AND THIS PROGRAM, THE ARCHITECTS OF THIS PROGRAM WERE TRYING TO PROVIDE AN INCENTIVE FOR THOSE TO FIND SOMEONE TO HELP THEM GET TO THEIR ESSENTIAL NEED APPOINTMENTS.

COUNCIL: THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER. IN THIS COUNTY. 440,000 PEOPLE, 21% ARE OVER THE AGE OF 60, COUNCIL: 7% ARE IMPOVERISHED. COUNCIL: THERE'S A HUGE CHUNK OF FOLKS THAT ARE HAVING SOME DIFFICULTY GETTING TO ESSENTIAL NEED APPOINTMENTS COUNCIL: SO TO BE ELIGIBLE. THOSE ARE ESSENTIALLY THE ELIGIBLE REQUIREMENTS COUNCIL: WE PROVIDE THROUGH, AND I'LL LOOK BACK BEHIND ME. MICHAEL COUNCIL: MICHAEL COSTA, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE WESTERN PLACER CONSOLIDATED TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AGENCY. COUNCIL: WE ROLL OUT THIS PROGRAM THROUGH SENIORS FIRST.ST NOW WE'VE HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS. COUNCIL: IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM. COUNCIL: WE DO NOT PROVIDE THE DRIVER. COUNCIL: SO SOMEONE WHO'S HAVING DIFFICULTY USING TRANSPORTATION. GETTING TO THEIR APPOINTMENTS MUST HAVE A VOLUNTEER DRIVER. SO THAT COULD BE WELL, CONTEXT, OKAY, CONTEXT. HUSBAND, WIFE. COUNCIL: HUSBAND DRIVES, WIFE NO LONGER DRIVES. COUNCIL: HUSBAND IS TAKING WIFE TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, TO GROCERY SHOP, TO THE TO THE HAIR SALON, TO THE BANK. COUNCIL: ALL OF THOSE MILES MILES FOR THOSE TYPES OF TRIPS COUNCIL: THROUGH OUR PROGRAM ARE REIMBURSABLE. SO WHAT WE OFFER 200 MILES A MONTH, REIMBURSED AT 70 CENTS PER MILE. COUNCIL: 70 CENTS IS THE IRS STANDARD FOR REIMBURSEMENT 2025. COUNCIL: SO THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS COUNCIL: WHO FIT THIS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THAT SPACE. COUNCIL: HOLLY. IT'S I DON'T KNOW. IT'S POSSIBLE THAT YOUR PARENTS ARE NEARBY. ONE OF THEM MAY NOT DRIVE IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING THEM AT ANY TIME TO THE GROCERY STORE, TO THE PHARMACY, TO PHYSICAL THERAPY TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS TO DENTIST. COUNCIL: YOU AND YOUR PARENT COULD PARTICIPATE AND BE REIMBURSED, AND IT'S A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER COUNCIL: NOW. NOT SO. I KNOW WE HAVE DIAL A RIDE AND A FEW OTHER OTHER CITY COUNTY PROGRAMS OF TRANSPORTATION HERE. COUNCIL: BUT THIS IS ESSENTIALLY, REALLY FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T USE THAT RIGHT. COUNCIL: SO ELIGIBLE TRIPS AGAIN. COUNCIL: MEDICAL GROCERY SHOP, BANK, POST OFFICE COUNCIL: LAST WEEK TO THE CPA. LAST MINUTE, ALL ESSENTIAL TRIPS COUNCIL: AND AND REIMBURSABLE. AND THEN, WHEN WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS USING THE PROGRAM COUNCIL: MEANING THEY HAVE A VOLUNTEER DRIVER, AND THEY'RE SUBMITTING A LOG FORM LOGGING IN THEIR TRIPS FOR REIMBURSEMENT. IF THEY'RE DOING THAT ONGOING. COUNCIL: THEN WE HAVE A BAILOUT PROGRAM. SHOULD COUNCIL: THEIR VOLUNTEER DRIVER BE UNABLE TO TAKE THEM TO A MEDICAL APPOINTMENT, BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS THEN? RIGHT? OH, WE HAVE TO RESCHEDULE YOU. COUNCIL: OH, IT'S ONLY 4 4 WEEKS LATER. COUNCIL: RIGHT? SO WE HAVE. 2 TIMES A MONTH WE WILL OFFER A BAILOUT TRIP WHERE MONEY'S IN THE BUDGET TO PAY FOR A PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMPANY TO MAKE SURE THAT PERSON DOES NOT MISS THEIR MEDICAL APPOINTMENT COUNCIL: AND BRING THEM BACK. COUNCIL: SO WE HAVE FUNDING AVAILABLE THROUGH 2027 FOR THIS PROGRAM. COUNCIL: AND WE KNOW THE NEED. IS THERE BECAUSE 10,000 PEOPLE A DAY OR NATIONALLY, ARE TURNING 65 COUNCIL: 5,000 OF THEM, I THINK, ARE MOVING TO LINCOLN EVERY DAY COUNCIL: OR SO. IT SEEMS. PLACER COUNTY IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING COUNCIL: COUNTIES IN, FOR SURE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, BUT POSSIBLY IN CALIFORNIA AS WELL FOR SENIORS. COUNCIL: SO THAT'S THEY CAN ENROLL THROUGH. COUNCIL: I HAVE SOME PAMPHLETS THAT I'M LEAVING WITH HOPE, AND PEOPLE CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT IT. THEY CAN ENROLL WITH US, AND BUT THE KEY THING IS, THEY HAVE TO HAVE A VOLUNTEER DRIVER. I WISH WE COULD PROVIDE DRIVERS. I WISH THAT'S TOO MUCH OF A CHALLENGE. THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION. I ACTUALLY HAD THIS HANDED TO ME A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. SOMEBODY ON THE PCTPA BOARD GAVE IT TO ME COUNCIL: BECAUSE I WAS TALKING TO SENIORS ABOUT THIS VERY THING. I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. HOW WHAT'S THE TURNAROUND WHEN A VOLUNTEER DRIVER APPLIES FOR THIS TO GET THE PAPERWORK PROCESSED AND AND HAVE THEM APPROVED FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WHAT'S THE TIMEFRAME FOR THAT COUNCIL: WHEN WE GET THE APPLICATION? ASSUMING THAT THEY'VE LISTED A DRIVER AND THE DRIVER HAS SIGNED A WAIVER LIABILITY WAIVER IMMEDIATELY. MOREOVER, WHAT'S TODAY? THE 20 SECOND? SO IF SOMEONE SIGNED UP TOMORROW, THE 23, RD WE WOULD INVITE THEM TO LIST EVERY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION LEG TRIP COUNCIL: DATING BACK TO APRIL FIRST.ST SO. COUNCIL: AND WE WILL REIMBURSE FOR THAT. BUT IT'S IT'S INSTANTANEOUS, REALLY RIGHT? COUNCIL: THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL. COUNCIL: SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PROGRAM. HOW MANY TRIPS DO YOU MAKE IN A MONTH OR A YEAR? COUNCIL: HOW MANY TRIPS DO WE DO WE MAKE IN A MONTH? DOES YOUR PROGRAM OFFER? WELL, RIGHT NOW? SO IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR A FEW YEARS RECENTLY, SENIORS 1ST HIRED A MOUTHPIECE FOR IT. YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEM. AND THAT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER. SO UP UNTIL OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, WE WERE WE WERE COUNCIL: PAYING OUT ROUGHLY 50 OR SO A MONTH. REIMBURSEMENTS. COUNCIL: LAST MONTH WE HIT A HUNDRED 7. NOW, PEOPLE AREN'T USING UP ALL 200 MILES A MONTH. COUNCIL: RIGHT? I MEAN. SOME ARE ARE, YOU KNOW, 10 MILES, 15 MILES. SOME ARE 75 MILES, SO IT'S I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER OFFHAND. I DON'T KNOW, MIKE. WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE THAT? COUNCIL: OKAY? COUNCIL: THANK YOU. QUESTIONS. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ON THIS, OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REAL QUICK. COUNCIL: ANYBODY ONLINE, HEY, MARK? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION. VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU. COUNCIL: ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM 9 B. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM JAMES CORLISS, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SACOG SACRAMENTO, OR SACRAMENTO AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT GOVERNANCE. ARE YOU OKAY FOR ME TO DO THAT. OKAY, SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF INTRODUCTION HERE. SO JAMES CORLISS IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SACOG SACRAMENTO AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS. IN CASE YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT ACRONYM. COUNCIL: AND JAMES IS HERE TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE REGION'S LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION LAND USE PLAN WHICH WE CALL THE 2025 BLUEPRINT. AND I'M NEW ON JAMES'S BOARD. AND SO I'M LEARNING WHAT THAT MEANS COUNCIL: AS LOCAL LEADERS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW OUR PLANNING DECISIONS AT A LOCAL LEVEL IMPACT, NOT JUST OUR OWN CITY OR COUNTY, BUT THE ENTIRE REGION. COUNCIL: THE WAY WE DESIGN TRANSPORTATION, INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT INFLUENCES BROADER REGIONAL PATTERNS FROM ECONOMIC GROWTH TO ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY. IF WE THINK REGIONALLY, WE CAN CREATE MORE VIBRANT AND CONNECTED COMMUNITIES THAT IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR EVERYONE AND FOR LINCOLN AND IN OUR REGION. COUNCIL: THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT, BECAUSE, AS WE ALL KNOW, WE'RE FACING TOUGH REALITIES AROUND TRANSPORTATION FUNDING. COUNCIL: ESPECIALLY WITH THE THE NOT PASSING OF MEASURE B, AND WE CAN'T BUILD EVERYTHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO. SO IT'S CRUCIAL THAT WE'RE STRATEGIC AND PRIOR PRIORITIZE INVESTMENTS THAT ADDRESS BOTH OUR LOCAL NEEDS AND THE REGION'S COLLECTIVE GOALS. SO SACOG PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN ADVOCATING FOR COMMUNITIES IN THIS REGION AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS COUNCIL: BY WORKING TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY OUR SHARED PRIORITIES. SACOG HELPS THE REGION BE MORE COMPETITIVE FOR FUNDING TO SUPPORT OUR PROJECTS. SO YOU'LL YOU'LL HEAR MORE ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT TODAY. OUR CITY HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS THROUGH OUR LOCAL PLANNING EFFORTS FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. SO WELCOME, JAMES, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBERS. IT'S REALLY NICE TO BE HERE. YOU GOT THE TRANSPORTATION THEME APPARENTLY, TONIGHT, AND I JUST WANT TO SAY WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH PCTPA AND MIKE COSTA HERE IN THE AUDIENCE. SO IF YOU'RE WONDERING, AS YOU SHOULD, AND OFTEN ASK, WHAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP? WE WORK REALLY CLOSELY TOGETHER. PCTPA IS YOUR COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PARTNER, AND WE'RE YOUR REGIONAL PARTNER, AND WE TRY TO WORK SEAMLESSLY TOGETHER. COUNCIL: SO I'VE GOT A FEW SLIDES TO WALK THROUGH HERE. THERE THEY ARE, ALL RIGHT. WE'RE COMING UP. AND MIRA ANDRADE, YOU SORT OF MENTIONED YOU'RE YOU KNOW YOU'RE LEARNING THE LANGUAGE. I THINK YOU'RE DOING GREAT. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT. THAT'S WHAT WE CALL OUR PLAN. YOU WOULDN'T BUILD A HOUSE WITHOUT A BLUEPRINT. COUNCIL: YOU WOULDN'T BUILD A REGION WITHOUT A BLUEPRINT. AND SO, REALLY, WHAT THIS IS IS A PLAN THAT LOOKS ACROSS ALL 6 COUNTIES AND 22 CITIES COUNCIL: FOR 25 YEARS OUT IN THE FUTURE. NOW WE CANNOT PREDICT THE FUTURE. IF WE DID, WE'D BE OUT IN LAS VEGAS MAKING A LOT OF MONEY. WE DO FORECAST, AND WE TRY TO SORT OF SCENARIO PLAN THE FUTURE BUILDING UP FROM YOUR GENERAL PLAN. SO, WORKING WITH YOUR STAFF VERY CLOSELY, WE START WITH YOUR GENERAL PLANS, AND WE START WITH YOUR TRANSPORTATION PLANS, AS THE MAYOR SAID, WE CAN'T AFFORD EVERYTHING, SO WE HAVE TO KNIT TOGETHER VERY CAREFULLY A FISCALLY CONSTRAINED PLAN. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY COUNCIL: THIS PLAN THAT WE'RE CALLING THE BLUEPRINT IS CRITICAL, FOR WHEN WE GO TO THE STATE CAPITOL IN SACRAMENTO, OR WE GO BACK TO CONGRESS IN WASHINGTON, DC. BECAUSE WHAT'S IN THIS PLAN WILL MATTER, AND IT WILL HELP US BE MORE COMPETITIVE COUNCIL: FOR GRANTS. SO WITH THAT, OKAY, I'M GONNA TRY TO. COUNCIL: I KNOW I CAN DO THIS. COUNCIL: WHERE DO I POINT? COUNCIL: I'M GLITCHING. THAT'S OKAY. WE'RE HELP IS ON THE WAY. COUNCIL: OKAY. COUNCIL: LOOK AT THAT. THAT'S PERFECT. EVERYBODY NEEDS SOME HELP SOMETIMES. OKAY, SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SACOG. SO WE'RE THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS. ACTUALLY, SINCE 2,003, WE HAVE REPRESENTED EVERY SINGLE LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN THE REGION. SO FOR COUNCIL: COVERING AN AREA. THIS VAST OF THESE 6 COUNTIES, FROM THE SACRAMENTO DELTA TO THE TAHOE RIM UP TO YUBA AND SUTTER OUT TO YOLO COUNTY. EVERY SINGLE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SITS AROUND OUR TABLE TWICE A MONTH, SO EVERY CITY, EVERY COUNTY IS REPRESENTED, BECAUSE USUALLY IN MOST LARGE REGIONS THE SEATS ROTATE. COUNCIL: YOU DON'T ROTATE. LINCOLN HAS A PERMANENT SEAT, AND THE MAYOR SITS ALONGSIDE EVERY SINGLE OTHER JURISDICTION, AND THE THING THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING MOST RECENTLY, WHICH YOU'VE JUST STARTED TO GET A SENSE OF IS, WE'RE NOW ROTATING OUR BOARD MEETING AROUND THE REGION. COUNCIL: SO WE WERE JUST IN IN ROCKLAND EARLIER. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO UNINCORPORATED SACRAMENTO COUNTY IN JUNE. AND AND WE'RE HOSTED BASICALLY BY OUR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO WHEATLAND LATER THIS FALL SO THAT OUR BOARD CAN UNDERSTAND THE INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL AND OPPORTUNITY THAT EXISTS IN THE REGION. SO SOMETHING THAT OUR BOARD REALLY LIKES. COUNCIL: WE ARE GROUNDING OUR LONG-RANGE PLAN AGAIN, LOOKING OVER 25 YEARS ACROSS THIS ENTIRE 6 COUNTY REGION. WE'RE GROUNDED WHAT WE CALL A TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE FRAMEWORK, EQUITY, ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT. COUNCIL: WE'VE DONE A LOT OF OUTREACH IN THIS PLAN. IN FACT, WE'VE DONE MORE OUTREACH AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THAN WE'VE EVER DONE BEFORE. WE'VE DEVELOPED THEMES ALONG WITH. FROM ALL OF THAT OUTREACH. WE'VE DONE A POLL. WE'VE DONE MULTIPLE FOCUS GROUPS IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. COUNCIL: WE'VE DONE SURVEYS. WE'VE DONE POP-UP EVENTS IN EVERY COUNTY, MULTIPLE IN EVERY COUNTY, AND WE'VE HEARD SOME PRETTY CONSISTENT THEMES THAT ARE HERE, BUT INCLUDING THINGS LIKE, I WOULD LOVE A ROBUST, CLEAN, SAFE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO SAY THE PRESENTATION YOU HEARD BEFORE ME. AND JUST REIMBURSING ON RIDES. THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF INNOVATIVE CREATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT WE NEED TO ALL OVER OUR REGION TO BE REALLY CREATIVE. ABOUT, HOW DO WE SOLVE OUR MOBILITY CHALLENGES COUNCIL: WHEN WE WENT OUT AND WE SURVEYED ACROSS ALL 6 COUNTIES, AND WE ASKED PEOPLE, WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FACING YOUR COMMUNITY, AND THIS MAY NOT BE A SURPRISE, BUT IT IS HOUSING AND THE COST OF HOUSING. IT IS THE CONCERN ABOUT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TO HAVE OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN AFFORD TO LIVE IN THIS REGION RIGHT? BECAUSE WE'RE GROWING VERY FAST, AND WE'VE BEEN IN A HOUSING CONSTRUCTION DEFICIT FOR FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. COUNCIL: SO WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED WHEN WE DO THIS PLAN? THIS IS A VERY TECHNICAL PLAN. WE DO A LOT OF DEMOGRAPHIC FORECASTING. AND AGAIN WE KNIT TOGETHER EVERYTHING, STARTING WITH YOUR WITH YOUR GENERAL PLANS. THIS IS THE PLAN ALSO THAT HELPS US MEET ALL OF OUR STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS AND MANDATES COUNCIL: AROUND AIR QUALITY. BUT IT ALSO IS A PLAN THAT TRIES TO REPRESENT EVERY COMMUNITY AND THE DIVERSITY OF ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES. SO HERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU PROBABLY KNOW IN LINCOLN ALL TOO WELL, AND IN PLACER COUNTY. THE REMARK WAS MADE EARLIER. I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS, ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING COUNTIES IN CALIFORNIA. WE'RE ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING REGIONS IN CALIFORNIA. BY THE 2020 CENSUS WE WERE THE FASTEST GROWING METRO REGION. COUNCIL: AND THE THE GREEN LINE. HERE IS THE 6 COUNTY SACRAMENTO REGION. SO ON AN ANNUAL GROWTH RATE, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE TRENDING WAY ABOVE THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE FOR POPULATION GROWTH AND THE NATIONAL AVERAGE COUNCIL: THAT WILL SLOW DOWN OVER TIME. OUR FORECAST IS, WE WILL SLOW THE RATE OF GROWTH, BUT WE WILL STILL BE ABOVE NATIONAL AND STATEWIDE AVERAGES. COUNCIL: WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF THE REGION? SO RIGHT NOW, IN THE 6 COUNTIES, WE'RE ABOUT 