LOGITECH: OKAY, WE'LL DO ROLL CALL, FOR I'M SORRY I SHOULD, JESSE, IS IT, JESSE? YEAH, OKAY, GOOD. I THOUGHT I SAID, JOSIE AND I WAS LIKE, WAIT, OKAY, OKAY, MELANIE LOGITECH: ANDREA. OH, MY GOODNESS, JOSE HERNANDEZ! LOGITECH: JOANNE HORTON ONLINE FOR US. MY MOOD IS IN THE LAST LIES. LOGITECH: IT'S YES, WE GOT YOU. THANK YOU. LOGITECH: YOU-YOU CAN SPEAK WITHOUT RAISING YOUR HAND, BECAUSE YOU'RE A PANELIST. NOW. OKAY. THANKS. LOGITECH: RIGHT. EXACTLY CAUSE I COULDN'T HEAR YOU, FOR UNTIL JUST NOW. LOGITECH: OKAY. AND THEN, DO YOU? LOGITECH: OH, MELANIE'S HERE. I'M HERE NOW. LOGITECH: OKAY. LOGITECH: NO, I WAS JUST, OH, IS SHE DONE? ARE YOU DONE? YEAH, THAT WAS OKAY. SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS THE END OF IT. SORRY? ALL RIGHT, LET'S ALL RISE FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE OF OUR HEARTS. LOGITECH: I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL LOGITECH: AWESOME. THANKS, YOU GUYS, ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE CITIZENS ADDRESSING THE COMMITTEE. LOGITECH: GOOD. LOGITECH: SHOULD I GO AHEAD? I BELIEVE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE. SO YEAH, ONLY LOGITECH: SO I THINK I KNOW MOST OF YOU, PAUL SCHECHTER, WITH THE LINCOLN THEATER COMPANY. LOGITECH: I'VE APPEARED BEFORE YOU A NUMBER OF TIMES IN THE PAST, TALKING ABOUT IMPROVEMENT FOR THE CIVIC AUDITORIUM AND LOGITECH: A ACTUALLY SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, SHAWN AND I, TO GET TOGETHER IN JANUARY, AND SOMEHOW IT NEVER WORKED OUT. SO I TOLD HIM I WOULD PUT TOGETHER A FORMAL PROPOSAL AKIN TO WHAT THE ALREADY BEEN DONE THAT REALLY OUTLINES ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING. AND I HANDED HIM A COPY OF IT. I'LL JUST BRIEFLY SUMMARIZE FOR YOU, SO THAT YOU KNOW THE DIRECTION WE'RE HEADING IN. LOGITECH: WE ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDING THE RESTORATION OF PROJECTED THE CAPABILITY TO DO PROJECTED BACKGROUND. THIS REALLY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN A SMALL VENUE LIKE THIS, AND IT WILL BE A TREMENDOUS ASSET BOTH TO THE STAGE AND TO LINCOLN THEATER COMPANY, PARTICULARLY IN THE ABILITY TO MOVE IN, MOVE OUT QUICKLY, DO SHOWS WITHOUT IN MOST CASES HAVING TO CREATE HUGE SETS LOGITECH: AND AND INSTEAD BE ABLE TO USE PROJECTIONS TO CREATE THE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE SHOWS THAT WE'RE DOING PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IN YOUTH THEATER BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH BEING DONE, AND PARTICULARLY THINGS LIKE DISNEY SHOWS LOGITECH: WHERE PROJECTED BACKGROUNDS REALLY MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN CREATING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE KIDS TO BE PERFORMING IN. SO I'VE GIVEN SEAN A COMPLETE PROPOSAL. THERE ARE 2 PACKAGES THAT WE BEEN ABLE TO GET FROM 2 DIFFERENT VENDORS. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND ONE IN PARTICULAR, AND HE'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THOSE. LOGITECH: WE'RE ALSO RECOMMENDING UPGRADES TO EXISTING LIGHTING EQUIPMENT. THIS WILL ENHANCE BOTH ORGANIZATIONS ABILITY TO AGAIN CREATE APPROPRIATE MOODS ON THE STAGE. LOGITECH: BUT FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT IT WILL ALSO SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE ELECTRICAL COSTS, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE CONVERTING FROM INCANDESCENT FIXTURES TO LED FIXTURES JUST ABOUT EVERY PIECE OF LIGHTING EQUIPMENT IN THE BUILDING AND PROBABLY CUTTING LOGITECH: AT LEAST ELECTRICAL COSTS FOR LIGHTING BY PROBABLY 80%, BECAUSE THE LED IS SO MUCH MORE EFFICIENT. LOGITECH: WE'RE RECOMMENDING THE INSTALLATION OF AN ADA HEARING ASSIST. AND THIS IS REALLY MORE THAN A RECOMMENDATION. IT'S A LEGAL REQUIREMENT, AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE STATE, BUT WE'RE GETTING. WE'RE GETTING LOTS OF REQUESTS. AND YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE A SENIOR AUDIENCE. LOGITECH: AND THEY REALLY NEED. AND ONE OF THESE DAYS, IF WE. IF WE DON'T DO IT, SOMEBODY'S GOING TO USE THE ONE THAT'S THERE. IT'S NOT. WELL, IT'S BEEN TAKEN OUT. YEAH. OH, WE TRIED TO USE IT BEFORE. IT DID NOT WORK, AND AND I'M AFRAID THAT IF IT'S NOT DONE DONE PROMPTLY, THE CITY'S GOING TO GET A COMPLAINT FROM SOMEBODY. SO THAT'S THAT'S IMPORTANT. LOGITECH: THERE'S A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE HVAC SYSTEM. THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS WITH IT. THERE WERE PROBLEMS A LONG TIME AGO THAT WERE NEVER. THERE WERE IMPROVEMENTS, BUT THE THE MAIN PROBLEM WAS NEVER ADJUSTED. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE LOCATION OF A THERMOSTAT SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE. LOGITECH: THE STAGE HAS BROUGHT FORTH A PROPOSAL TO ASSIST IN LOADING AND UNLOADING. THERE WAS A PROPOSAL TO DO SOMETHING IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING THAT REALLY OUR POSITION WAS. IT WAS IT WAS IMPRACTICAL, BUT WE THINK THAT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT SOMETHING BE DONE TO ACCOMMODATE, MOVE IN AND MOVE OUT, PARTICULARLY SINCE LOGITECH: IN SHARING THE BUILDING BOTH ORGANIZATIONS ARE FACED WITH THE CHALLENGE OF MOVING IN AND OUT QUICKLY. WE HAVE VERY LITTLE OVERLAP IN THE TIME WE SPEND IN THE IN THE BUILDING, AND WE ABLE TO GET OUR EQUIPMENT AND OUR SETS AND THINGS IN AND OUT, AND SEAN A PROPOSAL TO MODIFY THE E STREET ENTRANCE. LOGITECH: IN IN EFFECT, TAKING HALF OF THAT STAIRWAY AND CONVERTING IT TO A LOGITECH: A FLOOR LEVEL LOADING AREA SO THAT A TRUCK CAN BE BACKED UP RIGHT TO THAT AREA AND THINGS CAN BE LOADED IN AND OUT FROM THERE. WE DO IT AFTER, BEFORE AND AFTER EVERY ONE OF OUR SHOWS WE BACK UP A U-HAUL TRUCK, PUT A RAMP ACROSS TO THE TO THE STAIRS. LOGITECH: AND WE MOVE THINGS IN AND OUT THROUGH THAT DOOR. WE'RE PROPOSING TO EXPAND THE SIZE OF THE DOOR AND CREATE AN ACTUAL LOADING DOCK, SO TO SPEAK, THAT WILL FACILITATE BRINGING A TRUCK DIRECTLY TO THOSE SIDE DOORS AND MOVING THINGS IN AND OUT EASILY. LOGITECH: IT ALSO WILL ALLOW US TO USE THE ADA LIFT LOGITECH: THAT. THE CITY AND LINCOLN THEATRE COMPANY SPENT $27,000 ON MANY YEARS AGO. IT'S NEVER BEEN USED FOR ITS PURPOSE, BUT IT COULD BE USED BY BRINGING THE LIFT TO THAT LOADING AREA AND LIFTING HEAVY OBJECTS UP ONTO THE STAGE. SO IT'S A CREATIVE, IN OUR VIEW, A CREATIVE WAY OF ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES OF LOADING THINGS IN AND OUT LOGITECH: A COUPLE OF OTHER MINOR PROPOSALS. BUT SOMETHING WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT, AND I THINK REALLY NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED SERIOUSLY. CONSERVE A PORTION OF THE FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST A CONCEPT STUDY FOR THE INSTALLATION OF WASTE SEATING LOGITECH: A COUPLE OF REASONS WHY WE THINK IT'S IT'S ACTUALLY GAINING GREATER IMPORTANCE. NUMBER ONE, WE'VE SAID REPEATEDLY THAT IN TERMS OF THE FUTURE USE OF THE BUILDING RAISED SEATING IS LOGITECH: GOING TO ALLOW FOR MUCH BETTER SIGHT LINES, PARTICULARLY FOR OUR SENIOR COMMUNITY. IT ACTUALLY WILL, I BELIEVE, INCREASE THE SEATING CAPACITY BY USING THE SPACE MORE EFFICIENTLY. LOGITECH: THE FLOOR OF THE BUILDING IS IN TERRIBLE SHAPE. LOGITECH: AND ONE OF THE THINGS, OF COURSE, THAT WOULD GO WITH THE INSTALLATION OF RAISED SEATING WOULD BE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FLOOR LOGITECH: THE SURFACE. IT'S AN OLD SURFACE NOW. IT WAS INSTALLED BACK IN 2011. IT HAS BEEN TROD ON FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS, AND IT'S REALLY IN IN TERRIBLE SHAPE. LOGITECH: AND IF THERE'S ANY INTEREST IN DOING SOMETHING TO IMPROVE THE CONDITION OF THE FLOOR THAT SHOULD BE DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOUGHTS ABOUT INSTALLATION, OF RAISED SEATING. LOGITECH: SO THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO AT LEAST DO SOME ARCHITECTURAL OR ENGINEERING STUDIES TO DETERMINE WHAT THE FEASIBILITY OF RAISED SEATING WOULD BE, AND WHAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO TO ACCOMPLISH THAT THAT PROJECT. LOGITECH: SO ALL OF THESE THINGS REALLY HAVE SUBMITTED IN WITH THE INTERESTS OF BOTH THEATER COMPANIES IN MIND. LOGITECH: WE DO THINK THAT THE LOGITECH: THE PACKAGE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A WHOLE RATHER THAN LOOK AT PIECEMEALING IMPROVEMENTS AT THIS POINT. BECAUSE ONE THING AFFECTS AFFECTS ANOTHER, THERE'S LIMITED FUNDING AVAILABLE, AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WHAT FUNDING WE HAVE IS USED IN THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY. LOGITECH: BOTH THEATER COMPANIES ARE DOING VERY WELL. LINCOLN THEATER COMPANY JUST HAD A KNOCKOUT PERFORMANCE OF NOISES OFF THAT ABSOLUTELY WOWED. THE AUDIENCES. WE ARE DRAWING PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE SACRAMENTO AREA, BOTH IN OUR AUDIENCE AND TO PERFORM IN OUR THEATER LINCOLN THEATER COMPANY AND THE STAGE. OUR REPUTATION IS SPREADING FAR AND WIDE. LOGITECH: AND REALLY THESE ENHANCEMENTS TO THE BUILDING WILL MAKE IT EASIER AND MORE EFFICIENT FOR BOTH GROUPS TO WORK TOGETHER. LOGITECH: AND ALSO FOR BOTH GROUPS TO CONTINUE TO TO SATISFY THE THE INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. LOGITECH: AND OF COURSE SATISFY OUR PATRONS. LOGITECH: UNFORTUNATELY, I ONLY HAVE ONE COPY OF THIS TOTAL PROPOSAL WITH ME TODAY. IF MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE ARE INTERESTED IN RECEIVING A FULL COPY OF IT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ELECTRONICALLY DISTRIBUTE IT. LOGITECH: AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. I KNOW THIS IS KIND OF A BRIEF LOOK AT IT, BUT THIS IS PERFECT BECAUSE YOUR TIME IS KIND OF RUNNING OUT HERE. SO PERFECT. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN AND SHARING VERY MUCH. OKAY, YEAH, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE LOGITECH: EMAIL BOTH COMMISSIONER COUNCIL, YOUR MEMO AND LIST. THAT WOULD BE GREAT AND LOGITECH: AND THEN I'M I'M ALSO CURIOUS WHAT ALL OF THOSE COSTS LOOK LIKE AND I KNOW YOU FEEL LIKE A BUNDLE. APPROACH IS BEST. BUT JUST IN CASE, YOU KNOW, I THINK FOR ME TO WRAP MY MIND AROUND THE WHOLE CONCEPT AND ALL OF THE THINGS. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR ME TO KNOW IF A BUNDLE APPROACH WASN'T FEASIBLE OR FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER. LOGITECH: NOT WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE IS THERE PRIORITIZATION OF ALL OF THOSE ITEMS? THIS IS PRESENTED IN KIND OF A PRIORITY FASHION. BUT OKAY, GOOD LIKE PHASE ONE PHASE, 2. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO COST OUT. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF COSTING OUT, BUT WE COULD DO IN CONJUNCTION WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE FROM THE CITY, AND FROM LOGITECH: PERHAPS SOME OF YOU WHO HAVE RESOURCES THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES, AND THE AND THE HIGHEST PRIORITY, I THINK, FOR BOTH BOTH OF US LOGITECH: IS PROBABLY LIGHTING AND THE REINSTALLATION OF PROJECTED IMAGES. THE REASON FOR THAT IS CERTAINLY FOR US, AND I THINK YOU'D PROBABLY AGREE IN PLANNING FOR OUR NEXT SEASON, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW WHETHER THE PROJECTION SYSTEMS ARE GOING TO BE INSTALLED IN TIME BECAUSE THEY REALLY DIRECT US IN WHAT WE CAN. LOGITECH: OKAY, OKAY, SO YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THOSE COSTS, OTHERS. LOGITECH: YOU KNOW. I THINK WE'LL NEED ASSISTANCE IN OBTAINING. OKAY? WELL, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, IT'D BE HELPFUL. JUST WHATEVER YOU ALREADY HAVE COLLECTED. AND WHATEVER DATA YOU ALREADY HAVE, IF YOU CAN INCLUDE THAT, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. YEAH, ALL RIGHT. IS EVERYBODY EMAIL ON THE CITY? BE HAPPY TO DO THAT. THANK YOU. OKAY, THANK YOU. LOGITECH: AWESOME. I FORGOT I WAS DOING IT. SORRY. OKAY. SO THEN WE HAVE. NEXT IS OUR SPOTLIGHT SPEAKERS, AND WE'RE SUPER EXCITED TO HAVE FIELD FEELING CENTERS MARKETPLACE. MY VERY FAVORITE PLACE TO SHOP. LOGITECH: OKAY, I'M GONNA JUST YOU CAN TAKE ONE AND PASS AROUND EACH OF THESE LOGITECH: AND SEE, THIS IS KIND OF AWKWARD. HERE. HI, EVERYBODY! I'LL KIND OF STAND OVER HERE, SO MAYBE THAT'S MY BETTER SIDE. THEY CAN ALL SEE FROM MY BETTER SIDE. I'M JOY SMITH AND I STARTED FIELD HAVEN FELINE CENTER IN 2,003, AND I THINK PROBABLY MOST OF YOU HOPEFULLY HAVE HEARD OF US. LOGITECH: I AM THE QUINTESSENTIAL PROFESSIONAL CAT LADY, AND VERY, VERY PROUD OF IT. SO I HAVE WITH ME HERE TODAY, JEN PAUL, WHO HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US SINCE 2,004, I BELIEVE, AND WE'RE BOTH. WE BOTH LIVE IN LINCOLN. SO FIELD HAVEN STARTED AS JUST SIMPLY, I WAS RESCUING SOME CATS. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, AND LOGITECH: IT TURNS INTO THIS NOW HUGE ORGANIZATION. WE HAVE 3 LOCATIONS. OUR MAIN LOCATION IS ON MY HORSE RANCH, MY HUSBAND'S AT MY HORSE RANCH, WHICH IS OUT IN RURAL LINCOLN, AND THAT IS COMPRISED OF A VETERINARY CLINIC, A SPAY, AND NEUTER CLINIC. WE HAVE A SANCTUARY THERE FOR SOME CATS. WE HAVE ADOPTION CENTER AND INTAKE AND OUTCOME. LOGITECH: AND ALSO A ALSO BASICALLY A COMMUNITY SERVICES ASPECT TO THE ORGANIZATION LOGITECH: DOWNTOWN. LINCOLN, THE BUILDING THAT WE HAVE AT 4 54 F. STREET IS OWNED BY FIELD HAVEN, AND IT IS WHERE WE HAVE FIELD HAVEN MARKETPLACE, WHICH IS OUR THRIFT STORE WHICH HELPS TO SUBSIDIZE LOGITECH: OUR INCOME. IT ALSO IS AN ADOPTION CENTER WITH THE CAFE. SO IF YOU WANT TO GET A KITTY FIX, YOU CAN GET YOUR LUNCH AND GO IN THERE AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH THE KITTIES PLUS. IT IS AN ADOPTION CENTER. IT ALSO IS A RESOURCE CENTER FOR THE COMMUNITY. PEOPLE COME IN TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT DOGS AND CATS. YOU KNOW WE ARE FELINE CENTER. BUT WE DO A LOT OF LOGITECH: PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDE DOGS AS WELL. WE JUST DON'T DO DOG SHELTERING, OR ADOPTIONS OR SURGERIES. THIS IS HOT OFF THE PRESS, OUR ANNUAL REPORT LITERALLY LAST NIGHT. SO IT'S A DRAFT. THERE'S A FEW THINGS. BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU, BECAUSE IT GIVES A REALLY GOOD OVERALL PICTURE OF WHAT FIELD HAVEN IS. LOGITECH: 1ST OF ALL, FIELD HAVEN IS COMPLETELY, PRIVATELY FUNDED. WE RECEIVE NO MUNICIPAL FUNDS. SO WE HAVE A 1.6 MILLION DOLLARS BUDGET EVERY YEAR. WE HAVE 20, LOGITECH: I THINK, 23 EMPLOYEES. NOW WE HAVE, AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE A FULL, A VETERINARY CLINIC WITH A SPAY-NEUTER CLINIC, WHERE WE DO OVER 3,000 SPAYS AND NEUTERS LOGITECH: A YEAR, AND MANY OF THEM ARE USED. MANY OF THOSE ARE FOR THE PUBLIC. WE ALSO DO MICROCHIP AND VACCINE CLINICS WHICH ARE FOR DOGS AND CATS. WE HAVE ONE TOMORROW OVER HERE AT THE MARKETPLACE, AND THAT IS LOW AND NO COST. SO WE OFTEN HAVE THROUGH VENDORS. WE'LL HAVE FREE VACCINES, AND WE ALSO ARE THERE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO IF LOGITECH: SOMEBODY NEEDS VACCINES AND MICROCHIPS, BUT THEY CAN'T NECESSARILY AFFORD THEM, WE WILL SUBSIDIZE THEM. LOGITECH: WE ALSO HAVE A PROGRAM THAT WE CALL THE COMMUNITY CAT ASSISTANCE TEAM. AND THIS IS OUR HELP DESK. AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST UNDERRATED THING OTHER THAN THE SPAY NEUTER CLINIC THAT FIELD HAVEN DOES FOR THE COMMUNITY. OUR VOLUNTEERS LOGITECH: STAFF. THIS. IT'S PHONES, EMAIL, FACEBOOK MESSAGES, TEXTS, YOU KNOW, JUST RUNNING INTO SOMEBODY IN THE GROCERY STORE. WE HELP THE COMMUNITY WITH LOGITECH: ANYTHING TO DO WITH CATS. SO IT CAN BE A BEHAVIOR PROBLEM. IT CAN BE THAT THEY HAVE NUISANCE PROBLEMS. THEY HAVE CATS ON THEIR PROPERTY. THEIR NEIGHBORS, CATS ARE COMING ONTO THEIR PROPERTY, AND THEY DON'T WANT THEM ON THEIR PROPERTY. IT COULD BE. WELL, HERE'S A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT. THIS IS SORT OF A SAD SITUATION, BUT SOMEBODY REACHED OUT TO ME AND SAID. LOGITECH: I HEARD I SAW SOME PLACE ON FACEBOOK WHERE A CAT WAS SEEN DECEASED, AND THEY CALLED. THE PERSON FOUND IT SO FAR ON. NELSON LANE CALLED AND SAID, CALLED ANIMAL CONTROL, ANIMAL CONTROL, SAID, WE DON'T COME OUT AND PICK UP. WE WON'T COME OUT AND PICK IT UP. THEY ARE MISSING THEIR CAT. THEY'VE BEEN MISSING THEIR CAT FOR 4 MONTHS, THEY'RE LIKE, COULD THIS BE MY CAT. SO I PUT IT OUT TO ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS THAT LIVES OVER THERE, AND SHE WENT OUT AT 9 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT AND LOGITECH: INVESTIGATED THAT CAT AND JEN IS GOING TO BE GOING TO PICK UP THE KITTY AND SCAN IT FOR A MICROCHIP AFTER WE'RE DONE HERE. THAT'S KIND OF A GRUESOME EXAMPLE, BUT THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE DO TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. MICROCHIPPING IS A HUGE THING THAT WE DO TRYING TO GET ANIMALS BACK HOME. LOGITECH: SO THAT IS ANOTHER SERVICE THAT WE PROVIDE IN THE COMMUNITY. WE DO ADOPTIONS. OF COURSE WE DO ADOPTIONS. THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THE SORT OF ONE OF THE CORNERSTONES OF WHAT WE DO, BUT I ALWAYS SAY ADOPTIONS IS THE LEAST OF WHAT WE DO. WE WANT TO KEEP ANIMALS OUT OF SHELTERS. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO NOT HELP ANIMALS STAY IN THEIR HOMES, AND SOMETIMES THEIR HOMES ARE THEIR COMMUNITY. LOGITECH: AND THAT IS WHERE TNR TRAP NEUTER RETURNS. ANYBODY KNOW WHAT? THAT'S WHAT I TALK ABOUT OR NOT KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WHEN I MENTIONED TRAP NEUTER RETURN. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS TRAP NEUTER RETURN IS WHEN THERE ARE NUISANCE CATS AROUND STRAY CATS. THEY'RE HAVING KITTENS. THEY'RE BOTHERING PEOPLE. WHAT WE DO IS WE HELP THE COMMUNITY LOGITECH: SECURE THOSE CATS, TRAP THEM. WE FIX THEM. THEY'RE GIVEN AN EAR TIP. THEY'RE VACCINATED. SO FOR RABIES AND OTHER DISEASES. SO THEY'RE PUBLIC FOR PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS. AND THEN THEY'RE PUT BACK IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE COMMUNITY CARES FOR THESE CATS, AND LAST YEAR IN IN LINCOLN, WE DID LOGITECH: ABOUT 6 OR 300 TNRS IN LINCOLN, AND SOME OF THOSE CATS END UP GETTING ADOPTED, SOME OF THEM. THEY STAY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY ARE, AND PEOPLE ARE FEEDING THEM. SO THAT WAS DONE IN OUR IN OUR SPAY, NEUTER CLINIC, AND JAN HERE WORKS A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY PROJECTS HERE IN LINCOLN. ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE DID WAS THE AUBURN RETREAT. LOGITECH: AND THIS IS A REALLY NOTABLE PROJECT. WE WORKED WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT AND JEN AND HER TEAMMATES, VOLUNTEERS, AND SOME OTHER STAFF MEMBERS. WE HAVE SINCE IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS WE HAVE SECURED OVER 82, ABOUT 82 CALVES FROM THE AUBURN RAVINE. THOSE WERE SOMETIMES OWNED BY THE HOMELESS, SO SOMETIMES THEY WENT BACK TO THEM, BUT THEN WE PROVIDE A SAFETY NET. SO IF THOSE HOMELESS LOGITECH: FOLKS, THEY THEY CAN'T TAKE THEIR PETS WITHIN WEEDS. THEY COME BACK TO US, MOST OF THEM. WHEN YOU SAY JEN, MOST OF THEM WE BROUGHT IN FOR ADOPTION. LOGITECH: YEAH, IT'S BEEN LIKE 3 FULL YEARS OF WORKING BOTH SIDES OF THE AUBURN RAVINE BY POPULAR LANE, AND THEN ACROSS FROM THE POST OFFICE. AND IT'S REALLY NICE WITH ALL THE HOMELESS ARE CLEARED OFF ACROSS FROM THE POST OFFICE NOW. IT'S BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE. I HOPE THEY DON'T COME BACK, BUT YOU KNOW THEY MAY TRICKLE IN. BUT THIS IS THE 1ST TIME IN MANY, MANY YEARS THAT WE HAVE THE CATS UNDER CONTROL. LOGITECH: I'D SAY IT'S HALF AND HALF, YOU KNOW. A LOT OF THEM DO GO BACK. THEY HAVE A SHORT LIFESPAN. LOGITECH: SO AT LEAST THEY'RE NOT REPRODUCING. AND THEY'RE NOT. YEAH. THEY'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, GETTING DISEASES. THEY'RE NOT A PUBLIC HEALTH RISK ANYMORE. LOGITECH: AND THE NUISANCE LEVEL GOES DOWN IN OUR SPAY-NEUTER CLINIC ALSO PROVIDES OWNED CAT SPAY NEUTERS. ANY OF YOU HAVE PETS, YOU KNOW THAT VETERINARY COSTS HAVE SKYROCKETED SINCE COVID. WE HAVE A NATIONAL VETERINARY SHORTAGE, CRITICAL CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF VETERINARIANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY SO SPAY AND NEUTER, WHICH USED TO COST AT A VETERINARIAN, LET'S SAY A CAT SPAY WOULD MAYBE COST $200. LOGITECH: THERE ARE PLACES IN CALIFORNIA WHERE IT'S UP TO $2,000 NOW TO GET A CAT SPAYED, SO IT IS OUT OF REACH FOR SOME PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY GET THEIR CAT SPAYED, AND SUDDENLY THEIR CAT HAS AN ACCIDENTAL LITTER OF KITTENS, AND THEN THE CYCLE GOES ON. SO OUR SPAY NEUTER CLINIC LOGITECH: HAS IT. WE DO OWN CATS, AND LAST YEAR WE DID ABOUT 330 OWNED CATS HERE IN LINCOLN. SO THOSE ARE CATS THAT ARE NOT OUT THERE BREEDING. WE CHARGE $150, WHICH IS REALLY BARELY ABOVE OUR COST. LOGITECH: AND THAT INCLUDES VACCINES, MICROCHIP WORMING, DEFLEEING INCLUDES AN ENTIRE PACKAGE, AND WHERE IT'S NEEDED WE WILL SUBSIDIZE THAT. SO THAT IS ALL. BUT THE SUBSIDIES COME FROM. DONATIONS COMES FROM SOME GRANTS AND A LITTLE BIT FROM OUR THRIFT STORE, AND OUR CLINIC OPERATES PRETTY MUCH BUDGET NEUTRAL. SO WHILE WE HAVE LOGITECH: A YOU KNOW, ON OUR ON OUR INCOME CHART HERE, YOU'LL SEE, THE CLINIC IS 12% OF OUR INCOME. BUT THAT'S PRETTY BUDGET NEUTRAL, WE? IT'S LOGITECH: JUST A LITTLE BIT BELOW THAT. WHAT OUR EXPENSES ARE FOR THE CLINIC. SO THESE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE TO THE COMMUNITY. AS I MENTIONED, THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, WE ARE COMPLETELY. LOGITECH: PRIVATELY FUNDED, AND LOGITECH: ALMOST 50% OF OUR INCOME COMES FROM JUST DONATIONS. I MEAN, IT IS SOMEBODY THAT DONATES $10 A MONTH TO SOMEBODY THAT MIGHT DONATE 5 OR $10,000, THE WHOLE GAMUT OF IT. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT WE MAKE MONEY ON ADOPTIONS, ADOPTIONS ONLY ACCOUNTS FOR 2% LOGITECH: OF OUR INCOME, AND WE LOSE MONEY ON EVERY ADOPTION WE DO. WE LOSE SEVERAL $100. WE GRANTS, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK, OH, YOU CAN GET A LOT OF GRANTS. IT'S ONLY ABOUT 12% OF OUR INCOME. LOGITECH: AND SO FUNDRAISE OUR THRIFT STORE IS ABOUT 14% OF OUR INCOME. THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE EXPENSES TO OPERATE IT. BUT THE THE MARKETPLACE BRINGS IN ABOUT A QUARTER 1 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. SO THAT'S TAX REVENUE FOR THE CITY, OF COURSE, AND WE'RE CONTINUALLY GROWING THE MARKETPLACE. LOGITECH: WE ALSO HAVE FUNDRAISERS, AND WE ARE. I HANDED OUT TO YOU. OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISER IS COMING UP IN JUST A FEW WEEKS. THESE ARE CRUCIAL TO US. THIS IS OUR. WE ACTUALLY HAVEN'T HAD ONE SINCE 2019 BECAUSE OF COVID. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF OTHER THINGS. LOGITECH: SO WE'RE WE'RE REINTRODUCING OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISER FUNDRAISER, WHICH WE HOPE TO NET 100,000, THAT WE NEED THAT INCOME TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT WE DO TO THE COMMUNITY. LOGITECH: I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW. I I THERE'S A LOT OF I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME HERE, SO I WANTED TO JUST KIND OF GIVE THIS QUICK OVERVIEW AND THEN ALLOW TIME FOR PEOPLE TO ASK QUESTIONS. SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? AT THIS POINT LOGITECH: I DID. CAN YOU TELL ME AGAIN FOR THE AUBURN HERBINE PROJECT, THE 82 CATS. WHAT WAS THE TIME FRAME THAT YOU SAID THAT ABOUT SINCE AUGUST 23, RD AND THAT WAS ALL. PRIVATELY FUNDED. THERE WAS NO CITY FUNDS. LOGITECH: THAT WAS SO. WE HAD TO FIND FUNDS FOR ALL OF THAT. RIGHT. JEN, I MEAN, YEAH, WE HAD. WE HAD. SO THAT'S AT ABOUT A HUNDRED DOLLAR. A $100 PER CAT IS OUR COST. LOGITECH: THAT IS NOT. IT'S IF WE INTAKE A CAT. IT'S ABOUT A $400 COST US. IF WE JUST DO. TNR, IT'S ABOUT $100 PER CAT. SO WE'RE TALKING. IT'S, YOU KNOW, 12 TO 15,000 THAT WE INVESTED IN THAT PROJECT USING OUR DONOR DOLLARS, AND IF I CAN INTERJECT ONCE. SO THE AUTUMN RAVINE IS UNDER CONTROL RIGHT NOW. BUT IT DOES TAKE MONITORING. LOGITECH: SO I'LL BE GOING DOWN THERE EVERY WEEK LIKE, ARE THERE ANY NEW CATS? OH, A CAT WITH A COLLAR! ARE YOU OWN? DID YOU COME DOWN FROM THE HOUSES.-OH! A LITTER OF KITTENS. LOGITECH: IT'S CONSTANTLY MONITORING TO KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL. LOGITECH: OH. LOGITECH: I JUST HAD A QUICK QUESTION ON YOUR AUBURN OR CATCH AND RELEASE PROGRAM. IS THERE A REASON THE COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL DOESN'T HELP YOU WITH SOME OF THOSE THEY DO HELP WITH SOME FUNDING. I MEAN, THEY HAVE A GRANT. THEY HAVE A GRANT, A TRUST FUND, AND THEY HAVE PUT IN ABOUT. I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MUCH THIS YEAR OR THAT RIGHT NOW. I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT 40,000, AND THERE'S SOME SOME LARGE COLONIES FROM LINCOLN THAT I'M WORKING ON. LOGITECH: AND JEN IS, TOO. THERE'S 1 THAT WAS WE'RE JUST WRAPPING UP. IT WAS 47 CAST. LOGITECH: THAT'S A LINCOLN COLONY THAT IS IN THAT'S OUT NEAR CAMP FAR WEST. AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER ONE THAT IS IN LOOMIS I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON THAT IS, IN A SUBURBAN AREA. IT'S GOT ABOUT 60 CATS, AND I'M ABOUT THEY DO SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES. SO THEY DEPEND ON US TO DO A WHOLE LOT. THEY CALL US WHEN THEY HAVE THESE. LOGITECH: AND YOU DO THE T IN OUR PROJECT, AND WE WORK WITH THEM VERY CLOSELY, YOU KNOW. WE CAN CALL THEM WHEN WE WE REALLY NEED THEIR HELP. LOGITECH: COVER MORE OF YOUR CLOCKS. IT'S REALLY DOING THEIR WORK. THAT'S A COUNTY QUESTION. YES, I LOGITECH: WE'LL SAY THAT PLACER COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES IS A VERY GOOD AGENCY TO WORK WITH, AND WE DO WORK VERY CLOSELY, BUT THEY ARE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THEIR BUDGET AS WELL. BUT WE DO TAKE A HUGE BOAT OFF OF THEM, AND THEY DEPEND ON US AND OTHER NONPROFITS, SO THEY DO WHEN THEY CAN. AS I MENTIONED, THEY THIS ONE TRUST FUND. I THINK IT WAS 40,000 THAT THEY GAVE US OVER THE PAST. I THINK IT'S A YEAR LOGITECH: FOR SPAY NEUTER JUST FOR BUT THAT'S THAT'S INCLUSIVE OF ALL OF PLACER COUNTY THAT'S NOT JUST LOCATED. LOGITECH: SO WONDER IF YOU LOGITECH: I WONDER IF THERE'S ROOM FOR LOGITECH: JUST DO YOU HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW MUCH MONEY THAT THEY POTENTIALLY ARE SAVING, AND WHAT THAT GAP WOULD BE VERSUS, WHAT YOU'RE PROVIDING THEM HOW MUCH THEY'RE SAVING, AND WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND 40 K. SO THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, AND I DON'T KNOW THEIR PER CAP. I SHOULD KNOW THIS, BUT I DON'T KNOW THEIR PER CAP COST. LOGITECH: BUT WE IT'S AND IT'S REALLY HARD TO SORT OF QUANTIFY, BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE DOING IS SHELTER DEFERMENT. SO WE'RE KEEPING CATS OUT OF THEIR SHELTER AND HONESTLY OUT OF OUR SHELTER AS WELL. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, OUR HELP DESK LOGITECH: THAT EVERY DAY OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE TALKING TO PEOPLE, AND THEY'RE TALKING THEM INTO, OR ENCOURAGING THEM TO DO TNR TO KEEP THEIR CAT THAT THEY WANTED TO SURRENDER OR TO HELP REHOME IT ON ITS OWN. IT'S HARD TO QUANTIFY EXACTLY HOW MANY CATS THEY WOULDN'T BE TAKING IN. BUT IT'S A LOT I WOULD SAY FOR PLACER COUNTY, AND I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE A WILD GUESS. HERE LOGITECH: IT'S FOR ALL OF PLACER COUNTY, PROBABLY OVER 500 CATS HERE, AND THAT'S PROBABLY A VERY. I'M PROBABLY WAY LOW. THAT'S FOR THE COUNTY OR FOR THE COUNTY, FOR THE COUNTY. YEAH. AND THAT'S PROBABLY 500. LOGITECH: NO, THAT WOULD BE CATS ARE NOT GOING TO THEM THROUGH WHAT WE CALL SHELTER DEFERMENT. SO WE DON'T WANT THE CATS TO GO TO SHELTER BECAUSE SHELTERS ARE NOT GOOD PLACES FOR CATS, AND WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE KEEP THEIR CATS, I CAN. LOGITECH: I HAVE NO DOUBT THE COUNTY COST OF DOING THIS WORK IS A LOT HIGHER THAN YOURS. OH, YES, REALLY GOOD DEAL FOR THEM. THEY'RE GETTING A GREAT DEAL, THEY ARE, AND FROM OTHER NONPROFITS AS WELL. THEY DEPEND. ANIMAL SHELTERS. MUNICIPAL ANIMAL SHELTERS DEPEND ON NONPROFITS TO BE ABLE TO DO THEIR WORK. AND AND I THINK YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK I KNOW. I MEAN, I'M VERY PROUD OF FIELD HAVEN AND WHAT WE'VE DONE, AND WE DO AN EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT JOB BECAUSE LOGITECH: WE DO WHAT WE CALL, AS I MENTIONED, SHELTER DEFERMENT. SO WE'RE KEEPING. WE'RE COMING UP WITH SOLUTIONS FOR PEOPLE. WE DON'T JUST SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW WE DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR FOR YOU TO BRING YOUR CAT IN. WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP YOU? WE WE HELP REHOME. WE HELP THEM WITH BEHAVIOR ISSUES. I MEAN, ALL DAY LONG OUR HELP DESK. IT'S ABOUT 400 CONTACTS CASES A MONTH. LOGITECH: AND SOME OF THAT IS JUST, YOU KNOW, SOME OF IT COMES DOWN TO I MY CAT LOGITECH: HAD GOT HIT BY A CAR. HOW CAN I? I CAN'T AFFORD IT'S GONNA BE $5,000. HOW CAN I AFFORD THAT? I CAN'T AFFORD. I CAN AFFORD A THOUSAND, AND WE HELP MEET WITH THAT GAP. AND THAT IS NOT JUST. WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO DO THAT, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR OWN VETERINARY EXPENSES. BUT WHAT WE DO IS WE WORK WITH THE VETERINARY COMMUNITY. WE WORK WITH PRIVATE FUNDERS THAT LIKE TO HELP INDIVIDUALS. LOGITECH: AND WE WE ACTUALLY FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THOSE ANIMALS BECAUSE THEY'LL CALL. AND THEY'LL SAY I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SURRENDER MY CAT BECAUSE IT IS DIABETIC, AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE MEDICATION. WELL, NO, WE DON'T WANT YOUR CAT. LOGITECH: LET'S GET FIND OUT HOW TO KEEP THE MEDICATION TO YOU, SO YOU CAN KEEP YOUR CAT. LOGITECH: AND OR IT NEEDS SURGERY. IT HAS A FRACTURED LEG. IT NEEDS SURGERY. WE WORK WITH UC. DAVIS. THEY HAVE A FRACTURE PROGRAM. WE CAN GET FRACTURE REPAIRS DONE AT NO COST A LOT OF TIMES. SO WE USE OUR PARTNERS IN THE COMMUNITY, IN THE VETERINARY COMMUNITY TO MEET THOSE LOGITECH: INDIVIDUAL. SO IT'S LIKE WE WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS AS WELL AS LARGE PROJECTS OF 60 CATS, YOU KNOW, SORT OF RUNS THE THE GAMUT, AND NOTHING IS TOO SMALL OR TOO LARGE. RIGHT NOW I'M WORKING A PROJECT IN AUBURN, WHERE WE SEIZED A HUNDRED 108 CATS LOGITECH: A WEEK AGO FRIDAY FROM A BREEDER, AND I'M DOING THE MANAGING THE SHELTERING OF THESE CATS, AND THAT WAS THAT'S A HUGE PROJECT THAT WE'RE WORKING RIGHT NOW. IT DOESN'T. IT'S IN AUBURN. SO IT'S NOT HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH LINCOLN. BUT YOU KNOW THOSE ARE. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE DO PLUS, WE DO DISASTER RESPONSE. LOGITECH: WE SPENT 7 MONTHS UP IN PARADISE. I REMEMBER THAT. YEAH, 2 AND A HALF MONTHS OVER IN MAUI. JEN AND I WERE 7 DAYS A WEEK IN MAUI WORKING OVER THERE. SO LOGITECH: YEAH, SO THE MUNICIPAL AGENCIES DO DEPEND ON THE NONPROFITS, AND WE'D LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER. AND ONE OF MY VISIONS IS SO LAST YEAR, IN 2024, I RETIRED FROM FIELD HAVEN. I DIDN'T REALLY RETIRE, AS YOU CAN SEE. BUT I STEPPED DOWN AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. MY NEW ROLE IS AMBASSADOR, AND MCKENNA LOGITECH: GWALTNEY IS OUR NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. SHE WAS HOPING TO BE HERE TODAY, BUT SHE HAS A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING ABOUT OUR FUNDRAISER, SO SHE COULDN'T. SO WHAT MY ROLE IS TO WORK ON THESE GAPS OF WHERE WE ARE NOT WORKING WELL WITH THE MUNICIPAL AGENCIES, OR WHERE WE CAN ENHANCE THAT OR BRING THIS TO COMMUNITIES. MARYSVILLE IS A COMMUNITY THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING IN SINCE 2017, LOGITECH: AND WE HAVE BEEN HAD THE SUPPORT OF THE CITY TO BASICALLY SPAY AND NEUTER EVERY CAT WITHIN THE CITY. LOGITECH: AND THAT WAS A CITY THAT WAS OVERRUN WITH CATS. I MEAN IT WAS. IT WAS EPIDEMIC OF SICK, HOMELESS, STRAY CATS. AND NOW WE LOGITECH: THERE IS NOT WHERE EVERYTHING IS, I MEAN, WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT. AS JEN SAYS. YOU CAN'T JUST FIX THEM ALL AND THEN LEAVE YOU MAINTAIN IT. BUT THIS THE CITY DOES NO LONGER HAS A PROBLEM, AND THE CITY DID GIVE US. THEY GIVE US A STIPEND EVERY YEAR, AND PROBABLY FOR EVERY. I THINK IT'S FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY GIVE US. WE SPEND ABOUT $8, BUT THAT'S THROUGH OUR YOU KNOW THAT. BUT WE LOVE THAT THE CITY HAS. AT LEAST THEY'RE SUPPORTING US. WE HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT LOGITECH: IF THEY WERE OUT THERE, AND SOMEBODY COMPLAINS ABOUT US THAT WE'RE TRAPPING OR SOMETHING. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS RIGHT THERE AND SAYS, NO, THIS IS BY, YOU KNOW THE CITY IS SUPPORTING THIS. AND SO THOSE PARTNERSHIPS ARE VALUABLE. THEY'RE VALUABLE, THAT SUPER VALUABLE, AND THAT'S THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE WANT TO SORT OF. WE'VE ALWAYS HAD IT HERE IN LINCOLN. LOGITECH: BUT I WANT TO GROW IT MORE. I WANT TO WORK WITH YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE ALREADY WORK WITH ANIMAL SERVICES. I WANT TO WORK WITH CITY OFFICIALS TO BRING MORE OF THESE PROGRAMS INTO THE CITY, AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT CATS, AS I MENTIONED. WE DO SOME WITH DOGS, TOO, LIKE VACCINES AND MICROCHIPS ARE HUGE. THAT'S A HUGE LOGITECH: BENEFIT TO TO PEOPLE HAVING ANIMALS. MICROCHIP, BECAUSE YOU YOU THEN CAN SCAN A DOG. A DOG IS LOOSE. LOGITECH: YOU CAN SCAN IT. AN OFFICER SEES DOG, THEY CAN SCAN IT. THEY CAN CALL THE OWNER RIGHT NOW AND CALL AND SAY, HEY, I HAVE YOUR DOG. POLICE OFFICER CAN PLEASE COME, PICK IT UP OR TAKE IT TO THEIR HOUSE, OR I KNOW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS A SMALL HOLDING FACILITY OVER THERE. WE HAVE SCANNERS IN OUR CARS. YEAH, I CARRY ONE IN MY PURSE, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE, YOU KNOW, I'LL GET A CALL FROM THE LOGITECH: POLICE DEPARTMENT. HEY? WE GOT SOMEBODY'S GOT A KITTEN STUCK IN AN ENGINE. I CALL THEM INTER ENGINE EXTRACTIONS. I DO THAT ALL THE TIME I CRAWL UNDER A CAR AND GET. BUT YOU KNOW THAT'S THE KIND OF PARTNERSHIP WE WANT TO GROW MORE WITH LINCOLN AND WITH THE