AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS GIVE OUT WHAT'S CALLED THE MAGNA AWARD.

AND THERE WERE IN A SMALL SCHOOL DISTRICT DIVISION, 5,000 OR LESS, AND THEY ONLY GIVE OUT THREE IN ANY CATEGORY TOTAL AND OF THOSE THREE, THEY PICK ONE GRAND CHAMPION.

Staff has determined that the subject request, Precise Plan 22-01, is consistent with the project analyzed by the previously-approved Mitigated Negative Declaration; all applicable mitigations measures have been made conditions of approval for the subject request.]

FIRST ITEM UP IS A DULY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE REGARDING A REQUEST FOR PLAN COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL PRECISE PLAN 2201 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 6,250 SQUARE FOOT COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT 7 31 EAST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY.

CAN I GET A STAFF REPORT PLEASE? GOOD EVENING.

HONORABLE CHAIR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF PRECISE PLAN 22 DASH ZERO ONE TO CONSTRUCT A NEW COMMERCIAL BUILDING.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF IMPERIAL HIGHWAY BETWEEN LESLIE STREET AND HARBOR BOULEVARD.

THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE EXPLANATION IS COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL, THE PROPERTY ZONE, PCI PLANT COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN.

THE PROPOSED PROJECT INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMERCIAL BUILDING ON A VACANT PROPERTY, WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY USED AS AN OUTDOOR STORAGE FOR LUMBER.

THE SUBJECT SITE TOTALS 20,723 SQUARE FEET, AND IS LOT FOUR OF THE NEWLY, UH, FOUR CREATED PARCELS IN 2018.

DISCRETIONARY PERMITS WERE APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL FOR SUBDIVISION OF THE PROPERTY IN THE FOUR LOTS CONSTRUCTION OF A HOTEL, WHICH IS A LA QUINTA INN AND SUITES AND CONSTRUCTION OF TWO DRIVE-THROUGH RESTAURANTS, WHICH WAS TACO BELL AND POPEYE'S, WHICH ACTUALLY FELL OUT.

THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE IS A SINGLE STORY BUILDING THAT HAS A FLOOR AREA OF 6,250 SQUARE FEET.

THE MAJORITY OF THE STRUCTURE IS DEVOTED TO OPEN DISPLAY AREA, TWO RESTROOMS AND AN OFFICE WILL BE LOCATED AT THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE BUILDING AND THE RECEIVING AREA AND STOCKROOM IS PROPOSED FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTION.

THE BUILDING WILL BE UTILIZED BY HALLMARK GREETING CARD STORE, WHICH WILL BE OPERATED BY 10 EMPLOYEES AND BE OPEN MONDAY TO SATURDAY FROM 9:30 AM TO SEVEN, 8:00 PM AND SUNDAY FROM 10:00 AM TO 5:00 PM.

THE PROPOSED BUILDING ELEVATIONS CONSIST OF STUCCO FACADES, RAISED PARAPET ELEMENTS ON THE NORTHWEST AND SOUTH ELEVATIONS, VERTICAL MILL METAL TRELLISES FOR VINES IN METAL ANI STACKS AND WAYNE'S COAT STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF.

AND THE COLORS INCLUDE A BASE TAN AND BROWN, WHICH WILL BE SIMILAR TO THE LAKITA HOTEL AND THE TACO BELL RESTAURANT AS REQUIRED BY CHAPTER 18 POINT 36.1 HUNDRED HAVI MUNICIPAL CODE PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL IS REQUIRED FOR THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT.

SINCE THE REQUIRED FINDINGS CAN BE MADE.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS RECOMMENDED THAT PCI PRECISE PLAN 22 DASH ZERO ONE BE APPROVED SUBJECT TO THE FINDINGS IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE ATTACHED ORDINANCE.

THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? I HAVE ONE, COULD YOU PULL UP THE ELEVATION PLANS AGAIN? SURE.

WHERE, WHERE ARE THE METAL AWNINGS? UM, IT IS THE, UH, IT'S THE PORTION THAT HANGS OVER THE FRONT DOOR AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IT SAYS HALLMARK.

UM, WE, WE CALL THAT AN ANI, BUT IT'S LIKE MORE OF AN OVERHANG.

