MY NAME IS RYAN JONES, AS YOUR ACTING CITY ATTORNEY, AND I. THE CITY DID GET AN OBJECTION FROM THE GATHERING IN, AND SO WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IS PURSUING ALL LEGAL OPTIONS TO COMPEL. THE THE RECORDS TO BE PRODUCED. BUT AT THIS POINT WE HAVE NOT. RECEIVED ANY RECORDS, AND THEY HAVE OBJECTED TO IT. AND VARIOUS REALLY. SORRY TO SEE THAT. THE TGI. HAS ELECTED NOT TO COMPLY WITH OUR SUBPOENA. A RECORD REGARDING THE MEDICAL. RESPECT, FACILITY, PROPOSALS. PRETTY GOOD, IN SPITE OF THEIR CONSTANT PROTESTATIONS. THAT THEY WISH TO DISCUSS ITEMS WITH THE LINCOLN. THEY HAVE DECIDED NOT TO PROVIDE EVEN THE MINIMUM. INFORMATION AND FACTS. ARE NECESSARY FOR US. START A DIALOGUE. MY OPINION. AS A RESULT OF THIS. REFUSAL TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTS. ACTUALLY, DOCUMENTS WERE USED TO. WARD THE STATE. GRANT THAT THEY HAVE LEFT US. OPTIONS, BUT TO PROCEED DOWN. I'LL JUST SAY LITIGATION PATH. REALLY DISAPPOINTED. THANK YOU. MAYOR. YEAH. WELL, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY'RE. PUBLIC DOCUMENTS, ANYWAY, AND IT'S WAS THE GRANT WAS PUBLIC MONEY. AND FOR ALL THEIR TALK ABOUT WANTING TO WORK WITH US. JUST ANOTHER BRICK ON THE WALL OF LIFE. SO THANK YOU, MR. JONES, FOR BEING HERE. REALLY APPRECIATE IT. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA. IS A COUNTYWIDE. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION, PLAN. AND ANNUAL UNMIT. TRANSPORTATION NEEDS, ASSESSMENT. COREY. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, AND GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. MY NAME IS MIKE COSTUM, A PRINCIPAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNER WITH PCTA OR PLASTER, COUNTY TRANSPORTATION, PLANNING AGENCY. COREY COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT, SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND GIVE THE PRESENTATION. I'M JUST GONNA PROVIDE THE COUNCIL AND THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WITH A VERY BRIEF UPDATE ON A COUPLE OF PROJECTS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON. ON BEHALF OF OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS HERE AT THE CITY OF LINCOLN, AND OUR OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AS WELL AS THE COUNTY. 2 OF THE PROJECTS THAT I'LL BE DISCUSSING TONIGHT, ONE BEING THE COUNTYWIDE ACTIVE PLAN, OR ATP FOR SHORT. AND THE OTHER BEING OUR UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, OR UTN IS WHAT YOU'LL HEAR ME REFER IT SOMETIMES AS. SO STARTING WITH THE PLASTER COUNTY ACTIVE PLAN. THIS ESSENTIALLY IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE NOT DONE BEFORE ON A COUNTYWIDE LEVEL AT THIS SCALE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SOME OF THE JURISDICTIONS, LIKE LINCOLN AND OTHERS, HAVE LOOKED AT. FROM A LOCAL PERSPECTIVE, AND THE COUNTY IS LOOKED AT FROM A. UNINCORPORATED AREA PERSPECTIVE. BUT WE'VE NEVER KIND OF CREATED THAT LINKAGE BETWEEN. OUR ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS HERE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL WITH THE COUNTYWIDE PLANS. SO REALLY, WHAT THIS DOCUMENT IS AIMING TO ACHIEVE IS A VISION. FOR HOW WE CAN WALK, BIKE AND ROLL. THROUGHOUT PLAS COUNTY, THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR JURISDICTIONS AND THE CONNECTIONS, EVEN TO OUR NEIGHBORING JURISDICTIONS AND NEIGHBORING COUNTIES. SO WE ARE AS PART OF THIS PROCESSING EXTENSIVE PUBLIC OUTREACH. IN ORDER TO ESSENTIALLY IDENTIFY. PROJECTS FROM THE GROUND. AND THEN TO PRIORITIZE THOSE PROJECTS TO PREPARE THEM FOR FUTURE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES. SO ONCE WE GET A LIST OF PRIORITIZED. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS HERE IN THE COUNTY. WE CAN THEN GO AFTER FUNDING FOR THOSE PROJECTS AND BE MORE COMPETITIVE. SO, AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS A COUNTYWIDE EFFORT. THERE ARE SOME LOCALIZED EFFORTS OCCURRING WITH SOME OF OUR PARTNERING AGENCIES THROUGHOUT PLAS OR COUNTY. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE OF THIS EFFORT, AND IT'S ACTUALLY NOT SHOWING UP ON THE SCREENS YET. BUT IT'S STILL SHOWING UP HERE, SO I'M NOT SURE. IF THEY CAN FIX IT FOR YOU. YEAH, APOLOGIES. NO, IT'S OKAY. WORK WITH HIM. SO, AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS A COUNTYWIDE EFFORT, AND SOME OF OUR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS, AS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN HERE, ARE PARTICIPATING IN SOME OF LOCALIZED EFFORTS TO LOOK AT THEIR ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. ALL THAT TO BE SAID IS THAT WE WILL TAKE ALL THE EFFORTS THAT ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, BOTH AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. AND AT THE COUNTY WIDE LEVEL AND COMBINE THEM INTO THIS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE REGION. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT OUR AGENCY IS LEADING THE EFFORTS ON IN THAT COORDINATION. AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED IN PUBLIC OUTREACH, BOTH IN THIS COMMUNITY AS WELL AS IN OTHERS THROUGHOUT THE REGION. THE 1ST OUTREACH PHASE THAT WE STARTED WAS BACK IN MAY AND JUNE OF THIS YEAR. WE DID HAVE A LOCAL EVENT HERE AT YOUR CINCO DE MAYO EVENT, AND WE DID CONDUCT A SURVEY, OF WHICH WE RECEIVED OVER 400 RESPONSES. AND IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF THAT SURVEY ESSENTIALLY, YOU CAN GO TO THE PROJECT WEBSITE, WHICH IS PCTA ATP FOR MORE INFORMATION. SOME OF THE OUTREACH SUMMARY. COMMENTS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THAT EFFORT INCLUDE, AND THERE SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE, BUT LOOKING AT A SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR WALKING AND BIKING COMMUNITY. THERE IS ALSO AN EMPHASIS IN SOME OF THE COMMENTS ON CREATING THOSE REGIONAL CONNECTIONS, SUCH AS PATHS TO. SOME OF OUR HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS OF THE COUNTY, INCLUDING THE AUBURN RAVINE RECREATION AREA, AS WELL AS, OF COURSE, TO SCHOOL AND OTHER RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN OUR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SCHEDULE OF THIS PROJECT. WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT BY EARLY 25, AFTER WE'VE FINISHED OUR ANALYSIS PHASE OF ALL EXISTING CONDITIONS. THAT WE WILL HAVE A PRELIMINARY LIST OF PROJECTS IDENTIFIED FOR EACH LOCAL JURISDICTION, AND THEN, STARTING IN ROUGHLY JANUARY OF 2,025. WE WOULD THEN WORK WITH THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO START. PRIORITIZING THOSE PROJECTS SO THAT WE CAN AGAIN ESTABLISH A LIST OF INVESTMENTS FOR FUTURE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES. AND THAT WOULD BE DONE WITH, THE WHOLE PLAN BEING COMPLETE BY SUMMER OF 25. SO I'M GOING TO TRANSITION TO THE NEXT REGIONAL PROJECT THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THE UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS. AND THE REASON BEHIND THIS EFFORT IS REALLY BECAUSE OUR AGENCY IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF WHAT'S CALLED TRANSPORTATION ACT OR TDA FUNDING. TDA FUNDING COMES IN MULTIPLE SOURCES OF FUNDS UNDER TDA PROGRAM, AND ONE OF THOSE SOURCES OF FUNDS WHICH IS LOCAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDS. CAN BE USED FOR PURPOSES OUTSIDE OF PUBLIC TRANSIT, WHICH IS WHAT THEY'RE ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR. BUT BEFORE WE CAN USE THOSE FUNDS FOR OTHER PURPOSES, WE HAVE TO CONDUCT, AN UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS PROCESS AND AN ASSESSMENT. FOR THAT FISCAL YEAR, SO THAT ASSESSMENT IS ALONG THE LINES OF VERY STRICT CRITERIA. THAT IN ORDER TO BE UNMET TRANSIT NEED, IN ORDER TO BE REASONABLE TO MEET, IS ANOTHER DETERMINATION. WE HAVE TO MAKE. WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THIS CRITERIA THAT'S DISPLAYED ON THIS SLIDE, WHICH IS ESTABLISHED BY THE PCTA BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THAT CRITERIA IN SUMMARY LOOKS AT COMMENTS AND EVALUATES THEM. FOR WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE FOR SERVICES THAT EXIST OR DO NOT EXIST. THAT'S KIND OF ONE KEY COMPONENT. AND THEY'RE REASONABLE TO MEET FACTORS. ESSENTIALLY, ARE THOSE SERVICES GOING TO BE SUSTAINABLE? IF WE ARE PROPOSING THEM TO BE IMPLEMENTED. CAN THEY BE SUSTAINED? CAN THEY BE SUPPORTED? AND SO WE LOOK AT VARIOUS DOCUMENTATION FOR THAT EFFORT. FOR THIS UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS ASSESSMENT CYCLE. WE DID START WITH A SURVEY THAT WAS LAUNCHED ON SEPTEMBER 3.RD THAT WOULD, I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT SURVEY IS AVAILABLE ON PCTPA'S WEBSITE. IF YOU GO TO THE UNMET DASH TRANSIT DASH NEEDS WEB PAGE WITHIN OUR WEBSITE, AND THAT SURVEY IS AVAILABLE THROUGH OCTOBER 31.ST AFTER OCTOBER 31, ST OUR STAFF WILL WORK WITH YOUR JURISDICTION STAFF AS WELL AS OUR TRANSIT OPERATORS, TO EVALUATE ALL THE COMMENTS THAT WE RECEIVE. BASED ON THE CRITERIA ESTABLISHED, AND THEN WE WILL BRING TO OUR BOARD THE FINDINGS OF WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS THAT ARE REASONABLE TO MEET. IN FEBRUARY OF 2,025. AS I MENTIONED, YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROCESS BY PROVIDING YOUR COMMENTS ON OUR ON OUR SURVEY THAT'S AVAILABLE ONLINE. THAT SURVEY IS AVAILABLE AS WELL IN SPANISH AND OUTSIDE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE. AND OF COURSE YOU'RE ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME WITH MY CONTACT INFORMATION ON THIS SLIDE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE YOUR COMMENTS TO ME DIRECTLY. WITH THAT. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION ON OUR EFFORTS. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR THAT. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS ONLINE. NO MAYOR, NO HANDS RAISED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MIKE. COULD YOU COME UP WITH MIKE. LOOKS LIKE THE PLANNING TRANSPORTATION. IS DOING LINCOLN, LOOMIS. AND THEN THE OTHER AREAS WITHIN HIS MAP. WE'RE DOING AN OWN PLAN. WAS I UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECT. ANSWER. SO JUST TO CLARIFY THE QUESTION. THE MAP SHOWED DIFFERENT EFFORTS THAT WERE HAPPENING AT LOCAL JURISDICTIONAL LEVELS. WE AT PCTA ARE LEADING THE EFFORT FOR THE LINCOLN AREA, BECAUSE LINCOLN IS NOT DOING ITS OWN ACTIVE PLAN AS LIKE AUBURN AND ROCKLAND AND. I BELIEVE ROSEVILLE ARE ALL DOING KIND OF THEIR OWN SUB PLANS. SO WE'RE LEADING THE EFFORT FOR LINCOLN. HOWEVER, WITH THAT BEING SAID. WE ARE GOING TO COMBINE ALL THE PLANS IN THE END, AND OUR AGENCY IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNTYWIDE ATP INCORPORATES ALL COMPONENTS OF THE PLAN. IN THE FINAL DOCUMENT. FOR ALL JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING. AND SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE COORDINATING BETWEEN ALL OF THOSE ENTITIES. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD IS IN REGARDS TO THE UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SURVEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ALLOW US AS A CITY. TO GO AFTER SOME KIND OF FUNDING OF SOME SORT. DID I HEAR THAT CORRECT. SO THE UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS ASSESSMENT. PROCESS AND SURVEY ARE TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS THAT WE THEN EVALUATE, BASED ON THE CRITERIA I PRESENTED IN THE PRESENTATION. HOWEVER, WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT DOESN'T ALLOW US TO SEEK EXTRA FUNDING. IT'S A REQUIREMENT FOR THE FUNDS. WE ALREADY ADMINISTER. THE TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT. FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ON THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA. WHICH IS PUBLIC COMMENT ON. THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE. IN THE AUDIENCE AND ONLINE. MAKE COMMENTS AND REMARKS. CITY COUNCIL ABOUT ITEMS IN THEIR PURVIEW. AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WE CAN TAKE NO ACTION. BECAUSE IT IS A. AGENDA ITEM AND. WE MIGHT PASS IT OFF TO STAFF FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS. OR TO GET THE ITEM ON THE PICTURE AGENDA. EACH PERSON HAS 3 MIN. WE WOULD APPRECIATE PEOPLE FILLING OUT CARDS. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE. I DO HAVE A CARD. FROM A JASON. DAGGETT. IS THAT RIGHT? JASON. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT. MY NAME IS JASON DAGGETT. I'M A RESIDENT OF LINCOLN. I WANT TO ADDRESS WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A DEFICIENCY IN THE CITY'S ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY AND MAINTAIN THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE CITY. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM. AND HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE LACK OF UPKEEP, OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN OUR CITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE ROADS OF THE LETTER AND NUMBER STREETS. THERE IS A MULTITUDE OF DATA SETS AVAILABLE THAT SHOW POOR INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS ROAD CONDITIONS OUTDATED OR MISSING UTILITIES. UNRELIABLE WATER SERVICES TO NAME A FEW. OUR LARGE DRIVER OF THE DECREASE IN VALUE OF HOMES, AND, ACCORDING TO A RECENT REPORT BY THE CALIFORNIA HOOD. IT'S ALSO A LARGE DRIVER OF HOMEOWNERS ARE WILLING TO CLEAN UP OR FIX THEIR OWN PROPERTIES. NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY RISK ASSOCIATED WITH PORT ROAD PROPER STRIPING AND LACK OF ADEQUATE LIGHTING. SO WHY WOULD THE CITY NOT BE UPKEEPING THESE ROADS? THE ANSWER I KEEP HEARING IS, WE DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET. GET. THE ROADS IN ALMOST EVERY OTHER PART OF TOWN ARE IN FAR BETTER CONDITION. JOINER JUST GOT REPAVED TO THE TUNE OF, I'M SURE, MULTI MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND I KNOW. I'M SURE THAT WORK HAD TO BE DONE FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER, THOUGH THAT REASON IS DIFFERENT. DEPENDING ON WHICH CITY EMPLOYEE YOU ASK. SO IF THE BUDGET IS SO SHORT, WHY, THE LAST SEVERAL MEETINGS THAT I'VE ATTENDED HAVE BEEN, HAVE THERE BEEN PROPOSALS THAT THE COUNCIL IS, QUOTE, UNQUOTE, SO EXCITED, ABOUT TO SPEND MONEY ON WHAT I THINK. WHAT MOST WOULD CONSIDER UNNECESSARY PURCHASES. SUCH AS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON FANCY TRAFFIC CAMERAS TO HELP PRIVATE BUSINESSES LOCATE THIEVES. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN, OR TO HELP PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES ASSIGN FAULT FOR ACCIDENTS. NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW. THAT'S A GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY. OR PLANS TO POTENTIALLY SPEND MILLIONS, TO GIVE NEW TRAILS AND WALKING PATHS AND DEVELOP THE OLD DUMP. AND BEFORE THE IDEA OF THIS PART OF THE BUDGET CAN ONLY BE USED FOR X OR Y. THERE'S ALSO BEEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT. MOVING BUDGET FROM ONE AREA TO ANOTHER TO ACCOMMODATE THESE PROJECTS. SO CAN THIS ONLY HAPPEN FOR PROJECTS. THE COUNCIL IS EXCITED ABOUT. THIS TYPE OF IRRESPONSIBLE SPENDING IS LIKE THAT HOUSE, YOU SEE, WITH THE ROOF LEAKERED BY A TARP FOR YEARS, BUT THEY KEEP BUYING A NEW CAR, A NEW IPHONE BECAUSE THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE TECH. THE DIFFERENCE IS, THAT PERSON IS IRRESPONSIBLY, AND THE CITY IS IRRESPONSIBLY SPENDING HOURS. THE CITY HAD A TRAFFIC SAFETY REPORT PROVIDED TO THEM BY UC. BERKELEY IN SEPTEMBER OF 23, AND THE ONLY THING THAT'S BEEN STARTED FROM THAT REPORT IS THE REPAINTING OF 3 AND A HALF INTERSECTIONS OF CROSS AND 4 BLOCKS, 4 BLOCKS OF BIKE LANES. EVEN BY THE HOLY POOR GOVERNMENT STANDARDS FOR EFFICIENCY. THAT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. EVERY CITIZEN IS ENTITLED TO THE SAME QUALITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PART OF THE CITY. MYSELF AND OTHERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH SUBSTANDARD SERVICES, JUST BECAUSE THE IDEA OF AN UNDERGROUND FIBER NETWORK OR EXTRA FANCY CAMERA SOUNDS COOL. OR THAT'S WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE. OR THERE'S SOME OTHER EXCUSE ABOUT HOW THE BUDGET ISN'T MANAGED MORE EFFICIENTLY. IF THE BUDGET ISN'T ALLOCATED ADEQUATELY. THEN MAY I SUGGEST THAT YOU DEAL WITH THE BUDGET AND OR THOSE WHO SET THE BUDGET FIRST.ST DON'T GET DISTRACTED BY TECH OR KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES. REMOVE THE BLUE TARP AND FIX YOUR ROOF. FIX WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE WE SPEND MORE MONEY ON THINGS THAT WE WON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES, MAINTAIN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. NEXT COMMENT, CARD. REVEREND VIRGIL, NOW. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS, STAFF AND CONCERNED CITIZENS. I'M VIRGIL NELSON, A RETIRED PASTOR. I WANT TO SHARE A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ON HOW JESUS INSTRUCTS HIS FOLLOWERS. TO DEAL WITH, CONFLICT. ESPECIALLY SINCE SEVERAL COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF. ARE CHRISTIANS. JESUS MADE IT CLEAR WHAT IT MEANS TO FOLLOW HIM. IN HIS DESCRIPTION OF A FINAL JUDGMENT. ANYTIME WE PROVIDE WATER, FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER, OR HEALING TO ANYONE IN NEED. WE ARE PROVIDING IT DIRECTLY TO HIM. REGARDING CONFLICT. JESUS HAS SOME VERY DIFFICULT INSTRUCTIONS. YOU HAVE HEARD IT SAID, LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS, AND HATE YOUR ENEMIES. BUT I TELL YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. THAT YOU MAY BE SONS OF YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. JESUS SAYS THAT WHEN SOMEONE HAS DONE SOMETHING AGAINST US. WE ARE TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND GO TO THEM. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE WRONGED US. HE EVEN COMMANDS US TO DO THIS BEFORE WE WORSHIP. IF YOU ARE OFFERING YOUR GIFT AND WORSHIP, AND REMEMBER THAT YOUR BROTHER HAS SOMETHING AGAINST YOU. LEAVE YOUR GIFT. GO FIRST, ST AND BE RECONCILED WITH YOUR BROTHER. THEN COME BACK AND FINISH YOUR WORSHIP. YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE ALSO CHRISTIANS IN THE LEADERSHIP OF THE GATHERING INN. AND THAT THE GATHERING WAS FOUNDED BY A GROUP OF CHRISTIANS. THEREFORE, IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR CHRISTIAN VALUES SHOULD BE REFLECTED. IN YOUR ACTIONS AS COUNCIL MEMBERS. I WOULD URGE YOU TO IGNORE THE GAG ORDER. AND ACCEPT THE INVITATION THAT KEVIN SHARED WITH YOU. TO WRITE YOUR OWN PROPOSED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING. AND THEN INITIATE DISCUSSIONS WITH TGI. TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO FEEL BLINDSIDED AND BETRAYED. TGI MAINTAINED THAT THE SALE HAD TO BE KEPT PRIVATE. BUT THEN CHOSE TO INFORM SUPERVISOR LANDON, AND NOT YOU. TGI HAS A RIGHT TO BE FEEL WRONGED. IN YOUR 1ST MEETING. BOTH SIDES AGREED THAT TGI NEEDED TIME. TO GET CLEARANCE FROM THE STATE BEFORE RELEASING DOCUMENTS. AND 2 DAYS LATER THE CITY LAMBASTED IN THE NEWS. AND I WILL ALSO BE SHARING JESUS METHOD OF CONFLICT. RESOLUTION WITH THE TGI LEADERSHIP. YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO. FOLLOW JESUS, OR TO KNOWINGLY CONTINUE TO BLOCK ALL EFFORTS. TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES. YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO WASTE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TAXPAYERS' DOLLARS ON LEGAL FEES. OR TO ACCEPT TGI'S INVITATION. TO SIT DOWN TOGETHER AND RESOLVE THE ISSUES. I HOPE YOU WILL CHOOSE THE LATTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WAS MY MICROPHONE, NOT WORKING. EARLIER. WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT NOT RECEIVING. AND YOU KNOW JUST A QUICK RESPONSE TO THAT. YOU KNOW, PASTOR, I HEARD YOUR COMMENTS. TODAY AT THE SUPERVISORS MEETING, TOO. AND I TOLD YOU LAST TIME I I APPRECIATE YOUR PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE YOUR CHURCH HAS DONE A LOT OF GOOD WORK. WITH THE HOMELESS. BUT I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE BIBLE AND WHAT JESUS TELLS US, AND TO MY RECOLLECTION, WHEN JESUS TELLS US TO CARE FOR THE WIDOW, THE ORPHAN, AND THE POOR. HE NEVER SAID TO LIE, CHEAT, AND STEAL, TO DO IT. AND SO I STAND WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE OF MY ACTIONS, AND WHAT I HAVE SAID, WHAT I HAVE NOT SAID. AND SO I YOU KNOW. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN COME BACK UP. YOU'VE ALREADY SAID YOUR COMMENT JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT. DELIBERATING WITH THE WE'RE NOT GOING TO DELIBERATE. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. NOPE. YOU CANNOT. OH, WE HAVE, AND I TOLD YOU THAT LAST TIME WE HAVE MULTIPLE TIMES. PLEASE, THANK YOU. C. BACK IN OUR. I HAVE ANOTHER CARD. FROM SCOTT, WARREN. I LIVE ON P STREET. ABOUT 2 BLOCKS FROM THE PROPOSED. GATHERING IN FACILITY. AND I'M A MEMBER OF SHEPHERD, THE SHEPHERD OF THE SIERRA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. I LIKE TO GIVE MY PERSPECTIVE ON THE PROPOSED FACILITY, BOTH AS A CITIZEN AND AS A CHRISTIAN. FIRST, ST IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE PROPOSED USE OF THE FACILITY IS VERY SIMILAR TO HOW IT HAD BEEN USED PREVIOUSLY. PREVIOUSLY. IT WAS AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY. AND THE RESPITE CENTER THAT'S PROPOSED IS NOT GOING TO OPERATE THAT MUCH DIFFERENTLY FROM. BUILDING THAT WAS. AS THE BUILDING WAS PREVIOUSLY BEING USED. IN TERMS OF LYING, CHEATING, AND STEALING. I'VE SEEN AN AWFUL LOT OF PLACARDS LYING AROUND. WITH THIS INFORMATION AND OUTRIGHT LIES ABOUT THE PROPOSED USE OF THAT FACILITY. AND SO IF THERE'S. A LACK OF CANDOR. ON THE PART OF THE PROPONENTS. AND OPPONENTS OF THIS FACILITY. THAT LACK OF CANDOR EXISTS ON BOTH SIDES. LET ME DISCUSS THIS ISSUE A LITTLE BIT FROM A CHRISTIAN POINT OF VIEW. 1ST OF ALL, WE KNOW. FROM MATTHEW. 25. JESUS SAYS THAT. WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO THE LEAST OF THESE. SO YOU HAVE DONE TO ME. PROBLEMS, 21. IF YOU REFUSE TO LISTEN TO THE CRY OF THE POOR. YOUR OWN CRY FOR HELP WILL NOT BE HEARD. IN PROVERBS, 14. IF YOU ARE PRESS, POOR PEOPLE, YOU INSULT THE GOD WHO MADE THEM. AND KIND OF SHOWN TO THE POOR IS AN ACT OF WORSHIP. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO DENY MEDICAL CARE TO THE POOR. IS IMMORAL. TO DISCHARGE ELDERLY PATIENTS FROM A HOSPITAL TO THE STREETS. IS TO CONSIGN THEM TO DEATH. THE PROPOSED FACILITY WOULD PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE TO THE PEOPLE MOST IN NEED OF IT. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF CHRISTIAN ETHICS, AND, FOR THAT MATTER. THE STANDPOINT OF ANY FAITH, TRADITION. THIS FACILITY DESERVES THE SUPPORT OF ALL PEOPLE OF GOODWILL. WE WHO ARE CITIZENS OF LINCOLN HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR. WE WHO ARE PEOPLE OF FAITH. HAVE THE COMPASSION TO DEMAND. THAT THIS RESPITE CENTER BE BUILT. THANK YOU. MIKE, MY GARABEDIAN, DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT. OH, THERE WE GO! I BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE PUBLIC SPEAKS. ON THE OPEN OPPORTUNITY LIKE IT. JUST. THAT ACTUALLY THEY CAN'T BE RESPONDED TO. I BELIEVE I BELIEVE THAT IS THE PRACTICE AND THE LAW. HOWEVER, I'M NOT GIVING YOU A LEGAL OPINION. THANK YOU. I WON'T COMMENT. ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE. YES, MA'AM. PLEASE COME. GOOD EVENING, COUNCILMEMBERS. MY NAME IS SELA GREENHOUSE. AND I LIVE ON E STREET. AT THE HOA COMMUNITY, FACING. POST OFFICE. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN. THEY GO TO WESTERN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. IN 3 DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. I PAY 2850 A MONTH FOR 2,500 SQUARE FOOT, 5 BEDROOM. I'M COMING TO YOU BECAUSE OF A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS, ONE THAT'S BEEN REMINDED OF. AND ANOTHER THAT I CAME TO SPEAK ABOUT. THE 1ST THING IS THE HOT TOPIC THAT'S HAPPENING ABOUT THE GATHERING IN. MY POSITION IS SHARED BY MY HUSBAND, WHO I JUST SPOKE TO BEFORE I CAME HERE. AND THE UNDERSTANDING THAT I HAVE. IS THAT WE AS A CITY, WE'RE BLINDSIDED. BY THE ENTRY OF THIS FACILITY. SO I WANNA BEAR MY TESTIMONY ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED TO ME. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DEALING WITH A VERY TOUGH TIME IN HER MARRIAGE. BEEN TOGETHER SINCE 2,001. I RAN AWAY FROM HOME. TO MY CAR, 3 STREETS AWAY. AND I PARKED IN MY CAR, AND I PULLED OUT MY SCRIPTURES, AND I READ IN THE BACKSEAT OF MY CAR. NEXT TO ME WAS A GENTLEMAN. WHO MUST HAVE SEEN ME ON HIS CAMERA. HE WALKED INTO HIS PROPERTY LINE AND HE SHINED HIS CAMERA AT MY CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, YELLING. HORRIBLE THINGS TO ME. ABOUT. ME BEING A TRANSIT, HOMELESS PERSON. HE THEN CALLED THE POLICE. THE POLICE CAME DOWN. THEY RECOGNIZED WHO I WAS, AND THEY SAID, WELL, YOU'RE PARKED LEGALLY. WE CAN'T MOVE YOU. I SAID, I UNDERSTAND THAT I'M JUST LOOKING FOR A LITTLE PIECE. THIS WENT ON FOR 1 H. HE CONTINUED TO FLASH HIS FLASHLIGHT IN MY CAR AND SAY, HORRIBLE. SLURS TO ME. I HELD MY GROUND BECAUSE I NEEDED THE PIECE. AND I WANTED TO GET THROUGH THIS CHAPTER. THE POLICE CAME A SECOND TIME. POLICE OFFICER SAID TO ME. WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST MOVE? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF JUST MOVING. BUT I KNOW MY RIGHTS. I KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING, AND I KNEW THAT I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING WRONG. AND I DID RECORD THIS GENTLEMAN. TO LET THE POLICE OFFICER SEE A GLIMPSE OF HOW HE TREATED ME. I BEAR THAT TESTIMONY WITH YOU. THE SECOND THING I WANT TO TELL YOU IS, MY 4 CHILDREN WALK TO SCHOOL ON THOSE LETTER STREETS. THIS GENTLEMAN SPOKE ABOUT. THERE WAS A KID BY A CAR. BY ANOTHER KID. THEY'RE NOT MARKINGS. I USED TO WORK FOR A ASPHALT COMPANY. I KNOW THE COST THAT IT ENTAILS. BUT IT'S NOT SAFE FOR OUR CHILDREN TO WALK THOSE STREETS. WE DON'T HAVE SAFE DRIVERS. THAT'S OUT THERE, AND I DO ASK FOR ATTENTION TO THAT. AND THEN THE LAST THING IS ABOUT TRANSPORTATION. I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TRANSPORTATION IN OUR COUNTY. I BROUGHT UP TO MY SCHOOL BOARD. I DO BELIEVE THAT I'LL TAKE MORE ATTENTION TO THAT. THANK YOU. AND THE OTHER COMMENTS. IT'S ONLINE. WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE ONLINE. DOES ANYBODY HAVE A COMMENT? NO HANDS ARE RAISED. MAYOR. OKAY, HIGH, CLOSE. PUBLIC COMMENT. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE CONSENT AGENDA. THIS ALL ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. WILL BE CONSIDERED AS 1, 1 VOTE. DOES ANYONE ON THE COUNCIL WISH. ITEM, NO MAYOR. 58. HE AS A DOG. ANYBODY IN THE. AUDIENCE WISH TO PULL AN ITEM. 8. I THAT LOOKS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ONLINE. NOBODY. ONLINE. MAYOR. OKAY.

LAWRENCE. AND MAYOR CARL SKIN. YES. OKAY. 1ST ITEM WAS THE 8. THE. WHICH IS A RESOLUTION. DESIGNATED MAYOR. AS CITY. LINCOLN'S. VOTING DELEGATE. AND COUNCILMAN BROWN. AS THE ALTERNATE AT THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES. ANNUAL, COMP. WHY DID YOU WISH TO POSE FOR DISCUSSION ABOUT FUNDING? WE SEEM TO SEND COUNCIL MEMBERS. BELL CITIES, CAP TO CAP AND BUSINESS ALLIANCE. I LIKE, AND I LIKE PUBLIC RECORD AND KNOW HOW MUCH WE'RE ACTUALLY. SPENDING FOR THESE CONFERENCES. YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO ACTUALLY BELONG TO THESE ORGANIZATIONS, AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? ACTUALLY? AND TRAVEL EXPENSES. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME. IF I HAVE TO GIVE SOME ROUGH NUMBERS HERE. BUT I WOULD SAY THAT SEND A COUNCIL MEMBER TO THIS CONFERENCE, INCLUDING TRAVEL AND LODGING. IT'S PROBABLY IT DEPENDS ON WHERE IT'S HELD THIS YEAR. IT'S IN LONG BEACH. IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT A. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1,500 BUCKS AND $2,000, LIKE MAYBE ALL IN. INCLUDING CONFERENCE REGISTRATION, FLIGHT. DEALS STUFF LIKE THAT PRETTY. PRETTY MUCH COMMISERATE WITH MOST OF THE TRAINING THAT WE WOULD SEND FOLKS TO. IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OTHER TRIPS TO DC. AND THOSE I YOU'LL HAVE TO ASK FOR ME TO GO DIG THAT UP BECAUSE. WELL, AND JUST AS A POINT OF REFERENCE. NOBODY FROM THE CITY OF LINCOLN WENT TO CAP TO CAP THIS YEAR. WE CHOSE NOT TO GO, AND THAT DOESN'T SAY THAT WE WON'T GO AGAIN. BUT WE DIDN'T GO THIS YEAR, SO. BUT THE PARTS ARE BUSINESS. YES, WE DID. YEAH. SEEMS TO BE THE NEW ONE. QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE. ACTUALLY THAT HIS QUESTION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ITEM ITSELF, BUT. A VALID QUESTION. NOT FOR THIS ITEM, BUT I MOVE APPROVAL OF ITEM 8. I MOVE APPROVAL. ANYBODY ONLINE, NO ONE ONLINE. NO, NO. OKAY, I NEED A MOTION. A MOTION, GIVE ME A SECOND. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER. YES, MAYOR CARL SKENT AND COUNCILMEMBER LAWRENCE. AND TO NOT DISCUSS. WHY? BUT A NO ON THIS ITEM. THEY VOTED NO. YOU WANT AN ANSWER? CAL, CITIES. OKAY, SO YOU, THAT'S YOUR ANSWER. THAT'S YOUR ANSWER. FUNNY YOU DIDN'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM WHEN YOU WENT TO CAL CITIES. WE? OH, ACTUALLY, I DIDN'T GO TO CAL. CITIES. OH, YOU KNOW IT, I THINK A SECOND. THEY DIDN'T. SO, ANYWAY. SO ANYWAY, THAT'S MY ANSWER. WHEN THAT WAS ENOUGH, WE. MADE, A. DECISION AS A COUNCIL. WE VOTED NO ON AN ITEM. WHY ARE WE GONNA KNOW ON THE ITEM? OKAY? AND I CAN ANSWER IT. NEXT ITEM PULLED. IS 8. I. DROP ABOUT RESOLUTION. 2024, 1, 97, APPROVING. ANNEXATION OF. JOINER. HEATH RANCHES. TO THE FACILITIES. DISTRICT. 2,019, ONE. AND RESOLUTION THROUGH 2024, 1 98. APPROVING ANNEXATION, 13. TURN AROUND AND STUFF LIKE. CITY. YOU SEE 2018, 2. WHY DID HE PULL THIS. PRESENTATION ON THE FULL THING. OR DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION. NO, I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I POSE THIS ITEM. BASED ON THE TEXT ITSELF. BECAUSE IT SAYS THE CITY. WILL BE PROVIDING, I GUESS. TAX INCOME. FOR BY PROVIDING STORMWATER QUALITY AND DRAINAGE FACILITIES. THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE THIS CAPACITY. FOR THIS AREA AND MISRES MISREPRESENTS ITS CAPABILITY. I LIVED ON. SHELL BOX DRIVE, AND OBSERVED. SEVERAL TIMES. THE INABILITY OF STORMWATER FACILITIES TO WORK THERE. 1ST EXAMPLE HAPPENS WHEN IT GETS HALFWAY, INSTEAD OF RUNNING. OUT INTO THE DITCH FROM UNDER THE STREET. THEN IT STARTS RUNNING. THE STREET PIPES. BUT THE MOST NOTABLE THING IS THAT AT THE WEST END, WHERE IT GOES UNDER JOINER PARKWAY THERE ARE 2 6 FOOT DIAMETER PIPES. AND THEY COME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE. BUT THERE'S NOTHING. THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO DITCH ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND THE OTHER SIDE OFTEN FLOODS. THE WHOLE AREA FLOODS, AND YOU CAN SEE THE TREES FLOODING. IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE SOUTHERN. WETLAND FORESTS. SO I THINK. AND THE THE CANAL ITSELF FILLS UP TO THE BRIM. AND STARTS TO OVERFLOW INTO THE FOOTBALL FIELD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IMPACT THIS WILL HAVE ON THE SUBDIVISION. THERE. BUT IT, SINCE THE SUBDIVISION ROADS ARE LOWER THAN THE ELEVATION. IT COULD BE AFFECTED. BUT THE WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE. THE WETLANDS, THE VERNAL POORER. THE OTHER AREAS OF WATER. HELD AND STORED WATER FOR A LONG TIME AFTER BIG RAINS. AND NOW THAT'S GONE. SO THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL. SOURCE OF WATER. SO YEAH, THAT THAT'S MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS ITEM. I THINK IT'S A MISTAKE FOR THE CITY TO SUGGEST THAT IT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE STORMWATER FOR THAT AREA. COULD VERY WELL BE A PROBLEM FROM THE PEOPLE IN THAT. AND I I TRIED TO FILE AN APPEAL OF THE LATEST ACTION. THERE. BUT IT WAS REFUSED BECAUSE OF A I GUESS, A 2,500 APPEAL, WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE A FEE WHICH WAS NECESSARY, SO I'VE TRIED TO RAISE THIS. ISSUE WITH A CITY. AND SO THIS SEEMS LIKE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO POINT OUT THE DIFFICULTY AND URGE THAT THE CITY DO SOMETHING. BEGIN TO DO SOMETHING IF IT DOESN'T HAVE SOME PLAN IN MIND. TO ADDRESS THIS AREA, BUT THEY'RE IMMEDIATELY BUILDING THERE, AS YOU KNOW. THANK YOU. AND YOU. OR HE DID NOT ADDRESS THIS. WHICH IS TO ANNEX END OF THE. SO THESE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT. HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH. THE DESIGN OR THE DEVELOPMENT. OF ANY OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE. IT'S SIMPLY TO MAINTAIN OVER THE YEAR. THE MAIN, MAINTAIN. THE EXISTING STRUCTURE. WELL, THAT MAY. WELL, THAT'S WHAT THE ITEM IS. WELL, THAT THAT MAY WELL BE, BUT THE ITEM SAYS IT'S. BASED ON THE TAXATION BASED ON PROVIDING STORMWATER QUALITY AND DRAINAGE FACILITIES. AND THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS. THAT'S MAINE. STREET MAINTENANCE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. STORMWATER QUALITY AND DRAINAGE FACILITIES. MAINTENANCE THERE, PAY FOR. NOT THAT'S ALL IT IS. IF YOU, IF YOU READ THE. FORMATION DOCUMENTS FOR THE CFDS. THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS. WELL, I WANTED TO URGE CITY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT IT DOES NOT ADEQUATELY DRAIN THAT AREA. EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO THE CFD FORMATION. WOULD YOU ALLOW EITHER A CITY ENGINEER OR PRODUCT, OR TO ADDRESS THAT SORT OF WELL AWARE OF TRAINING. YES. YEAH. THE THE ITEM REALLY PERTAINS TO. MAINTENANCE, FD. AND A PUBLIC SAFETY, CFD. IT'S IT'S 1 OF THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT WE PLACE ON DEVELOPMENT TO ENSURE THAT. YOU KNOW THERE IS A FUNDING STREAM TO HELP THE CITY WITH OUR MAINTENANCE. OBLIGATIONS. NOW? WOULD WOULD THE CONCERN RAISE OUR. OR DRAINAGE FACILITIES. YES, THE THE CITY IS AWARE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE NUMEROUS STORM DRAIN PROJECTS THAT THAT WE HAVE TO PLAN FOR. THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND THIS IS A MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS US TO. PROVIDE THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING FACILITIES. AND YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WITH ADDITIONAL. REVENUE IN THE CFDS. YOU KNOW. THINK OF THAT AS POTENTIAL SEED MONEY FOR US TO EMBARK ON SOME OF THESE LARGER PROJECTS THAT MAY END UP BEING IN THE RAVINES WHERE WE'LL HAVE TO. YOU KNOW, COORDINATE WITH SOME OF THE OTHER ENTITIES TO TO TAKE ON THESE. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN CALL THEM RECLAMATION CHANNEL RECLAMATION PROJECTS THAT REAL. THAT'S REALLY WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. THE THE CHALLENGE WITH A LOT OF THOSE STORM PROJECTS IS THAT. THEY'RE THEY'RE IN ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS. SO WE CAN'T JUST GO IN THERE WITH BULLDOZERS AND START DIGGING THINGS UP. SO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH A WHOLE PROCESS. TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING IS ENVIRONMENTALLY PROTECTED. AND THOSE PROJECTS DO TAKE A LONG TIME, AND AND WE ARE AWARE THERE ARE YOU KNOW, CERTAIN STORM DRAIN DEFICIENCIES, BUT THEN. WITH EVERY PROJECT AND EVERY DESIGN. WE REQUIRE THE DEVELOPMENT TO DETAIN A LOT OF THE RUNOFF ON SITE TO CLEAN UP THEIR RUNOFF BEFORE IT'S ACTUALLY. INTO THESE SENSITIVE AREAS. SO. YES, THE CITY IS WORKING ON LONG TERM PLAN TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE ISSUES FOR YOUR EXPLANATION. I HAVE A MOTION. WELL, ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. MR. CHAPMAN. COUNCIL, MEMBERS, CITY STAFF. THOSE HERE IN ATTENDANCE, AND THOSE WATCHING AT HOME. I TOO? YEAH, HAVE THE SAME SORT OF CONCERNS AND SCENARIOS ABOUT THIS AS WELL. OVER THE YEARS. THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. AND AS I WENT THROUGH THIS. DOCUMENT AT HOME. HAD THAT NOT BEEN IN THE DESCRIPTION OF, I REALIZED, AS FAR AS THE CITY MAINTENANCE. AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE PROPOSED. HOWEVER, THE LAST SPEAKER. POINTED OUT, NOT JUST A POSSIBILITY. THIS IS THIS IS ALREADY REAL. I LITERALLY HAVE BEEN OVER THERE ON MANY OCCASIONS WHEN WE'VE HAD STORMY DAYS ON END. AND WITHOUT QUESTION. TO BE FACETIOUS. YOU MAY AS WELL TAKE A BOAT. BECAUSE THERE ARE PLACES THERE WHERE IT IS LITERALLY. FLOATING. SO WITH THE ADDITION OF ALL OF THOSE HOMES THAT ARE THERE AND THOSE HOMES ARE HIGHER. THEN, WHERE THAT WATER IS GOING TO DRAIN DOWN TO, AND IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS HERE, SUCH AS LANDSCAPE PARTS, OPEN SPACE, STREET LIGHTING, STREET MAINTENANCE, TRAFFIC. AND STORM WATER, QUALITY. AND DRAINAGE FACILITIES. SO I'M READING THIS. AND I HOPE THAT WE'RE NOT IN A POSITION WHERE WE'RE LIKE. WE KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING. BUT WE'RE GONNA TAKE CARE OF IT. MY CONCERN IS BEFORE ANY HOUSES EVEN WENT OUT. THERE. IT WAS STILL AN ISSUE, AND IT HADN'T BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. SO I THINK MAYBE THAT'S PART OF WHAT THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER WAS SAYING. BUT I, TOO, AM CONCERNED ABOUT. WE'RE GONNA TAKE CARE OF IT. THE ISSUE I HAVE WITH IT IS, THERE'S BEEN MANY, MANY MEETINGS ABOUT THIS, AND. EVERY TIME. IT HAS STILL BEEN A DRAINAGE ISSUE, AND IF YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED IT BY NOW, OR CHASED IT DOWN. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO AFTER THE FACT? THANK YOU. NO NO HANDS, ONLINE. I MOVE TO APPROVE. ITEM 8. I RESOLUTION 24, 1, 9, 7, AND. 1 9, 8. SECOND. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER, ANDREA, COUNCILMEMBER, LAWRENSON. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA ARE PUBLIC HEARINGS. WE HAVE NONE. UNDER GENERAL BUSINESS. 10. A. ADOPT RESOLUTION 24. APPROVING THE MEMORANDUM. OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CLASSIFIED. EMPLOYEES GROUP AND THE CITY OF LINCOLN, AND RELATED SCHEDULE. YEAH, I GUESS. THIS ITEM IS, A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL FOR THE SUCCESSOR. BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE GROUP. AS WELL AS THE RELATED SALARY SCHEDULES. THE CLASSIFIED GROUP IS COMPRISED OF 52 STAFF WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING REPAIRING CITY FACILITIES. PARKS, INCLUDING CLEANING PARK RESTROOMS. THEY OPERATE, MAINTAIN THE CITY'S. WELLS, STORAGE TANKS AND WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS METERS. ADDITIONALLY STAFF IN THIS. GROUP, MAINTAIN THE CITY STREETS, COLLECT. COLLECT AND TRANSPORT, AND DISPOSE OF RESIDENTIAL. AND COMMERCIAL REFUSE. THE CITY AND THE CLASSIFIED GROUP MEETINGS OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS TO NEGOTIATE THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. AND THIS AGREEMENT WILL REPLACE THE PREVIOUS 3 YEAR. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING, WHICH EXPIRED IN JUNE ON JUNE 30TH OF 24. THE COST OF THIS AGREEMENT OVER THE 4 YEAR PERIOD IS $1,843,906. THE FISCAL IMPACT FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR 2425 IS $169,396. IT WILL REQUIRE A BUDGET AUGMENTATION TO VARIOUS FUNDS. AND THOSE AUGMENTATIONS ARE SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED IN THE STAFF REPORT. THE SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS OF THE AGREEMENT ARE AS FOLLOWS. THERE WERE SEVERAL CHANGES TO CLASSIFICATIONS THAT ARE REPRESENTED BY THIS GROUP, SOME REMOVED, SOME ADDED. THERE ARE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENTS THAT WERE ADDED. FOR COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENTS BEGINNING. EFFECTIVE. WITH JULY 1, ST 24. AND EACH YEAR THEREAFTER ENDING ON JULY 2027, AS FOLLOWS. 4%. EFFECTIVE. JULY 1, 24, 3%. JULY, 1,025. 3%. JULY 1, 2,026 AND 5%. JULY 27. IN ADDITION TO THESE, INCREASES. WE ALSO TOOK A LOOK AT THE MARKET. AND THESE CLASSIFICATIONS. AND IT MADE INCREASES TO THOSE CLASSIFICATIONS WHERE WE WERE STRUGGLING WITH RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION. SPECIFICALLY THESE CLASSIFICATIONS WHERE THE MAINTENANCE WORKER ONE AND 2. THE REFUGE, TRUCK DRIVER, 2. SENIOR REFUSE TRUCK DRIVER. AND WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEMS. TECHNICIAN, TOO. ALL OF THESE CLASSIFICATIONS HAD RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION ISSUES THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. AND THEREFORE WE FELT THAT IT WAS NECESSARY TO ADD IN THESE MARKET SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FOR THOSE. IN ADDITION TO THE SALARY INCREASES, THE CITY HAS AGREED TO CONTRIBUTE UP TO $100 PER MONTH IN MATCHING FUNDS FOR EMPLOYEES COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT. WHO PARTICIPATE IN A CITY SPONSORED COMP. PROGRAM OR A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT. THERE IS ALSO THE REMOVAL OF THE LIMITATION OF STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR HUMAN WASTE PAY. THAT PAY COMPENSATES INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING OUR HUMANCES IN OUR PARK RESTROOMS. WE HAD LIMITED IT TO 2 STAFF, BUT WE FOUND THAT THAT. DIDN'T ACTUALLY IT WASN'T FEASIBLE FOR. THE EMPLOYEES WHO PERFORM THOSE DUTIES. THE NEXT AREA OF THE AGREEMENT WAS A STANDBY DUTY WHICH BASICALLY CHANGED THE METHODOLOGY AND THE RATE OF PAY FOR STANDBY DUTY. IT WAS IDENTIFIED SOME TIME AGO THAT EMPLOYEES IN THESE CLASSIFICATIONS THAT ARE PAID FOR STANDBY. OR ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE IT DURING THEIR ACTUAL. REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS, DUE TO SOME LANGUAGE THAT WAS NOT. CLEARLY WRITTEN IN THE PREVIOUS AGREEMENT. SO WE'VE REVISED THAT TO MAKE IT AN HOURLY RATE. AND ONLY THOSE INDIVIDUALS FOR ACTUAL NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED. THE NEXT 2 PROVISIONS AFFECT VACATION AND SICK LEAVE, AND WERE ADDED TO PRORATE SICK LEAVE FOR. SICK LEAVE ACCRUES FOR EMPLOYEES WHO TAKE AN UNPAID LEAVE OF MORE THAN ONE PAY PERIOD. NEXT WE HAVE A REMOVAL AND OR ELIMINATION OF SICK LEAVE CASH OUT FOR NEW EMPLOYEES WHO ARE HIRED AFTER THE ADOPTION OF THIS MOU. THIS ELIMINATION OF SICK LEAVE CASH OUT WILL BE A SAVINGS TO THE CITY IN THE FUTURE. ONE OF THE MAJOR SAVINGS THAT WILL ALSO BE REALIZED BY THE CITY. WITH THIS AGREEMENT IS THE ELIMINATION OF THE RETIREE HEALTHCARE FOR FUTURE EMPLOYEES. THAT WAS A BIG WIN WITH THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE CITY. JUST BECAUSE OF THE COST OF HEALTHCARE. SO THERE'S SEVERAL PROVISIONS THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDED. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. INCLUDING HOW WE GO ABOUT. CONTRIBUTING THE. HEALTHCARE CONTRIBUTIONS, HOW WE ACTUALLY DEPOSIT THE HEALTHCARE CONTRIBUTIONS FOR ACTIVE EMPLOYEES. THAT WHOLE MODEL HAD TO BE REVISED IN ORDER FOR US TO ACCOMPLISH. THIS CHANGE TO RETIREE HEALTH BENEFIT. AS A RESULT OF THE REQUIREMENTS SET BY CALPERS. AND HOW WE ARE REQUIRED TO MATCH OUR RETIREE HEALTHCARE WITH OUR CURRENT EMPLOYEES. SO THOSE CHANGES WERE ALSO. ADDED INTO THIS AGREEMENT. AND THAT CONCLUDES THE CHANGES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE AGREEMENT. AND AS WELL AS MY PRESENTATION, AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. NO QUESTION, BUT JUST THANK YOU AGAIN, FOR I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A LONG HAUL ONE, AND SO APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS. AND APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE. ARE DOING OUR BEST TO BE MORE COMPETITIVE, SO WE CAN RECRUIT AND RETAIN. AND SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, VERONICA. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I. THANK YOU. ENOUGH. IT WAS HARD. BUT I THINK IS A WIN-WIN. IN THE LONG RUN. IT'S A WIN FOR THE CITY DEFINITELY. BUT GOOD SPREAD. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. AUDIENCE. MAYOR, IF I COULD JUST ADD ONE THING. SO LABOR NEGOTIATIONS ARE REALLY DIFFICULT AND. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW. LIMITED RESOURCES AND IN AN EMPLOYMENT ENVIRONMENT, AS VERONICA KIND OF MENTIONED. THAT'S SUPER COMPETITIVE RIGHT NOW, AND. WE'RE IN THE SERVICE BUSINESS, RIGHT? SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE PEOPLE TO DO THAT. FOR THE MOST PART. AND GOOD PEOPLE PREFERABLY. SO SOME OF THIS WAS ABOUT TRYING TO RETAIN AND AND CREATE MORE ATTRACTIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR REALLY GREAT FOLKS TO COME WORK HERE. BUT A LOT OF IT IS JUST TO SORT OF RECOGNIZE THAT MATT'S CREW DOES EVERYTHING FROM. YOU KNOW, CLEANING UP MINOR MESSES TO. PAVING PATCH PAVING TO POTHOLE TO TO MAKING SURE YOUR WATER IS CLEAN AND SAFE TO DRINK, TO MAKING SURE THAT YOUR SEWER FLUSHES WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO TO PICKING UP YOUR GARBAGE EVERY WEEK. PARKS, GETTING MODE ON AND ON AND ON AND ON, A LOT OF THE WORK THAT JUST KIND OF GOES GENERALLY UNNOTICED. A LOT OF THE TIME. AND SO I THINK IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO KIND OF RECOGNIZE THAT. THE SECOND HALF. JUST BECAUSE VERONICA MENTIONED IT. BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S AWARE OF HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. ONE OF THE BIG ASKS FROM THE COUNCIL DURING THIS NEGOTIATION WAS TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO BEGIN. TO PHASE AWAY HEALTH CARE, AND THAT'S A MODEL CHANGE IN LINCOLN THAT'S NEW AND NEWISH AND PLASTER COUNTY. FOR A LONG TIME IT WAS SORT OF THE STANDARD AROUND HERE THAT YOU OFFERED THAT BENEFIT. AND MOST. MANY COMMUNITIES HAVE KIND OF GOTTEN AWAY FROM IT, BECAUSE IT'S SIMPLY JUST NOT AFFORDABLE. FOR US TO DO IN THE LONG TERM, AND SO. PUT A FINER POINT ON IT. WHAT THIS WILL DO IS AS NEW FOLKS. ARE HIRED HERE. THEY WILL NOT BE RECEIVING THAT KIND OF BENEFIT UPON RETIREMENT. ONE DAY. AND SO, IN SOME SENSE, THAT'S SORT OF SAD, BUT IT ALSO WILL GIVE THE CITY RESOURCES IN THE FUTURE TO DO OTHER THINGS, TO MAKE EMPLOYMENT HERE ATTRACTIVE TO PEOPLE THAT WANT TO COME WORK HERE. SO JUST WANT TO ADD THAT LITTLE PART. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS REALLY QUICK. MAYOR ALSO. OBVIOUSLY COUNCILMEMBER. BEN BROWN'S NOT HERE, AND HE HAD ASKED ME EARLIER TO TELL YOU. THANK YOU AS WELL, AND HE APPRECIATES YOUR EFFORTS. OKAY, ANY COMMENTS ONLINE. NO HANDS, MAYOR. I WAS IMPRESSED THAT THERE WAS 53. WITHIN THIS GROUP THAT DO ALL OF THAT MAINTENANCE HE SPOKE ABOUT, AND I DO RECOGNIZE IT, AND I DO USE THE SERVICES OF THE CITY GREATLY, AND I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. IT DID PERK MY EARS BECAUSE I SPECIALIZE IN MEDICARE FOR CAREER. SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, AS WE PHASE AWAY FROM SUPPORTING THAT PART OF OUR EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY THAT WE PREPARE THEM THAT IF THEY RETIRE AT 55, THEY HAVE 10 YEARS. UNTIL THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. HEALTH INSURANCE. AND SO, AS WE WANT TO. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S A GOOD POINT THAT WE'VE. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A LOT SO SHE COULD ADDRESS THAT. THE PEPRA INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE NOW IN THE PEPPER GROUP. THEY'RE NOW WORKING UNTIL 62 OR LATER. THE OTHER AREA THAT WE ADDRESS THIS IN IS WITH REGARD TO THE DEFERRED COMP MATCH, WHERE IT'S AN EITHER COMP MATCH OF $100, OR IT'S A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT MATCH. SO THESE NEWER EMPLOYEES THAT ARE COMING IN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME SAVING NOW SO THAT THEY'RE PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE WHEN THEY DO HIT THE AGE OF NEEDING A RETIARY HELP. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. NONE NONE ONLINE. AND I'M LIKE, OH, I GOT THE MOTION. BILL, DO I MAKE THE MOTION. I MOTION THAT WE ADOPT RESOLUTION 2,024, 3. I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER, COUNCILMEMBER. ANDREA. YES, AND MAYOR CARL SKENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, VERONICA. THANK YOU. VERY MUCH. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS, ITEM 10. ME RESOLUTION, 20. 204. PERMANENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN. THE CITY OF LINCOLN COUNTY. THE TRANSFER PROPERTY TAX. OR THE ANNEXATION OF VILLAGE. 5. A. AND A PORTION OF THE VILLAGE. I HAVE A 5. SPECIFIC PLAN. WE. WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE. SO DEFINITELY. YES, THANK YOU. WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. IN FACT, WE'VE DONE THIS EXACTLY BEFORE. SO JUST REAL QUICKLY BRING EVERYBODY UP TO SPEED. IF. YOUR YOUR NEW TO THIS. PROJECT VILLAGE HAS BEEN A PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN ON THE BOOKS AND STUDIED AND LITIGATED, AND AND ADOPTED AND READED. FOR WELL OVER 10 YEARS BY CLOSER TO 15 YEARS. AND LAST YEAR THE CITY FINALLY MADE IT TO A PRETTY IMPORTANT POINT, WHICH WAS A LAUGHCO CONSIDERATION OF. THE ANNEXATION. THE LAKO BOARD APPROVED THAT ANNEXATION. IT WENT TO A VOTE. PROTEST, VOTE OF SOME OF OR FOR OF ALL AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS AND REGISTERED VOTERS IN. THE ANNEXATION AREA. THAT PROTEST VOTE FAILED, AND SO THEREAFTER WE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS WITH LAFCO. AND THE APPLICANT. MAJORITY PROPERTY OWNERS, AND ONE OF THE. PIECES OF ADVICE AND IDEAS THAT WAS RAISED WAS TO DO OUR BEST TO ACCOMMODATE THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THAT ANNEX AREA, WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED, AT LEAST AT THIS TIME, AND COMING INTO CITY LIMITS. AND REDRAW THE MAP ESSENTIALLY FOR A PHASED ANNEXATION. SO WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED THAT COUNCIL'S ALREADY APPROVED THAT THAT APPLICATION IS NOW SITTING IN LAFCO'S. OFFICE. ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THAT IS THAT THE CITY AND COUNTY NEED TO HAVE A TAX SHARING AGREEMENT ON. FOR THE HEARING TO PROCEED. IT'S A PROCEDURAL MATTER. IN SPEAKING WITH THE COUNTY, THEY FELT PRETTY STRONGLY THAT THE MAP NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED ON THE APPLICATION, OR EXCUSE ME ON THE TEXT, SHARING AGREEMENT TO REPRESENT WHAT NOW WILL BE PHASE ONE. OF THE ANNEXATION, EVEN THOUGH. THE REALITY IS AT LEAST IN MY OPINION, THAT OVER TIME I SUSPECT THAT THE. MAJORITY OF THE REST OF VILLAGE FIVEX. IN FUTURE PHASES. THAT SAID. IT'S A TECH. IT'S A TEXTUAL KIND OF TECHNICAL CHANGE. TO MAKE SURE THE DOCUMENT LINES UP CORRECTLY. AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE RESOLUTION IS SOME LANGUAGE PROPOSED BY THE COUNTY. THAT GIVES MYSELF AND THE CEO. THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE MAPPING. WITHIN THE AGREEMENT. SO THAT'S REFLECTIVE OF THIS NEW PHASE. AND ALSO GIVES US THE ABILITY TO SIT DOWN AND RETHINK THE RATIOS OF PROPERTY TAX, AS IT RELATES TO COMMERCIAL VERSUS RESIDENTIAL. SO JUST SUPER QUICKLY, SO I WON'T BORE EVERYBODY. THE WAY THAT IT WAS SET UP ORIGINALLY WAS. THE COUNTY IS GENERALLY CONCERNED WHEN YOU ANNEX PROPERTY FOR ANY RESIDENTIAL PURPOSE THAT AT THAT ADDS. COST TO THE COUNTY SERVICES. WE COULD DEBATE WHETHER OR NOT TO WHAT LEVEL WE AGREE WITH THAT, BUT THAT IS THE THESIS. SO THE WAY WE BUILT IT WAS THAT THE AND THEIR THEIR WORRY IS IS THAT SOMETIMES CITIES WILL ANNEX A BUNCH OF LAND THAT'S COMMERCIAL. AND THEN WE'VE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES, EVEN IN LINCOLN, A FEW YEARS LATER, COMES TO YOU AND SAYS, HEY, I CAN'T BUILD COMMERCIAL HERE BECAUSE IT JUST WON'T PENCIL. I GOTTA BUILD RESIDENTIAL INSTEAD. KENNY'S CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. SO ARE WE. SO THE WAY THAT WE WROTE THIS WAS TO DISINCENTIVIZE. FUTURE CITY COUNCILS FROM MAKING THAT LAND USE CHANGE. AND SO THE ESSENTIALLY THE WAY IT WORKS IS YOU GET A, YOU GET A BASE AMOUNT 38. OF PROPERTY TAX WILL GO TO THE CITY AND THE REMAINDER TO THE COUNTY OF OF OUR SPLIT. AS EACH PHASE OF COMMERCIAL BUILDS. SO THERE'S 4.3 MILLION. GIVE OR TAKE SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL THAT'S PLANNED FOR THAT AREA. THERE'S 4 RATIO LEVELS. SO AFTER A MILLION POINT 2 SQUARE. SQUARE FEET ARE BUILT. THAT SHARE RAGES TO 40% TAKE FOR THE CITY AND 60% COUNTY. IT THEN RAISES AGAIN AT 2.2 MILLION, AND AGAIN AT 3.3 MILLION, AND ENDS UP AT A 45 TO 55 SHARE. BETWEEN CITY AND COUNTY, OVER TIME. WE. IT MAY BE THAT BEFORE THIS IS ALL SAID AND DONE, BECAUSE NOW THIS PROJECT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALLER, THOSE RATIOS. CHANGE TO THE CITY'S ADVANTAGE, SO IT REMAINS EQUITABLE. AND WE INCLUDED SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT ALLOWS US TO MODIFY THAT A LITTLE BIT. SO IT'S FAIR FOR BOTH PARTIES, OR AT LEAST. PERCEIVED TO BE FAIR. SO. AND THE OTHER COMPONENT TO THIS AGREEMENT THAT'S SUPER IMPORTANT JUST TO POINT OUT IS THAT IT CONTAINS THE EXACT SAME THAT EXISTS IN SOME OF OUR OTHERS, WHICH ALLOWS A REOPENER CLAUSE AT ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE OF CONDITION. I I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU A YEAR AGO THAT I THOUGHT THAT LANGUAGE SORT OF THROWAWAY LANGUAGE. BUT WE ACTUALLY HAVE REP PRACTICE NOW OF REOPENING SOME AGREEMENTS, AND RENEGOTIATING THOSE WITH THE COUNTY. SO THAT WE CAN GET ADDITIONAL RESOURCES HERE IN THE CITY TO FUND POLICE AND FIRE AND OTHER ESSENTIAL FUND NEEDS. SO THAT'S THAT'S A TECHNICAL REASON THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR APPROVAL. IT WILL ALLOW THE PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD TO THE NEXT STEP AT LAFCO, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I DON'T KNOW PUBLIC QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE, YEAH. EVERYBODY ONLINE. SO WE DO HAVE A FEW FOLKS, MR. GARABEDIAN, PLEASE COME FORWARD. THANK YOU. MY CARE. OBEDIENT COUNTY. TOMORROW. WELL, MY 1ST ENGAGEMENT WITH LAFCO WAS IN 1,984, WHEN DIXON DID ITS 1ST ANNEXATION OUT TO I. 80, AS I LIVE SOUTH OF DIXON. AT THAT TIME SQL. DIDN'T APPLY TO IT, BUT A CASE OF THE BOSON CASE DID APPLY TO IT. AND I FOLLOWED LAFCO'S EVER SINCE, ESPECIALLY THE COMMISSION AND LOCAL GOVERNANCE IN THE 21ST CENTURY. WAS IT. TO THE SOUTH 2,000 REPORT AND REVISE THE LAFCO LAW. THE ACT. SO AT THE SUPERVISOR THIS MORNING. I OPPOSE THIS AGREEMENT. I FEEL THAT IT'S UNFAIR TO THE CITY OF LINCOLN. YOU'RE JUST. YOU'RE NOT IN THE SAME. DON'T HAVE THE SAME BARGAINING STRENGTH. AND I GUESS THIS ALLOWS SOME FLEXIBILITY TO TO DEAL WITH THIS, AND, AS I'VE TALKED, AS YOU WELL KNOW BEFORE, WHEN THE WHOLE AREA WAS BEFORE. FOR UP FOR VOTED. AND SO THEN, NORMALLY, YOU WAIT FOR A YEAR BEFORE TRYING AGAIN. BUT IN THIS CASE YOU WENT AHEAD AND. DEVELOP A NEW PROPOSAL, AND OVER. BUT I THOUGHT IT SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO HAVE PUBLIC INPUT BUT IT HASN'T. SO I'M REALLY QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND THE THE RAPIDITY OF GOING AHEAD WITH THIS, ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS AND THE QUESTION OF SERVICES TO THAT AREA. AND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I DON'T BLAME THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO BE INDEPENDENT FROM THE CITY FOR THEIR DESIRE TO DO THAT. BUT I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A NEW ASSESSMENT OF THIS FOR THE CITY THAT MIGHT HELP YOU WITH IT, BEING IN A BETTER POSITION WITH THE COUNTY. IT SEEMS THE WHOLE. PULL ALL THE CHIPS AND SO I I GUESS THAT'S MY MAIN MAIN POINT THAT. AT LEAST THERE'LL BE SOME CHANCE TO FOLLOW THIS IN THE FUTURE. BUT THIS MORNING IT TURNED OUT THE KEY COUNTY. PERSON WHO EVALUATES THIS HADN'T BEEN GIVEN THE PROPOSAL YET TO REVIEW. SO IT SEEMS IN THE VERY. UNCERTAIN STATE, AND I THINK THAT'S THE KIND OF INFORMATION YOU NEED BEFORE MOVING AHEAD. AND ALL I CAN SAY IS, GOOD LUCK. IT'S BAD SITUATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. ONLINE, NO ONE ONLINE, MAYOR. BUT NONE. OKAY. REVOKED. I MOVE APPROVAL. OF. ITEM 10 B. RESOLUTION 24, 2, 4. I CAN ALMOST IN A SECOND. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER. YES, MEMBER LORDSMAN. AND MAYOR CARL SKINNER. YEAH. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA. THANK YOU. I STARTED ON THE AGENDA. CITY MANAGER REPORTS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. JUST COUPLE QUICK THINGS. WANTED TO SEND A HUGE THANK YOU TO THE FRIENDS OF AUBURN AND THE OVER 160 VOLUNTEERS THAT SHOWED UP ON SATURDAY, THE 21ST TO. DO THEIR YEARLY MAJOR. CLEAN UP OF THE AUBURN RAVINE. THIS IS A SPECIAL EFFORT THAT'S ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT OUR. CREEK. CLEAN UP TEAM DOES. EVERY WEEK. AND SO THEY GENERATED, OR COLLECTED RATHER ABOUT 2,000 POUNDS OF TRASH. THAT DAY. THAT WAS TAKEN TO THE DUMP. AND SO IT JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA ABOUT THE SCALE OF. THE ISSUE WHEN YOU HAVE THIS DAY, WHEN A BUNCH OF VOLUNTEERS COME OUT TO HELP CLEAN UP THE CREEK AFTER WE'RE ALREADY CLEANING IT UP WEEKLY. SO. THAT'S THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM THAT WE'RE CONSISTENTLY DEALING WITH. SO SORRY. GO AHEAD. I MEAN, IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO GO BACK. AND LOOK AT LAST YEAR AND THE YEAR BEFORE. BECAUSE 2,000 SOUNDS LIKE A LOT. YEAH, BUT I THINK IT USED ME A LOT. NO, IT DID. AND IN FACT, WE'VE HAD WEEKS WHERE. JUST THE SMALL TEAM THAT GOES OUT OF 15 FOLKS. GETS ABOUT A TON. 2 TONS. SOMETIMES. IT'S COUPLE OF TRAILER LOADS THAT MATT'S TEAM TAKES TO THE DUMP ON A PRETTY REGULAR BASIS, AND YOU KNOW, JUST TO GIVE FOLKS AN IDEA ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH DOWN THERE. IT'S EVERYTHING FROM JUST NORMAL TRASH. YOU'D SEE ON. ANYWHERE TO TRANSMISSIONS OF CARS AND. TIRES, AND YOU KNOW, REFRIGERATOR, I MEAN YOU NAME IT PROBABLY FOUND IT DOWN THERE AT THIS POINT, SO. THAT CREEK DOESN'T. IS NOT A PLACE THAT PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY APPRECIATE JUST BECAUSE IT EXISTS AND APPRECIATE. IT'S THERE. YOU KNOW, NICE, BECAUSE THESE FOLKS ARE DEDICATED TO IT SO. IT DOESN'T REALLY DESERVE. ALL THE FRIENDS OF THE OPERAND ARE JUST A FABULOUS ORGANIZATION, AND WE'RE SUPER LUCKY TO HAVE THEM. SEPARATELY JUST WANTED TO THROW A BIG THANK YOU OUT TO CHRIS WYATT AND HARRIET GARLAND, WHO ARE MY PARTNERS ON SETTING UP THE SENIOR HEALTH AND SAFETY, FAIR. THAT WENT OFF LAST WEDNESDAY. IT WAS A SUPER SUCCESS. I BELIEVE IT. QUITE A FEW MORE PEOPLE THAN WE HAD THE YEAR BEFORE LEARNED A LOT OF LESSONS. WE HAD A MEMBER FROM A POLICE DEPARTMENT GIVEN SOME UPDATES ON KIND OF SENIOR AND ELDER SCAMS THAT ARE GOING ON. I THINK WE HAD SOMEBODY FROM THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF ELDER. WHAT IS IT CALLED CHIEF DEPARTMENT OF ELDER CRIMES UNIT? IS THAT WHAT IT IS. YEAH. CAME OUT. GAVE. SOME UPDATES ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE SEEING. WE HAD HEALTH. A A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT HOSPITALS AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS PRESENT. SERVICES FOR FOLKS. JUST ALL KINDS OF RESOURCES, AND SO IT SEEMED TO GO PRETTY WELL. WE'RE LEARNING A LITTLE BIT MORE EVERY YEAR ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WANT. THEY DON'T WANT SO HOPEFULLY. AS THE EVENT CONTINUES TO MATURE. YOU KNOW, IT BECOMES EVEN BIGGER. AND I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER MAJOR UPDATES EXCEPT FOR THEN HELD, EXCUSE ME, OUR CITY ENGINEER, K. HELD. PRETTY WELL ATTENDED. I WAS ACTUALLY SURPRISED, PRETTY WELL ATTENDED WORKSHOP ON LINCOLN BOULEVARD, AND SOME GRANT MONEY THAT WE'RE GOING AFTER. FOR. SOME ROADWORK OVER THERE, AND SO WE'LL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT, AND. I THINK I HAD. SORRY I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT. I THINK I HAD ONE MORE THAT I WANTED TO MENTION. I THINK THAT'S IT, FOR NOW I'LL PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING ELSE. BUT I'LL JUST REPORT A NEXT MEETING. OKAY. COUNSEL INITIATED, BUSINESS. I APOLOGIZE. I DID HAVE ONE MORE. THANK YOU, RICHARD. WE AT A BADGE. OH, EXCUSE ME, WE HAD A BADGE PENDING CEREMONY. FOR 2 NEW FIREFIGHTERS THAT WE HIRED. ON YESTERDAY, AND. AS CHIEF MENTIONED DURING HIS COMMENTS. WE TRY TO MAKE KIND OF A BIG DEAL OF EACH AND EVERY BADGE PITTING THAT WE DO HERE IN LINCOLN TO JUST SHOW THE. THE FIREFIGHTER OR POLICE OFFICER, WHOEVER MAY BE. APPRECIATION FOR THEIR SIGNING UP FOR THIS KIND OF SERVICE, BUT AS HE MENTIONS IN EVERY ONE OF HIS THINGS THAT THIS IS MORE ABOUT AS MUCH ABOUT THE FAMILY OF THOSE. FIRE POLICE OFFICERS. BECAUSE, AS HE SAYS. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE GONNA BE WAITING UP LATE AT NIGHT. WONDERING IF LAND THESE FOLKS ARE COMING HOME FROM A LATE OVERNIGHT SHIFT. WHETHER THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOME BEING INJURED ON A, ON A CALL. THEY'RE THEY'RE THE ONES OUT THERE, REALLY DEALING WITH THE DIFFICULT STUFF. AND SO WE'RE SUPER EXCITED. THESE 2 YOUNG MEN JUST CAME ON BOARD. THEY ACTUALLY COME TO US WITH QUITE A BIT OF FIREFIGHTING EXPERIENCE THEMSELVES. SO THEY'RE NOT NEWBIES. AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE NEW HIRES AS WE GO ALONG. BUT IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO BE IN SOMEWHAT OF A POSITION TO HAVE. YOU KNOW, A FAIRLY REGULAR PROCESS OF HIRING STAFF TO SUPPLEMENT AND REPLACE FOLKS THAT ARE RETIRING SO. LAST PART. AND DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR COUNCIL. I KNOW A BUSINESS NOW. OKAY COMMITTEE REPORTS. SO I HAVE ONE. I'M FILLING IN FOR PAUL FORCTA TOMORROW. BUT FOR THE WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY. OUR MEETING LAST WEEK OR 2 WEEKS AGO. OUR STAFF, OUR NEW, OUR NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HAS BEEN WORKING. VERY CLOSELY WITH FCC. THE OPERATOR, BECAUSE. SO THEY'RE BEHIND IN THE NEW PROJECT, AND THEY CAME FORWARD, AND THEY WANTED. LIKE 8 MILLION DOLLARS MORE FROM THE AUTHORITY TO DO ALL THESE THINGS. AND THEY SAID ALL THESE, YOU KNOW REASONS WHY. AND OUR STAFF. REALLY NEGOTIATED HER WITH THEM AND SAID, WE'RE NOT GONNA PAY THAT. AND SO WE. WE'VE GOT THEM BACK DOWN TO WHERE WE'RE NOT PAYING ANYTHING ELSE, AND THEY'RE STILL GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT BEHIND WITH THE FINAL BUILD. BUT THEY'RE BACK ON TRACK, AND IT'S SO IT'S BEEN A LITTLE FRUSTRATING, BUT I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH. OUR NEW DIRECTOR, SCOTT JOELS. HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB, AND HE'S GOT THEM IN LINE AND CRACKING THE WHIP AND. AND WE'RE NOT HAVING TO PAY. ANYTHING ELSE WHICH WE WEREN'T GOING TO, ANYWAY. BUT. NOW THEY'VE AGREED TO THAT. SO IT'S BEEN GOOD, I NOTICED. GENDER THAT THEY WERE GIVING DISINCENTIVES. WHICH IS NOT, YEAH. WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IN BUSINESS. SO. HE'S DOING A GOOD JOB OF MANAGING. I WELL, THE ONE I'LL REPORT ON. IS PIONEER. PIONEER, HENRY KING. MEETING, AND. MAJOR PART OF THE MEETING BY. WAS A DISCUSSION OF EXPANSION. THE. CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY IS. EXPAND, TO BE BETTER AND NOT BIGGER. SO THERE'S A RIM. SAYS IT GOES INTO. PLANNING OR LOOKING, OR DECIDING WHETHER YOU. EXPAND OR NOT. THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS. OF PLANNING, FOR WE SAW THE. VERY GOOD FINANCIALS. A MAJOR EXPANSION. WHICH, IN FACT, WILL DOUBLE THEIR. THEY'RE TALKING TO PEOPLE THAT. WANT TO COME IN. THAT WE'RE TALKING TO. THE EARLIEST IT CAN HAPPEN. BECAUSE OF THE FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF THE POWER AND. INDUSTRY, AND WHAT THE PRICE OF POWER IS NOW. IS 2027. SO WHAT? 3 YEARS OUT 2 AND 2 AND A HALF. ANYWAY, THE CITY OF CHICO, THE CITY OF ORVILLE. TIME OF PARADISE. COUNTY OF BUTTE. COUNTY OF NEVADA. THE CITIES AND THE ARE ALREADY MEMBERS OF JPA. AND IN SUTTER COUNTIES THAT HE LIVE. AND YUBA CITY. AND TUOLUMNE, THE CITY OF. ACCORDING TO THE EXPANSION COMMITTEE. THESE ARE CHERRY BIG. THIS IS A SUBSET. PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME TO PIONEER. JOIN THE JPA. MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD, THAT THAT. THE CHIEF. HE GETS GOALS. LIKE-MINDED, WHICH IS A MAJOR PART OF IT. THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE THE SAME SET OF VALUES. THAT THE THAT THE PIONEER HAS, WHICH IS PLASTIC. THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT, YOU KNOW. EATEN DOWN THE DOOR AND. WERE ABLE TO CHERRY PICK SO. THAT WAS A KIND OF EXCITING. DOUBLING THE REVENUE ALLOWS US TO. FINANCIAL STANDPOINT, GET LOWER PRICES. INVEST, IN. OUR GENERATION. ANYWAY. IT WAS A GOOD MEETING, AN EXCITING MEETING. MY SECOND, LAST ONE. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS INFORMATION ITEMS. MAYOR. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONE COMMENT, ONE PIECE OF INFORMATION. IN RESPONSE OR IN LIGHT OF SOME OF THE COMMENTS TONIGHT ABOUT THE GATHERING AND ISSUE. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY AGAIN, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT HEARD THIS OR NOT AWARE. IF YOU HAVE NOT ACTUALLY READ. NOW AGAIN, WE DO NOT HAVE ALL THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS THAT GO WITH THE GRANT APPLICATION THAT. TGI RECEIVED FROM THE STATE. BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE GRANT APPLICATION, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET A COPY OF IT, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO GIVE IT TO YOU AND READ THAT, BECAUSE WHAT THE GRANT APPLICATION IS. SAYS IS COMPLETELY OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY'RE PRESENTING TO THE PUBLIC. AND WHAT WAS PRESENTED HERE TONIGHT. IT'S NIGHT AND DAY ALARMING, AND THE OTHER PIECE OF THAT IS THIS, FACILITY IS NOT EVEN OPEN YET. AND WE ALREADY HAVE. HOMELESS FROM VERY GOOD SOURCES THAT WE KNOW ARE BEING HOMELESS. PEOPLE FROM SAN FRANCISCO ARE BEING GIVEN BUS AND RAIL TICKETS TO HERE. AND BECAUSE THE WORD IS OUT, AND WE ALSO HAD A COUPLE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS. COME ON CAMPUS OF GLEN EDWARDS MIDDLE SCHOOL, ASKING WHERE THE FACILITY WAS BECAUSE THEY NEED MEDICAL RESPITE, AND THEY CLEARLY WERE NOT. OLD AND INFIRMED. AND SO IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING WHAT WE FEARED WOULD BE HAPPENING, AND IT HASN'T EVEN OPENED YET. SO IF YOU ARE NOT INFORMED ABOUT WHAT THE APPLICATION ACTUALLY SAYS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD. READ IT, BECAUSE IT'S VERY ENLIGHTENING. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MAYOR. THANK YOU. CERTAINLY I JUST HELP FEELING I CAN'T HELP FEELING THAT NONE OF THIS WOULD BE NECESSARY IF WE HAD SUPPORTED THE CAMPUS. THAT WAS IN AN INDUSTRIAL AREA. NOT IN OUR CITY. AND YOU KNOW WE IT WAS JUST DISMISS WILLY-NILLY, BY THE BY, THE COUNCIL AND AND THE SUPERVISORS. IF THAT HAD HAPPENED WE WOULD BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. THAT'S 200 BEDS. IT WAS FULLY SERVICED. THE PGI KEPT PUSHING IT. REMEMBER, WE WENT TO SOME OF THEIR. EVENTS. YOU KNOW THAT THE CAMPUS OF HOPE, EVENTS. SO I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S MY! THAT'S THAT'S MY! THAT'S MY ONE. I HAVE AN INFORMATION. YOU WOULD. YEAH. WE SORRY? 3 OF US? OH, YEAH. AT THE RIB TEST. 12 BUSINESS AREA. ADD A HUGE. I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY THERE. BUT THEY PUT ON A RIB TEST. EVERY YEAR WE GOT TO JUDGE AND EAT THE RIB. BUT I COULDN'T BELIEVE. THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES THERE ARE. ALL FAMILIES OUT THERE, HAVING A GREAT TIME. RIBS AND. BEING IN BOUNCY BALLS AND. RIDING BULLS AND. IS A GREAT COMMUNITY EVENT. AS USUAL. YEP, IT'S ALWAYS A GREAT EVENT OUT THERE, AND IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. I TOLD PEOPLE THAT'S JUDGING RIBOFF CONTESTS IS MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. EASY, AND IT'S GOOD. THANK YOU. EVERYBODY. THANK YOU. EVERYBODY'S ADJOURNED.
