AMEN.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
THAT INVOCATION.
WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST WITH
US TONIGHT WHO IS NOT ON OUR
AGENDA.
SO WITHOUT OBJECTION, I'LL
SLIGHTLY MODIFY THE AGENDA
FOR OUR NEXT ITEM.
I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE
BISHOP LOVE LACE FROM THE
CENTER OF PRAISE.
COULD YOU JOIN ME ATED
PODIUM, PLEASE.
CYRUS, IF YOU WOULD JOIN ME
AS WELL.
SO THE THREE OF US AND
MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL AND
A LOT OF STAFF HERE IN THE
ROOM AND POLICE OFFICERS
HAVE SPENT A VERY SPECIAL
DAY YESTERDAY -- SPECIAL
MORNING YESTERDAY ON
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING'S
SPECIAL DAY OF SERVICE, AND
WE SPENT IT AT A FACILITY
OWNED AND OPERATED BY YOUR
CHURCH AND YOUR
CONGREGATION, AND FOR THOSE
OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, WE
WERE CELEBRATING YESTERDAY,
THE BEGINNING OF A RANCHO
CORDOVA YOUTH CENTER, WHICH
WILL BE A PARTNERSHIP
BETWEEN HIS CONGREGATION AND
THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA
USING THE POLICE ACTIVITIES
LEAGUE AS THE VENUE TO OFFER
YOUTH SERVICES AND
ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN IN
RANCHO CORDOVA.
IT'S AN EXTREMELY EXCITING
DAY.
AND YESTERDAY WE PRESENTED
THE BISHOP WITH A VERY
SPECIAL ITEM, WHICH WE VERY
RARELY DO.
IT'S A PRECIOUS ITEM FOR OUR
ORGANIZATION, THE CITY OF
RANCHO CORDOVA.
IT'S A KEY TO THE CITY.
AND THIS WAS AN
EXTRAORDINARY GESTURE BY
YOUR CONGREGGATION AND BY
YOU IN THE LEADERSHIP
POSITION YOU HOLD AND THE
LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO
RANCHO CORDOVA AND OUR KIDS,
AND WE JUST WANTED TO TAKE
THIS OPPORTUNITY SINCE YOU
WERE HERE AND TALKING ABOUT
THE LEASE ARRANGEMENT ON OUR
AGENDA TONIGHT.
AGAIN, PRESENT THIS TO YOU
WITH OUR VIEWERS AT HOME AND
PEOPLE HERE.
IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE'D SET
UP AN ENTIRE PICTURE WITH
YOU AND THE COUNCIL AND THE
KEY.
ANYONE ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO
JOIN YOU FROM YOUR TEAM AND
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS
REMARKABLE PARTNERSHIP THAT
STARTED BETWEEN THE CITY OF
RANCHO CORDOVA AND YOUR
WONDERFUL MINISTRY.
[APPLAUSE]
>> I ADD A FEW MORE
COMMENTS.
WE ACTUALLY BECAME AWARE OF
THE BISHOP'S DESIRE ABOUT
PROVIDING THIS OPPORTUNITY
FOR THE YOUTH IN OUR
COMMUNITY TO HAVE THE SPACE
NOT TOO LONG AGO.
WE HAD OUR POLICE OFFICERS,
THE POLICE ACTIVITIES LEAGUE
HAD BUILT A RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE BISHOP.
THEY MADE THE INTRODUCTION.
AND THEY WERE IN NEED OF
SOME FACILITY WHERE THEY
COULD HAVE THE EVENTS, WHERE
THEY COULD HAVE THE CENTER
AVAILABLE TO THEM.
SO OUR IDEA, OUR THOUGHT,
WAS POSSIBLY HAVING THE
COMMUNITY TO USE THE CENTER
FOR OCCASIONAL ACTIVITIES
FOR SOME WORK WE NEED TO DO
IN THAT CENTER.
THEN VERY SOON, THE
DISCUSSIONS EVOLVED WITH THE
CENTER PLACE AS SUGGESTING
OR RECOMMENDING THAT THEY
WILL GIVE THE SPACE FOR A
LONG-TERM LEASE TO THE CITY
FREE OF CHARGE.
.
SO THIS IS A 25-YEAR LEASE
WITH OPTION TO EXTEND FOR
ANOTHER 25 YEARS.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE
CHURCH ALSO HAS A NONPROFIT
ARM, AND THEY ARE ACTIVELY
INVOLVED AND ENGAGED.
SO SOUTHER SACRAMENTO IS THE
NONPROFIT ARM.
THEY ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN
WORKING WITH OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICT, COMMUNITY MEMBERS,
AND BRING VARIOUS PROGRAMS
AND ACTIVITIES TO THE
CHURCH.
WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL.
IT'S BEEN AN EXTREMELY
GENEROUS OFFER AND PLEASURE
TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE
CENTER PLACE FOR -- WITH OUR
CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP.
THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
[APPLAUSE]
>> BISHOP, WOULD YOU LIKE TO
MAKE ANY COMMENTS?
>> CERTAINLY, HONORABLE
MAYOR AND TO CITY COUNCIL
AND TO ALL THAT ARE HERE
TODAY, I CERTAINLY WANT TO
THANK YOU FROM THE DEPTHS OF
MY HEART FOR THIS
TREMENDOUS, I CALL IT A
BLESSING AND AN HONOR TO
RECEIVE THIS ON BEHALF OF
MYSELF AND CERTAINLY ON
BEHALF OF THE CENTER OF
SHARED IN BRIEF REMARKS
YESTERDAY.
I'M A RESIDENT HERE IN
RANCHO CORDOVA, AND OUR
CHURCH, THE CENTER OF PRAISE
WAS PLANTED HERE 30 YEARS
AGO WITH 12 PEOPLE.
AND NOW WE HAVE A LITTLE
OVER 3,000 THAT ATTEND
REGULAR SERVICES, AND WE
MOVED THE WORSHIP SERVICES
TO MID-TOWN SACRAMENTO WHEN
WE PURCHASED THE CATHEDRAL,
BUT WE NEVER LOST OUR CARE
AND OUR LOVE FOR THIS
COMMUNITY.
AND WE CERTAINLY HAD A HEART
FOR OUR YOUTH AND SEEING OUR
YOUTH BEING ABLE TO BE CARED
FOR AND TO COME TOGETHER IN
THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH CHIEF
PITTMAN AND CERTAINLY WITH
OUR CITY MANAGER CYRUS.
IT'S BEEN A TREMENDOUS
ENCOURAGEMENT, AND I LEAVE
HERE TONIGHT KNOWING THAT
NOT ONLY AM I PROUD RESIDENT
OF RANCHO CORDOVA, BUT WE
HAVE A LIFELONG PARTNERSHIP
THAT WILL CONTINUE TO TOUCH
GENERATIONS TO COME.
SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
>> OKAY.
WE WILL RESUME OUR REGULAR
AGENDA WITH PRESENTATIONS
AND MOVE ON TO ITEM
NUMBER 5.

ANOTHER EXTRA PRESENTATION?
>> IT'S NOT A -- I THINK THE
BISHOP AND THE CENTER OF
PRAISE HAD SOME SMALL TOKENS
AND SOME GAVE THE GIFTS THEY
WANTED TO PRESENT TO THE

I WANTED TO BE SURE WE TAKE

RIGHT NOW.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.

BISHOP LOVELACE JUNIOR, AND
ADVISORY COUNCIL, WE HAVE A

THEY ARE COMMITTED TO THIS

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ALL RIGHT.
I MISSPOKE EARLIER.
WE ARE NOT DONE WITH ITEM

WE WERE DONE WITH 5.1.
WE'LL MOVE TO OUR POLICE
CHIEF CHRIS PITTMAN WHO, I
THINK, HAS SOME
INTRODUCTIONS TO BE AHEAD.
POLICE OF CHIEF OR CHIEF OF
POLICE.
[LAUGHTER]
>> YES, MAYOR.
GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.
MR. MAYOR, VICE MAYOR.
CHRIS PITTMAN, CHIEF OF
POLICE.
I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF
INTRODUCING TONIGHT TWO NEW
SERGEANTS WE HAVE AT THE
RANCHO CORDOVA POLICE
DEPARTMENT AND THE SHERIFF'S
EAST DIVISION.
WE RECENTLY STARTED A NEW
ONBOARDING PROCESS WHERE WE
BRING IN NEW OFFICERS AND
NEW SUPERVISORS AND NEW
MANAGERS AND ACCLIMATE THEM
INTO WHAT WE'RE ABOUT, THE
IMPORTANCE OF OUR CONTRACT
WITH THE CITY OF RANCHO
CORDOVA, THE COMMUNITY HERE,
AND THIS WILL BE THE
CULMINATION OF THAT.
IT'S A TWO-WEEK ONBOARDING
TRAINING WE DO, AND WE
COMPLETE IT.
WE WANTED TO BRING THEM IN
AND INTRODUCE THEM TO THE
COUNCIL TONIGHT.
RIGHT HERE.
COME ON UP.
SO IT'S MY PLEASURE TO
INTRODUCE SERGEANT JIM
PETRINOVICH AND SERGEANT
KELLI MANESS-DUNCAN.
KELLIE IS ON OUR EAST SIDE
OF THE HOUSE AND JIM WILL BE
ON THE RANCHO CORDOVA SIDE.
THEY'RE PARTNERS AND WORK
THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT
TOGETHER.
YOU PROBABLY WON'T SEE THEM
A LOT.
DAYLIGHT HOURS.
THEY'VE BEEN WITH US THE
LAST FEW WEEKS.
NOW THEY'RE GOING TO REGULAR
SHIFT IN THE EVENING.
A BIT ABOUT THEM BOTH.
JIM AND I ACTUALLY USED TO
WORK TOGETHER IN 2012.
WAYS A WATCH COMMANDER AND
HE WAS DEPUTY.
BUT HE STARTED HIS CAREER AT
THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IN
2003.
HE'S WORKED NORTH PATROL,
JUST CAME FROM OUR FOLSOM
DAM SECURITY BUREAU, ANOTHER
CONTRACT, CENTRAL PATROL AT
THE JAIL AND ALL AROUND OUR
DEPARTMENT.
SEVEN DIFFERENT DIVISIONS.
HE'S ALSO HAD SEVEN YEARS
EXPERIENCE ON S.W.A.T.
TEAM.
GREAT EXPERIENCE COMING TO
OUR TEAM.
VERY LUCKY TO HAVE HIM.
KELLIE -- HER AND I HAVE NOT
WORKED VERY MUCH TOGETHER
BUT I'VE KNOWN HER MY WHOLE
CAREER.
SHE STARTED IN 1999.
WORKED BOTH JAILS, WORKED
CENTRALIZED INVESTIGATIONS
DIVISION AS A DETECTIVE --
SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS,
ACADEMY, AND ALSO RIGHT HERE
IN RANCHO FOR FIVE YEARS AS
A DEPUTY.
SHE WAS HERE IN 2007 TO
2012.
THEY ALWAYS WANT TO COME
BACK.
[LAUGHTER]
KELLIE REALLY WANTED TO COME
TO THIS DIVISION AND WE'RE
VERY LUCKY TO HAVE THEM
BOTH.
IT WAS MY INTRO TO PEOPLE
THAT WE'RE VERY LUCKY TO
HAVE HERE AS SUPERVISORS.
>> VERY GOOD.
>> THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
>> I GUESS IF THEY'RE ON
GRAVEYARD YOU WELCOME THEM
TO THE DARK SIDE, RIGHT?
[LAUGHTER]
>> I DIDN'T REALIZE THE
CHIEF HAD ALSO WORKED THE
DARK SIDE.
THAT'S INTERESTING.
OKAY.
NEXT UP, I THINK WE HAVE
DALIA.
WITH ANOTHER EMPLOYEE
INTRODUCTION.
>> YES.
GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE
MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, CITY
MANAGER, AND OUR LOVELY
PUBLIC.
I'M SUPER EXCITED TO
INTRODUCE MARGARITA, THE NEW
ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER IN
THE PUBLIC WORKS
DEPARTMENT.
SHE WAS SELECTED OUT OF 61
APPLICATIONS.
WANTED TO GET THAT IN
THERE.
SHE WILL BE SUPPORTING THE
SECTION WITH OVERSEEING

WATER FACILITIES, ADDRESSING
RESIDENT COMPLAINTS,
COORDINATING STORM WATER,
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROJECTS, HELPING WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE WATER
QUALITY REGULATORY PROGRAMS
FOR THE CITY, AND OVERALL
JUST COORDINATION WITH OTHER
CITY DEPARTMENTS AS NEEDED.
WE ARE SO SUPER EXCITED TO
HAVE MARGARITA ON BOARD, AND
I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER
TO HER TO TELL HER A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT HERSELF.
>> THANK YOU, DALIA.
I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO BE HERE
AT THE CITY OF RANCHO
CORDOVA.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY
BACKGROUND.
I ACTUALLY GREW UP IN THIS
AREA.
SO AS A LITTLE GIRL, I
REMEMBER BEGGING TO STAY
WITH MY GRANDPARENTS TO SEE
THE FOURTH OF JULY PARADE
DOWN COLOMA BRIGHT AND EARLY
IN JULY.
I EARNED MY CIVIL
ENGINEERING DEGREE AT
SACRAMENTO STATE, AND I

MY HUSBAND ARE BLESSED TO BE

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
BEING WITH THE CITY OF
RANCHO CORDOVA.
>> WELCOME.
[APPLAUSE]
>> ALL RIGHT.
NEXT UP, ITEM 5.4.
WE HAVE A PRESENTATION OR
BRIEFING FROM CALIFORNIA
AMERICAN WATER.
>> 5.3.
I HAVE -- THAT'S A REPEAT
ITEM.
RANCHO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
>> IT'S A DIFFERENT ITEM.
>> OKAY.
WE WILL GO BACK TO THE
RANCHO CORDOVA POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
WAIT JUST A SECOND.
[LAUGHTER]
>> AGAIN, MR. MAYOR, VICE
MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER CHIEF
POLICE.
GOING TO BE JOINING ME
TONIGHT IS MR. MEREDITH,
SERGEANT AT YOUTH SERVICES.
WE HAVE THE GREAT HONOR AND
PLEASURE TO DISCUSS THE
EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM
WE DO AT THE EAST DIVISION.
WE HAVE AN EMPLOYEE OF THE
QUARTER PROGRAM THAT EVERY
QUARTER WE SELECT AN
INDIVIDUAL THAT EXEMPLIFY
WHAT'S WE STAND FOR, THEIR
PEER THEIR SUPERVISORS WILL
SELECT THEM NAME AND WE WILL
SELECT THEM TO REPRESENT
THEM.
THEIR NAMES GO ON A PLAQUE
AT THE REAR OF THE OFFICE
FOR ALL THE OFFICERS TO
SEE.
AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WE
PICK AN EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR
FROM THEM.
TONIGHT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD
BE FITTING TO SHARE THIS
TOGETHER WITH YOU AND
DISCUSS OUR EMPLOYEE OF THE
YEAR.
THIS PERSON DOESN'T KNOW
THEY'RE GETTING EMPLOYE OF
THE YEAR.
IT WILL BE A SURPRISE.
BUT THE INDIVIDUAL WE
SELECTED AS YOU CAN IMAGINE,
WE HAVE SUCH GREAT PEOPLE WE
WORK WITH ON A DAILY BASIS.
IT'S A VERY TOUGH CHOICE.
THIS PERSON IS EXTREMLY
HUMBLE.
VERY DEDICATED TO THE
COMMUNITY AS YOU WILL
OBVIOUSLY AGREE WITH ONCE I
TELL YOU WHO THE PERSON IS.
BUT AN AMAZING INDIVIDUAL
THAT HAS DONE SUCH A
PHENOMENAL JOB FOR US.
I'LL STEAL ONE OF RICH'S
LINES, BUT THIS PERSON IS
NEVER GOING TO BE STAR ON
ICE BUT SHE'S A ROCK STAR
HERE IN RANCHO CORDOVA.
SO TRACY, WOULD YOU PLEASE
COME JOIN US?
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
>> SO AS YOU ALL KNOW, TRACY
HAS DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB
FOR US FOR RANCHO CORDOVA
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SHE WAS PATROL OFFICE, FIELD
TRAINING OFFICER, AND MOST
RECENTLY, CAME OVER TO OUR
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER
PROGRAM.
A JOB WE HAD TO CONVINCE HER
TO TAKE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
BUT NOW EVERY SINGLE DAY
GOES WITHOUT FAIL.
I GET A TEXT THANKING ME FOR
CONVINCING HER TO TAKE THE
JOB.
IT'S THE JOB SHE'S DONE AN
AMAZING WELL FOR US HERE IN
THE CITY.
I KNOW NO ONE THAT HAS DONE
SUCH AN INCREDIBLE JOB AS
YOU.
SO THANK YOU, TRACY, FOR ALL
YOU DO.
YOU WELL DESERVE.
THE OFFICER OF THE YEAR.
[APPLAUSE]
>> RICH, DID YOU WANT TO --
>> YEAH.
>> YOU HAVE TO STAY UP
HERE.
[LAUGHTER]
>> I WOULD LIKE NOTED HE DID
ACTUALLY STEAL THAT LINE
FROM ME.
SO I'M TRACY'S SUPERVISOR.
I WANTED TO TAKE A SECOND TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE AMAZING WORK
SHE DOES.
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL ANYBODY
ON THIS COUNCIL.
SHE'S OUR RANCHO CORDOVA
ROCK STAR.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHARE
MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WHEN I
FIRST MET HER AT OUR
COMMUNICATIONS CENTER.
AND I WASN'T QUITE SURE WHAT
TO MAKE OF HER AT FIRST.
SHE KIND OF FREAKED ME OUT A
LITTLE BIT.
BUT AS I'VE COME HERE TO
RANCHO CORDOVA, SO
PASSIONATE ABOUT THE YOUTH
HERE AND HER KIDS.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT SHE
TERMS THEM AS, HER KIDS.
HER BUY-IN FOR OUR COMMUNITY
AND OUR YOUTH HERE IS
AMAZING.
I KNOW YOU HAVE ALL SEEN HER
OUT THERE AT THE SPOT,
RIGHT?
DOING HER HANDSHAKE IN THE
MORNING.
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT,
AND I DROVE BY IT AS A
PATROL SUPERVISOR AND I'VE
NEVER SEEN KIDS SO HAPPY TO
GO TO SCHOOL.
I THOUGHT THERE WAS A RIOT
OR SOMETHING.
THEY WERE RUN AGO CROSS THE
STREET INTO HER ARMS TO DO
THEIR HANDSHAKES.
FOR ME PERSONALLY, BEING IN
THIS BUSINESS ALMOST 20
YEARS, I'VE NEVER SEEN
SOMEBODY DO THEIR JOB WITH
THE PASSION SHE DOES AND FOR
ME, HER SUPERVISOR.
IT'S A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE.
I JUST WANTEDDED TO TAKE THE
TIME TO ACKNOWLEDGE HER AND
THANK HER FOR THE WORK SHE
DOES.
>> THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
>> YOU EARNED IT.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY A
COUPLE WORDS?
>> LIKE I'M GOING TO FAINT.
IT'S AN EXTREME HONOR FOR ME
TO BE HERE, TO RECEIVE THIS
OFFICER OF THE YEAR, TO BE
STANDING BEFORE YOU GUYS
TODAY.
I APPRECIATE -- I JUST
APPRECIATE YOUR GUYS'
SUPPORT OF ME, AND MY VISION
WITH MY KIDS, MY HEART FOR
THESE KIDS.
YOU GUYS SUPPORT ME LIKE
NOBODY ELSE HAS, AND YOU
GUYS GIVE ME HANDSHAKES AS
WELL, AND I -- I DON'T
KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE THE BISHOP, LIKE
I'M GOING TO FAINT.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR RECEIVING ME.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> THANK YOU.
>> IF COUNCIL WOULDN'T MIND,
WE'D LIKE TO GET A PICTURE
IF THAT'S OKAY.
>> SURE.
[APPLAUSE]
>> CAN WE HAVE THE YSU TEAM
COME UP, PLEASE.
[APPLAUSE]
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL, VERY
MUCH.
>> ALL RIGHT.
NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM
5.4, AND WE PROBABLY COULD
NOT HAVE MADE A MORE
DIFFICULT OPENER FOR
CALIFORNIA AMERICAN WATER
THAN HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT AND
TALK ABOUT A RATE INCREASE.
>> YEAH.
WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT
WATER NOW?
CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT IS AWESOME AND
FANTASTIC.
TWO KIDS IN ANOTHER DISTRICT
AND THEY LOVE THEIR RESOURCE
OFFICERS.
IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE
THAT POSITIVE ROLE MODEL
THERE IN SCHOOL AND THERE,
FRANKLY, IN THIS DAY AND AGE
TO PROTECT THEM AGAINST THE
UNTHINKABLE.
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO,
REALLY.
HEARTFELT THANK YOU.
LET'S TALK WATER AND RATES
NOW.
VERY EXCITING SUBJECT.
I GUESS EVERY THREE YEARS OR
SO I GET TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT THE PEC PROPOSALS.
>> IT'S GOING DOWN, RIGHT?
SO EXCITING.
>> GREAT NEWS!
GOOD NEWS.
I CAME THREE YEARS AGO AND
WE TALKED ABOUT OUR LAST
GENERAL RATE CASE WHICH WE
PROPOSED AN INCREASE.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT
ENDED UP BEING ABOUT A $1
PENNY PER MONTH INCREASE FOR
THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER BECAUSE
SOME OF THE THINGS WE
PROPOSED WERE DENIED AND WE
ALSO WERE ABLE TO FIND SOME
COST SAVINGS THROUGH THE TAX
CUTS AND JOBS ACT, THE
FEDERAL TAX LEGISLATION
PASSED A COUPLE YEARS AGO
AND SOME CHANGES MANY OUR
CAPITAL STRUCTURE.
THAT ONE WAS A WIN AND DID
HOPEFULLY RATES FLAT FOR THE
AVERAGE CUSTOMER.
THERE WERE OTHER CHANGES IN
THERE TO RATES AND THINGS
LIKE THAT THAT I CAN PACTS
CAN VARY FOR CUSTOMERS.
IN GENERAL, IT WAS A GOOD
RESULT HOW OUR REVENUE
RESULT STEADY FOR THE
COMMUNITY.
THE MAP I'M SHOWING NOW, I'M
SURE YOU ARE ALL FAMILIAR
WITH.
THESE ARE THE SERVICE AREAS
IN THE SACRAMENTO REGION
WHERE WE ARE THE WATER
SERVICE PROVIDER.
WE HAVE TWO IN RANCHO
CORDOVA.
SUBURBAGE ROSEMONT, THE
LARGEST SYSTEM IN THE
SACRAMENTO AREA, CERTAINLY.
SERVES UNINCORPORATED
SACRAMENTO COUNTY AND RANCHO
CORDOVA AND WE HAVE SECURITY
PARK IN EASTERN RANCHO
CORDOVA WHICH IS PROBABLY
OUR CURRENTLY OUR SMALLEST
SYSTEM RIGHT NOW THAT SERVES
THE OLD SECURITY PARK LOCKET
TESTING FACILITY AND THERE'S
COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY OUT
THERE AND POSSIBLY GROWTH IN
THE FUTURE.
 P.M. IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
WE SERVE ABOUT 60,000
CONNECTIONS.
THE BULK OF OUR CUSTOMERS
ARE HERE IN SACRAMENTO
COUNTY AND WE HAVE CUSTOMERS
IN YOLO COUNTY, MERCED, AND
SONOMA COUNTY, AND WE SERVE
A VARIETY OF COMMUNITIES
HERE IN SACRAMENTO FROM DOWN
IN THE DELTA AISLE TO WALNUT
GROVE TO PARTS OF CITRUS
HEIGHTS, RANCHO CORDOVA, THE
ANTELOPE AREA, SOUTH
SACRAMENTO, WESTERN PLACER
COUNTY, ARDEN AREA AS WELL.
WE HAVE A NUMBER OF
SYSTEMS.
MOST OF THEM SERVE GROUND
WATER.
ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS
WE'RE DOING IN THE REGION IS
DOING MORE CONJUNCTIVE USE
TO USE A COMBINATION OF
SURFACE WATER AND
GROUNDWATER IN EACH OF THE
22 WATER SYSTEMS IN
SACRAMENTO COUNTY.
WE ARE GETTING THERE.
IT IS AN INVESTMENT TO MAKE
THE CHANGES AND USE BOTH
TYPES OF WATER.
BUT FROM A REGIONAL
PERSPECTIVE AND OUR REGIONAL
MANAGEMENT OF THE COMMON
RESOURCES, IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT WE CONTINUE TO DO
THAT.
WE HAVE ABOUT 650 MILES OF
PIPE IN SACRAMENTO REGION.
WE HAVE 25 STORAGE RESERVOIR
17 TREATMENT PLANTS AND OVER
100 WELLS.
MOST OF OUR WATER DOES COME
FROM GROUNDWATER.
IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, WE
PAID ABOUT $1.9 MILLION IN
PROPERTY TAXES AND FRANCHISE
FEES LAST YEAR.
WE ALSO ARE PROUD TO SUPPORT
THE COMMUNITY WITH GIVEN
MAJOR GRANTS AND ANNUAL
SUPPORT TO THE AMERICAN
RIVER PARKWAY FOUNDATION,
WHICH IS A FAVORITE OF
MINE.
ALSO THE CORDOVA COMMUNITY
COUNCIL, SACRAMENTO FOOD
BANK AND A LOT OF OTHER
WORTHY ORGANIZATIONS
THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
GETTING INTO RATES.
HOW EACH DOLLAR IS SPENT IN
THE SACRAMENTO DISTRICT.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE.
WHEN YOU TAKE A DOLLAR,
WHERE IS IT THAT MONEY GO?
THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR A
COUPLE REASONS.
ONE REASON IS IT TELLS THE
STORY OF OUR HIGH FIXED
COSTS.
LOCAL OPERATIONS ARE ABOUT
30% OF THE BUDGET.
THAT'S OUR LOCAL STAFF.
OUTTURNING THE VALVES.
RUNNING THE TREATMENT
PLANTS, DOING WHAT THEY NEED
TO DO.
CENTRAL SERVICES ARE THINGS
COMBINED FOR EFFICIENCY,
LIKE DOING, ACCOUNTING,
THINGS LIKE THAT, ACCOUNT
FOR ABOUT 9%, 8% OF THE
TOTAL COST OF WATER, TAXES
ARE ABOUT 10%.
THAT'S EVERYTHING FROM
FEDERAL INCOME TAX DOWN TO
THE LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES AND
FRANCHISE FEES WE PAY, AND
INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH IS
OBVIOUSLY CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT TO SUPPLYING
WATER, IS WHERE WE SPEND THE
MOST MONEY, ABOUT 44 OUT OF
EVERY DOLLAR GOES TOWARDS
INFRASTRUCTURE TO PROVIDE
WATER SUPPLY.