IT'S ELEVATION B IF YOU LOOK RIGHT ABOVE, RIGHT BELOW WHERE IT SAYS HALLMARK IN THE SMALL LETTERING, YOU'LL SEE, UM, UH, UM, BURGUNDY A LINE.

THAT'S BASICALLY, UH, AN OUTCROPPING OF THE BUILDING, KIND OF A SHADE STRUCTURE, RAIN YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

YOU'D BE LOOKING RIGHT AT IT.

IT'S ACTUALLY MORE APPARENT IF YOU LOOK AT THE ELEVATION, SEE IT KIND OF STICKS OUT A LITTLE BIT.

SO IT'S NOT A TRADITIONAL AWNING.

IT'S RIGHT.

IT'S MOREOVER, IT'S MORE OF LIKE AN ENTRY COVER.

RIGHT? OKAY.

THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE.

YES, SIR.

ANYONE ELSE? UH, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE APPLICANT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE ADJUSTED HOURS FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER TO OPERATE LIKE TILL 9:00 PM? BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE A VERY BUSY TIME OF THE SEASON AND SEEMS TO ME LIKE YOU WANT TO OPERATE A LONGER DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER TO LIKE NINE, IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO HERE.

ABSOLUTELY.

I WOULD.

WHAT WOULD WE NEED TO DO MR. CITY MANAGER? SO I'M NOT SURE CHRIS OR THE REGULATIONS IN THE CUP PERMIT THAT, OR WE'D HAVE TO TAKE THAT BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

WE'RE ACTUALLY, WE'RE ACTUALLY ONLY APPROVING THE BUILDING AND THE SITE LAYOUT, THE

[00:15:01]

UM, THEY'RE, THEY'RE PERMITTED BY, RIGHT.

SO THEY COULD BE OPEN 24 HOURS IF THEY WANTED TO.

OKAY.

OKAY.

WE LIVE OUR BUSINESSES AND I GUESS I CAN GIVE THE OLD HALLMARKS SLOGAN, RIGHT? WHEN, UH, WHEN YOU CARE ENOUGH TO SEND THE BEST THAT WHAT IT IS THE VERY BEST, THE VERY BEST.

YEAH.

ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL OPEN IT UP.

THE PUBLIC HEARING, ASKING ALL THOSE WHO SPEAK TO PLEASE GIVE THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND NOT TO BE REDUNDANT, THEIR TESTIMONY.

I'D LIKE TO INVITE THOSE IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT TO SPEAK, INVITE THOSE IN OPPOSITION, SEE NONE WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AND A CALL FOR COUNCIL QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION.

AND OUR ACTION.

I, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT, UH, THE APPLICANT, UH, THEY'VE BEEN A WONDERFUL BUSINESS IN THE COMMUNITY THERE AT WESTRIDGE.

YOU HAVE WONDERFUL EMPLOYEES.

I'M A REGULAR CUSTOMER THERE.

JACKIE IS ALWAYS PROMOTING A JACKIE DEAL.

SO HE'S PROMOTING YOUR BUSINESS AND LETTING US KNOW WHEN THEIR SALES DOPE TO PUT ON FACEBOOK AND YOU RUN A VERY, VERY NICE BUSINESS.

MAY I ALSO SAY THAT I DID A LOT OF MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING THERE.

IN FACT, I BOUGHT, I BOUGHT THE MONOPOLY CHRISTMAS SET THERE AS WELL.

AND SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF GOOD ITEMS THERE THAT, UH, THAT I ENJOYED BUYING THIS CHRISTMAS TIME.

AND OF COURSE, IT'D BE MY FAMILY HAPPY TOO, AS WELL.

SO I'M THANKFUL THAT YOU'RE MOVING OVER HERE.

YEAH.

LOOKING FORWARD TO OPENING THE STORE, OPENING ME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

THAT'S STILL THE GOAL.

FANTASTIC.

ANYONE ELSE, MR. MAYOR, IF I MAY, YES.

I'D LIKE TO MOVE AN ORDINANCE TO THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF LA HABRA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING PLAN COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL PRECISE PLAN 22 DASH ZERO ONE FOR A NEW COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT 7 31 EAST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY MAKING THE APPROPRIATE FINDINGS AS PER THE APPROVED PLANS AND SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.

I'LL SECOND.

THAT VERY GOOD.

