SO ON BEHALF OF OUR YES, YOU DO ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSIONERS.

WE JUST WANTED TO SAY, THANK YOU.

AND WE WISH YOU WELL.

AND YOUR MANY, MANY, ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS VERY WELL.

OH, WE DO COME ON UP, SIR.

THAT'S FINE.

COMMENTS OR COMPLAINTS BECAUSE I GOT A COUPLE OF BOATS OR WHATEVER, WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE TO SAY, BY THE WAY, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF YOU FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS.

SINCE I MOVED HERE, I DON'T KNOW WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN LEAVING YOU MULTIPLE MESSAGES? WELL, FIRST THING, MY DAD'S A TEXAS MARSHALL, SO I KIND OF KNOW MY LAWS AND MY RIGHTS.

I MOVED HERE ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO.

AND, UM, YOU GOT TO SIT THERE WITH A HARBOR.

THAT PRETTY MUCH WAS ON MY CASE.

AT FIRST, THEY PROFILED ME.

THEY THOUGHT I WAS A DRUG DEALER.

WHAT I'M SAYING? THEY LOOK AT MY TATTOOS.

MY BALL HAD HISPANIC.

THEY THOUGHT I WAS A DRUG DEALER.

I HAVE MULTIPLE POLICE UNITS COME TO MY HOUSE.

ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO.

THIS THING DOESN'T STOP.

I GET MULTIPLE TICKETS ON A, ON A WEEKLY BASIS.

UM, I DID GET OFFENSIVE WITH A LOT OF YOUR, UH, LIEUTENANTS AND YOUR, AND YOUR STAFF, YOU KNOW, AT THE, AT THE PRECINCT.

UM, IT, IT DOESN'T STOP.

I GOT PROOF.

I GOT VIDEOS OF ME GETTING PROFILE BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE MY ATTITUDE OR WHATEVER IT IS, BUT HOW AM I GOING TO GIVE THEM THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE? THEY DON'T GIVE ME THE RESPECT.

I DESERVE WHAT I'M SAYING.

I HAVE NO CRIMINAL BACKGROUND, NO CRIMINAL WHATSOEVER AT ALL.

AND I'M SAYING, I USED TO BE A TATTOO ARTIST.

I'M RETIRED.

I'M 41 YEARS OLD.

AND I RETIRED.

I'M SAYING I MOVED TO THE CITY TO HAVE PEACE.

I HAVE FIVE KIDS AND I GOT ONE MORE ON THE WAY.

BUT THE WAY THE CITY RUNS THINGS IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

I'M SAYING I LIVE IN THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA.

MY BROTHER IS OFFICER GABRIEL NEAR FROM THE HAWTHORNE PD.

SO I KNOW MY RIGHTS A LITTLE BIT AND THE WAY THEY TREAT ME WITHOUT THE RESPECT I DESERVE.

AND MY MOM AT THAT, I DON'T LIKE IT.

AND I NEED, I NEED SOME RESOLVE THE WAY THEY DO THINGS IS LIKE UNPROCESSED.

I KNOW YOU GUYS WANT TO GET YOUR MONEY THROUGH THE LESS FORTUNATE HISPANICS OR WHATEVER

[00:10:01]

IT IS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR PARKING TICKETS.

THE WAY THE WHOLE THING IS THEY GO AHEAD AND GIVE YOU A PARKING TICKET.

I GOT VIDEOS OF ME TALKING TO THE POLICE STATION.

I GOT THEM GIVING ME COVID.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? ME TALKING TO THEM ABOUT THE SITUATION, EVERYTHING THEY DON'T CARE.

ALL THEY CARE IS ABOUT GIVING YOU A TICKET OR CITATION AT FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND WAITING FOR THAT DMV TICKET OR THAT EVERYTHING.

SO YOU CAN'T PAY YOUR REGISTRATION AND YOUR RIGHTS.

MY MOM HAS HANDICAP.

YOU GUYS HAVE RIGHTS.

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS RIGHTS FOR PEOPLE WHO HANDICAPPED.

MY MOM IS ALLOWED TO BE PARKED THERE ABOUT 72 HOURS.

MY MOM GETS PARKED THERE NOT EVEN 30 MINUTES BECAUSE SHE HAS HER LEG MESSED UP.

YOU ALREADY HAD THIS GUY.

HE KNOWS ME PERSONALLY, WHO I AM.

YOU GOT THE POSSE SHOWING UP, PUTTING THE THING AND IMPOUNDING MY MOM'S VEHICLE.

WHEN I'VE TALKED TO HIM, NUMEROUS TIMES WENT OVER THERE NUMEROUS TIMES.

IF THE CITY WANTS TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS AND ISSUES, YOU GUYS NEED TO LOOK AT YOUR CRIME RATE IN THE CITY.

THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT TICKETS AND PARKING TICKETS IN THE WAY THE ISSUES ARE, BUT THEY'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE CRIME RATES.

THEY SEE MY CAR THERE FOR THREE YEARS.

KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? IT'S COMING IN A SENSE THAT I LIVE IN THAT ADDRESS.

WHY DO I GIVE HIM CONSTITUENT TICKETS? EVERY TIME, EVERY TIME, EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

IF YOU LOOK IN MY HISTORY FOR ALL MY CARS IN MY VEHICLE, I PROBABLY GOT THE MOST TICKETS IN THIS CITY TO ANYBODY HERE.

AND I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE THREE YEARS AND I KNOW I GOT A BIG MOUTH.

I KNOW I GOT TATTOOS.

I USED TO BE A TATTOO ARTIST.

I WAS BORN IN EAST LA.

I WAS BORN IN LOS ANGELES.

WHAT I DO AND I'M SAYING, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY FACE IN THE WAY I LOOK JUST TO MAKE THEM HAPPY.

WHAT I'M SAYING, IF THEY WANT TO COME TALK TO ME LIKE DETECTIVE TORRES, DIDN'T WENT TO MY HOUSE.

WHEN WE HAD THE FIRST ISSUE THAT THEY COME TALK TO ME.

THEY KNOW WHERE I LIVE AT, BUT THE PROFILE NEEDS TO STOP.

YOU GOT A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER.

I LIVE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? HE HAS PARTIES EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

WHAT I'M SAYING? I KNOW HE'S A POLICE, A POLICE OFFICER AND SAY, I KNOW HE DOES WHAT HE DOES.

KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? HE DOESN'T GET TICKETS AT ALL.

KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? HE HAS ALL KINDS OF CARS PARKED, BUT HE PARKED IN THE STREET.

YOU GOT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THERE'S A BUSINESS BEHIND MY THING, WHERE THEY SELL TOOLS.

YOU GOT BEST CIGARS RIGHT THERE, WHICH THEY'RE NICE PEOPLE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THEY'RE NICE, BUT IT'D BE PARKED RIGHT THERE.

SO MY MOM WOULD GET TICKETS.

