>> SO HERE IS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR FIRE DISTRICT. WE SPAN FROM DISCOVERY BAY IN THE EAST TO SAN PABLO IN THE WEST. OUR DISTRICT STARTED ITS FORMATION IN 1964 AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO GROW SINCE THEN. OUR LATEST EXPANSION WAS IN MARCH WITH THE CONTRACT FOR SERVICES WITH CITY OF PANOLA. WITH THAT EXPANSION, WE REOPENED STATION 74 WHICH HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR NEARLY A DECADE. WE NOW STAFF 34 STATIONS WITH 40 CREWS ACROSS THE COUNTY. THIS IS UP 3 CREWS FROM WHAT I REPORTED LAST MARCH. WE HAVE ADDED A TRUCK TO STATION 81 IN ANTIOCH. WE HAVE DEDICATED RESCUE NOW IN BAYPOINT AT STATION 86. AND WE NOW STAFF A WATER TENDER RIGHT HERE IN OAKLEY AT STATION 95. WE HAVE OVER 500 EMPLOYEES AND MORE THAN 250 SPECIALIZED VEHICLES. HERE IN OAKLEY, WE STAFF 2 FIRE STATIONS, STATION 93 JUST DOWN THE STREET WITH ONE CREW AND WE ALSO HAVE STATION 95 WITH ONE FULL CREW AND THEN WE DO NOW HAVE THAT WATER TENDER OPERATOR THIS IS OUR SPRING UPDATE. THIS IS WHAT I COVERED IN MARCH. WE'VE REPORTED THAT WE COMPLETED THE ANNEXATION OF EAST COUNTY AND WE ADDED PARAMEDIC SERVICES. TO ALL THE STATIONS OUT EAST. AGAIN, WE NOW SERVE THE CITIZENS OF PANOLA. CREW 12 IS STAFFED YEAR-ROUND. THAT'S OUR HAND CREW. MEASURE X FUNDS WERE USED TO START THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PROJECTS. WE REOPENED 3 FIRE STATIONS AND WE HAVE CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR THEE NEW FIRE STATIONS AS WELL. THE MEASURE X FUNDS ALSO ALLOWED US TO EXPAND OUR CREWS OUT IN THE STATIONS. THEY DID HELP FUND THAT RESCUE STATION. AND WE DID EXPAND OUR K-9 PROGRAM TO INCLUDE BAXTER, THE NEW K-9. SO WHAT'S NEW SINCE THEN? WE HAVE THE FIRST EVER OFFICIAL FIRE CHAPLAIN. HE ACTUALLY HAS BEEN AROUND THE AREA FOR QUITE AWHILE. AND WE HAVE USED HIS SERVICES UP TO THIS POINT, BUT HE IS NOW OFFICIAL, HAS A BADGE, AND HE HAS A PRETTY BIG ROLE IN OUR DEPARTMENT. WE ALSO HAVE A NEW TRANSPORT BUS FOR OUR HAND CREW, CREW 12. WE CALL IT A BUGGY. WE HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE PROMOTIONS TO BOTH ENGINEER AND CAPTAIN. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. WE HAVE ALSO ISSUED A FEW 20-PLUS YEAR SERVICE AWARDS. WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR TOWN HALL MEETINGS AND PRESENTATIONS LIKE THIS ONE. WE HAD ONE OF OUR ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEFS, CHIEF PETER DEPLOYED TO MAUI ON A FEMA MISSION. HE CAME BACK WITH SOME PRETTY AMAZING STORIES. WE DID HAVE OUR ANNUAL MATT AND SCOTT MEMORIAL SERVICE AND OUR ANNUAL FIRE FIGHTER MEMORIAL SERVICE ON SEPT 11TH AT STATION 11 IN CLAYTON. OKAY, SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CALLS IN OAKLEY. AND AGAIN, IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE. SO I HAVE A BIGGER VERSION AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU GUYS CAN'T SEE IT. THESE CALLS AND THESE NUMBERS ARE FOR OUR CALLS IN SEPTEMBER. WE HAD A TOTAL OF 373 CALLS FOR SERVICE IN THE CITY. THE BOTTOM GRAPH SHOWS WHAT OUR NUMBERS HAVE BEEN OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, 36 MONTHS. THEY RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 221 CALLS TO 397 CALLS PER MONTH. THAT'S AN AVERAGE OF 12 CALLS PER DAY WHICH WAS SPREAD OUT BETWEEN THE TWO STATIONS AND THEN NEIGHBORING STATIONS WHEN THEY NEED TO COME IN TO COVER. IF YOU TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE EMS CALLS, THEY ARE THE MOST COMMON, OF COURSE. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE CASE FOR MOST FIRE SERVICES. WE HAVE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL DATA POINT WHICH INCLUDES OUR NEW BLS AMBULANCE ONLY RESPONSES. WE'LL GO OVER THAT A LITTLE CLOSER ON THE NEXT SLIDE. >> SO THIS IS A BREAKDOWN OF OUR ANNUAL CALLS. ALSO HAVE WHAT IS NOW CALLED RESPONSE AMBULANCE RESPONSE TO THESE CALLS. WE DO HAVE A FEW MATURE RESPONSES WITH AN ENGINE . BUT SPECIFICALLY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ON THE SLIDE IS JUST THE EMBLEMS ON CALLS . THE REASON WHY WE EXPANDED THIS SERVICE FOR AMBULANCES AS YOU KNOW , WE ARE HAVING A PRETTY BIG SHORTAGE OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS, NOT ALL OF THE HOSPITALS BY THE SERVICE. WE HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND FOR PARAMEDICS, AND IN ORDER TO STAFF AND BALANCES REQUIRE ONE PARAMEDIC. IT'S ABOUT HAVING THE AMBULANCE, THAT MEANS IT IS STAFFED WITH A LOCAL EMS AUTHORITY THAT CAN IDENTIFY YOUR STUDY AND IDENTIFY CERTAIN COAL TYPES, WHERE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR AN EMT TO PROVIDE CARE WAS APPROPRIATE. AND ALLOWS US TO DO STAFF OF QUITE A FEW ADDITIONAL INFLUENCES. WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT LEAVES THE BLS AND BLITZES AVAILABLE FOR THE CALLS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE CHART, IT SHOWS WHAT WE GOT WITH ENGLAND'S CALLS , GOT THE SIX 5150 PD REQUEST, FIVE OR ALS ONLY. 10 OR BLS ONLY, AND THAT NUMBER IS GOING TO INCREASE QUITE A BIT NEXT MONTH, BECAUSE WE WILL START WITH THIS BLS RESPONSE. FOUR EMS STANDBYS , A GRAND TOTAL OF 50 AMBULANCE IS PENCIL, GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE , THE 307 THREE CALLS FOR SERVICE, 58 MORE FOR EMBLEMS ONLY, AND THE REMAINDER WERE AGENTS. THAT INCLUDES THE EMS SECTION. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS SPECIFIC TO THE EMS? SMACK ANY CONSEQUENCES? VICE MAYOR WILLIAMS? >> SORRY FOR THE LAYMAN HERE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT BLS, EMS OF IN TWO IS BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS. >> SO BLS IS EMT AND ANOTHER CANTEEN, AND ALS IS EMT WITH A PARAMEDIC. THE LEVEL OF SERVICE. WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE BREAKOUT OF CALLS, WHICH WE DON'T USE OUR EMS OR THE EMS OPCODE TO SINCE THE 19, THIS WOULD JUST CALLS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED TO HAVE A BLS ONLY. SINCE THE 19th CHANGED QUITE A FEW THINGS, AND A CASSETTE , IT HAS HAD A REALLY BIG IMPACT ON OUR ABILITY TO GET A GLANCE TO THE SCENE OF CALLS MUCH QUICKER. >> COUNCIL MEMBER FULLER? >> IN MY PERSPECTIVE, IT LOOKS LIKE OVER THE 36 MONTH CALL VOLUME THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN CALLS. IS THAT BECAUSE OF FIRE PREVENTION OR? WHAT ATTRIBUTES THE DROP IN CALLS? OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD. >> SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE OVERALL CALLS, WHICH INCLUDES FIRES , RESCUES, VEHICLE ACCIDENTS , THOSE CALLS HAVE STRAYED RELATIVELY STABLE. 221 CALLS , 397. WE DO HAVE SOME SEASONAL CHANGE BASED ON FLU SEASON. IN THE WINTER MONTHS. BUT I THINK IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO IS THOSE AMULETS ONLY CALLS. >> THESE ARE EVIDENCE ONLY CALLS FOR THE CITY OF OAKLAND CALLS PERSPECTIVE CORRECT. SMACK RIGHT. SO, WE HAVE HAD A SHORTAGE OF IMPULSES RECENTLY, AND A LOT OF THE CALLS FOR SERVICE ENDED UP WITH A RESPONSE THAT INCLUDED THE ENGINE , BECAUSE THE AMULETS WERE DELAYED SO YOU SEE A DECREASE IN EVIDENCE ONLY CALLS BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD A DECREASE IN EPAULETS AVAILABILITY. BUT AS I SAID , IT HAS TO DO WITH THE BLS TO RESPONSE MODEL, AND OUR COMPLIANCE NUMBERS CHANGED RADICALLY IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. >> IN QUEUE. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> OKAY, SO WE WILL MOVE TO THE WILDFIRE THREAT. WE REALLY EXPECTED TO SEE MORE FIRE ACTIVITY IN THE SUMMER THAN WHAT ACTUALLY OCCURRED. WE ARE CURRENTLY TRANSITIONING TO THE FALL /WINTER AND PATTERNS. AS YOU KNOW THE FIRE SEASON TENDS TO BE YEAR-ROUND IN THIS AREA. AND WE DID JUST RECENTLY HAVE A COUPLE OF SIGNIFICANT WILDFIRES THE PAST FEW WEEKS. THE MAP IN THE SLIDE SHOWS THE WILDFIRE HAZARD SEVERITY SHOWN. IT ONLY RATES THE STATE RESPONSE AREA , THE CITY VOCAL IS THE STATE 'S POSSIBILITY AREAS, SO IT IS NOT RATED. THERE ALSO WERE AREAS IN THE COUNTY WHICH ARE SHOWN IN RED WITH INCREASED THREAT. NO AREA OF THE COUNTY IS IMMUNE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF WILDFIRE IMPACTS. IF IT WISHES SMOKE, OR ASH , THE FIRE TOLD THE TEMPERED OAKLEY IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE MINIMAL THREAT. THE CLOSEST THREAT THAT IS CONSIDERED CONSIDERABLE WOULD BE TO THE SOUTH . YOU CAN SEE THAT BY THE MAP. THERE IS A QR LINK , IF YOU WANTED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK TO SEE THE ZONES, AS I SAID IN PAST MARCH THIS MAP WAS CHANGED, THEY EXPANDED THE SEVERITY ZONES AND INCREASE THE THREAT. SO THAT IS THE QR CODE IF YOU WANTED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT. AS FAR AS WHAT WE HAVE FOR FIRE SAFETY FOR RESIDENTS, WE HAVE SEVERAL TOOLS AVAILABLE TO EXPLAIN DIFFERENT RISKS IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHICH INCLUDES CHECKLISTS, WHICH IN CAN HELP CITIZENS PREPARE FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS. LOOKS LIKE , THESE TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE BY USING A QR CODE, OR YOU CAN ACCESS >> ANY COUNSEL QUESTIONS? SAY NONE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. AND I DON'T 1.4 PRESENTATION BY GARY PARKHURST, MOUNT DIABLO INTERPRETIVE ASSOCIATION REGARDING THE MITCHELL CANYON EDUCATIONAL CENTER. >> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY , MR. MAYOR, THANK YOU. CITY COUNCIL, FOR THE TIME YOU'RE GETTING ME TO SHARE OUR VISION OF THE MITCHELL CANYON EDUCATION CENTER BUT AS A PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN IN FOR MINUTES AND LOCAL. DIABLO INTERPRETER SHOWS THE LEADING CAMPAIGN TRANSITION FROM THE MITCHELL CANYON VACATION CENTER TO THE MITCHELL CANYON OF THE BIDDERS VISITOR CENTER TO THE MITCHELL CANYON OF THE CANYON. MY NAME IS GARY PARKHURST, IMA MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION AND MITCHELL CANYON VISITOR CENTER. BEFORE I GET STARTED, I ALWAYS LIKED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANCESTRAL HOME OF FIVE INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS. CONFEDERATE VILLAGES TAKE TIME TO DISMEMBER. SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEX AROUND MBIA. MBIA IS A COOPERATING AGENCY , ESSENTIALLY THAT MEANS WE WORK WITH THE PARK TO ENLIGHTEN AND EDUCATE VISITORS ON HOW TO USE AND ENJOY MOUNT DIABLO. FROM RAY RAY OF , FUNDING ARRAY THAT INCLUDES EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS , FOSTER THE APPRECIATION YOU ARE AN ALL VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION , AND IN 2020 OUR BOARD TOOK A LOOK AT THE SYNOD VISITOR CENTER. HAVE ANY OF YOU BEEN TO MITCHELL CANYON BEFORE? YOU WILL SEE OUR VISITOR CENTER IN COUPLE OF MINUTES, AND 20 THEY TOOK A LOOK AT DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS FEASIBLE LOOK A NEW VISITOR CENTER IN THE EDUCATION CENTER. PENETRABLE APPROVAL IS MADE, AND WE BEGAN OUR JURY --THERE WE GO. TOWARDS THAT. PRESERVATION EDUCATION , THAT IS OUR MISSION. THAT IS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT IS HOW WE ENSURE THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS ENJOY WHAT WE CALL GAZE AT EVERY YEAR, EVERY DAY. BEAUTY, HISTORY , AND MYSTERY OF MOUNT DIABLO. SO WE ARE NOW IN YOU UNIQUE POSITION TO NOT ONLY EXPAND MOUNT DIABLO'S EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE , BUT TO HAVE A MORE PROFOUND AND LASTING POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY. AS WE TRANSITION TO EDUCATION CENTER. MITCHELL CANYON GETS CLOSE TO 34 TO 35,000 VISITORS PER YEAR FOR THE EDUCATION CENTER WILL INCREASE THAT ANCHOR OUR ESTIMATES. THEY COME TO THE PARK , TO THE EDUCATION, TO THE VISITORS CENTER FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. THEY COME TO HIKE, AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF HIKES FROM VERY DIFFICULT TO VERY EASY. MOUNTAIN BIKING TRAILS, RUNNING TRAILS. I WAS WORKING THIS PAST SATURDAY AND THREE GROUPS RAN TO THE SUMMIT AND BACK. 3200 FEET ELEVATION I HAD SEVERAL FAMILIES TAKING ON THE PIPE THAT WE HAVE. A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT BUTTERFLIES, TARANTULAS. PEAK EXPIRATION, THERE IS A LOT TO DO IN MITCHELL CANYON, AND IF WE CAN VISITORS FROM ALL OVER THIS PAST SATURDAY I HAD VISITORS FROM SAN JOSE, PENINSULA , SOLANO OF COURSE ALAMEDA COUNTIES. SO, THIS IS OUR CURRENT VISITOR CENTER. I LIKE TO SAY IT IS A TEMPORARY AIR QUOTES 19-YEAR-OLD FACILITY. IT IS ONLY 400 SQUARE FEET. IT DOES HAVE A RENT, SINCE TECHNICALLY 88. HE PUT A WHEELCHAIR IN THEIR , THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, CERTAINLY ROOM FOR CLASS. SO WHAT IS MISSING FROM OUR LITTLE 400 FOOT TRAILERS? TEMPORARILY PUT IN PLACE 19 YEARS AGO. WILL FIRST OF ALL, LARGER OF THE WORST THINGS. PART OF ME, LARGER INDOOR SPACE. INDOOR SPACE TO ALLOW US TO HAVE STATIONARY AND ROTATING EXHIBITS THAT MEET THE DISABILITY GUIDELINES AND SPEAK TO THE DIVERSE NATURES OF OUR VISITORS. AND TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THE FIRST TIME SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS. TODAY , SCHOOL BUSES CAN ACCESS MOUNT DIABLO BECAUSE THE ROADS ARE TOO WIDE. IF YOU ARE EVER AT NORTHGATE OR SOUTHGATE, BUT THE NEW EDUCATION CENTER WOULD ALLOW SCHOOLBUS FIELD TRIPS. A VISUAL CONNECTION WITH OUR NATIVE PLANT GARDEN. I WILL NOT GO INTO A LOT OF DETAIL ON THAT, BUT IF ANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN TO MITCHELL CANYON, WOULD BEST TO IF YOU HAD EVER KNOWN THERE WAS A NATIVE GARDEN, IN THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE SAID NO BECAUSE IT IS BEHIND THE TRAILER, AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE NEW EDUCATION CENTER WILL RING A PHYSICAL CONNECTION WITH THE GARDEN. A LARGE COVERED OUTDOOR SPACE , BECAUSE TODAY THERE IS NO PLACE FOR GROUPS TO ME. WE GET MANY GROUPS EVERY WEEKEND FROM ACROSS THE BAY AREA. BUT THERE IS NO PLACE TO MAKE. SO MEET IN THE PARKING LOT, ON THE GRAVEL , THERE'S NO PLACE TO REST YOU GET BACK, THERE'S NO PLACE TO EDUCATE YOU IF YOU'RE VISITING MITCHELL CANYON ON THE WEEKDAYS. BUT IF YOU DECIDE TO HIKE MONDAY TO FRIDAY, THERE'S NOTHING THERE TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN SEE. THE PAVILION FROM OUTER SPACE WOULD BE BASICALLY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. SO, LET ME SHARE WITH YOU OUR VISION OF EDUCATION CENTER. THE NEW EDUCATION CENTER WILL BE A 1500 SQUARE FOOT A.D.A. COMPLIANT FACILITY , AND AN OUTDOOR PAVILION WITH A SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED ACCESS TO THE STATE PART FOR PEOPLE OF ALL BACKGROUND AND ALL ABILITIES, PARTICULARLY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE NEW EDUCATION CENTER WILL FOCUS , WOULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO ACCOMMODATE SCHOOL TRIPS AND SCHOOL BUSES FOR THE FIRST TIMES, THE CENTER WILL PROVIDE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR EDUCATION , AS WELL AS NATURAL HISTORY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. THE INDOOR FACILITY WILL FEATURE STATE OF THE ART DISPLAYS AND HIGHLIGHT PLANT AND ANIMAL DIVERSITY FOUND ON MOUNT DIABLO. IT WILL AS WELL AS HISTORIC AND CURRENT RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. THE MEDIA ROOM FOR CLASSES AND ROTATING EXHIBITS. THE INTERIOR WILL FEATURE STATE OF THE ART DISPLAYS. AND AS I MENTIONED IN BOTH ROTATING AND STATIONARY EXHIBITS. THAT IS A VIEW OF THE PILLION, THE COVERED PLANS WOULD CREATE A SPACE FOR GROUPS TO ASSEMBLE FOR VISITOR ACCESS TO A LISTENERS CLOSE. THEY WILL GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY WILL SEE AS THEY GET READY TO HEAD OUT ON THEIR ACTIVITIES. THE DESIGN OF THE PLAZA WHERE THE SCHOOL BUSES WILL BE ABLE TO PULL UP RIGHT ON THE OF THE PAVILION. EMANATED GARDEN FOR FLORAL IN BOTANY. I WOULD LIKE SAY THINGS YOU'D WALK TO THE PLACARD BEFORE YOU GOT ON YOUR HEIGHT OR YOUR ACTIVITY, THERE'S A CHANCE FOR CC YOU'RE GOING TO SEE BEFORE YOU SEE IT. BECAUSE THERE'S ANYTHING THERE IS IN THE NATIVE PLANT GARDEN THAT IS ON THE MOUNTAIN. THIS IS NOT THE MOST INTERESTING OR EXCITING SLIDE C BUT IT IS A REALLY IMPORTANT ONE. BECAUSE WHAT IT DOES IS IT DEMONSTRATES THE PATIENT CENTER WOULD BE BILLED AS A MODEL FOR AN ENERGY EFFICIENT ENVIRONMENT FACILITY FOR URBAN WILDFIRE. ALL THE MATERIALS WE LOCATED AND SUPPLIED LOCALLY, AND TRAVAILING WINS TO CALL THE FACILITY, AND SUDDENLY TO LIGHT THE FACILITY. THERE WE GO, SO THAT IS IT, THAT IS MITCHELL CANYON EDUCATION CENTER. QUESTION THAT I HAVE FOR ALL ABUSE HOW CAN YOU HELP US. THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS YOU CAN DO IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED, AND IF THIS PROJECT RESONATES WITH YOU. FIRST OF ALL, TO SUPPORT FOR US AS WE PURSUE GRANT REQUESTS TO HAVE CITY ENDORSEMENTS. SO TO THE DEGREE THAT THIS PROJECT RESONATES WITH THE COUNSEL, I WOULD ASK IF YOU COULD PROVIDE US WITH THE