IF WE CAN HAVE A VOTE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ON TO THE CONSIDERATION

[1. APPROVE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA AND THE LA HABRA UTILITY AUTHORITY DECLARING AND IMPLEMENTING A LEVEL 2 WATER SUPPLY SHORTAGE CONDITION That the City Council and Utility Authority APPROVE AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. ____ ENTITLED: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA AND THE LA HABRA UTILITY AUTHORITY DECLARING AND IMPLEMENTING A LEVEL 2 WATER SUPPLY SHORTAGE CONDITION.]

PUBLIC COMMON SHALL BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER INDIVIDUAL WITH THE TOTAL TIME LIMIT OF 30 MINUTES PER CONSIDERATION ITEM, UNLESS OTHERWISE MODIFIED BY THE MAYOR.

CHAIR.

SPEAKING TIME MAY NOT BE GRANTED AND OR LOAN TO ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL FOR PURPOSES OF EXTENDING AVAILABLE.

SPEAKING TIME, AND COMMENTS MUST BE KEPT BRIEF NON-REPETITIVE AND PROFESSIONAL IN NATURE.

UH, ITEM UP NOW IS A APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA AND LA HABRA, UTILITY AUTHORITY DECLARING AND IMPLEMENTING A LEVEL TWO WATER SUPPLY SHORTAGE CONDITION AND HAVE A STAFF REPORT.

UH, MR. IF WE DO THAT, I HAVE TO DECLARE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST BECAUSE I SERVE ON CAL DOMESTIC ACCOUNTS, DOMESTIC, MAYBE IMPACTED BY THIS DECISION.

VERY GOOD, GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL TONIGHT, WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DECLARE A LEVEL TWO WATER SUPPLY SHORTAGE.

SO WHY ARE WE DOING THIS BECAUSE OF THE DROUGHT CONDITIONS WE'RE HAVING IN THE LAST, UH, FEW YEARS, WE HAD THE DRIEST YEAR IN THE LAW IN THE PAST 128 YEARS.

WE HAVE THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF HISTORIC LEVEL DROUGHT STATE ROW RE RAINFALL IS ABOUT 74% OF AVERAGE MAJOR WATER SUPPLY RESERVOIRS.

ABOUT 70% OF HISTORIC AVERAGE AND LAKE MEAD IS LOWER THAN 50%, UH, 50 50 LEVELS OF, OF THE YEARS.

IT'S ACTUALLY LESS THAN 50% FOR A STATE WATER PROJECT SUPPLIES REDUCED TO 5% VERSUS THE NORMAL 15.

AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NO WATER COMING DOWN FROM THE STATE WATER PROJECT.

OUR SNOW PACK IS ABOUT 35% AND THE TEMPERATURE IS RISING AND MELTING THE SNOW.

SO WE CAN'T DEPEND ON IT FOR, FOR RESERVOIRS.

SO ON MARCH 28TH, UH, GOVERNOR NEWSOME DIRECTED THE STATE WATER BOARD TO ADOPT AN EMERGENCY DROUGHT REGULATIONS, THE ORDER CALLS FOR URBAN WATER SUPPLIERS, THAT'S US TO SUBMIT WATER SUPPLY AND DEMAND ASSESSMENTS BY JUNE 1ST.

[00:20:01]

THAT'S OUR LEVEL TWO BASED ON 2020 ORIGINALS, NOT ON THE 2013.

SO WE ALREADY WORKED ON A 20% SINCE 2013.

THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL REALLY, THEY CALL THIS STANDARD NOW, AND THIS IS THE STANDARD.

SO THE MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS, UH, ORDER BY THE STATE IS, UH, THE NON NON-FUNCTIONAL TURF FOR COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL AND INSTITUTION AND INSTITUTIONAL SITE SITES.

SO THAT MEANS ANY TURF THAT DOES NOT HAVE A USE RECREATIONAL USE SPORTS FIELD OR ANY FUNCTION JUST FOR LOOKS, HAS TO BE TURNED OFF.

THAT INCLUDES CONDOS AND TOWNHOUSES.

ANY, ANY HOS THAT WATER HAS TO BE TURNED OFF.

SO WE WILL BE SENDING NOTIFICATIONS PRETTY SOON HERE TO OUR, ALL OF OUR COMMERCIAL RESIDENTS, LETTING THEM KNOW OF THIS, UH, ORDER LIS IF I MIGHT ASK, ASK ME A QUESTION ON THAT.