MARKETPLACE AS WELL. WE'RE NOT JUST EVEN BEYOND ANIMALS. WE HELP THE COMMUNITY. A LOT OF STUFF WE DO WITH SCHOOLS. LOGITECH: WE GET A SUPPLY. SOMETIMES WE'VE GOTTEN OVERRUN, YOU KNOW, HUGE DONATIONS OF LIKE THINGS THAT WOULD BE SCHOOL SUPPLIES. WE THEN SHARE THAT WITH THE SCHOOLS, OR WE SHARE WITH OTHER NONPROFITS WHEN THERE'S A TRAGEDY IN TOWN. SOMEBODY'S HOUSE BURNS DOWN. LOGITECH: THEY HAVE NOTHING, WE SAY. HEY, COME, AND WE'LL GIVE YOU A $200 VOUCHER TO SHOP AT THE MARKETPLACE FOR CLOTHES, AND AT $4 AN ITEM THEY CAN GET A LOT. SO WE'RE DOING THINGS IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL THROUGH THE MARKETPLACE THAT ARE NOT EVEN JUST ANIMAL RELATED. LOGITECH: BUT FOR THIS, THIS COMMITTEE I THINK OF PARTICULAR INTEREST WOULD BE THE BENEFIT THAT THE MARKET LOGITECH: GENERATE FROM THE DOWNTIME. CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT KIND OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IT GENERATES. WELL, WE HAVE A QUARTER 1 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IN SALES. THAT'S NOT COUNTING WHAT WE GET WITH WHEN WE HAVE MICROCHIPPING VACCINE CLINICS THAT ALSO BRINGS IN ADDITIONAL INCOME THAT DOESN'T COME UNDER THE NECESSARY MARKETPLACE SALES. LOGITECH: AND WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE COME. THAT IS A DESTINATION. OUR THRIFT STORE IS A DESTINATION, BECAUSE THEY KNOW WE HAVE REALLY QUALITY ITEMS. AND AT A BARGAIN PRICE. I MEAN, WE REALLY KEEP. WE ENCOURAGE LIKE PEOPLE TO COME IN EVEN FOR RESALE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE. SO WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT COME TO THE MARKETPLACE TO PURCHASE ITEMS FOR RESALE. LOGITECH: WE ARE WANTING TO DO A COUPLE OF THINGS I'VE DONE IN THE PAST WAS I HAD A FLEA MARKET, WHAT I CALL A PEDDLER'S FAIR. I DID. THAT IS PROBABLY ABOUT 5 OR 6 YEARS AGO. NOW, WITH THE LOT THAT'S NEXT TO US, THAT IS CITY OWNED. WE SET UP A, YOU KNOW, LIKE A FLEA MARKET THERE, AND VENDORS COME IN, AND THEY PAID LIKE $20, AND IT JUST IT BROUGHT MORE TRAFFIC TO DOWNTOWN. SO THAT LOT THAT IS NEXT TO LOGITECH: FIELD HAVEN THAT'S CITY OWNED. WE'D LIKE TO SEE SOME PARTNERSHIP, YOU KNOW. WE CAN DO UTILIZE THAT SPACE TO DO MORE THINGS TOGETHER. BECAUSE PEOPLE DO, THEY'LL THEY COME FROM ALL OVER TO SHOP AT THE MARKETPLACE. LOGITECH: AND THE MORE WE HAVE, LIKE GYPSY CHIC WEEKEND WE SEE WE SEE AN UPTICK IN OUR TRAFFIC HERE, PEOPLE COMING TO DOWNTOWN LOGITECH: LAST 2 QUESTIONS FOR ME. DO YOU HAVE AN UPDATED LIKE FISCAL ANNUAL REPORT FOR THIS LAST YEAR THE YEAR BEFORE ON YOUR SITE MAP. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. 24. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF, LIKE, IT'S YOU HAVE LIKE ON OUR WEBSITE, I'M ONLY SEEING GOING BACK TO 2019 FOR THE ANNUAL REPORT ONLINE. LOGITECH: IT MAY, WE MAY NOT HAVE, BUT ALL OF OUR TAX RETURN, 990 S. ARE IN THERE. YEAH, OKAY, PERFECT. CAN YOU MAKE A NOTE? AND I'LL CHECK WITH ON THAT. THANK YOU. AND THEN ARE YOU TRACKING THE LOCATIONS FOR EVERY ANIMAL AND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM. OH, YEAH, I'M A DATA. GEEK. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HOUSE THAT, WHAT ROOM OF THE HOUSE THEY CAME FROM. OKAY, ALL RIGHT, BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW IT'D BE REALLY CHALLENGING LOGITECH: TO MANAGE THE METRICS OF COST, SHARING AND SAVINGS BETWEEN ALL THE DIFFERENT LOGITECH: REGIONS AND CITIES AND COUNTY AND ALL THE THINGS A LOT OF VARIABLES. BUT I DO THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED HELP WITH THIS, BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE THE 40 K. IS LOW, AND I FEEL LIKE THERE'S DEFINITELY SOME ROOM IN LOGITECH: A RENEGOTIATION. DO YOU DO THOSE ANNUALLY OR BIANNUALLY, OR AS NEEDED, OR HONESTLY, NOT EVEN A NEGOTIATION. IT IS JUST WHEN THEY HAVE THE FUNDS RIGHT? THEY LET US KNOW, AND YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY THEY ASKED ME TO. SO 3 LARGE COLONIES I'M WORKING ON RIGHT NOW. ONE IS IN LOOMIS. LOGITECH: ONE IS IN SHERIDAN, AND ONE IS IN LINCOLN, RURAL LINCOLN, AND THEY'RE ALL 40 CATS, AND ABOVE THEY THEY ALL CAME FROM LOGITECH: CLASSIC KIND OF ANIMAL SERVICES CONTACTED ME AND SAY, HEY, CAN YOU HELP THESE PEOPLE? AND SO I SAY, OKAY, I NEED SOME FUNDING FOR THAT. SO IT'S KIND OF LOGITECH: THAT TYPE OF THING. IT'S NOT A FORMAL, YOU KNOW WE DO. HAVE. WE GET GRANTS FROM THE STATE AND STUFF THAT ARE MORE FORMAL? WE JUST HAD A PRIVATE DONOR COME AND MADE A $10,000 DONATION FOR SPAYS AND NEUTERS. LOGITECH: YOU KNOW. SO WE THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE TRULY WHAT WE, YOU KNOW DEPEND ON. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? I HAVEN'T TOURED THE WEBSITE THOROUGHLY. BUT DO YOU HAVE AN AREA ON YOUR SITE MAP WHERE IT SHOWS REGIONALLY HOW MANY EACH YEAR AND LIKE ON SOME SORT OF MAP. WHERE AND HOW MANY ANIMALS YOU'RE AFFECTING. LOGITECH: GOOD POINT. LOGITECH: WE'LL GET THAT. OKAY, THAT WOULD BE COOL. THAT WOULD BE COOL. THAT WOULD BE. I DO IT, AND I DO IT SORT OF LIKE. AND I DO HAVE THE REPORTS. I JUST DON'T HAVE IT GRAPHICALLY, BECAUSE WE GO. PEOPLE WILL DRIVE LOGITECH: 5, 6 H TO COME TO OUR SPAY-NEUTER CLINIC. BUT WE'RE SMALL. I MEAN, WE'RE WE CAN OUR CAPACITY. WE'RE DOING ABOUT 80 ANIMALS A WEEK, 80 CATS A WEEK, BUT WE ONLY HAVE OUR. IF YOU SEE OUR SURGERY SUITE, IT'S VERY SMALL. I MEAN WE COULD, AND WE HAVE GREAT VETERINARIANS. WE CAN ALSO, YOU KNOW, WE COULD USE MORE VETERINARIANS AS ANY VETERINARY PRACTICE COULD. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF CONFINED BY THE CONSTRAINTS OF OUR SPACE, TOO. LOGITECH: SO WE'RE LOOKING TO GROW SPAY-NEUTER IS THE SOLUTION TO ANIMAL OVERPOPULATION. YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T. WE CANNOT ADOPT OUR WAY OUT OF ANIMAL POPULATION, DOGS, CATS. LOGITECH: WHATEVER GUINEA PIGS WHATEVER. WELL, IT ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE ACROSS THE BOARD, WITH ALL OF OUR BIG ISSUES, THAT PREVENTION IS ALWAYS EXACTLY FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE AND MORE EFFECTIVE THAN TRYING TO CAPTURE SO QUICK LITTLE ANECDOTE. GLADDING MCBEAN IN 2,005, I THINK IT WAS. THEY CALLED US. THEY HAD LOGITECH: 100, I MEAN, I THINK, ABOUT 80 CATS OVER THERE, AND THEY WERE ALL BLACK. THEY WERE ALL THEY WERE ALL SICK, I MEAN IT WAS, AND THERE WAS A LADY THAT WAS FEEDING THEM UNDER THE FENCE EVERY DAY, AND SHE HAD EVERY EMPLOYEE SCARED OF HER. THIS LITTLE LADY NAMED MARY, AND SO GLADY MCBEAN SAID, YOU KNOW WE'LL FUND THE SPAY NEUTER, BUT WE DO WANT WE DON'T WANT ALL 60 BACK. SO WE WORKED. JEN WORKED ON FINDING IT'S REALLY REALLY HARD TO RELOCATE CATS JUST BY THE WAY, IT'S IT'S LOGITECH: FERAL FERAL CATS, FERAL CATS. YEAH, NOT ONLY NOT FRIENDLY CATS. SO, JEN, WORK WE DID. WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT THAT WE WOULD PUT SO MANY BACK, AND JEN DID WORK ON FINDING HOMES FOR THE OTHERS, AND I THINK IT WAS LIKE 40, 45 THAT WE PUT BACK THERE, AND WE TOOK THE KITTENS OUT, AND THEN THE EMPLOYEES MAINTAINED THOSE CATS WITHIN 3 YEARS. LOGITECH: I THINK IT WAS 3, MAYBE 4 YEARS. THERE WERE NO CATS THERE, AND THERE REMAINS NO CATS TO THIS DAY, BECAUSE LOGITECH: YOU HAVE ATTRITION WHERE YOU, THE CATS, THEY'RE THERE, THEY'RE FIXED. THEY'RE NOT POPULATING, REPOPULATING, AND THEN, IF A NEW ONE COMES IN, THE WORKERS, IF A NEW ONE CAME IN, THE WORKERS WOULD GRAB IT. SAME THING AS SIERRA PACIFIC. WE HARDLY HAVE ANY CATS FROM OVER THERE ANYMORE. WE HAD A BIG COLONY OVER THERE AS WELL. SO NOW THERE ARE NO CATS AT GLADY MCBEAN. I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE. LOGITECH: THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF MOUSERS OVER THERE. BUT THERE ARE THERE ARE. IT'S NOT BEEN A PROBLEM IN WHAT'S THIS? 20 YEARS NOW? ALMOST 20 YEARS, BECAUSE LOGITECH: TNR, BECAUSE WE SPAYED AND NEUTERED EVERYBODY, AND THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHY TNR WORKS. BUT YOU CAN'T JUST FIX THEM ALL AND THEN LEAVE AND NOT DO ANYTHING. LOGITECH: WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING, AND I FEEL LIKE WE COULD PROBABLY TALK LIKE A LOT LONGER, AND I COME UP WITH MORE QUESTIONS. BUT I'LL DEFINITELY ME PERSONALLY WILL COME TO THE FUNDRAISER AND MY COUNTY SUPERVISOR. I KNOW HER WELL, SO GREAT. WELL, I THINK THAT THIS YEAH, I'M OPEN TO YOU. OKAY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT LOGITECH: FOR THAT ADVICE AND ANY SUGGESTIONS HONESTLY, AND ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO PARTNER MORE WITH THE CITY. WE'RE ALL ABOUT THAT. THIS IS OUR CITY. THIS IS OUR TOWN. THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE. THANK