APPROPRIATE.

$930,300 FROM THE GENERAL FUND AND AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AMENDMENT 41 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

I JUST WANT TO SAY JUST SOMETHING REALLY FAST.

OUR SHERIFF DEPARTMENT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BETTER DEPARTMENTS IN CALIFORNIA.

I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND, UH, $19 MILLION OR 19 MILLION A YEAR IS A STEAL.

SO AT THAT TIME I'D LIKE TO, TO MOVE THAT, UH, SECOND ITEM.

ALRIGHT, MOVING ON TO DISCUSSION

[11. Provide input and comments to City Manager regarding proposed adjustment to residential waste collection routes]

CALENDAR.

THIS ITEM IS TO PROVIDE INPUT AND COMMENTS TO THE CITY MANAGER REGARDING PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RESIDENTIAL WASTE COLLECTION ROUTES.

AND THIS IS GONNA BE PRESENTED BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT ANALYST SHAKER.

GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE RESIDENTIAL WASTE COLLECTION ROUTE ADJUSTMENT PROPOSED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT THIS EVENING.

OH, SORRY.

SO WASTE MANAGEMENT, AS YOU KNOW, STARTED TRASH SERVICES IN THE CITY ON JULY 1ST, 2022.

SO AT THAT TIME, THEY ASSUMED THE EXISTING COLLECTION ROUTES FROM THE PREVIOUS SOLID WASTE HAULER REPUBLIC SERVICES.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST THREE YEARS, WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS IDENTIFIED INEFFICIENCIES WITH THE EXISTING ROUTES AND HAS PROPOSED AN ADJUSTMENT TO RESIDENTIAL ROUTES TO BALANCE THE ROUTES AND PROVIDE MORE EFFICIENT COLLECTION CITYWIDE.

CURRENTLY THE ROUTES ARE NOT GEOGRAPHICALLY CLUSTERED, WHICH RESULTS IN REDUNDANT VISITS TO IN THE SAME COMMUNITIES AND LONGER SERVICE HOURS.

ADDITIONALLY, THE ROUTES ON MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS ARE THE HEAVIEST SERVICE DAYS, WHICH CAN CAUSE DELAYED PICKUPS.

THOSE ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES.

SO SOME OF THE BENEFITS TO THE ROUTE ADJUSTMENT TO OUR CUSTOMERS OVERALL INCLUDE IMPROVED CUSTOMER SERVICE BY PROVIDING MORE PREDICTABLE SERVICE TIMES AND INCREASED RELIABILITY.

THIS IS DONE BY OPTIMIZING ROUTES AND BALANCING PICKUPS ACROSS THE WEEK.

CUSTOMERS SHOULD SEE TRUCKS ARRIVE WITHIN CONSISTENT TIME WINDOWS AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MISSED OR DELAYED COLLECTIONS.

ANOTHER BENEFIT WILL BE REDUCING DUPLICATE TRUCK VISITS TO THE SAME AREAS, WHICH WILL CUT DOWN ON THE WEAR AND TEAR ON OUR STREETS FUEL USE TRAVEL TIMES AND MAKE OPERATIONS CLEANER AND MORE EFFICIENT.

SUSAN, QUICK QUESTION.

SO REDUCING DUPLICATE TRUCK VISITS, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO, UM, THE WAY IT'S STRUCTURED RIGHT NOW FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE'S, UH, LET'S SAY ONE COMMUNITY LIKE LOS SERRANOS IS SERVICED ON TWO, UM, DAYS A WEEK AND TWO TO THREE DAYS A WEEK TO CERTAIN AREAS LIKE LAKE LOS SERRANOS MOBILE HOME PARK, WHICH I'LL HIGHLIGHT AS ONE OF THE CHANGES.

SO WE'RE MOVING THAT SO THAT, UM, THE TRUCKS DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SAME AREA OF THE, OF THE CITY MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE SAME WEEK.

AND IT CAN BE DONE ON A TIGHTER SERVICE TIME WITHIN A DAY OR TWO.

WELL YOU HAVE A MAP OF IT.

WELL, I DO HAVE MAPS OF WHAT IS GONNA LOOK LIKE WITH THE CHANGE.

KEY NEIGHBORHOOD CHANGES, BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL CHANGES.

SO WASTE MANAGEMENT IS HERE.

THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO MORE DETAIL AS FAR AS WHAT'S CHANGING, WHAT, HOW IT IS NOW AND WHAT IT'S CHANGING TO.

NO, 'CAUSE I'M, I'M JUST WONDERING AND JUST LIKE IF WE HAVE THREE BARRELS AND YOU'RE GONNA NEED A TRUCK TO MAKE THREE DIFFERENT TRIPS, SO NECESSARILY HOW DOES THIS REPLACE NECESSARILY TO THE SAME STREET BUT TO THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, I GUESS, OR TO THE SAME AREA OF THE CITY, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO LIKE THE SOUTHERN PART PART IT DOESN'T, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

WELL, MAYBE WE CAN CIRCLE BACK.

WE'LL LOOK AT THE MATCH GOING FORWARD.

SO, UM, AS MENTIONED, MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS, UM, ARE CURRENTLY THE HIGHEST VOLUME DAYS AND MONDAYS TYPICALLY HAVE THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF DRIVER CALL OUTS, WHICH, WHICH CAN RESULT IN LONGER SERVICE HOURS AND REBALANCING THE ROUTES WILL EASE PRESSURE ON MONDAYS.

AND ADJUSTMENTS TO FRIDAYS ARE BEING MADE TO ACCOMMODATE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CITY.

SO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CURRENT RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS IS ABOUT 20,000 122 AND ABOUT 24% OR 4,879 CUSTOMERS WILL HAVE A NEW SERVICE DAY.

THE SERVICE DAY CHANGES WILL BE EFFECTIVE THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER, ON DECEMBER 1ST.

AND WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING PICKUPS FOR THREE WEEKS FOLLOWING THE SERVICE DAY CHANGE FOR CUSTOMERS WHO FORGET TO SET OUT THEIR CARTS OUT DURING THE FIRST FEW WEEKS FOLLOWING THE CHANGE.

SO I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW

[00:15:01]

CARBON CANYON IS MOVING FROM WEDNESDAY TO MONDAY EXCEPT FOR SLEEPY HOLLOW AREA, WHICH WILL STAY ON WEDNESDAYS.

LAKE LOS SERRANOS MOBILE HOME PARK IS MOVING FROM TUESDAY TO WEDNESDAY.

FAIRFIELD RANCH IS MOVING FROM FRIDAY TO THURSDAY.

AND AS YOU MAY KNOW, OR YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THIS DID IMPACT THEIR CURRENT, CURRENT STREET SWEEPING DAY, WHICH WAS ON THURSDAY.

AND WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS WORKED WITH A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND CONFIRMED THAT FAIRFIELD RANCH WILL SHIFT ITS STREET SWEEPING DAY FROM THURSDAY TO FRIDAY TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW TRASH DAY.

ADDITIONALLY, WASTE MANAGEMENT WILL COVER THE COST OF THE NEW STREET SWEEPING SIGNAGE IN THAT COMMUNITY.

SO NOW WE'RE GONNA GET INTO THE MAPS.

SO THE MONDAY, THIS IS A MAP OF THE, UH, NEW MONDAY SERVICE AREA.

SO CURRENTLY MONDAY HAS 4,421 STOPS.

AS I SAID, IT'S ONE OF THE HEAVIER DAYS AND THIS WILL BE REDUCED TO 3,505 STOPS.

WHAT, SO THE BOUND, WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THAT MANY? THERE ARE 900 AND SOME ODD STOPS THAT ARE BEING REDUCED.

SO A LOT OF THE SHIFT IS GOING FROM MONDAY IS GONNA BE, SORRY, I DON'T RECALL OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD OF THE BIG NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S MOVING, SO I CAN'T ANSWER THAT RIGHT NOW.

THIS YOU'RE JUST GONNA BALANCE IT OUT DURING THE WEEK, RIGHT? SO IT'S NOT BE ON MONDAY.

SO FRIDAY CURRENTLY HAS FIVE THOUSAND FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO STOPS, AND THIS WILL DECREASE TO 3,717.

AND FINE.

IT'S GONNA BE EVEN ACROSS ACROSS THE BOARD.

YES, THAT IS.

AND IF WE HAVE WASTE MANAGEMENT HERE CAN GIVE US HERE SPECIFICS HERE, WHICH SHOULD THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO IF YOU WANTED TO ASK NOW, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, UH, UH, AS YOU MAY KNOW, UH, SUSAN IS THE STAFF REPRESENTATIVE FOR INTERACTING WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT.

I ASKED HER TO GIVE THE OVERALL PICTURE OF WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT WE DO HAVE WASTE MANAGEMENT HERE.

AND I'D, I'D LIKE TO, UH, DELVE INTO THOSE, UH, SPECIFICS.

UH, MAYBE BY GOING BACK TO KEY SLIDES AND WALKING THROUGH IT, THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS, UH, AND THAT'S THE REASON WE BROUGHT IT BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

WE'VE LOOKED AT IT.

BUT, UH, WE ALWAYS WANT TO HEAR YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

YOU MAY, UH, HAVING, UH, INTERACTED WITH RESIDENTS YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH, UH, CONCERNS OR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE ROUTES ABOUT THE SERVICE THAT WE DON'T ALWAYS HEAR DIRECTLY AS STAFF .

SORRY, SUSAN.

NO WORRIES.

NOT AT ALL.

SO THIS IS, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS GOOD, WHAT THE MONDAYS ARE GONNA LOOK LIKE.

AND SOME OF THE BOUNDARIES IN THE NORTH, UM, ARE THE RANCHO HILLS DRIVE.

SO THIS IS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES IS RANCHO HILLS DRIVE ON THE NORTH SOUTH OF CARBON CANYON AT RAINBOW RIDGE AND PINNACLE DRIVE ON THE SOUTH PEYTON DRIVE ON THE EAST AND NORTH OF CA, CARBON CANYON AT QUES DRIVE ON THE WEST.

SO FOR TUESDAYS, CURRENTLY TUESDAY HAS, UM, 3,436 STOPS, AND THIS WILL BE INCREASED ACTUALLY TO 4,297.

SO IT'S ABSORBING SOME OF THOSE CHANGES.

THE BOUNDARIES ARE SOUTH OF THE 60 FREEWAY AT SCENIC RIDGE DRIVE ON THE NORTH SOUTH OF GRAND AVENUE, UM, ON THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE 71 NORTH, UH, FREEWAY AT GRAND AVENUE AND WEST OF CHINO HILLS PARKWAY AT PLEASANT HILL DRIVE ON THE WEST.

SO ON WEDNESDAYS CURRENTLY, UH, HAS 3,471 STOPS, AND THIS WILL BE INCREASED TO 4,264.

AND THE BOUNDARIES ARE EUCALYPTUS AVENUE BETWEEN PIPELINE AND PEYTON ON THE NORTH MILANO TERRACE, UH, WHICH IS IN THE SOUTHERN SECTION OF ANO ON THE SOUTH PIPELINE AVENUE BETWEEN EUCALYPTUS AND WOODVIEW ON THE EAST.

AND CATINA DRIVE, WHICH IS THE WESTERN SECTION OF ANO ON THE WEST.

SO, FOR THURSDAY, UH, CURRENTLY HAS 4,252 STOPS, AND THIS WILL DECREASE SLIGHTLY VERY MINIMALLY TO 4,239.

AND THE BOUNDARIES ARE CHINO HILLS PARKWAY ON THE EAST OF THE 71 FREEWAY VILLAGE DRIVE, UM, NORTH AND WEST SIDE OF THE 71 FREEWAY, STONE MOUNTAIN DRIVE SOUTH OF SOCO CANYON ON THE SOUTH DANBURY ROAD, EAST OF THE 71 ON THE EAST.

AND PIPELINE AVENUE NORTH OF SOCO CANYON AND GOLDEN TERRACE LANE ON THE WEST FRIDAY IS ANOTHER DAY THAT'S GONNA BE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY.

THE BOUNDARIES ARE SOUTH OF SOCO CANYON PARKWAY ON THE NORTH STONE MOUNTAIN DRIVE SOUTH OF SOCO CANYON PARKWAY ON THE SOUTH DANBURY ROAD, EAST OF 71 ON THE EAST.

AND PIPELINE AVENUE NORTH OF SOKO CANYON AND GOLDEN TERRACE LANE ON THE SOUTH OF SOCO CANYON.

SO AFFECTED CUSTOMERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AT LEAST 30 DAYS IN ADVANCE

[00:20:01]

THROUGH MULTIPLE CHANNELS, UM, INCLUDING DIRECT OUTREACH, MAILERS, LETTERS, NEW, UH, POSTCARDS.

UH, CUSTOMERS WHO'VE SELECTED EMAIL ALERTS WILL ALSO RECEIVE EMAILS.

THEY'LL GET SERVICE ALERTS.

CUSTOMERS WILL ALSO RECEIVE OUTBOUND PHONE CALLS NOTIFYING THEM OF THE CHANGE.

AND THEY WILL WASTE MANAGEMENT IS GONNA ALSO BE PROVIDING A CUSTOMER LOOKUP TOOL THAT THE CITY WILL SHARE ON OUR OWN WEBSITE WHERE, UH, RESIDENTS CAN GO AND INPUT THEIR ADDRESS TO SEE IF THEY'RE IMPACTED BY THIS CHANGE.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT, UM, IS TO LET TO, FOR COUNSEL TO PROVIDE INPUT AND COMMENTS TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR CONSIDERATION.

THIS CHANGE TO ROUTE COLLECTION SCHEDULED IS ALLOWED UNDER SECTION 4.7 POINT 12 OF THE SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT, WHICH DOES ALLOW FOR REVISION OF COLLECTION SCHEDULES AND ROUTE MAPS WITH APPROPRIATE NOTIFICATION AND APPROVAL BY THE CITY WHILE CITY APPROVAL IS REQUIRED.

THE AGREEMENT ALSO NOTES THAT SUCH APPROVAL SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD, AND THAT'S WHY AT THIS POINT WE'RE ASKING YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND INPUT INTO THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

SO THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, BUT AS I MENTIONED, WASTE MANAGEMENT IS HERE TO ANSWER MORE DETAILED QUESTIONS OF THE OPERATIONAL CHANGES THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

UM, IF YOU WOULD LIKE, WHATEVER QUESTION, QUESTIONS.

CAN I MAKE A A COMMENT FIRST? I, I'D LIKE TO KINDA SUMMARIZE THIS AND WHY WE'RE DOING THIS RIGHT NOW.

UH, FOR WHEN WASTE MANAGEMENT TOOK OVER, UH, FROM REPUBLIC, REPUBLIC ONLY HAD TWO BINS, THEN THE STATE, ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT WASTE MANAGEMENT TOOK OVER.

THE STATE MANDATED THAT WE HAVE THREE TRASH BINS THAT WE NOW HAVE THE GREEN WASTE, WE HAVE RECYCLE AND WE HAVE REGULAR GARBAGE.

WHEN WASTE MANAGEMENT TOOK OVER, THEY JUST FOR, TO MAKE IT EASIER ON EVERYBODY DURING THE TRANSITION, THEY WENT AHEAD AND JUST KEPT THE SAME ROUTES AS, UH, REPUBLIC.

WELL, WHAT'S HAPPENED IS WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEOPLE SAYING, OKAY, WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH GREEN WASTE ISN'T GETTING PICKED UP UNTIL, YOU KNOW, MAYBE FIVE, SIX O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING OR MAYBE THE NEXT DAY.

AND WITH ALL OF THIS, THESE ISSUES THAT WERE COMING UP, IT WAS DETERMINED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT THAT THEY NEEDED TO KIND OF TAKE A STEP BACK, TAKE ANOTHER LOOK TO HELP FACILITATE MORE EFFECTIVE, UH, UH, PICKUP OF THE TRASH, UH, TO TRY AND MINIMIZE THAT THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH THE LOGISTICS.

NOT ONLY DID THEY HAVE THE TRASH TO CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH, BUT WE HAVE STREET SWEEPING AND STREET SWEEPING HAS ITS DEFINED DAYS.

SO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS PUT FORTH A LOT OF EFFORT TO TRY AND MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF ROUTE CHANGES.

I THINK IT'S ONLY LIMITED TO TWO COUNCIL DISTRICTS AND WE CAN GET THEM TO CONFIRM THAT FOR US, BUT TO CHANGE THE DISTRICT OR CHANGE THE, THE ROUTING ENOUGH TO WHERE WE CAN NOW GET MORE COHESIVE PICKUP AND, UH, LESS TRIPS ON THE ROAD.

AS FAR AS TRUCKS, UH, BEFORE WHEN REPUBLIC WAS WITH US, THEY WERE IN ANAHEIM.

THEY SENT OUT THEIR WHOLE FLEET OF TRUCKS OUT HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY COULD ACCOMMODATE PICKUPS, UH, IN, IN ONE DAY.

AND THEY ONLY HAD TWO BINS.

NOW WE HAVE, UH, WASTE MANAGEMENT, WHICH IS OVER IN CHINO.

UH, I THINK GENERALLY WE'VE HEARD GREAT COMMENTS, UH, ABOUT THE COVERAGE AND THE SERVICE THAT WE'VE BEEN GETTING.

UH, THAT ONE, I, THE ONE ISSUE HAS BEEN THAT WHAT HAPPENS ABOUT THAT THIRD BIN THAT DOESN'T GET PICKED UP UNTIL LATE IN THE AFTERNOON.

SO, HAVING SAID THAT, THAT'S THE BASICS OF WHY THIS HAPPENED.

NOW I'LL ENTERTAIN IF ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS AND IF, IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, UH, THAT WASTE MANAGEMENT WOULD BE BETTER TO IT, UH, WHY DON'T YOU COME ON UP AND WE'LL LET YOU BE AT THE PODIUM.

UH, THESE QUESTIONS GONNA BE FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT OR STAFF.

ANYBODY HAVE, I'M NOT SURE.

IT'S JUST A COUPLE OBSERVATIONS AND FEEDBACK THAT THEY'RE ASKING.

LET'S MAKE THE OBSERVATIONS THAT FIRST AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHO NEEDS TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WE MIGHT HAVE.

I JUST HAD TWO ITEMS. SORRY FOR THAT.

SO I JUST HAD TWO ITEMS. SO THE FIRST ONE, UM, THE, THIS PROPOSED CHANGE IS GONNA TAKE EFFECT THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER IN 2025, BEN, AND THERE WERE SO MANY MOVING PARTS IN DECEMBER BECAUSE WE GIVE LEADWAY TO TICKETS FOR STREET SWEEPING.

THE SCHEDULES ARE DIFFERENT.

PEOPLE ARE VISITING.

I, I DON'T SEE WHY WE CAN'T JUST START IT IN JANUARY OF 2026.

IF THAT'S THE ROUTE.

IF, IF WE CHOOSE TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS.

