[10. Authorize City Manager to execute Amendment No. 36 to Agreement A94-93 (County Agreement 94-765) with San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department to increase net cost for Fiscal Year 2022-23 by $515,587 for total net cost of $16,876,094, for increased personnel related costs and third School Resource Officer to provide additional coverage at schools as needed]
POLL ITEM NUMBER 10, UM, TO AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AMENDMENT NUMBER 36 TO A AMEND AMENDMENT A 94 DASH 93, UH, WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO INCREASE THE NET COST FOR FISCAL YEAR 2223 BY FIVE, $515,587 FOR A TOTAL NET COST OF $16,876,094 FOR INCREASED PERSONNEL RELATED COSTS.AND THIRD, A THIRD SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL COVERAGE AT SCHOOLS.
I JUST WANTED THE, OUR COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT, UM, HOW PROACTIVE WE ARE IN ENSURING THE SAFETY OF YOUR STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY.
SO, AND WE DO FUND THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS ALONG WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND, UM, SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO GET PULLED AWAY FROM THE TWO HIGH SCHOOLS.
NOW THERE'S GONNA BE DEDICATED, A DEDICATED ONE FOR OUR JUNIOR HIGHS.
SO I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF PUT THAT IN THE FRONT FOR THE PARENTS TO KNOW.
AND WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
WE'RE, AND I'LL SECOND AND A SECOND, CAN I MAKE ONE ADDITION, ADDITIONAL COMMENT, AND I WILL ALSO MAKE A COMMENT.
JUST FOR COMPARISON, UH, THIS RAISES OUR SHERIFF'S BUDGET UP TO $16,876,000.
UH, I BELIEVE IT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER THIS WEEKEND THAT THE CHINO BUDGET FOR, FOR THEIR POLICE IS 50.6 MILLION.
SO BY COMPARISON, I THINK THAT WE ARE SECOND TO NONE, AND THAT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND PROTECTION THAT WE GET FROM SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS SOMETHING THAT IS, UH, MORE THAN VALUABLE AND AT A VERY, VERY REASONABLE COST TO THIS CITY.
SO, UH, KUDOS TO THE ORIGINAL COUNCIL THAT DECIDED TO CONTRACT WITH THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT INSTEAD OF CREATING OUR OWN, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT.
JUST WANTED MAKE THAT, THAT POINT.
AND THE POINT I WANTED TO MAKE IS THAT THIS REFLECTS ALSO A, A COST OF LIVING RAISE, OR IS IT COST OF LIVING OR JUST COST OF LIVING RAISE TO ALL OF OUR DEPUTIES AND EXECUTIVE STAFF.
SO THAT'S IMPORTANT TO TRY TO KEEP UP WITH OTHER, UH, ENTITIES AROUND US THAT MAY HAVE SLIGHTLY BETTER PAY SCALE.
WE'RE TRYING TO CATCH UP AS A COUNTY AND THAT THIS RAISE IS PART OF THAT MAKES UP PART OF THAT, UH, THIS 500,000 APPROXIMATELY.
AND THANK ALL OF OUR DEPUTIES FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO FOR US, MR. MAYOR, REAL FAST.
UM, AGAIN, WE ARE ONE OF THE FEW CITIES, UH, MOST HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE A RESOURCE OFFICER.
AND AGAIN, LIKE WHAT CYNTHIA JUST SAID, WE'RE GONNA HAVE AN ADDITIONAL ONE THAT ACTUALLY WILL BE GOING TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, HIGH SCHOOL AND ALSO JUNIOR, JUNIOR HIGH.
SO WE ARE ONE OF THE FEW, AND IT'S JUST AMAZING THAT WE COULD DO THIS.
AND I THINK IT'S WELL, MONEY WELL SPENT.
SO DEFINITELY IS, AND I'LL, I'LL CHIME IN AS WELL.
AS A PARENT OF A KID AT ONE OF OUR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS, I KNOW EVERY NOW AND THEN, YOU KNOW, DROPPING HIM OFF, SEEING, UH, ONE OF OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS GETTING PULLED AWAY FROM ONE OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS TO DEAL WITH AN ISSUE, THE FACT THAT WE ARE GONNA BE COMMITTING FUNDING FOR BOTH CANYON, YOU KNOW, CANYON HILLS AND TOWNSEND JUNIOR HIGH IS, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY A COMMITMENT FROM THE CITY COUNCIL AND FROM THE CITY ITSELF TOWARDS, YOU KNOW, ENSURING THE PUBLIC SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS.
SO, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FOR BEING WILLING TO HELP US FUND THIS ADDITIONAL OFFICER.
AND IT'S NICE TO BE IN A POSITION WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY SPEND THIS MONEY AND NOT REALLY HAVE TO WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT.
WE'RE IN THAT POSITION AND WE GLADLY DO IT.
WITH THAT, DID YOU MO MOVE ON THIS? YES, PLEASE.
WE HAD A MOTION, UM, MORAN AND THEN JOE, WE HAD EITHER WAY, THAT'S FINE.
WE'RE ALL, WE KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING.

AND WITH THAT, DO WE HAVE ANY TYPE OF REPORT OR, WELL, AS YOU STATED, THIS IS OUR RECRUITMENT THAT HAPPENS EVERY TWO YEARS AS TERMS EXPIRES.

AND SO WE HAVE, UH, THREE MEMBERS EACH TO EACH OF THE COMMISSIONS, WHAT WE'LL NEED FROM YOU AND HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE TO HANDLE IT, WHETHER IT BE A SLATE OR MM-HMM.
AND THEN WE NEED THE FULL COUNCIL TO RATIFY IT BY VOTE.
SO WE CAN EITHER DO IT AS A, AS PER COMMISSION OR WE CAN DO IT AS A GROUPING.

AND TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A QUICK CLAIM DEED.
THIS ITEM WILL BE PRESENTED BY PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEERING MANAGER CARL HASSELL.
UM, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU.
UM, THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS A, UH, EXTRA 10 FEET OF WIDENING THAT WE HAD ON PEYTON FOR WHEN THE PEYTON WIDENING WAS DONE.
UH, THE ROAD PREVIOUSLY HAD KIND OF CURVED THROUGH THIS PROPERTY AND THERE WAS ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY NEEDED.
UM, SO WE'RE GIVING IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL PROPERTY OWNER.
WE ARE RESERVING AN EASEMENT FOR A FIRE HYDRANT AND A SEWER LINE THAT ARE IN THE NORTHEAST, UH, NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.
