THE JOURNEY OF THE BALLOT, AGAIN, DISCUSSES THE PROCESS FROM WHEN A VOTER CASTS THEIR BALLOT TO EVENTUALLY HOW THE BALLOT TRAVELS TO THE REGISTRAR OF VOTER'S OFFICE.
AND IT GETS TALENTED AND COUNTED THROUGH OUR, UH, THROUGH OUR CANVAS PROCESS.
UM, THE SECURITY OF THE BALLOT IS, AGAIN, A VERY IMPORTANT FOCUS FOR THIS ELECTION.
AND, AND WE WANT TO SHARE WITH EVERYBODY, UM, HOW THE REGISTER OF VOTERS TAKES SECURITY OF THE BALLOT VERY SERIOUSLY.
AND HOW WE EMPLOY CHAIN OF CUSTODY TO MAKE SURE THE BALLOT TRAVELS SECURELY TO THE REGISTER OF VOTERS UNTIL IT'S, UH, COUNTED THROUGH THE PROCESS.
AND HOW THE SECURITY IS, UM, IS THE FOCUS THROUGHOUT THAT PROCESS.
THE JOURNEY OF THE BALLOT IS A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS.
UH, WE DO, UH, THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS CREATES THE VOTER INFORMATION GUIDES.
WE CREATE THE, AND, YOU KNOW, WE DESIGNED THE BALLOT.
UM, WE VERIFY SIGNATURES AND WE TALLY THE VOTES.
BUT IN THAT PROCESS, THE PUBLIC HAS A VERY IMPORTANT PART.
[00:15:01]

UH, WE, WE DELIVER THE VOTER INFORMATION GUIDES TO THE US POSTAL SERVICE, AND THAT ACTUALLY OCCURRED A DAY EARLIER THAN WHAT WE SEEN HERE.
UM, WE ACTUALLY MAILED OUR FIRST VIGS TO THE US PS ON OCTOBER 6TH.
UM, OUR BALLOTS WERE ACTUALLY MAILED TO THE US POSTAL SERVICE AHEAD OF TIME AS WELL.
UH, WE HAVE IT INDICATED HERE AS OCTOBER 10TH, BUT WE ACTUALLY SENT THEM TO THE US P A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN THAT.
UM, EARLY VOTING BEGAN TODAY, AND IT'S AT THE REGISTRAR OF VOTER'S OFFICE IN OUR SAN BERNARDINO OFFICE, AND IT IS ONE OF FOUR WAYS WHERE VOTERS CAN CAST THEIR VOTE.
UH, WE HAVE A VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINE OUT OF OCTOBER 24TH, AND OF COURSE, ELECTION DAY IS NOVEMBER 8TH.
WE BEGIN OUR CANVAS OF THE ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 9TH, AND THEN WE HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME TO DO SO.
AND WE CERTIFY OUR ELECTION RESULTS ON DECEMBER 8TH.

UH, WE HAVE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AS WELL AS JUST AGAIN, OUR ROV EMAIL ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER.

HI, I'M BRIAN, UM, REGARDING THE VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE.
UM, HAVE YOU HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THOSE, THIS ONE GOING OUT? I KNOW I GOT MY BALLOT TODAY, BUT I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE VOTER GUIDE.
WELL, WE ACTUALLY STARTED, UH, MAILING THEM OUT.
WELL, THE, WE SENT THEM TO OUR VENDOR, SENT THEM TO THE US POSTAL SERVICE ON OCTOBER 6TH.
SO THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, UM, THAN WE ANTICIPATED OCTOBER 7TH.
UM, AND AGAIN, UH, WE HAVE THE MAIL BALLOT SENT OUT AND A CERTAIN SCHEDULE AS WELL.
SO, UH, THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF OVERLAP IN SOME CASES.
BUT WE ANTICIPATE THE VIGS TO ARRIVE, UM, WITH THE MAIL BALLOTS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS WITH THE LATEST VIGS BEING, UH, MAILED TO THE US PS ON OCTOBER 16TH.
SO, IN THE INTERIM, PEOPLE SHOULD GO TO THE WEBSITE, YOU PLUG IN YOUR ADDRESS AND YOU CAN GET YOUR EXACT VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE.
WE HAVE SB COUNTY ELECTIONS.COM, WHICH INCLUDES THE VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE.
THERE'S A COMPREHENSIVE VERSION THAT THE PUBLIC CAN ACCESS, AND THEY CAN ALSO ACCESS AVERSION SPECIFIC TO, UH, THEIR BALLOT STYLE.
WE DO OFFER A FOUR WAYS TO VOTE.
UH, ONE OF THEM IS TO VOTE BY MAIL, UH, IT'S POSTAGE PAID, AND VOTERS CAN CAST THEIR, UH, BALLOT THROUGH, UH, THROUGH JUST THROUGH THEIR US PS THROUGH THE POSTAL SERVICE.

UH, AND OF COURSE, THERE'S IN-PERSON VOTING AT THE POLLING PLACES, WE HAVE 292 THE SELECTION, AND THOSE ARE AVAILABLE ON NOVEMBER 8TH.
GOT A QUESTION, IF YOU GET A MAIL BALLOT, YOU COULD SURRENDER IT RIGHT AT A LOCATION AND STILL VOTE IN PERSON IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN STILL VOTE IN PERSON.
UM, WE ALLOW THAT AT OUR, OUR EARLY VOTE SITES AND ACTUALLY AT OUR, UM, POLLING PLACES TOO.
THERE IS A MECHANISM FOR THAT.
UM, AGAIN, REGARDLESS HOW YOU SUBMIT YOUR BALLOT, WE HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT WAYS.
WE JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BALLOT ARRIVES AT THE REGISTRAR VOTER'S OFFICE TO BE, UH, PROCESSED AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE PROCESS TO BE PROCESSED.
AND EVENTUALLY, UM, GOING THROUGH THE MEASURES OF THE SECURITY, THE TRANSPARENCY, AND THE DOUBLE CUSTODY.
UH, AND AGAIN, UH, LET'S GO ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE SO WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT HOW YOUR MAIL BALLET GETS PROCESSED.
EVER WONDER WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR MAIL BALLOT AFTER YOU DROP IT OFF? LET'S FIND OUT WHETHER YOU DROP YOUR MAIL BALLOT
[00:20:01]
OFF AT A POLLING PLACE, A DROPBOX OR THE POST OFFICE, YOUR BALLOT BE PROCESSED.THE SAME BALLOTS ARE COLLECTED BY BALLOT SECURITY TEAMS THAT FOLLOWS SECURITY PROTOCOLS TO ENSURE EACH BALLOT IS SECURELY TRANSPORTED TO THE REGISTRAR OF VOTER'S OFFICE.
AT THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS, THE UNIQUE BARCODE AND SIGNATURE ON THE MAIL BALLOT ENVELOPE ARE SCANNED TRAINED REGISTRAR OF VOTERS STAFF USE THIS INFORMATION TO COMPARE EACH VOTER'S SIGNATURE ON THE BALLOT ENVELOPE TO THE SIGNATURE FOUND ON THE VOTER'S RECORD.
IF THE SIGNATURES COMPARE, THE ENVELOPE CAN BE OPENED.
HOWEVER, IF THESE SIGNATURES DON'T COMPARE OR THERE IS NO SIGNATURE ON THE ENVELOPE, TRAINED STAFF WILL PLACE THE BALLOT ON HOLD.
A LETTER IS SENT TO THE VOTE, NOTIFYING THEM OF THE HOLD AND THE WAYS TO RESOLVE IT.
ONLY AFTER THE HOLD IS RESOLVED CAN THE BALLOT ENVELOPE BE OPENED? ONCE THE BALLOT ENVELOPE IS OPENED, THE BALLOT IS CAREFULLY REMOVED BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ON THE BALLOT ITSELF THAT IDENTIFIES A SPECIFIC VOTER.
EVERY VOTE REMAINS CONFIDENTIAL.
THE BALLOT IS THEN COUNTED USING HIGH SPEED, ACCURATE BALLOT SCANNERS MONITORED BY TEAMS OF THREE.
IF THE BALLOT SCANNER CANNOT READ A VOTE, TWO PERSON TEAMS WORKING TOGETHER WILL CAREFULLY REVIEW ANY MARKINGS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS.
THESE TRAINED TEAMS ENSURE EACH VOTED BALLOT IS COUNTED ACCORDING TO VOTE COUNTING STANDARDS SET BY THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS.
AFTER THE BALLOTS ARE COUNTED, THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS CERTIFIES THE RESULTS FOR SAN OR BERNARDINO COUNTY, AND THE ELECTION IS OFFICIALLY OVER.
YOUR MAIL BALLOT HAS COMPLETED ITS JOURNEY.
LEARN MORE ABOUT VOTING IN SAN BERNARD BERNARDINO COUNTY@SBCOUNTYELECTIONS.COM, OR CALL 9 0 9 3 8 7 8 3 0 0 YOUR BALLOT, YOUR VOTE ALWAYS SECURE.
SAY THAT VIDEO JUST TELLS US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE JOURNEY OF THE BALLOT AND WHAT THAT BALLOT GOES THROUGH FROM ONE, FROM THE POINT IT'S CAST, UH, TO THE POINT IT GETS TO THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS' OFFICE.
AND AGAIN, WE JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THE FOUR DIFFERENT WAYS TO CAST A VOTE THROUGH THE US PS DROPPING IT OFF AT A MAIL BALLOT DROPBOX, UM, THROUGH AN EARLY VOTE SITE.
AND THEN AT THE POLLING PLACES ON ELECTION DAY, WHEN YOU, UH, VOTE ON YOUR VOTE BY MAIL BALLOT, WE JUST WANT TO JUST SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC, AND AGAIN, WE SHARE THIS IN THE VIDEO TOO, THAT THERE'S NO IDENTIFYING INFORMATION ON THE BALLOT ITSELF.
THERE IS A SIGNATURE THAT WE ASK ALL VOTERS TO SIGN AS FAR AS ON THE ENVELOPE, AND THERE IS A BARCODE ON THE ENVELOPE.
AND, AND THAT'S WHERE WE, UM, THAT'S WHERE THE VOTER, UH, IS ABLE TO, THAT'S HOW WE'RE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHO THE VOTER IS AT THAT POINT.
BUT AFTER WE VERIFY THE SIGNATURES AND THE BALLOT GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS, THERE IS NO IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ON THE BALLOT ITSELF ONCE IT'S TAKEN OUT OF THAT ENVELOPE.
