HOW YOU DOING, SIR? HI, I'M DOING GOOD.
THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THIS COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS DANIEL SUTTON GANG.
UM, I CAME HERE DRESSED IN MY CALIFORNIA BOY STATE OUTFIT.
UM, I JUST COMPLETED CALIFORNIA BOYS STATE, JUST LIKE TWO OR THREE DAYS AGO.
BASICALLY WE JUST GOT BACK ON SATURDAY.
UM, THAT EXPERIENCE I'M SO GLAD I WAS ABLE TO COME BACK FROM THAT, TO THIS PLACE BECAUSE DURING MY TIME THERE, I SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE THIS OUT DURING MY TIME THERE.
I WAS ABLE TO MEET SO MANY INCREDIBLE YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG LEADERS, AND THAT HAS REINVIGORATED, UM, MYSELF AND BROUGHT ME BACK HERE TO HELP, TO, UM, TRY TO GET BACK TO OUR MISSION OF TRYING TO ESTABLISH THIS YOUTH COUNCIL THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, UM, WITH MR. MAYOR AND, UM, AS WELL AS THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THIS COUNCIL, I UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE GROUP THAT WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON THIS DID HAVE A CHANCE TO MEET YOU GUYS, MEET YOU GUYS WHILE I WAS GONE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I JUST WANTED TO COME BACK HERE AND GET A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL ON BEHALF OF MY, UH, MY FELLOW, UM, YOUTH OVERALL IN CHINO HILLS, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH THAT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO IN ORDER TO PREPARE OUR FUTURE TO TAKE LEAD TOMORROW.
AND THERE'S SO LITTLE TIME, HONESTLY, I'M ALREADY 16.
I'M GOING TO BE 17 IN NOVEMBER AND THEN SOON I'LL BE GONE AND OFF TO COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY.
SO THAT'S WHY I FEEL LIKE IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT WE START TO GET A MOVE ON THIS.
WE NEED TO GET THAT COUNCIL ESTABLISHED AND LET OUR YOUTH START TAKING A ROLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, A MUCH BIGGER ROLE SO THAT WHEN SHE NO HILLS EVENTUALLY MOVES INTO THE FUTURE, WHICH I MEAN, I GUESS WE ARE MOVING INTO THE FUTURE.
WE MOVE IN A STEADY, I KNOW WELL MEASURED WAY.
AND BY PROVIDING OUR YOUTH WITH A PLATFORM TO MOVE FORWARDS WITH IS SOMETHING I FEEL IS VERY VALUABLE, NOT ONLY
[00:05:01]
TO OUR YOUTH, BUT TO ALL OF YOU GUYS WHO HAVE HELPED LAY THE FOUNDATION.WE, THE LAST THING WE WANT IS FOR OUR FUTURE TO BE LEFT TO PEOPLE THAT ARE COMPLETELY INEXPERIENCED AND HAVE TO BUILD THINGS FROM THE GROUND UP, YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY LAID US THAT FOUNDATION, BUT BY PROVIDING THIS ADDITIONAL HELP, THIS COUNSEL FROM WHICH OUR CURRENT YOUTH CAN START TO START TO MAKE THINGS MOVE, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO BUILD SOME THINGS OF THEIR OWN.
AND, AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THINGS THAT WE OURSELVES WERE ABLE TO WORK ON.
AND I FEEL THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO BE PREPARED FOR TOMORROW, WE HAVE TO START PRACTICING TODAY.
HEY, DANIELLE, HOW OLD ARE YOU? YOU SAID YOU WERE 16, SO YOU'RE NOT 18.
SO YOU CAN'T RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MICHAEL CHU.
UH, MY NAME IS MICHAEL CHU AND I'VE RECENTLY ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM WITH CALLING TO MY PLAN TO CONSTRUCT AN ADU ON MY MAIN PROPERTY.
AND I'M A JUNIOR HERE RESIDENTS.
AND RECENTLY I BEGAN TO PLANNING THE CONSTRUCTION OF, UH, ADU FOR MY PARENTS AND THE IN-LAWS.
THEY LIVE QUITE FAR AWAY AND WE HAVE WANTED TO LIVE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY FOR VERY LONG TIME, BUT COULDN'T FIND A HOME AFFORDABLE AND SUITABLE FOR MY LA A LARGE FAMILY.
SO, AND THE ADU SEEMED TO BE A PERFECT SOLUTION.
UH, I PERFORM SOME RESEARCH ON A CALIFORNIA STATE LAW ON ADU, AND BY THAT THEY ALLOWED YOU TO BE UP TO 1200 SQUARE FOOT, UH, BUT SORT OF CHERRY HILLS AUDIENCE ONLY PROBATE 1000 SQUARE FOOT.
UH, BUT I WAS SISTER CITY CHINO.
UH, KUSHA OUR FIRE DISTRICT AND SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS CHINO HILLS ALSO ADOPTED AS A STATE LAW OF 1200 SQUARE FOOT, UH, WHICH MAY BE QUIET, A LITTLE CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED.
I WAS WONDERING IF THE SORT OF CHINO HILL COULD MODIFY THIS CITY ORDINANCE TO THE STATE RECOMMENDATION OF 1200 SQUARE FOOT FOR ADU, OR IF I COULD APPLY FOR REVERENCE TO BUILD A 1200 SQUARE FOOT, UH, SO I CAN PROVIDE MY LOVED ONES, UH, MOST PATIENTS AND COMFORTABLE AREA TO LIVE IN.
UH, MICHAEL, JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE OF THE BROWN ACT, BUT I'M JUST GONNA LOOK OVER TO MY RIGHT HERE.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY, JOANNE? YES.
IF YOU CAN GET YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION, I WILL GIVE YOU A CALL TOMORROW TO, UH, THE CROW, UH, WHO SHOULD HE GIVE THE CONTACT INFORMATION TO JESSICA OVER HERE IN THE WINE? OKAY, BYE.
WE HAVE NO FURTHER SPEAKER CARDS.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO HAS NOT SUBMITTED A CARD WHO WISH TO SPEAK? THAT'LL DO IT FOR NOW.
[ CONFLICT OF INTEREST ANNOUNCEMENTS: Council Member abstentions shall be stated at this time for recordation on the appropriate item.]
ALONG.DO WE HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS? NOBODY'S HEARD ANYTHING.

There will be no separate discussion of these items unless, before the City Council votes on the motion to adopt, Members of the City Council or staff request the matter to be removed from the Consent Calendar for separate action.

CONSENT CALENDAR.OTHER THAN 15, WE'RE GOING TO PULL 15.
OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THAT.
