NO, IT'LL BE AFTER YOU SAID ERICA.
SHE USED TO, SHE USED TO CALL ME TO SAY, WE ALL SET.
[5. PRESENTATION - General State and Federal Legislative Updates]
[00:25:01]
ON THE AGENDA IS A PRESENTATION ON GENERAL STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE UPDATES TO BE PRESENTED BY ERICA O'DONNELL OF TOWNSEND PUBLIC AFFAIRS.WHO'S THIS GUY? WHAT'S HIS NAME? ERIC O'DONNELL.
WELL, DRESSED UP THE WAY YOU ARE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE THAT RELIEF BEFORE MY PRESENTATION.
ERIC O'DONNELL TOWNSEND PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
HERE TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF LEGISLATIVE UPDATE, UH, OF OUR EFFORTS THIS YEAR, WORKING TOGETHER WITH STAFF UP IN SACRAMENTO AND WASHINGTON, DC QUICKLY, WE'LL START WITH SACRAMENTO.
THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION ENDED ON AUGUST 31ST.
THAT WAS THE SECOND YEAR OF A TWO YEAR SESSION.
SO NEXT YEAR WE WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH BRAND NEW BILL NUMBERS, BRAND NEW BILL CONCEPTS.
UM, THE GOVERNOR HAD 30 DAYS TO SIGN OUR VETO LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED BY THE LEGISLATURE.
JUST OVER 2000 BILLS WERE PASSED THIS YEAR IN CALIFORNIA.
UH, THE GOVERNOR SIGNED, UH, ALMOST HALF OF THEM, UH, LITTLE LESS THAN 1000 AND VETO TO 169 OF THEM.
UH, THAT VETO RATE IS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN PREVIOUS YEARS, UH, WHICH IS, UH, ALWAYS AN INTERESTING STATISTIC TO LOOK AT.
IN THE POLITICAL CLIMATE OF CALIFORNIA, WAS ABOUT 14.5% THIS YEAR COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS WITH GOVERNOR NEWSOM AT 7.8.
UM, SO YOU MIGHT BE ASKING WHY, WHY IS THAT THE MOST, UH, LIKELY OUTCOME FOR THAT IS DURING HIS, UH, VETOS, THE GOVERNOR SIGNS A LETTER TO THE AUTHOR TELLING HIM WHY HE VETOED HIS BILL.
UM, IN ALMOST EVERY VETO LETTER THIS YEAR WAS THE SAME PARAGRAPH, ALMOST CUT AND PASTED, UM, TALKING ABOUT OUR FISCAL UNCERTAINTY IN CALIFORNIA, UM, AND OUR, OUR POSSIBILITY OF OUR STATE BUDGET NOT BEING AS STRONG THIS NEXT YEAR AS THIS YEAR.
UM, AND SO ANY BILLS THAT HAD ANY SORT OF ONGOING COST TO THE STATE, UH, HAD A VERY HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF BEING VETO THIS YEAR, UM, FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, A VARIETY OF REASONS, BUT FOR THE, UH, ANTICIPATION OF A LOWER BUDGET IN NEXT YEAR.
THAT BEING SAID, THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE HAS JUST RECENTLY COME OUT AND ANTICIPATED A 25 BILLION DEFICIT NEXT YEAR, UH, TO BE CONTRASTED WITH OUR ALMOST A HUNDRED BILLION SURPLUS WE HAD THE LAST YEAR.
UM, IT'S A PRETTY STARK DIFFERENCE.
THERE'S STILL A LONG TIME TO GO BEFORE WE NEED TO START LOOKING AT TAX RECEIPTS IN CALIFORNIA FOR OUR FINAL BUDGET.
UM, BUT I WILL SAY THAT THE, THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS, INCLUDING THIS ONE, HAVE BEEN PRETTY DILIGENT ABOUT SQUIRING AWAY MONEY IN OUR RAINY DAY FUND AND OTHER SAVINGS ACCOUNTS.
SO THAT 25 BILLION, WHILE IT SOUNDS HIGH, IS, IS POSSIBLE, IS NOT GONNA HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT, AT LEAST ON NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET, BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE IN SAVINGS RIGHT NOW.
UM, I WANT TO BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT AB 2 0 11 AND SB SIX, WHICH ARE THE TWO MAJOR HOUSING BILLS THIS YEAR, COMING OFF THE WAKE OF SB NINE LAST YEAR.
UM, HOUSING IS OBVIOUSLY THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE IN, IN CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW IN SACRAMENTO BEING DEBATED.
UM, AB 2011 IN SB SIX HAD A ROCKY ROAD TO GET TO THE END, BUT THEY DID END UP PASSING.
UM, THE CONCEPT OF BOTH OF THESE BILLS IS TO BRING HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS INTO COMMERCIALLY ZONED AREAS.
UM, SO GETTING OUT OF THE CONCEPT OF HOUSING ONLY IN RESIDENTIAL ZONED AREAS, BUT GETTING MORE INTO COMMERCIAL ZONED AREAS AS LONG AS THEY MEET A CERTAIN SET OF CRITERIA, INCLUDING AFFORDABILITY STANDARDS, LABOR STANDARDS, ET CETERA.
SO THOSE COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN, ANY, ANYWHERE FROM 70 FEET TO 150 FEET OF RIGHT OF WAY ON, UH, ON ROAD ROADS, THAT WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR WHERE THIS WOULD BE ELIGIBLE, UH, FOR POTENTIAL, UH, BY RIGHT DEVELOPMENT OR ALLOWABLE USE DEVELOPMENT, UM, IN COMMERCIAL ZONES IN CITIES.
WE WERE
THIS WAS HEAVILY OPPOSED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS INCLUDING YOUR OWN, UH, FOR, FOR THE BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS.
UM, IT'S CHALLENGING, UH, IN CALIFORNIA, THEY, THE LEGISLATORS ARE DESPERATE TO DO SOMETHING ON, ON HOUSING.
UM, BUT I WILL SAY WE WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE WITH COMMITTEES AND WITH OUR CONNECTIONS IN, IN THE HOUSING COMMITTEES AND OUR, AND, AND THE MEMBERS WERE FRIENDLY WITH, TO BE ABLE TO GET A SIX MONTH DELAY AND IMPLEMENTATION TO THIS, TO ALLOW CITIES TO BE ABLE TO PLAN FOR IT, UM, AND BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IT.
AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING LIKE SB NINE THAT CAME RATHER OVERNIGHT.
AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO, UH, TO SET OUT AN ORDINANCE, SET OUT A PLAN FOR A CITY TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IN THREE MONTHS.
SO THIS WOULD GO INTO A FIRST JULY 1ST, 2023 SB 1489 BY THE SENATE GOVERNANCE AND FINANCE COMMITTEE.
UM, I WANNA PAUSE HERE AND GIVE YOUR STAFF A TON OF CREDIT ON THIS BILL.
UM, CITY CLERK AND THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, UH, DID A LOT OF, A LOT OF DIGGING ON THIS, A LOT OF HISTORICAL, UH, DIGGING.
AND, UH, THIS WAS A REALLY AWESOME SUCCESS STORY FOR EVERYONE IN CHINO HILLS.
UM, THIS IS A BILL THAT, UH, ALLOWS THE WAVING OF ORDINANCE TITLES AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AS LONG AS THAT ORDINANCE IS AVAILABLE, BOTH IN PERSON AND ONLINE.
UM, SO REALLY A PRO TRANSPARENCY MEASURE.
UM, AND IT DOES APPLY STATEWIDE TO ALL CITIES.
AND THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT CHINO HILL SPONSORED THIS YEAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET INCLUDED IN A SENATE OMNIBUS BILL, MEANING IT DID NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH, GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC PROCESS ALL THE WAY IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY AGREED UPON THAT THIS WAS GOOD PUBLIC POLICY, HAD NO OPPOSITION.
AND SO IN, IN CERTAIN RARE CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THAT, COMMITTEES WILL PUSH THIS THROUGH, UH, RATHER QUICKLY AND RATHER, UH, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT ANY TORTURE ON WHEN IT COMES TO A NORMAL BILL.
SO THIS IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND IT'S A REALLY,
[00:30:01]
IT'S A REALLY BIG WIN FOR, UH, FOR THE CITY AND LIKE TO THANK YOUR STAFF FOR THAT.UM, PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO HAPPEN IN THE LAST COUPLE, COUPLE MONTHS IN SACRAMENTO IS THE, UH, ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE COVID 19 STATE OF EMERGENCY.
UH, TO OFFICIALLY END, UH, IT'LL BE ALMOST, HE'S ANNOUNCING FEBRUARY 28TH.
UH, IT'LL BE ALMOST THREE YEARS, UH, SINCE THE FIRST STATE OF EMERGENCY WAS ENACTED IN CALIFORNIA.
UM, I'M NOT GONNA GO INTO EVERYTHING THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT MEANS CUZ THERE'S QUITE A BIT THAT THAT MEANS WHEN A STATE OF EMERGENCY COMES DOWN, ESPECIALLY THE COVID 19 ONE.
UM, BUT THE MOST IMPACTFUL ONE TO THE CITY IS LIKELY GONNA BE THE TRANSITION FOR MAYBE 360 1, UH, TO AB 24 49.
UH, WHEN IT COMES TO HOW, UH, CITIES ARE ALLOWED TO CONDUCT THEIR MEETINGS VIRTUALLY OR IN PERSON.
UM, SO AB 360 1 GAVE CITIES THE FLEXIBILITY, AS YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO MEET, UH, VIRTUALLY DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC AS LONG AS THE STATE OF EMERGENCY WAS ACTIVE.
UM, WHEN THAT STATE OF EMERGENCY ENDS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE BILL I'LL TALK ABOUT RIGHT NOW, WILL GO INTO EFFECT IN, IN A HYBRID FLEXIBLE FORMAT.
UM, NOT AS FLEXIBLE AS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WANTED AT THE BEGINNING.
I WILL SAY IT DID GET PAIRED BACK A LITTLE BIT.
UM, BUT THIS NEW BILL AFTER, UH, FEBRUARY 28TH OF NEXT YEAR, WILL ALLOW INDIVIDUAL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO PARTICIPATE REMOTELY UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, AS LONG AS THE MAJORITY OF THE BODY IS MEETING IN PERSON AGAIN.
UM, SO IF YOU REMEMBER PRE COVID, PRE PANDEMIC, IF A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER WANTED TO PARTICIPATE REMOTELY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO DISCLOSE THEIR LOCATION.
UM, YOU'D HAVE TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO COME INTO WHEREVER YOU WERE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE MEETING.
IT WAS UNRULY IN A LOT OF WAYS.
UH, IT MADE COUNCIL MEMBERS NOT WANT TO DO THAT AND NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE.
UM, SO IN, IN THIS NEW HYBRID FORMAT, UM, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT DONE TO MORE THAN 20% OF THE MEETINGS PER YEAR, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO REMOTELY PARTICIPATE FOR JUST CAUSES, UH, OR EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCES.
JUST CAUSES MEANING YOU HAVE AN ILLNESS, YOU DON'T WANNA SPREAD TO OTHERS.
YOU HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WITH AN ILLNESS, YOU HAVE A CHILDCARE ISSUE, UM, YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF MEDICAL ISSUE, UM, SEEMS PRETTY REASONABLE ON THAT.
AND OBVIOUSLY, EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCES ARE SOMETHING THAT CAME UP LAST MINUTE THAT YOU CAN'T, CAN'T HANDLE, BUT JUST CAUSES CAN BE DONE AHEAD OF TIME.
UM, SO IT IS A SMALL WIN, UM, BUT IT IS NOT AS FLEXIBLE AS OTHERS WANT.
I DO EXPECT SOME SORT OF LEGISLATION NEXT YEAR TRYING TO CODIFY CERTAIN STATE OF EMERGENCY PROVISIONS THAT THE GOVERNOR HAD.
UM, WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, HEALTHCARE, UH, PPE PRODUCTION, ET CETERA.
UM, I DO EXPECT THERE TO BE BILLS NEXT YEAR ON THAT.
LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT YEAR, UH, WE HAVE A BRAND NEW LEGISLATURE.
WE HAD A 25% TURNOVER IN THIS ELECTION UP IN SACRAMENTO.
IT'S A VERY, VERY, VERY BIG TURNOVER FOR ONE YEAR IN SACRAMENTO.
UM, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS YET IN TERMS OF, UH, UH, WHAT KIND OF POLICIES WE'RE GONNA GET.
UM, IT'S LOOKING LIKE THE LEG, THE ASSEMBLY AT LEAST, GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE, UM, MAYBE LOSING SOME OF THAT MODERATE CAUCUS THAT HAS BEEN PRETTY STRONG OVER THE PAST.
UM, BUT IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHAT THOSE, THESE NEW LEGISLATORS ARE GONNA HAVE IN STORE FOR US FOR THE NEXT, UH, POTENTIALLY 12 YEARS.
THE ASSEMBLY SPEAKERSHIP BATTLE HAS BEEN PRETTY PUBLIC.
IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING RIGHT NOW IN SACRAMENTO, UM, THROUGH, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR ASSEMBLY MEMBER REVA FROM THE CENTRAL COAST CHALLENGE ASSEMBLY MEMBER ANTHONY RENDON, THE INCUMBENT SPEAKER, UH, FOR THE TITLE, HE LOST THAT BATTLE.
UH, HE CAME AFTER HIM AGAIN A COUPLE WEEKS AGO IN A CAUCUS MEETING.
UM, AND AFTER SIX HOURS IN, IN ASSEMBLY CAUCUS MEETING, UH, ASSEMBLY DEMOCRATS, UH, RETAINED, UH, ANTHONY RENDON AS THE SPEAKER.
HOWEVER, ASSEMBLY MEMBER ROBERT REVA WILL BE THE SPEAKER ELECT.
SO HE WILL BE THE NEXT SPEAKER STARTING IN JULY OF 2023.
UM, SO IT IS A COMPROMISE STARTING MIDYEAR NEXT YEAR, A SEMI MEMBER RVU WILL TAKE OVER.
UM, AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS, IS YET TO BE SEEN.
UM, THE ASSEMBLY SPEAKER HAS A LOT OF POWER IN CALIFORNIA.
THEY CONTROL ALL OF THE, UH, COMMITTEE CHAIRS, ALL OF THE POLICY DIRECTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE, UM, ALL THE OFFICES IN THE, IN THE, IN THE CAPITAL.
SO IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT, UH, SOME MEMBERS SPEAKER ELECT RVU DOES GOING UP TO NEXT YEAR, BUT ALSO WHEN HE ASSUMES THE GAVEL.
UM, AND THEN FINALLY, I'LL SAY IN ON DECEMBER 5TH, THE GOVERNOR HAS CALLED A SPECIAL SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HOME RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY ALL HAVE TO GO BACK DECEMBER 5TH, UH, AND AT LEAST DISCUSS THE GAS PRICE DILEMMA WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW IN CALIFORNIA.
UM, AND, AND, UH, BRAINSTORM SOLUTIONS ON THAT.
IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING HAS TO HAPPEN, BUT IT OPENS THE DOOR FOR LEGISLATION TO BE INTRODUCED AS LONG AS IT'S ABOUT GAS PRICES.
THE GOVERNOR HAS PROPOSED A WINDFALL GAS TAX THAT I'M SURE YOU'VE PROBABLY READ ABOUT.
THAT'S NOT A FOREGONE CONCLUSION.
THE LEGISLATURE STILL NEEDS TO APPROVE THAT, BUT THE GOVERNOR HAS CALLED FOR A WINDFALL TAX ON, ON GAS PRICES.
MEANING IF YOU MAKE OVER A CERTAIN PROFIT MARGIN ON YOUR GAS PRICES, YOU'D HAVE TO BE, YOU HAVE TO PAY A HIGHER TAX RATE ON THAT.
TRANSITIONING TO WASHINGTON, DC BRIEFLY, UM, WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF FISCAL YEAR 2023 APPROPRIATIONS.
UM, YOU'LL REMEMBER LAST YEAR WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING $500,000 FOR THE FUEL MODIFICATION PROJECT THROUGH CONGRESSWOMAN KIM'S OFFICE.
[00:35:01]
COMMITTEE PROJECT FUNDING OPPORTUNITY OPENED AGAIN THIS YEAR.UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF OUR PROJECTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT COMMITTEES, UH, BILLS FOR THE 2023 APPROPRIATIONS.
UM, HOWEVER, WE'RE LOOKING AT NEXT YEAR AS AN OPPORTUNITY.
UM, WE'LL GET TO THE ELECTION IN A SECOND, BUT NOTHING'S GUARANTEED RIGHT NOW WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, EARMARKS IN DC.
UM, THE, THE SENATE IS LIKELY GOING TO KEEP THEM.
THE HOUSE IS STILL DEBATING ON WHETHER OR NOT TO KEEP THEM.
SO, UM, IT COULD BE A POINT OF CONTENTION GOING FORWARD.
UM, AND THEN PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING TO COME OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE THIS YEAR WAS THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT.
UM, THIS IS THE REMAINDER OF, UH, PRESIDENT BIDEN'S, UH, SOCIAL POLICIES THAT HE WANTED TO PASS WHEN HE RAN.
UM, A LOT OF IT HAD TO DO WITH, UH, HEALTHCARE EXTENSIONS AND EXPANSIONS, UM, UH, NATIONWIDE, AS WELL AS RENEWABLE ENERGY AND CLIMATE INCENTIVES.
SEVERAL, SEVERAL, SEVERAL BILLION DOLLARS ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES, CHARGING STATIONS, ET CETERA, UM, TO, TO REALLY GET, UH, OUR, OUR CLIMATE INITIATIVES ON TRACK WITH WHERE HE WANTED THEM.
UM, AND THEN ALL OF IT WILL BE PAID FOR, UH, BY CLOSING CERTAIN TAX LOOPHOLES, UM, THAT THE ADMINISTRATION HAS WANTED TO CLOSE FOR SOME TIME.
SO IT WAS A, A WIN FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY, UM, WERE ABLE TO GET THAT SOCIAL AGENDA OF THEIRS PASSED.
AND THEN LOOKING AHEAD, UM, THE ELECTION OUTCOMES, NOTHING CERTIFIED, I WILL SAY.
I'M JUST GONNA THROW THAT OUT THERE.
UM, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE THE, UH, DEMOCRATS WILL MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE SENATE.
THEY HAVE 50, UH, 50 SEATS RIGHT NOW, 49 REPUBLICAN SEATS, ONE RUNOFF NEXT MONTH.
UM, IF THE DEMOCRATS WIN THAT RUNOFF, THEY'LL HAVE 51, UH, WHERE THEY CAN LOSE A VOTE ON CERTAIN ITEMS. AND, AND NOT, AND NOT WORRY.
BUT IF THEY, IF THEY DO LOSE THAT ELECTION IN GEORGIA, IT WILL BE 50 50 WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT BEING THE, THE TYRE VOTE LIKE WE HAVE NOW.
UM, SO NOTHING WOULD CHANGE, UH, IN THE HOUSE SIDE.
UH, THE REPUBLICANS HAVE TAKEN THE HOUSE, THE MARGIN IS YET TO BE DETERMINED.
IT'S LIKELY TO BE PRETTY SMALL, MAYBE ANYWHERE BETWEEN FOUR AND SEVEN SEATS, UM, WHICH IN A CHAMBER THAT BIG IS NOT, NOT THAT MANY.
UM, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE, UH, UH, SIGNIFICANT WHEN IT COMES TO THE POLICIES WE SEE COMING OUT OF DC.
YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT MORE BIPARTISANSHIP, A LOT MORE COMPROMISE, UM, LEADERSHIP CHANGES.
UH, AEL MEMBER, KEVIN, OR EXCUSE ME, CONGRESSMAN, CONGRESSMAN, UH, OR SPEAKER, SPEAKER ELECT, EXCUSE ME, UH, MCCARTHY FROM CALIFORNIA WILL, WILL LIKELY BE THE NEW SPEAKER IN, UH, IN THE HOUSE, WHICH IS GONNA BE A BIG, A BIG DEPARTURE FROM WHAT WE'VE HAD THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.
SO, UH, IT'LL BE A LOT OF CHANGES, A LOT OF CHANGES BOTH IN SACRAMENTO AND DC.
UM, AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE BUDGET NEXT YEAR IN, IN, IN DC WE DON'T KNOW YET IN TERMS, IN TERMS OF EARMARKS AND, UH, OTHER APPROPRIATIONS GOING DOWN TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
SO, WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WOULD YOU MIND KIND OF JUST WALKING US THROUGH, UH, SINCE WE JUST GOT DONE WITH OUR ELECTION AND I KNOW WE JUST HAD REDISTRICTING, I GUESS, WHAT OUR NEW LEGISLATIVE, UM, OUR NEW LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVES LOOK LIKE.
SO, AND THE, I'LL START WITH THE, I'LL START WITH CALIFORNIA AND THE ASSEMBLY.
UM, ASSEMBLY MEMBER PHILLIP, JEN DID NOT HAVE A OPPONENT.
UM, SO YOU'LL CONTINUE TO BE IN HIS DISTRICT.
EVEN, EVEN HIS NEW REDISTRICTED DISTRICT STILL INCLUDES YOU, UM, IN THE SENATE, UM, ASSEMBLY MEMBER KELLY SCIO WON THE SENATE SEAT, UM, FOR THAT.
SO YOU'LL BE REPRESENTED BY NOW SENATOR SCIO.
UM, HIS DISTRICT IS QUITE LARGE.
IT GOES FROM YOU GUYS ALMOST DOWN TO THE MEXICO BORDER.
WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON WITH ANGA.
UM, I GOT A QUESTION PERTAINING TO THE STATE SENATE.
UH, JOSH NEWMAN DID GET ELECTED A COUPLE YEARS AGO, SO HIS TERM GOES TO 2024 HERE.
ALSO, HOWEVER, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
UM, I CAN'T, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR SENATOR NEWMAN'S OFFICE, BUT I DID SPEAK TO ANOTHER SENATOR'S OFFICE LAST WEEK WHO TOLD ME THAT THE SENATE POLICY, UH, YOU KNOW, THE SERGEANT OF ARMS WHO CONTROLS DISTRICTS, ESPECIALLY ORPHAN DISTRICTS, UM, LET THEM KNOW THAT SINCE THE SENATOR WAS ELECTED IN YOUR DISTRICT, THAT SENATOR NEWMAN WILL NO LONGER, UH, WILL NO LONGER DO ANY CONSTITUENT SERVICES IN YOUR COMMUNITY SINCE YOU DO HAVE ONE NOW.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? INTERESTING.
AND I DON'T, SO KELLY WILL BE THE SENATOR.
HE GOT ELECTED, UH, YOU KNOW, THIS MONTH, BUT I, I DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT.
AND MAYBE EVERY OFFICE IS DIFFERENT, BUT THE OFFICE I WAS TALKING TO LAST WEEK SAID THAT THEY HAVE TAKEN AWAY THEIR OTHER ZONES THAT THEY WERE ELECTED IN TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE THEY ELECTED A NEW ONE.
HE HAD EXPRESSED INTEREST IN CONTINUING TO REPRESENT US, CO REPRESENT US FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
THAT WAS HIS HOPE AND INTENTION.
I, I KNOW SENATOR NEWMAN PRETTY WELL.
AND THEN ON THE CONGRESSIONAL SIDE, AND THEN, YEAH, THEN TO FINISH ON THE CONGRESSIONAL SIDE, THE MAJORITY OF YOUR CITY, I DON'T REMEMBER THE NUMBERS, BUT I WANNA SAY 80% IS, WILL BE REPRESENTED BY CONGRESSWOMAN, YOUNG KIM STILL, AND THEN THE 20% WILL BE NEW TO THE CITY OF CONGRESSWOMAN OR NOT TORRES, WHO'S BEEN ON YOUR BORDER THE WHOLE TIME, BUT HAS NEVER REPRESENTED THE CITY OFFICIALLY.
BUT I THINK SHE HAS THAT EASTERN, I THINK IT'S 20% OF AT LEAST POPULATION ON THE, ON THE EASTERN SIDE.
[00:40:01]
THAT WAS ALL I ANSWER.HOW ABOUT YOU, MARK? WELL, SHE ACTUALLY GOES RIGHT IN AND CUTS OUT A PORTION OF DISTRICT THREE, WHICH IS, I, I'LL SAY IT'S MY DISTRICT, UH, FROM EUCALYPTUS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO CHINO HILLS PARKWAY AND FROM PEYTON ALL THE WAY OVER TO PIPELINE.
SO IT'S KIND OF A UNIQUE SPLIT UP.
SO, BUT SHE MET WITH US EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND SHE PLEDGES TO, TO HAVE A GOOD BIPARTISAN REPRESENTATION OF OUR CITY.
I THINK IT'S BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY TO HAVE THE BIPARTISAN REPRESENTATION, TO BE HONEST.
AND THEN YOU HAVE NO QUESTIONS? I'M GOOD.
WELL, I, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ON HOUSING.
UM, WHY MOST OF THE BILLS THAT WERE PASSED WERE BASICALLY HAD RELATING TO HOUSING.
WHY IS HOUSING SUCH A BIG ISSUE? CAN YOU SORT OF GO INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT?
UM, I, I, I THINK HOUSING'S A BIG ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST PUBLIC ISSUE, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE SEE HOMELESSNESS EVERY DAY ON OUR STREETS.
WELL, LET ME HELP YOU REAL FAST.
THERE'S A SHORTAGE OF 1.3 MILLION OR 1.3 MILLION HOMES THAT NEED TO BE BUILT SUPPOSEDLY IN THIS AREA, IN THE REGION OF S SCAG MM-HMM.
AND THEN AS FAR AS ADUS AND SB UH, NINE, WHAT, WHAT WAS THE ISSUE, UH, LIKE BY RIGHT OR CITIES DON'T REALLY HAVE A SAY SO BECAUSE OF ZONING, RIGHT.
AND ARE, ARE WE CONCERNED ABOUT AB 2011 FOR THE SAME REASONS? THAT'S RIGHT.