SMALLEST OR SECOND SMALLEST
PIECE OF THE PIE IS WATER
PRODUCTION, WHICH IS THE --
WHAT WE USE TO PUMP THE
WATER OUT OF THE GROUND, THE
CHEMICALS WE USE TO TREAT
THE WATER, AND IF WE'RE
PURCHASING WATER FROM A
NEIGHBORING AGENCY THAT HAS
SURFACE WATER, WHAT WE'RE
PAYING THEM FOR IT.
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY BIG
VARIABLE COST IN OUR
BUDGET.
MOST OF THESE COSTS ARE
FIXED.
CAN'T CHANGE THE SIZE OF A
PIPE EASILY OR LAY PEOPLE
OFF BECAUSE WE'RE SELLING
LESS WATER.
WE STILL NEED METERS READ,
TURN THE VALVES, AND RUN THE
TREATMENT PLANTS EVERY DAY.
I AM PROUD OF OUR CUSTOMER
BENEFITS AND ONE OF THE
BIGGEST ISSUES WAS TALKED
ABOUT QUITE A BIT IN THE
STATE THE PAST COUPLE YEARS
AROUND WATER HAS BEEN
RATEPAYER ASSISTANCE.
CALIFORNIA AMERICAN WATER
HAS ONE OF THE BEST
LOW-INCOME RATEPAYER
ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS IN THE
STATE, PROVIDES A 20%
DISCOUNT ON OUR FIXED AND
METER CHARGES FOR CUSTOMERS
WHO QUALIFY FOR THE SMUD OR
PG CARE PROGRAM, WHICH IS
200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY
LEVEL.
THE AMOUNT VARIES BASED ON
HOUSEHOLD SIZE.
WE ALSO -- SOME OTHER THINGS
WE OFFER, FINALLY NO-FEE
CREDIT CARD PROCESSING.
WE HAD TO GET STATE LAW
CHANGES TO TAKE DEBIT,
CREDIT AND PREPAID CARDS.
IT'S BEEN A ABOUT BIG
CUSTOMER BENEFIT.
GOOD EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION
SYSTEM.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE'VE HAD TO
USE IT WITH THE WILDFIRE.
DISASTER RELIEF BENEFITS IN
THE CASE OF EVER A DISASTER
IN THE AREA.
WE HAVE A VERY GOOD CUSTOMER
WEB PORTAL CALLED MY WATER
THAT WE REALLY ENCOURAGE
FOLKS TO SIGN UP FOR, AND WE
HAVE AN EXCELLENT
CONSERVATION PROGRAM THAT
INCLUDES WATERWISE HOUSE
CALLS AND FREE CONSERVATION
DEVICES.
INFORMATION ABOUT THOSE
PROGRAMS, BY THE WAY, I
SHOULD SAY, YOU CAN ALWAYS
GIVE US A CALL AT (916)
568-4201 FOR CONSERVATION OR
LOW-INCOME RATEPAYER
ASSISTANCE OR VISIT OUR
WEBSITE,
CALIFORNIAAMWATER.COM.
SO IF CUSTOMERS ARE WATCHING
TONIGHT, THAT'S A GREAT WAY
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THOSE
PROGRAMS.
IN TERMS OF WHAT'S IN OUR
APPLICATION, AS I SAID,
EVERY THREE YEARS, WE'RE
REQUIRED BY THE PUC TO COME
IN, FILE A REVIEW OF OUR
RATES, MAKE A PROPOSAL.
IT'S A QUASIS.
>> IBLE PROCESS.
THERE IS A DIVISION OF
RATEPAYER ADVOCATES ON
BEHALF OF THE CUSTOMERS,
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE
THAT HEARS THE FACTS.
THERE'S AN OPEN-BOOK PROCESS
WITH FULL DISCOVERY,
DISCLOSURE, ACCOUNTING
REVIEW.
IT'S A VERY INVOLVED
PROCESS, TAKES AT LEAST 18
MONTHS, OFTEN LONGER THAN
THAT.
SO WE FILED IN JULY OF LAST
YEAR TO MAKE RATES FOR 21,
22, AND 23.
WE EXPECT THE DECISION IN
DECEMBER 2020 WITH THE RATES
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1 THE
FOLLOWING YEAR.
AND WE HAVE REQUESTED THE
REVENUE INCREASE OF ABOUT
14% FOR THE YEAR 2021.
I WILL SAY THAT'S ACTUALLY
SMALLER NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE
BUILT FOUR WATER TREATMENT
PLANTS SINCE THEN THAT HAVE
GONE INTO SERVICE AND ARE
SERVING BECAUSE.
SO THOSE ARE NOW INCLUDED IN
RATES.
WE TYPICALLY GET MUCH LESS
THAN WE ASK FOR FROM THE
PUC.
CHANGES OCCUR.
THEY FIND WAYS TO PUSH US
FOR SAVINGS AND COSTS.
NO REQUEST IS FINAL UNTIL
THE PUC APPROVES IT.
FOCUSED ON INFRASTRUCTURE
INVESTMENT.
AND OUR HOPE IN THIS CASE IS
TO GET ON THED ITY TRACK OF
REHABILITATION AND
REPLACEMENT OF ASSETS.
WE HAVE OVER A HUNDRED
WELLS.
GETTING ON TO A STEADY CYCLE
OF MAIN REPLACEMENTS.
IT'S BETTER TO REPLACEMENT
THEM OCCASIONALLY AS YOU
NEED RATHER THAN LET THAT
MAINTENANCE DEFER THAT
REPLACEMENT, DEFER, AND END
UP WITH A BIG CHALLENGE DOWN
THE ROAD WITH MANY AREAS
NEEDING ATTENTION.
AND THEN LAST WEEK, ACTUALLY
A WEEK AGO TODAY, THE PUC
WAS HERE, WE HAD ABOUT 20
BECAUSE COME OUT.
SEVEN OF THEM TESTIFIED.
I THINK THE BIGGEST ISSUE
CONCERN WE HEARD ABOUT WAS
RATE DESIGN.
THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR
YOU ALL TO KNOW, BECAUSE IN
THE PUC, AND REALLY FOR ANY
UTILITY, YOU HAVE TO DO TWO
THINGS.
FIRST, SET YOUR BUM EXPERT
DECIDE WHAT YOUR BUDGET IS
GOING TO BE.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO RUN
THAT BUSINESS AND PROVIDING
SAFE, CLEAN WATER TO THE
COMMUNITY.
ONCE YOU ESTABLISH THAT
BUDGET AND YOU FIGURE THAT
OUT, THEN YOU HAVE TO FIGURE
OUT, HOW DO YOU DO A RATE
DESIGN THAT WILL COLLECT THE
AMOUNT YOU NEED TO MEET YOUR
BUDGET?
AND WE'LL GET INTO IT A
LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT RATE
DESIGNS VARIY GREATLY IN
REGION.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT
PHILOSOPHIES BEHIND THEM IN
TERMS OF COLLECTING FIXED
COSTS OR FIXED CHARGES
VERSUS FIXED COSTS THROUGH
VARIABLE CHARGES AND WHAT
WANT THE IMPACTS AND SIGNALS
TO BE.
WE HEARD ABOUT RATE DESIGN.
WE HAVE A CONSERVATION
ORIENTED TIERED RATE DESIGN
RIGHT NOW THAT THE PUC TOOK
NOTE THAT THERE WERE SOME
CUSTOMERS THAT HAD CONCERNS
ABOUT IT.
OUR KEY DRIVERS, AS I
MENTIONED, ARE REALLY PRETTY
STRAIGHTFORWARD.
IN THIS CASE, WE'RE
REQUESTING STEADY CAPITAL
INVESTMENT TO MAKE SURE OUR
SYSTEM'S RESILIENT IN THE
FUTURE.
WE HAVE INCREASED PRODUCTION
COSTS.
AGAIN, WE'RE HAVING
TREATMENT PLANTS FOR NEW
CONTAMINANTS THAT COST MORE
MONEY TO RUN.
LABOR EXPERIENCES ARE BOY
UP.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND GENERAL
EXPENSE THEN THE
DEPRECIATION EXPENSE ON THE
ASSETS THAT ARE IN THE
GROUND.
THIS IS THE ONE I THINK'S
THE MOST TELLING AND I'D
LIKE TO SPEND A COUPLE
MINUTES ON IT.
IT WILL PROBABLY BE LIKE
PAGE DRYING FOR SOME O
YOU.
FOR A WATER GUY LIKE ME IT'S
VERY INTERESTING.
THIS SHOWS THE RATE
COMPARISON FOR FOUR WATER
SYSTEMS, CALIFORNIA AMERICAN
WATER ON THE LEFT, GOLDEN
STATE WATER, SECOND FROM
LAST; SAC SUBURBAN, WHICH IS
A LARGE PRIMARILY
GROUNDWATER-PRODUCE WATER
AGENCY NORTH OF THE RIVER,
SERVING LARGE UNNOTERRED --
THEN SACRAMENTO COUNTY WHICH
ALSO SERVES A PORTION OF
RANCHO CORDOVA.
AND THE -- GENERALLY WHEN
PAYING A WATER RATE, IF
YOU'RE METERED AND NOT
PAYING A FLAT RATE, YOU'RE
NORMALLY PAYING A METER
CHARGE AND A QUANTITY CHARGE
BASED ON HOW MUCH WATER YOU
USE.
WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS
SCENARIO -- I GUESS, I'LL
START WITH THE RIGHT, WITH
SACRAMENTO COUNTY.
THE LARGE GREY BOX ON TOP OF
SACRAMENTO COUNTY'S RATES
ARE BASICALLY PART OF THEIR
METER CHARGE.
SO IF YOU COMBINE THAT GRAY
BOX WITH THE BLUE BOX, IT
THAT IS THEIR FIXED CHARMS
EVERY MONTH.
THE GRAY PART REPRESENTS THE
CAPITAL FACILITIES FEE THEY
CHARGE.
THEN THE BLUE REPRESENTS
THEIR METER CHARGE, THE
ORANGE IS THE QUANTITY
CHARGE.
SO YOU SEE THERE, DISTRICTS
THAT ARE COLLECTING A LOT OF
THEIR REVENUE FROM FIXED
CHARGES, HIGHER FIXED
CHARGES.
THE OTHER HAND, GOLDEN STATE
WATER, CALLAHAN, BOTH PUC
REGULATED.
BOTH HAVE SMALLER METER
CHARGES AND HIGHER QUANTITY
CHARGES TO COLLECT THE
REVENUE NEEDED PER SYSTEM.
LY SAY THERE ARE 22
DIFFERENT WATER DISTRICTS IN
THE COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO.
NONE OF THEM HAVE THE EXACT
SAME RATES OR THE EXACT SAME
IT'S ALL ABOUT TRADEOFF AND
BALANCES AND ABOUT HOW MUCH
WATER YOU'RE SELLING TO EACH
CUSTOMER, WHAT YOUR MIX OF
CUSTOMERS IS, COMMERCIAL
VERSUS RESIDENTIAL, AND WHAT
THE AGE OF YOUR
INFRASTRUCTURE IS AND THE
COST OF YOUR SUPPLY IS.
SO THE ONE B THING I GUESS
WE HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT
THERE'S NO REAL COMMONALITY
IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY AND
EVERYONE DESIGNS THEIR OWN
RATES TO MEET THE COST.
>> CAN I ASK A COUPLE
QUESTIONS?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> TO MAKE SURE WE ALL KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT METER
CHARGE, WHAT GOES INTO THE
METER CHARGE?
IS THAT THE COST TO INSTALL
THE METERS IN THE HOUSES OR
WHAT?
>> NO.
SO THE METER CHARGE
REPRESENTS A CHARGE THAT YOU
CAN VARY BASED ON HOW MUCH
OF YOUR REVENUE YOU WANT TO
COLLECT THROUGH A FIXED
CHARGE.
IN THE METER CHARGE WILL
GENERALLY WILL ALWAYS NEED
SYSTEM VARY BASED ON THE
SIZE OF THE WATER METER.
THE LARGER THE METER, THE
MORE INFRASTRUCTURE YOU NEED
BEHIND IT TO MEET THE
DEMAND.
>> YES.
Q.BUT IF WE WERE TO HAVE --
IF WE COLLECTED ALL FIXED
COST WHICH ARE 90% OF OUR
REVENUE REQUIREMENT IS FIXED
COST AND OUR METER CHARGE,
METER CHARM WOULD BE 90% OF
OUR BILL.
HERE YOU CAN SEE IT'S A MUCH
SMALLER AMOUNT FOR THE
TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL
CUSTOMER.
SAC SUBURBAN HAS A MODEL
WHERE THEY ARE COLLECTING
MOST OF THEIR FIXED COSTS
THROUGH THEIR FIXED CHARGE.
SIMILARLY, SACRAMENTO COUNTY
WHICH HAS THE FACILITIES AND
METERS CHARGE, THEY'RE
STEADY CHARGES THE SAME
EVERY MONTH, COLLECTING MOST
OF THE REVENUE THROUGH THE
FIXED CHARGES.
>> OKAY.
SO THEN THE VOLUME METRIC
CHARGE, THAT'S THE PART
HOMEOWNERS OR BUSINESS
USERS, THAT'S THE
DISCRETIONARY PART THEY GET
TO CONTROL.
>> RIGHT.
>> BASED ON HOW MUCH WATER
THEY USE.
>> RIGHT.
YOU SEE A RATE DESIGN THAT
PUSHES FIXED COST INTO THE
VOLUME METRIC USAGE CHARGE
TO TRY TO PROMOTE
CONSERVATION BY MAKING THE
WATER USE MORE EXPENSIVE.
ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THE
RATE DESIGN IS THE ESSENTIAL
WATER USE USED IN THE HOUSE
IS LESS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE
YOU'RE RELYING ON SOME OF
YOUR RECOVERY ON HIGH USAGE,
WHETHER IT'S SEASONAL OR
JUST HIGHER USERS.
>> WELL, IT ALSO GIVES
PEOPLE THE ABILITY TO A
CERTAIN EXTENT, TO CONTROL
THEIR BILL BASED ON HOW MUCH
THEY USE AND THE TIME OF DAY
THEY USE IT AND WHATEVER.
>> YEP.
>> AND THAT'S IMPORTANT
BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT PEOPLE IN SOME OF THE
NEIGHBORHOODS ON THE WEST
SIDE OF RANCHO CORDOVA HAVE
COMPLAINED ABOUT IS THE FACT
THAT WHEN YOU ALL PURCHASE
WATER SYSTEMS IN OTHER PARTS
OF THE NORTH STATE THAT NEED
UPGRADES, EVERYONE'S A
AFRAID THAT THEY'RE PAYING
THE COST OF UPGRADING THOSE
OLDER SYSTEMS.
>> RIGHT.
>> OKAY.
THANK YOU.
>> THIS SLIDE DOES EXPLAIN A
LOT.
BECAUSE --
>> IT DOES.
>> THE MAJORITY OF
COMPLAINTS I GET ARE
OBVIOUSLY FROM, YOU KNOW, IN
RANCHO CORDOVA OR CALAM.
NOT GOLDEN STATE.
>> RIGHT.
>> I GET SOMETIMES WATER
QUALITY COMPLAINTS FROM
GOLDEN STATE.
NOT FROM CALAM FOR WHATEVER
REASON.
THE LOUDEST VOICES I HEAR ON
THE CALAM PROTEST LIST ARE
GARDENER WHO HAVE SEEN THEIR
WATER RATES JUST, YOU KNOW,
I DON'T KNOW QUINTUPLET OR
GO UP, THEN, FOLD OVER WHAT
THEY WERE USED TO.
SO IT'S BASICALLY FOR ALL
THE EFFORT WE TALK ABOUT,
YOU KNOW, LOCAL GROWN AND
FOR THE ORDINANCES --
>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
THOSE OF US WHO GROW FOOD.
>> YEAH.
BASICALLY PUT OUT OF
BUSINESS BY THIS LEVERAGED
PRICE THAT MAKES YOU PAY FOR
THE AMOUNT OF WATER YOU
USE.
I KNOW A FAMILY ACTUALLY IN
THE GOLDEN STATE SYSTEM THAT
IS SPENDING -- AND THEY'RE
NOT A HIGH-INCOME FAMILY BY
ANY MEANS.
BUT THEY'RE PROBABLY
SPENDING $4,000 A YEAR ON
WATER AT GOLDEN STATE TO
IRRIGATE A VERY, VERY
PRODUCTIVE PROBABLY QUARTER
TO THIRD ACRE LOT.
AND THEY'RE SITTING THIS
DOING THE MATH, GROWING ALL
THIS, BEING GREAT FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT, FOR OUR
NEIGHBORS, AND WE'RE JUST
GETTING PENALIZED TO HECK
FOR HAVING DONE THAT.
YOU KNOW, IF WE JUST PAVEED
IT ALL OVER, TURNED IT TO
ROCK, WE'D SAVE $5,000 A
YEAR AND GO TO THE FARMERS
MARKET.
>> YEAH.
>> THAT IS A STUPID CHOICE
FOR OUR POLICY.
>> IT IS ONE OF THE BIG
POLICY DISCUSSIONS STATEWIDE
WITH CALIFORNIA WATER RIGHT
NOW IS WHAT IS APPROPRIATE
OUTDOOR WATER USE.
AND WE GET GREAT VALUE IN
OUR COMMUNITY FROM OUR SHADE
TREES HERE.
THEY HELP REDUCE OUR
ELECTRICITY BILLS, HELP
REDUCE THE URBAN HEAT AND
THINGS.
>> AIR QUALITY.
>> AIR QUALITY.
>> YOU GO -- A WHOLE DEE AWE
TRIBE ON LAWNS AND AIR
QUALITY.
LAWNS ARE REMARKABLY POWER
TOOL TO MAINTAIN AIR QUALITY
BECAUSE OF HIGH METABOLISM.
Q.ON THE OTHER HAND, I THINK
THE STATE FEELS IT'S THE
ONLY TIME YOU WALK ON THE
LAWN IS TO MOW IT, PROBABLY
THINK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
SO THERE'S IS BALANCE
NEEDED.  THE COMMISSIONER ON
OUR CASE IS, I THINK, A
LIFELONG SACRAMENTO
RESIDENT.
CERTAINLY SHE LIVED HERE
MANY YEARS AND SERVED ON THE
SMUD BOARD BEFOREHAND.
IT'S A GOOD POLICY QUESTION
AND A GOOD QUESTION FOR THE
PUC TO CONSIDER IN OUR RATES
DESIGN IN THE FUTURE IS WHAT
IS THAT BALANCE OF
CONSERVATION AND AFFORD
ABILITY VERSUS THE NEED FOR
EFFICIENCY AND CURTAILING
WATER USE OUTDOORS.
IT'S ABOVE MY PAY GRADE.
>> COLLEAGUES, WITH AS WE
TALK ABOUT REPLACING DEAD
TREES AND DEALING WITH DEAD
TREES AND REPLACING STUMPS
WITH TREES, THIS IS THE
PROBLEM WE'LL RUN UP
AGAINST, BECAUSE WE'LL ASK
PEOPLE TO WATER THE TREES TO
TRY TO RESTORE OUR MISSING
CANOPY IN RANCHO CORDOVA,
AND THIS IS THE WARE
ABOUTIER THEY'LL RUN UP
AGAINST, BECAUSE NOW INSTEAD
OF HAVING, YOU KNOW, A $50
WATER BILL, SOME WILL HAVE
$75 WATER BILL BECAUSE THEY
HAVE TO WATER THE TREE.
>> SO THE OFFER I'D MAKE TO
YOU AND THE SUGGESTION I
WOULD HAVE, AND I'M SURE IT
STANDS FOR GOLDEN STATE
WATER IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY
AS WELL, COME TALK TO US
ABOUT IT AND SEE WHAT WE CAN
DO.
WE HAVE A LOT OF VERY GOOD
TECHNOLOGY, A LOT OF WAYS TO
MAKE IRRIGATION MORE
EFFICIENT.
WE HAVE PROGRAMS AND STAFF
MEMBERS DEDICATED TO HELPING
THE COMMUNITY TO CORDOVA
THAT.
IT WAS SOMETHING WE TALKED
ABOUT LAST WEEK WITH A
CUSTOMER, ABOUT -- I THINK
SHE GOT A -- I DON'T KNOW IF
IT WAS THE FROM THE CITY OR
TREE FOUNDATION.
I THINK IF WE WORK TOGETHER
AND PARTNER AND PROVIDE GOOD
INFORMATION, WE CAN HELP
CUSTOMERS PLANT TREES IN A
WAY THAT'S EFFICIENT WITH
WATER ZERO DOESN'T DRIVE UP
BILLS UNNECESSARILY.
>> GOOD.
VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU.
>> I WILL QUICKLY CLOSE ON A
POSITIVE NOTE.
INFRASTRUCTURE, WE ARE
BUILDING A LOT OF PROJECTS.
THE PROBABLY ONE MOST
RELEVANT THERE IS OUR
RIBBON-CUTTING WITH THE
CHAMBER AND COUNCILMAN
MCGARVEY, I THINK YOU'RE IN
THERE SOMEWHERE.
YEAH.
THERE YOU ARE.
BEHIND THE SCISSORS.
THAT WAS OUR TREATMENT PLANT
IN LINCOLN VILLAGE AREA WE
BUILT TWO YEARS AGO THAT'S
WORKING.
WE'RE ALSO BUILDING,
FINISHING OFF OUR NEED FOR
NEW STORAGE TANKS IN SOME OF
OUR SACRAMENTO AREA
SYSTEMS.
IN THIS CASE, REALLY TRYING
TO GET INTO PROGRAMMATIC
SPENDING FOR MAIN
REPLACEMENT BACKUP
GENERATORS, WHICH ARE
CONTINUING, EVEN THOUGH WE
HAVE GOOD GENERATORS.
THEY ARE QUALITY BOARD.
THEY GET OLD AND WE HAVE TO
REPLACE THEM TO MEET NEW AIR
QUALITY STANDARDS.
IMPROVEMENTS TO DROLL THE
SYSTEMS AND MONITOR REMOTELY
AND WELL INSTALLATIONS
ANDING REHABILITATION.
REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE GET
AHEAD OF THE CURVE ON OUR
WELL MAINTENANCE AND
REHABILITATION BECAUSE WE
HAVE A LOT OF THEM OUT HERE
AND THEY'RE CRITICAL OR FOR
OUR WATER SUPPLY.
>> SC ADA.
>> SYSTEM CONTROL AND DATA
ACQUISITION.
SO YEAH, SOMETHING
TECHNICAL.
THERE'S MY INFORMATION.
ANYTHING ELSE I CAN --
>> JUST.
I HAVE A CONSIDERATION FOR
STAFF.
MIKE IS HERE.
CYRUS.
AT SOME POINT, THESE WATER
RATES, AND I THINK CALA IS
ABOUT 38% HIGHER THAN GOLDEN
STATE.
ROUGHLY.
>> I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND
LOOK.
>> SOMEWHERE IN THERE.
AT SOME POINT THAT
BECOMES -- AND THEN -- AN
INHIBITION TO ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT.
THE WATER HIGH GETS SO HIGH
IN RANCHO CORDOVA THAT IF
YOU'RE A BUSINESS THAT WILL
USE WATER, IT BECOMES
PUNITIVE AND YOU CAN'T BE ON
THAT SIDE OF TOWN OR
SOMETHING.
I'M CURIOUS, YOU MIGHT WANT
TO TALK OFFLINE HOW OFTEN
IT'S HAPPENED AND EVAN, I
DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR
SOLUTION WOULD BE FOR THAT
PARTICULAR PROBLEM.
AS WE SEEK TO FIND WAYS TO
REDEVELOP, FOR EXAMPLE,
FOLSOM BOULEVARD, I DON'T
KNOW IF A RESTAURANT USER OR
AN APARTMENT COMPLEX,
WHATEVER, WOULD FIND THAT
SORT OF A WATER RATE OWN
OROUS IN CONTEXT TO THE
REGION AND ANOTHER DETRIMENT
NOT TO INVEST.
WHEN WE DESPERATELY NEED
PEOPLE FOR ALL SORTS OF
ENVIRONMENT REASONS AND
OTHERS TO TO DO THE
INVESTMENT AND INFILL.
>> WE'RE STILL PAYING LESS
THAN A PENNY A GALLON.
SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING
ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS IN
ANY COMMUNITY IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW.
I WOULD SAY WE'D HAVE
DIFFERENT RATE STRUCTURES
FOR COMMERCIAL,
UNDERSTANDING THAT A TIERED
RATE STRUCTURE THAT
INCREASES COSTS PER UNIT IS
NOT APPROPRIATE.
YOU CAN HAVE TWO RESTAURANTS
THE SAME SIZE, SAME FIXTURE
SAME DISHWASHER MODEL, ALL
THAT, AND ONE HAS BETTER
FOOD, SERVES TWICE AS MANY
AND USES TWICE AS MUCH WATER
PUP DONE WANT TO PUT TOO
MUCH OF AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN
ON THE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY
FOR THAT.
SO I THINK IT'S ALSO
SOMETHING CERTAINLY WORTH
TALKING TO THE PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION ABOUT.
I THINK THIS CROP OF
COMMISSIONERS, THIS GROUP,
IS MORE ATTUNED TO THE NEEDS
OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN
THIS STATE AND
AFFORDABILITY.
I THINK IT'S THE END WE'VE
SUCCESSFULLY WEATHERED THE
LARGEST DROUGHT IN RECORDED
HISTORY IN CALIFORNIA
HISTORY A COUPLE YEARS AGO
AND WE DID AND KEPT
CUSTOMERS IN WATER.
I THINK THE FOCUS IS
CHANGING DIFFERENT THINGS IN
TERMS OF AFFORDABILITY AND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
SO IT'S WORTH KEEPING THE
CONVERSATION UP.
>> OTHER QUESTIONS?
ALL RIGHT.
>> THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH
FOR HAVING ME.
>> OKAY.
I THINK WE ARE DONE WITH
FIVE.
ITEM NUMBER 6, PUBLIC
COMMENT.
CITIZENSHIPS WISHING TO
ADDRESS THE COUNCIL MAY DO
SO AT THIS TIME BY
COMPLETING AND SUBMITTING A
SPEAKER CARD TO THE CITY
CLERK.
FOR JAW ITEMS, THEY WILL BE
CALLED BY ME AT THE POINT
THE ITEM WILL BE HEARD.
SPEAKERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO
KEEP COMMENTS TO THREE
MINUTES OR LESS.
WE HAVE ANY CARDS TURNED
IN.
>> I DON'T HAVE ANY CARDS.
>> NO CARDS.
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO MAKE A
COMMENT?
GOING GOING GONE.
ALL RIGHT.
ITEM NUMBER 7, COUNCIL
REPORTS AND MR. MCGARVEY.
>> THANK YOU.
I'M SORRY I WASN'T ABLE TO
COME TO THE DEDICATION
CEREMONYORITY FUTURE USE
CENTER.