I WOULD SAY THAT DECEMBER IS LIKE, PROBABLY THE WORST MONTH TO START IT.

EVERYONE'S CRAZY WILLY-NILLY NEIGHBORS VISITING, HAVE VISITORS.

SO THAT'S MY FEEDBACK.

'CAUSE I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD START IN DECEMBER.

I THINK, UH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT TO, UH, RESPOND TO.

WHY, BECAUSE IT'S UNDER HERE.

THEY ARE, THEY'RE ALSO AWARE OF THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE PICKUP.

SO I'M GONNA ASK SUSAN TO STEP OFF TO THE SIDE AND IF I CAN BRING THE WASTE MANAGEMENT TEAM UP, UH, I THINK WE'LL KIND OF NAVIGATE SEVERAL OF THE QUESTIONS, BUT THAT'S A PERFECT FIRST ONE.

STOPS AND STARTS, WHICH IS FINE.

AND THERE COULD BE REASON FOR IT, BUT THAT'S JUST MY INITIAL THING WHEN I SAW IT STARTING IN DECEMBER.

AND THEN THE SECOND ONE, UM, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE MAPS, THE MAPS ARE GREAT, BUT WE, WE KIND OF DON'T LIKE ZONE IN ON LIKE WHERE IT

[00:25:01]

BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT WHEN THESE NEW PROPOSED AREAS HAVE BEEN VETTED, THAT WE DO CLEAN BREAKS WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO, FOR INSTANCE, I LIVE IN HUNTERS HILL, LIKE I WOULD HOPE THAT LIKE TWO STREETS OVER WITHIN HUNTERS HILL, IT'S NOT ON DIFFERENT SCHEDULE.

SO I WOULD HOPE AS REASONABLY AS POSSIBLE, WE COULD KEEP THE SCHEDULES CONSISTENT WITHIN A NEIGHBORHOOD SO EVERYONE'S ON THE SAME SCHEDULE AND TO AVOID EVEN MORE CONFUSION.

SO THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO THINGS I HAD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO THAT, ALRIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WASTE MANAGEMENT DISCUSS? YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT YOU CAN DISCUSS, SIR.

IF I FORGET ONE, PLEASE REMIND ME.

WELL, THANK YOU MAYOR, MEMBERS OF OF KANSAS CITY COUNCIL AND THE CHIN HILLS COMMUNITY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THIS PROPOSED, UM, DAY CHANGE.

SO, UM, KIND OF GOING BACK TO THE MOST RECENT QUESTION THAT I'M THINKING IN MY HEAD.

UM, YES.

SO THE, THE GOAL IS TO UNIFY, UM, NEIGHBORHOODS, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE DIFFERENT CLUSTERS MM-HMM .

AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO BRING 'EM TOGETHER SO YOU WOULDN'T SEE WHERE WE'RE CUTTING OFF A NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT'S TWO STREETS DOWN.

ON THE CONTRARY, WE'RE TRYING TO BE IN A SPECIFIC CITY AREA ON A GIVEN DAY SO THAT WE'RE NOT COMING BACK, UM, ON A DIFFERENT DAY TO THAT SAME AREA BECAUSE THE, THE, THE ROUTE IS CUT OFF AT A CERTAIN, UM, AREA.

SO THE GOAL IS TO CLUSTER, UM, THE CITY INTO MORE CONDENSED, UM, SERVICES, SERVICE AREA SO THAT WE ARE THERE ONE DAY AND WE'RE OUT, UM, IN, IN REGARDING THE, UM, DECEMBER, UM, DATE.

WE ACTUALLY BEEN WANTING TO DO THIS FOR A WHILE AND SO WE WANTED TO GET IT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AND WE UNDERSTAND EITHER, YOU KNOW, THE HOLIDAYS ARE, ARE BUSY.

UM, SO WE DEFINITELY COULD CONSIDER THAT AS AN OPTION IF THAT IS, UM, A BIG CONCERN FOR COUNCIL.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST ONE MONTH, BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO BE LAUNCHED ON JANUARY 1ST OF NEXT YEAR.

IT MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE.

TRUTHFULLY, I THINK WE HAVE CONSENSUS UP HERE THAT WE PREFER A JANUARY 1ST CONVERSION AS OPPOSED TO DECEMBER, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.

YEAH, NO, WE DISCUSSED IT WITH ISRAEL AND DO YOU, I THAT'S FINE ON OUR END.

UM, WE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TAKING IT INTO CONSIDERATION WITH EVERYONE AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL WORK TOGETHER AND GET IT DONE.

UM, UH, WOULD YOU MIND KICKING UP THE, UH, THE BENEFITS SLIDE? WOULD YOU MIND, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS MIND TOUCHING ON EACH OF THOSE BULLET POINTS? JUST I GUESS WHAT IT MEANS FROM WASTE MANAGEMENT AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR, FOR US.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE FIRST BULLET, UH, IMPROVING THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND THAT IS ATTRIBUTED TO US HAVING TO GO FROM ONE END OF THE CITY FOR A PARTICULAR DAY AND THEN HAVING TO GO, UM, TO ANOTHER END.

AND SO WE'RE ACTUALLY TRAVELING A LOT MORE DISTANCES AND THEN THAT INCREASES OUR, OUR TIME THAT WE'RE OUT IN THE SERVICE AREA.

SO IT'S FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THAT BY UNIFYING THESE, UM, NEIGHBORHOODS, WE'RE ABLE TO BE IN AN AREA AT A GIVEN TIME AND NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO DELAY SERVICE FURTHER THAN THE STANDARD TIMES OF, OF, UM, KIND OF GOING BACK TO YOUR CONCERN OF CARRYING OVER MM-HMM .

UM, YOU KNOW, UH, A ROUTE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET TO IT.

AND THEN TO THE SECOND BULLET POINT, WE'VE HAD A THREE BARREL SYSTEM FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

HOW ARE WE REPLA OR HOW ARE WE REPLACING TRUCK VISITS TO THOSE AREAS? OR REDUCING, SORRY, NOT REPLACING.

SO FOR INSTANCE, LIKE IN CARBON CANYON, WE WERE THERE FOR THREE DIFFERENT DAYS AND MONDAYS IN A CERTAIN AREA TRAILER PARK ON TUESDAYS AND THEN WEDNESDAYS THE REST OF IT.

SO PRETTY MUCH WE'RE, WE'RE PUTTING ALL THE, OR GETTING THE ROUTES ARE, UH, ALL PUT TOGETHER.

SO WE'RE THERE JUST ONE DAY BESIDES SLEEPY HOLLOW, WE'LL BE THERE ON WEDNESDAYS.

AND THEN REBALANCING ROUTES TO EASE PRESSURE ON HIGH VOLUME MONDAY ROUTES.

YEAH, SO MONDAY'S SENT TO BE THE, THE BUSIEST OUR, OUR HEAVY, UM, DAYS OF SERVICE FOR US.

AND AS YOU KNOW, FOR US IN OUR INDUSTRY, WE DO HAVE CALL OUTS FROM, UM, DRIVERS.

AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT HEAVINESS.

UM, SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ATTRIBUTE AND BALANCE THOSE DAYS TO GIVE ROOM FOR THOSE CALL OUTS OR ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE NEED TO DO FOR STAFFING PURPOSES.

SO WHY ARE THERE MORE CALL OUTS ON A MONDAY? PEOPLE, I DON'T KNOW.

THEY, YOU KNOW, SUNDAY FOOTBALL DODGERS SAY SUNDAY FOOTBALL, THEY, I'M SURPRISED.

I DON'T, I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW MANY CALL OUTS WE HAD TODAY FROM YESTERDAY'S GAME, BUT THEY DO HAVE, ANY OF US ARE REALLY HERE AFTER WATCHING ANY CALL FOR MONDAY DODGER TEACHERS.

I GOTCHA.

AND THEN, SO FOR ADJUSTMENTS TO FRIDAY TO ACCOMMODATE RESIDENTIAL GROWTH IN THE FUTURE, WHAT ARE WE ATTRIBUTING THAT TO? SO THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE AREAS, UM, OF, YOU KNOW, IN, WHAT IS IT BY, BY EUCLID, UH, ON 71 ON BUTTERFIELD.

SO WE'VE SEEN SOME GROWTH THERE.

AND SO IT'S REALLY, UH, AGAIN, ALLOWING US TO HAVE THAT WIGGLE ROOM TO ACCOMMODATE SERVICE FOR CURRENT GROWTH AND ANY FUTURE GROWTH THAT WE SEE.

SOUNDS GOOD.

AND THEN JUST 'CAUSE I'M GONNA BE A JERK ABOUT

[00:30:01]

IT.

UM, NEVER.

NO, I AM KIDDING.

NO, I, I, YOU KNOW, I, I, I APPRECIATE YOU, UH, REDOING THE SIGNS IN, UH, FAIRFIELD RANCH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD I LIVE IN.

IF YOU GUYS EVER FEEL INCLINED TO TRY TO, UH, HELP WITH, UH, TAKING CARE OF THE, THE WEAR AND TEAR ON OUR STREETS THAT ARE PRIVATELY OWNED, IT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, GREATLY APPRECIATED DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, NO, I THINK THIS IS FINE.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD, IT'S A GOOD MOVE FOR YOU GUYS.

OTHER QUESTIONS? PETER, QUICK QUESTION ON, UH, THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS IS WHEN REPUBLIC WAS PICKING UP, THEY GENERALLY PICKED UP THOSE THREE CANISTERS OR CANS WITHIN A, A SHORT WINDOW OF TIME, LET'S SAY AN HOUR, HOUR AND A HALF, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

, WHAT'S HAPPENED IS, UH, ONE OF OUR CANS IS 6, 7, 8 HOURS LATER, THEORETICALLY, AT LEAST IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, IS THAT TIME GAP GOING TO BE SHORTENED WITH TWO CANS PICKED UP PRETTY QUICKLY, AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS HOURS LATER.

IS THAT GOING TO BE COMPRESSED? SO LET'S SAY THE RECYCLE BIN IS NOT SITTING OUT UNTIL FIVE, SIX AT NIGHT.

SO WE'RE HOPING THAT WITH THE, THE CHANGES WE WILL SEE A MORE CONDENSED SERVICE SCHEDULE.

HOWEVER, WE DO, YOU KNOW, WE, I KNOW THERE'S NO GUARANTEES UNTIL SERVICE TRUCKS ARE, YOU KNOW, FULLY EVEN THEN I, I WOULD HAVE ISSUES WITH, YOU KNOW, DRIVERLESS TRUCKS.

BUT, UM, THE GOAL IS TO SEE THAT OBVIOUSLY THE, IT VARIES, BUT WE DO WANNA BE IN AN AREA AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

WELL, I CAN SEE THIS WILL BENEFIT CARBON CANYON ROAD, WHICH IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGING ROAD.

IF YOU'RE THERE THREE DAYS A WEEK NOW A TRUCK'S COMING AND GOING ON CARBON CANYON ROAD, IT'S BEING REDUCED TO TWO DAYS WITH SLEEPY HOLLOW BEING ITSELF AND IN THE REMAINDER OF, UH, I CAN SEE THAT AS A BENEFIT FOR SURE ON MONDAY.

YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB.

JUST WANNA SAY SOMETHING REAL FAST.

I KNOW.

GREEN WASTE.

UM, I'VE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS OR A COUPLE COMPLAINTS, AND I JUST WANNA THANK YOU MRS. CHAVEZ, WHEN I HAVE THESE, THESE ISSUES, YOU WILL CALL THEM, YOU'LL TAKE CARE OF THOSE PROBLEMS. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

APPRECIATE IT.

UH, ANOTHER THING THAT BENEFIT THAT YOU HAVE COME UP WITH, I HAVE A NEIGHBOR A COUPLE DOORS DOWN WHO IS, UH, A WIDOW AND IS NOT, HAS BACK PROBLEMS. AND I PUT HER IN CONTACT WITH GLENDA ABOUT, THEY HAVE A SERVICE WHERE THEY WILL ACTUALLY, THE, THE TRASH TRUCK WILL STOP, GO INTO THE YARD, TAKE THE TRASH CAN OUT, EMPTY IT ON WITH THE TRUCK, AND TAKE AND PUT IT BACK.

IT'S A GREAT SERVICE FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE, UH, DISABILITIES THAT, UH, THAT CAN'T DO THAT.

THE OTHER THING THAT YOU MIGHT WANNA COMMENT ON, JUST BECAUSE THIS IS A PUBLIC MEETING MM-HMM .

WELL, IT'S, IT'S BEING HEARD BY THE PUBLIC'S.

PUT THAT WAY.

UH, THERE'S, WE GET A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IRRITATED BY GETTING LETTERS IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE, WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF STUFF THEY PUT IN THE WRONG BIN.

AND, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS TELL THEM WHEN THEY, WHEN THEY BEND MY EAR ABOUT IT, LOOK, THEY MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE.

THERE'S PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS ON THE TOP OF ALL THREE CANS, BUT THEY'VE MADE A VALID, UH, POINT ABOUT THIS IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS.

WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY PUT THEIR TRASH OUT MAYBE THE NIGHT BEFORE AND PEOPLE WILL COME BY AND JUST DUMP STUFF IN THEIR TRASH CANS BECAUSE THEIR OWN IS FULL MM-HMM .

AND THEY DON'T CARE WHAT BIN THEY PUT IT IN.

AND THEN THE PERSON GETS A TICKET OR A, A LETTER IN THE MAIL SAYING YOU'RE GONNA GET A TICKET.

UH, IF YOU QUIT, DON'T PUT QUIT, QUIT PUTTING THE WRONG THING IN THE WRONG CAN.

ANYTHING CAN BE DONE THERE OR YOU HAVE A COMMENT JUST FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW ABOUT I PUT MY STUFF IN ARCH TRASH CAN.

AND THAT'S A LONG DRIVE FROM HIM.

HE DRIVE ALL THE WAY BACK.

FAIRFIELD W RANCH TO VILLAGE JOKES .

NO, I MEAN, THE, THE NOTICES ARE MEANT TO BE AS A WARNING.

OBVIOUSLY.

WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WITH A, YOU KNOW, WITH THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD NOTICE THAT THE BEHAVIOR'S CHANGED.

WE DO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME NEIGHBORS WHO MIGHT BE THROWING A PARTY, THE TRASH CAN GETS FULL AND THEY USE YOURS JUST LETTING US KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENED.

UM, WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO MAKE THAT ADJUSTMENT TO THE ACCOUNT.

UM, WE'RE REALLY NOT OUT THERE TO TRY TO BE THE POLICE.

WE'RE JUST REALLY TRYING TO INCREASE THE DI THE CITY'S DIVERSIONS LEVEL, WHICH WE HAVE SEEN AN IMPROVEMENT BASED ON EVERYBODY'S PARTICIPATION.

AND SO, UM, WE DO APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO IS DOING THE RIGHT THING.

AND AGAIN, YOU DON'T DICTATE WHAT GOES IN EACH CAN.

IT'S A STATE MANDATE TO YOU TO DO IT, WHICH PEOPLE YES.

IN THE UNDERSTAND THE RECYCLING MARKET.

COMING FORWARD, BUT I THINK WE'LL WORK WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT TO IDENTIFY A EARLY 2026 IMPLEMENTATION AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, BUT OUTSIDE OF THE HOLIDAY, UH, KIND OF COMPLEXITY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS? I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.

I THINK BEN PROBABLY HAS DIRECTION, RIGHT? UH, YEAH, MAYOR AND, UH, COUNSEL, UH, I WANTED TO CLARIFY, UH, THERE'S NO ACTION FOR YOU TO TAKE TONIGHT.

OUR GOAL WAS TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK, MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD THE BENEFITS, BECAUSE ULTIMATELY A QUARTER OF OUR, UH, UH, RESIDENTS ARE GONNA BE AFFECTED BY THIS.

AND SO WHAT I HEARD CLEARLY, AND I KNOW WASTE MANAGEMENT DID AS WELL, IS THAT WITH THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE HOLIDAYS, UH, THE IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE SHOULD BE OUTSIDE OF THAT WINDOW.

NOW THERE'LL BE COMMUNICATION TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT IT

[00:35:01]

SO THANK YOU FOR, FOR THAT FEEDBACK.

NEXT ITEM, OUR NEXT ITEM

[12. Introduce an Ordinance regarding parking fines entitled: An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Amending Sections 10.04.020 Regarding Parking Fines, 10.08.020 (Prohibited Stopping, Standing, or Parking), and 10.08.200 (Parking in Handicap Stall) of the Chino Hills Municipal Code and Finding the Same to be Exempt from the Provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act” for first reading by title only and waive further reading and adopt resolution designating specified off-street spaces for exclusive purpose of charging and parking vehicle that is connected for electric charging purposes pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 22511 authorizing the ticketing and removal of vehicles if not connected for electrical vehicle charging purposes]

IS TO INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE REGARDING PARKING FINES.

THIS WILL BE PRESENTED BY ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER HILL.

THANK YOU, BRANDON.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT PROPOSES AMENDING THREE PARKING RELATED MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS AND THE ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION, UH, DESIGNATE CERTAIN MUNICIPAL PARKING SPACES FOR EXCLUSIVE ELECTRIC, ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING.

UM, NEXT SLIDE HERE.

THE OUR FIRST CODE AMENDMENT IS TO SECTION 10.0 1.020 TO PROHIBIT PARKING IN FRONT YARDS OTHER THAN ON A DRIVEWAY.

THE PROPOSED FEE FOR THIS VIOLATION IS $48.

AND THE BACKGROUND HERE IS, IS THAT FREQUENTLY CODE ENFORCEMENT GETS CALLS AND SAYS ON THE WEEKEND, MY NEIGHBORS WERE PARKING IN THE YARD.

AND WE HAVE NO WAY OF, OF ENFORCING THAT AFTER THE FACT.

SO THIS WILL ALLOW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO DO ENFORCEMENT, IF APPROPRIATE.

IT'LL BE AT THEIR DISCRETION, BUT THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO, TO CITE FOR PARKING ON THE YARD.

UH, THE NEXT CODE IS AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 10.08, 10.0 8.020 TO PROHIBIT PARKING WITHIN 20 FEET OF A MARKED OR UNMARKED CROSSWALK.

THIS IS A NEW LAW THAT TOOK EFFECT THIS YEAR.

UH, WE DIDN'T HAVE A SPECIFIC, UH, FINDING IN PLACE FOR IT.

SO WE ARE ALSO ALSO PROPOSING A $48 FINE.

$48 IS OUR COMMON PARKING FINE.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, IN THE CITY THAT'S OUR TYPICAL FINE.

UM, THE MORE EGREGIOUS FINES RELATED TO FIRE LANE VIOLATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ARE HIGHER.

UH, THE LAST CODE SECTION FOR PARKING THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING IS, UH, RELATED TO SECTION 10.0 8, 2 0 0 TO PARKING, UM, IN ACCESS AREAS ADJACENT TO DESIGNATED DISABLED PARKING SPACES.