THEY SEE THE PROFILING, BUT POLICE OFFICERS COME AND SAY, MAN, I'M SORRY, I CAN'T DO NOTHING.

YOU GOT TO THE FIREMAN CHIEF THAT COMES TO MY HOUSE.

NICE GUY.

HE PARKED HIS CARS ON MY STREET.

I LET HIM PARK.

I OWNED THE WHOLE BLOCK RIGHT THERE.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

I HAVE NICE CARS, NICE THINGS.

AND I'M RETIRED, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO COME OVER HERE IN A SUIT AND CHANGE MY WAYS.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? IT'S A SIMPLE, WHAT I'M SAYING.

THEY DON'T LIKE MY ATTITUDE.

THEY COME TALK TO ME AS A MAN.

AND I'M SAYING NOT JUST COMING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, GIVE SOME TICKETS AND BE LIKE, OKAY.

AND THEN WHEN WE TRY, I HAVE VIDEOS OF ME ASKING THEM, WHEN IS YOUR NEXT CITY MEETINGS? WHEN IS YOUR CITY PROBLEMS? YOU KNOW WHAT THE RESPONSES ARE.

WE DON'T KNOW.

THAT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM.

GO TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND YOU FIGURE IT OUT.

THAT'S NOT HOW YOU TALK TO, I PAY TAXES.

I GIVE THEM A JOB.

MY MONEY GIVES THEM A JOB.

YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? SO WHAT DO THEY, WHAT DO I DO NOW? WHAT DO I DO? TICKETS LIKE CRAZY.

AND MY SAID, I HAD, LIKE I SAID, MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN WITH, WITH SOME TYPE OF THING IN HER STOMACH.

SO I NEED MY MOM TO COME THERE EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK OR WHATEVER THEY TAKE SUPERVISION ON MY DAUGHTER.

THOSE COPS HAVE NO COMPASSION.

WHAT I'M SAYING? I COULD PARK THERE ON THE LITTLE CURVE, WHICH IS MY WHOLE BLOCK, MY WHOLE BLOCK.

AND THEY SAY, I'M ILLEGALLY PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

I GET A $350 TICKET FOR BLOCKING A HANDICAP ACCESS THAT I'M USING.

THAT NOBODY IN THAT CITY USES.

I RESPECT MY NEIGHBORS PARKING.

THEY KNOW THEY DON'T PARK ON MY SIDE.

I DON'T PARK ON THEIR SIDE.

LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS CALM, BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THE HEADACHES.

I'VE EVEN BOUGHT CARS.

JUST TO PUT THEM THERE, JUST TO KIND OF SABOTAGE THE CITY AND SEE, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY SEE A CAR PARKED OVER THERE, 24 HOURS TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING, NO, THEY GO STRAIGHT TO MINES AND I HAVE VIDEOS AND STUFF.

I'D BE LIKE, MAN, WHY DO THEY COME TO MIND? I HAVE VIDEOS WITH YOUR DEPUTIES, FIGHTING WITH THEM, ARGUING WITH THEM, COMING TO MY HOUSE BEFORE THAT COVID THING.

WHEN THAT WHOLE COVID THING WAS A BIG DEAL, THEY'LL COME TO MY HOUSE WITHOUT A MASK.

AND I SAY SIX APART, I'LL DRESS THE LIEUTENANT.

THEY WERE CALLING ME, TELLING ME, YOU KNOW WHAT, SIR, I'M SORRY.

WHY ARE YOU GOING TO CALL THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT? PLEASE DON'T DO THAT.

PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.

CAUSE I WAS GOING TO BURY THEM MY WAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? TO ME RESPECTFULLY, I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO TAKE IT THAT ROUTE.

I LEFT IT ALONE.

YOU GUYS LEAVE ME ALONE.

YOU GUYS KNOW I'M NOT A DRUG DEALER.

I HAVE NICE CARS.

I MEAN, I DO SMOKE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT IT'S LEGAL TO SMOKE WEED BOTTOM LINE.

WHAT I'M SAYING? I JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE.

ME AND MY FAMILY.

AND IF THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH ME, THEY CAN COME TALK TO ME DIRECT, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD ALL THESE TICKETS.

MY MOM CAN'T AFFORD ALL THESE TICKETS.

THEY CORNER US.

SO THEN WHEN YOUR REGISTRATION EXPIRED, YOU KNOW, THEY COME AND SEND THEIR LITTLE GREYHOUND TUNE AND THEY COME TO IMPOUND YOUR CAR AT THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

AND RESPECTFULLY CERTIFIED CAN.

WHO HAS THE MONEY TO GET THAT? WHEN I HAVE MY LUNCH TRUCK, THEY GOT MY LUNCH TRUCK TAKEN AWAY.

WHEN I USED TO PARK RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE A SUCCESSFUL HISPANIC.

AND I TOLD THEM LIKE IT IS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? I MEAN, I'M SUCCESSFUL.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

I DON'T SELL DRUGS.

YOU GUYS WANT TO COME HAVE A BARBECUE, WHATEVER YOU DON'T PROFILE ME.

CAUSE THE TATTOOS BRAHMA, TATTOOERS.

I KNOW HOW TO DRAW WHAT I'M SAYING, GOING TO PROFILE ME LIKE THAT.

THEY DON'T CARE.

THEY JUST SMIRK.

THERE'S NO DEPUTY THAT YOU HAVE IN THERE AS A LIEUTENANT.

THAT'S HISPANIC NOT TO BE MESSED UP.

THEY'RE ALL CAUCASIAN.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

WHAT I'M SAYING, THE ONLY ONE THAT ACTUALLY HAS THE COMMON SENSE.

AND, AND THE TIME TO TALK TO ME IS OFFICER TORRES.

THAT GUY'S A REAL GOOD GUY, BRO.

BUT HE HAS, HIS HANDS ARE TIED.

WHAT I'M SAYING? HE HAS A BOSS.

HE HAS TO ANSWER TO.

THEN THEY SEND THEIR BOSS STRAIGHT, THE LITTLE POSSE TO MY HOUSE.

YOU WANT ME TO SIMPLE? WHAT DO I DO? HOW DO YOU FIGHT THE CITY? COME IN HERE AND TALK ABOUT IT.

SO WHAT DO I DO? I CAN'T PAY FOR MY TICKETS RIGHT NOW.

I CAN'T PAY FOR MY REGISTRATION RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO HIGH.

I GOT AT LEAST 30 TICKETS AND EVERY SINGLE CAR I'M CORNERED RIGHT NOW.

AND THEY DON'T CARE.

[00:15:01]

THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP.

AND WHENEVER YOU GET A CHANCE AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE VIDEOS AND THE STUFF THAT I GOT ON THIS PD, CAUSE I HAVE CAMERAS ON MY WHOLE HOUSE.

THEY'RE VERY RUDE, VERY DISRESPECTFUL.