UM, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS NOW? WE DID NOT.
DOES ANYBODY WISH TO PULL ANYTHING? COULD I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND MOTION TO APPROVE ADAMS? UH, FOUR THROUGH 16 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 15 NOW SECOND.
[15. Adopt budget amendment resolution for Fiscal Year 2021-22 increasing Water Utility Fund Budget by $13,000,000; award bid and contract to Garney Pacific, Inc., in amount of $12,545,000 for construction of 1,2,3 TCP Removal Treatment Plant; authorize City Manager to approve cumulative change orders up to ten percent ($1,254,500) of awarded contract amount; and authorize agreement with Butier Engineering, Inc., in amount not-to-exceed $1,161,380 for construction management and special inspection services for 1,2,3-TCP Removal Treatment Plant Project]
THAT WOULD BE JOANNE OR DANIEL.MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND STAFF.
THE ITEMS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS WE'RE ASKING FOR TWO DIFFERENT ACTIONS.
ONE IS TO AWARD A CONTRACT TO GARNEY PACIFIC THAT'S FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE 1, 2, 3 TCP WATER TREATMENT PLANT.
UM, AND THEN AWARDING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO BOUTIQUE ENGINEERING FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND SPECIAL INSPECTION SERVICES.
UM, ALSO FOR THE 1, 2, 3 TCP TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT.
THE REASON FOR THIS PROJECT IS WE HAVE ALL OF OUR WATER.
WELLS ARE CURRENTLY OFFLINE BECAUSE OF CONTAMINANTS.
UH, THE MAJORITY OF THEM WITH 1, 2, 3 TCP.
UM, WE WE'VE HAD THIS CONTAMINANT, OUR WATER, UM, AND RECENTLY, OR A FEW YEARS AGO, WE HAD TO TURN THEM ALL OFF BECAUSE OF NEW REGULATIONS FROM, UH, UH, THE WATER BOARD.
NOW WITH THIS CONSTRUCTION, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET ALL OF OUR WATERLOO WILDS BACK ONLINE AND BE ABLE TO RELY LESS ON IMPORTED WATER AND MORE ON OUR, UH, OUR OWN WATER THAT WE CAN PUMP OUT OF THE GROUND AND TREAT AND PUT IT BACK INTO OUR WATER SYSTEM.
UM, WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I HAVE ONE QUESTION REAL FAST REPORT.
AS FAR AS THE USAGE OF WATER, I THINK SAY IT'S GOING TO SAVE US BY 95% WATER USAGE,
[00:10:01]
AS FAR AS WATER THAT WE BUY FROM METROPOLITAN OR WHEREVER WE GET IT FROM.IF WE ACTUALLY START USING OUR OWN WATER, NOT 95%, UM, THERE'S A 95% ITEM AND ON A DIFFERENT AGENDA ITEM.
AND THAT WAS REGARDING THE, THE CURRENT WATER RESTRICTIONS.
UM, METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT WAS GOING TO, UM, WHAT WAS GIVEN 95% LESS WATER FROM THE STATE, WHICH THEN IN TURN, WE HAD TO, UH, GO FROM A STAGE TWO TO STAGE THREE BECAUSE OF LIMITED WATER SUPPLY.
UM, BUT THIS WILL GO A LONG WAY IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO RELY LESS ON IMPORTED WATER AND RELY MORE ON OUR OWN.
AND THAT'S MY POINT IS BASICALLY WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO USE OUR OWN WATER.
WE DID HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS.
HONORABLE MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND AS TO WHO I AM.
I AM A LOCAL WATER TREATMENT PROFESSIONAL LICENSED HERE IN THE CHINO BASIN FOR 40 YEARS.
UM, THAT'S BOUGHT ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN MANY STATES.
I SERVED AS THE EXPERT WITNESS FOR THE STATE OF MICHIGAN AND THE FLINT MATTER.
I'VE WORKED WITH OTHER, UH, STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS AROUND THE COUNTRY.
WATER TREATMENT IS IN MY BLOOD AND THIS IS MY BACKYARD.
I WAS HIRED BY SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TO HELP THEM WITH THE 1, 2, 3 TCP TREATMENT PLANT AT THE CHINO AIRPORT LOCATION.
THAT PROJECT BID, THAT PROJECT HAD SPECIFICATIONS SIMILAR TO THIS PROJECT AND WE DID NOT GET WHAT WE PAID FOR IT.
WE GOT SMALLER VESSELS AND WE GOT LOWER DENSITY MATERIAL.
YOU ARE SETTING YOURSELVES UP FOR THE EXACT SAME MISTAKE.
THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN COMPARE THE SUB BY TWO MINUTES.
MATERIAL IMPORTED FROM AUSTRALIA FROM THE TITANIUM, MINE WASTE TWO BY TWO MINUTES, MATERIAL MIND IN WEST VIRGINIA AND USED.
THE DIFFERENCE IN CAPACITY IS 42%.
THE MATH IS IN THE, IN THE PACKET.
I DON'T STAND HERE ALONE TONIGHT.
THE BITTER THAT WON THE JOB AT THE CHINO AIRPORT PUT IN A CONTEST LETTER, BRINGING TO YOUR ATTENTION, THE EXACT SAME COMPACITY QUESTION I BRING INTO COUNT THE 42% ISSUE.
WHAT WEIGHS MORE A POUND OF FEATHERS OR A POUND OF LEAD.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND ANOTHER THING THAT'S COME TO MY ATTENTION SINCE THIS PROJECT BID IS THAT YOU'RE DOING A LARGE SCALE FULL SCALE PILOT PROJECT TAKING HALF THE VESSELS WITH COCONUT CARBON, HALF THE VESSELS WITH SUB BY TWO MINUTES MATERIAL ALREADY ESTABLISHED THE FACT THAT THE SUB BY TWO MINUTES MATERIALS, 42% OF THE CAPACITY OF WHAT YOU DESERVE AND WHAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR THE COCONUT CARBON WILL NOT REMOVE PERFLUORINATED COMPOUNDS PFS.
LAST WEDNESDAY, THE U S EPA DROPPED THE STANDARD FOR PRE PERFLUORINATED COMPOUNDS IN DRINKING WATER FROM 70 PARTS PER TRILLION TO 0.00 FOR THE COCONUT CARBON WILL NOT REMOVE THE PFS.
YOU SHOULD NOT SUBJECT YOUR CONSUMERS TO THE FACT THAT THEY WILL BE IN FACT, GUINEA PIGS.
WHILE YOU DO A FULL-SCALE TEST BETWEEN COCONUT CARBON AND BY TWO MINUTES MATERIAL A LOT'S HAPPENED.