SO, UM, WOULD THIS INCLUDE, UH, GREENBELTS FOR INSTANCE, AND GREENWAY PARKWAYS BETWEEN THE SIDEWALK AND THE CURB? SO IF IT'S IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, NO.

IF IT'S A COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

YEAH.

YES.

SO THE COMMERCIAL SITE, THE, THE, ANY OF THE DECORATIVE GRASS AREAS WAS BASICALLY MARSHALL COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT AND THEREFORE IT FOLLOWS THEIR, AND THEY'D HAVE TO TURN THE WATER COMPLETELY OFF.

CORRECT.

SO, UM, IF SO ASSUMING THEN THAT THE GRASS IS GOING TO DIE AT THAT POINT FOR THE, SO THEY'RE SUGGESTING TO TAKE IT OUT AND PUT A DROUGHT TOLERANT SYSTEM INSTEAD.

I GOT YOU.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

SO WITH LEVEL TWO, WE ARE REDUCING THE WATER WATERING IRRIGATION WATER INTO, UH, THREE DAYS A WEEK, UH, THAT WOULD WORK WITH THE ODD ADDRESSES MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND FRIDAY, EVEN ADDRESSES TUESDAY, THURSDAY, AND SUNDAY, AND NO MORE THAN 15 MINUTES PER STATION.

UH, AND ABSOLUTELY NO WATER RUNOFFS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

AND, UH, IT LIMITS THE, UH, IRRIGATION TO A NINE TO SIX, UH, NO IRRIGATION FROM NINE TO SIX, NINE IN THE MORNING TO 6:00 PM AT NIGHT.

AND THE REASON, UH, WE DON'T, WE DO THIS BECAUSE OF THE EVAPORATION OF THE, OF THE WATER.

IF YOU WATER, WHEN THE IS 90 DEGREES AND ALMOST NONE OF THE WATER GOES INTO THE GRASS, IT'S ALL GOES IN INTO THE AIR AND IT'S A WASTE OF WATER.

SO THAT'S WHY WE, UH, WE WANT TO, UH, TO WATER AT NIGHT.

SO, UH, THERE ARE SOME REBATES THAT ARE OFFERED BY, UH MODOK AND IT'S ALL, AND BY THE CITY, AND IT'S ALL AVAILABLE AT THERE.

THE BIG NUMBER IS $3 PER SQUARE FOOT OF TURF REMOVED.

SO IF YOU REMOVED YOUR, YOUR TURF, UH, MODOK WILL PAY ON BEHALF OF THE CITY $3 PER SQUARE FOOT AS A REBATE.

SO IF WE MOVE ON, IF THIS CONTINUES, WE WILL COME BACK AND DECLARE LEVEL THREE AND LEVEL THREE IS AN DECLARATION BY THE COUNCIL.

AND WHAT THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO GO UP TO 30% AND PER THE STATE CODE, AND THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL, UH, BURDEN ON OUR PRETTY MUCH, WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT'S GOING TO BE BASICALLY A SUFFICIENT SUPPLY FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, SANITATION AND PROTECTS AND FIRE PROTECTION.

THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THIS AFTER.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL NEVER GET THERE, BUT IF WE DO THAT'S, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

SO HOW, HOW DOES THIS AFFECT US FINANCIALLY? THE CITY SELLS ABOUT 8,500 ACRE FEET OF WATER PER CALENDAR YEAR 20% EQUATES.

SO ABOUT 1750 ACRE FEET.

WE PURCHASE THIS WATER FOR ABOUT $2 MILLION AND WE SELL IT FOR ABOUT $2.9 MILLION.

THERE'S ABOUT $900,000 IN LOSS WHERE THIS AFFECTS US IS WITH CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

SO IF THIS HAPPENS AND WE HAVE TO, UH, WE WILL HAVE TO REDUCE THE REPLACEMENT OF WATER MAINS.

WE HAVE TO DO, UM, THE, REDUCE OUR CIP IN NO WATER.

THIS ALSO AFFECTS THE SEWER SYSTEM

[00:25:01]

AGAIN, WE WOULD HAVE TO REDUCE THE CIP.