ALL OF THEM.

I'M SAYING EVERY SEE, EVEN THAT GUY RIGHT THERE.

CAUSE HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHO I AM.

AND THAT'S SIMPLE.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

VERY GOOD, SIR.

AND UH, AND AGAIN, FIRST I'VE HEARD OF ANY OF THIS AND WE, WE HAVE NOT MET.

UH, BUT WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO OUR POLICE CHIEF ABOUT THIS, YEAH.

I CAN ALSO REFER YOU TO OUR CITY MANAGER AS WELL.

IF YOU DID YOU FILL OUT A COMMON CARD? I DID THIS THE FIRST TIME I DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY DISRESPECTED MY MOM, LIKE I SAID, AT FIRST I WAS JUST PAYING THE TICKETS JUST TO, YOU KNOW, NOT DEAL WITH IT AND SAY, BUT THEY DON'T LIKE WHEN SOMEBODY COMES AND DRAWS IT TO THEIR ATTENTION, THEY ABUSE THEIR POWER.

THEY ABUSE THEIR BATCH.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? AND THEY, WHEN THEY GOT OTHER ISSUES IN THE CITY THAT THEY NEED TO DEAL WITH, THEY BROKE INTO MY HOUSE.

I SHOWED THEM VIDEOS OF THEM COMING INTO MY HOUSE THROUGH THE BACK GATE.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY TOLD ME WHAT I'M SAYING, OH, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WAIT, LET THEM BREAK IN AND TAKE YOUR STUFF.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? AND THEN CALL THE PD.

THAT'S CRAZY BY THEN, MY WHOLE FAMILY'S DEAD.

THEY KNOW WHO THEY KNOW WHO BROKE INTO MY HOUSE.

YOU WERE SAYING, THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHO THEY DON'T CARE.

THE CITY DOESN'T CARE THEY CARE ABOUT.

NOW YOUR TIME IS UP.

AND UH, AND I DON'T WANT, EXCUSE ME FOR SAYING, I, I DON'T WANT TO DISMISS YOU, BUT IF YOU LEFT YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS THERE AND WE CAN, UH, WE CAN HAVE SOMEBODY KIND OF, IT'S SIMPLE.

I KNOW MY TIME IS UP.

I'M SORRY TO THE STAFF, BUT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CALL YOU FOR THREE YEARS, THREE YEARS, LEAVING MULTIPLE MESSAGES IN YOUR ANGER MACHINE.

AND YOU HAVE NOT RETURNED MY CALL, NOT ONE TIME.

SO I HAVE TO COME OVER HERE TO TALK TO YOU PERSONALLY AND SAYING, AND I HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? I CAN TAKE MY CAR, GET FIXED OVER THERE AT THAT ONE STOP PLACE, WHICH I'M PRETTY SURE YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO THAT IS.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? AT THAT ONE STOP PLACE RIGHT THERE ALL THE TIME.

BUT WHENEVER YOU GET A CHANCE YOU CAN CALL ME.

I HAVEN'T BEEN IN SO I CAN SHOW YOU THE LEVERAGE I GOT AGAINST THE CITY, PLEASE.

THANK YOU SIR.

ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS? VERY GOOD.

CAN I GET A STAFF REPORT? YES.

MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

GOOD EVENING.

START WITH A QUICK RECAP OF WHERE WE'VE GOTTEN TO BEFORE TONIGHT.

UM, AS THE COUNCIL IS AWARE, WE HAD A GENERAL PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT MET OVER A PERIOD OF A COUPLE OF YEARS, UM, AND FORMULATED THE BASIS FOR OUR GOALS AND POLICIES OF OUR, UH, GENERAL PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT.

UM, IN JULY OF LAST YEAR, WE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION

[00:20:01]

HELD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ITEM AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE DRAFT AND FORWARD IT TO THE STATE FOR REVIEW.

AND, UM, AUGUST THE COUNCIL HAD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE DRAFT AND AFTER READING THE DRAFT AND TAKING PUBLIC COMMENTS, UM, THEY FORWARD RE ALLOWED STAFF TO FORWARD IT TO HCD FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT.

SO THAT, THAT WE SENT THAT TO THE STATE ON SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

UM, AND THEY RETURNED TO COMMENT LETTER BACK TO US, UH, I NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

SO SINCE, SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON ADDRESSING THE COMMENTS, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A VERY DETAILED STAFF.

UM, I'M JUST GONNA GO OVER SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ON SINCE YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO READ MOST OF IT ALREADY YOURSELF.

UM, SO THE PRIMARY AREAS THAT WHERE WE GOT CONCERN RAISED BY HCD OR ARE ADU PROJECTIONS, THE FEASIBILITY OF THE SITES, WE IDENTIFIED AS POTENTIAL FOR HOUSING TO MEET THE CITY'S RINA NUMBER CONCERNS WITH REGULATORY CONSTRAINTS WITHIN OUR ZONING CODE, WHICH THEY FELT HAMPERED DEVELOPMENT AND THEN COMPLIANCE WITH AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING REQUIREMENTS.

THE BASICALLY THEY ASKED FOR MORE INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS.

UM, SO STAFF ADDRESS THE COMMENT AS IN, IN YOUR REPORT.

AND BASICALLY WE JUST PROVIDED MORE INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS PER THEIR REQUEST FEELING THAT WE HAD MET THE REQUIREMENTS.

WE JUST MAYBE COULD HAVE EXPLAINED IT A LITTLE IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT LAHABRA.

SO IN THE KEY KEY AREAS, THE 80 USE THAT WE HAD PROJECTED 400 AND THAT WAS BASED ON THE RATE OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS WHERE HOUSING, UH, 80 UNITS WERE BEING BUILT APPROXIMATELY 25 TO 30 A YEAR.

AND WE PROJECTED THAT OUT OVER THE EIGHT YEAR PERIOD OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT, UM, AND EXPECTED AN INCREASE BECAUSE THEY'RE BECOMING MORE POPULAR.

AND AGAIN, WE PROJECTED ABOUT 400.

THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH OUR ANALYSIS.

THEY SAID THAT LOOKED AT THE DATA THAT WE TURNED IN ON OUR ANNUAL HOUSING REPORTS.

IT DIDN'T OUR DATA OR OUR ANALYSIS.

DIDN'T BACK UP THAT NUMBER.

UH, WE WENT BACK AND CHECKED OUR ANALYSIS AND WE DID HAVE SOME AREAS WITHIN THE REPORTING WHERE THERE HAD BEEN SOME ERRORS.

UH, WE CORRECTED THOSE AND, AND SENT THEM TO THE STATE.

AND BASED ON THOSE CORRECTIONS, WE ALSO REEVALUATED THE PACE OF THE CURRENT BUILDING AND WE CHANGED OUR PROJECTION TO TWO, 300 OVER THE EIGHT YEAR PERIOD.