THESE ARE OFTENTIMES THE HASH MARK AREAS RELATE NEXT TO THE PARKING SPACE AND PEOPLE HAVE TENDENCY TO CEMENT PARK THERE.

OUR CODE SPECIFICALLY NOW ONLY ADDRESSES THE DISABLED PARKING SPOT ITSELF.

SO THIS WILL ALSO MAKE IT ALSO A VIOLATION OF PARKING, THE HASH MARK NEXT TO IT, THE UNLOADING LOADING AREA NEXT TO THAT PARKING SPACE.

AND THAT'LL BE A THREE $13 FINE, JUST LIKE IT IS FOR A DISABLED PARKING SPACE VIOLATION.

WILL THAT RE REQUIRE A REVISION TO THE DISABLED PARKING SIGNS? NO.

AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THAT WILL NOT REQUIRE IT.

YEAH, WE JUST DON'T WANT PEOPLE DOING IT AND SAYING, OH, I DIDN'T KNOW.

ALRIGHT, GOOD.

THE NEXT ONE MIGHT AFFECT SOME SIGNAGE AND WE'LL ADDRESS THIS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

UH, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE PRETTY CLOSELY.

UM, THE LAST RECOMMENDATION IS AN ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING CERTAIN CITY OWNED PARKING SPACES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING ONLY.

UH, THERE ARE CURRENTLY CITY OWNED CHARGING SPACES IN THE PARKING STRUCTURE, UH, TO THE NORTH CITY HALL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CITY HALL ADJACENT TO THE PARKING STRUCTURE AND AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, UH, RELATED TO THOSE.

SO WE ARE PROPOSING THAT WE'LL ACTUALLY DESIGNATE THOSE WITHIN THE STATE, UM, OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN THEN ENFORCE THE, UH, VEHICLE CODE RELATED TO THOSE PARKING SPACES.

SO IF PEOPLE ARE PARKED THERE AND NOT CHARGING, THEN IT IS A VIOLATION.

THEY CAN BE CITED FOR THAT.

ROD, ROUGHLY HOW MANY SPOTS ARE THERE FOR EV? I BELIEVE THERE'S AROUND SEVEN HERE AT CITY HALL AND CURRENTLY THREE OVER.

AND THAT INCLUDES THE PARKING STRUCTURE AND THEN THREE OVER AT COMMUNITY CENTER WITH THE ADDITION OF TWO ADDITIONAL SPACE, I THINK, THAT ARE BEING DESIGNATED RIGHT NOW.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE IN THE SHOPS? THOSE ARE NOT OURS.

SO THIS RESOLUTION ONLY APPLIES TO CITY OWNED PUBLIC OWNED PARKING SPACES THAT ARE OFF THE STREET.

JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT FOR THE RECORD.

THAT THIS WOULD ONLY APPLY TO OURS.

IT WOULD NOT APPLY TO THEIRS, AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY THE CODE'S WRITTEN.

WE HAVE TO DESIGNATE OUR SPACES, OUR PUBLIC OWNED SPACES WE HAVE DESIGNATED OURSELVES.

UH, JUAN, QUICK QUESTION.

THE FIRST SLIDE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, UH, RESIDENTIAL PARKING IN THE FRONT YARD.

UNPAVED.

WHAT ABOUT ADU? IS IT REQUIRED TO HAVE A, A PAVED, UH, DRIVEWAY? YOU KNOW, I CAN VERIFY THAT.

I BELIEVE THEY STILL HAVE TO HAVE A DRIVEWAY.

THEY STILL CANNOT PARK IN THE YARD IS, I GUESS IS HOW I SHOULD PHRASE THAT.

RIGHT? THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL GARAGE STRUCTURES, AND NICK MIGHT BE THE BEST ONE TO ADDRESS THAT.

BUT IT DOESN'T PERMIT THEM NECESSARILY TO PARK IN THE YARD.

OUR CODE STILL REQUIRES THAT THEY HAVE TO PARK IN A, SO THE WAY I'M READING THIS IS THIS PROHIBIT PARKING IN FRONT YARD OR ANY SURFACE OTHER THAN THE PA PAVED DRIVEWAY ON ANY SURFACE OTHER THAN THE PAVED DRIVEWAY.

SO THEY HAVE TO PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY, THEY'D HAVE TO PARK IN A DRIVEWAY OR ON THE STREET.

SO JUST, AND I KNOW THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE DRIVEWAY.

SO IN A DU DOES IT REQUIRE TO HAVE A PAID DRIVEWAY? I DON'T KNOW.

THEY DON'T NOT HAVE TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL DRIVEWAY.

SO WHERE ARE THEY GONNA PARK? THEY'RE GONNA PARK IN THE STREET.

THEY CAN'T PARK ON THE GRASS.

GRASS.

THEY CAN'T PARK ON THE LINE.

WHAT IF IT'S DIRT ADJACENT TO THE DRIVEWAY? UH, WE CAN, I GUESS LOOK AT IT, BUT CURRENTLY IT HAS TO BE, THE WAY WE WROTE THE CODE WAS TO HAVE IT PARKED ON A, ON A PAVE SURFACE.

ARE YOU THINKING THAT WE HAVE SPECIFIC AREAS THIS MIGHT BE A PROBLEM? I'M JUST LOOKING AT ADUS.

I I HAVE A FEELING THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT MORE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

[00:40:01]

SO MY QUESTION, WHAT, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO TO BE PROACTIVE? WELL, UNDER THE COURT, SACRAMENTO DOESN'T ALLOW US TO REQUIRE PARKING SPACES FOR ADUS.

I MEAN, NICK, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I MEAN, THEY, THEY STARTED OFF AND WE WERE ALLOWED TO REQUIRE 'EM AND WE COULDN'T GET, I MEAN, BUT THEY'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO REQUIRE PARKING FOR ADUS.

YEAH, THERE WA THERE THE LAW HAS EVOLVED EVERY LEGISLATIVE SESSION WITH REGARD TO THAT.

SO THERE'S A, A RECENT CHANGE THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT, UM, JULY 1ST.

THAT FURTHER RESTRICTS OUR ABILITY TO, UH, REQUIRE PARKING FOR ADUS.

OFTEN WE CAN WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, ENCOURAGE THEM TO, UH, INCREASE THE WIDTH OF THEIR DRIVEWAY TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACE.

UH, BUT, UM, IT, IT GENERALLY OUR CODE PROHIBITS PARKING ON UNPAVED SURFACES.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS WITH THIS, THIS CODE UPDATE.

BUT, UH, WHEN, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS ARE WORKING WITH US TO BUILD AN A DU, UH, OFTEN THEY DO WANT TO FIGURE OUT, UM, HOW THEY'RE GONNA ADDRESS PARKING BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S THEIR PROPERTY.

THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN, UM, UH, NEEDS FOR THAT.

I'M JUST SAYING IF WE CAN SUGGEST THAT THEY ACTUALLY WIDEN THE DRIVEWAY, THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD.

SO THANK YOU.

IS TO REVIEW AND FILE AN UPDATE TO THE CITY HALL FIRE EMERGENCY DECLARATION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, ACTION REQUIRED.

YEAH, SO THAT'S REALLY ALL WE HAVE.

UH, COUNCIL, MAYOR, AND CITY COUNCIL.

UH, JUST IN SUMMARY, WE RECOMMEND THOSE THREE, UH, AMENDMENTS TO THOSE THREE MUNICIPAL CODES FOR PARKING AND THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE PUBLIC, UH, PARKING FOR EV VEHICLES.

AND WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL WE GIVE THE RESOLUTION TO PASSED.

AND THE, THE SECOND WE HAVE A MOTION BY RAY.

[13. Review and file update to City Hall Fire Emergency Declaration in accordance with Public Construction Code 22050 and continue to authorize City Manager to negotiate and execute all necessary agreements related to repair and restoration of City Hall under Chino Hills Municipal Code 2.08.065.A.1. on an emergency basis, and determine by four-fifths vote the need to continue existence of local emergency for City Hall Fire pursuant to Public Construction Code Section 22050 until action is terminated]

THIS WILL BE PRESENTED BY CITY MANAGER MONTGOMERY.

IT AREA UPDATING THINGS BEFORE WHILE THINGS WERE STILL OPENED UP? YEAH, SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN, UH, UH, WHAT HAS BEEN PAID BY, UH, THE INSURANCE AGENCY AND, UH, ITEMS THAT WE DON'T THINK THEY'RE GONNA COVER ARE EXACTLY THAT IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE DAMAGE.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UH, TONIGHT'S ITEM IS, UH, ONE THAT WE'VE VISITED, UH, UH, FREQUENTLY SINCE OUR FIRE ON JUNE 23RD.

UM, ON AUGUST UH, 11TH, THE COUNCIL, UH, TOOK SPECIAL ACTION IN ORDER TO BE ABLE, IN ORDER TO GIVE THE CITY MANAGER AND STAFF, UH, THE FLEXIBILITY TO BRING CITY HALL BACK FROM THE FIRE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

UH, UH, IT'S BECOME, UH, UH, A REQUIREMENT OF THAT ACTION, THE EMERGENCY ACTION TO BRING TO THE COUNCIL UPDATES AND NOR, AND TO HAVE THE COUNCIL BY FOUR FIFTHS, UH, VOTE, UH, CONTINUE, UH, THE, UH, EMERGENCY, UH, DECLARATION.

AND WHAT WE ARE, UH, HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE OUR LAST MEETING IS THAT, OF COURSE, ALL OF OUR STAFF ARE BACK IN CITY HALL.

WE CONTINUE TO BE SERVING THE PUBLIC, UH, THROUGH OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AWAY FROM OUR MAIN COUNTERS WHILE WE REPAIR THE, UH, ELEVATOR.

THE ELEVATOR REPAIR HAS BEGUN.

WE ANTICIPATE IT WILL BE, UH, COMPLETED BY MID-NOVEMBER.

UH, AT THAT TIME WE'LL TAKE THE TEMPORARY WALL DOWN AND, UH, THE PUBLIC WILL BE ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH STAFF AT THE COUNTERS, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE, UH, FUTURE REPAIRS, UH, TO THOSE COUNTERS.

THEY'RE MOSTLY STRUCTURAL AND COSMETIC, BUT NOT SAFETY ISSUES.

SO WE'LL DO THOSE, UH, DURING, UH, PRIMARILY DURING THE CHRISTMAS BREAK, UH, WHEN WE HAVE, UH, NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS AND A FEW DAYS THAT WE CAN, UH, UH, SECURE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.

UM, WHAT'S WHAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, AND I THINK TO THE TEAM THAT THE COUNCIL BE AWARE OF, IS WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR INSURER, THE CALIFORNIA JOINT POWERS INSURANCE AGENCY.

AND THEY'VE BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH, BUT THE PROCESS REQUIRES THEM TO REVIEW ALL THE PROPOSED WORK THAT'S GETTING DONE.

AND TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, THE COUNCIL GAVE, UH, THE CITY MANAGER AND STAFF THE FLEXIBILITY TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, WHICH MEANT THERE WERE TIMES WHERE WE WERE AUTHORIZING THE WORK PRIOR TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY, UH, CONFIRMING THAT THEY WERE ON BOARD WITH, UH, THE EXPENSES.

I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT.

OF THE $3.93 MILLION THAT, OF WORK THAT HAS OCCURRED, 3.67 OF IT HAS BEEN PAID BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

SO SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, OVER A MILLION DOLLARS OF WORK THAT WAS UNDER REVIEW HAS NOW BEEN PAID.

SO WE HAVE FAR LESS, UH, UH, WORK, UH, THAT'S STILL BEING REVIEWED.

SO OUR, UH, ESTIMATE IS STILL THAT THE TOTAL PROJECT WILL BE ABOUT $4.5 MILLION.

UH, BUT WE'RE A LOT CLOSER TO THE COMPLETION OF THIS PROCESS THAN WE WERE EVEN TWO WEEKS AGO.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

FANTASTIC.

THOSE ADDITIONAL EXPENSES WERE A LOT OF THOSE IN I IN THE

[00:45:01]

BUT WHILE WE WERE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, IT MADE SENSE FOR US TO DO THAT.

SO, UH, IT IMPROVEMENTS SOME OFFICE RECONFIGURATIONS, BUT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE OCCURRED ACTUALLY WERE PART OF, UH, THE, UH, UH, AREA OF COVERAGE.

YEAH, IT WAS JUST A SMART TIME TO MAKE THOSE UPGRADES 'CAUSE THEY, THEY WERE IN NEED OF IT.

SO, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I DO HAVE A QUESTION, MAYOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UM, FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO SAY STAFF, YOU CITY MANAGER, GREAT JOB TO GET BACK AS FAST AS WE, WE HAVE FOR SURE.

BUT THE QUESTION THAT I DO HAVE, UM, YES, WE DID HAVE A FIRE.

IT WAS A REAL SMALL FIRE.

I THINK ONLY TWO SPRINKLER HEADS ACTUALLY WENT OFF, BUT THE MOST OF THE DAMAGE WAS DONE BECAUSE OF WATER DAMAGE.

SO MY QUESTION, HAVE WE DONE ANYTHING WITH OUR ALARM SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE THAT ISN'T HAPPENING AGAIN? UH, NO.

THE, THE, THE WAY OUR SYSTEM WORKS, UH, UH, REQUIRES THAT ONCE IT'S ACTIVATED FOR IT TO BE SHUT OFF, UH, WE HAVE, UH, STARTED LOOKING AT WHETHER OTHER ALTERNATE, UH, UH, SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS MIGHT GET RID OF THE CONCERN THAT THERE COULD BE A GAP OF TIME BETWEEN THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE, UH, THE SPRINKLER HEAD AND IT BEING SHUT OFF.

UH, UNFORTUNATELY THAT WOULD REQUIRE A PRETTY WHOLESALE CHANGE TO THE BUILDING STRUCTURE, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT WHETHER ALARMS OR OTHER TECHNOLOGY COULD KIND OF SHRINK THAT RISK FOR US.

AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT STAFF'S LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.

JUST ONE LAST QUESTION ACTUALLY, CHIEF, UH, I DID TALK TO CHIEF WILLIAMS AND HE MADE A COMMENT TO ME, I GUESS THE NIGHT OF THE FIRE, YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB, BUT NOT TOO MANY PE YOUR PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN IN CITY HALL.

HAVE WE ACTUALLY HAD A TOUR OF CITY HALL WITH THE, UH, FIRE EMPLOYEES SO THEY KNOW WHERE EVERY, ALL THE SHUTOFFS ARE.

AND IF WE HAVEN'T, COULD WE DO THAT? UH, WE'VE DONE THAT IN THE PAST, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE LAST TIME WE, WE, UH, HAD OUR POLICE AND FIRE STAFF DO A TOUR.

BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY PUT THAT, UH, ON THE RADAR.

ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND, UH, APPROVE THIS.

I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE ITEM, MR. MAYOR, I'LL SECOND.

LOCK IN YOUR VOTES PLEASE.

MOTION PASSES.

FIVE ZERO.

ARE ABOUT TO ENTER INTO THE AREA OF PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[14. Authorize execution of 20-year Business Development Agreement with Western Water Works Supply Company in amount of lesser of 50 percent of sales tax generated by headquarters in prior fiscal year or $359,398, with a three percent increase each year to continue providing economic incentives in form of an economic development subsidy for retaining corporate headquarters in Chino Hills ]

UH, CHERYL, WOULD YOU READ THE, UH, INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS? SO THIS IS THE FIRST AND THE FIRST ITEM NUMBER 14? YES.

THIS IS THE PORTION OF THE COUNCIL THAT'S FOR ALL MATTERS THAT LEGALLY REQUIRE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC INPUT.

AGAIN, PLEASE COMPLETE AND SUBMIT A SPEAKER CARD AND GIVE IT TO THE DEPUTY CITY CLERK TO MY LEFT.

THE FIRST ITEM IS TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A 20 YEAR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH WESTERN WATERWORKS SUPPLY COMPANY.

THIS WILL BE PRESENTED BY CITY MANAGER MONTGOMERY.

ALRIGHT, BEN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO WALK US THROUGH THIS? VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY, UH, AGREEMENT? YES, MAYOR.

SO, UH, WHAT WE WANTED TO BRING FOR THE COUNCIL TONIGHT IS AN EXTENSION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

UH, SO THE CITY HAS HAD A, UH, UM, A DEVELOPMENT OR A BUSINESS AGREEMENT WITH WESTERN WATERWORKS, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE PINE CORPORATE CENTER, UH, SINCE 2006.

UH, THIS AGREEMENT IS A TAX SHARING, UH, UH, RELATIONSHIP WHERE THE SALES THAT ARE GENERATED, UH, AND UH, UH, THAT OCCUR AT THIS LOCATION, UH, FOR MULTIPLE SITES FOR THE BUSINESS, UH, ALLOWS, UH, THAT BUSINESS TO SHARE IN THE TAXES THAT ARE GENERATED, UH, IN ESSENCE 50% UP TO, LET'S SEE, UP TO $359,000.

UH, THE BUSINESS WILL BE ABLE TO, UH, SHARE IN THE TAX AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY.

I, I GUESS THAT'S, IT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT.

SO FOR EVERY DOLLAR THAT THIS, UH, CORPOR CORPORATION GENERATES IN TAX DOLLARS, 50, 50% IS REBATED TO THEM UP TO $359,000.

THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR GOING ON 20 YEARS.

UH, THE, UH, BUSINESS, UH, HAS 20 PLUS EMPLOYEES THAT ARE LOCATED HERE.

SO IT ALSO IS GENERATING, UH, EMPLOYMENT IN THE CITY, BUT IT, IT ALSO PROVIDES US WITH A, UH, UM, REVENUE STREAM THAT WOULD NOT OCCUR IF THE BUSINESS WERE LOCATED, UH, IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

UH, THEY HAVE, UH, OTHER OPERATIONS IN WESTERN WATERWORKS IN FOUR, UH, STATES, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA.

UH,

[00:50:01]

IT WILL, UH, SUNSET OR EXPIRE IN, UH, SEPTEMBER OF 2026.

AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS TO EXTEND THIS UNDER THE, THE SAME TERMS, UH, FOR ANOTHER 20 YEARS.

UH, I HAVE A COMMENT THAT I'D LIKE TO JUST MENTION BEFORE WE GO INTO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, THE FATHER AND SON THAT OWN THIS BUSINESS AND RUN IT LIVE HERE IN CHINO HILLS, THEY LOVE IT UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, A POINT OF SALE SALES TAX THAT IS GENERATED TYPICALLY MEANS THAT THE WORK IS, HAS TO BE DONE IN, IN THE, UH, WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY'S BOUNDARIES.

UH, AND THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, WE ARE, WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE IN THAT ALL THE SALES TAX IS CREDITED TO THIS LOCATION.

SO EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF OUR CITY BOUNDARIES, WE ARE BEING ABLE TO SHARE IN THE SALES TAX ON THAT, UH, BASED ON THEIR POINT OF SALES COLLECTION.