SO THIS IS WHERE RECOMMENDING TONIGHT TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION DECLARE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LEVEL TWO WATER SUPPLY, SHORT, THIS CONDITION AND THE DIRECT STAFF TO IMPLEMENT PROVISIONS OF THE LAHABRA WATER SHORTAGE, CONTINGENCY PLAN TO COMMUNICATE, RESPOND, ACTS THAT CONCLUDES STAFF REPORT.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, MR. MAYOR, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

UM, ELIAS, UM, HAS THERE BEEN ANY GRANTS GIVEN TO THE CITY, UH, FOR AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN? I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY AND ALSO THE, WHERE THE GRANT WHERE MAY PROVIDE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE, UH, YOU KNOW, LOW FLOW HOSES AND STUFF FOR THE SHOWER HEADS AND THOSE TABLETS YOU PUT IN THE TOILET TO SEE IF THERE'S, WE DO PARTICIPATE THROUGH MODOK AND WATER-WISE BE WATER-WISE IN, IN THE HIGH EFFICIENCY, UH, SPRINKLERS, UH, SHOWER HEADS AND ALL OTHER, UH, SO THAT'S PART OF THE INVESTMENTS WE'VE PUT INTO THAT.

HOW ABOUT, HOW ABOUT FOR STAFF? IS THERE ANY OF THE PAY STAFF? UH, WE GET REIMBURSED FOR THE STAFF TO GO OUT THERE AND DO EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AS A PART OF, UH, WHAT WE DO.

WE HAVE A GRANT TO THE, UH, CHILDREN'S MUSEUM THAT'S DIRECTLY, UH, UH, DIRECTLY USED FOR THE, UH, FOR THE, UH, WATER EFFICIENCY AND THE EDUCATION ABOUT WATER.

WE DO HAVE A, UH, UH, SOME OF OUR EMPLOYEES, UH, SCOUT THE CITY AND SEE WHO'S OVER-WATERING OR WE USE THE SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE TODAY.

WE CAN TELL FROM THE METERS, HOW MUCH USE FOR PER HOUSEHOLD.

AND IF THERE'S ANY WATER LEAKS AND OUR STAFF WILL, UH, DIRECTLY COMMUNICATE WITH THAT RESIDENTS, MAKING SURE THEY EDUCATE THEM AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A WASTE OF WATER.

MY, MY, UH, FINAL QUESTION ELIAS IS HOW ABOUT LIKE, UH, PROGRAMS THAT CAN RE RE REPLACE THE, THE GRASS AND YOU CAN PUT IN, UH, LIKE SAY, I CALL IT ASTROTURF.

I KNOW WHAT THEY CALL IT.

YEAH, WE, WE HAVE, UH, THROUGH MODOK THEY CAN CALL THE CITY'S, UH, STAFF, BUT WE HAVE A REBATE OF $3 PER SQUARE FOOT, BUT IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE ADDITIONAL THAT WOULD COVER THE ENTIRE COST OF THE THINGS ON TELEVISION? YOU SAY, OH, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR GRASS TAKEN OUT.

WE'LL COVER EVERYTHING.

AND, WELL, THERE ARE SOME SYSTEMS THAT WE THEY'LL USE, THE $3 PER SQUARE FOOT TO IMPLEMENT WHAT YOU HAVE, WHICH IS MOSTLY, IT'S GOING TO BE A GRAVEL MALT AND A COUPLE OF LOAD PLANS.

NOT NO DESIGNS.

NO, NO.

UH, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, ARE WE WORKING WITH ANY COMPANY? I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU HERE.

THAT'S OKAY.

JUST, IT'S NOT, IT'S GOT TO BE A VERY BASIC IF THEY PAY FOR EVERYTHING AND JUST GOING TO BE JUST A, ARE WE WORKING WITH ANY CONTRACTORS IN PARTICULAR, ANY COMPANIES? UH, SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MUCH FRAUD OUT THERE.

AND MY CONCERN IS IS THAT ONCE THE WORD GETS OUT AND THEN WE HAVE TO CONSERVE, HOW ARE WE WORKING WITH ANY PEOPLE THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BY MODOK OR SOMETHING THAT WE COULD WORK WITH? WE DON'T HAVE THAT ESTIMATE, NOTHING.

THAT WAS MR. MAYOR.

