OKAY, WE'LL MOVE INTO DELIBERATIONS OR A MOTION. >> I'LL MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A FIRST AND SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> OPPOSED OR ABSTENTIONS? NONE, IT'S UNANIMOUS. >> 5.3 WHICH IS CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF OAKLEY FISCAL YEAR 2022/23 BUDGET SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE PILOT PROGRAM WE HAVE FOR THE OAKLEY COMMUNITY DIGITAL GIFT CARD PROGRAM. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR POPE, VICE MAYOR MED DOSE, COUNCILMEMBER AND IS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, MY NAME IS HARUMI AND I'M BRINGING FORWARD THE CONSIDERATION THAT ALLOWS CONSIDERATION OF THE OAKLEY COMMUNITY GIFT CARD PROGRAM AND I WILL GO OVER THE DETAILS OF THE PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE BRIEF REPORT OF THE PROGRAM, EVALUATION WITH MY PRESENTATION. BACK IN JUNE, WE IMPLEMENTED TWO SMALL BUSINESS RELATED PROGRAMS, THE FIRST ONE WAS THE OAKLEY DIGITAL MARKET, THAT PROPOSED LOCAL PRODUCTS AND MAKERS ONLINE AND THE SECOND ONE WAS THE COMMUNITY GIFT CARD PROGRAM AND BOTH DIGITAL ONLINE PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT ECONOMIC RETENTION AND RECOVERY RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC AND I'M SURE YOU KNOW ABOUT THE GIFT CARD PROGRAM BUT JUST TO QUICKLY RECAP HOW THE COMMUNITY CARD WORKS, WE SELECTED A SERVICE PLATFORM WHICH IS ALL IN DIGITAL AND JUST THAT'S HOW THEY MAINTAIN AT LOW COST, AND HERE IS HOW THE YEFTI WEB PAGE FOR THE CITY OF OAKLAND AS YOU COULD SEE ON THIS SLIDE WHICH -- SO THAT PEOPLE COULD GO ONLINE AND THEY COULD CHOOSE THE AMOUNT BETWEEN $25, $150 AND CAN CHOOSE WHO TO SEND THE GIFT CARD TO, IT CAN BE THEIR FRIENDS, FAMILY AND THEMSELVES AND ALSO MANAGE TO -- WE ALSO MANAGE TO SELL MULTIPLE BULK PURCHASES THAT CAN BE GIVEN TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE ESPECIALLY AT A LARGE CORPORATION WITH EMPLOYEES FOR A ESSENTIAL OCCASION. AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE BUYER ONLY PAYS THE FACE VALUE OF THE CARD AND THE REST OF THE FEES INCLUDING THE MATCHED GIFT AMOUNT ARE COVERED BY OUR PROGRAM FUND. IT WORKS WITH THE MASTERCARD, THEY USE RESTRICTED ACCESS CARD WHICH WORKS AT A CERTAIN LOCATION, THE BUSINESSES THAT OPTED IN, AND WE CURRENTLY SUPPORT NEARLY 400 COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE INCLUDING OAKLEY AND TYPICALLY EACH COMMUNITY HAS ABOUT 50-100 LOCATIONS LISTED IN THE COMMUNITY AND IN OUR CASE T CITY AS AN ORGANIZER OF THIS PROGRAM, WE INVITED ALL THE BUSINESS LICENSE HOLDERS IN THE CITY AND WE STARTED WITH 23 LOCATIONS AND WE CURRENTLY HAVE 25 LOCATIONS LISTED AND ALL THESE LOCATIONS MEET THREE CONDITIONS, FIRST THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE OAKLEY BUSINESS LICENSE AND IT TAKES MASTERCARD AS A PAYMENT OPTION AND ARE INDEPENDENTLY OWNED BY A LOCAL OWNER AND WE CONTINUE TO INVITE AND ENCOURAGE MORE LOCAL BUSINESSES TO JOIN AS THE CARD IS GOOD FOR A YEAR FROM THE PURCHASE DATE. I WANTED TO GO OVER HOW WELL THIS PROGRAM HAS ACHIEVED ITS GOALS, WE SOLD OUT THE BUSINESS CARD VERY FAST, WITHIN FIVE WEEKS OF THE LAUNCH WHICH IS THE FASTEST TIME THAT'S RECORDED FOR OUR POPULATION SIZE AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE THE HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT UNLIKE OTHER COMMUNITIES, WE DID NOT SEND MY PR MARKETING MATERIAL AND RELIED ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE AND MARQUEES ON THE STREET SO, THE 100% OF THE FUND WENT DIRECTLY TO THIS PROGRAM FUND AND 71% OF THE PART PANTING LOCAL BUSINESSES HAVE REDEEMED SHOP OAKLEY CARDS WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE WEEKS AND ALTHOUGH THE CARD DID NOT EXPIRE FOR ABOUT A YEAR, 46% OF THE TOTAL SALES HAVE ALREADY BEEN REDEEMED IN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS, AND WE DID THE MATCH OF $25, $50, $100 AND $150 AND 77% OF GIFT CARDS WERE SOLD IN $150 VALUE WHICH MAKES SENSE BECAUSE THERE WAS A LIMIT OF TWO BONUS CARD PER PERSON SO THAT IF YOU WANT TO MAX OUT YOUR GIFT CARD AT NO COST ASPECT, YOU WANT TO BUY $150 CARD SO I'M GLAD PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR PROGRAM FUND. AND AS FOR THE KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR, HERE IS THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT METRICS, IT'S ONLY BEEN OPERATIONAL FOR ABOUT TEN WEEKS NOW AND TOTAL AMOUNT OF FUNDS RAISED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM SO FAR IS AROUND 100 THOUSAND DOLLARS BECAUSE OF THE MATCH AND NET CASH VALUE OF 44 THOUSAND DOLLARS, THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN REDEEMED BY THOSE BUSINESSES PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES AND 1 THOUSAND DOLLARS OF DISCREPANCIES HERE THAT YOU COULD SEE BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY PURCHASES OF 45 THOUSAND AND 44 THOUSAND OF ACTUAL REDEMPTION FEES IS DUE TO THE CREDIT CARD FEES WHICH TYPICALLY COSTS TO A BUSINESS 1.5 TO 3 PERCENT OF EACH TRANSACTION BUT REGARDLESS, WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT THE FUNDS HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT TO WORK TO THE LOCAL SHOPS AND BUSINESSES AND RESTAURANTS IN THE CITY OF OAKLEY VERY EFFECTIVELY AND THE DATA GIVEN BY THE YEFTI ALSO SHOWS THE 30% OF SHOPPERS ENDED UP SPENDING MORE THAN THEY PLANNED ORIGINALLY WHEN THEY VISIT THE STORE WITH A GIFT CARD AND 51% OF SHOPPERS TRIED NEW PLACES. AND ANOTHER ASPECT OF FOCUS I WANTED TO SEE THE QUALITATIVE DATA, WE CONDUCTED A SURVEY THAT HELPED US BETTER UNDERSTAND OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND LEARN HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THE SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF THIS PROGRAM AND SO FAR THE FEEDBACK RECEIVED WAS ALL POSITIVE, THEY REALLY LIKED THIS PROGRAM AND ESPECIALLY FROM THE PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES, THE FEEDBACK CONFIRMS THE CUSTOMERS WERE TRYING NEW ITEMS, EXPLORED NEW LOCATIONS AND BUSINESSES ARE ATTRACTING NEW CUSTOMERS WHO LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY, THAT REALLY MEETS THIS PROGRAM'S SCOPES AND OBJECTIVES. SO, AS FOR THE BUDGET ALLOCATION, IN RECENT YEARS, THE STUDY SHOWS THE RETAIL SALES SLOWS DOWN AFTER THE SUM AND HER RIGHT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR HOLIDAY SEASON, SO IT WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO INFUSE 100 THOUSAND DOLLARS FUNDS INTO THIS PROGRAM SO THIS TIME IT WILL BE THE DOUBLE AMOUNT THAT WE ALLOCATED BACK IN JUNE AND WE CAN ALLOCATE FUNDS BY PHASES, FIRST 50 THOUSAND DOLLARS, THEN ANOTHER 50 THOUSAND OR IT CAN BE 30, 30 TO 40 SO THE FUNDS CAN STRETCH OUT LONGER AND EXPAND TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR. SO THE STAFF RECOMMENDS THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT A PROPOSED RESOLUTION APPROVING THE AMENDMENT OF THIS YEAR'S BUDGET TO ALLOCATE ADDITIONAL 100 THOUSAND DOLLARS OF ARPA FUNDS TO THIS OAKLEY COMMUNITY GIFT CARD PROGRAM, AND WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND ANY FEEDBACK OR QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OF STAFF? MS. HIGGINS? >> SO, IF STARTING THIS OVER, PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT, CAN THEY BUY AGAIN BECAUSE IT'S A NEW START? >> YES, ABSOLUTELY, AND THAT'S SOMETHING ALSO WE CAN ADJUST ADMIN PLATFORM THAT ALLOWS ME TO ADJUST WHETHER WE WANT TO DO IT ONE PER PERSON OR TWO MORE OR MORE THAN TWO, SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON YOUR PREFERENCE HOW WE WANT TO SET IT UP. >> I LIKE THE BUY ONE, GET ONE, I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY COOL. I HAVE A CARD TIME WITH KNOWING MY BALANCE OR HOW TO FIND THE BALL LAN ON IT AND PEOPLE HAVE SAID TO ME, WHERE DO YOU GET