I JUST PRAY THAT YOU'LL BE WITH THE MAYOR AND EACH ONE. COUNCIL: THAT GIVES SO MUCH HERE AT CITY COUNCIL, AND LEADS US INTO THE FUTURE. WE PRAY IT WILL BE A FINE FUTURE, A CITY OF PEACE, A CITY OF JOY, AND A CITY OF PROGRESS, WITH YOUR HAND HELPING US. GIVE US WISDOM. COUNCIL: WISDOM, AND YOU SAY YOU WON'T PUT US DOWN FOR ASKING FOR IT, BUT YOU'LL GIVE IT TO US, AND WE THANK YOU. YOU'RE GOOD TO US, ALWAYS. COUNCIL: PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THOSE THAT ARE NEEDY, AND HELP US TO DO A BETTER JOB WITH THAT AS WELL. WE THANK YOU THAT WE LIVE IN A FREE NATION, A PLACE WHERE ALL RELIGIONS ARE WELCOME TO WORSHIP, AND RESPECTING ALL OTHER FAITHS, I PRAY, TONIGHT, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, MY LORD. AMEN. COUNCIL: THANKS, MARK. COUNCIL: YAY. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM EKLUND. COUNCIL: HERE. COUNCILMEMBER BROWN? HERE. COUNCILMEMBER REEDY? HERE. MAYOR PEARL? HERE. AND NOTED THAT COUNCILMEMBER ANDREA IS ABSENT. COUNCIL: GOOD. ANY REPORTS FROM CLOSED SESSION? COUNCIL: GREAT, THAT TAKES CARE OF THAT VERY GOOD. MS. DEROCHER. COUNCIL: DO YOU LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, PLEASE. COUNCIL: KEN. COUNCIL: I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG. COUNCIL: OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. COUNCIL: AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. COUNCIL: MODIFICATIONS TO THE AGENDA TONIGHT FOR MY COLLEAGUES. COUNCIL: HAVE NONE. COUNCIL: CUTE. COUNCIL: THE PUBLIC? COUNCIL: SO, THIS EVENING, I'M GONNA HAVE, FIRE CHIEF MEJIA COME ON UP. HE IS GOING TO GIVE THE, 2025 ANNUAL REPORT, OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND, COUNCIL: HE HAS LEARNED SO MUCH IN HIS TIME HERE, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HE LEARNED WAS THAT, DEPARTMENT HEADS HAVE… THERE'S AN EDICT, WHICH IS THAT NO PRESENTATION SHALL BE MORE THAN 10 MINUTES, SO… ENJOY. COUNCIL: I LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY, BUT, COUNCIL: GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL, MAYOR, ANTHONY MEJIA, FIRE CHIEF. TONIGHT, I'M GOING TO BE GIVING A PRESENTATION ON THE 2025 ANNUAL REPORT. COUNCIL: REALLY, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO BRAG ON ALL OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND ALL THE GOOD WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE LAST YEAR. YOU'LL SEE YOU HAVE A PRINTED VERSION AHEAD OF YOU, I'M NOT GONNA BORE YOU WITH EVERY DETAIL, BUT THIS IS GONNA BE REALLY A HIGHLIGHT OF THE HIGHLIGHTS. COUNCIL: SO, LAST YEAR, WE RAN OVER 6,600 INCIDENTS, AND SO THAT'S UPWARDS OF 200-PLUS CALLS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THAT'S KIND OF THE TREND THAT WE'RE ON. SO I REALLY DO SEE US IN 2026 RUNNING OVER 7,000 INCIDENTS, REALLY, WITH THE GROWTH AND EVERYTHING WE SEE IN THE DEPARTMENT. COUNCIL: THIS NEXT SLIDE, YOU'RE GONNA SEE, IS REALLY OUR MISSION, VISION, VALUES, SLIDE. THIS IS ONE THAT MAYOR PEARL KIND OF BEAT ME UP ON WITH THE FIRE MASTER PLAN AND SAID, HEY, YOU DIDN'T HAVE A VISION STATEMENT, AND SO THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO TACKLE THIS YEAR. COUNCIL: OUR VISION IS TO SUPPORT AND DEVELOP OUR FIREFIGHTERS, PRESERVE THE TRADITIONS THAT DEFINE OUR SERVICE, AND STRIVE FOR CONTINUAL GROWTH AND EXCELLENCE AS WE FULFILL OUR MISSION FOR THE… PROTECTING LINCOLN. COUNCIL: AND REALLY WHAT I WOULD TELL YOU IS THIS REALLY KIND