SO THIS IS A REALLY GOOD DEAL FOR US AND IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR THE OWNERS BECAUSE THEY LOVE IT HERE IN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.

SO WITH THAT, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

I'M GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, UH, OFFICIALLY AND, UH, DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS? YES.

AT THIS TIME WE HAVE NO MA.

GOOD EVENING MEMBERS, UH, OF THE COUNCIL.

UM, JUST SOME QUICK QUESTIONS.

I'VE LIVED IN THE, IN, UM, THE PINEHURST AREA OFF OF WHERE THIS, UM, UH, THE CURRENT COMPANY IS.

AND FROM WHAT I READ ON THE REPORT, IS THAT POTENTIALLY A WAREHOUSE IS GONNA BE BUILT OR IS THAT TRUE? NO, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

UH, THIS, UH, I THINK THE CONFUSION IS, IS BECAUSE THE CORPORATE CENTER THAT DOES THE BILLING IS FOR WAREHOUSES LOCATED IN OTHER AREAS.

AND SO THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME CONFUSION WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THIS AS A WAREHOUSING BUSINESS.

RIGHT.

IT IS NOT LOOKING TO BRING WAREHOUSING TO THE AREA.

UH, THIS IS AN OFFICE CENTER WHERE, UH, THE, THE CALLS FOR ORDERS AND BILLS ARE PROCESSED.

PERFECT.

AND IN THE 20, IF THIS, UM, AGREEMENT IS EXTENDED, THE A AND I, THE IDEA OR PROPOSAL TO BUILD A WAREHOUSE IN THAT AREA IS NOT IN THAT AGREEMENT.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.

'CAUSE I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I WAS CONCERNED WITH THAT, THINKING THAT SOMETHING WOULD BE BILLED THERE.

THE BENEFITS ARE GREAT.

I'M SURE THEY'RE, THEY'RE GREAT FOR THE CITY, THAT TYPE OF REVENUE IS, BUT, UM, TRUCK TRAFFIC NOISE, UM, THE TIME THAT A, A WAREHOUSE WOULD BE RUNNING WAS MY BIGGEST CONCERN.

UM, SO I THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THAT.

I APPRECIATE IT.

UM, I DID WANNA SAY THAT ON THAT TR IF I MAY ADD SOMETHING ABOUT THE, THE TRASH.

UM, I THINK THE, UM, CITY, NOT THE CITY, BUT THE UM, UM, WEST WASTE MANAGEMENT STAFF MENTIONED THAT, UM, THEY, THEY'RE NOT OUT THERE TO POLICE THE TRASH AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.

UM, WE RECEIVED, OR I RECEIVED, UM, SHE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A WARNING INSTEAD OF CHARGING PEOPLE, UM, I BEGGED TO DIFFER.

I DID NOT RECEIVE A WARNING AND WE WERE CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL TRASH CAN, A FEE FOR OUR TRASH, BEING SLIGHTLY UNABLE TO CLOSE IDENTIFYING IT AS AN ADDITIONAL, UM, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT? PICKUP OR AN ADDITIONAL TRASH CAN.

AND WE WERE CHARGED, UM, AN ADDITIONAL FEE AS IF IT WAS AN ADDITIONAL TRASH CAN.

SO INSTEAD OF HAVING TO BE CHARGED, UM, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? UM, UNPLANNED.

I JUST HAD TO, HOW DO YOU SAY? IN MY, IN MY ACCOUNT, GET AN ADDITIONAL TRASH CAN SO THAT WE WOULDN'T BE CHARGED FOR A SLIGHT, IT MIGHT HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SIZE OF YOUR TRASH CANS BECAUSE THERE ARE VARIOUS SIZES AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE, WHEN THEY WERE ISSUING THE ORIGINAL TRASH CANS, REQUESTED SMALLER TRASH CANS.

WHICH DON'T, I, I DON'T REMEMBER THAT AND I APOLOGIZE, MR. I I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.

JUST TRYING TO EXPLAIN.

I HAVE NOTICED THOUGH, OR I DID NOTICE IMMEDIATELY THAT THE TRASH CANS WERE SMALLER.

THAT, THAT WAS MY, MY, MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF IT.

BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I DON'T WANNA EXCEED MY LIVING.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANY OTHER, UH, QUESTIONS? NOT FOR THIS ITEM.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING THAT WE, WE DO THIS WITH THIS COMPANY AS FAR AS SERVICES.

ANYONE ELSE OUT IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK OR MAKE COMMENTS UNDER PUBLIC, UH, UH, PUBLIC HEARING? EXCUSE ME.

UNDER PUBLIC HEARING? IF NOT, I'M GONNA OFFICIALLY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

BRING IT BACK UP HERE FOR QUESTIONS.

I GOT A QUESTION.

[00:55:01]

IT DOESN'T REALLY, WE'RE NOT PROVIDING A WHOLE LOT OF SERVICE FROM THE CITY, CORRECT? NO, THAT'S, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

AND FOR, THEY'RE BASICALLY AN OFFICE BUILDING, SO, UH, THEY'RE BRINGING, UH, EMPLOYEES WHO I'M SURE BUY, UH, UH, LUNCHES AND SHOP IN TOWN.

SO IT, IT'S, IT HAS THAT BENEFIT AS WELL IN ADDITION TO THE REVENUE IT GENERATES FOR THE CITY.

IT'S A, UH, UH, IT'S A QUALITY EMPLOYER.

BEN AND I ACTUALLY MET WITH THE, THE OWNERS OF THE COMPANY IN THEIR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS THERE IN, IN PINE AVENUE CORPORATE CENTER.

THOSE THAT ENTIRE CENTER, UH, WAS BUILT ORIGINALLY YOU COULD OWN OR RENT THOSE FACILITIES AND IT'S STRICTLY FOR CORPORATIONS, FOR HEADQUARTERS, THERE'S REAL ESTATE REALTORS IN THERE AND THERE ARE VARIOUS HEADQUARTERS FOR INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES THAT, THAT DO BUSINESS OUT OF THERE.

BUT THERE IS NO ZONING IN THAT AREA AND NO SPACE IN THAT AREA FOR ANY ACTUAL, UH, WAREHOUSES.

IT WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED.

SO THAT'S A GREAT DEAL.

WE APPRECIATE THAT THEY ARE STAYING WITH CHINO HILL.

IT'S, IT'S A REALLY GOOD DEAL FOR THE CITY.

I WAS JUST GONNA MAKE A QUICK COMMENT.

OH SURE.

YOU KNOW, UM, IT'S, THIS IS REALLY JUST A PAPERWORK, YOU KNOW, A PAPERWORK DEAL AND I WISH WE HAD MORE OF THEM.

I KNOW AT ONE POINT WE HAD THE JACUZZI, YOU KNOW, NORTH AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS HERE AT THE SHOPS.

IF WE CAN EVER TRACK DOWN, YOU KNOW, ESSENTIALLY FREE MONEY FOR JUST MAKING US THE POINT OF SALE.

I LOVE IT.

'CAUSE THE WAY I SEE IT IS HOW MANY DEPUTIES CAN WE PAY FOR WITH SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THIS? AND, YOU KNOW, AND, AND TO YOUR POINT MA'AM.

UP IS THE ADOPTION APPROVING PROPOSED NEW FEES FEE FOR REVISIONS AND INCREASES AND ADOPTING THE MASTER SCHEDULED FEES, FINES AND PENALTIES.

THIS IS LITERALLY JUST MONEY COMING THROUGH A, A CORPORATE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, A CORPORATE OFFICE AND NO, NO INFRASTRUCTURE GOING INTO, YOU KNOW, TO BUILD A WAREHOUSE OR ANYTHING.

SO IT'S, IT'S A FANTASTIC DEAL.

I'M GLAD THE CITY DID IT A LONG TIME AGO AND I'M GLAD WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE WITH IT.

ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I'LL MOVE IT.

THE ITEM.

ALRIGHT, WE HAVE MO MOTION AND A SECOND LOCK IN YOUR VOTES.

WHO GAVE THE SECOND? PARDON? ME? WHO WAS THE SECOND ONE? PETER OR ME? JUST EITHER ONE.

[15. Adopt resolution approving proposed new fees, fee revisions and increases, and adopting the Master Schedule of Fees, Fines and Penalties effective January 1, 2026 and determining it is exempt from review under California Environmental Quality Act]

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2026.

AND DETERMINING IT IS EXEMPT FROM REVIEW UNDER CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.

AND, UH, FINANCE DIRECTOR IS GOING TO DISCUSS THIS AND WE WILL HAVE A, A, UH, COUNCIL DISCUSSION, UH, AND THEN WE'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

KRISTA, THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14TH, WE HELD A FEE WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS IN DETAIL THE VARIOUS CHANGES TO THE CITY'S, UH, MASTER SCHEDULE OF FEES, FINES, AND PENALTIES.

CITY STAFF WORKED WITH WILL DEN FINANCIAL SERVICES TO COMPLETE THIS UPDATE, ANALYZING SERVICE COSTS AND RECOMMENDING ADJUSTMENTS TO ENSURE THE FEES REMAIN FAIR AND DEFENSIBLE.

TONIGHT I'LL PROVIDE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF HOW USER FEES ARE CALCULATED AS WELL AS THE NEW AND INCREASED FEES BEING PROPOSED.

USER FEES ARE ADOPTED TO FUND PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT PROVIDE A DIRECT BENEFIT TO THE INDIVIDUAL PAYING THE FEE WITH LIMITED OR NO DIRECT BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY.

THE CITY'S USER FEES ARE BASED ON A COST RECOVERY CONCEPT, MEANING THAT THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE GENERATED FROM THE FEES MAY NOT EXCEED THE ESTIMATED REASONABLE COST OF PROVIDING THE SERVICE.

THE USER FEES ARE CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE FULLY BURDENED HOURLY DEPARTMENT OR DIVISION RATES BY THE AVERAGE TIME SPENT TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE USER FEE.

FULLY BURDENED HOURLY RATES INCLUDE SALARY AND BENEFIT COSTS, PLUS ALL APPLICABLE OVERHEAD AMOUNTS FOR THE BLENDED GROUP, WHICH IS EITHER THE DEPARTMENT OR DIVISION.

EVERY YEAR STAFF EVALUATES THE TIME SPENT ON VARIOUS SERVICES IN THEIR DEPARTMENT AND ADJUST THE TIME DATA AS NEEDED, BASED ON THE AVERAGE TIME SPENT ON EACH SERVICE.

STAFF IS PROPOSING THAT THESE REVISED FEES WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2026.

THIS YEAR, A TOTAL OF 12 NEW FEES HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED TO BETTER REFLECT THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY AND ENSURE COST RECOVERY.

SINCE WE HAVE ALREADY DISCUSSED THEM AT THE WORKSHOP, I'LL BRIEFLY SHOW THEM FOR THE AUDIENCE HERE WE HAVE THE NEW FEES FOR BUILDING SERVICES, THE CITY CLERK'S, OFFICE CODE ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITY SERVICES.

AND THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE NEW FEES FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND A NEW PENALTY FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A PRESENTATION, SO THIS HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY VETTED AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS, SO I DON'T WANT IT TO SEEM LIKE WE'RE UP HERE AND VERY LIKE, YOU KNOW, NOT RESPONDING.

QUESTION TO WAIT UNTIL THE END.

IS THAT WHAT YOU PREFER? UH, CHRIST.

WHY DON'T YOU ASK IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, THEN WE CAN KEEP IT GOING.

SO JUST SO, SO, SO BACKSTORY FOR THE PUBLIC TOO.

UM, THIS

[01:00:01]

BUT ONE THING I REMEMBER THAT I HAD BROUGHT UP, I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT WHAT I HAD BROUGHT UP DURING THE STUDY SESSION THAT WE HAD, IF YOU CAN GO TO THE SLIDE THAT HAD THE TREE REMOVAL, JUST BECAUSE AT FIRST GLANCE, IF SOMEONE'S LOOKING AT THIS AND IT SAYS TREE REMOVAL PERMIT OTHER $4,000, YOU'RE LIKE, WHAT? SO CAN ONE OF YOU, YOU OR NICK ELABORATE ON WHAT THAT IS SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND? CERTAINLY.

SO, UH, CURRENTLY WE HAVE IN OUR FEE STRUCTURE FOR IF, UM, SOMEONE IS, UH, GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REMOVING A PROTECTED TREE FROM THEIR YARD FOR, UM, FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES LIKE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

BUT WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IS FOR PROPERTIES WHERE YOU HAVE A LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT, LIKE A TRACT OR, OR COMMERCIAL, UH, DEVELOPMENT OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND SO WHAT THIS FEE IS, THIS IS AN ACTUAL COST FEE.

SO THIS IS A, A DEPOSIT THAT WOULD BE PAID, ESSENTIALLY PAYS FOR STAFF TIME TO PROCESS THE PERMIT AND FOREIGN ARBORIST, UH, CITY ARBORIST TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED REMOVAL OF JUST THOSE PROTECTED TREES.

SO THOSE ARE THE VERY LARGE, LIKE THE HERITAGE TREES WE CALL 'EM.

AND THEN THE NATIVE TREES.

SO SYCAMORE, OAK, UM, AND BLACK WALNUT.

AND SO THIS, THIS PROVIDES A FEE STRUCTURE FOR US FOR THOSE, UM, KIND OF OUT OF THE ORDINARY OR LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT PERMITS THAT WE WOULD PROCESS.

NOT IF I WANT TO REMOVE THE TREE IN MY OWN YARD.

IN THE BACKYARD.

NO, NO, BECAUSE, UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE NON-NATIVE AND NON PROTECTIVE TREES IN THEIR COMMUNITY LANDSCAPE, INCLUDING HOAS.

UM, THE, NONE OF THOSE REQUIRE PERMITS.

IT'S THE HERITAGE TREES AND THE NATIVE TREES.

THANKS NICK.

THAT'S ALL.

HAVE ART.

ALRIGHT, ANYBODY ELSE? ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT? WE COMPLETE YOUR OKAY.

PRESENTATION.

UM, SO AT THE WORKSHOP WE ALSO WENT OVER THE MORE SIGNIFICANT PROPOSED FEE INCREASES, THOSE THAT ARE OVER $10 AND 7%.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN OF THOSE FEES BY DIVISION.

AND SINCE WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED THEM AT THE WORKSHOP, I'LL JUST SHOW THEM BRIEFLY FOR THE AUDIENCE.

THE SIGN REMOVAL FEE IS PROPOSED TO INCREASE BY $31 AND THE REINSPECTION FEE BY $203.

UH, POLICE HAS TWO PENALTIES INCREASING BY 15 AND $20.

UH, THE INCREASE FOR THESE FOUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICE FEES RANGE FROM $408 TO 416.

AND THESE FOUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICE FEES ARE INCREASING BY AMOUNTS RANGING FROM 410 TO 944.

THE INCREASES FOR THE SIX FEES IN UTILITY BILLING RANGE FROM $15 TO 186.

AND LASTLY, WE HAVE SIX WATER METER INSTALLATION FEES INCREASING BY AMOUNTS RANGING FROM $39 TO 170.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PROPOSED FEES AND FEE REVISIONS WITH AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF JANUARY 1ST, 2026.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, AND YOU CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

YOU MAY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY YOUR, ALL RIGHT.

I'M GONNA O OFFICIALLY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE REQUESTING TO SPEAK? WE DO NOT FOR THIS ITEM.

I WILL VERBALLY, UH, ACKNOWLEDGE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE.

SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, BRING IT BACK UP FOR, UH, COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL.

MR. MAYOR, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

OKAY, KRISTA, BASICALLY, UM, I'M INVOLVED WITH SCAG QUITE A BIT.

I KNOW HOUSING'S REAL IMPORTANT AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF, UH, UM, THERE'S A NEED FOR HOUSING AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE EVERY YEAR GETS MORE AND MORE EXPENSIVE TO BE ABLE TO, TO BUY.

AND I KNOW WE'RE ADDING SOME OF THESE FEES FOR HOUSING AS AN EXAMPLE FROM WHAT THE FEES WERE BEFORE AND WHAT THEY ARE TODAY.

WHAT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PERCENTAGE IS THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE INCREASED FOR HOUSING? THE ONES THAT I SHOWED ON THE SLIDE WERE THE LARGEST INCREASES AND SOME OF 'EM THEY'RE AT LEAST 7% INCREASE.

THE ONES THAT JUST HOW AT LEAST A 7% INCREASE THE ONES ON THE SLIDE.

REASONS THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN APPROVED AS OF YET.

I THOUGHT THERE WERE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.

UM, I WANNA ASK YOU A QUESTION.

I DUNNO IF I SHOULD ASK THE ATTORNEY, ANYBODY THAT'S IN THE QUEUE.

UM, I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOME DEVELOPERS, AND AGAIN, WE WANT TO BE GENERIC.

SO ANY DEVELOPER THAT'S IN THE QUEUE, UM, JANUARY 1ST, WILL THEY BE INCREASED? SAY THEY'VE BEEN IN THE QUEUE FOR, WE'LL SAY FOUR YEARS, FIVE YEARS AND IT JUST HASN'T HAPPENED.

WE'LL SAY THE ARMY CORPS OR ENVIRONMENTAL

[01:05:01]

UM, I THINK THE DIFFERENT, THIS IS COUNCIL MEMBER MARCUS, TO CLARIFY SOMETHING FOR YOU.

THIS IS DIFFERENT.

IS THIS FOR DIFF UH, WE HAVEN'T MOVED ON TO DIFF WE'VE TAKEN TWO SEPARATE, UH, ACTIONS WANNA GET WARMED UP FOR DIFF UH, YES, THESE ARE, UH, OUR, ARE OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FEES.

UH, THE NEXT ITEM WILL ACTUALLY BE FOR THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT RELATED FEES.

I KNOW WE'VE GOT SOME INTEREST ON THIS ONE THIS EVENING.

BECAUSE I WOULD LOOKED AT THE HOUSING PLAN AND I WAS JUST SORT OF CONCERNED ON THAT.

SO THE HOUSING PLAN, WHAT HAS THAT GONE UP PERCENTAGE WISE? SO THE, UM, HOUSING PLAN APPROVAL IS A NEW APPLICATION TYPE.

SO, UM, UNDER THE CHANGES TO STATE LAW FROM THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION, UH, THE CITY, UM, UPDATED ITS ZONING TO BE CONSISTENT, UM, WITH OUR HOUSING ELEMENT.

AND WE HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR A, UM, COMPLETELY MINISTERIAL APPLICATION APPROVAL FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS THAT PROVIDE 20% OR MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

AND SO THROUGH OUR UPDATED ZONING CODE, WE CREATED AN APPLICATION TYPE CALLED A HOUSING PLAN APPROVAL.

SO IT'S, IT'S BRAND NEW.

THE, THE COST, UM, TO PROCESS THAT AGAIN, IS A ACTUAL COST APPLICATION.

SO IT'S A DEPOSIT AMOUNT AND WE WILL BILL STAFF TIME AGAINST IT.