NOW MODOK, IF YOU DO GO FOR A, THEIR, UM, TURF REMOVAL PROGRAM, MODOK HAS A OPTION ON THEIR WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN SELECT TO HAVE A FREE LANDSCAPE DESIGN DONE FOR YOUR HOME AS PART OF THAT REBATE APPLICATION.

AND THEN YOU CAN CHOOSE TO HIRE YOUR OWN CONTRACTOR WITH THAT PLAN.

SO, UH, THERE'S, THERE'S SOME OPTIONS THROUGH MODOCS WEBSITE.

SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY RECOMMEND CONTRACTORS, BUT THEY DO HELP, UH, CREATE PLANS.

I DO GET MY MIKE ON LIS, JUST TO BE CLEAR AGAIN, I THINK YOU EXPLAINED THIS TO JIM, SO YOU GET THREE BUCKS, A SQUARE FOOT FOR THE TURF YOU REMOVE, AND HE CAN GO OUT THEN AND PUT IN ARTIFICIAL GRASS, IF YOU SO DESIRE.

IF YES, AND THEN, BUT IS, ARE THERE ANY OTHER STATE GRANTS OR ANY OF THEIR SOURCES OF REVENUE OR FUNDING THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF AT THIS STAGE THAT WOULD ALSO HELP SUBSIDIZE THE HOMEOWNER'S PURCHASE OF THE ARTIFICIAL GRASS ITSELF? OR IS THAT STILL NOT THAT I KNOW OF? NO.

OKAY.

THE OTHER THING IS THE IDEA OF US ACHIEVING SUCCESS BY GETTING A 20% REDUCTION, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY DESIRABLE MEANS THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THIS MONEY, OF COURSE, UH, TO THE WATER FUND.

BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE WATER FUND IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE WHERE IT SHOULDN'T NECESSARILY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF BASE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

BUT IS IT YOUR UNDERSTANDING AT THIS POINT THAT WE WILL HAVE TO PUT OFF PROJECT? SO NOT THE CURRENT BUDGET YEAR OR NOT THE NEXT BUT BUDGET YEAR, THEY'RE ALREADY FUNDED, BUT IF WE KEEP GOING WITH THAT 20% OR WE GO INTO 30%, THEN IT'S GOING TO IN THREE YEARS OR FOUR YEARS, IT'S GONNA START EFFECTING US.

SO DOWN THE ROAD, BUT NOT

[00:30:01]

CORRECT.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I DO HAVE A, UH, A MAJOR CONCERN.

I, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THESE RESTRICTIONS IN THE PAST, I'VE FOUND THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY ARE WILLING AND UNDERSTAND THE NECESSITY FOR THE SACRIFICE.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT FUN TO WATCH YOUR FRONT LAWN TURN BROWN AND LOSE PLANTS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU MAKE THESE SACRIFICES, BUT NOTHING, NOTHING IS MORE IRRITATING.

AND, UM, I THINK HURTS GOVERNMENT THAN TO SEE A SPRINKLER IN THE PARK.

THAT'S A BROKEN, THE HEAD'S BROKEN AND WATER'S GUSHING UP OR, OR ROUTINE SPRAYING OF A MEDIAN THAT'S RUNNING OUT INTO THE STREET CONSISTENTLY.

UM, OR THE HOURS OF WATERING ARE NOT BEING HELD FOR THE PARKS OR THE ATHLETIC FIELDS.

SO ALL I'M ASKING IS THAT WE AHEAD OF TIME MAKE SURE THAT OUR HOUSE IS IN ORDER SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO FEEL THESE COMPLAINTS BECAUSE THEY ARE REALLY ANGRY WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

UNDERSTANDABLE.

OKAY.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE SMEAR, HEY, ELIAS, A QUESTION RELATED TO WATER, BUT UNRELATED TO OUR WATER SITUATION HERE IN LA OR IN CALIFORNIA, IS THERE ANYTHING DOWN THE LINE THAT YOU KNOW OF AND YOUR EXPERTISE? I ALWAYS THINK OF THESE SCENARIOS IN MY HEAD THAT SOMEHOW SOME WAY THAT, UH, THAT WE CAN BUILD A PIPELINE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BE FUNNY, UM, ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, FROM THE EASTERN SEABOARD, FOR INSTANCE, OR SOMEWHERE BACK EAST, WHERE THERE'S RAIN IS PLENTIFUL AND THAT, UH, THAT WATER CAN BE TRANSPORTED INTO THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES.