OF WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE ENCAPSULATED, TAKING CARE OF FIREFIGHTERS, HOLDING TRUE TO OUR TRADITIONS, AND REALLY PUSHING, FOR GROWTH AND EXCELLENCE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND ALSO STAYING TRUE TO OUR MISSION. COUNCIL: NEXT IS, REALLY AN IMPACT BY THE NUMBERS. THE TWO NUMBERS I REALLY WANT TO FOCUS ON HERE COUNCIL: IS EMERGENCY MEDICAL INCIDENTS AT 4,200, AND 150 TOWARDS OUR FIRE INCIDENTS. YOU CAN SEE THAT, 80% OF OUR CALLS ARE EMERGENCY-BASED, AND OVER 3,000 OF THOSE WERE, ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT, REQUIRING PARAMEDICS, AND SO THAT'S REALLY GOING TO BE OUR DRIVER FOR WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GO. COUNCIL: AND 150 FIRE INCIDENTS. COUNCIL: THOSE 150 FIRE INCIDENTS IS REALLY SETTING THE STAGE FOR THIS SLIDE. THIS IS ASSETS SAVED BY THE NUMBERS. WE HAD OVER $98 MILLION IN ASSETS THREATENED LAST YEAR. I JUICED UP THE NUMBERS, OBVIOUSLY, WITH 12 BRIDGES HIGH SCHOOL, BUT HEY, IF THAT THING BURNED DOWN, THAT WAS GONNA BE A BIG $80 MILLION CHUNK RIGHT THERE. COUNCIL: BUT REALLY, NO, OUR FIREFIGHTERS STOOD IN THE WAY OF LOSING ANY ASSETS THAT WERE, EXTREME VALUE. WE HAD OVER ONLY $365,000 OF ASSETS LOST, WHICH I WOULD TELL YOU THAT'S NOT EVEN ONE STRUCTURE FIRE, SO… COUNCIL: WE REALLY HELD ALL OF OUR FIRES TO ROOM AND CONTENTS FIRES, KEPT THEM FROM BURNING DOWN EVEN JUST ONE STRUCTURE IN THE WHOLE CITY OVER A YEAR, WHICH I WAS GONNA TELL YOU, THAT'S GOING TO BE A VERY HARD BAR TO KEEP, BUT WE'RE REALLY GONNA HIGHLIGHT IT LAST YEAR AS ONE OF OUR BIG ACHIEVEMENTS. COUNCIL: NEXT IS COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS. COUNCIL: WE REALLY WENT OUT, I THINK, AND DID A GREAT JOB TRYING TO CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY IN MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF EVENTS, FROM THE EVERYDAY STATION TOURS TO JUST GOING OUT AND MEETING WITH SCHOOLS AND ALL THE DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT WE DID. WE HAVE OUR HALLMARK EVENTS, LIKE THE TURKEY DRIVE, SANTA TOURS, AND ACTUALLY WE HAD A DEPARTMENT MEETING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, AND I HAD BROUGHT THIS UP AND SAID, HEY, HOW DO WE REALLY WANT TO STRUCTURE OUR CALENDAR? AND THE GUYS ACTUALLY SAID. COUNCIL: WE WANT TO ADD MORE TO THE CALENDAR. SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE MORE EVENTS PLANNED FOR NEXT YEAR, SO THAT JUST SHOWS THE HEART OF THE FIREFIGHTERS AND WHERE THEY'RE AT WITH TRYING TO CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY. COUNCIL: NEXT IS TRAINING. SO WE HAVE A LOT OF REQUIRED HOURS FOR TRAINING, STATE-MANDATED, AND ALSO THE TRAINING HOURS THAT WE PUT UPON OURSELVES. OVER 8,800 HOURS WENT TO TRAINING. IT'S REALLY A PART OF WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO. WE CONTINUALLY WANT TO BE BETTER. AND I WILL TELL YOU, COMING FROM DIFFERENT FIRE DEPARTMENTS, THIS IS NOT AN EASY ONE. SOMETIMES YOU'RE DRAGGING YOUR FIREFIGHTERS TO GO OUT AND TRAIN. COUNCIL: THIS IS NOT THE MENTALITY OF OUR LINCOLN FIREFIGHTERS. THEY WANT TO GO OUT, THEY WANT TO GET BETTER, THEY LIKE IMPROVING, AND THIS IS… THIS REALLY SHOWS IT. COUNCIL: NEXT IS OUR MUTUAL AID DEPLOYMENTS. SO, LAST YEAR, WHAT WE CONSIDER A VERY SLOW FIRE SEASON, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. COUNCIL: BUT WE ALSO HAD TWO OF THE MOST DEVASTATING FIRES IN CALIFORNIA'S HISTORY THAT HAPPENED IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR. AND WE SENT MULTIPLE UNITS DOWN THERE. ONE THING I WILL TELL YOU, AGAIN, KIND OF ABOUT THE CULTURE OF LINCOLN FIRE, IS IT'S HARD FOR A LOT OF SURROUNDING AGENCIES TO GET UNITS TO WANT TO GO OUT AND GO TO THESE, OUT-OF-COUNTY RESPONSES. OUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE REALLY WANTING TO GO, AND MATTER OF FACT, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TELL THEM, LIKE. COUNCIL: I DON'T THINK WE CAN MAYBE GO TO THAT ONE, AND SO… BUT THAT'S JUST WHERE WE'RE AT. WE ALWAYS WANT TO GO OUT AND HELP OUT THE STATE IN ANY WAY WE CAN, AND SO WHEN THEY SEE A FIRE HAPPEN, I HAVE MORE THAN WILLING VOLUNTEERS TO GO OUT AND ASSIST. COUNCIL: COMMUNITY RISK REDUCTION, WITH THE GROWTH OF THE CITY, WE HAD A LOT OF PLANS THAT WE HAD TO APPROVE, WE HAD A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE HAD TO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH AND GET THROUGH, AND WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A PREVENTION STAFF. SO, THESE STATS ARE REALLY GOOD IN THE SENSE THAT WE HAVE… WE'RE DOING A LOT WITH A LITTLE. COUNCIL: AND WE'RE LOOKING AT TRYING TO IMPROVE THAT, OBVIOUSLY, WITH THE FIRE MARSHAL POSITION, GETTING APPROVED, AND WE'RE LOOKING TO FILL THAT, BUT, WE ACCOMPLISHED QUITE A BIT WITH WHAT WE HAVE, AND SO, WITH THE SIZE OF THE CITY AND WHERE WE'RE GROWING, I WAS SUPER HAPPY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE EVERYTHING THAT WAS ON OUR PLATE. COUNCIL: REALLY, OUR BIG ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2025 WAS OUR FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT OF INCREASING THAT ISO RATING FROM A CLASS 4 TO A CLASS 2. THAT REALLY IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT. COUNCIL: NEXT IS OUR OPERATIONS GUIDE AND LEXAPOLICY MANUAL. THAT IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE EVER HAD AN OPERATIONS GUIDE AND A POLICY MANUAL IMPLEMENTED IN LINCOLN FIRE. COUNCIL: WHEN I GOT HERE, THERE WAS 8 DIRECTIVES THAT WE WERE MANAGING THE WHOLE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON, WHICH IS KIND OF HARD TO DO. NOW WE HAVE A 600-PAGE POLICY MANUAL THAT I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WOULD HAVE HAD A LOT OF RESISTANCE COMING FROM US, ONLY 7 DIRECTIVES. COUNCIL: BUT OUR FIREFIGHTERS WERE SOMEBODY THAT EMBRACED IT. WE'VE HAD IT FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS NOW. IT'S DONE US A LOT OF GOOD, AND OUR OPERATIONS GUIDE REALLY PUTS A COHESIVENESS TO ALL OF OUR TACTICS AND WHAT WE'RE DOING OUT IN THE FIELD. COUNCIL: AND THEY'VE REALLY EMBRACED THAT. WE COMPLETED THAT FIRE MASTER PLAN, WHICH IS REALLY SETTING US UP FOR THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS TO REALLY PLAN FOR HOW WE WANT TO GROW AND THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO IN THE DEPARTMENT. COUNCIL: AND WE ALSO IMPLEMENTED A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY, SO WE WERE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT STUFF THAT WAS REALLY CUTTING EDGE, ONE OF THE FIRST ONES IN THE REGION TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT IT, AND NOW ALL OF THE SURROUNDING AGENCIES WITHIN US ARE OPERATING ON THE SAME PLATFORM, AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THAT INTO THE REGION. COUNCIL: AND NEXT, WE HAD SOME PERSONAL, MILESTONES WITH RETIREMENTS. WE HAD TWO FIREFIGHTERS THAT HAD, SOME OF 