKE SURE YOU GO AND CHECK OUT WHO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE IS FOR SCHOOL BOARD, AND THEN FOR OMNI TRANS.
UM, THEY'RE GOING TO BE AT CONCERTS IN THE PARK, BUT THAT JUST REMINDED ME THAT I HOPE WE CAN GET ALL OF THE DIFFERENT AGENCIES THAT WE WORK FOR, WHETHER IT'S VECTOR CONTROL.
I KNOW FIRE AND POLICE ARE ALWAYS THERE.
SO THIS IS REALLY A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN FRONT OF ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS.
SO, UM, IF STAFF, IF YOU GUYS CAN THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE, YOU MIGHT BE DOING SOMETHING FOR WATER DANIEL, MAYBE THERE.
UM, SO ARMY TRANS WILL BE THERE.
AND FOR SCAG, IT WAS KIND OF INTERESTING.
IT WAS BASICALLY THE SAME, UM, PRESENTATIONS I SAW AT THE LEAGUE ENVIRONMENTAL.
SO I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO REPORT.
[ COUNCIL COMMENTS]
COMMENTS AND I'M GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY TO MY LEFT HERE, MR. BENNETT.UH, FIRST I WANT TO THANK, UH, FIREBOARD PRESIDENT MIKE KRIEGER FOR STICKING WITH US THIS EVENING AND ALSO, UH, IEU A PRESIDENT, STEVIE LEE.
THANK YOU GENTLEMEN, FOR PUTTING UP WITH ALL OF THIS, UH, AND GOING THROUGH BUDGETS, YOU KNOW, WHAT IT'S ALL AROUND.
SO WE, UH, WE HAVE TO DO THE NECESSARY, CORRECT.
UH, I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY, I KNOW WE'VE GOT ONE MORE MEETING BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY, BUT I KNOW IN SOME OF THE LOCAL BIG SHOPS, THEY'RE SELLING THESE SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS.
I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THERE ARE NO FIREWORKS AND CHINO HILLS, EVEN THE SAFE AND SANE.
AND ALSO AS WE GET CLOSE TO THE 4TH OF JULY, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WERE ALREADY STARTING TO HEAR FIREWORKS.
UH, IF YOU HAVE PETS, UH, THAT ARE SQUEAMISH ABOUT THE NOISES AND EVERYTHING, BE SURE THAT YOU KEEP THEM, UH, SAFE AND KEEP THEM UNDER CONTROL.
WE DO NOT WANT YOUR, UH, PETS GETTING SCARED AND, AND TAKING OFF ON IT.
IT'S, IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST ANOTHER ANGUISH THAT YOU DON'T NEED OF LOSING YOUR PET BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE REACTING THE FIREWORKS.
UH, THE WATERING RESTRICTIONS ARE NOW IN EFFECT.
UH, NICOLE POINTED THAT OUT, BE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, WHICH DAYS YOU CAN ONLY WATER.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO WATER BETWEEN 9:00 AM AND 6:00 PM.
AND THAT IF YOU'RE ON WATCHING THE TELEVISION, THE HOURS AND THE DAYS AND EVERYTHING THAT ARE BEING RESTRICTED IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, WHICH SEEMS TO BE IN BOTH THINGS THAT ARE ON THE TELEVISION SET, UH, ARE NOT THE SAME FOR CHINO HILLS.
SO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, WHAT DAYS YOU CAN OR CAN'T DO.
UH, WE DO HAVE THE NEW TRASH RECYCLING EFFECTIVE THIS COMING UP, UH, WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT.
UH, THREE OF US ATTENDED THE COMMUNITY MEETING FOR THAT LAST NIGHT.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO EDUCATE OURSELF.
THE LAW THAT HAS CHANGED THE NEW, UH, COMPOSTING
[02:05:01]
AND EVERYTHING ELSE ACTUALLY WENT INTO EFFECT IN JANUARY.IT'S GOING TO BE IN EFFECT AS WE GET THE, THE NEW CALVES.
IF ANYBODY HAS DRIVEN ALONG, UH, EUCALYPT THIS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, YOU SEE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BINS THAT ARE WAITING TO BE DELIVERED TO US.
THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME LOGISTICS INVOLVED, UH, GO ONLINE AND, AND ALSO LOOK AT THE FLYER THAT YOU RECEIVED IN YOUR MAILBOX.
IT'LL EXPLAIN NOT ONLY THE LOGISTICS, BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU GET THE RIGHT ITEMS INTO THE RIGHT BINS.
WE HAVE TO START DOING THIS FOR A LOT OF REASONS.
I'M NOT THE, UH, A TREE HUGGER BY, BY, BY NATURE, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO DO OUR PART TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TRY AND REDUCE GREENHOUSE GASES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
AND ALSO IT WAS BROUGHT OUT LAST NIGHT THAT IN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS, ALL OF THE WASTE MANAGEMENT TRUCKS ARE GOING TO BE BRAND NEW TRUCKS, AND THEY'RE GOING TO ALL BE POWERED BY CONTAINER NATURALIZED OR NATURAL GAS CNG.