I'D LIKE TO RESERVE SOME TIME FOR SOME QUESTIONS, BUT MY REQUEST TO YOU TONIGHT IS TO RETURN THE BID PACKAGE, BID A PACKAGE THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY LIVE WITH, THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR THE REASON THAT I'M DOING THIS.
I'M IN DEPOSITIONS IN MANY, MANY STATES.
AND ONE OF THE FIRST QUESTIONS OPPOSING COUNSEL ASKS ME IS WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD? AND I GOTTA BE ABLE TO LOOK ACROSS THAT TABLE AND GIVE THEM AN HONEST ANSWER.
THAT'S WHY I STAND BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF ANYBODY? NO, I JUST HAVE YOU SAID BACKYARD, I'M JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY.
DO YOU LIVE IN CHINO HILLS? NO, I LIVE IN THE CITY OF UPLAND.
UM, BUT I'VE SERVED A SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY AND A WATER RESOURCE CAPACITY FOR 27 YEARS AT THE CHINO BASIN WATER MASTER ALONGSIDE, UH, THE HONORABLE VICE MAYOR, UH, PETER ROGERS.
THANK YOU REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
I JUST GOT UP JUST A QUICK AND HE, UM, ROBERT, UH, REFERRED TO A PILOT PROGRAM OR A PILOT COMPONENT TO THIS, IS IT TRULY A PILOT WITH THAT MATERIAL THAT WAS MENTIONED? NO, THIS ISN'T A PILOT PROJECT.
THIS IS A FULL-ON CONSTRUCTION.
[17. Provide direction for allocation of $40,000 annually from Waste Management for Community Organization Support Funds]
MOVING TO THE DISCUSSION CALENDAR ITEM NUMBER 17, PROVIDE DIRECTIONS FOR ALLOCATION OF 40,000 ANNUALLY FROM WESTERN WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION SUPPORT FUNDS.SO A PRESENTATION ON THIS I BELIEVE IS WHAT HILL OR CITY MANAGER ACTUALLY IT'LL BE EMAIL MARQUEZ.
[00:15:01]
RECALL THAT, UH, WE, UH, TOOK A SIMILAR ACTION IN, I BELIEVE IT WAS 2017, UH, LOOKING AT COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUNDING THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH OUR SOLID WASTE AGREEMENT.AT THAT TIME, OUR PROVIDER WAS, UH, REPUBLIC SERVICES AND IT WAS A $10,000 ALLOCATION.
AND THE COUNCIL GAVE STAFF GUIDANCE ON HOW THEY'D LIKE TO SEE THAT MONEY DISTRIBUTED AMONG MULTIPLE PROJECTS, UH, AND, UH, INTEREST AREAS IN THE CITY.
UH, OUR CURRENT CONTRACT, UH, PROVIDES $40,000 FOR ESSENTIALLY THE SAME PURPOSE.
IT IS THE CITY COUNCILS, UH, PREROGATIVE TO DIRECT THIS MONEY TO ANY NUMBER OF AREAS, UH, UH, WITHIN THE CITY'S PURVIEW.
UM, THEY, IN THE PAST, UH, THE, THE MONEY WAS ORIGINALLY, UH, ALLOCATED $5,000 TO THE COMMUNITY.
UH, CHINO HILLS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, $1,000 WAS GIVEN TO SUPPORT THE, UH, CONCERTS IN THE PARK PROGRAM.
AND I SHOULD CALL OUT THAT WHAT WE USE THAT MONEY FOR WAS TO PAY FOR BINS FOR TRASH AT THE, UH, AT THE EVENT, WE, UH, DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT IN OUR CURRENT CONTRACT.
THERE IS OTHER WAYS FOR US TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES, WHICH I'LL GET TO.
UM, WE ALSO HAD, UH, ALLOCATED FOR SPRING AND FALL CANYON, UH, CLEANUPS, UH, $1,000.
AGAIN, THAT'S, THAT'S COVERED IN THE CURRENT AGREEMENT.
AND THEN, UH, WE HAD SEVEN, UH, $500 ALLOCATED, UH, TO THE STATE OF THE CITY SUPPORT, UH, THAT, UH, BROUGHT OUR TOTAL TO $7,500, UH, OF THE $10,000 ALLOCATED.
AND THEN REPUBLIC SERVICES HAD THE DIRECTION, UH, OF, UH, ALLOCATING THE REMAINDER OF THE 2,500.
SO FOR THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION TONIGHT, WE'RE LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE ON HOW YOU MIGHT WANT TO ALLOCATE THIS, UH, FUNDING.
UM, I DO WANT TO CALL OUT FROM MY PHONE.
I'LL OPEN THAT WE, IN OUR EXISTING AGREEMENT, WE HAVE SERVICE ASSOCIATED WITH CITY FACILITIES.
UH, WE HAVE DIRECT SERVICE FOR CONCERTS IN THE PARK.
UH, WE HAVE A SHREDDING EVENT.
THAT'S PART OF THE AGREEMENT, COMPOST AND MULCH GIVEAWAY, UH, AND A SPECIAL EVENT, UH, AS SUCH AS THE CARBON CANYON, UH, EVENTS.
SO WE WOULD NOT NEED TO ALLOCATE DOLLARS TO THOSE PROGRAM AREAS BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY COVERED.
SO IT REALLY IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ANY LEVEL OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT.
UM, OTHER COMMUNITIES, UH, HAVE USED MONEY TO SUPPORT WHETHER IT'S, YOU KNOW, UH, BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OR YMCAS, OR TO DEDICATE THIS TO ANY NUMBER OF PROGRAMS IN THE CITY.
SO WE'RE REALLY JUST LOOKING TO SEE IF THE COUNCIL HAS DIRECTION SO THAT WE CAN START ALLOCATING THE MONEY AND MAKING THOSE CONTRIBUTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN SOME COMMENTS? SURE.
I BROUGHT THIS UP WITH THE LAST COUNTS, MAN, MEANING TO, TO SEE IF WE COULD KICKSTART THIS TYPE OF CONVERSATION BEFORE THE CONTRACT KICKS IN NEXT WEEK.
AND SO I WAS GOING TO MAYBE MAKE SOME SUGGESTIONS AND SEE WHAT THE COLLEAGUES THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.
AGAIN, THIS IS $40,000 NOW THAT WAS BUILT IN TO THE, UH, TO THE WASTE HOLLER CONTRACT.
UM, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AT THE TIME, UH, PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED 50% OF THOSE MONIES.
I WASN'T GOING TO SUGGEST THAT.