SO I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY ASK.
BASICALLY, THIS USED TO BE BE THEIR PROPERTY, CORRECT? CORRECT.
AND THEN WE TOOK IT AWAY FOR THE ROAD EASEMENT.
SO NOW WE'RE GONNA GIVE IT BACK TO 'EM.
SO IS THERE A REASON WHY ARE WE NEGOTIATING OR PRICED VALUE FOR IT SINCE IT USED TO BE THEIR PROPERTY? WELL, WE CAN'T, IT WOULD BE BASICALLY WHAT THEY CALL A GIFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS IF, SINCE WE HAD THE LAND AND WE WERE USING IT, BUT WE'VE DONE THAT BEFORE, VACATED PROPERTY WHERE WE'VE OWNED A STREET.
MATTER OF FACT, RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, IT WAS A, A STREET.
WE VACATED THAT AND GAVE IT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER WITHOUT ANY, UH, CHARGE TO THE INDIVIDUALS.
SO MY QUESTION WOULD BE IS WHY DID WE DO IT THERE OR NOT HERE? UH, AND IT USED TO BE THEIR PROPERTY AT ONE TIME.
AND WE WENT THIS DIRECTION GIVEN THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T, I DIDN'T HAVE THAT HISTORY OR ANY OTHER HISTORY, BUT IF COUNCIL SO CHOOSES, THAT WOULD BE, I MEAN, THAT'S UP TO IF I COULD RESPOND TO YEAH, PLEASE.
SO, UH, IF WE OWN THE EASEMENT, IF WE VACATE A STREET EASEMENT AND IT'S ONLY AN EASEMENT, THEN THE UNDERLYING PROPERTY GOES TO, UM, THE, THE, THE, UH, PROPERTY UNDERNEATH, USUALLY THE ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNER.
UM, IN THIS CASE, WE HAD ACTUALLY BOUGHT THE FEE FOR THIS PROPERTY.
UM, AND FOR THIS, FOR THIS PORTION OF THE PEYTON, WE HAD BOUGHT THE FEE.
SO THE STREET VACATION, WHEN WE VACATE, WHEN WE VACATE OUR, OUR STREET EAS, OUR STREET, THEN, UM, EAST OUR STREET, LIKE WE'RE VACATING THE NEED FOR OUR STREET, THEN THE UNDERLYING FEE REMAINS WITH THE CITY.
[00:40:01]
A GIFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS TO JUST GIVE THAT AWAY.JUST A CLARIFICATION, YOU SAID WE BOUGHT THE FEE.
MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS NO PURCHASE OF THAT PROPERTY, IT JUST WAS TAKEN FOR THE ROAD, UH, WRONGER.
THERE WAS A LONG PROTRACTED, MY UNDERSTANDING OF THAT IS THERE WAS A VERY LONG, WE, WE HAD ORIGINALLY HAD AN EASEMENT FOR IT.
THERE WAS SOME DISPUTE AND THEN WE ENTERED INTO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WHERE WE, UM, PURCHASED IT.
SO IT WAS MY, I'D HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE HISTORY, BUT THAT'S MY RECOLLECTION WAS THERE WAS CAN I GO TO JOANNE ON THIS? JOANNE, WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO THAT IS MY RECOLLECTION AS WELL.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I'M WAITING FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE SUBJECT.
WITH THAT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
AND LAST COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO TO A VOTE? YES SIR.
ON THE 10 FEET THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, IS THERE GONNA BE ANY EASEMENTS OR LIMITATIONS AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO BUILD ON IT? CUZ I WOULD IMAGINE THE SETBACKS ARE MORE THAN 10 FEET CORRECT? FROM THE STREET.
UM, I, YEAH, I THINK, UH, MS. LOMBARDO CAN ANSWER THAT, EXCEPT THERE ARE, THERE ARE TWO EASEMENTS.
SO THAT WILL IMPACT THE ABILITY TO BUILD, I SUPPOSE, BUT I DON'T KNOW, DON'T KNOW IF IT IMPACTS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
SO I THINK MS. LOMBARDO CAN ANSWER THAT.
LET, LET ME KIND OF STEP BACK A BIT.
SO ON, WHEN THIS PROJECT WAS IN THE PLANNING PHASE, ENGINEERING APPROACHED THE PROPERTY OWNER AND SAID, HEY, WE DON'T NEED THIS.
AND SO IT'S INCORPORATED INTO THEIR SITE PLAN AND IT'S INCORPORATED JUST AS RIGHT OF WAY, SO IT WON'T AFFECT THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND IT'S ALREADY, AGAIN, CONSIDERED IN THE SITE PLAN.
SO THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO CONTINUE WITH THEIR PROJECT, BUT IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, WHEN THERE'S ALREADY A SIDEWALK THERE AND ALSO A HYDRANT THERE.
SO IS THAT CORRECT OR NOT CORRECT? UM, CARL, CARL, ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
SO WE HAVE SIDEWALK THERE, BUT THAT IS WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT WE WANT TO KEEP FOR PEYTON.
SO WE HAVE EXCESS WIDTH ON THIS SIDE.
AND WHAT IS OVER WITHIN THE LAND WE'RE DISCUSSING IS JUST LANDSCAPING GRASS.
SO WERE THE SIDEWALKS LOCATED, ARE WE TALKING 10 FEET BEYOND THAT OR IS THAT WITHIN THE 10 FEET WHERE THE SIDEWALK IS BEYOND THAT? IT IS BEYOND THAT.
ANYBODY ELSE? WE MENTIONED A SALE.
IS THERE, I DON'T SEE IN THE STAFF REPORT A DOLLAR AMOUNT.
IS THERE A DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT'S, WE ARE HAVING AN APPRAISAL DONE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS THE FAIR MARKET VALUE.
UM, AND I THINK I, I SEE WHERE, UH, RAY'S GOING ON THIS.
GIFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS I UNDERSTAND IS ONE THING.
CAN, IS THERE ANYTHING TO PROHIBIT THE CITY FROM GIVING THAT AWAY FOR A DOLLAR, SELLING IT FOR A DOLLAR, SOMETHING MINIMAL TO HELP THE, UH, CHURCH OUT? I'M, I'M GONNA DO FURTHER QUESTION THAT'S ENTERTAIN BERNIE.
YOU KNOW, WE COULD TAKE THAT, IF THIS IS SOMETHING THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER, WE CAN LOOK AT THAT.
