WHEN WE GET TO 4.2A AND 4.6, WE HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. OH, I KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. WE MOVED ITEM, WHY DON'T YOU -- EXPLAIN WHAT WE'RE DOING. >> ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR, WE HAVE TWO ITEMS, 4.2A, APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS AND 46A WHICH IS ADOPT RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PARK HOURS FOR OPEN SPACE. FOR THE LATER 4.6A, THAT WILL BECOME 9.6A AND HEARD ON THE REGULAR AGENDA. 4.2A THERE'S A CLERICAL CORRECTION AND THAT IS RECOMMENDATION NUMBER ONE WHICH IS ADOPT A RESOLUTION, IT'S NO LONGER NEEDED AND SHOULD BE STRUCK.

WE HAVE SPEAKERS AND I WILL START CALLING THEM. THE FIRST ONE IS STEVEN. FOLLOWED BY HEATHER. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL, STAFF, CITIZENS. I WASN'T GOING TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER AGAIN. I SPOKE ABOUT IT THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE ABOUT THE BALLOT -- THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE TO PUT THE CITY CHARGER AND CLERK UP TO APPOINTMENTS AND THE REASONS IT HAS COME BACK IN MY MIND IS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, I'VE HAD SOME PROPERTY STOLEN AND I TOOK SOME MEASURES TO SECURE IT BUT IT WAS STOLEN AND WHEN IT HAPPENED, FIRST THING THAT POPPED IN MY MIND WAS NOT, I'M SURE THE CITY IS TAKING CARE OF THINGS LIKE PUTTING THINGS LIKE THE CLERK AND TREASURY ON THE BELLIGERENT ON THE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THE POLICE NOT THAT THEY CAN BE EVERYWHERE AND THEY'RE STRETCHED THIN AND BUDGETARY ISSUES AND MANPOWER AND STUFF LIKE THAT BUT THE POLICE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY ALONG WITH THE FIRE AND THE ROADS AND ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF THINGS AND HERE WHEN I'M SITTING BEFORE THE MEETINGS, THERE'S PEOPLE CHATTERING AND IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT BALLOT MEASURE. IT'S ABOUT THE HOMELESS. IT'S ABOUT FENCING AND PERMITS. IT'S ABOUT THE RENTAL AGREEMENTS COMING UP, IT'S THE ROADS. I HAVE LIVED HERE A LONG TIME AND THERE'S ROADS THAT I CAN SWEAR HAVE NEVER BEEN MAINTAINED OTHER THAN WHEN SOMETHING IS PULLED UP TO CHANGE A PIPE HERE OR THERE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE BIG ROADS, BIG-TICKET ITEMS GET ALL THE ATTENTION. THERE'S DROUGHT ISSUES AND WATER STORAGE ISSUES AND ROAD ISSUES AND THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENT, JLI, NO, IT'S NOT YOUR DOMAIN. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THE CITY SHOULD BE DOING AND I HOPE, I KNOW THE BALLOT IS TAKEN CARE OF BUT I HOPE GOING FORWARD, THERE'S MORE ATTENTION PAID TO THESE ISSUES THAT EVERYDAY, YOU KNOW, WE STUMBLE IN THE CONVERSATION, I SAW SOME GUY, I WAS TALKING TO A GUY GETTING A WATER STORAGE BECAUSE HIS TANK IS GOING DRY SOUTH OF HERE. PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING BECAUSE OF THEIR WATER SITUATION AND MOVING HERE TO A SITUATION THAT HAS ITS OWN WATER PROBLEMS. AS I SAID, I JUST HOPE GOING FORWARD THAT WE START FOCUSING MORE ON THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE ONE LAST POINT ABOUT THE BALLOT MEASURE, IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THERE'S A POINT OF PEOPLE BEING FIRE BY THE CITY COUNCIL. I'VE BEEN HERE A COUPLE OF TIMES AND PEOPLE SUGGESTED, CITY MANAGER SUGGESTED HE SHOULD BE FIRED, WHETHER IT IS THIS BE OR NOT, IT'S NOT MY THOUGHT. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. UNLESS IT'S? CATASTROPHIC THING THAT PERSON IS GOING TO BE CRIMINALLY CHARGED FOR, ALMOST NOBODY EVER GETS FORCED OUT FROM THE COUNCIL OR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SO THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. HEATHER. FOLLOWED BY ERIC. >> IT IS NICE THERE'S A STOOL. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND ALLOWING US TO SPEAK TODAY. >> CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE CLOSER OR MOVE THE MICROPHONE BETTER SO WE CAN HEAR YOU BETTER? >> THANK YOU. >> A LITTLE LOUDER BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HEAR YOU. >> OKAY. SO, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND FOR ALLOWING US TO SPEAK TODAY. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT HOSPITAL STAFFING, CHESTER REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER IN PARTICULAR WE'RE HERE WITH OUR UNION CALIFORNIA NURSES ASSOCIATION, SO MY GRANDPA WALKED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND INTO A GOOD PAYING UNION FACTORY JOB AND HE WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY OWN HIS OWN BUSINESS. SO I WAS RAISED TO BELIEVE IF YOU WORK HARD ENOUGH, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. AND SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID, ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS BE A NURSE. LIKE MY GRANDMA, MY MOM, MY DAD AND MY GREAT GRANDMA AND MY KID WAS GROWN AND I HAVE BEEN A CRITICAL NURSE. TWO YEARS AGO COVID CHANGED THINGS BECAUSE HOSPITALS SPENT DECADES CUTTING CLOSE AND CLOSING HOSPITALS FOR PROFITS, IT WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE PANDEMIC AND JUST LIKE THE HOUSING AND BAKING INDUSTRY A DECADE PRIOR, THEY WERE BAILED OUT BY TAXES AND GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO CUT SERVICES WHILE STAYING OPEN, WHILE CRITICALLY UNDERSTAFFED. OUR TAXES PAID FOR LOW INTEREST LOANS, GRANTS AND HIGH-COST TRAVELERS AND FOR A WHILE THE HOSPITAL COULD BLAME THE STAFFING PROBLEM ON COVID EVEN THOUGH IT EXISTED BEFORE COVID. HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS DIED, RETIRED, WERE SICK, WERE CARING FOR SICK LOVED ONES AND A LOT OF NURSES LEFT FOR THOSE HIGH PAYING TRAVELING CONTRACTS. BUT OTHER FACILITIES HERE IN REDDING HAVE USED THOSE EMERGENCY FUNDS TO RETAIN STAFF BY INCREASING BONUSES AND WAGES BUT SRMC INVESTED ONLY IN UNION BUSTING, DRAGGING OUR CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS OUT FOR WELL OVER A YEAR WHILE CONTINUING TO LOSE STAFF. SO REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH TAXES ARE PAID TO PAD THE HOSPITALS BUDGET, YOUR BILLS ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE SAME BECAUSE YOU'RE BUILD BY THE ROOM, YOU'RE BUILD BY THE SERVICE, YOU'RE BILLED BY EACH INDIVIDUAL TILE NOEL. YOU'RE NOT BILLED BY THE PEOPLE WHO CHECK YOUR TEMPERATURE AND GIVE YOU THAT TILE NOEL. THE HOSPITAL CAN SEND YOU THE SAME BILL WHILE PAYING LESS AND HAVING FEWER PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, IT'S PROFITS FOR THEM. PARENTS, PATIENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS CAN HEAR US IN THE HALLWAYS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE NEXT ONCOMING STAFF IS GOING TO MANAGE WITH SO FEW PATIENTS OR SO FEW STAFF. TO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY TO ME? THEY APOLOGIZE FOR NEEDING MY TIME WHEN THEY CAN SEE I HAVE SO LITTLE. THEY THANK US FOR BEING THERE AND TELL US EVERYONE IS WONDERFUL AND EVERYONE HAS BEEN TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY FAMILY MEMBER. I'M SORRY YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. AND THAT BREAKS MY HEART BECAUSE I KNOW THAT NEXT WEEK, IT'S GOING TO BE WORSE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T LEAVE FOR WAGES ARE LEAVING NOW BECAUSE THEIR LIEU SENSES ARE AT RISK ASK THEY CAN'T TAKE OF THEIR PATIENTS. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> ERIC FOLLOWED BY DELORES. >> HI, THANK YOU, ANY NAME IS ERIC CONRADSON. I'M A LABOR REPRESENTATIVE WITH THE CALIFORNIA NURSES ASSOCIATION. I'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR 20 YEARS FROM SACRAMENTO TO REDDING AND EVEN TO RENO AND SAN FRANCISCO AT SOME POINT. SO, I'M UP HERE NOW, I HAVE REDDING AND MOUNT CHESTY AND A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT EMPLOYERS. WE'RE HERE WITH, I'M HERE WITH A GROUP SHASTA MEDICAL REGIONAL NURSES AND I HAVE WITNESSED THIS LEVEL OF TOLERANCE BY AN EMPLOYER TO OPERATE BELOW THE SAFETY STANDARDS AND BELOW THE SCOPE OF PRACTICE FOR RN'S AND BELOW WHAT I IMAGINE TO BE A PROMISE TO THE COMMUNITY OF A CERTAIN LEVEL OF CARE AND OVERSIGHT ON THEIR PART. THE RN'S AT THIS FACILITY USE A FORM CALLED AN ASSIGNMENT DESPITE OBJECTION FORM. THEY RECORD THINGS THAT THEY WANT FIXED AND DON'T GET FIXED, SO INSTEAD OF BEING INSUBORDINATE ASSIGNMENT AND AFTER GETTING A -- UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF THESE FORMS JUST FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. THE FORMS ARE WELL-KNOWN TO THE EMPLOYER AND ARE TURNED IN REGULARLY TO MANAGERS AND DIRECTORS OF THE DEPARTMENTS OR UNITS BY RN UNION MEMBERS. THE EMPLOYER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE BELOW STANDARD CARE AND WORKING CONDITIONS THROUGH THE ADO FORMS, THROUGH THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH WRITE UPS BY THE STAFF, OF SHASTA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER IN RESPOND TO RN REPORTS OF UNSAFE CONDITIONS AND UNSAFE PRACTICES. WE CAN PROVIDE COPIES OF THOSE REPORTS AND OF THE ADO'S IF YOU WOULD LIKE. THE SITUATION HAS GOTTEN WORSE BY THE REPORTS AND NOTIFICATIONS THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM STAFF RN MEMBERS, THEIR ADO FORMS AND THE CONVERSATIONS I HAVE FREQUENTLY WITH RN LEADERS AT THE FACILITY. THESE ARE EXAMPLES, I'M GOING TO STATE AND THEN I'LL PRETTY MUCH BE DONE. THE OCCURRENCES USED TO NOT BE REGULAR BUT WOULD STOP FOR A WHILE AFTER THE STAFF RN'S WOULD OBJECT AND INSIST ON SAFER STAFF OR APPROPRIATE ASSIGNMENTS. BUT NOW THEY ARE HAPPENING REGULARLY. [TIMER] THE ADO'S, I'M SKILLING THAT. I'M GOING TO MY LAST POINT. I HAVE 20 SECONDS AND THE ADO'S ARE DOCUMENTS FOR US TO PROVE THERE'S NO PLAUSIBLE DENY ABILITY ON THE EMPLOYER'S PART. IT'S A TESTING TO THE FACT THAT THE EMPLOYER KNEW WHAT WENT ON AT THEIR FACILITY. WHAT TIME AND WHO IS WAS INVOLVED. WE REALLY WANT TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE ADMINISTRATION AND WE HOPE THAT THE COUNCIL ASK THEM TO COME HERE AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT THEIR HANDLING OF THE STAFFING. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> NEXT SPEAKER IS DELORES FOLLOWED BY, IS IT MICHELLE GAFNIS. >> SIR, WOULD YOU LEAVE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION WITH THE CLERK, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU LATER? >> SURE. >> BEFORE I START MY THREE MINUTES, DO YOU MIND PUTTING UP THE SCREEN SO I COULD SHOW SOME DOCUMENTS? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DOESN'T WORK? WELL, IT WOULD BE NICE IF IT DID SO I CAN PUT THE DOCUMENT -- >> ANY NAME IS DELORES AND IN DISTRICT FOUR, SHASTA LAKE. I'M HERE BECAUSE I'M FRUSTRATED WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR TO EVERYBODY INCLUDING, I SAY IT ALL THE TIME IN THE BOARD OF SUPERVISOR, WE ARE, BASICALLY, YOU WORK FOR US. WE, THE CITIZEN ARE YOUR BOSS AND FOR, I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK THEM FOR SPEAKING. YOU HAVE THAT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO SPEAK BUT ANYWAY. I WANT TO BRING UP SOME DOCUMENTS, IF I COULD, I'LL BRING IT UP, KEVIN CRY IS, CLAIMED HE DOESN'T TAKE GOVERNMENT MONEY, BUT YET HE TOOK THE CARE ACT GRANT MONEY BY PARTNERING UP WITH THE REDDING SCHOOL DISTRICT, SO HE TOOK MONEY AND HE SAYS HE WILL FIGHT CORRUPTION. THERE'S NO WAY HE COULD FIGHT CORRUPTION BECAUSE HE'S PART OF CORRUPTION. HE'S BEEN HOLDING CONTEMPT IN THE PAST AND THIS PERSON HAS SO MANY LIENS THAT HE'S NOT CAPABLE. IF HE CAN'T MAKE DECISIONS AND MAKE REASONABLE DECISIONS TO PAY HIS BILLS FOR HIM TO BE, TRYING TO RUN FOR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, HAVING SO MANY LIENS THAT HE COULD HAVE PAID ALL THESE LIENS IS JUST OVER AND OVER AND I KNOW THEY BROUGHT UP REGARDING THE ZEO PONTE REGARDING HIS CRIMINAL HISTORY AND THIS IS PROHIBIT FOR ANYONE TO BRING UP CRIMINAL HISTORY IN THE PAST ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HIRED HIM AND THAT WAS WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG BOY. WELL, THIS YOUNG BOY, MR. KEVIN CRY IS NOT YOUNG. THIS IS RECENTLY AND HE'S GOT MULTIPLE LIENS MUCH DO WE NEED SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO MAKE BIG DECISIONS IN OUR COUNTY, OUR FUNDS? HE DIDN'T PAY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEVELOPMENT MONEY THAT HE ALSO HAS A LIEN AND THEN HE CLAIMED HE FILED AGAINST BANKRUPTCY BECAUSE HIS WIFE TOLD HIM HE HAVE TO GET OUT THERE BECAUSE I'M EXPOSING HIM SO HIS WIFE TOLD HIM TO SAY SOMETHING BECAUSE I WHAT EXPOSING HIM. HE TAKES SOMEONE TO PUSH HIM TO DO THE RIGHT THING. IT'S SAD. I HOPE YOU KEEP THIS IN MIND. WE CAN'T HAVE SOMEONE LIKE KEVIN CRY. ANOTHER THING I FOUND OUT TODAY BY ANOTHER SOURCE, HE'S TAKING MONEY FOR THE MARIJUANA. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MARIJUANA PEOPLE OR WHATEVER THEY DO, BUT WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING FOR OFFICE, YOU'RE CLAIMING TO BE FOR THE PEOPLE, YOU'RE AGAINST CERTAIN THINGS AND DON'T BE A HYPOCRITE SAYING YOU'RE AGAINST THAT AND YOU'RE TAKING MONEY SO AARON, I HOPE YOU BEAT HIM. >> THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MICHELLE FOLLOWED BY TANESA. >> HELLO, CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY IS THIS >> YES. >> OKAY. GOOD. MY NAME IS MICHELLE GAFFNEY. I'M A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY, I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR WELL OVER 20 YEARS AND I'M A REGISTERED NURSE AND I WORK IN THE INTENSIVE UNIT AT SHASTA REGIONAL. I'M WITH THE GROUP YOU'VE TALKED WITH BUT I'M GOING TO REITERATE THE CONCERNS WE HAVE. AS EVERYONE, EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM AND EVERYONE THAT WE KNOW, AT SOME POINT, WILL BECOME A PATIENT. EVERY ONE OF US AND IT IS A CONCERN. WE DESERVE TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT GOES ON WHEN YOU ENTER THE HOSPITAL. WE HAVE SPOKEN HERE BEFORE, LONG BEFORE THE PANDEMIC WITH CONCERNS REGARDING STAFFING AT SHASTA REGIONAL AND IT WAS NOT AS BAD AS IT IS NOW. NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'LL HEAR, ONE OF THE STORIES THAT YOU'LL HEAR FROM LEADERSHIP IS THAT IT IS DUE TO THE NURSING SHORTAGE RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC. WHAT THERE IS, IF YOU LOOK OVERALL, WE HAD THE LUXURY OF SEVERAL NURSING SCHOOLS HERE, IT'S NOT A NURSING SHORTAGE. IT'S A SHORTAGE OF NURSES THAT ARE WILLING TO WORK IN TERRIBLE CONDITIONS AND THEY FEEL UNSAFE. SO, WE HAVE ADDRESSED AS ERIC MENTIONED, OUR OBLIGATIONS TO OUR LICENSE BECAUSE WE'RE LICENSED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OUR OBLIGATION IS TO BE PATIENT ADVOCATES, IF WE SEE SOMETHING UNSAFE OR PATIENTS ARE NOT GETTING THE CARE THEY NEED, WE ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE MANAGEMENT AND ASK TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND THE STACK IN FRONT OF ME ARE A SMALL GROUP OF THE ASSIGNMENT DESPITE OBJECTION FORMS, SIGNED BY MULTIPLE NURSES. LITERATELY CRIES FOR HELP TO MAKE THIS DIFFERENT. WE'RE LUCKY IN CALIFORNIA THAT WE HAVE A LAW THAT LIMITS THE A. OF PATIENTS THAT A NURSE CAN TAKE AT ONE TIME. IT'S NOT BECAUSE WE'RE PARTICULARLY, WE'RE BEING LAZY. IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN PROVEN TO BE HOLD A SAFER STANDARD. IF YOUR NURSE HAS NINE PATIENTS, THAT MEANS THAT SHE HAS TO SPLIT HERSELF NINE TIMES, THAT'S RIDICULOUSLY UNSAFE. THERE'S SO MANY TASK AND IF YOU NEED THEM, YOU NEED THEM NOW. ONE OF THINGS WE HAVE DONE IS REPORTED THIS TO THE STATE AND THEY ARE AWARE BUT AGAIN, WITH THE FACT BEING THAT SHASTA REGIONAL IS USING THE EXCUSE, WELL, THE PANDEMICS AND OTHER HOSPITALS DO NOT ACCEPT PATIENTS IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE BEDS. A QUICK QUOTE FROM THE NURSING ROOM. IF THE PATIENTS CAN'T COME IN, THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH NURSES, THE AMBULANCE SIT IN THE ER BAY SOMETIMES AS LONG AS FOUR TO SIX HOURS. THAT MEANS THAT PATIENT IS NOT BEING SEEN BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THE NURSES TO SEE THEM. SO, WE'RE DOING THE CITY COUNCIL TO ASK LEADERSHIP WHY IS THIS CONTINUING TO GO ON WHERE OTHER HOSPITALS CAN GO ON DIVERSION AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION IF YOU NEED IT. >> THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> I LEFT MY MASK, SORRY. >> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS TANESA AUDETT. >> GOOD EVENING, I'M GOING TO READ THIS, IT'S QUITE A BIT SO I'LL TRY TO GET THROUGH IT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR SHRADER, COUNCIL MEMBERS, MEZZANO, AND DACQUISTO AND WINTER. I LIVE HERE IN RED AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING MYSELF ALTHOUGH FOR CONTEXT I DO WORK IN GOVERNMENT. I'M A DISTRICT REP FOR OUR STATE SENATE BUT I'M NOT REPRESENTING THEM, OTHER THAN JUST MYSELF AND THE COMMUNITY. SO MY POSITION GIVES ME A UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT WITH LOCAL -- WORKING WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND HOW LEGISLATION WORKS THROUGH SACRAMENTO AND THAT'S WHY I'M MAKING THIS SPECIFIC REQUEST. BACK IN THE SPRING, I ATTENDED A RING CITY COUNCIL MEETING WHERE I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CRISIS ON OUR RIVER. OUR FISHING GUIDES IMPLORE OUR COUNCIL TO DO SOMETHING? -- -- THE HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT EXPLODED. THERE'S A HUMAN TOLL, FISHING GUYS HAD THEIR TRUCKS AND BOATS STOLEN AND CARS PARKED AND BOAT DOCKS VANDALIZED. THEIR LIVELIHOOD WAS THREATENED WHICH FURTHER IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY. I SAW AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE BILL AB2633 INTRODUCED BY ASSEMBLYMAN COOLLY. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A STATEWIDE BILL AND I WAS HOPEFUL IT COULD HELP OUR COMMUNITY. AB263 ABOUT IS A SPECIAL PARK LANDS BILL THAT WILL DESIGNATE CERTAIN PUBLIC LANDS AROUND THE RIVER AS SPECIAL PARKLANDS FOR REMOVING UNPERMITTED CAMPERS WITHOUT HAVING A BED FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL REMOVED AND THE BILL WOULD ALLOW LAW ENFORCEMENT TO SWEEP THE CAMPS CONTAMINATING OUR SACRAMENTO RIVER AND PROTECT OUR WATERWAYS SALMON, WILDLIFE AND PROTECT THE CITY AND COUNTY FROM LAWSUITS AND THIS ISSUE IS VERY SENSITIVE BECAUSE THE COURTS RULE THAT SIMPLY MOVING THE HOMELESS FROM HERE TO THERE IS NOT THE STATE'S DESIRED SOLUTION TO THE IMPACTS THE HOMELESS CAMPS CAUSE, THE STATE PRY TIRED AND CODIFIED FISH AND WILDLIFE AND THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TODAY. THE BILL WORKED THROUGH LEGISLATURE, IT HAS BEEN REDUCED TO INCLUDE SACRAMENTO COUNTY. JAKE OF THE REDDING CHAMBER RECEIVED AN SOS FROM THE FLAG SHOP ASKING HIM TO RECONVENE A GROUP AND IMPACTED PARTIES TO FIGURE OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE. FOR YOUR PART I BELIEVE THE CITY HAS A PLAN AND EXECUTING LEGAL AND SAFE MEASURES TO GET THE POND SITE CLEANED UP BUT THE HOMELESS ISSUE IS LARGE AND WILL NOT BE SOLVED IN ONE IDEA OR AGENCY ALONE. WE NEED A STRATEGY THAT PULLS IN MANY EFFORTS, ALL WORKING TOWARDS VARIOUS GOALS. AFTER LISTENING TO THE DANGEROUS PRESENTED, I BELIEVE WE HAD A COMPELLING CASE TO ASSEMBLY DALY AND SENATOR DALY TO ASK THEM TO ADD SHASTA COUNTY TO THIS BILL TO PROTECT OUR SALMON. I ASK EACH PARTY FROM THAT MEETING TO WRITE A LETTER VOICING CONCERNS AND REQUESTING THE SUPPORT OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES AND I PACKAGE THAT INFORMATION ALONG WITH A VIDEO TO SHOW HOW BAD THE SITUATION HAS BECOME. UPON SENDING THE LETTERS OF SUPPORT THAT I BROUGHT FROM EACH, I BROUGHT A COPY FOR EACH OF YOU, ASSEMBLY DALY WENT TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER COOLLY AND MADE THE CASE TO HAVE US ADDED AND THEY INDICATED TO WORK WITH HER OFFICE TO ADD SHASTA COUNTY. HER OFFICE BELIEVES WITH YOUR RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT, OUTLINING UNIQUE THREAT TO THE SALMON HABITAT WE CAN MAKE A COMPELLING CASE TO PASS AB6322. WRITE A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF AB263 ABOUT OF THE SACRAMENTO RIVER AND NATURAL HABITAT OF WILDLIFE. I HAVE A COPY OF LETTERS FROM THE FLY SHOP, NATIONS FINEST, GRANT FISHING GUIDANCE AND THE -- I KNOW FROM THE RESPONSES -- SORRY. >> ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU -- >> I KNOW FROM THE RESPONSES YOU GAVE AND THE DIRECTION YOU GIVEN TO STAFF, THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS -- >> I HATE TO CUT YOU OFF BUT WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP EVERYBODY TO THREE MINUTES BUT IT WAS A REALLY GOOD -- [APPLAUSE] IT WAS, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW ABOUT. >> IT'S GOOD IDEA AND SOMETHING WE CAN COME UP ON ITEM 12 LATER TONIGHT. >> OKAY. FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT -- FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T STAY UNTIL THE END OF THE MEETING, AND THERE ARE MANY WHO DON'T, WE HAVE AN ITEM AT THE END OF THE AGENDA WHERE WE CAN, WITH THE CONSENSUS OF AT LEAST THREE OF US OUT OF THE FIVE COULD RESULT A NEW IDEA OR A FOLLOW UP COULD RESULT IN BRINGING SOMETHING BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR FUTURE ACTION SINCE WE DON'T TAKE DIRECT ACTION FROM ITEMS BROUGHT UP UNDER PUBLIC COMMENT. SO, STAY TUNED TO ITEM 12. YOU MIGHT LEARN MORE. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE COMING TO SPEAK TODAY. AND SPENDING YOUR TIME, WHATEVER TIME YOU CHOOSE TO SPEND WITH US, WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE. OUR NEXT ITEM IS, AN EXCITING ITEM, TOO. THIS IS THE CONSENT CALENDAR. THIS CONTAINS ITEMS ROUTINE AND WHICH HAVE BEEN SCRUTINIZED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND ANTICIPATED TO REQUIRE NO FURTHER DELIBERATION. IF A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WISHES TO ADDRESS AN ITEM ON CONSENT CALENDAR, PLEASE FILL OUT A SPEAKER REQUEST FORM AND SUBMIT IT TO THE CITY CLERK BEFORE THE CONSENT CALENDAR IS CONSIDERED. IT SHALL BE THE PREROGATIVE OF ANY COUNCILMEMBER BEFORE THE CONSENT CALENDAR IS ACTED UPON TO COMMENT ON AN ITEM OR TWO, RESPOND TO ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON AN ITEM, THREE, REQUEST THE RECORD REFLECT AN ABSTENTION OR NAY VOTE AND REMOVE AN ITEM AND PLACE IT ON THE REGULAR AGENDA FOR A DELIVERY OF A STAFF REPORT OR EXTENDED DISCUSSION OR DELIBERATION. SO, DO I HAVE ANY, I HAVE COUNCILMEMBER WINTER. >> THANK YOU, ACTUALLY, I HAVE A COUPLE OF THESE THAT I WANTED TO BRING FORWARD FOR STAFF. THE FIRST, I WANT TO DO A SHOUT-OUT, IF YOU HAVE YOUR AGENDA, 41D AND 4.1E, THIS IS THE SALE OF TWO PARCELS AT STILLWATER BUSINESS PARK, SO THANK YOU STAFF AND THE EDC AND ALL THOSE THAT HAVE WORKED ON MAKING THESE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENTS WITH THE GROUPS BUT WE'RE GLAD TO SEE THESE LOTS SELL FOR SURE. I WANTED TO ASK ON, IS MR. ZETTELOR HERE FROM RU? >> HE'S NOT HERE. >> PERHAPS YOU CAN SPEAK TO THIS ONE, 4.1B, THIS IS ON THE AVE TECH PARKWAY, THE SURPLUS PROPERTY AND WHY WE'RE SELLING THAT AND WHAT YOU THINK THE USE OF THOSE PROPERTIES MIGHT BE BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING THEY'RE CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT RUNWAY? >> THESE PROPERTIES ARE TO THE EAST OF THE RU BUILDING, THE ADD TECH BUILDING ON ADD TECH BROADWAY. IF YOU THINK OF THE HEADQUARTERS AND THE LOT WILL BE MAINTAINED. THEY WERE PURCHASED IN 2013 OR SO WITH THE IDEA THAT AS THINGS WERE EXPANDING, WE MAY NEED ROOM FOR A NEW CORPORATION YARD WHERE THE RU YEAR WOULD BE PLACED AND LOCATED. THAT WOULD BE OUR LINEMAN AND LINE TRUCKS, WAREHOUSE AND OTHER PIECES OF EQUIPMENT AND IN THE PROCEEDING YEARS, THAT'S BEEN DETERMINED NOT TO BE NECESSARY SO THE PROPERTIES HAVE RECEIVED SOME INTEREST FROM VARIOUS PARTIES, THEY DO ABUT THE AIRPORT PROPER BUT AS THE COUNCIL KNOWS BEFORE WE CAN DO ANYTHING WITH THAT, WE HAVE TO DECLARE THESE SURPLUS. WAS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA IS DECLARE THOSE SURPLUS AND WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE, ANY COMPANIES, NONPROFITS THAT WOULD BE WISHING TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING OUT THERE. IF NOT, THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH MARKET AND FOR SALE. >> THANK YOU. AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION WAS ABOUT 4.2A, AND YOU STRUCK THE FIRST RESOLUTION, BUT THE SECOND ONE, I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU COULD SPEAK A LITTLE TO THE EMERGENCY OCCUPATION, OCCUPANCY AGREEMENT AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO IT HERE OR THE NOR POND DISCUSSION LATER ON. >> THE CITY COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO HAVE ON GOING EFFORTS TO DEAL WITH OUR HOMELESS ISSUE RANGING BACK TO THE SHELTER CRISIS THAT WAS DECLARE BY THE COUNCIL IN JUNE OF 2021. THIS IS JUST A CONTINUATION OF THAT. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED FUNDS AND WE'VE IDENTIFIED A PROGRAM OPERATOR THAT IS WILLING TO WORK WITH US AND WE'RE ASKING FOR THE AUTHORIZATION FOR UP TO $2,535,000 -- $235,000 FROM THE HOUSING. NO GENERAL FUND, TO WORK TO PROCURE FOR SIX MONTHS, 32 SUPPORTIVE UNITS SO WE COULD ASSIST INDIVIDUALS GET OFF THE STREET AND GET INTO PROGRAMS SO THEY MAY BECOME PERMANENTLY HOUSED. >> THANK YOU. >> OKAY. MAYOR PRO TEM MEZZANO. >> THANK YOU, THIS IS FOR MR. DARLA. 