ENDORSEMENT FOR THE MITCHELL CANYON EDUCATION CENTER. YOU CAN ALSO HELP US WORK THE NEWSLETTERS AND WEBSITES, THE SOCIAL MEDIA. SOMEBODY MAY KNOW PEOPLE WHO THAT PROJECT WOULD RESONATE WITH. IF YOU NOTICE COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THEM WITH ME, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU DO THAT. PERSONALLY , IF THIS PROJECTS RESONATES WITH ANYONE AND IS LISTENING TO ME, YOU CAN JOIN OUR MAILING LIST, AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE IN THIS RESONATES WITH YOU WITH WHAT WE'RE TAUGHT TO DO, YOU CAN DO THAT ALSO. AT MBIA.ORG. SUFFERS TODAY , FIRST OF ALL LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE TIME YOU HAVE GIVEN ME I WILL TELL YOU THAT IN THE FIRST 10 MONTHS OF OUR CAMPAIGN WE HAVE RAISED $1.85 MILLION TO VISIT A $6 MILLION BULL EXPECT TO GET A 2 MILLION BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. IT WAS 32% OF OUR $6 MILLION , IT IS A VERY SMALL, HARD-WORKING ALL VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION. SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, GARY, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION >> OH, GOD. >> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I SEE NONE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. AND WE WILL SEE YOU IN ABOUT A WEEK OR SO. ITEM TWO, PUBLIC COMMENTS.

HI, :12 MAYOR, COUNCIL , CITY MANAGER :15 McMURRAY AND STAFF. MY NAME IS :18 DON, I AM A RESIDENT LOCALLY :20 I LIVE HERE IN VINTAGE PARKWAY, AND I :22 JUST FIRST, I KNOW THAT AS COUNSEL YOU :24 GET A LOT OF :30 NEGATIVE THINGS THROWN :31 AT YOU, AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THROW :33 SOME POSITIVES AT YOU. :35 NUMBER ONE IS THE IMPROVEMENT IN LANDSCAPING :36 AND CABINETS ARE PARKWAY. :39 THE OVERPASS , WE :40 DON'T WANT TO IGNORE THAT THAT IS HAPPENING AND :42 WE APPRECIATED, AND UNDERSTAND :45 THE BUDGET CONSTRAINTS THERE. :48 AND THE ONLY OTHER THING :49 I HAVE IS THE CHAIRS. I AM PROBABLY ONE OF :51 THE MOST SET :54 AND CO-CHAIR PEOPLE IN THIS COUNCIL ROOM, AND IT'S WHAT TO SAY I APPRECIATE IT, BECAUSE MY BACK WAS KILLING MY BACK WAS KILLING ME WITH THOSE OLD CHAIRS. SO IT REALLY DOES IMPROVE MY LIFE, AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, DON. A LITTLE DIFFERENT MOMENT. ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS? ITEM THREE, CONSENT CALENDAR. ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO PULL? I HAVE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR? SEEING NONE. ANY ITEMS? IS THERE MOTION FOR APPROVAL? >> I WILL MOVE APPROVAL. >> IS THERE SECOND? >> SECOND. SPENT ALL IN FAVOR. >> I. SPEC OPPOSED? YOU OKAY, COUNSEL FOR FULLER? ITEM FOUR, PUBLIC HEARINGS. 4.1 , AMEND AND RESTATE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF OAKLEY TO JOIN THE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES AND FOR STRUCTURE PROGRAMS. >> ANYTHING, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, SO FOR TONIGHT IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON OUR SKIN PROGRAM , AND THE CITY HAS BEEN DISSIPATED IN THE SKIP PROGRAMS OF 2010. AND SINCE STARTING TO DISSIPATE, WE HAVE DONE SEVEN EXTRA BOND DISTANCES. IT ALLOWS OWNERS OF PROPERTIES TO FINANCE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FEES THROUGH A PULLED REVENUE ON FINANCING . AND TONIGHT'S REPORT IS JUST TO MODIFY THE PROGRAM TO ALLOW FINANCING THE FEES TO THE FORMATION OF THE CFD ADDITION TO WHAT WE ALREADY ALLOW, THIS ALLOWS FOR A BROADER RANGE OF FEES TO BE FINANCE AS WELL AS FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF ADJUSTING RENTS. I'M SORRY, RATES BASED ON PRODUCT TYPES. SO, BASICALLY IT ALLOWS DEVELOPERS TO APPLY THOSE RATES ACCORDING TO YOUR HOUSE SIZE VERSUS EQUALLY ACROSS THE BOARD. THE CITY IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE BONDS, OR FOR THE ASSESSMENT OR CFT'S. THE CSEA HANDLES ALL DISTRICT FORMATIONS , ADMINISTERS ALL BOND INITIATIVES. SO, WE ARE CONSCIOUS THE MIDDLEMAN TO MAKE SURE THAT IF IT IS AUDIT FOR IN A STRUCTURE WHERE THERE ARE OTHER LOOKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STRUCTURE IS NOT PUT IN, OBVIOUSLY BUT IS BOUND BONNIE FOR FEES, WE RECEIVED THOSE FEES AND SPEND THEM ON A PROJECT RELATED TO THIS FEES, THE TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES, WE WOULD HAVE A HAVE A TRAFFIC PROJECT WITHIN THREE YEARS OF RECEIVING THE BOND FUNDING. TO PAY FOR THAT. STAFF TIME IS MINIMAL, AND THE CITY CAN ALSO COLLECT AN ADMISSION FEE ON THE STAFF TIME THAT WE DO SPEND. ON ANY OF THE SKIP FUNDING. SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE AMEND THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY COUNCIL TO JOIN THE SKIP PROGRAM AND WE ALSO HAVE IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT, JAMES HAMEL, SO HE IS ABLE TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC OCEANS YOU MAY HAVE OF THE PROGRAM, OR I'M HERE TO ALSO ENTER PROGRAMS. WITH THAT , I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU. COUNSEL FOR FULLER? >> MY UNDERSTANDING THE RESIDENCE IN THOSE TWO AREAS USE THIS , THE FINANCE , ET CETERA IN THERE. AND NOW , THE RESIDENTS ARE PAYING THE ASSESSMENT THE TO, I GUESS IT IS GOING TO COME IS THAT WHAT? >> THE ASSESSMENT PHASE BASED ON THE BONDS, SO DOES NOT GO TO THE DEVELOPER, IT PAYS THE BOND, SO THAT WAS BONDED FOR PARENTS BECAUSE THAT SHOW UP ON THERE? >> ON THE PROPERTY TAX LIKE ANY OTHER ASSESSMENT WOULD, SIMILAR TO THE CFE , IT WOULD SEE IT ON THEIR PROPERTY TASKS. >> WE HAVE VERY INDUSTRIOUS PEOPLE , BUT SOME OF THEM CAN BE LAID OFF FROM SICKNESS OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE. AND KERRY MORTGAGES, ET CETERA WITH THE BANK THAT OCCURS THE BANK WILL PAY IT BUT THEY WILL BECOME LIABLE DURING THAT TIME UNTIL THEY ARE BACK AND PLAYED AGAIN. HOW'S THAT GOING TO AFFECT THAT PROGRAM WHEN YOU HAVE AN ASSESSMENT FROM THE DEVELOPER TO SHOW IF YOU ARE OFF OR NOT? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT HAS A RECOURSE ON THAT? IT'S AN ETHICAL HAVE JAMES COME UP FOR THAT ONE SPECIFICALLY. WE ARE, THE CITY IS NOT ON THE HOOK FOR THAT ASSESSMENT, THE DEVELOPER IS. SO, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES WHO BONDED FOR IT. BUT I WILL HAVE HIM ANSWER THAT SPECIFICALLY IF HE CAN. >>, JAMES HAMEL , I AM THE DIRECTOR WITH CSEA, SO THERE ARE INSTANCES OF THAT, AND THERE ARE TIMES THAT WE TURN TO WHAT WE CALL FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT WITH PROPERTY OWNER WE DO HAVE THAT IN CASES WHERE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR JOBS , THAT HAPPENS, SO THERE'S A FORBEARANCE WHERE THEY CAN PAY THAT OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. FOR THAT BOND THAT THE CHAIR WAS MENTIONING. >> I WILL SAY THAT THEY NEGOTIATE WITH YOU DIRECTLY FOR THE FORBEARANCE? SPIKE THEY DO NEGOTIATE DIRECTLY. >> THANK YOU. >> VICE MAYOR WILLIAMS? >> SO, SORT OF ALONG THE SAME LINES AS I QUESTION, SO THE DEVELOPER IS TECHNICALLY THE HOMEOWNER BEFORE THE HOMES ARE SOLD , SO THEY, I KNOW I READ IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT THE HOMEOWNERS VOTE FOR IT. BUT POTENTIALLY THESE ARE BONDED BEFORE ANYBODY HAS EVEN BOUGHT IN TO SPEC THAT IS CORRECT. >> OKAY, SO SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE WALKING INTO SITUATIONS , I THINK WE SHOULD HIGHLIGHT THAT IT HELPS TO KEEP THE INITIAL HOME PRICE LOW, LOWER, WHICH WAS HELD, BUT ON THE BACKEND, AND I THESE ASSESSMENTS , I LIVE IN AN OLD HOUSE HAVE ASSESSMENT, ARE THEY FOREVER? OR IS IT JUST UNTIL THE BOND IS PAID OFF. SO COULD BE FOREVER. I WANT TO SAY MOST OF THEM 30 YEARS. 30 YEARS. SPIKE OKAY. AND THEN HOW DOES IT WORK? IF THEY SELL THE HOUSE, THE NEW HOMEOWNER TAKES THE SAME. AND THEN I KNOW, WHILE THE CITY IS NOT ON THE HOOK, YOU SPECIFICALLY WITH EMERSON RANCH , WE CONSTANTLY HEAR ABOUT HOW WE ARE ASSESSING PEOPLE TO DEATH I WAS A RATHER REAL ESTATE AGENTS, IS A REAL ESTATE STOCK TO DISCLOSE THAT INFORMATION, BUT IS THERE ANYTHING AT THE CITY LEVEL THAT WE CAN DO TO ENSURE THAT , YOU KNOW, 15 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD RESIDENTS ARE NOT SAYING OH, THE CITY OF OAKLEY IS BLEEDING ME DRY WHEN REALLY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED TO THEM IN THE BEGINNING? >> YEAH. I MEAN WE CAN CONTROL WHAT IS DISCLOSED AND NOT DISCLOSED, I DO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IT IS DISCLOSED IN THE BEGINNING WHETHER OR NOT A HOMEOWNER UNDERSTANDS THAT, OR, I MEAN ABOUT UNCLE RIGHT , WE KEEP SIGNING UNTIL WE GET TO THE END, WHICH WE SHOULD NOT DO. BUT, I DO THINK THAT ANYBODY WHO WOULD KNOW WHAT TO CALL AND TALK TO US ABOUT IT, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE TWO ASSESSMENTS SO THAT WE COULD DEFINITELY TELL THEM HERE'S THE CITY ASSESSMENT VERSUS HERE IS THE ASSESSMENT THAT WE WERE PUT IN PLACE THAT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY , LIKE I WAS IN CONTROL OF HER BECAUSE WE ARE ACCEPTING RESOLUTIONS TO ALLOW IT, BUT IT IS NOT NECESSARILY OUR ASSESSMENT. >> ANY OTHER COUNSEL QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME OF THE PUBLIC HEARING. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? SEEING THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AT THIS TIME WILL HAVE COUNSEL DELIBERATION. COUNSEL FOR FULLER? >> MY CONCERN IS, AND I AM VERY ADAMANT ABOUT IT AS MULTIPLE NO, PUT I AM DOING IT AS A TAX. ANOTHER THE DEVELOPER IS NOT, AND IS PUTTING OUT THAT ALLOWS HIM TO BE SO , THE HOUSE SOLD AT A LOWER PRICE. AND COMES ABOUT. BUT NORMALLY THAT GOES INTO THE PURCHASE OF THE HOUSE. AND THE PERSON CAN GO GET THE MORTGAGE AND WORK THROUGH THAT, HOPEFULLY CARRYOVER AND ACCESS COLLECTIVE IN THOSE. BUT IN THIS CASE, WE ARE ATTACHING TAX TO IT, BECAUSE IT IS, WELL, IT'S MORE THAT YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE GOOD FOR SOME PEOPLE. IT IS , WE HAVE HAD GOOD RELATIONS WITH DEVELOPERS , TO SAY THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE DONE WELL, BUT I DO HEAR ALL THE TIME ABOUT THE HIGH TAXES , SUMMER LAKE , AND A FEW OF THE OTHERS. ONE OF THE REASONS IS IS BECAUSE OF THE ASSESSMENT , AND MOST OF THEM, I HEAR ABOUT OUR YOUNG FAMILIES , BUYING THEIR FIRST HOUSE, MOVING IN. WITH THEIR EYE ON THE DEVELOPER AND THE REAL ESTATE AGENT IN ALL OF THIS, AND I'M NOT SAYING THEY POTENTIALLY LIVE WITHOUT. BUT BEING NOT FULLY AWARE OF ALL OF THE INS AND OUTS OF PURCHASING, AND THEY RELY VERY HEAVILY ON THE REAL ESTATE, OFFICER, AND THE DEVELOPER , AND SOMETIMES THIS THAT , SOMETIMES HAVE A PROPERTY TAX WAY BEYOND WHAT THEY THOUGHT. SO THEY BOUGHT THE HOUSE. BECAUSE BACK IN THE DAY, FEW YEARS AGO, 300,000 , I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW , IT'S SKYROCKETED. THE COUNSELOR AT THE SCHOOL BOARDS AND OTHERS JUST THOUGHT, YEAH. IT IS JUST A STACK OF FREEDOM , AND LIBERTY BECAUSE I WANTED SO ON. WITH THESE FACILITIES. SO, I AM SKITTISH TO HOW I RUN. >> COUNSEL FOR SHAW? >> I AM IN ONE OF THE HOUNDS THAT HAVE RELIEF TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS , AND ALL THE EXTRA STUFF ATTACHED TO IT. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS GOING TO COME TO THE HOMEOWNER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, WITH THE DISTRIBUTORS, PRICE, OR THE ASSESSMENT. AND I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MY HOUSE THE PURCHASE PRICE. AND WHILE I AM IN THE SAME BOAT ABOUT PEOPLE , IT IS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PLAY . SO AS MUCH AS I FIND AGAINST TEXAS AND DID NOT WANT ANY ADDITIONAL , I WANT TO QUALIFY FOR A HOME, AND I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT. >> VICE MAYOR WILLIAMS? >> DO WE HAVE ANY STATISTICS ABOUT THE NUMBER OF --SORRY THIS IS A NETWORK , I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS, BUT DO WE HAVE ANY STATISTICS ABOUT HOW MANY HOMEOWNERS HAVE LIKE BENEFITED FROM THE ABILITY? LIKE HONESTLY, YOU KNOW, COUNCILMAN BASHAW, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE APPLIED FOR HERS IF SHE WAS IN THE PURCHASE PRICE. WE HAVE SOME SORT OF SENSE OF LIKE I MAY CONCERN IS THAT THE SUSPENDED PENDING THE RESIDENCE AND NOT BENEFITING DEVELOPERS. BECAUSE THAT IS WHO WE ARE HERE TO SERVE, IS THE RESIDENCE NOT NECESSARILY A DEVELOPER. SO I GUESS I JUST WANT TO KNOW, DO WE, DO WE HAVE SOME SORT OF SENSE OF HOW BENEFICIAL THIS PROGRAM IS SPECIFICALLY TO OAKLEY? >> I WOULD NOT HAPPEN TONIGHT. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TALK WITH THE TEAM AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT I HAVE THAT WE CAN PROVIDE BACK TO YOU. I DO NOT HAVE IT TODAY. >> I KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME. >> I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING. >> I MEAN, IT'S JUST I'VE SEEN FOR YEARS AND I DON'T HAVE STATISTICS, BUT BUT IN LIGHT OF THE SALES THAT I'VE SEEN COME THROUGH, PEOPLE ARE GETTING IN, JUST BARELY GETTING IN. THEY STRESSED TO GET INTO THE HOUSE THEY GET INTO. THEY DON'T TYPICALLY TIE DOWN, THEY BUY TO THE MAX. BY QUALIFYING ALONE. SO, YEAH, I WOULD SAY IF IT KEEPS THE PRICES LOWER, THEN YEAH, PROBABLY , PROBABLY BENEFIT. >> AND IS A MAXIMUM THAT CAN BE ASSESSED ONTO SOMEBODY? DO WE HAVE ANY , NOT THE CITY NECESSARILY, BUT IT IS A STATEWIDE PROGRAM, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE SHOULD BE LIKE, OKAY, YOU CANNOT LIKE IF THEY ARE BARELY QUALIFYING , BUT THEN THEY GET THERE ASSESSMENTS AND IS BRINGING THEIR MORTGAGE UP BY, YOU KNOW, $2000 A MONTH, LIKE IS THERE A CAP TO THAT? OR IS IT KIND OF AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT? >> I AM NOT GOING TO SPEAK AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, BUT RESELL, YOU KNOW WHAT THE TAXES ARE. >> SO THE MAX BY STATE LOST 2%. >> OKAY. >> HOWEVER, WE TYPICALLY GO OVER 1.7%, BECAUSE WE DON'T SELL THESE BONDS IN THE MARKETPLACE IF YOU GO TOO HIGH , THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SELL THE BECAUSE IT IS LEVERAGED TOO MUCH. >> COUNSEL NUMBER HENDERSON? >> I JUST WANT TO KIND OF REDIRECT WHERE I THINK WE ARE TONIGHT'S WE ARE ALREADY PART OF THIS PROGRAM, WE ARE DEPENDING ON THIS PROGRAM TO DO THE COLLECTIONS, SO WHAT WE ARE REALLY HERE TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT IS TO CONTINUE STAYING IN THE PROGRAM . AND SO, I HEAR WHAT EVERYBODY IS SAYING ABOUT THE TAXES AND THINGS, BUT JUST KIND OF BRING THIS BACK TO FOCUS WE ARE HERE FOR. >> COUNSEL FOR SHAW? >> IT IS STAYING IN THE PROGRAM BUT EXPANDING THEIR ABILITY, THEIR REACH ON WHAT THEY CAN INCLUDE IN THESE BONDS. SO IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A LITTLE HIGHER. THEN WHAT WE HAVE. SO, YES, WE ARE ON THE PROGRAM, I WAS DO WANT TO CLARIFY THAT IT IS GOING TO BE EXPENDING WHAT HE CAN INCLUDE IN THESE. >> ANY OTHER COUNSEL COMMENTS, DELIBERATION? IT SOUNDS LIKE MAJORITY OF THE COUNCILS IN FAVOR OF IT? IS THERE MOTION? >> I MOVED TO BE WRITTEN AS IN THE STAFF REPORT FOR THE >> I SECOND SPIKE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. >> I PATIENCE OPPOSED? >> NO. >> 4-1. >> ITEM 4.2 MASTER AMENDMENT. CAN. >> HI, GOOD EVENING. MAYORS OF THE CITY COUNCIL , I AM KENT STREET LOW PLANNING MANAGER FOR HER CITY VOCAL. TONIGHT WE HAVE A CONTINUED PROGRAM HEARING COLONISTS ON A MASTER AMENDMENT OF SEVERAL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS THAT ARE PART OF THE GRAND CYPRESS PRESERVE PROJECT LOCATED OUT IN EAST CYPRESS CORRIDOR SPECIFICALLY BUT OUT, WAY OUT EAST OAKLEY , EAST OF JERSEY ISLAND ROAD , NORTH AND SOUTH. OF EAST CYPRESS ROAD. THE REQUEST FOR THIS IS TO EXTEND THE TERM OF FACTOR FOR DEVELOPING AGREEMENTS FROM DECEMBER 13th OF 2025 TO DECEMBER 13th OF 2045. IT INCLUDES FOUR DIFFERENT PLANNING AREAS, WHAT IS KNOWN AS AREAS THAT WERE LAID OUT IN THE SPECIFIC PLAN THAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED. THREE OF THOSE PLANNING AREAS WERE MASTER-PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS, ONE OF THEM IS A SMALL PARCEL THAT IS PART OF THE CONGO GOVERNMENT OF DIFFERENT PROPERTY OWNERS , AND THAT IS THE ONE KNOWN AS AREA 6 H. AND JUST AT THE BACKGROUND FOR ALL OF THIS, ALL OF THESE PROJECTS THAT ARE PART OF THE MASTER AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS ARE PART OF AN APPROVED , THEY HAVE AN APPROVED TENTATIVE NOW , AND THEY HAVE AN EXISTING RELEVANT AGREEMENT. THIS SLIDE ALSO SHOWS TO SOME BACKGROUND ON THE SITE THE GENERAL PLANNING AND ZONING OF SPECIFIC PLANS. SO THE COUNSEL HAS BEEN PRESENTED WITH THIS PROJECT IN THE RECENT PAST . DRIZZLE WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO THE , RECOMMENDED THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE MASTER AMENDMENT . IT CAME TO THE COUNCIL AND WAS CONTINUED TO BE IN SEPTEMBER. AT THAT TIME, CAME BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND HAS CONTINUED TO A DATE UNCERTAIN. THE UNDERLYING REASON FOR THOSE CONTINUATIONS