SO THERE'S NO, UM, THERE'S NO MECHANISM FOR THE BALLOT OR THE VOTES TO BE TIED TO A VOTER.
SO THE, UH, PROCESS IS VERY SECURE AND IT'S CONFIDENTIAL.
AND, UM, WE WOULD JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT.
AND, UH, ALSO TALK ABOUT THE MAIL BALLOT.
YOU KNOW, WE DISCUSSED BEFORE, IT'S POSTAGE PAID.
IT'S ONE OF THE FOUR WAYS THAT VOTERS CAN CAST THEIR BALLOT.
BUT AGAIN, MAKE SURE TO SIGN THE BALLOT, UH, ON THE ENVELOPE, BE ACTUALLY MAKE SURE TO SIGN THE ENVELOPE, UM, BECAUSE THAT IS ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE VERIFY AND WE COMPARE SIGNATURES TO, UH, TRACK THAT BALLOT, SHOULD THE VOTER WISH TO DO SO.
UM, ONCE THAT, THAT BARCODE IS SCANNED ON THE ENVELOPE, THE VOTER HAS, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT LATER, IF THE VOTER HAS A OPPORTUNITY TO TRACK THEIR BALLOT THROUGH THE PROCESS.
THE SECOND WAY TO CAST A BALLOT IS THROUGH ONE OF THE 76 DROP BOXES LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE CO COUNTY.
THEY'RE MADE OF 18 GAUGE REINFORCED STEEL.
UM, THEY ARE LOCKED FOR THE PORTION, UM, UNTIL, YOU KNOW, DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION WHERE THEY'RE UNLOCKED.
UM, WE PLACE THEM IN AREAS OF HIGH VISIBILITY WHERE THEY'RE, UH, THEY'RE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC.
WE COLLECT THE BALLOTS AT REGULAR INTERVALS.
AND AGAIN, THE BALLOTS ARE PLACED IN THESE BOXES, WHICH ARE SECURE, AND THEY'RE REINFORCED STILL.
THEY'RE JUST VERY SECURE BOXES.
THE OTHER WAYS TO VOTE ARE THROUGH OUR EARLY VOTE SITES.
AGAIN, THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS SITE OPEN TODAY FOR EARLY VOTE.
UH, WE HAVE FOUR OTHER SITES THAT ARE OPEN ON NOVEMBER 1ST.
UM, THAT'S THE THIRD WAY TO CAST YOUR VOTE.
AND THEN, UH, I TALKED ABOUT, UH, TRACKING THE STATUS OF YOUR BALLOT, UH, USING THE, WHERE'S MY BALLOT? THAT SOS.CA.GOV.
IT'S A WEBSITE THAT VOTERS CAN SIGN UP AND WHETHER THEY CHOOSE TO GET NOTIFIED OF, OF WHERE THEIR BALLOT IS THROUGH THE PROCESS, THEY CAN GET NOTIFIED THROUGH THERE.
OR IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS, THEY CAN SIMPLY LOG IN TO VIEW WHERE THEIR BALLOT IS IN THE PROCESS.
WHERE'S MY BALLOT? I, I DO THAT.
YOU DON'T GET A LOT OF EXTRA STUFF, AND
[00:25:01]
IT'S TELLS YOU THAT THEY RECEIVED IT, TELLS YOU THAT THEY COUNTED IT TELLS YOU WHEN IT WAS ON ITS WAY.SO I, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR THAT IF THEY'RE, IF THEY'RE CURES AND WANT A SENSE OF, UM, SATISFACTION OR COMFORT THAT WHERE THEIR BALLOT GOT VOTED IN THE BACK.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE.
UM, SO WE DO HAVE, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT MAY HAPPEN IF, IF THE VOTER MOVES OR IF, UM, YOU KNOW, BALLOT IS MISPLACED, OR IF VOTERS ARE STATIONED OVERSEAS OR THEY NEED ACCOMMODATIONS, OR, UH, IF A VOTER NEEDS TO FIND THEIR POLLING PLACE.
UM, WE HAVE A BULLET HERE, A DOG AT YOUR BALLOT.
UH, WE HAVE A DIFFERENT MECHANISM TO RESOLVE ALL OF THESE, UH, CONCERNS AND ISSUES.
AND AGAIN, OUR WEBSITE, SB COUNTY ELECTIONS.COM, IS A GREAT RESOURCE.
IN THE JOURNEY OF THE BALLOT VIDEO, WE, WE SAW HOW THE BALLOT TRAVELS THROUGH THE PROCESS, ULTIMATELY TO THE REGISTRAR OF VOTER'S OFFICE.
UH, CHAIN OF CUSTODY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US.
UH, IT REALLY ENSURES A SECURE PROCESS.
UH, WE HAVE TEAMS OF TWO TRANSPORTING THE BALLOTS.
WHEN THE BALLOTS ARE, UH, UH, FLOWING THROUGH THE PROCESS.
THERE ARE TEAMS OF TWO, UM, REVIEWING THE BALLOTS.
AND ULTIMATELY DURING BALLOT COUNTING, THERE ARE TEAMS OF THREE AS WELL.
SO, CHAIN OF CUSTODY IS A VERY IMPORTANT TERM, UH, AND WE WANT TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU AS FAR AS THE JOURNEY OF THE BALLOT AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT, HOW IMPORTANT THE CHAIN OF CUSTODY PLAYS.
WHEN THE BALLOTS REACH THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE, ALL THE BALLOT BOXES ARE SEALED.
UM, WE ENSURE THE SEALS ARE STILL INTACT WHEN WE RECEIVE THEM.
UM, THERE'S TRACKING INVOLVED BESIDES THE CHAIN OF CUSTODY.
SO WE EMPLOY DIFFERENT METHODS TO ENSURE THE, UH, SECURITY OF THAT BOX THAT CONTAINS THE BALLOT AS IT TRAVELS TO THE REGISTER OF VOTERS.
UH, AGAIN, WE HAVE TRAINED STAFF, ONCE THE BALLOTS ACTUALLY GET TO OUR LOCATION THAT COMPARE THE SIGNATURES AS WE SAW IN THE BALLOT VIDEO.
AND AGAIN, IF THE SIGNATURES COMPARE, THE ENVELOPES ARE THEN OPENED AND, AND, UH, FLOW THROUGH THE PROCESS FOR COUNTING.
AND IF THEY'RE, IF THEY DON'T COMPARE, WE HAVE MECHANISMS TO CONTACT THE VOTER, UH, TO RESOLVE ANY OF THOSE CONCERNS.
SO WE HAVE, UH, THE MACHINE THAT WE, OUR SCANNER THAT, UH, AS WE PASS THE ENVELOPES THROUGH THE SCANNER, AND, UH, ONCE WE ARE AT A POINT WHERE WE EXTRACT THOSE, UH, BALLOTS FROM THE ENVELOPE, UH, THE, THE ACTUAL SCANNERS THAT ARE READING THE, THE BALLOTS FROM THE TEAMS OF THREE THAT ARE HANDLING THOSE, UM, IF THE MACHINE CANNOT, UH, REVIEW THE VOTERS' INTENT, WE HAVE TEAMS OF TWO, UH, IN OUR PROCESS THAT REVIEW THAT, UH, INFORMATION TO REVIEW THE ISSUE.
UM, AFTER THE BALLOTS ARE COUNTED, THE BALLOTS ARE PLACED IN BOXES AND RES SEALED AGAIN, UM, THEY ARE ARCHIVED.
SO WE ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THOSE IF NEEDED.
AND AGAIN, UM, TALKING ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THE ENTIRE PROCESS, WE HAVE TEAMS OF TWO, WE HAVE TEAMS OF THREE THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, DEPENDING ON WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS.
AND ULTIMATELY, I JUST WANNA ASSURE THE PUBLIC THAT WE DO, UH, MONITOR THOSE COUNTING ROOMS AND THE AREAS WITH CAMERAS AT ALL TIMES.
AND THE ACTIVITIES ARE ALSO OBSERVABLE BY THE PUBLIC.
AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT HOW THE PUBLIC CAN GET INVOLVED IN A MOMENT.
SO WE HAVE POLL WORKER OPPORTUNITIES.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR CITY COUNCIL, UH, CITY STAFF AND FELLOW RESIDENTS.
UM, TONIGHT I'M HERE AS A BOARD MEMBER WITH THE CHINO VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
AND JUST WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON WHAT WE HAVE COMING UP IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
UM, JUST AS THIS MORNING, WE HAD A WONDERFUL BREAKFAST WITH, UH, YOUNG KIM AND IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND HAD A GREAT TIME.
AND THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER BENNETT, FOR BEING THERE.
UM, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20TH, WE'LL BE HAVING THE CITY COUNCIL, UM, CHINO HILLS CITY COUNCIL, UM, CANDIDATE FORUM THAT WILL START AT 5:30 PM AND IT'LL BE HELD RIGHT HERE IN THIS, UM, ARENA.
UM, ON OCTOBER 22ND, WE WILL HAVE OUR ANNUAL BUSINESS EXPO, UM, THAT WILL BE FROM 10:00 AM TO 2:00 PM THAT WILL BE AT THE SHOPS.
IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR THE COMMUNITY AND EVERYBODY TO COME OUT TO MEET THE WONDERFUL BUSINESSES THAT WE HAVE IN THE, UH, GREAT CHINO VALLEY.
AND THEN ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH, WE'LL BE HAVING THE CHINO HILLS KIDS ENTREPRENEUR FAIR IN OUR STUDENT PITCH COMPETITION.
THOSE WILL BE ON THE SAME DAY.
THE KIDS FAIR STARTS AT 1230 AND GOES TO FOUR 30.
THE STUDENT PITCH COMPETITION STARTS AT 4:00 PM AND WE'LL CONTINUE UNTIL IT'S DONE.
UM, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE 10 TEAMS THIS YEAR ON THE PITCH COMPETITION, AND THAT WILL BE HELD AT THE SHOPS.
UM, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
THE FIRST ONE IS, I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THE CITY PROVIDES, UH, RESOURCES TO SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS IN TERMS OF, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, FINANCIAL SUPPORT SPACE TO HOUSE EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS FOR NETWORKING.
UM, THE SECOND QUESTION IS, UH, WHICH WOULD BE THE BEST DEPARTMENT OR PERSON TO CONTACT, UH, REGARD OF THESE RESOURCES? AND THE THIRD QUESTION IS, I MADE A OBSERVATION THAT I FIND NO PHYSICAL GALLERY SPACE BESIDES, UH, COMMUNITY CENTER THAT EXIST IN CHINO HILLS, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF FOOD TRAFFIC.