IS THERE ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER POSSIBLE? OH, THERE'S, THERE ARE TALKS ABOUT BRINGING WATER FROM THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER ALL THE WAY FROM THERE TO CALIFORNIA.

UH, IT'S JUST, THE EXPENSE IS TREMENDOUS AS IS IMAGINABLE, BUT THERE ARE TALKS ABOUT BRINGING IN FROM DIFFERENT DISTRICTS THAT HAVE MORE WATER TO, TO SUPPLY OUR SIDE.

BUT RIGHT NOW THROUGHOUT THE STATE IS IN DIRE NEED.

IT USED TO BE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA HAS A LOT OF WATER AND WE JUST GET IT, BUT THEY'RE DRY UP WORSE THAN US.

SO THANK ANYONE ELSE.

ALL RIGHT, OPEN IT UP FOR A PUBLIC, UH, TO TESTIFY.

IF I CAN PLEASE HAVE ANYONE THAT WISHES TO TESTIFY, PLEASE GIVE THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

ALL RIGHT.

SEE NO ONE CALL FOR A COUNCIL AUTHORITY DISCUSSION AND OR ACTION.

IF NOT, MAY I HAVE A MOTION? I WOULD SAY MR. MAYOR, I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA AND THE LAHABRA UTILITY AUTHORITY DECLARING AND IMPLEMENTING A LEVEL TWO WATER SHORTAGE CONDITION.

SECOND I'LL SECOND.

VERY WELL.

THE COUNCIL AUTHORITY, PLEASE VOTE.

[ COMMENTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS/DIRECTORS:]

ALL RIGHT.

MAY 5TH MAYOR'S PRAYER BREAKFAST, WHICH WAS AN ABSOLUTELY HUMONGOUS CROWD.

JACKIE SLATER WAS FANTASTIC.

UM, OUR MAYOR WAS HILARIOUS.

IT'S LIKE WATCHING JIMMY KIMMEL DOING HIS THING JUST AWESOME.

IT WAS A GREAT EVENT.

I HOPE WE HAVE THE SAME KIND OF CROWD, IF NOT BIGGER NEXT YEAR.

UH, ALSO VERY MOVING WAS A SERVICE FOR JERRY MCMILLAN, THE WIFE OF, UH, RANDY MCMILLAN THAT WAS ON MAY 7TH, UH, ALSO AT, UH, IT WAS AT VETERANS HALL AS A HUGE CROWD THERE, TREMENDOUS SENDOFF FOR A WONDERFUL LADY, AND SHE'LL BE SORELY MISSED BY OUR COMMUNITY.

AND OF COURSE THIS PAST WEEK WAS NATIONAL POLICE WEEK.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, EVEN IT WAS A PEACE OFFICER MEMORIAL DAY ON MAY 15TH.

AND OF COURSE WE HERE IN THE HARBOR ALWAYS THINK OF OUR OFFICER OSURNIA, WHO WE MISSED DEARLY.

AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT, UM, 105 POLICE OFFICERS WERE KILLED ACROSS THE UNITED STATES SO FAR IN 2022.

AND LAST YEAR WE LOST 472.

SO, UM, AT LEAST AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, WE'RE ABLE TO REFLECT ON THAT VERY SOMBER STATISTIC AND, UH, PRAY FOR AN END OF THE VIOLENCE.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

SURE.

I HAVE MY, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I, UM, I ALSO ATTENDED THE MAYOR'S PRAYER BREAKFAST, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO LEAVE EARLY.

I HAD TO GO TO THE SCAG CONFERENCE AND, UH, SO IT REQUIRED ME TO DRIVE EARLY AND GO OVER THERE TO PALM DESERT AND THEN, UM, AND VOTE FOR REPRESENTING OUR CITY.

I DID ATTEND, UH, DON WHARTON'S FUNERAL, UM, AS WELL AND, UH, HAROLD POTTER'S, UM, SERVICES OF CELEBRATION AS WELL.

AND, UH, UM, I GO BECAUSE I, I ONLY KNOW THE PERSON FROM THE INTERACTION I HAVE WITH THEM HERE, WHETHER IT BE IN THE CITY OR A CLUB THAT THEY'RE INVOLVED TOO INVOLVED IN.