AND THAT'S THE EXACT AB 2011 PASSED FOR THE SAME REASONS SB NINE PASSED IN THAT, UM, THERE'S A, A DIALOGUE OUT THERE, UH, BY, UH, BY YB HAVE PRO HOUSING SUPPORTERS, THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE THE BOTTLENECK FOR WHY HOUSING IS NOT BEING BUILT.
UM, NOT SAYING IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NOT TRUE, I DON'T BELIEVE, BUT THAT'S THEIR, THAT'S THEIR MANTRA.
SO IN ORDER TO GET AROUND THAT, THEY ARE SHOVING BY RIGHT INTO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, TAKING AWAY LAND USE CONTROL.
UM, SO CITIES DO NOT HAVE OPTIONS ANYMORE OF WHETHER OR NOT TO, UH, DENY HOUSING PROJECTS OR EVEN, UH, YOU KNOW, MINISTERIALLY, UH, HAVE DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL OR REVIEW OR CUPS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S A, IT'S BEEN A THEME FOR THE LAST FIVE TO 10 YEARS.
NOW THAT SACRAMENTO'S COMING DOWN PRETTY HARD WHEN IT COMES TO REMOVING THOSE, UH, OPTIONS THAT CITIES HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING A, A CHOICE OF WHERE HOUSING GOES.
AND BECAUSE OF THAT 1.3 UNITS THAT YOU MENTIONED, THEY ARE JUST, UH, TRYING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO INCREASE THAT SUPPLY, UH, WHETHER IT'S WITH ADUS LOT SPLITS, UH, GOING INTO COMMERCIAL ZONES LIKE AB 2011, THEY'RE TRYING EVERYTHING THAT THERE IS TO TRY WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING MORE HOUSING.
IT IS REAL QUICK TOO, REGARDING THE ARENA.
UM, OUR LAST CYCLE, UM, WE ONLY HAD TO ZONE FOR RIGHT AROUND 800 UNITS, APPROXIMATELY, JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.
THIS CYCLE, I BELIEVE IS 37 29.
AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE CITY DOESN'T WANT.
UM, BUT WE HAVE TO ZONE FOR IT.
AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PROPOSITION OUT THERE TRYING TO TAKE BACK LOCAL CONTROL.
UM, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS CALLED, THE NEIGHBORHOOD VOICE, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS TO MOVE FORWARD, CAN YOU KEEP US IN TUNE WITH THAT? HAPPY TO.
THAT'S A, THAT'S A TOPIC OF, OF, UH, INTEREST TO, UH, ALL OF OUR CITIES STATEWIDE.
UM, I BELIEVE THAT MEASURE DIDN'T QUALIFY.
IT'S PRETTY EXPENSIVE TO QUALIFY ABOUT MEASURE THESE DAYS, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY HAD THE FUNDING THEY NEEDED TO, UH, TO GET IT ON.
BUT IT COULD BE ONE OF THE ONES THAT DO WELL, IF IT DOES GET ON, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE QUALIFIED FOR THE BALLOT.
AND THE GIST OF THAT BASICALLY IS TAKING BACK LOCAL CONTROL FROM SACRAMENTO.
IT TOLD SACRAMENTO THAT LOCAL LAW, LOCAL LAND USE LAWS SUPERSEDED THEIR LAWS.
SO WHATEVER YOU GUYS WANTED HERE, YOU KNOW, SUPERSEDED THEM.
AT THE NEXT MEETING, GIVE US SOME MONEY.
[6. PRESENTATION - Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce - Accomplishments 2022]
IS FROM THE CHINO VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2 20 22 TO BE PRESENTED BY Z ZIP WELLBORN.DO I HAVE LIKE A CLICKER UP HERE SOMEWHERE? THIS ONE, RIGHT?
UH, SO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND PRESENT TODAY.
UH, TODAY I WANTED TO COVER A COUPLE OF THINGS.
UH, I WANTED TO, OR I WAS ASKED TO COVER A COUPLE THINGS.
UH, ONE OF THEM IS OUR UPSKILL CHINO VALUE, WHICH YOU'VE GOT SIGNIFICANT FUNDING FOR.
ONE OF 'EM IS WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE CHINO VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LOOKS LIKE.
I WANNA HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE VALUE THAT WE'RE BRINGING TO CHINO HILLS AND THE RESIDENTS OF CHINO HILLS IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND THEN HOW, HOW THE CITY CAN GET MORE INVOLVED IN THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.
UH, SO, UH, WHAT IS OUR UPSKILL CHINO VALLEY PROGRAM? UH, ESSENTIALLY IT'S, IT'S SUPPORT PRONGED APPROACH.
IT'S ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT, IT'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, IT'S WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND IT'S LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT.
SO WE TOOK THAT, UH, A PLAN IN PLACE.
UH, WE SUBMITTED IT TO A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS, OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY, OUR LEGISLATORS, UH,
[00:45:01]
ORGANIZATIONS.UH, AND SO AS A RESULT, WE SECURED MORE THAN 2.2 MILLION OF FUNDING FOR THE CHIN VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO PURSUE THESE PROGRAMS. UH, SO, SO I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT.
AND, AND THEY GAVE ME 10 MINUTES.
SO I'M GONNA TRY TO DO THIS QUICKLY, BUT ALSO COVER EVERYTHING.
UH, SO OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES, THIS IS A SAMPLE OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO WITH OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.
UH, SO WE'VE SECURED MORE THAN $50,000 OF FUNDING FOR BUSINESSES IN THE CHIN VALLEY WITH THE, ON-THE-JOB TRAINING FOR, FROM SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
UH, SO IT'S A PROGRAM THAT THEY OFFER, BUT OUR BUSINESSES JUST AREN'T AWARE OF IT.
WE'RE HELPING MAKE SURE THAT OUR BUSINESSES ARE AWARE OF THESE PROGRAMS. UH, SO WE'VE SECURED THAT AMOUNT OF FUNDING FOR NINE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES ACROSS CHINO, CHINO HILLS.
FIVE OUTTA NINE OF THOSE ARE FROM CHINO HILLS.
WE'VE ALSO PLACED MORE THAN A HUNDRED PEOPLE IN JOBS.
AND, AND KEEP IN MIND, WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY OF THAT FUNDING YET.
SO WE HAVE THE $2 MILLION THAT IS ON THE WAY.
WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY OF THIS STUFF YET.
SO THIS IS ALL STUFF THAT WE'RE DOING BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND IMPORTANT TO OUR, UH, COMMUNITY AT LARGE.
SO WE PLACED MORE THAN A HUNDRED PEOPLE IN JOBS.
UH, WE HAVE HELD A JOB FAIR AND CAREER EXPOS THROUGHOUT THE LAST YEAR.
ONE OF THOSE WAS AT CHINO HILLS COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO THANK YOU FOR LETTING US DO IT THERE.
UM, WE HAD 267 PARTICIPANTS, 33 EMPLOYERS, 10 PEOPLE FOUND JOBS ON THE SPOT THAT DAY.
THE FIRST ONE WE DID, WE HAD 40 PEOPLE FIND THE JOB ON THAT DAY.
UH, SO WE'RE, AND THEN WE'RE HOSTING OUR UPCOMING JOB FAIR ON JANUARY 26TH AT THE CHIN HILLS COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO WE'RE HELPING PEOPLE FIND JOBS LOCALLY THROUGH OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, BUT THAT'S IN THE SHORT TERM.
UH, WE WANT TO DEVELOP LONG TERM PROGRAMMING BECAUSE THERE IS GONNA BE A, I MEAN, THERE IS ALREADY A WORKFORCE SHORTAGE, WHICH WE'RE AWARE OF WITH ALL THE, UH, HELP WANTED SIGNS, BUT WE KNOW THAT THAT'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.
UH, SO WE WANT TO CREATE PLANS TO HELP, UH, MITIGATE THAT MOVING FORWARD FOR OUR COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY.
UH, SO WITH THAT, WE HAVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP, UH, DEVELOPMENT.
SO, JUST THIS COUPLE WEEKS AGO, A COUPLE WEEKENDS AGO, WE DID OUR PITCH COMPETITION, UH, WHERE WE ARE ENCOURAGING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO PRESENT THEIR ENTREPRENEURIAL IDEA.
WE HAVE A PANEL OF JUDGES, SO WE'RE CONNECTING OUR BUSINESSES WITH OUR YOUTH TO GET THEM EXPOSED TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE HERE LOCALLY.
SO WE'VE DONE THAT FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, GIVEN OUT $5,000 IN SEED FUNDING FOR THESE YOUNG FLEDGLING BUSINESSES.
WE'VE ALSO CREATED INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS.
UH, SO WE'VE CREATED 72 DIFFERENT INTERNSHIP PATHWAYS, UH, FOR STUDENTS IN CHINO, IN CHINO HILLS.
UH, WE'VE PLACED 22 RECENTLY IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRIES ACROSS THE CHINO VALLEY.
UH, SO THIS GIVES STUDENTS REAL WORLD APPLICATION, UH, IN LOCAL JOBS, SO THAT WHEN THEY DO GRADUATE, THAT THEY HAVE A PATHWAY TO SEE IF THAT'S A CAREER THAT THEY WANT, AND ALSO ACCESS THE BUSINESSES HERE LOCALLY SO THAT THOSE BUSINESSES CAN HIRE AND BRING THOSE STUDENTS, UH, IN AS FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES.
AND THEN WE ALSO POST, PUT TOGETHER OUR KIDS' ENTREPRENEURSHIP FAIR.
SO WE HAD 79 PARTICIPANTS THIS LAST YEAR, UH, FROM STUDENTS ACROSS THE CHINO VALLEY, UH, MOST SPECIFICALLY FROM CHINO HILLS SCHOOLS.
UH, AND, AND THAT WAS EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL AT THE SA HILLS.
UH, ALSO, WE WANNA DO THAT FOR ADULTS.
SO WE HAVE WORKSHOPS THAT WE'RE PUTTING ON BUSINESS WORKSHOPS FOR OUR ADULT POPULATION, MAKING SURE THAT OUR BUSINESSES BECOME MORE AND MORE SUCCESSFUL OVER TIME.
WHEN I STARTED ATTENDING THE CHAMBER, WE HAD MAYBE FIVE TO 10, UH, ATTENDEES AT THIS, AND THIS WAS BACK 10 YEARS AGO.
WE'VE GROWN THAT TO MORE THAN 50 ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
WE'RE ALSO PLANNING IN 2023 WITH THE FUNDING WE'VE RECEIVED TO HOST MORE BUSINESS TRAINING WORKSHOPS FOR DURING THE MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON OR EVENING HOURS TO ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT SCHEDULES.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO CREATING OPPORTUNITIES WITH BUSINESSES TO MENTOR EACH OTHER TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR BUSINESSES.
ON THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FRONT, WE JUST STARTED A LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
SO WE KICKED THIS OFF AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS LAST, UH, BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER.
UH, WE KICKED IT OFF AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER.
UH, WE HAD 25 PARTICIPANTS FROM, UH, INDUSTRIES ACROSS THE REGION, LOGISTICS, MANUFACTURING, POLICE, FIRE, MEDICAL GOVERNMENT, JUST EDUCATION, NONPROFITS, THE PROMOTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, UH, UTILITIES, HOSPITALITY, AND ENTERTAINMENT.
WE'RE ALSO PLANNING ON PUTTING TOGETHER A COMMUNITY PROJECT TO SERVICE THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THIS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM.
THE MAIN VALUE IS, IS WE'RE BRINGING LEADERS WHO ARE IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS ACROSS THE CHINO VALLEY TO CONNECT THEM, TO HELP BUILD STRONGER LEADERS SO THAT WE CAN HELP RETAIN TALENT, KEEP PEOPLE HERE, UH, MOTIVATED AND EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK WE'RE DOING IN CHINO AND CHINO HILLS.
WE'VE ALSO INTEGRATED A STUDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM WITH THAT.
SO WE HAVE 20 STUDENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP AND REGISTERED FOR THAT.
THOSE ARE GONNA BE ATTENDING SIX WORKSHOP SESSIONS IN ARTS, PUBLIC SAFETY, ENGINEERING, DESIGN, MEDICAL EDUCATION, AND UTILITIES.
WE'RE ALSO HOSTING REGULAR WORKSHOPS AT SCHOOL SITES, UH, WHERE WE'RE BRINGING IN BUSINESS OWNERS TO TALK TO YOUTH ABOUT BEING A BUSINESS OWNER OR ABOUT THEIR SPECIFIC, SPECIFIC FIELD IN BUSINESS OR TEACHING SOFT SKILLS SO THAT OUR STUDENTS IN SHEET VALUE UNIFIED OR PREPARED FOR THE WORK OF TOMORROW.
UH, ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SIDE, WE'VE PUT TOGETHER THESE ROUNDS, TABLE DISCUSSIONS, AND JUST A COUPLE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT COME OUTTA THESE.
WITH EACH ROUND TABLE, WE'RE BRINGING IN LIKE-MINDED BUSINESSES, AND WE WANT TO HAVE ACTION ITEMS THAT THE CHAMBER CAN FACILITATE WHEN IT COMES OUT OF THOSE SESSIONS.
SO ONE OF THE ONES WE HAD WAS CHINO VALLEY MEDICAL.
THEY WANTED TO, UH, INVITE NURSES FROM OUT OF STATE TO COME TO OUR AREA.
SO WE WANTED TO PUT TOGETHER A RESOURCE PAGE THAT THEY COULD USE.
[00:50:01]
TOGETHER A RESOURCE PAGE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF COMING TO CHINO, UH, THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY.AND WE'RE CONNECTING THEM WITH, UH, WE'RE SENDING THAT WITH CHINO VALLEY UNIFIED, BUT WE'VE COLLABORATED WITH A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT GROUPS, INCLUDING THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS, TO HELP PUT THAT INFORMATION TOGETHER.
UH, WE'VE WRITTEN LETTERS OF SUPPORT FOR BUSINESSES THAT HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT SPECIFIC PIECES OF LEGISLATION.
UH, SO AB 2 57 IS ONE FOR FRANCHISE BUSINESSES.
SO ANY BUSINESSES THAT HAS A FRANCHISE, WE'VE HELPED SUPPORT THOSE BUSINESSES.
WE HAVE ACTION ITEMS THAT CAME OUTTA OUTTA THAT.
UH, AND THEN, UH, ONE WE HAD WITH, UH, MAYOR MARQUE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE ISSUES WHEN IT COMES TO A NEW BUSINESS, STARTING MAKING SURE THIS IS EASY AND ACCESSIBLE AS POSSIBLE.
UH, SO WE HAVE MORE BUSINESSES WANTING TO COME AND, UH, OPERATE HERE.
AND THEN ALSO WE'RE DOING A SURVEY DATA COLLECTION, UH, FROM OUR BUSINESSES, FROM OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, AND FROM, UH, OUR JOB SEEKERS.
SO THE NEXT THING IS WE HAVE IS, IS THE, THE FUNDING THAT WE GOT.
BUT WHEN WE PROPOSED THIS, IT WAS OVER A SEVEN YEAR WINDOW.
UH, SO THAT THAT WAY WE CAN MAKE THIS SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMMING.
UH, SO THE FUNDING DOESN'T LAST FOREVER, BUT WHEN YOU BREAK UP 2 MILLION OVER A SEVEN YEARS, UH, WITH THE SCOPE OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, IT REALLY DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR MUCH.
UH, AND SO, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO, TO POINT OUT.
BUT HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF THE TYPES OF PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER.
IT'S JOB REFERRALS AND PLACEMENT SERVICES, PUTTING PEOPLE INTO JOBS.
UH, IT'S JOB FAIRS, IT'S A DATABASE COLLECTION.
IT'S OUR BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION, INCLUDING THOSE ROUND TABLES, BUSINESS OUTREACH SURVEYS IN OUR COMMUNITY, UH, OUR LEADERSHIP COLLABORATIVE, UH, WORKING ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, WORKING WITH OUR YOUTH, DEVELOPING YOUTH PROGRAMMING, AND THEN THE KIND OF, UH, ASSEMBLIES THAT GO ALONG WITH IT.
BUT IF YOU KIND OF LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, I MEAN, WE'RE DOING, WE'RE GONNA BE DOING TONS OF EVENTS TO SUPPORT THESE, WHICH MEANS WE'RE SUPPORTING TONS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
AND THE COST PER, UH, PARTICIPANTS IN THESE PROGRAMS IS SIGNIFICANT, IS MINUTE WHEN YOU COMPARE THE VALUE THAT THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF THIS, THE VALUE THAT THE CITY IS GETTING OUT OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.
SO THAT'S KIND OF LIKE THE SCOPE OF ALL THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR UPSCALE CHINO VALUE PROGRAM.
THIS IS WHAT THE FUTURE LOOKS LIKE.
SO WHAT I FEEL LIKE IS WE PUT THE ICEBERG PICTURE THERE IS, CUZ REALLY THIS IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, THERE IS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHAMBERS, OR I'LL SAY OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ALSO FOR COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS AROUND, UH, BETTER JOB INITIATIVES.
THERE IS LOTS OF FUNDING COMING OUT FOR BETTER JOBS INITIATIVES.
AND THERE'S NO BETTER, THERE'S NO BETTER ORGANIZATION IS POSITIONED TO HELP FACILITATE THIS TYPE OF WORK BETTER THAN A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
BECAUSE WE'RE CONNECTED WITH OUR BUSINESSES, WE'RE ENGAGED WITH OUR BUSINESSES, AND WE'RE CREATING OPPORTUNITIES TO BRING OUR BUSINESSES TO THE TABLE OF OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
SO WE CAN PREPARE OUR YOUTH FOR THE JOBS OF TOMORROW, UH, BUT ALSO PREPARE PEOPLE WHO ARE UPSKILLING THEIR SKILLS.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE STATS THAT THEY PUT OUT IS 75 TO 80% OF, SO MY SON'S SEVEN YEARS OLD, 75 TO 80% OF THE JOBS WHEN HE GRADUATES AREN'T IN EXISTENCE YET.
WHICH MEANS THAT OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS NEED TO ACT REALLY QUICKLY, ESPECIALLY WITH SMALL BUSINESSES.
UH, SO THE FACT IS, WE CAN BRING SMALL BUSINESSES TO THE TABLE TO HELP CREATE A PLAN THAT'S GONNA PREPARE THESE KIDS FOR THE JOBS OF THE FUTURE SO THAT WHEN OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPS AND GROWS, THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE SKILLED TO RUN, UH, OUR COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE THAT IT STAYS STRONG AND VIBRANT FOR THE FOR FORESEE FUTURE.
SO HERE'S SOME EXAMPLES OF LIKE THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT THAT THE CHAMBER PROVIDES AS PROVIDED THROUGH THE PROGRAMMING THAT WE'RE OFFERING.
NUMBER ONE, WE HAVE JOB SECRETS.
PEOPLE IN CHINO HILLS ARE FINDING JOBS THROUGH THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.
UH, SO THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT OF WORK, ABLE TO FIND JOBS, GOOD PAYING JOBS IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
UH, AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THOSE IS MARISSA WILLIAMS. SHE, UH, WAS HIRED BY SERVPRO AT ONE OF OUR JOB FAIRS.
SHE'S NOW PROMOTED TO ONE OF THE SALES MANAGERS.
SHE'S NOW THE SALES MANAGER AT TAILORED SPACE, WHICH RUNS THEIR SERVE PRO LOCATION.
UH, SO SHE IS HELPING FACILITATE THAT.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF BUSINESS GROWTH, WE HAVE A LOT OF THEM, BUT I THINK THE ONE THAT WE WANT TO HAVE ON THERE WAS A PAUSE FOR SUCCESS.
UH, WE HAVE HELPED THEM FIND STAFF AND EMPLOYEES TO HELP EXPAND AND GROW THEIR BUSINESS, UH, BUSINESS RETENTION STANDPOINT.
JAN MARGARITA FROM INFUSION JONES, SHE SHARED THIS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT SHE SAID, BASICALLY SAID THAT SHE WOULD HAVE GONE OUT OF BUSINESS HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE CHAMBER.
UH, SO WE'RE HELPING BUSINESSES STAY AFLOAT, ESPECIALLY DURING THE PANDEMIC.
AND THEN LASTLY, BUSINESS EXPANSION.
WE ARE HELPING BRING BUSINESSES AND WHEN THEY DO COME, HELPING THEM BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR COMMUNITY.
TAILORED SPACE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT.
YOU HAVE THESE LARGE CORPORATIONS, THEY DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE, THEY CHECK INTO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
AND, AND PART OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING IS BUILDING A STRONG, VIBRANT BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT PEOPLE WANTS TO COME TO.
UH, I KIND OF WANNA POINT OUT LIKE JUST IN COMPARISON, LIKE, UH, WHAT OTHER CITIES INVEST IN THEIR CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE? AND SO THERE'S, UH, I, I'VE SHARED THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT THIS IS KIND OF WHERE, UH, I, YOU KNOW, THIS IS MY ASK I GUESS
[00:55:01]
YOU'D SAY.IF YOU LOOK AT A BOTTOM KEY THERE, THERE'S ECONOMIC, THERE'S, UH, THESE CHAMBERS ARE GETTING FUNDING FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WORK FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS, PROMOTION AND MARKETING LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS, WORKFORCE, JOB TRAINING, TOURISM, PROMOTION, VISITOR CENTERS, ALL THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS.
SO YOU CAN SEE ON A CHECKLIST ALL OF THE THINGS THAT MOST ORGANIZATIONS GET FUNDING FOR.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT, I MEAN, UH, IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN WHAT SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES ARE, UH, ARE, ARE BEING SUPPORTIVE THROUGH THEIR CHAMBER.
AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE INVESTING IN IN BEING OF SERVICE OR, OR SUPPORTING THE ORGANIZATION.
IT'S A RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR THEM.
THEY'RE INVESTING IN THESE OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT FUNDING IS GONNA COME BACK WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT I JUST MENTIONED IN THE LAST SLIDE.
AND SO, WHEN YOU'RE INVESTING IN A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, IT'S A, IT'S AN INVESTMENT IN GROWTH.
IT'S AN INVESTMENT, IT'S A STRONG TERM RETURN ON INVESTMENT WHEN YOU'VE PUT THOSE FUNDINGS INTO YOUR BUSINESS TO COMMUNITY BECAUSE YOU'RE PROVIDING TAX DOLLARS BACK TO YOUR, BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY.
AND HERE, THOSE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE OTHER LOCAL CHAMBERS AND YOU CAN SEE THE XS OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS THAT THEY GET FUNDING FOR.
REALLY THE ONLY THING THAT WE GET SUPPORT FOR IS OUR FOR, FOR OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS, WHICH WE HOST, WHICH WE LOVE.
UH, I THINK I MENTIONED, I'M BORN AND RAISED CHINO HILLS, SO I'M VERY, UH, PROUD OF THIS CITY.
I'M VERY PROUD TO BE IN THE POSITION I'M IN TO HELP LEAD OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
BUT I ALSO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADVOCATING AS BEST WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS AS STRONG AS DYNAMIC AS POSSIBLE.
AND I FEEL LIKE WE ARE DELIVERING ON VERY SUCCESSFUL THINGS IN OUR COMMUNITY, MAKING SURE THAT OUR BUSINESSES ARE SUCCESSFUL AND STAYING HERE.
AND I WANNA ADVOCATE FOR THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.
I DID WANNA HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT OUR CHAMBER, UH, YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, UH, WE ARE, WE'VE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE TOP CHAMBERS IN THE COUNTRY, JUST SPEAKING HUMBLY ABOUT IT.
BUT WE HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, IN 2020 WHERE I WAS NAMED OUTSTANDING CITIZEN OF THE YEAR FOR THE WORK THAT WE DID WITH OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY, UH, DURING THE PANDEMIC.
AND THEN OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST FEW YEARS, WE, I'VE BEEN IDENTIFIED ON A NATIONAL SCALE.
AND IT'S NOT JUST ME, IT'S A STAFF THAT WE'RE BRINGING IT AT THE CHAMBER.
RENEE MADE IT JUST YESTERDAY WAS RECOGNIZED AS A TOP 40, UNDER 40 EMERGING LEADERS IN THE COUNTRY.
UH, WE BOTH GOT PICKED UP FOR THIS BUSINESS LEADS FELLOWSHIP, WHICH IS WORKING ON WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES ACROSS THE COUNTRY BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A BIG ISSUE.
AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, CHIN VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND BOTH OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS, THERE'S THESE PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, WHICH THEY'RE BOTH EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR, UH, SCALABILITY AND EXPANSION, NOT JUST ACROSS THE REGION, BUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
BECAUSE THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING IS INNOVATIVE.
UH, NOT SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE HAVE DONE.
WE'VE DONE A LOT OF VERY SUCCESSFUL THINGS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
SO I WANNA HIGHLIGHT THOSE THINGS.
I THINK THE MAIN THING THAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH IS, IS THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, HOW CAN THE CITY GET INVOLVED IN THIS? WE, WE'VE SUBMITTED A PROPOSAL FOR OUR UPSKILL VALLEY PROGRAM.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE SUPPORT, UH, CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE WAY THAT I INDICATED THAT OTHER CHAMBERS GET INVOLVED IN THEIR CITIES.
MOSTLY BECAUSE WE'RE PROVIDING THE VALUE.
AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE PROVIDE A SUCCESSFUL VALUE INTO THE FUTURE.
SO THAT WAS OUR PRESENTATION OF ALL THE WORK THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AT THE CHINO VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND OUR, UH, OUR SUCCESSES FOR THE YEAR.
AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ZEB, DO YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF, UH, DIRECTORS AND, UH, BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE? UH, CAN YOU HAVE THEM STAND UP AND BE RECOGNIZED AND ALSO YOUR STAFF? OF COURSE.
SO, SO, UH, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, IF YOU COULD DO ME A FAVOR, STAND UP JUST SO THAT I CAN, UH, SO WE HAVE JEFF BCCA FROM ULTIMATE SOURCE.
REGGIE THOMAS FROM PEAK POTENTIAL.
WE HAVE JIM GALLAGHER FROM DOG PARK FOR CHIN HILLS NONPROFIT.
AND THEN, UH, ON THE STAFF SIDE, WE HAVE SANDY GRAHAM, WHO HAS OUR MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR, AND NICOLE TABBA WHO, UH, SHE, WE JUST DID HER THREE MONTH EVALUATION.