I WONDER IF THE CITY HAS CERTAIN PREFERENCE, UH, APPROVING BUSINESS AS SUCH.
WE CAN'T REALLY, THE BROWN ACT, WE CAN'T REALLY RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTIONS, BUT OUR CITY MANAGER POSSIBLY COULD OR, OR JONATHAN.
[00:35:01]
NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT WHY DON'T YOU COME TAKE MY BUSINESS CARD.ANYTHING YOU WANNA SAY OR, AND THEN, UH, WE HAVE YOUR SPEAKER CARD.
WHAT I'LL DO IS DO WE HAVE CONTACT INFORMATION ON THIS CARD? WE DO NOT, BUT I'LL HAVE, UM, IF YOU PUT YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION ON THIS CARD, WE'LL HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE CITY RESPOND TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS VIRGINIA RANIA RENTERIA, YOU SAY IT
UM, MY INTEREST AND DESIRE TO COME HERE TONIGHT WAS PERFECT BECAUSE I HAD A QUESTION ON THE DROP BOXES.
AS YOU'RE ALL AWARE, WE HAD A FIASCO IN NOVEMBER OF 2020.
UM, THE CHAIN OF CUSTODY IS GOOD, BUT THE DROP BOXES IS THERE 24 HOUR SURVEILLANCE ON THOSE BOXES.
I MEAN, I KNOW THEY COULD BE BOLTED INTO THE GROUND AND THAT'S FINE.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WANTS TO TAKE OFF WITH THEM.
BUT WHAT'S TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM PULLING UP EVERY COUPLE OF HOURS AND DROPPING UP, DROPPING OFF BALLOTS THAT HAVE BEEN HARVESTED? THERE SHOULD BE SURVEILLANCE ON THOSE BALLOTS CUZ BALLOTS ARE REALLY LIKE GOLD CUZ IT IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS THAT WERE, UM, AFFECTED WITH THE NOVEMBER, 2020 ELECTION.
VIRGINIA, CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR? CAN YOU ADDRESS US COUNCIL? OH, OKAY.
I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE THEY WOULD HAVE THE ANSWER.
YEAH, THAT'S MY CONCERN IS THAT WE HAVE DROP BOXES AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE TWO IN CHINO HILLS.
UM, I'M NOT SURE THAT'S WHAT I'VE HEARD.
THERE'S TWO AND IS THERE CAMERAS ON 'EM SO THAT SOMEONE IS WATCHING THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SAME PERSON WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN PAID TO HARVEST SOME BALLAS AND PUT 'EM IN THERE, UM, THAT WAY OR, YOU KNOW, SHOW UP EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS TO PUT IN DROP TO DROP IN SOME BALLOTS? I REALLY DON'T CARE FOR THE DROP BOXES.
I THINK THERE'S TOO MUCH OF A RISK OF HAVING, UM, ELECTION FRAUD HAPPEN.
AND I AM GLAD THAT WE HAVE, I KNOW THAT WE HAVE, AS CITIZENS, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO AND SEE THE PROCESSING OF THE BALLOTS.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST AT THE ROV AND SAN WELL IN RIALTO OR IF THERE'S ANOTHER ONE, UM, CLOSE BY.
CUZ I HAPPENED TO GO TO THE LA COUNTY ONE AND IT WAS QUITE INTERESTING.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF THE BROWN ACT, WE CAN'T REALLY RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTIONS, BUT IF YOU GIVE US YOUR INFORMATION WE'LL HAVE SOMEBODY BACK WITH YOU.
CAUSE I LIKE WHAT ARIZONA DID.
THEY ACTUALLY, PEOPLE ACTUALLY ADOPTED CITIZENS CONCERNED.
CITIZENS ACTUALLY ADOPTED DROP BOXES AND THEY CAMPED OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE WAS STUFFING IN A BALANCE.
MAYOR, I CAN RESPOND TO THE, UH, SECURITY OF OUR DROPBOX.
THERE IS ONLY ONE, UH, PERMANENT DROPBOX IN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS, AND THAT'S LOCATED IN FRONT OF OUR LIBRARY HERE, WHICH IS DIRECTLY IN THE VIEW OF A CAMERA.
SO WE DO HAVE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE ON THAT CAMERA.
THE, UH, REGISTRAR VOTERS HAS A VERY STRINGENT, UH, PROCESS IN COUNTING THOSE BALLOTS AND MATCHING UP THE SIGNATURES AND SUCH AS THEY EXPLAINED IN THEIR PRESENTATIONS.
SO IF THERE WERE ANY BALLOTS THAT WERE, UM, DEPOSITED THAT WEREN'T VALID, THEY WOULD CATCH THAT DURING THEIR PROCESS.
IN ADDITION, THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE HAS A BALLOT BOX LOCATED INSIDE OF OUR BUILDING THAT'S THERE DURING OUR, UM, WORKING HOURS.
FOR ANY RESIDENT WHO IS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE OUTSIDE BALLOT BOX, THEY CAN COME IN AND DELIVER 'EM TO OUR OFFICE.
YEAH, CUZ IT'S QUITE A TEDIOUS PROCESS TO SIT THERE AND LOOK AT SURVEILLANCE AND IT'S LIKE, OH YEAH, THAT WAS THE SAME PERSON THAT WAS HERE TWO DAYS AGO, BUT PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO DROP OFF BALLOTS ON BEHALF OF OTHERS.
WE CAN GIVE OUR PERMISSION TO DO THAT.
SO WE WOULDN'T BE MONITORING THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY.
WE WOULD RELY ON THE PROCESSES THAT THE REGISTRAR VOTERS HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BALLOTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED ARE VALID.
DO I SHE GIVE HER MY PLEASE IF YEAH, IF YOU WANT TO.
VIRGINIA, THANK YOU FOR THOSE COMMENTS.
AND YOU CAN, IF YOU WANNA WALK OVER THERE, YOU CAN GIVE HER YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION, BUT THANK YOU.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS SUZETTE DING.

I'M THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DIRECTOR FOR THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
UM, ON TOP OF ALL OF THE WONDERFUL EVENTS THAT WE'RE ALREADY PUTTING ON, I'M VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE ARE OFFICIALLY ROLLING OUT OUR CHINO VALLEY LEADERSHIP COLLABORATIVE, WHICH IS THE FIRST FOR THE CHINO VALLEY.
IT'S A COMMON PROGRAM THAT A LOT OF CHAMBERS RUN IN THEIR CITIES.
UM, AND, UM, BUT OURS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE UNIQUE BECAUSE WE ARE INVOLVING, UH, STUDENTS IN OUR PROGRAM.
SO, UM, IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT IT BEFORE, UH, YOU'RE ACTUALLY PARTICIPATING IN IT.
UM, I'M WORKING WITH VALERIE, UH, WITH YOUR CITY TO, UM, COORDINATE A LITTLE TOUR.
WE ACTUALLY ALSO HAVE, UH, SHERIFF DEPARTMENTS AND, UM, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT INVOLVED WITH THE PROGRAM AS WELL.
UM, BUT YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU ALL.
UM, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE YOU ON THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY, WHICH I BELIEVE, UH, WILL BE STARTING OUT WITH VALERIE.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR YOUR ENVI INVOLVEMENT, YOUR PARTICIPATION, AND, UM, YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT WITH THE CHAMBER.
UH, MAYOR, A CITY COUNCIL, UH, CITY MANAGER, UH, STAFF, PEOPLE ASSEMBLED, AND PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE IN THIS MARVELOUS CITY.
UM, FIRST TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND MEMBERS THAT WERE AT A RECENT, UM, EMERGENCY MEETING, WHICH WAS, UH, UH, FOR PEOPLE WHO, UH, WERE VERY INTERESTED IN BEING PREPARED FOR, UH, EMERGENCIES.
UH, I ENDED UP AT THE END AND GOT A LITTLE LONG IN A PRESENTATION.
I JUST TURNED 80 YEARS OLD AND SOMETHING REALLY HIT ME REALLY, REALLY STRANGELY AND DIFFICULTLY BECAUSE MY BIRTHDAY WAS IN JUNE AND I HAD TO GO ANY FURTHER.
FIRST I APOLOGIZED FOR THE INTERRUPTION OR WHATEVER I DID AT THE END OF THAT MEETING.
THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT UP, UM, JUST NOW.
BUT ALSO IN TURNING 80 YEARS OLD, I FOUND THAT, UM, UH, I HAD TO GET A NEW LICENSE EVERY TWO YEARS, AND THAT WAS IN JUNE.
AND I READ THE, THE NEW DRIVER'S BOOK, THE LICENSE BOOK.
AND IT WAS WAY DIFFERENT THAN THE PREVIOUS ONES WAY DIFFERENT.
AND IT WAS MORE LIKE A COMPUTER THING GOING ALONG, AND IT WAS KIND OF CONFUSING.
AND, UH, I JUST WENT RIGHT INTO THE TEST WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESSING THAT I HAD THERE.
AND I THOUGHT, WELL, I'VE NEVER MISSED MORE THAN ONE ON A TEST IN 60 YEARS OF DRIVING AND I'M NOT GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM.
I PUT SOME OFF TO THE SIDE AND I PUT, I GOT FOUR WRONG EVEN WITH
[00:45:01]
THAT.SO I THOUGHT, I, I'M TALKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT, WHAT I DID, AND I HAD PEOPLE COME UP TO ME AND SAY, YEAH, IF YOU, IF YOU MISS YOUR TEST TWICE AS A SENIOR, YOU LOSE YOUR LICENSE.
AND I SAID, OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS, THIS IS, THIS ISN'T A PERMANENT THING.
SO I LOOKED INTO IT, UH, SOME MORE AND I FOUND THAT YOU AS SENIORS, 70 YEARS OLD AND OLDER, FOR ANYONE THAT'S LISTENING, LISTENING OUT THERE IN THE CITY, CALL TO THE DMV, THE GOVERNOR SIGNED AN ORDER IN JANUARY THAT IF YOU RENEW YOUR LICENSE ONLINE WITH THE DMV BY THE END OF THE YEAR, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BE, UH, DO IT ALL, ALL, UH, ONLINE.
AND IT WILL BE FOR FIVE YEARS.
AND WITHOUT BEING ANY TESTS, CALL THE DMV.
I GOT MY LICENSE TODAY AND IT HAS ORGANS DONATED.