SO THAT'S GOING TO HELP TO HELP THE AIR QUALITY WITHIN, UH, THE, AND FINALLY, UM, NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE JUNE 19TH COMING UP ON SUNDAY, BUT IT ALSO HAPPENS TO BE FATHER'S DAY.
SO THOSE OF YOU, UH, WHO ARE STILL FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE FATHERS AND GRANDFATHERS OUT THERE, BE SURE THAT YOU, UH, PUT OUT AN EXTRA DOSE OF LOVE.
UH, I HAVE, I'VE LOST BOTH OF BRINE AND, UH, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A TOUGH THING TO DEAL WITH.
UH, SO I'M JUST HOPING MY KIDS WILL REMEMBER, WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND THEY RATE HAPPY FATHER'S DAY AND HAPPY JUNETEENTH.
THEN THAT'S ALL OF MY COMMENTS.
I KEEP, I WANT TO CONGRATULATION.
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE OUR COUNTY SUPERVISOR, KURT HAGMAN FOR HIS SUCCESSFUL REELECTION AND CONGRATULATIONS, MAYOR MARQUEZ ON A WONDERFUL STATE OF THE CITY AND ALL THE STAFF THAT WE'RE INVOLVED IN.
ALSO CONGRATULATE SHERIFF DICUS FOR AN OVERWHELMING VICTORY.
IT WAS NICE TO HAVE HIM WIN AS FIRST TIME ON THE BALLOT.
AND THEN ALSO CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR DISTRICT ATTORNEY JASON ANDERSON FOR AN OVERWHELMING, WHEN IT'S NICE TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, IN THE SAME NIGHT WHEN YOU HAVE, UH, THE SAN FRANCISCO DA RECALLED FOR ALL OF HIS WACKY PRO CRIMINAL POLICIES, IT'S NICE TO HAVE A DISTRICT ATTORNEY LIKE JASON ANDERSON, WHO ACTUALLY PROSECUTES SCUMBAGS.
SO I APPRECIATE HIM MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER KNOW.
UM, BEN, I RECEIVED A CHECK FOR LIKE $6 FROM THE, FROM THE CITY WITH A NICE LETTER FROM KRISTA.
WOULD MIND MAYBE EXPANDING, YOU KNOW, MAYBE TELLING US WHAT THOSE REFUND CHECKS ARE.
I DIDN'T GET ONE THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING INTO MY CFD.
SO NOW IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, CAUSE I KNOW I'M HERE AND I STILL WAS KIND OF SHOCKED TO GET A $6 CHECK.
UM, SO WE TALKED ABOUT DURING THE BUDGET PRESENTATION THAT THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WORKING TO CLEAR, UH, SOME DEVELOPER DEBT, UH, AND UM, THROUGHOUT THE CITY, UH, THERE ARE TIMES WHERE A DEVELOPER MAY HAVE TO INSTALL A, UH, OR COVER THE FULL BURDEN OF A, OF A ITEM.
MY FINANCE DIRECTOR IS TEXTING ME.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE'S, UH, SO THIS WAS EXCESS BOND FUNDS WERE COLLECTED AND YOU GOT YOUR REFUND FOR THE, UH, EXCESS BOND FUNDS.
SO IT'S ACTUALLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I WAS JUST ABOUT TO DESCRIBE, I WAS GOING TO SAY, DON'T, DON'T SPEND IT ALL AT ONE PLACE.
JUST ONE OF THE PUBLIC TO KNOW, BECAUSE I KNOW, I KNOW I'M NOT USED TO RANDOM CHECKS COMING IN THE MAIL FROM THE CITIES.
BUT I THINK TO YOUR POINT, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE, UH, UH, MAYBE INCLUDE THAT IN A PIO REPORT OR SOMETHING SO THAT WE CAN INFORM THE COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC, UH, WHEN, UH, LARGE SCALE ACTIVITIES LIKE THIS IS COMING FORWARD.
OR JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S ON PEOPLE'S RADAR.
I KNOW HALF THE TIME I JUST START SHREDDING.
SO HEADS UP, UM, EH, UH, JUST AN ITEM IF WE WOULDN'T MIND MAYBE LOOKING AT IT.
I KNOW SOME OF OUR SURROUNDING CITIES HAVE LIKE AN ANNUAL GARAGE SALE DAY WHERE, WHERE, UM, UH, PERMIT FEES OR WAIVE.
I DON'T THINK WE CHARGE ANY MORE FOR IT, BUT JUST ONE THING, YOU KNOW, JUST MAYBE IF WE COULD LOOK AT DOING THAT, YOU KNOW, HERE IN CHINO HILLS FOR ONE DAY, WITH THE COST OF EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING UP NOW, AND TO ART'S POINT ABOUT RECYCLING, NOTHING'S BETTER RECYCLING THAN GIVING IT TO SOMEONE ELSE OR POTENTIALLY MAKING 25 CENTS OFF IT.