UM, THE REASON THE ADU IS, ARE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF OUR HOUSING ELEMENT IS THIS IS GOING TO BE THE, OUR SOURCE FOR PRIMARILY MEETING THE LOW AND VERY LOW INCOME LEVELS, UM, BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF, OF WHAT THEY ARE AND THE GOALS OF THE STATE WHEN THEY ADOPTED THESE LAWS.

THAT WAS THE INTENT FOR US TO USE TECH TO MEET THAT CATEGORY.

UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT FOR, UM, WE DO HAVE SOME OTHER PROJECTS WITH OUR INCLUSIONARY ORDINANCE THAT WILL BE PROVIDING, UM, LOW-INCOME HOUSING, AS WELL AS SOME OTHER PROJECTS ON THE PIPE THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY MIGHT PROVIDE SOME AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO, IN REGARDS TO THE HOUSING INVENTORY SITES, AS PART OF THIS EXERCISE THAT THIS, WHERE ARE TO LOOK AT IT, ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES IN THE CITY, ALL OUR ZONING IN GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION AND IDENTIFY SITES, WHICH WE FEEL ARE GOING TO GET DEVELOPED WITH HOUSING AND THEN COMPLY AND COMPILE THIS LIST AND PUT IT IN THE HOUSING ELEMENT TO SHOW THE STATE THAT WE CAN MEET OUR BRINA REQUIREMENT IN THIS CASE, WHICH IS 804 UNITS.

UM, WHEN WE LOOKED AT OUR GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CODE, WE HAVE MORE THAN AMPLE PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY WHERE WE COULD, WE COULD DO THIS.

SO WE IDENTIFIED THE SITES WHERE WE GET THE MOST QUESTIONS FROM DEVELOPERS, THE MOST REAL ESTATE PEOPLE CALLING, UM, PLANS THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN DEVELOPMENT, EVEN THOUGH MAYBE NOT OFFICIALLY DEVELOPED.

AND, AND THAT'S HOW WE CAME UP WITH OUR SITES.

SO WE, WE CLARIFIED THAT A BIT FOR THE STATE, SO THAT TO PROVIDE THEM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

SO THEY'D UNDERSTAND OUR BASIS FOR PICKING THE SITES WE DID.

UM, AND I WOULD AT, TO POINT OUT AT THIS, AT THIS POINT OF THE SITES WE'VE PICKED APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THOSE UNITS HAVE BEEN EITHER APPROVED OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR WILL BE BIG BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION SOON.

SO I, I THINK WE'RE TRYING TO SHOW THEM THAT OUR TRACK RECORD IN SELECTING SITES IS WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE CITY OF LA BARBARA.

UM, OVERALL OUR, OUR LIST INCLUDES ABOUT 1,011

[00:25:01]

HUNDRED, UM, UNITS, WHICH IS MORE THAN OUR ARENA NUMBER.

AND WE DID DESK TO PROVIDE A BUFFER BECAUSE IN A LOT OF CASES, WHEN A DEVELOPER COMES IN, THEY DON'T ALWAYS BUILD TO THE MAXIMUM DENSITY ALLOWED IN THAT ZONE.

SO WE PROVIDED THE BUFFER FOR, IN CASE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

WE HAVE ENOUGH SITES SO THAT WE STILL AT THE END OF THE DAY MEET OUR NUMBER OF 800.

AND AGAIN, THE DETAILS OF THOSE SITES, UM, I WON'T GO OVER THEM, BUT THEY'RE IN THERE IN THE TABLES.

AND IN YOUR WRITTEN WRITTEN REPORT, ANOTHER ASPECT THEY LOOKED AT AGAIN WAS THEY LOOKED THROUGH OUR, OUR ZONING CODE AND THEY FELT THAT WE HAD CONSTRAINTS THAT MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE OR VERY CHALLENGING FOR DEVELOPERS TO ACTUALLY DEVELOP HOUSING, PARTICULARLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

UM, SO AGAIN, WE WERE YET ITERATED WITHIN THE DRAFT, OUR COMMITMENT TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING BY DOING THE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE.

UM, WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE AREAS IN OUR ZONING CODE, WHICH WE KNOW ARE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH STATE CODE AT THIS TIME.

UM, BUT THAT OUR PLAN IS WHEN THE HOUSING ELEMENT IS ADOPTED TO UPDATE ALL THE NECESSARY ZONING CODE SECTIONS TO BRING IT IN, TO COMPLIANCE WITH STATE CODE.

SO AGAIN, WE BELIEVE THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, UH, WE, WE WILL BE IN FULL COMPLIANCE.

SO THE TOUGH, THE TOUGH ONE, WHICH IS RELATIVELY NEW IS THE CONCEPT OF AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING, QUITE QUITE A TONGUE TWIST, RHINO SHORTHAND, A F F H, THIS, THIS IS THE NEWEST AND MOST COMPLEX SECTION OF HOUSING LAW THAT WE HAVE.

WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE GUIDELINES THAT AC HAS PROVIDED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE LAW IN THIS REGARD ARE OVERLY BROAD AND DIFFICULT FOR STAFF TO INTERPRET INTO A MEANINGFUL ANALYSIS AND POLY REP POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE OVERACTING THEME OF AFF H IS THAT ALL PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE EQUAL AND SAFE HOUSING AND SERVICES, WHICH SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND NOT CONCENTRATED IN SPECIFIC EDIT AREAS, CREATE CREATING GHETTOS OR POCKETS OF LOW INCOME THAT EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED OUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

THIS IS WHERE WE FELT LAHABRA COULD SHINE.

AND WE ADDED LOTS OF INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IN LAHABRA OVER THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE DECADES.

THE CITY HAS OFTEN BEEN VERY PROGRESSIVE IN PROVIDING SOCIAL SERVICES TO DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE, NOT, NOT JUST THROUGH OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS, BUT THROUGH OUR MANY LON NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE TOWN.

UM, WE FEEL WITH THIS ADDED DECK EXPLANATION, UM, THAT HC WILL C D WILL BE SATISFIED THAT WE'VE MET THESE REQUIREMENTS.

SO, SO BASED ON THAT, WE, WE BELIEVE THAT THE HOUSING ELEMENT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE LAWS, AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE COUNCIL FORWARD IT TO THEM SO THAT WE CAN GET IT REVIEWED.

AND JUST KIND OF A CLOSING COMMENT WITHIN THE FIVE COUNTY SCAG REGIONS OR NINETY, A HUNDRED AND NINETY SEVEN JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE HOUSING ELEMENTS.

THERE ARE ONLY SIX JURISDICTIONS WHERE HCD IS CERTIFIED THERE ELEMENTS.

UM, MORE, MORE JURISDICTIONS HAVE APPLIED.

AND IN SOME CASES, THE CITY COUNCILS HAVE APPROVED THE DOCUMENT BEFORE SENDING IT UP.