AND THEN I LOOKED AT, WELL, WHEN DOES IT END? AND IT HAS UP HERE, END E D AND I'M LOOKING AT IT.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MINE SAID? SO HAPPILY, AND MAYBE THAT WILL REFLECT IN MY PRESENTATIONS.
THEY MUST KNOW SOMETHING MORE ABOUT MYSELF THAN I DO.
THAT WAS THE FINAL SPEAKER CARD.

SEASON, AND YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND THOSE DATES, TIMES, AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT ONLINE@SBCOVIDNINETEEN.COM.IN CITY NEWS, WE ARE CONTINUING THE PROCESS OF UPDATING THE GENERAL PLAN AND WE WANT TO HEAR FROM OUR RESIDENTS.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING PERFORMED ON CHINO HILLS PARKWAY BETWEEN RAMONA AVENUE AND THE NORTHBOUND, UH, STATE ROUTE 71 ON RAMP AS A CONDITION OF A DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF CHINO.
AND THAT WILL BE ONGOING THROUGH EARLY 2023.
THIS PROJECT IS REQUIRING LANE REDUCTIONS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS IN THE WORK AREA AS WELL AS THE NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND CHINO HILLS PARKWAY OFF RAMPS BEING REDUCED TO ONE LANE THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE PROJECT.
UH, FOR THOSE PROJECT INFORMATION AND UPDATES, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO VISIT CITY OF CHINO.ORG FORWARD SLASH CONSTRUCTION AND SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR NEWSLETTER FOR CONSTRUCTION UPDATES.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PI REPORT AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS? CAN I DIRECT A QUESTION ABOUT THAT ITEM TO, TO MAYBE DANIEL, THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE RIGHT NOW.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO, UH, YOU KNOW, GET AROUND THAT ISSUE? I MEAN, IT IS BAD AND THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF WAYS YOU CAN GET AROUND THAT THERE REALLY ISN'T.
UNDERSTAND THAT I'VE HEARD FROM NEIGHBORS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, SOME OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND IT'S OUT THERE ON NEXT DOOR AND ALL THE OTHER APPS, BUT IT, IT'S, IT'S REALLY A DISASTER AND IT, IT'S STUFF THAT'S GOING ON IN CONDITION AS A CONDITION FOR A CHINO DEVELOPMENT.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO IS THAT STILL CONSIDERED PART OF, UH, 1 42? DOES IT END AT THE 71 OR, OR NOT THAT'S NO LONGER PART OF CALTRAN RIGHT AWAY? NO.
SO IT'S, IT'S SOLELY ON CHINO HILLS PARKWAY.
WHAT I CAN DO IS I CAN REACH OUT TO THE CITY OF CHINO AND WORK WITH THEM TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND SOME SOLUTIONS TO ALLEVIATE THE TRAFFIC BURDEN.
BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BECAUSE THAT IT, IT REALLY IS A NIGHTMARE.
AND IT'S GONNA THAT OFF RAMP OF THE SOUTHBOUND
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF ACCIDENTS THERE CUZ PEOPLE BLOW RIGHT THROUGH THAT, UH, INTERSECTION AND NOW THROW THIS ADDED ONTO IT.
AND I THINK WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT, AT A MAJOR ACCIDENT, UH, JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN.
SO IF WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT, WE DON'T GET ANYTHING TAKEN CARE OF.
SO I WOULD REALLY STRONGLY SUSPECT WE, OR REQUEST THAT WE TALK TO, UH, CHINO OR WHOEVER BECAUSE IT'S JUST GOT TO IMPROVE AND ALL THE WAY INTO EARLY 2023, THAT'S JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR OUR RESIDENTS.
I'LL GET DOWN OFF MY SHORT BOX.
[ SAFETY UPDATES - Police and Fire]
GO TO SAFETY UPDATES.UH, LET'S START WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
HOW YOU DOING, SIR? GOOD, HOW YOU DOING? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.
COUNCIL, CITY STAFF AND CITY RESIDENTS JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT TO, UH, CRIME QUICK CRIME REPORTS.
AND, AND ONCE AGAIN, UH, IT'S BEEN SAID BEFORE, BUT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FULLY AND TRULY APPRECIATES A P UH, CAMERAS, WHICH LED TO, UH, A FEW ARRESTS THIS WEEKEND.
SO SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9TH, DEPUTIES RECEIVED A AUTOMATIC LICENSE PLATE READER NOTIFICATION FROM THE CIRCLE K UP ON CHINO HILLS PARKWAY.
DEPUTIES LOCATED THE VEHICLE A STOLEN DODGE CHARGER, AND CONTACTED THE FEMALE DRIVER.
IN ADDITION TO BEING IN POSSESSION OF THE STOLEN VEHICLE.
THE DRIVER WAS ALSO FOUND WITH A LOADED FIREARM AND HER WAISTBAND AND METHAMPHETAMINE.
SHE WAS ARRESTED AND TRANSPORTED TO JAIL.
UH, THE SECOND ONE ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 10TH, DEPUTIES RECEIVED AN AUTOMATIC LICENSE PLATE READER NOTIFICATION OF A STOLEN VEHICLE IN THEIR PIPELINE.
IN EUCALYPTUS, DEPUTIES INITIATED A VEHICLE STOP AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO YIELD AND LED DEPUTIES ON A PURSUIT THROUGH SAN BERNARDINO ORANGE AND INTO LA COUNTY.
WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF CHP, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP NEAR GRAPE STREET AND A HUNDRED 14TH STREET IN LA THE DRIVER AND THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AND TRANSPORTED TO JAIL.
ALSO, I'D LIKE TO COVER TWO QUICK, UH, NEW, UH, A SENATE BILL ON ASSEMBLY BILL, WHICH RELATES TO CATHOLIC CON CONVERTERS ON 9 25.
THE GOVERNOR SIGNED SENATE BILL 10 87 AND ASSEMBLY BILL 1740.
BOTH OF THESE NEW LAWS WILL REQUIRE A TRACEABLE METHOD OF PAYMENT FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTERS.
ANY MORE STRINGENT RECORD KEEPING OF PURCHASES, INCLUDING
[00:55:01]
DETAILED INFORMATION ON BUSINESSES SELLING THE PARTS AND THE VEHICLES THEY WERE TAKEN FROM INCLUDING A COPY OF THE VEHICLE TITLE.SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS IF A GUY'S ROLLING AROUND WITH A STOLEN CATA AT A CONVERTER AND HE GOES AND TRIES TO RECYCLE IT, THE VENDOR, THE RECYCLER, WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT UNLESS HE HAS AN ACTUAL COPY OF THE VEHICLE'S TITLE THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAME FROM.
AND SHOULD THEY BE IN VIOLATION, THE ACTUAL RECYCLER, THE VENDOR, THEN WE CAN GET WITH A BUREAU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, WE CAN GET WITH DMV AND WE CAN INSPECT THAT BUSINESS AND CITE THEM, UH, ADMINISTRATIVELY, SCRAP METAL RECYCLERS AND JUNKS WILL HAVE TO DOCUMENT HOW THEY'RE BUYING CATTLE CONVERTERS FROM WHOM HAS A WAY TO ENSURE THEY'RE DOING BUSINESS ONLY WITH OWNERS AND QUALIFIED SELLERS.
IT WILL NOW BE ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA TO BUY CATALYTIC CONVERGENCE FROM ANYONE OTHER THAN LICENSED AUTO DISMANTLERS OR DEALERS.
AND BOTH OF THOSE LAWS GOING TO AFFECT, UH, JANUARY 1ST IN 2023.
ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE QUICK ONE THAT SURE.
I JUST CAN'T GET MY HAND AROUND, BUT, OH, I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT A LAW THAT YOU HAD SHARED WITH US THAT WENT INTO EFFECT THAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND, BUT IT'S, UM, THAT, SO YOU CAN NO LONGER TAKE IT FOR JAYWALKING.
DO YOU KNOW THE PREMISE BEHIND THAT OR THE, THE BILLER? I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THE GENESIS BEHIND THAT, BUT, UH, JAYWALKING IS NO LONGER ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
SEEMS COMMON SENSE, THE SAFETY THING, BUT OKAY.
CHIEF WILLIAMS, MAYOR COUNSEL, UH, STAFF MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

LET'S GO TO COUNCIL REPORTS.HAD TWO MEETINGS THIS MORNING.
UH, C I W INMATE POPULATION IS NOW 861.
SEEMS LIKE EVERY MEETING JUST KEEPS ON YEAH.
GETTING SMALLER, SMALLER AND SMALLER.
WHAT'S THAT? OH, ONLY HOW MANY? 861 ROOMMATES
[01:00:01]
WE USED TO HAVE UP TO 1,701 TIME.NO, WHY THEY GO NO ONE GOES TO JAIL ANYMORE.
WE DID HAVE A COVID SPIKE THE LAST THREE MONTHS.
WE HAD 20 CASES OF COVID, ACTUALLY, EXCUSE ME, 70 CASES, UH, THE POPULATION AT THE C I W WOMAN'S PRISON, UM, THEY'RE, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A RETIREMENT AGE.
THE REASON IS, IS THAT IF YOU'RE IN PRISON, YOU HAVE TO DO A COUPLE THINGS.
YOU HAVE TO WORK OR YOU HAVE TO GO TAKE CLASSES OF SOME TYPE.
EITHER, UH, BETTERMENT FOR YOURSELF OR YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
BUT THERE'S SOME, UH, INMATES NOW THAT'RE IN THEIR SIXTIES, SEVENTIES, AND NOW THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING SOME SORT OF RETIREMENT.
SO THIS WAY THEY'RE NOT OBLIGATED TO, TO, TO DO THESE OTHER WORK OR, OR, UH, OTHER SAFETY THINGS.
SO, SO THAT'S A, HOPEFULLY THEY'LL HAVE SOMETHING.
NEXT MEETING ON THAT, UH, CM INMATE POPULATION IS 33 26 INMATES, AND THAT ALSO INCREASED FROM LAST YEAR BY ABOUT 800 INMATES.
SO AT ONE TIME, WE HAD 7,000, WENT DOWN ALL THE WAY, ABOUT TWO, NOW WE'RE BACK TO THIRTY THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX INMATES.
UM, THEY HELD A FUNDRAISER AT THE PRISON, AND THEY, UM, RAISED ABOUT $13,500.
AND ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS IN CHINO HILLS DID RECEIVE SOME OF THE MONIES FROM THAT.
MICHAEL WICKMAN ELEMENTARY RECEIVED A DONATION ABOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS.