30-PLUS YEARS, 20-PLUS YEARS, ABLE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. ONE NEW HIRE, AND THEN WE HAD MULTIPLE PROMOTIONS, ALL THE WAY FROM ENGINEER, CAPTAIN, BATTALION CHIEF, AND THEN EVEN MY POSITION. COUNCIL: WHICH REALLY JUST SET THE ORGANIZATION IN A REALLY GOOD DIRECTION, AND SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY WITH WHERE WE'RE HEADED AND WHAT WE'RE GOING WITH. COUNCIL: ALL OF THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS. LASTLY, IS WE REALLY WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR SUPPORT. COUNCIL: WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED QUITE A BIT. I'VE BEEN IN FIRE DEPARTMENTS WHERE THERE ARE MAYBE CERTAIN PARTS OF THIS THAT CAN BE OPPOSITIONS, AND THAT'S REALLY NOT WHAT WE HAVE. WE HAVE MAJOR SUPPORT FROM EVERYBODY, FROM THE RESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF LINCOLN TO THE MAYOR, THE CITY COUNCIL, OUR CITY MANAGER, OUR CITY STAFF. COUNCIL: AS WELL AS OUR MUTUAL AID PARTNERS, EVEN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS. COUNCIL: OUR LOCAL FOUNDATION THAT WE HAVE THAT IS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF US, AND SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT ALL OF THAT AND TELL YOU THAT OUR FIREFIGHTERS DID A GREAT JOB FOR 2025. WE HAVE SOME REALLY BIG, BIG GOALS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH GOING ALS FOR 2026, AND I'M VERY OPTIMISTIC IN LOOKING WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THEN. SO, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. END OF REPORT, UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. COUNCIL: YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY THAT EASILY. A COUPLE THINGS. WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE MUTUAL AID. COUNCIL: CALLS FOR SERVICE. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WHEN I WAS TALKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT, THEY SAID THAT WE ACTUALLY GO OUT MORE TO OUTSIDE AGENCIES THAN ARE COMING BACK IN AND HELPING US. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. COUNCIL: YEAH, CURRENTLY, THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY IT'S ESTABLISHED. COUNCIL: I WOULD SAY THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO WORK ON, AND WE CAN KIND OF BALANCE THOSE SCALES. COUNCIL: BUT PART OF THAT ACTUALLY HAS TO DO WITH A LITTLE BIT OF THE ALS-BLS SITUATION, WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING IN AND GIVING CARE TO SURROUNDING AGENCIES BECAUSE WE'RE CLOSER, AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY KIND OF NOT COMING IN AS OFTEN BECAUSE WE HAVE DIFFERENT SETS OF COUNCIL: HOW WE DO EMERGENCY SERVICE, ESSENTIALLY. SO I THINK ONCE WE GET… ALL OF US ARE ALL ON THE SAME PLAYING FIELD, AND WE'RE ALL ALS, I THINK WE CAN KIND OF MANAGE THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. COUNCIL: SECOND QUESTION I HAD IS, WHAT ARE THE… THIS IS MORE FOR THE COMMUNITY, WHAT ARE THE METRICS FOR RESPONDING FROM THE TIME THAT YOU GET THE CALL UNTIL YOU'RE ON-SITE FOR BOTH A FIRE AND AN EMS CALL? COUNCIL: SO WE'RE ALWAYS SHOOTING FOR THAT, LIKE, 7-MINUTE WINDOW. THAT'S REALLY, LIKE, THE IDEAL, THE GOLDEN WINDOW THAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO ACHIEVE. COUNCIL: BUT IT JUST… IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS. IT DEPENDS, LIKE, WHAT, TYPE OF CALL IT IS. FIRES OBVIOUSLY TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER, BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE GEAR THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT ON, BEFORE YOU CAN ACTUALLY LEAVE OUT OF THE DOOR. BUT YEAH, THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY THE GOLD STANDARD IS ALSO SHOOTING FOR THAT 7-MINUTE MARK, AND… AND WHAT I WOULD JUST SAY, THAT… THAT OTHER FACTOR OF HAVING AMR, WHERE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT IN OUR CONTROL OF WHEN THEY'RE GONNA RESPOND. COUNCIL: IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO IMPROVE. COUNCIL: YOU GUYS ARE GREAT. A NUMBER OF US WERE OUT AT THE FILL THE BOOT OVER THE WEEKEND ON SATURDAY. THAT WENT FROM 10 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING UNTIL 5 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. I KNOW THAT WE GOT, BECAUSE I SPOKE WITH ALEX, ABOUT $17,000, I THINK, $300 PLUS. COUNCIL: WHICH IS JUST ABSOLUTELY SUPER FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS VERN INSTITUTE, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT. I THINK WE HAD 18 FIREFIGHTERS OF, WHAT, 23 POTENTIAL? SO WE HAD VIRTUALLY… EVERYONE WHO WASN'T ON DUTY WAS WORKING… COUNCIL: WITH THE COMMUNITY, JUST FABULOUS, THANKS. AND ONE THING TO JUST ECHO ON THAT IS I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT THAT BURN INSTITUTE IS NOT JUST FOR FIREFIGHTERS, BUT IT'S ALSO FOR ANYBODY THAT HAS SOME SORT OF BURN INJURY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, THAT THAT ORGANIZATION NOW CAN HELP THOSE PEOPLE OUT, AND SO IT'S REALLY A WIN-WIN FOR EVERYBODY, BUT YEAH, THEY DO A GREAT JOB. COUNCIL: CERTAINLY DO. COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? COUNCIL: COMMENT COUNCIL: I THINK THAT, THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE SUCH GOOD PARTNERSHIPS WITH EVERYBODY IN, MUTUAL AID AND THE RESIDENTS, AND, YOU KNOW, THE LONG LIST IS A TESTAMENT TO HOW HARD YOU GUYS WORK AND, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT EVERYBODY WAS OUT THERE ON THEIR DAY OFF FOR FILL THE BOOTS. COUNCIL: IT'S JUST THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THE, COUNCIL: FACT THAT YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND IS, IS, I THINK, COUNCIL: KIND OF THE OVERALL PERSPECTIVE THAT EVERYBODY HAS, AND IT'S APPRECIATED. YEAH. COUNCIL: ABSOLUTELY. COUNCIL: BEN? COUNCIL: I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING. I'M GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE THE GOOD RELATIONSHIP THAT WE DO WITH YOU, AND THAT OUR COMMUNITY COUNCIL: IS… DOING AS MUCH AS THEY ARE. COUNCIL: SUPPORTING… ALL OF YOUR EFFORTS. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE THE ALS PROGRESS THROUGH THE YEAR. YEAH, THAT'S GONNA BE HUGE. YOU TOO, THAT'S GONNA BE HUGE. ABSOLUTELY HUGE. THANK YOU, CHIEF. COUNCIL: OKAY… COUNCIL: PUBLIC COMMENT. COUNCIL: ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS WITHIN THE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OF THE COUNCIL, ALL SPEAKERS' TIME LIMIT WILL BE LIMITED TO 3 MINUTES UNLESS EXTENDED BY THE MAYOR. ALL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED COUNCIL: TO THE MAYOR, AND IN MOST CASES, THE CITY COUNCIL IS PROHIBITED FROM DISCUSSING OR TAKING ACTION ON ANY ITEM NOT APPEARING ON THE POSTED AGENDA, BUT MAY ENGAGE IN BRIEF DISCUSSION, PROVIDE DISCRETION TO CITIES… DIRECTION TO CITY STAFF. COUNCIL: OR SCHEDULE ITEMS FOR FUTURE