AND AGAIN, I'M JUST GOING TO THROW THINGS OUT AND THEN, AND THEN WHATEVER PEOPLE WANTED TO RESPOND TO, OR, OR TAKE WHATEVER MOAN BANTAM DEVELOPS, I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST MAYBE A QUARTER OF THAT SUMMER, $10,000 GOES TO THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND IT CAN BE USED FOR AT SPONSORSHIP LEVELS, AS WE DID WITH REPUBLIC PRIOR TO THAT, THEN I WAS ALSO GOING TO SUGGEST SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN KIND OF KICKED AROUND FOR YEARS.
SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES, CITIES DO A SIMILAR PROGRAM.
WE'VE NEVER CHOSEN TO DO THIS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE FUNDS FROM, FROM OUR, THROUGH OUR BUDGET.
UM, BUT WHAT THESE FUNDS AVAILABLE IN THEY'RE FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT FUNDS.
I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST MAYBE WE DO START AS COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUND THAT EACH COUNCIL MEMBER HAS ACCESS TO ACCESS TO X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS THAT THEY CAN DONATE TO CAUSES IN TOWN THAT THEY, THEY EITHER FEEL NEEDS SOME HELP OR THAT THEY'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT.
YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE A, LET IT BE FOUNDATION OR IT COULD BE CARING FOR THE HILLS OR IT COULD BE LOCAL LITERALLY.
SO IT SEEMS SIMILAR DOES YEAH.
AND OTHER COMMUNITIES DO THAT.
SO I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST A SUM OF MONEY PER COUNCIL MEMBER.
THEY CAN USE AT THEIR DISCRETION TO DONATE BACK INTO THE
[00:20:01]
COMMUNITY, UH, AT, AT, AT THEIR DISCRETION.I WAS GOING TO KICKSTART AND SAY, UM, 2,500 PER COUNCIL MEMBER, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE CAN GO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH THAT BECAUSE I DON'T, THAT DOESN'T BRING US TO 40,000 BY ANY MEANS.
AND THEN, BECAUSE SEVERAL THINGS THAT I THOUGHT OF IN MY LIST, I REALIZED, WELL, IF WE HAVE THIS FUND, I CAN DONATE A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO X VERSUS SUGGESTING GIVING IT TO THE VETERANS CLUB, LET'S SAY, OR IT'S A 55.
I MEAN, I CAN PERSONALLY DO THAT FROM A SUM OF MONEY THAT I W THAT WE MIGHT HAVE ACCESS TO.
SO THAT'S WHY I JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT THOUGHTS EVERYBODY HAD ON THIS YEAR.
SO I GOT A, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
SO RIGHT NOW WITH THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH THE TRASH COMPANY, WE GET $10,000, HALF OF THAT HAS GONE TO THE FOUNDATION.
SO YOU'RE PROPOSING 10,000, SO THAT'S STILL WOULD LEAVE ABOUT 30,000.
I DON'T KNOW, JUST FOR EASE OF MATH, KIND OF MY THOUGHTS.
UM, MAYBE GO WITH THE FOUNDATION FOR 15, EACH ONE OF US GO WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH 5,000 ALLOCATED THAT GETS US RIGHT TO $40,000.
SO YOU SAID 15 TO THE FOUNDATION, SO THAT'D BE 45,005,000 PER PERSON.
TH THAT WOULD BE MY THOUGHT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, JUST, I, THERE'S PLENTY OF NEED AMONG ALL THE DIFFERENT NON-PROFITS THROUGHOUT TOWN AND, AND, YOU KNOW, TO COVER THE, YOU KNOW, COVER COSTS FOR CITY FACILITIES, IF THERE EVERY NEEDED BY ONE OF THESE GROUPS TO, TO KEEP IT KIND OF INTERNAL.
BUT YEAH, I THINK THAT'S MY, I, MY EMOTION WOULD BE ORIGINALLY, I WAS GOING TO PUT CONSCIOUS IN THE PARK ON THE LIST UNTIL I REALIZED THAT THAT'S ALREADY BUILT INTO THE GIVING PROGRAM FOR OUR NEW WASTE HAULER.
UM, SO THOSE SERVICES WOULD ALREADY BE PROVIDED IF YOU WANT IT TO, IF, IF YOU WANT IT TO DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF CONCERTS IN THE PARK, SAY THE BANDS THAT'S ALREADY COVERED BY THE CITY BUDGET.
SO YEAH, IT WOULD JUST BE MOVING FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER.
UM, PETER, JUST FOR A POINT OF CLARIFICATION FOR PEOPLE THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH, HOW THE FOUNDATION IS LOOSELY TETHERED TO THE CITY.
SO THE REASON WHY OUR FOUNDATION IS GETTING SUCH A BIG CHUNK OF MONEY IS BECAUSE, UM, THE WAY THE BYLAWS ARE WRITTEN IS THAT THE MONEY THAT WE RAISE AND THEN DISTRIBUTE CAN ONLY BE ON CITY PROGRAMS, BRICK, AND MORTAR THINGS.
SO WE'RE NOT ARBITRARILY PICKING THIS FOUNDATION.
THAT'S, THAT'S SEPARATE, IT'S PART OF THE CITY, IT'S LOOSELY TETHERED.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE ALWAYS CHOSEN TO GIVE THAT BIG WE'RE FOUNDATION TO BECOME A GREAT MECHANISM FOR PEOPLE TO USE THIS PASS THROUGH.
AND I'LL USE THE EXAMPLE OF, UM, UH, WHEN, UH, MR. MCCOMB'S, THEY DID $20,000 DONATION.
IT WAS DIRECTLY PASSED WHERE THEY DONATED TO THE FOUNDATION, BUT IT WAS SPECIFIC REQUEST TO, TO HELP FUND THE PLAY PART OF THE PLAYGROUND AT THE NEW LOW SERRANO'S PARK.
UH, THE APPLE BOMBS DONATED 50,000 LAST YEAR WITH A SPECIFIC REQUEST FOR IT TO GO TO THE NEW INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND AT CROSSROADS PARK.
SO IT WAS SOME OF IT JUST BECOMES A PASS THROUGH.
WE WERE THE HOLDER OF IT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ONE SPECIFIC MISSION.
OUR MISSION IS TO BENEFIT EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
AND SO EVERYTHING WE DONATE, WE DONATE $325,000.
WHEN THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTER WAS BUILT TO BUY ALL THE ARTWORK AND ALL THE COMPUTERS AND ALL THE TABLES AND CHAIRS INSIDE LIBRARY, WE DID $70,000.
SO IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
WE DO THE KIDS SCHOLARSHIPS FOR DAY CAMPS, AND WE USED TO DO THE MILITARY BANNERS UNTIL THE CITY TOOK IT OVER RECENTLY.