UM, COMMUNITY EVENTS AT THE STARK LOCATION ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CHINO PRISON.
USED TO BE THE YOUTH AUTHORITY.

UM, COMING UP, UH, I THINK ON FRIDAY, SO, UH, S C T BOARD MEETING, WE APPROVED AN AMEND ITEM NUMBER 21 FOR CONTRACTS RELATED TO PRIDE LINE WEST HIGH SPEED RAIL PROJECT AT THE RANCH, RANCH COOK MUNGA LOCATION.
UH, THE BRIGHT LINE IS ACTUALLY A HIGH SPEED RAIL FROM, UH, FROM THE UPPER DESERT INITIALLY TO VEGAS, AND HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT THREE TO FIVE YEARS, THAT WILL BE DONE.
AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING TO BUILD THIS ONE STATION AT RANCHO COOK MUNGA BELOW THE DESERT.
UM, THAT SHOULD BE BETWEEN FIVE AND SEVEN YEARS.
SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON THAT, AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGIONAL RAIL AUTHORITY, WE BASICALLY DID A BUDGET REQUEST FOR FISCAL YEAR 20 22, 20 23 FOR AERO SERVICE.
THAT'S NINE MILES FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF REDLANDS TO DOWNTOWN SAN BERNARDINO.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE THIS IN THE UNITED STATES.
IT'S ZERO EMISSIONS, AND IT'S AN HYDROGEN POWERED, UH, UH, LOCOMOTIVE.
SO WE'RE REAL EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
AND, UH, GRAND OPENING, I BELIEVE ON THAT IS, UH, OCTOBER 21ST.
WE ALSO HAD A PRESENTATION ON LIVESTREAM BLOOD BANK, AND ABOUT THE LOW LEVELS OF BLOOD SUPPLY IN THE INLAND EMPIRE AND POTENTIAL IMPACTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
SO IF YOU CAN GIVE BLOOD IN THE NEAR FUTURE, PLEASE DO THAT.
AND I'M, I'VE BEEN REALLY BAD AT IT MYSELF, AND I'M GONNA, HOPEFULLY NEXT TUESDAY WILL GIVE BLOOD GOING TO SCAG, UH, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS.
WE ACTUALLY DID THIS FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
IT'S CALLED A WATER ACTION RESOLUTION.
WE HAD A PRESENTATION BY ALAN HORNICK, VICE PRESIDENT OF P P I C, WATER POLICY CENTER IN CHARLES WILSON, SENIOR FELLOW AT THE PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE OF CALIFORNIA.
THIS RESOLUTION OF FIRMS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.
THERE'S DROUGHT IN WATER SHORTAGE EMERGENCIES IN THE STATE REGION.
ONE PRESENTER, HELEN, BASICALLY TALKED LIKE THAT WASN'T REALLY A PROBLEM WITH WATER.
AND, UH, BASICALLY THE BUILDING IN INDUSTRY HAD MADE, MADE CHANGES, SO THEY DON'T USE AS MUCH WATER.
THE OTHER GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE, MR. WILSON, SOUNDED LIKE WE'RE AT CROSSROADS, THAT WE EITHER NEED TO DO SOMETHING OR WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO GET EDUCATED.
HOPEFULLY S SCAG WILL LOOK INTO THIS MORE DETAILED.
CITY MANAGER RECENTLY HAD A MEETING WITH THE BIA, SO THANK YOU ON THAT FOR WATER ISSUES.
UM, OUR VERY OWN SUPERVISOR, KURT HAGMAN, IS NOW OUR SECOND VP FOR SCAG.
UH, HE WAS, UH, VOTED IN OUR LAST MEETING, AND HE WILL DO A GREAT JOB.
SO WAS REAL EXCITED ABOUT THAT TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE.
AN UPDATE ON SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 2024 FINANCIAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT CORE REVENUES, AND THEN WE HAD A LONG CONVERSATION ON ACHIEVING ZERO EMISSIONS FOR COMMERCIAL TRUCKS.
WE TALKED ABOUT ELECTRICAL TRUCKS, AND THEN THE CONVERSATION WENT TO HYDROGEN.
AND TO ME, IT SEEMED LIKE HYDROGEN IS GONNA BE THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.
UM, HYDROGEN TRUCK CAN ACTUALLY RUN 700 MILES BEFORE THEY HAVE TO RE REFUEL.
THE ONLY ISSUE WE DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND YOU'RE GONNA SEE IN THE NEAR FUTURE MORE CONVERSATIONS ON TRUCKS AND HYDROGEN.
UM, WHO'S UP NEXT? I WILL TAKE ONE.
[01:05:01]
UH, SPEAKING OF WATER IS, UH, FOR CHINO HILLS IS A, A MEMBER AGENCY OF CHINO DESALT OR AUTHORITY OR CDA.AND THAT'S, UH, SEVERAL MEMBER AGENCIES BELONG TO THIS ENTITY.
AND THERE'S TWO FACILITIES, ONE IN CHINO AND ONE IN HARPA.
AND THEY TREAT BRACKISH WATER AND CLEAN IT UP AND PUT IT INTO OUR SYSTEM.
SO WE MEET MONTHLY AS AS A BOARD.
I DO REPORT ON IT EVERY MONTH WHEN WE, UM, HAVE SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT REPORT.
THERE'S REALLY NOTHING OVERLY SIGNIFICANT.
IT'S JUST KEEPING THOSE TWO FACILITIES GOING AND PRODUCING WATER.
SO WE VOTE ON SUCH EXCITING THINGS AS PURCHASE OF REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE ELEMENTS.
OH, I JUST, I DON'T, I DON'T WANNA BRAG, BUT THOSE ARE SOME OF THE TOPICS THAT WE TALK ABOUT.
UH, WE APPROVED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS, UH, AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR CONTRACTS ON, ON THOSE TWO FACILITIES.
MR. RIDERS, CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR? CAN YOU SAY ME THOSE, UH, NOTES? SO THIS WAY OF BEDTIME, I CAN READ 'EM AND FALL ASLEEP? IF YOU DON'T MIND.
EDWARDS IS GONNA BE POSTED SOON.
JUST TURN ON THE, TURN ON TONIGHT AND JUST WATCH.
IF YOU'D LIKE, I COULD GO ON FURTHER TO, IN CASE YOU CAN'T FALL ASLEEP QUICK ENOUGH.
WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO, SIR? WE'RE ALSO MEMBER AGENCIES OF WFA.
WHERE'S THE MASTER? AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE, UH, UH, ASSOCIATIONS WITH MONTE VISTAS, WATER DISTRICT WATERS, PA.
HOW'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MONTE VISTA? IT MOVE, IT MONTEVISTA IS GREAT.
I MEAN, THEY'RE ONE OF OUR FIRST SOURCES OF WATER WHEN HE CAME.
SO LET ME GO INTO THE HISTORY OF MONTE VISTA, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF TIME.
BUT WE NEED TO GET MOVING HERE.
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE OUR LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY COMMITTEE MEETING PRIOR TO THIS MEETING.
UNFORTUNATELY, OUR, UH, UH, OUR, UH, CONSULTANT WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND, SO WE HAD TO PUSH IT BACK.
BUT JUST, UH, SOMETHING THAT WE WERE GONNA TOUCH ON.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE CITY, UM, SUPPORTS A NUMBER OF BILLS.
A BILL AMONG THE OTHER ONES THAT THE CHIEF TALKED ABOUT WITH REGARDS TO, UH, ENFORCEMENT WAS, UM, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS IN TOWN ABOUT ILLEGAL EXHAUSTS AND NOISE FROM VEHICLES.
SO THE GOVERNOR SIGNED A BILL THAT WE SUPPORTED AB 24 96, WHICH, UM, PRIOR TO THAT, IT WAS JUST A SIMPLE FIX A TICKET.
SO IF YOU'RE OUT, YOU'RE OUT THERE AND YOU THROW ON, I DON'T KNOW, GLASS PACKS OR WHISTLE TIPS ON YOUR EXHAUST, YOU WOULD MAKE NOISE.
AND THERE WAS REALLY NO ENFORCEMENT.
NOW, UM, UNDER THIS LAW, IF YOU DON'T FIX IT, THEY PUT A HOLE ON YOUR REGISTRATION FOR YOUR VEHICLE.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT'LL HELP STEM SOME OF THE, UH, THE LOUD, THE LOUD NOISES WE SEE IN THE, UH, ILLEGAL SPEED ACTIVITY.
YOU KNOW, THE KIDS THAT ARE OUT THERE DOING THAT.
SO JUST THAT'S MY ONE UPDATE FOR YOU.
[ COUNCIL COMMENTS]
UH, LET'S SEE.IT WAS MOSTLY CLOSED SESSION WITH NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE TEAMSTERS.
I CONSENT CALENDAR, VERY SHORT MEETING.
UM, NOTHING TO REPORT FOR SCHOOL BOARD.
UM, AM I THE LAST ONE FOR, CAN I JUST GO INTO MY COUNCIL COMMENTS? SURE, PLEASE.
UM, I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND, UM, HANDS ONLY CPR TRAINING AT BIG LEAGUE DREAMS, UM, WHICH IS OUR LATEST RECIPIENT OF, UH, A E D.
AND, UM, IT'S VERY EXCITING THAT YOU GUYS ARE CONTINUING GREAT WORK AROUND TOWN.
UM, LIKE ART SAID, I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR PATIENCE WITH CALTRAN.
UM, IF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE, UM, CALTRAN DOESN'T ALWAYS COMMUNICATE WITH US IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND NICOLE IS A GREAT JOB AND VALERIE IN TRYING TO GET INFORMATION INSTEAD OF AFTER IT'S HAPPENING.
UM, EVEN TODAY THERE WAS A RESIDENT THAT HAD EMAILED THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A SIGN THAT WAS AFTER THE OFF RAMP, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
AND SHE HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE 91 FREEWAY AND TURN AROUND.
AND GIVEN WHAT SHE DID TODAY, SHE WAS VERY KIND.
IT WAS A VERY KIND EMAIL GIVEN THE FRUSTRATION THAT ANY OF US WOULD'VE FELT.
SO OUR TEAM WAS ON IT REAL QUICK.
WE GOT THE, THE PUSH OUT THERE, BUT, UM, IF YOU GUYS SEE SOMETHING, PLEASE SHARE INFORMATION WITH US BECAUSE THIS IS A TEAM EFFORT.
WE DON'T HAVE EYES EVERYWHERE, AND WE'RE NOT EVEN THE LEAD AGENCY ON THIS STUFF.