HEARINGS. PUBLIC COMMENT, DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? WE DO, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU. STAN NADER? COUNCIL: MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, MY NAME IS STAN NADER, AND I LIVE IN THE 12 BRIDGES AREA. COUNCIL: ON JANUARY 15TH, MY WIFE AND I ATTENDED A MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR POLICE OFFICER KEVIN TAN IN GOLD. COUNCIL: KEVIN'S PARENTS LIVE IN SUN CITY, LINCOLN HILLS. COUNCIL: AND ATTEND THE CHURCH THAT WE WORSHIP. COUNCIL: WE WANTED TO BE THERE TO SUPPORT THEM. COUNCIL: IT WAS THE 13TH YEAR OF HIS PASSING ON THAT VERY DAY. COUNCIL: THE CITY WAS DEDICATING A PARKWAY IN KEVIN'S NAME. COUNCIL: AND AN ELLIOTT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CITY. COUNCIL: AFTER UNVEILING THE PARK'S WE SIGNED, WE TRAVELED TO DOWNTOWN GAUL. COUNCIL: ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS. COUNCIL: TO THE SITE WHERE KEVIN WAS MURDERED. COUNCIL: FOR A MOMENT OF SILENCE AT 11.28, THE TIME OF HIS PASSING. COUNCIL: FROM THERE, WE WENT TO CITY HALL FOR A WREATH LAYING. COUNCIL: AT A GRANITE MONUMENT HONORING KEVIN'S DEDICATION COUNCIL: AND SERVICE TO THE GALT COMMUNITY. COUNCIL: WELL, AT THE EVENT, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH THE POLICE CHIEF FOR GOLD. COUNCIL: I ASKED HIM WHAT THE POPULATION OF GOAT WAS, AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS 29,000. COUNCIL: DAMN, I… INQUIRED OF HIM HOW MANY OFFICERS. COUNCIL: WE'RE IN HIS DEPARTMENT, AND HE TOLD ME 39. COUNCIL: WONDERING HOW HE WAS ABLE TO HAVE THAT MANY OFFICERS FOR A POPULATION THAT SIZE. COUNCIL: I ASKED HIM HOW HE WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. COUNCIL: HE LET ME KNOW THAT GALT HAS A 1% SALES TAX FOR PARK AND RECREATION. COUNCIL: WHICH FREES UP GENERAL FUND MONIES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. COUNCIL: GALT ALSO HAS A HALF-CENT SALES TAX FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. COUNCIL: AND THE CITY ALSO RECEIVES HALF… COUNCIL: SENT SALES TAX MONEY FROM PROPOSITION 172. COUNCIL: MY POINT OF SHARING ALL THIS IS, IT IS HIGH TIME FOR THE CITY OF LINCOLN TO PUT A MEASURE BEFORE THE CITIZENS OF LINCOLN. COUNCIL: FOR A HALF-CENT SALES TAX. COUNCIL: IN SUPPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. COUNCIL: IN THE 23-25 CITY… LINCOLN CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN. COUNCIL: IT LISTS THE NUMBER ONE GOAL. COUNCIL: PREPARE AN ACTION PLAN TO PROCEED WITH A REVENUE MEASURE. COUNCIL: ELECTION FOR A FUTURE BALLOT. COUNCIL: IN THE 2024 DOCUMENT. COUNCIL: STRATEGIC PLANNING, THAT SAME EFFORT, WAS STILL THE NUMBER ONE GOAL. COUNCIL: UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE 25-27 STRATEGIC PLANNING DOCUMENT, THERE'S NO MENTION OF THE CITY PUTTING FORTH A TAX REVENUE COUNCIL: FOR… IN SUPPORT OF PUBLIC SAFETY. COUNCIL: THE CITY HAS… MADE MANY PROMISES TO THE MEN AND WOMEN COUNCIL: OF OURS WHO SERVE AND PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. IT IS TIME FOR THIS CITY TO DELIVER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, STAN, AND THANK YOU FOR GOING DOWN THERE VERY MUCH. COUNCIL: ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE? COUNCIL: OKAY, DO WE HAVE ANYONE ON ZOOM? COUNCIL: I DO. I HAVE FRAN NEVES. COUNCIL: BRIAN, YOU ARE UNMUTED AND ABLE TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT. HI, EVERYBODY, I… I GUESS