TYPICALLY WE ADVISE AGAINST GIVING AWAY PROPERTY, BUT IF THERE'S P POTENTIAL PUBLIC, WE CAN LOOK AT THAT.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE, UM, AND COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL AT ANOTHER TIME, WE'D STILL NEED THE STREET VACATION DONE TODAY.
BUT, UM, WE COULD REPORT BACK ON THAT.
WELL GIVEN THE, THE SORTED BACKGROUND ON THIS, AND, AND I DO REMEMBER IT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION WHERE WE WERE WONDERING WHY THERE WAS AN ISSUE OF THE OWNERS, THE, THE EQUESTRIAN USE NET THAT THEY WERE USING OUR PROPERTY THAT WE OWNED CUZ WE HAD HAD TO BUY IT.
UM, GIVEN ALL OF THAT, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE DO THE BUSINESS THAT WE HAVE TO DO TODAY AND THAT WE BRING IT BACK WITH A CONSIDERATION ON A MINIMAL OR NOMINAL, UH, PURCHASE PRICE AS OPPOSED TO GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING A FAIR MARKET APPRAISAL ON IT.
I JUST DON'T THINK THAT, UH, UM, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE PROPOSED USE OF THE PROPERTY THAT WE NEED TO BE SELLING THIS FOR MARKET VALUE.
THAT'S JUST MY OWN PERSONAL THINKING.
I WOULD RECOMMEND WE GO OUT FOR AN APPRAISAL AND FIND OUT WHAT THAT SUM IS BEFORE WE MAYBE POTENTIALLY COME BACK WITH JUST THE OPTIONS SO WE CAN YEAH, YEAH.
THAT I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH, BUT I THINK THAT WE SHOULD, BEFORE IT'S ACTUALLY SOLD, THAT WE NEED TO COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THE FINAL PURCHASE PRICE OR SALE PRICE SHOULD BE.
AND MY ONLY CONCERN ON THIS IS THAT BASICALLY IT CAN'T BE USED FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN PARKING.
SO THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY VALUE TO THE PROPERTY.
AND WITH ALL, EVERYTHING, THE HISTORY THAT WE'VE HAD WITHIN ONE PROPERTY, WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO MAKE IT RIGHT.
[00:45:01]
MM-HMM.THIS IS WHAT THE COUNTY, SO IF I MAY ADD, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF, UH, OBTAINING THAT APPRAISAL.
WE SHOULD HAVE HAD THE RESULTS BY LIKELY BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
SO WE AT POINT THIS NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, POSSIBLY WE VACATE THE ROAD.
THAT'S, I MEAN, THAT BE TWO SEPARATE THINGS.
MAYOR, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.
UH, BASED ON THE DIALOGUE AT THE DAIS TODAY, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS ITEM, WE HAVE TWO, UH, ACTIONS.
UH, UH, BOTH THREE ACTUALLY CONDUCT A PUB PUBLIC HEARING, BUT ALSO ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO EXECUTE THE BUSINESS WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING.
AND THEN LASTLY, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, UH, TO, UH, NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT.
I, I WOULD PROPOSE THAT THAT BE THE ITEM WE DON'T TAKE ACTION ON.
AND, AND THAT WAY WE CAN BRING BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, UH, ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE INFORMATION OF THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.
SO, UH, I'LL, I'LL LET THE CITY ATTORNEY, I THINK CHIME IN ON THE, UH, ACTUAL, UH, ADOPTION, UH, COMPONENT.
BUT I THINK IF WE BREAK OUT THAT, UH, THAT WOULD ADDRESS THE, THE COUNCIL'S CONCERNS AND GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO DISCUSS, UH, THE, UH, PER THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND WHAT THAT, UH, PROPERTY WOULD SELL FOR.
IF THE COUNCIL JUST ADOPTS THE RESOLUTION THAT ORDERS THE VACATION AND ALSO, UM, EXEMPTS UNDER C E Q A, THAT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR TONIGHT.
AND THEN WE CAN COME BACK NEXT TIME.
[ PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER REPORT]

[ SAFETY UPDATES - Fire and Police]
CHIEF WILLIAMS. SORRY,CAUSE MY COUNTERPART USUALLY GOES FIRST.
UH, FROM THE FIRE DISTRICT STANDPOINT, I JUST REALLY WANTED TO, UH, FIRST OF ALL, GOOD EVENING MAYOR OF ICE MARION COUNCIL.
I WANNA LET THE, UH, COUNCIL KNOW AND THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR AMBULANCE SERVICES COUNTYWIDE IS OUT ON THE STREET.
UH, UH, THE FIRE DISTRICT, ALONG WITH THE OTHER, UH, LOCAL, UH, FIRE AGENCIES ARE WORKING THROUGH OUR PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT FORTH A VERY COMPETITIVE BID, UH, ON OUR BEHALF.
AND WE, UH, HAVE ALWAYS STATED THAT WE FEEL THAT WE DO IT MUCH BETTER AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY.
SO, UH, I CONTINUE TO WORK CLOSE WITH, UH, CITY MANAGE MONTGOMERY ON, UH, MEETINGS THAT ARE COMING UP AND I STAY IN CLOSE CONTACT SO HE'S WELL INFORMED.
AND I THINK WITH THAT, UM, THAT ENDS MY DISCUSSION ON THAT.
AND I JUST WANTED TO REALLY EXTEND A, A THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WE'RE PARTICIPATING IN ON THE MANY EVENTS THAT WE HAD THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS.
UH, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT.
ASK A QUICK QUESTION, CHIEF, IS IT, UH, FOR THE A OR I SHOULDN'T SAY A R CAUSE IT'S NOT THEIR, IT'S AUTOMATICALLY FOR THE COUNTYWIDE AMBULANCE RFP.
IS IT, IS IT COUNTYWIDE OR ARE THEY BREAKING IT UP INTO AREAS? UH, UM, SO IT'S, IT'S WHAT'S UNDER CONSIDERATION IS WHAT THEY CALL, UH, EOS OR EXCLUSIVE OPERATING AREAS.
UH, THE, THE, UH, IT DOES COVER THE JURISDICTION THAT WE, UH, UH, PROVIDE SERVICE FOR.
UM, SO IT'S REALLY, IT'S A SECTION OF IT.
BUT IT WILL BE THE COUNTYWIDE SYSTEM.
UM, AND AGAIN, WE, WE DO CURRENTLY HAVE A, UH, PARTNER, UH, OF A PRIVATE NATURE THAT WE INTEND ON PARTNERING WITH, UH, TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES, UM, SHOULD WE WIN THE BID? WELL, BEST OF LUCK, OF COURSE, KEEP IN TOUCH WITH BEN, ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP.