THE BALANCE, I SAID, WELL, IF I TURN IT IN AND IT DOESN'T WORK, I KNOW I DON'T HAVE MONEY LEFT ON IT. >> YES, YOU HAVE TO LOG IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT AMOUNT RIGHT BEFORE YOU PURCHASE CERTAIN ITEMS AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIND OTHERWISE. >> SO, NO 800 NUMBER TO CALL AND LISTEN TO YOUR BALANCE? >> YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM E-MAIL YOU YOUR AMOUNT PERIODICALLY BUT I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW OFTEN THEY DO THAT, BASICALLY YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOUR E-MAIL AND THE PASSWORD WHEN YOU SET UP THE CARD AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU KNOW THE AMOUNT THAT YOU HAVE. >> ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. >> MS. WILLIAMS? >> I WOULD LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY BOUGHT IT TO NOT BE ABLE TO TO BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET THERE QUICK ENOUGH TO GET IT, SO I WAS ANNOYED WITH MYSELF, YOU SHOWED THE FEEDBACK, ARE HAVE WE DEFTLY SOLICITED THE SPECIFIC PLACES THAT WE'VE INCORPORATED IN THIS AND HAVE THEY SHOWN YOU, I MEAN I SAW ALL THE DATA OBVIOUSLY, BUT HAVE THE OWNERS TOLD YOU WHAT IT'S DONE FOR THEIR BUSINESS SPECIFICALLY OR IS IT JUST THOSE FEW COMMENTS THAT WERE IN THERE? >> WE DO HAVE SPECIFIC DATA BUT FOR THE QUALITATIVE FEEDBACK PURPOSE THAT WE JUST E-MAILED -- DID THE BLAST E-MAIL TO ALL THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND AMAZINGLY, WE RECEIVED A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK, ALL OF THEM WERE POSITIVE. >> AND THEN ARE WE SENDING THAT DATA TO HELP ATTRACT PEOPLE WHO WERE SLOW TO ADOPT? >> YES, AND I CONTINUE TO SOLICIT AS I ENCOUNTER THOSE OTHER BUSINESS OWNERS AND I'M REALLY HOPING TO HIT THE 50 LOCATION GOAL BUT IT MIGHT TAKE TIME. >> ALRIGHT, ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? ALRIGHT, DELIBERATIONS? ALRIGHT, PLEASE COME FORWARD, LET US KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND SAY YOUR PIECE. >> MY NAME'S JAMES GEARING, I RESIZE AT 660 WALNUT DRIVE IN OAKLEY, I'M CURIOUS, IS THIS PROGRAM THE 100 FUNDED BY THE CITY THEN, THE MATCHING, WHERE IS IT COMING FROM? >> SO, THIS IS FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED, IS IT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. >> FEDERAL ARPA FUNDS? >> YES. >> THEY'RE ALL TAXPAYER DOLLARS. >> DURING AN INFLATIONARY PERIOD, WE'RE THROWING MORE MONEY BUT IT'S TO ENCOURAGE SHOPPING IN OAKLEY, IS THAT CORRECT, IS THERE ANY LIMITATION ON WHAT A GIFT CARD CAN BE USED FOR? SO IT HAS TO BE A PARTICIPATING LOCATION? OKAY, THANK YOU. >> I KNEW THAT, IT HAS TO BE IN OAKLEY, WE LAY THOSE PARAMETERS WHEN WE APPROVED THE PROGRAM, AND THE COMPANY HAS TO OPT IN AND THEN IT'S GOODS OR SERVICES SO I KNOW THERE IS BEAUTY SUPPLY AND RESTAURANT AND IS HARDWARE STORES, IT RUNS THE GAMETE. >> VERY GOOD, I'M LOOKING INTO IT, THANK YOU. >> ANYBODY ELSE? GOING INTO DELIBERATIONS, DISCUSSIONS? >> MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND. >> ALRIGHT, A FIRST AND A SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> OPPOSED OR FASTENINGS? NONE, IT'S UNANIMOUS. >> MAYOR, IF I MAY, STEVE BURDO FROM ANIMAL SERVICES IS HERE. >> OKAY, THEN WE WILL CIRCLE BACK TO 1.6 WHICH IS THE UPDATE FROM CONTRA COSTA ANIMAL SERVICES. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR POPE, IT'S MY PLEASURE TO BE HERE TONIGHT, I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING TARDY, I WAS AT MY DESK PREPARED TO DO THIS PRESENTATION VIA ZOOM AND REALIZED THERE'S NO ZOOM LINK HERE, SO I GOT OVER HERE AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS I COULD AND I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TO PRESENT THIS UPDATE, MY NAME'S STEVE BURDO T PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER FOR CONTRA COSTA ANIMAL SERVICES AGENCY, IT'S BEEN A WHILE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC SINCE WE'VE BEEN HERE THE PROVIDE AN UPDATE SO I'M SILTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND GO THROUGH THIS DEPARTMENTAL UPDATE, AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE RECENTLY BEGUN THE NEW AGREEMENT WITH OUR CITIES AND WE'RE JUST ABOUT A MONTH INTO THAT, WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU, IF WE COULD GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE HERE, AISLE GIVE YOU A BRIEF SYNOPSIS ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT AND WHO WE ARE, WE HAVE A 38 THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT FACILITY IN MARTINEZ, THAT IS OUR FLAGSHIP SHELTER, WE USED TO HAVE TWO SHELTERS DUE TO THE COST BURDENS OF THE PANDEMIC, WE DID CLOSE THE SHELTER IN 2020, SO THE MARTINEZ SHELTER IS OUR ONLY LOCATION, WITHIN THAT SHELTER IN THAT FACILE, WE HAVE OUR DIVISIONS, WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT DIVISION, THE OFFICERS YOU SEE OUT HERE IN THE FIELD, THEY'RE RESPONDING TO STRAY ANIMALS, TAKING BITE INVESTIGATIONS, DOING INHUMANE INVESTIGATIONS AND KEEPING THE PEOPLE SAFE SO, WHEN THE ANIMALS COME INTO OUR SHELTER, WE HAVE A TEAM TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE FED, WATERED, TAKING THEM OUT, DOING BEHAVIOR EVALUATIONS, SO ON AND SO FORTH, IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ALSO HAVE OUR MEDICAL TEAM, WE HAVE TWO VETS ON STAFF, WE HAVE ANOTHER NUMBER OF VETS WE CONTRACT WITH, WE HAVE REGISTERED VETERINARY TECHNICIANS WHICH ARE NURSES FOR VETERINARIANS, A NUMBER OF THEM ON STAFF AND THEN VETERINARY ASSISTANTS WHO HELP TRANSPORT THE ANIMALS FROM SURGERY BACK TO THEIR KENNEL TO MONITOR THEM AFTER SURGERY AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. WE HAVE OUR CLERICAL DIVISION AND OUR ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION WHICH THEY'RE THE FRONT LINE IF YOU COME INTO OUR FACILITY, YOU COULD COME INTO OUR SHELTER, YOU COULD CALL US, THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE FIRST PEOPLE YOU TALK TO, THEY'RE OUR FIRST LINE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WE THINK THEY DO A GOOD JOB AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE HAVE OUR VOLUNTEER DIVISION WHICH VOLUNTEERS IN OUR SHELTER PLAY A HUMONGOUS ROLE, THEY PROVIDE THE ENRICHMENT FOR THE ANIMALS THAT ARE IN OUR CARE, THEY DO THE WALKING OF THE DOGS, PLAYING WITH THEM, THEY WILL SOCIALIZE THE CATS AND THEY ARE OUR ADOPTION COUNSELORS, SO IF YOU COME INTO THE SHELTER TO ADOPT,, YOU'RE GOING TO BE TALKING TO A VOLUNTEER THAT WILL WALK YOU THROUGH EVERYTHING THEY KNOW ABOUT THE ANIMAL AND HOPEFULLY SENDING YOU HOME WITH YOUR NEW FAMILY MEMBER. THESE LAST TWO SLIDES WERE FROM A DOCUMENT WE CREATED FOR ALL OF OUR CONTRACT CITIES, THIS IS SOMETHING YOU COULD HAND TO YOUR RESIDENTS THAT'S SPECIFICALLY TO OAKLEY AND WHAT WE DO HERE ON THE FRONT, WE GIVE THAT SYNOPSIS OF WHO WE ARE AS AN AGENCY, IN THE BACK HERE, WE PROVIDE OUR LIST OF SERVICE AND IS WE SPLIT THEM INTO TWO CATEGORIES, WE HAVE OUR PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES, EVERYTHING FROM STRAY ANIMAL PATROLS, BITE INVESTIGATIONS, INHUMANE INVESTIGATIONS, DECEASED ANIMAL RETRIEVAL, SO ON AND SO FORTH, OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES SUCH AS OUR LOW COST SPAY AND NEUTER CLINIC, OUR LOW COST VACCINATION CLINIC, OUR PROGRAMS FOR COMMUNITY CATS AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND THEN WE HAVE THERE -- THIS IS ON THE LEFT SIDE THERE, THERE IS -- IT'S QUESTION WE GET A LOT IS HOW MUCH DO WE PAY FOR ANIMAL SERVICES AND AS YOU KNOW, ANIMAL SERVICES, THE AGREEMENT IS SET UP VIA A PER CAPITA RATE, THE NEW PER CAPITA RATE IS $6.97 PER CAPITA, AND THAT IS JUST BEING TRANSPARENT, LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE INDIVIDUALLY PAYING FOR ANIMAL SERVICES AND THEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, REALLY ACCELERATED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, WE'VE PUT A LOT OF OUR SERVICES ONLINE THAT YOU USED TO HAVE TO CALL US FOR OR COME INTO THE SHELTER, NOW YOU COULD REPORT DECEASED ANIMALS ONLINE, YOU COULD JUST TELL US WHERE IT IS AND WE'RE GOING TO COME OUT AND GET IT, YOU COULD REGISTER ADOPTIONS ONLINE, YOU COULD DO YOUR LICENSING ONLINE, YOU CAN FILE NOISE COMPLAINTS ONLINE, WE MOVED A LOT OF THAT OUT OF OUR CALL CENTER AND ONLINE, THAT CLEARED UP OUR CALL CENTER TO DEAL WITH A LOT OF THE MORE SERIOUS CALLS THAT ARE COMING IN, EMERGENCY CALLS FOR ANIMAL RESCUES OR INHUMANE SITUATIONS OR JUST HELPING PEOPLE FIG WONDERING OUT HOW TO NAVIGATE THE PROCESSES OF LICENSING THEIR ANIMAL OR DOING SOMETHING MORE MUNDANE LIKE THAT. SO, WE'VE ADDED THAT THERE, ALL THE SERVICES THAT WE HAVE ON OUR WEBSITE AND THEN WE ADDED A QR CODE, IF YOU CLICK ON THAT, IF YOU PUT YOUR CAMERA OVER THAT QR CODE AND YOU CLICK ON IT, IT'S GOING TO TAKE YOU TO OUR ADOPTABLE ANIMALS PAGE, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO PROMOTE THOSE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, WE HAVE OVER 100 ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN OUR SHELTER RIGHT NOW, SINCE THE PANDEMIC'S BEEN RECITING AND THINGS ARE OPENING UP MORE FULLY, WE'RE SEEING MORE ANIMALS COME INTO THE SHELTER AND WE'RE ALSO SEEING LUCKILY MORE ADOPTIONS SO THAT'S BEEN A REALLY GOOD THING. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT KIND OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE MOST COMMON IN OAKLEY AND THOSE YEAR OVER YEAR, THESE ARE THE TOP THREE ACTIVITIES IN OAKLEY, STRAY ANIMAL ACTIVITIES WHICH INCLUDE AGGRESSIVE STRAY ANIMALS, CONFINED STRAY ANIMALS AND STRAY ANIMAL PATROL, INVESTIGATION ACTIVITIES WHICH INCLUDE BITE INVESTIGATIONS AND INHUMANE INVESTIGATIONS AND DECEASED ANIMAL ACTIVITIES WHICH INCLUDE PICKING UP DECEASED AND WILD DOMESTIC ANIMALS. SO, AS YOU COULD SEE, THIS IS YEAR TO DATE HERE, TOTAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE CITY OF OAKLEY ARE 487, AS YOU CAN SEE, THOSE TOP THREE ACTIVITIES ARE THE LION'S SHARE OF EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING HERE IN OAKLEY AND AGAIN, AS WE LOOK AT THOSE YEAR OVER YEAR OVER YEAR, THEY ARE CONSISTENTLY THE SAME, SOMETIMES ON THE OTHER ACTIVITIES OR RESCUE ACTIVITIES, ONE OF THOSE MAY JUMP OVER THE OTHER BUT YOUR TOP THREE ACTIVITIES ARE ALWAYS STRAY INVESTIGATION AND DECEASED ANIMAL RETRIEVALS, SO I WANTED TO GO OVER THE NEW AGREEMENT AND BEGINNING ON JULY 1, AND IF WE COULD GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, I'LL DETAIL THE OLD AGREEMENT WAS BASICALLY NOT EVEN A PAGE LONG AND IT WAS VERY VOID OF ANY REAL DETAIL ABOUT WHAT IT IS OUR DEPARTMENT DID OR WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHICH THAT AMBIGUITY WOULD CAUSE QUESTIONS BETWEEN CITY STAFF OR OUR DEPARTMENT OR COUNCILMEMBERS AND OUR OFFICERS, SO WE WANTED TO PUT IN PLACE A NEW AGREEMENT THAT'S VERY DETAILED AND PROVIDES THE SPECIFICS ABOUT WHAT WE DO, SO THE NEW AGREEMENT PROVIDES MUCH GREATER DETAIL REGARDING THE SERVICE LEVELS INCLUDING DETAIL THING SPECIFIC SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THE AGREEMENT FOR ALL AREAS OF OPERATION, CREATING ACCOUNTABILITY BY LISTING TARGET RESPONSE TIMES FOR EACH ACTIVITY TYPE, DEFINING WHAT IS COVERED UNDER DECEASED ANIMAL SERVICES, DESCRIBING WHICH SERVICES ARE NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE AGREEMENT AND CODIFYING PERFORMANCE REPORTING WITHIN THE AGREEMENT INCLUDING AN ANNUAL REVIEW AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT ALMOST EVERY CITY MANAGER AND POLICE CHIEF WHEN WE WERE WORKING TOWARDS A NEW AGREEMENT HAD EXPRESSED THEY WANTED. SO, THE NEW AGREEMENT INCLUDES A DIFFERENT FEE STRUCTURE THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS, IN PREVIOUS YEARS, IT WOULD JUST SET BY THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX, THE CPI, THIS WENT TO A MORE STRUCTURED FEE INCREASE MODEL, SO FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, FISCAL YEAR 22-23, THE COST PER CAPITA IS 797 FOR EACH PERSON RESIDING WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS, FOR FISCAL YEAR 23-24, IT'S GOING TO BE $9.11 FOR EACH PERSON RESIDING WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS AND TO EXPLAIN THAT, THERE WAS A POO PERIOD OF TIME DURING THE ECONOMIC RECESSION BACK IN 2008 WHERE THE CPI INCREASE WAS PLACED ON HOLD, THERE WAS NO FORMAL PROCESS TO SAY WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO REINSTATE THAT, SO THERE WAS A GAP THERE FOR A BUNCH OF YEARS, AND WHAT THIS MODEL IS DOING IS MAKING UP FOR THAT GAP, AND IF WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, YOU'LL SEE THAT IN FISCAL YEAR 24-25, WE WILL MOVE INTO A MORE EQUITABLE MODEL OF COST ALLOCATION WHICH IS SOMEWHAT OF A COST SHARING MODEL WHICH WILL BE -- WILL TAKE THE COUNTY'S BUNGED COST TO PROVIDE ANIMAL SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY IN THAT FISCAL YEAR, WILL SUBTRACT THE SUM OF ANIMAL LICENSING FEES ASK USER FEES, SO USER FEES ARE PEOPLE WHO COME THROUGH OUR SPAY AND NEUTER CLINIC OR OUR VACCINATION CLINIC AND WE WILL ALSO SUBTRACT THE BUDGETED COUNTY GENERAL FUND CONTRIBUTION FOR THAT FISCAL YEAR, WE'LL DIVIDE IT BY THE POPE LACING OF ALL THE CITIES WHICH THE COUNTY PROVIDES ANIMAL SERVICES, SO THAT COULD DO ONE OF TWO THINGS, IT COULD RESULT IN A SLIGHT INCREASE OR A SLIGHT DECREASE, IF IT RESULT INS A SLIGHT DECREASE, THAT WILL BE APPLIED IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, SO LET'S SAY WE HAD IF YOU TAKE THE NUMBERS AND WE HAD A 5 CENT PER CAPITA DECREASE IN THIS FISCAL YEAR, THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR, YOUR PER CAPITA RATE WOULD GO DOWN BY 5 CENTS, AND THEN EACH YEAR THE COUNTY WILL PREPARE A RECONCILIATION REPORT OF ACTUAL COSTS INCURRED BY THE COUNTY TO PROVIDE ANIMAL SERVICES DURING THE PRECEDING YEAR, THIS WILL ENSURE THE ANNUAL FEE PAID BY OAKLEY COVER IT IS ACTUAL COST INCURRED TO PROVIDE ANIMAL SERVICES, THE RECONCILIATION REPORT WILL BE COMPLETED AND SENT TO YOUR CITY IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST FOR EACH FISCAL YEAR, AGAIN, ANY COST SAVINGS FOR THAT FISCAL YEAR WILL BE APPLIED TO THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR. SO I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AS WE'RE INCREASING FUNDS HOW WE'RE SPENDING THAT, THAT GOES BACK INTO SERVICES, WE'RE GOING TO ADD ONE FULL TIME FIELD SERVICES SERGEANT FOR INCREASED ANIMAL SERVICES BEAT COVERAGE, IMPROVE RESPONSE TO DANGEROUS ANIMAL CASE AND IS IMPROVE PUBLIC SUPPORT AND TRAINING, WE'RE GOING TO ALSO ADD ONE FULL TIME FIELD UTILITY WORKER, FIELD UTILITY WORKERS ARE OUR STAFF WHO GO OUT AND PICK UP THE DECEASED ANIMALS, THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ACTIVITIES FOR OAKLEY, ALSO ONE OF THE BIGGEST ACTIVITIES FOR ALMOST EVERY CITY THAT WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH, SO THAT'S GOING TO ADD SOME SUPPORT THERE IN THAT AREA, THEN ON THE SHELTER END, WE'RE GOING ADD TWO FULL TIME ANIMAL CARE COORDINATORS TO ENHANCE OUR LIFESAVING PROGRAMS, SERVING OUR COUNTY RESIDENTS SUCH AS OUR PET ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, OUR TRANSFER PARTNER PROGRAM AND OUR ADOPTION PROGRAM, WE WILL ADD ONE FULL TIME MEDICAL SUPERVISOR TO FOCUS ON STRENGTHENING OUR SPAY, NEUTER AND VACCINE CLINIC SERVICES AND ADD ONE FULL TIME RVT TO EXPAND TO FIVE TEN HOUR DAYS PER WEEK. AND BEFORE I CLOSE, I WANTED TO MENTION TWO THINGS, ONE OF THEM IS THAT RECENTLY WORKING WITH YOUR CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, WE CREATED A WEB PAGE FOR YOUR WEBSITE HERE IN OAKLEY THAT DETAILS ANIMAL SERVICES, WHAT WE DO, IT LA A COPY OF THAT