WAS TO ALLOW STAFF AND THE DEVELOPER MORE TIME TO WORK OUT DETAILS ON A DIFFERENT, ON A RELATED BUT SEPARATE AGREEMENT ON SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE CYPRESS CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN. TONIGHT THIS ITEM HAS BEEN RE-NOTICED ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 500 FEET OF THAT ENTIRE AREA, YOU SAW THE MAP, HAS BEEN PUBLISHED IN THE TIME SPENT THAT WAS ALSO DONE FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING FOR THIS ACCIDENT TURN. AND NOW COMES BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH ANOTHER PLANNING COMMISSION FOR APPROVAL. THIS INFORMATION AND MORE INFORMATION IS IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT THIS JUST SHOWS THAT A BRIEF GLIMPSE AT THE FIVE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT HAVE DEVELOPING AGREEMENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THIS MASTERMIND. WE ARTIE TALKED ABOUT THE TERM EXTENSION , THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER SECTION IN THE MASTER AMENDMENT THAT CLARIFIES THE CAPABILITY OF TWO, THREE OF THE MITIGATION MEASURES THAT WERE FOUND IN THE CYPRESS CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN EIR'S. AND THOSE ARE MOSTLY RELATED TO THE MOXLEY RIDGE, AND THIS CLARIFIES THAT UNITS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN SIMILAR SOUTH WHICH WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS UNDERWAY EVEN BEFORE THE CITY ANNEXED THIS LAND. IN FUTURE UNITS IN SUMMERLIKE NORTH. THEY WOULD NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE AGREEMENT COUNT TO BUILD THAT BRIDGE BUT THAT HAS BEEN CLARIFIED BY HER CITY ATTORNEY AND ALL STAFF ARE IN AGREEMENT ON THAT. THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF THE ANALYSIS HERE. MASTERMAN WAS CONSISTENT OF THE EAST CYPRESS CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN, THAT WILL ALLOW THESE PROJECTS MORE TIME TO GET WORKED OUT AND PEOPLE . IT WILL INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THIS PROJECT IS FEASIBLE. AND CAN CONTRIBUTE TO ITS FAIR SHARE IN ITS IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. IT IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE OAKLEY STRATEGIC PLAN 27+. THESE SUBELEMENTS , AT LEAST A COUPLE OF THEM ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR CYPRESS ROAD. OTHER DEVELOPERS ARE IMPORTANT FOR BETHEL ISLAND ROAD, AND IN MUCH OF THE OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE IN THIS AREA. THE PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION IS ATTACHED TO YOUR STAFF REPORT , AND WHEN RECOMMENDED THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THIS PROJECT. STATUS RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THIS PROJECT AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING , THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT ASKED THE DEVELOPER THE REASON FOR THE EXTENSION I'M HAPPY TO SUMMARIZE THAT REASON FOR YOU, THE DEVELOPER SEE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK THEM, BUT ESSENTIALLY THEY FEEL THE TENURE EXTENSION, WHICH WAS USUALLY REQUESTED MAY BE ENOUGH TIME, BUT WITH UNCERTAINTIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT MARKET, ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT WE HAVE GONE THROUGH OVER THE LAST THREE TO SEVEN YEARS , THEY WOULD LIKE THAT EXTRA TIME TO AVOID NEEDING TO COME BACK IF REQUESTING A DIFFERENT INITIAL TIME. THAT CONCLUDES MY STAFF, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, THANK YOU. >> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? >> I JUST WANT TO ASK THE QUESTIONS , SINCE OBVIOUSLY LIST OF ELEMENT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE CYPRESS ROAD. EXTENDING THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DOES NOT SAY THEY ARE PUTTING OFF ANY EAST CYPRESS ROAD IMPROVEMENTS UNTIL THE DEVELOPMENT BEGINS CORRECT? >> 100% CORRECT BUT DOES HAVE SOMETHING TO DO THIS BUT I AGREE. >> COUNCILMEMBER FULLER? >> THE ONE CONCERN THAT CAME TO MY MIND WHEN I WAS READING THIS IS WHERE PUTTING IT OUT , POSSIBLY TO 2045. I HAVE SAT IN HERE BEFORE ELECTION LAST NOVEMBER AND SAW THAT I THINK IT WAS THE LAST MEETING BEFORE THE ELECTION , HOW CAN I SAY, THE DESIGN FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE PLACE. THAT IS GREAT. WE WILL KEEP IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH UNTIL 2045? OR? I KNOW THERE IS A MENTION IN THERE FOR MULTI FAMILY RESIDENCE COULD BE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN. SO, THEY DO COME BACK SAY IN 20 33 , THE COUNCIL SITTING THERE IN THAT TIME. BE ABLE TO REVIEW THAT DESIGN AND APPROACH THE REGIONS FOR DIVORCE PERSPECTIVE FOR THESE PROJECTS, WE DON'T HAVE HOME DESIGN REVIEW . WE HAVE TENTATIVE MAPS WHICH WE LOOK AT CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPING AND ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN ANALYZED AND REVIEWED WITH THE CYPRESS CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN, CONCEPTUAL PLANS. SO THOSE APARTMENTS YOU SPEAK OF, OR ANY OF THE FUTURE HOUSES IN ANY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT WILL STILL, THEY STILL NEED TO COME FORWARD FOR THE DESIGN REVIEW. AND RECEIVE THOSE APPROVALS. SO WE DON'T HAVE THOSE LOCK IN YET, IF WE DID, THEY WOULD RUN WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, SO STAY AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS TIME. >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE COUNCIL? SEEING NONE. THIS TIME IT WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? YOU CAN COME AND ASK. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO, IT IS WITH AN EXTENSION , WILL THE DEVELOPERS BE HELD WITH THE CURRENT PERCENTAGE OF THE REQUIRED FOAM A HOUSING IN ELEMENTS, OR IF IT GOES UP, IN FUTURE YEARS , WILL THEY BE REQUIRED TO MAKE THAT A PERCENTAGE? THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, THROUGH THE MAYOR THIS PROJECT IS IRIS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY SORT OF WHAT WE WOULD CALL AND VISIONARY HOUSING, AND OTHER WORDS REQUIRING ANY BELOW-MARKET RATE HOUSING . IF THE DEVELOPERS A CHANCE TO SUBMIT SOME LIKE THAT IN THE FUTURE, WE WOULD HANDLE THAT APPLICATION AS NEED BE. AT THIS TIME THE CITY USES A SPECIAL ZONING OF THE DISTRICT AND IN THE FUTURE SPECIAL ZONE IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE WHAT WE WOULD CALL ORIGINAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT. PROVIDE LAND FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SO THAT IS A LONG ANSWER, SHORT ANSWER IS THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT MEETS THE RELEVANT. >> THANK YOU. ANY OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS? ACTUALLY, I SKIPPED, IS THERE ANY COMMENT BY THE APPLICANT TO >> EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'M A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEVELOPMENT ENTITY. AND WE CONCUR WITH THE STAFF ANALYSIS , WE APPRECIATE THE CONSIDERATION OF THE CITY COUNCIL FOR ALL THE GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP OF THE STAFFORD HAVE ANY PARTICULAR OTHER REMARKS OTHER THAN THAT, THANK YOU. >> AT THIS TIME WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CALL FOR DELIBERATION. THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? SEEING NONE. IS THERE , WOULD SOMEBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? >> I WILL MOVE. >> ALL IN FAVOR? >> I. >> OPPOSED. PASSES 5-0. OKAY, ITEM FIVE, REGULAR CALENDAR. ADOPT A SUPERSEDING AGREEMENT REGARDING THE REIMBURSEMENT FOR AND LIMITATION OF CONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTS RELATED TO THE GRAND CYPRESS PRESERVE PROJECT WITH A CD TI OAKLEY LLC. MR. McMURRAY. >> IT MAY EVENING MR. MAYOR , MADAM VICE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL NUMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, THIS ITEM COINCIDES WITH THE PREVIOUS ITEM IN THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE PROJECT AREA THAT WAS DISCUSSED BEFORE. SO THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE SINGLE LARGEST MASTER PLAN SUBDIVISION WITHIN THE CITY OF OAKLEY , AND IT IS CRITICAL TO OUR FUTURE EXPANSION AND ALSO CRITICAL TO PROVIDING MUCH-NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE FAR END , EAST END OF THE CITY. BACK IN APRIL OF 2022 , STAFF BROUGHT FORWARD A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT AND THE INTENT OF THE AGREEMENT WAS TO IMPLEMENT THE EAST CYPRESS CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN AND SPECIFICALLY THE TENTATIVE MAPS THAT WE WERE JUST DISCUSSING AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT EXTENSION. AND THAT REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WAS SPECIFICALLY AIMED TO ACCELERATE THE TIMING OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF EAST CYPRESS ROAD. BUT ULTIMATELY THAT REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FELL WITH THE BURDEN OF THE DEVELOPER TO CONSTRUCT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. AND IT WAS THROUGH DISCUSSIONS WITH THE DEVELOPER , WE CAME TO A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING THAT IF THE CITY WERE TO TAKE ON EAST CYPRESS ROAD IS A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT , WE COULD REALIZE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS MUCH SOONER THAN THE DEVELOPER WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONSTRUCT, SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD WITH THE DEVELOPER OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS TO COME UP WITH A SUPERSEDING AGREEMENT TO THAT APRIL 22 AGREEMENT TO MEMORIALIZE HOW WE MOVE THROUGH THE TRANSITION OF ACQUIRING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM THE DEVELOPER , WHICH STILL OWNS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY NECESSARY TO CONSTRUCT A CYPRESS ROAD BUILDOUT. AND ALSO HOW WE DEAL WITH THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT THAT WE ALREADY ENTERED INTO? IF SO WHAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS A SUPERSEDING AGREEMENT, AND ESSENTIALLY WILL TRANSITION ALL OF THE PLANS, PERMITS, AND APPROVALS OF THE DEVELOPER HAS SPECIFIC TO THE EAST CYPRESS ROAD IMPROVEMENT, THIS WOULD BE FROM THE CANAL TO BETHEL ISLAND ROAD . THE CITY WOULD TAKE CONTROL OF THOSE PLANS, WE WOULD HAVE A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS WHILE THE IRREVOCABLE OFFER DEDICATION TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY PLACE IN ESCROW, AND AT THE COMPLETION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS, COMPLETION OF THE CITIES WORK , WE WOULD THEN SEE THAT REVOCABLE OFFER THAT OCCASION, THAT WOULD BE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY. SO AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT AND THANK YOU TONIGHT, THERE ARE SEVERAL KEY POINTS THAT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT PART OF THE AGREEMENT STILL AFFORDS THE DEVELOPER TRAFFICKING IMPACT FEE CREDITS FOR CONSTRUCTION , JERSEY ISLAND ROAD, WHATEVER THAT IS CONSTRUCTED. IN THIS CREDIT TO BE APPLIED TO THE HOMES IN THAT SUBDIVISION. IT LOCKS IN THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES LATER TO TRAFFIC AND PUBLIC FACILITIES. TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES WALKED IN FOR A PERIOD , THESE FEES ARE FROZEN IN TIME FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS IN A SINGLE FAMILY RATE. I'M SORRY, 12 YEARS FOR SINGLE FAMILY RATE, AND TENURES FOR MULTI FAMILY RATE. IN A PUBLIC FACILITY FEE IS LOCKED IN FOR A 10 YEAR PERIOD. AT THE END OF THE PERIODS THEY ARE JUST UPWARDS FROM THE FEE THAT IS IN PLACE AT THAT TIME. WE WILL MOVE THE FEE UP 50%. AND THEN PAY THAT FEE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH IS 20 YEARS. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE MEDICATIONS, MEASURES DEALING WITH FAIR SHARE PAYMENTS TO THE COUNTY, THE DISAGREEMENT MEMORIALIZES HOW WE WILL SET EXCEPT PAYMENTS OF THE SPECIAL PAYMENTS, WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY BE TRANSITIONED AND PASSED THROUGH THROUGH THE COUNTY. IN ADDITION, THERE IS RECOGNITION THAT THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY TO RELIEVE OURSELVES OF SOME FUTURE REIMBURSEMENT MONEY IF WE ARE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE SECONDARY AXIS THAT RIGHT NOW IS FROM BETTELHEIM ROAD AND EXTENDS SOUTH OVER ROCK SLEEP RIDGE AND ULTIMATELY DELTA ROACH. WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES TO THAT BRIDGE ALIGNMENT THAT NO LONGER NECESSITATES A BRIDGE WILL BE ABLE TO TRAVERSE IN AN EVACUATION. THROUGH WHICH WOULD RELIEVE SOME OF THE OBLIGATION OF THE ENTIRE SPECIFIC PLAN. SO IN A NUTSHELL, THOSE ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT. I THINK WITH GOOGLE HERE IN MY OPINION AND STAFF'S OPINION WOULD LIKE TO CONVEY TO THE CITY COUNCIL IS THAT THIS WILL ALLOW US TO CONTROL OUR DESTINY WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF EAST CYPRESS ROAD. IN THE FIRST SEGMENT OF THAT ROADWAY HAS BEEN BUDGETED , AND IDENTIFIED IN OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. WE ARE IN CONSTANT VACATION AND CORONATION WITH THE CWD, BECAUSE THE FIRST PHASE WILL INVOLVE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROADWAY OVER THE CANAL CROSSING. AND ALTHOUGH IT IS A ROADWAY PROJECT, THERE'S ALSO CANAL UNDER GROUTING AND ENCASEMENT PROJECT, AND A LADY COMPARTMENT PIECE OF THE PROJECT. THAT WILL GO FIRST. AND WE ARE READY TO START CONSTRUCTION AS SOON AS WE ARE ABLE TO ATTEND THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY , I WOULD SAY THE CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT AND THE PLANS TO MOVE THEM FORWARD. BUT WE ARE READY TO START THAT WORK RIGHT AWAY, AND ULTIMATELY START CONSTRUCTION OF THE SECOND PHASE WOULD BE AFTER THE CANAL EAST, ONLY TO BETHLEHEM ROAD. THAT WOULD BE PRESENTED IN THE FISCAL YEAR 24 -25 PROJECT , AND ALSO A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. SO THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT, I WOULD LIKE TO, BEFORE I CLOSE POINT OUT ONE TYPO IN THE RESOLUTION OF THIS IS ON PAGE 120 OF YOUR AGENDA. THE FIRST WHERE AS REFERENCES APRIL 13th, 2023 , AND THAT SHOULD SAY APRIL 13th 2022 WHICH IS THE DATE THAT THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT WAS ENTERED INTO WITH THE DEVELOPER. SO WITH THAT, THAT INCLUDES A PRESENTATION , AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >> OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL? VICE MAYOR WILLIAMS? >> SO YOU SAID THAT , YOU KNOW, WE ARE READY TO BEGIN THE WORK AS SOON AS THAT, ALL THAT PROCESS GOES THROUGH. SO IF THIS , IF WE DO THIS AGREEMENT, HOW SOON CAN WE GET THAT? >> I WOULD SAY IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. PROBABLY TOWARDS THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR. WE HAVE THE ORDINANCE THAT WAS WAIVED AND INTRODUCED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT EXTENSION OF 4.2, IT STILL NEEDS TO WAIVE THE SECOND READING AND ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AND REMEMBER. AND THEN THERE IS A PERIOD OF TIME THAT WE HAVE TO REQUEST ITEMS FROM THE DEVELOPER THERE'S A PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE ITEMS. AND THEN WE HAVE TO BID THE WORK BEFORE WE CAN ACTUALLY START CONSTRUCTION TO DO SO, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT LIKE WORK TO DO, BUT WE ARE CLOSER THAN WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO STARTING WORK ON THAT SECTION. >> AND THEN I AM ASSUMING THAT WE DO START THAT SECTION OF THE ROADWAY, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF MEDICATION WITH RESIDENTS ABOUT HOW TO GET OUT. I MEAN I KNOW ANY PROJECT THAT HAPPENS OUT THERE WE GET LOTS OF FEEDBACK, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF INDICATION ABOUT ALL OF THE STUFF HAPPENING . OF COURSE, I THINK OF STUFF HAPPENING WITH THE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS, THINK IT IS CRITICAL THAT IT RETAINS TO PUBLIC OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHY WERE DOING IT, THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP PRIORITIES WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC IS VERY AWARE OF THE INVESTMENT, AND THE PRIORITY THE CITY COUNCIL HAS PLACED . >> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER COUNSEL QUESTIONS? COUNSELOR HARRIS. >> IN A ROUGH TIME OF CONCLUSION FOR CONSTRUCTION? >> THE AGREEMENT, IF WE SATISFY COMES UP EDITIONS WITH THIS THE CONSTRUCTION, I WOULD SAY THAT IS MORE THAN INTERESTING. >> EXCELLENT. ANY OTHER COUNSEL QUESTIONS? PUBLIC COMMENTS? SEEING THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. DO YOU , WE NEED TO MENTION SEQUEL DETERMINATION? >> IF YOU COULD, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> SEQUEL