I'M GLAD YOU WERE AND E-MAIL
LOOKING FORWARD TO FINDING
OUT MORE ABOUT IT.
ONLY OTHER THING TO TALK
ABOUT IS THE MEETING WITH
THE CONTROL BOARD.
IT WAS KIND OF INTERESTING.
THEY WERE FEWER MOSQUITOES
AROUND AND YESTERDAY BECAUSE
OF ALL THE FLOODING AND THE
WATER WE HAD, THE YEAR
BEFORE, IN 2019, IT WAS WHEN
WE ENDED IT THERE IN THE
RAINY SEASON, BUT NOW THE --
WE HAVE ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF
OUR NORMAL AMOUNT OF
RAINFALL AND THEY'RE
EXPECTING MORE MOSQUITOES.
ALL THE WATER WE GOT FROM
ALL THE RAIN AND EVERYTHING
KIND OF FLOODED OUT SOME OF
THE PLACES THAT THE MOSQUITO
ES LIKE TO GO THROUGH THE
WINTER IN, AND THEY GOT KIND
OF FLOODED OUT.
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO
SEE WHAT HAPPENED WITH
THAT.
THAT'S BEEN LESS WEST NILE
VIRUS.
AND BUT THEY'RE WATCHING
THAT.
THEN THE NEW ONE THEY'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT IS THAT 80S
POPULATION, WHICH IS REALLY
IN CITRUS HEIGHTS.
THEY'RE WATCHING THAT VERY
CAREFULLY.
THEY DON'T HAVE IT ANYPLACE
ELSE YET.
BUT THAT WAS BROUGHT IN BY
SOMEONE WITH A PLANT.
SO THE USUAL THINGS THAT
THEY TALK ABOUT WAS MACH
SURE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY
STANDING WATER AND ALL THAT
SORT OF THING IN YOUR --
UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE
WATERING BUT JUST LET THINGS
STAND LIKE THAT, THAT DIDN'T
TAKE LONG FOR MOSQUITOES TO
MULTIPLY MANY TIMES.
SO PAY ATTENTION TO THAT.
AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
MS. BUDGE.
>> OKEYDOKEY.
REGIONAL TRANSIT MET, AND I
JUST ENCOURAGE ANYBODY.
WE'VE BEEN HEARING FROM
PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING OUT
THE SMART RIDE AND TRYING
OUT THE NEW BUS ROUTES OR
OLD NEW BUS ROUTES IN
RANCHO.
PLEASE BE SURE TO CONTINUE
TO LET US KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE
ACTUALLY WORKING.
SO FAR WE'RE NOT HEARING
ABOUT ANYTHING THAT'S
ACTUALLY WORKING.
MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN ONE OF
THESE DAYS.
BOB AND GARRETT AND I ATTEND
THE THE MOST MARVELOUS LUNCH
LAST WEEK WITH THE
AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED
STATES FROM KOREA.
AMBASSADOR LEE.
HE WAS HERE TO PRESENT
BEAUTIFUL PEACE METALS TO
THE PEOPLE WHO HAD FOUGHT IN
THE KOREAN WAR, AND HE DID
IT DOWNTOWN.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IT ON THE
TELEVISION.
THEN WE HAD A LUNCH.
WE ATTENDED A LUNCH WITH
HIM.
AND WE ALSO GAVE HIM A KEY
TO THE CITY.
HE IS IN VERY GOOD COMPANY.
THE ONLY OTHER AMBASSADOR
BAD ASKER WE HAVE PRESENTED
A KEY TO OR HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO MEET WITH WAS THE
AMBASSADOR FROM MOLDOVA.
VERY NICE GENTLEMAN.
HE BROUGHT THE NEW COUNCIL
GENERAL FROM SAN FRANCISCO
WITH HIM, MR. JUN YOUNG PARK
AND THEY HAVE PLEDGED TO
PROVIDE MORE BOOKS AND
MATERIALS FOR THE KOREAN
SECTION IN THE RANCHO
CORDOVA LIBRARY, WHICH IS
VERY NICE.
>> NICE.
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH
NOTING IN THE GRAPEVINE THAT
WE SHOULD CELEBRATE SOME
STUDENTS AT CORDOVA HIGH.
NOT JUST CORDOVA HIGH BUT
SOME RANCHO CORDOVA
STUDENTS.
STUDENTS AT CORDOVA HIGH
PARTICIPATED IN THE SAMSUNG
SOLVE FOR TOMORROW CONTEST
AND WON AWARDS IN STEM
SUBJECTS.
ALSO AT CORDOVA HIGH, THEY
HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH SAFE
CREDIT UNION.
SO THE BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY
ACADEMY PARTICIPATED IN THE
LATEST REALITY FAIR,
LEARNING BUDGETING SKILLS
FOR LIFE, WHICH, OF COURSE,
ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT,
THEN THE FUNNIEST THING,
SECOND GRADE STUDENTS AT
CORDOVA GARDENS HATCHED,
RAISED, AND RELEASED CHINOOK
SALMON.
OUR STUDENTS ARE DOING ALL
SORTS OFNESS FASCINATING
THINGS.
THE MAJORITY OF THIS REALLY
HAS TO DO WITH IT IS ALSO
ALWAYS SOMEHOW INTERTWINED
WITH STEM EDUCATION.
FOR INSTANCE, THEY SAY THAT
THE KIDS, THEY STUDIED THE
SCIENCE OF THE FISH, THEIR
LIFE CYCLED, THEY MEASURED
THEIR GROWTH, DREW THEIR DRY
GRAMS AND BY THE WAY, THEY
WROTE LETTERS TO THEIR
FISH.
OKEYDOKEY.
SO DEAR FISH.
DAVID AND THE RANCHO CORDOVA
SPORTS ACADEMY, SPORTS HALL
OF FAME.
>> RANCHO CORDOVA ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION OR HALL OF FAME,
WHICHEVER.
>> WHATEVER.
THEY DO A GREAT JOB IN
RECOGNIZING RANCHO CORDOVA
ATHLETES, BUT WE PROBABLY
SHOULD RECOGNIZE ALSO THAT
TWO OF OUR LOCAL ATHLETES
HAVE JUST BEEN INDUCTED TO
THE SACRAMENTO SPORTS HALL
OF FAME.
ACTUALLY, THEY'LL BE
INDUCTED NEXT SATURDAY.
SO RANDY LURCH, WHO IS A
WONDERFUL BASEBALL PLAYER,
HE GREW UP HERE.
HIS FAMILY WAS A PARTICIPANT
OVER MANY DECADE IN RANCHO
CORDOVA.
HE PLAYED WITH THE
PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES, THE
BREWERS, MONTREAL, AND
SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS.
SO HE WOULD BE VERY PROUD OF
THOSE TEAMS TODAY.
AND THEN ALSO GERALD
WILHEIGHT, A FOOTBALL PLAYER
AT CORDOVA.
HOWEVER HE WAS AN
EXCEPTIONAL FOOTBALL -- NO.
I'M SORRY.
HE WAS NOT A FOOTBALL AT
CORDOVA.
IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
HE WENT ON TO PLAY FOOTBALL
AT COLLEGE AND IN THE MINOR
LEAGUES EVEN THOUGH HE NEVER
PLAYED FOOTBALL AT CORDOVA
HIGH.
HE WAS A WRESTLER AT CORDOVA
HIGH.
I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH
CELEBRATING THEIR
ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND THE
PARK DISTRICT HAS JUST
DELIVERED TO US THEIR
CURRENT FLYER ON ALL THE
DIFFERENT CLASSES THAT ALL
OF US AND OUR CHILDREN CAN
TAKE, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING, THE
DIVERSITY OF PROGRAMS THEY
ARE DOING TODAY.
FINALLY, I THINK IT'S
APPROPRIATE THAT WE ADJOURN
TONIGHT IN MEMORY OF THE
GRANDER MOTHER WHO WAS
KILLED IN THE ACCIDENT THE
OTHER DAY.
IT'S AN INCREDIBLY SAD EVENT
AND OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO HER
FAMILY.
THANK YOU, DAVID.
THE NAME WAS RELEASED AT ONE
POINT, BUT IN THE NEWSPAPER
IT SAID THE FAMILY ASKED NOT
TO HAVE THE NAME RELEASED.
>> OKAY.
VERY GOOD.
>> THANK YOU.
>> MR. TERRY.
>> WELL, I'LL ECHO WHAT
WE'VE ALREADY HEARD A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT.
BUT THE CENTER FOR PRAISE
CONTRIBUTION TO OUR
COMMUNITY WITH THE YOUTH
FACILITY, I THINK, IS A
VERY, VERY EXCITING TIME FOR
OUR COMMUNITY AND MY THANKS,
CYRUS, TO YOU AND STAFF AND
EVERYBODY ELSE WHO HELPED
MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.
IT REALLY, REALLY IS
EXCITING, ESPECIALLY, AND
I'LL JUST HAVE TO READILY
ADMIT THIS.
I DROVE OVER THERE AND, YOU
KNOW, YOU SAW WHAT LOOKED
LIKE AN OPERATING BUILDING
THERE AND CHURCH AND THEN
THERE WAS A BOARD UP ONE
ACROSS THE STREET.
I ASSUMED WE WERE GETTING
THE BOARDED UP ONE ACROSS
THE STREET UNTIL I GOT THERE
YESTERDAY.
SO EVEN MORE EXCITING TO
REALIZE WHAT KIND OF AN
AMAZING FACILITY WE'RE
ACTUALLY GOING TO BE
INHERITING.
GARRETT AND I BOTH ATTENDED
THE TWO BY TWO OF SAC CITY
UNIFIED FOR THE NEW YEAR.
THIS WAS OUR FIRST ONE IN
QUITE A WHILE, I THINK.
I DON'T THINK WE HAD ONE
LAST SEMESTER.
BUT IT'S A LITTLE TOUGH OVER
THERE WHEN IT COMES TO
BUDGETS AND EVERYBODY CAN
READ ABOUT WHAT'S GOING P ON
IN THE B.
WHAT'S INTERESTING, I DID
ASK I WANT TO SAY IN EARLY
DECEMBER, BECAUSE I KNOW WE
HAD SCHEDULED AT SOME POINT
FOR THE SUPERINTEND TO COME
AND PRESENT AND TALK ABOUT
THE SUMMER PROGRAM WE
FUNDED, AND I WAS WONDERING
WHY I HADN'T SEEN HIM YET.
I REALIZED IT WAS THE NIGHT
I CAME IN ABOUT 8:00 TO VOTE
ON THE ITEM.
HE CAME EARLIER THAT NIGHT
AND I DIDN'T SEE HIM.
THEY'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE
OBVIOUSLY OF WHAT WE'RE
DOING FOR THEM.
THE REALLY, REALLY
INTERESTING THING, AND I'LL
SHARE IT.
I DON'T KNOW GARRETT, WHEN
YOU SPEAK, IF YOU HAVE ANY
MORE TO ADD.
BUT ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS
AND THE SUPERINTENDENT
ACTUALLY ASKED FOR
PERMISSION TO DO THIS BUT I
GUESS HE WAS ALREADY DOING
IT.
BUT THEY'RE REALLY KIND OF
LEANING ON THE CITY.
I KNOW THERE'S INITIATIVE ON
EARMARKING FUNDS FOR YOUTH.
BUT THE SUPERINTENDENT AND
GOING AROUND THE REGION
ESPECIALLY IN THE ASSOCIATE
OF SACRAMENTO AND THE MAYOR
TO POINT OUT THE KINDS OF
INVESTMENTS WE MAKE HERE AND
WHY OTHER CITIES SHOULD BE
STEPPING UP TO DO WHAT WE DO
HERE.
IT WAS ECHOED A FEW YEARS
AGO WHEN I WAS MAYOR AT THE
TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF SUNRISE
ELEMENTARY.
THE PRINCIPAL SAID HE HAD
NEVER SEEN THE CITY FUN THE
THINGS WE FUND.
YEAH, WE'RE A UNIQUE CITY.
ANOTHER IS WE PASSED MEASURE
H AND TAXPAYERS ENTRUSTED US
WITH A LOT MORE RESOURCES
THAN OTHER CITIES IN THE
REGION.
BUT EVEN THE CITIES THAT
HAVE PASSED THEIR OWN
VERSION OF IT AREN'T DOING@WHAT.
IT IS BECAUSE OF WHO WE ARE
AND OUR FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
BUT ALSO SPEAKS TO THE KINDS
OF PARTNERSHIPS AND BRIDGES
WE'VE BUILT IN THE
COMMUNITY.
AND HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY BEING
HELD UP AS THE STANDARD IN
THIS REGION FOR HOW TO
PARTNER WITH YOUR CITY.
AND FINALLY, THE DISTRICT
HAS NOT MET THIS YEAR.
WE'LL MEET THURSDAY.
STAY TUNED.
MORE STUFF MAYBE TO MEET
NEXT MONTH.
>> VERY WELL PUT.
THANK YOU.
MR. GATEWOOD.
>> MET THE 20 THOUGHT
LEADERS OF THE SACRAMENTO
REGION, TALKING ABOUT HOW
THEY'RE TRYING TO PLANT JOBS
IN RANCHO CORDOVA.
MEETING WITH THE TECH
COUNCIL, AND I'M LOOKING TO
SET UP OUR FIRST ROUND OF
ANGEL INVESTORS THAT WILL
FIND TECH COMPANIES AND
PLANT THEM INTO OUR CITY.
VERY EXCITING.
GOING TO MEET WITH CYRUS AND
BRING THE WHOLE GROUP
TOGETHER AND SEE HOW IT
ACTUALLY WORKS.
KP IN INTERNATIONAL HAVING
AN AMBASSADOR FLY IN TO COME
TO OUR CITY TO GO AND HAVE
LUNCH AT OUR GROCERY STORE
IS AMAZING.
NOW, I DON'T THINK ANYONE
REALLY UNDERSTANDS HOW
AMAZING THIS IS.
THIS IS A GENTLEMAN THAT
ACTUALLY SAT ON THE OTHER
SIDE AND NEGOTIATED WITH KIM
JONG UN AND HIS DAD AND
DISCUSSED ABOUT THE GETTING
RID OF NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY
AND HE ACTUALLY HAD PEOPLE
AT THIS GROUP STAND UP AND
ASK QUESTIONS WHERE HE
TRUTHFULLY ANSWERED WHAT HE
THOUGHT ABOUT NUKE CLEAR
PROLIFERATION, HOW TO GET
RID OF IT, HOW SCARED --
MIND BLOWN.
THEY CAME IN TO OUR GROCERY
STORE TO HANG OUT WITH US
BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A
HIGHLIGHT OF WHAT KP
INTERNATIONAL IS DOING IN
THE REGION, NOT JUST THE
GROCERY STORE BUT NOW THE
KARAOKE BAR AND NEXT TO IT,
THE PLAZA AND THE AMAZING
THINGS.
IT'S AMAZING HOW WELL
CONNECTED WE ARE IN THE
REGION.
SAC CITY UNIFIED, THE OTHER
THING DONALD DOESN'T BRING
UP IS WHAT A GREAT
RELATIONSHIP WE ACTUALLY
HAVE WITH THEM.
TO THE POINT WHERE, LIKE, I
DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I'VE
HEARD WE HAD A MORE OF
AGGRESSIVE RELATIONSHIP, AND
NOW THEY'RE WILLING TO
BASICALLY DO WHATEVER THEY
CAN TO HELP OUT THE RANCHO
CORDOVA SCHOOLS AND IT'S
NICE TO SEE SCHOOL DISTRICT
SEEING WHAT THEY CAN DO TO
COME TO US.
NOT DOME THAT, AND THEY HAVE
A LOT OF INSIDE SPEAK AND
BALL GAME BECAUSE HE USED TO
SIT ON THE BOARD.
READY FOR THE STRIKE?
I DON'T KNOW.
BLAH BLAH.
THEN SO IT'S TERRIBLE WHAT'S
HAPPEN IN THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF
THERE'S A STRIKE SOON.
ONE HOPE RIBBON CUTTING.
GOOD TO HELP OUT OUR
WE RIGHT NOW, SO EVERYOE
KNOWS.
WE ARE RIGHT NOW THEY ARE
TALKING ABOUT MEASURE A.
RANCHO CORDOVA IS DECIDED TO
TEAK A VERY BIG STANCE IN
MEASURE A AND SEE WHAT WE
CAN DO TO GET THE MOST MONEY
FOR OUR ROADS.
OUR VOTERS WERE VERY CLEAR
TO ME, BECAUSE THEY TIP THE
POLLS AND SAID THEY CARE
MOSTLY ABOUT ROADS AND
FIXING POTHOLES.
SO I'M GOING AT IT TO GET AS
MUCH MONEY BACK TO RANCHO
CORDOVA TO FIX OUR ROADS AND
POTHOLES.
WE -- A LOT MORE TO COME.
I'VE GATHERED A LOT OF
CITIES AROUND US AND WE'LL
SEE WHAT TO DO TO GET A
70/30 SPLIT AND GET AS MUCH
TOWARDS OUR ROADS SO WE HAVE
BETTER ROADS IN RANCHO.
THAT'S BASICALLY IT.
CENT EFFLUENT OF PRAISE DID
AN AMAZING THING.
SOMETHING THAT WILL AFFECT
RANCHO CORDOVA LONG AFTER
I'M DEAD BY PUTTING A YOUTH
CENTER, ALLOWING US TO HAVE
SOMETHING.
SO I'M MORE EXCITED ABOUT
THE FACT THAT ONCE THE TAXES
WE HAVE TO PAY THE P COUNTY
BECAUSE THE CITY BECAME
AVAILABLE, THERE ARE SO
THINGS WE CAN DO IN THE AREA
AND THERE'S ROOM TO GROW PAY
DEAD PIECE OF LAND, OLD
TRAILER SOMEWHERE IN THE
COULD BEER BUT I REALLY FEEL
WE'LL HAVE A BASKETBALL
SORRY.
THEY DON'T NEED ALL THE PARK
PING.
THERE'S A COURT THERE
SOMEWHERE.
WENT TO THE DOWNTOWN
BREAKFAST.
REPRESENTED THE CITY.
SAY A POT OF MY
COUNTERPARTS.
IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE
WHAT -- I MEAN, BESIDES THE
FACT WE HAVE TWICE THE
BUSINESSES OPENING THAT THEY
DO IN DOWNTOWN SAC.
LIKE TWICE.
THEY'RE SPOTLIGHTING A
BURGER JOINT OR SOMETHING
AND I WAS LIKE REALLY?
I CAN COUNT ON A HAND
PROBABLY 15 TO 20 BUSINESSES
THAT OPENED THE SAME TIME
THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN
THE ONE.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE
SPACE.
THEY'RE DEALING WITH THE
SAME THING WE ARE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
COMMUNITY'S DOING.
WE'RE TRYING OUR BEST TO
DEAL WITH THE HOMELESS
PROBLEM.
THEIR HOMELESS PROBLEM PALES
IN COMPARISON AND THEY'RE
SLEEPING ON THE STREETS AND
TRYING TO COME UP WITH NEW
IDEAS.
IT'S A PROBLEM WE'RE ALL
TACKLING TOGETHER AND TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET
THROUGH BUT IT'S REALLY
AFFECTING THE BUSINESS
CULTURE NOW IN THE BIGGER
CITIES.
AND LASTLY, MY HEART FROM
THE COMMUNITY GOES OUT TO
KEN HENDERSON, WHO'S A
VIBRANT PERP.
HE LOST HIS BROTHER LAST
WEEK IN A TRAGIC, HORRIBLE
SITUATION AND SO WE ALL
GRIEVE WITH HIM RIGHT NOW
AND WISH HIM NOTHING BUT THE
BEST FOR HIM AND HIS
FAMILY.
>> VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT.
THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY WEEK
DEFINITELY WAS YESTERDAY
WITH THE SENATE OF PRAISE --
CENTER OF PRAISE AND BLESSED
COMMUNITY, AS THEY SAID,
COME TOGETHER FOR THIS
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF
RANCHO CORDOVA.
AND I'M SO PROUD OF OUR
STAFF ORGANIZING THAT TO
HAPPEN ON DR. KING'S
HOLIDAY.
I THOUGHT WAS JUST GENIUS,
BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD SUCH A
DREAM AS A COMMUNITY, HOPING
FOR SOME SORT OF FACILITY
LIKE THIS FOR OUR YOUTH.
AND TO HAVE THAT ON
DR. KING'S DAY, OBVIOUSLY,
HE'S ASSOCIATED WITH DREAM
AS WELL.
HAVING A DREAM COME TRUE FOR
OUR KIDS ON HIS DAY WAS JUST
PERFECT.
SO I'M REALLY, REALLY
EXCITED.  MIGHT BET MOST
IMPORTANT THING THAT HAPPENS
THIS YEAR IN RANCHO
CORDOVA.
I ALSO TENDED CORDOVA BAND
BOOSTERS EVENT WITH
MR. MCCARVEY SATURDAY
NIGHT.
THE CORDOVA BAND BOOSTERS
PUT ON GREAT EVENT.
TWO YEAR.
THERE'S A CRAB FEED.
IN SEPTEMBER BOB I THINK
THERE'S A STEAK FEED IF I
REMEMBER RIGHT.
THEY ARE DOING A WESTERNFUL
JOB.
WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THE
EVENTS, THE BAND SHOWS UP
AND PERFORMS RIGHT IN FRONT
OF YOU.
YOU HAVE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS
OF THE BAND, THE WHOLE BAND,
THE DRUM SECTION, JAZZ
SECTION.
THINGS LIKE THAT ARE
HAPPENING.
IT'S LOUD BUT REALLY
ENJOYABLE.
SO I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU
IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO ATTEND A CORDOVA BAND
BOOSTERS EVENT TO DO SO.
AT SACOG LAST WEEK I ENDED
MY YEAR AS CHAIR OF SACOG.
AND I WAS HONORED TO HAVE
KEN COOLY SHOW UP AND SORT
OF PRESENT A TRIBUTE TO ME
AND TRULY ONE OF THOSE
GIGANTIC ASSEMBLY SENATE
JOINT RESOLUTION THINGS.
KEN TALKED ABOUT RANCHO
CORDOVA AND THE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF RANCHO
CORDOVA AND THE CONTEXT OF
HONORING ME FOR MY YEAR AS
SACOG CHAIR.
I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU
ALL.
THERE IS PROBABLY A VIDEO
SOMEWHERE ON LINE HE MADE
AVAILABLE.
MAYBE JUST HEAR HIM REFLECT
ON WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED
IN RANCHO CORDOVA AND WHAT
OUR FUTURE LOOKS LIKE.
IT'S T WAS A VERY NICE
TRIBUTE BY HIM.
I'M EXTREMELY APPRECIATIVE
OF WHAT HE SAID.
JANUARY LUNCHEON.
I GAVE AN OUTLOOK FOR 2020.
NOW I KNOW MOST OF ARE YOU
DRAWN AWAY BY AN AMBASSADOR,
BUT THAT'S OKAY.
WE STILL SET A RECORD.
>> WE'RE SORRY.
[LAUGHTER]
Q.FOR OUR JANUARY LUNCHEON.
>> I CAME.
>> OH, I'M SORRY.
YES.
DONALD WAS THERE.
I WAS LOOKING ELSEWHERE WITH
MY --
>> I WAS GOING TO GO BUT YOU
SAID I WAS REQUIRED TO GO
OVER THERE.
>> I GAVE YOU A MISSION.
TRUE.
>> YOU DO WHAT THE MAYOR
SAYS.
I WAS INVITED TO THAT
LUNCHEON.
>> YEAH.
>> AND I STILL --
>> YOU STILL CAME TO SUPPORT
THE CITY.
THAT WAS FUN.
>> ARE YOU ON TAPE, DAVID.
>> I THINK SO, YEAH.
I'M NOT CERTAIN, THOUGH.
>> THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
>> YEAH.
I THINK SOMEONE LIVESTREAMED
IT IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
>> WE HAVE IT ON TAPE.
>> OKAY.
VERY GOOD.
I'VE BEEN A SPEAKER AT
VINES.
SPENT TIME WITH THE RCPD,
TALKING ABOUT GROWING STRONG
NEIGHBORHOODS AND GIVING
CITY HISTORY.
AND I THINK THAT IS MY
REPORT FOR THE PAST COUPLE
WEEKS.
MR. MCGARVEY.
>> YES.
I LIKE TO ADD A LITTLE BIT
MORE.
LINDA TALKED ABOUT THE
AMBASSADOR AND SO DID
GARRETT AND BEFORE THEY ALL
SHOWED UP, I TALKED TO BJ,
THE OWNER OF THE PLAZA.
AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING THAT WE WILL NEVER
FORGET IS WHAT THE SOLDIER'S
AND VETERANS HAVE DONE IN
KOREA FOR US.
AND HE HAS -- I'M GETTING
NAMES RIGHT NOW.
IT STRUCK ME AS SOMETHING
YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT IS
THAT HOW MUCH THE PEOPLE IN
KOREA APPRECIATE WHAT WE DID
IN THE KOREAN WAR.
>> VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU, BOB.
MR. CITY MANAGER, YOUR
REPORT.
>> THANK YOU.
I'LL MAKE MY REPORT VERY
BRIEF.
JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT, I
THINK, THE TOPIC OF THE
YOUTH CENTER AND HOW IT CAME
ABOUT HAS BEEN MENTIONED,
BUT I WANTED TO BE SURE THE
COUNSEL AND THE COMMUNITY
UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS DREAM
COULDN'T HAVE COME TRUE IF
IT WASN'T FOR THE AMAZING
WORK OR GROUP, THE OFFICERS
DE LA CRUZ AND OTHERS WHO
PLAYED A VERY KEY ROLE IN
MAKING THIS DREAM COME
THROUGH.
SO WANTED TO BE SURE.
I THINK HE WAS HERE BUT I
THINK HE LEFT BUT I JUST
WANTED TO THE SURE THE
COUNSELS SPELL COMMUNITY'S
AWARE THE AMAZING WORK THEY
DID BEHIND THE SCENES.
BY MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
AND BY CREATING THE
RELATIONSHIP THAT WE NEEDED
TO GAIN THEIR TRUST OF THE
CENTER OF PRAISE FOR THIS
DREAM TO COME TO REALITY.
THANK YOU.
>> OKAY.

>> MAYOR SANDER.
>> AYE.
THAT BRINGS US BACK TO --
OOPS.
WE NEED TO REPORT A RESULT.
THAT LEAVES ITEM 10.1 AND
LINDA.
>> DO YOU WANT TO READ IT
IN? MONTELENA VILLAGE 7 TENTATI 
SUBDIVISION MAP AMENDMENT. 
DD9920.  NORTHWEST CORNER OF 
CHRYSANTHY BOULEVARD AND RANCHO 
CORDOVA PARKWAY.
>> OPENING PUBLIC HEARING ON
THE ITEM.
>> OKAY.