ONE PAGER THERE THAT PEOPLE COULD DOWN -- DOWNLOAD, WE WANT TO PROVIDE AS MUCH BY WAY OF RESOURCES ABOUT WHAT WE DO YOUR RESIDENTS, OFTENTIMES YOU THINK, WELL, ANIMAL SERVICES, THERE'S A MOOSE IN MY BACKYARD, AM I GOING TO CALL THEM, THAT'S NOT -- YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CALL US FOR THE NOOSING, YOU'RE GOING CALL ANOTHER DEPARTMENT THAT DEALS WITH THAT, THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE, HOWEVER IF IT'S A DECEASED OR WILD ANIMAL, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO CALL US FOR AND WE WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR FOR EVERYBODY AND MAKE IT EASY FOR YOUR RESIDENTS TO SEE, THE FINAL THING IS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE'VE BEEN DOING REALLY GOOD WITH ADOPTIONS, IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR, WE DID 252 ADOPTIONS, THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE REACHED OVER THE 200 ADOPTION MARK SINCE DECEMBER OF 2019, SO, THINGS ARE COMING BACK, OUR VOLUNTEER DIVISION IS FULLY STAFFED AND READY TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR NEW FAMILY MEMBER AND TO MAKE THAT EASIER, WE HAVE TWO FREE ADOPTION PROMOTIONS GOING ON, ONE THIS MONTH WHICH IS MBC AND TELEMUNDO CLEAR THE SHELTER MONTH AND NEXT MONTH WILL BE THE PET FOOD EXPRESS BAY AREA PET FAIR, FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS THROUGH THE END OF SEPTEMBER, ALL ADOPTIONS ARE FREE AT CONTRA COSTA ANIMAL SERVICES SO HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY WILL COME ON DOWN AND YOU CAN REFER THAT TO YOUR NETWORKS AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. >> QUESTIONS? MR. FULLER? >> YES, THANK YOU. IF SOMEBODY BRINGS IN SAY A CAT OR DOG OR TWO OF THEM, DO YOU ARRANGE WITH OTHER AGENCIES ALSO TO PUT OUT THAT THEY'RE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION? >> WE DO, YES, SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WAYS THAT THAT HAPPENS, WE HAVE OUR REGULAR ADOPTION PROMOTION WHICH IS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA, OUR COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS AND VEHICLES THAT WE UTILIZE, WE ALSO HAVE OUR TRANSFER PARTNER PORTAL, OUR TRANSFER PARTNERS ARE KES CUE GROUPS IN THE COMMUNITY, SO OTHER GROUPS THAT DEAL WITH ANIMALS THAT IN THE SHELTER, TAKING THEM OUT OF THE SHELTER AND PUTTING THEM IN SOMETIMES A FOSTER ENVIRONMENT OR THEIR OWN HOMES TO FIND THEM A PLACE, A LOT OF THOSE RESCUE GROUPS FOCUS ON SPECIFIC BREEDS, SO THERE ARE CATTLE DOG BREED RESCUES, THERE ARE GERMAN SHEPPERD BREED RESCUES, WHEN ANIMALS COME INTO OUR SHELTER OR COMING UP FOR ADOPTION, THE TRANSFER PARTNERS SUBSCRIBE TO CERTAIN LISTS THAT WE AUTOMATICALLY EVERY DAY PUT OUT TO THEM SO THEY GET THE NOTICES OF THOSE ANIMALS. >> THANK YOU, NOW WHAT'S -- IF A PERSON COMES IN SAY THEY ADOPT AN UNNEUTERED MALE THAT YOU ARE UNSURE OF THE RABIES VACCINATION, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO PROVIDE FOR THE PERSON SEEKING THAT? >> THE GOOD THING ABOUT THAT IS THAT WHEN WE ADOPT AN AL MALL, WE GIVE THEM THE SPAY AND NEUTER SURGERY, REQUIRED BY LAW, WE CAN'T LET THAT ANIMAL UNLESS THERE'S A MEDICAL CONDITION LEAVE OUR SHELTER WITHOUT BEING SPAYED OR METERED AND THE SAME THING WITH THE VACCINATIONS, WE MAKE SURE THEY GET THE RABIES, BASICALLY THE BIG THREE VACCINATIONS FOR DOGS ASK CATS, WE PROVIDE THOSE, WE MAKE SURE THEY'RE MICROCHIP SO THEY COME FULLY LOADED AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT. >> TWO STATEMENTS, ONE, MY EXPERIENCE HASN'T BEEN RECENTLY CALLING AND I HEARD OTHER PEOPLE SAY THIS BUT I'VE GONE ON CALLS ABOUT DIFFERENT SITUATIONS AND I'VE BEEN THE 75TH CALL IN THE QUEUE, PLEASE HANG ON AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME THING, IT'S LIKE -- I KNOW THIS ANIMAL COULD PROBABLY BENEFIT BUT GETTING THROUGH, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH, MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT ME TO SAY IT BUT I CALLED SUPERVISOR FERGUSON'S OFFICE AND SHE GETS THROUGH TO YOUR OFFICE, HAVE WE DONE ANYTHING TO ENHANCE THE CALL-IN CENTER. >> YES, I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LAST TIME YOU CALLED WAS, BUT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THAT WAIT TIME IN THE QUEUE WAS PRETTY LARGE, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PROMPTED US TO MOVE A LOT OF THOSE SERVICES THAT PEOPLE WERE CALLING US FOR TO ONLINE, WHEN THOSE PEOPLE CALL FOR A DECEASED ANIMAL REPORT OR TO DO A NOISE COMPLAINT, THE CALL IS MUCH LESS TIME BECAUSE WE'RE REFERRING THEM, GO TO OUR WEBSITE, FILL OUT A REPORT, IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER, WE'RE GOING TO HELP FILL THAT OUT FOR THEM, THAT'S BEEN WORKING AND OUR CALL VOLUME HAS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY, NOW IF YOU CALL, YOUR WAIT TIME IS NOT 30 MINUTES, 45 MINUTES, IT'S MORE LIKE 5-7 MINUTES. >> I'M APPRECIATIVE OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH LICENSING, WITH SENIOR CITIZENS, I THINK IT'S DONE TO $5 IF IT'S THAT MUCH, AND NOT ONLY THAT, I SENT IN THE FULL AMOUNT AND THEY SENT IT BACK, NO, YOU'RE TOO OLD SO NOW YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH. >> I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED, WE TRY TO BE AS SUPPORTIVE TO THE COMMUNITY AS POSSIBLE, SO WHEN SOMEBODY IS NOT AWARE OF THOSE POLICIES AND HE DO -- OUR STAFF IS GOOD ABOUT GETTING BACK TO THEM AND SAYING, HEY, YOU OVERPAID THERE AND THE SAME THING WE'VE HAD THAT WITH A LOT OF VETERANS WHO HAVE COME IN, VETERANS GET A FREE LICENSE AND A FREE ADOPTION AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS AWARE OF THOSE THINGS AND ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEM. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> MS.

YOU'LL HAVE TO TELL ME HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE LAST NAME, COME ON UP. >> IT'S FRANCINE [INAUDIBLE], THANK YOU, I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE A QUESTION OR CONCERN THAT I LIVE ON TEAKWOOD AND I'M ALL FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND SEEP YOURS, I'M A SENIOR, I THINK IT'S JUST THE FACT THAT WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED OF ANYTHING HAPPENING ON THAT STREET AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE MY CONCERNS ARE, I MEAN, I'VE LIVED THERE FOR MANY YEARS AND WE GOT NOTICES WHEN WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A PARK ON THAT STREET ACROSS FROM US AND WE WERE INVITED TO COME HERE AND VOTE ON THINGS AND PICK APPARATUSES US FOR OUR KIDS TO PLAY ON WHICH OBVIOUSLY NEVER HAPPENED BUT THE FACT WAS WE WERE NOTIFIED, WHETHER IT WAS IN WRITING OR IN THE NEWS AND I REMEMBER GETTING MAILINGS, SO I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST KIND OF A LOSS TO THINK WHY WE WEREN'T INFORMED, SO THAT'S MY CONCERN. >> WE'LL HAVE STAFF ANSWER THAT AFTER THE OTHER PEOPLE SPEAK. RAY SERNUP. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, MY NAME IS RAY, I LIVE AT 4930 TEAKWOOD DRIVE WHICH IS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE THREE PARCELS, MY CONCERN IS ONE THING, THESE ARE A HIGH VALUE SUBDIVISION, 500 THOUSAND DOLLARS PLUS HOMES, THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THIS ROAD, THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE AND I'VE NEVER SEEN WHERE THEY WOULD PUT LOW INCOME IN THE MIDDLE OF A SUBDIVISION LIKE THIS. IT'S SOMETHING THAT I DON'T THINK BELONGS THERE, I HAVE SEEN THE ONES IN PITTSBURG, THEY'RE SMALLER, THEY'RE MORE MODULAR, BUT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, IT WOULDN'T FIT, WE HAVE ENOUGH HIGH DENSITY AS IT IS, WE HAVE THE SENIOR HOUSING OVER BY LUCKY SHOPPING SENT E WE HAVE APARTMENTS UP FRONT ON THE CORNER OF TEAKWOOD AND HIGHWAY 4 OR MAIN STREET, WHAT WE NEED IS REGULAR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT MATCH OURS. YOU KNOW, WE LOVE OUR SUBDIVISION, WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE LOVE THE WAY IT IS. WE DON'T -- WE REALLY DON'T WANT ANYTHING LIKE THAT OVER IN OUR AREA. IT'S GOING TO INCREASE TRAFFIC, THERE'S ENOUGH TRAFFIC AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, WE'VE ASKED FOR SPEED BUMPS, WE'VE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION OR ANYTHING ON THAT AND ANOTHER THING THAT I HAVE LOOKED ON THE WEBSITE AND THERE IS A PROVISION ON IT THAT SAYS FUTURE PHASE COULD BE CONSTRUCTED AS SEPARATE DETACHED ADU'S ON EACH LOT IN THE REAR YARDS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER FROM 6 TO 9 FAMILIES OR LIVING AREAS IN THOSE THREE LOTS, NOW, THAT'S GOING TO INCREASE -- RECEIVE MORE TRAFFIC AND MORE CONGESTION AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT BELONGS THERE. THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY. >> ALRIGHT. ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? COME ON UP AND LET US KNOW WHO YOU ARE. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND HONORABLE CITY COUNCILMEMBERS, MY NAME IS DANA, ONE OF THE DIRECTORS OF YELLOW ROOF FOUNDATION, I AM ONE OF THE BREASTED PARTIES HERE TONIGHT, WITH ME TONIGHT IS JODEE VALENTINE, OUR YELLOW ROOF FOUNDATION PROGRAM COORDINATOR AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE, IN LIGHT OF THE CONCERN EXPRESSED, I WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE WERE INTENDING TO DO AND WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND WHY LOW INCOME HOUSING ISN'T EXACTLY THE RIGHT WAY TO CATEGORIZE WHAT IT IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, THESE ARE THREE SINGLE FAMILY LOT AND IS PROPOSING THREE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WITH ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS SO A TOTAL OF SIX UNITS ON THREE LOTS HAS INTEGRATE INTO THIS COMMUNITY AND THE WAY WE DO IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, WE'RE A PUBLIC CHARITY, SO PEOPLE THINK OF THAT AS DOING LOW INCOME HOUSING THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR HEAD FROM PROBABLY THE 70'S OR 80'S, WHAT WE DO IS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MODEL, WE -- THE SIX BOARD OF DIRECTOR MEMBERS ARE ALL MEMBERS OF THE DENOVA HOMES EXECUTIVE TEAM, IT IS OWNED BY A CONQUERED BASED 30 PLUS YEAR HOME BUILDING COMPANY, THE SIX OF US HAVE A COMBINED 150 SOME ODD YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN DEVELOPING PROPERTY WE ALL HAVE PHILANTHROPIC BACKGROUNDS AND WE DECIDED TO GET TOGETHER, DAVE AND LAURIE FORMED THE FOUNDATION T SIX OF US GOT TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH A WAY O BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITHOUT HAVING SOME OF THE PUBLIC RESTRICTIONS, SO OURS IS ALL PRIVATELY FUNDED AND WHAT WE DO IS WE GO OUT AND WE FIND SURPLUS LAND SO LOTS IN CITIES THAT THE CITIES NEED TO FIRST OFFER TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS AND THEN WE GO OUT TO OUR DENOVA TRADE PARTNERS AND THEY DONATE THEIR TIME AND THEIR TALENT AND THE SIX OF US DONATE OUR TIME AND WE COME UP WITH A WAY TO BUILD AT A MUCH LOWER COST. WE DO THAT SO THAT WE CAN OFFER RENT AT NO MORE THAN 30% OF THE INDIVIDUAL OR THE FAMILY'S INCOME, SO THEIR RENT IS FIXED, IF THEIR JOB CHANGES, IF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE, THEY KNOW THAT THEIR HOUSING IS SAFE, IT'S SECURE. TO DO THAT, YOU WOULD THINK WE WOULD BE BUILDING PERHAPS A LESSER PRODUCT BUT WE DON'T BECAUSE SO MUCH IS DONATED, WE DID JUST BUILD THE PITTSBURG PROJECT, IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE A LOOK AND TALK TO THE CITY OF PIT BURG, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO, WE BUILT IT FOR 200 THOUSAND DOLLARS A DOOR, FOR COMPARISON, THE CURRENT REPORTED FIGURES FOR ONE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT EXCEEDS 650 THOUSAND DOLLARS A DOOR, SO OUR COST, OUR DIRECT COSTS GO WAY DOWN BECAUSE WE LEVERAGE THE TRADE PARTNER RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE BASED ON THE PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITY WE TEND TO DO BUSINESS WITH, THAT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP THOSE RENTS LOW BUT STILL KEEP THAT PRODUCT LOOKS LIKE WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE IN A SINGLE FAMILY COMMUNITY, SO I SEE THAT THE CONCEPTUAL ARCHITECTURE IS UP ON THE SCREEN, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT HIGH DENSITY AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HARDWORKING FAMILIES, THE FAMILIES THAT ARE IN PITTSBURG INCLUDE A TEACHER, AN ADMINISTRATOR FOR A CITY, WE HAVE A SECURITY GUARD, THESE ARE FAMILIES THAT THEY'RE WORKING FAMILIES, THEY HAD SOME OF THEM, SOME REALLY HARD TIMES IN THE PAST, PERHAPS SOME MEDICAL ISSUES, PERHAPS A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATION THAT FORCED THEM TO LEAVE WITH NOTHING, AND GETTING BACK ON YOUR FEET AND HAVING THAT STABLE HOUSING IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE AFTER THAT, SO WE DO SOMETHING JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF HOW WE GET THE MODEL TO WORK AND THEN WE STABILIZE THEIR RENT AND THEN THERE'S A LENGTH OF TIME THEY'RE LIMITED TO IN THE UNIT BECAUSE THE IDEA IS WE'RE GIVING THEM TIME TO STABILIZE, THEY'RE WORKING, THEY HAVE JOBS, THEY ARE WANTING TO GET TO THE NEXT STOP IN THEIR LIFE, WE'RE JUST HELPING TO BRIDGE THAT GAP WHICH DOESN'T EXIST TRULY IN THE MARKET, SO WITH THAT, I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BUT HOPEFULLY THAT GIVES SOME ASSURANCE THAT THE PROGRAM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ISN'T QUITE LIKE WHAT HAS BEEN TRADITIONALLY CONSIDERED LOW INCOME HOUSING AND MAYBE GIVES PEOPLE A LITTLE BIT OF ASSURANCE THAT THIS IS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MODEL DESIGNED TO FIT INTO THAT COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. >> I JUST WANTED TO -- I UNDERSTAND THE PROGRAM BUT MAYBE FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS THAT MAY NOT HAVE HEARD IT, LIKE YOU GUYS MANAGE IT, RIGHT? >> WE DO. >> CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. >> YEAH, SO WE HAVE A PORTFOLIO INDEPENDENT OF YELLOW ROOF, WE HAVE A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT MANAGES OUR PROPERTIES AND THEN WE HAVE THE YELLOW ROOF PORTFOLIO, IN HOUSE, WE HANDLE ALL OF THE MANAGEMENT, JODEE TAKES THE PHONE CALLS, MEET WIDTHS THE RESIDENTS, BY WAY OF EXAMPLE, TODAY JODIE, SHE WAS OUT AT THE VILLAGE DOING ALL OF THE BACK OF SCHOOL SUPPLY DOUGH DOE NATIONS FOR THAT COMMUNITY, THEY MOVED IN, IN APRIL, THEY ARE STILL GETTING THEIR FEET UNDER THEM, THERE WAS A DONATION DRIVE AND ALL OF THEIR SCHOOL SUPPLIES GOT DELIVERED TODAY AND SHE CHECKED IN ON ALL OF THEM, I GOT ONE QUESTION BECAUSE I WAS ARRANGING FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR ONE OF THE KIDS, SHE GOES AND TALKS WITH THEM AND WE MANAGE NOT ONLY THE THE PROPERTY BUT ALSO THEY GET FINANCIAL TRAINING SO THERE ARE CLASSES TO HELP THEM IN PARTNERING WITH THE SAME PEOPLE WHO DO OUR FINANCING FOR OUR HOME BUYING, THOSE ARE THE PARTNERS THAT ARE HELPING THEM WITH FINANCIAL TRAINING SO THEY CAN GET WAN K ACCOUNTS SET UP AGAIN AND GET SAVING ACCOUNTS SET UP SO ALL OF THAT HAPPENS, SO BOTH THE PHYSICAL AND THE OTHER SERVICES ALL HAPPEN THROUGH US DIRECTLY OUT OF OUR OFFICE IN CONCORD WHERE JODEE SITS EVERY DAY TAKING THE CALLS, ANYTHING THAT'S NEEDED. SO, YEAH, SO WE HANDLE THAT PERSONALLY. >> MS. WILLIAMS? >> SO, I WAS SURPRISED AT SOME OF THE PUSH-BACK, I SHOULDN'T BE BUT I WAS SURPRISED AT SOME OF THE PUSH BACK THAT CAME SO I WOULD LOVE JUST LIKE COUNCILMEMBER HIGGINS JUST SAID TO EXPAND A LITTLE BIT, ONE, HOW DO YOU