SO SHE'S THE ONE THAT PUTS TOGETHER THE KIDS ENTREPRENEURSHIP FAIR, THE PITCH COMPETITION, THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS, AND HAS DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB WITH THAT.
WE HAVE A VERY TALENTED TEAM THAT DO GREAT WORK, AND WE JUST WANT TO SEE IT CONTINUE INTO THE FUTURE.

I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN BY SAYING, UH, GOOD EVENING TO EVERYBODY HERE, THE, THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, AS WELL AS THE AUDIENCE
[01:00:01]
I'VE SPOKEN TO, UH, MOST OF YOU GUYS ALREADY, BUT THOSE I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO.I AM A SOPHOMORE IN CHINO HILLS HIGH SCHOOL.
AND, UM, I, I WORK WITH MY SIBLINGS IN A BUSINESS CALLED CI CITY.
I WANT TO BECOME A ACCOUNTANT.
UH, I WANT TO GET MY MAJOR IN ACCOUNTING, OR MY DEGREE IN ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE.
I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON MY ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE AND HAVE A 4.32 GPA.
I'M A DUAL SPORT ATHLETE IN TENNIS AND SOCCER, AND I AM ALSO AN ENTREPRENEUR.
UH, MY LATEST ENTREPRENEURIAL IDEA HAS BEEN CITRUS CITY.
UH, IT'S A BUSINESS WHERE WE COLLECT, UH, FRUITS, ORGANIC FRUITS FROM THE COMMUNITY, AND WE REDISTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY.
IT RETAINS MONEY INSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY, UH, AND IT, IT PROMOTES A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE.
IT, IT HELPS, UH, LOCAL TREE OWNERS, LOCAL HOMEOWNERS TO, TO GET A LOT OF EXTRA CASH IN.
UM, AND IT, IT HAS A LOT OF BUSINESS POTENTIAL.
UH, I WORK WITH MY BROTHER AND SISTER, AND WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT THE PITCH COMPETITION, UH, IT WAS, IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR MY SIBLINGS AND I TO WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE A PITCH AND PRESENTATION THAT WOULD APPEAL TO INVESTORS.
WE WERE SUPPLIED WITH OUR OWN MENTOR WHO COULD HELP US AND GUIDE US THROUGH THESE STEPS OF PREPARING A PRESENTATION.
I LEARNED HOW TO WORK WITH EXCEL, WORK WITH NUMBERS THAT WERE RELEVANT TO INVESTORS, UH, AND AT THE VENUE ITSELF, I WAS ABLE TO MEET MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO COULD HELP ME WITH MY BUSINESS.
I MET MS. KING WITH CHARLENE KING AND MR. FLORES, WHO WORKED WITH ISAIAH'S ROCK, WHICH IS A FOOD, UH, A FOOD SHELTER, UH, THAT DONATES FOOD TO PEOPLE THAT NEED IT.
WE WANNA PARTNER WITH THEM SO WE COULD, UH, GIVE OUR EXCESS FRUIT TO THEM.
AND OVERALL, THIS, UH, THE PITCH COMPETITION HAS BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL FOR MY COMPANY.
AND I, UH, WE ALSO RECEIVE PRIZE MONEY, OBVIOUSLY.
UH, AND I THINK THIS, THIS PITCH COMPETITION IS A GREAT WAY TO GET YOUNG ADULTS LIKE MYSELF, UH, OFF OF OUR PHONES, OFF OF GAMES, AND TAP INTO THE INNER ENTREPRENEUR, UH, WHICH IS IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS JAMES GALLAGHER.
COUNCIL, BY THE WAY, CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING THE ELECTION.
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY.
AND, AND ALSO, UH, COUNCILMAN JOE, CONGRATULATIONS.
I KNOW YOU FOUGHT A HARD FIGHT
SO, AS YOU KNOW, UH, WE JUST ENDED AN ELECTION SEASON, AND, AND WE HAVE OUR USUAL ELECTION ACTIVITIES THAT GO ON, INCLUDING SIGNS, WHICH WE SEE ALL OVER THE CITY.
AND, AND OF COURSE, SIGNS ARE INSTALLED, SIGNS ARE REMOVED, SIGNS ARE KNOCKED DOWN, SIGNS ARE STOLEN.
THE USUAL THING USUALLY OCCURS.
I WAS SHOCKED TO GET A PHONE CALL FROM SOME FRIENDS OF MINE WHO TOLD ME ABOUT SOME SIGNS THAT DID POP UP DOWN ON THE CORNER OF PIPELINE AND CHIN HILLS PARKWAY.
AND MAYOR MARQUE, YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT IT, AND I'VE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH CAPTAIN GOODELL AS WELL.
AND I DON'T WANNA CALL ATTENTION TO THIS GROUP, BUT I DO FEEL THAT WE, THE RESIDENTS IN THIS CITY, NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON HERE.
UM, THE NAME OF THIS GROUP THAT COVERED UP OUR SIGNS IS CALLED THE PATRIOT FRONT.
WHEN I LOOKED THEM UP, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE, UH, WHAT THEY STAND FOR.
UH, I THINK REAL PATRIOTS ARE PEOPLE LIKE RONNIE GEIER, FOR EXAMPLE.
UH, COUNCILMAN BENNETT AS WELL, I THINK ARE REAL PATRIOTS.
LET ME READ WHAT I'VE DISCOVERED ABOUT THE PATRIOT FRONT.
UH, I GOT THIS FROM THE, UM, THE, UH, SOUTHERN POVERTY, UH, LAW CENTER AS WELL.
IT'S A WHITE NATIONALIST HATE GROUP THAT BROKE OFF FROM VANGUARD AMERICA AND THE AFTERMATH OF THE DEADLY UNITE, THE RIGHT RALLY IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA.
UM, AS YOU KNOW, ATTACKS ON MINORITIES AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ARE UP AGAIN IN AMERICA.
THEY'RE OCCURRING IN LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK, UH, BOSTON, AS WELL AS IT LOOKS LIKE NOW WE HAVE A PRESENCE IN THIS CITY.
UM, THESE SIGNS WERE PLACED IN FRONT OF A CAMPAIGN SIGN OF A FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAPPENS TO BE OF JEWISH DESCENT, AND THEY WERE DELIBERATELY PLACED, I THINK, TO COVER IT UP.
THEY'RE MANIFESTO AS AMERICANS OR DESCENDANTS OF EUROPEANS.
UH, THEY HAVE SLOGANS LIKE, UH, BETTER DEAD THAN RED, ONE NATION AGAINST INVASION.
UM, AMERICA FIRST ARE SOME OF THEIR SLOGANS.
THE PATRIOT FRONT EXISTS BY ANONYMOUSLY POSTING FLYERS, DROPPING BANNERS OFF, UH, BUILDINGS OR OVERPASSES, AND THEY PERFORM MISCELLANEOUS ACTS OF VANDALISM AND EVEN PUBLIC
[01:05:01]
SERVICE.SO MY POINT IS, UM, THE OTHER GROUPS THAT THEY, SO SUE EIGHT WITH, BY THE WAY, ARE THE THREE PERCENTERS AMANS, ARMY PDX LIBERATION PROUD BOYS, ADAM W I THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS GROUP.
I'VE OFFERED TO GIVE THE SIGNS TO, UH, CAPTAIN GOODELL SO HE CAN USE IT IN TRAINING, UH, PERHAPS WITH SOME OF HIS DEPUTIES.
BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS, PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR THESE SIGNS, NOTIFY CAPTAIN GOODELL RIGHT AWAY, NOTIFY, UH, CITY MANAGER BEN MONTGOMERY.

SECOND, IT GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SELL MY PRODUCT AND MAKE MONEY.
THIRD, GOING TO THESE FAIRS HELPS ME PRACTICE MY PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS AND BEING ABLE TO BETTER COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE.
AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS BY ANSWERING ALL QUESTIONS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT MY PRODUCT AND HOW I MAKE THEM, AS YOU COULD SEE, GOING TO THESE FAIRES HELP BENEFIT ME AND MY BUSINESS.
AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ONE.

NEXT WE HAVE JEN JANINA RAMIREZ.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MARQUEZ AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I'M JANINA RAM RAMIREZ, COMMUNITY DIRECTOR OF TAILORED SPACE.
I WANT TO SHARE A BIT ABOUT WHAT TAILORED SPACE IS.
WE ARE A COMMUNITY OF ENTREPRENEURS.
WE OFFER EXECUTIVE SUITES AS WELL AS CO-WORKING.
WE CURRENTLY HAD ABOUT SIX DIFFERENT SITES THROUGHOUT THE INLAND EMPIRE, AND WE CHOSE THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.
WE, UH, WENT AHEAD AND OPENED UP OUR SEVENTH SITE.
THIS SITE IS ABOUT 16,000 SQUARE FEET.
WITH OVER, CURRENTLY WE HAVE ABOUT 47 DIFFERENT BUSINESS OWNERS, UH, INHABITING OUR SPACES DOING COMMUNITY WORK,
[01:10:01]
AND I WANT TO APPLY THE, UH, CHINO VALLEY CHAMBER FOR BEING ONE OF OUR EXCELLENT PARTNERS.WE HAVE OVER 30 DIFFERENT, UM, BUSINESSES THAT ACTUALLY REPRESENT THE CHINO VALLEY MEMBERSHIP.
UH, VALLEY CHAMBER HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN OUR GROWTH.
UH, WE NOT ONLY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE A SPACE, BUT ALSO PARTNERING WITH AN ORGANIZATION AS THE CHAMBER.
WE HAVE INVITED, UH, MIXERS AS WELL AS, UH, EVENTS WHERE WE CAN ENCOURAGE YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS.
WE DID OUR BUSINESS, UH, EXPO LAUNCH THE DAY BEFORE, UH, THE ACTUAL EXPO.
AND WE HAVE, UH, IN THE LAST WEEK WE ACTUALLY DID OUR GRAND OPENING.
SO THANK YOU FOR THOSE THAT PARTICIPATED.
UM, I SEE SOME FAMILIAR FACES.
UH, WE, UH, THAT EVENING ALONE, WE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED ABOUT THREE DIFFERENT BUSINESS TRANSACTION TRANSACTIONS TAKING PLACE.
THAT JUST GIVES YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THE, UH, THRIVING BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
BUT AGAIN, I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU IN MY CLOSING, UH, COMMENTS THAT THIS ALL CAME ABOUT DUE TO THE CHINO VALLEY CHAMBERS PROGRAMMING, AND I WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE, UH, SUPPORTING THEM.
MARK HAS, THAT IS THE FINAL SPEAKER CARD THAT I HAVE, IF ANYBODY WISHES TO SPEAK, WHO HASN'T SUBMITTED A SPEAKER CARD.
MOVING ALONG, UH, CONFLICT OF INTEREST, DO YOU HAVE ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST ANNOUNCEMENTS? NO.
[ CONSENT CALENDAR (14 ITEMS) - All matters listed on the Consent Calendar are considered routine by the City Council and may be enacted by one motion in the form listed below. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless, before the City Council votes on the motion to adopt, Members of the City Council or staff request the matter to be removed from the Consent Calendar for separate action. Removed consent items will be discussed immediately after the adoption of the balance of the Consent Calendar.]
GO TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR.ANYBODY WISH TO PULL ANYTHING? NO.
BUT JUST TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT ON ITEM 21, JUST THAT, JUST TO THANK STAFF FOR ANOTHER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GO TOWARDS SAFE ROUTES SCHOOLS IN LOS TORONTOS.
YEAH, I'LL PULL IN TWO 15 AND 19.
YOU'RE MAKING A MOTION FOR ALL THE OTHER, FOR THE REMAINDER.
[15. Adopt budget amendment resolution for Fiscal Year 2022-23 increasing budget in various funds by $5,703,682.53 based on first quarter budget review]
I PULLED, AND KRISTA, IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN THIS AND, AND THIS, THE REASON THAT I'M PULLING IT IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STAFF REPORT, IT'S VERY CONFUSING.THE NUMBERS REALLY DON'T MATCH UP.
UM, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE TAKING MONEY FROM ONE FUND AND MOVING IT TO ANOTHER FUND, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT COULD BE DONE A LITTLE BIT BETTER FOR SOMEBODY AS SIMPLE AS ME, SO I CAN LOOK IT AND TRULY UNDERSTAND IT.
SO IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN WHAT, WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.
I CAN EXPLAIN IT, BUT HOW IT WORKS.
AND OUR FINANCIAL SOFTWARE IS COMPLICATED, AND THAT'S WHY IT LOOKS SO HORRIFIC.
BUT PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE'RE DOING, UH, EACH OF OUR CFDS HAVE A REGIONAL POT OF MONEY AND A LOCAL POT OF MONEY, THE REGIONAL POT OF MONEY.
UM, WE'VE, IN THE MOST RECENT HISTORY, SPENT IT ON PURCHASING THE TRACE OR MONOS RANCH AND, UH, DEDICATING FUNDS TO THE FIRE DISTRICT.
WHEN WE MAKE THOSE PAYMENTS, IT'S USUALLY ONE CHECK.
IT'S EASY TO, TO, UH, CODE, AND IT'S SIMPLE AND IT'S DONE.
NOW WE'VE DEDICATED MONEY TO THE COMMUNITY PARK PROJECT, AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS INVOICES.
AND SO SPREADING, UM, EACH INVOICE OVER MULTIPLE FUNDS IS, IS VERY TIME CONSUMING FOR STAFF.
SO, UH, WE CAME UP WITH THIS PLAN TO CREATE A FUND TO HOLD ALL OF THOSE REGIONAL FUNDS.
AND, UH, THAT WAY WHEN WE CODE THE INVOICES ON A REGULAR BASIS, WE'RE JUST HAVING TO HIT ONE ACCOUNT ALL THE TIME.
SO ALL WE'RE DOING IS MOVING, IT'S 4.8 MILLION FROM MULTIPLE FUNDS INTO ONE POT OF MONEY.
IT'S MOSTLY JUST TO MAKE, UH, THINGS EASIER ON THE BACK BACKEND.
SO IT LOOKS HORRIFIC UP FRONT, BUT, UH, INCREASING ONE FUND DECREASING THE OTHER NET EFFECT IS ZERO IN THE LONG RUN.
AND IF I CAN JUST SAY REALLY QUICKLY, UM, ON WHEN I HAVE THOSE QUESTIONS, YOU GUYS DID ANSWER 'EM, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH TO, TO BREAK IT DOWN IN MY TERMS SO I CAN UNDERSTAND.
WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT IT.
I'M PULLING ITEM NUMBER 19, RECEIVING FILE FOR CHINO HILLS LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN.
UH, QUESTIONS THAT I DO HAVE IS CARBON CANYON.
UM, CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THAT'S NOT INCLUDED? AND I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, DANIEL.
UM, AND FOR THE PUBLIC, WHAT I LIKE TO DO IS JUST GIVE SOME BRIEF, BRIEF BACKGROUND ON THIS LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN.
THIS IS A, A HIGH LEVEL REVIEW OF OUR, OF OUR STREETS.
UH, WE DID THIS FOR TWO REASONS.
ONE IS TO, UH, IDENTIFY ANY, ANY POTENTIAL SAFETY, UH, HAZARDS IN THE CITY.
AND THEN TWO, ALSO BY COMPLETING THIS PLAN, IT QUALIFIES US FOR, FOR GRANT FUNDING.
[01:15:01]
MAYOR, TO YOUR QUESTION REGARDING CARBON CANYON, THE REASON WHY CARBON CANYON WAS NOT PART OF THE STUDY IS BECAUSE, UH, CARBON CANYON ROAD ITSELF IS WITHIN CALTRANS, UH, DISTRICT.THEY MAINTAIN IT, AND IT'S NOT PART OF THE CITY'S NETWORK.
AND THEN ALSO TOO, THE DATA ONLY WENT UP TO 9 20 19.
I KNOW RECENTLY WE'VE HAD SOME, SOME ACCIDENTS WHERE PEOPLE FATALITIES.
SO THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT COMPILED BECAUSE WE ONLY WENT TO 2019.
UH, AND THE STUDY WAS STARTED BACK IN 2021.
UM, SO ANY ACCIDENTS THAT JUST HAPPENED RECENTLY, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR SO, UH, WERE NOT CAPTURED AS PART OF THE STUDY.
UH, AND THE REASON WHY WE DIDN'T USE 2020 WAS BECAUSE IT WAS AN ATYPICAL YEAR REGARDING, UH, TRAFFIC FLOWS, UH, BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.
SO THAT WAS, UH, ALSO NOT, UH, WE WEREN'T COMPARING APPLE SWAPS, SO THAT WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE STUDY.
I JUST WANNA SAY YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
UH, WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THIS SECOND, MY APOLOGIES.
OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO OUR DISCUSSION CALENDAR.
[22. Adopt resolution terminating local emergency declared as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and determining the resolution is exempt from review under California Environmental Quality Act, provide direction related to fees for garage and yard sale permits, and take related actions that may be necessary]
22, PRESENTING BELIEVE ON THIS IS BEN.UH, THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TODAY IS, UH, STAFF IS REQUESTING THAT, UH, WE TERMINATE OUR LOCAL, UH, EMERGENCY FOR A LITTLE, UH, BACKGROUND FOR THE PUBLIC.
UH, IN, UH, MARCH OF 2020, UH, THE CITY ENACTED A LOCAL, UH, EMERGENCY.
IN RESPONSE TO THE, UH, COVID 19 PANDEMIC, UH, WE TOOK THREE, UH, ADDITIONAL ACTIONS THROUGH ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS, UH, THAT WERE ALL DESIGNED TO, UH, UH, REDUCE THE REGULATIONS, UH, UH, THAT ARE NORMALLY PART OF OUR, UH, CODES, UH, FOR OUR BUSINESSES AND OUR RESIDENTS.
UH, SUBSEQUENT TO THE, UH, ESTABLISHMENT OF THOSE THREE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS, UH, WE'VE BEEN CARVING BACK SOME OF THOSE PROVISIONS, UH, OVER TIME AS, AS THE WORLD CHANGED, UH, WITH OUR INITIAL ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER, UH, WE, UH, RELAXED THE TEMPORARY BANNERS AND SPECIAL EVENTS AND, UH, OUTDOOR DINING PROVISIONS.
UH, AND THEN OUR SECOND AND THIRD ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER, UH, PRIMARILY EXTENDED THE, UH, UM, PERMIT, UH, DEADLINES, UH, FOR EXISTING PERMITS.
AGAIN, AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR OUR BUSINESSES THAT MAY HAVE HAD TROUBLE, UH, CLOSING OUT THEIR PERMITS.
UH, NOW WE'RE IN A, UH, A WORLD THAT'S A LOT MORE LIKE NORMAL AS, UH, WAS REPORTED BY, UH, UH, UH, ERIC ODONNELL.
THE, THE GOVERNOR HAS ALSO RECOGNIZING, UH, UH, THE, UH, ENDING OF, UH, THE COVID, UH, PANDEMIC AND THE STATE'S EMERGENCY ORDERS.
SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TODAY IS TO TERMINATE, UH, OUR, UH, UH, EMERGENCY DECLARATION, OUR LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION.
AND WITH THAT, UH, WE WOULD END UP, UH, KIND OF CLOSING OUT OUR ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS.
UH, UM, TWO BIG THINGS WOULD HAPPEN.
ONE, UH, ANY, UH, ONE WITH A PERMIT, UH, WOULD START GETTING NOTICES AS OF JANUARY ONE, UH, THAT, UH, THEY'D BE, UH, SUBJECT TO, UH, EXPIRATION.
AND THEN ONE OF THE PROVISIONS, UH, THAT WE TOOK IN ORDER TO HELP OUR RESIDENTS WAS WE REQUIRE A PERMIT AND A FEE FOR YARD SALES.
UH, AND, UH, WHAT WE WOULD THEN BE SEEKING FROM THE COUNCIL IS WE WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY PIVOT AND STOP CHARGING THE FEE AND PROCESS, UH, THOSE PERMITS, UH, ONLINE.
UM, UH, WE'RE LOOKING FOR COUNCIL'S DIRECTION, IF YOU SEE FIT, THAT WE WOULD PROBABLY GO TO A NO FEE FOR YARD SALES AND CONTINUE THE PRACTICE, UM, UH, FOR THE PUBLIC.
THE REASON WE CHARGE THE FEE IS, IS TO RECOVER THE COST, BUT WE'VE MADE IT A LOT EASIER, SO IT'S NOT AS COSTLY.
AND THEN IT'S ALSO TO PROTECT RESIDENTS, UH, SO THAT THEY DON'T END UP LIVING NEXT DOOR, UH, TO A BUSINESS THAT OPERATES CONSISTENTLY.
WE WOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND, AND, UH, THE RESTRICTIONS WOULD STAY.
WE JUST WOULDN'T, UH, CHARGE A FEE ANYMORE IF THE COUNCIL WERE TO GIVE THAT DIRECTION.
SO THEY WOULD STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PERMITTING PROCESS, BUT IT WOULD BE A NO FEE PERMIT PROCESS? CORRECT.
THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD PROPOSE AND BRING BACK TO, THEY WOULD'VE A LIMIT AS FAR AS HOW MANY YOU COULD DO A YEAR, RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO, UH, WITH THAT, UH, WE'RE JUST SEEKING THE COUNSEL, UH, TO, UH, UM, WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT YOU ADOPT A, UH, RESOLUTION THAT WOULD THEN TERMINATE THE, UH, LOCAL EMERGENCY AND THE ASSOCIATE IT ORDERS.
I'D SAY WE MOVE THAT, AND THEN CAN WE NOW GIVE THE DIRECTION TO NO LONGER CHARGE FOR, FOR THE PERMIT? YEAH.
BEFORE WE CALL FOR A VOTE, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? NO, WE DO NOT.
[01:20:01]
SORRY, COULD I CLARIFY THAT THE ACTUAL MOTION IS BOTH TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION, UM, TERMINATING LOCAL EMERGENCY, AND THEN ALSO TO, UM, STOP CHARGING THE FEE FOR THE GARAGE AND YARD SALE PERMIT.WHEN WILL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS BE? IT WOULD BE, UH, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
UH, WITH THE EXCEPTION, THE PERMITS AND, UH, EXPIRATION.
[23. Approve Children's Library Project at James S. Thalman Chino Hills Branch Library to renovate and reimagine the children's section to incorporate a space travel theme inspired by retired NASA astronaut Dr. Jose Hernandez]
THANK YOU, MAYOR, UH, FOR, UH, YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT.ROUGHLY, UH, FEBRUARY OF 2023, I MEAN, 2022.
UH, WE WERE APPROACHED BY, UH, MEMBERS OF THE, UH, UH, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY LIBRARY, UH, TO TALK ABOUT A POTENTIAL PROJECT, UH, AT OUR JAMES ALMAN, UH, LIBRARY.
I'M HAPPY TO HAVE, UH, THE INTERIM COUNTY LIBRARY IN, UH, MELANIE ROSCOE AND RETIRED, UH, NASA ASTRONAUT, UH, DR.
JOSE HERNANDEZ TODAY TO PRESENT, UH, THEIR PROPOSAL FOR AN ENHANCEMENT TO OUR LIBRARY.
UM, I'M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT AS OF LAST TUESDAY, I WAS ACTUALLY OFFICIALLY APPOINTED COUNTY LIBRARIAN, SO THAT'S NOT UPDATED ON MY POWERPOINT THERE, BUT CONGRATULATIONS.
I'M OFFICIALLY COUNTY LIBRARIANS, SO VERY EXCITED.
UM, GOOD EVENING MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, AND CITY COUNCIL.
UM, HERE WITH ME TODAY IS RETIRED ASTRONAUT, AUTHOR AND FOUNDER AND CEO OF TIARA LUNA ENGINEERING, LLC, MR. DR.
IN RECENT YEARS, THE COUNTY LIBRARY HAS WORKED TO CREATE CHILDREN'S AREAS THAT ARE EDUCATIONAL, INTERACTIVE, AND RELEVANT TO THE RESIDENTS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
HERNANDEZ SHARED HIS STORY WITH THE COUNTY LEADERSHIP TEAM, IN WHICH HE MENTIONED TO US THAT HE SPENT A PORTION OF HIS CHILDHOOD RIGHT HERE IN THE CHINO VALLEY AREA.
THE COUNTY LIBRARY HAS ESTABLISHED A PARTNERSHIP WITH DR.
HERNANDEZ THAT WOULD HELP US BRING AN INTERACTIVE STEAM BASED PROJECT TO LIFE AT THE JAMES S SALMAN CHINO HILLS BRANCH LIBRARY.
UH, MAYOR, MAYOR, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY STAFF, AND ALL THOSE IN THE TENANTS.
I LIKE TO SAY GOOD EVENING AND VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE.
AS A FORMER MIGRANT FARM WORKER, YOUR NEIGHBORING CITY OF CHINO WAS OUR FIRST STOP.
AND IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS IN THE SECOND GRADE THAT MY SECOND GRADE TEACHER CONVINCED MY PARENTS TO, UH, STAY IN ONE PLACE.
AND IT WASN'T UNTIL THE, I WAS IN THE FIFTH GRADE THAT I SAW THE VERY LAST APOLLO MISSION THAT INSPIRED ME TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT.
UH, MY PARENTS, UH, LOW ON RESOURCES WOULD QUITE OFTEN TAKE ME TO PUBLIC LIBRARIES WHERE I CAN FULFILL MY APPETITE FOR KNOWLEDGE IN SPACE AND LOOK AT ALL THE, UH, BOOKS RELATED TO SPACE, UH, WHICH IS WHY I AM SO PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT AND BE, UH, AND BE ABLE TO HELP, UH, INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION.
UH, THE REST IN TERMS OF MY LIFE WAS, AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY.
I WAS SELECTED BY NASA AS PART OF THE 19TH CLASS OF ASTRONAUTS.
I FLEW ON THE SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY, STS 1 28 MISSION TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, SECOND TO LAST MISSION TO COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AS THE FLIGHT ENGINEER.
UH, SOON THEREAFTER, THEY RETIRED THE SPACE SHUTTLE FLEET.