4.02D, THE PROPERTY AT STILLWATER. I KNOW THIS IS A SWITCH OF THE CUSTOMER GOING FROM ONE LOT TO THE NEXT. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS COMPANY AND PLEASE, IF YOU COULD ENLIGHTEN US, I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THE SELL OF IT BUT THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY AND I LEARNED THIS FROM OUR EDC, IS ABLE TO TAKE TIRES AND PLASTIC BOTTLES AND MAKE DIESEL FUEL OR SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINE AND I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THAT PROCESS IN THE EVENT THAT AN INCIDENT OCCURS, IF THAT PRODUCT WERE TO GET INTO THE WATER SYSTEM EITHER THROUGH GROUND ABSORPTION OR STORM DRAINS AND OR FIRE, THERE'S GOT TO BE A PROCESS THAT PROTECTS US IF IN THE EVENT THIS SELL GOES THROUGH. >> I'LL TAKE THAT. SO, WE DON'T KNOW A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT ABOUT THAT PROCESS. SOME IS PROPRIETARY AS YOU IMAGINE. THE PROCESS TO SELL THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE TO ENTER INTO ESCROW AND THE ESCROW WILL HAVE CONTINGENCIES FOR IT TO CLOSE. ONE OF THOSE CONTINGENCIES IS FROM THE BUYER'S PERSPECTIVE IS TO MAKE SURE THEY GET ALL THEIR ENTITLEMENTS AND PERMITS, SO THEY CAN BUILD. DURING THAT PROCESS, WE'LL BE LOOKING VERY CLOSELY AT THAT OPERATION. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS AS WELL OUR PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND STORMWATER FOLKS ENVIRONMENTAL WASTE, ELSE IN MAKING SURE ALL PROCESSES HAVE PROPER MITIGATIONS IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATION, WE'LL BE ABLE TO DISCHARGE INTO THE SEWER SYSTEM OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE, SO THAT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF DURING THE PERMITTING PROCESS. >> GREAT, THANK YOU. MY SECOND QUESTION, MR. OCLAND, ARE YOU OUT THERE? DO YOU HAVE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME, PLEASE. ON 4.11B, I GET EXCITED WHEN I SEE $453,000 FOR A THREE AXEL SIDE LOADER. THAT'S A GARBAGE TRUCK. >> YES, SIR. >> I KNOW THAT THIS PURCHASE IS PART OF ROLLING STOCK REPLACING AN OLD TRASH TRUCK BUT IT'S MOTIVATED BY NEW LEGISLATION. CAN YOU ELABORATE FOR US BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY WE'LL BE PRODUCING OUR PURCHASING OVER THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. >> THIS TRUCK IS A SIDE LOAD SO YOU'LL SEE IT IN YOUR RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND IT PULLS THE CART UP AND OVER AND THE UNIT FIXED ON TOP IS CALL A ROAD A BACK. IT CAN CONDENSE AND COMPRESS THE MATERIAL AND HAS SEALS ON IS SO PROVIDING LEAKING. THAT WILL HELP US, WHAT YOU'RE ALLUDING TO, WE'RE BEGINNING TO BE MANDATED TO NOT HAVE ANY ORGANICS INTO OUR LANDFILL AND SO THIS WILL ALLOW THE PICKUP OF COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL FOOD WASTE IN PARTICULAR SO IT DOESN'T CAUSE PROBLEMS ON THE ROADWAYS AND OTHERS AND WE CAN TAKE IT AND DISPOSE AS WE CAN WITH COMPOST AND OTHER THINGS AND IT'S A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE. YOU MENTIONED $453,000 BUT IT'S $15,000 MORE THAN A REGULAR SIDE LOAD, HOWEVER, WE'RE PURCHASING THIS OFF THE SOURCE CONTRACT AND WE GET NEARLY A $60,000 DISCOUNT BY PURCHASING OFF THAT NET OPERATIVE AGREEMENT. IT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT AND REPLACE THE 16 SIDE LOADS WE HAVE WITH HALF THESE UNITS SO THEY'RE FLEXIBILITY TO UTILIZE AND THEN ALSO WE STILL WANT TO KEEP? OF THE OTHER ONES BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOOD WITH THE RECYCLED MATERIALS BECAUSE THEY CONDENSE IT AND COMPRESS IT TOO MUCH AND WE TRY TO HAND SORT IT AND IT'S A PROBLEM. >> THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW TRUCKS, YOU'LL KEEP UP WITH THE MANDATES COMING OUT OF SACRAMENTO? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> FOR ORGANIC WASTE? >> THEY'LL BE MORE. >> THANK YOU. GOOD INVESTMENT >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, DO I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND? >> I'D BE HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE CONSENT CALENDAR. >> CAN I CLARIFY WITH THE CHANGES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING? >> YES. >> THANK YOU. WITH THE CHANGES AND ARE THERE ANY QUESTION OR COMMENTS? OKAY. I'LL I HAVE A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE >> ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT ITEM IS ITEM 9.1F, CONSIDER CONSULTING AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH BERRY MCNEIL AND PARKER, LLC FOR ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING ERP AND IMPLEMENTATION CONSULTANT SERVICES. >> THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO A DISCUSSION WE HAD WHEN THE COUNCIL APPROVED THE CONTRACT WITH GRANICUS TO INSTALL OUR NEW ERP SYSTEM. PART WAS IDENTIFYING RESOURCES TO GET THIS NEW SYSTEM INSTALLED AND DO IT IN A MANNER THAT'S EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE SO MR. ROBIN IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A RUNDOWN OF THE CONTRACT AND WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION IS. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. WELCOME. >> THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL. HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS, AS BERRY MENTIONED OUR RESOURCE PLAN WE IDENTIFIED FOR HELPING US IMPLEMENT THE RP. AS MENTIONED IN THE STAFF REPORT, A PROJECT OF THIS NATURE IS A TREMENDOUS UNDERTAKING FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND IT IDENTIFIED FROM GRAVITON IN THE KIND RFP WAS 15,000 HOURS OF CITY TIME DEDICATED TO THIS PROJECT. THAT WILL HAPPEN OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT TWO YEARS WHICH IF YOU DO THE MATH ON THAT, THAT'S ABOUT FOUR FULL TIME POSITIONS FOR TWO YEARS AND WE BELIEVE IT'S IN OUR BEST INTEREST FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS THAT I'LL TALK ABOUT FOR A SECOND, TO UTILIZE BERRYDUNN ON TO OFFSET THE NEEDS AS WE IMPLEMENT THIS SORRY. BERRY DUNN BRINGS EXPERTISE IN THESE TYPES OF IMPLEMENTATIONS FOR GOVERNMENTS AND SO, WE'LL BE ABLE TO LEVERAGE THEIR EXPERTISE WITH PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND FINANCE AREAS, HR AREAS TO ACTUALLY MAKE THE OUTCOME OF OUR PROJECT HOPEFULLY EVEN BETTER THAN WE COULD OTHERWISE DO WHILE MITIGATING THE NEED TO HIRE FULL-TIME POSITIONS TO HELP US IMPLEMENT THIS PROJECT. QUICK UPDATE ON THE PROJECT, WE HAVE SIGNED AGREEMENTS WITH CHERRY ROAD APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 21ST. WE'RE ACTIVELY IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING STARTED ON THE PROJECT WITH GRAVITON AND WE HAVE THEM OUT THIS WEEK AND IT'S GETTING GOING VERY QUICKLY, VERY FAST AND SO, THAT'S THE REASON THIS AGREEMENT IS IN FRONT OF COUNCIL THIS EVENING IS TO HELP MEET THE TIMELINE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MEET FOR THIS PROJECT. THAT TIMELINE AS A REMINDER IS TO GO LIVE WITH THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON JULY 1, 2023, WHICH IS BASICALLY 11 MONTHS FROM NOW AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT WITH PERSONNEL ON JANUARY 1, 2024. WE STILL BELIEVE THOSE TIMELINES WILL BE MET AND WE BELIEVE THIS CONTRACT IS A FANTASTIC USE OF OUR RESOURCES TO HELP US MEET THOSE TIMELINES AND MAKE A PROJECT TO MAXIMIZE THIS NEW ERI PRODUCT. I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND BERRY, DAVID WITH BERRY DUNN IS HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OF THEM SPECIFICALLY OF THE AGREEMENT. >> THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> IF I'M UNDERSTANDING THE STAFF REPORT CORRECTLY, THIS REPLACES FOUR INDIVIDUALS? >> ROUGHLY. I MEAN -- >> 15,000 HOURS. >> IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ALL OF THAT. IT'S GOING TO BE A COMPONENT OF THAT AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO UTILIZE SOME OVERTIME, YOU KNOW, EXEMPT EMPLOYEES WORKING ADDITIONAL HOURS TO GET THE REST OF THE WAY THERE BUT WE THINK THIS WILL PUT A SIGNIFICANT DENT IN THAT NUMBER OF HOURS TO MITIGATE THE NEED TO HIRE ANYBODY WHILE ALSO PROVIDING US WITH A RESOURCE IN THESE TYPES OF IMPLEMENTATIONS TO HELP US SEE THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER DONE THESE THINGS. MATTER OF FACT, IT'S IN THE STAFF REPORT BUT THEY'RE IN A PROJECT RIGHT NOW WITH A GRAVITON AND ORACLE, BUT NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE THE EXPERTISE BUT DOING IT WITH THE SET UP WITH A COUNTY IN OREGON. >> MY SECOND QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU FEEL? >> I'M EXCITED BUT NERVOUS. IT'S A LOT OF WORK. YOU LOOK AT 15,000 HOURS OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS, IT'S NOT ALL FINANCE BUT THAT MAKES ME NERVOUS BUT I'M EXCITED TO HAVE EXPERTS LIKE BERRYDUNN TO HELP US AND REEVALUATE OUR BUSINESS AND HELP US BETTER AS A COMMUNITY AS A RESULT. >> I WAS INQUIRING ABOUT HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT TALKING IN FRONT OF A FULL HOUSE. >> IT'S VERY EXCITING AND I'LL ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO HANG AROUND IN A MONTH WHEN PRESENTING OUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION. THAT'S THE ONE THAT I THINK PEOPLE DO NEED TO HEAR AND IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT AND THAT'S UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T HAVE THIS MANY PEOPLE HERE BUT YEAH IT'S EXCITING. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GETTING THE NEEDED EXPERTISE THAT WILL MAKE OUR, IT WILL MAKE IT MORE COST EFFECTIVE FOR US TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO. SO THANK YOU. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, DO I HAVE A MOTION? >> I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH BERRYDUNN. >> SECOND. >> A MOTION AND SECOND. ANY OTHER COMMENT. >> AYE. >> ANY OPPOSED >> AYE. >> THANK YOU FOR VISITING WITH US. >> TO MR. LEADBETTER. 9.2 IS THE NEXT ITEM. ADOPT FOUR RESOLUTIONS FOR BLOCK 7 NORTH BLOCK DEVELOPMENT. BLOCK 7 NORTH. >> MR. BAY. >> GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. FOR CLARIFICATION, THE BLOCKS IS A SERIES OF PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING DEVELOPED BETWEEN TAMEMA EAST OF CALIFORNIA. AND FOR THIS EVENING, THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU RELATES TO AND I'M GOING TO ORIENT YOU SO WHEN YOU'RE CONSIDERING BLOCK 7, WE WANT TO ORIENT THE COUNCIL AND COMMUNITY. THE MID-BLOCK AREA IS RIGHT IN THIS AREA BETWEEN BUTTE WHICH IS BUTTE STREET HERE, THE STREET TO THE SOUTH. THIS IS THE INCOME QUALIFYING HOUSING PROJECT THAT INCLUDES THREE MAIN BUILDINGS THAT ARE INTERCONNECTED AND IT HAS ABOUT 79 UNITS AND THEN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE NORTH BLOCK, THIS IS THE NORTH BLOCK, IT'S BETWEEN TEHAMA STREET AND BUTTE STREET. THIS IS REALLY THE FIVE STORY COMMERCIAL TOWER AT THE NORTH END AND THEN IN THE MIDDLE, YOU HAVE THE EXISTING MULTI-LEVEL PARKING STRUCTURE AND THEN ON THE END, THERE'S A FUTURE MARKET RATE MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL BE PART OF THAT BLOCK 7 PROJECT SITE. IT HELPS YOU ORIENT THINGS A LITTLE BIT. EXCUSE ME. THEN ALSO AS PART OF THIS, WE ALSO HAVE THE PARK PROJECT. YOU'LL NOTE THAT IN THE STAFF REPORT IS CONSIDERED THE PLAZA PROJECT AND SO NOT TO CONFUSE ANYBODY BUT MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION. THE PARK IS ACTUALLY IN THIS SECTION JUST SOUTH OF THE MAIN SHASTA COLLEGE DOWNTOWN CAMPUS. AND THE COUNCIL WILL REMEMBER THAT IN JUNE, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE PARK DEDICATION EASEMENT AGREEMENT THAT WILL DEED THE PROPERTY THAT, SUBJECT PROPERTY WHERE THE PLAZA WILL BE BUILT TO CITY. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY IN ESCROW AND WE DID RECEIVE WORD TODAY THAT THE FINAL DOCUMENTS WERE SIGNED AND SIGNED -- I ANTICIPATE THAT ESCROW WILL CLOSE IN TWO WEEKS. AND THIS NEXT SLIDE IS JUST, I DON'T KNOW. IT'S LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF EYE CANDY. IT'S TO GIVE YOU WHAT DOWNTOWN WILL LOOK LIKE AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THEY DID A NICE MODELING OF THE BLOCK SEVEN PROJECT AND HOW IT INTERCONNECTS WITH THE LANDSCAPE. IN THE CORNER, YOU CAN SEE A CLIP OF THE COURTHOUSE BEING CONSTRUCTED AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THE BLOCK 7 PROJECT INTERACTS WITH OTHER BUILDINGS LIKE THE LORENZ AND MARKET CENTER PROJECT SO I LIKE TO GIVE THAT AS A NICE VISUAL. TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT, STAFF IS SEEK APPROVAL OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE NORTH BLOCK DA. THE PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES IMPACT FEE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT AND ACCEPTING THE AWARD OF THE CALIFORNIA, IT'S THE CLEAN CALIFORNIA LOCAL GRANT PROGRAM. THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS TO, THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE NORTH BLOCK DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SERVES AS A CONTRACTUAL THAT CONNECTS THE BLOCK 7 AGREEMENT BY EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF WORK TO INCLUDE THE PLAZA PROJECT AND INCLUDES THE ADDITIONAL LAYERS OF FUNDING SOURCES TO FACILITATE THE PARK DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND THEN ALSO FURTHER DEFINES THE DEVELOPERS OBLIGATIONS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WORK, THE FINAL PLANS AND THE GRANT RESTRICTION AGREEMENTS. THE ESTIMATED TOTAL COST OF THE PLAZA PROJECT IS APPROXIMATELY $4.7 MILLION. THE PLAZA PROJECT IMPROVEMENT WILL BE FUNDED BY THE PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES IMPACT FEES AND THEN ALSO THE CLEAN CALIFORNIA LOCAL GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS. THE PARK FACILITIES IMPACT FEE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT PROVIDES $780,000 IN REIMBURSEMENT FOR ELIGIBLE PARK EXPENSES AND PARK FEES ARE RELATED TO THE BLOCK 7 AGREEMENT AND MARKET CENTER PROJECTS. THE AGREEMENT REQUIRES CITY APPROVAL FOR THE FINAL DESIGN AWARDED THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AND ALSO CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION. AS THE SIDE NOTE THE COMMUNITY SERVES AS ADVISORY COMMITTEE REVIEWED THIS PROPOSAL AND THEY SUPPORT THE PROJECT AND THE FUNDING AGREEMENT. IN MARCH 2022, THE CITY AND THE MCCONNEL FOUNDATION WERE AWARDED $3.9 MILLION FROM THE CALTRANS CLEAN CALIFORNIA LOCAL GRANT PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM IS A COMPETITIVE PROGRAM CREATED TO BEAUTIFY AND CLEAN UP LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS, TRIBAL LANDS AND PARKWAYS AND TRANSIENT CENTERS AND OTHER PUBLIC SPACES. IN ORDER TO UTILIZE THE CCLG PROGRAM FUNDS, STAFF IS REQUESTING COUNCIL TO ACCEPT THE GRANT AND APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AMENDING CITY'S BUDGET TO ACCOMMODATE THE PLAZA PROJECT FUNDS. FOR THE BLOCK 7 PROJECT OR FOR THE BLOCK 7 PROJECT INFRASTRUCTURE COST, THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH A COMBINATION OF RAU CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS AND A PORTION OF SECTION 108 LOAN PROGRAM FUNDS. THE SECTION 108 PROGRAM PROVIDES CDBG RECIPIENTS WHICH THE CITY IS IN ENTITLEMENT AND JURISDICTION WITH THE ABILITY TO LEVERAGE ANNUAL GRANT ALLOCATIONS TO ACCESS LOW COST FLEXIBLE FINANCING FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. THE SECTION 108 PROGRAM LOAN FUNDS ARE BORROWED BY THE CITY AND REPAID BY THE CITY THROUGH PLEDGING FUTURE OR FUTURE CBGD OVER 20 YEARS. ON THE LOAN APPLICATION, $2.8 MILLION UTILIZED TO FUND BLOCK 7 INFRASTRUCTURE COST ASSOCIATED WITH CALIFORNIA STREET A, THE CALIFORNIA ALLEY WAY AND BOTH BUTTE AND UBA STREET. THESE ARE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO EXTEND THE CURRENT IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETE WITH THE MARKET CENTER PROJECT EXTENDING BUTTE AND UVA STREET OUT TO CALIFORNIA STREET AND BASICALLY RESTORING OUR DOWNTOWN GRID. THE REMAINING $700,000 IS TOWARD A FACADE PROGRAM TO ASSIST DOWNTOWN PROPERTY OWNER WAS FACADE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE FACADE PROGRAM POLICY WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION FOLLOWING HUD'S FINAL APPROVAL, SECTION 108 LOAN PACKAGE. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND LET YOU KNOW THAT I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. I KNOW THERE'S A NUMBER OF RECOMMENDATIONS BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS, THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER RESNER? >> MY QUESTIONS ARE ACTUALLY FOR DIRECTOR NEMER IN REGARD TO PARKS. >> YES, MA'AM. >> I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY A COUPLE OF THINGS. WAS THIS THE AGREED UPON DESIGN OR SCOPE OR THAT WHEN THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY PITCHED. >> WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS BUT WE'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH DEVELOPMENT TEAM AND THE DESIGN TEAM WHICH IS FIRST RATE GROUP OF PROFESSIONALS SO WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE ON DESIGN AND WE HAVE FEW FIXES BUT WE'RE, YEAH, WE'RE WORKING IN LOCK STEP WITH THE DESIGN TEAM AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WILL BE A SPECTACULAR SMALL PARK WITH A GREAT, I THINK, GATHERING PLACE AND MAGNET FOR THE COMMUNITY IN THIS DOWNTOWN LOCATION. >> THEN, MY OTHER QUESTION IS THAT IN STAFFORD PORT, AGREES CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AND CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS. WILL THIS PARK FOLLOW A SIMILAR, A SIMILAR REQUIREMENT IN LOW BIDDERS OR CONTRACTORS, DOES THE CITY OR DEVELOPER HAVE ANY SAY ON WHO IS AWARDED THAT CONTRACT SO IT'S DONE WELL? MY CONCERN IS WE'VE HAD SOME LESS THAN SUBSTANTIAL PLAYERS IN THAT SPACE RECENTLY AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PARK AND IT'S DONE WELL. >> YES. SO, BOTH THE CITY PROCEDURES BUT ALSO THE CLEAN CALIFORNIA GRANT REQUIREMENTS REQUIRE A PUBLIC BIDDING PROCESS AND AWARD TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIVE BIDDER. >> SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY SORT OF SAY IN THAT IN TERMS OF BEST BIDDER. >> WE'LL GO OUT FOR COMPETITIVE BID. >> ALL RIGHT. THANKS. >> WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FROM VICE MAYOR DACQUISTO. >> THANK YOU, MS. NEMER. IT WILL BE A CITY OWNED PARK WHEN DONE? >> YES. >> THE CITY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING IT? >> THIS WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE P-BID THAT'S BEING DISCUSSED WITH MR. BAY, WITH THE DOWNTOWN PROPERTY OWNERS. >> FOR THE AUDIENCE, THAT'S THE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AT THE LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS ARE GOING TO DO? >> CORRECT. >> THE ANTICIPATION IS THE FUNDING FOR THE MAINTENANCE WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH THAT GROUP AND TAKEN CARE OF THAT WAY? >> YES. >> IS THAT RIGHT? >> YES. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> COULD YOU ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO -- TO SHARE OUR APPRECIATION WITH SOME OF THE PARTNERS WITH BLOCK 7 AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE BACONA FOUNDATION, SHANNON PHILLIPS AND ALAN NOD AND IF ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE RECOGNITION, LET ME KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ANYBODY OUT. THIS IS ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE OF PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS THAT HAVE GONE WELL AND WE HAVE ADDED ANOTHER PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STATE, WITH THE CALTRANS FUNDING THAT WAS COMPETITIVE, WHICH PEOPLE MIGHT NOT HAVE REALIZED THE DEPTH OF THE STATES FUNDING, YOU KNOW, THROUGH CALTRANS TO HELP CITIES BECOME MORE ATTRACTIVE AND HAVE BETTER USEFUL SPACE IN OUR CORE AREA. >> AND A BIG SHOUT-OUT TO THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM BECAUSE THEY WROTE EXCELLENT PROPOSAL FOR A VERY COMPETITIVE PROCESS AND GOT A SIZEABLE AWARD, SO KUDOS ALL THE WAY AROUND. >> GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. >> MAY I? >> YEAH. >> I HAVE ATTENDED THE C-SACK MEETINGS AND I'M EXCITED FOR WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING. I HAVE LISTENING TO YOUR CONSULTANTS AND I'VE HAD OPINIONS ABOUT THEIR IDEAS AND HAVE I BEEN ASSURED BY OUR CITY MANAGER, IT'S GOING TO ROCK THE WORLD WHEN YOU GET DONE SO THANK YOU TO THE PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WITH K2 AND THE MCCONNEL FOUNDATION. I'M EXCITED FOR DOWNTOWN AREA TO HAVE A PARK LIKE THAT. >> THANK YOU. OKAY. SO, DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? >> I MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I'LL SECOND. >> WE HAVE A SECOND. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR. >> AYE. >> IT PASSES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. >> OKAY. OUR NEXT ITEM IS 9.3A. CONSIDER PRESENTATION REGARDING CITY OF REDDING'S EVACUATION ZONE MAP. >> THANK YOU. THIS IS OUR ON GOING EFFORTS AS DIRECTED BY COUNCIL TO CONTINUE WORKING ON FIRE RESILIENCY, FIRE PREPAREDNESS AND THE GIS DIVISION OF OUR IT DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WORKING ON EVACUATION ZONE MAPPING, SO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR GIS MANAGERS, STEVE KINCAID TO GIVE US AN OVERVIEW AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THIS MAY BE THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY, MR. KINCAID HAS HAD TO PRESENT TO THE COUNCIL, SO FEEL FREE TO ASK HIM LOTS OF QUESTIONS. [LAUGHTER] SO HE'LL WANT TO COME BACK FOR MORE. >> ABSOLUTELY. I BELIEVE IN TRANSPARENCY AND I THINK WE'RE DOING A REALLY GREAT JOB. >> SPEAK CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE SOMEWHERE. >> SURE. >> LET ME SEE HERE. >> IS THAT BETTER? >> YES. >> THANK YOU, BERRY FOR THAT INTRODUCTION AND GOOD EVENING MAYOR SCHREDER AND MEMBERS. I'M HERE TO SHARE THE CITYWIDE EVACUATION ZONES AND GENERAL MAPPING, THE MAPPING OF WILDFIRES IN THE NORTH STATE. AND SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT GIS IS, GIS IS SHORT FOR GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND IT'S A SYSTEM THAT CREATES AND ANALYZES AND MATCHES ALL SORTS OF DATA AND YOU KNOW, WHAT IT DOES IS THAT IT, YOU KNOW, HELPS OUR USERS UNDERSTAND PATTERNS AND RELATIONSHIPS AND BUILDS A GEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT FOR THEM AND THEN YOU KNOW, BENEFITS OF THIS IS GOING TO BE BETTER COMMUNICATION, BETTER PLANNING, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO DO, KNOW, BETTER MANAGEMENT AND BETTER DECISION-MAKING ESPECIALLY IN REGARD TO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WHEN THAT REALLY COUNTS. SO JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND, JUST A BRIEF BACKGROUND IN OUR DIVISION IS I'VE BEEN HERE AT THE CITY FOR 11 YEARS BUT OUR GIS DIVISION HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1995 AND ORIGINALLY PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT BUT NOW WE'RE UNDER INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. WE'RE A DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE A STAFF OF FIVE PERSONNEL THAT SUPPORTS ALMOST EVERY DEPARTMENT HERE AT THE CITY. WE HAVE OVER FIVE HUNDRED DATA LAYERS WE MAINTAIN AND USE AND A MAJORITY OF THOSE LAYERS WE MAKE PUBLIC ON OUR PUBLIC, OUR PUBLIC FACING MAP APPLICATION. SO YOU COULD SEE THAT INFORMATION IF YOU GO TO THE CITY'S WEBSITE. AND THEN WE SUPPORT IN-HOUSE APPLICATIONS ALSO IN THE CITY. THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND INTEGRATED LAND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. WE ALSO SUPPORT PUBLIC WORKS, ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, CODIFY GRAPH AND WORK WITH THE SAFETY NETWORK AND SUPPORT THEIR SPILLMAN IN DISPATCHING SO WE SUPPORT DEPARTMENTS AND APPLICATIONS BUT I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK IN REGARD TO EVACUATION ZONES AND SO, TO KIND OF EXPLAIN HOW WE GOT HERE IS THAT IT REALLY ALL STEM FROM THE CAR FIRE AND WHEN THE CAR FIRE HAPPENED FOUR YEARS AGO, OUR DEPARTMENT, WE WEREN'T WELL VERSED IN DOING MAPPING IN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT BUT WHEN THE FIRE APPROACHED THE CITY AND CAME INTO THE CITY, WE KNEW WITH THE TOOLS THAT WE HAD AVAILABLE TO US IS THAT YOU KNOW, WE WANTED TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING AND SO, AT THE TIME, IT'S UNFORTUNATE, THE PREVIOUS GIS MANAGER LOST HIS JOB AND HE CAME AND STAYED WITH US AND WE BRAINSTORMED AND WE WERE LOOKING, WE WERE SEARCHING THE INTERNET ABOUT WHAT'S AVAILABLE IN REGARD TO MAP AND INFORMATION AND DATA IN REGARD TO THE CAR FIRE? WE JUST FOUND THAT THERE WAS JUST A LOT OF VARIOUS INFORMATION, STATIC INFORMATION, NOT REALLY USEFUL INFORMATION AND SO AT THAT POINT, I THINK WE DECIDED TO DEVELOP OUR IN-HOUSE APPLICATION AND WE ORIGINALLY CALLED IT THE CAR FIRE VIEWER AND WHAT IT WAS IS AND WE STILL HAVE IT TO, IT'S JUST RE-BRANDED BUT IT WAS A WAY THAT WE WERE GOING TO AGGREGATE AUTHORITATIVE INFORMATION FROM SOURCES LIKE NASA FOR HOTSPOTS OR INFORMATION FROM THE NATIONAL INTERAGENCY OF FIRE CENTER FOR DOING FIRE PERIMETERS, ROAD CLOSURES