IT'S THE SAME EXACT AMOUNT AS A TRACKED DESIGN REVIEW.

SO, UM, WE'RE LOOKING AT IT AS AN EQUIVALENT AMOUNT OF STAFF TIME, WHETHER IT'S A STREAMLINED MINISTERIAL APPLICATION OR IT'S A APPLICATION THAT GOES TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

AND THEN IF WE GET THOSE, UM, APPLICATION TYPES IN THE FUTURE AND WE FIND AS WE PROCESS THEM THAT OUR DEPOSITS A LITTLE HIGH, WE CAN THEN GO BACK AND REDUCE THE INITIAL DEPOSIT.

BUT IT'S A, IT'S GONE FROM ZERO TO A HUNDRED BECAUSE IT'S A BRAND NEW APPLICATION TYPE.

THANK YOU NICK.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

NO, THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'M JUST GONNA MAKE A QUICK COMMENT.

UM, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK ANY OF US LIKE THE IDEA OF INCREASING FEES, BUT TRULY THIS COMES DOWN TO JUST MATH, COMES DOWN TO STAFF TIME.

IT COMES DOWN TO US DOING THE WORK.

WE'RE NOT GETTING, YOU KNOW, THE CITY'S NOT GETTING WEALTHY OFF OF THIS.

THIS IS TRULY KEEPING UP COVERING THE COST OF PROVIDING THE SERVICE.

YOU KNOW, TO THE QUESTION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HERITAGE TREES AND WHATNOT.

IT'S TRULY JUST STAFF WORK AND CONSULTANTS WORK TO, TO MAKE SURE WE DO IT.

SO WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT LIVING HIGH ON THE HOG ON THIS.

IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE JUST, WE JUST NEED TO COVER THE COST.

SO WITH THAT, UNLESS ANYBODY ELSE HAD ANYTHING ELSE, I'LL MOVE THE ITEM.

ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A SECOND.

SECOND.

ALRIGHT, WE GOT THOSE.

[16. Introduce Ordinances updating various facilities fees, adopting a Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and adding park dedications and fees entitled: “An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Amending Chapter 3.40 (Various Facilities Fees) of the Chino Hills Municipal Code, Repealing Resolution No. 2017R-012, Adopting a Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Including a Capital Improvement Plan, Adopting New Fire Facilities Fees and Increased General City Facilities, Traffic Facilities Impact, and Parks and Recreation Facilities Fees and Finding the Same to be Exempt From the Provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act”; and "An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Repealing Ordinance No. 66, Repealing Chino Hills Municipal Code (CHMC) Chapter 16.86, Adding Article 14 (Park Dedications and Fees) Authorized by the Quimby Act to Chapter 4 of Appendix D of the CHMC, and Finding the Same to be Exempt From the Provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act” for first reading by titles only and waive further reading; and adopt resolution adjusting Quimby In-Lieu Fee pursuant to Section 83.041420, Appendix A of the Chino Hills Municipal Code and finding same to be exempt from California Environmental Quality Act]

I'LL LET YOU CHERYL, READ THE PERTINENT PORTIONS YES.

OF THE, UH, AGENDA ITEM.

THE EXISTING INVENTORY METHOD.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO READ ALL OF IT.

NO, BUT WHATEVER YOU CAN CONDENSE IT TO.

SO THIS ITEM IS TO INTRODUCE ORDINANCES, UPDATING VARIOUS FACILITIES FEES, ADOPTING A DEVELOPMENT IMPACT NEXUS STU FEE NEXUS STUDY AND ADDING PARK DEDICATIONS AND FEES AND ADOPTING A RESOLUTION, ADJUSTING THE QUIMBEE IN LIEU FEE.

THIS WILL BE PRESENTED BY FINANCE DIRECTOR BAHA.

ALRIGHT, SO WHO IS GOING TO MAKE OUR PRESENTATION ON THIS? ME AGAIN, AGAIN, KRISTA.

ALRIGHT, GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

UM, ON AT THE SAME WORKSHOP THAT I PREVIOUSLY TALKED ABOUT ON OCTOBER 20, UH, OCTOBER 14TH, UM, WE HELD A WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS IN DETAIL THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY UPDATE, WHICH LOOKS AT HOW WE FUND THE PUBLIC FACILITIES NEEDED TO SUPPORT GROWTH THROUGH 2045.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO ENSURE THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT IN CHINO HILLS PAYS ITS FAIR SHARE OF THE FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED TO SUPPORT IT.

THIS PRO THIS PROTECTS OUR EXISTING RESIDENTS FROM SHOULDERING THE COST OF GROWTH.

THE STUDY THAT WAS PREPARED BY WILLAN FINANCIAL SERVICES EVALUATES FOUR MAJOR CATEGORIES OF FACILITIES, GENERAL CITY FACILITIES, TRAFFIC FACILITIES, PARKS AND RECREATION, AND QUIMBEE AND LOU AND FIRE FACILITIES.

TO CALCULATE THE FEES THE STUDY USES UPDATED GROWTH FORECAST THROUGH 2045.

OVER THIS PERIOD, WE EXPECT ROUGHLY 13,600 NEW RESIDENTS ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL AND EMPLOYMENT GROWTH.

THIS TABLE SHOWS THE INTENSITY OF LAND USE REPRESENTED IN TERMS OF PEOPLE BASED ON THIS PROJECTED GROWTH.

THE STUDY IDENTIFIES THE CITY'S FACILITY NEEDS AND DETERMINES THE MAXIMUM FEES THAT ARE LEGALLY DEFENSIBLE UNDER STATE LAW, THE STUDY USES TWO COMMON METHODS OF DETERMINING NEW DEVELOPMENTS.

FAIR SHARE OF PLAN FACILITIES COST, THE PLAN FACILITIES METHOD, AND

[01:10:01]

THE PLAN FACILITIES METHOD LOOKS AT THE COST OF NEW FACILITIES BEING PLANNED AND DIVIDES IT BY THE DEMAND FROM NEW DEVELOPMENT.

THE EXISTING INVENTORY METHOD LOOKS AT THE FACILITIES THE CITY ALREADY HAS AND DIVIDES THEIR VALUE BY THE DEMAND FROM EXISTING DEVELOPMENT.

THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THEN PAYS ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT EXISTING RESIDENTS CURRENTLY ENJOY.

I'LL BE SHOWING YOU SOME FEE COMPARISONS USING TOTAL FEES BECAUSE OUR CURRENT FEES ARE BASED ON AN AVERAGE COST PER DWELLING UNIT.

WITH THIS UPDATE, RESIDENTIAL FEES ARE CHANGING TO A PER SQUARE FOOT BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 6 0 2.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE LIST OF PLANNED TRAFFIC FACILITIES NEEDED TO SERVE NEW DEVELOPMENT.

THE PROJECTS ARE BASED ON THE CITY'S APRIL, 2024 TRAFFIC STUDY, WHICH WAS CONDUCTED AS PART OF THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE LIST OF PLANNED GENERAL CITY FACILITIES AND FIRE FACILITIES, ALONG WITH SHOWING THE PARKS IS EXISTING STANDARD OF 4.1 ACRES PER THOUSAND RESIDENTS.

I'LL TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY MANAGER TO FURTHER EXPLAIN WHY WE'RE PROPOSING A NEW FIRE FACILITIES FEE.

THANK YOU KRISTA.

UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AND FOR THE PUBLIC, UH, WE JUST WANTED TO PAUSE ON THE FIRE FACILITIES FEE BECAUSE THERE WAS, UH, DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS FROM THE, UH, COUNCIL DURING OUR WORKSHOP RELATED TO THE FIRE, UH, THIS NEW FIRE FACILITIES FEE.

UH, AND I THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO POINT OUT THAT, UH, WE ARE CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTING, AND BY WE, I MEAN THE FIRE DISTRICT IS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTING A NEW FIRE STATION 68, UH, PART OF THAT AGREEMENT THAT BROUGHT THAT STATION INCLUDED A CONTRIBUTION FROM THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS OF $8 MILLION TOWARD THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT FACILITY.

UH, WHEN WE NEGOTIATED THAT AGREEMENT TO MAKE THAT PAYMENT, UH, THERE WAS A, A COMPONENT OF LAND THAT WAS CONTRIBUTED BY THE CITY.

UH, THERE WAS ALSO A, A PIECE OF LAND THAT THE CITY RECEIVED, BUT ONE OF THE OTHER PROVISIONS IN THAT AGREEMENT WAS TO BRING TO THE CITY COUNCIL A SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE FOR FIRE FACILITIES.

BECAUSE IN THE PAST, THE COUNCIL HAS ELECTED TO, UH, USE OTHER FUNDS TO SUPPORT FIRE ACTIVITY.

AND SO RATHER THAN USING, UH, EITHER CFDS OR GENERAL FI, GENERAL CITY FACILITY FEES THAT COULD GO TO OTHER PURPOSES IN THE CITY, WE WANTED TO BRING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS FIRE DIFF OR FIRE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE, UH, AS A VERY SPECIFIC, UH, UH, ASSESSMENT TO NEW DEVELOPMENT FOR FIRE PURPOSES.

AND SO WHAT THIS FEE WOULD PAY FOR ARE THE, UH, VARIOUS, UH, UH, EQUIPMENT AND POTENTIAL STRUCTURES LISTED HERE.

UH, BUT IT ALSO, UH, RECOVERS SOME OF THE, UH, $8 MILLION THAT WAS, UH, UH, APPROPRIATED FOR THE FIRE, UH, STATION 68.

SO JUST TO PUT IT IN THE CONTEXT FOR THE RESIDENTS, AND I KNOW THE COUNCIL HAD QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS, BUT SINCE THAT'S A NEW FEE, WE JUST WANTED TO TAKE A PAUSE TO POINT OUT THAT, UH, SPECIFIC FEE, UH, AS WE RUN THROUGH, UH, EVERYTHING MORE QUICKLY.

THAT HAPPENED AT THE, UH, AT THE WORKSHOP.

OKAY, KRISTA? OKAY.

GOT A QUESTION IF I COULD.

OH YEAH.

GOING BACK TO FIRE FACILITY, UM, OUR LCO AGREEMENT, WHEN WE BECAME BECAME A CITY, WE WERE OBLIGATED TO PAY MONIES THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY TO THE FIRE DISTRICT.

IS THAT CORRECT? ANY MONIES THAT WERE GENERATED FROM THE COUNTY? YES, THE FIRE FACILITY.

SO THE, UH, UH, BEFORE WE BECAME A CITY, THE COUNTY WAS COLLECTING, UH, FUNDS MUCH LIKE WE'RE DISCUSSING TONIGHT, UH, TO BENEFIT, UH, THE FIRE, UH, FUNCTION, I'LL CALL IT.

UH, WE HAD AN EXISTING FIRE DISTRICT.

SO WHEN THE CITY BECAME A CITY, ANY DOLLARS THAT THE COUNTY HAD COLLECTED FOR THAT PURPOSE, UH, THE CITY WAS REQUIRED TO USE IT FOR THAT PURPOSE.

BUT I THINK THE DISTINCTION THAT COUNCIL BIER MARQUEZ AND THE COUNCIL HAVE MADE OVER THE YEARS IS THE CONTRIBUTION THAT THE CITY HAS MADE HAS EXCEEDED THAT ORIGINAL COLLECTION FROM THE, THE FIRE, UH, UH, DEPARTMENT.

SO BASED ON OUR INTERPRETATION OF THE LAFCO DOCUMENTS, UH, WE HAVE MET THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

UH, THE COUNCIL MAY ELECT TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT FIRE, UH, ACTIVITIES, BUT THIS IS A NEW MECHANISM TO PAY FOR THAT.

I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT WE'RE DOING THE DIFF PROGRAM.

I THINK IT'S GREAT.

BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION PERTAINING TO FIRE FACILITIES.

HOW, HOW DID WE GET INTO FIRE APPARATUS, LIKE AN ENGINE AND A TRUCK? HOW IS THAT CONSIDERED FIRE FACILITIES? AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION BACK TO THIS, IS THIS, IF THEY DO GET A FIRETRUCK AND A LADDER TRUCK, DOES IT HAVE TO STAY IN CHINO HILLS OR CAN THEY USE THIS MONEY FOR SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THAT'S LIKE IN CHINO WHERE THE, WHERE IN THE COUNTY AREA.

SO I'M GONNA DEFER TO KRISTA WHO HAD THE DIRECT CONVERSATIONS

[01:15:01]

WITH FIRE RELATED TO THIS.

BUT, UH, IN ADDITION TO FACILITIES APPARATUS, UH, OUR COVER OR KRISTA, ARE YOU PUNTING TO, UH, NICK.

RECALLING MEMORIES.

? YEAH, SORRY.

UM, SO THE FIRST TWO, THE FIRE APPARATUS AND THE FIRE STATION 68 AND THE ESSENTIAL RESOURCE FACILITY, THAT'S THE NEW STATION THAT THEY'RE BUILDING AND WHAT THEY NEED AT THAT NEW STATION, THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT HAD BEEN INCLUDED, BUT THEY ALREADY PURCHASED THAT.

SO THAT WAS REMOVED.

SO THIS IS FOR THAT ONE, WHICH IS TO BENEFIT NEW GROWTH.

AND THEN THE LADDER TRUCK WOULD BE NEEDED IF DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS OVER HERE IN THE SHOPS TOO.

IF A MULTILEVEL, I DON'T KNOW HOW HIGH, BUT, UM, IT WOULD BE NEEDED TO FACILITATE THAT.

SO THAT MIGHT BE ON THEM.

I DON'T, THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO RECALL.

IF THEY SAID IT WOULD STAY HERE, BUT IT WOULD BE TO, I JUST WANT CLARIFICATION.

SO DIP MONEY CAN BE USED FOR APPARATUS, IT'S NOT FOR A FACILITY.

SO IT CAN BE USED FOR FOR APPARATUS? YES.

DOES IT, DOES IT HAVE TO STAY IN THE CITY? IT NEEDS TO BE FOR THE CITY PURPOSE.

LIKE THAT'S WHY THEY'RE PURCHASING IT.

WELL, THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR THE DISTRICT.

BUT LIVE, MY, MY ANSWER TO THAT WOULD BE YES.

NOW WITH THAT ANSWER, UM, OFTEN WHEN THERE ARE CALLS, UM, YOU KNOW, THEIR EQUIPMENT FROM CHINO MAY COME OVER HERE TO ASSIST US FROM MUTUAL AID.

A MUTUAL AID AND WHATNOT.

BUT OTHERWISE, YEAH, IF THEY'RE TAKING MONEY FROM CITY DEVELOPERS, THEN YES, THAT EQUIPMENT NEEDS TO BE PRIMARILY IN THE CITY EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT WAS OUT ON MUTUAL AID, BECAUSE I DID LOOK AT THE AGREEMENT AND THAT'S NOT SPECIFIED.

SO IF WE CAN SORT OF TIGHTEN THAT UP IN THE, THE FUTURE, I'D APPRECIATE THAT.

TO CLARIFY, I THINK WHAT, WHAT I'M HEARING IS YOU WANNA MAKE SURE THAT ANY EQUIPMENT IS LOCATED AT A FIRE STATION IN CHINO HILLS, RECOGNIZING THAT IT MAY BE DEPLOYED WITHIN THE, THE REGION, BUT ASK RICHARD LATE.

SO THAT'S PERFECT.

YEAH, WE'LL MAKE THAT DISTINCTION.

I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

UM, YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD THE AD HOC COMMITTEE WHEN WE WERE NEGOTIATING FOR THE FIRE STATION? MM-HMM .

WAS IT PETER AND YOU RAY? YEAH.

I THINK THAT AS FAR AS IT GOES WITH UNDER THIS, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW, DO YOU THINK THAT THAT AD HOC COMMITTEE SHOULD RECONVENE WITH FIRE THERE? IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S STILL A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS IN GRAY AREAS ABOUT FUNDING.

AT LEAST THAT'S HOW I'M SEEING IT.

IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO CLARIFY THIS.

IT WOULD FOR FUTURE.

'CAUSE RIGHT NOW MOVING FORWARD, WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH 68.

WE GOT THROUGH THE, YOU KNOW, THIS UH, YOU KNOW, THE FIRE, NEW FIRE STATION.

BUT MOVING FORWARD THERE'S, I THINK THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CLARIFIED THAT MAYBE IF THE AD HOC MEETS WITH THEIR AD HOC AND JUST TO WITH THE CITY MANAGER CHIEF, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW THE PROPOSED FEES WILL AFFECT REAL PROJECTS, WE'VE PREPARED SOME COMPARISON CALCULATIONS USING RECENT BUILDING PERMITS.

THIS EXAMPLE USES A BUILDING PERMIT FOR A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION IN SHADY VIEW.

THE PERMIT SHOWS AN $18,425 INCREASE, LARGELY DUE TO THE RISE IN THE MB AND LOUIE, WHICH HAS NOT INCREASED SINCE 1998.

KRISTA TO THAT POINT, UM, WHY DID IT TAKE US SO LONG TO RAISE THESE? 'CAUSE IT'S A LOT TO JUST DUMP AT ONE TIME.

IF WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, US BACKFILLING, LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS, WHY IS THIS JUST NOW COMING UP? IT, SO AS FAR AS BEFORE I GOT HERE, I DO NOT OH, OKAY.

CONVENIENT.

BUT NO, BUT I, I CAME IN WHEN THEY WERE ALREADY UNDERWAY WITH THE LAST STUDY AND IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT QUIMBEE.

SO I DID MAKE SURE IT GOT INCLUDED IN THIS ONE SO IT WOULD GET ADDRESSED.

AND THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE COMPARISON FOR A DETACHED A DU, WHICH REFLECTS A $432 DECREASE.

AND WHEN'S THE LAST TIME THAT WE ADDRESSED QUIMBEE FEES? 1998.

1998.

COOL.

I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT'S AWESOME.

THAT'S FOR YOU MARYANNE PERCENTAGE? THE PERCENTAGE OF INCREASE TO ME IS NOT A FACTOR.

IT'S HOW WE COMPARE WITH OTHER LOCAL CITIES.

IT TO ME IS MORE OF A FACTOR THAN THE PERCENTAGE OF INCREASE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN ALMOST 20 YEARS.

ALRIGHT, GOOD TO KNOW.

ALRIGHT, MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

ALRIGHT, UH, THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE COMPARISON FOR A NEW CUSTOM HOME, WHICH REFLECTS A $16,857 INCREASE WITH A LARGE PART OF THE INCREASE COMING FROM THE PARKS AND REC FEE INCREASE.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS A COMPARISON OF A COMMERCIAL SINGLE TENANT BUILDING, WHICH REFLECTS A $23,965 INCREASE WITH A LARGE PART OF THE INCREASE COMING FROM THE TRAFFIC FEE INCREASE.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS A COMPARISON OF A 28 UNIT MULTIFAMILY SUBDIVISION, WHICH REFLECTS A $17,600 INCREASE.