SO I MOVED ON TO OTHER THINGS, AND NOW I PREACHED A GOOD GOSPEL OF WHAT A STEM EDUCATION CAN DO FOR AN INDIVIDUAL.
AND BEING INVOLVED IN SUCH PROJECTS IS, IS, IS MY PASSION.
AND AGAIN, I'M VERY HAPPY TO, UH, TO BE ABLE TO WORK ON THIS PROJECT JUST RIGHT ACROSS THE, UH, HALLWAY HERE AT, AT, AT THE LIBRARY.
AND, UH, AND I THINK, UH, YOU'LL, YOU'LL, YOU'LL DESCRIBE THE REST OF THE PROJECT.
HERNANDEZ, THOSE OF US THAT WERE AT THE, UH, CITY COUNTY CONFERENCE, UH, AT LAKE ARROWHEAD EARLIER THIS YEAR, UH, HAD THE PLEASURE OF HEARING YOUR ENTIRE STORY.
AND I WISH YOU HAD THE TIME TO BE ABLE TO TELL THAT, BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TO COME FROM SHARECROPPERS AND, YOU KNOW, WORKING IN THE FIELDS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, TO HAVE THAT CONSTANT DESIRE TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT, AND THE OBSTACLES THAT YOU WERE FACED WITH, UH, IN MAKING THAT A SUCCESSFUL ENDEAVOR IS JUST AMAZING STORY.
SO ANYONE THAT EVER HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO, TO READ ABOUT YOUR STORY, UH, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, IT WAS REALLY, REALLY EMOTIONAL AND,
[01:25:01]
AND, UH, UPLIFTING TO HEAR, HEAR WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH.AND THAT'S THE PERFECT SEGUE INTO HIS BOOKS THAT HE'S WRITTEN.
SO IF YOU WANTED TO READ ABOUT HIS STORY, YOU ABSOLUTELY COULD DO THAT.
SO I'M GONNA TAKE YOU ON A VIRTUAL TOUR THROUGH THIS SPACE THAT WE HAVE HERE AT THE CHINO, AT THE, UH, CHINO HILLS CHILDREN'S LIBRARY.
SO WHEN YOU FIRST WALK INTO THIS SPACE, VISITORS WILL BE IMMERSED IN WHAT WILL LOOK LIKE A SPACE TRAVEL TERMINAL, MUCH LIKE OUR AIRPORTS THAT WE HAVE TODAY.
IT'LL KIND OF SHOW DEPARTURES AND ARRIVALS AND REALLY GET CHILDREN EXCITED FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR, YOU KNOW, COMMERCIAL SPACE TRAVEL.
AND SO THEY'LL BE IMMERSED IN THAT AS THEY WALK THROUGH.
THE SPACE WILL ALSO INCLUDE A LIFE SIDE SPACE STATION WHERE INTERACTIVES AND MUSEUMS STRUCTURES WILL ALLOW VISITORS AN INSIDE LOOK AT HOW ASTRONAUTS CARRY OUT MISSIONS AND LIVE IN SPACE.
SO YOU CAN IMAGINE, UH, THE INFORMATION ON HOW ASTRONAUTS SLEEP, HOW THEY EAT IN SPACE, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENT EXERCISES THAT THEY MIGHT DO.
UM, AND HERE YOU CAN SEE, UM, ON THE RIGHT PHOTO THERE, YOU'LL SEE A GLOVE BOX WHERE KIDS CAN ACTUALLY, UM, LEARN HOW TO USE TOOLS AND MANIPULATE DIFFERENT THINGS MUCH LIKE AN ASTRONAUT WOULD DO IN SPACE.
SO IT KIND OF GIVES THEM THAT FEELING OF, YOU KNOW, HOW DIFFICULT IT MIGHT BE TO DO THAT IN SPACE.
UM, IN THIS SPACE, WE'LL HAVE ONE OF JOSE'S SPACE SEATS ON DISPLAY, ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER ARTIFACTS, UH, LIKE, UH, SPACE FOODS AND DIFFERENT PERSONAL EFFECTS THAT ASTRONAUTS MIGHT TAKE INTO SPACE SO THAT KIDS CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE AN ASTRONAUT.
THE CHILDREN'S CIRCULATION DESK WILL BE DRESSED UP TO RESEMBLE MISSION CONTROL, AND IT'LL GIVE THE FEELING THAT IT'S TRACKING THE COORDINATES OF THE SPACE STATION, AND, UH, HAVING THOSE COMMUNICATION, UH, DIFFERENT VECTORS AND GRAPHS AND THINGS ON, ON THE GLASS THAT WE HAVE THERE TO REALLY DRESS IT UP AND MAKE IT LOOK, UM, LIKE AN INVITING SPACE FOR THE KIDS AS THEY CHECK OUT THEIR BOOKS.
AND THEN CHILDREN USING THESE COMPUTERS WILL HAVE THE, THE WALL AND THE WINDOWS DRESS THERE TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE PERSPECTIVE AS IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN HOUSTON OR EVEN CAPE CANAVERAL.
AND THEY'RE WORKING IN MISSION CONTROL.
SO THEY'LL REALLY HAVE THAT, UM, EYE, EYE LINE THAT THE FOLKS WORKING IN THOSE SPACES HAVE.
AND THE CENTERPIECE THAT ANCHORS THE AREA IS A LIFE SIZE SPACE CAPSULE.
UM, THIS WILL BE FULLY EQUIPPED WITH SEATING AND A PROJECTOR THAT WILL SHOW VIDEOS OF JOSE'S, UH, SPACE LAUNCH, ALONG WITH OTHERS THAT WILL HELP CHILDREN UNDERSTAND, UM, FROM THE ASTRONAUT'S VIEWPOINT, AND THEN ALSO SERVE AS KIND OF GIVING 'EM A TOUR OF THE GALAXY AND, UM, OTHER VIDEOS THAT WE MIGHT SHARE ON THERE.
AND THEN LASTLY, THIS AREA WILL INCLUDE A SCANNER WHERE STAFF CAN UPLOAD CHILDREN'S DRAWINGS TO BE DISPLAYED IN A SPACE ANIMATION SHOWN ON THE MONITOR NEARBY.
SO, UH, A CHILD CAN DRAW A SPACESHIP OR AN ALIEN, OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT MIGHT, UM, THEY MIGHT SEE IN SPACE, AND THEN A STAFF SCAN THAT IT'LL AUTOMATICALLY APPEAR.
AND THEN YOU'LL SEE ALL OF THE, THE KIDS THAT HAVE DRAWN THEIR, UM, ITEMS IN THERE, AND THEY'LL ALL APPEAR TOGETHER ON THAT SCREEN.
SO THEY'LL REALLY GET TO SEE IN REAL TIME THEIR, THEIR DRAWINGS THERE.
SO WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL WE HAVE FOR YOU TODAY.
THE COUNTY LIBRARY HOPES THAT DR.
HERNANDEZ'S STORY WILL RESONATE WITH AND INSPIRE CHILDREN THAT VISIT THE LIBRARY TO SHOOT FOR THE STARS, UH, WHILE PROMOTING LITERACY WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVE.
SO WITH THAT, WE'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
JUST FOR THE PUBLIC'S INFORMATION, THIS PROJECT WILL COST $200,000 APPROXIMATELY, WILL BE FUNDED BY THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY LIBRARY, AND WE SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN EARLY 2023.
HERNANDEZ, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
YOUR TEACHER, THE SECOND GRADE TEACHER THAT BASICALLY, UM, GAVE YOU SOME VISION AND DIRECTION, DID SHE EVER GET TO KNOW THAT, UH, WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED AT A LATER DATE? DID YOU GO BACK AND TALK TO HER? YES.
THERE'S A GOOD STORY BEHIND THAT.
UH, MAYOR, YOU KNOW, WHEN, UM, WHEN YOU GET SELECTED AS AN ASTRONAUT AND GO TO FLY NEW SPACE, UH, YOU GET 100 TICKETS FOR V I P CITY, UH, FOR US LATINO FOLKS, IT'S LIKE, OKAY, WHICH OF OUR COUSINS CAN COME
LUCKILY, MY CREWMATES GAVE ME EXTRA TICKETS, AND I CALLED THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND I HAD HER AND HER HUSBAND.
THEY WERE SITTING NEXT TO MY PARENTS WATCHING THE LAUNCH LIVE, AND YOU GUYS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE ALL THIS, UH, AN UPCOMING MOVIE BY MICHAEL PENA AND AMAZON.
UH, THEY JUST FINISHED FILMING IT, AND IT SHOULD DROP INTO THE AMAZON PLATFORM SOMETIME OF AUGUST OF NEXT YEAR.
UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS? NO, I DO NOT.
COULD I HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND, PLEASE? ON THIS? I'LL MOVE THE ITEM.
[01:30:01]
THANK YOU SO MUCH.AND JUST AS A SIDE NOTE, WE'VE MET A COUPLE OF TIMES NOW, JOSE, YOU WANT A WINERY, DON'T YOU? YES, SIR.
I KNOW COMMERCIAL WELL, I WILL BECAUSE I HELP RUN A WINE WALK IN CHINO HILLS IN OCTOBER 14TH.
YOU MAY WANT TO BOOK IT SO YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN OUR WINE WALK HERE IN CHINO HILLS, WHICH IS PART OF OUR COMMUNITY HILLS, CHINO HILLS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FUNDRAISER.
HERNANDEZ, DOES YOUR DAD STILL PART TAKE PART IN THAT? YES, HE DOES.
HE, HE INSISTS, UH, 85 YEARS OLD, BUT HE STILL INSISTS ON GETTING ON THE TRACK.
[24. Approve 2023 City Event Calendar dates]

ANYTHING, BUT I DO HAVE A COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 26, NITROGEN.UM, I'M INVOLVED IN A LOT OF TRANSPORTATION, UH, AT S SCAG, SO THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS.
I'M ON THE TRANSPORTATION CHAIR.
I ALSO SIT ON TRANSIT FOR S SP C T A, AND ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES IS HYDROGEN.
UM, THIS IS SORT OF, UM, ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
THEY'RE GREAT, THEY'RE NICE, BUT IT'S GONNA COST A LOT OF MONEY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE CHARGING STATIONS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, WE'RE TRYING TO PUSH AT THE, AT THIS LEVEL IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, HYDROGEN.
AND I'M SO PROUD THAT WE'RE GONNA BE ONE OF THE FIRST CITIES TO HAVE A STATION IN OUR CITY WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR.
UM, AND YOU'RE GONNA BE ONE OF THE FIRST COUNCILMEN TO OWN ONE.
I'M GONNA PROBABLY BUY ONE FAIRLY SOON, SO, BUT, UM, NOBODY'S PULLING ANYTHING, CORRECT? NO.

NUMBER 27 IS TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS, REPEALING CHAPTER 15.04 OF TITLE 15 OF THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE, AND ESTABLISHING A NEW CHAPTER 1504 OF TITLE 15, ADOPTING BY REFERENCE AND AMENDING THE 2022 EDITIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, VOLUMES ONE AND 2 20 22, CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE 2022, CALIFORNIA MECHANICAL CODE 2022, CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE 2022, BUILDING STANDARDS CODE WITH APPENDICES AND AMENDMENTS THERE TOO FOR SECOND READING.INTRODUCED ON OCTOBER 25TH, 2022.
UH, HONORABLE, UH, VICE MAYOR, FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS.
UH, THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS THE ADOPTION OF THE 22, UH, 2022 CALIFORNIA CONSTRUCTION CODES.
UM, A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ON THE BUILDING CODES.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ADOPTED ITS FIRST STATEWIDE BUILDING CODE BACK IN 1927.
UH, PRIOR TO THAT, SOME OF THE LARGER JURISDICTIONS HAD THEIR OWN BUILDING CODES.
MOST OF THE SMALLER ONES, UH, OPERATED O OFF OF THE, UH, PACIFIC COAST BUILDING CODE, WHICH LATER MORPHED INTO THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE.
CHINO HILLS ADOPTED ITS FIRST BUILDING CODE IN 1992, UH, AND EVERY THREE YEARS WE'VE ADOPTED 'EM.
THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE'VE ADOPTED.
SO, UH, WE'RE ON ABOUT OUR 30TH BUILDING CODE, UH, ADOPTION, UM, CYCLE, OR 30 YEARS WORTH OF BUILDING CODES.
UM, UH, TONIGHT, IF YOU GUYS, UH, CHOOSE TO, THESE ARE THE CODES WE WILL BE ADOPTING.
THERE'S THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, UH, VOLUMES ONE AND TWO, THE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE, ELECTRICAL CODE, PLUMBING CODE, MECHANICAL CODE, ENERGY CODE, AND THE GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE.
UM, WHY DO WE ADOPT THE CODES? UM, WE DON'T HAVE TO ADOPT THE CODES.
THE STATE, UH, ACTUALLY, UH, PROPAGATES THE CODES, UM, AND PUBLISHES 'EM ON JULY 1ST OF, OF EVERY THREE YEARS.
SO THE CURRENT CODE WAS PUBLISHED, UH, ON JULY 1ST, 2022.
THE STATE GIVES LOCAL JURISDICTIONS SIX MONTHS, UH, TO AMEND THE CODES IF THEY SO CHOOSE TO.
IF THEY, THEY DON'T CHOOSE TO, THEN THEY'RE AUTOMATICALLY ADOPTED, UH, AS
[01:35:01]
THE, AS THE STATE ADOPTED THEM.UH, WE DID MAKE, SO EVERY YEAR WE MAKE SOME AMENDMENTS TO OUR CODES, AND WE'LL TOUCH ON THAT IN A LITTLE BIT.
UM, THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE MAKE CAN MAKE THE CODE A LITTLE BIT MORE STRINGENT, BUT IT CAN NEVER MAKE IT LESS STRINGENT.
UH, WHAT'S, WHAT, UH, TONIGHT'S ACTION WILL DO, UH, IF APPROVED, UH, TONIGHT'S ACTION WILL ADOPT THE 2022 CALIFORNIA CONSTRUCTION CODES WITH THE LOCAL AMENDMENTS EFFECTIVE, UH, JANUARY 1ST, 2023.
TONIGHT'S ACTION WILL NOT ADOPT OR SET ANY FEES.
UH, ALL OF OUR BUILDING FEES AND PLAN CHECK FEES ARE, ARE SET BY A SEPARATE FEE ADOPTION ORDINANCE, UH, WHICH IS NOT UNDER CONSIDERATION TONIGHT.
UM, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE CODE IN THIS CODE CYCLE HAVE TO DO WITH THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE.
UH, CALIFORNIA'S ALWAYS KIND OF BEEN A LEADER IN, UM, IN, IN ENERGY RELATED LEGISLATION.
AND, UM, THE FIRST CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE WAS ADOPTED IN 1978.
AND EVERY, UH, EVERY CODE CYCLE, THE, THE, THE ENERGY CODE GETS A LITTLE BIT MORE STRINGENT AND A LITTLE TIGHTER.
UH, AND, UH, THIS CODE CYCLE IS NO EXCEPTION.
UM, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IS ALL NEW HOMES WILL HAVE TO BE ELECTRIC READY, AND THAT MAY NOT MAKE SENSE TO A LOT OF YOU GUYS, BUT WHAT THAT MEANS IS EVERY HOUSE BUILT IN CALIFORNIA AFTER 2022 WILL EITHER HAVE TO HAVE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS FOR ALL APPLIANCES, OR THEY'LL HAVE TO HAVE DEDICATED CIRCUITS AND PANELS TO EASILY CONVERT FROM NATURAL GAS TO ELECTRICITY.
UM, BASICALLY IN A LOT OF OUR HOMES, WHAT THAT MEANS IS, UH, YOU MAY NOT HAVE AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET WHERE YOUR GAS RANGE IS.
UH, YOU MAY NOT HAVE AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET WHERE YOUR GAS WATER HEATER IS, UH, STARTING IN, UH, 2023.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A, UH, AN OUTLET WITHIN THREE FEET OF WHERE YOUR GRASS RANGE IS LOCATED AND TO WHERE YOUR WATER HEATER IS LOCATED.
AND SO, WINSTON, THAT'S JUST FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION.
THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HOME REMODEL OR ANYTHING OF THAT? YOU'RE CORRECT.
UH, IN, IN CHINO HILLS, UH, WE ARE NOT PROPOSING, UM, ANYTHING, UH, UH, TO RETROFIT.
UH, THAT'S NOT THE CASE IN SOME OTHER CITIES IN CALIFORNIA, UH, BUT WE'RE NOT PROPOSING THAT.
AND WINSTON, AREN'T SOME OF THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS ALREADY GOING TO SOLAR PANELS? UM, IN, IN RECENTLY BUILT IN 20, WHEN WE ADOPTED THE 2016 CODE, ALL RESIDENTIAL ROOFS WERE REQUIRED TO BE SOLAR READY.
AND, UH, ALL RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICAL PANELS WERE REQUIRED TO BE, UH, SOLAR READY IN 2019.
THREE YEARS AGO, WHEN WE ADOPTED THE NEW CODES, UH, ALL NEW HOMES WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE PHOTO WILL TAKE INSTALLED ON THEM.
SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE STATE JUST KEEPS PROGRESSING DOWN THE ROAD.
UM, UH, ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IS CALIFORNIA WILL BAN THE SALE OF ALL NEW NATURAL GAS FIRED SPACE HEATERS AND WATER HEATING APPLIANCES BY 2020, UH, BY 2030.
AND WINSTON, I'M GONNA JUMP IN ON THAT ONE FOR YOU.
SO JUST, I'LL GET ON MY HIGH HORSE JUST FOR A QUICK SEC.
CALIFORNIA'S GONNA MAKE LIFE ON EVERYBODY A LITTLE BIT HARDER WITH THIS, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, NATURAL GAS IS CHEAPER THAN ENERGY, AND I HOPE ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS SIGN UP FOR THE, OH GOSH, WHATEVER THE EDISON TERM IS FOR WHEN THEY TURN OFF OUR POWER DURING THE HIGH WINDS.
SO NOW GOING FORWARD, WE WON'T HAVE POWER, AND YOU WON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO HEAT YOUR FOOD WITH A GAS RANGE OR A NATURAL GAS WATER HEATER.
SO, THANK YOU TO THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD.
OH, SIMILAR TO CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE ELECTRIC VEHICLES, WHICH WERE CUT OUT DURING THE YES.
I DO BELIEVE LAST THANKSGIVING, OUR ELECTRICITY WAS OUT.
SO LUCKILY WE HAVE A GENERATOR.
UH, LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, A PROPOSED CODE, UM, INCLUDES A MANDATE FOR BOTH SOLAR PD AND ENERGY STORAGE TO BE INSTALLED IN ALL NEW NON-COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.
UH, THE NEW CODE, WHICH WILL BE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 23, OR UH, 2023, WILL REQUIRE THAT ALL SOLAR PD SYSTEMS BESIDES TO COVER APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THE BUILDINGS ELECTRICAL LOADS.
SO YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT MORE PHOTOABLE TAKE REQUIRED IN, UH, NON-RESIDENTIAL
[01:40:01]
BUILDINGS, COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.WE HAVE, UH, A COUPLE THAT ARE COMING ONLINE, UM, UH, THE BIZ CENTER DOWN OFF POMONA, RING CON, AND, UH, AND A COUPLE OF OTHER PROJECTS WHERE WE'RE ALREADY ADVISING THE DEVELOPER TO, TO START TO MAKE PLANS FOR SOLAR.
IT CAN EITHER BE ON THE ROOF OR IT COULD BE IN A PARKING LOT AS, UH, AS A SOLAR CARPORT, UH, WITH CARS PARKED UNDER IT.
UH, THE 2022 ENERGY CODE DOES NOT BAN NATURAL GAS, UH, TO YOUR POINT, UH, BUT INSTEAD MAKES ELECTRICAL HEAT PUMPS THE DEFAULT CHOICE BY GIVING BUILDERS INCENTIVES.
UH, IF THEY, UH, IF THEY INSTALL HEAT PUMPS, BUILDERS WILL EITHER NEED TO INCLUDE ONE HIGHER HIGH EFFICIENCY HEAT PUMP, UH, IN ALL NEW CONSTRUCTION, OR SUBJECT THOSE BUILDINGS TO MORE STRINGENT ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS.
UH, SO IT'S KIND OF A CARROT AND STICK APPROACH.
IF YOU, IF YOU GO WITH THE ELECTRIC HEAT PUMP, UH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA TAKE IT EASIER ON YOU, ON, ON YOUR, UH, ENERGY CO.
UM, THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE 2022 ENERGY CODE IS TO REDUCE AND EVENTUALLY ELIMINATE THE USE OF FOSSIL FUELS LIKE NATURAL GAS AND REPLACE THEM WITH ELECTRICITY GENERATED BY RENEWABLE RESOURCES LIKE SOLAR PANELS, WIND TURBINES, AND HYDROELECTRIC DAMS. WINSTON, DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW OFFHAND WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE OTHER STATES THAT ARE MAKING THESE TYPES OF MANDATES? UM, CALIFORNIA'S FAR AHEAD OF OTHER STATES, BUT THERE ARE, THOSE ARE OTHER STATES THAT ARE JUMPING ON BOARD.
LISTEN, I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING INFRASTRUCTURE ON ELECTRICITY.
UM, WE HAVE ROLLING BROWN OUTS, WE HAVE SPSP.
UM, DO WE HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AS WE MOVE FORWARD? WE'RE MAKING ALL THESE HOUSES ELECTRIC.
DO WE HAVE THE CAPABILITIES OF BEING ABLE TO POWER? YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA TOUCH ON THAT IN A LITTLE BIT.
WHAT THE STATE IS ATTEMPTING TO DO, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BATTERY BACKUP REQUIREMENTS, IS, UM, WHEN WE DO HAVE BLACKOUTS OR BROWN OUTS, YOU'LL STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO POWER YOUR HOUSE BECAUSE YOU'LL HAVE BATTERY BACKUP, UH, IN YOUR HOUSE.
AND THAT'S ONLY IF THE HOUSE WAS BUILT THAT WAY.
SO, IN OTHER WORDS, HOUSES THAT ARE, WELL, IT'LL, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE PULLING PERMITS.
RIGHT NOW, ALMOST, ALMOST 60 TO 70% OF OUR PERMITS ARE EITHER FOR PHOTO WILL TAKE PANELS, UH, ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS AND EV CHARGERS.
SO WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE MOVING AHEAD AND, AND PUTTING ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS IN THEIR HOUSE CURRENTLY.
UM, TOUCHING ON A FEW OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING.
UM, UH, WE'VE HAD THE, UH, THE CLASS A REQUIREMENT FOR FIRE-RESISTANT ROOFING SINCE WE INCORPORATED BACK IN 91.
UH, THAT ELIMINATES, UM, WOOD SHAKE AND WOOD SHINGLE ROOFS.
UH, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE USED TO HAVE QUITE A FEW IN THE CITY.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN FIND ONE HOUSE IN THE CITY ANYMORE THAT HAS A WOOD SHAKER OR WOOD SHINGLE ROOF.
AND THAT HELPS, UH, PREVENT, UH, UH, A FIRE CONFIGURATION THAT CAN MOVE FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE TO HOUSE.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE AN AMENDMENT THAT, UH, CLARIFIES WHEN THERE'S GONNA BE, UH, A TRANSFER OF, UH, THE ENGINEER OF RECORD RESPONSIBILITIES.
THAT HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY WHERE AN ENGINEER, UH, EITHER LEAVES OR, OR PASSES AWAY OR SOMETHING HAPPENS WHERE A NEW ENGINEER HAS TO COME ON AND, AND ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITIES.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE A PROPOSED AMENDMENT THAT WOULD ADD THE WORD, UH, GARAGE WALL TO A DWELLING UNIT, UH, SPECIFICALLY THAT DEALS WITH THE MAN DOOR INSIDE THE GARAGE.
AND IT'S A POOL BARRIER SAFETY REQUIREMENT.
IF YOU HAVE A TODDLER THAT COMES OUT OF THE HOUSE, UH, UM, THROUGH A HOUSE DOOR OR WANDERS INTO A GARAGE, WE DON'T WANT 'EM TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE BACKYARD THROUGH THE GARAGE MAN DOOR.
SO THEY HAVE TO HAVE ALARMS SIMILAR TO SLIDERS AND EVERYTHING ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE, UH, FOR THE GARAGE MAN DOOR, SIMILAR TO WHAT'S ALREADY IN THE HOUSE? CORRECT.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE AN AMENDMENT, UM, THAT CLARIFIES WHAT WORK IS EXEMPT FROM BUILDING, UH, PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL, UH, UH, PERMIT REQUIREMENTS.
UM, AND THEN, UH, THE LAST ONE, A PROPOSED AMENDMENT ADDS AND CLARIFIES TO WHEN A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY IS REQUIRED FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES.
UH, I ALWAYS LIKE TO INCLUDE THIS PICTURE.
UM, JUST TO GIVE YOU GUYS A LITTLE IDEA, UH, THOSE THREE, UH, CODE BOOKS IN THE FRONT WERE MY FIRST CODEBOOKS BACK IN 1982, UH, WHEN I STARTED.
UH, THE, THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE THERE, THE ORANGE ONE IS, UH, UH, IS THE PLUMBING AND MECHANICAL CODE
[01:45:01]
WITH SO SMALL YOU CAN FIT 'EM BOTH IN THE SAME BOOK.THE, THE ONES IN THE BACK ARE THE CURRENT CODES THAT IF YOU GUYS CHOOSE TO ADOPT TONIGHT, THOSE WILL BE THE NEW CODES.
YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH BIGGER THEY ARE AND HOW MUCH, UH, MORE WORK THERE IS.
SO, UH, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER.
WELL, AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO OPEN IT UP TO A PUBLIC, UH, HEARING.
ANY PUBLIC, UH, WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER.
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, COULD I HAVE A MOTION? I'D LIKE TO THE ITEM.
A LOT OF THIS STUFF COVER, ARE YOU STILL STICKING UP HERE? HE NEXT TO OR MOTION PASSES? FOUR ZERO.