AND THE ART LESSONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE HOSTED AND BRINGING, YOU KNOW, BRINGING THEATRICAL GROUPS AND STUFF.
I THINK THE FOUNDATION SIDE BENEFIT THE FOUNDATION DOES SO MUCH, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, IT CERTAINLY MONEY WORLD SPENT TO SUPPORT THEM.
IT GOES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
OR DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? BASICALLY, I WOULD ECHO WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING WITH RESPECT TO THE FACT THAT IT'S $40,000 WE'RE GOING TO GET PER YEAR, UH, THAT CAN PROVIDE SOME SEED MONEY.
UH, IT'S NOT COMING OUT OF THE CITY CONFERENCE.
UH, I THINK THE FACT THAT IT WOULD GIVE US AS INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE FLEXIBILITY TO ACTUALLY MAKE DONATIONS AND HELP OUT INDIVIDUAL.
WE COULD, IN THEORY, IF WE HAD $25,000, UH, WE COULD, YOU KNOW, GIVE 25 GROUPS WITHIN THE CITY.
UM, NOT ONES THAT MAYBE PERCOLATED ENOUGH TO THE TOP ON LISTS OF WANTS LIKE CBDG GRANT FUNDS, BUT AT LEAST WE COULD, WE WOULD HAVE THIS MONEY AVAILABLE.
I THINK THAT THE $5,000 PER COUNCIL MEMBER AND 15 TO THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION WOULD BE GREAT.
THE ONLY CAVEAT I WOULD MAKE SURE IS THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE TIMING OF THAT IS AND WHAT THE CRITERIA IS AS TO THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE AS INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MARK, OUR MEMBERS COULD ALLOCATE THAT $5,000 TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ALL ABOVE BOARD
[00:25:01]
AND DONE PROPERLY.SO THAT CERTAIN NONPROFITS, EXACTLY.
IF THEY'RE FIVE, THEY HAVE TO BE 5 0 1 C3 OR WHATEVER THE CRITERIA IS SO THAT WE'RE NOT GIVING OUT, UH, THIS, THIS MONEY, WHICH IS COMING TO THE CITY.
UM, IF IT'S NOT JUSTIFIED AND INAPPROPRIATE.
AND IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION, WELL, I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY THE FIRST COUPLE QUESTIONS.
UM, FIRST OF ALL, PER WHAT HE JUST SAID, ART TO GET BACK TO US, HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE? UH, I WOULD THINK WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO BRING IT BACK TO THE NEXT MEETING.
AND SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS, UH, WE'LL ONCE WE GET DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL, HOW YOU WOULD LIKE THE MONEY ALLOCATED, I THINK THE, THE DETAILS WE'LL NEED WILL BE FOR, UH, THE INDIVIDUAL, UH, SELF-DIRECTED, UH, DOLLARS.
AND SO WE WILL, UH, RESEARCH TO SEE WHAT PARAMETERS MIGHT GUIDE EACH, UH, OR RESTRICT TO A CERTAIN EXTENT.
AND THEN WE'LL ALSO COME UP WITH A PROCESS FOR YOU TO, UM, I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU'LL INFORM THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE OF WHO YOU WANT THAT MONEY TO GO TO AND WE'LL KEEP THE BOOKS FOR YOU.
SO WE'LL BRING THAT BACK WITH, WITH THE, UH, KIND OF THE SKELETON FILLED IN AT THE NEXT MEETING.
IDEALLY, IF NOT, IT'LL BE AT THE LATEST, THE AUGUST MEETING.
DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS? NO.
REG ONE ADDITIONAL THING, AND I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL SHOW OUR WILLINGNESS TO TRY AND HELP OUT THESE ORGANIZATIONS.
I WOULD SUGGEST TO ANY CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WE MAKE OUT OF THOSE DISCRETIONARY FUNDS THAT EACH ONE OF US WOULD HAVE, THAT WE HAVE A CERTIFICATE OR SOMETHING, AND AN ACTUAL FORM, UH, YOU KNOW, FORMAL DESIGNATION OF THE CHECK HERE IN CITY COUNCILS THAT THE PUBLIC WILL KNOW HOW WE'RE, WE'RE DISBURSING THESE FUNDS.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT AND HOPEFULLY GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE PUBLICITY AND HAVE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE, UM, MAKE OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THESE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE THESE DONATIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS UNLESS THEY'RE VERY WORTHY, UH, ORGANIZATION.
SO, YOU KNOW, ANY PRESS THEY CAN GET WOULD BE HELPFUL WITH THAT.
I THINK TO YOUR POINT, THERE ARE SO MANY HOOPS FOR CDBG THAT, YOU KNOW, THE AYI SO, OR, YOU KNOW, THE, YOU KNOW, THE CHAPARRAL ELEMENTARY PTO, ISN'T GOING TO SIT THERE AND HAVE THAT KIND OF OVERHEAD, BUT, YOU KNOW, 250 BUCKS YEAH.
PONY 500 BUCKS, THAT REALLY MAKES AN, MAKES AN EVENT FOR THEM.
AND THAT GOES A LONG WAYS FOR THEM.
SOMEBODY, THE ITEMS YOU'RE GONNA MOVE IT AND I'LL SECOND IT PLEASE.

PUBLIC HEARING APPROVED 2020 TO 2023 ACTION PLAN FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM AUTHORIZED CITY MANAGER MANAGER TAKES SECURED AGREEMENT.UM, ITEM 22, I'M GONNA OPEN UP, UH, GO AHEAD.
IT'S ALL YOURS HERE THIS EVENING FOR THE ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE CDBG ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR THE 2223 PROGRAM YEAR.
OUR ALLOCATION FOR THE UPCOMING PROGRAM YEAR IS 387,000, WHICH IS ABOUT 69,000 LESS THAN PRIOR YEAR.
THERE WAS ALSO AN ADDITIONAL, UH, 13,000 THAT WAS UNSPENT.
FROM PRIOR YEARS, WE ALLOCATED THE FUNDS BASED ON THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE PERCENTAGE WITH 20% GOING TO ADMINISTRATION, WHICH INCLUDES AN 18,200 ALLOCATION TO INLAND FAIR HOUSING FOR FAIR HOUSING SERVICES.
UM, THE HUD MANDATE TO AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHER FAIR HOUSING, 15% WAS ALLOCATED TO PUBLIC SERVICE GROUPS, WHICH IS COUNCIL MAY RECALL.