2.5 MILLION PEOPLE, AND WE FORECAST WE'RE GOING TO GROW BY ANOTHER 600,000 BY THE YEAR 2050. THAT WOULD PUT US AT 3.1 MILLION. THAT'S THE POPULATION OF METROPOLITAN DENVER TODAY, WHICH IS WHY WE TOOK OUR BOARD BACK TO DENVER LAST YEAR LAST SUMMER, AND WE MET WITH LOCAL LEADERS THERE, AND WE LEARNED ABOUT THE DECISIONS THEY MADE 20 YEARS AGO TO MAKE DENVER A SUCCESSFUL REGION BECAUSE THEY WERE BASICALLY 20 YEARS AGO, WHERE WE ARE TODAY. COUNCIL: SO WHAT COULD WE LEARN FROM THAT? SO 600,000 MORE PEOPLE? WE HOPE, IF WE'RE LUCKY, 260,000 MORE JOBS IN THE REGION WHICH WILL REQUIRE 278,000 HOUSING UNITS. HERE ARE THE NUMBERS IN LINCOLN. IT'S AN 18,000 INCREASE IN POPULATION, 7,900 JOBS AND 8,700 HOUSING UNITS. COUNCIL: WE KNOW THAT YOU COULD BUILD A LOT MORE THAN THAT, BUT THAT'S THE FORECAST, AS IT SORT OF ALLOCATES ACROSS THE REGION, AND I WILL SAY ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT HAVING A VERY FAST GROWTH RATE IN PLACER COUNTY IS WE REALLY WANT TO HELP SUPPORT IN ANY WAY WE CAN YOUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND YOUR IDEA ABOUT BRINGING JOBS TO PLACER. SO PEOPLE AREN'T COMMUTING TOO FAR. COUNCIL: OUR GROWTH FOOTPRINT CALLS FOR ABOUT 2 THIRDS OF OUR GROWTH, BUILDING OUT AN EXISTING URBAN FOOTPRINTS OR EXISTING GENERAL PLANS OR INCORPORATED AREAS. AND ABOUT ABOUT 1 3RD OF THAT GROWTH IN NEW GROWTH AREAS. RIGHT. AND YOU AGAIN. YOU KNOW THIS VERY WELL HERE IN LINCOLN. IT'S A MIX OF GROWING OUT SORT OF OUR EXISTING FOOTPRINT, BUT ALSO A LOT OF OUR NEW GROWTH AREAS THAT REQUIRE A LOT OF CHALLENGES AND CREATE CHALLENGES. COUNCIL: SO WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE IN IN LINCOLN? WE'RE REALLY DELIGHTED THAT WE WERE ABLE TO COUNCIL: PROVIDE YOU ONE OF OUR GREEN MEANS. GO, GRANTS FOR YOUR DOWNTOWN PLAN. YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC DOWN HERE TOWN HERE. I LOVE IT EVERY TIME I COME. SO, HOWEVER, WE CAN WORK WITH YOUR STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE DOING THE PLANNING AND AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO REALLY ALLOW YOUR DOWNTOWN TO THRIVE COUNCIL: AND TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE. WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE LINCOLN BOULEVARD PROJECT IN PART OF WHAT WE CALL OUR PLACER SACRAMENTO GATEWAY GRANT PROPOSAL TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, CURRENTLY SITTING WITH THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION AGAIN, WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH PCTPA. THIS IS ONE OF THESE WHERE THAT PROJECT IS KNIT TOGETHER WITH PROJECTS IN ROCKLAND AND DOWN THE I-EIGHTY CORRIDOR AND IN THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO, AND WE HAVE A GRANT APPLICATION COUNCIL: AGAIN, IN FRONT OF THE STATE CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION. RIGHT NOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO COMMISSIONERS AND REALLY TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT THOSE INVESTMENTS ARE. AND ALSO WHEN WE ACTUALLY WORK TOGETHER ACROSS JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES, AND WE KNIT TOGETHER SOME OF THOSE CORRIDOR APPROACHES. WE CAN BE MORE SUCCESSFUL AND MORE COMPETITIVE FOR GRANTS. COUNCIL: THE MAYOR SAID THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY FACING A LOT OF TRANSPORTATION FUNDING CHALLENGES. SO WE'VE GOT TO BE SMARTER ABOUT HOW WE INVEST AND HOW WE THINK ABOUT TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS. WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN BUILD THEM QUICKER, BUILD THEM LOWER COST, AND ALSO MAKE SURE THAT WHILE WE EXPAND OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, WE ALSO FOCUS ON MAINTAINING OUR STREETS AND OUR SIDEWALKS AND AND REPAIRING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE COUNCIL: SO THAT ALL KNITS TOGETHER. I'M WINDING UP HERE IN IN OUR LONG RANGE PLAN. WE'RE IN THE HOME STRETCH HERE IN MAY OF THIS YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO RELEASE A DRAFT PLAN THAT'LL BE OUT FOR THE MONTHS OF JUNE AND JULY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ALONG WITH A DRAFT. COUNCIL: EIR, AND THEN WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO OUR BOARD IN SEPTEMBER AND HOPEFULLY ADOPT A FINAL PLAN AND A FINAL EIR IN NOVEMBER. ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS PLAN IS THAT IT WILL HOPEFULLY MAKE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORTATION GRANTS MORE COMPETITIVE. BUT ALSO, IF YOU HAVE LAND USE PROPOSALS, HOUSING, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IN OUR PLAN. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET SOME BENEFITS OUT OF SOME STREAMLINING ON ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWS AS WELL. SO THAT'S ALL PART OF WHAT WE TRY TO DO COUNCIL: ACROSS THE REGION. AND THEN A PLAN WOULD NOT BE A PLAN IF WE DIDN'T TRY TO IMPLEMENT IT. AND JUST A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE AS WAYS TO IMPLEMENT OUR PLANS, WHICH WHICH DEPEND IMPLEMENTATION DEPENDS ON ALL OF YOU AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. SO I MENTIONED, GREEN MEANS GO. COUNCIL: WE'VE IDENTIFIED OUR CITIES AND COUNTIES, IDENTIFIED AREAS FOR MORE INVESTMENT AND MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACROSS ALL 6 COUNTIES, INCLUDING RIGHT HERE IN LINCOLN WE HAVE A TRAILS PLAN ACROSS OUR 6 COUNTIES THAT IF WE COULD CONNECT AND KNIT TOGETHER OUR TRAILS, WHICH I KNOW YOU GOT A LOT OF GREAT ONES HERE IN LINCOLN, BUT ACROSS THE REGION AND ACROSS COUNTIES THEY'RE KIND OF DISCONNECTED. THEY STOP AND START. WE'VE DONE A PLAN THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS AT CONNECTING EVERY CORNER OF OUR 6 COUNTY REGION NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION, WHICH WOULD GIVE US. COUNCIL: IF WE COULD BE SUCCESSFUL, 1,000 MILES PLUS OF PAVED WALKING AND BIKING TRAILS WHERE FAMILIES AND PEOPLE OF ALL AGES WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SAFE. AND FINALLY, IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT, WE HAVE A MEGA REGION COUNCIL: WORKING GROUP, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE'RE 6 COUNTIES AND WE'RE A FAST GROWING REGION, WE'RE INCREASINGLY TIED TO THE BAY AREA AND THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, SO WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY IMPORTANT PROJECTS THAT AS A COLLECTIVE COUNCIL: 3 REGIONS WE ADVOCATE FOR INCLUDING THE 3RD TRACK UP TO ROOSEVELT FOR THE CAPITOL CORRIDOR AND SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON INTERSTATE 80. AND THEN, FINALLY, AS WE GO BACK TO DC. AND WORK WITH OUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES, WE HAVE SOME IMPORTANT PRIORITY PROJECTS HERE FEATURING HIGHWAY. 65. I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT A BOTTLENECK THAT IS, WHAT WE CALL THE PLACER SACRAMENTO GATEWAY THAT I JUST MENTIONED. SO COUNCIL: WITH THAT I'LL JUST SAY THAT WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER. WE'RE STRONGER AS A TEAM. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT IN FISCALLY CHALLENGING TIMES, SHALL WE SAY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL AND THE STATE LEVEL THAT WE REALLY WORK ACROSS JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES ACROSS COUNTY LINES. COUNCIL: NONE OF THIS ALL OF THIS WORK AND AND THE VISIONS OF OUR COMMUNITIES IN OUR REGION IS BIPARTISAN. WE HAVE A BIPARTISAN DELEGATION IN CONGRESS AND ONE IN THE LEGISLATURE. SO IF WE'RE A TEAM, WE PUT OURSELVES IN PURPLE FROM TIME TO TIME. THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE CAN'T ACCOMPLISH TOGETHER. SO WITH THAT. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, JAMES. APPRECIATE THAT ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL. COUNCIL: I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I JUST WANTED. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME AND EFFORT YOU GUYS PUT INTO THIS AND COUNCIL: AND THAT, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU REALLY IDENTIFY REALLY KIND OF THE THE ISSUES AND PROBLEMS OR THE NEEDS OF THE COUNCIL: RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW, WORK IN PROGRESS. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OUTREACH. COUNCIL: BUT YOU GOTTA DO COUNCIL: GO AHEAD. SO COUNCIL: YEAH, I WAS EXCITED TO SEE THE READY SET TRAILS. I HADN'T HEARD ABOUT THAT YET, OR COUNCIL: WE'RE DUG INTO THIS PRESENTATION. AND I'M CURIOUS. COUNCIL: WHERE HOW DO WE GET PLUGGED INTO THAT? HOW DOES THAT WORK? CAN YOU EXPAND ON THAT A LITTLE BIT? SURE. AND THAT'S WHERE I'D POINT TO MIKE COST IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM AND SAY, LIKE, YOU KNOW, PCB. IS A GREAT PARTNER. 1ST OF ALL, I'D SAY SATURDAY IS NATIONAL TRAILS DAY. SO JUST CHECK THAT OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WE'RE JUST REALLY TRYING TO GET THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAILS AS IT HAS SO MANY BENEFITS, RIGHT SAFETY, HEALTH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. COUNCIL: SO SATURDAY'S NATIONAL TRAILS DAY AND MAY IS BIKE MONTH. MAY IS A BIG, BIG OLD MONTH. SO THERE'S LOTS OF THINGS YOU CAN DO EVEN ELECTED OFFICIALS TO DO. BIKE RIDES WITH STUDENTS AND GOING TO SCHOOL AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE KIND OF SAFE FACILITIES. YOU'RE PRETTY PLUGGED IN, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU WITH PCTPA ON THE TRAILS PLAN, BECAUSE THERE'S A COUPLE OF COUNCIL: WHAT WE CALL ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANS THAT ARE UNDERWAY WITHIN PLACER COUNTY, AND SO MAKING SURE THOSE ALL KNIT TOGETHER IS KIND OF THE KEY, AND THEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR PRIORITIES ARE, AND HOW WE CAN WORK WITH PCTPA TO LINE YOU UP FOR THE APPROPRIATE GRANT FUNDING. COUNCIL: OKAY, EXCELLENT. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE. COUNCIL: ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC. HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. CORLISS. COUNCIL: COME ON UP TO THE COUNCIL: YES, THANK YOU, PAUL. THOSE AND IT'S GREAT TO HEAR ABOUT THE TRAILS. THERE'S A NUMBER OF US THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THAT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH COUNCIL: SEAN AND OTHERS IN THE GROUP HERE. BUT THE QUESTION I REALLY HAVE IS, IS THERE ANY PLANS FOR THE BRIDGE AT 1 93, AND FERRARI RANCH TO BE EXPANDED? COUNCIL: YOU'RE SMIRKING LIKE YOU HAVE AN ANSWER. YEAH, THAT'S MORE OF A LOCAL QUESTION. GO AHEAD. YES, IT'S A LONG, VERY EXPENSIVE, AND FRUSTRATING PROJECT, AND WE'RE IN THE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. THAT SOUNDS VERY UNUSUAL FOR TRANSPORTATION. IT'S A HIGHWAY BRIDGE PROGRAM. SO HIGHWAY BRIDGE PROGRAM. COUNCIL: ANYBODY ELSE ANYBODY ONLINE? COUNCIL: HEY? THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR, REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME. AND AS BEN SAID THAT THE OUTREACH WILL REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, MAYOR, FOR SERVING ON THE BOARD. THANK YOU. YEAH. IT'S MY PLEASURE. COUNCIL: HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. COUNCIL: OKAY? COUNCIL: HUH? YEAH. GO. KINGS. YEAH. COUNCIL: OH, OKAY, YEAH. COUNCIL: ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM 10, A PUBLIC COMMENT. THIS IS A TIME FOR A PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON AGENDA ITEMS WITHIN THE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OF THE COUNCIL, AND I HAVE ONE CARD. SO WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, OR WHEN YOU COME UP, PLEASE COME TO THE MIC. MAKE SURE THE MIC IS ON. YOU HAVE 3 MIN, AND THE COUNCIL WILL BE HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT. SO WE'LL START WITH MARCIUS SCHNAPP. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. AND GOOD EVENING. I JUST WANT TO WELCOME CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ARE NEW THIS YEAR. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN HERE A WHILE, BUT I HAVEN'T SO COUNCIL: JUST WANT TO WELCOME YOU ALL. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MARCIA SCHNAPP. I'M A RESIDENT OF LINCOLN. I'M ALSO A BOARD MEMBER OF THE FRIENDS OF THE LINCOLN COUNCIL: CROSSING NATURE PRESERVE. SO SOME OF YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT YET. COUNCIL: THERE IS A NATURE PRESERVE. HERE. IT WAS ESTABLISHED OVER 20 YEARS AGO, WHEN THEY WANTED TO BUILD LINCOLN CROSSING. COUNCIL: AND IT IS A FEDERALLY PROTECTED NATURE PRESERVE. COUNCIL: LAST YEAR WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A PAIR OF BALD EAGLES VISIT THE NATURE PRESERVE. AND HOW MANY URBAN CITIES CAN SAY THAT? COUNCIL: SO, ANYWAY, IT'S A PRETTY SPECIAL PLACE THE AUBURN CREEK GOES THROUGH IT, AND THAT'S A PROTECTED SALMON SPAWNING STREAM. COUNCIL: AND THERE ARE PATHWAYS THROUGH IT. SO IT'S A VERY NICE AREA. WE'VE BEEN IN CONVERSATION WITH CITY STAFF ABOUT DOING SOME NECESSARY MAINTENANCE AS WELL AS ENHANCEMENT TO THE PRESERVE. USUALLY WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS DIRECTLY WITH CITY STAFF AND THROUGH THE PARK AND REC MEETINGS. BUT THE PARK AND REC MEETINGS HAVE BEEN KIND OF ABSENT LATELY. COUNCIL: SO AT THIS POINT WE'VE SENT A COUPLE EMAILS. BUT AT THIS POINT WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS GET SOME STATUS UPDATES. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING. WE BASICALLY SENT COMMUNICATION ON DECEMBER 3RD ONE AGAIN ON MARCH 13TH AND ONE ON 4, 6. AND SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS A REPLY TO OUR EMAILS. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COUNCIL: YOU WANT TO RESPOND BACK. SURE SO WE COULD GO THROUGH THE EMAIL CHAIN IF YOU'D LIKE BUT COUNCIL: A COUPLE TIMES LEADING UP TO LAST YEAR WE WE MET WITH THE GROUP AND THE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE THE FRIENDS OF THE LINCOLN NATURE. COUNCIL: LINCOLN CROSSING NATURE PRESERVE HAS SORT OF CHANGED OVER TIME. IT STARTED OFF WITH COUNCIL: SORT OF MORE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT COUNCIL: SHOULD AND SHOULDN'T BE DONE IN THAT AREA. AND THEN OVER TIME CHANGED INTO DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WELL, WHAT KINDS OF THINGS CAN WE TRY TO FIND RESOURCES TO COUNCIL: IMPROVE THE NATURE PRESERVE BY IMPROVE I MEAN. COUNCIL: NOT URBANIZED, I MEAN INCREASED PLANTING OF OAK AND AND OTHER PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY SORTS OF IMPROVEMENTS. COUNCIL: SO THE WAY THE CITY FUNDS, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS IS THROUGH OUR OAK TREE MITIGATION FEE THAT IT'S CHARGED ON NEW DEVELOPMENTS. SO COUNCIL: WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IS THAT WHEN A DEVELOPMENT OCCURS IN ANOTHER AREA OF LINCOLN COUNCIL: AND THEY THEY, THE PROPERTY OWNER OR DEVELOPER, INTENDS TO CLEAR CUT OAKS, THERE'S A COUNCIL: FAIRLY LONG AND COMPLICATED PROCESS OF DETERMINING THE SIZE AND AGE. AND AND THERE'S A FORMULA THAT ESSENTIALLY ASSESSES A FEE. COUNCIL: IF IT'S A TREE THAT CAN'T BE RELOCATED, RELOCATED, OR SAVED. COUNCIL: AND SO THEY PAY THAT FEE COUNCIL: THAT GOES INTO A BUCKET OF MONEY THAT THE CITY HAS USED OVER THE YEARS TO DO RESTORATION PROJECTS. WE DONATED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF IT TOWARDS THE CLOVER VALLEY PRESERVATION PROJECT, WHICH JUST RECENTLY COUNCIL: WAS WELL, AT LEAST PARTIALLY COMPLETED, AND THERE IS SOME MONEY LEFT COUNCIL: FOR A LARGER SCALE, PLANTING EFFORT IN LINCOLN CROSSING NATURE PRESERVE. AND SO WE HAVE A PROJECT THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE 25 THROUGH 27 BUDGET FOR A SIGNIFICANT COUNCIL: TREE PLANTING EFFORT THAT WILL SPAN A VARIETY OF AREAS WITHIN THE PRESERVE. WE ACTUALLY ALREADY HAVE HIRED A COUNCIL: A BIOLOGICAL ARBORIST FIRM TO DESIGN IT, BECAUSE WE'VE LEARNED SOME LESSONS OVER THE YEARS ABOUT COUNCIL: DOING IT WITH LESS EXPERT HELP HAS NOT USUALLY LED TO THE TREES SURVIVING. AND COUNCIL: SO THIS PROJECT IS NOT SIMPLY JUST PLANTING SAPLINGS. IT'S PLANNING COUNCIL: LOTS OF TREES WITH ASSOCIATED IRRIGATION AND WITH ASSOCIATED PROTECTIVE MEASURES AROUND THE TREE, SO THAT WHILE IT'S YOUNG IT'S BEING PROTECTED, AND IT CAN HOPEFULLY SURVIVE INTO FULL ADULTHOOD. AND SO I DON'T HAVE EXACT COST OF THE PROJECT YET, BUT IT'S LOOKING LIKE IT'S GOING TO PROBABLY TAP OUT OUR OAK TREE MITIGATION FUND. IT'LL PROBABLY BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $300,000. SO THAT'S PROPOSED IN THE 25 THROUGH 27 BUDGET. WHEN I TALKED TO SCOTT, WHO RUNS MOST OF THESE PROJECTS. COUNCIL: WE FELT LIKE IT WAS LIKELY THAT WE COULD GET THAT STARTED IN THE LATE SUMMER FALL, DEPENDING ON WHEN THE EXPERTS TELL US THE BEST TIME TO DO SO IS SO THAT'S THE UPDATE WE'RE TO THE EXTENT THAT IT'S BLENDED IN WITH NOT COMPLETE ONGOING CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT IS EXACTLY HAPPENING WITH THAT PROJECT. ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT IT IS IN LINE WITH ABOUT 84 OTHER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT ARE PROPOSED FOR THE 25 THROUGH 27 BUDGET, ALL OF WHICH HAVE VARIOUS COUNCIL: IMPORTANT THINGS. BUT THIS ONE'S IMPORTANT, AND AND YOU KNOW, WHAT I WILL SAY IS THAT WE GOT TO IT AS A RESULT OF MEETING WITH THIS GROUP COUNCIL: AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WORKS WHAT THEY REALLY WANT. THERE'S SOME DETAIL. WE PROBABLY NEED TO TAKE OFFLINE ABOUT NON PLANTING RELATED IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE MORE SECURITY OR KIND OF KEEPING PEOPLE ON THE TRAILS, PORTIONS OF IT.

A ADOPT RESOLUTION CREATING CIP 656, 3, RD AND L STREET TRAFFIC CALMING AND APPROVING A BUDGET AUGMENTATION OF $100,000 FROM UNENCUMBERED FUND 2, 2, 3, 0 TO CIP 656. COUNCIL: JACOB. YEP. DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY? YEAH, I WANT TO. I'M NOT GOING TO STEAL JACOB'S THUNDER. I'M JUST GOING TO LEAD IN. JACOB. COUNCIL: JACOB KNOWS I LOVE HIM. COUNCIL: SO I JUST WANT TO MENTION BEFORE HE GETS TO THE BONES OF THE PROJECT A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THIS IS KIND OF COOL. SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS HERE THIS EVENING WHO MAY HAVE THOUGHTS ON THE PROJECT. I MEAN, THIS PROJECT COMES TO YOU, AS IT'S NOT THE TYPICAL WAY THAT WE COUNCIL: IDENTIFY AND DESIGN ROAD PROJECTS. COUNCIL: DARLA AND JASON, WHO ARE SITTING IN THE BACK. WE HAVE HAD A WE HAD A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM, AND ACTUALLY SOME OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN AT COUNCIL A FEW TIMES COUNCIL: OVER THE LAST YEAR, AND CHANGE ABOUT SOME CONCERNS ABOUT SAFETY AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND CHILD SAFETY IN THAT AREA OF 3RD AND L, WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO GEMS. IF IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT'S AT COUNCIL: ON 3RD AND COUNCIL: A LOT OF DIFFERENT IDEAS ABOUT WHAT MIGHT WORK AND WHAT WOULDN'T WORK. AND SO WE HAD. WE FINALLY HAVE THIS MEETING. I THINK IT WAS RIGHT AROUND LIKE, THINK THANKSGIVING OR SOMETHING, AND WITH THEM, AND WE JUST TALKED THROUGH LIKE A COUPLE OF IDEAS AND KIND OF CAME TO SORT OF CONSENSUS. I'M GONNA HOPEFULLY, I'M NOT MISREPRESENTING HOW IT ALL WENT, BUT KIND OF CAME TO CONSENSUS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE OUT THERE, AND WE KICKED IT TO VIN AND JACOB AND THEIR TEAM, AND COUNCIL: THEY PUT TOGETHER A PROJECT. AND SO OUR JOB SINCE THAT TIME WAS TO TRY TO DELIVER IT. WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE TRIED TO DELIVER IT EARLIER, BUT COUNCIL: THE GROUP KIND OF TALKED ABOUT IT, AND FELT LIKE PROBABLY A BETTER IDEA TO WAIT FOR SCHOOL TO END BEFORE YOU START DOING CONSTRUCTION OUT THERE. SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SEEING IT NOW, AS WE GET TOWARDS THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. COUNCIL: YOU'RE UP. COUNCIL: YEAH. MY NAME IS JACOB ASSOCIATE, ENGINEER. PERFECT INTRODUCTION. GO AHEAD AND STEP A LITTLE CLOSER, CLOSER TO THE MIC. YEAH. SO THIS IS, WE'RE CALLING IT THE 3RD AND L STREET TRAFFIC CALMING PROJECT, I SUPPOSE, JUST LIKE UNINTRODUCED. THE PURPOSE OF IT IS JUST TO ADDRESS SOME RESIDENT CONCERNS PEDESTRIAN SAFETY NEAR THE GLEN EDWARDS MIDDLE SCHOOL. IT'S AGAIN PRIMARILY COUNCIL: CREATED AS A RESULT OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK. COUNCIL: I SUPPOSE, TO ADDRESS CONCERNS IN THE AREA. SO THIS IS KIND OF A PICTURE WHERE IT IS SO RIGHT ABOVE GLEN EDWARDS MIDDLE SCHOOL ON 3RD STREET, RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF 3RD AND L. THAT'S COUNCIL: THERE'S A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC THERE, AND THERE'S A LOT GOING ON THERE. THERE'S A SCHOOL PICKUP. THERE'S 3RD STREET IS KIND OF A LONG, MOSTLY UNINTERRUPTED STRETCH HEADING EAST-WEST. SO THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION IS WHERE COUNCIL: WE'RE GOING TO INSTALL KIND OF A JUST A SIMPLE TRAFFIC CALMING INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT. COUNCIL: SO WE PUT TOGETHER SOME. COUNCIL: I DON'T KNOW COUNCIL: PRELIMINARY PICTURES OVER WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT EXHIBITS. I'LL JUST THROW THEM UP ON THE SCREEN JUST SO WE CAN SEE THE KIND OF THE CONCEPT, I SUPPOSE. COUNCIL: SO WHERE TO GO FULL SCREEN ON THIS OR COUNCIL: CLOSE THIS. THERE WE GO. THAT'S COUNCIL: GOOD ENOUGH. YEAH, WE CAN SEE. SO THE THE CONCEPT HERE. THIS IS KIND OF LIKE A STANDARD COUNCIL: STANDARD METHOD OF CALMING TRAFFIC NEAR AN INTERSECTION. YOU CAN NARROW UP THE LANES A LITTLE BIT. SO THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS THIS BIKE LANE BUFFER. HERE WE CAN NARROW UP THE TRAVEL LANES. WE CAN INSTALL A WE HAVE SHOWN HERE KIND OF LIKE A JUST, A SIMPLE, RAISED CONCRETE MEDIAN, WITH AN ADDITIONAL STOP SIGN THAT WILL GO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROSSWALK. COUNCIL: SO THAT WILL DO A FEW THINGS. IT'LL NARROW UP THE LANES. THERE'LL BE MORE. COUNCIL: NOT OBSTACLES, BUT MORE THINGS IN THE ROAD THAT TENDS TO CATCH DRIVERS ATTENTION. COUNCIL: AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO CHANGE UP SOME OF THE THE PARKING LAYOUT AROUND HERE, TOO, THAT WAY. DURING DURING SCHOOL PICKUP THERE'S LESS CONFUSION. SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO PICK UP KIDS IN THE PARKING SPOT, OR WEAVE AROUND THEM, OR WHATEVER. COUNCIL: SO THAT'LL KIND OF CLEAN THAT UP A LITTLE BIT. COUNCIL: AND THEN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET IS COUNCIL: THE SAME, THE SAME IDEA. BASICALLY, I'LL PULL THIS ONE UP. COUNCIL: SO THIS IS JUST ON THE OTHER HALF OF THE INTERSECTION. SAME DEAL CONCRETE MEDIAN. COUNCIL: WITH NO REALLY CHANGES MADE TO COUNCIL: THE PARKING OR ANYTHING ON ON THIS SIDE. COUNCIL: SAME CONCEPT, JUST CONCRETE MEDIAN IN THE MIDDLE EXTRA STOP SIGN COUNCIL: MORE OBSTACLES. SLOW PEOPLE DOWN A LITTLE BIT. COUNCIL: THAT'S THE CONCEPT OF IT. THOSE ARE JUST PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS. SO THIS THE SCHEDULE THAT WE HAVE PROGRAMMED SO FAR IS TO USE THOSE AS KIND OF A BASIS AND CREATE SOME. COUNCIL: A FORMAL SET OF BID DOCUMENTS, SPECIFICATIONS MORE, YOU KNOW. COUNCIL: DETAILED PLANS AND EVERYTHING. SO I'LL PROBABLY START WORKING ON THAT. I DON'T KNOW END OF THIS WEEK, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT WAY. WE CAN COUNCIL: HAVE THEM READY BY MID-MAY PLENTY OF TIME, AND THEN, BECAUSE OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WE CAN. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO A FORMAL BIDDING PROCESS. WE CAN JUST COUNCIL: REACH OUT TO A LISTED A TRUSTED LIST OF CONTRACTORS THAT WE USE FREQUENTLY AND GET SOME BIDS FROM THEM. AND THEN, JUST LIKE COUNCIL: SEAN POINTED OUT, WE'LL TIME THE CONSTRUCTION SO THAT AS SOON AS SCHOOL IS DONE WE'LL COUNCIL: DO THE CONSTRUCTION THEN, THAT WAY. I DON'T KNOW. IT'S A MESS YOU'RE TRYING TO WORK AROUND PARENTS PICKING UP THEIR KIDS AND ALL THAT STUFF. COUNCIL: ANYWAY. THAT'S KIND OF THE TIMELINE. COUNCIL: SO THE THE STAFF REPORT HAS THE SAME RECOMMENDATION IN THERE. BUT WE'RE ASKING FOR $100,000. TO BE HONEST, THIS PROJECT WILL COST QUITE A BIT LESS THAN THAT, BUT THE 100,000 GIVES US ROOM TO. IF YOU LIKE THE STRIPING WE CAN. WE CAN EXPAND THE BUFFERED BIKE LANE, OR I DON'T JUST PLAY AROUND WITH THE SCOPE A LITTLE BIT AS WE GET INTO THE DETAILS. SO REALISTICALLY, IT COULD BE A LOT LESS THAN 100,000. BUT THAT'S COUNCIL: PLENTY TO COVER THE PROJECT. COUNCIL: SO THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR ME. GREAT, THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS, DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT COUNCIL: DID WANT TO SAY THAT TO HIGHLIGHT HOW THIS, HOW THIS CAME ABOUT COMMUNITY THAT WAS CONCERNED. OKAY. COUNCIL: SO ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ABOUT THIS IS, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT COUNCIL: THINGS CAN BE ADDRESSED FOR THE COMMUNITY. SOME OF THEM ARE PRETTY SIMPLE AND CAN BE JUST, YOU KNOW. MAYBE SOME STOP SIGN COUNCIL: UPGRADES OR WHATNOT, OR OR DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE'VE I'VE HAD VIN HELP TAKE CARE OF, ESPECIALLY IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA WHERE THERE'S THERE'S A LOT MORE MAINTENANCE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE THAN YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE FUNDS TO. COUNCIL: IF WE WERE TO TAKE ALL THE FUNDS, AND YOU KNOW, MAYBE DOWNTOWN AREA COULD COUNCIL: COULD BE A LOT. BUT THAT TAKES AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE CITY AND AND COUNCIL: AND ALL THE MAINTENANCE AND STUFF IS REQUIRED THERE TOO. BUT COUNCIL: MY POINT IS, THIS. ONE IN PARTICULAR TOOK A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO GET SOMETHING PUT TOGETHER THAN JUST A SIMPLE. COUNCIL: YOU KNOW, HEY? I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE THIS KIND OF HERE, AND I KNOW THAT JASON'S HERE IN THE AUDIENCE. HE'LL PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON AS WELL. BUT. COUNCIL: I REALLY LIKED THAT. HOW THE COMMUNITY CAME TO ME AND SAID, HEY, WE HAVE AN ISSUE HERE I WAS ABLE TO CONNECT THEM WITH COUNCIL: OUR STAFF, AND COUNCIL: AND THROUGH SEVERAL MEETINGS COME TO THIS POINT. SO I'M I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THAT THAT WE FINALLY COME TOGETHER. AND IT'S ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A LOT TO COMPARED TO A LOT OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE DO. YOU KNOW $100,000. COUNCIL: THERE'S STILL A LOT OF MONEY TO BE PUT INTO TO SOMETHING FOR THE DOWNTOWN COUNCIL: THAT WAS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. COUNCIL: GOOD STUFF. GOOD STUFF ANYBODY ELSE? COUNCIL: YEAH, GOOD. COUNCIL: JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I COUNCIL: LIKE THAT. YOU ARE CALLING IT COUNCIL: A CALMING INTERSECTION. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAME UP WITH THAT, OR IF THAT'S OH, NO, REGULARLY, I LIKE THAT. AND I THINK IT'S REALLY CREATIVE. HOW YOU CAME UP WITH THAT SOLUTION. I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WHEN I SAW THAT EARLIER. SO, THANK YOU. COUNCIL: I THINK WE COULD REALLY CALM A TRAFFIC IF WE JUST THROW A COUPLE TAX STRIPS ON THE ROAD A COUPLE TIMES A DAY, AND, YOU KNOW, GET PEOPLE'S ATTENTION. BUT YES, YES, NO, I AGREE. I THINK, THAT YOU KNOW SOME PEOPLE COMPLAIN SOMETIMES THAT GOVERNMENT MOVES TOO SLOW. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE ABOUT THIS TEAM IS THAT WE REALLY TRY TO BREAK THROUGH THAT RIGHT AND GET THINGS DONE AS FAST AS WE CAN, AND SOMETIMES THE PUBLIC IS TOO SLOW FOR THEM. COUNCIL: AND I WOULD AGREE LIKE WE WANT IT DONE. BUT WE ACTUALLY ARE VERY, QUITE PROACTIVE AND WORK REALLY HARD TO SOLVE PROBLEMS FOR OUR COMMUNITY. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND TO MAKE QUALITY OF LIFE BETTER. AND WE WANT THE STREETS TO BE SAFER FOR THE STUDENTS AND THE PARENTS AND ALL OF THAT. SO I'M GRATEFUL TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. AND WOULD ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT? WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT? OKAY, COME ON. COUNCIL: WHERE'S YOUR PARTNER IN CRIME TONIGHT? YEAH, DARLA, SHE'S WATCHING. SHE DIDN'T FEEL GOOD. OKAY, TELL HER HE MISSED HER. I WASN'T GOING TO SAY ANYTHING, BUT BEN PUT ME ON THE SPOT. YEAH, I SAW MATT WAS NICE ENOUGH TO SHARE THIS WITH ME YESTERDAY, SO I SAW IT. COUNCIL: AND I AGREE THAT IT. YOU KNOW COUNCIL: I MADE THIS JOKE WITH SEAN WHEN I 1ST MET WITH HIM BY GOVERNMENT STANDARDS, YOU DID MOVE PRETTY QUICKLY. IT'S NOT. THAT'S NOT A KNOCK ON YOU GUYS, THAT'S JUST A KNOCK ON GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL. BUT I DO APPRECIATE THAT, YOU KNOW. A LITTLE ROUGH IN THE BEGINNING, A COUPLE OF CONVERSATIONS. BUT IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT IT WAS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. COUNCIL: AND YOU KNOW THINGS ARE BEING DONE TO TO HELP CALM THAT THAT AREA. I DO LIKE CALMING, TOO. THAT'S A GOOD TERM. BUT YEAH, I APPRECIATE IT. AND IT'S I'M GLAD THAT IT'S MOVING FORWARD AND COUNCIL: CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT DONE. AND HOPEFULLY, IT IT HELPS THAT THAT INTERSECTION, BECAUSE IT'S COUNCIL: PRETTY GNARLY. YEAH, WE DO, TOO. AND SO ONCE IT GETS IN PLACE, THEN COME BACK AND REPORT TO US. LET US KNOW HOW IT'S GOING. WE'LL DO. YEAH, GREAT. THANK YOU. I WON'T STOP COMING JUST BECAUSE NO, NO, NO, WE LOVE. WE LOVE IT WHEN YOU'RE HERE WHEN YOU'RE HERE. YEAH, APPRECIATE THAT. COUNCIL: I WOULD THINK THAT THAT CALMING TERM THAT'S A ENGINEERING TERM, RIGHT? AN INDUSTRY. YEAH, THAT COUNCIL: BEN, DID YOU WANT TO SAY? YES, YOU KNOW. I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT I HEARD CREATIVE. THAT'S 1 OF THE THINGS ABOUT. YOU KNOW THAT I'M GRATEFUL ABOUT BEING HERE. I DON'T HAVE AS MANY, YOU KNOW, STAFF RESOURCES. IF I HAD IN THE PAST WITH THE COUNTY AND ANOTHER CITY I WORK WITH. COUNCIL: WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES AS FAR AS STAFF. COUNCIL: BUT I'M AMAZED AT THE CREATIVITY WITH, ESPECIALLY JACOB. COUNCIL: YOU KNOW WE JUST CAME WITH AN IDEA. HE GOES OFF AND RUNS WITH IT, AND HE ACTUALLY PUTS PLAN TO PAPER AND DESIGNS. COUNCIL: ANOTHER THING I FOUND OUT TODAY, YOU KNOW, EARLIER MAYOR ASKED ABOUT THE INDUSTRIAL PROJECT. IT'S ACTUALLY ALREADY OUT TO BID. WE'RE GOING TO OPEN BID NEXT WEEK, SO WE'LL GET THAT PORTION OF INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD FIXED THIS SUMMER. COUNCIL: IT IS AMAZING. THE STAFF WE HAVE, AND HE MAY BE UNDERSTATED COUNCIL: AND MODEST, BUT WE'RE GETTING THINGS DONE, AND I'VE YOU KNOW, BEEN IN MULTIPLE MEETINGS WITH HIM AND PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS, AND HOW HE CONDUCTS HIMSELF. WE DO LISTEN TO TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND THE PUBLIC, AND WE DO TRY, YOU KNOW, TRY TO DO OUR BEST TO MAKE QUALITY OF LIFE BETTER FOR THE CITY. SO WELL, WE WE KNOW THAT YOU DO. AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AND COUNCIL: I REALLY ENJOY YOUR PRESENTATION STYLE, JACOB, YOU'RE JUST LIKE, YEAH, I'LL START WORKING ON AT THE END OF THIS WEEK, JUST WHATEVER YOU KNOW. IT'S LIKE CALM. I LOVE IT BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES. YES, CALMING. YOU'RE VERY CALM BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES STAFF DOES NOT LIKE TO COME UP EXCEPT FOR MATT. HE LOVES TO TALK UP THERE, BUT COUNCIL: PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO COMMENT. AND BUT I DID. THAT'S REALLY GREAT. OKAY, MR. CHAPMAN. COME ON UP. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, MADAM. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY STAFF, AND COUNCIL: THOSE CERTAINLY CAME HERE THIS EVENING. COUNCIL: MAYBE I MISSED IT IN THE PRESENTATION. I SEEN WHERE WE'RE GONNA START THE PROGRAM AND THAT SORT OF THING. WHAT'S THE PROJECTION OF THE COMPLETION IS IS THAT IN THE WORKS, OR COUNCIL: WHAT? WHAT'S YOUR TIMEFRAME TO TO COMPLETE IT? COUNCIL: DIDN'T YOU SAY? LIKE THE END OF? COUNCIL: AND SUMMER? COUNCIL: I THOUGHT YOU SAID. BUT NOW I CAN'T REMEMBER. COUNCIL: I DON'T KNOW THAT. COUNCIL: MAYBE LIKE BEFORE THE END OF SUMMER. YEAH, DEFINITELY BEFORE THE END OF SUMMER. GREAT, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. YEAH, THAT'S GREAT LOVE IT. THE OTHER THING I REALLY APPRECIATE ABOUT IT IS THAT THE CROSSING GUARDS HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SAFETY. NOW WITH THAT COUNCIL: GOOD POINT. YEAH, WITH THAT CONCRETE AND THE SIGN TO WHERE, WHEN THEY'RE ALLOWING CHILDREN TO GO BACK AND FORTH. THAT'S COUNCIL: BUT THANKS, JACOB. COUNCIL: ANYBODY ELSE IN THE ROOM AND ANYBODY ONLINE. OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL. I ALMOST FORGOT WE HAD TO VOTE ON THIS. SO WE'RE ALL SO EXCITED. COUNCIL: CAN I MOVE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION CREATING CIP 656 WITH 3RD NOSE TRAFFIC COMMON COUNCIL: PROVING THE BUDGET AUGMENTATION? YEAH, YOU SURE I CAN THANK YOU. ROLL CALL, PLEASE. COUNCIL: MAYOR PRO TEM. BROWN. YES, COUNCIL. MEMBER REEDY. YES, COUNCIL, MEMBER, PEARL COUNCIL MEMBER EKLUND. YES, MAYOR ANDREATA. YES, AWESOME. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL: ITEM 13. B. ADOPT 2 RESOLUTIONS APPROVING THE ANNEXATION OF PEARY WILDWOOD PHASE, ONE PROJECT INTO COMMUNITY FACILITY, DISTRICT NUMBER 2018, ONE, CITY MAINTENANCE SERVICES AND TO COMMUNITY FACILITY. DISTRICT NUMBER 2018 TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND NATE NEED IS THIS, YOU? YEP, THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. SO TYPICALLY, WE PUT THIS TYPE OF ANNEXATION ON CONSENT. BUT WITH OUR NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS WE THOUGHT WE'D PUT THIS ON GENERAL BUSINESS JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AND COUNCIL: INTRODUCTION. SO THE IN 2019, THE CITY CREATED THESE 2 CFDS 2018 DASH ONE AND 2018. DASH 2, COUNCIL: 18. ONE IS A SERVICE CFD THAT WE USE IN LIEU OF LIKE A LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTNING DISTRICT. ANY NEW PROJECT THAT COMES INTO THE CITY MUST ANNEX INTO 2018 TO ONE. COUNCIL: AND THE REASON WE CREATED THAT IS, TO MITIGATE THE COST OF THESE PROJECTS. SO WHEN A NEW DEVELOPMENT COMES ONLINE, THEY HAVE LIGHTS. THEY HAVE MEDIUMS, THEY HAVE LANDSCAPING, THEY HAVE CURBS, THEY HAVE GUTTERS, AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS, ONCE THEY'RE ACCEPTED BY THE CITY OR THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN AND REPLACE. COUNCIL: AND SO BY PAYING INTO THIS CFD. FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND HOMEOWNERS. IT GIVES THE CITY FUNDING IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN AND REPLACE THOSE ITEMS AS NEEDED. COUNCIL: AND IN A SIMILAR FASHION. 2018, OR I'M SORRY. 2019. WAIT, I'LL GET THE RIGHT NUMBER 2018 2 IS A PUBLIC SERVICES. CFD, AND THAT HAS TO DO FOR SETTING ASIDE MONEY FOR POLICE AND FIRE AND SAFETY, SAFETY SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT. COUNCIL: NOT EVERY PROJECT HAS TO ANNEX INTO THIS, BUT MOST PROJECTS DO, AND THIS ONE IS IN THAT CATEGORY. COUNCIL: AND SO THIS IS TO AGAIN SET ASIDE AND OFFSET THE RISK AND THE BURDEN OF OUR SAFETY SERVICES FOR ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT, YOU KNOW YOU'LL WE'LL OFTEN HEAR COMMUNITY MEMBERS SAY NEW DEVELOPMENT SHOULD PAY ITS OWN WAY. COUNCIL: AND SO THAT IS. THE PURPOSE OF THESE 2 CFDS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT IS PAYING ITS WAY, THAT THEY ARE PAYING FOR THE IMPACTS THAT THEY ARE CREATING ON THE CITY, ON CITY STAFF, ON CITY RESOURCES, AND ALSO MITIGATING THE RISK THAT THEY BRING WITH THEM, JUST BY HAVING A NEW NEW THINGS IN THE CITY RIGHT? COUNCIL: AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS WE'RE ANNEXING INTO THESE 2 CFDS. AS WITH ADOPTION OF THIS RESOLUTION. COUNCIL: AND WITH THAT I WILL OPEN AND OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS. COUNCIL: ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC QUESTIONS ONLINE. OKAY, THAT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. WE'LL BRING IT BACK AND ACCEPT A MOTION. COUNCIL: I'LL MOVE SECOND. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. MAYOR. PRO TEM. BROWN. YES, COUNCILMEMBER. REEDY. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER PEARL. YES, COUNCIL MEMBER EKLUND. YES. MAYOR ANDREATA. YES, GREAT THANKS. NITA. COUNCIL: OKAY. ITEM 13, C. ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING LA QUINTA INN AND SUITES APPLICATION FOR THE LINCOLN HOTEL INCENTIVE PROGRAM COUNCIL: IS THIS, YOU? AGAIN, NITA? YEP. SO JUST AS A QUICK REMINDER. IN JUNE OF 2022, THE COUNCIL ADOPTED THE HOTEL INCENTIVE PROGRAM WHICH ALLOWS US TO GIVE A REBATE OF 50% OF THE TOT TAX GENERATED BY THAT HOTEL FOR THE 1ST 5 YEARS THAT IT'S IN OPERATION. COUNCIL: AND THAT PROGRAM CALLED FOR THAT. THE THE HOTELS THAT WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT REBATE TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION, AND THEN FOR COUNCIL TO REMOVE THAT APPLICATION AND JUST FULL DISCLOSURE. THE PROGRAM DID DID INDICATE THAT THE APPLICATION AND THE APPROVAL SHOULD OCCUR PRIOR TO THE HOTEL RECEIVING ITS FINAL CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. COUNCIL: HOWEVER, LA QUINTA IS THE 1ST HOTEL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS PROGRAM. AND SO STAFF WERE STILL GETTING TOGETHER THE FORMS AND THE PROCESSES AND DEVELOPING ALL OF THE INFORMATION NEEDED FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL. AND SO WE ARE COMING TO YOU JUST A BIT AFTER THE LA QUINTA RECEIVED ITS CERTIFICATE, WHICH WAS IN, I BELIEVE, THE MIDDLE OF MARCH. SO WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR RETROACTIVE APPROVAL FOR THIS APPLICATION TO THAT PROGRAM. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. OKAY, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. COUNCIL: NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW THAT THEY'RE OPEN AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY DOING BUSINESS, WE MIGHT HAVE TO COME BACK. I THOUGHT THAT WE ALREADY APPROVED THEM FOR THIS PROGRAM WHEN THEY WERE BEING BUILT. WAS IT JUST A VERBAL THAT WE SAID WE WOULD INCLUDE THEM. WE DISCUSSED THIS, THAT THEY WOULD BE POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR THE PROGRAM, BUT NO FORMAL HAPPENED AT THAT TIME, AND SO I THOUGHT, WE DID DO A FORMAL YEAH, BUT THAT'S FINE, LIKE I'M HAPPY TO DO IT. VERY HAPPY TO DO IT FOR THEM. COUNCIL: THERE, THAT HOTEL IS BEAUTIFUL, AND IT'S ADDING A LOT TO THE CITY. SO I'M HAPPY FOR THAT. BUT, I WAS JUST CONFUSED WITH THAT. OH, WE ALREADY DID THAT? YEAH, OKAY, ANY ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? DID YOU HAVE JUST A COMMENT THAT THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND THE CITY COUNCIL BY JOHN FETT. AND IT'S THE REASON THAT WE COUNCIL: CREATED AN AWARD FOR THE BUSINESS INNOVATION AWARD IN JOHN'S NAME, BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT JUST SHOWED WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE COMMUNITY SAYS, LET'S DO SOMETHING THAT'S UNIQUE, THAT'S GOING TO BENEFIT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. AND SO THIS IS. AND I'M VERY PLEASED THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, FULFILLING OUR BARGAIN WITH THEM COUNCIL: TO BRING THEM BACK, YOU KNOW, TO GIVE THEM THE THE TOT REBATE, BECAUSE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT, AS THE MAYOR INDICATED. JUST JUST BEAUTIFUL. AND THEY'RE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE. THEY ARE VERY GOOD PEOPLE. THEY'RE LINCOLN PEOPLE, AND THEY USE LINCOLN WORKERS AND LINCOLN PRODUCTS. AND ALL OF THAT, JEANETTE WENT COUNCIL: SO FAR ABOVE AND BEYOND. AND WHAT I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS, MR. CHAPMAN, YOU WILL APPRECIATE THIS. THIS HOTEL WENT FAR AND ABOVE 88 REQUIREMENTS. IT'S REALLY THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB ON THAT, AND YOU SHOULD GO STAY IN IT SOME NIGHT, JUST FOR FUN, JUST TO JUST JUST TO CHECK IT OUT. IT'S REALLY GREAT. YEAH. OKAY, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. COUNCIL: ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, ANY. COUNCIL: IT'S OVER IN 12 BRIDGES RIGHT ACROSS FROM LEATHERBY'S. COUNCIL: YEAH, YOU'RE WELCOME. COUNCIL: ALL RIGHT. I'LL ACCEPT A MOTION TO APPROVE MOTION TO APPROVE. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, RICHARD. SECOND COUNCIL: ROLL CALL, PLEASE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER PEARL. YES, COUNCIL. MEMBER REEDY. YES, MAYOR, PRO TEM. BROWN. YES, COUNCIL. MEMBER EKLUND. YES, MAYOR ANDREATA. YES. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. COUNCIL: ALL RIGHT. ITEM 13 D. APPROVAL OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 2025, THROUGH 2027, WHICH OUTLINES SPECIFIC GOALS AS IDENTIFIED BY CITY COUNCIL. COUNCIL: MR. SCULLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MAYOR. COUNCIL: THIS ITEM IS A MEETING OR 2 PAST WHEN I WANTED IT HERE. MOST OF THAT IS ON ME, BECAUSE COUNCIL: THERE WAS A COUPLE OF LITTLE DETAILS I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE WE'RE RIGHT IN. COUNCIL: THE DISCUSSION THAT COUNCIL HAD ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN. BUT JUST TO KIND OF GIVE EVERYBODY A BACKGROUND IN FEBRUARY CITY COUNCIL MET AND HAD A STRATEGIC RETREAT HERE AT CITY HALL TO FORM A NEW PLAN FOR THE CITY OF LINCOLN. WE HAD ACTUALLY JUST DONE THIS COUNCIL: ABOUT 6 ISH MONTHS BEFORE THAT, AND AS WE HAD A MAJORITY CHANGEOVER ON THE CITY COUNCIL, WE SORT OF DECIDED IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO REFRESH COUNCIL: AND UPDATE THE PLAN WITH NEW PRIORITIES. COUNCIL: ALSO, WE'RE ABOUT AND TO ENTER INTO OUR NEW 2 YEAR BUDGET CYCLE. AND SO IT KIND OF GIVES US THE TIME TO ALLOCATE SOME RESOURCES TOWARDS SOME OF THESE COUNCIL: GOALS, WHICH ARE, IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE. IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT TO DO WHEN YOU'RE MID BUDGET. COUNCIL: SO COUNCIL HELD THAT MEETING IT INCLUDED, WE RETAINED, RETAINED A FACILITATOR WHO HAS WORKED WITH US A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST TO GO THROUGH A VERY SIMILAR PROCESS. IT ESSENTIALLY INCLUDED SOME INTERVIEW OF STAFF. COUNCIL: INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS WITH EACH ELECTED OFFICIAL, AND AND THEN A ACTUAL MEETING, SLASH RETREAT WHERE ALL THESE IDEAS WERE HASHED OUT. COUNCIL: SO THE IDEA HERE WAS TO TRY TO. WE TALK ABOUT THIS A LOT INTERNALLY THAT YOU KNOW CITIES AND GOVERNMENTS HAVE A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES. AND COUNCIL: AND SOMETIMES COUNCIL: WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT WE STRETCH OURSELVES IN SO MANY DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS THAT WE DON'T ALWAYS GET THE BEST PRODUCT WORK PRODUCT. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE LOVE TO SAY INTERNALLY THAT YOU COULD DO EVERYTHING, DO EVERYTHING MEDIOCRE, OR YOU COULD DO LESS. THINGS REALLY GREAT. AND I THINK THE IDEA OF THE PLAN WAS TO REALLY FOCUS OUR RESOURCES TOWARDS AREAS WHERE THE CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL: FELT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING OUR RESOURCES, AND SO TO BE CLEAR, WHILE THIS IS SORT OF STAFF'S WORKING COUNCIL: BIBLE FOR THE NEXT 2 YEARS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, THIS IS A COUNCIL PLAN. THIS IS WHAT THE CITY COUNCIL DECIDED ARE THE PRIORITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT'S BASED ON FEEDBACK BASED ON THEIR ELECTED PERSPECTIVES. AND THE WAY IT'S SET UP IS BASICALLY INTO 3 SECTIONS. I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THE ITEMS. COUNCIL: EXCUSE ME, THERE'S 4 SECTIONS. THERE'S PRIORITY GROUP A, WHICH I'LL TOUCH ON IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL, AND THOSE ARE THE. THESE ARE GOING TO BE LARGER, MORE IMPORTANT PROJECTS THAT ARE KIND OF. NOW THINGS WE NEED TO ADDRESS THESE. NOW THERE'S COUNCIL: PRIORITY PRIORITY GROUP B, WHICH ARE ALSO IMPORTANT, BUT MAYBE NOT AS IMPORTANT AND AND NEEDED. IN THE 1ST YEAR OF THE PLAN THEY CAN PROBABLY BLEED INTO THE SECOND COUNCIL: ONGOING PROJECTS, WHICH ARE THINGS WE THAT THE COUNCIL CONSIDERED IMPORTANT. BUT AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP WORKING ON. COUNCIL: BUT THEY WON'T ACHIEVE PRIORITY OVER COUNCIL: B AND A, AND THEN THERE'S WORKSHOPS DESIRED BY COUNCIL, WHICH ARE NOT NECESSARILY ACTIONABLE ITEMS, BUT JUST THINGS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WANTS US TO DIVE INTO, AND WHAT WE FIND FOR THE COMMUNITY'S BENEFIT IS WORKSHOPS. SOMETIMES WE'LL DO THEM IN THIS FORMAT HERE AT A COUNCIL, IF WE HAVE A PARTICULARLY LIGHT MEETING, BUT GENERALLY IT'S NOT A VERY. THE FORMAT DOESN'T WORK THE SAME. IT'S BETTER TO HAVE THOSE MEETINGS WHICH ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. COUNCIL: WE USUALLY DO THEM ON THE 1ST FLOOR. IT'S A LITTLE LESS FORMAL. IT'S MORE OF A DISCUSSION, AND ALLOWS PEOPLE TO DIVE INTO THE ISSUE, WHATEVER IT MAY BE. WE JUST HELD ONE ON PROPERTY TAX. I'D ENCOURAGE ALL OF OUR COUNCIL: CITIZENS, TO GO CHECK OUT COUNCIL: SO COUNCIL: I'M GOING TO TOUCH ON A COUPLE OF PRIORITY. A'S, BECAUSE I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KIND OF KEEP THEM FRONT OF MIND. SO THERE'S 5 IN THIS CATEGORY. ONE IS OBTAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CITY'S PROPERTY TAX SHARING AGREEMENTS. SO REVIEW OUR OUR CURRENT PROPERTY TAX SHARING AGREEMENTS. WE HAVE A PLACER COUNTY, AND DEPENDING ON THE RESULTS OF THE REVIEW IDENTIFY AND CONSIDER WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO US TO IMPROVE OUR POSITION. COUNCIL: I'M 1 OF THOSE GUYS AT MY DESK THAT MAKES A LIST EVERY DAY. AND I'M ALSO ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT WILL WRITE THINGS ONTO THE LIST THAT I'VE ALREADY COMPLETED. JUST SO I CAN SCRATCH IT OFF. COUNCIL: AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ITEMS WHERE WE'VE DONE SOME OF THAT WORK ALREADY, AND ARE NOW ENTERING INTO THE SECOND HALF OF IT. SO THAT'S PRETTY COOL EXPLORE REVENUE GENERATION OPTIONS FOR THE CITY OF LINCOLN, SO THEY CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COUNCIL: PROVIDING SERVICES AND NEEDS IN THE FUTURE COUNCIL: TO INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO EXPANSION OF PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES, EQUIPMENT, AND FACILITIES, LIBRARY AND FACILITIES. ACCESSIBILITY NEEDS COUNCIL: UNDER ALL OF THOSE CATEGORIES, OF COURSE, INCLUDE, YOU KNOW, CIVIC AMENITIES, PARK, SPACE, ETC, ETC, ETC. COUNCIL: ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS INTERESTING IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT LINCOLN'S HISTORY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE GROWTH TIMES IS THAT THE CITY SPENT SO MUCH TIME TRYING TO MANAGE THIS IMMENSE PRESSURE OF OF GROWTH COUNCIL: THAT IT DIDN'T SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME THINKING FINANCIALLY ABOUT HOW IT WAS GOING TO ACTUALLY SERVE THAT GROWTH. COUNCIL: SO I'VE BEEN IN THE POSITION MYSELF A NUMBER OF TIMES WHERE YOU GET A REALLY GREAT PROJECT. COUNCIL: AND YOU JUST KIND OF GET TUNNEL VISION ON IT. AND YOU DON'T THINK A LOT UNTIL SOM