[28. Authorize City Manager to execute Communications License Agreement with AT&T in estimated annual lease amount of $59,153.18 subject to annual CPI increase for five-year term, renewable every five years up to 30 years for City-Owned Open Space at 4740 Soquel Canyon/Butterfield Trail between Soquel Canyon Parkway and Torrey Pines Drive ("location") subject to negotiation by City Manager and approval to form by City Attorney; adopt resolution approving Wireless Conditional Use Permit No. 21WCUP01 for development of an AT&T Wireless Communications Facility in City-Owned Open Space at "location" and approving height adjustment up to 44 feet 4 inches pursuant to Chino Hills Municipal Section 16.44.060(F) and determining project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act; alternatively decline to enter into Communications License Agreement with AT&T and adopt resolution denying as moot (1) an application for Wireless Conditional Use Permit No. 21WCUP01 for development of an AT&T Wireless Communications Facility in City-Owned Open Space at "location" and (2) denying as moot a request for a height adjustment up to 44 feet 4 inches pursuant to Chino Hills Municipal Section 16.44.060(F) and (3) determining project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act; and direct staff to return with discussion as to whether City Council wants to continue opening its open space land to major wireless facilities and set criteria that Council prefers]
NUMBER 28.THIS ITEM IS TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A COMMUNICATIONS LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH AT AND T.
UH, AND THERE IS AN, UH, ADOPTING A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE WIRELESS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 21 W C U P ZERO ONE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF AN AT AND T WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY IN CITY OWNED OPEN SPACE.
THERE'S ALSO AN ALTERNATE TO DENY IT AS MOOT, UM, AS PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION.
UH, MAYOR, UH, THIS ITEM IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE, UH, NORMALLY DO.
AND SO I'M GONNA GIVE AN INTRODUCTION, BUT WE'RE ALSO GONNA TAKE A TEAM APPROACH TO THIS.
UH, OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTS, UH, TEAM AND OUR CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WILL, WILL HAVE COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM.
AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE APPLICANT, UH, HERE AS WELL.
BUT TO KICK THINGS OFF, UH, AS, AS YOU LIKELY RECALL, BUT FOR THE PUBLIC, UH, ON OCTOBER 11TH, WE HAD AN ITEM, UH, BEFORE THE COUNCIL THAT HAD MADE IT THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS RELATED TO AN AT AND T WIRELESS FACILITY THAT WAS PROPOSED FOR OUR OPEN SPACE AREA NEAR, UH, SO CANYON PARKWAY AND TORY PINES.
UH, TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS PULLED THAT ITEM FOR FURTHER REVIEW.
UH, TYPICALLY WHEN AN ITEM IS PULLED, UH, FROM THE PA UH, PLANNING CALENDAR, UH, WE HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE FINDINGS, UH, RELATED TO THAT PROJECT AND TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT SHOULD PROCEED OR, OR BE DENIED.
UM, WHAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THIS CASE IS THAT USUALLY THAT THAT'S THE, THE MAIN FOCUS OF, UH, THAT, UH, DISCUSSION.
BUT IN THIS CASE, THE LAND WHERE THIS, UH, PROJECT WOULD, UH, UH, LOCATE IS CITY LAND.
SO YOU HAVE A LITTLE MORE, UH, AUTHORITY BECAUSE YOU COULD ULTIMATELY JUST SAY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW, UH, THE PROJECT ON OUR LAND, AND THEN THAT WOULD ACTUALLY, UH, UH, THEORETICALLY CANCEL THE, UH, PERMIT AND THE PROCESS.
SO THE REASON OUR STAFF REPORT HAS MULTIPLE OPTIONS, UH, IT'S, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COUNCIL TO HA HEAR FROM STAFF, UH, THE BACKGROUND ON THE PROJECT.
UH, YOU MAY THEN DETERMINE TO ALLOW THE PROJECT TO PROCEED.
YOU MAY DETERMINE THAT, UH, AS THE LANDOWNER, YOU WANT TO HAVE, UH, A DIFFERENT CRITERIA FOR THE PROJECT.
UH, YOU MAY DETERMINE, UH, THAT YOU DON'T WANT THE PROJECT AT ALL, OR YOU MAY ASK STAFF TO BRING BACK, UH, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT, UH, THE PROJECT.
SO, UH, A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE NORMALLY DO, BUT IT, IT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD TIME TO TALK ABOUT, UH, WIRELESS FACILITIES, UH, IN THE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE.
UH, IN THIS CASE, UH, PART OF THE, THE DISCUSSION WILL BE ABOUT, UH, INSTALLING A, UH, UH, FO OR FAKE, UH, WATER TOWER AS OPPOSED TO SOME OF THE, UH, FAKE TREES WE'RE ACCUSTOMED TO.
AND, UH, WITH THAT, I THINK I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JOANNE AND TEAM WHO WILL, UH, WALK YOU THROUGH THE BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT.
I'M ACTUALLY GONNA TURN IT OVER TO YVETTE BRUNETTO, WHO IS A PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MARQUEZ, VICE MAYOR ROGERS AND FELLOW COUNSEL.
UM, I'M Y EVA BRUNETTO, AND I'LL BE PRESENTING, UM, WIRELESS CONDITIONAL USE 21 W C U P O ONE AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR 47 40.
SO CANYON PARKWAY, AND IT'S FOR A FULL WATER AND TANK.
UM, SO HERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.
IN A 1996, THE FEDERAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT WAS PASSED, AND IT REALLY LIMITED THE GOVERNMENT'S, WELL, LOCAL GOVERNMENT'S ABILITY TO REGULATE WIRELESS FACILITIES.
UM, IT STARTED TO BECOME INCREASINGLY CONSTRAINED.
AT THE SAME TIMES ALL SEGMENTS OF SOCIETY BECAME INCREASINGLY RELIANT ON WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES.
SO TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SERVICE, WIRELESS PROVIDERS RELY ON MAJOR FACILITIES DESIGNED TO REACH A LARGE, UM, POPULATION AREA.
[01:50:01]
FACILITIES EVERYWHERE, THEY, THEY BUILD THESE LARGER FACILITIES THAT CAN GET THE SIGNAL OUT TO MORE PEOPLE.UM, FOR A COMMUNITY WITH VARIED TOPOGRAPHY, SUCH AS CHINO HILLS, THE BEST LOCATIONS FOR MAJOR FACILITIES ARE ON OR NEAR THE TOPS OF HILLS.
UM, MOST OF THE CITY'S HILLS ARE IN OPEN SPACE AND ARE OWNED BY THE CITY.
PREVIOUSLY, MANY MAJOR WIRELESS FACILITIES HAVE LOCATED ON OR ADJACENT TO CITY'S WATER TANKS WITH EIGHT MAJOR WIRELESS FACILITIES ON ADJACENT TO CITIES.
WATER TANKS, FIVE FACILITIES ATTACHED TO AN EXISTING, UM, SCE LA LATTICE TOWERS 20 FACILITIES ON A ATTACHED TO UTILITY POLES, STREET LIGHTS, OR TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
AND THREE FACILITIES LOCATED IN CITY PARKS.
IN 2016, THE CITY UPDATED THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW MAJOR FACILITIES IN ITS OPEN SPACE AND TO REQUIRE MAJOR FACILITIES TO BE DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE VISUAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS USING STEALTH TECHNOLOGY.
SINCE THAT TIME, IN ADDITION TO PROPOSED 21 W C O P ONE, THE CITY HAS APPROVED TWO MAJOR WIRELESS FACILITIES IN OPEN SPACE.
UM, 19 C U P OH TWO, WHICH IS A FO EUCALYPTUS TREE.
UM, IT IS ALSO AT AND T AND IT IS LOCATED ON THE CITY OPEN SPACE ADJACENT TO GRAND AVENUE AND CAES AND MARCOS, I HAVE A PICTURE OF IT FURTHER ON IN THE SLIDE, SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
AND ALSO 19 W C O P W C U P OH ONE, WHICH IS A FULL WATER TANK, UM, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT IS PROPOSED AND WITH THIS PROJECT.
AND IT IS ALSO A AT AND T FACILITY, AND IT IS GONNA BE LOCATED IN CITY OWN OPEN SPACE.
UM, AND ALONG THE ADOBE TRAIL BETWEEN EAST VIEW DRIVE AND SUNNY MIDDLE LANE, THAT WAS APPROVED IN JULY, 2020.
UM, WE, IN ADDITION TO THESE, WE CURRENTLY HAVE FIVE OTHER APPLICATIONS FOR REVIEW.
ONE IS ON GRAB AVENUE, UM, PRETTY CLOSE TO HERE.
IT'S A FAUX WATER TANK, ONE ON RIDGEVIEW DRIVE, AND THAT'S ALONG THE RIDGEVIEW CHA TRAIL BETWEEN EUCALYPTUS AND, UM, EITHER THE BIG OAK OR RANCHO HILLS.
AND IT'S A FAUX WATER TANK, UM, ONE ALONG THE STAGECOACH TRAIL, WHICH IS NEAR CHINO AVENUE, ANOTHER FAUX WATER TANK, UM, UH, AT LIVE OAK ROAD, WHICH IS ADJACENT TO OUR EXISTING RESERVOIR.
AND IT'S ONE OF THE FEW RESERVOIRS IN THE CITY THAT ARE MOSTLY SUBTERRANEAN, SO IT CAN'T LO SO THE CARRIERS CAN ACTUALLY LOCATE ON THE RESERVOIR.
THEY HAVE TO KIND OF BE LOCATED ADJACENT TO IT, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A FAUX TREE.
AND, UM, THE FINAL ONE IS A CO-LOCATION ON ACUC, WHICH IS, UM, ADJACENT TO ANOTHER EXISTING CITY RESERVOIR, WHICH IS CURRENTLY A FAUX TREE.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO, UM, INCREASE THE HEIGHT TO LOCATE ANOTHER CARRIER.
THESE ARE ALL CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW.
THEY HAVEN'T MADE IT THIS FAR YET.
SO, UM, THE COUNCIL HAS TWO DECISIONS TONIGHT, AND EACH DECISION HAS A LITTLE BIT OF, UM, THE RULES ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FOR EACH ONE.
UM, THE FIRST DECISION IS, UM, THE CITY COUNCIL AS A PROPERTY OWNER.
WELL, THE CITY IS THE PROPERTY OWNER.
UM, THE APPLICANT MUST OBTAIN A LICENSE AGREEMENT FROM THE CITY ALLOWING FOR THE USE OF ITS LAND.
AND AS THE PROPERTY IN ORDER, THE CITY HAS THE UNFETTERED RIGHT TO DECIDE WHETHER TO GRANT OR DECLINE TO ENTER INTO THIS LICENSE.
THE SECOND DECISION IS FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
THE CITY IS THE LAND USE REGULATOR.
AS THE LAND USE REGULATOR, THE CITY IS CONSTRAINED BY CERTAIN FINDINGS.
IT MUST MAKE TO APPROVE OR DENY THE PROJECT.
AND THE CITY IS ALSO CONSTRAINED BY THE FEDERAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS LAW.
IF THE CITY DESIRES TO APPROVE THE PROJECT, THEN THE CITY COUNCIL MAY SIMPLY APPROVE THE C U P HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT AND THE COMMUNICATIONS LICENSE WITH OR WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS.
IF THE CITY COUNCIL DESIRES TO DENY THE PROJECT, THEN THE CITY COUNCIL MAY SIMPLY DECLINE TO LICENSE THE PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE SO CANYON BUTTERFIELD TRAIL, THEN DENY THE C U P HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT ON THE BASIS THAT AT AND T HAS NO PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE LAND.
ISN'T THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW AND, UM, WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS IN PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY THAT WE CAN'T DENY PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY? OR ARE THOSE LIKE UNLIKE STREETLIGHTS AND THINGS, IS IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING? CORRECT.
THEY'RE TWO DIFFERENT YES, CORRECT.
WE DO HAVE CONTROL OF, IT'S GONNA BE IN PUBLIC, IN OUR PRIVATE CITY OWNED PROPERTIES.
JUST WANNA MAKE THAT DISTINCTION BECAUSE PEOPLE WONDER WHY WE PUT 'EM ON THESE, UH, STREETLIGHTS AND WE HAVE NO CONTROL.
ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, THE STATE BASICALLY TOOK AWAY THE CITY'S RIGHT TO REGULATE CERTAIN THINGS IN ITS IN ITS, UH, RIGHT OF WAY.
SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND OPEN
[01:55:01]
SPACE AND OTHER TYPES OF PROPERTY.YEAH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT THAT DISTINCTION.
AESTHETICALLY, UM, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO, TO BE GOING A LIGHT, I WOULD IMAGINE IT DOESN'T LOOK VERY NICE.
CORRECT? IS, I MEAN, IT'S SUBJECTIVE.
WELL,
AS FAR AS THE APPEARANCE OR CHINO HILLS, I, I'M SORRY, I MISSED THE FIRST PART.
YOU WERE SAYING WHAT I'M SAYING.
WE DO IT LIKE A PROPOSED WATER TANK MM-HMM.
CORRECT? IT, IT, IT'S A LARGER FACILITY.
IT CAN COVER A LARGER AREA THAN THE SMALLER STREETLIGHT FACILITIES.
AND BECAUSE THEY ARE STEALTH TECHNOLOGY, THEY ARE MORE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING THAN YOU WOULD SEE A STREET LIGHT ATTACHED ANTENNA.
AND WOULD ALLOW FOR COLOCATION ALSO.
HOW MANY CARRIERS COULD GO ON ONE FAUX UH, WATER TOWER? FOR THIS FACILITY? IT'S TWO.
AS, AS IT'S CURRENTLY DESIGNED.
AND I THINK THAT BRINGS UP A GOOD POINT.
IF WE'RE GONNA BE APPROVING PROJECTS ON CITY OPEN SPACE, IS THERE A WAY TO MAXIMIZE, YOU KNOW, MORE CARRIERS ARE ABLE TO DO IT? SO WE DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, THAT LAUNDRY LIST I SAW A COUPLE SLIDES AGO WHERE WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, FIVE OR SIX MORE COMING IN, YOU KNOW, WE AS A CITY PREACH HOW MUCH WE LOVE OPEN SPACE, BUT IF WE'RE NOW GONNA HAVE IT DOTTED WITH A BUNCH OF FAUX WATER TOWERS, YOU KNOW, ONE FOR AT AND T AND ONE FOR VERIZON AND ONE FOR T-MOBILE OR WHOEVER THE HECK IT IS, YOU KNOW, CAN WE MAXIMIZE THESE LOCATIONS OR IS THAT UP TO THE CARRIERS TO DO THAT? IT'S KIND OF A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH.
WE, WE CAN COME WITH, COME UP WITH DESIGN STANDARDS THAT, UM, AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND, UM, THROUGH AN AMEND, UM, AMEND THE CODE TO INCLUDE THESE STANDARDS THAT COULD HELP FACILITATE THAT.
YEAH, CUZ I, I THINK WE HAVE SOME, SOME OF THE ARTIST RENDERINGS, YOU KNOW, GOING FORWARD I THINK IT'D BE INTERESTING JUST SO WE CAN SEE THAT WE MAYBE POTENTIALLY DON'T WANT THESE THINGS JUST DOTTING EVERY RIDGE LINE JUST BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY PROPERTY THE CITY OWNS.
AND, AND COUNCIL MEMBER, IF I COULD CLARIFY SO THAT THE WIRELESS CARRIERS LOOK FOR THE HIGHEST GROUND THAT COULD REACH THE HIGHEST POINT.
SO EACH OF THESE WATER TANKS OR ANY OTHER FULL FACILITIES ARE AT THE HIGHEST POINT THAT THEY CAN LOCATE AGAIN TO REACH THE GREATEST POPULATION.
SO IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT IF VERIZON COMES OR ANOTHER CELLULAR CARRIER COMES, THEY WILL LOOK FOR THE SAME SITE AND THIS WILL PROVIDE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO CO-LOCATE RIGHT THERE.
SO LOOK FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OR SOMETHING WE GUARANTEE THERE, THERE, THERE'S, CAUSE IF WE, WE ONLY HAVE SO MANY, YOU KNOW, HILLTOP WHERE THE CITY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT WITH THE, WITH THE OPEN SPACE IS NOT TO ENTER INTO THE, TO THE LEASE BECAUSE A SEPARATE LICENSE AGREEMENT WOULD BE REQUIRED.
SO WE COULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO, TO COPE, UTILIZE A FACILITY.
THERE IS A, THE LICENSES HAVE COLOCATION REQUIREMENTS IN THEM, SO THEY HAVE TO ALLOW COLOCATION WHEN WE ENTER INTO THESE LICENSE AGREEMENTS.
BUT WE CAN ALSO ENCOURAGE IT MORE AND LOOK AT WAYS TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE IT MORE.
WE ALSO, IN OUR ORDINANCES, WE DO ENCOURAGE COLOCATION, BUT WE, UM, COULD CERTAINLY LOOK AT DOING IT MORE SO THAT SAY MAYBE IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE THREE OR FOUR, UM, BUT ON A SITE WE COULD POTENTIALLY LOOK AT THAT.
WELL I IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND GOING BACK A SLIDE OR TWO WHERE YOU HAD THE LIST OF ALL THE ONES THAT ARE YEAH.
YOU KNOW, WE HAD CAN I ASK A FOLLOW UP QUESTION ON THIS TOO THOUGH? IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE HIGHEST LOCATION FOR THESE THINGS, HOW DOES THIS INTERACT WITH OUR RIDGE LINE PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION OF PROMINENT KNOWLES? I MEAN, ARE THEY GONNA BE ABLE TO PUT THESE THINGS UP ON RIDGE LINES, WHICH WE CAN'T TYPICALLY, WE CAN'T DEVELOP ON THOSE THINGS.
UH, DOES IT, IS THERE A CONFLICT HERE OR, UM, SO THESE ARE ALSO LOCATED VERY CLOSE TO NEIGHBORHOODS AND NONE OF OUR RIDGE LINES ARE REALLY LOCATED CLOSE TO ANY NEIGHBORHOODS.
WE HAVE NOT HAD AN APPLICATION THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED ON A RIDGE LINE AND BASED ON OUR ORDINANCE, WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT OKAY.
YEAH, CUZ I MEAN, WE FOUGHT HARD TO PROTECT THOSE.
AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE A FULL TOWER UP ON THE RIDGE LINE THAT WE DON'T ALLOW ANYTHING ELSE TO GO ON THAT.
AND BECAUSE EACH OF THESE WILL REQUIRE A SEPARATE LICENSE AGREEMENT.
AND BEFORE WE START ON THIS, WE ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE CITY, WITH THIS CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE ABOUT THE POTENTIAL SITE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? UM, SO WE HAVE THAT PRELIMINARY REVIEW, THEN WE GO THROUGH THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS, AND THEN IT COMES BACK TO THE COUNCIL IN TERMS OF THE LICENSE AGREEMENT.
AND YVETTE WILL HIT MORE ON THAT THROUGHOUT HER PRESENTATION.
SO I, AND THEN I GUESS JUST TO KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON THAT, DO WE WANT A CITY POLICY, NO OFFENSE TO BEND, BUT IS BEN THE FINAL ARBITER OF IF THINGS MOVE FORWARD OR, I THINK WE, WE
[02:00:01]
ARE.THAT'S, THAT'S HOW I WOULD SAY IT.
UM, YEAH, SO I THINK IF WE GET THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, UM, AND THEN WE CAN HIT, HIT.
DOES THAT SOUND PERFECT? GOOD.
UM, AS PART OF THE PROCESS OF REVIEW FOR EACH SITE, WE DO REQUEST THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDE US WITH VIEW SIMULATIONS FOR THE FACILITY.
AND THESE ARE MEANT TO BE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO.
UM, SO, UM, AS, AS WE LISTED OUT HERE, UM, WE WANT THE FACIL, WE WANT A VIEW WHERE TO BE MOST APPARENT, UM, AND, AND WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE FROM AN ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL STREET.
THIS FACILITY, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO LOCATE ON THE HIGHEST POINT OF THIS OPEN SPACE PARCEL LOCATED ALONG.
SO CANYON PARKWAY, UM, IT'S APPROX, THE FACILITY ITSELF WILL BE ALONG THE, SO CANYON BUTTERFIELD TRAIL, AND THAT'S INDICATED BY THE LITTLE RED STAR.
THAT'S THE, UM, WHERE THE, WHERE THE FACILITY'S GONNA BE PROPOSED.
UM, THE, IT'S APPROXIMATELY 600 FEET NORTH OF SO CANYON PARKWAY AND 364 EAST OF WILLOW BEND COURT.
UM, THE GENERAL PLANNED USE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS PUBLIC OPEN SPACE.
THE ZONING DESIGNATION IS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT? YES.
THIS IS PART OF TRACK 1 4 6 52.
CAN WE WAIT AND TALK? SO JUST SO WE CAN ALL TALK ABOUT IT.
I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE TALKING BACK AND FORTH.
CAN YOU HOLD, WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE MAP.
UM, AND, UM, CURRENTLY THIS TRAIL IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC IN ITS EXISTING WALKING TRAIL.
YOU'LL, YOU'LL GET SOME, YOU'LL, YOU'LL BURN SOME CALORIES WALKING IT
NOW THIS IS, UM, A VISUAL RENDERING OF THE PROPOSED FACILITY.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT WHEN IS THAT? IT DOESN'T KINDA DO IT JUSTICE, WHAT THE MATERIAL'S GONNA LOOK LIKE FOR THE FO TOWER.
SO WHAT I HAVE DONE IS, IS I BROUGHT A SAMPLE OF WHAT THE ACTUAL TANK MATERIAL WILL LOOK LIKE.
UM, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT CLOSER, I CAN BRING IT UP TO YOU.
SO, UM, THIS PARTICULAR FACILITY, UM, IT'S BEEN PROPOSED BY AT AND T MOBILITY.
UH, THE CURRENT DESIGN IS TO HOLD, UH, THE POTENTIAL TO HOLD FOR TWO CARRIERS.
THE PROPOSED LEASE AREA IS 1,394 SQUARE FEET.
THIS TOWER, WHEN MEASURED FROM THE LOWEST ADJACENT GRADE WILL BE 44 FEET AND FOUR INCHES.
IT'LL HOUSE 15 PANEL ANTENNAS, 36 REMOTE RADIO UNITS.
ONE, UM, WALK-IN SHELTER, A 20 KV AC GENERATOR.
IT'LL BE ENCLOSED BY A ROT IRON FENCE ENCLOSURE THAT WILL HAVE DECORATIVE, UM, PANELS ON IT.
AND ALSO ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING WILL BE PLANTED AROUND THE FACILITY.
GENERAL QUESTION ABOUT ANY OF THESE LOCATIONS, THEY'RE GONNA BE ON CITY OPEN SPACE LAND.
WILL THERE BE ANY REQUIREMENTS FOR NOTIFICATION OF, UH, ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS OR RESIDENTS ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL? I MEAN, IS THERE SOMETHING THAT THEY, AND WHAT WILL THAT DISTANCE BE? WOULD IT BE THE TYPICAL 300 FEET, OR WAS IT 500? 500 FOR THIS.
AND, AND THEY, THEY'VE RECEIVED A COUPLE THAT'S ROUNDS OF NOTICING.
THESE, THIS IS, THESE ARE A FEW SAMPLES OF THE VIEW SIMULATIONS OF THE PROPOSED SIM UH, FACILITY.
THIS, THE TOP LEFT IS THE VIEW FROM TAHI DRIVE AND, UM, TORY PINES DRIVE.
UH, THE TOP RIGHT IS FROM WILLOW BEND COURT AND CYPRESS POINT.
THE BOTTOM LEFT IS FROM SAPPHIRE ROAD, AND THE BOTTOM RIGHT IS FROM TER PARK.
TO MY EARLIER QUESTION ABOUT RIDGE LINE OR PROMINENT RO UH, NOLL PROTECTION, THIS WOULD SEEM THAT THIS WOULD BE IN TOTAL VIOLATION OF THAT.
NO, NONE OF THESE ARE DESIGNATED PROMINENT RIDGE LINES ARE PROMINENT NOLES.
SO OUR PERCEPTION OF THE FACT THAT IT'S A PROMINENT, SEE, I'M THINK LOOKING AT PERCEPTION VERSUS THE LIST OF ALL PROMINENT LOCATIONS THAT WE HAVE PROMINENT KNOWLES AND RIDGE LINES THAT WERE PROTECTED THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
BUT ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHERE YOU CAN FROM A GREAT DISTANCE AWAY, SEE THIS SITTING UP ON THE HILL, DO WE HAVE ANY INPUT OR ANY THOUGHT ABOUT WHETHER THAT'S GONNA BE ACCEPTABLE BY PEOPLE OR NOT? THERE IS
[02:05:01]
NOTHING IN THE CODE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT THIS.BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT MEANS WE NEED TO ALLOW IT.
I JUST, THESE ARE JUST THINGS THAT I THINK PEOPLE SEE THIS COME UP AND THEY SEE IT IN THE DISTANCE.
MAYBE THEY'LL LIKE IT, UH, MAYBE THEY WON'T.
BUT WE, WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BETTER CELL SERVICE.
SO, YOU KNOW,
ALONG WITH THAT, UH, QUESTIONING, I'LL ASK, UH, EITHER, UH, YVETTE OR JOANNE TO WEIGH IN ON THE NOTICING FOR THE PROJECT AND THE RESPONSE FROM THE COMMUNITY.
AS YOU INDICATED IT, WE, UH, NOTIFIED, UH, 500 FEET WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THIS PROJECT TO KIND OF GIVE THE COUNCIL A SENSE OF WHAT THE PUBLIC'S RESPONSE HAS BEEN.
SO IS IT 500 FEET FROM WHERE THIS WILL PHYSICALLY BE BUILT, OR IS IT 500 FEET FROM THE CITY OWNED PARCELS THAT THIS COMPRISES? CUZ YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, IT GOES ALL THE WAY FROM SOCAL CANYON UP TO TORI PINES AND ENCOMPASSES A PRETTY BIG AREA.
I'LL HAVE, UH, JOANNE ELABORATE ON, ON THE LOCATION.
MAY BE ABLE TO PULL IT UP QUICKER THAN, THAN I CAN, BUT IT'S A FIVE, 500 FOOT RADIUS.