SO WE ARE THE, WE'RE AT THE MERCY OF CALTRAN TO GET THE CORRECT AND TIMELY INFORMATION.
SO WE APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S PATIENCE AND BEING EYES OUT THERE FOR US.
UM, RELATED TO CALTRANS, I HAVE A QUESTION, BEN.
SO I HAD A RESIDENT, UM, THAT LIVES IN HUNTERS HILL, THE STREET THAT FACES THE 71.
AND SHE SAID THAT THERE'S THIS LIKE, HUGE SIGN THAT IS BLOCKING HER VIEW OR SOMETHING.
IS THIS A PERMANENT SIGN, DANIEL, OR CAN YOU GUYS, IT'S FUNNY, I JUST ASKED DANIEL ABOUT IT CAUSE I SAW HIM GO UP OVER THE WEEKEND.
WHAT KIND OF SIGN IS THIS? I HAVEN'T NOTICED IT.
I DON'T THINK THEY'VE TOLD US.
AND I HAVE TO MYSELF, SOMETHING I'M GONNA LOOK INTO IN THE, I CAN REPORT BACK TO THE COUNSEL.
[01:10:01]
SENT ME A PICTURE.SO THERE'S ONE, UM, UH, OFF THE 71 ACROSS FROM BLD OR, UH, FROM BOYS REPUBLIC TOO.
SO I THINK THERE'S A SERIES OF THEM THAT ARE BEING BUILT.
SO IF YOU CAN FIND OUT AND I CAN GET BACK TO HER.
AND THEN THE LAST THING THAT I HAVE IS THAT, UM, SOMETHING YOU MAY NOTICE ABOUT THIS.
THANK YOU FOR THESE FIRES, CAPTAIN GOODAL.
SO, UM, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS THIS AWESOME PROGRAM CALLED THE LADY BE AWARE.
COURSE THEY OFFER IT FOUR TIMES A YEAR.
UM, IT'S FROM EIGHT TO FIVE, IT'S $75.
UM, I HAVEN'T ATTENDED THIS COURSE SPECIFICALLY, BUT AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GO TO THIS TRAINING CENTER AND DO THE SIMILAR THINGS OF WHAT THE LADIES CAN DO.
WE'VE HAD A COUPLE RESIDENTS GO AND THEY JUST ACCOLADES OF WHAT THIS DOES.
SO UNFORTUNATELY, WE'RE ON THE WEST END AND DIVORCE VERY FAR.
THERE'S A LOT OF WOMEN THAT WANNA ATTEND THIS.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO US TO LOOK INTO JONATHAN FOR OUR RECREATION PROGRAM, WE USED TO HAVE DAY TRIPS.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN STILL, THAT WE EVEN PROVIDED LIKE THE BUS TO GO ON THE DAY TRIP SOMEWHERE.
SO THIS IS FROM EIGHT TO FIVE.
MAYBE WE CAN FACTOR IN TRANSPORTATION, BUT WE NEED TO GET WOMEN FROM OUR, FROM CHINO HILLS TO THIS CLASS.
UM, NOW THE WAY IT WORKS, BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE REALLY LONG DEADLINES WITH THE REC BROCHURE, IF THIS WORKS OUT.
SO THE NEXT ONE'S NOVEMBER 12TH, THEN WE HAVE DECEMBER.
WE HAVE JANUARY, 2023, AND THEN FEBRUARY, 2023.
I'LL GIVE THIS TO YOU JONATHAN.
SO I, I WOULD JUST REALLY LIKE US TO LOOK INTO OFFERING AS A RECREATION OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN.
UH, CUZ I THINK IT'S THE DRIVE AND LOCATION THAT REALLY DETERS PEOPLE FROM GOING OUT THERE.
AND MAYBE WE CAN HAVE A THRESHOLD THAT IF WE DON'T GET X AMOUNT OF SIGNUPS TO COVER OUR COSTS FOR TRANSPORTATION, THEN WE NIX IT AND WE PUT THAT DISCLAIMER IN IT.
BUT I'D REALLY LIKE US TO LOOK INTO THAT.
IT'D BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO SUBSIDIZE IT TOO, PEOPLE.
CAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE GREAT PROGRAM.
DID YOU WANNA COMMENT ON THAT, CHIEF? SURE.
I'LL GO AHEAD AND COMMENT ON THAT.
IT'S TAUGHT BY FEMALE INSTRUCTORS.
UH, YOUR PARTICIPATION LEVEL IS DEPENDENT ON THE PARTICIPANT.
IT INCLUDES, UH, PERSONAL SAFETY AND SECURITY.
IT INCLUDES A LOT OF HANDS ON STUFF.
AND THERE IS A, UH, RANGE PORTION OF IT ALSO WHERE YOU CAN SHOOT HANDGUNS, RIFLE SHOTGUNS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO ONCE AGAIN, IT'S FOR, UM, UH, ALL AGES, UH, ADULTS, 18 AND UP.
AND LIKE I SAID, YOUR LEVEL OF PARTICIPATES YOU CAN WATCH, YOU CAN JOIN IN ALL THE ACTIVITIES.
YOU CAN DO PART OF IT, ALL OF IT, SOME OF IT.
UM, AS SOMEONE MENTIONED, I I DID ATTEND THE, UH, BREAKFAST WITH, UH, CONGRESSWOMAN YOUNG KIM THIS MORNING.
UH, THANK YOU JOHN FOR BEING THERE AS ALWAYS.
AND, UH, HELPING FACILITATE THINGS AND, AND GETTING HER WHERE SHE NEEDED TO BE.
SHE OPENED UP AND, AND HAD A LOT OF ANSWERS TO, UM, BURNING QUESTIONS THAT WE ALL HAVE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
SO I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.
WE, WE HAVE, UH, I DO NOT ATTEND ST.
PAUL, THE APOSTLE CHURCH, BUT THEIR HARVEST FESTIVAL IS COMING UP BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING.
OCTO THE WEEKEND OF NOVEMBER, EXCUSE ME, OCTOBER 21ST THROUGH 23RD.
I KNOW WE ALL USUALLY SUPPORT THAT EVENT, BUT, UH, THAT IS A GOOD COMMUNITY EVENT AND A LOT OF LOCAL PARTICIPATION.
SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO PUT THAT ON THEIR CALENDAR.
WE, UH, RAY AND I ACTUALLY WERE, UH, AWARDS PRESENTERS AT THE AYELLA MUSIC IN MOTION, UH, CON BAND OR FIELD CONTEST.
UH, THIS SAT THIS LAST SATURDAY.
UM, THAT'S ONE REASON WE WEREN'T AT THE WINE WALK, BUT, UH, IT, IT WAS GREAT.
UH, BOTH OF OUR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS, UH, ARE REALLY, REALLY, UH, EXCELLENT WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, FIELD SHOWS AND THEIR STATE CHAMPS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO IT, IT WAS, IT WAS A FUN, UH, EVENING THERE AT AY, UH, FIELD.
AND, UH, FINALLY WITH HALLOWEEN COMING UP AND ALL THE EVENTS THAT ARE COMING UP, THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF GOOD ONES.
UM, PARENTS EXERCISE SOME REAL, UM, OBSERVATION AND SUPERVISION OF YOUR, OF YOUR KIDS WITH THE FENTANYL ISSUES THAT'S GOING ON.
IT'S SCARY TO SEE ALL THESE CANDY LIGHT SUBSTANCES AND THINGS THAT ARE LOOK LIKE LEGO BLOCKS.
AND I JUST, I MEAN, IT, IT'S SICKENING TO THINK AND ONE TIME AND PEOPLE CAN BE DEAD.
UH, I KNOW THE SHERIFF HAS REPORTED ON IT.
WE'VE HAD GREAT THINGS AS FAR AS FINDING AND CAP CAPTURING THESE PEOPLE, BUT I THINK THAT WE AS PARENTS, IF YOU HAVE A SMALL CHILD THAT'S GONNA BE ANYWHERE FOR HALLOWEEN, MAKE ENCOURAGE THEM, FIRST OF ALL NOT TO BE EATING THE CANDY AS THEY'RE GOING ALONG, BUT ALSO TO, UH, YOU KNOW, HAVE IT EXAMINED AFTERWARDS.
AND I THINK THEY, THE FIRE CHIEF HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
UH, COUNCIL MEMBER BEN, I DID WANT WEIGH IN CUZ I, UM, THIS RESONATES WITH ME.
I HAVE CHILDREN IN HIGH SCHOOL AND, UH, ONE OF OUR BATTALION CHIEFS CAME IN TODAY AND THEIR SCHOOL, HE'S OUT IN MARIETTA, BUT THAT'S NOT FAR,
[01:15:01]
UH, THAT, THAT THEIR HOMECOMING, THEY HAD SPIKED THEIR BEVERAGES WITH FENTANYL.SO THIS IS A REAL THING THAT'S OUT THERE.
I'M NOT SURE WHY IT'S OCCURRING.
BUT AGAIN, PLEASE BE MINDFUL AND OBSERVANT AND, AND REALLY SHARE THOSE THINGS WITH YOUR CHILDREN.
SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT, IT ENOUGH SAID, BUT IT, THIS IS, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S CRAZY SERIOUS.
I MEAN, AND ONE TIME AND PEOPLE ARE DYING AND, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE DRUG THING, I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CALL IT RECREATIONAL DRUGS CUZ I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S EVER BEEN ON A MEDICATION THAT'S MIND ALTERING.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY CAN CONSIDER DRUGS RECREATIONAL.
IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, ABSURD TO ME.
BUT, UH, IF, ESPECIALLY THIS TIME WITH HALLOWEEN COMING UP, THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE FOR BAD PEOPLE TO DO BAD THINGS TO OUR CHILDREN.
SO BE EXTRA, UH, DILIGENT ABOUT THAT.
AND I'LL LEAVE IT WITH THAT NEGATIVE
I THINK JUST TO TOUCH ON WHAT ART BROUGHT UP.
I THINK OUR CHINO VALLEY SCHOOLS NOW ARE HANDING OUR ADMINISTRATORS OR TEACHERS HAVE NARCAN NOW TO DEAL WITH, TO DEAL WITH FENTANYL.
IT'S, IT'S TRULY SOMETHING SCARY.
YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD STORIES FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT ABOUT JUST, YOU KNOW, CONTACT WITH IT, TOUCHING IT, THAT IT REALLY, YOU KNOW, REALLY CAN BE A DEADLY, A DEADLY THING.