UM, OUR STRATEGY HAS BEEN TO GET THE CERTIFICATION FIRST.

UM, WE FIGURE IT'S A WASTE OF THE COUNCIL'S TIME TO BRING FORWARD A PUBLIC HEARING, TO ADOPT SOMETHING THAT HCD MIGHT CHANGE LATER.

AND WON'T CERTIFY.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE STRATEGY WE'VE TAKEN.

SO WHEN YOU READ IN THE PAPER ABOUT BEING OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW AND THE HOUSING ELEMENT, WE HAVE, WE HAVE GOOD COMPANY.

SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT ANYTHING IN THE DRAFT, ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

JUST ONE QUICK THING, REALLY, JUST TO BE CLEAR ABOUT BEING IN GOOD COMPANY, UH, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING TOO, IS THAT DESPITE OUR BEST EFFORTS, THEY COULD STILL DILLY DALLY ON CERTIFICATION.

AND IN FACT, ONLY ABOUT THREE OR FOUR CITIES IN ORANGE COUNTY HAS SO FAR BEEN CERTIFIED WITH THEIR HOUSING ELEMENT.

WELL, THERE HAS BEEN A TOTAL TOTAL OF NINE JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN BEEN CERTIFIED, AND NONE OF THOSE ARE IN ORANGE COUNTY.

EVEN WORSE, EVEN WORSE.

AND SOME CITIES HAVE ARE ON THEIR SECOND OR THIRD DRAFT.

SO AGAIN, THIS, THIS AFH ACE STUFF.

I THINK WHAT MOST CITIES ARE GETTING STUCK ON, BECAUSE AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT SECTION OF LAW TO UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS MEANINGFULLY.

RIGHT.

TO THEM THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DID DO THIS WITH MEETING THOSE GOALS.

WOULD WOULD, UH, NOW THAT WE HAVE PAST INCLUSIONARY HOUSING, WOULD THIS HELP OR THE F A F F H WE BELIEVE SO.

YES.

AND THAT'S WHY WE POINTED THAT OUT

[00:30:01]

AND BECAUSE THE THING ABOUT OUR AFFIRMATIVE OR INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE IS IT APPLIES TO ALL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS BUILT ALL OVER THE WHOLE CITY.

SO IT DOESN'T CONCENTRATE THE AFFORDABLE UNITS IN ONE PLACE THAT REALLY DOES SPREAD IT OUT ACROSS THE WHOLE CITY.

LIKE, CAN I INVITE THE PUBLIC TO TESTIFY, PLEASE GIVE THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, ANYBODY? NOPE.

UH, MORE REVENUE FOR THE CITY IN LICENSER PERMITS DEPARTMENT AS WELL.

CALL FOR A COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND OR ACTION.

MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.

THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO FORWARD THE CITY'S REVISED DRAFT 2021 TO 2029 HOUSING ELEMENT, THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, H C D FOR REVIEW AND CERTIFICATION WILL SECOND THAT MOTION WILL THE COUNCIL PLEASE VOTE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY FIVE ZERO.

I FIND MY WAY THROUGH OUR PAPERS HERE.

PARDON ME? ALL RIGHT, HERE

[2. CONSIDER THE FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 MID-YEAR BUDGET UPDATE That the City Council receive and file the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 (FY2021-22) Mid-Year Budget Update.]

WE GO.

SECOND ITEM UP IS CONSIDERED THE FISCAL YEAR 20 21, 20 22 MID-YEAR BUDGET UPDATE.

WE CAN GET A STAFF REPORT.

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

MY NAME IS JACK .

I'M A DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND, UH, WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO, UH, PROVIDE THE MID-YEAR BUDGET UPDATE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2122.

AND WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT THROUGH A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION.

SO FOR THIS SLIDE AND THE NEXT FEW SLIDE, UH, OUR FOCUS WILL BE ON GENERAL FUND, WHICH IS THE MAIN OPERATING FUND OF THE CITY.

SO FOR A FISCAL YEAR 20 20, 21, 22, THE CITY ADOPTED A BALANCED BUDGET, UH, WOULD REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES OF 50.95 MILLION.

SO WE EXPECT IT TO END A YEAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 300,000 SAVINGS OR 0.6% UNDER BUDGET EXPENDITURE.

WE ALSO PROJECT TO THE REVENUE THAT, UH, WILL BE 2.4, TWO OR ABOUT 4.8% HIGHER, DAN, THE BUDGET BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

SO WHEN YOU COMBINE THAT A SAVINGS OF 300,000 AND THE, UH, REVENUE OVER A PROJECTION OF 2.42, SO WE EXPECT IT TO END A YEAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 2.7, 3 MILLION, UH, SURPLUS IN GENERAL FUND.

SO NOW IN THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DETAIL OF REVENUE BY TYPE, UH, FROM THE TABLE HERE.

THE COUNCIL AND AUDIENCE CAN SEE THAT WE ARE, UH, CLEARLY, UH, OUTPERFORM OUR ADOPTED BUDGET IN EVERY CATEGORY.

SO THE, UM, THE SALES AND TRANSACTION TAX REPRESENT THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF ACCESS REVENUE OF THE COMBINED AMOUNT OF, UH, OVER $1 MILLION, UH, DUE TO MANY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS.

UH, NUMBER ONE, NUMBER ONE, BEING THE, UH, GROWING, UH, GROWING TAX BASE IN LAHABRA, UH, COSTS OUR SALES AND TRANSACTION TAX TO GO UP.

AND ALSO THE, UH, COVID-19 CONTINUING RECOVERY ALSO HELP WITH, UH, WITH THE TAX.

AND ALSO THE, UH, ANOTHER, UH, IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IS ALSO THE HIGHER THAN EXPECTED INFLATION THAT WE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING.

UM, OVERALL, IT MAY NOT BE GOOD FOR ECONOMY, BUT IN TERM OF CELLS, UM, AND TRANSACTION TAX THAT HAS SOME, SOME IMPACT, UH, IN TERM OF, UH, COLLECTING MORE THAN WHAT WE EXPECTED, THEN THE NEXT CATEGORY RIGHT HERE THAT, UH, UH, WORTH NOTABLE HERE, IT'S A CATEGORY OF LICENSES, PERMITS, AND FEE, UH, REVENUES ALSO ANTICIPATED TO OUTPERFORM THE BUDGET BY, UM, UM, A COMBINATION OF THESE TWO CATEGORIES BY 700 THOUSANDS.

AND IT'S, UM, IS ACTUALLY CAUSED BY A FEW FACTOR AS WELL.

AND ONE OF THE INTERESTING FACTOR HERE IS BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19, UM, BECAUSE OF THE, UM, WHEN THE COVID-19 HAPPENED, THE SHUTDOWN ORDER, A LOT OF PEOPLE CANNOT TRAVEL, CANNOT TAKE THE VACATION.