SO I SIMPLY -- AND I
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT
IT'S A DISAGREEMENT BUT I
SIMPLY DISAGREED WITH THE
AMENDMENT TO THE STREET --
TO ONE PART OF THE A.M. TO
THE STREET LAYOUT.
AND I HAD A CHANCE TO TALK
TO THE ENGINEER.
HOWEVER, I HAVE NO PROBLEM
WITH PERSONALLY WITH THEM
CHANGING THE DWELLING UNIT
TYPE, THE PRODUCT TYPE.
HOWEVER, THE STREET THAT
THEY ARE LABELING F STREET,
WHICH ISING ACTUALLY
COBBLE -- NO, BORDER LANDS,
OKAY.
WHICH I'M INFORMED IS BORDER
LANDS, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE,
IT SHOULD REMAIN OPEN TO
AUTOMOBILES AS WELL AS
PEDESTRIANS.
>> THE ORIGINAL PLAN CALLED FOR
ACCESS TO RANCHO CORDOVA PARK
WAY AS DOUGLAS, AT COBBLEBROOK I
THINK IT IS CALLED, ADD
BORDERLANDS OR F STREET AND AT
CHRYSANTHY.
THE NEW FIRE STATION WILL BE ON
THE NORTH SIDE OF COBBLEBROOK
AND IF THAT LOWER STREET, F
STREET IS CUTOFF FROM SECULAR
TRAFFIC THAT MEANS THAT
EVERYBODY ON RANCHO CORDOVA PARK
WAY IS GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO
CHRYSANTHY AND ALL THE WAY IN TO
WHATEVER THAT INTERIOR STREET
IS, TO ACCESS THAT LOWER PART OF
VILLAGE 7.
OR ANY PART OF VILLAGE 7 WHICH
IS WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING RIGHT
NOW.
AND JUST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
THAT STREET OUGHT TO BE OPENED.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO GO
AHEAD TO DISCUSS IT TONIGHT OR
CONTINUE IT.
OR WHAT --
DOES ANYBODY ELSE THINK?
PROBABLY NOBODY BUT ME LOOKED AT
IT!
>> THE NATURE OF THE AMENDMENT
IS TO CLOSE OFF F-WAY.
>> CORRECT.
>> SO IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ONE
OF THE PLASTIC COUNTY WHITE
BARRICADE, YOU KNOW, WE PLAN TO
PUT A STREET IN BUT WE NEVER GOT
AROUND TO IT SORT OF LOOK.
THIS WOULD BE A SOLID WALL.
>> ACTUALLY THEY PROPOSED TO DO
A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE.
>> PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION ONLY.
>> A DRAINAGE CHANNEL THERE.
SO BECAUSE, NO OFFENSE GUYS BUT
IT STRUCK HE ME THAT MAYBE THEY
WERE TRYING TO SAVE MONEY IN NOT
PUTTING A WHOLE BRIDGE ACROSS
THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL BUT THAT
WAS NOT THEIR INTENT.
THAT THEY SIMPLY THOUGHT IT
WOULD PREVENT CUT-THROUGH
TRAFFIC AND MY PERSPECTIVE IS
THAT CUT-THREW TRAFFIC IS NOT A
BAD THING AND I DON'T THINK
ANYBODY WILL CUT THROUGH ANYWAY.
IT IS NOT JUST CUT-THREW TRAFFIC
IT IS SIMPLY PROVIDING MORE
ROUTES FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN AND
OUT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD WE
KNOW THEY WILL NOT ALL BICYCLE
OR WALK AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE
THEM TO, ESPECIALLY NOT OUT TO
MAJOR THOROUGHFARE LIKE RANCHO
CORDOVA PARK WAY.
>> WHAT IS IMPACT ON THE BICYCLE
OR PEDESTRIAN NETWORK WITH THIS
PROPOSED CHANGE?
>> I HAVE NO CLUE.
>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR SANDER AND
COUNCIL MEMBERS, ALBERT STRIKER
WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS
DEPARTMENT.
THERE ABOUT WERE A FEW
BACKGROUND ITEMS THAT DIRECTED
US IN TO CONSIDERING THIS AS A
BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
RATHER THAN A VEHICULAR
CROSSING.
ONE OF THOSE IS THE PROXIMITY
BETWEEN COBBLE BROOK AND
BORDERLANDS IS LESS THAN A
QUARTER MILE SPACING.
THERE IS A PROPOSED SIGNAL AT
THE INTERSECTION OF COBBLEBROOK
AND RANCHO CORDOVA PARKWAY AND
SINCE THIS INTERSECTION OF
BORDERLANDS IS CLOSER THAN A
QUARTER MILE, IT TYPICALLY
SIGNALS DO NOT OPERATE
EFFICIENTLY WHEN THEY ARE THAT
CLOSE.
SO THEREFORE, BORDERLANDS IS NOT
SLATED TO RECEIVE A SIGNAL AT
THAT LOCATION.
A NON SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION ON
FOUR-LANE STREET WOULD TYPICALLY
HAVE LIMITED ACCESS.
SO THROUGH ACCESS WOULD
TYPICALLY NOT BE FEASIBLE ON A
ROAD OF THIS SIZE.
IT WOULD BE LIMITED ACCESS TO
LEFT-INS OR THE COUPLE OF OTHER
CONFIGURATIONS THAT WILL
FUNCTION --
>> SOUNDS LIKE IT WOULD BE RIGHT
IN, RIGHT OUT.
>> WOULD BE RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT,
THERE ARE SOME OPTIONS FOR
LIMITED LEFTS, BUT THAT LIMITS
THE OTHER LEG.
SO THAT IS ONE SECTION OF IT.
THE INTENTION WAS TO DIRECT
VEHICULAR TRAVELLERS EITHER TO
ACCESS COBBLE BROOK FROM THE
NORTH IF THEY ARE SOUTHBOUND OR
CHRYSANTHY IF THEY ARE
NORTHBOUND IN ORDER TO GET TO
THE STREET, FRONTING THE PARK
AND THE APARTMENTS.
THE OTHER TO ANSWER MAYOR
SANDER, YOUR QUESTION, FROM A
BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN
STRANDPOINT, THERE IS A BIKE
PATH AND PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY ON
BOTH SIDES OF RANCHO CORDOVA
PARK WAY AND THE INTENTION WAS
SINCE THIS WOULD BE LIMITED
ACCESS ALREADY THE CONSIDERATION
WAS TO REMOVE ANOTHER
INTERSECTION FROM THAT BICYCLE
AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS.
AND ALLOW A MORE CONTINUOUS AND
BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS ON
RANCHO CORDOVA PARKWAY AND THEN
IN ADDITION, EAST/WEST THROUGH
THIS, THE NORTH SIDE OF PROPOSED
VILLAGE 7, ACCESSING THE FUTURE
WETLAND PRESERVE THAT HAS A
BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAIL
AROUND THE ENTIRE PERIMETER OF
IT.
AND THE PARK THAT IS ON THE
SOUTH SIDE OF THE PRESERVE.
THAT IS SOME OF THE BACKGROUND
THAT LEANED IN THIS DIRECTION.
BUT I'M CERTAINLY OPEN TO ANY
INPUT FROM CITY COUNCIL.
>> AS I READ THIS, PEDESTRIAN
AND BICYCLE TRAFFIC IS STILL
ACCESSIBLE?
>> RIGHT.
>> FROM NEIGHBORHOOD TO TRAILS
ALONG RANCHO CORDOVA PARK WAY.
>> CORRECT.
>> IT IS SIMPLY PERHAPS THREE
MOVEMENTS OUT OF FOUR OF
VEHICULAR TRAFFIC THAT ARE BEING
REMOVED?
>> CORRECT IF THE LEFT LEG DOES
IN IT HAVE VEHICULAR ACCESS,
THEN YOU COULD HAVE A NUMBER OF
CONFIGURATIONS FOR BORDERLANDS
TO THE EAST, PROVIDES MORE
POTENTIAL OPTIONS.
YO ANY OTHER COUNCIL COMMENTS ON
THIS ONE?
>> WE SHOULD PROBABLY HEAR FROM
THE APPLICANT.
>> (INAUDIBLE).
>> IT IS ME --
>> DESIGN OF THIS, THE
APPLICANT'S IDEA OR STAFF'S
IDEA?
>> FOR WHAT SHE IS ASKING FOR,
WHERE DID THIS DESIGN COME FROM?
>> PROPOSED BICYCLE AND
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING WAS
COLLABORATION BETWEEN STAFF AND
THE APPLICANT.
>> WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO
COME IN ON THIS?
COUNCIL MEMBERS MARK HANSEN WITH
MONTELENA.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN 15
YEARS WE HAVE EVER DISAGREED
WITH MEMBER BUDGE.
BUT OUR INTENT WAS TO TRY TO
MAKE A MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY
COMMUNITY.
REASON WE LOVE DOING BUSINESS IN
THE CITY WE HAVE A HIGHER
QUALITY VISION AND WE DO, TOO.
THIS DEFINITELY IS NOT
COST-RELATED.
WE ARE AGREEING TO ADDITIONAL
QUALITY LIKE DECORATIVE STREET
LIGHTS, INTERSECTION BUILD-OUTS,
SEPARATE SIDEWALKS, PEDESTRIAN
BRIDGES IT IS ALL IMPORTANT AND
WHAT GOES INTO A QUALITY
COMMUNITY.
AND THAT IS WHAT WE THINK THAT
THIS PEDESTRIAN ACCESS DOES.
A CONTINUOUS PEDESTRIAN PLATFORM
TRAIL ALONG RANCHO CORDOVA
PARKWAY AS MR. STRICKER SAID.
AND SO WE DON'T SEE A PROBLEM
FROM A TRAFFIC PERSPECTIVE AND
WE THINK IT CREATES A MORE
PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY.
AND THAT IS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY,
BUT THEN, I ALSO HAVE TO SAY, WE
ARE SO FAR DOWN THE PATH ON OUR
MAP AND IMPROVEMENT PLANS THAT
ANY CHANGES NOW COULD DELAY US
TO ACHIEVING OUR APRIL GOAL TO
BREAK GROUND AND DO A LOT OF
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN
THIS NECK OF THE WOODS.
WITH THAT IN MIND HAPPY TO
ANSWE ANY QUESTIONS.
>> ALL RIGHT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS FROM
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC?
OR COUNCIL MEMBERS?
OKAY.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE A MOTION ON THE ITEM?
>> MOVE ITEM.
>> SECOND.
>> MOTION MADE AND SECONDED.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?
ALL RIGHT, ROLL CALL PLEASE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER McGARVEY.
>> AYE.
>> CHECK TERRY.
>> AYE.
>> CHECK BUDGE.
>> I WILL ABSTAIN.
>> VICE-MAYOR GATEWOOD.
>> AYE.
>> MAYOR SANDER.
>> AYE.
>> NEW SYSTEM --
(INAUDIBLE) ABSTENTION ALLOWED
IT.
COOL.
>> THANK YOU ALL.
>> I THINK THERE IS A FORM ATING
ISSUE WE CAN WORK ON HERE.
>> IT IS A CONTROL MINUS MINUS
TO MOVE IT BACK OUT.
>> ITEM 11, CLERK PLEASE READ
THE ITEM.
>> ORDINANCE AMENDING MUNICIPAL
CODE AND RESOLUTIONS RELATED TO
RENTAL HOUSING.
>> OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.
REQUEST TO CONTINUE TO IT
FEBRUARY 3.
IS THAT CORRECT, STAFF?
>> I WILL --
>> CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
>> MOVE WE CONTINUE ITEM TO
FEBRUARY 3rd.
>> WERE THERE ANY COMMENTS,
CARDS TURNED IN ON THE ITEM.
>> NO.
VERY GOOD MOTION MADE, SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> MOTION MADE AND SECONDED.
ROLL CALL, PLEASE FOR
CONTINUATION?
>> EXCUSE ME, MR. MAYOR, COULD
YOU NOT CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING
THAT WAY WE --
>> REOPEN PUBLIC HEARING.
>> AND JUST LEAVE IT OPEN.
>> THANK YOU.
>> UNCLOSED.
>> DO YOU WANT --
>> CAN I MAKE A PARLIAMENTARY
INQUIRY IF WE ARE CONTINUING
ITEM WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION?
>> YES.
>> BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO
PROCEED, YOU ARE AFFIRMATIVELY
DECIDING THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO
DO THAT BUSINESS TONIGHT.
SO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON IT, YOU --
>> ONCE ON THE AGENDA WE HAVE
TAKEN THE POSITION THAT ONCE IT
IS ON THIS AGENDA IT IS
SOMETHING THAT IT BELONGS TO
YOU, NOT TO US.
>> TO YOU WANT ME TO AMEND THE
OPEN, PUT THAT INTO THE MOTION?
>> YES, PLEASE.
>> OKAY.
SO I WILL MOVE THAT WE CONTINUE
A.M. TO FEBRUARY 3rd, AND THE
PUBLIC HEARING WILL REMAIN OPEN.
>> SECOND.
>> MOTION MADE AND SECONDED.
KEEP ITEM OPEN AND MOVE UNTIL
FEBRUARY 3rd, 2020.
ROLL CALL, PLEASE?

>> OKAY.
SO MOVE AHEAD TO THE NEXT
SOFTWARE ON THE LIST.
WHICH WAS ON BASE.
THAT IS UNLESS THE CITY CLERK'S
OFFICE.
SO WITH ADDITIONAL RECENT
UPGRADES IN TECHNOLOGY THE CITY
IS TRANSITIONING OUR POSITORY
HOLDING PLACE FOR CITY RECORDS.
CITY PURCHASED ON BASE SYSTEM TO
ALSO REPLACE SIRE AND SERVE AS
THE CITY'S REPOSITORY.
SIRE HOLDS RECORD FOR CITY
CLERK'S OFFICE AS WELL AS
FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
ON BASE IS ROBUST CLOUD-BASED
SOFTWARE WITH BETTER FEATURES TO
MANAGE CITY RECORDS AND THE NEW
SYSTEM WILL BE ABLE TO DO SOME
OF THE FOLLOWING.
ALLOW THE CITY TO HAVE MORE
ACCESS TO RECORDS AND JUST BE
MORE ACCESSIBLE.
BE MORE SECURE TO PRO SECRETARY
OUR CITY RECORDS.
IMPROVE CITY STAFF'S PONCE TIME
TO SUBPOENAS AND PUBLIC RECORDS
REQUESTS AND MINIMIZE DUPLICATE
RECORDS IN MULTIPLE SYSTEMS.
SO WHERE ARE WE ON THIS PROJECT
SO FAR?
CITY CLERK AND FINANCE OFFICE IS
FULLY CONFIGURED WITH REGARDS TO
OUR DATA.
EACH DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN GIVEN
ONE TRAINING IN ON-BASE AND WE
WILL BE RECEIVING ANOTHER
TRAINING IN FEBRUARY.
ALL RECORDS IN SIRE FOR THE CITY
CLERK'S OFFICE HAVE BEEN MOVED
OVER TO ON-BASE AND WHERE ARE WE
GOING FROM HERE?
OVER THE MONTH OF THE REST OF
JANUARY AND EARLY FEBRUARY AT
THE LATEST, WE ANTICIPATE ALL OF
THE RECORDS AND FINANCE THAT ARE
CURRENTLY IN SIRE WILL BE MOVED
OVER.
STAFF WILL THEN CREATE PRODUCERS
TO CREATE PROCESSES FOR
UPLOADING AND RETRIEVING RECORDS
THAT WILL BE MORE ROOT TEEN FOR
STAFF.
THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE WILL
INVITE ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENTS TO
START TO UTILIZE SYSTEM AND OVER
TIME WE ANTICIPATE ADDING MORE
CAPABILITIES SUCH AS WORK FLOW
INTO THIS SYSTEM.
OUR END GOAL IN ALL OF THIS IS
TO BE ABLE TO SEEK ADOPTION BY
COUNCIL FOR ON BASE TO BE THE
CITY'S REPOSITORY TO HAVE A
SYSTEM WHICH ALLOWS US TO REDUCE
PAPER AN HARD COPIES THAT WE
CURRENTLY STORE.
ANY QUESTIONS?
>> NOT SOMETHING THAT IS
NECESSARILY VISIBLE TO CITY
COUNCIL WITH BUT DEFINITELY --
OR TO PUBLIC BUT DEFINITELY
SYSTEM THAT WE USE AT CITY HALL
AMONG STAFF EACH DAY.
>> VERY IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT.
>> OKAY.
>> MOVING ON DOWN THE LIST NEXT
ITEM FINANCIAL SYSTEM ENTERPRISE
RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEM, GONE
THROUGH AN RFP PROCESS AND ARE
IN DISCUSSIONS WITH TWO
FINALISTS.
AND DO ANTICIPATE THAT A
CONTRACT AWARDED CONTRACT WILL
THAN BROUGHT FORTH TO COUNCIL IN
TWO MONTHS WITH A PLAN OF
BEGINNING IMPLEMENTATION THIS
SUMMER.
SO WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
THE NEXT ITEM ON THE LIST IS
SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE
PROBABLY --
AND YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR
WITH, OPEN GOV, WHICH HAS BEEN A
LEADER IN SORT OF THE FINANCIAL
TRANSPARENCY PLATFORM IN RECENT
YEARS, THEY HAVE BUILT OUT A
MORE ROBUST BUDGET SYSTEM AND SO
WE HAVE RECENTLY ENTERED INTO A
CONTRACT WITH OPEN GOV WITH THE
INTENT OF USING THAT SYSTEM FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR FISCAL
YEAR 2021-23 BUDGET AND MY GOAL
IS THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE
THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO HAVE
COMPLETELY ELECTRONIC BUDGET FOR
THE NEXT GO-ROUND.
AND THEN FINALLY THE LAST ITEM
ON THE LIST IS THE INTERGOVLAND
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
QUITE A WORK EFFORT AMONGST MANY
STAFF IN THE ORGANIZATION.
THIS ENCOMPASSES MORE PEOPLE IN
THE ORGANIZATION THAN ANY OTHER
OF THESE PROJECTS.
WE ARE EXCITED FOR THE UPCOMING
PHASE I ON MARCH 2nd WHICH
WILL INCLUDE ALL OF OUR
LICENSING FUNCTIONS HERE AT THE
CITY SO BUSINESS LICENSE, ANIMAL
LICENSE AND RENTAL HOUSING
LICENSE WILL BE ABLE TO BE
APPLIED FOR AND PAID FOR ON-LINE
BEGINNING ON MARCH 2nd.
AND THEN PHASE TWO, WILL CONSIST
OF LAND MANAGEMENT CODE
ENFORCEMENT PERMITTING, SLATED
TO GO LIVE IN EARLY 2021.
SO THE NEXT THING WE WANT TO DO
IS GIVE YOU A SNEAK PEEK OF THE
NEW CITIZEN SERVICE SELF SERVICE
PORTAL WITH THE SYSTEM.
THIS WILL BE LANDING PAGE FOR
MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS WHO ARE
COMING TO THE CITY TO APPLY FOR
BUSINESS LICENSE OR REVIEW A
BUSINESS LICENSE AND THIS PORTAL
WILL BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE
BUILDING PERMITS AND OTHER
FUNCTIONS.
ASK ESCAUSE TO SPEAK ON THIS,
SHE IS ASSIGNED TO WORK ON THIS
AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HELPING
TO BUILD OUT THIS PORTAL.
ASK HER TO WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT
A NEW BUSINESS LICENSE
APPLICATION WILL LOOK LIKE IN
THE NEW SYSTEM.
>> GOOD EVENING HONOURABLE
MAYORS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
EXCITED TO SHOW YOU OUR NEW
CITIZEN SELF SERVICE PORTAL.
THIS IS WHERE CUSTOMERS GO
ON-LINE TO PURCHASE THEIR
BUSINESS LICENSES.
AND TONIGHT I'M GOING TO
DEMONSTRATE HOW EASY IT IS TO
APPLY FOR A HOME BASED BUSINESS
LICENSE.
>> IS THAT PART OF THE CITY'S
WEBSITE OR SOMETHING SEPARATE?
>> RIGHT NOW IT IS A SEPARATE
SITE.
WE WILL HAVE OUR MAIN CITY PAGE
WITH LINKS TO THIS CUSTOMER
PORTAL.
YOUR FIRST VIEW AT THE CUSTOMER
PORTAL.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS
OUR CITY PICTURE IN THE
BACKGROUND THERE AS WELL.
LOGGED IN AS JOE CITIZEN.
THAT IS THE USER PROFILE WE WILL
DEMONSTRATE WITH TONIGHT.
>> COULD NOT HAVE BEEN A JANE?
>> MAYBE NEXT TIME FOR THE NEXT
DEMO!
SO THIS WILL SHOW YOU THE MOST
TRENDING LICENSES THAT HAVE BEEN
APPLIED FOR BUT TONIGHT WE ARE
LOOKING FOR HOME BASE SO WE CAN
USE OUR APPLICATION ASSISTANT.
AND AS WE WALK THROUGH THIS,
BECAUSE WE ARE A NEW CUSTOMER WE
CAN CREATE OUR BUSINESS DURING
THE APPLICATION PROCESS SO WE
WILL SELECT WHAT TYPE OF
BUSINESS IT IS.
AND WE WILL SPECIFY THE LOCATION
WHEREOF THE BUSINESS IS AT.
AND SO HERE IS A CUSTOMER YOU
CAN ENTER IT MANUALLY OR WE ARE
USING OUR GIS SYSTEM TO LOCATE
PROPERTIES IN RANCHO CORDOVA.
>> JOE HAS ONLINE SALES OF
RETAIL ITEMS.
IF THEY HAD A DBA, THEY COULD GO
AHEAD AND ENTER THAT
INFORMATION.
WE'LL SPECIFY THAT THIS IS FOR
RESIDENTIAL.
THEY CAN PUT THEIR INDUSTRY
CLASSIFICATION OR ALSO KNOWN AS
CODE AND WE'LL ELECT THE ONE
THAT FITS.
>> CAN YOU IGNORE THAT IF YOU
DON'T HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT THAT
IS?
>> YES, THIS IS AN OPTIONAL
FIELD, SO IT IS NOT MANDATORY
AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT
THAT ANY POINT IN TIME WHILE THE
CUSTOMER IS APPLYING, IF THEY
NEED TO WALK AWAY FROM THE
COMPUTER FOR ANY REASON, THEY
CAN HIT THE "SAFE DRAFT" BUTTON
AND SAVE IT AND COME BACK TO IT
LATER.
WE'LL GIVE A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT
TYPE OF ACTIVITY WE'RE DOING.
WE'RE ASKING THEM TO PLEASE
PROVIDE A 24-HOUR EMERGENCY
CONTACT AND THE PRIMARY OWNER AS
WELL.
NOW, THEY CAN EITHER SEARCH FOR
A CONTACT OR THEY CAN PRELOAD
THEIR FAVORITES.
THERE'S YOUR JANE.
SO WE CAN GO AHEAD AND
PRE-SELECT A FAVORITE CONTACT.
>> WE ACTUALLY KNOW JANE SMITH.
>> YES, WE DO.
>> SO CAN BOTH CONTACTS BE THE
SAME PERSON?
>> THEY CAN, IF YOU LIKE, YES.
SO WE'VE ADDED OUR CONTACTS.
AND IF THEY HAVE SOME TAX
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, WE'D
ENTER THAT.
PERHAPS THEY HAVE A WEBSITE THEY
WANT TO PUT ON FILE AND THEY CAN
SPECIFY THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS
THAT COME TO THE BUSINESS, AND
SINCE WE'RE DOING ONLINE SALES,
WE'LL SAY ZERO.
IF THEY HAD ESTATE LICENSING,
THEY CAN ADD THAT.
WE ASK THEM TO VERIFY AT LEAST
ONE BUSINESS OWNER RESIDES AT
THE RESIDENCE AND WE HAVE NO
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.
WE ASK THEM --
>> OKAY, SO BEFORE YOU GET
BEYOND THE STATE OR SPECIAL
LICENSING SECTION, AT WHAT POINT
DOES IT GET VERIFIED THAT THEY
ARE BEING TRUTHFUL THAT THEY
DON'T NEED A STATE LICENSE OF
SOME SORT?
>> WE HAVE ON OUR BACK OFFICE
WHERE STAFF GOES IN AND VERIFIES
THE APPLICATION, SO A STAFF
MEMBER WILL BE VERIFYING THIS
INFORMATION AND TAKING A LOOK AT
THE APPLICATION BEFORE ISSUING
THE LICENSE.
>> OKAY, SO THE END OF THIS
PROCESS, ISN'T THAT JUST GOING
TO BE AN AUTOMATIC ISSUANCE?
SOMEBODY HAS TO VERIFY IT BEFORE
IT'S ACTUALLY ISSUED?
>> RIGHT.
AT THIS POINT, THEY'LL BE ABLE
TO APPLY, PAY FOR IT.
STAFF WILL REVIEW IT AND THEN
GIVE THE FINAL APPROVAL.
>> SUPER, THANK YOU.
>> IF I MIGHT JUST INTERJECT, I
DO WANT TO CLARIFY ONE THING.
THAT IS AN OPTIONAL FIELD.
WE DO NOT REQUIRE THEM TO
PROVIDE A STATE CONTRACTOR
LICENSE NUMBER, THAT IS
OPTIONAL, SO THAT REVIEW IS NOT
PART OF -- WE DO REVIEW IT IF
THEY PROVIDE IT BUT IT'S NOT A
MANDATORY PART OF THE BUSINESS
LICENSE.
>> THEN LET ME ASK THE QUESTION
THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
JANE SMITH DOESN'T WANT TO SELL
SHOES OF MULTICOLORS, BUT SHE
WANTS TO PROVIDE DAYCARE BUT SHE
HAS TO HAVE STATE PERMISSION TO
DO THAT, AND STATE REGULATION
AND STATE LICENSING.
SO DOES THE SAME PROCESS STILL
APPLY IF SOMEBODY AT THE END
WILL BE VERIFYING THAT THEY HAVE
THEIR LICENSE OR WHATEVER THEY
NEED, EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T
PUT IT ON-SCREEN?
>> SO OUR CITY BUSINESS LICENSE
DOES NOT GO THROUGH THAT
VERIFICATION.
FOR SOMEBODY IN THAT INSTANCE
WITH A DAYCARE, THEY GO THROUGH
THE STATE PROCESS.
THAT IS NOT PART OF OUR BUSINESS
LICENSE APPLICATION PROCESS.
OURS IS FOCUSED ON THE ZONING
COMPONENT AND THAT IS IT.
>> OKAY.
SO YOU COULD ALSO USE THIS TO
APPLY FOR A RESTAURANT ONLINE?
>> CORRECT.
>> AND AT WHAT POINT WOULD
THAT -- I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY YOU
ASSUME THE PERSON IS GOING TO
SAY THAT THEY HAVE BEER AND WINE
FOR ON-SITE CONSUMPTION AND THEY
NEED A TYPE 21 LICENSE, AND SO
AT WHAT POINT DOES SOMEBODY
VERIFY THAT OR THEY HAVE TO
DISCLOSE THAT?