AND AGAIN, EVACUATION ZONES SO WE WOULD AGGREGATE THIS INFORMATION TO A MAP APPLICATION AND SHARE IT WITH THE PUBLIC TO TRY TO REDUCE CONFUSION AND HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND KIND OF WHAT IS BASICALLY GOING ON WITH THE FIRE. NOW, THIS INFORMATION IS NOT LIVE BUT IT BECAME A REALLY VALUABLE, I BELIEVE IT BECAME A VALUABLE SOURCE TO THE PUBLIC AND WE SAW PROBABLY OVER A MILLION HITS TO OUR MAP OVER THE DURATION OF THE CAR FIRE HEARSE AND DELTA FIRE. WE KNEW IT WAS GETTING USED QUITE A BIT. NOW, SPECIFICALLY TO EVACUATION ZONES IS THAT, A DATA EVACUATION ZONES, WE ALWAYS FOUND, WE WERE MAINLY REACTIVE VERSES PROACTIVE AND WHAT I MEAN IS THAT DURING THE CAR FIRE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT DATA AVAILABLE, WE WOULD BE BASICALLY CREATING EVACUATION ZONES ON THE FLY BASED ON INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVED FROM EMERGENCY RESPONDERS OR PEOPLE OUT IN THE FIELD AND SO THAT'S HOW WE GOT THAT INFORMATION OUT ON THE MAP. AND THEN THAT KIND OF PERSISTED THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS THAT WE WOULD BE RELIANT ON OTHER AGENCIES TO DEVELOP THESE EVACUATION ZONES FOR OUR CITY OR FOR OUTSIDE OF THE CITY AND WE WOULD REQUEST THIS INFORMATION BUT BECAUSE WE WERE A CITY YOU, WE WOULD BE RELIANT ON AGAIN, CAL FIRE OR THE COUNTY TO GET US THIS INFORMATION AND PEOPLE WERE COMFORTABLE WITH USING THIS TOOL SO WE WANTED TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT TO THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING THIS INFORMATION. AND SO, LAST YEAR DURING THE FONG FIRE, THIS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT AND SO SHASTA COUNTY GIS, WHO WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH AND WE BELIEVE IN DATA SHARING BETWEEN THEM AND US AND A LOT OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS IS THEY WORKED WITH A VENDOR WHO DELINEATED COUNTYWIDE EVACUATION ZONES AND A DERIVATIVE OF THIS WAS SHASTA COUNTY SHARED THESE ZONES JUST MAYBE ROUGHLY A FEW MONTHS AGO. AND THEN FROM THAT, WE TOOK THAT DATA LARA AND I REACHED OUT TO ASSISTANT DIRECTOR SHERRIE AND OTHER DEPARTMENT HEADS AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS INFORMATION AND BUILD THIS OUT CITYWIDE AND WE THINK THAT IT COULD BE EXTREMELY USEFUL TOOL IN TIMES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT NOT ONLY JUST FOR FIRE BUT FOR FLOODING OR ANY SORT OF DISASTER. AND SO, I MET WITH ASSISTANT DIRECTOR DEMAG AND DIRECTOR OCLAND AND DEPARTMENT HEADS FOR A KICK-OFF MEETING FOR COORDINATION AND FOR COORDINATION AND DIRECTION AND FROM THERE, WE MET WITH VARIOUS DEPARTMENT HEADS AFTER THAT TO BASICALLY KIND OF QAQC AND FURTHER MODIFY OUR CITYWIDE EVACUATION ZONES TO BETTER REPRESENT OUR GEOGRAPHY AND PHOTOGRAPHY. SO WE MET WITH -- TOPOGRAPHY AND WE MET WITH OUR TRANSPORTATION PLANNER AND MET WITH THE SUPERVISOR FOR STREETS, ALL KEY PERSONNEL WHO HAVE STAKE IN AND BUY-IN TO TIMES WHEN THERE'S EVACUATIONS AND EMERGENCIES. AND THEN REAL QUICKLY ON THE SCREEN, THIS IS OUR NEW WILDFIRE VIEWER. WE JUST RECENTLY REVAMPED IT TO BE BETTER WITH MOBILE DEVICES AND SO AGAIN THIS IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AND THIS IS -- WHERE YOU CAN FIND INFORMATION ABOUT FIRE PERIMETERS ASK HOTSPOTS AND THIS IS -- AND HOTSPOTS AND THIS IS WHERE WE SHARE OUR EVACUATION ZONES IN TIMES OF DISASTER FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE. ON THE SCREEN, THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE THE DATA WAS AND HOW IT HAS CHANGED AND SO ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE WAS A MAP SHOWING THESE ZONES AND ON THE RIGHT, IF YOU COULD SEE, WE TOOK THOSE ZONES AND FURTHER CUT THEM UP BASED ON OUR COLLECTOR ROADS AND ARTERIAL ROADS AND BASED ON SPECIFIC SUBDIVISIONS AND MADE IT MORE GANGLIER PER REPRESENTATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEADS. IN THE OUTCOME, THE OUTCOME IS WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN TODAY AS SOON AS IT LOADS UP AND SO WE HAVE NOW, WE HAVE FINISHED MEETING WITH DEPARTMENT HEADS AND WE HAVE FINALIZED THE CITYWIDE EVACUATION ZONES AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT EVEN TAKES IN PART OF THE BUCKEYE FIRE PETITION -- PROTECTION DISTRICT WE SERVE AND SO, THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION OF OUR MAP. AND NOW, BASICALLY NEXT STEPS NOW THAT WE'RE FINISHED CREATING EVACUATION ZONES, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS? AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS I'D LIKE TO, LET'S SEE. EXCUSE ME. WHERE DID IT GO? MY APOLOGIES. I'D LIKE TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM AND BUILD BASICALLY A CAMPAIGN, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU MAY RECALL KIND OF KNOW YOUR ZONE. WE SEE A LOT OF JURISDICTIONS, A LOT OF VARIOUS JURISDICTIONS IN STATE OF CALIFORNIA DOING THE STATEMENT TYPE OF WORK AND THEY'RE GETTING THIS INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AS A, GET TO KNOW YOUR EVACUATION ZONE AND THEY'RE DEVELOPING A WIDE VARIETY OF MAP APPLICATIONS FOR THE PUBLIC TO KIND OF INTERFACE WITH THE MAP, EXPLORE THE MAP, SEE WHAT ZONE THEY'RE IN, BE ABLE TO -- SEARCH BY ADDRESS AND BEYOND THAT IS THAT WHEN THEY SEARCH THE ADDRESS AND FIND OUT THEY'RE ZONED, PROVIDE A DETAILED MAP AND FURTHER, MAYBE DELINEATE CREATE EVACUATION ROUTES OUT OF THE ZONES SO NEXT STEPS WOULD BE, AGAIN, WORKING WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM, DEVELOP MORE MAP APPLICATIONS TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT TO THE STAFF AND PUBLIC, TO GAIN MORE FAMILIARITY WITH THIS INFORMATION AND THEN YOU KNOW, WORK WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM TO PUT THE INFORMATION LIKE THIS OUT TO THE PUBLIC SO THAT IN FUTURE, YOU KNOW, DISASTER, GOD FORBID IF WE HAVE ANOTHER DISASTER LIKE THE CAR FIRE, FUTURE DISASTERS, THE PUBLIC IS MORE INFORMED AND THEY HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR EVACUATION ZONES, EVACUATION ROUTES SO THAT WE CAN ULTIMATELY MANAGE AND MITIGATE THE EVACUATIONS BETTER. AND SOME OF THE IMAGES I MAY BE GOING THROUGH, HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT SONOMA COUNTY IS DOING IN REGARD TO EVACUATION ZONES ASK THIS IS ANOTHER INTERACTIVE MAP APPLICATION WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN CLICK ON THE ZONES AND SEARCH BY ADDRESS AND FIND OUT WHICH ZONES THEY'RE IN AND DOWNLOAD MORE DETAILED MAPS ABOUT THEIR EVACUATION ZONE. AND THAT IS THE END OF MY PRESENTATION. >> OKAY. MAYOR PRO TEM MEZZANO? >> THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILED PRESENTATION AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT. SO, LET ME MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR ME. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT AN APP THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO GET ON MY PHONE TO LOOK AT IT? >> GREAT QUESTION. THERE'S CERTAIN POTENTIAL FOR THAT BUT AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, MOST OF OUR MAPPING APPLICATIONS WE PROVIDE ARE WEB CENTRIC YOU WOULD ACCESS THROUGH OUR URL. >> OKAY. SO MY SECOND QUESTION IS, I LIVE IN AN EVACUATION ZONE AND I HAVE IDENTIFIED IT AND THERE'S A FIRE COMING. >> YEP. >> AND AIM THINKING, WELL, GO OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND GO NORTH, IS THIS GOING TO TELL ME DON'T GO NORTH, GO SOUTH BASED ON WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE? >> I THINK A COMBINATION OF THINGS. WITH THE INTERACTIVE MAP SHOWING WHERE THE HOTSPOTS ARE AND YOU CAN GET INFORMATION ON NEWS FEED AND TWITTER FEEDS AND INFORMATION FROM THE MAP, I HOPE YOU WOULD MAKE THE BEST JUDGMENT CALL BASED ON WIND DIRECTION AND THE FACTORS YOU SEE ON THE MAP TO DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT TO EVACUATE BECAUSE THE FAIRS AND NATURAL DISASTERS ARE DYNAMIC AND FLUID SO EVEN IF WE HAVE AN EVACUATION ROUTE DESIGNED FOR THE EVACUATION ZONE, THAT MAY NOT BE AN OPTION FOR YOU TO TAKE AND YOU MAY HAVE TO DO ANOTHER DECISION BASED ON VARIOUS FACTORS. >> WELL, THANK YOU. PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND I'LL USE IT. >> YEAH. I'LL ADD A LITTLE LAYER ON THAT, I THINK OUR POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT DID FABULOUS JOBS DURING THE CARR FIRE THROUGH THE HAPHAZARD MOMENTS AND DURING THE EVACUATION. THIS SHOULD HELP THEM TO KNOW WHERE ZONES ARE AND PLAN IN ADVANCE FOR WHERE A