[00:50:02]

ARE NOW MOVING ON TO COUNCIL REPORTS AND LOOKS LIKE I'LL KICK THINGS OFF WITH THREE REPORTS.ONE IS OUR CHINO DESAL AUTHORITY, AND WE MET, UH, LAST WEEK.
WE APPROVED THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 21, 22.
WE APPROVED A CONTRACT FOR, UH, IMPROVEMENTS ON ONE OF OUR WELLS WITH THE CDA.
UH, TWO DASH ONE IS THE NAME OF THE WELL.
AND THEN WE APPROVED SOME MONIES FOR AN EMERGENCY ITEM THAT HAD JUST COME UP ON THE REPAIR AT ONE OF OUR FACILITIES.
NEXT IS OUR CHINO HILLS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, WHICH WE MET YESTERDAY, ACTUALLY OUR BOARD BOARD OF, UH, 16 CURRENTLY.
AND WE APPROVED THE LOCATION OF, WE PURCHASED, WE'RE PURCHASING TWO AEDS FOR DONATION TO THE COMMUNITY.
AND ONE WE HAD TENTATIVELY UH, DECIDED TO GO TO THE LIBRARY.
OUR LIBRARY HERE, BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF INDIVIDUALS, ACTUALLY BASED ON CHIEF WILLIAMS RECOMMENDATION, WHEN HE AND I WERE CHATTING ABOUT THIS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.
AND SO THE LIBRARY HAS BEEN APPROVED AS A, AS A LOCATION.
AND ALSO IT'S GOING TO WHAT THE SECOND ONE WILL BE AT THE SHOPS.
AND WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE AT THE SHOPS THERE IS ONE AT THE SHOPS THAT'S AT LIMERICK, WHICH IS ONLY OPEN LIMITED TIME.
SO WE WERE DISCUSSING EITHER THE KIOSK, WHICH IS THE INFORMATION KIOSK OR WHERE SECURITY HAS THEIR OFFICE, BECAUSE SECURITY WILL KNOW WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO IF SOMEONE DOES HAVE AN INCIDENT, SECURITY CAN BRING THIS DEVICE.
SO WE'VE DECIDED, AT LEAST FOR NOW, TO PUT IT AT THE SECURITY OFFICE AT THE SHOPS, WHICH IS A HIGH VOLUME, HIGH TRAFFIC LOCATION.
SO THAT'S BEEN APPROVED AND WE WILL EXPLORE THIS POSSIBILITY YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.
NOW, ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS THOUGHT THIS WAS A GREAT, UH, A GREAT TOOL TO ADD TO, UH, CHINO HILLS AS FAR AS, UH, SAFETY AND THE SUCCESS RATE THAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM THAT.
RYAN STARTED TO GIVE US A REPORT BECAUSE HE WAS WORKING SO HE COULDN'T BE HERE.
AND WITHIN TWO MINUTES, THREE MINUTES MM-HMM.
SO HE DIDN'T FINISH HIS REPORT, WHICH IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE IT PROBABLY SAVED US A HALF AN HOUR.
UM, SO HE WAS DISPATCHED OUT AND, UH, WE STILL TALKED ABOUT IT AND APPROVED OUR TWO LOCATIONS.
WE ALSO DISCUSSED FOR 14 YEARS, THE FOUNDATION HAS MET ON THE SECOND TUESDAY, UH, SIX TIMES A YEAR.
WE HAD A REQUEST FROM ONE OF OUR, TWO OF OUR MEMBERS TO MOVE THE, THE DATE.
SO NOW WE'RE GONNA MEET ON THE THIRD MONDAY ON THOSE PARTICULAR MONTHS, WHICH IS JANUARY AND MARCH AND MAY, AND, AND ON AND ON.
AND THEN LASTLY, WE DISCUSSED, UH, ELEMENTS OF OUR VACATION OR VOLUNTEER DINNER THAT WE HOST EVERY YEAR TO THANK THE VOLUNTEERS THAT STEP UP FOR OUR FOUNDATION.
WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY, OH, A HUNDRED ISH.
WE'RE DOWN TO ABOUT A HUNDRED BECAUSE WE LET GO OF THE HOME TOUR AND WE HAD A, A GROUPING THERE.
UH, BUT WE HAVE ABOUT A HUNDRED THAT STEPPED
[00:55:01]
UP THIS YEAR ON VARIOUS EVENTS.SO WE HOSTED DINNER AND THAT WILL BE HOSTED IN A COUPLE WEEKS.
AND WE DISCUSSED ELEMENTS OF THAT AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU CAN THINK OF.
AND LASTLY FOR ME, TRACE ROMANOS, WE HAD A MEETING, UH, RECENTLY.
I WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETING.
RAY WAS THERE, BUT WHEN I LOOKED UP THE MINUTES, UH, IT WAS VERY QUICK AND ROUTINE.
SO I'M NOT SURE IF YOU ANYTHING COMES TO MIND.
I THINK WE ACTUALLY DID ROLL CALL AND THEN AFTER ROLL CALL THE MEETING WAS ADJOURNED.
AND WE DO HAVE ONE COMING UP, UH, TOMORROW, I BELIEVE HERE, RIGHT? IS IT HERE? YEAH.
WE NOW MOVED TO CHINO HILLS ON A ROTATING BASIS.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT I HAVE MOVING ON FOR COUNCIL REPORTS TO COUNCIL MEMBER ART BENNETT.
UH, YES, WE HEARD FROM JULIA ABOUT, UH, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE CHAMBER, SO NO REASON TO REPEAT THAT.
UH, CHINO VALLEY INDEPENDENT FIRE DISTRICT, YOU HAVE A MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT AND I BELIEVE YOU'RE GONNA BE ANNOUNCING SOME NEW, UH, HIRES, UH, TOMORROW EVENING.
SO WE'LL WAIT UNTIL NEXT MEETING TO, UH, GO OVER THAT.
AND, UH, CHINO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, UH, I BELIEVE I REPORTED AT THE LAST MEETING THAT WE OF COURSE HAD TWO NEW BOARD MEMBERS, UH, ELECTED, UH, PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.
SO, UH, THINGS ARE SHAKING AT THE, UH, SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WE'LL, UH, WE'LL SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT.
SO MY END OF MY REPORTS, WELL THAT WAS QUICK.