SO THEY END UP HAVING MORE SAVING THAN WHAT THEY EXPECTED.

SO AS, AS YOU MAY KNOW, SOMEONE WHO WILL ACTUALLY SPEND THEIR MONEY ON HOME IMPROVEMENT AND AS A RESULT, UH, WITH A HOME IMPROVEMENT AND, UH, THIS, UH, HOME PROJECT, RESIDENTIAL PROJECT, THEY HAVE TO PULL THE PERMIT.

SO THAT'S ENDED UP WITH,

[00:35:01]

SO THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE SHOWING THE MAKEUP OF GENERAL FUND REVENUE.

SO CAN SEE THE THREE BIGGEST CATEGORIES HERE, UH, REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY TAX IS 38% SALES TAX IS 26, 20 6%.

AND TRANSACTIONS TELLS TAXES ABOUT 13%.

WHEN YOU COMBINE ALL OF THESE THREE CATEGORIES RIGHT HERE, THAT'S MADE UP OF ABOUT 77%.

AND THAT'S ABOUT TWO THIRD OF GENERAL FUND REVENUE.

UH, WE'D ONLY 20, UH, 23% BEING THE REST OF THE REVENUES THERE.

AND WHEN JACK TALKS ABOUT TRANSACTION AND USE TAX, THAT'S THE CITY'S, UH, LOCALLY CONTROLLED MEASURE, T'S, UH, TRANSACTION TAX, RIGHT? SO THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE.

NOW WE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE DETAIL OF ESTIMATED REVENUES VERSUS ADOPTED BUDGET BY DEPARTMENT.

SO FOR THE MOST PART, WE EXPECT TO CLOSE THE YEAR AT BUDGET EXCEPT FOR TWO DEPARTMENTS, WHICH ARE POLICE AND PUBLIC WORKS, WHICH WE EXPECT TO HAVE A COMBINED SAVINGS ABOUT 300,000.

AND THAT'S SIMPLY THE RESULT OF A PAYROLL SAVINGS DUE TO VACANCIES.

NOW, DISLIKED, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE IN THE PIE CHART.

YOU CAN SEE THE BIGGEST CATEGORY IN THE GREEN AREA ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS THE SALARY AND BENEFITS REPRESENT ABOUT 40%.

UH, THE NEXT ONE IS PERS UNFUNDED LIABILITY AND PERSONAL MORE COSTS THAT REPRESENTED A COMBINATION ABOUT 15%.

AND WHEN YOU ADD UP THOSE THREE CATEGORIES, THAT'S ABOUT 55% OF GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES.

UH, THE NEXT ONE IS FIRE AND AMBULANCE REPRESENT ABOUT 21% AND FIRE.

IT'S A CONTRACT SERVICE THAT THE CD AL SOURCE TO LA COUNTY FIRE, UH, BACK, UH, MANY YEARS AGO.

IT IS SOMEWHAT, IF YOU THINK ABOUT, IS RELATED TO PERSONNEL COST AS WELL, BECAUSE IF WE DIDN'T OUTSOURCE THAT DEPARTMENT, UH, WE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE OUR OWN FIRE DEPARTMENT AS WE DID MANY, MANY YEARS AGO.

SO ESSENTIALLY WHEN YOU ADD UP ALL THOSE CATEGORIES RIGHT THERE, UM, THEY'RE REPRESENTING ABOUT 76% OF GENERAL FUND BUDGET.

SO ABOUT AGAIN, ABOUT TWO THIRD OF GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES RELATED TO PERSONAL COSTS, WHAT WE PAY PEOPLE TO WORK FOR CITY.

SO TO AFFORD THE NEXT FEW SLIDE RIGHT HERE, WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT CAPITAL PROJECTS.

AND, UM, JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT WE ALSO HAVE REPRESENTATIVE HERE FROM PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING TO ANSWER ANY DETAILED QUESTION THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

OTHERWISE, I'LL BE JUST READING OFF SOME OF THE, THE PROJECT THAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE CITY.

SO THE, FOR THE FIRST, RIGHT, RIGHT HERE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, A MAJOR PROJECT THAT COMPLETED DURING CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.

UM, THESE ARE THE ANNUAL, UH, PROJECT ONGOING PROJECT THAT THE COUNCIL PROBABLY SEE IN OUR BUDGET ALMOST ON THE ANNUAL BASIS.

SO THE FIRST ONE HERE IS THE ANNUAL STRIPING POLL PROGRAM.

UM, ALSO ANNUAL TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT, UH, RESIDENTIAL STREET REHAB.

AND THE LAST ONE RIGHT HERE, IT'S A MOBILE HOME PARK STREET IMPROVEMENT, UH, WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED AS OF MARCH.

AND, UM, THAT'S ALSO, UM, BEEN DONE ONLY ON THE, UM, AS NEEDED BASIS.

SO CONTINUE WITH THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS, UM, THESE ARE THE, UH, CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS IN CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.

SO WE DO HAVE HARBOR BOULEVARD AND ARBOR LETHA DRIVE SIGNAL MONICA, A MODIFICATION, AND WE ALSO HAVE THE ANNUAL SIDEWALK PRO UH, PROGRAM AND ARTERIAL STREET REHABILITATION.

AND THE DETAILS OF THOSE PROJECTS ARE LISTING BELOW.

CONTINUE WITH THE PROJECT CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS.

UM, WE STILL HAVE THE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT, UH, RESIDENTIAL REHAB REHABILITATION, AND THE ALLEY, UH, REHABILITATION AS WELL AS THE SIDEWALK AND ACCESS RAMP PROGRAM.

SO THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE SHOWING A CAPRA MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR.

UH, SO I LIKE TO MENTION A FEW OF THE PROJECTS RIGHT HERE, CAUSE THESE RELATED TO THE PARK IMPROVEMENT, THE FIRST ONE IS THE AVISTA GRANDAD PARK THAT HAS BEEN IN THE WORK FOR AWHILE.

AND, UH, FINALLY RIGHT NOW IS UNDER DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION TO START IN WINTER 2022.

SO WOMEN'S CLUB PARK IMPROVEMENT ALSO IN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION TO START IN SPRING 2023 AND THE OLD REST OF OUR PART IMPROVEMENT AS WELL.

IT'S ALSO IN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN IN SUMMER 2022.

AND WE DO HAVE, UH, THE REST OF

[00:40:01]

THE CAPITAL PROJECTS RIGHT HERE THAT, UH, YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE BUDGET BEFORE.

ONE PROJECT COUNSEL WOULD NOTE, THAT'S NOT ON THIS LIST IS A PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR EUCLID BETWEEN WHITTIER BOULEVARD AND LET'S CALL IT LAHABRA IF NOT DOWN TO LAMBERT, IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T KNOW THAT EUCLID IS A PRETTY ROUGH SHAPE.