>> I'M GOING TO ASK THAT
QUESTION FOR YOU IF I CAN.
COUNCIL, MAYOR, I JUST WANTED TO
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT,
AND ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT
WE RUN INTO VERY OFTEN IS THE
BUSINESS LICENSE IS ONE OF THE
FIRST THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE
COMING IN TO GET.
THEY NEED IT TO BE ABLE TO OPEN
THEIR BANK ACCOUNT.
THEY NEED IT TO BE ABLE TO DO
THEIR DBA'S.
AND SO OFTEN, THEY DON'T HAVE
ALL THESE DUCKS IN A ROW AT THE
TIME THAT THEY'RE GETTING A
LICENSE.
WE DO TRY TO HELP ASSIST THEM
AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHAT
OTHER REGULATORY AGENCIES THEY
PROBABLY NEED TO VISIT, BUT MANY
OF THOSE THINGS WILL HAPPEN
AFTER THE FACT OF US ALREADY
ISSUING THE BUSINESS LICENSE.
AND WE DO EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT
THIS DOES NOT PRECLUDE THEM FROM
HAVING TO OBTAIN THOSE
AUTHORIZATIONS FROM ALL OF THE
OTHER ENTITIES, WHICHEVER ONES
THEY MIGHT BE.
SO IF THEY DO PROVIDE -- I DO
WANT TO SAY THAT THERE IS A
LEVEL OF CARE THAT IF WE KNOW
SOMETHING REQUIRES A STATE
LICENSE, WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO
AT LEAST LOOK AT IT OR ASK.
I MEAN, I THINK AN EXCELLENT
EXAMPLE IS THE MASSAGE
ESTABLISHMENTS.
BY ALL MEANS, WE ARE LOOKING AT
THOSE AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY
HAVE A LICENSE.
IF THEY PROVIDE US WITH A
CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE, WE DO LOOK
AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ACTIVE,
BUT THAT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT
PER OUR ORDINANCE FOR THEM TO
OBTAIN A LICENSE.
>> OKAY.
AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT.
I PROBABLY MAINTAIN A CONCERN
ABOUT THAT, AND I'VE TALKED
ABOUT THAT OR ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THAT UNDER DIFFERENT
SETTINGS SIMPLY BECAUSE IN MY
EXPERIENCE, HAVING SAT AS AN
APPROVAL AUTHORITY IN THE COUNTY
COUNTY, YOU ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT IF YOU GRANT SOMEBODY
PERMISSION TO DO SOMETHING THAT
THEY ARE ACTUALLY ABLE TO GO OUT
AND DO THAT AND THAT THEY'VE
PRESENTED AN ACCURATE PICTURE TO
YOU SO THAT YOU'RE NOT
TECHNICALLY GIVING THEM
PERMISSION TO DO SOMETHING THAT
THEY DON'T YET HAVE THE RIGHT TO
DO.
SO THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT I
SEE, THE PROBLEM THAT I SEE WITH
THIS PARTICULAR PROCESS.
>> RIGHT.
>> WE DON'T WANT TO TELL THEM
THEY CAN HANG OUT A SIGN AND
START TAKING IN SIX KIDS UNTIL
THE STATE HAS TOLD THEM TO DO
THAT.
I MEAN, IT'S UNLIKELY THAT THEY
WOULD BE ABLE TO OPEN A
RESTAURANT WITHOUT IT, YOU KNOW,
,
MASSAGE PARLOUR.
YOU SET UP THE TABLE, YOU HANG
OUT A SIGN, YOU PUT IT ON THE
INTERNET.
YOU PUT IT ON CRAIGSLIST AND
PEOPLE SHOW UP AT THE DOOR, AND
WE'VE GIVEN YOU A BUSINESS
LICENSE TO DO THAT, BUT YOU
DIDN'T REALLY HAVE PERMISSION TO
DO THAT.
>> AND I DO HEAR YOUR CONCERNS
AND I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS
OBVIOUSLY OBSERVATIONS MADE OUT
ON WHETHER IT BE OUR CODE
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR STAFF AS
BUSINESSES ARE COMING IN.
YOU KNOW, WE GO IN WITH THE
ASSUMPTION THAT THEY ARE HONEST
AND ARE LOOKING TO START A
BUSINESS THAT IS GOING TO THRIVE
HERE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO NOT FOLLOW
ALL OF THOSE CONDITIONS, IT WILL
BUBBLE UP, AND WE WILL THEN TAKE
ACTION THROUGH OUR CODE
ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT AND
WHATEVER ELSE MEANS THAT WE NEED
TO TAKE.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I WILL TELL
YOU THEY COME RUNNING IN HERE
AND THE FIRST THING THEY WANT IS
THAT BUSINESS LICENSE BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT LETS THEM GET THEIR
BANK ACCOUNT.
>> I UNDERSTAND.
I SEE THAT THERE'S MORE TO IT
THAN MEETS THE EYE.
JUST HARDER TO GET SOMEBODY OUT
OF BUSINESS ONCE WE'VE TOLD THEM
THEY CAN GO INTO BUSINESS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> THANK YOU, LISA.
>> THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
MOVING ON, WE CAN SPECIFY WHERE
IN THE EQUIPMENT IS BEING
STORED, THE MATERIALS.
WE ASK THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
EVERYTHING IS CORRECT.
THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REVIEW THE BUSINESS RESTRICTIONS
AND ZONING CODE AND WE'RE ASKING
THEM ALSO TO VERIFY THAT THEY
ARE AWARE OF THEM AND THAT
THEY'LL BE IN COMPLIANCE.
IF THERE WERE ANY ATTACHMENTS
FOR THE BUSINESS TO SUPPORT
THEIR ACTIVITIES, THEY COULD
UPLOAD THAT HERE, HOWEVER, IT'S
NOT REQUIRED.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THEM DECLARE
UNDER PENALTY OF PURGERY THAT
THE FOREGOING IS TRUE AND
CORRECT.
AND THEY CAN EITHER USE THEIR
MOUSE TO SIGN OR THEY CAN GO
AHEAD AND TYPE IN OR ADA
COMPLIANCE.
THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REVIEW EVERYTHING BEFORE THEY
ACTUALLY SUBMIT IT, SO THEY CAN
SEE ALL OF THE INFORMATION
THEY'VE SUPPLIED US WITH, THE
COST FOR THE LICENSE.
AND WE HIT THE "SUBMIT" BUTTON.
ALL RIGHT, IT TOLD US THAT THE
APPLICATION HAS BEEN CREATED
SUCCESSFULLY AND THAT ONCE THE
FEES ARE PAID, WE'LL REVIEW IT,
SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND
ADD THIS TO OUR SHOPPING CART.
IF THEY NEEDED TO PURCHASE MORE
THAN ONE LICENSE AT A TIME FOR
WHATEVER REASON, THEY COULD LOAD
ALL THOSE UP INTO THE SHOPPING
CART AT ONCE AND PAY FOR THEM AT
THE END.
THAT WAY THEY DON'T HAVE TO
APPLY AND COME BACK REPEATEDLY.
SO WE SEE HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING
TO PAY HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND
CHECK OUT.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY
PAID FOR THIS AND WE CAN
CONTINUE BACK TO THE SITE.
>> I'LL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT
CREDIT CARD NUMBER.
>> IT MIGHT BE MAXED OUT, SO BE
CAREFUL.
SO THE CUSTOMER HAS THE ABILITY
TO GO TO THEIR DASHBOARD SO THEY
CAN SEE ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT
THEY HAVE SUBMITTED AND THEIR
STATUS, SO WE CAN VIEW THE
LICENSES AND WE CAN SEE THAT
RIGHT NOW, THE HOME-BASED
BUSINESS LICENSE THAT WE JUST
APPLIED FOR HAS BEEN SUBMITTED
ONLINE, HAS THE APPLY DATE AND
THERE'S NO EXPIRATION DATE JUST
YET BECAUSE STAFF WILL REVIEW IT
AND AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE
SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED OUR FIRST
HOME-BASED BUSINESS LICENSE.
>> COOL.
>> OKEY DOKEY.
>> GREAT, THANK YOU, JESSICA.
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR UPCOMING
UPCOMING, THE EnerGov SYSTEM
ON MARCH 2ND?
>> NO, THAT'S COOL, FINE.
>> SO IN CLOSING, I'D LIKE TO
JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THE HARD WORK
AND DEDICATION OF STAFF FROM
ACROSS THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION
THAT ARE WORKING ON THE VARIETY
OF PROJECTS THAT YOU HEARD ABOUT
THIS EVENING.
THESE SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATIONS ARE
A VERY HEAVY LIFT FOR THE
ORGANIZATION AND IT TAKES A LOT
OF HOURS FROM PEOPLE IN ADDITION
TO THEIR DAY-TO-DAY DUTIES, BUT
I THINK AS YOU'RE SEEING, WE'RE
MAKING PROGRESS AND THE END IS
COMING IN SIGHT.
SO WITH THAT, IF THERE'S ANY
QUESTIONS, HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.
>> ALL RIGHT, IF I MAY, I JUST
WANT, COULD YOU ALSO SAY THE
NEXT PHASES OF THE EnerGov
WITH THE BUILDING PERMITS AND
CODE ENFORCEMENT MODEL?
>> SO PHASE ONE OF THE GO LIVE
ON MARCH 2ND IS STRICTLY THE
LICENSING COMPONENT, SO BUSINESS
LICENSE, ANIMAL LICENSE, AND
RENTAL HOUSING LICENSE.
PHASE TWO WHICH IS EVERYTHING
ELSE INCLUDING CODE ENFORCEMENT
AND BUILDING PERMITS, PLANNING,
AND SO ON, IS CURRENTLY
SCHEDULED TO GO LIVE ABOUT EARLY
2021.
>> ALL RIGHT.
DO WE HAVE ANY CARDS?
>> WE DO NOT.
>> OKAY.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.
VERY EXCITING UPDATE.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM
NUMBER 12.2 AND TALK ABOUT SPEED
ZONES, SPEED LIMITS IN SCHOOL
ZONES.
IT LOOKS LIKE A QUICK REPORT.
>> FOUR PEOPLE.
>> WE HAVE A POWERPOINT.
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
ALBERT STRICKER AND CITY COUNCIL
HAD REQUESTED STAFF EVALUATE
OPTIONS FOR SCHOOL ZONE SPEED
LIMITS AND OUR TEAM HAS
EVALUATED THOSE OPTIONS AND IS
PREPARED TO PROVIDE A
PRESENTATION TO CITY COUNCIL, SO
I'LL TURN IT OVER TO OUR TEAM.
>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND
COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I'M BYRON TANG FROM PUBLIC WORKS
AND I'M HERE TO PRESENT ABOUT
SCHOOL SPEED ZONE LIMITS AND OUR
EVALUATION.
INTRODUCTION.
IN THE SUMMER OF 2019, THE CITY
OF SACRAMENTO DECIDED TO REDUCE
SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMITS FROM 2S
PER HOUR.
RANCHO CORDOVA CITY COUNCIL
FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING THAT
SAME REDUCTION RANCHO CORDOVA.
QUICKLY, THE TOPICS THAT WE WILL
BE TALKING ABOUT, FIRST WE'LL GO
OVER BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND
DISCUSS WHERE WE ARE NOW.
THEN WE WILL TALK ABOUT RESEARCH
FINDINGS, WHAT WE FOUND ABOUT
THE LAW AND OUR COLLISION
ANALYSIS.
AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE
CHALLENGES THAT WE IDENTIFIED
LEADING UP TO OUR RECOMMENDATION
AND THEN WE WILL PROVIDE A STAFF
RECOMMENDATION AND RECEIVE
COUNCIL INPUT ALONG WITH
QUESTIONS.
SO WHERE WE ARE, CITY STAFF HAD
REACHED OUT TO THE CITY OF
SACRAMENTO TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
THEIR PROGRAM AND THEIR
FEEDBACK.
THE TOTAL IMPLEMENTATION COSTS
FOR THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO WAS
400,000.
THIS INCLUDES LABOUR, STUDIES,
SIGNAGE, RELOCATION OF SIGNS,
AND INVENTORYING.
THE ENFORCEMENT STARTED IN
OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR.
FOR RANCHO CORDOVA, CITY STAFF
ANALYZED COLLISIONS WITHIN A
FIVE-YEAR TIME PERIOD.
THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO IS STILL
EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THEIR PROGRAM.
NOW ABOUT OUR RESEARCH FINDINGS.
IN ORDER FOR A SPEED LIMIT TO BE
REDUCED ON A STREET, THERE ARE
SOME RESTRICTIONS TO THE ROADS
AND THESE ROADS THAT ARE TO BE
REDUCED HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN
REQUIREMENTS.
AB321 PASSED BY SAVE CALIFORNIA
IN 2007 ALLOWS THE SPEED
REDUCTION WITHIN 500 FEET OF A
SCHOOL ZONE.
THE REDUCTION CAN BE APPLIED
WHEN A STREET MEETS THESE
FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS.
A COMPLETION OF AN ENGINEERING
AND TRAFFIC SURVEY.
A STREET MUST HAVE A MAXIMUM OF
TWO THROUGH TRAFFIC LANES ONLY.
WHEN THERE'S A MAXIMUM POSTED
SPEED LIMIT OF 30 MILES PER HOUR
IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE SCHOOL
ZONE, WHICH THAT MEANS 35 MILES
PER HOUR WOULD NOT QUALIFY.
WHEN THE APPROPRIATE SIGNAGE IS
INSTALLED.
AND THEN WHEN THE ROADWAY IS
RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE.
IN ADDITION, AB321 ALLOWS FOR A
25-MILE PER HOUR EXTENDED SPEED
LIMIT WITHIN 1,000 FEET FROM THE
A SCHOOL BUILDING MAINLY FOR
TRANSITION ZONES SO YOU CAN
TRANSITION TO THE 15-MILE PER
HOUR OR 20-MILE PER HOUR SPEED
LIMIT.
>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
JEFF SCHELLDORF.
WE WORKED WITH PUBLIC WORKS IN
ANALYZING THE FEEDABILITY FEASIY
ROLE IS TO LOOK AT FIVE YEARS
WORTH OF COLLISION DATA TO
EVALUATE WHETHER THE PROGRAM
WOULD EVEN BE EFFECTIVE BASED ON
WHAT THE COSTS ARE WITHIN THE
COMMUNITY.
WE USED COLLISION DATA FROM
TWEEN 2013
TO 2017 TIME SPAN AND ALL
COLLISIONS THAT OCCURRED WITHIN
WHAT THE LAW ALLOWS, WHERE WE
COULD IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM,
AND DETERMINED IN THAT FIVE-YEAR
PERIOD, WE ONLY HAD FIVE
COLLISIONS TOTAL IN ALL 23
SCHOOLS THAT THIS COULD AFFECT
AND OUT OF THOSE WHERE SPEED WAS
A FACTOR, AND OUT OF THOSE
COLLISIONS, ONLY ONE WAS AN
INJURY AND LOOKING DEEPER INTO
THAT, THAT INJURY WAS JUST A
MINOR COMPLAINT OF PAIN.
SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHETHER
USING THE DATA SPECIFIC ON
WHETHER IT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE,
WE FEEL LIKE THE DATA DOESN'T
SUPPORT THAT THE COSTS THAT THE
CITY WOULD TO IMPLEMENT THE
PROGRAM WOULD BE EFFECTIVE BASED
ON THE DATA ALONE.
SO AGAIN, IT'S A VERY MINUTE
AMOUNT OF CRASHES WHERE SPEED
WAS A FACTOR, AND WHEN YOU
BALANCE THAT WITH THE COSTS AND
WHETHER I WOULD BE ABLE TO
ENFORCE THAT PARTICULAR SPEED
LIMIT IN THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS
TO BEGIN WITH, THAT'S HOW WE
CAME TO OUR CONCLUSION.
SO I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO
BYRON.
>> NOW MOVING ON TO THE
CHALLENGES AND RECOMMENDATION
PART OF THE PRESENTATION.
SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL
CHALLENGES THAT WE FOUND IS IN
ORDER TO REDUCE THESE SPEED
LIMITS, EXTENSIVE STUDIES WOULD
BE REQUIRED THAT WOULD INCUR
COSTS, AND WE CAME UP WITH A
COST ASSESSMENT OF $70,000 FOR
IMPLEMENTATION, SO THIS INCLUDES
STUDIES, SIGNS, AND LABOUR, SO
CITY STAFF.
IN ADDITION, WE LOOKED AT LATEST
RESEARCH AND THE LATEST RESEARCH
IS NOT CLEAR IF COLLISIONS WILL
BE REDUCED JUST BY LOWERING
SPEED LIMITS ALONE.
>> SO AND TO FOLLOW UP ON THE
COLLISION DATA CONVERSATION, IN
ORDER FOR ME TO EVALUATE WHETHER
THIS WILL BE FEASIBLE, I WOULD
LIKE TO SEE THE CITY OF
SACRAMENTO THAT'S IMPLEMENTED IT
SINCE OCTOBER, THEY'RE GOING TO
EVALUATE IT AT SOME POINT, BUT
FOR ME, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT
THEIR EFFECTIVENESS WOULD BE
FROM THEIR STANDPOINT BEFORE WE
COMMIT ANY MONEY OR ANY
ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS FORWARD.
AGAIN, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE
CAN'T ADDRESS IT LATER ON IF THE
CITY OF SACRAMENTO HAS SOME
SUCCESSES.
WE WOULD CERTAINLY TAKE A LOOK
AT IT AGAIN AND KEEP IT OPEN FOR
DISCUSSION.
BUT I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE
DATA-DRIVEN AND THE
EFFECTIVENESS SHOULD BE BASED ON
THE DATA ALONE, AND THAT'S
CURRENTLY WHERE I SIT.
ON A SIDE NOTE, MY STAFF IN
ENFORCING IT HAS LIMITED TIME IN
ENFORCING SPEED AND WHEN I'M
LOOKING AT HOW I'M GOING TO
DEPLOY MY RESOURCES OUT IN THE
CITY, I WOULD RATHER DEPLOY MY
RESOURCES WHERE WE HAVE HIGHER
SPEED ISSUES SUCH AS FOLSOM,
SUNRISE, WHERE IF A COLLISION
DOES IN FACT OCCUR, IT'S EITHER
GOING TO BE A SERIOUS INJURY OR
A FATALITY, SO WHEN YOU DEPLOY
THE RESOURCES, I'M LOOKING DO I
WANT TO WRITE A CITATION FOR
25 MILES AN HOUR IN A 15 OR DO I
WANT TO WRITE ONE FOR 75 IN A
40?
75-MILE AN HOUR COLLISION IS
GOING TO BE MUCH MORE DANGEROUS
THAN THE LOWER SPEED ONES, SO
YOU'RE LOOKING AT HOW YOU'RE
GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY AND
HOW YOU'RE GOING TO DEPLOY YOUR
RESOURCES, THE DATA DOESN'T
SUPPORT WHAT WE'RE SITTING AT
FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE
SORT OF THE RESEARCH-BASED
RESPONSE HERE.
ARE THERE COUNCIL QUESTIONS?
>> NOT QUESTIONS, PARTICULARLY,
BUT I JUST WANT TO SHARE MY
PERSPECTIVE AND THE REASON THAT
I HAVE PERSONALLY ASKED THAT
THIS BE DISCUSSED.
AND I WOULD NOTE AS A SIDE NOTE
THAT IN THIS LAST GRAPEVINE,
THERE ALSO IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT
YOU ALL DEVELOPING SAFE ROUTES
TO SCHOOLS MASTER PLAN AND IT
SEEMS TO ME THAT IT'S ALL FINE
AND DANDY TO DEVELOP A MASTER
PLAN THAT TALKING ABOUT WALKING
AND BICYCLING TO SCHOOL, BUT IF
WE'RE NOT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO
SLOW DOWN TOO, THEN WE MIGHT
HAVE LEFT OUT PART OF IT, BUT
THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION.
SO THE REASON I SPECIFICALLY
ONCE THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO
BROUGHT IT UP, AND ACTUALLY DID
SOMETHING ABOUT IT, MY PARENTS
WERE TRANSFERRED IN 1967 AND THE
CITY OF TUSCON HAS BEEN DOING
THIS FOR DECADES AND THEY
CONTINUE TO DO IT TODAY.
TUSCON IS A CITY THAT HAS
ESSENTIALLY BEEN BYPASSED BY
FREEWAYS.
HIGHWAY 10 RIMS THE AREA.
IT COMES IN FROM PHOENIX AND
GOES OUT TO EL PASO.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO
CROSS-TOWN FREEWAY IN TUSCON AT
ALL AND IT'S ALL MAJOR
THOROUGHFARES OF BASICALLY FOUR
AND SIX LANES.
AND EVEN WITH SCHOOLS THAT ARE
ON THOSE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES, IT
IS QUITE CLEARLY POSTED THAT
15 MILES AN HOUR WHEN SCHOOL IS
IN SESSION, PEOPLE TRULY SLOW
DOWN TO 15 MILES AN HOUR, AND AS
YOU POINT OUT, JEFF, THERE IS
ENFORCEMENT.
I TOTALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
COMMENTS ABOUT SPEED AND PEOPLE
NOT REALLY SPEEDING ON THE LOCAL
ROADS, SO LET'S TALK ABOUT TWO
SPECIFIC LOCATIONS.
FIRST OF ALL, CORDOVA LANE
SCHOOL, BOTH INCIDENT ZINFANDELD
CORDOVA ARE TWO-LANE STREETS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SPEED
LIMIT IS, BUT IN TERMS OF THE
TWO-LANE STREETS, THEY WOULD
QUALIFY, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE
NOT ACTIVE YEAR-ROUND ELEMENTARY
OR NOT ACTIVE ELEMENTARY, THEY
STILL HAVE A LOT OF KIDS,
PRESCHOOLERS, PARENTS, WHATNOT,
AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE LITTLE
LEAGUE IS THERE.
THE OTHER EXAMPLE THAT COMES TO
MY MIND IMMEDIATELY IS
NAVIGATOR.
BECAUSE IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SPEEDING ON
BEAR HOLLOW IN THE PORTION ARE
THE MOMS WHO ARE RUSHING TO GET
THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL ON TIME,
WHICH IS VERY ODD.
GET YOUR KID TO SCHOOL ON TIME
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEED.
IT'S A TWO-LANE ROAD.
THE SPEED LIMIT IS 30.
IT QUALIFIES.
AND ADD TO THAT THE FACT THAT
THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT IS
BUILDING AN ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS
BUILDING OVER THERE THAT IS
GOING TO BRING A LOT OF PEOPLE,
A LOT OF TRAFFIC WHO MAY VERY
WELL USE THE BOULEVARD, BUT ALSO
BEAR HOLLOW TO GET TO AND FROM
WORK IN THE MORNING AND IN THE
AFTERNOON, AND SO THE TRAFFIC
VOLUME ON BEAR HOLLOW WILL GO UP
DRAMATICALLY.
IT'S PROBABLY A 50-FOOT
THOROUGHFARE AND ANOTHER TWO
LANES COULD BE ADDED OR
WHATEVER, AND I KNOW THAT YOU
ALL WILL WATCH IT, BUT CURRENTLY
WE HAVE THAT PROBLEM, BECAUSE
PEOPLE TAKING THEIR KIDS TO
SCHOOL DO SPEED.
SO I APPRECIATE THE RESEARCH
INTO THE COSTS.
I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THERE
MAY NOT BE -- THERE PROBABLY HAS
NOT BEEN ENOUGH TIME PASSED TO
EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THE PROGRAM IN THE CITY OF
SACRAMENTO.
I'M PROBABLY OKAY WITH NOT DOING
ANYTHING ABOUT IT TODAY, BUT I
WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF WE KEPT
AN EYE ON IT AND KEPT IT IN THE
BACK OF OUR MINDS.
AND DEFINITELY ADD SOMETHING TO
THE "SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS"
MASTER PLAN THAT DISCUSSES THIS
AS A POTENTIAL OPTION.
>> YEAH, I MEAN, ALL ALONG, AS
YOU KNOW, WE CERTAINLY ARE
SYMPATHETIC TO THE SPEEDS.
WE GET COMPLAINTS QUITE OFTEN
AND AS THEY COME IN, WE DO
DEPLOY OUR RESOURCES THERE AND
WE CERTAINLY KEEP AN EYE ON
CERTAIN TRENDS AND THAT SORT OF
THING.
SO I'M AWARE OF THESE AREAS AND
WE DO DEPLOY OUR RESOURCES WHEN
NEED BE.
WE WERE JUST ASKED TO LOOK AT
THIS SPECIFIC INSTANCE AND
WHETHER THE QUALIFYING SCHOOLS,
AND WE CAN CERTAINLY ADDRESS AT
THE REQUEST OF THE COUNCIL TO
TAKE A LOOK AT SPECIFIC AREAS,
BUT I'M VERY OPEN TO ANY
DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW WE DEPLOY
OUR RESOURCES AND WE
CERTAINLY -- WE DO VERY OFTEN GO
OUT AND DEAL WITH SCHOOL AREAS.
>> I GUESS THE ONLY THING I
WOULD SAY GENERICALLY IN TERMS
OF DEPLOYING RESOURCES, IT
ALWAYS -- I FIND IT FRUSTRATING
WHEN THE POLICE IS DRIVING DOWN
THE ROAD AND SOMEBODY IS CLEARLY
SPEEDING OR RUNNING A RED LIGHT
OR DOING SOMETHING THAT THEY
SHOULDN'T BE DOING AND IT'S
IGNORED.
>> YES, OF COURSE, I CAN'T SPEAK
TO ANY SPECIFIC INCIDENTS.
>> ME NEITHER, I UNDERSTAND.
>> WE CAN'T MAKE THE ASSUMPTION
THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO A
CALL.
THE PERCEPTION IS THEY'RE
IGNORING IT, BUT MORE OFTEN THAN
NOT, AND I'D BE SURPRISED TO
HEAR IF ANY OF OUR OFFICERS ARE
IN FACT DOING THAT WITHOUT
HAVING TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
>> I UNDERSTAND.
THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> I APPRECIATE THIS.
I KNOW, ALBERT, YOU AND I HAVE
HAD EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT KADE'S COVE AND THAT AREA
OF ANATOLIA AND WOULD THIS BE AN
APPROPRIATE WAY -- A LOT OF THE
NEIGHBORS THERE WERE ASKING FOR
EXACTLY THE SAME THING.
AND IT ISN'T NECESSARILY THAT
THEY WERE SPEEDING.
THERE WAS JUST A LOT OF CARS
GOING BY AT ONE TIME.