UH, FIRST OF ALL, I ATTENDED, UH, S B C T A AND UH, I'M ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND I PULLED UP ONE OF THE ITEMS, ITEM NUMBER 17, OUR CONSENTED CALENDAR.
AND IT IS TALKING ABOUT HIGHWAY 71 AND THE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG HIGHWAY 71.
SO I WANTED SOME DIALOGUE WITH THE, WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, UM, BECAUSE WE USE MEASURE I MONEY, UM, IT SEEMS LIKE ALL THE WORK GOES TO THE NORTH END, UH, THE AREAS OF THE COUNTY.
AND I REALLY WANT US TO REALLY LOOK AT THE 71 AND MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.
AND I KNOW THE AREA THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS ACTUALLY RIVERSIDE COUNTY, BUT I WANNA COME UP WITH A STRATEGY CUZ WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO PUT SOME PRESSURE ON RIVERSIDE COUNTY TO MOVE THAT FORWARD.
SO THAT WAS A DISCUSSION AND UH, HOPEFULLY THEY'LL COME BACK WITH SOME STRATEGIES IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
UM, THE THING, UH, 71 91 INTERCHANGE, THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE DOING, IS COSTING OVER 120 MILLION.
IT'S THE INTERCHANGE, INTERCHANGE PROJECT, GROUND BREAK BREAKING CEREMONY ON JANUARY THE 1923, UH, 2023 AT 11:00 AM WE'VE BEEN WANTING THIS NOW FOR ABOUT THE LAST 10 YEARS.
IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING AND WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY DO A GROUNDBREAKING, SO THAT WILL BE ON THE 19TH.
IF YOU GUYS CAN ATTEND, THAT'D BE GREAT.
FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING, CAN YOU JUST BRIEFLY DESCRIBE WHAT THAT PROJECT IS? WHEN YOU SAY INTERCHANGE? RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOU'RE ON THE 91, GOING TO THE 71, WHEN YOU COME HOME AT NIGHT, THERE'S A ROUNDABOUT SORT IF YOU GO AROUND IN A CIRCLE.
SO IT BACKS UP TRAFFIC, IT STACKS TRAFFIC.
SO WE ADDED ANOTHER LANE FROM THE 2 41 TO WHERE IT DOES A ROUNDABOUT.
AND NOW WE'RE GONNA DO A FLYOVER LANE AND IT'S GOING TO GO DIRECTLY UP AND THEN OVER TO THE 71.
SO HOPEFULLY COMING HOME IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER, BUT IT'S STILL GONNA STACK THEIR EUC BECAUSE PEOPLE GET OFF OF EUCLID AND THEY GO TO T EASTVALE.
SO, BUT IT'S ONE THING THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE AND IT'S GONNA GET DONE HOPEFULLY IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
UM, WE DID AN UPDATE AND IMPROVE TO FORMATION OF A HOUSING TRUST AD HOC COMMITTEE.
UM, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TO FORM A HOUSING TRUST.
UH, TRANSIT COMMITTEE, WE RELEASED INVITATION FOR BIDS FOR THE AOL MAINTENANCE FACILITY, HYDROGEN FUEL FOR UPGRADE.
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST, UM, LOCOMOTIVE THAT ACTUALLY IS HYDROGEN THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.
I'M REALLY HAPPY AND PROUD OF THAT.
AND WE'RE GONNA BE BUILDING A FACILITY TO FUEL IT.
UH, METRO VALLEY STUDY SESSION.
WE UP, WE HAD UPDATES ON HIGHWAY 71, WE DISCUSSED THE REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST, HAVE ALREADY GONE OVER THAT.
AND THEN, UH, SKA, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS, THE EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE.
REALLY NOTHING TO REPORT THERE.
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, WE DID FORMALLY THE 2023 LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM.
WE SENT A COPY TO THE MAYOR AND THE LEGISLATIVE, UH, COMMITTEE FOR OUR CITY, ALSO THE, THE MAYOR FOR CHINO AND ONTARIO.
AND HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS CAN REVIEW IT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
REGIONAL COUNCIL, WE APPROVED, UH, GUIDELINES AND AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE THE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY PROGRAM FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, EQUITY AND ENVIRONMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE.
WE REVIEWED CONNECT SOCAL 2020 AND AMENDED NUMBER 3 20 23 FIP RELEASED FOR PUBLIC REVIEW.
[ COUNCIL COMMENTS]
ON TO COUNSEL COMMENTS, BRIAN.JUST, UH, WE'LL MAKE IT QUICK.
JUST WANNA WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I DON'T KNOW IF ROD OR BEN CAN TOUCH ON IT.
I KNOW OUR NORMAL TRASH DAY IS FRIDAY FOR
[01:00:01]
PICKUP AND WE'VE GONE UP UNTIL TODAY WITHOUT CHRISTMAS TREES BEING PICKED UP, ESPECIALLY WITH THE STORM.HAVE WE HAD ANY REPORTS OF THIS IN OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS OR I GUESS WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HER, WITH OUR HOLLER? YES.
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL CALLS FROM THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY ON THE SAME ISSUE.
WE DO SPEAK WITH THE WASTE MANAGEMENT TODAY, AND THEY WERE LOOKING INTO IT.
THEY ASSURED US THEY DO HAVE VEHICLES OUT SPECIFICALLY PICKING UP CHRISTMAS TREES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
SO THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW COME WE HAVE SOME TREES THAT ARE MORE DELAYED THAN OTHERS.
I, I I HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAD A, UH, A BLESSED HOLIDAY SEASON AND THAT, UH, HAVE A GOOD, A LOT OF GREAT FAMILY TIME.
UH, CHILDREN ARE BACK AT SCHOOL NOW.
UH, COUPLE THAT WITH THE RAIN THAT WE HAVE HAD AND WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND, UH, JUST, YOU KNOW, REMEMBER THAT THAT OIL COMES UP TO THE SURFACE.
UH, THINGS ARE SLICKER THAN NORMAL, SO DRIVE ACCORDINGLY, UH, GET IT OUTTA YOUR HEAD THAT YOU CAN DRIVE LIKE A, A SPEEDWAY, UH, DOWN OUR CITY STREETS AND, UH, BE WATCHING FOR THE KIDS BECAUSE, UM, THEY'RE BACK IN SCHOOL.
SO, UH, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY, OTHER THAN I WISH EVERYONE A VERY, VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS AND HEALTHY, UH, 2023.
AND THIS CITY, UH, THE WAY WE'RE GOING AS IT HAS GONE FOR YEARS, WILL CONTINUE TO BRING GOOD SERVICE AT A REASONABLE COST TO ALL OF ITS RESIDENTS.