UM, AS COUNCIL KNOWS THAT STREET FOR A LARGE SEGMENT OF THAT STREET, THERE IS NO STORM CHANNEL UNDERNEATH THE STREET, WHICH MEANS THAT IN MAJOR RAINSTORMS WATER FLOWS ACROSS THE SURFACE OF THAT STREET.

THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE CURBS THAT ARE A FOOT AND A HALF TALL.

UM, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS HAS BEEN DOING AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT IT WOULD COST TO PUT IN A STORM CHANNEL SYSTEM UNDERNEATH THE EUCLID, BECAUSE IF WE WERE TO JUST SIMPLY REPAVE EUCLID, WITHOUT THAT, UM, OVER THE COURSE OF A NUMBER OF YEARS, WHEN IT RAINS, THAT STREET WOULD DEGRADE RAPIDLY, WHICH IS WHY YOU COULD KIND OF IN THE SHAPE THAT IS AT A SAND BECAUSE IT'S NOT BEEN, UM, TREATED WITH A STORM DRAIN IN THE PAST.

THE COSTS FOR THAT PROJECT HAVE RANGED ANYWHERE FROM TWO AND A HALF TO $5 MILLION, WHICH IS IN EXCESS OF WHAT WE HAVE BUDGETED FOR THAT PROJECT.

UM, WE ARE GOING TO BE AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING FEDERAL GRANT FUNDING THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS TO SEE IF WE CAN QUALIFY THAT STREET FOR A STORM DRAIN PROJECT, IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL, HOWEVER, WE WILL LIKELY COME BACK TO COUNCIL TO SAY, RATHER THAN CONTINUE TO DELAY THIS LET'S AHEAD AND REPAVE EUCLID, UNDERSTANDING THAT IT'S NOT A PROPER DESIGN, BUT AT LEAST IT'LL GET THAT STREET IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAN IT IS IN TODAY.

BUT THAT'LL PROBABLY BE SOMETHING WE'LL BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WITH AVAILABLE FUNDING BY THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR AND COME BACK TO COUNCIL WITH RECOMMENDATIONS, RIGHT? SO THIS LIGHT RIGHT HERE, UM, THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO PROVIDE, UH, COUNSEL WITH THE RECAP OF THE ARPA FUND.

SO AGAIN, THE ARPA FUND IS THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT.

IT'S A FEDERAL ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE THAT PROVIDE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANT TO ADDRESS THE NEGATIVE IMPACT FROM COVID-19.

SO THE CD APPA, UH, ENTITLEMENT IS A TOTAL OF 15.8 MILLION.

THE FUND IS RECEIVED INTO EQUAL ALLOCATIONS.

THE CDO RECEIVED 7.9 MILLION IN MAY OF LAST YEAR.

AND WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE ANOTHER 7.9 MILLION, UH, IN THE UPCOMING MAY.

SO ON JANUARY 18TH, 2022, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR APPA, UM, AS PRESENTED ON THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE, UM, THE ITEM A HERE IS TO ADDRESS THE ECONOMIC IMPACT CAUSED BY COVID-19 AND THE CITY COUNCIL ALLOCATE 500,000 TO EACH OF THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS, THE, UH, UH, HOMELESS OUTLETS AND ASSISTANT, UM, RENTAL ASSISTANT BUSINESS ASSISTANT AND NONPROFITS ASSISTANT.

THE NEXT CATEGORY RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE IS A COUNCIL ALLOCATED $2 MILLION TO SUPPORT PUBLIC HEALTH AND COVID CONTAINMENT.

UH, COUNCIL ALSO ALLOCATE SOME MONEY FOR A REVERIE REPLACEMENT WOULD BROKE, UH, WHICH BROKEN DOWN INTO THREE SUB CATEGORIES, UH, $3 MILLION FOR CYBERSECURITY MODERNIZATION, $2 MILLION FOR CITY FACILITY UPGRADES AND ALSO 4.5 MILLION FOR OTHER GOVERNMENT SERVICES.

AND THE LAST CATEGORY RIGHT HERE IS THE, UH, TO INVEST IN STORM DRAIN INFRASTRUCTURE AND COUNCIL ALLOCATE 2.25 MILLION FOR THIS CATEGORY.

SO FOR NON GOVERNMENTAL FUND, UH, THIS REALLY NOTHING OUT OF ORDINARY HERE.

SO NON-GENERAL FUND, UH, OPERATION.

UM, WE EXPECT TO END A YEAR AT ALL BELOW THE BUDGET AND A REVENUE IS ALSO TRACKING TO BUDGET PROJECTION, AND THAT'S CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, MAYOR PRO TIP.

WHAT, WHAT DO YOU, UM, ANTICIPATE OR W WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO BE OUR BIG FINANCIAL, UH, SITUATION THAT WOULD COME UP WITHIN THE REMAINDER OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WHICH ANY CONCERN YOU HAVE, UH, FOR THE REMAINING OF THE FISCAL YEAR, UH, DON'T REALLY EXPECT ANY MAJOR THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE NOT MENTIONED, UH, AS MENTIONED IN THE FIRST COUPLE SLIDES, UH, OUR REVENUE, OUR TRACKING TO BE, UH, OUTPERFORMED THE BUDGET BY ROUGHLY ABOUT 2.4 MILLION.

AND WE, UH, ALSO IT DISSIPATES SMALL SAVINGS IN THE EXPENDITURES.

SO, UH, WE WERE LOOKING AT THE DECENT YEAR, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, NOT TO EXPECT ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT WE ALREADY MENTIONED, THE STAFF REPORT, UH, GOOD, GOOD JOB TO OUR STAFF

[00:45:01]

MEMBERS AND OUR DIRECTORS WHO HAVE HOLD A TIGHT SHIP AND, YOU KNOW, REALLY WATCHING EVERY PENNY.

SO IT'S, IT'S SEEN HERE AND MAYOR PRETEND, I'D SAY, UH, A COUPLE OF PERSPECTIVES FOR JUST THROUGH THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, BUT ALSO CALENDAR YEAR, UH, INFLATION CONTINUES TO OPERATE AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL, AND THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY.

IT'S NOT GOOD FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

IT'S NOT GOOD FOR OUR OPERATIONS.

OUR FUEL COSTS ARE GOING THROUGH THE ROOF, UM, WHERE WE'RE REALLY SEEING AN IMPACT IS ON THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.

ASPHALT'S COSTING MORE CONCRETE IS COSTING MORE, UH, BUYING PIPES FOR UNDERGROUND, UH, STORM DRAIN SEWER LINE PROJECTS IS GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE.

AND SO, UH, YOU KNOW, ON THE LONG RANGE, WE'RE HOPING THAT BY THE END OF THE YEAR, YOU START SEEING INFLATION TEMPER ITSELF AND THEN COME BACK DOWN, UH, THAT THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A CONCERN.