[01:20:03]

SO PART OF THE WORK, UH, WILL THEN COLLECTED DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE SCHEDULES FROM BREA, CHINO, ONTARIO, AND MONTCLAIR, AND CALCULATED THE FEES FOR FIVE PROTOTYPE PROJECTS.

SOME OF THE CITIES CHARGE IMPACT FEES THAT VARY BY LOCATION.

SO THE TABLE RANGES SHOW, UM, THE RANGE OF POTENTIAL IMPACT FEES.

SO SOME HAVE A LOW AND A HIGH DEPENDING ON WHERE IN THE CITY.

UH, THE FIRST EXAMPLE HERE IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AT 4,086 SQUARE FEET.

THE YELLOW BAR REFLECTS OUR CURRENT FEES AND THE GREEN BAR REFLECTS OUR THE PROPOSED FEES.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS A 20 MULTIFAMILY UNIT, UM, TOTALING 24,980 SQUARE FEET.

ONCE AGAIN, YELLOW IS THE CURRENT AND GREEN ARE THE PROPOSED FEES.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS A COMMERCIAL RETAIL UNIT AT 950 SQUARE FEET.

AND THIS SLIDE SHOWS A BUSINESS PARK AT 50,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND LASTLY, THIS SHOT, THIS SLIDE SHOWS AN INDUSTRIAL HIGHQ WAREHOUSE AT 100,000 SQUARE FEET.

SO TO IMPLEMENT THE STUDY, UM, THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE CHANGES WE'RE PROPOSING TO CHAPTER 3.4 OF THE CHINO HOUSE MUNICIPAL CODE.

WE UPDATED DEFINITIONS TO REFERENCE THE 2025 NEXUS STUDY AND ANY FEE RELATED TERMS ADDED A SECTION ESTABLISHING THE FIRE FACILITIES FEE, RENAMED THE TRAFFIC SECTION TO THE TRAFFIC FACILITIES IMPACT FEE.

CLARIFIED THAT NON-RESIDENTIAL NEW CONSTRUCTION WILL BE CHARGED ON A PER THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT BASIS.

AND CLARIFIED THAT RESIDENTIAL NEW CONSTRUCTION WILL BE CHARGED ON A SQUARE FOOT BASIS REQUIRED BY AB 6 0 2.

WE ALSO ADDED LANGUAGE EXPLAINING HOW ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS WILL BE CHARGED.

UPDATED TABLE ONE TO REFLECT THE PROPOSED FEES AND THE MOST RECENT CPI ADJUSTMENT RATES FOR OTHER FEES.

WE REVISED THE SECTION SPECIFYING WHEN FEES ARE DUE AND REMOVE THE PARKS AND RECREATION B CREDIT SECTION.

THIS SLIDE SUMMARIZES THE PROPOSED QUIMBEE RELATED CHANGES TO THE CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE.

WE REMOVE THE LOS SERRANOS AREA EXEMPTION, REMOVE THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION FROM THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS.

REMOVE THE CHINO HILL SPECIFIC PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING REFERENCE, ADDED THE IN ADDED IN THE CREDIT FOR CONSTRUCTING FACILITIES CONSISTENT WITH, UH, CHINO HILL'S MUNICIPAL CODE 3.40 0.180 AND INCREASE THE ALLOWABLE CREDIT FOR PRIVATE FACILITIES FROM 25 TO 50%.

WITH ALL THAT IN MIND, I'VE LISTED SOME POTENTIAL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES FEE AND THE QUIMBEE AND LOU FEES.

AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR NICK, TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL.

SO THE, UH, COUNCILS RECEIVED SEVERAL LETTERS, UM, FROM, UH, BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS, UH, LENNAR AND WARMINGTON HOMES, UH, REQUESTING A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT ITEMS. UM, ONE, UH, WOULD BE TO, UH, GRANDFATHER ALL PROJECTS WHERE THERE'S A CURRENT APPROVED TENTATIVE MAP.

UM, AS LONG AS THAT TENTATIVE MAP IS FINALED BY, UM, NOVEMBER 1ST, 2028.

UH, THE SECOND REQUEST WAS TO PHASE IN THE, UM, PARK AND QUIMBEE AND LOU FEES OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD.

SO THE FIRST YEAR WOULD BE 25% THE INCREASE, THEN 50, THEN 75 WORKING UP TO, UM, THE A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE FEE, UM, IN JANUARY FOR IMPLEMENTED JANUARY 1ST, 2029.

UH, SO SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER, UM, WHEN, WHEN LOOKING THAT IS THAT THE CITY DOES HAVE 44 PARKS.

UM, THE, UH, QUIMBEE FEES, UM, CAN BE USED TO BUILD NEW PARKS.

UM, THEY CAN ALSO BE USED FOR, UM, EXTENSIVE REHABILITATION OF PARKS THAT SERVE THE SUBDIVISIONS, UM, WHERE THE FEE IS PAID.

AND, UM, A LOT, A GOOD CHUNK OF OUR NEW DEVELOPMENT IS IN AREAS, UH, WHERE THERE IS VACANT LAND THAT'S BEEN ZONED FOR DEVELOPMENT SINCE BEFORE INCORPORATION.

UH, BUT IT JUST HAS NEVER DEVELOPED.

BUT THERE'S OTHER ADJACENT PROPERTIES THAT ARE DEVELOPED AND THERE ARE PARKS

[01:25:01]

ADJACENT TO THEM.

SO THERE ARE, UM, EXPENSES THAT THE CITY IS GOING TO HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO MAINTAINING OUR PARKS GOING INTO THE FUTURE.

UH, ADDITIONALLY THE, UH, STUDY IS BASED UPON THE EXISTING STANDARD.

SO AS WE ADD POPULATION TO THE CITY, THE WAY THE FEE IS CALCULATED IS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE SAME LEVEL OF PARK AMENITY AND PARK SERVICE TO THE NEW RESIDENTS AS THE EXISTING RESIDENTS ENJOY.

AND SO THAT ACCOUNTS FOR A CHUNK OF THE FEE BECAUSE IT'S BASED UPON CURRENT LAND VALUES AND CURRENT CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

SO, UM, GRANDFATHERING THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE AN APPROVED TENTATIVE MAP, UM, THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE REAL COSTS, RIGHT? THAT THAT'S LOST REVENUE TO THE CITY, UM, THAT WOULD NOT BE GOING INTO THE PROGRAM TO PAY FOR THOSE, UH, FUTURE PARK IMPROVEMENTS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THOSE PIECES ARE ARE BUILT OUT.

AND THEN, UM, PHASING, AGAIN, PHASING GIVES US A PORTION OF THE REVENUE, BUT, UM, AS THOSE PROJECTS ARE BUILT, WE ARE, WE'RE STILL LOSING THE FULL AMOUNT OF REVENUE.

AND SO THOSE DOLLARS, UM, THAT ARE NEEDED TO BUILD THOSE FUTURE FACILITIES HAVE TO COME FROM OTHER SOURCES.

THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO COME FROM THE, UM, PARK FUND.

UM, BUT THEY MIGHT HAVE TO COME FROM CFDS OR FROM FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO, TO OFFSET THAT.

WELL, JUST WITH WHAT NICK'S SAYING RIGHT NOW.

SO I WAS WONDERING LIKE, SO SPECIFICALLY THOUGH, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE, UM, THE GRANDFATHERING, BUT WHAT WOULD THE SPECIFICALLY, WHAT, LIKE WHAT WOULD THE FINANCIAL IMPACT BE WITH THE CURRENT UNITS THAT WE QUALIFY FOR GRANDFATHERING? WELL, UM, SO KRISTEN AND I HAVE WORKED ON, UH, SOME ESTIMATES, UM, WE, WE'D UH, WE'D HAVE TO REALLY CRUNCH SOME NUMBERS AND SOME OF THESE ARE BASED UPON WHAT WE THINK THE TIMING IS OF PROJECTS.

BUT IN TERMS OF THE GRANDFATHERING, WE'RE BASED UPON THE EXISTING TENTATIVE MAPS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED, UH, BY PLANNING COMMISSIONER COUNCIL AS OF THIS DATE.

ASSUMING THAT THEY ALL GET FINALED BY THE PROPOSED, UH, NOVEMBER 1ST, 2028 DEADLINE, WE'D BE LOOKING AT A BETWEEN EIGHT AND $9 MILLION, UM, THAT WE WOULD BE GIVING UP IN FEE COLLECTION IF WE WERE TO JUST CONTINUE COLLECTING THE CURRENT FEE VERSUS, UM, THE NEW FEE.

WHY DID WE DECIDE ON 2028? UH, THAT'S THE PROPOSAL THAT, UH, BIA PUT FORWARD.

ALRIGHT, GOTCHA.

WHEN THEY PUSHED IT OUT FOUR YEARS.

GOTCHA.

THREE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR STAFF? THIS IS GONNA BE A PUBLIC HEARING, RIGHT? YES IT IS.

THAT WE MADE TO THE FIRE STATION.

SO, UH, IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF NOT DONE, OKAY.

SORRY.

JUST THE RECOMMENDATION.

, UH, SO TONIGHT, UM, WE ASK THAT YOU CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND TAKE PUBLIC TESTIMONY AND ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHINO HILL'S MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 3.40.

REPEALING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2017 R 20 OR 12, ADOPTING THE DIFF NEXUS STUDY, INCLUDING A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, UH, ADOPTING A NEW FIRE FACILITIES FEE AND INCREASED GENERAL CITY FACILITIES, TRAFFIC FACILITIES IMPACT AND PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES FEES, ADOPT AN ORDINANCE APPEALING ORDINANCE NUMBER 66, REPEALING TUNA HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 16.86 AND ADDING ARTICLE 14 PARK DEDICATIONS AND FEES AUTHORIZED BY THE QUIMBEE ACT TO CHAPTER FOUR OF APPENDIX D OF THE CHINOS MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION, ADJUSTING THE QUIMBEE AND LIE FEE ALONG WITH, UM, PROVIDING STAFF WITH DIRECTION ON IF THEY WANT TO ENTERTAIN ANY GRANDFATHERING OR PHASING TO BRING BACK AT A FUTURE MEETING.

ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE, JUST GOT A QUESTION.

I KNOW THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT FOR THE, UM, STATION 68, I GUESS WAS SIGNED IN 2021, IF I'M MISTAKEN.

SO I GUESS EVERY YEAR WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT MONEY ASIDE FOR THE DIFF DO WE KNOW WHAT'S IN THAT ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW OR WOULD YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION? IT'S, UM, THE, TALKING ABOUT THE GENERAL CITY FACILITIES FUND THAT WE PAID SPECIFICALLY FOR THE FIRE STATION.

THE FIRE STATION, IT'S ABOUT A MILLION DOLLAR NEGATIVE RIGHT NOW.

WE STILL HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE NEED TO CAPTURE FROM DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES TO PAY BACK THE FUND FOR THAT PAYMENT

[01:30:01]

SOUNDS GOOD.

AND, UM, I ALSO JUST WANNA SAY THAT WE ALSO HAVE, UM, OUR CONSULTANTS FROM DEN IN THE AUDIENCE, UM, CARLOS AL AND JAMES EDISON, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM.

ANY QUESTIONS OF THEM AT THIS POINT? ALRIGHT, SAME.

NO OTHER QUESTIONS OF THIS, OF THE COUNSEL.

I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND OFFICIALLY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, UH, CHERYL? YES.

REQUEST TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER.

WE HAVE TWO SPEAKERS.

THE FIRST SPEAKER IS JEFF SMITH.

GOOD EVENING, CARLOS.

UH, GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

HONORABLE COUNSEL.

I'M NOT JEFF SMITH, BUT HE'S A MEMBER, OUR BOARD BOARD DIRECTOR.

SO IF IT WOULD BE OKAY, I WAS GONNA SAY YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT AND I, I I THE CLOCK FOR A MOMENT, UH, MAYOR, SO THAT I CAN, UH, JUST GO FOR IT.

ASK IF I CAN COMMENT FIRST.

WOULD THAT BE OKAY? ANY ISSUES WITH THAT? NO, I CAN HAVE HIM GO FIRST.

ALRIGHT, GO RIGHT AGAIN.

SO, CARLOS RODRIGUEZ, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UH, CARLOS RODRIGUEZ, CHIEF POLICY OFFICER, UH, WITH THE BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

UH, WE FULLY RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING HIGH QUALITY PARKS AND RECREATIONAL SPACES FOR, UH, BOTH CURRENT AND FUTURE RESIDENTS.

HOWEVER, WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST EITHER, UH, A CONTINUANCE TODAY ON THE PARK FEE ONLY, UH, TO ALLOW, UH, TIME TO, UH, DISCUSS THE, UH, IMPLICATIONS OF OUR, UH, REQUEST FOR AN EXEMPTION AND A PHASE IN AS WELL AS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ASSUMPTIONS OF THE EIGHT TO $9 MILLION, UH, NUMBER THAT WAS JUST HIGHLIGHTED WITHOUT REALLY ANY DETAILS OF THE ASSUMPTIONS ON, UH, THE SIZE OF THE HOMES, HOW MANY HOMES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO JUST THAT ALONE, WE, WE WOULD SAY WOULD MERIT, UH, MOVING FORWARD WITH ALL THE OTHER FEES THAT WE HAVE NO OTHER COMMENT ON, UH, TO, TO, TO CATCH UP WITH THE NEEDS THAT YOU HAVE ON USER FEES EARLIER AND ON THE DIFF BUT, UM, SPECIFICALLY WE'D RECOMMEND TWO APPROACHES, UH, ADOPT A NARROWLY DEFINED TIME-LIMITED GRANDFATHER EXEMPTION.

I WAS MENTIONED EARLIER AND A FOUR YEAR PHASE IN, UH, AS ALSO, I DON'T WANT TO BE REDUNDANT WITH MY ONE MINUTE AND 47 SECONDS LEFT.

LET ME HIGHLIGHT, THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION TODAY ON THE IMPACT TO THE HOUSING MARKET.

NONE, NO ANALYSIS ON THAT.

NO DISCUSSION TODAY OR TONIGHT.

WE WOULD JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT A 449% INCREASE, UH, FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, UH, AND A 290% INCREASE ULTIMATELY ARE ALL GOING TO BE PASSED ON TO, UH, THE, UH, ASPIRING HOME BUYER.

ON PAGE THREE OF OUR LETTER THAT WE SHARED, UH, WITH YOU, UH, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT, UH, UH, CHINO HILLS HAS ACHIEVED APPROXIMATELY LESS THAN 5%, LESS THAN 5%, UH, OF THE REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT GOALS.

AND, UH, WE ARE HERE AT THE MIDWAY POINT OF THE ARENA CYCLE, UH, IMPOSING SUCH A STEEP FEE INCREASE NOW RISK WORSENING THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS, UH, AND FURTHER JEOPARDIZING THE CITY'S ABILITY TO MEET ITS STATE'S HOUSING TARGETS.

UH, WE WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL RESPECTFULLY TO EXERCISE ITS LOCAL CONTROL.

WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT SACRAMENTO DOES AS FAR AS MANDATES.

WE ARE SENSITIVE TO THAT.

BUT HERE TONIGHT, YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EITHER, UH, CONTINUE THE, THE PARK FEE, WHICH IS AN EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE, ALMOST, UH, 450%, AND ALLOW US TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT A, UH, A BALANCED, A LOCAL DRIVEN SOLUTION, ONE THAT PROVIDES FOR FUTURE PARK INVESTMENT WHILE PROTECTING HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, SUPPORTING WORKING FAMILIES, AND MAINTAINING PROGRESS TOWARDS CHINO'S ARENA OBLIGATIONS.

I WOULD SAY THE IDEA THAT WE LOOK AT OTHER CITIES IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO LOOK AT THINGS.

YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT, UH, ALL, EVERYTHING IN YOUR CITY IS DIFFERENT.

UH, SO LOOKING AT AN INCREASE FOR THE MERITS OF, WELL, WE WANT TO BE LIKE ONTARIO OR THESE OTHER CITIES, THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT PARK IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

SO IT'S, IT'S NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

UH, AGAIN, WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK, UM, FOR CONSIDERATION ON A BALANCED, UH, PHASE IN APPROACH AND EXEMPTION IN PARTICULAR, UH, FOR THOSE PROJECTS THAT THIS COULD BE, UH, REALLY, UH, EXTREMELY DETRIMENTAL.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

I'LL NOTE THAT, UH, WE APPRECIATE THE TIME, UH, WITH NICK AND KRISTA.

WE DID SPEAK AT LENGTH, UH, WITH THEM.

UH, I WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE THE WORKSHOP, UH, UNDER THE WEATHER, BUT I APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO COMMENT TODAY AND WE HOPE THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, UH, TO MOVE FORWARD ON ALL THE OTHER FEES AND, AND REALLY LOOK AT A BALANCED APPROACH ON THIS, UH, PARK FEE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UH, I THINK WE'VE DISCUSSED THE THREE MINUTE, UH, LIMIT DOES NOT APPLY IN A PUBLIC HEARING COMMENTS BY THE APPLICANT, IS THAT CORRECT? UM, NO.

AND POINT OF CLARIFICATION,

[01:35:01]

IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT, IT'S GONNA BE FOR ALL THE SPEAKERS.

I'M SORRY.

THERE, THERE IS NO APP.

FOR EVERYBODY, IF YOU WANNA ALLOW, IF YOU WANNA ALLOW MORE TIME PER EVERY SPEAKER, THEN I WOULD JUST SET THAT NUMBER OF MINUTES.

EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT.

SO WE'RE GONNA HEAR FROM LENNAR AT THIS POINT, FROM JEFF FIRST BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING ELSE, BEN? YEAH.

UH, I'LL, I'LL JUST CLARIFY.

UH, THE MAYOR HAS THE, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, JURISDICTION TO SET A DIFFERENT TIME FOR A PUBLIC HEARING LIKE THIS.

UH, IT JUST SO HAPPENS, I KNOW THAT I WAS WATCHING, UH, UH, WHILE MR. RODRIGUEZ WAS TALKING.

HE HAD THE FIRST THREE MINUTES, UH, HE TALKED FOR ROUGHLY ANOTHER MINUTE PAST THAT.

I WOULD JUST SAY, BRANDON, IF YOU CAN'T ON THE FLY, SET THE, UH, TIMER FOR FOUR MINUTES.

THAT WAY WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING EVERYTHING EQUAL.

BUT ALSO, UH, UH, FOR THE PUBLIC.

THE COUNCIL WILL LIKELY HAVE QUESTIONS OF, UH, EITHER THE PRESENTERS OR STAFF.

UH, AND THAT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO CALL THEM BACK UP AND TALK MORE ABOUT, UH, EITHER PROPOSALS OR TO GET CLARIFICATION.

BUT JUST SO THAT WE KEEP IT, UH, FAIR, UH, WE WOULD OFFER THAT ANY OTHER SPEAKER ALSO RECEIVE FOUR MINUTES.

ALRIGHT, NO PROBLEM THERE.