UH, FIRST OF ALL THE COMMUNITY PARKING LOT.
UH, THERE'S, WE'VE BEEN GETTING SOME EMAILS, ALL OF US ABOUT THIS AND I JUST, HOPEFULLY, I KNOW IT'S, IF YOU GO TO THE WEBPAGE, YOU GOTTA SEARCH FOR IT.
AND IT DOES TALK ABOUT THE CLOSING OF OUR PARKING LOT AT COMMUNITY PARK.
BUT IF WE CAN BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROACTIVE, AND I UNDERSTAND WE, WE'VE DONE THAT RECENTLY.
SO IF WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO THAT, TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THE GALLOPING HILL COMMUNITY, JUST, UH, JUST ADJACENT TO THE PARK, CUZ THAT'S WHERE ALL THE COMPLAINTS ARE COMING.
UM, THERE'S BEEN SOME BREAK-INS IN CARBON CANYON HOUSES BEING BROKEN INTO.
AND I KNOW UP IN CARRIAGE HILLS THEY'RE TRYING TO DO A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH AND HOPEFULLY YOU GET, YOU'VE GOTTEN THAT INFORMATION AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN SCHEDULE THAT FAIRLY SOON.
UM, UPDATES, UH, CALTRANS IMPROVEMENTS IN CARBON CANYON.
DANIEL, I TALKED TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AND I TALKED TO, UM, UH, THE ENVI, UM, GOVERNMENT RELATIONS INDIVIDUAL, ANDREA, AND SHE'S GONNA GET BACK WITH US WITH THE SCHEDULE AS FAR AS THINGS THAT ARE GONNA HAPPEN.
SO AS SOON AS SHE GETS IT, I'LL HAVE HER SEND IT TO YOU.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN INFORM ALL THE REST OF THE COUNCIL, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
AND THEN ALSO THE WEED ABATEMENT IN CARBON CANYON.
I KNOW THAT WE'RE GETTING READY TO START THIS.
CAN YOU SORT OF GIMME AN UPDATE ON THAT, DANIEL? WHEN IT'S GONNA BE THE CREEK BED, UH, STAFF IS STILL LOOKING, UM, OR WORKING WITH THE UM, UH, WITH THE GROUP THAT'S, UH, THAT HAS A PERMIT TO WORK IN, IN THE CARBON CANYON CREEK AREA.
UH, WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC DATE, BUT WE ARE LOOKING TO DO IT SOMETIME IN THE NEXT, UH, NEXT QUARTER.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO IT BEFORE SUMMER.
UM, I SAW A READ AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER AND I DID TALK TO THE CITY MANAGER ABOUT THIS, UM, LOGISTICS CENTER.
AS FAR AS THE REGION, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, WE'RE, WE'RE THE BIGGEST AND BASICALLY IN THE WORLD LOGISTICS, WE HAVE A LOT OF WAREHOUSING.
UM, THE NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER FIVE WAREHOUSING BUILDING OF WAREHOUSES IS ACTUALLY NUMBER ONE IS ONTARIO.
AND NUMBER TWO, ACTUALLY NUMBER FIVE IS CHINO.
SO WE KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING, IT'S GONNA BE MILLIONS OF SQUARE FEET, WE KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF TRUCK TRAFFIC AND WE NEED TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT'S GONNA IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY.
SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS MAYBE ON AN AGENDA ITEM, THEN WE SORT OF GET AN UPDATE AS FAR AS WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
AND THEN WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? UM, CUZ I KNOW PINE AVENUE'S AN AN EXAMPLE.
I KNOW WE DID A ROAD RESTRICTION ON CARBON CANYON.
CAN WE DO THAT ON OUR ROADS? SO AGAIN, IF WE CAN AGENDIZE IT FOR DISCUSSION, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
AND THEN THE LAST THING, UH, I WENT TO AN EVENT, GRAND OPENING IN OUR MAYOR WAS LIKE A ROCKSTAR THERE.
AND IT'S CALLED, UH, BUFFON DUMPLING, I BELIEVE IS THE NAME OF IT.
AND THEY ACTUALLY, AND I WAS REAL SURPRISED, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE 1200 STORES IN TAIWAN AND WE ARE THE SECOND STORE IN CALIFORNIA.
FIRST ONE IS IN CITY OF INDUSTRY.
AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU, OKAY, DON'T TELL MY WIFE THIS.
SO I'VE BEEN ON KETO, BEEN REALLY GOOD
HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME IN MAYOR.
AND JUST FOR BARBARA'S SAKE, WHEN THEY GAVE US A FEW SAMPLES, WHEN WHATEVER LEFTOVER WE HAD, I OFFERED 'EM THE RAY TO BRING HOME AND HE SAID NO.
SO BARBARA SHOULD KNOW IT WAS HARD THAT HE HAD A FEW SAMPLES AND THEN HE LET 'EM GO.
JUST, UM, COINCIDENTALLY THEY'RE ALL RELATED TO TRAFFIC.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED.
UM, THE CROSSWALK OUT HERE AT, UM, THE
[01:05:01]
PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK AT ST.PAUL AND OUR GOVERNMENT CENTER, I KNOW THAT WE HAVE, UM, THE LIGHTS OVER THE STREET THING.
CAN THE TRAFFIC COMMITTEE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL OPTIONS TO ENHANCE THAT? I'VE GOTTEN SOME FEEDBACK FROM SOME RESIDENTS THAT USE THAT FROM THE CHURCH THAT AT NIGHT, UM, THEY FEEL THAT THEY COULD BE ENHANCED.
AND I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW, BUT IF WE CAN LOOK OKAY, JUST AT LEAST LOOK AT IT SO THEY KNOW THAT WE COULD, UM, GIVE THEM SOME OPTIONS OR WHAT THE TRAFFIC COMMITTEE FEELS ABOUT THAT.
AND THEN, UM, WOODVIEW ROAD, UM, I GOT SOME FEEDBACK FROM RESIDENTS THAT ABOUT THE SPEEDING INCREASING.
I THINK IT'S BECAUSE IT'S THAT NEW SLICK ROAD
SO, UM, I KNOW THAT ON, UM, BUTTERFIELD RANCH ROAD, UM, AT PARK CREST, WE HAVE THE SIGN THAT SHOWS HOW FAST YOU'RE GOING.