FIRE MAY BE ADVANCING AND THEN THEY CAN BEGIN TO ESTABLISH IN ADVANCE WHERE THOSE ROUTES WOULD BE AND THEN WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH OUR OTHER AGENCY PARTNERS LIKE CALTRANS TO GET, IF YOU WILL, PRE-APPROVALS OF CERTAIN THINGS, SO AS EVERYBODY PROBABLY KNOWS BY NOW THAT IT WAS REALLY OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT TOOK OVER NORTH MARKET STREET AND DECIDED TO MAKE IT A FOUR-LANE EXPRESSWAY ALL GOING NORTH AND WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THAT MORE OFFICIALLY ALLOWED SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT OR THINK ABOUT IT. WE CAN SAY NO, THAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. IT'S DONE. WE'RE WORKING ON THOSE ELEMENTS THAT GO ALONG WITH THE EVACUATION ROUTES. >> GREAT. >> COUNCILMEMBER WINTER? >> OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU, THANK THE GIS DEPARTMENT FOR ALL YOUR WORK AND I KNOW I WAS IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THE CARR FIRE AND SEVERAL OF US WERE EVACUATED DURING THAT FIRE FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND WE EXTENSIVELY RELIED ON THE WORK OF OUR GIS DEPARTMENT SO INCREDIBLE WORK WHAT YOU GUYS DID, SO AND GALS, THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THIS IS AMAZING TO SEE THIS COME FORWARD. I THINK THIS WILL BE HELPFUL FOR OUR COMMUNITY. >> YEAH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND JUST TO ADD IS THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR CAPABILITIES AS A GIS DEPARTMENT, ONCE THE ZONES ARE MAPPED, WE CAN TAKE THINGS EVEN FURTHER IN THAT WITH THE DATA WE HAVE IN OUR DEPARTMENT, WE CAN ANALYZE THE POPULATION WITHIN THOSE TYPE OF ZONES BASED ON CENSUS DATA AND WE CAN REALLY WORK WITH THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS TO DO SCENARIO PLANNING, YOU KNOW, OR DISASTER PLANNING SO THERE'S BIG BENEFITS IN HAVING THIS DATA AVAILABLE TO US AND IN-HOUSE THAT WE MAINTAIN. >> I ALSO WANT TO MIRROR COUNCILMEMBER WINTER'S RECOGNITION OF THE MAPPING THAT WE TENDED TO RELY ON DURING THE CARR FIRE AND FOR SUBSEQUENT FIRES, MAIN, I WOULD GO BACK TO THE CITY'S GIS PAGE TO LEARN ABOUT OTHER FIRES AFTER CARR FIRE BECAUSE I THINK YOU HAD STANDARD OF EQUALITY THAT WE GREW TO EXPECT AND RELIED ON, SO I WANT TO APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT. OKAY. I GUESS WE'RE DONE. THAT'S, THAT WAS INFORMATION FOR THE CITY, SO THERE'S NO OFFICIAL ACTION ON OUR PART. >> RIGHT. >> EXCEPT OUR APPRECIATION. >> I APPRECIATE THE APPRECIATION BECAUSE OUR GIS DIVISION IS TOP NOTCH AND THE EXPERTS WHO CAME AND VISITED US DURING CARR FIRE DOWN IN A LARGE FIRE DISTRICT IN THE BAY AREA WAS NOTABLY IMPRESSED BY OUR ABILITIES UP HERE. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. OUR NEXT ITEM IS 9.4A, WHICH IS CONSIDER AUTHORIZING FORMATION OF A TREE MANAGEMENT -- TREE MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE UPDATE COMMITTEE. >> THIS ITEM IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE CITY COUNCIL'S EX DOCTOR FOR STAFF TO BEGIN WORK -- COUNCIL'S NEXT STEP TO WORK ON AN UPDATE FOR OUR TREE ORDINANCE. AS WE'VE MOVE FORWARD AND HIRE OUR NEW DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR, JEREMY AND HE HAS BEEN GIVEN A TASK TO FORWARD THIS TO FRUITION, WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THE BEST WAY TO PUT TOGETHER A COMMITTEE AND HOW THAT MIGHT BE ACCOMPLISHED AND WHAT WE HAVE ARRIVED AT BECAUSE IT'S A TOPIC OF GREAT INTEREST TO THE COMMUNITY IN NOT ONLY OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO WANT MAXIMUM PRESERVATION BUT TO OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO WANT TO DEVELOP AND WHO ALSO LIKE TO PRESERVE BY THE WAY BUT THEY ALSO WANT TO DEVELOP IN A WAY THAT IS EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE AND ECONOMICAL FOR THEM. WE THOUGHT A GOOD WAY TO GO FORWARD IS TO HAVE A COMMITTEE, "BROWN ACT" COMMITTEE THAT'S APPOINTED BY THE COUNCIL FOR CERTAIN NUMBER OF MEMBERS BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THREE MEMBERS AND THAT COMMITTEE WOULD BE FORMULATED EITHER ON AUGUST 16TH OR ON SEPTEMBER 6TH, I THINK IT IS, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE COUNCIL'S ACTIONS AND WHY THOSE TWO DIFFERENT DATES AND THE COUNCIL HAS TWO CHOICES IN FRONT OF THEM IF THEY MOVE FORWARD WITH A COMMITTEE A POINTED BY THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, ONE, YOU MAY HAVE INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO YOU THINK SHOULD BE APPOINTED ALREADY AND WE CAN MOVE RAPIDLY AND YOU COULD JUST IDENTIFY THOSE INDIVIDUALS. LET STAFF KNOW WHO THOSE ARE BY NEXT WEEK. WE CAN DEVELOP A STAFF REPORT AND GET IT ALL PUT TOGETHER AND GET THE COMMITTEE ANNOUNCED AND PUSHED FORWARD ON AUGUST 16TH. ALTERNATIVE METHOD IS DO AN OUTREACH CALL FOR APPLICANTS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO FILL OUT A FORM, WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEIR BACKGROUND IS AND WHY THEY WANT TO BE ON THE COMMITTEE AND THE APPLICATION CAN BE FORWARDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION AND YOU WOULD PUT FORWARD TWO MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE EACH FOR A TOTAL OF TEN AND TO GIVE YOU CHANCE -- TO GIVE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY A CHANCE TO PUT THEIR NAMES IN THROUGH THAT APPLICATION PROCESS, GIVE THE COUNCIL AN OPPORTUNITY TO CALL AND TALK TO THEM, IDENTIFY YOUR MEMBERS. IT WOULD TAKE US LONGER SO THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER, WE COULD HAVE THAT ALL PREPARED FOR THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION TO OFFICIALLY FORM THE COMMITTEE AND ALSO PROVIDE DIRECTION TO THE COMMITTEE BECAUSE OF COURSE THAT'S A KEY IMPORTANT ELEMENT WHEN YOU FORM A "BROWN ACT" COMMITTEE, YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM VERY SPECIFIC PERIMETERS ON WHAT YOUR EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR THE OUTCOME AND SO OUR RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT IS THAT YOU DR. THE FORMATION OF SAID COMMITTEE. YOU DISCUSS HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD IN THOSE APPOINTMENTS AND THEN GIVE DIRECTION TO STAFF TO COME BACK EITHER THE NEXT MEETING OR THE FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER. WITH THAT, I'LL CLOSE MY COMMENTS. >> FOR CLARIFICATION, WHEN YOU'RE SAYING IT'S A "BROWN ACT" COMMITTEE, IT MEANS, BY LAW IF THE COUNCIL APPOINTS MEMBERS TO FORMS OF COMMITTEE AND APPOINTS THE MEMBERS THEN THEY MUST MEET IN PUBLIC WITH PUBLICLY AGENDIZED, WITH PUBLICLY RELEASED AGENDAS AND RECORDING OF MINUTES. >> YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT, YOU KNOW -- >> IT'S LIKE USING AN ACRONYM. >> I USE MUNICIPAL TERMINOLOGY BUT I'LL HAND IT TO THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PROVIDE WHAT IS GOING TO BE A RELEVANT LEISA SINK DEFINITION -- A SUCCINCT DEFINITION >> THEY'LL BE AN AGENDA AND THE PUBLIC WILL BE ON NOTICE THEY CAN PARTICIPATE. THAT'S THE FUNDAMENTALS. >> IT'S MEETING AND AGENDAS WILL BE SPECIFIC TO THE ITEMS AND THEY'LL BE MINUTES, MOST MINUTES, OKAY. MAYOR PRO TEM MEZZANO? >> THANK YOU. CERTAINLY, THIS ALL-STARRED WITH A RECOMMENDATION FROM -- THIS ALL STARTED WITH A RECOMMENDATION FROM COUNCILMEMBER WINTER SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WE'RE GETTING TO IT. I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. I LIKE THE IDEA OF, I'M SURE MEMBERS ON THE DAIS HERE HAVE SOMEONE IN MIND THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE ON THIS COMMITTEE BUT I ALSO LIKE TO GET THE PUBLIC INVOLVED AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE. THIS IS THEIR CITY AND I THINK IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTEREST TO PUT OUT A BRIEF RELEASE AND INVITATION, COME UP WITH AN APPLICATION OR SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET THAT WE COULD MOVE THROUGH RATHER QUICKLY AND GET THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WANT TO HAVE A VOICE AND MAKE THEM PART OF IT. >> OKAY. COUNCILMEMBER WINTER? >> WE HAVE -- THANK YOU, YOU'RE RIGHT. USUALLY, OKAY. WE HAVE A COMMENT FROM STEVEN. >> THANK YOU. THE QUESTIONS WERE ALREADY ANSWERED BY THE CITY MANAGER. I DO HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH. IS THE COMMITTEE BEING FORMED FROM THE GROUND UP AND OR EXTENDING OFF WHAT THE CITY'S CURRENT TRUE ORDINANCE POLICIES ARE? OR IS THE DIRECTION GOING TO BE TO