MY OBSERVATION AS A FORMER
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER AND EVEN AS
A PARENT OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CHILD, AT A VERY, VERY BUSY
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AT ONE POINT,
NOW IT'S TWO SCHOOLS IN THAT
NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT WHEN IT
WASN'T, THE BIGGER CONCERN IS
STUFF FURTHER AWAY FROM SCHOOL,
NOT THE STUFF -- MOST PEOPLE,
AND I WILL SAY THAT I'VE WALKED
FROM MY SON'S SCHOOL AND SEEN,
YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY BLOW A STOP
SIGN BECAUSE THEY WERE STARING
AT THEIR PHONE.
AND SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE --
LIKE, A SIGN ISN'T NECESSARILY
GOING TO STOP SOME OF THE REALLY
BONE-HEAD THINGS THAT WILL
HAPPEN IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL
ANYWAYS, BUT THE KINDS OF
TRAFFIC MITIGATION WORK THAT
WE'VE DONE LIKE IN FRONT OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLN -- I'M SORRY,
A.W. WYNN TO GO IN AND ADDRESS
AFTER THE FACT WHERE WE KNOW
WE'RE STARTING TO HAVE PROBLEMS
IS A MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE THING.
AND I GET THE IDEA OF WHAT THIS
IS.
BUT MY EXPERIENCE IS, YOU KNOW,
ROSEMONT HIGH IS A GREAT
EXAMPLE.
MOST INJURIES THAT I HEARD OF
KIDS GETTING HIT BY CARS WERE
KIDS CROSSING STREETS WHERE THEY
SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AND IT
WASN'T IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL
WHERE THERE ARE SCHOOL STAFF OUT
THERE WATCHING THEM, SO RIGHT IN
FRONT OF CORDOVA HIGH WHERE WE
HAD THAT CORNER WE JUST IMPROVED
SO KIDS HAVE A BETTER PLACE TO
STAND AND WAIT.
BUT IT'S NOT USUALLY THAT
CORNER.
IT'S THE BLOCK DOWN WHEN THEY
GET CLOSER TO FOLSOM BOULEVARD
WHERE NOBODY IS WATCHING THEM,
WHERE, YOU KNOW, BAD DECISIONS
ARE MADE BY DRIVERS AND BY KIDS.
SO TO ME, I THINK THIS IS --
IT'S INTERESTING TO LOOK AT WHAT
YOU STUDY, BUT, YEAH, FROM MY
EXPERIENCE, A LOT OF IT REALLY
COMES DOWN TO DO WE HAVE
ADEQUATE SIDEWALKS AND BARRIERS
TO KEEP CARS ON THE STREET AND
AWAY FROM STUDENTS AND
PEDESTRIANS IN GENERAL?
AND AGAIN, WHERE WE'VE DONE I
THINK SOME OF OUR BEST WORK OF
THIS KIND OF STUFF HAS BEEN TO
GO IN AFTER THE FACT KNOWING
WHAT OUR PROBLEM AREAS ARE AND
WORKING WITH SCHOOL SITE STAFF
TO SAY THIS IS CROSSWALK OVER
HERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM, OR THIS
CORNER OVER HERE HAS BEEN A
PROBLEM, AND WHAT IS THE
SOLUTION THAT'S RIGHT FOR THAT
AREA?
I KNOW ONE SCHOOL IN PARTICULAR
THAT I JUST -- I SENT ALBERT AND
CYRUS SOME PICTURES OF, A STREET
THAT DEAD-ENDS RIGHT INTO THE
MULTIPURPOSE ROOM OF ONE OF OUR
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS FROM A STREET
THAT DEAD-ENDS INTO THE SCHOOL.
IT'S NOT A VERY LONG STREET, BUT
CYRUS AND I HAD A GOOD
CONVERSATION ABOUT IT, MAYBE
IT'S SOMETHING WE MIGHT WANT TO
LOOK AT BARRIERS TO KEEP A CAR
IF IT JUST ROLLED, JUST KEPT
ROLLING, THAT IT DIDN'T ROLL AND
HIT A BUILDING, SO AGAIN, WHERE
WE FIND THOSE PROBLEMS, WE
SHOULDN'T DESIGN BAD DESIGNS
LIKE THAT, BUT WE WEREN'T HERE
IN THE '60S WHEN THEY DID SOME
OF THIS STUFF.
BUT WHERE WE CAN DO IT, THAT TO
ME SEEMS A LOT MORE EFFECTIVE
AND WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS, THAT'S
WHEN YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE
DIFFERENT ISSUES IN PROBLEMS.
I KNOW WHEN I WAS ON THE SCHOOL
BOARD, WE HAD A BIG ISSUE AT
A.M. WYNN WITH THE EASEMENT IN
THE BACK OF THE FIELD THERE
WHERE THE NEIGHBOR WAS REALLY
FRUSTRATED WITH WHAT IT WAS, AND
SHE WANTED THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
TO ABANDON IT SO SHE COULD TAKE
IT OVER AS PART OF HER YARD AND
NOBODY COULD EVER GO THROUGH
THERE AGAIN.
>> BUT WE'RE STILL HEARING ABOUT
THAT ONE!
>> BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE, THAT
EASEMENT AND THAT EXIT, THERE'S
A LOT OF WALKING TIME FOR
STUDENTS AND PARENTS AND GIVES A
VERY SAFE ENTRANCE AND EXIT INTO
THAT NEIGHBORHOOD INSTEAD OF
GOING BACK OUT ON TO THE BUSIER
STREET OR LINCOLN VILLAGE WHERE
WE'VE HAD TONS OF DESIGN
PROBLEMS WITH LINCOLN VILLAGE,
SO I THINK EACH SCHOOL AND EACH
ISSUE HAS ITS OWN SOLUTION AND,
UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU PAINT
WITH A BROAD BRUSH, YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO GET THE KIND OF
EFFECTIVENESS THAT WE'RE GETTING
BY WORKING WITH ALBERT'S STAFF.
>> AND IF I CAN INTERJECT, I CAN
ASSURE THE COUNCIL, AND I'M VERY
PROUD OF THE RELATIONSHIP THAT
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS WITH
PUBLIC WORKS WHERE NOW WE'RE OUT
IN THE FIELD AND WE SEE A
PARTICULAR SITUATION LIKE YOU
TALKED ABOUT, WE HAVE AN
OUTSTANDING WORKING
RELATIONSHIP.
NOT ONLY THE ENFORCEMENT SIDE,
BUT THE ENGINEERING SIDE AND WE
WORK VERY CLOSELY TO OVERCOME
SOME OF THOSE PROBLEMS.
>> AND JUST TWO REALLY QUICK
ANECDOTES.
WHEN I WAS ON THE SCHOOL BOARD,
A STUDENT WAS HIT AND KILLED IN
FRONT OF, I BELIEVE, IT WAS WEST
CAMPUS, AND IT'S INTERESTING,
BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN COLLECTING
SIGNATURES TO GET A SIGNAL LIGHT
AT THAT CROSSING FOR I WANT TO
SAY THREE YEARS PRIOR TO THAT
STUDENT BEING KILLED.
IT TOOK ANOTHER 18 MONTHS BEFORE
THEY INSTALLED THE SIGNAL, AND
THEY ACTUALLY HAD A MEMORIAL
SERVICE AND UNVEILING AND
EVERYTHING AT THE CITY AND I
DON'T THINK I WAS EVEN ON THE
SCHOOL BOARD BY THE TIME THAT IT
HAPPENED.
COMPARE THAT TO THIS.
I REMEMBER WALKING HOME ONE DAY
AND MY SON'S PRINCIPAL STOPPED
ME AND MENTIONED HOW BUSY IT WAS
ON ONE OF OUR STREETS AND IT
WOULD BE REALLY GREAT IF WE HAD
"NO PARKING" SIGNS ALONG ONE
SIDE OF THE STREET IN CASE
EMERGENCY VEHICLES NEEDED TO
COME DOWN THAT STREET.
SO ALBERT WORKED WITH THE SAFETY
OFFICER AND A HANDFUL OF OTHER
FOLKS TO HAVE A MEETING HERE.
THE PRINCIPAL CAME.
IT WAS THE VERY FIRST MEETING WE
HAD, I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK SINCE,
BUT THE PRINCIPAL KIND OF VOICED
HIS CONCERN.
I WANT TO SAY WITHIN A MATTER OF
WEEKS, THE SIGNS WENT UP AND THE
PRINCIPAL AND EVERYBODY ELSE
WERE SAYS AMAZED.
YOU DON'T SEE THAT HAPPEN IN THE
COUNTY.
AND THEY WERE JUST AMAZED AT THE
SWIFTNESS.
YEAH, WE'VE GOT THIS IDEA, IT
WOULD BE SAFER IF WE HAD THOSE
SIGNS, AND, I MEAN, I DON'T EVEN
THINK THERE WAS ANOTHER CITY
COUNCIL MEETING BEFORE THOSE
SIGNS WERE UP, SO THE
RESPONSIVENESS WHEN OUR LOCAL
EDUCATIONAL LEADERS SAY THIS IS
WHAT WE NEED, OUR CITY DELIVERS
AND ALBERT'S TEAM DELIVERED, SO
WE'RE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB ON
THAT SIDE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
VERY GOOD DISCUSSION.
ALL OF US ARE IN FAVOUR OF AS
MUCH SAFETY FOR OUR KIDS AROUND
SCHOOL SITES AS POSSIBLE.
I APPRECIATE SORT OF KEEPING AN
EYE ON THIS AND ANYTHING ELSE
FRANKLY THAT COMES ALONG THAT
CAN ENHANCE THE SAFETY OF OUR
KIDS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> MAYOR SANDER, I HAVE A
SPEAKER CARD FOR THIS ITEM.
DARRYL.
>> WELCOME, DARRYL.
>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CITY
COUNCIL MAYORS.
LISTENING TO ASSISTANT CHIEF
SCHELLDORF TALKING ABOUT
SPEED-RELATED ACCIDENTS TELLS ME
THAT THE PEOPLE ARE NOT PAYING
ATTENTION TO THE SIGN THAT'S
THERE RIGHT NOW.
CHANGING THE NUMBER ON THE SIGN
WILL NOT CHANGE THE PERSON'S
ACTIVITY.
ON MY WAY HERE TONIGHT AT THE
CORNER, I SAW A CAR COME THROUGH
AT 30, 35 MILES AN HOUR, AND
NEVER EVEN SLOWED DOWN FOR THE
STOP SIGN.
THE SIGNS AREN'T GOING TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING
TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE AND THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO SPEED
ARE GOING TO SPEED.
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO
OBEY THE LAW IS GOING TO OBEY
THE LAW, AND JUST PUTTING A
DIFFERENT NUMBER ON A SIGN IS
NT GOING TO ALTER THEIR
BEHAVIOR.
THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE
ON TO ITEM NUMBER 12.3,
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND
UPDATE.
>> THANK YOU, GUYS.
>> STAFF PRESENTATION?
>> SO THANK YOU HONORABLE MAYOR
AND COUNCIL.
I'M STACY DELANEY, THE COMMUNITY
ENHASMENT ANALYST FOR THE CITY
AND DANIEL IS WITH ME TONIGHT
WHO ALSO SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY
ENHANCEMENT FUND AND HAS BEEN A
REALLY VALUABLE MEMBER OF THE
CITY TEAM.
AS YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY
ENHANCEMENT FUND IS ONE OF THOSE
UNIQUE OVERALL PROJECTS THAT
TOUCHED EVERY DEPARTMENT IN THE
CITY AND ALL AREAS OF THE CITY
WHEN WE LOOK AT IT
GEOGRAPHICALLY.
AND ALTHOUGH THERE ARE TWO OF US
SITTING UP HERE TONIGHT, IT'S
CERTAINLY NOT A TWO-PERSON
PROJECT TEAM.
WE HAVE A WHOLE STAFF SUPPORTING
US FROM FINANCE TO
COMMUNICATIONS TO JUST ABOUT
EVERY OTHER DEPARTMENT WITHIN
THE CITY.
AND IT NOT ONLY TAKES THOSE
DEDICATED STAFF MEMBERS TO BRING
THESE PROJECTS TO FRUITION, BUT
IT ALSO TAKES WILLING
PARTICIPANTS IN THE COMMUNITY
WHETHER THOSE ARE NON-PROFIT
PARTNERS OR SCHOOLS AND
COMMUNITY-BASED PROJECTS THAT
COME FORTH.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE AWARE THAT THIS ISN'T JUST
A TWO-PERSON TEAM.
IT'S REALLY THE WHOLE CITY AND
THE EFFORT BEHIND IT, AND I ALSO
WANT TO THANK COUNCIL FOR YOUR
SUPPORT AND VISION AND ALSO THE
COMMUNITY SUPPORT, BECAUSE
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT TRUSTED US
THESE PROJECTS FORWARD AND
SUPPORT THE ADD-ON SELF-DECKS,
SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO
PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVERVIEW OF
THE COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND.
I'M GOING TO BRIEFLY GO OVER THE
NEXT APPLICATION CYCLE.
DANIEL WILL GO OVER THE MEASURE
CITIZENSHIP OVERSIGHT BOARD AND
THAT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY THE
PROJECT UPDATE AND WE'LL END
WITH A LEGACY FUND PROJECT
DISCUSSION.
IT SEEMS HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT
BACK IN NOVEMBER 2014, RON COVER
VOTERS APPROVED MEASURE H,
COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND.
THE SELF-TAX WENT INTO EFFECT ON
APRIL 1ST OF 2015 AND THE CITY
BEGAN RECEIVING THE NEW FUNDS IN
JUNE OF THAT YEAR, SO THIS JUNE
WILL BE THE FIVE-YEAR
ANNIVERSARY OF THE COMMUNITY
ENHANCEMENT FUND.
THE CHART ON THE SCREEN DEPICTS
THE PAST EIGHT YEARS OF GENERAL
FUND REVENUES FOR THE CITY.
THE GREEN SHADED AREA REPRESENTS
THE COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND
REVENUES THAT BEGAN DURING THE
2014-15 FISCAL YEAR AND DURING
THE MOST RECENT FULL YEAR,
2018-19, THE PROGRAM GENERATED
APPROXIMATELY $18.7 MILLION IN
ADDITIONAL SALES TAX REVENUES.
THIS FISCAL YEAR, WE ANTICIPATE
RECEIVING
APPROXIMATELY $8.8 MILLION.
THIS IS HIGHER THAN THE PREVIOUS
SALES TAX PROJECTIONS FOR THE
FISCAL YEAR.
LATER TONIGHT, WE'LL HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THE
ADDITIONAL ANTICIPATED REVENUES
AS PART OF THE LEGACY FUND
DISCUSSION AND THE PROJECT
UPDATES.
AND AS OF DECEMBER 31ST OF 2019,
WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED
APPROXIMATELY $3 MILLION OF THE
ANTICIPATED $8.8 MILLION.
AND BASED UPON THE MOST RECENT
SALES TAX PROJECTIONS, THE EARLY
INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE REVENUE
AND FISCAL YEAR 2021 WILL BE
APPROXIMATELY $8.8 MILLION AGAIN
AND WE ANTICIPATE A SLIGHT
UPTICK IN FISCAL YEAR 2021-22
WITH IT BEING APPROXIMATELY
APPROXIMATELY8.9 MILLION.
THE COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND
PROVIDES LOCALLY CONTROLLED
FUNDS FOR LOCAL PRIORITIES THAT
ARE IMPORTANT IN RANCHO CORDOVA.
AREAS INCLUDE PUBLIC SAFETY AND
PUBLIC WORKS, LEGACY PROJECTS,
COMMUNITY-BASED AND GRASS ROOTS
PROGRAMS AS WELL AS OTHER
INITIATIVES.
THE PIE CHART ON THE SCREEN
REPRESENTS THE BREAKDOWN OF
THESE COMMUNITY PRIORITY AREAS
BY PERCENTAGES AND YOU'LL
NOTICE, FOR INSTANCE, LEGACY
FUND, APPROXIMATELY 26% OF THE
OVERALL FUND WENT TOWARDS FUTURE
LEGACY PROJECTS.
WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS CURRENT
YEAR'S ALLOCATION COMPARED TO
THE PRIOR YEARS, IT'S VERY
CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'VE DONE
IN THE PAST.
THE LARGEST DIFFERENCE CAN BE
SEN IN THE LEGACY FUND.
THE PRIOR YEAR, THE LEGACY FUND
WAS ABOUT 33% AND AS YOU CAN
SEE, THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR,
IT'S 26%.
HOWEVER, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL
THE OTHER CATEGORIES, THEY ARE
BASICALLY WITHIN 1% OF WHAT WAS
ALLOCATED IN THE PAST.
I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PASS
THIS OVER TO DANIEL AND HE'S
GOING TO GO OVER SOME COMMUNITY
ENHANCEMENT FUND CITIZEN
OVERSIGHT BOARDS.
>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, AND
STAFF AND GUESTS.
SO AGAIN, THIS IS DANIEL,
MANAGEMENT TECHNICIAN FOR THE
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND.
SO ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT REQUIRED BY
THE BALLOT LANGUAGE, COUNCIL HAS
EXPRESSED AND DESIRED THAT THE
CITY CREATE A COMMUNITIENCE
HANSMENT FUND OVERSIGHT BOARD.
IT'S COMPOSED OF SEVEN
RESIDENTS, TWO OF WHICH ARE
STUDENTS, ONE BEING A HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENT AND THE OTHER A
PROMISE PROGRAM RECIPIENT.
THEY PROVIDE AN EXTRA LAYER OF
OVERSIGHT TO MONITOR THE
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND AND
PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND
RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY STAFF.
THE PICTURES HERE EACH HAVE SIX
PEOPLE HERE, BUT THERE ARE
INDEED SEVEN.
ALL PRIOR MEETING MATERIALS AND
MINUTES OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD
CAN BE ACCESSED FROM THE
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND.
WE HAVE TWO MEMBERS WITH US HERE
TONIGHT.
IF YOU WANT TO STAND UP?
THANK YOU, ALL.
ONE OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD TASKS
WAS TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ABOUT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO BE
HIGHLIGHTED IN THE ANNUAL
CITIZENS' REPORT.
THEIR IMPORTANT FEEDBACK HELPED
IS A SHAPE THE REPORT THAT WAS
MAILED TO RESIDENTS IN NOVEMBER.
I'M SURE YOU ALL RECOGNIZE THE
BEAUTIFUL REPORT HERE.
SO THE OVERSIGHT BOARD ALSO
CONFIRMED REVENUES RECEIVED IN
THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR IN
COMPARISON TO THE BUDGET.
ACTUAL EXPENDITURES TO ENSURE
THEY WERE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE
GRANT AWARDS AND BUDGET
ALLOCATION APPROVED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL AND REVIEWED THE CITY'S
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
IN ADDITION TO THE ANNUAL REPORT
AND THE WORK OF THE OVERSIGHT
BOARD, THE CITY PROVIDES AN OPEN
DATA TOOL THAT CAN BE SEARCHED
BY CATEGORY, SUB CATEGORY,
FISCAL YEAR, PROJECT STATUS, AND
THROUGH AN INTERACTIVE MAP.
THIS TOOL, THE OPEN DATA TOOL,
IS AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S
WEBSITE UNDER THE COMMUNITY
ENHANCEMENT FUND BUTTON SECTION.
>> SO OUR NEXT APPLICATION CYCLE
IS STARTING VERY SOON.
IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
AND NEW THIS YEAR WILL BE THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INFORMAL
ARTS STAKEHOLDERS GROUP.
WHEN THE ART STRATEGIC PLAN WAS
ADOPTED BY COUNCIL IN DECEMBER
OF 2019, ONE OF THE SHORT-TERM
GOALS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED WAS
TO ACTUALLY FORM AN INFORMAL ART
STAKEHOLDERS ADVISORY GROUP
WHICH WOULD ASSIST WITH THE
VISUAL ARTS GRANTS PROCESS, SO
WE HAVE BEGUN REACHING OUT TO
FORM THIS INITIAL GROUP WITH A
GOAL OF HAVING THE INDIVIDUALS
IDENTIFIED THIS MONTH.
IT'S ALSO ANTICIPATED THAT THEY
WILL MEET A FEW TIMES OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE MONTHS AND ASSIST
WITH DEVELOPING GUIDANCE FOR THE
VISUAL ARTS GRANT PROCESS AND
CALL FOR FUTURE PROPOSALS.
WE ALSO ANTICIPATE THAT THEY
WILL PROVIDE THEIR
RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY STAFF
FOR BOTH THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR
WHERE YOU'VE ALREADY SET
ASIDE $50,000 FOR PUBLIC ART AS
WELL AS THE FISCAL YEAR 2021
GRANT APPLICATION CYCLE.
WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT ABOUT
THIS 2021 GRANT APPLICATION
CYCLE IS THAT WHEN THEY DO THE
CALL FOR PROPOSALS, WE'RE
ANTICIPATING THAT THEY MAY
STIPULATE SOMETHING SUCH AS THIS
IS A DESIRED MEDIUM THAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR IN THE ARTS.
THEY MIGHT STIPULATE A SPECIFIC
LOCATION OR A TARGETED AREA OR
MAYBE A GENERAL THEME OR
SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.
SOME OF THE MORE ROBUST
ARTS-RELATED INITIATIVES WILL
REQUIRE AN ARTS COORDINATOR BUT
WE DO SEE THE FORMATION OF THIS
GROUP HAPPENING VERY SOON.
THE PROPOSED TIMELINE FOR THE
NEXT GRANT APPLICATION CYCLE IS
ON THE SCREEN.
THE APPLICATION CYCLE IS OPENING
APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK EARLIER
AND ALSO CLOSING ONE WEEK LATER.
THIS IS BEING DONE TO PROVIDE A
MORE ROBUST REVIEW PERIOD SO OUR
EDUCATION-RELATED PARTNERS CAN
REVIEW ALL APPLICATIONS PRIOR TO
GIVING AN ENDORSEMENT OR
WITHHOLDING THEIR ENDORSEMENT
AND IT WILL ALSO ALLOW SOME
ADDITIONAL TIME FOR THE ARTS
STAKEHOLDERS ADVISORY GROUP TO
MEET AND TO ASSIST WITH THAT
CALL FOR PROPOSALS.
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE CHANGING THE
START AND STOP TIMES SLIGHTLY,
IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY CHANGE WHEN
YOU'LL BE MAKING BUDGET
DECISIONS WHEN WE ANTICIPATE THE
RESOLUTION TO BE ADOPTED OR WHEN
FUNDING BECOMES AVAILABLE.
NEXT WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER A
FINANCIAL UPDATE FOR THE
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND.
SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND, THE
CITY HAS COLLECT REVVED NEWS
TOTALING
APPROXIMATELY $33 MILLION AND WE
HAVE EXPENDED
APPROXIMATELY $23 MILLION, AND
THAT WAS THROUGH JUNE 30TH OF
2019.
SOME PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS TAKE
MORE THAN ONE FISCAL YEAR TO
COMPLETE, SO THERE'S SOME
INSTANCES IN WHICH A PROJECT MAY
BE STARTED ONE FISCAL YEAR BUT
IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY COMPLETE
UNTIL THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR.
SO THIS ITEM ON THE SCREEN
ACTUALLY IS A DEPICTION OF THOSE
FUNDING CATEGORIES THAT HAVE
BEEN ESTABLISHED BY COUNCIL AND
WHAT WAS ADOPTED IN FISCAL YEAR
'19, 20.
THIS WAS THE SAME INFORMATION
PRESENTED IN A PERCENTAGE FORMAT
HERE BUT HERE, YOU CAN SEE THE
ACTUAL DOLLARS ASSIGNED IN
FISCAL YEAR '90/20.
YOU'LL NOTICE ON THE BOTTOM, WE
HAD APPROVED PROJECTS
FOR $8.2 MILLION AND AS I
INDICATED EARLIER, WE ARE
ANTICIPATING REVENUES TO BE
HIGHER AT APPROXIMATE
ALREADY $8.8 MILLION THIS FISCAL
YEAR.
WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND
TRANSITION TO A PROJECT UPDATE
AND THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO
LEGACY PROJECTS.
SO ALTHOUGH WE'RE ONLY GOING TO
DISCUSS ONE COMMUNITY-BASED
PROJECT TONIGHT, THERE'S
ACTUALLY MORE THAN 50 PROJECTS
EACH YEAR THAT MAKE UP THE
COMMUNITY GRANTS WITHIN THE
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND.
WE DO PROVIDE UPDATES FOR ABOUT
FIVE MONTHS IN THE FORM OF CHECK
PRESENTATIONS TO GIVE YOU AND
THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT
THOSE VARIOUS PROJECTS AND THE
VAST MAJORITY OF THE 50 OR SO
PROJECTS EACH YEAR START
GENERALLY BETWEEN THE JULY AND
OCTOBER TIME FRAME AND THEN THEY
TYPICALLY END THE FOLLOWING
JUNE.
SOMETIMES A PROJECT SUCH AS THE
LINCOLN VILLAGE GATEWAY SIGN
TAKES A LITTLE LONGER AND THAT'S
ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT
CONSTRUCTION-RELATED PROJECTS.
THE LINCOLN VILLAGE COMMUNITY
SIGN PROJECT WAS ACTUALLY FUNDED
IN FISCAL YEAR '18, 19 AND THE
SIGN HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH
INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY.
IT WILL BE INSTALLED AT VANGUARD
AND THE MONUMENT LOCATION IS
LISTED WHERE THE BLUE DOT IS ON
THE SCREEN.
THE CITY HAS GONE OUT TO BID
MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIND A
CONTRACTOR AT A REASONABLE PRICE
FOR THIS PROJECT.
THE LATEST ROUND OFFED BIDS
PRODUCED TWO RESPONSES, AND IN
ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS
PROJECT, COUNCIL WILL NEED TO
APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING,
APPROXIMATELY $30,000 MORE THAN
WHAT YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY
ALLOCATED TOWARDS THIS PROJECT.
IF APPROVED, MANUFACTURING OF
THE PIECES WILL TAKE
APPROXIMATELY EIGHT WEEKS AND
THE SIGN COULD BE INSTALLED BY
JUNE 30TH OF THIS YEAR.
THERE'S A RENDERING OF THE SIGN
HERE ON THE SCREEN, AND JUST TO
REFRESH EVERYONE'S MEMORY, THIS
IS A SIGN THAT WAS ACTUALLY
REQUESTED BY RESIDENTS IN
LINCOLN VILLAGE.
THEY HELPED DESIGN THE SIGN.
FOR THEM, IT WAS A DREAM TO HAVE
A MONUMENT THAT WOULD ANNOUNCE
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE LINCOLN
VILLAGE NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT
PEOPLE WOULD KNOW YOU'RE HERE IN
RANCHO CORDOVA AND WELCOMED TO
THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
COUNCIL DID APPROVE $20,000
TOWARDS THE DESIGN AND BUILD OF
THE SIGN AND LIKE I MENTIONED
WERE REWILL NEED AN
ADDITIONAL $30,000 TO ACTUALLY
CONSTRUCT AND INSTALL THE
NEIGHBORHOOD SIGN.