SO YEAH, WATCH OUT HOW THIS HALLOWEEN, UH, ATTENDED THE WINE WALK HOME.
PETER WILL TOUCH ON IT, BUT JUST MY 2 CENTS.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS.
IT'S FUN TO SEE EVERYBODY AT THE SOCIAL EVENT OF THE YEAR, IT SEEMS. SO THANK YOU TO YOU AND CYNTHIA AS WELL.
FOR EVERYTHING WITH THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND JEFF AND ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS.
UM, COUPLE YEARS BACK, I HAD ASKED OUR CITY STAFF TO LOOK AT BRINGING, UH, BACK COMMUNITY CLEANUPS.
SO WE HAD DONE ONE, GEEZ, WAS IT PRE, IT HAD TO BE PRE COVID AT PRE C IN, UH, LOW SERRANOS, UH, CROSS FROM LOS SERRANOS PARK MM-HMM.
AND SO I'M GLAD TO SAY THAT IT IS COMING BACK.
WE WILL BE HAVING A CITY, UH, COMMUNITY CLEAN UP IN LOS SERRANOS, OCTOBER 22ND FROM EIGHT TO NOON, UH, IN FRONT OF THE PARK AGAIN.
UH, I THINK A POSTCARD WILL BE GOING OUT TO RESIDENTS THAT ARE AROUND THERE, ESSENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, BRING, UH, BRING YOUR ITEMS. DON'T BRING, I, I'LL GIVE YOU THE DON'T BRINGS AUTO PARTS BUILDING MATERIALS, HAZARDOUS WASTE PAINT, HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS.
CLEANING SUPPLIES AND BATTERIES.
UH, PROOF OF RESIDENCY WILL BE REQUIRED.
SO BRING YOUR ID, CLEAN OUT YOUR GARAGE.
IF YOU HAVE TRAILERS WORTH OF STUFF, THEY'LL GIVE YOU A VOUCHER TO GO TO THE, UH, IN CHINO HILLS, RIGHT? I'M SORRY? YOU CAN LIVE ANYWHERE.
IT'S JUST CHINO HILLS RESIDENCE.
BUT YEAH, IF YOU HAVE A TRAILER OR SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO LOAD IT UP WITH, THEY'LL GIVE YOU A VOUCHER TO TAKE TO THE TRANSFER STATION IN POMONA.
SO, UH, IT, SO HOPE TO SEE YOU OUT THERE AND BRING YOUR JUNK.
ONE, YES, W WALK TOOK PLACE THIS PAST WEEKEND.
IT'S THE MAIN FUNDRAISER FOR THE CHINO HILLS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION.
A NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE HERE, UH, AND ON THE DIAS ACTUALLY, WE'RE IN ATTENDANCE AND A GREAT TIME.
UH, THE NUMBERS, WE DON'T HAVE FINAL NUMBERS YET, BUT I KNOW THAT WE, UH, SOLD 1,325 TICKETS FOR THE EVENT.
WE SOLD OUT THE WEEK BEFORE THE EVENT, AS WE TEND TO DO.
AND IT WORKED OUT, TURNED INTO A COTTAGE INDUSTRY.
I KEEP TELLING PEOPLE OF PEOPLE ONLINE TRYING TO FIND TICKETS FOR THE EVENT.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH TICKET SALES ON STREET CORNERS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
CHIEF THAT YOU SAW SOME, SOME DEALING.
SO DO WE STAND OUTSIDE LIKE THEY USED TO DO AT DODGE STADIUM AND SAY, HEY, GOT TICKETS, YOU GOT TICKETS, YOU GOT TICKETS, GOT TICKETS.
LONG AS THE FOUNDATION GETS A CUT IN THE PROFITS, I THINK WE'RE OKAY WITH THAT.
I THINK EVERYBODY HAD HIGH FIVES.
YOU WANNA THANK ANY OF THE VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE IN THIS ROOM THAT HELPED OUT, UH, WITH THE EVENT.
UH, WE HAD 81 VOLUNTEERS TO MAKE THIS EVENT HAPPEN.
AND, UH, ART, YOU BROUGHT UP THAT, UH, YOU HAD MISSED WINE WALK, SO, UH, WE THOUGHT OF YOU DURING WINE WALK AND WE SAVED A HALF BALLS.
STELLA ROSA FOR YOU FROM THE EVENT.
SO, WE'LL, I'LL GET THAT TO YOU LATER.
YOU CAN TELL HOW MUCH OF A WINE CONURE I AM.
IT'S SOMETHING WEAK AND I DON'T KNOW.
I WOULDN'T DRINK IT ANYHOW, SO
UM, BUT IT WAS A GREAT EVENT, UH, INCOME WISE, IF THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THE NUMBERS, BUT IT'LL PROBABLY BE VERY CLOSE TO LAST YEAR'S NUMBERS, WHICH WAS, UH, LAST YEAR WE PROFITED FOR THE COMMUNITY $123,000.
UH, SO IT'LL PROBABLY BE SOMEWHERE IN THAT SAME NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE ANNOUNCE THOSE NUMBERS NEXT TIME.
AND, UH, WANTED TO TAP INTO BEN A LITTLE BIT, BUT A, A MAJOR EVENT TOOK PLACE TODAY.
HAS ANYBODY BEEN THROUGH THE POST OFFICE IN
[01:20:01]
THE LAST, UH, 12 HOURS OR SO? YEAH, IT DOESN'T LOOK, IS EVERYBODY HAVING A SEAT RIGHT NOW? SO YOU DON'T FALL OVER OUT OF FAINT.BEN, CAN YOU KIND OF EXPLAIN HOW THIS, UH, MAY HAVE UNFOLDED OR DANIEL? SURE.
VICE MI ROGERS, UH, AS MANY OF THE RESIDENTS KNOW, THE LANDSCAPING, UH, AT THE POST OFFICE, UH, LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED.
UH, AND WE HAVE, UH, THROUGH MULTIPLE OCCASIONS REACHED OUT TO THE POST OFFICE.
BUT BEING THAT THAT'S A FEDERAL FACILITY, WE HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER THEIR OPERATIONS AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO DO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD, YOU KNOW, ON THE SURFACE.
I KNOW THAT MAYOR MARQUE HAS TRIED TO GET, UH, EVERYTHING FROM DIRECT SUPPORT, PERSONALLY HIMSELF TO, UH, BOY SCOUTS, TROOPS, AND I KNOW THAT STAFF OVER THE YEARS HAVE REACHED OUT.
UH, AND, UH, AS YOU MAY KNOW, UH, PRIOR WEEKEND WE HAD OUR MULCH GIVEAWAY, WHICH IS A COMPONENT OF OUR SOLID WASTE CONTRACT.
WHILE, UH, DANIEL AND I WERE MEETING AND SCRATCHING OUR HEADS ABOUT THE LEFTOVER MULCH AND DECIDED, WELL, LET'S GIVE IT ANOTHER COLLEGE.
TRY AND REACH OUT TO THE POST OFFICE.
AND, UH, UH, OUR VERY GOOD, UH, SWEET TALKING, UH, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, UH, DANIEL BOBADILLA WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE THE, UH, POST OFFICE TO TAKE, UH, THAT, UH, UH, MULCH OFF OUR HANDS.
SO IN A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN WASTE MANAGEMENT, THE CITY AND THE POST OFFICE, WE NOW HAVE GROUND COVER, WHICH WE HAVEN'T HAD IN A LONG TIME.
NICE TO COVER UP THOSE WEEDS, ISN'T IT? IT IS.
I GUESS WE'LL SEE THEM AGAIN SOON, RIGHT?
UH, JUST KIND, I DON'T KNOW IF I MENTIONED IT AT A PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING BACK TO THE FOUNDATION AGAIN, I DO WANNA ACKNOWLEDGE, AND WE'LL MAKE A BIGGER DEAL ABOUT THIS AT SOME POINT, BUT WE HAD A SIGNIFICANT DONATION TO THE FOUNDATION, UH, SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.
WE JUST HAVEN'T TALKED A WHOLE LOT ABOUT IT YET.
UH, BUT, UM, LONG TIME, UH, FAMILY IN THE REGION, THE BBA FAMILY AND MARY BBA PERI, UH, WHO, WHO'S, UH, PROPERTIES, WE HAVE SOME, UH, NEIGHBORHOODS BUILT ON NOW.
SHE DECIDED SHE WANTED TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, SO SHE DONATED A $30,000 TO THE CHINO HILLS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR US TO USE FOR EDUCATION AND, OR, OR, OR FACILITIES, PARKS, THAT SORT OF THING.
SO I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK HER AND THERE'LL BE MORE TO, MORE TO COME ON ACKNOWLEDGING HER, HER VERY GENEROUS DONATION TO THE FOUNDATION.
AND WHAT'S THE SCORE NOW? LETTERS.
IT WAS FIVED AND NOTHING LAST I LOOKED, BUT, UH, IT'S STILL FIVED AND NOTHING GOOD.
FIRST OF ALL, UM, WHEN SOME, YOU KNOW, WE GET A LOT OF PHONE CALLS AND PEOPLE ARE UPSET, UM, AND ONE TOPIC BECOMES UP A LOT TIMES AS STREET SWEEPING.
SO PEOPLE WILL GET TICKETS AND, UH, WE WILL GET NOTIFIED.
AND I DID RECENTLY ON ONE AND I THINK CYNTHIA, YOU WERE CC'D AND THEN I CC'D OFF THAT BEN.
WHAT NORMALLY HAPPENS ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, TYPICALLY THE, THE PUBLIC REACHES OUT TO THE COUNCIL IN A VARIETY OF WAYS.
IT CAN BE A PHONE CALL TO YOU, IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, TEXT MESSAGES, EMAILS DROP IN AT CITY HALL.
AND WHAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS IS THE, UH, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER WILL SHARE THAT WITH STAFF SO THAT STAFF CAN TAKE DIRECT ACTION, WHETHER IT'S A, YOU KNOW, REVIEW OF A PARKING TICKET OR A, A TREE THAT NEEDS TO BE TRIMMED.
AND THEN EITHER MYSELF OR SOMEONE FROM THE STAFF, UH, UH, DEPARTMENT CLOSEST TO THAT ISSUE, UH, INTERACTS WITH THE RESIDENT AND, UH, UH, COMES TO SOME CONCLUSION AND THEN CIRCLES BACK AND KEEPS THE COUNCIL IN THE LOOP.