WE CAME BACK LAST COUNCIL MEETING TO DECREASE THE ELDER PATIENTS, WHICH YOU HAVE ARE REALLY ORIGINALLY ALLOCATED AT THE FEBRUARY MEETING DUE TO OUR DECREASE IN ALLOCATION.
AND AS WE DO EVERY YEAR, A PORTION OF THE REMAINING FUNDS WERE ALLOCATED TO THE LOS SERRANO INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.
THE REMAINING FUNDS WERE ALLOCATED TO THE HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
AND THIS YEAR STAFF HAS PROPOSED TO INCREASE THE GRANT AMOUNT FROM 5,000 TO 7,500 DUE TO THE INCREASE IN MATERIALS AND LABOR SUPPLIES AND LABOR COSTS.
OUR ANNUAL GOAL IS TO ASSIST AT LEAST 10 HOUSEHOLDS WITH THE HOME REPAIR WITH HOME REPAIRS THROUGH THE PROGRAM.
THAT'S ALL I HAD AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
OH, WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS HERE? MY RIGHT TO MY LEFT.
UM, AND I TALKED TO THE CITY MANAGER ABOUT THIS I'M OKAY.
WITH THE AMOUNTS OF MONIES THAT WE'RE GIVING TEACH, UH, A NONPROFIT, WE JUST A LITTLE CONFUSED.
I LOOKED AT OUR REPORT BACK ON FEBRUARY 22ND WITH THE RECOMMENDATION AND I BELIEVE THAT WOULD, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR THE INLAND FAIR HOUSING, THE MEDIATION BOARD THAT WAS INITIALLY A $12,000 IS WHAT THE REQUEST WAS.
THEN IF I LOOK AT JUNE 14TH, I THINK THE REQUEST WAS 7,000 OR WE ADJUSTED IT DOWN TO 7,000.
SO THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY 6,000, BUT WE'RE INCLUDING ADMINISTRATION FEES.
SO, UM, WE ARE MANDATED BY HUD TO AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHER FAIR HOUSING, WHICH IS TO EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO LIVE WHERE THEY WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT FEAR OF DISCRIMINATION.
AND SO THAT IS A MANDATE BY HUD, WHICH INLAND FAIR HOUSING HELPS US, UH, FULFILL.
AND SO, BECAUSE IT IS A MANDATE, WE CAN USE ADMINISTRATION FUNDS FOR THAT PORTION OF THE SERVICE.
AND INLAND FAIR HOUSING IS THE PROVIDER IN OUR AREA.
SO THAT'S WHY THEY GET THE FUNDING FOR IT.
[00:35:01]
FUNDS THAT THE COUNCIL ALLOCATED AT THE FEBRUARY MEETING AND THEN, UM, DECREASE AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING WAS FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE PORTION OF THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE, WHICH IS LANDLORD AND TENANT MEDIATION SERVICES.SO IT'S TWO DISTINCT, UM, SERVICES.
OH, IF THAT'S THE CASE, IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE TWO DIFFERENT NUMBERS? SO IN OTHER WORDS, THE GRANT WOULD BE, SAY 6,000 AND THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE A DIFFERENT FIGURE BECAUSE IT, TO ME, WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GIVING THEM 24,000, WHICH WE ARE, BUT IT'S MISLEADING FOR OTHER GROUPS THAT ARE NON-PROFIT, YOU KNOW, THEY WANT IT, WE'LL SAY 10,000 AND WE'RE GIVING THEM SIX.
BUT THEN WE SAID WE COMMITTED TO 6,000 FOR THE MEDIATION BOARD, BUT WE'RE GIVING THEM 24.
SO ALL I'M SAYING IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING.
YES, DEFINITELY FOR NEXT YEAR, MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION.
YOU SAID HE'S GIVING SIMILAR AMOUNTS TO ILLINOIS FAIR HOUSING.
IS THAT HOW THIS WORKS AS YOU TALKED ABOUT MANDATES, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SERVICE PROVIDER IN OUR AREA.
SO A LOT OF THE, UM, THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT GET FUNDING.
AND, UM, JUST TO CLARIFY, THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN AN INCREASE IN THE ADMINISTRATION PORTION IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.
SO IT'S BEEN CONSISTENT THAT AMOUNT.
IS THERE A SET MINIMUM THAT WE HAVE TO GIVE TO COVER ADMINISTRATION OR IS THIS JUST UP TO US TO CHOOSE THAT AMOUNT? UM, SO THE WAY I ALLOCATE IT IS I COVER OUR PORTION OF THE COST SINCE I'M ONLY ALLOWED TO ALLOCATE 20% TO ADMINISTRATION.
SO THAT INCLUDES PERSONNEL AND THEN ALL THE, THE LEGAL ADVERTISING, ALL OF THE REPORTS.
AND THEN WHAT DOES THAT LEFTOVER? I ALLOCATE TO INLAND FAIR HOUSING.
YEAH, BECAUSE I THINK TO RAY'S POINT, I THINK NEXT YEAR I MIGHT GO WITH DECREASING THAT AMOUNT, UM, FOR THE PROGRAMMATIC STUFF, IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, IF WE'RE ESSENTIALLY FORCED TO COVER WHAT HUD, YOU KNOW, A SERVICE THAT HUD IS MANDATING THAT WE DO BECAUSE YEAH.
YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT, IT'S 24,000 NOW WHEN WE THOUGHT IT WAS A DIFFERENT AMOUNT.
I DON'T THINK WE REALLY QUITE UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE WAS A FEDERALLY MANDATED SERVICE THAT WE NOW PAY FOR THROUGH A THIRD PARTY VENDOR.
AND THAT DID NOT COME OUT OF THE ORIGINAL EQUATION OF KEEPING THE COMMUNITY FUNDS OUT THAT THAT'S RIGHT.
PART, HAVE A SEPARATE POT OF MONEY CATEGORY.
AND, UM, I WOULD ADVISE THAT WE WOULDN'T ALLOCATE LESS THAN 5,000 TO ANY PUBLIC SERVICE ORGANIZATION.
I'M AT THIS MOMENT, OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING, WHENEVER YOU PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS, WE DO NOT, I'M GOING TO CLOSE IT AND I'M GOING TO BRING IT BACK TO US AND I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IT.
HAVEN'T COME TO CLOSING COMMENT.

UH, THE CHIEF MET ME FOR THE FIRST PHASE OF THAT TOUR.
UH, IT WAS FANTASTIC, ACTUALLY GOT TO GO IN AND MEET THE FIREFIGHTERS THAT, WHICH IT'S NOT A FIRST TIME, OBVIOUSLY FOR US, BUT, UH, ACTUALLY GOT THE TOUR EACH ONE OF THE STATIONS.