>> AND OUR ESTIMATE WAS $9,000?
>> THE ESTIMATE TO ORIGINALLY
DESIGN AND BUILD WAS $20,000.
AND THEN BASED UPON EVERY
ESTIMATE THEREAFTER TO ACTUALLY
BID OUT THE PROJECT, IT WAS MUCH
HIGHER.
>> WE CAN PROBABLY SAVE A LITTLE
MONEY BY NOT PUTTING THE
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND LOGO
ON THERE.
MIGHT SAVE $20.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I GUESS YOU COULD APPROVE,
YOU KNOW, $29,980.
SO I AM LOOKING FOR YOUR
FEEDBACK ON THIS AND IF YOU
WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO
APPROVE THE $30,000 MORE NEEDED
TO APPROVE THIS PROJECT, WE ARE
READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT
THIS SPRING.
>> THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM IN
THAT SENSE OR DO YOU JUST WISH
US TO EXPRESS OUR OPINION?
>> SO HAS ANYBODY DONE VALUE
ENGINEERING ON THIS?
>> YES.
I THINK OUR DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN
INVOLVED, VERY INVOLVED IN THIS.
SO I DON'T THINK, MY THOUGHT IS
THAT A FORMAL -- ADAM, PLEASE
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG -- A
FORMAL VOTE CALL IS NOT NEEDED.
WE JUST NEED TO PROCEED WITH THE
ALLOCATION OF THE FUNDS AND GET
THE DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL.
>> I THINK WE'RE LOOKING FOR
PERHAPS AN OBJECTION THEN?
>> IF YOU'RE ASKING A VOTE
CONCERNING MONEY, YOU SHOULD
TAKE A ROLL CALL.
>> IT WOULD BE PRUDENT IF THE
COUNCIL GIVES US CLEAR DIRECTION
WHETHER YOU WANT TO SPEND THE
FUNDS OR NOT.
>> DO YOU WANT A MOTION?
>> YES.
>> ALL RIGHT, I MOVE APPROVAL.
I ACTUALLY KIND OF AGREE WITH
DAVID.
I MEAN, I KNOW THIS IS SILLY,
BUT NOT TO NITPICK ABOUT IT, BUT
I WOULD REMOVE THE COMMUNITY
ENHANCEMENT THING AND PUT THE
LOGO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
MORE INTENSE SERIES OF DOTS AND
BALANCE IT OUT FOR A DESIGN
PERSPECTIVE.
>> YEP.
>> BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HE'S
ASKING FOR.
>> MOTION MADE.
IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> ALL RIGHT, MOTION MADE AND
SECONDED.
>> ANY CHANCE FOR LINDA BUDGE TO
WEIGH IN ON DESIGN?
>> EVEN WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO PAY
FOR SOMETHING.
>> ROLL CALL, PLEASE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER TERRY?
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER BUDGE?
>> YES.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER McGARVEY?
>> AYE.
>> VICE MAYOR GATEWOOD.
>> AYE.
>> MAYOR SANDER?
>> AYE.
>> ACTUALLY, I THINK ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT'S GOING TO BE WORTH
THE $30,000 IS THE PEOPLE IN
LINCOLN VILLAGE, WHEN WE'VE
GOTTEN PEOPLE LIKE LORI ANNE AND
OTHERS IN THERE, THEY'VE ENDED
UP WITH MOVIES IN THE PARK.
THEY HAVE CHRISTMAS PARADES.
THEY'VE GOT A LOT MORE PRIDE IN
THEMSELVES AND I THINK THIS
WOULD BE SOMETHING ELSE THAT IT
SHOWS WHAT'S CHANGED IN LINCOLN
VILLAGE AND IT'S SOMETHING WE
NEED.
SO I'M ALL FOR THAT.
>> ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO
LEGACY PROJECTS?
>> YES, I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE
SCREEN TO CATCH BACK UP.
SO THE COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT
FUND PROVIDES FUNDING FOR
LARGE-SCALE COMMUNITY PROJECTS
THROUGH AN ANNUAL LEGACY FUND
ALLOCATION AND LEGACY FUND
PROJECTS TYPICALLY CROSS
MULTIPLE FISCAL YEARS AND WE'RE
GOING TO GO AND LOOK AT EACH OF
THE APPROVED LEGACY FUND
PROJECTS AND ONE NEW PROJECT
THAT'S ANTICIPATED TO RECEIVE
FUTURE FUNDING.
SO WE'RE GOING TO START OFF BY
LOOKING AT THREE PROJECTS.
THE COMMUNITY POOL PROJECT, THE
SOFTBALL MODERNIZATION AND THE
CIVIC CENTER.
THE SOFTBALL PROJECT IS A NEW
SEVEN-FIELD SOFTBALL COMPLEX AND
FOR DECADES, THAT'S ALSO BEEN
HOME TO CORDOVA GIRLS' SOFTBALL.
THIS PROJECT IS DONE IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH FOLSOM CORDOVA
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
THE OVERALL CONSTRUCTION COST OF
THE PROJECT IS
APPROXIMATELY $8 MILLION AND THE
CITY AS ALLOCATED UP
THE $3 MILLION TOWARDS THAT
PROJECT AND THE FIRST SEASON AT
THE NEW COMPLEX BEGINS THIS
MARCH, SO IN JUST TWO SHORT
MONTHS, WE'LL HAVE PEOPLE
PLAYING AT THE NEW SOFTBALL
COMPLEX.
THE NEXT PROJECT IS GOING TO BE
THE COMMUNITY POOL PROJECT.
>> HOLD ON A SECOND.
[ INAUDIBLE ] CORDOVA PARK AND
REC DISTRICT IS ONE OF MY
CLIENTS, SO I'M GOING TO EXCUSE
MYSELF AT THIS TIME.
>> ARE YOU ASKING FOR MORE
MONEY?
>> NO, JUST INFORMATIONAL.
SO THE CITY HAS COMMITTED
COMMITTED $3 MILLION FROM THE
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND
TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY POOL
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AT THE
COMMUNITY PARK.
WE'VE ALSO DEDICATED $400,000
FROM PARK RENOVATION FEES
TOWARDS THIS PROJECT.
THIS POOL PROJECT IS IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH CORDOVA
RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICTS
AND THE TOTAL PROJECT COST IS
ESTIMATED TO BE
APPROXIMATELY $9 MILLION.
CRPD HAS DESIGNED AND WILL BEGIN
A PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT TWO POOLS
BOTH A RECREATIONAL POOL AND A
LAP POOL AND A NEW POOL SUPPORT
BUILDING AT THE SITE.
THE CONSTRUCTION IS ANTICIPATED
TO START THIS SPRING AND THE
GRAND OPENING IS ANTICIPATED IN
THE SECOND HALF OF 2021.
IT'S BEEN NEAT TO SEE THE
REQUEST FOR BIDS GO INTO THE
PAPER.
THE CIVIC CENTER PROJECT, AS
YOU'RE WELL AWARE, OR THE
VISIONING HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE
OVER SEVERAL MONTHS AND THE
SELECTION PROCESS FOR A
DEVELOPMENT PARTER IF IN THE
NEARLY TEN-ACRE SITE IS UNDERWAY
AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE
SHARED WITH COUNCIL THIS SPRING,
SO IN JUST A FEW MONTHS ON THE
CIVIC CENTER PROJECT.
COUNCIL HAS COMMITTED $4 MILLION
TOWARDS THIS PROJECT THROUGH THE
LEGACY FUND.
ONE OF THE OTHER EXISTING LEGACY
FUND PROJECTS IS A PROJECT AT
THE SACRAMENTO CHILDREN'S
MUSEUM.
COUNCIL HAS APPROVED $200,000
AND THAT WAS AS OF JUNE OF 2018.
WE CAME BACK TO YOU IN THE FALL
OF 2019 AND PROVIDED INFORMATION
ON THE MUSEUM'S VISIONING AND
PART OF THE FUNDING HAS ALREADY
BEEN USED FOR CONCEPTS AND
DESIGNS, FOR FUNDRAISING AND
BOARD DEVELOPMENT, OPERATING
COSTS AND EXPENSES, AS WELL AS A
FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A FUTURE
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN.
THE FEASIBILITY STUDY IS
CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.
WE ANTICIPATE THAT IT WILL BE
COMPLETE IN LATE FEBRUARY 2020
AND THAT WE'LL RECEIVE THE
REPORT FINDINGS SHORTLY
THEREAFTER.
IT'S ALSO ANTICIPATED THAT A
FUTURE FUNDING DISCUSSION WILL
BE NEEDED THIS SPRING AND IT
WILL BE FOLDED INTO THE UPCOMING
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND GRANT
CYCLE.
AT THIS TIME, APPROXIMATELY $2
MILLION OR MORE WILL BE NEEDED
TO MOVE THE FIRST TWO PHASES OF
THE CAPITAL PROJECT FORWARD.
AND THE FUTURE YOUTH CENTER, WE
TOUCHED ON THIS PROJECT A FEW
TIMES TONIGHT AND ALTHOUGH IT'S
NOT CURRENTLY A LEGACY FUND
PROJECT, JUST YESTERDAY, THE
DEDICATION OF THE YOUTH CENTER
TOOK PLACE AT THE INVESTMENT
CIRCLE LOCATION HERE IN RANCHO
CORDOVA.
THIS, AS YOU KNOW, IS A
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND
CENTER FOR PRAISE MIN MINISTRIE.
WE HAVE ENTERED INTO A LEASE
AGREEMENT, SO 25-YEAR LEASE WITH
AN OPTION FOR ANOTHER 25 YEARS
AT THE COST OF $1PER YEAR.
VISIONING FOR THE SPACE IS GOING
TO TAKE PLACE OVER 2020 AND WE
ANTICIPATE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
NEED $2 MILLION OR MORE TO
RENOVATE THIS FACILITY AND BRING
THE FORMER CHURCH SITE INTO A
MODERN YOUTH CENTER.
LIKE THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, WE
ANTICIPATE COMING BACK TO YOU
THIS SPRING AND FOLDING IT INTO
THE COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND
GRANT CYCLE DISCUSSIONS.
I'M GOING TO INVITE UP ALBERT
STRICKER TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON
THE LITTLE LEAGUE PROJECT.
>> I LIKE HOW STACEY PRIMED THE
PUMP AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO
BRING UP THIS ONE.
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.
>> POTENTIALLY A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAN THAT.
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR SANDER
AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, ALBERT
CITRICKER WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS
DEPARTMENT AND THE LITTLE LEAGUE
HAS A LONG HISTORY IN THE CITY
OF RANCHO CORDOVA AND
UNFORTUNATELY SOME OF THE
FACILITIES ARE SHOWING
SIGNIFICANT WEAR AND TEAR, SO A
TEAM INCLUDING COLLABORATING
WITH RANCHO CORDOVA LITTLE
LEAGUES, THE PARK DISTRICT, AND
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND CITY
REPRESENTATIVES HAVE COME
TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY MEASURES
THAT COULD IMPROVE THE FACILITY.
SPECIFIC ITEMS IDENTIFIED ALONG
THAT ROAD ARE TO RENOVATE THE
FIELDS, NEW FENCING BACKSTOPS,
BLEACHERS, BATTING CAGES,
ENTRYWAY, PLAZA, CONCESSION
STANDS, AND PARKING IS A
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE.
IN LOOKING AT THE PROJECT, THESE
IMPROVEMENTS COULD BE PHASED IN
SEVERAL WAYS AND WE'VE
IDENTIFIED IN COLLABORATION WITH
RANCHO CORDOVA LITTLE LEAGUE AND
THE PARK DISTRICT AND SCHOOL
DISTRICT THOSE POTENTIAL
OPTIONS.
A FUND PHASE 1A WHICH WOULD BE A
COLLABORATION WITH THE PARK
DISTRICT, LITTLE LEAGUE, AND THE
CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA IS
$150,000 TO IMPROVE THE
BACKSTOP, BLEACHERS, CONCRETE,
FENCES AND EQUIPMENT, AND VERY
LIMITED FIELDWORK IN THAT
WESTERN-MOST AND LARGEST FIELD.
A PHASE 1B ADDRESSING THE TWO
MIDDLE FIELDS WOULD ADD THE
PLAZA, SNACK BAR, WITH
RESTROOMS, IMPROVED BACKSTOPS,
BLEACHERS, FENCES, AND EQUIPMENT
IN FIELDS AND ONE OF THE BIG
ISSUES THAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING
WITH IS PARKING.
IT'S EXTREMELY TIGHT ADJACENT TO
THE LITTLE LEAGUE, AND IN
COLLABORATION WITH THE CHURCH ON
THE NORTH SIDE OF ZINFANDEL,
WE'VE IDENTIFIED LOCATIONS TO
INCREASE PARKING CAPACITY THERE%
COUNCIL HAS COMMITTED $3 MILLION
TO THIS PROJECT ALREADY TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH PHASES 1A AND B, AN
ADDITIONAL APPROXIMATELY $2.
APPROXIMATELY $2.5 MILLION WOULD
BE NEEDED.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE TO PHASE
2, THAT WOULD IMPROVE THE FINAL
FIELD AND RELOCATE AND RENOVATE
THE BATTING CAGES.
AND THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL%
UP TO $1 MILLION, DEPENDING UPON
THE LEVEL OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT
WERE INSTALLED THERE.
AND WITH THAT, I'M OPEN TO ANY
QUESTIONS.
>> THE GRAND TOTAL IS?
I'M SORRY.
WE'RE ADDING ALL THREE OF THESE?
>> IT'S UP TO APPROXIMATELY $6.
$6.5 MILLION.
>> SO IS THE SCHOOL SITE, IS
THAT A HARD BOUNDARY BETWEEN
LITTLE LEAGUE SITE AND THE
SCHOOL SITE IN TERMS OF
IMPROVEMENTS THAT COULD BE DONE
CLOSER TO THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS?
>> WE'VE HAD SIGNIFICANT
CONVERSATION WITH THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT FOR WHAT IS FEASIBLE.
THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF HARD SPACE AND
A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE
AND BASED ON THAT SIGNIFICANT
CONVERSATION AND NEGOTIATION,
THIS IS WHERE WE'VE LANDED.
ONE OF THE KEY FEATURES THAT THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS REQUESTED IS
THAT IT IS OPTIONALLY OPEN
BETWEEN THE GREEN SPACES AND THE
HARDSCAPE, SO CERTAIN MEASURES
INCLUDING MOVABLE FENCES WOULD
BE INSTALED ALONG WITH THESE
IMPROVEMENTS TO ALLOW THIS WERE
IT TO OPERATE AGAIN AS A MORE
FULL-TIME SCHOOL.
>> SO THAT'S JUST IN THE CASE
THAT IT MIGHT BE REACTIVATED AS
A SCHOOL SITE, AS OPPOSED TO A
CURRENT REQUIREMENT?
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> SO IS ALL THAT IN WRITING?
>> NOT FORMALLY IN WRITING AT
THIS TIME.
>> DON'T YOU THINK WE NEED --
DON'T YOU THINK IT NEEDS TO BE
PART OF A FORMAL CONTRACT?
>> THAT'S CERTAINLY A MEASURE WE
CAN TAKE.
>> IT JUST SEEMS TO ME -- I
MEAN, NOT THAT ANYBODY ON THE
SCHOOL BOARD TODAY OR -- AND
ACTUALLY, IT SEEMS TO ME WE NEED
AN AGREEMENT WITH THE PARK
DISTRICT ALSO, BUT NOT THAT
ANYONE ON EITHER OF THOSE BOARDS
WOULD TURN AROUND TOMORROW AND
DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BUT TEN
YEARS, 15 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD,
YOU DON'T KNOW WHO WILL BE
THERE.
>> WOULD THIS BE A CITY-MANAGED
PROJECT AS OPPOSED TO A SCHOOL
DISTRICT-MANAGED PROJECT?
>> IT'S ANTICIPATED FOR THAT
PHASE 1A, IT'S ACTUALLY
ANTICIPATED THAT THE PARK
DISTRICT WOULD MANAGE THAT
PARTICULAR PROJECT.
FOR PHASES 1B AND PHASE 2, IT
WOULD BE A COLLABORATION WITH
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND WE'VE EVALUATED VARIOUS
GENERAL CONTRACTING OPTIONS THAT
COULD POTENTIALLY SAVE SOME
SIGNIFICANT DOLLARS AND
UTILIZING SOME OF THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT'S SERVICES FOR GENERAL
CONTRACTING.
>> OKAY.
YEAH, THERE'S A CAREFUL BALANCE
THERE.
I MEAN, WE'VE HAD SOME HICCUPS,
I WOULD SAY, ON THE GIRLS'
SOFTBALL COMPLEX, UNANTICIPATED
ALTERATIONS, SOME DO TO ED CODE,
SOME DUE TO I'M NOT SURE, NOT
ENOUGH CONVERSATION PERHAPS
BETWEEN THE PARTIES, SOME
ALTERATIONS TO THAT PROJECT THAT
WE MIGHT HAVE TO GO AND RETROFIT
AT A FUTURE DATE.
BUT I JUST WANT TO BE SURE WE
LEARN A LOT ABOUT THAT AND TRY
TO BE AS EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE
IN HOW THIS IS ROLLED OUT,
INCLUDING TAPPING, YOU KNOW,
SIGNIFICANT VOLUNTEER RESOURCES
THAT ARE POSSIBLE.
AND ACTUALLY NOT JUST FOR THIS
PROJECT BUT FOR THE ONE THAT WE
JUST TALKED ABOUT, THE YOUTH
CENTER.
CYRUS, YESTERDAY YOU CALLED FOR
VOLUNTEERS IN DONATIONS IN THAT
ROOM AND I WAS STANDING NEXT TO
YOU WHEN THREE OF THEM WALKED UP
OR AT LEAST TWO OF THEM WALKED
UP AND ONE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY
OF PEOPLE SAYING, YOU KNOW, I
CAN DO A WHOLE SWATH OF THE
CONTRACTING HERE FOR AN
EXTREMELY REDUCED RATE.
WE HAVE TO BE SURE WE HAVE TO
STRUCTURE THAT WOULD ALLOW THAT.
>> IN BOTH OF THOSE CASES, WE
NEED TO ENSURE THAT EITHER THE
REQUIREMENTS OF CITY MONEY OR
SCHOOL DISTRICT MONEY DOES NOT
PUT --
>> EXACTLY.
>>  LIMITATIONS OR BURDENSOME
REGULATION ON THEIR
VOLUNTEERING.
>> IS THERE A NON-PROFIT THAT
COULD MANAGE THIS AND ESCAPE
SOME OF THE DIFFICULTIES WE HAVE
WITH PUBLIC CONTRACTING?
YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT WOULD
TAKE, I WOULD SAY WE WOULD BE
INTERESTED IN PURR SUING.
>> PERSONALLY, I DON'T SEE HOW
THAT'S LEGAL IN ANY WAY,
CONSIDERING GOVERNMENT FUNDING
GOING INTO IT ON TWO DIFFERENT
PLOTS OF GOVERNMENT LAND, SO
WHATEVER THE CONSTRAINTS ARE
THAT COME WITH THAT.
>> WELL, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT.
>> AND THE PARK DISTRICT AND
IT'S OUR MONEY.
>> YEAH, BUT THAT WOULDN'T APPLY
TO THE YOUTH CENTER.
>> I DO AGREE WITH MR. TERRY'S
COMMENTS.
>> WE'RE THE LEASE HOLDER.
>> ANY TIME OUR PROPERTY OR
MONEY IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN
THEIR PROJECT, WE NEED TO BE
COMPLIANT.
>> WELL, I DON'T DISAGREE WITH
THAT.
FIRST, I'LL JUST STATE IT'S MY
PERSONAL OPINION THERE ARE
RIDICULOUS STATE REGULATIONS
THAT BAN PRIVATE CONTRIBUTIONS
TO PUBLIC PROJECTS.
THAT IS INSANITY.
BUT THAT'S THE REGULATION WE
LIVE WITH DUE TO OUR STATE
LEGISLATURE.
BUT TWO, IF THERE IS A STRUCTURE
THAT ALLOWS US TO BE WISER WITH
DOLLARS, THEN I WOULD SAY WE
PURSUE THAT.
>> WE'LL CERTAINLY KEEP AN OPEN
MIND TO ANY STRUCTURES THAT
ALLOW US WITHIN THE REGULATIONS
TO OPERATE AS EFFICIENTLY AS
POSSIBLE.
AS YOU HAD MENTIONED, ALSO
MORALLY ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
PROPERTY, THAT IS GOVERNED BY
THE DIGS OF STATE ARCHITECT, SO
THERE ARE SOME SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES IN DESIGNING AND
CONSTRUCTING UNDERNEATH THAT
SUPERVISION.
>> UNDER THE ED CODE.
>> HEY, ALBERT, JUST TWO REALLY
QUICK QUESTIONS.
ARE WE GETTING NEW BATHROOMS
WITH THIS?
>> BATHROOMS WOULD BE A PART OF
THE SNACK BAR, SO YES.
>> AWESOME, AWESOME.
SECOND, IS THERE ANY CHANCE WE
COULD TURN ALL THIS STUFF
THEY'RE PAVING OVER INTO
PARKING?
JUST RIGHT THERE, JUST ALL THAT?
THEY GOT RID OF THE BASKETBALL
COURTS, THE GYMNASIUM, THEY GOT
RID OF EVERYTHING AND IF WE'RE
WILLING TO, YOU KNOW, KICK IN
THE CONCRETE AND STRIPES, IS
THERE ANY CHANCE THEY WOULD LET
US START PARKING HERE BECAUSE
THIS IS ALL GONE NOW.
THEY GOT RID OF ALL THAT AND
IT'S JUST CONCRETE.
AND THEY GOT RID OF THE
BASKETBALL COURTS HERE SO
THERE'S NOTHING HERE ANYMORE, SO
WE COULD ACTUALLY DRIVE IN HERE
AND GO HERE.
>> BUT YOU KIND OF HAVE AN
ACCESS PROBLEM.
>> WELL, THEY DON'T SHOW IT
RIGHT HERE, BUT YOU JUST GO
RIGHT OUT THIS WAY.
>> NO, I UNDERSTAND, I AGREE
WITH YOU, OKAY, BUT YOU'RE ONLYY
ACCESS TO THIS AREA IS THIS ONE
LITTLE CONSTRICTED AREA.
>> THEY'RE TAKING THIS AWAY TOO,
SO THIS IS GONE.
>> WHICH?
>> THIS THING.
THAT'S GONE NOW TOO.
SO NOW IT'S JUST STRAIGHT PATH.
>> OKAY, WELL, YOU'D NEED
TRAFFIC CONTROL.
>> YES, I'M WILLING TO DO THAT
JUST SO I DON'T HAVE TO PARK WAY
DOWN HERE TO WALK MY KID ALL THE
WAY HERE TO GET MY NACHOS AND
WALK BACK.
I MEANT, TO WATCH HIS GAME.
>> BUT WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU'VE GOT IT.
PHASE 1B PARKING.
THE CHURCH OFFERED -- THIS WILL
BE HUGE.
I'M NOT SURE THAT ALL THAT IS
NEEDED.
MAYBE OVER HERE, BUT THIS WILL
BE HUGE INCREASE.
>> NEW MEMBERS, THIS IS FULL.
YOU HAVE TO PAY PEOPLE TO GET
HERE AND HERE.
LOOK HOW EASY THAT IS.
AND GARY CAN PARK RIGHT THERE,
SO CLOSE.
>> SO I HAVE A DIFFERENT
QUESTION ABOUT THAT EXACT SAME
SPOT.
I KNOW AT ONE POINT ALREADY
THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT
WHAT TECHNOLOGY OR OTHER
PRODUCTS WE COULD USE THAT MIGHT
BE LIKE A RUG THAT YOU COULD
ROLL OUT THAT WOULD BE -- THAT
YOU COULD ROLL BACK UP AT SOME
OTHER POINT TO TEMPORARILY USE
THAT SPACE FOR ANOTHER FIELD.
WHERE DID THAT CONVERSATION GO?
AT ONE POINT, WE HAD EXPLORED
USING THIS BLACKTOP FOR
ADDITIONAL PROBABLY T-BALL
FIELDS.
>> GOOD QUESTION.
>> I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT
PARTICULAR CONVERSATION OF
TEMPORARILY ROLLING OUT A
PLAYING SURFACE.
>> BELIEVING IT OUT FOR THE
SEASON AND TAKING IT OFF.
THAT'S WHAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT.
>> THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK
INTO MORE CLOSELY.
WHAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED IS THAT
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
UNFORTUNATELY IS NOT SO FAR BEEN
OPEN TO USING THAT AREA FOR
ADDITIONAL PARKING, AND IN
WORKING WITH DENNIS LA MANCHA
AND THE RANCHO CORDOVA LITTLE
LEAGUE TEAM, THIS FIELD LAYOUT
DOES MEET THEIR NEEDS, INCLUDING
FOR T-BALL.
>> I THINK PART OF THE ISSUE,
COUNCIL, THAT WE HAVE, AND WE'VE
TRIED TO ADDRESS THIS AT THE TWO
BY TWO AND IT'S PROBABLY TIME TO
BRING IT UP AGAIN IS PART OF
THIS IS A POLITICAL ISSUE THAT
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS UNWILLING
TO GO TO THEIR STAFF BASICALLY
AND BASICALLY DECIDE, THIS IS NO
LONGER A SCHOOL SITE.
AND THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IN
THE FUTURE.
AND SO THE ISSUE THAT WE'RE
RUNNING INTO WITH A LOT OF THIS
SPACE IS THEIR DESIGN IS WE'VE
GOT TO KEEP IT THIS WAY, BECAUSE
SOME DAY WE MAY MAKE IT A SCHOOL
AGAIN AND WE WANT TO PRESERVE
THE RIGHT TO HAVE THAT AND IF WE
WE'LL HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE
CITY AND THE PARK DISTRICT AND
CONVINCE THEM TO GIVE UP PARTS
OF IS LITTLE LEAGUE SITE, RIGHT?
IF THE SCHOOL BOARD WOULD JUST
SAY THAT'S NEVER GOING TO BE A
SCHOOL AGAIN, WHICH I CAN TELL
YOU CITY UNIFIED HAS DONE THAT
WITH MULTIPLE SITES AND SAID
THESE SITES ARE NOW CLOSED AND
WILL NEVER BE SCHOOLS ANYMORE.
BECAUSE WHENEVER YOU PUT THESE
COMMITTEES TO DO TO DECIDE WHAT
TO DO WITH THE SCHOOL,
INEVITABLY YOU GET A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T WANT IT TO
CLOSE, SO THE FIRST THING THEY
DO IS SAY THEY'VE GOT TO SAVE IT
TO BE A SCHOOL SOME DAY.
THEY TURNED THEM INTO COMMUNITY
CENTERS, NON-PROFITS TAKE THEM
OVER AND MANAGE A LOT OF THEM.