AND I KNOW THAT'S PERMANENT, BUT MAYBE IN THE MEANTIME, IF WE HAVE THE SETUP WHERE IT SHOWS SOMEONE HOW FAST THEY'RE GOING, I, I DON'T KNOW, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF BRINGING AWARENESS THAT THEY'RE SPEEDING.
UM, I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT TOO ON WOODY ROAD, UM, FOR TRAFFIC COMMITTEE AND THEN, UM, ALSO FOR TRAFFIC COMMITTEE.
UM, SO AT RAMONA AND THE 71 FREEWAY, UM, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WHAT, THERE'S ALWAYS AN ALERT THAT THERE'S AN ACCIDENT THERE, THAT INTERSECTION.
SO I WANT THANK, UM, CHIEF GAAL FOR, UM, GETTING TOGETHER, UM, SOME STATISTICS FOR ME FOR 2022 BECAUSE I'VE HAD RESIDENTS REACH OUT.
SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS, WELL, HOW, HOW MANY ARE THERE? YOU KNOW? SO IN 2022 THERE WAS 15 NON-INJURY TRAFFIC COLLISIONS IN THAT INTERSECTION THERE WAS SIX MINOR INJURY TRAFFIC COLLISIONS.
AND THEN THERE WAS, UH, TRAFFIC RELATED CALLS FOR SERVICE.
AND THEN, UM, ASSISTING CHINO PD ON SOME OTHER THINGS.
IT'S, IT'S A VERY BUSY AREA RIGHT THERE.
SO I REALIZED THAT THOSE SIGNALS ARE MONITORED AND OWNED BY CALTRANS.
SO AS FAR AS LIKE TIMING OR PLACEMENT, HOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OUR TRAFFIC COMMITTEE CAN DO, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME, UM, DISCUSSION WITH CALTRANS OR JUST SOME REVIEW OF IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT CAN ENHANCE THE SAFETY AT THAT INTERSECTION, JUST BASED ON THESE STATS AND RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE LOS RENOS AREA THAT HAVE REACHED OUT.
MY TAKEAWAY FROM THAT REPORT IS THAT YOU'RE ENCOURAGING US TO NOT FILL IN THE POTHOLES TO SLOW DOWN THE RESIDENTS.
HOW DO YOU THINK THEY COULD GET THERE? YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.
FIRST OF ALL, DANIEL, THANK, THANK YOUR TEAM FOR OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM, FOR ALL THE EFFORTS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON OVER THE LAST MM-HMM.
BUT I KNOW THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
I'VE SENT ONE OR TWO THINGS TO YOU AND VERY RESPONSIVE AS FAR AS, UH, SOME SOMETHING THAT WE MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT.
AND THEN WE'VE GONE IN AND CLEANED UP AND A LOT OF TREES DOWN.
A LOT OF EFFORT IS GOING ON BY OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM, SO THANK THEM ON BEHALF OF OUR CITY COUNCIL WILL DO FOR ALL THEIR EFFORTS.
THEY'RE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND RIGHT NOW.
UM, EUCALYPTUS AND PEYTON HAD BROUGHT UP A COUPLE TIMES FROM THE DIAS ABOUT, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE MORE ACCIDENTS THAN NORMAL FROM THAT SITE.
I KNOW A TRAFFIC STUDY WAS, WAS DONE.
MARYANNE ACTUALLY DID A LONG ARTICLE ON, ON THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF, UM, AROUND TOWN, WHAT LOCATIONS HAD HIGHER INCIDENTS THAN OTHERS.
MAYBE YOU'RE REFERRING TO SOME OF THESE, CYNTHIA, BUT AT PEYTON AND EUCALYPTUS, SOME, A CHANGE WAS MADE DURING THE CHRISTMAS BREAK AND, UH, THE LIGHTING WAS UPGRADED TO HOPEFULLY, UH, ENHANCE THE SAFETY OF THAT.
COULD YOU REVIEW A LITTLE BIT WHAT TOOK PLACE? SURE.
UH, SO OVER THE BREAK, UM, IN RESPONSE TO A, A LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER, UM, WE DIDN'T IDENTIFY THE INTERSECTION OF PAINT AND EUCALYPTUS AS A CANDIDATE FOR MODIFICATIONS TO ENHANCE, UH, SAFETY.
UM, THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL PRIOR TO THE MODIFICATIONS OPERATED IN WHAT WAS CALLED A DOG HOUSE.
UM, SO IN THE NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND DIRECTION, UH, TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, YOU HAVE A PROTECTED, UH, PERMISSIVE, UH, SIGNAL PHASE.
WE ELIMINATED THE PROTECTIVE PERMISSIVE AND INSTALLED A LEFT TURN ONLY PHASE.
UM, TYPICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A DOGHOUSE PHASE, IT ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE THAT PROTECTION, BUT THEN IT GOES TO A GREEN BALL THAT STILL ALLOWS YOU TO YIELD AND MAKE A LEFT TURN UNDER THE NEW PHASING, YOU WILL HAVE A PROTECTED LEFT TURN, BUT THAT'LL BE YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN.
UH, THE REASON FOR THOSE CHANGES WAS, UH, TWOFOLD.
ONE, YOU, YOU HAD THE HIGH, UM, NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS, WHICH WAS LIKELY CAUSING CONFUSION WITH MOTORISTS.
UM, AND THEN TWO, UH, WE FELT THAT IT WOULD BE A LOT MORE CONSISTENT TO HAVE A CORRIDOR OF PEYTON AVENUE.
[01:10:01]
YOU HAVE THE LEFT, THE, THE PROTECTED LEFT TERMS. UM, PEYTON EUCALYPTUS WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT UNIQUE.UH, SO LIKELY THAT WAS, UH, THE, THE CONFUSION.
UM, I WILL SAY THAT THE PREVIOUS PHASING WAS NOT UNSAFE.
UM, SO WE'RE HOPING THAT THE, THE NEW MODIFICATIONS WILL, WILL, UH, WILL BE, UH, RECEIVED WELL.
UM, WE'RE STILL MONITORING IT TO SEE WHAT IT DOES IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC, UM, VOLUMES, UH, ANY, ANY BACKUPS.
BUT WE WILL MONITOR IT AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TIMING AS, UH, AS NEEDED TO HAVE IT RUN AS OPTIMAL AS POSSIBLE.
IT MAY BE ADDING A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO THOSE COMING INTO IOLA HIGH SCHOOL FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
YES, IT'S WORTH IT TO ENHANCE OUR SAFETY AT THAT INTERSECTION.
UH, WELL CONTINUE, WELL KEEP IT.