SO APPARENTLY A CALIFORNIA COURT RULED THAT IN ORDER FOR BEES TO BE PROTECTED UNDER THE STATE ENVIRONMENT, UH, THE STATE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT, THE COURT RULED THAT BEES CAN NOW BE CONSIDERED FISH BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW FOR SOME, SOME REASON.
AND THE REASON WHY IT WAS, UH, IT WAS BROUGHT UP AT THE MOSQUITO AND VECTOR CONTROL BOARD IS THAT IF THERE ARE ONLY A CERTAIN, A FEW SPECIES SPECIES OF BEES THAT MIGHT BE NAMED AN ENDANGERED SPECIES, AND IF THAT HAPPENS, THEN THE MOSQUITO AND VECTOR CONTROL BOARD WILL NO LONGER BE KILLING BEES OR TAKING CARE OF THE, UH, BEE SWARMS THAT, UH, COME OUT.

I HAVE NOTHING FOR SCHOOL BOARD.

AND, UH, APPARENTLY WE WENT WITHOUT INCIDENT AND THAT'S A GOOD THING BECAUSE, UH, EVERYBODY VOTE AND EVERYBODY'S OPINION COUNTS, AND WE JUST NEED TO EXPRESS THOSE, UH, PEACEFULLY.
UH, I WANTED TO ALSO MENTION THE FACT THAT, UH, THERE WAS A TRAIN CRASH, UH, VERY, VERY SERIOUS ONE.

UM, RECENTLY THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS ANNOUNCED THEIR, UM, CLASSIFIED SCHOOL EMPLOYEES OF THE YEAR.
SO IN THE ENTIRE COUNTY, THEY ONLY AWARD SIX AND I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE, UM, SOMEONE THAT ONE STACY GILLESPIE IS THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS SECRETARY AT RUBIN AS A YELLOW HIGH SCHOOL.
SO OUT OF THE ENTIRE COUNTY, UM, SHE WAS ONE OF THE SIX.
SO I WILL GIVE THIS TO YOU CHERYL, SO WE CAN GET A CERTIFICATE AND WE'LL WALK IT OVER TO THE SCHOOL.
I GOT A FEW THINGS I'D LIKE TO SAY.
FIRST OF ALL, I MET WITH GENIE OUT OF COT.
SHE LIVES IN OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY AND DAVE WILSON.
UH, THEY RAISED STORE, THEY HAVE A HORSE FARM OR RANCHES IN OUR CITY, SO THEY HAD SOME ISSUES, CONCERNS.
WE MET WITH THEM, TALKED WITH THEM.
AND WHEN I WAS THERE, THEY WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR CITY AND JEANNIE REALLY DOES KNOW ABOUT, ABOUT THE CITY.
SO SHE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE ACCOLADES ARE FOR THE CITY AND NICOLE, YOU WEREN'T THERE.
WE ASKED VALERIE TO, TO JOIN US IN THE MEETING.
AND SO VALERIE HAS ACTUALLY DID SOME RESEARCH AND STARTED SHOOTING OUT THINGS SUCH AS, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD HAVE PRIDE IN WHAT WE DO OR CITY.
AND SHE WAS, UH, SHE INITIATED THAT.
SO TELL VALERIE, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
UM, I HAD A PHONE CALL FROM A GENTLEMAN THAT LIVES IN LOS RONALDS BOUGHT OFF LUGO, AND HE HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT SOME WALLS THAT WERE BEING BUILT, UH, IN LOS RHINOS.
AND I TALKED TO DANIEL ABOUT IT.
I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
IT CAME OUT WHERE IT WAS THE RETAINING WALL AND HE WANTED TO KNOW WHY IT WAS, IF YOU CAN MAYBE TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TYPE OF WALL AND PUT IT PUT IN THERE.
UH, THE RESIDENT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT SOME OF THE WALLS THAT WERE BEING BUILT OUT ON LOS RHINOS SPECIFICALLY ON LUGO AVENUE.
UH, THE REASON FOR THESE WALLS THAT THERE THEY ARE RETAINING WALLS IS WHERE WE HAD SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ELEVATION.
UH, ONCE WE STARTED BUILDING THE SIDEWALK, SO WE HAD TO BUILD SOME RETAINING WALLS AND, UM, FROM A STRUCTURAL STANDPOINT, UM, WE, WE OPTED TO GO WITH THE CONCRETE RETAINING WALLS INSTEAD OF, UM, JUST CMU BLOCK WALL.
UM, IT'LL LAST LONGER IN THE FUTURE.
WE CAN ALWAYS LOOK AT TRYING TO ENHANCE HIM A MASTIC LEAF IF THAT'S WHERE THE COUNCIL CHOOSES TO.
UM, BUT FROM A STRUCTURAL STANDPOINT, WE WERE BETTER OFF GOING WITH THE, WITH THE CONCRETE WALL AND ASHLEY, THE CONCRETE WALLS BE A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPENSIVE AS FAR AS MY EXPERIENCE PUTTING UP A RETAINING WALL WITH CENTER BLOCK OR CONCRETE.
AND THEN ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING TOO, IS THAT YOU ACTUALLY DID MEET WITH HIM AT THE PROPERTY SITE.
ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES, UM, GOT TO TALK TO HIM.
UH, HE REACHED OUT ON SUNDAY AND STAFF MET WITH HIM MONDAY MORNING.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU PALM TREES ALONG CARBON CANYON ROAD? WE ALL GET CALLS ON THAT.
UH, CAN YOU GIVE US A STATUS OF WHERE WE ARE? SURE.
UH, JUST TO GO TO THE, UH, THE PUBLIC AND UPDATE, WE DID INJECT THE PALM TREES.
IT'S BEEN ABOUT FOUR MONTHS NOW.
UH, THE, THE IDEA WAS TO INJECT THE PALM TREES.
THEY WOULD WILT AND DIE ON THEIR OWN.
UM, AND IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT NINE MONTHS TO A, UH, TO A YEAR FOR THEM TO COMPLETELY WILT.
UH, WE DO CURRENTLY WE ARE WORKING WITH, UH, THE CALIFORNIA CONSERVATION CORPS.
THEY ARE READY TO GO IN AND START REMOVING THOSE PALM TREES WHEN THE TIME COMES.
WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING THAT SOMETIME IN EITHER NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER, WE WILL ALSO HAVE TO WORK WITH THE CITY STAFF BECAUSE IT WILL BE A BIRD NESTING SEASON.
SO THAT'LL BE ANOTHER ELEMENT THAT WE'LL WORK AROUND.
UM, BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH THE FIRE DISTRICT AS WELL, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT PRESENTING OR CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD.