AND SO, UH, TYPICALLY, UH, WHATEVER COMES TO THE COUNCIL MAKES ITS WAY TO STAFF, STAFF, MAKES DIRECT INTERACTION WITH, UH, ANY NUMBER OF PARTIES PLUS THE RESIDENT, AND THEN CLOSES THE LOOP WITH THE COUNCIL, AND OFTEN THE COUNCIL FOLLOWS UP WITH ME OR WHOEVER ELSE.
UH, RELATED TO, UH, THE, THE FINAL RESOLUTION, JUST ROLL, ROLL TO THE POINT HERE, UM, ON THIS ONE ISSUE THAT CAME WAS ON THE PAPER, UH, PAST SATURDAY, YOU WERE NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY BY CYNTHIA, MYSELF.
WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT, YOU AND MYSELF.
UM, YOU DID FOLLOW UP ON IT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL AND YOU CAME UP WITH, UM, YOU INVESTIGATED OR, OR WENT OVER THE FACTS AND THEN YOU RESPONDED BACK TO THE INDIVIDUAL, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
UM, MY SECOND THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT REAL FAST IS ELECTRIC STATIONS THAT WE HAVE, ESPECIALLY OUT HERE.
[01:25:01]
UM, AS MORE CARS ARE COMING INTO, UH, PLAY ELECTRICAL CARS, DO WE HAVE SPOTS FOR EMPLOYEES THAT DO HAVE EV CARS? UH, HERE AT THE GOVERNMENT CENTER, WE HAVE TWO CHARGING STATIONS.THERE'S ALSO TWO CHARGING STATIONS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, AND I KNOW STAFF'S WORKING TO ADD ADDITIONAL, UH, CHARGING STATIONS, UH, INITIALLY HERE AT THE GOVERNMENT CENTER.
UM, AND, UH, WE WILL ULTIMATELY HAVE IT, UH, I THINK ADDITIONAL THROUGHOUT, UH, CITY FACILITIES.
NOW, IS THERE A TIMER? CAUSE I, I KNOW SOMETIMES IT COULD TAKE UP TO FOUR OR FIVE HOURS.
I, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN, YOU KNOW, I DRIVE AROUND.
I SEE THOSE CARS SOMETIMES PARKED THERE FOR MANY, MANY HOURS.
IS THAT A PROBLEM OR NOT REALLY? I BELIEVE THE CHARGERS DO HAVE A MECHANISM FOR NOTIFYING THE PERSON THAT THE, THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETED ITS CHARGE.
UH, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, IT, IT COULD VERY WELL TAKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME TO CHARGE A VEHICLE.
I KNOW THAT THERE'S MONEY ACTUALLY FOR CHARGING STATIONS, SO IF THERE'S ANY WAY THAT WE CAN TRY TO ACQUIRE THAT TO MAYBE DO SOME MORE STATIONS.
YEAH, WE'RE DEFINITELY PURSUING THAT.
AND THEN, YES, I DID ATTEND MUSIC IN MOTION.
YOU'VE BEEN GOING FOR MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS, CORRECT.
PARTICIPATED A LOT OF THE, YES, IT'S A GREAT EVENT.
AND I JUST WANNA SAY BOTH OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, I YELL AND CHIN HIGH SCHOOL MADE US PROUD AS FAR AS OUR COMMUNITY.
THEY BOTH DID AN EXCEPTION JOB.
SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS.
UM, TRUCK STUDY IN CARBON CANYON.
DANIEL, I KNOW WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS.
CAN YOU JUST GO OVER REAL, REAL FAST WHERE WE ARE WITH US? CERTAINLY MAYOR.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH CALTRANS FOR A LITTLE BIT OVER A YEAR NOW, ACTUALLY.
WE'VE HAD A COUPLE DIFFERENT PHASES.
THIS LAST PHASE HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS.
UH, PRIOR TO THAT, WE SPENT ABOUT TWO YEARS WORKING WITH CALTRANS ON PHASE ONE.
UH, WHERE WE ARE NOW IS WE'VE COMPLETED A, UH, UH, A DRAFT TRUCK RESTRICTION, UH, STUDY, UH, TO RESTRICT, UH, TRUCKS OF A CERTAIN SIZE IN CARBON CANYON.
UM, CALTRAN TENDS TO PROVE THAT NOW WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING HERE AT A COUNCIL MEETING IN THE, IN THE NEAR FUTURE WHERE WE WILL RECEIVE TESTIMONY FROM THE PUBLIC AND THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY, UM, ON THOSE RESTRICTIONS.
UH, ONCE WE FINISH THAT PUBLIC HEARING AND WE INCORPORATE THOSE COMMENTS INTO THE, UH, FINAL REPORT, UH, THAT'LL GO BACK TO, UH, TO CALTRANS FOR THEIR ULTIMATE APPROVAL ALONG WITH THE ORDINANCE THAT WILL MAKE THOSE RESTRICTIONS.
UM, UM, WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY PLACE THOSE RESTRICTIONS THAT ONCE WE, WE WORK WITH THE, OUR LOCAL DISTRICT, IT'LL GO TO HEADQUARTERS AND AT THAT POINT, UM, HEADQUARTERS WILL GIVE THE, THE FINAL OKAY.
UM, WE WILL WORK WITH THE COUCH TRANS SHORTLY THEREAFTER TO PUT UP SIGNS TO, UM, ACTUALLY, UM, RESTRICT THE TRUCK TRAFFIC, UM, AND THEN WORK WITH OUR LOCAL ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ON THE, ON THE ENFORCEMENT.
UM, AS FAR AS TIMEFRAME, RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT TAKING THE ITEM TO OUR PUBLIC GROSS COMMISSION, UH, THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER AND THEN COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL, UM, SHORTLY THEREAFTER IN NOVEMBER TO, UH, ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AND, UH, HOPEFULLY GET THAT FINAL APPROVAL FOR CALTRANS.
DANNY, JUST QUESTION REAL QUICK, UM, RELATED TO CALTRANS IN THE CANYON.
I KNOW THEY, I KNOW THEY HAD GIVEN PERMISSION TO, UM, INSTALL THE A LPRS ON THEIR PROPERTY.
WE HAVE IT ON CITY PROPERTY PROPERTY.
DID WE WERE ABLE TO INSTALL THOSE NOW? YEAH.
CAUSE I KNOW WE DIDN'T HAVE 'EM BEFORE THOUGH.
THEY WERE INSTALLED, UH, EARLIER THIS YEAR.
THIS HAS BEEN A SIX YEAR PROCESS.
LAST TIME I WAS MAYOR, WE STARTED THIS.
UM, I WANT TO THANK THE CITY ABREA FOR PARTICIPATING MY COUNTERPART TO MY RIGHT.
WHENEVER I HAVE A A PROBLEM OR AN ISSUE, I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON P ROGERS.
SO THANK YOU FOR YEAH, WE HELPING WITH THAT.
UM, THE NEXT THING IS, UH, GOING TO MY RIGHT OF HERE AGAIN, BEING THERE FOR ME OR WITH ME, WE HAD AN ISSUE IN CHINO HILLS AND WE STILL DO ON FIRE INSURANCE.
WE'RE HAVING ISSUES AT, UH, COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, OFFICE BUILDINGS.
WE'RE HAVING ISSUES WITH CONDOMINIUM PROJECTS WHERE THEY'VE ACTUALLY GONE UP ABOUT $140,000 IN BUTTERFIELD FROM WHAT IT WAS LAST YEAR.
SO THEY HAD TO RENEW IT COST 'EM $140,000 MORE.
SO, UM, THE INSURANCE COMPANY TODAY, THEY DON'T HAVE TO GIVE YOU A REASON, SO THEY CANCEL YOU.
THERE'S SOME NEW REGULATIONS THAT ACTUALLY, UM, WE DID MEET WITH THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE, PETER, MYSELF, THE CITY MANAGER.
AND WHAT WE GOT OUT OF THIS, WHICH IS SOME GOOD NEWS, IS UH, THERE'S REGULATIONS THAT ARE MOVING FORWARD.
SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO TELL YOU EXACTLY WHY, UH, THEY COUNSELED YOU, NUMBER ONE.
AND NUMBER TWO, THERE'S AN APPEAL PROCESS, NOT AS OF YET, BUT HOPEFULLY IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
SO I WANT TO THANK BEN FOR BEING THERE.
I WANT TO THANK PETER FOR BEING THERE, TRU, TRULY APPRECIATE IT.
AND, UH, WE REACHED OUT SOME, SOME ELECTED OFFICIALS AT THE STATE LEVEL
[01:30:01]
AND WE'RE HOPING TO GET SOME, SOME HELP WITH, UH, THIS PROBLEM IN CHINO HILLS.CUZ IT JUST, SOME, SOME, LIKE MY INSURANCE IS AN EXAMPLE.
PETE, YOU GOT CANCELED IF I'M NOT MISTAKE, TWICE.
MINE WENT UP, USED TO BE ABOUT $1,300 A YEAR.
I THINK I'M PAYING, PAYING ABOUT $3,000.
AND I'M REALLY HAPPY I STILL GOT INSURANCE, SO I'M HAPPY WITH THAT.
SO, UH, THE NEXT THING I WANNA BRING UP REAL FAST, UH, WE DO HAVE A MEETING NOVEMBER THE EIGHTH.
AND IF WE CAN KEEP THAT AGENDA DOWN, I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
SO YOU GUYS OKAY WITH THAT? IF WE JUST, IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON THAT DAY THAT YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT?
I MIGHT HAVE IT AFTERWARDS IN MY NECK.
AND THEN SOME GOOD NEWS FOR US.
UM, I KNOW, UM, I SIT ON BOARD DIRECTORS FOR CAL CITIES.
I JUST GOT APPOINTED TO THE CHAIR FOR PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE.
AND AGAIN, I KNOW BRIAN PROP 47, FEW OF THE OTHER ONES I'M HOPING TO BE ABLE TO PUSH BACK THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO, TO MAKE A CHANGE.
AND, UM, WITH THAT, THAT'S MY AND MY REPORT.
[ ADJOURN IN MEMORIAM AND IN HOPE: Adjourn in tribute and honor of those who serve and have served in the Armed Forces at home and abroad. Their sacrifice and strength protect the goals and ideals that have made this Country great.]
I'D LIKE TO JOURNEY MEMORY AND IN HOPE TRIBUTE AND HONOR THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED OR HAVE SERVED IN ARMED FORCES AT HOME AND ABROAD WE'RE SACRIFICES AND STRENGTH PROTECT THE GOALS AND IDEAS THAT HAVE MADE THIS COUNTRY GREAT.