AND THEN WHAT'S HAPPENING IN EUROPE RIGHT NOW WITH THE SITUATION IN UKRAINE WITH THE WAR.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW THAT POTENTIALLY COULD RIPPLE ACROSS THE ENTIRE GLOBAL ECONOMY CAUSING MORE CHALLENGES FOR, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING GLOBAL ENDS UP LOCAL AT SOME POINT, AND ENDS UP BEING A CHALLENGE FOR US TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

SO THOSE ARE UNKNOWNS, UM, STAFFS AND AN OUTSTANDING JOB MANAGING THE CITY'S RESOURCES.

SO WE'RE, I THINK AT LEAST FOR NOW, WELL PREPARED TO ADDRESS, ADDRESS ANY UNFORESEEN, UH, OCCURRENCES, BUT NO ONE THOUGHT COVID WOULD HIT.

AND WE HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

SO SEEMS LIKE THE HITS KEEP ON COMING.

NOPE, MAKE A MOTION.

AND I'D LIKE TO ASK WITH REGARDS TO THE ARPA MONEY, UM, AND THE ITEM A, OF THE ARPA MONEY ARE, IS, ARE THERE PEOPLE APPLYING YET? AND IS THERE A PROCESS ALREADY, UH, AVAILABLE THAT PEOPLE CAN GO THROUGH A PROCESS AND APPLY FOR, SAY FOR NONPROFITS? SO, UM, TO ANSWER THAT, UH, WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF BEGINNING TO DEVELOP PROGRAMS IN ALIGNMENT WITH COUNCIL'S DIRECTION ON HOW THEY'D LIKE TO SEE THESE FUNDS, UM, ALLOCATED, UM, WE'RE WORKING BOTH INTERNALLY TO COME UP WITH PROCEDURES, BUT ALSO TO WORK WITH A THIRD-PARTY VENDORS THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH OTHER CITIES ON DESIGNING THESE PROGRAMS. AND THEN WE'LL OPEN UP AN APPLICATION PERIOD FOR, FOR DIFFERENT NONPROFITS OR BUSINESSES OR RESIDENTS TO BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR FUNDS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO.

MR. MURRAY I'D MAKE A MOTION.

UM, SHE TRAGICALLY PASSED AWAY.

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL LADY MARRIED TO RANDY MCMILLAN, THE GOVERNATOR, UH, HE LEAVES BEHIND, UH, FIVE CHILDREN AND 11 GRANDCHILDREN.

AND SHE JUST DID A, WHEN RANDY SERVED AS GOVERNOR, SHE DID A TREMENDOUS JOB BEING THE FIRST LADY OF, OF THE GOVERNOR JUST DID A GREAT JOB, RANDY, AND SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE BY YOUR SIDE.

AND IT KIND OF REMINDS ME SO MUCH WHEN I SEE HER, UH, KIND OF THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS.

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN THE FRONT, BUT SHE WAS JUST A TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS SUPPORT TO YOU.

SHE ABSOLUTELY ADORED HER CHILDREN AND HER GRANDCHILDREN, AND SHE WILL GREATLY BE MISSED.

SHE WAS A PILLAR IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

AND, UM, MY OFFER, MY CONDOLENCES TO ALL OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALSO WANT TO ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF, UM, TYLER SHAW, I'M SORRY.

YEAH.

MEMORY TYLER SHAW AND MY CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO OUR FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, TIM SHAW, UH, TIM'S MOM, KAREN, AND, UM, TIM'S SISTER AS WELL.

AND WE ALSO LOST ANOTHER, UH, DEAR FRIEND OF OURS.

UM, HAROLD POTTER, I WOULD AFFECTIONATELY CALL HIM A HARRY POTTER, WHO WAS THE ATTORNEY WHO WOULD FILL IN FOR DICK JONES AND, YOU KNOW, STEVE AND ROSE.

AND I, UH, WORKED WITH HIM, UH, MANY TIMES A YEAR IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

AND HE WAS JUST A WONDERFUL MAN AND AN INSPIRATION.

UH, IF YOU KNEW HIM, HE HAD PROSTHETIC LEGS, BUT HE GOT AROUND BETTER THAN, THAN, UH, SOME OF US WITH LEGS.

WE WAS JUST A GREAT MAN.

WE'RE CERTAINLY GONNA MISS, UH, WHO I CALLED HARRY POTTER.

HELLO, ANYONE ELSE? I WANT TO EXTEND MY CONDOLENCES AS WELL TO THE MCMILLAN FAMILY, TO THE LEGEND RANDY AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY.

AND ALSO MY CONDOLENCES TO THE SHOP FAMILY AS WELL, UH, IN AN EFFORT TO SLOWLY BUT SURELY INTRODUCE MYSELF TO MORE AND MORE OF THE COMMUNITY.

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE AMERICAN CROWN CIRCUS ON A SATURDAY MORNING.

AND AS A LOT OF FOLKS KNOW, THE CIRCUS HAS BEEN COMING TO TOWN IN FACT FOR MANY YEARS, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THERE WAS A SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR ABOUT 600 OF THE KIDS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

SO KUDOS TO COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER.

THEY HAD STAFF THERE ORGANIZING AND ARRANGING THINGS.

IT WENT GREAT.

AND CAROL AND I HAD A GREAT TIME TOO.

IN FACT, WE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME.

THEY OFFERED ME A JOB, BUT, UM, I DECLINED CAUSE I'M BUSY HERE, BUT IT WAS A GREAT EVENT.

AND I HOPE WE CAN KEEP DOING THIS AS IN FUTURE YEARS.

I'M THE ONLY CLOWN ON CAMPUS.

YEAH.

I ALSO ATTENDED THE AMERICAN CROWN AS CIRCUS AND, UH, IT WAS REALLY NICE TO SEE THAT THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT KIDS EYES OPENED WIDE, THEY WERE EXCITED.

THE PARENTS WERE EXCITED.

UM, IT JUST WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL AND I'M, I'M GLAD THAT THE CHILDREN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THEY NEED TO GET BACK TO THE NEW NORMAL AND GIVING THEM THIS OPPORTUNITY, UM, TO BE

[00:55:01]

THERE WAS, UH, SOMETHING FOR THEM THAT THEY TRULY APPRECIATED.

I DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THAT WILL RUN WALK ACTUALLY, BUT MY GRANDDAUGHTER DID AND THE DIAPER DASH.

SO THAT WAS MOST IMPORTANT FOR ME TO GET HER OUT THERE AND GET HER ACTIVE AS WELL.

BUT, UH, I BELIEVE SOME OF MY COUNCIL MEMBERS DID.

AND, UH, MY CONDOLENCES GO TO YOU, MR. MCMILLAN.

I'M I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT I'M SHOCKED TO HEAR ALL THE OTHER ONES AS WELL.

UM, SO I WILL KEEP YOU ALL IN MY PRAYERS.