AND THE FIRE DISTRICT HAS MENTIONED THAT IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION, IT'S NO MORE DANGEROUS NOW THAN IT WAS PRIOR TO INJECTING THE PALM TREES.
UM, SO JUST TO THE PUBLIC, UM, THE PALM TREES IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION ARE NOT, UH, ARE NOT A FIRE HAZARD.
AND THEN AGAIN, NO FIREWORKS, RIGHT? NO FIREWORKS.
UM, I WANT TO THANK STAFF UP OUR BED AT MYSELF, GOT TO TAKE A TOUR OF YOUR BELINDA AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT FOR VETERANS AND SENIORS, AMAZING PROJECT JOANNE.
UM, I KNOW THAT WE TOURED THAT IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND CHINOS IN THE FUTURE, I THINK ART MYSELF, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT WE'D LIKE TO A GREAT LOOKING.
I WENT TO THE DEDICATION OF THAT ON JUNE 2ND.
I THINK IT WAS WITH BEN AND JOANNE AND, UH, IT WAS AN IMPRESSIVE FACILITY HOW THEY SHOEHORNED THAT IN TO THAT PROPERTY.
SO WE DO, THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR
[01:05:01]
RANTS.I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER THIS, I DON'T RECALL THE PERCENTAGE, BUT I THINK IT'S RIGHT AROUND 60% OF WHATEVER THE FAIR MARKET RENTS ARE, IT'S REDUCED.
WELL, ONE THING I, I, YOU KNOW, REALLY KEYED IN ON IS 20% OF THE UNITS, UH, VETERANS WILL HAVE FIRST PRIORITY, UH, IN RENTING IN THERE TOO.
SO, UH, FOR OUR VETERANS COMMUNITY, IT WAS A GREAT THING.
THAT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE TO ME.
GREAT PROJECT, UM, REGARDING THE STATE PARK, JEREMY, I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.
DO WE DO AN ASSESSMENT AS FAR AS COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS OR AT THE STATE PARK? IS IT A CONCERN THAT WE DO? I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY IT'S A CONCERN, BUT WE DO DO AN ASSESSMENT AND WE DON'T DO A DIRECT ASSESSMENT PER SE, FOR THE STATE PARK AS PART OF OUR LARGER WILD LAND PREPAREDNESS PLAN.
UH, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, THAT THAT FUEL TYPE THAT RUNS TO THAT AREA ISN'T NECESSARILY CONFINED TO THE STATE PARK.
SO WE DON'T DO A SPECIFIC ASSESSMENT ON THE STATE PARKLAND, BUT IT IS PART OF OUR GREATER A WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN.
AND IF THERE IS A FIRE, I MEAN, FIRE IN THAT AREA OR WHEREVER IN CHINO HILLS, WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDATION AS FAR AS AN INDIVIDUAL THAT LIVES CLOSE TO A FIRE, WHAT SHOULD THEY DO? WELL, WE, WE LIKE TO SAY, I MEAN, IT'S EASY TO REMEMBER A READY SET GO.
SO ANYTIME WE HAVE AN, AS YOU'RE AWARE, A WILDFIRE IS A HIGH RISK IN OUR COMMUNITY.
ONE OF THE PARTS ABOUT LIVING IN A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY LIKE WE DO IS THAT WITH THAT COMES THE, UH, WHAT WE CALL A WILD LAND, URBAN INTERFACE WITH THAT.
UM, IF THERE IS A WILDFIRE, WE ENCOURAGE OUR CITIZENS AHEAD OF TIME, GET READY, UH, HAVE YOUR IMPORTANT PAPERS, UH, SMALL, LIKE A PORTABLE CAGES, IF YOU WILL, FOR YOUR PETS.
UH, JUST HAVE THAT AS PART OF YOUR, UH, FAMILY PLAN, UH, IN, IN THE EVENT THAT WE HAVE A FIRE, UH, WE MAY, UH, WORK WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT ON WHAT WE CALL EVACUATION WARNINGS, IF THAT WERE TO OCCUR LIKE WE HAD DURING THE BLUE RIDGE INCIDENT, UH, WE WOULD GIVE INDICATION TO THE COMMUNITY.
THAT'S WHEN IT'S TIME TO GET SET, THAT'S WHEN IT'S TIME TO GET EVERYTHING READY.
UH, IF YOU HAVE THOSE CAGES, GET YOUR PETS ROUNDED UP, GET YOUR PAPERWORK, GET YOUR PHOTOS, GET YOUR FAMILY TOGETHER.
AND THEN FINALLY, IF YOU'RE GIVEN THE DIRECTION TO GO, THEN WE NEED YOU TO ACTUALLY DO THAT.
AND PART OF THAT EVACUATION ORDER, UH, THAT'S GIVEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, WE TAKE A LOT OF CONSIDERATION AND TRY AND THINK AHEAD THAT EVEN IF THAT FIRE MAY NOT BE KNOCKING ON YOUR FRONT DOOR, WE'RE TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE SO THAT WHETHER YOU CAN WORK WITH TRAFFIC TO GET OUT OF YOUR PARTICULAR AREA IN A SAFE MANNER, UM, PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE.
SO AGAIN, UH, GET READY AHEAD OF TIME, GET SET WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT IT.
AND WHEN YOU'RE GIVEN THE ORDER TO GO, WE ENCOURAGE CITIZENS TO DO THAT.
OKAY, JEREMY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.
UM, EARLIER TODAY WE HAD A GENTLEMAN THAT ACTUALLY GOT UP AND SPOKE.
HE WAS A YOUNG MAN, AND I JUST WANT TO SAY DANIEL WAS YOUR FIRST NAME.
THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND SPEAKING.
AND AGAIN, HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HAPPEN FAIRLY SOON.
I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA COMING, COMING UP, BUT WE JUST HAVE SOME REMARKABLE PEOPLE IN CHINO HILLS.
SO DANIEL, ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU.
UM, I JUST WANT TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU SINCE WE SIGNED THE AGREEMENT WITH BLD.
EVERY TIME I GO BY THERE, THE PLACE IS PACKED.
SO IT WASN'T QUITE EIGHT O'CLOCK WAS MY GOAL AND WE WENT OVER.
THAT'S BECAUSE ART TALK TOO LONG AGAIN, THOUGHT WE HAD IT.
I COULD TALK TO ALL THE WAY TO MY ANNIVERSARY.
CAN I, CAN I RECOGNIZE TWO FIRE BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE FOR A CERTAIN FIGURES HERE AND SARAH IS HERE ALSO.
SO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP WITH THIS.
AND WE GAVE YOU A SHORTER MEETING THIS TIME.