SO, UM, IF WE WOULDN'T MIND LOOKING AT THAT, AND THEN, UM, I WAS, I GOT AN EMAIL THAT'LL LOOK LIKE, YOU KNOW, SADLY THAT LIKE TWO WELL MONEY POLICE OFFICERS WERE KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY THIS EVENING.
SO KEEP THOSE FAMILIES AND YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
CAUSE THAT'S ROUGH FOR THAT CITY.
UM, JONATHAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT AGAIN, WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF SWIM INSTRUCTORS THIS YEAR.
[02:10:01]
WELL, WE ARE ACTUALLY OFTEN RUNNING IN THE WATER.UM, WE HAVE, WHAT WE HAVE OUR PROGRAM IS PROBABLY, WE TYPICALLY WILL HAVE ABOUT 1200 SWIMMERS OR KIDS THAT WE TEACH HOW TO SWIM.
I THINK WE'RE AT ABOUT 800 PROJECTED FOR THIS YEAR.
SO, UM, WE HAVE A STAFF IN PLACE AND, UH, WE'RE DOING OUR THING.
WE'RE RIGHT NOW OVER AT A YELLOW HIGH SCHOOL, WE'LL BE THERE FOR FOUR WEEKS PERIOD OF TIME.
AND THEN WE'LL BE MOVING OVER TO, UH, CHINO HILLS HIGH SCHOOL AFTER THAT.
WELL, BASED ON WHAT I HEARD EARLIER THIS EVENING, I THINK WE HAVE ANOTHER INSTRUCTOR IN PLACE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE I WAS GOING.
WELL, THAT'S WHY HE'S OVER THERE NOW.
UH, GREAT JOB, RAY AND TEAM ON THE STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS, IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE A BACK TO SOME NORMALCY, AGAIN, A GREAT VIDEO PRODUCED BY OUR TEAM, SOMEWHERE IN BACK HERE AND OUT FRONT HERE, IT WAS VERY WELL DONE AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE EVERYBODY BACK BACK NORMAL AGAIN, UM, A COUPLE THINGS I'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN AGENDIZE FOR OUR NEXT MEETING.
UH, SOME DISCUSSION WITH COUNCIL REGARDING THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM, UH, FUNDS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDED TO US FROM OUR NEW CONTRACT, WITH OUR, OUR TRAILER TRASH HAULER.
SO MAYBE WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW TO ALLOCATE THOSE MONIES, UH, FOR THE COMING YEAR, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE OURS TO DETERMINE WHERE, WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO.
SO MIGHT AS WELL KIND OF ESTABLISH THAT PRIOR TO THAT, THE CONTRACT KICKING IN.
SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, THE STAFF IS ACTUALLY FINALIZING THAT REPORT AND WE'LL BRING IT TO THE NEXT, OKAY.
WE HAVE A GREAT, UH, UH, PHOTOGRAPHY DISPLAY GOING ON RIGHT NOW AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER BY, UH, OUR HOMEGROWN BECKY WATER.
WE HAD A RECEPTION THE OTHER NIGHT FOR HER, HAD A GREAT TIME, GREAT ATTENDANCE, AND WE'VE HAD SOME DISPLAYS UP AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER RELATING TO SOME OF THE CONTESTS WE'VE DONE, BUT WE'RE KIND OF GETTING BACK TO SHOWING OFF SOME OF OUR RESIDENTS AND THEIR, AND THEIR SKILLS TALENTS.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY, THANK YOU FOR YOU BEING THERE WITH ME.
AND THEN, UH, THE YOUTH, UH, WEREN'T THESE, THE KIDS TODAY THAT CAME AND TALKED ABOUT, UH, THE YOUTH COUNCIL OR HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE, UM, THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE THE PEOPLE THAT I INTERVIEWED FOR THE PARKS AND RECS COMMISSION, UH, SWAT, AND ALL OF THEM HAD AN ISSUE OR WHAT, WHAT THEY WANTED TO SEE IN CHINO HILLS.
AND, UH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY STARTED MEETING AND THEY BROUGHT JENNIFER INTO THIS.
AND, UH, THEY'RE JUST AMAZING YOUNG PEOPLE.
SO HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE, WE CAN DO SOMETHING WITH THIS, AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.
SO LET ME PUT ON MY GLASSES SO I CAN READ K I WANT IT JORDAN MEMORY, AND IN HOPE, A JOURNEY TRIBUTE IN HONOR, OF THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED, AND THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES AT HOME AND ABROAD THEY'RE SACRIFICED AND SCREENED, PROTECT THE GOALS AND IDEAS THAT HAD MADE THIS COUNTRY.