SO WE'RE HAVING JEFF COME UP WITH LENNAR, IS THAT CORRECT? MM-HMM .

I AM NOT CARLOS.

SO , UH, I'M JEFF SMITH, UH, VICE PRESIDENT OF FORD PLANNING AT LENNAR HOMES.

UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

UM, I'D LIKE TO REITERATE, UH, THE POINTS THAT CARLOS MADE AND, AND IN OUR LETTER AND ALSO A LETTER THAT WE PUT IN WRITING, UH, THAT'S A, AS PART OF THE RECORD.

AND THAT POINT IS THAT WE HAVE AN ATTAINABLE HOUSING CRISIS, UH, THAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR STATE, IN OUR COUNTY, IN THE CITY.

UM, FAMILIES UNABLE TO STAY IN THE CITIES THEY GREW UP, UH, CHILDREN UNABLE TO, TO AFFORD HOMES IS TRULY A CRISIS.

AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS FOR THE BUILDER COMMUNITY AND OUR LOCAL AGENCIES TO PARTNER TO FIND WAYS TO REDUCE THE COST OF HOUSING.

AND, UM, I DO WANNA GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF PERSPECTIVE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AT LENNAR.

UM, 75% OF OUR HOME BUYERS, ROUGHLY EVERY, EVERY WEEK IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT ON AVERAGE, 75% OF OUR HOME BUYERS ARE FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS.

AS YOU KNOW, THE RESALE MARKET IS PRETTY LOCKED UP.

PEOPLE STAY IN THEIR HOMES WITH THEIR TWO AND A HALF PERCENT OR 3% MORTGAGE RATE.

SO THERE'S A, THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A NEW HOME IS GENERALLY AVAILABLE TO THOSE FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS, BUT THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT.

AND ONE THING THAT WE'RE DOING IS BUYING DOWN MORTGAGE RATES, UH, TO EXTREME LEVELS, UH, DOWN TO EVEN IN SOME CASES A 3.99% MORTGAGE.

AND THOSE COMES, THAT COMES WITH EXTREME COSTS.

UM, AND I CAN SPEAK FOR THE BUILDER COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE FACING, UH, MUCH HARDSHIP, UH, WITH HAVING TO DO THAT TO, TO GET PEOPLE INTO HOMES.

SO EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS IS, IS KIND OF THE POINT THAT I'M MAKING, THAT WE NEED, UM, THE ENTIRE COST STACK TO COME DOWN FOR SO PEOPLE CAN AFFORD, UH, A HOME IN NELAND EMPIRE.

SO, UH, THIS FEE INCREASE, PARTICULARLY THE PARKS FEE, IS A VERY DRAMATIC INCREASE.

AND WE DO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS CITY DOES NEED TO HAVE QUALITY PARKS.

WE, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TOO, AS A, AS A BUILDER.

AND I THINK THIS IS WHERE WE NEED TO FIND THE RIGHT BALANCE.

UM, AND THAT'S WHY I THINK THE PROPOSAL THAT WE'VE PUT FORTH, UH, MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR PROJECTS THAT HAVE THEIR APPROVED MAPS, THEY HAVE THEIR CAPITAL SECURED, THEY HAVE THEIR BUSINESS PLAN SET.

UM, IT, IT IS AN, A VERY BIG HARDSHIP TO ACCEPT A FEE OF 11,000 PLUS MORE PER HOME.

UM, AND ALSO PHASING IN THE FEE INCREASE OVER TIME CAN HELP, UH, UH, REDUCE THAT BLUNT, UH, OF THE, OF THE FEE INCREASE.

SO WE DO APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THOSE TWO ITEMS AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME HERE.

I'M ALSO AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

UM, AND THANK YOU AGAIN.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

ANY OTHERS? NO, THAT IS THE FINAL SPEAKER.

CHILDREN CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE IN CHINO HILLS.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE OUT IN THE AUDIENCE THAT HAS ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS? YES.

IF YOU COULD JUST IDENTIFY YOURSELF ONLY SO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM.

HI, MY NAME IS DEBORAH MATSON.

I'M A 23 YEAR RESIDENT OF SUMMIT RANCH IN CARBON CANYON.

AND I'M JUST REITERATING WHAT I'VE HEARD TODAY FROM THE DEVELOPERS.

UM, MY OWN

[01:40:01]

UM, MY, ONE OF MY SONS CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO MOVE OUT OF THE HOME BECAUSE, UM, THE COST OF APARTMENTS AND HOUSING IS SO HIGH AND WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO HELP, UM, KEEP HOUSING, UH, MORE AFFORDABLE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

AND, UM, I'M, I'M, I THINK WE'RE ALL WILLING TO HAVE A LITTLE LESS THAN IDEAL PARKS IN ORDER TO HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IF I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT UP HERE FOR DISCUSSION, IF WE NEED CLARIFICATION FROM EITHER THE COMPANY OR THE COMPANIES THAT HAVE SPOKEN, CAN WE ASK THEM QUESTIONS WITHOUT HAVING TO REOPEN THE HEARING? WHAT, WHAT PROCEDURALLY SHOULD WE DO IT? SHOULD WE DO IT THAT WAY? ALRIGHT, SO I'M GONNA OFFICIALLY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, BRING IT UP HERE, COUNSEL, QUESTIONS OF STAFF OR QUESTIONS OF THE, UH, COMPANY'S REPRESENTED.

I WOULD STILL LIKE TO FOCUS ON WHAT I SAID EARLIER, UH, HAVING TO DO WITH CONSISTENCY OF FEES.

IF WE PUNTED THIS FOR A MONTH OR SO TO INVESTIGATE, UH, CARLOS BROUGHT UP THAT MAY NOT BE EQUAL WHEN I SUGGESTED THAT WE HAVE, UH, THAT WE STAY THAT, THAT SINCE WE HAVEN'T RAISED OUR FEES IN A LONG, LONG, LONG TIME, THAT UM, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE TO HIGHER MIDDLE BECAUSE I KNOW THOSE CITIES IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS WILL PROBABLY RAISE THEIR FEES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE'RE GONNA BE BUMPED TO THE BACK END AGAIN.

BUT HE RAISES A GOOD POINT AS FAR AS DO THEY HAVE THE SAME WAY OF DETERMINING HOW THOSE FEES ARE UTILIZED COMPARED TO HOW WE UTILIZE THOSE FEES FOR, OR THE PROCESS? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK INTO? 'CAUSE I, I THINK WE DO NEED TO RAISE OUR FEES, UH, MORE, A LITTLE MORE QUICKLY BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAKE UP FOR SOME LOST TIME PROBLEM.

KEEPING IN MIND THAT THE AFFORDABILITY FACTOR AND BUDGETING HOW THEY'VE GONE THROUGH THEIR BUDGETING OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS TO ANTICIPATE HOW THEIR HOMES ARE GOING TO BE PRICED SO THAT THERE IS AN EQUAL WEIGHING THERE.

BUT I AM STILL CONCERNED THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE MUCH ABOUT THIS IN SO LONG THAT WE DO NEED TO CATCH UP.

SO TO ME, THE PERCENTAGE INCREASE IS NOT AS BIG OF A FACTOR AS WHERE DO WE STAND WITH OUR LOCAL CITIES IN COMPARISON.

SO THE BIG, BIG QUESTION IS WHAT IS THAT COMPARISON? ARE, ARE THE WAY WE ANTICIPATE THOSE FEES, ARE THEY COMPARABLE TO WHAT THE OTHER CITIES, LOCAL CITIES HAVE DONE? THAT TO ME, THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION, BEN.

IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WANTED TO COMMENT ON THAT OR NOT.

QUESTION.

THAT'S WHY I'M LOOKING AT NICK AND KRISTA.

GOOD, GOOD REASON.

I, FOR ME, UM, I THINK I'M OKAY WITH A GRANDFATHERING EXEMPTION AND WITH A PHASE IN, I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF IT GOING TO 2028 I THINK TO 2027.

UH, I THINK IT'S FAIR, YOU KNOW, OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR BUILDERS HAVE PUT TIME IN, IF WE CAN'T HAMMER THIS THING OUT BY 2027, THEN SHAME ON ALL OF US.

AND THEN FOR A FOUR YEAR PHASE IN, I DON'T THINK I CAN GO WITH THAT, BUT I THINK I CAN GO WITH A THREE YEAR.

SO JUST, AND YOU KNOW, IN MY OPINION, YEAH, I THINK IT'S, IT'S A REASONABLE KIND OF APPROACH TO IT.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE FOLKS THAT HAVE MADE A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY AND DON'T WANT TO MAKE 'EM CHANGE HORSES MIDSTREAM.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S A FAIR WAY, BUT I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE.

A SURE.

UM, YOU KNOW, BRIAN, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA AS FAR AS GRANDFATHERING.

I LIKE THAT THE FOUR YEARS I THINK IS JUST A LITTLE TOO LONG MM-HMM .

TO PUSH IT DOWN THE ROAD, UH, A COUPLE YEARS WOULD BE OKAY.

BUT AS FAR AS, UM, NICK, THIS IS TO YOU, HOW MANY DEVELOPERS, AND I KNOW WE HAVE TO SORT OF, UH, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY WHO THEY ARE.

BUT HOW MANY PROJECTS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IF THEY WOULD FALL UNDER FALL UNDER THIS? SURE.

SO FOR THE, UM, APPROVED TENTATIVE MAPS, THERE ARE THREE SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS, UM, THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT AND TWO MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS.

SO IT'S APPROXIMATELY, UM, THREE, UH, 570 ISH MULTIFAMILY UNITS.

AND THEN, UH, FOR SINGLE FAMILY IT'S ABOUT 35 IN THAT, IN THAT NATURE.

AND THEN, UH, THE ARMY CORPS OR ENVIRONMENTAL, ARE THESE THE ISSUE THAT THAT'S BEING PROLONGED AS FAR AS THE PROCESSING FOR THESE PROJECTS? UH, JUST JUST FOR VILLA BORBA? YEAH.

THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY ONE.

SO THE OTHER ONE SHOULD BE ABLE, IF WE GAVE THEM TWO YEARS TO GRANDFATHER, IT

[01:45:01]

SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE.

RIGHT.

AND, AND ACTUALLY, UH, WE'VE MADE QUITE A BIT OF PROGRESS ON VILLA BORBA THIS YEAR.

AND SO, UM, THEY ARE, THEY'RE VERY CLOSE TO BEING ABLE TO START CONSTRUCTION.

ONE OF THE THINGS YOU COULD DO TONIGHT IS YOU COULD ADOPT, UM, THESE FEES AND THEN AT THE NEXT MEETING THEY WILL, THEY SWAP TO COME BACK FOR A SECOND READ, AND THEN THESE WON'T TAKE EFFECT FOR 60 DAYS AFTER THAT.

SO YOU COULD ADOPT ALL OF THESE AND AT THE SEC NEXT MEETING, THE STAFF CAN COME BACK WITH AN ORDINANCE WHICH WOULD DEAL WITH THE GRANDFATHERING OF THESE.

AND I THINK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE QUIMBEE AND THE PARK FEES, YOU KNOW, SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING THOSE IN THE PHASE IN WHICH WOULD BE, WE COULD DEAL WITH THAT IN A SEPARATE ORDINANCE.

IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE.

AND THAT WOULD ACTUALLY ALSO, UH, SOMEWHAT ACCOMMODATE THE REQUEST THAT WAS MADE BY CARLOS AS FAR AS, UH, TABLING THIS.

EXCEPT WE WOULD MAKE, WE, WE WOULD ADOPT THEM, BUT WE WOULD HAVE ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS BEFORE EVERYTHING, ALL THE DETAILS WERE HAMMERED OUT.

YEAH, I, I THINK THAT YOU'RE GONNA, I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT I SENSE UP HERE ON THE DAAS.

I THINK IT, IT NEEDS TO BE SAID THIS, WE ALL RECOGNIZE THAT HOUSING COSTS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND, AND CHINO HILLS, YOU KNOW, I CAN KIDDINGLY TELL PEOPLE THAT WE'RE THE BEVERLY HILLS OF THE 9 0 9, UH, ARE REAL ESTATE VALUES ARE JUST GOING CRAZY.

WE HAVE A NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT JUST OPENED UP WITH THEIR, UH, GRAND OPENING STARTING AT 1,000,007.

I MEAN, THE AVERAGE PERSON YOU MENTIONED, YOUR CHILDREN CAN'T, UH, AFFORD HOUSES.

I'VE GOT SONS THAT HAD TO MOVE OUTTA STATE SO THEY COULD BUY A HOUSE.

UH, THEY COULDN'T AFFORD ONE IN CALIFORNIA AND THAT WASN'T CHINO HILLS.

THEY JUST COULDN'T AFFORD IT.

PERIOD.

I'VE GOT OTHERS THAT ARE LIVING IN APARTMENTS OUT OF THE STATE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD APARTMENT RENT HERE.

SO THE, THE, THE COSTS ARE RIDICULOUS.

THE WHOLE KEY ON THIS, THESE FEES IS THE THING THAT WE, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO, TO, UH, IMPRESS UPON EVERYBODY IS THAT WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RECOUP ALL OF THE COSTS THAT ARE INVOLVED.

WE SHOULD NOT BE IN A POSITION AS A CITY TO BE IN A POINT WHERE WE'RE SUBSIDIZING BASICALLY DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THE COSTS ARE GOING UP.

UH, THERE'S ALSO THE TALK ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS.

I'M, I'M SYMPATHETIC TO THEM.

I MEAN, I USED TO CONSULT FOUR DEVELOPERS AND I'M ALL VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH TO VALUING PROPERTY BASED UPON THEIR STARTING FEES ON, ON WHAT THEY PAID FOR THEIR LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

BUT THE REALITY IS, THE HOMEOWNER'S THE ONE THAT ENDS UP PAYING ALL OF THESE FEES.

THEY REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S COMING OUT OF THEIR POCKET NOW.

AND I'M NOT SYMPATHETIC TO PEOPLE HAVING TO PAY MORE FOR THEIR HOMES.

YES I AM, BUT I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO CHANGE THAT.

NOBODY UP HERE IS GONNA BE ABLE TO CHANGE THAT.

SO, MAKES SENSE TO ME TO GO WITH WHAT, UH, OUR CITY ATTORNEY JUST MENTIONED.

GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS AND, AND I'M GONNA ASK FOR SOME LANGUAGE ON THIS AS A PROPOSAL SO THAT WE CAN CONSIDER IT AND GET A SECOND OR A MOTION AND A SECOND.

SO IF YOU COULD GIVE US A MOTION THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE PASSING THIS AND MOVING IT ON TONIGHT, GIVING US WITHIN THE 60 DAY PERIOD A TIMEFRAME, UH, IN WHICH WE CAN WORK OUT DETAILS AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT GRANDFATHERING AND SUN SETTING AND ALL OF THESE THINGS.

ALRIGHT, REAL QUICK ARE APPROPRIATE AND SUPPORTABLE REAL QUICK BEFORE WE DO THAT, I JUST HAVE A, UM, CLARIFICATION QUESTION FOR NICK ABOUT VILLA BORBA REAL QUICK BEFORE WE WRAP IT UP.

UM, YOU SAID YOU, WE'VE BEEN MAKING A LOT OF PROGRESS.

IS THAT ON THE TOWN HOMES OR THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN VACANT? UM, IT, IT WOULD BE BOTH BECAUSE THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE OFFSITE, UH, STORMWATER DETENTION BASIN NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE CONS CONSTRUCTION CAN START ON EITHER.

SO THERE'S A 220 TOWN HOMES AND THEN THERE'S THE 19 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES OFF OF AZOS DRIVE THAT REMAIN TO BE BUILT.

BUT BOTH OF THOSE ARE, ARE LOCKED UP, UH, BECAUSE OF THE GETTING THE PERMITS FROM, UH, FISH AND WILDLIFE AND ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEER TO DO IMPROVEMENTS TO THE OFFSITE BASIN.

SO AS SOON AS THOSE PERMITS ARE OBTAINED, WHICH, UM, UH, WE'RE VERY, VERY CLOSE TO HAVING OBTAINED THOSE PERMITS, UM, LEN IS WITH THOSE AGENCIES, THEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO START WORK ON THAT.

UM, BECAUSE OF SOME OF THEIR STORMWATER DETENTION IS BEING DONE THROUGH A TEMPORARY BASE AND THAT'S ON THE SITE OF THE CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT.

SO, SO ONCE THAT GETS DONE, THEN THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO MOVE FORWARD.

UM, THEY'VE ALREADY HAD PLANS, UM, IN REVIEW FOR THE TOWN HOME PROJECTS.

SO, UH, THEY'VE, THEY'VE GOT ALL THEIR DUCKS IN A ROW TO START CONSTRUCION.

I DUNNO IF IS A QUESTION FOR YOU OR WE DO.

THIS IS STILL, I CAN ASK LENNAR A QUESTION DIRECTLY.

YEAH, COME ON BACK UP JEFF, PLEASE.

UM, SO, AND CARLOS, YOU CAN HELP HIM OUT IF YOU WISH, WITH WHAT, WITH WHAT, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER JOES AND OTHERS HAVE ALLUDED TO WITH LIKE A POTENTIAL GRANDFATHERING OF UM, TWO YEARS VERSUS FOUR AND BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING

[01:50:01]

WITH NICK.

SO I DUNNO IF IT'S A QUESTION FOR YOU THAT REALISTICALLY CAN YOU GET THIS, CAN YOU PULL THIS TO THE FINISH LINE AND BY 2027? 'CAUSE IT'S BEEN GOING ON A LONG TIME.

YES, THREE, THREE YEARS WOULD BE IDEAL ON THE GRANDFATHERING.

I THINK WE COULD GET IT DONE IN TWO YEARS.

ALRIGHT, AND THEN JUST FOR CLARIFICATION FOR THE PUBLIC, THE STORM WATER, UH, RETENTION BASIN AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S UP ALONG THE 71 RIGHT? WHERE WE'VE SEEN THE YELLOW IRON MOVING STUFF THAT, THAT'S, UM, THAT IS ACTUALLY IN A DIFFERENT BASIN.

OH, SO THERE'S, YEAH.

SO THERE'S TWO THAT THEY NEED TO DO.

THE OTHER ONE IS, UM, IS ACTUALLY, UM, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE, ON BELOW VILLA BORBA PARK BASICALLY.

AND SO THAT, THAT ONE IS IN, ON CITY OWNED LAND.

SO THEY, IS THAT THE ONE WITH HAVE TO, TO DO SOME EXTRA WORK? IS THAT THE ONE WITH THE BUMBLEBEE? YES.

NOT THE BAT CAKE.

WHAT'S THE KIND IT IS THERE? THERE ARE BATS AND THERE ARE BEES.

WHAT KIND OF BEES THERE? IT'S THE CROTCHES BUMBLEBEE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

YEAH, IT'S CROTCHES BUMBLEBEE AND I BRING THIS UP 'CAUSE I'M IN SOUTHERN CHINO HILLS AND SO LOVE YOUR VILLA BORBA PROJECT.