OUR STANDARD NOTICING IS 300 FOOT, BUT PART OF THE CODE AMENDMENT THAT WE DID FOR WIRELESS, UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS MUCH MORE OF A SENSITIVE ISSUE AND POTENTIALLY MORE VISIBLE, WE EXTENDED THAT TO 500 FEET.
HOW MANY DID WE SEND OUT? HOW MANY APP PROPERTY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED? YVETTE, DO YOU HAVE THAT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS? I DO NOT.
I I THINK THERE WAS A, A PERHAPS A THOUSAND.
IT COVERS A LARGE RADIUS FOR SOME OF THEM, AND WE HAD HOW MANY RESPONSES? UH, I DON'T HAVE THAT EXACT NUMBER AT MY FINGERTIPS.
UM, I THINK, UH, I THINK IT WAS, I WOULD WANNA SAY IT'S ABOUT 15.
AND I, I SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT THAT NUMBER 14 OR 15 I, I SEE IT, UH, THERE WERE 61 NOTICES MAILED, UH, WITH, UH, RECEIVED RESPONSES FROM 13 PROPERTY OWNERS.
THAT'S A PRETTY BIG PERCENTAGE IF IT'S OUT OF 60 SOMETHING.
SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, BUT BACK TO MY QUESTION, IS IT 500 FEET FROM THE ACTUAL RIDGE TOP LOCATION, OR IS IT 500 FEET FROM ALL THE PARCELS THAT COMPRISE THAT CITY HIKING TRAIL? CUZ YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE AT THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A, YOU KNOW, YOU DROP A COMPASS DOWN AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE YOUR, YOUR RADIUS AROUND IT AND YOU'RE GOING 500 FEET, YOU'RE GONNA HIT SOME GROUND SQUIRRELS.
WE SHOULD LET YOU GO THROUGH THE, JUST A QUESTION, WHAT'S GONNA GET DONE WITH YOUR PRESENTATION.
THEN WE'LL GET PUBLIC HEARING, THEN WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO US FOR DISCUSSION.
SO GO AHEAD AND FINISH, PLEASE.
ALSO, WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVE FROM AT AND T HERE THAT IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU GUYS AS WELL.
SO, UM, THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR A MAJOR FACILITY, THE LOCATION HAS TO BE A MINIMUM OF 200 FEET FROM A RESIDENTIAL ZONE.
THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS 35 FEET IN A NON-RESIDENTIAL ZONE.
UM, IF THE COUNCIL APPROVES THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT, THE HEIGHT OF THIS, UH, FACILITY WOULD BE 44 FEET, FOUR INCHES.
THE MINIMUM SEPARATION BETWEEN THE NEAREST LEGALLY ESTABLISHED MAJOR FACILITY IS A THOUSAND FEET.
THIS FACILITY IS APPROXIMATELY 9,500 FEET.
UM, THE NEAREST MAJOR FACILITY IS LOCATED ON AQUEDUCT LANE.
THE, THESE ARE LISTENING OF THE REQUIRED HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT FINDINGS FOR MAJOR FACILITY.
AND THIS IS BECAUSE THE FACILITY IS, IS PROPOSING TO BE, TO BE IN EXCESS OF 35 FEET IN HEIGHT.
UM, THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED, THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED FACILITY, UM, IS REQUIRED TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL OR STATE LAW.
UM, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS REVIEWED ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS, UM, PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND DESIGNS, AND HAS DETERMINED THAT THE APPLICATION AS APPROVED WITH THE ADJUSTMENT HAS A LESSER IMPACT ON AESTHETICS AND WELFARE OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY AS COMPARED TO OTHER ALTERNATIVES.
THE PROPOSED FACILITY WILL ALLOW THE CO-LOCATION OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES FROM ADDITIONAL CARRIERS WITHIN THE PROPOSED FACILITY.
AND THE PROPOSED FACILITY PROVIDES FOR AMPLE SPACING AND SCREENING TO ADDRESS ADVERSE VISUAL IMPACTS, UM, AND OPERATIONAL CONFLICTS FROM FACILITIES.
SO I'M GONNA GO THROUGH EACH OF THE FINDINGS.
THE FIRST, UM, FINDING IS FOR, UM, THE LOCATION.
AND THE TOP RIGHT PICTURE IS IT IS
[02:10:01]
A, UM, MAP OF WHAT THE CURRENT COVERAGE IS OF THE, OF THIS PROPOSED SERVICE AREA.SO THAT LITTLE RED CIRCLE IS WHERE THEY'RE PROPOSING TO LOCATE THE FACILITY, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO, UM, REACH THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH AND TO THE WEST OF THAT FACILITY.
AFTER THE FACILITY IS INSTALLED IN OPERATIONAL, UM, THAT'S THE BOTTOM PICTURE, AND YOU'LL SEE AN INCREASE IN GREEN.
AND THAT THE, THE DARK, THE DARKER THE GREEN, THE STRONGER THE SIGNAL.
THE SECOND, UM, OF THE FINDINGS IS ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS.
THE FIRST SITE, IT'S A LITTLE BIT, KIND OF HARD TO SEE, BUT ON THE TOP, THE TOP RIGHT OF THE PICTURE IS A LITTLE YELLOW STAR.
AND THAT IS THE S AN EXISTING SE SUBSTATION.
THAT FACILITY, IT DIDN'T MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.
IT WAS LESS THAN 200 FEET FROM A RESIDENTIAL ZONE.
AND IN ORDER TO MEET, IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY REACH THE TARGET NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT TOWER WOULD HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 250 FEET TALL.
THE SECOND SITE WAS TO CO-LOCATE ADJACENT TO WELL TO, UM, CO-LOCATE ON AN EXISTING LIGHT STANDARD THAT'S ADJACENT TO, UM, THE EXISTING ALBERTSON CENTER.
IT'S KIND OF IN FRONT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING, BUT AGAIN, UM, IT DIDN'T MEET THE 200 FEET CLEARANCE FROM A RESIDENTIAL ZONE, AND IT WOULD REQUIRE THE REMOVAL OF THE EXISTING LIGHT STANDARD AND REPLACE IT WITH A MINIMUM 225 FOOT TALL TOWER IN ORDER TO REACH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE THIRD OPTION WAS ANOTHER LOCATION ON THE SAME PARCEL, BUT FURTHER, UM, TO THE EAST.
AND IT WAS, UH, IT'S, IT'S AT A LOWER ELEVATION.
IT'S A, THE ELEVATION IS APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET LOWER.
AND IN ORDER TO AGAIN, REACH THE TARGET AREA, THIS TOWER WOULD HAVE TO BE 75 FEET TALL.
AND TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE, THIS IS AN ARTIST RUN DREAM.
THE THIRD FINDING WAS, UH, THE ABILITY FOR THE SITE TO BE, UH, UM, BE ALLOWED TO CO-LOCATE ANOTHER CARRIER.
AND AT AND T'S ANTENNAS, IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARD TO TELL, BUT, UM, INTERIOR TO THE TANK, THE TOP PORTION WOULD BE WHERE AT AND T WOULD BE, UM, INSTALLING THEIR EQUIPMENT IN ANTENNAS.
THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE TANK ALLOWS FOR ENOUGH ROOM FOR A SECOND CARRIER TO CO-LOCATE SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO.
AND THEN WITHIN THE LEASE AREA AND THE EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURE, THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM FOR ANOTHER GENERATOR AND EQUIPMENT FOR A SECOND CARRIER IN ORDER TO HELP, UM, SCREEN THE FACILITY.
UM, THAT IS ANOTHER REQUIRED FINDING IS THAT THERE IS, UM, ADDITIONAL, WELL, THERE'S AMPLE SPACING AND SCREENING.
UH, THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO IN, UM, PLANT FIVE TREES AND A BUNCH OF SHRUBS AROUND THE FACILITY.
AND THIS IS, ONCE THE TREES ARE IN, THEY'LL LOOK, IT'LL LOOK SOMETHING LIKE WHAT'S DEPICTED HERE.
I ALSO WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A, UM, KIND OF AN IDEA OF WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE WITHIN THE CITY RIGHT NOW.
UM, CO RECENTLY WE, THIS ANOTHER FO TANK WAS APPROVED, AND THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON JULY 1ST, UM, 2020.
AND ON AUGUST 9TH, 2022, THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED THE EXECUTION OF A LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR THIS FACILITY.
THIS, UM, CARRIER, THEY'RE FINISHING UP THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND THEY EXPECT TO START CONSTRUCTION OF THIS TANK, UH, BETWEEN PROBABLY THE END OF THIS YEAR OR EARLY NEXT YEAR.
AND THIS IS ALONG THE EAST VIEW TRAIL, UM, BETWEEN BY, UM, BUTTERFIELD RANCH ROAD AND BETWEEN BUTTERFIELD RANCH ROAD AND THE 71.
AND IT'S INDICATED BY THE RED STAR ON THE SCREEN.
THE SECOND SITE, AND THIS ONE IS CURRENTLY OPERATIONAL, IS ON CAES AND MARCOS AND GRAND AVENUE.
THE LOCATION IS INDICATED BY THE RED STAR.
THIS SITE WAS APPROVED BY PLANNING COMMISSION IN DECEMBER OF 2019, AND THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE LICENSE AGREEMENT ON NOVEMBER 4TH, 2020.
AND, UM, THAT'S, THE AIR INDICATES THE WHERE THE TREE IS LOCATED AND HOW IT BLENDS IN WITH THE SURROUNDING, UM, EXISTING TREES WITHIN THE
[02:15:01]
AREA.I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE KNOW THIS, BUT THE COMMON SIGN OVER AT THE COMMON SHOPPING CENTER, UM, THAT ABAS THAT'S BEEN CONSTRUCTED IS ACTUALLY A
AND THAT WAS APPROVED, UM, IN RE IN 2018 BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
AND THIS IS AN EXISTING WATER TANK OVER AT THE GORDON RANCH SHOPPING CENTER THAT IS ALSO, UH, A WIRELESS FACILITY.
AND THIS WAS APPROVED IN 2020 BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER FAUX WATER TANK, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE OLDEST FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY.
AND THIS WAS APPROVED IN 1998.
AND THIS IS ON THE AOC PROPERTY.
UM, IT'S QUITE NOTICEABLE ALONG THE 71.
IF YOU DRIVE FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY AREA OR RIVERSIDE INTO THE CITY, YOU, YOU WOULD SEE IT ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY.
AND THIS ONE,
UM, WE'VE, WE'VE CALLED IT THE DONKEY HILL SITE.
THE PROPERTY OWNER ORIGINALLY HAD NAMED THAT THIS AREA THAT, THAT NAME.
BUT, UM, THIS IS EXISTING, UM, FAUX WINDMILL TOWER THAT WAS APPROVED IN 1999.
SO THE STEALTH, YOU COULD SEE FROM THIS, THIS SLIDE AND THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, THAT THE STEALTH FACILITY HAS COME A LONG WAY FROM WHAT IT USED TO BE IN THE 1990S.
SO, UM, THE PROJECT BENEFITS, THE MOST NOTABLE IS THAT IT WILL FILL A GAP DEMONSTRATED BY, UM, UM, AT AND T THAT THEY NEED TO FILL.
IT'LL ALSO, UM, EXPAND EMERGENCY SERVICES.
SO WITH, UM, WITH EVERY TOWER, IT HELPS EMERGENCY SERVICE RESPONDERS ACTUALLY TRY ANGULATE THE LOCATION OF A NINE ONE CALL, NINE ONE ONE CALL THAT'S MADE BY, BY A PERSON USING A CELL PHONE, REGARDLESS OF CARRIER.
SO IT DOESN'T JUST BENEFIT NINE AT AND T CUSTOMERS, IT'S EVERY WIRELESS CUSTOMER.
THEY USE EVERY TOWER IN ORDER TO TRIANGULATE THE SIGNAL.
UM, ANOTHER BENEFIT TO ENTERING A LICENSE AGREEMENT IS THAT AS A PROPERTY OWNER, WE HAVE GREATER DISCRETION IN ITS REVIEW.
AND REGARDING THE AESTHETICS AND WHETHER OR NOT THE FACILITY IS SUITABLE FOR THE LOCATION.
AND, UM, WE RECEIVE REVENUE, UM, FROM THE LAND LAND LEASE ASSOCIATED WITH, UM, THIS FACILITY.
WELL, WITH THE FACILITIES IN PUBLIC OPEN SPACE, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AUTHORIZED EXECUTION BY THE CITY MANAGER OF A COMMUNICATIONS LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH AT AND T FOR CITY OWNED OPEN SPACE AT 47 40 SOCO CANYON PARKWAY, ALONG THE BUTTERFIELD TRAIL BETWEEN SOCO CANYON PARKWAY AND TROY PINES.
DRIVE AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING WIRELESS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 21 W C P O ONE, GRANTING THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF 44 FEET FOUR INCHES, AND DETERMINING THAT THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
OR ALTERNATIVELY, YOU MAY DECLINE TO ENTER INTO THE COMMUNICATIONS LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH AT AND T FOR CITY OWNED OPEN SPACE AT 47 40 SOGO CANYON, UM, BUTTERFIELD TRAIL BETWEEN SOLO KENYA PARKWAY, TORY PINES DRIVE AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION ENTITLED A RESOLUTION DENYING THE WIRELESS CONDITION.
USE PERMIT NUMBER 21 W C O P O ONE AND HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT BECAUSE AT AND T HAS NO INTEREST IN THE LAND TO PURSUE THE APPLICATION AND DIRECT STAFF TO RETURN WITH THE DISCUSSION AS TO WHETHER THE CITY COUNCIL WANTS TO CONTINUE OPENING ITS OPEN SPACE LAND TO MAJOR WIRELESS FACILITIES.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE QUESTIONS IN A SECOND.
I DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER CARD AT THIS TIME.
SO I'M GONNA OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.
DOES THE APPLICANT WANT TO SPEAK? DO WE WANNA LET THEM SPEAK FIRST? YES, WE WOULD HAVE THEM SPEAK FIRST IF THEY, YEAH.
UH, GOOD EVENING, UH, MAYOR, COUNSEL AND STAFF.
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS FOR AT AND T.
[02:20:01]
UH, ALSO THE STATEWIDE TRIBAL LIAISON FOR AT AND T.SO SUPPORTING, UH, ALL THE GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND CORPORATE PHILANTHROPY FOR BOTH COUNTIES, AS WELL AS ALL 109 FAIRLY RECOGNIZED TRIBES IN CALIFORNIA.
I WANTED TO JUMP UP AND HELP ANSWER SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAD.
SO I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS YOU GUYS PRESENTED EARLIER.
BUT I DID WANT TO ADD TOVES PRESENTATION.
NOT ONLY WILL, UM, SELL SITES, UH, HELP TRIANGULATE, UH, 9 1 1 SERVICES FOR ALL CUSTOMERS, BUT AT AND T IS EMBARKING ON A 25 YEAR AGREEMENT WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO, UH, BUILD, MAINTAIN, AND UPGRADE, UH, THE FIRST NET NETWORK.
UH, SO WE ARE EXCLUSIVE TO THAT.
AND SO WE ARE MANDATED, UH, BY THAT AGREEMENT WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND REQUIRED TO, IN CALIFORNIA, INSTALL CLOSE TO A THOUSAND CELL SITES, UM, TO, UH, BRING, UH, IMPROVED COMMUNICATIONS FOR ALL FIRST RESPONDERS THAT ADOPT TO FIRST NET.
UM, AND SO THIS PROVIDES A, UM, A ESSENTIALLY A CARPOOL LANE FOR FIRST RESPONDERS.
AND THE USERS THAT, UH, SUPPORT THE FIRST RESPONDERS, FOR EXAMPLE, CITY COUNCIL, COULD BE ON FIRSTNET, UH, POLICE CHIEF, FIRE CHIEF DEPUTIES, AND EVEN, UH, THEY CAN ALSO USE THAT ON THEIR OWN PERSONAL DEVICES.
AND SO IT PROVIDES A PRIORITY AND PREEMPTION USE ON THAT NETWORK THAT THEY CANNOT COMPETE WITH A COMMERCIAL USER.
SO WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT HIS CELL SITE, I THINK AT AND T IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, UH, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT ONE OF OUR CELL SITES, CUZ NOT ONLY ARE WE PROVIDING SERVICE TO OUR COMMERCIAL USERS, BUT NOW IT'S IMPACTING A DECISION THAT'S GONNA IMPACT, UH, FOLKS THAT ARE ON, UH, THAT FIRST NET NETWORK, WHICH IS, UM, MANAGED.
AND, UH, THE OVERSIGHT IS BY THE FIRST AND AUTHORITY, WHICH IS A FEDERAL AGENCY.
SO TO ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED EARLIER, UM, UH, YEAH, I WOULD ALSO TELL YOU TO, UH, THAT YOU SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE INDUSTRY TO CO-LOCATE ON THESE CELL SITES.
NOW, I'M, I'M NOT GONNA ASK YOU TO ALLOW US TO BUILD, TO ALLOW US TO BUILD 150 FOOT CELL SITE, CUZ THAT ESSENTIALLY WOULD ALLOW AND ENCOURAGE ALL THREE COMPANIES, UH, TO BE ON THAT CELL SITE.
SO, BUT I DOUBT YOU'RE GONNA WANT 150 FOOT CELL SITE ALL OVER YOUR CITY, RIGHT? TO ALLOW ALL 30 CARRIERS.
PLUS THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THOSE TWO OTHER TWO CARRIERS ARE GONNA WANT TO BE ON THAT CELL SITE.
MAYBE THEY HAVE A CELL SITE A HALF A MILE, UH, OR THAT CELL SITE'S GONNA BE PROPOSED AND THERE WON'T BE NO NEED FOR THEM TO BE ON THAT CELL SITE.
TYPICALLY, THE COVERAGE IS ABOUT TWO MILES.
SO AGAIN, THAT'S WHY I SAY IF A, IF ANOTHER PROVIDER ALREADY HAS A CELL SITE HALF A MILE AWAY, THEY'RE MORE THAN LIKELY THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE, UH, THERE, THERE WON'T BE NO NEED FOR THEM TO BE ON THAT, ON THAT CELL SITE THAT'S BEING BUILT.
THE STREET LIGHTS, THEY PROVIDE A COVERAGE OF 1500 FEET.
SO, UM, I'VE, I'VE SEEN THE EVOLUTION, UH, WHEN I STARTED 24 YEARS AGO WITH THIS COMPANY, WITH PACIFIC BELL, WITH OUR LANDLINE SERVICES, UH, TO NOW HIGH SPEED INTERNET SERVICES TO ALL THE, UH, MERGERS OF ALL THE CELL PHONE COMPANIES.
AND YOU SAW THE EVOLUTION OF OUR CELL SITES AND THE LAST 20 SOMETHING YEARS, I THINK THEY'VE EVOLVED VERY WELL.
BUT WE WANNA WORK WITH OUR CITIES.
UH, WHEN WE'RE DEPLOYING THIS INFRASTRUCTURE, THAT'S WHERE WE COME TO YOU GUYS FROM DAY ONE AND SAY, IS THIS OKAY? YOU GUYS PICK THE DESIGN.
DO YOU WANT A TREE? DO YOU WANT A TANK? I MEAN, TYPICALLY A TRIO COST US A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS, BUT WE'RE NOW, WE'RE PUTTING IN A WATER TANK THAT COULD BE CLOSE TO A MILLION DOLLARS IN CONSTRUCTION.
SO THERE'S, THERE'S ALSO AN INVESTMENT THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE TO NOT ONLY IMPROVE COVERAGE AND CAPACITY TO CONSUMERS AND PUBLIC SAFETY, BUT THAT'S AN INVESTMENT WE'RE ALSO MAKING, UM, TO IMPROVE THE AESTHETICS OF THAT CELL SITE.
SO WE'RE HERE, WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS AND WE WANNA WORK WITH YOUR CITY.
YES, YOU WOULD BE THE LANDLORD ON ANY CITY LOAN, UH, CITY OWNED LAND.
SO YES, IN THE END, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY, WE DON'T WANT YOU ON, ON THIS LAND.
GO FIND YOURSELF A, A PRIVATE OWNER OF A SPECIFIC LAND AND WON'T GO THAT ROUTE.
BUT WE WILL FOLLOW ALL CITY ORDINANCES, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT THE BEST AVAILABLE FOR, UH, THE LEADERSHIP AND ALSO THE COMMUNITY.
SO BE HAPPY TO WANT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HERE AND IF WE DO HAVE QUESTIONS, WE MIGHT BE CALLING YOU BACK UP, IF THAT'S OKAY.
HE'S OUR, HE'S OUR CONTRACTOR, SO HE WOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY TO THIS SITE, BUT I CAN ANSWER MORE FROM A, FROM A HIGHER LEVEL.
THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO OPEN UP, UH, PUBLIC HEARING.
CITY COUNCIL, CITY STAFF, UH, RESIDENTS.
UM, I'M A 32 YEAR RESIDENT OF CHINO HILLS.
I LIVE LITERALLY RIGHT WHERE TER PARK IS.
UM, IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF THE AREA, UM, ON THAT HILL USED TO BE SCE LATTICE TOWERS.
IT USED TO GO THROUGH UP THROUGH TER PARK AND UP INTO, UM, CHINO HILL STATE PARK.
UM, IT WAS REALLY NICE WHEN THOSE CAME DOWN BECAUSE THE VIEW OPENED UP, UM, TO HAVE ANOTHER GIANT WATER TOWER UP
[02:25:01]
THERE IS NOT WHAT THE VIEW I THINK ANYBODY IS LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING, UH, JUST HAVING A HILL UP THERE, UM, BY ITSELF IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE STAY THERE.UM, A SITE THAT I DID NOT SEE, AND I DON'T KNOW THE REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD FIT IT, IS WE'RE BUILDING A BRAND NEW FIRE DEPARTMENT RIGHT UP ON SOWELL, UH, BEHIND THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF A TOWER COULD GO UP THERE, BUT IT'S HIDDEN BEHIND A FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, BUILDING BEHIND THAT.
I DON'T KNOW THAT, I'M NOT A, YOU KNOW, GEOLOGIST OR ANYTHING TO THOSE HILL SITES.
UM, BUT UM, I'M JUST OPPOSED TO HAVING SOMETHING PUT UP THERE.
UM, IT SOUNDS GREAT WITH TREES AND PLANTS AND BUSHES, BUT WE'RE IN A DROUGHT.
ARE THEY GONNA GROW? ARE THEY GONNA MAINTAIN? IS IT GONNA BE SOMETHING, IS IT GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, BROWN AND DEAD? SO JUST, YOU KNOW, WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT THE HILL REMAINS A HILL, SORT OF LIKE WHAT ART WAS SAYING.
UM, IT MAY NOT BE A PROMINENT RIDGE LINE, BUT FROM US LOOKING OUT, CLIMBING, I HIKE THAT HILL QUITE OFTEN.
UM, TO HAVE IT TO BE THE WAY IT IS TODAY WOULD BE, UH, APPRECIATED.
ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? NO OTHER SPEAKERS? I SAW A CARD.
I'M GONNA CLOSE ON AND BRING IT BACK TO US.
ANY QUESTIONS, BRIAN? OH, NO, I'VE BEEN TALKING PLENTY.
I'LL KEEP GOING AFTER YOU ASK.
I THINK I'VE ASKED THE, THE QUESTIONS.
THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY MUCH ANSWERED.
FIRST OF ALL, THE LIGHT POST, UM, THERE'S SPECULATION THAT IF WE DO PUT IT ON A LIGHT POST, HOW HIGH COULD THEY GO IF WE DIDN'T DO THIS TANK AND THEY PUT IT ON A LIGHT POST? CAN THEY HAVE IT AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE TO, FOR COVERAGE? I'M GONNA EVE HANDLES ALL OUR WIRELESS APPLICATIONS, SO I'M GONNA HAVE HER COME UP HERE BECAUSE SHE IS OUR EXPERT.
THE REASON I ASK THIS QUESTION, IF THEY DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE 130 FEET AND WHATEVER IT IS, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE TRADE OFFS WOULD BE.
SO EITHER THE WATER TOWER OR IF THEY PUT A TOWER ON THE STREET, WHAT ARE OPTIONS? IT'S NOT A SIMPLE ANSWER, IT'S NOT A TOTAL ONE TO ONE CORRELATION, BECAUSE IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE, THE TOPOGRAPHY.
UM, NOW THE TANKS DO THE WATER, THE MAJOR FACILITIES, LIKE HE SAID, THE SIGNAL GOES FOR ABOUT TWO MILES.
UM, HOWEVER, IF THERE'S MORE HILLS, THEY MAY SUPPLEMENT THAT SIGNAL STRENGTH WITH A STREETLIGHT FACILITY.
BUT AGAIN, THOSE, THE STREETLIGHT FACILITIES ONLY REACH A HUNDRED, LIKE 1500 FEET AS FAR AS SINGLE STRENGTH GO.
SO THE TRADE OFF WOULD BE NO TOWERS, MORE STREETLIGHT FACILITIES.
SO YOU'LL SEE ALMOST EVERY STREETLIGHT WITH A ANTENNA ON IT.
WHEN YOU SAY EVERY STREETLIGHT, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT, OKAY, IS THERE A HEIGHT REQUIREMENT ON A STREETLIGHT? YES.
UM, 28 FEET ON A LOCAL STREET AND 32 FEET ON A MAJOR ARTERIAL.
SO POSSIBLY TO, TO DO THE COVERAGE WOULD BE PUTTING MORE LIGHTS MAYBE AT 32 FEET THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO HAVE BETTER COVERAGE, CORRECT? MM-HMM.
SO BASICALLY ANOTHER QUESTION I DO HAVE.
HIGHER, THE BETTER ON A WATER TANK.
HIGHER, HIGHER, IT'LL JUST HAVE BETTER COVERAGE.
CORRECT? YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT DIAGRAM WHERE THERE WAS MORE GREEN.
SO THAT SHOWS BETTER COVERAGE MM-HMM.