DETERMINATION WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT IS NOT THE PROJECT AS IT INVOLVED THE FUNDING FOR SECRET GUIDELINES. CALIFORNIA CODE OF RELATIONS TITLE 14 SECTION 15378 B 4 ON ENVIRONMENT ALL WITH THE PROJECTS TITLE IN THE PROCESS. >> IS THERE ANY COUNSEL DELIBERATION? CUSTOMER FILLER? STOMACH, SUCH AS WHAT TO MAKE A COMMENT ON WE WANT TO THANK THE DEVELOPER, ACD-TI . AND MR. McMURRAY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE , BRING ABOUT THE EXPANSION OF EAST CYPRESS. I WANT TO SAY THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IN OAKLEY. I AM HEARING OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER AGAIN, ESPECIALLY OUT IN THE MORE POPULATED, RICH AREAS, SAN FRANCISCO, BERKELEY AND SUCH, WE ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH. WHAT WE ARE. AND WE ARE DOING IT WITH PRIVATE CAPITAL. PRIVATE CAPITAL IS CONSIDER BUILDING A. WE ARE NOT DOING IT WITH PUBLIC FUNDS. WE ARE GETTING RESULTS, AND THIS IS WHAT IS HERE. CYPRESS WAS A DISASTER , ACD-TI SAT DOWN, YES, THE BACK-AND-FORTH OF ATTORNEYS RINGING THE BELL AND EVERYTHING. THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE WERE ABLE TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT TO HAVE AN EXPANSION. WE ALSO NEED TO MENTION OTHER, OTHER DEVELOPERS THAT WE WORK WELL WITH, I DON'T KNOW THEM ALL, BUT DE NOVO, THEY KNOW WHAT IS COMING, AND WAITING TO OPEN UP THEIR DEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF BETHEL ISLAND AND ESSENTIAL, OR CYPRESS. THEY HAD THEIR OWN BUILDERS REMEDY , WHICH DID NOT HAVE TO ABIDE BY BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES, BUT THEY BROUGHT IN THEIR OWN SOLUTION, WORKING WITH THE CITY TO HAVE 20% ABATED LOW AND VERY LOW RESIDENCE , WHAT I MEAN BY THAT, THEY WILL REMAIN THAT WAY FOR 50 YEARS. IF ANYBODY WANTS ANY MORE INFORMATION, I AM SURE MR. McMURRAY CAN SAY IT. BUT THAT IS THE TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP. THEY WERE BOUND BY THE BECAUSE OF WHAT THE LAWS WERE PASSED. BUT THEY HAVE TALKED TO US BEFORE, AND THEY COMMITTED IT TO THIS COMMUNITY. WE HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH MERITAGE, KB, TI, AND I KNOW I AM MISSING A FEW DEVELOPERS, BUT TO SAY WE ARE NOT DOING AND WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPERS TO DEVELOP THIS COMMUNITY WITH AVOIDABLE HOUSING THAT CAN INVITE ALL AND OF INCLUSIVE AREA IS , WHAT WE ARE DOING THAT. WE ARE DOING IT, WE ARE WORKING WITH THIS, REALLY HAVE TO THANK HIM FOR HIS KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE, AND THE MEMBERS ARE COMING IN HERE TO WORK TOGETHER TO FIND THESE TYPES OF SOLUTIONS PERSPECTIVE SHOPPERS STOMACH I SHOULD ALSO JUST WANT TO THANK THE HARD WORKERS, THERE WAS A LOT OF BACK-AND-FORTH , WHILE IT'S IN MY DISTRICT IS WITH THIS ENTIRE COUNSEL HAS BEEN VERY STRONG TO MAKE IT A PRIORITY. SO I DO APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK , AND EVERY THING THAT HAS GONE INTO ALLOWING US TO GET THIS STARTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AND FOR THOSE THAT ARE LISTENING OUT THERE IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD, IT IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, SO CONSTRUCTION. SO BEAR WITH US AND KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL OF THE RIGHT RESIDENCE IS OUT IN BETHEL LAKE. THIS IS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING SO, SO DO APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT HAS PUT IN. >> THIS ITEM WAS THE FIRST CALL ITEM ONCE I WAS SWORN IN. SO , IT'S BEEN A WHILE. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? IS THERE A MOTION? >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION OF ADOPTING ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WERE SAID IN THE SPIRIT OF >> I WILL SECOND. >> CAN WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE 2022? >> YES, WITH THE CHANGE IN THE DATE ON THE RESOLUTION. >> THANK YOU. >> ALL IN FAVOR? >> I. I. POST? 5-0. THANK YOU. ITEM 6 REPORT, 6.1 CITY MANAGER. >> GUESS, I WOULD LIKE TO JUST CALL ATTENTION, HAVE ATTACHED THE SEPTEMBER BUSINESS LICENSE LIST AS NEW BUSINESSES THAT HAS OPENED UP A SHOP HERE IN OAKLEY, EITHER BRICK-AND-MORTAR OR BASED HIGHLIGHT THOSE EASEMENTS. FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE STAFF THAT WORK TO BRING OKTOBERFEST TO THE COMMITTEE AGAIN, IT WAS A GREAT EVENT, REALLY WELL ATTENDED, AND IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE , YOU KNOW, WHAT WE COULD DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY HERE IN THE CITY. AND LASTLY , IN THAT SPIRIT, NEXT YEAR WILL BE OUR 25th ANNIVERSARY AS A CITY, THAT WAS A PRETTY BIG DEAL, AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING A STAFF , AS WHAT WE CAN DO TO CELEBRATE THAT, NOT JUST ONE TIME, BUT MANY TIMES ARE THE YEAR, NEW LOGO OR 20th ANNIVERSARY LOGO. HANSEN STICKERS MADE COMMON T-SHIRTS , EVERYTHING THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT CELEBRATION, BECAUSE I THINK WE DESERVE THAT AS A COMMUNITY, WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY SINCE 1999. AND WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT IT IS TIME TO CELEBRATE , AND WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TO HAVE THE COUNCIL SELECT TWO MEMBERS FROM THE COUNCIL TO SIT ON A SUBCOMMITTEE WITH CITY STAFF , AND MEMBERS OF OUR ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE TO DEVELOP AN APPROACH HOW WE WANT TO ADDRESS THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE APPROPRIATELY DELIVERING TO THE COMMUNITY WHAT THEY SO GREATLY DESERVE. SO, WITH THAT WE WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL TO DECIDE KIND OF INFORMALLY TWO PEOPLE TO SERVE ON THAT SUBCOMMITTEE WITH STAFF. >> OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE. ANYBODY ELSE? STOMACH I AM WAY MORE FUN THAN HIM, SO I DEFINITELY WOULD LIKE TO ALSO SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE. >> WHAT IT SAY? STOMACH I SAID I WAY MORE FUN, WAY MORE FUN THAN YOU. >> SHE THAT SHE IS MORE FUN. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE AN INTEREST? I HAVE INTEREST, BUT IF THE TWO OF YOU ARE GOING TO FIGHT OVER IT, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO BOW OUT. >> WE WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? >> I'M WAITING TO SEE MY COMMENTS. >> COUNCIL MEMBER FOLIC? >> IS FINE. SO, I'M GOING TO PASS ON THIS ONE. >> OKAY, I MEAN IT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA SO WE DON'T BOW PERSPECTIVE, THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER LOOK AND BEAT WITH IT WITH YOU TOO. THANK YOU. >> ANYTHING ELSE? >> NO, MAYOR, THAT INCLUDES THAT REPORT. >> CITY COUNCIL ACTING AS AN ACCESSORY TO THE OAKLAND OR THE RELEVANT AGENCY. >> I DID NOT SAY WHO. COUNSEL FOR FULLER. >> YES. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE AMERICAN LEGION HOST TO A TWO IN BRENTWOOD, WHICH COVERS ALSO QUICKLY , MEMBERS. BE THE ONE DANCE AND IT WAS A GOOD EVENT IN CALL EITHER ONE IS ABOUT, RUNNING THAT AMERICAN LEGION , BEING THAT WE HAVE AN EPIDEMIC OF SUICIDES ON VETERANS IN THE UNITED STATES. IN 2020 THERE WERE 17 TO BESIDES JUST EXERCISE TODAY WITH VETERANS IN THE U.S. THEY FOUND THAT UNDER THE CDC FOUND THAT IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 45 AND A VETERAN AND A MALE , AND YOU HAVE A 57.3% BETTER CHANCE OF COMMITTING SUICIDE THAN OTHER MALES. THAT HAVE NOT BEEN VETERANS , THE IDEA BEHIND BE THE ONE IS BE THE ONE WHO SEES THE VETERAN HAVING TROUBLE AND GET A HOLD OF SOMEBODY THAT THEN HELPS THEM. IT IS THERE. WHILE I WAS THERE, I GOT A COW THAT BOOKS. I'M HOLDING IT UP BECAUSE THIS IS A GEM, IN THIS ALL VETERAN'S BENEFITS FOR THE CALIFORNIA PROVIDES IN TERMS OF VETERANS. IT INCLUDES THE RESIDENCE OF YACHT DALE AND OTHER RESIDENTS. IN THE STATE THAT HAS BEEN BUILT TO HOUSE VETERANS IN THEIR LATER YEARS. ACTUALLY MY SISTER PASSED AWAY IN MAY THEY ARE FROM CARE, IN THIS VERY LOVELY FACILITY , SHE IS ALSO BURIED AT DIXON NATIONAL CEMETERY. IT WAS A BENEFIT OF CAL VETS THAT COMES FROM THERE. I HAVE ASKED THAT MR. McMURRAY LOOK AND SEE IF HE CAN GET A HOLD OF MR. ROY MANNING, WHO WAS THE AMERICAN LEGION SPOKESPERSON ON THIS FOR THESE BOOKS OUT IN THE LOBBY , ALONG WITH A COUNTY VETERANS SERVICE BOOK. OUR ATHLETE. AND ALSO, THIS ONE IS A BIG ONE. VETERANS DRESSES LINING, IF YOU SEE A VETERAN OR A VETERAN IN NEEDS IS IN CRISIS OR NEEDS ASSISTANCE, NATIONWIDE , 98. 