LOVE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH, UH, THE DOG PARK.

IT'S BEEN GREAT, BUT PEOPLE ARE VERY ANXIOUS TO GET INTO THOSE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

AND FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING WINNING WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE EMPTY FIELD THAT'S NEXT TO WHERE THE PUB RESTAURANT'S LOCATED, THAT'S GONNA BE SOME NICE HOME OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES WITH TOWN HOMES.

SO IT'S, UM, THAT'S ANOTHER POSITIVE THING.

SO, BUT YOU KNOW, WE CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW IS THIS TAKING SO LONG, BUT NOW IT'S WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS LIKE WHAT'S GONNA GET THIS PROJECT TO THE FINISH LINE BECAUSE EVERYONE'S REALLY ANXIOUS TO THAT BE A NICE ADDITION TO SOUTHERN CHINO HILLS.

SO, AND FOR, FOR CLARIFICATION, NICK, WHEN WERE THOSE, UH, ORIGINALLY APPROVED? MANY, MANY AGO.

I'M GONNA SAY PROBABLY ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO.

IT SEEMED LIKE THAT'S ALL I HAD.

OUR, THAT WAS SOME OF OUR EARLY YEARS ON THE COUNCIL THAT THOSE WERE APPROVED AND IT'S BEEN THESE ENTITIES SLOWING THINGS UP.

PLUS THE, THE REALITY IS APPROVALS WERE MADE WAY BEFORE THE ECONOMY WE PICKED UP TO WHERE IT MADE ECONOMICAL BILITIES HOMES.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S BEEN A CRITICAL THING TOO.

SO SOMETIMES IT'S, IT'S SELF-IMPOSED BECAUSE IT JUST, YOU, YOU COULD BUILD 'EM, BUT NOBODY'S GONNA BUY 'EM.

SO, I MEAN, THAT'S ANOTHER THING.

FURTHER CLARIFICATION.

THAT THAT, THAT'S CORRECT.

CORRECT.

IT'S BEEN, UH, APPROXIMATELY FIVE YEARS WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THE BASIN, UH, DEALING WITH TRYING TO GET OUR PERMITS FROM THE AGENCIES AND WHENEVER WE GET CLOSE WE COME ACROSS ANOTHER BUMBLEBEE OR SOMETHING.

UH, SO IT HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS WE'D BE DONE BY NOW.

UM, I THINK WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT UH, BELLO AT VILLA BORBA IS IT IS, UH, OPPORTUNITY FOR, UH, CONDOMINIUMS THAT'S TYPICALLY GONNA BE YOUR FIRST TIME HOME BUYER OR SOMEONE LOOKING TO GET INTO, UH, A FOR SALE, UH, OPPORTUNITY.

SO WE ARE VERY EXCITED, WE WANT TO BE DONE.

UM, AND WE CERTAINLY WANT TO, UH, UH, GET GOING AS FAST AS WE CAN.

SO THANK YOU.

AND THOSE CAUSES WILL BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PINE AVENUE CORPORATE CENTER.

RIGHT.

AND THAT SMALL SHOPPING CENTER, IS THAT WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED? YES.

SOUTH, CORRECT.

JUST SOUTH, YEAH.

ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CLARIFICATION? CARLOS? CAN I JUST ADD MAYOR? YES.

THE LAST FEW COMMENTS REALLY JUST, UH, HIGHLIGHT THE PENT UP DEMAND.

YOU HIGHLIGHT THERE'S, UH, SOME ENTHUSIASM FROM THE COMMUNITY.

UH, WHEN, WHEN IS THIS PROJECT GONNA BE DONE? UH, YOU HEARD FROM A, A NEIGHBOR, UH, TODAY AS WELL.

UM, THE EXEMPTION IN THE RATIONALE FOR THE EXEMPTION, AND WE APPRECIATE THE CONSIDERATION AND, AND THE ADJUSTMENT IN TIME, UH, TWO YEARS, UH, PROVIDING STAFF WITH THAT DIRECTION TO BRING BACK, UH, THE NEXT MEETING FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION.

SO WE'RE CLEAR THAT ORDINANCE OF IMPLEMENTATION TO GO, UH, ADJUST IT.

AGAIN, THIS IS ABOUT COLLABORATION.

SO IF YOU'RE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH A A TWO YEAR EXEMPTION, UH, TO ALLOW FOR US TO GET TO THAT FINISH LINE THAT, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER MORAN IS UH, REFERENCING, UH, WE WOULD, UM, RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU WOULD PROVIDE THAT, UH, DIRECTION TO STAFF.

AND THEN ALSO AGAIN ABOUT COLLABORATION AND COMPROMISE.

IF THREE YEARS IS A, A BETTER TIME THAT YOU ALL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE PHASE IN, AGAIN, UH, WE'RE NOT MAKING DEMANDS.

WE'RE ASKING JUST FOR COLLABORATION.

AGAIN, AGAIN, UH, LIKE THE COMMENT THAT WAS MADE FROM YOUR NEIGHBOR TODAY, UH, WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO ENSURE THAT, UH, CHINO HILLS HAS OPPORTUNITY FOR GREAT HOUSING OPTIONS.

AND IF IT WASN'T FOR, UH, ALL OF THE, NOT BECAUSE OF THE CITY, BUT ALL OF THE ISSUES AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, THAT'S WHY NOT CHANGING THE, NOT CHANGING THE, THE LANDSCAPE OF SAYING, WELL, WE KNOW IT TOOK FIVE YEARS, BUT YOU'RE ON A ONE YARD LINE, NOW WE'RE GONNA INCREASE IT 450 UH PERCENT TO, TO TAKE

[01:55:01]

THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

AS I, I SEE THAT YOU ARE STRONGLY CONSIDERING THAT.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

I THINK THAT'S WHY THE EXEMPTION, UH, ARGUABLY WOULD BE, UH, PRIORITY ONE AND WITH THE PHASE IN, UH, PRIORITY ONE B, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, INDULGENCE TODAY.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT, GENTLEMEN.

OKAY, JUST ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION.

CARLOS, YOU'RE THERE RIGHT NOW.

I'M GONNA ASK YOU THE QUESTION.

I'M NOT GONNA PUT SCOTT ON THE, PUT HIM ON THE SPOT.

UM, I KNOW WHEN I WAS ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION, I USED TO THINK DEVELOPERS USED TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.

AND I KNOW EVERY YEAR BECAUSE OF MANDATES FROM SACRAMENTO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, UM, YOU'RE NOT MAKE, OR DEVELOPERS AREN'T MAKING AS MUCH MONEY AS THEY USED TO.

WELL, WHAT IS I WAS TOLD ABOUT 11%.

IS THAT ABOUT RIGHT? WE'RE HERE ABOUT NOT ABOUT PROFITS.

WE'RE HERE, WE'RE KNOW HERE TONIGHT.

WE'RE, WE'RE HERE TO BE CLEAR.

UH, IT'S ABOUT, UH, PRICING AND AFFORDABILITY AT THE END OF THE DAY BECAUSE AS IT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, IT'S GONNA BE PASSED ON ULTIMATELY.

AND THAT BURDEN AND THAT BARRIER TO ENTRY AND THAT AFFORDABILITY AND THAT CHALLENGE, AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, UH, TONIGHT, WHERE BUYING DOWN RATES AND TRYING TO DO EVERY, WE'RE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP THOSE FIRST TIME, THAT 75% OF FAMILIES COMING INTO LENNAR AND TO OTHER, UH, HOME BUILDERS WITH THE DREAM OF BEING ABLE TO GET THAT, NOT TO HAVE TO MOVE OUTTA STATE.

UH, THESE, THIS IS TONIGHT THE EPITOME OF LOCAL CONTROL AND THE POLICY LEVER THAT YOU HAVE THAT CAN MAKE A DIRECT IMPACT ON AT OBTAINABILITY AND THE HOUSING MARKET.

UH, AFFORDABILITY IN, UH, I THOUGHT I HEARD THE BEVERLY HILLS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.

IS THAT WHAT WHAT? EMPIRE? EMPIRE INLAND.

EMPIRE EMPIRE.

SO ALL KIDDING ASIDE, I THINK THAT'S REALLY AT THE END OF THE DAY, UH, I I I DON'T HAVE, UH, A UH, PERCENTAGE FOR YOU ON, ON, ON PROFITS.

THEY DON'T SHARE THAT WITH ME AT, AT THE ASSOCIATION.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE NOT HERE TONIGHT TO BE CLEAR, UH, TO PAD PROFITS.

WE'RE HERE TO INCREASE THE ACCESS TO HOUSING, WHICH IS IN DIRE NEED IN CHINO HILLS.

AND IT'S NOT UNIQUE TO CHINO HILLS.

BELIEVE ME, IT'S A CRISIS.

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, INLAND EMPIRE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND CALIFORNIA AS A WHOLE.

SO THIS WOULD BE A GREAT STEP.

WE'RE GONNA BE MEETING WITH OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS TOMORROW.

I GOTTA TELL YOU, UH, THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION THAT WE WANT TO ASK IS HOW IS, UH, CHINO HILLS TAKING THIS BECAUSE ALL EYES ARE WATCHING AND, AND BEING ABLE TO SAY, HERE'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE PREMIER CITIES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND HOW THEY'RE APPROACHING BALANCING THE NEEDS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PARKS, BUT ALSO BEING ABLE TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT MAKES SURE THAT YOU CAN KEEP HOMES ATTAINABLE.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT.

AND JUST REAL FAST, I THINK KEN HILL IS ACTUALLY A BETTER CITY THAN YOUR BELINDA.

SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT QUESTION'S RIGHT UP THERE.

THAT'S A GREAT DEBATE FOR ANOTHER DAY.

NIXON, WHAT IS LAND FOR THE, UH, VICE MAYOR OF, UH, Y BELINDA? YEAH.

WE APPRECIATE BALANCE APPROACH.

UH, I THINK WE HAD ALREADY, MAYOR, WE'RE GONNA GET, WE'RE GONNA GET A MOTION FROM, YOU'D ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE MOTION AND I RECOMMEND YOU WOULD DO IS YOU WOULD, UM, BASED UPON THE DISCUSSION IS YOU WOULD APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS, UM, AS THEY'RE LAID OUT ON THE STAFF REPORT.

AND THEN ALSO ADD THE RECOMMENDATION TO THAT, THAT THE STAFF WILL COME BACK YOUR NEXT MEETING WITH THESE ALTERNATIVES AS YOU'VE DISCUSSED THEM WITH REGARD TO GRANDFATHERING IN CERTAIN, UH, PROJECTS OR ACTUALLY, UM, BASED UPON WHERE THEY ARE, THE PROJECTS ARE IN THE PROCESS.

AND ALSO THIS PHASE IN OF THE, UM, FEES.

AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE QUIMBEE AND THE PARK FEES ON BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS. OKAY.

CAN I GET A MOTION TO FOR THAT ALL MOTION? SECOND.

GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING HERE.

UH, I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND WE ARE TRYING TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR CITY AND WHAT IS ALSO BEST FOR OUR FUTURE RESIDENTS AND WITH OWN, IN YOUR OWN TABLE, WHEN WE'VE ONLY REACHED 5% OF THE ARENA NUMBERS, WE HAVE TO BUILD HOMES.

WE REALLY DO.

AND THERE'S A NEED FOR IT, BUT WE JUST HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH ALL OF THE HOOPS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE AREN'T SUBSIDIZING DEVELOPMENT BY NOT COLLECTING THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF, UH, FEE REIMBURSEMENT.

SO, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING TONIGHT.

APPRECIATE IT.

NEXT ITEM, UH, IS ITEM 17, PUBLIC

JEFF, COULD YOU LEAVE YOUR CARD WITH CHERYL? I'M GONNA BE YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND.

I LIVE .

THANKS.

I DID SOMETHING WITH MY AGENDA HERE.

I APOLOGIZE.

OH, HERE IT IS.

HERE IT'S, HERE WE GO.

ALRIGHT, SO OUR

[17. PUBLIC COMMENTS: At this time, members of the public may address the City Council regarding any items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Council that do not appear on the agenda.

[02:00:01]

COMMENTS ON NON AGENDIZED ITEMS. DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS? WE DO.

WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER, DEBORAH MADSON.

ALRIGHT, DEBORAH DE PUBLIC COMMENTS, YOUR HONOR, ON, YOU WANNA SPEAK AGAIN OR IS THIS THE SAME ITEM? NO, NO, THIS IS A FROM.

OKAY, COME ON UP.

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP ITEM.

FROM THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING, I HAD EXPRESSED, UH, CONCERN REGARDING EMERGENCY EGRESS OUT OF CARBON CANYON IN THE EVENT OF FIRE, AND THERE WAS GONNA BE SOME ADDITIONAL EVALUATION OF EMERGENCY EXIT ROUTES, AND ESPECIALLY IN LIEU OF THE ADDITIONAL HOUSING BEING BUILT IN CARBON CANYON, ARE THE EXISTING TWO ROUTES, EMERGENCY EXIT ROUTES OUTTA CARBON CANYON GONNA BE, UM, SUFFICIENT, UM, FOR ALL THE ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS.

UM, ONE OTHER ITEM THAT CAME UP DURING OUR LAST NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MEETING, ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS DID CHECK OUT THE GATES AT THE TWO EMERGENCY EXIT ROUTES AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE GATES, UM, AT THE EXIT TOWARD ANO SEEMED TO BE IN POOR REPAIR.

AND THE QUESTION IS, WOULD, UM, ANY WORK BE DONE ON THOSE GATES? AND THERE'S ALSO TWO GATES THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO GET THROUGH TO ANO AND, UM, IS THERE GONNA BE SUFFICIENT TIME AND RESOURCES TO OPEN BOTH GATES SO THAT, UM, PEOPLE CAN GET OUT? SO THAT'S THE FIRST FOLLOW UP ITEM.

THE SECOND ONE ALSO CAME UP DURING OUR LAST NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MEETING, WHICH IS THAT IN, UM, SUMMIT RANCH WE HAVE, UM, WATER, UH, TANKS, WHICH ARE USED TO GENERATE EXTRA WATER PRESSURE BECAUSE WE'RE UP ON A HILL.

AND OUR QUESTION TO, UM, THE CITY IS THAT IN THE LOSS OF, UM, POWER AND IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION LIKE A FIRE, WILL WE HAVE SUFFICIENT WATER PRESSURE IF THAT PUMPING STATION LOST POWER? SO THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE.

IS THAT APPROPRIATE TO HAVE STAFF ANSWER THAT? CAN DANIEL, CAN I ANSWER THAT LITTLE? WE CAN.

WE'VE ASKED THAT QUESTION BEFORE.

UH, YES, WE DO HAVE REDUNDANCY AT OUR, UH, WATER FACILITIES.

UH, WE JUST RECENTLY INSTALLED A, UH, A SYSTEM.

UH, WE, WE DID HAVE AN AREA THAT WAS VULNERABLE TO POWER OUTAGES, BUT THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED, UM, UH, WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

THAT WAS CANON LANE, RIGHT? CORRECT.

UH, BUT EVERYTHING IN THE CANYON, THROUGHOUT THE CITY, UH, DOES HAVE BA EITHER PERMANENT BACKUP BATTERY SYSTEMS OR, UH, THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE PORTABLE, UH, POWER BACKUP IF NEEDED.

SO THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF OUR PUMPING STATION IN SUMMIT RANCH.

UH, I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFIC AREAS, BUT YES, EVERYTHING IN, UH, WITHIN THE CARBON CANYON AREA, UH, UH, THROUGHOUT THE CITY, WE'LL HAVE, UH, UH, BATTERY BACK OF POWER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH, UH, ENOUGH PRESSURE SHOULD WE LOSE POWER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

MR. MAYOR, ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION.

THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR THE CITY MANAGER.

ARE WE LOOKING AT THAT JUST OUTTA CURIOSITY, SIR? AT, UH, ACCESS IN THE CANYON? YEAH.

UH, YES.

AND, AND, AND THANK YOU FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL POINTS THAT CAME UP IN YOUR, UH, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MEETING.

UH, WE'RE ACTUALLY PULLING OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, OUR, UH, EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND OUR LAW AND FIRE, UH, REPRESENTATIVES TO KIND OF TAKE A HOLISTIC LOOK AT THIS.

AND SO, UH, WE'RE GONNA BRING THAT BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND JUST, UH, KIND OF LAY OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT ISSUES.

UH, THANK YOU ALSO FOR THE COMMENTS ON THE GATES, I'M, I'M GONNA ASSUME THOSE ARE PRIVATE GATES, BUT, UH, UH, SO THE MAINTENANCE MIGHT BE BASED ON THOSE HOAS, BUT I THINK THE POINT IS IF THEY'RE IN DISREPAIR, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EASILY BE OPEN.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE, I KNOW OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER WHO'S OVER EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ACTUALLY HAS DRIVEN OUT TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE GATES AS WELL.

SO I, I I GUESS THE ANSWER IS WE'RE GONNA BRING THAT BACK TO THE COUNCIL TO LOOK AT VARIOUS ASPECTS OF IT, INCLUDING SOME OF THE, UH, RIGHTS OF THE PRIVATE COMMUNITIES, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, ACCESS AND, UH, THROUGH THEIR GATE.

SO WE WANNA LAY THAT ALL OUT, UH, FOR THE CITY IT'LL BE WITH THE, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, I WOULD EXPECT IN THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING OR THE FOLLOWING ONE, UH, WE'LL BRING THAT UP, ADD ON AS AN AGENDA ITEM SO THAT SHE'LL KNOW WHEN SHE'S CHECKING THINGS OUT.

AND I HAVE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION, WE'LL MAKE SURE SURE.

TO SHARE WITH YOU WHEN, WHEN THAT COMES UP.

AND MY NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH IS EXPECTING ME TO COME BACK AND REPORT, SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA BE ON THE AGENDA NEXT TIME SO THAT I CAN MAKE SURE THAT I CAN REPORT BACK TO MY COMMUNITY.

WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BE HERE AND EXPRESS YOUR CONCERNS.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

YOU'RE OUR EYES AND EARS OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY IF THINGS ARE GOING ON THAT, UH, WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY

[02:05:01]

AWARE OF.

AND EVEN IF WE ARE, WE NOT WANT SOMEBODY SAYING, HEY, YEAH, THIS REALLY DOES MATTER TO US.

SO WE APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO BE HERE.

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR OUR E ALERTS SO YOU'LL KNOW WHEN THE AGENDA'S POSTED EVERY THURSDAY BEFORE THE MEETINGS, THEN YOU'LL KNOW, IT'LL, YOU'LL GET AN EMAIL OR A TEXT AND THEN YOU CAN JUST CHECK THE AGENDA.

OH, OKAY.

AND YOU CAN CHOOSE THE COUNCIL AGENDAS CATEGORIES AS WELL AS EMERGENCY ALERTS OR, UH, JUST GENERAL NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE CITY.