NOW WITH 5G, ONCE 5G STARTS TAKING EFFECT, ISN'T THAT LIKE EVERY 500 FEET? ACTUALLY, IT DEPENDS ON THE TECHNOLOGY, BECAUSE THERE ARE, UM, A LOT OF CARRIERS AND 18, I'M SAY ALL OF THEM ACTUALLY.
THEY DO INSTALL 5G AND ANTENNAS ON THEIR MAJOR FACILITIES.
UM, T-MOBILE IS, IS DONE A MAJOR RETROFIT ON A LOT OF THE EXISTING, UH, TOWERS THAT THEY HAVE WITHIN THE CITY.
AND IT INCLUDES A LOT OF 5G ANTENNAS.
UM, IT, I THINK IT, IT'S, THEY, THEY CAN SPEAK MORE TO US FAR, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE THE EXPERTS HERE.
CAN YOU GUYS COME ON, COME ON UP AND ANSWER THAT QUESTION ON 5G.
WHAT'S THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TOWERS? SO AT AND T'S THE DESIGN OF ITS NETWORK, 5G IS ESSENTIALLY MILLIMETER WAVE.
AND THAT IS USED ON THE SMALL CELLS, THE STREET LIGHTS.
AND WHAT'S THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ANTENNAS? THAT'S 1500 FEET, 1500 FEET ALSO.
SO DO YOU TYPICALLY NEED TO DO BOTH THE, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S DIFFERENT MILLIMETER FOR US, FOR US, THE LARGER MACRO CELL SITES, FOR US, 5G IS JUST A SOFTWARE UPGRADE.
OUR, OUR 5G DEPLOYMENT WOULD BE SMALL CELLS, WHICH WOULD BE YOUR STREET LIGHTS, WHICH I THINK WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH THE CITY ON THAT AGREEMENT FOR TO DEPLOY SMALL CELLS.
BUT, SO THEN THE WATER TOWER COULD BE CONVERTED TO 5G? IT COULD BE, BUT IT'S ONLY GONNA BE A SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO IT.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SPECTRUM THAT IT'S SHOOTING OUT.
[02:30:01]
DEPLOY THAT ON SMALL CELLS, WHICH WOULD BE THE STREETLIGHTS.WHAT TYPE OF THINGS DOES THE 5G, UM, WAVE ACTUALLY, WHAT IS IT UTILIZED FOR? IS IT LIKE FOR, UM, CARS SMART THINGS? IT, IT, IT, UM, IT'S GONNA PREPARE, IT'S GONNA PREPARE US FOR THAT, BUT WE'RE STILL YEARS AWAY FROM USING IT FOR SMART CARS FOR, YOU KNOW, DRIVERLESS, DRIVERLESS VEHICLES.
UH, 5G IS JUST GONNA BE FOR YOU TO HAVE A FASTER SPEED ON YOUR IPAD, YOUR CELL PHONE, YOUR, YOUR WATCH.
UM, YOU KNOW, SO YOU COULD SEE FIVE, YOU KNOW, FULL BARS ON YOUR PHONE, BUT THE MOMENT THAT SOFTWARE UPDATE IS, IS UPDATED IN YOUR AREA THAN YOU MIGHT SEE 500 MEGS ON YOUR PHONE NOW AS OPPOSED TO 200 MEGS.
AND SO IT'S GONNA BE A FASTER SPEED, FASTER THROUGHPUT ON YOUR, ON YOUR, ON YOUR WHATEVER DEVICE YOU'RE USING.
AND NOT EVERY, AND NOT EVERY CELL SET RIGHT NOW HAS 5G, AT LEAST FOR AT AND T.
I CAN'T SPEAK ON THE OTHER TWO CARRIERS, BUT, WELL, AND I, NO, THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW, AND I THINK TO, TO THAT POINT, THIS IS ONE GROUP OF CUSTOMERS FOR ONE CERTAIN COMPANY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING THIS FOR.
AND YOU KNOW, TO ART'S POINT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, RIDGE LINES AND HAVING THESE THINGS, THINGS KIND OF DOTTING THROUGH THE AREA, YOU KNOW, JUST CUZ WE CAN DO SOMETHING IN CITY OWNED SPACE, I DON'T THINK NECESSARILY MEANS WE NEED TO OR HAVE TO, I, I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A POLICY ABOUT THIS THAT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY GO TO BEN FOR, YOU KNOW, THE THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN ON HOW HE THINKS THINGS, WHEN THAT'S NECESSARILY GO, I KNOW ULTIMATELY IT GOES THROUGH PLANNING AND THEN COMES TO US.
BUT I THINK IF WE GIVE BEN DIRECTION ON TRYING TO MINIMIZE, YOU KNOW, MINIMIZE, UH, THESE TYPES OF THINGS WHERE IT WILL BE, YOU KNOW, ON THE TOP OF A HILL NEXT TO HOMES, YOU KNOW, NOT FOR ANYTHING ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY AT AND T'S GREAT, BUT I THINK MORE OF JUST THE AESTHETICS, YOU KNOW, TO JEFF VA'S POINT OF VIEW, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
IT MIGHT NOT BE SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE OUT ON THE BRIDGE LINES OUT IN CHINO OR OUT IN THE STATE PARK, BUT EVERYBODY THAT DRIVES DOWN SOCAL CANYON OR TORY PINES OR AT TER OR ANY OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS, THIS THING'S GONNA BE LIKE A BEACON.
AND WILL IT HAVE TO HAVE A, A RED LIGHT ON TO FOR HEIGHT OR ANY OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS? WE'RE NOT IN A FLIGHT PATH.
NO, WE'RE NOT THAT CLOSE TO CHINO AIRPORT.
WE HAVE NEVER HAD THE REQUIREMENT FOR OKAY, GOOD.
WELL, I, I I WOULD SAY KICK IT BACK TO PLANNING, LET THEM KIND OF MULL IT OVER AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S ONE OF OUR, ONE OF OUR, UH, OPTIONS IS TO LET THEM KIND OF GO OVER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE BROUGHT UP TODAY.
OR DO WE HAVE, IS IT A UP OR DOWN FOR NOW? NO, YOU CAN CONTINUE THE ITEM.
UM, I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO GIVE STAFF DIRECTION ON WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO LOOK AT IN TERMS OF WHETHER YOU WANT IT TO BE A FULL TOWER OR YOU WANT A PINE OR YOU WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
UM, YOU CAN CONTINUE THE, UM, MEETING AND I COULD, I'D LET MS. LOMBARDO RESPOND TO HOW MUCH TIME SHE WOULD NEED, BUT I THINK SHE WOULD NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS.
ELIZABETH, JUST A CLARIFICATION, WHEN YOU SAY CONTINUE, CAN WE KICK YOU BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THEM TO REVIEW IT EVEN FURTHER BEFORE IT COMES BACK TO US? UM, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T TYPICALLY DO THAT.
UM, I, I DON'T, YOU KNOW, FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, UM, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK THAT THAT, THAT PROCEDURE I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH DOING SO.
AND, AND BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, CUZ I HAVE OTHER ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, NOT ONLY JUST THE POLICY, BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA BE MAKING, WHAT, $60,000 A YEAR IN A LEASE? IS IT WORTH THAT WE'RE NOT DOING IT FOR MONEY? AND THEN, YOU KNOW, NOW, YOU KNOW, NOW IF, YOU KNOW, IF AT AND T OR WHOEVER THE, THE CARRIER IS THAT BUILDS IT, IF THEY NOW START TO LEASE OUT TO ANOTHER CARRIER, DO THEY NOW MAKE MONEY OFF OF THIS? I DON'T KNOW.
WE, WE HAVE SUCH A FINITE AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE IN THE CITY.
I KIND OF HAVE A ROUGH TIME, YOU KNOW, LEASING IT OFF FOR, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS HOW, HOW LONG.
AND I KNOW THERE'S A, I KNOW THERE'S AN END TO THE LEASE, BUT WE SAW WHAT THOSE LEGACY TOWERS THAT YVETTE HAD, UM, THAT WE HAVE SOME THAT DON'T LOOK ALL THAT GREAT.
I KNOW I'VE COMPLAINED TO JOANNE ABOUT THE ONE THAT HAS THE CHINO HILLS LOGO ON IT DOWN ON THE ALY PROPERTY AND WE CAN'T GET THEM TO EVEN REPAINT IT AND IT LOOKS HORRIBLE.
SO I DON'T, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S NOT EVEN ON CITY PROPERTY.
WE HAVE ACTUALLY TWO, TWO WAYS TO MOVE THIS.
WE CAN EITHER MOVE IT FORWARD OR WE CAN DENY IT.
OR YOU CAN CONTINUE IT AND GIVE DIRECTION TO STAFF ABOUT HOW YOU WANT IT TO COME BACK TO YOU.
[02:35:01]
BUT THE PROPOSAL IS FOR THIS PIECE OF, THIS PARCEL OF LAND IS WHAT WE'RE APPROVING.FOR, SO I DUNNO WHAT WOULD BE THE REQUEST AS TO WE'D HAVE TO DENY IT THEN, THEN I YET THEN I'D MAKE A MOTION TO DENY.
OKAY, SO THEN YOU WOULD UM, YES.
DECLINE TO ENTER INTO THE COMMUNICATIONS LICENSE AGREEMENT AND THEN ADOPT A RESOLUTION DENYING THE WIRELESS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
SO THOSE WOULD BE THE TWO ACTIONS IF YOU JUST WANNA DENY THIS AND IT COULD BE PICKED UP DOWN THE ROAD BY THEM, YOU KNOW, IF WE COME UP WITH A POLICY THAT ACTUALLY DEALS WITH LEASING CITY OWNED PROPERTY OR OPEN SPACE.
DO WE HAVE A POLICY ON THAT RIGHT NOW OR NO, IT'S, IT'S IN THE ORDINANCE.
UM, WHEN WE WERE WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT, WE WERE, WE DID ASK HIM TO MOVE IT BACK FURTHER, BUT THEN YOU HAVE A HIGHER TOWER, WHICH WE WANT.
SO, SO THERE'S ALL KINDS OF ISSUES.
THERE'S NEVER A PERFECT SOLUTION.
SO IN ORDER TO EXPAND COVERAGE, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE HIGHEST LOCATION.
SO THERE'LL BE TRADE OFFS, BUT WE CERTAINLY ARE VERY HAPPY TO COME BACK AND LOOK AT AMENDING THAT POLICY AND THAT ORDINANCE, UM, FOR YOUR, I THINK THAT'S GOOD.
AND I THINK I'D LIKE TO JUST KIND OF GET, YOU KNOW, MORE CLARIFICATION DOWN THE ROAD ON, I PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE.
HOW OFTEN DO WE HEAR FROM ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS THAT ARE THE CELL COVERAGE IN OUR CITY IS JUST INADEQUATE COMPARED TO, SO HOW DOES THAT BECOME IMPROVED? IT'S BY THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS.
I MEAN, I'M NOT AN AT AND T WE'RE NOT AT AND T PEOPLE, SO IT'S NOT GONNA BENEFIT US.
BUT I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND IF WE'RE GONNA MOVE FORWARD WITH IMPROVING CELL SERVICE, WE MAY HAVE TO, THERE'S SOME TRADE OFFS, THERE'S TRADE OFFS.
MAYOR, CAN I JUST COMMENT? UM, PLEASE, I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT HOW MANY LETTERS WENT OUT AND HOW MANY PEOPLE RESPONDED, BUT I THINK WHAT WE SOMETIMES FORGET IS HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY USING A NETWORK THAT'S BASICALLY TELLING US OR THE OR, OR VERIZON OR, OR T-MOBILE COME BUILD A SITE HERE BECAUSE WE'RE ASKING TO DO THAT BASED ON OUR USAGE OF OUR DEVICES.
SO I I MEAN THAT'S PROBABLY IN THE THOUSANDS.
SO IF, IF I WERE TO TELL YOU, HEY, WELL WE'RE, WE'RE BUILDING A CELL SITE BECAUSE THE PUBLIC IS TELLING US TO BUILD IT BASED ON THEIR NETWORK USAGE MM-HMM.
SO I MEAN, WE'RE NOT BUILDING IT JUST BECAUSE WE WANT TO BUILD IT.
SO WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THERE'S A DEMAND, THERE IS A DEMAND.
WE WOULD NOT BE SPENDING PROBABLY CLOSE TO A MILLION DOLLARS ON THIS SELL SITE IF THERE WAS NO DEMAND FOR IT.
YOU KNOW, I I I WAS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE, UH, NOTIFICATION IT'S NOW 500 FEET VERSUS, WELL IT DOESN'T REALLY GET TO JEFF'S AREA IN TER, BUT THEY'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT IT.
CERTAIN HOUSES WILL BE LOOKING AT IT AND SEEING IT BECAUSE IT'S PROMINENT.
BUT THEN AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE ANY TYPE OF, UH, VIEW ORDINANCE WITHIN THE CITY.
SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE PROTECTING SOMEONE'S VIEW.
THEY MAY OR MAY NOT BE IRRITATED WITH IT, BUT THEN AGAIN, THEY MAY BE VERY HAPPY IF THEY HAVE BETTER CELL COVERAGE.
THIS IS ONE OF THESE, YOU, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
AND UH, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE PLAYING GOLF ON THE SOUTH COURSE ON HOLE NUMBER TWO IN PARTICULAR OF OF LOS SORENS, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE GREAT COVERAGE CUZ IT'S GONNA BE RIGHT THERE.
UM, THIS IS KIND OF A UNIQUE PIECE OF PROPERTY IN THAT THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THERE.
THERE'S, THERE'S HIKING TRAILS UP THERE, WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE WOULD BE, UH, YOU KNOW, UM, AFFECTED BY THIS.
BUT WHERE ELSE, I MEAN, IF YOU WANT CELL COVERAGE, BETTER SELF COVERAGE IN THAT AREA, I, I DON'T SEE THAT THERE'S ANY OTHER LOCATION.
I THINK KICKING IT BACK, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO COMMENTS WE CAN MAKE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME THAT'S GONNA IMPROVE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS WHAT, WHAT, AND, AND I'M HEARING WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, PETER, AND, AND I'M AN AGREEING AND, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T KEEP OR MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT WE'VE GOT TO GET MORE CELL COVERAGE IN THE CITY.
NOW IF WE'RE CLARIFYING, THIS IS JUST THIS ONE LOCATION.
IS THAT CORRECT? FOR THE TIME BEING? ALL RIGHT.
SO THEN WE COULD LOOK AT THE OTHERS.
IT MAY BE THAT SOME OF THE OTHERS ARE LESS OBTRUSIVE, BUT I'M THINKING THAT, YOU KNOW, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF INPUT AND RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR SITE THAT'S GONE INTO IT.
UH, THEY CITE THE HEIGHT OF IT BASED UPON THE OTHER LOCATIONS WITH, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED PLUS TOWERS.
AND THOSE ARE ON COMMERCIAL SITES AND YOU KNOW THAT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS ARE GONNA BE LESS CONCERNED ABOUT PUBLIC INPUT, UH, IF THEY CAN LOCATE ON THEIR SITES, EVEN THOUGH WE DENY IT BECAUSE OF THE HEIGHT.
I'M INCLINED TO, UH, GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS.
I THINK ELIZABETH WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING.
NO, WELL I WAS JUST PROCEDURALLY I WAS REALIZING THERE'S ONLY FOUR OF YOU TONIGHT.
SO IT'S A RESOLUTION WHICH REQUIRES, UM, THREE OF YOU TO VOTE ON IT.
IT REQUIRES A MAJORITY TO VOTE ON THIS.
[02:40:01]
TO DENY WITH THREE OR APPROVE WITH THREE RIGHT.OR WAIT OR CONTINUE IT UNTIL, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER MORAN IS HERE AND THEN PERHAPS YOU CAN GET THREE THAT WAY.
SO IT'S UH, UH, YOU MIGHT BE HERE A LONG TIME TONIGHT.
JUST ONE, ONE LAST QUESTION FOR ME.
IF WE DENIED IT, SO WE START DOING STREET LIGHTS, WHAT IS, WHAT IS THE VISUAL, WHAT IS THE STREET LIGHT GONNA LOOK LIKE? IF I WAS TO TO LOOP, I'VE SEEN SOME OF YOUR, I'VE SEEN SOME OF YOUR SMALL CELLS THAT WERE DEPLOYED BEFORE.
UM, WE HAVEN'T DEPLOYED ANY SMALL CELLS OUT HERE.
UM, BUT TYPICALLY WHAT THE, THE, UM, OPTIONS THAT WE, WE PROVIDE THE CITIES WHEN WE'RE BUILDING 'EM OUT, IT'S A PICO DESIGN.
AND SO ESSENTIALLY WE PULL OUT THE, THE STREETLIGHT THAT'S THERE AND WE REPLACE IT WITH THE ONE THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE, AND THE ONLY THING IS AN EXTENSION OF THE POLE WHERE IT'S A CANISTER THAT SITS, THAT THE ANTENNA SITS IN THE VERY TOP OF THAT STREET LIGHT.
OTHER THAN THAT YOU WOULD NOT KNOW.
YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
I SEEN, I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE SMALL CELLS THAT HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED, NOT ONLY HERE IN OTHER CITIES WHERE I, I WOULDN'T BE HAPPY ABOUT 'EM EITHER AND I WOULD QUESTION THEM, BUT WE HAVE SOME DESIGNS OUT THERE THAT, UM, THAT I THINK THAT ARE VERY PLEASING TO THIS CITY.
AND IT'S VERY, VERY, YOU WOULDN'T, YOU WOULD KNOW UNLESS YOU REALLY LOOKED UP AND SAID, OH, THERE'S THAT CANISTER UP THERE.
YEAH, THERE'S A NUMBER OF THEM MOWING SOCO CANYON RIGHT NOW.
HOW MANY STREETLIGHTS WOULD YOU HAVE TO PUT UP TO, TO ACCOMMODATE THE SAME TYPE OF COVERAGE AS THIS ONE? UH, I THINK THEY, OUR RF FOLKS HAD ABOUT 10 AND IT DOESN'T EVEN ACCOMPLISH THE SAME COVERAGE.
IT'S NOT GONNA ACCOMPLISH 1500 FEET.
I MEAN I WOULD, I WILL, I WILL SAY THIS, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE CITY IS, IS IT IS THE LANDLORD OF THAT PROPERTY, YOU CAN ALWAYS SAY NO.
RIGHT? WHAT WE WOULD APPRECIATE IS FROM THE BEGINNING, HEY, THIS IS NOT A SITE THAT OUR CITY'S GONNA SUPPORT.
I THAT'S GONNA SAVE US A LOT OF TIME.
SAVES COUNCIL A LOT OF TIME JUST TO TELL US FROM A GGO, HEY, PROBABLY WANNA GO LOOK FOR A NEW LOCATION.
CUZ WE DON'T WANNA BE A LANDLORD OF A CELL SITE.
AND WE KNOW THAT FROM GGO WE'LL AND WE'LL, AND WE, WE RESPECT THAT.
WE, WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH IT, BUT IT'S GONNA JUST FORCE US INTO TRYING TO FIND A WILLING LANDLORD THAT'S GONNA ALLOW US TO PUT A CELL SITE.
THEN THAT'S, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE NEED.
WE NEED A WILLING LANDLORD, WE NEED A ZONED AREA THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO PUT A CELL SITE AND THEN WE HAVE TO LOOK AT FIBER AND POWER TO GET TO THAT CELL SITE.
SO THOSE THINGS THAT WE ALL HAVE TO, TO LOOK AT WHEN WE'RE PUTTING IN A CELL SITE AND IF FROM THE GETGO THE CITY SAYS, HEY, DON'T EVEN BOTHER, WE ACTUALLY WOULD APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S GONNA SAVE US A LOT OF TIME AND SAVE THE CITY TIME FOR HAVING TO GET TO THIS POSITION AND NOT EVEN GET THE SITE APPROVED.
AND I THINK THAT SPEAKS TO THE FACT THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE A POLICY GOING FORWARD.
CUZ THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS A COMPANY LIKE AT AND T SITTING THERE AND SINKING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY INTO THE PLANNING JUST TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY BEING TOLD NO.
OR ANY OF THE OTHER, ANY OF THE OTHER FOLKS.
YEAH, BUT THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
I MEAN YOUR CITY MANAGER AND YOUR STAFF PROBABLY HAVE THE BEST PULSE OF RIGHT.
OF WHAT YOU GUYS, YOUR VISION IS.
THEN THEY'LL EASILY TELL US, HEY, DON'T EVEN BOTHER COMING HERE CUZ THE CURRENT LEADERSHIP'S NOT GONNA SUPPORT IT.
SO YOU STARTED TO DO A MOTION, YOU'RE GONNA RESCIND THAT OR YOU NO, I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT.
I'M SURE IT'LL DIE FOR LACK OF A SECOND, BUT, OKAY.
IS THERE A SECOND BY ANYBODY? NO.
I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE ITEM AS AS PROPOSED BY THE CITY STAFF AND I WILL SECOND THAT.
CAN I CLARIFY SOMETHING? SORRY, ON THIS, THERE THERE'S TWO, UM, THERE'S SORT OF TWO VOTES GOING ON.
SO YOU'RE GOING THE APPROVAL OF THE COMMUNICATIONS LICENSE AND THEN, UM, RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, BUT THERE WAS ALSO THE FOURTH OR THE FIFTH DEPENDING ON WHICH THING WAS THE DISCUSSION.
SO I THINK YOU WANT TO ALSO MOVE THE, UM, THE STAFF TO COME BACK TO YOU.
UM, AND THAT WAS SORT OF PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION AS WELL.
SO WHAT WE'RE HEARING IS YOU WANNA HAVE STAFF COME BACK TO YOU AND GIVE, UM, OPTIONS IN TERMS OF THE POLICY GOING FORWARD FOR THESE FACILITIES GOING FORWARD.
SO THAT'S PART OF THIS RECOMMENDATION THAT ADDRESSES YOUR CONCERN, I THINK.
AND I GUESS WHAT WOULD THAT DO REGARD REGARDING THE FIVE THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PIPELINE.
ARE WE NOW COMMITTED TO FIVE OTHER ONES? JUST THIS ONE? CORRECT.
THIS IS JUST THIS ONE AND THEN YOU'RE ASKING STAFF TO COME BACK.
WE DON'T HAVE A POLICY AND DISCUSS YOUR POLICY GOING FORWARD ON THESE.
ALSO PROVIDE A CUP POLICY GOING FORWARD.
I THINK, WHICH ADDRESSES YOUR LEASE EXPLORING.
OKAY, SO YOU'RE DOING THOSE THREE THINGS APPROVING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, SLIGHT AND THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
UM, GRANTING AUTHORITY FOR THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A COMMUNICATIONS LICENSE AGREEMENT, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL AS TO FORM BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.
UM, AND THEN ALSO DIRECTING STAFF TO COME BACK WITH, YOU KNOW, OPTIONS AND POLICIES FOR YOU.
IS THAT YOUR MOTION, PETER? EXCUSE ME? I I I'D ACTUALLY THINK WE MIGHT WANT TO BREAK THOSE UP BECAUSE MOVING THE PROJECT FORWARD WITH THE FIRST TWO IS I'M GONNA ASSUME SOMETHING THAT BRIAN WOULD NOT SUPPORT COUNCIL MEMBER JOE'S.
HOWEVER, THE LAST ITEM OF DIRECTING US TO LOOK AT IT AND BRING ADDITIONAL
[02:45:01]
GUIDANCE FROM THE COUNCIL MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE SUPPORTED.SO I'D LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD BREAK THOSE TWO UP.
SO YOU WANNA READ AND I, AND, AND I WILL SECOND THAT BREAKING IT UP INTO THE YEAH.
WITH THE POLICY BEING THE SECOND VOTE.
SO THE FIRST VOTE IS APPROVING THE LICENSE AGREEMENT AND THE C P, THEN WE WILL TAKE THE VOTE AND THEN WE WILL MOVE TO VOTE THE LAST SECTION.
YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT? OKAY, WITH THAT VOTE YES.
MOTION PASSES THREE ONE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER JOE'S VOTING NO.
I THINK WE'VE GOT THE SECOND VOTE AND THE SECOND VOTE FOR THE POLICY.
UH, DO WE WANNA MAKE A MOTION IN A SECOND ON THAT? I'LL MAKE A MOTION.
ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT, BETH? YES, THAT'S FINE.
I DON WE CAN KEEP MOTION IN ALL TIME.
[29. Introduce Ordinance entitled: “An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Adding Chapter 10.38 to Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the Chino Hills Municipal Code to Impose Vehicle Axle Limitations to Prohibit Vehicles With More Than Four Axles to be Operated on Carbon Canyon Road (State Route 142) and Finding the Ordinance Exempt From Review Under the California Environmental Quality Act” for first reading by title only and waiving further reading]
GO TO ITEM NUMBER 29.ITEM NUMBER 29 IS TO INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS, ADDING CHAPTER 10.38 TO TITLE 10 VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC OF THE CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO IMPOSE VEHICLE AXLE LIMITATIONS TO PROHIBIT VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN FOUR AXLES TO BE OPERATED ON CARBON CANYON ROAD STATE ROUTE 1 42 AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE EXEMPT FROM REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FOR FIRST READING BY TITLE ONLY AND WAITING FURTHER READING PUBLIC WORKS.
UM, LIKE TO INTRODUCE, UH, DEEPAK, UM, SORRY IF I MISPRONOUNCED HIS LAST NAME.
UH, THEY'RE THE, UH, CONSULTANT THAT, UM, WORKED ON THE, THE CARBON CANYON TRUCK RESTRICTION STUDY.
IS THERE A CLICKER HERE? IT'S IN THE MIDDLE.
SO I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION.
I'M WITH IT TERRACE PRINCIPAL ENGINEER.
WE WERE HIRED BY THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS TO DO A TRUCK RESTRICTION STUDY OF CARBON CANYON ROAD, UH, WHICH IS AS MENTIONED, CALTRANS ROADWAY STATE ROUTE 1 42 IN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.
A LITTLE BIT OF THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO THE PREVIOUS STUDY THAT YOU ARE ALL PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH, WHICH WAS THE CARBON CANYON PHASE TWO STUDY, WHICH COMPLETED IN, UM, I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 20 18, 20 19.