YOU. LOGITECH: YES, OKAY. OUR NEXT IS THE APPROVAL OF MEETINGS MINUTES, AND WE CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A CORE OF POINT 2 3. SO THE NEXT WOULD BE THE PROXIMITY REPORT OUT, WHICH I THINK IS, WE'LL DO THAT NEXT TIME. OKAY, STAFF UPDATES, SEAN. LOGITECH: SURE, ADDED A COUPLE. SO WE'RE LIKE. LOGITECH: NEED THE IN THIS DOWNTOWN PLAN. LOGITECH: OUTREACH. YEAH. SO I THINK IT'S LOGITECH: DON'T HAVE A COPY. WE'LL GET YOU COPIES, BUT THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT'S THIS? YEAH, THIS THING? LOGITECH: IT'S A DESIGN, CHARRETTE. I LIKE TO CALL IT, AND WHICH IS REALLY JUST A FANCY WORD FOR LOGITECH: BUT COLLABORATIVE DESIGN COLLABORATIVE DESIGN PROCESS. SO IF YOU, WE'RE JUST ENCOURAGING A LOT OF FOLKS TO PARTICIPATE, BECAUSE THIS FEEDBACK IS SORT OF IT REALLY INFORMS WHAT ENDS UP BECOMING PLAN, AND THEN, PRESUMABLY, WHAT ENDS UP BECOMING OF THE DOWNTOWN FUTURE. SO MARCH 25, TH THROUGH 27TH A VARIETY OF TIMES FOR A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WORK. SCHEDULES LOGITECH: AND THEN, IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT. IF YOU SCAN THE QR CODE, THERE'S SOME ONLINE FEEDBACK THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE TO. BUT LOGITECH: IT'S ONLY REALLY GONNA BE AS GOOD AS THE PARTICIPATION. SO LOGITECH: WANTED TO. MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT THAT. AND THEN LOGITECH: STRATEGIC PLAN. CITY COUNCILMAN. OH, GOSH! LOGITECH: 2 WEEKS AGO. ONLY 2 WEEKS. YEAH. SOUNDS LIKE LONG TIME AGO, 2 WEEKS AGO, AND DID A STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION WHICH INCLUDED INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS WITH A FACILITATOR. SHE'S EACH OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS. AND THEN A PRETTY LENGTHY GROUP. LOGITECH: PUBLIC MEETING WHERE WE WORK TO DEVELOP A LOGITECH: BASICALLY A LISTING OF PRIORITIES FOR THE NEXT 2 YEAR CYCLE AND LOGITECH: JUST A COUPLE. THERE'S A LONG LIST, AND NEXT TIME I'LL BRING YOU THE FULL REPORT. WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR THE CONSULTANT TO COMPLETE IT. BUT COUPLE OF THE ONGOING CRITICAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDE ASSESSING A FULL RANGE OF REVENUE ISSUES. SO THAT'S RELATED TO PROPERTY TAX AND ANY OTHER REVENUES THAT WE MAY CHOOSE TO TRY TO COLLECT. LOGITECH: REVITALIZING OUR DOWNTOWN. THAT SORT OF FOCUS IS MORE ON COMPLETING THAT GENERAL PLAN AND THEN STARTING TO IMPLEMENT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THERE. WE ARE GOING TO. WE DON'T KNOW HOW INTENSIVE THIS IS GOING TO BE, BUT WE ARE GOING TO OPEN OUR GENERAL PLAN AND CHANGE IT OR AT LEAST EVALUATE IT. AND THAT'S A LOGITECH: YOU KNOW. IF YOU DO A FULL GENERAL PLAN, REWRITE, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF YOUR COMMUNITY. THAT'S A MULTI 1 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT. SO WE PROBABLY WON'T DO THAT. BUT WE WILL MAYBE SURGICALLY PULL OUT A FEW SECTIONS AND ADJUST, AND THERE MAY BE SOME DISCUSSION AFTER HERE AND CITY COUNCIL ABOUT LEAKAGE GROWTH, AND WHETHER OR NOT WHAT WAS PLANNED 25 YEARS AGO STILL MAKES SENSE TODAY. LOGITECH: AND THEN NOT REALLY SUPER RELEVANT TO THIS GROUP, BUT REBALANCING THE FINANCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING DISTRICTS IS ON THE LOGITECH: ON THE DOCKET. IT'S A REALLY TANGLED MESS AND WILL IS GONNA REQUIRE IT'S PROBABLY 1ST HALF. IT'S PROBABLY A 2 YEAR INTENSIVE EFFORT TO REALLY SORT IT OUT. YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE, WITH DOZENS OF DISTRICTS OF LIGHTNING, LANDSCAPING DISTRICTS OF LOGITECH: WE'RE SOME OF US FEAR BACK WHEN WE ARE FORMS, AND WE'VE DONE IT VERY DIFFERENTLY. SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIX IT IN THE ARREARS. LOGITECH: THEN, LOGITECH: ALSO, JUST SORT OF A BUNCH OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO THAT. THIS LOGITECH: GROUP HAS TALKED A LOT ABOUT. THERE WAS LOGITECH: DISCUSSION ABOUT SPORTS AND AGRITOURISM AT THE MEETING. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH REAPPLYING FOR THE ALL AMERICA CITY DESIGNATION WHICH THE CITY GOT 2,006. IT'S A IT'S LIKE A YOU HAVE TO APPLY LIKE AS PART OF A PROJECT. IT'S NOT JUST, HEY, WE'RE LINCOLN. AND WE'RE AMERICAN. YOU GOTTA HAVE. LOGITECH: YOU KNOW, SELL SOMETHING GOOD THAT THE COMMUNITY IS DONE. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GONNA PUT IN FOR SOME OTHER KIND OF REGIONAL AWARDS FOR JUST SOME OF THE GOOD WORK THAT THIS COMMITTEE HAS DONE, OR WE'VE DONE IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS JUST TO RECOGNIZE SOME OF THAT WORK. AND I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT ON STRATEGIC PLAN. I'LL BRING THE FULL DOCUMENT FOR YOU TO REVIEW NEXT MEETING WHEN WE HAVE IT DONE. LOGITECH: THAT'S A GREAT UPDATE. I, FOR ONE, AM VERY GLAD TO HEAR THAT THINGS LIKE THAT ARE BEING LOOKED INTO AND REVISITED HERE IN THE CITY. I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. LOGITECH: A LOT OF THESE THINGS YOU JUST WEIRD IS YOU GET ALL THESE APPROVALS. AND YOU DO THESE THINGS OVER LIKE DECADES, AND THEN WE NEVER REALLY LOOK BACK AND DECIDE LIKE, HEY, DOES THIS STILL MAKE SENSE FOR US AS WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 25 YEARS. IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT WORLD. IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD. HEY? THIS IS A JOANNE. CAN I JUST ADD SOMETHING. LOGITECH: SURE. FROM THE STRATEGIC PLAN. I WAS VERY GRATIFIED TO KNOW THAT COUNCIL WAS VERY POSITIVELY CONSIDERING EXPANDING ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WHICH WOULD HAVE A REAL IMPACT ON US ATTRACTING NEW BUSINESSES HERE. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT MOVE. THAT MOVEMENT. THAT WAS A PART OF THAT. LOGITECH: YEAH. AND TO THAT POINT, LAST NIGHT, IF YOU CAN STILL WATCH THE VIDEO, WE DID A HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRESS UPDATE. AND ONE OF THE REALLY SOBERING THINGS WAS THE MEDIAN BASE INCOME AT LIKE MODERATE RIGHT? SO LIKE THAT'S THE TOP TIER. AND THEN YOU GO DOWN FROM THERE, YOU KNOW. LOGITECH: LOW MOD, VERY LOW, MOD, ETC. WAS LIKE A HUNDRED. I'M GONNA HAVE THE NUMBERS WRONG. BUT ROUGHLY, 110 TO $20,000 WAS SORT OF THE MEDIAN INCOME LOGITECH: IN THE THE MATH SORT OF INDICATED THAT IN ORDER FOR SOMEBODY TO PURCHASE A HOME LOGITECH: IN THAT BRACKET, IT WOULD NEED TO BE IN LIKE THE 300 TO 3 OR 40 TO 400 RANGE, I THINK, WAS SOMEBODY I DON'T REMEMBER WHO WAS IN THE ROOM, YOU KNOW, ASKED A TONGUE CHEAT QUESTION, WHICH, OF COURSE, EVERYBODY. THE ANSWER TO WAS JUST, CAN YOU ACQUIRE A HOUSE IN LINCOLN FOR 3 90? AND OF COURSE, THE ANSWER. LOGITECH: IN FACT, OUR PLANNING STAFF ACTUALLY TRIED TO FIND ONE, AND THE BEST THEY COULD FIND WAS SOMETHING IN THE, I THINK, HIGH FOURS. THAT WAS, YEAH, TEAR DOWN ON IT SOMEWHERE LOGITECH: COUPLE BLOCKS FROM HERE. SO ANYWAY, TO THE POINT ABOUT JOY'S POINT, ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, IT REALLY IS. IT'S NOT WHAT IT USED TO MEAN, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, FOLKS ON THE ABSOLUTE, LOWEST END OF THE INCOME SPECTRUM IS SORT OF EXPANDED TO LIKE, YOU KNOW. LOGITECH: I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS BUT 6 FIGURES. LOGITECH: IT WAS LIKE A DREAM FOR A LONG TIME IN MY LIFE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, AM I EVER GONNA MAKE THAT MUCH. AND NOW IT'S NOT EVEN ENOUGH TO BUY HOME. SO THAT'S PROBLEMATIC. YEAH, THROUGH THAT. LOGITECH: AND OUR, I THINK WE'VE HAD LIKE A LITTLE SHORT DISCUSSION. WE DID WE DOVE DEEPER IN OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND KIND OF TOUCHED ON ALL THIS AND TALKING TO OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, AND I KNOW I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME OF OUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, AND LOGITECH: SOME OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS OF THESE SECTORS, LIKE HEALTHCARE, ARE REALLY STRUGGLING IN OUR COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES TO MAINTAIN THEIR NURSES, AND EVEN PHYSICIANS AND NURSE PRACTITIONERS, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE CLOSE TO WORK, AND THEY CAN'T RETAIN THEIR EMPLOYEES BECAUSE LOGITECH: IT'S EXPENSIVE TO DRIVE, AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY CAN'T LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH. SO IT BECOMES A PROBLEM FOR US ECONOMICALLY WHEN WE CAN'T EVEN PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR ACHIEVABLE HOUSING TO OUR MEDIAN INCOME LOGITECH: WORKFORCE. SO IT'S FOR THOSE