I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OAK TREE LANE AGAIN. I SENT YOU ALL TWO PICTURES. ONE OF US WAS OUR… FROM MY DASHBOARD. THE LINE OF CARS LEAVING THE CHURCH AT 6.30, IN THE DARK. WE REALLY NEED MORE REFLECTORS ON THAT ROAD. IT'S VERY, VERY DARK. AND THEN WHEN YOU GET TO 193, AND YOU LOOK ON THE OTHER SIDE, IT'S ALL LIT UP, AND THE ROAD'S CLOSED. THERE'S NO CARS OVER THERE AT ALL. I GUESS YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, BUT… I JUST WANTED TO POINT IT OUT, I WANTED YOU TO SEE IT. THE OTHER THING ABOUT THAT RIGHT-HAND TURN LANE, YOU'VE GOT 12 BRIDGES DRIVE GOING INTO SIERRA COLLEGE. IT'S THE SAME KIND OF THING. IT'S 3… WAYS, YOU KNOW? AND SIERRA COLLEGE DOESN'T HAVE ANY STOP SIGNS, AND THAT RIGHT TURN LANE IS OPEN. YOU KNOW, WELL, OAK TREE LANE HAS MORE LANES THERE, BUT IT'S CLOSED OFF. IN FACT, THERE'S MORE BARRICADES NOW THAN THERE WAS BEFORE. ON DECEMBER 9TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEAN SAID THERE WOULD BE TWO STOP SIGNS ON 193 GOING EAST AND WEST, AND THAT STILL HASN'T HAPPENED. SO… YOU KNOW, AND THEN I TALKED TO TONY FRAZIER FRIDAY NIGHT, AND I GOT THE IMPRESSION HE SAID THAT WE WOULDN'T GET THOSE SIGNAL LIGHTS UNTIL 193 WAS A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY, AND THAT REALLY SURPRISED ME. AND I WONDERED JUST HOW LONG THAT WAS GOING TO BE BEFORE OAK TREE LANE WAS GOING TO BE A FOUR-LANE. YOU KNOW, RIGHT THERE AT OAK TREE LANE. IT'S JUST… I MEAN, IT'S JUST NOT COMMON SENSE. IT'S JUST NOT COMMON SENSE. YOU'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING. IT'S JUST SO DANGEROUS. YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL YOUR RESIDENTS GOING UP AND DOWN THAT ROAD DAILY. AND IN THE DARK, PARTICULARLY. OKAY, THAT'S… I WOULD… I'M ASKING FOR MORE REFLECTORS. THE PART THAT'S 351 OAK TREE LANE, THAT'S THE PART RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH FROM BOTH PARKING LOTS. IT'S VERY, VERY DARK. THERE'S NO REFLECTORS THERE, AND THERE'S DITCHES ON BOTH SIDES. SO, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING YOU FOR, AND AGAIN, EITHER PUT THE STOP SIGNS UP, OR… YOU KNOW, OPEN THE RIGHT-HAND TURN LANE. I'D REALLY LIKE YOU ALL TO GO DOWN THERE YOURSELVES AND SEE WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE. OKAY, AND I'M STAYING UNDER MY TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND HI, TORI AND TOM. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, FRAN. I SAW VIN SHAKING HIS HEAD, YES, IN AGREEMENT IN SOME THINGS, AND SEAN WAS SAYING NO IN OTHERS, SO… YES. COUNCIL: SO, I DID EMAIL BACK FRAN EARLIER TODAY, BUT… BUT, SO, WE COULD TALK ABOUT THE REFLECTORS. THE STOP, THE THREE-WAY STOP IS IN MOTION. THERE'S A MOBILIZATION COMPONENT TO THIS THAT… OH, MY TIME'S UP. YEAH, TIME'S UP. THAT'S OKAY. AND WE'RE GOOD. COUNCIL: AND VIN'S ON THEM. WE… WE'RE PUSHING FOR THIS MONTH, TO THE EXTENT WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN. THERE'S… THERE'S A LOT OF, CONTRACTUAL THINGS THAT PROBABLY WOULD BORE EVERYONE THAT IS SOMEWHAT OF AN IMPEDIMENT, BUT WE WILL GET IT DONE. THE OPENING UP THE, COUNCIL: THIS WOULD BE AN EASTBOUND RIGHT-HAND TURN LANE IN OAK TREE. I WILL JUST TELL YOU, STAFF IS NOT GOING TO BE IN FAVOR OF THAT IN ADVANCE OF AN ALWAYS STOP. THAT IS ACTUALLY A LESS SAFE COUNCIL: IMPROVEMENT. I KNOW THAT THE PERCEPTION IS THAT IT WOULD MOVE CARS ALONG A LITTLE FASTER, WHICH IS TRUE, BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IF