THERE'S A PROJECT BEING INITIATED, UH, IN CARBON CANYON RIGHT AT THE FRONT END OF CARBON CANYON WITH CALTRANS.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT'S ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE THERE? YES.
AS, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER MARQUEZ, UH, MENTIONED EARLIER, UH, THE CITY IS PARTNERING WITH CALTRANS TO INSTALL, UH, EXCUSE ME, TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO CARBON CANYON ROAD, UM, AT CHINO HILLS PARKWAY, RIGHT.
UM, WITHIN THAT STRETCH IS A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY.
IT'S A ONE WAY IN EACH DIRECTION.
UM, BATINO HILLS PARKWAY, UH, CARBON CANYON ROAD, THERE IS A, UH, WHAT'S CALLED A MERGING LANE.
UH, SO AS YOU'RE TRAVELING IN EITHER DIRECTION FROM CHINO HILLS PARKWAY AND YOU TURN INTO CHINO, UH, INTO CARBON CANYON ROAD, YOU HAVE A EMERGING LANE THAT'S APPROXIMATELY A 10TH OF A MILE LONG, UM, DURING HIGH, UH, TRAFFIC, UM, UH, VOLUMES.
IT, IT DOES QUEUE UP, IT BACKS UP AND, AND CAUSES SOME, SOME GRIDLOCK.
THE POINT IS TO RELIEF RELIEVE SOME OF THAT TRAFFIC BY EXTENDING THE MERGE LANE.
UH, THE GOAL IS TO EXTEND IT AT LEAST, UH, TWICE AS LONG.
UH, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG IT'LL BE.
UH, CALTRANS IS IN THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING IT.
UM, WE STILL DON'T HAVE A, UH, A TIMEFRAME FOR CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE DESIGN CHALLENGES.
UH, WE WILL BE COMING TO A COUNCIL MEETING IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO, UH, TO APPROVE A CO-OP AGREEMENT WHERE WE WILL BE, UM, ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH CALTRANS, UH, TO, UH, GIVE UP SOME OF OUR LAND FOR THESE IMPROVEMENTS.
UH, AGAIN, WE STILL DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH, BUT, UH, WE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF, UH, WEEKS.
I SAW SOME INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE FAIRLY RECENTLY LOOKING THINGS OVER FROM CALTRAN, SO IT MAY HAVE BEEN CALTRANS, UH, ENGINEERING TEAM.
UH, LASTLY, JONATHAN JUST WANTED AN UPDATE IF POSSIBLE.
UH, THE FOUNDATION AND THE HAGMAN OFFICER BOTH MADE DONATIONS TO A COUPLE OF RECREATION, UH, ENTITIES, THE MOBILE REC VAN AND THE SHOW WAGON.
WHAT, WHAT'S THE TIMING? WHAT, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT AS FAR AS WHEN THOSE, BOTH OF THOSE WILL BE, UH, COMPLETED AND DISPATCHED THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY? WELL, I'D LOVE TO SAY THAT WE'LL BE, UH, UP AND RUNNING WITH OUR NEW SHOW WAGON WHEN NEXT CONCERTS IN THE PARK OCCURS, WHICH OF COURSE IS THIS UPCOMING JUNE.
HOWEVER, WHEN WE PLACE THE ORDER, WHICH WAS BACK IN AUGUST OF 2022, THEY TOLD US IT WOULD BE ABOUT A 12 MONTH, UH, LEAD TIME.
SO WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GONNA HAVE IT FOR THIS UPCOMING, UH, CONCERTS IN THE PARK SERIES, UNFORTUNATELY.
OF COURSE, AS WE KNOW ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH, UH, MOVING GOODS AND SERVICES AND EVERYTHING ELSE, UH, UH, JUST WE HAVE A SMALL UPGRADE TO THE, UH, NEW SHOW WAGON THAT WE'RE GONNA GET.
SO JUST TO GET THOSE PARTS AND SUCH AND GET THEM INSTALLED IS, UH, GONNA TAKE SOME TIME.
UM, BUT, UM, OUR THOUGHTS ARE IS, IS THAT WHEN WE DO GET THE SHOW WAGON, IS IS THAT DEPENDING ON, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT RIGHT NOW, WHEN IT'S POURING RAIN, OF COURSE, OUTSIDE IS MAYBE WE COULD DO A CELEBRATORY, UH, TYPE EVENT, UH, CONCERT THAT WOULD, UH, THEN OF COURSE GIVE GREAT THANKS TO BOTH THE FOUNDATION AND, UH, UM, UH, MR. HAGMAN'S OFFICE AS WELL, UH, FOR THEIR DONATION.
SO THAT'S WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR THAT AS IT RELATES TO THE, UH, MOBILE REC VAN.
UM, IN GENERAL, AS DANIEL VERY WELL KNOWS, UM, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO PROCURE VEHICLES THESE DAYS.
HOWEVER, WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK, UH, IT APPEARS AS IT RELATES TO THE, UH, MOBILE REC VAN.
AND SO, UM, WE'RE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
AFTER THAT, THEN WE WILL NEED TO GO INTO A DESIGN PHASE OF THE NEW, UH, VEHICLE TO OUTFIT IT APPROPRIATELY TO MEET ALL OF OUR NEEDS, UH, WHEN WE GO OUT TO THE VARIOUS, UH, LOCATIONS THAT WE DO ON A DAILY BASIS AND SUCH.
SO I'VE ALWAYS HAD A DESIRE TO, UM, MAKE IT MORE THAN JUST A STORAGE, UH, TYPE UNIT, UM, IS TO HAVE SOME ABILITIES TO, UH, FOR KIDS TO DO SOME COMPUTER STUFF INSIDE AND AS WELL.
SO, UM, THE HOPE WAS ALWAYS THAT WE COULD GET IT, UH, UP AND RUNNING AND READY BY THE SCHOOL YEAR OF 2023.
UM, THE GOOD, THAT'S THE NEW VAN, OF COURSE, WE'LL
[01:15:01]
ALWAYS KEEP THE EXISTING ONE THAT WE HAVE AS WELL.SO, UH, REGARDLESS THE PROGRAM WILL NOT HAVE ANY, UM, UH, GAPS IN IT, UM, BECAUSE WE'RE WAITING ON SOMETHING TO, UH, TO COME TO US.
SO WE'LL STILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH, UH, MOBILE REC, WHICH CONTINUES TO BE AN EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY POPULAR PROGRAM.
BEFORE WE ADJOURN, ANY ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO ADJOURNMENT? OKAY.