THAT DO DRIVE AND CAN DRIVE, YOU GET STUCK ON A FREEWAY. SO YEAH, THERE'S THE TYPICAL SALARY OF A POLICE OFFICER LOGITECH: PUT ON THE SPOT. I I WOULD SAY, PROBABLY PROBABLY ENTRY LEVEL. YOU'RE MAYBE IF YOU COUNT SOME OVERTIME YOU MIGHT MAKE DURING THE YEAR 80. YEAH. SO WHERE DOES THAT PERSON LIVE? LOGITECH: NOT HERE LOGITECH: ANOTHER. THEY ACQUIRE A HOME IN LINCOLN. WE DO HAVE, I MEAN, HOPEFULLY, THE FIRE. OUR NEW FIREFIGHTERS ARE WATCHING, BUT THERE ARE CERTAINLY A NUMBER OF NEW FIREFIGHTERS WE'VE HIRED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT THAT STILL ARE LIVING AT HOME UNTIL THEY SAVE UP ENOUGH TO. LOGITECH: I HOPE. LOGITECH: AND THEN THE OTHER THING WORKING FULL TIME. WE HAVE FIREFIGHTERS THAT HAVE ANOTHER JOB OUTSIDE OF THAT'S PRETTY COMMON FOR FIREFIGHTERS. I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S EASIER FOR FIREFIGHTERS, BUT WITH THEIR SCHEDULE THAT THEY CAN HOLD ANOTHER POSITION WITHOUT HAVING TO BARELY IMPACT THEIR ABILITY TO HAVE A LIFE. BUT SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN MY FINANCE DEPARTMENT, I HAVE 3 INDIVIDUALS. LOGITECH: THEY LIVE WITH THEIR PARENTS, AND THEY HAVE JOBS WHERE THEY'RE WORKING 8 TO 5. SO IF THEY'RE WORKING ANOTHER JOB, THEY'RE WORKING EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS. LOGITECH: AND THEY LIVE IN LINCOLN OR THEY LIVE OUTSIDE LINCOLN. NO, THEY DON'T LIVE IN LINCOLN. WELL, I HAVE ONE NO. 2, 2 THAT LIVE IN LINCOLN. WELL, THE DISADVANTAGE WE HAVE AROUND HERE IS THAT, LIKE MANY OTHER AREAS THAT HAVE HIGH PROPERTY VALUES. LOGITECH: ARE CLOSELY, GEOGRAPHICALLY LOCATED TO AN ALTERNATIVE THAT PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD RIGHT LIKE. SO 2520 MIN DOWN THE ROAD YOU DRIVE TO ANOTHER CITY, AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, 25% LESS. SO YOU JUST LIVE THERE, RIGHT? WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT HERE, AT LEAST IN PLACER COUNTY. IT'S NOT CERTAINLY NOT CHEAPER TO MOVE TO LOOMIS. LOGITECH: COLFAX, AND AUBURN, MAYBE MARGINALLY, BUT NOT SIGNIFICANTLY. AND THEN, OF COURSE NOT IN ROSEVILLE AND ROSLYN. SO IF YOU WANT TO STAY IN COUNTY, IT'S ALMOST SORT OF POSSIBLE SHARED IN A WEEK, AND THEN COMING IN FROM THERE THAT FAR, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO LIVE LOGITECH: THERE. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THOSE AREAS. JUST A DIFFERENT STUFF. LOGITECH: DIFFERENT, A DIFFERENT STATEMENT DEFINITELY. SO NOTHING WRONG. LOGITECH: IN TERMS OF LIKE, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE GENERAL PLAN AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT KIND OF STUFF. ANYBODY IN FROM THE COUNTY LIKE THE GLORIA STEARNS OR ANYBODY LOGITECH: ECONOMIC AND HOUSING ANYTHING. YEAH, I MEAN, WHEN WE OPEN THAT UP, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO ASK EVERYBODY, BECAUSE, LIKE ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE THAT IS DIFFERENT NOW THAN IT WAS WHEN WE ADOPTED. THIS PLAN IS LOGITECH: PLASTER COUNTY HAS SORT OF POPULATED PROJECTS AROUND US, YOU KNOW, WHICH WE'RE, YOU KNOW. I'M NOT SUPER THRILLED ABOUT LOGITECH: AND SO LIKE, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN TERMS OF OUR GROWTH PATTERNS? AND LOGITECH: DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. AND THE PLAN THE GENERAL PLAN, IF YOU REALLY READ IT SORT OF CONCEIVED THIS BUILD OUT TO LIKE A POPULATION OF 130,000 PEOPLE. AND THERE'S THIS CONCEPT IN IN THE DOCUMENT ABOUT THAT LIKE, IF YOU REACH THAT EVENT HORIZON, YOU ARE NOW SUSTAINABLE FINANCIALLY, AND IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS. IN MY OPINION IT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO MODEL THAT BACK THEN, AND IT IS LOGITECH: UNREALISTIC NOW, 20, SOME ODD YEARS LATER, FEEDBACK. LOGITECH: AND YOU KNOW, I MEAN, A LOT OF GOOD THINGS HAVE COME OUT OF IT. BUT MAYBE JUST, YOU KNOW, PORTIONS OF IT DON'T MAKE SENSE ANYMORE. LOGITECH: ALRIGHT. WELL, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN UPDATE. CAN I JUST PLUG 2 MORE THINGS SORT OF RELATED COMMERCIAL PROJECT UPDATES. LOGITECH: NO, I CANNOT TELL YOU WHO, BUT WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD LEAD IN SUB B FOR THAT 1ST COMMERCIAL PROJECT TO GO AND I DON'T KNOW WHO EVEN I DON'T KNOW WHO YET. I HAVE A SENSE OF WHO. BUT LOGITECH: IT'S THEY'RE GONNA MOVE DIRT THIS SUMMER, SO WE'RE GONNA START ON THAT. IT'S THE ONE THAT'S ON THE CORNER OF NELSON AND 65. AND IT'S A MILLION SQUARE FEET OF PRE APPROVED COMMERCIAL. LOGITECH: SO THAT ONE'S GOING TO GO. DIVISION B, IT'S JUST THE MOST GRAND NAME IS THAT ON THE EMPTY LOT RIGHT NOW, OR IS THAT? YEAH, IT'LL BE ON LIKE THE LITERAL CORNER OF THAT THING THAT WE'RE WAITING ON THE ANNEXATION. LOGITECH: NO, NO, WE'RE WHAT WE'RE WAITING ON IS A LITTLE REMNANT AREA. IT'S REALLY JUST ADJACENT TO 65. OKAY, BUT IT'S REALLY COOL, BECAUSE THAT'S SORT OF THE KICKOFF OF THAT WHOLE LITTLE COMMERCIAL AREA. AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT LOGITECH: COMMERCIAL BUSINESS IS PRETTY THRILLED ABOUT THE IDEA OF BEING LIKE HIGHWAY FRONTAGE. LOGITECH: RELATIVELY EASY ACCESS RIGHT THERE. SO WORKING ON A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE PACKAGE FOR THAT PROJECT WHICH WE HAVEN'T DONE HERE IN LINCOLN BEFORE. SO OUR POINT TO THE DEVELOPER WAS, THIS IS WHAT YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY ALL ASK THIS. LOGITECH: WHAT ARE THE INCENTIVES LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS IN SOME CASES WHAT CAN I GET FOR FREE? AND OUR RESPONSE TO HIM IS THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER. IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW VALUABLE THE BUSINESS YOU BRING US. IT'S SO IF IT'S YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH BOB'S APPLIANCE SHOP. BUT PROBABLY ISN'T GONNA REALLY MOVE THE NEEDLE A LOT FOR US. SO THE LOGITECH: BIGGER THE PROJECT, THE THE BIGGER THE PACKAGE MORE WE CAN OFFER SO ANYWAY, SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT. LOGITECH: SOMETIMES THOSE THINGS STALL, AND THEN THE OTHER PIECE OF NEWS I HAVE IS THAT AT LONG LAST THE FERRARI PAVILION COMMERCIAL PROJECT IS STARTING AS SOON AS WE REALLY MOVE THROUGH ALL THE WET WEATHER THEY'RE GONNA SEE DIRT MOVING AND ROADS CUT IN. LOGITECH: THOSE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS WILL START TO GO UP. SO WATERFRONT IS LOGITECH: THEY'RE STILL IN SOME NEGOTIATIONS WITH US ON DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND AND IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER WATERFRONTS ON THE CORNER OAK TREE LANE, AND AND 1 93 ON THE NORTH. OR EXCUSE ME SOUTH, EAST SIDE AND LOGITECH: IT'S A REALLY AMBITIOUS PROJECT. WE'RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS PLANNING COMMISSION SAID WHEN THEY APPROVED THAT PROJECT WAS, THE LAKE IS A HUGE PART OF IT, WATERFRONT, AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS REALLY CONCERNED THAT THAT LAKE REALLY BE A LAKE AND NOT A BOG OR A. LOGITECH: YOU KNOW, PLACES JUST SORT OF ALGAE, YOU KNOW WE WANTED TO. AND SO, IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THERE'S SOME ENGINEERING THAT NEEDS TO OCCUR TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S THERE'S ADEQUATE AIR BEING PUMPED IN. SO YOU'RE AERATING THE LOGITECH: THE THE POND. AND AND THAT'S KIND OF A COMPLEX PROCESS. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY OUR STAFF HAVE GONE AND THEN VISITED A BUNCH OF OTHER PROJECTS LIKE REGIONALLY, LIKE THERE'S 1 IN LOGITECH: DORADO HILLS THEY WENT TO. I THINK THERE'S 1 MELT GROVE THEY WENT TO, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT THE 1ST TIME, BECAUSE ONCE YOU SIGN THE DEAL AND YOU HAVE CONTRACT IN PLACE WITH THIS DEVELOPER, YOU CAN'T USUALLY REOPEN THOSE. SO WE'RE JUST LOGITECH: REALLY CAREFUL ABOUT THAT ONE SORRY AND LAST QUESTION, ANY NEWS ON TENANTS GETTING LOCKED IN, OR WHAT PERCENTAGE HAS BEEN LOCKED IN FOR THE 12 BRIDGES? LOGITECH: I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THAT 12 BRIDGES RETAIL CENTER, 12 BRIDGES RETAIL CENTER. YEAH. 2 2. SO THERE'S ANCHORS, THE LARGEST MAJORS, THE SECOND LARGEST JUNIORS, THE SMALLEST. SO WE HAVE 2 MAJORS THAT ARE LOCKED. LOGITECH: AND THEN A COUPLE OF JUNIORS. THERE'S A COUPLE OF YOU KNOW, FOOD RESTAURANTS IN THE CORNER, AND THEN THEY'RE STILL SEEKING. I THINK THEY'RE STILL SEEKING A MAJOR GROCER AT THAT LOCATION. LOGITECH: BUT THE BUT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF SHOPPING CENTERS IS OCCURRING, I THINK, LIKE PRETTY SOON HERE, AND AND THAT'S WHEN THEY GO AND SELL THOSE PROJECTS. SO. BUT BUT YOU KNOW THE FACT THAT THAT GAS STATION WAS COMPLETED AND OPEN IS THAT REALLY GOOD SIGN? BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT LOGITECH: SO THIS MAY BE THE YEAR OF SOME COMMERCIAL BUILDING GOING ON. AND THE OWNER IS PAVIS RIGHT? HE KNOWS WHAT WE WANT. THEY KIND OF GO OUT AND FIND THESE UNIQUE LIKE. LOGITECH: YOU MIGHT SEE A BUNCH OF THINGS LIKE A BUNCH OF BRANDS THAT YOU SEE EVERYWHERE, BUT THEY ALSO GO OUT AND FIND THESE ONES THAT DON'T EXIST IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, OR REALLY ARE RELATIVELY RARE, LIKE LEATHER PIECE, IS A FAIR, FAIRLY GOOD EXAMPLE THEY PULLED THEM FROM, AND THAT FAMILY IS VERY CAREFUL ABOUT WHEN THEY ADD A SHOP, BECAUSE IT'S FAMILY OWNED, AND THEY'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL FOR A SUPER LONG TIME, AND THEY DON'T WANT TO OVER LEVERAGE THEMSELVES, AND SO LOGITECH: WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED THAT I WISH I COULD SHARE MORE. BUT THE-THE THERE IS ONE TENANT, ONE MAJOR TENANT THAT HAS BEEN LANDED IN THAT THAT WE DO NOT HAVE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. SO LOGITECH: SUPER EXCITING, AWESOME. LOGITECH: OKAY, SO SORRY. DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS OR STEALER ANY QUESTIONS? NO, THAT'S FINE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. I SENT ALL OF THE MATERIALS OUT FROM OUR MEETING LAST TIME PUSHED THE TIMELINES UP A BIT. LOGITECH: SO EVERYBODY HAD A TIME. BUT MY GOAL WOULD BE. WE DO HAVE A NEW MEMBER THAT LOGITECH: HAS BEEN TENTATIVELY APPOINTED. THAT WILL BE GOING TO COUNCIL FOR FULL APPROVAL AT THE END OF MARCH. SO HOPEFULLY, WE WILL HAVE THAT MEMBER ON BOARD IN APRIL WHICH IS PART OF THE REASON I PUSHED THOSE TIMELINES OUT AND ALSO DELAYED SENDING THE EMAIL TO ENSURE THAT THE STRATEGIC ACTION. LOGITECH: PLAN AND SORT OF PATH FORWARD FROM COUNCIL ALIGNED WITH WHAT WE HAD PROPOSED AS SUBCOMMITTEE. SO THAT'S ALL GOOD AND IN PLACE. LOGITECH: SO I THINK THE GOAL FROM THIS POINT ON IS SORT OF WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELVES FALLING LOGITECH: IN THOSE SUBCOMMITTEE AREAS BASED ON THE PROJECTS AND THE DIRECTION. SO I MEAN, IF THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION OR FEEDBACK WE WANT TO HAVE HERE TODAY BEFORE WE SORT OF FINALIZE THOSE SUBCOMMITTEES. I'M OPEN TO IT. BUT MY GOAL WOULD BE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS TO EITHER REACH OUT TO YOU INDIVIDUALLY. LOGITECH: TO SEE WHERE YOU SEE YOURSELF FITTING IN THAT, OR OR HOW YOU'D LIKE TO PARTICIPATE. SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE OUR NEXT BIG STEP FORWARD. OKAY, SO WE, I KNOW THE EMAIL WENT OUT. I SAW IT. SO YES, I JUST I DIDN'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HAD QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING THEY WANTED TO BRING UP TODAY. IN REGARD TO WHAT WAS SENT OUT. LOGITECH: ANYBODY SIGN UP READY? THERE'S ALREADY AN EVENT HAPPENING. OH, MY, GOSH, THAT'S CRAZY. LOGITECH: SO YEAH, I'M OPEN TO FEEDBACK. IF NOT, I THINK THE GOAL WOULD BE. I'LL BE REACHING OUT TO EACH INDIVIDUAL. THERE'S A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT I HOPE WILL FALL INTO CERTAIN AREAS BASED ON THE DIRECTION AND THE WORK THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE. I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE ADDITION THAT WILL BE COMING IN APRIL IF ALL GOES WELL. SO I THINK THAT'LL BE AN EXCITING ADDITION AND REALLY FIT IN WITH THIS SUBCOMMITTEE BREAKOUT AS WELL, SO LOGITECH: SO THAT GETS US TO 8. LOGITECH: YES, WE'LL STILL BE SHORT. ONE CORRECT. LOGITECH: AND I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT. WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE MOVING FORWARD? IN REGARD CORRECT? YEAH. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT. LOGITECH: WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE SIDE IN TERMS OF ATTENDANCE RECORDS WHAT THAT MEANS. IF WE NEED TO MAKE A MUNICIPAL CODED LOGITECH: CHANGE IN THE FUTURE IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS ON THIS. SO THOSE ARE THINGS THAT HOPE AND I ARE LOOKING AT MOVING FORWARD. BUT I THINK IN THE INTERIM, IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, MAJOR FEEDBACK, I WILL TAKE IT. LOGITECH: IF THERE'S A CERTAIN AREA FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME ON THE SIDE. BUT I HAVE CREATED AN INDIVIDUAL PLAN FOR EACH OF THESE SUBCOMMITTEE AREAS THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEE THAT WE CAN BRING BACK AND SORT OF KICK US OFF, WHETHER THAT BE A FINANCIAL MARKETING AND OUTREACH PLAN, AS IT RELATES TO THE AIRPORT BUSINESS PARK UNDER MARKETING AND OUTREACH. LOGITECH: I KNOW THE SPORTS AND AGRITOURISM GROUP HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK IN THAT AREA AS WELL THAT WE CAN SORT OF INCORPORATE INTO THAT PLAN. I THINK WE HAVE SOME UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES WITH SOME OF OUR NEW MEMBERS, AS IT RELATES TO BUSINESS SUPPORT AND JOB CREATION, AND HOW WE CAN POTENTIALLY INCORPORATE OUTREACH WITH WESTERN PLACER. SO LOGITECH: I HOPE SECRETLY THAT JASON WILL FALL INTO THAT OR BE FALLEN LOGITECH: TOLD EXACTLY, BUT JUST SOME UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES AND IDEAS THAT HAVE COME UP IN THE YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. AND THEN, OBVIOUSLY REVITALIZING DOWNTOWN SOME OF THE ONGOING PROJECTS, SUCH AS THE CARNEGIE CARNEGIE FEASIBILITY STUDY. I KNOW THEY HAD AN EXCITING MEETING THIS WEEK, AND LOGITECH: I'M SURE WE'LL HEAR ABOUT THAT SHORTLY, SO I WILL NOT STEAL THAT THUNDER. BUT ALSO IT'LL BE A HUGE PART WITH THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN UPDATE, AND WHERE WE GO FROM THERE THAT WILL DIRECT A LOT OF OUR EFFORTS UNDER THAT SUBCOMMITTEE AS WELL. SO IN TERMS OF MEMBERSHIP I WOULD ARGUE FOR MORE, NOT LESS, BECAUSE WITH 3 LOGITECH: TEAMS, IF YOU ONLY PUT 3 ON EACH TEAM. THAT'S 9 RIGHT THERE. LOGITECH: AND SO IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT, FULLY STAFF THE LOGITECH: STRATEGIC PLAN, IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN LOGITECH: OH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT. WHEN YOU SAID CHANGING THE CODE TO DEAL WITH THE MEMBERSHIP. I DON'T. I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU MEANT REDUCING IT OR INCREASING IT. BUT MY GOAL, I MEAN, I WOULD GO THE OPPOSITE WAY OPPOSITE WAY, YOU WOULD REDUCE IT. THAT WOULD BE WHAT I WOULD ADVOCATE FOR. BUT THAT'S NOT MY DECISION AT THE END OF THE DAY. BUT, I THINK WHAT I'M LOOKING. I'M SORRY. I WOULD JUST REMIND YOU THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A COMMITTEE MEMBER TO BE ON A SUBCOMMITTEE. SO YOU CAN ADD OTHER CITIZENS. LOGITECH: THINK, ALWAYS FORGET THAT PART. LOGITECH: YEAH. LOGITECH: SO YEAH, WE'RE LOOKING INTO ALL OF THAT. BUT I THINK WHAT I WOULD. THAT'S DOWN THE ROAD. THAT'S NOT A PART OF THIS DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW, BUT WE WILL HAVE ONE COMING ON LIKE I SAID. SO WE'LL HAVE THAT INFORMATION BY APRIL. BUT MAYBE WHAT WE CAN DO SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING TOOK SO LONG IS I CAN REACH OUT TO EACH MEMBER INDIVIDUALLY, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE A COUPLE ONLINE TODAY AND JUST SEE WHERE YOUR INTERESTS ARE, HOW YOU THINK YOU COULD PARTICIPATE. AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY REASON. LOGITECH: IF YOU HAVE FEEDBACK ON ANOTHER AREA. OBVIOUSLY, I'M OPEN TO WHATEVER YOU HAVE. SO I WILL TAKE THIS ITEM, REACH OUT TO EVERYBODY INDIVIDUALLY, AND THEN BRING A PLAN BACK TO THE APRIL MEETING. SO THE LAST WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS, THERE'S 3 TEAMS. THERE'S JOSE HEADING UP BUSINESS ATTRACTION AND RETENTION LOGITECH: NO, WE NO REVITALIZING DOWNTOWN BUSINESS SUPPORT AND JOB, CREATION, MARKETING AND OUTREACH. I WROTE THEM ON RIGHT HERE. THOSE ARE THEM. THOSE ARE THE 3 YOU'RE PROPOSING CORRECT. I'M JUST SAYING THERE WAS 3 GROUPS THAT WERE ORGANIZED AT 1 POINT IN TIME. BUT WE'RE REDOING THEM. THAT'S WHAT SHE'S SAYING. LOGITECH: I UNDERSTAND THAT I'M JUST SAYING WE HAD EXISTING GROUPS WORKING ON CORRECT TOPICS. WE HAD 6 SUBCOMMITTEES LOGITECH: BEFORE WE HAD 6, SO WE HAD PERFORMING ARTS, CARNEGIE BUSINESS, INCUBATOR, BUSINESS, RETENTION, AIRPORT, BUSINESS, PARK AND SPORTS AND AGRO TOURS. WE HAD 6 LOGITECH: 6 TEAMS CORRECT, AND THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD NEVER GOTTEN STARTED WAS BUSINESS RETENTION. LOGITECH: THAT WAS JOSE'S SUGGESTION, BUT IT NEVER MET, AND I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE HIS SUGGESTION. LOGITECH: COR