988. YOU CAN PRESS 988 AND GET A VETERAN ASSISTANCE AND VETERAN CAN GET A PRETTY WHEN YOU'RE THERE, FIRST ONE, BUT I'M SURE THE VOICEMAIL GET THERE. I WILL ASK THAT THESE BE PUT OUT TOO. I WENT TO OKTOBERFEST, IT WAS LOVELY, IT LOOKED LIKE A CELEBRATION. JUST PEOPLE GETTING TOGETHER TO SEE THAT, IT'S GOOD TO SEE SAINT ANTHONY'S WITH THEIR ABC OPERATION , WHEN THE OPERATION. BEING THERE . THE OAKLEY LIBRARY WAS THERE, BLISSFUL OR AND ARNOLD FITZGERALD WERE THERE , ALONG WITH OTHER INDIVIDUALS. I'M SORRY . BUT THEY HAVE BEEN LEADERS IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR YEARS NOW TRYING TO GET THE LIBRARY AT THERE. THERE IS , I MET WITH LAURIE WILSON'S A.I.D.S. THAT WERE THERE WERE ALSO ADVOCATING . AND OTHERS WERE THERE ALSO. AND LOST ONE , THIS ONE IS ALWAYS , THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE NICE FOR THE NEXT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27th. IT IS THE FREEDOM FUEL CAFE. AT FREEDOM HIGH SCHOOL . EXTREME WEST SIDE OF THE SCHOOL THERE IN THE BACK DOOR. AND BY A COUPLE COFFEE , I THINK THE LAST TIME I BOUGHT A COUPLE COFFEE FOR A DOLLAR. VERY NICE CUP OF COFFEE, AND FOR A TYPE OF A DOLLAR. IT WAS A NICE EVENT , BUT LIFE SKILLS CLASS , SO PERSPECTIVE IS THIS FRIDAY PERSPECTIVE. >> THIS FRIDAY? >> THIS FRIDAY I AM SORRY, AT A TRICKLE OF 45 BUT A 245 IN THE MORNING. SO. >> THANK YOU. >> VICE MAYOR WILLIAMS. >> ALL RIGHT. SO I WILL KEEP IT SHORT, THE APP OF THE CONFERENCE. THERE WAS SOME REALLY INTERESTING THINGS THAT CAME UP DURING THE CONFERENCE. ONE THING THAT SHOULD BE CONCERNING TO ALL OF US IS THAT THERE ARE CURRENTLY ONLY THREE OF US MANUFACTURES IN THE UNITED STATES. AND ONE OF THEM JUST DECLARED BANKRUPTCY. AND THE WAY ALL OF OUR FEDERAL GUIDELINES ARE WRITTEN WE CAN ONLY PURCHASE BUNCHES THAT ARE MANUFACTURED IN THE U.S. SO, THERE IS QUICKLY BECOMING A VERY LONG WAITING LIST TO GET THOSE TWO BUS MANUFACTURERS. SO, YOU KNOW, WITH THE FUTURE OF TRANSIT WE SHOULD ALL PAUSE, BECAUSE THAT IS NOT JUST LARGE BUSES, IT IS ALL BUSES. SO THAT IS HAVE AN ISSUE. THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER THE FIRST DAY WAS THAT OF ANIMATION FOR DISNEY, AND THEY HAD IS REALLY GREAT THINGS TO SAY THAT CAN BE COMMUNICATIVELY USEFUL TO CITIES TOO PRETTY BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, GAVE US A WHOLE CONVERSATION ABOUT CREATIVITY, DIVISION, CURIOSITY, IMAGINATION, THOSE OF THE MOST EMPLOYABLE SKILLS THAT ANYBODY HAS TO HAVE, NONE OF THE THINGS CAN BE TAKEN OVER BY AI, HE WAS JUST ENCOURAGING ALL TO USE THAT. PRESS STAFF, EMPLOYEES, AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WE INTERACT WITH. THERE WAS A SESSION THAT I ATTENDED ON TRANSITS IMPACT FOSTERING OPPORTUNITY AND GROWTH IN COMMUNITY . L.A. IS GOING TO HOST THE 2020 PICS , AND THAT WILL BE THE VERY FIRST EVER CAR FREE BIG VENUE, SO WE SHOULD SEE SOME REALLY EXCITING THINGS ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSIT COMING OUT OF THAT. AND THERE WAS ALSO A REALLY INTERESTING THING THAT SOME CITIES HAVE PLANTED CALLED A RAPID TRANSIT ZONE, WHICH IS A POLICY THAT WAS DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO HAVE A PROTECTED GARDEN CITY ZONE, AND WAREHOUSING POLICY AND TRANSPORTATION HAD A GO HAND IN HAND. SO IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO GO TO THAT. AND THEY WERE ALSO GIVING US THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WHILE IT IS APPLICABLE TO TRANSIT, WE HAVE SOME PROJECTS THAT WERE REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE CITY, SO THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT DOING TIME-LAPSE VIDEOS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHO IS INTERESTED IN THAT. NONE OF THE RESIDENCE OF CYPRUS WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THEY CAME FROM AND WHERE IT IS GOING TO BE, SO I THAT WAS REALLY COOL, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS VERY CHEAP THING TO SET UP. AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO A PANELIST WHO WAS THE CEO OF AMTRAK , WHICH I THOUGHT WAS TIMELY FOR US, AND ONE THIRD OF ALL THE TRIPS ARE TAKEN ON AMTRAK ARE THROUGH COMMUTER RAILS. HE WAS A BIG ADVOCATE OF DESIGNING CITIES AROUND TRANSIT, NOT AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT AS ONE OF OUR CITIES HAVE BEEN. AND THEN SAINT PETE'S FLORIDA ACTUALLY HAS A REALLY GOOD FOOTPRINT FOR US TO LOOK AT FOR AS WERE TALKING ABOUT MOBILITY HUBS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THEY HAVE A REALLY GOOD FOOTPRINT. AND LET'S SEE , AN INTERESTING NOTE ON U.S. HOME PRICES, IT HAS BEEN 140% INCREASE IN THE LAST 20 YEARS , 30% THAT BEING IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. AND 9% INCREASE IN RENT JUST OVER THE LAST YEAR. SO, WAGES CLEARLY ARE NOT GOING UP AT THE SAME RATE. AND ONE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP THAT SIMPLY INTERESTING IS PARK CITY TRANSIT, DESIGNED A PORTABLE HOUSING FOR THEIR TRANSIT EMPLOYEES , IT WAS A CITY PROJECT , BUT THEY WORK WITH THE TRANSIT COMPANY. THEY ARE $600 A MONTH, LOCAL TAX REVENUE , I KNOW NOT JUST MESSERLI WITH TRANSIT WORKERS, BUT WE HAVE FOLKS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT EXECUTIVE SO I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A MODEL SHOULD LOOK AT. SO, OKAY, SO THAT ALSO GOT TO ATTEND THE OAKLEY OAKLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING AT BRANSON, WAS AMAZING, LIKE SUCH A GOOD INSPIRATIONAL THING, I'M NOT SAYING THAT, BECAUSE I WAS THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER BUT IT WAS A REALLY GOOD INTERACTION AND FRESH IDEAS FOR BUSINESSES, I JUST THINK THERE'S SO MUCH ENERGY ACTIVITY AROUND IT, AND I JUST REALLY, REALLY EXCITED THAT WE ARE GETTING OFF THE GROUND AND BURLESQUE IS THE PERFECT PERSON FOR IT, HIS ATTITUDE OF ENERGY AND WANTS TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY, WHICH I THINK IS IMPORTANT TO A YOUNG CITY. SO. I THINK THAT WAS IT. I DID NOT GET TO MAKE IT TO OKTOBERFEST, I GOT OFF TOO LATE. >> COUNCILMEMBER SHAW? >> I WAS ALSO AT THE CONFERENCE, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO ANY MORE DETAIL. THE VENDORS WERE INTERESTING , WE GOT YOU LOVE THE WAY TRANSIT IS GOING AND THE ZERO EMISSION STUFF. SO, VICE MAYOR WILLIAMS COVERED MOST OF IT. I ATTENDED THE IRON HOUSE MEETING VIRTUALLY LATER. I DID GO TO THE DECEPTION , WELCOMING DR. RALSTON AS THE SEVENTH PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE. I GOT A LAST MINUTE TEXT FROM SOMEBODY THAT WAS HAPPENING , I HAPPEN TO BE DOWN THE STREET, SO I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THAT. I ALSO ATTENDED THE OCTOBER FESTIVAL AND A HALF TO ADMIT, THEY ASKED ME IF I HAD A LIBRARY CARD , I TAKE MY CRICKETS TO LIBRARY, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN LIBRARY CARD, AND I HAVE NOT HAD ONE WITH MY LAST NAME, I WILL BE MARRIED 15 YEARS TOMORROW, AND I HAVE A LIBRARY CARD NOW WITH MY LAST NAME ON IT. SO I HAD NO IDEA I HAD NOTHING. SMACK I GOT MY NEAR YEAR AGO. >> OCTOBER ONE OF THEM, WHERE THEY WERE HERE. >> SO NEXT WEEK LAST WEEK I INTENDED McE AND CTA MEETINGS. AND I ALSO ATTENDED OKTOBERFEST . THAT IS ALL I HAVE. WE HAVE NO WORK SESSIONS TONIGHT. WE HAVE A , ONE CLOSED , WE HAVE A CLOSED SESSION. >> I MAKE A REQUEST? >> SORRY. SMACK YOU WANT TO MAKE A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM? >> WELL, MORI ASKED MR. McMURRAY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY HERE TOO THAT WE CAN GET SOME AND PERHAPS CREDIT TO THESE MINISTERS AND OR OTHERS THAT WERE CONFORMANCE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH VETERANS. THAT ARE GOING ON. >> I WOULD SUPPORT THAT. >> GOT TO SEE SPEAKER? >> AS A SPEAKER. >> ANY OTHER FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS? NO? OKAY. LIKE I SAID, NO WORK SESSIONS, AND 8.0, CLOSE SESSION. WE HAVE 8.1 CONFERENCE WITH LABOR NEGOTIATORS, AGENCY DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE, MAYOR ERIN MEADOWS, VICE MAYOR WILLIAMS, CITY ATTORNEY DEREK COLE, AND UNREPRESENTED EMPLOYEE CITY MANAGER JOSHUA McMURRAY. WHEN WE COME BACK FROM CLOSE SESSION WE HAVE NO OTHER BUSINESS , OUR NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING WILL BE HELD TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14th AT 60:30 P.M. HERE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS. THANK YOU FOR COMING.