ALL EVEN SELECT, SIX SEEMS VERY MINUSCULE FOR OUR COMMUNITY WHICH I UNDERSTAND, I WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO GO TO THE NINE AND FIND OTHER PLACES AS WELL, SORRY PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO DON'T LIKE THAT, SO HOW DO YOU SELECT, AND TWO, SO WE'VE HEARD THAT IT'S A THREE YEAR LEASE TERM AND EVERYBODY SAYS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY DON'T LEAVE, SO, I WOULD LOVE IF YOU COULD JUST ADDRESS THAT FOR PEOPLE'S CONCERNS SO THEY UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO GIVE PEOPLE SORT OF THAT HELPING HAND UP. >> SO, WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAW WHEN IT COMES TO RENTALS, RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A RENTAL APPLICATION THAT IS STANDARD, IT'S APPROVED BY OUTSIDE COUNSEL, I HAVEN'T DONE LAN LORD TENANT LAW IN A LONG TIME, SO WE HAVE A SPECIALTY FIRM THAT MAKES SURE WE'RE UP TO DATE ON EXACTLY WHO WE RENT TO AND HOW WE TAKE IN APPLICATIONS SO WE FOLLOW ALL THE LAW AND IS WE HAVE PARTNER INS THE COMMUNITY WE GO OUT TO, SO ONE OF THE PARTNERS WE'VE USED IN THE PAST IS THERE IS A COORDINATOR FOR HOMELESS SERVICES, THAT WAS THE COORDINATOR WE WOULD SAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE UNITS, PLEASE TELL ALL OF THE FOLKS THAT YOU KNOW WHO MIGHT NEED THESE SERVICES AND THEY SUBMIT AN APPLICATION, THERE ARE STANDARD QUALIFICATIONS THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MEET, WE HAVE SOME OF THE SAME POLICIES ASK ADDENDUM TOS THE LEASE, THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN'T DO IN THE SAME WAY YOU WERE RENTING IN A TYPICAL RENTAL COMMUNITY, A MARKET RATE RENTAL COMMUNITY, THERE ARE RULES AND REGULATIONS, YOU HAVE TO SIGN ON THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ABIDE BY ALL OF THEM, SO, ALL OF THE BEHAVIORS THAT ARE PROHIBITED IN A TYPICAL RENTAL COMMUNITY, THEY'RE PROHIBITED IN THIS RENTAL COMMUNITY, WE TAKE IN THE APPLICATIONS AND WE FOLLOW, IT'S THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY'RE RECEIVED SO WE GO THROUGH AND WE LOOK AT THE APPLICATIONS AND IF THEY'RE QUAL IF I HAD, WE PLACE THEM IN A UNIT. AND THEN ONCE THEY'RE PLACED IN A UNIT, WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL PROVIDERS TO HELP TO BUILD UP THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO NEED UNITS BECAUSE WE'RE BUILDING IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS NR, THE SAME WAY WE'RE PURSUING SURPLUS LAND HERE, WE HAVE THREE OTHER PROJECT WES EAR LOOKING AT, AT THE SAME TIME, SIX AMOUNTS ISN'T ENOUGH, NINE UNITS ISN'T ENOUGH BUT WE'RE DOING THEM IN SMALL GROUPS BECAUSE THEY ARE 100% PRIVATELY FUNDED, SO RIGHT NOW, DOING OVER THE FIRST FEW YEARS, DOING FIVE PROJECTS OF SIX UNITS EACH WE FEEL LIKE IS A GOOD AMOUNT AND ALSO THOSE SMALLER UNITS, JODIE'S MANAGING THEM PERSONALLY SO WE LIKE THAT THEY'RE LOCAL AND THAT WE CAN GET TO THEM TWICE A DAY IF WE NEED TO AND THAT'S WHAT SHE DID TODAY, TWICE A DAY TO DROP OFF WHAT'S NEEDED AND TO BE THERE, SO, IT'S THE LONG WAY OF SAYING WE'RE FOLLOWING THE LAW BUT IT'S VERY SPECIFIC IN WHAT WE CAN AND CONDITION DO AND IT'S RESTRICTIVE IN WHAT THEY CAN AND CONDITION DO. >> ALRIGHT, SO SOME OF OUR PUBLIC SPEAKERS BROUGHT UP SOME ISSUES AND BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU, I IMAGINE WE CAN GET THE ANSWERS, THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE NOTIFICATION OF PROJECTS. THIS ONE'S NOT A PROJECT YET. >> THIS IS NOT A PROJECT, WE DEPARTMENT DO ANY FORMAL NOTIFICATION, IF YOU CONSTRUCT ONE SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON ONE SINGLE FAMILY LOT, THAT WOULDN'T REQUIRE A NOTIFICATION, THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE A COUNCIL OR PLANNING COMMISSION ITEM, THAT ACTION, THESE HOMES WOULD BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED AT A STAFF LEVEL BUT I KNOW DENOVA WORK WIDTHS THE COMMUNITY AND YELLOW ROOF FOUNDATION, I BELIEVE THEY WILL BE NOTIFYING THE RESIDENTS BEFORE CONSTRUCTION STARTS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE GOOD NEIGHBORS. >> OKAY. THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT AGE RESTRICTION. HEARING YOU TALK, IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THERE WILL BE ANY AGE RESTRICTION. >> NO, THIS IS NOT PLANNED TO BE AGE RESTRICTED AT THIS POINT WHICH IS NOT TO SAY THAT WE CAN'T HAVE -- IF OUR CONTACT IN OAKLEY F THE CITY SAID, HEY, WE HAVE THIS GREAT LIST OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ALL 65 AND ABOVE OR 55 AND ABOVE WHO ARE HOMELESS AND WE'D LOVE FOR YOU TO USE THIS COORDINATOR TO HELP FILL THE SPOTS, WE LIKE TO FILL THE NEED IN THAT COMMUNITY, IF THERE IS A NO NEED, JUST SEND PEOPLE ARE WAY, SEND PEEP JODIE'S WAY BECAUSE SHE DOES FIELD THOSE CALLS EVERY DAY, SO SHE CAN CERTAINLY PUT THEM ON AN INTEREST LIST IN THE SAME WAY WE WOULD FOR ONE OF THE HOMES WE WERE SELLING AND LET THEM KNOW AS SOON AS THE APPLICATION IS AVAILABLE. >> WE LOVE OUR SENIORS IN OAKLEY, THEY CONTRIBUTED THEIR WHOLE LIVES, IT'S GOOD THAT WE HELP TAKE CARE OF THEM AS WELL. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> THERE WAS ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT TRAFFIC, SO IT'S -- >> THESE PARCELS ARE DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL IN OUR GENERAL PLAN, RESIDENTIAL IN OUR ZONING MAP, THE THREE UNITS WOULD BE A NOMINAL NUMBER OF NEW CAR TRIPS, EACH SINGLE FAMILY HOME IS ONE NEW PEAK HOUR TRIP SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THREE PEAK HOUR TRIPS FOR THESE THREE HOMES WITH THE ATTACHED ADU, SO THERE REALLY IS NO IMPACT BECAUSE THE GENERAL IMPACT AND THE ZONING ASSUME AND THERE WOULD BE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THESE PARCELS. >> THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT SPEED BUMPS, TRAFFIC CALMING. >> WE HAVE A TRAFFIC CALMING PROGRAM, IF THE RESIDENTS -- AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH THAT PROCESS BEFORE, THEY'RE WELCOME TO REACH BACK OUT TO OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS SOME TIME BETWEEN THE LAST TIME THEY SPOKE WITH US BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO WALK THROUGH THAT PROCESS AGAIN. >> AND YOU DIDN'T SAY HOW LONG AGO WHAT THEY'RE ASKING, I DON'T SEE WHERE YOU'RE SITTING FOR THE TRAFFIC REVIEW, IF YOU COULD GO ON OUR CITY DEPARTMENT THROUGH OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, THERE IS A PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY DIEPPE TO EVALUATE STREETS FOR TRAFFIC CALMING AND SPEED BUMPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, IT'S A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD, A NEW PROGRAM. >> WE'VE HAD IT IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND IT'S BEEN USED BY MANY NEIGHBORHOODS, SOMETIMES THERE ARE TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES THAT ARE WARRANTED AND SOMETIMES THERE'S NOT, SO IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE DATA SHOWS. >> SOMETIMES BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE STREET, WE'RE LIMITED IN WHAT WE CAN PUT IN, SO THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT ALL THAT. THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT A THIRD UNIT PER PARCEL, A SEPARATE ADU IN THE BACKYARD I GUESS DETACHED? >> YEAH, SO UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THAT WOULD BE I GUESS THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE, BUT OUR CONCEPTUAL ARCHITECTURE HAS TWO UNITS PER LOT BASED ON THE PLANS WE CURRENTLY HAVE DRAWN, SO I GUESS WE COULD TALK TO STAFF ABOUT THAT IF SOMEBODY WANTED MORE UNITS, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RESIDENTS DO NOT WANT MORE UNITS AND WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED IS SIX UNITS TOTAL ON THREE