YOU'RE MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN. COUNCIL: GOING EASTBOUND. COUNCIL: ON HIGHWAY 193, AND YOU… AND IT'S AN IMPACTED TIME WHEN CHURCH IS OUT, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO LOOK LEFT COUNCIL: TO MAKE THAT RIGHT-HAND TURN. COUNCIL: ESPECIALLY ON A BUSY DAY THERE, AND IT'S GONNA BE AWFULLY DIFFICULT WHEN EVERY OTHER CAR IS QUEUED UP TO MAKE A LEFT-HAND TURN AT THAT SAME TIME. SO IT'S JUST BAD. COUNCIL: YOU KNOW, TRAFFIC SAFETY, ALTHOUGH I GET WHY PEOPLE THINK IT'S A LOGICAL THING TO… COUNCIL: BUT, SO, BELIEVE ME, THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS TALK ABOUT OAK TREE LANE AGAIN AT CITY COUNCIL TO THE… WE'RE GOING TO MOVE AS MUCH OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AS WE CAN TO GET IT, YOU KNOW, PATCHED FOR THE TIME BEING UNTIL THE SIGNAL IS COMPLETED. COUNCIL: YES. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE ON ZOOM? COUNCIL: NO. OKAY, VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. COUNCIL: WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR. COUNCIL: WOULD ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES LIKE TO PULL ANY OF THE ITEMS ON CONSENT? COUNCIL: OKAY, STAFF? COUNCIL: OKAY… DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? OKAY, ANY COMMENTS ON THE… ON THE… ON THE… COUNCIL: ITEMS THEMSELVES BEFORE WE VOTE ON IT? COUNCIL: OKAY, GOOD. COUNCIL: ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL: DO I HEAR A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE CONSENT CALENDAR? MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT. COUNCIL: I SECOND. OKAY, THANK YOU. MOVED AND SECONDED. COUNCIL: ALL IN FAVOR? OOPS, I'M SORRY, DO WE HAVE A ROLL CALL, OR WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO ON THIS? CAN I JUST SAY ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OKAY, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? GOOD. MOVING ON, THANK YOU. COUNCIL: PUBLIC HEARINGS, MR. MANAGER. COUNCIL: THIS ONE IS, CHRISTINE'S. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. SO, ONE OF THE ORDINANCES IS IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING. THE FIRST ONE WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT IS ITEM 9A. THIS IS COUNCIL: REQUESTING THAT YOU INTRODUCE, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, INTRODUCE AND WAIVE FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE TO THE LINCOLN MUNICIPAL CODE, ESTABLISHING A NEW CHAPTER 3.8 RELATED TO THE REGULATION AND OPERATION OF TOBACCO… TOBACCO… TOBACCO AND VAPE RETAILERS. COUNCIL: AS YOU MAY RECALL, BACK IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR, WE CONDUCTED A WORKSHOP, SEEKING SOME DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL AS TO HOW THEY WANTED TO GO, HOW INTO THIS REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT THEY WANTED TO, INSERT STAFF. COUNCIL: AND SO WHAT WE HAVE COME BACK WITH IS AN ORDINANCE THAT WE BELIEVE ALIGNS WITH THE DIRECTION THAT WE WERE GIVEN BY STAFF. COUNCIL: SO, IN SHORT, COUNCIL: WE HAD A LONG CONVERSATION ABOUT THE FACT THAT ALTHOUGH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HEAVILY REGULATES THE SALE OF TOBACCO, THE SALE OF TOBACCO TO INDIVIDUALS UNDER THE AGE OF 21 COUNCIL: DOES NOT THEN PROHIBIT SOMEONE UNDER THE AGE OF 21 FROM ACTUALLY POSSESSING IT. SO, A LOT OF OUR STUDENT RESOURCE OFFICERS, AND JUST OFFICERS THAT ARE FILLING I