UH, SO I'LL DO A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON OUR, UM, FINDINGS AND THE RESTRICTION, AND THEN I'LL READ THE, UH, ORDINANCE.
SO THE, THE PROCESS THAT CALTRANS, UM, IDENTIFIES IN ORDER TO GO THROUGH THIS, UH, POTENTIAL RESTRICTION IS TO PREPARE INITIAL STUDY, WHICH IS WHAT WE'VE DONE AND WHICH WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU.
UM, REVIEW THAT WITH CALTRANS, GET THEIR COMMENTS.
SO WE'VE DONE THAT, WE'VE GONE THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
THE ORDINANCE HAS BEEN DRAFTED, SUBMITTED AT A CALTRANS, THEY'VE, THEY'VE REVIEWED IT.
UM, SO TODAY WE'RE HERE IN THE GREEN FOR TO PRESENT THE RESTRICTION TO COUNSEL, RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE RESTRICTION.
UM, AND THEN THE NEXT FEW STEPS ARE TO RECEIVE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS, IF THERE'S ANY, RESOLVE THEM AND PREPARE A FINAL REPORT.
SO THE PURPOSE OF TODAY IS TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
SO AGAIN, THE THE STUDY AREA THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS CARBON CANYON ROAD STATE, ROUTE 1 42 IN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.
IT'S SHOWN ON THE MAP HERE, UM, BUT REALLY OF, OF IMPORTANCE IS THE, THE S-CURVE THAT THE STEEP S-CURVE, UM, AREA NEAR AITE DRIVE.
UH, THE ROADWAY ITSELF IS A TWO-LANE UNDIVIDED ROADWAY.
AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW IN THIS PART OF TOWN, IT WIDENS INRE TO ABOUT FOUR TO SIX LANES DEPENDING ON THE AREA.
THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROADWAY VARIES FROM 35 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR, DEPENDING ON THE, THE CONFIGURATION.
AND CURRENTLY AT THE ENTRANCE ON THE CARBON, UH, CHINO HILL SIDE, THERE'S ADVISORY SIGNS.
THEY'RE NOT LEGAL SIGNS, BUT THERE'S THIS ADVISORY SIGN, UH, ADVISING AGAINST TRUCKS OVER 50 FEET OF LENGTH, UH, TRAVERSING THE, UH, THE CORRIDOR.
SO I'M JUST GONNA HIGHLIGHT A FEW RECENT INCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED HERE, WHETHER IT'S A, A COLLISION THAT WAS DOCUMENTED BY A PD OR A NEAR MISS.
THERE'S SOME JUST EXAMPLES OF HEAVY VEHICLES, UH, TRAVERSING THE SSUR AND, AND SOME OF THE, UH,
[02:50:01]
THINGS THAT HAPPENED.SO THE ONE ON THE LEFT HERE, UH, PROVIDED TO US BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, YOU CAN SEE THIS IS A HEAVY VEHICLE TRUCK.
IT LOOKS TO BE FIVE AXLES, UH, OFF TRACKING INTO THE, INTO THE LANE AS YOU CAN SEE, AND, AND HAVING AN INCIDENT WITH A PASSENGER COMING DOWNHILL.
THE ONE ON THE RIGHT WAS TAKEN BY A RESIDENT.
UH, SO THIS WAS NOT AN ACTUAL ACCIDENT, BUT IT WAS A NEAR MISS.
THE RESIDENT VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND THEN EVENTUALLY TOOK THE PIC, STOPPED AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THIS TRUCK, UM, AND GOING DOWN THE HILL OFF TRACKING INTO HIS OR HER LANE.
THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER INCIDENT, UH, I DON'T HAVE THE PHOTO FROM IT, BUT FROM PD WHERE, UH, A SEMI-TRUCK DISABLED.
THIS WAS IN 2021 IN JULY, AND IT WAS ACTUALLY BLOCKING THE, UH, THE TWO LANES FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES.
UM, THAT TOOK ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO, TO CLEAR THE TRUCK FROM THE ROADWAY.
AND IF YOU RECALL FROM THE PHASE TWO STUDY WE HAD, UM, DURING OUR TRAFFIC COUNTS AND, UH, DATA COLLECTION PROCESS, WE ACTUALLY SET UP A CAMERA IN THE S-CURVE RIGHT AT THE, UH, THE POINT WHERE THE, WHERE THEY TURN, UH, TO RECORD 24 HOURS OF, OF VIDEO HERE TO, TO FIND, UH, YOU KNOW, INSTANCES WHERE WE SEE HEAVY TRUCKS COMING EITHER UP AND DOWN THE HILL.
AND, UM, UH, INSTANCES WHERE THEY, UH, POTENTIALLY ARE OFF TRACKING.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE TIRE TRACKS ON THE, ON THE BOTTOM LEFT HERE HIGHLIGHTED.
SO THERE'S A COUPLE SLIDES HERE SHOWING TRUCK COMING DOWN THE HILL.
IT'S FIRST MOVEMENT, NOW IT'S OFF TRACKING INTO THE, UH, THE LEFT LANE QUITE A BIT.
AND NOW OBVIOUSLY WITH NO CAR COMING UPHILL IT, THE, THE TRUCK DRIVER OBVIOUSLY FEELS, FEELS EMBOLDENED ENOUGH TO, UM, TO ALMOST TAKE UP THE ENTIRE OPPOSITE LANE.
UH, THE OTHER INCIDENT HERE, SAME SITUATION, SAME SAME SIZE TRUCK COMING DOWN THE HILL, EXCEPT NOW YOU'VE GOT TWO PASSENGER CARS COMING UP THE HILL, UM, AT THE SAME TIME.
AND, UH, TRAVERSING VERY SLOWLY.
NO ACCIDENT WAS NO ACCIDENT, NO COLLISION OCCURRED, BUT, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE PASSENGER CAR IS GOING UPHILL, HAD TO VEER TO THE RIGHT ONTO THE SHOULDER.
SO THIS IS, THIS SEEMED PRETTY COMMON IN THE SENSE OF THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF DOCUMENTED COLLISIONS BECAUSE THE SPEEDS ARE SO SLOW, BUT, BUT THESE NEAR MISSES, UM, TEND TO HAPPEN.
SO WITH THE APPROACH TO THE TRUCK RESTRICTION, WE TOOK, UH, TWO, TWO POTENTIAL OPTIONS INTO ACCOUNT.
ONE WAS, UH, RESTRICTING, UH, TRUCKS BASED ON THE KING PIN TO REAR AXLE DISTANCE.
AND THAT'S SHOWN IN THE GRAPHIC HERE, THAT THAT'S THE, WHERE THE AXLE OR WHERE THE KING PIN IS IN THE BLACK, UH, TO THE DISTANCE BACK TO THE, THE BACK AXLE THERE.
UH, THAT'S CALLED THE KRA LENGTH OR TO LOOK AT A RESTRICTION BASED ON THE NUMBER OF AXLES OF THE TRUCK.
AND SO WE DISCUSSED WITH CALTRANS HAD A FEW MEETINGS, UM, THEY POINTED OUT THAT THE CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE ACTUALLY PROHIBITS THE CITY OR COUNTY FROM RESTRICTING THE K TO BEING LESS THAN 38 FEET.
AND SO, UH, BASED ON THE, THE COLLISION DATA AND THE INFORMATION, THE, UH, WE FELT THAT THE APPROPRIATE MOVE TO GO WAS TO RESTRICT BASED ON THE NUMBER OF AXLES NOT ON THE KPR.
SO THAT, WHAT THAT MEANS HERE, I'LL JUST, UM, WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE TRUCK RESTRICTION STUDY RECOMMENDS, UH, RESTRICTING VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN FOUR AXLES.
UH, THE GRAPHIC HERE ON THE RIGHT SHOWS F H W A CLASSIFICATIONS FOR TYPICAL VEHICLES.
THE, THE BLUE SHADED PART ACTUALLY GOT MOVED TO THE RIGHT.
IT WAS MEANT TO, UH, SHADEN VEHICLES ONE THROUGH EIGHT, WHICH YOU CAN'T REALLY READ THE NUMBERS THERE, WHICH ARE ACCEPTABLE.
AND VEHICLES NINE THROUGH 12, WHICH WOULD BE RESTRICTED VEHICLES NINE THROUGH 12, ARE FIVE AXLE SINGLE TRAILER, UH, SINGLE TRAILER OVER SIX OR MORE AXLES.
AND THEN AS THEY GET LARGER AND LARGER.
SO THAT IS THE, UH, PROPOSAL THAT IS PART OF THE ORDINANCE.
AND SO I WILL READ THE ORDINANCE, UM, HERE AND WE CAN, UH, DISCUSS AFTER THAT.
SO THE ORDINANCE HAS THREE PARTS, A, B, AND C, UH, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED PART A, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION C, BELOW, WHICH IS THE EXCEPTIONS WHICH WE'LL GET TO OR AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY THE LAW VEHICLES, WHICH CONSIST OF MORE THAN FOUR AXLES, SHALL NOT BE OPERATED ON CARBON CANYON ROAD WITHIN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.
PART B THEN SAYS, PRIOR TO THE REINFORCEMENT, THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROHIBITION IN THE SECTION ALL ENTRANCES TO THE CITY FROM ROOTS, WHERE VEHICLES CONSIST OF MORE THAN FOUR AXLES ARE PERMITTED, SHALL BE POSTED WITH SIGNS INDICATING THAT VEHICLES CONSISTING OF MORE THAN FOUR AXLES ARE PROHIBITED.
SO THAT'S THE PROHIBITION, BUT THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THAT PROHIBITION, AND THERE'S FIVE EXCEPTIONS LISTED UNDER, UM, PART C.
NUMBER ONE, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL PROHIBIT VEHICLES FROM DRIVING ON STATE
[02:55:01]
HIGHWAYS, WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE, IN THE NATIONAL SYSTEM OF INTERSTATE AND DEFENSE HIGHWAYS.PART TWO, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL PROHIBIT THE INGRESS AND EGRESS FROM VEHICLES.
THAT'S A TYPO FROM VEHICLES OR BY VEHICLES FROM PERMITTED ROUTE ONTO CARBON CANYON ROAD WHEN NECESSARY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING PICKUPS OR DELIVERIES OF GOODS WEARS.
AND MERCHANDISE FROM OR TO ANY BUILDING ARE STRUCTURE LOCATED ON A CITY STREET, OR FOR THE PURPOSE OF DELIVERING MATERIALS TO BE USED IN THE ACTUAL AND BONAFIDE REPAIR, ALTERATION, REMODELING, OR CONSTRUCTION OF ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE UPON A CITY STREET FOR WHICH A BUILDING PERMIT HAS BEEN, HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN OBTAINED.
SO THIS IS REALLY PERTAINING TO DELIVERIES OF, OF MATERIALS, UH, NOT RESTRICTING TRUCKS THAT ARE DELIVERING MATERIALS TO CONSTRUCTION ON THE, ON THE CORRIDOR OR A STREET OFF THE CORRIDOR.
SO PEOPLE IN CARBON CANYON, THIS WOULD, THERE'D BE BENEFITS IF THEY'RE BUILDING A HOUSE, YOU NEED TO GET MATERIALS, CORRECT? YEAH.
BUT IF PEOPLE LIVE IN CHINO AND THEY'RE PROVIDING GOODS TO CHINO, IS THAT AN EXEMPTION OR NOT? NOT REALLY.
RESTRICTION, I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
I MEAN, THAT, THAT, THAT IT READS, UH, ON A CITY STREET, THAT'S, THAT'S THE WAY IT READS RIGHT NOW.
SO CITY STREET BEING CARPET, CHINO.
NOT CITY OF CHINO AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T KNOW DANIEL, IF YOU, THAT'S KNOWS.
UH, NUMBER THREE, THE EXCEPTION, THIS PROVISION OF THE SECTION SHOULD NOT APPLY TO VEHICLES SUBJECT TO SECTIONS 10 31 TO 10 36, INCLUSIVE OF THE PUBLIC UTILITIES CODE.
SO UTILITY VEHICLES, ESSENTIALLY PART FOUR PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY CITY LICENSE.
REFUSE HAULING VEHICLES WHILE PICKING UP REFUSE, UH, WASTE OR GARBAGE PURSUANT TO SUCH LICENSE.
SO GARBAGE, UH, WASTEWATER, UH, WASTE VEHICLES.
AND THEN THE LAST ONE, PROVISIONS IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY TO SCHOOL BUSES OR BUSES, TRANSPORTING PERSONS ENGAGED IN ANY TYPE OF AUTHORIZED SCHOOL ACTIVITY.
SO FIVE EXCEPTIONS TO THE, UH, TO THE, UH, RESTRICTION.
QUESTIONS, HOW WILL WE ENFORCE THIS? I KNOW CHP YEAH, THERE'S, HAS THEIR OWN COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT TEAM.
ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO PONY UP MORE MONEY FOR OUR OWN HERE IN TOWN, OR, THANK YOU.
COUNCIL MEMBER JOES, UH, WE DO SEVERAL COMMERCIAL VEHICLE, UH, COLLABORATIONS IN CARBON CAN AND WITH CHP AND WITH OTHER LOCAL AGENCIES THAT HAVE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT.
SO WITH THE ADVISORY SIGNAGE THAT'S UP NOW, THAT REALLY LIMITS, UH, THE CITATIONS THAT WE CAN ISSUE AND THE, AND THE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
SO WITH THE RESTRICTIVE SIGNAGE THAT, THAT GIVES US A, UH, ENABLES US TO, UM, SITE, UM, FOR THE, THE OVER LENGTH VEHICLES AND, AND IT'S ALSO GONNA MITIGATE A BUNCH OF THOSE, UH, NEAR MISSES FOR US.
YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK ON THIS, EVERYBODY.
WHAT ABOUT THE ENFORCEMENT FROM THE BRAA SIDE? YEAH.
HAPPENS IF THEY GO PAST LIN VILLAGE? I MEAN, THERE'S NO PLACE TO TURN AROUND A VEHICLE WITH MORE THAN FOUR AXLES.
I MEAN, WHAT'S THE PRACTICAL ISSUE HERE? I MEAN, WE GONNA REALLY STOP IT.
OR I MEAN, WHAT THAT GOES TO THE ENFORCEMENT THING.
WHO'S GONNA ENFORCE IT AND WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY BLOW THROUGH THE WARNING SIGNS? SO, SO MY QUESTION WOULD BE FOR THE RESTRICTIVE SIGNAGE ON THE BRAA SIDE, IS THAT SIGNAGE GONNA BE PLACED OVER THERE AS WELL, AS WELL AS IN CHINO HILLS? THAT THAT'S THE INTENTION? YEAH.
THEY HAVEN'T TAKEN THAT ORDINANCE YET, BUT THEY, THEY'RE GONNA FOLLOW.
YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY, DO THEY HAVE TO HAVE A COMPARABLE ORDINANCE ON THAT SIDE? YEAH.
AND DO WE HAVE THEIR TOTAL, UH, A COOPERATION ON THAT? UH, THE CITY OF BRAA IS ON BOARD.
THEY WILL BE TAKING A SIMILAR ORDINANCE TO THEIR COUNCIL, UM, PRETTY SOON HERE.
UM, AND THEN CALTRANS WON'T APPROVE IT UNTIL BOTH CITIES HAVE, UH, ADOPTED THE ORDINANCES.
SO THEN THE REAL MEAT WILL COME WITH CAL IF WE BOTH IN, UH, COME UP WITH AN ORDINANCE, THEN CALTRANS, IT'LL HAVE SOME TEETH CUZ THEY'LL ACTUALLY DO THE ENFORCEMENT, RIGHT? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? THE ENFORCEMENT? YES.
THE ENFORCEMENT WILL LIKELY FALL ON US, UM, OR ON, ON CAPTAIN AL'S, UH, TEAM.
SO CALTRAN WILL BASICALLY APPROVE OUR ABILITY TO ENFORCE IT? THAT'S CORRECT, YES.
THIS WILL GIVE US THE AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? GOOD? NO, PETER, THIS IS GOOD.
THIS IS, I JUST HAVE A FEW THINGS TO SAY.
FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK THE CITY OF BRAA.
UM, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS, PETER, MYSELF, INITIATED THIS COUNCIL.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS.
UM, BUT THE CITY OF BRAA HAS BEEN A PARTNER AT THE BEGINNING MM-HMM.
AND THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THEY ARE GONNA MOVE FORWARD ON THIS.
[03:00:01]
CALTRANS, UH, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO DISTRICTS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THIS DISTRICT EIGHT AT DISTRICT 12.AND, UH, DIANE MORALES, I WANT TO THANK HER FROM DISTRICT EIGHT, UH, FOR GETTING US TO THIS, UH, PERIOD OF TIME.
UM, I KNOW THAT, UH, WE'RE TRYING TO LIMIT TRAFFIC IN CARBON CANYON TRUCK TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH THE CANYON SLOWS DOWN REGULAR TRAFFIC.
SO I'M REAL EXCITED THAT, UH, WE WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING IT.
WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY BE THE SECOND CITY OR SECOND ROAD LIKE THIS IN CALIFORNIA.
YEAH, THERE'S ACTUALLY 1 32, I THINK IS ANOTHER ONE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
1 42 WILL BE THE SECOND WITH TRUCK RESTRICTIONS.
HOPEFULLY THE WORD THEN GETS OUT EVEN TODAY, LEAVING THE GOVERNMENT CENTER TURNED AND I SAW A CAR CARRIER PARKED ON ENGLISH ROAD.
I SUSPECT IT WAS STARTING TO THINK ABOUT TAKING THAT CUT THROUGH.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS OR, OR HOW TO EVEN GET OUT OF ENGLISH ROAD, BUT IT WAS A CAR CARRIER.
IT'S JUST, SO HOPEFULLY THE WORD GETS OUT THAT THERE, THE ENFORCEMENT'S GONNA BE ENHANCED BASED ON THE ORDINANCES NOW BEING APPROVED VERSUS JUST A RECOMMENDATION.
WE NEED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ANY INDIVIDUAL OUT THERE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? WE DO NOT HAVE ANY.
SURPRISED I SPENT 33 YEARS IN THE PORT OF LOS ANGELES HELPING PEOPLE SHIP THEIR CARS, FAMILIES TO, UH, HAWAII.
THE NAME ON THAT TRUCK WAS MATSON, M A T S O N.
AND THEY HAVE VARIOUS LENGTHS OF CONTAINERS AND THEY, WHEN I WAS WITH IT, IT WAS A 24 FOOT LENGTH OR 40 FOOT LENGTH.
THEN THEY WENT TO 45 FOOT, AND I THINK THEY HAVE 55 FOOT LENGTHS.
AND THEN THESE TURNS THAT YOU JUST SAW, I THINK WAS PROBABLY EITHER A 45 FOOT LENGTH OR A 55.
AND, UM, TO, TO LIMIT, UM, THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT COMES OUT OF THE PORT TO, UH, TO KEEPING IT AWAY FROM WHAT IS DANGEROUS FOR, FOR THE, FOR THE PUBLIC.
PUBLIC'S A GREAT SERVICE AND THE WAY YOU'VE BEEN GOING ABOUT IT, WHAT I'M LISTENING TO IS REALLY QUITE PROFOUND AND VERY EFFECTIVE.
UH, AS LONG AS BOTH SIDES ARE GETTING THE WORD OUT THAT THE, THESE TRUCKS FROM THE PORT DON'T GO THROUGH THERE.
ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER? I SEE NONE GONNA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
HEY, YOU GUYS DID A LOT OF WORK ON THOSE.

[ SAFETY UPDATES - Police and Fire]
CHIEF.GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MARQUEZ, VICE MAYOR ROGERS COUNSEL AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
[03:05:01]
GOT TWO CASE UPDATES AND, UM, SO I'LL GO WITH THOSE.ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH, DEPUTIES CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP FOR A SPEEDING VIOLATION ON SOCAL CANYON.
THE DRIVER IS FOUND TO HAVE TWO FELONY CONVICTIONS AND A VEHICLE SEARCH YIELDED TWO LOADED HANDGUNS, WHICH, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE UNSER GHOST GUNS.
THE DRIVER WAS ARRESTED AND TRANSPORTED TO JAIL FOR FELON IN POSSESSION OF A FIREARM.
A SUBSEQUENT SEARCH WARRANT WAS WRITTEN FOR THE SUSPECT'S RESIDENCE IN CHINO HILLS AND SEVERAL UNSER, ADDITIONAL AR 15 TYPE RIFLES AND GLOCK HANDGUNS WERE LOCATED INSIDE THE RESIDENCE.
THE SUSPECT WAS MANUFACTURING THE FIREARMS AND SELLING THEM TO GENERATE INCOME.
OKAY, AND I HAVE A, ANOTHER A L P R SUCCESS STORY.
ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH, DEPUTIES RECEIVED AN A L P R NOTIFICATION OF A STOLEN VEHICLE IN CHINO HILLS.
AFTER SEARCHING FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES, THE DEPUTIES LOCATED THE OCCUPIED VEHICLE AT GRAND AND CHINO HILLS PARKWAY.
A SHORT PURSUIT IN ENSUED IN WHICH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER BEGAN THROWING ITEMS FROM THE VEHICLE.
THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY CRASHED AT PEYTON AND EUCALYPTUS AND THE FEMALE DRIVER FLED ON FOOT.
THE MALE PASSENGER REMAINED IN THE VEHICLE AND WAS ARRESTED AFTER A SHORT FOOT PURSUIT.
DEPUTIES CAUGHT THE FEMALE AND SHE WAS ALSO ARRESTED.
DEPUTIES LOCATED STOLEN MALE AND SEVERAL ITEMS STOLEN FROM VEHICLE BURGLARIES IN CHINO HILLS.
THE FEMALE WAS FOUND TO BE ON ACTIVE PAROLE, AND THE MALE WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON EARLIER THAT DAY.
AFTER SERVING FIVE YEARS, THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPORTED STOLEN OUTTA SAN BERNARDINO.
BOTH SUBJECTS WERE TRANSPORTED TO JAIL FOR BOOKING.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO REMIND THE COMMUNITY WITH THE HOLIDAY SEASON UPON US, WE'VE ADDED FOOT IN BICYCLE PATROLS IN OUR SHOPPING CENTERS AND INCREASED OUR PROACTIVE PATROL TIME AT THE SHOPS.
WE WILL ALSO BE UTILIZING PLAIN CLOTHES PERSONNEL IN AN EFFORT TO IDENTIFY ORGANIZED RETAIL THEFT SUSPECTS AT THE SHOPS AND TAKE THEM INTO CUSTODY BEFORE THEY FLEE THE SCENE.
CAN, CAN YOU GO AHEAD, UH, CAPTAIN, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT THE TRAGIC FATALITY THAT OCCURRED ON PEYTON RECENTLY? DO WE HAVE ANY? UH, I CAN PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT.
UM, IT DID, UH, IT WAS A SINGLE OCCUPIED VEHICLE.
UM, ALCOHOL DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A FACTOR AND IT, UM, THE, UH, IT WAS PROBABLY RELATED TO JUST SOME DISTRACTED DRIVING.
AND THE, UH, THE, SHE WAS NOT A RESIDENT OF CHINO HILLS, A DIAMOND BAR AS I RECALL.
BUT MAYBE TEXTING OR SOMETHING, WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
CHIEF, CAN YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THOSE SIGNS TO YOUR LEFT THAT ARE ON THE FLOOR? YEAH.
UH, SO THESE SIGNS WERE BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY ONE OF OUR SSSS, WHO ARE BASICALLY OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICERS.
AND, UM, ALSO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, UH, SENT ME A PICTURE OF THESE SIGNS.
UH, AFTER RECEIVING THOSE PICTURES, WE SENT DEPUTIES OUT TO LOCATIONS AND THE SIGNS HAD ALREADY BEEN REMOVED.
UH, WE CONTACTED THE PROPERTY OWNER AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE SIGNS.
UM, THESE WERE THE ONLY TWO SIGNS THAT WE ARE AWARE OF IN THE CITY, AND THEY'RE NOT COMMERCIALLY PRODUCED SIGNS.
THEY'RE MORE HOMEGROWN, UH, SIGNS.
UM, ALSO, UH, I WERE ACTIVELY PURSUING, UH, UH, THE PERSONS THAT PUT THESE SIGNS OUT AND CONDUCTING INVESTIGATION.
I CONTACTED OUR SHERIFF'S INTELLIGENCE DIVISION, UM, WHO ALSO WORKED WITH THE FBI AND THE JOINT TERRORISM TASK FORCE, AND THE PERSON THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHINO HILLS AND, UH, IS ALSO LOOKING INTO THAT.
SO THEY'RE AWARE OF THAT AS WELL.

HE HAD A POSITIVE CAN DO ATTITUDE THAT WAS INSPIRATIONAL, TOVE ALL THE LIVES HE HAS TOUCHED HIS ENTHUSIASM, PARTICIPATED IN THE CITY'S EVENTS WE HELD AT THE SHOPS, AND ALWAYS WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP OUR STAFF AND DELIVERY THE BEST EVENT POSSIBLE TO OUR RESIDENTS FROM TRICK OR TREAT TO WINE.
BUBBA TRULY LOVED BEING PART OF THIS COMMUNITY AND MAKING THE SHOPS SUCH AN ENJOYABLE PLACE AND EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE.
IF YOU WALKED TO THE SHOPS ON ANY GIVEN DAY, HE WAS GUARANTEED.
YOU WOULD SEE THIS BIG SHINY SMILE FROM THIS REALLY BIG PERSON BUBBA.
AND, UH, HE WOULD GREET YOU AND HE WOULD JUST WAS JUST A TREMENDOUS PERSON.
AND NO MATTER WHAT HE WAS DOING, HE ALWAYS GREETED YOU WITH A FRIENDLY HELLO OR BIG WAVE.

AND THE SHOPS ARE JUST, WHEN THEY SOLD THE SHOPS, IT WAS A CONDITION OF THEM SELLING THE SHELVES THAT, OR THE SHOPS THAT HE WOULD GO WITH, WITH THE, UH, THE NEW BUYER BECAUSE HE JUST KNOWS THAT PLACE LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HAND.