AND SO I GO BECAUSE I WANT TO HEAR THE REST OF THE STORY OF THE INDIVIDUALS AND IT JUST ENRICHES ME TO LEARN HOW FUNNY THEY WERE OR HOW, UH, THE OBSTACLES THEY FACED AND HOW THE CHALLENGES THEY HAD, BUT THEY STILL WENT ON AND, AND THEY'RE CONTINUED TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL LIFE.

SO I, I WAS JUST MORE BLESSED TO HEAR THE STORIES OF HAROLD POTTER AND DON MORTON.

SO I'M JUST GLAD THAT I WENT AND I, UM, PRAY FOR THEIR FAMILIES AS WELL.

VERY GOOD.

I GUESS I'LL CLOSE IT OUT, BRO.

BREAKFAST WAS A, WAS FUN.

UH, AND IT WAS NICE TO SEE, UH, EVERYBODY GATHER AFTER A

[00:40:01]

AND, UH, HOPEFULLY, UH, HOPEFULLY WE, UH, WE PUT ON A, A GOOD EVENT.

I THOUGHT IT WENT WELL.

UH, ALSO, UH, PARTICIPATED, UH, THIS LAST FRIDAY OVER AT DELL BORDATELLA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

UH, IT'S FUNNY.

THEY HAD PUT OUT SOMETHING ONLINE ABOUT WANTING OR NEEDING VOLUNTEERS.

SO I, UH, I MESSAGED THEM BACK THEN ALL VOLUNTEER AND, UH, THEY WERE VERY EXCITED THAT THE MAYOR ACTUALLY RESPONDED TO THE CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.

SO I THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF COOL.

AND AT THE SAME TIME, MY DAUGHTER GOT SOME VOLUNTEER HOURS AS WELL.

SO, UH, IT WAS NICE.

UH, IT WAS A, IT WAS GREAT.

UH, IT WAS GREAT TO BE BACK OUT IN THE SCHOOLS AS WELL AND HELP OUT THESE KIDS BECAUSE A YOUTH MENTORSHIP IS A, UH, IS A BIG PART OF WHAT WE DO HERE, THE FIVE OF US.

AND, UH, THAT'S WHAT WE ALL GET BEHIND, UH, AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS DOING WELL, BUT THAT OUR, UH, OUR KIDS ARE, ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

AND THEY ARE AT BOTH, UH, ACTUALLY ALL THREE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, UH, FULLERTON JOINT UNION, HIGH SCHOOL, LOWELL JOINT ANDELA HARBOR CITY, SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO KUDOS TO THEM.

AND YES, UH, UH, POLICE WEEK AS I CALL IT, UH, WAS, UH, WAS THIS PAST WEEK.

AND, UH, YESTERDAY WAS A, WHAT IS IT? NATIONAL POLICE OFFICER'S MEMORIAL.

UH, WE, UH, WE RECOGNIZE THOSE OFFICERS THAT HAVE, UH, HAVE FALLEN THE LINE OF DUTY AND MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

SO, UH, I WILL SAY IT AGAIN AS AN ACTIVE POLICE OFFICER, UM, UH, I WILL ALWAYS, UH, I WILL ALWAYS SALUTE OUR MEN AND WOMEN WHO NOT ONLY ARE CURRENTLY SERVING, BUT THOSE THAT HAVE, UH, HAVE FALLEN IN LINE OF DUTY.

AND YOU HAVE TWO MORE UP HERE AS WELL, THAT ARE RETIRED.

SO PROUD, PROUD TO SAY THAT.

AND, UH, AND OF COURSE TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, AGAIN, UH, FOR, UH, REMEMBERING NOW, JIM, YOU KNOW, SARNIA AS WELL.

AND, UH, WE, UH, ALTHOUGH I, I WAS NOT HERE AT THE TIME IN THE CITY, BUT, UH, WE, UH, WE ALWAYS REMEMBER, SO FOR THAT CHIEF, PLEASE TAKE THAT BACK TO THE MEN AND WOMEN.

AND, UH, WITH THAT I WILL, UH, CALL THE MEETING TO CLOSE MEETING IS NOW ADJOURNED AND MAKE SURE I'VE GOT MY NOTES HERE PROPERLY.

MEET IS NOW ADJOURNED.