LOTS. >> YEAH, IT'S PRETTY DENSE NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY, IF YOU'VE DRIVEN DOWN THERE AND LOOKED FOR A PARKING SPOT, YOU KIND OF KNOW. ALRIGHT, SO THAT WAS ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD, WAS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WANTED TO SPEAK FROM THE COMMUNITY? COME ON UP, LET US KNOW WHO YOU ARE, IF WE NEED ANOTHER QUESTION, WE CAN CALL YOU BACK UP. >> MY NAME IS JERRY SWARTZ, I'M ALSO A FELLOW RESIDENT OF OAKLEY AND IX ALL OF YOU GUYS LIVE IN OAKLEY, YOU ALL LIVE IN OAKLEY, ALL YOU GUYS? YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE INITIAL BOARD MEETING, YOU MENTIONED YOU HAD WORK GROUPS CONCERNING THE SALE OF THESE PROPERTIES, WAS THE RESIDENTS INVITED TO THAT OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN, WERE THEY? WAS THERE ONE? >> IT WAS DURING A CITY COUNCIL MEETING IF I REMEMBER RIGHT. >> WAS IT, SO -- >> WHEN WAS THAT? >> JULY 12TH. >> JULY 12TH -- >> LAST MONTH. >> YEAH, I'M JUST LIKE THE GAL THAT SPOKE, THIS IS NEW TO US, YOU KNOW, AS BEING RESIDENTS, WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR 40 YEARS RIGHT THERE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, SO THIS IS JUST NEW, WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE WORK GROUP, I WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD GET IN ON ANOTHER ONE OR IF THIS PROCESS IS ACTUALLY ESCALATED TO THE POINT WHERE THIS DEAL IS GOING TO BE DONE. IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? >> WE CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS WHEN YOU'RE DONE. >> OKAY. YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING I HAVE IS I WAS JUST WONDERING AS A COMMITTEE IF YOU GUYS PONDERED THE FACT OF THE CHANGE IN OUR PROPERTY VALUE FOR THE NUMEROUS HOME OWNERS IN THAT SUBDIVISION, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU COULD ANSWER THAT AS WELL. AND I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO GROUP, THE YELLOW ROOF GROUP FOR THE GREAT STUFF YOU'RE DOING AND JUST I'M NEGLIGENT NOT BEING AT -- I GUESS YOU HAD ONE WORK GROUP, SO, YEAH, SO THAT -- I WOULD JUST WANT TO ECHO THE FACT OF THE OTHER RESIDENTS THAT JUST OUR INITIAL REACTION IS IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE THINGS THAT REALLY EVERYBODY HAS STATED, SO THAT'S IT AND I HOPE THAT THERE'S MORE WORK GROUPS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. >> ALRIGHT. SO, THE QUESTION ABOUT WORK GROUPS OR PUBLIC MEETINGS, SO AT THIS STAGE, TO GIVE THE AUDIENCE BACKGROUND INFORMATION T CITY OWNS THIS PARCEL AND WE DETERMINED THAT THE CITY WASN'T GOING TO USE IT FOR A PUBLIC PURPOSE SO IT'S SURPLUS, WE'RE GOING TO SELL IT, CALIFORNIA STATE LAW IF WE'RE GOING TO SELL ANY OF OUR PROPERTY SAYS YOU FIRST HAVE TO GIVE IT TO LOW INCOME HOUSING ADVOCATES, AFFORDABLE HOUSING GETS FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL BEFORE WE COULD SELL IT TO ANYBODY ELSE WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE, RIGHT, AND THE MERE SALE OF THE PROPERTY ISN'T LIKE A PLANNING ITEM WHERE THERE WOULD BE NOTIFICATIONS SENT OUT AND BUILDING PLANS REVIEWED, THAT STUFF'S COMING, RIGHT NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CITY SELLING THE PROPERTY. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF PROPERTY VALUES OF OTHER PROJECTS, NEIGHBORHOODS AND PROJECTS WHERE YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE. >> YEAH, SO THE IDEA IS WE'RE BUILDING SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE AND FITS IN WITH THE COMMUNITY, THE FACT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO BUILD FOR A LESSER COST WHICH ALLOWS US UNDER OUR MODEL BECAUSE WE HAVE DONATED PRIVATE DONATIONS THAT MAKE THAT POSSIBLE, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE VALUE OF THE HOME THAT'S THERE OR THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. THE ONLY THING THAT IT DOES IS BECAUSE OF OUR PRIVATE FUNDING, WE'RE ALLOWED TO -- WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO LOWER THE RENT BUT THE HOMES ARE STILL GOING TO BE WELL CONSTRUCTED, HIGH QUALITY HOMES WHEREAS IT COSTS CALIFORNIA 650 THOUSAND DOLLARS A DOOR ON AVERAGE, IT COSTS US 2, SCALE THAT TO THE SIZE OF THE UNITS, SCALE THAT TO THE NUMBER OF BEDROOMS ASK YOU GET THE SENSE WE'RE DOING IT LESS EXPENSIVELY TO ALLOW THIS MODEL TO WORK TO HELP PEOPLE AS A PRIVATE PUBLIC CHARITY SO WE'RE A PRIVATE ENTITY BUT WE HAVE THIS PUBLIC CHARITY, SO THE HOME ITSELF IS GOING TO HAVE WHATEVER VALUE WOULD BE THE APPRAISED VALUE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. >> I THINK THE QUESTION WAS MORE CENTERED AROUND THE NEIGHBORS. YOU PUT ONE OF THESE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ALL THE NEIGHBORS AROUND IT -- >> BECAUSE IT HAS LOWER INCOME, AND THE ANSWER TO THAT, THERE'S NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT HAVING THREE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WITH ADU'S IN A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD LOWER THE VALUE. APPRAISALS LOOK AT THE COMPARISON METH OF THE QUALITY AND THE SIZE OF CONSTRUCTION AND WHAT THE ACTUAL HOME IS, NOT NECESSARILY THE USE, SO THEY'RE GOING TO VALUE THE HOME, NOT THE RENT, IT'S NOT LIKE A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THIS IS A PRIVATE SINGLE FAMILY HOME, THEY'RE GOING TO VALUE THE HOME ON THE LAND AND THE VALUE OF THE HOME PLUS THE LAND SHOULD NOT BRING DOWN VALUES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. >> AND AGAIN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU GUYS BUILDING AND OWNING AND MAINTAINING, YOU'RE NOT BUILDING AND SELLING, YOU GUYS ARE HOLDING THE QUOTES AND BEING RESPONSIBLE. >> IT OWNS AND MANAGES ITS OWN PORTFOLIO. >> MR. MAYOR, I MIGHT INTERJECT, ONE THING THAT MAYBE NOT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS IS WHEN THE CITY HAS SURPLUS PROPERTY IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF OFFERING THAT PROPERTY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, I KNOW THE COUNCIL KNOWS THAT, OTHER INS THE AUDIENCE MAY NOT KNOW THAT AND IT COULD VERY WELL HAVE BEEN THAT WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A MUCH INFERIOR PRODUCT TO WHAT'S BEING OFFERED HERE AND THIS IS NOT MEANT TO CAST DISPERSIONS ON OTHER DEVELOPERS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN A MORE TRADITIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCT AND THE CITY'S HANDS WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY MUCH TIED BECAUSE WE HAVE TO OFFER TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS FIRST AND ONLY IF THERE IS NOT A REASONABLE OFFER, THEN AND ONLY THEN CAN THE CITY GO TO MARKET RATE, SO I THINK YOU'RE GETTING A SUPERIOR PRODUCT TO WHAT THE OPTION COULD BE HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING ATTRACTIVE HOMES BUT YOU'RE ALSO GETTING SOMETHING THAT'S BEING MANAGED BY THE DEVELOPER WHEREAS -- IT'S NOT YOUR TIME TO TALK, THANK YOU. YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN MUCH INFERIOR PRODUCTS IS THE POINT I WANT TO MAKE AND I THINK I JUST WANT THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY'S HANDS ARE TIED AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IS -- HAS BEEN THE GOAL OF THE STATE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEAR AND IS THE STATE HAS BEEN CHANGING THE LAW TO ESSENTIALLY TIE THE CITY'S HANDS AND THIS IS JUST ONE SMALL WAY BUT THE GOOD THING IS WE HAVE A SUPERIOR PRODUCT HERE BEING OFFERED BY A DEVELOPER OR THE NON-PROFIT ARM OF A DEVELOPER THAT DOES DEVELOP IN THIS COMMUNITY, SO I JUST WANT TO OFFER THAT IS THAT THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT COMES TO US, YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE JUST OFFERING IT ON THE MARKET, WE ARE OFFERING IT ON THE MARK