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS STILL
MANAGING THIS THEMSELVES.
THEY PUT THEIR OWN PROGRAMS
THERE, TRAINING FACILITIES AND
OTHER THINGS THERE.
WE PROBABLY JUST NEED TO
CONTINUE TO PRESS UPON THEM, WE
COULD HAVE A MUCH BETTER LITTLE
LEAGUE FACILITY IF THEY JUST
AGREED THIS IS NEVER GOING TO BE
A SCHOOL AGAIN, SO I JUST WANT
TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE
SAME PAGE ABOUT THIS ADDITIONAL
SPACE.
THE REASON THEY'RE NOT BEING
FLEXIBLE IS THEY'RE TRYING TO
RESERVE THE DESIGN THAT WILL
STILL MEET THE CODE TO MAKE IT A
SCHOOL SOME DAY.
>> SO I WANTED TO PROVIDE AN
ALTERNATE PERSPECTIVE.
IT'S PROBABLY BEEN ALMOST TEN
YEARS SINCE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
CLOSED CORDOVA LANE AND
RIVERVIEW AND I WAS ON THE TWO
BY TWO AT THAT POINT, AND WE
TOLD THE SUPERINTENDENT AT THAT
POINT THAT WE TRULY DID NOT WANT
THEM TO TEAR DOWN EITHER ONE OF
THESE PROPERTIES, PERIOD.
AND THE EXAMPLE, YOU'VE GOT TO
GO BACK --
>> [ INAUDIBLE ]
>> NO, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GO BACK
TO SAM ONE UNIFIED IN THE '80S
AND THE EARLY '90S WHEN THEY
CLOSED A WHOLE BUNCH OF SCHOOLS,
AND I'M THINKING OF THE ONE ON
POPE AVENUE AND I'M THINKING OF
THE ONE ON -- IT STARTS WITH A G
OR A J -- IN THE VICINITY OF
HOWE AND ONE OF THE CROSS
STREETS IN THERE.
AND THEY SOLD ALL THE PROPERTY
OFF FOR HOUSING.
SO WHAT HAPPENED?
WHEN YOU DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
PEOPLE LIVING IN THAT AREA, YOU
DIDN'T NEED THE SCHOOL, BUT WHEN
YOU TURN THE SCHOOL SITES INTO
HOUSING AND ALL THESE PEOPLE
CAME IN WITH THEIR KIDS, THEN
YOU NEEDED THE SCHOOLS.
AND THEY LEARNED A VERY HARD
LESSON THERE AND WE ASKED THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY TO
NOT TEAR DOWN THESE BUILDINGS,
TO REUSE THEM SOME WAY.
AND SO THE PARK DISTRICT WENT
INTO RIVERVIEW FOR A WHILE AND
PROVIDED PROGRAMMING AND NOW THE
ACADEMY IS OVER THERE, SO THAT'S
A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW A
FORMER SCHOOL WAS USED FOR
SOMETHING TEMPORARY AND THEN GOT
REUSED FOR SCHOOL AND THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT ACTUALLY HAS A NEED FOR
THE SPACE THEY'VE GOT IN THIS
BUILDING RIGHT NOW.
>> BUT IT'S NOT A SCHOOL.
>> OKAY, BUT MAYBE IT WILL BE AT
SOME POINT.
>> I DOUBT IT.
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF --
>> IF THEY OPEN THIS SCHOOL -- I
AGREE WITH YOU.
IF THEY SELL A SCHOOL SITE AND
PUT HOUSING IN, THEY'RE CREATING
ANOTHER PROBLEM.
>> THEY ARE.
>> THAT'S NOT A WISE STRATEGY.
BUT SAYING THIS IS GOING TO
CONTINUE TO BE A TRAINING
FACILITY AND A DAYCARE FACILITY
AND A COUPLE OTHER THINGS AND
NEVER A SCHOOL AGAIN MEANS WE
CAN UTILIZE THAT SPACE IN A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAY.
THE CONSTRAINTS OUR STAFF AND
LITTLE LEAGUE ARE DEALING WITH
IS BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
IS SAYING SOME DAY IT MIGHT BE A
SCHOOL, SO WE'RE NOT GIVING UP
THE SPACE.
THAT'S THE REALITY.
YOUR SCENARIO, THAT IS TRUE,
THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT
EITHER BUT THEY CAN ALSO SAY
THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A SCHOOL
SITE.
>> BUT THIS IS PROBABLY WORTH
EXPLORING, MAYBE WE BROUGHT THIS
UP BEFORE.
>> THEY DIDN'T REALLY ENGAGE US.
>> THEY JUST SAID, YEAH, THAT'S
WHAT WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN AND
THE POLICY FOR NOW IS THAT IT
MAY BE A SCHOOL SOME DAY.
SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF
WHAT OUR OTHER CONVERSATIONS
HAVE BEEN ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
THAT BLACKTOP, THE AMOUNT OF
GRASS, HOW MUCH PARKING, ALL
THOSE THINGS RESOLVE AROUND AN
ED CODE THAT SAYS YOU NEED THIS
IF YOU WANT TO PUT "X" AMOUNT OF
KIDS ON SAID SITE.
>> IF IT WAS A CHARTER SCHOOL,
SOME OF THOSE REGULATIONS THAT
APPLIED TO THIS AS A REGULAR
PUBLIC SCHOOL WOULD NOT APPLY.
>> TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, MY
OPINION, HAVING DEALT WITH
PUTTING KIDS, THE OLD MARSHALL
SCHOOL DOWNTOWN THAT WAS A
CHARTER SCHOOL WHERE CHARTER
SCHOOLS DIDN'T HAVE TO BE PUT IN
FIELD ACT COMPLIANT SCHOOLS AND
THAT'S THE EARTHQUAKE -- SO WE
PUT KIDS THERE AND ONE OF THE
FIRST THINGS MY NEW
SUPERINTENDENT REALIZED WAS
WHILE THE CHARTER SCHOOL DOESN'T
HAVE THAT REQUIREMENT, THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT PLACING THEM IN
A SITE THAT THEY OWN DOES HAVE
THAT REQUIREMENT, SO WE ENDED UP
MID YEAR HAVING TO MOVE THOSE
KIDS TO THOMPSON JEFFERSON THAT
WE HAD JUST CLOSED, SO THERE ARE
TIMES.
BUT AGAIN, LINDA, AND AGAIN, I
THINK THE WORLD OF WHAT
RIVERVIEW IS DOING, BUT THE ODDS
THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN
EXPLOSION OF ADDITIONAL CHILDREN
IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS AND IF
YOU OPENED ANOTHER SCHOOL,
REALLY ODDS ARE, YOU WILL
EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE
ANOTHER SCHOOL GO UNDER.
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
THE STATE OF UTAH FOR YEARS HAS
DONE PROJECTION PLANNING AND
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE CYCLICAL.
THEY START OFF WITH YOUNG PEOPLE
AND 20 YEARS LATER, IT'S ALL
OLDER PEOPLE AND THEN THEY MOVE
OUT OR PASS AWAY AND THE WHOLE
CYCLE STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN, SO
I WOULD LOOK RELUCTANTLY AT
THAT.
HOWEVER, WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO
TALK ABOUT IS PHASE 1B, SO IT'S
OBVIOUS THAT WE'RE BEING ASKED
TO APPROVE AN ADDITION OF A LOT
OF MONEY FOR A VARIETY OF
PROJECTS.
OKAY, IN TERMS OF WHAT'S IN THE
LEGACY FUND.
AND WE DON'T WANT TO EXCEED THE
CAPACITY OF THE LEGACY FUND, BUT
AS STACEY HAS POINTED OUT, IT'S
GUYS CONTINUE TO GROW OVER THE
NEXT FEW YEARS.
SO I'M WONDERING OBVIOUSLY THE
PHASE 1A IS NOT A LARGE-TICKET
ITEM.
PHASE 1B IS A LARGE-TICKET ITEM.
PHASE 2 IS A LARGE-TICKET ITEM.
SO UNDER PHASE 1B, IT'S OBVIOUS
THAT BACKSTOP, FENCES, FIELDS,
PARKING, ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO
PLAYING BALL, BUT WHAT'S THE
POSSIBILITY OF SIMPLY DELAYING
PLAZA AND SNACK BAR REPLACEMENT
FOR ANOTHER YEAR, AS OPPOSED TO
FUNDING THE WHOLE THING, THAT
WHOLE PACKAGE THIS YEAR?
AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT THE WAY
THEY WOULD PREFER TO HAVE IT.
IT'S JUST THAT WE ALSO NEED TO
ENSURE THAT WE ARE SPENDING TO
WHAT WE HAVE, AS OPPOSED TO JUST
NEEDING TO DRAW ADDITIONAL MONEY
THAT WE MAY NOT HAVE IN A
CURRENT YEAR.
>> I'M NOT SURE WE'RE ACTUALLY
AT A CASH FLOW DISCUSSION YET
BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY PARTIALLY
THROUGH THIS LIST OF PROJECTS.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE SHOULD
MAKE A DECISION WITH ONLY PART
OF THE INFORMATION.
>> BUT WE NEED TO BRING IT UP.
>> YOU'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY OF
THIS FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.
ARE YOU ASKING FOR THIS RIGHT
NOW?
>> ANY OF THOSE OPTIONS ARE
POSSIBLE FOR CITY COUNCIL.
>> BUT IT WOULD BE IN THE NEXT
MEASURE H?
>> WHEN I GET TO THE NEXT SLIDE,
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT
EVERYTHING IN TOTALITY SO YOU
CAN SEE WHAT'S BEEN APPROVED AND
WHAT WE ANTICIPATE COMING AND IT
MIGHT HELP THE DISCUSSION.
>> LET'S CONTINUE THE
PRESENTATION.
>> OKAY, THANK YOU, ALBERT.
AND WE CAN GO BACK IF WE NEED
TO.
BUT WE HAVE TAKEN YOU THROUGH A
PEEK AT LEAST AT EACH OF THE
EXISTING LEGACY FUND PROJECTS
AND THIS WILL GIVE US A CHANCE
TO LOOK AT IT AS A WHOLE, SO THE
LEGACY PROJECT AS OF 2019 WAS
APPROXIMATELY $8.6 MILLION AND
YOU CAN SEE EVEN AFTER
ACCOUNTING FOR THE $2.1 MILLION
THAT'S BEING ALLOCATED TO THE
FUND THIS FISCAL YEAR AS WELL AS
SOME ADDITIONAL REVENUES
ANTICIPATED, MOST OF THE LEGACY
FUND HAS ALREADY BEEN COMMITTED
TO PROJECTS SUCH AS GIRLS'
SOFTBALL, THE POOL PROJECT, ET
CETERA.
TAKING ALL OF THIS INTO ACCOUNT,
AND LOOKING AT THE FUTURE
ESTIMATED LEGACY FUND, WE THINK
THAT THE FUTURE FUND WILL HAVE
APPROXIMATELY $2.6 MILLION.
THIS WILL LEAVE A SHORTFALL IN
THE SENSE IF YOU WANTED TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH THE FULL LITTLE
LEAGUE PROJECT THAT COULD TOTAL
UP TO $6.5 MILLION AND IF WE
WANTED TO LOOK FORWARD ALSO TO
THE SACRAMENTO CHILDREN'S MUSEUM
PROJECT SPECIFICALLY PHASES ONE
AND TWO, YOU WOULD LIKELY NEED
AN ADDITIONAL $2 MILLION FOR
THAT AND THE YOUTH CENTER IF WE
JUST USE SOME PRELIMINARY
PROJECTIONS, WE WOULD ALSO NEED
$2 MILLION FOR THAT PROJECT.
SO YOU HAVE DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
YOU COULD PRE-COMMIT FUTURE
FUNDING OUT OF THE LEGACY FUND
AND SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE
GOING TO PRE-COMMIT $2.1 MILLION
EACH FISCAL YEAR BETWEEN FISCAL
YEAR 2021 ALL THE WAY TO FISCAL
YEAR 2022-23.
YOU COULD SAY COME BACK TO US IN
THE SPRING WHEN WE HAVE OUR
DETAILED DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE
FISCAL YEAR 2021 COMMUNITY
ENHANCEMENT FUND GRANT CYCLE.
NONE OF THE ABOVE.
THESE ARE ALL OPTIONS FOR YOU.
BUT THE ONE THING TO REALLY
THINK ABOUT IS IF YOU DO
PRE-COMMIT FUNDING TO THE
PROJECTS ON THE SCREEN, YOU'RE
ESSENTIALLY SAYING NO TO ANY
FUTURE PROJECTS THAT MIGHT POP
UP BASED UPON WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
ALLOCATING OR COUNCIL HAS BEEN
ALLOCATING EACH YEAR TOWARDS THE
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND.
>> AND THAT WAS REALLY MY POINT,
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOW -- I WOULD
GUESS THAT WE'RE IN OUR THIRD
YEAR OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE
POPPED UP OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE.
SO THE PROPERTY POPPED UP OUT OF
THE CLEAR BLUE.
THIS WONDERFUL YOUTH CENTER
POPPED UP OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE.
THE CHINA'S MUSEUM POPPED UP OUT
OF THE CLEAR BLUE, SO THAT'S
THREE INSTANCES IN THREE YEARS
OF WHERE WE'VE HAD AN INCREDIBLE
PROJECT THAT WE REALLY WANT THAT
WE COULD NOT HAVE ANTICIPATED
AND BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
CONSERVATIVE, WE'VE BEEN -- I
CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS,
BUT BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
CONSERVATIVE IN OUR SPENDING
APPROACH, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
BRING THESE PROJECTS INTO THE
CITY AND ONLINE.
>> WE'VE BEEN SAVING FOR THINGS
THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE WERE
GOING TO SPEND IT ON AND THINGS
WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO
SPEND IT ON.
>> BUT IF WE COMMIT EVERYTHING
AS STACY JUST SAID, IF WE COMMIT
EVERYTHING RATHER THAN CAN OF DO
IT THE WAY YOU WOULD IN YOUR
HOME-BASED BUDGET AND PLAN FOR
THINGS IN FUTURE YEARS, IN OUT
YEARS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
WE'VE COMMITTED OURSELVES FOR
THE NEXT THREE YEARS AND NOBODY
KNOWS WHAT COULD COME UP AT THAT
POINT.
>> WELL, THERE ARE ALSO OTHER
SOURCES OF FUNDING.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE GENERAL FUND
RESERVES.
WE ALSO HAVE PARK RENOVATION
FEES.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUND
BALANCE IS FOR PARK RENOVATION
FEES, BUT TECHNICALLY THOSE CAN
BE SPENT ON ANY OF THOSE
PROJECTS AS WELL.
BECAUSE IT'S POORLY NAMED.
>> LET'S BE REALISTIC.
WE'VE GOT $4 MILLION IN THERE
FOR THE MILL STATION CIVIC
CENTER, BUT WE'VE BEEN NOODLING
AROUND A $35 MILLION PROJECT, SO
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S FUNDING IN
OTHER PLACES.
>> I THINK, COUNCIL, FOR THE
OVERALL VISION THAT WE'VE HAD
RELATED TO THE CIVIC CENTER AND
WHEN WE DISCUSSED THE
AVAILABILITY OF CLOSE
TO $35 MILLION FOR THE CIVIC
CENTER WAS, IN FACT, COUNTING ON
SOME OF THE OTHER FUNDS AND
ESPECIALLY THE RESERVE FUNDS
THAT WE HAVE.
SO THAT'S BEEN THE PREMISE OF
SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE
AND THE FUNDING PLANS THAT WE
HAVE PUT IN PLACE.
>> SO IF WE FUND ALL OF THESE,
ARE WE POTENTIALLY DELAYING THE
CIVIC CENTER?
>> NO.
I THINK WHAT WE'RE SAYING, WE'RE
BASICALLY SAYING FOR IF THESE
PROJECTS ARE A PRIORITY FOR YOU,
THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM AND THE
YOUTH CENTER, ONE WAY TO FUND
ALL OF THOSE IS TO SIMPLY
PRE-COMMIT YOUR FUTURE LEGACY
FUNDS FOR THESE PROJECTS AND
THAT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING
THAT YOU'VE ALLOCATED ON DECIDED
ON THE PRIVATE LEGACY FUNDS, SO
THE TOP LIST PRETTY MUCH STAYS
INTACT.
WE HONOR THAT LIST.
>> OKAY.
JUST ■MY CONVERSATIONS I WOULD
SAY AT THE BOARD LEVEL FOR THE
CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, $2 MILLION
WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE THAN
THEY'RE GOING TO NEED IN PHASE 1
BASED ON THE ESTIMATES THAT
THEY'VE BEEN COLLECTING.
NOT A WHOLE LOT LESS THAN THAT,
BUT IT WOULD BE LESS THAN $2
MILLION.
ONE TO ONE-AND-A-HALF WOULD BE
MORE OF MY GUESS RIGHT NOW.
BUT AGAIN, WE'LL KNOW MORE ABOUT
THE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN END OF NEXT
MONTH AND KIND OF WHAT THE
TIMING LOOKS FOR THAT, BUT
DEPENDING ON THAT, I MEAN, IT
MAY ROLL INTO -- NOT THIS --
SOME OF IT NOT THIS NEXT FISCAL
YEAR, THE YEAR AFTER, DEPENDING
ON THE TIMING.
READING THE TEA LEAVES A LITTLE
BIT ON THAT ONE.
SO THERE MAY BE SOME SAVINGS
THERE FROM WHAT YOUR ESTIMATES
ARE.
THAT'S A GOOD PLACE TO END FOR
NOW, BUT --
>> I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY
PERSONAL DIFFICULTY SAYING THESE
ARE LEGACY PROJECTS WE'VE
IDENTIFIED AND FOR THIS CURRENT
FISCAL YEAR WHICH WE'RE ABOUT TO
VOTE ON, THIS IS OUR INTENTION.
>> YEAH.
>> IT SEEMS A REASONABLE -- IT
SEEMS REASONABLE CASH FLOW-WISE
TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT AND AS I
SAID BEFORE, I THINK WE CAN
ACTUALLY, IF WE NEEDED TO, FOR
EXAMPLE, WITH THE YOUTH CENTER
OR LITTLE LEAGUE, LOAN OURSELVES
SOMETHING FROM ANOTHER FUND AND
JUST PAY IT BACK THE FOLLOWING
YEAR.
>> FRANKLY, WE AS STAFF ARE NOT
TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE CASH
FLOW.
IT'S REALLY JUST --
>> IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE IN A
CASH-SHORT POSITION AT THE CITY.
>> THAT'S TRUE AND ALSO IT'S
KIND OF IRONIC.
THE THING ABOUT WHAT WE DID WHEN
WE FIRST BECAME A CITY, WE HAD
TO COME UP WITH A MILLION
DOLLARS AND IT WAS KIND OF HARD
THEN TO FIX THE KILGOUR
CEMETERY.
$1 MILLION.
AND NOW YOU LOOK AT THIS AND
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IS BEING
SPENT, HAS BEEN SPENT, IS GOING
TO BE SPENT, BUT JUST THAT ONE
THING.
AND IT WAS SOMETHING WE WERE SO
PROUD OF AND IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL,
BUT IT WAS $1 MILLION.
AND AS A NEW CITY, THAT WAS %-@.
BUT WE DID IT.
AND WE'VE GONE FURTHER DOWN THE
ROAD AND PEOPLE IN 2014 PASSED A
SALES TAX, BECAUSE THEY TRUSTED
US AND THEY CAN SEE WHERE THAT
MONEY GOES.
THEY SAY, THIS IS SOMETHING WE
NEED, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE
WANT.
I THINK WE'RE DOING -- HANDLING
THE MONEY VERY WISELY AND I
THINK PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT WE'RE
DOING IT WELL, SO I DON'T SEE
WHY WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOOK
FORWARD ON THIS.
I DON'T WANT TO START SPENDING
MONEY AND THE NEXT FIVE YEARS,
WE'RE GOING TO
COLLECT $40 MILLION AND SPEND IT
NOW.
NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT.
BUT I THINK AS WE'VE GROWN 17
YEARS NOW THIS COMING JULY, I'M
PRETTY HAPPY THAT WE'VE BEEN
ABLE TO DO AS A CITY AND WHAT
WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS A
CONTINUATION OF THAT.
>> WELL, IT'S A WONDERFUL
PROBLEM TO HAVE, TO BE ABLE TO
EVEN HAVE THIS DISCUSSION.
>> COUNCIL, MR. MAYOR, JUST IN
RESPONSE TO COUNCIL MEMBER
TERRY'S COMMENT ABOUT THE COST,
THESE ARE REALLY HIGH-LEVEL
ESTIMATES.
ANY OF THESE COSTS COULD CHANGE
BASED ON THE DESIGN WE GET INTO,
BASED ON THE ACTUAL BID THAT WE
GET FOR THE PROJECT.
SO THESE ARE HIGH-LEVEL
ESTIMATES, BUT I THINK THE POINT
OF THIS SLIDE IS THAT FOR US TO
BE ALL OF THESE, WE NEED TO
PRE-COMMIT TWO YEARS OR THREE
YEARS OF OUR LEGACY FUNDS AND
THEN THIS ALLOWS US TO START
WORKING ON THOSE IN ERNEST AND
GET THE BIDS FOR THE PROJECT.
>> I THINK THAT'S A REASONBLE
APPROACH.
>> WE NEED A MOTION ON THIS?
OR ... 
>> I THINK IT WOULD BE IF WE
WERE TO FORMIZE THIS AS WE GO
THROUGH OUR MEASURE H PROJECT
AND DISCUSSION, WE WANTED TO GET
A BROAD OR OVERALL COUNCIL
DIRECTION IF THIS IS THE RIGHT
APPROACH AND THIS IS WHERE YOU
WANT TO GO.
>> AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH
MEASURE H UNDER THE CHILDREN'S
MUSEUM, BEYOND THE LEGACY
BUDGET, I WILL BE REQUESTING A
DIRECT ALLOCATION ALONG THE SAME
LINES.
NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME NUMBERS
THAT THE AIR SHOW AND THE
COMMUNITY COUNCIL ARE STARTING
TO RECEIVE, SO DIRECT SUPPORT
EACH YEAR FOR OPERATIONAL.
AND OBVIOUSLY YOU ALREADY KNOW
WE DID SOME OF THE 200,000 THAT
WAS ALLOCATED, WE USED FOR THAT
THIS YEAR.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK.
ONE THING I DID WANT TO BRING TO
YOUR ATTENTION, WHEN YOU ADOPTED
THE BUDGET IN JUNE, YOU HAD
INDICATED IF REVENUES COME IN
HIGHER THAN ANTICIPATED, YOU
WANTED US TO RESTORE THE BUDGETS
FOR BOTH PUBLIC WORKS AND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE WE
HAD TAKEN FUNDING AWAY FROM
THOSE TWO AREAS IN ORDER TO
BALANCE IT AT $8.2 MILLION, SO
PER YOUR PRIOR DIRECTION, WE ARE
RESTORING THOSE TWO BUDGETS TO
THE INITIAL AMOUNTS THAT THEY
REQUESTED DURING THE GRANT
APPLICATION CYCLE.
>> HOW MUCH IS THAT?
>> I THINK TOTAL, IT WAS
APPROXIMATELY $110,000 BETWEEN
BOTH AREAS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> THERE YOU GO, MICA.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> THAT'S HORRIBLE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
FEEDBACK TONIGHT AND WE WILL
COME BACK TO YOU THIS SPRING AS
WE DISCUSS THE COMMUNITY
ENHANCEMENT FUND CYCLE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT WAS ITEM 12.3.
ITEM 13, COUNCIL REQUESTS FOR
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS?
>> SO I GOT ONE.
ONLY BECAUSE ONE OF MY FRIENDS
SITTING UP HERE HAD THE SAME
PROBLEM THAT I HOUSE I LIVED IN
HAD.
I'D REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A
CONVERSATION AT SOME POINT
AROUND BUILDING CODES AND WHAT
CONTROL OR INFLUENCE THE CITY
HAS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO
HOME BUILDING CODES.
IN PARTICULAR, VERTICAL VENTS,
DRYER VENTS FOR CLOTHES DRYERS
AND THE HORRIBLE DESIGN OF
HAVING A VERTICAL 15-FOOT PIPE
THAT FILLS UP WITH LINT AND
EVENTUALLY CAN CAUSE FIRES LIKE
I HEARD ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS
THAT MIGHT BE INVOLVED WITH THE
REGULATION OF HOME BUILDING AND
CODES HAD.
BUT WE HAD SOMEBODY EXPERIENCE
THAT ISSUE.
I'VE EXPERIENCED THAT ISSUE, AND
I THINK I'D REALLY LOVE TO HEAR
WHAT THINGS WE COULD HAVE
>> I WOULD LIKE TO AGREE WITH
THAT.
I'M ONE OF THE PEOPLE
EXPERIENCING THE HOUSE POSSIBLY
CATCHING ON FIRE FROM A VENT NOW
FULL UP OF STUFF AND WATER AND
BIRDS IN NOW MY LAUNDRY.
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
>> AND WE'RE NOT TALKING OUR
1960'S HOMES.
WE'RE TALKING THE NEWER HOMES IN
TOWN.
>> COULD I SUGGEST THE
POSSIBILITY OF A MEETING WITH
JUST THE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO
ARE INTERESTED IN THIS TOPIC
WITH ME?
>> SURE, THAT'S FINE.
>> AND THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
YOU MAY HEAR THE CODE AND OUR
LIMITED AUTHORITY UNDER CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES AND NOT WANT --
>> YOU MAKE ME THINK I SHOULD GO
HOME AND LOOK AT THE SIDE OF THE
HOUSE AND SEE IF THERE'S A DRYER
VENT.
>> YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY GO
LOOK AT THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
NOT EVEN JOKING.
>> THAT WOULDN'T HELP FOR US,
BECAUSE OURS GOES STRAIGHT UP.
>> AND IT FILLS UP AND IT'S BEEN
CATCHING FIRE IN SOME PEOPLE'S
HOUSES BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY TO
GET UP TO CLEAN UP AND IT
DOESN'T PIPE DOWN.
YES, I JUST PAID A GUY TO CLEAN
IT AND IT DIDN'T HELP.
YEAH, THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT.
>> DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
OUR NEW AGENDA ON HOW WE'RE
DOING THIS?
NOWNOW WE'RE GOING TO GO TO CLOD
SESSION.
HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE INCLUDED
IN THIS NEW FORMAT?
>> IT WON'T BE AT THIS TIME.
SO THE SAME PROCESS AS PRIOR.
>> OKAY, AND WITH THAT LEAD-IN,
WE ARE GOING TO ADJOURN TO
CLOSED SESSION AND WE ARE GOING
TO HOLD THOUGHT OF OUR ACCIDENT
VICTIMS FROM THIS PAST WEEKEND
AS WE ADJOURN TO CLOSED SESSION.
AND GARRETT'S FRIEND.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU ALL VERY
MUCH.