BUT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH SEVERAL HOOPS AND IF WE DON'T, I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE IF WE DON'T OFFER THIS THROUGH THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING LAW AND IS WE DON'T COMPLY, WE COULD INCUR SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT PENALTIES SO JUST PUTTING THAT ON THE RECORD FOR THOSE AND I REALIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS NOT A SUBJECT THAT MOST PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THIS SIDE OF THE ROOM KNOW BUT I WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE'S BENEFIT. >> YEAH, AND TO ECHO HIS COMMENTS, THE FRUSTRATION WE HAVE UP HERE AS WELL BECAUSE OUR HANDS HAVE BEEN TIED IN IN OF THESE SITUATIONS ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITIES WHICH WE'RE BUILDING, LIKE YOU ELECTED US, YOUR CITY REPRESENTATIVES TO BUILD THE CITY ACCORDING TO THE CITY'S CHARACTER THAT EVERYBODY ELECTED US -- WANTED US TO DO, AND THE STATE HAS TIED OUR HANDS IN MANY WAYS, AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS ONE OF THEM AND IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING FOR US AS WELL BUT I'LL GET OFF MY SOAP BOX. ALRIGHT, I GUESS WE'RE ON TO DELIBERATIONS OR DISCUSSIONS? MS. WILLIAMS? >> I MEAN, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE AUDIENCE, I THINK WE SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU SAID IT AT THE BEGINNING BUT THEY CAME UP AND YOU FEEL AS THE CITY MANAGER, THE PERSON WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE, YOU FEEL THIS IS A VERY FAIR OFFER. >> YES, AS PART OF THE PROCESS, THE ONE THING WE HAVE DISCRETION ON WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT OUR HANDS BEING TIED, THE ONE THING WE HAVE DISCRETION ON IS PRICE AND WHAT'S FAIR MARKET VALUE AND WHAT'S NOT AND I THINK THE YELLOW ROOF FOUNDATION HAS PRESENTED THEIR CASE FOR THEIR OFFER OF 300 THOUSAND, WE'VE LOOKED AT MARKET RATE AND WHAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY GET, THAT'S A POTENTIAL, IT DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE ANY OFFERS, WE WEREN'T EVEN AT A POSITION TO MOVE ON FROM THE YELLOW ROOF FOUNDATION PROPOSAL, BUT IN MY ANALYSIS AND MY RECOMMENDATION DIRECTED TO THE COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE WE TRY TO LOOK FOR COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHEN WE SELL PARCELS ASK WE TRY TO DO WHAT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND WE DO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH HOUSING IN THE CITY, WE DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MARKET RATE HOUSING OR AN ISSUE WITH MODERATE AND ABOVE MODERATE HOUSE, PLENTY OF THAT IS BEING CONSTRUCTED BUT WE DO NOT PROVIDE AS MUCH LOWER INCOME HOUSING AT THE 80% OF THE MEDIAN INCOME OR BELOW, THE WAY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SATISFY THAT OVER THE YEARS HAS BEEN APARTMENTS AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF DEED RESTRICTED AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS FOR BOTH FAMILIES AND SENIORS, THIS WOULD BE REALLY SOMETHING NEW THE CITY HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO OFFER, PART OF THE PROBLEM IS COMMUNITIES HAVE WHAT'S CALLED INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCES WHERE THEY REQUIRE X PERCENTAGE, USUALLY MINIMUM 15% OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS TO BE AFFORDABLE AND THESE TYPES OF PRODUCTS ARE INTERMINGLED THROUGH THOSE DEVELOPMENTS SO YOU REALLY CAN'T TELL DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHAT'S A DEED RESTRICTED UNIT AND NOT, OUR CITY DOESN'T HAVE THAT LUX SURE RI, WE ASSOCIATE A BACKLOG OF BELTED UNITS THAT WOULD BE HARD TO IMPLEMENT AN ORDINANCE TO BE EFFECTIVE BUT IN THIS INSTANCE, WE CAN GENERATE THREE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE DEED RESTRICTED FOR 55 YEARS AND MANAGED BY A WELL RESPECTED HOUSING DEVELOPER IN THE REGION, SO FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I FEEL THE OFFER'S FAIR AND I FEEL LIKE THE PROJECT IS A BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. >> AND JUST ONE MORE FOLLOW-UP BECAUSE WE HEARD ABOUT HOME VALUES AND ALL OF THAT, SO WHEN APPRAISALS ARE HAPPENING, THEY DON'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE RAW LOT, SO THOSE LOTS SELLING FOR THAT AMOUNT IS NOT GOING TO BRING DOWN THE VALUE, IT'S ONCE THE HOUSE IS BUILT, THAT'S WHERE THE APPRAISAL COMES IN, THAT'S WHERE THE VALUE FOR HOMES ALL COME IN, CORRECT? >> ONCE THE HOUSE IS CONSTRUCTED, YES, THE COUNTY WILL ASSESS BOTH THE LAND AND THE IMPROVEMENT VALUE AND I WOULD EXPECT THAT TO BE EXACTLY WHAT THE OTHER HOMES ARE APPRAISING FOR IN THAT AREA IF NOT MORE, USUALLY NEW CONSTRUCTION IS AT A HIGHER VALUE THAN EXISTING STOCK. >> AND THEN LAST ONE, SO, SAY WE DIDN'T PROCEED WITH THIS AND THE CITY BUILT THREE HOUSES AND WE SOLD THE HOUSES ON OUR OWN, THEN THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT IT COULD BECOME A LANDLORD, SECTION 8 IS LEGAL IN EVERY SINGLE RESIDENCE IN CALIFORNIA, WE HAVE TO ACCEPT SECTION 8, SO, THAT COULD STILL BE A POSSIBLE THAT THERE'S SOME INCOME RESTRICTIONS WITHOUT HAVING THIS NON-PROFIT WHO'S GOING TO TAKE ALL THE WORK OFF AND MANAGE IT FOR THE CITY AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS POLLED TO THE LETTER OF THE LAW, CORRECT? >> SURE, THAT IS A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY. >> OKAY, THANKS. >> MR. FULLER? >> YES, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN, I THINK THIS IS A VERY SOLID PROJECT, IT'S INCLUSIONARY HOUSE, I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES FROM THIS DAIS THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO PUT -- AT LEAST IF I HAVE ANY SAY ABOUT IT, PEOPLE OFFER AGO SEPARATE AREA ALL BY THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY AREN'T THE RIGHT PEOPLE, I WANT PEOPLE INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY AND THAT IF THEY HAVE A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BE DIGNIFIED AND COME HOME AND HAVE A GOOD PLACE TO BE AND YOU CAN SEE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DIFFICULTIES PROBABLY BUT WE HAVE A SOLID POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT CAN DEAL WITH IT, SO I AM VERY PLEASED TO SEE IT HERE AND I DON'T FEEL THAT WE HAVE ANY APOLOGIES TO MAKE AND WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD. >> MR. MEADOWS? >> I AM SUPPORTIVE OF THE SALE TO YELLOW ROOF AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IN THE BACK ABOUT VALUES, IN MY OPINION, YOUR VALUES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY THESE THREE UNITS. >> AND HE HAS BACKGROUND IF REAL ESTATE, HE'S NOT JUST SAYING THAT. >> ALRIGHT, YEAH, IN GENERAL, BIG PICTURE, I'M MUCH NOR FAVOR OF THESE PRIVATE PROGRAMS FOR THIS RATHER THAN THESE BIG UNACCOUNTABLE BUREAUCRATIC GOVERNMENT ONES, I LIKE THIS PROJECT MUCH MORE THAN I LIKE THE FOUR STORY WE HAVE BEHIND THE RALEY'S, IT FITS MORE INTO THE CHARACTER WHEN I CHOSE TO MOVE MY FAMILY HERE, THE HOMES DON'T LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE HOMES OUT THERE BUT THAT WAS A DIFFERENT DECADE WHEN THEY WERE BUILT BUT THEY LOOK LIKE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, YOU CAN BARELY TELL THAT THOSE STAIRS GO UP TO THAT UPSTAIRS UNIT, SO CONCEPTUALLY, I LIKE THE IDEA OF THIS BETTER, AGAIN, I SAID EARLIER AND OUR HANDS ARE SOMEWHAT TIED, IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE STATE LAWS THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING, YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR STATE ELECTEDS, AND LET THEM KNOW THEY NEED CHANGING BECAUSE WE ARE DOING THAT FROM OUR SIDE THROUGH THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES AND OTHER WAYS, BUT YOU G
